That glimmer of hope...is it me?
Li Daoxuan was startled and looked at the toad's body in surprise.
There were not many places where he could intervene in this battle, and the old beggar said that the back-up plan he had prepared was a dead move. He really couldn't understand why he became a chance of survival?
The six-syllable mantra of Buddha... he doesn't know how to do it.
"Senior...can you make it clearer?"
Li Daoxuan said to the toad's body.
He knew that the old beggar had been paying attention to the battle in Luoyang. He was born in the Spring and Autumn Period and his origins were very mysterious. On that day, the two of them were competing, but he did not use any real methods.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a thud and a figure fell to the ground in a very embarrassed state.
The old beggar was bleeding from sores all over his body, and even one of his legs was lame. His right eye was all white, and his vision was out of focus, as if he was blind in one eye.
His aura was also very weak, as if he had suffered serious internal injuries. His realm had dropped from the middle stage of Yangshen to the early stage, and he was extremely depressed.
As soon as he saw Li Daoxuan, he pointed at his nose and cursed.
"You brat, the only chance of survival is you. Think carefully, lest I get hurt in vain!"
Even if Li Daoxuan thought about it carefully, he still had no clue.
"Senior, could it be that you... made a miscalculation?"
The old beggar suddenly became furious and said angrily: "Did I make a mistake? Haha, I'm dignified——"
His voice stopped abruptly, and finally he waved his hands in frustration and said: "The old beggar will never make a mistake in his calculations. It's all because of my cheap hands and my mouth. I clearly said it was a good deal, but in the end I couldn't hold back."
"Actually, forget it, but I couldn't help but say it. Now I'm fine, but I'm being punished by heaven again..."
Seeing the certainty in his words and the serious injuries on his body, Li Daoxuan felt that he was not lying to him.
It's just that at this moment, I can't figure out what that glimmer of hope is.
"Senior, you can calculate that glimmer of hope. It shows that the way of divine calculation is unparalleled in the world. I wonder if you can give me more information?"
Li Daoxuan had no choice but to ask for advice.
Although he can also use Ziwei Dou Shu, he does not use this technique often, and he has not practiced it to a high level. The relationship between this battle is too great, and the secret of heaven is so chaotic that he cannot figure it out clearly.
The old beggar was able to calculate that glimmer of hope, which showed that his divine calculation skills were ten or a hundred times better than his own.
The old beggar's head is getting big. He does know more details, but this thing... can't be said!
He only revealed a little bit of such a big secret, but he received such serious backlash. If he told it all, I'm afraid that toad would be his fate.
The heavenly secret must not be leaked, otherwise you will be punished by heaven, and the more important the heavenly secret is leaked, the more serious the heavenly punishment will be.
Therefore, many fortune tellers like to tell half-understood and vague words. Some are pretending to be sophisticated and deliberately deceiving people, and some are really afraid of death!
But if you don't say it...
Boom! !
The Five Elements Mountain shook even more violently. Fortunately, the Tsing Yi Empress and the Old Heavenly Master flew to the top of the mountain at the same time and used the mountain-holding method to stabilize the mountain and prevent Moro from escaping.
But under the mutual struggle, cracks began to appear on this mountain, and it was about to collapse.
The old beggar pointed at Li Daoxuan and cursed: "You, you, you, you can't even think of this. Is your head full of water?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he vomited a mouthful of blood. All his gray hair turned white, the sores on his body became more numerous, and even several teeth fell out.
Li Daoxuan's eyes flashed, and he seemed to understand something. He did not speak, but immediately closed his eyes and began to think carefully.
All the experiences of the past year emerged, and finally combined with the old beggar's secret 'hint', a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes particularly bright.
"Senior, I think I know what it is!"
The old beggar coughed out blood and waved his hands: "Don't ask, don't ask again, just go ahead and do it, or we'll all end up together!"
He slapped himself hard, causing the sores to burst, juices to splash, and a strong stench emitted.
"I learned a lesson from you when I was born on the roadside. It seems I can't have that tongue anymore!"
However, when he looked at the back of Li Daoxuan flying resolutely towards Five Elements Mountain, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Fortunately, this kid is still a little smart and not a fool."
…
Boom!
The Five Elements Mountain is on the verge of shattering, and cracks are spreading.
The empress in blue and the old master looked at each other and could see the regret in each other's eyes.
Even if the hand of Tathagata Buddha is moved, can't it restrain the current Mara?
Both of them have used up a lot of mana. If they continue to fight, they may really be consumed by Moro.
"My Lady in Tsing Yi, please take Taichong and leave first. The old Taoist will stay behind."
The empress in green frowned slightly. She knew this was the best choice at the moment, but she didn't like doing it.
The old master smiled casually and said openly: "I can't live for a few years anyway, old Taoist. It's a good deal to be able to survive for you and Taichong!"
"At worst, old Taoist, I will overcome the disaster now. With the help of the power of thunder, I can stop him for a long time!"
At the critical moment of life and death, the old Heavenly Master was generous and heroic. Although he was more than a hundred years old, he still exuded a heroic spirit, as if he had returned to the glorious days of his youth when he was swordsman and high-spirited.
Qing Yi hesitated to speak, and finally turned into a sigh.
Her emotions made her unwilling to do this, but her reason told her that this was the best choice. She had lived for nearly a thousand years and could become the master of a realm, so she was naturally not an indecisive person.
"good--"
She was about to speak when her eyes suddenly froze and Li Daoxuan's voice came to her ears.
The same goes for Lao Tianshi. After listening to Li Daoxuan's words, he and the Empress in Tsing Yi looked at each other. Without any communication, they both chose to believe him.
boom!
The Five Elements Mountain was completely shattered, rocks flew, the ground cracked and mountains collapsed, and a figure flew out from it, with long hair disheveled, laughing wantonly.
"Tathagata, you really can't do anything to me now!"
"Tathagata, if you have the ability, come down to earth and fight me. This time I will suppress you in the Abi Hell, and you will never be able to stand up again!!"
However, when Moro was laughing, the Tsing Yi Empress and the Heavenly Master took action decisively.
Countless golden thunder struck down, and the old master held the divine sword, wrapped in the thunder in the sky, and pierced Moro's heart. His eyes were determined and sharp, and he moved forward indomitably.
Moro grabbed the old master with both hands, but was cut off by the falling lotus flowers.
The Queen in Tsing Yi stepped on the Demon Buddha, and immeasurable fairy light burst out. Her six arms used the Mountain Suppressing Technique together, causing the Demon Buddha's body to creak under the pressure, and the golden body tended to be crushed.
Moro still laughed and said: "It's useless. The more you act like this, the faster your mana will be consumed, but I am immortal!"
"Oh, is it so?"
A voice sounded, and Li Daoxuan stepped on the auspicious clouds and came to Moro's side. There was a small jade bottle in his hand, only as high as a finger.
Moro originally dismissed Li Daoxuan, but when he saw the small jade bottle, his nose moved as if he smelled something, and his pupils trembled, showing a look of astonishment.
"You...how could you have this thing?"
"Impossible, the Eight Treasures Merit Pool has dried up a long time ago, how could you have water in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool!!!"
As the embodiment of evil thoughts of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats, Mara is very familiar with Lingshan.
There is a holy pool there called the Eight Merit Pools.
When Buddhist disciples do good deeds in the human world, they will gain the energy of merit and virtue, and then after being refined by the Buddha, they will turn into the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.
This water has the properties of being clear, cool, sweet, soft, moist, peaceful, eliminating hunger, and nourishing the roots. It has endless wonderful uses, so it is also called Buddhist holy water.
After the Buddhas in Lingshan disappeared, the Eight Treasures Merit Pool was dried up. How could Li Daoxuan have this water?
A trace of panic appeared in Moro's heart. He seemed to know what Li Daoxuan wanted to do, and he began to struggle violently, but the Empress in Tsing Yi and the Old Heavenly Master pinned him to the ground.
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and said, "I was not sure at first, but your reaction reassured me."
He pulled out the cork and poured the glass-colored Eight Treasures Merit Pool water into Moro's mouth.
Moro wanted to shut up and stop drinking, but the Empress in Tsing Yi dislocated her jaw with a Flying Immortal Seal, so he could only drink obediently.
Uncertain of the dosage, Li Daoxuan drank the whole bottle of water.
The old beggar deliberately pointed at him and scolded him, saying whether his brain was full of water, but he was quickly counterattacked by the law of heaven. At that time, Li Daoxuan noticed something was wrong.
The other party was obviously hinting, trying to use tactful reminders to reduce the cost of backlash.
Facts have proved that this strategy is very correct. Li Daoxuan analyzed that sentence and believed that the key word should be the word water.
The old beggar may have meant that the glimmer of hope was related to some kind of water in his body.
Li Daoxuan thought it was Xuanming True Water at the time, but he immediately rejected it because Xuanming True Water focused on offense and did not have much effect on the immortal body.
If he had the realm of Water God Gong Gong, it would be a way to freeze Moro with Xuanming True Water for hundreds or thousands of years, but unfortunately his cultivation was still shallow and he could not exert that kind of power.
After rummaging through the Three Realms Gourd, Li Daoxuan finally found the bottle of Eight Treasures Merit Pool water that he had forgotten in the corner.
This was the Heavenly Book reward he received when he killed Zhu Lao Mo among the Five Evil Elders. However, the introduction of the Heavenly Book was very general and vague, and he didn't know what its use was.
At that time, he thought about asking Xuanzang when he saw him, but it turned out that the matter was urgent and he temporarily forgot about it.
"ah!!!"
Moro let out a scream and looked at Li Daoxuan with eyes full of anger and hatred. He really couldn't understand why he was overturned by this guy every time when he was sure of victory.
Is he his nemesis?
The water from the Eight Treasures Merit Pool entered his belly, and black smoke kept rising from Moro's body. He struggled desperately, and his belly sometimes bulged and sometimes shrank, and the half of the demon face on his head began to twist, sometimes compassionate, sometimes ferocious.
After a while, Moro's struggle became smaller and smaller, and the body of the demon Buddha quickly returned to normal. His belly swelled, his long hair disappeared, revealing his bald head, and his black clothes turned into yellow robes.
Rays of golden light shone, shaking the old Heavenly Master and the Empress in Tsing Yi back several feet.
The wounds on San Le's body recovered quickly. He rubbed his big belly and smiled at Li Daoxuan: "Thank you, little friend Li, for letting this poor monk see the light of day again."
"Master Sanle!"
Li Daoxuan showed a hint of joy and asked, "Did the eight treasures of merit wash away Moro's soul?"
Judging from Master Sanle's performance of repelling the Empress and the Heavenly Master just now, he seems to have completely mastered Maitreya's physical body at this moment, and his strength is even higher than that of Moro!
Sanle shook his head and said with a smile: "The Eight Treasures Merit Water has vast Buddha power and merits, but it only temporarily suppresses Moro's soul."
After a pause, he said with a smile: "Let's take advantage of this time to kill me together."
Li Daoxuan: "..."
"Sanle, what are you going to do?"
The empress in green had a cold voice, standing side by side with Li Daoxuan, her hair fluttering, her fairylike appearance, pure and holy.
Sanle's soul is now dominant, but no one can guarantee when Moro will wake up again.
Sanle bowed to Li Daoxuan and said, "My little friend actually has my Buddhist holy water. This is really beyond my expectation. Sure enough, I have a great opportunity with my Buddhism."
Sensing something was wrong in the old Heavenly Master's eyes, Sanle quickly explained: "Originally, I thought that I could subdue Mara by inviting the Buddha's hand, but later I found that it didn't work."
"But this Eight Treasures Merit Water gave me another idea. It has two functions. The first is to suppress evil spirits, and the second is to manifest illusions."
"Representing an illusion?"
Li Daoxuan didn't quite understand.
Sanle smiled slightly, then pointed a finger, and the bright Buddha's light emerged. Everything around him began to become blurry, and even the city of Luoyang gradually faded.
The sound of waves sounded, and the black water stretched as far as the eye could see, vast and boundless, filled with the atmosphere of evil, filth, sadness, anger, etc.
Li Daoxuan looked around in surprise. He didn't notice the fluctuations in the space just now, as if this world filled with black ocean was created by Sanle out of thin air.
He raised his head and found that there was no sun or moon in the sky, only darkness, depressing, cold, dark, and lonely.
Being alone here, as if abandoned outside the world.
Those black waters gave Li Daoxuan a great sense of crisis, as if he would be doomed if he fell into it.
Fortunately, he still has magical powers and can still fly through the clouds.
Opening his eyes, Li Daoxuan looked at the black ocean and saw scenes of human scenes.
The poorly dressed mother placed the infant, deformed child at the door of the Taoist temple, lingered for a long time, looked at it again and again, and finally left in tears.
In a certain ruined temple, a couple ate blackened rice and drank turbid rainwater from a jar, preparing to wait until daybreak to continue searching in the city.
Their only child was lost, and they had lost all their wealth in order to find the child, and they had become beggars.
An elderly woman listened to the heavy rain outside the window and missed her son who went out to do business. There had been no news about him for six years, and many people said he was dead.
But she didn't want to believe it. She had to wait at the entrance of the village every day for a whole day.
…
"Amitabha, it is said in the Lotus Sutra that all sentient beings I see are not in the ocean of suffering."
"Birth, old age, sickness and death, love, hate and separation are the waters of this sea of suffering. The so-called sea of suffering is nothing but suffering in the world."
The figure of Sanle appeared above the Sea of Suffering, with compassionate eyes, the Buddha's light was bright, and the power of Maitreya's golden body was fully unfolded, shining like the sun, making this dark world suddenly have a sun.
