"Monster, if it weren't for you, why would we have to spend our vitality, essence, and blood to add magic power to the masters' magic weapons?"
"Wukong Temple has been built for more than 30 years, but has it ever done anything harmful to anyone? The Buddha is extremely efficacious and responds to all requests. He is a true Buddha in the world, a solemn treasure!"
"..."
Under the night, the torches were blazing, and the big black dog was furious and barking, which attracted unanimous scoldings from the believers.
"It's ridiculous. A bunch of bewitched pigs and dogs who keep weapons are being exploited without knowing it. When these monster monks' magical weapons are completed and they harm the world, you will be the biggest accomplices. You will not end well in retribution!" The big black dog barked.
"Wu Yao, at this time, you are still trying to deceive people and slander the Buddha. Even a poor monk cannot tolerate you!"
The old monk spoke righteously, his handprints turned over, and strange powers emerged one after another. The big black dog in the wooden cage began to bark wildly, as if it was being restrained by something and was being tortured continuously.
Jiang Liyun focused his eyes and saw many bright red thin lines on the black dog.
These thin lines are deeply embedded in the big black dog's hair, and they only appear faintly when it struggles.
As the old monk's handprints accelerated, the countless thin threads tying the big black dog's body continued to tighten.
It seems to possess some unknown magic power, and even the big black dog whose physical body is comparable to that of a sixth- or seventh-level martial artist is unable to resist it.
By the end, my whole body was twitching in pain, and my eyes were rolling.
"These thin threads can not only imprison the black dog's physical body, but also seem to bind its soul, so that the soul power cannot leave the body!"
Jiang Li thought to himself.
At this time, the monks holding the strange-shaped spikes collected the essence and blood of the believers and returned to the open space. They held the strange-shaped spikes above their heads with both hands and murmured Buddhist sounds in their mouths, which gradually gathered into a strange and mysterious tone. .
"Ananda should know that when you sit in the dojo and put away all your thoughts, if your thoughts are extinguished, all the thoughts will be separated and all shrewdness will remain unchanged... without letting the gods and demons find their convenience, maintain their protection, and achieve the supreme path!"
The old monk opened his hands and recited the Surangama Sutra, his old cassock rising without the wind.
The strange-shaped spikes in the hands of the monks also floated slowly with the support of mysterious power, flew to the top of the old monk's head, gathered together, and unexpectedly combined into a staff with a blue and red halo.
"Eradicate demons and become enlightened, immeasurable merit!"
The old monk held his staff and walked to the big wooden cage. The big black dog restrained in it was already dying of pain and foaming at the mouth.
"Big demon, let me ask you again, will you surrender or not? As long as you convert to Buddhism and hand over the remains of Emperor Pan, I will not only spare your life, but also let you become my mount. I will achieve enlightenment in the future. Buddha, you will also be ranked among the Arhats and achieve a golden body!"
The old monk lay close to the wooden cage and his voice was barely audible.
"Wow, old thief Baldy, you are a monster monk who does not abide by the rules and precepts. I am a monster with unparalleled integrity. I would rather break than bend. I would rather be stewed and eat meat than be ridden by you, a chrysanthemum!"
The big black dog had a tough look on his face and barked: "I'm not afraid that you will know that I have many backers, including the Demon King and the Zhenwu Marquis Mansion. If you dare to hurt me, you are destined to not survive." tonight!"
"Humph, since you are stubborn and unwilling to convert to Buddhism and change your mind, then don't blame the poor monk for breaking the precepts and killing animals to eliminate demons for the people!
The old monk shouted loudly, raised the staff in his hand high, and stabbed the big black dog's neck with a sharp spike at the end.
"Ouch, my dog is dead!"
The big black dog closed his eyes and whimpered in despair.
"Flying sand can turn stones into gold!"
In the grass a hundred meters away, Jiang Li clenched his right fist, and a strong wind suddenly rose in the open space, filling the air with flying sand and rocks, covering an area of more than fifty meters.
More than a month ago, Jiang Li had his body filled with Wen Qi, his soul power and Qi veins were both refined, and his power of flying sand and moving rocks was also enhanced accordingly.
Not only is the coverage area larger, but the power is also doubled.
Flying sand is lasing under hurricane force and can penetrate a layer of iron armor.
"The demon has cast a spell!"
"Run away quickly, the demon has an attack and is about to rush out!"
"Master, help me, surrender the black demon quickly!"
"Mom, help me!"
The hurricane suddenly formed into a pillar, soaring straight into the sky, sweeping through the clearings of the mountain col, stirring up sand and gravel, and flying dust.
The believers had never seen such a scene before. They thought it was a big black dog trying to break out of the wooden cage. They were all frightened, screamed and howled, and turned around and ran away.
They crowded around each other and the scene instantly became chaotic.
"What happened!"
"Taofa, this is Taofa!"
"Who here dares to disrupt my work at Wukong Temple!"
Amid the hurricane, the monks of Wukong Temple were frightened and angry. The sand and gravel were whipped on their bodies by the strong wind, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the monks' robes were shattered.
"Don't panic, everyone come together!"
The old monk roared, and he inserted the staff in his hand into the ground. The seals of his hands continued to condense, and the bloody light rushed out from the staff, expanding an eggshell-shaped space.
The flying sand and rocks hit the Wumeng Blood Shield with a clanging sound, making an astonishing sound, like countless gold and iron hidden weapons and arrows being shot, and the Wumeng Blood Shield was shaking upon impact.
Twelve monks rolled and crawled into the light barrier. They were all bloody and miserable. The monks' robes had long been torn into strands and stained with blood. They looked miserable.
"Abbott, who is this person from?"
"It hurts so much, please help me!"
The monks screamed and mourned endlessly.
"The other party's origins are very evil. It's not like I haven't seen this kind of method before, but the power it can drive is not like magic power, let alone true energy!"
The old monk trembled and said, the seals he made with his hands almost turned into shadows, and wisps of black and red blood flew out of the staff, floating to the monks who were slumped around, and immersed in it.
The wounds on the monks' originally bloody skin quickly coagulated into scabs, and the pain was greatly reduced.
"Damn it, if I hadn't worn gold clothes today, how would I have been injured by this trick!"
Twelve monks jumped up from the ground. They were like dragons and tigers. The bones in their bodies crackled. The strong energy and blood dormant in their bodies immediately emerged. They all had strong martial arts realm.
"This evil wind shouldn't last too long. It's not easy to control such a large area. Follow me and rush out!"
The old monk shouted, and the four monks immediately stepped forward, struggled to pull the staff out of the soil, and were about to move it.
"Dang Dang Dang"
But in the next moment, the surrounding gravel and dust suddenly condensed and turned into thousands of sharp blades, slashing towards the light barrier.
The magic circle trembled suddenly, and the hands of the four monks holding the staffs were almost shaken away, and the old monk couldn't help but groan.
"Hahaha, Lord Dog, I'm alive again!"
The wind and sand swept outside, and the dirty voice of the big black dog was also heard in the distance. Several sharp blades condensed with sand and gravel flew up, shredding the wooden cage trapping the big black dog, and even lifting the thin threads wrapped around its body. , open the gap.
The black dog shrank suddenly, its bones tightened, and its body immediately shrank in size. It swooped out from the thin thread and landed on the ground, laughing up to the sky.
It looked at the group of monks trapped in the hurricane, and it felt evil in its heart. It was about to rush out, but Jiang Li, who rushed over immediately, grabbed their necks.
"Go first!"
A streak of zhenqi wrapped around the huddled red thin thread. Jiang Li picked up the big black dog, and with a few dodgers, he ran into the forest and disappeared.
"Damn it, who is it?"
In the clearing of the mountain col, the hurricane gradually disappeared, and the figures of the monks emerged under the cover of Wumeng's blood.
The believers had long since fled to nowhere, the wooden cages had been cut to pieces by sharp knives, and the dog monsters that had finally been caught had long since escaped without a trace.
"My Pan Emperor's bones, Gou Ri's, and my spirit binding rope!"
The old monk was heartbroken and almost burst into tears. The staff in his hand spread out with a bang and was re-divided into twelve strange-shaped spikes, the light dimmed.
"Our temple is far away from people, and no one knows about the execution of the dog demon tonight. The person who interfered is probably in the temple!"
The old monk stamped his feet and said: "Let's go back to the temple. I want to personally check those monks who are walking around. The wind is so weird that even Taoist masters in the state of seizing the body can't recover for a while. You put on the golden clothes, Go and search everywhere, we must not let that man or that dog escape!"
…
"Jiang Li, why don't you let me kill them directly!"
In the woods, the big black dog was full of anger and murderous intent. He turned around and was about to scream at the mountain col, but was slapped back by Jiang Li.
"Those monks are very weird and not easy to kill. Are you not afraid of being stewed with dog meat if you just rush in?"
Jiang Li said angrily: "Since you ran away that day and didn't go to find your demon king boss, why did you come to the village of the villagers? Could it be that you really wanted to cause trouble and seduce good families?"
"Bah, bah, bah, demons also have principles. Races are mixed. Anyone with any moral integrity would not do this. Who likes their offspring to be called bastards?"
The big black dog spoke righteously and barked: "My spirit has not yet recovered, how can I easily hand over the remains of Pan Emperor to the Demon King? I am a monster and not a slave. I will tell you when the Demon King comes to find me!"
"You are very worthy of yourself!"
Jiang Li laughed when he heard this. Although the big black dog was a bit mean, greedy for money and afraid of death, he was calm. At most, he was a real puppy!
"I was injured on duty!" the big black dog barked.
Jiang Li was speechless, grabbed the black dog and ran all the way, and soon returned to Wukong Temple.
The monks who suffered a secret loss have not yet returned. Everything in the backyard of Wukong Temple was as usual. Jiang Li jumped over the courtyard wall and landed lightly.
Two breathing sounds, one high and one low, could be heard in the house. Jiang Li pushed the door gently and saw Zhao Tiehe leaning on the bed, holding something like an air bag in his palm, which made breathing sounds like a deep sleep as he squeezed it.
"You're finally back. I was still worried about the Demon Slayer Convention...fuck you!"
Seeing Jiang Li sneak into the house, Zhao Tiehe quickly stood up and asked. Before he could say anything, he saw a big black dog the size of a calf running out from behind Jiang Li. He shivered in fright and jumped back on the bed.
"Could this be that monster?"
Zhao Tiehe said in shock.
The big black dog is huge, with eyes the size of copper bells, fierce eyes, and shiny black hair. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a black tiger.
"That's the unlucky guy!"
Jiang Li smiled and said: "The monks from Wukong Temple will most likely come to ask us for questioning soon. Be careful and don't reveal your secret."
"Don't worry, I was just sleeping in the house!"
Zhao Tiehe looked at the big black dog and pondered for a long time, but still did not dare to get out of bed, "How about it, are those monks serious?"
"You're so serious, you'll never do anything immoral without being capable!" the big black dog yelled.
"Holy shit, you're such a fucking monster!"
Zhao Tiehe shrank his neck in fear.
"Go, hide under the bed!"
Jiang Li kicked the big black dog. Although the latter looked unhappy and grinned, he still grunted and got in.
"This big dog is at least a monster in the divine realm!" Zhao Tiehe jumped off the bed quickly and said curiously: "He is quite obedient!"
"It turned out to be a big demon in the state of seizing the body. He sneaked into the Zhenwu Marquis Mansion and was beaten to the point of falling into the state. I raised him like a puppy for a while, but he knew the current affairs, otherwise he would have been knocked down long ago!" Jiang Li said.
"Wow, the hatred of the dog is irreconcilable!"
Under the bed, the big black dog was furious.
"Two benefactors, have you rested? My abbot would like to invite you to the main hall for a chat!"
Not long after, there was a rustling of footsteps outside the house. It seemed that many people were returning and leaving in a hurry.
After a while, the footsteps came closer, and a monk knocked on the door.
"Isn't your abbot sleeping in the middle of the night? What's there to talk about? My young master doesn't believe in Buddhism!"
Jiang Li opened the door, his eyes were sleepy and he was out of breath.
"Step back, you have no right to speak here!"
Zhao Tiehe put on a robe, scolded angrily, and immediately raised his hands to the monk outside the door: "Master, don't blame me, a servant who has never been educated is a bit vulgar!"
"It's okay, it's okay. I shouldn't bother you. Please come with me, you two!"
The monk outside the door clasped his hands, turned around and led the way, leading the two people to the Buddhist hall.
Under the dim oil lamp, there were more than a dozen figures standing in the small Buddhist hall. Most of them were monks from Wukong Temple in simple clothes. Their gloomy eyes at this time seemed to have lost the kindness and amiability they had during the day. Instead, it was a bit more sinister.
In addition, there are three more simply dressed monks, who look crooked and cracked. One of them is wearing a monk's robe, half of which is mended with sacks.
Zhao Tiehe glanced at the three of them and frowned. This temple was indeed not serious.
At first glance, these three traveling monks are not real monks. They are probably magicians and beggars who travel from village to village.
The monks of Wukong Temple probably knew this a long time ago, and they pretended to bring the three people in, probably to show off to the believers in the eight nearby villages.
"Everyone is here. Let me make a long story short!"
The old monk chanted sutras in front of the Buddha statue. He slowly stood up, turned around, and clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, today Wukong Temple held a demon elimination meeting in the back mountain to eliminate demons, but an evil person interfered with it. He let go of the demons, took away the magical weapons in the temple, and even injured twelve disciples of our temple!"
"Is there still such a thing? There is no justice in heaven. This Huihong Temple, which has benefited a lot of people, will also suffer the same fate. My Buddha is merciful, Amitabha!"
The monk wearing a sack was a scruffy old man who was skinny and skinny. He immediately looked pitiful and sighed, seeming to be even angrier than the old monk.
"Amitabha!"
"Brother Abbot, don't take it to heart!"
The other two traveling monks were sleepy and had not yet woken up, so they responded perfunctorily.
Jiang Li and Zhao Tiehe, on the other hand, remained silent.
The old monk walked around the center of the Buddhist hall for several times. He kept his eyes open and looked back and forth at the people for a long time. It seemed that there was nothing hidden in the three walking monks.
Finally, his eyes fell on Jiang Li.
call
As soon as the old monk's gaze paused, the two young monks in the temple suddenly rose up in anger, whistling with fists and feet, and smashed towards Zhao Tiehe head and face.
The moves are fierce and ruthless, leaving absolutely no room for mercy, and the stance is deadly once you get started.
"Hmph, what do you want to do? Could it be that this is not a temple, but a black shop?"
Zhao Tiehe snorted coldly, and his body shook violently, making the air crackle. The robes flying around him flew up, and his two arms thicker than an adult man directly blocked the fists and feet of the two monks.
Both sides retreated.
"Good work!"
Three or five more monks shouted at the same time, flicked their robes, and also attacked.
"Bastard, do you know who my young master is? A bunch of bald donkeys are looking for death!"
Jiang Li's body flashed, and his whole body was surrounded by true energy. He also rushed into the battle group and blocked the two Tai Chi monks for Zhao Tiehe.
The temple immediately became a mess, and the banging sounds of fists and feet continued to sound.
"What do you say!"
"Amitabha, harmony brings wealth!"
When the three walking monks saw this, they were so frightened that they quickly ran away.
"Stop it all!"
The old monk took a few steps back. After watching Zhao Tiehe and Jiang Li's skills for a while, his eyes flashed and he suddenly shouted to stop.
When the monks heard this, they made a false move and immediately withdrew from the circle.
"Old monk, will you try us again?"
Zhao Tiehe patted the footprints and fist marks on his body, with a sullen look on his face, "A group of country monks don't know my identity. Even if they sold your entire temple, they couldn't make up for my monthly salary. I won't sleep." , greedy for the wooden fish and sticks in your temple?"
"You guys wait, when my young master goes to Shengjing, please put down the soldiers, and I will destroy your temple tomorrow!" Jiang Li also said harshly.
"You two have misunderstood. It's not a matter of testing or suspicion. It's just that these disciples of mine saw the young master dancing in the backyard. His boxing skills were strong and his momentum was strong. They were itching for a while and wanted to learn from him!"
The old monk smiled apologetically and said, "They are in the deep mountains. They don't know any rules and offended the young master. I will apologize to you two."
"Old bald donkey, think of me as a two or three-year-old child. What happened today will never be good!" Zhao Tiehe snorted heavily.
"Sir, there is indeed a misunderstanding about what happened today. I have some blood-nourishing medicine here, which can be regarded as a gift of apology!"
The old monk smiled and said: "I know that the young master has an extraordinary background, and there are powerful people in Shengjing City, but I am not able to build a temple outside Shengjing City just because of my Dharma and compassion!"
"How do you say this?" Zhao Tiehe asked.
"Since the young master is practicing martial arts, he should know that he is the number one martial artist in the world today!" The old monk touched the beard on his chin and smiled mysteriously.
"You don't want to say that your Wukong Temple is protected by Wuhou!" Jiang Li smiled coldly: "Who in the world doesn't know that Wuhou is the most evil ghost, god, and Taoist law."
"Marquis Wu naturally doesn't like our Buddhist sect, but Marquis Wu is not the only one who controls the Marquis Wu Mansion!"
The old monk said calmly: "The Buddha statues that Mrs. Wu Hou worships day and night in the temple are brought back from my Wukong Temple!"
"There is such a thing!"
Jiang Li and Zhao Tiehe both felt moved.
"This matter can be considered a secret. If you really want to vent your anger and risk offending the Zhenwu Hou Mansion, you can do it yourself!" the old monk said.
There were two monks from Wukong Temple nearby, carrying two wooden trays and walking up to them. There were several porcelain bottles on them. One of the monks opened the cork of one of the bottles, and a rich aroma of blood rushed out.
Jiang Li felt a little nauseous when he thought of the scene in the mountain col where the magic weapon was tempered with essence and blood.
Wukong Temple is not supported by property, so naturally there is no money to buy medicinal materials and animal blood for refining precious medicines!
"Hmph, for the sake of Marquis Wu, I will spare you just once!"
Jiang Li winked, and Zhao Tiehe snorted coldly and walked away.
"What a dirty precious medicine, our young master doesn't care about it!"
Jiang Li also snorted and crossed the threshold to chase Zhao Tiehe. However, when he passed the corner outside the Buddhist hall, a gust of wind blew by, and a biting chill instantly hit him. His body trembled and he couldn't help but beat. A chill.
"Ghost!"
Jiang Li paused slightly. The cold air came and receded very quickly, as if it was just an illusion.
But he had been possessed by ghosts twice, and he was extremely familiar and certain of this feeling.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a door in the Buddhist hall swinging slightly as it moved without wind.
"Jiang Li, there is indeed a problem with this Wukong Temple. The few monks who fought with me are all Taiji level strength. Even among the monks in the big temple, they are by no means weak. So many warriors appear in this small The temple is absolutely weird!”
As soon as he returned to the house, Zhao Tiehe could no longer maintain his calm expression, "And the old monk actually directly revealed his relationship with the eldest lady of Wuhou Mansion. He should not be bluffing us again. Will they silence us?" ?”
"It shouldn't be the case. I think they took the initiative to reveal that Wukong Temple is under the protection of the First Lady just because they don't want to cause more trouble!"
Jiang Li shook his head. He returned to the bed and sat cross-legged. He placed an incense burner in front of him and lit six incense sticks.
"Brother Zhao, protect me while my ghost leaves my body and goes to the Buddhist hall to check. If what I just sensed is correct, there should be a ghost that has slipped into the Buddhist hall!" Jiang Li said.
"What? You can also teach Dharma!"
Zhao Tiehe's eyes widened, extremely surprised.
He knew that Jiang Li had been suppressed by the eldest lady in Zhenwuhou Mansion since he was a child, and he only started to get used to it after he was sixteen years old.
Logically speaking, there is almost no foundation in martial arts, let alone Dao veins that are even more mysterious than martial arts.
But looking at Jiang Li at this moment, it was not just as simple as having practiced martial arts. He was able to leave his body to inquire about information, which was at least the level of night travel.
Before Zhao Tiehe finished speaking, Jiang Li had already closed his eyes.
Inside the house, the incense sticks were burning, and the smoke was rising upwards. Suddenly there was a wind in the empty room, and a shadow was seen floating out of Jiang Li's body and falling gently to the ground.
The gloomy wind moved like a dragon and snake in the house, but it didn't feel cold or gloomy at all. It felt like a spring breeze blowing, even with a hint of warmth.
"As expected of Qilinzi, who has been imbued with the literary energy of literary saints and hundreds of sages. The Yin soul has not been exposed to thunder, but it already contains business and Yang energy. He is simply the nemesis of the Yin souls in the same realm!"
The big black dog poked its head out from under the bed and stuck out its tongue. Rich envy almost jumped out of the dog's eyes. "The last time I saw this guy, he was just in an out-of-body state. Now he can already fall asleep. I I remember that you seemed to have practiced the Eight Sutras once, and you are really better at throwing than a human!"
