Chapter 163: Wonderful Dharma and Lotus Buddha Formation
Yunlong collected Chongyun. He was also very happy in his heart: "The harvest of twenty-one thousand three hundred and sixty-five is really not a small gain. After several mutations and evolutions, these red-eyed golden ants have been able to surround and kill the masters of the gods. Such power is already beyond the red-eyed ones." The original racial restriction potential of the Golden Armored Ant has been greatly increased, and it can be called a new species.
If I go back and study it carefully and cultivate it through the art of refining Gu in Southern Xinjiang, it will definitely become more powerful. Maybe it will become a more powerful variety than the legendary 'Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu'. I really look forward to it. "
He took another look at Zhang Yun, who was complimenting him but was a little distracted and said with a smile: "Boy Zhang can't bear to part with those dead red-eyed golden ants."
Zhang Yun couldn't help but look embarrassed when he was called out, and said to Yun Long in embarrassment: "Senior, you also know that this junior is an alchemist who is not good at fighting. He is not good at refining weapons, so he is good at refining elixirs. This red-eyed golden ant is extremely rare, and it happened this time The appearance of such a large group is really a strange technique.
Moreover, they have devoured countless treasures of heaven, earth, materials, and metal spiritual energy. It has gone through several mutations before it has evolved to this point. It is a rare material for alchemy and weapon refining. Even after death, there will still be a lot of involved spiritual energy left in the body... This junior was quite poor before he joined Taiyuan, so he couldn't bear to waste it. It's really heartbreaking to think that no one will collect so many treasures, and in the end, the spiritual energy will be lost and become fertilizer for plants and trees. I'm in a trance for a moment. Please forgive me, senior. After saying that, Zhang Yun smiled sheepishly.
The three friends of Yunzhen next to him reacted immediately after hearing Zhang Yun's explanation and couldn't help but feel a little moved. "Since Zhang Yun is good at alchemy and has been helped by us this time, he already has some friendship. If he collects the corpses of these red-eyed golden ants, Letting him refine the elixir will surely benefit us a little bit." After thinking about it, they couldn't help but turn their attention to Yunlong.
Yunlong looked at their eyes and didn't know what they were thinking. He smiled and waved his hands and said, "You're a very careful kid. You also have the ability to turn waste into treasure even if you don't see it. Well, I'm not stingy either. Go ahead now." After saying that, he handed him another token; the token said: "After entering the camp, use the breath of this token to find me. I have something to ask you. The three of you didn't see it clearly this time. If the situation arises, I risked an attack and almost got trapped. Follow me back to the camp to find a quiet room to think about the gains and losses of this battle." Then he waved to Zhang Yun and glared at the three friends of Yunzhen before leading them away.
Zhang Yun was overjoyed to get his wish and quickly thanked Yunlong and then quickly flew back to the place where a large number of red-eyed golden ant corpses were left and began to get busy. What surprised him was the corpse of the dead red-eyed golden ant. He also found dozens of slightly injured, half-dead and unevolved red-eyed golden ants, and quickly used magic to freeze them and put them in storage bags (his cultivation was not enough to open up the mustard space). These mutant red-eyed golden ants are rare alien species, and if they are refined with a little bit of insect repellent technology, they can become a powerful help.
After cleaning the "battlefield", he entered the Song Dynasty's military camp. The soldiers guarding the camp checked his token at home and gave him a respectful military salute before letting him into the camp.
Yunlong was repairing his breath in one of his tents in the camp. Suddenly his expression changed, he smiled and said to the outside: "Since you are here, come in." After he finished speaking, he heard someone outside saying hello first, and then saw Zhang Yun, who had packed his clothes, opened the door. The camp curtain came in.
Seeing that there was still joy on his face, Yunlong couldn't help but smile and said: "Young man Zhang, you have gained a lot this time." Seeing Zhang Yun's high interest, Yunlong knew that he must have gained a lot of benefits, and even he could get it with a little calculation. Know the general situation. But why bother? If everything has to be calculated and known clearly, what's the point of living? Life is wonderful because of the unknown.
Zhang Yun never thought that he could hide this. Yunlong nodded and said sheepishly: "Junior, thank you, senior, for taking care of me." He knew in his heart that this harvest would be exchanged for cultivation materials. Refining some more elixirs would be enough to save him from having to worry about cultivation for decades.
Yunlong looked at the boy opposite (--Zhang Yun). Although he has been practicing for nearly a hundred years, cultivators seek the way to immortality. Aging is much slower than that of normal people. In addition, his whole body has already undergone a rebirth when he has just entered the stage of transformation, so he is still there today. Appearance in his twenties) felt a sigh of relief in his heart that it took him more than fifty years to cultivate to his level, even after inheriting the cultivation of the Holy Spirit Tree. This is not counting the ignorance of the Oolong Sea Snake in the previous thousand years. . God is so kind to mankind.
After calming down, Yunlong said to Zhang Yun: "I'm afraid you didn't come privately but accepted the entrustment from the court." Without the court entrusting him, it is very dangerous for an alchemist to walk alone even if he has not entered the stage of transformation. The "combat effectiveness" of the alchemist is really poor.
Zhang Yun quickly replied: "Senior, I am indeed entrusted by Prime Minister Liu He. The materials shipped to our comrades in the army are all inspected by senior here." After that, he handed over the Qiankun bag containing the cultivation materials.
As a result, Yunlong just scanned the Qiankun Bag with his soul and found out that it contained enough cultivation materials for one month. Yunlong said to Zhang Yun with satisfaction: "You have done a good job and my army will be able to capture Jinling in one month."
Zhang Yun couldn't help but asked curiously: "Senior, I heard from my comrades in the army that in front of Jinling City, several sects from the Southern Tang Dynasty jointly set up a very powerful formation to fight with our army. It has been a stalemate for two months. May I ask why senior is so confident now?"
When he entered the camp, he didn't go straight to Yunlong's camp. He also inquired about the situation from the cultivators he met on the way. He was the first to get information when he first arrived in a foreign place. Those cultivators saw that he was a master in the transformation stage and did not dare to neglect to tell the general situation. Speak clearly to him. Let him know what kind of difficulties the army is encountering now, so he has this question.
"Hahahaha, that's a good question. I'll tell you in detail and listen to it -" Yunlong spoke to Zhang Yun with great interest.
"The formation under Jinling City was jointly set up by several major sects such as Maoshan Sect, Chongyang Sect, Tianjian Sect, Buddhist Zen Sect, and Sanlun Sect. However, Maoshan Sect, Chongyang Sect, and Tianjian Sect are only good at magic. He was not very proficient in formations, swordsmanship, etc., so he had to rely on the combined efforts of Zen and Sanlunzong to support the formation.
This formation is called the "Wonderful Dharma Flower and Lotus Formation", which is a combination of the "Bodhi Dharma Formation" of Zen Buddhism and the "Fahua Golden Lotus Formation" of Sanlun Sect. The golden lotus blocks people's way; there are also Buddhist Zen sounds and Dharma conch sounds that can confuse people's hearts and persuade them to follow the Buddha, which is really difficult to deal with. "
At this point, Yunlong sighed and said: "To put it bluntly, in the past two months, dozens of cultivators in the Qi-into-Body stage have been fascinated by the formation and lost consciousness; there are even two cultivators in the God-Transformation stage. You are trapped in the formation and cannot escape. In my opinion, under normal conditions, this formation is presided over by someone, and even three or two masters cannot break it."
Zhang Yun heard this. He quickly said: "In this case, senior, why don't you summon the masters of several sects in the Song Dynasty to help us? If they are reasonable, they can definitely break this formation."
Yunlong glanced at Zhang Yun and said angrily: "You brat, you don't believe in my strength so much? Are you asking me to bring in reinforcements?"
Zhang Yun smiled awkwardly and said: "Senior, it's not that I don't believe in your strength but that the opponent has too many people. If you win with more, you won't win with force. We don't need to fight with the opponent when we are at a disadvantage."
Yunlong laughed and scolded: "You brat is quite good at talking. But you underestimate my strength too much. Even though they have many people, in my eyes they are like chickens and dogs. They can be defeated just by talking and laughing!" As Yunlong spoke, a sense of pride arose from Yunlong's body as he regarded the world's heroes as if they were nothing. At this moment, Zhang Yun seemed to really feel that nothing in the world could defeat Yunlong.
"Although I haven't taken action directly in the past two months, I have been studying the structure and operation methods of this formation. Now I have achieved results and I am very confident about breaking the formation! Even though the opponent has several masters of the Void Return Stage sitting in charge, I still I will tell them to admit defeat!"
At this point, Yunlong said to Zhang Yun, who was a little surprised: "The reason why I tell you so much is not only because I think you have postponed your extension, but also because you have entered the stage of transformation and are eligible to participate in the formation-breaking candidates. This is something I have done since ancient times. The alchemy furnace obtained from the monk's cave is already close to the best magic weapon in terms of quality. You can take it and refine it carefully to use it to break the formation and protect yourself. I will teach you the method of breaking the formation** and it only needs to be like this... .Once the formation is successfully broken, this "Five Yun Cauldron" will belong to you. "After saying that, he took out a small tripod made of five-color materials with a simple style and threw it to Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun stupidly passed the small cauldron, but was almost knocked over by its weight. He quickly conveyed the True Yuan Luck Envoy Treasure Collection Technique into it, and then accepted the sudden reward. Once the magic weapon is refined, it can be large or small. Just now, it was just a reduced form of the "Five Yun Cauldron", but its weight did not decrease. This caused Zhang Yun to almost make a fool of himself.
Zhang Yun calmed down and could not calm down the joy in his heart and quickly expressed his determination to Yunlong: "Senior, don't worry, I have already memorized what you taught me just now. I will definitely practice hard when I go back to live up to senior's respect!"
"Well, that's good. I don't have anything else to do. Just step back." Yunlong said with satisfaction.
"It's senior." Zhang Yun made another sincere gift and happily put the "Five Yun Cauldron" into his storage bag before exiting the camp and following the instructions of the lieutenant general to his assigned camp. The harvest this time was too great. He can't calm down yet and needs to take a good rest and consolidate before practicing tomorrow's formation-breaking technique.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to meet someone with such ancient bloodline. No wonder the alchemy talent is so amazing. Oh, do you want to pass on the 'Shennong Manuscript' found in Shennongjia to him? Well, it still depends on his performance in the future. Boy Zhang, don't let me down." Yunlong murmured as he looked in the direction Zhang Yun was leaving.
He then stood up and walked out of the door. Amidst the exclamations, he stood up in the air and looked at the golden formation outside Jinling City opposite. "Tomorrow we will break the formation here. The first country to be annexed after the founding of the Song Dynasty was the Southern Tang Dynasty!" Yunlong couldn't help but his heart surged when he thought of this. He couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl like a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring, shaking the nine heavens with majesty. The sacred aura rose up from his body and spread outward. At this moment, he seemed to have turned into the Nine Heavens Dragon God and looked down upon the world!
................................................................. .............................
On the opposite side, in the "Wonderful Dharma and Lotus Buddha Array", the flying gods are dancing, the Arhats are chanting the Buddha's sutras, and the golden lotus is everywhere. The meaning of peace and compassion is reflected everywhere in Buddhism. At the center of the formation, there is an isolated space with no golden light but fresh air. Several cultivators dressed as monks and Taoists are sitting here and discussing something.
A fat monk with a fat head and big ears, a shiny face, and wearing an orange cassock with his breasts exposed was speaking: "Fellow Taoists, as agreed, as long as we hold on to the formation for one month, the Song Dynasty will be considered defeated. By then, how many factions will we have?" It is all thanks to all of you that you can still enjoy worship in the mortal world without changing your status in the new dynasty." When he opened his mouth, he smiled as funny as if Maitreya Buddha had come into the world.
This person is the presiding officer of the "Fahua Golden Lotus Formation" by the great elder "Laughing Maitreya" and the mind-gazing monk of the Sanlunzong Sect.
"Everywhere, our sects have worked together to be able to hold on with the help of this 'Buddhist' sect formation. All Taoist friends have contributed a lot to this, haha. I really want to see what happens after Song Guo loses the bet. How can Long Zihui be so arrogant?"
The one who spoke was none other than the first Buddhist monk of the Bodhidharma Hall of the Zen Sect. He practiced physical cultivation and combat skills, but his cultivation of mental state was far behind. He was still unable to achieve the state of "the heart is like a bright mirror, unstained by dust". An irony of Yu Longzi before. Still worried about it.
The other three people on the side, Taoist Master Chang Qingzhi of Maoshan, Ziyang Zhenren, the leader of the Chongyang Sect, and Jian Wuchen, the leader of the Tianjian Sect, felt very uncomfortable when they heard what Fa Yuan said just now. The words "Buddha" and "Help" were specially emphasized. The purpose, which is obvious without asking, is to remind a few of them that most of the credit goes to Buddhism. Without me, Buddhism would not have been able to win the bet by setting up the formation.
These masters are also in the stage of returning to the void. Even Ziyang Zhenren and Jian Wuchen have reached the middle stage of returning to the void. They have higher cultivation than the other four, but they are not good at using powerful formations and cannot show their power. In the past two months, they could only squat in the "Wonderful Dharma Flower Lotus Buddha Formation" to assist the two hosts in attacking the cultivators who entered the formation.
However, Yunlong had a keen eye and knew how powerful this formation was, so he never sent any masters of the Void Returning Stage into the formation. He only sent some cultivators of the God Transformation Stage, and even more of the Qi-Entering Body Stage, to explore the formation and stifle the few masters.
Don't fight. It's not a problem to let these little monks pry into the secrets of the formation. If there are a few formation geniuses mixed in and see through the secrets of the big formation and come back to break it, it will be their mistake.
Let's fight. These little monks are too low in cultivation and are not worthy of being their opponents. Fighting against them is simply lowering one's status. It would be a joke in the cultivation world if one or two of them were killed by accident.
"The master in the return stage beat to death the juniors in the Qi training stage (that is, the stage of introducing Qi into the body) who have no moral integrity and moral integrity." "A certain grandmaster fought with the enemy for several months and finally killed a monk in the transformation stage. A monk in the Qi training stage was modified. The other two have no results." The same rumors related to derogatory terms such as bullying the small and being shameless will definitely become a stain in their lives that will never be erased.
At that time, in order to protect its own reputation, the sect, even if it does not remove them, will put them in the cold palace to think about their mistakes behind closed doors - there is a precedent for such a thing in the world of cultivation. And maybe such rumors will spread from the two great monks in front of them. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has lasted for countless years and no one will give up if there is an opportunity to suppress it.
Therefore, these masters only used some means to expel the young monks in the Qi training stage who entered the formation; the only two cultivators in the God Transformation stage only used the power of the formation to trap them in the formation. Xin and Fayuan used the method of Buddhist Zen singing to confuse his mind, hoping to plant Buddhist seeds deep in his Taoist heart so that he could turn his mind toward Buddhism and become a Buddhist disciple. ——Of course in Buddhism this is called transition.
"Buddhists have mastered the art of eloquence and can bloom lotuses in their mouths, but I won't argue with him." The three of them thought to themselves. Jian Wuchen said: "Although the formation has been stable in the past two months, the opponent's Void Return Stage Grandmaster has never appeared. I suspect that the opponent either does not have enough strength or has a conspiracy!"
The other four people's hearts tightened. Jian Wuchen's words made sense. It was impossible for the other party to lose the bet to their side in vain. If they didn't pay attention to it, it was impossible. So many offerings were enough to support the consumption of several sects. How could they not pay attention to it? Then there was only one possibility. Several masters looked at each other, "There must be a conspiracy!" They came to the same answer.
At this moment, the roar of Yunlong came. "This is You Longzi's voice! There is such confidence in the roar. It seems that the other party is already sure of breaking the formation. Let's put down our prejudices and fight this battle for the future of our factions!" Jian Wuchen said. After hearing this, several people thought for a moment and nodded.
It is only right to put aside the debate between Buddhism and Taoism to deal with the challenges at hand. "You Longzi, if you have the ability, come and break the formation!" Several masters shouted in their hearts, with strong fighting spirit in their eyes.
(Try to separate the narrative haha, it seems that I have made a mistake again, but I think this description is necessary. The description before the war is also a foreshadowing. Digging holes, digging holes...o(n_n)o~)
