Chapter 1816 Knight's Opportunity
Speaking of Monk Jianzhen, we have to talk about his status in Japan.
Monk Jianzhen is the founding father of the Nanshan Vinaya School of Japanese Buddhism. He preached the Dharma to Japan six times, which not only promoted the exchanges between Chinese Buddhism and Japan, but also perfected the Japanese precepts and regulations with the already formed Chinese precepts. As a result, he is known as the ancestor of the Japanese precepts, and has become a master-level figure of the Japanese Buddhist generation.
It can be said that in Japan more than a thousand years ago, it was precisely because of the existence of monks like Jianzhen that the small country that lived in a small corner was able to absorb nutrients from the most advanced civilization in the world at that time, and was able to learn from the world's most advanced civilizations. Stand out from the middle school and have an unusual status. This is what Japan was most impressed with back then. So after Monk Jianzhen passed away, his remains were enshrined, and until today, more than a thousand years later, they are still sitting firmly in Toshodaiji Temple in Nara, Japan, with incense burning continuously.
Not to mention the remains of a great virtuous monk, even a little monster, who has been worshiped by incense for more than a thousand years, is probably called a god. Monk Jianzhen is no exception. After more than a thousand years, his remains have turned into a golden body. Although there is no magic on the material level, in the mysterious spiritual world, this remains Already have the chance to become an arhat and ascend to the bliss of the Western Paradise.
This kind of opportunity was placed in the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, or even the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, and it could add another Arhat to the Western Paradise. However, it is a pity that with the loss of the heavenly world of Middle-earth into the void, even if this remnant has the opportunity to cultivate to a positive result, there is no corresponding way to ascend to heaven.
And all of this is cheap for Kamibe Xiong.
The most dangerous battle that Kamibe O had ever encountered was when he met Shuten Doji, the evil ghost in Japanese legend.
In Japan, evil spirits are not just the ghosts we know, but an ethnic group, a localized devil-like existence. This Jiu Tun Boy is an extremely ferocious existence among the evil ghosts. According to legend, he is extremely powerful, especially good at changing, and he likes to eat virgin boys with wine. Although it is said that in the legend, he was conquered by the hero Minamoto Raimitsu in the Heian era, and his head was beheaded. But I also want to know, how can a figure like a devil lord suffer death so easily.
According to later generations, Shuten-douji had a place in the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts, and from this, it can be seen whether his death under the famous sword in the legend is true or not.
Meeting Shuten-douji, even if Kamibe Yuo has the ability of ghost knight, he can't please him. He could only rely on his immortality to fight and retreat, and after retreating repeatedly, he was already forced to the tomb of Monk Jianzhen in Nara.
The two extraordinary beings fought here, and of course ordinary defensive measures couldn't stop them. And just after the battle became more intense, Kanbeyu was accidentally beaten by Shuten Doji and smashed through the stupa, and fell next to the remains of the monk Jianzhen.
This is Kamibe's opportunity. When he fell, he happened to meet the relic in the slough of Monk Jianzhen. And this relic has been enshrined for thousands of years, and has never met a stranger with magic power. Under this touch, of course, he didn't care about it, and poured in the magic power he had accumulated for thousands of years, including the Buddha Dharma of the original body.
What are the consequences of doing so for a Buddhist relic who can achieve Arhatship? If it were any disciple of Buddhism, he might not be able to fly away immediately. Although Shen Bianxiong didn't have this key, 70% of 10% of his mana was wasted, but the remaining 30% was enough to leave a mark on him and get a name in Buddhism.
And this registration immediately alarmed a great god. That is a clone of Ksitigarbha stationed in Japan.
The deity of Ksitigarbha, of course, is in the hell of heaven, seeking the power of hell. But since Buddhism flourished in Japan, his belief in Ksitigarbha has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people along with the times. To put it bluntly, in the whole of Japan, his name as Ksitigarbha is more famous than Avalokitesvara.
Even that Buddha is probably inferior to him.
This is the real power of sentient beings' wish, so he can't let him miss it. So naturally, it's a matter of course to separate out a clone to sit in this way.
This was naturally not a problem thousands or even hundreds of years ago. With the spiritual consciousness of the deity, this avatar can also properly demonstrate the Buddha's compassion and the Buddha's rhyme that all living beings are suffering. Unfortunately, with the loss of the heavens, the relationship between the two has long since been severed. And without the blessing of the deity's divine power, this avatar can only squat in hell honestly, making his wooden Buddha sculpture.
Of course, that being said, there is one exception. That is, when facing talents, this avatar is retained by its own mechanism.
After all, King Ksitigarbha is no better than Avalokitesvara. In terms of believers, even if he has the bonus of the whole of Japan, it is difficult for him to have as many disciples and grandchildren as famous Bodhisattvas like Avalokitesvara. Moreover, most of the Japanese monks follow the path of family inheritance, do not abide by the clear rules and precepts, one is not taboo about female sex, and the other is meat. I can't even control my own distracting thoughts, and it is really difficult to cultivate to a positive result.
You must know that Ksitigarbha is asking for a lot. It's not what he wants to just keep the name of the Lord of Hell. However, no matter what kind of plot it is, in the end it must be supported by someone. It is true that Yama of the Ten Halls listens to his orders in hell, but it is difficult to say whether the large and small ghosts and spirit officials under the Yama of the Ten Halls listen to the Temple of Yama or the Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions.
For Ksitigarbha, ghosts are ghosts after all, even if they are sincere, they are not as easy to use as disciples from the same school. Therefore, if possible, of course he would not give up those innocent Buddhist disciples and take them into his sect wall.
Japan is equivalent to his back garden, as long as there are one or two Buddhist disciples who are so capable, he will not dislike him. However, it is okay, there are very few people who show up, they are just in twos and threes. However, even if it is in twos and threes, it is still the meat of the mosquito's legs, and it is not meat at all.
It is only by relying on the foundation of the family that it has been enriched. Of course, it is impossible for Dizang to abandon such a large piece of fertile land. So even if it is a foregone conclusion that the separation of the heavens is a foregone conclusion, he has also set up a backhand here.
As long as any Buddhist disciples show their aptitude, then this avatar of Ksitigarbha King must show some means and point out the maze. And with this relationship, wouldn't it be a matter of course to include it under the gate wall when the heavens return in the future?
How Ksitigarbha planned, Shen Bianxiong didn't know. However, there is no doubt that he received the favor of Ksitigarbha because of this.
This favor is the method of Dizang, a spell of swallowing ghosts and refining. It stands to reason that Buddhist great virtues should not practice such spells, but you must know that there are also ominous creatures such as yakshas and rakshasas in Buddhism. However, in terms of the nature of the ghost knight, it is almost the same as this kind of monster, so this spell is the most suitable for Kamibe Xiong.
With the addition of Buddhist supernatural powers, Shen Bianxiong is naturally not what it used to be. And when dealing with a situation like his Hundred Ghosts' Night Walk, he already had a mediocre feeling.
Many evil spirits took him in, which not only strengthened his strength, but also cultivated his trump card. This hole card may not be very useful in the face of Mephisto or Randekiel in his heyday, but at this moment, it is the key to his life.
So at the moment, I saw Kamibe Xiong spitting out evil spirits almost without a pause, and for a while, a group of demons danced wildly and flames flew. It was like a plague of locusts overwhelming the sky, covering the entire sky transparently.
Although these evil spirits did not have the sanity in life, most of their souls were burned to ashes by God Bianxiong. But the instinct is there, and under the magic of Shen Bianxiong to drive the ghosts, they can barely make a posture of a pack of wolves waiting around and running in coordination.
And you must know that even a group of ants can do the feat of retreating from tigers and wolves after a large number, let alone a group of ghosts that can be named. Therefore, when these ghosts were not afraid of life and death, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner like a pack of wolves, and running back and forth, even the monsters like the tongue of the earth could not help but stop their pursuit.
It's hard to say whether this stop is because of the obstruction of these puppet ghosts, or because the giant tongue underneath has lost interest in Randekiel and the others under these new temptations. In short, for a while, Randekiel and the others had room to breathe.
It's hard to find this room, and no one knows how long those ghosts can last. Kamibe Xiong didn't have much idea about this. Therefore, like a car breaking down, after he could no longer spit out flames between his teeth and could only sigh old smoke, Kanbe Yuo was already yelling and urging Randkill.
"Let's go, I've run out of ghosts in reserve. If I don't leave now, it's really too late!"
As soon as this remark came out, there was no need for Shen Bianxiong to say anything more, but Dekiel already knew the power of it. At the moment, he didn't bother to take a closer look at Kamibe's tricks, and immediately flapped his wings and flew towards the sky.
For the monster below, Randekiel still thinks clearly. Seeing that this guy who doesn't know the details can change the landscape of the entire city casually, and can even lift up millions of tons of earth and rocks with a single move. In all likelihood, it has the ability to control the earth.
With such abilities, it would be unwise to confront him on the ground. And under the circumstances that he is obviously not the opponent's opponent, even if he just stays on the ground, there is a certain risk. Smart people will not face such risks recklessly, and if they do not want to face such crises, then escaping from the sky is their best choice.
At this moment, Randkyr only hated himself for not flying high enough, and how would he lower the distance between himself and the ground recklessly?
Although his choice was a little cowardly, it is undeniable that it was because of his cowardice that it provided a guarantee for his life.
Because just when he managed to increase his height by three or five times, almost more than a thousand meters, the ghosts pulled out by Shen Bianxiong were already covered by that sticky and terrifying big tongue. Like a pangolin digging out ants, it devours them cleanly while swallowing.
He didn't even win for a moment, such a trump card really made Randekil couldn't help cursing trash in his heart. However, the situation is already like this no matter what, no matter how much he hates him, he can't change this situation. Fortunately, their current distance is still safe. So before the monsters below had time to worry about them, he could only pat on the horse in a hurry and walked up.
The two flew high all the way, looking down from the sky to the ground, but they could also see the strange scene of the earth waves churning under the surface, whose momentum was like a galloping horse. Obviously, this is a sign that the monster below has tasted the taste and intends to pursue them relentlessly. And for such a performance, whether it is Randkiel or Kanbe Yu, they all feel panic and fear from the bottom of their hearts.
No matter which one of the two of them is, they are all characters killed out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood. Not to mention the large and small wars Randekier has experienced in the past few thousand years, how many times he was born and died. Just the battle between Kanbeo and those ghosts in half his life is unimaginable cruelty for ordinary people.
This kind of experience cultivated should be a steel-like will, even in the face of death, there will be no wavering spirit. However, the reality is that in the face of the horror that seemed to engulf the two of them at any time, the two of them couldn't help but have distracting thoughts and chaos in their hearts.
There is naturally a force that is invisible to them, but neither of the two people who are running for their lives can detect the problem from it. They only cared about running for their lives, but to the monsters that were chasing after them, these two were like delicacies hanging from their mouths, there was absolutely no reason for them to escape like this.
Don't look at these two guys who have climbed several thousand meters into the sky, it is an existence that a guy who is sneaking on land will definitely not be able to touch. But there is a saying that is human-made. No matter how many birds are flying in the sky, is there anyone who has not been tasted by people who walk on two legs?
In short, it was greedy, but the monster turned into this city curled up its long tongue, and like a boom, it went straight into the sky for tens of miles. From a distance, it looks like a line between the sky and the earth, but from a close look, it is an iron rod holding the sky. During the journey, the mountains swayed and the clouds stirred, and they just kept pushing these two people away.
But in such a situation of you chasing after each other and entangled all the way, the two of Randekiel have gradually fallen into a disadvantage.
After all, it is only by relying on a few pairs of shoulders to exert strength that it is possible to struggle until now. If it was in its prime, Randekiel might not be able to escape from birth. But now, under the premise that he is seriously injured, it is really impossible to escape so carelessly.
In the current situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that an abyss is in front of you, and that if you make a mistake, you will be doomed. Facing such a situation, Rand Keir had already made up his mind after a calculation in his mind and a wandering look in his eyes.
