Chapter 370 Purple light lingers in the room, thunder and lightning dim

The great world of Yuanmang.

From a small rural temple, several vicious officials came out. They were using chains to hook a few monks in rags, dragging them staggering forward.

The leading middle-aged man was wearing a black official uniform, with his hands behind his back. He looked around, watching the tiger step, and all the passers-by avoided to the sides.

Looking at the onlookers casually, the middle-aged man said coldly: "Fellow fellow villagers, the court has a law that prohibits worshiping evil monks. However, you have been deceived by these evil monks this time and tried to learn from the evil methods. Gaining a profit is already a serious crime!”

These words made the surrounding villagers look at each other in panic. Some people remembered that there was once a county town that was directly massacred by the court because of privately practicing evil arts. Thinking of the fate of themselves and others, their legs became weak. He knelt down involuntarily.

Seeing the reaction of the villagers, the middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction and softened his tone: "But if you can take the initiative to inform the Yamen this time, it is a good and bad thing, so you can take care of yourself in the future."

After a pause, he pointed at the embarrassed monks and said, "Look, if the magic spells are as powerful as they claim, why can't I get through Sanhe under my captor's hand? Those magic spells hit me." It’s like tickling Ben’s head!”

Hearing this, the villagers suddenly realized and said something was wrong. It turned out to be like this. Those masters, no, demon monks, used to set fireballs and freeze ice cubes. They looked wonderful, but now they are Ren Datou was beaten down with just a few movements of his hands. Those fairy magic, uh, demonic magic, evil magic! It seems that they are all just pretending and not very powerful!

Ren Baotou emphasized: "Furthermore, I am only an innate warrior, a shaman from the same place. There are also divine masters, refining masters, and martial arts saints. There are state yamen arresters, provincial yamen arresters, and more." There are six chief catchers in the capital. Compared with them, the strength of this catcher is like an ant on the ground compared with the sun in the sky. Think about it carefully. No matter how strong you learn these evil and evil spells, you can fight them. Pass them?"

At this time, the villagers were shocked. Ren Baotou, who had shown such incomparable power just now, could only be regarded as a nobody in the entire court. There were many people above him who were hundreds and thousands of times stronger than him. Although his martial arts training was very They are fairly clear about the level, but it only appears on paper. In the countryside, it is not so easy to see masters.

Finally, Ren Baotou said earnestly and sincerely: "So fellow villagers, practicing martial arts is the way to heaven. You must not let evil and demonic methods blind your mind. As long as any family has a good martial artist, it will have no worries about food and clothing."

The villagers nodded repeatedly, remembering the past when they were deceived by those stinky monks. They picked up stones, rotten vegetable leaves, etc. and threw them at the monks. While throwing them, they shouted: "Kill you stinky monks!" "

"Kill the demon monk!"

"Burn them!"

…

Behind the excited villagers, there was a tall and a short figure wearing a bamboo hat and wearing ordinary ge-colored linen clothes. They quietly lowered their heads and did not look at the scene in front of them.

After the monks were taken away by Captain Ren and the villagers dispersed, the two men mingled among them and returned to a long-abandoned thatched hut at the head of the village that could neither shelter from wind nor rain.

The two took off their bamboo hats, but they were one old and one young. The old one was seventy or eighty years old, and the younger one was only eighty-nine years old. Their hair was very short. They were not like other villagers, but more like monks who had just returned to secular life.

The old man, with two long white eyebrows and a face full of wrinkles, frowned and sighed: "Hey, I didn't expect that in such a small rural place, there is no place for my Buddhist school to have a foothold in the mountains. When the water comes, those comrades have already been arrested by the government. Are they really going to dangerous places controlled by monsters, where people are raised as food? "

"Master, do you want to save those senior brothers?" Although the little novice monk is young, he has followed the master for a long journey, and his face has lost a lot of childishness.

The old monk laughed self-deprecatingly: "Since the Arhat's golden body was broken into pieces, I am now a useless person. How can I have the ability to save them? Huiyuan, if you practice well and open up the six senses one by one, you will be able to meet them when you meet them in the future." Only when things like this happen can we have the strength to save people.”

The young novice monk Huiyuan nodded, but he was a little restless and moved around.

Seeing this, the old monk smiled and said, "Huiyuan, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask?"

Huiyuan then looked at the master sheepishly and said: "Master, this disciple is still ignorant. There were quite a few of those senior brothers who were enlightened just now, but under that catcher Ren, there was no resistance at all." , After I successfully practice my Buddhist skills, can I really fight against those martial arts experts?" There was deep confusion and fear in his tone, as if he was frightened by the battle just now.

Eyes, ears, mouth, nose, body and mind are the six consciousnesses. Only when the six consciousnesses are united can the golden body of Arhat be built, and the seventh consciousness, manas consciousness, be produced.

After hearing Huiyuan's question, the old monk sighed thoughtfully, as if it brought back distant memories: "Of course, I can. I think when I came to the courtyard in its heyday, there was a Buddha, eighteen Bodhisattvas, and three hundred Arhats. Among those masters, martial saints, and even immortals, none of them are polite to me as a Buddhist, and many of them are even more fawning."

Huiyuan heard the master talk about the past for the first time. He raised his head and asked with curiosity and pessimism: "But why is our Buddhist sect so miserable now? Why don't any Bodhisattvas and Buddhas come to save us?"

"Hey, according to Buddhist scriptures, it should be the Age of Ending Dharma. That's why those who cultivate the physical body are so powerful. On the other hand, our Buddhist sect, as well as that sect, are declining step by step, and now they don't even have a foothold." The old monk didn't understand the reasons for the changes in the past thousand years. He could only take it for granted that the Age of Ending Dharma mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures had come.

Huiyuan repeated twice: "The age of the end of the Dharma, the age of the end of the Dharma. Master, what should we do?! Then we have no way out?! Master, won't your old man's injury be healed?" It can be seen that for the old monk, Huiyuan has a strong feeling of admiration.

The old monk was comforting, smiled, and touched Huiyuan's head: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. The Buddhist scriptures also say, 'When the Dharma ends in the future, a Buddha will descend from the sky.' At that time, we will be able to get out of the Dharma Ending Age and return to the world again." Open the Dharma.”

"When the Dharma ends in the future, a Buddha will descend from the outer heaven. When the Dharma ends in the future, a Buddha will descend from the outer heaven..." Huiyuan seemed to have found support, repeating it repeatedly. By then, the Buddha will be able to cure the master's injury. ?

………

In the city of Laiyangfu, eight large logs were erected at the entrance of the vegetable market, and eight monks in rags were tied to them. They were all dejected and chanting the Buddha's name in a low voice.

Captain Ren stood respectfully behind a young man in official uniform: "Master Magistrate, the time has come for execution."

The young master nodded gently, stood up, and threw down the red stick in his hand: "Eight demon monks, in a private temple, teach demonic methods without regard for the imperial court, and they deserve to be punished for their crimes."

The executioners below listened to the order and each picked up a basin of black dog blood and poured it on the eight monks.

The eight monks had already begged for mercy in the past few days. Knowing that begging for mercy was useless at this time, they could only recite Buddhist scriptures: "When the Dharma ends in the future, a Buddha will descend from the sky..."

"Huh, it's been hundreds and thousands of years, but their Buddha has never come." The young master shook his head and sneered. If you want to gain greater merit, you must not only unify the world, but also unify people's hearts and practice methods. Taoism and Buddhism appeared.

Ren Baotou glanced at the young master and said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, what you said is true. I hear about the future of the end of the world every day. There is a Buddha descending from the sky. My ears are almost calloused when I hear it. I haven't seen it yet." Until the Buddha appears."

For this magistrate, it is very good for him to be arrested, not because he is the magistrate, nor because he is a master of divine will, but just because he is the favorite youngest son of King Zhennan! And King Zhennan is one of the few immortals in the world!

Zhuo Tiannan didn't say anything more. He looked down at him and after pouring the black dog's blood, he picked up a hundred-forged steel knife and chopped off the heads of the eight monks.

The head fell to the ground, blood spurted out several feet high, and the chanting of "When the Dharma ends in the future, a Buddha will descend from the sky..." suddenly stopped.

The people surrounding the market entrance were talking animatedly, but two figures wearing bamboo hats quietly withdrew from the crowd and walked out of the city gate.

"Master, where are we going?"

"Go south, to a place where the court's control is less strict."

On the other side, there was a beggar with disheveled hair, holding a tattered wine gourd to his mouth, and laughing maniacally: "The Age of the End of the Dharma, hey, it is really the Age of the End of the Dharma!" There was a deep desolation in the madness.

In the famous mountains, in the countryside, by the river... the same scene appeared repeatedly. Monks and Taoist priests were driven out of the dilapidated temples and Taoist temples. Some were killed, some became beggars, and some Some are crazy, and some rely on the skills or magic of the three-legged cat to earn a living, such as telling fortunes on the street and deceiving foolish men and women.

…………

Luoxia Mountain, where the Daohua Sect is located, was filled with flames and smoke. The place that was originally beautiful and fairyland suddenly became like hell.

There were many Taoist disciples lying on the ground, as well as many corpses dressed as officers and soldiers. However, there were only a few Taoist disciples, so how could they compare with the officers and soldiers coming from all over the mountains and plains, not to mention those who had reached the innate realm and condensed their Gang Qi to fly into the sky. The warrior came.

A golden elixir master was about to use Taoist magic to kill all the officers and soldiers, but a tall warrior in the sky punched him. With the punch, seven acupoints appeared on his body. , white brilliance rose up, forming a majestic giant tiger on his body.

The fist faintly overlapped with the giant tiger's mouth, spanned a distance of hundreds of miles, and hit the golden elixir master. His protective Taoist skills, spiritual weapons, and divine light all shattered with a squeak, allowing the fist to hit directly. On his body.

Bang, the golden elixir master's physical body disintegrated, and his soul was swallowed by the giant tiger. His body died and he faintly roared: "Martial Prime Saint!"

In the back hall of Luoxia Hall, a beautiful woman who was pregnant with Liujia was looking at the others with tears streaming down her face: "Father, mother, let's run away together!"

The middle-aged monk sighed: "I didn't expect that our Daohua Sect would not be able to escape the imperial court's annihilation if we retreated to a remote place in southern Xinjiang. Today, the King of Zhennan sent a Martial Saint here. If you don't kill me as the leader, you My wife, the head of the family, and all those Jindan masters will definitely not give up. If we escape with you, we will only harm you. Why not stop the pursuers here so that you can escape through the secret passage."

After a pause, he smiled calmly: "Besides, I, Wei Kuanfu, am the head of the Daohua Sect. If I escape at this time, it will be very embarrassing for the disciples who died for the sect. How can I live up to the ancestors of all generations."

And the young woman who was equally beautiful and looked like a sister to the crying woman touched the woman's head with a kind smile: "Pei Ning, after you escape, go to the border between Tiannan Province and Southern Xinjiang. I will take refuge with your uncle in Jiyi Town. Don’t mention anything about spiritual practice in the future. Just raise your child safely and let him practice martial arts.”

Fortunately, my younger brother has no talent for cultivation and has nothing to do with Taoism. Otherwise, the world is so big and I don’t know where to go! Mrs. Wei, who had achieved the golden elixir after practicing for more than 130 years, was somewhat fortunate to think that she also gave him some life-extending elixirs. She thought that if her brother lived to be 150 years old, it would not be a problem, and he would be able to take care of his daughter and grandson. decades.

"Mom, daddy." Wei Peining cried out.

Head Wei glanced at his favorite disciple Gu Canghai, smiled lightly and said: "Canghai, take Pei Ning and leave quickly. The inheritance of Daohua Sect will depend on you in the future."

Gu Canghai, who was in the Soul Stage, shouted hoarsely: "Master..."

"Come on, I, Kuanfu Wei, don't have a mother-in-law or a mother, so I can be a disciple like a daughter." Head Wei waved his sleeves and looked impatient.

Gu Canghai immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Master, take care." Then Wei Peining, who was reluctant to leave, headed for the secret passage. The reason why he didn't need to teleport was because he was afraid that space fluctuations would attract the attention of the Martial Saint.

Seeing his daughter and son-in-law enter the secret passage, Wei Kuanfu laughed and said, "Xiang Rong, I would like to accompany my husband to meet the martial saint for a while."

Mrs. Wei smiled sweetly: "I have long wanted to test how strong the Martial Saint is."

The two of them walked to the main hall hand in hand, with a leisurely attitude, as if they were going to a banquet for exchanges of Taoism and Dharma.

"I remember that when I first started, our Daohua Sect was still in the East County, but now it is in the Southern Xinjiang. It's really unpredictable."

"Haha, when I started, you were already in the stage of entrainment, but you were still looking at others stupidly."

"Hehe, you are so lustful and admire Shaoai."

"You, it's true that the situation is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change."

"At that time, hey, at that time, the master, master, uncle, uncle, brother, and brother were the only ones who could survive until now. You and I were the only ones alive. The others all died at the hands of the imperial court."

"It seems that we cannot escape our fate. I hope that Canghai and Pei Ning will not be involved in Taoist affairs in the future."

"Don't be so depressed. Doesn't it say in the Taoist scriptures, 'When the Dharma comes to an end, a saint will appear'? Maybe my grandson, Wei Kuanfu, will be able to see a saint born and the Taoist sect prosper again."

"You, you are such a tough talker. Hey, actually I want to see it too."

…

Due to the distance, the voices of the two people reaching the back hall became smaller and smaller, and gradually became silent. The entire back hall became extremely quiet, until the huge sound of fighting came from the front.

…………

An inconspicuous hill in the remnants of Luoxia Mountain.

When Gu Canghai and Wei Peining came out of the hidden valley, they looked back to the south and happened to see a huge white tiger roaring in virtual form on the top of the mountain, the sound shaking the sky.

"Father, mother." Wei Peining muttered to herself in grief.

Gu Canghai took a deep breath: "Ningmei, we must leave quickly. Only by living well can we continue to practice and hope to avenge our master and my wife."

Wei Peining took a deep breath after hearing this, and the sadness on her face disappeared, leaving only determination: "Brother Canghai, let's go north to Jiyi Town."

"Yeah, but let's go around in a circle first to avoid being tagged." Gu Canghai nodded.

One of them is in the spirit stage and the other is in the qi-entraining stage. They have both developed true qi, but at this time they are surrounded by enemies on all sides. If they use the light or earth escape technique rashly, they will only be killed, so the two people use the magic technique. , Hidden Qi, invisible, and cautiously headed toward the northeast.

The Luoxia Mountain formation has been broken, and there are officers and soldiers everywhere chasing Taoist disciples. Although most of those officers and soldiers are just training their bodies and nourishing their energy, the Taoist disciples who can escape alive are all low-level disciples who are looked down upon by the masters who attacked the mountain. Monk.

Although a small number of them were gifted with small magical powers, their souls were not strong. They used it more than ten or twenty times and killed about ten officers and soldiers before they were powerless. Then they were swarmed by the remaining dozens of officers and soldiers and their bodies were torn apart with random swords.

Seeing the tragic situation of their fellow disciples, Gu Canghai and Wei Peining couldn't bear the anger and grief in their hearts. They tried to save people several times, but were frightened back by the innate warriors and divine masters flying in the sky.

Gritting their teeth, the two of them walked more and more secluded. When they turned around the mouth of the valley and were about to escape from the pursuit, a long laugh suddenly sounded from the front: "I didn't expect that I, Mao Shaowu, was a little late, but I caught a big fish." Gu Canghai, The top master of the younger generation of Daohua Sect, the most promising figure in the cultivation world to achieve high-grade golden elixir. Hehe, the cultivation world and Daohua Sect are useless, and they were killed by the King of Zhennan. "

A young warrior with a long body and luxurious robes came out from behind the valley and stood in front of the two of them. At the same time, he emitted a powerful aura from afar, locking Gu Canghai and Wei Peining in place. The two people's invisibility and concealing energy failed.

"The person who can evade my spiritual consciousness detection seems to be a master with perfect divine will series, and his will is integrated into the Gang Qi." Gu Canghai used his spiritual consciousness to say to Wei Peining, "Ningmei, I will entangle him, you first Let’s go and meet at the edge of the wild forest.”

The escape route chosen by the two people is very particular. Not far from the valley here is a wild giant forest. There is a big demon sitting in it. The men of Zhennan King dare not enter rashly. Once they reach the edge of the place, they will be safe for the time being. Instead of going deeper, they can still do it by quietly following the edge to the north with their magic skills.

Wei Peining knew that her strength was too far behind, and her soul was suppressed by the martial arts will. Not only could she not be able to help her husband, but she would also become a drag, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Then Peining is waiting for you there. See you there." You will never leave."

As soon as Gu Canghai's natal magical weapon, the Canghai Sword, turned into a blue wave and slashed towards Mao Shaowu, Mao Shaowu sneered, and the protective white aura emerged, wrapped around a large golden ring sword, and greeted the Canghai Sword. Wei Peining followed Taking advantage of this opportunity, he used his earth escape technique and headed to the back of the valley.

Mao Shaowu was not in a hurry. He clenched his fist with his left hand and used the Gang Qi to hit a certain location on the ground. However, at this time, Gu Canghai's technique had already attacked. Mao Shaowu had to block the Gang Qi towards the technique, but in his heart he felt He made up his mind to kill Gu Canghai first. The woman who was still pregnant during the air induction period would be easily captured by then.

…………

Wei Peining waited anxiously at the edge of the wild forest, fearing that her husband would be killed. After a quarter of an hour, a blue light flew over very quickly and landed in front of her, letting her breathe a sigh of relief.

But the blue light disappeared, and when Gu Canghai's figure was revealed, he fell to the ground softly, with blood pouring from his mouth.

"Brother Canghai! Husband! How are you?" After Wei Peining shouted twice, he was not at a loss. Instead, he cheered up, gave Gu Canghai pills, and used spells to heal his injuries.

Gu Canghai woke up leisurely and said with a smile: "I did not break the promise. I have killed Mao Shaowu, but I am afraid it will take several months to recover from the injury. I will worry about you Ningmei next."

Seeing that her husband's life was not in danger, Wei Peining breathed a sigh of relief and smiled comfortingly: "Brother Canghai, don't worry, I am also a master of the Qi-entraining stage." She wrapped her energy around her and carried her husband on her back, eliminating all traces of Qi. , just go north along the edge.

…………

Not to mention all the difficulties and dangers along the way, Wei Peining, a girl who had been pampered since childhood, suffered a lot and suffered many injuries. Finally, she carried her husband on her back to a ruined temple outside Jiyi Town. The two decided to rest for a day. , I’ll come back tomorrow.

"Husband, what are our future arrangements?" Wei Peining leaned against her husband and asked about the future.

Gu Canghai said without hesitation: "Let's stay away from the edge for now. When the child reaches seven or eight years old, we will sharpen the Taoist heart for the soul and the golden elixir respectively."

Wei Peining looked at the moonlight coming from the big hole above the ruined temple and said quietly: "Dad always said that when the Dharma comes to an end, a saint will emerge. I don't know if it is true or not?"

Gu Canghai said categorically: "It must be true." Only in this way can revenge be possible. .

After hearing Gu Canghai's answer, Wei Peining nodded firmly with the same expression, but she suddenly said: "Husband, purple clouds appear in the sky?!"

Gu Canghai had not yet recovered from his injuries, so he reluctantly raised his head and looked up: "No, has it passed?"

"Maybe."

…………

The next day, Fang Mansion in Jiyi Town.

"Miss Cousin, my old man, eldest master, and eldest young master are not in the mansion. They happen to be out. You guys will stay here temporarily." The chief steward of Fang Mansion pointed to the secluded yard in front of him with a smile and said to Gu Canghai and Wei Peining.

Wei Peining was about to expose his lies, but Gu Canghai pulled her and said first, "Thank you, housekeeper. We will meet again when uncle returns home."

After the butler left, Wei Peining said to her husband: "I have obviously felt the aura of my uncle, cousin and nephew, but they said they are not here. Even if they are not here, it is only natural for me to go visit my sister-in-law."

Gu Canghai smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe uncle and the others are afraid that we will cause trouble. Forget it, the baby will be born in a few days. After he is born and raised for a few days, we will find another place. Even if we don't use magic, with your The two of us can't support ourselves anywhere."

Wei Peining said with a hint of hatred: "When I collected the elixir, I didn't think it would be a disaster."

…………

In the study room of Fang Mansion.

The old man of the Fang family, who was over a hundred years old but still looked like he was only sixty or seventy years old, sighed: "You are a sinner, how can you let me live up to my eldest sister? How can I face her underground after I die?"

He only had a son in his later years, but the eldest father of the Fang family, who was in his late fifties, said coldly: "Dad, if you help them, it will destroy our family. Aren't our lives not our lives?"

The old man of the Fang family was silent for a while and then said: "If you don't say it, and I don't say it, who would have thought?"

"The noses of those martial arts masters are sharper than dogs!" said the eldest son of the Fang family, who is in his thirties, "and if we report this matter to the government, the benefits we can get are not just pills, but maybe you Grandpa, don’t you want your great-grandson to be accepted as a disciple by some divine master or even a master of refining?”

"No, don't mention this matter! At most, drive them away!" The old man of the Fang family was furious, stood up suddenly, and kicked out his son and grandson.

After leaving the study, the eldest master of the Fang family looked at the eldest young master of the Fang family, nodded approvingly and said, "Or do you know your grandpa well and know that he will give in and tell the truth, do you really want to do it?"

"Of course, but not now, so as not to alarm others. Wait until the limelight has passed and grandpa doesn't pay attention before going. It's done and he has nothing to say. And it will be the time when her cousin is giving birth, so she won't be able to escape." Fang's family The eldest young master said viciously.

The eldest man of the Fang family nodded and suddenly laughed: "Aren't you afraid of the revenge of those Taoist priests? Your aunt was extremely strong back then, and your cousin and her husband were not weak either."

"Dad, haven't you seen it clearly yet? This is the age of the end of the Dharma. We practice martial arts and train our bodies. How can we be better than Taoist priests! Huh, it's a joke that the Dharma is coming and the saints are coming." The eldest young master of the Fang family has a conceited look. First class.

…………

Five days later at dusk, Wei Peining's fetus moved and Gu Canghai was seriously injured. Neither of them was able to use their consciousness or spiritual sense to explore the surrounding situation.

Near the small courtyard, many officers and soldiers were ambushed, including many innate warriors and a master of divine will. This master of divine will was the deputy general of King Zhennan who was stationed in Lingxin Mansion. After he knew the news, he hid the news from other colleagues and secretly came to Jiyi Town with his private guards. He wanted to monopolize this skill, but a spiritual soul seriously injured the monk. , a pregnant woman who is about to give birth is not yet at her fingertips.

The three members of the Fang family and some family members were waiting in a nearby yard. There were the old man and his family members of the Fang family who didn't know the situation and were concerned about Wei Peining, and there were also the eldest man and young master of the Fang family who knew the situation and were excited and uneasy.

Wei Peining was a Qi-inducing monk, so naturally she didn't invite Wen Po. She worked hard on her own to give birth to the child, while Gu Canghai waited anxiously in front of the screen.

Suddenly, the originally bright sky suddenly darkened, billowing dark clouds gathered, and then a streak of purple clouds broke out from the dark clouds, falling like a meteor into the room where Wei Peining was.

As the purple clouds disappeared, rolling thunder came from the dark clouds, all kinds of thunder lights appeared simultaneously, and thousands of silver snakes danced wildly, it was so spectacular.

This change in the celestial phenomena shocked the watching Fang family and the masters who were lying in wait.

Wei Peining was half awake and half dazed when she suddenly felt a ray of purple clouds coming into her arms. Then she suddenly woke up, her stomach lightened, and the whole room was suddenly filled with purple light and a strange fragrance.

Purple light lingered in the room, and outside there were thousands of silver snakes and all kinds of thunderous lights. The huge thunder suddenly stopped, the dark clouds dissipated, and a ray of bright sunlight appeared.

Seeing this strange situation, Gu Canghai turned to the screen and, together with Wei Peining who woke up, looked at the baby sitting on a sacred golden bridge in front of him in surprise, with blossoming golden lotus protecting him, boundless purple light surrounding his body, and bursts of strange fragrance. .

The baby opened his eyes suddenly, half black and half white, jumped off the golden bridge, walked seven steps in all directions, then pointed one finger to the sky and the other to the ground, and uttered eight words:

"I am the only one in heaven and under heaven!"
