Chapter 364 Immortal Fate and Secret Realm

The Yinshan Old Ghost is naturally in Yinshan, but Yinshan is a mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles. The old ghost has no right to represent it. He is just used to confuse people.

But this is very effective, because the ghost doesn't know where the other party is, so Zhang Sheng can only adapt to being six fingers first. Anyway, it does not affect the use of day or night. During the day, he writes with five fingers and at night, the middle finger stops water. It fits perfectly.

After occupying the Ghost Tomb Sect, Yan Xu did not rush to do anything, even though he was eager to earn merit. However, as he had only a superficial understanding of the current world, the more he did, the more mistakes he would make, and the more mistakes he made, the more dangerous it would be. So he calmed down to read a book and listened to Zhang Sheng's stories.

Zhang Sheng was well-educated. Although his family fell into poverty, he had a successful candidate in the imperial examination. Therefore, his family left behind many books and travel notes. Such knowledge and experience were treasures that could not be bought with money. Otherwise, how could there be a saying that a scholar could know everything about the world without leaving home?

Although he was later trapped in the mausoleum, there were rich collections of books here and the previous leader of the Ghost Tomb Sect was also a learned man, so his knowledge actually increased a lot. If he had taken the imperial examination, he could at least have passed the examination. Zhang Sheng always felt very sorry and regretful about this.

Compared to Zhang Sheng who only knew how to study hard, Xu Feiyan's life was much more exciting. Born in a side sect, she was good at networking and had many connections not only in the side sects but also in the righteous and evil sects. Unfortunately, she offended the bald donkey in the Jade Buddha Temple and was almost slapped to death. However, she was saved by Zhang Sheng and became a bad lover. He pointed at people all day long, either with the iron rod of the ancient well or a designated well, forcing the ghost bride who was stroking the chicken's feathers all day long to go out and hide.

Yan Xu was no longer sleepy when he heard this, because he also had a grudge against the Jade Buddha Temple, but this time he was smart enough not to show it.

He had been targeted in Shiyu County before, so there must have been something wrong. The problem was that he himself didn't know where the problem lay. After all, he was not a professional. If no one taught him these things, he would have to figure them out on his own. Before, he was either cautious or killed by force, so he had no chance to learn these things. So this time he just listened and didn't ask.

However, the main reason why Yan Xu can remain calm is that his strength is increasing every day, so there is no need to rush, because time is on his side.

Through these two people, Yan Xu slowly began to understand this world, a vast and mysterious world.

The world of Immortal Burial is different from the world he understood and was familiar with before, because this world is a bit big, but it is not clear how big it is. The main reason is that when the ancients described something, they often used very exaggerated descriptions. A waterfall could be written as the Milky Way. This is the primitive world. So if you want to get the exact answer, you can only find it yourself.

If Zhang Sheng's description and the records in the book are not too exaggerated, then the continent under his feet is the largest he knows. There are seven or eight dynasties alone, and there are even more foreign tribes, such as the monsters and barbarians that often appear in fantasy novels. Even if the population is not as large as that of modern times, it will not be much different.

In addition, practitioners are not a secret to many people. There are countless rumors among the people, but most ordinary people have never seen one. Or even if they have seen one, they don’t know that the other person is a practitioner. They only know that practitioners are high above and don’t even take the government into consideration. They are existences above the secular world.

No wonder the Jade Buddha Temple is so ostentatious, and the magistrate of Shiyu County seems to be oblivious to it.

In fact, practitioners are not as high and mighty as most people imagine, nor are they so elegant and noble that they are detached from the world. Real practitioners are all busy fighting, regardless of Buddhism or Taoism, regardless of good or evil, they are actually fighting.

The lower class fights for survival. Most of them do not have complete inheritance and sufficient resources. If they want to practice and survive, they have to fight for everything they need by any means. They are humble and brutal, just like stray dogs fighting for trash cans on the street. This is called unorthodox practice.

Although there are inheritances and sects in the middle level, the resources are not endless. If you want to practice, make progress, and ascend to become an immortal, you must fight for better skills, more spirit stones, stronger magic weapons, and more opportunities.

The top leaders are also fighting, but what they are fighting for is the Tao, the Dharma, and immortality.

This is a world where everyone is fighting for it, and there is a complete food chain, so cruelty does exist, it is just covered up. The only thing to be thankful for is that the immortal fate that the big guys fight for is in the secret realm, so it rarely affects the mortal world. Otherwise, no matter how big the world is and how many people there are, it will not be enough for them to fight for.

Immortal fate and secret realm immediately captured Yan Xu's heart, so he couldn't help but join in the topic.

Fortunately, Zhang Sheng and Xu Feiyan are natural enemies. One quotes scriptures and recites all kinds of strange stories and myths in the books to show off, while the other madly mocks and suppresses him, speaking with facts, allowing Yan Xu to learn a lot of secrets.

It is said that the world of cultivation in this world was extremely prosperous in ancient times. Countless opportunities created countless powerful people. Almost every once in a while, a great mortal would transcend the catastrophe and ascend to heaven, inspiring countless later generations.

Until one day, the sky collapsed, the earth shattered, and countless powerful beings ascended to heaven and fell in the terrified eyes of all living beings. For a time, the corpses piled up like a swamp, and even the high and mighty immortals and Buddhas were buried in this world.

Since then, many secret realms have appeared. If one can enter and come back alive, there is a chance to gain immortality. Therefore, even if those who enter the secret realm have a high chance of death or even a ten-fold chance of survival, there is still an endless supply of people.

Xu Feiyan deliberately mentioned in front of Yan Xu that the Jade Buddha Temple had access to a secret realm, and the entrance to that secret realm was most likely in the Stone Buddha Kiln.

Yan Xu pretended to be interested, and in fact he was really interested, and Xu Feiyan acted as if he had succeeded and told him a lot of news that interested him.

The Jade Buddha Temple is said to be the eternal guardian of Yinshan Mountain. The Buddha vowed not to attain Buddhahood until Yinshan Mountain was empty. Over the thousands of years, it has converted countless ghosts and gained immeasurable merits, otherwise how could it be called the right path.

However, Xu Feiyan scoffed at this, thinking that these bald donkeys were just pretending. The real reason was to monopolize a secret area in the Stone Buddha Kiln, where it was said that a Buddha was buried.

Of course, this is an exaggerated rumor, because if a Buddha was really buried, no one in the world would dare to do it, not even the Jade Buddha Temple.

We take risks because there is a glimmer of hope. If there is not even a glimmer of hope, it is suicide.

When Yan Xu heard this, he was moved and felt that the jade ball and crystal egg he obtained might have come from the secret realm, but he just couldn't be sure.

Unfortunately, the secret realm of the Stone Buddha Kiln has been controlled by the Jade Buddha Temple for hundreds of years. No matter how tempting it is, Yan Xu has no intention of going there. Instead, Yinshan is more suitable for him.

The Yinshan Mountains, which stretch for thousands of miles, are said to be a fragment of a secret realm that has merged into the mortal world, or a fragment from the underworld. Therefore, there are countless ghosts and spirits in the mountains, and even ghost soldiers and gods exist deep in the mountains.

Yan Xu got inspiration from the merit gained by converting the Yinshan ghosts in the Jade Buddha Temple, because he could also do the job.
