Zhang Ke pondered for a moment, then a green light popped up from his fingertips, and the shadow of a golden jade tree appeared in front of He Qing.
Countless leaves shining with emerald light grow from the golden branches, and strands of green light hang down from the leaves.
He Qing's body trembled after being healed by the 'Gan Lin Formation'. The healing on the surface of his body caused him a lot of pain, waking him up from coma.
He opened his eyes to see, but unexpectedly his eyes had been eroded into two bloody holes.
"Who saved the poor monk?"
There was a faint sound of air leakage.
Zhang Ke felt pity and whispered:
"Nanzong Ruyi is born with one innate energy!"
There was a trace of surprise on He Qing's face. How could he not know Zhang Ke's reputation, not to mention that the two had a close relationship in the past.
"It's Zhenjun Ruyi. I didn't expect to meet here after hundreds of years."
He had no intention of asking anything else at this time, so he listened for a moment and asked:
"Zhenjun, where is the six-armed snake demon?"
Zhang Ke said calmly:
"I have captured you!"
He Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, looked much more relaxed, and murmured to himself:
"That's good, that's good!"
Zhang Ke had many doubts in his heart and asked:
"what on earth is it?
Why were you swallowed by the snake demon?"
He Qing struggled to sit up, his bloody body dripping with blood from time to time. Even if the 'Gan Lin Formation' was restored, it would not help.
The injuries he suffered were too serious.
Zhang Ke took out a 'Baicao Pill', which he exchanged from [All Heavens Star Alliance].
Although it cannot bring the dead back to life, it can still turn flesh into white bones, which is exactly what He Qing is using at this moment.
A magical elixir as green as emerald was poured out of the medicine bottle, and the medicinal gas was steaming like clouds, wrapping the elixir.
Just the faint dispersion of medicinal energy lifted He Qing's spirit.
Seemingly sensing Zhang Ke's intention, He Qing shook his head and said:
"A true king does not need to save a poor monk.
The poor monk's body was soaked with toxins into his bone marrow, and the medicine and stone were of no use anymore."
Zhang Ke was slightly startled and whispered:
"offend!"
With a snap of his fingers, he shot out thirty-six "spiritual probes" to invade He Qing's body for exploration.
The results he could detect couldn't help but make him feel pity.
He Qing's body was like a dye vat at the moment, with countless toxins mixed together to produce dozens of colors.
"How is this going?"
Zhang Ke couldn't help but ask.
He Qing said calmly:
"Three hundred years ago, a few poor monks accidentally released this six-armed snake demon in Fenglong Valley, causing countless human beings to fall into its mouth.
This boundless sin started from a poor monk, and it should be ended by a poor monk.
When a poor monk traveled around the world in the past, he once obtained a folk remedy that could collect dozens of toxins in the heart through a special method without breaking out.
Since seven years ago, the poor monk has swallowed one hundred and three kinds of strange poisons day and night, including 'realgar', 'broken intestine grass', and 'datura flower'.
Until a few months ago, the toxins accumulated in the poor monk's body reached a critical level, and he could no longer bear any trace of toxicity, so he traveled south to this southern region.
Previously, the poor monk deliberately provoked the snake demon, and after being swallowed by it, the poison had completely exploded. At this time, the poor monk was just clinging to life."
Zhang Ke was horrified when he heard this. He could not imagine what kind of perseverance it took to overcome the pain of being attacked by hundreds of poisons.
No need to try, just thinking about it will give you a creepy feeling.
Asking himself, Zhang Ke felt that he might not be able to achieve this level.
This is not only supported by tenacity and hatred, but also a kind of compassion and tolerance.
At this moment, Zhang Ke couldn't help but be in awe of He Qing.
'If I don't go to hell, who will?'
Only with firm and fearless faith can we risk our lives as bait and die happily.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Ke asked again:
"Then who attacked the snake demon?"
He Qing's voice became weaker and weaker.
"When the poor monk entered Qianlong Cave, he saw a monk who was extremely elegant. There were thunder lines looming between his eyebrows. He must be from the 'Leiyin Temple' in the Western Regions.
When the poor monk was in the belly of the snake demon, he felt an infinite and powerful blow on the snake demon's body.
If the person who attacked the snake demon is a Buddhist, he must be someone from the Western Region."
Zhang Ke was filled with admiration and praised:
"I have long heard that Buddhism is compassionate and can not only save all living beings, but also subjugate demons. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation."
He Qing's voice became deeper and deeper.
"Monks from the Western Regions are not trustworthy.
Listening to the meaning of the snake demon's words, it seems that Buddhism in the Western Regions wants to lure the snake demon into Buddhism and prepares to use the occasion of his birthday to wash away the karma from his body.
The true king needs to be more vigilant about Buddhism in the Western Region in the future."
Zhang Ke's heart trembled, and he knew what was going on.
As for why Buddhism in the Western Region suddenly took action against the snake demon, there is no way to know the reason.
Suddenly, Zhang Ke's expression changed, and a golden lotus fell from a distance.
After He Qing warned Zhang Ke softly, he felt burned inside and could no longer hold on, and whispered:
"After the poor monk dies, can you please ask the True Lord to bury his body in the ancient Songshan Temple in Dingzhou?"
Zhang Ke nodded silently.
He Qing seemed to feel Zhang Ke's movements, and his expression became relaxed.
Sit in an upright posture with lotus lotus position, lower your head and recite scriptures in a low voice.
“At the end of one’s life, one’s spiritual consciousness is dim, unable to distinguish between good and evil, and even one’s eyes and ears cannot see or hear.
These family members should make large offerings, read the sutras, and recite the name of the Buddha. Such good conditions can make the deceased escape from the evil ways, and all the devils and gods can all disperse..."
Zhang Ke stood aside and listened quietly to He Qing's recitation of the Ksitigarbha Sutra.
After a moment, He Qing's whole body burned with five-color fire from the inside out. A moment later, his body was reduced to ashes.
Only a round tutu about the size of a thumb was left, a golden relic with a shimmering halo, placed among the ashes.
Zhang Ke solemnly bowed his hand to the place where He Qing was sitting, then reached out to take the relic.
At this moment, a golden thread shot towards Zhang Ke's outstretched right hand as fast as the wind.
"brush--!"
Zhang Ke had already noticed someone approaching, but just ignored him.
At this moment, when he saw this person making a move towards him, he raised his eyebrows, turned his right hand, pinched his index finger with his middle finger, and clamped the golden thread on his fingertips.
Jiu Nan's eyes widened instantly as he tried to stop him.
What he had shot was a Buddhist attack. He would not be surprised if the bearded man used various methods to scatter or block it.
But I never expected that this person would actually capture this Buddhist teaching in the palm of his hand.
Zhang Ke raised his fingers, and countless white hairs were interspersed to block the golden thread lock at his fingertips.
He glanced at it, smiled lightly and said:
“Buddhism’s ‘Dragon-binding Golden Rope’ is a pity that it’s only fur!”
He stretched out his thumb and twisted it slightly, and a golden flower exploded at his fingertips.
Jiu Nan was slightly surprised and shouted in a deep voice:
"Little monk, there are nine difficulties in the 'Leiyin Temple' in the Western Regions. I don't know who the benefactor is?"
Zhang Ke picked up the 'relic' and put it in a sandalwood box.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly noticed a violent vibration of vitality high in the air.
I couldn't help but look up.
I saw ripples rising in all directions above the clouds.
It's like countless raindrops falling on the water.
Immediately afterwards, countless black spots were seen appearing from above the clouds, like swarms of bees, and flying rapidly towards the ground like heavy rain.
'Zerg!'
Zhang Ke's expression instantly became serious.
‘How could the Zerg break through the ‘Hunyuan Heluo Formation’?’
'Has it been lost in the void?'
'What happened in the void?'
When he was in the market before, Zhang Ke was a little strange as to why there were a large number of Zerg limbs in the market.
Originally, he thought it was transported back to the realm from the void as a trophy.
At this time, it seems that there is another mystery in it!
When Zhang Ke was hiding in the Zerg, due to the special nature of the Zerg Hive, he was always at the rear of the Zerg and was not very clear about the void battlefield.
I didn’t know that every few months, in order to reduce the pressure on the ‘Hunyuan Heluo Formation’, the Azure Realm would deliberately allow the Zerg to break into the ‘Meteorite Formation’ to kill insects.
What’s more, I don’t know that a large number of Zerg will luckily pass through the ‘Meteor Array’ and come into the realm.
Seeing Zhang Ke's solemn expression, Jiu Nan was a little confused.
The arrival of the Zerg occurs every few months. Not only practitioners in the Azure Realm, but even three-year-old children know about it.
Why does this big man with a beard look like he doesn't know about this?
Jiu Nan suddenly asked:
"Who is the donor?
Zerg invasion happens every few months, so why is the donor so confused?"
Zhang Ke was slightly startled, then turned to look at Jiu Nan, who had red lips and white teeth and was handsome, and said doubtfully:
"There are Zerg attacks every few months?
what on earth is it?"
Jiu Di was on heightened alert for Zhang Ke and cautiously asked the question for the third time.
"Who is the donor?"
Zhang Ke reached out and touched his face, revealing his original appearance.
Gongshou Road:
"Innate Qi Nanzong is Ruyi and polite!"
Jiu Nan was shocked, pointed at Zhang Ke and shouted:
"You...are you the innate Qi Zhenjun Ruyi of the Southern Sect?"
Zhang Ke nodded lightly and replied:
"Yes, now we can tell you why there are Zerg entering the realm."
Jiu Nan looked at Zhang Ke in disbelief.
Only if the person in front of me informed him in advance could the Blue World have the opportunity to prepare and avoid a world-destroying catastrophe.
Isn't this person missing? How could he appear here?
After looking Zhang Ke up and down, he said:
"The 'Hunyuan Heluo Formation' in the void is under too much pressure to fight against the Zerg. Every few months, some low-level Zerg will be released into the realm to relieve the pressure."
Only then did Zhang Ke understand the reason.
After Jiu Nan finished speaking, he looked at the Zerg in the sky, which was still far away, and then said:
"True Lord, can you hand over that 'relic' to a young monk?"
Zhang Ke glanced at Jiu Nan with a half-smile.
"Why?"
Jiu Nan explained:
"In Buddhism, a 'relic' can only be born when a high-ranking monk is seated. The junior monk must bring the 'relic' back to the Zen forest for worship."
Zhang Ke shook his head and said:
"This man is acquainted with me. Before he died, he asked me to take him back to the Eastern Region, but he couldn't give it to you."
Jiu Di puzzled and said:
"He is a member of the Buddhist sect. If he accepts offerings in the Zen forest, he may be able to regain his consciousness and become a Buddhist protector in the future.
Wouldn't this be better for him?"
Zhang Ke could see that the monk in front of him was sincere in his heart and indeed had good intentions.
“No one may make decisions against his own will.
How do you know he would want to become a Buddhist protector?
Since his dying wish is to return to the Eastern Region, I will naturally act in accordance with his wishes."
Jiu Nan still wanted to persuade him, but Zhang Ke was impatient to explain further.
He is worried that Mrs. Mi Shen's appearance here will be discovered by others. At this moment, his strength has not been restored, and it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.
He looked up in the air and saw that the Zerg were less than a hundred feet away from the ground.
Among them, a large wave of Zerg descended right towards where he was.
Take a slight breath, run the 'Hunyuan Yiqi' to transform the five elements, and raise your right hand into a fist.
With the naked eye, five colors of vitality could be seen flowing rapidly along his arm towards his fist, and he saw his right hand suddenly open.
“Buzz——!”
The moment his palm opened, five colors of light suddenly exploded.
It's like a brilliant gem with countless facets being held in the palm of your hand and being illuminated by the sun.
In an instant, the sky for miles around was completely covered by the brilliance of the five-colored rays of light.
Great magical power: [Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light]
This was Jiu Nan's first time seeing Zhang Ke take action, and also his first time seeing such a splendid Taoist technique.
Under the illumination of the five-colored rays of light, countless Zerg that were about to fall within a few miles seemed to be cut and broken into slag by countless invisible blades.
After a while, green rain began to fall in a radius of several miles.
After Zhang Ke struck out, he saw a huge boulder embedded in the ground in front of him, and slapped the boulder with his backhand.
A flash of white-gold spiritual light flashed, and a cloud seal rune pattern was shot into the boulder.
【Intimidation】
This is a talisman designed specifically for beasts. It doesn't have much effect, but it can make beasts afraid to approach.
It was the last thing Zhang Ke did for ‘Luojiazhai’.
Then Zhang Ke nodded towards Jiu Nan, turned around and left quickly.
Jiu Nan opened his mouth and did not stop him again, watching helplessly as Zhang Ke left.
He did not ask Zhang Ke about the whereabouts of Madam Mi Shen.
The last place where Madam Mi Shen's aura appeared is here. Since only Zhang Ke was seen but not Madam Mi Shen's whereabouts, it is obvious what her fate will be.
He even suspected that Zhang Ke appeared here just for Madam Mi Shen.
Looking at the green raindrops that are constantly falling in the sky, these are the blood left after the Zerg were strangled.
The difficulty of cutting it in half and strangling it to pieces are completely different.
He had long heard that Lord Ruyi was cruel and ruthless, and at this moment he finally had the most intuitive impression.
With complicated emotions, Jiu Nan returned to the underground palace.
After seeing Zen Master Da Zhang, Jiu Nan lowered his eyes and whispered.
"Master! This disciple is incompetent and did not bring back Madam Mi Shen."
Zen Master Da Zhang has tied up Jiuzhe's body with golden silk in accordance with Buddhist rules.
At this time, Zen Master Da Zhang’s mood had calmed down.
Hearing the words of Jiu Di, Zen Master Da Zhang was startled and felt slightly relieved.
Not catching Madam Mi Shen means that he does not have to make a choice on the balance between the interests of Buddhism and the feelings of his disciples.
"Did he escape?"
Jiu Nan shook his head and said:
"The disciple saw a person at the last place where Madam Mi Shen appeared. It is estimated that this person took Madam Mi Shen away."
Zen Master Da Zhang looked solemn.
"who?"
"Innate Qi, the True Lord of the Southern Sect, Ruyi!"
Zen Master Da Zhang was shocked and asked anxiously:
"How did you meet him?
Why does True Lord Ruyi appear here?"
Hearing that True Monarch Ruyi appeared here, Zen Master Da Zhang couldn't even take care of Madam Mi Shen.
Jiu Nan described the situation he saw in detail.
Zen Master Da Zhang immediately realized something was wrong.
"You mean that True Lord Ruyi killed thousands of Zerg within several miles with a five-color brilliance?"
Jiu Nan nodded and said:
"Exactly, that spell is extremely terrifying."
Zen Master Da Zhang said with some confusion:
"Something is wrong. Zhenjun Ruyi is extremely powerful. How can he cast such a powerful spell when he is just an ordinary Zerg?
And it also left the ground very quickly, which is very strange!”
He pondered for a moment and said:
"What do you think of his strength?"
After thinking about it for a while, Jiu Nan said hesitantly:
"Zhenjun Ruyi's aura seems to be unstable, as if he has just been seriously injured."
Zen Master Da Zhang suddenly had a thought in his mind and murmured:
‘Some time ago, there were many strange phenomena in the world, and it seemed that there were huge changes in the void battlefield.
But now, True Lord Ruyi suddenly appeared here again, and even changed his appearance in a sneaky way.
Could it be...that he was seriously injured?'
This speculation made Zen Master Da Zhang very excited.
Regarding Zhang Ke, the Buddhist sects in the Western Regions know much more in detail than most sects in the Eastern Regions.
The Buddhist great master once said that almost every key node of the rapid development of the Azure Realm over the past hundreds of years is related to True Lord Ruyi.
This person's future achievements are limitless and he has the qualifications of a Taoist king.
'If we can take him back to the Western Regions when he is seriously injured and convert him to Buddhism, perhaps he will be a great help to Buddhism in the future.'
As for whether Zhang Ke is willing to join the embrace of Buddhism, only the powerful can baptize him when he reaches the Western Regions.
Thinking of this, Zen Master Da Zhang's eyes suddenly turned golden.
Two golden light pillars suddenly appeared in the sky above 'Luojiazhai'.
Like a lighthouse, patrolling back and forth within a thousand miles of Luojiazhai.
But the Buddhist ‘eye of heaven’, which can see into the heaven and earth, did not see any trace of Zhang Ke.
Zen Master Da Zhang searched carefully for several minutes before unwillingly closing his eyes that reached the limit.
"Alas! What a pity. I have long heard that this True Lord Ruyi is good at transformation, and today I saw him and his reputation is indeed well-deserved."
Jiu Nan asked doubtfully:
"Master, is this Ruyi Zhenjun important?"
Zen Master Da Zhang shook his head slightly and did not explain much to his disciples.
Jiu Nan has a simple and honest nature, so it is best not to let him know too much about these human schemes.
