MTL - Cultivating Immortals: I Can Save the Price-Chapter 553 Heaven counterattacks the world of bliss
Chapter 553 Heaven counterattacks the world of bliss
The inner world, Sanxiang City.
In the middle of the night, the city became empty, except for watchmen carrying gongs, shuttling through the streets and alleys.
The watchman is seventy or eighty years old, and although he seldom appears in the daytime, he is still aware of the recent gossip.
It has been more than nine years since the last Laba Festival. At that time, the number of Buddhist monks who ascended to the Paradise of Paradise was several times the usual number.
Seeing that the cold moon is coming again, the Laba Festival, once every ten years, has already begun to show signs.
There are more and more people committing suicide. Every morning, gang members can be seen pushing carts and going to mass graves to dump corpses.
From the frequency of transporting corpses, he can guess that the number of monks promoted during the Laba Festival this year is even more than nine years ago.
The watchdog has lived for decades at least, and he can vaguely realize the truth behind it.
It's just that as a commoner, he is already at his limit to protect himself, so how could he have the guts to remind others to pay attention to Buddhist monks.
"Life is not easy, often accompanied by wolves, tigers and leopards."
The watchman sighed, wrapped himself more tightly in a cotton coat, and only hoped that the new year will be over safely, and the world will be better.
He went to the streets of the West District, and after walking this area, he had done his duty.
But as the watchmen gradually approached, they noticed that there were several figures stepping on the wooden shelf not far away from the wall, as if they were painting on the wall with paint on a rag.
"Who?!"
The watchman was startled, he slammed the gong in his hand, and then pulled out a water and fire stick that was as long as a forearm from the back of his waist.
"Someone is coming, let's go!"
"Walk, go, don't get caught."
Several figures by the wall hurriedly jumped off the wooden shelf, and then ran into the alley in a hurry, obviously it had been planned in the first place.
The guards frowned. The back of one of them, the more he looked, the more he looked like a child of the old Li family, but the latter had already been admitted to Tongsheng, and he would be an official in the future.
His body is old, and it is impossible to chase after the figure.
The watchmen lit up lanterns and approached the wall to see what patterns there were.
I saw the words "Dragon King of the Four Seas" written in flying and phoenix dances on the wall, and the fairy **** with the head of a dragon and a human body seemed to be walking out of the wall.
He couldn't help shivering.
During the past ten years, there were indeed rumors of heavenly beings everywhere, but according to Buddhism, they were all transformed by evil spirits from hell.
How did the Heavenly Court do it? It is said that the towns in the south and the north have been infiltrated, but they have been suppressed by Buddhism.
Now that the Laba Festival is approaching, is it possible that the Heavenly Court will revive again?
The watchman didn't dare to think about it, so he hurriedly walked towards the yamen.
Not long after, before the people rushed to the morning assembly, the patterns all over the wall were cleaned up by the yamen servants. However, many people still saw it, and there was a lot of discussion behind it.
In the past twenty years, Buddhism has become more and more unscrupulous in extracting merit.
In fact, many people already know the dirty things inside, but they dare not say more, for fear of becoming one of the corpses thrown into the wilderness.
They thought that the wall pattern would fade away with time, and it was impossible for the Buddhist sect to find the person who spread the heavenly court in Sanxiang City to question them.
But unexpectedly, within a few days, several people were escorted to the entrance of the market.
Don't care how much you cry for injustice, the moment the switch knife falls, the hot blood gushes out from the neck, splashing the onlookers covered in blood.
The watchman deliberately didn't rest, so he came to the market entrance to watch and ask about the beheading in the street.
But he stared at the corpse for a long time, and didn't feel the figure of that night.
When the watchmen found the young Li family who was secretly observing, they were even more sure that Buddhism was trying to scare the chickens and monkeys, and the matter had not yet been understood.
Sure enough, in just one month, more than 30 people were beheaded.
As if the prelude to the war was kicked off, the towns all over the place were in chaos at the same time, and some small temples were even slaughtered overnight.
The people of Heishuidao saw it, but he was not the instigator.
In fact, Ren Qing gave him instructions to spread the name of the Heavenly Court, so the Heishui Taoists never thought of confronting Buddhism head-on.
But he didn't realize that the number of worm warriors who possessed the shut-mouth Gu is limited.
With many supporters of the Heavenly Court, it is impossible for the people of Heishuidao to take care of more than a dozen towns and can only let the situation gradually deteriorate.
After they knew the truth about the meritorious monk, how could they bear it.
Especially close to the Laba Festival, it is the most unscrupulous time for the meritorious monks. It is normal for tens of thousands of people to die in the two months before the Buddha's birthday.
"Something went wrong, Uncle."
Ma Shan leaned in front of the Heishui Taoist and interrupted the latter's thoughts softly.
Heishui Taoist came back to his senses, looked at Ma Shan, who had long since disappeared, and couldn't help asking: "Don't worry, what's wrong?"
"There were people in Linshan City who leaked information, and they were all arrested by the government."
Heishui Taoist pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache, hurriedly packed his things and rushed to Linshan City. If the Zongwu Zhe who mastered the shut-mouth Gu died, all the supporters of the Heavenly Court in every town would be wiped out.
They didn't dare to delay, and headed from the secluded mountain road that had been opened up.
Then he entered from the side door of Linshan City. As a result, as soon as the Heishui Taoist set foot in the city, he felt oppressed, and there were various rewards posted everywhere.
The Heishui Taoist had a surprised expression: "I'm afraid the Buddha is crazy?"
Because according to the reward announcement, by the time of the Laba Festival, more than two hundred accomplices in the Heavenly Court will be dragged to the vegetable market and beheaded.
Besides causing panic, what good does it do them?
"Could it be..."
Heishui Taoists think of the scene of monks ascending to the Paradise of Paradise. Although it seems ordinary, it is the process of gradually disillusioning the body, but it is still unimaginable to ordinary people.
Buddhism should intend to use this to establish its prestige, and panic, under the entrustment of the Buddha's ceremony, will become the nourishment of the world's respect for the Buddha.
The meritorious monk may see that it is impossible to conceal the evil, and is ready to do the opposite.
As long as the quota for becoming a Buddha is released and a small number of people are allowed to join Buddhism, the rest will naturally be willing to become affiliated.
The people of Heishuidao shuddered.
He began to gather his companions in Linshan City, but unfortunately, it was only a few days before the Laba Festival, and Linshan City could only enter but not exit.
In the end, the Heishui Taoist only found three people to go with them, and they couldn't control the situation at all.
Heishui Taoist really meant to contact Ren Qing, but the means are limited, and the refined Gu insects are also auxiliary law Gu.
He has no choice but to take one step at a time.
The cold wind blows.
The aroma of Laba porridge pervades the city. Compared with Sanxiang City, the Laba porridge in Linshan City has a lot more nuts.
In Linshan City, there is only one platform at Caishikou that is used to become a Buddha.
Against the background of the festive crowd, there are men, women and children hanging around by their hands and feet. The number is far more than two hundred, at least five hundred.
It can be seen that Buddhism did not spare the relatives and family members of the person involved.
The people are a little complicated, but most of them don't want to get involved in trouble.
By almost noon, the warm sun shone on the street.
Hundreds of prisoners greedily enjoyed a moment of tranquility, but it was broken for a moment. A dozen old monks, surrounded by novice monks, walked towards the entrance of Caishi and greeted the public.
In the inner world, the meritorious monk is the incarnation of Buddha, representing the supreme authority.
The leading monk named "Kongxin" has five big and three rough looks, wears extremely gorgeous cassocks, and holds a string of merit relics in his hands.
Kongxin came to the platform, first asked tens of thousands of people to chant scriptures with him, and then said: "Amitabha."
"During the recent troubled times, due to the influence of the heavenly court, a total of 1,200 households in Linshan City were killed. The poor monk is extremely guilty."
The empty letter shed a few tears, causing the prisoners hanging in the air to glare.
However, they haven't eaten for a long time, and they have no strength at all. Even if they can speak, they are covered by the voices of the crowd.
They are like meat on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others.
Heishui Taoist kept a cold face, and signaled his companions to disperse with his eyes, and immediately rescued people after the virtuous monk became a Buddha and ascended.
They waited patiently, and the ceremony of becoming a Buddha proceeded in a regular manner.
The meritorious monk will swallow a relic every half an hour, and then the skin will gradually transform into a metallic color.
At the same time, their bodies left the ground and sat cross-legged in the air.
Buddha energy emanates from the stomachs of meritorious monks, making them reincarnated like true Buddhas, and then their flesh and bones collapse bit by bit.
"Got you."
Kong Xin opened his eyes with a half-smile, staring at the Heishui Taoist in the crowd.
Heishui Taoist did not hesitate to draw out the soft knife hidden in his waist, and killed the meritorious monk in Nirvana while the people were scrambling to escape first.
"Amitabha."
Kong Xin put his hands together and said, tens of thousands of people calmed down inexplicably.
"The Heavenly Court is composed of 3,746 men and women. When you showed up, the temples in various towns had already been mobilized. It must be all under control at this moment."
Heishui Taoist shuddered, because he realized that when the meritorious monk became a Buddha, he seemed to have the supernatural powers like a Buddha.
Kongxin had a fanatical expression, with his hands open, hundreds of mortals were covering their necks.
Their faces turned red, because the lack of oxygen caused insufficient blood supply to the heart, their limbs twitched uncontrollably, and blood flowed from their mouths and noses.
Compared with the scene of the meritorious monk becoming a Buddha, the hundreds of people dying seem out of place.
Even ordinary people feel a deep sense of absurdity.
The officers and soldiers surrounded Caishikou, like catching a turtle in a urn, and slowly approached the Heishui Taoist.
Heishui Taoist suddenly became sober, he looked around and activated the ability of law order Gu, which can make the creatures who heard the voice remember what he said.
"Plague Messenger!!"
"You don't really think that there are heavenly gods in the world, do you?"
Kong Xin looked at Heishui Taoist with a smile, and when he noticed that the latter had no doubts in his eyes, he suddenly realized belatedly.
Why does it feel like he has really seen the gods in heaven?
Ma Shan and others also called out the name of the plague envoy.
Kongxin couldn't help feeling flustered, wanting to execute hundreds of prisoners immediately, and then concentrate on ascending to the Paradise of Paradise.
At this moment, the sound of bones colliding sounded from the gap between the floor and wall bricks.
Bone hands protruded from it, and the smoke and dust drifted away. Soon, under the witness of tens of thousands of people, the smoke appeared like a tornado.
A graceful woman came.
"My family, the Ministry of Plague of the Heavenly Court..."
"Plague to send immortals."
Madam Bone swept over the meritorious monks above her head, only to see that they, including Kong Xin, had twisted their heads off.
The meritorious monk is still alive, with his head held up, welcoming the coming of heaven.
At the same time, under Ren Qing's deliberate arrangement, the Heavenly Paradise Realm came to the inner world one after another.
Thanks to Heath Ice Tea, Three Watches and Five Fires, book friend 2021207201524913, and Hall Master Baihe for their rewards.
