Chapter 65 - 65: 61. On Bixiao Peak, Ancient Book of Thunder
The tiger tribe and fox tribe were only separated by a mountain, and the relationship between the two tribes was quite good. The tiger demons were mostly ferocious and mighty, and their cultivation techniques were also extremely strong. However, they were generally lacking in flexibility, and the fox demons could make up for this. The two tribes were mutually dependent and united against the outside world.
The matter of investing in the Great Xia’s ninth princess was decided by these two races. Of course, the fox and demon races weren’t the only ones in the Northern Lands. It was just that these two races were the most powerful.
Man was the leader of all spirits, and the royal family was the dragon and phoenix among men. The killing tribulation was facing the world, and as the leader of all spirits, humans were the first to bear the brunt.
Now, regardless of whether it was the emperor or the nine princes and princesses, they were all blessed with great luck. Normally speaking, none of these people would be able to escape from the killing tribulation, but none of them would die so easily.
This killing tribulation was sweeping across the world. If they did not invest and were lucky, the aftermath of the killing tribulation would probably shatter them. After all, there were many monks and Daoists in this world who hated the demon race to the extreme.
The fox and tiger clans thought for a long time and reached a consensus. They couldn’t hide, so they decided to invest in a royal family.
They had no other choice, because only Xia Xiaosu was kind. She was also the only one who would come to Thunder Sound Monastery from time to time. After observing for a long time, they chose her.
Other princes and princesses might be stronger and more ambitious, but if you joined them, you might become someone else’s tiger skin cushion and fox fur scarf the next day…
At this moment, Huixin and Xia Ji were walking on the mountain path.
On both sides of the road, the trees were withered and desolate.
Xia Ji could vaguely sense that they were being spied on. Without the cover of the trees, he could easily see the fairies patrolling around him with just a slight shift of his gaze.
“Is there an invasion?” Xia Ji asked casually.
‘ Not the enemies, ” Huixin replied. ” It’s the Black Fox King and Chi Shanjun. They are considered traitors of the Fox and Tiger tribes, but there are also many fairies who support them and follow them.
Speaking of which, King Black Fox and Chi Shanjun were not like this at first. It was just that they had been hurt too deeply by some monks, so they had a deep hatred for humans. Therefore, they were determined not to live in peace with humans.
It was said that they often seduced humans outside the temple. The Black Fox King’s clan lured lechers or monks with evil intentions. Red Mountain Jun devoured humans to create a ghost. The ghost would then send people to their deaths through dreams and other means. Therefore, they had formed a considerable force.
“Now that the slaughter is about to begin, they are coming back to persuade us to gather together and resist the slaughter together. Then, we will gather the eighty-one demons of the Northern Lands to do something big.
A few days ago, Black Fox King sent an envoy to invite me, but I asked Black Fox King to come back and say that the envoy wanted to fight with me, so I beat him up and ran away.”
It seemed that conflicts were everywhere. All the races had internal and external conflicts, but Xia Ji did not interfere. After all, this was the Fox Race’s own business. He was pressed for time, and if he interfered, it would only cause more trouble.
A man and a fox came to the tiger clan, but the tiger clan leader was actually not in the clan.
“Your Highness, I know where Wang Shanjun is…” Huixin said without panicking.
“King?”
“Yes, most of my fox clan’s surname is Hu, while the tiger clan’s surname is
Wang. Please follow me, Your Highness.”
The two of them walked quickly along the mountain road for a long time before they arrived in front of a temple. The temple looked decent, and there were incense sticks inside. A winding mountain road led to the north, and they could vaguely see a village in the distance.
When they got closer, prayers came from the temple. Some villagers, men and women, old and young, were consciously lining up, carrying baskets of fruits and incense.
The prayer came from a man dressed like a scholar at the front.
The scholar was praying to Buddha.
The Buddha statue’s left hand extended downwards and its right hand faced the sky with its palm facing outwards. It was a Wish Mudra, meaning that it could make all the wishes of all living beings come true.
Men and women dressed as villagers were devoutly kowtowing to the Buddha statue, muttering the words “pray to the mountain god”.
However, Xia Ji could tell at a glance that the statue sitting on the altar was not a Buddha statue but a tiger.
He glanced at the two children standing next to the Buddha statue. They were actually two steel machetes.
It was already strange that the mountain god was a Buddha statue. With this, the strange feeling was simply dense to the extreme.
After waiting for a while, the villagers left after paying their respects.
The Buddha statue was still standing upright. Huixin walked forward and said, “”Wang Shanjun, the real Buddha is here. How dare a fake Buddha like you sit on the altar?”
The Buddha statue immediately began to transform, exploding into a cloud of black smoke. Then, a fierce tiger that was 20 feet long appeared. This was simply a ferocious thing.
The ferocious tiger exploded again and transformed into an extremely valiant monk. He was more than two meters tall and his eyes were as wide as copper bells. He wiped his shiny bald head with his right hand and shouted,”Where is the true Buddha? Where is it?”
Then, his gaze fell on Xia Ji. He moved slightly and recognized him. He laughed and said in a strange tone, “‘I SO it’s the Seventh Prince. I’ve heard a lot about you. Amitabha. The old tree demon has already told me and Huixin what you look like. Your Highness is here to read, right? I have no objections.” As he spoke, he took out a key from his pocket and threw it at the beautiful nun. ” Bring His Highness to open the door. I’m not done with my business today. ‘
“Is Shan Jun really here to be a mountain god?” Xia Ji asked curiously.
Huixin was clearly very familiar with this tiger tribe leader, so he said, ” He’s been pretending to be a mountain god for nearly twenty years. He’s actually quite famous in the surrounding mountain villages. As long as the villagers come to pray, he’ll do everything he can. He’ll fight mountain bandits, deliver strange medicines, build wooden bridges, and even find a way to pick herbs and send them to the infertile women. ‘
After listening for a while, Xia Ji realized that it was no longer a joke. This tiger demon was really devoted to doing good. Moreover, looking at the monk he had transformed into, although he was a little silly, his eyes were very pure. The tiger demon did not eat humans, but rather, it was happy to help others. It was quite interesting.
He raised his left hand and made a one-handed salute.
Wang Shanjun laughed and said, ” Amitabha. I’ve never seen Huixin so eager to take care of a human. Usually, he even ignores me. It seems that Your Highness
is really capable. I’m done tonight. I wonder if I can come to Your Highness and ask for your advice? ”
Xia Ji nodded.
Wang Shanjun was overjoyed. ” See you tonight! ” Amitabha!”
Since she had obtained the other key, the beautiful nun brought Xia Ji to the library.
On Bixiao Peak, the stone door of the cave that served as the library cabinet was extremely thick.
After Huixin inserted the two keys, the stone door was pushed to the side.
The beautiful nun walked in first. With a flick of her finger, the candles on the wall lamps lit up one by one like two red ribbons. They quickly bypassed the east and west and cast the flames on a large library shelf in the middle.
“Your Highness, you can read it here. I’ll get Xiao Xi to send food here every morning and evening,” Huixin said.
Xia Ji nodded with a smile. He felt that this trip had been extremely smooth, and none of the obstacles he had thought of before had been blocked. Judging from the way the northern fox and tiger clans spoke and behaved, they were really kind. Thus, he said,”Thank you.”
When Huixin heard this, he hurriedly returned the greeting. ” Your Highness, please don’t say that. ”
Then, she put her palms together as if she was worshipping a god or Buddha. Then, she slowly retreated, leaving Xia Ji alone.
Xia Ji walked in.
There were many books on the shelf, and each of them exuded an ancient aura.
His gaze turned and landed on the two ancient books. Even his calm heart could not help but jump.
The first volume was the Sutra of Maitreya Bodhisattva.
The other volume was the Sutra of the Past, the Four Directions, and the
Karma.
Obviously, one was about Maitreya and the other was about Dipamkara.
He took a deep breath and stood in front of the bookshelf. He took out the scripture and read it carefully.
As he read, he understood the meaning of the past, present, and future.
The past has been fixed and cannot be changed. Therefore, it becomes the Great Light and can break all illusions and delusions. It is called breaking thoughts.
Now I am in the right path and am in the midst of all spirits of heaven and earth, so I feel the connection between heaven and earth, people and even all spirits. This is to let all living beings of heaven and earth understand my meaning and to feel it.
The future was unknown, so it was all-encompassing and accommodating everything.
The Three Phases Merging was a great comprehension. It could fuse cultivation techniques and leave a spiritual mark.
Six hours later, he finished reading the book.
A golden [Past Burning Lamp Zen] and a golden [Future Maitreya Zen] appeared in his primordial spirit..
