Chapter 370 Purple Lightning Room Darkened by Thunder and Lightning

The great world of Yuanmang.

From a small rural temple, several vicious officials came out. They were using chains to hook a few monks in rags, dragging them staggering forward.

The middle-aged man in the lead was wearing a black official uniform, with his hands behind his back. He looked around, watching the tigers step by step, and all the passers-by avoided the sides.

Looking at the onlookers casually, the middle-aged man said coldly: "Fellow fellow villagers, the court has a law that prohibits worshiping evil monks. However, you have been deceived by these evil monks this time and tried to learn from the evil methods. Gaining a profit is already a serious crime!”

These words made the surrounding villagers look at each other in panic. Some people remembered that there was once a county town that was directly massacred by the court because of privately practicing evil arts. Thinking of the fate of themselves and others, their legs became weak. He knelt down involuntarily.

Seeing the reaction of the villagers, the middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction and softened his tone: "But if you can take the initiative to inform the Yamen this time, your merits and demerits are balanced, so you can take care of yourself in the future."

After a pause, he pointed at the embarrassed monks and said, "Look, if the magic spells are as powerful as they claim, why can't I get through the third level under my captor? Those magic spells hit me." It’s like tickling Ben’s head!”

Hearing this, the villagers suddenly realized and said something was wrong. It turned out to be like this. Those masters, no, demon monks, used to set fireballs and freeze ice cubes. They looked wonderful, but now they are Ren Datou was beaten down with just a few movements of his hands. Those immortal magic, uh, demonic and evil magic! It seems that they are all just pretending and not very powerful!

Ren Baotou emphasized his tone: "Moreover, I am only an innate warrior, a shaman from the same place. There are also masters of divine will, masters of refining, and saints of martial arts. There are state yamen arresters, provincial yamen arresters, and more." There are six chief catchers in the capital. Compared with them, the strength of this catcher is like the strength of ants on the ground compared with the sun in the sky. Think about it carefully, no matter how strong you learn these demonic and evil spells, you will be able to defeat them. Pass them?"

At this time, the villagers were shocked. Ren Baotou, who had shown such incomparable power just now, could only be regarded as a nobody in the entire court. There were many people above him who were hundreds and thousands of times stronger than him. Although his martial arts training was very They are fairly clear about the level, but it only appears on paper. In the countryside, it is not so easy to see masters.

Finally, Ren Baotou said earnestly and sincerely: "So fellow villagers, practicing martial arts is the way to heaven. You must not let evil and demonic methods blind your mind. As long as any family has a good martial artist, it will have no worries about food and clothing."

The villagers nodded repeatedly, remembering the past when they were deceived by those stinky monks. They picked up stones, rotten vegetable leaves, etc. and threw them at the monks. While throwing them, they shouted: "Kill you stinky monks!" "

"Kill the demon monk!"

"Burn them!"

…

Behind the excited villagers, there was a tall and a short figure wearing a bamboo hat and wearing ordinary ge-colored linen clothes. They quietly lowered their heads and did not look at the scene in front of them.

After the monks were taken away by Captain Ren and the villagers dispersed, the two men mingled among them and returned to a long-abandoned thatched hut at the head of the village that could neither protect them from wind nor rain.

The two took off their bamboo hats, but they were one old and one young. The old one was seventy or eighty years old, and the younger one was only eighty-nine years old. Their hair was very short. Unlike other villagers, they looked more like monks who had just returned to secular life.

The old man, with two long white eyebrows and a face full of wrinkles, frowned and sighed: "Hey, I didn't expect that in such a small rural place, there is no place for my Buddhist school to have a foothold in the mountains. When the water comes, those comrades have already been arrested by the government. Are they really going to dangerous places controlled by monsters, where people are raised as food? "

"Master, do you want to save those senior brothers?" Although the little novice monk is young, he has followed the master for a long journey, and his face has lost a lot of childishness.

The old monk laughed self-deprecatingly: "Since the Arhat's golden body was smashed, I am now a useless person. How can I save them? Huiyuan, if you practice well and open up the six senses one by one, you will be able to meet them in the future." Only when things like this happen can we have the strength to save people.”

The young novice monk Huiyuan nodded, but he was a little restless and moved around.

Seeing this, the old monk smiled and said, "Huiyuan, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask?"

Huiyuan then looked at the master sheepishly and said: "Master, this disciple is still ignorant. There were quite a few of those senior brothers who were enlightened just now, but under that catcher Ren, there was no resistance at all." , I, after successfully practicing my Buddhist skills, can I really fight against those martial arts experts?" There was deep confusion and fear in his tone, as if he was frightened by the battle just now.

Eyes, ears, mouth, nose, body and mind are the six consciousnesses. Only when the six consciousnesses are united can the golden body of Arhat be built, and the seventh consciousness, Manas consciousness, be produced.

After hearing Huiyuan's question, the old monk sighed thoughtfully, as if it brought back distant memories: "Of course, I can. I think when I came to the courtyard in its heyday, there was a Buddha, eighteen Bodhisattvas, and three hundred Arhats. Among those masters, martial sages, and even immortals, none of them are polite to my Buddhist sect, and many of them are even more fawning."

Huiyuan heard his master talk about the past for the first time. He raised his head and asked curiously and pessimistically: "But why is our Buddhist sect so miserable now? Why don't any Bodhisattvas and Buddhas come to save us?"

"Hey, according to the Buddhist scriptures, now should be the Dharma Ending Age, so those who cultivate the physical body can be so powerful, while my Buddhist sect and that sect are declining step by step, and now they don't even have a foothold." The old monk didn't understand the reason for the changes in the past thousand years, and could only assume that the Dharma Ending Age mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures has arrived.

Huiyuan repeated twice: "The Dharma Ending Age, the Dharma Ending Age. Master, what should we do?! Then we have no way out?! Master, your injuries will not be healed?" It can be seen that Huiyuan has a strong admiration for the old monk.

The old monk comforted Huiyuan with a smile and touched his head: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. The Buddhist scriptures also said, 'When the Dharma ends in the future, a Buddha will descend from the heavens beyond the heavens.' At that time, we will be able to get out of the Dharma Ending Age and reopen the Dharma."

"When the Dharma ends in the future, a Buddha will descend from the heavens beyond the heavens. When the Dharma ends in the future, a Buddha will descend from the heavens beyond the heavens..." Huiyuan seemed to have found a support, and kept repeating it. At that time, the Buddha will be able to heal the master's injuries, right?

………

In the city of Laiyang Prefecture, eight large wooden poles were erected at the vegetable market entrance, and eight ragged monks were tied to them. They all hung their heads and chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice.

Captain Ren stood respectfully behind a young man in official uniform: "Sir, the time has come, you can execute the sentence."

The young man nodded gently, stood up, and threw the red stick in his hand down: "Eight evil monks, privately set up temples, taught evil magic, and disrespected the court. They are guilty of serious crimes and should be executed."

The people in charge of the execution listened to the order and each took a basin of black dog blood and poured it on the eight monks.

The eight monks had already begged for mercy a few days ago. Knowing that begging for mercy was useless, they could only recite the Buddhist scriptures: "In the future, at the end of the law, a Buddha will descend from the sky..."

"Humph, it has been hundreds and thousands of years, and their Buddha has never descended." The young man shook his head and sneered. If you want to get greater merit, you must not only unify the world, but also unify people's hearts and the way of cultivation. There must be no more Taoists or Buddhists.

Captain Ren glanced at the young man and smiled flatteringly, "You are right, sir. I have been hearing about the end of the Dharma in the future, and Buddha will come from the heavens. My ears are almost calloused, but I have not seen any Buddha appear."

Captain Ren was very kind to the sir, not because he was the sir, nor because he was a master of divine will, but simply because he was the most beloved youngest son of the King of Zhennan! And the King of Zhennan was one of the most immortal immortals in the world!

Zhuo Tiannan said nothing more. After watching the black dog blood splashed below, he picked up the hundred-tempered steel knife and chopped off the heads of the eight monks.

The heads fell to the ground, blood spurted several feet high, and the chanting of "In the end of the Dharma in the future, Buddha will come from the heavens..." stopped abruptly.

The people surrounding the vegetable market were talking excitedly, but two figures wearing bamboo hats quietly withdrew from the crowd and walked out of the city gate.

"Master, where are we going?"

"Go south, to a place where the court is not so strict."

On the other side, there was a disheveled beggar, holding a tattered wine gourd and putting it into his mouth, laughing crazily: "The Dharma Ending Age, hey, it's really the Dharma Ending Age!" There was a deep sadness in the craziness.

In the famous mountains, in the countryside, by the river... the same scene appeared repeatedly, monks and Taoists were driven out of the already dilapidated temples and Taoist temples, some were killed, some became beggars, some went crazy, and some relied on their mediocre skills or magic to make a living, such as fortune-telling on the street, deceiving fools.

…………

Luoxia Mountain, where the Daohua Sect is located, is now full of flames and smoke. The originally beautiful and fairyland-like place has suddenly become like hell.

There were many Taoist disciples lying on the ground, as well as many corpses dressed as soldiers. However, there were not many Taoist disciples, so how could they compare with the soldiers who came from all over the mountains, not to mention the warriors who could fly after condensing their qi after reaching the Xiantian realm.

A Jindan Grandmaster was about to use his Taoist magic to kill all the soldiers, but a tall warrior in the sky threw a punch at him. As the punch was thrown, seven acupoints on his body emitted white light, forming a majestic giant tiger on his body.

The fist overlapped with the mouth of the giant tiger, and it crossed a distance of hundreds of miles and hit the Jindan Grandmaster. His protective Taoist magic, spiritual tools, and divine light all shattered with a squeak, causing the fist to hit him directly.

Bang, the Jindan Grandmaster's body collapsed, and his soul was devoured by the giant tiger. He died and a low roar came out of his mouth: "Martial Saint!"

In the back hall of Luoxia Palace, a beautiful pregnant woman was looking at the others with tears in her eyes: "Dad, Mom, let's escape together!"

The middle-aged cultivator sighed: "I didn't expect that my Daohua Sect would retreat to a remote place in southern Xinjiang and still be suppressed by the court. Today, the King of Zhennan sent a martial saint. He will never give up unless he captures me, the leader, your mother, the leader's wife, and those Jindan Grandmasters. If we escape with you, it will only implicate you. It is better to block the pursuers here for you so that you can escape through the secret passage."

After a pause, he smiled calmly: "Besides, my husband Wei Kuan is the leader of Daohua Sect. If I escape privately at this time, how will those disciples who died for the sect feel? How can I be worthy of the ancestors of all generations."

And the young woman who was equally beautiful and looked like a sister to the crying woman touched the woman's head with a kind smile: "Pei Ning, after you escape, go to the border between Tiannan Province and Southern Xinjiang. I will take refuge with your uncle in Jiyi Town. Don’t mention anything about spiritual practice in the future. Just raise your child safely and let him practice martial arts.”

Fortunately, my younger brother has no talent for cultivation and has nothing to do with Taoism. Otherwise, the world is so big and I don’t know where to go! Mrs. Wei, who had achieved the golden elixir after practicing for more than 130 years, was somewhat fortunate to think that she also gave him some life-extending elixirs. She thought that if her brother lived to be 150 years old, it would not be a problem, and he would be able to take care of his daughter and grandson. decades.

"Mom, daddy." Wei Peining cried out.

Head Wei glanced at his favorite disciple Gu Canghai, smiled lightly and said: "Canghai, take Pei Ning and leave quickly. The inheritance of Daohua Sect will depend on you in the future."

Gu Canghai, who was in the Soul Stage, shouted hoarsely: "Master..."

"Come on, I, Kuanfu Wei, don't have a mother-in-law or a mother, so I can be a disciple like a daughter." Head Wei waved his sleeves and looked impatient.

Gu Canghai immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Master, take care." Then Wei Peining, who was reluctant to leave, headed for the secret passage. The reason why he didn't need to teleport was because he was afraid that space fluctuations would attract the attention of the Martial Saint.

Seeing his daughter and son-in-law enter the secret passage, Wei Kuanfu laughed and said, "Xiang Rong, I would like to accompany my husband to meet the martial saint for a while."

Mrs. Wei smiled sweetly: "I have long wanted to test how strong the Martial Saint is."

The two of them walked to the main hall hand in hand, with a leisurely attitude, as if they were going to a banquet for exchanges of Taoism and Dharma.

"I remember that when I first started, our Daohua Sect was still in the East County, but now it is in the Southern Xinjiang. It's really unpredictable."

"Haha, when I started, you were already in the stage of entrainment, but you were still looking at others stupidly."

"Hehe, you are so lustful and admire Shaoai."

"You, it's true that the situation is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change."

"At that time, hey, at that time, the master, master, uncle, uncle, brother, and brother were the only ones who could survive until now. You and I were the only ones alive. The others all died at the hands of the imperial court."

"It seems that we cannot escape our fate. I hope that Canghai and Pei Ning will not be involved in Taoist affairs in the future."

"Don't be so depressed. Doesn't it say in the Taoist scriptures, 'When the Dharma comes to an end, a saint will appear'? Maybe my grandson, Wei Kuanfu, will be able to see a saint born and the Taoist sect prosper again."

"You, you are such a tough talker. Hey, actually I want to see it too."

…

Due to the distance, the voices of the two people reaching the back hall became smaller and smaller, and gradually became silent. The entire back hall became extremely quiet, until the huge sound of fighting came from the front.

…………

An inconspicuous hill in the remnants of Luoxia Mountain.

When Gu Canghai and Wei Peining came out of the hidden valley, they looked back to the south and happened to see a huge white tiger roaring in virtual form on the top of the mountain, the sound shaking the sky.

"Father, mother." Wei Peining muttered to herself in grief.

Gu Canghai took a deep breath: "Ningmei, we must leave quickly. Only by living well can we continue to practice and hope to avenge our master and my wife."

Wei Peining took a deep breath after hearing this, and the look of sadness on her face disappeared, leaving only determination: "Brother Canghai, let's go north to Jiyi Town."

"Yeah, but let's go around in a circle first to avoid being tagged." Gu Canghai nodded.

One of them is in the soul stage and the other is in the qi-entraining stage. They have both developed true qi. However, they are surrounded by enemies on all sides. If they use the light or earth escape technique rashly, they will only be killed. So the two of them used magic techniques. , Hidden Qi, invisible, and cautiously headed toward the northeast.

The Luoxia Mountain formation has been broken, and there are officers and soldiers everywhere chasing Taoist disciples. Although most of those officers and soldiers are just exercising their bodies and nourishing their energy, the Taoist disciples who can escape alive are all low-level disciples who are looked down upon by the masters who attacked the mountain. Monk.

Although a small number of them were gifted with small magical powers, their souls were not strong. They used it more than ten or twenty times and killed about ten officers and soldiers before they were powerless. Then they were swarmed by the remaining dozens of officers and soldiers and their bodies were torn apart with random swords.

Seeing the tragic situation of their fellow disciples, Gu Canghai and Wei Peining couldn't bear the anger and grief in their hearts. They tried to save people several times, but were frightened back by the innate warriors and divine masters flying in the sky.

Gritting their teeth, the two of them walked more and more secluded. When they turned around the mouth of the valley and were about to escape from the pursuit, a long laugh suddenly sounded from the front: "I didn't expect that I, Mao Shaowu, was a little late, but I caught a big fish." Gu Canghai, The top master among the young generation of Daohua Sect, the most promising person in the cultivation world to achieve high-grade golden elixir. Hehe, the cultivation world and Daohua Sect are useless, and they were killed by the King of Zhennan. "

A young warrior with a long body and luxurious robes came out from behind the valley and stood in front of the two of them. At the same time, he emitted a powerful aura from afar, locking Gu Canghai and Wei Peining in place. The two people's invisibility and concealing energy failed.

"The person who can evade my spiritual consciousness detection seems to be a master with perfect divine will series, and his will is integrated into the Gang Qi." Gu Canghai used his spiritual consciousness to say to Wei Peining, "Ningmei, I will entangle him, you first Let’s go and meet at the edge of the wild forest.”

The escape route chosen by the two people is very particular. Not far from the valley here is a wild giant forest. There is a big demon sitting in it. The men of Zhennan King dare not enter rashly. Once they reach the edge of the place, they will be safe for the time being. Instead of going deeper, they can still do it by quietly following the edge to the north with their magic skills.

Wei Peining knew that her strength was too weak, and her soul was suppressed by the martial arts will. Not only could she not help her husband, but she would also become a burden, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Then Peining will wait for you there, and she will never leave without seeing you."

Gu Canghai's life weapon, the Canghai Sword, unfolded, turned into a blue wave and slashed towards Mao Shaowu. Mao Shaowu sneered, and the protective white aura emerged, wrapped around a large golden ring knife to meet the Canghai Sword. Wei Peining took this opportunity to perform the earth escape technique and went to the back of the valley.

Mao Shaowu was not in a hurry. He clenched his left fist and was about to hit a certain position on the ground with the aura. However, at this time, Gu Canghai's magic had already attacked. Mao Shaowu had to block the aura towards the magic, but he made up his mind to kill Gu Canghai first. The woman who was pregnant in the Qi Induction Stage would be easily captured by then.

…………

Wei Peining waited anxiously at the edge of the wild giant forest, fearing that her husband would be killed. After a quarter of an hour, a blue light flew over very quickly and landed in front of her, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

But when the blue light disappeared and Gu Canghai's figure appeared inside, he fell to the ground softly with blood oozing from his mouth.

"Brother Canghai! Husband! How are you?" After Wei Peining shouted twice, she was not at a loss. Instead, she cheered up, gave Gu Canghai the elixir, and performed magic to heal him.

Gu Canghai woke up slowly and smiled: "I didn't break my promise. Mao Shaowu has been killed by me, but I'm afraid it will take several months to recover from this injury. Next, I'll trouble you, Sister Ning."

Wei Peining breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her husband's life was not threatened. She smiled comfortingly: "Brother Canghai, don't worry. I am also a master of the Qi-inducing stage." She wrapped her true Qi and carried her husband on her back. After eliminating the trace of breath, she went north along the edge.

…………

Not to mention the hardships along the way, Wei Peining, a spoiled girl, suffered a lot of hardships and injuries. Finally, she came to a dilapidated temple outside Jiyi Town with her husband on her back. The two decided to rest for a day and go to the temple tomorrow.

"Husband, what are our plans for the future?" Wei Peining leaned against her husband and asked about the future.

Gu Canghai said without hesitation: "Let's avoid the sharp edge for the time being. When the child is seven or eight years old, we will sharpen our hearts for the soul and the golden elixir respectively."

Wei Peining looked at the moonlight coming through the big hole above the dilapidated temple, and said faintly: "Dad often said that when the end of the law comes, the saint will come out. I don't know if it's true or not?"

Gu Canghai said categorically: "It must be true." Only in this way can there be hope for revenge. .

After hearing Gu Canghai's answer, Wei Peining nodded with a firm look on her face, but she suddenly said: "Husband, is there a purple cloud in the sky?!"

Gu Canghai's injuries had not yet recovered, and he barely looked up: "No, is it over?"

"Maybe."

…………

The next day, Fang Mansion in Jiyi Town.

"Miss cousin, my old master, the eldest master, and the eldest young master are not in the mansion. They happened to be out. You can stay here temporarily." Fang Mansion's housekeeper smiled and pointed to the secluded courtyard in front of him, and said to Gu Canghai and Wei Peining.

Wei Peining was about to expose his lie, but Gu Canghai pulled her and said first: "Thank you, housekeeper. We will visit my uncle when he returns home."

After the housekeeper left, Wei Peining said to her husband: "I have clearly sensed the presence of my uncle, cousin and nephew, but they said they were not there. Even if they were not there, it is only natural for me to visit my sister-in-law."

Gu Canghai smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe my uncle and his family are afraid that we will bring disaster. Forget it, the child will be born in a few days. After he is born, we will raise him for a few more days, and then we will find another place. Even if we don't use magic, with our skills, we can support ourselves anywhere."

Wei Peining said with a little hatred: "When I collected the elixir, I didn't think it would be a disaster."

…………

In the study room of Fang Mansion.

The old man of the Fang family, who is over a hundred years old but looks only in his sixties or seventies, sighed and said, "What a sin! How can I face my elder sister after I die? How can I face her in the underworld!"

The son he had in his later years, the nearly fifty-year-old eldest master of the Fang family, said coldly, "Dad, if we help them, our family will be destroyed. Aren't our lives lives?"

The old man of the Fang family was silent for a long time before saying, "If you don't say it and I don't say it, who would have thought of it?"

"Those martial arts masters have sharper noses than dogs!" said the eldest son of the Fang family in his thirties, "Moreover, if we report this to the mansion, the benefits we can get are not just elixirs. Maybe your great-grandson will be accepted as a disciple by a master of divine will or even a master of refining orifices. Grandpa, don't you want it?"

"No, don't mention it! At most, drive them away!" The old man of the Fang family was furious, stood up suddenly, and drove all his sons and grandsons out.

After leaving the study, the eldest master of the Fang family looked at the eldest son of the Fang family and nodded approvingly: "You know your grandfather well and know that he will give in. Do you really want to tell on him?"

"Of course, but not now, so as not to alert the enemy. Wait until the storm has passed and grandfather is not paying attention, then go. The matter is done and he has nothing to say. Besides, by then, my cousin will be giving birth, so she will be unable to escape." The eldest son of the Fang family said viciously.

The eldest master of the Fang family nodded and suddenly laughed: "Aren't you afraid of revenge from those Taoists? Your aunt was extremely powerful back then, and your cousin and her husband were not weak either."

"Dad, haven't you seen it clearly yet? This is the age of the end of the Dharma. We practice martial arts and train our bodies. How can we be better than Taoist priests! Huh, it's a joke that the Dharma is coming and the saints are coming." The eldest young master of the Fang family has a conceited look. First class.

…………

Five days later at dusk, Wei Peining's fetus moved and Gu Canghai was seriously injured. Neither of them was able to use their consciousness or spiritual sense to explore the surrounding situation.

Near the small courtyard, many officers and soldiers were ambushed, including many innate warriors and a master of divine will. This master of divine will was the deputy general of King Zhennan who was stationed in Lingxin Mansion. After he knew the news, he hid the news from other colleagues and secretly came to Jiyi Town with his private guards. He wanted to monopolize this skill, but a spiritual soul seriously injured the monk. , a pregnant woman who is about to give birth is not yet at her fingertips.

The three people of the Fang family and some family members were waiting in a nearby yard. There were the old man and his family members of the Fang family who didn't know the situation and were concerned about Wei Peining, and there were also the eldest man and young master of the Fang family who knew the situation and were excited and uneasy.

Wei Peining was a Qi-inducing monk, so naturally she didn't invite Wen Po. She worked hard on her own to give birth to the child, while Gu Canghai waited anxiously in front of the screen.

Suddenly, the originally bright sky suddenly darkened, billowing dark clouds gathered, and then a streak of purple clouds broke out from the dark clouds, falling like a meteor into the room where Wei Peining was.

As the purple clouds disappeared, rolling thunder came from the dark clouds, all kinds of thunder lights appeared simultaneously, and thousands of silver snakes danced wildly, it was so spectacular.

This change in the celestial phenomena shocked the watching Fang family and the masters who were lying in wait.

Wei Peining was half awake and half dazed when she suddenly felt a ray of purple clouds coming into her arms. Then she suddenly woke up, her stomach lightened, and the whole room was suddenly filled with purple light and a strange fragrance.

Purple light lingered in the room, and outside there were thousands of silver snakes and all kinds of thunderous lights. The huge thunder suddenly stopped, the dark clouds dissipated, and a ray of bright sunlight appeared.

Seeing this strange situation, Gu Canghai turned to the screen and, together with Wei Peining who woke up, looked at the baby sitting on a sacred golden bridge in front of him in surprise, with blossoming golden lotus protecting him, boundless purple light surrounding his body, and bursts of strange fragrance. .

The baby opened his eyes suddenly, half black and half white, jumped off the golden bridge, walked seven steps in all directions, then pointed one finger to the sky and the other to the ground, and uttered eight words:

"I am the only one in heaven and under heaven!"
