Chapter 575 Stranger
The Heart Sutra of the Five Aggregates of Transmutation

Song Ji looked at the Buddhist scripture he had won in the lottery. The name looked impressive, but it didn’t feel like the essence of Buddhism.

Of course, he had never seen any cultivation techniques, but he had the impression that the Buddhist scriptures should be named something like Lotus Sutra or Shurangama Sutra. Then he thought, this was in a game, and perhaps the name was given by the planner himself.

But Song Ji didn't dare to really treat this place as a game. Anyone who believed it was a fool. Others came here to play games, but he felt like he was here to be played by the game.

Holding the scripture in his hand, this was the method he extracted. Song Ji looked at the cover of the book with some curiosity. There were only simple words and a light blue cover.

"How do I learn this? Do I tap it and it becomes a skill or do I tear it apart and absorb it into this game body?"

He fiddled with it for a while, but seeing no response, he was stunned for a moment. With a flick of his finger, the book was gently opened, revealing a title page with only a few lines of words on it.

Song Ji swallowed his saliva. Is it okay? You won't let me learn from scratch, right?
"The five aggregates are form, feeling, perception, volition and consciousness. The five sense organs are eyes, ears, nose, tongue and mouth. They are only the mind."

Song Ji was confused by the opening few sentences. He continued to flip through the pages, reading word by word before closing the book and letting out a long sigh.

This is a method of consciousness-only thinking, which aims to condense thoughts, cultivate the five aggregates and six senses, and then use one's own perception to distort the world. As the saying goes, it is not the flag that moves, but the heart. The heart gives rise to thoughts, thoughts give rise to consciousness, and consciousness gives rise to wind.

Treat all matter as a collection of thoughts, ideas, and cognition. For example, a stone has all the properties and forms of a stone just because sentient beings think it is a stone. If this cognition is distorted, the stone will naturally have other forms, such as a stone giant, or other properties will be added to it, turning it into a meteorite.

This was contrary to the materialistic ideas formed by Song Ji's education, but he felt that it made some sense. Unconsciously, his thoughts, ideas, and cognition were transformed, distorted, and integrated by the Heart Sutra into another form, and he was unaware of it.

[I have read the Heart Sutra of the Five Aggregates of Paramita-samyak-sambodhisattva and learned the Yogacara school]

[The Consciousness-Only Method has been learned, and attributeless spiritual power has been detected and is being transformed...]

【Consciousness-Only Dharma (Level 1): The Dharma of Supreme Goodness, which can gather the power of Buddhism and cultivate the golden body.
Attributes: Refine your bones, improve your understanding, and have hope for the great path.]

A few lines of words jumped out in front of Song Ji's eyes, which scared him. After he saw them clearly, he was happy, but then doubts arose in his mind.

After browsing the forum, he found that someone had posted the prizes for the public beta lottery. Looking at the people shouting and calling their friends, Song Ji even felt like he was still making money in his previous life, instead of in another cyber world.

"How come... these people are so receptive? This is clearly a cyber world dominated by technology, but they accept concepts like immortals and Buddhas so smoothly."

A thought came to my mind, and then quickly disappeared, as if it had never existed.

"I have to level up as soon as possible. I can't get much information right now. It seems that I have to reach a certain node first and get to at least level 100. Maybe there will be some changes."

Song Ji looked at his panel. He was only level eight, which was the Qi training stage. He was still a long way from reaching level 100 and becoming an immortal. But he was not in a hurry. Although his consciousness was in the game, his real body was immersed in meditation, so he did not delay either.

Moreover, the time ratio between the game world and the real world reached 1:100. Although it was not clear how the stars did it, as a master, Song Ji had a strong receptive ability and an even stronger heart. Then he went to level up excitedly. In addition to completing tasks to gain experience points, there are two main ways to increase the level. One is to practice the skills, which is commonly known as hanging up, and the other is to kill monsters.

This made Song Ji, who was unwilling to use his brain, feel particularly at ease. He was determined to become the fourth disaster who regarded killing an entire family as more important than anything else.

"Monsters, here I come!"

Song Ji left the Novice Village and devoted himself to leveling up. Less than half an hour later, he died. If there had been no experience penalty before level 30, he would have dropped to level 7 by now.

"Shit, why can't I even beat a level 5 fire bat? Also, how come they are so smart? Where's their aggro range? Why did all of them come after I just killed one?"

Song Ji thought with a bitter face. After he understood the basic information, he suddenly discovered that this so-called "Gate of Eternal Life" was almost exactly the same as the world of cultivation in "Gate of All Living Beings" in his previous life.

It's just that the cultivation world in the previous life was a new server that appeared after various hidden clues were dug out, and the time was later than the Cyber ​​World server. However, this "Gate of Eternal Life" was launched as a game in the Cyber ​​World. The two were running in parallel, which also gave the strategy in his mind a place to use.

The Fire Bat Cave outside the Novice Village is known as a holy place for leveling in the early stages. It has a large number of monsters, high experience, low damage, and is also photophobic. Because of the existence of the hatred range, it is extremely easy to pull monsters. As long as there are not too many monsters attracted, basically one can kill them with one stick. It is considered a leveling method in the previous life's strategy that does not contain any bugs.

When the cultivation server was launched, Song Ji was already a cyborg on the path to mechanical ascension, but as a gold farmer, he was also familiar with this kind of strategy information.

But when Song Ji walked around the Novice Village, he finally found a very familiar and friendly dark cave entrance in the corner. Just as he threw a stone to ask for directions and wanted to lure out a few monsters to test his skills, he saw countless pairs of red eyes lit up in the cave, and then flames rushed out of the cave like a black whirlwind. Even if one person bit him, Song Ji's blood volume would not be able to hold on, and he could only die in the northwest and start over.

"It seems that the strategies from my previous life are unreliable. In my previous life, I played a game with game mechanics. Although this Gate of Eternal Life is also called a game, I still don't know what the hell it is. I must treat this place as a real world, otherwise I will fall flat on my face in the future."

Song Ji had a normal IQ and figured it out quickly. According to his observation, the fire bats still had the photophobia, but when their numbers were large, the bats on the upper level were enough to block the direct sunlight. Moreover, he looked carefully and found that the fire bats on the upper level were a little listless and had almost no desire to attack. Only the fire bats on the lower level were the main attackers, and Song Ji was bitten to death by them.

"Alas, I can only level up honestly and down to earth. No shortcuts are allowed!" Song Ji glanced at the direction of the Fire Bat Cave with hatred. I will remember this grudge. When I reach a higher level, I will exterminate all ten of your clans and kill your entire family!
As soon as he left the village, Song Ji saw a figure standing next to the stone tablet at the entrance of the village. Seeing someone coming out, the figure withdrew his gaze from the stone tablet and looked at Song Ji.

"My dear friend, you are polite. I am the Taoist of Qingfengguan Mingzhao. I am honored to meet you."

Song Ji looked at him, and it turned out to be an old Taoist priest with a celestial appearance and a sword on his back. He suppressed the urge to throw a game with the bonus of identification skills, and bowed with a smile on his face: "It turns out to be Taoist Mingzhao. I am Song Ji. I wonder what can I do for you?"

Ming Zhao said cheerfully: "To be honest, I came from the east and have something to ask you, my friend."

East? The Fire Bat Cave is to the east. Could it be...

Song Ji was thinking when Ming Zhao said the rest of his words: "It's strange, I clearly saw you die, but you resurrected in this village. May I ask, are you the immortal stranger?"
