Southern Wilderness

South end of the wild beast tail

Tanghua Temple

The atmosphere here was still calm, just like usual, not disturbed by the two days of rain. The Buddhas sat on the wasteland, not a drop of rain on them, mumbling something, apparently reciting scriptures, while beating wooden bells in their hands to drive away the evil of heaven and earth.

These 120 or so beings, who were like Buddhas, were all capable of towering heavens. They sat on the edge of the cliff, their figures were always swept by the rising waves, but there was still no ripple underneath. Such a resolute figure attracted the attention of the teachers of the temple academy and the elders of the union, who could not help but admire them.

What monks have more than laymen is not their self-righteousness, but their selfless quality, which they never have to think about. In addition to the hundred Buddhas in front of the temple chanting sutras, the monks in the temple are also chanting, and they have not stopped since the day before yesterday. This kind of perseverance alone makes the teachers and elders respect them very much.

At first, the teacher Feng Rui and Elder Gou Ge who were sent here did not take the initiative to talk, for fear of disturbing their chanting. The Buddhas and hundreds of monks moved in unison, and the sounds of beating wooden fish were almost the same. They could not bear to interrupt this grand scene that could be called art. But after two days, seeing that they did not move at all, they stood together and said:

"This wasteland is truly magical. It hasn't changed at all because of the heavy rain."

"Yeah, it's like it never allows anything to exist on it."

After the rain began the day before yesterday, they received an order today to measure how much the sea level had risen. But no one knew where the rain that fell on the wasteland had gone. There was no water at all. At most, the soil in the wasteland became moist, and no water accumulated in the low-lying areas.

The south was undoubtedly the best place after the heavy rain. Even the wild beast forest with abundant vegetation had a lot of water on the ground after two days of heavy rain. The water level of the South China Sea had indeed risen a lot. The ten-meter cliff, which was not very high to begin with, had been washed away by the sea water several times. Only the place where the host sat remained. But soon, it became an extremely strange place, like a finger pointing out of the wilderness, a few meters farther than the surrounding coast.

In the resonant voice of reciting scriptures, the Buddhas and monks were extremely focused and did not communicate with the outside world. Feng Rui opened a communication array on his own to maintain information exchange to avoid information asymmetry or the situation of not knowing the instructions. Fortunately, they came early, otherwise the Nanhai checkpoint would lose contact in the heavy rain. The Buddhas and monks were obviously not the kind of people who would open the communication array and actively communicate with them.

"How's the situation over there?"

This was Guan Zhongyi's voice. As one of the thirteen people near the top of the mountain in Ningshen Academy, he had a high status among the teachers and was respected by them. At this time, Feng Rui's face was extremely cold. He reported the situation truthfully and said:

"The eastern part is low-lying, the forest is too humid, and there is an ice field in the north. I estimate that a lot of water on the grassland will be frozen. We don't need to worry about it for the time being. When the host exits the current state, I will discuss with him and work together to repair the coast and move the sea water to the wasteland. I hope it will be effective."

"Then we will focus on the other three places first. Please pay more attention and remember not to be careless."

"clear!"

Although Feng Rui, who possessed the power of a towering celestial being, did not possess the power of a towering celestial being, which was close to the level of the Dao, like the thirteen people near the top of the mountain, he also understood the ways of the world and would not act like a young man. They were relatively free in Tanghua Temple, and there would be no conflicts as long as they were not disturbed. These monks had always been peaceful and kind to others, but it was unknown when the abbot would be able to withdraw from this state.

Walking out of Tanghua Temple, the vitality turned into an umbrella and hit them on the head. When the group saw the muddy wasteland, they immediately used their vitality to step on the wasteland. They didn't want to dirty their shoes, but the Buddhas thousands of meters away were sitting cross-legged in the mud. They didn't use any vitality at all, because the power was not needed at this time and place.

After walking for a distance, the teachers and elders looked at the changes in the coast and couldn't help but frown and shake their heads.

"Another coastal collapse. If this continues, the flood will hit the Dragon King Temple in a month."

"I hope the host can exit the current state as soon as possible. We can't wake him up by force."

After the sound, the dark sky was broken by layers of golden light, just like the color of the real Buddha. In addition to the dark night, the wasteland only had a dark brown sky, which was always low, as if it was affected by an ancient power. At this time, beams of light in the dark sky shone on the wilderness, stopping the rain from falling, and making the Buddhas bathe, and different Dharma images appeared behind them.

"What's going on?"

Gou Ge raised his head, his old eyes full of surprise, his beard ruffled by the wind, and Feng Rui was also surprised. He said quietly:

"As we all know, the cultivation system of Tanghua Temple is different from that of the main body of the Great Wilderness, but I didn't expect it to be so different."

The main path of cultivation in the Great Wilderness is to rely on the Yuanqi Tree and sign a spiritual contract with the wild beasts to survive the most vulnerable period of childhood and obtain the power of the five elements. Although this method is the most mainstream, because the practice will eventually be restricted, many people with long-term vision do not sign the spiritual contract, but instead comprehend the five elements by themselves, or rely on strong mental power to become a talisman master.

For example, among the thirteen people near the top of the mountain in the academy, except for Hu Bugui who was a wild beast and two talisman masters, only one of the remaining ten was young and ignorant, without a long-term vision, and signed an ordinary spiritual contract, while the rest were self-sensing the five elements. Although it is very troublesome to sense the five elements in this way, and you can only have the power of the five elements in a certain aspect, the journey is long and will not be restricted by wild beasts. The person who signed the spiritual contract, even if the contracted beast has the seventh-level bloodline and then breaks through the eighth level, he can only reach the sky, and he can't squeeze into the Tao. He has been standing still for a hundred years and can't take a step out.

In addition, only the Goulongbang clan and Tanghua Temple have different cultivation methods in the Great Wilderness. Because the former has not produced many peerless masters, many royal ministers still use the mainstream cultivation method of the Great Wilderness and abandon it. Tanghua Temple has always used the five elements candles. Every time the candles in front of the Buddha are extinguished, they will accumulate part of the predecessors' cultivation. As long as they are lit, they will have the corresponding five elements of power and can absorb a little vitality contained in them.

These are all things known to the college union. Although they are magical, they lack the power of self-selection. Therefore, the college did not follow suit, but it has a deep understanding of it. Compared with Tanghua Temple, which is responsible for exorcising demons, the college is mostly idle, and studying the world has become the fun of the teachers. But I didn't expect to see such a magnificent scene at this time, which makes people sigh.

The Buddha's light shone and rested on the Buddhas. Although the rain had stopped, there were still many water droplets floating around them. But in the Buddha's light, the Buddhas shone one after another, making the world bright. Then, in an instant, the raindrops fell to the ground and dissipated, and the collapsed coast gradually returned to its original state.

It was like a time-reversal technique, and the previously washed-away soil and rocks gradually gathered from the sea and returned to their original places. This process was extremely fast, and Feng Ruigouge and others could see it clearly even though they were thousands of meters away. As the coast continued to recover, the Buddhas, although they did not stand up, left their original places one by one and lined up in a neat row on the coast. The distances were different due to their strengths, some were far and some were near, but they all had boundless majesty.

The Buddhas were sitting, lying, standing, and lying in various shapes. These true Buddhas were blessed with auspicious light, which could not be simulated by the teachers and elders present with their vital energy. Even the vice president and President Long could not do it. When these true Buddhas took action, the entire South China Sea began to tremble, as if it was being flooded.

"Did he hear our conversation?"

An elder asked this question, but no one answered. No one knew whether they could sense the outside world while they were still beating the wooden fish. But the only thing that was certain was that the communication center in Zhenxun did not contact the host. But the extremely old living Buddha with his back to them always knew what to do, without outsiders saying anything.

Apart from Qing Xunzi and the vice president, he is the only one in the world who can see through the secrets of heaven!

The sound of chanting suddenly became louder, echoing between heaven and earth, but without any deafening feedback. Feng Ruigouge and his companions just looked back at the temple, then raised their heads to look at the sky, and the gloomy dark clouds in the world suddenly broke apart.

Buddha is not a deity, and does not control any of the five elements, unlike the Thunder God who controls thunder and the Lightning Mother who controls electricity. But this is not a flaw of Buddha, because it can control everything. Everything will move because of it. The dark clouds were torn apart, and the water element in it was also destroyed in the roar.

Then, the wasteland began to shake, as if the sea was held in a giant hand and was shaken violently like a basin of water. Under the boundless sky, Feng Ruigouge and others were still immersed in the changes in the sky. There were no dark clouds in the sky, nor was there a sunny day, only a dark brown light, which was extremely strange and eye-catching.

Although such light still makes the wasteland look strange, a little understanding of this place will show that the wasteland is like this. There is only one temple in the wasteland, no other living things, only vengeful spirits. The vengeful spirits that have not been saved have been harming the people here for generations. At this time, they who were hiding in the rain began to move again.

In shock, the waves that had previously risen to the height of the cliff had become lower. The seawater in the Great Wilderness World was connected, but immediately, it had dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although it was difficult to return to the original height, Feng Ruigouge stood in front of the team and also stood outside the cliff, looking at the waves below and frowned.

The host on the side was not as serious as the monk Bai Lin that Feng Ruigou had seen. Even with his eyes closed, he was still peaceful, like the soft clouds in the sky. He faced forward and nodded slightly, humble and powerful, but the power around him had reached a level that Feng Ruigou had never known.

It is said that the curved wheel can control space, the towering sky can change the sun and the moon, and if you ask for the Tao, no one in the world can defeat you. It is said that the host is mysterious, and he is at the same level as the vice president. That is not as simple as asking for the Tao, but is like the peak of the cloud. Such an existence uses power differently from ordinary practitioners. There is no fluctuation around, only space is flooding. The power travels through it, and together with the hundreds of true Dharma images, it builds a high wall.

The wall of the Buddhas in the south sky can block the darkness of evil and control water, and it has an incomparable aura. This time, a lot of sea water disappeared. When Feng Rui saw it, he immediately formed a seal and contacted Guan Zhongyi, who is now the only hub for Tanghua Temple to contact the academy.

Without waiting for Guan Zhongyi to speak, Feng Rui hurriedly said:

"The Buddhist monks of Tanghua Temple have successfully stopped the rain, and the sea level has dropped significantly. What about the other three locations?"

"Preparations are underway for the East China Sea lift-off, but the other two locations have not started yet."

Feng Rui was mature and experienced. He heard something and said in surprise:

"What do you mean, Vice Dean can't stop the rain?"

"If someone cooperates, maybe we can give it a try, but I have to ensure the normal use of the talisman array here. Di Muli, Sun Zhonglei and Bai Men stayed in the academy. The eldest sister took five people to the big forest, and three went to the north. It is amazing that the vice-president can do this alone."

"Where's the Pope?"

"He was injured after the seal was torn open last time, and he is recovering from the damage. Now there is only one month left before the war, and he must adjust to the best condition."

Feng Rui's face was heavy, and he was slightly dissatisfied when he glanced at the elders of the Adventurer's Guild beside him. On weekdays, all parties were strong and competed for rankings, but when there was a real disaster, most of them still depended on his academy. Let me ask, which party has the number of strong people comparable to the academy? The answer is naturally no, the academy is now well-deserved and is the number one force in the Great Wilderness!

Only two of the thirteen people closest to the top of the mountain have always been able to support the normal operation of the academy. But now that all the strong men have come out of the mountain, the rest of the forces must surrender unconditionally. However, without Hu Bugui, there are only twelve left among the thirteen.

Seeing the academy that now controls the world, the old five major forces are ashamed. Thinking back to the past, they thought the academy was the weakest, so they picked it and tried to compete for the title of the five major forces. Unexpectedly, the academy was just hiding its strength. It's not that the academy is willing to be a hermit and be looked down upon by others. It's that the people in it are too individualistic, so some are lazy, some fish, some make porcelain dolls, and some keep trying to climb mountains or sleep. Who has nothing to do to show up in front of the world?

Such an academy will gradually gain the admiration of those who know it, but when Gou Ge saw Feng Rui's gaze, he snorted:

"Do you think that my union members didn't do anything? Even if the east and west are mainly attacked by your academy, isn't the north guarded by my union army?"

"Don't you still need help from my college?"

"Then don't look at me with such contempt, or you will suffer the consequences!"

Feng Rui and Gou Ge were not good-tempered. They glanced at each other and stopped talking nonsense, just watching the world stabilize again. As a member of the academy, death is the soul of the academy. Feng Rui hoped that the academy could be recognized by everyone in the world in this battle, so that those who underestimated the academy and stabbed the academy in the back could see what kind of strength they really have.

In this way, there will be more students in the college in the future, but we also hope that the people in the college will not sacrifice too much.

Gou Ge didn't think so. The Adventurer's Guild was not like the Academy. They cared about reputation. They only cared about money! They could bear the bad reputation that the Academy could not bear. They called themselves misers. There were countless gamblers and criminals in the Guild. They were not as noble as the Academy. Therefore, when he put down some things, he noticed something that Feng Rui did not notice.

Compared to the quiet and non-combatant academy, most people in the Adventurer's Guild were obsessed with money and snobbery. Facing the Tanghua Temple, they had no money to earn, and even had to beg for a lot of money. But he noticed a problem, that is, the strength of this abbot with an unknown Buddhist name was not at the bottom of the four major forces as the president told him.

When the Qingtian Sect was around, Long Xiong would not do such boring things as ranking, but now that the mysterious Bai Dun has died, Long Xiong has talked about the top five strongest people in the righteous world. Among them, the first one must be Qing Xunzi, Wang Yuanke is the second, the third is him, Long Xiong, and the fourth is this host.

Now it seems that this host will not be ranked so low at all, but will be more low-key than some guys in the academy. Buddha has no seven emotions and six desires, otherwise how can he be called Buddha? In that case, it is not strange not to reveal his true strength. But Gou Ge is a little curious, how strong is his strength? Where is the peak?
