The river water rippled and glistened.
The boat sailed slowly on the river.
The boatman did not seem to be good with words. After boarding the boat, he did not say much and just rowed the boat obediently.
Fahai saw that he had no intention of making a move for the time being, so he was not in a hurry.
He took out a yellowed ancient book and started reading it.
This ancient book was called the Great Thousand World.
It wasn't a Buddhist scripture, nor was it a mystic art.
It was something that the senior of the Golden Mountain Monastery had recorded when he traveled the world.
It was Fahai's first time leaving the mountain, so he knew almost nothing about the outside world.
Reading the travel notes would help him understand this world.
According to the records of the Greater World.
This world was extremely vast.
Mount Meru suppressed the heavens and earth, and the boundless sea of bitterness filled the human world. There were four provinces in the sea of bitterness.
Dongsheng Shenzhou, west of Niuhezhou, south of Zhanbu, north of Julu.
It was just like the legends.
He was currently in the Great Tang Dynasty of the Eastern Victory Divine Continent.
It was similar to the Tang Dynasty in Earth's history.
The Great Tang was vast and ruled over hundreds of millions of people. It was the largest kingdom in the Divine Prefecture.
There were also many cultivation sects in the Divine Prefecture outside of the imperial court.
There were ten righteous sects, four Buddhist monasteries, seven demonic sects, and countless demonic itinerant cultivators.
Among these sects, there were also many sects that were familiar to him in the movies and television works of his previous life.
For example, the Mount Shu Sword Sect that wielded a flying sword!
Daoist Profound Heart Orthodox Sect!
The Yin Yue Empire of the Devil Dao!
The majestic Kunlun Mountains, Penglai of the East China Sea, and so on.
"What a glorious world!"
Fahai sighed inwardly.
This world was much more exciting than he had imagined.
If there was a chance, he would definitely take a good look.
As he pondered.
Fahai put away the Greater World. At this time, the boat had already sailed to the center of the river.
The boatman suddenly stopped the boat and said with a smile,"Monk, I won't charge you a single cent for carrying you across the river, but I have a request.”
Finally couldn't take it anymore?
Fahai smiled and raised his head. His smile was kind.
"What is it?"
"It's not a difficult thing. I was once enlightened by a Zen master. He said that as long as I help 10,000 people, I can live a long life. Monk, if it's convenient for you, please write your name on the canopy of my boat.”
The boatman pointed to the top of the boat.
Fahai looked up.
The so-called canopy was actually its turtle back.
There were already thousands of names written on it.
They all came from different people and carried different auras.
These names were like inscriptions that carried the aura of humans. They were imprinted on the Black Tortoise's back, which was equivalent to borrowing a trace of its essence energy to make the Black Tortoise become a spirit and transform into a human!
Borrowing human essence to cultivate into a demon?
Evil ways!
Fahai looked at the names and frowned. He said in a deep voice,""The boatman is indeed skilled. He doesn't accept money, but he wants to take people's essence. This business is really worth it. However, I'm afraid your turtle shell can't bear my name!”
"What?"
When the boatman heard this, his expression changed slightly.
" What nonsense are you talking about, monk?" he forced a smile." I just want you to write your name. What essence? What turtle shell? I don't understand…"
"Hmph, you still don't know how to repent even when you're about to die. Do you think that you can fool my eyes with your insignificant cultivation?”
Fahai snorted coldly.
He immediately floated up and stomped his foot.
"Vile creature, why aren't you revealing yourself?"
Buzz!
The dragon's roar shook the sky.
The waves surged into the sky!
The boat exploded with a bang.
The boatman's expression changed drastically, and he screamed repeatedly. He revealed his original form, and his huge body suddenly sank.
It was as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him.
The solid turtle shell seemed to be about to crack and shatter!
"Not good! This monk's magic power is too strong. Previously, he had restrained his divine arts. Now that he has released his power, I actually can't withstand it. He's like a Buddha!”
The Black Tortoise was shocked!
It had carried a few monks from the Golden Mountain Monastery before, but it had never encountered such a terrifying existence.
He was already like a true god in the human world.
With its insignificant cultivation, how could it dare to provoke him?
When he moved his limbs and retracted his head into the turtle shell, he wanted to dive into the river and escape.
"Where to?"
Fahai shook his head.
As he flipped his palm, the Buddhist light shone brightly.
His magic power condensed the river water and turned into a huge palm that actually captured the Black Tortoise, making it unable to move!
There was nowhere to run!
Black Tortoise panicked and shouted,""Venerable One, please spare me! Mage, spare me! I was really enlightened by a Buddhist Zen master. I just want to obtain the essence of others for cultivation. I don't have the intention of harming others!”
"Evil creature, a person's essence is the source of life. If you trick them into leaving their names, you can use magic to steal their essence. People whose essence was stolen would get sick or die. Do you dare to say that you never harmed anyone?”
Fahai's expression was cold.
Raising his hand, a palm print appeared and suppressed down.
The Black Tortoise looked miserable.
The other party's magic power was too strong. Even its Profound Heavenly Turtle Shell would definitely not be able to withstand the might of a palm.
If he was hit, he would definitely die.
"Venerable One, please be wise! The names on my back were left behind by the people who boarded the ship voluntarily. There was no coercion at all. And I will only borrow a bit of their essence, so it won't harm my body. Venerable One, you are very powerful. If I really harm people, who would dare to take my boat in this thousands of miles of Zhenjiang? The mages of the Golden Mountain Monastery would have killed me long ago! Venerable One, please be wise and spare my life!”
The Black Tortoise begged repeatedly.
Fahai stopped.
What the Black Tortoise said made sense.
After all, they were at the foot of the Golden Mountain Monastery. If there were demons causing trouble, it was impossible for the people of the Golden Mountain Monastery not to know.
Moreover, thousands of people had left their names on the Black Tortoise's back. If someone was really killed, it would be impossible to hide it.
From the looks of it, this Black Tortoise was not a ferocious demon.
To be honest, it was not too much to ask for a bit of popularity in return for carrying people across the river.
Thinking of this, Fahai's killing intent lessened slightly.
However, his eyes were still cold.
"Even if it's as you said, and you've never harmed anyone, as a demon, stealing people's essence for cultivation is a trick, no different from a demon. You still have the protection of Buddha nature and know the limits of good and evil, but if you continue like this, you will sooner or later lose yourself in power. At that time, you will have committed a great sin.”
As he spoke, Fahai waved his sleeves.
His Dharmic powers surged and erased all the names on the back of the black turtle.
At the same time, he formed a seal with one hand and a Buddhist light imprint condensed on his turtle shell.
