Chapter 461: Changing Boats

"say what?"

There was some blood from the monk on Meng Hui's face, which made him look quite ferocious.

But his eyes were confused, and he didn't seem to understand why Chu Qing asked this question.

Chu Qing looked back at the Tianfo Temple that had fallen into the endless abyss, and suddenly smiled:
"Just asking casually. Since Senior Brother Meng doesn't have anything to tell me, let's go."

"it is good."

Meng Hui carried Junior Sister Jiang's body and led the way.

Wu Qianhuan spoke through the sound of nature in her mind:
"You're doubting him."

"No."

Wu Qianhuan did not continue asking questions. This place did not give people a good feeling. Chu Qing overturned the Tianfo Temple, but the Buddha King did not show up to fight with Chu Qing.

Then everything that can be done here has been completed.

If nothing else, he could find a place to tear apart and crush the contents of the Earth Scroll of the Unchanging Heavenly Book, and try to practice it well.

Let Wenrou escape the life-and-death crisis as soon as possible.

This is the second time I have walked along this corridor, so I am naturally familiar with it.

Meng Hui seemed to be completely disheartened. He ignored everything around him and rushed all the way back to the entrance.

After opening the secret passage at the entrance, Meng Hui was the first to rush out.

He turned to go:
"I want to find a place to bury my junior sister."

"Wait a minute."

Chu Qing spoke again.

Meng Hui turned around, a hint of impatience already showing on his face:
"Junior brother, you want to..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his face changed drastically.

Chu Qing suddenly pushed out a palm. This palm came without any warning, but its power was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

Before the palm was fully extended, the wind lingering between the palms shattered the huge Buddha statues on both sides.

The palm was pushed forward, and wherever the force reached, the ground collapsed and all directions were destroyed.

Chu Qing's palm seemed to be due to some deep hatred towards Meng Hui, and he wanted to beat him to ashes.

Faced with such a palm force, Meng Hui was unable to block it and was powerless.

There was nothing he could do except watch.

Just when he thought he was doomed, the world before his eyes suddenly became bizarre.

The Wanfo Forest disappeared and became pitch black.

Chu Qing's palm, which was packed with tremendous force, seemed to break through some invisible barrier.

A violent roar came from his ears, but the next moment, an extremely horrified expression suddenly appeared on Meng Hui's face.

Scenes appeared before his eyes.

He saw himself leaving the Eastern Region with his fellow junior brothers and sisters, and heading to the Southern Region to look for fellow disciples of the Xuhuai Sect.

There were beautiful scenery along the way, but we were stuck in Tianfo Village.

In his trance, he regained consciousness and wanted to escape from here with his fellow junior brothers and sisters.

He saw that his junior sister was captured and his junior brother was beaten to death by the group of monks.

He was also taken away.

He was escorted by monks, walked along the wide, golden steps, and reached the highest point.

He saw the Buddha!
And then…he saw his own death.

"I am dead?"

Meng Hui asked himself in confusion.

He realized that the moment he saw the Buddha again, he was already dead.

But for some reason, he stood up again... as if he was still alive, able to think, move, and carve Buddha statues.

How could a dead person possibly do that?
So, either I am not dead, or... someone has taken over my body!
But when a person dies, it is like a light going out. How can a dead person think?
That means the person who is thinking now is not yourself.

"Then...who am I?"

A smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he clasped his hands together, turned his body, and was already in mid-air.

The golden light shines brightly and the Buddha's light shines everywhere.

The Buddha's image floated in the void and pressed down with one palm:
"Amitabha!!"

In the Forest of Ten Thousand Buddhas, Chu Qing suddenly raised his eyes, and Meng Hui's body shook slightly.

As their eyes met, even though they had done nothing, all the Buddha statues within a ten-foot radius were reduced to dust.

This scene was extremely abrupt.

At least in the eyes of Wu Qianhuan and others, this scene was too abrupt.

Walking out of the corridor, Meng Hui went first, followed by Chu Qing. When the others came out, they saw two people standing opposite each other. Suddenly, they looked at each other, and all the Buddha statues within a ten-foot radius around them were in trouble.

Wu Qianhuan immediately spoke through the sound of nature:
"And you say you don't doubt him?"

"No doubt, it's certain."

Chu Qing's answer was simple and direct.

Meng Hui suddenly sighed at this time:
"The Third Young Master is worthy of being the Third Young Master. Even I didn't notice it, so how did you find out?"

"Everything that passes by must leave traces."

Chu Qing chuckled:
“You shouldn’t have shown up in front of the Eighteen Garuda Guardian Array.

“At that time, I discovered that the scene you projected through the shadow transmission method eventually returned to the front of the mountain gate.

“And there… there was only Meng Hui.

“If the Buddha King were here, Meng Hui would definitely die.

“But Meng Hui is not dead!

"Although this guess sounds a bit bizarre...but the possibility that Meng Hui is the Buddha King is no longer zero."

"Isn't that too arbitrary?"

Meng Hui frowned:
"Just based on this fact, you acted rashly. It seems that you are really cruel and ruthless."

“It’s more than that.”

Chu Qing paced with his hands behind his back:

“I said before that some things were weird.

"I ask myself, I am not an ordinary person in your Tianxie Cult now.

“Since I have come to you, even if Your Majesty thinks highly of himself and does not think that a disaster is imminent, he will definitely not avoid seeing me.

“Unless, Your Majesty has some reason why he cannot see me.

“I went all the way deep into the Tianfo Temple, but you ignored me.

"I went on a killing spree and left no one alive in your Tianfo Temple, but you ignored me.

“I took away the [Unchangeable Heavenly Book] sent by Tianji Valley, but you still ignored it.

"Even if I threw the entire Tianfo Temple into the bottomless abyss, you would still remain silent.

"Does your Majesty think this is reasonable?

“To be honest, the most reasonable explanation is probably that the prince is not in Tianfo Temple.

"Just when I thought this was the truth, the Buddha King, who could have continued to play dumb, suddenly showed up in front of the Eighteen Garuda Guardian Array?

“I don’t think these eighteen people are important… Then, could it be that the prince did this on purpose?
"You want me to think that you are waiting for me in Tianfo Temple?
"It's a pity that the more you want me to know, the less likely it is to be true."

Meng Hui sighed:
"You are really smart, you are right, I really want you to think that I am waiting for you in Tianfo Temple.

"And if you go all the way to the end, you do see an 'I'."

"I see."

Chu Qing nodded suddenly:
"Then I will go through some twists and turns and kill you." You want me to think that you are in Tianfo Temple, or even that I have killed you.

"Naturally I won't doubt that you are still alive in this world.

"From now on, Lord Buddha will go from the light to the dark, and disappear from the world.

“But I don’t understand, how on earth did you do it?
"Why? Even though I thought of this possibility, I didn't dare to be sure that this guess was true until I forced you to show up.

"You actually took away Meng Hui's body?"

As soon as Chu Qing said this, Wu Qianhuan and the others all changed their expressions.

This was a possibility they had never thought of.

After all, how could someone take over someone else's body?

This is too unbelievable...

Even the well-informed shepherd boy was dumbfounded and felt unbelievable.

Wan Chunhua suddenly remembered that when he was in Wanbao Tower, he had seen Chu Qing standing side by side with the sun in the spiritual world.

I have also seen a Dharma image hidden in my spiritual world.

He was killed by Chu Qing with one sword...

But if Chu Qing had not destroyed the evil Buddha's Dharma image at that time, allowing it to exist in his spiritual world for a long time, what would have happened in the end?
Thinking of this, Wan Chunhua felt a sense of fear and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Have you ever heard of taking over a body?"

Meng Hui's expression was calm, and he was not hysterical towards Chu Qing. Even though Chu Qing had just killed so many people in Tianfo Temple and even pushed the entire Tianfo Temple into an abyss, he was still able to chat with him calmly.

Chu Qing nodded:
"But isn't this method a magical technique?"

“Immortal magic… For ordinary people, what’s the difference between a martial arts master’s lightness skill and flying on clouds?
“You have also dabbled in spiritual matters, and your attainments are not shallow, otherwise you wouldn’t have come here, and wouldn’t have entered my Tianfo Temple as if you were entering an empty place.

"So, you should understand what the word 'God' actually means.
“As the Buddha said, in this sea of ​​suffering, the body is the boat.

“The one who lives in the flesh is God!
"Which is more important, the boat or the god? The leather boat is not heavy enough. If it is damaged, you can change the boat and ride it.

"So, this martial art is called [Changing Boat Sutra]."

Meng Hui said softly:
"I am old and my boat is broken, so I have to change boats.

"Even if it's not Meng Hui, it will be someone else."

"The prince's methods are beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

Chu Qing couldn't help but sigh:
"At least I never doubted your identity before you showed up in the Eighteen Garuda Guardian Formation."

"That's because, at that time, I was just Meng Hui."

Meng Hui smiled:

"Third Young Master, I want to ask you...what do you think death is?"

"Losing everything and returning to darkness forever?"

Chu Qing tried to answer.

The Buddha shook his head:

"Death is unknown, and it is difficult for us to guess.

"But I know that as long as you have any memory left in this world, you are not dead.

“The present of man is made up of the past.

“The past cannot be erased, and the present cannot be changed.

“So, I think that to live is to carry the past and the present, and to rush towards the future involuntarily.

"If you still hold on to the past, even if the present is uncertain, you are still alive.

"Meng Hui was in this state... He forgot his death, but he remembered his past.

“And, he doesn’t have my memories.

"So the person who appeared in front of you at that time was actually Meng Hui."

Chu Qing frowned:

"After all this trouble, it seems that your [Switching Boat Sutra] is not omnipotent."

"Of course, the [Changing Boat Sutra] is not omnipotent, otherwise why would I waste my years in this Tianfo Temple?"

Meng Hui sighed softly:
"The leather boat has a very strong personal imprint. Unless the user gives it up himself, it is not easy to take over someone else's body.
“Even if you succeed, it will take a long time to adapt…to gradually change your perception.

“If it weren’t for the Third Young Master’s aggressiveness, it would have taken at least a long time for us to actually meet.

"Unfortunately, it's ahead of schedule now."

To others, the conversation between Chu Qing and Meng Hui seemed like a fairy tale.

They all knew that the martial arts of the Tianxie Cult were bizarre and mysterious, but to be so bizarre to this extent was truly unique.

Chu Qing paced back and forth and said softly:
"Your Highness doesn't seem to be acting on a whim."

"What aspect are you talking about?"

Meng Hui asked with a smile.

"The layout inside Tianfo Temple."

Chu Qing said softly:

"A fake Buddha King, a hearty massacre, and a seemingly flawless victory.

"You used the [Switch Boat Sutra] to seize Meng Hui's body. Was that intentional?"

"Some of this was intentional, and some was coincidence."

Meng Hui said with a smile:

“Meng Hui was a coincidence, and this matter started a long time ago.

"If there was a plot, it was the night you killed the hint in the Lone Whale Knife's spiritual world.

“I knew you would come.

"So, I'll be waiting for you here...

“Things were going smoothly.

“Shang Qiuyu’s daughter is here, and she is another important bargaining chip.

"You are here too, and just as I expected, you found the Tianfo Temple easily.

"Go in, kill, find what you want.

“It went very smoothly, everything went very smoothly.

"What a pity, I did so much unnecessary work, which led to you finding the flaw.

“As for the fact that Meng Hui and you are from the same school, this was beyond my expectation.

"The Third Young Master has been roaming the martial arts world without ever being defeated. Everyone wants to know where he came from, but no one has been able to find out. It turns out to be... the Xu Huai Sect?
"I don't know what virtue or ability this small sect has."

"you do not need to know."

Chu Qing spoke softly:
"Today's conversation has ended. Thank you, Your Majesty, for satisfying my curiosity..."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm too old and very bored, so I like to tell stories to young people."

When Meng Hui said this, he suddenly smiled:
“Old people not only like to tell stories to young people, but also like to perform magic tricks for them.

"Come, let me make one for you."

As he spoke these words, he stretched out his arms and there was a whooshing sound.

Pieces of robes suddenly flew out from behind him, covering the sky and the sun, endlessly. At this moment, the sky was covered by these robes.

What's more, Chu Qing and his group.

"The cassock demon-subduing skill?"

With a hissing sound, the sharp edge cut through the sky.

The entire world was split into two in an instant, and all the robes were shredded by the blade.

Chu Qing held the shark-slaying knife in his hand and looked up. He saw that the Buddha statues carved out of stone in the Ten Thousand Buddha Forest were actually swaying... and standing up!
