Chapter 8 Sword Arhat comes out of the Heavenly Punishment Pond
In the wilderness, on a mountain road, a carriage was intercepted. More than a dozen robbers were armed with knives and were murderous.
Suddenly a man came running up on horseback and shouted loudly: "Little robber, don't be so presumptuous as to watch your knife."
The young man who came here jumped up on his horse and fought more than a dozen robbers alone, killing seven and feeling a little exhausted.
The remaining robbers showed no signs of timidity and became even more ruthless, shouting loudly: "Kill."
After killing three more, the young man was finally exhausted. The robber seized the opportunity and took advantage of his unpreparedness, slashing the young man on the back with a knife, knocking him to the ground, and trying to kill him with another knife.
At this time, a sword energy suddenly shot out from the carriage, killing three people in one blow.
The young man escaped death and looked around, seeing a woman walking out of the carriage, delicate and heroic, he said: "Thank you so much for saving my life, heroine."
The woman came closer and said with a smile: "You don't have much ability, but you are very courageous, and you are also too impulsive. What is your name?"
"My name is Mingyuan, what's yours?"
"Lu Xi"
…………
"The Sword Heroes? What a joke. They are vulnerable. Lu Xi can't even protect himself if he comes back with me. How can he protect you? If you don't come with me, I will kill him."
Mingyuan was lying on the ground, bleeding from his body, and Lu Xi stood in front of him.
"Second uncle, no, I'll go back with you and don't hurt him again."
Lu Xi said again: "Mingyuan, protect yourself and stop being impulsive."
"Lu Xi, Lu Xi..."
Watching the person walk away helplessly, Ming Yuan felt his own incompetence for the first time, and he cried without disappointment.
…………
"The Lujiazhuang is just ahead. Lu Xi, I'm here to find you. Hey, how could there be a fire somewhere?"
Mingyuan rushed over and saw Lu Xi slumped on the ground.
Lujiazhuang has been destroyed overnight.
Lu Xi cried and blamed herself: "I shouldn't have escaped and wanted to find you. If I were here, I might be able to save them. It's my fault."
At this time, a great monk came up, pinched the Buddha's seal, sent down the rain, and extinguished the fire. He said: "Amitabha, you are destined to be with the Buddha, so you can enter the seat of the poor monk."
"Mingyuan, you and I have no origin in this life, forget me."
Lu Xi became disheartened and fled into Buddhism.
…………
In Pudu Temple, on the top of the mountain, there are willow branches flying and the breeze blows.
Under the willow tree, Wang Mingshi was sleeping deeply. A drop of nectar fell from a willow leaf and fell into his mouth. He woke up leisurely and had a long dream.
Suddenly, a little bit of Buddha's light descended, and in the Buddha's light came the voice of the Buddha: "I have eliminated the evil ghosts in your body. I spread the voice of the Buddha to make you sleep and restore your soul. I dropped nectar to heal your internal organs and remove your serious illness."
Wangmingshi stretched his body, his true energy flow was smoothed, and his internal injuries recovered a lot.
"Internal injuries are not bad, but the root cause is difficult to heal. I just have to live an extra three to five days."
Wangmingshi paused and said, "Do you still want to take revenge?"
Salvation Jingru was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "The cause and effect is not yet resolved, and if the heart is worried, the practice will eventually be lacking."
"Then I will help you resolve the cause and effect."
Wangming left Pudu Temple, spread the news, and returned to the temple. He said: "About a century ago, on Loulang Mountain, I fought with the Sword Arhat. His state was different, as if he was possessed by a demon." p>
Jingru Tao of Salvation: "Sword Arhat practices the Shura Tao, and when he has exhausted his cultivation and entered the Tao, he gains strength, but he needs to fall into the endless cycle once. If he cannot come back, he will fall into the endless reincarnation forever."
"During the Lujiazhuang massacre, had he already fallen into Infernal Affairs?"
The state in which Sword Arhat causes the tragedy will determine the two people's attitudes toward it.
"I don't know."
The two chatted about other things, mostly Wang Mingshi talking about the past.
I have prayed for so long that I will not see you, but now I see you at the moment of my death. I don’t want to leave any regrets anymore, I just want to say everything I want to say.
Saving the world is as pure as listening quietly, and the calm heart actually has ups and downs. If you practice for a long time, you think you have forgotten the past, you think you have made light of everything, but it is still buried deep in your memory.
Just like Wangmingshi, when you are named Wangmingshi, you want to forget everything, but you can still remember it vividly. It is the happiest time in life.
Suddenly, the light of the Buddha dissipated, and the salvation of the world was as pure as leaving. He entered the clouds of the sea of Buddha, meditated, chanted sutras and calmed his mind, recited the sutra of rescuing suffering and rescuing suffering, and pressed the seal of great mercy and compassion with his hands.
Just now, her mind was not calm, her breath was unstable, and her thoughts turned into a sigh.
The next day, there was a letter in return. Wang Mingshi took it and read it: "The news is coming that Sword Arhat broke out of Sin Body Rock and went to the wilderness of Zhuolu."
Salvation Jingru said in shock: "The Sin Body Rock is heavily guarded. The Sword Arhat is locked in the Buddha Yuan. How can he break out?"
"Someone entrusted Shengshi Weiye to issue a mission to rescue Sword Arhat. Twelve people accepted the mission, and only seven people died before they succeeded."
Wang Mingshi is an old man from Wei Ye Zhong in Sheng City. This time he asked for news about Wei Ye Sword Arhat in Sheng City, and someone in charge responded and told him the latest information.
"Shengshi Weiye, what kind of organization is this? I've never heard of it."
"An intermediary organization, a middleman, the employer issues tasks, and others take over the tasks, each getting what he needs."
Salvation Jingru said: "What is Sword Arhat doing in the Wilderness of Zhuolu? Is it related to the seal of Emperor Chi?"
"It should be."
Wangmingshi stood up and said with a smile: "Now that I see you are doing well, I feel relieved. You just have to be your Buddha. I will take care of other causes and effects for you. I'll go."
He looked up to the sky and laughed and left the temple. He raised his knife and asked about the killing.
Wang Mingshi went straight to the wilderness of Zhuolu.
In Pudu Temple, saving the world is like knocking a wooden fish, chanting the Buddha's name loudly, but the Buddha does not respond. "Hey, Mingyuan, Wang Mingshi..."
For a time, the wilderness of Zhuolu was turbulent. The Taimang tribes, the Sword Arhat, the Wangming clan, plus the people of Emperor Xuanyuan who were guarding here, and the men of the three religions.
Many forces and people are involved, and a war is about to break out.
In the Maple Leaf Garden, two days have passed. Jing Xuanhuang stood up and stood quietly holding the Taoist ultimatum, his true energy hidden but not released.
Suddenly, a silver leaf floated towards him, leading the little beast Chenghuang to run towards him. Chenghuang saw Jingxuanhuang and looked familiar, so he ran to his side.
Jing Xuanhuang picked it up and looked at it. It was a little thin and injured. He waved his hand to get rid of the vitality, healed it in a blink of an eye, and put it on his shoulder.
The ginkgo leaf master's spiritual consciousness is placed on the silver leaf, and she said: "I have fulfilled your request, and the little beast will give it to you. I hope you are satisfied."
When Jingxuan Huangdao opened his eyes, he saw the essence of Yinye and found that it was actually a woman. He said: "Thank you very much. If you have trouble next time, I will help you, but remember, don't violate my taboo."
"You're welcome. See you next time, please."
"Please."
Both parties drifted away. Wang Sunbugui wiped the sweat from his forehead. After the mountain was gone, he felt relaxed and could straighten his back.
There is another storm on Laojun Mountain.
Taoist priests such as Taoist priest Mu Zhixuan and Kunrong Taoist priests from Kunlun Mountain came to hear the news and gathered in the Bajing Palace.
Dao Zimu Zhixuan said: "I heard that the Tao ghost has returned to Laojun Mountain. I wonder where he is? I want to apologize to him in person."
Dongwang Taiyi said: "It has been put into the Heavenly Punishment Pond."
"Oh? What crime did you commit? I am willing to be punished on his behalf."
Taoist Kurong said hurriedly: "You can't do it as a Taoist. This is still the crime of a Taoist ghost. How can there be any substitution of punishment?"
All the Taoists in Kunlun Mountain said this. Taozi stretched out his hand and looked at Taiyi, the King of the East, silently.
Dong Wang Taiyi said: "I don't know the crime. Everything will be judged by Daoyou Jing Xuanhuang, the protector of the Tao."
"Can you take me there?"
King Dong thought for a moment and said: "The three-day period is approaching and the day of judgment is coming. Everyone, please follow me."
The Laojun Mountain Tianpu Pond is located on another mountain peak. There are continuous thunders all year round, and thunder and lightning are accumulated in the water at the top of the peak. It is called the Tianpu Pond.
Taiyi, the king of the East, came with Daozi and other Taoists. From a distance, he heard loud laughter. It was Liyuan Taoist and Taoist ghosts talking about the world. When they talked about the origin, they laughed from time to time.
When the Taoist ghost first came to the Bajing Palace, he looked like a beggar. He was used to being slovenly. Taoist Li was dissatisfied, so he personally groomed him and put a Taoist crown on his hair.
Taoist Li Yuan said: "This Taoist robe was given to me by you, senior brother. Now that you are thin, it is just right. I will put it on for you."
"Thank you, junior brother."
When everyone arrived, they saw a man sitting firmly in the Heavenly Punishment Pond. Thunder and lightning struck him from time to time. His face did not change and he was talking and laughing calmly.
When we meet again in another life, Daozi and Daogui have their own thoughts and smile at each other.
The Taoist ghost smiled and said: "What a Taoist. He has been imprisoned for hundreds of years and still does not bend his back. His heart is magnanimous and he can still stand and speak."
Daozi also smiled and said: "Brother Daogui's demeanor is still the same. No matter how he controls ghosts or handles things, he is different from ordinary people."
The two laughed several times.
Immediately, Daozi bent down and said: "Brother Daogui, I'm sorry for what happened back then. I've made you suffer for hundreds of years."
The Taoist ghost waved his hand and said: "I know the cause and effect. The fault is not yours, but one person's fault."
"Who?"
"Brother Ku Rong, where is your senior brother, Taoist Ku Mie?"
Hearing this, Taoist Kurong suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. He replied, "My senior brother once said that he traveled all over the world, but he has not returned yet and has no idea where he is going."
"When?"
Taoist Kurong glanced at Daozi and said: "The day after that incident."
The ghost said: "Oh? Really? What a coincidence. Then who do you think this is?"
I saw only a ghost figure floating out from the Taoist ghost's body. It had a majestic face, full of evil, and a ferocious look. It had harmed many living beings.
The Heavenly Punishment Pond immediately responded, thunder bursts from the sky, and then a bolt of lightning struck straight down, hitting the ghost shadow, eliminating three parts of its ghost energy, and the ghost shadow dimmed, and its true face appeared for a moment.
All the Taoists looked at each other, and they were all shocked. Taoist Ku Rong's expression suddenly changed, and he said sadly: "Brother, Taoist ghost, you must deserve to die for manipulating ghosts."
Taoist Kurong rushed forward instantly and came to the edge of the Heavenly Punishment Pond, hoping to recapture the ghost shadow.
At this time, suddenly a thunder struck down from the sky, coming towards Taoist Ku Rong. Taoist Ku Rong sighed at the power of the thunder, and did not dare to face it directly, so he almost retreated.
There was a voice coming from afar, filled with anger:
