Chapter 1353 Light and Sound Relics
Because of the existence of Tianshui Shenlei, the architecture of Leijitan is also very distinctive.
The buildings of Leijitan, big and small, are all pointed at the top and wide at the bottom. The tip is like a sharp thorn, piercing the sky, as if they want to poke a hole in the sky. The bottom is huge and spread out, and even more than half of it is hidden under the vast and deep sea.
To put it bluntly, it is like a long meat bun...
In a fairly elegant wine shop, Xiao Mian and Tuoba Lan sat opposite each other.
But when Xiao Mian took out the Nine Dragons Tyrant Drink and handed it to Tuoba Lan, the latter did not take it.
After a slight surprise, looking at the other party's bald head, Xiao Mian smiled suddenly.
Shaking his head, Xiao Mian raised the wine gourd and drank a sip of the Nine Dragons Tyrant Drink with a little loneliness.
"Tuoba! You finally took this step..."
"Donor Xiao! This is my fate, and it is also caused by karma!"
"Fate? Karma? Maybe..."
Seeing Tuoba Lan's sincere face and calling him "Donor Xiao" smoothly, Xiao Mian didn't know how to continue the conversation with Tuoba Lan.
Tuoba Lan, on the contrary, seemed to be well prepared and had no intention of dragging his feet.
He flipped his hand and a spiritual fruit appeared on his palm.
Xiao Mian raised his eyebrows when he saw it.
Silently, Xiao Mian also took out a spiritual fruit. The two spiritual fruits were put together, the same size and appearance, but one was gold and the other was purple.
"Donor Xiao, do you know what this is?"
"..., not very clear! But this is born from the Bodhi tree, the sacred tree of Buddhism, and it must be a treasure of Buddhism. But, Benchu, how could I bear to give it to you?"
"Don't worry, Donor Xiao! Let me tell you slowly..."
It turns out that these two spiritual fruits have a name, called - Light and Sound Relics!
The purple one belongs to thunder, which is the Buddha's Light Relics; the gold one belongs to wind, which is the Heavenly Sound Relics.
If one of them is alone, although it seems magical, it is useless. Only when two are put together can they play a great role.
According to Tuoba Lan, the light and sound relics combined together can reverse time and space, transmit the image and sound of the Buddha, and present it to the cultivator.
The Buddha is one of the six overlords of the spiritual world. Outside the three realms of immortals, demons and spirits, he opened up the Xumi space, created the Western Paradise, and controlled the world.
Even for the Buddhist cultivators in the spiritual world, it is extremely difficult to see this Buddha.
Moreover, this cultivation world has been exiled from the spirit world for nearly ten thousand years.
There are thousands of Buddhist monks in the world, but except for the holy monks Ananda and Kasyapa, who are said to be the direct disciples of the Buddha, no one has ever seen the Buddha.
Now, this opportunity is in front of Tuoba Lan...
Of course, the spiritual fruit in Tuoba Lan's hand alone is not enough.
But before Tuoba Lan finished speaking, Xiao Mian had already placed the spiritual fruit in his hand in Tuoba Lan's palm, and the two spiritual fruits spun around, with the sound of wind and thunder.
Tuoba Lan was shocked and looked at Xiao Mian deeply.
"Tuoba! Remember: no matter you are Tuoba Lan from Xishuzhou or the Dharma Protector of Buddhism, you are my brother in life and death! One life, two brothers!"
"Amitabha! I have cut off the six roots and don't care about the world!" Holding the two spiritual fruits tightly in his hands, Tuoba Lan smiled slightly: "But you and I are still friends!"
"Yes!"
"Thanks to the kindness of Mr. Xiao, I have collected this pair of light and sound relics..."
"No problem! If you are in a hurry to pay homage to your Buddha, just go ahead! Anyway, with the Beidou Si Nan Pan on you, you and I can always contact each other."
"In this case, I'll take my leave!"
Standing up, Tuoba Lan clasped his hands together towards Xiao Mian and said goodbye.
Tuoba Lan left freely, but Xiao Mian was melancholy.
Thinking back to the past, on the way to the west, Xiao Mian, Tuoba Lan and Gui Hai, after sending the little monk to Shichahai, went east all the way, living and dying together.
In the final battle of Ghost Howl Valley, Tuoba Lan died to save Xiao Mian.
Later, Xiao Mian did not see Tuoba Lan until he was in Dahuai Village in Yinshang Territory.
However, at that time, Tuoba Lan not only lost all his cultivation, but also lost all his memories. It was only thanks to the little monk that he saved Tuoba Lan.
After that, Tuoba Lan was alone and traveled far away.
I never thought that we would meet again at the Thunder Sacrifice Pond in the East China Sea.
When we met again, not only had the stars changed, but also things and people had changed.
Tuoba Lan obviously came for the spiritual fruit, got the spiritual fruit, and turned around and left.
Xiao Mian didn't even have time to tell him about his death in the sea and then turning into a dragon...
Perhaps, in Tuoba Lan's mind now, Buddha is the only one?
That's it!
That's it...
Everyone has their own opportunities, and it's enough to see him well.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mian took out the Nine Dragon Tyrant Drink again, intending to get drunk.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a figure quietly emerged.
How sharp is Xiao Mian's spiritual perception?
Moreover, the man had no intention of hiding his tracks.
"May I ask, senior: is the ninth-level divine brew Nine Dragon Tyrant Drink in your wine gourd?" The words were timid, but it was obvious that he had mustered up the courage.
Xiao Mian looked in the direction of the voice and saw an ugly fish huddled aside, with a pair of black eyes staring at the wine gourd in his hand.
With a glance, Xiao Mian knew that the strange fish was just a fourth-level fish demon that had just formed a demon pill. Although curious, he still nodded.
The strange fish became more excited when he saw it, and subconsciously moved two steps.
"Senior! Can... Can..."
"What do you want? Just say it!"
Seeing that the strange fish looked nervous but couldn't explain why, Xiao Mian was worried for him.
"Senior, can you let me have a sip of Kowloon Ba Drink?"
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the strange fish finally revealed its purpose.
When Xiao Mian heard this, he was startled for a moment, then became a little unhappy.
For one thing, Jiulong Bayin is a ninth-level divine brew. Not only is it valuable, but ordinary monks cannot buy it even if they have empty spiritual stones.
Secondly, that strange fish is nothing more than a fourth-order fish demon. If he rashly drank the ninth-order spiritual wine like the Kowloon Ba Drink, he would probably burn himself to death!
Just thinking about it again, when I first came down from the mountain, I was teased with spiritual wine by Xie Ying in the Wanxiangzhai in Lingchuanfang City, and made a fool of myself.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mian felt a little calmer.
"You can't drink this wine!"
"This junior can drink this wine!"
"Hey! I said you..."
"Senior, are you afraid that this junior, who is just a fourth-level fish demon, will die if he drinks this ninth-level divine brew? Thank you for your sympathy, senior, but I don't know something!"
Seeing that Xiao Mian did not yell at him like other high-level monks, the strange fish smoothed out his thoughts, stopped stammering, and started talking.
Although this strange fish is only at the fourth level, it has extraordinary talents.
If ordinary monks want to improve their cultivation, they must practice diligently and work hard.
This is true even for demon cultivators who focus on the power of blood.
But this strange fish is extraordinary!
Ever since he was born, he has been addicted to alcohol.
What's even more amazing is that as he drinks more and more spiritual wine, the strange fish's cultivation level becomes higher and higher - it's like a natural wine jar!
However, in the demon clan where blood is supreme, after the monster's cultivation reaches the fourth level, it will be difficult to make progress. Also, the spiritual wine he can obtain is also limited by this.
Without the stimulation of high-level spiritual wine, the strange fish's cultivation has stagnated.
For the sake of first-come-first-served basis, Guanyu came to this wine shop to earn some extra money, which he spent on purchasing various high-end spiritual wines.
But for him, the high level is just the top of the sixth level.
Even the seventh-level spirit wine was beyond the reach of a fourth-level monster like him.
Today, I saw Xiao Mian drinking heavily from the Nine Dragons Ba Drink, which was suspected to be the legendary ninth-grade spiritual wine. The strange fish's desire suppressed his fear, and he couldn't help but step forward to ask.
"One sip! This junior only needs one sip of Kowloon Overlord Drink!"
"..."
Seeing the eager expression on the strange fish's face, Xiao Mian hesitated.
There was no need for the strange fish to lie to him for a sip of spiritual wine, not to mention that what he said was untrue. If the fourth-level fish demon drinks the ninth-level spiritual wine, even if he does not die, he will lose half of his life.
Unless he was crazy, how could he destroy himself like this?
Just when Xiao Mian was hesitating about the beauty of adulthood, the strange fish spoke human words again.
"Senior! Is that great monk just now your friend?"
"..., yes! What? Do you know him?"
"No! No! No!" The strange fish shook his head repeatedly, but then said: "I have seen him!"
"How to say?"
"To be precise: I have seen his portrait!"
"……,go on!"
"A few days ago, the ancestor of Nascent Soul, a man and a woman, two human monks, came to our store. At that time, there was a photo bead depicting the appearance of the great monk! Senior, you also know: In the Thunder Sacrifice Pond , there are not many bald Buddhists in the world, I will never forget it once I see it!”
"Image beads?"
"A low-level magic weapon engraved with information!"
"Two human Yuanying ancestors, one male and one female?"
"Yes! The female cultivator is about three years old. She is as beautiful as a flower, with a jade face as cold as frost, and is awe-inspiring and inviolable. The male cultivator is dressed in black robes, and has a strange aura. You can tell at a glance that he is definitely not a good person!"
"Didn't you hear what they said?"
"This... the two seniors used their spiritual consciousness to transmit their voices, so the juniors can't hear it! As for the image-beading bead, it seems that it was activated accidentally..."
"Look at that man, does he look like this?"
While speaking, Xiao Mian took out a branding stone and carved the image of Meng Yin into it.
Overshadowed!
Xiao Mian actually met this person, although it was decades ago.
Xiao Mian was deceived by the young monk and teleported directly from Shanjian City to Western Shu Prefecture. He met Tuoba Ling by chance and was involved in the crisis of the Tuoba clan.
Meng Yin was one of the five golden elixirs of ghost ways that invaded the Tuoba tribe at that time.
That day, Xiao Mian was trapped in a cave. Although he heard Meng Yin's voice in the cave, he felt that it was familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
After that, Xiao Miancai determined Meng Yin's identity through the clue that "ghosts and beasts are tired of breathing", and of course, his physical characteristics.
It was precisely because of this that Xiao Mian was able to put the blame for his assassination on Meng Yin.
Now seeing the strange fish nodding his head repeatedly, Xiao Mian was greatly shocked.
Now that Mengyin is here, the other Nascent Soul female cultivator must be Xia Bingyun!
But if this couple doesn't go out to cause trouble in the world, what do they want to do with Tuoba Lan?
Yes!
Tuoba Lan, now that he has been tonsured, is an official Buddhist Dharma protector.
Although Tuoba Lan is now just a golden elixir monk, as the contemporary protector of the Holy Monk Kasyapa, his status is even higher than that of the spiritual monk at the beginning.
Tuoba Lan appeared in Thunder Sacrifice Pond, could it be to form an alliance with Silver Thunder King?
If something unexpected happens to Tuoba Lan at this juncture...
Silver Thunder King can't argue!
Leijitan is to blame!
The alliance between Leijitan and the Buddhist sect in Xishu Prefecture came to nothing.
If the two families are at odds with each other, the Three East China Sea Divine Halls will have an opportunity to take advantage of it!
But Meng Yin probably didn't expect: Silver Thunder King, the Lord of the Thunder Sacrifice Pond, was so taboo about the little monk!
Just a projection of a spirit body scared Silver Thunder King to call himself "junior".
Even if he had to ask the sky for courage, Silver Thunder King would not dare to touch Tuoba Lan.
It was because Meng Yin didn't know that Silver Thunder King was afraid of the little monk that he dared to attack Tuoba Lan - this was something Xiao Mian would never allow!
Thinking of this, Xiao Mian turned his eyes.
The strange fish, a pair of eyes were staring at the wine gourd in his hand.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Mian took out a wine gourd and shook it towards the strange fish, and then in front of the strange fish, Xiao Mian opened the wine gourd stopper.
Suddenly, a scent of spiritual wine came to his nose.
The strange fish took a deep breath, but soon opened his eyes.
"Senior... Senior, what do you mean? This is the seventh-level spiritual wine, Hundred Fruits Condensed Jade!"
"Yes! You have a sharp nose!" Nodding, Xiao Mian said kindly: "If your information is true, I will satisfy your wish. Let alone a mouthful of Nine Dragons Tyrant Drink, even if I give you this whole pot, what's the harm? But now I can't be sure of the authenticity of the information you provided, so I can't give you Nine Dragons Tyrant Drink. Moreover, if you rashly use Nine Dragons Tyrant Drink, God knows what the consequences will be. In this case, it's better for you and me to take a step back and use this pot of Hundred Fruits Condensed Jade to reward you first!"
"This..., Senior is indeed thoughtful, but..."
Obviously, the strange fish is obsessed with Nine Dragons Tyrant Drink.
"No problem! If your information is true, I will give you Nine Dragons Tyrant Drink anyway!"
"Really...really?"
Happiness came too suddenly, so that the strange fish stuttered again.
If only one can be chosen between the seventh-grade spirit wine and the ninth-grade spirit wine, the strange fish will naturally choose the ninth-grade spirit wine - even if it is a mouthful for a pot!
But if both can be obtained, who would complain about too much?
Besides, this strange fish is addicted to alcohol...
"But I have a condition!"
"Please tell me, senior!"
"I want to take you away from here, follow me today! If you didn't lie to me, I will fulfill my promise; if you dare to lie to me, I will make you live a life worse than death!"
"Okay!"
Almost without thinking, the strange fish took the order and left.
After that, the strange fish resigned from the owner of the wine shop and followed Xiao Mian.
He thought that he served tea and water in the wine shop, welcoming and seeing off guests, in order to make more money and buy spirit wine. Now that the top-grade spirit wine is in front of him, why should he go far away?
Seeing that the strange fish was so straightforward, Xiao Mian believed his words by 70% or 80%.
With the strange fish, Xiao Mian found an inn in Leijitan. Xiao Mian, who had already decided to leave Leijitan, put his plan on hold because of Tuoba Lan's matter.
Although Tuoba Lan was a little unfamiliar with Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian could not stand by and watch him die.
This was the path Xiao Mian insisted on, and it had nothing to do with him, Tuoba Lan...
