Chapter 74 Encountering the devil every three times [Fourth update]
Fazen Temple.
The obese abbot stood up, his face extremely solemn.
"This "Tao Te Ching" contains the truth of the great road and the laws of the universe, which cannot be touched except by immortals and Buddhas. Who is he? Could it be that he is really the incarnation of immortals and Buddhas?"
The abbot, who had always had a stable Zen mind and was calm and composed even before the mountain collapsed, actually became confused after listening to half of the explanation of the Tao Te Ching.
And the more I think about it, the stronger the feeling of confusion becomes.
At this time, the pupils in his eyes were divided into two, and then divided into three, with two eyes and six pupils, which looked extremely weird.
At this moment, from the depths of the Buddhist cave where he was, bursts of Buddha's voice came, like the rising sun turning into snow, thick and deep.
"Jingxu!"
The abbot immediately adjusted his robes and quickly entered the depths of the Buddhist cave.
There are exquisite Buddhist sculptures all around the walls along the road and even on the top of the sky dome, which are lifelike. In some places, they seem to depict the pure land of the Buddha, which is very exciting.
Walking to the deepest point, it is dimly lit and there is a huge stone Buddha statue in front of it.
The Buddha statue is three feet high, has a solemn treasure appearance, looks like a man and a woman, has dharma seals on its hands, and has thousands of dharma symbols behind it.
The abbot came closer and knelt down on the ground.
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, a voice came from the tall Buddha statue.
"Jingxu, the "Diamond Sutra" you talked about last time is of great use to me. If I go further, I will teach you the method of becoming a Buddha. Can you find out any new Buddhist Dharma this time?"
"Replying to your venerable sir, this time the preacher did not preach any new Dharma..."
As soon as these words were spoken, a sigh came from the huge Buddha statue, which seemed to be extremely disappointed.
The abbot hurriedly added: "However, this time he preached Taoism."
"Tao Jing?"
The Buddha statue uttered a question.
After a while.
"Speak to me and listen."
"yes!"
The abbot obviously did not dare to disobey His Majesty's wishes. Although there was a trace of reluctance in his eyes, he still recited the Tao Te Ching verbatim.
The Buddha statue listens quietly.
When the abbot finished speaking, the Buddha statue asked anxiously: "What's behind?"
"Due to lack of time this time, I will only talk about it here."
"Really?" An invisible pressure on the Buddha statue swept across the Buddhist cave. The abbot only felt the pressure of the mountain top and hurriedly fell to the ground: "Jingxu did not dare to deceive the venerable. The preacher really only had time to speak halfway."
After a long time, the terrifying oppression dissipated.
"Is there any news about this preacher?" the Buddha statue asked.
The abbot shook his head: "In the dream where the city is located, its owners are also several mysterious masters. If you want to follow the clues in the city and find the preachers, I am afraid that you will offend those owners of the city..."
"If you provoke me, you will provoke me. Everything depends on the pros and cons. If you can find a preacher, what if you offend the master of the market? When I go further, the master of the market is just a meal on my plate."
The abbot wanted to speak, but after thinking for a while, he remained silent.
"This "Tao Te Ching" is extremely mysterious. Although it is a Taoist scripture, it is also of great use to me. Next time I go to the market, I need to find out all about it..."
"Jingxu carefully obeys His Majesty's decree!"
"Go down."
The abbot stood up.
"Wait a moment!"
The abbot quickly stopped and turned around to listen.
The Buddha statue was meditating for a moment and seemed to be hesitating.
After a while, he said: "Next time there is a market, I will go too."
"yes!"
After bowing, the abbot walked out of the depths of the Buddhist cave.
Walk until you reach the outside of the Buddhist cave and look up at the sky.
The smile on his lips could no longer be suppressed.
Under the suppressed smile, the corners of his mouth were split to his ears, and he looked like a monster.
The pupils in his eyes twitched and quickly split from the original three.
Four.
five.
Six!
It was divided into seven pupils before it stopped.
At this moment, the abbot seemed to be patient.
Holding back some violent force in his body.
Obviously, he endured it very hard.
A stream of black energy seemed to want to flow out of his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, but as soon as his head emerged, he was forcefully forced back.
"Finally took the bait."
After whispering something, the abbot took a deep breath, returned the corners of his mouth to their original state, closed his eyes, hiding his multi-pupil eyes, and waited until everything was peaceful before walking slowly with a smile on his face.
I walked all the way to a certain Zen monastery and asked the novice monk who was sweeping the floor.
"Is Jing Kong here?"
Seeing that it was the abbot, the young novice hurriedly clasped his hands together and bowed in salute.
"Back to the abbot, Master Jingkong is sitting in meditation in the Zen courtyard."
"well."
The abbot stepped in.
The courtyard is clean, tidy and spotless.
An old monk was sitting cross-legged in the room. Hearing the noise, he quickly got up and went outside.
"I've met senior abbot brother!"
"Junior Brother Jingkong, I have something to discuss with you."
Old monk Jingkong looked puzzled: "Brother Abbot, please speak."
The abbot approached, opened his squinted eyelids, revealed his multi-pupil eyes, and whispered: "Junior Brother Jingkong, do you want to become a Buddha?"
…
In Yunxia Valley, Xu Mo waved the small black flag in his hand, and a black mist suddenly floated out and gathered around him, blocking out the sky and the sun, like a small dark room.
"Everyone come out."
Xu Mo called out.
In an instant, lonely wild ghosts appeared one by one. When they saw Xu Mo, they hurriedly saluted and bowed with great respect.
These are all the ghosts under Huai Yuanhui.
Ghost ages range from ten to a hundred years old.
"The few who know swordsmanship stayed, and the others dispersed."
Xu Mo reached out and called the names of several lonely ghosts.
They are surprised.
Because when they met for the first time, Xu Mo knew their names and knew that they were proficient in swordsmanship.
"No wonder, even Mr. Huai calls him his teacher."
"Shut up, I won't call you Mr. Huai now, I will call you Master Yuanhui. If you want to be beaten, don't get involved with us."
A few lonely ghosts whispered.
Xu Mo was too lazy to pay attention to these trivial matters, pretending not to hear, and asked about sword techniques. These lonely ghosts mentioned several types in total. Xu Mo chose one and chose "White Rainbow Sword Technique".
After spending an extra day studying, by the time it got dark, Xu Mo had mastered seventy-seven or eighty-eight percent of this mortal martial arts swordsmanship.
It is enough for sword code fusion.
Until late at night, Xu Mo took a deep breath.
"I have mastered this White Rainbow Sword Technique. To be honest, compared with Yutian Nine Sword Techniques and Lin Family Sword Technique, it is almost as different as clouds and mud, but it still has a little bit of uniqueness."
Xu Mo sighed.
His starting point in swordsmanship is very high, far ahead of others.
At the beginning, it was Dongling Zhijie, a superb swordsman, who pointed the finger.
Then he had a long chat with Lin Muchen and discussed the art of swordsmanship.
Coupled with many restarts and rebirths, and repeated practice, my understanding of kendo is naturally extraordinary.
Now he used the "Qinglian Sword Code" to talk about the integration of the three sword techniques, and Xu Mo felt that he had made rapid progress again.
"Tiger Soul!"
At this moment, Xu Mo called out softly, and a stream of light flew out from behind Xu Mo, and then hung in front of him.
It is the Tiger Soul Sword.
The sword buzzed.
This is not something Xu Mo did intentionally, but the Tiger Soul Sword Sutra "All Things Transform into Spirits" has given birth to a trace of spiritual wisdom. Although it is only as weak as a firefly at the moment, if it is cultivated properly, it will surely grow stronger.
Xu Mo jumped up at this moment, climbed to the top of the locust tree and looked around.
On the mountain peak in the distance, there is a strange rock. The distance is more than 50 to 60 feet, it should be 200 meters away.
"go!"
Xu Mo wielded his sword and pointed over there.
The Tiger Soul Sword immediately flew away at such a fast speed that only an afterimage was left behind, and the sound of the sword could be heard in the air.
The next moment, the strange rock on the distant mountain peak was cut into two pieces.
"Cut again!"
What Xu Mo saw was a pine tree hanging on the cliff farther away. There was a flash of cold light, and the ancient pine on the cliff fell directly. It was obvious that the trunk was cut off by the Tiger Soul Sword.
"Return!"
Xu Mo raised his hand and grabbed it, and the Tiger Soul Sword came instantly and landed in Xu Mo's palm.
To be honest, it was a bit better than expected.
"The Green Lotus Sword Code combines swordsmanship and is really powerful. With this swordsmanship and the sharpness of the Tiger Soul Sword, I may be able to kill the great demon Yuan Jun and Taoist Lingzhao."
Xu Mo originally thought that it would take some accumulation and time for him to deal with the great demon Yuan Jun and Taoist Lingzhao.
But now, the improvement of kendo has brought him confidence.
"You still can't be complacent. Maybe Taoist Lingzhao didn't use all his strength that day. If you go to find him now, there's a high probability that he won't be your opponent."
Xu Mo thought carefully and calmed down.
He is not in a hurry now.
There's no need to rush.
His sword canon only incorporates three sword techniques, and more can be incorporated.
Xu Mo needs to test his limits.
Furthermore, he also wanted to determine whether there was such an incredible thing as "encountering a demon three times".
"The masked immortal cultivator said that after the "Green Lotus Sword Code" fuses the three sword techniques, if you fall into a dream, you will be attacked and killed by a sword demon. If you win, you can continue to fuse. If you lose, you will not be able to fuse the sword techniques. There will be no more sword techniques.
Cun Jin... In addition, if the fourth sword technique is forcibly fused, the sword demon attack will be triggered immediately."
Xu Mo had some calculations in his mind.
He fell from the tree and continued to integrate the fourth sword technique.
The sword technique he chose was still the mortal one, called "The Thirteen Swords of the Spirit Ape".
There are only thirteen moves in this swordsmanship. It focuses on breaking rocks with a heavy sword. The sword is like an ape's arm, like a steel whip and an iron rope. It opens and closes widely. To put it bluntly, there are five words.
Power works miracles!
Xu Mo is already familiar with the fusion of swordsmanship according to the secret method of "Qinglian Sword Code".
But this time, something went wrong.
Halfway through melting, Xu Mo's vision suddenly went dark, and he was forcibly dragged into a dream by a mysterious force.
There was black mist all around, and you could vaguely see a person standing in front of you.
Not surprisingly, this is 'every time you encounter a demon, the sword demon attacks'.
Xu Mo looked around and silently recited the spell to escape dreams.
invalid.
The next moment, danger struck without warning.
Xu Mo raised his hand and waved his sword.
Bang!
Gold and iron intersect, sparks fly everywhere.
The force was so great that the Tiger Soul Sword in Xu Mo's hand was bounced to the ground.
On the opposite side, a flying sword was also bounced away.
Xu Mo felt severe pain in his palm. Although he knew it was in a dream, it was obvious that the tiger's mouth had been torn open and it was impossible to hold the sword again.
The two swords collided just now, and a violent storm arose. The surrounding black mist was swept away, revealing a vacuum. Xu Mo quickly looked up. When he saw the appearance of the 'Sword Demon' clearly, he was stunned.
The sword demon opposite him looked exactly like Xu Mo himself in terms of appearance and body shape.
More twins than twins.
However, the 'Xu Mo' on the opposite side showed a ferocious expression, laughed strangely like a madman, stood up with his sword and attacked again.
