At this moment, the Arctic Circle felt that Dui Chan had aged decades! Those steps that were originally high-spirited actually made people feel like they were dying before retreating and advancing!
Immediately afterwards, Dui Chan said in a trembling voice:
"You...why are you here?"
At this time, Dui Chan was standing on the uphill slope of the corner, so he could only be seen in the Arctic Circle.
Due to the obstruction of the rock wall, the other people could not be seen at all, but his voice immediately made most of the space warriors look at him sideways.
"That voice..."
"Who's talking?"
"Why is there an extra person here?"
"No, no! It was Dui Chan who was talking just now!! What happened??"
"Isn't this guy already successful? It's when he should be in high spirits. Why is his voice trembling?"
"No, he is actually retreating. Is he afraid? What happened?"
"Variations are a good thing. If there is a problem on Dui Chan's side, we can also fish in troubled waters."
"..."
Amidst everyone's chaotic speculations, the person who made Dui Chan retreat step by step suddenly appeared.
This man was short in stature, with a swarthy face and an ordinary face. He wore a wrinkled felt hat on his head, but he was smiling and standing on the same spot. He was none other than the abbot of Jinguang Temple:
Ban Zhida!
This short man, who seemed to be able to knock him out of a dozen fights with just one kick, slowly walked forward with a smile.
What's even more exaggerated is that, fearless of heaven and earth, the strong men who toyed with the Daughter Kingdom actually started to retreat with Dui Chan at their fingertips.
When Ban Zhida took one step forward, he even took two steps back. He was so panicked that he stumbled and almost fell down.
In fact, strictly speaking, Dui Chan is not afraid of Ban Zhida. Although the abbot of Jinguang Temple is famous and has a strong background, he cannot overpower the national master of the daughter country!
Yes, Ouyang Nuzhu, who is an expert in ghost ways, is one of the four great masters of the Daughter Kingdom.
What made Dui Chan panic and frightened was the string of rosary beads hanging around Ban Zhida's neck. Although the appearance of this rosary was completely different from the one he was familiar with, the aura emanating from it made him fall in love with it. Heart season!!!
At this time, a message he had received before suddenly appeared in Dui Chan's mind. He heard it from Xie Wen, who was once controlled by him:
"The string of Buddhist prayer beads belonging to Tang Jinchan has now been delivered to the hands of Ban Zhida, the abbot of Jinguang Temple..."
At this time, Dui Chan was still chanting crazily in his heart:
"It's not him, it's not him, it's not him."
However, Ban Zhida did not come alone. At the corner behind him, another figure actually appeared...
Why do we say it is a figure rather than a human figure?
Because what’s coming is not a human, but a huge crawling spider. This spider’s body is colorful, its claws are extremely long, and there are white patches on its back that form the shape of a human face. You can tell from the look that this is a human-faced spider. Spider demon!!
At this time, Ban Zhida smiled and said:
"Xiao Yi'er, thank you for your hard work."
Hearing this sound, Dui Chan suddenly felt like he was out of his mind. He screamed wildly, turned around and ran away!!! But with a confident smile on his face, Ban Zhida continued to lead the spider demons forward slowly, and got up. He didn't seem to care at all about Dui Chan leaving.
As a result, when Dui Chan fled to the huge cave in front of him--the hall where the Yin Dragon usually hangs out--he suddenly stopped and turned around with great difficulty.
Because at this time, Ban Zhida suddenly had an extra painting in his hand!
This painting should be made of unique mulberry paper. This kind of paper is usually used when copying Buddhist scriptures in temples. It is tough and reliable and can last for hundreds of years.
If one looks carefully, one can find that there is a large blank space in the center of the painting, and surrounding the center of the painting are a large group of moving creatures:
Among these creatures are humans, monsters, Taoist priests, and even a strange face appeared in the white air coming out of the steamer at the bun shop next to it. This is what the Buddha called a demon... ...
Below the painting is a lotus platform! The top of the lotus platform is blank, as if the painting is not finished.
However, as far as what is currently displayed in the painting is concerned, it is truly immersive and lifelike. At least there are hundreds of creatures appearing in the painting, and their appearance and description are all lifelike.
The painting method of this painting is also completely different from the popular large splash ink and freehand landscape painting. It is painted in detail with meticulous brushwork:
The stubble on the sideburns, the reflection in each person's chin, and even the wrinkles on the shop sign at the corner of the scroll are all drawn on the silk screen!
After seeing this painting, Dui Chan began to tremble violently all over his body. It was not fear or anger, but a violent tremor that was completely uncontrollable. He gritted his teeth and said loudly:
"I'm not willing to give in, I'm not willing to give in..."
Finally, he howled wildly:
"I! I'm not willing to give in!!!"
By the time he came out, Dui Chan was completely out of control. His whole body was shaking and his eyes were red. However, he was already unsteady and fell directly to the ground next to him.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but at the same time that Duchan fell down, something suddenly appeared in the blank space of the painting held by Ban Zhida!
Or to be more precise, the lotus platform in the painting was originally empty, but lines began to appear slowly on their own, as if there was an invisible paintbrush, using fine brush and small regular script to outline it bit by bit. With.
Soon, a pair of shoes suddenly appeared on the lotus stand in the painting, and the style was quite unique.
The upper part of this kind of shoe, the tip, is made of three pieces of cloth arranged and sewn together, and the upper is sewn with some square holes. Normally, monks in the temple will wear these shoes, and some elderly people also like to wear these shoes. Therefore, they are called Luohan shoes or mango shoes, which means empty of everything.
There is a poem that goes: Bamboo sticks and mango shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? You can live your whole life in the mist and rain, and this is the shoe. Its advantage is that it is light, comfortable and breathable. Ahem, of course, its disadvantage is that it is not warm.
"What are you unwilling to do?"
At this time, a spider demon next to him suddenly said.
The weirdest thing is that this sound clearly came from the mouth of the spider demon, but it was exactly the same as the sound that came from Ban Zhida's mouth before.
Gentle, honest, and a broad-mindedness that embraces everything.
Dui Chan said sarcastically and angrily:
"What else can I say? After years of painstaking planning and painstaking planning, it all came to nothing in just half a quarter of an hour!"
"If I had held on tighter on the way here, if I had been more decisive at that time, I would have walked away by now, with birds flying high in the sky and fish leaping in the sea, how could I have ended up like this."
Ban Zhida showed pity in his eyes, smiled slightly and said:
"How naive, how naive, Xiao Yi'er, don't you understand now? The things you did before and the plans you thought were seamless were actually full of loopholes."
"Among the Taoist Master Yizhen, Xie Huankuang, Xu Wenzhi, Motshasha, Ajiguo and others, your strength at that time might have been able to save ordinary people like Ajiguo and Xu Wenzhi who only cultivated their muscles and bones."
"But Yizhen has been cultivating in Wudang Mountain for seventy years. Every day he insists on going to Guanri Peak with the flock of early birds to practice Qi. If he makes the slightest mistake, he will be shattered into pieces. But you have successfully transformed such a person in one go.
, don’t you have any idea in your heart?”
"Besides, do you know that there was a secret court meeting in the Daughter Kingdom, and the two great national masters both advocated the use of another artifact: the Fire-Condensing Needle? Their reason is very simple. It is just a rumor that the Golden Hoop can restrain you, but the Fire-Condensing Needle is like this
The divine object from the Flame Mountain is the best weapon to essentially restrain you."
"Do you know how much effort I spent trying to get this thing back on track?"
"It seems easy for you to break into the Summer Palace this time, but you don't know that two days ago, the Summer Palace made a defense change and transferred most of the people."
"Not only that, when you invaded the Summer Palace, there were already three waves of messengers asking for help, but they all died on the way. Otherwise, how could you still be here safe and sound?"
This series of rhetorical questions made Dui Chan's lips tremble violently. He stood up and wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a sad smile...
What else could he say, what else could he do?
What I thought was a secret action was actually just a joke in the eyes of others! The behavior I was proud of fighting against fate was just a chess game arranged by others!
At this time, it was very difficult for Dui Chan to even maintain a sitting position, because in that painting, in addition to the pair of mango shoes, there were also calves wearing yellow monk trousers.
At this time, you can clearly see that the surrounding scenery and figures in the original painting are already detailed enough, but the outline of the mango shoes and calf is actually ten times more delicate than the surrounding ones!
If you look carefully, you can clearly see the fluff of the straw rope on the mango shoes, the warp and weft texture of the monk's trousers on the calves, and even the mud and water stains splashed on!
Everyone present was thinking that if this painting was really hand-painted, even if it had to be outlined bit by bit with a carbon pen as thin as a needle, there should be no mistakes in the outline to make it look like this.
Effect.
Among the people, as long as they knew Dui Chan’s background, they were all in an uproar!
Because although the monk in front of him was Ban Zhida, he was clearly speaking in the tone of Tang Jinchan.
------The master Tang Jinchan who has been feeding tigers for many years, and even his skull was refined by monsters into Buddhist treasures!!
"You...you've been using me from the beginning! You actually ended up at this moment from the beginning!"
Dui Chan hissed.
Ban Zhida said seriously:
"You think I'm taking advantage of you and I feel sorry for you?"
"Wrong. I gave you life, taught you the seal of enlightenment, and even taught you the true Dharma of your life: the Jhana Sutra. Did I ask you to do one thing?"
"On the contrary, you repaid kindness with hatred and were ambitious. You wanted to achieve great freedom and achieve the supreme fruit, so when I was going through the tribulation and you had no time to look around, you stole the Hell Demon Bottle and did so many evil things in order to get the Dragon Pearl of Life.
Cultivate a lotus body to make up for your shortcomings as a painting demon!"
Dui Chan gritted his teeth and said:
"When you drew my original body, you deliberately used damp mulberry paper. Therefore, no matter how high my cultivation level is, my body will decay and I will only have a lifespan of nine years and nine months at most."
"Ants are greedy for life, why can't I just fight for a chance of survival?"
"Resign yourself to your fate." A spider demon slowly walked in front of Dui Chan and said in a pitiful tone.
"Hand over the Life Dragon Ball and the Hell Demon Bottle. In this case, when I become enlightened in the future, I can still focus on this relationship to help you regain your life."
Dui Chan smiled sadly and said:
"I understand now, I finally understand now, I am actually just the paper you use to wipe your butt!"
"In order to break the Xuanwu Seven Arrays around Nielong, the only way is to use the attack of ten thousand ghosts. You are unwilling to bear the cause and effect of killing these hundreds of thousands of creatures, so you deliberately revealed to me the existence of the Hell Demon Bottle and the Vijiao gang.
, let me collect these 100,000 wronged souls for you, and also bear this karma."
Another spider demon crawled over and said calmly:
"Yes, it's not just that!"
"Use his mind and supernatural powers to forcefully control this evil dragon to reverse the essence and blood, gather vitality, and forcibly vomit out this life dragon ball. The resentment of this evil dragon will also be gathered on you! This resentment is called the dragon's disgust.
You may not feel it now, but this curse will penetrate deep into your bones and last until your death."
"This dragon's suspicion technique is the same as the karma of the one hundred thousand wronged souls. I don't want to be tainted in the slightest. Otherwise, I wouldn't burn my soul when I drew you. I spent one and two souls on it.
In this painting, otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to grow to where you are now!”
***
After hearing these words, everyone present was stunned, including of course Fang Linyan.
When Fang Linyan was planning to kill Ouyang Nuzhu before, he quietly saw Ban Zhida coming hand in hand with a group of spider demons, and he even knew one of the spider demons, who was an elite in Qiansi Valley.
At that time, it was protecting Bai Sha, and even killed an unlucky space warrior. Unexpectedly, Bai Sha was dead, but it was still alive and kicking!
Immediately afterwards, Fang Linyan felt something was abnormal. How could a high-ranking monk like Ban Zhida get mixed up with a group of spider monsters that eat human beings? The strangest thing was that when he looked carefully, he found that the pace of their movements was maintained.
Consistent.
Ban Zhida steps up his left leg, and the spider demon also steps out his left leg. Ban Zhida steps up his right leg, and the spider demon also steps out his right leg. Ban Zhida stops, and the spider demon also stops!
They walked together, just like walking in goose-step during a military parade!
Not only that, Fang Linyan also found that the "Predatory Fang" he was wearing actually produced bursts of movement. Fang Linyan hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab it, and found that bursts of power came from this legendary weapon, as if it was coming.
Fly away on its own.
Suddenly, a bold idea was born in Fang Linyan's heart...
