I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 597 Damage
The vegetation in the courtyard was more lush than in other places, and it didn't look like it was suffering from drought at all. Therefore, even though it was already May, one didn't feel hot when sitting in the courtyard.

The master with half black and half white hair sighed, then picked up his bowl and started eating wild vegetables.

After eating the wild vegetables, the Buddha of Killing suddenly turned to the boy and said, "In fact, you can still eat your fill without going south."

The young boy looked at the Killing Buddha with bright eyes. He had been precocious since childhood and could do anything to get food and feed his sister. If he had not known that the two masters he met were not ordinary people, he would have abandoned them and fled to the south with his sister.

"any solution?"

"kill."

The Buddha of Killing said this succinctly.

The master raised his head and looked at the Buddha of Killing, waiting for the other party's next words.

When the young man heard the word "murder", he was not surprised, but felt inexplicably excited. He touched the "arrow" on his waist. It was a piece of snow-white bone, similar to a human arm bone. He picked it up in the mountains when he was herding cattle. From then on, he learned archery without a teacher. Moreover, this arrow would return to him by itself. Later, when he was fleeing from famine, he met his two masters.

In the past few months, they did not teach me any methods of cultivation, but only taught me the principles of reading and writing.

The boy knew from a young age that there is no free lunch in the world. His two masters had great supernatural powers but were unwilling to teach him. Now that the second master asked him to kill someone, he would definitely teach him how to kill.

"Kill who?"

The boy asked with a slightly hoarse voice.

The master suddenly frowned and interrupted, "Don't you think this monk is a heretic? Killing people for food, how can this be justified in this world?"

For the first time, the boy refuted his master, "Master, you have great magical powers, so you don't understand the principle of killing people for food. But last winter, before I met you, my sister and I were fleeing from famine. On the road, a thief wanted to kill us and cooked us in a pot to eat."

After listening to this, the master remained silent. He really didn't understand this principle. He was born an alien species. He stood at the top of the food chain since birth and was worshipped by the world. Then he traveled with the Taoist Master. For them, eating was not something they had to worry about.

Finally, the master asked, "Do you want to be a thief in the future?"

The young man said without hesitation, "Master, why are you confused now? Didn't you tell us before that saints are the biggest thieves in the world? Although I don't fully understand what you and Second Master have said recently, I also know that Zhou Tianzun in the south has stopped all the food in the world from being transported to our northwest, so people here can only eat dirt or eat humans. Only under his rule can we become human beings again. He is the biggest thief in the world that you mentioned before!"

The Buddha of Killing suddenly smiled and said, "That's the truth."

When the young man saw that the Buddha of Killing had responded to his words again, he knew that the opportunity to change his life had come. In the past few months, he had secretly wanted to seek Dharma but had never found a chance. Today, the taciturn second master spoke more than the first master, and also talked about the opportunity to kill for a meal. This was also his opportunity.

In fact, the boy really didn’t care about the great principles that the two masters talked about. They were too far away from him.

What he cared about was that now he couldn't even eat wild vegetable porridge, so he had to make a decision. Either the two masters would not teach him the Dharma, and he would flee with his sister and the roe deer meat, or he would learn the Dharma from one of the two masters. Even in this chaotic world, he would be able to eat meat and vegetables as they pleased!

So the boy looked at the Buddha of Killing and said bluntly, "Who does the teacher want me to kill?"

The Killing Buddha looked further west and said, "The world is a place where the weak are preyed upon by the strong. Since we kill to eat, we should only kill those who are weaker than ourselves. How can we kill those who are stronger than ourselves? From the Kyushu land to the west, across thousands of miles of yellow sand, there are hundreds of barbarians. Their water sources do not come from the East China Sea, so this drought has little impact on them. Kill their kings and gods, seize their land and people, and not only will you have enough to eat, but all the people in the entire Kyushu land will also have enough to eat."

Xuanwu was still wondering whether the Buddha of Killing wanted this young man with a special fate to go to the battlefield of Daxia. Upon hearing this, he became furious and hammered the bowl on the table.

"Monk!"

The Hundred Barbarian Countries have always been the territory of the Yuanmeng God System. There are three ways to enter the Hundred Barbarian Countries. One is the way taken by Yu Monk, which goes forward from the northern Great Wall and enters from Miaoshan City.

One is Yuanmeng's road, which goes west from the Great Tent Divine Court, passes through the Five-Colored River, and enters from the Colorful Pool City.

The third route is to go northeast from Huangzhou in Daxia, cross the Hanhai Desert, and enter from the Kingdom of Amitabha.

However, no one takes this last road except for ascetic monks, because even soldiers who practice martial arts need to ensure food and water supply when marching. The vast desert is full of raging sand and many natural dangers, making it difficult for ordinary soldiers to advance. Therefore, neither Daxia nor the barbarian countries have set up heavy defenses.

But the times are different now. The mantra of Maitreya Buddha turns people into natives. Since they are natives, entering the sea of ​​sand is like entering fish in water.

The Lord of Killing Buddha said that he was thinking of a way, and it was not false talk. He really thought of this method, but he had to wait until the first batch of soldiers completed their physical transformation. At the same time, he also had to convince the man in front of him, Yuan Meng, the sub-sage, the Northern Xuanwu!

The great god Xuanwu was furious. He knew that the monk in front of him was bold, but he didn't expect that he was so bold as to plot against hundreds of barbarians and nations in front of him!
The Killing Buddha suddenly asked, "I am not the only one eyeing the piece of meat of the Barbarian Hundred Nations. Zhou Qinlong, the father of Zhou Tieyi, has seized Miaoshan City for more than half a year. If he is preparing for war, he should be ready."

"He didn't dare to act rashly before because he was not sure whether the Great Xia court would support him. After all, even if he conquered the city and the country, he would not be able to defend against Yuan Meng's attack if he did not have a first-class force to guard it. But now, he has a son who is about to become a saint. What do you think Zhou Qinlong will do?"

The question from the Buddha of Killing left the Great God Xuanwu unable to answer.

Zhou Qinlong captured Miaoshan City and used the relics of Monk Yu as a defensive barrier. Yuan Meng was able to break it, but to do so he would have to mobilize his resources and even help Daxia push the battlefield to the hundreds of barbarian nations instead of the Great Wall. In addition, Zhou Qinlong had a special identity. He was not only a third-rank official, but also the husband of the Taoist sub-sage and the father of the ancient gods. Therefore, Yuan Meng gritted his teeth and watched him seize the city.

But today's issue of killing the Buddha exposed a fact. What if Zhou Qinlong's idea was not just about one city?

However, Xuanwu would not be easily persuaded by the Killing Buddha. "Can we just sit back and watch your Buddhism swallow up hundreds of countries?" The Killing Buddha asked again, "You are a species from heaven and earth, born with incredible supernatural powers. In your eyes, people are just like a group of ants. Would you fight for one ant country against another? I would!"

The Buddha of Killing put his palms together, stood up, closed his eyes and said nothing. The Buddhist certificate of breaking precepts on his back reflected a blood mark, aiming at Xuanwu's forehead.

The sneer on Xuanwu's face did not diminish. He had lived for tens of thousands of years and was not someone who was frightened.

The little girl saw the two masters suddenly getting on edge, and quickly pulled the Killing Buddha who had stood up, "Two masters, please talk it out, why are you arguing?"

The Buddha of Killing had not thought about really fighting Xuanwu here. He sat down and continued, "You didn't rely on Yuanmeng's offerings in the past. If you are willing to stand aside and watch this time, Buddhism will give you a high position. At the same time, the Thirty-three Heavens War is imminent. At that time, I am willing to persuade the Netherworld Equality King to help you seize the Tai Chi Yin-Yang Bracelet with all his strength. That is your way, and the barbarians and the Hundred Nations are not like that!"

The Buddha of Killing gave the most critical condition.

Zhou Tieyi's Tai Chi Yin-Yang Bracelet is the hope for enlightenment that Xuanwu has been seeking for many years. And the cooperation of the Lord of Killing, the descendant of the Buddha who broke the Buddhist precepts, and the sub-sage King of the Netherworld, is indeed an offer that cannot be refused.

After saying this, the Buddha of Killing stopped trying to persuade Xuanwu, as he had already said everything he needed to say.

The Buddha of Killing turned to look at the young man and said, "Take out the arrow from your waist."

The young man was determined to practice and eat meat. He didn't care about Xuanwu at all. He took out the bone arrow from his waist, and the Buddha of Killing reached out and touched the bone arrow.

I saw dragon emblems rising from the white bone arrows, turning into five colors and forming an imperial bow. This bow was extremely mysterious, emitting five-colored light, and for a moment it was even more dazzling than the sun in the sky.

This was also the first time that the Buddha of Killing had demonstrated his abilities in front of the boy. The boy was surprised by his abilities and subconsciously asked, "Master, what is this?"

The Killing Buddha smiled and said, "This is the [Five Emperors Bow] method. On that day, Zhou Tianzun used this method and used the bones of the White Emperor as an arrow. He shot an arrow through the Great Illusionary Realm, which responded to the war in the northwest. Now this great fortune will befall you, so whether it is the [Five Emperors Bow] or the White Emperor Arrow, you can learn it."

Xuanwu, who had been silent the whole time, was surprised for the first time when he saw this scene. He frowned and looked at the manifested [Five Emperors Bow] method, "Has he contacted you?"

Zhou Tieyi's current level of Taoism is unfathomable. [Five Emperors Bow] is his method. Logically speaking, without Zhou Tieyi's permission, even he, a sub-sage, would not be able to learn the method of [Five Emperors Bow], because that is the continuation of Zhou Tieyi's Taoist lineage. How could the Buddha of Killing make the Taoist lineage of that day manifest directly with just one click?

The Buddha of Killing did not say anything, but continued to teach the Dharma to the young man.

Thousands of miles away from here, in the Six-Ring Mechanical City, a huge tree of flesh and blood towers up to the sky and thrives in the entire mountain. However, this tree not only has the texture of flesh and blood, but also the beauty of mechanical changes. Each tree pattern is like the most sophisticated energy transmission conduit. Thousands of dragon seals rotate like gears, drawing energy from the void and the earth veins, and transmitting it to the treetops, making each ginseng fruit more mysterious. Changes also appear on each leaf, producing mysterious scriptures. These are all obtained through the mutual interpretation of dragon seals and imaginary numbers. They are human interpretation of the way of the universe. If placed outside, they are all at least mid-level practice methods.

After absorbing the remains of the five first-rank Mohists and Gongshujia's tree of imaginary numbers, Taodu Weng completed his essential transformation. However, in order to conceal his identity, he used the disguise of imaginary numbers themselves and did not show it to the world.

Under the tree, Zhou Tieyi, Gongshu Ting, and Xu Wugui were contemplating the towering tree in front of them. Gongshu Ting smiled confidently and said, "With this tree, even if they have someone to slaughter the Taoist sect, it doesn't matter. In the end, they will still make things easier for us!"

Zhou Tieyi laughed when he heard this, "Teacher, this flag cannot be planted."

After working with Zhou Tieyi for so long, Gongshu Ting has gradually gotten used to some of Zhou Tieyi's strange words and can understand what they mean.

He looked at the tree and asked, "Do you have a hunch?"

Zhou Tieyi also looked at the tree and suddenly said, "My day of losing the Dao is approaching."

Gongshu Ting and Xu Wugui were furious. Xu Wugui looked at Zhou Tieyi and said, "Why would you insult the Tao?!"

Zhou Tieyi smiled and replied, "Since I want to ascend to the holy path, I will naturally damage the path. I am not immune to this."

Gongshu Ting frowned and asked, "Can't you control yourself?"

This is the most critical issue.

Logically speaking, even if the first-rank officials have seen the path to the holy way, they can control the time when they damage their way. This is true for Father Tian and the Emperor of Daxia.

The current situation is at the most critical moment. The damage at this time is a hundred times more dangerous than that suffered by the Emperor of Great Xia!
Zhou Tieyi said, "My way of losing is different from others."

There was no need for him to hide anything at this time. He stretched out his hand in front of him, and a gorgeous starry sky image appeared in front of him. Under this starry sky, mountains and rivers grew, the sun and the moon rose, and spiritual beings thrived, just like lives about to break out of their shells.

Zhou Tieyi continued, "I follow the innate divine way. My body transforms into heaven and earth, giving birth to all gods. My practice has always been the interaction between the inner and outer heaven and earth, so I don't have to sit for a hundred years like a mountain Taoist priest. As long as the world prospers because of my way, the heaven and earth in my body will be rewarded and develop on its own. My Taoism will also rise with the tide, just like a mother nurturing a fetus. When all gods are born, it is the time when I damage my Taoism. This is something that cannot be controlled. Of course, for me, this is a good thing, but also a danger."

Now the Great Xia court has tacitly accepted Zhou Tieyi's Five Immortals' Taoist tradition, and even tacitly accepted the merger of immortals and gods, allowing Zhou Tieyi to quickly complete a step that he originally thought was full of difficulties.

At that time, the Emperor of Daxia abolished the Taoist tradition of the Five Emperors, causing him to suffer Taoist injuries and stagnate his Taoist practice. However, he found the Taoist tradition of the Five Immortals and transformed the luck of the Five Emperors into the Five Immortals. Now the Five Immortals have spread in Daxia, and his Taoist injuries naturally healed. Later, he conferred pardon on all Taiyi in the world, completing the merger of immortals and gods in a real sense. The court did not substantially prevent this process, so Zhou Tieyi realized something.

At that time, the Emperor of Great Xia abolished the Taoist tradition of the Five Emperors and also tried to find out what he was practicing, so he did not stop the merger of immortals and gods this time.

Because he was one step ahead of himself in losing his Dao, the more powerful Da Xia becomes, the more powerful both he and himself will become. However, he is always one step ahead of himself. He is betting on the day when he will lose his Dao!
