Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Wow——

In the silently rotating whirlpool of the sea of ​​boundaries.

One by one, monks walked out.

These monks had dull expressions, as if they had lost their souls, and filed out of the whirlpool one after another.

Walking on the shiny stone floor, there was almost no sound.

The stone slabs reflected the grand and exquisite roof of the Buddhist temple above, as well as the statues of Arhats and Bodhisattvas sitting high on both sides...

Until the last monk walked out.

After a brief pause, a monk stepped out of the vortex.

Almost the moment he walked out, the vortex behind him closed silently.

The monk looked solemnly, and then raised his hand and bowed to the Bodhisattvas and Arhats guarding the place.

"The Supreme Buddha, Zhiwu, has seen the Bodhisattva Zhikong, the Bodhisattva Zhihai, the Bodhisattva Zhiyin... and all the Arhats."

"The Supreme Buddha."

In the empty Buddhist temple, there was suddenly the sound of countless monks chanting the Buddha's name together.

It is like the chanting of Sanskrit, which makes people feel peaceful.

However, inside the hall, the monks were like unconscious bodies and did not react at all.

“I’m back again.”

Beside Zhiwu, an unnoticed figure in a green robe was quietly hiding in the void with his hands behind his back. The two were only a few feet apart, but it seemed as if they were separated by a world.

His eyes swept silently across the entire hall.

Compared to the last time when there was only one Bodhisattva Zhikong in the hall, this time, both sides of the hall were filled with Arhats, some sitting or standing, with twenty-four on each side, looking at Zhiwu and the monks he brought back.

His face was kind, but his eyes were like those of a man selecting suitable livestock.

In the middle of the hall, there are three huge Bodhisattva figures showing the Dharma image.

The one in the middle was the Bodhisattva Zhikong whom he met when he came here last time. On each side was a Bodhisattva of slightly smaller stature, also sitting upright. Unlike the Arhats, their eyes fell on these monks with a bit of scrutiny.

However, no matter whether it was these three Bodhisattvas or the group of Arhats, no matter how he looked at them, they were not aware of anything.

The figure in green robe felt a sense of regret in his heart.

The last time he came, his realm was low, so he was very cautious, fearing that he would be discovered by these monks. He had to use the wind-driving staff to control the ability to transform, and turned into a speck of dust, hiding in the monk's clothes.

This time, he came with Zhiwu and stood in front of the monks openly, but no one noticed.

Time is indeed the most wonderful creation in the world.

I felt emotional.

Bodhisattva Zhikong, who was sitting high in the middle of the hall, withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, then smiled at Zhiwu:

"Zhi Wu Luohan has made great contributions in his trip to the Sea of ​​Chaos. I wonder if the situation in the Sea of ​​Chaos has changed, or if it is the same as we speculated before..."

Zhi Wu did not dare to be negligent, and told him everything he had seen, heard, and done in the sea of ​​​​turmoil.

Upon hearing that there was a fourth realm, Bodhisattva Zhikong and others couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"This Xiaocang Realm is quite hidden and has never been exposed over the years."

Upon hearing this, Bodhisattva Zhikong nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:

"This is a great merit. I will also report it to the great Bodhisattva in the West and record your merit."

"But before that... you, Zhiwu Luohan, need to bear with it for a while."

Zhi Wu was stunned:

"Wronged?"

Before he finished speaking, the Arhats all took action, and a golden net with the word "卍" engraved on it fell from the sky above the hall. A lotus also instantly floated up around the monks and Zhiwu's feet.

"Bodhisattva Zhikong, what does this mean?!"

Zhi Wu's expression changed slightly, but he didn't dare to move. He let the golden net cover him and all the monks. He immediately looked at the largest Bodhisattva in the middle, and his voice was full of confusion, shock and anger.

Bodhisattva Zhikong had a smile on his face, but there was no trace of smile on his face, and his voice was much colder:

"Don't be nervous, Zhiwu Luohan. I'm just worried that what happened to Puyuan last time will happen again, so I'm just doing a quick check."

"Although the Sea of ​​Chaos is filled with sins and it is impossible to truly attain enlightenment, there are always exceptions in the world. The Great Bodhisattva of the West suspects that someone deceived Pu Yuan last time and escaped from the Sea of ​​Chaos. In order to prevent someone from escaping again, he specifically ordered us to guard here well."

Although Zhi Wu was angry, he did not dare to vent his anger in front of Bodhisattva Zhi Kong. The eye between his eyebrows opened and closed slightly, and he said unwillingly:

"Even if there are cultivators who have achieved the goal of transcending the tribulation in the Sea of ​​Chaos, can they still hide it from my eyes?"

"It's hard to say, but it's just in case."

"You don't have to bear a grudge. I have already consulted the Great Bodhisattva of the North on this matter."

The smile on Bodhisattva Zhikong’s face completely disappeared. He held one end of the golden net in his hand and shook it gently.

The golden net quickly tightened.

Then he quickly stuck close to Zhiwu and the group of monks.

Hearing that the Great Bodhisattva of the North had acquiesced, although Zhi Wu was angry in his heart, he had to be extremely obedient.

The golden net was wrapped around them like a vine, and golden light was everywhere.

It got tighter, but there was no other change.

Bodhisattva Zhikong couldn't help but look slightly different:

"Could it be that the great Bodhisattva guessed wrong?"

"The last time Pu Yuan died, it had nothing to do with the Sea of ​​Chaos?"

Seeing this, the Bodhisattvas on both sides nodded slightly and whispered:

"Perhaps it was a mistake."

"Yes, Zhi Wushen's eyes can see through illusions. It's easy to hide it from him, so there shouldn't be any problem."

Zhi Wu saw that the golden net had not changed, and hurriedly said:

"Bodhisattva Zhikong, there shouldn't be any problem with this, right?"

Upon hearing this, Bodhisattva Zhikong frowned slightly and then said softly:

"Just be patient for now."

On the golden net, golden threads suddenly appeared. Upon closer inspection, they were clearly mysterious golden patterns. They immediately flowed into the mouths and noses of Zhi Wu and the other monks...

At the same time, the green-robed figure hovered beside Bodhisattva Zhikong, looking at the golden net in Bodhisattva Zhikong's hand with a little curiosity.

With his understanding of the Buddhist rules, he tried to comprehend the mystery of it, but still found it extremely difficult. He could only vaguely see that it was most likely a variation of the four major Buddhist principles.

However, by comparing the rules he had comprehended with the rules of the Immortal Pass that he could not understand, he gained some insights.

"It should be a special rule for exploring hidden methods. The magical power of Buddhism is extraordinary."

The figure in green robe nodded slightly, showing some approval. He glanced around and was in no hurry to leave.

He could sense that the exits of this hall were all set with special restrictions. If he left alone, he would immediately attract the vigilance of all the monks here and outside.

Looking at the situation in the hall now, it was obvious that the last time he killed Puyuan and kidnapped those "travelers", he had already aroused the suspicion of these monks. Who knows what hidden tricks were waiting for him outside.

So it is better to stay still and watch the show here first. Who knows, there may be some other unexpected gains.

Meanwhile, Bodhisattva Zhikong finally completed his investigation of Zhiwu and all the monks.

The golden net on Zhiwu and the monks suddenly shrank and fell into the hands of Bodhisattva Zhikong.

A kind smile also appeared on the face of Bodhisattva Zhikong, and he said in a gentle voice:

"I am not as wise as you are. I have offended you just now. Don't take it to heart."

Although Zhi Wu was angry, he still didn't dare to quarrel with the most trusted Bodhisattva of the Western Bodhisattva. Besides, he didn't have the strength to do so. He forced a smile on his face:

"The Bodhisattva is only doing his best, so how can he be offended?"

The atmosphere seemed to become harmonious.

Bodhisattva Zhikong didn't care about his thoughts, and just let it go on the surface. He pondered for a moment and said:

"Well, there is one more thing. It just so happens that all the Arhats who are short of their quota are here. The eight hundred practitioners here will be marked out first. I will personally send them to the six realms of reincarnation later and use the water of the six realms to wash away the filth on them."

Zhi Wu heard this, but he had no objection. He just thought of something and pointed at a few figures in the crowd and said:

"I just happen to be short of some of the travellers' quota, so these few will be enough."

Upon hearing this, Zhikong, the other three Bodhisattvas, and a group of Arhats looked towards these people, their eyes slightly lit up.

A Bodhisattva on the left immediately shook his head and said:

"The candidates for the Walker are not randomly selected, but Zhiwu, you have made great contributions, so we will give you priority."

Zhi Wu heard this without thinking much and nodded.

Bodhisattva Zhikong then pointed to these monks and assigned them to different arhats.

However, when it came to the final arrangements for the people among Zhiwudian, disagreements arose.

"This person has a deep affinity with Buddhism and should be worshipped by the great bodhisattva in the west."

Bodhisattva Zhikong pointed at the young man in purple armor and said without allowing any doubt.

Zhi Wu's face changed slightly, and he finally reacted. He was extremely angry, but he still had to lower his voice and try to save the situation:

"Bodhisattva Zhikong, this is one of the people I have selected before..."

Bodhisattva Zhikong looked calm:

"Did Zhiwu Luohan not hear what I just said? This person has a deep affinity with the Buddha, so he must have a background. He may achieve great success in the future and be offered to the great bodhisattva in the west. With his guidance, maybe a great bodhisattva will appear in the future to serve our Buddha... Doesn't Zhiwu Luohan want our Buddha to be popular?"

"But I will also train these walkers well..."

Zhiwu has nothing else to say.

Bodhisattva Zhikong has calmly made up his mind:

"It's settled then... Zhiwu Luohan can choose two additional travelers later."

Afterwards, the remaining monks were divided into different Arhats one by one.

The Arhats all showed delight on their faces.

These practitioners all have committed extremely serious sins, and converting one of them would be a great merit.

If they are well cultivated and can achieve success in the future, it will be a great merit and will also be of great benefit to their cultivation.

Only Zhiwu looked unhappy.

The few travelers he had his eyes on were all picked up by others.

The one he liked the most, Qian Baimao, was also detained by Zhikong Bodhisattva in the name of the great Western Bodhisattva.

But it can't happen.

The great Bodhisattva behind him had suffered a series of defeats before, and his status in front of the Buddha had been greatly reduced, and as a result, his confidence had also been reduced a lot.

He could only frown and personally lead a group of monks to the six realms of reincarnation.

The green-robed figure standing beside Bodhisattva Zhikong looked at this scene, turned around, and fell silently into the sleeve of a monk.

I walked through the restrictions at the exit with Zhiwu Luohan, sensing the surroundings while being shaken.

Just like last time, they quickly passed through a straight corridor and arrived at the 'Six Paths Pool'.

Fly out from the sleeve.

This time, the figure in green robe stared at the pool water seriously.

The dark pool was like a black lotus seed, with strange sounds of laughter and crying lingering in it.

But in his eyes, these are just superficial.

The water drops in this dark pool are clearly mysterious golden patterns swimming around, like living things.

The monk stepped in step by step under Zhiwu's arrangement.

Then, under the slightly solemn gaze of the green-robed figure, he was penetrated by the mysterious golden pattern in the pool...

There was no difference between the different pools in his eyes originally, but now their differences were clearly revealed.

Those mysterious golden patterns penetrated into the monks' souls, enveloping them...

Soon, these monks walked out of the pool with smiles on their faces. They looked completely changed and had more tranquility and compassion.

Among them, the majority were monks from outside the world. Their originally ugly faces now looked even more eerie.

Although the figure in green robe had seen this scene before, he still felt solemn when he watched it again.

"If we can decipher the rules of these mysterious golden patterns, perhaps..."

Perhaps it will be possible to fundamentally destroy the Supreme Buddha.

Thinking about these in my heart.

Zhiwu has already led these monks back into the hall.

Soon, the entire Six Paths Pond was filled with silence.

The figure in green robe felt it for a while, his eyes fell on the pool, but in the end he did not make a move to grab it.

Glancing around, his eyes flickered slightly:

"Last time, it seems that he left from here."

He then followed the route he remembered and quickly headed in the direction where he had left with Pu Yuan.

But not long after, he suddenly stopped.

"Here... originally there didn't seem to be such a fork in the road."

The figure in green robe frowned slightly, carefully recalling the memory of passing by here before.

Although he turned into dust and hid in the monk's clothes at that time, he also made a special record of the route. But now he felt that the scene in the deep passage before him was quite different from his memory.

"It seems that this won't work..."

The figure in green robe did not hesitate, and his spiritual sense spread out silently, reaching all around. However, he used his spiritual sense quite skillfully. As long as he sensed the presence of people nearby, he would quietly avoid them and would never alarm anyone.

Soon, he sensed the location of the "Mirror of the Heart" that had forced him to reveal his whereabouts in the densely connected passages.

"Is this passage so complicated?"

“I haven’t noticed it before.”

The figure in green robe was slightly surprised.

But when I thought about it, I felt it was natural.

After all, his strength and realm were low at that time. In this lair of the Supreme Buddha, he was like a sheep among wolves. He had already done everything he could to protect himself, so how could he have more time to investigate other things?

He then quickly rushed towards the location of the mind-cleansing mirror.

With his current leg strength, even if he deliberately slowed down his pace and hid his tracks, it only took him a few breaths to land not far from the Xixin Mirror.

Just as he remembered, the Heart Cleansing Mirror hung above the entrance of a cave, facing another deep cave entrance.

Recalling the time when his whereabouts were exposed by this mirror, the figure in green robe felt a little more serious.

He then adjusted his breath slightly and walked towards the mind-cleansing mirror.

Passing by the mirror, look up slightly.

He could only vaguely see a ball of water light in the mirror, but he could not see himself.

The figure in green robe suddenly felt relieved and secretly admired:

"The bloodline of the Thousand Eyed Dark Lizard has been dug to its extreme. Its rules are indeed extraordinary. Even treasures like this can barely deceive it."

Although a flaw can be vaguely seen, no one would notice it unless they stare at the mirror all the time.

Without hesitation, he immediately headed towards the passage where the mirror was.

"Boy, if I were you, I wouldn't go there..."

A relaxed and teasing voice suddenly sounded from behind without any warning.

The figure in green robe paused instinctively after taking two steps.

His expression remained unchanged, but his heart suddenly sank.

But he was not flustered, and turned around slowly and calmly.

His eyes subconsciously fell on the hole opposite the mirror.

The entrance to the cave is deep and dark, and shadows are dim, as if countless evil demons and monsters are hiding in it.

The green-robed figure's eyes narrowed slightly.

The teasing voice came to my ears again:

"This place suffered a great disaster before and has long been rebuilt. You want to leave, but you have to go through me... Boy, do you dare to come?"

The figure in green robe was silent for a moment, his eyes showing a thoughtful look, and then he slowly walked towards the cave entrance opposite.

The deep passage is dark and long.

But to his surprise, there was nothing unusual along the way.

Until a bright light finally appeared in sight, the figure in green robe finally stopped.

At the end of sight.

A bright but silent palace stood silently in the cave.

There is a medium-sized courtyard outside the palace.

There is a Bodhi tree in the yard that is covered with human faces. It looks ferocious, yet has a strange sense of kindness.

A figure shrouded in pure white light was sitting in front of a stone table under the strange Bodhi tree. There were some snacks on the table. He was sitting casually and relaxedly, looking up slightly at him from afar.

Although shrouded in white light, he seemed to reveal a faint smile, as if he was appreciating or surprised.

Then he opened his mouth and spoke a sentence leisurely.

But these words made the green-robed figure's heart jump suddenly.

"Master Taiyi... This is the third time we have met."

"The third time?!"

Wang Ba was shocked. The similar way of greeting in his memory reminded him of a certain figure. Finally, an uncontrollable look of surprise appeared on his calm face:

"You, you are the one who replaced the Palace Master of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace in the Ruins of Corpses!"

"Are you the Lord of the Six Paths!?"

The figure covered by the white light did not comment upon hearing this, but smiled leisurely and said:

"It seems that Shenfu has exaggerated your words..."

Apply for service?

Wang Ba was slightly confused. Could it be that his junior brother had told him about his existence? Where was his junior brother now? Was he also contaminated by the six pools of water?

Why does the other party seem so sure that he will appear here?

Countless distracting thoughts surged in my mind, and I was filled with worry, anxiety, and doubt.

Since the other party knew his identity, why did he allow him to come here? Was it just to say some inexplicable words to him?

He even told him how to leave.

tease?

joke?

But according to legend, could a Lord of the Six Paths who is only at the level of a great bodhisattva have the ability to play tricks on him?

unless……

He looked at the other person, and at that moment, countless thoughts came to his mind.

Why did the Bai Zhang Sect of the Yuntian Sect know about the existence of the Sea of ​​Chaos; why did they go to the Ruins of Corpses and disguise themselves as the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace; why did his junior brother Shen Fu rush to tell him that the Supreme Buddha had sent people to the Sea of ​​Chaos when he saw him outside the Yuntian Realm...

All the seemingly ordinary clues were finally connected at this moment.

At this moment, an unbelievable guess arose in his mind.

He stared straight at the figure shrouded in white light before him, and instinctively lowered his voice, with a slight tremor because this guess was too thrilling and unbelievable:

"You, you are..."

"Xiahou Tianmo?"

In front of the stone table, upon hearing these four words, the figure shrouded in white light subconsciously sat up slowly, and his casual face finally showed a bit of surprise and seriousness... (End of this chapter)
