Chapter 100: The ruined bottom floor of the exquisite pagoda

[Obtain the "Broken Delicate Pagoda Bottom Floor"]

Yang Heyi swept the Niwan Palace, and the Kunlun Mountain seal became dim.

[Obtain the 'Hunyuan Ding']

[Obtain "Two-Unlike"]

[Obtain the Dragon Transformation Pill]

[Obtain "Three Jin White Flour Steamed Buns"]

.........

"Ha ha ha ha."

Yang He couldn't help but burst into laughter, and felt extremely happy in his heart.

Although it was a bit of a pity for the storyteller and his relationship as a master and disciple with Jiang Ziya might be cut off, the gains this time could completely make up for the loss.

Yang He exchanged the black cat to the main world.

Meow! !

The black cat was just facing the fear brought by Li Jing, but suddenly its fur stood on end and it kept breathing out towards the door of the wing room.

After a while, it slowly calmed down and crawled at Yang He's feet.

"Kuroko."

Yang He stroked the black cat's head and communicated with it secretly.

As a method of beast refining, the Four-Unlike-Beast has established a connection with the Black Cat through the Dragon Pill. As long as the latter does not resist, it can directly sense the mustard seed space in the shadow.

The mustard seed space was pitch black, with some miscellaneous items stored in it.

Yang He estimated for a long time and confirmed that it was more than enough to accommodate the bottom floor of the pagoda.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate. If the black cat hadn't been promoted to the evil ghost realm, he would have had to exchange the bottom floor of the pagoda for spiritual vision, which was a pity.

“Exchange to the main world.”

Yang He's mind moved slightly, and suddenly the bottom floor of the pagoda appeared in the mustard seed space.

The bottom floor of the pagoda radiates a faint golden light, which gives people the illusion of cleansing their consciousness. If they stare at it for a long time, it may even affect their mind.

"It is indeed a Buddhist thing, worthy of being created by the Taoist Master Ran Deng."

The black cat shook its head uncomfortably, but fortunately the mustard seed space could block the Buddha's light.

"It's a pity that the upper limit of the Sibu Xiang is the evil ghost realm."

Yang He showed self-mockery again. The evil ghost was the most terrifying evil spirit he had ever encountered. The promotion of the Four-Beast was very safe, which meant that as long as the black cat did not die, the evil ghost would be a sure thing.

“Perhaps after becoming an immortal, he will continue to innovate the Four-Unlike-Beast.”

Yang He suppressed his distracting thoughts and noticed that there were some blood stains on the surface of the bottom floor of the pagoda, which were all caused by the storyteller's forced blood refining before his death.

In fact, the storyteller had almost died before Li Jing drew his sword.

In order to refine the bottom layer of the pagoda, Yang He exhausted all the blood of the storyteller in one breath and forced a weak connection with the artifact.

There is no other way. If you want to exchange your harvest to the main world, you must control it yourself.

"With the loss of the Linglong Pagoda, it may be difficult for Li Jing to become a disciple of Master Ran Deng again. It's hard to say, Master Ran Deng can't guess."

"But one thing is certain, Li Jing must have been greatly affected."

As the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, Li Jing's Linglong Pagoda is, in plain terms, the fundamental thing given to him by the Taoist Master Randeng. Its importance can be imagined.

"But."

"It is still unknown whether Nezha can escape. Hey, Nezha has been imprisoned in Linglong Pagoda for three years. I am afraid he has run out of energy."

Yang He couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.

He deliberately buried the corpse boy's coffin right below the Linglong Pagoda, making it impossible for outsiders to find it. With the nourishment of the rich yin energy of the Dragon King Temple, it would be complete in half a day.

But the problem is, who knows what the situation will be like in half a day.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."

"Anyway, Li Jing can't do anything to Nezha, and with the dragon disaster looming, it's impossible to take care of both."

Yang He exchanged the sundries for spiritual vision, leaving only the tripod and the only remaining dragon-transforming pill, and then checked the information on the bottom floor of the pagoda.

[The bottom floor of the ruined Linglong Pagoda]

[Originally it was a mid-grade Yin treasure refined by the Taoist Master Ran Deng, but after only the bottom layer was left it became a fake Yin treasure. After refining it, it can be large or small and can be used to seal ghosts.]

[The incomplete bottom layer of the exquisite pagoda can be exchanged for 291.5 spiritual vision]

"Fake Yin treasure, it seems that the seven-story exquisite pagoda is already very close to the top-grade Yin treasure."

Above the Yin treasure should be the supreme treasure, and there seems to be a distinction between acquired and innate. The fake Yin treasure is the limit of Yang He's ability to drive the object.

Yang He continued to refine the bottom layer of the pagoda. Compared with the storyteller, it was obviously less laborious to transform his corpse into an immortal body.

It just so happened that the weather has been cold and gloomy recently, and Cai Jia was deeply affected.

Old man Yang did not ask Yang He to join him in purchasing seasonal vegetables. He spent the past few days trying to find ways to expand his business and to gather information from various sources.

Yang He would occasionally let the black cat follow Old Man Yang, and would ignore it once he was sure there was no danger.

Two days later.

Yang He could barely activate the bottom layer of the pagoda. The fake Yin treasure was too advanced for the evil ghost realm. He had to wait until he reached the fierce ghost realm to use it as easily as his own arm.

He then summoned the bottom floor of the pagoda.

The simple bottom of the tower appeared in the palm of his hand, and traces of destruction left by Nezha could be seen.

"go."

The bottom floor of the pagoda hangs above the head, with a faint Buddhist light revealed.

"It should be able to last for a quarter of an hour, even if it is a corpse-reincarnated immortal body. If it is an ordinary evil ghost, it will be drained by the fake Yin treasure in a few breaths."

Yang He turned into a melon seed-sized body and sank into the bottom floor of the pagoda. The exquisite pagoda was a defensive treasure that could not only seal away evil spirits, but also allow one to avoid danger by hiding in the pagoda.

Li Jing relied on the turtle shell of Linglong Pagoda to survive until the end of the Conferred God Ceremony.

Yang He looked around the tower.

The decoration inside looks like a Buddhist meditation room, with straw mats on the floor, a futon in the middle, and a dozen books on a wooden shelf in the corner.

"hehe."

A calligraphy piece with the word "Jing" (quiet) is hung on the wall, signed by Li Jing.

Yang He thought it was abnormal that his own son was being burned by the karmic fire at the top of the tower while Li Jing was pretending to cultivate his body and mind at the bottom of the tower.

The ghost opened his eyes, wanting to see if there was anything valuable.

As a result, severe pain came and the glass membrane couldn't help but crackle.

Yang Hecai noticed that a few wisps of smoke were wafting from the eight oil lamps in the Zen room. After sensing the pupil ghost, they actually took the initiative to burn the glass membrane.

He had a strange expression on his face as he discovered that the pupil ghost not only did not resist, but became restless.

"Is this the relic mentioned in the Linglong Pagoda?"

While Yang He was trying to comfort the pupil ghost, he moved closer to check the oil lamp.

There is a purple tumor soaked in the oil lamp. The lamp oil is continuously secreted by the tumor and is likely the source of the burning karma.

【Relic】

[The Yin objects generated when the eminent monk passed away contain all the evil thoughts that were not satisfied during his lifetime. They can be refined through the "Burning Dao" and can cause the fire of karma to burn after being consumed.]

Yang He carefully guided the smoke and dust to burn the pupil ghost.

The colored glaze membrane gradually couldn't bear the weight and seemed to be destroyed at any time, but then a new layer of five-colored colored glaze membrane was born.

"It seems that there is a lot of information that is not recorded in the Three Heavens Miaowei Tianyan. The colored glaze membrane created by ordinary Yin objects is far inferior to the relics."

Yang He suddenly felt terrified and licked his dry lips.

"In Western Buddhism, if the relics of great monks are resources for spiritual practice, then wouldn't ordinary people become consumables?"

Yang He summoned the ghost hand and took away the eight relics.

The oil lamp itself is just a low-grade Yin device, its function is to hold relics, but it can be used to burn the eyes for practice and let the smoke and dust be released slowly.

Yang He continued to rummage through the boxes and took out more than a dozen books from the bottom floor of the pagoda.

He took advantage of the surplus Yin energy to return to the wing room. Even though the bottom layer of the pagoda could be shrunk and swallowed into the stomach for preservation, he still put it into the mustard seed space.

The main thing is that it's a bit scary to think about it, what if I accidentally lose control and burst my stomach.

Yang He roughly scanned the books and found that they were all Buddhist scriptures, and Li Jing would often read them and even make detailed annotations.

Buddhism had not yet emerged in the West, and the Buddhist scriptures were obviously donated by the Taoist Master Dipankara.

Yang He frowned as he discovered that the pages of one of the scriptures were damaged, and Li Jing was repairing it meticulously.

The name of the scripture is "The Sutra of the Causes and Conditions of the Reincarnation of the Spiritual Child".

The entire content talks about how to make the baby in the womb have a connection with Buddhism, including but not limited to intervening in the time of the baby's birth to influence the birth date, chanting scriptures for the baby every day, and offering sacrifices.

In this way, even if the baby is not a reincarnated child, he will have a deep connection with Buddhism.

"..."

Yang He's face was filled with astonishment. He could not imagine Li Jing's mentality at all. It seemed as if he was preparing to use his third son to submit to Buddhism.

"No wonder..."

"The Li family is a large family with a history of a hundred years in Chentang Pass. Li Jing gave surnames to his subordinates, but his third son got such an unconventional name."

The Buddhist scriptures also mention that the word "吒" is commonly used in the name of the guardian deity, and it is also the first tongue tone of the five types of sounds in Western Buddhism.

"Li Jing has great ambitions. Does he want to become a Buddha and let his third son be the guardian deity?"

Yang He thought about it carefully.

In the original work, Jin Zha seemed to become a disciple of Manjusri Bodhisattva, who became Manjusri Bodhisattva of Western Buddhism after being deified.

Master Mu Zha should be Samantabhadra, also known as Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

The letter of surrender was really cruel. He even sold out his son. Otherwise, how could Li Jing be qualified to become the disciple of Master Ran Deng?

"No wonder Li Jing hates Nezha so much. The evil spirit is only one reason. The main reason is that Nezha is out of control and becomes a disciple of Taiyi Zhenren."

The more Yang He thought about it, the more he felt that Li Jing was mentally ill. When Nezha was in the ghost lotus, he reshaped his body. If he hadn't intervened, Li Jing would have sent his corpse to the Lingjiu Mountain of the Taoist Master Ran Deng.

"It seems that the exquisite pagoda is most likely the work of the Taoist Master Ran Deng."

"In the original work, Li Jing did not become a member of Western Buddhism after he was deified. This is probably because Nezha did not become a Buddhist."

Yang He suppressed his distracting thoughts, as he could not see clearly the game between the three religions.

From the perspective of the orthodox school, Nezha does need to be imprisoned for three years to eliminate his evil nature, after all, the latter is very crucial in the Conferred Gods.

Yang He took out the oil lamp, put a relic on it and started to practice the Burning Eyes.

"Practice in the main world for a while to replenish the number of times you can bury the ghost in water."

The glazed membrane was damaged and the relics melted bit by bit. One could see that the inside of the tumor was filled with blood vessels and meridians, forming a dense network of the word "greed".

Yang He's state of mind was affected, but after having faced the saint directly, the mere greed seemed insignificant, and he could calm it down by selling vegetables occasionally.

After consuming two relics, the first layer of glazed membrane of the pupil ghost was regenerated, presenting a colorful glow.

Yang He also incorporated the dragon skin into his leather Taoist robe.

The leather Taoist robe is still a top-grade Yin device, but it is still a long way from becoming a Yin treasure. It cannot be obtained with a large amount of resources and requires a lot of hard work.

Ten days passed by like a flash.

The layout of the yamen was gradually improved, and the temperature in Jialiang Water Town began to warm up.

The giant hungry ghost opened its bloody mouth. The number of mortals who froze to death decreased sharply, and its appetite was not satisfied. It suddenly became impatient and uneasy.
