Volume 2: World of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio Chapter 15 Return to Uncle Nine’s world?
Guanyin Temple!
Jiale was moved when he heard this, and the Maoshan Six Trigrams were activated. After some calculations, he suddenly laughed.
"Let's go together . Let's go together. I haven't had a good look around since I came back. It's a good opportunity for me to go out for a walk."
The hexagram indicates an ominous sign. If other Taoists thought it was not suitable to travel, it would be different for Jiale. However, it was different for Jiale. Over the years, ever since he learned the Maoshan Six Hexagrams, he basically read one hexagram every day to predict good and bad fortune, and he had gained some experience.
There are many kinds of bad omens. For example, the bad omen Jiale has now means that Jiale will encounter evil spirits when he goes out today. However, the bad omen is not to the point of 100% death. It means that if he encounters evil spirits, Jiale can still deal with them, which is very spiritual.
For other people, evil spirits are very bad, but for him, does that count? Of course not. For Jiale, evil spirits are just experience treasures, the more the better. Of course, those that are beyond the level do not count.
Sun Zichu and Wu Baoer were also a little surprised when they heard this. You know, since Jiale returned to Jinling, he basically didn't go out of the house except for their wedding preparations. Today, the sun rose from the west, and Jiale wanted to go out with them. This was a great thing. In fact, they had long wanted Jiale to go out more often.
But Jiale's authority in the Sun family was too great. Even Wu Jun said that Jiale had changed a lot after he came back this time, like a young tiger out of a cage, a fish turning into a dragon. After Wu Baoer got married, Wu Jun gave her a good treatment and told her that after getting married, she must respect Jiale and not be presumptuous. This made the couple dare not say much in front of Jiale.
"Okay, we've been wanting to take our brother out for a walk for a long time."
When Master Sun traveled, his travels were naturally extraordinary. Wansheng drove the car, and Zhang Long and Zhao Hu followed. Sun Zichu and Wu Baoer also stopped walking and took a car instead.
The city of Jinling is still flourishing, and the disputes in the outside world seem to have no impact on the city of Jinling at all.
The rebellion of the three kings in the north has become more and more intense, like a raging fire and dry wood. Youzhou has been completely occupied, and the Jizhou defense line is like a meat grinder, devouring countless lives.
Liangzhou and Qingzhou were also half occupied. The three kings were all kings who followed Emperor Qian to start the rebellion. They were granted titles of kings with different surnames and their bases were in Youzhou, Liangzhou and Qingzhou. After so many generations of accumulation, their bases were already intertwined, with branches and leaves spread all over the world. Youzhou, Qingzhou and Liangzhou were almost completely infiltrated.
Now the Emperor Daqian has been making one stupid move after another, and has started to reduce the power of the princes. If he was as wise and brave as Emperor Taizu Qian, it would be fine, but he doesn't have the ability himself, but he wants to accomplish such a great thing. How can the three kings of different surnames agree to it? Not to mention that it is difficult to give up the power in their hands, just based on their understanding of the current emperor's mean and ungrateful character, they will not give up power easily.
In this case, there is no choice but to rebel.
Daqian's military was lax, and once the three kings rebelled, half of the north would be occupied. Now it was too late for the Emperor of Daqian to regret.
The three kings, seeing the opportunity, were already thinking about dividing the world.
The White Lotus Sect in the south was delighted when they saw the chaos in the north and the internal armies of Daqian were gathering in the north. They moved out of the dark and started to attack Yizhou, Yangzhou and Jingzhou from Jiaozhou, and they made considerable progress.
Jiale looked at Daqian's fortune and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The chaos at the end of this dynasty is rare, with hidden dragons rising up everywhere. Not only the King of Youzhou who has already transformed into a dragon, but even the King of Liangzhou and the King of Qingzhou are almost finished with their transformation. And in the north there are not only these three hidden dragons, but also two more whose energy is restrained and has not yet emerged. In the end, the ownership of the north is still unknown.
The fortune of the South has never been as good as that of the North since ancient times, but there are also many potential dragons, as many as three.
There are eight hidden dragons in the land of Kyushu. With the backlash of the dragons, Daqian may be in real danger this time.
For Buddhism and Taoism, the chaos in the world is hard to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. No matter whether it is a king with a deep foundation or a king of grass-roots, they all know how powerful Buddhism and Taoism are. No matter how they wreak havoc in the cities on earth, they basically do not harm the temples and Taoist temples.
Some monks and Taoists who wanted to achieve quick success and take shortcuts had already walked out of the mountain gate and went out into the world to compete for the dragon.
The fight for the dragon in the world is a huge gamble for cultivators. If they win, they will ascend to heaven in one step; if they lose, they will die.
Luck is extremely important for cultivators. As long as their luck is strong enough, the achievements that others need to struggle for thousands or even millions of years to achieve can be achieved in just a few decades for them, or even shorter.
For example, those cultivators who are keen on fighting for dragons, after they go down the mountain, they find someone they think is capable of accomplishing the task, and then assist him wholeheartedly, placing all their luck on the ambitions of such a person. If this person really unifies the sky and dragons in the end and turns from a dragon into a dragon, with his flourishing luck, the cultivator will be able to obtain countless luck, which will allow him to break through his cultivation and ascend to immortality step by step.
On the contrary, if the people they assist fail to accomplish their goals, they will eventually be harmed by their bad luck and die.
However, many cultivators do not actually have a choice. They see that their lifespans are coming to an end, or they are stuck at a bottleneck for hundreds of years and are unable to break through. Since the road ahead is uncertain, why not give it a try? Losing is terrible, but what if they win?
Therefore, if you look closely at Daqian today, you will find that there are many more monks and Taoists in various places. Some of these monks and Taoists are independent practitioners, but there are also many who come from immortal sects. This shows how tempting it is to fight for the throne in this world.
Qianhe is actually practicing this way, but in Uncle Jiu's world, the luck has collapsed and the human dynasty is already in name only. This way of luck has no future, otherwise, with Qianhe's perseverance and talent, her achievements might not necessarily be worse than those of Uncle Jiu and Simu.
"I don't know if Uncle Qianhe has broken through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm."
Thinking of this, Jiale couldn't help but murmur that he had been in this world for about a year. If the time ratio in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio and the world of Uncle Jiu was the same, Qianhe might not have completed the breakthrough yet.
The world of Uncle Nine.
It has been ten years since Jiale’s ascension.
Ten years is not a long time for a cultivator, but for Uncle Jiu's world, it was a decade of disasters.
Ever since Jia Le left Uncle Jiu's world, Uncle Jiu's world has been like opening Pandora's box, with all kinds of monsters and demons appearing one after another. Although these monsters and demons are not very strong, they are very deadly to ordinary people, so all the major immortal sects have begun to organize demon-fighting.
In the third year after Jiale left, the Yin-Yang order was finally hit by the end of the world again. Yin and Yang were reversed, and the spatial cracks between the underworld and the human world became more and more. The major immortal sects only then realized that those demons and monsters had originally escaped from the underworld. The underworld's ability to control ghosts declined again, and the pressure on the human world naturally became greater and greater.
After this change in the underworld, the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire Uncle Jiu's world dropped again, making cultivation even more difficult.
The old Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu died, his soul returned to the underworld, and he became a Yin God. The young Heavenly Master Zhang Zhiwei began to break through the Yin God realm, but was affected by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and failed directly. At this time, all the immortals realized that the upper limit of Uncle Jiu's world has now dropped from the peak of the Refining God realm to the peak of the Transformation God realm. In other words, future cultivators will no longer be able to break through the Refining God realm.
Not only can cultivators no longer break through the Yin Shen realm, those who have already broken through can no longer stay in Uncle Jiu's world.
Although the two great elders of Maoshan could survive for another hundred years with the longevity pills made from the meat ganoderma, after this incident, they could only retreat to the Dukong Realm and could not come out into the world.
Zi Yin thought about it and decided to let Uncle Jiu and Simu be in charge of the affairs of the mountain gate, with the eight vein leaders, four elders and the masters of the five halls cooperating.
No one else objected to this order. Jia Le had only been away for three years, but his prestige was still there. Even though Uncle Jiu's cultivation was not the highest, it was still convincing.
In the next seven years, Uncle Jiu led the disciples of the mountain sect to subdue demons and monsters in the mountains, trying his best to maintain this collapsed world.
Qianli Town.
Kunlun chased a ghost general all the way to Qianli Town. At this time, after ten years of practice, Kunlun was still some distance away from the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. The difficulties of the Dharma Ending World made it difficult for Kunlun, who possessed a divine body, to practice. However, Kunlun's divine body greatly enhanced his combat power. Even in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, some people in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm were no match for Kunlun.
What's more, Kunlun has a white ape to help.
Ten years have passed, and after leaving Jiale's protection, Kunlun has grown up and become independent. Kunlun is the kind of person who appears foolish despite being wise, but he is not stupid. Especially after practicing, his spiritual intelligence has been opened. Now, among the teams that go down from Mount Mao to exorcise demons, there is one team led by Kunlun.
Kunlun's reputation gradually grew as it repeatedly subdued demons and eliminated evil.
In addition, at the last Maoshan Mountain Lord's succession ceremony, Kunlun broke through and his divine body shone brightly. Now, Kunlun has become the brightest star after Jiale, the little Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain and the Buddhist disciples.
This time, Kunlun targeted a ghost general in the middle stage of the ghost general realm. However, when the ghost general saw that he was no match for his opponent, he simply fled and only stopped when he came to Qianli Town.
Just looking at the disappearing ghost general, Kunlun also lost his breath and could not find him directly.
Slowly walking into Qianli Town, Kunlun looked at the people in front of him and inexplicably felt that they were a little weird. They were like zombies. Yes, these people gave Kunlun the feeling of being zombies.
With Kunlun's ability, he could naturally tell that these people were still alive and had not been subjected to any means, but at this moment, they seemed to have lost all their emotions. If he did not know that he had come to a town, Kunlun would have suspected that he had entered the White Horse Temple and saw a group of Buddhist disciples without any emotions.
Shaked his head.
Kunlun did not step forward to ask what was going on. Since it was not the work of demons, it was not within his jurisdiction. However, such a strange thing still made Kunlun more vigilant.
As they walked along, a temple appeared in front of Kunlun.
Jiangfu Temple!
The Jiangfu Temple in front of us, although not big, nor magnificent, but the feeling it gives to Kunlun is no worse than those temples that have been preserved for hundreds or thousands of years. In the words of Buddhism, it is as if the Buddha has arrived.
But before this, he had never heard of the name Jiangfu Temple. If it was really a famous family, it should not be so unknown.
Since there is such a fairy gate, Kunlun will naturally go in and ask if anyone has seen the ghost general. He has almost searched the entire Qianli Town, but still has not found the existence of the ghost general. Now the only place left to look for is Jiangfu Temple.
Hoarse!
Slowly pushing open the door, there was indeed no lively scene. The empty temple courtyard was in stark contrast to the feeling the temple had given Kunlun before.
"Anyone there?"
Seeing no one respond, Kunlun walked all the way inside until he arrived at the main hall, where he saw a figure appear.
A graceful figure appeared in front of Kunlun. The figure was praying sincerely to the Bodhisattva statue in front of her. In Kunlun's eyes, the graceful figure at this moment was as holy as the living Bodhisattva.
I have to say, at this moment, Kunlun's heart twitched violently.
"I don't know where the friend comes from?"
A voice came out of the mouth of the graceful figure. When it reached Kunlun's ears, it was like a solitary orchid in a valley, causing Kunlun to become dazed.
Shaked his head.
"Fellow Daoist, I came here to chase a ghost general. I wonder if you can see a ghost general falling."
"Ghost General!"
The graceful figure slowly turned around, and an extremely beautiful face appeared in front of Kunlun. For some reason, Kunlun instantly let down all his defenses at this moment.
"Yes, Ghost General."
Kunlun spoke seriously, but the nun opposite was also laughing happily.
"Then I wonder which one you are talking about?"
As soon as the words fell, the scene in the entire Jiangfu Temple suddenly changed. The Jiangfu Temple, which was illuminated by the Buddha's light just a moment ago, instantly turned into a ghost domain with white bones. Countless ghosts appeared in front of Kunlun. There were no less than seven or eight ghost generals alone. Just like the nun said, he really could choose any one he wanted.
Feeling his own strength draining away, Kunlun felt as if he was in a quagmire. He finally realized that he had unknowingly fallen into a ghost cave.
The nun opposite still had the image of a holy Bodhisattva, which was out of tune with the ghosts around her, but these ghosts just respected this nun.
The ghosts that were obviously ferocious and terrifying, surprisingly, didn't seem so scary when compared with this nun.
And the ghost general that Kunlun had just been chasing was one of them.
"Who are you, Taoist friend? Why would you associate with ghosts?"
Kunlun no longer dared to have any other thoughts while secretly accumulating strength, and was ready to take action at any time. This ghost domain was so terrifying and weird that it was actually devouring his strength all the time. Moreover, as time went on, endless shackles would fall on him. If this continued, he would have to kneel down without the other party even having to do anything.
"Who am I?"
When the nun spoke, there was a hint of reminiscence in her eyes, as if she remembered something. Deep in her memory, there was always a figure wearing Taoist clothes, just like Kunlun today, but at that time she was following that Taoist, but now she was standing opposite another Taoist.
Moreover, she didn't know whether she would have to stand opposite the Taoist priest in the future.
"You look a lot like an old friend of mine. Unfortunately, you are not him. Since you are here today, you can only blame your bad luck. Don't worry, after you die, you will become one of them, bathed in the Buddha's light, and one day, you will go to the Western Paradise with me."
As the voice fell, the nun who was holy and inviolable in Kunlun's eyes turned into a pile of bones in an instant. Then, countless ghosts in the ghost realm rushed towards Kunlun. The ghost realm, which was originally just a little gloomy, was instantly filled with murderous intent.
boom!
The giant spirit body was activated, and countless shackles on Kunlun were broken instantly. A powerful divine power burst out. Facing the attack of countless ghosts, Kunlun was not afraid at all. He and the white ape stood in front and behind. Although there were many ghosts, they could not hurt them at all.
The bones are used as soldiers, and the invasion of ghosts is just the beginning. Soon, piles of corpses and bones begin to appear on the ground. Then the bones on the ground begin to form complete skeletons, turning into bone soldiers, and attack Kunlun.
There is no end to killing them, and no end to looking at them.
As time went by, the bones transformed from the nun were still standing there, but Kunlun could not break out of the sea of corpses and bones to capture the king.
Kunlun's face was solemn, and he began to get anxious. The time for the explosion of his divine body was limited. If he could not kill the nun and break the ghost realm in front of him within this limited time, his divine power would be exhausted. By then, the shackles would be lowered again, and his magic power would be devoured bit by bit. He would probably have no choice but to be slaughtered.
The nun on the opposite side obviously had the same idea.
This is not a solution, something must change!
Kunlun was thinking in his heart, preparing for a desperate fight. It must be said that this was probably the biggest crisis Kunlun had encountered since his practice. The last time was in Pingshan, but this time Kunlun didn't have Jiale to save him.
Ask for divine magic!
It was indeed not in vain that Kunlun became Simu's disciple. Not only did he receive many instructions on other matters of cultivation, but most importantly, Kunlun learned Simu's most proud art of summoning gods.
It’s just that Kunlun is superstitious about the enormous power in his hands. He has never used any magic to summon spirits, and there is no spiritual response on his body.
But now that things have come to this, Kunlun can only give it a try.
"Please ask the gods to possess you, exorcise the demons, and do it as ordered!"
The world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
Jia Le was sitting in the carriage, looking at the magnificent scenery of Jinling in front of him, and his heart suddenly palpitated. After careful sensing, he found that there was a ghost domain in front of him, surrounded by countless ghost skeletons. The huge figure of Kunlun was in it, and standing outside the sea of corpses and bones, watching all this coldly, was actually a skeleton. However, in the eyes of the God of the Underworld, there was no illusion.
That somewhat familiar face appeared in front of Jiale, how could it be her?
The Kunlun Mirror fluctuated, and the spiritual response that Jiale left on Kunlun became a coordinate and a connection. The spiritual energy in the mirror was mobilized frantically, and the Wood Spirit Pearl was running at a high speed. Jiale's heart moved, and a divine thought instantly appeared in Uncle Jiu's world under the guidance of the Kunlun Mirror. This situation made Jiale's eyes flash with surprise. The Kunlun Mirror could actually be used in this way.
boom!
In the ghost realm, as the summoning talisman in Kunlun's hand was activated, a powerful aura suddenly burst out from Kunlun's body, followed by a divine thought that descended with a bang.
Bai Gu looked at Kunlun in front of him in shock. Such a familiar aura! No, it couldn't be him.
Bai Gu's clear state of mind at this moment was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake.
Even though she secretly told herself that the person couldn't possibly be here, Bai Gu couldn't help but change her skeleton appearance and turned back into that graceful figure. Subconsciously, she didn't want that person to see her skeleton face.
“So this is what it feels like to be possessed by a god!”
Jia Le was controlling Kunlun's body, feeling somewhat curious. He had always summoned gods to possess his body before, but this was the first time he had possessed someone else's body. However, this giant divine body was truly extraordinary. If Jia Le had also possessed a giant divine body, he would probably have been able to withstand even more power. After using the summoning technique, how much power the ancestor could use depended entirely on the physical strength of the person who summoned the gods.
The bigger and stronger the jar is, the more power it can hold. At that time, although Jiale had good aptitude, in terms of physical strength, at the same level, Jiale really couldn't say that he was stronger than Kunlun .
Unfortunately, it was only his divine thought that descended, and this world seemed to have undergone drastic changes. Jiale could only use the strength of the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm at most. If he used more, he would feel endangered. It was an instinctive warning from this world, letting Jiale know that this world could only withstand this much power at most. Any more would cause irreparable damage to the world.
This made Jiale sigh. He thought he had traveled to a world at the end of the law. After he left, this world became more and more miserable. After the founding of the country, spirits were not allowed. Jiale finally understood these words at this moment. The degeneration of the world was still going on. Perhaps in a few decades, the spiritual energy of this world would completely dissipate. By then, let alone the Spirit Transformation Realm, even the Qi Refining Realm would probably not exist.
Perhaps when that day really comes, spiritual practice will completely withdraw from the stage of history. Martial arts will continue to shine, but it will be very limited. If people want to gain power, the poor can only rely on mutation and the rich can only rely on technology.
He shook his head. It was useless to think so much. At least with his current strength, he could not interfere with Uncle Jiu's operations.
Moreover, the time ratio between Uncle Jiu's world and the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio is so different, ten to one, one year in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio and ten years in the world of Uncle Jiu. If it really goes on like this, I'm afraid that those people I once knew will gradually disappear in a few years. Thinking of this, Jia Le began to get a little anxious. If possible, he still wanted Uncle Jiu, Simu and others to live forever.
Looking at the nun opposite him, Jiale could never have imagined that the first person he saw when he returned to Uncle Jiu's world would be her!
