Shocking murderous intent spread out from Zhou You's body, forming a terrifying Shura shadow behind him.
For a time, the dark wind roared, and the quiet place of Buddhism seemed to have turned into a netherworld.
Shenxiu glanced at the phantom of Shura appearing behind Zhou You, and continued to chant Buddhist scriptures.
Under the sound of chanting sutras, the blood on the phantom of Shura became more intense.
Zhou You also felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter, and the killing intent seemed to turn into magma, constantly flowing through the body, tempering blood vessels, meridians, muscles and bones...
In the end, the blurry shadow of Shura turned solid. His facial features were somewhat similar to Zhou You's, and the expression on his face was not ferocious, but a hint of compassion.
"The murderous intention in this benefactor is astonishing, but the poor monk can feel a ray of Buddha nature, hiding a compassionate heart of compassion for heaven and earth. No wonder he is destined to be my Buddha..." Shenxiu thought to himself.
"Asura demon body is listened to by eminent monks chanting sutras, and the speed of cultivation is increased by 50%..."
As Shenxiu's chanting ended, Zhou You also opened his eyes at this time.
"Donor, you are too murderous in your heart. This string of beads may be able to help you." Shenxiu handed the beads in his left hand to Zhou You.
This string of Buddhist beads looks very ordinary. There are nine beads in total. Each one is printed with mysterious runes and exudes an ancient atmosphere.
Zhou You held it in his hand, but his mind became extremely calm.
"Thank you, Master!" Zhou You thanked you, and then said, "I wonder if Master can give me some Buddhist scriptures as a gift?"
It is unrealistic to come to Bodhi Temple every day to listen to people reciting sutras.
He could only use his own words to recite sutras to the Shura demon body.
"Please wait a moment, donor." Shenxiu stood up and entered the depths of the hall.
After a while, he walked out with a few Buddhist scriptures.
"This is the Lotus Sutra, the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra and the Avalokitesvara Sutra. I believe it can be of some help to the donor."
Thank you again Zhouyou.
Just when he was about to say goodbye and leave, he stopped and looked at Shenxiu: "I wonder, Master, how much do you know about the evil technique of human head sacrifice?"
He had always cared about the head sacrifice, but unfortunately there were too few clues, so he could only secretly compete for strength first.
As a lineage of divine cultivators, Bodhi Temple should be aware of this evil method.
After all, the people who know you best are often your enemies.
Divine cultivators and evil cultivators are natural enemies. When they meet, it is life and death.
"Head sacrifice?" Shenxiu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This head sacrifice is usually an evil ritual performed to worship evil gods... But the specific evil god to be sacrificed can only be checked in person."
"Then please, Master, help those hundreds of thousands of innocent souls who died in vain!"
Travel around Bao Quan Do.
No one from the Demon Slayer Department or the government should be disturbed by this case.
But Bodhi Temple is different, it exists independently.
Moreover, Zhou You had a very good impression of Master Shenxiu and felt that he could be trusted.
Besides, he really knew too little about human head sacrifice.
"What happened?" Shenxiu was slightly stunned.
Zhou You looked serious and said in a deep voice: "I am a demon slayer from the Demon Slayer Department. I received a mission to hunt down an evil cultivator..."
After Zhou You recounted his findings, Shenxiu also sighed and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha..."
"I didn't expect such a cruel and inhumane thing to happen near the capital of the country. Since the poor monk heard about it, he naturally couldn't sit idly by and just asked the donor to lead the way."
"Thank you, Master!" Zhou You thanked him sincerely.
...........
Near Guyue City, there is a deserted and dilapidated mountain village.
Under the pale moonlight, it looked increasingly quiet and lifeless, eerie and without any life.
Ta-ta-ta~
There was a rapid sound of horse hooves.
I saw two giant horses, one black and one white, approaching quickly.
The giant black horse is a horse with black scales, and the rider on it is naturally traveling around
And the white giant horse is also extraordinary and handsome, its body is only slightly smaller than the black scale horse, its four hooves are like flying, and it runs like white lightning.
This is a white dragon horse specially produced by Bodhi Temple.
There is a young monk sitting on it, wearing a white monk's robe, with a handsome face and elegant appearance. He is naturally the Shenxiu monk.
"Master Shenxiu, the square where the head sacrifice is held is in the valley behind this village." Zhou You said softly.
The two traveled through wind and rain, accompanied by the stars and the moon, and finally arrived in about a day and a half.
"It won't be too late." Monk Shenxiu nodded slightly.
Pass through the village and enter the valley behind.
When passing through the deep rock wall, step into the cave.
Seeing the densely packed dried human heads all around, even Shenxiu, who always had a calm expression, showed a rare expression of sullenness.
He seemed to see hundreds of thousands of innocent souls wailing.
"Master Shenxiu, I wonder if you have discovered anything?" Zhou You asked.
Shenxiu's eyes were firmly fixed on the evil altar in the center of the square.
He stepped to the altar, showing surprise, and then fell into thinking.
Zhou You saw his expression in his eyes, but did not interrupt.
After a long time, Shenxiu sighed: "As a demon slayer, have you ever heard of the theory of gods and demons?"
Zhou You exclaimed: "What does this altar have to do with gods and demons?"
"If I read this altar correctly, it should be a bloody altar for worshiping gods and demons in ancient times. In the distant years before the rise of the human race, the gods and demons regarded humans as blood food, and would ask humans to sacrifice blood food every once in a while. If there is no
If you offer sacrifices on time, disaster will come.”
"Thus, this bloody altar was born, which represents an extremely humiliating history of the human race."
"Later, a world-destroying war broke out between gods and demons, and the world collapsed. The human race gradually rose up under the leadership of the Holy Emperor. From then on, there was no need to sacrifice gods and demons. The bloody altar naturally disappeared into history and was forgotten."
Shenxiu explained softly.
"Master, what you mean is that someone offered sacrifices to gods and demons?" Zhou You was extremely shocked, "But haven't all gods and demons perished in the long river of time and space?"
Even Jiyue of the Nangong family who wanted to revive was stopped by him and fell into deep sleep again. Could it be that there are other gods and demons who have revived unknowingly?
"Gods and demons never die in the true sense... They either fall into some kind of slumber, or their bodies and souls remain alive, turning into evil gods and existing in the world."
"Otherwise, where does the power of evil cultivators come from? It is to worship these existences whose physical bodies perish, but their souls turn into evil gods."
Shenxiu said calmly.
"If the power of evil cultivators comes from evil gods, then the power of divine cultivators..."
Zhou You couldn't help but ask.
He really has little understanding of the difference between the two.
"The power of our divine cultivators comes from heaven and earth. Perhaps the meaning of the existence of divine cultivators is to enable human beings to cultivate into immortal beings like gods and demons." Shenxiu smiled slightly.
Zhou You suddenly realized.
It turns out that this is the real difference between spiritual cultivation and evil cultivation.
