Chapter 362: Continuous harvest, divine objects obtained [Subscription required]

"Keep beating him." Cao Cao said.

"okay."

Dian Wei agreed, put away his double halberds, and used one hand like a hammer to hit Shi Zimiao on the top of the head from top to bottom.

There was a muffled sound.

This force penetrated into the body from the top of the head, sweeping through the meridians, blood and flesh throughout the body.

Almost all the bones in Shi Zimiao's body were broken.

Xu Chu was in the front, slapping Shi Zimiao in the face repeatedly.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Zimiao's face collapsed, it was a horrible sight.

But there seemed to be a special vitality in his body that protected him and prevented him from dying on the spot.

Cao Cao came closer, and with the sound of a dragon's roar, Chi Xiao broke through the air and fell into his hand.

The red sword light burned like fire.

Shi Zimi was then forced to his knees by Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

Cao Cao looked at the bead between his eyebrows, which was emitting a faint golden light.

The endless vitality in his body comes from this bead.

[The Buddha attained enlightenment at the age of 35 and founded Buddhism, which spread in northern India and the Ganges River basin in central India.

The Buddha passed away at the age of 80 in Kushinagar, leaving behind the relics of the seven consciousnesses to spread the Dharma.

[The area between Shizi's eyebrows is one of the seven consciousness relics]

[The relics can gather the power of the believers and protect them from disasters and death. They can also gather the public's consciousness, spread the teachings, and manifest the Buddha's light through the relics.

If the relics are used as a medium, external damage can be shared with the believers who provide the power of thought.

When Cao Cao saw the entry, he thought that this bead must have a great origin.

It turned out to be a relic of Buddha, which was unexpected.

This provides a reasonable explanation for many things.

Shi Zimiao stole the good fortune of humanity and resisted the backlash without any harm. This was because he relied on the Buddha's relics to protect himself and digested this good fortune.

He appeared many times and was able to avoid danger every time, probably because of this relic.

The fake Taoist master was able to withstand Chi Xiao’s attack and survive.

Judging from the push of the entry, this relic seems to have the opposite effect, allowing the fake Taoist master and Shi Zimiao to communicate with each other.

In a sense, they shared and transferred the harm from the outside world with their believers.

That is why these Buddhists were able to escape time and again.

Shi Zimiao's face and body were covered in blood, but his body was still full of life.

"Back in Luoyang, I should have killed you first."

Shi Zimiao's voice was low and weak, full of hatred.

"shit."

Cao Cao stretched out Chixiao, and the sword light touched Shi Zimiao's brow, and pushed it outward, trying to take out the Seven Consciousness Relics between his eyebrows.

Shi Zimiao screamed loudly, and streaks of blood appeared between his eyebrows, pulling at the relics.

The Buddha's light in the relics gradually grew stronger, resisting Chi Xiao.

"My Buddha's journey to the East is what the Buddha pointed out, so that all living beings can be freed from suffering."

"You dare to stop me. You deserve to die. Buddha will come to the East and flourish. No one can stop him."

"Cao Mengde, I have already made arrangements with you. Even if you, Cao Wei, forcibly establish a country, it will be difficult to pass on and will surely perish."

Shi Zimiao screamed and said bitterly:
"We have been operating for many years. If you can stop us for a while, it will be useless in the end."

"You were chased around by the Brahmans in Sindhu, suffering heavy casualties, and could only survive in the northern region. You made up the story that Buddha should cross the river to the east and prosper, and then you believed it yourself?" Cao Cao said disdainfully.

At this time, the relic between Shi Zimiao's eyebrows had been cut off by Chi Xiao and was about to fall off.

"How can you, a person from the East, know about the Brahma religion?"

On the surface, Cao Cao was talking to Shi Zimiao, but in fact he was using words to guide his emotions and taking the opportunity to listen to his inner voice.

The thoughts that emerged in his mind were known to Cao Cao, who thus mastered many secrets of the spread of Buddhism to the East.

This Shi Zimiao is a big fish.

He risked his life to travel eastwards, transformed himself into Shi Zimiao, spread the teachings in the East and stole fortune.

He and Jia Daozun were the leaders of the Buddhists who crossed the sea to the Han territory.

There were five leaders who first came to the East to preach, and they were called the Five Buddhists, also known as the Sons of Buddha.

The real Taoist master, who once killed a leader of the Buddhist sect that crossed the East, was one of the Five Buddha Disciples.

When the fake Taoist Master broke into Emperor Wu's tomb, he stole the Qilin Pill and triggered a mechanism, and was restricted by Emperor Wu's tomb. He was chased out of the tomb with the Scarlet Sky Sword and killed another person, who was also one of the Five Buddhist disciples.

There was also the fake Taoist priest who was killed by Cao Cao.

The Shi Zimiao in front of us are all disciples of the Five Directions Buddha.

The high-ranking Buddhists who came to the Eastern Divine Land have almost been killed.

The three who tried to capture Diao Chan just now were their original believers, who came from afar to protect the Five Buddhas.

Cao Cao knew every thought in Shi Zimi's mind.

"You Buddhists were unable to defeat Brahmanism and were forced to flee. You took advantage of the civil unrest in China to sneak in and cause chaos. When China is governed, it will be your time to die.

I will issue an order to clean up the Middle Earth, and I will come back another day to kill all of you remaining Buddhist evildoers."

"The Buddha's light is immortal, so why should I die?"

The flesh on Shi Zimiao's face twitched and squirmed, as if he was laughing: "If I die, many people in Middle-earth will die too."

"You mean to transfer the harm, and let the believers share the harm you have suffered?"

Cao Cao: "That's perfect, isn't it? Let's destroy all the so-called believers you have accumulated through years of hard work."

Shi Zimiao looked surprised, but had no chance to speak again.

A stream of sword energy pierced into his forehead and penetrated other secret acupoints, meridians, and blood vessels in his body.

Cao Cao swung his sword and dug out the Buddha's relic from between his eyebrows.

Dian Wei punched out, creating a huge hole in Shi Zimiao's heart.

The sword energy pierced through his eyebrows, and his heart, the source of his blood and energy, was shattered.

If Buddha came, he would die on the spot if he suffered such an injury.

"Take out the stuff from him.

They were all stolen from my Han land."

Cao Cao himself had people rob the tomb. He was stealing things from his own home. He took them out for use in times of chaos and circulated them on his own land.

But when someone comes to steal, I feel very angry.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu searched Shi Zimiao thoroughly.

There are indeed many treasures.

Cao Cao flipped through it and found some Buddhist practice methods, including allowing them to transform into various forms of living beings, multi-armed Buddha bodies, etc.

There is also a simple volume.

There are actually records related to the Xiantai Seal in it, and it mentions the Yellow River Tomb, Emperor Wu's Tomb, the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, the Qinling Tomb, as well as the Taishan Ancient Tombs, the Kunlun Fairy Ruins and other places again.

Cao Cao thought that Kunlun Ruins was a land of immortals and demons in myths and legends. Could such a place really exist?

He glanced through it briefly and put it away. It was not the time to look at it carefully.

The most important thing left by Shi Zimiao is of course the relics of the seven consciousnesses.

"Announce to all places that any foreign missionaries found will be killed. The Western Regions will also be affected at the same time. No one is allowed to keep any missionaries."

Through Shi Zimiao's thoughts, Cao Cao also learned about several of their gathering places in Shenzhou.

If we use other methods to explore, it may be quite troublesome to find these places one by one, and it may be difficult to clean them up even after many years.

But after arresting Shi Zimi, investigating from top to bottom became much easier.

With this information, we can catch all the Buddhists active in the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

Cao Cao turned around and said to Xu Chu:

"Zhongkang, you stay and keep Diao Chan safe. I'll go to the imperial mausoleum to take a look."

"King Wei, I also want to stay," said Jia Xu.

Cao Cao waved his hand, indicating his agreement.

He slashed in the air, and the sword energy of the Scarlet Sky Sword broke through the earth veins and cut out a pitch-black entrance out of thin air.

Cao Cao and Dian Wei jumped in one after another.

The ground then closed up without leaving any trace.

The secret path opened up by the sword energy was dark and quiet.

Ever since the fake Taoist stole the Qilin Pearl and triggered the restriction of the imperial mausoleum, Emperor Wu's tomb has been filled with inky dark aura. Entering it is like falling into the deep ocean.

Cao Cao took out a bead.

It is the Qilin Pearl.

This is one of the few artifacts in the world that can dispel darkness and illuminate the imperial tomb.

The Qilin Pearl was pushed by Cao Cao's power, like a sun rising into the sky.

The darkness receded layer by layer.

Many places in the imperial mausoleum are inlaid with gems and jades that are connected to prohibitions.

These pearls and jades reflected the light of the Qilin Pearl, and for a moment, the imperial mausoleum was as bright as twinkling stars, much brighter than before.

Inside the mausoleum, palaces are lined up one after another, like a huge city.

The Chixiao Sword transformed into a red dragon, making a soft sound.

A unicorn with majestic scales and armor ran out from the unicorn pearl.

Both of them accompanied Cao Cao.

He passed through the secret path and came directly to the alchemy room in the imperial mausoleum, which was the Hall of Longevity where the Qilin wood was located.

The Scarlet Sky Sword was originally part of the imperial mausoleum's restrictions.

When it merged with the restrictions of the mausoleum, the restrictions in the Hall of Eternal Life seemed to have disappeared and none of them appeared.

Inside the hall, the scene remained the same.

There is a bronze alchemy furnace in the middle, and the walls are filled with scrolls, Taoist books, and various alchemy furnaces.

Dian Wei sniffed his nose and said, "There is a medicinal aroma in this hall. It smells delicious."

Cao Cao rolled his eyes and said, "What the hell do you smell tastes bad?"

The Qilin wood deep inside the hall was still glowing with precious light in the darkness.

However, the Qilin that was seen last time was nowhere to be seen. It must have retreated into the sacred tree.

The little Qilin came out of the Qilin Pearl, flew to the bottom of the tree, and with its big nose, it inhaled some kind of spiritual charm from the Qilin wood into its body.

Cao Cao and his companion also came under the Qilin tree.

After entering the Mausoleum of Emperor Wu, Cao Cao sensed a special aura.

The source is this longevity tree.

This sacred tree is one of the most precious objects in the entire imperial mausoleum.

As Cao Cao got closer, he felt it was more and more special.

The patterns on its leaves are naturally formed like an array, gathering the energy of heaven and earth.

It's just a tree, but it seems to have life, absorbing the power of heaven and earth.

Cao Cao also had a feeling that it might break free from its shackles and escape from the mortal world at some point in the future.

Cao Cao tried to absorb the Qi under the tree and integrate it into himself.

Suddenly, a light and spiritual energy, filled with vitality, flowed around the body continuously.

The energy of heaven and earth is thick around this Qilin tree.

If you practice under the tree day and night, you will gain many benefits.

The entry once suggested that it could increase lifespan.

If you look at it from another perspective, this is the elixir of life that countless emperors have dreamed of.

When Cao Cao came to see it in person, he realized that the reason why Emperor Wu chose this place as his burial site was probably related to the Qilin wood.

This sacred tree has taken root here and cannot be moved.

Otherwise, it will be severely damaged and will take a hundred years to recover.

It was impossible for Cao Cao to come to Emperor Wu's tomb every day and sit under a tree to practice.

He pondered for a moment, then gathered his thoughts, turned around, walked out of the Hall of Longevity, and prepared to leave.

But before leaving, Cao Cao turned and looked in the other direction of the mausoleum.

He had just looked through the scroll left by Shi Zimiao and learned that the main hall of Emperor Wu's mausoleum could be reached from the area where the alchemy room was located.

The main hall is full of restrictions and is extremely dangerous.

But... Cao Cao thought of a loophole in the defense of Emperor Wu's tomb.

Perhaps it was not an oversight, but a glimmer of opportunity that Emperor Wu deliberately left for the descendants of the Liu family.

Cao Cao glanced at Chi Xiao.

People cannot enter the main hall of the imperial mausoleum, not even Chi Xiao.

But Chi Xiao himself can come and go freely in any area of ​​the Imperial Mausoleum.

Chi Xiao was pushed by Cao Cao and did not resist, and disappeared suddenly.

In the main hall of the imperial mausoleum, Chi Xiao flew in with sword energy swirling.

A place on the outer wall of the huge bronze coffin that was as big as a mountain was swept by the sword energy, and it seemed that something had fallen off.

Immediately, the sword energy returned and fell into Cao Cao's hands.

Dian Wei took a look, but couldn't see clearly what the sword energy brought back.

Cao Cao: "Get out first, let's go."

Chi Xiao waved his hand and cut out a secret path to the mausoleum again.

Two people entered, one in front and one behind.
