This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 136: Sealed in Modern Times

The ground was shaking violently, but because of Zhuang Lin's control, the damage to the ground was not severe. It only shattered the bricks and stones in the square under the pagoda, but did not affect anything around it.

Liu Lei and the others stared blankly at the huge monster that was only a dozen meters away from them, then slowly raised their heads and looked upwards, their hearts beating violently.

Rather than the palpitation of being smashed into meat patties just a dozen meters away, these people felt more of a sense of shock.

This is not just a three-story building.

A height of sixty or seventy meters is considered a tall building even in some cities of this era.

Moreover, this is obviously an ancient tower building, which just appeared from nothing and fell from the sky. Who would believe it if they didn't see it with their own eyes?
Someone around Liu Lei even slapped himself hard.

"What kind of words are those? I don't recognize them."

"That's an ancient seal script that's closer to bronze inscriptions. I can only half-guess it, but it should be the Exquisite Pagoda?"

Liu Lei said this with fear, while Zhuang Lin flew down with Xi Miao and the equally dazed Leng Zhiheng. A gust of wind brought them right in front of Liu Lei and the others.

To be honest, Liu Lei and the others were very moved when they saw the three people flying over. However, compared with the giant tower in front of them, the fact that people can fly doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Leng Zhiheng is still a person with a big heart. After all, he flew from JZ City to Donghai City. He was the first one to come back to his senses besides Zhuang Lin and Xi Miao.

"Liu Lei, do you believe me when I say I flew here directly from Jingzhou? I didn't take a plane, I came here on the wind."

Liu Lei finally shifted his gaze from the giant tower and glanced at Leng Zhiheng.

"I believe."

After saying that, Liu Lei, with excitement, straightened his suit and strode towards Zhuang Lin and Xi Miao who were standing over there watching them. When he got close, he bowed in ancient etiquette.

"Liu Lei greets Master Zhuang and this immortal. We met Master Zhuang back then. Do you still remember him?"

Zhuang Lin also smiled and bowed.

"Of course I won't forget, and Hongyu also values you very much. If you retain some spirituality in this mundane world, you will have great potential in the future! Oh, this is Fellow Daoist Xi Miao."

Liu Lei had already saluted, but he still saluted again to Xi Miao. The latter did not joke and just nodded slightly while standing beside Zhuang Lin.

"Master Zhuang, is this why you want us to clear the area?"

Zhuang Lin smiled.

"Exactly. I think it wouldn't be difficult for you to come up with a reason to create a tower out of nowhere, right?"

Liu Lei subconsciously looked at the tower again. You said it would be fine if there was just one more villa, but this tower
But Liu Lei nodded after opening his mouth.

"No problem, and such a tower is a perfect fit for the overall layout of the film and television city. Is this the immortal treasure from myth and legend?"

"That's understandable!"

Zhuang Lin smiled and nodded. Liu Lei nodded slightly, then moved closer to Zhuang Lin and spoke in a low voice.

"Master Zhuang, this tower shouldn't have always been here, right?"

"Well, certainly not."

Liu Lei took note of it secretly and then whispered it.

"Got it. I'll have someone record this tower and try to build a similar one, so that there will be another one like it in the same location in the future!"

It is indeed easier to talk to smart people, but Zhuang Lin doesn't need others to imitate a tower.

"There's no need to waste your time. I'll naturally leave behind an identical tower when the time comes!"

Before the moment of the blue eyes and square pupils, Zhuang Lin had already fully understood everything inside and outside the Linglong Pagoda. He could go back and cast a spell to imitate it. Of course, what he created was just the shape, not the spirit. It might have some magical uses, but it would not be even one-tenth of the magical uses of the real Linglong Pagoda.

Only after a long period of practice can it become somewhat magical.

Even this Linglong Tower is still in a damaged state. If it were repaired, it would be even more incomparable.

Zhuang Lin also had the idea of first imitating a Linglong Tower, and then figuring out how to repair the real magic weapon based on the imitation.

But for now, the Linglong Pagoda can still be placed here temporarily.

When Liu Lei heard Zhuang Lin's words, he didn't doubt it at all and just asked another question.

"So, Master Zhuang, what do you need us to do? Is it just to clear the area?"

Xi Miao on the side said jokingly.

"That's not the case. There are three evil Buddhas suppressed by the master in this tower. Although you don't need to worry too much about them, you still need to take care of them to prevent someone from carrying the Buddha statues out of the tower, hahahahahahaha."

Liu Lei, Leng Zhiheng and the people around them suddenly became nervous, and Leng Zhiheng couldn't help but say.

"If they resist, will it mean the evil Buddha has appeared, causing great suffering to all the people in the world? There's a TV show that portrays it that way!"

Xi Miao giggled as she listened, then turned around to look at the Linglong Pagoda, smiled and explained.

"Not really, it will just be a little troublesome. You should relax a little. The Buddha statue inside is not light, and there is also a pagoda blocking it. It is difficult to carry it out easily!" As he spoke, Zhuang Lin turned around, and the door of the exquisite pagoda opened inward automatically, revealing three shadows inside. At this time, the three evil Buddhas were still outside.

"Ruxian, don't think you can fool us by fabricating a Dharma Ending Age—"

"The disappearance of the surrounding spiritual veins is probably just Xi Miao's illusion. It's great that he can deceive me, but don't even think about deceiving our spiritual perception—"

"You two will not die a good death—when we get out, we will definitely massacre everyone in Xiangyang City. This is all your fault, it's you who caused this. All the evil karma in the ten directions will be attributed to you—"

"I was guarding the Five-Colored Divine Peak back then, and I've seen everything. Don't you want to know where the Five-Colored Divine Peak is? Kneel down and convert to me, and I'll tell you, hahahahaha—"

"These mortals seem promising. If you convert to Buddhism, I will allow you to enjoy all the wealth and pleasures of the world, including wealth, women, and indulge in all kinds of pleasures."

"Look here, who am I?"

As soon as the door opened, all kinds of sounds burst out immediately. There were actually hundreds of kinds of sounds made by the three evil Buddhas.

All kinds of voices, men, women, young and old, horror, violence, temptation, and fear.
The three evil Buddhas even changed into various shapes, cursing Zhuang Lin and Xi Miao, and tempting and confusing Liu Lei, Leng Zhiheng and others.

In less than a minute, everyone outside the tower except Zhuang Lin and Xi Miao felt their scalps tingling.

They were not bewitched, but just felt a chill, and were a little afraid that the three evil Buddhas would rush out of the tower. However, the three strange figures seemed to only change and move their mouths, and never rushed to the door.

Zhuang Lin’s familiarity with the Linglong Pagoda is increasing. Now he has reached the point where as long as he does not have any thoughts, even if the pagoda door opens, the three evil Buddhas will not go out.

When the door was opened last night, these three tried to escape many times, but they learned a lot of lessons in front of the door. Now they just talked and didn't dare to rush through the door again.

"You're so noisy, but it'll only last for a moment! Tsk, tsk, I pity you."

Xi Miao looked at the three evil Buddhas inside who could only curse to vent their anger. She said they were pitiful, but her expression and tone did not show any sympathy for the three people inside.

Zhuang Lin walked towards the Linglong Pagoda step by step.

The three evil Buddhas clearly hated Zhuang Lin to the core and cursed him whenever they got the chance, but when they saw Zhuang Lin coming, they felt a huge fear and the distorted Buddha shadows were still retreating.

The pain of last night is still vivid in his mind, but he still refuses to admit defeat.

"Ruxian, you need us. You can't let us be annihilated. If you want to know the secret of the Five-Colored Divine Mountain, you need us."

"We are the bodies of Buddhas, we have achieved the true fruit of cultivation, we are immortal and indestructible. Even you cannot kill us, and as long as we don't tell you, you won't dare to touch us."

Zhuang Lin shook his head slightly. These twisted creatures of the devil sometimes had dead ends in their thinking. They believed that he didn't dare to take action, and they firmly believed this.

Until Zhuang Lin walked into the Linglong Pagoda, Liu Lei outside became nervous, but the three evil Buddhas had already retreated one after another, obviously very afraid of Zhuang Lin.

"What do you want?"

Zhuang Lin looked at the three evil Buddhas, and it seemed as if his Dharma eyes could still see the various sins and causes and consequences that were linked to their fate, even though they were separated by time and space.

"You enjoy the desires of the human world, yet you hate me so much. Then I will let you stay here and experience the changes of the Dharma Ending Age for yourself. Don't worry, I will only restrict your physical form, not your spiritual consciousness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Lin stretched out his hand and pointed at the Buddha statue on the first floor in front of him.

The next moment, a powerful squeezing force emerged from the entire exquisite pagoda, causing the three evil Buddhas to scream miserably. Then, it transformed into a faint light and landed on Zhuang Lin's fingertips, then flew towards the almost weathered Buddha statue and merged into it.

In an instant, the world became quiet and the noise of the evil Buddha disappeared, but the feeling was still there, even stronger.

Outside the temple, Xi Miao looked up slightly at the Buddha statue inside the first layer. She could feel that the three evil Buddhas were forcibly squeezed onto this Buddha statue by Zhuang Lin, and the pagoda sealed their Buddha forms, but only left a few wisps of spiritual consciousness exploring outside.

It’s like a person is trapped with his mouth sealed, he can only see and hear, but cannot actively communicate with the outside world.

After Zhuang Lin came out, Liu Lei and others were still watching carefully from outside. Now they knew that there was an evil spirit sealed in the Buddha statue.

"This tower has its own mysteries. In the future, it could be open to the public for visits, and scholars could study its details to see if they can find any results."

"Ah? A visit? Let's not do that. It would be terrible if something unexpected happened!"

"Don't worry, they can't get out!"

Zhuang Lin said this to comfort him, and then looked at the surrounding buildings that were either completed or still under construction.

“When will this place be completed and open?”

"The construction is scheduled to begin in three months, but because some of the construction is quite difficult, it probably won't be fully open by then. However, it will be partially open for filming and tourism."

Zhuang Lin nodded, but seeing that even Liu Lei was still looking at the pagoda with a vigilant and nervous look on his face, he thought for a moment and added something.

"Don't worry, I will arrange for my students to take turns guarding this tower to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

Hearing this, Liu Lei and others breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that they don't want to take on this responsibility, but if mortals are in charge of such a place, there are many precedents in TV dramas and some vernacular novels, and most of them will be bad things. They won't be able to take responsibility when the time comes!
Zhuang Lin looked at the first floor of the pagoda again. He knew that the evil Buddhas were only sealed, but they could hear everything from the outside world. They could even spy on the desires of the mortals nearby, but they could not do anything.

"You will stay here forever, waiting for it to dissipate slowly in silence!"
