Chapter 490: Conquer mountains and rivers and clean up the world
The eight-leaf and nine-headed Tathagata of the Great Sun.
The name of the Great Sun Tathagata shocked the three realms.
He is the supreme deity of Buddhism, the highest level of Buddha, and the highest Tathagata respected by Buddhism.
This Buddhist leader who shines so brightly and saves the world is actually dead?
Even though Tie Tang thought about it a thousand times, he still couldn't figure out the reason for a while.
The world is in turmoil, and all sentient beings cannot escape their misfortune, and life and death are just as normal.
But this one is different...
Why did He die?
Feng Chengdao continued to explain: "After the news of the death of the Great Sun Tathagata spread, Master Tianwen, who had intended to protect the master until his death, also received a message from his master and had to rush back to the Great Leiyin Temple."
"Is the holy Buddha of Shi Wuyan Temple more powerful than the Great Sun Tathagata? What is the specific process?"
Tie Tang still can't figure it out.
"The rumors that my disciple learned from the Fang family were that the Tathagata Mahavairocana and the Holy Buddha discussed the Dharma face to face, and then started to demonstrate their respective ways.
Then, in front of all the gods and Buddhas in the Great Leiyin Temple and the Shi Wuyan Temple, the Great Sun Tathagata was beaten to death and passed away on the spot.
The specific process... no one knows."
Tie Tang shook his head repeatedly: "Impossible, impossible. The two Buddhist leaders are at most equal in strength. Even if one of them loses, it is impossible for them to die."
Winning and killing your opponent are definitely two different concepts. What's more, there were so many gods and Buddhas watching the battle at that time, so it was impossible to just sit back and watch.
Feng Chengdao sighed: "This should be a conspiracy hatched by Xianting and Shi Wuyan Temple.
Master Tianpeng once wrote a letter to explain his views.
He believed that since the human king retreated from the Immortal Court, the overlords of the court must have entangled many immortal overlords in the world to join forces to fight against the Immortal Court.
As the leader of the Great Thunder Sound Temple, the Great Sun Tathagata must have been invited, and I am afraid that he was also severely damaged in that battle.
Then he was defeated in the Dharma discussion with the Holy Buddha of Shi Wuyan Temple, and was beaten to death on the spot.
But only Buddhists know the real inside story."
Tie Tang felt deeply sad: "It seems that the turmoil in the world has affected everyone. Even the Buddhist Buddha has passed away. Who in the world can be spared?"
"Nowadays, Shi Wuyan Temple is no longer trusted by the court, and Daleiyin Temple has recently died due to the death of the Great Sun Tathagata, so it rarely takes action.
They must be brewing something secretly, perhaps targeting Shi Wuyan Temple or Xianting.
The most important thing is...
Daleiyin Temple also needs to elect a new Great Sun Tathagata!"
The two major forces of Buddhism have fallen into internal fighting. No matter what the reason is, it is not a good thing for the Shang Dynasty and the earth.
Tie Tang sorted out some cause and effect in an instant, and could only sigh with emotion that the fairy court and the underworld had a deep plan, and it was definitely not a temporary idea.
But he still had some doubts: "What about Taiyi Dao? Daoist disciples spread all over the world, geniuses emerge in large numbers, and there is no worry of civil strife. What are they busy with now?"
Feng Chengdao stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky: "The Taoist sect... is probably blocked by the Immortal Court. There are many immortal overlords in the Immortal Court, all of whom were born in the Taoist sect.
Nowadays, Taiyi Road has one peak, two mansions, thirty-three mountains, and seventy-two caves and heavenly paradise, and there must be constant disputes.
Taoist Master Li Geng left four years ago, and even left Master Tianwen earlier. This shows that the interior of Taiyi Dao is by no means a peaceful place."
Tie Tang's scalp went numb after hearing this.
In the past, the seemingly prosperous earth on earth suppressed the heavens and the earth for eight hundred years. In fact, it was already like a rotten tree that was hollow and fell apart with a single poke.
The eight hundred years of prosperity of the Great Shang Dynasty did not completely resolve all the chaotic disputes three to five thousand years ago.
All this.
They were all suppressed by the Human Emperor who looked down upon the world and swept the world.
Nowadays, the Human Emperor does not appear in the world.
Immortal Court and the underworld only need to use a small plan to stir up all the cause and effect turmoil in the past, and the earth will be destroyed without any attack.
"I think the situation in the imperial court is also the same now. It seems that I can only know all the changes by going to the holy capital to worship songs."
Unexpectedly, Feng Chengdao heard Tie Tang's words and immediately dissuaded him: "Master, you can't go to Chaoge!"
"Why?"
Feng Chengdao quickly explained: "The imperial court has already shrunk its front line, with the holy capital of Chaoge as the center and the twelve capitals as its stronghold. The area under its jurisdiction has been reduced many times.
Many remote and bitter cold places, such as ours in Qingshui County, have basically been abandoned long ago and can only fend for themselves.
Nowadays, no one knows who is in charge of the imperial court. Chaoge, the Holy City, is a must-attack place for both the Immortal Palace and the Underworld.
If you go there rashly, even with the master’s strength, you may not be able to please him, and you may even be in danger of death.”
Tie Hu also followed up and said: "What Cheng Dao said is right. Brother Fang also sent me several letters, asking me to abide by the rules when I can. If I can't, I will find a place to hide in the mountains and wild forests.
It’s best not to go to some big cities, especially Chaoge. Don’t go there.”
"Sir, the current situation... On the contrary, these bitter and cold places like us are safer. The richer the place, the stronger the enemy we face.
I used to say that if the sky falls, the imperial court will hold it up, but now it has really collapsed. There is very little we can do, and we really can only rely on the imperial court."
Tie Long and Tie Niu also tried to dissuade them.
In their view, now that Tie Tang has left the border, Qingshui City can be defended or moved away, and it is no longer hindered by anything.
With Tie Tang's strength, even if he can't defeat the invading enemy, he can still be sure of leaving. Why risk going to some dragon's pool or a tiger's den?
"It is true that the imperial court is holding up the falling sky above its head, but... the imperial court is not a person, nor is it a weapon.
It’s those officials, it’s us, it’s the billions of people in the world who formed this imperial court.
I am also a member of the imperial court, where can I escape to?
The ends of the earth and the ends of the earth only take three days of magical power.
Flee until the great merchants perish, flee until the human world changes owners, or even flee until the day when the human race becomes a slave?"
Tie Tang clenched his fists hard, looked up at the sky, and sighed.
"We... are the masters of the human world. How have we ever seen our master fleeing in panic in his own home?"
Tie Long, Tie Hu and Tie Niu were all silent, slowly lowering their heads. Feng Chengdao understood Tie Tang's meaning and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Disciple swears to follow the master to the death!"
Tie Tang held up Feng Chengdao with both hands, and a trace of memories arose in his eyebrows: "Yuncheng...how is it now?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Feng Chengdao's arms froze.
"Master, Qingshui County...should be the only one left with Qingshui City."
"You stay here to guard, I'll go and come back soon!"
Before the sound disappeared, the four of them had disappeared from sight of Tie Tang.
……
The vast green fields and the noisy dust bring up a trace of history and the fragrance of blood.
Tie Tang turned into golden light, and he performed the Five Elements Escape Technique to perfection, but the scenery he saw along the way chilled him to the bone.
No one survived!
In all the villages and towns along the way, there was not a single breath of living people.
Not even the body is left.
There are ruins everywhere, and the plasma washes the ground like after a heavy rain, covering it with black armor.
An earth-yellow city appeared in front of Tie Tang's eyes. The city wall was badly damaged, and there was a big demon's aura lingering inside.
Relative to the time spent in this world.
Tie Tang didn't stay in Yuncheng for long.
But this place, both for him and for his predecessor, is a place that will be unforgettable for a lifetime.
He put away the golden light, landed lightly, and slowly entered this homeland.
The scenery you see is all black and red. The familiar scenery no longer exists, only dirty, messy and smelly.
The sarcastic and greedy words of some big demons and ghost soldiers are swirling in my ears.
"Can you believe that a living person is here?"
"I'm starving, so I just happened to eat him. He looks very strong."
"Let's make a deal first. His life and longevity belong to us, and his body belongs to you."
"Where does all this nonsense come from? Whoever catches it belongs to whoever catches it."
……
From the ruins of collapsed inns, crumbling shops, and bloody street corners, figures jumped out one after another, like a pack of wolves fighting for prey, or like moths flying into the flame.
Tie Tang walked quietly on the street, following the route in his memory, and came to the county government office, the prison, the arresting hall, and the small courtyard where he first lived for more than a month.
Corpses of great monsters fell on the path he walked, and corpses of yin soldiers and ghost generals were directly evaporated by the yang and yang qi and blood before they even got close to them.
"Even you are broken..." Tie Tang was in the corner of the courtyard, stroking a broken old tree.
I still remember that I just came to this world.
Because he was afraid of exposing his identity, every time a police officer came to report, he would circle around this old tree, patting it once or twice, pretending to be practicing martial arts.
At that time, there would be a confidant named Yuan Hua who would help him with all his affairs while calling him "tou", "tou" flatteringly.
Think carefully.
It was a wonderful time.
It's a pity that Yuan Hua has died long ago and is so cold.
Now this old tree is also broken.
Tie Tang's memories of Yuncheng only feel more and more blurred.
Maybe it’s not the things that fade away, but the people.
"I can't save Yuan Hua, but I can save you. Live well."
Tie Tang gently patted the broken tree trunk, and a drop of blood soaked the rings from his fingertips.
The tender green branches grew rapidly, and the green leaves were regenerated again. From every corner of Yuncheng, the wailing of countless little goblins, ghosts, soldiers and generals came from all corners.
Gurgling green smoke and black fog rose from the city and accumulated over Yuncheng.
A strong wind blew by and the smoke disappeared.
The clear blue sky reappeared, and the clear sea of clouds, with the blazing brilliance of the rising sun, once again shone on the deserted ruins.
Return.
Extremely slow.
Tie Tang put his hands behind his back, like an old man walking in the fields. Wherever he passed, there were no demons or ghost soldiers alive.
The underworld below Qingshui County has already been shaken, and many ghost officials and even ghosts and gods have gathered here.
But when they saw the figure above their heads, they didn't dare to act rashly.
"He's back."
"This is the area under his jurisdiction."
"We have lost a lot of people, what should we do?"
"If you die, you will die. Do you still want to take revenge? We were no match for him ten years ago."
"Report it, there is always someone who can cure him. This is not ten years ago, and being second on the life and death list is nothing."
"Then these territories..."
"You don't want your life? Let him give way first and see who can have the last laugh."
……
I left half an hour ago, but came back two days later.
When Feng Chengdao saw Tie Tang again, he felt that his master's whole body was filled with evil aura, and the fairy charm when he became an immortal seemed to have disappeared.
"Master... my disciple was incompetent and failed to protect his subordinates."
Tie Tang patted his shoulder: "You have done a good job, at least Qingshui City is still here."
"If Master wants to go to Chaoge, then this city..."
Many people in Qingshui City have been taken away by Feng Bingyao, but there are still millions of people who have nowhere to go and can only stay in the city.
"Can Fenglei Mansion's teleportation formation still work?"
Feng Chengdao shook his head: "It has been damaged for a long time. Qingshui City has been attacked several times in the past ten years, and even Master's retreat has been affected."
"Sir, thanks to Enlightenment, every time you are in a desperate situation, you can break through and kill the enemy. Otherwise, this city would have been destroyed." Tiehu explained helpfully.
"No wonder your cultivation is progressing so fast!"
It only took Feng Chengdao ten years to practice from the ancient witchcraft realm to the celestial witchcraft realm. Part of the reason was, of course, that he was originally from the earthly witchcraft realm.
But breaking through from the earthly witchcraft realm to the celestial witchcraft realm is not that simple. Even Tie Tang had to choose to retreat to meditate and polish.
The fact that Feng Chengdao was able to reach this level was somewhat beyond Tie Tang's expectation.
"Every time during a war, my disciple feels that his inner demons are surging and he is unable to suppress his desire to kill. He must have gone astray."
Tie Tang raised his eyebrows and pressed his palm on the center of Feng Chengdao Zifu's eyebrows, searching for his soul.
I saw that his soul was half human and half demon. The most peculiar thing was that the dragon's spine had seventy-two joints, which were densely packed and layered, making it look extremely scary.
A faint demonic aura lingered around the soul, and the half-demon's body was densely covered with black Dao patterns and talismans, reminding Tie Tang of the tattoos on Mo Xinxiang's face.
"You are affected by the Star Sea Demonic Moon Wheel. This magical weapon is beyond your range of strength and is difficult to control. It must be refined slowly, so don't be impatient."
Without this unique magic weapon, Feng Chengdao would not have been able to hold on to Qingshui City for ten years. In order to control a power that exceeds his own, he has to pay some price.
"It's not a big problem. After we go to Jiangdu City, I will teach you the Dream-Returning Heart Sutra. You can use this method to cleanse your own demonic energy and return to the right path."
Tie Long's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Sir, are we going to Jiangdu City?"
"What? You don't want to go?"
"That's not true. My useless disciples are also in Jiangdu City, but if we leave, what will happen to Qingshui City?"
Tie Tang waved his hand and led the four people to fly high into the sky.
"What's so difficult about this?"
"Let's take Qingshui City with us."
He transformed in a sudden change, used the magic of heaven and earth, and transformed his physical body into a body of ten thousand feet, towering like a mountain, standing tall against the sky and the earth.
"Get up!"
Tie Tang transformed into two arms, and each of the four arms inserted into one side of Qingshui City, trying to pull out the entire city.
But it was not successful.
"With my current physical body, I really have the strength to carry a hundred thousand mountains on my shoulders, pick up stars with my hands, and swallow rivers and seas. There is no reason why I can't pull up a city."
"Master, the incomplete formation map is still in the city. I'm afraid we need to put the formation map away first."
"The fragments of the Great Zhou Tianxing Formation? I almost forgot about you."
As the sun and moon floated in Tie Tang's eyes, he saw a roll of animal skin buried under the county government office, like the roots of a ten thousand-year-old tree, criss-crossing, connecting the entire Qingshui City to one place.
He flicked his fingers, as if playing a piece of music, and broken star flags flew out from the city.
During the formation, a total of 365 star flags fell down, but less than 100 were recovered from Tie Tang's hands, and most of them were seriously damaged and could not be used.
"Master, this scroll of formation diagram is amazing. It is by no means as simple as a broken diagram. My disciple has been in control of the formation for so many years and has the deepest impression of it.
This formation has encountered powerful enemies many times, and its base was severely damaged, so it should have been out of operation for a long time.
But even if the formation is broken, it will naturally repair a little after a period of time, re-stimulating part of the power of the formation, which really helps the disciple.
It should be the result of this volume of incomplete pictures!"
When it comes to the research on the Qingshui City Star Formation, no one can surpass Feng Chengdao, not even those who set up the formation.
"The stunning formation, even though it is incomplete, is still the best in the world." Tie Tang looked at the thin roll of animal skin in his palm and felt its power.
"It's a pity that I can't see you in your full power."
Tie Tang put away the remaining scrolls, stretched out his four arms again, and finally uprooted the entire Qingshui City.
Boom! Boom!
The houses in the city swayed, and many people felt inexplicably at ease looking at the familiar faces in the sky that were obscured by clouds and mist.
"The Iron Governor is back!"
"The giant from two days ago was also him."
"We are saved, we don't have to worry anymore."
All kinds of distracting thoughts spread to Tie Tang, making him feel that his causal line began to grow rapidly, and countless small thoughts were sprouting from the sea of consciousness.
"Come into my eyes!"
After Tie Tang pulled up Qingshui City, he stuffed the entire city, along with millions of people, directly into his right eye.
Seeing this scene, Iron Dragon and Iron Niu bared their teeth and couldn't help but cover their right eyes, as if there were flesh thorns in their eyes.
"Master's physical body... is much better than mine. I may be able to absorb half of the population, but I can't accommodate this city."
"I have penetrated all the acupoints all over my body, and I can connect them all. A drop of blood can transform the world of dust. Not to mention a Qingshui City, there are hundreds or thousands of them.
When you become an immortal, you will be as powerful as me!"
"My disciple is afraid that he lacks a lot. So far, he has only opened more than 800 acupoints. It will be difficult to improve."
"So few?"
Tie Tang was a little surprised, but he couldn't see the problem for a while.
"Go to Jiangducheng first, and I'll help you take a look at it sometime!"
The four of them followed Tie Tang's colorful glow and headed towards Jiangdu City.
Without the teleportation array, if you want to go from Qingshui City to Jiangdu City, you can only rely on your own manpower. This is not a short distance.
"Sir, why don't we restrain ourselves, this road... is not peaceful." Tie Niu looked at the mighty glow in the sky and reminded Tie Tang tactfully.
"Heh~"
Tie Tang laughed at himself, his eyes trembling.
Ahead is the endless dark sky, which is the air of death that fills the world.
