"Relics..."
Upon hearing Jiang Li's request, several senior leaders of Cihang Temple fell into awkward silence and looked at each other, unable to make a decision.
Those relics were all from the senior monks of their Cihang Temple who passed away in meditation.
On the one hand, it is the treasure of their temple, and on the other hand, it is also the remains of their predecessors, so they should show respect no matter what.
If the relics were lent to others, it would probably be a blasphemy to them.
But Jiang Li was so generous to them that he delivered the Earth-grade elixirs to them, and only borrowed the relics for a period of time instead of asking for them directly.
If I refuse all of this, I'm afraid I'll offend people.
"This... Alliance Leader Jiang, please allow us to discuss this for a moment."
They did not take the pills from Jiang Li's hand, but walked to the side and gathered together, took out the communication spirit stones that directly connected to their hometown, and began to communicate through voice.
Jiang Li didn't mind and went to walk around the mudflats.
Just scatter some sea tree seeds. After this battle, many sea beast corpses were left behind, which can be used as fertilizer for growing seedlings and afforestation.
If a patch of giant sea driftwood is planted nearby to strengthen the defense, the deterrent power of this plant can also greatly reduce the harassment of enemy sea beasts.
He turned around and came back to see several people from Cihang Temple standing there waiting for him. It was obvious that they had already reached a conclusion through discussion.
"Master Jiang, we have already discussed this with the abbot, and the monks should open the door to convenience."
"The relics will be transported here with the next batch of Chongshan League's fleet."
"In addition, my Cihang Temple will give you a copy of the Tantric Buddhist scripture. I hope that Master Jiang can recite it three times a day in front of the relic."
Cihang Temple finally agreed to Jiang Li's request.
After all, Cihang Temple owes Jiang Li a huge favor. From a certain perspective, Alliance Leader Jiang can also be considered a person with a deep affinity with Buddhism.
With the gift of Dharma from Shushan just now, they naturally cannot be too stingy. In addition, what if Jiang Mengzhu is a genius and has a good understanding of Buddhism?
Then, maybe the three of them will be more closely tied together through this medium.
In this way, Jiang Li has achieved one of his small goals.
After obtaining the relics, the refining of Ananda's blood and tears can be accelerated.
After obtaining the Thousand Spirit Ball, the core of the city, the renovation speed of the Chongshan League Mechanical City was more than ten times faster than usual.
Jiang Li also arranged some monks who were good at body movement and escape techniques to serve as scouts to investigate the surrounding environment and prepare for the long war in the future.
He himself finally left here alone.
Ever since he became the leader of Chongshan League, he has always been accompanied by guardian elders. Although this provides more security, it also causes many inconveniences for him.
Now Qianji City is in a state of disrepair and needs to be rebuilt, so it is even more necessary to have strong men stationed there.
Jiang Li used this as an excuse to let all the senior executives stay in the city, and he flew alone on the wooden dragon Liekong to a certain direction.
. . . .
The fantasy land of Hades, in the city of Fengdu.
Jiang Li's sword-cultivating clone was sitting in a simply furnished room, reading a few books under the guidance of a male ghost.
This is exactly the thing known as the secret book of magical powers that Jiang Li obtained from the lair of the ghost king Yang Ruozhi, her husband's family, the old house of the Du family.
The Road of Incense
This is a book that uses the secret technique of inhaling incense. It is divided into four parts: collecting incense, eating candles, listening to sounds, and reading wishes.
The level is probably that of the land and mountain gods in ancient times, the kind that everyone knows.
In terms of the popularity of ancient heritage, it is even more widespread than Jiang Li's magic of summoning demons.
Of course, popularization does not mean bad. The Taoist methods mentioned in it are profound and every word is precious. Jiang Li has also learned a lot of ancient skills, and he has his own judgment on the good and bad of these old things.
The so-called incense and fire was actually very common in ancient times. From the Golden Immortal to the little ghosts in the mountains and swamps, basically everyone would take a puff or two.
But the gap between them is not a little bit big.
The range of the incense burners is divided into several levels, which can be as small as a single household, a village, a place, or a city, or as large as a country, a region, a continent, or a world.
In addition to quantity and range, the speed, conversion, and safety of incense inhalation are all top priorities.
In fact, the Heart Sutra of Guanyin itself can be used to absorb the power of incense and vows, but Jiang Li just doesn't want to do it.
He wanted to let the statue's clone practice this way, but the clone was originally a parallel consciousness transformed by the Heart Sutra of Guanyin, and was unable to practice the Heart Sutra of Guanyin again.
And this newly acquired incense road can just make up for this.
In fact, for him, the skills of the incense and fire sect are secondary. The most important thing is the ancient characters he learned from Du Xianzhu.
As he learned about that kind of writing, Jiang Li gradually deciphered part of the inscriptions obtained from the environment of the Thousand Machine Spirit Ball.
The contents of the inscription are not completely copied, or rather, the complete contents were originally carved on several different stone tablets.
After reading this part of the inscription, he could only learn that it was a desperate last will and testament before death, and an agreement on certain matters.
My Way Will Die
"My Dao will die, the Saint, neither human nor god, immortal and indestructible, return to the palace and fall into the void, gathering treasures from heaven and earth."
"Your Excellency, in the Qingwei Heaven, the Jade Capital Golden Palace, the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden, the Jade Emperor's Palace, ascended the radiant throne and, with countless people, preached the pure and true Dharma of the Spiritual Treasures."
"These are the true saints, the infinite divine kings, the spirit boys and girls, ninety million people, raising the six sacred powers, illuminating the heavens, the infinite Brahma temples, the ten directions, without any barriers. The crowds from the ten directions come, unicorns dance and phoenixes sing."
"Brahma Golden Immortals, Mahayana Bodhisattvas, the Four Groups and Eight Divisions, the Four Meetings of Qingxiao, circling in front of the road. Rains of wonderful flowers fell like clouds, lighting up the infinite world below, the same as Xuandu Realm..."
"Sigh and sigh, the way is not accepted by the people, the heaven wants the gods to destroy it."
"At that time, both the mortals and the saints were horrified, darkness extinguished, the whole world shook, and there was no peace. At that time, all air became turbid, the sky shook, the earth cracked, and dead bones grew again. Corpses sank and spirits flew, Fengcheng was surrounded by iron walls, and the nine underworlds were in ruins during the long night."
"The suffering souls in hell have no hope in the heavens. The reincarnation is over, and there is no return. In the tombs of immortals and Buddhas, sins are abandoned and virtues are lost. There is no escape from the suffering of the three evil paths. How can the sinners of the time be reborn with such little power..."
"My way will die, and the way will die too."
The contents here, even if translated from ancient characters into the current common language, are still not so easy to understand.
But overall, this inscription seems to describe the extremely glorious era of immortals and Buddhas in ancient times at the beginning.
To put it bluntly, there are probably too many Golden Immortals, too many Daluo, and even Saints show up every now and then to hold a banquet or something like that.
It is a scene that one cannot even imagine in this day and age when even the immortal gods and immortals do not exist.
How dare he leave a letter to accuse the Saint? From this perspective, the situation must have been really bad at the time. I'm afraid the Saint himself was already in danger, so he dared to vent like this.
Then, in the middle, something seemed to go wrong with the heavenly path they were pursuing.
The person who left the inscription expressed his helplessness with the words "If the Way is not accepted by the people, the gods will destroy it."
What follows is the second half of the paragraph, which is filled with tragic words. From the gods and Buddhas in the nine heavens to the ghosts in the nine underworlds below, in his description, no one has a good ending.
If this inscription is as Jiang Li expected, it should be left by an immortal at the time when the ancient immortal cultivation world collapsed and was about to enter the Dharma Ending Age.
The Dharma Ending Age, that is a word that scares those who practice Taoism.
Who can imagine what the scene would be like if the spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly dried up.
It’s as if the oxygen in the air, which is essential for survival, suddenly disappeared, and there is almost no way to survive.
Jiang Li looked at the words and could roughly understand some of the despair that time.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
If I were to put myself in that environment... Hmm... Wait, I don't think I'm afraid of the Dharma Ending Age.
Jiang Li took a look at the state of spiritual energy infusing his body and suddenly felt as if he was born in the wrong era.
The immortal recorded some tragic scenes at that time, as well as some countermeasures taken by the immortals, Buddhas and gods at that time.
It also mentioned that the six realms of reincarnation seemed to be divided artificially, and the ancient Buddhas and gods at that time made a certain agreement on this, but the specific content of the agreement was not recorded in this inscription.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation... Huh? Immortal Tomb and Buddha's Tomb? Seeing these four words, Jiang Like became interested and yearned for the other stone tablets.
Because according to the inscriptions here, one of their methods of dealing with the Dharma Ending Age is to build tombs in the hope of overcoming the difficulties by sleeping.
Other stone tablets may very likely record the specific locations of immortal tombs and Buddha tombs.
If he could go to those places and get some things out, Jiang Li might be able to make up the gap with those pioneers of immortal cultivation and overtake them.
Immortal pills, magic weapons, elixir of life, heavenly palace, jade wine, fairy’s smile!
Want to get it? There they buried everything in the world.
Go and search for it! The ancient secret treasures! As long as you find those heritages buried with you, everything the immortal cultivators want will be within your reach!
This is a big secret. As long as few people know about it, no one will compete with me.
Thinking of this, even with Jiang Li's personality, he couldn't help but laugh out loud without controlling his expression.
However, his laughter did not last long as it was interrupted by a knock on the door outside.
"It's time to get ready to go."
The monk who had previously invited Jiang Li to join the team came over to remind Jiang Li.
He didn't want to reveal his name, so let others call him Laogui.
Jiang Li looked out the window. The thick fog above the city was slowly dissipating, and in its place was a night sky without the sun or stars. Only the moonlight could illuminate this land of the dead.
This means that someone in the outside world has used the Three Lives Stone to summon the illusion of the underworld within a specific area.
This situation has occurred several times in the past ten days. A large number of human cultivators have sneaked here from the Ghost King Wasteland through the illusion.
Among them even include some well-known immortal cultivators in the Eastern Region.
As for their purpose, it goes without saying.
In the past few days, even the air pressure in Fengdu City has become heavier than before. It is obvious that a major event is brewing.
Lao Gui has not been idle these days. The team he has privately organized has grown to fifty people. It is obvious that he would not think of getting rich with these fifty people.
Most of the people, including Jiang Li, were cannon fodder he specially prepared for his plan.
Jiang Liming knew this, but he didn't point it out. He also wanted to see the treasure palace under the Fengdu city.
They were a group of people, dressed in plain clothes, moving on the streets of Fengdu City. They were all experienced, and when they moved, others could not tell that they were in the same group.
The ghost market in Fengdu City is thousands of times more prosperous than Qin Shuman’s Qitu Ghost Market.
They also charge yin and yang lifespan as compensation, and the goods here are all beyond your imagination.
It is said that there are several major forces now that are constantly transporting mortals and independent cultivators into the city. As long as they have accumulated enough lifespan, they can even buy earth-level magic weapons.
At this moment, all the ghosts around them on the street paused, then turned their heads with dull expressions and looked in the same direction.
There, a paper talisman exploded in the air, and a few wisps of air drifted out from it.
Those wisps of aura were half pure yin and half pure yang. Although they didn't seem to have any cultivation, their purity was so pure that even Jiang Li would be shocked.
The old ghost standing not far from Jiang Li also noticed something and his expression changed suddenly.
"Nine Yang Boy! Nine Yin Girl! There really are such physiques in this world!"
"Damn it! There's going to be chaos here soon, no need to pretend, just follow me!"
As soon as the old ghost finished speaking, he didn't even bother to disguise himself. He directly used his spiritual energy, revealing the breath of a living person, and then he displayed his skills and ran away.
But just like he said, no one cared about him.
All the ghosts in the city stared straight in the direction where the breath came from, and their eyes turned red.
To these ghosts and spirits, boys and girls with that kind of physique are like elixirs and fruits of the Tao.
As long as it is absorbed, even the Ghost King can be advanced on the spot and transformed into a higher level existence.
From this, we can imagine how attractive the aura of the boys and girls is to these ghosts.
For a moment, tens of thousands of ghosts howled wildly and countless ghost shadows leaped into the air. Except for some earthbound spirits that were tied up by Fengdu City, all other free ghosts rushed towards the direction where the breath came from.
That posture, even if a Divine Transformation cultivator stood in front, he would be torn into pieces in less than a moment! Outside the city, there were still people constantly shooting breath talismans into the air to lead them further away.
This is a good method.
But the shelf life of that kind of breath talisman is no more than two hours, which means that the boy and girl must have been brought into the illusion.
Once being sucked by a ghost king, the consequences would be so severe that no one present would be able to bear it.
After thinking all this through, Jiang Li cursed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do. He could only use his skills to follow the old ghost.
