I have a book of salvation

It was late at night.

After passing through the high wall ten feet away, the cold moonlight fell down and illuminated the earth as usual.

Looking around, you can see rolling mountains, clear rivers, and shade-like jungle vegetation.

In the background, you can see the ruined city and the broken eaves and broken walls covered with weeds, painting a desolate and desolate picture.

A hundred years ago, the prosperous Qixiu Kingdom suddenly turned into a desolate and dead land.

A hundred years have passed, and those buildings have long since collapsed and withered, leaving only crazy vegetation climbing up the city walls and growing unbridled.

Occasionally, birds and animals can be seen among the vegetation, but they disappear deep into the mountains.

Although it was deserted and inhabited, there was no unusual movement.

Yu Chen and Moko Buddha walked on the quiet and desolate land, illuminated by the moonlight, as if they were travelers from another world, lonely and alone.

All night long.

Didn't notice anything wrong at all.

Until the sun rises in the east and the morning light is dim.

A sudden change occurred!

At this moment, the two of them were stationed in a forest, silent and deserted.

But suddenly, an illusory mirage seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

In that mirage, there are also mountains, rivers and earth, as well as the sky, sun and moon.

And... people.

The figures cannot be seen clearly, but they do indeed exist in the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth.

"I'm afraid this is...the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss?" Yu Chen asked.

"Maybe." Moko Fuzi replied.

But while the two were talking, the mirage disappeared in an instant, leaving only the deserted dense forest in front of them.

"If the right arm of the golden body of the ancient Buddha Moko is really in this ghost country, there is only one possibility, it is in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Otherwise, the Moko Holy Temple has surrounded this ghost country for a hundred years, and I am afraid that every inch of sand on the ground will be turned over. You can't find that golden right arm if you search all over it."

Yu Chen rubbed his chin and speculated reasonably, then changed the subject, "But how can we enter the so-called Pure Land of Paradise?"

The ghost kingdom's "hidden spirit" phenomenon is not for every living being who steps into it. After someone breaks in, they evaporate inexplicably.

There are people who have traveled thousands of miles, and it doesn’t matter.

——The Bodhisattvas of the three holy temples are like this.

Therefore, even if those spiritually hidden creatures really went to the "Pure Land of Utmost Bliss", Yu Chen and Moko Buddhazi were not sure that they and others could also "divine themselves".

"The poor monk seems to...know."

Moko Buddha's eyes were strange, he murmured, and then took out the wordless Buddhist scripture.

Look at the wordless Buddhist scriptures that shine brightly under the light of your eyes!

It's like a sun descending on the ground!

In the light, an illusory door appeared.

The rolling sound of the Buddha roared like a torrent, penetrating into the eardrums of one person and one ghost.

They were stunned at the same time, and then without any hesitation, they stepped into the light door.

At the same time, the huge movement attracted the attention of Monk Moko stationed in the Ghost Kingdom.

After a while, figures came through the air and landed on the earth.

But the light of the wordless Buddhist scripture has long been dimmed, and there is no trace at all.

The monks searched one after another to no avail, so they had no choice but to report the unusual movement.

at the same time.

After Yu Chen and Mo Kefozi stepped into the light door, they felt like the world was spinning.

After regaining clarity, I looked around and found that I and I had arrived in a strange world.

At this moment, the two of them were high in the sky, looking around and seeing only the vast and endless land, with mountains and rivers surrounding it.

In the middle of the entire world is an endless plain.

Outside the plain, there is a towering city wall, which seems to be used to protect against something terrible - the city wall is covered with countless ferocious claw marks.

Within the city wall, simple stone houses stood one after another, with tanned, sallow and thin figures walking through them.

Carrying water, weaving, farming, chopping firewood... they are all extremely primitive and tiring tasks.

But above the sky, the sun is blazing, the earth is cracked, and the fields are dry. Those figures are sweating like rain and panting whenever they move.

At this moment, Yu Chen and Moko Buddha were still under the protection of the formation that covered the sky and hid from the world.

Looking at all this from thousands of miles away, my brows furrowed.

"Buddha, is this the rumored Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss?" Yu Chen asked.

Buddha Moko looked at the miserable figures and shook his head, "No one knows what the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss of Lord Moko looks like, but... it's definitely not like this."

While the two were talking, they flew away and fell into the city wall.

Just looking at the world within the vast city walls is extremely primitive and extremely... painful.

The houses are the most primitive, made of stones; the streets are muddy dirt roads; the people wear coarse linen clothes, which are shabby and old; the work they do is also farming, weaving, carrying water, and chopping firewood. ...Looking around, there is no trace of "iron" at all.

It seems that no "smelting" technology has been developed.

Quite original.

Entering the world within the city wall, one person and one ghost stand in this world, looking at this so-called "pure land of bliss".

They saw the men working in the fields, with their faces turned to the loess and their backs to the sky; they saw the people carrying water and chopping firewood, who were bent over; they saw the sallow and thin children in the houses, their eyes dull; they saw their food, It's the gruel with just a few grains of rice...

Coming and going, diligently.

But God seems to be against them.

The sun is scorching, the heat is unbearable, the earth is cracked, the fields are dry, water is scarce, and firewood is dry...

The conditions were difficult and brutal.

Yu Chen couldn't understand their language. Moko Buddha said that it was the language of Buddha, which was different from the language of Donghuang.

One person and one ghost lifted the "covering the sky from the world" and manifested in the world.

Moko Buddha just wanted to ask about the right arm of the ancient Buddha's golden body.

But he was discovered immediately by a child on the street who was struggling to carry an old wooden barrel.

Boom!

The heavy bucket fell to the ground and the precious water source crawled out!

The child, who was eight or nine years old, met two people, especially the monk-looking Moko Buddha.

Kneel down immediately, with eyes full of respect and admiration!

"Holy Monk! Holy Monk is here! My name is Xin, and I would like to welcome the Holy Monk!"

Bang bang bang!

Kowtow again and again!

The huge movement attracted the people around to look over and stop one after another, with respect and admiration in their eyes, and they knelt down and kowtowed!

Many people even took out drinking water and food from their stone homes and respectfully presented them to the two of them.

Then, he respectfully stepped back ten feet away and shouted the name of the holy monk!

As for the food and water on the ground, it looked like they had all their savings.

Of course, Yu Chen and Moko Fuzi couldn't accept the water they depended on for a living, so they declined politely.

But instead of being happy, the people went back dejected like eggplants beaten by frost.

Only the child who discovered the two of them in the first place insisted on inviting the holy monk to his home.

Yu Chen and Moko Buddha looked at each other. They happened to want to know the basic situation of this "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss", so they did not refuse.

The child was immediately overjoyed, held his head high and took the two of them home.

I was extremely proud all the way.

But it made Yu Chen and Mo Kefozi couldn't help but laugh. After all, they are still children at heart, innocent and childish.

Along the way, while the children were mumbling, Yu Chen and Moko Fuzi probably heard about the basic situation of this world.

Its name is "Pure Land", with an area of ​​tens of millions of miles, divided into hundreds of tribes, and the tribe where this child belongs is called "Dashi Tribe", with a total of about 30,000 people.

In the tribe, except for the patriarch in the "sacred church" who is responsible for communicating with the holy monks in heaven and eradicating heretics, the rest of the tribe performs their duties, with men farming and women weaving.

In addition, outside the pure land, it is called the "demon realm".

Every once in a while, infinitely terrifying monsters would appear in the demonic realm, killing people and sucking blood. It was extremely terrifying.

"Fortunately, the Buddha and the holy monks protected us and slayed the demons, otherwise the Pure Land would have been captured long ago!"

When he said this, the child looked at Moko Buddha with eyes filled with unparalleled admiration and respect.

——In this pure land, bald heads and ordination scars are the unique marks of holy monks.

It is absolutely impossible for others to follow suit, otherwise they would be disrespectful to the holy monks and the Buddha!

So as soon as Moko Buddha came out, he recognized him as a divine monk.

When I arrived at the child's home, I was unexpectedly extremely poor.

A rice vat has bottomed out; a stone bed is uneven; a water vat is turbid; a stone table is missing a leg. Other than that, there was only a crude and uneven stove.

According to the child, his name is "Xin", and his parents died under the attack of the demon a year ago. Fortunately, a holy monk came at the last moment to kill the demon, otherwise he would have been buried by the demon. mouth.

After roughly understanding the situation, Moko Buddha finally asked, but he heard the name "Moko Buddha".

Unexpectedly, the child looked frightened, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying and asking: "Holy Monk, where exactly did Xin blaspheme the Buddha? Please tell me clearly, and please don't doubt Xin's piety!"

Bang bang bang!

On the ground, there was blood.

Yu Chen and Mo Kefozi frowned.

Ask again!

Just now... from the crying child, I asked clearly!

——The "Buddha" in the children's mouth is none other than the "Moko Ancient Buddha" which has long been torn apart and most of the remains have been eaten by Moko Buddha's sons.

Yu Chen and Mo Ke were both stunned.

But before they could react, there was a sudden noise outside.

It seems to be talking about "heresy", "capital punishment", "eating flesh and drinking blood" and so on.

The child named "Xin" twitched his ears and immediately pushed out the door with a cry of apology.

Through the rough stone door.

Yu Chen and Moko Buddha saw an unforgettable scene and another side of this ancient and primitive world.

A naked man had already died of anger.

He was tied behind his back to a torture stake made of tree trunks and dragged along.

Dragging out long traces of blood.

Countless people, with silent anger and resentment in their eyes, rushed forward, biting his skin, flesh and hair one by one...

Biting and cursing at the same time.

The child named "Xin" was also among them.

Until a moment passed, only the skeleton was left of the man's body.

Everyone had to spit out bloody spit before leaving.

Xin is back too.

His mouth was full of blood, and there was something indescribable hanging between his half-length teeth. He looked at Yu Chen and Moko Fuzi, pursed his lips and smiled innocently, shyly and shyly.

Like a child waiting for praise from his parents.
