353 The late Tathagata asks for a monthly pass)(1/2)
In the dark eighteenth layer of secluded earth, the yellow and turbid Wangchuan River flows endlessly.
A huge wave rolled towards the end of the earth and dropped down from the edge of the world, forming a giant waterfall about ten thousand miles high.
And beneath the waterfall is the boundless bloody ocean - the Netherworld Sea of Blood.
At this moment, in the sky above the mouth of the Wangchuan River, the leader of the Asura clan, Zi Zaitianbo Xun, stood on a ninth-grade blood lotus, with two immortal swords floating behind him, looking majestic.
"Green Gourd Sword Fairy"
However, in fact, he was very anxious and hesitant at the moment.
Facing Xuan Chengzi's "blackmail", he didn't know what to do for a while.
Strictly refuse? Scholars can be killed but not humiliated?
I'm afraid that the other party will really kill me without hesitation.
These Xuanmen disciples look amiable, but when they are really murderous, they can be more ruthless than anyone else!
He has already seen this.
His three siblings had just died tragically at the hands of a group of Xuanmen disciples not long ago, and he even took advantage of their carelessness to escape.
But if you just give in, losing face is nothing, but if you make the master displeased, you don't want to use the Netherworld Blood Lotus in exchange for yourself...
Just when he was in a dilemma, a cold voice sounded.
"This useless thing was actually frightened by just one word!"
Zi Zai Tian Bo Xun was shaken all over, and he quickly knelt down on the blood lotus, with a face full of shame and fear: "Disciple is incompetent, please forgive me, Master!"
At this moment, the Yuantu sword flashed with light, and a shadowy figure wearing a blood-colored robe appeared from it, with an ugly appearance and an evil aura.
Just listen to his cold voice: "Don't call me Master, I don't have a disciple like you!"
Hearing this, Xuan Chengzi couldn't help but chuckle, "Master, why do you need to vent your anger on your disciples?"
"What did you say!"
Ancestor Minghe's cold gaze passed over Zi Zai Tian Bo Xun and fell on Xuan Chengzi, "I am here to discipline my disciples, how can you talk so much!"
Xuan Chengzi didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Uncle Master's words made us angry. I think back then, we also shared the same sorrow..."
"How dare you mention that before!"
Ancestor Styx instantly became furious and his voice shocked everyone: "At first you used me to deal with the Demon Court, and then you tried to seize many of my spiritual treasures, and even took away my Chaos Bell! I will have to settle this account with you sooner or later!"
"It can be settled."
Xuan Chengzi smiled and said: "Uncle Master, when you dare to come out of the Netherworld Blood Sea one day, we will sort it out."
Ancestor Minghe's expression suddenly changed and he stared at Xuan Chengzi.
Xuan Chengzi's words hit him hard.
Now he really doesn't dare to leave the Netherworld Blood Sea.
Without the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, the Twelfth Grade Fire Red Lotus, and the Chaos Bell, his strength was greatly reduced, and he had no chance of winning against Xuanchengzi.
And he also knew that if there was a chance, Xuan Chengzi would definitely kill him without hesitation.
The cause and effect between them is unclear.
Killing the opponent directly is the cleanest and most efficient way.
However, although he has many life-saving magical powers and can almost be regarded as immortal, when facing Xuanchengzi, he still lacks confidence in his heart.
After all, his immortality is different from that of a saint.
The words "the sea of blood never dries up, the river of Styx never dies" sounds very powerful, but if the power reaches the extreme, it is not that difficult to evaporate the sea of blood.
Therefore, he would never leave the Netherworld Blood Sea unless necessary.
After pondering for a while, Ancestor Styx decided to endure this situation and wait until he finds a suitable opportunity in the future.
At that moment, he looked at Xuanchengzi and said coldly: "Don't you want that Netherworld Blood Lotus? If you have the courage, you can come to the Netherworld Blood Sea to get it. I'll wait for you to come!"
After saying that, his phantom disappeared together with the two immortal swords Yuan Tu and A Bi.
"hehe--"
Xuan Chengzi chuckled twice, hearing that the other party was trying to support himself.
However, for the sake of safety, he still quietly left some backup plans, and then turned into a stream of light and flew towards the Netherworld Blood Sea.
And that Zi Zi Tian Bo Xun was also restrained by an invisible force, and was forced to follow him into the sea of blood in the netherworld.
"call--"
Ksitigarbha took a long, slow breath, and the barrier in his heart dissipated.
His crisis was temporarily relieved.
While relaxing, he also felt a little lucky in his heart.
If Xuanchengzi hadn't happened to come to him to discuss Taoism, he would most likely have left the underworld to seek refuge today.
Although Empress Pingxin allowed him to save his resentful soul in the underworld, she would not protect him.
He can only rely on himself if he wants to stop the Styx Ancestor.
And he is only in the realm of Daluo Jinxian, and he is still far away from being able to fight against the Ancestor Styx.
Thinking like this, he felt a sincere feeling of admiration for Xuan Chengzi, who had just forced Ancestor Minghe to give in.
They are both Da Luo Jinxian, but they just faced the two spiritual treasures of Ancestor Styx and felt invincible.
The gap is too big!
Although Ksitigarbha has been in the underworld for a long time, due to the popularity of communication spiritual treasures, his fellow apprentices often chat with him.
He also has a clear understanding of many major events that happened in the prehistoric times.
And the protagonists of these major events are almost all Xuan Chengzi!
Therefore, he actually knew a lot about Xuan Chengzi.
According to the brothers, the most powerful thing about Xuanchengzi is that he is full of treasures.
But through this period of contact, Ksitigarbha feels that this statement is too one-sided and narrow.
Just like at this moment, just a few words made the ancestor of Styx choose to give in. This is not something that a person who only relies on treasure can do.
Not to mention the situation when discussing Tao before.
One discussion with him is worth ten thousand years of enlightenment, which is enough to show how advanced the other party's understanding of the Dao is.
While he was thinking about it, he saw Xuan Chengzi stepping on the Twelfth Grade Fire Red Lotus and passing over the waterfall that spanned the two realms at high speed. In an instant, he was over the Yin Mountain, and then he casually threw a thousand-petal blood lotus over.
"Those who have seen it have a share. I have picked seven of these Netherworld Blood Lotuses in total, so I will give you one."
"How does this make me... I am very grateful to Brother Tao for helping me, so how can I dare to accept Brother Tao's things shamelessly?"
Ksitigarbha hurriedly declined and refused to accept anything.
Xuanchengzi smiled and said, "This blood lotus is not a good thing for me. You can keep it to make elixirs or to make treasures... The ninth-grade lotus platform at the feet of Tianbo Xun should be made of this Netherworld Blood Lotus."
Made by refining.”
Ksitigarbha then accepted the Netherworld Blood Lotus and said gratefully: "Brother Taoist helped me today and gave me many treasures. This poor monk will remember this kindness and will definitely repay me in the future."
"It's pointless to say this."
Xuan Chengzi waved his hand, with a somewhat displeased look on his face, "I am willing to make friends with you because you are willing to remain silent in the underworld and save sentient beings in the six realms. It is such an act of immeasurable merit that I admire. Is it because I want to repay you in the future?
"
"Brother Dao, don't blame me, it's my words that were inappropriate."
Ksitigarbha apologized quickly and invited Xuan Chengzi to return to the palace to drink tea.
Xuan Chengzi knew that the heat was almost over, and it happened that the noise that had happened earlier had woken up Bixiao and Longji. When he looked at Jizo, he said: "Let's stop here today. If I have time to come and visit Jizo in the future,
friend."
Ksitigarbha just thought that his words just now annoyed the other party, and he was very hesitant and hesitant in his heart.
He didn't know whether he should stay or not.
The previous dispute between the emperor and the emperor caused a great stalemate between the East and the West.
Although Ksitigarbha was not involved, he heard a lot of bad news.
For example, many disciples, disciples and protectors of Western religions died tragically at the hands of Taoist disciples.
This made Ksitigarbha subconsciously wary and wary of Xuan Chengzi, feeling that he must have some purpose in coming to visit him.
But from the beginning to now, his behavior seems to be that he simply wants to make friends with himself.
Are you overthinking it?
But it's also good to be cautious.
In the end, Ksitigarbha politely tried to persuade him to stay. Xuan Chengzi heard his perfunctory tone and didn't care. He drove the sun-chasing car and turned into a stream of light and quickly drove away.
To be continued...
