From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Help me find my eyes and brain."

# Chapter 1021 Buddha's Message to Kasyapa —

Brain and eyes?

Apart from the first generation Jiang Liu, the others looked at the crystal corpse again and, upon closer inspection, found that the two organs were indeed missing.

"It should be the work of the Samsara Sect, one of the remnants of the Demon Kingdom."

Silver-eyed nun sighed, but her tone revealed a hint of hatred and helplessness. "In order to revive the Demon Kingdom, they dug a passage and carved into the nine-story divine tower, taking away the gold and silver from the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors as the foundation for establishing the Reincarnation Sect and the Guge Dynasty."

Then, they used a secret technique to take away the eyes and brain of the first Ghost Mother without damaging Crystal Free Mountain.

They must be trying to use the Demon Mother's demonic eyes to unleash the power of 'Transformation of Realms' and recreate the Evil Luo Hai City from the Demon Mother's memories...

In short, I must retrieve the Demon Eyes and the Brain and return them to the Ghost Mother before I can use that secret technique to completely liberate her.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions were puzzled.

The first generation Jiang Liu said, "Alright, let the Silver-Eyed Nun stay behind, with five lamas guarding her. The rest of you will come with me to search for the Demon Mother's demonic eyes and brain further down."

How do I get there?

Just as Zhang Zhiwei asked the question, he saw the first generation Jiang Liu walk to a wall, punch it, smash a large hole, and reveal a deep passage.

"Go this way."

"..."

Thus, the seven members of the first generation—Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, Zhang Zhiwei, Partridge Whistle, Old Foreigner, Hua Ling, and Shiwu—descended down the cave entrance in turn.

Only the Silver-Eyed Nun and five lamas remained in the ninth-floor demon tower.

"Let's take action."

At the command of the Silver-Eyed Nun, five lamas sat cross-legged around Crystal Free Mountain, took off their clothes, and each had a brand on the back of their neck that looked like a ghost eye.

“????、???、?、??、?、?”

As strange incantations emerged, black lines spread from the ghost eye curse patterns on the back of the five lamas' necks, covering their entire bodies, and their eyes transformed into something as deep as the Silver-Eyed Nun.

Immediately, five black torrents emerged from the ghost eye curse patterns on the back of their necks, entered the Crystal Free Mountain, and flowed with the fluctuations within, surging into the crystal corpse. After circulating once, they gathered at the center of its brow, causing it to crack and reveal a pattern resembling a dragon or a phoenix.

"The foundation for boundless divine power is complete!"

"Let's see if this 'knife' can retrieve the demon's eyes and brain!"

"I hope that the presence that makes Him feel threatened won't disappoint me!"

Upon realizing this, the Silver-Eyed Nun silently recited the mantra "????、???、?、??、?、?" Her deep eyes faintly revealed lotus-shaped patterns shimmering with purple light...

···

"Brother Jiang, that silver-eyed nun clearly wants to do something with the body of the first Ghost Mother. Why are you letting her have her way?"

Leaving the Nine-Story Demon Tower, Lu Jin followed the passage downwards, puzzled, and asked for an explanation.

"Didn't she also realize that we clearly wanted her to do something with the body of the First Demon Mother?" First Generation Jiang Liu asked with a smile.

"Don't use tongue twisters."

Zhang Zhiwei was speechless. "What exactly happened?"

What is our goal?

The first generation Jiang Liu did not rush to answer, but instead asked a question in return.

"Suppress and eliminate the Serpent God, that 'deity' that may come from another world, and end the curse on Partridge Whistle and the others, so as to solve the problem once and for all."

Zhang Zhiwei replied, "In addition to that, there's now an extra task: to find your lost primordial spirit."

As for finding the demon mother's eyes and brain—

He didn't care at all.

"My primordial spirit was fighting with the snake god, which kept the snake god from interfering in our affairs."

The battle between the primordial spirit and the snake god is beyond your imagination; it is a contest at the level of the mind, transcending dimensions, and is something that ordinary people simply cannot interfere with.

If I intervene, whether I genuinely want to help or am trying to sabotage, it will distract me from Him.

Therefore, I, in this physical body, will simply work with you to do what needs to be done in reality.

And the silver-eyed nun...

Whatever she's up to, whether it's to help the snake god or has other ulterior motives, it will only distract the snake god.

It's all in our favor, and in 'my' favor."

Lu Jin, Zhang Zhiwei, and Partridge Whistle suddenly realized what was going on.

in short.

Silver Eye Temple originated from the Samsara Sect, which was built by a branch of the Demon Kingdom's remnants. Therefore, the eyes of the Silver Eye Nun must have an inextricable connection with the Bottomless Ghost Cave, the Muchen Pearl, and so on.

Therefore.

Whatever her purpose, as long as she uses the power of those eyes in this Kunlun Dragon Peak land, it will distract the Serpent God.

The battle that exists in another dimension is unimaginable to them, but it must be extremely intense, allowing no room for distraction.

The slightest misstep could tip the scales of victory.

"Is that nun from the demon side?"

Fifteen only then realized what was happening, her eyes wide, her mouth agape, a look of utter disbelief on her face. "How could a nun be a demon?"

This moment.

He felt his faith had crumbled.

The Buddha said to Kasyapa:

Seven hundred years after my Nirvana, Mara will gradually try to undermine my true Dharma.

Just as a hunter wears monastic robes, so too does Mara, the demon king, appear as a monk, a nun, a layman, or a laywoman. He also transforms into the body of a Stream-Enterer, and even into the body of an Arhat or a Buddha.

"The Demon King, in this flawed form, disguises himself as an unblemished being, and thus corrupts my true Dharma."

Based on his memories, the first generation Jiang Liu quoted from scriptures and said, "This is a sentence from the seventh chapter of the Mahaparinirvana Sutra, the chapter on the nature of the Tathagata."

Buddha is an enlightened being.

Even those who are not enlightened can form a religion when they gather together, thus becoming a group with interests. If one can acknowledge this, it is acceptable, as it can be considered a form of spiritual practice in the mortal world.

But if one were to further adorn it with various precepts and doctrines, and proclaim the greatness of the Buddha, then one would simply be a demon in disguise.

Upon hearing this, Fifteen suddenly understood.

It's not that Buddha has a problem, it's that there are people with ulterior motives among the lamas and nuns!

And now-

He was fifteen, yet he was listening to the teachings of the "Living Buddha"!

Seeing this, the first generation Jiang Liu felt a sense of helplessness, but then he pondered a question: would he, in his 1749th tribulation, also feel helpless when facing this kind of person?

It's highly unlikely...

"You're clearly talking about Buddhism, but why do I feel like it's also subtly incorporating Taoism?"

Zhang Zhiwei spoke, pulling Jiang Liu, the first generation, back to reality.

In these times, some Taoist temples of the Zhengyi and Quanzhen schools, such as the Celestial Master's Mansion, Baiyun Temple, Wudang, Longmen, and Maoshan, were willing to alleviate some of the burden on the tenant farmers at the foot of the mountains. However, most other temples continued as before, and some even occasionally exploited the farmers to ensure they remained secluded and survived the chaos of the times...

how to say?

Without actually going down the mountain, Zhang Zhiwei wouldn't know the extent to which his fellow practitioners outside Longhu Mountain could achieve diversity.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's a "chaotic dance of gods and demons"!

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Zhiwei gradually came to accept Jiang Liu's idea that extraordinary people should be returned to humanity...

# Chapter 1022 Blood Bait Fruit

"I have no ulterior motives, so don't take it personally."

The first generation Jiang Liu shouldn't be blamed for this.

Zhang Zhiwei wasn't really angry; he just made a slight joke and sighed, then stopped asking questions and focused on the road ahead.

The passage was downhill, and after walking for nearly a hundred meters, the group could no longer see any glaciers. They found themselves on solid ground and arrived at a spacious cave.

Thick ice crystals hung upside down from the ceiling, resembling glaciers or crystal ore. Clusters of crystal stones also grew on the surrounding walls, sparkling and emitting a soft glow, illuminating this underground space.

Not far away, there is an underground river that reflects the brilliance of the crystal stones on the cave ceiling and surrounding walls, creating a shimmering, dreamlike scene.

"Even the most blessed lands and grotto heavens could not surpass this!"

Looking at the sparkling crystal and listening to the babbling river, Zhang Zhiwei took another deep breath, feeling as if every cell in his body was cheering and his spirits were lifted. He couldn't help but exclaim, "The vitality here is unbelievably rich!"

With each breath, one feels refreshed and invigorated. If a cultivator could reside in this place, their spiritual cultivation would surely advance rapidly!

It's a pity, though. Cultivation isn't just about improving one's physical strength and cultivation level. Living far from the world, spending years in such a place, makes one no different from a stone or a piece of wood!

He only understood this principle after he actually went down the mountain. You see, at the beginning, when he fought with Jiang Liu during the Ghost Hand King's withdrawal ceremony, he still "guided" him to focus on cultivating his life force.

Now I'll experience it for myself—

Good guy!

The improvement gained from practicing hard on the mountain is not as great as the improvement gained from experiencing it at the foot of the mountain!

of course.

The premise is that one must always maintain a stable mind and stay true to one's original intention; otherwise, let alone spiritual practice, it would be a feat to avoid going astray.

"There's a snow-covered Maitreya Buddha in the river!"

When the old man saw the river, he took out his water bag to fetch some water, but then he exclaimed in surprise.
