Chapter 1374 Fengdu Appears in the World
Golden Buddha Temple, Tathagata Hall, the main hall is like a forest.
The midday sun shines on the towering gilded roof of the main hall, splashing a dazzling golden curtain for a day.
Bright and upright, the kingdom of golden light.
But the back of the tall building covers a large area of gray space.
In the shadow, a stone Buddha about ten feet tall stands alone, with his hands clasped together and his eyes slightly closed.
In a corner not far away, four little mice came in from nowhere.
Suddenly, these mice twisted wildly as if they were possessed by evil spirits, and their bodies were pulled out of exaggerated angles by invisible strange forces.
Suddenly, in silence, several glittering golden threads flashed out of thin air, and then disappeared.
In just a moment, the heads of several mice were cut off from their bodies by the golden threads.
The next terrifying thing was that it seemed that some kind of power was secretly absorbing the bodies of the mice.
The bodies of these mice quickly turned into bones, and then the bones turned black and collapsed, leaving a rotten smell in the air.
The stone Buddha was silent.
It seemed as if they were quietly praying for the few lives that had just passed away, or just watching from the sidelines.
Whoosh-whoosh--
Several figures landed not far from the stone Buddha.
The four people who came stood still, all with red brocade robes flying across their bodies. Judging from their backs and bald heads, they should be four monks.
"It stinks. Why are there a few dead rats here? I hate rats living in black holes the most." One of the monks pinched his nose and said.
"This place is managed by the Housiyuan under the Rulai Hall. It is one of the forbidden areas in the temple. Any living creature that enters here will first fall into the illusion restriction, even rats are not immune. Everyone, hold the soul-stabilizing talisman in your hand, otherwise even we will fall into the illusion and cannot extricate ourselves."
Their pupils turned golden almost at the same time, and then reflected several flying fairies in gorgeous clothes.
The flying fairies pounced on them, trying to tease them.
"The illusion is here. This is not the real paradise." A monk reminded loudly.
The four monks clenched the soul-stabilizing talismans in their hands and activated their bodies.
Golden light rolled out from their palms, their chaotic heartbeats returned to normal, and the illusions in their eyes faded away.
"Amitabha, good, good."
The monks chanted the Buddha's words in unison and walked quickly towards the stone Buddha.
As they approached the stone Buddha, interlaced golden threads appeared in the empty void.
The surface of the golden threads flashed with magic light, connected into pieces, reflecting a huge golden spider web.
As the four monks continued to approach the stone Buddha, an eight-eyed golden spider the size of a millstone appeared.
The golden beast coiled on the golden web, crawled out along the golden threads, and made a fierce gesture of grinding its teeth towards the monks, making a strange squeaking sound.
"This eight-eyed golden spider is out again. It's so troublesome every time it comes here."
"It is a vicious spirit imprisoned in the formation, specializing in devouring the physical strength of living beings. As the center of the formation, this beast is still qualified."
"Hurry up and perform the ritual, otherwise we will be in trouble when this vicious spirit launches an attack."
The four monks hurriedly performed the ritual, and one after another of the rituals fell on the surface of the stone Buddha.
The golden Sanskrit characters flashed between the eyebrows of the stone Buddha.
Then, the heavy stone Buddha began to turn in place.
Not long after, a dark secret passage was revealed on the ground where the stone Buddha originally stood. The four monks did not speak, and their figures quickly disappeared into it.
The stone Buddha returned to its original place, and the golden spider and its spider web formation quietly disappeared.
At the end of the secret passage was a secret room made of fine iron.
In the secret room.
On the east side of the wall, several gilded lamps in the shape of Buddha's hands were lit.
Four monks in red sat around a square table.
The side light illuminated half of their faces, and the other half of their faces were hidden in the shadows.
"I declare that the first secret meeting of the highest-level executive elders of the Tathagata Hall this month has officially begun. The first topic is to talk about the former Jinyu Saint Son."
"The former Jinyu Saint Son went to the Western Regions and never returned. It has been ten months and twenty-eight days since he left our Golden Buddha Temple. A few days ago, intelligence came from the Western Regions that the former Jinyu Saint Son had merged with the Demonic Dao Xuantian Lingbao Tianmo Gun and completely fell into the path of Yuanmo."
"The day this boy left the Golden Buddha Temple without permission, I expected this to be the outcome. The innate demon root in his body is difficult to remove. Now that the power of Yuanmo has awakened, the world has added a big demon. It is really a great sin."
"He is no longer the Jinyu Saint Son, but the Western Region Demon Son."
"He is the Western Region Demon Son, and even more our enemy."
"I didn't expect that the genius Saint Son cultivated by our Golden Buddha Temple Tathagata Hall for twenty years , and eventually became the world-shaking demon, which is really a great irony to our belief in the Golden Buddha. "
"This matter has long been spread widely, which has destroyed the dignity of our Golden Buddha Temple. Now that things have come to this, the Tathagata Hall, as the deliberative elders' council of the Golden Buddha Temple, bears an unshirkable responsibility. "
"If we had known this earlier, we might as well have taken action against him while he was under house arrest in the Tathagata Hall."
"With Uncle Jiuku backing this boy, even if our Tathagata Hall elders' council has the right to speak, it is difficult to take direct action."
"After merging with the Heavenly Demon Spear, Jin Yu's power has greatly increased, and it is really difficult to deal with. If he starts killing people in our Golden Buddha Temple in the future, Uncle Jiuku has an unshirkable responsibility. "
"I suggest that the former Jin Yu Saint Son be assassinated immediately to correct the way of the Golden Buddha to eliminate demons. "
At this point, several monks nodded in unison, and the cold light like a knife floated in their eyes when they looked at each other.
"Next, let's talk about the second topic, which is also the most difficult one at the moment. A quick report came from the Lost Soul Valley that there was a big problem with the Tathagata Demon Subduing Formation we set up in the Lost Soul Valley, and we have lost contact now."
"Could it be that the demon formation on the other side of the Lost Soul Valley launched an attack? Even so, with the power of the Tathagata Demon Subduing Formation, it will not be defeated in a short time. What's more, the three martial arts guardian monks of my Tathagata Hall are responsible for guarding the formation. Each martial arts guardian has a cultivation level above the second level of the virtual fairyland, and they are directly under the Tathagata Hall. The strongest fighting force. "
"Don't forget, that Jinyu Demon is familiar with all the scriptures in the Tathagata Hall, including the highest-level martial arts scripture, the Tathagata Demon Subduing Formation. If the Western Region Demon Clan sends him to lead the way in breaking the formation, our Tathagata Demon Subduing Formation will be greatly reduced."
"Your guess is reasonable, but it is not the whole truth. Because the intelligence also mentioned that the Yuanmo Formation set up by the Western Region Demon Clan on the other side of the Lost Soul Valley is also out of control.
"
......
In the Zhongyuan Continent, at the junction of the Western Region and the Northern Region, there is a long and narrow valley.
The valley is surrounded by steep mountains on the east and west sides, and the valley is relatively flat.
The terrain here is as long and narrow as a dragon. It is one of the main roads between the Western Region and the Northern Region, and has always been a battleground for military strategists.
In the valley, there is often a whistling sound of wind, commonly known as the Big Wind Valley.
In the human-demon war a thousand years ago, this was an important battlefield, and tens of thousands of soldiers from both sides of the war fell in it.
After the war, a large group of dark evil spirits settled in the low-lying areas of the valley, and the wind was blowing, as if there were ghosts wailing.
Some people tried to explore the valley, but they got lost at best, and went crazy on the spot at worst. Since then, this valley has become a chaotic forbidden place.
In order to demonstrate Buddhism, the Golden Buddha Temple specially sent a team of monks from the temple into the valley to perform rituals in order to save the dead.
The monks set up the Buddhist salvation array, but they were backfired by the evil spirits in the valley and returned in defeat.
Then the Golden Buddha Temple came forward and invited the ghost master of the Heavenly Ghost Sect to enter and inspect the scene, and finally came to a conclusion.
The remains of the soldiers in the valley decayed, and the corrupt air accumulated and produced corpse poison. In addition, the huge resentful spirit power generated by the killing on the battlefield, the two combined and transformed into the terrifying evil power of the underworld.
Coincidentally, the location of the valley is very special, resonating with a certain space node in the distant underworld, forming a natural ghost array.
After that, the valley was renamed the Valley of Lost Souls, and no one dared to enter it again.
For a thousand years, the evil spirit in the Valley of Lost Souls gradually became dormant. But with the reappearance of the Western Region Demons a few months ago, this place has become a strategic route for military strategists to fight for.
Therefore, the Western Region Demons and the Golden Buddha Temple in the Northern Region sent heavy troops to station at both ends of the Valley of Lost Souls.
Both sides set up a large formation to confront each other.
On the northwest side of the valley, the Western Region Demons sent thousands of demon soldiers led by the Three Demon Lords to set up a Yuanmo Killing God Formation.
In the Yuanmo Killing God Formation, demonic energy rolled, purple lightning snakes, and gods and men retreated.
On the southeast side of the valley, the Golden Buddha Temple sent three Dharma protectors from the Tathagata Hall to lead a thousand well-trained monks to set up a Tathagata Demon Subduing Formation.
In the Tathagata Demon Subduing Formation, golden light sparkled, golden lightning dragons flew, and evil demons were not invaded.
The two large formations were separated by dozens of miles and confronted each other, guarding the necessary passages at both ends of the valley.
The reason why both sides set up the big formation was nothing more than mutual distrust, and they were afraid that the other side would launch a surprise attack through the Lost Soul Valley.
It can be said that the purpose of both sides setting up the big formation was not to attack, but to defend their own end.
Therefore, after the two big formations were completed, the two sides were at peace.
But on this day, before dawn, the earth suddenly shook with the valley as the center.
For a moment, the ground light suddenly appeared, the earth collapsed, the wind howled, and the evil spirit boiled.
The violent change lasted for an hour.
After the change, the space in the valley changed, and a bottomless pit appeared.
Dark black evil spirits drilled out of the giant pit, accompanied by rumbling sounds, as if a ghost dragon from the underworld appeared.
Due to the twisting of time and space, the big formations originally arranged at both ends of the Lost Soul Valley fell into a state of out of control.
Under the traction of the space dislocation of the two big formations that were originally separated by dozens of miles, they actually moved towards each other and finally collided with each other.
Both sides, not knowing the situation, thought that the other side had suddenly launched an attack, and the power of the formation was fully activated.
In the Tathagata Demon Subduing Formation, thousands of warrior monks led by three Dharma-protecting monks worked together to control it, and countless golden ribbons spun out of the formation.
There were Sanskrit marks on each golden ribbon, connected into a chapter, and the sound of Sanskrit sounded like the roar of a Nujiang River.
"Buddhist magic skill - Tianzong Vajra!" The three monks in charge shouted in unison.
Next, those golden ribbons entangled together like obedient golden dragons, transforming into a Buddhist Vajra Dharma image with a height of hundreds of feet and wearing golden armor.
On the other side, in the Yuanmo Killing God Formation, thousands of demon soldiers blew the magic flute together, and with the sound of the magic flute as a guide, a purple thunderstorm was brought.
In the middle of the purple thunder tide, a huge magic vortex formation appeared.
The three demon lords merged into a three-headed and six-armed appearance, sitting in the center of the formation, and exerted all their strength to perform the spiritual method.
The demon lord stood still, and his six palms pushed up.
"Demon God Spiritual Communication Technique - Yuan Mo War God!"
The magic vortex array in the sky was instantly activated.
The magic vortex rolled, and purple air rolled out from the center, and then turned into a terrifying snake shape.
Several huge demon snakes of a hundred feet in height coiled together, and finally transformed into a Yuan Mo War God Dharma image of a hundred feet in height.
The two Baizhang Dharma Figures summoned by both sides each absorbed the power of the formation and began to fight.
"Buddha's Dharma—Devil-Conquering God's Palm!"
The golden Buddha pushes his palms, the golden curtain is lit, and the thunder rolls from the sky.
"Magic curse - Dou Tian Zhan Fist!"
The Yuan Demon raised its arms, the purple lightning dragons gathered, and the strong wind hunted.
The power of the two behemoths' spells collided with each other, erupting into dazzling golden and purple light balls, followed by a huge shock wave that swept across like a divine blade.
The surrounding mountain peaks were harvested by divine power, and the broken rocks were directly shattered by the exploding wind.
In just a moment, a hundred miles in radius collapsed into powder.
Not long after the battle began, both sides discovered that the power of the underworld was invading, causing the formation to go out of control.
However, due to the formation being out of control, the two sides fighting could not stop at all.
The summoned Baizhang King Kong and Baizhang Demon God were infected by the power of the underworld, and began to turn black, with their bodies turning black and multiple bone armors appearing outside their bodies.
The Buddha is not a Buddha, and the devil is not a devil, but more like ghosts and gods.
The two blackened giants continued to forcefully consume the power of the formation, causing everyone on both sides to control the formation to be exhausted.
One side of the Yuan Demon Killing God Formation.
The three Demon Lords who control the formation sit at the center of the formation in the form of Yuan Demon with three heads and six arms.
"Our formation is completely out of control. If we continue to fight like this, we will be buried with the Yuan Demon Killing Formation." The Purple Shadow Demon Lord among the three heads said with a solemn expression.
"Since you fight, fight with your life. At worst, you will die together with those bald donkeys on the opposite side." One of the heads of Zifeng Demon Lord said through gritted teeth.
"We, the Three Demon Lords, are protected by the power of the Yuan Demon and are immortal beings. Even if the body collapses, as long as the spirit remains, we can be reborn. What are we afraid of?" Although the Purple Blood Demon Lord's head spoke forcefully, his head was twitching. The cheek muscles revealed the fear in his heart.
In fact, the three Demon Lords all know that once the Yuan Demon Killing God Array collapses, they will be completely destroyed.
fruit.
One side of the Tathagata Demon Subduing Formation.
The three martial arts protector monks from Tathagata Hall were radiating golden splendor, and their bodies were like golden Buddha statues.
But as time went by, vein-like cracks began to appear on their golden bodies.
"I, Buddha Tathagata, subjugate demons and defend the Way!"
"The right path of Buddhism cannot be retreated!"
"Everything comes as it is!"
Although the words of the three guardian monks were categorical, they could not change the situation where the body was about to collapse, and the corners of everyone's mouths overflowed with bright red.
The next strange thing is that the two formations did not collapse, but gradually merged under the pull of the power of the netherworld, turning into a brand new ghost formation.
All the people involved in the formation on both sides were trapped in the formation of ghosts and gods. Their life and death were unknown and they lost contact.
...
The news soon spread to the Golden Buddha Temple and the Western Region Demon Clan respectively.
Both sides sent their men to check, but they never returned after entering the formation of ghosts and gods.
After that, the Tathagata Hall of the Golden Buddha Temple immediately sent out a Northern Territory Hero Post to seek help from the other three sects of the Northern Territory, Qinglian Dojo, Yu Daomen and Tiangui Sect.
After the Tiangui Sect received the hero's post, it immediately held a meeting of elders headed by the sect leader Yu Cheng.
"If something goes wrong in the Golden Buddha Temple, the portal of the Northern Territory in the direction of the Western Territory will be wide open, and the war will soon spread to the entire Northern Territory. Our Tiangui Sect cannot be alone." Sect leader Yu Cheng explained.
"Urgent information has just been sent. The evil spirit in the direction of the Valley of Lost Souls is surging like sea water pouring in. The stars in the sky are dim and the pits are boiling. It is probably a sign that Fengdu is here." Ning Tianqi frowned.
"Fengdu appears!"
After hearing the news, the sect leader Yu Cheng and all the elders of the Tiangui Sect expressed surprise in unison.
"There are various signs that it is likely to be the incident in Fengdu." Ning Tianqi affirmed.
"If this is really the case, this will be a big trouble. Although our Tiangui Sect believes in the divine power of heavenly ghosts, except for a few disciples with special physiques and special ghost ways, they are completely unable to deal with the power of the netherworld that really comes from the underworld. Accepted. To put it bluntly, we are a human race, not a ghost race.”
A hunchbacked, gray-haired elder spoke emotionally as his trembling fingers flipped through a yellowed ancient book.
"It's Fengdu who appears in this world, it's Fengdu who appears in this world. It's recorded in the classics in my hand. You can read it clearly here."
The white-haired elder with a hunchback took a breath first, and then read carefully: "In extremely rare circumstances, the space nodes in the underworld will resonate with the space nodes in the Zhongyuan world, causing space chaos. If a space channel appears, it will This is the change of Fengdu, also known as the disaster of Fengdu."
Having said this, the elder's eyes were already straightened, as if he had seen the terrifying future of the invasion of evil spirits from the underworld.
After hearing this, all the senior officials of Tiangui Sect present were stunned.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Ning Tianqi took over the words and said bluntly: "The world in Fengdu is experiencing serious interface chaos, and the next step is likely to be a large-scale invasion from the underworld."
Sect leader Yu Cheng placed a hand on his long beard, which was shaking a little under his cheek, and his face was ashen.
He took a long breath and then said slowly: "In the early days when the Tiangui Sect was founded, there was an interface channel between the underworld and the Zhongyuan world.
The original intention of the creation of the Tiangui Sect at that time was to avoid the scourge of the Netherworld. Only those who were good at ghost ways could survive in an environment where the power of the Netherworld was rampant.
And now, if the real power of the underworld comes from the direction of the underworld, it will definitely be a catastrophe. "
Ning Tianqi said: "Fengdu has appeared in the world. If it is not stopped in time, the consequences will be disastrous. The only person in the entire Tiangui Sect who can deal with this matter directly is the Yaksha Dragon Snake Master who is in seclusion in the ghost tomb."
The eyes of the sect leader Yu Cheng lit up and said: "I will go to invite the Yaksha Dragon Snake Master in person immediately."
The next morning, a group of Tiangui Sect leaders led by Yu Cheng appeared outside the Tiangui Sect mountain gate.
The atmosphere was mysterious and solemn.
A black python more than ten feet long was coiled there, like a black mountain.
On the nose of the black python, a skinny old man in black stood steadily.
Another team of carefully selected Tiangui Sect elite disciples stood neatly behind.
There were two people in the team who were familiar to Xu Yang, one was Guigu Zan, and the other was Li Zhen.
Guigu Zan had a ghost body with three lives returning to the same place.
And Li Zhen used the Burial Spirit Treasure Mirror as a medium to practice the pure ghost method, and his body also became a half-ghost body under the influence of the Burial Spirit Treasure Mirror.
"Fengdu has appeared, hehe."
Yaksha Dragon Snake looked at the northwest with a pair of vertical pupils, thinking.
"More than a thousand years ago, I got the ghost way method left by Master in the Heavenly Ghost Sect by chance, and was fortunate to become his last disciple.
Although I have never seen Master's true body, I have always admired his great achievements. The disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect all know that Master's name is Zang Wuya, and he founded the Heavenly Ghost Sect, but no one knows Master's name, Fengdu Ghost God."
Thinking of this, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Fengdu has appeared, and I, Yaksha Dragon Snake, am here." He tapped his toes, "Xiaojiu, let's go."
The huge black python under his feet seemed to understand his words, twisted its body, and turned into a rolling black wind.
"I'll go first."
The voice of Yaksha Dragon Snake came from the distant black wind.
"Let's catch up with the Dragon Snake Ancestor." Li Zhen shouted loudly while unfolding the Burial Spirit Treasure Mirror in his hand.
The Soul Burial Treasure Mirror glowed with golden light, and a flying ghost beast with an eagle body and a ghost face emerged from it.
Li Zhen jumped on it and chased after it.
Guigu Zan had a blank expression on his face, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, while the white skeleton lying on his back became excited, twisting and turning into a ghost armor covering his body.
"Ghost Escape - Skeleton Earth Walk!"
Guigu Zan's body sank into the soil and disappeared in an instant.
The other few people cast spells in a panic, but they couldn't catch up with the shadow of the Yaksha Dragon Snake at all.
Sect Master Yu Cheng smiled awkwardly and said, "The Yaksha Dragon Snake Ancestor never follows the routine. I didn't even have a chance to say a word of blessing before he left."
Ning Tianqi, who stood beside Sect Master Yu Cheng, said nothing, muttering in his heart, "The Yaksha Dragon Snake Ancestor seems to act eccentrically, but he has his reasons. If these people can't even keep up with his pace, how can they survive the disaster in Fengdu. Those who can keep up, will follow. Those who can't keep up, may leave their lives behind."
......
