Chapter 810: The Old Law Is Broken, the New Law Is Established

This is an endless desolation.

Sand dunes are connected to sand dunes. When trekking through them, you can only see the withered yellow in the distance. It seems that there are no plants, no animals, and no breath of life.

However, in this great desert, there are also scattered oases distributed everywhere. This is a miracle in the desert. The little boy and the old man live in a city among hundreds of oasis city-states scattered everywhere.

It is called a city here, but it is just a low wall. It is an earthen city. It is called Mukta, which means pearl and also symbolizes a pure place.

The blind old man is the only master in this city. His identity is very special. He is believed to have extraordinary divine power. He can predict, pray and heal, and help people living in the oasis.

In this great desert, every master is loved by the people, and even the city lord must observe etiquette when he meets them.

A Yue is the disciple of this blind old man and the child born by a lowly serf in the city.

Mukta is very small, and there are not many people living here. Most of the people who stay here are old people and weak women. Most of the young people have gone to the largest oasis city-states in the desert.

Those larger oasis city-states are located on the edge of the desert, close to the land of Daxiye. This is also a famous trade route and a shortcut to the hinterland of Daxiye.

The Nidusuo Kingdom, the Dangxiang tribe, and the Rouran people used this route to pass through the iron hoof blockade of the Tiele people and go directly to Daxiye. They often do business with Dayou and Daxiye, and carry out multi-national trade between the two great powers.

For this reason, these large oasis city-states have become the supply place for caravans, where there is the most important resource in the desert, "water source".

As long as there is a water source, there is a chance to grow crops and raise livestock. If there is no water, even human survival becomes a major problem.

The small oasis of Mukta City is less than one-tenth of the area of ​​Sui'an City where the He family is located. To put it bluntly, it is only the size of a town.

The daily life of the whole city depends on a river along the way, which is controlled by the city lord of Mukta. No one can go to the river to get water without permission. The water here is very precious, which truly reflects what the source of life is.

The first thing the little boy did when he returned to the city was to take the huge snail-like beast of burden to a nearby water trough facility to drink water.

This is a place dedicated to drinking water for livestock. There are also several guards guarding it. It is free for local residents, but merchants from other places have to pay to get water.

The little boy has no surname. According to the local language, his name is A Yue. A Yue is very familiar with these guards. After a greeting, he led the snail-like beast of burden to the trough to drink water.

There are already several large snails raised by locals by the stone trough. They are stretching their necks to drink water "gurgling", which seems unusually leisurely.

This snail-shaped beast is called a touch beast of burden. It has soft tentacles. It is actually a demon beast, similar to the golden cat demon, but with low intelligence.

They have strong resistance to hunger and thirst, can move for a long time in the desert, and are not afraid of sandstorms. They can travel long distances in various extreme environments without any effort.

Moreover, the troll has a special ability. When in danger, it can dive under the sand to avoid the most dangerous black sandstorm or natural enemies in the desert.

Travelers or people who keep such trolls can also hide in their shells and dive into the sand with them.

There is no need to worry about not being able to breathe when entering the deep sand. There is a kind of mucus in the huge snail shell that can secrete a breath that makes people fall asleep. At this time, people will curl up in the shell like hibernation.

When the outside world is safe, the troll will take its owner out of the thick sand layer and escape. For these reasons, this troll has become the most common troll in the desert.

While holding the troll, A Yue played with and rubbed the jade ring he had just picked up.

The blind old man, who is also his mentor, is named Xida. He is a well-known master and has a very high attainment in Zen meditation. On the way back, the old man used a thin red string to string the jade ring on it and gave it to A Yue.

This also made A Yue very precious. He has been playing with this jade ring since he returned to the city.

"A Yue, did you go to the ruins of the holy city of Kushinagar and find something good there?"

The guard of the water tank was a man in his forties with a big beard, and he joked with a smile.

"I heard that many monks from other places came to that ghost place, and they seemed to be looking for some treasure. Could this be the treasure they found?"

A guard holding a spear next to him also asked him a question.

A Yue immediately hid the jade ring nervously.

"I... I won't give this to you."

"You kid, we won't steal your things."

The guard with a full beard grinned.

"We just want to see what great treasure you picked up?"

"Ayue, you are really stingy."

The guard holding the spear was younger than his companions, and he also laughed: "The desert is full of traces of ancient holy cities, but how many people have found treasures in all these years? You picked up a small piece of rags, what's there to be happy about... Do you know? The city lord found a very powerful magic weapon back then, sold it, and then became the city lord of our Mukta."

"Humph."

Ah Yue was a little angry: "The city lord is a big treasure, and I am a little treasure. Don't underestimate it."

The two guards were just teasing the child, so when they saw his angry look, they couldn't help but laugh for a while.

Ah Yue was naturally unconvinced. After her home-raised beast finished drinking the water, she angrily led the big snail away.

Suddenly, at this moment, a very bright light burst out from a certain direction in the southeast corner.

This is a light that no mortal can see. Only people in the cultivation world and a few ordinary people with cultivation qualifications can sense it.

In this moment, a huge wave, like a wave that could sweep through time, space and the universe, echoed between heaven and earth. This was an idea that seemed to push the world to rotate, like a red sun rising, brilliant and vast, like the torrent of the times.

The entire time and space is trembling and vibrating, and the vast wave of thoughts that are ethereal and real are also rolling and reverberating in the void, even penetrating the long river of time and space, seemingly endless, shuttling through the dimensions.

Mixed in with this was the soliloquy of a mysterious voice.

"The law of heaven is unkind and restless, and binds all living beings with the 36 laws of entering the Tao. Now I use the law of 'great rebellion and injustice' to restrain the law of heaven. If the law of heaven is the right way, then what are the laws of the world..."

Unfortunately, not many people could hear this soliloquy.

boom!

The mysterious fluctuations were suddenly transmitted to the Three Realms and Six Paths, spreading to every corner of this vast world.

As the saying goes, "When water strikes, it becomes strong; when arrow strikes, it moves far away. When the spirit returns, it weakens, and the oscillations turn around." Everything in the world is shaking, and the boundless vibrations, just like the six vibrations when Buddha became enlightened, spread to every corner.

At this moment, Ah Yue's thoughts were hazy. Because he was holding the jade ring, his spirit was gradually affected. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.

On the main road in the city, there happened to be a carriage pulled by four horses, and it was about to rush over like lightning.

"Still don't get out of the way!"

The driver who was driving shouted, his face turned pale. At this moment, a strong air current tore through the dense grass and shrubs on the roadside, crashed over like a wave, and suddenly stopped in front of Ah Yue.

boom!

There was a dull sound, and a figure flew over and finally hugged him.

…

Ah Yue was in a coma for a day and a night, and when he woke up, it was already the evening of the next day.

When he woke up, he found Master Xida beside him.

"Ayue, it seems you are finally awake."

The blind old man seemed to be keenly aware of his sobriety. He was sitting cross-legged in a mud house with a lamp burning next to him.

"You were almost hit by the city lord's carriage before. Thanks to someone, you saved your life. Come and say hello to Mr. Guan, he saved your life."

Ah Yue rubbed her eyes and suddenly found a man in black sitting cross-legged on the ground beside the straw mat where he was sleeping.

"My name is Guanqiu."

The young man smiled slightly: "He is a disciple of the Daoqi lineage. Hello, Ayue."

"Hello, Brother Guan."

Ah Yue was a little surprised.

"Thank you for saving me... Also, how did I do it, I fell asleep for no reason."

Guanqiu and the blind old man seemed to have troubled expressions, but neither of them explained. Master Xida just said calmly: "You are not seriously ill, you are just temporarily frightened. You will be fine if you wake up."

The old man smiled slightly and touched his head.

"Ayue, you must be hungry too, right? I prepared some food for you before. Get up and eat quickly."

"OK."

Ah Yue was unexpectedly naive. His stomach was indeed empty. If Master Xida hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have been able to remember it.

After hearing the old man reminding him that he had prepared food, he didn't think too much, so he slowly got up and went to find some food outside the earthen house to fill his stomach.

At the same time, Guanqiu and Master Xida were obviously chatting, but Ah Yue couldn't understand what they said.

"Jushi Guan, are you here also about the treasure of the Six Paths?"

The blind old man said calmly: "To be honest, I have been in the desert for so many years and I have never heard any news related to the Six Paths Treasure. Whether this thing is true or false is really full of unknowns. number."

"I know that too."

Guan Qiu also showed a cautious look, and he mused: "It's just that I bear the heavy responsibility of the master, and it is necessary to conduct an investigation on this matter. In the desert, with the dynasty founded by the ancient Sun Wuzun, There are many ruins related to the holy city, but when it comes to understanding these ruins, only the Zen master’s lineage has a good grasp of them. This is why I came here to seek help from the master.”

"Yeah?"

The blind old man held a string of rosary beads in his hand. He silently recited a few Buddhist chants and sighed: "Principal Guan came to me for help with the iron order from my master's sect. I can't refuse this matter, but during this time , many outsiders came to the desert, and these people were also secretly exploring.

As far as I know, some of them are definitely not good people. The Navaratna Canyon you are going to, also known as Devil's Canyon, is a forbidden place. Although there is also a holy place there, if you go there without permission, you will inevitably touch something inside. Charm. "

"Forbidden place? Demonic enchantment?"

Guan Qiu asked in confusion: "What exactly is there in that place?"

"In the past, when the Nanda dynasty was established, many kingdoms in the oasis were destroyed. Although Chandragupta later converted to Buddhism and chose to implement benevolent policies, the murders committed in the past have not disappeared."

The blind old man continued: "The Navaratna Valley is a city that was massacred by Chandragupta in the past. Before Wu Zun was enlightened, as the king of Nanda, he killed many people and massacred the whole city at every turn. population.

During the siege of the city, countless people died in his wrath. Later, Chandragupta vowed to repent and built a temple in Devil's Canyon to worship many monks and pray for the blessings of the deceased. "

A distant history was faintly revealed from the old man's mouth.

"It's just that later on, Chandragupta was bewitched by others and escaped into the devil's path. He personally slaughtered all the monks in the Devil's Canyon, used great power to break the earth's veins, and sealed the entire Buddhist temple in the earth's veins. As a result, the canyon became a It’s a desperate situation, full of fierce evil spirits, and all kinds of dangers.”

"So this is what happened!?"

Guan Qiu was also very sad when he heard this. He asked other questions and discussed with the old man for a long time.

Ah Yue was indifferent to this. After he had eaten and drank enough, he found that the jade ring on his chest was a little hot, so he picked it up curiously. Suddenly, a strange voice sounded in his mind.

"Little guy, did you hear anything before you fell into coma?"

Ah Yue was startled and almost dropped the jade ring in her hand to the ground.

"You...who are you?"

"No need to speak, just think in my mind and I can hear your voice."

The voice replied somewhat casually: "I have been living in the jade ring finger."

Ah Yue looked around after hearing this. He looked around, but there was no one around. Only then did he confirm that no one was playing tricks on him.

"How come you live in the Jade Ring? No one can live here?"

"Mustard seeds can be hidden in the Sumeru... Why can't people live in the jade ring finger...?"

He Ping asked back: "You haven't answered me yet. Did you hear someone talking before you fell into coma? Did he say, 'The way of heaven is unkind and restrains all living beings with the 36 laws of entering the way'?"

"Ah, it seems there is."

Ah Yue nodded, he covered his mouth again, and answered in his mind: "But I didn't hear it clearly, and I'm not sure whether that's the case."

"Yeah?"

He Ping did not continue to ask, and he did not expect that Emperor You would cause such a big fight.

"You Emperor, when I fought against the Buddha Mother, Shadow Lord, and Wutong Demon Lord, something terrible happened..."

"It looks like! He has really changed the 36-year plan of entering the Dao established by Heaven..."

At this moment, even if he is in this jade finger, he can still use the heavenly secrets to calculate various changes in the world.

After He Ping observed the changes in the way of heaven, he suddenly sensed that among the 36 entrance methods, the "Thousand Phantasms of All Things", the entrance method, had completely disappeared. The original Taiyi Taoist Palace, which occupied the top three, all dropped by one level. , replaced by a brand-new method - the "Dragon-Slaying Method"!
