Chapter 616: Sutra Library
The physical body transforms into a harmonious and beautiful Dharma image, but the soul has to endure endless torture in that golden body until death.
This is the destination of the method of longevity.
Those wronged souls who were made into human pills absolutely hated them and had long been eager to vent their anger through backlash. When the Longevity Dharma Body lost its suppressive effect, the backlash would not be reduced at all, but would only become more severe and doubled.
Therefore, just looking at that group of people who were trying one after another to perfect their immortal Dharma bodies, as if they couldn't wait to confine themselves in an eternal cage, Yu Cang felt a little chilly.
Don’t those people know the truth about the method of immortality?
The art of immortality packaged as the path to heaven may be able to deceive the lower-class people, but can it really be deceived by the soul card masters and card makers who have studied it for a lifetime?
Few people who can reach the level of eighth-level Grandmaster or ninth-level Nation Guardian are fools. Even if there are a few people with firm beliefs who believe in immortality, it is impossible for so many people to do so.
So, there is only one answer.
They had to practice the art of longevity.
They also knew that they had abused banned cards, committed murder, and committed too many sins in the first half of their lives. In this world, only the art of longevity could avoid the backlash. Apart from that, there was no other way.
Therefore, even though they know that this is destined to be a dead end with no turning back, they have to go on this road!
As for giving up halfway after seeing the reality and choosing suicide?
Stop kidding. If a card banner can see this clearly, would he still be called a card banner?
No one who gets involved with a banned card will be willing to accept it.
What was the master of Tongjue thinking in his last moment before he passed away?
Do you hope that the legend is true, that after refining your Dharma body, you can truly attain liberation under Changsheng's throne? Or do you believe that you can use the mere power of the Changsheng technique to become a supreme, mythical card banner like Changsheng?
Or was it just a subconscious act while he was unconscious...
Maybe both.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang's face couldn't help but look a little strange.
In order to wash away his sins, he chose to convert to Buddhism to pay for his sins, and was finally tortured by his enemies for eternity to pay for his sins.
If we look at it from this perspective, this Changsheng Sect... actually has an inexplicable Buddhist flavor.
If Master Tongjue was really tortured until the last moment of his soul's departure, then perhaps the evil karma of this life could be barely considered to be cleared.
Suddenly, Yu Cang shook his head again.
For those who have committed serious evil deeds, this can be considered retribution, but what about the common people?
The art of longevity is not a rare thing in the hunting tribe. Anyone who is a little smart can learn the real method and eventually create a Dharma body. However, most people can only have a clay body.
There are even people selling low-quality human pills in the tent court. They are not cheap and the effect is very poor - this can also be considered a good way to deal with corpses.
These people may not be good people, but they are definitely not worth suffering so much torture after death... The resentment in the human pill is also trapped in the Dharma body, unable to go anywhere else, and can only vent its malice on the soul in front of it.
After all, the art of immortality is just a means of banning cards. Backlash is inevitable, but compared to other methods, it generally won't harm others in the end.
However, this iron rule seemed to have been broken after the outbreak of the epidemic.
"The donor seems to have a deep understanding." Seeing Yu Cang's eyes showing a thoughtful look, Fashi couldn't help but speak.
"...Not really." Yu Cang said nothing. "Fashi, you brought me to Changsheng Temple, didn't you just come to see these things?"
"I naturally have other requests."
Fashi still had a smile on his face as he led everyone along the high and luxurious walls of Changsheng Temple.
"Donor, you shouldn't have forgotten our cooperation, right?"
“I haven’t forgotten, but I haven’t forgotten the premise of our cooperation either.”
Yu Cang remembered clearly that in order to gain Yu Cang's trust, Fa Shi threatened that he would kill the national teacher first, and then there would be a series of subsequent cooperation.
Yu Cang was skeptical about this, but seeing that Fashi was very confident, he assumed that Fashi was sure.
But after entering the Longevity Tent, the more he understood about the Buddha Kingdom, the more he felt that it was very difficult, almost impossible, for Fashi to do this.
Even if I come by myself, it will be difficult.
A random small town country in the Ninth Tent can directly summon a mythical Dharma body at no cost, and the national master can do only much more.
It can be said that standing above the Great King's Court and below the Buddhist Kingdom, the National Master can be completely regarded as a legend.
A level 7 Fashi wanted to assassinate Shenhua? That was a bit too naive.
To be fair, Yu Cang still hopes that Fa Shi can succeed, which can save him a lot of effort, but the facts are here, and the hope can be said to be very slim.
However, the impact is not that big.
If they start to cooperate, Fashi will take Yu Cang to the Buddhist Kingdom at the beginning, and then some questions will be answered definitively. But even without this step, La will be able to analyze it soon.
So now Yu Cang's expectation for Fashi is just that he can do something.
"Of course, I haven't forgotten either." Fashi said with a smile, "So, I invited you all here today to give you some confidence."
"oh?"
"arrive."
Fashi stopped.
The road they had just walked had already bypassed the main hall of the temple, and now they were probably in the backyard.
Before my eyes, an equally luxurious building stood before me. On the plaque above the door was written in the language of the Hunter Tribe:
Sutra Library
"The records of Changsheng Temple are second to none among the Hunter Clan." Fashi turned around, raised his hand, and the door to the Sutra Library opened automatically. "The records here must contain the answers to the questions in your hearts. They can prove that what I said is true."
The door opened, and a chill emanated from it, quietly sticking to Yu Cang's skin.
“…”
After a moment's silence, looking at Fashi's expression, Yu Cang took a step forward and walked into the Sutra Library.
Rows of wooden scrolls were arranged in front of him, which made Yu Cang feel a little curious - according to his current understanding of the hunters' aesthetic taste, under normal circumstances, shouldn't such an important place be made of jade or gold?
However, the scrolls arranged above are all made of jade.
Walking to a bookshelf, Yu Cang glanced over - as expected, the jade slips on it were all totemic creations. In order to read them, one must resonate with them to read the information inside... This way of reading has a very high threshold. Ordinary people can't even read it if they want to.
Of course, resonance is possible, and so is the Starry Sky Vision - however, a jade slip contains an enormous amount of information. If such a rhythmic group is disassembled in the Starry Sky Vision, the information in it will flood into the mind in an instant, making it very easy to cause mental problems.
Although Yu Cang is not afraid of this kind of information flow now, to be on the safe side, he still uses the method of resonance and reads slowly.
Speaking of which, it has been a long time since I used this most primitive "Zhoutian Resonance Method".
Suddenly, a lot of information emerged from the resonance. As expected, they were all Buddhist scriptures. Yu Cang could not understand the language of the hunters, but the magical thing was that when he came into contact with this information, the pronunciation and general meaning of those words would also appear in his mind.
In this way, even if someone who cannot read at all comes here, he or she will be able to at least recite simple scriptures.
Of course, in terms of interpretation, it is still not as accurate as the information obtained from the Starry Sky Vision, but it is sufficient.
"The jade slips in front contain scriptures or quotes on immortality," Fashi explained. "While I'd love to introduce the philosophy of immortality to you now, I doubt you'll be interested in this part. So, let's move on to the next section."
"good."
Not bad, very self-aware.
In short, he didn't expect any good ideas to be born in this evil place of the Hunter Clan.
Fa Shi passed by Yu Cang, and the rune lamps above his head lit up one after another, and the soft light gradually peeled off the space from the darkness.
After Fa Shi passed seven or eight rows of bookshelves, he stopped.
"That section introduces things related to immortality and the Great King's Court... I think you'll like it."
Yu Cang nodded.
There is indeed some interest.
However, now seeing this dazzling array of scrolls, he couldn't help but ask:
"Does this contain any information on how to achieve immortality and transcend myths?"
Fashi was stunned: "Dharma door? ...The method of longevity is naturally the art of longevity."
"Don't try to bluff me with that kind of thing." Yu Cang waved his hand. "The so-called immortality technique is obviously just a part of some more powerful technique."
Tai Chu also said at the time that this so-called immortality technique was not even a card ban method, at most it was a way to plunder resources.
Let those who desire power take the initiative to transform others into human pills and refine them, and then use these powers to refine themselves into "human pills".
"This..." Fashi shook his head, "You've stumped me... This part is indeed not recorded."
A bit embarrassing.
He was just boasting that the answers to all their problems were hidden here.
It's not possible now.
However, there is really no way around it.
In the years since Changsheng's death, some myths have emerged, but without exception, all of them relied on Changsheng's legacy. None of them truly became above the myth through their own efforts.
"It is said in the Changsheng Teaching Sutra that Changsheng himself reached that state by practicing the Changsheng technique. As for why later generations followed the Changsheng technique but failed to achieve the same level as Changsheng... I don't know.
"But, although it's not as good as immortality, the mythical level is still within reach. The highest-level golden and jade statues among the long-bodied Dharmakayas are guaranteed to be super-level and handed down from generation to generation. There are even four mythical-level golden and jade statues still enshrined in the Buddha Kingdom. Those Dharmakayas were cultivated and shaped bit by bit by our predecessors."
Yu Cang: "..."
Four mythical Buddha statues.
Well... I should have seen two of them before, both were golden.
It’s a pity that he was killed in seconds by the desolate remnant consciousness.
At that time, it was a remote summons, and the golden statues that came were all carried by soul cards. Once we reach the Buddha Kingdom and see the physical bodies of those Buddha statues, we should not be able to use such a simple method as the desolate remnant consciousness to solve the problem.
Let’s not talk about those for now.
"Hasn't anyone ever doubted that there's another way to truly achieve immortality?"
Fashi shook his head: "Changsheng would not lie, and besides, this is meaningless."
Seeing Fashi's firm intention, Yu Cang smiled.
Thousands of years have passed, and no more myths have appeared. Those who have ascended to myths by following the path of immortality have all turned into motionless Buddha statues.
He didn't believe that there was no ingredient in the longevity technique.
However, seeing that Buddhism was so firm in its belief, Yu Cang had no intention of debating it.
Don't argue with a believer, it's pointless.
To be honest, Yu Cang was quite curious about what the complete version of the immortality technique was like.
The construction of the road to godhood is imminent. If he can use the path of his predecessors as a reference, even if it is a banned path, he is willing to learn it first.
pity.
Looking at the Sutra Library in front of him, Yu Cang did not hold out hope of finding the true art of immortality from it.
There was a language barrier, so he could only understand her intuitively. He also didn't know much about Buddhism, so even if he came across her, he would probably miss her... Besides, countless people must have looked for her before.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang spoke directly:
"So, you brought me here, what do you want to show me? If it's just to prove that what you said is true, then there's no need to do this. I only care about the results. As long as you can kill the Imperial Master, we can cooperate."
Whether it is Lingguang Mountain or the Buddha Kingdom, no matter how many records you read, it is not as convenient as going in directly to open the starry sky vision.
Records can be deceiving, but Starry Sky Vision will not.
Upon hearing this, Fashi's expression became slightly serious.
"Then I'll be frank - there will be a competition in the royal court tomorrow, and Sa Jue will be there to watch. When the time comes, I will take action and kill Sa Jue!"
"Oh? So soon." Yu Cang raised his brows, "Tomorrow isn't the day for chanting scriptures, right?"
"But the time has come!"
"...Then why did you call me here?"
"Sa Jue already possesses legendary power within the Great King's Court. I'm worried his name might be heard if I casually mention it. The Sutra Repository is protected by restrictions set by Changsheng himself. Sa Jue is merely stealing Changsheng's power, so naturally he will be affected." Fa Shi said solemnly, "Before that, I need to make some preparations... and I'll need your help."
"It seems that our cooperation has not yet begun."
"I know, but the place I'm going to talk about next will surely interest you as well," Fashi explained. "The Imperial Tomb—Lou Yan's elder brother, Lou Han, is imprisoned in the Imperial Tomb!"
!
As soon as these words were spoken, Lou Yan beside him immediately shifted his gaze from the scrolls and looked at Fa Shi!
Yu Cang raised his eyebrows: "Are you serious?"
"Of course! I can't possibly lie to you about something like this." Fashi said, "The prison was used as an experimental site by the card banners of the Desolate Sect. Lou Yan was naturally moved away long ago, and the place he was moved to was none other than the Imperial Mausoleum."
Lou Yan then looked up at Yu Cang, and Yu Cang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why do you think that I will definitely go to the imperial mausoleum because of Lou Han?"
Fa Shi probably doesn't know that he accepted Lou Yan as his apprentice.
"Because I know Lou Han, he has his own plans... but right now, he just needs a free body." Fa Shi looked directly into Yu Cang's eyes, "You need to stir up chaos in the Great King's Court, so releasing him is the perfect solution."
