The strong wind gradually subsided and the golden light gradually dispersed.
There was silence in front of the Demon Suppression Tower.
Deadly silence, you can hear a pin drop!
On the dusty ground, Gongmen Tianyu, dressed in a red cassock, lay on the ground three feet away from Ye Wushuang like a dead dog; his bald head with a ring scar, covered with blood mist and mud, rolled over.
Falling at Ye Wushuang's feet.
No breath at all!
dead...
Gongmen Tianyu, who had dominated the Eastern Wilderness Continent for thousands of years and served as a master for three to five thousand years, a peak warrior in the Xuan Realm and a great Zen master of Buddhism, died like this.
Danying is annihilated and the corpse is separated.
No body left alive!
Except for Lin Ruo'er and Chu Yuntian, these two guys have long been used to seeing disturbances because they have been with Ye Wushuang for nearly half a year. They are accustomed to this kind of thing and don't react too much.
Gongsun Zhengning, Sikong Yuanlong, You Hongyi, Shihuashan, Mu Pei, Chi Tian and other six great imperial warriors, the dozens of remaining imperial warriors around them, and Tao Jingyuan, who had collapsed on the ground but had not yet gotten up, were all stunned at this moment.
His face was stunned, frozen in place as if petrified!
All of this seems to have happened for a long time, but in fact, it only took a few hours.
But in just a few short hours, what happened was too weird, too terrifying, and too unbelievable!
First, Gongsun Hongyu, the first great kingdom of the Eastern Wasteland, which had fallen for five thousand years, and the founder of the Tianyuan Kingdom, came back from the dead.
Immediately afterwards, the remnant soul of Yin Zu Nangong Yun, who had disappeared for nearly ten thousand years, emerged and reappeared in the world.
Then, Gongmen Tianyu, who had been friends with the Lord of the Supreme Kingdom for hundreds of years and had been the Lord of the Martial Arts Kingdom for thousands of years, suddenly became a Buddhist monk and practiced evil Buddhist techniques.
In the end, the boy from the empire, who had not been taken seriously by any lord of the kingdom, was killed easily and his body was separated!
You must know that at this moment, Ye Wushuang is just a warrior in the late stage of the Beginning Realm in the eyes of everyone. At most, he has reached the stage of Dzogchen, half-stepped into the Xuanjing, and is not even half a step into the Xuanying.
But one sword shocked the whole audience, and three swords killed the Zen master!
At this moment, Gongsun Zhengning, Sikong Yuanlong and others finally understood why a mere maidservant beside Ye Wushuang was able to defeat all six of them, the top warriors of the Great Kingdom and the top forces in the Eastern Barren Continent.
.
Not because they were injured, but because the other party was abnormal!
Abnormally terrifying!
He is still young and has only the beginning level of cultivation, but he is able to overpower Tao Jingyuan who is in the Illusion Realm and kill Gongmen Tianyu who is both a Buddhist and a martial artist.
This is not a perversion, what is it?
Buzz...
Just when everyone was dumbfounded, Gongmen Tianyu's body without his head suddenly trembled, lying on his back and rose into the air.
It was as if something was dragging the corpse up invisibly, and it was suspended in mid-air!
"No, not dead?"
"No, dead, I didn't notice any life!"
"Non, could it be...a ghost?"
This scene instantly caused everyone who was frozen in an uproar to look horrified and retreat in panic.
"Master!"
Lin Ruo'er's pretty face changed slightly and she exclaimed. She didn't care about Gongsun Zhengning and the others anymore, so she stepped directly in front of Ye Wushuang, her eyebrows furrowed and her face solemn.
Although Chu Yuntian didn't make a sound, as he turned his eyes, he took a step forward and came to Ye Wushuang's side, assuming a protective posture!
"It's not a person, it's a cassock!"
Ye Wushuang also frowned at this moment, a look of surprise flashed across his face, but it was instantly hidden. He reached out and patted Lin Ruoer's shoulder, motioning for her to get out of the way, and explained in a low voice: "This cassock, it looks like
It is still a treasure, it has its own consciousness, and now it automatically has the thought of protecting its master!"
"The Protector of Weapon Spirits?"
Lin Ruoer was stunned for a moment, with a pretty face full of confusion.
"right!"
Ye Wushuang nodded with a firm tone, but his brows were still furrowed.
The guardian of the weapon spirit, this is just his guess.
Because he did not feel any vitality from the headless corpse, nor did he notice any fluctuations in spiritual energy.
That means that the headless corpse of Gongmen Tianyu suddenly hung in the air at this moment was not caused by human intervention.
And if it is not man-made, then naturally the only explanation left is the magic weapon behavior!
In addition to the legendary artifacts, the weapons in Tianjian Continent are divided into four common grades: mortal, spiritual, treasure, and immortal.
Among them, in addition to ordinary weapons and spiritual weapons, spiritual treasures and fairy weapons may give birth to weapon spirits under certain circumstances; firstly, they can automatically protect the master and enhance attacks; secondly, they can assist warriors and adapt to spells.
When Gongmen Tianyu revealed the cassock on his body, Ye Wushuang realized that the cassock was not an extraordinary object. It had at least reached the level of a spiritual weapon, and could even be called a spiritual treasure.
However, Ye Wushuang never thought from the beginning to the end that this cassock would have a weapon spirit.
After all, if the cassock had a weapon spirit, why was it never shown just now?
And why didn't he resist the fatal blow for Gongmen Tianyu at the critical moment?
"This cassock is actually a treasure with a magical spirit?"
Lin Ruo'er finally understood, her hanging little heart suddenly relaxed, and she stepped aside; but her curved eyebrows were still frowning.
Obviously, she and Ye Wushuang have the same doubts and confusions!
"Buddhist Kung Fu is known for its majesty. It is said to represent the most upright, pure and innocent power in the world. Buddhists call it the power of Buddha!"
Tao Jingyuan also noticed the headless corpse at this moment, and turned to look at Ye Wushuang, who was frowning. Lin Ruoer and others explained: "Buddhism, on the other hand, pays attention to crossing, not killing; it claims to have the life of sweeping away the ants and fearing injury.
What kind of compassionate heart do you cherish like a moth gauze lamp?"
"Therefore, the weapons and magic weapons refined by Buddhism generally have this property: to defend but not to attack, to save but not to kill. At this moment, the weapon spirit in this cassock must have sensed that the master was dead and his life was cut off, so he started
I automatically protect the Lord and want to save Gongmen Tianyu!"
"Since we are defending but not attacking, rescuing but not killing, why didn't the protector block the young master's third sword just now, but instead waited for the person to die before reacting?"
Before Ye Wushuang could speak, Chu Yuntian on the side frowned and questioned: "In this case, even if it protects the master now, it can only protect the master's dead body!"
"No."
Tao Jingyuan shook his head slightly when he heard the words, with a smile on his pale face, and said: "I said, Buddhism emphasizes compassion and requires salvation. Therefore, when dealing with enemies, even if it is a blood feud, they often do not kill them all, but leave them behind.
Take one breath and let the enemy die on his own; otherwise, if you fall into their Buddhist vessels, even if you want to commit suicide, it will be impossible!"
"Doesn't that mean that once trapped by Buddhist artifacts, it will be difficult to die?"
Chu Yuntian hit the point with one sentence.
"right!"
Tao Jingyuan nodded slightly and said: "It is precisely for this reason that warriors like us regard Buddhist techniques as evil arts and treat the entire Buddhist country as alien."
"Because once they catch you, it would be better if you die on the spot; but if you fail to die at that time and are caught instead, then you will really have no choice but to live or die!"
As soon as these words came out, Chu Yuntian, Lin Ruo'er, Gongsun Zhengning and others felt chills all over their bodies for no reason, and their hair stood on end. They all looked at the people around them with horror in their eyes.
Those bald donkeys from the Buddhist country are really good at tidying up!
"And if this ability is so effective against enemies, it will naturally have an even greater effect on those who practice Buddhism."
Tao Jingyuan continued at this moment: "It is said that Buddhist monks who have Buddhist utensils to protect themselves can preserve their will even if their bodies and souls are destroyed, and their Tao will not be destroyed."
"So, there is still hope for Gongmen Tianyu to be resurrected under this cassock?"
"Resurrection is impossible. The ability to bring the dead back to life may be difficult for even an Emperor-level warrior to achieve!"
Tao Jingyuan shook his head and further explained: "But having a cassock to protect the body can ensure that the Buddha's Dharma is immortal, the Buddha's path will last forever, and the Buddha's power is condensed. After a period of time, it seems that it can be condensed into a... a kind of relic called relic."
thing!"
"Relics?"
Chu Yuntian paused for a moment, seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly exclaimed: "I once saw it in an ancient book, saying that this Buddhist relic is the essence of the cultivation of the eminent monks in the Buddhist country; Buddhist disciples have devoured it.
, being able to ascend in the daytime and directly enter the realm of the relic master is simply better than any pill in the world!"
"The essence of cultivation?"
Lin Ruoer raised her eyebrows and asked doubtfully: "Isn't that the same as the warrior Dan Ying?"
"Similar, but not the same thing."
Tao Jingyuan nodded and explained: "Warrior Danying, although it is also the essence of a warrior, it is difficult for others to absorb it, let alone inherit it; moreover, the Danying is often inhabited by the soul of a warrior, which means
As a result, the Dan Ying is immortal and the soul remains; the soul remains alive and the warrior is immortal."
"But the relic actually does not have this ability. It is just a kind of energy crystallization. It has no thought and will, and no soul remains!"
I see!
After hearing this, everyone present suddenly realized.
To put it bluntly, the difference between Buddhist relics and warrior Danying is that one is public. After the monk dies, his essence will be condensed into relics for other Buddhist monks to absorb and refine; one is private and cannot be left to anyone other than the warrior himself.
Others absorb inheritance.
"No wonder, that kind of moral enlightenment can develop some secret techniques of blood coagulation, refine bleeding and soul elixirs..."
Chu Yuntian nodded as if suddenly enlightened, and subconsciously connected the Buddhist relics with the Qingyun tragedy caused by Dejue before.
After all, there are too many similarities between the two!
"The blood-burning secret technique should not be a Buddhist technique...at least, it cannot come from the Buddhist Kingdom of the West Desert!"
Ye Wushuang suddenly spoke at this moment, refuting Chu Yuntian's conjecture.
The blood-burning secret technique was found by his Taoist concubine, the empress Luo Yuheng, from a ruins of the ancient human-monster war thousands of years ago.
As for the war between humans and monsters, the human race first emerged, and martial arts first appeared; the martial arts on the entire Tianjian Continent was still in the enlightenment stage, and was not divided into three thousand avenues as clearly as it is now, let alone Buddhism, Confucianism, and music.
The difference between Tao and others!
"I have never heard of the blood-burning secret technique, so I don't know the connection between it and the relics."
Tao Jingyuan also shook his head at this moment, but did not continue the topic, but instead said: "As for why the cassock you mentioned failed to block Ye Xiaoyou's third sword, this may not be the problem of the cassock, but...
"
Speaking of this, Tao Jingyuan paused, suddenly looked at Ye Wushuang, hesitated, and said reluctantly: "The second reason is that Ye Xiaoyou's sword was too fast!"
Too fast?
As soon as these words came out, Chu Yuntian was suddenly stunned, and his eyes immediately showed astonishment.
Gongsun Zhengning, Sikong Yuanlong and others all looked at Ye Wushuang with strange expressions and helpless expressions, as if they had seen a ghost.
What does it mean if the sword is too fast?
Obvious!
The reason why the weapon spirit in the cassock did not block the third sword immediately and save Gongmen Tianyu was not because it didn't want to, but because it couldn't do it!
The whole process from the appearance of the Shadow Sword to the time it struck was less than a breath, so fast that Gongmen Tianyu couldn't even take half a step away.
What's more, it's a weapon spirit?
Even if it automatically protects its owner, it still needs reaction time!
However, even if they are the direct disciples of the Peerless Sword Emperors of the Sword Sect, the strongest sword cultivators on the Tianjian Continent cannot draw their swords so fast that the weapon spirits have no chance to defend themselves, right?
How did this young boy from a second-rate city in the Cangyun Kingdom do it?
"The emperor's three swords, one is light, focuses on attack speed; one is Gang, focuses on sharpness; one is dark, focuses on assassination. The shadow sword is originally the strongest weapon used to surprise and attack unprepared people, and is used for sneak attacks and assassinations; speed is also a matter of course.
of."
Ye Wushuang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, and subconsciously put the credit on the Shadow Sword. He immediately changed the topic, pointed at the headless corpse wrapped in cassock, and asked Tao Jingyuan: "Relic, I am
I’ve heard of it, but never seen it.”
"I'm lucky enough to meet you now, and I want to take a look. I just don't know. Sect Master Tao said that Gongsun Tianyu's body will be refined into relics by cassocks. I wonder how long this process will take."
"Yes, the relic is said to be a treasure in the entire Buddhist sect. It is valued very much by those bald donkeys. Even their own people, let alone outsiders, have difficulty getting in touch with it except for some high-ranking monks.
"
Chu Yuntian instantly understood what Ye Wushuang meant, and immediately helped change the topic, saying with a look of anticipation: "This thing is something you can only meet but cannot ask for!"
"this..."
"It takes at most an hour to condense the relics!"
Just as Tao Jingyuan was about to respond, a weak but cold voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone was startled for a moment, turned their heads and looked around.
Even Ye Wushuang, Lin Ruoer, and Chu Yuntian turned around out of curiosity.
In the exploded earth pit, Gongsun Hongyu, who was covered in blood, disheveled and with a weak breath, stood up at some point and stood in the middle of the earth pit. He was raising his head and squinting his eyes, staring closely at the suspended body.
Corpse with mutilated head!
"Ancestor!"
"Emperor Hongyu!"
Seeing this scene, Gongsun Zhengning, Sikong Yuanlong and others, who had originally planned to admit defeat, all looked happy and exclaimed.
Gongsun Hongyu is still alive and still has the strength to fight; that means that they have not lost yet and there is still hope of escaping from Ye Wu's hands!
Unexpectedly, in the face of the calls of several people, Gongsun Hongyu simply ignored them, still staring at the headless corpse, and said slowly in a gloomy and weak voice: "Generally speaking, Buddhist monks
The higher the cultivation level, the longer it takes to condense the relics; but even the lowest cultivation level of a Zen master will take at least an hour."
"However, Gongmen Tianyu's relics will not last so long!"
Speaking of this, Gongsun Hongyu paused slightly, puffed out his chest, and continued: "The brocade cassock is one of the ten most precious treasures in the early days of the Buddhist kingdom. Under its wrapper, the relics of Gongmen Tianyu are not worth ten breaths.
, it can be condensed into one!”
"It's a pity... I'm afraid you won't have the chance to see me!"
Before he finished speaking, Gongsun Hongyu's figure, who had just stood up straight, suddenly moved under his feet, and instantly turned into a phantom, suddenly jumping out!
