Chapter 436 Illusion (Happy New Year!)
So hungry, really hungry...
Fahai, who was slightly lost in his mind, fell into a illusion under the continuous and strong sense of hunger. He vaguely saw a thin child curled up pitifully in the corner of the wall, motionless, constantly enduring endless torture of hunger.
The young child would cry at first, but slowly he began to fall into a semi-coma. He would only be a little more awake when his sister, an equally thin girl, brought back some very shriveled sweet potatoes, withered wild vegetables, or some wreckage of unknown insects or something.
But hunger makes people crazy. He is so hungry that he can't see more and more scars on his sister's body. Whenever there is something in his stomach, he will feel...
Even more hungry.
"Oh!" Fahai sighed. He could see that the strong sense of hunger had completely occupied the child's heart, and he would soon fall into a ghost.
But Fahai did not stop him. He knew that what he saw now was just the other party's memories, a past that had already happened and could not be changed.
Combined with what Daoji said, Fahai had already predicted the future of the siblings, and was both helpless and angry.
"Who is the master of Fang playing such a joke with me?"
Fahai's voice was low, but it was like thunder, trying to shake the entire illusion.
But what surprised Fahai was that his actions of shaking the four directions with the thunder sound method did not produce any effect, as if there were no illusions around him, and everything was true.
"Ommani Bomi Moo...Ommani Bomi Moo..."
Fahai formed a seal with his hands, his lips moved slightly, and the sound of the Buddha sounded. When the Buddha sound first appeared, it was as thin as a mosquito and flies. After a while, it was like a big bell, with endless Buddhist thoughts, mixed with the sacred breath, and it spread louder and louder, and it became farther and farther, as if countless thunderbolts exploded into the world.
Not only that, with Fahai's continuous chanting of mantras, the sounds overlapped with each other. Before the sound of the previous word had dissipated, the next word followed closely. After repeated repeated words, the Buddha's voice turned from a person's Zen singing to the overlapping of thousands of monks' recitations.
But the illusions around her remained the same. Fahai watched the child bewitched by a man and thought that there was a fragrance on his sister, which was left behind after she hid in the haystack and ate.
Under the "sponsorship" of the man, the child got a slender wooden thorn, and when his sister came back, he stabbed it out.
"Namo Amitabha!" Another Buddha's name was heard, Fahai sighed, and the surroundings dissipated. He looked around and spoke again: "Senior, don't you want to show up?"
"You are more calm than I thought." A chuckle sounded, and then a young man riding a seven-color deer with a slender golden needle in his hand appeared in front of Fahai.
The young man was wearing a golden and silver Taoist robe, with a handsome face, his eyes were full of spirit, and he exuded a bright light, unlike a mortal, but there was a divine light surging around his body, turning the brilliance of the sun and the moon around him.
Fahai observed carefully and found that after removing his inhuman feeling, he was sixty-sixth similar to Yuchen. He sighed and said, "The little monk has seen Yuchen Zhenren, but I wonder why the real person made such a joke with me?"
"Although I am the incarnation of Yuchen, I am not him. You can just call me Ming Shang."
As he said this, he patted the antlers of the seven-colored deer and continued to move forward with Fahai: "As for this illusion, I am not joking with you. It is because I was entrusted by your teacher to give you some advice."
As the two continued to move forward, Fahai saw that the child was killed by others after killing his sister. The bodies of the siblings became the food for several families in the village at that time.
The extreme hunger before death, combined with the regret that killed my sister and the anger of being shared after death, turned the child into a hungry ghost and devoured those families.
But what is strange is that the boy who turned into a hungry ghost did not continue to kill other people, but wandered around on the earth, devouring those who eat people.
Some of these people may have to do anything, some are helpless, and some are just to taste it, but they are the same in front of hungry ghosts.
After devouring hundreds of people like this, the hungry ghosts also fell into hell under the pull of karma.
"Fahai, what would you do if you encounter this hungry ghost?"
Fahai was silent for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Although what this hungry ghost did is understandable, if I encounter it, I will still take action to subdue the demons."
Yuchen nodded when he heard this, and did not make any comments. He continued to lead Fahai forward.
As we walked, new changes appeared in the surrounding scenes, and a new illusion spread out.
"I thought you would comment a few words in real life." Daoji, who was lying on the light boat, looked at the turbulent black water in front of him, and the water surface that was like a mirror reflected the continuous progress of Fahai and Mingshang.
Yu Chen, who was riding on the back of the green cow, smiled and said, "I thought you would be clearer. To wake up a person, it is not to impose his own thoughts on the other party, but to let the other party understand it themselves."
"After that being said, Fahai's Zen mind is firm and difficult to shake. Unless you experience it personally, it will be difficult to shake it. Therefore, I wonder if you are ready to take a blow."
Yu Chen smiled and said, "It's not necessary to wake up the blow. Fahai has a deep Buddha nature. After communicating with you, he understands the idea of seeking common ground while reserving differences. He doesn't have that much rejection of the illusions behind, and I have prepared enough illusions. After Fahai has read them, he can always understand something."
When Daoji heard this, he asked curiously: "How many illusions have the real person prepared?"
"Not many, only about eight hundred. If you need it, you can add a little more."
The plain words shocked Daoji a little. He looked at the illusion below, and the rich emotions revealed in them were enough to make normal people crazy.
There were actually eight hundred such illusions, and he was even more amazed by Yu Chen's attainment in illusion.
The next second, Daoji froze again. If he remembered correctly, he was also a link to awaken Fahai. Although before Fahai entered, he had already demonstrated the inclusiveness of Buddhism and Taoism through his own substantial example, he still needed some guidance from the rest.
This means that Daoji has to follow the many illusions behind him.
Although these illusions prepared by Yuchen are very helpful for immortals and Buddhas to think about their own behavior, they can observe eight or nine hundred tragic stories at once and feel those extreme emotions. Even if Daoji's mentality will not be affected, his emotions will definitely not be much better.
For the sake of his physical and mental health, Daoji thought about it and asked very carefully: "The real person, the illusion behind him will not be all such depressing stories."
"Of course not. Simply suppressing and sin cannot make Fahai understand it, so these stories naturally need to give Fahai some insights from all aspects."
When Yuchen spoke, Daoji breathed a sigh of relief. After Yuchen finished speaking, Daoji's expression collapsed again. He looked at the water pitifully and said, "Monk, I'm just working hard."
"Since that's the case, I'll give you a treasure as a reward for fellow Taoist, how about it?" Yu Chen looked at Daoji's appearance and knew that he was greedy. He smiled and took out a yellow gourd and handed it to Daoji.
"Is it wine? If it's not good enough, I won't follow the monk."
Daoji took the gourd from Yuchen's hand, opened the mouth, took a sip, and a spicy smell poured into his throat, and then it seemed like the flames burned, making his face red.
But this is not wine, but simple spicy. Daoji was stunned for a moment and took another sip, but this time it tasted extremely bitter.
A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. The third time was sweet and the fourth time was sour.
He picked up the gourd and shook it, starting to be silent, then there was a sound.
"The ups and downs and downs of the world are all the flavors in one mind. Whether it is there or not depends on one thought. It is really a good baby! What a good baby!"
As Daoji said, he picked up the gourd and took a sip, lay on the boat, shaking the fan, and no longer spoke.
Yuchen also smiled, patted Qingniu, and said, "Niuer, let's go!"
The green cow, covered in black patterns, shook its tail and slowly left the black water. A faint light emitted from its large cow's horns, cutting through the void and walking towards the outer periphery of the underworld.
This green cow is a spiritual beast transformed from Yuchen into an ugly cow in a time-series rat, combined with the earthly energy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the old world, which exists between true and false. In order to stabilize its individual concept, Yuchen did not truly leave its back after bringing it to the new world.
Now Yuchen takes the green bull and walks among the earth veins of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. On the one hand, he sorts out the earth veins of the old and new worlds, absorbs the power of the new world, and gives the green bull a real concept.
On the other hand, Yu Chen also took the opportunity to further occupy the authority in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, and cut off other caves and blessed lands, which may still retain the breath of the dark world, which can be used to evolve a small dark world.
Most of the Lords of the Cave Heaven and Blessings in Jiangsu and Zhejiang cannot see the inside story about Yu Chen's actions.
They only knew that after Yuchen finished this, he did have some benefits to their blessings. Except for a few existences, most of them had no idea of stopping them.
Only Qingtongjun, the Lord of the Great Way of Tomorrow, who knows the old and new worlds and is given the supervision responsibility by His Majesty the First Emperor, truly understands what Yuchen is doing.
"I just asked a fellow Taoist to discuss it, and the fellow Taoist began to solve the problem so quickly, which really made me ashamed." Qing Tongjun's figure appeared on the earth veins, and under his feet was the little essence of the dark world corresponding to the Great Way of Weiyu Cave tomorrow.
These underworlds are full of old and decay. It is obviously collected by the other party from the old world in a special way before the birth of the green bull.
Seeing this, Yuchen smiled and said, "I think it's better to hold it in my hands than to give the initiative to fellow Taoists. And, as soon as you left that day, someone came to me."
Qing Tongjun said in surprise: "Who is it?"
"The great master of Buddhist Zen, Zen Master Lingyou, the first ancestor of Weiyang Sect."
As soon as the name came out, Qing Tongjun narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Buddhism would make a move too! I wonder what conditions the other party gave?"
"He just asked me for help and let me know."
Yuchen concealed some facts and told Qingtongjun everything that Zen Master Lingyou accidentally realized the light of the Buddha, traveled to the Pure Land, listened to the Buddha's preaching, and received guidance from a Bodhisattva.
"Seeing the Buddha's light?" Qing Tongjun heard this, his face looked slightly solemn, and he said softly: "It seems that Lingyou is in big trouble!"
Yuchen asked with the opportunity: "How do you say this?"
"After the opening of the scientific instrument, His Majesty the First Emperor completely closed the channels of the two realms, and the connection between the two paths of immortals and Buddhas was the focus of defense. Even if the outside world still had the guidance of Buddha light and the guidance of immortals, they could only go out but not in. How do you think the other party came back?"
Yu Chen did not speak up when he heard this. His focus was more on His Majesty the First Emperor completely closed the channels between the two realms, and the world could only go out but not enter these two points.
Yuchen naturally knew why he was able to come in, but what would others think?
Yu Chen, who was thinking in his heart, had no change on his face and said, "Maybe, what Zen Master Lingyou calls the so-called divine wandering in the Pure Land has not actually left the world?"
"Lingyou is not an ordinary person. He cannot not know whether he has left the world or not." Qing Tongjun smiled, and his words almost blatantly told Yuchen his guess.
"Qingtongjun, do you mean that the paradise that Zen Master Lingyou travels in the old world?"
"This is not what I said." Qing Tongjun smiled and continued to talk about some secrets in a chatting tone: "As far as I know, before His Majesty the First Emperor closed the passages between the two realms, he used the power of humanity to cut off the Buddha's light and the Immortal Light. Among them, the Immortal Light scattered into the world and turned into a part of the vitality of heaven and earth. The Buddha's light was taken away by many Buddhist monks, trying to create a pure land that can carry everyone away."
Yuchen raised his eyebrows: "Did they succeed?"
"It was successful, but also failed." Qing Tongjun said with a smile: "They successfully created the Pure Land, but before leaving, His Majesty the First Emperor had completely closed the passages of the two realms and could not leave. Moreover, that Pure Land was originally created to leave our world. It has a strong aura of another world and is different from the world's origin. It is very likely that he has not replaced it with His Majesty the First Emperor's ritual."
"That's it!" Yu Chen nodded, and after he understood, he sat down and suddenly shouted. Some dark and dark land under Qingtongjun's feet turned into two ripples of blue smoke, surrounding Qingniu.
Accompanied by another shout from Qingniu, another wisp of Qingtong Jun flew out from his sleeve, and merged into the patterns on his body with the two wisps of green smoke in front.
"Thank you for your gift, so that my cow can further make up for it." After successfully getting what you want, Yu Chen smiled and changed his name to Qingtongjun to a fellow Taoist, bowing and saying, "I have other things, so I won't nag you with fellow Taoist. I'll talk to you next time I have time."
After saying that, Qingniu walked away, without any intention of giving Qingtongjun time to react.
Qingtongjun did not change at all when Yu Chen took away part of the essence of the underworld in his hands. He kept a smile and said softly: "Time? Or life and death? The magical power of this green bull is even more away than I expected. However, this is good, so I will leave this matter to Yu Chen for handling. I am happy to be idle."
After saying that, Qing Tongjun turned around and returned to his cave heaven, silently adjusting the breath of the cave heaven, which was more consistent with the current changes in the earth's atmosphere in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
After doing all this, Qing Tongjun seemed to remember something and passed on some of Yu Chen's news to the other colleagues. At the speed of Qing Tongjun's message, when several of his colleagues knew about this, Yu Chen had already completed the work of sorting out the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang veins, stabilizing the Yin World and Underworld.
