My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 567 Old Monk
Jiang Xinghuo found a crystal clear crystal heart in the corner of the space in the Sumeru Ring, with seven holes emitting light on it.

"Seven-aperture exquisite heart (legendary material), a spiritual heart that connects to the seven apertures, with all kinds of wonderful methods memorized in the heart, a divine heart nurtured by the secular world, born with a different species, with the ability to comprehend all kinds of wonderful methods without a teacher."

Tathagata's small pupils flickered with divine light. He saw the origin of the crystal heart, and a new text emerged in his mind.

"The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart is a strange stone from ancient legends in the secular world. It was created by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but only a few races can use it, and the Exiles are one of them."

"If other races were to randomly fuse this Seven-Aperture Delicate Heart, it would be like placing a deadly poison in their bodies. They would be reduced to ashes in an instant, and their bodies and souls would disappear."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the extra memories in his mind and remembered that when he first entered the game, he met a coroner in the sewer of Longcheng. The other party replaced his heart with a seven-orifice heart.

However, that seven-aperture exquisite heart was a fake developed by the coroner himself, and it was far from the real seven-aperture exquisite heart.

He had also tried to inquire about the information about the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, but never found any specific clues or information. Unexpectedly, he discovered such a rare treasure in the Sumeru Ring of the Great Master Liuli.

According to the game text in my mind, only a few races can use the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart. I guess Great Venerable Liuli is not among these races, but I was reluctant to trade him away, so I kept it in my storage ring as a collection. As a result, I got it for free.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the crystal heart that was shining in his hand, temporarily left the space of the Sumeru Ring, and returned outside.

Then, he tentatively placed the crystal heart close to his chest, and the crystal heart seemed to melt and slowly sank into his body.

Immediately, a feeling of coolness quickly spread from the chest, and in an instant flowed to the limbs and bones, and finally gathered again in the chest area.

At the same time, a text prompt indicating successful fusion appeared in my mind.

"You have successfully integrated the Seven Apertures Heart."

Jiang Xinghuo opened his eyes again and looked around. Although there was not much change visually, wherever his eyes passed, they were all deeply imprinted in his mind.

Even the details of the patterns on the surrounding buildings can be recalled very clearly.

Moreover, he didn't deliberately remember these things. Just a casual glance at them was enough to enable him to remember everything he saw.

"If this was used in school, wouldn't it be a cheating device for the top students?"

However, this is only an instinctive change brought about by the Seven-Aperture Heart, not the true ability of this strange heart.

According to the information analyzed by Tathagatagarbha, the real talent of the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart is the ability to learn without a teacher, and to comprehend the scriptures or techniques it sees on its own.

Jiang Xinghuo walked into the Sumeru Ring again, picked up a Buddhist scripture, opened it and read a few pages, then closed the book in his hand and began to recall the contents of the scripture.

Those obscure Buddhist scriptures immediately came to my mind, and even the meaning of the scriptures revealed was revealed along with them.

At this moment, Jiang Xinghuo seemed to have become a senior monk who had practiced Zen for many years and had a clear understanding of the Buddhist scriptures.

"hiss……"

Jiang Xinghuo opened his eyes and was shocked. This seven-orifice mind was really strange. He had never come across Buddhist scriptures, let alone those obscure scriptures.

But under the influence of the Seven Apertures Heart, he comprehended the mystery without any obstacles. It was simply an incredible thing.

Jiang Xinghuo put down the scripture in his hand and looked at the other things he had found.

"Pharmacist Silkworm King Gu (legendary material). When Liuli Great Venerable traveled in the secular world, he once met Wanmiao Zhenjun and learned a unique method of cultivating Gu worms from him. By absorbing and swallowing various pathogens and toxins, and supplemented by the unique healing spells of the Medicine Master Temple, there is a chance to cultivate a Medicine Silkworm King Gu. Then, by tempering oneself with the Gu disease, one can maximize the potential and potential deep in the body and consciousness, thereby generating the ability to resist pathogens and Gu poison. The cultivation of Gu worms is divided into five stages. After they are fully grown, they can be immune to all diseases in the world, as well as Gu poison and related evil spells."

"However, Great Master Liuli has searched the secular world for thousands of years and has not found enough germs and toxins to train this poisonous insect. It can only stay in the fourth stage. The germs and toxins needed to advance to the last stage are difficult to find in the secular world today."

"However, your Thousand Poisons Immunity Body and Five Grains Reincarnation Body can just replenish the bacteria and toxins that this Pharmacist Silkworm King Gu needs for the last stage."

Ok?
When seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought that this was really a coincidence. Great Master Liuli was really a good person. He saved him from countless troubles and troubles, and he had the opportunity to upgrade this insect to the final stage directly.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xinghuo has no plans to use this thing for now, at least not here. He plans to use this Pharmacist Silkworm King Gu through the game after he leaves the Three Lives Ghost Temple and returns to the real world.

Jiang Xinghuo casually threw the things into the magic bag, and then looked at the remaining things. He used the ones that could be used directly, and hung the unused ones in the niche shop to sell after he was ready to leave here.

As for the inherited scriptures of the Medicine Buddha Temple, Jiang Xinghuo plans to return them to the Shifang Zen Temple, which can be regarded as repaying the favor of Ksitigarbha.

After all, someone gave him the Buddhist scriptures to read, and he learned some things from the Buddhist scriptures. He returned the heritage of the Medicine Buddha Temple to them, so it can be said that they had a give and take. Buddhism emphasizes the cycle of cause and effect. Who knows if there is any trick involved? It is better to be careful.

Jiang Xinghuo searched the Sumeru Ring thoroughly and took away everything that was useful, leaving only sets of Buddhist scriptures and books there.

"It's time to move on..."

Jiang Xinghuo put away the Sumeru Ring, put it on his finger, and set his eyes on the back door of the temple in front.

Without the obstruction of the statue on the altar, the half-open back door was completely revealed before his eyes.

Jiang Xinghuo weighed the Dragon King's Taoist weapon in his hand, took a deep breath, and walked into the deep and dim temple in front.

Crunch!

Accompanied by a teeth-grinding sound of door hinges.

The half-open door was pushed open completely.

An ancient blue brick road covered with weeds extends from the bottom of the steps to the fog in front. At the end of the ancient road is a white temple. The style is very different from that of ordinary temples. There are also wind horse flags fluttering on both sides.

“Tantric temple?”

Jiang Xinghuo was stunned at first, but quickly reacted. This kind of wind horse flag and the white appearance are only found in Tantric temples, which are completely different from the style of other Buddhist temples.

"The sea really is open to all rivers..." Jiang Xinghuo muttered a few words as he looked at the temple in front of him, but his feet did not slow down. He walked down the steps and along the broken bluestone ancient road towards the white temple in front.

Click! !
Jiang Xinghuo stepped down, and perhaps because he was too strong or the bluestone on the ground had become brittle due to weathering, it broke into pieces in an instant.

He subconsciously looked down and saw something white vaguely visible under the broken bricks and stones.

Jiang Xinghuo's heart moved slightly, and he used the Dragon King's Taoist weapon in his hand to pry open the bricks and stones. Only then did he see what was buried under the bricks. It turned out to be scattered skeletons, evenly and neatly stacked under the bricks and stones.

"This is……"

Jiang Xinghuo opened the small pupil of his right eye and observed the skeletons with the vision of Tathagata.

The information he saw surprised him a little.

"The Vajra Boundary (legend) is a supreme method of subduing demons that is passed down in the Tantric lineage. It requires the corpses of 360 great Tantric practitioners to be used as guides. After being sacrificed and refined according to a special method, they are buried in the four directions in the center of the boundary. When the muscles and flesh turn into mud and the bones and blood merge into the soil, the Vajra Boundary will be formed. It is a kind of boundary specially used for sealing."

Jiang Xinghuo looked up at the white temple in front of him, his expression a little solemn. He didn't know what kind of secrets were buried in this Three Worlds Ghost Temple. It actually required the sacrifice of 360 great Buddhist practitioners to form a sealing barrier. Could it be that there was a demon suppressed inside that was more powerful than those ancient masters? ?
At this time, Jiang Xinghuo also walked to the front of the white temple. The air was filled with a rich aroma of ghee, which was coming from the temple.

In addition, Jiang Xinghuo also smelled a faint milky scent mixed with honey on the white brick wall next to him.

"Very luxurious..."

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly.

Only then did he realize that the white color of the outside of the temple was actually made of milk mixed with honey and then coated with a large amount of glutinous rice flour.

On the top of the temple, a golden pagoda is made up of precious beads, treasure bottles, golden chariots and lotus flowers, and on both sides of the pagoda are placed Bodhi golden sheep and gilded peacock.

Jiang Xinghuo walked up the steps and pushed open the temple door. A dim corridor appeared in front of him. Both sides were filled with wooden racks more than one person tall. On them stood rows of ghee candles. The candlelight flickered slightly, illuminating the dim road under his feet.

I looked at both sides of the corridor in the faint light of the candle.

The surrounding walls are covered with various murals, all of which are the deities and gods of the Tantric Buddhism. The blank spaces between each mural are connected by various lotus patterns.

Walking through this dark corridor,
Jiang Xinghuo came to the hall in front, which looked even more elegant and magnificent. The bronze statue of the wrathful Vajra King and the clay sculpture of the lowered-browed Bodhisattva, wearing gold and silver, had different postures. It was the ultimate luxury in the world.

But these magnificent furnishings and decorations did not attract Jiang Xinghuo's attention at all, because there was a coffin on the lotus platform in the middle of the hall!
Sitting on the coffin was a haggard old monk, whose entire lower body was almost completely integrated with the coffin.

More importantly, this old monk is still alive!!
Jiang Xinghuo could clearly see two flaming eyes staring at him from under that thin and withered face.

He couldn't help but tighten the Dragon King's Dao weapon in his hand, and at the same time prepared himself to be killed.

Faced with an old monk who has lived for who knows how many years, even if a hundred of him were tied together, they might not be his match.

You know, the Three Ghost Temple is a relic left over from the last secular civilization.

He even suspected that the old monk was just like the old man in the ancestral hall of Taiping Ancient Town, a survivor of the previous civilization, who had somehow survived to this day.

"Hey, hey, hey... young man... come here and let me see..."

The old monk sitting cross-legged on the coffin let out a hoarse laugh, which echoed all around like a crow's cry at night. He didn't look like a positive character at all.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't want to pay attention to what the other party said.

But the old monk just waved his hand slightly, and he walked towards there involuntarily. Except for his thoughts and eyes, the rest of his body was out of control.

"Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you. I just haven't seen my tribesmen for a long time, so I am a little excited..."

The old monk called Jiang Xinghuo in, looked him up and down carefully, and nodded:
"I didn't expect that the plan of those lunatics would succeed. They actually split the secular world into two parts..."

Listening to the old monk's words, Jiang Xinghuo immediately understood the other party's identity. As expected, he was the same as the old man in the ancestral hall in Taiping Ancient Town. They were both strong men who survived the last secular world and were veritable antiques.

"It's a pity... I can't leave here... I can't see the secular world with my own eyes. Young man, if you don't mind, please have a good chat with me and tell me about the current situation outside. How about that?"

As soon as the old monk finished speaking,
Jiang Xinghuo felt that he had regained his ability to move.

He looked at the old monk in front of him, thought for a moment, then sat down on the ground and started chatting with the old monk.

He told the old monk about the historical development of the earth and the affairs of the secular world without reservation, especially the secular world where demons were rampant and social order was in chaos. He told the old monk all the information he had found out.

As to whether he will do anything detrimental to himself.

Jiang Xinghuo no longer considers this issue.

The point is that thinking so much is useless.

This old monk is obviously stronger than himself. If the other party wants to do something to him, he won't even have a chance to fight back.

After hearing what Jiang Xinghuo said, the old monk's facial expressions were also varied.

Sometimes he laughed heartily, sometimes he nodded and sighed, sometimes he glared angrily, but in the end it all turned into a long sigh.

"Alas... If I can leave here... I will definitely find those damned old thieves and fight them to the death..."

"Back then, if they hadn't betrayed us at the last minute and suddenly destroyed the Origin Dao Marks that we had finally assembled, we might not have lost the battle. Maybe we would have a chance to start all over again..."

I overslept during my nap. It was already five o'clock when I woke up. Sorry, sorry...≥﹏≤
