Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 211 Fortune Teller, Where Should We Go?
Yaowang Mountain.

Balls of black air were swallowing and discharging in the mountain, and screams could be heard from the mountain from time to time.

At this time, there were still quite a few cultivators gathered outside Yaowang Mountain.

The cultivation levels of these cultivators varied. Most of them chose to stay where they were after the people in front of them entered the mountain and did not come out, but some of them were not afraid of death and went into the mountain.

Zhou Ping, Fan Shiyi, Zhiqiu Yiye and Xiao Baiyun came to the foot of the mountain.

"Look, look, those people."

"The third-rank Fan Shiyi, the disciple of the national teacher Pudu Cihang, and Zhiqiu Yiye from Kunlun Mountain."

"The younger generation ranks first in Confucianism, first in Buddhism, and first in Taoism."

"Hey, with these people here, no matter what kind of monsters there are in the mountain, they will not be subdued."

"That's not necessarily true. I heard from the miners who escaped from the mountain that the altar where the monster was dug out is very old, and seems to be something from thousands of years ago."

"It has not died for thousands of years. It must be at least a first-class evil spirit."

The cultivators were discussing the matter. Some thought that Zhou Ping and others should be able to deal with the monsters in the mountains, while others thought that even if Zhou Ping and others went in, they would be in great danger.

Xiao Qing crawled out of Fan Shiyi's arms and landed on Zhou Ping's shoulder. She said worriedly, "This mountain feels very dangerous to me. The things inside are definitely above the third rank, and they are very ancient."

Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi looked at each other, and both could see the seriousness in each other's eyes.

Zhiqiu Yiye was slightly delighted. He looked at Xiao Baiyun, Fan Shiyi and Zhou Ping, and thought to himself, "Hey, the more powerful the things inside are, the better. It would be best if I could defeat all three of you. Then I can make a move. By then, my reputation will be established."

Zhiqiu Yiye came to the secular world from Kunlun Mountain. Although he was known as the best of the younger generation of the Dizong Sect, not many people recognized him. After all, Taoism was very mysterious, and not many people roamed around in the world.

Therefore, Zhiqiu Yiye urgently needs to become famous overnight.

"Let's go. Whatever it is in the mountain, it doesn't seem to have escaped yet. Once it completely escapes, I'm afraid it will become very difficult to deal with, and there will be countless casualties. We need to destroy it before it completely escapes."

After Fan Shiyi finished speaking, he was about to walk into the mountains.

Zhou Ping, Zhiqiu Yiye and Xiao Baiyun followed closely behind.

“Oh Amitabha.”

Suddenly, a Buddhist chant rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a monk brought several other monks to the foot of the mountain.

Zhou Ping had some impression of this monk. He was Monk Pu Ren from Qianzhou City.

Monk Pu Ren and Zhou Ping once entered the secret realm together.

"Junior Brother Baiyun, I have something to talk to you about. The master just issued an edict that the evil creatures in the mountains have a great cause and effect relationship with Buddhism. The time is not right yet, and we Buddhists cannot intervene." Pu Ren clasped his hands together.

Xiao Baiyun was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for telling me."

Little Baiyun turned around and said to the others, "Master, the time has not come yet. I cannot enter the mountain yet. How about we wait until the right time is right?"

Xiao Baiyun paused for a moment, then continued, "My master is a first-rank master, and his cultivation is unparalleled. Since he said that the time is not right, it means that it is not a good time to go in. There may be great danger. Why don't we wait a little longer?"

Fan Shiyi glanced at Pu Ren, laughed sarcastically, and then strode into the mountain: "Great cause and effect? ​​Opportunity? I'm afraid that if we don't go in, your Buddhist opportunity will never come."

When Zhou Ping saw Fan Shiyi entering the mountain, he hurriedly followed Fan Shiyi inside.

After Zhou Ping entered the mountain, he immediately released the ghost baby and the ghost bride.

There were two ghosts, one was of the sixth rank and the other was of the ninth rank. In such a place and time, the ghost bride and the ghost baby could play a big role.

Zhiqiu Yiye was stunned for a moment, then also went into the mountain.

Xiao Baiyun was a little anxious. He was afraid that something might happen to them. However, he had to obey the master's order. He looked at Pu Ren and said, "Brother, when is the right time?"

Pu Ren watched Zhou Ping and his companions enter the mountain and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Pu Ren knew the details of the ghost king in the mountain very well, and Pu Du Ci Hang also sent him a magic weapon that could restrain the ghost king.

Buddhists never do things to the extreme, but rather focus on doing things slowly and for a long time.

Why do people kneel down to worship gods and Buddhas?
Because there are demons in this world.

If demons disappeared, gods and Buddhas would be of no use.

Even gods and Buddhas cannot enjoy incense.

That is why Buddhism talks about cause and effect, using cause and effect to cover up the purpose of sealing evil instead of killing it.

Pu Ren is well versed in this. He entered the art earlier than Xiao Baiyun, and now his cultivation level is only sixth rank, but Xiao Baiyun has already reached fourth rank.

Although his cultivation is weak, Pu Ren does not rely on his cultivation but on his IQ.

The Buddhist temple Pudu Cihang is in the capital, and there are nine large temples in the nine prefectures.

Pu Ren is the dean of one of the colleges, and his status is similar to that of Meng Jiusheng.

"Junior brother, don't be anxious. When the opportunity comes, we will take action." Pu Ren smiled faintly.

The gold mine in Yaowang Mountain is a piece of fat meat, and Buddhists also want to have a piece of it.

According to Pu Du Ci Hang's plan, when no one can deal with the Ghost King, the Buddhists will take action, and then they can get a share of the pie from Zhao Tian.

"Master said it should be 20:80, I think 30:70 is also fine."

In Yaowang Mountain.

"The right time is when you and I are both defeated, or when we fight the evil creatures in the mountains and both of us suffer losses, and then the Buddhists will come out to pick the fruits." Fan Shiyi explained to Zhou Ping.

Zhiqiu Yiye yawned, holding a piece of grass in his mouth. "What's the use of cause and effect? ​​These bald donkeys caught the evil creatures, but instead of killing them quickly, they sealed them up. After hundreds of years, when the evil creatures escape, they can seal them up again."

After listening to what the two said, Zhou Ping suddenly understood.

This is the same reason as in Journey to the West, why the closer you get to Mount Lingshan, the more demons and monsters there are.

If there were no demons and monsters, who would seek Buddha’s blessing?
The same goes for the evil creatures in these mountains. Even if they can be killed, they are not killed. They are just sealed. When they break the seal in the future, they can be used again.

"One fish can be used in many ways." Zhou Ping said with a smile.

While Zhou Ping and the others were talking, the ghost bride began to show some emotions.

"My husband, I have entered the fifth rank, and my child has entered the eighth rank."

There is a strong ghostly aura in Yaowang Mountain.

The ghost baby and the ghost bride practice the Ghost King Technique, which was passed down from tens of thousands of years ago and is extremely domineering.

Even the Ghost King in the mountains practices the Ghost King Technique.

It’s just that the Ghost King’s Ghost King Secret is an incomplete version, not as good as the Ghost Bride’s Ghost King Secret.

The Ghost Bride's Ghost King Secret was obtained by Zhou Ping in the secret realm. Although it is not complete, it is much more complete than the Ghost King Secret practiced by the Ghost King in the mountains.

The ghost bride and ghost baby should have broken through long ago, but they just lacked ghost energy.

The ghost energy on Yaowang Mountain just happened to allow the two ghosts to break through in their cultivation.

Zhou Ping felt slightly happy in his heart. The stronger the two ghosts were, the greater the benefit would be to this trip.

"Fortune teller, where are we going?" Zhou Ping looked at Zhiqiu Yiye.
