Yinshan Record

Chapter 104 Once Upon a Time (Fifth update complete, please subscribe)
According to the information I obtained from Yu Lizi and Zhongshan Hui, the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden is a magical artifact that can create its own void.

Su Che also consulted the records in the "Xuanzhong Ji". All magical treasures that can create their own void have names and identities in this world. The Qingdi Treasure Garden is even listed as one of the thirty-six wonders of the East Sea.

Legend has it that the place is rich in spiritual energy and grows abundantly with immortal herbs, making it a truly magical place and an endless treasure trove.

The so-called self-created void means forming a world of its own. Like the Yinquan Nine Bends that Yu Lizi made before, the original idea was to make it into a picture of self-created void, but in the end it could not be succeeded. It could only be used to store things.

Like the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden, it appears as if there is nothing there from the outside, but once you enter, it is another world entirely, as if you are carrying a small world with you, full of endless mysteries.

Unfortunately, it seems that the old lion has already ravaged this place.

Su Che felt an endless sorrow in his heart.

This treasure was basically in his hands, but who could have imagined such a change in the course of events?

The old lion enjoyed the treasure himself, then turned it into a hellish realm; his character was truly appalling.

On the bright side, at least the framework of the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden is still preserved here. Just by looking at the archway and palace, one can probably still discern the original appearance of this Azure Emperor's relic.

Su Che unleashed the Pure Glazed Buddha Light and walked towards the main hall inside.

The main hall here is nearly ten zhang high, with a majestic presence. Jade pillars and golden steps, double eaves and overlapping tiles make it look very imposing from the outside. Only upon closer inspection does one realize that the main gate alone is eight or nine zhang wide. The grandeur of the ancient immortals is evident.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Su Che couldn't help but take a step back.

Inside the main hall, it was already a sea of ​​fire, with layers of black flames covering it. Anyone who didn't know better would think they had walked into an alchemy furnace.

From within the black flames, the faint cries of agonizing ghosts could be heard.

Su Che stared intently and recognized several familiar silhouettes in the black flames. They seemed to be the same ones he had seen before at the Kulin Zen Temple, including many headless monks.

It seems that the so-called "ghost Buddha preaching on the eighth day of the eighth month" to save sentient beings is nothing more than an old lion's way of tricking a group of ghosts into becoming charcoal.

Whatever tricks the old lion has up its sleeve, they should be hidden behind these layers of black fire.

Su Che frowned, but did not make any further moves for the time being.

These layers of black fire are really difficult to deal with.

Its name is Karmic Fire, which is also the most distinctive feature of hell in Buddhism.

Hell is divided into three types: fundamental hell, near-border hell, and solitary hell. The fundamental hell is further divided into sixteen hells of two types: eight hot hells and eight cold hells.

Each of them is filled with different kinds of karmic fire.

The karmic fire in the eight hot hells is called the karmic fire of ignorance. The karmic fire in the eight cold hells is called the karmic fire of the red lotus.

Both are fueled by what is called "karma," but their manifestations differ. The fire of ignorance burns everything, and is known as one of the seven most ferocious flames in the world. The fire of the red lotus, on the other hand, freezes the soul, and is one of the coldest forces in the world.

According to Buddhist teachings, existence implies a certain amount of "karma," and as long as something can have an impact on the world, it can accumulate so-called "karmic force."

It can be said that everything in this world is basically both prey and fuel for this karmic fire.

Su Che did not believe that having the Pure Glazed Buddha Light would be enough to withstand the karmic fire before him.

In Buddhism, the various uses of karmic fire generally require a foundation of third-grade cultivation. Such an extremely dangerous thing is not something one can easily handle.

With the raging flames blocking his path, even the Third Young Master Su could only sigh in despair.

Su Che pondered for a moment. When Yu Lizi handed him that yellow talisman, he had said that it should be ignited with the Nine Netherworld Burning God Yin Fire if there were any unusual occurrences at the Kulin Temple.

As a result, after burning the talisman, he inexplicably entered the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden.

It's obvious that someone tampered with this.

Thinking of this, Su Che calmed his mind and slowly sensed the true meaning of the Future Star Tribulation Scripture.

This sutra is one of the three fundamental scriptures of Lingjiu Temple. It has the ability to bring good fortune and avoid misfortune. Now that we are in a dilemma, we might as well see what enlightenment it can offer.

Soon, the true meaning of the Future Star Tribulation Scripture gave Su Che a feeling that moving forward would bring good fortune and no misfortune.

Su Che pondered for a moment, then took off the Chiwen Ring from his hand, and retrieved the Azure Emperor's Wine Cup and the Eastern King's Mask from the Nine Bends of the Yin Spring. The Chiwen Ring could conceal one's destiny and prevent others from spying on them, but taking it off was tantamount to revealing his "Six Harmonies Azure Dragon" destiny.

The Azure Emperor Wine Cup originally came from the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden, so it should have some medicinal properties.

As for the Eastern King's mask, it was purely based on trust in the strength of the Central Yuan.

As soon as the Azure Emperor appeared, the surrounding layers of karmic fire seemed to have encountered a formidable enemy, and their intensity suddenly diminished.

Curious, Su Che placed the Azure Emperor's Jue back into the Nine Bends of the Yin Spring, and the layers of karmic fire immediately rekindled.

Hey, it's like finding a needle in a haystack! This Azure Emperor Duke was the key to everything.

Su Che shielded his body with the glazed Buddha light, raised the spiritually powerful wine cup, and stepped into the karmic fire.

The karmic fire actually retreated to a distance of four feet from Su Che, and continued to leap and pulsate through the pure, crystal-clear Buddha light.

Su Che carefully walked through the area covered by layers of karmic fire, and after passing through, he saw a person there.

The person's face was obscured; he was dressed in a robe of rosy clouds and wore a crown of stars, and he was waiting there.

"I have met the Little Sage."

Upon seeing Su Che approach, the man stepped forward, bowed, and inquired.

"Don't dare."

Su Che mustered his courage and answered.

"May I ask who you are?"

"I, Xiaodao Chang Le, have received the decree of the Sage of Zhongyuan and have been waiting for you here for a long time."

Zhongyuan? A sage? Is this person also a member of the Zhongshan Society?
"So you are a senior. This junior has met you before. May I ask your honorable title?"

"I, Xiaodao Chang Le, have received the decree of the Sage of Zhongyuan and have been waiting for you here for a long time."

This dialogue is similar to that of the ghost general I recruited.

"Please come with me, little sage."

Su Che patiently followed the Taoist Chang Le inside. At the end of the main hall was a throne, with a seat on each side.

There was someone in each of the three seats.

In the very center, a person wearing a tall crown, a nebula-like robe, and a bronze mask covering his face sat upright.

On his left and right were two people, both dressed in court robes and wearing black gauze hats, each holding a black jade tablet, looking like assistants and attendants.

"I've met Lord Zhongyuan."

Su Che bowed forward with both hands.

With this person appearing here, everything has the most reasonable explanation.

Zhongyuan raised his hand, and a beam of green light flew to Su Che's hand.

“Refine it with your pure, crystal-clear Buddha light.”

Su Che took it and examined it, only to find that it was a small dragon-shaped jade ring, no bigger than the palm of his hand, and entirely blue-green.

"This Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden is yours."

As Zhongyuan spoke, his eyes were fixed on the sky.

Narayana, you've finally arrived.
