Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Time is illusory, life is like a dream, with ups and downs, stumbles, and ultimately it is smoke and clouds!

People in this world practice cultivation, seemingly seeking immortality in accordance with the Way of Heaven, but what is the reality? They cultivate their own immortality, but is immortality the Way of Heaven? I'm afraid no one has yet answered this question. Xuantian Pavilion, once the symbol of immortality in accordance with the Way of Heaven, has fallen. In this vast world, who can answer this question?

There are four seasons in the world, and all things have their growth and decline, but humans alone have no reincarnation. The attachment to life and the fear of death are desires engraved in everyone's bones, and this has nothing to do with cultivation.

Ximen Xuanyue turned from Buddha to devil, and from devil to Buddha, and was finally buried in the forest of Buddha relics. He actually had another meaning, which was to tell the people in the Great Dream Cave that the end of the Tao is not immortality, and the Ten Paths of Xuantian cannot lead to immortality. When he was afraid of death, the Buddhist path he adhered to was no longer the way of heaven.

What a pity! The people in the Great Dream Scripture Cave were unaware of all this; he was in a dream.

Ximen Xuanyue's last words were what he left for the people in the Great Dream Scripture Cave. It was also a pity that the people in the Great Dream Scripture Cave seemed to only regard those words as his warning to Ximen Xuanyue a thousand years ago.

In the dream of the Blood Sea and Book Mountain of Yanmeng Sect, Lu Jiayao was bathed in the Buddha's light. She was dreaming, dreaming within a dream!

The Great Dream Sutra is a key, a key to entering the real blood sea and mountain of books. Now, Lu Jiayao is actually entering her own dream in the dream of the people in the Great Dream Sutra cave.

"Hey, silly girl, why did you wake me up? Wouldn't it be better to let me sleep forever in my dream? I wanted to become a Buddha, but the heavens forsaken me. Was I really wrong back then?"

The people in the Great Dream Scripture Cave were sighing, feeling so sad and regretful, yet also somewhat unwilling.

Lu Jiayao didn't hear it because she was practicing the real "Great Dream Sutra" in her dream.

Neither Lu Jiayao nor Meng Yimeng knew that the corridor of the Great Dream Sutra Cave was actually divided into two sections, one inside and one outside. The two sections were exactly the same, with the Great Dream Sutra Cave as the boundary.

Initially, both corridors were shimmering with Buddha's light. Thousands of years later, they have become what they are today. There is only one reason for this:

The outer corridor means that the end of the devil is Buddha, while the inner corridor means that the end of Buddha is devil.

This is also the answer that Ximen Xuanyue has never been able to find in his entire life!

The people in the Great Dream Sutra Cave did not want to accept Lu Jiayao as their disciple. Of course, it was not because Lu Jiayao was a little girl, but because he himself was hesitating. Once Lu Jiayao inherited the "Great Dream Sutra", he would be reborn, but he refused the rebirth in his heart, because at the end of the inner corridor, he had become a demon!

How ridiculous and tragic is the way of heaven. The people in the Great Dream Cave are just like Ximen Xuanyue, who have gone from Buddha to devil!

In his heart, he hoped that Lu Jiayao would pass on the "Great Dream Sutra", so that his purest and most reverent feelings towards Buddha could be passed on.

If Lu Jiayao had not come here, the corridor of the Great Dream Scripture Cave would eventually become as dark as ink, and the Great Dream Scripture would have completely become a demonic scripture!

So, the corridor that Meng Yimeng entered was actually real, but what he saw was the final corridor.

The Buddha's light in the corridor was decreasing, and until it completely disappeared, Lu Jiayao woke up.

Lu Jiayao, radiant with Buddha's light, stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the three inky black characters "Da Meng Jing" on the cave. She frowned slightly, and after a long moment, she finally spoke:

"Is the Great Dream Sutra a demonic sutra or a Buddhist sutra?"

"Buddha and devil are in one's own heart, not in the scriptures!"

Lu Jiayao bit her lips, thinking and understanding!

"You don't mean that the Great Dream Sutra has changed, but that your heart has changed, right?"

"There is another possibility. The laws of nature are changing, the laws of the world are changing. After all, a thousand years have passed!"

Lu Jiayao didn't buy it and said coldly:

"Is this the reason you gave for your transformation from a Buddhist to a demon? Don't you find it ridiculous?"

The Great Dream Sutra Cave fell into silence, and there was no response for a long time.

Lu Jiayao did not leave. She could leave at any time now, but she had doubts in her heart.

"Hey, that's how I questioned Ximen Xuanyue back then. I can't give you an answer!"

"What about me? What should I do?"

The Great Dream Sutra Cave fell into silence again after a long time!

"The way of heaven and earth lies within oneself, not in cultivation. The way of the world lies within oneself, not in the mortal world. My answer from a thousand years ago was wrong. I think the true answer lies in the arena, in the mortal world!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiayao was stunned for a moment, then smiled miserably!

"The rivers and lakes, the mortal world, I can't escape after all! You practice Buddhism to save all living beings, but you can't save yourself. I have already saved myself, but you taught me the supreme Dharma!"

"Hey!"

Lu Jiayao sighed softly, turned around and walked out of the corridor.

"Hey!"

There was also a soft sigh in the Great Dream Sutra Cave.

When Lv Jiayao reached the end of the corridor, she stopped and said softly:

"I should still call you Master. Next time we meet, I will show no mercy. Buddha and the devil cannot coexist!"

"Go ahead and find your answer, which is also the answer I want to know!"

Lu Jiayao really left.

When she reappeared, Lu Jiayao stood at the intersection of the blue sea and the path of the mountain of books. She was filled with emotion. She had a real dream, but how much she hoped in her heart that it was fake!

Lu Jiayao walked up to the top of the mountain of books step by step. Each step was so heavy and so lonely. She looked at those books and felt how ironic it was that on the entire path of the mountain of books, only a will was useful. But was it really useful?

Lu Jiayao stood on the top of the Book Mountain, looking at the blue sea, lonely mountain, bamboo forest, and desolate graves, her eyes full of regret. She knew that all this would soon disappear, and there would be no more Yanmeng Sect in the world!

Lu Jiayao burst into tears and looked down at Ximen Xuanyue's last words in her hand. A flash of Buddha's light appeared, and the words disappeared into ashes.

"The way of heaven and earth lies in the mortal world, not in one's own body; the way of the world lies in the rivers and lakes, not in one's own heart!"

Lu Jiayao left, but her voice echoed in the sea of ​​blood and mountain of books for a long time.

The door to the Great Dream Sutra Cave in the Heart of the Sea of ​​Blood has opened!

"Oh, you are such a silly girl. You didn't even ask your master's name. I don't think I asked your name either!"

A monk appeared at the entrance of the cave, a monk with demonic light all over his body. The strange thing was that his cassock was blood red, so dazzling that it could not cover up the dark demonic light.

This person had a string of Buddhist beads hanging in front of him. The beads, which were as big as a fist, could not cover his fat belly at all. The beads were rotating, and it looked like they were gently stroking his fat belly.

He had a face full of fat, which squeezed his eyes into slits. There were three round monk's scars on his head, arranged in a straight line.

The most wonderful thing is his smiling face. If he were a Buddha, he would be very friendly, but now that he is a demon, his smile is chilling.

"A sleep of a thousand years, a dream of eternity, Xuanyue, you should still be here, right? The Buddhist avenue of Xuantian Pavilion should not be able to harm you!"

The smiling fat devil walked out of the corridor. He walked in front, but everything behind him was collapsing.

When the smiling fat demon reached the top of the mountain of books, the sea of ​​blood and the mountain of books had disappeared, only the bamboo forest and the desolate grave remained.

The smiling fat demon walked into the bamboo forest and looked at Ximen Xuanyue's grave, and his smile disappeared.

"Are you going to die like this? Isn't that too easy? Do some debts just end when you die?"

The smiling fat demon struck the desolate grave with one palm, and the grave turned into dust in an instant.

"You woke up, but you still couldn't defeat your inner demons. The almighty Xuantian Pavilion has certified the ten paths of the world, but it's a pity that it can't certify the hearts of practitioners themselves. How ridiculous and pathetic!"

The sound dissipated along with the dust.

"Damn it, you disobedient demon!"

The smiling fat demon waved his hand, and everything around him disappeared. He was really angry that Ximen Xuanyue's last obsession was to mock him.

The smiling fat demon looked up into the void and muttered to himself:

"Xuantian Pavilion, Xuantian Pavilion..."

The blood-colored barrier outside the Blood Sea Book Mountain was shrinking, and finally turned into a blood-colored Buddhist bead, which fell into the hands of the Smiling Fat Demon.

"What a pity, Hong Buddha's relics!"

A sigh dissipated into the void.

After the smiling fat demon left, the bamboo forest and the desolate grave miraculously reappeared, as did the tombstone, but there were no words on it.

The Blood Sea Book Mountain of the Yanmeng Sect disappeared, and all the people of the Yanmeng Sect also disappeared, disappearing in a sea of ​​blood.

From afar, there was only a bamboo forest in the thick fog and smoke.

The storm in Jianying has not yet ended, but the storm in Yingzhou is coming to an end. Who could have thought that the first to fall and disappear among the one pavilion, two religions, three sects and four families in Yingzhou would be the reclusive Yanmeng Sect?

Sadly, all this originated from Yan Mengzong himself!

Ximen Xuanyue also disappeared along with the Yanmeng Sect. This person's name no longer exists in the world, but people are still searching for the end of Buddha and Demon!
