Chapter 167: Enlightened Beast
Master Miao Shan brought the two of them to an empty side hall. There was a cushion in the middle, and only a bald monk standing next to the cushion.
Master Miaoshan put her hands together and bowed to the bald monk who was transformed from the Kunlun mountain guardian beast Kaiming. Then she sat cross-legged on the cushion and looked at Zheng Wenjie and Ma Xiaoling with bright eyes.
"You two, I shouldn't have helped you this time, but I was originally the incarnation of the mortal tears of Avalokitesvara, and I can't bear to see the world fall into pain because of Zheng Wenjie."
"Master Miao Shan, what do you mean?" Kuang Tianyou asked with a slightly frown. According to what he knew and the information he had heard, Zheng Wenjie did not actually do anything extremely harmful.
There were only four of them, including himself and the zombie named Tong Min who bit Jin Zhengzhong to death. They also stored enough blood. He had touched the blood talisman and knew that there was enough blood in it for them to drink for at least a hundred years.
And Zheng Wenjie was obviously controlling the zombies under his command to transform ordinary people into zombies, otherwise it wouldn't have taken sixty years for only four of them to do so.
Miao Shan sighed sadly: "The magical power I possess is the same as that of Guanyin Bodhisattva, called Tianshitong, which can predict the past, present, and future!"
"What I can tell you is that one day in the future, the whole world will be plunged into dire straits because of Zheng Wenjie."
"This..." Kuang Tianyou remained silent, looked at Ma Xiaoling, and nodded firmly.
Ma Xiaoling also looked at Master Miaoshan with determination and said, "Master, we will definitely change history!"
"I hope so... I helped you this time. If you fail, you will have to rely on yourself in the future."
"I will send you back to the past this time. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, I will be abandoned by heaven and earth."
After Miao Shan finished speaking, she formed seals with her hands, and two blooming nine-petal lotus flowers appeared in front of her, emitting a sacred and innocent golden light. Kuang Tianyou felt uncomfortable just looking at it.
"Kuang Tianyou, what you can do is to delay Jiang Chen, or help the Ma family eliminate Jiang Chen."
"Besides that, you cannot change anyone except your own life and death. Otherwise, the fate of countless people will change because of you! It will cause immeasurable chaos."
"The Ci Line will accurately lead you back to 1938, which was sixty years ago today. But if the Ci Line is broken, you will disappear into the black hole of time!"
A trace like a tear of blood appeared on Miao Shan's forehead. She closed her eyes, and the seals of her hands kept changing. Two nine-petal lotus flowers floated in the air and rotated. Two transparent thin threads were wrapped around Kuang Tianyou and Ma Xiaoling respectively.
The entire side hall was illuminated by the pure and sacred golden light emanating from Miao Shan. Ma Xiaoling felt as if she was in a tranquility and peace beyond this world.
Kuang Tianyou closed his eyes tightly, frowned, and tried hard to suppress his inexplicable panic.
"Go! Remember, eight o'clock!"
As soon as Miao Shan finished speaking, Kuang Tianyou and the other man felt their feet go empty and the world was spinning around them in an instant.
Until she felt her feet on solid ground again, Ma Xiaoling's legs went limp and she sat down on the ground. The fresh air she had never experienced before made her open her eyes, and what she saw was the gloomy sky.
"Kuang Tianyou, have we gone back to the past?" Ma Xiaoling murmured as she looked at the overgrown mountain road around her.
Kuang Tianyou opened his eyes stiffly and looked around, his heart already surging with anxiety: "That's right! If I'm not mistaken, this is near Hongxi Village!"
Ma Xiaoling’s mind immediately flashed with Miao Shan’s last words. She raised her wrist to look at her watch and tapped it hard, but the hands remained motionless.
He quickly took out the compass he kept close to him, but still no response.
"Master Miaoshan said that Jiang Chen will bite you to death at eight o'clock." Ma Xiaoling looked up at the sky, thought for a moment and shook her head: "In this weather, we can't confirm the time by looking at the sun. What should we do now?"
"Find your aunt!" Kuang Tianyou had thought about all this a long time ago and had reviewed it in his mind many times.
"Your aunt was the first to discover Jiang Chen before eight o'clock. Let's meet up with your aunt directly, and then we can eliminate Jiang Chen together!"
As Kuang Tianyou spoke, he saw Ma Xiaoling still sitting on the mud, and pulled her up: "You told me that your aunt found Jiang Chen through clues provided by a mountain elf, and acted according to the plan we made!"
Ma Xiaoling gritted her teeth and said, "I can't find the mountain spirit now! The compass and the watch have no response at all. I guess it's because the compass and the watch are things from the future, so they can't be used now!"
"This..." Kuang Tianyou took the compass and took a deep breath. He didn't expect that there would be changes as soon as the plan was made.
"Look!" Ma Xiaoling looked around and said decisively, "Let's go up the mountain! Even if we're not sure about the time, it's still at least three or four hours until eight o'clock!"
In the side hall of the Buddhist temple, after Kuang Tianyou and Ma Xiaoling disappeared, Miao Shan opened her eyes and remained silent.
Kaiming laughed and said, "Master Miaoshan, this is beyond my expectation. I thought you wanted to trap them in an illusion, but I didn't expect you to send them directly into the world of Possa."
"The illusion also has flaws. Only when we send them to the Possa world where the Great Sun Buddha and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva will take action can we be absolutely safe."
Miao Shan said calmly that the world of Possa changes according to the will of Tathagata, and with the help of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara who looks into the past and directly restores it, it will be absolutely safe.
"That's why we don't like you Buddhists. You're so fussy and keep things secret when you want to take action. You always have to take detours!"
"If I could do it, I would just kill Luohou. I really don't know what the Queen Mother of the West is thinking. Even if I don't get rid of Luohou, I don't believe he would dare to use the moon-burying ritual to open the netherworld."
Miao Shan's heart was moved, and she said calmly: "How can the thoughts and ideas of the Kunlun gods and immortals be fully understood by us two little cultivators?"
"They are innate gods. Even if our cultivation improves day by day, we are just foreign objects."
Kaiming snorted coldly, looked at Miaoshan on the futon with displeasure, sat on the ground, and said, "Don't you just want to say that the White Snake and I, Kaiming, are just monsters, and the Queen Mother and the immortals won't care, so why hide it?"
"You Buddhists are good at sowing discord. I think my brother Ao Lie fell for your trick! He betrayed the dragon clan and entered the Pure Land world, but what happened? To put it nicely, he became the Bodhisattva Guangli."
"To put it bluntly, you are worse than me, the one guarding the gate of Kunlun Mountain. All your cultivation has been spent on helping the Great Sun Tathagata to expand the Possa World. Your cultivation has not improved at all in thousands of years."
Miao Shan smiled slightly and said softly: "Guangli Bodhisattva entered my Buddhist sect to escape from the sea of suffering. You are not a fish, so how can you understand the joy of fish?"
Kaiming felt even more unhappy. Ao Lie and he had known each other for ten thousand years. Didn’t he know whether he would be happy?
"Do you think that sending these two people into the Possa world will be foolproof? Didn't I find the most obvious flaw?"
Kaiming sneered and continued: "You warned them solemnly that they could not influence the fate of others except themselves." "But you didn't even care about what they were wearing, carrying, and in their bags. The development of the world in just sixty years can be said to be two eras."
"That zombie was so focused on changing his fate that he didn't have the energy to think about the flaws. That woman was deceived by your Buddhist teachings."
"But the matter is over now. When they think back on it, are you confident they won't find problems?"
Miao Shan's fingertips trembled slightly, and she said softly, "This is a conspiracy to get them to participate and do their best. Such a small detail is not worth mentioning."
Kaiming sneered in his heart, he had seen all the ways that the Buddhist sect plotted against Luohou. They were doing so many things just because they were worried about the dark and yin energy that was rising because of Luohou's moon-burying ceremony.
Otherwise, if they really just wanted to deal with Luohou, since he dared to fake his death, the Buddhists would be able to easily make him die for real.
Luohou is also miserable. He has gone through so much hardship just to make wedding dresses for others. This Xuanyin energy that can break the barrier of Yin and Yang and allow the Yellow Spring to flow into the human world is a good thing.
I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him, treating him like a pig. Kaiming couldn't understand why, as the first batch of original humans created by Kunlun, they were created completely based on the template of the Queen Mother of the West.
If he practices honestly for tens of thousands of years, even if he has poor talent, he can become an earthly immortal like him. Why is he still a mortal cultivator now? Kaiming simply cannot understand him.
I don't know what the Queen Mother of the West was thinking. She even used the white snake to exchange for the Buddhist sect to take action against Luohou. Isn't this just giving the white snake to the Buddhist sect for nothing? The Mother of Mount Li actually agreed to it.
Could it be that as what Guanyin Tears said, we demon fairies are really not worth mentioning in the eyes of the innate gods such as the Queen Mother of the West and the Mother of Lishan?
Kaiming was shocked when he thought of this. Why did he think so? It must be the trick of Guanyin Tears!
Kaiming felt more and more that these Buddhist practitioners were not good people. Brother Ao Lie must have suffered a lot in the Possa world. Brother Ao Lie couldn't take revenge, but he could. He would avenge Ao Lie.
It's true. The more Kaiming thought about it, the more he felt it was right. As for the task assigned to him by Kunlun, he forgot about it. He was a divine beast guarding the mountain gate and he avenged his brother. What's wrong with disgusting Buddhism?
Even the Queen Mother of the West couldn't stand this group of Buddhist practitioners and would never blame him.
Judging from Miao Shan’s current performance, she can still use Tianshitong to see the future of these two people, so she staged such a drama. In other words, in the future when they deal with Luohou, Zheng Wenjie will not intervene.
Now, as long as Zheng Wenjie is dragged into this, Tian Shitong will not be able to see the future of these two people for the time being. Since Miao Shan has already told them that they will return to the Possa world to be punished after today.
Even if today is over, Zheng Wenjie still does not interfere in Luohou's affairs in the future. If Miao Shan appears again for the Xuanyin energy, the flaw will be even bigger.
What's more, Zheng Wenjie and the zombie named Kuang Tianyou are just lucky guys, and neither of them is older than the youngest boy on Kunlun Mountain.
Kuang Tianyou believed that Miao Shan could help him change history, and Zheng Wenjie would certainly be no exception. So, Miao Shan, you are lucky enough to be able to return to the Possa world alive today.
Kaiming couldn't help but grin and said to Miao Shan: "Since you have already made up your mind, I won't say much. I will return to Kunlun and will no longer pay attention to Luohou's affairs."
"Goodbye! Haha." Kaiming said, and his body surged. Eight human heads popped out from his shoulders and neck. His body also crawled and turned into a tiger. He flew out of the Buddhist temple in one move.
Miao Shan chanted a Buddhist chant as a farewell gesture and did not take Kaiming's sudden departure to heart.
In the villa
Zheng Wenjie was flipping through the earliest sutra that records Vairocana Buddha, a rubbing of the Vairocana Sutra. Looking at the Vairocana Buddha recorded in it, it was written that he was immortal, existed forever in the human world, and protected the human world.
"Tsk, half and half."
According to Zheng Wenjie's understanding of Vairocana Tathagata after their conversation with A-Cha, the Possa world is Vairocana Tathagata, which is equivalent to the world consciousness of the Possa world, and can be said to be neither born nor destroyed.
After reading it, Zheng Wenjie looked up at Zhao Wenru who was sitting upright opposite him.
Zheng Wenjie didn't think of going to find him to give him time to adjust the Yin acupoints in the foundation of Tongtian Pavilion. He didn't expect that he would come to him on his own today.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Zhao Wenru's expression was almost as if he had something urgent written all over his face, but Zheng Wenjie didn't care. He just finished reading the Great Sun Sutra that Gong Ruomei had specially brought to the auction.
After all, Zhao Wenru might have an urgent matter and needed his help, but in the end, it was because of him that seven living people were so cruelly beaten to death.
Although Zheng Wenjie didn't care much about the lives of these seven people, he still couldn't muster any good impression of Zhao Wenru when he saw his appearance.
Zhao Wenru looked anxious. Seeing that Zheng Wenjie finally let him speak, he hurriedly said, "Sir, I heard the news that Master Miaoshan cast a spell to send the two people there today. I heard that he wanted to eliminate Jiang Chen!"
Zheng Wenjie's eyelids jumped, and he suddenly remembered that if the original process was followed, Master Miaoshan would indeed let Yamamoto Kazuo, Ma Xiaoling, and Kuang Tianyou travel through time to change history. Although they failed, it was due to various reasons.
The current situation is that there are only Kuang Tianyou and Ma Xiaoling, and no one will interfere with them, so there is a high probability of success!
Zheng Wenjie's first reaction was that Vairocana Tathagata was causing trouble and he couldn't deal with him, so he cut off the source of the problem and went back to the past to change the future.
If they really succeeded, Zheng Wenjie didn't dare to think about it. His family knew his own business, and he had no confidence that he could live to a ripe old age in that era.
I'm afraid I'll struggle to survive for a few years, and then be killed by a little trouble.
"Where is it!" Zheng Wenjie shouted hurriedly.
"Four months ago, Master Miaoshan opened an altar at the Buddhist temple." As soon as Zhao Wenru finished speaking, Zheng Wenjie disappeared, leaving Zhao Wenru with a look of surprise.
Do you really believe you can travel back in time and change history?
Zhao Wenru thought of Kaiming's solemn words and was about to refuse. This was not an important matter arranged by Kunlun. If Pluto discovered any clues, he would not end up well.
But since Kaiming directly threatened him, Zhao Wenru had no choice but to accept it. He wanted to go to Kunlun to become an immortal, and he needed help from others, and he also had something to hold against him.
But no one would have expected that Zheng Wenjie, who dared to fight Lord Pluto in the underworld, would actually believe that he could change the past.
Zhao Wenru did not doubt Zheng Wenjie, but his eyes lit up. Zheng Wenjie, who could fight with Hades and cause chaos in the underworld, was naturally a powerful person with extremely high cultivation.
It could make him so anxious and open-minded and confident. Could it be that there really is some magical power in this world that can change the past?
