I can't be a demon.

Chapter 333 I’m not pretending anymore. I’m Tathagata
"You have seen the Tathagata, why don't you bow down to him?"

Shen Lian looked at the sun in astonishment. The old man with yellow eyebrows had a distorted face covered with countless scriptures. For a moment, fear and doubt intertwined in his heart.

Glancing around, he discovered that only the immortals on earth could see the Yellow-browed Buddha.

The monks in the eighth realm can sense something strange, but it is at most the brightness of the sunlight. The monks in the ninth realm are slightly better, but the whispering of the Yellow-browed Old Buddha sounds like gibberish in their ears.

The noise in the city brought Shen Lian back to his senses.

The dragon fish robe was so nervous that its true form was revealed, and it turned into an evil dragon and crawled into the sleeves, not daring to move.

"The Tathagata Sutra... is complete..."

Shen Lian's pupils shrank slightly, and his soul communicated with Longyupao and learned that the latter was afraid of the Yellow-browed Buddha because the scriptures contained in the sun were extremely terrifying.

He looked carefully and found that it was a complete Tathagata Sutra.

It was the first time that Shen Lian had seen an existence that could refine all the middle-level Buddhist teachings. The strength of the Yellow-browed Old Buddha was definitely far beyond his imagination.

He even suspected that the Yellow-browed Buddha's action of replacing the sun was not intentional.

Rather, it is the manifestation of the complete refinement of the Middle Way Buddhism.

The Yellow-browed Buddha not only stole the name of Maitreya Buddha, but also made the heavenly way recognize him as the incarnation of the sun through the Mahavairocana Sutra.

If we look back to the time before the catastrophe of heaven and earth, how many immortals and gods could do it?

Shen Lian calmed the dragon fish robe. The treasure had once swallowed a sentence of Tathagata Sutra. Facing the Yellow-browed Old Buddha, he had no idea of ​​resisting.

"The Middle Vehicle Buddhism is truly terrifying. If Madam White Bones completely refines the [White Bones Contemplation], perhaps as long as there are bones in the world, Madam White Bones will be immortal."

"but……"

Shen Lian always felt that the Middle Way Buddhism was not without its drawbacks.

The Little Leiyin Temple only appears once every two or three hundred years, and the Yellow-browed Old Buddha is obviously constrained by some kind of restrictions, even though his cultivation has reached a high level.

"Although the great calamity of heaven and earth has made immortals and Buddhas neither human nor ghost, one thing is certain, their strength is increasing."

Shen Lian displayed his magical power of wisdom eyes, and his eyes lit up.

There is no information prompt on the profession panel, but some clues can still be seen. The strength of the Yellow-browed Buddha is probably not higher than that of a celestial being.

"hiss."

"The Yellow-browed Buddha was a novice monk who served beside Maitreya Buddha. After going through the baptism of the heaven and earth calamity and returning to a thousand years ago, I am afraid that he can be on par with the immortals and Buddhas below the Three Pure Ones."

This is the level of Mahayana Buddhism. What about Zhen Yuanzi who refined Mahayana Buddhism?

Sun closed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

The Yellow-browed Old Buddha seemed to be absorbing the power of the Sun Star. If one looked directly at him, one could hear the low murmur of the Mahavairocana Sutra.

Shen Lian secretly felt lucky that the Yellow-browed Buddha did not set his sights on the Yanshan area.

Perhaps more than 300,000 blood meals are not worth mentioning at the current level of the Yellow-browed Old Buddha, and ordinary people will be burned to ashes before they even get close.

Shen Lian was actually already prepared.

If there is any abnormality, the people will be sucked into Bibotan Lake through the roots of the banyan tree.

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, it's almost time for you to come."

Shen Lian was not sure that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was the only earthly immortal. If the situation changed, he would have a way to retreat and evacuate immediately.

no way.

If you want to get the Tang Dynasty back on track, you have to face the Little Leiyin Temple.

This war is inevitable. Although there is room for further delay, who knows whether there will be a change similar to the catastrophe of heaven and earth a hundred years later.

One step behind, every step behind.

"hehe."

Shen Lian sneered and glanced around. After learning that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had set his sights on the Yanshan area, he intentionally or unintentionally attracted the attention of various forces.

There are at least seventy or eighty spies in the city, belonging to different peerless demons.

"Since you want to establish your authority, why not just solve the problem at once? Hehehe, don't you think I'm a living immortal Buddha?"

"it is good!"

"I will confirm this identity today to avoid a lot of trouble."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, you are destined to become the stepping stone for Bage to advance to the sixth level! !

quack quack.

Di Ting heard the excited grin and roar, obviously realizing that Shen Lian was planning a big attack, and the energy of the Nine Netherworld was constantly emanating from his body.

The Buddhas outside the temples retreated one after another, and the thousand-year-old demon leading them roared to boost their courage.

Shen Lian did not let Di Ting take action, mainly to gather more Buddhas outside the temple, they are all walking experience packs! !

.........

At the same time, a corner of the city wall of Yanliang Town.

"Lion Lord, is Shen Lian the reincarnation of an immortal or Buddha?"

Ye Changming had a lion's head and openly held a talisman to mingle among the officers and soldiers. Next to him was a golden-haired lion spirit with a head three meters tall.

"It doesn't make much sense. Unless he is the reincarnation of Tathagata, he will surely die today."

The yellow lion said in a deep voice, licking his lips from time to time.

As one of the seven lions under the throne of Jiuling Yuansheng, the yellow lion, whose 20,000 years of cultivation is comparable to the perfection of a human immortal, is notoriously bloodthirsty.

Ye Changming had just stepped into the realm of human immortality and was the most outstanding disciple of Panhuan Cave at the time. Naturally, he also knew many secrets of the cave.

"Master, I heard that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva took the initiative to find Zuweng to divide up the Lü Zu Temple. Is he willing to give us the blood food for free?"

Huang Shi shook his head and explained: "Don't underestimate Shen Lian. This person must have a great background. If I'm right, the seven arhats under Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva are almost dead."

"With the help of Di Ting who suppresses all ghosts, even if Shen Lian is definitely going to die, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will also suffer heavy losses."

Ye Changming's eyes lit up, "Master, are you talking about the ruins of the old Heavenly Palace?"

"Well, he gave us the concession to prevent the old heavenly court from being short of manpower. After all, the blood food in Lu Zu Temple was originally just an appetizer, and Shangqing Palace is the top priority."

The yellow lion had a subtle expression. Who could have imagined that the appetizer would be so ferocious?

All the arrangements made by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the four cities of Yanshan were destroyed, and the chaos in other parts of the Tang Dynasty was suppressed by Chechi Kingdom and Moyun Cave.

Pan Huang Dongbai got a chance for no reason and took this opportunity to intervene in the ruins of the old heaven.

"But there is one thing I am curious about."

Huang Shi said: "Why are the other Buddhas of Xiao Leiyin Temple just standing by and watching? Logically speaking, more than 300,000 blood foods should be enough."

Ye Changming hesitated and asked, "Could it be that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva wants to eat alone?"

"Can he eat it? Besides, none of the evil Buddhas are stupid. If it were me, I would forcefully intervene in the siege of Lu Zu Temple."

The yellow lion was breathing heavily. The behavior of the Little Leiyin Temple was too strange right now.

It's like, deliberately creating a game that is as fair as possible.

ridiculous.

Do they really regard Shen Lian as the reincarnation of the Buddha from Lingshan in the West?

Judging from the physical strength displayed by Shen Lian, even if he is a living immortal or Buddha, he should be from the Heavenly Court, and most likely one of the Eight Divisions.

"Disciple, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has finally arrived."

Ye Changming trembled all over, but saw four people carrying a statue of God coming towards him at the end of the official road.

The four were the lower seven Arhats of the Ninth Realm. Their expressions were filled with fanaticism, and they did not hesitate at all even though their feet were covered in blood.

The statue of the deity remained motionless, with his fingers raised and a smile on his face, pretending to be merciful.

Huang Shi's expression was solemn. "Back then, the catastrophe of the Heaven and Earth Great Calamity swept across the three realms. Today, the Eight Sects of the Ghost Market are just copying others. Only the Little Leiyin Temple has truly gained countless opportunities."

"It's even scarier that I haven't seen Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for a long time."

He noticed that Shen Lian had no reaction and was still lying on his side drinking and practicing.

Even though the power of earthly immortals is limited in the mortal world, they are by no means comparable to human immortals, not to mention that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has inherited the Taoist tradition from the Yellow-browed Buddha.

Huang Shi guessed that Shen Lian had means to protect himself, which was why he seemed fearless.

"Disciple, inform the other lion brothers to prepare. If possible, grab some of Shen Lian's broken limbs and meat for me to taste."

"Master, I'll do it right away." A hint of eagerness flashed in Ye Changming's eyes. He might be able to get some blood.

He quietly took out the talisman and transmitted the message. The lion brothers dressed up as hunters and after receiving the message, they casually threw the bamboo cage in their hands into the corner.

Bamboo cages house flocks of wild rabbits, whose eyes are blood red.

The same magical power [Ancestor Worship] is shared by everyone in Panhuan Cave, which can transform any creature into a lion monster. The hare was a hidden trick arranged in advance.

It won’t be long before thousand-year-old lion monsters appear in the world.

It can be seen that Panhuan Cave invested a lot of resources to encircle and suppress Lu Zu Temple.

Click click click.

Cracks are spreading on the surface of the statue.

Stones kept falling, raising a cloud of dust, and blood and flesh slowly emerged from the cracks.

Then, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva broke free from the statue, an unspeakable fear enveloped every corner, and the mountain wind quietly stopped.

Yanliang Town fell into deathly silence, but fortunately it was shrouded by the invisible realm of martial arts.

Otherwise, just one encounter would make half of the mortals go crazy.

"What the hell?"

The true form of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is simply indescribable. It has the outline of Buddha, but it is completely different from any image that people are familiar with.

The body was twisted and weird, with countless skin and bony limbs dancing.

It's like exploring the outside world.

No one, including Shen Lian, could see the true appearance of Tibetan Bodhisattva.

The whole body is wrapped in a layer of unclear and changing fuzzy feeling, sometimes like grass and trees made up of limbs, and sometimes like disordered yellow spring water.

It is impossible to describe the wonder that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva brings to others.

A mixture of the sacred and the unholy?

"Amitabha."

"I will not attain Buddhahood until hell is empty, and I will not attain Bodhi until all sentient beings are saved."

As soon as he finished speaking, his soul influenced everyone's cognition. The indescribable Buddha became clearer and clearer, and finally turned into Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The four Arhats knelt on the ground and chanted the name of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

"Alas, the Tang Dynasty is already a hell on earth. If I don't come, when will the suffering end?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva gently stroked the foreheads of the four Arhats, and they kept twitching. In an instant, they were reduced to four Buddhas outside the temple who had practiced Taoism for thousands of years.

"If I don't go to hell, who will?"

He walked barefoot towards Yanliang Town, tears streaming down his face.

"Donor Lu Zu, why do you want to stop me from saving sentient beings? Rather than suffering in the mortal world, it is better to send them to the paradise of Xiao Leiyin Temple."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stayed on Di Ting's body for a few breaths, and his chest could not help but rise and fall.

"Listen carefully. In your previous life, you knelt at my feet for tens of thousands of years. After reincarnation, you lost all your memories. Come back to the Little Leiyin Temple with me."

His words can bewitch people and make the listeners agree with his views.

"Stupid~~"

Di Ting started to curse, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva showed regret, but now that Shen Lian was dead, there was plenty of time to tame Di Ting and use him for his own purposes.

On the one hand, we come here for food, and on the other hand, we come here to listen attentively.

Everyone in the world calls me the evil Buddha and the false Buddha.

From now on, I have Di Ting to help me, so what does it matter whether it is true or false?
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva saw that Shen Lian was not the reincarnation of the Buddha from the Western Lingshan Mountain at all.

His cultivation level is just that of a human immortal, or even just entering the stage of a human immortal. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva really doesn't know how Shen Lian can threaten him.

"It smells like a plague immortal, Lv Zu, could it be that he was Lv Yue in his previous life?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not associate Shen Lian with Daozi of the Plague Department. He just thought that Shen Lian was extremely ridiculous. With such strength, he was not even qualified to stop a chariot with his bare hands.

"Myna, don't be so quick to refuse. Isn't it good to follow Little Leiyin Temple and enjoy the good life?"

"Ah~ Eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks~~"

Shen Lian patted Di Ting's head and stepped forward to greet Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The size of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva suddenly increased to the same level as Di Ting, and infinite Buddha light radiated outward, which of course was still indescribable from a real perspective.

"Lü Zu is so sensible. From now on, you will definitely have a place in the Little Leiyin Temple."

The town of Yanliang was in an uproar. The people were bewitched and had all sorts of distracting thoughts. They couldn't believe that they had become the blood food of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not rush to approach, as Shen Lian's attitude was really strange.

On the surface, he seemed to be trying to please the Little Leiyin Temple, but in fact, he was ruthless at all. None of the Seven Arhats were spared, and their souls were scattered in a moment.

Shen Lian stretched out his right arm and grabbed, and the dazzling knife light fell like a meteor.

Clang.

Bone Blade returns, and the experience progress has reached 70%.

"A Taotie with ten thousand years of cultivation? That's not enough to deal with me."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva became even more fearful and used his eighth consciousness [Alaya-vijnana] to find out what Shen Lian relied on.

This person is so fragile that his body and soul will be severely damaged with just one attack.

But his behavior is strange and inexplicable.

Di Ting, Taotie, and the banyan tree that is suspected to be an innate spiritual root protect the way. In addition, four Bodhisattvas including the Altar Purifier take the initiative to protect.

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva doesn't believe me? I am sincere."

Shen Lian chuckled, and the martial arts plague pill that was temporarily integrated into his golden body separated, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's expression became even more ridiculous.

Is the real cultivation level the eighth realm?
ha?
Immediately afterwards, Shen Lian did something that no one expected.

He punched hard into the abdomen, and the force went through the lower dantian and hit the martial arts golden body directly. The golden body was instantly shattered into pieces, and he couldn't help but spit out blood.

Shen Lian kept smiling, but Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could see a strong sense of madness in him.

"What a great Lu Zu!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva spread his hands, and a large number of arms emerged from his body, with swastikas on their palms.

Shen Lian's physical and soul injuries worsened, but he calmly used his magical power of nourishing food. His shattered martial arts golden body turned into nutrients and flowed into his bones.

He glanced at the career panel and the words "Changshengzhuan" became extremely dim.

[Do you want to consume 20 points to complete the longevity pile?]

"no."

After Shen Lian transformed from a mortal to an immortal, he gained a deeper and deeper understanding of the career panel, and only then did he notice that points could complete the golden body of martial arts.

He hid some of the golden body fragments in the Martial Arts Plague Pill to prevent damage to the foundation.

This action is done to allow the seven-treasure Buddha bones to take shape in advance.

【Middle Vehicle Tathagata Fruit】

【By taking Buddha's bones, the bones in your body will become seven-treasure Buddha's bones within 456 years.】

Shen Lian drank all the Lingshan wine.

【Lingshan Wine】

[It is brewed from the ghost gourd. After taking it, one can fall into a state of boundless clarity, looking directly at the sacred mountain and getting a glimpse of the realm of immortals and Buddhas.]

Shen Lian poured the Buddhist wine that he had saved up into his stomach as if it were free.

If you want to take advantage of the situation, you must take advantage of the greatest momentum.

Aren’t you talking about some living immortals and Buddhas?

No more pretending.

I am the reincarnation of Tathagata.
