Chapter 290 I Have a Special Summoning Ritual (Thank you to Little Erii, who likes to read, for the 100,000 reward)
The Buddhist Temple, Tiantai Sect.
Ku Rong, whose Vajra body had been crippled by Yuanjue's palm, was escorted back to the mountain by a group of monks. He then took medicinal pills to heal his injuries, because there were several eminent monks from the major Buddhist sects here, many of whom were skilled in medicine. In addition, Yuanjue had not used excessive force, so Ku Rong quickly regained consciousness.
However, his cultivation technique could no longer be restored.
Alone, he found the deepest meditation room. When he pushed open the door, he saw a tall stone Buddha statue, its hands forming the Vajra Fearless Mudra, but its expression was merciful, looking down at the monks below. A young and handsome monk was there, eyes closed, one hand turning prayer beads, the other striking a wooden fish.
Ku Rong, whose age already exceeded ninety, respectfully put his palms together and bowed deeply.
"Master Ancestor."
"This disciple has returned."
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying:
"This disciple has failed to live up to your decree, please punish me, Master Ancestor."
The young monk looked peaceful, striking the wooden fish, and replied calmly, "It's fine."
"The influence of the Daoist school is great. Being able to achieve this step was within expectations."
"The contention between Buddhism and Daoism means the Daoists naturally want to gain the upper hand, but isn't this also an opportunity for my Buddhist school to widely spread Buddhist teachings? Before this, the Daoists accounted for ninety-nine percent of the momentum and methods. This time, in the Buddhist-Daoist debate, you don't need to defeat the Daoists, just prove that Buddhism truly has great supernatural powers."
"This poor monk's initial goal was not to obtain one hundred percent of the divine land's orthodoxy."
"It is enough that the Daoists are given seventy percent and my Buddhist school occupies thirty percent."
The young monk's voice was calm. Ku Rong was first stunned, then suddenly understood. This time, the Buddhist school seemed to have failed to obtain the greatest benefit, but compared to having nothing at the beginning, it was already a tremendous change.
The young monk said, "You may come forward."
Ku Rong's face was respectful as he moved forward.
The monk stopped striking the wooden fish, one hand turning prayer beads, the other palm pressed on the top of Ku Rong's head. A Buddhist light flashed, and he said:
"It's just that his supernatural powers have been sealed by Buddhism."
He did not help Ku Rong break this seal as the latter had hoped. Instead, he withdrew his palm, still closed his eyes, shook his head, and said in a calm voice, "Your foundation is too shallow, only pursuing supernatural powers. You were already on the wrong path. This encounter is a blessing, not a disaster, for you."
"Go and recite scriptures, comprehend Buddhist teachings. Once you have put in the effort, supernatural powers will naturally return."
Ku Rong felt regret in his heart but did not dare to say more and turned to leave.
After Ku Rong left, an old monk walked out from the shadows. He glanced at the former's back, sighed, put his palms together, and asked, "Master, were his supernatural powers really not abolished?"
"They have been abolished."
"Then why did you..."
The young monk struck the wooden fish and replied, "All karma is planted in the heart. I am only leaving a seed in his heart. If he can dedicate himself to studying Buddhist teachings, once he has put in the effort and gained enlightenment, he will not care about supernatural powers. At that time, supernatural powers will come naturally. Then, tell me, would I have spoken falsely to him?"
If he comprehended Buddhist teachings, supernatural powers would naturally return, just as the young monk had said.
The old monk seemed to understand something.
The young monk replied, "This is the debate between illusion and reality, truth and falsehood."
Then, he calmly instructed, "For this Dharma debate, if it is just ordinary Daoists, it will be enough for you to go. If Zhang Ruosu from Longhu Mountain comes down the mountain himself, this poor monk will meet the Celestial Master of this era."
"You cannot be his opponents."
His voice was calm, his mind undisturbed, coupled with the sandalwood incense and the sound of the wooden fish, making people feel peaceful.
As if all karma was already predestined.
Ordinary people of the world only need to move forward calmly.
The old monk respectfully bowed, about to leave, when the handsome monk asked:
"By the way, there is one more thing..."
"Jialan Bodhisattva also appeared on Longhu Mountain today. Who awakened him?"
The old monk bowed and replied, "He claimed to be the Lord of the Taiping Department, one of the Three Caverns and Four Assistants."
"Jialan Bodhisattva, Guan Yunchang, once called his name."
"As for his name..."
"It seems to be Yuan."
With a loud bang, the old monk was startled, but saw that the monk, whose appearance was only like a handsome youth, had heavily struck the wooden fish with the mallet in his hand, smashing a large hole in the wooden fish. The sound of the wooden fish, the movement of turning prayer beads, all stopped, and there was no movement for a long time.
A long time later, the prayer beads suddenly scattered, rolling all over the ground.
The monk who had been meditating with his eyes closed opened his eyes.
"You said... who?!"
………………
Wei Yuan returned to the museum and told the water ghost that he was going into seclusion.
Then, using the resonance of the bronzeware, he returned to the world of the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*.
However, this time he did not leave immediately, but found Fei Yu and Wu Yu, took out a book and handed it over. Fei Yu and Wu Yu took it, opened it, and saw that it contained pictures and some characters they had never seen before. They were both somewhat confused.
However, with the ancient incantations as annotations, they could barely understand what the characters meant.
Wei Yuan pointed to the book and explained, "You two, read this book first. After you have learned the characters, I will take you to a place where you should be able to learn a lot of things, which will be of great use to Chaoge City."
The most crucial things, such as the transplantation and cultivation of organisms.
Wei Yuan remembered that they had previously cut off a branch of the Chongwu fruit, which was said to bring offspring, and brought it back.
Fei Yu and Wu Yu looked solemn and nodded in agreement.
Wei Yuan nodded, thought of the Chongwu fruit he had brought back earlier, and casually asked, "By the way, how effective is the Chongwu fruit? Did you use it?"
Wu Yu coughed slightly awkwardly and said, "Used it."
Fei Yu looked determined and frank, and replied:
"Mountain God, we have used it all up."
"The effect should be very good!"
Used it all up…
Wei Yuan thought of the two sacks of Chongwu fruit that the two had carried back, opened his mouth, and was speechless for a moment.
………………
To Wei Yuan's surprise, the Bo beast did not leave, perhaps because it had been frightened before, but it was still waiting on the mountain outside Chaoge City. It seemed that the Bo beast had finally figured it out during this period of time.
The world of the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* was so big, and there was so much to eat.
And it could be his mount.
This guy had no reason to eat him, right?
Moreover, if it left, it would have to run around to find food. Wouldn't it be able to eat all over the world of the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* by following this guy? Just thinking about this possibility made the Bo beast feel like saliva was about to flow out.
Seeing Wei Yuan appear, not only did it not run away on the spot, but it directly leaned over with its horse-like face.
Wei Yuan did not know what this Bo beast, which had been around for thousands of years, was thinking. Without thinking much, he patted the Bo beast's back, sat on it, and said, "Go, go southeast."
The Bo beast only thought that it was going to find food and was very excited.
The scales hidden under the fur emitted a red glow, and it stepped out, transforming into the state of a Bo dragon, its voice low and like the sound of a drum. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared. Wei Yuan still maintained the appearance of a young man in the state of a mountain god. After running thousands of miles in one breath, the Bo dragon asked, "Mountain God, where should we stop?"
"I can send you anywhere, to the sky or the earth."
Wei Yuan said, "The Nine Netherworlds."
"Can you go?"
The Bo beast paused, stepping in the air, and said awkwardly:
"...Mountain God, you're really joking."
"The Nine Netherworlds, the Nine Netherworlds are not even in the world of the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*. They are in the northwest of the sky. Without connections, you need great supernatural powers. I am just a small Bo beast from Zhongqu Mountain. How can I be qualified to run from the world of the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* to the Nine Netherworlds?"
The last time Wei Yuan went, the mountain gods of the Nine Netherworlds led the way.
Thinking about it, he pointed to the front and said, "It's good to stop below Zhongshan."
The Bo dragon neighed and landed on the ground.
Wei Yuan got off the horse, looked at the surrounding environment, and pointed to the flat ground next to the stream, saying:
"Let's just do it here."
The Bo dragon leaned over, ingratiatingly, and said, "Mountain God, what are you going to do?"
Wei Yuan replied, "Find some suitable sacrifices to sacrifice to the god of Zhongshan, Zhujiu Yin."
He joked, "If I can't go over, it's okay for Him to come over."
He saw the Bo dragon's body stiffen, and then he understood what this guy was thinking, and said with a smile, "I'm not planning to use you. You have a body of copper and iron bones, and it will waste my teeth to bite you. Go and get a few demon beasts back."
The Bo dragon breathed a sigh of relief.
It came and went like the wind and soon returned with its prey.
Then, it curiously looked at Wei Yuan and slowly said, "Mountain God, how can we sacrifice to Zhongshan and the god of the Nine Netherworlds? Moreover, even if we sacrifice to such great gods, they may not necessarily respond, right?"
Wei Yuan pondered.
He thought about it and replied, "I have a unique method of summoning gods."
"There should be no problem."
A unique method of summoning gods?
The Bo beast was stunned and could not help but feel curious.
What method could summon the god of Zhongshan? Was it some kind of solemn sacrifice, or an even grander activity than the great sacrifice of Chaoge City?
It saw Wei Yuan first take out a piece of white jade with the words "God of Zhongshan Nine Netherworlds" written on it, and then place it on the ground in the northwest direction.
It was thoughtful, this was the first step, to confirm the existence that the sacrifice was pointing to, but why was it so hasty?
It should be more solemn and grand.
But since it was a unique method, it might be different from ordinary rituals.
The Bo dragon gave an answer in its heart, and then saw Wei Yuan stretch out his hand, forming a knife and sword, and chop down on the prey with one knife.
Bo beast: "???"
………………
Wei Yuan used divine power to turn it into a knife and sword to process the demon beasts that had been brought back.
In addition to the materials he had previously told the old Celestial Master, he also had to bring some other auxiliary materials, and the rest was directly used materials from the world of the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*. His cooking skills were okay. Although there was a blessing of magic, he could do everything as he pleased, which was equivalent to mastering the heat directly to the top.
But there were also many chefs in the human world whose skills were better than his.
It's just that those whose cooking skills were better than his did not understand the products of the world of the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* at all.
And the one who understood the world of the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* better than him.
His cooking skills were basically nightmarish.
That can't be said...
At least, he wouldn't die if he ate it himself.
Wei Yuan silently complained about his old friend, but his hands did not stop at all. Finally, he skewered the most tender parts of the mountain-like beast, marinated it, and then used the True Art of Spitting Flames to control the heat and slowly bake it. He also took a small brush and slowly brushed honey water defrauded from the old Celestial Master onto the meat.
This honey water came from the Qin Yuan.
The Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain has been newly established, and the employment assistance center office for exotic animals and beasts in the mountains and seas has successfully deceived... no, transformed Qin Yuan into a self-employed beekeeper.
I don’t know how they did it.
This fierce beast was not weak, and it could instinctively breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He used the Earthly Fiend method to bake it.
The more it was baked, the more intense the flavor became.
The oil dripped down, and the flames burned, making a sizzling sound.
Finally, when Wei Yuan sprinkled cumin powder, it was like detonating a bomb. The aroma exploded with a bang, rich and intense, almost drilling into the nose and impacting the brain cavity. The Bo dragon was curious about what kind of summoning method it was, but later it couldn't think at all. Its eyes were fixed on the golden and attractive barbecue, swallowing saliva.
Finally, when the aroma rushed to its forehead, its brain went blank.
A tempting idea appeared in its mind.
Take a bite, just take a small bite.
At this moment, the stomach successfully took over the brain.
The Bo dragon opened its mouth, revealing a pair of buck teeth, and slowly bit towards the meat.
Suddenly, the movement froze slightly.
Even it, which had cultivated into a dragon state from a Bo beast, instantly lost the ability to think, and only had the impulse to crawl on the ground.
In front of Wei Yuan, a man with a simple face and a plain expression appeared. His eyes swept over the golden and attractive food without any change in expression. He was like the model of all gods, the order and contract since ancient times, majestic, calm, proud, and then...
He lifted his robe and sat on the ground.
Bo dragon: "…………"
He really came?!!
Zhujiu Yin, the god who supports heaven and earth, the dragon who illuminates the Nine Netherworlds, the great god who holds the country without day!
Ju... Ju... Just this?!
