When Long Tan woke up from his deep sleep, he found that he was in a temple. He subconsciously expanded his spiritual consciousness and realized that this was an island.
This should be within the scope of the East China Sea, and this Buddhist temple is probably a lower courtyard of Mahayana Buddhism.
Mahayana Buddhism was suppressed by Taoism in the East and was never able to flourish. However, a large number of monasteries were built on islands in the East China Sea. They served as places of ascetic practice for eminent monks of Mahayana Buddhism and were also the places where monks who broke the precepts were sent to prison.
The ferocious beasts of the aquatic tribe in the East China Sea have gradually become a bit of a climate.
In the next moment, Long Tan felt something in his heart and saw the Namo Nirvana Buddha appearing in front of him.
"You have been in deep sleep for three months——"
Long Tan raised his eyes and saw Shantideva Tathagata's expression as calm as ever, without any disturbance at all.
However, Long could roughly guess how angry the fourth Buddhist man in front of him was at this moment.
"Do you know that one defeat will destroy all the hundreds of thousands of years of planning of our Buddhist sect? Preaching in the Eastern Land is already difficult, and with you, Long Tan, as a laughing stock, it will be difficult for our Buddhist sect to survive in these hundreds of thousands of years."
Try to achieve something."
Hundreds of Buddhist temples in the East China Sea were originally prepared to spread the word to the East. They had been dormant for millions of years waiting for the day when Li Chen was weak. However, with this change, Mahayana Buddhism paid a huge price to gain a firm foothold.
, will loosen again.
Such a perfect opportunity for two great Luo to live in the robbery at the same time, actually slipped away from them——
Long Tan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and knew that his defeat in this battle was really disastrous. It was a huge blow to Mahayana Buddhism.
Even if the Lichen Sect is destroyed next, it will not be Mahayana Buddhism that benefits.
However, he had no intention of worrying. Not only was he not worried, his tense mind actually relaxed. As long as his seriously injured heel and foot were not seen through by Shantideva Tathagata, everything could be undone.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but the expression on Long Tan's face was still solemn, and he sat solemnly: "This is Long Tan's fault, but his magic power is not as good as that of others, so what can I do? No one has ever told me that within Lichen, actually
There is also such a great person as Wen Wen. This person is so talented and has so much magical power that I think he is only inferior to Da Luo."
In short, although he has made mistakes, the crime that really brought the Mahayana Buddhism into disgrace was not his fault, but the wrong information that the Mahayana Buddhism received.
It wasn't that Long Tan didn't work hard enough, but that his opponent's magic power was beyond expectations and he couldn't match it.
The Annihilating Heavenly Buddha opened his eyes, looked at the dragon sandalwood for a moment, and then said without comment: "Do you know what kind of method that man performed?"
"The flow of yin and yang, the cycle of the five elements, the universe can easily turn. It is self-contained and is not subject to external forces. Longtan tried his best, but he was hurt."
Long Tan's brows frowned slightly. This was because he remembered the battle that day, and another wave of inner demons arose in his consciousness.
The shadow and pressure that could not be given to him that day were really beyond his ability to bear. Not only did it directly destroy his foundation relics, but it also almost broke his Taoist heart. It was unforgettable and unforgettable for millions of years.
At this time, my Buddha body was weak, and both Qi and blood were depleted. As soon as I thought about this in my mind, external evils were immediately aroused, and there were even signs of demons entering the body.
Previously, he used Buddhist secrets to enter a state of suspended animation, avoiding the most serious stage of his injuries, saving his soul from the danger of destruction, and also managed to restore some vitality to his body and reunite the relics. But now, what is supposed to come is still coming.
He still has to face it after all. The only way to escape is to drink poison to quench his thirst, making his situation even worse.
Biting the tip of his tongue suddenly, Long Tan managed to wake himself up: "In addition, this person is also good at tolerance and absorption. I don't know how he achieved it. His ability is somewhat like that of Kuntian in the North Ming Dynasty, and the peacock is gluttonous, but
It’s also paradoxical. He also mastered a Hongmeng-level swordsmanship, and after using it, the five elements went into chaos, causing me to be seriously injured after being unable to temper myself.”
"The five elements cycle, can the world change easily?"
The Buddha of Annihilation fell into deep thought, and then said in a quiet voice: "It is indeed him, Cangwu Demon Director Shanhe! No wonder——"
No wonder Shura's inspiration reacted like that after the battle in the Infinite Nether Kingdom. I'm afraid these two people already knew the true identity of the Cangwu Demon Lord.
In fact, at the moment of Long Tan's defeat, he had already made a guess, but he had not confirmed it yet.
"Demon Lord Cangwu? Ren Shanhe? So it's him?"
Longtan also understood it at this moment, and then his eyes became strange: "I'm really ashamed. Longtan has practiced for several times longer than him, but in the end he is no match for him."
How could he not know about the being who had achieved supreme status in just ten thousand years, killed the ancients, and risen like the rising sun, with his prestige spread throughout this realm?
Over the past ten thousand years, this person's popularity in this area has completely surpassed him, and it is impossible to even think about it.
There are many monks who regard him as the next Luo Qingyun and the next Demon Lord that covers the sky.
It's no wonder that he lost to this person. Since this person can kill Taikoo in an instant, it is not difficult to defeat him.
And this time, he had concealed most of his magic power. The truly fundamental method he practiced could not be used in front of others.
Naturally, even if he goes all out, he may not be this person's opponent. Tenhes, lilies? Or a hundred breaths, half a moment? In short, he can't last long.
Thinking of this, Long Tan's face deliberately showed a cold look: "If this is true, this person will be easy to deal with. If he acts like this, isn't he fooling the powers of the heavens? Just do this
If the person's identity is leaked, both Li Chen and Na Weilai will be devastated."
"useless--"
The Buddha of Annihilation shook his head slightly with an indifferent expression, but deep in his eyes, a trace of regret flashed: "This son has already matured, it is a pity."
The reason why the Inspiration God and the Shura Demon Lord pretended not to know Zhuang Wudao's identity was that they did not want to provoke Li Chen for the time being to avoid being plotted by Jue Chenzi and Motian Daxian.
At that time, life changes
The second one is the vast demon lord, who has become more and more powerful, and ordinary means are temporarily useless. The third one is the several great ones in the demon prison, who are gradually becoming one. To take action against this person, Tianqi Rensheng Emperor Jue
I won't sit back and watch.
Once Zhuang Wudao's identity is revealed at this time, the only ones who will be embarrassed are Inspiration Shura and the Yuanshi Demon Lord, who is definitely not the Lichen Sect.
It's hard to say how effective it would be to force these families to turn against each other. However, the Inspired Shura and others will definitely feel resentful towards him.
Juechenzi's character was definitely the first thing he wanted to do to ruin the good deeds of Inspired Shura.
To take a step back, with Haotian's supreme inspiration Emperor Xuanying's "Inspiration Xuanying" power, how could one not know which one is better, a complete quarrel or a mutual confrontation?
It would be better to take advantage of this matter and secretly ask for some benefits and manpower from these families. Presumably, although those three people do not want to openly be enemies with Lichen, they are happy to see the Xuanmen's little ancestral court being robbed.
It's a pity that he couldn't kill this person before he grew up. If he had known this, when Ri Nanmo Sun Moon Lamp Buddha asked for help, he should have invested more money instead of only letting part of his spiritual thoughts
Come, go and die.
"But this is impossible. It must be removed as soon as possible."
Longtan didn't squint his eyes, and mused at this moment: "This person's Chongmingyang Shenlu must have reached an extremely high level. It is said that the several Taoist magical powers that he has mastered are also very suitable for battlefield battles, and only require a hundred thousand Tao soldiers.
We can fight ten times the enemy. With him sitting in charge of Lichen, I'm afraid our plan will be difficult to achieve."
It seems that he is worried about the future plans of Mahayana Buddhism, but in his words, he does not hide his deep murderous intention towards the lawless immortal king.
Shantideva did not take it seriously. Instead, he nodded slightly in agreement: "If there is a chance, I cannot allow this son to continue to exist. I don't know what the purpose of that son Jue Chen is this time."
"The Tathagata clearly sees this, but my disciples also find this strange."
Long Tan was disappointed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face: "It's a little unreasonable that such a chess piece was exposed on its own initiative."
If it were him, he would have been able to endure it until the real attack on Mahayana Buddhism. Although it had severely damaged the reputation of Mahayana Buddhism and made Lichen Xuanmen's little ancestral court more authentic, in fact, in his opinion, this move was more than worth the gain.
. After experiencing the turmoil of the Nine Meridians Dharma Conference, many people involved in this big plan are expected to regret it. The power they need to mobilize will inevitably increase greatly, and the price they have to pay will also exceed expectations.
.
But at least they will not commit the strategy of underestimating the enemy like the ancient ones. Generally speaking, the gains outweigh the losses.
"Although the failure of the Dharma Conference is unexpected, it is not a loss."
Shantideva Tathagata was talking and looking outside the courtyard: "Did you know that the Immortal Lord of the Lawless is actually not far from here?"
A strange light suddenly flashed in Long Tan's eyes. Almost without thinking, he looked in the direction of the East China Sea Dragon Palace.
The reason why that person appeared in the East China Sea was only that one place. And looking at the stars here and calculating the direction, we can know that this lower courtyard should be less than thirty yojanas away from the East China Sea Dragon Palace.
"Li Chen accepted the invitation of the East China Sea Dragon Palace and sent Na Na to help the Dragon Palace defend against the Immortal Palace."
Shantideva Tathagata was also deeply satisfied with Longtan's keen reaction: "This person must be eliminated! But as for the reality of this lawless immortal king, it is still difficult for us, the Mahayana Buddhism, to fathom. If we want to take action, we must be completely sure, so I still
You need to test it out and then make some plans. After you recover from your injuries, I will leave it to Long Tan. How do you deal with it? It can be regarded as paying off the merits."
When he said this, Shantideva Tathagata's gaze also glanced over with deep meaning: "In addition, you also need to understand my doubts. After you were defeated by such helplessness, why did you have to grovel and do such a shameful act?
So what method did you use to subdue you to this point?"
Long Tan's heart sank, knowing that what was supposed to come would come after all. He had expected it from the beginning, and his actions were indeed arousing suspicion. Ordinary people would have doubts, let alone the Nirvana Buddha?
Fortunately, he had already thought of a proper countermeasure before using secret techniques to fake his death this time.
※※※※
Zhuang Wudao stayed in the Donghai Dragon Palace for three more days. On the one hand, he was waiting for the follow-up manpower and Taoist soldiers from the Lichen Sect to arrive, and on the other hand, because Gui Yuanong claimed that he was unable to make the decision and needed to go to Donghai.
The Dragon King asked for instructions.
It was obvious that this person was quite tempted by his proposal, but he was still uneasy and worried that he had other agendas.
Zhuang Wudao didn't care, but these days he stopped practicing Taoism and didn't do his daily homework. He just wandered around the Dragon Palace. Especially the place he observed with the Chongming Eye of the World before.
location.
From time to time, Zhuang Wudao would appear nearby, and then peek in secretly.
He was absolutely unwilling to guard the Dragon Palace anyway. Firstly, he was really not familiar with the structure of the Dragon Palace here, and he needed to avoid suspicion. Secondly, if something was lost in the Dragon Palace in the East Sea, it would be difficult for him, Lichen and others to escape suspicion at that time.
.
And lastly, he came here to collect the power of Zhulong Pupil, not to serve as a caretaker for the East China Sea Dragon Palace.
Without going to the battlefield, how could he possibly achieve victory? The plans in his heart would also be difficult to succeed.
As a result of Zhuang Wudao's random "wandering", in less than a day, Gui Yuannong was already restless and followed him step by step, fearing that he was spying on something or discovering something.
.
Sure enough, only one day passed before the order from the Dragon King of the East China Sea was sent back to the Dragon Palace.
