If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 132 Zuo Qianhu

There are about sixty or seventy "monks" in Pudu Temple. Of course, these so-called monks are all little monsters in human skin.

These little monsters are no match for Ding Xiu and Zhi Qiu. Most of them are killed by just one encounter.

Soon after, Pudu Temple became dilapidated and a raging fire broke out. Thick smoke billowed straight into the sky. Even the people in the capital were alarmed and began to wonder where the fire started.

At this time, the national master...that is, the giant centipede spirit was giving a sermon in the palace. When he saw the thick smoke rising, he couldn't help but look shocked.

Then he raised his hand and pinched it, his expression became even more ugly.

"Eh? Why is there such a big smoke?" The emperor couldn't help but glanced at the sky in surprise.

"Your Majesty, this poor monk will go and have a look..."

This giant centipede spirit was very arrogant. Without waiting for the emperor's reply, he jumped into the air and flew quickly towards Pudu Temple.

Of course, this is exactly what Ding Xiu, Zhi Qiu, and Yan Chixia want.

When the old demon arrived at Pudu Temple, the place was almost in ruins, and few of his men were dead.

Seeing that everything he had carefully built was ruined, the old demon was furious and immediately clasped his hands and recited the "Sanskrit Sound for Life".

"Namo Amitabha, Namo Amitabha, Namo Amitabha..."

"Put down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately; the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and you will find the shore when you turn around..."

Those who don't know its details really think it is some kind of eminent monk. In fact, this move is extremely vicious, otherwise it wouldn't be called a life-threatening Sanskrit sound.

This move is a typical mental attack. Once hit, the spirit will completely collapse and be controlled by the old demon.

Ding Xiu was well prepared and immediately chanted the Heart Purifying Mantra loudly:

"The star on the stage is always changing. Exorcising evil spirits, protecting life and body. Wisdom is clear and pure, and the mind is peaceful. The three souls are eternal, and the soul is never lost."

Zhiqiu also recited a few curses loudly, and at the same time used his palms alternately to attack the old demon with Tiangang Five Li Fire.

The two sides fought fiercely for a while, and Ding Xiu and Zhiqiu began to retreat as planned.

In fact, there is no need to pretend. The old demon is indeed very powerful. Even if the two of them combine their strength, it will be difficult to compete, so there is no need to pretend to be unable to defeat him and run away.

"Want to escape?"

The old demon was extremely angry and naturally pursued him relentlessly.

Ding Xiu and Ding Xiu kept fighting... Finally, they successfully led the old demon to the valley.

At this point, the old demon finally felt that something was wrong.

After all, it is not stupid. Before, it was filled with rage and wanted to kill anyone who dared to offend it. Now it has finally calmed down a little.

Although the old demon was quite confident in its own strength, the terrain of this valley was complicated, and it was afraid of falling into a trap, so it stopped chasing Ding Xiu and the two of them, and turned around and left here first.

Unfortunately, it was already a little late. Yan Chixia had been waiting here for a long time and activated the formation in time.

This demon-subduing formation is not only a trapping formation, but also a killing formation.

Of course, with the strength of this old demon, it would be no problem to forcefully break through this formation, but how could Yan Chixia, Ding Xiu, and Zhiqiu give it time to break through the formation?
"You are so brave!"

When the centipede spirit saw that it was indeed trapped in the formation, it couldn't help but growl with a ferocious look on its face.

At this time, Yan Chixia walked out and smiled sarcastically at the centipede spirit: "Old monster, I didn't expect that after 30 years of not seeing you, you suddenly transformed into a national master?"

Although the appearance of this centipede spirit is different from before, after all, this old demon changes frequently, but how can he hide it from Yan Chixia?

"Oh it's you!"

As the saying goes, when enemies meet, they are extremely jealous.

Back then, in order to practice evil magic, the centipede spirit secretly ordered his disciples to capture many people and suck their essence, blood and souls to help them practice.

Unexpectedly, Yan Chixia interrupted her at the moment of her performance. At that time, the old demon's strength was less than [-]%, so he naturally did not dare to fight. After fighting back a few moves, he could only run away in confusion.

Now when I see my former enemy trying to ruin his good deeds, it can be said that old hatred is compounded by new hatred!
So, the old demon repeated his old tricks and began to cast the life-threatening Sanskrit sound again.

But this time, it was combined with another move: the Golden Body of Buddha.

Its figure disappeared from the place, and when it appeared, it was already in mid-air, and it turned into the appearance of the Tathagata's golden body, with golden light all over its body. It stood upright with one hand, closed its eyes slightly, and muttered a mantra.

"Everyone be careful!"

Yan Chixia shouted loudly, and then chanted the Golden Light Mantra loudly.

The Golden Light Mantra is the first of the eight great Taoist mantras. Even if Yan Chixia chants it loudly, it can barely compete with the old demon's life-threatening chant.

"Put down the butcher's knife, become a Buddha immediately, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, turn around and be right..."

Following the old demon's shout, a huge golden Buddha's hand shadow was shot from the sky, covering all of Ding Xiu and the others.

"Haotian is upright, the sun and the moon are shining!"

Yan Chixia shouted loudly and recited a curse while fighting back.

Ding Xiu also mobilized his true energy with all his strength and used a move to improve the mighty Tianlong from the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

"Dawei Tianlong!"

With a loud shout, Ding Xiu also took a palm shadow.

Zhiqiu used the technique of moving mountains and seas, causing countless boulders to rise up and fly into the air like a small mountain peak.

"boom!"

There was a deafening sound in the valley.

The three of them worked together to defeat the old demon's one move. Before the old demon could use his second move, Yan Chixia used Qimen's technique to dodge to the side and activated the killing formation.

For a moment, golden light shone in the formation, and the golden light seemed to turn into countless tiny flying swords that flew towards the centipede spirit.

The centipede spirit did not dare to neglect. The golden body of the Tathagata it transformed into suddenly grew in size. It did not know what spell it was chanting in its mouth. The body was surrounded by several feet of glow, blocking the incoming golden sword.

At this time, Ding Xiu raised his hand and took out a talisman, and then used the talisman as a guide to cast the Five Thunder Curse, summoning a wave of thunder and lightning.

"Crack!"

Several bolts of thunder and lightning exploded one after another on the centipede spirit's head, causing the glow around his body to surge like waves.

Almost at the same time, Zhiqiu also used Tiangang Wulihuo continuously, and flames rushed away.

Under normal circumstances, even if Ding Xiu and Zhi Qiu worked together, they might not be able to break the old demon's defense.

Ding Xiu also met the Thousand-Year Centipede Spirit in Pingshan Mountain, but the world dimensions were different, and the strength between the two was also very different.

Fortunately, the suppression of the demon subduing formation made it difficult for the old demon to exert its strength, and at the same time he had to guard against Yan Chixia's continuous attacks.

Therefore, the glow surrounding the Dharma image was finally broken.

As soon as the rays of light broke, the Dharma form it transformed also broke, and he returned to his previous appearance of an old monk.

"hateful!"

The centipede spirit finally became furious and simply shed his human skin and transformed into his true form.

Although Ding Xiu was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the centipede spirit's body.

Compared with it, the centipede in Pingshan is just a tiny thing.

"Boom boom boom..."

Next, there was a series of intensive rumbling sounds, gravel scattered in the air, and smoke filled the sky.As soon as the centipede spirit transformed into its true form, its combat power soared. It was completely charging forward, rushing in the direction of Yan Chixia. Along the way, the hard rocks were like tofu.

Apparently, it hated Yan Chixia the most, so it was Yan Chixia who attacked for the first time.

"Heaven and Earth are boundless, Qiankun borrows the law!"

Yan Chixia chanted a curse and struck out with a sword.

"call!"

The sword energy struck the centipede spirit's back like a giant sword.

Unexpectedly, the centipede spirit didn't even bother to hide, and resisted the sword forcefully.

Although the body stayed for a short time, it didn't seem to hurt it at all.

"Move mountains and overturn seas!"

Zhiqiu shouted loudly, and with the movement of his gesture, a stone the size of a house floated up, and then hit the centipede spirit hard.

"boom!"

This time, the ground was shaken.

"The sword transforms into thousands!"

At this time, Yan Chixia also started to use her ultimate move.

This type is quite similar to Shushan's Ten Thousand Sword Jue. One sword turns into ten thousand swords and attacks the centipede spirit like a heavy rain.

At the same time, Ding Xiu also mobilized his true energy with all his strength. His sword was as powerful as a rainbow. He jumped up high and struck out with the sword in mid-air.

"Boom boom boom..."

The offensive of the three people was launched almost at the same time, causing the situation to change color. The turbulent air current swept away the smoke and gravel, forming countless large and small whirlwinds, as if a sandstorm was coming.

This time, the centipede spirit's defense was finally broken, causing it to let out a sharp hiss, and some fishy mucus began to flow out of its hard body.

However, even though this guy was injured, his combat effectiveness increased instead of decreasing. He took advantage of his size and kept charging. For a while, Ding Xiu and the others were a little confused. They had to spread out and start to adopt the tactics of wandering around. Consume the centipede spirit's physical strength.

However, the centipede spirit is also very cunning. This guy seems to be attacking crazily, but in fact he is changing different directions and positions, trying to forcefully break through the formation.

In the formation, its power is suppressed, and the longer it takes, the more obvious this feeling becomes.

This is the magical effect of the Demon Subduing Array. Even if the strength of the two sides is very different, as long as the characteristics of the Demon Subduing Array are used to delay time, the monster will eventually run out of power and eventually surrender without any effort.

It would be impossible for ordinary monsters to be trapped in this formation, but this centipede spirit has thousands of years of Taoism, so it may not be able to trap it.

Of course, Yan Chixia and the others understood this, so the three of them stepped up their offensive and did not give the centipede spirit a chance to break the formation.

This battle was so intense that the sky was dark and the earth was dark.

However, with the Demon Subduing Formation present, Centipede Spirit was suppressed everywhere and its power was consumed rapidly. Finally, Ding Xiu found an opportunity and opened his chest with a sword.

Yan Chixia and Zhiqiu tried their best. Not long after, Yan Chixia slashed with her sword and almost cut off half of Centipede Jing's head.

Soon after, the battle finally ended.

On the other side, a group of officers and soldiers came from the direction of the capital. There were not many people, about 40 to [-] people. They were ordered to go out of the city to check the source of the thick smoke outside the city.

The leader's surname was Zuo. He used to be a Qianhu in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, and was known as Zuo Qianhu.

Among the generals of the dynasty, Zuo Qianhu was recognized as the most powerful. It is said that he once broke into an enemy camp single-handedly, killed more than 100 people in a row, beheaded the enemy's generals, and finally escaped unscathed.

He has many weapons, the most commonly used is a long-handled plain knife, as well as throwing knives, long whips, lancets, and wild goose feather knives.

Later, he was transferred to the Jinyi Guard Zuo Station to serve as a thousand households.

When they arrived at Pudu Temple, they were shocked to see that Pudu Temple had been burned into ruins.

After all, Pudu Temple is the place where the Imperial Master cultivates his body, and its status is equivalent to that of a royal temple. Who is so bold and dares to take action here?

One of his subordinates looked surprised and asked: "Master Qianhu, didn't the Imperial Master return to the temple? Why..."

At this time, Zuo Qianhu raised his hand to signal his men not to speak, then he held the simple knife in his hand, his waist slightly lowered, and walked slowly towards the temple gate.

"Master Qianhu..."

Several of his men followed.

"You guys are waiting outside, something is wrong in the temple..."

Although Zuo Qianhu is a military commander and has practiced martial arts since childhood, his realm has surpassed the scope of ordinary warriors and reached the innate realm.

People outside only think that he has great martial arts skills, but they don't know that he can already break magic with his strength. Even ordinary cultivators and evil spirits are no match for him.

He had already sensed that there was a faint evil spirit permeating the temple.

Could it be that something evil has invaded?Destroyed Pudu Temple?

With full of doubts, Zuo Qianhu walked into the temple cautiously.

As soon as he entered the front yard, he couldn't help but be shocked... because he saw a lot of human skins on the ground, and some of the human skins were quite complete. If they were filled with straw, cotton or something, it would look like a human.

In addition to those weird human skins, there are also many corpses of little demons underground.

Such a scene made Zuo Qianhu a little unpredictable.

It seems that those human skins are like monks in the temple, but why have they turned into skins?Could it be that the flesh and blood were devoured by those monsters?
The important thing is, hasn’t the national master returned to the temple?Why didn't you stop these evil things?
When they came to the backyard, suddenly, there was a strange scream, and then, a black shadow rushed towards Zuo Qianhu.

Zuo Qianhu quickly took a step away, and then he saw clearly that it was a half-human, half-cat little demon. He was not tall. One of his eyes was glowing red, and the other was glowing green. He looked very special. of horror.

However, Zuo Qianhu was not afraid and immediately slashed away with his sword.

"Pfft~"

With the flash of the sword, the cat demon was cut into two pieces on the spot.

"Not right..."

Zuo Qianhu looked around and felt that things were not as simple as he thought.

Because he could feel that there were probably experts involved in the fighting scene here, and he had not found the whereabouts of the national master. Could it be...

Zuo Qianhu suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

In fact, this was not a temporary thought on his part. He had met the Imperial Preceptor as early as the day when the Emperor conferred the title of Imperial Preceptor.

At that time, he had a vague feeling that the imperial master did not look like a truly enlightened monk. He always felt that the other party had an indescribable yin and yang feeling.

Therefore, now that he was connected with the strange things happening in Pudu Temple, he had a bold idea.

Is it possible that the Imperial Master is also a demon?So, they attracted experts to destroy this temple?
Just when he was wondering, there was suddenly a commotion outside.

Zuo Qianhu went out and took a look. It turned out that several of his subordinates were worried, so they finally walked in. As a result, they were frightened by the scene in the yard.

Although they dare to fight bloody battles on the battlefield, it does not mean that they are not afraid of monsters and monsters. This is a natural fear in the hearts of many people.

Zuo Qianhu immediately shouted: "You should go out quickly, be careful of getting into trouble with the evil spirit."

Upon hearing this, the men turned pale with fright and quickly left the temple.
