Chapter 715 Anger (3)
Demon-Suppressing Ridge, eastern section.
At the northern foot of the Howling Mountains, tens of thousands of miles northwest, there is a big city.
This big city is the garrison hub and defense core of Zhenmo Ridge. When the Taoist court and Buddhist sect established Zhenmo Ridge, the first city they built was Zhenmo City.
First there was the Demon-Suppressing City, then there were the first, second, third... and so on, until the current 108 cities with the word "Zhen".
The sun was high in the sky. In a monastery in the Demon-Suppressing City, Wanxiang and a young monk wearing a cloak with his hood up, his face covered with a layer of dim light so that his facial features could not be seen, sat across a small square table from each other.
"The pressure is a bit great." Wanxiang looked at the young monk with some sorrow: "The people we sent to spread the news were all captured by Qionghua Mountain. More than three million people, and there are thirteen major forces behind them... Now, they are asking us for people and compensation."
The young monk said nothing.
Wan Xiang said softly: "Since we are allies..."
The young monk coughed lightly, and the sound was like the ringing of a jade bell. A terrifying force directly shattered Wanxiang's protective immortal light, shook his soul, and caused his true immortal status to shake violently, almost knocking down a level of his cultivation.
"Fellow Daoist, be careful with your words and do not make random associations ... You and I are just 'cooperators' who helped each other in a small matter... 'allies'? Haha, who is allied with you? Who dares to say that I am allying with your family on my side?" The young monk scolded coldly, "Even my master is not qualified to say such things, so don't talk nonsense!"
Wanxiang's face turned black.
The young monk continued, "We don't care whether those three million people live or die. Anyway, you are the ones who paid them, and you were the ones who told them to use this method to pass the letter to Fahai... This is the cost you should pay."
Wan Xiang gritted his teeth and stared at the young monk: "Well, since we are collaborators, don't you have to pay anything at all?"
The young monk lowered his head and looked at his own palms.
The skin was slender and evenly proportioned, with excellent appearance, but the color was indigo, and there was a faint layer of gloomy death lingering under the skin. That layer of death swirled and flowed, and under his hands, it continued to transform into a hideous bone mandala seal.
"As long as Fahai enters the Demon Suppression Ridge, we will consider the follow-up matters." The young monk said quietly, "As for the cause and effect between you and Fahai before... including his inclusion in the Daluo Blood List of your Hunyuan Luotian Sect? Haha, don't make a fuss about such a trivial matter."
Wan Xiang stood up in shock. He gently scolded, "Fellow Daoist, stop talking nonsense... My ancestor..."
The young monk raised his head, and there was a faint purple light in his eyes, which made Wanxiang feel cold all over. He could not say the following words anymore. He stared at Wanxiang for a long time, and then he smiled faintly and said, "So, you know nothing. As expected, a pawn is just a pawn... Why should I waste my breath talking to you?"
The young monk tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingers, making a muffled sound. He said lazily, "Okay, anyway, for the follow-up matters, you just listen to us and everything will be fine... If things are delayed, we don't have to do anything. There will always be a big shot in your family who can't afford to offend him and will rain down his wrath. You will have to bear the consequences."
"As for those little minions who were willing to be driven by you to spread rumors in Qionghua Mountain for a little bit of material gain...you should deal with this little trouble by yourselves...if it delays our subsequent matters, haha!"
Wanxiang gritted his teeth, anger surged in his heart, and he wanted to say something tough.
But when he saw the young monk's cold blue eyes, his heart twitched, all his courage disappeared, and he no longer dared to say a word of irrelevant gossip.
The young monk nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, that's it... Well, send a message to Hunyuan Luotian Sect and tell them that we need a few masters at the level of Zhenjun to first trip up the two guardian Bodhisattvas beside Fahai."
"Find a few people who are meticulous and quick-witted... find some reasonable excuses and let them move first!" The young monk's tone was filled with an inexplicable excitement and joy: "Well, in short, just listen to my orders. Demon-Suppressing Ridge, haha, now that Fahai is here, don't even think about getting away."
Wanxiang looked at the young monk with deep eyes.
His heart felt cold.
What a ghost... Originally, it was just the pursuit of Lu Yi by the ephemeral, which was not a big deal. But when it developed to this point, Wanxiang was an old ghost who had been the leader of Senluo for many years, and he found that things were a little out of control.
With Lu Yi as the chess piece, it seems that a big game of chess is about to begin.
With Wanxiang's experience, he felt that this was likely a terrifying vortex that could doom him. The chess player on his side, his target was obviously not as simple as a mere "Monk Fahai".
I really want to escape...
But I can’t escape…
Wan Xiang took a deep breath and bowed to the young monk in front of him, whose cultivation was terrifying and whose depth was completely unknown. "Yes... I will follow your orders... Uh, if there are any accidents, please take care of me!"
Wanxiang decided to give in.
The young monk narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at everything for a long time, somewhat unexpectedly.
After a long while, the young monk nodded slowly and smiled: "I am compassionate. Good, good... Daoist friend, with such awareness, will surely be blessed and live a long life. Haha, let's wait and see... Haha, haha, haha!"
After laughing a few times, the young monk nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Wanxiang, you can call me Brahma from now on."
At this moment, not only was Wanxiang's heart pumping, but even several muscles in his body could not help but twitch and spasm slightly. In fact, what did this young monk who called himself Brahma say just now?
Buddhist practitioners often chant "Buddha is merciful" as a mantra. There are more than 300 Buddhas in Liangyitian Buddhism, and no one knows which Buddha they are chanting.
But this Brahma said, "I am compassionate"!
Such a person came to the Demon-Suppressing City, colluded with people from the Taoist Court, and plotted against a lowly immortal who had just joined the Buddhist sect a few years ago... Isn't this a joke?
The sky outside was suddenly covered by a large area of dark light.
High in the sky, the strong winds collapsed, the clouds disappeared, and a clear and extremely bright sky was revealed.
An invisible force field enveloped all directions. Rays of light from the sky were forced to fall down involuntarily. Countless birds screamed and flapped their wings wildly, falling from the sky like stones.
An extremely overbearing force instantly cleared the void of a million miles in radius, and even the dust in the air fell straight down like a meteorite. Countless extremely fine dust fell at high speed, rubbing against the air, burning rapidly, and actually splashed countless flashing points of light in the air...
"This is..." Wanxiang stood in front of the window and exclaimed at the sky.
"You came so quickly... It seems that Fahai and Yinyuan really have true feelings for each other." The young monk walked to the window, put his hands behind his back, looked at the clear sky, and said quietly: "If he can't purify his six senses and give up his worldly feelings, I think Fahai is destined to die prematurely and not achieve Buddhahood."
Everything remained silent.
You have a high level of cultivation, a mysterious identity, and an unpredictable origin, so whatever you say is right... You said Lu Yi will die young... May Buddha have mercy on him and let him die quickly.
Wanxiang didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore. Now that Lu Yi was dead, the guilt on him was also washed away. He quickly found a decent cave to hide in, and practiced carefully and cautiously... With the current situation of Liangyi Heaven, he didn't dare to ask for the position of Heavenly Sovereign. He would be satisfied if he could cultivate himself into a small True Sovereign with decent strength!
Thick clouds rolled in, and the low, humming sound of Buddhist chanting echoed throughout the Demon-Suppressing City.
In the Demon Suppression City, a clear light rose up into the sky, and a clear voice shouted sternly: "Which Taoist is so arrogant? This is an important place in the Demon Suppression City, so please restrain yourself."
In a flash, a golden and pure Buddha light appeared like a peacock spreading its tail, instantly covering the entire Demon-Suppressing City and shattering the clear light that was obviously from the Taoist technique.
A gentle and elegant voice sounded slowly: "What are you talking about, Fellow Daoist Sanyang? This fellow Daoist's actions can just highlight the majestic Dharma image of our Demon Suppression Ridge, which is enough to deter the evil demons in the south... This is a great act, what's wrong with it?"
"Dingshan thief bald, you..."
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Sanyang, you said something rude, be careful not to teach the kids in the city bad things, this is the sin of your mouth... If you don't practice good words, be careful not to be reincarnated again, and be a deaf-mute in your next life!"
"Ding Shan Ze Bald, are you cursing me to death?"
"Hey, fellow Daoist Sanyang, please don't get angry. I am only explaining one of the billions of possibilities... I am practicing the correct Buddhist Dharma, and I don't have the magical power to curse from a distance. If anything happens to you, you must not look for me..."
Changing the subject, the monk Dingshan smiled and said, "I am confused. If you have an accident, you will come to trouble me. This is the specialty of my Buddhist disciples to save the souls of the wronged and evil ghosts... When the time comes, I will definitely hold a grand water and land ceremony for you, free of charge!"
With a loud 'clang' sound, a giant bell with blue-purple divine flames burning all over it rose into the sky, and with a 'huala' sound it changed in the wind, instantly covering half of the Demon-Suppressing City.
Taoist Sanyang shouted angrily, "Dingshan, the thief bald man, didn't I just steal a ginseng from you half a year ago? Today you are acting like a provocateur, so I will do as you wish... Come, let's fight!"
Monk Dingshan sighed: "It can be seen that fellow Taoist's practice is not enough. Why is he so angry? Forget it, forget it. It's all my fault. It's all my fault. OK?"
"Today, my fellow Buddhist monk has arrived at the Ninth City of Zhenzi. I, as a monk, have official business to attend to, so I don't have time to fool around with you... You are already old, but you are still acting like a child? Tsk... No wonder you can't break through the current bottleneck, it shows that you have gone astray!"
'puff'!
The extremely clear sound of spitting blood spread throughout the city.
No one knew what kind of martial arts this Taoist Sanyang was practicing or what realm he had reached. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and a huge courtyard in the northeast corner of the Demon-Suppressing City was suddenly covered by blue-purple divine fire and burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.
