As soon as he finished speaking, the old monk threw his head back and fell to the ground, but his body remained as stiff as when he was standing, and he did not even put down the standing palm on his chest.
Everyone was shocked and looked timid.
Xuan Ye opened his eyes, and when he saw this scene, his eyes were already red, and there was only one thought in his mind - kill!
He must kill all these beasts!
An elder took a deep breath and said, "Elder Qu, he is dead, should we retreat?"
Elder Qu also had a chill in his heart. He looked past the old monk's body and looked at Xuan Ye with murderous intent on his face. Thinking of the consequences of returning empty-handed, he said coldly: "Catch the evil spirit!"
The old monk's bones are still cold, but these people are going back on their word.
Xuan Ye burst out laughing, laughing at the ruthlessness of the world, laughing at the old monk's stupidity, and even laughing at his own incompetence.
Suddenly, Lin Feng was startled, and a monk wearing cassocks fell from the sky and stood in front of everyone. It was the abbot of Dayan Temple.
He first looked at the old monk's body, frowned slightly, and then recited a Buddha's name. "Amitabha, since you have promised Junior Brother Yunyou, why do you go back on your word?"
"Another old monk!" Elder Ye said in an impatient tone. He picked up his magic pen and swung it out with a big stroke. The pen was as strong as a knife and it struck the monk's head straight.
"Amitabha." The host raised his palm, and the vast power of the Buddha swung out from his palm, turning Elder Ye into ashes on the spot.
"Half dollar!"
Elder Qu's voice was trembling, and he did not dare to stay for a moment longer, so he left with his disciples angrily.
The host recited another Buddha's name, then picked up the body of the wandering holy monk, and said coldly to Xuan Ye: "Junior brother, I will save you with my life, but don't live up to his kindness, leave!"
Without waiting for an answer, the host flew away and disappeared over the woods.
Xuan Ye looked at the blood on the ground and knelt down silently. Thinking of everything that had happened these days, a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
These tears are not sadness, nor regret, but letting go, awakening, and determination!
He bowed deeply to the two footprints where the old monk stood, then got up and walked out of the valley.
Along the way, the Great Nirvana kept surrounding my heart, and my murderous intention came and went.
Unexpectedly, Elder Qu and others did not go far, and when Xuan Ye came out, they happened to surround him.
Xuan Ye, who was still weak, did not put up any resistance. He was chained to the lute and taken to Fuling Mountain.
Three days later, Xuan Ye came to Fuling Mountain and was thrown into the dungeon.
Along the way, he felt groggy. Only by meditating on the Great Nirvana could his mind become clearer.
At nightfall, the dungeon door opened, and a timid woman was taken into the prison.
Mo Rufeng looked at Xuan Ye, who looked calm, and asked the woman coldly: "Is it him?"
After Liu Yaer carefully identified it, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground and crawled out like crazy, shouting something. The result was self-evident.
Mo Rufeng stared at Xuan Ye with cold eyes. There was no wave in the other person's face, and there was not even a trace of evil spirit. It was so quiet that he seemed to be seeing a deep pool, and he couldn't help but look away voluntarily.
This was the first time he encountered such a strange thing, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
However, there are three trials tomorrow, as long as the wrong person is not arrested.
Mo Rufeng swept towards Xuan Ye again, but the other party had already turned his back, so he could only snort and turn around to walk out of the dungeon.
The moon was passing high in the sky, Xuan Ye was looking at the moonlight through the window bars, and the totem on his arm suddenly lit up.
Gu Meier appeared, but she looked a little haggard.
The Buddha's light was shining all over Chonglin Mountain, and she had been reading Buddhist scriptures for days, causing her to suffer from burning pain. It was only now that she could show her physical form.
She looked at Xuan Ye, who was like an old monk in trance, and felt an indescribable strangeness in her heart. "Sayoko, are you okay?"
Xuan Ye suddenly came back to his senses. Seeing Gu Meier's haggard appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed. He caressed her face very naturally. "Mei'er, I've made you suffer."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'll help you escape now."
Xuan Ye shook his head and looked at the moonlight again. He seemed to have a feeling that tonight was the time to open the door.
"You are in a very dangerous situation now. While I still have the strength, if I don't take action... I'm afraid..." Gu Meier was a little anxious. She still can't let go of what happened at Gu Jingshan.
She didn't want to experience the powerlessness and indescribable panic she felt at that time again.
Seeing the difference in Gu Meier's expression, Xuan Ye suddenly realized that she looked more and more like a human being, instead of the demon without any warmth when he first met her.
For the first time, he felt a throbbing in his heart and gently held her in his arms.
It was a transaction between them, there was no so-called emotion.
But this time, perhaps because he felt Gu Meier's panic, his heart resonated with her.
"Believe me, I won't worry you like last time." Xuan Ye whispered, caressing Gu Meier's hair, then gently let go, and looked at the moonlight again.
Unknowingly, he fell asleep.
There were clouds and mist in the dream, but when I smelled it carefully, I realized it was the aroma of wine.
"Donor, you are here." The old monk changed into clean clothes, ate meat and drank wine.
"Master!" Xuan Ye's eyes turned red, his body trembled slightly, and he bowed.
"Hey, the poor monk is used to being at ease and doesn't have so many customs. Besides, this is your karma and the poor monk's karma. There is no need to blame yourself!"
Seeing that the old monk was happier than usual, Xuan Ye couldn't help but ask: "Master, what are you..."
"Ah~" The old monk reacted, waved his hands, and the meat and wine disappeared.
The surrounding scenery changed suddenly and appeared ten thousand meters above the sky.
He stood in front of the moon, with his hands behind his back, and his face became calm. "Life and death are just definitions, not results. Although the poor monk died, he proved the Tao through death. Although there is no self in heaven and earth, I travel between heaven and earth! Donor, what about you?
"
The sound was ethereal, echoing around the world, like a drum beating into Xuan Ye's heart.
He suddenly came to his senses, and the ancient door appeared in front of him again.
The originally blurry door became clear. It was a green and old jade door, with strange totems carved on the door, which looked like dragons but not dragons.
There is no keyhole on the door, but there is an ancient animal door knocker, which was not there when we first saw it.
He knocked the knocker lightly, and the door slowly opened. Dazzling white light came into his eyes, and he found that the person was already kneeling in a square.
In front of him was a semicircular high platform, with three elegantly dressed people sitting on the top, one of whom he had seen last night.
Below, there were dozens of old men sitting, and Elder Qu who had captured him was among them.
"More than a hundred lives in our three sects were all lost at your hands, can you admit it?"
The speaker's voice was like a loud bell, and his tone was cold and sharp. Seeing that Xuan Ye didn't answer, he read it again. "My three sects..."
"Stop reading, the evidence is conclusive, there is nothing to argue with. Go to the execution platform and burn your body with thunder!" Mo Rufeng said coldly.
Xuan Ye was dragged away by a big man and looked at the people from the sect surrounding the square.
Everyone was laughing and pointing at him, but everything seemed very slow, and even his thinking became very slow.
He was taken to a stone platform dozens of meters high and his limbs were tied to a huge iron pillar.
The cold wind blew across his face, and the sky and earth in the distance were vast, just like his mood at the moment.
People were crowded under the stone platform. Seeing Xuan Ye's calm look, they couldn't help but cursed.
"He is indeed a demon, and he refuses to repent even before he dies!"
"That's an evil ghost who killed more than a hundred people. Otherwise, why would he use the punishment method of thunder?"
"Oh, he should be chopped into a mummy to sacrifice the soul of the dead hero! Kill the evil!"
When one person raised his voice, hundreds of people shouted, "Zhu Xie! Zhu Xie!"
…
The three elders walked up to the other three lower stone platforms amid the shouts, each holding a purple gourd in their hands.
They recited the magic formula silently, the gourd burst into light patterns, and a "rumbling" sound came from inside.
As the magic formula became more and more dense, three rays of purple light flew out from the gourd and shot straight into the sky.
In an instant, the dark wind blew, and the color of the sky and the earth changed.
A dark cloud shrouded Xuan Ye's head, and electric snakes emerged from the clouds from time to time, spitting out shrill snake messages.
"Zhu Xie! Zhu Xie!"
Everyone was still shouting, and the thunder kept ringing in their ears.
Xuan Ye has never had the feeling of emptiness and clarity at this moment. It is not enlightenment, not clarity, but silence.
Everything returns to being, everything returns to nothing.
To kill or not to kill!
With a "boom" sound, the purple sky thunder roared with brilliant power, consuming the sky and shaking the earth.
In an instant, a dazzling white light came from the dark clouds, and the frightening dragon emerged from the clouds, roaring loudly, with purple lightning flashing all over its body, and it penetrated the heaven and earth with the power of tearing the heaven and the earth apart.
"boom--"
The mad dragon landed on the stone platform, with lightning radiating in all directions, and the light was like daylight.
Xuan Ye felt like his whole body was in a state of ulceration, with electric rays constantly burning through his flesh.
In an instant, the pain came like a tide, but each wave overwhelmed him.
He meditated on the Great Nirvana and saw the green jade door again.
The moment he pushed it away, the calm demon blood in his body rioted again, fighting against the thunder and lightning.
Destruction and rebirth were constantly taking place in the young man's body. In just a few breaths, he felt that he had finally survived the ordeal after countless years.
At this moment, Xuan Ye realized.
Perhaps when he saw the old monk again, he would have already enlightened!
There are differences in the intention to kill, one is thinking about Buddha, the other is thinking about demons, the other is thinking about the destruction of all living beings, and the other is thinking about passing away. What you kill are not people, but the karma in your heart!
This is the great annihilation——
In an instant, demon blood surged and swallowed up Zi Lei.
In the stands, the three sect leaders realized that something was wrong. Not only were the people on the stone platform not dead, but their auras were getting stronger.
But in the blink of an eye, he broke through the late stage of transformation and entered the early stage of Hunling. However, this aura is still rising!
The three of them looked at each other in disbelief!
There are people in the world who can not only withstand the power of thunder, but also have their cultivation level skyrocketed at the same time? How absurd is this!
Seeing that his aura was about to break through the early stage of Hunling, Mo Rufeng, the leader of Bi Ling Sect, finally couldn't help but stand up with an impatient expression. "Two sect masters, if you don't take action now, we will wait until later!"
The words woke up the dreamer. Both Shi Chong and Dongfang Sheng were still immersed in inner panic. When they woke up, they found cold sweat on their backs.
It took them decades of practice to break through the realm, but that young man broke through it in one fell swoop like a monster!
It was disbelief at first, but now it has turned into violence!
"Do it, we can't let him live!" Mo Rufeng took the lead and flew out, using his magic pen to throw out several blasts of energy.
Dongfang Sheng and Shi Chong followed closely behind, using their energy to attack the stone platform.
Those sect disciples who still didn't know what was going on saw their sect leader launching an attack. Before they could cheer, they were torn into pieces by the scattered Qi Jin.
Even so, the masters of the three sects can't control much. At this moment, they only have Shitai and the boy who is gradually waking up!
