“Back then, there were two people who attacked and killed Duan Ran and that Dharma Sangha monk. One of them was the Poor Dao. The other, however, was Shi Jue of the Great Zen Temple.”
“Master, according to my men’s research, you and Department Six’s ‘Flawless Divine Constable’ Ning Wuming were friends for years, so he told you about this.”
“Ha, really a good friend, a good friend ——”
As the words were spoken, the giant statue erupted with an appalling aura, the wind and snow swept away, whirling in the air into a wind vortex, a powerful divine might that was terrifying.
In the midst of the giant statue, Qing Yu slowly stood up, and the light connecting his body’s hundred orifices to the statue transported a large amount of true qi, which merged with the yuan qi swallowed by the statue, completely mobilising the yuan qi of heaven and earth.
Qing Yu did not intend to let this old monk live.
The old monk, Wu Nian, had been used by Ning Wuming to send him to his death. With his death at Qing Yu’s hands, there would be a grudge between Fa Xiang Temple and Qing Yu.
At the same time, Wu Nian was ultimately number one on the Earth Ranking, and even if Qing Yu could win, he should have suffered a considerable injury and would have refined his pace. This, then, was Ning Wuming’s stranglehold on Qing Yu.
And as one of the two murderers, Qing Yu would have told Wunian the truth, and Wunian would not have given up on striking at him. In the end, Wunian had not found the wrong person, he had only missed the other one.
“Is this the majesty of the Tongtian Giant Statue? Daoist Master Qing Yu is truly extraordinary. Being in the giant statue, your strength is not something that a True Dan realm martial artist can contend with, nor can the old ca*sock. However ——”
Wu Nian sat down on his knees, ignoring the might of the giant statue, and closed his eyes, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, “Since I have come here, I have naturally come prepared.”
Wu Nian had come to learn about karma, not to die. He dared to come to Northern Zhou, naturally he had the preparation to set aside the factor of the Tongtian Giant Statue.
“Transporting the imaginary boat on the other shore, empty and thankful, life and death are forgotten. The table of absolute wisdom Xiyi, beyond the remaining form of moving silence ——”
Wu Nian recited the sutra silently, a spiritual light flashed at the top door, and in a trance it seemed that an illusory figure was seen, shooting abruptly into the giant statue and entering the brow of the white-haired Taoist in the statue.
The Dharma Sangha was founded by Venerable Sanzang, the first Chinese monk to travel to the PeaC*ck Dynasty to seek the true scriptures.
Wu Nian is to enter Qing Yu’s mind directly with divine consciousness, leaving out external factors and engaging in a battle of the mind with him.
Once the divine sense enters Qing Yu’s mind, either Wu Nian dies or Qing Yu dies.
After entering Qing Yu’s mind, Wu Nian’s divine sense traveled through the illusionary realm and went straight to the deepest part of his mind.
It was a vast and boundless lake, or an ocean, that could not be seen from afar. Wu Nian appeared on the surface of the lake, and his feet touched the surface of the lake, sending out ripples.
“Here ——”
Wu Nian looked around, “It is the deepest part of this Daoist Master Qing Yu’s mind, it is truly astonishing.”
The deepest part of many people’s minds in this world is filled with countless visions that they remember from their lives, like a kaleidoscope of past memories.
Even for some people with a profound state of mind, the most profound impressions of their lives are basically the ones that exist. There are people like Qingyu, who are like a new world, but not many.
Such people are all high achievers with profound and unfathomable minds, difficult to fathom. Moreover, they are all skilled in the strange arts of the mind, able to freely carve out a vision of their innermost being.
Clearly, Qing Yu was this kind of person.
“Is Master feeling rare?”
Wu Nian turned around abruptly and saw a back figure that had stood there at some point. It was obvious that it was not visible just now, but now it suddenly appeared. This caused Wu Nian’s heart to sink as he realised that Qing Yu’s spiritual attainment was, well, high.
“Lao Di was not expecting that Daoist Master Qing Yu would also be practising my Dharma Sangha’s method of divine awareness. And the depth of essence is not inferior to that of the old ca*sock.” Wu Nian said with a bitter smile on his face.
He indeed did not expect that Qing Yu still had this side of the discipline hidden. He was not only proficient in the Buddhist body refining martial arts, but also had a high level of attainment in the Buddhist divine Sense Way.
“It seems that Master has found out.” Qing Yu still turned his back to Wu Nian and laughed lightly.
The first article of the teachings of the Dharma Sangha sect: all laws are only knowledge, according to the theory of only knowledge, stating that all things in the universe are images that appear from the shaking of the mind, the two worlds of the inner and outer, material and immaterial, none of them are changed by the mind; there are eight capable of changing knowledge, and the laws changed are a myriad of things.
This is the first and most fundamental article, from which all the martial arts of the Dharma Sangha emerge.
The essence of this is the same as that of Qing Yu’s “Ten Thousand Paths of Moro”. Perhaps it was the “Ten Thousand Dharmas, Only Knowledge” of the Dharma Sangha that was used as the basis for creating this martial art.
Qing Yu had been practising the “Ten Thousand Paths of Moro” for many years and had a deep understanding of it. That was why Wu Nian had said that Qing Yu was no less than him in terms of attainment in the Way of Divine Sense of the Dharma Sangha.
“The Daoist Master is looking at the accumulation of these three hundred years of the old ca*sock.” Wu Nian guessed Qing Yu’s purpose.
Since he was proficient in the Way of Divine Sense, he would not be unaware of Wunian’s method of dealing with Qing Yu and was caught off guard by Wunian. All the previous actions now seemed to be deliberate on Qing Yu’s part, to lure Wu Nian into the bait.
Wu Nian had travelled all the way from Da Qian and had not hidden his purpose. But he had never encountered any obstruction from Qing Yu.
Was it because Qing Yu’s men were not strong enough?
It was true that his men did not have a counterweight to Wu Nian, but to say that this was the reason why he had given up sending cannon fodder to interfere with Wu Nian’s progress was a big mistake.
Even if they could only interfere a little, Qing Yu would still send a large number of men to block Wu Nian. Even if they couldn’t hurt Wu Nian a little, they would still want to make Wu Nian stained with a murderous aura.
As long as it was necessary, Qing Yu never skimped on human lives.
But he didn’t, he didn’t send any of his men to block Wu Nian, instead he allowed Wu Nian to march all the way to the Northern Zhou and to the Tongtian Giant Statue.
All this was to allow Wu Nian and Qing Yu to enter Qing Yu’s mind and engage in a divine sense death match.
If Wu Nian was born, he could exit Qing Yu’s mind since then. But if Qing Yu was victorious, then the memories contained in this part of Wu Nian’s divine sense would be left for Qing Yu to browse.
“Soon, the poor dao will face a great enemy. To defeat this great enemy, strength is essential. Master, you will be able to improve your strength.
The martial arts we practise are of the same origin, and absorbing the master’s understanding of the Way of Divine Sense will enable me to go to the next level.” Qing Yu smiled and said his plan.
“Aren’t you afraid that you will be influenced by the old line’s memory and become another person?”
Wu Nian had lived three hundred years so far, and three hundred years of experience was not something that could be compared to Qing Yu’s twenty or thirty years. In his opinion, this ma*sive memory intake would cause Qing Yu’s personality to shift and suffer the overwriting of Wu Nian’s memories.
If he did not become a second Wu Nian, he would become schizophrenic.
However, Qing Yu seemed to have no worries at all. He pointed to his head and said with a light smile, “Master, what is inside here is not just three hundred years.”
