I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 626 The Will of the Emperor of Life and Death

The moment Li Jianhu took out the scroll, a breath gushed out from the scroll, and this energy circulated between the eight directions of heaven and earth, just like the wind that was omnipresent and constantly moving in the world. With this energy in his hand, the world was no longer vast and boundless, but turned into a rope. He held one end, and the other end was connected to the other side, as if he only needed to take a light step to travel through the infinite universe.

Li Jianhu has heard people mention that this is the realm of the second level of the Miscellaneous School, "Xiao Yao You", with the "Qi" between heaven and earth as the door. As long as the Qi arrives, no matter how far away, one can reach it with a thought.

But even the realm of free and easy travel has its limits. For example, Li Jianhu is now holding the innate energy left by the old man in the mountains. He can feel that this energy is constantly searching for the origin.

Logically speaking, since they are connected by a Taoist tradition, even a hundred thousand miles or a million miles can be traced back to the source, let alone ten thousand miles. However, at this moment, the scroll of flowing Qi in his hand was like a child who couldn't find his home, spinning around anxiously, which made Li Jianhu look conflicted.

Huineng looked at the eighty-one pillars in front of him. Through the movements of the gods, he could only confirm the existence of the pillar where Hanba existed, but he had no idea which one the old man in the mountains had lost. More importantly, it was possible to block the origin of the second-grade Taoist tradition, which was definitely not something that the first-grade could do, because it involved blocking the mysterious realm of "the Great Way", which could only be done by a sub-sage or a saint.

Fortunately, Zhao Qinxin put this scroll in, on the one hand to find the second-rank clan elder, and on the other hand to pave the way for Zhou Tiege. Now the road has been paved, and only Huineng's key is needed to open it.

Huineng reached out and grabbed the scroll in Li Jianhu's hand, chanting, "The mind is vast, pervading the Dharma Realm, coming and going freely, the mind is unobstructed, that is Prajna."

A golden statue of an arhat suddenly stood up behind him. Although the golden statue was only light gold in color, it was eight feet tall!

This is a kind of natural phenomenon. With this phenomenon, it is almost certain that this practitioner will not die, and will at least be able to attain the realm of a first-grade Pratyekabuddha. In the past, Qinglian Temple did not publicize this matter at all, otherwise Huineng's name would have spread all over the country through novelists!

From this we can see that Qinglian Temple is indeed the most mysterious of the four holy places of Buddhism.

Huineng's Buddhist teachings were bestowed on the Happy Journey scroll. He did not go directly to find the old man in the mountains, but to look for another person who was now lost in a first-level dream.

At this time, the fourth Yama Palace in the dream was just as Huineng had expected. Deng Zhenquan integrated the will of the drought demon. He strangled the remaining three gods, but his own will began to spin out of control and was gradually eroded by the drought demon, making Deng Zhenquan more and more twisted and painful.

Deng Zhenquan's original idea was to integrate the will of heaven, completely kill the gods, and eliminate the beginning of the birth of Hanba. Naturally, he would be able to enter the complete second-grade realm of "making merit", and at least form an evenly matched tug of war with the dormant Hanba's will. At that time, he would use the novelist's arrangement as an opportunity to completely wipe out Hanba's will.

However, he encountered problems in this first step. Although he killed several gods of Shintoism and the God of Evil was also killed by Li Jianhu and Huineng, he still could not reach the realm of "making merit".

"You want to unite the will of heaven to accomplish meritorious service, but you are a 'key' in your own right. If you don't destroy this 'key', how can you eliminate the root of my awakening? Naturally, you can't accomplish your 'merit' either."

"Why don't you give me this dream body? I won't let my real body come out into the world. I will just walk the world with this body of yours."

The will of Hanba continued to erode Deng Zhenquan's mind.

But Deng Zhenquan also discovered something strange, that is, the will of Hanba is inherently contradictory.

Think about it too.

In the past, the emperors of Daxia sought immortality by using the bodies of the drought demon, but they certainly did not want to exist in the world as a half-human, half-ghost in the end. They must have had a plan to transform the bodies of the drought demon and become "human" again.

That is why they buried themselves in the Ten Yama Palaces, and the Ten Yama Palaces themselves have other seals.

For example, the First Yama Palace is topped by the Northern Great Wall, and the Fourth Yama Palace was originally located under the Yellow Springs Waterfall. These prevent outsiders from entering and create a quiet environment so that the will of Hanba can sleep stably and for a long time.

Unfortunately, after transforming into Hanba, once they are awakened, they will instinctively want to come out and walk. No matter who has been buried for hundreds of years, the first thing they want to do when they wake up is to see the outside world, and Hanba is no exception.

So at this time, Emperor Gaozong's humanity was also fighting against Hanba's instincts. So in Deng Zhenquan's mind, Hanba's voice was divided into two parts. One part was inclined to Emperor Gaozong's humanity, and was still explaining to him why he could not make meritorious deeds. The other part was doing its best to bewitch him and wanted to take over his body.

Deng Zhenquan's body directly broke through the Fourth Yama Palace in the dream, and like a bright sun, he suddenly rushed towards the Naraku Demon Emperor who was blocked outside.

This time, the burning righteous energy took the initiative to penetrate the Yin De Lotus. Deng Zhenquan was guiding the killing will of Hanba and the hatred towards the power of Mianlong to make himself feel better.

Facing Deng Zhenquan's attack, the Demon Emperor Naraku looked solemn and gave it his all. The extremely dark power formed an endless hell, where there was no space and no time. It symbolized eternal pain and was also the source of the birth of the Demon Emperor Naraku.

At this time, chains shot out from the endless darkness of the Demon Emperor Naraku, symbolizing eternal sin and evil consequences. They wanted to tie up Deng Zhenquan, who had merged the will of the drought demon, and drag him into the endless hell to seal him up.

The battle between the two made the sky in the dream appear black and white. The will of Hanba was guided into the battle. Deng Zhenquan felt a lot more relaxed. He tried to communicate with the will of Hanba.

"Emperor Gaozong, what is the root cause of the birth of Hanba?"

Deng Zhenquan firmly believed that there was no problem on his side. He was the Great Xia's Chief Justice, and Confucianism was a tradition that had produced saints. His use of the Confucian secret method would definitely not be so outrageous. There must be other reasons!
After a moment of silence, a heavy, helpless voice suddenly rang out from the messy, chaotic will of Hanba, "The one who tied the bell must untie it. The cause and effect have already arrived. How could those stink bugs be the opportunity for Hanba to be born?"

Emperor Gaozong's voice was deafening, and Deng Zhenquan suddenly realized that he was indeed wrong. He aimed at several third-rank gods who came in from the Shinto, but that was just a cover. There was another reason for the birth of Hanba.

Therefore, even if he killed all the third-rank gods, he could not prevent Hanba from being born. Naturally, he failed to accomplish his mission and could not proceed to the second step in his dream.

The sky was still black and white. The continuously falling blazing white righteous energy and the burnt black chains were like karmic fire meteors, smashing towards the Fourth Yama Palace in the entire dream. The many middle-grade practitioners who were caught here would die instantly if they were hit, leaving the entire Fourth Yama Palace filled with wailing. This was the real hell.

At the junction of the inner and outer cities, the disappeared Hao Ren used the Yanhuang Tongbao to hide the small building and cover up the secret. Next to him sat Zhou Tiege, who was 70% similar to Zhou Tieyi.

Although Zhou Tiege has never been involved in Zhou Tieyi's forces, he is Zhou Tieyi's recognized blood elder brother and holds a very important position in Zhou Tieyi's forces. Hao Ren knows how much Zhou Tieyi values ​​his brother, and it was Zhou Tiege's request that he come here to get involved in this matter.

"Master, this is not a solution."

Hao Ren pondered quietly, "By the way, Li Jianhu is still in the inner hall. Should we go rescue him?" Zhou Tiege suddenly stood up and said with a smile, "No need, our soldiers have already crossed the river."

As soon as he finished speaking, a breath of air, like a chain, penetrated the barrier of the dream under the blessing of Huineng's mind. A green chariot appeared in front of Zhou Tiege. Eight slender horses were like real dragons. The canopy was covered with stars and auspicious colors were hanging down. "Get in the car."

Hao Ren followed Zhou Tiege onto the chariot. The next moment, guided by the real power outside, Zhou Tiege swung the reins in his hand, and the Emperor's chariot flew across the sky, like a layer of blue sky, and directly crashed into the dream formed by the will of Hanba and the will of Mianlong.

The black and white colors in the sky were distorted, but at this time, the will of Hanba and the will of Mianlong were pulling each other to the limit, and they had no way to stop the imperial chariot guided by Xiaoyaoyou.

The emperor's chariot flew across the sky and disappeared into the dream.

At this moment, Deng Zhenquan could hear Emperor Gaozong sighing again, "That was the root cause. We were all deceived at the beginning. It was really fate that played tricks on us."

Eight dragon-like horses galloped forward, and the next moment they appeared in the silent Youde Palace in reality.

The sudden appearance of the imperial chariot startled Li Jianhu, but he was now a man who had seen the world. After calming down, he looked at the imperial chariot with curiosity and envy, and suddenly blurted out, "A real man should ride on this chariot!"

The three people around him turned to look at Li Jianhu. Hao Ren joked, "I didn't expect you to have such an idea. If people outside knew about this, they would be beheaded!"

Li Jianhu was embarrassed at first, and thought that he had been a little too arrogant recently. This carriage was not something he could handle at first glance, and it looked very much like the legendary imperial sedan chair. But then he remembered what Zhou Tieyi said when he first came out of the Great Xia Palace, and retorted, "The crime is not that I want to ride in a carriage! It's whether I have the ability to ride in this carriage!"

Zhou Tiege laughed heartily and said, "What a great ambition!"

But now there is not much time, and it is not the time to chat. He looked at the monk Huineng who had already contacted him, "What is the situation now?"

Huineng replied, "The will of Hanba is gradually reviving in Deng Zongxian's body. After reaching a critical point, Hanba may use Deng Zhenquan to escape directly. In the dream world, even if we join forces and have the help of several secret treasures, we may not be able to suppress Hanba's will. After all, that is its home ground. If we fight there, we will fall into the dream without knowing it, and we will get deeper and deeper into it."

"My idea is to rescue the old man in the mountains first. With the help of the second-rank master of the Miscellaneous Family, we are confident that we can directly seal the revival of Hanba in reality."

Zhou Tiege thought about it and nodded slightly. The Qing Emperor's lineage had made such a great contribution this time, and they were also relatives of their Zhou family. If they had the ability to help, it would be their duty to rescue the second-rank person.

Huineng continued, "Now I'm not sure which bone pillar the old man in the mountain is trapped on."

Zhou Tiege frowned. He was not good at divination. Hao Ren suddenly said, "I have a way to calculate it."

He did not explain, but took out the Yanhuang Tongbao and a few coins and began to tell fortunes. The Yanhuang Tongbao had the power of divination when it was first minted, but in the beginning it could only predict good or bad luck.

But later on, Yanhuang Tongbao was completed, not only adding several new earth-shaking magical powers, but also strengthening its original magical powers, and being able to play some magical roles in divination.

Although Hao Ren was not good at divination, the problem in front of him was not difficult. There were only eighty-one pillars, and they could even rule out the pillar leading to Daxia. In addition, the aura left by the old man in the mountains was enough, so it was not difficult to calculate which pillar he would fall in front of.

In just ten breaths, Hao Ren had a target. He came to a gray-white pillar that seemed to be closed, "This is it."

Huineng replied, “Sure enough, the old man in the mountains wanted to find a way to the outside world, so he got stuck in there.”

Li Jianhu asked, "This bone pillar seems to be closed, how can we get in?"

He tried the scroll in his hand, but unfortunately, even if they knew the direction, they had no way to get in. Come to think of it, the scroll was only a part of the power of the old man in the mountains. Even a complete second-grade Xiaoyaoyou was lost in it. How could they open the passage through the scroll?

When Zhou Tiege saw the real eighty-one bone pillars, he had a strange premonition in his heart. He just raised his hand and stepped back sharply the moment he touched the bone pillar!

The bone pillar in front of him was like the surface of a lake being touched. Ripples appeared in the space and the gray-white bone pillar began to move. The skeleton of the dragon on it swam slowly, anchoring the new spatial orientation and connecting the space inside and outside!

"It's on!"

Li Jianhu couldn't believe it. He turned to look at Zhou Tiege, "So simple?"

Originally, he thought that even with Zhou Tiege's help, it would take at least a long time to study, but who would have thought that as soon as Zhou Tiege touched it, the entire bone pillar opened directly!

Zhou Tiege first looked at his palm, then said in a serious tone, "It's not that simple, but it's God's will."

"God willing?"

Monk Huineng keenly grasped the key point and asked.

Zhou Tiege looked at the opened bone pillar in front of him, "Yes, it is the will of heaven. Saints, when the gods move their thoughts, the heaven and earth will move. At that time, the nine gods of the ancient times fell from their saintly positions one by one, anchoring their own will of heaven for future generations. The will of heaven that my brother anchored was 'the prosperity of humanity for ten thousand years', and this time it is another kind of will of heaven."

He thought of the time when he was in the Taihang Divine Court, when the will of the Emperor of Life and Death collided with him and Zhou Tieyi. At that time, the Emperor of Life and Death was defeated, but instead gave him more authority over the underworld.

And when he opened this bone pillar at this moment, it was one of the powers bestowed by the Emperor of Life and Death.

"This is the will of the Emperor of Life and Death."
