Another beautiful summer morning.

The fragrance is filled with the Xixing Temple, and the breeze blows the tall and tall Bodhi trees.

A breeze blew, and the wind chimes "Dingling" on the eaves of the temple came and echoed in the empty and quiet temple, forming a beautiful music.

After dinner, the master and apprentice stretched neatly.

When he came back from the city yesterday, Chen Budu brought the masons he had made an appointment back, asking them to clean the golden bodies of the Buddha, Bodhisattvas and Arhats, and repair some of the damaged buildings in the temple.

I really spent a lot of money on work and materials, and I spent half of all my belongings.

Forty silos of copper coins!

However, judging from today's results, the money is definitely not in vain!

The Buddha is brilliant in golden light and majestic; Bodhisattva Miaoyin has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, solemn and square; the demon-subduing Arhat has a hideous face and a ferocious spirit.

These are like real existences, lifelike and lifeless, making people unable to help but feel awe.

That's right. You have to spend money to make money. Only when the temple has a signboard will it convince the pilgrims and client.

Chen Budu didn't feel much distressed. The first Yin Ling Pill was sold to Gongxu Young Master Kong for three hundred low-grade spiritual crystals and eighty-three sprig copper coins. He didn't spend a single spiritual crystal, and now he still had forty-three sprig copper coins on him.

If you have money in your pocket, you won’t feel panicked.

"Master, you have worked hard to cook. I'll squeeze your shoulders for you?"

Looking at his attentive disciple, Zen Master Sanzang asked with a smile.

"Good apprentice, do you have anything to ask your master?"

"Master's eyes are as sharp as a torch!"

A flattery was given, and Chen Budu asked while pinching the shoulders of the master.

"The disciple has always been confused. Although the two skills taught to the disciple by the master are extremely powerful, they are still within the disciple's understanding. However, this "True Sutra" can absorb spiritual energy by just silently reciting it. It seems different from the two Taoist monks I know of, the process of urging, nourishing and refining qi?"

"Then do you know where the Qi refining method comes from?"

"When I went down the mountain, I heard that the magic tricks originated from the demon clan. In ancient times, the human race was guided by immortals to produce the current various Qi-refining and cultivation systems."

"Well, it seems that you have not gone in vain when you went down the mountain to eliminate demons and evil spirits these two times, and you have made great progress."

Zen Master Sanzang stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "But, disciple, you only know one thing, not the other."

"The current human qi refining technique originates from the demon clan's magic technique, which is guided by immortals. This is nothing wrong. But where does the demon clan's magic technique originate? Have you ever thought about it?"

"The disciple has never thought about it, please give me advice!" Chen Budu's eyes shone.

"From ancient gods."

Ancient gods?!

Chen Budu was slightly stunned, but Zen Master Sanzang continued to preach slowly.

"The demon clan's magic and the witch clan's magic have become the predecessors of the two major practice systems of Qi refining and Body refining. However, the magic and witch clans were created by ancient gods and taught to the two lich clans."

"I dare to ask what an ancient god is?"

"In this world, when chaos begins, ancient gods have emerged. The essence of gods is produced by part of the world's rules. They instinctively have the tendency to plunder other rules, so they are eager to devour similar people. Once the gods contain different rules, they will have a strong tendency to split and self-destruct, and their minds will gradually fall into madness.

In an unexplainable era, the war between gods never stopped, and many gods fell into extreme madness because they devoured too many rules, and then fell into the demon world.

Until a god discovered a way to overcome this tendency to plunder and divine loss, that is, to make himself a worship god of a certain race, and to use faith as the ‘anchored object’.”

Chen Budu was stunned when he heard it.

In his known worldview, he could only trace back to the era when the Lich Calamity and the existence of the noble immortals. The saying of gods is unheard of.

"Master, what about later?"

"Later, for some unknown reason, the god... disappeared."

Zen Master Sanzang paused and said again.

"After the disappearance of the gods, the immortals, as servants of the gods, changed the god world to the immortal world, and carried forward the means of anchoring faith. At that time, due to the disappearance of the gods, the witch tribes and demon tribes on the earth lost their constraints and adjustments, and began a tragic lich catastrophe to compete for dominance in the mortal world.

The noble immortals instigated the Lichs to fight, but secretly supported the rise of the human race. After waiting for the decline of the Lichs and the rise of the human race, after experiencing the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the immortals invented a better way to get something for nothing.

They destroyed the Zhou Dynasty and divided the land into countless countries. Each country had to worship and worship them. The immortals divided their camps with each other, and relied on the appointment of the three officials of heaven, earth and man to continuously harvest the fortunes of the human race and countries.

If the human race has too many people, wars will be launched to reduce disasters to reduce the population, so as to prevent the human race from being out of control. Because their bodies, like the previous gods, were also bound to the fairy world while getting anchors. Due to the restrictions of world rules, they could only briefly descend to the earth with their Dharma body and could not exert all their power."

The brand new worldview made Chen Budu digest it for a long time.

After a long time, he asked with difficulty: "Master, then will it be the Great Tribulation of the Heavens?"

"Yes, the total amount of luck in the mortal world will surge several times every time. This is the case with the Lich Catastrophe, and the same is true for the Qiantian Tribulation after the Lich Catastrophe. This is actually at the cost of overdrawing the fortune of the next thousand years, and in a short time, a group of lucky sons who are loved by the world.

The Buddha, Taoist ancestor, Confucian saint, Dharma saint, and four powerful schools of founding mountain were in the first-class land gods and fairies during the Great Seal of Heaven nearly a thousand years ago. After entering this realm, my master did not know whether they could compete with the ancient gods, but there was no doubt that they could compete with the Dharma bodies of immortals who had descended to the earth."

"What about going on? Where have these land gods gone?"

"After the Great Seal of Heaven, the Heaven Gate was closed, and the immortals could no longer blatantly interfere in human affairs. Zulongjun unified the Middle-earth country with the support of the Dharma Saint, and both of them disappeared during the Eastern Tour. It is said that the moon turned red at that time, and I don't know if it was related to the disappearance of the two of them."

When Chen Budu heard this, he glanced at the blood moon in the sky. Could it be that there were two people living on the moon?

"Later, Emperor Bai killed the white dragon and established the Han Dynasty with the support of the Taoist ancestor. After decades, the Taoist ancestor disappeared. Another sub-saint of the Confucian Sect entered the land fairyland. The Han Dynasty no longer worshiped the Taoist Sect, but instead abolished all schools of thought and respected the Confucian Sect.

After hundreds of years, the Taoist sect was suppressed to its limit. The immortals in the sky who were unwilling to be lonely had all their resources to support the justice of the Taiping Taoist, and initiated the Huangtian Uprising.

The Han Dynasty successfully suppressed the uprising, but soon the country was destroyed. The iron cavalry of Wu Kingdom hiding in the north rolled south, and the family crossed south, relying on several dragons from the Huai River and the Yangtze River to support it. This is called the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Later, the saint of the Great Sui Dynasty unified the world and unified the Middle-earth countries for the second time. The Tang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty were today. After counting, it was nearly a thousand years since the Great Calamity of the Heavens."

Zen Master Sanzang stood up and patted his disciple on the shoulder.

"Advisor, I can only tell you that the "True Sutra" is not an ordinary method of refining qi. Its origin is extremely ancient, so don't judge it with common sense. As for the realm system you practice, it is completely different from the major systems in the world. All you have to do is stick to your original intention, work hard to practice, kill more demons and accumulate merits, and safely survive a new round of great disasters in the world.

My teacher told you so much today, and I want to tell you a truth: never be complacent, nor lose your mind by power. The stronger the power, the closer it will be to the ‘divine’ and away from ‘humanity’ under the restrictions of the world’s rules, and even completely crazy. This is something that gods cannot avoid, do you understand?"

Shen Budu clasped his hands together and bowed seriously to Master Sanzang.

"I understand, I understand!"
