Chapter 595: Destiny, Blood (1)
If you hang around in the cultivation world without wearing a few disguises, you are simply not a qualified cultivator.
Therefore, after the allied forces of the sects "captured" Jianmen, a brand new hall stood tall on the ruins of the former Jianmen Patriarch's Hall. In the hall, the aroma of wine and meat wafted in the air, and the singing and dancing of birds were everywhere. Led by Lu Yu, Gu Pingzhi and others, the senior leaders of the allied forces of the sects were having a grand feast.
Beside Gu Pingzhi were the elders of the Senluo Sect, including Zhou Chuzi.
Around Lu Yu were Lu Yi, Song Wufa and other high-ranking members of the Changsheng Sect.
However, today, the 'Lu Fu' beside Lu Yu is a Taoist guardian of Lu Fu who has reached the great perfection of the half-step heavenly realm. It was created by the fusion of a drop of Lu Fu's life essence and blood, and through the use of magical powers.
Infused with Lu Yi's life essence and blood, this guardian Taoist soldier looked and smelled exactly like Lu Yi. He also carried the Taichu Huntong Pearl to conceal his aura and hide all traces of cause and effect. In Yuanlingtian, no cultivator could see through his true and false.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the group of charming and pretty dancers were already panting and sweating profusely. Many sect leaders had red faces and stared at the ragged dancers with eyes slightly straight. At this time, Lu Yu suddenly put down his wine cup and clapped his hands vigorously.
Inside the hall, the singing and dancing suddenly stopped, and all the musicians, dancers, etc. filed out.
Bright pearls flew up, illuminating the hall with bright lights. The light was so blazing that it was much brighter than in broad daylight under the scorching sun.
Lu Yu stood up slowly and said in a deep voice: "My fellow Taoists, listen to me."
Inside the main hall, thousands of high-ranking officials from hundreds of sects saluted Lu Yu one after another, and hurriedly said, "We will listen carefully to the master's instructions."
Lu Yu smiled slightly.
Gu Pingzhi , Zhou Chuzi, and many other high-ranking members of the Senluo Sect in the hall all changed their expressions slightly.
The power of the Changsheng Sect has obviously surpassed that of the Senluo Sect.
This is obviously not good for the next step of the Senluo Sect. However, there is no other way. So far, the Changsheng Sect has made the most efforts in various means against Jianmen. The father and son Lu Yu and Lu Yi have demonstrated the terrifying strength of the Heavenly Realm, which has shocked countless cultivators.
Wanxiang has never taken action in public!
In the cultivation world where the strong are respected, no matter how strong the foundation of your Senluo Sect is or how strong your backing is, if you do not display the strength that matches your status, your position will be unstable and your prestige will be a little empty!
Gu Pingzhi pursed her lips, picked up the wine cup, and slowly drank it all.
The burly Lu Yu, who was over ten feet tall, swung his eyes and swept across the faces of many high-ranking sect leaders in the hall. Countless people were swept by his scarlet eyes, and they shuddered all over, subconsciously lowered their heads, and did not dare to look at Lu Yu.
Anyone who practices the Blood Path Magical Art can already be called "inhuman", and is simply a "natural enemy" to other cultivators. Just like a tiger pouncing on a rabbit, or a poisonous snake devouring a frog, in front of Lu Yu, any cultivator who is not as good as him has a terrifying intuition that they are facing a natural enemy and may be devoured at any time.
"My fellow Taoists, you are too polite. Does this seat deserve the word 'lecture'?" Lu Yu smiled brightly: "We are all friends, like-minded friends. Didn't we join forces to overthrow the tyrannical Jianmen who bullied fellow Taoists? We are all equal, and we are all good friends. What's the point of lecture? It's over, it's over!"
After laughing a few times, Lu Yi looked at the monks in the hall and said calmly, "Could it be that what I said is unreasonable?"
Several heads of small and medium-sized sects who had taken the lead and resolutely joined the Changsheng Sect with their disciples hurriedly clapped their hands and cheered: "The leader is absolutely right. We are all fellow Taoists. How can there be any distinction between high and low? Hahahaha!"
Then, the whole hall was filled with loud laughter.
Lu Yu nodded in satisfaction: "Well, that's it. We are all good friends, so today, I will solemnly introduce to you a person who has made great contributions to overthrowing the brutal rule of Jianmen. He has made outstanding contributions and is indispensable. However, he has always been silently giving and never asked for the slightest return... a person of great virtue!"
Before Gu Pingzhi and the others could react, Lu Yu shouted loudly, "Daoyou Fahai, please show yourself!"
Surrounded by a ray of golden Buddha light, Lu Yi transformed into the face of 'Fahai' that he had used when he first arrived at Yuanlingtian. He was wearing an ordinary monk's robe, his scalp was shaved smooth, reflecting the strong light like a mirror, and he had a string of ordinary white jade Buddha beads on his hands. He appeared out of thin air in the middle of the hall.
Putting his hands together and bowing gently to Lu Yu, Lu Yu said calmly: "May the Buddha have mercy on me. I am Fahai, the humble monk. I greet the Master of Changsheng and all the fellow Taoists."
There was deathly silence in the hall.
A great elder from the Tianji Sect who was present said dryly, "Buddhist cultivator?"
Lu Yu smiled and bowed to the elder of Tianji Sect: "Well done, well done. What you have seen is true. I am Fahai, a Buddhist cultivator."
Whispers gradually began to be heard in the hall.
The voices of many heads and elders from the top 100 sects gradually became louder and clearer.
"How dare you, Buddhist cultivator, appear here so openly?"
In the end, everyone was talking about the same thing - why would a Buddhist monk who had been suppressed by the Yuanlingtian cultivation world for a full 30,000 years, and was as fearful as a rat crossing the street, and who didn't even have a famous master, appear here?
Lu Yu coughed lightly.
The hall was still filled with uproar, and it took a long time for the crowd to quiet down.
Lu Yu glanced at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi put his hands together and activated the Great Heavenly Dragon Chant. He chanted the four words "My Buddha has mercy" very slowly ... With just four words, he managed to stretch his breath to half a cup of tea time.
For a moment, the whole hall was filled with Buddha's light, and the rolling Buddhist chants were like thunder, constantly exploding in everyone's ears. Many monks' minds were churning, and their souls were shaken upside down. Many high-ranking members of the sect fell to the ground crookedly, and the wine cups in their hands were spilled, making their bodies a mess.
"This level of cultivation!" Gu Pingzhi screamed in shock, suppressing the severe pain in her mind.
"Oh, Master Fahai is also at the Heavenly Man Realm." Lu Yu said nonchalantly, "In the battle in Qianyun City, I was able to easily suppress Bai Zhu and capture all the masters of Jianmen. It was Master Fahai and a group of Buddhist monks who secretly controlled Bai Zhu with their supreme magical powers."
"If not, do you think that Bai Zhu, as the great elder of Jianmen and the only great man of the Heavenly Man Realm in Yuanlingtian in the past 30,000 years... is so easy to suppress?"
Lu Yi's loud dragon roar slowly stopped. Countless sect leaders in the hall cried out in pain and finally sat up straight with great difficulty.
They looked at Lu Yi in horror.
Just a clear whistle, and nearly knocked down thousands of sect leaders with superb cultivation in the hall... If this 'Fahai' just now was not trying to intimidate, but wanted to kill... How many people in the hall could escape unscathed?
Thinking of this, countless people's faces turned pale.
Few of them had experienced the catastrophe of that year… But thirty thousand years was not a very long time for cultivators. The sect’s scriptures recorded countless brutal scenes of the catastrophe and the horror of the Buddhist monks. All Yuanlingtian cultivators who had read those scriptures were filled with lingering fears.
Now, Buddhist practitioners have reappeared in the world openly.
And as soon as he shows up, he is a mighty celestial being!
Lu Yu looked at the hall which had become quiet with satisfaction. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Well, now, I think you fellow Taoists are in the mood to listen to what I have to say. Well, what I want to say is also very simple."
Patting his chest vigorously, Lu Yu said loudly: "I, Lu Yu, am born like this, righteous and heroic... I can't stand all the injustices in the world. What I want in this life is fairness... fairness... and damn fairness!"
"You do things, and you should be rewarded."
"You have made a contribution, so you should get the benefits!"
"Therefore, Master Fahai and his fellow Buddhists have made great contributions in overthrowing the Jianmen rule. They should get the benefits that belong to them and to Buddhism!"
Gu Pingzhi stood up and said sternly, "What do you mean by benefits, Master?"
Lu Yu didn't say anything. Lu Yi said coldly, "Of course, it is the power of our Buddhist sect to walk uprightly under the sky and above the earth. Of course, it is the right of our Buddhist sect to build temples and monasteries, recruit disciples and spread the doctrine. Of course, it is the power of our Buddhist sect to cover hundreds of millions of miles of territory, protect the believers in one area, and collect incense offerings!"
Pointing his right finger to the sky, then to the ground, Lu Yi said very directly: "In a word, it all comes down to it. Territory, territory, a big enough territory! A territory that can accommodate many of my fellow Buddhists and allow our Buddhist sect to prosper in Yuanlingtian!"
“How dare you!” Gu Pingzhi shouted, “You Buddhists are nothing but wandering souls under a cauldron, dogs that have lost their homes… Thirty thousand years ago, you committed heinous crimes, but I was lucky enough not to kill you all and let you linger on!”
"Who gave you the courage to openly show yourselves today and make such outrageous demands?"
Lu Yu coughed lightly, and he reached out and patted Gu Pingzhi on the shoulder: "Old Gu, give me some face!"
Gu Pingzhi's expression suddenly changed.
There was no way to respond to Lu Yu's words.
Lu Yi clasped his hands together, his eyes shone with golden light, and spewed out pure Buddha flames several feet long, causing the temperature of the entire hall to rise sharply. In an instant, countless monks were sweating profusely, and their souls were trembling, as if a catastrophe was about to befall.
"Why? Haha, just based on my cultivation in the Heavenly Man Realm!"
Lu Yi pointed at Gu Pingzhi and said proudly: "If the Senluo Sect has any objection to my Buddhist sect reopening its mountain gate, do you dare to fight me to the death?"
Gu Pingzhi shut her mouth.
He practices the art of alchemy, the art of alchemy... If you ask him to make elixirs or set fires, he would be an excellent hand. But if you ask him to fight a life-and-death battle with people, he is not good at it, his expertise is not suitable!
Lu Yi slowly turned around and said proudly: "The Cangling Plain, together with the original land of Jianmen... follow the trend, using the former borders of Jianmen to expand the territory of 10 billion miles outward, all belong to our Buddhist sect."
"Who agrees?"
"Who objects?"
"If you have any comments, I will take them up on it."
