Chapter 35: Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers and Asking for the Way Tao Tie immediately noticed something strange about Tan Jinxuan. However, Tao Tie did not try to stop Tan Jinxuan from flying into the mural, and he didn't even have the intention to do so. At this moment, Tao Tie just wanted to beat that bastard Tan Jinxuan to death! Earlier, I saw Tan Jinxuan constantly flattering and beating around the bush with Old Monk Liansheng, and I thought this guy was very patient and wanted to conduct a thorough investigation. Unexpectedly, after seeing the mural, he joined in without even saying hello. What a reckless person! Tao Tie was left alone to deal with the old monk Liansheng and other possible dangers in Wushan Temple. Is it really okay to sell out teammates like this? not good! and many more……

While complaining angrily, Tao Tie suddenly remembered the situation after getting on the carriage. Tan Jinxuan tried to speak several times, but was made awkward by his indifferent attitude. Gan! It turns out that it wasn't that Tan Jinxuan didn't want to say hello in advance, but that I didn't give him a chance! You can only eat the bitter melon you grow yourself. First deal with the current changes, and then settle the account with Tan Jinxuan. Tao Tie's mind was working rapidly and he didn't stop his actions. Five little ghosts flew out of the Five Ghosts Bag. The dead ghosts of "Spring", "Summer", "Autumn" and "Winter" each hold a talisman to ward off evil spirits and guard the four directions of Tao Tie, front, back, left and right. The "middle" ghost flew over Tao Tie's head, looking down from above, commanding the four ghosts, ready to go. If Monk Liansheng makes any rash move, the five ghosts will attack him at the risk of their lives to buy time for Tao Tie. Tao Tie held the top-grade yellow sword at his waist in his left hand, lifted it upwards, and placed it across his chest. He gripped the hilt with his right hand, ready to draw the sword at any time. Even if you don't learn the "Taiyi Fenguan Sword Art" in time, you won't be proficient in swordsmanship, sword techniques, and sword spells. However, he has a strong physique, abundant magic power, and the entry-level "swordsmanship" of the Earthly Evil Technique. When Tao Tie draws the sword in his hand, even if he swings it randomly, it still has a certain killing power. What's more, Tao Tie would definitely add the Earthly Evil Technique "Demon Slaying" to the magic sword to further enhance the lethality. Perhaps Old Monk Liansheng was slow to react, perhaps he was unable to stop it, or perhaps he did not want to stop it. Just let Tao Tie make all possible strategic defense attack and logistical support preparations in an instant. "Amitabha." After Tao Tie was fully armed, Monk Liansheng came slowly and chanted a Buddhist name, then respectfully called out, "I, Liansheng, beg the goddess to come down to earth, give alms, and lure him with my desire to lead him into Buddha's wisdom." As soon as he finished speaking, the mural that contained Tan Jinxuan's soul suddenly shone brightly. This light is red and pink, sticky and greasy, reaching directly into the deepest desires in people's hearts and poking at the most primitive desires of the human body! Along with the light came the little girl in the mural who was holding a flower and smiling, with her cherry lips about to move and her eyes about to burst into tears.

The girl was dressed in gauze, her skin was white and rosy, and the twigs were full of fruits, which gave off a fresh and moving fragrance. She laughed sweetly and threw herself into Tao Tie's arms. A pair of arms as white as lotus roots gently embraced Tao Tie's neck, and the legs jumped lightly and wrapped around Tao Tie's waist, tightly wrapped around him, leaving no gap at all. With both hands, he stroked Tao Tie's neck and then moved up to the back of his head. Then, he pressed hard, pressing Tao Tie's face towards the white and tender breasts. Give Tao Tie's face a fragrant bath. "Good brother..." The little girl lowered her eyebrows and head, put her red lips next to Tao Tie's ear, and murmured like a moan, "Love me!" boom! This groan, this murmur, was like a drop of water falling into a boiling oil pan, or like a spark falling into a bucket full of explosives. Tao Tie's desire instantly boiled and exploded! huh... huh... huh... His breathing became uncontrollably heavier, like an old cow panting, breathing heavily. His eyes suddenly turned blood red, like a hungry wolf ready to devour anyone. A lustful wolf! His instinct, his life light, his desire fire, his sin, his soul... Everything exploded at this moment! "Follow the various desires of all living beings and make them happy!" Monk Liansheng took the opportunity to visualize the Happy Buddha in his mind (mental secret), make the wisdom mudra with his hands (body secret), and recite mantras (verbal secret) to further stimulate Tao Tie's sexual desire. He wanted to make Tao Tie completely lose his composure in the midst of his exploding desire, and accept the invitation from the celestial being who was throwing herself into his arms, so that they could go to paradise together and share the joy. But Tao Tie rejected the goddess' invitation. "You...are...very...beautiful." With his head lowered, as if drowning in the fair and bouncy flesh, Tao Tie panted, clenched his teeth, guarded his heart, and whispered intermittently, "Just..." "don't want……" "think……" "have to……" "So... beautiful!" As soon as he finished saying the word "了", Tao Tie brazenly used his physical supernatural powers [Clairvoyance] and [Super Ear], and regardless of the possible damage to his eyes and ears, made himself blind and deaf. This blocks the senses of sight and hearing, forming a barrier. In an instant, the sweet and delicious little girl who was ready to be picked disappeared from Tao Tie's sight, and the heart-stirring and soul-stirring moans whispered in Tao Tie's ears were no longer heard. However, the fire of desire that has been ignited and exploded has not yet been extinguished and is still burning fiercely. It is still driving Tao Tie to follow in Tan Jinxuan's footsteps, to plunge into the murals, and to immerse himself in the spring dream of "The Land of Illusion". Tao Tie immediately used the characteristic of the Purifying Heart Mantra, [Purifying Heart], to suppress the fire of desire.

At the same time, in order to enhance the effect of [Purifying Heart], Tao Tie quickly recited the Purifying Heart Mantra: "Tai Shang Tai Xing, constantly adapting to changes. It drives away evil spirits and binds evil spirits, and protects life and body. Wisdom is clear, mind is peaceful. The three souls are eternal, the spirit is not lost. Urgency is like a law. " Tao Tie spoke very fluently and he repeated it three times in one breath. It is said in "Taishang Xuanmen Zaotan Gongke Jing": If one recites the sutra sincerely, then the sutra will be clear; if one practices it diligently, then the method will be verified. If the sutra is clear, then the Tao will be in harmony within; if the method is verified, then the technique will be manifested without. At this moment, Tao Tie could not be more pious to the "Purifying Heart Mantra" and could not be more devoted to it. With the blessing of reciting the "Purifying Heart Mantra" devoutly, the effect of the characteristic [Purifying Heart] is further manifested and the fire of desire is further suppressed. However, Tao Tie could still feel that he was still being seduced and tempted by the mural and the Flower-scattering Fairy who was holding a flower and smiling, with her cherry lips moving and her eyes about to sparkle. Deep in the heart, there is still lust and desire surging, longing for bliss and joy. Tao Tie put down the Heart Purifying Mantra without hesitation and began to recite the "Scripture of Purity and Tranquility" instead. Whether it is the advice of Master Huang or the fragments of information about the characteristic [Purifying Heart Mantra], they all indicate that "The Scripture of Purity and Tranquility" has a miraculous effect in "clearing the mind and eliminating desires". Reciting it can "prevent the six desires from arising and eliminate the three poisons", can obtain the transmission of the holy way, and can realize the true way by oneself. The six desires are the six senses. The six sense organs are eyes, ears, mouth, nose, heart and mind. Seeing with eyes and hearing with ears, knowing with mind and feeling with heart, and being influenced by the environment is called desire. Tao Tieni used his "Clairvoyance" and "Super Ear" to see but not hear, and naturally and unintentionally fitted in with the key to "getting rid of desires" in the "Classic of Purity and Tranquility". The three poisons are the three corpses. The upper corpse is Peng Ju, the middle corpse is Peng Zan, and the lower corpse is Peng Jiao. The upper corpse likes gorgeous ornaments, the middle corpse likes delicious food, and the lower corpse likes lust. If you do these three things, the poison can be eliminated. Once the three poisons are eliminated, your mind will be free and you will naturally be clear and peaceful. Tao Tie did not want to succumb to lust and restrain his lustful thoughts and desires, and inadvertently and naturally fit in with the key of "clearing the mind" in the "Classic of Purity and Tranquility". While reciting the sutra of "The Scripture of Purity and Tranquility", Tao Tie gradually felt that his body and mind were becoming extremely clear. Those murals, the flower-scattering goddess, the fire of desire, the bliss and joy are all false. Look inside your heart, there is no heart; look outside your body, there is no body; look at objects from afar, there are no objects. When you realize "all three", you will be able to "see only emptiness". One realizes that one is not attached to the "body", "mind", "external objects", the external Dharma realm, the internal primordial spirit, or the distant supernatural powers, and thus transcends the "ordinary" into the "holy", and even reaches the "true vacuum" state of "the holy that is unknowable is called God". Monk Liansheng, who was a little further away, keenly noticed Tao Tie's change, and an expression of infinite anger appeared on his face! "A blessing in disguise?" "Epiphany?" "How can you have a blessing in disguise?"

"How can you have an epiphany?" "You should indulge in lust! You should long for bliss! You should become my nourishment, help me to be reborn as a consort! Help me to attain bliss and become an arhat!" For some reason, Tao Tie's sudden enlightenment gave Monk Liansheng a great stimulus, causing the angry Monk Liansheng's face to suddenly become distorted and hideous, and he began to roar wildly. It's like a defeated dog howling. Everything in the world has many sides, and many secret methods can be used correctly when used properly, but can also be used incorrectly when used incorrectly. This mural depicts a goddess scattering flowers, so naturally she is scattering flowers and questioning the spiritual heart of the person viewing the painting. If flowers do not stick to your body, it means your heart of Taoism is pure and firm. If you pass the test, you will naturally gain something. If the flowers do not leave your body, it means that your heart is not pure and not strong. You will fall into confusion, lose your true self, and easily fall into depravity and sink. Tan Jinxuan received a flower, and took the initiative to let the flower stay with him, and took the initiative to let himself fall into a maze, losing his true self. It is to sink, driven by desire and confusion, into a spring dream that is far more real and delicate than the "Illusionary Realm" constructed by Qin Shousheng from the Hundred Beautiful Spring Palaces copied from the murals. In other words, sink into the real "Illusionary World" constructed by the murals! After all, Qin Shousheng, who copied the mural and painted "A Hundred Beauties in Spring Palace", was just a Confucian student who had entered the ninth rank but not yet reached the ninth rank. He had a low level of cultivation, and his painting skills were not very advanced. The "Illusionary Realm of Grand View" constructed by Baimei is a pirated version with extremely low resolution and poor image quality. Even so, the pirated "The Realm of Illusion" quietly deceived more than a dozen students and sucked away a lot of literary energy right under the nose of the county literature. After receiving the task commissioned by Tan Jinxuan and issued by the butler Fu Bo, the Demon Slaying Department and the Demon Extermination Department just regarded it as an ordinary nightmare accident and did not take it seriously. If it weren't for Tao Tie who had the ability of "knowing everything", it is very likely that Tan Jinxuan would have been defeated long ago. This time, Tan Jinxuan took the initiative to join the game. If he had nothing to rely on, and given his inability to free himself from the pirated and inferior-quality spring dreams, he would be sucked dry of all his spiritual energy, yang energy, and essence by the goddess as soon as he entered the authentic "Land of Illusion". There is no guarantee that he will end up like Qin Shousheng, exhausted and dead! Incompetent when alive, and cowardly when dead! So shameful! Tao Tie also received a flower, and the flower also didn't want to leave. But Tao Tie didn't want to be possessed by the flower and fall into a maze, causing him to lose his true self. This is how contradictions arise and struggles occur. After entering the gate of Wushan Temple, Tao Tie only used [Knowledge of All Things] to trigger the information fragments of buildings, objects, and old monks, and did not look at any of the murals in the temple. Not even a glance. Knowing clearly that this was the sequel to the incident, and knowing clearly that the was created by a county literary student named Qin Shousheng who copied the murals in Wushan Temple, Tao Tie would have to be insane to go and see the murals in the temple! It's not like he needs to redeem himself by doing meritorious service or saving his reputation, Tan Jinxuan! There is absolutely no need to put yourself in danger! Therefore, when he came to this side hall and before the mural of the goddess scattering flowers, although Tao Tie was forcibly included in the range of the goddess scattering flowers by Monk Liansheng, he had sufficient time and psychological preparation to avoid the invisible flowers scattered by the goddess. Based on many preparations and various abilities, Tao Tie was able to withstand the questioning of his heart. The sudden enlightenment about the "Classic of Purity and Tranquility" was the reward he deserved.

However, Monk Liansheng, who had also been questioned about his religious faith but was obviously unwilling to leave, the angry monk Liansheng, the jealous monk Liansheng, would sit back and watch Tao Tie enjoy the harvest? "impossible!" "Absolutely impossible!" Monk Liansheng, with a hideous face and looking like a demon, no longer had any of the solemn appearance of a great monk. He bared his fangs and roared, attacking Tao Tie who was in enlightenment. The five ghosts, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately took action. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Four talismans to ward off evil spirits were thrown out at high speed by the four ghosts named "Spring", "Summer", "Autumn" and "Winter". The yellow talisman flew so fast that even the air was cut by the thin talisman paper, producing a sharp sonic boom. Li Zeyuan used the evil-repelling talisman produced by the Demon Exorcism Bureau and gave it a thumbs up. As human puppets, Li Zeyuan could not withstand the burning of the evil-repelling talismans, and Monk Liansheng naturally could not withstand it either. He quickly dodged to avoid the four evil-repelling talismans that spontaneously combusted without wind. This dodge avoided the damage of the evil-repelling talisman, but also gave the five ghosts time. Under the command of the "middle" ghost, the five little ghosts joined forces to perform the Five Ghosts Moving Technique, and suddenly, they moved Tao Tie to the door of the side hall and occupied an advantageous position. Advance to attack, retreat to defend. This is the limit of what five little ghosts with newborn intelligence can do. However, although this move protected Tao Tie, it also caused Tao Tie's body to shake several times, disturbing him. It directly allows Tao Tie to exit the mysterious state of understanding what "body", "mind" and "external objects" are, and he will no longer be attached to them. Even the understanding of what is "body", "mind" and "external objects" disappears in an instant. It was like having a very wonderful dream. In the dream, I won the first prize in the lottery and became rich overnight. However, when I woke up, the room was empty. Tao Tie couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed, and then he became furious and violent. Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing his parents. This is an irreconcilable feud! And those who hinder others from achieving enlightenment are even worse; even being cut into pieces a thousand times would not be enough to vent their hatred! Tao Tie instinctively wanted to kill Monk Liansheng and to tear him into pieces to express his hatred for being blocked on his way. "Death to the bald donkey!" (End of this chapter)
