Chapter 619: Supreme Roots (2)
Dajue Temple, a pagoda dedicated to Monk Yuanjue.
Lu Yi had just offered incense to the statue of Monk Yuanjue and then sat cross-legged on a cushion. In front of him were a group of great monks including Jie Yin Tou Tuo. Each of them had a solemn expression and, like Lu Yi, drooped their eyelids and fiddled with the Buddhist beads in their hands.
Lu Yi's right arm was completely covered by a metal arm guard.
The arm guard is well made, with a carved image of an angry Arhat subduing a dragon. The Arhat is fierce and domineering, and the dragon he grabbed by the head and stepped on is ferocious and vicious, with its long body wrapped around the arm guard, and every scale is lifelike. The whole arm guard is dark gold in color, and its quality is considered to be a tenth-level acquired spiritual treasure of the other shore realm, with strong defense and lethality.
No matter what magic Lu Yi used, he could not hide the golden finger. It was shining brightly and had a mysterious aura. Anyone could see that the golden finger was abnormal. Therefore, Lu Yi could only temporarily refine an arm guard to cover his entire arm.
Lu Fu’s weapon-refining skills...are simply terrible!
He spent a lot of rare materials, but the arm guard he made was only mediocre and not even close to being a spiritual treasure.
Therefore, he plucked a handful of wool from the cave of the World's Origin, forcefully infused the arm guard with his innate essence, and forcibly nurtured it into a powerful weapon of the tenth level of the Other Shore Realm. Only then did he return to Dajue Temple with great satisfaction.
This trip lasted for several years. Lu Yi exchanged a few words with a group of old monks. The Moonlight Monk, who had cultivated to the Illuminating Void Realm, stood in the middle. In front of him was a golden light, showing the entire geographical map of Yuanlingtian.
"Abbot, this is the current situation in Yuanlingtian." The Moonlight Monk gestured at the golden light, constantly calling up various images and explaining the current situation in Yuanlingtian.
There was no movement from the Changsheng Sect. In the past few years, Lu Yu was busy refining the Blood God Son.
Before, at the gate of the Black Water Secret Alliance, a lightning bead from the upper realm from Wanxiang wiped out 99% of Lu Yu’s Blood God Sons. Of the hundreds of millions of Blood God Sons, only more than a thousand remained.
The Blood God Son is the highest magical power of the devil. The cultivation of each Blood God Son is certainly important, but the number of Blood God Sons is also a powerful weapon. The overwhelming Blood God Sons swarming in, the pressure is much stronger than just a thousand Blood God Sons.
Therefore, Lu Yu has been busy with this matter for the past two years, and the Changsheng Sect has been resting and recuperating peacefully.
Dajue Temple is needless to say, it is booming and thriving. In the territory of Dajue Temple, the organizational structure of the vassal Xian Dynasty and the national dynasty has almost collapsed in the past few years, and the local government has lost all power. In its place, there are extremely strict organizational structures and temples with extremely strict upper and lower classes. The big monks and small monks control everything.
When in doubt, ask the master.
This has become a common phenomenon in the territory of Dajue Temple... Even when a couple fights or has family conflicts, the young monks and nuns step in to mediate. Government officials, village elders, family elders, etc., all secular powers have been replaced by Buddhist disciples.
Therefore, thousands of new temples are built on the site of Dajue Temple every day, and millions of new monks and nuns are admitted to the various branches and sub-monasteries of Dajue Temple every day.
In just a few years, the strength of Dajue Temple has expanded more than a hundred times, and the number of disciples has soared a thousand times compared to when Lu Yi went to the World Yuantai Cave!
Lu Yi was indifferent to this.
Will the surge in the number of monks and nuns bring about various social conflicts and subsequent troubles...what does it have to do with him, Lu Yi?
When he was the abbot of Dajue Temple, the power of Buddhism was naturally the stronger the better!
"In the past few years, you fellow disciples have worked hard, and so have you disciples." Lu Yi nodded seriously, "This time, I have made quite a few gains. I have condensed some innate elixirs that greatly replenish my essence from a certain blessed place."
Lu Yi threw out thousands of jade bottles, which landed in front of .
"My fellow disciples, take the Essence Spirit Pill and try to break through to the Heavenly Man Realm... We will select disciples who have made contributions and reward them. We will also cultivate more backbone forces of the Half-Step Heavenly Man Realm!"
Jie Yin Tou Tuo took the jade bottle, pulled out the stopper and sniffed it gently. Suddenly his face twitched and he was filled with ecstasy. He silently clasped his hands together and bowed to Lu Yi.
A group of old monks did the same, and felt the extremely rich innate essence in the jade bottle. Just by sniffing it, they felt a surge of magic power and a wonderful feeling of rapidly refining and transforming their souls. The old monks knew that this was a top-level treasure, an opportunity that ordinary people had never even heard of.
There are thousands of bottles here!
Good!
Lu Yi didn't take these so-called innate elixirs seriously...
This thing comes easily. It is the vast ocean of innate essence in the cave of the world's primordial embryo. Just grab a handful and you can condense an elixir. For practitioners, it is an unparalleled elixir that can transform one's body and improve one's cultivation.
But for the World Embryo... this is the leftovers of His 'amniotic fluid'...
Tsk!
"Is there any movement from the Senluo Sect?" Lu Yi threw a few jade bottles to the Moonlight Monk and asked directly.
Monk Moonlight bowed deeply, put a few jade bottles into his sleeves, and his face became quite ugly: "The spies that our sect had planted in Senluo Sect were all eliminated three months ago. Their heads were placed in front of the gates of various lower courtyards. Some new disciples were quite frightened."
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows!
The Senluo Sect and Wanxiang were forced to ascend to the upper realms. Their only celestial-level combat power was that one war puppet... Where did they get the courage to challenge the Dajue Temple head-on like this?
An idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and Lu Yi smiled: "It can't be that Wanxiang went to the upper realm and found a way to send the information down?"
Moonlight Monk clasped his hands together and exclaimed sincerely: "The abbot's wisdom is like the sea, illuminating the whole sky... Just as the abbot said, after Wanxiang ascended to the upper realm, exactly three months ago, Senluo Sect held a large-scale ancestor worship ceremony. Something from the upper realm descended, and then all the spies that our sect had planted in Senluo Sect were killed, without a single one spared!"
Lu Yu drooped his eyelids and twirled the string of magical Buddhist beads with his fingers, making the "ding-ding-dang-dang" sound non-stop.
After pondering for a long time, Lu Yi said leisurely: "We have stayed in Yuanlingtian for too long... Fellow disciples, if I let Dajue Temple unify Yuanlingtian, what do you think? When the mission is accomplished, we will ascend to the upper realm and meet the master!"
Jieyin Tou Tuo raised his eyebrows and said, "But, if our Buddhist sect unifies Yuanling Heaven, the destiny that Senior Brother mentioned before will be..."
Lu Yi waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "I am not a Buddha, but just a mortal. Since I am a mortal, how can I not make mistakes? It is a great virtue to correct mistakes... This time, I have been in seclusion for several years and have calculated carefully. I have calculated that Yuanlingtian will become a paradise for Buddhism in the future. All the creatures in Yuanlingtian are destined to be my disciples of Buddhism... This is destiny, and it will never be wrong again!"
The old monk Jie Yin Toudao and his entourage laughed so hard that his teeth almost fell out: "It is a great virtue to correct one's mistakes as soon as one knows them! Brother, you have seen through the false reputation and do not care about fame and gain. You have truly realized the true meaning of Bodhi. You will definitely be able to attain Buddhahood in the future!"
Lu Yi waved his hand and said calmly: "Eh, forget it. The fruit position and the like are just floating clouds to me... I just hope that Buddhism will prosper, save billions of lives, protect the world, and accumulate immeasurable merits... As the saying goes, just do good deeds and don't ask about the future. If you always think about merits and fruit positions in your heart, then you have fallen behind!"
Lu Yi looked at the group of old monks who were deep in thought, and naturally plagiarized another sentence: "My fellow disciples, Bodhi is not a tree, and the bright mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can dust stain it?"
A group of old monks were slightly startled and bowed down together.
Lu Yi flicked the Buddhist beads in his hand and said calmly, "So...how are those evil spirits doing now?"
There was a flash of golden light in front of the Moonlight Monk, and on the geographical map of Yuanlingtian, there was a flash of blood light rapidly.
Looking at the area covered by the blood light, it has already swallowed up the entire territory that the Black Water Secret Alliance once occupied. It is like a rampant cancer cell, with branches and tentacles, and has already invaded the territories of the two major sects nearby, Taixuan Palace and Taiyi Temple.
The Taixuan Palace and Taiyi Temple were just two of the six sects and eighteen schools that Wanxiang personally supported when he was still alive.
Moreover, the origins of these two sects are unpredictable and their inheritance is profound. The Taixuan Palace emphasizes Taoism, while the Taiyi Temple emphasizes swordsmanship. Looking at their actions, it is clear that they are the true descendants of famous families and their strength is quite powerful.
Both of these two sects had their own special demon-slaying traditions. The thunder method of Taixuan Palace and the sword formation of Taiyi Temple had a good restraining effect on those evil spirits. For several years, without the seven evil spirit leaders such as Bai Nu taking action, those evil spirits had achieved very little results in the territories of the two major sects. Only some remote areas were occupied by them, and there was not much damage to the two major sects.
Lu Yi took a look at the current situation of Yuan Lingtian in the golden light and nodded.
"I understand."
"Send a message to the three religions, six sects and eighteen schools of the entire Yuanling Heaven, saying... evil is the public enemy of the world, Dajue Temple is the orthodox Buddhist sect, and it is our responsibility to subdue demons and eliminate monsters. The hundreds of millions of disciples of Dajue Temple cannot coexist with evil !"
"Of course, the Senluo Sect is an accomplice of the evil demon. When my Dajue Temple was mobilizing troops to fight the evil demon to the death, the Senluo Sect brazenly killed my Buddhist disciples. Their actions and their hearts are exactly like those of the evil demons!"
Jieyin Tou Tuo coughed lightly and said, "Brother, the Senluo Sect did not kill any of my disciples from Dajue Temple."
Lu Yi flicked his Buddhist beads lightly and said calmly, "Aren't the spies we planted in Senluo Sect disciples of Dajue Temple? Buddhism is vast and can save all kind-hearted people. As long as you recite the true name of Master Yuanjue, the Great Lion Power Bodhisattva, the master of Dajue Temple, you will be a disciple of our Buddhism and be protected by our Buddhism!"
Lu Yu looked at Jie Yin Tou Tuo and said softly, "Announce to the world, all living beings in the world who recite the Dharma name of Master Yuan Jue are disciples of my Dajue Temple... Heaven cannot harm them; Earth cannot invade them; worldly laws cannot govern them; human ethics cannot restrain them... If the Senluo Sect kills them, they will kill the disciples of my Dajue Temple! They are the evil demons and heretics, and they are Bai Nu's accomplices!"
Blinking his eyes, Lu Yi pointed at the Moonlight Monk and said, "Go find Bai Nu and tell her that as long as she admits that the Senluo Sect is their accomplice and spreads the word, our Dajue Temple will join forces with them to destroy the Senluo Sect!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the old monk Jie Yin Toudao, whose hearts were as black as ink, almost vomited blood!
