Chapter 146: Golden Body of Buddhism
When Li Daoxuan came to his senses, he found himself back to the place where the Seven Skeletons Formation was previously located. Even the position he was standing in was exactly the same, as if he had never been to the Qingming Realm at all.
But he left at noon, and now the sun was setting and approaching dusk, so it was obvious that quite a bit of time had passed.
At this moment, the master was busy drawing a large circular formation with the ruins as the center, using black dog blood and chicken comb blood as raw materials.
Zhang Qianyang wiped his hands on his Taoist robe, with some beads of sweat on his forehead.
Seeing Li Daoxuan coming back , he smiled and said, "I finally finished drawing this Tiangang Demon Sealing Formation before dark."
"Master, why do you have to use chicken comb blood and black dog blood?"
Zhang Qianyang explained very patiently: "This is not just the blood of an ordinary cock comb, but the blood of a large rooster with five spots, which represents the five virtues and has the pure yang of the sun, which is the best at fighting evil and poison. The blood of a black dog is the blood of a unicorn, which also has the effect of warding off evil."
When a rooster crows, the world becomes bright. The rooster can call out the rising sun, and the Yang energy is very strong.
In folklore, dogs can see some dirty things, and among all dogs, black dogs are the most vicious, so black dog blood is also a powerful weapon to ward off evil spirits.
"Disciple, if you want to set up a formation to deal with powerful ghosts or zombies in the future, using these two things will often have miraculous effects. However, if the enemy is a demon, the effect will be greatly reduced."
Li Daoxuan nodded, accepting the teachings. At the same time, he also admired his master for being able to remain calm in the face of a powerful enemy and even passing on his experience to him.
"By the way, Master, will the Grandmaster take action?"
Li Daoxuan asked, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
The old Taoist priest of Mount Longhu has unfathomable Taoism skills. Last time, he captured an eight-tailed fox demon in the Yang God realm with one move. If he can come, there will be no need to worry about Yang Guang's affairs.
Zhang Qianyang shook his head and his expression became serious.
"The Yangping Zhidu Gongyin is the old man's magic weapon. I used it to contact the old man. He said that there were traces of a big monster near Longhu Mountain recently."
A big monster appeared near Mount Longhu?
Li Daoxuan asked: "So the master can't come here either, right?"
Zhang Qianyang nodded and said, "The old man is stationed in Longhu Mountain to protect the sect's inheritance. It's fine at ordinary times, but if Longhu Mountain is in danger, he naturally can't leave easily."
Li Daoxuan frowned; he began to sense something was wrong.
What a coincidence.
Here, the Empty-Dull Ghost King and the Black Mountain Old Demon joined forces to attack the Qingming Realm, while over there, traces of a big demon appeared near Longhu Mountain, making the old Taoist priest fearful and unable to travel with his yang spirit anymore.
It seems that there is an invisible hand controlling everything.
"Why, the Queen can't do anything?"
Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "The Qingming Realm has been in turmoil recently, and the Queen cannot leave the dojo."
Zhang Qianyang pondered for a moment. Having experienced countless storms, he began to realize that something was wrong.
However, when he saw his disciple frowning, he smiled and comforted him, "It doesn't matter. Even if it's just us, we can still kill Yang Guang!"
Li Daoxuan nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
This trip to the Qingming Realm was not without gain. He touched the black rope on his wrist, and the sense of crisis in his heart dissipated a lot.
"By the way, Master, the Queen said she would notify Master Sanle. What exactly is Master Sanle's identity?"
Hearing the words "Master Sanle", Zhang Qianyang's eyes lit up and he smiled.
"Sanle is a wonderful person, a well-deserved eminent monk. He should have cultivated a golden body of Buddhism. With him helping us, we will have nothing to worry about."
"Buddhist golden body?"
Li Daoxuan had heard of this great name for a long time, but he had no specific knowledge of it.
Zhang Qianyang explained: "My Taoist sect emphasizes the dual cultivation of nature and life, but Buddhism is different. They only cultivate nature and not life, and pay more attention to the spirit and soul, not the body. This disagreement began in the Yin Shen realm."
Li Daoxuan nodded. He remembered that he had read a similar story in his previous life.
A monk and a Taoist priest agreed to go to Luoyang to see peonies, but Luoyang was a thousand miles away, so they used their spirits to travel to see who could reach Luoyang first.
The monk's Yin spirit was extremely fast and soon left the Taoist priest behind. In one hour, it flew to Luoyang and saw the peony.
When the Taoist priest arrived slowly, the monk was very proud and thought that his Taoism was higher than that of the Taoist priest.
But the Taoist priest smiled slightly, reached out and picked a peony.
The monk's face changed, because no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pick the peony. It was like trying to catch the moon in water with a bamboo basket.
This story can well illustrate the difference between Buddhist and Taoist practices. Taoism emphasizes the dual cultivation of body and soul, so the spirit is more stable. Buddhism's spirit is stronger and can fly faster, but because it lacks physical support, it cannot even pick a flower.
Zhang Qianyang continued, "Later, a Buddhist monk noticed this problem. In order to make up for the shortcomings of the flesh body, he created the golden body magic. The golden body of the Arhat, the golden body of the Bodhisattva, and the golden body of the Tathagata all have their own mysteries and can shine as brightly as the sun and the moon!"
"Could it be that Master Sanle has cultivated a golden body?"
Zhang Qianyang nodded and said, "When I first came down the mountain forty years ago, Sanle looked like this. Later, when I met him again, I found that his appearance had not changed at all!"
Li Daoxuan's expression changed. He remained unchanged for forty years. Master Sanle was truly an extraordinary man.
He wanted to continue asking, but he saw a sword light flying from the sky, with infinite sharpness, like a meteor breaking through the air, flying towards the two of them.
Zhang Qianyang snorted and said, " You're old, but you still like to show off."
The sword light fell and turned into an old man with white hair and beard and a slender figure. He looked to be in his seventies or eighties, but he was energetic and his eyes were very sharp.
The person who came was the sword master from Wanshou Palace, Xu Qingxuan!
Xu Qingxuan glared at Zhang Qianyang, and Zhang Qianyang glared back without any hesitation. This posture did not look like a meeting between old friends, but rather like old enemies.
Xu Qingxuan pointed at Zhang Qianyang and said angrily: "Zhang Qianyang! You despicable guy, how dare you come to see me?"
Zhang Qianyang snorted and said, "We are all men, don't make it seem like I have let you down."
Xu Qingxuan was so angry that his beard was puffing up. He cursed, "Bah, you old thing, you deserve to be demoted to the Yang God Realm. If it weren't for you, Ning Yan would have been with me a long time ago. I handed her over to you, but you disappeared for more than ten years!"
Zhang Qianyang sneered, "Don't make yourself sound so great. Back then, you were drunk, stripped naked, and danced with a sword among the flowers. You were so showy that you made my eyes dirty."
Li Daoxuan widened his eyes. Wait, what did I hear?
Xu Qingxuan was so angry that his hair stood on end and his body was shaking. He said, "How dare you say that? It was you who deliberately got me drunk and made me look bad in front of Ningyan. That's why Ningyan ignored me, you despicable and shameless guy!"
Zhang Qianyang chuckled and uttered four words lightly: "Birds dancing under the moon."
After a pause, he added another blow and said, "It's still very small."
Li Daoxuan stood aside shivering, but his eyes were burning with gossip, and he glanced at Xu Jianxian.
Xu Qingxuan was furious, his face red as blood, and rushed forward.
"Fuck the zombies, Zhang Qianyang, I want to fight you to the death!"
Zhang Qianyang rolled up his sleeves and said, "Haha, afraid of you?"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…
Then Li Daoxuan saw the two of them rushing towards each other, just like a street fight, one pulling the beard, the other grabbing the hair, and there was also a monkey stealing peaches, a black tiger digging out the heart...
Li Daoxuan was almost petrified.
A sword immortal and a Tiangang Demon Subduing Immortal, that’s it?
Xu Qingxuan kicked Zhang Qianyang, knocking him down, then flipped forward and prepared to punch him.
Li Daoxuan was a little hesitant, should he help his master?
But it feels... so embarrassing.
Zhang Qianyang was at a disadvantage, but he remained calm. With a "Pooh" sound, a mouthful of phlegm fell on Xu Qingxuan's face.
Xu Qingxuan's face turned green.
Zhang Qianyang took the opportunity to grab his beard, pulled him to the ground, and started fighting.
Li Daoxuan couldn't help it and said, "Master, Xu Jianxian, you——"
The two people who were wrestling suddenly stopped, stared at him fiercely, and said in unison: "Shut up!"
Li Daoxuan shrank his neck.
