Volume 3: The World of the Lotus Lantern Chapter 10: Golden Scissors, War Road
When the monkey heard what the Subduing Tiger Arhat said, his smile faded a little.
What he couldn't stand the most was the tone of Buddhism. They thought whatever they liked was destined to Buddhism, without even asking the other person whether they wanted this destiny or not. To be honest, he was also destined to Buddhism in this way. Originally, among the Eighteen Arhats, he thought Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger were pretty good. But now it seems that he cannot be exempt from this fine tradition of Buddhism.
"Fu Hu, aren't you afraid that the bastard is really Yang Jian's? If you provoke him, he won't be afraid of whether you are a Buddhist or not."
Subduing Tiger Arhat paused when he heard this.
The Fighting Buddha of Buddhism and the God of Justice of Heaven are already recognized as the two top fighting forces in the Three Realms. In addition to the Fighting Buddha, there is naturally also Yang Jian who is able to defeat him, but he is definitely not included in this list.
However, exotic beasts are rare. If they can be brought back to Buddhism and cultivated with Buddhist resources, they will surely become an immortal in the future, which will be of great benefit to Buddhism. Thinking of this, Fu Hu Luohan decided to go and take a look, just in case it really is a wild celestial dog.
"I was just watching the ceremony of a heavenly dog becoming an immortal. Even if the God of Justice was present, he would not do anything to me."
The monkey just rolled his eyes. He wanted to take a look first to make sure whether he could bully the person or not. If he could not bully the person, he would leave immediately. If he could bully the person, he would probably kill him without even leaving any skin. However, Fighting Buddha did not stop him. This matter was becoming more and more interesting. Why should he stop him? He wanted to see how Fu Hu Luohan would choose when facing the Shang Qing disciple.
The two of them disappeared in the Water Curtain Cave with a thought, and when they reappeared, they were already outside the Hunhun Cave.
Looking at the chaotic cave, there was a golden light flashing in the eyes of Fu Hu Luohan. He did not find any familiar aura in the chaotic cave. The strongest one was just a true immortal. It would not be difficult for him to take away the Heavenly Dog.
At this time, Tengu gradually restrained his breath and returned to Jiale's side.
"Master, I made a breakthrough!"
Looking at the jubilant Tengu, Jiale also smiled. Ever since the seven fire crows broke through the true fairyland and returned to their ancestral Golden Crow, Tengu has been obviously in a bad mood. He usually doesn't practice much. After all, following Jiale, all he has to do is lie down all the way. But this time it won't work. Tengu was stronger than the fire crows and the angry chicken from the beginning, but now he has been directly surpassed.
He was filled with energy, and this time he finally achieved the breakthrough he wished for. In the future, he might continue to be the number one spiritual beast by Jiale's side, so he was naturally very happy.
"Amitabha, congratulations on your successful breakthrough."
Just as Jiale was about to say something, a figure suddenly appeared, which startled Jiale. With his current strength, the person who could appear in front of him silently without being discovered by him must be a Xuanxian or above.
Seeing the person coming, Jiale's heart couldn't help but tremble. It seemed that a tough guy had come.
This is a muscular man sitting on a lotus seat, wearing a wrinkled robe, with a tiger lying quietly beside him. He holds a long stick in his hand and wears a crown on his head. He has a serious expression, bright eyes, and a restrained aura. No one dares to underestimate him.
Could it be that he came here for the scoundrel?
Jia Le thought to himself that when Lai Pi Hu showed the aura of Buddhism before, Jia Le had made such preparations. However, after waiting for a few days, no one from Buddhism came, so he just hoped for luck and thought that there should be no problem. He would quickly clear out the monsters here and leave. Then Buddhism would not be able to find him anymore.
But now it seems that the time for retribution has not come yet.
Following the gaze of Subduing Tiger Arhat and seeing the shining look in his eyes as he looked at Tengu, Jiale's heart skipped a beat.
He was too familiar with this look. It was the same look every time he saw the energy bead. Now, things have changed and his spirit beast has also been noticed by someone, and that is the famous Subduing Tiger Arhat in Buddhism.
After seeing the appearance of the person who came, Jiale recognized his identity as the Subduing Tiger Arhat.
In Buddhism, apart from the Subduing Tiger Arhat, there is no other person with such an image.
The Buddhist achievements: Arhat, Bodhisattva, Buddha.
In this world, Arhats correspond to true immortals, Bodhisattvas correspond to mysterious immortals, and Buddhas correspond to golden immortals.
But this is a normal situation. Some people are in another general situation, such as the Eighteen Arhats among the Arhats and the Four Great Bodhisattvas among the Bodhisattvas. These cannot be defined by ordinary fruit positions. Among the Eighteen Arhats, the Dragon-Subduing Arhat and the Tiger-Subduing Arhat are the strongest, and they are probably already standing at the peak of the Xuanxian.
If it was an ordinary Xuanxian, Jiale would still be willing to give it a try, but after seeing the Subduing Tiger Arhat, Jiale no longer had any other thoughts and was ready at any time to call for help if there was any disagreement.
"Venerable Fu Hu, my little hoodlum cave was able to attract Venerable Fu Hu today. It is truly an honor."
The Subduing Tiger Arhat withdrew his gaze from the Tengu and fixed it on Jiale.
The moment he saw Jiale, Fu Hu Luohan was certain that Lai Pi Hu was killed by Jiale. Although he stayed with the monkey these days, Fu Hu Luohan did not just drink and eat peaches.
He also knew a lot about the situation of the seventy-two demon caves. He knew that a dragon demon king suddenly appeared and conquered twenty-seven demon caves in just a few days. Most of the twenty-seven demon kings died tragically at Jiale's hands, and he was considered to be a cruel and ruthless person.
After all, the Subduing Tiger Arhat did not have the monkey's golden eyes, so he really could not see Jia Le's true identity. After seeing clearly that it was just a dragon, the Subduing Tiger Arhat was relieved. Among the opponents that Buddhism considered difficult to deal with, there has never been a dragon clan, otherwise, Buddhism would not have the Eight Heavenly Dragons.
Moreover, it seems that the death of Lai Pihu is not without value.
The Laipihu is the cause and the Tiangou is the result. Since the Dragon Demon King in front of him has a cause and effect relationship with the Laipihu, it is reasonable for him to take the Tiangou away.
As for whether it is a loss to exchange a scoundrel tiger for a heavenly dog, you don't even need to calculate it. It is definitely not a loss. After all, this scoundrel tiger has been placed here for such a long time and has no effect. It is not as good as the heavenly dog.
Of course, it would be best if the dragon demon king could also be subdued.
Thinking of this, Fu Hu Luohan also felt that there was great potential for him.
This Dragon Demon King is obviously a bit weird. His aura is clearly only at the fifth level of the True Fairyland. However, the Lazier Tiger at the tenth level of the True Fairyland and the Black Sheep Demon King at the ninth level of the True Fairyland are not the match of the Dragon Demon King. Maybe he is also an alien species!
"Fellow Daoist, I passed by this place and felt that you and Buddha have a connection. Please listen to my Buddhist teachings and establish a connection with Buddha."
scare!
When Jiale heard what Fu Hu Luohan said, he was shocked immediately. Don’t make a fuss when listening to a monk preaching. Others may not know, but doesn’t he know how expensive it is to listen to a monk preaching?
When there is a funeral at home, you can invite a monk to perform a ritual and recite some scriptures, which will at most cause you to lose some money.
But when it comes to preaching to living people, it’s not just about asking for money, it’s about asking for people.
"You all go down."
When all the monsters heard Jia Le's words, they all felt relieved. The aura of the Subduing Tiger Arhat was too strong. They had been scared to death for a long time, but they didn't dare to leave. Now after hearing Jia Le's words, they finally relaxed. Even the four general managers didn't care about showing their loyalty at this time, and hurriedly got up and left.
In the cave, Jiale and Fu Hu Luohan were the only ones left for a while, while Tiangou was staring at the tiger beside Fu Hu Luohan.
"Venerable Fu Hu is joking. I will not listen to this scripture. If Venerable Fu Hu has any ideas, please speak directly."
Um!
Hearing Jia Le's words, Fu Hu Luohan was also a little surprised. In this world, no matter whether it is a demon or a human, there are still people who can refuse to listen to a passage of Buddhist scriptures. Now that his identity is known, he should know this passage of scriptures. It represents a Buddhist fate and an opportunity. Could it be that this Buddhist identity is not as good as that of a demon king?
As soon as Jiale saw the expression of Subduing Tiger Arhat, he knew what he was thinking. To be honest, there is really not much wrong with Buddhism. If Jiale was a person who had just entered this world, had no connections, no way to cultivate immortality, and was still struggling on the line of life, then the appearance of Subduing Tiger Arhat would undoubtedly be a huge surprise. If Jiale had any hesitation in recruiting Subduing Tiger Arhat, it would be disrespectful to Buddhism.
But not at this time, Jiale clearly has a better choice.
The strength of the Shangqing lineage is no weaker than that of Buddhism, and they don't have to abide by those strict rules and regulations. They are also very friendly. In this case, the words of Fu Hu Luohan are not so attractive. Unfortunately, Fu Hu Luohan doesn't know Jia Le's situation yet.
However, Fu Hu Luohan obviously knows one thing very well: you can only tell whether a forced melon is sweet by tasting it.
"Heart Sutra of Prajnaparamita, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva..."
The Sanskrit sound was like a dream, rising from the mouth of the Subduing Tiger Arhat, entering Jiale's ears, and suddenly he saw the Western Paradise.
It is said that when living beings in the world see the Western Paradise for the first time they hear the Buddhist scriptures, they are people who have been predestined to be in Buddhism for ten lifetimes. They have a deep affinity with Buddhism and practice Buddhist teachings, which is comparable to the reincarnation of Buddha. When the Subduing Tiger Arhat saw this scene, he was even more excited. He never thought that this casually encountered dragon would have such talent.
Looking at the Buddha's light emanating from Jiale, Fu Hu Luohan suddenly felt that even Tiangou was not attractive enough.
"Seeing that the five aggregates are empty, one can overcome all suffering..."
Subduing Tiger Arhat was also afraid of the long night and many dreams, so he added a little more strength. Such a person with Buddhist affinity is rare, even in Jin Chanzi. Now Jin Chanzi is already the Sandalwood Merit Buddha of Buddhism, the Supreme Being of Buddhism. According to this standard, Jiale is very likely to reach this standard in the future, which is a blessing for Buddhism.
However, what the Subduing Tiger Arhat didn't know was that as the scriptures were recited, a clear light suddenly appeared between Jia Le's eyebrows, and four rays of light appeared directly.
On the overseas Sanxian Island, the three sisters were gaining enlightenment. Suddenly, they felt something in their hearts and followed the guidance of their spiritual inspiration. They directly sensed Jiale's current situation . It turned out to be a Buddhist sound, which was about to break through their spiritual defense line and save Jiale. Yunxiao was fine, but Bixiao was furious. "You bald donkey, it's your good fortune that I don't provoke you, but you dare to come to my house to provoke me, sister, wait a moment, I'll go for a walk."
After saying that, Bixiao was already heading towards the cave of hooligans holding the golden shears.
Yunxiao and Qiongxiao looked at each other and stopped caring about it. The Subduing Tiger Arhat was just a Xuanxian cultivator and Bixiao was more than capable of handling him. In the Heavenly Palace, Ge Xuan was about to descend to the mortal world but stopped when he saw this scene.
However, he noticed that Jiale had transformed into the appearance of a dragon, which was puzzling. He wanted to find out more, but he had some other things on hand at the moment, so he decided to wait until these things were over before talking to Jiale. It happened that the Master's sermon was approaching, so it would not be too late to ask then.
boom!
Subduing Tiger Arhat was about to finish reciting the Heart Sutra and was about to end when a burst of powerful energy exploded in front of him.
A pair of golden scissors and two golden dragons appeared before his eyes, ready to cut him in half the next moment. Looking at this scene and feeling the momentum of the person coming, Fu Hu Luohan was also scared to death. He could not dodge, could not fight, and the person coming was too fast. If he was hit by the scissors, he would lose his life.
Moreover, this pair of scissors is too familiar. With such murderous aura, I am afraid there is no other one like it in the three realms. How come this killer star has appeared today? My life is over.
Outside the gangster cave.
The monkey was originally watching the fun, but when the golden scissors appeared, the monkey could no longer remain calm. Although he didn't want to get involved in those dirty things in Buddhism, the Subduing Tiger Arhat was still to his liking, and he was right at his doorstep and came with him. If Bixiao cut him off with a pair of scissors, he would have a hard time complaining to Tathagata and Guanyin in the future.
Not daring to delay, he stood in front of Fu Hu Luohan with the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand and blocked the Golden Dragon Shears.
Bixiao and the monkey slowly appeared. Bixiao had been stuck in the Sanxian Island overseas for so many years. He had almost driven himself crazy from self-cultivation. Now he finally got such an opportunity. No matter who the opponent was, he had to beat him and have a good fight.
The Golden Shears are transformed from two dragons. They absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon. They rise up and down in the air, with their heads intertwined like scissors and their tails twisted like legs. When the Taoist Patriarch Shangqing was traveling in the East China Sea, he happened to see the two dragons doing evil. They were actually going to kill Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming, the four people who had just transformed. The Taoist Patriarch Shangqing felt that the dragons were full of karma, so he took action and saved the four people.
These two golden dragons are a unique species in the world, incomparable to ordinary dragons, and are truly rare. The Taoist Shangqing used local materials to refine the Golden Dragon Shears, the killing power of which is one of the best among all the spiritual treasures in the world. During the battle of the Conferred Gods, no one did not change color when seeing the Golden Dragon Shears appear, and no one dared to take the initiative to step forward to fight. Its reputation has long been resounding throughout the world.
Even if one is a Golden Immortal, one cannot avoid being cut into two pieces.
As strong as Monkey is, he was no longer careless. He had only one thought in his mind: this woman is not easy to mess with.
He's cutting your vital points with the intention of killing you. If it were anyone else, Monkey might have taken the initiative to step forward and say hello to end the matter. After all, in addition to his ability to fight, Monkey also knows a lot of people. There is no one he doesn't know, whether in heaven or on earth. Plus with his current identity, he rarely fights except with Yang Jian.
But looking at the strange woman opposite, Monkey really didn't recognize her.
It is said that although the Monkey King served as an official in the Heavenly Palace twice and participated in the Peach Banquet, there was basically no immortal god in the Heavenly Palace who he did not know. But we must know that those who do not need to report for duty are the real gods.
After the Conferred God Ceremony, the Three Sisters went to heaven to be conferred gods, but the Jade Emperor could not mobilize them.
Not long after, the Three Sisters escaped the calamity and returned directly to the Three Immortal Islands overseas. Although they held the immortal title of "Fairies who can sense the world" in the Heavenly Court, they had never been to court. Even the Three Sisters had rarely met the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Court. Even the Jade Emperor hardly recognized them, let alone a monkey.
The monkey also felt helpless.
When he was first born, he was fearless and felt that no one in the world could withstand a fight, not even the Jade Emperor. But after being suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years, when he was born again, the monkey felt more and more that the world was changing too fast. Powerful characters appeared one after another, and there were more and more people he could not defeat.
Therefore, he is still arrogant, but also a little more cautious.
Now seeing Bixiao, Monkey couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how many powerful characters are hidden in these three realms.
When the golden scissors and the Ruyi golden hoop collided, the sound was very crisp. In terms of strength, Monkey King and Bixiao were both only in the early stage of Golden Immortal. However, the golden scissors in Bixiao's hand were really not comparable to the Ruyi golden hoop. At this time, Monkey King was getting more and more frightened as the fight went on.
Jiale felt relieved when he saw Bixiao appear.
Of course he would not be so weak that he could not extricate himself after listening to the Heart Sutra of Buddhism. However, this Subduing Tiger Arhat was definitely not someone he could defeat. So he simply went with the flow and did not resist. He directly sent Lingying to the front. The Buddhist sect was poaching people from them, and Jiale did not believe that Sanxiao would be willing to do so. Sure enough, Bixiao came, and she was so powerful that even Jiale was a little surprised.
Subduing Tiger Arhat is still a little confused, not knowing how he had attracted Bixiao out of the blue.
However, looking at the situation on the battlefield at this time, Fu Hu Luohan must not let Bi Xiao and the monkey continue fighting. The noise is so loud, if the fighting continues, I am afraid the entire Three Realms will know about it. The Buddhist plan here is not something that can be told to outsiders.
"Empress Bixiao, this is a misunderstanding. Why is it so? Please stop and talk it over."
Subduing Tiger Arhat naturally knew Bixiao, after all, Bixiao was on the list of people that Buddhism focused on, so his attitude was to take a detour when meeting him. Among the three Xiaos, Yunxiao was the most powerful, but although being powerful was scary, Yunxiao was communicative and sensible, which made Buddhism less afraid of him.
But Bixiao is different. Talking about reason has never been Bixiao's job.
No matter if there is something going on, just give it a couple of scissors first. This is Bixiao's most normal attitude. Not to mention the Eighteen Arhats, even Bodhisattvas and Buddhas are unwilling to provoke this rascal. After all, he is unreasonable and strong. Not only is he strong, but he also has two powerful sisters and a powerful brother. Any one of them is at the Buddha level. If he is beaten by Bixiao, he should just consider himself unlucky.
But if Bixiao was hurt accidentally, it would be all over. Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao and Qiongxiao, who are all sister-con, would directly block Lingshan. That would be nothing unusual.
But at this time Bixiao also became interested, so why would he listen to what Fu Hu Luohan said.
Bixiao had actually heard of the monkey's reputation. After all, it was rare to see a monkey who could make the Heavenly Court suffer a loss and be plotted against by the Buddhist sect. Originally, Bixiao thought that the monkey was just a poor creature who was plotted against by the Buddhist sect and her strength would not be too strong. But today, it seemed that she was not so strong. With such strength, she might not be far from breaking through to the middle stage of the Golden Immortal. If it were not for the Golden Dragon Shears, she might not be its opponent.
The most important thing is fighting talent.
The monkey's fighting ability was really a bit strange. It became stronger and stronger as it fought. After a battle, Bixiao suddenly realized that the monkey was practicing the best fighting way among the three thousand great ways.
The more they fight, the stronger they become, which is the most obvious sign of those who practice the way of war. Even though they are only in the early stage of Golden Immortal, they are able to exert even stronger strength.
It had been a long time since Bixiao had a satisfying fight with anyone, and the worries that had been pent up in his heart for thousands of years suddenly burst out at this moment.
It would have been better if Subduing Tiger Arhat hadn't said anything. As soon as he finished speaking, Bixiao's aura increased again.
By now, the monkey had already exerted his full strength and fell into a battle frenzy. Apart from fighting, he had no other thoughts and would not listen to the words of the Subduing Tiger Arhat.
The battle between the Golden Immortals was so powerful that it could not but shock the Three Realms. For a moment, all the powerful men in the Three Realms turned their eyes over.
When they saw that it was Bixiao and Monkey fighting, they were a little shocked. They didn't know how Monkey had offended Bixiao.
However, most of them dare not look at it too much. The monkey is okay, most of them don't care, but Bixiao is different. If you look at him for one more moment, you may get a scissors cut. It is better to be cautious and not provoke him.
Western sacred mountain.
Tathagata had some thoughts and sighed in his heart. Subduing Tiger Arhat had done a really poor job in this mission. It was not easy for Buddhism to flourish today, and there must not be any major changes.
"Buddha, you still need to go there in person to turn hostility into friendship."
Upon hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva clasped her hands together, nodded in agreement, and went straight to the cave of gangsters.
In heaven.
The God of Wealth Zhao Gongming was practicing, and when he sensed his little sister's situation, he did not dare to neglect it and went down to the mortal world directly. After being deified, Zhao Gongming did not regret his own death, but was only concerned that his three sisters were implicated by him and were included in the list of deified gods together. He hated himself even more for not listening to Yunxiao's advice and letting the four brothers and sisters suffer together.
Therefore, after being deified, Zhao Gongming dared not face the Three Sisters. Although his feelings remained the same, he had only seen them a few times.
Now that he saw his sister fighting with someone, how could Zhao Gongming remain calm? He didn't dare to delay for a moment and rushed over directly.
Jiale was also immersed in the battle between the two at this time.
Not only can one gain insights and improve oneself through battles, but watching masters fight can also be of great benefit. Unlike the fear and trepidation of the Subduing Tiger Arhat, Jia Le did not feel any pressure at all and just watched quietly.
However, there are still some things to deal with at this time. After this incident, it is impossible for Jiale to stay here any longer as the Dragon Demon King. But it is not good to waste so many Demon Kings, so it is better to seize the time and deal with these Demon Kings as soon as possible.
"Jia Zi God, Ding Mao God!"
"I'm here!"
"Jia Zi God, you lead 10,000 demon soldiers to pacify the 15 demon caves on the left; Ding Mao God, you lead 10,000 demon soldiers to pacify the 15 demon caves on the right."
"As you command."
Jiazi God and Ding God are now at the level of the fifth level of the True Fairyland, and the remaining forty-five demon caves are basically around this level. Jiazi God and Ding God have a telepathic connection with Jiale, and can use some of Jiale's methods. Among the forty-five demon caves, these thirty or so are the weakest and can basically be defeated.
As for the fifteen demon caves in the middle, he would go there personally.
