Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 665: Ancient Buddha in Tsing Yi, Female Ghost Xiaoqian

After trying the power of this nine-grade merit golden lotus, Li Daoxuan was very satisfied. He no longer turned into the Buddha and restored his true body.

The divine object channels the spirit, and the lotus platform shrinks automatically.

He sat on it, closed his eyes and felt it carefully.

In addition to its extremely strong defensive capabilities, it is also equivalent to a spirit-gathering magic circle. Practicing on it is far better than other places. In a trance, Li Daoxuan felt like he had returned to heaven.

The state of mind is even brighter and clearer, with no waves or external demons.

Li Daoxuan finally understood why Buddha always liked to sit on the lotus platform. It was so comfortable to sit on, and more importantly, it was so stylish that no one would want to get down.

This is only the ninth-grade golden lotus. If it can be restored to the twelfth-grade golden lotus in ancient times, who knows how miraculous it will be.

After hesitating, a thin booklet appeared in his hand.

"Buddha's 37 Sutras".

The Book of Heaven once mentioned that if you sit on the Golden Lotus of Nine-Rank Merits and recite the 37-Rank Sutra silently, miraculous changes will occur.

Coupled with what Lu Lusheng said, Li Daoxuan had roughly guessed something.

He asked the little flower god to protect him, then with a firm look in his eyes, he slowly opened the first page of the scripture and read it softly.

"From the west, there are hundreds of thousands of billions of Buddha lands, and there is a world called Ultimate Bliss. The living beings in this land do not suffer all kinds of sufferings, but they can enjoy all kinds of happiness. The living beings in this land always spend the Qing Dynasty, and each wear their clothes to hold wonderful flowers and make offerings to them. Ten trillion Buddhas in other places..."

As he chanted sutras, his spirit began to gradually become trance-like, as if there was a strange force that was transporting his soul, flying into Qingming, and falling to the west.

In terms of ability, Li Daoxuan naturally meets or even far exceeds the standards set by the Buddha. Others have to read the entire book several times before they can get the guidance, but Li Daoxuan only read a few sentences and has already entered the kind of spiritual enlightenment. status.

If someone from the Buddhist sect sees it, they will definitely sigh with regret. A seedling who can become a Buddha has entered the Taoist sect.

In the misty clouds, Li Daoxuan only felt that his body was getting lighter and lighter, flying higher and higher, and he kept hearing Sanskrit sounds in his ears, as if something was constantly attracting him somewhere far away.

At the same time, a vast evil spirit also invaded his sea of ​​consciousness, impacting his spiritual will.

It felt like being bitten by countless evil ghosts, falling into the eighteenth level of hell, enduring hundreds of tortures, and sinking here forever.

Resentment, pain, greed, jealousy...

All kinds of negative emotions explode in an instant, making the five aggregates confused and the three flowers trembling. No matter how determined the person is, they will inevitably fall into it.

Even Li Daoxuan's Heavenly Escape Sword Intention was somewhat unable to withstand it, and the Wisdom Sword was frequently unsheathed, but the demonic intention and evil thoughts were growing like weeds.

At the critical moment, the energy of merit emerged one after another and turned into a golden lotus shadow, covering Li Daoxuan's body and blocking out all evil thoughts.

"Is this the consciousness of the Lingshan monster? It's really scary!"

"No wonder the Heavenly Book will remind you to sit on the lotus platform and recite this sutra silently..."

Li Dao

He stood on the lotus platform and flew in a certain direction involuntarily.

Finally, after an unknown period of time, he found himself in a place where even though it had been abandoned for hundreds of years, the aura and Buddhist charm within it could not be concealed.

Lingshan, Daleiyin Temple.

This place is as empty as the Heavenly Palace. The green lanterns are always bright, the ancient bells are dusty, and the huge plaque has a faint thunder light flowing on it. It looks very extraordinary.

When Li Daoxuan passed by, he wanted to take off the evergreen lantern and the plaque of Daleiyin Temple.

This is definitely good stuff.

However, when he reached out, he realized that he was now an empty soul, in a mysterious and mysterious state, and could not touch anything in the Great Leiyin Temple.

Continuing to wander, he quickly passed through the layers of palaces and came to a place.

That's a Bodhi tree.

The branches and leaves spread for three thousand miles, and hanging bodhi seeds are as green as jade, as if they are holding up three thousand worlds and billions of whirling.

Li Daoxuan's expression changed.

What surprised him was not the seemingly endless bodhi tree, but... there was a person sitting under the bodhi tree!

Three thousand green silk threads tilt like streams of light. He is sitting on the golden lotus of ninth-grade merit. His green clothes are dancing and shrouded in immeasurable Buddha light. He is like a god in the clouds or an immortal Buddha in the mist.

Purity, wisdom, compassion, tolerance, broadness...

In Him, Li Daoxuan seemed to see the shadows of many ancient Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but the most important thing was her shadow.

"Qingni?"

Li Daoxuan was shocked. This figure from behind seemed extremely familiar and yet strange to him.

Xiao Que'er once said that shortly after he ascended to heaven, the Empress in Tsing Yi figured out that he was in danger and was in Lingshan, so she cast a spell to enter Lingshan, and was never heard from again.

Li Daoxuan was very worried about this, but for a while he was helpless.

When he heard the story about the role of "Buddha's 37 Sutras" by Lu Lusheng, he was moved in his heart and had the idea of ​​using it to travel to the Lingshan Mountain to find the Queen in Tsing Yi.

Unexpectedly, he met the empress as soon as he came in.

In other words, the person who keeps attracting him is the empress!
At this moment, two identical ninth-grade golden lotuses of merit bloomed quietly in the void. A man and a woman were sitting there, echoing each other from a distance, as if there was some invisible mysterious force binding them together.

After Li Daoxuan's call, the ninth-grade lotus platform slowly rotated, and the woman in green who had her back to him finally turned around.

The moment he saw the other party's appearance clearly, Li Daoxuan was shocked and showed excitement.

"Qing Ni, it's really you!"

The woman in blue who looked like an ancient Buddha was clearly the empress in blue that Li Daoxuan had longed for. However, she closed her eyes tightly, held the lotus seal with her hands, and was enveloped in 33 layers of Buddha's light. Her aura was unfathomable, yet ethereal.

Li Daoxuan wanted to step forward, but was blocked by an invisible layer of golden light.

The empress in green seemed to be in a very strange state. She did not open her eyes, but opened her mouth slightly and said three words softly, but no sound came out.

Li Dao

The earth wriggled like an intestine, and extremely corrosive acid continuously spewed out from the Eight Treasures Merit Pool. Arhat corpses were floating in it, most of which only had broken arms and limbs.

Three thousand miles of Bodhi trees swayed, emitting streams of clear light, shrouding the Lady in Tsing Yi. She closed her eyes and kept silent. The Buddha's light around her body was restrained. The lotus platform she sat on gathered its branches and leaves, slowly wrapping her around.In just a few breaths, it turned into a flower.

……

Li Dao

Whoosh!
The hot and sharp golden light shot through the mountains and rivers, flattening a mountain top. The cutting area was as black as carbon, with bursts of green smoke rising.

He closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

At this moment, he is no longer in the spiritual mountain, but is still in the cave. The little flower god is guarding the door with bright eyes and hugging the banana fan tightly.

The "Buddha's 37 Sutras" in his hand turned into ashes at some point, but fortunately Li Daoxuan had memorized it all.

"Lanruo Temple..."

The empress just spoke three words, but she didn't say any sound. Instead, she conveyed the message purely with her mouth, and she said these three words.

Li Daoxuan silently thought about these three words.

He didn't know why the empress said these three words, but it was obvious that in her opinion, these three words contained very important information.

Does that abandoned ancient temple still hide any secrets?
In addition, what he was most worried about was how the empress was doing now.

Judging from the recent contact, the empress's cultivation is unfathomable, and even gives Li Daoxuan the feeling of facing an ancient Buddha.

But she seemed to be suffering from some kind of restrictions. She couldn't see or speak, and she was in a very strange state.

What Li Daoxuan fears most is that the empress has been replaced and is no longer her.

After all, the place at Lingshan was so weird that even the World Honored One Tathagata fell.

He looked at the lotus platform, determined to try again.

But the ninth-grade golden lotus of merit under his seat was a little dim. It seemed that it had just consumed a lot of power to help him resist the evil intention. However, it was a divine object and would automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon to replenish it. I believe it will recover soon.

"Don't rush to explore Lingshan again. It seems that it is necessary to go to Lanruo Temple."

……

Lan Ruo Temple.

Grandma Dryad sat on the high platform, glaring at the female ghosts below, and casually knocked over the bloody plate of heart and liver on the table.

"After so many days, you losers have only gained so much?"

Grandma's voice suddenly sounded male and female, old and young. Sometimes it seemed like many people were speaking at the same time, which was very strange.

The female ghosts knelt down and trembled.

A female ghost trembled and said: "Grandma, they are all Yan Chixia... That evil spirit is guarding outside, and we, we don't dare to go out..."

They are female ghosts raised by the Dryad Grandma. They are responsible for going out for "hunting" at night. They either use sex to impress people, or they turn into ghosts, kidnap the men back to Lanruo Temple, cut their hearts and take their livers and offer them to their grandmother.

However, with the arrival of Yan Chixia, some of their sisters often died under the sword, and the hunting efficiency naturally dropped greatly.

Grandma Dryad knew this very well. She snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, that stinking Taoist priest will die soon. Grandma, I won't let him go!"

At this time, a female ghost whispered: "Grandma, why don't you let Xiaoqian go out with us?"

Hearing this, other female ghosts also agreed.

"Yes, Xiaoqian is so beautiful and has higher magic power than us. If she is willing to help, she will definitely be able to capture more men!"

"Grandma, Xiaoqian is not your daughter, why do you dote on her so much?"

"That's right, we risk our lives to hunt for grandma, but it's better for her to hide in her room and practice every day without caring about anything. We still have to serve her..."

Facts have proved that women's jealousy still exists even after death. These female ghosts have long been dissatisfied with Xiaoqian. She is more beautiful than herself, has more magic power than herself, and she is so favored by her grandma without having to do anything.

"Shut up!!"

Grandma scolded angrily, and the people below suddenly fell silent. She was about to continue scolding, but something moved in her heart, and she looked at the figure in white clothes in the distance who was wearing a cold and dusty appearance.

"Xiaoqian, you heard it too. They all hope that you can join the hunt together. What do you think?"

The woman in white moved her lotus steps lightly, and Pingting came.

Her feet were bare, and her ankles were dotted with a circle of golden bells. Her white skirt fluttered gently in the night wind, outlining her beautiful and graceful figure. Her long black hair hung down to her waist like brocade.

The muscles reflect the flowing clouds, and the feet are curled up with thin bamboo shoots.

The most outstanding thing is the cold and picturesque temperament, which is in great contrast with the light gauze skirt and barefoot walking attire. It is like a fairy who fell into the world by mistake, which makes people fall in love with her.

Xiaoqian walked past the female ghosts, her voice as quiet as ever.

"I can join the hunt, but there's one requirement."

Grandma's eyes moved and she said, "You tell me."

"My maids are both, and she doesn't want to marry the old demon from Montenegro."

After that, Xiaoqian walked up to a female ghost, looked down at her with cold eyes, and said calmly: "Let Xiaorou take the place of Shuangshuang."

It was Xiaorou who was the first to express his dissatisfaction with her just now.

"Grandma, no, grandma, I can catch more men for you——"

"Okay, let's do it!"

The female ghost Xiaorou showed a look of despair. I heard that the old Black Mountain demon liked to abuse women the most. The sisters who were married to him died soon after.

Xiaoqian still looked cool and cold, without even saying a word of thanks, she turned around and left coolly, her skirts flying.

Grandma Dryad looked at her back with deep eyes.
