Chapter 285 There Are No Gods in This Era, only the Immortal Lord of All Laws!
Chapter 285 There are no gods in this era, only the Immortal Lord of All Dharmas!
"Lord Palace Secretary."
"What should we do now?"
While speaking, the Onmyoji retreated behind the old priest and Lord Atsuta.
Be ready for strategic shifts at any time.
"how?"
Sensing the onmyoji's small movements, the old priest's eyes suddenly turned cold.
But he understands that now is not the time for internal strife. Even if he wants to strangle the other party to death, he has to wait until he gets through the current difficulties, otherwise everyone will have to answer here today!
Thinking like this.
The old priest looked at the three people in front of him.
Zhang Zhiwei is easy to handle.
After fighting for such a long time, I know the details of the methods and have a plan to deal with them.
But Li Muxuan and the one next to him were in trouble, especially Li Muxuan. The only information Fangzi gave him was the two methods of reversing Bafang and reversing life.
But this information is obviously not complete.
After all, the scene of the other party summoning boulders just now was still fresh in his memory.
Although at your own speed, even if another huge boulder falls, it is impossible to hit you, but someone who knows how to move mountains and fill seas cannot only move mountains and fill seas.
That's why.
In fact, there is only one way out for him.
That is to find a way to escape, or to delay the arrival of reinforcements from Lushun as much as possible!
Think of this.
There was a look of determination in the old priest's eyes.
It seems that the only way to do this is to use the bottom-of-the-box method. Although this method will consume hundreds of years of accumulation of Shintoism, if he loses, the strength of the Japanese spiritual world will be seriously damaged.
There is nothing I can do to be kind.
Just give it a try!
While thinking.
A purple thunderbolt suddenly struck him.
"snort!"
Seeing this, the old priest snorted coldly.
The eight-foot mirror behind him, as well as the grass pheasant sword and eight-foot magatama in his hand, are blooming with infinite brilliance.
In an instant, Zi Lei was instantly submerged in the light.
Disappeared without a trace.
See this scene.
Zhang Zhiwei squinted his eyes slightly, feeling different from the feeling of being broken by a rootless god.
He felt as if his thunder and lightning had been transferred somewhere, completely out of his control, as if it no longer belonged to this world.
"Lao Li, Lao Feng, be careful."
Zhang Zhiwei warned, staring at the three artifacts with a solemn expression.
"Um."
Li Muxuan nodded when he heard this.
The three sacred artifacts were inherited by Emperor Wajima and have been worshiped by people for thousands of years.
This kind of treasure is different from ordinary magic weapons. Not only does it entrust the power of sentient beings, but it also has a very heavy weight on its own destiny, so it often has many wonderful uses.
For example, Dayu's Nine Cauldrons, the First Emperor's Imperial Seal and the Twelve Golden Figures, etc.
I don’t know what the specific uses of Jiuding and Yuxi are.
No records were left.
But the Twelve Golden People were mentioned in a book.
It can stop weapons and suppress magic, which is equivalent to a large range of gods and spirits, specifically targeting practitioners.
Of course, the three artifacts of Wo Dao cannot be compared with the Twelve Golden Men, but they should not be underestimated, but don't worry too much. After all, if they are really useful, they won't be used just now.
Wouldn't it be better to concentrate earlier?
Just thinking about it.
The old priest's voice suddenly sounded.
"When Fang Tian and Earth first emerged, they became one god in the high sky. His name is the Lord God of Heaven!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the light of the three artifacts suddenly became extremely blazing, covering the entire world in an instant. Li Muxuan and the others realized the situation and were about to evacuate, but found that the surrounding scene suddenly changed.
The gray haze disappeared.
The few of them seemed to be on an empty island, with their feet on the green lawn and floating clouds in all directions.
That's when.
A red light appeared above the head.
Li Muxuan looked up and saw a goddess wearing a bright yellow graceful robe appearing in the sky, with a crown on her head, a solemn look on her face, and an indescribable aura exuding from her body.
"Amaterasu?"
Li Muxuan had a strange look in his eyes.
In Japanese mythology.
In terms of status, Amaterasu ranks first, symbolizing the ruling rights of the Wajima royal family.
Also known as Amaterasu, the goddess of the sun, the goddess of the sun, and the goddess of the sun. Even during the confluence of gods and Buddhas, he was regarded as the incarnation of the great sun.
And he should be in Gaotianyuan now.
This is the heavenly world where Shinto ghosts and gods live, which can be simply understood as heaven.
This place is ruled by Amaterasu, and all other gods have their own offices and serve her, just like the nobles, gentry, and officials serve the emperor in reality.
In fact, whether it is Heaven or Gao Tianyuan.
They are all products of human imagination.
Class, authority, divine power, almost every one of them can find its counterpart in reality.
It can be seen from this.
The so-called gods are just human thoughts.
At this time.
A call to prayer suddenly sounded.
"The moon tells the fate."
"Oxata Hagata, riding on the male nagata. Purple nagata, wearing a royal robe, and a gold-made sword, wearing a sword."
"Susano."
As the names of the gods were read out.
Next to Amaterasu, first appeared a god wearing purple clothes, carrying a sword on his waist, and carrying a string of magatama, called Tsukiyomi no Mikoto, and then a god named Susano-o appeared holding a phoenix sword and having horns on his head. gods.
Immediately afterwards.
All kinds of strange gods appeared, and their number almost filled the entire sky.
"Tsukuyomi, Susano'o." Li Muxuan looked at the millions of shadows in the sky. Except for the first three that he had heard of, he didn't recognize most of the others.
But this is normal.
Shintoism claims to have eight million gods. With such a large scale, they may not be able to recognize all of them.
Moreover, the number of gods does not mean anything.
For example, the Ganges.
It is said that there are 330 million gods, but it still does not prevent them from being a British colony.
Because of this, facing these millions of gods, Li Muxuan looked calm, while Zhang Zhiwei and Wu Gensheng beside him flashed with curiosity, not understanding why the other party brought out so many gods.
At this time.
Amaterasu in the air slowly spoke.
"You know your crime!"
Instantly, the majestic voice echoed throughout the world.
The angry and disgusted eyes of countless gods gathered on the three people.
"Playing tricks."
Seeing this, Li Muxuan was too lazy to care. He always did not believe in the gods worshipped by religion.
Even the Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Gods of Taoism were no exception. In his opinion, all gods with images, consciousness, right and wrong, good and evil, are just a thought of human beings.
Since it is a human thought.
There is no need to engage in meaningless arguments.
Just like whether sweet tofu pudding or salty tofu pudding is more delicious, the answer does not lie in the tofu pudding itself, but in how to convince or solve the person who is arguing with you.
That's it.
Li Muxuan turned to think about how to leave here.
Obviously, since the gods are fake, the essence of this Takama-hara should be the inner scene.
Similar to the "heaven" of Joaquina on Nathan Island in the comics, it is a relatively independent world, with an infinite time ratio compared to reality, and there will be no physical feelings such as hunger and fatigue.
The only thing to face is the spiritual emptiness brought by endless time.
And this "Takama-hara".
Obviously, it is similar to "heaven".
But it may not be like heaven, relying on endless time to wear down people's will.
Immediately, Li Muxuan just wanted to condense the Samadhi True Fire and try to refine this place, but found that he could not sense the existence of "Qi" at all.
Only the purest life cultivation.
But there is good news.
That is, his own physical strength will not be lost, and it will always remain in a vigorous state.
"Old Li, there is something strange about this place!"
At this moment, Zhang Zhiwei, who also noticed something wrong, flashed a gleam in his narrow eyes.
After Wu Gensheng opened his mouth and recited a few sentences of the 'Heavenly Devil Mantra', he saw that the surrounding scene did not change at all, and his eyes flickered.
The Heavenly Devil Mantra can affect a person's inner view.
Arouse people's desires and joy.
Let the mantra holder experience all the joys he can think of in the world as he pleases in the inner view.
Now it has no effect, which means that this inner view does not belong to any 'person', but a public tool.
In other words, this is not the inner view of the old priest himself, but more like the ancestral hall of Shintoism.
But knowing it is knowing it, how should I get out?
Of course, this is not an urgent matter.
And there is no rush.
Then, Wu Gensheng turned his head and looked at Li Muxuan and said, "Do you remember your previous theory?"
"Yeah."
Li Muxuan nodded in response.
He had been thinking about escaping into the inner scene and observing the real world from here.
He just didn't know whether he and others entered the inner scene with consciousness or with the physical body at this moment.
If it was the former, this technique would be easy to break, just like dreaming, as long as you wake up from the dream.
If it was the latter, although it was difficult, it was rare to experience the feeling of escaping into the inner scene in person.
However, judging from the current situation.
Most likely it is the latter.
First, if the other party could use the three artifacts to control them, they would not wait until now to use it.
Second, the consciousness entering the inner scene does not mean that it is separated from the physical body. Logically speaking, the Samadhi True Fire can also be used.
The reason why it cannot be used now is mostly because the rules of this inner scene restrict the operation of the internal Qi.
It is equivalent to an incomplete world.
Realizing this.
Li Muxuan's eyes flashed a little light. To put it bluntly, an incomplete world is fake.
And as long as it is fake, there is a way to break it.
While thinking.
The gods in the sky saw that none of the three people paid attention to them, and their faces showed anger.
Immediately, a magnificent voice sounded.
"You killed the servants of God and the people of Yamato, and you were disrespectful to God."
After saying a series of crimes, Amaterasu condensed a hot fireball in her palm, "Now I sentence you to be burned by the scorching sun and imprisoned here forever!"
As soon as the voice fell.
The fireball turned into a scorching sun hanging in the air.
The next moment!
The grass on the ground was directly ignited, and the flames filled every corner of this world.
And under the brilliance of this sun, Li Muxuan only felt that his skin, flesh, and bones were about to melt, and the burning sensation from his skin was clearly transmitted to his mind.
In this regard, his face remained normal.
"It hurts."
"But my body is fine."
Li Muxuan sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and carefully felt the feeling of being burned by the sun.
Zhang Zhiwei and Wu Gensheng looked at each other and sat down. Although the pain was strong and real, it was not completely unbearable.
At this time, seeing them like this.
The old priest hiding behind the gods had a flash of surprise in his eyes.
This Takama-ga-hara.
It was the last trump card of his Shintoism.
Almost no one who is pulled into this world can survive the judgment of Amaterasu.
Of course, only two people have been pulled in in history. After all, the operation of this place consumes a huge amount of faith and mental power, especially the more realistic the effect, the more incense and mental power it consumes.
Just now, the sun for a short quarter of an hour.
It will consume a month of incense.
Of course, if it is just to maintain the existence of Takama-ga-hara, the consumption will also be reduced.
But that would be like a hawk, and I would have to endure it with the three of them. The old priest does not have this patience, so he can only use this method to torture them.
Although the injuries here will not be brought back to the real world, the mental pain will not disappear.
Wait until they can't hold on.
Once I relieve it.
The chance of escape is much greater.
But there is also a best case scenario, that is, they go crazy here directly, so that when they return to reality, I may have a chance to kill them.
However, just as the old priest was fantasizing, he suddenly noticed something wrong.
The incense and mental power suddenly disappeared at a very fast speed!
"What's going on?"
The old priest's eyes widened suddenly.
At the same time.
Li Muxuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, was looking inward at himself, trying to use the Tongtian talisman to sense the heaven and earth.
After all, the inner scene is a 'metaphysical' place. The more real things are, the more concrete they are, and the less they should exist here.
For other things in the world.
Li Muxuan could not confirm whether they were real, and the degree of analysis was not as deep as the body.
That's why.
He chose to look inward directly.
From the kidneys to the globin and hemoglobin in each red blood cell.
If there is no way to see these things, then the sun outside will be meaningless, and there will be no medium to transmit to the mind, which means that pain is just an emotion, and there is no 'real theory' to support it.
And then deny the existence of the entire Takamagahara.
At the same time, the inner scene itself is also under the heavenly way.
It is just independent of reality.
In fact, it is easier for him to communicate with the heavenly way than reality.
On the other side, the moment Wu Gensheng closed his eyes.
Countless thoughts fell off.
The whole person was in a state of extreme stillness, and in his consciousness, countless figures emerged, wearing various clothes and with different expressions.
But these figures were not others.
It was himself.
Unlike Li Muxuan who observed the way of heaven and then observed himself, he chose to observe others!
People have countless sides, just like the infinite changes in the natural world, and everyone is actually the same. He can observe the side of his heart by observing other people, and then understand the real self more.
And Zhang Zhiwei on the side was also observing himself.
The world and others.
In his view, they are all external things, and he just needs to understand himself better in various things!
Of course, he doesn't think that others are wrong, but they just recognize themselves from different angles. Lao Li chose to observe the way of heaven, study things to gain knowledge, study himself and the world, and think about seeing the whole picture of everything in the world.
Lao Feng recognized himself by observing others.
And he, Zhang Zhiwei, only observed himself!
From the time he could remember things to the present, every moment and every second is him, but every time a thought arises, it is a new him.
Just like a house that keeps getting higher and higher, what he has to do is to see the appearance of this house clearly, until the house is finally built and there is no change, he can also see his true appearance clearly.
Because of this, his real opponent is only himself, never others.
However, the three people's paths are actually the same.
What they seek is nothing more than one word.
Truth.
But compared to the truth that the two seek.
Li Muxuan also wants to verify whether the whole world is real from the level of "law".
This is also the main reason for the accelerated loss of incense and mental power in Takama-hara. After all, things in nature are often abstract, and laws are real things in reality.
For example, red blood cells, white blood cells, nerve endings, etc., all have a set of operating methods.
And with the completion of these laws.
The world is approaching reality, and the incense and mental power to maintain this reality is naturally massive.
"No, at this speed, it won't be long before the incense will be exhausted!" The old priest looked extremely ugly. Although he didn't know what happened, he was sure that the other party had done something.
It's just that the authority is clearly in his hands.
The other party is in addition to himself.
The other party can't affect this place at all, and can't even use Qi!
Just thinking.
A deafening thunder suddenly exploded!
The old priest looked up.
The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.
At the same time, a figure stood up quietly, and amulets with mysterious seal characters appeared around him. Each talisman represented a "law".
With the appearance of new talismans, the speed of the incense and mental power passing away increased.
Until the last click!
Like a broken mirror.
The earth of Takama-ga-hara shook violently, the sky suddenly collapsed, and eight million gods disappeared!
In an instant, the gray scene of Lushun Wharf returned to everyone's vision.
The old priest spit out a mouthful of blood with a "puff", and the three artifacts in his hand instantly dimmed and looked no different from ordinary objects.
Just at this time.
An extremely plain voice sounded.
"Can't bear it?"
Li Muxuan opened his mouth, and the magic talismans surrounding his body showed that what happened just now was not an illusion.
Zhang Zhiwei and Wu Gensheng, who were sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly stood up and turned to look at the magic talismans beside Li Muxuan, with a bit of surprise in their eyes.
These magic talismans are not the talismans passed down from various sects.
What is engraved on them is the unique method that Li Muxuan has comprehended after integrating hundreds of schools!
Thinking of this.
Wu Gensheng couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
The past and the future are hard to talk about.
But in this era, there are no gods, only the Immortal Lord of the World!
