"I am Li Jing from the Heavenly Court. We are running out of time. There are some things that I need to tell you now." Jin Jiatian said slowly.

"Li Jing? Li Jing, King of Tota?" Shen Luo's expression changed slightly when he heard the words. Although he had guessed before, when he actually got the answer from his mouth, he was still extremely shocked.

"Don't be surprised. The 36 Tiangang soldiers who fought with you before are my subordinates. To be precise, they are the wisps of spirit left behind by them. Their real bodies have all been fought in the great battle that led to the destruction of the heavenly court. I'm dead." Li Jing said slowly with a desolate tone.

After finishing speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out, a golden light flew out of his mouth, and turned into a golden book in mid-air.

Seeing that he took out the golden book again, Shen Luo recalled the scene of being bound by the golden light released from the book, and subconsciously took a step back.

"You don't have to be nervous, this book is a fetish used by the heavenly court to suppress the fate of the heavens. All the gods who entered the heavenly court and granted the heavenly talisman had to seal a ray of soul in this book. I fought against you earlier. All the heavenly soldiers and generals are the remaining spirits released from it." Li Jing said upon seeing this.

"In this way, wouldn't it be possible to call out the remnants of all the gods in heaven from this book?" Shen Luo asked in disbelief.

"You guessed part of it right. The heavenly book in my hand is just a fragment, which only occupies a small part of the original heavenly book, so there is only a small part of the spirits contained in it. But as long as you want, you can You can summon them. As long as you can defeat them, you can absorb the remaining power of their spirits and gain great benefits from it." Li Jing shook his head and explained.

"Since it's a fetish that suppresses fate, how come there are only a small number of fragments left?" Shen Luo frowned, noticing this, and asked immediately.

"This... I don't know either. I'm just a remnant soul, and the memories I have are incomplete. I don't have any relevant memories in my mind of how this heavenly book was broken, or even how it fell into my hands. And suppressed in my tower, I don't remember at all." Li Jing continued.

"Then you brought me into this golden palace and forced me to fight the spirits of all the heavenly soldiers and generals, you should know why?" Shen Luo continued to ask, doubtful.

Hearing this, Li Jing frowned on his golden face, as if he was trying to remember something.

"About this matter, I also have no memory. I only remember that I seem to have a mission. I am waiting for someone to come here, and then I have to do it." After a while, Li Jing still shook his head and said.

"The person you are waiting for is me?" Shen Luo asked.

"In the beginning, I wasn't sure, after all, your cultivation base is too low. However, you can defeat so many heavenly soldiers and generals one after another, and advance to the rank of true immortal in such a short period of time. I began to believe that you are qualified to be my The person to wait for." Li Jing replied calmly.

Hearing this, Shen Luo couldn't help but feel ashamed.

If he hadn't been in the dream of traveling through the jade pillow, how could he have defeated all the heavenly soldiers and generals, and he might have died countless times in the middle.

Chapter 0563: Lingshan Project

"Senior, what happened back then?" Shen Luo pondered for a long time before asking.

"What are you referring to? Is it the outbreak of a demon disaster, or the destruction of the heavenly court... In the final analysis, this is just one thing at all." Li Jing paused for a moment before speaking halfway, and said with a wry smile.

"Then please senior tell me the specific situation of the evil disaster." Shen Luo frowned and said.

Regarding the evil disaster, what he knows now is very limited, and most of it is the legend that has not yet come true in reality. If he can really know the details of the evil disaster in advance, maybe after returning to reality, he will have May block.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Luo himself believed that he was the one waiting for the soul of King Tota.

"My memory is incomplete, so I can only tell you some things I know. As for the truth behind it, you need to explore and piece it together yourself." Li Jing pondered for a while, and said.

"Senior, it's okay to say." Shen Luo hurriedly said.

"In ancient times, a great war that swept across the Three Realms came to an end. Chi You, the lord of the demon clan, was defeated. His head was cut off, his limbs were cut off, and the demon soul was sealed. He never dies, and there are even some demons who try to break the seal and lead Chi You back to the world." Li Jing said.

Shen Luo knew some of these things, but he didn't interrupt Li Jing and let him continue talking.

"Later, the heavens and the earth began to change, the earth's veins were no longer stable, evil spirits appeared everywhere in the world, and the chaos in the Three Realms began. Whether it was the gods and Buddhas of the heavens or the powerful men of the earth, they all sensed that the wind and rain were coming. The demon clan should also be resolved from the demon clan, so the Jade Emperor and the Buddha Tathagata of the Western Paradise joined forces to formulate a plan for Lingshan." Li Jing continued.

"Spirit Mountain Project?" Shen Luo was greatly puzzled.

"You must know about the Lingshan project back then, but it has to be called 'Learning from the Western Paradise'." Seeing Shen Luo's expression changed, Li Jing said with his eyes slightly lowered.

"What? The fact that Master Xuanzang traveled thousands of miles west to learn Buddhist scriptures is the Lingshan Project?" Shen Luo's expression changed suddenly, and he asked in surprise.

This matter has been widely circulated among the people, and some people have even written this legendary experience into a storybook novel, so the story of Shen Luo's five masters and apprentices going through hardships and seeking the truth is no stranger.

It’s just that for some reason, when the five masters and apprentices returned to Chang’an, they only held an unprecedentedly large water and land meeting in the Daci’en Temple in the city. Then Master Sanzang announced that he would enter the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to translate scriptures. show up.

According to the rumors, his three disciples with great supernatural powers also disappeared and were no longer known to the world, so that many people later regarded that epic experience as a fiction written by literati. How much of it is true? The ingredients are up for debate.

"It's normal that you don't know this. The Lingshan Project back then was a secret of the heavens from the beginning of its formulation. There are very few people who know the inside story, including the Jade Emperor, the Buddha, the Supreme Lord, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Including Maitreya Buddha and Patriarch Bodhi, there are no more than ten people in total. Even the five masters and disciples themselves didn't know about it at the very beginning." Li Jing continued.

"Since it's so secretive, could it be that the real purpose of their group is not to seek the truth?" Shen Luo frowned.

"It can only be said that it is not entirely true. After all, in the territory of the Tang Dynasty at that time, the evil spirits became more and more serious, and the morals of the world were gradually deteriorating. People need Mahayana Buddhism. And, a change in the state of mind of a person is the fate of heaven. If the general trend is good, the turbidity of the world will be eliminated, and the catastrophe will be invisible." Li Jing shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Shen Luo secretly sighed in his heart. In the time he lived, Mahayana Buddhism had been spread in the Tang Dynasty, Buddhist monasteries were built one after another, and monks preaching the Dharma were also walking and preaching in the world. Still getting worse.

"Relying on the teachings of Buddhism... Don't talk about how much time it will take, but how difficult it is for the world to learn the Dharma and worship the Buddha?" He couldn't help but said.

"So, this is only a part of Lingshan's plan. As for the other part, it is to let out rumors that eating the meat of Tang Sanzang can seize longevity and cultivate supreme mana. Use this as bait to lure those sneaky people who lurk in secret The monsters, so as to wipe them all out and cut off the risk of Yingjie." Li Jing continued.

"It's a good method, not to mention how many big monsters who can't hide from the world were lured and finally killed one by one. The fact that Monkey King, the generation of monster kings, were brought back to Buddhism is already a beautiful move." Shen Luo couldn't help admiring.

"It's not as simple as you see. Fighting and defeating the Buddha was originally formed by the five-colored god stone left by Nuwa's refining stones to mend the sky. It is not a monster race in the true sense." Li Jing shook his head and said.

"Could it be that Sun Wukong was originally arranged by the heavens?" Shen Luo vaguely guessed something.

"Otherwise, how could he be favored by the Bodhi Patriarch and personally teach the transformation of Xuangong? Do you think that Tang Sanzang is the only one who learns the scriptures? In fact, it is not the case. Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng, Sha Wujing and Bai Longma are all learners , every birth is an arrangement made by Heavenly Court and Lingshan." Li Jing said with a smile.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Shen Luo's mind, recalling all the trials and tribulations on the legendary journey to learn Buddhist scriptures, and doubts arose in his heart:

"However, many of the monsters they encountered on the way of master and apprentice learning were all transformed by the mounts of gods and Buddhas. Why is this?"

"While Tianting and Lingshan used the scriptures to attract demons to stop and kill them, it also divided them to a certain extent. Why didn't the demons have methods against Tianting and Lingshan? They are also actively bewitching the heavenly immortals and Western Heaven Buddhas. Many The people who are not strong in Dao, those who are dissatisfied with the principles of the Dao of Heaven, also revealed their true colors at this time." Li Jing explained.

"So that's it. Such a method is already quite powerful, but why did it fail in the end?" Shen Luo suddenly realized, and asked in confusion.

"This...I'm afraid no one can make it clear. I can only say that there are days in the dark. Six or seven years after Tang Monk and his disciples returned from learning the scriptures, including Zhen Yuanzi and Bodhi Patriarch, they all discovered the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures. It failed to save the world, and the turbid qi between heaven and earth still hasn't changed, and the Lingshan project has failed. At this time, another incident happened, and the situation became even worse." Li Jing sighed leisurely, Said.

"What happened?" Hearing what he said, Shen Luo's spirit became tense.

Chapter 0564 Five Remnant Souls

"An accident resulted in the shattering of one of the treasures, the 'Shanhe Sheji Map'. After Tang Sanzang died for some reason, he fell into reincarnation and was reincarnated. His disciples also reincarnated away with the fragments of the Shanhe Sheji Map. After the absence of these five destiny learners, the situation of fighting against evil disasters has become even more dire, and eventually evolved into the current situation." Li Jing said.

Shen Luo heard the words, thought for a long time, and asked:

"When, where, and how the evil disaster broke out, you should remember all of these, right?"

"I don't remember the details of the outbreak of the evil disaster, the process of the fall of the heavens, and the death of the immortals and Buddhas. I don't even remember who killed me." Li Jing shook his head. , said.

"In that case, senior, you are important, and you haven't remembered any of them?" Shen Luo said speechlessly.

"No, I always remember the most important thing." Li Jing retorted immediately.

"What's the matter?" Shen Luo's expression changed slightly, and he asked hurriedly.

"The reason why the Lingshan project failed back then was because Chi You, who was in the seal, had secretly separated five remnant souls from the seal before the outbreak of the evil disaster, and they were all reincarnated at the same time, becoming the victims of the outbreak of the evil disaster in the future." The fuse." Li Jing said, frowning.

"When did these five remnant souls reincarnate?" Shen Luo asked after pondering for a long time.

This question is very important. If the reincarnation time of the five remnant souls is before the time he is in this world, then after returning, he only needs to inform the Tang government about this in advance, and ask them to contact the heavenly court to strengthen the seal together. Preventing the reincarnation of the remnant soul can prevent the disaster from coming.

"Heavenly Court still doesn't know how his remnant soul split out, and how he escaped from the sealed place, and all the specific escape time can't be determined. However, according to after-the-fact analysis, it is very likely that he was reincarnated with five destiny learners The same time." Li Jing's answer immediately chilled Shen Luo's heart.

In the real time he was in, nearly a hundred years had passed since Tang Sanzang and others were reincarnated, which meant that Chi You's five souls had already been reincarnated.

"Senior, do you know who those five remnant souls were reincarnated for?" Shen Luo immediately asked again.

He knew in his heart that if he could know their identities and kill them in advance, he would be able to prevent the catastrophe from coming.

Hearing this, Li Jing frowned deeply, as if he was trying to remember something.

After a long time, he said: "There are only two clues that I can think of, and they belong to two of them. One seems to be reincarnated in Chang'an City, and the other... seems to be reincarnated in the Western Regions."

"What are their names and who are they?" Shen Luo was overjoyed and asked immediately.

"I only vaguely remember that the person in Chang'an City...was a woman with a plum blossom mark on her wrist, while the person from the Western Regions seemed to be a monk," Li Jing said.

"That's all? Don't you even know their names?" Shen Luo asked.

"As I said, my remnant soul has a lack of memory, and it is impossible to remember all the details. Moreover, the five reincarnated remnant souls did not have Chi You's memory before awakening, and they themselves did not know who they were. Only when they wake up will they see their true selves, and then complete their mission. Therefore, no one will notice them until they do something abnormal, so there is not much news about them." Li Jing said.

Shen Luo sighed inwardly when he heard the words, a huge city of Chang'an has a population of more than ten million?How easy is it to find a person with a five-petal plum blossom mark on his wrist in this vast crowd?

The Western Regions are thousands of miles away. Although the population is not as large as that of Chang'an, the area is almost boundless. It is not easy to find a monk in this vast area.

"About Chi You's news, you can go to East Sea Dragon Palace to find Dragon King Ao Guang. If he is not dead, he may be able to tell you something." Seeing Shen Luo lost in thought, Li Jing reminded him as if he remembered something.

Shen Luo felt depressed. Ao Hong had already said that the Dragon Palace was breached by monsters, so he wondered if he could still see the old Dragon King?

At this moment, Li Jing's expression suddenly changed. He chanted a few times, pinched a formula with one hand, and pointed towards the air, a golden radiance shot out from his hand immediately , hitting the golden book hanging in the air.

The golden book trembled violently, and the surface shone with dazzling golden light, turning into a huge golden projection tens of feet in size, on which densely appeared the names of people written in ancient seal characters.

The names of these people are distorted, like living creatures, and there are bursts of strong mana fluctuations coming from inside.

While Shen Luo was astonished, a golden beam of light suddenly refracted from the golden heavenly book, projecting down like a piece of light, covering him in it.

The moment the golden light fell on his body, Shen Luo only felt his whole body go numb, as if the back of his head had been hit by a blunt object, and he felt a sense of dullness.

The next moment, there was an extremely sharp and violent sound in his mind.

"what……"

Shen Luo only felt a sharp pain coming from his soul, as if his whole body was about to be torn apart, he couldn't help but hugged his head and let out a heart-piercing wail.

All along, Shen Luo had experienced all kinds of pain, and he thought that he had a good tolerance for pain, but the pain like today, he felt unprecedentedly unbearable.

Fortunately, this pain only lasted for a few breaths before disappearing.

Shen Luo slowly put down his hands, and when he raised his head, he saw a little spiritual light slowly flying out from between his brows, turning into a phantom in the shape of a human exactly like himself, flying towards the sky.

The moment the phantom left, Shen Luo felt that part of his soul had been separated, but that feeling was very subtle, and there was still a faint connection between them.

"Senior, what are you doing?" Shen Luo asked.

Li Jing's expression remained unchanged, he turned a deaf ear to Shen Luo's question, and just continued to pinch the formula with his hands, hitting the golden book.

I saw the phantom of Shen Luo's human figure flying into the sky, flying into the projection of the golden heaven book in the sky, and under the flash of golden light, it condensed into two big ancient seal characters: "Shen Luo".

Once the words were completed, the light on the golden heavenly book began to gradually fade away, and after a while, it returned to its original state.

Li Jing raised his hand and made a move, the golden book of heaven immediately flew back docilely and landed in his hand.

"Although I can't grant you the celestial talisman, your soul has already merged into the heavenly book, and you have temporarily become the master of this heavenly book. However, if you want to completely control the heavenly book, you still need to find a few other fragments of the heavenly book. Yes." Li Jing said.

Hearing this, Shen Luo didn't feel happy, but rather worried.

Chapter 0565

"Senior, what's the use of controlling this book?" Shen Luo asked after pondering for a while.

"Almost all the gods and spirits of the gods are stored in the book of heaven. As long as they haven't died in battle, you can summon them with their souls to help you fight the enemy. You can give it a try." There was some encouragement in Li Jing's words.

Hearing this, Shen Luo frowned slightly. Isn't this the same as the contract summoning talisman of the underworld?

He raised his hand, and the golden book of heaven flew back from Li Jing's hand and hovered in front of him.

With a thought in his mind, Shen Luo raised his hand to stroke the surface of the book.

The celestial book was brightly illuminated, and a rich golden light rose from it, and the names of ancient seal characters appeared in it.

Shen Luo closed his eyes, and a ray of divine thought was projected into it, and he began to use the power of the divine soul to sense the immortal souls in the heavenly book.

Under this induction, Shen Luo found that there were still many soul reactions in the heavenly book. It can be seen that there are still some immortals who have not fallen. Try to summon it to show up.

However, when he activated the power of his soul, the sub-soul did not respond at all, it just flickered for a while, and then immediately returned to its original appearance.

With a thought in mind, Shen Luo immediately tried to communicate with another soul, but it still failed.

"Senior, but what is the secret of this summoning method, you haven't told me yet? Why have I tried many times, but all failed." After trying several times in succession, he slowly opened his eyes and said.

"The method of communication in Tianshu depends entirely on the spirit and soul, and I have no reservations. In the current situation, it may be that when the Tianshu splits, the restraint on the heavenly immortals will be greatly reduced. The connection was completely severed by someone taking the opportunity." Li Jing said after pondering for a while.

"If that's the case, isn't this heavenly book already reduced to a worthless thing?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.

"This is just a guess. It is also possible that these heavenly soldiers and generals were seriously injured in the previous battle and chose to seal themselves as a last resort. In this case, the heavenly book cannot summon them." Li Jing continued.

Hearing this, Shen Luo raised his brows suddenly, and a question arose in his heart:

"Senior, since the book has been split into several parts, it doesn't mean that there are other people who hold the book. In this way, if someone else is also summoning the heavenly soldiers and generals in the book, what will happen? ?”

"This is the third possibility I want to talk about. Others have obtained other parts of the heavenly book before you, and use the power of the heavenly book to preemptively control this part of the heavenly soldiers and generals. In this way, you will naturally I can no longer summon them." Li Jing nodded with a flash of approval in his eyes.

"Understood." Shen Luo heard the words, nodded and said.

"You put away this heavenly book, and find a way to collect all the heavenly books in the future, and fully control its power. At that time, even if you encounter a big demon troll at the level of Taiyi Zhenxian, you will be able to resist." Li Jing's eyes fell on Shen Luo, and he said slowly.

It looks like the elders are instructing the younger generation in the family, which is not only an entrustment, but also a inheritance.

"Senior helped me to cultivate, and passed on the book of heaven to me. I hope that the junior will show me the way in the future." With a wave of Shen Luo's hand, the book of heaven flew back and landed between his eyebrows. out of sight.

"The unknown days have guided you to come to me, and will guide you on that road in the future. I have nothing to point out here." Li Jing said.
