Chapter 548 The deeper you go, the more desperate you become
"It's a scary world."
Ren Qing couldn't help sighing, controlled the fungus soul to explore the inner world, and found that the distribution of towns was almost the same as the surface layer.
There are a large number of monks in every town, all in the name of hanging pots to help the world, doing some men's robbers and women's prostitution, making the inner world full of despair.
However, Ren Qing did not discover the power system in the inner world.
Including monks, all the people are ordinary mortals, but their life expectancy is higher, and they can live to one hundred and fifty years old.
Social order is firmly in the hands of many monks.
They control the three religions and nine streams, and they are benevolent and moral to the outside world, but in reality there are monks behind brothels and casinos.
Don't think that monks will fight openly and secretly for merit, but as long as they find that the people are suspicious of them, they will join hands without hesitation.
Only long-term rule over the town can harvest merit more stably.
Ren Qing called this group of monks "merit monks".
Gongde monks also have temples directly under them, but there is no statue of Buddha in them. According to them, only by believing in oneself can we overcome the sea of suffering.
In Ren Qing’s view, purely because of the existence of the Buddha, people’s gratitude to the virtuous monk will become impure and affect the harvest of merit.
After Ren Qing returned to Sanxiang City, he attached the fungus soul to the body of Taoist Heishui.
After experiencing the yin and yang separation with his wife and children, the people of Heishuidao became extremely depressed and seemed to have lost the motivation to live.
He wandered aimlessly on the street every day, and when he occasionally saw a monk, he came back to his senses and said hello with his hands folded devoutly.
After the ups and downs, the people of Heishui Taoist have undoubtedly regarded the meritorious monk as a good person. If the monastery did not accept him, I am afraid they would all want to become monks.
Wu Shan occasionally went to rescue the people of Heishui Tao, so that the people of Heishui Tao would not starve to death.
But he didn't come out of good intentions, but like the people of Heishuidao, once his mentality is out of balance and he wants to do evil, it will be difficult to restrain.
It is inevitable that many disasters will occur, so you can continue to earn merits.
Compared to Kong Chan, Wu Shan, who has twenty-three meritorious relics, is indeed a cunning and cunning man, with all kinds of schemes at his fingertips.
Ren Qing had a hunch that Jingzhou on the second floor was still not the end.
There must be a process for monks to ascend to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. They may have to go through multiple layers of screening and finally come into contact with the Three Dao Patriarchs.
While he was thinking to himself, the Heishui Taoist finally stopped being in pain.
The man from Heishuidao had a thin body at this time, his cheeks were sunken, his eyes were dull, and his hair was almost completely white overnight.
He returned to the village outside the city in a daze, attracting whispers from the villagers.
Fortunately, it is severe winter now, and the corpses of his wife and children have not decomposed, but there is more or less a stench, which attracts carrion insects to fly.
Heishuidao people dug a deep pit in the courtyard, buried the bodies of his wife and children in it, and simply made two tombstones.
He also intentionally left a place for himself to rest in the tomb after death.
After finishing all this, and after the first seven days, the people of Heishui Taoist regained some vitality, and went fishing in the lake by boat.
Ren Qing was not surprised. Heishuidao people were originally in the surface world, and they didn't have a personality that worried about gains and losses. In fact, it gave him the impression that they were mainly ruthless and unscrupulous.
It's a pity that in the inner world, even if the people of Heishuidao regain their strength, they will only face more disasters and become tools for others to obtain merit.
Ren Qing did not choose to follow the Heishui Taoist, because he was really too lazy to watch the third-rate drama.
It even happened a few days ago, similar to the situation of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, in the end both men and women died in love under the peach tree.
Parents are in pain, and the meeting is hosted by the meritorious monk.
As a result, the meritorious monk took out two butterflies from his sleeve with a blindfold, saying that their souls were attached to the insects, and they still stayed together.
The meritorious monk's method of harvesting merit made Ren Qing's scalp numb.
It is even more unnecessary to stop it, because this is the rule of the inner world, and the interest group composed of meritorious monks will mobilize the whole body.
For the time being, don't act rashly, so as not to interrupt the only clues.
Ren Qing lives temporarily in the courtyard of Taoist Heishui.
The village where the Heishuidao people live is sparsely populated. To be precise, because there are no merchants, and it is difficult to buy bulk supplies in the shops.
As a result, most of the population is concentrated in various towns, controlled by meritorious monks.
The village is very safe, only children under the age of fifteen, and some women and children.
Ren Qing realized at this time why there are more males in the surface world. He originally thought that refining Gu worms requires a strong physique, so males have the upper hand invisibly.
Now it seems that most women are not the target of meritorious monks.
Merit monks need women to reproduce the population, so as to increase the efficiency of merit acquisition, so that more people can have the opportunity to ascend to the world of bliss.
Ren Qing knows that it is not difficult to go to the inner world, and there are even more than one way.
It can completely allow the fungus soul to refine the gateway to the mirror world, and the body can go to the inner world through the mirror world.
Or imitate those evil spirits in Jingzhou, and by extolling Ren Qing's name, they should also be gradually drawn into the inner world.
There is no rush to spread the name, and it is another question whether to attract the various forces from the surface world to the inner world.
So he must first determine whether the inner world is impossible to practice, and whether the rules for the formation of immortal positions have changed.
Go to the inner world rashly, if the spell fails, won't you be trapped here to death, and you can only use the dead to escape.
With Ren Qing's current powerful body and soul, it is estimated that it will take decades to re-conceive the body after death, which is indeed a waste of time.
Thinking of this, Ren Qing searched in the village, and finally led an old dog back to the courtyard.
He intends to try to practice the corpse dog method. The reason why he chose this method is mainly because the fungus soul in the inner world is a "mad dog disease".
The mad dog disease is the rabies in the previous life. Patients are usually afraid of drinking water, become more irritable, and have a very high mortality rate.
Under normal circumstances, it is very troublesome to master the guard method, but the mad dog disease is related to the "dog-beating stick method" of physical martial arts, and one can transfer to the corpse dog method after perfecting physical martial arts.
【Corpse Dog Art】
【Created by the corpse dog Taoist, the cultivation needs to feed the newborn puppies with their own flesh and blood. After they grow up, use the fragments of internal organs to stimulate their ferocity until they die suddenly. 】
There are different genres in physical martial arts, corresponding to three alienation routes.
The alienation route of the corpse dog method is actually a bit special. Both are related to beast control, but the "corpse dog" is to seize the corpse dog.
The warrior realm of the corpse dog is completely based on cultivating and nurturing corpse dogs, and they will take possession of their bodies when they reach the half corpse realm, so they will replace them.
Ren Qing infected the old dog with a mad dog disease, and began to help the latter get started with the dead dog method.
As a result, the old dog had no tendency to master the magic technique at all, but was dying under the torment of the mad dog disease within a few days.
Ren Qing thought for a long time, then stripped the mad dog's disease from the old dog's body, and then the old dog left the courtyard with its tail between its legs.
It seems that in the inner world, mastering spells should not be realistic.
Ren Qing had no choice but to target Gu worms. In theory, since they are all the same fairy position, the rules should be related.
Although there is no Gu worm in the inner world, it does not mean that Gu cannot be refined.
Ren Qing was thinking about the details of refining Gu, when he suddenly heard the sound of dense footsteps, and saw many children walking towards the courtyard.
After the children learned that the wife and children of the Heishui Taoist had died, they each took some paper money to pay homage to the tomb under the orders of the women and children.
In Jingzhou, there is indeed a saying that children are happy.
Although they were a little scared, they still had the courage to enter the courtyard. After all, poor people have long been in charge of their families, and they basically have to help with farm work in their early ten years old.
Ma Shan was at the forefront. At the age of fourteen, his skin was already tanned, and he was patiently explaining to the children beside him.
The children did not dare to be negligent, and first swept away the fallen leaves on the ground with a broom, and then Ma Shan held the earthen pot and lit it with a torch.
They recited the mantra of passing away, but it was indeed the mantra of the Pure Land of Buddhism.
"Namo Amida Poye, Dotagata Ye, Dodi Yeta, Amitabha, Amitabhi..."
The paper money was sprinkled into the brazier, and scattered in the air.
The ignorant eyes of the children did not realize the impermanence of life and death at all, but they still saw the sadness from the blood on the surface of the tombstone.
"The mantra of rebirth was wrong..."
"Who!"
Ma Shan widened his eyes and looked around in disbelief.
His eyes fell on the bottom of the banyan tree, and the smoke and dust from the burnt paper money slowly gathered, forming a vague half-meter phantom, with the head of a dragon and the body of a person.
The expressions of the children changed several times, and finally they were no longer afraid under the influence of the fungus soul.
"Follow me and recite the mantra of passing away."
"The Taishang ordered to surpass your lonely soul and ghosts, and all four lives will be gracious..."
After the completion of the transcendence, the coldness in the courtyard warmed up slightly, the toe separation technique was performed quietly, and the children had completely trusted Ren Qing.
Ren Qing asked the children to help him catch some insects in the mountains and forests around the village.
After Ma Shan heard about it, he immediately took the other children and left the courtyard excitedly. The experience just now seemed like a dream.
Ren Qing is not short of manpower, but actually wants to use this to test whether he can travel through the multi-layered world in a demonic way.
Suddenly, Ren Qing's expression became weird, and his consciousness returned to his body.
He closed his eyes and felt the difference between body and soul, and found that there was indeed a slight anomaly, as if the connection with the inner world had deepened.
An inexplicable sense of detachment came to my heart.
It seems that even if you don't tell the name, even knowing your own existence, Ren Qing can be gradually pulled into the inner world.
Fortunately, Ren Qing has taken preventive measures for the children's souls, otherwise they will spread to ten, ten to hundreds, or they will forcefully leave the surface.
Ren Qing stroked his chin and looked at the superficial Jingzhou, which was in a dormant stage.
It is really unreliable for him to go to the inner world alone, and he still has to find a way to get all the forces out.
Since the meritorious monk thinks that the surface world is hell, if he brings these evil spirits to the inner world, what expression will they have?
Ren Qing is also very curious. The paranoid people in the second world are crazy, but they are far from reaching the level of contacting the way of heaven.
What will the world be like in the inner layer?
