With the power of AI, you become a giant in the magic world!

Seeing the old monk completely dead.

Gu Xia opened the sutra in his hand and took a look.

Slightly disappointed.

He thought he would encounter a classic scene where a hermit gave a peerless secret book before his death.

Unexpectedly, it was just an ordinary sutra. Come to think of it, if this Lingwu Temple had magical powers, the monks would not be parasitized by some spider monsters in the state of enlightenment.

The content of this "Vacuum Treasure Scroll" is not even a sutra in the strict sense.

It is a story about a great man who went to the Western Buddhist Kingdom in person to explore the true meaning of the origin of Buddhism.

The treasure scroll records what the great man encountered and felt along the way. According to the Chinese text in the book, he also met the current Buddha and finally obtained the ultimate mystery of Buddhism.

"The ultimate mystery?"

Gu Xia saw that this page said, Buddha said: Buddhism is only...

So he turned to the last page. There was only one word on the whole page, which was also the last word in the text.

That is, a word "heart".

"...Uh... This can't be a Buddhist novel?"

The last signature was written with a name.

Master Kongwu should be the author.

Looking at the time on the signature, it was already five hundred years ago.

According to the legend, this Master Kongwu should be the founder who built Lingwu Temple.

No wonder Wuqing entrusted this book to others in his last days. It turned out that he didn't want the founder's relics to be lost.

Gu Xia carefully put the "Vacuum Treasure Scroll" into the storage bag. This thing looks like an old book, but it is actually a Buddhist treasure.

Wuqing is a Taoist, of course, this Taoist does not mean that he has the strength of the eighth realm of Xuanli.

The old monk is just an ordinary person, but he has been compassionate and practicing in the world for many years, and even accumulated Buddhist vows.

This kind of vow is a kind of innate Xuanli, and possessing innate power is a necessary condition for Xuanwu cultivators to advance to the rebirth realm and soul cultivators to enter the reality realm.

Han Xuntian of Tianxuanmen has been stuck in the blood fusion realm because he has never been able to condense that ray of innate power.

It is conceivable that the innate power is precious. If the old monk is willing to practice soul cultivation, it is estimated that he will be able to advance to the realm of reality in a few years.

Although his soul body does not have such a huge amount of thoughts and strong soul power, he has all the necessary practices.

Therefore, the things blessed by the old monk are more or less stained with some weak innate power, which can be said to be consecrated.

This is also why the rosary given by the old monk to Gu Xia can prevent the monsters from approaching, because he has the thought of protecting Gu Xia, and that wisp of innate power helps Gu Xia suppress the monsters for a moment.

And this vacuum treasure scroll, since it was left by the founder of Lingwu Temple, Master Kongwu, it should also be stained with the vows of the abbots who have cultivated for 500 years.

If it is given to those Buddhist soul cultivators who can use vows, this treasure scroll can be used directly as a magic weapon.

This also made Gu Xia a little curious. It is said that Lingwu Temple, which has Buddhist treasures, can force these beautiful spiders to retreat even if it cannot kill them.

But he soon found the reason in the diary left by the old monk on the futon.

It turned out that a month ago, the monks ate the rice that a white-robed scholar offered to the temple.

The monks in the temple were all infected with parasites and were gradually eaten from the inside by the beautiful spider.

The flesh and blood of humans can effectively isolate the Buddhist wishes from the outside world, so even the monk Wuqing who possessed the treasure scroll was parasitized.

The beautiful spider first ate from the limbs and finally gnawed the brain.

The monks not only lived for a long time, but also had their own consciousness.

But during the parasitic process, the beautiful spider would control the host's body.

So the original owner could only watch himself being devoured by the demon spider.

When Gu Xia came, only Wuqing, who had the highest cultivation, and Konghui, his original successor, were barely alive.

Under the control of the beautiful spider, the two bodies continued to maintain their original appearance, and their brains were not gnawed, so as to facilitate the demon spiders to hunt new prey.

But out of kindness, Wuqing, who had a high level of cultivation, could occasionally break free from control, so he gave the Buddhist treasure and warned Gu Xia to leave early.

Until just now, the two were eaten into a pair of empty human skins.

Gu Xia bowed to the old monk's skin, then collected Kong Hui's skin on the corridor outside the door, dug a pit in the backyard and buried the master and apprentice in it.

...

After an incense stick of time.

Gu Xia came to the guest room of Lingwu Temple again. He held a candlestick and walked slowly up to the second floor.

Creak, creak...

As soon as he came up, he heard the sound of arthropods crawling in the rooms on both sides of the corridor.

He pushed open a door and saw spiders crawling everywhere on the roof and floor, staring at the strange intruder with dense eyes.

And these spiders are as big as fists at the smallest, which is definitely a hell for spider-phobes.

Hiss hiss hiss...

The monsters rushed towards Gu Xia with a hiss, wanting to kill the guy who disturbed them.

Gu Xia took out the "Vacuum Treasure Scroll" calmly.

The old and worn-out ancient book suddenly emitted a strong golden light.

As soon as the golden light appeared, the demon spiders screamed and broke through the window without hesitation, crawling out. The slow ones turned into a pool of powder under the golden light after a few breaths.

"It is indeed a Buddhist treasure!"

This "Vacuum Treasure Scroll" is not the old monk's rosary. It has been blessed by successive abbots for five hundred years and is the relic of the ancestor Kong Wu.

It contains a lot of Buddhist vows.

The old monk's rosary can only suppress the demon spiders, and the vows on it will be eliminated by the demonic energy.

And this vacuum scroll can directly kill monsters. The power of vows is so strong that the golden light makes Gu Xia feel uncomfortable.

"What a strong power of vows!"

The reason why these spider monsters gathered in the guest room was because of the vacuum scroll.

If the monks were not parasitized from the inside, this vacuum scroll would protect this temple from being invaded by ordinary monsters.

Gu Xia was even more fortunate to see this: "Fortunately, the main practice of Lingwu Temple is to save all living beings. If the Vajra is angry and kills monsters, I will also suffer."

The power of vows in Buddhism is essentially not divided into good and evil, and it is unknown who is good and who is bad.

The power of vows on the vacuum scroll is like an ownerless bonfire, and anyone can be burned.

It's just that the abbots of Lingwu Temple pay attention to cultivating a kind heart and want to save the people. The main purpose is to protect mankind.

Regardless of whether it can be done or not, they really think so, so the power of vows on the scroll will also protect humans and drive away monsters.

If this is a Mingwang Temple, the monks all practice the Vajra-killing Buddhism, the main purpose is to kill evil, and the vows on this treasure scroll are not only to drive away demons, but also to kill evil demons and evil hearts.

Gu Xia is barely a human being, and can protect himself in front of the vows that protect humans, but he practices the blood demon technique and has a demon heart, so he can't escape in front of the vows that kill evil.

Even so, the golden light of the strong vows made him feel very uncomfortable psychologically.

Gu Xia suddenly had a strange idea.

"This thing may be able to fight with Fang Lianmeng's blood lotus."

Of course, he would never turn back and go to Gaoguan County to fight that demon woman.

Gu Xia continued to hold the vacuum treasure scroll and drove out the demon spiders left in the other rooms on the second floor one by one.

After the spiders crawled out, there were creepy things left in the room.

There were seedling beds like the female pilgrims downstairs, and there were also dry bones, and more were human skins. Judging from the scars on their heads, some were monks in the temple, and some were pilgrims from outside.

There are also dense holes on it, which are traces of the spider's mouthparts.

These spiders eat like ordinary spiders. After hunting, they inject venom, wait for the prey to dissolve from the inside, and then use the straw-like mouthparts to suck out the juice.

As for prey as big as a human, it is naturally impossible to wait for it to dissolve completely. The spider basically sucks the prey while it is still alive.

The strange sound that Gu Xia heard before may be the sucking sound of the spider monsters eating.

"Wait! This is!"

In the room at the end, Gu Xia saw a cocoon wrapped in spider webs, and there was actually a living person inside.

He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Yu Wusi!"
