The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 128: Innocent Heart, Xuanzang's Journey to the West

Lying high in the nine layers of clouds, the truth lies in the futon.

Underground, Lihentian.

Sneaking through the Nine Abysses and the Heavenly Caves to cultivate immortality.

In the Heaven of Lihen, in the Milky Way.

At this time, flames were raging and gods were floating in the air.

The god wears a mask with mysterious black and white magic patterns.

With the deity as the center, the red magic fire was reflected in an area of ten feet in radius. The flame refined lead, mercury and quicksilver, and the mercury river flow in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang gradually shrank and condensed.

Liang Yue still felt it was not enough, so he transformed into a deer with horns on its head, and the red deer breathed out fire.

This time, he had to get rid of the mercury completely, otherwise every time he fell asleep there would be a huge risk.

Mercury condenses into a bright silver solid metal, which is called Mithril. This bead can be used as medicine and can also be used as a material for refining tools.

After refining for about three days and three nights, the Mercury Milky Way Flow was finally refined.

A metal block half the size of the room appeared in the house.

The Night Wandering God returned to his body, and Liang Yue woke up from the white jade bed.

"The river can be replaced by the jade from the Jade World. As for this piece of mithril..."

Liang Yue pondered for a long time.

Mithril is a flexible material that can be added with black iron to make clothes with super defensive power, and a portion of it can be retained as a material for alchemy.

The rest is stored.

Release the Zhongnan Mountain jade from the Mountain Ghost Jade Pendant, then crush the jade and throw it into the river.

Liang Yue took out the compass and input true energy.

Wow!
The sun rises and the river flows.

A strong wind blew up in the void, blowing away the remaining mercury poison gas.

The sky is clear and the air is fresh, full of vitality.

Over the next ten days, Liang Yue transplanted plants and renovated the house.

On a nine-story high platform, the Heshi Bi is suspended in the air.

The He Shi Bi serves as the core of this world's formation, emitting true energy to supply the world's operation.

"It's still not enough."

Liang Yue was not very satisfied. With the three thousand strands of true qi from the He Shi Bi, if the world was fully opened, it could only last for three to five years at most.

Thinking of this, Liang Yue took the He Shi Bi again.

The Yuehua Ding was conjured up, the Yuding produced a mysterious fire, and the Heshi Bi was refined as a sacrifice.

Liang Yue had no intention of changing the ability of the He Shi Bi, but rather to refine the He Shi Bi's restrictions, adding two or three layers of restrictions to enhance its ability to store true energy.

After three lifetimes, Liang Yue now has about 500 strands of true qi, and the He Shi Bi is clearly insufficient.

After more than ten days, a restriction was finally added, and Heshi's storage limit reached four thousand.

"good."

Liang Yue was quite satisfied.

After that, he spent most of his time practicing in the secluded cave, while Xuanwu stayed outside to look after the house.

Cast spells at will without worrying about others finding out.

……

Whoosh!
Fly out of the cave.

The soul is above the nine heavens, overlooking the world.

At night, the stars are shining brightly.

In the clouds, there were gusts of strong wind, which stung the body and caused pain.

Liang Yue looked at the city below with no expression of joy or sadness.

No matter how huge and majestic a city is, it will appear insignificant when viewed from a high place.

In this era, no one has yet been able to fly freely.

This is the freedom that one person can enjoy alone.

The sky in the east was turning pale, the dark clouds broke through, and the earth was covered with a layer of golden light.

As the day arrives, the Night Wandering God's body gradually fades away and turns into a soul.

Outside the city, warriors fought for exotic fruits and schemed for secret books.

Hunters go into the mountains to hunt, farmers bow their heads to farm, the emperor sits at the center, and civil and military officials work diligently to govern the country.

The same thing has happened countless times on this land.

It's just done by different people in different forms.

Whoosh!
The soul returns to the body.

It's another day of traveling. When I have time in the future, I will visit other places in the Tang Dynasty.

"A miraculous elixir that saves the world and saves lives."

Liang Yue shouted from time to time, and people had already been waiting on both sides of the street. Most of them were really ill. The people in Chang'an City had been completely subdued by Liang Yue and did not dare to take advantage of him.

The East and West Markets were bustling with people, including foreign merchants, southern medicine dealers, and a wide variety of goods.
A monk performed a sermon, and the believers around him listened devoutly.

"..." Having said that, Xuanzang suddenly stopped and was unable to speak.

I was not stumped by the believers' questions, but by myself.

In the past few years, Xuanzang read many Buddhist scriptures and visited famous teachers from all over the country. Each person’s explanation was different and very different.

What exactly is the true Dharma?
Thinking of this, Xuanzang lost interest, waved his hand, and said, "You can leave now."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally followed the wizard's advice and left.

Xuanzang's eyes drifted into the distance.

Dharma……

Most of the Buddhism today is compiled by later generations, and it is completely irrelevant, and everyone claims that they are following the right path.

Later generations can only stick with the wrong theory, keep innovating and come up with even more wrong theories.

At some point, a wandering Taoist priest approached him.

"Xuanzang, what are you thinking about?" Liang Yue put down the long banner and asked.

"I have been thinking about the great way... Alas, the great way is hard to find, I don't know where it is."

Xuanzang's calm expression showed a trace of annoyance, and he said, "Friend Tongtian, Taoists in the world all worship gods, why have I never seen you do so?"

Whether it is a deity or a Buddha, are they really worth worshipping? When Sakyamuni founded Buddhism, did he also find a deity or Buddha to worship?

One Buddha, one Tao, discussing the Tao as we walk.

"Not worth it." Liang Yue answered the previous topic.

"not worth it?"

"Practice is to cultivate oneself, to seek within, not to seek external things."

Most of the gods and immortals in contemporary Taoism were compiled during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the prototypes of some of the gods and immortals are ancient famous scholars and alchemists.

If you worship out of respect for your ancestors or for spiritual sustenance, then that is fine. But if you want to gain supernatural powers, then that is somewhat unrealistic.

Xuanzang's heart was moved, and he understood something, and then he asked:

"Tongtian, where is your path?"

Tongtian is the strangest Taoist priest Xuanzang has ever met. He does not seek fame, fortune, orthodoxy, or descendants.

He once tried to understand Liang Yue's behavior, but he could never get through.

"My Tao?" Liang Yue looked down at his feet and said with a smile, "The Tao is under my feet. I can travel freely in the world and do what I want. Xuanzang, let's go, haha!"

After saying this, he strode away, passing by a man with a rat-like look. The man pretended to watch the magic show, but actually secretly reached out his hand, intending to steal from the person in front of him.

Liang Yue kicked the man to the ground.

"Watch your purse."

After that, he strode away. Liang Yue said with a smile: "Xuanzang, let me see your pure heart."

My innocent heart has already had a glimmer of understanding, that is - to be a living person.

The worldly life refines the mind and allows one to be free.

Everything Liang Yue did was not just idle wandering around, but to experience the world and anchor himself in human nature.

In a narrow sense, the corpse-reincarnated immortal has already achieved enlightenment.

The passage of life is the main theme of every life.

The key is how to go through each life with a stable mindset.

He was a famous scholar in Jiangzuo, a prime minister in the mountains, an imperial teacher, a pioneer of martial arts, and influenced the establishment of the Li Tang Dynasty.

Fame and fortune are not worth mentioning.

Xuanzang stopped where he was and looked at Liang Yue's leaving back.

"Spontaneous and natural, like a child..."

Some people practice to the end just to find their nature as children.

Return to nature and simplicity.

"It seems that I have to leave as well."

Xuanzang walked home.

……

The luxury mansion in the east of the city was named Wuyou Mansion by Liang Yue.

Inside the mansion, in front of Liang Yue was a big rooster with its head held high and chest puffed out.

"Giggle..."

After the rooster took the pill, there was a lot of chaos, and it took a long time for them to calm down.

"I'll depend on you to make money from now on."

Liang Yue smiled.

"Fellow Taoist Tongtian!"

Li Chunfeng's voice came from outside the door.

When I went out, I saw Li Chunfeng was also holding a chicken.

There are three bad guys around him.

"Senior Tongtian!" The Bad Man bowed respectfully.

"go!"

Mochoufang.

Everyone's faces turned red and they clenched their fists and shouted.

Inside the circle, two roosters pecked each other angrily, blood was dripping, and feathers were flying.

One of the chickens was a size bigger than the surrounding chickens and won in a few moves.

"Donghai Chicken wins!"

Those who guessed correctly cheered, while those who missed felt upset and regretful.

This chicken belongs to Liang Yue himself and has no name, so others named it after its species and place of origin.

Because of the excellent performance of the East China Sea chicken, it is the king of East China Sea chickens and is simply called the East China Sea Emperor.

"Let's do it again!" Liang Yue started the next round directly.

This time the audience learned their lesson, and 90% of them bet on the larger Donghai chicken.

Liang Yue was holding the Donghai chicken, and Li Chunfeng in the crowd winked at him.

Then he put down the Donghai Chicken.

"Giggle..."

Originally, the Donghai chicken was very powerful and ferocious, but later for some reason it fell into a disadvantage and was defeated miserably.

"Hey……"

All these gamblers were ripped off, and the gambling house in which Li Chunfeng had a stake made a huge profit.

"Hold on!"

Li Chunfeng signaled his men to assemble at this time, and whispered as he passed by Liang Yue.

They arrived at the brothel, and dozens of his men were there, smashing things with sticks.

"Yihonglou is involved in human trafficking, which is a violation of Tang Dynasty law. Everyone, please follow me back for questioning!"

The Bad Guys were originally criminals who were summoned to the imperial court for pardon. They were full of gangster spirit. Under Li Chunfeng's financial offensive, they were convinced by Li Chunfeng. They hit the criminals with six sticks in one breath, making them flee in panic. They also arrested a large number of people.

Li Chunfeng came to the basement and his eyes became fierce and sharp.

"kill!"

The guard in the basement took action immediately upon seeing the people.

Li Chunfeng killed people as he walked, and his black iron sword was covered in blood and was too slippery to hold.

The secret room is guarded by an innate being.

Li Chunfeng is now a completely different person from before. With the support of black iron weapons and the narrow space in the basement, his close combat ability seems to have been greatly enhanced.

In less than a moment, the innate master was beheaded.

Li Chunfeng packed up all the spiritual herbs, information, and books and took them away.

The rest of the treasure was distributed among his subordinates.

When we got outside, all the onlookers had run away.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, I've been keeping you waiting for a long time! These people have been under my surveillance for a long time, so I came here today to eliminate them."

The brothel is actually the intelligence base of the Demon Cult. Of course, this is a secret of the Jie Cult, so there is no need to tell Tongtian.

Although the two have a good relationship, the matter concerns the sect and the secrets cannot be revealed.

"So that's how it is. Fellow Daoist, be careful and don't fall into the enemy's trap." Liang Yue said with a smile.

……

The next day, night.

Lingbao meets Li Chunfeng.

"Master, here are the materials and money you need..."

"Keep the money for yourself."

The Night Wandering God Liang Yue took a bottle of pills and threw it to Li Chunfeng.

The above intelligence shows that they are tracking down who killed Yang Guang, and they also have information about the Xiuyue people.

The moon cultivators are classified by them as "celestial beings". Celestial beings are born extraordinary and are fundamentally different from demons.

Liang Yue put the things away and warned Li Chunfeng, "You must be careful, don't fight alone, learn to use the power of the government. If necessary, smash the jade pendant, and I will feel it."

Li Chunfeng was confident and said with a smile: "Master, don't worry. These people can't cause any trouble in Chang'an City."

"That's good."

The Night Wanderer disappeared underground.

In the following period, Li Chunfeng did not stop, cracking down on human trafficking and living people dismemberment everywhere, without fear of any powerful people.

At the same time, the Demon Cult's strongholds of all sizes were eliminated, destroying the Demon Cult's years of operation.

A large number of rare flowers and plants were sent to the Lingbao Night Wandering God.

With the help of Liang Yue, Li Chunfeng's cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.

Two years later.

Xuanzang knocked on the door carrying a package.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian..."

"What, you want to go west?"
