Perfect World: Dream Back to the Ancient Immortal World
Page 124
You know, before the immortal monk Wuzhen left, he specifically told them not to bring the distinguished guest to some forbidden places in the religion to avoid any accidents.
This extremely dangerous Samsara Pool is naturally one of them. If Gu Wudi had not been obsessed with it and repeatedly requested, Kong Jue would never agree to bring him here.
Now, they have climbed to the top of the stone mountain. Kongjue and several young monks seem calm, but they are actually a little guilty in their hearts, fearing that they will be punished by their elders when they return.
Because of this, Gu Wudi’s words “Master Wuzhen” made them shudder out of surprise, and all their attention was diverted to the steps leading to the top of the stone mountain.
However, the imagined angry Wuzhen did not appear, and there was only emptiness.
Several novice monks were confused. Where was the “Master Wuzhen” mentioned by Gu Wudi?
The next moment, Kong Jue realized something was wrong and said “not good” in his heart. He immediately turned around and tried to stop Gu Wudi.
But it was obviously too late.
There was only a “splash” sound, and the water in the reincarnation pool splashed and ripples appeared. A living person just fell into the pool and disappeared from sight.
Kong Jue widened his eyes and scanned the surface of the Samsara Pond, trying to find the figure of Gu Wudi. Unfortunately, it was empty, just like the stairs. There were only the weakening water waves and the blazing divine light.
Several young monks also reacted and shouted loudly towards the Samsara Pond: “Donor Gu, Donor Gu…”
As for the ancient monks who were chanting scriptures on the bank of the Samsara Pond, they were all startled and woke up from their state of meditation.
“Who jumped right in?”
They looked at the lake where the ripples had not yet completely dissipated, and were suddenly shocked.
This is not an ordinary lake, but a reincarnation pool and a grinding pool. Anyone who enters it must endure extreme pain beyond what they can endure. If one does not have the physique of an ancient monk and has not chanted Buddhist scriptures to protect his body, then once in the water, he will encounter a catastrophe and be ground into pieces on the spot.
Generally speaking, monks like them who are about to achieve a golden body must chant scriptures for a quarter of an hour before they go down to the pool to practice, in order to fully mobilize the Buddha nature in their bodies, so as to protect them from being crushed and destroyed by the reincarnation pool.
Even so, they were very careful when entering the water, not daring to be too aggressive for fear of being torn to pieces.
Who would have thought that there was a creature that dared to dive straight into the water and submerge itself in the pool in an instant.
Several monks looked around and confirmed that it was not the person chanting on the shore, so they turned their gaze towards Kongjue.
“Kongjue, did you just bring an outsider? Where is he?” A high monk in the supreme realm realized the seriousness of the matter and came over and asked sternly.
Kongjue and several young monks felt their scalps tingling. Because they had shaved their heads and had no hair, they could clearly see their scalps shaking.
“Uncle Master, it was… in the Samsara Pond. It disappeared as soon as it dived in. I don’t know if it sank to the bottom of the pool.” Kong Jue answered with a stiff face.
“what?”
Several eminent monks were shocked, thinking of the tragedy that had happened in the Samsara Pond. That was a descendant of the Immortal King who came here by chance. After hearing about the legendary deeds of the Immortal Monk King, they wanted to imitate him. As a result, after he went into the pool, he never came out again. Even the guardians beside the Samsara Pond were helpless. There was no way. The young man was too conceited, and when he went down, he used a more intense method – diving.
Now, the tragedy seems to be happening again.
When the Supreme Monk found out about Gu Wudi’s identity, his face changed drastically and he said “Not good”.
“This Gu Xiaoshi fell into the Samsara Pond. The owner of the Cross Yin-Yang Forbidden Land will definitely not let it go. We are in the same Dao Heaven, so we will meet each other every day… From now on, my ancient monk lineage will have a cause and effect.
Alas, you guys are so confused.” The Supreme Monk couldn’t help but scold.
“Uncle-master, what should we do? Donor Gu hasn’t floated up from the pond yet. Has he been decomposed?” A young monk’s eyes showed panic.
“It’s useless for us to go down now. This pool has a characteristic that it swallows up all magical powers and spells. The creatures who go down can only rely on themselves.
However, if Grandmaster Kong took action, that creature might still be saved.
Grandmaster Liaokong has cultivated an extremely powerful golden body. Although it is not as strong as a 10-foot-tall golden body, it is very close. It can have a certain impact on the Samsara Pond. However, this impact is limited. Whether it can be rescued depends on the good fortune of the young donor Gu. “
Hearing this, Kongjue and several young monks immediately ran towards the motionless stone statue. He was the Master Liaokong mentioned by the Supreme Monk. He was an immortal monk with great power. He had been sitting cross-legged in the Samsara Pond, protecting the safety of those who went into the water.
The Supreme Monk and others also came over to wake up the immortal monk who was in meditation.
At this moment, there was movement in the Samsara Pool. Bubbles began to gurgle on the surface of the lake, and a brilliant divine light bloomed.
Everyone was attracted by the noise there, only to see a broken human head floating up to the surface, with half of the head missing, dissolved by the pool water.
“Ah? Donor Gu?”
Gu Wudi heard the exclamations from the shore, but he did not respond immediately. Instead, he did not dare to stop for a moment and urged the ancient particles in his body to fight against the terrifying pool water from all directions around him.
I originally thought that I had used my body as a seed to open up a new system that would become powerful enough to ignore the erosion of the Samsara Pond.
Who knew that the water in this pool was much more terrifying than imagined. Extreme cold and extreme heat were nothing, just minor things. These crystal juices possessed a demonic power, like small millstones, crushing every grain of flesh on his body.
This kind of pain was unimaginable, and it made Gu Wudi feel as if he had returned to the time when he created the world as a seed.
“Kick!”
One could clearly hear the sound of bones breaking coming from his body, and his flesh was deformed and covered with cracks.
Blood flowed out from the wounds all over his body, dyeing the lake red.
“Mr. Gu, are you okay? Hold on, we will wake up Master Kong immediately and rescue you.” The little monk shouted loudly.
Gu Wudi in the pool was moved when he heard this. Patriarch Liaokong? Could it be that stone statue? If this creature wakes up and fishes him out of the lake, then all the suffering he has endured so far will be in vain, and the great fortune will become a fantasy.
Thinking of this, Gu Wudi immediately laughed out loud and responded loudly: “Haha, there is no need to bother this senior who is in meditation. I am fine. I feel comfortable all over and I am about to ascend to heaven.”
Hearing him say this, several senior monks looked at the lake in surprise, and the young novices were also stunned.
The pool water was dyed red and blood was flowing. Is this really comfortable?
“Master Gu, are you sure? Both of your ears, half of your nose, most of your chin, your upper and lower lips, and one eye… are gone, bloody and mangled. Is this really okay?
Let’s quickly ask Master Kong to rescue you.” The little monk widened his eyes, looking at the wounded Gu Wudi in disbelief, and asked innocently.
Gu Wudi laughed dryly and said in his heart, I have already jumped down, I would rather die than go up, I must endure the ordeal.
“Really, you see, I can still swim.” Gu Wudi replied.
After saying this, he really started swimming in the Samsara Pool, tumbling up and down, stirring up bursts of divine light.
“Oh my God, donor Gu is really swimming in the Samsara Pond. It turns out what he said just now was true. He wanted to take a bath in the Samsara Pond.” A little monk was surprised and recalled what Gu Wudi had said just now.
At this time, several eminent monks also noticed Gu Wudi’s unusualness.
The dive just now was very deep. After Gu Wudi went down, he didn’t come out for a long time. He was completely eroded by the pool water for a long time. But after coming out, he was still full of energy. Not only was he chatting and laughing, he also started swimming.
If it were an ordinary genius creature, it would probably have been dissolved by now and become part of the reincarnation pool.
“Young donor Gu is no simple man. He is worthy of being the disciple of the owner of the restricted area. He does not have the physique of an ancient monk, and has never chanted Buddhist scriptures to protect his body, but he can persist in the reincarnation pool for so long without changing his expression.” The supreme monk could not help but sigh.
“Is everything really okay? We can see the bones on Mr. Gu’s thighs, and his arms are covered in blood.” Kong Jue was a little worried.
“It’s impossible to be sure. Judging from the mental state of the young donor Gu, he seems to be enjoying it. However, his body is indeed constantly disintegrating.
The descendant of the Immortal King who died in the pool that year, although he did not show such a relaxed expression, he did not call for help. He wanted to replicate the supreme myth of the Immortal Monk King. As a result, he missed the best rescue opportunity and eventually caused a tragedy.
I think we should wake up Master Kong and let him make the judgment.” The Supreme Monk said.
Afterwards, all the monks chanted Buddhist scriptures together, and the motionless stone statue immediately reacted. Its two tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, emitting brilliant golden light, like two golden lamps, incomparably brilliant.
Liaokong woke up from his trance and immediately understood the reason and what had happened.
His eyes were bright, with profound Buddhist and Taoist symbols floating in them. His whole body shook slightly, shaking off the dust on his body, revealing a bronze, dry body.
Although he looked a little dry and thin, all the ancient monks present knew that the physical body of this Patriarch Liaokong was extremely strong. He had already cultivated a golden body and pushed the golden body to an extreme state. He was not far from the legendary six-foot-tall golden body.
The fact that he can rescue people from the reincarnation pool is enough to show how powerful he is.
At this time, Liaokong stared at Gu Wudi who was swimming on the surface of the pool. His eyes were shining and emitting golden light from time to time. After a long time, he uttered a somewhat hoarse word.
“Where did you find this little monster?”
“what?”
The monks were a little confused when they heard this, but they soon understood what Kong meant.
“Grandmaster, do you mean that young donor Gu is fine and does not need any help?” The supreme monk first put his hands together, bowed, and then asked.
“Save? Why should we save him? Didn’t you see how happily this kid was swimming? He’s like a fish in water.” Lekong was speechless and replied, pointing at Gu Wudi in the pool.
“For too long, no one has dared to go down to this samsara pond without relying on Buddhist scriptures and Buddha nature, so everyone has forgotten how terrifying this pond is.
Ordinary geniuses, even descendants of Immortal Kings, will become frozen in place after entering the Samsara Pool. Their bodies and souls will quickly disintegrate and become part of the pool.
This was the case with the young man whom I failed to save that year. He was too conceited, and his ambitions were too high. He didn’t want to fail in public, so he forced himself to hold on, and eventually died.
Look at this little monster. It has been in the pool for a while, but it can still swim. Its movements are smooth and flexible, not stiff at all. It is definitely a young Immortal King.”
“The Immortal King’s seedling?”
The Supreme Monk and others looked at each other in amazement. This evaluation was too high, especially coming from the mouth of the discerning Master Liaokong, it was of great value.
“Of course, this kid is the most likely creature I’ve ever seen to replicate the miracles performed by the Immortal Monk King.
Oh, by the way, what is the origin of this kid? He doesn’t seem to be from my ancient monk lineage? Does he have a master? If not, then he is my disciple.” Lekong asked questions continuously.
The few little monks were silent. It was the first time they heard Kong speak. The last time he woke up, they were not yet born.
Therefore, they were somewhat puzzled. Was this person really an immortal monk? Why didn’t he speak with the transcendental temperament of an immortal monk? He sounded more like an old monster in the secular world.
“Senior Brother Kongjue…”
They couldn’t hold back their curiosity and asked Kong Jue who was standing nearby.
“As far as I know, Master Liaokong is not from the ancient monk lineage, but converted to Buddhism later, and is from the lineage of the Fighting Buddha.”
Chapter 150 Evil Thoughts
Upon hearing this, several novice monks immediately understood.
In the lineage of the Fighting Buddha, most of the creatures did not originally belong to the ancient monk lineage, but were foreign groups. Later, they converted to Buddhism and formed a unique school.
Among them, those who achieve the highest level can be named “War Buddha”.
Sometimes, they would call themselves “Sanfo”, meaning outsiders who are not bound by any rules and travel around the world like independent people.
The creatures in this lineage are all extremely powerful. While they are well versed in Buddhism, they also master other terrifying ancient methods. When combined together, they form an invincible magic skill – the Eight Styles of Scattered Buddha.
The famous Eighteen Beats of Ancient Buddha, which can find out the weaknesses of others, evolved from the Eight Styles of Sanfo.
The Master Liaokong in front of him comes from the lineage of the War Buddha. No wonder he has no taboos when speaking. He is not bound by any constraints.
There are other deeper reasons for staying in front of the Samsara Pond, meditating and becoming a guardian.
“Reporting to the ancestor, the young donor Gu already has a master, who is the master of the Cross Yin-Yang Forbidden Zone.” The supreme monk responded.
Upon hearing that Gu Wudi was the disciple of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, Le Kong, who had just been making bold statements, fell silent in an instant.
The master of the Cross Yin-Yang Forbidden Zone is a person whom even the Immortal Monk King can call a senior. He is extremely ancient. Liaokong has heard a little about him. No matter what the situation is, he is unwilling to mention too much, because creatures of this level are all taboo.
