Chapter 330 Keeping in the Dark
"Actually, being able to ascend through the catastrophe and achieve the true fairyland, in the eyes of monks below the Mahayana, is naturally considered to have become a fairy, and the merits and virtues have been consummated. But I know in my heart that this true fairyland is just stepping into the threshold of immortals, that's all. There is also boundless scenery on it... Although we now have endless life, we don't live the same life as the heavens and the earth, and the sun and the moon shine together. The reason is because of the calamity of the three declines." Qi Liang divided God listened to Bailiyan's sermon, and explained to Han Li through sound transmission.
"Oh, I don't know if this so-called tribulation of three declines is like the Mahayana's ascension to cross the catastrophe? How can we resist it?" Han Li frowned slightly and asked.
"Although the three declines are called catastrophes, they have nothing to do with the catastrophe of ascension. They are the three disasters that monks in the real fairyland will encounter during their long years of cultivation. The first decline is the decline of immortals. The spiritual power is lost for no reason, and the cultivation base is greatly damaged, until the realm falls... The second decline is the decline of the body, which means that the physical body gradually decays, the body becomes weak, and finally cannot hold the spiritual power of the fairy, until the body explodes and dies... As for the third decline, For the decline of the orifice, it is related to the immortal orifice. There are many ways to fight against the three calamities, but whether it is effective or not varies from person to person, but if you can make achievements in a certain law, it will greatly help Resist the disaster." Qi Liang continued to explain.
"That's it. No wonder all the monks in the real fairyland are chasing enlightenment or wanting to master the power of the law. In addition to improving their own strength, I am afraid that they are more likely to fight against the three declines. But I don't know when the three declines will come. Is it coming, or does it need to meet certain conditions to trigger it?" Han Li said after thinking for a moment.
At this moment, his expression was as usual, but his heart was quite shaken. I don't know if it was because of his previous amnesia. He didn't know anything about it. After listening to Qi Liang's explanation today, he realized that the cultivation of a true immortal is not a real peace of mind from now on. , there will be all kinds of dangers.
"The first two types of calamities vary from person to person, and they all depend on God's will. Some people are lucky and may not encounter them in millions of years, and some people are unlucky and will encounter them in tens of thousands of years...Brother Li still remembers the legend That Elder Fang Zhuan from the Hall of Merit, he was a cultivator in the mid-period of the True Immortal Realm before, and he was only one step away from the twenty-four orifices. However, he encountered the decline of his immortal power, his cultivation base plummeted, and he forcibly fell back to Mahayana period." Qi Liang continued to speak through voice transmission, revealing a trace of helplessness in his tone.
"Brother Qi, are you saying that the coming of the previous two declines is related to the time of practice. If a practitioner practices fast enough and advances to the Golden Immortal Realm as soon as possible, is it possible to avoid it?" Han Li said after thinking for a while.
"Hehe, having said that, if you can become a Golden Immortal within ten thousand years, the possibility of encountering the first two declines is naturally extremely small. But looking at the entire fairy world, how many people can do it? Can break through to the real world within ten thousand years In the middle stage of the Immortal Realm, it is already a great fortune. Moreover, even if a true immortal has been practicing and has not encountered the first two declines, if he wants to hit the Golden Immortal Realm, the third decline is inevitable." Qi Liang shook his head and smiled wryly.
"How do you say that?" Han Li's heart moved.
"I only know that anyone who wants to attack the Golden Immortal Realm must experience this third decline, and once this decline comes, the consequences will never be less than the first two, which is why there are so few Golden Immortal Realm monks. As for the specifics Why, I don't know." Qi Liang shook his head and said.
"Then Taoist Baili just said that there are five declines in heaven and man, and what are the other two declines?" Han Li nodded thoughtfully, and asked again.
"It is said that once you become a golden immortal, you will face two declines, which are collectively known as the 'five declines of heaven and man'. I don't know what it is. In short, this immortal way is bleak..."
Qi Liang hadn't finished speaking, but something happened suddenly on the white jade platform.
Among the twelve Golden Immortal Masters of the Candle Dragon Dao who were originally sitting cross-legged on the left side of the tripod, eight of them suddenly slapped the futons under them, stood up one after another, and flicked their wrists.
"厱啷啷"
There was a sound of shaking chains that pierced the tranquility.
The eight golden immortals headed by Ouyang Kuishan had golden light shining from their sleeves, and eight arm-thick golden chains flew out like spirit snakes, with golden runes shining on them, winding from the left side entangled.
The target was Bailiyan who was preaching!
Bailiyan's expression remained unchanged, and the sound of preaching stopped abruptly.
I didn't see how he moved, and a crimson light suddenly lit up all over his body, surrounding him like a fiery red light curtain.
The chain passed by, colliding with a series of sparks and making "clang clang" sounds, but it couldn't get close to Bailiyan's body, and could only wrap around and pass by layers outside the light curtain.
Bailiyan suddenly raised his foot and stomped on the ground, a red light suddenly lit up under his feet, and the whole white jade platform shook with a loud bang, his figure soared into the sky, and he was about to fly into the sky.
When Ouyang Kuishan and the others saw this, their faces were solemn, and they quickly pinched the formula, and at the same time said the word "fix".
The eight golden chains wrapped around immediately burst into light, tightened suddenly, and tightly bound Bailiyan and the crimson light curtain at the same time.
Bailiyan froze instantly and was dragged back to the high platform.
There was a red light on his hands, and he grabbed the golden chains wrapped around him.
There was only a sound of "zi la la".
A piece of golden lightning immediately shot up from the chain, like hundreds of golden lightning, leaping up his arm.
Bailiyan only felt numbness in his arms, and then lost consciousness for a short time.
At the same time, streaks of lightning shot out from the golden chains, connecting and intertwining with each other, unexpectedly congealed into substance, and instantly formed a square golden cage around it, trapping Bailiyan in the center.
Although Bailiyan recovered from the numbness immediately, it was not so easy to escape because of the delay of less than a breath.
At this moment, on the golden cage that surrounded him, there were faint flashes of lightning on each of the golden pillars, and layers of scale-like patterns were engraved on them.
On the surface of the pattern, there are also simple ancient seal runes, from which there are bursts of obvious laws.
Obviously, these eight golden chains are a set of high-level immortal weapons specially used to deal with Bailiyan.
The scene just said it took a long time, but in fact it only happened in a flash, and even the tens of thousands of monks and disciples in the surrounding squares hadn't realized what happened.
All this has happened.
The thirty-six deputy Taoist masters on the Baiyutai were all shocked when they saw this scene, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, a little at a loss, obviously, they didn't get any information in advance.
Sitting on the other side, Yuyangzi and others who came to watch the ceremony were even more surprised when they saw this, and stood up one after another.
Some of them opened their mouths to ask, but seeing the weird atmosphere here, they finally fell silent.
Han Li noticed something different, but like everyone around him, he was still sitting cross-legged on the futon, just looking up with a puzzled face.
"What happened?" Qi Liang also frowned, wondering.
On the white jade platform, Daoist Hu Yan looked gloomy and stepped forward. The blond man and the woman in black gauze did not participate in the formation, and immediately dodged and stood in front of him.
"What are you doing, do you want to rebel?" Daoist Hu Yan was furious, and angrily rebuked.
When these people heard the sound, a look of shame flashed in their eyes, but none of them said a word, and the two who blocked him didn't have the slightest intention to get out of the way.
When Yun Ni saw this, a flash of shock and anger flashed in her eyes. Although she stood up, she kept a little distance from the Taoist masters beside her with some vigilance.
Judging from the current situation, among the twelve Taoist masters, it was obvious that only she and Taoist Huyan were kept in the dark.
Inside the cage, Bailiyan's eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and a crimson light glowed on his arms.
"Teng".
A fierce blazing flame lit up from his arms, burning the golden chains around him.
The red light emitted by the raging flames made his skin, which was already as smooth as jade, red, like scarlet jade.
"The Golden Scale Locking Dragon Formation can't trap me for too long, what else can I do, why don't I use it quickly?" Bailiyan's voice turned cold, and he asked.
When Ouyang Kuishan and others heard the words, they seemed to have discussed it a long time ago, and they all kept silent, and no one spoke up.
The inner and outer disciples in the square didn't understand what was going on, they just whispered to each other and looked away.
As for the elders of the other sects who came to watch the ceremony, they were all astonished. They didn't know what had happened, but they obviously realized that the matter was not simple, and they all sat where they were, without taking any other actions.
In the sky next to the Baiyu Terrace, amidst the floating giant blue flower, Palace Master Cangliu had already stood up from the big golden chair, frowning and looking at this side, with a bit of hesitation in his eyes.
"Grand Palace Master, do we want to..." The handsome young man behind him, who is not inferior to a woman, stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"Don't be in a hurry, let's see the situation first. If it's the family affairs inside Zhulongdao, it's inconvenient for us outsiders to intervene." Palace Master Cangliu pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said.
At this moment, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he raised his head and looked up into the sky.
In the depths of the higher sky, suddenly a strand of hundreds of feet long golden thread suddenly appeared, and in a flash of light, it suddenly expanded and turned into a blinding golden light, in which twenty or thirty figures appeared.
The leader of them has a square face, narrow eyes and a nose augmentation, and two slender silver whiskers above his lips. He is quite slender and wears a snow-white robe with golden cloud patterns embroidered on it. He looks very extraordinary. .
Behind him, there are 20 or 30 men and women hanging there, most of them are wearing snow-white robes, only a few people's clothes are not uniform, but the aura on their bodies is terrifyingly powerful. A feeling of suffocation like a black cloud pressing down on the city.
Everyone in Zhulongdao, who had been at a loss by the sudden change, was even more in an uproar at this moment.
