Chapter 398 Buddha Beads
Gong Wuguang led them outside. After taking two steps, he stopped and told Jin Rong, "Ah Rong, you stay here. When the people from the Ministry of Finance come, you can deal with it."

"Understood." Jin Rong responded.

After that, Gong Wuguang took Li Chuan, Wu Kong, Wen Guying and the three of them to the secret room again. After closing the door, he said with some emotion: "Since I discovered this secret room, I have only used it ten times in the past few decades. And now, in less than a year, I have come several times."

"This will be the case after the calamity begins." Wen Guying said.

Gong Wuguang nodded slightly, took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, and said, "Fellow Daoist Wen, please stand in the Kun position, facing me."

Wen Guying followed his words and stood over.

Gong Wuguang then arranged: "Li Chuan, Master Wu Kong, you will sit on the two futons in the middle."

Li Chuan Wu Kong walked to his seat and sat down.

Gong Wuguang said: "You can chant sutras just like before and ring the pot. You don't have to worry about what happened. Fellow Daoist Wen and I are here for everything. If I don't tell you to stop, don't stop."

Li Chuan and Wu Kong both expressed their understanding.

Wen Guying said: "Can Buddhist scriptures suppress the Devouring Spirits?"

Gong Wuguang waved his sleeves, and the fragments of the Devouring Soul were gathered together again, and then returned to the jade bottle.

After taking out the Tianyin pot, Li Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Master Wu Kong, you chant the sutra first, and then I will use the pot's sound to match it with yours."

The gentle and gentle sound of the pot gradually merges with the sound of chanting sutras.

After listening to the scriptures for a while, Li Chuan felt something in his heart and clicked the Tianyin pot with his thumb. The sound of the pot and the chanting soon blended together.

"Okay." Wu Kong immediately closed his eyes and chanted.

Wen Guying looked at Gong Wuguang and asked, "Now you can tell me. What do you want to prove?"

Gong Wuguang said: "That's what I guessed, but it's definitely not possible for ordinary monks. Just now, their voices matched each other and triggered the barrier outside the temple. I just rearranged that barrier based on some of the characteristics of the Devouring Souls not long ago. . So it is speculated that Master Wu Kong’s chanting can also have an impact on the Devouring Soul.”

This time, there was no monster to deal with, so Li Chuan focused all his attention on the ripples of the pot sound and the sound of chanting. He gradually felt the difference in the sound of Wu Kong's chanting. There seemed to be a special rhythm contained in the syllables, which caused countless invisible lines. When the sound of the pot matched it, the ups and downs of the ripples also changed accordingly.

"It's useful." Gong Wuguang said.

Wen Guying said: "In Qingtan County, when Orion and his sister were hiding in the mountains, they also met a monk."

Gong Wuguang said: "In the soul-eating case, Zhang Xintong asked people around and invited Master Tingdeng, but Master Tingdeng said that his family was hopeless and that only by becoming a monk could he avoid the disaster."

Gong Wuguang said: "Master Tingdeng and I sat across from each other all night. When I mentioned the fate of Orion's sister, he looked a little moved, but he only chanted the Buddha's name and then said nothing again."

Li Chuan was keenly aware that something had crashed into the ripples. The Devouring Spirit trembled, then contracted inward, and finally suddenly expanded, then fluttered and burst.

Gong Wuguang gently held the jade bottle with his hand. A small group of translucent Devouring Souls floated out from the mouth of the bottle. After floating into the air, Gong Wuguang unlocked the seal that bound the Devouring Souls.

"Let Master Tingdeng come and listen. Maybe he will be willing to speak." Wen Guying said.

Gong Wuguang shook his head and said, "I'm not sure whether it's Master Tingdeng alone who has the problem, or Mount Sumeru."

"It can't be Mount Sumeru," Wen Guying was sure. "If there is a problem with Mount Sumeru, you will never be able to stop him. Although Mount Sumeru's strength is not obvious, its inheritance is longer than that of the Four Gods Palace. You are not like this I have been in the sects... These sects may indulge one person, or even the same lineage, to make some attempts, but it is impossible for the entire sect. "Is the same true for the Four Gods Palace?" Gong Wuguang asked.

"Isn't that what I am?" Wen Guying said, "I have put myself in danger and have close contacts with Qin Tianjian. In the eyes of others, there is probably no difference between my actions and Master Xiao Tingdeng's actions."

Wen Guying glanced at Gong Wuguang again: "In Xuanmen, these behaviors are not out of the ordinary. On the contrary, you neither established a sect nor joined a sect, but became an official in the court... If you Forget it if you use the luck of the dynasty to cultivate. If you don’t even care about this, what are you planning?”

"Don't you know?" Gong Wuguang said.

"Just checking." Wen Guying said.

Neither of them spoke anymore, and they seemed to be immersed in the sound of the pot and chanting.

The sound of the pot has completely merged with the sound of chanting, and the spiritual energy is rippling in the ripples. Wu Kong and Li Chuan are both covered with a hazy light.

Wu Kong could vaguely feel the ups and downs of ripples through the sound of the pot. He became more focused.

The light from their bodies reflected on the black jade, spreading out in circles, intertwining various shadows.

After a while, Gong Wuguang said: "I have asked Master Tingdeng to move next door. He should be able to hear some of the movements here."

Wen Guying said: "Let's release more Devouring Spirits."

Gong Wuguang hesitated.

Wen Guying put his hand on the hilt of the sword and pulled out the Tianqi Sword slightly. The gemstone shone, and red light flowed on the cracks in the sword body. He said, "They can't escape from here."

Gong Wuguang nodded. He held the jade bottle upside down. After shaking it for a few times, some crisp knocking sounds came from the bottle. Not long after, a burst of gray smoke spilled out from the mouth of the bottle, quickly filling the entire secret room. .

Li Chuan felt many fish falling into the ripples. He followed the light and concentrated on it. The light and shadow in front of his eyes changed. The invisible thread that aroused spiritual power that he had only vaguely felt before became tangible and clear in his eyes.

The connected soul-devouring souls continued to shrink under the influence of the scriptures, and seemed to be gradually losing their activity.

Chanting sutras is indeed useful, but... Li Chuan thought about Sister Orion, and everything in his eyes began to break down to a more essential level.

He felt that something separated from the shrinking Devouring Soul and floated in the ripples. He looked over and they sank.

With a thought in Li Chuan's mind, he controlled the ripples and gathered these things together.

……

Master Tingdeng counted the beads in his hand one by one. He counted slower and slower, and finally stood up. He took a few steps forward and walked to the wall. He lowered his head and listened carefully to the sounds coming from the wall.

It's the sound of chanting.

He understood that Gong Wuguang had people move him here just to make him listen to this.

Master Ting Deng listened carefully for a while, turned around, and sat back down.

The beads in his hand have been scattered all over the floor.
