Chapter 222 Heart Sutra

"Junior brother!!!"

Seeing Yu Wenjie die so tragically and thoroughly, Shen Hongyu screamed and used all her strength to activate the magic weapon. The two fire dragons attacked Xu Yang, and she took the opportunity to escape.

However, Xu Yang's body movements were very mysterious. The two fire dragons without a master could not stop him at all. In a blink of an eye, they broke the siege and chased after him. They flew straight out of the fort with Shen Hongyu one in front and one behind.

"Bang bang bang!"

One in front and one behind, one chasing and one escaping, there were bursts of thunder along the way, all of which were thunder movements.

The fist shadow was like a dragon, driving thunder, and fiercely bombarded Shen Hongyu, shattering the magic weapons into pieces.

Lightning Thunder Fist!

The five elements are combined into one, with amazing power and consumption. It cannot be used continuously. It takes a while to slow down the mana and Yuan Gong. During this period, you can only fight with martial arts, or use some spells with lower consumption and weaker power.

This is also due to the limitation of cultivation. The mana is insufficient and the strong moves are difficult to use.

Although it is an ordinary move, it should not be underestimated in Xu Yang's hands.

In a blink of an eye, three magic weapons were shattered by the Thunder Fist.

Although he is a foundation-building cultivator and a disciple of a sect, he does not have too many treasures for self-defense.

After the three top-grade magic weapons were shattered, Shen Hongyu, who only had one spiritual weapon to protect her, finally stopped fleeing.

Escape is not a solution.

But what else can she do if she doesn't escape?

"Don't go too far!"

Shen Hongyu turned around, gritted her teeth and looked at Xu Yang, and took out a talisman with a flashing spiritual light: "If you go one step further, I will perish with you. Even if I fall into the devil's way, I will not let you get what you want!"

Xu Yang took a look and saw the foundation of the talisman.

It is a third-level spirit gathering talisman!

Spirit gathering talisman?

Yes, the spirit gathering talisman, this talisman that gathers spiritual energy and helps cultivation, is Shen Hongyu's trump card.

Because this world is a demon world, gathering spirits is gathering demons.

Qi-refining cultivators already have demon seeds in their bodies. After they are promoted to foundation building, the demon seeds will turn into demon fetuses.

Whether it is a demon seed or a demon fetus, as long as they absorb a large amount of demonic energy, they will turn into a terrifying demon.

For example, the placenta of the ghost fetus, the purple river placenta, was transformed by the "Doctor Mo" in the medicine shop.

The old ghost Mo is only a Qi-refining cultivator, but the demonized purple river placenta performs like a foundation-building cultivator. It has extremely strong vitality and can absorb demonic energy and continue to grow. It is because Xu Yang's thunder method is powerful, otherwise there is no way to deal with it.

Qi-refining demons are still like this, what about foundation building?

Shen Hongyu has a perfect foundation building, and now she has a third-level spirit gathering talisman in her hand. If she is really forced to perish with jade and stone, and gather spirits to transform demons, she may create a golden elixir-level demon.

Can he find a way out by threatening with this?

Xu Yang said nothing, and thunder rose again under his palm.

"You..."

"Okay!!!"

Seeing that the other party would not give her a chance to live, Shen Hongyu also let go, gritted her teeth, and activated the talisman.

"Boom!"

The talisman flashed, light and fire burned, and a talisman was imprinted into the world, and the ten-direction Yuan Ling was immediately attracted.

The Yuan Ling gathered and the dark fog surged.

Shen Hongyu let go of the restrictions and unscrupulously absorbed the Yuan Ling of the world, as well as the boiling demonic energy in the Yuan Ling.

Being trapped in the demonic realm, she was already desperate. Now that she was forced into such a situation, Shen Hongyu also let go completely.

"Die, die, die together!"

Shen Hongyu screamed wildly, and the gorgeous red palace dress burst open, revealing a snow-white jade body, with demonic patterns all over her skin, and hair growing out. The beautiful ketone body was about to turn into an ugly demon body.

The cultivator actively transformed into a demon, which was faster and more efficient.

Seeing this, Xu Yang said nothing more, and a thunderbolt blasted out, directly hitting the other party's demon body.

"Boom!"

The thunder exploded, and the shocking blow landed on the opponent's body, but the skin was not broken.

At this time, Shen Hongyu was covered with black hair and muscular. How could she still look like a fairy before?

Xu Yang's thunder strike landed on her body, but only shattered some hair, and did not cause any substantial damage to the skin and flesh.

Defense has already changed qualitatively!

There is no doubt that after the demonization, the bottleneck of the realm has been broken.

Now she is no longer the foundation-building cultivator before, but a demon in the Jindan realm.

"Roar!"

Shen Hongyu flew over with a roar that was not like a human, and her deformed right claw grabbed fiercely.

According to Taoist Zhu Yang's memory, most of the demonic energy acts on the flesh, so the demon's physique is very strong, and the attack method is mostly close combat. Only a very few demons can perform unique magic.

Now Shen Hongyu has transformed into a Jindan demon, which is obviously also mainly close combat.

Seeing this, Xu Yang did not say much, and jumped up with a sword to raise wind and thunder.

Sword cultivation fighting method, the unity of man and sword!

The sword rises with wind and thunder, lightning flashes out, and the five elements are born in the sword.

Xuanyuan Divine Sword Jue!

Great Five Elements Sword Jue!

Tianxin Five Thunders Orthodox Method!

Five Spirits Five Elements True Jue!

Two sword techniques, one thunder method, and one true skill.

Although this sword is not as good as the Heavenly Sword, nor has it become a magical power, it can still show Xu Yang's cultivation attainments.

The martial arts and Taoist scriptures, sword methods and thunder methods are not independent, but complement each other and confirm each other.

The brilliant sword light, wind and thunder rise, and lightning flashes out.

"Puff!!!"

Just one sword, it broke through the demon body and rushed out.

"Pala pala!"

The Jindan monster stood stiffly on the ground, with a sword mark in his chest and abdomen, black hair, demon bones and flesh, all flashing with arcs, sword energy raging, and the power of the five elements penetrating into his body, attacking the five internal organs, forming a five-element cycle, a wheel of mutual generation and mutual restraint.

The system is like a wheel, positive rotation and mutual generation, enhancing its own power, reverse mutual restraint, and increasing damage to the enemy.

Such a blow...

"Boom!!!"

The five-element sword energy exploded, how could the monster's nascent body withstand it, and it was blown into powder in an instant.

"Bang!"

The sword light fell, and Xu Yang's figure appeared, and he also staggered, his mouth was red, and his face was slightly pale.

Jindan, after all, it is a Jindan!

Even if the five-element spiritual roots, superior qualifications, even if the five-element true secrets, top-notch skills, even if several generations of accumulation, strong foundation, even tit-for-tat, righteous law to defeat the devil...

Many advantages can hardly make up for the difference in the cultivation of the two realms, and finally have to pay a little price.

But it was just a small price, painful but still within the acceptable range.

"Huh!!!"

Xu Yang took a deep breath, practiced his skills, and suppressed his injuries.

Then, he raised his hand and a tattered storage bag was taken over.

In fact, he didn't want to press on step by step and risk fighting Shen Hongyu. He really had no choice.

During the pursuit, he had checked Yu Wenjie's storage bag, and there was only one five-element spiritual object suitable for his use.

This is not because Yu Wenjie, as a disciple of the sect, is not as wealthy as Zhu Yang Taoist, a casual cultivator, but most of the spiritual objects on him are extremely cold water objects, not as rich as Zhu Yang Taoist.

If Yu Wenjie can't get them all, he can only chase Shen Hongyu to death. He can't waste time looking for other cultivators.

It is unknown which weapon refining master created the refining method of this storage bag. Although it cannot be used as a protective magic weapon, it is tougher than the same magic weapon. Even if it is broken, the things inside will explode instead of disappearing in time and space.

Looking at the storage bag in his hand, which is tattered but not damaged, Xu Yang sighed and opened it to check.

"It really exists. The five elements spiritual objects are finally complete."

Looking at the last five elements spiritual object needed in the storage bag, Xu Yang nodded and was about to fly away.

But he didn't expect...

"The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror."

"Wipe it frequently and don't let it get dusty."

"..."

"There is no bodhi tree, and the mirror is not a platform."

"Originally, there is nothing, where can dust be raised."

"Amitabha, good, good!"

A burst of verses and poems, and Sanskrit chanting came.

"!!!"

Xu Yang's pupils shrank and focused on the front.

Ahead, in the raging dark fog, a figure was hidden.

He was a monk, a monk in white.

The white monk's robe was stained with blood, spots and shocking.

Where did the blood come from?

In the eye sockets?

In the mouth and nose?

No, it was in a hole!

The monk's face had no pupils, no mouth and nose.

There was only a big hole, a pit of blood and flesh, swallowing up the facial features.

There was also a talisman, a blood-red talisman, pasted on the forehead, like a stun.

He stepped forward, blood flowed out of his head, and there were bones and flesh squirming, faintly forming a face.

The face was twisted in the pit of blood and flesh, emitting a long Sanskrit sound, like the Buddha's chanting.

Sacred?

Evil?

So contradictory, and so fitting.

He stepped forward step by step, and the sound of his chanting was actually a familiar verse in the world.

Bodhi verse!

According to legend, the fifth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, Hongren, ordered the monks in his temple to compose a verse in order to select disciples to inherit the Dharma.

A monk, Shenxiu, advocated gradual enlightenment and composed the Bodhi Gāthā: "The body is the Bodhi tree, the mind is like a mirror, always wipe it diligently, don't let it be covered with dust."

A monk, Huineng, advocated sudden enlightenment, and composed a second verse based on Shenxiu's verse: "There is no Bodhi tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing at all, so where can dust be collected?"

After watching what the two did, Hongren finally thought that Huineng had a higher level of enlightenment, so he secretly gave him the Dharma robe and selected him as the successor, the future Sixth Patriarch of Zen.

This is the story of the Bodhi Gāthā, a story of a genius being overshadowed by another genius.

Who can tell the difference between the two Bodhi Gāthās?

Although later, Huineng and Shenxiu were equally famous in the north and south, the Fifth Patriarch's robe and the Zen Dharma were finally given to Huineng. When people admire the Sixth Patriarch's great wisdom, they can't help but sigh for Shenxiu's loss of color.

Now, is this monk Shenxiu or Huineng?

No, he is...

"There is no Bodhi tree, nor is there a mirror stand."

"Originally there is nothing, so where can dust gather?"

"What is a Bodhi tree, and what is a mirror stand?"

"Hui Neng, Huineng, the most shameless, the most shameless!"

"Steal my work, take my name, flatter my teacher, steal my Dharma!"

"Since Yu was born, why was Liang born? Since Yu was born, why was Liang born!"

"I hate, I hate...!"

"Shenxiu, Shenxiu, you are obsessed with appearances!"

"There is no distinction between high and low Dharma, gradual enlightenment is enlightenment, sudden enlightenment is enlightenment. Enlightenment is enlightenment!"

"There is no high or low in the Dharma. If there is no high or low, why do we still divide Buddha and devil?"

"If the Buddha does not accept me, I will become a devil. The devil is the Buddha and the Buddha is the devil."

"Amitabha, Prajna Mara, Paramita, Tathagata, Bodhisatta!"

"Paramita, Tathagata, Paramita, Bodhisatta!"

"I am compassionate and save all living beings. Follow me to recite the Bodhisatta Heart Sutra!"

"Paramita, Bodhisatta Heart Sutra..."

"Namo Namo Bodhisatta Mara, Namo Namo Bodhisatta Mara..."

The sound of Sanskrit and Zen chanting was like a test from the devil, stirring Xu Yang's soul.
