Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 192 191, The real person's face!The spider mother is coming!

Shen Lang pondered and said:
"Half detachment? Master Yan means that the way of the western gods is too dependent on the world, so it is not really detachment?"

Yan Tianying said:

"It's not just that it's not really detached.

"The way of the western gods can achieve longevity and is powerful, but their foundation is rooted in the secular world, which makes them have huge flaws in this world.

"If I want to deal with a certain god, I don't even need to take action against the god. I just need to kill a large number of its believers and destroy its church, and the god will be degraded or even perish. And the Eastern Earth Immortal, there is no such thing. flaw.

"However, although the gods in the east have no flaws, they seem to be restricted by the laws of heaven and earth that are more stringent than the gods in the west... In short, I really don't know the specific situation of the gods. I only know that even if the world is in chaos and the demons are dancing around, Earth Immortal may not be able to save the world."

Shen Lang frowned and said:
"In this way, the Eastern Land Immortals are at ease, but in terms of protecting the mortal world, aren't they even inferior to the Western gods? At least even if the Western Gods cannot descend to the mortal world in person, they can still issue oracles in the face of catastrophe , interfere with the secular world, and organize believers to save themselves..."

Yan Tianying sighed lightly:
"This is what you gain and what you lose.

"Western gods are too deeply involved with the secular world, and most of the interests are on the secular believers. For their own interests and even survival, they must maintain the secular world.

"But the Eastern Earth Immortals have no such involvement, so naturally they don't need to bear the responsibility. Of course, whether the Earth Immortals are 'unwilling', or are too restricted, so that they 'can't' interfere with the secular world, this is beyond us mortals' ability to speculate It's gone."

After a pause, Yan Tianying smiled again and said:

"Let's not talk about it, let's talk about something interesting.

"Xiao Shen, do you know that besides the danger, there are many benefits in the Yunding Demon Palace.

"There are all kinds of treasures from heaven and earth, spiritual iron and gold, and even panacea and magical weapons that come from nowhere. There are even various martial arts secret books and Taoist secret books. Of course, not everyone enjoys these benefits. peekable.

"In the magic palace, there are a large number of demon guards. Those demons are not projected incarnations like the spider mother, but real entities. Although they are not too strong and cannot escape the seal, they have super pollution 'ability.

"Those who are above the third rank can barely resist pollution. Those who are below the third rank, even if they only stay on the first floor of the Demon Palace for a while and breathe in the dissipated demonic energy, they will be corroded by the pollution and degenerate into demons.

"And even third-rank and second-rank warriors and monks who can barely resist pollution, if they stay in the magic palace for too long, or are injured by demons, and accumulate too much and too deep pollution, mutations will occur. , and fell into a demon.

"In other words, on the first floor of the Yunding Demon Palace, many of the physical demons guarding the treasures may have been transformed by fallen demons from ancient warriors and monks who broke into the Demon Palace in the past and tried to find treasures."

Shen Lang smiled and said:

"Master Yan, what do you mean, if I cultivate to the first rank in the future and strengthen the seal with you, I will have a chance to get those treasures?"

Yan Tianying laughed and said:
"There is no need to wait for the first rank. When you reach the third rank, I will take you to the entrance of the Demon Palace to experience it and open your eyes."

Knowing that he was motivating himself, Shen Lang nodded in response:

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely make great efforts to reach the third rank as soon as possible."

Just as he was speaking, a strong wave suddenly spread out from the small temple and washed over Shen Lang and Yan Tianying.

When this invisible wave washed his body, Shen Lang felt as if his whole body was electrified, and every hair on his body stood on end.

He turned his head abruptly, looked into the temple, and saw a stream of crystal light shining with the luster of glass, escaping from the gaps in the doors and windows of the small temple, and there were strands of tiny electric arcs, swimming on the metal parts of the doors and windows .

"The exorcism has begun."

Yan Tianying put his hands behind his back and said lightly:

"Using Venerable Liuli's method and Yuzhen's assistance, in the Zen court that Venerable Liuli has managed for many years, we should be able to successfully wash away the brand of the spider mother's primordial spirit..."

Just as he was speaking, the sky above the small temple dimmed suddenly, the afterglow of the setting sun disappeared in an instant, and the night was pitch black, as if it had turned into night in the blink of an eye.

But what is strange is that only a small piece of sky above the small temple has turned into a "night curtain", and the rest of the place is still a scene of dusk.

Just as I was amazed, a huge translucent spider web suddenly emerged from the "night curtain".

The spider web hangs in the sky, giving people the feeling of "a net that covers everything and has nowhere to escape".

After the translucent spider web emerged, four eyes in two rows slowly opened.

Of the four eyes, the upper two pupils are blood red, as if a sea of ​​blood has condensed, and the lower two pupils are dark black, as if leading to a bottomless abyss.

Just as the four eyes behind the spider web slowly opened.

Shen Lang suddenly shuddered for a while, his eyebrows twitched violently, and he suddenly had a spiritual warning of being stared at by some invisible terror.

It felt like an indestructible invisible sky knife hung above his head, following him like a shadow, and might fall down at any time, splitting himself in half from head to toe.

Just when he was startled.

A crystal light curtain suddenly rushed out of the top of the small temple.

Immediately, a huge figure dressed in white, standing on a nine-grade lotus platform, wearing a lotus flower crown on his head, tasseled on his chest, and with eight arms, slowly emerged from the crystal light curtain.

This huge figure is exactly the same as the Bodhisattva statue with the appearance of Faliuli in the small temple, but the size is unbelievably huge, it is a full ten feet high!

Shen Lang looked up at the ten-foot-tall Bodhisattva Dharma with a face full of shock, and almost blurted out the sentence "Damn it".

Yan Tianying seemed to be resolving his doubts, and said leisurely:

"This is the 'dharma form' that can only be condensed by a first-rank Daoist. If you can master Taoism in the future, you can also condense your own dharma form."

When he was speaking, the Bodhisattva's eight arms each formed a seal, and his whole body burst into scorching crystal light, shooting towards the huge spider web in the "night" that gave people the feeling of "a net of heaven and earth".

Under the crystal light, the huge spider web faded and dissipated with green smoke like snow meeting the scorching sun.

The four huge eyes behind the spider web also slowly disappeared.

But before it disappeared, the pair of black eyes below, which seemed to lead to the abyss, glanced at Shen Lang lightly, which made Shen Lang's scalp tingle and his hair stand on end for a while.

Yan Tianying said happily:

"It seems that the spider mother really can't put too much power into this world. As soon as Venerable Liuli appeared, he could only retreat and dissipate. Bai Shishi's primordial spirit has been preserved."

As the spider webs and four eyes gradually disappeared, the small piece of sky above the small temple, which turned into a "night curtain", returned to the normal evening scene.

The Dharma image of the Shizhang Bodhisattva also restrained the light and slowly dissipated.

After all the abnormalities disappeared, the small temple quickly returned to normal.

After a while, the temple door opened with a creak, and Master Wanfa's voice came from inside:
"You can come in now."

Shen Lang followed Yan Tianying into the small temple lobby again, and saw Bai Shishi lying on a bamboo couch with her eyes closed, her face pale, and her breathing seemed a little weak.

Fa Liuli was sitting cross-legged on the futon, holding a teacup in both hands, and was sipping tea, her complexion looked good, as if she wasn't too tired.

Seeing Shen Lang and Yan Tianying coming in, she put down her teacup and smiled at them:
"In the present world, the spider mother is much weaker than in the magic palace. Bai Benefactor's soul restriction has been lifted. As long as you don't take the initiative to worship the spider mother, you don't have to worry about being bewitched and corrupted by her. Will fall into the control of the spider mother.

"It's just that Master Bai's martial arts and secret arts are mostly bestowed by the spider mother's empowerment. With the release of the restriction of the primordial spirit, her martial arts cultivation level has dropped by two major realms. In terms of secret arts, she barely retained a small part."

Martial arts fell to two great realms?
That is to fall from the fifth rank to the seventh rank, and all the internal energy in the whole body will be cleaned up?
However, although it seems to be a huge loss, most of Bai Shishi's cultivation was directly empowered and rewarded by the spider mother. Today, it is necessary to completely cut off the spider mother and wash off her cultivation.

It's already pretty good without being completely washed back to the state of ordinary people.

At that moment, Shen Lang put his hands together and bowed to Venerable Liuli:
"On behalf of Bai Shishi, I would like to thank Venerable Liuli. I don't know if she can regain her level of martial arts?"

Fa Liuli smiled and said:
"She has experience in the sixth and fifth ranks of martial arts. The sea of ​​qi in her dantian and the acupoints of her meridians have also been tempered with internal strength for a long time. It is much easier to regain internal strength than to practice from scratch."

Shen Lang nodded:
"It's good to be able to practice and come back."

After a pause, he said solemnly again:
"Just now when the two great masters were fighting with the Spider Mother, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky. I felt...as if they were really being targeted by the Spider Mother."

Even though the abnormality in the sky has disappeared, Shen Lang no longer has the creepy feeling of being directly stared at by the "great terror" and having a sky knife hanging above his head, but there is a vague sense of staring, which is still lingering.

He knew very well that this was by no means a paranoid illusion, but a real spiritual warning.

Master Wanfa said calmly:
"You killed all six spider sisters in one go, and Bai Shishi's soul restriction was also broken because of you. The spider mother is probably only the seven apostles in this world, and it was hard to convince the seven sisters to offer blood to him. Food, but you ruined it all by yourself, so He will naturally watch you closely and take revenge on you."

Fa Liuli nodded slightly:
"Yuzhen is right. As I said before, the day when Bai Benedict's restriction is lifted is when the spider mother will cast her eyes on you. Now, once you fall into a dream, the spider mother may cast a nightmare curse."

Shen Lang said softly:
"I don't know how His Holiness plans to help me?"

Fa Liuli pondered for a while, and said:

"I will arrange formations, perform secret techniques, and move your dreams into the formations.

"At that time, if the spider mother wants to curse you with nightmares, he will come directly into the dream formation. Yuzhen, Master Yan and I can join the formation to help you and try to repel him."

Having said that, she stared at Shen Lang with bright eyes, and her tone became dignified:
"However, we don't have a deep understanding of the spider mother's ability. We don't know how powerful she can be in the dream. How much help we can give you is also unknown.

"So you must not pin all your hopes on me, Yuzhen, and Master Yan. You must also be prepared to face the nightmare test of the spider mother with great perseverance and great wisdom."

Shen Lang nodded solemnly:

"I understand. I'll be ready."

Fa Liuli smiled again and blinked:

"You are a natural born Buddha child with Buddha's karma and wisdom roots. I also believe that a mere nightmare can't do anything to you."

"..."

Shen Lang was speechless, resisting the urge to roll his eyes, and bowed to Venerable Liuli:
"Then I will leave everything to the venerable. I wonder how long it will take to set up the formation?"

Venerable Liuli said:

"Before midnight tonight at the latest, the formation can be properly arranged. Before that, you must not fall asleep, nor meditate. You must keep exercising, so as not to fall into a dream unconsciously."

Shen Lang nodded solemnly:

"Then I will continue to practice martial arts moves until Zishi."

After a few hours.

It was midnight, and the night was covering the fields, and the Zen courtyard was quiet.

In the main hall of the small temple, in front of the Bodhisattva Dharma, Shen Lang was lying on a bamboo couch, already sound asleep.

Around the bamboo couch, various Buddha treasures such as amber, agate, and clam were placed according to certain rituals, and four one-foot-high golden Buddha statues were placed on Shen Lang's hands and feet respectively.

Fa Liuli sat cross-legged across from his head, wearing a lotus flower crown, on which were inlaid eight relics shining with soft Buddha light.

She formed a seal with her hands, recited scriptures, and performed secret techniques.

Soon all kinds of Buddha treasures and four Buddha statues shone brightly, illuminating Shen Lang.

The eight relics on the Faliuli Lotus Dharma Crown also emitted brilliant Buddha light, reflecting on Shen Lang.

A moment later, between Shen Lang's eyebrows, a fountain-like ray of light burst out, turning into an unpredictable cloud of radiance, floating above him.

"This is the dream of little monk Fahai."

Fa Liuli said softly to Yan Tianying and Wanfa Daoist who were standing outside the ceremony:
"When the spider mother's nightmare comes, we need to get out of the body and help him in his dreams."

Yan Tianying smiled and said:
"You just cast spells. When the time comes, Yuzhen and I will do everything according to your instructions. But after all, I'm just a warrior. I'm not very good at fighting with the soul, so you have to take me with you."

Fa Liuli smiled slightly, and was about to speak when suddenly his expression froze:
"It came so fast! The spider mother has already fallen asleep!"

Yan Tianying frowned, and stared, and saw that ball hanging above Shen Lang, in the unpredictable mist of light, at some point, a small black spot appeared, expanding rapidly. Like ink staining clear water, it wanted to infect his dreams into pitch black.

"The nightmare is coming, we have to fall asleep quickly, and help the little monk Fahai!"

Fa Liuli said in a deep voice, forming a seal with her hands, a white light rose above her head and turned into a snow-white lotus bud.

The snow-white lotus bud quickly burst into petals, revealing the lotus stamen, and on the lotus stamen, stood a three-inch small man, with white clothes like snow, black hair hanging down the waist, a little cinnabar between the eyebrows, bare crystal snow-white feet, and ribs. The eight arms are exactly the real person of Fa Liuli.

Above the head of Daoist Wanfa, a colorful ray of light also rushed up, turning into an ever-changing colorful cloud.

On top of the clouds, sat a three-inch small man in green clothes without makeup, with a long sword on his back, and a big seal in his hand, which was exactly her true face.

After Daoist Wanfa sacrificed his Dharma image, he first flashed, came to the top of Yan Tianying's head, lifted the big seal, aimed at Yan Tianying Tianling, and smashed it hard, with a bang, the top of Yan Tianying's head shook, and jumped out A three-inch little man exactly like him.

As a martial artist, Yan Tianying is not as easy as Wanfa Daoist and Fa Liuli to get out of his body, so he has to be helped.

The primordial spirit is very important, so that Yan Tianying can put down the primordial spirit's defense and allow him to help call out the primordial spirit, and only Daoist Wanfa can do so.

Daoist Wanfa's Yuanshen Faxiang took Yan Tianying Yuanshen's hand and pulled him to the colorful cloud.

Fa Liuli's primordial spirit Fa nodded at the two primordial spirits, and shot out a beam of Buddha's light, covering the two primordial spirits, and then the three of them jumped together, turning the light into Shen Lang's dream.

In the main hall of the small temple, there was an instant silence.

The physical bodies of Fa Liuli, Yan Tianying, and Wanfa Daoist were as motionless as puppets.

But if anyone thinks that the three of them have lost all consciousness and the slightest ability to resist at this time, and want to take the feat of destroying the three first-rank Dazhengs and Grand Masters in one fell swoop, they will definitely get an unforgettable "surprise".

However, as soon as Fa Liuli, Yan Tianying, and Master Wanfa entered the dreamland, they immediately ran into the "surprise" that the spider mother had prepared for them.

The primordial bodies of the three were forcibly distorted by some strange force the moment they entered the dreamland, and transformed into three tiny flying insects, which crashed into a spider web.

In the center of the spider web, a huge black spider is crawling, quietly watching three "little bugs" struggle in the web, two by two horizontally, two red and two black among the four spider eyes, a touch of mockery emerges in a humanized way ...

In a trance.

Shen Lang, who was in a drowsy sleep, suddenly felt a violent vibration coming from under his body.

He opened his eyes and found that he was crawling on a spider web.

And not far ahead, three small flying insects unfortunately bumped into the net, struggling desperately.

But the more they struggled, the more spider silk stuck to them, and the tighter they entangled.

The violent vibration that woke Shen Lang up was caused by the struggle of the three little bugs.

At this moment, Shen Lang, who had his dreams disturbed, looked at the three struggling little bugs, and couldn't help feeling angry in his heart.

He felt that he had never had such a serious "getting up".

Not only was the evil fire burning in his heart, but he was also hungry for a while.

However, when the three worms were struggling, they emitted bursts of seductive fragrance, which made Shen Lang's belly scream loudly, and his tongue was full of fluid, giving birth to a strong desire to eat.

Getting up and increasing his appetite made Shen Lang quickly make a decision: tear up those three bugs, and eat them until there is no scum left!
After making the decision, Shen Lang quickly stood up, moved the eight spider legs, and quickly crawled towards the three bugs along the longitudinal axis of the spider web, as if he was born a spider with skillful movements.

But when he was about to get close to the three worms, the worms suddenly made a move that shocked him.

A small insect spewed out a sharp white light, and cut off one of his spider legs, causing him to twitch in pain, and couldn't help but let out a sharp hiss.

Another worm swung a slender forelimb, and shot out a heavy airflow, which hit his head, smashed his two fangs, and made him dizzy with pain, and staggered on his hind legs.

Another small bug burst out with scorching crystal light, shining on him, making him feel as if he had fallen into a sea of ​​flames. The carapace all over his body sizzled and emitted thick black smoke, and the intense burning pain made him scream incessantly.

It's the other way around!

The prey that fell into my snare dared to resist!
Shen Lang's heart was raging with anger, and the string of reason was about to break.

But right now.

There was a sudden burning pain on the back of his left hand.At the same time, childish, cute, or cold voices came into his mind intermittently.

"Shen Lang, are you swollen?"

"Master Yin, what are you doing? Why do you feel that your state is not right?"

"Shen Lang, you seem to be dying... I feel that your soul is in pain... Shen Lang, hurry up, wake up."

"Shen Lang, wake up quickly! Otherwise, I will wake you up with a dragon wagging its tail!"

"Master Yin, wake up quickly..."

The burning pain on the back of his left hand, and the familiar voice calling, immediately made Shen Lang feel enlightened, and he suddenly woke up: No, I am Shen Lang, I am not a spider, I don’t want to eat bugs, I want big Big fish, big bowl of wine!

But even though he realized that the situation was wrong, Shen Lang did not change from a spider back to a human form.

Not only did he not change back, but his spider body didn't seem to be able to obey his orders, and even withstood the fierce resistance of the three bugs, dragging many scars, and crawled towards them relentlessly.

"If this continues, I will be beaten to death! The first spider in history to be killed by a bug caught in the net... No, the first monk to be killed by a bug, I can record the most stupid death method in history The leaderboard is up!"

Shen Lang's heart was awe-inspiring, and he quickly visualized the "Great Sun Tathagata" dharma appearance. In the sea of ​​consciousness, a golden Buddha suddenly appeared.

But that alone is not enough.

Shen Lang got rid of all distracting thoughts, his mind was like a flat lake, and in his consciousness, except for the statue of the Great Sun Tathagata with the same face as himself, he could not think of a single thought, as calm as empty space.

Suddenly, like a flash of inspiration, or as if the clouds opened to see the moon, he suddenly remembered a verse.

At the same time, in his sea of ​​consciousness, the golden statue of the Great Sun Tathagata also recited:
"Everything that has appearances is illusory. If you see all appearances and non-appearances, you will see the Tathagata!"

The mighty Buddha's voice echoed in Shen Lang's mind, and after repeated vibrations, it turned into infinite Buddha's light, like a big sun, shining in all directions.

Under the universal illumination of the Buddha's light, all the dark and evil spirits melt away instantly like boiling soup and snow.

Afterwards, on Shen Lang's spider body that didn't listen to him, there was also immeasurable Buddha's light, which came out from every joint and every air hole of the spider.

In an instant, the black spider was plated golden by the overflowing Buddha's light.

Following the rapid melting of the spider's shell, his whole body was shining with golden light. With his hands folded together, Shen Lang sat cross-legged and meditating after breaking his shell, suspended in the air above the spider web.

Under the reflection of the Buddha's light, all the illusions in front of the eyes also quickly fade away, revealing the truth.

Those three little bugs who fell into the spider web but resisted unexpectedly fiercely, how could they be tiny flying bugs?
It is clearly the appearance of Venerable Liuli, Yan Tianying, and Master Wanfa!

At this moment.

The three of Yan Tianying found that the black spider they had been beating for a long time was actually transformed by Shen Lang, and they couldn't help showing a trace of fear in their eyes—the spider mother's nightmare was really weird, and they almost killed Shen Lang with their hands!

If it weren't for this place to be Shen Lang's own dream, the whole dream was backed by Shen Lang's primordial spirit, and also supported by various Buddhist treasures, relics, and magic magic formations, the primordial spirit was extraordinarily tough and would not be easily destroyed by external forces , he might have been broken up by the three of them long ago!
In addition to being afraid, the three of them showed different expressions.

Venerable Liuli looked at Shen Lang with a smile, as if he had picked up a treasure.

Yan Tianying and Master Wan Fa couldn't believe it.

Although under the blessing of the formation, Shen Lang will have incredible power in his dreams, but even so, he can break free from the confusion of dreams by himself without their help, and even help them break away from the illusory and help them in turn. They see the truth...

How exactly did he do it?
How did he get rid of the confusion of the nightmare and wake up?

What is going on with that verse that breaks away falsehood?

Is he really like what Fa Liuli said, what kind of Buddha's son with Buddha's relationship and wisdom root can't be successful?

With feelings of shock, curiosity, or joy, the three of Yan Tianying were about to step forward to join Shen Lang, when suddenly, the space where the four of them were was shattered like a mirror.

In the blink of an eye, the four of them couldn't help themselves and fell into different places.

Yan Tianying, Wanfa Daoist, and Venerable Liuli are okay. With their cultivation base, even if they are turned into insects by the nightmare, they can still kill spiders.

But Shen Lang...

Before breaking the falsehood, seeing the real performance looks very handsome.

But in essence, it can also be said that he was just woken up.

But this time, after a while of dizziness, Shen Lang realized in astonishment that he had turned into a worm caught in the net, and a spider crawled in front of him.

And that's no ordinary spider.

It was a half-human half-spider with a silver horn on the forehead, four-eyed naked woman on the face, and a big blood-striped black-shell spider on the lower body!
It was the spider mother!
