"Xiaoqing..."
Sitting on the edge of the quiet river, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh softly in front of the fire.
Xiao Qing was the pain that Chu Feng could never get rid of, but he didn't know that Xiao Qing was no longer the cute Qing Ying in the academy.
She is no longer the little girl who transformed into Qingluan that he was serious about, but has become the daughter of the Immortal Emperor.
I am afraid that Chu Feng and Xiao Qing will rarely see each other again in this life.
He did not expect that the battle in Black Rock City would be smoother than his. He had not seen the shadow of the Great Demon King yet, and Princess Qingyue and others had already ended the battle in the Imperial City.
Even the arrogant Gongsun Yu died under his own sword.
Although this incident is a mystery to Li Xiuyuan, it does not affect his confidence in the duel with the big devil.
The crows around me have calmed down, no longer struggling or roaring.
Instead, he fell asleep in the Buddha's world. He thought about it and prepared to force the crow to memorize a Buddhist sutra every day, just like he had taught Xiaobao on Penglai Island.
Even if it is a cramming method, this guy must integrate a volume of Buddhist scriptures into his own flesh and blood bones to prevent this guy from becoming possessed again in the future.
After all, he had only suppressed the crow at the moment, and it was still too early for it to refine the evil spirit in his body.
Deep in the magic mountain, as silent as the land of death, the oil lamp on the altar was gently swaying like a will-o'-the-wisp.
The dark lake at the foot of the mountain, as the surrounding land regained its vitality, and after a large green grassland appeared on the lakeside, the originally dead lake gradually regained some vitality.
Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting in front of the Youhe River, was using his meager strength to try to repair the incomplete Taoism in this world.
All living things, even at the bottom of this dead lake, there is also a thin bud tip of aquatic plants emerging from the mud.
A terrifying face, trying to blend into the lake.
Unexpectedly, a golden light from the sky sank into the lake, instantly blocking that terrifying face.
I don't know when there was a full moon in the sky, but tonight's moon was not as quiet as before, but had a faint blood color as if it had been splashed with blood.
Looking up at the moon, Li Xiuyuan's face turned cold.
He didn't expect that the blood moon he had seen in the sky of Da Qin would actually appear in the night sky of Shura Heaven, although the moon tonight was not as blood-red.
In front of the altar, the Demon King looked solemn. It wasn't until he saw the blood moon in the sky that he breathed a sigh of relief.
He murmured to himself: "Even though I lost that great formation, I still have this blood moon."
The great devil who is eager to ascend has left countless back-ups for himself, whether they are the generals in the imperial city or Gongsun Yu.
Even the huge magic formation that was broken by Jun Wuyou unintentionally could sacrifice all living beings in the imperial city.
In his opinion, these are just some insignificant mana in the world.
But what can really change everything is the coming extremely gloomy day.
He had successfully dragged the young man down the mountain for a whole day. Now, he only needed to trap the young man by the riverside for one more day, and he would win.
On a very yin day, the yang energy between heaven and earth disappears and the yin energy becomes strong.
After the rain, ghosts flew into the sky, green smoke, dark fire and heartbroken people... He had been waiting for this day for too long.
The young man at the foot of the mountain did not move at the moment, so he quietly sat on the ground, thinking about killing an hour and counting the hours.
Li Xiuyuan ignored the face above the lake and just looked at the fire in front of him, silent.
No one in the entire Shura Realm knew about the existence of the Great Demon King. In this gloomy night, he did not want to move.
He was waiting, waiting for the moment when the light came.
Many years ago, he killed Qin Qianshan with a sword on the top of Taoyuan. He probably pretended to be dead and hid in the ruins, and then wandered all the way to the Demon Realm.
Perhaps from this time on, the prince from Tianfeng City would not hesitate to go into the abyss in order to regain everything he had.
It just so happens that the big devil under the abyss needs a human carrier to escape, so one person and one devil hit it off for their own desires.
After dormant under the abyss for more than ten years, once he was born, he was shocked.
Even the uncle of the Great Chu Emperor, who escaped to the Demon Realm, became the substitute of the Great Demon King.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan looked at the crow snoring beside him and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Looking at the golden light in the divine sea, he murmured: "Bodhisattva, what bad thoughts can a little crow have? I'm watching it."
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan once again thought of Xiao Hei who had left, and couldn't help chatting with Bodhisattva.
For the Bodhisattva, it was just a matter of waving his hand, but for him it was as good as reaching heaven. For the sake of a thought in his heart, he wanted the crow to suffer less.
This guy didn't even take form, so where could he have any bad intentions?
After a while, Ksitigarbha's voice came from the divine sea: "Didn't you already make the right decision? Why did you change your mind in just the blink of an eye?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and replied: "That's not the case. I will continue to teach it to read Buddhist scriptures. If you want to become a human being who can read, just start by reciting Buddhist scriptures."
When Ksitigarbha heard this, he immediately thought of Xiaobao from Penglai in the East China Sea.
Thinking about the little boy's first word that changed his destiny, it actually started from Buddhist scriptures.
Thinking of this, even the Bodhisattva couldn't help but smile.
He replied: "That's a really good idea. If that boy from Donghai didn't practice Buddhism with you, where would he have found his way to immortality?"
Thinking of Xiaobao, Li Xiuyuan thought of Xiaoyue'er.
One is himself teaching the Buddhist scriptures word by word, and teaching archery step by step; while the other is himself and Ah Jue, taking turns carrying the older girl.
Unexpectedly, the two eventually became a couple and went to places they couldn't go...
He stretched out his hand, gently stroked the crow's feathers, and said with a smile, "This guy, like my brother, asks the Bodhisattva to show mercy."
The Bodhisattva did not reject him, but said: "If this guy does something wrong in the future..."
Li Xiuyuan replied: "Can all the monks who enter the Buddhist hall become Buddhas? Bodhisattva, please tell me." Kanshu La
At this moment, he didn't want to guarantee the future of the crow. He thought that the Buddha in the Buddhist hall who had been practicing for thousands of years still had a moment of being possessed by the devil, let alone a crow that had not yet transformed.
Is it possible that because he has fallen into a demon, the master wants to use his sword to slay the demon?
Even the old Taoist priest didn't pay attention to himself. He didn't resolve the evil spirit for himself, but let himself find a way to make the impossible possible.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan said proudly: "Hope is in the world."
Ksitigarbha was silent after hearing this. When it came to reasoning, whether it was reasonable or unreasonable, he rarely seemed to win over the young man in front of him.
Unless the young man doesn't want to reason with him.
After a moment, a faint golden light fell on the crow, and the crow in the dream turned over.
Speaking of a dream saying: "Li Xiuyuan, don't kill me..."
Li Xiuyuan was speechless when he heard the words, and Ksitigarbha was also speechless when he heard the words. He knew that if this little guy hadn't followed Li Xiuyuan wholeheartedly, he wouldn't have had the evil spirit enter his body and become a demon.
After a while, Ksitigarbha in the divine sea said: "Even so, it still wants to practice that Buddhist scripture."
"I promise."
Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "I promise to teach this guy to recite the Buddhist scriptures word for word just like I taught Xiaobao back then."
Jizo thought about the big devil in front of the altar on the mountain, and said with a smile: "Even if I make an exception and take action for this little guy, you need to face the trouble on the mountain yourself."
Li Xiuyuan looked up at the blood moon in the sky and laughed coldly.
Said: "I have seen this thing in the sky of Da Qin back then, and meteorites fell from the sky that night, but so what? As long as I am here, nothing can be changed."
Jizo said calmly: "Since you are here, then complete your mission."
Li Xiuyuan nodded, thinking about what his master told him, and seeing that he had finally managed to get the Bodhisattva to take action, he simply left the two masters alone and whispered a few more words.
Then he spread his hands and said with a smile: "I seem to be running out of time."
Ksitigarbha smiled slightly: "This is a small matter. Once it is settled, everything will be as you wish... From now on, all living beings in this world should be subject to your karma."
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "That's no use. To me, all appearances are false."
Ksitigarbha was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then he tried to say: "Cause and effect, too?"
Li Xiuyuan held the flowers in one hand and said calmly: "When the cause and effect fails, there will be no more cause and effect. Therefore, the cause and effect in my eyes is also false."
The meaning of this sentence is very clear, because if he is not subject to this cause and effect, then it is not cause and effect.
Just like in the Five Realms, no matter how much contribution he made to the Five Realms Dynasty, no matter how much he and Watson repaired a corner of the way of heaven.
As long as he thinks it's not cause and effect, it's not cause and effect.
Ksitigarbha sincerely praised: "As you approach the Buddha and the Tao, you are about to hear the Tao. Congratulations."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the blood moon in the sky with a calm expression, neither sad nor happy... The days of worrying about gains and losses were long gone.
Now that he has set foot on the Magic Mountain and crossed the Youhe River, he has naturally prepared all the means.
Just as Ksitigarbha left, the Buddha waved his hand and gently wiped away the demonic face on the lake at the foot of the mountain, and a golden light fell into the lake.
Suddenly, the lake regained its vitality and became a clear lake, with fish beginning to flow in the water.
Gradually, along with the dead river behind Li Xiuyuan, countless thin black mists rose up at the moment when the great lake came back to life...
Then it turned into phosphorescence all over the sky and slowly flew into the night sky.
A gust of autumn wind blew past, blowing the Buddha's light around Li Xiuyuan to the world behind him.
That night, before the big devil on the mountain rushed down the mountain, the world behind the river below the mountain changed its appearance and became a pure land on earth that the devil could no longer set foot on.
Three feet in front of Li Xiuwu, there was a small world, but behind him, because of the arrival of Ksitigarbha, he returned to the human world from the place of death occupied by demons for thousands of years.
Before that, Li Xiuyuan had destroyed the world of demons under the abyss.
From now on, the demon king on the mountain will no longer be able to set foot in the world behind Li Xiuyuan, a world where green grass is lush and ignores the chilling intention of the autumn wind.
Not even the big devil on the mountain can do it.
For this reason, the aura of heaven and earth where the demon king was in front of Li Xiuyuan and the aura of heaven and earth behind him that had changed their appearance were instantly separated with the Youhe River as the boundary.
If the demon king on the mountain wants to use his boundless demonic energy or evil energy to get his hands on the deep river and the big lake, he will rush into the world of Jizo.
And Ksitigarbha said: "If hell is not empty, I will never become a Buddha. I want to conquer all evil spirits, including this demon king from the abyss in front of me."
The golden light in the night sky suddenly became faint and misty, disappearing into the howling autumn wind.
There was silence.
When Li Xiuyuan fell silent, the world also fell silent.
The faint swastika restraint on the crow on the ground has disappeared. The little guy sleeps peacefully in the world of Buddha tonight.
Naturally, the great demon king in the dark night could not see that the Bodhisattva had ever been to this world, but his expression was a little sad.
Looking at the young man by the fire, he sighed and murmured to himself: "What can you do to me?"
With his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered, Li Xiuyuan, who transformed into Ksitigarbha, replied: "I'll kill you."
