Cultivation starts with time management

"Buddha candle demon." Kunlun mirror replied, "The cultivation base is probably in the demon king realm, I don't know the specifics."

The so-called Buddha candle demon is the burning of the ever-burning lamps in the temples, which is a common phenomenon in many dilapidated temples.

But it is really rare to be able to reach the Demon King Realm, which is almost equivalent to the fairyland of monks.

At this point in his thoughts, Wei Dongliu saw the old monk in front of him suddenly stand up slowly, turned around and said:

"There are few visitors in the temple, and the hospitality is not good, please forgive me."

Before the words were finished, the two saw a long table suddenly appeared in front of them, on which were placed two plain flower and celadon cups, the tea in the cups was fragrant and steaming.

The corners of Wei Dongliu's eyes twitched. Although it's Shen's time, it's suitable for drinking tea, but who dares to drink this tea of ​​unknown origin?

Jiang Lifan also didn't dare to drink, but just stared at the old monk, hesitating whether to try it out.

As if aware of what she was thinking, the old monk suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted at her:

"What a devil! You almost got in the way, but you dare to sneak into my Daxiong Palace!"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Lian stretched out his robe sleeves, and several black lights rushed out from it, viciously biting at the old monk!

The old monk had no expression on his face, just stretched out his hand and flicked his fingers, and immediately extinguished several black lights. Jiang Liwen's face changed drastically in shock, and at the same time he hurriedly retreated out of the hall, he shouted:

"Immortal! Fellow Daoist Wei, go!"

Before she escaped from the main hall, a huge purple gold bowl fell from the sky, like a fly swatting a bug, and "slapped" Jiang Lian to the ground.

Fortunately, the old monk didn't seem to attack with all his strength, so Witch Jiang didn't become a puddle of flesh, but was only half of her body pressed down by the magic weapon of the bowl, unable to move, showing an uncertain expression.

"Strange, weird." The old monk murmured, walked to the side of the alms bowl, and stared at Witch Jiang with a tired expression, "You devil, how can you still speak human language? You know how to remind your companions to escape?"

"Master~" Jiang Lian was about to cry, pleading with pear blossoms in the rain, "The little girl came from a poor and humble background. Although she strayed into the devil's way, she often regretted and felt sorry for herself. If the master is willing to show mercy, the little girl will immediately turn her back on her ways after she leaves. , find the Taoist orthodox sect and take refuge in goodness!"

She swore again and again and begged softly, but the old monk ignored him and just turned to Wei Dongliu and said:

"You practice orthodox Taoism, who is this devil?"

Wei Dongliu hesitated a little, and noticed Jiang Lian who was being held down by the bowl next to him, with a pleading and miserable expression on his face.

Indeed, if I admit that I have something to do with her, I might be killed by this old monk as an accomplice of the devil...

But you are also a monster yourself!Pretending to be a human eminent monk, beheading what rape and what evil?

Putting all the current clues together in one place, Wei Dongliu immediately made an inference and said:

"Jiang Daoyou came here with me. We are old friends. If there is any offense, please forgive me, master."

The old monk was a little surprised when he heard that, while Jiang Lian opened his mouth slightly and looked at him with a complicated expression.

"How could you... Oh, Amitabha." The old monk held up his palms and said in a verse:

"Once you lose your body, you will never be able to recover. Temporarily sent to the human world, you will always live in hell. The rewards of suffering are boundless, and it begins with the three poisons. Love is implicated, and you are bound by yourself. Don't get bored, when can you get rid of it?"

While shaking his head and chanting, he sat back on the futon and began to knock on the wooden fish.

Chapter 57 Encountering the Heavenly Demon in the Prisoner's Temple

The old monk knocked on the wooden fish and chanted sutras in his mouth.

"What's your address, senior?" Wei Dongliu asked respectfully.

The other party ignored it.

"Senior, is the Mahayana, the Middle Vehicle, or the Hinayana?" Wei Dongliu asked again.

The other side still ignored.

"Although my companion has cultivated the way of magic, he is not a heinous person." Wei Dongliu persuaded cautiously, "If senior can raise his hand, I will be very grateful."

The other party still ignored, just blindly knocking on the wooden fish.

Wei Dongliu turned around and gave the poor Jiang Lian a look of helplessness.

Jiang Liyan replied with a "please" look in her eyes.

Wei Dongliu ignored her eyes asking for help, and was about to walk inside when he suddenly heard the old monk say:

"Let her go, yes. But there are two points."

"First, the karma is too heavy on her. If you beg me to let her out, then the karma will be implicated on you, and you have to bear it."

"Secondly, you need to find the Flying Smoke Sword, it's in the depths of the apse."

"But the apse has been occupied by monsters. If you want to get the sword, you have to go through there, and you must first copy the scriptures here, otherwise you will die if you enter."

Wei Dongliu:?

He wanted to say something else, but the old monk just waved his hand, and immediately there were desks, chairs, rice paper, pens and inks, and a neat stack of bound books in front of him.

Well, you are a fairy, you have the final say.

Wei Dongliu calmed down, sat down on a chair, and began to grind ink slowly.

Half of Jiang Liwen was pressed under the bowl, sometimes looking at Wei Dongliu who was concentrating on writing, and sometimes peeping at the old monk who was chanting sutras and chanting Buddha.

Wei Dongliu copied a piece of rice paper and suddenly felt something was wrong.

This seems... not like a Buddhist sutra that talks about Li Tanxuan, but rather like a collection of fables composed of many short stories, mainly about how Bo Xun, the demon king of the sixth heaven, fought against the great power of Buddhism.

According to the scriptures, from the top of the sky is the world of desire, and there are six heavens, the sixth of which is called "heaven of other transformations". The creatures in the world of desire are all good at changing, and can stir up the six desires in people's hearts. , Corrupting people's Dao foundation, causing people to fall without knowing it, is "the worst in the world of desire", so they are called demons by people.

He Huazizai Heaven's highest place is called "Liu Yu Ding", in which lives the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven "Bo Xun", who has five hundred daughters called "Witch Girls", and his subordinate "Magic Envoys, Demon Sons, Demon Women, Demon Women" Men, women, men, women, left and right", often go down to the realm to disturb the monks' practice.

After copying all the scriptures on the desk, Wei Dongliu already had an extremely complete understanding of the creature "Heavenly Demon", and also guessed what kind of "demon" was waiting for him in the apse next.

"Thank you master." He stood up and saluted the old monk sincerely.

The old monk still ignored him.

Wei Dongliu came to the side of the bowl, squatted down, and said to Jiang Lian:

"Please Jiang Daoyou stay here for a while, I will go back as soon as I go."

Witch Jiang really wanted to say, "Don't leave," but she wasn't an impulsive person after all. Knowing that she could only bet that the old monk would keep her promise, she showed a flawless smile and said:

"Wei Daoyou just go, I can hold on for a while."

"Yes." Wei Dongliu stood up and walked towards the back of the hall.

Turning around the main hall, I saw that the surrounding light suddenly darkened.

Candles flickered on the wall, and the terrain gradually extended downwards.

After a while, they came to another side hall with three large characters written on the plaque:

Prisoner Hall.

Wei Dongliu remained calm, told Ah Jing to help him pay attention to the surrounding dangers, and then walked in.

I saw a main road in the middle, with rows of statues of Arhats on the left and right sides, their expressions were either indifferent or glaring, and they all held alms bowls in their hands.

In each bowl, there were continuous bangs, as if something inside was hitting the inner wall.

Maybe there are demons imprisoned inside?Wei Dongliu suddenly had such an idea.

After turning a few corners ahead, he suddenly found himself a little lost.

Inside the Demon Prisoner's Palace, there are statues of Arhats on the left and right sides, and there are no landmark buildings, making it impossible to distinguish east, west, south, north.

Just as he was about to ask Ah Jing if he could make a small map or something to record all the routes he had traveled, he saw a cloud of black mist suddenly appear in front of him.

The mist came very quickly, and it pounced on the mask almost instantly. Wei Dongliu was not afraid in the face of danger, just pulled out the Five Elements Divine Light, and brushed it lightly at the opponent, and screams immediately rang out in his ears.

"Shangxian, spare me!" Seeing that the divine light was too powerful, the opponent decisively resorted to the gecko's tail-cutting tactic, but a small cloud of mist escaped from the enveloping range of the five-element divine light, and then rolled on the ground, turning into a graceful figure The beautiful woman begged bitterly:

"The little girl was impatient and offended the Shangxian. She should have been punished, but she dared to ask the Shangxian to spare her life!"

"Are you a heavenly demon?" Wei Dongliu asked calmly, keeping Shen Guang away.

"Yes." The woman said timidly, "The little girl is called 'Ai Lian'. If the Lord Shangxian wants to search for something, the little girl is willing to lead the way."

Love?Wei Dongliu frowned slightly, remembering the scriptures he had copied before.

But it was said that the sixth day demon king Bo Xun had five hundred daughters, each of whom had the ability to change and change. When walking in the lower realm, they often used the word "love" as their surname... So he asked:

"Are you the daughter of Mopoxun?"

Ai Lian immediately lay down on the ground, shivering and said:

"No, how can the little girl be worthy of being a princess? This name is not given by His Majesty, but the little girl chose it at will."

After Wei Dongliu listened patiently, he thought that the Heavenly Demon was always cunning, and he didn't know if it was true or if it deliberately lied to deceive him, so he continued to ask:

"Why are you here?"

Ai Lian said softly:

"Reporting to the Immortal, this place used to be Jinao Island of the Jiejiao, and the immortals of the Jiejiao invited us to come down to the heavens and humans to enjoy rituals, music, singing and dancing together."

"Afterwards, during the Great War, Jin'ao Island also fell into the war. I waited for some of the celestial beings to escape back to the heavenly realm, and the rest couldn't escape. They were suppressed and imprisoned here by the powerful Western religion. It has been more than [-] years. "

"The little girl broke free from the seal by chance almost hundreds of years ago, but she couldn't leave this hall. Earlier, she dared to offend the Shangxian, and she also wanted to attach to the Shangxian and leave here, but she didn't really dare to do anything evil. Nian, please forgive me."

Wei Dongliu listened to her argument with a blank face, thinking that the demon is really talking nonsense this day.

What does the Jiejiao monk want to do with the demon, how can I not know?

Most likely, Jiejiao monks are here to lure the demons to the lower realms, and then refine them into demon heads to drive them, just like what the demons do today.

Then in the battle of Chanju, Jinao Island was captured by Chanjiao and Xixijiao, and these demons who had no time to escape were suppressed here.

Seeing his indifferent expression, Ai Lian tentatively said:

"If Shangxian wants to find something here, the little girl is willing to lead the way."

"Can you read my mind?" Wei Dongliu stared suddenly.

"That's not the case!" Ai Lian fell down again, "To teach the Immortal to know, the little girl can only see some of your thoughts, like boiling water in a copper furnace, you can see the steam on it; as for the Immortal's heart What are you thinking, unless you let the little girl dive into the sea of ​​consciousness, you won't know."

After Wei Dongliu heard her finished speaking, he thought to himself that Heavenly Demon still has such abilities?It was not mentioned in the scriptures.

It's just that the other party's words are true and false, and it's hard to say how many lies are mixed in. I don't believe it at all, and I just let it lead me the way.

Chapter 58 Abi Demon Lord

Ai Lian led the way, while Wei Dongliu strolled behind.

According to what the other party said, the alms bowl in the hand of the arhat statue is the sealing magic weapon to imprison the demon.

Along the way, Wei Dongliu saw that there were indeed a few bowls with a hole in the bottom, and the demon inside seemed to have escaped.

I don't know how many demons have been released in this prisoner's palace.

Well, this guy probably lured me into the encirclement, or why didn't he even meet a single escaping demon along the way?

Thinking of this, Wei Dongliu looked again, but found that the front was empty, where was the half shadow of that love and pity?

It's kind of interesting that the heavenly demon can escape right under my nose...

Thinking of this, Wei Dongliu pulled the Qingping sword out of his body, and then raised the Ten Thousand Ghosts and Essence Sword behind him.

Two flying swords were suspended in the air at the same time, one black and one purple, full of evil spirits.

Then, he reversed the magic and clearing the turbidity scriptures, and transformed all the Taoist true energy in his body into pure magic energy, so his hair immediately turned red, his skin color deepened, and there were hidden flames beating in his pupils. Began to become evil and unruly.

Wei Dongliu's human talent "chaos demon body" can be immune to the erosion and pollution effects of demon energy, allowing it to flow freely in the body like Taoist true energy.

In this way, demon energy can be used to deal with heavenly demons, which can be regarded as fighting poison with poison.

He poured demonic energy into the flying sword, and the Wangui Xiejingjian immediately cheered and jumped up, and even the sluggish soul fragments in the sword let out a contented cry.

Although the Qingping Sword is a Taoist flying sword, it doesn't seem to be resistant to the devilish energy, and it was completely soaked in by the devilish energy smoothly, and its spirituality was not affected in any way.

"This chaotic demon body is interesting." Qingping Jianling said hehe, "If it is driven by demonic energy, my sword's way will also change, and I can practice with those demons later."

"No hurry." Wei Dongliu said coldly, "The Ten Thousand Ghosts and Essence Swords come first, let's use them to test the sword."

As the demonic energy circulated in his body, some kind of cold and brutal emotion began to infect his mind, causing Wei Dongliu's eyes to glow coldly.

Dare this chaotic demon body also affect the mind?Broken Mirror, is this your Mirror Flower in Water Moon?It's ridiculous!

"Take it away." Kunlun Mirror said helplessly, "The devil's energy will indeed magnify your desire, but as long as the willpower is firm, you can still resist it with reason..."

"I Wei Dong is popular, why do you need to talk about it!" Wei Dongliu swung his robe sleeves and strode forward.
