Yan Shouyi, who had taken the Zanpakutō, was not happy at all at this moment.
He has no interest in the so-called Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain. He has a lot of troubles, so how can he have time to be a Celestial Master?
But Shenlong and Shenhu didn't seem to think so. They were complacent about finding such an "outstanding" successor as Yan Shouyi, as if they would receive some reward.
Shenlong patted Yan Shouyi's shoulder with his claws and said with a smile:
"Don't be too happy. There will be three successors to the Heavenly Master like you every sixty years."
Yan Shouyi was stunned: "Three? Then I can no longer be a heavenly master?"
Anyway, there are three successors, but there is only one position of Heavenly Master. If he doesn't take it, someone else will naturally take it.
This made Yan Shou very happy. He just had to hide the secret text of the Shenhu and let others hunt down the other two heirs!
However, Shenhu said angrily: "You don't want to be a Celestial Master so much? Your abilities, talents, and ambitions are all the best candidates for the Celestial Master. Don't give up on yourself so easily!"
Yan Shouyi said humbly: "Thank you for your respect, senior, but I really don't want to be a heavenly master. If I don't become a heavenly master, I can still eliminate demons and protect the Tao and benefit the people. Besides, I still have a lot of messes to clean up."
After hearing Yan Shouyi's answer, both Shenlong and Shenhu felt a little regretful. They felt sorry for Yan Shouyi, a good young man, but they did not regret giving him the secret text of Shenhu.
Then Shenlong said:
"In any case, since the secret text of the Divine Tiger has been given to you, we will not take it back. As for whether you want to be a heavenly master or not, it is your own destiny, and we cannot interfere."
Yan Shou nodded and said sincerely: "No matter what, I still want to thank you two seniors."
Shenhu said impatiently:
"Okay, okay, stop chattering there. Aren't you in a hurry to get down the mountain? Get out of here!"
Yan Shouyi once again saw the shadow of Lu Jing in Shenhu, and the two of them even used the same curse words.
"Then I won't bother you too much, junior. I hope we can see you again in the future!"
Yan Shouyi didn't want to stay here any longer. After saluting the Divine Dragon and Divine Tiger with clasped fists, he retreated with his Zanpakutō on his back.
After he left, Shenhu said disdainfully: "You brat, you really left just as you said you would."
"Didn't you want to drive him away?" Shenlong said with a smile, "It's a pity. I thought that the two of us could find a good seedling this time, but who knew that Yan Shouyi didn't want to be a Celestial Master? A Celestial Master of this age, I'm afraid...
If it is robbed by others, then it will not be counted as our merit."
The implication of Shenlong's words is that there should be two other groups of Shenlong and Shenhu, searching for the heirs of the Heavenly Master around the world.
Whichever group of successors is chosen in the end becomes the Heavenly Master, they will also benefit from it.
Shenhu didn't feel anything about this: "Even if he wants to be a heavenly master, he doesn't just want to be a master. The people who can be selected by us are all among the best, and all of them have strength and courage that are not inferior to him."
Shenlong nodded: "To put it bluntly, it depends on fate... But this guy is really good, he is very different!"
Shenhu was noncommittal, but still had some expectations for Yan Shouyi in his eyes.
"Let's clean up. We have been living on this barren slope for more than 20 years. It's time to return to the mountains and resume our lives."
When Shenlong finished speaking, Yan Shouyi happened to turn his head, wanting to take one last look at Shenlong and Shenhu.
But he did not see the two figures again. He only saw the broken stones on the ground in the cave, and even the original appearance of the stone statue could not be seen.
Everything that happened just now seemed like a dream. The only thing that could verify the existence of the divine dragon and the divine tiger was the Zanpakutō carried on Yan Shouyi's back.
"Seniors, thank you very much."
Yan Shouyi cupped his fists and bowed again, turned around and prepared to go down the mountain.
He came to the edge of Stone Mountain, lowered his head and looked down. He could only see the woods shrouded in darkness, but could not see Yan Qiu and others staring at him in the woods.
Just when Yan Shouyi was about to climb down.
The Zanpakutō on his back suddenly flashed a strange light.
Then, the Zanpakuto instantly weighed a thousand pounds!
The terrifying weight directly forced Yan Shouyi to kneel on one knee, and his knee smashed the stone under him into pieces!
"What's going on!"
Yan Shou's expression changed greatly, and he gritted his teeth and persisted, but at this time, it seemed that what he was carrying on his back was not a Zanpakutō, but an entire stone mountain!
The terrifying force pressed Yan Shouyi tightly, and it was very difficult to even maintain a kneeling position, let alone stand up again!
What worries Yan Shouyi even more is that he is already standing on the edge of the mountain. If he can't hold on anymore, he may fall down the mountain!
"It's true that the Zanpakutō is not something that ordinary people can control... This one weighing a thousand pounds, is it evil spirit? Is it murderous intent?!"
Yan Shouyi struggled to hold on, but his spine was bending bit by bit...
Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer, fell sideways, and fell off the top of the mountain...
The sound of rapidly falling wind whistled in Yan Shouyi's ears, and he saw that the top of the stone mountain was getting farther and farther away from him.
Just when he was about to land, a flying tiger claw suddenly flew out of the mountain forest and firmly grabbed Yan Shouyi's ankle.
The Ma family brothers and sisters rushed out of the forest and barely managed to catch Yan Shouyi.
The moment they landed, the mountain gods Iwasawa and Qingniu suddenly appeared and caught the three of them steadily.
"Quickly, throw away the knife on your back!" Iwasawa warned.
Yan Shou rolled over and got off Qingniu's back. He was pressed to the ground by the Zanpakutō and was even a little out of breath.
But he didn't listen to Iwasawa's warning and threw his Zanpakutō!
Ma Jinxuan thought that Yan Shouyi had no strength, so she quickly went to help, but unexpectedly, Yan Shouyi shouted back:
"Don't! Don't touch my Zanpakutō!"
Ma Xingping said anxiously: "Brother Yan, there is something weird about this knife!"
"I know……"
Yan Shouyi gasped and said: "Ordinary people can't control it, but I can! If I throw it away now, I will bow to it and admit defeat! I threw it this time, and I will never lift it again."
It’s qualified!!”
Hearing this, the Ma family brothers and sisters quickly stopped their hands and stood aside nervously, not knowing what to do.
Iwasawa frowned and ordered Qingniu to call Yan Chou and the others over.
Yan Shouyi lay on the ground, and the Zanpakutō on his back poured out black evil energy, gradually surrounding Yan Shouyi.
"Evil spirit, evil spirit again!"
Yan Shouyi seemed a little irritable, but he was trying to stay calm. As long as he could not be affected by the evil spirit, he would be able to use the Zanpakutō without any worries!
"restraint!"
"calm!"
"Stay awake!"
"I can't...can't bow to the Zanpakutō..."
Although Yan Shouyi kept reminding himself, he gradually lost consciousness.
The black evil energy completely swallowed him up, and the Ma family brothers and sisters could no longer see Yan Shouyi's figure at all.
"Brother Yan!" Ma Xingping was anxious.
At the critical moment, a deep and heavy sound like the ringing of a bell suddenly came from everyone's ears:
"Moo!..."
That voice is ancient and vicissitudes of life, as if it came from thousands of years ago. It can purify all the filth in the world and eliminate all distracting thoughts in people's hearts!
At this moment, it was dawn, the surrounding trees had disappeared, and what was left was the endless calm lake.
When the Ma brothers and sisters looked down, their faces could even be reflected in the lake below.
They felt unprecedented peace.
What's going on?
Suddenly, the lake under their feet disappeared. When they looked up again, Yan Qiu, the dog Taoist priest, and the Miaoji monk had already arrived at Yan Shouyi's side!
That eternal voice comes from Miaoji!
Ma Xingping was shocked.
When did they come?
Why didn’t I notice it at all?!
I saw Miaoji clasping her hands together, golden light emitting from her body, and her whole person looked like a living Buddha, holy and solemn.
"Om!"
"Well!"
"Woolen cloth!"
"chant!"
"Mi!"
"Hum!"
The six-character mantra of Buddhism was spat out from Miaoji's mouth one by one.
Every mantra formed a golden Buddha seal in front of him, hitting the evil aura surrounding Yan Shouyi!
When all the six-character mantra appeared, a big net was formed to collect the evil spirit!
The figures of Yan Shouyi and the Zanpakutō gradually appeared.
The six-character mantra slowly pushed all the evil energy back to the Zanpakutō, and finally turned into a string of Buddhist seals, deeply imprinted on the Zanpakutō's blade!
Just like the Tathagata Buddha sealing Sun Wukong who was causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the six-character mantra is like the Five-Finger Mountain, suppressing the evil spirit of the Zanpakutō!
At this moment, Ma Xingping felt the terror of Miaoji.
Is he a warrior monk?
Judging from the attire, they look very similar.
But his Buddhist attainments look almost the same as those of a living Buddha!
What are the origins of Brother Yan’s father and uncles, and why are their abilities so terrifying!!
