Chapter 994: Tea at the Waterfall in the Pavilion (Make-up Leave 12)
The red spring falls thousands of feet, and the purple mist spreads far away. It rushes down the trees and scatters heavy clouds.
As the peach blossoms faded away, Hei Mi Le found that they were in a small pavilion on the mountainside, with a waterfall cascading down next to them. The beautiful and majestic scenery made people feel relaxed and happy. For a moment, he seemed to be in a trance, thinking that the fierce battles he had experienced in the Desire Realm were just a dream.
But when he looked at the gentle man sitting opposite him, who was wearing a white robe and brocade clothes, and whose hands were skillfully making and washing tea.
The feeling of ease and relief in my heart was completely dissipated, leaving only fear and irritability.
Because Hei Miroku knew clearly that at this moment and in this place, everything he had done had completely fallen into the illusion woven by the other party, and for this reason he began to doubt whether everything that was happening in reality was real.
This also means that the other party has the powerful ability to make him sink spontaneously, or even die inexplicably in a trance.
Then Black Mile gave a bitter smile, took the teacup that Qin Fan had placed on the stone table, and took a sip.
The tea is fragrant, sweet and refreshing.
As expected, even the sense of taste is completely controlled
Then he looked at the number of teacups on the table with a slightly startled expression.
Qin Fan had one, he had one, Hei Tathagata and Hei Randang had two each, and there was also an empty cup.
'Is there anyone else coming? Or do you want me to experience the feeling of fighting with my inner demons for my body again?'
From the moment the demonic tide completely erupted under Yun Hongce's control, Qin Fan set his sights on Black Mile after getting the imitation demon bead given by Dang Qianmie.
At that time, Hei Mile heard what Shi Xiu said and prepared to meet up with Yue Chi Zong and others. Then Yue Chi Zong showed his skills and temporarily intercepted Feng Yue and the other two by himself. However, what he did not expect was that the third person, Qin Fan, also attacked Hei Mile at almost the same time.
The other party was trapped in the illusion with almost no resistance, and experienced the strange feelings of his two younger brothers.
It was because he realized the huge gap in strength between the two sides and did not know Qin Fan's true intentions that he looked conflicted and began to think of the worst possibility.
"Big brother!" X4!
Hei Mitreya looked up at his two younger brothers who were also sitting around the stone table but had turned into monsters with two heads and four arms. When he heard them calling him "big brother" in unison, he felt a little amused.
However, before he could answer, two of his brothers started arguing.
"That's my big brother!"
"Your elder brother is my elder brother!"
"How dare you, a monster who came out of nowhere, call me brother!"
"You said I was a monster, but you were just insulting yourself, and maybe even my brother as well!"
"Knock you! You are forcing the Buddha to break his precepts!"
"Have you not broken enough precepts? The uncontrollable killing thoughts, violence, and lust for power in your heart, the desire to step on the stage and enjoy the worship and reverence of thousands of believers, you have already violated your heart of devotion to Buddha!"
"Knock you! You're not talking about me!"
"Yes, it's not you now, but me. I am the Black Tathagata! No, or I should call myself the Killing Tathagata!"
"Kill Tathagata? You want to kill me?"
"Isn't this obvious? Only by killing you can I become the true master of this body, and Big Brother will always be my Big Brother!"
Then Black Tathagata and Killing Tathagata began to strangle each other, but in Qin Fan's territory, all their great power seemed to be stripped away completely, leaving only their physical strength, which also caused veins on their arms to bulge from pinching, but did not cause any real damage.
The Randeng group was much calmer.
"what's your name?"
"Greedy lamp."
“Is the other side of me greedy?”
"Aren't you greedy? You crave for cultivation resources, you lust for status, you have a morbid grasp on all good things. You not only want to grasp the future, but you also look to the past and the present."
"Is that so? You are indeed greedy, but on the path of cultivation, how can you move forward without greed? The three of us brothers have come to this point because we are greedy and ruthless enough."
"That's right, so I admire myself and I am sure that the future is yours, mine, and ours."
"Amitabha." X2
After a Buddhist chant, the figure of Tan Randeng, who represented the inner demon, became much more illusory, like a candle that was about to be blown out by the breeze, while the aura of Hei Randeng himself became stronger, but at the same time his expression was no longer so compassionate, and there was an evil in his raised smile.
At this moment, his slightly narrowed eyes seemed to be looking at Qin Fan with a sense of pride.
"Thank you for your help, Ghost Lord."
"Help?" Qin Fan raised his head and glanced at the other party. His sight stayed on the face of Tan Ran Deng who was about to fly away for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Do you think that if you accept the existence of the inner demon, you will be enlightened and can break through my third-level domain?"
"Isn't it? I accept my greed and don't mind being a greedy person. Only greed can lead to a smooth life. I would rather use greed as the guiding direction of my life! What about me now..."
"Now that you have become the Greedy Lantern and are controlled by your own inner demons, you still think you have won?"
"Who said I was controlled by him! I accepted him, absorbed him, and merged with him." At this point, Heirandeng's voice stopped abruptly.
This time he found that another face had split out from his left cheek, and that face was laughing with unbridled joy.
"No, I merged with you. Now let me become the only Greedy Lantern."
At this moment, Hei Randeng felt that his consciousness was under strong pressure. The greed that clearly sprouted from the bottom of his heart was completely out of his control, and began to fully occupy his spiritual sea and try to seize control of his body!
"Master Ghost!" Seeing that something was wrong with Hei Randeng, Hei Mile looked at Qin Fan anxiously, and put aside his face to use the honorific title.
After Qin Fan calmly drank a sip of tea, he gently placed the teacup on the stone table. The crisp sound seemed to make everything start to rapidly reverse, restoring the Black Randeng to its two-headed and four-armed form. When the Tan Randeng looked at Qin Fan, his eyes were filled with malice and an unshakable fear.
In response, Qin Fan just said softly:
"I don't like the look in your eyes, but don't forget that behind you there are Chi Randeng, Evil Randeng, Love Randeng, and Arrogant Randeng"
"Yes, sir, I will change it immediately!" Tan Randeng quickly adjusted his expression, raised the teacup in a flattering manner, and bowed slightly to Qin Fan respectfully.
"Is this still the inner demon?" From the brief conversation between Qin Fan and Tan Randeng, Hei Mi Le deduced a lot of information.
He had imagined that he could take a step further by materializing his inner demon, just like Hei Ran Deng, but now it seemed that as long as there was a trace of evil thoughts in his heart, Qin Fan would magnify these thoughts to the level of turning them into an inner demon.
And in the confrontation with the inner demon, Qin Fan could obviously take sides.
This means that if he wants to break through this field, unless he relies on hard power, he will have to defeat the other self who is growing rapidly with the help of Qin Fan again and again.
At the same time, during this period, some negative emotions will inevitably arise in their hearts.
To use Qin Fan's words just now, the so-called disgusted Maitreya, fear of Maitreya, lazy Maitreya, and worried Maitreya may all appear.
There is no end to the killing and fighting. Even if you win, if you have completely abandoned all desires and may not even have the slightest ambition to practice cultivation, can you still be the real Black Maitreya?
This is a dead end that will only lead to failure.
After fully realizing this, Hei Maitreya gave a look to his two brothers who had the same association. After Hei Randeng and Hei Tathagata received the message from the eyes, they obediently picked up the teacup and drank it gently.
This move already represents bowing down.
After the man in front of him finished drinking the tea, Hei Miroku took the initiative to speak:
"Next, in the Desire Realm, we will cooperate with your actions."
Qin Fan raised his head and glanced at Hei Maitreya with a little surprise. The other party was more aware of the current situation than he had expected. However, thinking about the scenes in the time simulator, the mortal enemy of Sanhei was Po Xun from the beginning to the end.
The hostility towards Ghost Market is more due to the general stance.
But since Sanhei took action against the messenger sent from outer space, its foundation has regressed from the entire Zen Buddhism to only the Pure Land Sect.
To be honest, the Pure Land Sect has no personal hatred or grudge against the Ghost Market. During the battle on the top of the Knife Mountain, none of the monks killed were from the Pure Land Sect. Instead, they were from the Qibao Zen Temple, which had long been destroyed by the Ghost Market and the East Factory.
Therefore, since the Sanhei's mentality changed and the outside world began to fight for power within the Shaolin Temple, the name of the Fotu Zen Sect, which had originally sat firmly in the first seat in the power interface, has quietly disappeared.
However, Hei Mile's statement now is not what Qin Fan needs.
He shook his head slightly, which made Hei Miroku's face look a little ugly. After all, he had bowed his head to this extent. Did the other party really want to kill his three brothers, or use some unknown means to force enslavement to satisfy him?
Qin Fan only needed to see the change in Hei Mi Le's expression to understand what the other party was thinking. He said:
"I do need your cooperation, but it's not this kind of compromise under the threat of death, nor is it just cooperation within the Desire Realm."
"You," Hei Miroku said without thinking, "Even if I say that I submit to you with all my heart, do you believe it? Do you think a strong man who has reached the Dharma Realm will submit to someone so easily?"
"It's not surrender, it's cooperation." The sudden sound of a strange voice made Sanhei stunned. The originally empty teacup was now filled with tea. A white and strong hand was holding the teacup and taking a sip.
"Good tea."
Yun Hongce exhaled a breath of hot air, then looked around curiously, and finally his eyes stopped on Hei Mile.
"You're going in the wrong direction."
"What direction?" Hei Mi Le already knew about this military strategist of the Chi Luo Demon Kingdom.
"Kill Po Xun to prove his own value to the outside world, and want to indirectly weaken the negative impact brought by Chan Kong. For this purpose, he even controls a group of outside world messengers." Yun Hongce put down the teacup, looked at the other party seriously.
"You made a big mistake in taking this step. Didn't you make any connections with what Shi Xiu and Yue Chizong did, including the incident in front of the Six Heavens Sacrifice Platform where the envoys from outer space united to target the Ghost Market?"
Hei Miroku narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"What you are talking about is the face of the outer world. I have thought about this. However, we have to consider the value of the Mountain and Sea Realm itself. The Wanjiang Buddhist Kingdom must rely on a local person. For people with outstanding talents, some small mistakes are always forgivable."
"Are you sure it's a small mistake? Wolves are more lethal than dogs, but if people have to choose, they will only lean towards the latter, because loyal dogs are more worthy of training than wolves that are untrained and like to act on their own."
Black Maitreya was silent. His plan was certainly not so naive. However, it involved some power struggles within the Wanjiang Buddhist Kingdom, which was not suitable to be discussed at this moment.
Yun Hongce also saw something from the other party's expression and continued:
"In fact, being a wolf or a dog waiting to be given alms by others is not a good choice. Why not be a human or a demon?"
"Your idea is a bit naive." Hei Miroku shook his head, looking a little disappointed.
"I know you are referring to the gap in strength, but this will not affect our changing our attitude towards those arrogant aliens." Yun Hongce said calmly.
This sentence also aroused the interest of Sanhei. Judging from the fact that they were the first ones who dared to attack the alien messenger, they had no loyalty to the Wanjiang Buddhist Kingdom in their hearts. To put it bluntly, the so-called flattery was all for resources and benefits.
"Zen Kong died in this battle in the Desire Realm." Yun Hongce suddenly changed his tone, leaving Sanhei stunned.
“You never killed him from the beginning to the end. He died unexpectedly only after he came to this Desire Realm and was plotted against by Po Xun. Also killed here were Master Xiu, Yue Chizong, Master Zhining, the Qing brothers, and nearly 20 other powerful men from outer space.
All the survivors of the Desire Realm can testify to this.”
"you mean"
“To put it bluntly, if Tianwai wants to obtain information, the first priority must be the messengers. But if they are all dead, the so-called truth will be revealed as soon as our lips touch each other. As long as we stick to this point, this is the only fact!
Isn't this much better than killing Mara and just thinking that you are leaving an option for the Wanjiang Buddhist Kingdom?
And most importantly, this will be a secret that we all keep together.
Secrets are sometimes more trustworthy than interests, aren't they? "
Yun Hongce gently shook the teacup in his hand, and the green tea created a tiny whirlwind, and the ripples seemed to ruffle a white cloud in the sky.
"We can cooperate, and you should know one thing better than me."
The sudden change in the situation on the scene, coupled with the deaths of more than a dozen powerful alien warriors, and the seemingly easier-to-implement plan proposed by Yun Hongce, have indeed caused Sanhei's ideas to change slightly.
As for the last sentence he was about to say, the three of them pricked up their ears at the same time and began to listen attentively.
“Compared to fooling those ignorant outsiders, dealing with Lord Ghost and the Ghost Market should obviously make you feel more pressured. Especially as the leader of the Zen Sect, you have witnessed with your own eyes how the Ghost Market has grown at an exaggerated speed.
So, do we still want to be enemies?"
Thanks to [Shang Han] for the 10,000-yuan reward! It has been several months since the last large reward. Actually, my writing has been a little sluggish recently. This 10,000-yuan reward is definitely a shot in the arm!
