Chapter 271 The Strange Guanyin
Is this ever going to end?
Fang Zuo frowned.
"And then?" he asked, looking down at Yuya Mikami.
Most Japanese women are petite. This petite woman, who is only about 1.6 meters tall, was looking up at him with a look of grievance.
But just after I asked the question, before Yua Mikami answered, she closed her beautiful eyes, tilted her head and lay down on the ground.
Fang Zuo frowned, reached out his hand, grabbed her into his arms, and felt her veins and blood.
She really fainted . Although she fainted, her stomach started to growl.
It seems that this woman was caught by herself as soon as she got up, and she went through all kinds of intimidation and mental torture.
I didn't eat anything for a day, and my period came, which lowered my blood energy.
Fang Zuo looked at the woman with her eyes closed and a pale face and sighed.
She lifted her skirt subtly.
It was indeed a bright red.
When it comes to Tiangui, no one understands it better than Taoists.
Gui is one of the ten heavenly stems, corresponding to the Yin water of the five elements.
Tian is indeed the most yang, so although Tiangui is the most yin, there is yang within the yin.
The ultimate yin and the ultimate yang.
Therefore, low-level Taoist disciples often use this to break evil spells.
Although he could stop her menstruation with a wave of his hand, her vagina was blocked and her body was damaged, making her infertile.
We can't let her be unable to have children in the future.
Either kill her outright or let her live, but the outcome of the Longevity Contract is still unknown, and leaving her childless for no reason is not what a Taoist master should do.
Although Taoists do not pay much attention to the law of cause and effect when cultivating themselves, they often ask the three questions of Taoism.
You can't knock on the door and ask your conscience [Why did you kill her? My period came! Why did you cut her off? My period came! Why didn't you move? My period came! ]
Fang Zuo looked at the 7-11 convenience store not far away and sighed. What the hell is going on?
Looked up at the sky.
The moon in autumn is exceptionally bright.
A full moon doesn't seem so bright under the dazzling neon lights of the city at night.
Dirty.
Not to mention the starry sky, not a single star can be seen.
A bunch of stupid gods just ran away so irresponsibly, without caring about what happened to others after them.
I practiced hard to become an immortal, not to do this for others. Fang Zuo sighed.
After a while.
The lights are swaying.
The fluffy texture of the coat that covered her upper body woke up Yua Mikami.
She slowly opened her big eyes.
Where is this?
A familiar place.
I was lying in the back seat of the pink Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
The hateful man who frightened her was still sitting in the passenger seat with his eyes closed.
I remember that I seemed to be dizzy. Oh, and my period came.
Yua Mikami quickly looked at her skirt and was shocked.
She changed into a new skirt, which was from the big bag in the back seat of her car.
But then something wrong happened under her skirt, which made her already sensitive skin turn red all over in an instant.
Yua Mikami looked at it and found that her pink thong had been changed into the pure cotton underwear in her bag.
Still wearing a sanitary napkin.
"This, this, this?" she stammered and asked the man in the passenger seat.
"Shut up, are you ready? If you're ready, get out of the car quickly, eat something first, and then take me there quickly." The man shouted angrily.
The anger in his words showed that he was in a very bad mood.
Yua Mikami didn't dare to say anything. She wanted to tidy up her hair but didn't dare to delay. She quickly grabbed the Chanel baseball cap from the back seat and put it on, then opened the car door and climbed out.
I was so hungry that I was seeing stars, my hands and feet were weak, and I almost collapsed on the ground.
She gritted her teeth and stood up.
Fortunately, the parking lot is on the second floor below ground level of the shopping mall, and there is a ramen restaurant on the floor above.
"What do you want to eat?" Yua Mikami stood at the self-service ordering machine and ordered ramen.
The man's face turned livid and he ignored her.
Yua Mikami curled her red lips, her kindness was in vain.
Isn't it just changing yourself into something?
Why are you so angry?
I'm the one who's suffering. He's seen everything, but I'm not even angry, so why should he be angry?
Yua Mikami cursed in her heart.
At the same time, her little face turned red again.
I felt hot all over and uncomfortable, hungry and hot.
She pulled off her coat to reveal her smooth round shoulders.
She stole another glance at the man standing next to her.
My naturally shy secret was seen nakedly by a strange man today.
Watched it twice more.
Yua Mikami sat in her seat, eating ramen while constantly stealing glances at the man with his eyes closed next to her.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, luckily he had his eyes closed, otherwise I would never dare to look at him like that.
This mysterious man.
He killed dozens of people with a wave of his hand, but then changed his underwear, skirt and more. Yua Mikami was too shy to think further.
For Japanese women, being strong and charming is a gene ingrained in their bones, but how can they be strong and yet so gentle at the same time?
I don't know if I should use the word 'gentle'.
Mikami Yuya hesitated. Was this gentleness? Or attentiveness? "What are you looking at? Eat quickly." The man scolded again.
Take back the word gentle! Mikami Yuya picked up a piece of pork and a braised egg and chewed it vigorously.
"Can I ask a question?" After drinking half a bowl of hot soup, Yua Mikami felt hot all over and her skin was sensitive and uncomfortable.
She asked, tilting her head, pursing her red lips, her big eyes full of suspicion.
I have never doubted my beauty, and pretending to be pitiful always works well.
It is suitable for both men and women, young and old.
"Speak!" The man still didn't open his eyes, as if he disdained to see her.
"Why." Yua Mikami was a little annoyed and embarrassed.
But it was so uncomfortable that I couldn't help it.
"Why does it hurt so much and it hurts?" she asked shyly, then quickly lowered her head and continued eating ramen.
He pretended to ask casually, but awkwardly poked around in the ramen bowl with his chopsticks.
"What do you mean by burning pain? Where?" Fang Zuo opened his eyes, crossed his arms, and looked at Mikami Yuya holding the bowl without eating. He frowned and said, "I told you to eat faster, but what are you doing with your chopsticks? Are you stabbing fish? Are you stalling for time? Do you believe me?"
"You helped me change that thing..." Mikami Yuya was extremely aggrieved by being scolded, and raised her head to interrupt: "Did you do something? Can't I even ask?"
Fang Zuo finally understood and coughed.
"Well, when I first applied it, the sticky side stuck to your skin."
Close your eyes again.
A little embarrassing.
Yua Mikami stared with wide eyes in disbelief, looking at the man who had his eyes closed and acted as if it was none of her business.
Oh my god! How can you put it wrong? Put the sticky side on the pants. Isn't this common sense?
No wonder it hurts so much.
Fortunately, my body surface is somewhat special , otherwise I would have fainted from the pain.
Fang Zuo closed his eyes and circulated the Qi in his body.
Who the hell has used this? I thought it was meant to be applied directly to the human body.
He closed his eyes and seized the time to refine half of the soul and incense he obtained after hunting down Susanoo.
No longer pay attention to the woman's rolling eyes.
The city of Sendai made him feel something was wrong.
The yin energy is extremely heavy, a bit like the feeling of entering the ancient country of Izumo for the first time. Could this also be a small yin world?
Fang Zuo frowned.
"I'm done eating. Burp." Yua Mikami covered her mouth and burped lightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
This behavior completely goes against the Japanese upper-class education he received since childhood.
"Let's go!" Fang Zuo opened his eyes and stood up decisively.
Speak simply and clearly.
After entering the elevator and following Yua Mikami out of the shopping mall and walking around the tall building, Fang Zuo finally discovered why he felt like he was in the ancient country of Izumo as soon as he entered this city.
In the distant night.
A huge white jade statue of Guanyin appeared before our eyes.
It is about a hundred meters high, towering over the rooftop city.
This white jade Guanyin statue is solemn and dignified, and seems to be very normal.
But it was extremely strange under the cover of night.
In the darkness, a few vague lights were floating above the statue's head.
It's like a will-o'-the-wisp that absorbs people's energy.
The originally holy expression became somewhat eerie and strange.
Fang Zuo looked at him and narrowed his eyes.
Something is very wrong.
What is this huge statue of Avalokitesvara? First of all.
Such huge Bodhisattva statues, which attract incense and spiritual energy, are rarely placed in downtown areas.
The same principle applies to the statues of the Three Pure Ones and the Buddha.
If it is built on such a large scale, it must be placed in the dojo of various suburban temples.
The reason is that they are afraid that the power of incense will disturb popularity, and they are also afraid that popularity will pollute the power of incense.
It is also a kind of cause and effect in an invisible way.
Secondly.
Although he was a Taoist, he knew that there were some problems in the construction of this huge Guanyin statue which was over 100 meters tall.
Usually in the sculpting of the Guanyin statue, the mouth of the pure bottle in the hand can be facing up or down, each representing a different form of Guanyin.
The mouth of the bottle is facing downwards, and this posture is the dripping Guanyin statue among the thirty-three Dharma forms of Guanyin.
It means that Guanyin Bodhisattva is bestowing blessings and grace, and symbolizes giving to all living beings.
But most of the bottle mouths are slanted downwards, which makes them unsuitable for facing people, and certainly not suitable for being built in downtown areas, especially with such a large size.
Such a large statue of Bodhisattva has its mouth facing downwards, facing the entire city. Is it trying to absorb all the popularity of the city of Sendai?
Who on earth built this statue of Guanyin? "It's magnificent, isn't it?" Mikami Yuya saw Fang Zuo standing still staring at the statue of Guanyin, thinking that he was shocked, and said with a little pride: "This was built with funds from our Mikami family."
After she finished speaking, she said in a slightly lower voice: "That person also asked us to do this."
"The person bound by the immortality contract?" Fang Zuo asked with a frown.
“Yes,” said Yua Mikami, “it was built in 1989.”
"Let's go." Fang Zuo said.
Mikami Yuya rolled her eyes and secretly made a face.
Fang Zuo didn't say anything. He followed Mikami Yuya around several single-family houses and walked into a uniquely decorated villa.
At the entrance and walls of the villa stand various Buddhist guardians and mythical beasts.
If it weren't for the modern style, I would have thought it was a small temple.
Mikami Yuya stood at the door of the villa and turned back and said, "Wait a moment, I'll notify someone."
Then a cold wind blew over, she shivered and rang the doorbell.
Fang Zuo stood behind and watched the gusts of cold wind, feeling the tremendous power of the resentful spirits in the villa.
How many people were killed?
The divine mind expands.
In a Buddhist temple in the villa, an old monk who was so skinny that he looked like a skeleton was meditating.
There is almost no muscle or fat in the skin, which clings tightly to the skeleton.
Feeling Fang Zuo's spiritual thoughts, he opened his eyes involuntarily and shouted "Amitabha", but immediately there was a "dong" sound, like a loud bell ringing.
He didn't know why he slapped himself.
At this time, a voice came from the intercom at the entrance of the villa: "I know everything. Mikami Yuya, you wait outside. This donor, please come in."
After saying that, the electric door of the villa opened.
Fang Zuo walked straight in, took a dozen steps through a small garden, and then pushed open the door.
The large living room is a Buddhist temple.
The lights are not on.
There were countless longevity candles placed on the ground, lighting up the entire Buddhist hall.
But the light in the Buddhist hall was still dim.
The reason is that the flame on the longevity candle is as small as a bean and is about to go out.
This old monk, who was as skinny as a skeleton, was sitting in the middle of the Buddhist temple.
The faint candlelight shone on his face, making him look extremely strange and terrifying.
He closed his eyes and remained silent, his skin covered with corpse spots, like a dead person.
Fang Zuo looked around the entire Buddhist hall.
The Buddhist hall is about 500 square meters, and all the walls are made of marble.
The walls are carved with arhats, bodhisattvas and Buddhas.
The statue is so lifelike that the sound of Buddhism emanates from its body.
Without great piety and great Buddhist teachings, it would be impossible to carve such majestic statues of Buddhist beings.
Every move of the knife and every moment is extremely mysterious.
Every line seems natural.
But.
All without heads.
The necks of these statues are broken in different places, which seems to be caused by human beings later.
"Master, I am honored to be here."
The skeleton said in a hoarse voice.
It's not the voice of the soul, the words spoken are in Chinese.
He opened his mouth slightly, and his dry, wrinkled old skin began to crack.
A golden light burst out from his mouth.
A mouth full of gold teeth.
The golden light came from the golden tooth.
Vajra of All Illumination!!!
Fang Zuo's face was serious.
Before becoming an immortal, the highest achievement of Taoism is the Nascent Soul.
Before achieving the status of Arhat, the highest state in Buddhism is Vajra-illuminating.
The most obvious characteristic of a Buddhist disciple who has achieved Vajra-like enlightenment is that his physical body fades away, and all spiritual energy returns to his golden body.
"Greetings, Master." Fang Zuo's face was serious and he bowed rarely.
This is a sign of respect for fellow monks of the same level.
“Please sit down. I didn’t expect to see a Taoist Yuanying Zhenren in this era. In such a Dharma Ending Age, there is still such a level of cultivation. I admire him so much.” The old monk, who looked like a skeleton, pointed to the ground.
A futon appears.
Fang Zuo nodded and sat cross-legged facing him: "I never thought that there is a Vajra of Universal Illumination hidden in this small island country!"
"I am from Dongsheng Shenzhou. This island country was once a part of Dongsheng Shenzhou. If I am not here, then where else can I be?" After the old monk finished speaking, he sneered and continued, "As for this Vajra of All-Seeing, it is better not to have it. What's the point of having it?"
"Then why is the mage so fluent in Chinese?" Fang Zuo did not ask the second question.
A Buddhist disciple insulting Buddhism, what does it have to do with my Taoism!
If he wants to talk, then listen. If he doesn't want to talk, then don't ask!
"My cultivation comes from Jambudvīpa." The old monk smiled and said, "When I was cultivating, I set out from Dongsheng Shenzhou, crossed the vast ocean, and came to the Tang Dynasty in Jambudvīpa. At the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, I was taught the Vajra Realm by Master Huiyin. Later, I studied under Master Huiguo of the Qinglong Temple in Chang'an, cultivated the Garbha Realm, and received the initiation from the Dharma Acharya. Since then, I have achieved the so-called Vajra of Universal Illumination."
"My Great Tang Mandarin is more standard than yours, but I see that you are from the New Territories, where the world has changed a lot and your accent has also changed, so I use a modern accent instead."
"Tang Dynasty? Jambudvīpa?"
This old monk actually experienced the years in Jambudvīpa.
Fang Zuo looked solemn: "How old is the mage?"
I felt something was wrong as early as when I was reading Taoist scriptures.
The biggest bond between the human world, the fairy world and the Buddhist kingdom is naturally Tripitaka's journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
At that time, the world was still divided into four continents, and according to modern history, the dynasty was still the Tang Dynasty.
The Battle of the Gods, Tripitaka's journey to the West.
The two events occurred only a short thousand years apart.
This is just a blink of an eye in the lifespan of countless immortals and Buddhas.
But why has there been such a huge change in just a thousand years?
Of the four continents, only two remained, and their names were also changed.
The heaven and the underworld are both empty, and the Three Pure Ones are not there.
"Life span? It can't be calculated. The heaven and earth and time and space are different. The heaven and earth at that time were also different from those now. The so-called life span algorithm is just a way of calculation in modern society." The old monk shook his head.
"I know you have a lot of questions to ask me, but I can't explain them clearly."
"After I achieved the Vajra of All-Seeing, I returned to Dongsheng Shenzhou and was waiting for the Buddha's Kingdom to take me there. But the heaven and earth changed dramatically. Dongsheng Shenzhou and Beijuluzhou broke apart, and all the creatures in the Ganges River were annihilated. I was among them." The old monk smiled bitterly and said, "After I woke up, I found that the Buddha's guidance had disappeared. There was no Buddha here anymore, so how could I go to the Buddha's Kingdom? So what was the point of bringing the Vajra of All-Seeing here?"
The old monk glanced at Fang Zuo and said, "Master, I'm afraid you have already discovered it a long time ago."
"That's right." Fang Zuo nodded: "I know that the gods and Buddhas in the sky have disappeared. I don't know where they went."
"They left, and the Dharma Ending Age is about to begin a new era. You and I are both people whose future is cut off." The old monk said bitterly, "We are so pious, and they left. Why didn't they take us with them? Why didn't they leave a small path for us to walk on?"
"So the master built the Guanyin statue, using incense and popularity to prolong life." Fang Zuo understood, and then asked: "But why is there so much karma and resentment here? How did the master do it?"
Fang Zuo was a little curious. It was fine to deceive the world by using the statue of Guanyin, but how could the large-scale killings be concealed from the government?
"Of course it was me who did it." The old monk's face was dry and cracked, and he covered his chin in a sinister voice and said, "I just borrowed the power of the Mikami family, used a few industrial accidents as a cover, and caused a few incidents of public death. But this was ultimately a last resort. The choice was made at the moment, but it ended up being a bit self-defeating. The karma and resentment that have been aroused have trapped me so much that I dare not move."
Fang Zuo naturally understood what he meant.
He used human souls to extend his lifespan, but was entangled by the power of cause and effect. In an era when spiritual power is so weak, he dared not consume the original source of Buddhism to purify the power of cause and effect.
Once this is done, not only will the lifespan be extended in vain, but you will also have to pay a lot of money out of your pocket.
An unsolvable closed loop.
"So the master thought of using the Longevity Contract." Fang Zuo said, "But now the Buddha Kingdom is gone, and the role of the Longevity Contract is very limited."
"It's better than nothing. It can only drag on for a few days. People are like this. The longer they live, the more they fear death. Even if they have achieved the status of Vajra of Universal Illumination, they are still afraid of death." The old monk sighed, "Only Jambudvīpa still has some Buddha power. Who made this island country unable to even send incense to it?"
The old monk raised his head and smiled, "I was wondering why the Immortal came here. It turns out that the Immortal came here for the Eternal Life Contract. I guess those temples must have spent a lot of money to invite the Immortal."
"That's right." Fang Zuo nodded. "I wonder if I have a chance to get back the immortality deeds of these thirteen ancient temples from the mage?"
The old monk laughed and said, "Although you are a Taoist, and I am as weak as a withered grass, I am no match for you, but you should know that the immortality contract requires me to voluntarily release it. Otherwise, even if you beat me to death, it will still be in vain."
"That's true." Fang Zuo sighed, "It seems like I made this trip in vain. The woman upstairs even said she would help me persuade you, but I guess she's just overthinking it."
“Not really.” The old monk shook his head. “The longevity contracts of these thirteen ancient temples are like chicken ribs to me now. I can also unlock them as long as the real person promises me three things.”
"One." Fang Zuo shook his head and said, "You should know the way we Taoists act. We are not afraid of trouble but we are afraid of trouble. If it is too troublesome to connect with your karma, I would rather not take the reward from those old guys."
"Two." The old monk said, "I promise it won't be too much trouble for you, so you might as well listen to it."
"Tell me about it." Fang Zuo touched his chin.
The old monk came over in spirit.
"No." Fang Zuo patted his butt, stood up neatly, turned around and prepared to leave.
"We can still discuss it. We can still discuss it." The old monk said hurriedly, "How about we do the first thing after we can achieve the Great Dao of Immortal Beings? The second thing is not a big deal for the Dao Sect, right?"
"It's just to leave a descendant for the San Shang family. I've seen many Taoists practice yin and yang dual cultivation. It's just to pass a little vitality to her during the dual cultivation. What's more, the woman above is charming and a good cauldron. Isn't this okay?"
"Since you can see the Yin-Yang patterns on my Dao rhyme, you naturally know the Dao in my heart. Now I don't have any descendants, so I can't make an exception for this." Fang Zuo turned around and shook his head.
"Then I'll change it." The old monk said, "Just promise to practice dual cultivation with her, is that okay? If you don't agree to this, then you are being too hypocritical. To put it in a common way, are you a man?"
"Whether I am a man or not is none of your business." Fang Zuo said unhappily, "You know a lot about our Dao Sect. Are you betting on the slightest chance when the dragon and the tiger meet and the yin and yang come together?"
"I'm curious, why do you protect the Mikami family so much? They're just a mortal family, why bother with it?"
"After all, I have been friends with the Mikami family for so many years." The old monk's face showed an indescribable melancholy: "I owed the first generation of the Mikami family a promise, that naive little guy."
He chanted the Buddha's name softly, then slapped himself in regret.
"Okay, I agree." Fang Zuo nodded.
"You are a straightforward person, a real man!" The old monk nodded, raised his withered hand and gave a thumbs up.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up." Fang Zuo said unhappily.
The old monk's skull-like face showed a look of reluctance.
He took a deep breath.
Another long sigh.
"What you seek is but a mirage."
The two withered hands make the Avalokitesvara seal.
Slowly close your eyes.
"All phenomena are impermanent, they are subject to birth and death. When birth and death are extinguished, nirvana is bliss."
As this sentence of Buddhist scripture was recited, the old monk's whole body made a sound of bones breaking.
An invisible force dissipated into thin air.
"Donor, that's enough." said the old monk.
There was a flash of golden light in his mouth, and all the gold teeth in his mouth shattered.
"The old monk is quite willing to give." Fang Zuo bowed his head.
"What can I do if I'm reluctant?" The old monk sneered with his dry lips. As the longevity contract dissipated, he seemed to be much more free and easy: "Do you think it's my first day dealing with you Taoists? You Taoists look like you're going to leave, but I know that once you turn around, you'll be slapped down. Would you be willing to leave like this without giving it a try? Fang Zuo touched his chin: "There's no need to describe our Taoists as bandits."
"That's enough." The old monk interrupted, "Instead of doing that, I'd rather trade with you."
"If you really have great potential, maybe I can still leave a seed outside."
"If that time really comes, I will definitely ask the Buddha in person why he abandoned me after appearing in my dream to enlighten me."
After saying this, the old monk's sunken eyes actually turned red.
Muttering to oneself.
It’s just that this bloody color of the skull looks a little scary.
"Why, why? Why. Why?"
The chattering sound echoed over and over again.
Fang Zuo walked out of the villa.
Mikami Yuya asked nervously, "What's going on? Did the old man agree? Do you want me to persuade him? He's always been very kind to me."
Fang Zuo nodded: "Okay, but I agreed to one condition."
"What conditions?" Mikami Yuya breathed a sigh of relief.
I am finally free.
"Fuck you!" the man said.
