Day and night tour

Chapter 326: Fire from the Sky
Four more chess pieces fell onto the board.

The monk Moya said in a cold tone: "After the Buddha Kingdom established the four heavens of wind, water, fire, and earth, the people only wanted to enjoy themselves and neglected the Dharma. In order to deal with this situation, the Holy Buddha built four more heavens.
The Heaven of Joy of the Bone-Bone-Erosion, the Heaven of Soft-Tongue-Desire, the Heaven of the Five-Objectless, the Heaven of the Nine-Crow Great Sun..."

Just like the previous four chess pieces, the new four chess pieces, one chess piece, replaces a whole heaven.

When the Four Heavens were established, countless people from the Buddhist kingdom who were "greedy for pleasure" wailed in the Four Heavens.

In the midst of the bone-destroying euphoria, some of the common people's skin fell off, revealing their gray-white bones.
A kind-looking monk was shaking a wheel made of stone and fish skin in his hand. As the wheel turned, loud scriptures rang out.

Every time the wheel turned a circle, the bones of the old white people, which were originally smooth, began to bubble up and down like marble that had been splashed with strong acid. When the bubbles dissipated a little, you could see pits and holes appearing on the bone surface.

The common people in the Buddhist country wailed incessantly.

"Those who are content with their bones are usually lazy people who don't want to sit for a long time and recite scriptures. Most of the time they just want to lie down and rest. What use do they have for this body of bones?"

There was a strong criticism in the cliff monk's voice.

The people around were horrified when they heard this. If this standard was used, at least half of the people in Jing Country would be sent to the miserable "Xiao Gu Le Tian" to be executed by burning their bones.

"It turns out that the people of this Buddhist country are not only cruel to people from other countries, but also to their own people."

Zhou Xuan just felt that the great monks in the Buddhist country who had achieved great success were extremely perverted.

If "Xiao Gu Letian" is even more cruel than a cruel official, then "Soft Tongue Desire Heaven" is even more cruel and inhumane.

In this heaven, the tongues of the imprisoned "indulging in pleasure" people will grow without limit. Originally it was only three inches of soft flesh, but now it multiplies and grows without limit. The three inches becomes three feet, and the three-foot-long tongue expands into a flesh ball, filling up the inside of the people's body.
But even so, those soft tongues are still growing, and the tongue flesh is forcibly squeezed out from the seven orifices and five senses of the common people from the inside out...

"Those with soft tongues love to stir up trouble. They slander and defame the Holy Buddha behind their backs. Since their desire to gossip is so unrestrained, the Holy Buddha has given them a giant tongue so that they can stir up more trouble."

The cliff monk sneered repeatedly.
Without the Five-Instrument Heaven, the common people would be stripped of their five internal organs.
In the Heaven of Nine Crows and Great Sun, there are nine suns in the sky, but not a single source of water on the ground. The high temperature constantly burns the people imprisoned there.

"Wind, earth, water, and fire are the four natural heavens of our Buddha country, also called the natural world."

"Bone, tongue, organ, and sun are the four sinful heavens of our Buddhist country, also known as the sinful world. In this world, resentment is overwhelming. With such a strong resentment, it can naturally reduce the momentum of the gods in the mountain and river map."

The Cliff Monk's hand passed over the chessboard, and the four chess pieces representing the Four Sinful Heavens changed their positions. From these four heavens, the most miserable screams and cries of pain could be heard continuously, making every Jingguo citizen in Gangfeng Cave tremble with fear...

...The barbarians in the Gangfeng Cave would never have imagined that these people who were exposed to blood sacrifices day and night and believed in evil gods would one day become moral role models for some people.

"The evil monk from the Buddhist country is so cruel? Even Master Hu San can't stand it anymore."

King Xishan always boasted that he was cruel by nature, but today, he suddenly felt that he still had a long way to go on the road of "doing evil".

The non-resentful energy in the Four Sinful Heavens, which was denser than that in the Eighteen Hells, condensed into substance… An evil monk with a long tongue, five internal organs in his hands, a sun disc on his back, and thick bones was created out of thin air. His figure kept growing, and after it grew like a mountain, he suddenly held up the Nine Palaces that were still sinking.

His "Five Internal Organs Magical Weapon" flashed with brown and purple bloody odor, constantly corroding the map of mountains and rivers.

The beautiful well country's great rivers, mountains and snow-capped plains were eroded by the foul air, turning into one evil land after another, like rotten sores on a human body oozing pus.

"When you are in doubt, you can ask Kong Ming, Nuo God, what exactly do you want me to ask?"

When Zhou Xuan saw the methods used by the Cliff Monk, he knew that his map of mountains and rivers would definitely be no match for the Thirty-Three Heavens.

It only took the eighth level of the sky, and the sinking of the Nine Prefectures had been resisted, and the momentum of the provincial prefectures had also been reduced by a large part.

If the monk on the cliff continued to stack the world, it is estimated that by the time it reached the seventeenth or eighteenth level, the map of mountains and rivers blessed by the Peach Blossom Tree and the ancient golden bell would have become a spent force.

She is at the end of her strength and cannot wear mourning clothes, let alone take on the task of killing the cliff monk.

"Zhou Xuan, your realm is too low after all. Although the Mountain and River Map has been blessed, it has only increased its power a little bit, but it is not controlled by you. You have lost too much spiritual power. It is not worth the loss if you go in and out.
If you control the map yourself with the nine-stick incense sticks, today, you may be able to see the thirty-three heavens of the entire Buddha Kingdom and feel the infinite Buddha eyes of the Holy Buddha Mijiaxun King.

If you can see that kind of glory, your life will not be in vain."

"Bah! You bastard, you are not afraid of dirtying my young master's eyes."

The painter cursed,
He once thought that beggars represented the ultimate evil in the world, but now, compared with the deeds of the evil monks in the Buddhist kingdom, it was like a little Wu meeting the Wu ancestor, not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

"You have insulted the holy Buddha. When I finish these two games of chess, I will kill you first."

The cliff monk closed his eyes relaxedly, picked up eight chess pieces and pressed them down on the chessboard with a loud bang.

After stacking up eight more layers, he would smash the map of mountains and rivers into pieces in one breath with the force of destroying cities and strongholds.

"Nuo God, what do you want me to ask?"

Zhou Xuan couldn't help but feel a little irritated in the empty mirror.

Before the Nuo God awakened, there were only two forces left in Mingjiang Prefecture that had a chance to withstand the Cliff Monk.

A force is the ancient tree golden bell,

Another force is what the Nuo God taught: “When in doubt, ask Kong Ming.”

"I don't know how strong the Ancient Tree Golden Bell is, but I think it is not sure of winning, otherwise it would have taken action now."

"The Kongming Mirror seems to be our last hope."

Zhou Xuan's thoughts were flowing, and he became even more irritated. In the empty and bright world, there were starlight and nine towering ancestral trees, but other than that, there was nothing else.

"What are you asking? What exactly are you asking?"

Zhou Xuan stood up and looked up at the sky in the clear mirror. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew across his neck, which was quite warm and suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

"Where does the wind come from?"

Zhou Xuan felt a little clearer in the breeze, and he looked in the direction of the breeze. He saw a green tree several hilltops away.

This tree is not very tall and its growth is not very vigorous. Compared with the size of other ancestral trees, it looks like a weed. If the wind blows stronger, it may be uprooted.

But Zhou Xuan felt that this small tree had infinite power.

"The power does not come from the tree itself. It merges with the earth and becomes a part of it. The power comes from the boundless earth in the empty and bright world."

Zhou Xuan took a step forward. In the empty and bright world, he was the creator and the supreme will of this world. No matter how far away the space was, it was only a step away for him.

The next moment, Zhou Xuan had already walked to the tree.

This is a Bodhi tree. The light gathers on the tip of each leaf and turns into bright fireflies.

"After I enlightened the gods last time, the scene of the creation of the Jing Kingdom appeared in my empty and bright world. Nine ancestral trees rose to the sky, separating the sky and the earth in the chaotic world.

This is the origin of the nine ancestral trees and the nine gods.

Now that we know the origin of the gods, what about the ancient Buddha, the blood well, the Taoist ancestors, and the witch gods?"

"The Four Great Celestial Lords jointly created the incense and fire of the Well Country. There is no reason for them to be born later than the gods."

Zhou Xuan thought of this, stroked the Bodhi tree again, and said: "Perhaps this small Bodhi tree is the place where the ancient Buddha was born?"

Regarding the Bodhi tree, Zhou Xuan recalled the legend from his previous life - it was said that the Buddha achieved enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.

“Perhaps, the ancient Buddha also attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.”

When Zhou Xuan thought of this, he circled around the small Bodhi tree. After circling seven times, he suddenly felt an extremely difficult to suppress urge in his heart -

——He immediately sat under the Bodhi tree and looked into the distance.

The mountains in the distance became a mirror.

The scene in the mirror was no different from the ones around Zhou Xuan, the same mountains, the same Bodhi tree, but the person sitting under the tree was not Zhou Xuan, but a young man in tattered Buddhist robes.

The young man's appearance and figure were exactly the same as Zhao Wuya's.

However, the young monk's eyes were calm and compassionate, not as vivid as Zhao Wuya's.

"The Supreme Enlightenment, all conditioned phenomena in the world arise from emptiness and clarity."

The young monk's words, like an imperial decree, reached Zhou Xuan's ears, and Zhou Xuan lowered his head and began to meditate.

Time is going backwards and the world is shrinking, until it can no longer shrink and becomes a black shadow.

Outside the shadows, Zhou Xuan could see darkness and light alternating.

On the first day, Zhou Xuan was afraid of the darkness, so he raised his hands and held up the stars.

The next day, he was extremely angry and roared, and his voice turned into thunder.

On the third day, Zhou Xuan felt an inexplicable compassion, and was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He shed his tears, and they became rain.

The fourth day... the fifth day... the sixth day...

In the shadow world, as Zhou Xuan's emotions emerged, the world had light, rain, clouds, thunder, living beings, rivers...

On the seventh day, Zhou Xuan closed his eyes again. At this moment, he was back under the Bodhi tree. There was a mirror in the distance. The young monk in the mirror had become blurred, and next to Zhou Xuan, there was a colorful lotus.

He picked up the colorful lotus and sniffed it carefully. He smelled a very strong Buddhist aura from the lotus. At the same time, he looked into the lotus and actually saw the small world he created by "meditation for seven days".

"All the phenomena in the world arise from emptiness and clarity."

Zhou Xuan remembered the young monk's words and couldn't help laughing. This colorful lotus contains all the laws of the world - it is waiting for someone.

Zhou Xuan suddenly loosened his hands as if his mind moved at will, and the colorful lotus flew away in the direction of the setting sun.

“The sun may not set in the west, it may also set in the east.”

Zhou Xuan knew that everything in the empty and bright world could not be measured by the laws of the secular world. At the same time, he also knew that the colorful lotus was going to fly towards Dongshi Street.

"Yazi, your chance has arrived..."

Zhou Xuan said so.

……

The colorful lotus became a cloud in the sky. It seemed to be floating slowly, but its speed was extremely fast. In almost an instant, it flew to the horizon. In the next instant, it flew out of the empty and bright world and appeared in the Gangfeng Cave. Then, it left the cave like an invisible figure.

The whole process, even with the nine incense sticks of the cliff monk, was not able to see it.
He just felt the extremely fragrant Buddha's aura.

This kind of Buddhist aura is obviously of the same origin as the aura of their Buddhist country, but in terms of purity, it has more of the Buddhist sense of emptiness and clarity than the Buddhist aura of their Buddhist country.

"Donor Zhou, what did you find out from the mirror?"

When the cliff monk saw Zhou Xuan, he actually walked out of the sea of ​​flowers on his own initiative.

In the flower sea world, the ground is in ruins, the map of mountains and rivers has been shattered, the ancestral peach tree has withered, and the tree people, led by Peng Sheng, have revealed their natal tattoos one by one, and are about to encircle the cliff monk together with Zhou Lingyi, Yuan Buyu, and Jiu Da Ren.

They now knew that gathering so many people to attack the cliff monk would yield no results.

The Cliff Monk with the Holy Buddha Chessboard in his hand was too powerful, almost invincible. The nine-stick-incense-stick mountain and river map did not see the eighteenth heaven after all... and there were a total of thirty-three heavens on the chessboard...

Even the map of mountains and rivers cannot reveal the true trump card of the cliff monk, so what’s the point of them attacking together?

But even if it is useless, they will still fight to the death.

"Shuzi, thank you for your hard work in bringing all the tribesmen away from the sea of ​​flowers."

Zhou Xuan picked up a few peach blossoms that had not yet fallen from the ground and gently placed them on the branches of the peach tree.

With these peach blossoms, the ancestral tree regained a little strength. Its branches entangled thousands of tribesmen in the sea of ​​flowers, and then appeared in another corner of the Gangfeng Cave.

The sea of ​​flowers that was bustling just now now only had Zhou Xuan, Zhou Lingyi, Yuan Buyu and Jiu Da Ren.

"Moya Monk, you want to play a game of chess with me, then let's play a game."

Zhou Xuan said loudly.

"What a spirit."

The Cliff Monk repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the masters of Mingjiang Prefecture and Pingshui Prefecture, and defeated the Map of Mountains and Rivers with a complete victory. He was in a very good mood. Now that Zhou Xuan was going to play chess, his mood was even brighter.

"Playing chess with Donor Zhou is extremely serious, so we naturally have to eliminate some unnecessary interference."

The cliff monk stood up, his two sleeves hanging down, and the black and white pieces on the chess basket and chessboard were sucked into his two sleeves.

"Your sister Zhou Lingyi, the wine master of Pingshui Prefecture, and the storyteller Laoxiang Yuan Buyu are all outstanding figures in the incense and fire gods of Jingguo. However, the three of them are not enough to interfere with our chess moves. But what about the ancient tree golden bell of Mingjiang Prefecture?
If it were a long-lasting bell sound, it would be annoying to me.”

Speaking of this,

The cliff monk suddenly raised his head and shouted towards the sky: "The chessboard I want has appeared. I will help you one last time and break the ancient tree golden bell."

Wind blew up from within his sleeves, and hundreds of white and black pieces were shattered into pieces, turning into tens of thousands of chess dust pieces. Then, like a thick fog, it spread out, majestically drifting towards the Youshen Division of Mingjiang Prefecture.

The Youshensi is where the golden bell under the ancient tree is hung.

The chess pieces were crushed into powder and flew away. Zhou Xuan asked, "How can we play chess without chess pieces?"

"How can a secular chess piece be worthy of you, young master? I will use my flesh and blood as chess pieces to play hand-to-hand with you."

The cliff monk shook his neck violently, breaking off the whiskers on his neck. After the whiskers broke off one by one, they squirmed and crawled on the ground. After crawling onto the chessboard, they curled up one by one and became the shape of chess pieces.

Some of the flesh whiskers were stained with blood and acted as black pieces, while some of the flesh whiskers were as pale as paper and naturally acted as white pieces.

After the meat whiskers became chess pieces, they rolled into the chess basket obediently. The cliff monk made a "please" gesture and said, "Please join the game, sir. If you win this game, I will lead the monks to escape to the stars and never come here to cause trouble again. If I win by chance, I will naturally slaughter everyone in Mingjiang Prefecture, but... I will not kill any of the people in Pingshui Prefecture."

"Don't be so merciful. You didn't kill any of the people in Pingshui Prefecture. There must be a condition. Tell me, what is the condition?"

"As long as you cooperate, young master, after your death, your soul will remain in your body and become the eternal bridge between our Buddha Kingdom and the Well Kingdom."

This is the cliff monk's plan.

Coming to Mingjiang Prefecture to avenge the murder of the monk at the Buddhist Baoshan Temple was naturally the focus of Xunbo Monk.
But more importantly, it is Zhou Xuan’s flesh and blood body and powerful consciousness.

"I have already found out the plan of the Eternal Bridge from the three-headed stone Buddha."

"They betrayed the Buddhist country after all."

"I agree to your terms, but my level is too far behind yours. I will definitely lose if I fight you. I need to find a helper."

"Only one?"

The cliff monk asked.

"Only one."

"Then please do as you please, Mr. Zhou."

The cliff monk sat cross-legged in front of the chessboard, waiting quietly.

Zhou Xuan put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky, saying, "Wait a minute, my helpers should be here soon."

……

For the common people of Mingjiang Prefecture, today is a hot day. Although it is already deep into autumn, the temperature has risen for no reason.

In Dongshi Street, people took off their long gowns and put on cool summer clothes, but they were still sweating profusely.

"Why are there two suns in the sky?"

No one knew who shouted, but people on the street looked up and saw that there were indeed two blazing suns in the sky. One was a normal, warm sun, and the other was bright red, surrounded by enchanting flames.

In Zhou's Jingyi shop,
Yun Ziliang and Zhao Wuya were anxiously waiting for Zhou Xuan's return. When they heard someone shouting on the street, Zhao Wuya became curious and walked outside the store. When he looked up and saw clearly, he rushed into the store and shouted, "Grandmaster, there really are two suns in the sky."

"Bullshit."

Yun Ziliang cursed for no reason, then walked out onto the street, holding the teapot. After he had a clear view, he said, "That doesn't look like a sun. It looks like... a magic weapon..."

"Only by seeing the fire of Zoroastrianism can one attain the truth. In the blazing flames, one can comprehend the supreme path."

"God has mercy on the world and sent down the fire of Zoroastrianism to burn away all the greed, lust, foolishness and hatred in the world."

"Seeing the Zoroastrian Fire Order is like seeing the Zoroastrian Fire God."

Several crazy shouts were heard in the red sun.

"That's not the sun, that's the Zoroastrian Order. The Zoroastrians are coming."

Yun Ziliang was so angry that he smashed the teapot in his hand to the ground, breaking it into pieces. He was extremely jealous when he met his enemy.

"Grandmaster, what should we do? Should we fight them?"

"God damn it, neither of us is a person."

Although Yun Ziliang was very angry, due to his lack of cultivation, he no longer had the courage he once had. He did not have the strength to face the Zoroastrianism head-on.

The sun transformed by the Zoroastrian Fire Order was getting bigger and bigger - it was not that it was getting bigger, but that it was getting closer and closer to Mingjiang Mansion.
In a short while, the Zoroastrian Fire Order was only a few hundred feet away from Mingjiang Prefecture. If the Zoroastrian Fire Order really sank, its huge momentum and burning heat waves would be able to burn dozens of streets in Mingjiang Prefecture.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The ancient tree's golden bell rang again, and the power of will within the bell transformed into an invisible air shield to block the huge Zoroastrian fire order.

Bang!
Finally, the air shield and the Zoroastrian Fire Order collided with each other. The Zoroastrian Fire Order was stopped, but when the collision occurred, many parts of the Zoroastrian Fire Order broke through. Those fragments became scattered meteors, which broke through the invisible air shield and flew in all directions to the streets of Mingjiang Prefecture.

Among them, seven flaming meteors flew towards Dongshi Street. One of them happened to land in front of Cui Jie's snack stand and burned one of the diners on the spot.

"It's burning to death, hurry up and save him."

"Water, water!"

There was a commotion in front of the food stall.
Sister Cui saw it clearly, and quickly took a bucket of water and poured it on the man. However, the Zoroastrian fire was extremely strange. When it came into contact with water, it was like oil. The fire suddenly swelled violently, and tongues of fire several meters long suddenly appeared, setting the snack bar on fire.

"Hua Zi, Hua Zi, run."

Sister Cui was frightened by the fire. After being stunned for a second, she turned around and rushed into the store to shout Huazi to escape.

The fire could not be put out, and within two or three minutes, East Market Street was engulfed in flames...
