This Is Exactly How Cultivation Works

Chapter 649: Lu Bei, Lu Dong

Views:

The sky is clear and the vast ocean is endless, with light and dark blue meeting in the distant sky.

In the easternmost part of Xiong Chu, the Sharp Sword Mountain Range pierces the sea directly, cutting through the waves unstoppably, as if it will not stop until it cuts the sea in two.

Broken Waves Mountain.

The mountain range extends straight out of the land, hence the name Broken Waves.

The sea breeze is blowing gently, the green shadows of the mountains are dancing in the wind, tall city walls are erected all around, the mountain protection formation is connected end to end, and large pavilions are hidden.

Zhan Hai Pavilion.

Zhanhai Pavilion is a mountain gate for cultivating immortals in the easternmost part of Xiongchu. Since its establishment, the sect leaders who have inherited the throne from generation to generation have all been descendants of the Gu family.

But Zhanhai Pavilion is not Huangji Sect. Its scale and influence in Xiongchu cannot be compared with Huangji Sect. The national conditions of the two countries are different, and Xiongchu does not need a Huangji Sect to manage the immortal forces within its territory.

Directly infiltrate one's own people, use the throne and resources as leverage, and it will only take three to five generations to dye a mountain gate with the color of the ancient family.

It is not so easy to shape it into your own shape, and you need to increase your efforts.

For example, Xuantian Temple. After a thousand years of attack, the progress bar has hardly moved. Not to mention changing its shape, you can't even enter the monks' meditation rooms.

Until this generation of princes, a natural born Buddhist son named Gu Zongchen was born. The abbot of Xuantian Temple regarded him as a treasure and accepted him as his personal disciple, teaching him the supreme Buddhist Dharma - the "Only I Am the Supreme Sutra".

Jianren Peak, Mingyue Tower.

A white-robed monk sits cross-legged on the roof tiles, with a peaceful Buddhist halo surrounding him, facing the sea, with the shadow of a golden wheel behind him.

He had an elegant and handsome face, with a red lotus pattern between his eyebrows, red lips and white teeth. He was a pretty-faced monk who could make female Bodhisattvas unable to close their legs at the mere sight of him.

Ancient Zongchen.

"Monk, you said you have no worldly desires, so why did you rush to the coast of the East China Sea as soon as your family said something?" Thick black fog emerged from the golden wheel and transformed into a hideous ghost face, laughing arrogantly in Gu Zongchen's ear.

The demons from outside the domain are bewitching and spreading evil words. If they were ordinary Buddhists, they would have become demons with a layer of gold paint on the outside but as dark as they could be on the inside.

But for Gu Zongchen, disturbing the Buddha's heart with the devil is also a form of practice. And because he practiced day and night, he had long been accustomed to the extraterritorial demon named Lu Dong.

My mood is calm, even a little bored.

That's it, do you have any other ideas

Gu Zongchen didn't use any professional terms about saving lives, and said bluntly: "I am a monk. I let go, but I haven't forgotten. I am not a cold-blooded beast. This is related to blood relatives and friends, so how can I not come."

Recently, the relationship between the Buddhist monk and the demon has become a little strained, and they are not as in love and want to kill each other as before.

There was a person in the middle, Lu Bei, the leader of the Tianjian Sect.

The reason is that Gu Zongchen has always believed that the extraterritorial demon is a test for him, and Lu Dong came for him.

Lu Dong was dismissive and kept saying that his only target was Lu Bei. Gu Zongchen just happened to show up at the right time and it was an accident. It didn't matter whether he showed up or not. The extraterritorial demon only had Lu Bei in his eyes.

Go to Wu Zhou and kill Lu Bei!

The relationship became strained and the interactions decreased. Lu Dong no longer took the initiative to attack, as he was thinking about taking away Gu Zongchen's body. Gu Zongchen no longer chanted sutras for Lu Dong, but just sat in meditation with his eyes closed.

"Monk, I heard you mention before that your family's blood curse might be related to the extraterritorial demon. In other words, we will encounter extraterritorial demons on this trip to the East China Sea. Did you lie to the demons?"

"It's just a possibility. As time goes by, I am not aware of the various hidden details, and I have never made a special trip to ask." Gu Zongchen replied truthfully. On this trip, he was just a thug, and he would take action wherever he was needed.

"It would be better if there was one."

"If there really is a demon from outside the realm, what should the donor do?"

“Eat it!”

"Buddha has mercy on me."

“Hehehehe—”

On the east side of Duanlang Mountain, a stone path went up from the foot of the mountain. Lu Bei followed King Yuanji to the halfway point of the mountain and soon met Gu Yuanping, the leader of Zhanhai Pavilion.

This was Lu Bei's third meeting with Gu Yuanping, but this was his first time seeing him in the guise of Heart Moon Fox. After King Yuanji introduced him, he casually said, "I've heard a lot about you."

Too much talk leads to mistakes, especially when talking in disguise. He didn't want the big guys to see any clues in the details.

The three of them headed straight for Mingyue Tower, passing by a long crystal path. King Yuanji quickened his pace and came to Gu Yuanping's side, whispering, "Where is Zong Chen? Is he still meditating in the quiet room?"

"We have arrived at Mingyue Tower."

As they talked, they paid attention to the changes in Lu Bei.

To be precise, it is the changes in Crystal Avenue.

The four of them were shining with silver light, illuminating every detail of their figures. Every stone and every brick was the famous East China Sea Divine Mirror.

Although its reputation is not as well-known as the Demon-Suppressing Stele of Dashan Temple, it is also sold far abroad and is well received by many spiritual temples in various countries.

The East China Sea Divine Mirror is a spiritual object from heaven and earth, conceived in the place where deep sea dragon veins converge. It has only one function, which is to illuminate the origin of all things.

Whether it is a human or a monster, it is difficult to hide their true nature under this mirror.

Of course, this is not absolute. If a cultivator is too powerful, he may deliberately disguise his whereabouts, and the East China Sea Divine Mirror will not be able to detect it.

The Heart Moon Fox is extremely powerful, and only one of its clones can defeat Han Miaojun, who is in the Mahayana stage. King Yuanji does not dare and does not have the ability to remove the mask to get a glimpse of the Heart Moon Fox's true appearance.

Using the East China Sea Divine Mirror can only be said to be a helpless act.

It would be best if the photo can be taken, but if not, forget it.

In the mirror, Xinyue Fox's figure had not changed much, and her gloomy facial features turned into a hazy mist. As she went deeper into the Crystal Avenue, the mist gradually dissipated, and a face slowly became clear.

King Yuanji held his breath and concentrated. The surprise came so suddenly that he didn't dare to breathe for a moment.

After three steps, the true face of Xinyue Fox under the mask was revealed.

He has narrow eyes and a thin face, a standard villain look. Not to mention that he only appears once every few thousand years, but he is the type who will definitely be killed after a few episodes.

Yuanji King: “…”

Gu Yuanping: “…”

Under Xinyuehu's gloomy fake face, there was actually an identical fake face.

In other words, this person wears two masks when he goes out.

This old monster is obviously super powerful but overly cautious.

"What kind of mirror is this? It's quite interesting. Could it be the famous East Sea Divine Mirror?"

Lu Bei spoke cheerfully. Although he had little experience in cultivation, his house was quite big. The almighty Taifu and Han Miaojun lived there. Two women, no, three women gave him advice and made many plans for him.

For example, how to conceal one's identity. As soon as Lu Bei asked the question, Han Miaojun looked up and spoke.

You need to be on guard against the East China Sea Divine Mirror.

"Xinyue Fox has good eyesight, this is exactly it."

"Add one more thing, weigh two thousand kilograms of the East Sea Divine Mirror, and I will take it away later."

"…" x2

Gu Yuanping originally wanted to say that the East China Sea Divine Mirror was a scarce strategic resource, but as she was in the crystal passage, she herself didn't believe what she said.

There is no choice but to accept it.

Fortunately, it is not a big problem. Gu Zongchen was born in Xuantian Temple and was taught by Master Zhengqing. He is very good at reasoning and will definitely be able to regain a lot of initiative for the Gu family.

Yuanxin is authentic.

As an old car owner at the grandma level, Gu Yuanping has unlimited confidence in Gu Zongchen.

Reading the Buddhist scriptures will enlighten you at first sight, and after finishing a classic, you will have laid a solid foundation.

It takes three days to form the elixir, and one month to reach the innate level.

He faced the wall in the Sutra Repository, became a spirit in half a year, realized Buddhism under the Bodhi tree, and skipped the Refining Void Stage and went straight to the Fusion Stage.

Three years to overcome the tribulation, ten years to achieve Mahayana.

The old abbot Zhengqing was so happy that his hands and feet were shaking in his dreams at night.

Later I heard that Gu Zongchen had fallen from a high realm several times. The worst time was when all his cultivation was gone and he became the same as an ordinary person. It took him one day to go from foundation building to fusion, and three days to return to the Mahayana stage. Practicing there was easier than drinking water.

What does it mean to be born a Buddha? This is what it means to be born a Buddha. Compared with him, Lu Bei seems a little stupid.

It took me two years to overcome the tribulation. My aptitude is not good enough!

"A-choo—"

Lu Dong sneezed, and the evil spirit surrounding Gu Zongchen suddenly dissipated into mist. He said suspiciously, "Something is wrong. I don't even have a physical body, but I feel a hint of coldness..."

"What kind of deity did you invite today? It has a bad omen!"

"I don't know who he is, he calls himself Xinyue Fox, and he's an old senior in the world of immortal cultivation. He holds the Seal of Immortality and is extremely important to the Gu family. We have little chance of winning by taking him by force, so we treat him with courtesy." Gu Zongchen replied with his eyes closed.

"Monk, you have fallen."

Lu Dong laughed loudly, and soon, three figures appeared in his sight from above.

The demon from outside the domain cast a curious look, ignoring the two large vehicles, and accurately captured the figure of the 'Heart Moon Fox'.

Thousands of words, but in one sentence, it doesn't sound like a good thing.

At this time, Lu Bei also sensed the demonic energy emanating from above Mingyue Tower. It was pure and mellow, with a long aftertaste. It was definitely not the energy of an ordinary demon cultivator.

Looking upwards, I saw a handsome monk in white robes sitting cross-legged in meditation, with black mist wrapping around his golden wheel. A hideous face with alternating black and red colors came into view.

Thousands of words, but in one sentence, it doesn't sound like a good thing.

What a strange guy, inexplicably...

Looks familiar! x2

Lu Bei withdrew his gaze in confusion, and at King Yuanji's invitation, he strode into Mingyue Tower.

While walking, I was thinking of the Buddhist monks on the rooftop.

Half is Buddha and half is devil, or in other words, Buddha is him and devil is also him.

Such a person is definitely not an unknown person. There is no good banquet, it was indeed a Hongmen Banquet.

Very good, Xiong Chu set up the Hongmen Banquet, and he was safe as he had followed Emperor Gaozu's script.

Got it. Let’s go kill the white snake now!

In Mingyue Tower, Lu Bei's thoughts went astray, and time spanned over two hundred years. After the Hongmen Banquet, he replaced the Son of the Plane and raised his hand to summon meteorites to fall from the sky.

On the rooftop of Mingyue Tower, Lu Dong fell into a long silence, so quiet that Gu Zongchen broke out in a cold sweat.

"Donor, why don't you say anything?"

"Lu Bei."

"Donor, I will say it again, Lu Bei is the leader of Wu Zhou Tian Jian Sect, and you are an extraterritorial demon. You have no relationship with him. Don't force it to be fate. I will not let you leave."

Gu Zongchen frowned and spoke. He had never met Lu Bei, not even once, but he didn't like this person very much.

Because his demonic tribulation was always obsessed with Lu Bei.

This is not good.

“Hehehehe—”

With a loud laugh, the demonic energy surged, and rolling black clouds overwhelmed the golden wheel, rendering it as black as ink.

Gu Zongchen's body froze, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he murmured, "Monk, you didn't let me go to Wu Zhou, but he offered himself to you. You can't blame me for that."

Boom!

The wind was still and the clouds were still, as monstrous demonic energy stirred the shores of the East China Sea, overwhelming the waves and rendering them immobile, and shocking the layers of formations on Mount Duanlang to the point that they trembled.

The pitch-black hand covered the sky, and the devil's power was rolling, wantonly distorting the void.

Above the dark sky, a pair of huge scarlet eyes suddenly opened:

"Lu Bei!!!"
