Chapter 287: Spring and Autumn Cicada? Blood Skull Gu?

Seeing Han Yi fall silent, Duobao Tathagata continued, "Endless years later, Daoist Cangjie used the history of the human race to create the "Records of Sages" to warn the human race, and with the help of the power of the long river of time and space, he sent it to the time when Dayu established the nine provinces. And you are the book spirit of the "Records of Sages"!"

As soon as Duobao Tathagata opened his mouth, a picture suddenly appeared in Han Yi's soul. It was a book, born in the hands of an old man with double pupils.

Cangjie, also known as Shihuangshi, was born with double pupils, which was different from ordinary people. He was an official under Xuanyuan. He created the human writing system and gave the human race its own history.

He understood that the old man with double pupils who appeared in his soul was Cangjie, the ancestor of human beings.

“书灵吗？”

Han Yi sighed softly.

It's not that he had never thought that his memories of later life were filled in by others, but he had never thought that he was actually created by Cangjie.

The words of Duobao Tathagata resolved many of his doubts, and he also understood what Cangjie was using to influence his thinking and actions.

Records of the sages!
Han Yi often reflects on himself and learns from the past. Whenever he needs to make a decision, he will involuntarily think of the stories of the ancient sages in "Records of Ancient Sages"!
The reason is that he himself is the book spirit born in "Records of Sages"!
Then, Duobao Tathagata talked about his experiences in the original timeline.

In the original timeline, after the defeat of Jiejiao, he was captured by Taiqing Laozi, who transformed him into a Buddha and allowed him to join the Buddhist sect.

However, knowing that Taiqing Laozi had bad intentions, Zhunti Taoist used Western magic to wash away Duobao's past memories after Duobao joined Buddhism.

It was not until the great calamity of Buddha and Demon came that Kinnara, who transformed himself into Wu Tian, ​​followed the destiny and went to Lingshan. He was forced to enter Nirvana, and only then did he awaken his past memories in the cycle of reincarnation.

After the Buddha-Devil Calamity ended, his path became perfect and his Tao fruit was almost flawless. Finally, when the Dharma-Ending Calamity arrived, he entered the world to use Buddhism to save the people trapped in the calamity, and thus attained the Tao of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

This is Duobao’s experience!

Although Duobao Tathagata passed it over in just a few words, Han Yi and Tongtian Jiaozhu both understood how difficult it was to attain the Dao of Hunyuan.

Tongtian Patriarch patted Duobao Tathagata on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You have found your own way, which is enough to prove that my vision is much better than Yuanshi's!"

"teacher!"

Duobao Tathagata was flattered.

Tongtian Sect Master showed a hint of affirmation and smiled, then said: "To prove the Dao two kalpas in advance and project the future Dao fruit into the present prehistoric world, I am afraid there will be some big hidden dangers!"

"Especially now, Buddhism has not yet flourished in the world. You are just like Jie Yin Zhunti, borrowing merits from the Heavenly Dao, and overdrawing the future fortune of Buddhism!"

"If someone targets you and hinders the prosperity of the West, it will probably affect your Dao fruit and cause you to fall from the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian!"

As a saint, Master Tongtian had a keen eye for Dharma and could see through the situation of Tathagata Duobao at a glance. He knew what price he had paid for confusing cause and effect.

He gambled his own path and forcibly changed the history of Jiejiao's defeat.

"If an enemy comes, we will stop him; if water comes, we will block it with earth!" A confident look suddenly appeared on Duobao Tathagata's face: "If they want to knock me down to the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, they have to see if they have the ability to do so!"

After the deification, the saint did not come out. Although Jie Yin, Zhunti and Tong Tian Jiaozhu all supported him, he did not believe that there were any living beings that could hinder the prosperity of Buddhism in the world.

Upon hearing this, Master Tongtian shook his head and said, "The man from Shouyang Mountain is no pushover. He seems to be doing nothing, but he is actually making plans everywhere in the prehistoric world. If I can see your problem, he can definitely see it too!"

"In the original timeline, he and Yuanshi Tianzun owed favors to the West, so it was not easy for them to curb the development of Buddhism openly. That's why they tried to convert the barbarians into Buddhas!"

“But now, the general trend of Heaven has shifted. Buddhism came into being ahead of schedule. In the Zhuxian Sword Formation, Jie Yin and Zhunti chose to stand aside and watch. He will definitely not be as gentle as he was in the original timeline. He will definitely find a way to suppress Buddhism and promote Taoism, hinder the rise of Buddhism, and curb the development of the West!”

"It is certainly a good thing that the saint does not come out, but the power that Taiqing can mobilize is definitely not something that the Buddhist sect can resist without a saint in charge!"

After the Conferred God Ceremony, no saints appeared, which certainly restricted the Taoist sect, but didn’t it also restrict Buddhism?
after all……

Xuanmen has been prosperous for dozens of eras, and its foundation is much deeper than that of Buddhism.

Taoist Duobao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master! Isn't it natural that Junior Brother Han Yi is here? I took the blame for him, and he should be my Tathagata for a while, isn't that the right thing to do?"

"I?"

Upon hearing this, Han Yi couldn't help but point at himself with an extremely puzzled expression.

Although Duobao Tathagata was one of the masterminds in modifying history, he was the most crucial existence as an anchor point and an anomaly in the great way.

Therefore, when Duobao Taoist took the initiative to take the blame, he had a bad premonition.

but……

He didn't expect that retribution would come so quickly!

He remembered that in this life, just as he had achieved the Dao Fruit of Heavenly Immortal, the Patriarch Tongtian came to him and said to him: "You will be the Patriarch Tongtian!"

Now, Duobao Tathagata wants to use him as a scapegoat and replace his identity as Tathagata in the Buddhist community.

In the past, Tathagata’s identity was naturally an opportunity, but now, no matter who sits in that position, he will face the calculations of Taiqing Laozi!

This time, that time!
Han Yi didn't think that as a Daluo Jinxian, he could withstand the calculations of the saint.

He still wants to stay alive for a while!

"Junior brother!"

Duobao Tathagata suddenly revealed a malicious smile, approached Han Yi and said: "This matter has to be done by you! You set up a plan to surround and kill Taoist Lu Ya, causing the West to lose a Vairocana Tathagata. I took the blame for you and had to become a saint ahead of time! This is equivalent to the future of Buddhism losing two Tathagatas! Only you, an anomaly in the great way, can make up for this cause and effect! Don't forget, you are also a direct disciple of Buddhism!" "This..."

Han Yi also knew that many changes would happen in the future because of him, but he still felt panicked when he suddenly owed two Buddha statues to the Buddhist sect.

Duobao Tathagata continued, "Therefore, Junior Brother, not only must you repay my debt, but you must also find a way to train another Tathagata for the Buddhist sect!"

Han Yi couldn't help but twitch his face.

He knew that since Taoist Duobao took the initiative to tell him so many things, there must be a trap waiting for him.

Moreover, he had no right to refuse.

After thinking for a while, he showed an embarrassment and sighed, "Brother, if you want me to be the Tathagata for you, you should at least give me some benefits!"

As he spoke, Han Yi couldn't help rubbing his right index finger and thumb together, and the meaning was very clear - add money!
It’s okay to take the blame, but you have to give some benefits!
Duobao Tathagata was helpless: "Brother, I am also penniless now! Not only do I owe the Buddhist cause and effect, but I have also damaged the Twelve Merit Golden Lotuses! What do you think I can do for you now? After the Western Paradise is prosperous, will you, as the new Tathagata, still be short of this little benefit?"

Han Yi shook his head and said, "Brother, look at me. My current cultivation level is only that of a Golden Immortal. What qualifications do I have to be the new Tathagata?"

Duobao Tathagata thought for a moment, took out a golden cicada from the void and said, "Then I'll give you the Spring and Autumn Cicada!"

"Spring and Autumn Cicada?"

Han Yi couldn't help but look strange.

"cough!"

Duobao Tathagata coughed lightly and explained, "Of course, you can also call him Golden Cicada! He is not a real Spring and Autumn Cicada yet! But, as long as you accept him as your disciple, teach him the Great Way of Time and Space, and let him walk through the reincarnation a few more times, he may be able to transform into a real Spring and Autumn Cicada!"

Seeing this, Han Yi couldn't help but twitch his lips, and then said expressionlessly: "Brother, you really made a good plan! It's ok to let me replace your identity as Tathagata, but you even sold me your apprentice! Teaching Jin Chanzi is clearly what you should do!"

"No! No! No!"

Duobao Tathagata quickly shook his head and said, "You are now the Tathagata of Buddhism! If that's the case, then Jin Chanzi should be your disciple!"

Seeing Han Yi remained silent, Duobao Taoist took out another black mosquito and said, "How about I give you the future Blood Skull Gu to teach? If Jin Chanzi is well trained, maybe he can be trained into a Spring and Autumn Cicada. And this Mosquito Taoist is just as good as Jin Chanzi!"

Looking at what Duobao Tathagata took out, Han Yi couldn't help but twitch his mouth again.

The Golden Cicada cultivates the Avenue of Time and Space, which is equal to the Spring and Autumn Cicada!

The Mosquito Taoist lives by sucking blood, which is equivalent to the Blood Skull Gu!

like……

There's nothing wrong with it!
He said, why didn’t Taoist Mosquito appear in this catastrophe?
It turned out that it was not that it did not appear, but that it had been suppressed by Duobao Tathagata a long time ago!

Brother, are you also a Gu fan?
Han Yi thought to himself.

but……

I'm afraid Duobao Tathagata didn't expect that even though he had suppressed the Mosquito Taoist in advance, the Golden Lotus of Merit that suppressed the fortune of Buddhism still fell to the ninth level.

The predecessor of Jin Chanzi was the six-winged golden cicada, a vicious ancient insect, and the predecessor of Mosquito Taoist was the bloodthirsty black mosquito. Both of them have strength that is not inferior to that of those with great supernatural powers.

Today, these two ancient evil insects have had their vicious aura and past memories washed away by Tathagata through Mahayana Buddhism and the teachings of Nirvana, turning them into beings similar to relics.

With just a few simple enlightenment or by letting them go through reincarnation, they can become the backbone of Buddhism and a candidate for the new Tathagata.

Duobao Tathagata probably had anticipated this and had already arranged the route for Han Yi in advance.

Han Yi didn't say anything.

Duobao Tathagata has the memories of the Buddha-Devil Calamity and the Dharma-Ending Calamity. It is estimated that he has taken away many opportunities that have not yet been revealed in the prehistoric times.

The value of Jin Chanzi and Mosquito Taoist is certainly immeasurable, but he still wants more.

He has no shortage of spiritual treasures now.

What he lacks now is the means to quickly increase his strength, helpers who can provide him with assistance, and living beings who can practice the Yuanshi Great Way.

After thinking for a while, Han Yi spoke again: "Brother, you have given me the Golden Cicada and the Mosquito Taoist, why don't you give me the monkey as well!"

"That monkey, Master Zhunti has already reserved it, so don't even think about it!" Duobao Tathagata shook his head and said, "But you can go find the six-eared macaque!"

As he said this, he pointed a finger at Han Yi's soul and said, "No matter how much more benefits you get, I don't have any more! You can use the Pure Yang authority to go find fellow Taoist Queen Mother of the West!"

Obviously, Duobao Tathagata knew that Han Yi had killed Master Lu Yan and obtained the Pure Yang power, which made him attractive to the Queen Mother of the West.

When he mentioned the Queen Mother of the West, he hoped to divert Han Yi's attention and stop him from staring at him alone.

"Brother, that's not what I meant!"

Han Yi showed an awkward smile and said, "I mean, can you give me something, like a treasure that contains a saint's strike?"

Since he has to take the blame, he naturally has to find a way to get more benefits for himself.
