Chapter 448: Announce to the World
The hill is nameless, the small temple is nameless.
This small temple on a hill is definitely the most magnificent place Xiao Mian has ever seen since he started practicing. Even the oasis of Shanjian City back then could not match it.
With Xiao Mian's determination and character, he was still stunned by what he saw in front of him. As for the others, they were naturally even worse than Xiao Mian.
Tuoba Lan and Zhu Yanji just paid it back, but Guihai was drooling and wanted to catch those rare birds. His intention was self-evident.
In the end, Zhu Yanji, who reacted, kicked him hard, and Gui Hai finally woke up.
Holy Monk Ananda didn't care and watched the crowd having fun with a smile.
Soon after, under the arrangement of Holy Monk Ananda, everyone moved into various monasteries in the small temple to take a short rest to relieve themselves from the dust and dust along the way.
Sitting in his monastery, Xiao Mian was in a daze in silence.
Now that the young monk has safely returned to Shichahai, it is time to consider his own fate. According to the original agreement with the young monk, after asking about the biggest secret in this world, he should leave Xishu Prefecture. The tour continued.
But if that happens, not only will we have to part ways with the little monk, but Tuoba Lan, Gui Hai, Zhu Yanji and others may also have to part ways...
Thinking of this, even Xiao Mian didn't feel a little sad...
The next moment, he flipped his fingers and a small square mirror appeared in Xiao Mian's hand.
This small square mirror was exactly what Xiao Mian got after the phantom guarding the Hall of Illusions divided the light screen into four.
When the sun screen is divided into four parts, the piece of Guihai that manifests the dragon is called the Dragon God Mirror; the piece of Tuoba Lan that manifests the wind phenomena in the sky is called the Wind God Mirror; and the piece of Zhu Yanji that manifests all the ghosts is called the God of Wind Mirror. It was a mirror of ghosts and gods; Xiao Mian's piece had no abnormality. However, from Guitou afterwards, Xiao Mian learned that the piece he had obtained should be called - the mirror of the gods!
The Divine Mirror is a treasure that can resist the detection of others’ divine consciousness!
Of course, this kind of passive resistance has its upper limit. If the opponent's spiritual consciousness is too strong, or focuses on Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian, who has not yet condensed his own spiritual consciousness, will still show flaws.
But judging from the fact that Holy Monk Ananda didn't pay attention to himself just now, the role of the Divine Mirror is still very great.
Thinking about the fact that in Wan Zong City, the old man Wan Zong Sheng saw through Xiao Mian's fellow practitioners of the third lineage at a glance. When Xiao Mian travels to Zhongzhou in the future, he will inevitably encounter this kind of old monster.
Without the Divine Mirror, it would be difficult to move forward!
Therefore, the Imperial Mirror can be said to be Xiao Mian’s biggest gain from his trip to Western Shuzhou!
As for the mysterious energy that flowed into the Imperial Mirror when the Temple Guard Phantom infused its own spiritual energy into the Golden War Spirit, Guitou called it the Spirituality of the Temple Guard Phantom.
According to Guitou, psychic energy is actually the general term for spirit and energy.
The golden war spirit of that day was already full of spirituality. What it lacked was just insufficient energy. Therefore, what the guardian phantom supplemented to the golden war spirit was only abundant energy. The remaining spirituality of the palace guardian phantom returned again. Arrived in the imperial mirror.
"I dare to ask Mr. Ghost: What is the use of this ray of spirituality?"
"Spiritual things can have great or small effects. If it falls into the hands of ignorant monks, it is likely to be the end of spiritual annihilation; but if it falls into the hands of some high-level monks holding spiritual treasures, it can be used to make up for it. Lingbao’s spirituality is incredible!”
"To make up for the spiritual treasure's spiritual power? But I don't have any spiritual treasure at the moment!"
"You kid, have you forgotten what you got from the Five Elements Sect's secret vault?" Xiao Mian was stunned by Guitou's words, and then suddenly remembered that he did get a broken needle from the Five Elements Sect's secret vault. The predecessor of the broken needle was the Lingbao. Thinking like this, Xiao Mian took out the broken needle that he had almost forgotten from his white jade flying pendant. The black broken needle was just like before. Xiao Mian held the broken needle and said to himself: "It's difficult. Isn’t it possible that by integrating that ray of spirituality into the broken needle, it can be restored into a spiritual treasure?”
"Hmph! You have a beautiful idea, kid!"
After being scolded by the ghost head, Xiao Mian realized that although the broken needle in his hand was once a spiritual treasure, it had long been spiritually exhausted because it had not been nourished by the spirit of the weapon for five thousand years. The loss of activity cannot be restored by integrating spirituality. According to Guitou, if you want to restore this broken needle, you must first repair the broken needle completely, then integrate it with spirituality, and slowly warm it up.
"I asked you to capture this spirituality, not for this broken needle, but for the Divine Mirror!"
"What does Ghost Lao mean? The Divine Mirror itself is a spiritual treasure?"
"The light screen has been around as long as the Illusion Temple has existed. It is something that can last for hundreds of thousands of years. To say it is a spiritual treasure is to underestimate it! Although it is divided into four parts now, the quality of the Divine Mirror is still there. It’s definitely not at the level of a magic weapon. Now that you have gained that ray of spirituality, if you cultivate it well, it’s not impossible to become a spiritual treasure.”
Guitou's words did not mean death, but they were enough to make Xiao Mian inexplicably excited.
Lingbao!
That is a spiritual treasure!
What's more, the function of the Divine Mirror is very special. It is used to prevent the other monks from detecting one's own body. Although it cannot defeat the enemy, it can conceal many secrets about Xiao Mian.
If that ray of spirituality could only achieve one spiritual treasure, Xiao Mian would also choose the Divine Mirror.
Even though Xiao Mian looked at the small divine mirror over and over again for a long time, he still didn't find anything magical about it. If it weren't for the ghost's words and the fact that he had seen the divine mirror in person, Xiao Mian would have really thought that he had it again. I was deceived by the ghost head.
After searching for a long time to no avail, Xiao Mian sent his true energy into the Divine Mirror.
As Xiao Mian's mind changed, the square-shaped divine mirror, which was originally as big as a palm, gradually turned into an octagonal and simple bronze mirror the size of a walnut. Pulling out a fine chain, Xiao Mian hung the divine mirror around his neck as if it were a necklace.
But at this moment, a Buddhist chant resounded in all directions.
Curious, Xiao Mian walked out of the room and looked up. He saw flowers flying all over the sky, Buddha's light lingering, and Buddhist chants. It was auspicious from heaven.
At the same time, Zhu Yanji, Gui Hai and Tuoba Lan were also alarmed.
The four of them gathered together and tried to guess what happened. A Dharma decree came from the sky: On the eighth day of April, in the Ten Continents Sea, Ananda preached the Dharma and Kasyapa kept the precepts!
The grand and solemn voice resounded in all directions, making Xiao Mian and the other four look at each other. Thinking deeper, Xiao Mian was shocked to find that this Dharma decree might have spread throughout the entire West Shuzhou!
Sure enough, at the same time, the ten great cloud deserts and four hundred and eighty temples in West Shuzhou all echoed this concise and concise Dharma decree, which shook the four directions as soon as it came out.
Keeping the precepts, this is why the little monk returned all the way east and rushed back to the Ten Cha Sea.
Although the little monk before was also dressed as a little novice monk, calling himself "little monk", and others also called him "little holy monk", he was actually not considered a Buddhist, which was the fundamental reason why the Demon Seal and the Mieyuan dared to invade.
Once the awakened little monk keeps the precepts, with his own determination as the link, he will integrate the three of precepts, concentration, and wisdom, and he will be a true Buddhist monk!
By then, even if the demon cultivators at the level of the Yuanying Patriarch come, there will be no danger.
What Xiao Mian didn't expect was that the holy monk Ananda would keep the precepts for the little monk so soon. After all, today is the first day of April, and seven days later it will be the eighth day of April. But thinking about it again, it's good this way. After the little monk's business is over, it will be the time for him to leave.
At Wanning Temple in Liuyun Desert, the current abbot, the Divine Monk Mie Du, looked at the smallpox falling from the sky with a gloomy expression, but in the end he put his hands together and silently chanted a Buddhist name.
At Longhua Temple in Liyun Desert, Master Mingjian also looked at the smallpox in a daze.
There is an allusion in Buddhism that "the Buddha picked up a flower and Kasyapa smiled". Now there is no sign that the smallpox is falling. The first thing Master Mingjian thought of was the little holy monk!
Has he finally returned to the Ten Chasma Sea safely?
Dharma Seal, Dharma Seal...
But at this moment, a figure came behind the Divine Monk Mingjian.
"Master Abbot!"
"You are out of retreat?" Turning around, looking at the young monk in front of him, Mingjian's expression was neither sad nor happy. The young monk nodded, and then said no more. After a moment of silence, Mingjian said: "Since you are out of retreat, follow me to the Ten Chasma Sea!"
"Yes!"
On the eighth day of April, Kasyapa kept the precepts.
For Buddhist monks, this is a big event. At that time, the abbots of the ten famous temples in Xishuzhou will definitely be present to witness this event. This is a convention. Another convention is that the abbots of the ten famous temples will choose the most outstanding disciples of the younger generation to accompany them.
At the same time, almost all other temples in Shiyun Desert in Xishuzhou are full of strange phenomena. Almost at the same time, a piece of news spread like wildfire - the little holy monk Mahakasyapa has returned safely to Shichahai, and will perform the precepts ceremony on the eighth day of April, the Buddha's birthday, and re-convert to Buddhism to become the new generation of guardian of Xishuzhou.
Among those who learned of this news, some were surprised, some were excited, but more were overjoyed, because it meant that Xishuzhou already had a new guardian for the next thousand years, and there was no need to worry even if the old holy monk Ananda passed away one day.
For the ordinary monks at the bottom of Xishuzhou, they did not care who would take charge of the power of Xishuzhou. They only hoped to have a stable Xishuzhou!
