Seeking immortality in a deceitful way starts by making oneself into a puppet

Chapter 810: The old law is broken, the new law is established

Here is endless desolation.

The sand dunes are connected to the sand dunes. When trekking among them, you can only see the withered yellow color in the distance. There seems to be no plants, no animals, and no breath of life.

However, in this vast desert, there are also scattered oases scattered all over the place. This is a miracle in the desert. The little boy and the old man live in one of the hundreds of oasis city-states scattered all over the place. In the city.

This is a city, but it is just a low city wall. It is an earth city. It is called Mukta, which means pearl and also symbolizes the place of purity.

The blind old man is the only master in this city. He has a very special identity and is considered to have extraordinary powers. He can divination, pray and heal, and help the people living in the oasis.

In this desert, every master is loved by the people, and even the city lord must abide by etiquette when meeting them.

Ah Yue is the disciple of this blind old man and the child of a lowly serf in the city.

Mukta is very small and not many people live there. Most of the people staying here are old people and frail women. Most of the young people have gone to the largest oasis city-states in the desert.

Those larger oasis city-states are located on the edge of the desert, close to the land of Daxiye Kingdom. This is also a famous business road and a shortcut to the hinterland of Daxiye Kingdom.

The Nidusuo Kingdom, the Dangxiang tribe, and the Rouran people used this route to pass through the iron blockade of the Tiele people and reach the Daxiye Kingdom. They often did business between Dayou and the Daxiye Kingdom, and launched multinational operations between the two big countries. trading.

For this reason, these large oasis city-states have become supply places for caravans, where the most important resource in the desert is "water."

As long as there is a water source, there is an opportunity to grow crops and feed livestock. If there is no water, even human survival has become a major problem.

The small oasis in Mukta City is less than one-tenth the size of Suian City where the He family is located. To put it bluntly, it is only the size of a town.

The daily life of the people in the city depends on a river along the way, which is controlled by the city lord of Mukta. No one can go near the river to get water without permission. The water here is very precious and truly reflects what the source of life is.

The first thing the little boy did when he returned to the city was to take the huge snail-like beast of burden to a nearby water trough facility to drink water.

This is a place dedicated to drinking water for livestock, and there are several guards guarding it. It is free for local residents, but businessmen from other places have to pay to get water.

The little boy had no surname. According to the local language, his name was Ah Yue. Ah Yue was very familiar with these guards. After saying hello, he led the snail-like beast of burden to the sink to drink water.

Beside the stone water basin, there are already several large snails raised by local people. They are stretching their necks to drink water, looking extremely leisurely.

This strange beast in the form of a snail is called a tactile beast with soft tentacles. It is actually a kind of monster, similar to the Jinqing cat monster, but with lower intelligence.

They have a strong ability to withstand hunger and thirst, can move for a long time in the desert, are not afraid of sandstorms, and can travel long distances in various extreme environments without any effort.

Moreover, the beast of burden also has a special ability. When encountering danger, it can sneak under the sand to avoid the most dangerous black sandstorms or natural enemies in the desert.

Travelers or those who keep these beasts of burden can also hide in their shells and dive with them into the sand.

You don’t have to worry about not being able to breathe when you enter deep sand. There is a kind of mucus in the huge volute that can secrete a breath that puts people into deep sleep. At this time, people will curl up in the shell like hibernation.

When the outside world is safe, the beast of burden will dig out of the thick sand with its owner to escape. For these reasons, this beast of burden has become the most common beast of burden in the desert.

Ah Yue was holding the beast while playing and stroking the jade ring she had just picked up.

The blind old man was also his mentor. His name was Xida. He was a well-known Zen master with very high attainments in meditation. When the old man returned, he used a thin red rope to string the jade ring finger on it and gave it to Ah Yue.

This also makes Ah Yue very precious. He has been playing with this jade ring ever since he returned to the city.

"Ayue, have you gone to the ruins of the holy city of Kushinagar and found anything good there?"

The guard at the sink is an older man in his forties, with a big beard and a joking smile.

"I heard that many monks from other places came to that ghost place, and they seemed to be looking for some treasure. Could this be the treasure they found?"

A guard holding a spear next to him also asked him questions.

Ah Yue immediately hid the jade ring nervously.

"I...I won't give this to you."

"You kid, we won't steal your things."

The bearded guard grinned.

"We just want to see what awesome treasure you picked up?"

"Ayue, you are really a stingy person."

The guard carrying the spear was younger than his companions. He also laughed loudly: "The desert is full of traces of the ancient holy city. However, several people have found treasures over the years. If you pick up a small piece of rags, there are What's so exciting... Did you know that the city lord found a very powerful magic weapon and sold it, and then he became the city lord of Mukta?"

"snort."

Ah Yue was a little angry: "The city lord is a big treasure, and I am a little treasure. Don't underestimate it."

The two guards were just teasing the kid, so when they saw his angry look, they couldn't help but laugh for a while.

Ah Yue was naturally unconvinced. When her home-raised beast finished drinking the water, she angrily led the big snail away.

Suddenly, at this moment, a very bright light burst out from a certain direction in the southeast corner.

This is a light that no mortal can see. Only people in the cultivation world and a few ordinary people with cultivation qualifications can sense it.

In this moment, a huge wave, like a wave that could sweep through time, space and the universe, echoed between heaven and earth. This was an idea that seemed to push the world to rotate, like a red sun rising, brilliant and vast, like the torrent of the times.

The entire time and space is trembling and vibrating, and the vast wave of thoughts that are ethereal and real are also rolling and reverberating in the void, even penetrating the long river of time and space, seemingly endless, shuttling through the dimensions.

Mixed in with this was the soliloquy of a mysterious voice.

"The law of heaven is unkind and restless, and binds all living beings with the 36 laws of entering the Tao. Now I use the law of 'great rebellion and injustice' to restrain the law of heaven. If the law of heaven is the right way, then what are the laws of the world..."

Unfortunately, not many people could hear this soliloquy.

boom!

The mysterious fluctuations were suddenly transmitted to the Three Realms and Six Paths, spreading to every corner of this vast world.

As the saying goes, "When water strikes, it becomes strong; when arrow strikes, it moves far away. When the spirit returns, it weakens, and the oscillations turn around." Everything in the world is shaking, and the boundless vibrations, just like the six vibrations when Buddha became enlightened, spread to every corner.

At this moment, Ah Yue's thoughts were hazy. Because he was holding the jade ring, his spirit was gradually affected. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.

On the main road in the city, there happened to be a carriage pulled by four horses, and it was about to rush over like lightning.

"Still don't get out of the way!"

The driver driving the horse shouted, his face turned pale. At this moment, a strong air current tore through the dense grass and shrubs on the roadside, crashed over like a wave, and suddenly stopped in front of Ah Yue.

boom!

There was a dull sound, and a figure flew over and finally hugged him.

…

Ah Yue was in a coma for a day and a night, and when he woke up, it was already the evening of the next day.

When he woke up, he found Master Xida beside him.

"Ayue, it seems you are finally awake."

The blind old man seemed to be keenly aware of his sobriety. He was sitting cross-legged in a mud house with a lamp burning next to him.

"You were almost hit by the city lord's carriage before. Thanks to someone, you saved your life. Come and say hello to Mr. Guan, he saved your life."

Ah Yue rubbed her eyes and suddenly found a man in black sitting cross-legged on the ground beside the straw mat where he was sleeping.

"My name is Guanqiu."

The young man smiled slightly: "He is a disciple of the Daoqi lineage. Hello, Ayue."

"Hello, Brother Guan."

Ah Yue was a little surprised.

"Thank you for saving me... Also, how did I do it, I fell asleep for no reason."

Guanqiu and the blind old man seemed to have troubled expressions, but neither of them explained. Master Xida just said calmly: "You are not seriously ill, you are just temporarily frightened. You will be fine if you wake up."

The old man smiled slightly and touched his head.

"Ayue, you must be hungry too, right? I prepared some food for you before. Get up and eat quickly."

"OK."

Ah Yue was unexpectedly naive. His stomach was indeed empty. If Master Xida hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have been able to remember it.

After hearing the old man reminding him that he had prepared food, he didn't think too much, so he slowly got up and went to find some food outside the earthen house to fill his stomach.

At the same time, Guanqiu and Master Xida were obviously chatting, but Ah Yue couldn't understand what they said.

"Jushi Guan, are you here also about the treasure of the Six Paths?"

The blind old man said calmly: "To be honest, I have been in the desert for so many years and have never heard any news related to the Six Paths Treasure. Whether this matter is true or false is really full of unknowns. number."

"I know that too."

Guan Qiu also showed a cautious look, and he mused: "It's just that I bear the heavy responsibility of the master, and it is necessary to conduct an investigation on this matter. In the desert, with the dynasty founded by the ancient Sun Wuzun, There are many ruins related to the holy city, but when it comes to understanding these ruins, only the Zen master’s lineage has a good grasp of them. This is why I came here to seek help from the master.”

"Yeah?"

The blind old man held a string of rosary beads in his hand. He recited a few Buddhist chants silently and sighed: "Principal Guan came to me for help with the iron order from my master's sect. I can't refuse this matter, but during this time , many outsiders came to the desert, and these people were also secretly exploring.

As far as I know, some of them are definitely not good people. The Navaratna Canyon you are going to, also known as Devil's Canyon, is a forbidden place. Although there is also a holy place there, if you go there without permission, you will inevitably touch it. Charm. "

"Forbidden place? Demonic enchantment?"

Guan Qiu asked in confusion: "What exactly is there in that place?"

"In the past, when the Nanda dynasty was established, many kingdoms in the oasis were destroyed. Although Chandragupta later converted to Buddhism and chose to implement benevolent policies, the murders committed in the past have not disappeared."

The blind old man continued: "The Navaratna Valley is a city that was massacred by Chandragupta in the past. Before Wu Zun was enlightened, as the king of Nanda, he killed many people and massacred the whole city at every turn. population.

During the siege of the city, countless people died in his wrath. Later, Chandragupta vowed to repent and built a temple in Devil's Canyon to worship many monks and pray for the blessings of the deceased. "

A distant history was faintly revealed from the old man's mouth.

"It's just that later on, Chandragupta was bewitched by others and escaped into the devil's path. He personally slaughtered all the monks in the Devil's Canyon, used great power to break the earth's veins, and sealed the entire Buddhist temple in the earth's veins. As a result, the canyon became a A desperate situation of death, full of ferocious evil spirits and all kinds of dangers.”

"So this is what happened!?"

Guan Qiu was also very sad when he heard this. He asked other questions and discussed with the old man for a long time.

Ah Yue was indifferent to this. After he had eaten and drank enough, he found that the jade ring on his chest was a little hot, so he picked it up curiously. Suddenly, a strange voice sounded in his mind.

"Little guy, did you hear anything before you fell into coma?"

Ah Yue was startled and almost dropped the jade ring in her hand to the ground.

"You...who are you?"

"No need to speak, just think in my mind and I can hear your voice."

The voice replied somewhat casually: "I have been living in the jade ring finger."

Ah Yue looked around after hearing this. He looked around, but there was no one around. Only then did he confirm that no one was playing tricks on him.

"How come you live in the Jade Ring? No one can live here?"

"Mustard seeds can be hidden in the Sumeru... Why can't people live in the jade ring finger...?"

He Ping asked back: "You haven't answered me yet. Did you hear someone talking before you fell into coma? Did he say, 'The way of heaven is unkind and restrains all living beings with the 36 laws of entering the way'?"

"Ah, it seems there is."

Ah Yue nodded, he covered his mouth again, and answered in his mind: "But I didn't hear it clearly, and I'm not sure whether that's the case."

"Yeah?"

He Ping did not continue to ask, and he did not expect that Emperor You would cause such a big fight.

"You Emperor, when I fought against the Buddha Mother, Shadow Lord, and Wutong Demon Lord, something terrible happened..."

"It looks like! He has really changed the 36-year plan of entering the Dao established by Heaven..."

At this moment, even if he is in this jade finger, he can still use the heavenly secrets to calculate various changes in the world.

After He Ping observed the changes in the way of heaven, he suddenly sensed that among the 36 entrance methods, the "Thousand Phantasms of All Things", the entrance method, had completely disappeared. The original Taiyi Taoist Palace, which occupied the top three, all dropped by one level. , replaced by a brand-new method - the "Dragon-Slaying Method"!
