After the Skyfall

Chapter 769: Flesh and Skin

When the woman in the hall opened her eyes, the whole world became quiet. It was as if only Li Yi and she were left in this Jingxin Temple. The sandalwood in the air was quickly dissipating, and was replaced by a strange and subtle fragrance.

This fragrance is very unique. It does not come from the sky, earth, or nature, but seems to come from the human body.

The source of the fragrance came from the woman in the hall.

"Are you the Buddhist who practices the contemplation of white bones? Yu Lian is here to greet you." Then a gentle and pleasant voice sounded, and the woman walked out slowly from the hall with a smile on her face, and then looked at Li Yi slightly.

However, Li Yi was also looking at the other person. His delicate and fair face was full of compassion. Time had not left any traces on him, but his eyes were a little special.

The eyes are moving, seeming to contain a myriad of emotions.

Moreover, beneath the thin plain clothes, there was a vague outline of a plump body that made one's blood boil.

Such a scene seems extremely incongruous for a Buddhist nun. If the woman closed her eyes, she must be a person who observed the precepts and practiced Buddhism. But if she opened her eyes, she was like a beautiful woman who suppressed her desires and was extremely hungry.

The two feelings were compatible with each other, and Li Yi suddenly recalled the bone mural in his mind.

The mural of white bones is just like that. It can make you sink into desire, or it can make you see through everything and see people as white bones.

The mural is fake, but the woman in front of him is real.

"You are very evil. No wonder you can bewitch Zhang Fanyin to practice with you." Li Yi frowned, his hand already clenched around the red gold sword.

"Every person has a thousand faces, no desires, no appearances. Different hearts lead to different views. I wonder what kind of person I am in the eyes of the layman?" The woman named Yu Lian smiled slightly and continued walking forward.

Under the thin plain clothes, the plump outline was faintly visible, and the eyes revealed a burning desire.

"Slutty." Li Yi said almost without thinking.

But the woman named Yulian was not angry, and still smiled: "It seems that you, the layman, have not yet let go of your worldly mind and your six senses are not pure. You have clearly practiced the contemplation of white bones, but you are still attached to the appearance of flesh and skin. Don't you know that looking at beauty is like looking at white bones?"

Li Yi said: "It seems that the master has seen through the mundane world, his six senses are pure, and he is no longer attached to the flesh. If that's the case, then why are you wearing clothes? Why don't you take them off and show your physical body to others?"

But just as he finished speaking, the woman named Yu Lian smiled and untied her plain clothes. Her plump figure, which was faintly visible, swayed slightly, and all her clothes were taken off.

However, something strange happened.

What appeared before one's eyes was not the exciting body one had imagined, but a skeleton. Every bone was crystal clear, as if carved from beautiful jade. However, a skeleton body with a head of flesh and blood on top made people feel inexplicably horrified.

"Do you think my skin under this plain dress is good-looking?" Yu Lian slowly turned around and swayed her body. Her crystal bones shook. There was no beauty at all, only horror.

"This is all just the layman's delusion. When he saw a beautiful woman, he thought she had a lustful heart. When he saw the outline of her plain clothes, he thought she had an attractive body. If the layman really understood the view of white bones, how could he have lustful thoughts and develop a blasphemous heart towards me?"

Yu Lian clasped her hands together at this moment and said slowly: "All the desires in the mortal world are illusions. If you can learn to let go and practice with me, you will be able to attain Bodhi one day."

Li Yi said nothing, but slowly drew out the red-gold sword from his waist, and suddenly infinite divine light shone: "Since Master is so wise, why don't you enlighten me again, was the sword from my waist drawn out just now, or was it not drawn out?"

"Layman, the murderous intention has already arisen, so just draw out the sword." Yu Lian said slowly.

Li Yi sneered and said, "Master, you saw me draw the sword from my waist and thought I was going to attack you and had the intention to kill you. If you were truly a master of cultivation, you would not have seen anything. I did not have a sword in my hand, nor did I have the intention to kill you. It is obvious that you have long been on guard against me, so you have such thoughts. What you have in your heart is not compassion, but hostility."

Yu Lian was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.

Li Yi did not give her time to think, and continued: "Then Master, please take a look, will my sword cut down or not?"

Then he raised the red-gold sword in his hand, filled with murderous aura and divine light.

Yu Lian put her hands together and said, "The sword will naturally come towards me, please put away your murderous intentions and turn back."

"You are wrong. I did not move, and neither did the sword. It was the Master's heart that moved." Li Yi said, "I just made a gesture, that's all. Am I obsessed, or are you, Master?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Lian's face changed. She felt a tightness in her chest, as if she was stuck in some kind of predicament and couldn't get out. After observing the precepts and practicing for many years, she felt that her Zen mind was damaged at this moment.

"You can't even attain enlightenment, yet you still want to use sophistry to deceive me? You're courting death." Then Li Yi suddenly shouted and slashed down with a sword.

A thousand-foot-long divine light burst forth, instantly submerging everything in front of her. However, the woman named Yu Lian did not resist at all and allowed herself to be submerged by the divine light.

moment.

Everything in front of me no longer exists.

But Li Yi was back to the reality in a flash. The air around him was filled with sandalwood, the sound of Sanskrit could be heard, and pilgrims were coming and going in an endless stream. The statue of Bodhisattva in the main hall still had its head lowered and its face looked compassionate.

The only change was the mature and beautiful Master Yulian, who had waist-length black hair and a mature and beautiful appearance, lying on the cushion beside her. Her body trembled and a mouthful of blood spurted out. The blood was crystal clear and filled the hall with fragrance.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Zhang Fanyin hurried over.

"It's okay. I originally wanted to bring this lay Buddhist to Jingxin Temple and let him help you practice and achieve the White Bone Bodhisattva as soon as possible. I never thought." Having said that, Yu Lian stopped talking and looked at Li Yi outside with a complicated expression.

The few words just now damaged his Zen mind. He was indeed a person who practiced the White Bone Contemplation. Not only were his six senses impure and his murderous nature strong, but he was also born to understand Zen. He was really like a big demon that was hard to save. "Sure enough, it was you who did it just now." Li Yi looked around and saw that the illusion was gone. He was still standing in the same place, and the red gold sword on his waist was not unsheathed at all.

And in reality, only a moment passed.

The methods of this world are really special.

However, even if the illusion was defeated, the woman in front of him was still very extraordinary. Her strength was estimated to be far beyond that of the Master Incorruptible who he had fought before. After all, Master Incorruptible did not have the ability to trap himself in an illusion in an instant.

Li Yi was therefore quite wary of him.

"Zhang Fanyin, I have done what I promised you. I came here to see your master. I was thinking that because you gave me the cross-border machine, I would help you get rid of the demagogue. But now it seems that it is not necessary. You are more suitable to stay in this world."

Li Yi's eyes moved slightly, and after taking a quick look, he did not stay and immediately turned around and left.

Zhang Fanyin didn't say much when she saw this. She couldn't possibly keep Li Yi, nor did she want to go back to Earth. However, she didn't succeed in her practice as the White Bone Bodhisattva, and she felt a little unwilling in her heart.

Yu Lian, who was standing by, stood up slowly. She sighed, "I didn't expect that before my master reached Consummation, he would encounter such a great demon. Now his Zen mind is damaged. If he is not saved, it will be difficult for him to attain Bodhi in this life."

She said as she took a step forward.

His figure immediately disappeared in the hall, and in the blink of an eye he had arrived in the distant sky.

Li Yi, who was just about to leave on a cloud, immediately saw Master Yu Lian blocking his way. His face darkened and without any hesitation, he drew the red-gold sword at his waist again and cut down a shocking red-gold sword light.

It seemed as if the heaven and earth were cut in half by this sword.

However, Master Yulian just made a seal, and in an instant, Sanskrit sounds rang out in the heaven and earth, and instruments such as conch shells, Dharma drums, and bronze bowls appeared and made various sounds.

There are eight kinds of sounds in total. When they come together, it sounds like a dragon chanting.

The infinite Dharma sound echoed, instantly defeating the sword light that could destroy everything, and eliminating the power of this attack without a trace.

When Li Yi saw this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He guessed that this monk named Yu Lian was very powerful, but he never thought that he was so extraordinary. You know, his strength has been tested in this world, and he thinks that the indestructible master who can kill the Vajra Statue is also at the top level.

Unexpectedly, the opponent only used magic and easily blocked the attack without even using any weapons.

Could he be a master at the level of a demon king?

"Good spell." Li Yi said, "So, Master Yulian, you can't win by sophistry so you want to use force? I said, Zhang Fanyin is talking nonsense, saying that the practitioners in this world don't fight or kill, and concentrate on practicing. With such strength, how can they not fight or kill?"

Yu Lian said, "I will not force you to stay, but you have too strong a desire to kill. I would like to invite you to return to Jingxin Temple for a few days to recuperate, so that I can recite sutras for you every day to dispel the hostility in your heart."

"What if I refuse?" Li Yi said.

Yu Lian said, "Then I can only follow you until I can help you resolve the anger in your heart."

"From the sound of it, it seems like you're planning to keep pestering me until you brainwash me?" Li Yi frowned.

Yu Lian clasped her hands together and said nothing.

Li Yi was too lazy to waste time talking, so he used his Cloud Riding Technique to quickly escape. Since his opponent was so powerful, he would try to see if he could get rid of his entanglement.

But it was obvious that it wasn't that easy to get rid of this woman.

Li Yi's flying speed is fast, but Master Yu Lian's magical powers are equally amazing. With one step, she can cross dozens or hundreds of kilometers, and every time she can appear in front of Li Yi in advance.

Li Yi was not surprised by this situation.

If the opponent is strong enough, it would be very difficult for me to escape.

"The layman has given up. Come with me back to Jingxin Temple." Yu Lian continued to persuade.

Li Yi said nothing and fell directly from the air. He understood that the only way to get rid of the other party was to cross the border.

As long as we leave this Brahma world, everything will be fine.

However, he did not dare to take out the cross-border machine directly. Once it was destroyed, he would be trapped here and die.

It must be prepared in advance in the red gold five elements bracelet, and then suddenly open the cross-border door.

Thinking of this.

Li Yi used his magic power inside the red gold five elements bracelet and operated secretly.

Using three rare objects as energy sources, they simultaneously lock onto the cross-border coordinates of the Earth.
