Look In the Mirror

  Chapter 31 Red Lotus Fire

  Sasheng Temple, Send Zen Palace.

  It is located on the side of Blood River Valley and Fire Cloud Ridge.

   With its back against the Colorless Mountain, it faces the Sutra Pavilion.

  It is far away from the five Buddhist temples of Shasheng Temple.

  It is very quiet here, only three great monks practice here.

   Follow the lonely Zen master step by step.

   Came here soon.

  Jizen Palace is not big.

   But the victory is quiet and peaceful.

  The outside is full of flowers and trees

   There are arrays around it.

   Very secretive.

  In the main hall.

   The obscure Zen master turned his back to the door.

   Knock the wooden fish in his hand.

   Hearing the footsteps of the two, he barely stopped.

  He stood up and lit a stick of incense.

  A streak of white gas turned into silk and rose slowly.

  Chan Master Obscure inserted the Buddhist incense back into the censer before turning around slowly.

   It's still that old face.

  The face is full of wrinkles.

  There is only one pair of eyes, and it seems to have a different look.

  He glanced at the two of them, and said very calmly, "You are here."

   "Meet my uncle."

   "Greetings to Master Uncle."

  The two greet each other separately.

   "There is no need to be too polite."

  The obscure Zen master fixed his gaze on Li Chen's face, as if he could see through every inch of Li Chen's body.

   "Good boy."

   "When you made a big fuss in the Three Treasures Temple, the old monk has already seen it."

  The obscure Zen master nodded, no doubt he had figured out something.

   ""Hundred Eight Troubles Worship" is the true biography of the Buddha, and it is difficult for those who are not predestined to see its true meaning."

   "You can get this kind of favor, you should be a person with a Buddhist association."

   "There is a predestined relationship with my Buddha."

  Li Chen didn't know how to respond: "Master and uncle are too much, the disciple is just a coincidence."

  The obscure Zen master hummed softly: "You can stick to your heart and treat it as normal, and you have already won the Buddhist samadhi."

   "The reason for calling you here this time is related to the upcoming opening of the Blood Sea Secret Realm.

   It is also related to the closure of the Shasheng Temple. "

  Sasheng Temple was originally a famous temple, calling the wind and rain in southern Xinjiang.

  It’s just that later, for unknown reasons, he suddenly withdrew from Da Zhou’s "Zhou Tian Xing List" and chose to close mountains and temples.

   "Zhou Tian Xing Xing List" is the ranking list of the great Zhou sects. All sects that can make it to this list can share the luck of the stars.

   Hundreds of millions of sects all over the world want to be on the list.

   "Two hundred years ago, Shasheng Temple suffered a catastrophe. On the verge of life and death, Senior Brother Huizhuo resolutely chose to close the temple and seal the mountain."

   "This is the only way to save the life of my Shasheng Temple."

   "Later, the old man got some opportunities and entered the legendary void building."

   "The Void Building is a very mysterious existence in the cultivation world.

   Not in a fixed place.

   Regardless of constant time.

   may appear in any corner of the world.

   Chang Dao: The empty sky is boundless, and the sky has no trace.

   And the young master Xukong in the void building is even more of a strange man in the world, who can predict the rise and fall of all things.

  So the old man asked Mr. Kong Kong to perform a divination for Shasheng Temple. "

   Being able to enter the void building shows that there is still a chance for the obscure Zen master.

  The obscure Chan Master let out a long sigh: "After some divination, Mr. Kongkong left a eight-character comment to Shasheng Temple: 'Red lotus weeps dew, kills life and drinks sky'."

   "'Red lotus weeps dew, kills life and drinks sky'?"

  The obscure Zen master nodded slightly, and said leisurely: "When the Shasheng red lotus blooms, it is the day when the Shasheng Temple will come back from the rivers and lakes."

   Speaking of which, he pointed in the direction of Blood River Valley: "Do you know where all the blood in this Blood River Valley flows?"

   "The Blood Pond of Shasheng Temple."

  The obscure Zen master nodded: "That's right, but do you know why it flows into the pool of blood?"

   Both Lonely Zen Master and Li Chen shook their heads.

   It is true that many of the exercises in Shasheng Temple use blood as the refining method, but the blood in the blood pool is so vast that it is enough for all the monks in the temple to use it for a hundred years, and there is more than enough.

   Are there other uses?

   "Actually, this endless blood river is to support the life-killing red lotus in the blood pool."

   "This lotus was planted by Patriarch Bukong, but for some reason, he feeds on blood."

   "Who knew that the Shasheng Temple has been guarding for thousands of years, but the Shasheng Red Lotus is still just a bud, and there is no intention of blooming."

   "So I offered my treasures and asked Mr. Void to divination the second hexagram to find out the secret of the red lotus."

   "Master Xukong is worthy of being a strange person in the world, but he has actually figured out some clues."

   "The killing red lotus is the lotus seed of merit. The reason why it doesn't bloom is because the evil spirit in the blood pool is too heavy. The red lotus is bound by the evil spirit and cannot bloom."

   "The evil spirit in the blood pool must be eliminated."

   "There is only one thing in the world that can relieve the evil spirit here."

  Lonely Zen Master and Li Chen looked at each other.

   asked in unison: "What?"

  The obscure Zen master muttered: "The fire of red lotus."

   "Heaven and earth different fire?"

   "Exactly."

   "The red lotus fire is the fire of hell, the fire of the coldest, the fire of the darkest.

  The negative element produces fire, which is designed to burn evil spirits in the world. "

   "The blood lotus will only bloom in the burning red lotus fire."

  The blood lotus and the karmic fire are born together, which is really weird.

   "And this red lotus fire is related to the blood sea secret realm."

   After speaking, he held his left hand empty.

  A treasure gourd suddenly appeared in his hand.

  The whole body of this gourd is dark, and the surface is glowing with precious light.

   It is extraordinary at a glance.

   Li Chen saw this gourd very familiar.

   It took a while to realize that this gourd seemed to be the same as the red lacquered gourd of Master Huiming's uncle.

   "This gourd is a rare magic weapon in the world."

   "The red gourds with Junior Brother Huiming all come from a blood vine in the Blood Sea Secret Realm."

  At this time, the Lonely Master suddenly realized: "I said it looks so familiar."

  Zen Master Obscure continued: "As the name suggests, the Blood Sea Secret Realm is an ocean made of blood."

  "There is an island in the sea called Blood Gourd Island. There is a blood vine on the island, which is a creation of heaven and earth."

   "This blood vine has been rooted in the sea of ​​blood for hundreds of millions of years, with luxuriant branches and leaves covering the sky and the sun, and it has long been connected with spirituality."

   "It is also full of strange gourds, each of which is psychic, and can call for destiny."

   "When the Blood Sea secret realm opened, the three of us encountered that blood vine at the same time."

   "I saw gourds growing on the vines, and suddenly heard the call of gourds."

   "So full of joy, the three of them each won one of them."

   "When I wanted to pick the second one, I realized that I couldn't continue to pick it no matter what."

   "We only found out at this time that these gourds have their own spirituality, and each person can only charge one."

   "And each of these gourds has its own magic, and each one is different."

   "Like the red lacquer gourd of Junior Brother Huiming, it can absorb all the fires in the world."

   "It is the nemesis of Huo Xiu in the world."

   "The one in my hand is not afraid of any miasma or mist. In comparison, it is three points weaker."

   "My brother Hui Que's gourd can absorb the water of the spiritual spring, and it is inexhaustible."

   "In short, the three gourds are different and have their own magic."

  Lonely Zen Master slammed his mouth: "Uncle Master, this kind of opportunity is really enviable."

   Shaking his head in obscurity: "Oh, it's a pity that the three of us didn't find the red lotus gourd that Mr. Kong Kong mentioned."

  It turns out that one of those gourds can release the red lotus fire.

   "By calling you here this time, I'm pinning my hopes on you."

   Li Chen looked confused: "But... I can't tell which gourd has the red lotus fire."
