Liaozhai: A Poor Monk Transcends to Immortal

Chapter 127 The Second Emperor of Zhou Dynasty (please subscribe)
Three children were playing at the entrance of the village. From time to time they looked at Pudu in confusion, as if they were wondering why the little monk was looking at them.Pudu ignored them at all and still looked at the three children blankly. An incredible idea suddenly came to his mind.

Since it’s okay to be distracted, can’t it be divided twice?

Therefore, neither the man in white nor the man in black is the so-called true deity, but has been separated. So where is the true deity?Pudu looked towards the valley. Apart from the village in front of him, there were only bamboo groves and peach groves, and there was no other place where people could live.

As Pudu glanced around, the sky gradually darkened. Pudu shook his head and walked towards the village.

The moment I walked in, a flash of inspiration flashed through my mind again.
village!

The village in this valley is not big, but there are more than a hundred households. At least Pudu has never seen its full picture until now.

······
The next day, it was bright and clear. After going out, Pudu did not go to the peach grove or the bamboo forest. Instead, he wandered around the village. One day passed and he visited more than [-] households without finding anything.

On the second day, I went to [-] households, but there was no harvest.

······
As night fell on the fifth day, the rustling wind could still be heard in the silent night, and it stayed at the door for a long time before dissipating.

On the sixth day, Pudu did not go out. Although it was as bright as day outside, the house was still dark. Only a few rays of light could be seen through the window. Pudu could be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed, as still as a mountain.

The people in the village didn't seem to realize it, and were still minding their own business.

The whole morning passed by quietly, and Pudu's closed eyes suddenly opened, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Although there were still some things he didn't understand, he seemed to understand some things.

Standing up and pushing open the door, the midday sun was extremely glaring, but it didn’t stop Pudu’s footsteps, and he walked straight to a place. It was a private house, which seemed no different from ordinary houses, but the people living here were from the village. The most prestigious old man.

Knocking lightly on the door, a rickety figure opened the door. When he saw it was Pudu, a bit of surprise flashed across his face.

"Little master, are you here to see me for something?"

"The young monk has met the great emperor." Pudu said with a smile and a salute.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm afraid the young master has misunderstood. I'm just the village chief of Taoyuan Village."

"My lord, there is no village in Taoyuan, where is the village chief?"

Facing Pudu's words, the old man just smiled slightly: "Young master, what a joke. Look at my appearance, how can I look like a great emperor?"

The old man has an old face and looks like a mortal who is 80 or [-] years old. It would be difficult for ordinary people to associate him with this old man.Moreover, in Pudu's consciousness, the Great Zhou Emperor should be majestic and majestic.

However, after pondering last night and this morning, he found that he was wrong.

The two in the bamboo grove and the peach grove have already been eliminated by him, and the people in this village have been watched over and over again. If the most unlikely ones are eliminated using the previous life's elimination method, the remaining ones are the most likely. Therefore, the old man in front of him It should be the person who separated the two gods, the so-called Great Zhou Emperor.

After receiving the news, he was a bit disbelieving, but apart from this, he couldn't think of any other results.

"Isn't it appropriate that the emperor will look old after being in power for hundreds of years?"

The old man looked at Pudu in trance for a long time, his cloudy eyes gradually became sharp, and in the end, he was even too scared to look directly at him.

"Ugh!"

"It's been 5000 years. If the young master hadn't mentioned it, I might have almost forgotten my identity."

His rickety figure gradually straightened up, and his brows exuded a heroic spirit that belonged to a young man. His sharp eyes were hard to look into. After seeing the old man like this, Pudu finally showed a smile on his face. Did he guess it right? ?

"However, you little guy is indeed smart. Many people have come in in the past 5000 years, but most of them chose to attack Taolin in order to get out. You are the first to be able to find me so clearly. "

The old man looked at Pudu with a little more admiration.

"Thank you for the compliment, Emperor."

"Which temple did you come from, maybe the old man has heard of it before."

"The young monk can be regarded as the descendant of Bodhi Temple."

Bodhi Temple?
After Pudu uttered these three words, he never saw a fierce light flash in the old man's eyes, but in the end it was driven away by a deep helplessness.

"Haha, no wonder he is so wise, he turns out to be the descendant of Bodhi Temple."

"Has the Emperor ever heard of Bodhi Temple?"

"Why, as a descendant of Bodhi Temple, don't you know that Bodhi Temple is one of the three holy places of Buddhism in the world?"

One of the three most sacred places for Buddhism in the world, was the former Bodhi Temple so powerful?
Unfortunately, it has now declined to exist in name only.

Pudu sighed and explained: "To be honest with the emperor, this may have been the case 5000 years ago, but now, only the monk and the master are left in Pudu Temple."

When the old man heard this, a look of relief suddenly appeared on his face. If he was in a good state of mind, he might even laugh out loud.

"That's good news."

"The Emperor has a grudge against my Bodhi Temple?"

"It happened many years ago and has nothing to do with you little guy."

Pudu nodded, since there is a complaint, it is better not to mention it.

The old man looked at the clouds rolling in the sky, and a trace of reminiscence gradually flashed in his eyes...

"5000 years ago, the nine states were unified and the world returned to Zhou. I thought this was the beginning of the prosperity of my great Zhou Dynasty. Unfortunately, in just a few hundred years, it was like a castle in the sky, scattered into the clouds and smoke. Even I was unable to do anything at that time. He became a king who subjugated his country before his eyes."

"I am not willing to give in. Looking at the long history, who can compete with me?"

"Wuyou, this emperor is the protagonist of this world."

"But, unfortunately, I am just an ordinary person." "It's ridiculous. I control the mountains and rivers and control the immortals, but I am just an ordinary person."

Pudu couldn't help but fell into silence after hearing this. As an ordinary person, he unified the mountains and rivers of Jiuzhou and the country. I have to say that the man in front of him is indeed an extraordinary figure.

"I was once like a dim starlight, but it seems that God showed mercy and allowed me to obtain a method called Shinto. It is like a thing from the heavens and can make mortals live forever. I was overjoyed when I learned that, so It was during the Great Zhou Dynasty that I used the divine way to great extent, but I never thought that this was the beginning of the destruction of my Great Zhou Dynasty."

"In the beginning, it was indeed as expected by Shinto. This emperor has become a god emperor from a mortal. He can look down on immortals and Buddhas, and even kill them. Immortals and Buddhas are afraid of this emperor. But as time went by, this emperor found that his mind There are some different things in it, like the gangrene of the tarsus, and even the cultivation base has dropped one after another, there is no record in the Shinto, and this emperor calls it the poison of incense."

"As the strength of this emperor becomes stronger and stronger, the poison of incense gradually becomes stronger. I even feel that if this continues, I will be swallowed by the poison of incense and turn into a unconscious existence. And, the entire world The gods who were enthroned in Zhou Dynasty were also corroded by the poison of incense just like this emperor."

"Haha, these greedy people thought this was the Emperor's way of controlling them. The Emperor has always acted openly and aboveboard, so why bother with these fancy tricks. But no one believed it, so some of the most unbearable thoughts of my great Zhou appeared. Shinto would no longer exist. The Sihu Human Race fell into the evil way instead, and all the immortals and Buddhas were implicated. As for the result, I don’t need to talk about it.”

The old man looked at him and smiled sadly.

Pudu fell into silence again. It turned out that the collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty was due to this.

It is conceivable that the Shinto is spread all over the Great Zhou. If there is a problem with the Shinto, that is, there is a problem with the entire Great Zhou. If he wants to remove the Shinto, he may not be able to do it for a while. Moreover, the Great Zhou is prosperous. There is no way to leave Shinto. If Shinto disappears, Dazhou will not be able to survive for long.

What's more, they are still those otherworldly immortals and Buddhas.

Pudu glanced at the old man in front of him and sighed secretly. No one was at fault. What was wrong was just chance. What was wrong was that the divine way was not consistent with this world. What was wrong was that human nature was greedy and could not lose its tail.

"I have used the power of the remaining incense to form a barrier here. Within the barrier, you can live forever. Otherwise, I, an ordinary person, will never live for 5000 years." The old man looked at what was in front of him with great satisfaction. of valley.

"The emperor can be here alone, so why bother involving these innocent people?"

It's just a valley, how is it different from a prison?
And these people are just ordinary people. For 5000 years, for 5000 years, I am afraid they will also suffer a lot. If they have a choice, these people will probably choose a life of birth, old age, illness and death.

"This emperor gave them the chance to live forever, they should thank him!"

"This is just the emperor's wishful thinking. For these people, birth, old age, illness and death are the normal life. Living in vain for 5000 years is like living in a cramped prison. If the monk has guessed correctly, many of these people have committed suicide. I survived, but I was saved by the Emperor."

"Your Majesty, please take a look. These people are repeating the past all day long. For them, immortality is not a reward, but an endless disaster."

The old man looked at the village calmly. It is true that many people have done some stupid things in the past 5000 years, but with his methods, it is not a problem as long as they don't die. They are just wasting some incense power.

However, he is also a mortal, and maybe someone can accompany him.

Although these villagers had smiles on their faces, they had already lost consciousness in their hearts. Perhaps this was the numbness that the little monk said.

The old man turned to look at Pudu: "If I trade you for these people, would you be willing?"

When Pudu heard this, he immediately shook his head without any hesitation: "The young monk doesn't want to."

The old man's eyes twinkled: "Don't you believe in Buddhism to save all sentient beings? Why don't you want to?"

"Pudu himself is still in the sea of ​​suffering, how can he save others? Besides, only by preserving his life can he save more people, and if the little monk leaves this place, he will be able to open the barrier in less than ten years. In this way, wouldn't it be better than Is it more suitable to trade one's body for a ferry?"

ten years?

Haha, a smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth.

He has seen countless people in his life, but this is the first time he has seen a young monk who speaks so loudly.

"Since you can find me, you should understand that if you want to go out, you must defeat one of them. Whether you can do it depends on yourself." The old man did not let the people here go because of Pudu's few words, but smiled. said something.

After that, he turned around and returned to the house.

Pudu smiled slightly, as if he had expected this. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to delve into the reason for immortality here, he would have taken action early in the morning.

After leaving the village, we walked straight towards the bamboo forest.Although he should have gone to the Peach Forest, he still chose the Bamboo Forest. As for the reason, it was just a choice in his heart.

In the bamboo forest, the sound of the piano fluttered, and the bamboo leaves flew down. Accompanied by the sound of Pudu's footsteps, the sound of the piano became more intense. Pudu stood not far away with a smile, waiting quietly for the end of the song.

In the peach grove, a black-robed figure looked in the direction of the bamboo forest. His eyes were extremely complicated, with curiosity and doubt, but also a little bit of relief. Many people came in, but most of them chose that guy, and for him Taking action, this interesting little monk actually chose to take action against him instead of the guy in Zhulin.

After the music ended, the figure slowly stood up.

"To my surprise, you actually chose him."

"Senior is disappointed."

"Why are you disappointed? It's just a game. But you, your cultivation is so bad, I'm afraid there is little chance of getting out."

"How can we know without comparing?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Pudu took the lead. The Buddhist magic power surged in his body, and the Buddha's light filled the entire bamboo forest for a while, dyeing the bamboo forest with a golden glow.A Buddha's palm fell out of thin air toward the man in white, and it was easily broken when he raised his hand.

Both parties are feeling the power of temptation.

The man in white couldn't help but have a strange look on his face. He was clearly only in the Xuandan realm, but he actually had the strength of the Zifu realm. He was worthy of being a young monk from Bodhi Temple, and he suddenly became interested in this battle.What surprised Pudu was that the man in white was obviously the spirit of incense, but the power he used was filled with evil intentions.

As for the cultivation base, it is in the Purple Mansion Realm.

Invincible in the Zifu realm?
Sorry, he's not bad either.

Immediately, they started fighting in the bamboo forest with all their strength. The bamboo in the bamboo forest was attached with a golden glow, which was indestructible. Even if the two of them were in the Purple Mansion realm, they still could not break it. It must be because of the power of incense.

Two white shadows shuttled back and forth in the bamboo forest. As time passed, the battle between the two gradually became more intense, but they were actually between brothers.

The face of the man in white was full of shock and confusion. He was only in the Xuandan realm. How could he have such power?
The man in black in the peach forest also twitched his mouth and looked at this scene with shock in his eyes. How could this little monk be so strong?
A touch of luck and fear flashed through his heart. Fortunately, the young monk chose that guy. If he had chosen him, there wouldn't be much difference. After all, the two were equally capable.

In the village, an old man stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the golden light and dim light that kept flashing in the bamboo forest. A flash of surprise flashed on his face, and then he shook his head. Although he was a little shocked by Pudu's strength, that alone could not change the situation. .
