Chapter 335 Hostility from Heaven, Earth and All Things
Zhou Heng once sent a wisp of his soul to that world where the soul visualization method was the main method. After returning, he not only brought back the merits but also the magic he learned in that world.
Although most of the magic methods did not conform to the rules of Da Qi and could not be used, the ghost puppetry, the visualization method of the Great Power Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva, and the magic he used in martial arts could be performed.
Moreover, because the wisp of his soul thought that descended to that world had become extremely strong when it returned, after merging with the main body, it directly pushed his main body's soul power to a level infinitely close to the fifth level of the sect.
With such soul power to perform puppetry, even if Shan Hui was a master at the top of the sixth level of the secret, he could not escape the fate of being refined into a puppet by Zhou Heng.
After a moment, the light in Shan Hui's eyes completely dimmed, but the next moment it returned to normal, with an expression of repentance on his face, and he knelt down in front of Zhou Heng with a plop.
The whole place was dead silent.
What's going on?
Everyone present was stunned, watching this scene in disbelief.
The shock they felt from this scene was greater than when they saw Shanhui being killed and resurrected by Zhou Heng.
How could Shanhui, who had just been fighting Zhou Heng to the death, suddenly kneel down?
No matter how hard people racked their brains, they could not figure out what was going on.
But then, something even more shocking happened.
After Shanhui knelt down, he kowtowed to Zhou Heng with great respect, shouting, "Master, I have come to my senses. I was wrong. I used the mission of preaching and teaching to deceive people with mystical magic. I deserve death!"
He actually admitted his mistake to Zhou Heng and said that what he had done before was a crime worthy of death.
The people around him were stunned.
In the restaurant in the distance.
Pei Luoling and others were also stunned. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Shanhui, who was kneeling on the ground, in disbelief. She could not understand the current situation at all.
Just now, Shanhui showed his immortality, which seemed to have made Zhou Heng helpless. Why did he suddenly kneel down to apologize and admit his mistakes?
This is totally unreasonable.
In fact, Shanhui has become Zhou Heng's puppet now. All his actions are controlled by Zhou Heng, but others don't know the obstacles and naturally can't understand.
"Please stand up." Zhou Heng smiled and helped Shanhui monk up.
He was cooperating with his puppet to act.
At this time, Zhou Heng and Shanhui monk looked like they didn't know each other until they fought, and they looked quite harmonious.
This made everyone present very confused.
Especially those who were infected by Shanhui monk's teachings before, they felt that their worldview collapsed.
Although Shanhui monk was killed by Zhou Heng for the first time, the influence he had previously exerted with his spiritual secrets had been eliminated, but he was a Buddhist monk of a certain level after all, and he was indeed talking about Buddhist scriptures. With so many people coming to listen to his lectures, naturally there would be people who agreed with his Buddhist teachings.
In the minds of these people, Shanhui is a genuine Buddhist monk with noble character, immeasurable merits, and saving people from suffering. Such a great monk should have an extremely firm mind. How could he get along with his previous enemies in a blink of an eye?
Are monks so fickle?
So far, the Buddhist teachings that Shanhui has worked hard to spread in Shangnan City have completely collapsed.
No one believes it anymore.
Many times, it is so simple to destroy a belief.
Just pull the leading benchmark figure off the altar, and everything will follow naturally.
Then, Zhou Heng manipulated the puppet Shanhui to say to everyone: "My fellow villagers, it was my fault before. I influenced you with spiritual secrets. Fortunately, this Taoist priest enlightened me. However, I have nothing to say here, so I will leave first."
After that, Zhou Heng manipulated the puppet Shanhui to fly into the air. Wrapped in golden light, he passed through the air and left Shangnan City directly.
After a moment of daze, everyone present looked at Zhou Heng with gratitude on their faces.
They wanted to rush over to thank him, but just as they moved, they saw Zhou Heng turned into a purple sword light and soared into the sky, passing through layers of white mist, through the clouds, and reaching the sky.
"This is a truly virtuous person!"
"Looking at his Taoist robe, he should be a disciple of Chunyang Palace. Are the immortals of Chunyang Palace coming to save us?"
"Our entire Yuzhou is shrouded in white mist, and the immortals of Chunyang Palace must know about it."
"Yuzhou is the hometown of Immortal Yan Shouyi, and Chunyang Palace will definitely not ignore us."
"We are about to be rescued, great, great!"
The entire Shangnan City was in unparalleled joy, and people looked at the purple sword light passing through the air and became excited.
In the restaurant.
Pei Luoling waved to the sword light flying in the air, wanting to say hello to Zhou Heng.
But the speed of the sword light was too fast. She just waved her hand twice, and the sword light disappeared without a trace.
"Woo..." Pei Luoling put down her hand, feeling a little frustrated.
At this moment, Zhou Heng's voice suddenly rang in her ears, "Miss Luoling, your father and brother are waiting outside the fog. Please take care of yourself and wait for the white fog to dissipate."
"Ah? Father, brother?" Pei Luoling was stunned when she heard it, and subconsciously raised her head, "Mr. Zhou, are you going to find a way to disperse this white fog? But..."
She had been in Shangnan City for a while, and learned about the situation of the white fog from various sources. Even the top four-grade grandmasters were helpless.
Zhou Heng is only at the level of the sixth level of the Secret Realm. Can he really do it?
"No, that's not right. Young Master Zhou is not an ordinary sixth level of the Secret Realm. He is the reincarnation of a great power and has many incredible means." Pei Luoling's eyes suddenly lit up when she thought of this. "Maybe, maybe there is really hope. Thank you, Young Master Zhou!"
She was very grateful in her heart. She planned to wait until the white fog dissipated and she regained her freedom, then she would go to Zhou Heng and repay him for saving her life this time.
...
After Zhou Heng left Shangnan City, he took the puppet Shanhui to another neighboring city.
Yangsong City.
The situation here is similar to that of Shangnan City. There is also a monk in the Real Gang Realm who is preaching and secretly using spiritual secrets to influence the minds of the listeners.
However, the monk who preached in Yangsong City was less advanced than Shanhui in cultivation, and the number of believers gathered when he preached was much smaller, and the momentum was not as great as that of Shangnan City.
But even so, Zhou Heng, standing in the sky above Yangsong City, could still clearly see the center of the city, where there were crowds of people around the lecture platform, with at least 50,000 people listening.
Such a huge number will inevitably lead to a surge in the speed of spread. Maybe in three or five days, the number of people listening to the lecture will swell to 100,000 or even more.
However, Zhou Heng did not personally go down this time, but manipulated the puppet Shanhui to let him land.
At this time, in the center of Yangsong City, on the lecture platform.
Shankong, a disciple of Jiaye Temple, was giving a lecture, and the people below the stage were fascinated.
Suddenly, a figure wrapped in golden light fell from the sky and fell heavily beside Shankong, shaking the void and causing a sudden gust of wind, and even the lecture platform sank a little.
Shankong's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked around in astonishment, looking at the sudden figure.
The people listening to the lecture below also looked up at the stage in surprise, and many of them even had anger in their eyes, wanting to see who was so bold as to interrupt Master Shankong's lecture.
But when people saw the figure on the lecture platform, they were stunned. Even Shankong, who was interrupted, was stunned and stared at this person with wide eyes.
"Shan, Brother Shanhui, why are you here?" Shankong was shocked and scared. He didn't expect Shanhui to come back here at all, and he was also afraid that Shanhui was here to snatch people from him.
Among the secret sixth-grade warriors of Jiaye Temple, Shanhui's strength is undoubtedly one of the best and extremely difficult to deal with.
In Shankong's eyes, Shanhui came here at this time, most likely because he had completed the task of converting people in Shangnan City and came to his side to snatch the people who were converted.
This is to pick peaches and grab credit!
Shankong made such a judgment of Shanhui in his heart.
But Shanhui was stronger after all, and they were from the same sect, so he didn't dare to take action directly. He could only flatter on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking about how to expel Shanhui from Yangsong Mansion as soon as possible.
However, before he opened his mouth, Shanhui had already walked up, stood on the edge of the preaching platform, and said loudly to the people in front of him: "Fellow villagers, Buddhism harms people, don't listen to it casually!"
Shankong was stunned on the spot, looking at Shanhui in disbelief, what was he doing?
We are all Buddhists, and we are all disciples of Jiaye Temple. Why did you suddenly come here and say that Buddhism harms people?
Aren't you afraid of being punished by the ancestors?
The people under the preaching platform were even more confused, and they all widened their eyes and looked at Shanhui with confusion.
What's going on?
Another monk from Jiaye Temple is denying Buddhism?
—— Shanhui's monk robe is the same as Shankong's, and the shape is similar. Even ordinary people can see that they are from the same temple.
Such a sudden change caused an uproar among the people below the lecture platform, further weakening the interference of Shankong's already unreliable spiritual secret method, and soon some people woke up.
Shanhui suddenly appeared, saying that Buddhism harms people -
This situation is completely unimaginable to many people who have just been converted by Shankong, and their worldview is about to collapse.
Those who were originally infatuated with the truth of Buddhism, after just being stunned and shocked, suddenly woke up as if from a dream, and looked around in amazement.
Some people even woke up more thoroughly, and stood up directly and wanted to leave.
Above the sky, Zhou Heng quietly watched the scene below and nodded slightly.
Facts have proved that letting the Buddhists come on stage to dismantle the stage is much more effective than doing it yourself.
Immediate results.
Just now, Shanhui's puppet just said a few simple words, and destroyed a lecture of tens of thousands of people without bloodshed, and also maintained the subsequent stability of the city.
"However, should I kill this monk dozens of times to get some copper lucky bags?" Zhou Heng had an idea in his mind.
Shanhui had benefited him a lot before. Although the monk could not get lucky bags after he was close to a mental breakdown, he still got thirty-three copper lucky bags.
The monk in Yangsongfu City is now slightly weaker than Shanhui, and his mental will is probably not as strong as Shanhui, but he should be able to get more than twenty copper lucky bags.
This is a big temptation.
Zhou Heng's eyes lit up, looking at Shankong below, as if he was looking at a huge treasure, but he immediately sobered up, shook his head, and said to himself: "I can't do this."
If you indulge in getting lucky bags and killing people without limit, it is easy to get lost, which is why he didn't challenge everywhere for lucky bags before.
Besides, Yan Shouyi is still in a stalemate with the second-grade Daoist master of Jiaye Temple. He should disintegrate the power of Jiaye Temple in Yuzhou as quickly as possible.
So Zhou Heng did not hesitate and used puppetry again.
At this time, Shankong, who was about to question the monk Shanhui on the preaching platform, suddenly froze. The light in his eyes dimmed and then lit up again. He suddenly nodded and responded to Shanhui: "Brother is right. Buddhism does harm people. Abandoning your family and children is unfaithful and unfilial. You should not learn it."
Zhou Heng did not understand Buddhism. Anyway, he was just talking nonsense and belittling it in order to disintegrate the power of Jiaye Temple in Yuzhou.
Shankong's sudden change of mind shocked people more than Shanhui's sudden appearance. Those who had just woken up left directly, and those who had not woken up just saw this situation and woke up one after another.
Soon, those who were listening carefully under the preaching platform stood up and left with a look of disgust.
In the huge city of Yangsong, the number of Buddhist believers suddenly became very few. Shankong's "efforts" for half a month became nothing in the blink of an eye.
Then, Zhou Heng manipulated two puppets to fly up and moved to another city. He repeated the same trick and easily disintegrated the local Jiaye Temple power again, and at the same time harvested a monk puppet.
Next, he took three monk puppets to "kill all directions". Wherever he went, the power of Jiaye Temple collapsed. No one could stand the self-depreciation of three "insiders".
After just three days, most of the Jiaye Temple power in the entire Yuzhou collapsed.
This was because Zhou Heng's flying speed was not fast enough, and a lot of time was spent on the road. Otherwise, the Jiaye Temple power in the entire Yuzhou might have been cleared out.
However, as the number of Jiaye Temples cleared increased, Zhou Heng always felt heavy in his heart, as if an extremely powerful will was staring at him, and he felt a deep sense of crisis.
Finally, when he arrived at Yuzhou County City and wanted to clear out the forces of the Jiaye Temple here, the blue sun hanging high in the sky suddenly expanded, and the sound of Sanskrit chanting resounded throughout the world.
The void around Zhou Heng suddenly changed. Whether it was the vitality of heaven and earth, or the Dao rhyme and law, or even the real matter, they all seemed to come alive and burst out with extremely strong hostility towards him.
At this moment, under the radiance of the blue sun, Zhou Heng felt as if he was being targeted by everything in this world, being rejected by the rules of heaven and earth, and being punished by heaven!
