Chapter 343 People who are afraid of monsters are scarier than the monsters themselves (4000 words)
Xu Ming felt that this little monk who called himself Maitreya had figured something out, otherwise, he would not have said those words.
But the other party certainly didn't calculate much.
I guess he calculated that he doesn't belong to this world, but he doesn't know how he came to this plane, so it's even more impossible for him to calculate the system's affairs.
Otherwise, the other party wouldn’t say anything like “can’t see through it”.
Having said that.
Is this little monk really the "future Buddha" of this world?
Or is it just a coincidence that his name is actually "Maitreya"?
"Monk! Did you mess up the place where we were just now?"
A man walked up and stared at the little monk who called himself "Maitreya".
The man was covered in blood, some of it his own and some of it other people's.
His eyes were red and he looked like he was about to collapse.
The young monk Maitreya nodded and looked at the other person squarely: "That is exactly what I did."
"You! You killed my wife! I want you to pay with your life!" After he finished speaking, the man stabbed the little monk with a long sword in his hand.
However, when the sword in his hand was only three inches away from Maitreya, it was welded firmly in the air.
The golden light blocked the tip of the man's sword.
Maitreya's body seemed to be surrounded by an invisible golden spiritual power shield.
This spell seems to have been used by Shixin as well.
The man tried his best to stab, but the result was that the opponent could not move forward even a step.
"Why does the donor want to kill me at every turn?" Maitreya asked in confusion.
"You devil! You're the one who killed my wife!" the man said gritting his teeth.
Maitreya pinched his fingers, calculated, and soon understood everything.
"Strange, strange." The little monk shook his head. "It was the donor who killed his wife. How can you blame me? I didn't do it."
There was innocence in the little monk's eyes.
"Nonsense! It was obviously you who caused us to enter that strange place and deceived us with illusions! At the beginning, I killed seven or eight illusions.
But who knew that the last illusion was my wife.
My wife thought I was fake and I thought my wife was fake.
You are deliberately making us kill each other!"
The man said viciously, tears rolling down his eyes.
"No, no."
The little monk shook his head and sighed softly.
“The illusion you saw in that barrier was not created by me, but is the manifestation of what you are worried about, or what you are looking forward to.
In other words, the illusions you talk about are nothing but the demons in your hearts.
Whether you can see through your inner demons, or not, is none of my business, so how can it have anything to do with me?
That barrier is the protective formation of this temple.
It was not me who let you in.
It is because you all want to seek for an opportunity and because of the greed in your hearts, you have come to this place and entered the magic circle.
Everything is the choice of the donors themselves, so how can you blame me?
Let's take a step back.
When your wife sees you, you will kill her without any investigation or distinction between truth and falsehood.
In that enchantment, are all the demons you see trying to harm you? I don't think that's entirely true. There are definitely many demons that don't want to harm you, because some of them represent what you desire.
But the donor still thought that he had seen through them, and then he wanted to kill those inner demons and illusions, but those inner demons and illusions did nothing. In fact, in the donor's heart, you think that all illusions will harm you, and all illusions deserve to die.
But the donor never gave the illusion a chance from beginning to end.
In the end, the donor met his wife and still did not give her a chance.
The donor does not distinguish between right and wrong and thinks that the other party is evil, so he kills the other party. How is this behavior different from that of an evil person?
The donor killed his wife. It was the donor's own doing. What does it have to do with me?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
The man seemed to have broken through his defense. He raised the sword in his hand again and slashed at the little monk.
"Alas" the little monk clasped his hands together, shook his head and sighed.
"boom!"
A sound echoed from the temple.
The moment the man chopped towards the little monk.
The opponent's sword seemed to have hit him himself, and the whole person exploded into a bloody mist.
Including Xu Ming, everyone's brows were furrowed.
Everyone present knew that the little monk actually did not make any move.
The man just now was killed by the rebound of his sword.
To be precise, the man died at the hands of his own sword! Based on what the little monk just said, Xu Ming also vaguely guessed what was going on here.
Hongxiu told Shixin before that the Rootless Secret Realm was actually a piece of the main world that was broken in ancient times. This piece of fragment became a small world, which later generations named the Rootless Secret Realm.
Therefore, there are many things left over from ancient times in the Rootless Secret Realm.
If nothing unexpected happens, this local temple should have existed in ancient times.
In this temple, a magic circle was set up. When you step into the magic circle, you will enter a barrier.
Some of the things that appeared in that barrier were illusions, while others were real.
This temple combines truth and falsehood, reality and illusion together, making you even more confused.
The most difficult things to distinguish in the world are things that are both true and false.
At first, you thought everything you saw was an illusion, and then you killed all the illusions.
But later on, when you meet the real person, especially when you meet someone important to you, if you still have too strong a desire to kill and treat all illusions equally, then the person you kill will be the most important person to you.
The monk just now is an example.
And Xu Ming almost fell into the trap.
At that time, if I had not recognized Shi Xin, Shi Xin might have died in my hands.
But then again, what did this little monk just say?
What you encounter in there is your own inner demon? The so-called inner demon is what you are most looking forward to, or what you are most afraid of.
At that time, Shi Xin rushed towards him and hugged him.
Could it be that what I really hope for is to be liked by Shi Xin?
"No way." Xu Ming frowned.
I admit that Shi Xin is indeed very good-looking. Basically, any man who has a normal sexual orientation and is not LGBT will have a good impression of Shi Xin.
But good feelings are good feelings.
If you think a girl is pretty, you don't think about molesting her, you just appreciate her beauty.
Similarly, Xu Ming thought Shi Xin was pretty, but it was just out of instinct. Xu Ming felt that he had never thought about being with Shi Xin. He could only say that he was still controlled by lust.
In addition to Xu Ming who was in a daze, Shi Xin was also in a daze.
Shi Xin was also thinking about what the little monk had just said.
Shi Xin thought about the secret realm, where Xu Ming was so nice to him, and then he drew his sword and slashed at him.
"Could it be that in my heart, I just hope Xu Ming will be nicer to me?
But whether Xu Ming treats me well or not, so what? What's the point?
Why do I expect Xu Ming to be nice to me?
Then Xu Ming drew his sword and slashed at me. Why? Am I worried that Xu Ming would hurt me? Why would I worry that Xu Ming would hurt me? "
Shi Xinxin was very confused.
Shi Xin found that she seemed to care about Xu Ming very much, but she didn't know why she cared about him so much.
"What is the difference between humans and demons? What is the difference between humans and demons?"
The little monk paced back and forth in front and spoke, as if he was explaining Buddhism.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"What is a good person, what is a bad demon, and what is an evil demon?"
The little monk stopped, put his hands together, and bowed to everyone.
“So-called good and bad are all in the heart.
There are no real saints in the world.
There is no perfect Buddha in this world.
Once there was a scholar who saved a fox, and the fox wanted to repay the scholar.
But in the end, the scholar killed the fox because he had a dream about a fox eating a person.
People always find monsters scary.
However, people who are afraid of monsters are scarier than the monsters themselves. If you can understand this, perhaps it is more important than any treasure.
However, since you all want to come here to seek opportunities, I will not let you go back empty-handed.
The Rootless Secret Realm is about to be destroyed, and those treasures don’t want to dissipate here.
However, they also don't want to follow a master they don't like.
So all this depends on the donors.
Taoism emphasizes cause and effect, Buddhism also emphasizes cause and effect, and even the old man of Confucianism emphasizes cause and effect.
Everything that happens has its consequences.
If you don't give anything, how can you get anything?"
As soon as the little monk finished speaking, the entire temple began to shake violently.
Stone dust from the house kept falling from the roof.
The temple ground was constantly cracking, the pillars were gradually breaking apart, and the entire temple was constantly disintegrating.
The only things that don't move are the Buddha statues.
"May the Buddha have mercy on you all and may you all have good luck."
The little monk closed his eyes, stood there and gradually disappeared.
“Roar!”
A dragon roar spread out.
The green dragon's claws stretched out from the roof and killed several monks.
The Buddha statues in front of him were all cracked.
The next moment, rays of light rushed back from the Buddha statues, broke through the roof, and escaped.
When I looked carefully, I saw that they were treasures one after another.
There were first-grade spiritual weapons that had already given birth to spirits, as well as quite a few semi-immortal weapons, and even immortal weapons! Everyone's eyes suddenly turned red.
Let’s not talk about the value of semi-immortal soldiers and immortal soldiers for now.
Just these first-grade spiritual weapons that give birth to spirits are unimaginable opportunities.
First of all, first-grade spiritual weapons are extremely valuable.
Secondly, it is extremely difficult for a first-grade spiritual weapon to give birth to a weapon spirit.
When a first-grade spiritual weapon gives birth to a weapon spirit, it means that it has the qualifications to become a semi-immortal weapon or even an immortal weapon.
Although, in order to turn a first-grade spiritual weapon into a semi-immortal weapon, or even an immortal weapon, it also requires a lot of natural treasures and certain opportunities.
But no matter what, there is still room for improvement, and the vast majority of first-grade spiritual weapons do not even have this qualification.
Secondly, after a first-grade spiritual weapon gives birth to a weapon spirit, it will be much stronger than an ordinary first-grade spiritual weapon.
And most importantly, if a cultivator does not get the recognition of an immortal weapon or a semi-immortal weapon, there is no way to refine it into a life-long magic weapon.
But it’s different with a first-grade spiritual weapon. As long as you get it and conquer the other party, even if the other party doesn’t recognize you very much, you can still forcibly refine it into your own magical weapon.
In other words, you can only use soft tactics against semi-immortal soldiers and immortal soldiers.
But you can use force to deal with a first-grade spiritual weapon.
In an instant, cultivators rushed out from the roof one after another, trying to get those first-grade spiritual weapons.
But the process is not that simple.
These first-grade spiritual weapons, semi-immortal weapons, and immortal weapons have all turned into weapon spirits.
If it is a humanoid spirit, it will hold its own body.
Anyone who rushed towards him would be killed without mercy.
You can conquer them, but first, you must use your life as an admission ticket.
If it is a non-human spirit, it is usually some peculiar mythical beast or even a ferocious beast, and their magical weapon body will be transformed into a part of its characteristics.
The green dragon and the Heluo fish were also fighting with the monks.
They are actually spirit objects as well.
But Xu Ming was curious about what the Jade Dragon and the Heluo Fish looked like? What kind of weapons could they be? "Which one do you want?" Xu Ming said to Shi Xin.
Shi Xin tilted his head and asked in confusion, "What?"
Xu Ming repeated: "I asked you which weapon you wanted, or which weapon spirit you were more interested in, and I will help you get it."
"I also have a spirit weapon that I like, I wonder if you can help me get it?"
"Nonsense, of course." Xu Ming turned his head and was about to refuse when he saw Qin Qingwan walking towards him.
"Of course that's possible!" Xu Ming nodded and looked at Qin Qingwan.
I don't know why.
When Xu Ming saw Qin Qingwan, he always felt guilty.
Especially after Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan had an in-depth communication, Xu Ming felt even more guilty, fearing that something would be discovered.
But soon, Xu Ming took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
If you did it, you have to take responsibility. Why should you feel guilty? Even if Qing Wan finds out, what can you do to escape? Besides, Yan Han is not here, so there is no need for you to panic.
"Is it really possible? Thank you so much, sir~"
Qin Qingwan spoke with a smile, and then said to a woman not far away.
"Yanhan, why are you so far away? Come here quickly, this young master wants to snatch the treasure for us~"
