Chapter 567: The Heavenly Court Is Actually a Two-in-One Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Chapter 567 Heaven is really the mastermind behind the scenes (two-in-one)
A tall, strong man stood in front of a dark cave. From the thorns scattered nearby, it could be seen that this place was actually extremely hidden.
The strong man was wearing a worn-out monk's robe, and his exposed skin was covered with abscesses, which constantly leaked yellow-green liquid, causing the vegetation to wither.
He squinted his eyes, and the abscesses exuded rich poisonous gas. As the mountain wind blew into the depths of the ground, it echoed with heart-rending sounds.
After a while, until the cave became completely silent, he set out to get into it.
As the strong man walked, herpes appeared on his skin again, his expression became more ferocious, and his eyes were filled with unspeakable 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 its limbs were transformed into insects to varying degrees. Before death, it was staring at the hole not far away, clearly trying to escape.
Unfortunately, under the influence of the pervasive poisonous gas, the internal organs had already collapsed and become necrotic.
The poison cultivator is called "Blood Poison Son" and has been in the surface world of Jingzhou for several years. Many cultivators have vaguely heard of his reputation.
However, he does not belong to any force, but is one of the few casual cultivators.
Xue Duzi came to Jingzhou with no intention of gaining opportunities. He just wanted to earn some resources from the cracks between various forces.
After leaning over to examine the corpse, he roughly tore off the insect-like limbs and installed them with storage instruments.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, human bugs are really moving veins of minerals. Even low-level human bugs are a rare treasure."
It would not be difficult to exchange for a huge sum of resources with the Gu insect body parts he had just collected.
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 blood with Gu insects, and then obtained the key to ascension with the help of magic weapons.
The conditions for ascension may seem easy, but most of the Gu insects in the surface world are only in the Half-Corpse Realm, and those in the Ghost Envoy Realm are already very rare.
If you cultivate your own voodoo worms, you will definitely have to spend a lot of effort and it will be thankless. It is easiest to use ready-made voodoo worms.
Due to their special physiques, human bugs have organs that are closely integrated with the Gu bugs, making them very suitable for use as a medium for ascension.
As a result, various forces are hunting predators overtly or covertly.
Some time ago, before any changes occurred in Jingzhou, tens of thousands of monks from various forces participated in the encirclement and suppression of human insects under the temptation of ascension.
As long as the entrance to the cave is filled with piles of broken corpses, they have all been dug out.
This gave birth to rogue cultivators like the Bleeding Poison who specialized in hunting human bugs.
If it hadn't been for the maze-like underground passages dug by the human insects and the resources provided by Master Gu, they would have been wiped out long ago.
The situation is slightly different now. Most of the forces have ascended to the inner world, and some of the Taiyin Star Lords, who are afraid of any changes, have chosen to withdraw from Jingzhou one after another. This has made the living space of the human insects much better.
Xueduzi grabbed some flesh and blood, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
When he was about to leave the cave, he suddenly noticed a crack in the stone wall not far away, which could just allow the body shape of an ordinary human insect to pass through.
"Hey Hey……"
Xue Duzi let out a strange laugh. It seemed that the human insect did not close the entrance and exit to his residence in time before his death. There must be something else inside.
Maybe it's the nest of human bugs...
He converged the abscess on the surface of the skin, and then quietly got into the crack, and a deep and narrow passage came into view.
Xueduzi walked quickly in excitement, and his breathing became rapid.
He didn't notice at all that there were several small black snakes as thick as a thumb following him from the shadows.
The tunnel extends in all directions, with a large number of forks and dead ends.
However, due to its sensitivity to odors, Xueduzi can smell the unique earthy smell of insects.
After turning around for a few hours, a spacious cave appeared in front of him, and he could see more than a dozen simple houses made of thatch.
There are nearly ten thousand human insects living in the cave. They didn't notice the blood poisoner at first, and they were still talking about it with relaxed expressions.
Large areas of fungi emitting dim light are planted in the open space of the village, and humans and insects are busy around them.
"Hahaha, I'm rich."
The blood poisoner laughed unbridled, and countless fist-sized blisters appeared on his skin, containing unimaginable poisonous water.
"After I kill you all, it's almost time for me to leave Jingzhou."
"You dare!"
There was loud shouting, and the middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples walked towards Xue Duzi.
He is Master Gu, but due to the resurrection of the Insect Warrior, his life span is only twenty years, so he has entered middle and old age.
After several years of training, the hostility in Master Gu's heart has dissipated a lot, but his desire to become an immortal has become even stronger.
He understood that as long as he ascended to the inner world, his short lifespan could be deepened, but Master Gu also had his own considerations.
It can be seen from the uncomplicated ecological environment in the cave that he has used the mushroom resources produced by human insects to continuously obtain a large amount of resources in Dream City.
This is also the reason why Master Gu has not thought about leaving the surface world.
It is unrealistic to lead thousands of human insects out of trouble together. It is unrealistic to ascend to the inner world alone without human insects to help you cultivate resources.
No matter what you do, it's a lose-lose situation, and it's better to maintain the status quo.
When Master Gu saw that Xueduzi was planning to attack the human insect, he immediately took action to stop him.
His right arm suddenly swelled, forming a deformed and bloated elephant foot in just a moment, and the aura of the underworld was fully exposed.
Seeing this, Xue Duzi was not angry but laughed, and said with a joking face: "The human bugs are really a group of fake monks who take shortcuts. Even you, a big bug, look extremely vain and ridiculous."
"You should really see the world instead of just being a frog in a well."
boom!
The elephant's foot hit Xueduzi's body like a battering ram, and his flesh and blood immediately exploded, turning into an extremely rich poisonous mist.
Master Gu was caught off guard by inhaling a breath of poisonous gas, causing his internal organs to shrink.
He had a cruel expression on his face and looked around to find that all the insects were falling to the ground screaming and would turn into corpses within a few minutes.
Master Gu's character took the pros and cons very seriously, and he thought he could not be cured, so to Xue Duzi's surprise, he turned around and left.
Xue Duzi was slightly shocked. Didn't the other party have any impulse and no desire for revenge?
He is not prepared to let go of Master Gu. The most valuable thing is the Gu insect in his Yin difference realm, which represents the threshold of the deep world.
Blood Poison's flesh and blood reunited into a whole body and rushed toward the opponent crazily.
Just when the blood poisonous son was about to wrap up Master Gu, a strange and bloody aura rose in the cave.
"who?!!"
The little snake in the corner kept twisting, flesh and blood sprouted from its scales, and it instantly transformed into an ordinary-looking man.
"Heavenly Plague Department."
"Han Li."
Han Li waved his hand, and a few drops of blood turned into boulders and hit Xueduzi, allowing Master Gu to take the opportunity to get out of the cave.
When Xueduzi discovered that Master Gu had escaped, his expression became more ferocious and terrifying.
"Heaven?"
"I've heard that it caused a stir in the third level of Jingzhou. Since you come from Heaven, I think all the major forces will be interested."
Xueduzi dodged the boulder sideways and saw that although Han Li was in the Yin difference realm, his foundation was much stronger than that of Gu Zhenren, and he used his magic to its full potential.
Han Li did not intend to face the enemy head-on, so he spread the blood bacteria all over the cave.
Grains of blood bacteria invisible to the naked eye seeped into the unconscious human insect's body, absorbing all the toxins in the blink of an eye.
The blood bacteria is like a magical weapon, and it also has several meters of mustard space to directly contain the human bugs.
"It's a heavenly court. It saves lives and heals the wounded, right? I'm afraid you don't have to sacrifice your own life."
Han Li looked at Xueduzi calmly. When the latter was five meters away from him, his body disappeared inexplicably.
The boulder that was dug out not long ago turned into Han Li.
Under the influence of inertia, the boulder left the cave, leaving only Xue Duzi alone.
Han Li shuttled between mountains and rocks, and the mountain spirit of the Taotie method was brought into full play.
In just a few breaths, he had arrived at the entrance of the hole on the surface, with the embarrassed Gu Master next to him.
Han Li didn't say anything, and his raised right arm turned into a 100-meter mountain peak.
The sun's rays were blocked and a hole opened in the clouds. Only then did Master Gu understand how terrifying the real Yin difference realm was.
boom!!!
The cave collapsed, and the desperate roar of the Blood Poisoner could be vaguely heard.
Han Li glanced at Master Gu lightly and said in an unquestionable tone: "Some forces will come soon, let's go."
"Who are you……"
"Heaven."
Han Li glanced at Master Gu and continued to add: "The immortal city in your dream belongs to our heaven. I was assigned by the immortal to come here."
Master Gu's whole body was agitated, and he felt as if there was a big hand controlling everything invisibly.
Han Li continued with an elusive smile: "I am responsible for guiding you as you leave Jingzhou and go to the immortal world."
"But before that, let's deal with the depletion of your lifespan first, and collect the Gu insects in the surface world."
Master Gu asked uncertainly: "What are the uses of Gu insects?"
"Can replace blood crystals."
Han Li smiled and said: "Master Gu, you should know what a blood crystal is, right?"
Master Gu can only enter and exit the Dream City's Dameng Pavilion. He always thought that the Immortal Dream was his chance, but he didn't expect that it would involve a force that seemed to be able to control Jingzhou.
"The world of immortals, immortals..."
The frustration in his heart disappeared, and his desire to become an immortal burned like a flame.
"Can I join Heaven?"
"It depends on your performance. There is an immortal in heaven who is proficient in Gu. If you show your worth, I can recommend you to him."
As Han Li spoke, he imparted part of his memory about the Jailer Hall to Master Gu.
According to what Ren Qing said, from now on the Jailer Hall will be called Heavenly Court to the outside world, and it is very likely that the six major branches will be refined into the Immortal Department.
Master Gu lowered his head, digesting useful information.
With a mind like his, as long as there is a way to climb up, he will do whatever it takes to do so.
In a sense, Master Gu is very much like the most senior monks in the Prison Hall, who even sell their own organs for profit.
Han Li successfully connected with Master Gu. His task was not difficult, after all, the latter was only at the Yin Chai realm.
But Tang Sheng was in a bit of a dilemma. You must know that the Great Buddha can walk around in the Heavenly Creation Realm, and the Pig Taoist also has the strength of the Heavenly Creation Realm.
Although he has reached the Yin Cha Realm of Fusion God, even compared to Han Li, he is still among the top few of the new generation in the Jailer Hall.
But the Yin difference realm is completely different from the heaven and earth realm.
When Tang Sheng knew the specific content of the mission, he was extremely resistant and even thought of giving up the mission.
However, after asking Ren Qing, he felt that there was an opportunity.
The most important thing is that Tang Sheng got a signal from Ren Qing, and the latter would secretly pay attention to the matter involving Dafotian.
Tang Sheng thought for a long time and then agreed, maybe he could use this to get a job as a ghost or immortal.
After he made adequate preparations, under the influence of the Heavenly Demon Tribulation, his body and soul disappeared into the Heavenly Palace in the world of his stomach and headed to the Great Buddha Heaven.
At the same time, the originally chaotic Dafotian gradually calmed down.
Even though demons from outside the territory are coming one after another, the Heavenly Creation Realm is afraid of the people behind the scenes, so they unanimously choose to hide everywhere.
On the contrary, in the Small Buddha Heaven, many Bodhisattvas went to surround and suppress the remnants of Lingshan Tathagata.
However, they did not recognize whether the Buddha believed in Lingshan Tathagata at all, which resulted in extremely slow progress in eliminating the rebellion.
Lingshan Tathagata is completely promoted as an evil demon coming from the outside world.
According to Zhu Taoist's guess, the main purpose of the Big Buddha Heaven is to stabilize the situation in the Small Buddha Heaven so as not to affect the "Pilgrimage of Ten Thousand Buddhas".
The so-called Ten Thousand Buddhas Pilgrimage refers to the ceremony that will soon enlighten the meritorious monks.
Of course, in the eyes of discerning people, all the ten thousand meritorious monks are already predetermined disciples of Dingguang Tathagata, involved in planning for the way of heaven.
The Ten Thousand Buddhas Pilgrimage not only gathers all the Buddhas in the Great Buddha Heaven, but even ordinary monks will participate.
Each temple has about a hundred places, and based on the number of Buddha Temples, it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of monks.
Pig Taoist naturally occupies one of the quotas.
Among the hundreds of monks in Futu Temple, he is probably the most inconspicuous. His low-key behavior makes him have no sense of existence.
The pig Taoist must have used side methods to obtain the quota.
He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to leave the temple openly and go to the wilderness, and then use the vertical eyes on his forehead to disguise himself as Buddha.
We strive to complete the commission from Lingshan Tathagata before the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pilgrimage begins.
In this way, he will undoubtedly be much more flexible, whether it is escaping Jingzhou or fighting for opportunities, he will be able to do so with ease.
Taoist Zhu was thinking about how to contact the other monks in the Celestial Realm, 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 and angular as rocks. When he walks, strong winds are generated, and his momentum is astonishing.
What surprised Taoist Zhu the most was that the monk was actually two realms behind him.
"Ascending to the deep Jingzhou, it must be at least half a step into the mysterious realm of heaven. And why does it appear in the Great Buddha Heaven in such a grand manner?"
Taoist Zhu was really confused, and then he felt a deep sense of fear.
He guessed that the monk's real strength was probably far beyond ordinary, and he was pretending to be at a low level, just to deceive himself into being exposed.
The Pig Taoist calmly turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
He is really scared by Ren Qing now, and he is a bit like a snake. Who knows if Lingshan Tathagata has penetrated into the Great Buddha Heaven.
But before Taoist Pig could take a few steps, the monk had already arrived beside him.
"It's like seeing Tathagata Lingshan."
Tang Sheng clasped his hands and said, under the protection of Ren Qing's Disaster Elimination Technique, even if he spoke in a loud voice, he still could not attract the attention of others.
The Pig Taoist looked around vigilantly, and asked hesitantly: "Why did the Tathagata come to see Old Pig?"
"Poor Monk Tang Sheng."
"I will accompany you on the next Ten Thousand Buddhas Pilgrimage."
Tang Sheng tried his best to keep his mind calm, at least not to fall behind in the face of the treacherous realm.
He realized that although the Great Buddha Heaven was very dangerous and full of treacherous realms, it was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime treasured place for cultivation.
The Vajra Body that Tang Sheng mastered was originally created by Buddhist monks, and the techniques are faintly complemented by the Buddhist aura, and are even slightly restrained.
As a result, when he was in the Great Buddha Heaven, he was stimulated by countless Buddha energies, which invisibly promoted the progress of the Vajra Body.
【Diamond body】
[Created by a crazy old monk, cultivation requires grinding the skin with gold and iron sand until all flesh and blood is exposed before it can be cultivated. 】
After Tang Sheng realized this, he didn't want to give up the seemingly dangerous mission.
He felt that if he could stay in the Great Buddha Heaven for a few years, he could try to advance to the Yangshen Realm.
Tang Sheng took a deep breath. The air was mixed with a touch of sandalwood, which could stabilize his mind. He didn't even have to worry about his inner demons when he broke through the bottleneck.
Taoist Zhu has been looking at Tang Sheng, and the more he looks at him, the more he feels that something is wrong. There is clearly nothing hidden about the other person's aura.
"Are you a disciple of Lingshan Tathagata?"
He felt that with Lingshan Tathagata's method, it was not difficult to create a person in the Heavenly Creation Realm, so why was he so unscrupulous? Moreover, Tang Sheng didn't have the slightest bit of Buddhist 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 heaven."
"Heaven?"
Taoist Zhu thought he had heard wrongly, and his brain became confused. How did Lingshan Tathagata get involved in the heavenly court of the Dragon King of the Four Seas?
"Heaven and the Buddhist world are both relics from ancient times."
Tang Sheng stopped talking and did not continue to describe the information about Heaven.
He followed Ren Qing's statement, and he didn't know whether it was true or not. After all, the Prison Hall only recorded a history of five or six hundred years, and the Ci family only joined in the past hundred years.
However, there are actually many monks in the Jailer's Hall who firmly believe in Heavenly Court's argument.
You must know that the rise of the Jailer's Hall was so fast that when the monks in Xiangxiang looked back on their experiences over the years, they felt a sense of unrealism and illusion.
Compared to the Jailer Hall, who is a nouveau riche and whose wealth depends entirely on luck, they are more willing to believe that their ancestors were once wealthy.
Taoist Zhu took a deep breath and suddenly realized the horror of the heavenly realm.
At the same time, the Taoist and Buddhist families are involved, and there are at least three people in the Heavenly Conspiracy Realm on the surface, which is already comparable to the insect nest with four mistresses.
Taoist Zhu noticed that Tang Sheng's technique was different from the Buddha's energy, and he immediately realized that he most likely came to the Buddha's Heaven to practice and serve as his spy.
He was a little aggrieved, but he could only admit it.
"Master Tang Sheng, please stay in the temple for now. Then I will make arrangements for you to go on a pilgrimage to Ten Thousand Buddhas."
"Not just me, there should be a heavenly monk who will come to the Great Buddha Heaven."
"who?"
Taoist Zhu's expression became more and more uncomfortable. It was still unclear what the situation of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pilgrimage was, but he already felt that he was at a loss.
"The plague tribe, and the plague people."
………
When Ren Qing found Taoist Mu Snake in the underworld, the latter was using a bamboo pole-shaped magic weapon to fish out the corpse from the rapid underworld.
Taoist Mu Snake has long been accustomed to his identity as a ferryman from the underworld.
He no longer paid attention to his banned cultivation, devoted himself wholeheartedly to the ferry, and stayed by the underworld day and night.
Because Taoist Mu Snake noticed that as long as he kept staring at the underworld, he could occasionally recall the vague memories of his life.
He knew that Taoist Master Mu Snake had created a spell before his death, and his talent was very outstanding.
If the lost memory can be inherited, Taoist Master Mu She is confident that he can restore his cultivation, even if it goes one step further, it will not be difficult.
Taoist Mu She was in a trance, and as a result, the Yin Qi in his body quickly overflowed.
But he didn't feel any joy at all, and quickly looked around, and sure enough, he saw Ren Qing standing motionless on the top of the grave not far away.
"Long time no see, Master Mu She."
"yes……"
Taoist Mu She gave a wry smile. One year in the outside world and nearly ten years in the world in his stomach, he has been a ferryman for decades without knowing it.
"Have you ever thought about leaving the underworld?"
"Just let me go."
Taoist Mu Snake looks like his edges have been smoothed away by life. Even though his cultivation level has returned to the Heavenly Creation Realm, he still looks like a skinny ferryman on the outside.
Ren Qing thought to himself and said: "You once created two magic techniques during your lifetime, one is called Snake Sloughing Technique, and the other is Ba She Fu."
"And I can also provide you with the dragon snake spine that you have always been thinking about."
Taoist Mu She didn't know what to say. Indeed, the ambition in his heart was revived by Ren Qing's few simple words.
"One spine is not enough?"
Ren Qing pointed at the rushing Yellow Spring, and the sound of bones colliding could be heard from the source.
Not long after, densely packed dragon spines surged in along the water flow, and the aura from the dragons caused the soul in Taoist Mu Snake's skull to beat uncontrollably.
Taoist Mu Snake subconsciously took a step forward, but in a trance, the dragon's spine disappeared again.
Ren Qingdian placed a point between Taoist Mu Snake's eyebrows, directly pulling his consciousness into the dream city and arriving at the bulletin board where the monks were constantly flowing.
Taoist Mu She came to his senses and immediately realized that he could now enter and exit Dream City.
As long as you have blood crystals, you can exchange them for various resources, including true dragon-level spines, but they are expensive.
Taoist Mu She looked at the tasks on the notice. Most of them had conditions for accepting them.
There is only one outing mission that not only rewards a large amount of blood crystals, but can also be received even if you are not a member of the Jailer Hall.
Taoist Mu She had a wry smile on his face. It was obvious that when Ren Qing contacted him, he had considered all aspects and could not refuse.
He took off the paper recording the tasks, glanced at it briefly and put it away.
Before Taoist Mu She could react, Ren Qing used Heavenly Demon to seize the body and sent his body and soul directly to the Great Buddha Heaven.
Under the gaze of Zhu Daoren and Tang Sheng, the little snake in the corner shed its skin and flesh, its spine continued to grow, and finally turned into a skeleton.
"Who are you……"
Taoist Zhu is as if he is facing a formidable enemy, and this monk is definitely not weaker than him.
Taoist Mu She took out a straw hat from his storage bag and put it on.
He first felt that the water in the Great Buddha Heaven was extremely deep. There were at least five monks in the Heavenly Deception Realm within a few hundred miles, and most of them were Buddhists.
Secondly, Taoist Mu Snake also noticed that a familiar Yin Qi was also present in the Great Buddha Heaven.
"Mrs. Bones? It's quite lively."
Taoist Mu Snake raised his head, looked directly at Taoist Pig and said, "Heavenly Plague Department."
