Chapter 680: The great magical power to destroy the world, the innate five-colored light!
The statue spoke!
The huge malachite statue seemed to be about to become a spirit, or like a demon that was sealed here by someone, making Di Renjie completely unable to see through it.
But he also saw a sword stuck in a large rock not far away.
The sword body was completely embedded in the stone, with only a worn-out hilt exposed. It looked very crude, and any sword in a roadside blacksmith shop would look better than this one.
It was obvious that the malachite statue wanted Di Renjie to pull out the broken sword and then chop its stone body into pieces.
Di Renjie did not do so immediately. Instead, he looked at the malachite statue and asked, "Who are you and what is your purpose?"
The voice of the stone peacock sounded again.
"Are you Di Renjie?"
"That's right. "
"When you were young, did you ever meet Li Daoxuan? Did he leave you a piece of talisman paper with eight words on it: Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, don't eat too much."
Hearing this, Di Renjie was shocked.
When he was young, he met the imperial teacher, who left him a note. Only a very few people knew about this. How did Stone Peacock know about it?
Later, it was that note that saved his life.
After he was imprisoned by the cruel official Lai Junchen, he knew he could not endure the torture, so he confessed his crime straightforwardly, then made friends with the jailer, and used the excuse that it was too hot to ask him to send his cotton-padded jacket back home so that his family could take out some of the cotton from the jacket.
Although his family was puzzled, they still did as he was told, and finally found the talisman paper in his cotton-padded jacket.
They asked someone to present the talisman to the Queen Mother of Heaven. The Queen Mother did not take it seriously at first, but when she heard that the words on the talisman were written by Li Daoxuan, the former imperial master of the Tang Dynasty, she summoned six calligraphy masters overnight to compare the handwriting.
The final result was that the eight words were indeed written by Li Daoxuan.
All of a sudden, the Queen Mother, who was high above everyone else, could no longer remain calm. She immediately ordered Di Renjie to be released from prison and to personally try the case.
In the end, Di Renjie saved his life and was exiled to Pengze County.
It is no exaggeration to say that the talisman paper given by the national teacher during that adventure in his childhood was equivalent to a golden medal of immunity from death, which saved his life.
Although the National Master has disappeared for decades, his reputation remains. The National Master's disciples are in charge of the Zhelong Guards, command the Bad People, and are able to check and balance the Queen's King.
Therefore, the queen also has to save face.
The only pity is that the talisman paper was collected by the Queen Mother and not returned to him.
"He also said to you that the Tang Dynasty can do without him, Li Daoxuan, but it cannot do without you, Di Renjie, right?"
Hearing this, Di Renjie was shocked again.
If the matter of the talisman paper was spread, it could be explained because he had told his parents about it, but he had never said this to anyone else.
How did the statue know?
"Who are you? What's your relationship with the Imperial Master?"
"The national master once played chess with his wife on the top of Wulong Mountain . I was a peacock that he casually enlightened. After they left, I began to practice here. However, an accident occurred while I was practicing a magical power, and I became a stone body."
Di Renjie thought of the chess game outside and suddenly understood.
It turned out that the people who played chess that year were the national teacher and the goddess Xiaoxiang.
No wonder the herbalist once said that the man in white clothes and a golden belt was handsome and elegant, and the woman in a red dress was as beautiful as a fairy.
When he thought of this, Di Renjie looked at Shi Kongque with much kinder eyes.
The people he has always admired the most are Emperor Taizong Wen and the national teacher Li Daoxuan. The fact that this peacock could be enlightened by the immortal Li proves that it is not an evil monster.
Thinking of the tiger that carried him up the mountain, Di Renjie calmed himself down and asked, "But how did you know the details of my encounter with the Imperial Master?"
Although he was a careful person, he did not completely believe it.
Shi Kongque answered again: "It was the Imperial Master who told me personally. He said that I would encounter a disaster in my future practice and that I could only survive it if I met a man named Di Renjie. In order to make you believe it, he told me this."
Hearing this, Di Renjie finally let down his guard.
He couldn't help but sigh that the national teacher was indeed omnipotent and could predict the future. Everything was within his expectations.
Di Renjie walked to the stone and reached out to pull out the broken sword.
In an instant, the precious light was bright and dazzling.
It was actually a sword forged from colored glaze!
Di Renjie was a little hesitant. Although the sword was beautiful, it was fragile. Could it cut through the hard stone?
"The magical power I cultivate is called the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light. It draws on the energy of the five elements of primordial times and contains the light of the Great Dao. Its power is extraordinary, but the more powerful the magical power, the more difficult it is to cultivate."
There was a hint of helplessness in the Stone Peacock's voice.
"I never thought that to cultivate this magical power, I would have to go through the tribulations of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. The gold tribulation turns into copper, the wood tribulation turns into tree, the water tribulation turns into ice, the fire tribulation turns into charcoal, and the earth tribulation turns into stone. The five tribulations alternate endlessly and rotate non-stop. An external force is required to break them."
"Moreover, that external force must be neither metal, wood, fire, water, nor earth. It is not one of the five elements."
Di Renjie looked at the glazed sword in his hand and an idea flashed in his mind.
"No wonder he used glass as his sword!"
During the Western Han Dynasty, colored glaze was introduced to China from the Western Regions. This object is bright in color, fragile, and made of a unique material, and is not among the five elements of the Central Plains.
Buddhism also lists it as one of the seven treasures, and it is said to have the function of warding off disasters and evil spirits.
Di Renjie took a deep breath, without hesitation, picked up the sword and chopped it on the huge malachite statue.
Strangely enough, the fragile glazed sword actually shattered the hard stone statue, and cracks continued to spread.
Brilliant five-colored divine light shot out from the gaps, making it difficult for Di Renjie to open his eyes.
The ground shook slightly and the entire cave was shaking.
"Stay away, I'm coming out!"
The voice in the stone statue seemed a little excited, as if a great demon had finally seen the light of day again after many years.
This made Di Renjie wonder in his heart whether he had been cheated.
He stood at the edge of the cave, and then he heard a long roar, as loud as thunder, filled with pleasure and excitement, and then the earth shook violently and the cave was about to collapse.
boom!
The stone statue exploded completely. Five divine lights of green, yellow, red, black and white shot up into the sky and earth. They were like five divine pillars supporting the sky and shaking the earth, or like five sacred mountains blocking the sun and the moon.
In the extremely dazzling five-colored divine light, there was a faint shadow of a peacock, with a naturally proud character, looking down on the gods and Buddhas.
It walked proudly in the chaotic void, and finally let out a long roar towards the sky, then turned into five rays of divine light and flew into a figure.
Boom!
The cave collapsed completely and huge rocks fell down. Di Renjie subconsciously put up his hand to cover his forehead, thinking that he was going to die here.
But in a moment, the mountain breeze blew, and the birds chirped and the flowers bloomed.
He suddenly woke up and found himself sitting in front of the chessboard. The stone table was overgrown with weeds. He was unaware that everything he had just experienced in the cave seemed to be a dream he had while he was asleep.
But is it really just a dream?
"Thank you, my lady."
A clear voice sounded, startling Di Renjie. He turned around and saw a handsome Taoist priest in fluttering white robes standing behind him.
The Taoist's eyes were like lacquer, his hair was like black ink, his skin was flawless, his temperament was as ethereal as an immortal, and his every move seemed as if he was going to fly away on the wind.
Looking at this person, Di Renjie felt a little dazed. When he was young, he had also met a person with such elegance and bearing.
The Taoist in white thanked the void, but Di Renjie didn't see anyone there at all.
But in the next moment, a voice sounded slowly, as if falling from the sky, with an inexplicable Zen feeling, which made people calm their minds and couldn't help but feel a sense of conversion.
"No problem, congratulations to you, fellow Taoist, for achieving the magical power of the Buddha Mother."
Li Daoxuan looked at the green-clothed figure standing in the void, with thirty-three layers of Buddha's light flowing, and his eyes showed sincere gratitude.
He had not imagined that this innate five-colored divine light would be so difficult to cultivate, and that one would have to go through the calamity of the five elements, and repeat itself over and over again without stopping.
Li Daoxuan's soul and body were both in trouble. They were imprisoned in a small space, unable to move at all. All his magic power and supernatural powers were also imprisoned.
Drawing a circle on the ground to create a prison is nothing more than this.
Fortunately, he still has a hidden trump card that is unknown to the public, which is the protection of the current Buddha.
After silently reciting Namo Treasure Lotus Blue-robed Purdue Moonlight Buddha three times, he successfully alarmed the Blue-robed Goddess, who lowered her eyes and understood his predicament in the human world.
The Queen calculated that after another 3,962 years, his five elements calamity would dissipate on its own, and he would cultivate the peerless magical power of the innate five-colored divine light.
Li Daoxuan's face turned green at that moment.
In the year 3962, the day lilies have become cold.
At his request, Lady Green once again used up her magical power and deduced a method to break the calamity, which was to use non-five-element objects to smash the stone body and destroy the balance within it.
Moreover, the person who can break the calamity must be a mortal with extremely high luck.
Because anyone with cultivation who approaches Li Daoxuan will be aroused by the five-colored divine light that automatically protects the master, and then will be directly taken in.
Mortals are too weak and pose no threat, so they will not arouse the five-colored divine light.
And the extremely high luck can help the mortal pick up the glazed sword refined by the Lady in Green and offset the backlash caused by breaking the calamity.
Di Renjie was the chosen one.
The lady in green nodded slightly, and then her figure gradually disappeared, and her consciousness returned to Lingshan.
Li Daoxuan opened his arms, felt the gentle breeze, and looked at the magnificent mountains and rivers in the distance. The feeling of regaining freedom was so wonderful!
At this moment, he finally understood the Monkey King's feelings when he escaped from the Five Finger Mountain.
Of course, the benefits he gained from successfully breaking the calamity this time were also enormous.
The first was the cultivation of the innate five-colored divine light. This magical power was even more powerful than he had imagined. It could not only subdue enemies, but even everything in the world, including the sun, moon, mountains and rivers.
When one's cultivation reaches perfection, a five-colored divine light will appear, and the sky will be without the sun and moon, the earth will be without mountains and rivers, and the whole world will collapse.
Fighting?
Destroy the world directly!
As long as one's cultivation level does not exceed his level by one major realm, and one does not have any sage treasures such as the Tai Chi Diagram or the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, there is almost no room for resistance under the five-colored divine light.
Once they are absorbed by the five-colored divine light, they will slowly fall into a coma, and finally lose all the power to resist and become at the mercy of others.
This is the innate magical power of the Peacock King Bodhisattva, which once made him the number one person under the saints.
In addition to cultivating this magical power, Li Daoxuan was also pleasantly surprised to find that under the polishing of the Five Elements Tribulation, all the innate Taiyin Qi and Sister Yu's lotus essence hidden in his body were successfully refined.
"Eight-Nine Profound Art" breaks through to the fifth level!
"Huangting Ancient Scripture" is about to break through to the sixth level, only the last step is left!
Li Daoxuan estimated that once he broke through to the sixth level, he would be at the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and once he broke through to the seventh level, he would be at the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Of course, after decades of seclusion and hard practice, he was indeed a little tired.
"Huaiying, thank you for helping me break the calamity."
Li Daoxuan walked over, took out the Three Realms Gourd from his waist, took a sip of the fine wine, and said with a smile: "Although I am a demon, I am definitely not an ungrateful person. Tell me what you wish for, and I can help you realize it."
After returning to the human world, he decided not to reveal his true identity for the time being.
Once the name Li Daoxuan gets out, it will cause such a huge shock that no one knows how many people will go crazy looking for him.
If it was an old friend, it would be fine, but what I’m afraid of is those strangers who kowtow to you and ask to be your master when they see you.
He is most afraid of trouble.
Moreover, temporarily hiding his identity would help him get a better look at the current Tang Dynasty without seeing a bunch of people putting on a show.
"Kong Xuan..."
Di Renjie pondered the name and said, "Brother Kong, can you help me investigate a case?"
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up. Here he comes. He is indeed the legendary detective with Conan's qualities. Wherever he goes, there are strange and major cases.
"Tell me about it."
Di Renjie summarized the conversation and then told the story of the herbalist.
Finally, he looked worried and said, "When I was the chief judge of the Dali Temple, I read some dusty case files and found that similar cases of insanity had occurred in various places, but officials were unable to solve the cases, and they all became unsolved cases in the end."
"I suspect that this case involves ghosts, gods or monks, so I would like to ask Brother Kong to lend me a hand."
Everyone has his own expertise. He is good at investigating cases, but if it involves ghosts and gods, Di Renjie will have a headache. Even if you find out the truth in the end, you may not be able to catch the culprit.
Therefore, it is very important to have someone who is proficient in the art of ghosts and gods around you.
Although Brother Kong is a demon, he can be enlightened by the national teacher, which shows that he is a good demon. Di Renjie doesn't know what his cultivation level is, but judging from the movement just now, he should not be weak.
If he could get his help, Di Renjie would be confident that he could find out the real culprit in the case.
Li Daoxuan never expected that the herbalist who watched him play chess that year would actually encounter such a thing. He directly used Zi Wei Dou Shu to try to figure out the truth behind the scenes.
However, the secrets of heaven were in chaos, as if they had been concealed by someone using Taoism in advance.
"Haha, that's pretty clever."
Li Daoxuan became interested, as this showed that this matter indeed involved ghosts and gods, and that there was also a person with considerable Taoist skills among them.
Quite interesting.
He lifted Di Renjie's shoulders, and the void around them shook with ripples. In an instant, the two of them left the top of Wulong Mountain and came to a room in a Taoist temple.
It is the crime scene.
The body had been sent to the coroner, but the bloodstains on the ground were still there, a deep dark red color, exuding an inexplicable chill.
Di Renjie was shocked and asked, "Kong, Brother Kong, how did you know it was here?"
He never mentioned this Taoist temple.
Li Daoxuan turned his head to look at him, smiled faintly, and said: "Yes, how should I know, unless..."
His voice was a little deep.
"I am the murderer."
