Yuan Kong stood in the air, took off his string of Buddhist beads from his chest, and stared at the huge dark green shadow in the barrier in front of him.
"Being able to withstand my blow must not be an ordinary barrier. It seems that Kongwen Temple has encountered an unusual enemy, but..." A trace of arc appeared at the corner of Yuan Kong's mouth, full of confidence. Compared with other disciples of Wanfo Sect,
, he seemed more assertive.
"Buddha is born from the heart, and his power is boundless - go!" He threw the beads, which instantly caught the wind and quickly became hundreds of meters in circumference. Each beads expanded to the size of a cow.
Then the string of beads whizzed away directly and hit the dark green shadow within the barrier.
roar!
Suddenly the huge shadow roared, stretched out its arms, grabbed the beads, and tried to tear them off.
"Buddha's light shines everywhere, calm down!" Yuan Kong changed his hands in different gestures. He spread his left hand flat, raised his right hand, stretched out his index and middle fingers, raised them to his mouth, and recited the sutra.
The Buddhist beads that were caught by the shadow suddenly burst into purple divine light, and the divine light instantly turned into thousands of needles and shot out.
Ouch!
The huge shadow made a painful sound, being hurt by the needles of thousands of divine lights, and his hands couldn't help but let go of the string of beads.
"Scatter!" Yuan Kong gained the upper hand and was unyielding, causing the Buddha beads to scatter and turn into one hundred and eight huge purple-light Buddha beads suspended in the air, directly surrounding the shadow.
"Fall!" Yuan Kong manipulated the scattered beads with his fingers, and followed the shadow, and suddenly the beads fell all over the sky. Each time they fell, they emitted bursts of roaring sounds, which was extremely spectacular.
Obviously, that huge shadow was the guardian spirit of this barrier. Unwilling to be defeated, it directly faced the huge Buddha beads falling from the sky and kept punching them, hitting the beads.
Under his violent attack, a dozen or so beads were hindered and were knocked backwards and resuspended in the air. However, the remaining nearly a hundred beads broke through his attack and kept falling on him.
Every time one falls, it burrows directly into its body, forming chains one after another.
Soon, hundreds of chains completely bound the huge shadow, making it unable to move.
"Bastard, I'll take you in!" Yuan Kong raised his hand to activate his magic power, and hundreds of chains were suddenly extended, pulling it toward the outside of the barrier.
The huge shadow kept roaring, and finally exploded, its whole body scattered, and the entire barrier suddenly became unstable, and countless resentful souls roared.
The foundation-building disciples of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and the two pill-forming elders immediately controlled the airship to retreat, and at the same time activated the protective barrier on the airship.
Puff puff puff...
Resentful souls rushed in, constantly hitting the airship barrier, making dense sounds, but they were still unable to break through.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Kong changed his gesture, and the Buddhist beads that filled the sky flew back quickly, forming a string of Buddhist beads again, falling around him, spinning, and the purple divine light emitted, causing the resentful souls that besieged him to be destroyed by the rotating beads.
"You, with a strong desire to kill, are not outsiders, but ordinary people!"
"The obsession is too deep to transcend."
"The world has long been filthy, the human heart is dusty, humanity has been lost, and the end of the world has come!"
The resentful soul kept singing these bewitching words. Yuan Kong frowned and felt a trace of recognition in his heart, which made him feel incredible.
"Evil beasts, you committed great crimes by killing before you were alive, and now you are still trying to disturb people's state of mind, and you are wishful thinking - Buddha is born from the heart, with boundless power - seal!" Yuan Kong exerted the power of space, directly bursting out spiritual power, and directed towards the surroundings several times.
All resentful soul spaces within 100 meters can be grasped.
Suddenly, the sound of space distortion came out, and more than 90% of the resentful souls were unable to escape. They let out bursts of wailing, were sealed, and turned into a spiritual light and disappeared into one of his Buddhist beads.
The remaining 10% of resentful souls were eliminated by Yuan Kong and his elder disciples like chopping melons and vegetables. Finally, the barrier blocking them disappeared before their eyes.
"Elder Yuankong is mighty!" Many disciples cheered. This barrier was so powerful that even a Nascent Soul monk like Yuankong spent a lot of effort to break it.
Yuan Kong put the beads on and hung them up again, fell from the air, stepped on the airship deck, and said: "Continue to go to Kongwen Temple, the rest will be your two nephews and disciples."
"Well, uncle, go and have a rest." The two Danjie elders quickly bowed and saluted, and the other disciples were even more respectful.
Yuan Kong nodded, with no trace of sadness or joy on his face, and walked into his room again.
He sat down cross-legged, took off the Buddhist beads from his chest, and recited a calming sutra, and his mood gradually calmed down.
"Hiss..." Suddenly he felt a prick on his thumb that was twisting the beads, as if it was like a needle. He stopped and stretched out his fingers to look at it.
A drop of blood oozed out, full of rich spiritual power.
He picked up the beads and examined them carefully, only to find that when he was dealing with the barrier guardian spirit, one of the beads was slightly damaged and a burr appeared, and he was injured by this burr just now.
Pull out the burrs at will, then integrate this Buddhist bead spiritual treasure into your own Yuanying, and slowly warm it up.
In most cases, the spiritual treasure of a Nascent Soul monk can be restored by relying on the warmth and nourishment of the Nascent Soul, unless it is too damaged and needs to be repaired by a specialized refiner.
Just now, the words of those resentful souls still seemed to appear on his mind from time to time, making him a little irritable.
"The Age of Dharma Ending? Huh, right now, the world of immortality is extremely prosperous. Even the Shadow Society only dares to operate in secret and does not dare to fight against the entire world of immortality. In the future, whoever is the leader among the four major sects will depend on who is stronger." Yuan Kong
He was suppressed too much in his childhood and adolescence, which caused him to feel that the whole world was not friendly to him after he gained independence and freedom.
However, as a monk disciple, Yuan Kong understands that these emotions are obstacles that hinder his practice and need to be suppressed and cleansed.
After the airship continued for another hour, it finally reached the boundary of Kongwen Temple.
This is a sea of clouds, mountains and fog, and the airship just arrived at the entrance to the back mountain of Kongwen Temple.
Because the airship is too huge, if Yuan Kong takes it away, it will take up one of his largest storage bags, which is too troublesome. But others do not have the ability to take away the airship directly, so they have to let the airship dock on the edge of the cliff here, leaving
Just let the next two foundation-building disciples guard it.
The core elders and disciples of Kongwen Temple, a group of about ten people, welcomed them into the temple very hospitably, although the sadness on their faces had not yet left their faces.
The entire Kongwen Temple is not small in area and is divided into three parts: the front mountain, the main hall cluster and the back mountain. The main core part is the main hall cluster in the middle, where the tragedy also occurred.
As a first-class sect, especially a subordinate sect that recognized the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect as its main sect, Yuan Kong and others also expressed deep sympathy for this tragic disaster.
There are thousands of disciples of Kongwen Temple. The leader, Wuwo, is a Dan monk. He was the most important person who died in this tragic disaster. He was 773 years old. Although his life was short, the fate of his violent death was still left to Kong.
Everyone in the temple could not accept it.
In addition, in addition to the leader Wuwo, there was also a Supreme Elder, three core elders, more than a dozen core disciples and other elder disciples. A total of two hundred people died. It was an out-and-out murder.
It is said that the place over at Jiufeng Mountain is much better, except that a few core elders and ordinary disciples died, and the total number is less than a hundred.
At the moment, Yuan Kong came on behalf of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect to find out what kind of force the murderer was. It was definitely not an ordinary force that dared to sneak attack and assassinate two first-class sects at the same time.
"Is it the Shadow Society?" Yuan Kong first thought of that mysterious and powerful organization. The one who could possess this kind of strength was at least a top-notch sect, or even one of the four major sects.
Yuan Kong brought an Elder of Jiedan and some disciples to meet the acting head of Kongwen Temple and others in person. As for another Elder of Jiedan and some of his disciples who came randomly, they took an airship and rushed to Jiufeng Mountain.
, Yuan Kong himself sat in Kongwen Temple and made an agreement to meet here three days later to listen to the investigation.
"Venerable Yuan Kong came to this temple in person, and Lao Na and others are very grateful." Acting Head Jiuzang saluted again.
Yuan Kong returned the gift and said, "I heard the bad news from your temple, and the sect master was extremely angry. He sent me here to investigate the situation. I wonder if the master has any clues?"
Jiuzang thought about it for a while and said: "The tragedy happened two days ago. Because the headmaster was released from seclusion, and because the headmaster had made a breakthrough in his practice, we held a fasting banquet and invited some fellow sects and disciples.
The sect is celebrating. Who would have thought that there would be a group of uninvited guests hidden at the banquet. These people are all very powerful, and there may be Nascent Soul monks lurking among them."
"Which faction are they pretending to be?" Yuan Kong asked.
"One of my subordinate sects was just a third-rate sect, called the Yuhe Sect. Afterwards, I sent people to check on their sect, only to find out that the whole sect had already been wiped out." When Jiuzang talked about this, he felt a little frightened.
Perhaps this tragedy shocked him too much.
While twisting the beads, Yuan Kong continued: "Are there any other losses in the door, such as some kind of treasure that suppresses the sect?"
"That's not true, but the dead leader, elders and disciples all had their souls taken away." Jiuzang said with lingering fear.
"Yuanhun?" Yuan Kong was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to be so cruel.
The soul being taken away means that the monks cannot even be reincarnated. What kind of hatred is there?
"Has this news ever spread?" Yuan Kong asked solemnly.
Jiuzang shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I immediately issued a hush order after learning about this situation and it has not been leaked."
"Well, you did a good job. After this investigation, I will recommend you to the leader." Yuan Kong thinks Jiuzang is a good person. Although he is a bit ambitious, he is reliable and measured in his work. He is indeed the one to take over Kongwen Temple now.
The best candidate to be the leader.
"Many...thank you, Your Majesty." Although he is the acting head, Jiuzang understands that as long as he does not become the head, he may be replaced by others at any time. As a subordinate sect of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, the head of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect
The appointment is the most important.
Yuan Kong then went alone to the Buddhist hall where the bodies of the victims were displayed, where the former headmaster and other core elders were mainly present.
The Buddhist hall was very bright at the moment, but even so, it still felt like a gloomy wind.
When the white cloth covering the body was lifted, a shriveled corpse was immediately revealed.
The first thing to be revealed was the former head of the sect, Abbot Jiwen. He was already over 700 years old and looked very old. In addition, his soul was taken away by an assassin, and he was like a piece of dead wood at the moment.
Yuan Kong condensed a spiritual power on his fingers, and a purple light bloomed from his fingertips, like a ball.
"Rebirth Curse!" As this ball-like light disappeared into the corpse in front of him, a force of vitality suddenly appeared. The abbot's body seemed to be nourished, and it actually returned to the appearance of his youth, and then he opened his eyes.
He opened his eyes and sat up.
This scene made people feel numb, but Yuan Kong acted as if nothing happened and remained indifferent.
He looked at Yuan Kong on the side and said with tears streaming down his face: "Sir, save me!"
"Now that your soul has been taken away, do you know where it landed?" Yuan Kong asked.
After hearing this, he stopped crying and said, "I was attacked by a vicious thief. This person is a Nascent Soul monk. He is extremely powerful and not an ordinary Nascent Soul monk. He has developed a skill to control resentful souls. He can use the soul as a guide.
He took away my soul. After that, my soul was sealed in a magic weapon and taken to an unknown place. But one thing I can tell is that it must not have left the eastern boundary."
"Very good. When I cast the spell later, you have to respond and let me know where you are before I can rescue your soul. Do you understand?" Yuan Kong said.
"I will definitely obey your orders, I just hope that the venerable one will come soon." After seeing and hearing these words, he slowly fell down, his vitality disappeared again, and his body became like a dead tree again.
