Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 367
After saying that, the Asura warriors shouted and killed the Buddhist cultivators in the distance as if they had been injected with chicken blood.Ren Qinglian, on the other hand, stepped on the blood-colored aura, holding a double-edged broadsword familiar to the Shura tribe, and went to kill the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.The sword energy is fierce, and the moves that have perfectly integrated Qiu Tianci's Mingsha Sword Art and the Earth Sha Holy Art, each move contains an unparalleled killing atmosphere, and it complements his incarnation of Shura.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sneered: "Arrogance!" The blood god son is not his opponent, let alone the mere Shura god of war in front of him, and the Buddha treasure figure behind him stretched out his hand, and the sword light hacked at the magic weapon in the hand of the Buddha statue. On the ground, a little bit of brilliance burst out.Ren Qinglian's moves were not yet mature, the Buddha's treasured Vajra pestle in the Buddha statue's hand stretched and stretched, and it had already skillfully circled around, directly hitting the blade of the sword, and took advantage of the momentum to kill Ren Qinglian.

Ren Qinglian was not afraid at all, this kind of close combat is an advantage for a warrior, she stretched out her hand towards the Vajra Pestle, and her fingertips touched the Buddha treasure, with a bang, the surrounding brilliance shone wildly.

However, the cultivation bases of the two sides are very different after all. The vajra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was shaken away by Ren Qinglian's finger, and Ren Qinglian's finger was also scratched with a small wound by the sharp edge of the vajra.

"Sure enough!" Ren Qinglian thought to herself, "Although the physical strength of this Shura incarnation has been raised to the level of a Daluo Jinxian with the help of the blood essence of the Blood God Son, it is still inferior to the quasi-sacred golden relic body of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Some!" The Buddha's relic body can be used to cut corpses, and it is also a top-level acquired spiritual treasure that is constantly tempered. Although it may not have all the mysterious functions of innate magic weapons, when it comes to attacking strength, it is It is not weaker than the general innate magic weapon!Glancing at the Buddha's face behind Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, I don't know when he has grown three pairs of arms, three heads, and each of the six hands is holding a magic weapon. A piece of Buddha Baofu called him again.

Although her strength was not as good as that, Ren Qinglian was not a purely physical warrior. With a flash of sword light in her hand, she fought with the relic body again with a fierce killing move and a tyrannical killing sword intent.The two fought back and forth in the ruins of Juanhe, but they never noticed that the blood god formation in the sky was constantly expanding, and wherever it was enveloped by this formation, all Buddhist monks, cultivators Because mana must be suppressed.

On the ground, not only Ren Qinglian and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but also many esoteric Buddhas, King Ming, and Wang Buddha around them. The strength of these people could not be compared with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Obviously, after a long time, in the face of the more and more courageous Shura King and Shura God General, someone finally noticed something strange, panicked for a while, and became even more concerned.

During that formation, Patriarch Styx urged two killing swords to fly horizontally and horizontally, avoiding Da Ri Tathagata and Taoist Lu Ya into a panic, but slowly, he also found that he could not really keep these two Excuse me, all the actions at this time, one is to teach this future neighbor a lesson, stand upright, and second, it is to temporarily hold these two people back, and by the way, to provide convenience for his gang of Shura disciples and grandchildren. He beheaded many Buddhist monks, and he was ashamed.

The Shura clan is naturally killing, but the Buddhist side is suffering more and more. Originally, those kings and Buddhas still remembered the order of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to evacuate the things from the 24 heavens, and now they don't care about it , fighting and retreating one by one, falling into a defensive state.The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva over there was finally alerted, but what really made him retreat at this moment was not because of the influence of the Blood God Son formation. After all, even if it suppressed part of his mana, he could deal with a Da Luo Jinxian Shura The God General is not difficult for him, although the Asura God General in front of him is proficient in moves and is very difficult to deal with, but at most it will take some effort. Change.

……

The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva left in the color world at this moment is just the good corpse of Ksitigarbha, but his real body has been sitting on the Yin Mountain in the underworld. foundation.

Since the war between Buddhism and Shura, the entire underworld has also been turbulent.The six realms of reincarnation have always been controlled by Houtu. For countless years, Taoism and Buddhism have had no way to intervene, but this nether world has gradually become the focus of the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism.

Back then, the Ksitigarbha King made a great wish in the Nether Blood Sea to enter the Yinshan Mountain to save the evil spirits in the [-]th hell, which can be regarded as controlling a part of the power of the underworld. The Heavenly Lord of the Ten Directions to Save the Sufferers forcibly intervenes in the good and evil rewards and punishments of the underworld, but compared to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Heavenly Lord of the Ten Directions to Save the Suffering can only be regarded as taking advantage of the orthodox power of the heaven to have a place in the underworld. This underworld doesn't have much control, after all, behind the Ten Temples of Hades stands the Empress Pingxin, who is respectful to the heaven on the surface, but in fact she has the meaning of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, giving Daoist Taiyi a false name, So that both Buddhism and Taoism can have a lively fight.

Now that the Ksitigarbha lineage is being targeted by the Shura Clan, it gives the real Taiyi a chance to take part of the power in the eighteen hells into his own.I saw the nine-color lotus seat manifested under the seat of the God of Rescue of the Ten Directions, surrounded by nine lions breathing flames, surrounding the throne, surrounded by nine-color divine light, radiating ten thousand zhang rays of light, many real people, powerful men, golden boys and jade girls Guarding the left and right, shed immeasurable mighty virtue, immeasurable compassion, and immeasurable wisdom to hell.

In Cuiyun Palace on Yinshan Mountain, the deity of Ksitigarbha King wears a Vairocana crown on his head and holds a Zen stick in his hand. His face is firm and peaceful, bright and clean like jade, containing immeasurable wisdom and longevity.At this moment, listening to the murmured voices wafting from all over the hell, the compassionate face changed slightly, and he was extremely annoyed. He chanted the mantra, and blossoming lotus flowers flew out of his mouth, "I have calculated carefully to have such a good situation." , this Xuanmen reacted in a timely manner, that’s all, now I can only abandon the color world and deal with these Taoist rats with all my strength.” Thinking of this, he chanted even more hurriedly, and the lotus fell like splashing water, layer upon layer, reaching the sky Grounded, the fragrance of lotus is tangy.At the same time, it was also sent that Shanshi brought the heavenly kings Buddha and a group of Buddhist soldiers from Jiuhua Mountain back to Yinshan Mountain to protect the family business.

……

In the world of color, Buddhist cultivators retreated and were killed by Shura generals, causing countless casualties, and even some of them became captives.Leaving aside these, Ren Qinglian has gradually mastered the power of Shura's transformation, and perfectly integrated the warrior's killing sword intent into Shura's bloody aura. The power is even higher, but compared with Ksitigarbha, it is still Can't beat the opponent, but at least it's barely evenly matched.

But at this moment, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's complexion changed, and a talisman appeared in the palm of his hand. Seeing this talisman, Ren Qinglian's eyes narrowed. When he was in Huangfengling that year, that Tiger Pioneer used this talisman to capture him After entering the underworld, my heart immediately took precautions secretly.While the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the clinker, sacrificed the talisman, the mysterious light did not emerge towards him, but enveloped the Buddhist soldiers from Mount Jiuhua and the kings and Buddhas from the 24 heavens, and then, Regardless of the life and death of those Ming kings, Buddhas, and Buddhist soldiers of Tantric Buddhism, they disappeared in this color world in an instant.

Ren Qinglian was stunned for a moment, seeing those Shura Kings and Shura Gods of War screaming one by one, she also shouted: "Where can I escape..." While speaking, the group of Shura fighters who were ordered by him to go out to hunt down the Buddhist soldiers had gathered one after another .

"My lord, these are the heads of 120 Buddhist soldiers..."

"My lord, here are two hundred relics..."

"My lord, here is a treasure bag..."

The voices of asking for credit came one after another. Ren Qinglian did not chase after the esoteric masters like the other Shura Kings and Shura War Gods, but kept nodding her head, praising these Shura generals for being able to catch those who can catch their eyes. All the treasures are in the bag.

"My lord, I caught a sneaky Buddha cultivator here." It was a slightly thin Shura warrior who was at the end of his turn. Compared with those colleagues, I am really a little embarrassed to show my gains.

However, Ren Qinglian signaled him not to be nervous with a kind face, but when her eyes fell on the monk, she shrank slightly.

After sending out a group of Shura warriors to continue chasing and killing Buddhist monks, he stared at the monk's brow and smiled and said, "You take it out yourself, or should I take it out myself!"

The monk's face changed drastically, "How did you find out!"

Ren Qinglian sneered, his Nine Nether Mysterious Eyes had evolved several times, and now it has reached an unbelievable level. This monk's cultivation is only a mere celestial realm, so how could there be a relic that exudes a quasi-sacred aura hidden between his eyebrows? !With the help of Xuantong, he can even directly see where the relic is.Without waiting for the monk to talk nonsense, he will take it away.

But the monk yelled loudly, realizing that he had been bound by a powerful force on the spot, and roared with grief and anger: "Master Randeng, this disciple is useless, I can't complete the task you entrusted... "As he said, he wanted to blew himself up.

Ren Qinglian's heart moved when she heard his words, "Wait a minute, look who I am?" After she finished speaking, her face changed into that of a monkey.

"Great Sage Equaling Heaven..." The monk screamed, then seemed to understand something, and hurriedly asked Ren Qinglian to change back again, and was no longer busy with self-explosion, but took the initiative to take out the relic and hand it to Ren Qinglian. : "It's pitiful to be able to meet the Great Sage here!"

When Ren Qinglian heard the word "Ran Deng", she thought that the relic was most likely left by the ancient Buddha Ran Deng, but she still had some doubts about the identity of this person: "Who are you to know that I am old? Sun's name!" While speaking, he took the relic without a trace, feeling the pure Buddhist magic power in it, and became more and more sure that it was the relic left by the ancient Buddha.

"Disciple Yunju has seen the great sage Buddha. Before the Lingshan was sealed, the master had a premonition and said, 'The catastrophe is coming, this is a certain number, beyond human power!', and handed over this relic to the disciple, He said he wanted to hand it over to the Great Sage himself, to the Great Sage..."

"The relic for burning the lamp, give it to the monkey..." Ren Qinglian seemed to have thought of something, and signaled the monk to follow her out of the world of color.

The monk was a kind-hearted master, seeing the miserable situation of the disciples of Tantric sect along the way, he couldn't help asking Ren Qinglian for help.

Naturally, Ren Qinglian didn't want to make extra troubles, shook her head, and said like a magic stick: "This is the doom of Tantra, we must intervene!" The siege, taking advantage of the situation, rolled up some Tantric masters and flew out of this color world.At the same time, raging tongues of flame fell from the blood god son formation, covering the entire color world.

Crack, click, countless tantric masters who had no time to escape were stained by the flames, as if something had been broken in their bodies, and crimson flames began to burn on their bodies, slowly forming crimson flames. These red lotuses swirled and danced in circles, spewing out more flames, burning those Buddhist monks into fly ashes.

Yunju looked terrified, because they had already reached the edge of the color world, and they were protected by Ren Qinglian, so they were not infected by those flames. Even so, they shouted with lingering fear: "It's the power of the karmic fire red lotus!" !"

"This karmic fire red lotus seems to pose a strong threat to Buddhist mana?" Ren Qinglian was thoughtful, and she could see that those flame tongues seemed to only deal with those Buddhist monks.

Yunju nodded, then shook his head again: "It's not aimed at Buddhist disciples, it's just that this karmic fire red lotus likes to burn the karma of karma the most. You brothers have practiced for many years and absorbed an unknown amount of incense belief power. The karma of all living beings in the world has been borne, so once it is contaminated, the phantom of the red lotus karma will be formed. Not only that, the red lotus karma will not only ignite the karma of cause and effect, but also the accumulation of karma in many lifetimes since the creation of the world. Cause and effect will also explode together..."

"It's so!" Ren Qinglian looked at the Tantric monks struggling in the karma, and her heart trembled.In the entire color world, countless red lotuses whirled and danced. Who could have imagined that there was such a horror hidden behind this beautiful scene.

Knowing that the old ancestor Minghe wanted to "purify" the entire color world, Ren Qinglian didn't dare to stay for long, and flew out of it with the Yunju monk, heading towards the direction of Lingshan.

……

On the other side, in the Yinshan Mountain of the underworld, with the arrival of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the kings of Buddha, and Buddhist soldiers, the Buddhist chants in hell gradually overwhelmed the Taoist voice, and the overwhelming lotus flowers began to spread in all directions like a tidal wave. Later, when countless ghosts and ghosts touched these lotus flowers, they were immediately transformed by the strong Buddha light above them, and their hostility dissipated. Each of them sent out kind thoughts in their hearts, put their hands together, and joined the team of chanting Buddha.

Ksitigarbha's real body and corpse are integrated into one, and a treasure mountain floats and sinks in the halo of the Buddha Kingdom behind his head. The mountains are full of deep valleys, ravines, deep pools, flowing springs and waterfalls. It is his ashram Jiuhua Mountain. Among them, countless disciples sat in the mountains, or on the grass, or on the flying rocks, or on the cliffs, or by the stream, chanting Buddhist scriptures one by one, with peaceful faces, and gathered countless faith vows on him, and slowly stood there. A huge golden "卍" symbol condensed in the void.

For a time, bursts of strange sounds, ancient, mysterious, and cadenced, seemed to come from ancient times, as if the infinite Taoist sounds from the beginning of the world, spread throughout the entire nether world in an instant, and turned more ghosts into objects.

On the Wuliang Mountain opposite the Yin Mountain, Daoist Taiyi is also not to be outdone. The green lion transformed by the Nine Spirits Yuansheng under him breathes flames, surrounds the throne, and the nine-color divine light surrounds the back of his head, radiating ten thousand zhangs of light. Many immortals and warriors , the god king, the golden boy, and the jade maid guards all recited: "The ancestral energy of Yuan Yuan, the nine yangs of wonderful transformation. The ten directions of Wei De cloth, revealing its truth..."

For a moment, immeasurable green and wonderful energy gushed out from the top of Daoist Taiyi's head, mighty and mighty, as if the Milky Way was pouring down, going forward indomitably.These Qinghua wonderful qi are the ancestors of Yimu, full of vitality, capable of living flesh and bones, and resurrecting the dead.At this time, spray it on the pitch-black evil ghosts, and immediately expel the dead energy above, so that these dazed ghosts began to recover their sanity, and then they were illuminated by the precious light of the lotus platform he was sitting on, and immediately converted to Taoism. In Taoist robes, with her hair in a bun and a dust whisk in her hand, she sat upright in the void, and began to chant along with the ethereal Taoist voice.

……

In the Pingxin Hall, Empress Houtu and Empress Pingxin sat on the wall and watched, taking a sip of fragrant tea from time to time, and commenting on this dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

"Hmph, they are all filling their own pockets. These hundreds of millions of ghosts have been transformed into two schools of Buddhism and Taoism by him, and they will be reincarnated in the six realms of reincarnation in the future. I don't know how many people will be born to believe in Buddhism and Taoism..." Empress Pingxin's eyebrows twitched The brilliance of wisdom shines through, and he said with a look of disdain.

But Empress Houtu shook her head: "Even if there is no salvation at this time, wouldn't you still be bewitched by them after reincarnation? Fortunately, you and I have no Taoism left behind, otherwise how could we let them do anything!"

"That's true, but the Three Realms are so turbulent, could it be that the catastrophe is not far away?" Lady Pingxin frowned.

Houtu also had a solemn expression on his face: "It may not be a sign of the extinction of the world, it is more like the beginning of everything, but it is far faster than you and I calculated. Now that Lingshan is self-proclaimed, that person has not yet merged with the ancestral witch in the Pangu Temple. Essence and blood, hey, everything is out of our calculations..."

While the two were talking, a nine-tailed fox that was crouching obediently on Houtu's lap suddenly opened its eyes.

"This little fox is obsessed with that kid, but when he mentioned Lingshan, he fell asleep and woke up!" Ping Xin couldn't help laughing.

But Houtu said: "This nine-tailed spirit fox has some kind of connection with that kid, maybe we don't have to wait for him to come to our door, we can take the initiative to let this spirit fox find him and tell him the seriousness of the matter!"

If Ren Qinglian or Yang Chan were here, they would definitely be able to recognize that the nine-tailed fox on Houtu's lap was the jade-faced fox. It was Ren Qinglian and the two who had a very mysterious feeling for the aura of these two people.Especially Ren Qinglian, the jade-faced fox was able to become a nine-tailed fox back then thanks to his refined blood of the nine-tailed fox, which inevitably left a part of his spiritual imprint. Weiming, of course, has no effect, but after returning to its original form, this kind of spiritual imprint makes it naturally have a kind of intimacy and spiritual connection with Ren Qinglian.

The nine-tailed fox heard the change in Lingshan at the mouth of the Guanjiang River before, and secretly sensed that Ren Qinglian's situation was not good, so it sneaked out to find him.It's just that her cultivation is limited after all. If it wasn't for the empress Houtu who happened to be searching for Ren Qinglian's figure with her spiritual sense at that time, and discovered the existence of this spirit fox first, I am afraid that this nine-tailed fox either died at the hands of evil cultivators or was killed by someone else. He was caught and raised as a spiritual pet.
