MTL - Cultivating Immortals: I Can Save the Price-Chapter 567 Heaven is really behind the scenes (2 in 1)
Chapter 567 Heaven is really behind the scenes (two in one)
The tall and strong man stood in front of the dark burrow. From the nearby thorns, it can be seen that this place is actually extremely hidden.
The brawny man was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, his exposed skin was covered with abscesses, and yellow-green liquid was continuously flowing out, causing the vegetation to wither one after another.
He squinted his eyes, and the abscess oozes out a strong poisonous gas, blowing into the depths of the ground with the mountain wind, echoing bursts of soul-stirring sounds.
After a while, he didn't go into it until the cave became completely silent.
While the strong man was walking, herpes appeared on his skin again, his expression became more ferocious, and his eyes were full of indescribable greed.
Not long after he walked, more than a dozen twisted and struggling corpses appeared in front of him.
The expression of the corpse was desperate, and the limbs were wormed to varying degrees. Before dying, they stared at the hole not far away, clearly wanting to escape.
Unfortunately, under the action of the pervasive poisonous gas, the internal organs have long been exhausted and necrotic.
The cultivator named "Blood Duzi" has been in the surface world of Jingzhou for several years, and many monks have vaguely heard of his reputation.
However, he does not belong to any force, but one of the few casual cultivators.
Blood Duzi came to Jingzhou, not intending to gain opportunities at all, but just wanting to earn some resources from the cracks of various forces.
After he leaned over to inspect the corpse, he roughly tore off the limbs with insect characteristics, and put them in the magic weapon for storage.
"Tsk tsk tsk, human worms are really moving veins, even low-level human worms are a rare wealth."
It is not difficult to exchange for a large amount of resources with the Gu insect limbs he just collected.
The various forces have been in Jingzhou for a long time, and found that if they want to ascend from the surface world to the inner world, they must use Gu insects as a medium, and even the deep world is closely related.
They created a way to sacrifice the blood of Gu worms, and then obtained the key to ascension with the help of magic weapons.
The conditions for ascension do not seem to be difficult, but most of the Gu worms in the surface world are only in the half-corpse state, and the Gu worms in the ghost-envoy state are already rare.
If you cultivate Gu worms by yourself, you must spend a lot of energy and thankless work. It is easiest to use ready-made Gu worms.
Because of the special physique of human worms, their organs will be closely integrated with Gu worms, which is very suitable as a medium for ascension.
As a result, all forces are hunting humans and insects openly and secretly.
A few days ago, there was no change in Jingzhou. Under the temptation of Feisheng, tens of thousands of monks participated in the encirclement and suppression of human insects.
As long as the entrance of the cave is filled with piles of broken corpses, all Gu worms will be dug out.
Thus was born Bleeding Duzi, a casual cultivator who specializes in hunting humans and insects.
If it wasn't for the labyrinth-like underground passages dug out by humans and insects, and the resources provided by Daoist Gu, I'm afraid they would have been wiped out long ago.
Now the situation is slightly different. Most of the forces have ascended to the inner world, and some Taiyin Star Lords who are afraid of changes have chosen to withdraw from Jingzhou one after another, which makes the living space of humans and insects much better.
Xue Duzi grabbed some flesh and blood, stuffed them whole into his mouth and chewed.
When he was about to leave the burrow, he suddenly noticed a crack in the stone wall not far away, which could just pass through the figure of an ordinary human insect.
"Hey Hey…"
Xue Duzi let out a strange laugh. It seems that before the death of the human worm, he did not close the entrance and exit to the residence in time, and there must be something else inside.
Maybe it’s the lair of human bugs…
He restrained the abscess on the surface of the skin, and then sneaked into the crack, a deep and narrow passage came into view.
Xue Duzi walked briskly excitedly, and his breathing also became short of breath.
He didn't notice at all that there were a few small black snakes as thick as thumbs, following him from the shadows.
Tunnels extend in all directions, and there are a lot of forks and dead ends.
But Xue Duzi, relying on his sensitivity to smells, could smell the unique earthy smell of insects.
Turning east and west for a few hours, a spacious cave appeared in front of him, and he could see a dozen simple houses made of thatched grass.
There are nearly ten thousand people and worms living in the cave. They haven't noticed the blood poisoner at first, and they are still talking about it with a relaxed expression.
The open space in the village is planted with a large area of fungi emitting dim light, surrounded by humans and insects.
"Hahaha, I got rich."
Xue Duzi laughed unscrupulously, and countless fist-sized blisters appeared on his skin, gestating unimaginable poisonous water.
"When I kill all of you, I will almost quit Jingzhou."
"Dare!"
Heavy drinking came, and the middle-aged man with gray temples went towards the blood poisoner.
He is Gu Daoist, but due to the resurrection of the worm warrior, his lifespan is only twenty years, so he has already entered middle and old age.
After several years of training, Daoist Gu has dissipated a lot of hostility in his heart, but his desire to become an immortal and attain the Tao has become more intense.
He understands that as long as he ascends to the inner world, the short lifespan can be deepened, but Daoist Gu also has his own considerations.
From the uncomplicated ecological environment in the cave, it can be seen that he used the mushroom resources produced by humans and insects to continuously obtain a large number of resources in Dream City.
This is also the reason Gu Daoist didn't think about leaving the surface world.
It is unrealistic to lead thousands of human worms out of trouble together, soaring to the inner world alone, and there is no human worm to help him cultivate resources.
No matter what you do, it's a lose-lose, so it's better to maintain the status quo.
Master Gu immediately stopped when he saw that Xue Duzi was going to touch the worm.
His right arm suddenly swelled, forming a deformed and bloated elephant foot in just a moment, revealing the aura of a bad situation.
Seeing this, Xue Duzi smiled instead of anger, and said jokingly: "Human bugs really are a group of fake monks who take shortcuts, even you, a big bug, seem so vain, ridiculous."
"You really should see and see the world instead of being a frog at the bottom of a well."
boom!
The elephant foot hit Xueduzi's body like a battering ram, and his flesh and blood exploded immediately, turning into an extremely thick poisonous mist.
Daoist Gu was caught off guard by inhaling a mouthful of poisonous gas, and his internal organs showed a tendency to cringe.
His expression was fierce, and he looked around and found that all the worms fell to the ground amidst screams, and would turn into corpses within a few minutes.
Gu Daoist's mind is very serious about the pros and cons, and he thinks he can't be cured, so he turns around and leaves unexpectedly.
Xue Duzi was a little startled. Could it be that the other party wasn't impulsive and didn't want revenge?
He is not going to let Gu Daoist go, the most valuable thing is the Gu worms in the poor state, which represent the threshold of the deep world.
Xueduzi's flesh and blood reunited into a whole, frantically rushing towards the opponent.
Just when the blood poison was about to envelop Daoist Gu, a strange and **** aura rose in the cave.
"who?!"
The little snake in the corner twisted continuously, flesh and blood sprouted from the scales, and instantly turned into an ordinary-looking man.
"Heavenly Plague Department."
"Han Li."
Han Li waved his hand, and a few drops of blood turned into huge boulders and smashed towards Xue Duzi, allowing Daoist Gu to take the opportunity to get out of the cave.
Xue Duzi found that Daoist Gu had escaped, his expression became more and more terrifying.
"Heaven?"
"I've heard that the Jingzhou on the third floor has been stirred up. Since you are from the Heavenly Court, the major forces must also be interested."
Xue Duzi dodged the boulder sideways, and saw that although Han Li's cultivation base was poor, his foundation was far stronger than Daoist Gu's, and he used his skills to the extreme.
Han Li didn't intend to face the enemy head-on, spreading the blood bacteria all over the cave.
Grains of blood bacteria invisible to the naked eye penetrated into the body of the unconscious human worm, absorbing all the toxins in the blink of an eye.
The blood bacteria is like a magic weapon, and it also has a mustard space of several meters, which can directly store human insects.
"What a heaven, heals the wounded and rescues the dying, right? I'm afraid I have to sacrifice my own life."
Han Li looked at Xue Duzi calmly, and when the latter was five meters away from him, his body disappeared in the same place inexplicably.
The boulder that was hit not long ago turned into Han Li.
Under the action of inertia, the boulder left the cave, leaving Xue Duzi alone.
Han Li shuttled between the mountains and rocks, and the mountain gods of the Taotie method were brought into full play.
In just a few breaths, he has come to the hole on the surface, beside him is Daoist Gu who is in a state of embarrassment.
Han Li didn't say much, and his raised right arm turned into a 100-meter mountain peak.
The sun's rays were blocked, and the clouds broke through. Only then did Master Gu understand how terrifying the real yin and yang situation is.
Boom! !
The cave collapsed, and Xue Duzi's desperate roar could be vaguely heard.
Han Li glanced at Daoist Gu lightly, and said in an unquestionable tone: "There will be forces coming soon, let's go."
"You are…"
"Heaven."
Han Li glanced at Daoist Gu, and continued to add: "The fairy city in your dream belongs to our Heavenly Court. I was appointed by the fairy to come here."
Daoist Gu trembled all over, as if there was a big hand controlling everything invisible.
Han Li continued with an elusive smile, "I will be responsible for guiding you to leave Jingzhou and go to the Immortal World."
"But before that, let's deal with the depletion of your life energy, and collect the Gu worms from the surface world by the way."
Master Gu asked uncertainly: "What is the use of Gu insects?"
"Can replace blood crystals."
Han Li said with a smile: "Master Gu, you should know what a blood crystal is, right?"
Daoist Gu can only enter and leave the Great Dream Pavilion in the Dream City. He always thought that the fairy dream was his chance, but he didn't expect to be involved with a force that seems to be able to control Jingzhou.
"Fairy world, fairy..."
The frustration in his heart was gone, and his desire to become an immortal was burning like a flame.
"Can I join the Heavenly Court?"
"It depends on your performance. There is an immortal in Heaven who is proficient in Gu art. If you show your worth, I can recommend you to him."
While speaking, Han Li instilled part of the memory of the Jail Hall into Daoist Gu.
According to what Ren Qing said, in the future, the Hall of Immortals will be called the Heavenly Court to the outside world, and it is very likely that the six branches will be subdivided into the Immortal Department.
Master Gu lowered his head, digesting useful information.
With a mind like his, as long as there is a path to climb up, he can do whatever it takes.
In a sense, Gu Daoist is very much like the group of monks with the most senior experience in the Jail Hall, who even sell their own organs for profit.
Han Li successfully connected with Daoist Gu, his task is not difficult, after all, the latter is only in the bad realm.
But Tang Sheng was in a bit of trouble. You must know that the Buddha can walk everywhere in the sky, and the Zhu Taoist also has the strength of the sky.
Although he has already reached the level of Rongyin God in Yin and Yang, even compared to Han Li, he still belongs to the top few people in the new generation in the Jail Hall.
However, the distance between the Yin Difference Realm and the Heavenly Paradox Realm is completely heaven and earth.
When Tang Sheng knew the specific content of the task, there was ten thousand resistance in his heart, and he even had the idea of giving up the task.
But after he asked Ren Qing, he felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it.
The most important thing is that Tang Sheng received Ren Qing's suggestion that the matter of the Great Buddha Heaven was involved, and the latter would secretly pay attention to it all the way.
Tang Sheng thought for a long time before agreeing, maybe he could use this to fight for a ghost job.
After he made sufficient preparations, under the influence of the Heavenly Demon Tribulation, his body and soul disappeared in the heavenly palace of the world in his stomach, and went to the Great Buddha Heaven.
At the same time, the originally chaotic Great Buddha Heaven gradually calmed down.
Even though demons from outside the territory continue to descend one after another, the Heavenly Paradise Realm chooses to hide everywhere because it is afraid of the people behind the scenes.
On the contrary, it was the Little Buddha Heaven, and many Bodhisattvas went to encircle and suppress the remnants of Lingshan Tathagata.
However, they couldn't recognize whether the Buddha believed in Lingshan Tathagata at all, resulting in extremely slow progress in clearing the rebellion.
Lingshan Tathagata is completely promoted as a demon from the outside world.
According to Zhu Taoist's guess, the purpose of the Great Buddha Heaven is mainly to stabilize the situation in the Little Buddha Heaven, so as not to affect the "Pilgrimage of Ten Thousand Buddhas".
The so-called pilgrimage to ten thousand Buddhas refers to the ritual of enlightening meritorious monks in the near future.
Of course, in the eyes of a discerning person, all the 10,000 meritorious monks are already pre-determined Dingguang Tathagata Buddha sons, involving the planning of the way of heaven.
The ten thousand Buddha pilgrimage not only gathers all the Buddhas in the Great Buddha Heaven, but even ordinary monks will participate.
Each temple has about one hundred places. According to the number of temples in the Great Buddha Temple, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of monks.
Pig Taoist naturally occupies one of the places.
Among the hundreds of monks in Futu Temple, he should be the most inconspicuous, and his low-key behavior on weekdays makes him have no sense of existence.
Taoist Zhu must have resorted to unorthodox means to get the quota.
He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of leaving the temple openly to go to the wilderness, and then use the vertical eyes on his forehead to disguise himself as a Buddha.
Try to complete the entrustment of Lingshan Tathagata before the pilgrimage to the Ten Thousand Buddhas begins.
In this way, he will undoubtedly be much more flexible. Whether it is escaping from Jingzhou or seeking opportunities, he seems to be able to do a job with ease.
Pig Daoist was thinking about how to contact the other Heavenly Paradise cultivators, trying to trick them into cooperating with him.
Suddenly, a monk at the end of the street attracted the attention of Taoist Pig.
The monk is more than two meters tall, and his muscles are as sharp as rocks. When he walks, strong winds are born, and his momentum is amazing.
What surprised Daoist Zhu the most was that the monk actually missed him by two realms.
"Ascension to the deep Jingzhou, it must be at least half a step into the deceitful realm, and why did it appear in the Great Buddha Heaven in a grand manner?"
Daoist Pig really didn't understand, and immediately felt a deep fear.
He guessed that the monk's real strength might be far beyond ordinary, and he pretended to be a low-level man, but he wanted to deceive himself to expose it.
Pig Taoist turned around calmly, and walked in the opposite direction.
He is really scared by Ren Qingzheng now, a bit like a bow and snake shadow, who knows if Lingshan Tathagata has infiltrated into the Great Buddha Heaven.
But before Taoist Pig took a few steps, the monk had already come to him.
"If you see Lingshan Tathagata."
Tang Sheng clasped his hands together and said, under the support of Ren Qing's Disaster Elimination Law, even if he speaks in a soft voice, he still cannot attract the attention of others.
Taoist Zhu looked around vigilantly, and asked hesitantly, "Why did the Tathagata find Lao Zhu?"
"Poor monk Tang Sheng."
"I will accompany you on the next ten thousand Buddha pilgrimage."
Tang Sheng tried his best to ensure peace of mind, at least not to lose the wind in the face of the strange world.
He realized that although the Great Buddha Heaven is very dangerous and full of paradoxes, it is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime treasured place for cultivation.
The vajra body mastered by Tang Sheng was originally created by Buddhist monks. The technique is faintly complemented by the Buddha's aura, and even slightly restrained.
As a result, when he was in the Great Buddha Heaven, he was stimulated by countless Buddha Qi, which imperceptibly promoted the progress of the diamond body.
【Diamond Body】
【Created by an insane old monk, cultivation needs to grind the skin with gold and iron sand until the flesh and blood of the whole body are exposed before it can be cultivated. 】
After Tang Sheng realized this, he didn't want to give up the seemingly dangerous task.
He feels that if he can stay in the Great Buddha Heaven for a few years, he can try to advance to the Yang God Realm.
Tang Sheng took a deep breath, the air is mixed with a touch of sandalwood, which can stabilize the mind, and even the demons when breaking through the bottleneck don't have to worry.
Taoist Zhu has been sizing up Tang Sheng, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels that something is wrong. The other party's aura is clearly not hidden.
"Are you the seat of Lingshan Tathagata?"
He felt that the method of Lingshan Tathagata was not difficult to create a Heavenly Deceitful Realm, so why was it so embarrassing, besides, Tang Sheng didn't have the slightest bit of Buddha spirit.
"The poor monk does believe in Buddhism, but he is not a disciple of Lingshan Tathagata. In fact, I come from the three mountains and five mountains in the heaven."
"Heaven?"
Taoist Zhu thought he heard it wrong, and his brain became confused. How did Lingshan Tathagata get involved in the Heavenly Court of the Dragon King of the Four Seas.
"Heavenly Court and Buddhist Realm are left over from ancient times."
Tang Sheng stopped speaking as soon as he reached the point, and did not continue to narrate the information about the Heavenly Court.
He followed Ren Qing's statement, and he didn't know whether it was true or not. After all, the Jail Hall only recorded a history of five or six hundred years, and the Ci family only joined in nearly a hundred years.
However, many monks in the Jail Hall firmly believe in the argument of the Heavenly Court.
You must know that the rise of the Jail Hall is too fast. When the monks in Xiangxiang looked back on the experience of these years, they all felt unrealistic and illusory.
Compared to the nouveau riche of the Jail Hall, wealth depends on luck, and they are more willing to believe that their ancestors were once rich.
Pig Taoist took a deep breath, suddenly aware of the horror in the heavenly court.
At the same time, Taoism and Buddhism are involved, and there are at least three of them in the celestial paradox on the surface, which is already comparable to a worm's nest with four mistresses.
Zhu Taoist noticed that Tang Sheng's spells were different from the Buddha's energy, and immediately realized that he probably came to the Great Buddha Heaven to practice, and as an eyeliner beside him.
He was a little aggrieved, but he could only admit it.
"Master Tang Sheng, you can stay in the temple for the time being, and then I will arrange for you to go on a pilgrimage to the Ten Thousand Buddhas."
"It's not just me, there should be a monk from the Heavenly Court who will come to the Great Buddha Heaven."
"Who?"
Taoist Zhu's expression became more and more uncomfortable. It is still unknown what happened to the Ten Thousand Buddhas' pilgrimage, but he already feels tied up.
"Ministry of Plague, and Plague Taoists."
...
When Ren Qing found Taoist Mu Snake in the underworld, the latter was using a bamboo pole-shaped magic weapon to fish for corpses in the rushing Yellow Spring.
Taoist Mu Snake has long been accustomed to being a ferryman from the underworld.
He no longer cared about the banned cultivation, devoted himself to the ferry, and stayed by the underworld day and night.
Because Taoist Mu Snake noticed that as long as he keeps staring at Huang Quan, he can occasionally recall vague memories of his life.
He knew that Taoist Mu Snake once created spells before he was alive, and his talent was outstanding.
If the lost memory can be inherited, Taoist Mu Snake is confident that he can restore his cultivation, even if it goes a step further, it will not be difficult.
Taoist Mu Snake was a little lost in thought, and as a result, the Yin Qi in his body quickly overflowed.
He didn't feel the slightest joy, and quickly looked around, and sure enough, he saw Ren Qing standing still on the top of the grave mound not far away.
"Long time no see, Taoist Mu Snake."
"Yes…"
Taoist Mu Snake let out a wry smile, one year in the outside world, nearly ten years in the world in his stomach, unknowingly he has been a ferryman for dozens of years.
"Have you ever thought about leaving the underworld?"
"Just let me go."
Taoist Mu Snake looks like he has been smoothed by life. Even though his cultivation level has returned to the Heavenly Paradise, he still looks like a skinny ferryman.
Ren Qing said to himself: "You have created two techniques before your death, one is called Snake Slough Method, and the other is Ba Snake Fu."
"There is also the snake spine that you have been thinking about, I can also provide you."
Taoist Mu Snake didn't know what to say, it was true that the ambition in his heart was aroused by Ren Qing's simple words.
"One spine not enough?"
Ren Qing stretched out his finger to the rushing Yellow Spring, and there was the sound of bones colliding at the source.
Not long after, densely packed dragon spines surged along the water, and the breath from dragons made the soul in Taoist Mu Snake's skull jump uncontrollably.
Musake Taoist subconsciously took a step forward, but the dragon's spine disappeared again in a trance.
Ren Qing clicked between the eyebrows of Taoist Mu Snake, and directly pulled his consciousness into the dream city, and came to the bulletin place where the monks streamed continuously.
Taoist Mu Snake came back to his senses, and immediately realized that he was able to enter and leave the dream city.
As long as you have blood crystals, you can exchange for various resources, including the spine of a real dragon, but the price is expensive.
Taoist Mu Snake looked at the tasks on the notice, and most of them had conditions for acceptance.
There is only one going out mission, which not only rewards a large number of blood crystals, but also can be accepted even if you are not a member of the Jail Hall.
Taoist Mu Snake smiled wryly. It was obvious that when Ren Qing contacted him, he had considered all aspects and could not refuse.
He tossed off the paper that recorded the task, and put it away after a few glances.
Before Taoist Mu Snake could react, Ren Qing used the Heavenly Demon Seizing House and sent his body and soul directly to the Great Buddha Heaven.
Under the watchful eyes of Daoist Zhu and Tang Sheng, the little snake in the corner shed its flesh, its spine continued to proliferate, and finally turned into a skeleton.
"You are…"
Taoist Pig is facing a big enemy, this monk is definitely not weaker than him.
Taoist Mu Snake took out a straw hat from the storage bag and put it on.
He first felt that the water in the Great Buddha Heaven was extremely deep, and there were at least five Heavenly Paradise monks in a radius of hundreds of miles, and most of them were Buddhists.
Secondly, Taoist Mu Snake also noticed that there was a familiar Yin Qi also in the Great Buddha Heaven.
"Ms. Bones? It's quite lively."
Musake Taoist raised his head, looked directly at Zhu Taoist and said, "Heavenly Plague Department."
"And Plague Taoist."
