Chapter 295: Thinking about Buddhism; the first person to fall into evil?
The closer you get to the depths of the valley, the thicker the dust becomes, as if it were a natural veil, covering the true appearance of Falling Star Valley.
Zi Yiyi followed closely behind You Su, and the area that the gold paper lantern could illuminate became increasingly limited.
On the way to the attack, she had already taken the opportunity to use a voice transmission command to convey the message to the evil-fighting monks outside Luo Xing Valley, telling them the rules of the white bird's evil flight. But she still couldn't hide the panic in her heart, and there was always a feeling of being surrounded by unknown dangers.
You Su is different from her. You Su cannot see things and is not that afraid of dark environments. On the contrary, he was unusually calm, with eyes as sharp as a cheetah's, staring at the white bird Xie Sui flying in the sky. At the same time, he used the Mo Song Sword, which was almost invisible in the night, to kill the Xie Sui he collided with.
But as we go deeper into the valley, these evil spirits become more and more numerous.
This valley is like a breeding ground for evil spirits. Strange evil spirits crawl out of the soil, and they are almost so strong that it makes people sick.
Unexpected but reasonable, these evil spirits all look like terrestrial creatures, including scorpions, hares, birds...
There are even... humans!
You Su was convinced that the person in front of him was an outright evil spirit, just like the Huo Yuandi he saw in the cave that time.
But the person in front of him was not as rotten and stinky as Huo Yuandi. He was more like a living person.
He has a pure white crown, rich brocade clothes, and everything he wears is worth a lot of money. However, he has a stooped figure, a sallow complexion, and thin muscles. The corners of his clothes and trousers are all hanging down, and they are not close to the body. It feels like a countryman pretending to be a nobleman in the city.
You Su's expression condensed. This was the first time he had seen such a member of the evil god with his own eyes after Huo Yuandi. This shows that what is hidden in Falling Star Valley is at least an evil spirit at the level of evil spirits.
Zi Yiyi also stopped behind him. She couldn't tell whether the person in front of her was evil. The evil-proofing order, a wide-scale tool for detecting evil spirits, was useless in such an environment surrounded by evil spirits. But she could guess a thing or two by looking at You Su's expression, so she instantly mentioned it All the hearts and minds are prepared.
And the white bird Xie Sui in the sky had spread its wings and landed, and landed impartially on the shoulder of the person in front of him.
“If a friend comes from afar, he will be killed no matter how far away he is.”
The man in front of him raised his right hand, waved his sleeves, and showed a warm smile. His sallow face was full of wrinkles.
Zi Yiyi was a little confused, wondering why this person looked and sounded like he was welcoming them, but his words were full of hostility? Did he mispronounce it on purpose?
Just in case, she had made a secret with both hands, purple light was flowing on her fingertips, and the spell was about to be triggered.
“It’s great to have friends from far away.”
You Su was not as nervous as Zi Yiyi, so he corrected her.
The man was stunned at first, then smiled sheepishly, clasped his hands and said:
"I remembered it wrong, thank you sir for reminding me, there was almost a misunderstanding."
Zi Yiyi frowned, but still refused to use the technique. She whispered to You Su, "Don't you want to kill him?"
You Su turned to look at her and laughed loudly, "Sister Yiyi, take it back." "Sure, this person has no ill intentions towards us."
This is not like what he said to Zi Yiyi, but more like what he said to this evil man who suddenly appeared.
Zi Yiyi’s beautiful eyes flashed, but she obeyed the order and stopped.
The person in front of her was definitely related to evil spirits, but there was no sense of oppression. It was as harmless as the evil spirits Lu Xing had encountered before, so Zi Yiyi dared to stop.
"Yes, I do not mean any harm."
The person in front of him scratched his head, and his honest face actually looked a bit plain.
"Miss Young Master, just call me Laojiu. You are here to join the religion too, right?"
"To join the religion?"
Zi Yiyi was a little surprised. She didn't even know there were other people in Luo Xing Valley. religious activities. I'm afraid that the evil spirits in this grain are inseparable from this so-called religion.
"We passed by this place on our travels. We heard that there is a religious sect here and wanted to come and have a look. I wonder if Uncle Jiu could tell me what the name of this sect is?"
"I am thinking about Buddhism!"
Lao Jiu's eyes shone with excitement. When he said these four words, he felt a strong sense of pride.
"Buddhism?"
Zi Yiyi was even more surprised, "You mean, there is Buddhism here?"
"What did I lie to you for?"
< br>Lao Jiu waved his hand, seemingly dissatisfied with the girl's distrust.
You Su Jian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he also found it a bit strange.
The control over sects is very strict across the Five Continents. The Holy Mountain and the Five Immortal Ancestors are the common and only beliefs of the people of the Five Continents.
The so-called Buddhism, based on the incomplete scriptures it left behind, can be guessed that it was the biggest belief of people in the ancient chaotic era before the birth of the five great immortal ancestors.
The complexity of his teachings and the depth of his thoughts can only be glimpsed through a few words in unofficial histories, but no one has ever seen the true Buddha. After the birth of Immortal Ancestor, Buddhism disappeared.
Many scholars are full of curiosity about this mysterious Buddha, guessing that he will be the first psychic person in the world. However, the study of Buddhism can only be superficial due to lack of data. Many scholars who are obsessed with Buddhism often commit suicide and then die young.
Gradually, ‘Buddha’ has become a taboo topic, even for those who have the right to speak, and it is even less likely for the common people below to be exposed to this word.
But in the west of Zhongyuanzhou, there is Buddhism hidden in this deep valley...
"I dare to ask Uncle Jiu, I have heard of Buddhism, what is the Buddha in my mind? "What do you mean?"
Seeing You Su's interest, Lao Jiu smiled and pointed at him with his index finger:
"You have the wisdom to think about Buddha, and your wishes will come true." Think about it!”
"Are you saying that thinking about Buddha can make people's wishes come true?"
"Of course! I, Lao Jiu, always keep my word, and I am famous for it from all over the country!"
As he spoke, Lao Jiu turned around and exclaimed: "If I hadn't worshiped Buddhism, how could I have worn such gorgeous clothes?"
Zi Yiyi looked at it subconsciously. You Su glanced at him and thought, no wonder this man's temperament and clothes were so inconsistent, like a nouveau riche trying to act polite but almost causing a misunderstanding.
"Is this Buddha really that powerful? Uncle Jiu, maybe he can take us to see him?" You Su asked pretending to be enthusiastic.
"You can see it if you want, but those who want to see the true Buddha must enter my Buddhist door."
Lao Jiu shook his head. If You Su hadn't been able to see him directly, maybe he really You will feel that he is an ordinary villager, not a slave of the evil god.
"This Buddha is hidden deep in this valley. How did you find it, old man?"
"Of course it was through the word 'fate'. I followed my friend to this mountain five days ago. While digging, I accidentally saw the true Buddha and was deeply infected by the profound teachings of Buddhism. I immediately became a believer in this true Buddha."
You Su suddenly realized what was going on in the valley. That 'Thinking about Buddha' is probably the source of the evil spirits in the valley. He disguised himself as a Buddha and made all the mountain people who came to mine to become his followers and unintentionally became his dependents. I just don’t know what kind of power this ‘thinking about Buddha’ has. It can actually create the illusion that all your wishes come true...
"Looking at it this way, we are also destined people."
"Yes, it is not easy for you to pass by this place occasionally. In Buddhism, this is called meeting by chance, so you have to seize the opportunity. . Let's go, I'll take you to see the real Buddha."
Lao Jiu said and turned around to lead the way.
Zi Yiyi looked hesitant and quietly poked the back of You Su's hand with the lantern pole.
You Su sent back a reassuring look. What he was least afraid of was such false and blinding things, but Zi Yiyi was different.
Zi Yiyi bit her lower lip, "Old man, if you want us to join the religion so much, what benefits will you gain?"
The old man was also a simple and honest person before his death, but it was exposed. He did not continue to hide his thoughts and said with a smile:
"I won't lie to you, Lao Jiu. If I can lead new believers to join the religion, I will have one more chance to make a wish to the Buddha I want. But this is Luo Xing Valley. No one has come here for a long time. Who else will come except us, a bunch of desperate miners?
During the day, someone brought two women in, thinking that he was granted two wishes on the spot. , I am so envious. You two will help me, I will never let you down."
He said this with certainty, just like a simple villager, and those who didn't know thought that what he recommended to others was really some kind of treasure.
Two women?
Zi Yiyi had doubts in her heart. The Luo Xing Valley was under extremely strict jurisdiction and no outsiders could enter. Who else could these two women be besides Hua Jingshou and Tao Yaoyao?
"Could the Buddha let a greedy person become his disciple?"
Zi Yiyi complained ruthlessly, but she no longer resisted going deeper as before. If Huajing's first seat and Tao Yaoyao are in front, and Huajing's first seat is there, safety can at least be guaranteed.
Lao Jiu was also a little ashamed and explained, "I am not greedy, I just want my wife and children to live a prosperous life, but my wish has been used up. If I can recruit you, I will be next My wish is that my wife and children can come in..."
"Wouldn't it be better if you went out to pick them up yourself?" Zi Yiyi asked again.
"Since I have become a believer and have not yet completed the Dharma, how can I leave easily? What I regret most now is that I was not the first to make a wish to send my wife and children in."
Lao Jiu He shook his head, his tone extremely regretful.
"Then let me lead the way."
You Su has already taken a step forward, and it seems that he is bound to succeed in this journey of thinking about Buddha.
When Lao Jiu heard this, a smile quickly appeared on his withered face, and he walked to the front to lead the way for the two of them.
The sound of the wind gradually died down, and the tip of You Su's nose moved slightly. He could clearly smell the humidity in the air.
"Excuse me, old man, this Luo Xing Valley is so desolate, how can we quench our thirst and satisfy our hunger?"
"There is a lake in Luo Xing Valley. Even though the surroundings of the valley are dilapidated, the lakeside is still lush and green. So we eat grass and fruits to satisfy our hunger and quench our thirst with lake water.” But from what You Su knows, Luo Xing Valley is already in ruins. The existence of lakes and ponds?
But he clearly felt that the ground under his feet was getting softer, and there was definitely water.
“Could this lake be something that was imagined by the Buddha?”
“You guessed it right, or else you would have wisdom!” Lao Jiu chuckled.
At this moment, there was a flash of red light, and Zi Yiyi actually used a fire spell to attack the purple leather deer boots on her feet.
In a moment, several long and thin worms on her boots were roasted to dryness, and then turned into black water and melted into the earth.
“No, Miss!”
Lao Jiu was very anxious when he saw this, with a look of sorrow in his eyes, “These earthworms are also believers of Buddha, we are all members of the same religion. They come out of the ground and climb on our shoes to welcome us. We must not kill our fellow believers!”
“Are all those earthworms and centipedes like that?”< br>
"That's natural! Miss, remember not to attack them again! Be careful to anger the true Buddha and bring retribution!"
You Su and Zi Yiyi glanced at each other subconsciously, with twinkles in their eyes. After a moment of surprise, they finally understood why evil spirits appeared in the form of land-based creatures.
But what is the power of thinking about Buddha? Surprisingly, even such a low-level creature with extremely low intelligence would believe in him...
As Zi Yiyi walked, she observed the surrounding things more carefully.
Sure enough, green grass and tall trees gradually appeared around her, but these vegetation were beyond her imagination. They are obviously just weeds on the roadside, but they are as thick and tall as bushes. These trees rise from the ground, and their crowns are connected together, and not even a trace of moonlight can be seen.
Zi Yiyi felt that although everything here was not smelly or dirty, it was filled with an indescribable weirdness.
Finally, the two of them heard the sound of Sanskrit singing coming from the distance. It was a group of people gathering together to chant sutras and chant, and there was an inexplicable fascination.
"Put away the lantern, walk softly, don't talk, don't disturb the pure land of Buddhism. You will meet the real Buddha soon. Then you will do whatever I do, and you will say whatever I say. What."
Lao Jiu turned around and gave the final instructions, and continued to lead the way, following the direction of the Sanskrit singing.
After passing through a stone door, You Su and Zi Yiyi both opened their eyes wide, but their pupils suddenly shrank like beans——
There were fireflies all around, and they saw a group of people in extraordinary clothes. The demon's relatives all fell to the ground, knelt on a huge lotus leaf, and worshiped towards the center of the pond. They spoke plausibly and recited the scriptures neatly and loudly, revealing an ancient meaning.
And in the middle of the pond, there is a majestic Buddha!
The Buddha's body is transparent, his face is kind, and his appearance is solemn. It looks like it is made of crystal glass. You can even see the stone wall behind the Buddha through the Buddha's body.
But this glazed Buddha is a living thing. The Buddha's head turned slightly, his lips moved, and a majestic voice suddenly resounded through the sky:
"Since you have seen the real Buddha, why don't you worship him?"
You Su and Zi Yiyi stood on the shore. They knew very well that this thought was speaking to them!
Lao Jiu quickly fell to the ground and recited the sutra devoutly:
"Ji Shou takes refuge in the Buddha in his heart, and bows his head and face to Qiju Hao. I now praise the Buddha in my heart, and only hope for mercy and protection."
This The village man who could even memorize "It's a great pleasure" and "Even if it's far away, he will be punished" could memorize the scriptures word for word.
As soon as he finished speaking, a lotus leaf actually rose from the lake and floated in front of Lao Jiu.
You Su’s lips opened slightly, but he didn’t want to chant sutras.
But because he saw with his own eyes that among the people on the pool, two women were looking at him with indifferent expressions.
One of them has a baby face, but has an exaggerated figure that is extremely disproportionate; while the other one has a misty face, but the luxurious purple dress makes You Su look... A strong intuition:
These two evil demons are Huajingshouzuo and Tao Yaoyao!
