Chapter 414 Finding Trouble
“Demon Lord?!”
“A Demon Lord has already appeared?!”
“Don’t panic! Huangzhou is still two thousand miles away from here Yuli!”
……
For a moment, as everyone heard the content of Feijian's message clearly, they began to talk in shock.
After all, the Demon Lord is equivalent to a super-innate monk of the human race, much rarer and more powerful than the so-called Demon General.
"Huangzhou is the territory of Buddhism. Buddhism will definitely send eminent monks to deal with it. We can just follow the master's instructions and avoid it."
Taoist Xuanzhen then raised his hand and touched his goat. Huzi judged, saying that they can just listen to Qingyangzi's arrangements and don't need to think about challenging the limits of life.
But Wang Zhifan's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, and he immediately wanted to consult others about the specific location of Huangzhou, and was ready to rush over to see the situation.
This is not because he wants to die, but because the strength of the previous Demon Lords has disappointed him. He wants to know the specific level of the stronger Demon Lords, and then adjust his personal position in this copy according to the actual situation. , modify the customs clearance plan.
But before Wang Zhifan could ask for directions, the tall and masked dragon girl beside him suddenly flew up, and her figure flew to the east like a sharp arrow without any hesitation.
"This woman... must be rushing to Huangzhou!"
Wang Zhifan suddenly made this judgment in his heart, knowing that now he didn't have to ask anyone for directions, he had a ready-made local Someone led the way, so he also activated the Wind and Thunder Technique, took off from the ground and followed.
In an instant, Taoist Xuanzhen and other Qingyang Palace disciples who stayed in place looked at the direction away from the two masters, with the corners of their mouths twitching slightly but having nothing to say.
The main thing is that Wang Zhifan and Yue Mie Long Dao do not belong to their group. They are just temporary foreign aids. No one else can control what they want to do. Qingyangzi's words cannot completely restrain them.
At the same time, while rushing one after another at high altitude, the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword flying in front also spotted Wang Zhifan who was following closely behind.
This situation seemed to make her a little concerned. She quickly slowed down her flying speed slightly, allowing Wang Zhifan behind to catch up quickly.
When Wang Zhifan stepped through the air and galloped to a position almost level with her, she continued flying while turning to Wang Zhifan and said:
"Taoist Master Fanyun, you can't compete with her this time. I grab it.”
His voice was still crisp and cold, with a unique pressure, but not too annoying.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency, I will go over and have a look."
Wang Zhifan immediately answered with a smile after hearing this, no longer resolute in his earlier attitude of competing with this woman for the right to kill the demon general first. .
This is not because he is afraid of this woman, but because he is a reasonable person. Since this woman took the initiative to give in once in the previous conflict between the two, he would not be able to keep confronting her, otherwise It gives the impression of being too overbearing and can easily lead to unnecessary internal friction.
From another level, the most important purpose of his search for the Demon Lord was to get information about combat power. Someone fighting in front did not affect his ability to obtain information, so it didn't matter if he showed courtesy once.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your permission."
The dragon girl immediately responded politely. It could be seen that after some of the previous events, she understood the tip of the iceberg of Wang Zhifan's strength, and her attitude toward him became more respectful.
Wang Zhifan nodded and took the opportunity to talk to the dragon girl, asking her about how far away from Huangzhou it was, how much she knew about the Demon Lord, and so on, so as to get some information.
Dragon Girl was quite willing to answer such questions that did not involve her personal life. She gave Wang Zhifan a brief explanation, and soon returned to her serious on-the-go state.
Wang Zhifan also didn't pester her too much. Seeing that she didn't want to say more, he summoned the red deer horse and also concentrated on riding the horse and galloping.
In fact, with his current skill and physique, he can reach Huangzhou all the way through Qinggong, but he has always been the kind of person who is very calculating. If he can save some skill and physical strength, he will not waste it deliberately. Anyway, the speed of Red Deer Horse is fast enough, and he will not waste it intentionally. Any delays.
So about half an hour later, Wang Zhifan and the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword, who were riding on the back of the Pegasus, arrived at the boundary of Huangzhou at the same time. This speed was considered quite fast even among monks, but the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword The entire flight of the sword was in a relaxed and calm state, which showed that the dragon girl's physique was indeed not comparable to that of ordinary people. No wonder Qingyangzi valued her more.
After that, the two of them searched for about a stick of incense on the boundary of Huangzhou. They found several traces of demons along the way and solved them casually. Finally, they found the demon king mentioned by Qingyangzi. Location.
It was on a vast plain. The two of them could sense the unusually strong aura of the demon from a long distance away. It was as obvious as a lighthouse on the sea in the dark night. They knew they had found the target without further exploration.
After getting closer, they saw that the suspected demon king was a terrifying demon as huge as a hill. It had three heads and six arms. The three heads could vaguely be seen as human female children, male youths and The face of an elderly woman, and the green and black demonic flames covering her whole body were extremely terrifying. Only three Buddhist monks with extremely powerful auras on the entire plain dared to confront her, trying to contain this terrifying existence.
At the same time, there are tens of thousands of other demons scattered in the surrounding area miles away from this huge demon. Most of the ordinary demons have been eliminated by the bald army gathered here, but there are still dozens of demon generals. The horizontal beings are still fighting with the monks, and the overall scene is quite chaotic, with demons or human monks dying at any time.
"What a big scene... Did those demons want to attack nearby towns, but they were blocked here by Buddhist masters?"
Wang Zhifan did not rush into the battle formation to help. , he stayed in the outer area, observing the overall situation from a high altitude, and noticed that there was a town about twenty miles away. A huge demon suspected to be the Demon Lord was leading many other demons to move there under pressure. The purpose was obvious. but.
"We are late...Buddhism has always been unwilling for others to interfere in their affairs, otherwise it will cause trouble."
Dragon Girl's Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword came to Wang Zhifan's side at this time. Along the way, my relationship with Wang Zhifan became much more harmonious, and I took the initiative to remind him not to interfere easily.
"You can't even volunteer to help?"
Wang Zhifan was a little unconvinced after hearing this. He didn't understand why some people would refuse other people's enthusiastic help. Is it just to maintain his own face? "You can tell just by looking over there. Someone from the Confucian sect is rushing over."
The Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword then raised his hand to point out a direction to Wang Zhifan.
Those are more than a dozen small dots that appear on the horizon. When you are far away, it is easy to see them as flying birds. But if you look closely for a second, you can see that they are a group of figures flying quickly approaching. All of them are The clothes worn by Gao Guanbo really resemble the style of a Confucian sect.
"You have such good eyesight, I wouldn't have noticed it even if you didn't tell me."
Wang Zhifan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the group of Confucian visitors, realizing that the woman beside him was indeed not an ordinary person, with extraordinary physique. Extraordinary powers of observation.
Such a situation made him feel that the battlefield situation in front of him was becoming more and more complicated, and he might be able to see a precious scene of conflict between Confucianism and Buddhism.
At the same time, there were indeed some bad signs appearing in the direction they were observing.
A total of seventeen Confucian masters suddenly flew from the sky and broke into the battle dominated by Buddhism. They were intercepted by several Xiantian monks who were guarding the outside.
"Stop! Outsiders are not allowed to enter here!"
I saw three Xiantian monks flying into the sky bathed in golden Buddha light. Behind each of them, there was a faint appearance of majestic Dharma, and they blocked the sudden intruder with force. Confucian visitors.
The leading Confucian man is a handsome young man with a high crown, long robes, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. He looks about twenty-three or four years old. Although he is relatively young, his aura is extremely powerful, and he seems to have transcended ordinary innate abilities. environment level.
I saw this handsome Confucian monk who looked like a dragon or phoenix among men. Facing the interception of the three monks, he gently raised his sleeves and waved. The luxurious folding fan with white background and gold rim in his hand bloomed like a goddess scattering flowers. A mysterious word "trapped", these ink-like characters tightly bound the three Buddhist monks in the blink of an eye, causing them to fall to the ground involuntarily like chains. Even the Buddhist Dharmakaya condensed behind them dissipated due to the characters. .
“You want to stop me, layman Qingfeng? How can you do it without sending a few Buddhist disciples?”
After casually dealing with the monk who intercepted him, the dashing Confucian chuckled and led the other Confucian scholars behind him to continue flying through the battle formation, approaching the existence of the suspected demon lord on the ground.
The actions of these people undoubtedly angered many monks around them, but most of the monks were still fighting the demons and had no time to pay attention to them. What's more, the monks also knew full well that they could not deal with them with their strength. This powerful Confucian master might as well pretend not to notice and concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front of him to avoid humiliating himself.
At this time, in the center of the battlefield, the battle between three eminent Buddhist monks and a being suspected of being a demon king became intense.
Two of the eminent monks transformed into huge Buddhist Vajras that were not much smaller than the Demon Lord, as if two giant gods were attacking the terrifying Demon Lord with three heads and six arms.
Another eminent monk was sitting cross-legged in the sky, holding rosary beads in his hand and constantly reciting Buddhist mantras. Every time he opened and closed his lips, a swastika bigger than a house would fall from the sky and hit it hard. When he reached the Demon Lord's body, the green and black demonic flames on his body vibrated violently, and seemed to be extinguished in the next second.
However, even though the three Buddhist monks fought with all their strength, the three-headed and six-armed Demon Lord showed no real signs of falling. He steadily withstood the attacks of the two Vajra Avatars and the Fallen Buddha's Curse, as if roots had grown under his feet, and even with great strength The famous Buddhist Dharma can't shake him, so they can only keep fighting against his six stone pillar-like demonic arms in a continuous war of attrition.
Such a scene was seen by the Confucian Qingfeng layman who had just brought people closer. He chuckled and said sarcastically:
"You bully the few with more, but you can't win for a long time. ...If you Buddhists don’t have the strength to slay demons, hurry up Give up to me, layman Qingfeng! I can kill this demon in just a moment!"
His voice was obviously not very loud, but it was affected by a special power that could be heard within a ten-mile radius. It was clear as day that he wanted to put pressure on the Buddhist masters.
“Confucianism and Buddhism are so intractable?”
Wang Zhifan, who was far away from the central area, couldn't help but ask the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword next to him, because he didn't understand why Qingfeng layman, who looked like a master of Confucianism at first sight, wanted to provoke Buddhism at this critical moment. The hostility of a scholar should be expected. Not that big.
"Well, Confucianism and Buddhism have a lot of territorial conflicts. They will look for every opportunity to overpower each other and show their strength, so that more people will join their sect."
Long Nu, who had become quite familiar with Wang Zhifan, immediately explained, making Wang Zhifan understand.
"Oh...so that's what happened...No wonder I heard someone in a place called Shuqiu City say that Confucianism and Taoism are getting closer."
Wang Zhifan thought at this time When he was talking to the Confucian scholar named Zhang Siqian, he said that the relationship between Confucianism and Taoism was acceptable, but the relationship with Buddhism was worse, but he did not pay attention to this aspect at the time.
Curious, Wang Zhifan immediately asked Long Nu more about this, such as what is the relationship between Taoism and Buddhism, why Taoism's external relations seem to be better, and to what extent Buddhism and Confucianism are fighting.
The Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword, who was fine for the moment, patiently explained to him and told him the key.
For example, the reason why the Taoist sect has a good relationship with both Buddhism and Confucianism is because the people in the Taoist sect pay attention to quietness and inaction, and basically will not deliberately open up new territories. The conflict of interests with the other two schools will naturally be very serious. few.
Even if someone in the Taoist sect joins the ranks of Buddhism or Confucianism, the Taoist sect doesn’t bother to care about it. The main thing is to follow the fate. You can follow whichever way you like, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the Taoist master and my cultivation.
On the other hand, Buddhism and Confucianism are different. They both have a more proactive and utilitarian style. It is difficult for other practitioners to stay in the sphere of influence of Buddhism for a long time. Confucianism also actively promotes Confucianism and Taoism. From time to time, Confucian scholars There were conflicts with Buddhist disciples who liked to preach everywhere, and many lives were lost.
But decades ago, the three saints paid attention to this aspect, and each set up restrictions to prohibit the three disciples from fighting each other to the death. After all, the three saints are said to have a good relationship with each other, and they stand at a higher level. They don't want to see the human monks having internal strife for nothing and letting the hostile demon world take advantage of them.
However, the constraints from above cannot truly solve all conflicts. Even though the three major human forces in the disaster world seem to be much peaceful on the surface, there are still many secret conflicts in private.
Especially Buddhism and Confucianism, each side will seize the opportunity to disgust the other. Since saints are not allowed to fight life and death physically, they should look for opportunities to attack the other side mentally, especially to find the righteousness. However, if the other party is humiliated, he can only endure it for life.
This is a suitable opportunity for the Confucian Qingfeng layman to come and cause trouble for Buddhism, because the elimination of demonic invaders is the great cause of all human beings in the disaster world. You Buddhists are struggling to deal with a suspected demon. If I, the Confucian sect, can handle the existence of respect in just a few clicks, then your Buddhist sect is not as good as my Confucian sect, and there is no reason to argue.
