When the villain knows the plot

From the darkness in front of my eyes, it gradually opened up again.

Xie Xiaoqing had a clear view of the surrounding scene, the vast yellow sand, the colorful trees and Buddhist temples...how could this be?Haven't left the Buddha Kingdom yet?

A sense of upset surged up from the bottom of my heart, and I was wrong again, it turned out to be a joy for nothing!It's been a waste of effort to stay in this ghost place for so long, and I won't find any solution if I keep searching, so it's better to...

He looked at Xu Hanxiu, who was standing aside, with a chill in his eyes.As long as she is sacrificed, this level can be broken. Chen Hong and the others didn't return to the fourth level, did they?

The spiritual power gathered in the palm, Xie Xiaoqing's body trembled suddenly, and he suddenly woke up!

No, he will not be dominated by such thoughts!He gritted his teeth, and the appearance of that person came to his mind again. He looked at himself, smiled and said, "I'll wait for you to do it for me"... The person was watching him silently, so he held back even more In one breath, I must prove to him that my own way is also feasible!

The will that suddenly surged in his mind was so determined that it seemed to break through something invisible in one fell swoop.The scene of the Buddha Kingdom in front of my eyes trembled and became clearer.

Xie Xiaoqing let out a breath slowly, he noticed that there was a cloud of black smoke dissipating in his mind... Is that a demon?

I'm afraid this place has been arranged to give birth to demons.As soon as he stepped into this place, he had been quietly invaded by the demons in his heart, and only then did he have thoughts that shouldn't have.

"Elder Wang, are we still in the fourth level? Did we fail to break through the level just now?" Xu Hanxiu asked at this time, his voice was calm, but he never panicked.

"I guess so." Xie Xiaoqing replied, feeling ashamed.

Xu Hanxiu is much calmer than him, and it seems that the inner demon has little influence on her.This shows that her determination is far stronger than her own.

"Okay, let's not worry, we will find a way slowly." Xu Hanxiu said.

They stood in the air above the Buddha Kingdom, and they could "see" clearly in their spiritual consciousness for dozens of miles around.

This place is indeed no different from the fourth level they just left.

The two were about to fly down into the Buddhist kingdom, when Xu Hanxiu suddenly exclaimed, his figure was unstable, as if he had suffered some internal injury.Xie Xiaoqing quickly stretched out his hand to grab her, but at this moment, his palm was tingling!

A faint golden light shone from the hand he was holding onto Xu Hanxiu, and quickly spread to his whole body like running water.

He had only seen someone use this spell a few days ago... It was a spell used by Master to paralyze consciousness and seal the body!

Immediately he couldn't move.The Jindan cultivator's spells couldn't control him for too long, Xu Hanxiu knew this, and decisively summoned a rope-shaped magic weapon from the storage bag, and tied him tightly.

"What do you mean?" Xie Xiaoqing was shocked and looked at her in disbelief.

How could it be... the companion who had been with him a moment ago also deserted him?

Is it true that no one should be trusted?

He looked at Xu Hanxiu's face, and saw the murderous intent hidden in her beautiful apricot eyes...

"The days before were really a waste of time. I shouldn't have bet on you!" Xu Hanxiu's voice had become cold, as if he was filled with great resentment, "Why are you still looking for an exit? Since you can't take me If you break through this level, use your life to help me!"

She carried Xie Xiaoqing and flew towards the giant golden lotus floating in mid-air, and snorted heavily.

"In just a few days of your disappearance, you broke through the Nascent Soul from the Golden Core. I thought you had some kind of adventure. When you challenged Elder Chen Hong, I thought you had someone to rely on. Maybe you knew the way to break through the level." Better than the elders! It turned out to be nothing more than a pompous idiot... Hmph, I'd better hurry up, break through this level, and catch up with Elder Chen Hong and the others!"

The more she talked, the deeper Xie Xiaoqing's heart sank.

Did she really think so?

Everything I do is meaningless... Is it just a drag on others?

His eyes gradually darkened and became confused.This is his weakness that is most afraid of being poked... He still can't do anything!

He has been suffering from the pain of powerlessness, not having enough strength to persuade others to do good, nor can he stop others from doing evil...

Didn't he, his beloved, also helplessly watch him trampling on human life and walking further and further down the path of evil?When he killed himself, he didn't even have the strength to resist.

His fluctuating mind caused Xu Hanxiu to glance at him.

The look of despair in his eyes made her startled for a moment.

However, in the blink of an eye, she saw again that deep unwillingness and anger burned in his eyes like wildfire!

From a shining spark to a blazing fire—

The clean and gentle wood-type spiritual power also followed the change in his eyes, and suddenly became extremely violent, exuding a huge coercion from him!

The golden rope that bound him was torn apart in a blink of an eye, breaking into several pieces and falling down.

Xie Xiaoqing raised his hand slowly.

Xu Hanxiu was terrified, and wanted to turn around and run away, but time and space seemed to be stagnant, and she couldn't escape no matter what, a clean and slender hand had already strangled her throat.

"Forgiveness..." She only uttered one word, and then couldn't make any more sound.The hand was getting tighter and tighter.

Xie Xiaoqing's breathing became disordered suddenly, and his eyes struggled.

When he shook his head, it seemed that something had been thrown away, and those amber eyes gradually returned to their original clarity.

He let go of the hand that was strangling Xu Hanxiu's throat, and a woody spiritual power that contained comfort came out from his palm.

It seemed as if a puff of black smoke dissipated in his mind... Xu Hanxiu was shocked suddenly, and the scene in front of him was washed by rain in an instant, and became more clear.

"I seem to be... possessed by a demon?" Looking at Xie Xiaoqing who withdrew his hand, Xu Hanxiu was like waking up from a dream, and was afraid of attacking again after a while.If Xie Xiaoqing killed himself directly just now, no wonder he was there!

She shyly said: "I will do this, I am really sorry for you..."

"It's okay," Xie Xiaoqing looked calm, and he didn't seem to care, "It's good that the demons are relieved. In fact, there was a moment before that, I also thought about offering sacrifices to you."

"Well, it's inevitable that people have selfish desires. This place should be manipulated to magnify our selfish desires. I have indeed thought about what I told you, but the main reason why I go to you is because I agree with your approach. Stay true to your heart, and I hope you can trust me..."

It would be impossible to say that she never had those thoughts at all. The inner demons can only be catalyzed, not created out of thin air.

"Well, I believe you." Xie Xiaoqing said firmly.

There is also a devil in his heart, so how can he blame others?

At this time, both of them had broken free from their inner demons, and as before, they searched for clues in the Buddha Kingdom without haste.

"Hey, what's that?" Xu Hanxiu was surprised when he saw something suddenly.

Xie Xiaoqing stretched out his hand to take a picture, and took the thing from the air.

The soft moon-white satin, rolled with trim, looks like half a sleeve, and it is also stained with blood.Judging from the color of the blood, it should be freshly dyed.

"Like the robes of Shuiyuezhai's disciples." Xie Xiaoqing said.

The two were startled at the same time, and ecstasy flashed in their eyes.

This place...is not the fourth level!They stayed in the desert Buddhist kingdom of the fourth pass for a long time, and they even knew the location of a piece of withered grass and a pile of rocks. If this piece of silk and satin had been half buried in the sand, it would have been impossible for them to Ignored.

"This is the fifth level! The layout is exactly the same as the fourth level, and it deceives us. This place can interfere with our minds and make us give birth to inner demons. The two of us almost fell into the Tao and started killing each other. It's really dangerous !"

After thinking about it, Xu Hanxiu smiled.

"It's really risky." Xie Xiaoqing also smiled, "Since I have seen through it, I think I have passed this level, and I should use the same method to enter the sixth level."

"I think so too!" Xu Hanxiu quite agreed.

The two of them flew towards the golden lotus platform in mid-air together.

Xie Xiaoqing concentrated on manipulating it, making the little bodhi tree grow taller and taller, and Xu Hanxiu also helped her with water-based spiritual power. After a while, the bodhi tree rose to the lotus platform again.

The bodhi tree disappeared after turning into a statue, and the vortex in the desert also reappeared.

Xu Hanxiu couldn't help but glanced at the pale gold glazed beads on Xie Xiaoqing's waist.This time, the brilliant fire phoenix did not fly out of the bead.

They each collected a few treasures that flew out of the vortex, and threw them into the vortex.

……

"Pfft, it's still in this Buddhist country." After seeing the surrounding scene clearly, Xu Hanxiu said, with a hint of ridicule in his words.

Although they were still in the Buddhist kingdom, neither of them felt anxious, because the scene in front of them was indeed somewhat different from before.

It was shrouded in darkness.

The desert Buddha country they stayed in before... There is no difference between day and night.

What is even more strange than this night is that there are actually Buddhist voices singing along with the evening wind.As far as the eye can see, there are dots of orange lights everywhere.The numerous statues of Arhats and Buddhist temples are no longer incomplete, showing a solemn and solemn posture.

They actually came to the night in the heyday of the Buddha Kingdom.

When they appeared, they were standing on the sand, not hovering in the air.

Both of them have already realized that their spiritual power has been suppressed by an inexplicable force.This is a place of confinement.

While they were looking around, a group of monks in cassocks had already walked towards them.

The leading monk, with high nose, deep eyes and thin body, clasped his palms together and bowed to the two of them, saying: "The poor monk was ordered to welcome the Taoist Master Xuanji who came to discuss the Tao. I think this is it?"

Looking at Xu Hanxiu, Xie Xiaoqing replied, "I'm in Xuanji, thank you for your kindness."

They had all heard of the name Xuanji, and it was Elder Chen Hong who mentioned it to them, the master of this nine-story building.Senior Xuanji has already gone to the Immortal Realm, and what these monks are looking for is obviously the ones who broke into this level.

"This may be a memory of Taoist Xuanji." Following the monks walking through the Buddhist kingdom, Xu Hanxiu quietly said to Xie Xiaoqing.

Xie Xiaoqing nodded, he also guessed so.

These monks sent them to a quiet Buddhist temple and placed them in two adjacent rooms.

"Guests are invited to rest here with peace of mind. Meals and drinks will be delivered on a regular basis. We will also arrange manpower to guide the two of you to the venue for the Dao Discussion Conference three days later," said the leading monk.

"Thank you." Both of them responded politely.

"Now we can only wait for three days." Xu Hanxiu said after the monks left.

Along the way just now, she and Xie Xiaoqing also asked these people for information. It turned out that five days ago, a group of people who came to discuss the Tao had just left.Come to think of it, it's Fairy Qinghe and Elder Chen Hong's group!

"Well, let's rest here with peace of mind. The spiritual power is suppressed, and we can't go elsewhere." Xie Xiaoqing smiled.

They went back to their rooms.At this time, they are no different from ordinary people. At this time, the night is already dark, and it is indeed time to sleep.

But Xie Xiaoqing's heart was not as relaxed as he showed on his face.

Taoist Priest Xuanji... Discussion Conference...

The person who will come to the stage to discuss the Dao in three days will not be Senior Xuanji, but himself!He has never discussed the Dharma with others, and he knows nothing about Zen, so how should he discuss the Tao?

He glanced around the room.The furnishings in the house are not gorgeous, but they are quite clean and refreshing.

The light was like beans, and the dim yellow light reflected a stack of scriptures on the table... Xie Xiaoqing suddenly understood that these scriptures were reserved for him to read.

He sat down in front of the case and opened the first "Miaofa Lotus Sutra".

On the yellowed paper, tiny words came into his eyes.Xie Xiaoqing has never studied the Sanskrit characters used in Buddhism, but the deep meaning contained in these words, if there is substance, was poured into his mind.

After only reading half a page, Xie Xiaoqing felt a heavy head and a dull pain, as if he had been poured a lot of cinnabar.

Suddenly a white coat flashed by the corner of his eyes, Xie Xiaoqing turned his face to look, and the man was already sitting beside him.

"These scriptures are modest and righteous, and they are blessed by the realm of heaven and immortality. Reading them is extremely beneficial to practice." Ling Lian said.

"Master, why did you come out?" Xie Xiaoqing asked softly.

"Naturally, I will read with you. This kind of opportunity doesn't come along all the time." Ling Lian smiled slightly.

The dim yellow lamp shadow reflected on his snow-white Taoist robe and smiling eyebrows, which seemed to bring some gentleness of time and tranquility.

Xie Xiaoqing was fascinated, and found that the master had started to read the scriptures silently, so he calmed down and read together with him.

As long as he looks at the scriptures, the profound true meaning of Zen will be continuously poured into his mind.

The brain pain became more and more serious, Xie Xiaoqing was already in a trance, his body couldn't support it, gradually tilted, and instinctively leaned on the person beside him.

The man didn't push him away and let him lean on.The master hasn't shown signs of exhaustion yet, and his mental strength must be much better than his own.

Xie Xiaoqing thought about it like this, and felt the familiar flame breath coming from the master...

He really wanted to just indulge in it.
