Chapter 453 Xin Zhen Eliminates the Four Pests (2)
His face was a little confused, then he nodded slowly and said: "... Well, it seems that is the case. So that's it, then we are old friends."
As Huang Zhonggong was about to put away his Jiaowei Qin, Tu Biweng shouted, "Brother, ever since we became known as the Four Beauties of Qiantang, we have never left each other's side. When did you attain enlightenment under that Bodhi tree?"
The Bodhi tree spirit chuckled and continued, "Why, Shi Gongyan, you ungrateful fellow, didn't you also receive some favors from me under the tree? Not only you, but also Xu Jingben and Li Dongchu have received my favors. Now that we haven't seen each other for many years, are you going to deny it outright?"
After hearing this, Tu Bi Weng looked confused and asked, "Ah? Is this true?"
Dan Qingsheng and Hei Baizi also looked somewhat bewildered, then both nodded and said, "It seems to be the case."
At this time, the four friends of Meizhuang all bowed to the big Buddha and said, "Thank you for your guidance back then, but I am sorry for offending you today."
The Bodhi tree spirit nodded and said calmly: "What should be done to those who are ungrateful?"
The four friends of Meizhuang all showed expressions of shame on their faces. Huang Zhonggong said with difficulty: "I should die to thank the world..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the four friends of Meizhuang all slapped their foreheads.
"You are such a monster! You actually used such a magic!"
Xin Zhen shouted angrily, and a ray of clear light split into four parts, pointing to the acupoints of the four friends of Meizhuang, and they fainted immediately.
The big Buddha laughed loudly and said sarcastically, "I've heard that a powerful person from Longhu Mountain has come to the east of Jiangnan, but I didn't expect him to be such a coward. That's right, a cowardly leader leading cowardly subordinates is a perfect match!"
Xin Zhen was immediately furious and was about to kill the Buddha, but then he was shocked: "Why am I so easily angered?"
wrong!
As soon as this thought came to my mind, it was like a bucket of cold water pouring down over my head, and my mind immediately became clear.
The big Buddha was surprised to see Xin Zhen's rage disappear in an instant, and said, "It seems that he is a capable person who can resist my Bodhi enlightenment magic power."
Xin Zhen sneered and said, "Is this the so-called enlightenment of Bodhi? It's just a magic trick to stir up people's minds."
The Bodhi tree spirit laughed and said, "It is both real and illusory, what does it matter? Everyone has obsessions. My enlightenment ability can eliminate their obsessions, and naturally can help them overcome the obstacles. The growth of cultivation is also real, so why can't it be called enlightenment ability?"
Xin Zhen snorted and said, "I finally understand why no one came to eliminate you even though you made Lingshan so foul. I guess someone must have some ulterior motive or was deceived by you. But, in the final analysis, it's just a third-rate evil trick. Do you really think you can keep getting away with it like this?"
The Bodhi tree spirit laughed loudly and said, "Who knows? But you have to stay today. That's good. I have one less boy under my seat. You are so tender and delicate, it's not shameful to bring you one.
The dragon cub next to you has an extraordinary aura and is a good mount. The old guy next to you is also okay as a butler.
Those four old guys are useless, so just eat them... Never mind, may the Buddha have mercy on me and give them a chance to serve me, and become my messengers in search of food.
It would save me some effort to have them capture talented boys to feed me, and it would be easier than using those stupid monsters."
Xin Zhen and Xiao Feng smiled at each other when they heard this. This monster's calculations were very precise and his plan was quite comprehensive.
Xin Zhen said to Xiao Feng, "Brother Xiao, please protect my father-in-law. I will fight this demon and see what he can do."
Fan Jie smiled, stood aside and said nothing.
Xiao Feng nodded and said, "I'll support you."
Xin Zhen nodded, then made a sword gesture and said softly: "White rainbow pierces the sun!"
The sword ball turned into a clear light and shot towards the face of the big Buddha like a sharp arrow. The big Buddha shouted angrily: "How dare you! How dare you be rude to the ancestor!"
The Buddha opened his mouth and swallowed Qingguang. Then he laughed and said, "This is just a trivial trick. If this is all you have, then you should stay here and be my boy."
Xin Zhen sneered and said, "How dare you show off such a trick in front of me? It's just a trifle! Ring the bells and drums!"
It seemed as if there were gods inside the Buddha's belly beating bells and drums, which made a rumbling sound. Then, clear rays of light shot out from the seven orifices of the Buddha, as if a laser lamp was installed. The Buddha laughed, and a large amount of clear light shot out from inside, and then the Buddha dissipated like weathering.
The clear light gathered into a sword ball and returned, flying nimbly in front of Xin Zhen.
Xiao Feng asked cautiously: "The illusion has been broken, but where is the real body?"
Xin Zhen looked at the sky, then at Lingshan, his face turned cold, and he said, "Since we arrived here, we have fallen into his illusion.
This sacred mountain is fake, the stench all over the ground is fake, those monsters walking everywhere are fake, the fire set by Bald Pen Master is fake, even the celestial phenomenon is fake. If I didn’t know a little about celestial phenomena, I might not be able to see that all of this is a fake.
This Bodhi tree spirit is indeed quite powerful. Most people probably can’t even find it, let alone eradicate it.”
"Hahaha! You kid really have some skills, you can see that, but so what, you should get out of this illusion first." After he finished speaking, the mountain scenery in front of him changed drastically, and the entire sacred mountain turned into a rock giant. The rock giant climbed up from the ground, with the floating clouds only between its knees. Suddenly, there was a loud whistling sound of wind, and a fist as big as several miles in radius fell from the sky, bursting the floating clouds, and smashed towards Xin Zhen and others.
Xiao Feng's face changed, and he turned into a giant golden dragon, ready to meet him, but he heard Xin Zhen snort softly, saying, "Yin is at six, how can we talk about nine? Taiji gave birth to two opposites, and the heaven and earth were first divided. Six yins are at their extreme, and when they meet seven, they return to the origin Taisu. Taisu is the gold virtue of the west, the purity of yin, and the source of cold."
After saying that, Xin Zhen lightly stepped on his right foot, and suddenly the sky and the earth spun, the rock giant disappeared, floating clouds condensed, and a clear and sacred mountain appeared in front of everyone. A huge Bodhi tree stood on the top of the mountain, and its huge leaves fluttered in the wind.
The bodhi tree spirit was shocked and asked, "Who are you? What kind of magic do you have? How can you break my magical power so easily?"
Xin Zhen looked around and nodded, "Those goblins and corpses all over the mountains are all illusions. In other words, you didn't eat humans, and you didn't do such evil things?"
The Bodhi tree spirit sneered and said, "I have killed many people. I killed all those lewd monks in Lingshan Temple. They tarnished the reputation of Buddha and deserved death. Oh, and I also killed many people who wanted to occupy Lingshan as a place of practice. Are you here to seize the place of practice as well? If so, I will kill you too."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Why do the people of Gusu call you one of the four evils of Gusu? What exactly did you do?"
The Bodhi tree spirit snorted and said angrily, "After I killed the lewd monks of Lingshan Temple, I transformed into Maitreya Buddha and told the people of Gusu about their evil deeds through dreams. Unexpectedly, not only were they ungrateful, they even called me a fake Maitreya. Tsk, I am too lazy to pay attention to them. I simply used the illusion of Lingshan to scare them away so as not to disturb my meditation."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "We came here today to rid the people of harm, but you are not a vicious person. Although your actions are reckless, they are not against morality. So I will not make things difficult for you today."
Xin Zhen turned to Xiao Feng and Fan Jie and said, "Let's go."
Then Xin Zhen untied the acupoints of the four friends of Mei Zhuang, and they woke up slowly. Xiao Feng quickly told them what happened. The four friends of Mei Zhuang were also lucky in their hearts, because if they had come by themselves, they would have really capsized in the ditch.
When Xin Zhen and the others were about to leave, the Bodhi tree spirit suddenly asked, "What are your origins, kid?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I am Xin Zhen, the governor of one of the 24 districts set up by Longhu Mountain in the east of Jiangnan. From now on, Lingshan will be under my jurisdiction. You must not make any mistakes. If you really do something that harms ordinary people, I may uproot you the next time you come."
The Bodhi tree spirit smacked his lips and said with a grin, "I guess you are just a small fry. You are totally unaware of the great changes in Mount Longhu, and you still have the mind to come here to slay demons and monsters."
Xin Zhen's expression changed slightly when he heard what the Bodhi tree spirit said. He asked, "What do you mean, Senior?"
The Bodhi tree spirit laughed and said, "The ancestral altar of Mount Longhu was besieged and captured by the four great monsters and a tide of beasts. The old Heavenly Master died, and Mount Longhu was split into several factions. They are fighting for the status of orthodoxy. Don't you know about this?"
Xin Zhen and the others' faces changed drastically when they heard this. If they lost Longhu Mountain as their banner, it would be far from enough for them to gain a foothold in the East Road of Jiangnan with their strength.
However, Xin Zhen did not quite trust the Bodhi tree spirit. The Bodhi tree spirit was good at using illusions and words to confuse others. What he said now might not be true. Maybe he just made it up to deceive him.
Xin Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "When did this happen?"
The Bodhi tree spirit chuckled and said, "Whether you believe it or not, just go and find out for yourself. Otherwise, you will think that I am using magic to deceive you. You should leave quickly and don't delay my cultivation!"
After he finished speaking, a large amount of clouds and mist emerged from Lingshan, covering the entire mountain. Xin Zhen and others realized that this was an extremely sophisticated formation. Fearing of being trapped in the formation, they flew away from Lingshan and arrived at a forest.
Xiao Feng said, "Brother Xin, I will go and find out whether this is true or not."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Brother Xiao, thank you for your help. We will wait for you in Wujiang County."
Xiao Feng smiled and turned into a rainbow of light, heading southwest, which was exactly the direction of Mount Longhu.
Xin Zhen, Fan Jie and others rushed back to Wujiang County.
When Fan Jie arrived above Wujiang County, he said, "I'll go check it out and see what the situation is."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, let Huang Zhonggong take you there."
Fan Jie smiled and said, "No need, I can go by myself." After that, he also turned into a rainbow light and left.
Xin Zhen was stunned for a moment and said, "My father-in-law is also a cultivator?"
Huang Zhonggong and the others looked at Xin Zhen in surprise and asked, "Why, you don't know?"
Xin Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "I met the Fan family because of a misunderstanding. If my father-in-law can practice cultivation, then he..."
Xin Zhen stopped talking suddenly. At that time, Feng Sanniang was no longer entangled with the Fan family, but was looking for trouble with the great Zen Master Fahua. However, there was still a problem. Since Fan Jie was a cultivator and could fly by turning into a rainbow, his cultivation must be very high. Why did he ask the great Zen Master Fahua to deal with the matter of Fan Shiyi Niang?
Could it be that he wanted to hide the fact that he was a cultivator? But what was there to hide about his identity as a cultivator?
Xin Zhen didn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. At this time, Dan Qingsheng smiled and said, "Mr. Fan is known as the peerless talent scout. He can see the future of young talents. Most of the young talents are cultivators. If he himself doesn't understand cultivation, how can he see their future?"
Xin Zhen suddenly realized that this was indeed the truth!
However, this is a good thing. Fan Jie is a cultivator, so the power in his hands has become much stronger.
