The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

Just a few years ago, Deng Bagu followed Shi Feiyang's instructions and transported water from the South China Sea to the Tarim Basin to bring rainfall.

This process sounds simple, but in fact the two places are far apart, and there are countless mountains and glaciers in between. The climate changes are quite complicated. Not only does it consume a lot of mana, but the transported water vapor can easily evaporate and dissipate along the way, or turn into rain or hail and fall to the ground prematurely.

Deng Bagu's Taoism and magical powers are not as good as Shi Feiyang's. She cannot do it by her own strength and needs to borrow the magic weapon Snow Soul Pearl to complete it.

Ji Fan practiced in the Qilian Mountains all year round, and occasionally went to the Tianshan Mountains to pick thousand-year-old snow lotus. When he saw the Snow Soul Orb that was refined by the elite of ice and snow for billions of years, he was immediately moved!

Deng Bagu's Snow Soul Orb was originally a treasure. After she refined it with the Ice Soul Divine Light, it became even more magical and extraordinary. Looking from a distance, there was a bright and dazzling cold light in the center, and colorful light outside, which restrained the water vapor clouds that stretched for thousands of miles and flew rapidly from south to north. The momentum stunned Ji Fan on the spot.

This guy was so greedy that he ambushed in the clouds with the intention of snatching it.

Deng Bagu's nickname was the Female Disaster Goddess, so she was not someone to be trifled with. They started fighting on the spot, and in half a day's time, Ji Fan's spells and magic weapons were broken one after another by Deng Bagu. If it weren't for the powerful sky blue magic sand, he would have been defeated, his Nascent Soul would have dispersed, and he would have returned to being a ghost immortal again.

Today he discovered that some of Shi Feiyang's techniques were similar to those of Deng Bagu. After asking, he found out that he was his enemy's master. No wonder he was so powerful!
Shi Feiyang was originally worried that he was friends with Deng Bagu, so he silently calculated in his mind. The hexagram showed that the two sides had a feud, so he calmed down and told him to get out of here quickly: "Don't come again!"

Ji Fan was annoyed. If he had known that he was the master of the vicious woman in black, he would not have dared to come even if he was beaten to death. Now, not only did he not get any benefits, but even his most powerful sky blue magic sand was taken away.

Xuan Shu came over to comfort him. He complained in his tone. Xuan Shu was dissatisfied, but his face was still very friendly: "This matter is not related to me alone, and fellow Taoist is not helping me alone..."

Ji Fan said angrily: "It has come to this, what's the point of you still saying these things? Think carefully about how to help me get the magic weapon back!"

He had already made up his mind that if he really couldn't get them back, he would find a way to kill Xuan Shu and take her two pearls as compensation.

Xuan Shu sensed his dissatisfaction and murderous intentions, so he said, "This matter is of great importance. I am going to Xiaohan Mountain to see the Divine Nun Master Ren and ask her for instructions. If you still want to take back the magic weapon, you can go with me and see what Master Ren has to say."

Ji Fan was delighted when he heard this: "If Master Ren can take action himself, it will be a piece of cake to subdue the demon!"

The two of them immediately rushed to Xiaohan Mountain.

However, Master Ren was devoted to pure cultivation and had always practiced Taoism alone. She did not have a master, but she comprehended Buddhism on her own, took Buddha as her teacher, and cultivated supreme supernatural powers. She also set up a large horizontal beam at the entrance of the temple, intending to realize the truth about all sentient beings, otherwise she would never be born.

Ever since the two girls from Xiandu inadvertently helped her push the bar away with tears out of their true nature, she has comprehended the "state of no self", and has achieved perfection in the principles of Buddhism. Among the four doors of faith, understanding, practice and realization, faith and understanding are complete, but practice and realization are still lacking.

She believed that she had already attained Nirvana with remainder, and that she would no longer create new causes in this life. She only needed to repay the causes and effects of past lives. She would be able to achieve enlightenment in this life, and when her life ended, she would directly attain Nirvana.

Therefore, she had the confidence to tell the two girls from Xiandu that their worshipping her was equivalent to worshipping Buddha, because the two girls from Xiandu had a close relationship with her in her past life, and her own cultivation was indeed extremely high.

She had planned her future well. The most important "previous causes" in her past life were Xie Shan and the two girls from Xiandu, as well as Ye Bin, a close friend from her past life. If nothing unexpected happened, Xie Shan and Ye Bin would practice Buddhism and be pure and free, and the two girls from Xiandu would worship her as their teacher, and they would also be able to achieve success in the future after she passed away.

However, the two girls from Xiandu got involved in Shi Feiyang, which led to many subsequent stories that Xie Shan and Ye Bin were unable to handle. After Xie Shan recovered his past memories, he asked the two girls to come to Xiaohan Mountain for help and broke the crossbar of the door. Master Ren used his wisdom to see the cause and effect of the two girls, and was very worried afterwards.

She is different from Zen Master Tianmeng. Zen Master Tianmeng focuses most of his energy on Xie Shan. Zen Master Tianmeng also does not want to create new causes but only resolve old consequences. The person with whom he has the deepest connection is Xie Shan, so he focuses most of his energy on Xie Shan. The two women in Xiandu have far more bad karma than Xie Shan.

Over the years, Master Ren has also put a lot of effort into making the two girls in Xiandu practice well and not create new karma...

People in the world fear the consequences, while Bodhisattvas fear the causes. Buddhism believes that people in the world do not care when they do evil, and will only feel afraid when they receive retribution. Bodhisattvas, on the other hand, know the consequences when they do things. She instructs the two girls to find the children that Yue Qinbin killed that year, one by one, and convert them.

If we can introduce them to Buddhism and help them practice the correct Dharma, they will realize that all things are impermanent and that all sufferings are caused by defilements. In this way, they can turn bad things into good and accumulate more merits.

However, among the two girls, Xie Ying has a good character, but Xie Lin is much worse. She acts impulsively and has created many new causes in recent years.

But overall, it's getting better.

Because her Xiaohan Mountain does not allow outsiders, it is usually closed off from outsiders within a radius of 100 miles through Buddhism. Ordinary people cannot see this place. Even if practitioners know the location, they cannot go any further once they walk nearby.

When Xuan Shu and Ji Fan arrived near Xiaohan Mountain, they knelt on the ground and prayed sincerely, asking to go in and see the senior ninja master.

After praying for a while, there was no response. Suddenly, a tiger ran down the mountain, roared at the two men, and then turned away. The two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Xuanshu said: "Master Ren once made a great vow in front of the Buddha, vowing to achieve the highest merits, perform boundless good deeds, and never kill a single creature. Even if she met a vicious person, she would convert him with compassion and wisdom. Although she has the supreme power to subdue dragons and tigers, she only uses it to save the world. She has been in seclusion here for more than 300 years. All the poisonous snakes and fierce beasts on the mountain, wolves, snakes, tigers and leopards, have all been influenced by her Buddhist teachings and have become vegetarians and no longer kill. They always go up the mountain to listen to the master's lectures, waiting for the end of their lives to be reborn as a human. Their temperaments have become very docile. Why is this tiger roaring at us so ferociously, as if it wants to eat us?"

Ji Fan said, "Could it be that this tiger saw that we were immortals who had cultivated from ghosts, and regarded us as ghosts? Or does it want us to be its ghost accomplices?"

"Absolutely impossible." Xuan Shu shook his head. "The tiger in front of the Bodhisattva's door must also be a Bodhisattva. Their wisdom and power may vary, but their intentions are the same. This tiger has absolutely no ill will towards us. It seems that it wants to tell us something in this way."

Ji Fan was a little impatient: "It's just a beast, what can it tell us?"

"Master Ren must have told him to do this." Xuan Shu judged, "Tiger, tiger, the tiger comes down from the mountain to choose someone to devour. Could it be that Master Ren is going to come out of the mountain to deal with that guy named Shi himself?"

Ji Fan snorted coldly: "If she wants to come out, she can just come out directly. Why does she need to play such a mystery with us?"

"Then... there is also the idea of ​​luring the tiger away from the mountain? Could it be that Master Ren wants us to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

Ji Fan thought for a moment and said, "The one with the surname Shi is Hu. Master Ren asked us to transfer him away so that we can go to the Holy Mausoleum to get the treasure?"

"That must be the case, but how can we transfer them? Even if we transfer them, who can go and get the treasure?"

The two thought about it for a long time but had no clue. They usually practiced alone and had basically no social interactions. At this time, they couldn't even find a friend.

As for Shi Feiyang, he knew that he had come to Qiaoshan in advance to occupy the holy mausoleum, so he would naturally face continuous harassment. It was expected that someone would come, and there would be more later.

He was prepared to stay here till death and deal with all kinds of changes with the same attitude.

As the days passed, he built the railings on both sides of the stairs, cast the statues of 108 kinds of wild beasts with hardware, and stood in pairs on the left and right. He arranged the entire mountain protection formation, and finally paid homage to the Yellow Emperor and Guangchengzi again.

Later, people kept coming to spy nearby, some were from orthodox religions, some were from evil cults, young and old, monks and Taoists. Some looked down from the clouds, some looked out from the nearby hills, some just looked and left, and some would take a long time to calculate. By the second year, this situation was becoming more and more frequent.

On this day, a young Taoist priest flew over on a sword in a panic. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he knelt down on his knees and prayed: "Junior Qingcheng Sect disciple Jiang Xiaotie wishes to see Master Shi!"

Shi Feiyang was practicing in a building on the mountain, and someone sent a voice transmission to ask him what was the matter.

Jiang Xiaotie said, "I am a disciple of the Baqiao Temple in the east of Xi'an. The abbot accidentally got a precious pearl some time ago. Today, the four evil gods from the Yangjiaoling of Bok Daban in Tianshan came and asked us to give up the precious pearl Taoist temple, saying that they wanted to occupy it to open a Taoist temple and teach disciples. We naturally refused, and the two sides fought. The four men had great magical powers and released a large amount of black flames to cover the entire temple. They threatened to turn us and the temple into ashes if we did not surrender.

Taoist friends from the Snow Mountain Sect of Zaohe Palace in the west of the city came to rescue us. We fought many times from inside and outside, but we couldn't break the evil magic of the demon. Finally, thanks to the passing of Elder Yuan from Qingmiao Forest of Huanglong Mountain in Shanxi, he broke a corner of the fire array and I took the opportunity to rush out. Elder Yuan pointed out to me that you are now practicing in this Qiaoshan Mountain, so I came to you for help. I beg you to go to Baqiao Temple quickly for the sake of our relationship, and use some magic to save my master and fellow disciples!" After saying this, he kept kowtowing and begging.

Shi Feiyang had already deduced the secret in the building. This man was indeed a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect, and was none other than the reincarnation of the Taoist Iron Umbrella. He was sent to be reborn by Jiang Shu and was accepted as a disciple in his second life. He was very smart and motivated. Although he was not very old, he had already mastered the immortal arts quite well. He was sent by Jiang Shu to the Baqiao Temple in Xi'an for training.

The people are real, the events are real, and the situation is indeed extremely urgent.

But Shi Feiyang knew that the ape elder was hiding nearby, waiting for him to leave, and then he would break in...

In addition, the hexagram shows that the four guys from Yangjiaoling were also instigated by this ape elder.

Continuing to calculate, the precious pearl of the abbot of Baqiao Temple was also sold to Elder Yuan by Zong De, his disciple.

This was a trap set by Elder Ape to lure him away so that he could enter the Holy Mausoleum.

However, the immortal formation inside the holy mausoleum had not disappeared at this time, and it was impossible to enter the underground palace. Even if I entered, I could not get the treasure, otherwise I would have entered long ago. What was the use of this monkey-headed man transferring me away?
He continued to trace the source and deduced that it turned out that someone had told him that a treasure was about to be unveiled in the holy mausoleum, and had come up with this plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, in order to use him to lure himself away.

Wow, there are so many layers of layout. If I weren’t proficient in numerology, I wouldn’t have figured it out! (End of this chapter)
