The two discussed Tao for many days, day and night, until one day the void energy shook, and Shen Lian and Tai Su Yuanjun began to shut up.
Looking at the brilliant clouds in the west and the Buddha's light filling the sky, Lord Tai Suyuan said: "There seems to be something unexpected happening in Buddhism."
As soon as Shen Lian's thoughts moved, he immediately saw the collapse of the Lingshan Mountain in the western sky, and a white lotus, which was helpless. It had already fallen a lot and showed a withered appearance. This was a sign of Maitreya's defeat.
I think that Maitreya must have communicated with the great power of the ancient Buddhas in the Great Thunder Sound Temple of Lingshan, and had previously stolen some of the principles of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It stands to reason that he can keep the foundation of Lingshan, but Chao Xiaoyu's Abi Sword Qi was really strong. It was so tight that even after Maitreya suffered this sword blow, he could not stop Ksitigarbha's determination to destroy the Lingshan Taoism.
This is also retribution for Maitreya's previous destruction of temples dedicated to Ksitigarbha in the world. It is regarded as a drink and a peck.
Ksitigarbha over there didn't kill him, but Maitreya must have been severely damaged. If he couldn't recover quickly, he might have a very difficult life in the future.
It's just that he was already injured, and his Dao foundation was damaged by Ksitigarbha. It was really more difficult to get rid of the influence of Abi Sword Qi.
For Shen Lian, it is by no means a bad thing that the Maitreya Dao foundation is damaged. Sooner or later, he will go to the Paradise of Paradise to find a Bodhi tree to use. It's just that if he goes at this time, he will take advantage of others' danger. Secondly, he has newly realized the five innate talents, so there is no need to rush for success.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Shen Lian said to Lord Tai Suyuan: "Do you have a relationship with Maitreya, fellow Taoist?"
Tai Suyuanjun said: "He is a disciple of Amitabha, and he is the future Buddha designated by the Buddha himself. He has a respected position. He has no friendship with ordinary people like me. However, I have a good friend of the poor Taoist, Old Mother Lishan, who has a close friendship with Maitreya." "
Shen Lian nodded lightly. Old Mother Lishan was also a giant of immortality. Her origins were mysterious. It was said that she was one of the incarnations of Nuwa. However, Nuwa was a detached Taoist master. There was no way that Old Mother Lishan could be the incarnation of Nuwa. One thing really shows that Lishan's mother has a very important status.
That was when Monkey went to the West to study for sutras, Guan Zizai and others set up a disaster, that is, Bodhisattva and others became the daughters of the old mother of Lishan, and deliberately seduced the four masters and disciples of Monkey.
That Guan Zizai and others were first under Yuanshi's sect and also a great Buddhist Bodhisattva, yet they were willing to call Old Mother Lishan "mother". Even though they were pretending, there were some clues.
He said: "Maitreya may ask Old Mother Lishan to come out of the mountain. If Old Mother Lishan invites you then, you'd better decline. If you don't go out of your way, you can stay safe. Once you enter the world of mortals, no one can save you."
Tai Suyuanjun thought to himself: "Shen Tianjun's words have profound meaning. If Old Mother Lishan really invites me to do something, I'd better refuse."
When her thoughts were flowing and she came back to her senses, Shen Lian had already stepped over the railing of Tianyun Pavilion with white clouds under his feet, and disappeared from Tai Su Yuanjun's sight in an instant.
This free and easy spirit of coming and going at a moment's notice made Lord Tai Suyuan have a lot of affection for Shen Lian. Although there was some quarrel between the two of them, it was nothing now.
She said to the palace master of Taisu Palace: "From now on, you will train Yang Miaoyun well. When she succeeds as the palace master, you will come to find me in Taixu. At that time, I will teach you the Taisu Form Refining Technique."
The palace master was overjoyed. She knew that the Taisu Shape Refining Technique was the fundamental method of the ancestor, and it was indeed the supreme treasure of immortality. No one in the Taisu Dao Sect had ever been taught it, but now she had such an opportunity. She was overjoyed.
In fact, she didn't know that Tai Su's Form Refining Technique was unpredictable. If she hadn't listened to Shen Lian and Tai Su Yuanjun's discussion and her mental state had greatly improved, even if Tai Su Yuanjun wanted to teach her, she wouldn't be able to teach it to her. Can't learn.
Yang Miaoyun's status in the Taisu Taoist Sect was not high, so it was difficult for her to understand the meaning of the Taisu Form Lian Jue. She just asked: "Grandmaster, what is the origin of Shen Lian just now?"
The palace owner quickly said: "How can you directly call Shen Tianjun by his name?"
Yang Miaoyun became more and more curious, and at the same time, faced with the palace master's scolding, she felt a little scared.
Lord Tai Suyuan said: "Yang Miaoyun, Shen Lian and you have a causal relationship in your previous life, so you should have great blessings in this life. In the future, you will be the leader of Tai Su Tao Sect. If any of them don't listen to you, you can take this golden Sword to teach.”
The sound of gold and iron resounded on the floor of Tianyun Pavilion. Yang Miaoyun only saw a golden sword lying flat in front of her. The text on it was simple, stroke by stroke, profound and far-reaching. Even though she had little experience, she knew that this was a rare thing. of treasure.
The Palace Master of Taisu Palace was filled with envy and quickly pulled Yang Miaoyun to thank the Patriarch.
Yang Miaoyun accepted the golden sword in confusion.
Tai Suyuanjun continued: "Shen Lian is one of the top figures in the world. You will naturally know about him when you have the opportunity in the future, but you don't have to think about meeting him anymore. That kind of person should not be you. Relatable."
Yang Miaoyun hurriedly said: "This disciple doesn't have any other thoughts, he is just curious."
Tai Suyuanjun said calmly: "In the future, you should accept all those curiosity. If he still remembers you, you will naturally have a chance to meet. If he doesn't remember, that is also a good thing." She was not threatening Yang Miaoyun, after all, Shen If you refine yourself, you will endure all calamities, but if you do something evil, the universe cannot repay you, it will always be retributive to the people close to you. Therefore, if you are not a powerful person, it is difficult to predict the future blessings and misfortunes.
Just like a mortal emperor, one word can make a person rich and powerful, but it is really hard to predict how long this wealth will last and what will happen to it in the end. Moreover, those emperors since ancient times have always been called lonely, Taoist and few, which has nothing to do with it.
After that, Yang Miaoyun didn't see Shen Lian for a long time and never mentioned it.
Shen Lian left Taisu Dao Sect and went to Huangquan Demon Sect.
Along the way, the closer we get to the Underworld Demon Sect, the more interesting discoveries we make. For example, now that he was passing by this city, people and ghosts were mixed together.
Not everyone can become a ghost after death, it requires chance.
And some people here have died and don't even know that they have become ghosts. They are still the same as before. Even their families don't know. Perhaps after decades, the appearance of those ghosts remained unchanged, which made their family suspicious.
This is related to changes in the nearby vitality. Those heaven and earth vitality are mixed with a lot of underworld energy, so that after death, people can turn their bodies into ghost bodies by chance. Because after becoming a ghost, the soul is still locked in the body of the person before death, so becoming a ghost will not be much different from before death, except for some peculiarities.
However, some of them have deep Yin Qi and have a special desire for the blood of living people. Because the Yin Qi is too heavy and corrodes the physical body, the soul will gradually be lost and the person will become irrational.
If you take masculine qi and blood, you can suppress the yin qi in the body.
But if everyone becomes such a ghost, wouldn't it mean that everyone is freed from life and death and will live forever in a different way? All these changes must be related to Ye Liuyun, and Shen Lian guessed what he wanted to do.
