Ever since he obtained the Earthly Immortal Legacy Sword Qi, as long as he released the sword Qi, he would be invincible and invincible in every battle, and he would never be able to defeat an enemy with a single move from his sword.
Although he didn't kill him just now, the opponent was able to resist his sword attack.
Although the old man in purple robe seemed to be slightly injured, it was far from life-threatening.
Being accustomed to the invincibility of Buddhist sword energy, Zhou Yi finally encountered a ceiling, which made Zhou Yi feel a little regretful.
Zhou Yizheng was thinking when he suddenly sensed something: "Hey, that's not right..."
That ancient, majestic, and vast invisible power was peeled off from the purple-robed old man and flowed back toward the depths of the Dragon Palace.
Vaguely, it seems that the ancient and vicissitudes of the dragon's roar can be heard, and it goes away with the breath.
‘Didn’t one of his dragons take action just now? Could it be all the dragon soul power hidden in the entire Dragon Palace?’
Zhou Yi understood.
His sword energy is still powerful, and after incorporating Buddhist teachings, it has obviously surpassed the original level of the Earthly Immortal Sword.
At least the Earth Immortal-level old dragon in front of him had to use the Dragon Soul Formation to barely resist this sword.
Before Zhou Yi could speak, the purple-robed old man stepped forward, bowed to Zhou Yi and said, "Xiaolong Aoqin, I have seen the Bodhisattva. You are blind and have offended the Bodhisattva. I hope the Bodhisattva will forgive you. It's all because Xiaolong is busy in retreat to recuperate.
I have never seen the arrival of the Bodhisattva."
"You evil son, what are you still doing? Why don't you kowtow to the Bodhisattva and apologize!"
Following the purple-robed old man's loud shout, the four Dragon Lords trembled and knelt down to worship.
Everyone was shocked, but they did not expect that the only remaining Earth Immortal Ancestor in Dragon Palace would be so respectful to the monk.
After all, with their cultivation and eyesight, they could not detect that the Dragon Palace Patriarch relied on the Dragon Soul Formation to withstand the Buddhist sword energy.
There was also a hint of surprise in Zhou Yi's heart, just because Lao Long's name... sounded so familiar. I really wanted to ask him if he knew Ao Guang.
"Amitabha, Donor Ao, there is no need to be like this. The young monk just wants to ask for an explanation."
Zhou Yi said calmly: "After all, in order to be the notary of your battle, the young monk spent a lot of effort and wasted a lot of time."
At least several days will be spent here.
Ao Qin smiled bitterly and saluted Zhou Yi again: "It's not that Xiaolong is interceding for these evil descendants, but there is a reason for the matter. If not for sudden changes, they would not have made such a move and openly broke the contract."
After a pause, Ao Qin sent a message and said: "But no matter what, it was my Dragon Palace who was at fault first. Please rest assured, Bodhisattva, I and Dragon Palace will do their best to make up for it."
Wouldn't it be over if we had just said compensation?
Zhou Yi secretly thought in his heart, but his face remained indifferent: "The young monk doesn't want anything from you. I asked Ao Chen to pass the message before, and the young monk only needs something that is related to Buddhism."
Ao Qin nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Bodhisattva, Xiaolong is ready. Bodhisattva, please follow Xiaolong."
'Have you already prepared it?'
Zhou Yi looked deeply at Ao Qin and smiled without revealing it.
Those who can get into the realm of earthly immortals are naturally sophisticated and scheming people. If I hadn't slashed the Dragon Palace with my sword angrily and shocked it, how could it be so easy to talk to?
Deep in the Dragon Palace, there is a cave filled with clouds, mist, and fairy lights.
Zhou Yi and Lao Long Aoqin sat opposite each other.
Ao Qin cast a spell and placed several barriers around the cave, blocking out sounds and prying eyes from the outside world.
Then he looked at Zhou Yida with emotion and said: "The Bodhisattva is really low-key. He clearly has a cultivation level that surpasses that of an earthly immortal, but he just pretends to be in the divine realm."
Zhou Yi smiled and said nothing. This old dragon would never have thought that he had already used up all his sword energy tonight, and what he saw at this time was his true cultivation state.
However, in addition to sword energy, Zhou Yi also has a back-up move, which is the night horse that once boiled the world.
It's still night time now.
As long as Zhou Yi wants to leave, he can summon the night horse at any time.
Seeing that Zhou Yi didn't answer, Ao Qin had no choice but to continue: "To be honest, the four evil sons and grandsons broke the contract for a reason. First, there was a change in the heavenly secret, and the seal that was put in place more than 20 years ago showed signs of laxity.
, the golden-winged roc demon king was revealed. Then after the golden-winged roc was severely injured by the Bodhisattva, its demon power was greatly reduced, and the secrets it concealed were also calculated by my dragon sons and grandsons. Unexpectedly, they discovered it.
A secret thing."
Zhou Yi glanced at Ao Qin, who was deliberately trying to hide his identity, and asked: "What's the secret?"
Ao Qin said: "The great Lingnan demon Pingjiang Jun, I originally thought that it was just the leader of the younger generation among the demon clan. But in fact, it was actually one of the thirty-six demon kings who besieged Buddhism that year, and it also belonged to the Yingjiang clan.
The demon of calamity. The reason why it was able to escape the seal of Buddhism was because it used secret methods to reincarnate, and it became the current Lingnan Great Demon Pingjiang Jun."
After a pause, Ao Qin continued: "Pingjiang Lord and the Golden-winged Dapeng Demon King have a close friendship. They are unruly and unruly, and their nature is hard to change. How can they be willing to be river gods? We doubt that he provoked this fight.
The Tao War has another purpose, and it was our Dragon Palace that fell into its scheme earlier. My dragon sons and grandsons were worried that everything was in Pingjiang Lord’s plan from the beginning, so they wanted to choose another notary.”
Zhou Yi tapped his fingertips lightly.
The past events are still vivid in my mind.
He naturally still remembers the original intention of Lord Pingjiang and Ao Chen to fight in Guangyuan County, just because he wanted to join Nanjiang Longting to become a river god, but Nanjiang Longting refused, so he followed the ancient demon clan
The tradition of fighting is about winning or losing.
At that time, Zhou Yi had felt something was wrong. Lord Pingjiang's idea was too unimaginable. How could the majestic Lingnan Demon King be willing to be a minister?
Even if the other party is from the Nanting Jianglong Clan.
But later in Wenhe County, Lord Pingjiang revealed to Zhou Yi his intention to convert to Buddhism.
This made Zhou Yi more and more suspicious of Pingjiang Jun's purpose.
However, the battle had already been decided, and Zhou Yi didn't think much about it.
He acted as a notary just to obtain the Dragon Palace's petition so as to find the lost Buddhist treasure.
However, listening to Old Long Aoqin's tone today, Pingjiang Jun's actions seemed to be related to the past more than 20 years ago. More than 20 years ago, the collapse of Buddhism completely changed the structure of China and the outside world.
"Amitabha."
Zhou Yi whispered the Buddha's name and asked the question that he had wanted to know the most: "What happened more than twenty years ago? What is the tribulation demon?"
Old Long Aoqin looked at Zhou Yi in surprise.
"The Bodhisattva actually doesn't know? That's right. The Bodhisattva must have been in seclusion for too long. He doesn't know the prophecy of calamity that has been spread in the land outside us for thousands of years."
Zhou Yi: "Prophecy?"
Ao Qin smoothed his long gray beard and said leisurely: "Yes, legend has it that since ancient times, there has been an outsider demon outside the three realms.
These demon gods have vast supernatural powers and are immortal. They sleep most of the time, but they occasionally wake up.
And when they wake up, they will cause chaos in the lower world, or turn into invincible monsters, or turn into beauties and troubles to bewitch the king, or directly cause catastrophe.
It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, when the way of heaven was still there, there were demons from outside the world roaming the world. In the end, the great powers of Buddhism took action to suppress them.
After that, the way of heaven gradually disappeared, the six paths of reincarnation in the underworld also stopped running, and the world entered a long era of lawlessness.
Over the years, the struggle between good and evil outside the world, between human monks and monsters, has never stopped.
But everyone knows that the real threat comes from outside.
More than a thousand years ago, Chinese Buddhism, Taoism, Incense Gods, Ziwei lineage, and our Nanjiang Dragon Palace jointly worked out a prophecy.
Thousands of years later, a dynasty called the Tang Dynasty will occupy the land of the Middle Earth. At that time, a great demon will summon demons from outside the world to cause trouble in the Middle Earth. By then, not only the Middle Earth, but also the entire three realms of heaven and earth will fall apart.
For this reason, people outside the righteous way have been silently preparing, and the fight against demons and ghosts has become more and more intense.
It was not until more than 20 years ago that the conflict between the two sides finally reached the most out of control stage.
All the thirty-six great demons who should be tribulated have been calculated by divination, including Lord Pingjiang's previous life and the golden-winged roc.
These thirty-six demon kings also got the news and joined forces with some powerful ghosts to besiege Buddhism.
The eminent monks of Buddhism sacrificed their lives to protect the Tao, sat down and cast spells, imitated the Buddhist sages from tens of thousands of years ago, and sealed the thirty-six evil demon kings... But the price was that Buddhism no longer had a real leader.
collapse."
Zhou Yi raised his head and asked: "You all just sit back and do nothing? Don't you know the meaning of lips dying and teeth cold?"
Ao Qin smiled bitterly and said: "How could Xiaolong not know this? It's just that before Buddhism and the thirty-sixth demon king died together, Xiaolong was assassinated and seriously injured. He could only stay in seclusion to recuperate, and he has not recovered yet. As far as Xiaolong knows, Tian
Shi Dao also encountered a similar situation. Xiaolong swears in the name of his ancestors that everything he said is true."
"I believe you."
Zhou Yi said lightly, in fact, he already knew what happened that year from Zhulong's mouth, and just wanted to see if Ao Qin would hide it from him.
"correct."
Zhou Yi suddenly thought of something: "When that man attacked you back then, did you activate the Dragon Palace to defend the formation like you did when you faced the young monk tonight?"
Ao Qin's face instantly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Of course, Xiaolong also used the Dragon Soul Formation left by the ancient ancestors. Xiaolong was still in peak condition back then, unlike today, where his injuries have not healed. In other words...
The people who attacked Xiaolong back then are at least on the same level as the Bodhisattva."
Zhou Yi looked calm, but his heart sank slightly.
Ao Qin only regarded the power of his sword as normal.
Little did he know that he could only use such a sword twice a day.
As for the man who attacked Ao Qin back then, his cultivation level was far superior to his own.
Zhou Yi asked: "Who attacked you? Is it a demon or a ghost?"
Ao Qin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "None of them...if Xiaolong guessed correctly, it should be a demon, and not an ordinary demon."
Zhou Yi asked in a low voice: "Could it be a real demon?"
Ao Qin said: "Xiaolong doesn't know either. Xiaolong only knows that although the demon was severely injured by Xiaolong with the power of the dragon soul of his ancestors, he must still be alive. And according to the prophecy, only one of the thirty-six demon kings can summon
The devil from outside the world comes. Therefore, in the battle between our dragon clan and Mr. Pingjiang, we can only win but not lose. So the notary..."
After hearing this, Zhou Yi finally understood the whole story.
The truth behind the collapse of Buddhism is just like the meaning of Buddhism... If I don't go to hell, who will? With my own strength, I sacrificed my life to protect the Tao and sealed the thirty-six demon kings.
When the thirty-six demon kings besieged Buddhist temples all over the world, it was because they knew that if they did not strike first, they would be eliminated by the righteous path of the Middle Earth.
But during this period, there was another demonic figure, fishing in troubled waters and making trouble.
That unfathomable demon is his real enemy.
As for Lord Pingjiang, Zhou Yi always felt that when he said he wanted to convert to Buddhism that day, he showed his true feelings.
"The young monk understands everything you said. However, the young monk still hopes to continue to be the notary public."
Zhou Yi said to Ao Qin.
Ao Qin was startled, then smiled bitterly and sighed softly: "Since the Bodhisattva has made up his mind, Xiaolong will naturally not stop him. I just hope that in two days, on the day of the battle, the Bodhisattva can help us keep an eye on Lord Pingjiang. After all, he is
The demon who is in danger of calamity cannot be careless."
"Amitabha, please rest assured, Donor Ao, even if Lord Pingjiang is not a demon who deserves calamity, the monk will keep an eye on him. Of course, the monk will keep an eye on both sides to ensure fairness."
As Zhou Yi spoke, a thought floated out of his mind, flew away from the Dragon Palace, crossed the river, and explored a mountain peak thousands of miles away.
Previously, Lord Pingjiang sent a message from the top of that peak, asking Zhou Yi to come to Nantingjiang Mansion as soon as possible.
'Huh?'
A flash of surprise flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes.
Mr. Pingjiang is not there.
Mr. Pingjiang, Mr. Pingjiang, you concealed your identity from the outside world and deliberately started this war. What kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd?
Xiaoseng has always been very optimistic about you, you must not let Xiaoseng down.
After a secret conversation, Zhou Yi took the three demon king boys and settled in the Dragon Palace.
Zhou Yi and his entourage were entertained with delicacies from the mountains and seas, good wine and delicious food in the Dragon Palace.
The three demon boys and the little raccoon slave were busy feasting and enjoying themselves.
Zhou Yi received the gifts carefully prepared for him by Dragon Palace - ten volumes of Buddhist scriptures, three Zen staffs, three relics, a Buddhist pagoda, and several Buddhist instruments.
During this period, Zhou Yi also got together with the dragon girl Li Jiuniang and the dragon son Ao Chen, and both of them also asked about the current situation of Jinghe Xiaolong.
Naturally, Zhou Yi would not tell them that the real Jinghe Xiaolong had been suppressed below the Qixian Gorge and served as the spirit of the formation.
He just told them that Jinghe Xiaolong was guarding the cave for him.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
The area around the Nanting River was turbulent.
Masters of magic, gods of mountains and rivers, foreigners from overseas, including some great neutral demons, came in droves. Under the arrangements of several Dragon Lords, they formed magic formations to guard the coast of the Nanting River.
A Dragon Lord said loudly: "I would like to invite the notary, the holy monk Yichen, and the human arbiter, Fang Ziqi."
On the left bank of Nanting River, Zhou Yi appeared.
He didn't see any movement. A whirlpool appeared next to him. The light and shadow were flowing in the whirlpool, and a small dilapidated courtyard could be vaguely seen.
"Fang Ziqi, the time has come."
In the small courtyard, a young man who was planting vegetables heard the sound and raised his head with joy.
"Yes, Master."
Fang Ziqi took one step and stepped into the whirlpool, from his home in Guangyuan County to the Lingnan River.
