Chapter 537: Karma and Reincarnation
The nine Buddhist cultivators all changed color.
Even the Nascent Soul Buddhist cultivators, the most powerful cultivators in the world, were terrified when facing the fish woman's body that looked like a mountain.
Previously, the nine monks had besieged only the old locust tree.
Now, what appeared in front of the nine monks was a snake-shaped fish that was thousands of feet long and endless. The fish head was facing the nine monks. The fish eyes were huge, like huge millstones, staring at the nine Nascent Soul Buddhist cultivators opposite with fierce light flashing.
The White Horse Temple's intelligent Zen master, who was the leader of the nine Buddhist cultivators, was also full of bitterness, shock, and suspicion at this time-how could the fish woman revive her body! ?
Previously, the fish woman had launched several waves of strong attacks, but they were all resolved by the nine Buddhist cultivators. At that time, the intelligent Zen master thought that the three Benchu had found the grass-headed miasma mother and was collecting the three sects' treasures according to the instructions of the two holy monks.
According to the previous instructions of the two holy monks, if the three treasures were to be taken away, it would inevitably alarm the fish woman's body. Therefore, the two holy monks had already had a plan to deal with it. If everything went well, the fish woman would have some unusual movements, but she would never wake up completely like now.
Now it seems that something has changed!
Master Zhineng was thinking about it, but the fish woman did not give the nine monks too much time.
The fish woman was half awake and half asleep, and was attacked by the nine monks. She was already furious, but her tail was nailed by the Bodhi tree and could not move freely. Now that she has regained her freedom, the fish woman naturally wants to save some face from these old bald donkeys.
The fish woman opened her huge mouth, which was too big to be true, and suddenly gushed out streams of water, wind, air, and whirlpools, sweeping straight towards the nine monks...
For a while, the nine monks showed their best, not seeking merit, but seeking no mistakes.
Let's talk about Chanyin again. Xiao Mian was nowhere to be seen. The three sects' treasures had all disappeared, and Yu Fu had regained her freedom. Chanyin sighed and turned away.
When they arrived at the station, Chanyin told the whole story to Nun Jingyin, and of course, Benchu and Huijing who were waiting on the side.
After hearing Chanyin's words, the three people had different expressions.
"Not good!"
With a cry of surprise, Nun Jingyin had turned into a light and rushed straight to the eastern sky.
Benchu and the other two were stunned, and then they were shocked at the same time, and they hurriedly chased to the east.
When Nun Jingyin arrived at another piece of land, the war was in full swing.
Seeing that the nine monks were suppressed by Yu Fu's body, she shouted angrily and activated her own Yuanying Heart Sword, angrily slashing at one of Yu Fu's fish eyes.
Although Yu Fu was rampant, she also knew how powerful she was.
Yuanying Heart Sword is a great magical power of swordsmanship.
With the attainments of Nun Jingyin who had immersed herself in Buddhism for hundreds of years, combined with the Yuanying Heart Sword, she possessed extremely strong lethality and destructive power against all demons and monsters.
The Yuanying Heart Sword was as fast as lightning, and Yu Fu dragged her huge body to dodge away. At the same time, Yu Fu let out a fierce whistle.
The whistle was sometimes louder, sometimes smaller, sometimes farther, sometimes closer, erratic, and deep and inexplicable.
At the moment when the whistle spread, the ten Yuanying Buddhist cultivators all changed color, their bodies trembled, and they stood still, motionless. Fortunately, the three Benchus arrived here at this time. Seeing this, Chanyin immediately uttered a Buddhist chant.
What Chanyin practiced was the secret book of the Mahayana Buddhism - "The Sutra of the Heart of the Original Life"!
This sutra is most conducive to the visualization of Buddhist cultivation. After years of hard practice of the "Sutra of the Heart of the Original Life", Chanyin's words moved with his heart, and the vast Buddha nature brilliance gushed out from Chanyin's mouth.
Chanyin was also forced into a corner!
The ten great Buddhist cultivators present were the best in the ten famous temples except for the abbots, and Master Jingyin was the abbot of Cihang Jingzhai, so how could she afford to fail?
That was why Chanyin launched the strongest attack of his life.
Namo Amitabha!
He spoke each word in one breath.
He chanted the name of Amitabha Buddha with the Lion's Roar of Buddhism. After a wave of waves, the Buddha's light spread. Under the stimulation of the Buddha's light, the ten great Buddhist cultivators regained consciousness.
In great shock, the ten great Buddhist cultivators retreated one after another.
At the same time, after the sharp roar, the piranhas on all sides of the land were startled. Then, the piranhas that had been blocked on the outside of the land by many Jindan cultivators before, unexpectedly rushed towards the field one after another without caring about their lives.
In just the first wave of attacks, more than ten Jindan cultivators on the scene died.
Fortunately, Benchu and Huijing saw the situation was so critical, and they took action one after another, trying their best to stabilize the fierce attack of the piranhas.
At this time, a sigh came from the sky.
"Amitabha! Evil beast! You have been sealed by me for a thousand years, and you still don't know your mistake!?"
The voice of the little monk suddenly sounded in the air, and then the Buddha's light appeared, and the nine-grade white jade lotus platform broke through the void and appeared three feet above the fish woman's head.
On the white jade lotus platform was the little holy monk Kasyapa who had already kept the precepts!
"Holy monk, be careful! This beast is fierce!"
Nun Jingyin and Zen Master Zhineng reminded the little monk in unison.
After a moment of daze, the fish woman opened her mouth and bit the white jade lotus platform. It turned out that they were enemies, and they were extremely jealous. She wanted to swallow the little monk and the white jade lotus platform together!
But the little monk didn't care and let the fish woman swallow him into her stomach.
The fish wife, who had gotten what she wanted, was stunned when she saw the empty void.
Although it is only the remnant of an ancient monster beast, it still has basic intelligence, otherwise it would not have been able to control the entire Dragon Tiger Pond for nearly a thousand years. Because of this, the fish woman did not believe that the young monk came all the way just to be swallowed by it.
There must be something weird! There must be something weird!
The little monk entered the fish woman's belly and was unharmed. He sat on the white jade lotus platform. The little monk soon found Xiao Mian who was struggling inside the fish woman's body.
When the two met, they were both stunned.
"I thought you ran away after getting into trouble!"
"That's not possible! Little monk, go away and watch me kill this beast in anger!"
"...still so glib!"
"..., still so pretentious!"
After a few words, the two looked at each other and smiled.
The young monk waved, and Xiao Mian climbed onto the White Jade Lotus Platform.
"Others plucked the geese, but you were lucky enough to knock down all the geese!" The young monk naturally blamed Xiao Mian for taking the three treasures in one pot, but he also knew Xiao Mian's nature. Since the things were in Xiao Mian's pocket, Where is it so easy to spit it out? Shaking his head, the young monk turned to ask: "Do you have the Great Sun Jingyan in your hands?"
"That thing is not your Buddhist property!"
"So, you have inherited the 'Hunyuan Taoism'?"
"Hum...what kind of yuan are you messing with?"
"..., it seems not anymore!"
Halfway through his words, no matter how much Xiao Mian pressed him, the young monk said no more. But the way the young monk looked at Xiao Mian revealed a bit of cunning.
Xiao Mian has been getting along with the young monk for a long time, so he naturally knows that this is definitely not a good thing!
That old ghost really has no good intentions!
Hunyuan Taoism?
It seems destined to be another trouble...
Keeping this in mind secretly, Xiao Mian watched the young monk cast the spell.
The young monk seemed to be fine, sitting on the white jade lotus platform, letting him and Xiao Mian walk freely inside the fish woman's huge body.
In just a moment, the White Jade Lotus Platform made three space jumps.
The last time, the White Jade Lotus Platform appeared in a secret room.
The secret room was square in shape, each measuring three feet in length and width. In the middle of the secret room, there was a coffin. The coffin was as transparent as ice crystals, with a corpse looming inside.
The young monk got off the white jade lotus platform and came to the coffin.
Xiao Mian followed closely behind, and when he looked up, he saw the corpse of a girl lying in the coffin. The girl looked no older than the age of a nutmeg, and she was pretty and charming, with fine features and delicate features. What was shocking was that the girl was waist-deep. It was actually a fish tail covered with scales!
With a sigh, the young monk took a talisman that shone with Buddha's light and placed it on top of the coffin. The golden light instantly enveloped the entire coffin, hiding the girl's appearance.
"Let's go!"
"This...is it over?"
"Well! This girl is the humanoid body of the fish woman. I killed her here thousands of years ago, but her heart has never stopped beating, which means the fish woman is not dead. Now I have sealed her heart, and the fish woman will If you want to survive, don’t dare to do it again!”
"Tsk, tsk! Take the heat out of the cauldron! No wonder you can become a holy monk. Those monks outside can't compare to you even if they practice for another thousand years!"
"Don't be so glib! If you don't go out, I will leave by myself! Don't blame me for not reminding you: this is the most secret place in the fish woman's body. Even the grass-headed miasma mother probably doesn't know how to leave. It’s appropriate if you want to play hide and seek!”
"Don't! Who among us brothers will follow whom? Even if I want to stay here, you will never leave your brother behind, right?" Rolling his eyes, Xiao Mian whispered in embarrassment: "But you also know , I killed that wild goose and ate its meat..."
"Three treasures have their own destiny!" After giving Xiao Mian a reassurance, the young monk changed the subject: "But don't blame me for not reminding you: since you have obtained the three treasures of Longhutan today, if there are changes in Longhutan in the future, , it should be on your head!”
"..., about the fish wife?"
"So be it!"
"Can I request a return?"
"late!"
With a smile and a curse, the young monk carried Xiao Mian and left the fish woman's body.
The Buddha's light flashed, and the white jade lotus platform appeared somewhere outside the Longhu Pond.
"It's easy to talk about the Three Treasures, but you'd better meet less with Benchu and the others. After all, you took a big piece of meat from their bowl this time..." Seeing Xiao Mian's indifferent expression as he spoke, Xiao Mian said The monk changed the subject: "I'm very sorry about Tuoba! I didn't expect that Mianyuan was ordered by the Demon Emperor of Northern Wei State!"
"Northern Demon Wei Changtian?"
"Well! The magic seal has been accepted as a disciple by Wei Changtian. Although Yuan Yu did not go to Northern Wei State, it was still a killing move arranged by Wei Changtian. Because of this, the three of you almost died, and Tuoba was struck by the blade of lawlessness. The reason why I asked the three of them to come to Longhu Pond this time is just as a reward for them to go to Zhongzhou to find Tuoba. Now it seems that I am going to bleed again! "
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be the same if I helped you find Tuoba?"
"There is cause and effect between you and Tuoba. You can't stay out of it even if you want to." With that said, the young monk took out a Mani Bead and handed it to Xiao Mian. After explaining the usage and efficacy of the Mani Bead, Only then did Haosheng say: "If I have news about Tuoba's benefactor in the future, I will tell you through Mani Zhu as soon as possible. But I advise you: Zhongzhou is not like Nanyue or Xishu, so don't act rashly!"
"Okay! You should think about how to deal with those three debt collectors from Benchu!" At this point, Xiao Mian turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, and turned back to ask the little monk: "May I ask the holy monk: Is the theory of fate credible?"
"Are you talking about the fact that I suppressed the fish woman and left the three treasures?"
"Yes! Didn't you expect this result back then?"
"Buddhism does not talk about fate, but only about cause and effect! Didn't you say in the previous debate with Master Ananda that since you appeared in Longhutan, Longhutan has your chance. This result was caused by countless causes before. All I could do back then was to use the intelligence and information I had at the time to try to deduce cause and effect and get the most likely result from it - but this result is not the only one!" At this point, his eyes were full of surprise. Seeing Xiao Mian was thinking about something and about to ask, the little monk chanted a Buddhist name first, interrupting Xiao Mian's words: "Amitabha! Buddha said: It cannot be said!"
"..., ha! Well! But one thought can produce ten thousand causes, one cause can produce ten thousand results, now the Three Treasures are all in my hands, that's enough!" As he spoke, Xiao Mian walked away, waving his hand without looking back: "Thank you, little saint, for sending me off, stop!"
"One thought can produce ten thousand causes? One cause can produce ten thousand results? This boy is indeed very intelligent, but unfortunately he has no intention of turning to Buddha at all!" Seeing Xiao Mian's figure disappear in the sky, the little monk said to himself: "But he probably hasn't realized that he has played an increasingly important role in the cause and effect cycle of this time and space..."
