Devour

Chapter 285 Yin Yang Treasure House

Li Tong said, "There is something strange about this mural. The Great Emperor in the painting is referring to the Immovable Buddha, and as for his disciple... Although I don't have much information, it must be the White Lotus Venerable who was almost regarded as the future Venerable."

Cheng Bai looked at it carefully and said, "According to the description in the mural, the three great Buddhas of the past, present and future are about to be complete. This has once again attracted the attention of the immortal world, and the Venus envoy from the Heavenly Palace has come to visit again."

However, Acalanatha also rejected the good proposal of Heaven, and the envoy of Venus left in disappointment.

Cheng Bai looked at the next mural for a while before saying, "The sixth one actually continues the characters of the previous one. It's very story-telling. Even the emperor doesn't get such a high treatment."

In the picture, Venerable Bai Lian, who is highly valued by the emperor, meets the love of his life.

A beautiful woman got lost in the wilderness. As night fell, she knocked on the door of the White Lotus Master's residence, hoping to stay there for the night.

Venerable Bai Lian opened the door and saw the pitiful woman. He felt pity for her and agreed to let her stay in his mansion for a while. As time went by, the woman did not leave. Instead, she fell in love with him and became his partner.

The Venus envoy visited again and gave the knowledge and technology of the fairy world to the beautiful woman, who then passed it on to the White Lotus Venerable. He didn't know it was a gift from the fairy world, and he was very interested in it and studied it diligently with the woman. Since then, one ladder after another has sprung up and gradually covered all the heavens and myriad realms.

Until the emperor discovered that a new sect had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and was constantly expanding with the help of the Ladder of All Things, which went against the power of faith, only believing in itself and not others, and even encouraging others to question the source of faith.

No different from the devil!

The emperor was furious and investigated the matter thoroughly, and finally traced it back to Venerable Bai Lian. When many fellow disciples in the sect learned about it, they came in groups to accuse and question him.

Facing the criticism from everyone, Venerable Bai Lian was in a dilemma. On one hand, he had received a great deal of gratitude from his master for his years of practice, and on the other hand, he had deep feelings for his lover. After making a choice between the two, he actually left the sect and returned to secular life, devoting himself to protecting the sect founded by the beautiful woman.

This caused an uproar within the Great Emperor's sect, and since then the master and disciple have become enemies and have no further contact with each other.

Cheng Bai spent the longest time viewing this mural and could not help but say, "Isn't it good for a disciple to have a wife and start a family? How big of a grudge is that? The Immovable Buddha did not practice well enough and has become confused. Not only is his Nirvana flawed, I'm afraid he has not even achieved perfection in the five mystical realms of nothingness."

Li Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Venerable Bai Lian chose love, but caused the Buddha's teaching to lose its future. The Buddha did not move and simply gave up this disciple. This can be regarded as the mentality of a saint."

Bei Tingjun secretly stared at Li Tong with a suspicious look on his face. Hearing this, he smiled awkwardly and said, "It's hard to understand how they feel without standing in their shoes. If it was my disciple who disappointed me so much, he might even chase me to the ends of the earth."

Cheng Bai shook his head and said, "What if you were this disciple's wife?"

Bei Tingjun was stunned and said, "Then I will part ways with him."

Cheng Bai and Li Tong sighed at the same time.

Finally I saw the last mural.

This mural is very strange. There are no figures, only countless ladders of all things surrounding the heavens, as if pointing to the largest ladder of all things. It is as high as a pillar of heaven, as immovable as a mountain, standing above the nine heavens forever.

Cheng Bai was stunned for a while, and suddenly asked: "Was the chicken first and then the egg, or was the egg first and then the chicken?"

Beitingjun was puzzled and looked at the stone wall carefully. He asked, "Is there a chicken or an egg on it? Why can't I see any?"

Li Tong said: "He wants to know whether Venerable Bai Lian built the Ladder of All Things first, or whether the Ladder of All Things existed before."

Bei Tingjun said: "According to the sixth mural, it was the Ladder of All Things built by Venerable White Lotus that spread across the starry sea... No, perhaps it spread across the entire universe, so Venerable White Lotus should be the first."

Cheng Bai shook his head and said, "If the Ladder of All Things had not existed in the Immortal Realm a long time ago, how could the Venus Envoy have passed it on to Venerable Bai Lian through that woman? It was just that she helped spread the number of them... So does that mean the sect she founded is the Non-Heaven Sect?"

Bei Tingjun came to his senses: "That is, the Ladder of All Things came first, and then the Venerable White Lotus came into being."

Cheng Bai stared at the Ladder of All Things in the mural, which stood above the nine heavens and was as majestic as a pillar of heaven. He wondered, "The Ladder of All Things was spread by the Feitian Sect, so why don't we have control over it? Why did Bo Xuan suddenly want to borrow the Ladder of All Things? What did he discover?"

Li Tong asked hurriedly: "Did you find anything interesting?"

Cheng Bai used his spiritual eyes to observe the stone wall for a moment, then reached out and touched the largest ladder of all things on the mural. He pushed it gently, and the heavy and long sound of the golden and stone door opening echoed in the treasure house hall.

Beitingjun looked around and asked in surprise, "Which door is open?"

"We can go through the door on the mural. Both our body and our spiritual consciousness can pass through it. The stone wall is just an illusion." After saying this, Cheng Bai led the way and entered through the wall.

Passing through the secret door in the mural and walking out of another almost identical mural, in front of him was a treasure room palace that was almost identical to the previous one.

The materials, structure and murals are exactly the same. The only difference is that there are neatly stacked blue gold ingots in the center of the hall, with the number reaching three million kilograms!

Each ingot of the divine ice iron is only as thick as a finger, and when piled up they are only one person tall, but they are extremely heavy and emit a faint chill.

"This is the real treasure! There is no problem at all." Cheng Bai was overjoyed after inspecting it. He raised the Shengjin Pagoda, spun it in the air, and took away all the blue gold ingots.

Bei Tingjun smiled and said, "Little did you know that the yin and yang treasure house is one bright and one dark, one fake and one real. If Your Majesty was not smart and wise, you would have been deceived."

Cheng Bai said: "We have succeeded in stealing the treasure. Go out and inform Zhai Xufei and the others to retreat."

……

Zhai Xufei, who was sitting with his legs crossed in the Golden Silk Imperial Wood Hall, jumped up and whispered, "We received a letter from His Majesty, informing us to meet at the city gate before leaving."

Hei Long glanced at the half-burnt incense stick and said with delight, "You're fast enough. Let me break through the door."

Just as he was about to spit out the wind of withering, a dull roar suddenly came, shaking the hall slightly. A wall shattered with a loud bang, accompanied by the splashing of brick and wood debris, and a figure flew out, somersaulting several times to avoid the pillars, beams, tables and chairs.

"Where has the real Prince Youling gone?" Yin Mei's furious scream came from behind the hole in the wall. "You ugly old man, you dare to use illusion to impersonate my Prince Youling and deceive me with your peerless beauty and pure feelings. You deserve to die!"

The disheveled figure turned out to be Wu Qiubai, the Grand Tutor of the Di Yan Dynasty.

He stood firm, wiped the clear red lipstick marks on his face, and said with a shameless face: "My master is of such status, how could he look down on an old woman? It's only because I am kind-hearted that I can't bear to refuse Lord Yin's kindness, so I made the sacrifice reluctantly."

Yin Mei could no longer bear it, so she stretched out her jade hand and pulled out a cold and chilling curved knife from under her armor and skirt. The blade was crystal clear like a crescent moon, so it was named "Han Yue".

She gnashed her teeth and said in a cold voice: "I will chop you into human pigs and throw you into the underground palace to accompany you with feces for the rest of your life."

Wu Qiubai saw that the Ice Demon was going to make a serious move, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "Come and have a look! This old shrew failed to hunt for a beauty, so she decided to kill! Dear friends who are brave enough to do good, those who have a grudge against her can help her make a personal connection, and those who don't have a grudge can help someone who is on good terms with them, let's work together to get rid of her as soon as possible!"

As he spoke, he quickly pulled out a Double Dragon Soul-Severing Spear from the Kunzai Ring he was wearing. The weapon had a unique shape, with a spear head at each end, and it danced like a flying dragon.

Seeing that he dared to call for help, Yin Mei shouted angrily: "If you want to die, just come! I will eat them all today, young and old, beautiful and ugly." With a flash of cold light in her hand, she chopped towards Wu Qiubai's head viciously.

Zhai Xufei, Gou Yifan and others were unwilling to get involved in the dispute, so they avoided the fight and retreated towards the palace gate.

The black dragonfly opened its mouth and blew, and the wind of withering spread everywhere. The golden royal wood door, which was tougher than iron, quickly withered and cracked, and the defensive magic circle was damaged but did not collapse for the time being.

"This door is big and strong enough, I'll come too." The Smoker used the secret technique of Fire Cloud Claw, and the raging flames condensed into claws and grabbed fiercely. With a loud "bang", sparks flew, and the dry and thick door was torn into pieces.

Amidst the flying debris, Gou Yifan took the lead and rushed out of the palace. He ran down the stairs outside the palace for more than ten steps and suddenly stopped.
