Chapter 654: The True Body of the Holy Buddha, the Four Sacred Cauldrons
Above Chang'an, two figures crisscrossed in the air, and the sound of metal and stone could be heard from time to time. The sound waves produced by the collision shattered the flowing clouds and echoed between heaven and earth.
"Dad, what happened? Who won?"
Zhang Weiyang raised his head and activated his Dharma Eyes, looking at the two figures, one blue and one gold, in the sky. Although he could only see some afterimages, he still stared at them.
All those below Yang Shen are the same as him. Only Yang Shen is qualified to see the fight between the two.
But it was just barely visible, and required extreme concentration. If one was careless, one might miss it, so Zhang Qianyang impatiently slapped his son on the head.
"Stop talking nonsense and read for yourself."
Looking at the green figure in the sky who was beating the golden light with the force of thunder, Zhang Qianyang felt a strong sense of pride in his heart.
At the same time, there are some feelings of regret.
Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, the young man who chased him in the ghost village to become his apprentice has now become a legendary immortal.
He is invincible and even more powerful than the old man back then.
He was very pleased, but also a little disappointed.
I am indeed old and can no longer help Taichong.
Longhu Mountain is no longer his backing, but he has become Longhu Mountain's reliance. With such a disciple, he has no regrets in life.
…
I don’t know how long it took, but with a roar, a figure fell from the sky, so fast that it even made a sonic boom, and crashed into the ground.
The once prosperous Daxingshan Temple was instantly reduced to ruins.
A figure crawled out from the ruins, his monk robe was torn, his body was covered with fist marks, a trickle of golden blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were a little blurred. Where was the demeanor of a saintly Buddha?
In an instant, cheers were heard in Chang'an City.
That was the voice of a Taoist disciple.
In this head-on confrontation of fists and flesh, the Holy Buddha was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.
Narvasa heard the annoying cheers but had no time to pay attention to them because he felt a little dizzy.
He was knocked unconscious by the terrifying fist and couldn't understand why he couldn't win even though he had the cultivation of an earthly immortal and his golden body of Buddhism was a physical supernatural power that was famous throughout the three realms?
Why is the other party's body so terrifying?
A figure slowly floated down, his green clothes fluttering, his hair dancing, his eyes shining, and the red mark between his eyebrows shining brightly.
The heroic spirit almost hits you in the face.
Li Daoxuan fought with great pleasure, his energy and blood surged in his body like thunder, and the anger that had been suppressed in his heart since he returned to the human world was finally released.
happy!
Although I don’t know which holy Buddha in Lingshan this is, and how he escaped from Lingshan, it doesn’t matter. I can just kill him first and then search his soul.
The secret about him should be revealed soon.
"Evil monk, the existence of people like you is the greatest insult to Lingshan!"
"I don't know how you got this golden body, but if I'm not mistaken, this shouldn't be the golden body you cultivated yourself."
Li Daoxuan looked at him indifferently, as if he was looking at a dying ant.
In fact, Erposhamei 's golden body was very strong, even not inferior to his physical body which had reached the third level of Xuan Gong. Neither Huichan's golden body nor the old beggar's golden body could compare with it.
He once discussed the Buddhist golden body technique with the old beggar. According to the old beggar, the golden body of this evil monk was already higher in rank than that of an Arhat.
As to whether it is a Bodhisattva or a Buddha, it is hard to say.
However, this evil monk obviously has not yet fully controlled this golden body, or it can be said that his Buddhist practice is not enough to refine this golden body, so that there are many flaws in his actions and his reactions are always half a beat slow.
If he met anyone else, Erpo Sumei could have easily crushed them relying on his cultivation, but he happened to meet Li Daoxuan, a formidable enemy who had practiced the Eight or Nine Mysterious Arts and had rich combat experience.
For the battle-hardened Li Daoxuan, he had too many flaws.
"Holy Buddha? I think you are a thief. Whose golden statue did you steal? Let me guess. You claim to be the reincarnation of Ananda, so you must have stolen him—"
"Li Daoxuan!!"
This sentence seemed to have touched Erpo Shamei's sore spot, causing his emerald pupils to instantly turn blood red. He could no longer maintain his monk's demeanor and let out a roar.
Li Daoxuan was stunned, and in a trance, he seemed to hear a roar?
Immediately afterwards, Erpo Sumei rushed up madly, his whole body shining with golden light, as if he wanted to burn all his blood and energy to unleash the strongest attack.
Li Daoxuan sneered, thunder swirled around his fist, and he activated his mysterious power and smashed it towards the evil monk.
boom!
The moment his fist touched the opponent, Li Daoxuan realized something was wrong, because the golden body... actually deflated!
The next moment, a crack suddenly appeared on the head of the golden body, and a figure came out like a relic and bit Li Daoxuan's arm.
It turned out to be a black snake with colorful patterns, which looked like a dragon but was not a dragon!
Its fangs were so sharp that they easily pierced Li Daoxuan's skin and injected a large amount of venom into it.
The horrifying poison instantly invaded Li Daoxuan's limbs and bones, and traveled throughout his body along with the surging blood. It was not only a highly toxic poison that had multiplied to the extreme, it even carried a trace of the laws of heaven and earth.
The five turbidities and evil times, the five declines of heavenly beings!
There are five turbidities in the world, namely the turbidity of kalpa, the turbidity of living beings, the turbidity of life, the turbidity of afflictions and the turbidity of views. If disturbed by them, even a god will suffer the five deteriorations.
Dirty clothes, withered hair, sweaty armpits, smelly body, and unhappiness on the throne are signs that gods and Buddhas are nearing the end of their lifespan and are known as the Five Deteriorations of the Celestial Beings.
After being invaded by the poison, Li Daoxuan obviously felt a little dizzy, his vigorous energy and blood became dormant, and a faint foul smell emanated from his body.
He immediately realized that the poison Xiaobai and Sister Yu were poisoned by was exactly the same as this snake venom.
The holy Buddha who is said to be the reincarnation of Venerable Ananda is actually a poisonous snake?
No, it's not entirely a poisonous snake, because the other party does have a kind of Buddha nature, but it seems a little evil and twisted.
whoosh!
The injection of the poison took only a moment. In a flash, Erpo Sumei escaped back into the golden body and turned into the transcendent white-robed holy Buddha again.
He looked at Li Daoxuan, whose face was darkening, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Li Daoxuan, it seems that I am the winner in the end."
Li Daoxuan looked at him quietly. The stench on his body became stronger and stronger, but he remained calm and said lightly: "So this is your true body, the Buddha's Eight Dragons, the Great Python God."
Volume 2 of the Vimalakirti Sutra states: "The great python spirit, also called Mahoraga, is a footless and belly-walking spirit. All the meat and wine eaten by people will go into the python's belly. If one breaks the precepts, is evil and flattering, is often angry and rarely gives, is greedy for meat and wine, and is lax in precepts, one will fall into the category of ghost spirits, and many angry insects will enter his body and eat him."
It can be seen that although this god is one of the Eight Immortals in Buddhism, he has a cruel temperament and his six senses are impure. No wonder he became Fahai after reincarnation.
"Why didn't you die in Lingshan, and why did you steal the golden body of Ananda?"
Li Daoxuan stared at his golden body. It was this golden body that blocked his divine eyes, otherwise he would have been able to see the other party's true form from the beginning.
He was very puzzled. Venerable Ananda was one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha, known to be the most knowledgeable and having great supernatural powers. The Buddha had predicted that he would become a Buddha and be named the Buddha of Mountain and Sea Wisdom.
In other words, Ananda can definitely be called a quasi-Buddha, while the giant snake god is just one of the Eight Immortals, at most at the level of the Eighteen Arhats.
How was it possible to steal or even take over Ananda’s golden body?
Li Daoxuan's words obviously irritated Erpo Shamei again. He flew into a rage and said, "Li Daoxuan, you should take care of yourself first!"
"The poison that the Goddess Xiaoxiang was poisoned with was only diluted by me on purpose. My purpose was not to kill her, but to use her as bait to test whether you and the Lady in Green Clothes were still in the world."
"The poison in your body is now ten or a hundred times more potent than hers. It won't be long before you will suffer the five decays of heaven and man and die!"
Li Daoxuan suddenly realized.
He once thought that the evil monk sent the drought demon to attack Xiaobai in order to lure the snake out of the hole and transfer Sister Yu away from Xiaoxiang. Now it seems that the snake he really wanted to lure out was not Sister Yu, but himself and the Queen.
It's just that he and the empress were in heaven and Lingshan respectively at that time, so they didn't fall into the trap.
The evil monk was not in a hurry. He waited for three years before he was finally sure that he and the queen were no longer in the world. Then he calculated the time and knew that Sister Yu should have died of poisoning. So he sent Hanba to attack the Yuxuan Palace.
No wonder Hanba dared to go to Xiaoxiang with only a few people. When he saw the changed Yujie in Changle, his first reaction was shock, wondering how she could still be alive.
Everything seemed to make sense, except for one thing.
"Evil monk, where did you take Sister Yu's soul?"
Erpo Sumei was stunned for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something, and sneered, "It seems that the poison has already invaded your brain, and you are talking like crazy."
Li Daoxuan frowned slightly. He didn’t know?
Is it fake or real?
"Hmph, Li Daoxuan, it would be such a pity if I let you die like this. Your cultivation and this body are simply unparalleled elixir in the world!"
That Erpo Sumei suddenly revealed a crazy smile.
"Originally, I wanted to leave this thing for Li Shimin, but now, I decided to let you enjoy it first."
After saying this, he raised his hand and laughed, "Li Daoxuan, listen carefully, today's Chang'an is no longer your Chang'an!"
Boom!
The city of Chang'an shook violently, and the Four Saints Formation was activated. The four beasts, the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird, and the Black Tortoise, flew out and entangled together to form a cauldron about four feet high, enveloping Li Daoxuan.
boom!
The Vermillion Bird divine fire burned automatically under the cauldron, the Azure Dragon exhaled, the White Tiger howled in the wind, and the Black Tortoise controlled the temperature. It was like a Four Sacred Treasure Cauldron that was unparalleled in the world!
"Hahaha, Li Daoxuan, do you really think I have done nothing in Chang'an all these years?"
"Your Four Saints Formation has already been modified by me. Today, I will use your formation to refine you into an elixir. Hahahaha!"
He originally prepared this for Li Shimin, because Li Shimin was the main ingredient of the elixir of immortality, but now he doesn't mind letting Li Daoxuan "enjoy" it first.
Even if he couldn't make the elixir of immortality, as long as he could refine the essence of his physical body, it would definitely be a feast for him.
"Save the nation!"
"The Holy Buddha turned out to be a demon!"
"Everyone, take action together!"
Looking at the Taoist disciples who were rushing up, Erpo Shamei sneered, then sat cross-legged, put his hands together, and began to chant scriptures.
As the chanting of scriptures rang out, layers of golden light enveloped the Daxingshan Temple, isolating all the Taoist disciples outside.
He smiled slightly, and there was a hint of heat in his eyes as he looked towards the alchemy furnace.
Just wait for seventy-seven forty-nine hours and the pill will be ready!
…
Among the Four Sacred Cauldrons.
Li Daoxuan stopped using his great magical power to mediate the destiny of the world and stopped purifying the snake venom. A strange look appeared on his face.
Just now, under the pressure of snake venom and the Four Sacred Cauldrons, the innate Taiyin energy hidden in his body actually roared out, many times faster than usual.
What the hell, do you want me to be Monkey King for once?
