I became a peerless master

Chapter 237 The poor man isolated from the world
Chapter 237: The poor man isolated from the world
In the barren Gobi Desert at the extreme west of Dongzhou, an abyss several miles wide lies across it.

The bottom of the abyss is invisible, and the lush forests and splendid palaces are faintly visible on the opposite side of the Gobi.

It's just that the almost real scene is like a mirage to the creatures in the Gobi.

Even birds such as golden eagle beasts, which are good at flying skills, cannot step over the abyss.

This fissure, which looks like a scar on the earth without a trace of water vapor, is called the Ancient Silent Styx River. It is said that it was a waterway leading to hell in ancient times. Only dead creatures can set foot in it.

Of course, whether it is the extremely ancient hell or the underworld in ancient times, there are six paths of reincarnation.

At that time, creatures of all races might want to use their lives to try the mysteries of the ancient and lonely Styx. After the end of ancient times, there are no creatures who dare to take risks.

For now death is eternal.

There is no world after death, and all living beings will be transformed into the most authentic and pure energy in the world under the influence of time after death.

The name of the first forbidden place in the mortal world of Guji Styx is no joke.

All power is forbidden in it, not to mention the powerful flying monsters crossing, even the true immortals who have successfully crossed the catastrophe will have to finish playing.

After all, breathing is also an act of strength support. The creatures who set foot here will not be forbidden even the energy of breathing, and they can only die miserably on the spot.

The ancient Ji Styx was close to Dongzhou, and an arm suddenly appeared in the desolate Gobi.

This hand stretched out from the bottomless ancient Styx River, grabbed the dry gravel by the river, and instantly scared away a few poisonous scorpions who were watching here.

With strength in his arms, accompanied by muffled groans and gasps, a sweaty figure climbed out of the abyss.

There is no hair on the top of this person, and the nine bright ring scars are shining brightly in the sun. Although he is in a mess, and even the golden cassock on his body is as tattered as a beggar's costume, there is something called Buddha. The majestic temperament cannot be concealed at all.

To the west of Dongzhou and Wanyao Kingdom, across the first forbidden place, the ancient Ji Ming River, is the Buddhist kingdom of Xizhu, which is close to disappearing but still exists.

If there are powerful ascetics here, they will definitely be horrified.

The Buddhist monks in that place can only show up in Dongzhou once every ten thousand years through magical means, and now they have climbed out of the ancient lonely Styx river, which is really an incredible anecdote.

It is precisely because the real Xizhu Buddha Kingdom on the other side is just a mirage, and the vicinity of the abyss is extremely barren, so there are few people here.

After the monk climbed out of the abyss in the river, he took a deep breath of the dry and dusty air, and there was a timid look in his eyes.

The current monks in the Buddhist kingdom of Xizhu are actually from Dongzhou.

They are recruited by Buddhism once every ten thousand years, fresh blood with Buddha roots from the human world.

From the smug ambition when leaving Dongzhou, to the appearance of the hometown that has been completely forgotten in the end, this is a true portrayal of most Buddhist practitioners.

If it weren't for the people who were recruited by the Buddhist sect to bring them into the Buddhist kingdom of Xizhu, they would basically not be able to leave that land for half a step in the long life of a monk.

Regardless of the human world and hometown, any unfulfilled wishes can only become past events sealed in memory.

Tens of thousands of years ago, there were no fewer than one hundred thousand people who followed the old monk into Buddhism.

Now, many of them have turned into dry bones.

All their lives, they are just poor people cut off from the world.

After a while, a drop of tears flashed across the monk's eyes. If someone asked, the monk would definitely answer that there was sand in it.

It's not because the man doesn't flick his tears easily, but because there are nine ring scars on his head that flow with Buddha's light.

For Buddhist cultivators, ring scars are a symbol of strength and realm.

After cultivating to a certain level the day after tomorrow, it will naturally form.

With nine ring scars, he is a great Zen master of the ninth rank of Buddhism who is comparable to a monk in the late stage of the catastrophe.

If such an existence sheds tears, it will definitely lose its dignity and identity.

And, he wasn't here alone.

Following the movement of the monk's footsteps, after a while, many figures climbing up the rock from below appeared on the shore of the abyss, and the desolate Gobi became lively in an instant.

"Junior Brother Jingyuan, I never thought we would have such a day!"

Excited and even crying voices sounded behind him. The monk turned his head and saw an old monk who was walking tremblingly.

On the head of the old monk, there are also nine ring scars intertwined.

The Ninth Rank Great Zen Master of Buddhism, who is comparable to the Tribulation Realm, shouldn't be so weak and ready to die at any time.

However, this trip to the ancient and lonely Styx is really too dangerous.

Thinking of the hardships that he, a group of people, has experienced along the way, Monk Jingyuan couldn't help showing a look of emotion.

Yes, the first forbidden place that completely separates the Buddhist kingdom of Xizhu from other places in the mortal world is no longer a dead place that prohibits all power.

It's just that if any living being enters it, its cultivation will be instantly suppressed without a trace.

That is to say, if you enter it, even if you are a Buddhist ninth-rank great Zen master, you are no different from ordinary mortals.

The reason why only mortals are allowed to pass through, the monk Jingyuan speculates, should be related to the underworld established in the Buddhist Kingdom of Xizhu during the ancient Heavenly Court period, in an attempt to reshape the six realms of reincarnation.

At that time, under the arrangement of the heavenly court, all the sects and Buddhist cultivators in the mortal world were broken into the underworld and merged into the largest fragment left in the mortal world.

The purpose of the ancient powers, including the founder of Buddhism and Taoism, Buddha, is very clear, so as to study the avenue of reincarnation and reshape the reincarnation of hell.

As for those ancient powerful people, what is the purpose of reshaping reincarnation, Monk Jing Yuan does not know, he only knows from Buddhist classics:
The ancient Buddhist kingdom of Xizhu was the underworld where Shura's evil spirits were all over the place.

Thanks to the efforts of many ancient true Buddhas in Buddhism, the underworld has indeed begun to produce research results, and within a period of time, reincarnation can be easily opened.

However, because the research results are too crude, only the most basic mortal souls can be reincarnated.

In other words, mortals at that time could pass through the ancient and lonely Styx.

However, the cause of the underworld has just started, and it encountered a disaster that was recorded in Buddhist classics as the "Nine Nine Calamities".

During the catastrophe, the ancient heavens that supported the cause of the underworld were destroyed, the Buddhist gates in the immortal world were greatly damaged, and even the entire order of ascetics in the immortal and mortal worlds collapsed.

Since then, the underworld has collapsed. In order to save life and preserve the inheritance of the Buddha's ancestor, the order of the Xizhu Buddhist Kingdom's hard work in the mortal world and the surviving Buddhist and Taoist master Tianlong Bodhisattva in the fairy world has taken shape.

In short, in ancient times, mortals could pass through it, but now it is very normal to enter it and become a mortal...
