Chapter 659: Lord of Qionghua Mountain (5)
Lu Yi didn't know how big Mount Qionghua and Liuxia River were, nor did he know what these mountains and rivers meant.
The Divine Eagle Monk took out an 18-story exquisite four-sided pagoda. The body of the pagoda was slender and well-proportioned, white and moist in color, as if it was carved from ivory. The three-foot-six-inch-high pagoda was suspended in the palm of the Divine Eagle Monk. The boundless immortal spirits from all directions gathered towards the pagoda like crazy.
The main hall began to shake, and clouds and winds surged within a thousand miles around Dajue Temple. Countless immortal spirits continued to gather towards the main hall of Dajue Temple.
The suction emitted by the pagoda became stronger and stronger. With every breath, the total amount of immortal energy flowing into the pagoda increased tenfold.
As the immortal energy poured in faster and faster, the entire main hall burst into dazzling light.
Every pillar, every roof beam, every brick and tile, and even the image of the Prison-Suppressing Buddha enshrined in the main hall, all emitted heavy, solid and thick black gold-colored Buddha light.
Even so, the hall was still shaking and trembling.
The power of this pagoda is extremely strong. The main hall of Dajue Temple can be considered a good Buddhist treasure, but it still cannot completely eliminate the power leaked by this pagoda - you know, Monk Shenjiu only took out the pagoda and has not actively activated its power!
Monk Yuanjue opened his eyes slightly, and a dark golden light flashed in his pupils.
Lu Yi immediately understood that this exquisite four-sided eighteen-story tower must be a good thing!
"Are you willing to give it up?" Monk Yuanjue looked at Monk Shenjiu with a serious expression.
"It was built for him." Monk Shenjiu smiled at Monk Yuanjue and said, "When my disciple was still cultivating in the lower world, I had already designated him as the true disciple of my lineage. Therefore, a thousand years in advance, I gathered all the resources of the Great Secret Golden Wheel Temple to build this 'Golden Wheel Dragon Elephant Hidden Treasure Pagoda' just for him."
"Concentrate the power of incense and fire, gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the eighteen-story secret tower, each layer is a new heaven, you can temper the golden body and make great progress." The monk Shenjiu narrowed his eyes and stared at the monk Yuanjue: "It can also be reborn, and create magical effects... Even if a mortal body enters, it can be forged into a diamond body within ten days!"
Lu Yu's eyebrows suddenly raised.
This time, the treasure ship brought too many people aboard.
Lu Xiu, Lu Yu, the three girls Qing You, the monk Shen Zui, Jie Yin Tou Tuo, etc. Including Lu Yu's trusted followers Ah Hu, Yu Dian Hu and others... And the nearly 1,000 Lu clan members...
Including those Buddhist monks from Jishengtian who are so devout that they are in a state of madness.
As well as many extremely steadfast Buddhist disciples who once existed in Mahakala, Yuan Lingtian.
In addition to these people, there are many, many more backbones and core members of various sects who were regarded as unstable factors by Lu Yi in order to unify the Yuanlingtian cultivation world. They were forced to board the treasure ship to ascend together.
A treasure ship brings millions of monks along for the ride!
To be honest, Dajue Temple is not a charity hall.
The merit pools of various grades are also the resources accumulated bit by bit by Dajue Temple. These resources are prepared for those who practice Buddhist skills diligently in the lower world, rely on their true strength to break through the sky and ascend to heaven, and seriously worship Dajue Temple to learn the true Buddhism.
Those who came here by hitchhiking... can they also be considered as true Buddhist practitioners?
Therefore, during the twelve years that Lu Yu was lying in the Merit Pool, the only ones who could truly obtain resources from the Dajue Temple and enter the Merit Pool to condense the status of a true immortal were the most important group of people around Lu Yu, as well as the monk Shenzui and Jieying Toudao, who were true Buddhist disciples whose own cultivation had reached the realm of heaven and man!
As for the others, including the nearly one thousand members of the Lu family who were deliberately promoted by Lu Yi, they have low levels of cultivation and know nothing about Buddhism. If you throw them into the merit pool, what can they achieve other than filling their bellies with merit pool water and making them roll their eyes?
But in Lu Yi's plan, he wants to gain a foothold in the upper realm, and he can't do it alone!
There are nearly a thousand members of the Lu family, and each of them wants to become a true immortal!
Not to mention, there are countless guardian Taoist monks in his small Vajra Mount Sumeru... These Taoist monks have followed Lu Yu for so many years, so Lu Yu should also give them a future, right?
For the Snow Cliff Monk, this Golden Wheel Dragon Elephant Hidden Pagoda might be a Buddhist treasure that would assist him in his practice and enhance his gonghou foundation. But for Lu Yi, who had a large family, a large business, and many followers, this was the best way to solve his imminent problem.
Just think about it, if we throw all the Taoist monks in the Little Vajra Mount Sumeru into this secret tower and let them roll around, without even talking about the question of their true immortal status, we can first condense a true Vajra body for them... wouldn't it be wonderful!
In Lu Yi's eyes, wisps of dark golden light flickered as he stared straight at the pagoda.
The Divine Eagle Monk took one look at Lu Yi and smiled.
Monk Yuanjue said slowly: "A small tower...is not enough!"
The Divine Eagle Monk frowned and said, "I see that Junior Brother Fahai seems to like this secret tower very much!"
The Snow Cliff Monk raised his head and snorted softly at Lu Yi - although he was a great monk in the Buddhist sect, the Snow Cliff Monk followed the path of physical cultivation, with abundant blood and essence, and superb combat power. Therefore, he had a strong and violent personality and was never a good-tempered person!
Monk Yuanjue smiled and shook his head: "What does this have to do with Fahai? The Buddhist and Taoist deeds of Qionghua Mountain and Liuxia River are in my hands... So, I thought your bet was not enough, your bet is not enough!"
The eyelids of the Condor Monk drooped.
After a moment of silence, the monk Shenjiu said softly, "Brother, you are trying to seize Qionghua Mountain and Liuxia River. Isn't that a place to prepare for nephew Fahai?"
Monk Yuanjue looked at Monk Shenjiu in surprise: "What nonsense are you talking about? How should I place my disciples? This is the business of Dajue Temple... Perhaps, I actually want to arrange for Fahai to be in charge of Chunyang Ridge next to Dahuanxiyuan?"
Monk Yuanjue's words became more and more frivolous: "Dahuanxiyuan never allows people to stay overnight. On Chunyang Mountain, there is a branch of Dajue Temple. The only advantage is that the land is large enough. There are 8,000 Zen temples built there, which can accommodate more than 100,000 monks... Just by operating an inn and collecting room fees, we make a lot of money every year!"
The face of the Divine Eagle Monk turned paler and paler, becoming paler and paler as if it were ten thousand year old black ice, and cold air was spewing out of every pore.
Lu Yi looked at Monk Yuanjue with surprise and admiration.
It seems that Dajue Temple is still doing this kind of business?
As for the Dahuanxiyuan, you can tell its origin as soon as you hear it. Buddhism also has a lineage of happiness, so it's nothing special. But Dahuanxiyuan doesn't allow people to stay, and Dajue Temple has built 8,000 Zen temples on the next hill... What a coquettish operation!
Lu Yu felt a little confused.
He wants to take a good look at the mess involved.
The Divine Eagle Monk laughed dryly: "Brother, please don't joke. Junior Brother Fahai is your true disciple of Buddhism. This news has spread to most of the Buddhist community. You are sending your own true disciple of Buddhism to be the innkeeper. This is simply a waste of talent. How can this be justified!"
He said confidently: "Qionghua Mountain and Liuxia River are the dojo you prepared for him!"
Monk Yuanjue also responded to his seriousness. He said to Monk Shenjiu in all seriousness: "So, how can a secret tower be enough for a bet? Shenjiu, you always want to take advantage of me, but this time, you can't fool me!"
The monk Shenjiu sighed: "The Great Snow Mountain... is very hard!"
Monk Yuanjue raised his head, looked at the roof of the hall surrounded by halo, and said slowly: "Look at your disciples, each of them has a strong body and a greasy face. How can you explain this hardship?"
He also took out a string of Buddhist beads, pinched them between his fingers and played with them gently, and said quietly: "Or, please go back. You only know that I brought the Taoist and Buddhist deeds of Qionghua Mountain and Liuxia River, but you don't know how many favors I spent for these deeds? Shocking..."
Monk Yuanjue waved his sleeves and showed an attitude of 'serving tea to see off the guests'... Er, that's not right. After Monk Shenjiu and his party entered Dajue Temple, Monk Yuanjue didn't have anyone serve them a cup of tea. It can't really be said to be serving tea to see off the guests.
The Divine Eagle Monk blinked his eyes, sighed, and remained silent for a long, long time. Finally, he fumbled around and took out a white jade bowl from his sleeve. The bowl was filled with tiny grains of sand that were the size of millet grains and sparkled brightly.
These tiny grains of sand "quietly" piled up in the white jade bowl, yet gave people a feeling of "lightness and vagueness", as if they might "turn into a rainbow and escape" at any time.
But if you stare at them for a long time, you will feel that each grain of sand is like a bottomless abyss.
It is heavy, deep, and full of inexplicable gravity, which is trying to absorb your soul, body, blood... everything, and consume it all, completely obliterating it.
Monk Yuanjue's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he quickly regained his composure.
He sighed, "Good stuff, but unfortunately, it's not pure enough!"
The face of the Divine Eagle Monk turned slightly red. He said angrily, "Not pure enough? Yuanjue, in this world, this Nine Abyss Meteorite Divine Sand with a trace of innate energy is already a supreme treasure... You want a pure and truly innate thing... Do you think you are... Are you... the Buddha?"
The Divine Eagle Monk placed the white jade bowl heavily in front of him, and then thrust the secret tower in front of him, and said sternly: "This secret tower that consumed the Great Secret Golden Wheel Temple's thousand years of savings and hard work, plus this bowl of Nine Abyss Meteorite Divine Sand that is enough to forge the Buddha's natal treasure, is betting your Qionghua Mountain and Liuxia River, do you want to bet or not?"
The monk flicked the white jade bowl with his fingers, making a dull 'dong dong' sound. He showed a hint of pride, "The power of the prison that your prison lineage cultivates is the most compatible with the Nine Abyss Meteorite Divine Sand... Yuanjue, with such a valuable treasure in front of you, aren't you tempted?"
Monk Yuanjue blinked his eyes, looked at the smug divine eagle, and shook his head gently: "You don't have the ability to collect so much Nine Abyss Meteorite Divine Sand. This is given to you by the Dragon Elephant Treasure Buddha, right?"
Monk Yuanjue pointed with his right hand, and with a loud 'dong' sound, a black bronze bell that was a hundred feet high smashed heavily on the square outside the main hall.
Monk Yuanjue said leisurely: "I will add one more thing. If you dare to accept it, then... let's bet!"
The Divine Eagle Monk stared at the bronze bell for a long time, and then he said word by word: "My fellow disciples, you all have great magical powers, and you all know it well... I bet on Qionghua Mountain and Liuxia River, and asked my disciple, the Snow Cliff Monk, to do it!"
Monk Yuanjue narrowed his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and nodded in agreement: "Of course, my disciple Fahai is also the one who took action here. Do you dare to raise the stakes?"
