Chapter 154: Immortal Creation, a White Lotus (Subscription Request)
As the night deepened, the rain got heavier.
Lu Chengfeng returned to a nearby dilapidated temple. This temple was originally built by monks from the Dachan Temple who were on a parade. After the Dachan Temple was destroyed, the monks were hunted down by all parties and the people avoided them like a tiger, so the temple became abandoned.
The temple was not big and was a bit shabby. Wind and rain blew in through the dilapidated walls. Fortunately, the eaves above the Buddha statue were still intact, providing a place for the temple to stay.
The Buddha statue holds a vajra in his left hand and makes a seal with his right hand, with an angry look on his face. He is none other than the guardian Buddha Vajra King Buddha enshrined in the Great Zen Temple.
This dilapidated temple in the wilderness seems a bit eerie and strange.
There was a pile of firewood burning in front of the Buddha statue, adding a touch of warmth to the cold night.
Wow!
The moment Lu Chengfeng opened the door, a violent storm blew in, causing the bonfire to sway in the strong wind and it was about to go out.
With a creak, the door was closed, blocking the wind and rain outside.
Lu Chengfeng turned around and looked at an old monk who was standing in front of the campfire with his back to him, and said respectfully: "Disciple greets the teacher."
The old monk was wearing a bright yellow robe and had no scars on his head. He sat cross-legged, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hands, facing the Buddha statue with his back to the door.
An old voice sounded in the room, "You don't have much time left. Xiang Qingchi will return to Youdu in seven days."
"The two kings of the north and south have risen together, and the true dragon has emerged. The unification of the world is just around the corner."
Lu Chengfeng hurriedly and calmly took off his bamboo hat and raincoat, sat down beside the fire, and then sat down next to the old monk. He smiled and said, "Teacher always tells me this, but I really don't believe it. Can anyone really control the fate of the people of the world and influence the change of dynasties?"
The old monk had his eyes closed, he was thin, his skin was sallow, and his two gray eyebrows drooped down. He naturally had the demeanor of an enlightened monk.
"It's not about controlling the fate of all people in the world, but about making it happen."
"If they throw a huge rock into the river of fate, it will naturally cause huge waves. If they throw two real dragons in, it will naturally affect all living things."
"Someone is sitting high up in the sky, looking down on the world and fiddling with the chess pieces. Whether you believe it or not, everything is happening."
Lu Chengfeng was also speechless. He had been in seclusion in the Yuncang Sword Sect for three years, completely digesting all the gifts he had received before. His accumulation and foundation had become extremely profound.
He now possesses the Five Elements Divine Light Talisman, the Eight Desolations Divine Fire Dragon Talisman, the Pure Yang True Fire Talisman, the Red Dragon Talisman, and the Cloud Light Talisman.
The spirit is perfect and flawless, and the mind and will are pure.
As early as three months ago, he was already able to condense his primordial spirit and break through the realm of heaven and man in one fell swoop.
But then he ran into this old guy.
This old monk came from nowhere and appeared quietly in the place where he was in seclusion.
Naturally, Lu Chengfeng was frightened, and he started to fight him immediately, using all his magical skills to the fullest, but the old monk did not move, making all his attacks intangible.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Chengfeng used his escape technique and turned around to leave. However, the old monk said, "Please stay, benefactor," and he was unable to move.
This person's strength is so powerful that it is unbelievable, especially in the subsequent interactions, he becomes more unfathomable.
The old monk was talking in a mysterious way, saying that he was the one he had chosen and wanted to give it a try.
When Lu Chengfeng asked the question, he spoke vaguely.
He originally wanted to break through the secret realm of heaven and man, and then find out the old guy's background, but he was persuaded by the old man.
"You have a body of magical skills and a profound foundation, but they are extremely complicated. If you break through here, you will never be able to reach the immortal realm for the rest of your life."
Lu Chengfeng was fooled on the spot, and he shamelessly asked for advice again and again, not caring whether the old monk recognized him or not, and kept calling him teacher.
The old monk only said: "I am here only to establish a cause and effect with you. You just need to take this white lotus, and I can teach you the Taoist magic power of the Nanming Lihuo Sword Sutra. You can use the Nanming Lihuo to forge a sword embryo, and after your soul has nine transformations, you can enter the immortal way."
Lu Chengfeng was skeptical, fearing that he had fallen into a trap.
The old monk did not force him, but no matter where Lu Chengfeng went, the old monk would always appear within ten miles of him.
Even after he left Liangzhou and came to Yanzhou, the old monk still haunted him.
Lu Chengfeng looked at the old man with a headache and said, "Teacher, what you said is too difficult to understand. I really don't understand it. Why don't you just speak openly?"
"No matter what, I will give you an answer today. How about that?"
He was really helpless. He couldn't beat this old guy. He couldn't get rid of him. This time when he came to Yanzhou, in addition to taking the opportunity to kill Yan Tiefeng, his main purpose was to see if he could get rid of this old guy.
Lu Chengfeng left Yuncang quietly, hiding his identity and changing his appearance along the way. He bought twelve BMWs and even crossed mountains and rivers. He did not use the Cloud Light Escape Technique, but no matter where he appeared, the old man would appear near him.
Therefore, after finishing his own business and killing Yan Tiefeng, he came to confront the old guy.
The Buddhist beads in the old monk's hand rolled slowly. After 13 beads were swung in a row, he slowly spoke, "For many things, knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing. Only when you have no fear in your heart can you find opportunities in a chaotic situation."
"But since you insist again and again, it seems that it is fate, and I can't force it." "But you will definitely suffer for it in the future."
Seeing his weird look, Lu Chengfeng had already cursed him in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. "Teacher, don't worry. I would rather be a clear-headed ghost than be manipulated by others."
The old monk shook his head and said, "The place you are in is called Chi County. It is a peninsula hanging overseas and is one of the treasured places of Shenzhou."
"A thousand years ago, the powerful Peacock King slaughtered the four dragon kings and sacrificed the five-colored divine light. This angered the powerful demons, and the two sides fought in Chi County, causing the island to collapse and split apart, completely breaking off from Shenzhou."
"Since then, Chixian has drifted on the sea and is hard to find."
"I was originally a cultivator from Shenzhou. I was stranded on this island by accident. I was attacked by someone and was seriously injured. I have only recovered in recent years."
Lu Chengfeng's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Could it be that the teacher is the legendary immortal?"
The old monk said: "You are called celestial beings, in Shenzhou, it is called the realm of Yuanshen, also known as Zhenren. After the Yuanshen has nine transformations, there is hope that you can ascend to heaven."
"The so-called immortals are those who seek the Tao."
"When the human body is deficient, one should seek outside, using the false to cultivate the true, and achieve the great way."
"In ancient times, immortals were mostly sword immortals, monks, and Taoists. They achieved enlightenment with magic weapons and flying swords, realized magical powers and Taoism, and sought immortality. People in the world called them immortals."
"I had already cultivated the Arhat Dharmakaya and attained the magical power of subduing dragons, but was ambushed by someone and fell into the fairyland. I am no longer an immortal."
Lu Chengfeng's heart started pounding when he heard this. He had already guessed about the identity of this old guy, but he didn't expect that he was actually an immortal. Even if he was an injured immortal, he was still an immortal.
He wanted to bow down immediately, but he paused for a moment and asked, "Teacher, who plotted against you? Could it be that there are still immortals in this world?"
He subconsciously thought of the immortal who had guided Princess Xiang to give birth to the immortal fetus, but he never mentioned it and just asked deliberately.
The old monk was an arhat who had attained supernatural powers. He was well aware of Lu Chengfeng's little thoughts, but he turned a blind eye to them because he could be of use to him.
"There was a fierce battle in Chi County, and the way of the Tao was cut off and the lineage of the law was lost. However, there are still three magical powers that survive in the world, namely the Five-Colored Divine Light, the Law of Heaven and Earth, and the Qianyuan Golden Cauldron."
"There were two people who plotted against me. One of them cultivated the Law of Heaven and Earth, and the other cultivated the Qianyuan Golden Tripod."
"The path to immortality is cut off in this world, and no one should be able to achieve immortality. However, when the Peacock King killed the four dragon kings, he sacrificed and cultivated his magical powers in Chi County, but a war broke out before he could achieve it, so he left behind the opportunity."
"The four dragon kings are all powerful. Even if they are killed, their dragon bodies will not be destroyed."
"Those two people seized the fortune left by the Northern Wasteland Xuanyuan Dragon Lord and the Western Wasteland Taiwu Dragon Lord, and obtained supernatural powers and ascended to the immortal position."
Lu Chengfeng listened very seriously. He had never heard of what the old monk said. Perhaps it involved the fate of becoming an immortal, so how could he not take it seriously?
"I came across the sea and was stranded on a deserted island. I was caught off guard and was ambushed by two people. I had no choice but to hide from place to place to save my life."
“But it also revealed many secrets.”
"Chi County is far away from Shenzhou. The four dragon kings are the four ways to become immortals."
The old man spoke slowly and calmly: "Two of these fortunes have already created two immortals."
"There are still two kinds of destiny left, namely the red dragon trapped in the Yuncang Sword Sect and the blue dragon pressed under the Wanxiang Pagoda."
"Those two used their magical powers to take away the destiny, but I secretly stopped them. Even though the body of the real dragon has gone through thousands of years, there is still a spirit in it. I used the secret reincarnation method of Buddhism to reincarnate the two dragon kings."
Lu Cheng almost cursed out loud, and in his heart he couldn't help but complain, "It turns out that the so-called Red Dragon Reincarnation was actually something that this old guy made up."
“The two dragon kings have reincarnated, but the good fortune contained in their dragon bodies is incomplete. Even if they are refined, it will be difficult for them to ascend to immortality.” The Buddhist beads in the old monk’s hand turned slowly, and the bonfire in front of him made crackling sounds.
"So those two must have taken advantage of the situation and helped the two dragon kings get their dragon bodies back as soon as possible. They have already made all kinds of plans, and when the time comes, they will be able to seize the good fortune."
Lu Chengfeng had already heard the general idea of the story told by the old monk, but he only believed 30% of what he said.
It would be strange to say that this old guy had no plans or calculations, but he didn't even mention it between the lines.
"I have also made some arrangements in advance. In this white lotus, there is a trace of the true spirit of the red dragon that I sealed with a secret method."
"No matter what those two people are planning, as long as their true spirits are damaged, the two reincarnated Dragon Lords will never be able to ascend to the immortal throne."
"And if you get this white lotus, you will be qualified to participate in the chess game of the world."
"If you kill the red dragon, you will be able to gain good fortune and ascend to immortality in one step."
"Of course, there are huge dangers involved."
The old monk finally opened his eyes, with a faint golden Buddha light flowing in his pupils. He looked at Lu Chengfeng and said slowly: "Do you want to take this white lotus?"
As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his left hand, and a white lotus blossomed at his fingertips.
