In front of the huge single-body Buddhist temple, there is a square shining with dark golden light, on which stands a huge three-legged golden toad.
This three-legged golden toad was covered with money patterns, and each line shone with a magnificent light. From time to time, huge halos with money patterns of a hundred miles in diameter rose into the sky and crashed into the chaotic tides in all directions with a dull thunderous sound.
When the golden halo collided with the chaos, there was a loud bang, and a large area of ​​chaotic tide was blown to pieces, from which countless large and small metal fragments were derived, "ding ding dang dang" falling towards the Buddhist temple like a rainstorm, and were swallowed up by the golden toad with its mouth wide open.
Dafeitian just smiled and said nothing.
Baoguang Gongde Buddha put his hands together and bowed to the temple: "I didn't expect that you are here too, brother."
The Buddha Hall suddenly stopped in the chaos tide, and circles of black and golden Buddha light surged in all directions, stabilizing a large area of ​​chaos. The three-legged golden toad's body squirmed, creating ripples like mercury, and finally turned into a fat monk with a round head, big ears, and a fat and round belly.
With money-streaks all over his face and body, the great monk returned the greeting to the Buddha of Precious Light Merit: "Monk, here I come... Senior Brother Baoguang runs fast enough... Hey, I am the monk Pocket, nice to meet Senior Dafeitian!"
Da Feitian nodded towards the big monk and said, "Pocket Monk, I didn't see you before, but you have become quite famous in recent years... Can you hold everything in the world with such a big mouth?"
The Pocket Monk smiled naively: "That's not the case. Although I have a big mouth and a wide belly, to be honest, if it's not something valuable, how can I swallow it carelessly? Hey, look at the treasures I swallowed just now, they are all good things... In Liangyi Heaven, all of them are top-grade forging materials!"
Master Bai Yang at the side coughed lightly and said, "Daoyou Koubei, don't be in a hurry to chat. Look at Daoyou Baoding..."
The Pocket Monk laughed, his eyes widened, and looked at the Baoding layman who was being besieged by those strange creatures. After taking a look, the Pocket Monk scratched his head, and the money pattern on his scalp flickered for a while, and large pieces of blue-gold metal fragments slid down his smooth scalp like dandruff.
The pocket monk shook his head, opened his mouth and sucked the cyan-gold metal fragments into his mouth again.
Seeing his behavior, Lu Yi and others were all dumbfounded.
This pocket monk is also one of the thirteen Buddhas in Buddhism... However, within Buddhism, he is a character that neither his grandmother nor his uncle loves. Not for any other reason, but because this pocket monk is the only one among the thirteen Buddhas who has achieved enlightenment!
Logically, this pocket monk should belong to the "demon" clan.
Unfortunately, this supreme Buddha, who used his demon body to practice Buddhism, was protected by a great ancient Buddhist master. When that great master died, Pocket Monk had become extremely powerful and had achieved unfathomable achievements... He visited several great Buddhist masters who were in charge of Buddhist affairs at that time with a smile on his face, and occupied a throne.
From then on, Pocket Monk became a "clear stream" in the Liangyi Tian Buddhist sect!
All of his disciples are "monsters". The rarer the species, the more he likes to say "you and I are destined to be together", and then force them to become his disciples.
The Buddhist disciples of the Koudai lineage are incompatible with other Buddhist sects because of their backgrounds, and conflicts and disputes are inevitable on weekdays. Once friction occurs, several sects will join forces to deal with them.
In such a harsh living environment, ever since Pocket Monk attained enlightenment and recruited many disciples, there has been no news of his disciples suffering any harm. This is enough to show how powerful this giant demon Buddha is!
Pocket Monk has always been a solitary person who keeps to himself, and most of his disciples are of average appearance.
But this time, the Pocket Monk did not appear above the Ninth City of Zhenzi, and did not listen to the story of Mother Yaohua. Instead, he suddenly appeared here... It goes without saying what this guy's methods are.
Self-produced and self-sold, after swallowing a big mouthful, the Pocket Monk patted his fat belly, tilted his head to look at the besieged Lay Buddhist Baoding, and then said slowly: "Brother Baoding, you won't be able to hold on, right? No way? No way? If you really can't hold on... Hey, hey, I have a few new disciples under my seat. They are really rare, but they are born with weak bones... If Brother Baoding is willing to spend a few 'Great Red Treasure Flame Pregnant Spirit Pills', help my poor disciples to replenish their bodies..."
Mr. Baoding rolled his eyes and silently spewed out several flames, burning the giant turtles that were attacking fiercely until their bodies were charred. Some cooked pieces of meat fell from their bodies, were swept up by the chaos, and turned into wisps of gray light that disappeared without a trace.
Several large turtles that were burned to the point that their gray skeletons covered with blood-red patterns were exposed screamed. They found that their fierce charges and flying attacks were really unable to do anything to Mr. Baoding, so they finally used their real trump card .
One after another, the giant turtles opened their mouths, and large shadows like sand suddenly spurted out from their mouths.
Dense shadows splashed silently in all directions, and even the protective fairy fire of Master Baoding could not stop the erosion of these strange shadows... Countless fine sands fluttered down, soaking the protective fairy fire of Master Baoding, corroding his protective fairy clothes, and directly falling on his Taoist body that was filled with Taoist rhyme and densely covered with the infinite truth.
The sound of "chi chi" was heard continuously.
A trace of pain appeared on Mr. Baoding's face.
With his cultivation and realm, he was actually made quite embarrassed by the gravel-like shadows sprayed out by these strange creatures, and even felt a 'sense of pain' that was extremely unfamiliar to him for countless years!
The embarrassing situation of Mr. Baoding made Dafeitian and others smile.
The pocket monk shouted again: "Fellow Daoist Baoding? Hey, you have so much money, why are you so stingy? Just a few Great Red Treasure Flame Pregnant Spirit Pills... For you, it's as easy as drinking water or farting... Considering my poverty, can you give me a few pills?"
The Buddha Hall smashed through the chaos and moved closer to the palace of Master Baoding...
Master Bai Yang put his hands into his sleeves, and like Lu Yi and his gang, he remained silent and acted as if he was watching the fun.
A difficult big monk, an old Taoist who is wealthy but in an awkward situation... This scene is interesting!
The Pocket Monk had an extremely simple and honest smile, and kept rubbing his fat and round belly with his hands, driving the Buddhist temple quickly towards the Baoding layman. Several large turtles let out sharp whistles, opened their mouths and sprayed black gravel all over the sky towards the Pocket Monk. The Pocket Monk shouted loudly, opened his mouth, and simply swallowed the gravel all over the sky!
Swallow it!
Swallow it!
The strange attack that even the sage Baoding Jushi felt painful was swallowed by him in one gulp!
The four Buddhas including Dafei Tian, ​​as well as the sage Master Baiyang, all changed their expressions at the same time - they all remembered some legends of Liangyi Heaven at the same time. It seemed that those unlucky guys who opposed Pocket Monk, in the end, disappeared without a trace?
Were they also swallowed by this monk?
“Fellow Daoist Baoding, you… you are not really reluctant to part with your wealth, are you?” The monk with pockets smiled extremely brightly. He suddenly changed the subject: “It seems that my disciples are not so lucky to share your Great Scarlet Flame Pregnant Spirit Pill… Then, how about you and I go together to explore the Nine Lotus Treasure Boat on the Xingshang River in the ancient city of Loulan?”
Mr. Baoding's eyes flickered.
Da Feitian and the others widened their eyes at the same time. Da Feitian shouted bluntly: "Pocket Monk, what rumors have you heard?"
The pocket monk blinked his eyes and looked back in bewilderment: "The sound of wind? What sound of wind? Where is the sound of wind? What kind of sound of wind can there be? I am just a monk who is born timid, and this journey is quite risky, so... I just want to have someone to accompany me to give me courage!"
Da Feitian snorted coldly, as if smiling.
Master Bai Yang's eyes flickered, and he stamped his feet lightly, and the big white sheep moved towards the small Vajra Mount Sumeru.
Mr. Baoding also looked at the pocket monk thoughtfully, and with his backhand, a purple gas wrapped in a very bright seven-colored spark was sprayed out, which landed on a big turtle and blew it into pieces with a "bang".
Then, a lotus-shaped glass lamp emerged from the palm of Mr. Baoding.
He took a deep breath, and countless extremely fine purple air wrapped in a little colorful sparks splashed everywhere on the lamp... Then he saw the pocket monk's eyes suddenly lit up, and the giant turtles in all directions let out sharp cries, and their bodies suddenly turned into countless strands of extremely fine black sand, facing the chaotic tide all around, and were about to escape.
At this moment, Dafeitian, Baoguang Gongde Buddha, Zhenyu Xuanguan Buddha, and Chunqiu Treasure Buddha attacked at the same time.
As soon as Dafeitian made a move, all kinds of strange-looking creatures with a solemn and awe-inspiring demeanor strode out from the eighty-one layers of light behind him. These creatures were covered with brilliant divine light, like gods high above, holding lassos made of various colors of light and rolling them towards the chaotic tide, and they forcibly lifted up dozens of giant turtles.
The Buddha of Precious Light Merit simply put his hands together and smiled slightly. Countless changing and blurry Buddha lights condensed into extremely thin long needles that shot all over the sky. There was a continuous "puff" sound, and the flying black sand shadows were blown away by the long needles. One after another, huge turtles with "blood gushing out" and "holes all over" struggled out of the chaotic tide and were caught in the hand of the Buddha of Precious Light Merit.
The Prison-Suppressing Buddha of Black Light still used his old tricks. He just waved his hand and the Prison-Suppressing Buddha Pagoda flew up into the sky. An extremely heavy ray of Buddha light pressed down and dozens of giant turtles were crushed into pieces without even a sound.
The method of the Spring and Autumn Treasure Buddha was the most miraculous. He took out a blank Buddhist scripture and shook it gently towards the fleeing turtles. Countless white papers flew out and fell on the turtles. With a "hissing" sound, the turtles turned into ink paintings and were forcibly printed on the white paper.
The white paper flew back into the hands of Spring and Autumn Treasure Buddha. He grabbed the paper with both hands and pulled it gently. There was a crisp sound, and the paper was torn into two pieces. Hundreds of giant turtles disappeared into thin air.
Da Feitian casually crushed dozens of giant turtles that he had hung up and laughed softly, "Nothing more!"
The Buddha of Precious Light and Merit nodded slightly: "It is indeed very weak."
The Prison-Suppressing Xuanguang Buddha sighed softly, “I have heard of the fierce reputation of the Chaos Creatures, but hearing about them is not as good as meeting them in person. Meeting them in person… hehe!”
The Spring and Autumn Treasure Buddha smiled and looked at the lay Buddhist Baoding: "Senior Baoding is good at refining pills, but not good at killing... Perhaps, Senior, you can go with us this time?"
Mr. Baoding's expression was extremely interesting.
The giant turtles that made him so embarrassed were actually killed so easily by Da Feitian and others... And, listen to what they said?
When Dafeitian and the others said this, were they implying that Master Baoding was a waste?
The pocket monk narrowed his eyes, and his bowl-sized eyeballs instantly became as small as green beans. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, staring straight at Dafei Tian: "Hey, hey, hey, senior of the Buddhist sect, this senior called Dafei Tian, ​​hey... why don't you take your disciples and grandchildren to find a place to hide quickly, and you still have the mood to steal my business?"
Shaking his head, the pocket monk said softly, "Do you know that you are in trouble?"
Da Feitian raised his eyebrows: "What trouble do you have?"
The pocket monk patted his belly gently and said softly, "I don't really care, but some fellow Buddhists don't seem to be too happy about your title of 'Buddhism's only true disciple'... Hey, hey!"
He waved his hand gently and said with a smile: "Hurry up and go, hurry up and go... I want to establish a good relationship with the lay senior!"
Mr. Baoding's face darkened and he shouted coldly: "Daoyou Koudai, it seems that we don't have this fate!"
The pocket monk looked at Baoding layman sincerely and said, "That's not what I meant... Maybe there is, but you don't know it?"
Mr. Baoding wanted to say something else.
Da Feitian waved his hand, and several huge life essences condensed from the remains of the giant turtles that he crushed. Under the compression of his Buddha's light, a fist-sized life crystal quickly condensed.
In the hands of Baoguang Gongde Buddha, Zhenyu Xuanguan Buddha, and Chunqiu Treasure Buddha, three to five life crystals also condensed rapidly.
Master Baiyang, Mr. Baoding, and Monk Koudai all widened their eyes at the same time, looking at the life crystals in their hands in disbelief… Even the chaotic and violent chaos tides could not completely isolate the majestic breath of life emanating from these life crystals. That kind of life energy, just one crystal, could allow an ordinary Yin-Yang creature to quickly elevate his body functions to a level comparable to that of a Buddha!
But how difficult is it for these creatures in the chaos to condense life crystals from their bodies?
Seriously speaking, the probability is almost one in ten thousand. But after killing only two or three hundred giant turtles, he actually condensed nearly twenty life crystals - this... if used well, the sect can immediately have nearly twenty more golden bodies and powerful elite disciples comparable to Buddha!
The three powerful men looked a little weird.
To them, the combat power of a Buddha-level, and a golden-bodied Buddha of the 'physical cultivation' type, rather than a 'dharma cultivation' type of Buddha with magical powers, is actually of little significance. No matter how powerful the Buddha is, he will be reduced to ashes with one palm.
However, the more Buddha-level disciples one has, the more territory one can gain for one's own sect, the more resources one can vie for, the more believers one can gather, and the more incense one can gather...
In short, the bigger your fist, the larger your territory and the more resources you have!
It’s not good to do everything yourself!
"Senior is indeed blessed..." The pocket monk patted his belly and said with emotion, "It is true... No, that's not right. If Senior had such good fortune, the number of Buddha disciples under him would have been incredible!"
The giant demon Buddha, who was born with a round and plump body and a simple and honest face, narrowed his eyes and stared directly at Lu Yi: "No, no, tsk tsk, isn't all this the work of this young master? Tsk tsk, although I can't see through it, but the young master does have a pleasant smell!"
Da Feitian looked at the pocket monk with a smile: "Pocket monk, if you look at me one more time, I will dig out your eyeballs... Just go find your chance to make a connection, and stop making noise here."
With a loud 'hum', in the most central of the eighty-one halos behind Dafeitian, at the core of the vast earth, in a huge lake, a loud 'Guwa' sound rose into the sky, and a three-legged black toad with a pitch-black body and a majestic figure like a giant demon suddenly poked its head out and let out a series of crazy roars towards the sky.
This three-legged black toad is huge. Compared with the size of the surrounding mountains, it is at least hundreds of thousands of miles long from head to toe. Its body is covered with bulging and knotted muscles, and black blood veins are bulging and twisting under its rough skin. Black mist is constantly gushing out of its body, and the black mist is twisting above its body, condensing into the phantoms of three-headed, six-armed gods and demons with blurry faces.
The pocket monk's eyes suddenly widened, looking at the three-legged black toad in the halo in horror.
The corners of his mouth moved for a while, and he smiled, "Hehehe," and bowed respectfully to Dafeitian. Then he turned around and smiled playfully at Baoding Jushi: "Let's go together. At least when it gets dark, we won't be afraid of ghosts, right? Fellow Daoist Baoding, hehe, listen to me, listen to me!"
Mr. Baoding narrowed his eyes, waved his sleeves, and the giant fairy palace under his feet made a roar, smashing a large area of ​​chaotic tides and heading straight into the depths.
The Pocket Monk whistled hurriedly and drove the single-body Buddhist temple in pursuit. Between the chase and the escape, the two disappeared in an instant.
Lu Yi looked at Dafei Tian curiously.
What was the origin of the three-legged black toad that made Pocket Monk, who was obviously a very difficult and tough person, change his mind so easily?
Da Feitian smiled disapprovingly: "This Pocket Monk and this evil beast are of the same clan... However, the Pocket Monk is a treasure-hunting golden toad, and this black fellow is a Heaven-Swallowing Demon Toad... Back then, the treasure-hunting golden toad had not yet transformed and was wandering around the Yin-Yang Heaven. This Heaven-Swallowing Demon Toad intended to devour all three-legged toads to complete its own 'Heavenly Dao' and its own 'bloodline'..."
"Just before he found the treasure-hunting golden toad, I captured him alive and refined him into my life-long Buddha wheel."
Da Feitian smiled calmly and said, "Pocket Monk owes me a life-saving favor..."
Lu Yi and the others suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Pocket Monk wanted to tangle with Lu Yi for a few more words, but after seeing the three tribes of black toads, he turned around and left so "conveniently"... It's not easy to repay this life-saving grace. The Buddhist sect attaches great importance to cause and effect. I owed a life-saving grace to a person like Da Feitian, and I wanted to repay it... Tsk tsk!
Is it possible to do that without skinning him alive?
Master Bai Yang also came over and bowed to Da Fei Tian solemnly: "Daoyou, how about we travel together?"
Inexplicably, when he saw the entanglement between Pocket Monk and Baoding Jushi... Of course, more importantly, when he saw Dafeitian and others easily condense nearly twenty life crystals, Master Baiyang couldn't help but be moved.
The ancient city of Loulan is dangerous in itself, and the Nine Lotus Boat on the Xingshang River is an even more unpredictable place.
He, Master Baiyang, might not be able to protect so many disciples who were accompanying him...but forming an alliance with Dafeitian and the others was obviously a good thing.
"If the opportunities in the Nine Lotus Treasure Boat are elixirs, magical instruments, caves, secret palaces, etc., I will not take any of them."
"If it is a Taoist method, a classic, a secret book, or some other kind of experience, I would just like to take a look at it, is that ok?"
Master Baiyang straightened his posture and made his attitude clear.
Da Feitian smiled and nodded: "Good!"
So, Master Baiyang called out, and the size of the big white sheep gradually shrank, and the palace on its back also shrank proportionally. The big white sheep shrank to a length of three meters, and Master Baiyang pulled it and slowly landed on the Little Vajra Xumi Mountain, exchanging greetings with Dafeitian and others.
Little Vajra Mount Sumeru continued to move forward.
When Master Bai Yang was chatting, he made no secret of the purpose of his visit.
First, of course, the opportunity that the Yaohua Holy Mother mentioned was too tempting... The great method of disaster that could lead Baoguang Gongde Buddha and himself into the trap silently came from the Nine Lotus Treasure Boat, and there must be something even more extraordinary in it. Who wouldn't be tempted by such an opportunity?
Second, Liang Yi Heaven is going to be in chaos. Because of the promise made to the Holy Mother Yao Hua, many saints and Buddhas will not interfere with the operation of the Great Law of Disaster... That is, any living being left in Liang Yi Heaven will be inexplicably drawn into that huge vortex, with life and death beyond their control.
All saints and Buddhas, although you are not very afraid of the "death calamity" brought by the Great Law of Disaster, you have so many disciples, relatives and descendants that they cannot resist this vicious method.
Therefore, taking the disciples away to a distant place and temporarily avoiding the edge of the Catastrophe Law is the best choice!
Third, the four of Yiyuanxujing were obviously planning something. The great ancient power of Shujing, the unfathomable means, actually tore off his skin and ran to Lu Yi's Taoist temple to snatch the maternal Yin acupoint left by Empress Qionghua?
What is hidden behind this is terrifying when you think about it carefully.
Let them do whatever they want. We are too lazy to fight with these four 'fellow Taoists' with ulterior motives, so let them do whatever they want in Liangyi Heaven!
In short, it’s impossible for them to destroy Liang Yi Tian to pieces, right?
Wouldn't it be better if we wait until they are done and then everyone goes back to clean up the mess?
Even if all the indigenous creatures of Liangyi Heaven died because of the Great Disaster, and were completely destroyed by the four great immortals of Yiyuanxujing... Hehe, the people are like leeks, they will grow again after being cut. If all the indigenous creatures of Liangyi Heaven died, a group of creatures would be directly drawn up from the many lower realms to reproduce. In a few years, wouldn't the population be filled?
To saints and Buddhas whose lives are endless, these are all trivial matters!
Avoiding disputes and frictions with other "fellow Taoists" of the same level is the real important thing!
Master Bai Yang's words were unanimously agreed by Da Fei Tian and others - they all had the same reason, so Da Fei Tian and others hid all their disciples and led a group of elites deep into the Chaos!
"We monks are compassionate and value harmony. There is no need to fight to the death." Dafeitian looked compassionate and clasped his hands together, saying with emotion: "Daoyou Yaohua is striving to transcend, so give her this opportunity... No matter what those four Daoists are planning, we will not compete with them, and naturally there will be harmony in the sky!"
Baoguang Gongde Buddha and others also nodded, praising Dafeitian's words as being mature and steady, and indeed true words.
We continued on our journey, and along the way, we did not meet any other fellow travelers from Liangyi Heaven.
In the chaos, it is difficult to guess the distance and the passage of time. In short, I moved forward for a long, long time, very far, very far. I don’t know how long it has been or how far I have walked. I have seen some strange creatures in the chaos, some incredible scenes, some horrible and strange dangers, and even encountered several inexplicable attacks.
Among these attacks, two were launched by those strange chaotic creatures. Lu Yi also took action personally and killed several strange creatures that were shaped like giant whales but whose entire bodies were made of bone armor.
But there were a few more attacks where no one knew where they came from or where they went. Lu Yi didn't even see what the attackers looked like, and he was inexplicably attacked.
Fortunately, among their group, there were five great sages and Buddha-lord-level beings, and there were also a large number of Buddha- and Taoist-level masters accompanying them. This strange attack only frightened everyone and did not cause much damage.
One more thing to add - Master Bai Yang claimed to the outside world that he had five great Daoist disciples, and each of them had established his own sect and was a great figure at the level of a founder. In fact, the number of Daoist masters he brought with him this time was as high as 23!
Five people.
Twenty-three people.
This is also an old cunning fellow who is extremely good at setting ambushes and hiding his strength... Under his command, there are as many as twenty-three Taoist masters, and more than a dozen of them are usually unknown to the public!
They traveled this way until one day, a black chaotic vortex appeared in front of them.
What a terrifying vortex of chaos it was.
Compressed to the extreme, the density is a trillion times higher than the chaos tides in other places. Even a sesame-sized "water drop" may have a chaos torrent as heavy as the sun in the outside world. Here it is transformed into a giant vortex with a diameter of more than a trillion miles, like an 18-arm octopus.
In all directions, endless tides of chaos roared and were constantly being swallowed by the vortex. After crazy accumulation, squeezing, collapse, and fusion, the vortex eventually turned into a piece of nothingness like pure black!
How dark is that?
In short, even if Lu Yi tried his best to display his magical power of Dharma Eye, he could only see a piece of "pure black", as if the trillions of miles of chaos in front of him had completely turned into "pure emptiness"!
Just standing far away, under the cover of the Buddha's light and immortal light of four Buddhas and a sage, this huge chaotic vortex still gave Lu Yi a great sense of fear - it was the powerlessness and hesitation of a weak creature facing its natural enemy, it was the pain and despair that came from his bone marrow and genes when a primitive man who had just learned to use slash-and-burn farming suddenly saw a "star destroyer" appear above his head!
Lu Yu was certain that if he was thrown into this whirlpool, even if his physical body had reached the peak realm of the Ten Tribulations True Buddha, it would be completely wiped out in an instant, and he would die completely without leaving any residue.
Only saints and Buddhas may be able to survive in this whirlpool...
But how long they can struggle in this terrifying vortex is a matter of opinion... Perhaps, the Buddha, with his strong physical body, can endure a little longer and live another three to five years?
In short, there is great danger here, terrible danger!
However, in the core of this extremely dangerous chaos vortex, perhaps because it swallowed too much chaotic matter, the chaotic torrents had been compressed and collapsed for countless years, and after countless fusion and refinement, they finally gave rise to a new and strange energy full of vitality and creation in the extreme chaos and destruction!
That was a ray of white light!
A ray of white light in the boundless darkness, like a beacon in the dark night or during a tsunami or hurricane, illuminates the dark hearts of everyone.
An extremely thin line of white light shot out from the core of the vortex, and remained unshaken by the vortex's enormous suction force. It soared all the way up to an unknown height of tens of thousands of miles. Then, at a very high point, the line of white light slowly spread out and turned into a thin, trembling piece of white light that looked like a lotus leaf in a lotus pond.
That piece of white light was so thin that it seemed like it would be shattered at any time by the chaotic chaos. However, it was extremely tough. It was like an extremely solid continent suspended in the chaos. No matter how strong the wind and rain were, it remained unmoved.
Above the white light, there was indeed a piece of land with beautiful mountains and rivers.
From Lu Yi's perspective, the land mass was not very large, only a few thousand miles in size. The more marginal the land was, the more abundant the grass and water were. The more central the land was, the more it was a gray-yellow desert. When the wind blew, the sand whistled all over the sky, revealing an ancient city in the middle.
The city is only a few hundred miles in size.
But the city gives people the feeling that it is like a huge monster standing upright in front of you.
Separated by an unknown distance from the chaos, separated by an immeasurable distance from the end of the world, on the side of the city wall facing Lu Yi and his men, above the half-collapsed city gate, hung a crookedly broken wooden sign, on which were two extremely neat, simple, and powerfully written characters - "Loulan"!
That word...
Lu Yu didn't recognize this word.
That was a completely different language from the one used by Liang Yi Tian, ​​and it clearly came from another civilization system.
But the word is mysterious in itself, and when you see it, you will definitely recognize it - it directly conveys the meaning it contains, incomparably strong and crisp, like a strong giant boxer's heavy punch, which rams into your mind cleanly and neatly, forcing you to recognize it and then remember it deeply.
Even Lu Yi "recognized" the material used for the wooden sign.
It was a strange tree species called the 'Nine Lives Willow'. This willow had extremely tenacious vitality. Although it had been made into a wooden sign and hung on the city gate and had been blown by wind and sand for who knows how many years, as long as it was picked and placed in a place with water and soil, its inherent vitality would immediately burst out, and it would quickly grow from a dry wooden sign into a complete Nine Lives Willow, and then produce a lush forest.
Even in front of Lu Yi's eyes, there appeared a magnificent scene of the Nine-Lives Willow growing into a forest, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, accumulating infinite vitality, and growing all kinds of rare and precious medicines from the roots of the weeping willows!
Lu Yi shuddered and suddenly woke up from the illusion!
This is a fact.
If he really took down the wooden sign, and sent it to a good place with fertile soil and water, and planted it as a seed, it could really grow into a huge forest of Resurrection Willows, from which many rare and precious medicines could be produced.
This is the innate magical power of the Nine-Lives Resurrection Willow!
but……
A wooden sign that has been made for countless years actually has this ability?
Lu Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead.
At one side, a disciple of the Spring and Autumn Treasure Buddha, a great bodhisattva-level monk, suddenly laughed strangely, and flew towards the ancient city of Loulan with a ray of Buddha light: "Nine Deaths Resurrection Willow... Here comes this humble monk!"
Dafeitian's face darkened.
The Buddha of Precious Light Merit and the Buddha of Suppressing the Prison Mysterious Light clasped their hands together and remained silent.
The Spring and Autumn Treasure Buddha's face flushed slightly, and he raised his hand and slapped the disciple, causing him to faint and fall to the ground. He pointed his finger, and wisps of Buddha's light burst out, turning into a rope, which tied up the monk like a hairy crab.
"Focus your mind, suppress your thoughts, and don't be tricked by the things here!"
As soon as the Spring and Autumn Treasure Buddha finished speaking, everyone heard a slight "click" sound. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the big monk who was tied up tightly suddenly had several palm-sized, sandy yellow scorpions with several black lines on the surface, faintly outlining a "soul" word.
No one knew how these scorpions appeared on the big monk's body. They opened and closed their big pincers fiercely, raised their pointed tails, and stabbed the big monk's flesh fiercely.
"Hmph!" Beside the big monk, his master, a Buddha in the second kalpa true Buddha realm, twitched his face and waved his sleeves fiercely.
A strong smell of iron wafted up, and the Buddha's sleeves were like knives, sweeping over the scorpions fiercely. With a "hissing" sound, the scorpions were swept into mud by the sleeves, and turned into large pieces of earthy yellow dust.
"Buddha, have mercy on you." The Buddha put his hands together and just chanted the Buddha's name when he saw the big monk on the ground suddenly twitched and collapsed rapidly.
With a "hissing" sound, the monk's flesh and bones quickly melted away. It was as if there was an invisible valve in his body that was frantically sucking out his flesh, blood, and blood. In the blink of an eye, he was turned into a piece of human skin.
His skin cracked, and dozens of sandy yellow scorpions the size of green beans happily crawled out of his body.
The Buddha who had just taken action was horrified and moved.
The face of the Spring and Autumn Treasure Buddha is even uglier.
The corners of Dafeitian and others' mouths twitched at the same time.
In front of them, this evil scorpion from the ancient city of Loulan actually killed one of their great bodhisattva-level disciples openly... How... shameless!
Da Feitian snorted coldly and waved his right hand towards the skin of the fallen monk.
Empty, clean, and without any sound.
The essence of the monk's flesh and blood was completely devoured, and the condensed relics of the great Bodhisattva were also swallowed up completely. Even the most important imprint of the soul was swallowed up. The whole person was completely destroyed, without any residue or trace left.
Lu Yi and the others all put their hands together, shook their heads slightly, and a chill rose in their hearts.
After all, he is a great Bodhisattva.
In the Liangyi Heaven, when the Buddha and the Buddha did not take action, the Great Bodhisattva was the strongest force to suppress one side. Just like when Monk Yuanjue had not yet attained Buddhahood and was just the Great Lion Power Bodhisattva, he sat in the Lion Ridge and guarded the eastern gate for the entire Buddhist sect.
This great monk was the most favored disciple of the Spring and Autumn Baozang Buddha. His cultivation was only slightly inferior to that of the monk Yuanjue back then.
With such strength, he fell inexplicably.
In front of four Buddhas and a saint, no one could save his life... They didn't even notice how he was attacked... The ancient city of Loulan is indeed one of the three most dangerous places around Liangyi Heaven.
"This trip brings great opportunities, but also great dangers. You all must be careful and cautious." Da Feitian finally said solemnly: "Everything depends on your luck and fortune."
Speaking of the word "luck", Dafeitian looked at Lu Yi again.
The Small Vajra Mount Sumeru spewed out thousands of feet of Buddha light, like a giant ship, which, under the control of Dafei Tian, ​​crashed head-on into the dark, dangerous and endless chaotic turbulence.
Under the protection of numerous Buddha lights, the Little Vajra Mount Sumeru shook and roared, and little by little it crashed through the raging and chaotic torrent above the whirlpool, and continued to approach the ancient city of Loulan.
Somewhere far below was the dark, 'void' vortex of chaos.
Standing on the Little Vajra Mount Sumeru, one could feel that a terrifying suction force had locked onto everyone's body and soul, their past, present and future, and all the 'existence' and 'concepts' inside and outside their body.
If you relax even a little, you will be swallowed by the vortex and completely annihilated.
Except for Da Feitian who was at the helm, everyone else was very careful and collected their energy. Those who had enough cultivation gathered all their "aura" and "concepts" and compressed themselves into "the tiniest and most solid dust", not "leaking" even the slightest "information", in order to avoid being locked and absorbed by the terrible chaotic vortex.
They sailed forward like this for an unknown amount of time, or how far they flew, when suddenly the chaos trembled without any sign or transition process. Suddenly, there was a bright sun in front of them, and in the sky full of swirling yellow sand, everyone smelled a pungent odor of sand. The collapsed city gate tower suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
But at this moment, looking from a distance, the city gate tower, which is normally only a dozen meters high, has now become indescribably huge.
Not to mention the entire crooked city gate, just the wooden sign hanging above the city gate has become tens of thousands of miles long and wide, and hundreds of miles thick, like a huge continent hanging above everyone's heads.
“Incredible!”
Master Bai Yang exclaimed in a low voice: "Over the years, I have come here several times, but every time I see this city, I feel the wonder of the creation of heaven and earth, and the unfathomable power of the universe."
As Master Bai Yang spoke, the dilapidated gate in front of them, which was rotten on the hinges, suddenly creaked and slowly opened backwards. The gate, which was hundreds of thousands of miles long and wide and unknown how thick it was, opened little by little, and everyone felt a terrible aura coming towards them, the vicissitudes of countless years, the ancient ruins that had been brewing for countless years, the dying struggle, and the endless strong vitality...
All kinds of strange feelings were like an extremely clear knife, sword, hammer, or fist, attacking everyone in the face and firmly imprinted on their body, heart, mind, and soul.
Some people were bleeding from all seven orifices.
Someone groaned and fell to the ground.
Someone fainted for no apparent reason.
Some people even had their limbs broken inexplicably, with broken bones like glass and white jade piercing their flesh and skin, and crispy and fragrant bone marrow like ambrosia flowing out from the cracks.
Lu Yu's body trembled violently.
The strong Taoist charm that came to his face turned into wisps of refreshing fragrance, which seeped into his body through his limbs and pores, and was rapidly absorbed by his skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs.
The ancient imperial bloodline in his body, his golden body foundation which originally far surpassed that of other Buddhist practitioners, and the extremely solid physical foundation he built by absorbing the world's primordial fetal fluid in the lower realm... were all activated at this moment.
He had already absorbed a tiny amount of energy from the ancient Buddha relic that Baoguang Gongde Buddha obtained for him in a gamble. Now, under the stimulation of this powerful Tao rhyme, it was like a volcano erupting, and the vast and boundless energy surged and continuously merged into his body.
Before approaching the city gate, his physical strength had reached the realm of Six Tribulations True Buddha.
The moment the city gate opened, heat surged through Lu Yi's body, and his physical strength suddenly soared to the Seven Tribulations True Buddha realm.
When the small Vajra Mount Sumeru flew into the city gate little by little under the push of Dafei Tian, ​​the other companions were overwhelmed by the old Taoist rhyme that made them feel extremely uncomfortable. Many of them were shocked to the point of vomiting blood, and their internal organs suffered severe damage. However, Lu Yi's physical strength climbed to the realm of the Eight Tribulations True Buddha!
The ancient Buddha's relic was completely activated, and tremendous power surged throughout his body. Lu Yi took a deep breath, and his body emitted strands of dazzling Buddha's light like silver needles. His body continued to rise inch by inch, and his skin was shining with light. The whole person seemed to have turned into a ball of light!
The Little Vajra Mount Sumeru moved forward little by little, and Lu Yi's power was constantly increasing.
After eight tribulations... comes nine tribulations... After nine tribulations... comes ten tribulations...
The ultimate of ten kalpas is, in theory, the highest ultimate that the Buddha realm of Liang Yi Heaven can reach...no matter the physical body or the magical powers, they cannot advance even a little bit!
But here, it is chaos.
Chaos represents disorder, but also represents endless possibilities.
Then there was the sound of a golden bell.
The skin on Lu Yi's body shattered into pieces, and then exploded violently.
Most of the ancient Buddha's relics in his body suddenly melted away, and Lu Yi opened his mouth and spat out a sticky blood. With the pure strength of his physical body, he suddenly broke through to the realm of the Eighteen Tribulations True Buddha!
Master Bai Yang was horrified and looked at Lu Yi as if he had seen a ghost: "Break the limit? Break the limit of heaven and earth... This little thief bald is actually... a variable!"
On the Little Vajra Sumeru Mountain, countless old monks, big monks, and young monks were staring at Master Baiyang!
You old cow-nosed man, you are really brave to scold a bald donkey in front of so many monks!
Lu Yi felt as if his whole body was on fire. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a low roar from above the city gate, and large amounts of sticky, smelly water droplets poured down on his head like glue.
Everyone looked up and saw a golden snake head thousands of miles above their heads. The head was several times larger than the thousand-mile-high Mount Sumeru. It had its mouth wide open and was spewing out large amounts of venom and saliva, which turned into a torrential rain and fell down.
This creature only had a snake head hanging in the city gate. It was faintly visible that the deep of its open mouth led to a chaotic and complicated strange space with lightning and thunder from time to time.
The next moment, an extremely strong suction force suddenly locked onto the Little Vajra Mount Sumeru.
The surrounding void shook violently, and the void was torn into extremely fine black cracks. Along with the sharp tearing sound, countless electric lights splashed out from the cracks, turning into a huge net that locked the entire Small Vajra Mount Sumeru.
The mountain shook slightly.
Lu Yi and others were greatly shocked.
This strange giant snake head actually regarded the entire Little Vajra Sumeru Mountain, along with all the people on the mountain, as prey, and wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop!
"You evil beast!" Lu Yi's whole body was filled with energy, and his blood was surging to the point where he couldn't vent it.
He roared and punched the air with his right fist. A dark golden fist force flew out of his hand and turned into a fist mark with a diameter of one hundred miles like a meteor, which smashed straight into the huge snake head.
The snake head roared, and black lightning with turbid green lines spurted out of its mouth, striking the Little Vajra Mount Sumeru fiercely.
Each of these lightning bolts was hundreds of miles thick, coming in overwhelming numbers and landing heavily on the fist mark that Lu Yi had punched out.
One, two, three...
The fist that Lu Yi threw out shattered thirty-three lightning bolts in a row, and then was shattered into pieces by the subsequent lightning bolts.
With a loud bang, lightning rained down on the Small Vajra Mount Xumi, causing the mountain to shake violently. The terrible poison attached to the Buddha's light that enveloped the mountain, corroding it and making it make a hissing sound.
Da Feitian said solemnly, "What a vicious fellow... The last time I came here, there wasn't such a vicious creature guarding the gate!"
Master Bai Yang frowned: "What you mean by 'gatekeeper'... could it be that someone placed it here?"
Da Feitian snorted coldly: "This method..."
The Venerable Baiyang, the three Buddhas including the Buddha of Precious Light and Merit, all shouted in unison, "What a pocket monk!"
The vicious snake head suddenly heard the four words "Pocket Monk", and a hint of fear suddenly flashed in its turbid and ferocious eyes. Such a huge snake head shook violently, and the turbid and chaotic space in its mouth turned into a large mist that rose up and wrapped its entire head in an instant, ready to escape.
In a flash, a book flew out of the Spring and Autumn Treasure Buddha's hand, and a piece of snow-white paper flew out and shone lightly on the snake head. The huge snake head was sealed in the pages of the book and gently fell back into the Spring and Autumn Treasure Buddha's hand.
He pinched the white paper with both hands and tore it, then heard a scream and the snake's head shattered immediately.
In the city gate tunnel filled with yellow light, billions of lightning flashes suddenly lit up at the same time, accompanied by a piercing roar. Countless colorful flames wrapped in purple smoke exploded like fireworks, and fell straight to the Little Vajra Mount Sumeru with a shrill "chirp" sound.
"Pocket Monk, are you really related to Fellow Daoist Baoding?" Baoguang Merit Buddha laughed loudly. "Look at this ambush, it's clear that they set it up together... What benefits did you promise to Pocket Monk?"
Just when the Buddha of Precious Light and Merit was laughing.
Inside the gate of the ancient city of Loulan, near the gate arch, there is a building similar to a coach house.
After countless years of erosion by wind and sand, the originally tall building with green bricks and blue tiles has been beaten into a dilapidated state. On the three flagpoles standing in front of the store, only a few tattered strips of cloth are left of the three large flags, fluttering feebly in the wind.
At the top of each of the three flagpoles stood a figure about 20 to 30 feet tall.
The figure was completely black, like a black ant walking upright, and its head was still in the shape of an ant...but the body was completely in human form, with a layer of extremely tough and thin black shell attached to the skin, which made a constant "ding ding" sound of metal collision despite being blown by the wind and sand.
The long black tentacles on the top of the head twitched a few times, and the complex black compound eyes could clearly see through the countless thick sand and dust and see what was happening on the small Vajra Sumeru Mountain that was being bombarded by lightning and fire. The three tall and strong figures laughed strangely at the same time.
'Hiss, hiss!'
" They are really here!"
"Now that you're here, don't leave."
"Yes, yes, don't leave, stay... their blood and flesh are so delicious... that's the smell of home!"
The three figures were trembling with excitement. In their dark shells, streams of light were constantly spinning, and extremely strange twisted runes were looming. They were filled with a strange Taoist charm, which was completely different from the natural and harmonious Tao of Liangyitian. They were filled with a sense of chaos and disorder.
"Just now, those two fat sheep?" a figure suddenly spoke.
"Of course someone is waiting for them... No one can escape, no one can escape..." The figure standing on the middle flagpole laughed softly: "Be careful, be patient, wait for them to come in, come in... Don't scare them away, don't scare them away..."
"This is our territory... Leave them all here, and then, let us go back, let us go back!"
“The hometown in my memory!”
The black figure in the middle opened his arms and looked up at the turbid sky filled with yellow sand.
"The hometown in my memory... I was so small and pitiful back then... And the me now... should I be grateful to them for making me who I am... or should I hate them?"
"Well, I should be grateful to them... So, let them merge with me! Merge into one! Let their flesh and blood become my flesh and blood, let their bones become my bones... Let the knowledge and Tao they possess become my knowledge and my Tao!"
Just near the three flagpoles, across an alley, is a dilapidated building that was supposed to be a meat soup restaurant.
At the entrance of the building, the original stove had collapsed, and a half-broken iron pot was tilted on the stove. There were even a few pieces of half-carbonized firewood in the stove. One of the firewood, perhaps because it had been exposed to wind and rain for a long time, had several cracks on the small section of the firewood that was exposed to the stove, and a grass seed that had flown from somewhere had fallen into it.
The grass seeds have sprouted and grown into a small green stem.
The stem sways in the wind. From a distance, it looks like a normal three-inch grass with extremely tenacious vitality.
But on one of the tiny blades of grass, a fairy palace and a single Buddhist temple were being tightly wrapped and blocked by wisps of extremely fine sand.
Seen from the perspective of palaces and towers and single Buddhist temples, this tiny blade of grass turned out to be a giant landmass with a radius of trillions of miles. Large groups of strange-looking scorpion men were waving their huge pincers, roaring in low voices, forming a proper military formation and launching a bizarre attack towards them.
These scorpion people have strong human figures above the waist, and they include both men and women.
Their arms are huge scorpion pincers, and below the waist is a scorpion body of sandy yellow color.
Their tail hooks were shaking, and from time to time they would shoot out thin black and red poisonous rays forward, like countless arrows breaking through the air, covering the fairy palace and the Buddhist temple.
They would wave their huge pincers from time to time, causing hurricanes and yellow sands, which turned into overwhelming waves and fiercely washed the two palaces.
Mr. Baoding and Mr. Pocket stood in mid-air, shoulder to shoulder, frowning as they looked at the scorpion men who were besieging them from all directions.
From their perspective, there were at least over one billion scorpions madly besieging them from all directions!
God knows what these scorpion people ate to become so big, and their cultivation is abnormally strong - there are more than one billion scorpion people, and all of them are true immortal-level fighters, including great bodhisattvas and even Buddha-level masters.
From the violent aura occasionally leaking out from the wind and sand, it can be detected that the number of Buddha-level Scorpion Men surrounding them is at least over eight hundred!
God is above!
Before this chaotic journey, the huge Buddhist sect of Liang Yi Tian announced to the outside world that they only had more than 300 powerful Buddhas!
And here, just one Scorpion Man has eight hundred Buddha-level combat powers!
“What a sin!” The Pocket Monk suddenly raised his head and sighed, “Back then, I saw it clearly. It was Taizhen, the old bull nose from your Taoist sect, who left a nest of scorpions nearby… That was probably only about 100,000 years ago, according to the time of Liangyi Heaven.”
"Look, look, has this caused trouble?"
"Liang Yi Tian has only existed for a short period of 100,000 years, and I don't know how many years have passed here... How come these guys have become so scary?"
"A billion True Immortals are not scary. Even if there were a hundred or a thousand times more, it would be useless to see the reckless behavior of these stupid scorpions!"
“But, eight hundred Buddhas!”
"What a sin."
The Pocket Monk suddenly asked Mr. Baoding in a serious tone, "Do you think there will be eighty saints or eighty Buddha-level aliens waiting here to ambush us?"
Baoding Lay Buddhist looked at Pocket Monk in horror: "Daoyou, please be careful with your words!"
Before he finished his words, an extremely thick, golden scorpion tail covered with countless blood-colored lines came straight over with a shrill laugh and hit Baoding Jushi's immortal palace hard.
With a loud bang, the fairy palace's protective fairy formation was shattered into pieces, and a side hall of the fairy palace was even shaken to collapse on the spot, exploded into countless broken bricks and tiles that scattered all over the ground.
Mr. Baoding was shocked.
Pocket Monk suddenly covered his mouth.
I don’t know whether there are eighty of them, but the one who just launched the attack is definitely a terrifying and powerful being of the same level as them!
It has only been a hundred thousand years in Liangyi Heaven... Could it be that a nest of little scorpions that were abandoned here for 'experiments' actually gave birth to a terrifying existence at the level of a sage or Buddha?
Is this fair?
The blazing wind howled and rolled up high and high.
A girl, no more than six feet tall, with a body that was ninety-nine percent of a normal human form, with her body exposed except for a scorpion tail three to five times longer than her body, swaying from side to side behind her butt. She had a fierce and intimidating aura and walked slowly towards this side, step by step, on the wind and sand.
The girl was quite pretty and elegant, even according to Liang Yi Tian's aesthetic standards, she was a stunningly beautiful woman.
Especially her long dark golden hair and three bloody golden stripes on her cheeks, which gave her a strong wild appeal...
She was chewing something with a "crunch, crunch" sound, her rosy lips moving slightly. She chewed all the way to the front of the two fairy palaces and Buddhist temples, looking up and down at Mr. Baoding and Mr. Pocket with curiosity.
Behind the two of them, a large group of their disciples walked out.
Behind Mr. Baoding, stood more than a dozen Taoist master-level disciples.
Behind the Pocket Monk, more than thirty Buddha-level monks with tall and short bodies and rough faces emerged.
They all looked at this pretty girl with surprise in their eyes.
When the girl appeared, countless scorpion men from all directions had stopped their attacks, and low roars continued. Large groups of strong scorpion men whose strength had reached the Buddha realm and whose bodies were a circle larger than their counterparts gathered together in a hurry, with flattering and fawning smiles, and bowed to the girl repeatedly!
Well, it’s not subordinates versus superiors.
It is not the younger generation versus the elder generation.
It was pure, the unique feeling of mature male creatures in spring when they face excellent members of the opposite sex, when their blood and essence rush to their heads, and that despicable smile called "dog licking" fills every wrinkle and every pore on the faces of these scorpion men!
They pushed and shoved each other, bumped into each other, and tore at each other, making a mess around the girl.
The girl was too lazy to look at these scorpion guys.
She looked up and down at the fat and muscular Pocket Monk with a round belly for a long time, and finally nodded with satisfaction: "Very strong... and you are worthy of me... Baldy, mate with me... With me, give birth to a nest of strong little scorpions!"
Gently touching her belly, the girl said frankly: "You are so strong. After you and I are paired, I will eat you. Your flesh and blood will definitely provide enough nutrients for our child!"
The corner of Baoding's mouth curled up.
The pocket monk's face suddenly drooped: "Buddha have mercy... Girl, where is your shame?"
