I want to embrace the moon for nine days

Although the Holy Mountain is located on Xiniu Hezhou, it is invisible to ordinary people's eyes. However, those who have awakened their wisdom and practiced Buddhism, or those who have the Dharma eyes of immortals, can see it.

The sacred mountain in their eyes is a series of peaks, some ten thousand feet high and some a thousand feet low. Some of the peaks are shaped like vultures, some like elks, and some like precious lamps and sutras.

The Great Leiyin Temple is located on the top of Lingshan Mountain. The residences and lotus platforms of many Vajra guardian gods are distributed on the surrounding peaks, all showing their Dharma appearances, guarding the dojo of Tathagata Buddha.

Ever since the Black Lotus of Nothingness blossomed in the sky above the Great Leiyin Temple, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have entered into Nirvana in peace.

The images of many Vajra warriors, guardian celestial generals, and the eight major tribes all shrunk and dimmed, losing their luster, like clay puppets.

But the black lotus of nothingness does not affect mundane things.

Therefore, the peaks of Lingshan Mountain have become just like ordinary mountains elsewhere, with green mountains and clear waters, wild flowers and grasses, gurgling streams, deer drinking water, and flocks of birds returning to their nests.

The true appearance of Lingshan reflected in the Haotian Mirror now is very different from what the immortals saw in the past.

In the Xiniu Hezhou Island, there is a large golden perfume sea, which is boundless, clear and transparent. You can directly see the underwater scenery, and carp and dragons are swimming around in the distance.

There are also thousands of fairy birds that even the immortals of the East China Sea cannot recognize at the moment, living on the coral islands in the Perfume Sea.

In the center of this golden perfume sea is the sacred mountain, which is unfathomable and unreachable.

All the sacred mountains and peaks seen by the immortals and Buddhists on earth on a daily basis are located in a small area on the top of this real sacred mountain.

"Eighty thousand miles into the water, eighty thousand miles out of the water."

Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but mutter to himself when he saw the scenery reflected on the Haotian Mirror.

"Because I love to visit scenic spots, I have written travel notes at home and abroad. When I visited Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea, I heard the carp in his pond boasting to me that it originally grew at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, in the golden perfume sea."

"They also said that the true sacred mountain is 80,000 miles into the water and 80,000 miles out of the water, and they even used the measurement method of the ancient gods."

"It's a pity that the carp was once the king of the Golden Perfume Sea, disturbing its tranquility. After being expelled, it couldn't even find its way back. I always felt a little regretful that I couldn't see its true face."

“I never thought that now that the black lotus is in full bloom and Buddhism is silent, I would be able to see the real Lingshan.”

The Immortal of the Golden Summit smiled and said, "The Tathagata Buddha has great magical powers and immeasurable dharma power. Ever since he came to Lingshan to sit in the dharma hall, whenever he preached, his dharma power would condense into substantial scriptures, like stones and jade, and pile up in Lingshan. Therefore, Lingshan has become more and more vast over the past ten thousand years."

Su Hanshan was quite appreciative: "Big is good, this Lingshan was trained really well by Tathagata Buddha."

“I wonder if during the heyday of Buddhism, when all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats came together to praise the Tathagata, could the Buddha have used this sacred mountain as a weapon to wield.”

“If he can really do it, even though he may not be the best in the Three Realms in terms of magical power, at least no one in the Three Realms can confront him head-on with strength.”

After hearing this, Kinnara Bodhisattva's eyes lit up and he said to Su Hanshan, "I once advised the Buddha not to build the sacred mountain into such an ordinary shape."

"If we pile them up into a giant pillar, and if we ever need to do anything, all the Buddhas can use their magical powers to treat the pillar as a long stick or iron pestle, and smash it with all their might. It will be invincible and extremely satisfying."

"The younger generations in the Buddhist community have always said that my instruments are too plain and not suitable for attracting the general public. I have also considered that I can inlay them with many diamonds and gemstones."

Kinnara shook his head, feeling sad. "What a pity! When I sent the blueprint to Tathagata, he was just giving a Dharma talk to Dingguang. When he saw my blueprint, he shook his head repeatedly and wiped it away with his hand. It seemed that he didn't even want to look at it for half an hour. He was only focused on preaching his damn Dharma."

"I suspect that their decision to cheat me later was also related to these past disagreements. These people are the most petty."

Sun Wukong said, "Brother Luo, don't be angry. Look at the Golden Perfume Sea. It is calm now and the scenery is much worse. The entire sacred mountain has no golden light at all. How can it compare to the time when all the Buddhas were here?"

"That old Tathagata was the one who schemed the most. In the end, he had to bear the loss of the Void Black Lotus himself."

Tang Seng was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he quickly said, "Jin Ding Daxian, you want to show us more than just this, right?"

The Immortal at the Golden Summit nodded, his eyes somewhat solemn, and bowed towards the sky.

It was already night time, and the sky was dotted with stars.

At this moment, he bowed, and the stars in the sky turned slightly, and there was a sign that the stars were returning to their positions.

The vast and boundless star power, it is impossible to tell from which trajectory it was transmitted, but it has already surged into the Haotian Mirror.

The light of the treasure mirror itself was originally dazzling golden, but at this time it became more restrained. After converging with so much magic power, it settled down, turning the frame of the treasure mirror into an ancient and dull dark gold color.

The mirror surface is completely free of any color interference and is completely transparent, illuminating more details.

All around that huge sacred mountain, above and below, near and far, there were chaotic air currents that flowed out from nothingness like millions of ribbons.

Some flow out tens of thousands of miles, some flow out a thousand eight hundred miles, and then disappear into nothingness, without beginning or end, surging all the time, in a state of high-speed flow, resonating with the aura emitted by the Lingshan Black Lotus.

The auras generated by these interactions condensed into a large number of mirrors in the surrounding nothingness.

The shapes of the mirrors are very varied, including Liuhe, Sixiang, Jiugong, monopole Yin-Yang fish, diamond-shaped, ellipse, pentagon, octagon, snowflake, some look like a flattened Luban lock, pagoda-shaped, and many more indescribable shapes.

But there is one common feature: the inner sides of all the mirrors have an arc, which just fits the arc of Lingshan Mountain from a distance and revolves around Lingshan Mountain.

The speed and length of each chaotic airflow are constantly changing, so these mirrors appear and disappear from time to time, appearing and disappearing mysteriously.

Among the immortals present, most of them did not have time to see clearly what scenes were on those mirrors.

Only a few people could see some familiar faces in the mirror.

"That seems to be... me, Old Sun?"

Sun Wukong's eyelids glowed with gold, and he blinked again and again. He couldn't help scratching the monkey hair on the back of his hand, "When did I wear such a black and red armor, and it was so fierce?"

Lu Dongbin also let out a light exclamation.

He didn't see himself, but he seemed to see Erlang Shen.

The one who knows seventy-two transformations, has Roaring Sky Dog by his side, and has a third eye should be Erlang Shen, right?

He was much younger than the Erlang Shen he was familiar with in the Three Realms, and his temperament was quite different.

"Is this the past and the future? No, the Three Pure Ones have been through it all. The Jade Emperor is in the Golden Palace of Heaven and can also monitor the past and the present."

Lan Caihe questioned and thought, "If Master Tongtian was targeting the past and the future, he would have fought the Jade Emperor head-on. It's impossible for him to continue to deter each other like this."

With their vision and cultivation, they would have known long ago that there were many worlds in the chaos. However, since they themselves had not entered the ninth level and did not have the unique opportunity to travel, they did not think it through for the time being.

"Those things in the mirror are all miniatures of other worlds."

Su Hanshan stared for a moment and said, "The heavens are vast, and there are many mythological stories circulating in these places that are similar to the three realms. In some places, even the structure of the world is similar to the three realms."

"Tongtian wanted to achieve the unity of the three realms, but he was not sure at the moment. He eliminated all the nine levels in the three realms and managed to connect many other realms by using the higher ones."

"The evil stars, the chaotic energy, the black lotus of nothingness, plus the worlds that have been captured by him, the area around Lingshan is really dangerous at the moment."

The Eight Immortals understood.

Lu Dongbin said: "Even if it is Zhenyuan Tianzun and the eight immortals like us, if we break into the vicinity of Lingshan and mistakenly enter any world, he can take the opportunity to sever that world and disrupt cause and effect."

"By then, we will want to find the right way to return to the Three Realms, but we don't know how long it will take."

Su Hanshan stared at the mirror and pondered for a moment.

Patriarch Buzhou and Dragon Emperor Yuyuan had both crossed over before, and they had extensive experience in traveling through the heavens.

In the process of replacing Lingbao Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu mastered all traces of the Three Realms. Even if he could not completely devour the clones of the two great masters, he at least gained a lot from them.

It is even possible that the Dragon Emperor is his ally, and it is hard to say whether the God of Mount Buzhou has any connection with him.

Master Tongtian should have known the method of sensing the other world a long time ago, and he has comprehended it and used it many times.

Therefore, since he recently obtained the Black Lotus of Nothingness, he was able to sense so many different worlds at once, stand on the sacred mountain, and operate such a large formation with ease.

The Immortal of the Golden Summit sighed and said, "I'm sure you all have seen the danger of this formation. The immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court have been watching the Haotian Mirror before, and they have never been able to come up with a good way to break the formation."

"If we rush in rashly, being stranded in another world is not a big deal, but we may be used by Master Tongtian to speed up the speed of devouring the other world. Therefore, we can only be intimidated from afar and think hard."

Su Hanshan chuckled in his heart.

This sounds good, but no one would believe it.

The only thing that really threatens Master Tongtian is the Jade Emperor sitting in the Golden Palace of Haotian.

The other gods and immortals were at most auxiliary. Since there was no real war, their auxiliary role was dispensable and they could have come down to the mortal world to help. The Jade Emperor restrained the gods and watched the fire from the other side. He was just sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

The existence of the Dragon Emperor, Tongtian Sect Master, and even the Lingshan Buddha is a great threat to the authority of the Heavenly Court.

The power possessed by the Eight Immortals after they gather together would probably be a bit annoying to the Jade Emperor.

Su Hanshan didn't look at the Haotian Mirror, but looked directly at Xiniu Hezhou with his naked eyes.

With the foundation of what the Haotian Mirror had just shown, when he looked at it again this time, he could not only see the traces of the formation's operation, but also see that in the golden perfume sea, there was a faint layer of chaos and mystery.

It is estimated that when the Dragon Emperor was in the Three Realms, he had been secretly using the Ultimate Chaos Mysterious Light to help cover up the movements of Master Tongtian.

The Jade Emperor also underestimated the progress of Tongtian Sect Master at that time. When the Dragon Emperor was fighting with Su Hanshan and the Eight Immortals, it was no longer possible to conceal it. The Jade Emperor saw the clues over there, so he quickly sent people to help the Eight Immortals.

The Eight Immortals exchanged glances, and obviously thought of this as well. Lu Dongbin snorted and laughed.

He Xiangu sighed and said, "Tongtian Sect Master's actions cannot be tolerated. Our first priority is to try to break the formation."

Su Hanshan said, "I think this formation should be called the 'Spiritual Treasure All Heavens Longevity Formation', which controls the lifespans of many other worlds and brings them under his control, and finally helps him completely master our three worlds of stars."

"However, most of the worlds in that formation are not strong. The most critical nodes should be worlds that also have the structure of the three realms and whose lifespans have been damaged."

Lu Dongbin nodded repeatedly: "The Guixu Dragon King was exiled so quickly, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Thanks to this, Master Tongtian's formation has not yet been truly completed."

"The Jade Emperor has noticed something is wrong, and now he should really use the Heavenly Court to have a deterrent effect."

"We can target those worlds first, but we can't enter them in person. We need to explore them with our minds first and try to lay some foundations."

Lu Dongbin put his fingers together like a sword and pointed them lightly. A ray of light as thin as a gossamer spread out.

The eight immortals are in a unique state, with their spiritual lights connected as one. The so-called exploration of thoughts at this time is not as simple as projecting a little thought over, but extending one end of the spiritual light into the formation.

Even if the formation is not complete yet, it is extremely difficult for the mind to travel through the formation, not to mention accurately entering those worlds.

Su Hanshan originally wanted to use the Taiyi Wheel to help them conceal the traces of cause and effect so as to facilitate their entry into the formation, but he discovered that the Eight Immortals' methods were also very sophisticated.

The moral spirit of Taiqing is the source of sentient wisdom. It is connected with all living beings. There are so many causes and effects that any trace of it is natural and common on them.

On the contrary, it is impossible to clearly distinguish their traces from a causal perspective.

Su Hanshan noticed that some of the immortals were interested, so he immediately said, "Everyone, please be patient and prepare for us in case of emergency."

It is too dangerous to break into this formation at the beginning. Apart from Su Hanshan and the Eight Immortals, it is estimated that only Sun Wukong and Kinnara can give it a try.

Kinnara is the greatest protector of Buddhism. There is no need to elaborate on the depth of his foundation.

Sun Wukong was a stone monkey born from heaven, conceived in the magical stones of the immortal mountain of the Three Islands, the ancestral vein of the Ten Continents. He ate many Nine-Revolution Golden Pills from Laozi, and was given the title of Fighting and Victory Buddha.

The strength of his vitality is actually far beyond the combat power he can usually display.

At that moment, a point of spiritual light extended from between the eyebrows of Kinnara Bodhisattva, and like a white hair, it rotated to the right, becoming longer and longer, and reaching into nothingness.

Sun Wukong stood still, and a golden hair grew from the back of his head, piercing upward into the void.

Su Hanshan flicked his sleeves and the Taiyi Wheel behind him started to rotate, adding a small halo to the center of their eyebrows and the back of their heads.

After hearing what Su Hanshan said, the group of immortals quieted down and waited attentively.

Jigong could have given it a try, but Su Hanshan had already secretly sent him to the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West.

The ancient gods Queen Mother of the West and Maitreya Buddha were still busy in there, but Su Hanshan concealed the traces of cause and effect so that they could not be noticed by outsiders.

The Immortal Jinding looked at everyone and found that Su Hanshan's eyes met his, so he quickly looked away.

The stars and gods in the sky are watching the human world, but when the starry air within a thousand miles of Su Hanshan comes, it will flash inexplicably and then reappear, as if it has been filtered by Su Hanshan.

After waiting for a moment, the Immortal of the Golden Peak forced a smile and said, "When will the Heavenly Lord break through the formation?"

Su Hanshan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes lively, and smiled slightly when he heard the words: "I've already gone."

One end of his spiritual light had already penetrated deep into the formation.

The stars in the sky seemed to be blinking, shining towards the western Lingbao array. The confrontation between the two sides seemed calm, but the immortal energy and evil spirits between heaven and earth, and the chaotic atmosphere outside the world, were entangled with trillions of changes every moment.

Su Hanshan's spiritual light penetrated into the ever-changing formation, swaying and falling into a crucial world.

This world also has a distinction between heaven, earth and man, and the human world is in midsummer.

The sun was shining brightly, but the ground was not dry. Instead, there were heavy winds and rain, and the ground was muddy everywhere.

The heavy rain under the sun was even more uncomfortable. The stuffy heat caused countless people to suffer and fall ill.

In a courtyard on the outskirts of the city, Dong Yong's face was sallow as he lay on a rocking chair with his clothes unbuttoned, his ribs clearly visible, his back drenched in sweat, and rough gasping sounds coming from his throat.

When he was young, he read books, worked the land, had a good physique, and learned carpentry from his cousin. He also had a beautiful wife and a cooperative business, and lived a good life.

Especially his wife, who was originally the seventh princess in heaven and had her own magical powers. She passed on some of them to Dong Yong. Although she could not make him immortal, she could certainly help him live a hundred years and maintain his youthful beauty.

Unfortunately, I am so sick now that I can’t even stand up.

A woman in purple clothes came out of the room, holding a bowl of medicine soup, her eyes slightly red: "Husband, drink this medicine soup quickly, it should make you feel better."

Dong Yong struggled for a while but couldn't sit up. He could only watch his wife put the medicine into his mouth with a spoon.

"Ma'am, I'm afraid I can't do it."

After Dong Yong finished drinking the medicine soup, he panted and said, "This place is already a place of trouble. You can't stay here for long. When I'm gone, my lady can rely on her magic power to find some secluded place like a deep sea cave to hide."

"It would be even better if Big Sister and the others could contact you in the future."

The Seventh Princess shed tears and made hand gestures.

"Don't cast the spell."

Dong Yong suddenly said, "My lady, it is becoming increasingly difficult for you to recover your magical power. If you force yourself to use it, even if I live one more day, it will only mean one more day of suffering."

Dong Yong smiled, and he could still vaguely see a bit of his cheerful and resolute appearance when he was young, "My lady, please forgive my selfishness and don't let me suffer like this anymore, okay?"

The Seventh Princess' fingertips trembled, and finally she dispersed the spell, and said softly: "You sleep for a while, I will go back to the room to clean up."

Dong Yong obediently closed his eyes, but he was so sick that he couldn't fall asleep. Even with his eyes closed, his eyeballs couldn't help but tremble from side to side, and the muffled gasps in his throat were heartbreaking.

The seventh princess returned to the house, put down the medicine bowl, and was wiping her eyes with the back of her hand when she suddenly heard a voice.

"Madam, I see that you have a trace of luck that connects the three realms of heaven, earth and man. Although it is declining, it can still be saved. Are you willing to give it a try?"

The Seventh Princess was startled, she made hand gestures and asked, "Who is it?"

In the past, she had been tortured and had her immortal bones removed. Later, in order to fight a great demon, she regained her immortal power. She had suffered extraordinary hardships. Although her magic power has been declining over the years, her perception is even sharper than at the beginning.

She made a gesture, but still could not sense any signs of strangers around her.

"Ma'am, don't be alarmed or raise your voice. Your husband is so ill, you don't want to make him more worried."

Su Hanshan's words rang out, "I am just a little bit of martial arts essence that wandered from outer space. I saw that your world was captured by a certain ancient giant demon leader and the situation was critical. I wanted to help you break this disaster."

"But even if God helps you, you still need to help yourself. When I first entered the world, I saw that you were the easiest to help yourself, so I came to you first."

The Seventh Princess calmed down, her mind turned, and she said in a deep voice: "No matter who you are, my magic power is low now, almost ordinary, and I can't even save my husband. What disaster can I solve?"

"The opportunity for the creation of your world seems to be somewhat special. I haven't figured it out yet, but I can be sure that although your magic power is low at the moment, you actually have infinite potential. It seems to be in line with one of the seven positive emotions of human heart, the word courage. If used well, it is enough to stir up the world. Let me see clearly what is going on in your three realms."

Su Hanshan paused for a moment and said, "Here is a unique skill derived from the Huashan Sanda Sword, called the Brave Sword Slashing the Heavenly Gang... Oh, it seems that you don't even have a decent magic sword with you now."

"Well, I have a set here, 'Ba Quan Shattering the Sky Gang', which is just right for you to learn!"
