Chapter 1026: Rising Tide (4)
Yuncha Ridge, a mountain with the word "Zhu" in its name, deep in the cave.
At the place where Old Bear Lord usually lived, a very beautiful girl dressed in white, who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, was dancing with a golden Panlong spear, making a humming sound like a windmill.
The female cultivator's scalp was shaved smooth, as clean as crystal. A bright moon of Buddha light hung behind her head, illuminating her entire bald head as if it had become transparent. There was a red mole between her eyebrows that shone faintly, and a very thin line of red light could be seen spurting out from the red mole dozens of feet away, like a gossamer, piercing into the void.
Even with the naked eye of a mortal, one could see wisps of strange Dao rhyme transforming into a faint light, winding along the red light like a gossamer thread, and continuously pouring into the head of the female cultivator. This was clearly a sign that the Dao had reached a certain extreme, the great Dao of heaven and earth converged on its own, and every moment seemed to be in a state of enlightenment.
In other words, even if this female cultivator idles around all day long and does nothing, her realm will continue to improve, her magic power will continue to grow, and all her supernatural powers will come naturally, and she doesn't need to spend any time on cultivation at all.
This person is the former master of Old Bear Monk, the 'Master Langyue' of the former Holy Land of Nalanda, and one of the most famous 'Half-Step Venerables' in Buddhism.
In the former holy land of Nalanda, Master Langyue was not a supreme being of the "Buddha" level, nor did he practice the grand path of the holy land of Nalanda. Instead, he was known for his "unorthodox ways" and was even known as the "number one in the outer sect of the holy land of Nalanda."
Master Lang Yue, who is a person of "unorthodox ways", is proficient in cultivation and alchemy, especially in refining various strange poisons. She is even an expert in refining all kinds of magic pills for healing, detoxification, cultivation, and nourishment. She can't even make all kinds of strange pills, but the more unorthodox they are, the better she is at it.
She was also proficient in various strange magical powers, such as witchcraft, curses, spirit writing, fortune telling, etc. She did not know any of the magnificent and majestic Buddhist magical powers. However, she had mastered various sneaky and tricky secrets, such as illusion, soul bewitching, soul searching, dreaming, etc., to an extremely high level, which could be said to be unmatched in the holy land of Nalanda.
The title of "No. 1 in the Outer Sect" is because she has been fond of collecting... no, adopting all kinds of monsters since she was young. For example, Old Bear Venerable was the beast she adopted to guard the gate and the mountain. Because of her hobby, there are countless strange monster disciples in the Outer Sect of the Nalanda Holy Land. The notorious monsters in Yuncha Ridge today are basically the old ones she left behind at that time!
In short, this is a nun who is naturally unrestrained and best at "not doing her job properly"!
Just as he was swinging the Panlong Spear wildly, he suddenly saw Old Xiong Zun staggering in, and Master Langyue threw the Panlong Spear away. With a "clang", the spear flew far away and sank deeply into the cave wall, piercing a Buddha statue in a shrine.
Master Langyue coughed lightly, placed his hands in front of his heart, made a graceful Buddhist seal, and put on a solemn and dignified look.
"I haven't seen you for many years, Xiao Hei. I am very relieved to see that you are doing well."
Master Langyue had a gentle complexion, pure and loving eyes, and exuded the compassion and peace that a great Buddhist monk should have. The thick and pure Buddhist aura enveloped the entire cave. She looked at Old Bear Venerable gently, and every pore of her body seemed to be emitting a warm light.
That is a kind of 'light of love' called 'Mother's love'!
Old Xiong Zun shuddered and subconsciously took two steps back. His fat body trembled violently a few times. He said in horror: "You... don't talk in that tone... I'm afraid! Every time you act like this, we are the ones who get into trouble in the end!"
"Oh, that hurts!" Master Lang Yue raised her eyebrows and widened her eyes. She put away the bright light behind her head, flew back, and sat cross-legged on the old bear's chair with a bang, shouting: "Okay, I won't pretend anymore... Someone, bring some wine! Hey, my mouth is so dry, hurry up and get some delicacies to replenish it... Tsk! Let me be clear, Master Buddha, I don't eat vegetarian food!"
"Hey, hey!" Lao Xiongzun smacked his lips. OK, this is the taste, no doubt about it!
The wine was filled and the meat was served. Master Langyue picked up the large bowl and gulped down three bowls of liquor. He grabbed a big piece of stewed deer tendon and chewed it vigorously. After a long time, he sighed with satisfaction.
Old Xiong Zun was holding . Seeing Master Langyue's smug look, he laughed, "So you're not dead?"
Master Lang Yue glanced at Old Xiong Zun and snorted coldly: "If you want to die, it's not that easy. But , it's just a little bit, just a little bit."
Master Langyue, who was so lively and energetic, couldn't help but reveal a trace of fear when she said the words "just a little bit"... There was a gleam of light in her eyes, and her face twitched slightly. After a long time, she shook her head fiercely and exhaled heavily.
Three more bowls of strong liquor were drunk. Master Lang Yue shook his head and said, "Don't say it, don't say it, don't mention it, don't mention it... Hey, some old ghosts are still watching from behind... If I leak even the slightest bit of information, who knows what kind of mess will come out?"
“For my own life, and for the lives of you bastards, I can’t say it, I can’t say it!” Master Langyue winked at Old Bear Venerable and laughed, “Buddha said, it can’t be said, it can’t be said…Are you itching to do it? It’s like when you were a kid, I hung a beehive in front of you, and used the small Vajra Buddha halo to confine you in place, unable to move…Oh my, sweet honey, I can see it but I can’t eat it, hehe!”
Old Xiong Zun's face was dark enough to begin with, and when he heard Master Lang Yue teasing him like this, his face became even darker and twitched. He said dryly, "I can't say it, of course there are reasons why I can't say it. Hey, I'm not the same person I was back then, and I understand the truth that 'the more you know, the faster you die' now!"
Back then, he saw with his own eyes that the Buddha seal of Master Langyue left in Yuncha Ridge collapsed, which was a sign of complete destruction and annihilation. Logically, she had no chance of being spared. Old Xiong Zun had been gesturing fiercely towards the direction of the Heavenly Palace every morning over the years, just to commemorate Master Langyue!
However, Master Langyue, who was originally completely dead, suddenly appeared in his own cave today!
I dare not say it, I dare not think about it, I dare not investigate it in detail!
Old Xiong Zun was born in Buddhism. He had witnessed the heyday of the Nalanda Holy Land, the terrifying scene where the powerful Buddhists dominated and controlled everything. He also witnessed the cruel scene where Taichu, Taimi and Taiyi, three people supported by the Green Emperor, together with a group of other powerful people, overthrew the Nalanda Holy Land with extremely bloody and cruel means, and slaughtered most of the Supreme Taichu Heaven.
If a hundred or a thousand of him were put into that whirlpool, they would all be reduced to ashes...but Master Langyue, who he was sure had been reduced to ashes, suddenly jumped back after many years!
He knew very well how terrible some of the old bald men in the holy land of Nalanda were.
Those old bald guys are not only terribly powerful, but also extremely cruel... They are a hundred, a thousand times more cruel than those gang members, loan sharks, and scoundrels in the f*cking world who suck the marrow out of the people and make them sell their children and daughters and break up their families!
Therefore, if Master Langyue doesn't tell him, how could Old Xiong Zun have the courage to ask about the mysterious things going on here?
Just think of it as a peaceful life!
Just think of it as Master Langyue, the old master of Yunchaling, who occasionally felt like traveling outside, and when he was done today, he finally remembered his little nest and came running back happily!
This Yuncha Ridge was originally her place of practice.
I will always be the little blind bear who stays by her side, patrolling the mountains and guarding the door for her...Okay, that's the truth.
Old Xiong Zun's mood calmed down inexplicably. He held the wine jar and filled Master Langyue's glass with wine. Master Langyue smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line, and he gulped down several bowls of strong liquor.
"Well, what did you talk about with the commander-in-chief just now?" Master Langyue looked at Old Bear Master with a smile.
Old Xiong Zun was stunned, and a tuft of black hair on his back suddenly stood up.
His conversation with the commander-in-chief seemed casual, but in fact, countless restrictions were set up in all directions, and there were several extremely powerful secret treasures that sealed the void and isolated cause and effect... The commander-in-chief and Old Bear Lord had special identities, and their secret meeting was really a shameful thing... No matter for the Heavenly Court or for the demons in Yuncha Ridge, these two should not get together!
Therefore, they used all means to guard against it, for fear that their secret meeting would be discovered.
Master Langyue actually... knows?
Without Old Xiong Zun knowing, Master Lang Yue actually knew that he had met with the Commander-in-Chief in private?
Countless thoughts flashed through Old Xiong Zun's mind - ahem, this naughty little nun, when did she return to Yuncha Ridge? How long has she been back? Does she know everything about Yuncha Ridge?
Ahem, of course, Old Bear has nothing to hide.
Old Xiong Zun has nothing to hide from her...no, and there is no need to hide anything!
Old Xiong Zun honestly told the "deal" between him and the commander-in-chief. After explaining the plan between him and the commander-in-chief very seriously, word for word, and without any changes, Old Xiong Zun looked at Master Langyue cautiously: "Take a look at this guy, is he reliable?"
Master Langyue was holding a sea bowl, the red mole between his eyebrows was glowing faintly, and the red light that penetrated out like a gossamer was stretched straight, tearing through the void, making a 'hissing' sound, and emitting a terrible aura that made Old Xiong Zun tremble with fear.
Old Xiong Zun could not help but look at Master Lang Yue in horror.
His current cultivation should be far beyond that of Master Langyue back then... Master Langyue back then was only a 'half-step venerable', but now Master Lao Xiong, over the long years and in countless life and death trials, has clearly told the world that he has condensed forty-nine Emperor Seals!
And in secret, he also hid one hundred and eight Emperor Seal Dao Fruits!
With such a level of cultivation, Old Bear was confident that he would have the courage to fight even the top Buddhas of the Holy Land of Nalanda, including the Master Abbot.
But the feeling that Master Langyue gave to Lao Xiongzun at this moment was just like the feeling he had when he was a child and his parents were attacked and killed by monsters. He was wandering alone in the mountains and forests struggling for his life, and was picked up by Master Langyue... powerful, majestic, invincible, and inviolable!
Old Xiong Zun couldn't help but tremble in his heart - the thieves and bald men in the Nalanda Holy Land were so weird and scary... Master Langyue, what's going on? How come they died once and came back to be so strong?
Did Master Langyue have any adventures in these years?
Or, in this "death crisis", Master Langyue found her "true self" from countless reincarnations before?
Old Xiong Zun shook his head speechlessly.
There are so many strange things in Buddhism, especially the ambushes in reincarnation, and they are too numerous and too mysterious. He really can't understand it!
"Qingsha?" Master Langyue smiled slightly: "I don't know which senior brother did it... But looking at his style of doing things, maybe it was... I don't care about that."
He picked up the bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and placed the bowl heavily on the stone table in front of him. Master Langyue burped and looked at Old Bear with a grin: "Xiaohei, I think the commander-in-chief's suggestion is quite good... But you guys are just making a fuss, that won't work!"
"Well, add fuel to the fire, huh?"
"Make things bigger!"
Master Langyue grabbed a piece of braised wild boar ear and chewed it happily. He squinted his eyes with joy and said with emotion: "Hey, this taste... It's still the taste of the old braised stew of Baixianglou, a well-known time-honored brand in Wangchuan Continent... You are thoughtful. After so many years, Wangchuan has become a pig farm in heaven, but you can actually preserve that pot of old stew."
"Hey, hey..." Master Langyue swallowed the fat pig ear and said softly: "The commander-in-chief has been slack. He wants to calm the storm and keep everything peaceful... But how is that possible? The situation is so overwhelming that he can't stop it with just a commander-in-chief!"
"Make things bigger!"
"By the way, find that Yuan Chu, I want him alive... I'm very curious about the reasons and consequences ... Some things may be related to the affair that we spent a lot of effort to track down back then, but there was no follow-up... Anyway, let's capture Yuan Chu first!"
Old Xiong Zun frowned.
He pondered for a while, smiled bitterly and said, "That Qingsha has an unpredictable origin, and he wants..."
Master Lang Yue nodded and clapped his hands gently: "So, the Dharma is spread, the power is great, the knowledge is extensive, and the understanding is broad."
Four golden lights flickered in the cave, and ripples like water waves appeared in the space. Four bearded strong men, about 16 feet tall, wearing golden chain mail armor with lotus patterns, holding the Demon-Subduing Pestle, the Bright Light Pestle, the Vajra Pestle, and the Powerful Pestle in their hands, with a solemn aura, and clearly having reached the so-called "Buddha Venerable" realm, strode out from the cave.
Old Bear Venerable shuddered and looked in horror at these four completely unfamiliar Buddhist monks, whom he had never seen or heard of in the holy land of Nalanda in the past, but who gave him a great sense of threat.
"Let the Four Pillars King Kong assist you... Get that Yuanfu kid here first, that's the most important thing." Master Langyue snatched the wine jar from Old Xiongzun's hand, and was too lazy to use a bowl, so he just drank directly from the jar: "Go, be careful... The wind is high and the waves are rough, it's going to be a high tide!"
The four bearded burly men stood in a row behind Old Bear Zun without saying a word.
Old Xiongzun's hair stood on end. The simple words "the tide is rising" inexplicably made him feel as if he saw mountains of corpses and seas of blood, flames of war, and countless horrific scenes like hell.
The old bear's teeth knocked against each other violently, making a crisp "clicking" sound.
At this moment, his soul suddenly sublimated extremely. Old Xiong Zun, who majored in Buddhist exercises and specialized in the magical powers of "protecting the Dharma" and "fighting", suddenly had an epiphany. He suddenly realized some Buddhist obstacles that had puzzled him for countless years. He broke through the obstacles, and made great progress in his Taoism. He quietly changed his job from a so-called "Vajra Monk" in the holy land of Nalanda to a "Mana Monk" who specialized in "Taoism" and "magic power", was proficient in all kinds of "magic powers", and was good at various "wonderful methods".
With the help of this sudden breakthrough, Old Bear Zun's soul suddenly jumped out of the surface of the long river of time. Facing the terrible scouring of the mighty power of time, Old Bear Zun hurriedly followed the direction of the river flow, selected a tributary that was most likely to occur, and looked deeply and with all his strength at the tributary that "might have the greatest causal relationship with himself and may become his future."
He saw a tall, burly figure.
He was quite familiar with this figure... In fact, two years ago, when Yuan Fu defected from the Heavenly Court and sought refuge in Yuncha Ridge, using Heiyun Jun as his shield and dragging the entire Yuncha Ridge into a sudden war, Old Xiong Zun had seen the owner of this figure with his own eyes!
He even paid attention to the role played by the owner of this figure in the subsequent "major events" of the Supreme Taichu Heaven.
For example, the owner of this figure, his sworn brother, actually slept with the old woman in Taiyitian... Hey, can you imagine? This guy's sworn brother actually slept with White Snake!
Old Bear Venerable had all the scenes he had just seen engraved deep in his soul. He was extremely solemn, warm and intimate, and with a hint of reluctance, he bowed to Master Langyue, then left his own cave, looking back every step he took, along with the four bearded men with terrifying auras.
Before leaving the cave, Lao Xiongzun hesitated for a moment, then walked to a giant Buddhist shrine and bowed deeply to the statue of Master Langyue carved in the shrine.
His heart was filled with endless regret.
He actually learned to hide his inner thoughts from Master Langyue!
Just now, some strange thoughts came into his mind, but he did not express these thoughts to Master Langyue without reservation as he did back then!
"Time makes people grow old... I am no longer the bear cub I used to be!"
Old Bear Lord rolled up a dark cloud, rode the strong wind, and rushed out like lightning.
"I have finally...grown up!"
