Chapter 377 Daluo Dharma Realm
It turns out it’s hidden here!

Li Yan's heart couldn't help but pound.

The three treasures of Yunmengze, whether it is the Yunzhongjun Divine Palace or the Xirang, are all things in myths and legends. The fact that Wang Chan Patriarch’s Sutra Forest can be compared with them shows how extraordinary it is.

In the eyes of others, Wang Chan's Buddhist Scripture Forest may represent a heritage, such as the art of war, diplomacy, yin and yang, which can bring peace to the world.

But what Li Yan was more concerned about was the secret.

The great sorcerer Xing Hepu was the first to discover this thing. He was a living ghost himself, but he was able to avoid the rules of heaven and earth and provide shelter for some returning people and earth immortals.

Perhaps, this secret is recorded in it...

Li Yan was excited, but became more cautious.

This place may be the secret of the Fuxi tribe.

Looking at the corpses around, they come from different eras. I'm afraid they also came here in pursuit of this ancient secret, but they also chose to cover it up and buried their bodies here.

Li Yan heard something from Wang Daoxuan.

In this world, there are some amazing dragon veins and acupoints. Even if someone is buried in them, his body will not decay. The one in front of me is probably...

He looked around again and moved carefully towards the forest of stele.

This grotto is not big, about the size of a small two-story temple. The steles are arranged in the shape of the Eight Diagrams, placed in the middle, and most of them face inwards.

To see it clearly, you have to enter it.

After walking for more than ten steps, Li Yan was close to the forest of steles. With the help of the faint blue light in the cave, he carefully examined the words engraved on the steles.

"If we look back to ancient times, the saints were the first among all living things. They observed the opening and closing of yin and yang to determine the destiny of things and knew the door to survival and destruction..."

"There are five energies in the prosperous spirit: the spirit is the leader, the heart is the home, and virtue is the greatness. The place to nourish the spirit is the Tao..."

Seeing these words, Li Yan just frowned.

Although he is not as knowledgeable as Wang Daoxuan, since he began his practice, he has also started reading many ancient books in his spare time.

These words are clearly from Guiguzi's Book of War and the Seven Techniques of Yin Fu.

Although they cannot be found everywhere on the streets, most wealthy families have books in their homes, so it is not uncommon.

The Forest of Steles is divided into three layers, and these are probably the ones on the outer edges.

Li Yan walked forward a few more steps and checked the forest of steles in the middle.

"The turtle is the leader of shelled insects. It has a shell pattern on its back. When it is roasted with burning wood, its shell cracks and the pattern appears. The first day of the year is Heaven, the second day is Earth, and the third day is Heaven, which is the Shangyuan. The fourth day of the year is Earth, the fifth day is Heaven, and the sixth day is Earth, which is the Zhongyuan..."

Seeing the text above, Li Yan frowned slightly.

These are all the ways of divination, including "The Turtle Shell Divination" and "The Yarrow Divination". The characters are only as big as soybeans and are densely engraved on each stone tablet.

The art of numerology is profound and extensive, divination is just one of them. There are also some strange military techniques in the Forest of Steles.

Li Yan didn't quite understand these things and wasn't very interested in them.

It is definitely impossible to memorize it, so either make a rubbing or take out the entire stone tablet.

Thinking of this, he looked at the stone tablets in the center.

Li Yan had a hunch that there must be something he wanted hidden inside.

After approaching cautiously, he looked at a stone tablet.

There is an article engraved on the stone tablet, with the words also densely packed in words only the size of green beans, which makes people dizzy just by looking at them.

No wonder this thing is used to record it.

This stone tablet is not an ordinary object. It looks a bit like obsidian and is as bright and smooth as glass. After so many years, the writing is still clear.

More importantly, it is the article engraved on it.

"Daluo Dharma Realm"!
Just seeing this name, Li Yan's heart trembled.

After reading a few sentences, his eyes widened.

This article begins with an autobiography, telling the story of the practice of Master Wang Chan when he was young.

Patriarch Wang Chan became famous during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He was called Guiguzi because of the four moles on his forehead, which formed the image of Guixiu, and he lived in seclusion in Guigu, Yunmeng Mountain.

But in fact, his origins are much older.

As mentioned above, he was born in the Shang Dynasty, experienced several resurrections, and even served as a sacrificial official in the Shang and Zhou dynasties!

The above tells the whole story of the Battle of the Gods.

The witch in ancient times could communicate with the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth, and could even sleepwalk into the realm of gods, comprehend the great truth, and master great supernatural powers. Later, he caused disasters to befall the heavens and frequent calamities.

Later, Gonggong competed with Zhuanxu for the throne and angrily struck the Buzhou Mountain in the realm of gods, causing the pillars of heaven to break and the earth to be severed, the sky tilted to the northwest and the earth sank to the southeast.

Therefore, Emperor Zhuanxu severed the connection between heaven and earth. On the one hand, he reformed human sacrifices, which was called "Severing the Connection between Earth"; on the other hand, he united various "emperors" and established rules, which became the prototype of the Heavenly Law, which was called "Severing the Connection between Heaven and Earth".

But this still could not prevent the disaster.

After the great flood, there has been no "Emperor" since Yu.

Therefore, during the Shang Dynasty, the main object of worship changed from gods in heaven to human ghosts, that is, the ancestors of the Shang Dynasty, and the ritual of human sacrifice became more and more prosperous.

One thing in common is that this kind of sacrifice has strict regulations, and the Shang royal family has absolute right of interpretation, which is orthodox.

But the hidden dangers of human sacrifice gradually emerged.

This method not only created a burden, causing the princes and tribes to gradually become alienated, but also caused powerful ghosts and gods to wreak havoc on the human world, known as the 72 Earth Gods.

The Later Zhou rituals replaced the Shang sacrifices, many immortals came down to earth, the 72 earth gods were banned, and the human sacrificial rituals changed, which is the so-called Battle of the Gods.

Now, the whole structure of Xuanmen originates from the Conferred Gods.

What really shocked Li Yan was that many things mentioned in "Classic of Mountains and Seas", such as Kunlun, Jianmu, Guixu, Youdu... were all in the realm of gods.

This place is called Daluo Dharma Realm!

And below, there is another article added by Xing Hepu, saying that today's heaven and underworld are both in the Daluo Realm!

This Daluo Dharma Realm is unpredictable and as difficult to describe as the Great Dao, but it is closely connected with the human world and changes due to the sacrificial rituals of the mortal world.

The so-called "Emperor", "Immortal" and "God" all have a common name, "the one who ascends to God"!
Li Yan's heart was pounding.

The things described above are so bizarre and strange that they are hard to believe.

Also, this divine realm is called Daluo Dharma Realm.

Is his Daluo Dharmakaya also related to this?

Li Yan was completely immersed in it. After finishing reading "Daluo Dharma Realm", he turned to another inscription.

But after taking just two steps, thick fog rose around them.

Li Yan was stunned for a moment and felt a little nervous.

He was very familiar with this scene. It looked like this every time the underworld issued a mission.

Could it be because I had peeped into a taboo?

Li Yan felt uneasy, so he pushed away the clouds and mist and walked forward.

But this time, something is different.

The clouds and mist seemed endless, and after walking for a long time, I couldn't see anything.

Outside, his physical body had confused eyes, as if controlled by something, and walked into a stone cave like a puppet.

Like those corpses, he sat cross-legged and gradually lost his breath...

…………

"Roar!"

The waves surged and the roars continued.

On the surface of the underground river in the ruins, two giant beasts were fighting fiercely.

The crocodile master was gradually losing the upper hand, and the gaps between his scales were once again filled with those strange white poisonous nematodes, which damaged his combat effectiveness.

The East Lake Patriarch was also feeling bad.

These big monsters are huge in size and have amazing magic, but they also consume a lot of energy. They have stopped using magic and are just fighting with their hands.

The body of the East Lake Ancestor had been torn by the Crocodile Master with many wounds, so deep that the bones were visible, and the blood had dyed the water surface red.

Boom!
The crocodile master suddenly turned around and crashed into the stone platform on the shore, trying to stop the sacrificial ceremony, which made the East Lake Patriarch shocked and angry, and he hurried to stop him.

However, this is just a lure.

While the East Lake Patriarch was pouncing on him, Master Tu suddenly turned around, bit the East Lake Patriarch's thigh, and rolled his body wildly, causing huge waves.

"Roar!"

With a scream of pain, the thigh of the Donghu Patriarch was torn off.

Lu San no longer hid, he stood on the high platform, filled the replacement bone, aimed at the head of Donghu Patriarch, and pressed the trigger.

Bang! With a loud noise, the blood-red giant eye of the East Lake Patriarch exploded instantly.

The crocodile master took the opportunity to bite the other thigh of the opponent.

The battle between these giant monsters made the surrounding monsters terrified.

Yu Faling of the Snake Cult also didn't care at this time. He held incense in his hands, chanted something, and worshiped the jade congs continuously.

Finally, there were changes in the mechanism.

Click!Click!
Accompanied by muffled sounds, the eighteen jade congs sank.

With a creaking sound, the originally still waterwheel began to turn.

Lu San didn't care when he saw it.

He knew from the murals that these water wheels were connected by cables, but most of them had been damaged. Even if the sacrifice was successful, it would be impossible to raise the strange pearl.

Sure enough, although the few remaining water wheels were turning, they were accompanied by creaking sounds, and the cables on them became tighter and tighter, and then all broke with a bang.

"Do not--!"

When Yu Faling saw this, his face was filled with despair.

Even the East Lake Patriarch had a hint of retreat in his eyes.

But at this moment, something strange happened.

The blood poured on the jade cong seemed to be attracted by something and seeped into the ground.

Even the river water that was dyed red gradually faded.

It seems like something is absorbing the blood.

Then, a faint blue light appeared on the water surface.

The blue light became brighter and brighter, eventually illuminating the entire ruins.

"This is…"

Lu San and Wu Ba looked at the water surface with bright blue light and looked at each other in surprise.

Even the demons from the Tiansheng Sect below, as well as Master Tuo and the Donghu Patriarch, all stopped and looked alert.

What they didn’t know was that as the blue light appeared, all the “Jing people” hidden in the stone walls of the cave knelt down and kowtowed frantically.

Jing people live and serve gods.

Wherever the Jing people live, there must be powerful gods. It is because of serving the gods that this ancient race can exist.

Li Yan and others, including the evil people of the Tiansheng Sect, all thought that these "Jing people" were serving the goddess of the Han River or the god of Mount Xian.

However, their guesses were all wrong.

The densely packed "Jing people" carried out pieces of jade while offering sacrifices.

There are two kinds of jade articles they used, jade cong and jade huang.

The jade cong can communicate with gods and is placed in the center, while the jade huang is used to eliminate disasters and is placed on the periphery by the "Jingren".

These little things kept bowing, with madness in their eyes.

The people outside, whether it was Lü San, Wu Ba, or those Tiansheng Sect monsters, even Master Tu and Donghu Patriarch, were all bathed in blue light, and their pupils gradually lost focus...

…………

Just when the sacrifice was successful, changes occurred on Li Yan's side.

The thick fog around quickly dissipated, and a little light appeared.

what is this?
Li Yan thought it was a new mission from the underworld, so he quickly quickened his pace.

But when he got closer, he found something wrong.

The surrounding scenery changed rapidly, and a cave appeared, which was almost exactly the same as the ruins of the Fuxi tribe outside.

The difference is that there is not a speck of dust and it is very clean.

The light he saw was an oil lamp, dim and dark, illuminating only a small area of ​​the cave.

An old man in Taoist robes was sitting cross-legged on the animal skin.

Li Yan was startled and stopped immediately.

This was the first time he encountered this situation.

He had also seen this old man.
It was one of the corpses sitting cross-legged outside!

As if sensing his arrival, the old man slowly opened his eyes, suppressed his excitement, and said in a hoarse voice: "Congratulations, fellow Taoist, you have attained the Tao and become an immortal!"

"Immortal?"

Li Yan was a little confused. He looked around and was a little bit unbelievable. "Is this the fairyland?"

"Hahaha…"

The old man shook his robe, slowly stood up, stroked his beard and said: "Of course it is the fairyland. If you come here, you can gain immortality, practice fairy magic, and change as you wish."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the surrounding scene changed again.

The originally simple and rustic cave was instantly covered with gold, which then changed and flowed to form intricate patterns. Even the ground was covered with smooth jade bricks.

Li Yan's eyes showed shock, but he became more alert in his heart.

He had a feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

The old Taoist on the other side continued to ask: "Since you are new here, may I ask how the human world is doing now? Is the Tang Dynasty still prosperous?"

Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "The Tang Dynasty was long gone, and now it is the Xuan Dynasty. It has been five hundred years since the Tang Dynasty was destroyed."

"Five hundred years..."

The old Taoist was stunned, with some panic in his eyes, but he still suppressed a sigh, "Alas~ One year in heaven is a hundred years on earth."

As he was speaking, a light suddenly appeared outside the cave.

The old Taoist's eyes were filled with ecstasy, and he immediately said: "Follow me, fellow Taoist, let's go see the Immortal Venerable..."

Immortal Lord?

Li Yan felt more and more strange in his heart, but the old Taoist had already rushed out of the cave, so he had no choice but to follow behind.

After leaving the cave, Li Yan was stunned.

All I saw before me were the remains of Fuxi’s tribe, but they had changed in appearance and turned into a high mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, and there was no underground river.

At the location where the underground river was originally located, there stood a huge pearl, on which an old man in leather clothes was sitting cross-legged.

The same as the first ancient corpse he saw in the cave.

The light he saw was all emitted by the pearl, as if this dark world was illuminated by this object.

Afterwards, many people walked out of the surrounding stone caves.

Most of them looked like ancient people wearing leather clothes and had thick hair, while a few of them, like the corpses he had seen, were wearing clothes from different eras.

Different from the ruins of the Fuxi tribe seen before, the rocks here are white, and with the pearl below, it is clearly an unprecedented giant clam!
Li Yan's scalp tingled and he couldn't help asking, "Where on earth is this?"

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "This is the Immortal Realm, Mount Ying. The Immortal Venerable is the Immortal Lord of Mount Ying, a member of the ancient Fuxi clan."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at him, his eyes full of expectation, "Daoyou, are you here on the orders of Daoyou Xing Hepu?"

Li Yan was confused by these words and shook his head, "No, I just stumbled into this place by mistake and I don't know Xing Hepu..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw a group of eyes looking at him from inside the ruins, filled with cold and malicious hatred.

The old Taoist was also furious, "Well, that thief Taoist really is deceiving us!"

As they were talking, everyone suddenly turned their heads.

Outside the ruins, clouds and mist were rolling, and dense crowds of figures appeared. They were Lu San, Wu Ba and others. Even Master Tu and the East Lake Patriarch appeared, looking around with alert faces.

"Hahaha…"

The old Taoist laughed heartily again, "Fellow Daoist really loves to joke around. You brought so many sacrifices and still said it has nothing to do with Fellow Daoist Xing."

After saying that, he quickly rushed out of the ruins. At the same time, his body shape changed rapidly, resembling a tiger, with spikes all over his body, wings growing from his back, and he flapped his wings and took off.

Qiongqi!

Li Yan was stunned.

The other people in the ruins also turned into similar monsters, flapping their wings and swooping down on the people outside the ruins.

But at the same time, the hook in his arms began to heat up...

　I had something to do in the morning, so the update is late. Sorry, the second update will still be in the afternoon.
