Chapter 176 Using My Method
Xiaoqian was incompatible with these demons and monsters, so Gong Mengbi deliberately gave her some advice.
But if Xiaoqian herself has not made up her mind, then no matter how much Gong Mengbi says, it will be in vain.
This tall cliff carving stands in the middle of an abandoned flower garden. The four honors bestowed by the emperors, "Deep in the Shade of Orchids," are engraved on this half of the cliff, highlighting the status and glory of the Lanyin Temple.
However, the previous dynasty has been destroyed, and the current dynasty is in constant turmoil. The splendor of Lanyin Temple has been washed away by the wind and rain over time, leaving only this deserted ancient temple, which has to rely on the Rakshasa ghost to take care of it.
Gong Mengbi looked at the cliff carvings. Apart from the hidden seventh mural which was clearly visible, only the burial place of the monks had some vague outlines.
Colorful and mottled shadows began to appear on the entire cliff carving, like surging soil, and gradually orchid patterns began to appear on the cliff carving, as if they were newly added brushstrokes.
The seventh mural seemed to be eroded by shadows, and orchids gradually grew within it.
A hazy mist appeared around the cliff carvings, a sign that the realm of reality and illusion was gradually collapsing.
Gong Mengbi frowned and said, "No, Zhenniang's resentment is hard to control. If we let it continue, it will inevitably lead to disaster. I want to go in and take a look."
Yan Chixia said without hesitation, "Don't forget me about this kind of thing."
Gong Mengbi looked at Yan Chixia and said, "Brother Yan, this trip is dangerous."
Yan Chixia said: "How could I be a coward who is afraid of death?"
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "What I mean is, don't hide your abilities. Use whatever tricks you have. It's impossible for a Taiyi Palace disciple to only know the art of flying swords."
Yan Chixia was speechless for a moment and said, "You cheated me."
Gong Mengbi calmed down and said to Ning Caichen and Ma Junji, "Just wait outside. I can't protect you this time."
Ning Caichen and Ma Junji were deeply moved and said, "Be careful. Brother Mingfu, your immortal career has not yet been completed, and the Fox Courtyard is waiting for you. You will be useful here, so don't lose yourself here."
Gong Mengbi nodded and walked into the vast white mist. Yan Chixia followed closely behind, and together they disappeared into the real and illusory world.
Ning Caichen, Ma Junji and others were outside the cliff carvings, anxious and worried.
Gong Mengbi and Yan Chixia broke into the realm of truth and fantasy within the cliff carvings, and the first place they arrived at was the monk's burial place.
But at this moment the monk's burial place is no longer as quiet and peaceful as before.
Countless orchids grew out of the soil, and their roots were wriggling like living things.
The gentleman among flowers that is highly praised by scholars, the famous and precious flowers that are valued by the powerful and wealthy, now only makes people feel cold in their hearts and afraid to approach them.
These orchids gradually climbed up the tombs, trapping the monks' bodies in the soil.
Gong Mengbi's heart sank, and his entire body was filled with magical power, like the full moon. A crimson magical power gathered behind him, burning like a flame, like a crimson tail.
With a sweep of the red tail, the heart fire flew up and landed on the orchid. In a moment, a raging fire was born, burning all the orchids.
These orchids squeaked and waved their roots as they drilled into the soil.
But the heart fire was not afraid of being buried by the soil. It burned underground and caused the soil to emit scorching smoke.
In just a moment, a lot of ghost energy rose up and disappeared from the monk's burial place.
Yan Chixia nodded and praised: "It's really popular."
Gong Mengbi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is the heart fire. Fortunately, it is still somewhat effective against these ghost orchids."
The soil in the grave cracked open, and dried corpses crawled out one by one, clasping their hands together towards Gong Mengbi to express their gratitude.
Gong Mengbi looked at the corpses, and suddenly his eyes fixed on a flesh-red dried corpse. He felt that it was very familiar, and asked Yan Chixia, "Do you think that is the abbot?"
Yan Chixia followed his gaze and indeed felt that there was some resemblance. "I heard that if a Buddhist monk has profound Buddhist teachings, his body will not decay after death and will turn into a flesh-and-blood bodhisattva or a flesh-and-blood relic."
When Gong Mengbi looked over, he found that there were quite a few flesh-red corpses. It must be that the monks of Lanyin Temple for hundreds of years were buried here.
Those who have not practiced enough have already turned into dry bones, with only gold growing on their bones as a testament to their practice. Those with advanced cultivation, such as the abbot, have bodies that have not decayed and are flesh relics.
Gong Mengbi used the Tongtian method to communicate with these dead monks.
Gong Mengbi said, "The Rakshasa Ghost Mother is about to escape from the depths of the Orchid Shade, fearing she will cause great suffering to all living beings. I intend to stop her, and I would appreciate your guidance."
Gong Mengbi only heard them sigh and said, "The Rakshasa Ghost Mother is one body with two forms. She has the Buddha's heart and is not afraid of the Dharma. We are powerless to stop her."
Gong Mengbi also sighed and said, "Then please open the seventh level of the realm of true illusion for me. I want to see Zhenru."
The monks chanted scriptures for Gong Mengbi, and as the sky spun and the earth spun, Gong Mengbi and Yan Chixia arrived at the seventh realm of truth and illusion.
The seventh realm of true illusion is almost the same as the monk's burial ground, with orchids growing everywhere, but these orchids look much calmer and less eerie.
Gong Mengbi took a look and said, "Here is the Flower Scattering Fairy again."
Yan Chixia said, "No wonder it was so easy to break through the six-fold true and false world. It turns out that he sneaked in as the Flower-Scattering Goddess and invaded as the Rakshasa Ghost Mother."
The atmosphere in Lanyin Temple was gloomy. Gong Mengbi and Yan Chixia did not stay for long and went straight to look for Zhenru.
I didn't have time to revisit that past event this time, but fortunately, Zhenru had left behind the seventh mural of Yi Nian. This could help quell the disturbances they had caused at Lanyin Temple, preventing them from breaking into the meditation rooms and being caught and punished by the abbot.
They knocked on Zhenru's meditation room, and a sigh came from inside, saying, "Why are you back again?"
The abbot opened the door and walked out, seemingly not noticing them. Gong Mengbi and Yan Chixia then came in unharmed.
Gong Mengbi said, "If we leave, can you stop the Rakshasa Ghost Mother? Your death is not a pity, but the people outside the mountain cannot bear the resentment of the Rakshasa Ghost Mother."
Zhenru glanced at him and said, "I didn't expect that you, a fox fairy, would have such a broad mind. It's just that your two strengths are low, and you two can't stop her."
Gong Mengbi said: "You must have a way."
Zhenru said, "I have no other options."
Gong Mengbi said: "In that case, then use my method."
Zhenru asked doubtfully, "What can you do?"
Gong Mengbi said, "I will ask the Queen Mother of Mount Tai to conquer the demon. If she succeeds, I will send Zhenniang to the underworld and she will never be able to be reborn. If she fails, at worst, I will sacrifice her life, but she will be wanted by the Yue Mansion from now on, and she will never have peace."
Zhenru laughed: "You are just a fox fairy..."
Gong Mengbi also laughed. He took out two things, one was the Taiyue Divine Talisman, and the other was an "I Got It" stamped with the Jade Fairy Goddess's private seal.
Zhenru immediately stopped laughing.
Gong Mengbi put away the two things and said, "Do you have any idea now?"
Zhenru said: "Originally there is no way, but since you have such ability, then there is a way."
