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

Chapter 809 The Ascetic Monks in the Oasis

Only then did the big man in yellow realize how powerful he was. He stamped his foot and his whole body sank into the sand with a "dong" sound.

The sand undulated slightly, and then a trace squirmed quickly. A sword light pierced through the air, and in the middle of the undulating sand, a fountain-like blood gushed out, and there was no movement after a moment.

This big man in yellow had also learned simple five-element escape techniques such as earth escape. He originally wanted to escape with earth escape, but he still couldn't escape.

Several large bird-like shadows fell from mid-air. As soon as they fell, a gust of wind blew past, stirring up small vortexes in the dust on the ground.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

These sword cultivators pointed their hands, and several more sword beams were fired at them, killing all the fleeing cultivators.

Compared with these casual cultivators, these sword cultivators are very powerful. Each of them can control several sword lights. Each sword light has spirituality. With a thought, they can divide and track the enemy. This is much more powerful.

"Dazun Castle..."

Everything that happened in front of He Ping was a tragic massacre, but when he heard the name of Dazunbao, he was not too surprised.

Dazunbao, a heretical sect that specializes in sword-making, has always been rather arrogant. If loose cultivators can form a sect, they must have the foundation.

This sword-refining sect is good at imprisoning living souls and breaking them into flying swords, and their methods are quite ruthless.

"A group of casual cultivators who are as weak as garbage dare to come here to seek revenge."

One of the young sword cultivators leaned over and picked up the jade ring. He frowned slightly.

"What kind of rubbish is this? It's just a tattered algorithm?"

"What? Isn't it a good thing?"

Another companion asked doubtfully.

"The quality is poor and the aura is weak."

The sword cultivator snorted coldly and threw the jade ring finger into the sand.

"Then there's no need to throw it away, right?"

Of course, the person who said this didn't bother to pick it up, but instead searched the scattered luggage of the dead ones.

"Hey, they are all a bunch of poor people, but at least they have a few Yin Shou Pills. Killing them won't be a big loss."

They searched several bags and luggage, but couldn't find anything good. The only thing that could be considered good was the Yin Shou Dan.

This kind of elixir can be converted into magic power and can also repair injuries. It is of great benefit to both practicing monks and casual cultivators.

"Let's go!"

This group of monks from Da Zun Castle were preparing to fly into the air with their swords. Unexpectedly, they were only halfway through the flight when they were injured by a dense rain of arrows and fell from the air.

"who is it?"

These casual cultivators did not expect an enemy ambush. Several of them were hit by arrows and fell into a sand pit.

"Damn it...it's the Earth Mother Divine Arrow of the Yunjia Sect, specializing in breaking spiritual light."

Someone pulled out the arrow from his leg and gritted his teeth in pain.

Originally, Dazunbao's flying sword technique could also generate body-protecting spiritual light and avoid flying arrows, which was not difficult. But the enemy also knew this and specifically used the Earth Mother Divine Arrow of the Yunjia Sect.

"be careful."

One of the older monks from Dazunbao pulled out the arrow from his arm.

"It's also coated with the poison of the Chaos God Flower. Don't try to treat the injury with ordinary wound medicine. Stop the bleeding first and then break out..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter came from outside the sand pit.

"Elder Li, your Majesty's Fort has always been majestic, shouting and killing every day, even if you run rampant in the corners of the East China Sea Road, you have always been stubborn when you ran into this desert. I really thought that everyone was going to defeat you. "

"'The clouds are drifting and the rain is drifting' Sun Wangyan."

The monk known as Elder Li shouted loudly: "Our Dazunbao and your Yunjia sect are in the east and west. The two sides usually have nothing to do with each other, so why bother to force each other?!"

The Yunjia Sect is a little-known sect on the Western Wilderness Road, famous for its talismans and methods of refining "magic weapons".

It can be inferred that this was a small sect originally related to the Hunyuan Sect. It was originally rooted in a remote place on the Western Wilderness Road for generations.

Just because the Qiang rebels of Guo Ding, the "Seven Appearing Dragon Kings", made a big fuss, the Yunjia Sect had no choice but to leave the Western Wasteland and move to the Mobei region. They don't know what happened this time. He ran into the desert opposite the Snow Mountain in the Western Wilderness, and seemed to be planning to plot the so-called Six Paths Treasure.

Elder Li did not expect that the Yunjia sect would be ambushing him.

As far as he knew, the Yunjia Sect was not good at Taoist methods, but was good at creating various magic weapons. In addition to using it yourself, you can also sell it.

There are some problems with the inheritance of their kind of casual cultivating sect. The Yunjia Sect is no different. They can only refine magical weapons and know nothing about magical weapons.

This sect can refine aura-breaking arrows, defensive leather armor, and other items. In addition, it can also make some traps.

They often communicate with some expatriate monks and sell some simple magic weapons, which is considered a relatively peaceful sect.

In fact, the Yunjia Sect's magic weapons are quite good. Even the Demon Slayer Department of the imperial court often trades with them to buy some magic weapons for their own use.

What the Yunjia Sect is most proud of is the "Earth Mother Divine Arrow" that specializes in breaking the aura of monks. This kind of arrow does not require manual work and can be ejected using mechanical objects. It can also be fired fixedly as long as it is accurate to the target.

The group of people in Dazunbao had obviously fallen into a trap. They were lured here by this group of casual cultivators who acted as bait, and only then were they shot with the arrows set by the Goddess of Earth.

"Elder Li, why do you have to say such things?"

The monk named Sun Wangyan retorted: "Your sect has killed a lot of fellow cultivators these days. Do you really think that this desert is the hunting ground of your Majesty's Castle?"

Sun Wangyan's tone was sinister.

"I, Sun Wangyan, have a disciple who was just searching for the whereabouts of the Buddhist Holy City in this desert half a month ago without provoking you. As a result, his head was cut off by your sect's flying sword. And this half month ago, except for our Yunyan sect, "How many casual cultivators are being slaughtered by you like ants and grasshoppers?"

His voice changed, and he said with dignity: "Today, it is not our Yunjia Sect who wants to cause trouble for you, but we are uniting with the Gejiang Sect, Liu Yan Sect, Kongshi Sect and other sects, as well as thirty-two casual cultivators. , we will cause trouble for you together.”

"That's right," another voice rang out, saying: "The powerful Taoist of Dazunbao, your sect has gone against the grain, and it can be said that you have offended the public. If you want to escape from here today, you will inevitably have a bloody battle."

"Qiu Shuicheng, the leader of Gejiang Sect?"

Elder Li was shocked. This was also a famous casual cultivator. He couldn't help shouting: "Could it be that Sun Changmen of Liu Yan Sect and Kongshi Taoist from Kongshi Sect are also here?"

"Elder Li, it's too late for you to beg for mercy now."

"Pindao is right here, waiting for Elder Li to come..."

The angry voices of the two heads of Liu Yan Sect and Kong Shi Sect also made all the disciples of Dazunbao present feel a sudden chill in their hearts.

"It seems that this is a prepared killing array."

At this moment, Elder Li could only smile bitterly: "Everyone, let's use our swords in different directions to break out. Can we escape one by one?"

After he finished speaking, he shouted loudly and rushed out with his sword light. After him, other disciples of Dazunbao also fled in different directions with their sword light, and there were shouts of killing all around.

The jade ring that He Ping hid was thrown back into the sand, and no one seemed to notice the special features of this jade ring.

"Is it really the Six Paths Treasure? So this is the reason why this group of people appeared here?"

During the Buddhist Three Vehicles and Five Meridians Dharma Assembly that day, Longxiangxian Buddha claimed that Buddhism would announce the exact location of Kalinga, a holy city in the desert in the past, and also explained the treasures of the Six Paths in the holy city.

It is said that this treasure is one of the many Buddhist treasures buried by Chandragupta, the "Great Sun Martial Lord" who was originally sealed.

Originally, this matter should have been resolved after the Three Vehicles and Five Meridians Dharma Assembly, because the three Dharma Kings who presided over the Dharma Assembly at that time, including Dragon Elephant Buddha, Ajanita and Shanhui Tian, ​​all claimed that after the Dharma Assembly ended, , will tell you the ins and outs of this matter.

It's a pity that Longxiang Xianfo disappeared inexplicably at the end of the battle, and the other Buddhist masters seemed to be missing as well.

However, this matter is still very tempting to the world of cultivation. After getting the relevant information, someone dug up the rumors about the holy city Jilinga. It seems that this treasure is not just an empty talk, but there is indeed something. thing.

"Six Paths Treasure?"

He Ping thought secretly. As far as he knew, this was not a real thing at all. The holy city of Jialinga gradually fell apart after the seal of the Great Sun Martial Lord, just like a carved castle in the sand.

It was also at this point in time that it was gradually divided into the Pratyekabuddha Vehicle, the Shravaka Vehicle and the Bodhisattva Vehicle, the three main branches of the Buddha lineage. If there really is any treasure of the Six Paths, it is impossible for the little stone Buddha not to know about it.

It can be seen that there must be someone behind this incident, but I don’t know who is behind it...

He Ping thought about it and realized that this matter had little to do with him, so he continued to recuperate and try to recover as much as possible from his injuries.

I don't know if his position is a bit special. In the past few days, there have been monks flying around from time to time, constantly escaping from the light. The people coming and going should be monks who come here to hunt for treasures.

From time to time, there are also the sounds of arguments, shouts, curses, explosions and fights. It can be seen that this area should be the core area for many monks to search for traces of the Holy City.

"Do these people really think they can find the whereabouts of the Holy City?"

He Ping shook his head secretly. Even if they were very lucky and found the whereabouts of the Holy City, they would not be able to find any six treasures.

"maybe."

He thought to himself in his heart: "The casual cultivators are not fools. If there is really no benefit at all... these people will not come here at all. It should be something happening here that really convinced these people that this ghost place What a treasure.”

He Ping thought to himself that there must be a conspirator behind this secret arrangement and planning, and the other party's methods are also quite clever.

He felt that the matter of the Six Paths Treasures was not necessarily done by Emperor Taiwang, Aghanizha and the others. At least it could attract a large number of loose immortals to come over, which was enough to prove that the other party's methods were not simple.

I don’t know how many more days have passed, maybe seven or eight days have passed, and the surrounding area has become a lot calmer.

He Ping was slowly recuperating his strength and restoring his perfect immortality. Suddenly, a hand stretched out, picked up his jade ring, and carefully brushed off the dust on it.

"So beautiful, is this a baby?"

It was a slightly immature voice, obviously coming from a child.

Suddenly, another old finger reached out from the side and grabbed the jade ring finger.

It was an old man, his face was full of wrinkles, and his face looked older than his age. He took the jade ring from the child, examined it carefully, and shook his head bitterly.

"The quality is extremely poor, and the spirituality is almost non-existent... let alone the material of a magic weapon, even if it is mixed together and refined, it will drag down other spiritual materials and waste a lot of hard work."

"Yeah?"

The child secretly thought it was a pity, but he turned to look at the old man again.

"So, can I keep this thing?"

He took a fancy to the jade ring finger, which was crystal clear and moist, and thought that even if it was not a good treasure, it was still a good jade material.

"whatever?"

The old man explored the surrounding sand and suddenly pulled out a broken sword.

"It's a good sword, but it's a pity that it was broken in half... But this sword should be made of coral gold from the East China Sea, as well as several other spiritual materials. If you take it back and refine it again, you can also refine it into a magical weapon."

This old man's eyes were cloudy and covered with a layer of white. He was obviously blind. However, he could find broken swords buried in the sand at will. His ability to detect spiritual ideas was very outstanding.

To say the least, even if he can't see with his eyes, his soul is very agile and can sense all kinds of fluctuations around him.

"I have gained quite a lot today... However, those monks from Dayou have gone to explore the ruins of the holy city of Kushinagar. There are still people digging here and there. I just hope they won't cause any trouble again?"

The blind old man murmured to himself, and with his inadvertent exposure of his hand, He Ping saw some hidden secrets and flaws.

"This old guy is a Zen practitioner. He should be a Buddhist monk from the local oasis city-state settlement."

He Ping also knew that there are still some sporadic Buddhist teachings that are still spread in a few oases in this vast desert. They are different from the authentic Buddhist teachings that have spread to Zhonghuan, Donghai and Daxiye Kingdom. These are ancient teachings. Part of it, including "Vipassana" and "The Art of Samadhi".

These are the methods of meditation and asceticism to achieve supernatural powers. They are relatively difficult to practice, and because they are invisibly hindered by the way of heaven, although they can develop some magical powers, they are not the correct method and cannot enter the Tao.

However, these teachings are also relatively popular in oasis city-states. This blind old man should be a practitioner of Vipassana. His every move has profound Zen charm. His body has undergone "Samadhi" asceticism, and his soul has also been polished. It's just that Without the core teachings of Buddhism, otherwise there would be a chance to make a breakthrough and achieve enlightenment in one fell swoop.

"Let's go back!"

The old man said hello, and the child happily hid the jade ring finger in his arms and picked up a huge snail-like beast of burden next to him before the sun went down. An old man and a young man walked in one direction towards the end of the stretching sand dunes.
