Without a heroic spirit, I can only end it myself.

[You want to cast a precious mirror to reveal the true appearance of demons and Buddhas. 】

[Luo Emperor was overjoyed and had a long chat in the mountains to discuss the details. 】

[Luo calendar year 3834, the eleventh day of the winter month. 】

[Luo Emperor returned to the imperial capital and announced to the world that he invited Xuntian to come to the capital. He was willing to worship as the emperor's teacher, discuss the principles of Dharma, and seek the road together. 】

【Buyi Xuntian has long been famous all over the world, and being valued by Luo Emperor is what he should do. 】

[You were invited to the capital and took up the position of emperor and master. You stopped touring the world. Everyone in the world sighed, and the Buddhist sect was also happy. 】

[In this name, you are in seclusion in the capital, practicing the wonderful Dharma all day long, and studying the precious mirror of the heart. 】

Luo Di didn't know that according to the records of Yuling World, the Demon Mirror should only appear after thousands of years, or it might never exist at all.

Therefore, when Jiang He said that he wanted to cast a precious mirror, he did not question it.

Instead, he said on the spot that as long as a demon-illuminating mirror could be built, no matter what was needed, the imperial court would fully support it.

Jiang He's first need is naturally the heart-gazing mirror.

Although it cannot be improved, cannot be repaired.

But after all, it is the prototype of the original demon mirror. Observing and imitating it will help to create your own treasure mirror.

Of course, considering that the Heart-Calling Mirror is a valuable weapon of the imperial court and has the miraculous ability to destroy falsehoods and clarify the truth, it is very likely to attract the attention of the Demon Buddha Sect.

Whether it is taken away from the imperial capital or directly contacted, it will easily arouse the vigilance of the demon Buddha.

Therefore, Emperor Luo invited Jiang He to the capital in the name of the emperor's master.

"The previous situation in Daluo was one where the enemy was in darkness and we were clear, and evil spirits were lurking."

"But as Luo Di understood everything, the situation reversed, and it has become an enemy in the dark."

"The advantages we finally gained can't be given away to others."

"With the name of Imperial Master, it becomes easier whether it is to contact the mind-appraisal mirror, or to check the classic records, or to secretly invite help..."

"The demon Buddha can't detect my true purpose at all."

Jiang He's prediction was not wrong.

Not only was the demon Buddha unaware of the truth, but he was sincerely delighted that he had assumed the position of imperial master——

Jiang He has been touring the world for many years, suppressing Buddhism until it can't breathe, and the original good situation is almost collapsed.

Now he serves as the emperor's master and no longer travels around the world.

Fu Men was completely relieved.

This shit-stirring stick is finally gone!

It would be great if those "crossers" also followed Gu Xantian and got out.

Even though there were still regrets, the abbots and monks of Buddhist temples in various places smiled when they lay in bed and finally had a peaceful sleep.

It's just that they can't think of it.

The "shit stirrer" didn't leave.

Instead, he is polishing the edge, preparing to turn into a sharp sword and pierce the demon Buddha's chest!

…

The only problem right now is...

The process of casting the Demon Mirror was not smooth.

Jiang He studied the Jianxin Mingjing in depth, and with the joint efforts of Emperor Luo, Xiang Luo, and the head of the Qi Sect, he spent a full six years figuring out its casting techniques and functions bit by bit.

A brand new mirror has been cast.

Its power far exceeds the high-hanging mirrors in various cities, and it already has 90% of the power of the original version!

However, there is still no way to defeat the evil spirit's true form.

And, just as Luo Di said.

The damage to the mind-gaining mirror stems from the decline of heaven and earth, the mystery fades away, and the magic method no longer exists.

Even if they invested another five or six years, they were still stuck at the bottleneck and unable to go any further——

Not even a little bit of hope can be seen.

It was at this time that disagreements arose.

…

The leader of the Qi Sect believed that there was a problem with the materials and techniques, and wanted to change the material combination and repair and strengthen the Jianxin Mirror to make it magical again.

…

Luo Xiang believes that the heaven and earth have declined and the magic has faded away.

Since the magic of the mind-gauging mirror is no longer what it used to be, wouldn't the evil skin-stealing method be affected?

There shouldn't be such a big gap when both sides are in magical decline.

Problems may arise with tendencies.

He decided to look through the old scriptures, trying to find the magic method of discerning the mind that was left in the war, and study it.

Then recast the mirror of appreciating the mind and shift the focus to discerning the real person, thereby achieving the goal.

…

Luo Di chose to go into the bookstore with Luo Xiang.

However, what he is looking for is not the magical method of appreciating the mind, but the records of the previous dynasty.

When demons steal human skin, the magical abilities they use cannot be created by the previous generation of demons and Buddhas themselves, right?

Even if He himself created it...

In the Taixuan world of the past, there were countless wonderful methods, and there were monks everywhere with amazing talents.

In the long years of hundreds of millions of years, it is impossible that similar methods have not appeared.

As long as he finds similar records, he might be able to find a way to crack the skin-stealing monster from the footprints of his predecessors.

…

Jiang He was not angry about the disagreement, but was very happy.

The leader of the Qi sect, Luo Xiang, and Luo Emperor each have their own reasons, and each symbolizes a path to a solution.

If it succeeds, everyone will naturally be happy and can directly promote the Demon Buddha Sect.

Even if it ultimately fails, it can prove to be the wrong path.

This saves a lot of trial and error time and costs.

This allows others to have more time to try more methods.

For example, Jiang He, the first thing he did after a disagreement was to bring Tianshi into the group——

It is one thing to have strength in numbers.

The path Ega decided to take was one of endless trial and error.

Since the method of appraising the mind is not feasible, he will try another way.

There are many sects in the world of Daluo, and each sect has inherited one or even more magical methods.

Each of these magical methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, and one of them may be the answer to the method of stealing skin.

Not to mention, Jiang He also learned a lot of magical powers from the book fairy.

Although it is obscure and difficult to understand, the effects are the best in this world, and it is also a path that can be tried.

He walked over one by one...

As long as you go through all the roads, you can always find the right one.

Of course, even with unlimited trial and error, there must be priorities.

Among the many paths, the wonderful methods inherited by Taoist sects are naturally more complete and magical.

Jiang He brought Tianshi here just to borrow Taoist methods and find an opportunity to break the situation.

…

The road to breaking through is extremely long.

Jiang He had expected this and was not impatient. He was immersed in it wholeheartedly.

In the city's pavilions, wind and frost rise and fall.

In the blink of an eye, seventy years have passed.

For mortals, seventy years is enough for children to grow old, youth to fade away, and beauty to turn into bones.

The world-famous Buyi Xantian in the past, and now the Great Luo Emperor Master, has gradually become a legend among teahouse storytellers, and is only mentioned occasionally.

But no matter the years or the world, they will never stop for one person.

There is a newcomer on the earthly stage, who has gone through ups and downs and left his own legend.

Among them, the most famous one is Gu Yuerong, the fairy of Qinhai.

Not only did she receive the imperial order from the emperor to patrol the world on his behalf, she was also the leader of the ferrymen, commanding the heroes.

The situation in the world is gradually changing, and Buddhism is gradually improving with the support of some sects and monks. Now, she has done many major things that shocked the world.

Most people in the world highly identify with her and regard her as the second generation of Xantian who has inherited the mantle of the Imperial Master.

The one who can compete with him is Xin Seng Wu You.

As the emperor's personal disciple and the first disciple of the Heart Buddha Sect, he has now traveled all over the world and taught countless Dharma.

Not only is he regarded as the leader of the Heart Buddha Sect, but those disciples who believe in the Heart Buddha believe that he will definitely reach the eighth level in the future and become a true Heart Buddha, and they have no doubt about this.

Only Wuyou himself, after hearing this statement, hurriedly stopped his disciples from complimenting him.

"Even if I really reach the eighth level of cultivation, I still have a long way to go in understanding Buddhism. How can I call myself a Buddha?"

"What's more, the Buddha is an enlightened being and has no discrimination. The more someone claims to be a Buddha, the less he is a Buddha."

The disciples of Xin Buddha realized something again and no longer flattered him.

As a result, no one praised him, and Wuyou's reputation increased.

at the same time.

Jiang He, who was practicing hard in the imperial capital, heard the Tianshi talk about this interesting story, so he took the time to write a letter and sent it to Wuyou.

There was only a short sentence in the letter.

"A person without discrimination will not care about what others call him, but will practice his own way."

Wuyou was impressed and told all his disciples about this.

As a result, a new story was added to "On Buddhism", and the world also praised the pair of masters and disciples, the emperor and the monk.

Only the "Buddha" sitting on the Lingshan Mountain was inexplicably shot twice and suffered from nausea for several months.

Not only Gu Yuerong and Wu You.

Over time, painter Li, Chen Xianglan and other ferryers have grown in strength and have made many achievements and become famous.

Their increased reputation also inspired the entire ferry group.

Today's people trust ferrymen even more than the government officers, soldiers, and sky patrol guards...

"Fairy Qinhai, Heart Monk Wuyou..."

"Among the younger generation, most of the monks who are famous all over the world are from the Crossroads?"

"When you say it, it's true!"

"The Imperial Master has trained so many young talents... Do you think he will establish a new sect?"

"Huh? Wasn't the Heart Buddha Sect founded by the Emperor's Master?"

"It's different. In the final analysis, the Heart Buddha Sect is still a Buddhist sect, and the person who is really in charge is Master Wuyou. The Imperial Master was brought in even in name only by the Xin Buddha disciples who forcibly brought him in. He himself has never said that he believes in the Heart Buddha Sect. Buddha……"

"I mean the real sect!"

In the teahouse, someone was discussing the future of the ferryman, which resonated with many tea drinkers.

Many tea drinkers believe that the ferryers will evolve into a new sect in the future.

They also excitedly discussed what the name of this sect would be.

On the contrary, in the cubicle, a woman put down her teacup and laughed dumbly.

"Sect..."

"It's a pity that sir doesn't have this intention."

While she was listening to the gossip, a spiritual bird quickly flew into the cubicle and landed on the table.

The woman took off the mailbox from the spirit bird and opened the letter, but fell into silence.

After a long time, I heard a sigh.

[You and other monks are studying the method of illuminating demons, trying to cast tools, find methods, search history, and Taoism...]

[However, as time goes by, seventy years have passed. 】

【Everyone found nothing. 】

[You cast the treasure according to the requested method. Even if you can catch a glimpse of the mysteries while the demon is wearing human skin, it will be completely useless once it is merged into the human skin. 】

[You already know that this method of stealing human skin is actually a method of merging and seizing a body. 】

[It can be said that demons steal human skin, or that humans exchange demon spirits. The soul and soul are one, but only the consciousness is different. Therefore, you can practice wonderful methods. Even if you look at the mind through a mirror, it is difficult to see the true nature. 】

[The bottleneck is difficult to break, and all the cultivators are disappointed, but you can deal with it calmly. 】

[Luo Diyi asked why. 】

[You say: If you want to try all kinds of methods, how can you sigh because of one method? 】

[All the practitioners were impressed, so they regained their momentum and tried the new method again. 】

【Luo calendar year 3905, the third day of winter. 】

[You are about to try a new method, but you get a letter from Painter Li. 】

[He said that he is old and has been ill in bed for a long time recently. He may not be able to survive the cold winter. He wants to see his master to say goodbye. 】

[You have noticed that after having known each other for 135 years, he is now in his prime years. 】

[You sighed in your heart, so you suspended the new method, said goodbye to all the cultivators, and rushed to Shuzhou. 】

[When he arrived at Li's house, he was received by Li's wife. She was also old, no longer as heroic as before, and had already retired to the world. 】

[Entering the room, Painter Li was already lying in bed and found it difficult to get up. He seemed to be returning to the light and wanted to get up to greet you, but you blocked him. 】

[You sit by the bed and talk to him. 】

[Old people love to reminisce about the past. They recall the past when I painted with you, using willow as a finger, and laughed at their poor skills. They also recall the banks of the Yinjiang River, and how they met the people who will accompany them throughout their lives. 】

[Until the breath is about to fade away, he holds your hand tightly, saying that he was born in the city, studied in the city, and grew up in the city, but he met his teacher, traveled around the world, learned the wonderful method, and led the world...]

[His immersion in painting has passed his whole life, but has he ever become famous all over the world? 】

[You must be sure. I laughed and closed my eyes, and the sound gradually disappeared. 】

Painter Li studied painting with Jiang He when he was more than 30 years old. Later, he passed on the wonderful method and embarked on the path of spiritual practice, becoming a member of the first generation of ferrymen.

Later, he fell in love with the washerwoman for a long time and started a family again.

Today, he is over one hundred and seventy years old and has a good reputation in the world. His descendants are gradually spreading, and four generations live under one roof.

From the perspective of ordinary people, it is already a happy and perfect life.

But Painter Li still has obsessions in his heart.

After all, he was the first to follow Master Gu, but his cultivation was among the worst.

Until now, it has only been at the second-order level.

So much so that Gu Yuerong and the others were still as young as before, but he was already old and dying.

He is not like Gu Yuerong and Wu You, who have done great things that shocked the world and left immortal legends.

In the dead of night, when everyone is quiet, he often looks at the bright moon and asks himself.

Are you worthy of Master Gu's cultivation?

He held Master Gu's hand tightly, and what he wanted to know was not his own reputation -

It's about whether Master Gu recognizes his life.

When Painter Li saw Master Gu’s smile, he heard the words:

"You are already famous all over the world."

The old man, who is nearly two hundred years old, laughs like a child, and his demeanor is still a bit like that of the past.

Until the laughter stopped, he finally passed away with a smile on his face.

Jiang He put his hand back on his body, covered himself with the quilt, walked out of the room, and closed the door gently, as if he was worried about disturbing his friend's sleep.

But there was not much sadness in his heart.

after all……

From the perspective of others, Painter Li has passed away.

Jiang He knew very well that as the first generation ferryman, he had helped countless people, left many good names, and had already set foot in the Hall of Heroes.

What he wants to do now is not to be sad, but to study the magic method with all his strength.

Try to complete the Mirror of Demons in this life, and don’t let your friends’ efforts go to waste.

"gentlemen."

Gu Yuerong spoke out.

She was also familiar with Painter Li, and came in a hurry after receiving the letter. She was also in the house just now.

At this time, seeing Jiang He's silent look, she opened her mouth to comfort him.

"Brother Li's life has changed since his husband, and now it has been affirmed and ended since his husband."

"He died without regrets. Sir, don't be too sentimental."

"..."

Jiang He was thinking that the Taoist method had no effect, what magic method should he try next to break the evil spirit's method of stealing skin...

After hearing Gu Yuerong's consolation, he was about to answer when he was suddenly startled.

"Wait, Yuerong, what did you just say?"

Without waiting for Gu Yuerong to repeat.

He had caught the flash of light.

"From beginning to end..."

"The evil skin-stealing method borrows Buddhist scriptures to catalyze the believers' piety, and then uses various magical methods to merge their flesh, blood, heart and soul into a human skin..."

"Rather than saying it is [refining], it is better to say [consecrating]."

"This is the Buddhist method that has been twisted by demons!"

"Then, I should also use Buddhist methods to crack it and reveal the evil spirit's true form!"

"It begins with Buddha and should end with Buddha."

"I understand!"

The disgust towards the demon Buddha has affected Ega's thoughts to some extent.

He had not thought about Buddhism before, but now with the flash of inspiration, he increasingly felt that using Buddhism to crack the skin-stealing demon method had a high success rate.

He couldn't wait to return to the Imperial Capital to test his idea.

But Brother Li just passed away. If he leaves now, it will be difficult to explain to the heroic spirit when he meets him in the future.

He had no choice but to hold back his thoughts, raised his hand to ruffle Gu Yuerong's hair, expressed his excitement, and opened his mouth to praise.

"What Yuerong said is really good."

"I……"

Gu Yuerong covered her head and retreated, avoiding Jiang He's claws, and looked at him in confusion.

Although she was very happy to receive praise from her husband...

But, did she just say something serious?
