"World Honored One, Senior Brother Long Shetuo is now outside the sky."
Master Zhiyuan returned from heaven together with the World Honored Maharani.
He clasped his palms to Maharani and said, "This disciple contacted Senior Brother Long Shetuo, but he said that he was ashamed of the Buddha and did not dare to enter the Yanhuang Realm easily."
In Xiniuhezhou Pure Land Buddhist Kingdom, in addition to the World Honored Maharani, there were originally eight eminent monks in the fourteenth realm, and they were also called the Eight Great Monks.
Today, Master Miaokunluo, Master Jiashu, Master Shuming, Master Chengmo, Master Baohua, and Zen Master Ye Jing have all fallen because of Chang'an City.
Now, only Master Zhiyuan and Long Shetuo are left.
Previously, Master Zhiyuan left the Yanhuang Realm with the World Honored Maharani and went to the outer world, and now they have returned together.
Long Shetuo had already left Yanhuang Realm to travel in his early years.
After receiving the urgent contact from Xiniu Hezhou, this eminent monk in the 14th realm also rushed back, but he hesitated and stayed in the void of the universe beyond Yanhuang, lingering around.
After getting in touch with him, Master Zhiyuan immediately reported to the World Honored One: "Senior Brother Long Shetuo caused the disaster. Although he was not injured, he was attacked by external demons, which caused internal demons to arise in his heart. He is now struggling to hold on, and cannot
As for losing his mind and going on a killing spree."
Speaking of this, Master Zhiyuan sighed softly: "Senior brother is worried that if he really takes the killing prohibition, he will be completely unable to suppress the evil thoughts and murderous intentions in his heart. At that time, he may not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and may harm my Buddhist disciples."
After hearing this, the World-Honored One looked calm: "It's okay, just ask him to come see me."
Master Zhiyuan put his palms together and saluted: "Yes, World Honored One."
He said goodbye to the Lord Maharani and then flew out of the Yanhuang Realm.
The World Honored One turned his head and looked towards the east.
The pressure on people there is increasing.
The World Honored One stood on the sea and remained silent.
After a long time, Master Zhiyuan returned.
The person who came to the World Honored One with him was another middle-aged monk.
However, despite being a monk, his current situation is extremely strange.
Half of his body is covered with cassock, his treasure appearance is solemn, and Buddha's light emerges.
The other half of the body was completely black, as if infected by thick ink.
In the darkness, crazy roars could be heard from time to time, as if there were endless evil spirits hiding in them.
The bloody and violent murderous intent immediately washed away the Buddha's light and peaceful meaning on the other half of his body.
The monk is none other than Longsheduo, one of the eight great monks of the Xiniu Hezhou Pure Land Buddhist Kingdom. He has always been known for his wisdom and kindness.
But now, half of the monk's facial expression was covered by darkness, and it was full of ferociousness.
"See...World Honored One..."
Longshetra took some pains to do namasha to the Lord Maharani.
With such a gesture of clasping his palms together, one side of his hands was dark and the other was glazed. The Buddha's light collided fiercely with the darkness like thick ink, and it looked like he was beating himself up.
The World-Honored One looked at the other person with a compassionate look on his face: "How long has it been?"
Long Shetuo sighed: "It's been a while."
The World-Honored One asked: "Why don't you go to Cihang Pure Land and find Bodhisattva to resolve it?"
"Half of the disciple's body has been eroded by external demons, and he can't help himself." Long Shetuo showed a forced smile on his face: "The evil demons are not completely devoid of spirituality. They know that Cihang Pure Land is the end of 'em', so they resist going there.
, it’s not easy for my disciples to keep the spiritual platform clear, and I really can’t defeat it.”
The World-Honored One nodded: "It is indeed spiritual."
Right in front of him, Longshetuo looked increasingly troubled.
The darkness that occupies half of his body seems to have a life of its own. At this moment, he is like a frightened beast, restless.
Long Shetuo was so involved by "it" that he wanted to turn around and run away.
But after noticing the movements of this external demon, Long Shetuo felt happy in his heart.
Just like he was afraid of going to Cihang Pure Land, this evil demon was also afraid now.
The source of his fear was the Lord Maharani in front of him.
"World Honored One, have you cultivated the golden body of Arhat?" The half of Longshetuo's face that was still intact showed a joyful expression.
"My Buddha is compassionate." The World-Honored One nodded and stretched out a hand.
His palms turned into pure gold and pressed on half of Long Shetuo's body.
Those thick ink-like darkness suddenly took on a boiling scene.
But Long Shetuo felt relieved.
The evil spirits were firmly suppressed by the Blessed One and began to be exorcised from him gradually.
"There should be such a spiritual foundation." The World-Honored One looked as usual: "It's like a demon practicing extraordinary transformations."
Master Zhiyuan and Long Shetuo both looked serious.
The so-called "celestial demons" are existences that are beyond the peak of the true form of demons.
In the history of Yanhuang Realm, there has never been a demon, so this concept is relatively unfamiliar to most people.
Xiniu Hezhou Buddhist Pure Land and Tianwai Cihang Pure Land are closely connected, so I have some understanding of related aspects.
Outside the world, there is also a flourishing inheritance of demonic ways.
In their descriptions, the first nine realms of the demonic path can be summarized as human demons.
The five realms of the true body of the devil are earth demons.
Above human demons and earth demons, there are heavenly demons.
He is a world-proud demon lord who can be ranked alongside the Buddhist masters and Taoists.
The fifteenth realm, above the peak of the true form of the devil, is customarily called the formless demon, which competes with the Buddhist arhat and the Taoist heavenly king.
When Long Shetuo traveled to the outer world, he accidentally touched the relics of a demon who practiced Qiongqi, and was corrupted by him.
Thanks to his deep foundation in Buddhism and being at the pinnacle of the Dharmakaya and the immeasurable realm, he was able to persevere until he was saved.
Otherwise, he would have been transformed into a clone by that demon.
This is also thanks to the fact that he did not know about the improvement of Maharaja's cultivation level.
Otherwise, the demonic thoughts that erode him will most likely want to avoid the Cihang Pure Land and refuse to return to the Yanhuang Realm.
But now, it is delivered directly to your door.
"This demon has a good level of cultivation, but I'm not sure I can defeat him."
Maharani said: "But right now it is just a demonic thought, which is not significant."
The darkness in front of him suddenly distorted, and then a cold face emerged from it.
This face looked at Maharaja coldly.
Maharani said: "On behalf of Cihang Bodhisattva, I send my greetings to the benefactor. We have always had no disputes with the world, and we do not interfere with the wells and rivers of the benefactor. I also ask the benefactor to be merciful and not to embarrass my Buddhist disciples who accidentally touched the demon left by the benefactor.
It’s really unintentional to think about it.”
The dark face stared at Maharani for a long time and then disappeared.
The darkness that entangled Long Shetuo also dissipated.
Long Shetuo and Master Zhiyuan beside him all breathed a sigh of relief.
Maharoni frowned slightly: "This devil's cultivation level is higher than previously expected."
Master Zhiyuan said: "Fortunately, he has some concerns about Bodhisattva."
Maharani shook his head gently: "Bodhisattva does not like disputes, so we should not cause her more trouble."
Longshetuo looked pale and weak: "World Honored One, what does the Bodhisattva say about Chang'an City here?"
Although the evil spirits receded, his vitality was severely damaged, just like an ordinary person suffering from a serious illness.
However, this eminent Buddhist monk who has cultivated immeasurable Dharmakaya has a profound foundation after all.
Just as he was talking, the glazed Buddha light all over his body became strong again, and his face gradually regained its color.
"The Bodhisattva is meditating, and the fear will not leave the Pure Land of Cihang." Maharani sighed softly: "The conditions of origin and destiny are destroyed, and they all return to the dust. The Bodhisattva has discovered it, but we still can't."
Long Shetuo looked worried: "Then here in the Yanhuang Realm..."
Maharani said: "Forgive me, senior brother, he may bring his disciples to come and help us, but he won't be able to get away in the near future and will not arrive until later."
Long Shetuo said: "I have only heard that Chang'an City is powerful, but I don't know the details. World Honored One, you have cultivated the golden body of Arhat. Is it possible that you are still unable to protect Xiniu Hezhou?"
The master shook his head gently: "Maybe he has the strength to fight, but I'm not sure."
Master Zhiyuan next to him said softly: "Senior brother, I don't know. Previously, the Lord of Chang'an City personally took action. With one blow, the entire Xiniu Hezhou was cut into two halves. The ancestors of the past generations and I have worked hard for many years to unite Xiniu Hezhou.
But in the blink of an eye, they were split by the Lord of Chang'an City."
Long Shetuo took a breath of air: "...It is indeed a strength above the fourteenth level."
No wonder the World Honored Maharani cultivated the golden body of Arhat and also surpassed the fourteenth realm, but still could not easily win.
"In addition to the city lord 'Evil Emperor' Ming Tonghui, there are other masters in Chang'an."
Master Zhiyuan already understood the relevant situation and introduced them one by one to Long Shetuo.
"Where is Lei Han right now?" Long Shetuo pondered after hearing this: "He caused the city of Chang'an to suffer such a big loss. Chang'an can't just let it go, right?"
Master Zhiyuan said: "Of course it is impossible. Sooner or later, there will be a battle between them to truly end the relationship, but we and Lei Han may not be able to cooperate."
Long Shetuo nodded slightly.
Although he had been away from Yanhuang Realm for many years, he knew about Lu Xueyuan's reincarnation as Jinghua and worshiped Buddhism.
"I won't show up for now."
The World Honored One said: "Both sides have left room for each other, and now is not the time for a decisive battle with the Lord of Chang'an City.
But right now, Chang’an City is constantly killing my Buddhist disciples, and they need to be stopped in time, so I’ll help you two.”
Master Zhiyuan and Long Shetuo, who had regained his composure, put their palms together and said, "Yes, I will obey the Buddha's decree."
After the two monks said goodbye to Maharaja, they immediately headed east to gather the remaining Buddhist disciples who were scattered on the deserted sea and fled.
