I can't be a demon.

Chapter 341 The True Scripture is You!
Xiaoleiyin Temple.

There were originally a large number of Buddha statues placed in the temple, but because of the birth of the Xiao Leiyin Temple, most of the statues have disappeared.

The clay sculptures came to life and the sound of chanting could be heard.

Judging from the surface, Xiao Leiyin Temple is exactly the same as Buddhism, with hundreds of clay sculptures surrounding the central altar, worshiping Maitreya Buddha.

The gorgeous curtains covered the upper body of Maitreya Buddha, but still could not cover the dust on his body.

"Amitabha."

Maitreya Buddha pinched his right fingers and recited the contents of the Tathagata Sutra.

There are more than a dozen clay sculptures carefully scrubbing the Maitreya Buddha, like attendants at the feet of the Buddha, with expressions that appear extremely pious.

The Buddha in Xiao Leiyin Temple is transformed from demons and monsters, but the clay sculpture is different.

The clay sculpture was a lay believer who was devoted to Buddhism during his lifetime, but he mistook the real Buddha for the real one, and his soul condensed into a clay sculpture and followed the Little Leiyin Temple to practice for a thousand years.

After the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, all Buddhist temples in the mortal world have been destroyed.

The number of clay sculptures cannot be replenished, and one can see that most of their bodies and limbs are incomplete, and many can only crawl on the ground.

Click.

Suddenly, a slight noise came from the corner of the temple.

All the clay sculptures stopped chanting and belatedly looked towards a statue of Bodhisattva. The source of the noise was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is not outstanding in Xiao Leiyin Temple, but he is already one of the Buddhas.

Naturally, he attracted the attention of the Yellow-browed Buddha.

Kaka.

The crack between Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's eyebrows was spreading and soon spread throughout his body.

"Oh no, the Buddha is dead! Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has passed away!!"

"Ksitigarbha! Impossible!!"

All the clay sculptures stepped back, their limbs shaking with fear.

They covered their eyes with rags and kowtowed to Maitreya Buddha continuously.

Once the Buddha dies, Maitreya Buddha will surely wake up. Now that Maitreya Buddha's spirit has left his body and is practicing in the mortal world, he will definitely be unhappy.

The other Buddha statues revealed Buddha's light one by one and enveloped themselves. Suddenly, a deafening chant of the Rebirth Mantra rang out in the Little Leiyin Temple.

Madam White Bone and the Altar Purifier glanced at each other secretly, but remained silent.

The Buddhist beads in Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's hand fell all over the ground.

"Namo Amitabha, Dothagata, Dodiyata, Amritaputta, Amritaputta, Siddhamupta..."

Vibration came.

The dust of Maitreya Buddha dissipated, and his fresh flesh and skin gradually appeared.

There were pustules on the surface of his naked body, and his skin was rough, unlike that of an ordinary person. His hands and feet had long and narrow nails, and his back was bulging.

Its face was shrouded in a curtain and one could only see the statue trembling.

"Buddha, please calm down. It was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who secretly went to the ruins of the old heaven and wanted to use the sick peach tree to obtain Mahayana Buddhism."

The Buddha closest to the Maitreya statue spoke, but his words did not show any concern for the death of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

"Why should I be angry?"

The curtains fell.

The yellow-browed old Buddha's face, which resembled a turtle and a Buddha, was revealed, with a burning look in his eyes.

"I see. You've been dead for a thousand years but your influence still lingers."

He stretched out his left hand, and infinite light gathered at his fingertips, forcibly piecing together to form the twisted residual soul of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, like a ball of flame.

The flames let out a hysterical wail, and one could see that their facial features were in agony.

The yellow-browed old Buddha moved closer to the flame, sniffing with his long nose drooping and dripping with mucus. More and more Buddha statues around him opened their eyes.

Snapped.

The flames exploded, and the remaining soul turned to ashes.

The Yellow-browed Old Buddha still maintained the sniffing motion, and his breathing was clearly visible.

"Buddha, there are many Arhats in the Little Leiyin Temple who can succeed to the throne. There is no need to worry about a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. If he dies, he dies..."

Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara wanted to recommend the arhat under his seat to ascend to the fruit of enlightenment, but before he could finish his words, he felt an indescribable flash of Buddha’s light.

"Shut up!!!!"

The yellow-browed old Buddha had his eyes wide open, with phantom lights rippling between his pupils.

He raised his fat palm and slapped it hard.

boom!
The Little Leiyin Temple was in a dead silence. The upper body of the Bodhisattva Wujinyi was crushed into pieces, and the splattered meat stained the walls, the ground, and the pillars...

"It's the Golden Cicada!!!"

The Yellow-browed Buddha raised his arms high, and a human-headed sun rose up.

The palm of his hand was pierced with a large amount of bone fragments of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, and was covered with tiny wounds, but what flowed out was not blood.

But pearls, gold, agate, jade...

"I finally found the truth you mentioned. That's right, it's absolutely right!!"

"This time, I win again, Golden Cicada!!!"

The Yellow-browed Buddha climbed up with difficulty. The tortoise shell on his back was transformed into a golden cymbal, the human race bag was tucked at his waist, and the hammer for striking the chime was connected to his spine.

Holding the sun in his right hand, he waved his left hand, and the burning fire burned before his eyes.

There was a sleeping golden cicada lying in the burnt fire. You could see that its entire body was covered with cracks, which turned out to be countless fragments stuck together bit by bit.

If you observe carefully, you can find that the golden cicada is not a soul at all.

In fact, it is made from countless thoughts about Golden Cicada.

The Yellow-browed Old Buddha couldn't find the soul of Golden Cicada, so he forcibly created a Golden Cicada, staring at the burning fire with a look filled with unwillingness.

"You said that I am so obsessed with winning or losing, it's ridiculous and pathetic."

"Then let me ask you!"

"You don't care about winning or losing, so why did you lose your life today? Why did you want to find the true scriptures even though your soul was scattered? Hahaha."

The old Buddha with yellow eyebrows laughed wildly, and the entire text of the Tathagata Sutra appeared on the surface of his skin.

"Golden Chanzi, if you can't win, what's the point of proving cause and effect and human nature!!!"

"That volume of scriptures is in the ruins of the old heaven, right? I have to destroy it before I discuss winning or losing with you, hahahaha."

"Golden Chanzi, I will definitely win!!"

.........

Shen Lian did not leave Shangqing Palace. He gently stroked the two hairs on the back of his head, carefully trying to figure out how to use the life-saving method given by the Great Sage.

The starling stayed on his shoulder, still feeling frightened, while the jade rabbit hid in a corner to calm himself down.

"Brother Monkey, you have such a broad mind."

Shen Lian stared at the skeleton of the Great Sage. Even though countless years had passed, the skeleton still looked ferocious, as if it had leaped into the sky.

"Brother Monkey, you really are exactly like the Monkey King I remembered."

Sun Wukong already knew that he was in great danger. Five of his six incarnations had been possessed by demons, and the remaining one was also in danger.

Even so, he never thought of using Shen Lian to live his life again.

With his magical powers, he can arrange any tricks in the hair perfectly. In the end, no matter how hard he tries, a hair is just a hair.

"Brother Monkey, just ask me, how could I refuse you?"

Shen Lian bowed respectfully towards the skeleton.

"If you contemplate the hairs for a long time, you may be able to comprehend the Great Sage's golden body method."

"But even with my current level of understanding, it will take at least several decades."

Shen Lian restrained his breath, his hair became dim, and then he leaned over and tried to get into the teleportation tree.

At this moment, the vertical eye between his eyebrows opened for no reason, his manas gave a frantic warning, and his three hearts began to beat uncontrollably. Shen Lian had never encountered such a strong reaction from his manas.

Even when entering and leaving the Shangqing Palace, the warning of the manas was only within a reasonable range. Now I always feel as if I am about to lose balance in my Taoism because of this.

“Ah, I’m going to die~~”

The starling flapped its wings wildly, feeling the same pain, and looked around nervously.

"Once you enter the teleportation tree, there will be a certain death?"

"Oh shit."

Shen Lian covered his chest and communicated with the teleportation tree to calculate what would happen when he went to different places.

The result was without exception. There was no chance of winning anywhere in the outside world. It seemed that the only chance of survival was to stay in the ruins of the old heaven.

"Junior brother, I don't think I need to waste my breath on you. You have already seen the clues."

Shen Lian dodged a hundred meters away and looked around, and saw a familiar figure standing at the entrance.

"Junior brother, it's me."

Mrs. White Bone was wearing white gauze with her arms around her chest. Her skinny body revealed an alluring beauty.

Anyone who sees it will have the thought of the Buddha's body and bones.

"Senior sister, what's going on?"

"My Buddhist name in the Little Leiyin Temple is White Bone Guanyin. I entered the cave by accident. I came here to remind you of the impending disaster."

Shen Lian frowned tightly.

He was not too surprised that Madam Bai Gu was a member of Xiao Leiyin Temple.

When Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva besieged Yanliang Town, it was a bit of a lot of noise but little action. I vaguely guessed that Madam White Bone had some help in it.

"Is it the Yellow Eyebrow King?"

"Don't compare him with the yellow-browed boy under the seat of Maitreya Buddha. This monster swallowed a copy of the Tathagata Sutra and has half of Maitreya Buddha's rib in his stomach. His strength is very strong."

Shen Lian's pupils shrank slightly. What does it mean to have half a rib of Maitreya Buddha?
The Mahayana Buddhism that Zhen Yuanzi refined back then was just the arm of an ordinary Bodhisattva, but it had already transcended to the level of the Three Pure Ones.

Maitreya Buddha? What a joke!

Mrs. White Bone explained, "Don't worry, these are just bones discarded from the top of Lingshan Mountain in the West. They contain half a sentence of Mahayana Buddhism."

"He didn't refine it, did he?"

"Well, every time the Little Leiyin Temple is born, he is using the Sun Star to refine the Buddha's bones. The progress is slow and it is far from being successful."

Shen Lian didn't know what to say. The existence of the Yellow-browed Old Buddha was beyond imagination.

What Mrs. Bai Gu said next completely extinguished Shen Lian's hope, "After Ksitigarbha died, the Yellow Eyebrow Buddha noticed you."

"It won't be long before the Little Leiyin Temple descends directly into... the Deep Ghost Market."

"hiss."

Mrs. Bai Gu noticed Shen Lian's panic for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.

She nodded slightly, worthy of being the only true scripture recognized by Jin Chanzi.

Shen Lian moved on the spot. The warning brought by his manas became more and more intense. The old Buddha with yellow eyebrows might have sensed the breath of the lotus platform.

He had the illusion that there was no way to heaven and no door to earth.

No matter how you calculate it, the ending is the same: the Yellow-browed Old Man is already a true Buddha in the mortal world.

In addition, Huang Mei Lao obtained the three Buddhist treasures of Maitreya Buddha.

It is unknown how deep the foundation is today.

"Senior Sister, is there any solution to this situation?"

Mrs. White Bone did not reply and her figure disappeared on the spot.

Shen Lian only felt the fragrant breeze blowing on his face, and Mrs. White Bone had come to his side. Then the hairs on the back of his head disguised as hair began to feel a tingling sensation.

“There is no way to solve the situation, but there is a way to ease it.”

Madam Bai Gu plucked out a hair and spit out some resentment from her mouth. After the hair was contaminated, the scent of the hair was exactly the same as Shen Lian's.

"Originally I prepared a skeleton for you, but it would be better if it has hair."

Madam White Bone exclaimed in admiration, "It is so seamless that even the Yellow Eyebrow Buddha can't tell the difference."

"Senior sister, this is..."

"Watch."

Madam White Bone blew and the hair flew out of the Shangqing Palace, then fell into the endless abyss outside the ruins of the old heaven, and disappeared in a moment.

"Junior brother, I will send your hair to the heart of the old heaven. Even the Yellow-browed Buddha would have great difficulty entering it, not to mention that the main peach tree grows there."

Before Huang Mei Lao found the hair, Shen Lian should be absolutely safe.

"Sister, how long can you delay?"

"Four hundred years."

"Four hundred years?!"

Shen Lian was secretly shocked. With the speed of time flowing in the Deep Ghost Market, could it be that the Yellow-browed Old Buddha couldn't break into the forbidden area of ​​the ruins for a whole ten thousand years?
"It's not much time left. Puxian has already finished discussing with the righteous gods."

As soon as Mrs. White Bone finished speaking, invisible air waves swept through layer after layer of small worlds, and it seemed that some subtle changes had taken place in the Ghost Market.

"The speed of time...disappeared?"

Madam Bai Gu smiled and said, "The advent of Little Leiyin Temple is a disaster for the Eight Sects of Ghost Market, but it is also a chance for them to purify themselves of all worldly desires."

Shen Lian understood what Madam Bai Gu meant. Xiao Leiyin Temple would definitely cooperate with the Eight Divisions of Ghost Market.

With the help of the Yellow-browed Buddha, they can go to the deepest part of the old heaven, which contains the Taoist heritage of the immortals and gods.

Of course, whether it will be assimilated into the Xiao Leiyin Temple is another matter.

Shen Lian asked in a deep voice: "Senior Sister, what should I do?"

Four hundred years is neither long nor short. It is really unrealistic for me to want to gain the strength to fight against the Yellow-browed Buddha.

but……

Shen Lian scanned the career panel. No matter how small the chance was, it was better than no chance at all.

"You can't stay in the ghost market, nor can you stay in the mortal world. Any place that is illuminated by the sun is within the sight of Huang Mei."

Madam Bai Gu's meaning was very clear, she wanted Shen Lian to hide in any cave.

With her in Xiao Leiyin Temple, they can escape immediately if there is any disturbance.

Shen Lian hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Senior Sister, after the fall of the old Heavenly Palace, where were the temples of the Three Pure Ones?"

Madam Bai Gu was slightly surprised. "Lingbao Tianzun's Shangqing Palace is in the deep ghost market, which is where you are now, and Daode Tianzun's Taiqing Palace is said to be in the underworld."

"Yuanshi Tianzun's Jade Palace should be somewhere in the Four Seas Dragon Palace."

"Okay, I'll go to the Dragon Palace to practice."

Shen Lian bowed and said, "Senior Sister, my foundation in the Tang Dynasty and my family in the inner courtyard of the Plague Department...I rely on you."

"We will protect them. The Plague Department will be taken over by four Bodhisattvas. It's okay for you to use the demon tree to move them away."

"Thank you."

Shen Lian knew that practicing diligently would lead to death.

He has to rely on the resources of the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas and find an opportunity to rescue the incarnation of Monkey King before he can compete with the Yellow-browed Buddha.

"Junior brother, do you know the way to the Four Seas Dragon Palace?"

"I plan to go to the North Sea from the underground river."

Madam Bai Gu walked out of Shangqing Palace and said, "Junior brother, you don't have much time left. It's very easy to get lost in the underground river."

"You stay at Gao Laozhuang for three days. If you are lucky, someone will take you there."

"Well, I won't bother you if I have no chance. I know what I'm doing."

Shen Lian signaled Jade Rabbit to follow Madam White Bone back to the inner gate of the Plague Department, then activated the Dragon Fish Robe to restrain his breath, and went into Gao Village with Myna.
