Chapter 1984: Backtracking
When Chu Huan thought of this, his mind suddenly became much clearer, and he knew that he had fallen into the illusion created by Liuli.
In a trance, the strange screams and ghost howls around him seemed to be much quieter, and he opened his eyes at this time, only to find that he was still in the room full of murals, and the huge Shura and fanged ghosts around him had disappeared, and his eyes swept around, and found that the murals were still there, but those ghosts and monsters Shura seemed to have returned to the murals.
He breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, but suddenly realized that although he had realized that he had entered the illusion of his heart, it was not so easy to break through the illusion and return to reality.
He naturally thought of the confrontation with King Garuda at the beginning, and it was the use of the [Demon Suppression Mantra] to break the heart of the King of the Flailou Luo, and there was no doubt that the [Demon Suppression Mantra] was the treasure to deal with his heart.
At this time, he was happy in his heart, and for a moment in his mind he clearly felt that he had the method to break his heart, and he was about to recite the [Demon Suppression Mantra], but at this moment, he suddenly found that although he knew in his brain that the [Demon Suppression Mantra] could break his heart, he didn't remember a word of the [Demon Suppression Mantra].
Chu Huan was shocked, his memory was amazing, and he had already memorized the mantra of [Demon Suppression Mantra] in his heart, which could be said to be unforgettable, and he could recite it when he opened his mouth, but unexpectedly, if he wanted to recite the [Demon Suppression Mantra] at this time, those mantras were like chaos, and he couldn't even remember a word.
It's like just finishing a meal, and when you eat it, you are so full of praise that you know how to make it, but when you leave the table, you forget what you have eaten.
This is extremely unbelievable.
It seems that he subconsciously deliberately erased the mantra of the [Demon Suppression Mantra], knowing that such a thing exists, but he didn't even have a word in his mind.
Chu Huan was stunned for a while.
It was deserted all around, and the ghosts and monsters on the murals were all looking at him with wide eyes, and those weird smiles seemed to be mocking Chu Huan's insignificance.
Chu Huan took a deep breath and recited the [Pure Heart Mantra] again, wanting to calm himself down, so as to recall the mantra of the [Demon Suppression Mantra], but the [Clear Heart Mantra] was recited more than ten times, Chu Huan's state of mind was not only not peaceful, but became more and more anxious, and soon, he heard the sound of strange screams and ghost howls around him, and looked left and right, those giant axe Shura and fanged ghosts actually rushed out of the mural again, surrounding him.
This time, the appearance of the ghost was even more hideous and terrifying, Chu Huan's heart panicked, and he caught a glimpse of a fanged ghost rushing over according to himself, and the momentum was violent, and he rolled on the spot immediately, rolled away, and before he could stabilize his body, he roared, and a Shura was already holding a battle axe with both hands, and he split it in the air.
Chu Huan's movements were agile, rolling past the feet of that Shura, there were more and more ghosts in the house, and the howls were becoming more and more terrifying, making people feel creepy, Chu Huan dodged left and right, although there were many ghosts, but their movements were indeed not fast, and they even accidentally injured their companions, although Chu Huan continued to dodge, he also knew that he was defending and attacking, and sooner or later he would always be injured by these ghosts.
In his confusion, he seemed to have forgotten that these ghosts were illusions.
Seeing that another giant axe Shura pounced on him, Chu Huan was about to dodge, but his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the mural behind the giant axe Shura.
It is a mural of the golden god of war, magnificent, the dragon is entangled, colorful, the back of the head of the golden god of war exudes the light of the Buddha, although the whole body is in gold armor, but the appearance of the god of war is very soft, full of compassion and compassion, the six dragons around the golden god of war each have a color, the six-colored dragon is lifelike, the momentum is amazing, as if to break out of the wall from the mural.
Chu Huan saw the six-colored dragon, his mind flashed suddenly, and he seemed to think of something, he had already blurted out two verses in his mouth, and almost when the scriptures were blurted out, the dragon groaned, and the six-colored dragon flew out of the mural in an instant, and the whole room suddenly glowed, the six-colored dragon groaned in unison, the heavens and the earth shook, their long dragon bodies could not be expanded in this small room at all, and the entire house was quickly filled with six dragons, and the giant axe Shura and the fanged ghost were in the glow, and they disappeared in an instant.
"Boom!"
A burst of collapse sounded, the six dragons had already broken through the roof and went straight to the sky, and the rubble flew and fell one after another, a huge horizontal log actually fell from mid-air, Chu Huan couldn't dodge, the horizontal log smashed heavily on Chu Huan's head, Chu Huan screamed, covered in a cold sweat, and at this moment, the light flashed in front of him, all the sounds were still, and there was a dead silence around him.
Chu Huan felt that his body was as if he had been soaked in water, drenched in sweat, he relieved himself, opened his eyes, but found that he was still in a hall, looked left and right, the mural had already disappeared, he had broken out of it, looked up, but saw a beautiful shadow in front of him, graceful and graceful. "Brother Chu, how are you?" A voice came from his ears, Chu Huan turned his head slightly, but saw that Luo Duo was looking at him with concern, but his eyes were obviously full of joy.
"Big brother, I had a nightmare." Chu Huan suddenly felt a chill all over his body, his forehead and face seemed to be full of water droplets, he raised his hand to wipe it, only to find that his face was covered with sweat, and his whole body was wet, obviously soaked in cold sweat.
Luo Duo suddenly laughed, turned his eyes to Liuli, and asked, "Viliuli, how is it now, can you believe it?" ”
But seeing that Liuli's figure shook slightly, her beautiful face was even paler, and she looked tired, but the corners of her red lips were a chuckle, and she said, "You really inherited the name of Naga, and I am finally relieved now." Speaking of this, Liu frowned slightly, moved lightly, went to the chair next to her, and sat down gently, although she looked exhausted, but her sitting posture was still elegant and beautiful.
Chu Huan looked at Liuli and then at Luo Duo before he said, "I had a dream just now, it seems that I have returned to the ghost master, that temple!" ”
"Viliuli's heart is clear, if he wants to make you fall into an illusion, it is naturally easy." Luo Duo said with a smile: "Brother Chu, you are extremely talented, although I don't know what you saw in the illusion, but you recite the [Pure Heart Mantra], in the illusion, it is really not easy to think of using the [Clear Heart Mantra] to calm your mind." ”
"It turns out that the eldest brother heard me reciting the [Pure Heart Mantra]!" Chu Huan smiled bitterly: "Later, it was those dragons who saved me!" ”
"Not a dragon!" Luo Duo shook his head and said: "That's the [Demon Suppression Mantra], the mantra is born from the heart, and it needs to be integrated into the heart in order to play a role!" ”
Although Chu Huan felt a little uncomfortable with the stickiness on his body, he really wanted to take a hot bath, but he naturally couldn't leave at this time.
Only then did Luo Duo turn his eyes to Liuli and said, "Viliuli, now that you have confirmed the identity of the Dragon King, does he have the right to sanction you?" ”
"Since it's the Dragon King, Liuli naturally has nothing to say." Liuli sighed faintly: "It's just that you two should know that the most important thing at the moment is not how to deal with me, but how to deal with the biggest threat to my Heart Sect." ”
"What do you mean?" Chu Huan frowned.
Liuli looked at Chu Huan with a soft expression, and said: "Chu Najia, you have the inheritance of the previous generation of dragon kings, I am very happy, at least the dragon king's lineage has not been broken, and the mantra is still passed down, otherwise I am afraid that there is no way to return to the sky!" ”
"What do you mean?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "What do you mean by returning to heaven without technique?" ”
Liuli looked at Luo Duo, and her red lips lightly opened: "Heaven and earth!" ”
Chu Huan was suddenly a little confused, and asked, "Heaven and earth?" What does this mean? "Secretly wondering what is the connection with the so-called "Sky Net" of Xichang Kingdom?
Luo Duo's expression was also grim, and he finally said: "Brother Chu, why we came to the Central Plains, you must be very clear now. ”
Chu Huan thought for a while, and finally asked, "Big brother, I heard a rumor, I don't know if it's true or not, and I want to ask you for advice." ”
"You say."
"As far as I know, back then, the princes of the Central Plains competed for hegemony, and the Qin State swept away the eight wildernesses, wind!" Speaking of this, Chu Huan frowned slightly, paused, but still said: "Feng Hanxiao's conquest of the northwest countries back then can be regarded as invincible, and the large and small vassal states in the northwest have also been conquered by the iron hooves of the Qin State. The eldest brother should still remember that when I was in Jinling, the wide-eyed Heavenly King once told me that the Japanese general of Tianmen Dao was the prince of Lu back then. ”
Speaking of this, Chu Huan couldn't help but look at Liuli.
He now knows that Tianmen Dao is tossed out by the disciples of the Heart Sect headed by Liuli, and the disciples of the Heart Sect belong to Buddhism, and in order to show that the Qin State has drawn a clear line with the previous dynasty that worships Buddha, since the founding of the country, it has worshiped the Tao and suppressed the Buddha.
The disciples of the Heart Sect wanted to stretch their hands and feet in the Qin State and expand their power, if they continued to play the banner of Buddhist disciples, they would not only be squeezed and suppressed by the Dao Sect that had risen at that time, but also easily attract the attention of the Divine Yiwei.
It is precisely because of this that from the very beginning, the disciples of the Heart Sect concealed their true identities as disciples of the Buddhist Sect and played the banner of Taoism.
The rise of Taoism, although later to the Tao of Immortality as the orthodox religion of Taoism, but at the beginning of the founding of the country, the various factions of Taoism were lined up, large and small Taoist sects, no less than 100, the soil of the Qin State was extremely suitable for the breeding and growth of Taoism at that time, and it was naturally impossible for Shenyiwei to strictly monitor every Taoist sect, so the disciples of the Heart Sect under the banner of Tianmen Dao were able to realize the expansion of Natu without any suppression.
Liuli is obviously an extremely good at managing the strength of the figure, although the name of Tianmen Dao is Tianmen, but it shows the shadow of the Taiping Road in the dark, which also shows that before the establishment of Tianmen Dao, Liuli has a great deal of knowledge in the history of the Central Plains, and has a lot of research on the Taiping Dao, and because of this, Tianmen Dao began to contact the Taiping Daoists hidden in the shadows.
Taiping Daoist disciples, naturally based on the Taiping Zhengyuan, the descendant of the Taiping Five Elements Banner, these people are extremely secretive, although Chu Huan knows very well that in the end, many of the Taiping Thirty-six Fang families have joined the Tianmen Dao and united with the disciples of the Heart Sect, but how the two sides came into contact with each other, Chu Huan is not clear.
It's just that Chu Huan can also imagine that the Thirty-six Fang family has been hidden for a long time, but the ancestral training they got is that one day they will revive the Taiping Dao and establish a peaceful Langlang Qiankun in the world, but all along, the Taiping remnants have been suppressed in all dynasties, so they can only sit back and wait for the opportunity, and they will never dare to act easily.
The sudden appearance of Tianmen Dao, and the rapid expansion of its power, will naturally attract the attention of the Taiping Thirty-six Fang Family, and Liuli under the banner of Tianmen Dao, the source of its creation and expansion is modeled after the Taiping Dao of the year, and the disciples of the Heart Sect naturally hope that the real Taiping Daoist disciples can appear, and the two forces become one.
Both sides have their own needs, and it is only natural that they will come together in the end.
It's just that Chu Huan is also very clear from Pei Ji's mouth that although the Thirty-six Fang family is all descendants of Taiping, they are not monolithic inside.
Pei Ji was born in the descendants of the Taiping Five Elements Banner, the Five Elements Banner is the Taiping Tiangong General Zhang Jiao's personal soldiers, when the five people were taught by Zhang Jiao of the Five Elements Dao, before the Taiping Road was destroyed, and other remnants of the Taiping Dao hidden, this is the Taiping Dao's largest remnant of the 36 Fang family, and the descendants of the Five Elements Banner are self-regarded as the source of the Taiping, is the true continuation of the Taiping Dao.
In comparison, the Thirty-six Fang Family naturally has the Five Elements Family as the core, and if it wants to gain the support of the Taiping Dao, there is no doubt that the Tianmen Dao will naturally win over the Five Elements Family.
Pei Ji is the descendant of the Tuxing family in the Taiping Zhengyuan, in Pei Ji's heart, if Taiping Dao wants to realize the long-cherished wish of General Tiangong and establish a peaceful and prosperous world, he must wait for the opportunity and rely on Taiping Dao's own ideas and strength to achieve it, and must not rely on other forces, otherwise he will abandon the foundation of Taiping Dao.
This is, of course, the philosophy that some of the 36 Fang families adhere to.
But there is still another part of the family, which is very different from Pei Ji's concept, if Pei Ji pays more attention to the process of Taipingdao, then some families pay more attention to the result, in the long wait, the requirements for the process are not so strict, which is represented by the Li Wang Sun of the Muxing family.
The identity of King Li Sun Ming on the face is the commander of the Praetorian Guard of Anyi Dao, but his real identity is one of the thirty-six families that have been inherited, and he is also a member of the Taiping Zhengyuan family.
Li Wangsun obviously didn't care about the process of achieving the goal, and did not maintain the independence of Taiping Dao like Pei Ji, but walked with Tianmen Dao, and became one of the seven generals of Taiping Dao because of this, General Mu, and the Lu family in Taiyuan was also one of the thirty-six Fang families, so they naturally followed Li Wangsun into Tianmen Dao.
The alliance between Tianmen Dao and the Thirty-six Fang Families, although each had its own purpose, also caused the power of Tianmen Dao to expand dramatically, and it led to a confrontation within the Thirty-six Fang Family.
In addition to some of the families of the Thirty-six Fang Family, Liuli even won over the remnants of the country after the failure to compete for hegemony with the Qin State, including the prince of the Lu State who was known to have died by the world.
This huge force can be said to have been built by Liuli single-handedly, forming a huge group of different forces gathered together to achieve their respective goals.
Luo Duo didn't speak, but Liuli bowed slightly, and said: "Yes, General Ri is the prince of Lu State, of course Feng Hanxiao did not kill the prince of Lu State." ”
Chu Huan said: "As far as I know, in order to chase the prince of Lu Kingdom, Feng Feng Hanxiao once crossed the Tianshan Mountain, crossed the desert, and arrived at your Futu Country!" ”
Luo Duo said: "Brother has already investigated clearly, you are right, since you know about this, what they have done over there, you naturally know very well." ”
Chu Huan's expression was solemn and he nodded slightly, "In this way, the wolf soldiers slaughtered the city, then that is the real thing?" ”
Luo Duo clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, sang the Buddha horn, and then chanted in a low voice, but it seemed to be exceeding the undead.
"In that case, I understand why you're making such a big move." Chu Huan sighed and stared at Liuli, "You are looking for Feng Hanxiao and Xuanyuan Pingzhang to take revenge, I can understand, but why did you implicate so many innocents because of this, since the Tianmen Dao got up, there have been endless disasters, how many innocent beings have been lost in the hands of the Tianmen thieves, Liuli, you are the king of the Buddha Sect, you should know that God has the virtue of a good life, saving one person is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, killing one person and destroying ten thousand Buddhas, Buddhism You are much more advanced than me, but why do you still create such a killing?" ”
Liuli's gaze did not dodge, she looked at Chu Huan, and asked slowly, "Do you know what the duties of the Heavenly King of the Heart Sect are?" Defend the Dharma and defend the path of demons. The beautiful face was calm, "The Lotus City was slaughtered and burned, the Holy Land of Buddhism, a wreckage, if it wasn't for the invasion of foreign demons, how could there be such a result?" Since there are external demons in the world, as the king of heaven, why can't this king take action to get rid of demons? ”
"But you are harming innocent people." Chu Huan said in a deep voice.
Liuli suddenly let out a coquettish laugh like a silver bell: "Dragon King, innocent people? In this world, there are only two ways: good and evil. There is not a single blood stained in the hands of this king, everything is just that they kill each other. If the heart is a still sea, colorless and phaseless, the eight winds do not move, and the demons in the heart are difficult to live, it will not fall into the hell of Shura. But there is a demon in the heart, the desire for profit is consumed, and the murderous heart is everywhere, this is the human heart of the demon, and the heavenly gate created by this king is just a test of whether the innocent people you said have good thoughts in their hearts, or evil spirits in their hearts. In his eyes, there was a hint of disdain: "The eight precepts of the Heart Sect, they have all violated them, could it be that this king let them violate them on their own and fall into a sea of suffering?" ”
Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Born in heaven and earth, if you want to be free of distractions and have a good heart, then you have already become a living Bodhisattva, and there are countless Bodhisattvas in this world." If everyone is born a bodhisattva, do they still need to practice chanting? Leaning forward, staring at Liuli, "You still don't know your mistakes, I don't know, this king is very suspicious of how many scriptures you read back then?" Everyone has evil thoughts in their hearts, and evil thoughts give rise to suffering, and it is precisely because of the suffering of the hearts of the people of the world that those supreme bodhisattvas will try their best to transform the people of the world and guide them to abandon evil from good. Whether it is Zen Buddhism or Heart Buddhism, those Bodhisattvas who save the suffering and help the world, don't they know that there are evil thoughts in the hearts of the world? If it weren't for the fact that they knew that people were evil, why would they still propagate the Dharma and let people be exposed to the Dharma? The gods and Buddhas of the heavens know that people's evil thoughts are difficult to peace, so they work hard to educate the world and guide people to the good path. However, the Heavenly Gate that you have created is contrary to the Dharma, which makes people follow the good and makes people eliminate evil thoughts and have good thoughts, but you are to lure out the evil thoughts of people's hearts to the maximum, leading them to the evil path, and abandoning the good thoughts in their hearts. You say that you have never killed a single person, but it is more hateful to persuade people to do evil than to kill tens of thousands! ”
Liuli stared at Chu Huan, obviously a little surprised, but she didn't expect Chu Huan to say such a big truth, and then frowned.
Luo Duo bowed his head slightly, and said, "The Dragon King has really understood the Dharma. In the final analysis, the true meaning of Buddhism lies in guiding the world from good to evil! Glancing at Liuli, he said, "Biliuli, you have practiced Buddhism since childhood, and this simple truth should be very clear." ”
Liuli moved her red lips slightly, but she didn't speak.
"The king knows your thoughts." Chu Huan sighed lightly: "When the Lotus City was destroyed, it must have caused a great blow to you, you came to the Central Plains from the east, and you came with a grudge, although I don't understand the Buddha, but I also understand that Buddhism is to persuade people to abandon grudges, but hey, although you are the king of the Heart Sect, but your heart is far from the Dharma, and you are going farther and farther." ”
"Grudge?" Liuli sighed and said, "Maybe!" Her expression still looked calm as water, but Chu Huan's words still seemed to cause a ripple in her heart.
Chu Huan looked at Luo Duo and said, "Big brother, there is something I have to ask you for!" ”
"You say!"
"I already know what happened in Lotus City back then." Chu Huan said: "Back then, three thousand wolf soldiers chased the prince of Nalu State, and after they arrived in Lotus City, they slaughtered and burned Lotus City, but they returned to the Central Plains only one out of twelve, but not long ago, I met a wolf soldier who went to Lotus City by chance, and I knew what happened!" ”
Rodo's expression was solemn and he said, "It turns out that there are still people who have survived." ”
"Yes!" Chu Huan nodded and said, "I know from him that the three thousand wolf soldiers attacked Lotus City back then and caused a monstrous disaster, but I have never understood one thing. ”
"What?"
"Big brother, Lotus City is the holy land of the Heart Sect, and it is said that there were hundreds of thousands of people in the city at that time!" Chu Huan stared at Luo Duo's eyes, "When I heard his description, it seemed that the Buddha Hall of the Heart Sect was in the Lotus City. ”
Rodo nodded, "Not bad." In fact, the Buddha hall project is huge, when the Buddha hall was built, a lot of manpower and material resources were used, and the cost was huge, and there were few palaces in the Western Regions that could be compared. The materials for the construction of the Buddha hall were presented by the countries that believed in the Heart Sect in the Western Regions, and in order to build the Buddha hall, all the countries had contributed manpower and material resources back then! ”
"In other words, the Holy King and the Eight Sects of the Heart Sect also live in Lotus City?" Chu Huan asked.
Rodo nodded, "Not bad." He is extremely smart, Chu Huan asked this, he has already understood: "The Dragon King wants to ask, the master of the Heart Sect is like a cloud, not only has eight tribes, but also has sixteen Arhats, thirty-six King Kongs, why when the wolf soldiers slaughtered the city, the eight tribes of the Heart Sect were nowhere to be seen, not only that, but even the Holy King did not appear?" ”
