Volume 2: World of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio Chapter 34: Painted Wall
The Maoshan Six Trigrams arise at will. Fortune is actually a major component of luck. If the fortune is bleak, there will be no hindrance at all when Jiale calculates it.
Um!
This unlucky boy is called Fusheng. He is nine years old, but he is an orphan who eats at other people’s homes. However, there are not so many kind-hearted people in Jinling City. Those who eat at other people’s homes are actually beggars.
His father died in an accident before he was born. When Fusheng was born, his mother died of complications during childbirth. Fusheng was raised by his grandparents, but he was not really grown up. His grandfather died when he was three, and his grandmother died when he was six. Fusheng, at the age of nine, had been a beggar for three years.
What a bad luck!
After reading Fusheng's fate, Jiale couldn't help but sigh. In fact, the so-called "unlucky star" does not represent a certain star in the sky, but is a name . These people have such strong fate that the people around them are somewhat restrained, and premature death is common, just like Fusheng, whose father died before he was born and his mother died just after he was born.
Three years as grandfather , another three years as grandmother. Some people don’t believe in fate, but sometimes, some destinies really force you to believe in them.
Over the past three years, almost everyone related to Fusheng has died one after another. At this time, everyone stays away from Fusheng, for fear of being contaminated by him and bringing bad luck.
However, the Immortal Fate Order is just a spiritual weapon after all, and it cannot see through any fate. Although Fu Sheng has little fortune, he is a sign of good fortune. As long as he embarks on the path of cultivation, his luck will flourish. Although his fortune is thin, his luck is strong. In addition, he has excellent qualifications for cultivation. He is a rare seedling for cultivation. Even Sun Qing is inferior to him.
Well, to put it simply, it is the template of the protagonist in novels who rises from desperate situations.
"Zhang Long, bring these four people here. You will continue to hold the Immortal Fate Order. Continue to do this in the entire Yangzhou area."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Long hurriedly agreed. More than two years have passed, and Zhang Long at this time is no longer the same Zhang Long as before. Not only has his ability to handle affairs improved a lot, but he is also well versed in how to handle affairs around Jia Le. No need to ask, just do his job with all his heart.
Zhulong County!
This county does not belong to Jinling County, but is the county seat of Jinling County near Lingyang County. In the previous dynasty, this county was granted by the king to a general named Zhulong. This general actually changed the name of the county to his own name. After the Qian Dynasty occupied the country, it did not change it and it has always been called Zhulong County.
There is an ancient temple in this county, named "Fo Xin Temple!"
However, an accident occurred at the Foxin Temple thirty years ago. Now, only ruins remain in the entire temple, and there are no monks.
Just like Lanruo Temple a few years ago.
Jia Le stood in front of the Foxin Temple for a long time, with a smile on his face. It was a familiar smell. It turned out that the Foxin Temple was just like the Lanruo Temple, and had suffered from the evil spirit.
The Buddha's Heart Temple should also be suppressing the trolls, just like the Lanruo Temple. The trolls broke through the seal and everyone in the temple lost their lives. However, from the smell, Jiale knew that the troll must still be in the temple. The Buddha's Heart Temple must have used some means. Although the entire temple was destroyed, their deaths were not in vain. The trolls were suppressed again.
Walking into it, although the temple is large, many places are already dilapidated, only the main hall is still intact.
Entering the main hall, there was actually an old monk sitting in front of the Buddha, chanting Buddhist scriptures, which made this originally dilapidated Buddhist temple still look majestic and precious.
The old monk had a kind face, showing no joy or sadness. When Jia Le entered the main hall, the old monk did not even glance at him, as if he did not know Jia Le had come in.
Looking at the old monk in front of him, Jiale couldn't help but sigh.
"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, now that I have arrived, I can go home with peace of mind."
It was strange that as soon as Jia Le finished speaking, the old monk disappeared from in front of the Buddha. Looking carefully, if it were an ordinary person, he would probably think that he was seeing things.
Buddhism believes that one flower is one world, one leaf is one withering and flourishing, and that everything is like a dream, an illusion, and also real.
In the eyes of the monk, nothing in the world before them is illusory, and nothing is real either, it is just subjective.
Although the monks in the Buddha Heart Temple died, their determination to subdue the devil remained unchanged. Although the giant demon was suppressed, it will eventually come out of the world. Therefore, these monks actually left behind a magical power, which is what Jia Le saw just now. The old monk chanted Buddha's name, and the seal would not fall. The devil will be destroyed one day, or maybe he was waiting for a destined person, such as Jia Le.
The price of such supernatural powers is not small. As long as the supernatural powers are not removed, they will never be liberated. Not only will they not achieve the right result, it will also be difficult for them to reincarnate.
Although Jiale and Guanyin Temple now have grievances, Jiale has no prejudice against Buddhism. The so-called grievances are nothing but the result of their own plans. In the eyes of monks, there is no right or wrong, as long as the heart of Taoism is upright and the benefits are gained.
After entering Taoism, Jiale did not think that all Taoists were good. Among Buddhists, for example, Ikkyu, the monks of Lanruo Temple and the Bukshin Temple in front of him, Ikkyu lived with them day and night, needless to say, Lanruo Temple and Bukshin Temple died in the pursuit of destroying demons, so they can be said to have great moral character.
Without the old monk, the evil spirit in the main hall could no longer be suppressed and actually began to spread in the main hall.
Jiale looked towards the right side of the main hall, where the evil energy came from.
There I saw a statue of Zhigong with his hands and feet shaped like bird claws.
The murals on the walls on both sides of the statue are very exquisite, and the figures on them are lifelike. On the east wall, there are many celestial maidens scattering flowers, among them there is a girl with long hair, holding a flower in her hand and smiling, her cherry mouth seems to be about to speak, and her eyes seem to be moving.
After staring for a long time, I couldn't help but feel my mind wavering.
“It’s actually a magic weapon!”
Jiale was also a little surprised. He thought that the Buddhist Temple had sealed the troll with some kind of seal. But now it seems that he was wrong. The monks of the Buddhist Temple actually locked the troll in a magic weapon. This magic weapon should be of a high level. Space magic weapons are rare, not to mention this kind of magic weapon, which is almost a magic weapon of its own. It is infinitely close to the level of a spiritual treasure.
Suddenly Jiale felt his body floating, as if riding on clouds, and was actually moving towards the mural. He did not resist and let the mural lead him straight into it.
The scene in front of him changed suddenly. The dilapidated Buddha Heart Temple was completely new. The halls and pavilions were stacked one after another. It didn't look like the scene in the human world, but it looked like the grand scene of the Western Paradise. An old monk was preaching the Dharma, and many monks were listening to him. The old monk was the one Jia Le saw in the hall before, and the other monks were probably monks from the Buddha Heart Temple.
The Buddha's light enveloped the entire hall and pressed towards one place. Jiale couldn't help but look over there.
At this moment, a hand grabbed Jiale's sleeve. Jiale turned around and saw that it was the girl with long hair that he had seen when he was viewing the mural before.
There was no demonic energy on the girl. Jia Le's heart moved. He didn't even feel how the girl appeared behind him. If she wanted to attack him, she would have succeeded. This magic weapon was really a bit strange. In the eyes of the God of the Underworld, the girl was full of spiritual charm. Jia Le suddenly understood.
At this moment, the scene in front of Jiale had changed and he actually came to a room.
The girl seemed to want to say something to Jiale, but suddenly she heard a fierce clanging sound of leather boots walking outside the door, accompanied by the rustling sound of ropes and locks. Jiale looked in the direction of the sound and saw a god-like man wearing iron armor, with a black face as black as lacquer, holding ropes and a sledgehammer in his hands, and his strength was no less than that of a god-transforming realm.
And this was just the beginning. Not long after, many more armored gods appeared. They were all dressed in the same way and had similar strengths. Jiale was a little surprised when he saw these armored gods. He had seen some puppets, but there were not many puppets that were so exquisitely made. This magic weapon world was not the real world, but just an illusion. Otherwise, it could not be changed at will.
But things in the illusion are not necessarily fake, such as the girl in front of you and these armored generals.
When the divine eyes swept over, the jade buildings and golden palaces in front of him disappeared, and in their place was a gloomy hell with countless demons imprisoned in the prison. Jia Le's eyes lit up when he saw it. This magic weapon should be used by the Buddhist Heart Temple to imprison demons. The so-called illusion was just a cover-up.
Those iron-armored generals are the jailers. There are not only iron-armored generals at the level of Transformation of the Spirit, but also silver-armored generals at the level of Refining Spirit, and gold-armored generals at the level of Return to Void. The place where Jiale is located is the very center of the entire magic weapon space.
"Sir, what are you looking at? Those guards are very powerful. If you are discovered, you will be beaten to death."
Um!
A charming voice came from beside Jiale, which made Jiale exclaim in surprise. Looking carefully, the girl with long hair and full of spiritual charm had changed. Her originally pure spirit was also tainted by evil spirit. Her eyes were full of charm, as if she wanted to pull Jiale into some unknown realm and make him sink.
Fortunately, we arrived in time. If we had arrived a little later, these demons would have escaped from the restraints of the magic weapons.
However, these demons were also unlucky as they happened to run into Jiale. Now Jiale was using the fetal transformation to hide his cultivation aura and with the help of the Kunlun Mirror, no one in this world could see through Jiale's depth. These demons were imprisoned in the magic weapon, so it was already difficult for them to detect their evil thoughts, and it was simply impossible for them to see through Jiale's true colors.
Without saying anything more, he reached out his hands towards the breasts of the woman with dangly hair. Seeing this, the woman with dangly hair immediately giggled, her eyes were as charming as silk, and she was very attractive. However, just when the woman with dangly hair was feeling proud of herself, she felt that the touch was not right, and the situation was even more wrong. After Jiale covered her body, he actually passed a force along Jiale's hand into her body.
The evil thought sensed something was wrong and tried to escape from the body of the woman with long hair. Unfortunately, it was too late. With Jia Le's current attainments in the Maoshan Sealing Technique, even a Hedao-level demon in its prime would have to surrender for a few seconds. What's more, what invaded the woman's body was just an evil thought. Under the premise that Jia Le was not tempted, it had no power at all.
"You, who are you?"
Seeing that she couldn't escape, the woman with long hair was filled with fear. At this moment, she no longer dared to regard Jia Le as an ordinary person. He was clearly a pig pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
When the evil thoughts sensed that someone had entered the magic weapon, they immediately became excited. Although it would take them a few months to infiltrate the entire magic weapon and escape, they would be willing to leave early if they could rely on Jiale's help.
Therefore, the evil thoughts used the same method as before to infect the girl with long hair with evil thoughts, preparing to seduce Jia Le and make Jia Le recognize the magic weapon as the master, thereby inducing Jia Le to release them all.
But who could have imagined that Jiale, who looked harmless, was actually such a ruthless character who was pretending to be a pig but was actually a tiger.
"Well! Guess what! Anyway, I can kill demons like you who are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with one bite each."
Seeing that the ban was effective, Jiale relaxed a lot. This evil thought was not a simple stuff, but a demon that was beyond the fairyland like a giant tree. It was just that most of its abilities were sealed. Now it was locked in a magic weapon, so it was difficult to exert too much strength. The evil thought could only stimulate evil intentions. If it didn't want to seduce Jiale, it would not be easy for Jiale to get this evil thought out.
With regard to this level of evil thoughts, Jiale had already thought of the benefits that the giant tree evil thoughts would bring to him. It would directly support him in advancing the Sun God Body to the point where the six suns would rise simultaneously.
Now the evil thoughts in front of him are almost the same. As long as the Nine Nether Divine Lotus absorbs them, Jia Le's confidence in passing the tribulation will naturally reach 100%. And after the Nine Nether Divine Lotus absorbs this evil thought, it may be able to produce seven lotuses. By then, Jia Le will return to Maoshan and deal with the demons on the eighth floor of the Demon Subduing Tower on the Yin Yang Peak. It will be another powerful energy bead, and he will have some confidence to break through the Hedao realm.
What's more, in addition to this troll, there are many ordinary demons in this magic weapon, which are also a very considerable amount of energy beads.
“One at a time!”
Jiale's sinister smile and terrifying tone made the troll, a member of the demon clan, a little scared. It has always been them who eat people, but now this man wants to eat him. Is he a demon, or is Jiale a demon?
With the Nine Netherworld Divine Lotus in hand, Jia Le was ready to extract the evil thoughts from the woman with drooping hair.
Seeing the Nine Nether Divine Lotus, the evil thoughts became afraid instinctively.
"No, wait, whatever you want, I can satisfy you as long as you let me go."
Jiale couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this. These demons were good at fighting, but their IQs were really low. He thought they were trying to trick children or ordinary people to deceive him with such words.
Without saying much, the Nine Nether Divine Lotus became excited when it smelled the evil thoughts, and the dim light actually took the initiative to cover the woman with long hair.
"ah!"
Shrouded in the dim light, Mo Nian screamed in agony. It was so painful. She didn't know how painful those people who were infected by the evil spirit were in, but she knew at this moment that the pain she was suffering must be extreme.
However, she did not have time to roar any longer, as the Nine Nether Divine Lotus had already swallowed her in one gulp. The seventh lotus, which was originally just an embryonic form, finally began to bloom as the Nine Nether Divine Lotus digested the evil thoughts.
Jiale couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this scene. He had a bright future.
The evil thoughts had been taken away, and the woman with long hair woke up suddenly. Her eyes were filled with fear, and the way she looked at Jiale was different.
"Are you Baoling? Tell me about the situation."
That's right, this woman with drooping hair is the spirit of this magic weapon. When a treasure starts out as a spiritual weapon, it will give birth to a ray of spirituality. The higher the level, the stronger the spirituality. When it becomes a magic weapon, it has already begun to generate spiritual thoughts. The higher the level of the magic weapon, the stronger the spiritual thoughts. The spiritual thoughts of some top-level magic weapons can even take shape.
For example, the woman with long hair in front of him is like this. She is the spiritual thought of this magic weapon, or half of the magic weapon spirit, because this magic weapon spirit obviously has self-awareness. She should have felt the threat and knew that if Jiale was discovered by the evil thoughts, he would be used, so she wanted to hide Jiale in advance.
However, the evil thoughts had already invaded her body, but she had not noticed it. Her actions actually helped the evil thoughts. Fortunately, it was Jiale who came, otherwise, the evil thoughts might have succeeded.
The appearance of this treasure spirit also made Jia Le have higher expectations for this magic weapon. Such a self-aware treasure spirit itself represents the essence of the treasure. This treasure must be more powerful than ordinary top-level magic weapons. I am afraid it really has the possibility of being promoted to a spiritual treasure. If one day, this magic weapon is promoted to a spiritual treasure, the woman with long hair can also truly evolve into a treasure spirit, which is the so-called weapon spirit.
You know, a weapon spirit, even the weakest one, with the power of a magic treasure, can also exert the strength of a true immortal. In other words, owning a magic treasure is equivalent to holding the combat power of a true immortal. Of course, many magic treasures do not have weapon spirits. It all depends on the mood of the weapon refiner who refines the magic treasure.
Ancient weapon refiners believed that the production of weapon spirits by spiritual treasures would affect their use, so they did not advocate this method of refining. It was only in modern times that the method of refining weapon spirits became popular.
Just like the wooden spirit bead in Jiale's hand, it has no spirit and is a legacy passed down from ancient times.
The woman with drooping hair was horrified when her true identity was exposed. Not only did Mo Nian misjudge Jia Le, she also misjudge Jia Le. If she had known that Jia Le was so powerful, she would never have shown up on her own initiative.
The magic weapon is now ownerless, but the woman with long hair has already formed her consciousness. Naturally, she doesn't want the magic weapon to be controlled by others and her own destiny to be controlled by others. Once the magic weapon is upgraded to a spiritual weapon, she can use the spiritual weapon to transform into a human form. Then, she will be free.
But it was too late to say anything now. When Jiale sealed the evil thoughts, he also sealed up the woman with drooping hair. Even in the woman's territory, there was no way the woman with drooping hair could escape. Instead, her life and death was in Jiale's hands.
"Um!"
Jiale also sensed the woman's ulterior motive, but this was not surprising. This was why the ancient weapon refiners were unwilling to allow spiritual treasures to produce weapon spirits. Now that this magic weapon has not yet been upgraded to a spiritual treasure, the woman with drooping hair already had this idea. If this magic weapon is really upgraded to a spiritual treasure, I'm afraid she would even dare to rebel.
As Jiale made a nasal sound, the aura on his body suddenly burst out and pressed towards the woman with long hair. This kind of magic weapon is nothing before it becomes a spiritual treasure. Let alone exerting the power of a true immortal, it would be good to have the strength of the Void Refinement Realm to control the magic weapon. What's more, this magic weapon does not look like a specialized magic weapon.
Feeling Jia Le's power, the woman with long hair finally realized the situation.
"Master, please show some mercy. Please put away your magical power. I will tell you right away. Right away."
The woman with long hair no longer dared to keep it. It turned out that the name of this magic weapon was: Diagram of Karma and Society.
The Karma and Society Map is the treasure of the Buddha's Heart Temple. After thousands of years of sacrifice and refinement in the Buddha's Heart Temple, it has reached the level of a top-level magic weapon. It is only one step away from being promoted to a spiritual treasure. If there were no problems with the Buddha's Heart Temple, the Karma and Society Map would surely be successfully promoted in another thousand years.
And this Karma Society Map is also the prison where the Buddha Heart Temple holds demons. Before, it was used to hold demons from the human world, and the monks of the Buddha Heart Temple would even refine demons to obtain nutrients for the Karma Society Map. But later, when the demon calamity broke out, the demons were difficult to destroy and could only be sealed. So the Karma Society Map became a prison for the demons.
Now, tens of thousands of demons are imprisoned in this Karma State Map, which is almost the same as the demons sealed in Maoshan, and the quality is also acceptable.
There is also a giant demon.
Thirty years ago, the trolls escaped from the Karma Map of the State. In order to suppress the trolls, the Buddhist Heart Temple sacrificed its entire inheritance, and the Karma Map of the State fell silent.
It is indeed a top-notch magic weapon!
Jiale was also somewhat happy in his heart. This time the harvest was quite huge. Not only did he get tens of thousands of demons, but he also got a top-level magic weapon that was about to be upgraded to a spiritual treasure.
The Karma Society Map is not a specialized magic weapon. It is mainly used for defense, and can also recruit and trap people.
There is a large space for magic weapons within the Karma Society Map, which contains the mental power of the Buddha Heart Temple that has been cultivated for thousands of years. It has already formed a mature illusion space. The owner of the magic weapon can make the illusion of the magic weapon space change as he wishes, which is more real than any illusion array in the world. The demons trapped in it will sink without knowing it, and finally turn into nutrients for the Karma Society Map.
If the demons were not immortal, perhaps after digesting them, the Karma Society Map would have been advanced.
If you place the Karma Altar Map on your head, you will be protected by the magical realm and have unparalleled defense.
Looking at the woman with long hair, the old monk named this woman: Yinyuan. When the old monk was alive, she was relatively obedient. But now that the old monk is dead, she has begun to have other thoughts.
Do you want to erase the cause and effect?
The refining methods are different for a magic weapon with or without a spirit. For a magic weapon like this that has already given birth to a spirit, if the spirit is erased, the magic weapon's essence will be greatly lost, and its level may even drop, which is more or less a loss.
As if sensing Jiale's intentions, Yinyuan couldn't help but become even more frightened.
"Master, please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me."
