Chapter 448 Entanglement

With Ah Zhi's guidance, the three of them found the "exit" here without experiencing too many twists and turns.

The space here is weak, and you can reach the void by tearing it open.

But along the way, Azhi just walked in front silently, the ghost-headed sword in his hand kept making a sound on the stone road.

It seemed to be telling his inner struggles.

Except for the simple words that occasionally pointed the way, he had no extra words or actions, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with him.

Xie Que initially thought that A Zhi's reticence was due to the contradictions and struggles deep in his heart.

But as they moved forward, Ah Zhi's silent expression suddenly became filled with determination.

"What's wrong?" Taoist Huaiyue was a little worried and couldn't help but greet him.

Ah Zhi just shook his head and said nothing.

Taoist Huaiyue could only bury his doubts in his heart.

He knew that Ah Zhi was a stubborn person, and if he didn't tell him, he wouldn't be able to persuade him.

Just when the three of them were about to break through the space and leave.

Ah Zhi stood in front of the crack and stopped.

Taoist Huaiyue also suddenly looked at him and said somewhat strangely: "Why don't you leave?"

"Senior brother, we all thought wrong..."

Ah Zhi suddenly spoke, but his tone and mood seemed low at the moment.

"What did you think wrong?"

Hearing this, Taoist Huaiyue felt a little baffled.

"It...is not dead yet, and I can't just leave..."

Ah Zhi turned around, leaving behind an extremely lonely figure.

"Who is it...the Holy Spirit?" Taoist Huaiyue asked with a frown.

Ah Zhi didn't stop or look back, he just responded softly:

"Now I finally understand why I came here..."

There was a deep weariness in his voice.

At this moment, he seemed to have realized his destiny.

"Since I can return from the reincarnation of my previous life."

He continued: "Then the Holy Spirit...it will sweep in again."

"In other words, as long as I am alive, the Holy Spirit will not disappear."

Xie Que couldn't help but frown and asked: "Why? You are you, and he is him."

Ah Zhi just shook his head: "In my memory..."

"The yin and yang of Mount Koya are not for raising corpses."

"What is that?" Xie Que was stunned, that was all he knew.

Ah Zhi was silent for a while and then said, "It's for refining weapons."

"Buddha Moggallana is the yang, King Mingzun Bodhisattva is the yin."

"As long as it can be entangled for nine lives and watered with the blood of me and the Holy Spirit, after nine lives... that artifact will be born."

"This is the eighth life."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Que and Taoist Huaiyue suddenly felt turbulent in their hearts.

Who can have such a great ability? Actually, two Buddhas were used to refine weapons.

Moreover, the status of these two gods and Buddhas is not low.

"Does the Buddha not care?" Taoist Huaiyue couldn't help but ask.

After all, nominally speaking, Moggallana and Mingwangzun Bodhisattva are both disciples of the Buddha.

Using these two gods and Buddhas to refine weapons is undoubtedly a slap in the Buddha's face.

Ah Zhi's face became a little complicated at this moment, as if there were thousands of emotions intertwined.

His tone was filled with unspeakable heaviness, and his voice was hoarse like an old pine that had been polished by wind and sand. Every word seemed to speak of blood and fire.

"I won't care... This is a deal between Buddhism and Void..." He said, clasping his hands gently, as if struggling.

He already knew the truth, but he was unable to change it and was in agony.

"And the giant cauldron that brought us here is the tool for refinement."

There was a trace of sadness in his tone:

"As long as the Holy Spirit and I are still alive...that cauldron will bring me and the Holy Spirit here."

"That's why...the Holy Spirit...has turned into a monster that will never perish!" Azhi's words were full of helplessness: "So it's also because of me...that I have caused you harm."

Xie Que and Taoist Huaiyue looked at each other with expressions of shock.

Since Ah Zhi said this, the Holy Spirit must have appeared soon.

"You...really don't want to leave?" Taoist Huaiyue sighed.

Xie Que also frowned and looked at him:

"Although it is fate, it should be possible to escape..."

"Can Ding come to arrest you again?"

"And didn't you just say that you don't want to be a monk?"

Ah Zhi shook his head slightly, his clear eyes revealing a firm and deep light.

He leaned half sideways, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, but also an indescribable sense of responsibility: "I don't want to be a monk, but I still have a necessary sense of mission."

Hearing the word "sense of mission", Taoist Huaiyue couldn't help but feel stunned.

This word aroused complex emotions in his heart, making his originally calm heart become turbulent.

He looked at Ah Zhi, a trace of surprise, a trace of doubt, and some understanding flashed in his eyes.

"Sense of mission?" Taoist Huaiyue repeated the word.

Although he and Ah Zhi are only called brothers, it is also because of the rules in Chengping Dao.

The traditional rule of Chengping Dao is to judge seniority based on the color of the body. If this were not the case, it would be more accurate for Ah Zhi to call Master Huaiyue "Master".

Therefore, Taoist Huaiyue's care for Ah Zhi is somewhat similar to the relationship between master and disciple.

But Taoist Huaiyue also knows the nature of his disciples.

Ah Zhi has practiced cultivation for only two thousand years.

But he has already shown amazing talent and understanding.

His path to spiritual practice has not been smooth sailing.

But Ah Zhi was able to comprehend the realm of subtlety in a short period of time, and he was already close to the realm of integrating the Yin and Yang Dao into his own path. This is undoubtedly an amazing achievement.

Such a talent seems not worth mentioning in front of Xie Que's eyes.

In Huaiyue Taoist's long years of practice, although he has seen countless geniuses and wizards, Ah Zhi's talent can be regarded as one of the best.

Nowadays, Ah Zhi's strength is roughly equivalent to the Yama Buddha that Xie Que fought in the past.

It’s just that Yama Buddha has been on the path of cultivation for more than 30,000 years.

And Ah Zhi's years of practice are far less than a fraction of others.

However, in terms of cultivation level, Ah Zhi has surpassed him.

Even so, Yama Buddha's true body was transformed from a clear spring in Yama's pond, and his talent is not bad at all.

It was just that the Dharma he practiced was in conflict with himself, which led to his unhappiness in progress.

Taoist Huaiyue thought carefully and then moved to a key topic:

"That tripod...even though it is such a magical tool, why can it bring you and me here so accurately?"

"Just tell me, everything is due to fate." Ah Zhi's eyes also became a little deeper.

"Although I don't want to accept this as fate, God's will cannot be violated after all."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Huaiyue's expression suddenly became a little disdainful.

"What kind of fate? Those are just the words of bald donkeys. We in Chengping Dao are all about 'man can conquer nature'."

"Even if it is the void beyond heaven, Cheng Ping Dao has never surrendered, let alone a god or Buddha?"

Xie Que suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He now had a bald head.

Maybe Old Taoist Huaiyue is criticizing Sang and Huai now.

Taoist Huaiyue seemed to be aware of the existence of "Bi Jue" at this moment. He put away his disdainful attitude and said with some seriousness:

"That was your previous life, not you, so this responsibility... will naturally not be placed on your head, do you understand?"

Ah Zhi pursed his lips, and there was a hint of confusion in his deep eyes, as if he was troubled by something difficult to decide.

However, after a brief hesitation, he quickly transformed this confusion into determination.

Huaiyue Laodao looked at him and saw that he seemed to have made a decision, so he stopped trying to dissuade him too much.

He knew very well that if the mystery of reincarnation was really broken, there would be nothing he could do to persuade Ah Zhi to come back.

Not only is its realm and experience far beyond this life, but Buddhism also contains the method of "self-transcendence".

Even if you take refuge in a Samana, it is rare that you can turn back.

Even Bijue only escaped from the cyclic path after he had a conflict with the Vedic Dharma King.

But even so, Bi Jue did not give up studying Buddhism.

Looking at the gradually healing space crack, Ah Zhi raised his hand and tore it apart again, making it big enough for people to pass through.

"Senior brother, I have made up my mind, you can go ahead."

"If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid the Holy Spirit will be resurrected."

Ah Zhi's tone sounded decisive: "There isn't much time..."

Taoist Huaiyue's lips moved slightly, and he was about to say something, but gave up.

At this moment, bursts of dense purple air suddenly descended, as if they were mist drifting from the sky, filling the entire space.

This purple energy seems ordinary, but it has the power to corrupt all things.

As soon as it appeared, everything around it seemed to have experienced millions of years in an instant and was weathered in an instant.

Moreover, the entire space seemed to be completely solidified by this purple energy, time seemed to have stopped, and everything became still.

Even the space cracks that had been broken before were instantly healed under the envelope of purple energy, as if they had never appeared before.

This sudden and strange sight made people a little unprepared, but at the same time it also made people feel a sense of inexplicable panic.

"Since you don't want to leave, then stay here."

A disembodied voice suddenly burst out from all directions.

Xie Que took a deep breath.

Unexpectedly, because of too much nonsense, I was actually left here.

The next moment, even the sky was smudged with purple energy. This scene shocked everyone present.

I saw the sky-like sea of ​​​​insects, like a vast expanse of clouds and mist, overwhelming the sky and the earth, rushing towards me.

It contains nearly infinite amounts of transformed blood animals.

These blood beasts are ferocious and terrifying, each one looks like a ferocious beast from ancient times, exuding a bloodthirsty aura.

At this time, Taoist Huaiyue and Xie Que were also ready.

Yuan magnetism surged up around the two of them, and they suddenly turned into a sea of ​​thunder.

The aura emanating from their bodies was so powerful that it seemed to tear the world apart.

Countless transformed blood animals were enveloped by the thunder and instantly turned into ashes.

"Moggallana... I didn't expect... that you would be so weak in this life."

Silent Zen courtyard, solemn atmosphere.

Suddenly, void corruption enveloped the surrounding areas, and all landscapes suddenly began to melt, as if being eroded by invisible demonic energy.

At the same time, a stooped monster about three feet tall with a sheep's head and body appeared in front of the three of them.

Its appearance is like a lone lamp in the darkness, which makes people shudder.

It has a sheep-headed body, its black and purple body is covered with complicated patterns, and its short and long hair shines with a noble luster.

It stood there quietly, as if looking down at the three people. Its aloof posture was like a predator that made people unable to resist or escape.

The goat-headed man raised his arm with only three thick fingers and snapped his fingers.

In an instant, the overwhelming mass of transformed blood beasts suddenly turned into bursts of black clouds and drifted away.

In an instant, the temperature dropped sharply.

When Xie Que was alert, he noticed that dark clouds were coming back around him, and even his body seemed to have some signs of being corrupted by the void.

The same was true for Taoist Huaiyue, and the two of them were immediately shocked.

Unexpectedly, the mere appearance of the Holy Spirit could cause such a huge reaction.

If it really comes to the world, it will only take a few decades to pull the entire sea of ​​​​the sky into the void category.

"This is fate. What does our strength and weakness have to do with you and me?" Ah Zhi said in a cold tone.

"If I'm weak, you'll be the one to blame!"

"If you are weak, I will kill you!"

"It's just that, after several reincarnations, which one have you ever won?"

As soon as these words came out, the laughter of the Holy Spirit stopped abruptly.

"Yes, I have indeed never defeated you."

"But you are too weak in this life..."

"So weak that I don't even know how to fail..."

The Holy Spirit's gaze passed through A Zhi in front and fell on Xie Que and Taoist Huaiyue:

"Is this...the helper you found?"

"It doesn't seem like much."

After the Holy Spirit finished speaking, he could see him lifting the sheep's hooves and slowly lowering them.

Xie Que's eyes suddenly turned around.

Suddenly he felt purple light flying in front of his eyes, and thousands of air currents were flying wildly. He felt like he was standing in the center of the storm, and the air currents around him were as sharp as knives.

Xie Que quickly raised his Buddha Palm, and with a thought in his mind, he directly used the Future Inanimate Palm to resist.

In an instant, a pair of cold eyes with murderous intent fell on him.

As the Holy Spirit wandered around, his figure suddenly stopped.

Taoist Huaiyue, who was offering the talisman, also stopped.

At this moment, Xie Que was the only one who could move.

Xie Que was a little horrified. Just as he took out his palm, the Holy Spirit had already bypassed A Zhi in front of him and attacked him and Taoist Huaiyue.

Suddenly, a strong force surged out of Xie Que's body.

The golden energy and blood shines on the earth like a bright sun.

His figure grew taller in an instant, as if integrated with the heaven and earth, exuding a powerful aura.

The rich energy and blood instantly flowed through his body like a surging torrent.

In his palm, three forces gathered together and were about to explode, pointing directly at the head of the Holy Spirit.

At this moment, Xie Que suddenly realized.

Within three feet of the Holy Spirit, time and space were distorted.

The entire palm begins to age, and the closer it gets, the faster this aging becomes.

What was even more shocking was that when the palm came before the Holy Spirit, the entire palm had turned into white bones. (End of chapter)
