Chapter 164 Immortals
Daluo Immortal, the founder of the Daluo Sect, is also one of the three supreme immortals in Middle Earth, and the tree planter of Shendu Tongtian Wood.
After preaching, Daluo Patriarch lived in seclusion with two other ancestors in heaven and rarely asked about the secular world on earth.
The last time Daluo Immortal set foot on the earth was when Jiang Taizu climbed Kunlun Mountain four hundred years ago. At that time, Daluo Immortal made a bet with this Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and finally won a small game and was able to plant the Tongtian wood in the gods.
After planting the Tongtian Tree, Daluo Patriarch never asked about worldly affairs again. Except for occasionally meeting the disciples of Daluo Sect, he basically never met outsiders.
Even when he met the disciples of Daluo Sect, the ancestor usually gave up talismans and led people to the Heavenly Holy Realm to summon them. However, this time, the ancestor personally lowered his jade toes and came to Kunlun Mountain to meet the head of Daluo Sect in Kunlun Mountain.
The head of the Daluo Sect, whose surname is Ji, is named Yuxu, has been in charge of the great sect for more than 300 years.
The incarnation of the national master Mu Shenyue's Taoist name Zixu has some relationship with the leader of the Daluo Sect. However, Mu Shenyue has not dealt with this leader Ji for hundreds of years, and the relationship between the two is not very good. Mu Shenyue has not even returned to Kunlun Mountain for more than 200 years.
At this time, Taoist Yuxu, one of the three sects, came to Shendu and came to Ji Ziming.
Although Master Ji is not young, he looks quite young, just like Ji Ziming's peers. He put his hands together in his wide sleeves of his robe and glanced at Ji Ziming faintly, and continued, "Which Buddhists in the Western Regions want to enter the Middle Earth to preach, do you know this?"
“Know some.”
Ji Ziming bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple has been in Shendu for many years. Many foreign monks from the Western Regions have entered Shendu. The disciples occasionally see them preaching in Shendu. However, the people of Shendu advocate martial arts, and even the immortal way is not necessarily respected in Shendu. These foreign monks preached the teachings. There are only a few believers who are not in large scale. The disciples have visited..."
"The Buddhist believers in the entire capital of God will be at most hundreds or thousands of people. If these people are combined, they may not even be able to worship a god of the day tour, and it will be a disastrous."
Gods are also classified into levels.
When a god is worshipped from the void, he is very weak, as weak as the soul of a mortal. He can even be blown away by the wind, and the ice and snow will melt when the sun shines.
At this stage, such weak gods can only come out to wander at night. The biggest ability is to give mortals a headache or give them dreams.
When the incense power becomes stronger, the gods will become stronger and can wander during the day or even appear during the day.
At this time, it was what Ji Ziming mentioned as a day trip god.
The gods will become stronger as the incense mind power grows. When they reach a certain level, they will become like the Emperor Taiyue, with quite impressive combat power.
There are too few Buddhist believers in Shendu.
You should know that the capital of Shendu is a thousand miles in a radius, and the population of only one capital of Shendu is more than 60 million. With such a huge base, hundreds of believers are really in scale.
As Ji Ziming said, the people of Shendu do not believe in Gods and Buddhas very much.
Because these people, as long as they practice martial arts, they can easily kill monsters, practice to the depths and even fly to the sky and escape, becoming existences comparable to immortals and Buddhas.
Especially in places like Shendu where martial arts are prosperous, it is not uncommon for fourth-grade masters or even third-grade masters. Of course, the common people will not place hopes on gods and Buddhas.
To put it bluntly, there is no soil for gods and Buddhas to live in the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The reason why Emperor Taiyue worships him is because the legend says that Emperor Taiyue is in charge of the underworld and is in charge of life and death. Mortals can fight monks and evil spirits by practicing martial arts. These are not seen by the people of Gods. The word "life and death" is the fatal pain point of martial arts.
Martial arts cannot transcend life and death, so the Emperor Taiyue can still be in full bloom even in the capital of Shendu.
It is precisely because of this reason that Buddhism was blocked from preaching in the Great Zhou Dynasty that they set their minds on Li Yun. They wanted to establish a Buddhist kingdom in Middle Earth through Li Yun.
In the country of Dazhou, there is no soil for gods and Buddhas, Buddhism wants to create a new country on its own, a Buddha country on earth that only believes in Buddha.
Master Ji's face was calm and said lightly: "Since Emperor Jiang, the creatures in the Middle Earth have begun to seek strength but not the Tao. If the ancestors had not planted the heavenly wood in the gods, the Great Zhou would not even have any soil for the immortal path. The Great Zhou could not accommodate the immortal path, and naturally they could not tolerate the Buddhist path."
"but…"
Master Ji lowered his eyebrows and said, "But the purpose of Buddhism in the Western Regions is not the capital of God. They want to choose a place in the west of the Middle Land, or the northwest, to establish a new country, a Buddha's kingdom."
Ji Ziming frowned slightly. He looked at his teacher and asked, "Master, the fortunes of the world come and go, and the way of heaven is reflected. It is impossible for Buddhists in the Western Regions to establish a country out of thin air..."
Master Ji glanced at Ji Ziming lightly and said, "Where is the Zhongli Kingdom in the southwest?"
"southwest…"
Ji Ziming was stunned for a moment and lowered his head and said, "The immortal in the southwest has already suffered a heavenly disaster..."
"But he was not dead."
"The immortals in the Western Regions have been enlightened for more than two thousand years. He is much stronger than the immortal in the southwest."
"Maybe this immortal from the Western Regions was a little afraid of the disaster of the heavenly path, but after seeing the fate of the immortal Chen in the southwest, he was no longer afraid."
The immortal Wusheng ancestor in the southwest is still alive, which means that the heavenly tribulation is not endless.
There is also a limit for heavenly tribulation.
The heavenly tribulation of the ancestor Wusheng is Li Mo. If Li Mo is placed in front of the immortal in the Western Regions, even if he can injure the immortal in the Western Regions, his injuries will probably not be too serious.
“Besides…”
Master Ji lowered his eyebrows and said, "There is still a national destiny in the world that Zhongli Kingdom has not dissipated. As long as Buddhism uses this national destiny to make a fuss and has seen it in the west of Zhongli Kingdom with its remains, the way of heaven may not find him."
While Master Ji was talking, he found a cushion and sat down. After sitting down, he reached out and stroked his beard, looked at Ji Ziming, and said, "Ziming, the second immortal has emerged from the Shinto."
Master Ji looked at Ji Ziming and said lightly: "I am more than 600 years old. I probably can't catch up in this life, but you..."
"Do you want to live forever?"
Ji Dazhenren swallowed hard. He took a deep breath and lowered his head and said, "Master, disciple...want to live forever."
Every person in the immortal path will have this answer when facing this question.
After all, there are only these two words at the end of the immortal path.
Eternal life!
Master Ji sat cross-legged on the cushion and said, "The ancestor said that immortality should be on the divine way."
"Originally, after dying, we can only walk on the Shinto path. We have no physical body and are controlled everywhere. Few of us have taken this path, but now it seems that those who are not dead can also walk on the Shinto path."
Master Ji smiled and said, "After the immortal enlightenment, there are immortals, and after the enlightenment of the gods, there are gods. According to the ancestors, after living for this method, after living forever, they should be called "gods and immortals."
He looked at Ji Ziming and asked, "Do you want to be a god?"
Ji Ziming lowered his head silently.
"Disciple... thinks."
Master Ji nodded.
