Yinshan Record

Chapter 365 Sealing the Tongue: An Undeserved Disaster
Although Buddhism teaches that all beings are equal, there is still a saying that "men have bodies made of seven treasures, while women have bodies made of five leaks."

Śikṣānanda's current worldly Dharma body has been destroyed, and he has fallen into a female body. This not only damages the foundation of his practice, but also represents a regression in his attainment of Buddhahood.

Therefore, although Shichananda is still at the fifth-grade Rejuvenating Core level, he is fundamentally far behind ordinary Rejuvenating Core cultivators.

Taking a step forward brings new supernatural powers, while taking a step back brings new karmic consequences.

The strict rules and regulations of Buddhism are concentrated here.

Returning to the realm of hungry ghosts, under the protection of his father, Vajra Yaksha, he can naturally make up for his fundamental deficiencies.

However, Siksananda was not resigned to this.

He left the realm of hungry ghosts in order to escape that sea of ​​suffering, cultivate himself to a higher level, and spread the profound teachings of Buddhism to the Central Plains.

Now, returning to the hungry ghost realm in such a disgraceful manner is tantamount to the death of all the hard work and sacrifices of the three ancient Buddhas and Vajra Yaksha Kings of the hungry ghost realm, as well as many of their clansmen.
This is absolutely unacceptable.

"I heard that the fairy is a direct disciple of the Jade Yang Mountain Sect Leader and may take over the sect in the future."

Siksananda looked at Xue Baizhi and said, "I wonder if that's true."

"I have indeed become a disciple of the Sect Leader." Xue Baizhi looked at Shicha Nanda, her sword intent brewing within her.

This bald man's eternal, mortal body has been broken; he is no match for me today.

The Seven Swords must be unleashed in succession before she presents the purple-gold alms bowl.

Xue Baizhi mentally calculated all the possibilities that would arise once they clashed, determined to kill Shichananda as soon as she made her move.

"I did indeed become a disciple of the sect leader."

"Before I left the Hungry Ghost Realm, I heard the World Honored One explain the various sects and schools in the Central Plains. He mentioned that your sect integrates the Xuanmen and Sword Sects into one place, and is blessed by the legacy of the Five Emperors of the Five Directions in ancient times. It is a giant in the Central Plains. However, it is a pity that the fundamental classics of the sect are slightly missing. Therefore, the seniors of the sect have stopped at the second-grade Tribulation Technique realm, and no one has ascended to the Earth Immortal realm."

These bald guys are quite the gossips.

Xue Baizhi was naturally aware of the current predicament of Yuyang Mountain. With the Xuanmen's mastery of swordsmanship, it was certainly an easy path. The Xuanmen system was easy to enter and easy to leave, and swordsmanship was the supreme means of killing.

This is the foundation upon which Yuyang Mountain has achieved its current status.

However, this is also the unfortunate situation of Yuyang Mountain. Looking back over the ages, Yuyang Mountain is just a newly emerging Xuanmen sect, and its founding patriarch was only a True Person in terms of cultivation. It is quite lacking in the fundamental inheritance.

Over the years, although predecessors have continuously blazed new trails, only a handful of people have ever broken through the Six-Nine Tribulations and achieved the Tribulation Law position.

As for the first-rank Earth Immortals, there are not a single one.

The so-called Xuanmen sword cultivators are nothing more than struggling to find a way to survive.

"It's just a small matter for our sect, but it has troubled you ancient Buddhas. We are truly grateful."

Xue Baizhi's words carried an even greater chill.

"Namo Buddha".

Siksananda clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name: "Fairy, do you know what that cliff is related to?"

"Hmm? Then please enlighten me, Your Highness."

"If my prediction is correct, this place should be related to the ancient underworld."

"In ancient times, there was a terrestrial immortal named Taishan Fujun who created the Netherworld. His power and supernatural abilities were no less than those of the Five Emperors of the Five Directions. His ten underworld kings were all illustrious figures who had attained the Dao as terrestrial immortals. Luofeng City, the Nine Netherworld. However, it is a pity that the reasons for the rise and fall of this Taishan Fujun have been forgotten."

"This humble nun discovered a stone tablet in front of this cliff, on which are written the eight characters 'Luo Feng You Ming, open when calamity arrives'."

Prince Yaksha spoke eloquently.

"There may be some connection between this and the events of Luo Feng City back then, so this humble nun dares to ask to join forces with the fairy to find out the reason behind it."

Xue Baizhi raised her pretty eyebrows: "Your Highness has a group of experts from the Great River Alliance, so there's no need for me."

“If this place is indeed related to Lord Taishan, it will surely be a sensational event in the entire world.” Shicha Nanda shook her head slightly: “I’m afraid the Dajiang Alliance can’t handle it, while Yuyang Mountain is the head of the Xuanmen in the Central Plains. I can figure out the choices and priorities here.”

She paused slightly before continuing, "Moreover, compared to the Great River Alliance, which has the shadow of the White Deer Cave behind it, this humble nun would much rather cooperate with the fellow Daoists of the Xuanmen." Xue Baizhi chuckled softly.

"When did the Great River Alliance come to believe in the sage's teachings of the White Deer Cave? How come I didn't know?"

"I have only just learned the reason behind this. The Jade Alliance Leader of the Great River Alliance is actually the old man from the White Deer Cave. He changed his appearance and came to the Great River Alliance. He put in a lot of effort to succeed in taking the position."

"It seems the Crown Prince has calculated everything perfectly, but I'd like to ask one more question," Xue Baizhi said, looking at Śikṣānanda. "What benefit does this bring to the Crown Prince?"

"The Buddhist teachings say that helping others is helping yourself. This humble nun is fortunate to have gained a good connection with Fellow Daoist Xue."

"The Crown Prince is indeed wise and insightful." Xue Baizhi smiled and said, "It seems that according to the Crown Prince's intention, the reason we have joined forces this time is only to prevent Bailudong from taking over this ruin. As for how to share the benefits inside, he didn't even mention it."

"Fairy, please don't underestimate this humble nun. The benefits of such ancient ruins depend on one's own fortune."

The two women's beautiful eyes met, and their gazes shone brightly, making the masked man beside them appear even smaller.

Su Che swallowed hard.

Damn it, do you really think I'm dead?

Lord Taishan, I remember that the Yin-Yang Dharma King possessed a secret treasure called the "Nine Netherworld Records," which contained countless ghosts and spirits, and was said to be related to you.

I had once been envious of it, but I never imagined that such relics were buried in Cizhou.

What were those two people trying to do when they rose up in Cizhou? They were raising monsters and hiding in the underworld.

Su Che thought for a moment and slowly moved backward.

Siksananda was no match for him, and neither was Xue Baizhi.

However, this little vixen's sword aura is formidable. As long as we quickly create distance, there are plenty of ways to deal with them.

"Namo Buddha." Śikṣānanda suddenly appeared beside Suchṣa, his lips slightly parted: "And who is this?"

"Will the Crown Prince silence anyone he encounters on the road?"

Xue Baizhi smiled, acting as if it had nothing to do with her.

"He certainly has good potential."

Siksananda scanned Su Che up and down several times with his eyes.

"It would be a pity to kill him."

Xue Baizhi nodded: "What does the Crown Prince mean?"

"There always needs to be someone who can scout ahead."

Siksananda raised his hands, and a beam of Buddhist light was directly imprinted on Suche's throat.

“Once I seal his tongue, the news will not leak out.”

Prince Yaksha reached out and pressed down on Su Che's wrist, then took out a jade ring from his sleeve and put it on.

"This ring contains the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. Although it is only a wisp, it can reduce you to nothingness in an instant."

Siksananda smiled slightly: "Do you understand?"

Su Che nodded repeatedly, while Xue Baizhi frowned.

"If you're worried about the news leaking out, the Crown Prince can simply silence him; why resort to these methods?"

Xue Baizhi looked at the man in black. Although his face was covered, she could still see the panic in his eyes.

It was an unexpected disaster.
