Chapter 3 Chapter 2 Puzzle

The old monk didn't answer, just looked at the two children carefully, couldn't help but look at Lin Jingyu a few more times, and thought: "Good talent, but why is his temper so extreme?" At this time Zhang Xiaofan took a step, said: "Hey, who are you, why have I never seen you before?" Caomiao Village is near Qingyun Gate, where Taoism is the most respected, Buddhist disciples are very rare, so Zhang Xiaofan asked this question. The old monk glanced at him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked back: "Little benefactor, your life was at stake just now, you just need to admit defeat, why do you have to hold on so hard, if it wasn't for the old monk, you might have given it away in vain life!"

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a while, he felt that what the old monk said was not unreasonable, but when the matter came to an end, he still couldn't explain why, so he could only stand there in a daze. Lin Jingyu glared at the old monk, pulled Zhang Xiaofan's hand, and said: "Xiaofan, this old monk is weird, let's ignore him." After speaking, he pulled him outside, and the children followed , obviously always follow his lead. Zhang Xiaofan subconsciously also took steps, but after walking out of the temple gate for a while, he couldn't help but look back into the temple, saw the sky was getting dark, he could vaguely see the old monk still standing there, but his face was blurred Cleared up.

※※※ late at night. There was a thunder, the wind swept through the clouds, and the black clouds rolled in the sky. The wind and rain are about to come, and there is a chilling intent. The old monk is still in the grass temple, meditating on the ground.Looking up, Qingyun Mountain in the distance is only hazy, and there is no sound in the surrounding fields, only the strong wind and thunder all over the sky. What a strong wind! A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and the small grass temple standing alone in the wind lit up. At this moment, the old monk was standing at the gate of the temple, with a serious face, looking up at the sky, his brows were getting more and more frown tighter.

In the village to the west, at some point, a puff of black air, as thick as black ink, surged continuously.The old monk stood in the grass temple, staring at the black air. Suddenly, that black air rolled up, spiraled up, and went straight to the outside of the village, heading towards the Caomiao.It's extremely fast, and it's there in a blink of an eye.The old monk's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw that there was a child in it, it was Lin Jingyu whom he had seen during the day. The old monk's face darkened, he didn't hesitate any longer, and seeing how he was making gestures, his emaciated body suddenly rose from the ground and plunged straight into the black air.

From an unknown place in the darkness, came a slightly surprised voice: "Huh?" After a few muffled sounds, the black energy stopped abruptly and hovered over the Caomiao.With Lin Jingyu under his ribs, the old monk slowly fell, but a piece of his cassock had been torn off behind him. With the help of the weak light, Lin Jingyu's eyes were closed tightly, his breathing was steady, and he didn't know if he was asleep or passed out. The old monk didn't let him go, he looked up at the cloud of black air in the air, and said: "Your Excellency has profound Taoism, why do you attack ignorant children, just for fear of losing your identity?"

A hoarse voice came from the black air, saying: "Who are you, dare to meddle in my business?" The old monk didn't answer, but said: "This place is at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, if Qingyun Sect knows that you are doing wrong here, I'm afraid you will have a hard time in the future." The man snorted, with disdain in his words, and said: "What is Qingyun Sect, it depends on the number of people. Don't talk too much, old bald donkey, just give me that child quickly if you know how to look." The old monk folded his palms together and said, "Amitabha, monks are merciful, I will never let this child be murdered by you."

The man said angrily: "You are so bald, you are courting death." Following his words, a crimson aura flashed in the black air that had been circling all along, and in an instant, around the small grass temple, there was a strong wind and ghostly aura. "'Poisoned Blood Banner'!" An angry look suddenly appeared on the old monk's face, "Sinister, you dare to cultivate such an evil thing that has no conscience and harms the world. Today, you will never be spared." The hoarse voice sneered, but he didn't answer, only heard a whistling, the red light flourished, and from the mid-air, there was a stench, and a two-zhang red flag was slowly raised.At this time, the ghost cries became more and more shrill, as if countless resentful spirits were crying at night, and there was also the faint sound of bones cracking, which was shocking to hear.

"Thieves are bald, die!" The man in the black air stopped shouting, and saw a ferocious grimace protruding from the bloody red banner, with three triangles and four eyes, sharp teeth and fangs, and "click, click, click, click" bones At the noise, all four eyes on the ghost's face suddenly opened, and with a "roar", it turned into a solid body, rushed out from the banner, and struck the old monk with an extremely bloody aura. The old monk's face became more angry, knowing that the more powerful the poisonous blood banner is, the more innocent people will be killed during the cultivation process.To achieve the power in front of him, I'm afraid that more than 300 people have to sacrifice the blood of more than 300 people.

This evil person really has no conscience! Seeing that the ghost was about to rush in front of him, the old monk did not let go of the child Lin Jingyu under his side, he only used his left hand holding the jasper rosary to draw a circle in front of his body, making a Buddhist lion seal with one hand, flexing and extending his five fingers, the fingertips faintly It emitted golden light, and in a moment, a golden Dharma wheel appeared in front of him. The golden light was brilliant, and it held against the ghost in mid-air. "Small tricks, let's sell them too..." Before he could finish the word "Nong", his whole body was shaken suddenly, and he felt a foreign object bit his wrist where he was holding the child Lin Jingyu in his right hand, and he felt an itchy feeling Immediately, he walked all over his body, his eyes went dark, and the Dharma wheel in front of him suddenly crumbled.

But at this moment, the ghost in front of him changed strangely again. On the forehead of its four left and right eyes, there were two "clicks, clicks", and another giant blood-red eye opened. Hearing a ghost howl, a bloody red light flashed, and the ghost shattered the golden Dharma wheel, hitting the old monk hard on the chest. The old monk was beaten so that he flew backwards, Lin Jingyu under his ribs also fell to the ground, there were several muffled bangs on the way, probably all his ribs were broken.A moment later, his skinny body hit the wall of the Caomiao, with a "boom", dust flew up, and the entire wall collapsed.

"Hahahahaha..." The man in the black air laughed wildly, extremely proud. The old monk stood up tremblingly, his throat felt hot, and he couldn't help spurting out a mouthful of hot blood, which stained the monk's robe in front of him red.He only felt the golden stars flickering in front of his eyes, his whole body was in severe pain and the tingling feeling was getting closer and closer to his heart. He forced himself to calm down, glanced at Lin Jingyu who was lying unconscious on the ground, and saw a colorful centipede slowly crawling out from the lapel of his clothes. Fork, it looks like it has seven tails.Moreover, each one has its own color, different from each other, and the colors are gorgeous, but there is a bit of horror in the beauty. "'Seven-tailed Centipede'!" The old monk's words sounded like a moan. The blackness on his face became heavier and heavier, and the corners of his mouth continued to bleed. It seemed that it was difficult to hold on, but he still held on and refused to fall down.He looked at the cloud of black air in mid-air, and said: "You put the world's most poisonous thing on that child, and deliberately concealed your strength, and you saw the opportunity to hurt me. Are you aiming at me?" The man in the black air sneered "hehe" and said, "That's right, I came here specifically for you Puzhi bald donkey. If it weren't for that, you wouldn't be easy to deal with because of your Tianyin Temple Buddhist practice. Alright, Now quickly hand over the 'Blood-devouring Orb', and I will give you the antidote for the seven-tailed centipede, and spare you!" Puzhi laughed miserably, and said: "It's no wonder that I still have the word Zhi in my name, I never thought that you would refine this poisonous blood flag evil thing, so there is no reason not to be greedy for blood-devouring beads." He looked serious and said decisively: "If you want I gave you the most vicious thing in this world, but it was a delusion." The man in the black air was furious: "Then you go to see your Buddha." With a flash of red light, the poisonous blood banner waved in the wind, the sound of ghost cries, and the reappearance of a huge ghost, hovering slightly in the air, and rushed towards Puzhi again. Puzhi yelled loudly, his robes were blowing without any wind, and his originally thin body seemed to have grown a lot.When he exerted force with his left hand, he heard a crisp sound, the string of jasper rosary beads had been broken by him, and the dozen or so crystal clear rosary beads did not fall down, but spun continuously, one by one emitting a blue light, floating on Puzhi. In front of him, there was only that one deep purple round bead, but it fell straight down. Puzhi flipped his palms over, grabbed the deep purple bead in his hands, formed the left and right water bottle marks with his hands, opened his eyes wide, and there was a golden light all over his body. Mi, moo!" "'Six-character Great Ming Mantra'." (Note 1) The tone of the man in the black air suddenly became a little more dignified. With the sound of Puzhi's "moo", all the jasper rosary beads shone brightly in an instant, and at the same time, the ghost sacrificed by the evil man rushed to the front, and the bloody air rushed towards his face.But as soon as he came into contact with the jasper green light, he immediately became invisible, unable to move forward, and just froze in mid-air. If so, Puzhi's body shook again, the seven-tailed centipede is the most poisonous thing in the world, and with his hundreds of years of practice, it is still difficult to resist.It's just that on his dark face, there was a faint smile, with a bit of awe. "Hey!" Puzhi shouted loudly, like a lion's roar, the sound shook the whole field, the jasper rosary in front of him was driven by the Buddha's power, and the light became brighter, suddenly a rosary shattered with a "poof", and it turned into a "Buddha" in midair word, rushed forward, and hit the ghost in the face. "Wow... ah!" The ghost howled terribly, and immediately stepped back a few steps, the red light all over his body faded, obviously he was injured.The man in the black air said angrily: "What a bald donkey!" He was about to move, but when he said it, it was too late and then too fast. In a moment, seven or eight rosary beads were pretending to be Buddhist mantras and hitting ghosts.The ghost kept howling, dodged again and again, and acted in fear. When it was hit by the ninth jasper rosary, it finally let out a long howl, its five eyes burst open, its bones cracked, and it fell to the ground with a bang, struggled a few times, and then Stiff and motionless, it slowly turned into blood, with an extremely stench. At the same time, Puzhi let out a "wow", and spurted out a big mouthful of blood, and the color of the blood had turned black. "Ah!" A scream came from the entrance of the Caomiao at the critical moment of the two masters fighting. Both Puzhi and the evil man were taken aback, the black air in the sky moved, Puzhi also looked at the door at the same time, and saw the child Zhang Xiaofan he saw during the day, for some reason, came to the grass temple, stood at the door, staring dumbfounded. Looking at this strange scene in the temple. The person in the black air let out a cold snort, but he didn't see how he moved, the seven-tailed centipede that was originally crawling on Lin Jingyu's body suddenly raised its tail, took advantage of the momentum and flew up, as fast as lightning, and flew towards Zhang Xiaofan. Puzhi raised his eyebrows, pointed with his right hand, and a jasper rosary rushed towards him.The seven-tailed centipede seemed to be psychic, it knew how powerful it was, it didn't dare to resist, with a flick of its tail, it leaped up like wings and plunged into the black air without making a sound. The man in the black air said gloomyly: "Hey, you are indeed worthy of being the four great monks of Tianyin Temple. Under serious injuries, you can break my 'Poisonous Blood Corpse King', but you were hit by the corpse king, and you were hit by the seven-tailed centipede. The poison, how long can it last? You should obediently give me the Blood-devouring Orb." At this moment, even the corners of Puzhi's eyes began to ooze black blood, he laughed miserably, and hissed: "Even if I die here today, I must get rid of you, a monster first." As soon as the words fell, all the jasper rosary beads in front of him lit up at the same time, the person in the air was on guard immediately, suddenly there was a roar, and something flashing blue light crashed into the black air from behind, it was the one that hit the seven-tailed centipede just now The jasper rosary flew for a while in the air, was secretly manipulated by Puzhi, folded behind the black air, and suddenly got into trouble. There was only a roar in the black air, obviously the person was caught off guard, "bang, bang, bang" sounded chaotically, the green light flashed, the black air scattered, and finally scattered in all directions, becoming invisible.A tall and thin man slowly fell from the midair. His whole body was tightly wrapped in a black robe. His appearance and age could not be seen clearly. He had only one pair of eyes, which gleamed fiercely. A long sword was tied behind his back. Puzhi said in a low voice: "Your Excellency is so righteous, why don't you dare to meet people?" A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and he said sharply, "Bald donkey, today I will let you die without a place to bury you!" After finishing speaking, he pulled out the long sword behind his back with a "swipe" with his backhand, only to see that the sword was as clear as autumn water, bright but not glaring, with a faint clear light attached to it. "Good sword." Pu Zhi couldn't help calling out. The man in black let out a low hum, holding the sword formula in his hand, stepping on the seven stars, and walked seven steps in a row, the long sword suddenly pierced the sky, chanting words in his mouth: "Nine Heavens Profound Brake, turned into a divine thunder. Brilliant Tianwei, lead it with the sword! " In a short while, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly churned, the thunder rumbled, and there were lightning flashes on the edge of the black clouds. "'Excalibur Yulei Zhenjue'!" Puzhi's face turned pale as gray in an instant, followed by a kind of surprise, a trace of despair and a little bit of inexplicable fanaticism. "You are actually under the Qingyun sect!" ※※※ Note 1: In the article, Puzhi recited "Yan, Ma, Ni, Ba, Mi, Moo!", that is, the famous "Six-Character Great Ming Mantra", also known as "The Mantra of Guanyin's Inspiration" in Buddhist classics.It is recorded in Buddhist scriptures: This mantra can penetrate the creation of heaven and earth.
