Chapter 698: Use martial arts to enter Zen, use killing to enter Taoism
Things developed just as Lu Feng expected.
After he killed the black wolf and fierce tiger, a new soul body appeared in this space. Although it was still only about the strength of the early stage of the earth soul realm, it was slightly stronger than the black wolf and fierce tiger.
Lu Feng's expression couldn't help but become more solemn. If he continued to consume it like this, he might not be able to sustain his soul power for long.
But right now, there is no formation at all, but the enemy is simply suppressing him with souls that are countless times stronger. This is crushing by pure strength.
It's like an ant being held down tightly!
It is impossible to break through such a desperate situation!
Only fight to the death!
Outside, Ye Fan and Ruoshui have been waiting for more than an hour, and their patience is running out.
"Brother Feng is still motionless, what should I do?"
Ruoshui's crying voice sounded.
As early as more than an hour ago, the two of them sensed Lu Feng's condition outside the bamboo forest and knew that he must have encountered some invisible danger.
Just a moment ago, the two of them felt a trace of blood spilling from the corner of Lu Feng's mouth. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.
Because of this, Ye Fan suppressed the idea of breaking into the bamboo forest. Although he valued justice, he was not stupid. He knew Lu Feng's strength and methods. The latter was trapped like this. If he forced his way in again, , I am afraid that not only will I not be able to save the other party, but I will also be trapped in it.
If you want to save people, you need to use other methods.
Ye Fan glanced at Ruoshui calmly, and said while thinking: "I'm afraid that Lao Lu's trip will be unlucky. We can't help much if we stay here. Let's leave here first and go see what's going on with Mr. Shu." There is no better way."
Pu Xin was stunned. How could the attitude of a person who just wanted to live and die with him change so quickly?
Ruoshui was also stunned, feeling that Ye Fan's expression was indifferent, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and tears could not help but fill his eyes.
"This place is so far away from the Spiritual Prison. Every time I go back and forth... I'm so afraid that Brother Feng won't be able to hold on for that long."
Ye Fan said solemnly: "I will keep someone under my care. You can go back as soon as possible and inform Mr. Shu of the situation here."
While Ruoshui hesitated, he was pushed away from the bamboo forest by Ye Fan.
It wasn't until he sent Ruoshui out of the Qingxiu Zen Sect and watched her leave that the easygoing look on Ye Fan's face gradually faded.
His eyes were filled with frost, his expression was extremely cold, and a decisive smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Ye Fan's patience finally ran out, ensuring that after Ruoshui had left, he had no worries anymore and could give it a try.
"Qingxiu Zen!"
Ye Fan raised his head and looked at the four simple characters at the mountain gate and laughed a few times.
"Since your sect likes to make things difficult for others, then you can't blame me!"
…
Ruoshui, who left Qingxiu Zen Sect, felt like he had lost his soul. He walked alone and confused on the way back. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong in his heart.
"Brother Ye logically doesn't have such a temper."
Ruoshui thought to himself as he thought about Ye Fan's strange behavior, feeling a hint of uneasiness in his heart.
After looking at the rugged circuit, Ruoshui hesitated for half an hour, but finally couldn't let go of the uneasiness in his heart, so he turned around and walked back in the direction of Zen.
And when she returned outside the sect again, she was completely shocked by the scene in front of her.
I saw thick blue and black smoke igniting everywhere inside and outside the Qingxiu Zen Sect. There were many people inside the sect, running back and forth. Each Zen member was holding a three-pointed sword, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Brother Ye!
"The uneasiness in Ruoshui's heart became more and more intense. He already guessed that Ye Fan must have done something, and immediately ran towards the sect.
Because he had left the sect, when he entered the mountain again, Ruoshui was blocked by two Zen monks guarding the mountain.
Although she knew her purpose, the other party still didn't let her go up the mountain.
In desperation, Ruoshui couldn't think too much and used his strength to force his way in.
After running all the way to the square outside the Zen Heart Hall, Ruoshui finally found Ye Fan.
But at this moment, Ye Fan was surrounded by countless Zen people in the center, and a three-point sword was facing him directly.
Standing outside the Zen Heart Hall, the leaders were Hui Wen, Pu Xin and other Zen masters.
"Hurry up and hand over the antidote!" Pu Xin angrily yelled at Ye Fan. Behind her were seventy or eighty weak Zen followers who were affected by the green and black smoke.
The faces of these Zen disciples were all blue and black, and they were all frightened. They were spitting out black and red blood foam from their mouths. Their breaths were extremely weak and they would die at any time.
Ye Fan looked stern and threatened: "Tell Zen Master Zong Hengyi to come out and take my brother out of the bamboo forest. If not, there will be no way for these seventy or eighty Zen members to survive today!"
Pu Xin sternly questioned: "Do you know the consequences of doing this?"
Ye Fan sneered, "I don't know the consequences, but I don't know the consequences of doing this!"
"I can't help but watch my brother die or have his arm broken!"
At this moment, not far behind the Zen Heart Hall, a Zen master wearing black robes slowly walked over.
Many Zen people couldn't help but feel relieved after seeing the figure appear. When they surrounded Ye Fan again, there was no longer much fear on their faces.
"I just came back to the sect, why did I encounter such a lively thing?!"
The figure walked towards him with a bold smile.
After Ye Fan felt the man's majestic temperament and strong physique, his expression became solemn. He felt a different kind of threat from this man, which was far from what Pu Xin, Hui Wen and others had.
That's... murderous intent!
It is said that as a Zen master, he generally does not have thoughts of killing, which is why Ye Fan dares to be unscrupulous, but at this moment he discovered that perhaps he had underestimated the foundation of Zen Buddhism.
How could a power that had been able to stand for so long continue to this day if it only valued peace?
This is also true. Zen Buddhism is actually divided into two schools, the 'Gradual Enlightenment School' and the 'Sudden Enlightenment School'.
Correspondingly, in addition to the Zen Heart Hall and the Compassionate Heart Hall, there is also the "Qingyou Hall". The Zen masters who sit in the Qingyou Hall practice Zen Tao differently from others. They "enter Zen with martial arts and enter the Tao with killing." In suppressing the injustices in the world, eliminating demons and defending the Tao, and supporting justice.
Their practice is not about gradual meditation, but about experiencing the world of mortals and looking for opportunities for enlightenment in the world of mortals.
Therefore, some of the clear rules and precepts of Zen Buddhism have limited binding power on them. What they pursue is spontaneous enlightenment, not rigidly bound by the rules of the world, and everything depends on their own mind.
For them, thoughts of murder are as common as daily life. If they feel that the bottom line of thoughts of murder is met, they will not show any mercy.
"Zen Master Huiwu~"
Hui Wen and others bowed to each other one after another.
Hui Wu walked straight towards Ye Fan, gave the latter a cold look, and slapped him with a palm without any explanation.
Ye Fan felt an extremely powerful aura suddenly enveloped him. Even though he was still holding a poisonous medicine bottle in his hand, he could not make any desperate move at this moment. His whole person seemed to be imprisoned.
Phew~
Under such a huge force, Ye Fan was shocked to the point where his blood surged and blood spurted out. His whole body seemed to be about to fall apart, and he staggered to the ground.
Behind him, several Zen monks wearing dark blue Zen robes with Earth Soul Realm strength came up to him immediately, holding a three-point sword and placing it on Ye Fan's neck, completely subduing him in place.
"Brother Ye~"
Upon seeing this, Ruoshui jumped up from behind the crowd, and immediately came to Ye Fan's body, carefully dragging his palm, instilling spiritual energy into Ye Fan to heal the injury.
This is Zen after all, and the Zen masters who held Ye Fan back had a trace of benevolence in their hearts and did not stop Ruoshui's actions.
"Why are you back!" Ye Fan was startled, with a hint of panic flashing across his face.
Ruoshui pursed her lips and choked, "Brother Ye, you are indeed lying to me again!"
Ye Fan looked embarrassed and smiled bitterly. There was no need for him to say anything more about this scene, Ruoshui understood it clearly.
All the talk about asking for advice, about leaving first, and about staying and taking care of oneself are all empty words.
Ruoshui completely understood that Ye Fan clearly wanted to try to rescue Lu Feng alone. Let her go just to save her.
"Ruoshui is not afraid of death!" Ruoshui's voice was full of seriousness and determination, "If I can be with Brother Ye and Brother Feng, Ruoshui will have no regrets even if he dies."
Hui Wu stepped forward and scolded: "Hurry up and hand over the antidote! Otherwise, the many evil-cleansing methods of Qingyou Palace will fall on you!"
Ye Fan's face turned pale, and he felt a little afraid. Although he didn't know the specific meaning of the many evil-cleansing methods, he knew the power of the Heart Shackles, and understood that this might be just the simplest and most basic of the many evil-cleansing methods in Qingyou Palace. A sort of.
But considering Lu Feng's current situation, Ye Fan had to be tough.
He gritted his teeth and said decisively: "Rescue my brother first! The antidote will be provided immediately, and I can let you handle it!"
Huiwu had just returned from overseas training, so he didn't know the specifics, so he couldn't help but look at Huiwen and the others in confusion.
Hui Wen sighed and said: "One of the people traveling with him entered the Demon Suppressing Forest, looking for the one who can heal the seriously injured soul."
"Devil-Suppressing Forest? Seek medical attention?" Hui Wu's expression condensed, and his face couldn't help but become a little weird.
He came back to his senses and looked at Ye Fan, and said seriously: "The Demon-Suppressing Forest is the forbidden area of our sect. There is no way for mortals to survive there. You should give up. Even if the sect master comes forward, he will definitely not be able to save your companions!"
As he spoke, his attitude softened a lot, "I think you are eager to save your friends, and your original intention is not bad. Please quickly hand over the antidote, which can alleviate your bad fate and save you the punishment of Zen."
The anger on Ye Fan's face became even more intense when he heard this, and he roared: "Is this how your sect seeks fame and reputation? Why do you still ask my brother to die when you know that he will never return to the Demon-Suppressing Forest! It's in vain that my brother still cares about you." Zhaixin Zenmu will escort you to your sect!”
"Who asked him to enter the forest?" Hui Wu's eyes couldn't help but light up after hearing about Zhai Xin Chan Mu, and he felt a little doubtful in his heart.
Logically speaking, this kind of behavior is not something that a Zen master in the sect can do.
Hui Wen whispered a few words.
A flash of embarrassment flashed across Hui Wu's face, "Heng...Hengyi Zen Master let me enter the Demon Suppressing Forest?"
"That's right!" Ye Fan gritted his teeth and said angrily.
The corner of Huiwu's mouth twitched, and he said unnaturally: "Even if that's the case, there must be a reason. Did the person you asked for medical treatment suffer from extremely serious soul injuries? Even Zen Master Hengyi is helpless?"
Ye Fan nodded: "When I broke through to the Heavenly Soul Realm, I was attacked by a sneak attack, and my soul was severely injured, and then fell into silence."
Huiwu let out a long sigh, "That's it. Since Zen Master Hengyi can't cure this kind of injury, then only the man from the Demon-Suppressing Forest can cure it in this world. Your companion must have been there before entering the forest. Once you have made the awakening, why should you blame our sect?"
Ye Fan was dissatisfied and asked: "Who is in the Demon Suppressing Forest? Since your sect is determined to save us, why don't you let that person come forward?"
