Chapter 204 Confucianism fears destiny, Buddhism fears cause and effect; but I, Taoism, change and soar


Chapter 204 Confucianism is afraid of destiny, Buddha is afraid of cause and effect; I am Taoist, change and soar

Nine out of thirteen returns, how much benefit I had from Deng Dongyuan before, now I have to spit out all the benefits, but Lu The city itself is also mentally prepared for this. After all, it will not believe that such a combination of interests can truly be a loving teacher and a filial piety.

The second blow of the sword connected with the natal blood fire in the Dantian, and the energy, blood, bone marrow and even the mind of Lu Cheng began to burn.

The true breath of the Blood God spreads throughout the body, and the majestic mana is also driven by the compression of the Pulse-breaking Sword Qi method, traveling through the wide and strong meridians.

Only this time, Lu Cheng did not use the Vajra Flying Sword to kill and suppress the Buddha.

The left hand shows the sword formula with the two fingers of the index finger together. Five-color sword light of green, red, white, yellow and black flies out and changes around his body. Finally, as the sword formula of the right hand rises, it quickly turns into a ball of light and gathers. In the center, five swords merge into one.

“Go!”

At this moment, the mana that exploded around Yu Lu Cheng was indeed earth-shattering.

Even vaguely comparable to Deng Dongyuan and Shang Xiwen, it also attracted the attention of the thousand-year-old ghost in the field.

But after all, it was impossible for it to attack Lu Cheng with all its strength in front of these two murderous men, Deng Dongyuan and Shang Xiwen.

Although the same mana aura erupts, it is obviously violent and unstable. It is doubtful to what extent such mana can be exerted, and it will certainly not last long.

What's more, Lu Cheng's sword was slashed upward into the sky, a sword that cut through the air!

Deng and Shang's family of five alchemy masters and more than twenty monks in the Refining Gang Realm, during this period of time, half of them have been killed by thousands of years of ghosts, and their bodies have been seized and controlled.

It itself is also rapidly learning and increasing its magical powers, not to mention that through these monks, it can understand the character and weaknesses of Deng Dongyuan and Shang Xiwen:

The character of Deng Dongyuan It's greed and dominance Tao does not leave any benefit to others. All the good things in the world must be possessed by me. The female cultivator who pursued beauty when she was young, became successful in the world after middle age and established a family and became the ancestor. All the good things in this world, All must be possessed by me.

This is not a bad thing in terms of spiritual practice. Seeing one's nature is merit and equality is virtue. Knowing one's own nature and practicing to stretch one's nature are the evil thoughts and stubbornness.

This kind of evil intention in the world combined with his circumstances and talents is extremely terrifying.

Shang Xi asked whether this person's character was indecisive. He cultivated the natal magic weapon Ghost King Flag and also practiced as a fifth-level Talisman Maker. A high-level Talisman Maker is very scary. A high-level monk can only have one There are one natal magic weapon and several high-level magic weapons, but the Talisman Maker can have many high-level spells on his body, and they can also use all the power of the spells for wonderful purposes.

This resulted in Shang Xiwen's various methods, and he could even indirectly master the most powerful thunder method to restrain himself, and he also had many ways to deal with other people's thunder methods.

But he lacks the magic power to make the final decision. This is also related to the environment in which he grew up. This has been the case for hundreds of years. As long as he entangles his opponent and waits for his senior brother to slow down, he will make the final decision in a certain way. In a sense, this is indeed the best choice for Shangxi Wen.

During this period of time, Millennium Heavenly Ghost had a very profound understanding of the respective character traits of Deng Dongyuan and Shang Xiwen.

Unfortunately, before it could make preparations, Deng Dongyuan and Shang Xiwen had already noticed it first and then completed the counterattack.

That day, Lu Cheng was meditating and practicing, and suddenly felt a cold feeling. It was also coveting Deng Dongyuan's magic skills and Taoism, and wanted to seize him, but was frightened away by Lu Cheng's Five Elements Sword Intent.

It was not that he was invincible, but that facing that kind of sword intent, the Millennium Heavenly Ghost was keenly aware that it was difficult for him to kill him quickly, and he was worried about attracting cultivators to besiege him, so he just retreated.

After these days, less than half of Deng Shang's two monks have been devoured by it. It originally planned to devour everyone except Deng Shang and Lu Cheng before taking action, but it didn't expect that it would be the first to do so. .

The Millennium Heavenly Ghost did not realize that as it devoured more monks, it became more and more infected with "human" weaknesses.

This thousand-year-old heavenly ghost was like a mist at this time, swooping back and forth among the more than ten monks from the Deng and Shang families. Those monks who had been killed by it and whose souls had dispersed, Of course, at this moment, the ghost's anger came to his face, and he used his magic weapon to fight back crazily.

But there were a few people with normal expressions on their faces, crying for their ancestors.

But they were still killed by Deng Dongyuan and Shang Xiwen. Unless there was more than 80% certainty that the body was not taken away, they would all be killed without mercy. They would rather kill by mistake than let the ghosts come back. .

Judging from the changes in the monk's body after his death, some people were indeed wronged, but Deng Dongyuan didn't care at all. With a roll of demonic energy, he turned it into nothingness and increased his own demonic energy.

Two of the five alchemy masters have died in the battle. One was killed by being possessed by a body-snatcher, one was approached by a screaming and wailing nephew, and one couldn't bear to take action at the first time, and then was killed by the other party. Holding Bangran and dying, he died of serious injuries:

Ghost technique, corpse bone explosion.

Using a monk's soul and body's magic power to the extreme.

But at this moment, in mid-air, above the sky, there was a bloody sword light suddenly blazing. In the next moment, the bloody light filled the entire sky. Under the shocking blood light, the entire Tianfo World, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas were stained with a layer of blood red.

Huge blood swords extended out from the sea of ​​clouds. In such a melancholy and enchanting sword light, the whole world was filled with an indescribable chilling coldness and violent ruthlessness.

One sword cuts across the world, and the Five Elements extinguish the sword energy.

Under the influence of Deng Dongyuan, Shang Xiwen, and the Millennium Heavenly Ghost, the sword light that Lu Cheng had waved before turned into a bloody hole between the sea of ​​clouds in the sky, and the world was filled with chaos. All the vitality was extracted by this fierce bloody sword light, all the nutrients for its own proliferation and growth were transformed, and it seemed to continue to grow without end.

In the previous fight with Shang Xiwen, Lu Cheng showed his highest level of swordsmanship with one move and one sword.

The sword path is vertical and horizontal to guard Tianyuan, seize the opportunity and be the first to move. The chain of swords falls to kill everyone in the situation. The mystery is mysterious and the color is empty. The twelve jade towers are empty and empty, every inch of lovesickness and every inch of gray.

If the three-sword killing round is completed, Lu Cheng is even certain to kill Shang Xiwen quickly. Then there is a high probability that death will fail and Shang Xi wonders whether he will die or not. He himself will definitely die.

At this moment, fighting against thousand-year-old ghosts, Lu Cheng was not at all forced by others to consume his hundred-year lifespan with hesitation and uncertainty. Instead, he fully devoted his body and mind to it, observing, understanding, and enjoying this sword. .

The sword belongs to the five elements, and the heaven and earth are regarded as life. The five elements exterminate the sword energy, and plunder and extinguish the vitality of the heaven and earth!

It can be said that Lu Cheng perfectly integrated his own swordsmanship, the magic of seizing heaven and transforming spirits, and the Five Elements Mahamudra. With his current level of magic power, he can only use the swordsmanship of escaping the world with one sword. , Only then can this body, swordsmanship, and Taoism be integrated into such a realm.

“This sword is really beautiful!”

Deng Dongyuan raised his head and glanced at the Blood Rainbow Sword Formation in the sky, sighed with emotion, and then continued to step up his attacks to suppress the flying ghosts.

Shang Xiwen looked strange, but he probably behaved in the same way.

Only the Millennium Heavenly Ghost cannot be as unresponsive as Deng Dongyuan and Shang Xiwen, because this sword absorbs Xingqi and is ready to attack it.

"Ahhhh..."

With a sharp roar, the bodies of the Deng and Shang monks who were originally used as shields exploded in an instant, and all their blood and energy were gone. Gathered by heavenly ghosts.

At this moment, it finally condensed into reality and stood in the void.

Raising its head, it is the figure of a faceless person, or in other words, a human face appears on its face all the time. This is the resentment of millions of believers who have died in vain in the world. Eat fast and worship the Buddha. You have devoted all your family wealth, but you will not get any good rewards!

Resentment is hard to calm down, and I hate all living beings!

This overwhelming resentment swept the entire heaven and Buddha world back then, but now, it will sweep everything in this world and fall into hell.

“It is stupid and cowardly to place the hope of one’s own transcendence on others.

Confucianism fears destiny and cultivates one’s self beforehand; Buddha fears cause and effect, but does not know that karma cannot be escaped; only oneself Taoists only want immortality, transformation and ascension, do not believe in destiny, are not afraid of the consequences of karma, and resist nature. How brave is that? ”

Yuanshi Tianmo Ce never believed that demon is the opposite of Tao, but believed that Tao is objective, natural, and independent of human will. Demon is originally Tao. Tian Mo Ce tells about the original darkness of the universe and the darkness that occupies the universe. Ninety-eight percent of people are mistaken for demons by the fools and defenders of the world, but in fact, the vast majority of people in the world cannot see the truth and just follow what others say. The Tao is there. It’s just the objective and true side of Tao.

Therefore, the practitioners of Tianmo Ce all believe that they are the real Taoists. At this moment, Deng Dongyuan looked up to the sky and shouted, "How brave!" A mouthful of golden elixir energy turned into black thunder and struck down one after another. Concise and domineering.

Forcibly suppressing the Millennium Heavenly Ghost who was gathering momentum, he had no time to attack Lu Cheng who was gathering momentum. Shang Xiwen also used sword skills and talismans to follow closely behind.

His sword techniques are extremely meticulous and his skills are solid. Coupled with his ever-changing talisman changes, he can truly be said to be a perfect combination and a surprise victory.

The remaining monks from Deng and Shang also reacted one after another after their shock subsided. They each used their flying swords and magic weapons to attack in succession.

Suppressed by two Jindan masters, three Danjie masters, and several gang-refining monks, Lu Cheng finally completed his own Great Five Elements Extermination Sword Formation.

As he used the sword technique in his hand, huge blood swords fell down, and their power shook the heaven and the earth.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, a monk war occurred between the Chiyang Realm and the Qingming Realm. This tragic war almost caused the death of almost all living creatures in the two worlds and fell into destruction. However, too strong a force can also Breaking the membrane between the two realms, the heaven and earth return to a state of chaos. When chaos opens again tens of thousands of years later, the pure air between heaven and earth rises and the turbid air falls. The innate air resides in it, so that all living things can practice Taoism.

This leads to the fact that in the newly born Tongxuan world, the Taoist’s monastic background and innate physique are even higher than those of the monks of the previous era.

In many other realms and worlds, there is no way for monks to reach the ninth level of elixir cultivation. Because of their innate weak constitution and insufficient monastic foundation, everyone basically achieves the lower or middle level of alchemy.

It is impossible to raise many high-grade golden elixir masters like Tongxuan World. The magic power of these high-grade golden elixir masters is almost ten times or even dozens of times more than that of the alchemy masters in other worlds. Once they reach the late stage of golden elixir cultivation, , and can even compete with Nascent Soul monks from other realms.

So, even if a sixth-level Thousand-Year Heavenly Ghost has been cultivating for thousands of years, he can still cope with Deng Dongyuan. After all, there is a huge gap in mana, and with the addition of Shang Xiwen, he can only swim and attack. In short, at this moment, the third Jin Dan's combat power joined, directly breaking the balance of power between the two sides.

Lu Cheng uses the blood sword technique to sense and attract the five elements of vitality in the sky, swallowing and absorbing it, circulating internally and externally, echoing each other, sensing each other, and the massive magic power becomes more and more powerful.

When the swordsmanship was completed, a huge blood-colored sword slashed downwards with the force of opening up the world, locking the thousand-year-old ghost with its sword intent.

At that moment, the pressure on its mind was even greater than that of the two Jindan masters Deng Dongyuan and Shang Xiwen.

Letting out a silent scream, he pointed at the huge bloody sword that was enveloping him with one finger.

"Fortunately, it is a sword formation range attack, and the magic power is not concentrated at one point!"

The moment before facing the sword edge, such a thought flashed in Tiangui's mind.

But at the moment when the finger swords were clashing, Tiangui found that his Netherworld finger power penetrated the bloody giant sword without any hindrance. However, the bloody giant sword passed through his body like a phantom.

Finally, what appeared in front of him was the young Taoist. He didn't know when he was holding a glass-like sword with five scarlet colors in his hand, slashing it down diagonally.

The unique skills of swordsmanship and the power of swordsmanship.

Because the sword intention of this sword was too real and too strong, Tiangui, who was surrounded by Deng Dongyuan and Shang Xiwen, could not distinguish the authenticity from the fake in an instant.

What Deng Dongyuan said before, "It's so beautiful!"

This is also what Deng Dongyuan said, because even he was not sure that he could make the right judgment instantly in such a situation. .

With a sword carrying the most terrifying magic power, he directly broke through the dharma body of the heavenly ghost.

Cut it in half from the waist with a sword.

The Five Elements Sword Fire burned on the Heavenly Ghost's body in an instant. As the most stable sword intention in the world, once it touches the body, it will be like a maggot attached to the bone, following it like a shadow.

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

Suddenly hit hard, the thousand-year-old ghost screamed in horror.

It couldn't even kill Lu Cheng, who was almost out of strength right in front of him. It suddenly rose into the sky and fled in one direction at a speed far beyond normal.

Ghosts, their obsession with death and life are higher than anything else in the hearts of ghosts.

"Cheng'er, you did a great job! Deming, you bring Lu Cheng over here quickly. Protecting Lu Cheng's safety is the first priority. No mistakes should be made."

Deng Dongyuan saw the sky The ghost has been seriously injured, and his body is still burned by the five elements of sword fire. His eyes are bright. He only needs a ray of the purest sixth-level heavenly ghost vitality to make up for his Taoism and be promoted to Nascent Soul. Seeing that success is imminent, he is naturally full of pride.

“Yes, ancestor.”

When Deng Deming heard this, he immediately responded.

He also saw that after Lu Cheng swung the sword, his face had aged and his hair had become much paler. He was now somewhere between middle-aged and old. How could he still not understand? The meaning of my ancestor:

This person still has the power of the sword to squeeze out, so he cannot let it go.

After saying that, Deng Dongyuan immediately turned into a rainbow and continued to chase him. Of course, before leaving, he took away treasures such as the Netherworld Magic Bead, the Heart of the Stone Spirit, the Golden Lotus of Nirvana, and the Golden Book of the Great Sun.

Otherwise, he was also worried that Lu Cheng would kill Deng Deming with one sword, and then escape into the Temple of Heaven and Man, seeking a life from death.

"Senior Brother Lu, I'm offended."

As a master of pill formation, Deng Deming stepped forward and actually called Lu Cheng senior brother. This may be the tradition of Dongji Island. The status of Deng Dongyuan and his disciples is supreme, but it can also be seen that It turns out that Lu Cheng's sword attack just now really frightened this person, so much so that his subconscious words showed some respect from the bottom of his heart.

Deng Deming was good at escape. He used a low-level talisman as a rope and connected one end to Lu Cheng's body and the other end to himself. Then he suddenly used the escape method. The two of them walked together very smoothly. .

Even in the process of escaping at high speed, he still had enough energy to chat with Lu Cheng.

“With the annihilation of the Heavenly Ghost this time, the ancestor’s confidence in refining the Yuanying will be greatly increased. At that time, Senior Brother Lu’s status as the ancestor’s closed disciple will also be elevated. He will be the true king of the Yuanying in this world. Being the first person, one person is inferior to ten thousand people, which is considered weak.”

"Finish this first, then talk about other things."

At the other end of the talisman rope, a cloud gathered under Lu Cheng, carrying him to fly away quickly, while Lu Cheng crossed his legs on top of the cloud. Meditate and try your best to replenish your own energy.

This time, I have the experience from the last time, and my condition is slightly better. However, after the last sword attack, I could just keep my mind inward and heal with all my strength, but this time I can’t. It may not even take long. Then he swung the third sword.

A hundred years of longevity is waved out, and there is not even one out of ten that can collect vitality to replenish it.

As for Deng Dongyuan's breakthrough method, after listening to many of his lectures these days and learning the Jade Planting Technique, Lu Cheng had some vague guesses.

The other party is afraid that he will need to use the natural energy of the heavenly ghost to collect yin and replenish yang, and return the innate light. This is in the same vein as the heavenly devil's strategy that Deng Dongyuan obtained.

“It’s just that I don’t know whether the ghost was male or female that day, but Master Deng is really not picky and accepts everything.”

Lu Cheng secretly slandered Deng Dongyuan’s sexual nature in his heart. Su Buji, but he also knew in his heart that, let alone this kind of Qi collection and replenishment, many monks in the Tongxuan world would sometimes go beyond the lower limit in order to achieve breakthroughs.

"My sword cut hard, and no matter how familiar it is with this place, I'm afraid it won't be able to escape. Next, it should be hunted and killed after it is exhausted, but Deng Dongyuan practiced here to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. It’s better to go find the Ejin Boat first, then I’m not sure.

When should I escape?”

Deng Dongyuan treats himself well these days. Although he is mostly used, it is good to be treated like this under a giant of magic.

If he is willing to stay, Deng Dongyuan is sure to fulfill his previous promise of not only 10%, but 70% to 80%.

But Lu Cheng was not interested and stayed on Dongji Island to practice dual cultivation with Deng Dongyuan.

It is possible to study concurrently, but it is not in line with Lu Cheng's xinxing. In contrast, Guizangshan's transformation and ascension technique and dual cultivation of law and body are more in line with Lu Cheng's xinxing.

This is not a question of which side has more benefits, but a question of road construction route selection.

…………

Meanwhile on the other side.

A faceless ghost figure without the lower half of its body, and at the same time, five elements of sword fire were burning on its waist and abdomen.

It climbed quickly into a dilapidated ancient temple using only its hands, as if swimming.

Due to the heavy damage to the body and the great loss of its vitality, its flight speed has dropped greatly. If he was found by the monks from Dongji Island at this time, he would definitely die.

At this moment, a rainbow of light flew past overhead.

The faceless ghost shadow immediately used its escape technique and hid in the shadows, but the monks from Dongji Island were already chasing them. Above their heads, there was a monk from Dongji Island who was practicing martial arts.

“Search carefully and don’t miss any place. That ghost has been seriously injured. As long as you find it, it will be a great achievement. If the ancestor can refine the Nascent Soul, we will also be better!

It must be nearby, look around."

"Yes!"

The remaining alchemy masters and gang refining monks of Dongji Island spread out to increase the search area. At this moment, the faceless ghost was extremely weak.

As the Taoist in the high altitude cast a spell, the ghostly energy on his body was attracted by the light. The Taoist from Dongji Island naturally looked down and looked at each other with the faceless ghost.

At this moment, the Heavenly Ghost is no longer able to escape, and it is already planning to do whatever it takes to exchange its life with the junior in front of it.

However.

The Taoist and the ghost looked at each other for a long time, but did not call out.

Perhaps, he sensed the desperate desire of the Heavenly Ghost, or he thought of the brothers of the same race who had died at the hands of the two ancestors.

"Yanbo, have you found anything there?"

"...No, Uncle Jiu, let's go take a look elsewhere."

"Okay. "

The Ninth Uncle had no doubt that he had it, so he left with the young Taoist.

Even the faceless ghost never thought of such an ending. After a while, his obsession rekindled and he crawled towards the depths of the huge temple driven by instinct.

In this once huge and magnificent temple that is now in decline, there is a Buddhist hall.

On the futon in the middle of the Buddhist hall, there is a mummy wearing a cassock sitting on it.

When the faceless ghost crawled in, the mummy actually opened its eyes and looked at the ghost. After a long while, he slowly said:

"Who hurt you again? It’s like this, Amitabha!”

"Amitabha, I am a merciful Buddha with boundless light that illuminates the pure lands of the ten directions without any obstacles. I am grateful to the Buddha for his kindness. I should repay my kindness with my body and make a great wish to be reborn in that country!..."

The golden light spreads, and the mummy appears. In this sutra, he turned into a golden Buddha, and the faceless ghost appeared. It quickly pounced on it, biting and devouring it, swallowing pieces of golden Buddha light into its mouth and abdomen. In the process, its Dharma body was rapidly solidifying and recovering, and even the Five Elements Sword on its waist was faintly burning and getting stronger. The fire, at this moment, was also covered and suppressed by the strong and gentle Buddha's light.

"Eat, eat. What I owe you will never be repaid even after thousands of years. Eat, eat all my body and soul."

The mummy looked at the lying body The heavenly ghosts on his body kept biting and devouring them, with a look of compassion on his face. The Buddha's light spread all over his body, but it did not incinerate the ghosts. Instead, it brought an inexplicable sense of peace and tranquility. He fed the ghosts with his body in order to repay a thousand years of bad karma.
