I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 393 Eight Treasures Merit Sword

In the Dharma Realm, the negative will of the entire desert was like an overwhelming tidal wave, and the terrifying monsters from all directions were more powerful than the giant beetle demon from the previous night.

Nine-tailed scorpions, six-winged bats, groups of three-eyed sand wolves, colorful spiders as big as houses, lizards comparable to dinosaurs... Fire spirits surrounded by flames, comparable to small suns... Faceless Lost Demons, thousand-year-old mummies lurking in the yellow sand, with fire abilities almost comparable to those of the drought demon...

They all represent a certain part of the authority of the desert, and endow this "foreign demon" with the greatest malice.

But this small piece of five-colored glazed world is so truly "indestructible". It looks like a circle drawn by the Monkey King, or like the isolation of the underworld after Emperor Zhuanxu severed the connection between heaven and earth, and the rules set for demons and monsters: "No entry without permission."

In short, even in this world of the living, such a small temple can be regarded as Xu Jia’s “bright temple”.

The consciousness of Huogong Toudao and Shifang did not dare to move for a moment, but they heard a voice saying: "The power of the temple is limited. The light you see in the hall comes from the Dharma nature of the oasis energy. It is a glass lamp. The lamp is lit with oil to protect this place. When the oil is exhausted, the lamp will break, and these demons will devour your consciousness completely."

"Only by killing those demons can you obtain the Dharma Lamp Oil. If you can't defeat the powerful ones, you can defeat the weak ones."

Xu Jia said that was the case, and he was not afraid at all. He just took the two of them and made them do hard labor.

As they were struggling in the Dharma Realm, suddenly a Buddha's light shone in the distance, and then a huge golden body of Buddha appeared. Wherever the golden light shone, everything turned golden.

"The Land of Gold!"

The young monk Shifang murmured and looked over there.

Xu Jia also sensed this enormous Buddhist power in the present world, and had a vague feeling that there was a treasure there that actually had some connection with him.

Then he made a few calculations and found out that it was a Buddhist flying sword. Although it was called Buddhist, it was actually a "flying sword of earth". The sword was refined from the mud of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool. After the mud was refined by fire, it became the golden body of merit. When the golden body was melted and the sword was refined, it became the Eight Treasures Merit Sword.

This sword has merits and virtues. It cuts off karma instead of people, and killing is not subject to cause and effect karma. It is also related to Xu Jia’s “great wish for all living beings”.

Since we are destined to have it, we must take it and use it. Although this Yellow Sand Gu, which contains hundreds of poisons, can continue to be refined, it is ultimately just a toy.

Waiting for dawn, the Dharma Realm retreated, and the consciousness of the Fire Master returned to his body. Xu Jia ordered him to absorb the Qi of the Sun's True Fire, and then said, "You should practice the Sand Escape Technique well. In two days, we will go to the secret realm of the Buddha Kingdom."

"Two days later? I'm afraid there won't be a single hair left for us in two days."

"Since it is a Buddhist country, there will naturally be Buddhist tests. People who are not proficient in Buddhism and have no affinity with Buddha will naturally not get the opportunity. You really think that Buddhism is a charity. The cause and effect and fate here are more clear than you can calculate. I am afraid that after this time, Buddhism will flourish in the desert and the Buddhist country will be established again."

After hearing this, Huogong Tou Tuo felt his scalp tingling.

The young monk Shifang asked for his leave: "The abbot's place may be dangerous, so I won't stay for long."

However, he was frightened when Xu Jia captured him and forced him to do hard labor in the Dharma Realm.

Xu Jia could see through his thoughts and said, "Your master has pledged you to me. You will have to redeem yourself with something. If you want to leave, you must pay the ransom yourself, a set of sword techniques, or a method of sword-refining."

The young monk Shifang's face turned red. He had nothing but a stick at the height of his eyebrows on his body. His method of cultivation was also traditional Buddhist martial arts, which focused on external skills, starting from the outside and working towards the inside, slowly cultivating his innate abilities. There was no such thing as sword techniques or sword-making methods.

Seeing his embarrassment, Xu Jia said, "Well, go ahead."

Shifang uttered, "I will return you a copy of the sword manual." Then he picked up the stick and left.

The fire monk was curious: "Just let it go like that?" But he thought to himself: Why don't I ask too, maybe I will be released too?

Xu Jia said: "If you want, you can go with him. But you don't have a good master. I'm afraid you will die if you go."

The fire monk had no choice but to give up.

Xu Jia began to think: "That Eight Treasures Merit Sword is predestined for me. I'm afraid it is attracted by the so-called Yellow Lotus Sect's luck in my body. The Yellow Lotus Sect was passed down from the Yellow Heaven Sect and is the orthodox sect of the upper world... But even if he knows everything in the ten directions and has a thorough understanding of the three realms, he can't have predicted that this body is not the orthodox one."

This is like the fate of putting bait when fishing, so you have to be anxious, otherwise the bait will not be eaten but will be hooked. In the past two days, I have been teaching Huogong Toudao the art of sand escape during the day.

The fire monk practiced fire magic, but actually he had no natural talent for sand. But Xu Jia had his own way. He taught him to refine a grain of "red sand", which was cinnabar and fire sand. With this sand, he could transform fire escape into sand escape, which was nothing more than gathering and dispersing, changing yin and yang, and transforming the five elements.

He refined sand during the day and fought in the Dharma Realm at night. The aura of the Fire Monk gradually condensed, and the sword intent of the Dutian Fiery Sword became much more powerful.

This is the difference between being taught by a famous teacher and practicing alone.

So and so, Xu Jianai handed him the Dust-Repelling Pearl and said, "Go."

The fire monk looked confused: "You won't go with me?" Xu Jia: "When did I say I want to go with you? Naturally, you are going alone this time, but don't worry, you already have the capital to survive. After all, you, the descendant of the Dutian Liehuo Patriarch, will be needed to start the Huashan inheritance. Don't worry and go for it."

This time, it was Huogong Tou Tuo who was afraid: "How about I try again? Others need years or even decades to practice. Can my quick three-day method work? What if it doesn't work?"

Xu Jia didn't reply to him. Instead, he kicked him with all his strength, sending him flying several hundred feet away. He rolled eighteen times in the sand, then disappeared into the sand into the distance.

After Xu Jia sent him away, he began to mold clay figures and sculpted a statue of himself in this small glazed temple.

As for other things, there is nothing, except that when I led the water that day and gained some faith, and led them into this place, there were faint "divine changes", and the image of a Taoist in a yellow robe, holding a unicorn staff in his hand, standing on a yellow lotus appeared.

"Appoint him as the chief land administrator of the Northwest Desert Oasis!"

Xu Jia cut out this part, deified this living person with flesh and blood, and used the inner scene to provide for the outer gods. This was exactly the wrong path he had taken in his previous life. Now that he was operating it, there was no sense of peacekeeping at all.

"Great, great, great!"

With the help of this temple, Xu Jia was finally connected to his true body and could return at any time. It was considered a guarantee, so he opened a teleportation point.

With this clay sculpture, Xu Jia's consciousness can finally be freed from this mortal body.

The next moment, the Taoist's pupils in yellow robe flipped and the strange phenomenon in his pupils disappeared. Instead, the golden clay statue in the Glazed Temple revealed the consciousness of divine light.

The Taoist in yellow robe was stunned just now, as if he had lost some memory. How did he suddenly get here?

Suddenly he felt more true energy in his body and a flying sword. He was so overjoyed that he didn't notice the strange light emitted by the statue in front of him, which confused his mind.

"It turns out that I am the leader of the Yellow Lotus Sect, practicing the Thick Earth True Method. In my previous life, I was the third prince of a small king in a Buddhist country. I left the country because I was dissatisfied with the whole country believing in Buddhism. When I came back, the whole country was buried in yellow sand..."

Seeing this, the Taoist priest in yellow robe stared at him, "It must be the Buddhist sect causing trouble!"

He immediately left the glazed temple and flew towards the secret land of Buddhism.

This time Xu Jia was truly alone, and it was his first time to formally experience "Shinto", becoming a clay doll made by himself.

He immediately immersed himself in the Dharma Realm and truly saw the scene: yellow sand filled the sky, fire condensed in the void, and heavy heat waves, comparable to the Flaming Mountain.

"It's difficult for them. This world's Dharma Realm has not been used to a great extent. The native demon gods and the corresponding laws of the Yang World are all very crude. It seems that the ancestor Tianshi set up the scene before the Zhengyi oath. These sand demons, wind demons, and fire demons are all demon kings of the Six Heavenly Demons."

Although Xujia's land has now become an oasis, his authority and position are only that of a "second-class underground landlord". He does not have the overall control of an entire village and the area is only about five acres.

"By killing monsters and expanding the realm of the law, I can bring with me the rules that can change reality and expand the area of ​​the oasis until I can attract caravans and resident creatures to perform sacrifices for me and maintain their faith. Then I can descend to this world more often without having to rush so much."

The flying sword technology here is simple and effective, but few people have mastered the real core technology. If you really want to explore it in depth, it may take ten or eight years to achieve anything.

……

On the other side, Fire Monk brought the Dust-Repelling Beads and entered the Buddha's Kingdom. Although from the perspective of the Dharma Realm, the Buddha's light illuminated everything gold, and it was a golden kingdom, but when he got closer, he found that there was nothing special except that it became increasingly hot.

Then he used sand escape to avoid several unorthodox ways of the desert who were trying to join in the fun.

He was secretly proud of himself: "I used to be just a third-rate swordsman like you guys, but now I have become a second-rate one. I am definitely different from a phoenix and a chicken."

However, he no longer looks down upon his former bad friends.

After he had dodged around for a while, he saw a huge stone gate. He knew it was the entrance to the Buddhist kingdom, so he slipped in through the crack in the gate.

The next moment, the sky was spinning and the earth was shaking. There were yellow sand, skeletons, mummies wearing monk robes, and a large number of monsters, which was comparable to the situation in the Dharma Realm in the past few days.

Several sword masters were cleaning up these things, but they were not very powerful. After killing the mummies, they started to dig around on them, trying to find some relics or something like that.

One of them got a relic, and was immediately envied by the others. They were afraid that they would not be able to take it out, so they swallowed it directly.

The sword cultivator who swallowed the relic immediately increased his cultivation, but his aura was mixed, and there was Buddha's energy mixed in his magic power.

After being reminded by Xu Jia, Huogong Tou Tuo naturally knew that these were not good things. He sneered and continued to squeeze in.
