Chapter 716 The Way to Ignite the Fire of Karma Is to Kill

Master Mingwu said, returning the Soul-Calling Nail and Qiankun Pearl to Rong Leng.

Rong Leng took it and lowered his head to look at it. He couldn't help but guess that the incomprehensible characters and symbols on the beads might be the characters from the Western Regions.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Master Mingwu was unwell and spoke very slowly, but he spoke very clearly. Master Mingwu did not ask Liu Wei and others how they obtained these two things, nor did he ask about the whereabouts of the glazed mirror and Tianxiang Jade at this time.

Master Mingwu only told what he knew - the legend that was somewhat ancient but still popular in the Buddhist world.

Buddhism in the Central Plains was originally introduced from the Western Regions.

The Western Regions are considered the ancestors of Buddhism.

The aura of the Western Regions has given birth to more Buddhist allusions than the bustling and noisy Central Plains. One of the most familiar ones is the Eight Treasures Fire.

According to legend, the eight treasure karma fire was encountered by the Buddha when he was going down to the lower realm to overcome adversity in a certain life.

It was a year of disaster, with flooding and torrents everywhere. It was said that the person who could control the flood was a young man named Babao from a remote village.

The Eight Treasures were as big as a five-year-old child when they were born, and grew an inch a day. Within a few days, they grew to the height of a normal boy.

At this point, he has stopped growing.

It doesn't last long, but it really doesn't last long. When his younger siblings grow up, get married, and grow old, he will still look like a teenager.

In the Western Region, which believes in the laws of gods and ghosts, such children will not be regarded as monsters by the villagers, but will be regarded as lucky stars.

People in every village long for a talented person in their village who can lead the entire village to become rich.

That Babao was loved by the whole village. He had regarded himself as the center since he was a child. He was eccentric and domineering, but even so, there were countless people who tolerated and loved him.

At this time, the flood appeared.

At first, I don’t know who said that only the Eight Treasures prodigy could cure this flood. Anyway, later on, the Eight Treasures was praised as the only person who could cure the water.

When the Buddha came to the village, he saw the young man named Babao, surrounded by the villagers, worshiping something in the sky.

The Buddha only took one look and knew that the method of offering sacrifices to heaven was wrong. Heaven could not receive any prayers from the lower world.

But the Buddha also discovered that the young Eight Treasures was indeed a different person.

This person is none other than the former king of the demon world, Donghuang Taiyi.

Everyone knows that the so-called heaven is not something that exists from the beginning.

But it was established by the demon world.

There are two people who established the Heavenly Court and proclaimed themselves emperors, Taiyi and Emperor Jun.

Taiyi is the emperor and is called the Emperor of Heaven.

But not long after the demon established the Heavenly Court, he encountered a battle that destroyed the world. At this point, the Heavenly Court was finally destroyed, and Taiyi and Dijun lost their lives.

Then, the great sage Hongjun took the initiative and sent the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother to re-establish the heaven. At this point, the new heaven became dominated by Taoism, and the demon clan had to shrink, and there was no longer a hegemon in the sky.

But Donghuang Taiyi, who everyone said had been wiped out in ashes long ago, actually survived and was reincarnated as a mortal.

Who is the mother of mortals? Nuwa. Nuwa is Fuxi and has the body of a snake with a tail. Nuwa was originally from the demon clan. She became a saint because of her merits in creating humans.

Nuwa and Taiyi knew each other. Nuwa, who had become a saint, naturally knew about Taiyi's disaster. When she was a member of the same clan, Nuwa helped him.

But I didn’t expect that Donghuang is Donghuang. Even if he is allowed to be an ordinary human, he will never be ordinary. He is different from the others when he is born and cannot be stopped. Moreover, he belongs to the demon clan and has a temperament that he has not been since he was a child. An honest boy, very bearish.

After Buddha discovered Donghuang's true identity, he guided him. In the end, Donghuang, the Eight Treasures, really cured the flood.

However, after spending some time in the middle, he also turned into the Eight Treasures Karma Fire.

The Soul-Calling Nail, Qiankun Pearl, Glazed Mirror, and Tianxiang Jade are the four boys who once protected him. The four boys followed the eight treasures and succeeded in controlling floods, which has become a legend throughout the ages.

After listening to Master Mingwu telling the legend to this point, Rong Leng couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "So, the Soul-Calling Nail and the Qiankun Pearl are the two objects that reach the sky?"

Master Mingwu gave Rong Leng a strange look and said, "Of course not."

Rong Leng: "..."

"Legends are just legends, and these two are just fakes made by monks from the Western Regions, imitating ancient legends and selling them for money."

Rong Leng: "..."

Master Mingwu added: "It's just that although the thing is fake, the talisman on it is real. The talisman engraved on it is indeed the talisman that ignites the eight treasures' fire drawn in the ancient book."

"So, someone wants to use this legend to do something?"

Master Mingwu said: "Donghuang is a demon. He is bloodthirsty and greedy for killing. The way to ignite the fire of karma is to kill."

Rong Leng understood.

Some people, under the guise of Buddhist legends, want to massacre their favorite targets.

From this point of view, both Princess Yuping and Qin'er were just pawns in the killing, and the real murderer's purpose behind the scenes was not them. He wanted to make the entire palace bleed into a river.
