At noon, the sunlight was like magma, turning into red waves that were clearly visible to the naked eye, swirling down from the extremely high sky to the ground.
The geomagnetic field nearby was extremely chaotic, and the trees had grown into strange shapes. Countless spiders, ranging in size from green beans to houses, were coiled in the woods. Spider webs of all sizes were densely packed and crisscrossed, and the entire forest was completely covered with spider webs.
Ah Hu swung the heavy pestle, releasing a red flame that burned the large spider web in front of him to ashes. He cursed and greeted the ancestors of these spiders for generations: "There are no other animals in this forest. What do these guys eat to grow up?"
Yu Dianhu raised his Zen stick and smashed a huge spider that swooped down from the treetop into a ball of rotten meat.
Meat sauce splashed and venom sprayed.
The chirping sounds of spiders could be heard everywhere, and even more soul-stirring shrieks could be heard from the distant woods. Through the dense woods and countless spider webs, one could faintly see green eyes several feet in diameter blinking in the air. It was clearly a giant spider as big as a hill looking over here.
Lu Yi picked up the sandalwood merit stick and pounded it hard on the ground.
With a muffled sound, a wave of overwhelming and heavy Buddha power spread out in all directions. Countless spiders exploded in all directions, and the sky was filled with meat paste and venom. Circles of spider webs turned into ashes in the faint golden light. The giant spiders that were ready to pounce on this side screamed and turned away in fear.
"Isn't this road right?" Lu Yi looked at the bloody waists and other people who were responsible for leading the way.
This damn spider forest doesn't look like anyone is passing by...
The three village chiefs looked rather embarrassed.
Xueyaozi took out a palm-sized round jade disc and blew a breath on it. A faint light lit up and a map of mountains and rivers emerged. However, the image was quite rough and kept flickering. Lu Yi was very skeptical whether it was reliable to use this thing to find the way.
"Well, we lost our way yesterday." Xueyaozi smiled bitterly, "Due to the thunderstorm yesterday, we missed two mountain passes and went astray. However, the mountains along the way were almost exactly the same, and we didn't notice that we had deviated from the route!"
Shaking his head, Bloody Waist pointed at the geographical map and said in a deep voice: "The map of this area is not very detailed... but the general direction is roughly correct. Go a little further and then turn southwest, and we will be back on our way!"
Lu Yi nodded slowly, and looked at Monk Du Ku, Tao Niangzi and others who were following the team.
The journey was quite rugged and difficult.
These guys were all marked by the magic light of Wutou Patriarch. Since they insisted on following Lu Yu, Lu Yu had no reason to object. Anyway, along the way, Tao Niangzi's group of girls were quite good at being human. They lit the fire, boiled water, grilled meat, and served tea, making Xueyaozi and the others feel very comfortable!
Never mind, never mind, just do a good deed and let them accompany and escort them for a while!
In these wild mountains, as long as they have no ill intentions and we can take care of them, we will take care of them.
For some reason, Lu Yi raised his head and glanced towards the sky.
The magnetic field of this mountainous area was extremely chaotic, and the spiritual power of heaven and earth was also in a mess. Above them, in the sky thousands of miles in radius, countless red and black shell-shaped clouds overlapped one after another, swirling, and turned into countless large and small cloud vortices.
Red rays of sunlight slowly seeped down from the swirling clouds, spinning towards the ground, baking the surroundings like a furnace. Large amounts of water vapor continued to evaporate in the humid forests, turning into white fog and even into terrible poisonous gas in the jungle filled with spiders of all sizes.
Shaking his head, Lu Yi reached into his sleeve and touched the Blood God's clone that was held in the green snake's mouth.
A slightly disturbed sensation came, well, the general direction was correct, Lu Yi was heading towards the mountain range where Lu Yu, Yu Changle and others were, so there was no problem.
He glanced again at Mo Qianqiu who was mixed in the team.
Mo Qianqiu nodded slowly.
This direction is also roughly the direction to the secret house. However, the secret house is deeper into the wilderness than the location of Lu Yu and others. Lu Yu can meet with Lu Yu and others first, deal with the problems that need to be dealt with, and then go to Mo Qianqiu's secret house.
Thousands of miles above Lu Yi's head, in the thick clouds, a silver ball was quietly floating.
Gu Yuanxun and several of his companions were in the hall in the silver ball, sitting around a square table, drinking fine wine, tasting various snacks and fresh fruits, and quietly watching the movements of Lu Yi and his companions in the light mirror.
Seeing Lu Yi suddenly looking up at the sky, Brother Jiang frowned slightly: "Brother Gu, could it be that Fahai noticed something?"
Gu Yuanyan shook his head gently: "That's unreasonable. I am still confident about this secret treasure of our family... But we still have to be careful. We must do well what we promised to the Lord. This concerns the future of our brothers, so we cannot be careless in any way."
Gritting his teeth, Gu Yuanyu took out a three-foot-long banner.
He shook the small banner that was wrapped in the mist and whose main body could not be seen clearly. He hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly: "Forget it, if you want to gain great benefits, you should sacrifice the basics... I will use my own luck as firewood to add fuel to the fire!"
He bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood onto the small banner. Just as Gu Yuanxu was about to shake the banner, Brother Jiang, Brother Gongsun, and several families also spat a mouthful of blood onto the banner.
Gu Yuanyu was slightly stunned.
Brother Jiang chuckled and said, "If you want to gain great benefits, you should sacrifice your capital. Brother Gu, we are also clinging to that person's thigh, hoping to rise to the top. Therefore, it is not appropriate for you to pay the cost alone and enjoy the huge profits alone."
Brother Gongsun said in a deep voice: "We share happiness and difficulties. This is what we agreed on that day!"
Gu Yuanyu nodded slowly, gritted his teeth, and shook the small flag in his hand vigorously.
The mist on the surface of the small flag suddenly became much thicker. Wisps of mist invaded the void, invaded the heaven and earth, invaded the laws of the Tao, and invaded some mysterious trajectories in the Yin-Yang Heaven and Earth.
The fate of some people and the life trajectories of some people were suddenly and gently touched.
Some ideas in the minds of many people suddenly died out, and then some new ideas suddenly sprouted, so that they made completely different decisions and choices from a moment ago, and ultimately led many things to completely different and unpredictable routes.
Less than three thousand miles away from Lu Yi, a day's journey, in a swamp, Taoist Qingnang, with a large group of elite monks from the Senluo lineage of the Hunyuan Luotian Sect, was gritting his teeth, braving the attacks of countless poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, and slowly advancing southward step by step.
A low roar was heard, and a large piece of mud rolled in the swamp ahead. A huge toad with yellow-green stripes, which was more than three miles high, as big as a mountain, and covered with countless large and small poison sacs all over its body, suddenly rushed out from the depths of the swamp. It looked up to the sky and let out several high-pitched "quack" sounds. The poison sacs on its body squeezed hard, and suddenly countless milky white venom with a pungent fishy smell splashed out like a rainstorm.
Behind Taoist Qingnang, there were at least four or five hundred monks who were caught off guard and were hit by the poison.
Their body-protecting immortal weapons made a hissing sound and were corroded by the poison, emitting black smoke. In just a few breaths, more than a hundred cultivators' body-protecting immortal weapons were completely destroyed, and their bodies were splashed with poison, with most of their bodies melting into pus and blood!
Taoist Qingnang's eyes became bloodshot as he watched.
Previously, when he was in Tieshizhai, he received the news that the exploration team under his command had been wiped out in the wild mountains in the south. It was like a bolt of thunder, and he almost went crazy. A borrowed fairy treasure moved abnormally, and an explosion directly destroyed Wanxiang's body completely, and his soul was also smashed to pieces, leaving only a wisp of spirit alive.
Taoist Qingnang was a man of patience. Faced with such heavy losses, he used powerful means to persuade the big men of the Senluo lineage in the Hunyuan Luotian Sect, and finally formed a stronger elite team than the previous one. After several months of careful preparation, he once again set foot in the wild mountains.
But this time, he still failed.
Since the group entered the wilderness, everything went wrong. There were mountain torrents, thunderstorms, beast tides, and even all kinds of strange and evil things. Just two or three days after entering the mountains, they ran into seven or eight groups of hunting monsters and fought several tough battles with them.
It had been less than ten days since they entered the wild mountains, and about 20% of the monks under his command had been killed.
Afterwards, they took the wrong road during a geomagnetic disturbance, and just like Lu Yi, they took the wrong path and ended up on the wrong route!
Getting lost is a very normal thing in the wild mountains and it's no big deal.
There is no road in the vast mountains, but if you walk enough, you will find one.
As long as you have the right general direction, no matter how you walk in such a vast and desolate mountain range, you will reach your destination one day.
However, this huge swamp that we accidentally entered had not been recorded in any geographical atlas. The number of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in this swamp was too numerous to count, and their ferocity was beyond description.
Less than a day after entering the Great Swamp, the group of monks led by Taoist Qingnang lost hundreds of people!
Gritting his teeth, Taoist Qing Nang looked around for a while, and suddenly pointed in the direction of Lu Yi: "There seem to be fewer insects and beasts over there, rush over there... Don't get entangled with this beast, this is its nest, the lives of our disciples are the most important!"
The giant toad croaked and spewed venom. Its extremely long, pitch-black tongue was like lightning, sweeping all over the sky, tearing through several layers of protective fairy light from time to time, and it would pick up a monk and stuff him into its mouth!
However, its body was so huge and the monks' bodies were so small. Stuffing monks one after another into its mouth only allowed it to barely taste a little bit of freshness, which aroused its appetite but could not satisfy its big belly at all!
Therefore, this guy became more and more anxious and ferocious. His whole body continuously released yellow-green poisonous clouds, and his aura fluctuated, and he even caught up with a powerful cultivator at the level of "Great Bodhisattva"!
The most powerful thing about this thing is obviously not its magical powers, but its huge body.
Among the monks that Taoist Qing Nang was traveling with, there were quite a few powerful monks from the Senluo lineage. They drove their flying swords, transformed them into a hundred-foot-long rainbow, and chopped and slashed at the big toad. With their cultivation at the True Lord level, the sword light could only leave a wound three to five inches deep, less than a foot, on the big toad!
Compared to its huge size, it didn't even scratch its skin!
The strange sound of its "quack" made everyone stunned and their brains seemed to be boiling. The True Immortals could still barely resist, but many of the Heavenly Man Realm cultivators who were protected by the True Immortals were bleeding from all seven orifices, and some were even killed on the spot.
Taoist Qingnang pointed out the direction of retreat. The many cultivators who were beaten a little embarrassed by the big toad did not hesitate and immediately rushed in the direction he pointed.
As expected, there were few insects and beasts along the way. The large group of people rushed through the encirclement and escaped into the large dead poplar forest next to the swamp. Even so, among the group of True Immortals at the rear, there were more than a dozen unlucky ones with weaker cultivation and poorer body protection treasures, who were rolled up by the big toad and stuffed into its stomach.
Taoist Qingnang saw the heavy losses and his face became as gloomy as a dark cloud. His mood became inexplicably bad to the extreme. An evil fire came from nowhere and rushed straight to the top of his head, causing his Taoist heart to gradually become unbalanced.
He inexplicably recalled what Wanxiang had said to him when they were in Tieshizhai before.
He remembered the name 'Fahai'.
I remembered the Daluo Blood List.
I remembered the strong murderous intention of my own head master, Feizi, towards Fahai...
He thought again, if he led a large group of troops into the wilderness this time and still failed, and failed to seize the secret residence and occupy the spiritual root of heaven and earth, and if he suffered heavy losses inflicting heavy losses on the Senluo lineage, how could he give an explanation to the bosses of the faction!
Well, perhaps, killing the bald villain 'Fahai', completing the bounty on the Daluo Blood List, and gaining the favor of the Mayfly would be a good idea?
Gradually, Taoist Qingnang forgot the main purpose of his visit and focused all his thoughts on how to find Fahai and how to kill Fahai.
“The Daluo Blood List, the Daluo Blood List… Oh, if I can kill Fahai, perhaps the master will also appreciate me. If I can become his disciple, I will be on par with Master Liexu and Master Lieque, and become a true disciple of the Hunyuan Luotian Sect… Tsk!”
In the dark, the fate of Taoist Qingnang was infected by a strange and misty air, and he gradually fell into a state of uncontrollable delirium.
These wisps of misty air even followed the cause and effect connection between Taoist Qingnang and the True Immortals of the Senluo lineage behind him, gradually spreading to the True Immortals who were traveling with him, and then gradually extended to the elite monks who were accompanying him.
The big toad was originally chasing after the enemy with great interest, but for some unknown reason, it shuddered, croaked twice in extreme fear, and crashed into a deep quagmire. Its huge body quickly sank into the mud and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In the vast swamp, the insects and beasts gradually calmed down. They hid in the mud, quietly waiting for the arrival of the next one or the next wave of prey.
In another direction, the Iron Shackle Buddha, the Dragon Elephant Treasure Buddha and dozens of their accompanying disciples were standing on a hilltop stained with blood, frowning. In all directions, there were corpses of various ferocious beasts. The bodies of these natives in the wild mountains were broken and shattered, obviously they were all crushed to death by pure violence.
The Divine Eagle Monk shook his palms, and a few drops of blood slid down his fingertips. His two palms suddenly became clean and spotless.
He clasped his hands together and bowed to the Dragon Elephant Buddha, whispering, "Master, this wild mountain is difficult to walk on, as its reputation suggests. We seem to be a little... lost!"
The expressions of the Iron Shackles Buddha and the Dragon-Elephant Treasure Buddha became extremely subtle.
Look at the composition of their team - two Buddhas, six great Bodhisattvas, and dozens of Bodhisattva masters. They actually got lost in this mountain range!
The two Buddhas looked at each other, looking a little embarrassed.
They really should find a few guides in the ninth city of Zhenzi and make some thorough preparations.
But who could have thought that this damn wild mountain range would be so difficult to deal with?
How could a great Buddha get lost?
"Brother Longxiang, that brother, his place of retreat... ahem, do you really know the way?" The Iron Shackle Buddha looked at the Dragon Elephant Treasure Buddha with some doubt.
“This… I know, I know.” The face of the Dragon Elephant Buddha was a little hot, and he murmured, “That senior brother, his place of retreat is in the Demon Slaughtering Ridge… It is an extremely majestic mountain, a famous mountain. As long as we can find a few natives in the wilderness and ask around, we will definitely know the exact location of the Demon Slaughtering Ridge.”
The Divine Eagle Monk standing by tightly closed his eyes.
Only then did he realize that his master could be so unreliable sometimes!
The Iron Shackle Buddha looked at the Dragon Elephant Treasure Buddha with a smile on his face - a native? They had been in the wild mountains for several days. They had encountered a few ghosts, but they were all without any intelligence. They killed them all... As for the natives with intelligence and who could communicate, they really hadn't encountered any!
At this moment, there was movement coming from an extremely narrow and twisted valley behind the hill.
"Listen carefully, everyone. Ancestor Wutou is a well-known ancestor-level figure in the nearby mountains. When our king sees him, he must respectfully call him Grandpa."
"That group of thief monks from the Blood Buddha Temple actually killed the Jiutou Demon Ancestor... Oh my, that was a ruthless character who once broke three legs of our king for a beautiful girl. He is dead this time, but it's a good death!"
"Old Ancestor Wutou dotes on him so much. Last time, our king reported Jiutou Demon Ancestor to Old Ancestor Wutou, but he failed to bring the case to justice. Instead, Old Ancestor Wutou knocked out all his teeth!"
"So, this time, Elder Wutou has issued a killing order for Elder Jiutou Demon, requiring us to keep an eye on that group of thief monks and find a way to kill them, as well as everyone else who is traveling with them!"
"I'm telling you, I'm the kindest person and I care the most about the younger generation. I'm here to remind you that you should stay out of the big shots' business. It could kill people!"
"Do you know what to do? Just follow my example and be a happy, cheerful salted fish. Find a sunny spot, lie down in a grass nest until dark, and then go back to the cave to have a good meal... Another day without any trouble!"
"Don't even think about taking the reward from Wutou Patriarch... Those thief monks can kill Jiutou Demon Patriarch, so killing us is a piece of cake. Even if we accidentally kill those thief monks, with the king watching us, can you get the reward?"
"Instead of fighting with blood and sweat, why not find a way to lie down more comfortably?"
"As a monster, don't take it too seriously... You've already fallen to the point of eating raw meat in this desolate mountain, and you still want to turn things around? Even if someone can, looking at your ugly appearance, are you worthy?"
The Iron Shackles Buddha and the Dragon-Elephant Treasure Buddha’s faces twitched.
The Dragon-Elephant Treasure Buddha looked at the Vulture Monk.
The Divine Eagle Monk clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to the Dragon Elephant Treasure Buddha: "Master is indeed extremely powerful. He asked the natives for directions, and the natives came to us on their own accord... Uh, this Blood Buddha Temple?"
The Dragon-Elephant Treasure Buddha smiled in an unfathomable way: "The Blood Buddha Temple in Tumo Ridge is where that senior brother practiced in seclusion... Go and get those little demons and ask them what's going on."
In the blink of an eye, the Divine Eagle Monk captured a large group of about a hundred monsters whose cultivation level was roughly in the Golden Lotus Planting to Golden Lotus Opening stage. They were just able to transform, but their transformation was not complete yet, and they retained a lot of wild beast characteristics on their bodies. Judging from their species, most of them were small monsters such as mountain mice, field mice, bamboo rats, and moles.
The leader of this group of little monsters was a bamboo rat spirit that was about three feet tall, with a waist circumference of more than three feet, and was indescribably fat, with a simple and ignorant face.
After staring blankly at the Iron Shackle Buddha, the Dragon-Elephant Treasure Buddha and other great beings whose bodies were enveloped in Buddha's light, the bamboo rat demon knelt on the ground with a thud and screamed at the top of his voice: "Ancestors, you are finally here... I am in a devil's cave, but my heart is in Buddhism... I beg for mercy, and for salvation... Our king is really a piece of shit, all Buddha ancestors, please help him to be liberated... I am willing to join Buddhism and work like a slave for eternity!"
The bamboo rat spirit rubbed his eyes hard, but after a long time he couldn't produce a single tear.
So he hardened his heart and bit his tongue hard.
However, he misjudged the sharpness and strength of his tongue. He bit down hard and bit off the tip of his tongue with a snap. Blood splattered everywhere, and the bamboo rat screamed in pain, and two lines of hot tears rolled down.
With tears and blood gushing out, he screamed at the two Buddhas: "I swear with blood that I will serve you like an ox or a horse, and never betray you, no matter what happens... I swear to be loyal to you until death!"
The two Buddhas are a little confused.
They have been living a life of luxury in Buddhism for countless years. How many years has it been since they encountered such lazy and low-rate people?
They have completely forgotten how to deal with this kind of low-level demon.
After hesitating for a moment, the Dragon Elephant Buddha said dryly: "If you can help us find the Blood Buddha Temple, or the monks of the Blood Buddha Temple... then it is possible... "
Buddha's light flashed in the eyes of the two Buddhas, and they looked deeply at the bamboo rat spirit.
Their hearts skipped a beat.
No wonder it is said that when the Demon-Suppressing Ridge defense line was set up, countless monsters and demons with the rarest and purest bloodlines were selected and sent to the wild mountains in the south to be suppressed and imprisoned.
Even though this bamboo rat spirit has such a low level of cultivation, the blood in his body is actually quite extraordinary?
However, his bloodline was obviously suppressed and concealed by some mixed acquired auras. If there was someone with great supernatural powers to comb his bloodline and stimulate his ancestral innate talent, this bamboo rat spirit... would have a bright future!
Even if I take it, as a spiritual beast guarding the mountain, it won’t be too embarrassing!
It's not just this bamboo rat spirit, but also the large group of various rat spirits behind it, their bloodlines are also quite desirable... Tsk, this wild mountain range is indeed dangerous and chaotic, but it is indeed a treasure trove.
The Iron Buddha smiled and said, "Take us to find the person from the Blood Buddha Temple you just mentioned... If we find him, I'll give you a chance, that's not a bad idea!"
The Buddha with iron shackles feels a little aggrieved.
If it were in the normal time and space of the Yin-Yang Heaven, with his means, finding a mountain, a temple, and a few specific Buddhist monks would be an extremely easy and plain task.
In this wild mountain, space is disordered, time is distorted, Taoism is muddy, and inspiration is mixed. Everything is in a mess. Not to mention the Buddha, even the Lord of Buddha has some tricks that don't work. In this wild mountain, they dare not release their divine thoughts at will, for fear of triggering some terrible natural disasters and causing unpredictable troubles.
So...if these little goblins can help them find the Blood Buddha Temple, it seems like it wouldn't be a bad idea to give them some benefits.
The bamboo rat demon blinked his eyes, looked at the two Buddha statues, and shouted a few times at the group of little demons behind him.
A group of little demons responded in a random manner, and then their bodies shook and turned into giant rats.
They raised their heads and made sharp or hoarse cries with strange frequencies and tones.
Countless strange calls were suddenly heard from the mountains in all directions. In broad daylight, ordinary rodents of all sizes came out from holes and nests one after another, as if they were fanatics who had received the decree of the gods. They chirped for a while and then quickly spread out in all directions.
With the naked eye, waves of rats emerged from all over the forest, quickly spreading the news that the bamboo rat demon was looking for a group of monks from the Blood Buddha Temple. This included the characteristics of the clothing of the monks of the Blood Buddha Temple, including Du Ku, and the characteristics of the group of young girls following them.
"Gentlemen, wait a minute." The bamboo rat demon blinked his eyes, bowed and nodded to the two Buddhas with a smile on his face: "If they are within a thousand miles, brothers will get a reply soon... If they are beyond a thousand miles, we may have to pay a little blood food, because rats beyond a thousand miles are not under our jurisdiction, but the subordinates of the other bastards."
With a reserved smile, the bamboo rat spirit laughed with his belly sticking out, "If we want to find people in this wilderness, there is no better tribe than us rats... Those big guys are ferocious, but there are too few of them... Those insects are more numerous than us rats, but their intelligence is too poor to tell the difference between a monk and a woman."
"Only rats like us have a large population, a wide distribution range, and are quite intelligent... Therefore, the mountain kings all need us brothers to serve as scout leaders to patrol the mountains and keep watch."
This bamboo rat spirit was obviously a chatterbox. He chattered on and on, describing in detail all the secret activities in the wild mountains.
For example, their king has good relations with some chambers of commerce in the town, and can often buy wine and drinks at low prices.
For example, their king had friendships with some small leaders of certain chambers of commerce. When those female monks passed by their king's territory, they would often stay in the cave where their king lived for a few days.
For example, there were grievances and feuds between their king and the kings of several neighboring families. Armed conflicts broke out every three to five months, and little demons often had their tails and claws chopped off, but there was no compensation.
For example, in the limited knowledge of the bamboo rat spirit, there are several big demons who dominate the mountains and ridges within tens of millions of miles. Wutou Patriarch is one of them, and there are several big bosses of the level of demons and evil demons who are as famous as him. There is also one above them, the evil lord who can be called the uncrowned king of the mountains and ridges within tens of millions of miles!
The Iron Shackles Buddha and the Dragon-Elephant Treasure Buddha listened very carefully to the bamboo rat spirit's chatter.
They also personally participated in the great war between Taoism and Buddhism against monsters and evil spirits. After years of fierce fighting, they finally wiped out the power of monsters and evil spirits in Liangyi Heaven.
However, the two Buddhas did not interfere in the exile of some tribes with rare bloodlines to the wild mountains and the establishment of the Demon-Suppressing Ridge Defense Line. This matter was handled personally by several Taoist saints and Buddhist Buddhas, and all matters were handled by their disciples. Great men like the Iron Shackle Buddha and the Dragon-Elephant Treasure Buddha had already gone to their own temples to recuperate and rest at that time.
They also didn't expect that in just a few years, these exiled monsters and evil spirits in the south of Demon-Suppressing Ridge would actually develop their own peculiar ecology.
Moreover, among them, there is actually a powerful person like "Evil Lord"?
According to the bamboo rat demon's chatter, the old ancestor Wutou is most likely a Buddha-level being. The 'evil lord' who can easily suppress him is probably a 'Lord Buddha'-level being?
But how could the leaders of Taoism and Buddhism tolerate the reappearance of such powerful beings among these evil demons and barbarians?
"I'm afraid it's impossible?" The Iron-Shackle Buddha muttered softly.
"Even if it is, so what?" The Dragon Elephant Buddha held the Buddhist beads and said calmly, "As long as the Brahma Wheel Tripitaka Buddha takes that step, what do we have to fear?"
"All we have to do is stop the Prison Suppressor, that's all." The Dragon Elephant Treasure Buddha chuckled and said, "Our original plan was to lure him to the wilderness and trap him for a while so that he couldn't attain enlightenment... If the Evil Lord really has that level of cultivation, perhaps we can be a little bolder and use more radical methods!"
The Divine Eagle Monk's eyes suddenly moved.
This time they came to the Demon-Suppressing City just for Fahai.
Their plan was to use Fahai to lure Monk Yuanjue, and even his two senior brothers, into the wild mountains and trap them there through pre-arrangements.
In order to protect the safety of the three second-generation disciples of the Prison Zhenring lineage, the Prison Zhenring Xuanguang Buddha was forced to enter the wilderness.
They will try to trap the Prison-Slaying Buddha, prevent him from attaining enlightenment, and make it impossible for him to compete with the Brahma-Wheel Tripitaka Buddha… As long as the Brahma-Wheel Tripitaka Buddha takes that step first, it will be difficult for the Prison-Slaying Buddha to turn things around.
But now, the plan proposed by the Dragon Elephant Buddha is even more radical!
He actually wanted to kill the Prison-Suppressing Xuanguan Buddha in this wilderness.
“Master’s plan is feasible.” The Divine Eagle Monk narrowed his eyes and said softly, “Three Buddhas suddenly appeared in the Prison Suppression Lineage. I think the Prison Suppression Mysterious Light Buddha is in a state of arrogance and complacency… If someone were to suppress his arrogance and hurt him with a punch, I think he would definitely not be able to swallow this anger.”
Monk Shenjiu chuckled and said, "To be honest, there are still some old grudges between me and Yuanjue that have not been resolved... If we can bury his entire family in this wilderness, it would be great. Even Brahma Tripitaka Buddha would be secretly delighted."
The Iron Shackles Buddha and the Dragon-Elephant Terma Buddha nodded slightly.
In recent years, for the sake of Zhenyu Xuanguang Buddha and Brahma Wheel Tripitaka Buddha, as the most likely candidates to be promoted to Buddha Lord in Buddhism, there have been open and covert struggles in all aspects, causing a mess.
Outsiders don’t know that in Liangyi Heaven, the disciples of these two seem to be very quiet.
In fact, in the lower realm, in the small worlds under the influence of the Prison-Suppressing Lineage and the Brahma Wheel Lineage, the lower realm disciples of the two major lineages had already fought each other to a bloody pulp. In several small worlds, extremely cruel "Buddhist wars" had even begun, with cities and countries being massacred. It was common for Buddhist disciples who chanted the Buddha's name to swing their butcher knives at ordinary people who had no cultivation at all.
In the past few decades in Liangyi Heaven, and in the past ten thousand years in the small worlds of the lower realms, there have been several small worlds where trillions of lives have been slaughtered because of the "Buddha War" started by the disciples of the two great Buddhas in the lower realms. It can be said that the killing is endless.
Therefore, if the Prison-Suppressing Black Light Buddha could be completely buried in the wilderness... Brahma Wheel Tripitaka Buddha would certainly be delighted!
With the cultivation of Iron Shackles Buddha and Dragon Elephant Treasure Buddha, they should not have had such "evil thoughts" and "delusions".
But once this idea came out, it was like a wildfire that could not be stopped.
The two Buddhas held Buddhist beads, their eyes flashing with murderous intent, and at the same time they revealed a wonderful smile.
They stood quietly on the hilltop from noon until dark.
At midnight, in the distance, there was a sharp sound of rats chirping.
The bamboo rat spirit listened attentively, and then muttered: "Blood Buddha Temple, Duku; Tianxiang Pavilion, Tao Niangzi; Zhenzi Ninth City, Fahai..."
"Hmm?" The Divine Eagle Monk grabbed the Bamboo Rat Demon's big ears and lifted him up: "What? The Ninth City of Zhenzi? Fahai? He is actually with the disciples of the Blood Buddha Temple?"
The bamboo rat demon shivered with fear and said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, not far away, only about 2,000 miles away, very close, very close... But, ahem, the men under the command of another bastard have also discovered them, and the news is spreading everywhere."
The bamboo rat spirit blinked his eyes and whispered, "I guess our king and the kings of the nearby families have also heard the news by now... After all, the children use their voices to pass on the message, and all rats in all directions can hear it clearly!"
The Iron Shackles Buddha and the Dragon-Elephant Treasure Buddha grinned at the same time.
The Iron Shackle Buddha said quietly, "Good, today, I have no choice but to settle the old score with Fahai about the Treasure Flame Cave."
The Dragon-Elephant Treasure Buddha said softly, "We must settle the accounts that need to be settled. However, let's spare his life. This bait is very fragrant, very fragrant... Well, he has the three Buddhist treasures of that person, so be careful and don't let him escape."
When Baoguang Gongde Buddha left that day, he left to Lu Yi the three Buddhist treasures that he used in the past. Those were important tools that accompanied Baoguang Gongde Buddha for most of his life and followed him all the way to becoming the Buddha. They had incredible power.
Although Lu Yu's cultivation was not high enough, he relied on the three Buddhist treasures. If he was not careful, he might really let him slip away.
Therefore, the Dragon Elephant Treasure Buddha specifically pointed out this matter.
Due to the incredible magical powers of the Buddha, the Dragon Elephant Treasure Buddha only dared to refer to him as "that person" and did not dare to mention the title of Precious Light Merit Buddha at all.
As for the Prison-Suppressing Mysterious Light Buddha…the two of them have been mentioning this title over and over again hundreds or even thousands of times these days!
Until today, neither Baoguang Gongde Buddha nor Zhenyu Xuanguang Buddha have announced the news that Zhenyu Xuanguang Buddha has already taken that step. In the vast Liangyi Heaven, no one knows that Buddhism has gained a powerful Buddha!
The bamboo rat spirit led the way, and more than a hundred rat spirits followed them with a chattering sound. The two Buddhas led a group of disciples and headed straight for Lu Yi's location. Along the way, the two Buddhas discussed enthusiastically how to use Fahai's little thief bald fish to lure three big thief bald fish, and then use the three big thief bald fish to lure an old thief bald fish...
At this time, to the south of the spider jungle, there was an important road between two mountains and a valley.
It took Lu Yi and his companions almost the entire day to struggle out of the jungle full of giant spiders. Except for Lu Yi, everyone else was covered in a fishy smell, especially the girls who were not good at fighting, whose heads were covered with spider silk, and they were all in an extremely miserable state.
After leaving the jungle, there is a range of mountains rising from the ground like a screen.
The cliff was dark and steep, with only a few twisted and crazy trees growing on the cliff. The height of the cliff was unknown, but it looked about three or four hundred feet above the ground. A thick dark cloud covered the upper half of the mountain. Lightning flashed in the thick cloud from time to time, and occasionally a giant bird that was burned by thunder would flutter its wings in panic, shuttle out of the thick cloud, and scream and flee into the distance.
In this steep and dangerous mountain range, there is a natural valley that is only three or five miles wide but stretches for thousands of miles, turning the natural barrier into a thoroughfare.
But this valley belongs to someone else.
A group of "elephant barbarians" who were quite famous among the "barbarians" occupied the valley at some unknown time. They even built a stockade with wood and stone in the middle of the valley, arranged some inns, warehouses and other facilities, and started the business of "collecting tolls" in a serious manner.
The average height of these elephant barbarians is over two meters, with human bodies and elephant heads. They are fat and strong. Like all "barbarians", they have no magical powers and do not cultivate magic power, but they are born with strong muscles and bones and infinite brute force. The best among them can tear apart real immortals with their brute force. Among all "barbarians", elephant barbarians are also one of the most powerful fighting tribes.
During the great war launched by Taoism and Buddhism back then, the Xiangman tribe produced two barbarian kings who were powerful enough to compete with the Buddha. They used their mortal bodies to support the Buddha's original treasure and resisted hundreds of attacks without falling.
Such a mortal body is simply terrifying, even surpassing the golden body of Buddhism.
As a result, the monsters and demons were defeated in the end, and the elephants were not subjected to large-scale massacres and cleansing. Instead, their tribal ethnic groups were preserved relatively intact, and they were relocated as a whole to the wild mountains for suppression and imprisonment.
After all, the bodies of these elephant barbarians are so solid and their blood is so abundant... Once they fall into the hands of those weapon refining masters and alchemy masters, they are like treasures all over.
After the two Elephant Barbarian Kings were finally killed, their bodies were taken away by the Thousand-Handed Buddha of Treasure Flame, who spent hundreds of years to refine them into two top-level Buddha-level fighting puppets. Now they are squatting on the left and right of the place where the Buddha preached in the past, which is now the "ancestral temple" of Buddhism, the "Falian Ancient Temple", acting as door gods.
What is surprising is that such powerful elephant barbarians are actually a mainly herbivorous group!
However, considering their physical consumption, their main food is mainly various spiritual medicines and herbs. Ordinary wild fruits and weeds are of no use to them. Moreover, their physical bodies are so strong that their demands for spiritual medicines and herbs are also astronomical!
However, the Xiangman tribe used to be ignorant of business and lazy at work. Their daily needs were all obtained by wandering around in groups, carrying big sticks and looting from all over the place.
The Taoist immortals had their caves broken into and their homes looted.
The Buddhist Bodhisattvas were destroyed and looted by them.
They were once the most famous "wandering bandits" in Liangyitian. They would rob, eat, and cause trouble wherever they went. They would not leave until they had eaten up all the resources in a place and the sea and rivers were clear. Then they would move out and continue to roam around.
Of course, this is all in the past.
Now, the elephant barbarians in front of Lu Yi had their long noses curled on their cheeks and showed honest smiles, just like the waiters in a restaurant, standing at the gate of the rough and heavy village, holding a huge sign in their hands.
'Accommodation, food and beverage, and gathering information'!
'Recover from injuries, escape, provide bodyguards'!
'Casinos, brothels, and exotic customs'!
'Department stores, rare treasures, everything'!
Next to the dozen or so elephant barbarians standing in a row, there were several large wooden boards polished from square logs, on which were lines of large characters painted with black paint.
Here, the prices of various services in the village are clearly marked.
The entrance fee is charged according to the level of cultivation, such as how many immortal crystals a person needs, or a certain number of spiritual medicines of a certain age.
Tea fee, how many immortal crystals or spiritual medicines are needed for a bowl of top-grade spiritual tea, and what is the price of mid-grade and low-grade spiritual tea.
Accommodation fees include a certain amount for the upper room, a certain amount for the middle room, a lower room, a large dormitory, or setting up a tent in the wild.
If one encounters a strong enemy and is defeated and has to flee for his life and recuperate in the village, how many fairy crystals or elixirs will be needed every day for the village to provide "public" security? If one needs to provide close protection by several Xiangman masters, how many fairy crystals and elixirs will be needed? If the village needs to provide top masters to kill the pursuing enemies, how much will it cost?
Well, there is also extremely thoughtful customized service.
As long as you like any young girl or wife from the various demons and monsters living in the mountains within a hundred thousand miles of the surrounding area and as long as you can pay the price, this group of elephant barbarians will help you travel thousands of miles and send them to your bed.
Even if she is the wife of the most powerful mountain kings within a hundred thousand miles, the Xiangman of this village is confident that he can get her for you - of course, you have to pay extra!
If you don't want to spend too much fairy crystals and elixirs, but are a little angry, there are big, fat and muscular girls in the village who can provide you with exotic and wild fun, which is enough to make you spend a wonderful night that you will remember for the rest of your life!
What made Lu Yi speechless was that on the last large wooden board, there was a long line of words written in blood-red paint - in the village, the bones of a fallen Xiangman master were for sale, and the prices were clearly marked according to their strength during their lifetime. Past masters of refining and alchemy are welcome to choose from them!
There are even powerful Xiangman masters in the village who are selling their "life essence and blood" at high prices. This is the best material for refining various Buddhist body-tempering pills!
If the price is right, this village has the channels to provide even the life essence and blood of a Barbarian King-level powerhouse.
"This..." Looking at these elephant barbarians with smiling faces, Xueyaozi and his group were also confused.
Although the Elephant Barbarians are powerful, they have difficulty reproducing and have an astonishing appetite, so they live in the deepest parts of the wild mountains and are rarely encountered in the outer areas.
At least Xueyaozi and his companions had been hanging around in the wild mountains for so many years, but this was the first time they encountered the legendary elephant barbarians in their lives.
They were lost this time and stumbled here by accident... They really didn't expect that the legendary vicious and cruel Xiangman would actually set up a serious village, collect tolls, and do serious business?
"They used to rely on robbing!" Thorn Finger muttered in astonishment.
An elephant waiter clapped his big ears and laughed, "Our military advisor said that it is faster to find a main road and collect money on the spot than to rob. It also saves time and effort... Hey, do you want to enter the village? If you enter, you will be a VIP. If you pay, you can get everything you want. If you don't enter, this road is blocked. Please turn around and go wherever you want!"
He raised his head and looked at the sky. He laughed, "But, looking at the sky, if you turn back now, I'm afraid you will have to spend the night in the spider forest, toad swamp, or giant snake desert... Hehe, that won't be a pleasant experience!"
"It's different in our village. We have large, solid stone houses, big log beds where we can roll around as much as we want, hot soup, wild fruit wine, and girls with great figures to accompany us while we eat and drink... Hey, it's so fun!"
Lu Yi took a deep look at the waiters and chuckled, "Your military advisor is quite talented. Well, let's just rest in the village for a night... Uh, what Toad Swamp and Giant Snake Desert are you talking about... In other words, do you have a geographical atlas of the nearby area?"
The waiter nodded hastily, his big nose wagging up and down: "Yes, yes, we have geographical atlases covering tens of millions of miles around... but the price... hey, it's a bit expensive!"
A group of little elephants were laughing happily.
At this moment, a rapid sound of breaking through the air came from behind. A large piece of light, at a height of three to five feet above the ground, was quite messy and rushed over in a panic, like a fish that had escaped the net.
When they saw Lu Yi and the others, and then saw the towering stone wall of the village in front of them, large pieces of light fell to the ground.
Taoist Qing Nang showed up, took a breath, and looked at the Xiangman waiters in astonishment: "Are you guys blocking the road and robbing people?"
When his eyes swept over Lu Yi, Taoist Qingnang was slightly stunned.
