You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 331 Emergency in the South

After entering the dense forest, the trees became more and more numerous, and it became a bit difficult for larger ships to move, and bumps and collisions were inevitable.

Zuo Chen simply let everyone get off the boat, put the reluctant boat into his sleeve, and then used the cloud-flying technique to fly into the air.

Finally, as Caiyi was trembling, a large cloud of mist fell on the central plain of the dense forest.

When the clouds came near the ground, the little foxes in the open space shouted and looked at that direction curiously.

There were many timid people who wanted to come over to see the fun but didn't dare to get too close, so they could only hide in the haystacks and poke their heads out to peek.

The brave ones would just run under the clouds and circle around, watching the figures on the clouds chirping.

When they saw Zhu Laoba jumping down from the clouds, the foxes cheered and ran over to greet him.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Laoba was surrounded.

The densely packed little foxes began to circle around Zhu Laoba, calling his name as they did so. Zhu Laoba also followed them. After circling around for two circles, the demon king, who was about to reach the level of a terrestrial immortal, actually felt a little dizzy and began to dry heave beside him, holding onto a tree stump.

Li Yaojiu walked up to Zhu Laoba and patted him on the back.

The tiger and the monkey-headed Lin Zhongsheng, who were about to come forward to reminisce about the past, looked at each other in bewilderment after seeing this scene.

"My dear mother, Zhu Lao Ba actually has a lover."

"This guy is so stupid, how come this girl likes him?"

The noise of the two men reached Zhu Laoba's ears. Zhu Laoba turned his head in anger, and the other two demon kings then shut up.

Zuo Chen was watching these bad friends getting along with each other with a smile, when he suddenly saw Master Lin Xi walking slowly towards him not far away.

She bowed towards Zuo Chen:

"Friend Zuo, it's been a while since we last met."

"How is the Master these days?"

"Of course." Lin Xi smiled and looked around: "With these little foxes accompanying me, I feel a lot younger in my mentality."

Then he asked, "I wonder what you want to talk to me about today?"

"It's a long story, let's find a place to talk slowly."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi nodded and took Zuo Chen directly to the side of the pool.

With a slight wave of his hand, two lotus flowers floated directly to the shore. Zuo Chen and Dashi rode on the lotus flowers and arrived at the center of the lake.

The Bodhisattva summoned a larger flower leaf, placed two teacups on it, filled them with tea, and then waited for Zuo Chen to ask questions.

Zuo Chen was not polite either. While drinking tea, he told Lin Xi everything he had learned outside during this period of time.

At first, Lin Xi seemed to be listening to some interesting gossip, but the more she listened, the more serious her expression became.

"Three awakenings?"

"Yes. This Buddha is quite accomplished. His roots are most likely the integration of the past, present and future Buddhas."

Lin Xi obviously had a headache:

"I have been to Mount Lingshan with the Bodhisattva, and I have indeed seen the three Buddhas. But in my opinion, they are all kind and compassionate, and have great wisdom and enlightenment. Why did they become like this?"

"Who knows."

Zuo Chen didn't intend to continue to dwell on this matter.

After all, now that things have happened, the most important thing is to find a way to get rid of the thief as soon as possible.

"Great Master, do you know where to learn the wonderful Dharma of the Three Corpses?"

Hearing Zuo Chen's question, Lin Xi showed a helpless expression on his face:

"This wonderful method is beyond the ability of my level to master. If you ask me, I really can't answer you."

Zuo Chen sighed helplessly.

Among the cultivators from ancient times in Daliang today, Zuo Chen really couldn’t find anyone else to consult about this matter except Lin Xi.

Lin Xi also noticed Zuo Chen's current distress. She recalled for a while and said with a somewhat uncertain tone:

"When I left the sea of ​​suffering, I did take with me a wonderful treasure from the Bodhisattva."

"Oh?"

"That is the Bodhisattva's favorite scripture. He always holds it in his hands and reads it. He won't let you take a peek even if you want to. Before leaving the sea of ​​suffering, the Bodhisattva left this book in the pond. You never know what you need on top of it."

"Where is the booklet now? Can you lend it to me to take a look?" Zuo Chen suddenly became excited.

But Lin Xi showed a helpless expression on his face:

"I told you before that before I climbed Mount Wangwu, I was hit by a huge wave in the Sea of ​​Bitterness. I was unconscious at the time, flying crookedly, and had no idea what was on my back. When I woke up and went to look for the book on my back, it had disappeared. I don't know if it fell off my back when I was flying, or if it was taken away by someone." Zuo Chen held his forehead again.

I didn't expect that the clue I had finally obtained would be lost like this.

“Does the book have a name?”

"No, the book originally had no name, but the cover was made of cloth with a lotus embroidered on it. It contained a wonderful Dharma. If you could see it, it should be easy to identify."

Nodding and taking note of the matter, Zuo Chen decided to ask the Daliang royal family to help look for it.

This kind of thing is best done by mobilizing earthly powers. It would be a bit difficult for him to just fly around like a headless fly on his own.

After discussing this matter, Zuo Chen turned his head slightly and looked at Zhu Laoba who was not far away. Now the foxes were carrying Zhu Laoba and Li Yaojiu all over the plain garden, as if they were riding on a fox express.

Jinfeng Yuyue and the little baby were also behind, following along and making noises, wanting to play too.

"They seem to be having a lot of fun." Lin Xi sighed.

"It's a good thing. Only when you are free from worries and concerns and feel safe and at ease can you laugh heartily. Of course, that's a good thing."

"If you say so, it is true."

The two chatted and laughed for a while.

Just when Lin Xi was about to invite Zuo Chen to stay in the forest for a day, Zuo Chen's communication sachet suddenly vibrated.

After picking it up and checking it, I found that it was a message from Li Rongxian.

Zuo Chen could see the curiosity in Lin Xi's eyes, so he took out a sachet from his arms and gave it to her. He briefly explained to her how to use it. While Lin Xi was studying it, Zuo Chen answered Li Rongxian's call.

Soon, Zuo Chen saw Li Rongxian behind the smoke.

Zuo Chen also discovered that Li Rongxian's young and immature face was filled with tension and anxiety.

Only after he saw Zuo Chen did his expression ease a little.

"What happened?"

Zuo Chen vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he pressed the issue.

Li Rongxuan said repeatedly:

"Master, something happened in the south."

"south?"

"Yes, in Yangzhou in the south, where King Xuan is. A sect called the Holy Lotus Sect of the Eternal Coming has appeared there. They have gathered their troops and are fighting with the soldiers of Yangzhou."

Hearing Li Rongxian's words, Zuo Chen's heart moved slightly.

If it was just a normal military battle, Li Rongxian probably wouldn't send me a message.

I'm afraid this so-called sect has something extraordinary in its hands.

As expected, Li Rongxian immediately introduced to Zuo Chen the strange aspects of the sect.

“I heard that the sect fished out a corpse from the southern ocean. The corpse had a pale face and a lotus in its left eye. It didn’t look like a dead person. Its skin could be broken and blood could flow, but it wasn’t breathing.

"It also possesses the power of mysterious magic. Its blood can revive the dead. Just sitting beside it will improve your Taoism. You can even comprehend many mysterious magics. Its level is basically the same as that of other sects, and some can even catch up with the magical powers of the aristocratic families.

"They wanted to dominate the world by this means, so they attacked Yangzhou City and wanted to capture King Xuan alive."

Zuo Chen thought for a moment:

"Is there any side effect of practicing around that corpse?"

"That's right." Li Rongxian showed a helpless bitter smile on his face: "We didn't intend to tell you about this, we just sent some cavalry to support, and happened to capture a few believers in Yangzhou.

"It wasn't until we actually saw them that we realized something was wrong. I'm afraid we'll have to ask you, Taoist Priest, to take action yourself.

“Those followers are no longer human. Their bodies are full of sawdust, branches sticking out of their skin, roots tangled, and petals blooming on their bodies. Rather than being human, they are more like trees covered in human skin.

“The most serious thing is…

"There is something wrong with the blood of these believers. It is no longer red, but a light golden color. If someone gets soaked in this blood, they can infect others."

Hearing this, Zuo Chen's expression finally became serious.

"What's the specific situation?"

"One of our soldiers accidentally had his skin punctured while fighting them. Two days later, a large area of ​​his skin turned into trees. The library sent many teachers to try to treat him, but none of them could do anything.

"Seven days later, the infected soldier completely turned into a half-human, half-wood creature, mumbling:

"Long live the Holy Lotus for all eternity, long live the eternal life and death for all eternity."
