Chapter 363 Emperor

The main altar of Zijia Hall is called Yunping Mountain.

Yunping Mountain is located in the northern border of Xihuangdao. It is the highest plateau area in Dayou. The terrain of Yunpingshan is dangerous. It is located in the Longji Mountains that block the Daxiye Country, the Western Desert and the Xihuangdao. The scenery here is unique and eye-catching. They are all continuous snow-capped mountains, glaciers, and biting cold wind.

Yunping Mountain itself is a pass-like terrain at the end of the snow-covered plateau. If you can cross Yunping Mountain, go all the way west and climb the continuous mountains behind, you can go there.

In the western desert, go to the Great Western Night Country.

The surrounding mountains of Yunping Mountain are very strange, and the surrounding terrain is low, but in the center there are clusters of strange peaks. It seems that it is not affected by the snowy climate. If it is the spring equinox, the mountains will be green and deep, exuding a strong and ancient mysterious atmosphere. Since ancient times, It has since been regarded as an ancient mountain with spiritual peaks.

Yunping Mountain is famous for its "Twelve Lotus Ping Peaks". The twelve peaks are shaped like swords and arrowheads facing the sky, standing side by side, competing for momentum. Only the Yunping Peak surrounded by them is shaped like the mouth of a bottle. The height is the most astonishing. It protrudes from the peaks like a flock of chickens. It reaches the sky and reaches the clouds. Only the mouth of the bottle is deeply sunken.

There is also a small group of indigenous residents living in the snowy area. They have regarded Yunping Mountain as a sacred place since ancient times. They believe that there is a ferocious and terrifying demon god living in the mountain, and they never dare to break into the mountain.

Of course, this statement is not without reason. Zijia Palace was born in the Nine Evils lineage of Changsheng, and has always believed in the Wutong Demon Lord from outside the territory. This Demon Lord has a cruel personality and requires death and pain in order to exchange for its joy. , This also resulted in the cultivation methods and secret techniques inherited by the Zijia Palace lineage being extremely cruel.

Yunping Mountain is an entrance to the Abyss Realm, which goes straight to the depths of the Earth's Aperture. However, this entrance to the Abyss Realm was blocked by the first-generation master of the Zijia Palace with a secret method. The main reason why the lineage of the Zijia Palace can gain a firm foothold in Dayou is The reason is that Yunping Mountain itself is a long and deep underground hole, which reaches directly into the abyss deep in the earth. It is also a natural shelter.

If Dayou intends to eradicate the Purple Armor Palace and sends numerous masters and troops to attack, the Purple Armor Palace will not be able to give up its hundreds of years of foundation and use the formations that have been deployed for many years to blast through the earth's orifices and attract thousands of demons to rush to the surface. The destruction of several states and the erosion of thousands of miles of territory can turn the world into hell.

Of course, this is a method that will destroy both the jade and the stone. This method is very destructive. If it succeeds, the Purple Armor Palace will be severely damaged. Even if it severely damages the Great You Dynasty, its own family will be in a state of collapse.

Huge buildings were built on the sunken part of the top of Yunping Mountain. These buildings are shaped like fortresses, and there are also huge palaces, each one more majestic than the other. Among them, there is one of the largest palaces, which is called the "Five Palaces". Holy Cave Lingxian Mansion".

The whole body of this palace is made of gold and iron from the seabed, including Ten Thousand Years Cold Iron, Fine Gold, Taiyi Fine Iron, Coral Divine Gold, etc. It is integrated into one body and stands tall in the center of the halls. The broad and towering roof of the verandah has an overwhelming feeling. momentum.

In the middle of the main hall of the Five Saints Cave Lingxian Mansion, there is a huge statue of the Wutong Demon Lord. This statue is carved from obsidian. This god from outside the territory sits on a brass throne. Under its seat is A mountain of bones made of skulls.

This obsidian statue of the Five-Tong Demon Lord was blessed by the evil god from outside the territory after it was carved. It was shrouded in a bloody twilight, and its image became blurred. However, it was able to exude a majesty as vast as the abyss, which made people Looking up from a distance, I already have the urge to worship.

In front of the statue of the Wutong Demon Lord, there was a futon with a figure sitting upright.

This man was wearing a large white robe with wide sleeves blowing in the wind. His feet were bare and he sat cross-legged. This man did not wear a bun on his head, but simply tied his long, shiny, soft, straight hair back.

Judging from the back, this man is quite young, but his hair on the temples is a little white. His skin is healthy and smooth, without a trace of wrinkles or marks. He has a slender figure with no fat at all, and the white robe he wears is not tied with a belt. The clothes are open, exposing his thin figure, giving people a loose and carefree style.

This man is Jiang Lingxu, the master of the Purple Armor Palace. He is also the leader of the Wanfa Alliance who united the Ghost Cry Sect, Qi Soul Sect, and Cursed Sword Sect to form the Wanfa Alliance.

Jiang Lingxu has a delicate face. He has no beard, and his strong features reveal a feminine beauty.

In front of the master of the Purple Armor Hall, there is a big Buddha. This is a stone Buddha statue, covered with a cassock. This Buddha statue has its hands formed in a seal, which is a certain Buddhist meditation mark.

Jiang Lingxu was also forming seals. He also made the same seal with his palms. He was face to face with the Buddha statue. His right hand touched the ground seal, and his left hand was the fixed seal. There was a kind and peaceful look between his brows.

He seemed to be practicing, but he didn't really practice. He just made a gesture of sealing in front of the Buddha statue.

At this moment, a gray figure floated in from behind Jiang Lingxu. It was an old man wearing a gray robe.

On the robe that the old man was wearing, there was faint purple fire shining and ripples. If He Ping were here, he would definitely recognize this man as the Taoist master who cultivated the Zihe Demonic Flame that he met in southern Xinjiang that day.

The purple-robed old man's name is Ye Yuzhen, he is the head of the seven elders of the Purple Armor Palace, and he is also Jiang Lingxu's elder brother.

This Elder Ye was originally the next palace master appointed by the previous master of Zijia Palace. He was also a man of great influence. He was also a well-known figure among the new generation of disciples of Changsheng Jiuxie. However, after Jiang Lingxu was accepted as a disciple by the previous palace master, and emerged as a disciple, Ye Yuzhen, who was originally the senior disciple of the palace master, disappeared from the public, and no deeds were reported.

Outsiders thought that Jiang Lingxu had overtaken the momentum of senior brother Ye Yuzhen. In fact, it was Ye Yuzhen who was secretly hiding his clumsiness. In order to make Jiang Lingxu's reputation more prominent in the world, he kept his edge and remained unknown for decades. Complete Jiang Lingxu's title as the first among the Nine Evils.

Ye Yuzhen was originally arrogant and talented, and believed that only he could revitalize the reputation of Zijia Palace. He also had great ambitions in his heart and wanted to do something great.

Until Ye Yuzhen met his master, the last disciple accepted by the former master of Zijia Palace. Ye Yuzhen was convinced that this son was not a thing in the pool, and knew that only under the leadership of this person could the Zijia Palace rise among the Nine Evils, and even create unprecedented and shocking achievements.

From then on, he volunteered to assist his junior brother. When Jiang Lingxu took the position of the master of the Purple Armor Palace, he worked hard to help Jiang Lingxu take power. Unfortunately, Jiang Lingxu later failed to challenge the king of destruction, Xie Chongsheng. , but was defeated by Xie Chongsheng, the current leader of the Dragon Worship Sect, and has been silent for many years since then.

Jiang Lingxu also stayed in seclusion for a long time to recuperate, and stayed away from worldly affairs for a long time. Ye Yuzhen didn't even frown, and completely replaced Jiang Lingxu in controlling the affairs of the Purple Armor Palace, and carefully cultivated his disciples.

The friendship between him and Jiang Lingxu was very deep, and Jiang Lingxu naturally trusted his senior brother. He had long sensed that Ye Yuzhen had entered the hall of Donglingxian Mansion, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Senior Brother Ye, you are here."

When the old man in gray robe heard his voice, he nodded and asked: "Palace Master, I heard from the disciple who is serving you that you have been meditating in front of this Buddha statue for almost ten days. What on earth is this?" What kind of Buddha statue is it and why is it so attractive to you?”

Jiang Lingxu smiled slightly when he heard this.

"Brother, this is the Buddha of Merit and Virtue."

"Buddha of Merit?"

Ye Yuzhen shook his head and said: "You and I are ignorant. This is the first time I have heard of merits and virtues and Buddha."

"It's nothing. The so-called Merit Buddha is one of the countless incarnations of Buddha in the world. According to Buddhist scriptures, the Buddha has countless Dharmakayas, Response Bodies and Sambhogakayas in the past, future and present. Merit Buddha is one of them. Recite Saying the Buddha's name or paying homage to this Buddha can erase all the sins in the past life."

Jiang Lingxu chuckled and said these words.

"What a loud tone."

Ye Yuzhen sneered.

"Buddhism relies on this set of things to deceive those foolish men and women. It is said that chanting the Buddha's name can lead to rebirth in bliss, or that worshiping Bodhisattvas can eliminate disasters and relieve suffering, and even make sinners in hell transcend. If If this meritorious Buddha can really eliminate sins, doesn't it mean that there are no sinners in the world? After all, as long as you respect the Buddha, any evil person can be cleansed immediately."

"Brother, you made a mistake."

Jiang Lingxu said lightly: "The merits of Buddhism are not morality. They have nothing to do with good and evil, and have little to do with right and wrong. Seeing one's nature is merit, equality is equality, thinking without stagnation, seeing one's true nature, and having real and magical effects. For merit.”

"What does this mean?"

Ye Yuzhen frowned and asked.

"This involves the underlying logic of Buddhism, that is, cause and effect and sin. For example, if a bad person does evil and gets good results, it will still be good; and if a good person does good and gets bad results, it will still be bad. The essence of good thoughts and evil thoughts There is no difference, cause and effect is just the process of change in the world, just like what you sow, you will reap melons, and what you sow, you will reap beans..."

Jiang Lingxu is a rare master who has integrated the Taoist method of "Wu Tong Shen" with the Buddhist "Five Phases of the Wheel of Samurai", and has cultivated to the realm of the unity of Buddha and demon. He Ping and He Ping used the Shifang Senluo transformation to simulate The unity of Buddha and demon is different. The unity of Buddha and demon mastered by Jiang Lingxu is the unity of Buddha and demon that is closer to perfection.

In the same way, his attainments in Buddhism are also very high. Even if the eminent monks from Shichan Temple or the five major Zen monasteries revive, they may not be able to discuss and understand Buddhism better than Jiang Lingxu now.

The only people who can have a deeper understanding and a higher level of Buddhist scriptures than him are the Buddhist sects in the realm of manifesting the spirit.

"Buddhist people practice merit and virtue and pay attention to burning incense in temples on the way, worshiping Buddhas when they meet, and sweeping pagodas when they meet. Because only when the mind is united can one see one's nature and achieve enlightenment, and understand one's true nature. Then there will be merit."

"If you are a demon, a person with a cruel temperament and despicable behavior, you can also satisfy your own wishes, smooth your mind, gain merit, and understand your own nature."

"It should be noted that the pursuit of Buddhism is emptiness, self-liberation, jumping out of the three realms and not in the five elements. Buddhism is a transcendental method. To transcend the world, you must reach the spiritual realm without obstacles, understand ignorance, and remove all fetters. , all accessible, without stagnation in thought, arriving at the eternal true nature.”

Jiang Lingxu spoke every word while maintaining the seal of merit. His eyes reflected the strange images of the Buddhas. Countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were preaching in the void. In the blink of an eye, the Buddhas fell and turned into demons and demons, fighting to kill each other. Have fun,

With a thought of Buddha and Demon, Buddha and Demon became one, and Jiang Lingxu clearly reached an incredible realm at this moment.

Ye Yuzhen can also realize this. He feels more and more that his junior brother is unfathomable. After he successfully understood the Buddha and Demon's methods of entering Taoism, Jiang Lingxu's temperament can change at any time, whether he becomes a demon immediately or becomes a transcendent saint. , it seems that everything changes at will in his mind, it is really very magical.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Junior brother, I want to inform you of something. There is news from the imperial court. It is said that the You clan has secretly grasped the location of the treasures left by the leader of Shibi. The treasures are in the bones. In the Tao, based on the information from our insiders in the court, the You clan plans to send a group of people into the Bone Tao to uncover the treasures."

Ye Yuzhen said in a deep voice: "The Master of Shibi built a bone divine boat back then. It is a genuine treasure to suppress the religion. Even if it is not of that level, its fetus is rare. The Holy Emperor Zijia of our Zijia Palace, back then He was attacked by Taiyi Taoist Palace's Heavenly Escape Sword and Human Escape Mirror, and his foundation was injured. He has been hiding in the Yunping Mountain orifice to recuperate. If he can get the Bone Divine Ark, he may be able to regain his strength after dismantling it."

"The Bone Divine Boat?"

Jiang Lingxu nodded and said: "I have heard about this matter, but heavy objects like the Bone Divine Boat may attract masters of spiritual manifestation. Although I have become the leader of the Ten Thousand Dharma Alliance, other companies may not surrender. In the Purple Armor Palace, various families are secretly scheming. This Bone Divine Boat is indeed a good thing, but unfortunately it is also a troublesome thing after getting it. Anyway, it is difficult for us in the Purple Armor Palace to eat this food alone."

"What should we do?"

Ye Yuzhen asked quickly.

"Don't worry, even if you can't get the Bone Divine Ark, it's not an important issue. The most important thing now is to weaken the power of the imperial court."

Jiang Lingxu sneered.

"The imperial court can't really fall now, because once the pillar of You Emperor is gone, then when the future catastrophe comes, some people will definitely be affected first. However, the imperial court can't be too strong, only one point at a time Only by weakening the imperial court can we achieve the goal of our Ten Thousand Dharma Alliance."

"I see."

Ye Yuzhen suddenly realized.

"So we won't fight for the Bone Divine Boat this time, but we can take this opportunity to use the Bone Path to weaken the imperial court."

"Anyway, let's go to the Bone Path."

Jiang Lingxu smiled enigmatically.

"How to do it specifically? Just act on your own initiative when the time comes. Even if you can't get involved, you still have to find an opportunity to set off a fire!"

…

He Ping returned to the Sheng Mansion. He was in the main hall of the Sheng Mansion. On the table next to him were the Feiyu uniforms rewarded by the current Emperor You, as well as a magic weapon-grade long sword, and dozens of royal refining buffs. The elixir of cultivation.

The value of the reward itself is not high, but it represents the importance of Emperor You. However, it is a pity that when He Ping, that is, Sheng Yuzhou accepted the reward, he did not enter the royal family to directly meet the saint.

"It's a pity. I originally thought I would have a chance to meet the current Emperor You, but I didn't expect that this emperor was in very poor health. He didn't let me enter the palace to meet him. He just sent a few eunuchs to the palace to chant the decree..."

The fact that Emperor You is unwell today is well known to those who are well-informed in the officialdom of Dayou.
