I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 434 Forty-Seven Thieves

Xu Jia has already cultivated into a Yang God, so there is no need to check them one by one. With just a thought, he can see the past of tens of thousands of people at a glance, not to mention their future.

This is called "fatalism" in Buddhism, but it is only a natural achievement after one has cultivated to the level of Yang Shen, just like standing on a high place and seeing things more clearly and naturally.

Even if he is an "earthly immortal", he can still achieve "omniscience".

Some of the people here are normal desert refugees, and some are actually sand bandit spies.

The sand bandits here are interesting, and they are the bane of the Western Silk Road.

To be precise, there are forty-seven such bandit groups in the entire desert.

This reminded Xu Jia of "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves". People in the Central Plains thought that Alibaba was a Persian, but in fact this story actually describes a story from the far East.

Although this desert is barren and barren, it can connect with the Western Regions and is the only way on the ancient Silk Road.

There are still many merchants in this world of swordsmanship. Along the Silk Road, tea, silk, and some porcelain from the Central Plains are transported to the Arab region by camels and horses, and then transported to Europe by Arab merchants.

In general, the geographical atlas here has not changed in the general direction.

Because the desert is so vast, it is difficult to eliminate the bandits. Besides, these bandits are not usually bandits. After all, the professional ones are a minority.

Xu Jia immediately pulled out all these sand bandit spies, and just with a slight movement of the ruya in his hand, he activated a few golden beans, which turned into Yellow Turban warriors. Although it was just a casual activation, these Yellow Turban warriors had the strength of the late human immortal, comparable to the foundation-building monks in the fairy tale novels.

When these bandits were caught, they were immediately terrified, and they trembled even more when they were caught by the Yellow Turban strongmen who were a meter tall.

The fire monk quickly stepped forward and asked on behalf of Xu Jia: "Who are you? How dare you sneak into our oasis?"

The sand bandit spy still wanted to argue: "We are good citizens!" But the fire monk directly refined fire into needles and pierced them into his body, following the meridians. At once, the fire poison flowed, burning his internal organs and causing him unbearable pain.

Seeing this man's fate, the remaining few quickly confessed: "We are the subordinates of the Forty-Seven Great Thieves of the Desert."

"The Forty-Seven Great Bandits of the Desert?" Fireworks Monk turned to explain to Xu Jia, "Master, the Forty-Seven Great Bandits of the Desert are forty-seven vicious bandit leaders, among whom there are Qigong practitioners. The Three Demons of the Desert are three of the Forty-Seven Great Bandits, namely the seventh, eighth, and ninth."

"Every thirty years, the No. 1 thief would gather these thieves together, one for ranking, and the other for gathering together to rob. Many of the people they targeted suffered heavy casualties, and they even robbed the Western Regions branch of the righteous Shushan Sword Sect. The Shushan Sword Sect once sent disciples to encircle and suppress them, but they only killed a few of the lowest-ranked thieves. The No. 1 thief even said that no one could catch him unless the White-browed Immortal Xu Shou came in person."

"Master Xu Shou became famous three hundred years ago, and he has been cultivating himself and his nature in the Emei Cave Heaven for more than a hundred years, waiting for cultivation."

When Xu Jia heard that the Emei Immortal was called "Xu Shou", he thought of Baimei played by Sammo Hung, but that Baimei had already achieved the "Golden Immortal Taoism".

The celestial immortals in the setting of Shushan seem to be able to still walk in the world, but the golden immortals cannot stay and need to ascend immediately.

But no matter what, it is the sixth heaven of the Desire Realm. The "Golden Immortal" here may be a specific "Heavenly Immortal". For example, someone who practices Taoism and Buddhism at the same time, and combines Buddhism and Taoism, can be called a "Golden Immortal".

Or maybe they have cultivated something like "Amitabha Gengzi Golden Light Nature", also called Golden Immortal.

In short, there are many hidden dangers here. Xu Jia wanted to explore it carefully. The Wanshou Emperor of the Changsheng Sect, who was wandering in this world, only learned the Blood God Technique and thought he was invincible. However, he was still killed by Xu Jia's innate three-talent killing intent and all his soul was cut off with one sword.

Of course, what kind of person is the Emperor Wanshou of the Changsheng Sect? Xu Jia estimates that he is also trash among the Yangshen. Chunyang is Chunyang, and engaging in these unorthodox ways completely eliminates the possibility of becoming a celestial immortal. It is a waste of God's gift for the inheritance of the Huangtian Sect to fall into his hands.

When it came to Xu Jia, although he had turned from evil to good, Xu Jia was the successor of Lingbao and the Huangtian Taoist tradition. He could play with her, but he couldn't really marry her home.

"These thieves must have set their sights on the Buddha's relic, or the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum that holds the Buddha's relic. Master, there have long been rumors that the relic combined with the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum can be refined into a nine-transformation golden elixir, which can directly increase the magic power for ten thousand years and achieve the status of a golden immortal."

The fire monk looked up at the sky. The relics suspended in the void slowly absorbed the sunlight. At night, they would emit a soft light, shining on the plants, making them grow well. They also shone on all living beings, making them happy and healthy.

This hundred-mile oasis has been brought to life only thanks to this relic. It is indeed an extraordinary treasure, and it is said to be so miraculous that it is truly convincing.

The nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum was swallowed and exhaled by the little Ganoderma lucidum horse, and turned into the essence of Eastern Yi Wood. The spirit of the dragon horse transformed, and it changed from a horse shape to a dragon shape. It was still building the fairy Ganoderma lucidum in the "Yu Yu blessed land" in Xu Jia's belly. Every time a piece of Ganoderma lucidum matured in the Ganoderma field, it would be sent to the "Dan Ding Palace" and refined into a precious medicine to nourish the body and spirit in Xu Jia's body and the celestial being for cultivation.

These physical gods and celestial beings are part of Xu Jia.

The remaining Ganoderma lucidum, which had no medicinal properties, became the woody blank of the magic weapon. After Xu Jia spit out a breath of innate Taiyi Qingyang Donghua Qi, it became a jade ruyi. Now it only carries the "three treasures of man", that is, Xu Jia's essence, energy and spirit, and has not been refined into the three treasures of the earth and the three treasures of the sky.

In Xu Jia's hands, it was completely used as a "magic wand", and he would occasionally chant: "As you wish, as I wish."

It is more beautiful than practical.

"You go and kill him." Xu Jia said to the fire monk.

"Me?" Huogong Tou Tuo pointed at himself in surprise.

"Is it me?" Xu Jia said, "In the martial arts world, the more people there are in a group, the weaker their strength is. They can only become famous together. The real masters are all alone and disdain to be on par with others. This Forty-Seven Thieves of the Desert is obviously a third-rate guy who is just trying to cheat in Shushan. If he is really that powerful, why doesn't he develop in Shu?"

Xu Jia said: "Even if they are called the Seven Sons, Five Tigers, Three Demons, Two Heroes...Southern or Northern, they are all reputations blown up by the public and human relationships. As for the reputations of those demons, I believe they are real. If they were fake, they would have been killed by the righteous. They must have some strength to have lived this long."

"It seems to make sense." Huogong Toudao pondered: "Master, what name do you think I should use when I am walking in the world? Huogong Toudao is not a good name. Even the coolies who make fire and cook in the temple cannot be considered a great master." "This is different. The more plain and unpretentious it is, the more powerful it appears. The more you want to have a powerful name, the more it appears to be powerful. If you just call yourself Red Eyebrow Old Buddha, you will be wiped out by the big guys of Buddhism in minutes. Only Huogong Toudao can develop."

"Makes sense."

Xu Jia said: "Kill all the forty-seven thieves who can be killed. I will teach you a magic skill that can be used to refine them into Vajra Dharma Protectors. Each of them will be refined into a golden bean. These people have committed many evil deeds and deserve to die. It is just right for you to use the Dutian Fiery Fire to forge them into powerful Vajra. This Vajra can erase their memories, but retain a certain degree of mental intelligence and fighting instincts. It is very convenient to use them in group fights."

"But this is a heresy that belongs to the Buddha who turned into a demon. I don't want to use it, but it's okay for you to use it. Anyway, you look like a monk."

Although Huogong Toudao felt that these words did not sound like a compliment to himself, he could just learn if he had the ability. What else could he do?
Xu Jia's method was transformed from "refining zombies" with the addition of some Huangtian teachings to refine and summon "Yellow Turban Warriors" and combined with some of the methods in the Buddhist Shurangama Sutra to subdue the external demons.

It is not that difficult to say, as long as you have a little bit of Buddhist attainments, you can achieve it.

Huogong Toudao has indeed been secretly studying Buddhism these days. He also wants to gain some benefits from the Buddhist relic on his head.

Because of their friendship in guarding the temple together, he often went to the Buddhist temple in the Ancient Golden Kingdom to learn some Buddhist teachings from Shifang, a disciple of Zen Master Baiyun.

Shifang received instruction from Zen Master Baiyun and passed on to him the "Sunlight Bodhisattva Speaks of the Infinite Light Sutra", which, together with the "Sun God Visualization Method" passed on to him by Xu Jia, actually belongs to the same origin of Buddhism and Taoism.

However, the status of Sunlight Bodhisattva in Buddhism is not as high as that of "Mahavairocana Tathagata". After achieving enlightenment, he will "generate light", that is, light will be generated behind his head.

Although it looks like a light bulb, it is actually "bright and visible". In this light, the devil cannot hide, and the evil spirits are like being fried in hot oil. All those curses and plots will be ineffective.

If you practice more powerfully, you will become a small human-shaped sun. Wherever it shines, there will be a bright pure land, and it is also in harmony with the "Golden Light Nature of Amitabha Gengzi".

It was because Xu Jia saw this that he passed this method to him.

Xu Jia is a master of unconventional methods, but he has little to teach and nothing to practice. The few times he has used it were in America, where magic is flourishing and it is just the right place to fight evil with evil.

"What a powerful method!"

After receiving Xu Jia's instruction, Huogong Toudao actually felt that it was even more powerful than the Dutian Fiery Sword. The main reason was that the powerful Vajra Protectors could actually set up a "large formation". Three of them could set up the "Vajra Subduing Demon Circle Formation", five of them could set up the "Five-Direction Vajra Body Protection Formation", all the way up to the Eighteen Arhats Formation, or even the "Five Hundred Arhats Formation".

No matter what kind of true Qi or magical power these Vajra Dharma Protectors have cultivated before, they will be assimilated into Buddhist magical power.

Moreover, this Buddhist magic power can be "transmitted" to each other.

"First, find a weak thief and refine him. Then you will have a helper. Then you can find a second one. After accumulating strength, you can form a formation. These 47 thieves can be refined to death by you."

"That……"

"No." Xu Jia sneered, "Why is it called a side door and a left path? It's because it has huge flaws. These people have no self, no way, and can't rely on the accumulation of mana to cultivate relics or golden elixirs. Being able to cultivate innate true qi is already the limit."

"You can only bully those who are not good enough in the side sects or the new disciples of the righteous sect. If they are really outstanding, it will be useless even if you train more. Moreover, these Vajra Dharma Protectors will also be worn out, age, and be eliminated. You can use them as a portable Taoist soldier, but you also have to manage their cultivation resources, otherwise it will be difficult to improve."

"That's not bad. I don't need a lot. I can refine not all of the forty-seven thieves. Even if I can refine a dozen or twenty, it will be enough for me to walk around freely." The fire monk was very satisfied.

He immediately rode on the Dutian Fiery Sword to look for the thief.

The one who was in contact with these spies in the oasis was the 42nd thief among the 47 thieves, who was specifically in charge of gathering news and intelligence.

This person was not good at other things, but he was very good at earth escape and divine movement. His kung fu to enter Taoism was also a light skill. He cultivated from the outside to the inside, and cultivated the acquired true Qi. Then he cultivated the acquired true Qi into the innate true Qi. Only in this way did he join the ranks of Qigong practitioners.

His name was "Zhang Yuan". He was an outer sect errand disciple of the Songshan Sect in the Central Plains. Every day he had to fetch water for the kitchen, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and then from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. It was an easy journey for him. The entry-level skill of the Songshan Sect was Qinggong.

But later, he left Songshan and went out to explore the world. By chance, he came to the desert and obtained a wild inheritance. He cultivated from acquired to innate. He was noticed by the number one thief, who taught him the earth escape, divine movement, wind control and other evil tricks.

Although his sword flying skills were average and his head-on combat skills were also average, his ability to escape was first-rate. Among the forty-seven thieves, those who could defeat him were all "earth immortals" and had refined golden elixirs.

Zhang Yuan was ordered by the number one thief to monitor the Buddhist relics and to find out the news about "Xu Jia". After all, Xu Jia fought in the Ancient Golden Kingdom that day, and although he was very powerful, he seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Taoist Huanglian became even more mediocre later on, and it was obvious that he was not a human being.

It was obvious that there was a mysterious boss behind it. In addition, those who were interested had visited Zen Master Baiyun, so it was not difficult to get information about the Crescent Moon Lake Glazed Land. It was indeed a force built by a "god among gods".

No matter how powerful the No. 1 thief is, to be honest, he is only at the level of an earthly immortal and cannot cultivate to the level of a Yang God. If he really wanted to become a Yang God, with pure Yang thoughts that never have any hidden desires, how could he shrink here and become a thief?

At this time, Zhang Yuan was hiding next to the ruins of the ancient golden country, disguised as a guard of a wealthy businessman, wearing khaki clothes and playing with two iron beads in his hands.

There are mechanisms hidden inside these two beads. If anything happens, they can be thrown out to create smoke several feet high, covering him as he escapes underground.

He didn't know that he had been exposed, and was still thinking about another magical power.

It was none other than "Sand Escape". This magical power was found by Huogong Toudao and his companions from the Dharma Realm. Later on, somehow, it became famous. It was not because of anything else, but because of that great war. Many people died, but those who knew Sand Escape survived and naturally became famous.
