Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 188 Gods and Buddhas have no justice, and the three realms are full of evil

"This golden fire flag can be used as a disposable magic weapon that can be used repeatedly. It can detonate the power of the earth fire that has been accumulated for twenty years at once. It is quite impressive."

"The Buddhist mantra on this Vajra Sword will greatly dissipate the murderous aura, but my Five Elements Sword Intention is one of the most stable sword intentions in the world. As long as the time of use is controlled, it can still be a sharp weapon. The most important thing is that the sword is of great quality. It can be used as a shield in an emergency when there is a fight."

After completely refining the two fifth-grade inferior magic weapons, Lu Cheng walked out from his hiding place.

The cave where that senior stranger lived was built by Tumu Island for the master monk who had lived in Dongxuan Pavilion for a long time. In such a hurry, even Lu Cheng could not rent a cave nearby.

Therefore, Lu Cheng and Fang Shiman hid in a nearby mountain-shaped pavilion. Fang Shiman watched the situation from outside, while Lu Cheng found a hidden place to perform water mist magic. At this time, Lu Cheng came out to change people, but saw Fang Shiman sitting behind a stone table in the pavilion, with an old man in white clothes and gray hair standing beside her, who was constantly saying something to her.

At first, Lu Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong. He just thought that his junior sister had met someone she was more compatible with. However, after taking a few steps closer, Lu Cheng keenly discovered that Fang Shiman's expression was abnormal. Only her pair of big eyes were rolling around. When she saw his anxious look, she couldn't say a word.

"The world is full of suffering, and spiritual practice is difficult. One sinks into depravity and struggles, unable to be liberated. Only by taking refuge in the Buddha can one transcend the sea of ​​suffering and reach the other shore!"

"No, no. Gods and Buddhas are without virtue, the three realms are full of sin, and they are all deceiving people with lies. The sea of ​​suffering is endless and there is no liberation..."

"My fellow Taoist has a connection with my Buddha. Why don't you convert to my sect and enjoy the positive results in the future!"

"Liars, all liars! Hahahahahahahaha"

"The sea of ​​suffering is endless. Turn back and you will find the shore. Why don't you quickly convert to Buddhism?"

Lu Cheng approached step by step and found that the old man in white clothes and gray hair standing next to Junior Sister Fang was speaking incoherently and inconsistently.

It's not just the words, but also the expression and manner of this person. One moment he looks compassionate and solemn, and the next moment he looks crazy, angry and cruel, as if he wants to choose someone and kill everyone in the world.

Therefore, his originally handsome face was now filled with madness.

At this time, the other party also noticed Lu Cheng who was getting closer. Lu Cheng had to get closer. Third Uncle had handed Junior Sister Fang to him, so he had to return her safely.

"Damn you bald thief!"

The gray-haired old man, who had been relatively calm, suddenly became furious and shot out a solid flame from his raised palm. The flame was a mixture of gold and red, and it seemed substantial. It was vaguely similar to the Great Sun Divine Power that Lu Cheng practiced, but it was completely different.

Clang.

Lu Cheng summoned his flying sword immediately.

Facing this Vajra Flame, the Wood Attribute Falling Treasure Branch was greatly restrained, and the Green Scale Needle was not enough to rely on. The only options left for Lu Cheng were: the combination of the Five Elements Flying Swords and the newly acquired Gold and Fire Flag and Vajra Sword.

Lu Cheng chose the Vajra Sword. This sword was attached with a Buddhist mantra, and its refining method was very different from that of the Taoist flying sword. It lacked murderous aura, but its consumption of spiritual consciousness was far lower than that of ordinary flying swords of the same level.

Dangdangdangdang...

The Vajra Sword and the palm flames of the gray-haired old man exchanged dozens of blows in an instant. The Vajra Sword was originally an extremely strong flying sword, but in this head-on collision, the sword body actually twisted and turned, greatly reducing the force without damaging the sword body. It was due to the superb swordsmanship of Lu Cheng that he could turn the steel into something as soft as silk.

The gray-haired old man in front of him, although his magic power was deep and violent, was in a trance. Lu Cheng took on his palm force dozens of times head-on.

The sword light changed, and it actually took advantage of the gap to pull Fang Shiman out. She was indeed hit by the immobilization spell. Lu Cheng surrounded himself with sword energy and helped her get rid of it.

"Brother Lu, this person suddenly appeared, froze me, and asked me to convert to Buddhism!"

Fang Shiman was also frightened and in a state of confusion.

At this moment, the gray-haired old man seemed even more furious because she was rescued.

"Gods and Buddhas have no justice, the three realms are full of sin, the sea of ​​suffering is endless, and there is no liberation!"

He waved his hands to control the seals, and then swung them out violently. A large ball of solid diamond flame locked onto the soul and broke through the air, attacking Lu Cheng and Fang Shiman.

"There's no need to die in the endless sea of ​​suffering, right?"

Lu Cheng cursed inwardly, but he had to deal with the opponent's attack with all his strength.

He brought out the Vajra Sword, and the pure sword light turned in the air, transforming into sword energy and thunder sound, slashing along the edge of the Vajra flame. The sword light passed by, and the sword fire split, breaking three of the fire's roundness and flawlessness.

Lu Cheng quickly cut off his connection with the Vajra Sword and took Fang Shiman and retreated five steps with the Five Elements Step to create a large distance.

Then he controlled the seals with both hands and suddenly, five flying swords flew out from all around Lu Cheng. The five colored light of blue, red, white, yellow and black flowed and changed, and finally quickly turned into a ball of light, gathering in the center, and the five swords became one.

Finally, the five elements of flying swords gathered together and turned into a divine sword that broke through the air. The divine light was restrained, the sword energy was soaring into the sky, and it rushed head-on into the diamond flame coming from the front.

The sword light and flames were in a stalemate for a moment, and then the sword energy and burning wind exploded.

Boom.

Even though he used the Vajra Sword to break a third of the fire's power, Lu Cheng still suffered some losses in the fight with the remaining Vajra flames.

Most of the flames, burning winds, and sword energy blew towards Lu Cheng and Fang Shiman, but both of them had a deep foundation in Taoism, so they were not injured.

At this moment, the old man in white clothes and gray hair suddenly appeared behind Lu Cheng and Fang Shiman, reaching out to grab them.

But this time his target is Lucheng.

hum hum...

Just as the old man's palm approached, suddenly, there was a buzzing sound and golden light flew everywhere. A large number of poisonous golden silkworm Gu flew out from the void around Lu Cheng and blocked it back.

It seems slow, but in fact it happened from the moment Lu Cheng broke through the barrier, to the fight with the old man, to the rescue of Fang Shiman and the final fight with sword energy and magic power.

The whole process took an extremely short time, and the two sides fought each other in just a few breaths.

However, such commotion here has attracted the attention of the monks of Tumu Island. Dongxuan Pavilion is one of the most important industries on Tumu Island. Anyone who makes trouble here is almost equivalent to declaring war on Tumu Island.

In the sky, several sword lights were already flying across the sky, and the gray-haired old man saw this scene and could only quickly escape.

"This person has profound skills and amazing magical powers. Fortunately, he is crazy and has a weak grasp of the opportunity. Otherwise, I would not be his opponent."

Lu Cheng did not pursue him, as this was Dongxuan Pavilion and it was not his turn to make the decision.

"Who are you? What happened here just now?"

The sword lights flashed over, and they were three Jindan masters, each of them had a profound aura and amazing magical power. It was obvious that Tumu Island had indeed invested a lot here.

"Three seniors, please understand. I am Fang Shiman, a disciple of Master Mie Hongzi. This is what happened..."

Fang Shiman took the initiative to step forward and took over the negotiation. In this situation, Kun Xiu was relatively easier to talk to.

"A crazy Jindan monk who wants to convert you to Buddhism..."

As they whispered, the three looked at each other. Lu Cheng noticed that they clearly knew something but were just forcing themselves to endure it.

"We are aware of this matter. The responsibility is indeed not yours, but you should get away from this place as soon as possible to avoid encountering that crazy Taoist priest harming others again."

A middle-aged master with a beautiful beard said, "How could you stop that crazy Taoist and protect my junior sister? My little Taoist friend, your swordsmanship is amazing, and you are worthy of being the disciple of Master Huang Longzi. If you have time, you can come to my Mingxia Cave and stay for a while."

Kun Xiu, the only handsome one among the three masters, seemed to have a good impression of Lu Cheng and praised him.

In the Tongxuan Realm, there are many cases where Jindan Grandmasters marry the direct descendants of a real person with a promising future. Whether the two parties are in love or they are a strong alliance, such things always happen, which shows that there is profit in it.

"Thank you for your care, senior. I will definitely go there if I have time."

The female master was a little disappointed when she heard this. She knew she would not go ahead after hearing the Taoist's response.

The three Jindan masters from Tumu Island left quickly, and the place returned to its former tranquility.

"Brother, when do you plan to stay at Mingxia Cave? It is said that the female cultivators on Tumu Island will personally forge a magic sword for their loved ones, and you happen to be a sword lover."

Fang Shiman said this with a look of displeasure on her face, then turned and left.

Only Lu Cheng felt a little puzzled. He first fought with others for no reason, then won the favor of Senior Kunxiu of Tumudao, and then caused the displeasure of Junior Sister Fang. In addition, the handling of the matter by the three was too careless.

"Unless, this isn't the first time they've encountered this."

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng's gaze naturally fell on the cultivator's cave not far away.

No one ever came out from the main entrance of that cultivator's cave.

Lu Cheng simply spent spirit stones to hire a Qi-cultivating monk to wait here, waiting day and night for the owner of this place to go out. He and Fang Shiman continued to search for clues about the Heavenly Buddha Secret Realm and guiding spiritual objects in the sea market of Dongxuan Pavilion.

It's just that it's so hasty and it's not easy to find.

In just the past seven or eight days, through the help of the local tyrants and gossips, Lu Cheng roughly knew who lived in the cave:

He was a Jindan Grandmaster with profound magical powers named Liu Gongyi, a fifth-rank weapon refiner. He had a very high status in his early years and had close contacts with the elders of Tumu Island.

But later, he began to immerse himself in studying Buddhism, wanting to practice both Buddhism and Taoism and increase his spiritual power. But he didn't know whether it was because he didn't practice properly or what, but he gradually became crazy.

But because of his magical powers and his relationship with the senior elders of Tumu Island, no one would drive him away even if he caused some trouble.

What's more, this person is sometimes sober and can spend several years to refine a fifth-level magic weapon. Although Tumu Island is a major weapon refining sect, there are not many fifth-level weapon refiners.

"In other words, that day wasn't a coincidence at all. Did we run into the real deal?"

On the twelfth day after arriving in Dongxuan Pavilion Hai City, Lu Cheng and Fang Shiman, who were collecting clues and spiritual objects in Hai City, suddenly saw a communication talisman flying towards them.

Lu Cheng took the talisman, read the words inside, then looked at Fang Shiman beside him and nodded. Finally, someone came out.

However, the person who came out was not Liu Gongyi, but his disciple.

Being able to become a disciple of a grandmaster is an opportunity that countless people in the Tongxuan Realm dream of. It means that your path to cultivation will be countless times easier than that of others. As long as you are diligent and attentive, it is not difficult for most grandmaster disciples to reach the foundation-building stage.

If one goes one step further, he will be able to reach the Ningsha and Lian Gang realms. At that time, his life span will be nearly 400 years, and he will become a patriarch of a sect, which is already the pinnacle of most cultivators in the Tongxuan world.

But this common sense seems to be of little use to Jin Tong'er.

When Grandmaster Liu Gongyi reached the peak of his powers, he had more than twenty disciples. At that time, Liu Gongyi not only had the cultivation of a Grandmaster but was also a master of the art of weapons. The monks who wanted to become his disciples had almost broken down the threshold of his cave. However, as Liu Gongyi gradually became obsessed with Buddhist scriptures and Taoism, he began to become mentally ill, and he would beat or scold his disciples at any time, and his temperament became more and more impatient and violent.

Under such circumstances, the number of disciples in the cave decreased day by day, until it became deserted, leaving only a Taoist boy who was taken in by Liu Gongyi out of kindness to take care of his master's daily life.

Liu Gongyi was sometimes sober and would teach Jin Tong'er some Taoist techniques, but he was crazy most of the time. Naturally, Jin Tong'er's magical power level was not high, and he could barely cultivate to the peak of Qi training.

He has been stuck in this realm for many years, and it's not that he has no chance to break through. Once, someone offered him a foundation-building pill and asked him to steal a few things from his master's cave. He refused, and was beaten several times for it. But those people didn't dare to kill him after all.

"When I was young, I was a beggar. It was Master who brought me back to the cave and made me a fire-watcher. Only then did I have a full meal. So what if Master always beats people? So what if Master is crazy? As long as I, the golden boy, am alive, I will take good care of Master... As for this life, it is only thanks to Master that I am here today. Master can take it back whenever he wants."

However, in recent days, even Jin Tong'er, who had a heart as hard as iron, began to worry, because the spirit stones in the cave were becoming less and less.

In his early years, Master was extremely wealthy as a fifth-rank weapon refiner, with a net worth far exceeding that of other cultivators at the same level. Later, he became obsessed with Buddhism and spent a lot of spirit stones on buying many things. This was nothing, but later on, Master was less and less lucid and more and more confused, and he refined fewer and fewer magic weapons. His cave was like a place where he lived off his wealth, and it no longer had the atmosphere of a master's cave.

But even if there is no good fortune, the most basic spirit stones must be paid, otherwise the spiritual energy and spirit veins will be cut off by the Dongxuan Pavilion, and eventually you will even be driven out of the cave.

Jin Tong'er, who is in the late stage of Qi training and is also proficient in the art of refining weapons, can also support his master, but without this fifth-level cave, his master may never have a chance to recover his mind.

Although he accepted his fate, he still held hope in his heart. This fifth-level cave was Jin Tong'er's last hope.

Mustering up his courage, Jin Tong'er came to the room where Liu Gongyi lived.

I saw a crazy old man in a white robe and gray hair, holding a pen and writing scriptures on the wall, but he even drew the word "wan" upside down.

"Master, there are no more spiritual stones in the cave. Where are you?"

"roll!"

A roar like thunder exploded in Jin Tong'er's ears, and then, the same voice began to speak again: "They all thought I was crazy, but who knew that only I saw the truth!"

"They are all lies, they are all lies. The sea of ​​suffering is endless and there is no escape... We live in this sea of ​​suffering. Everyone will die. Everyone will die! Do you understand?"

The old man suddenly threw down his pen, came to Jin Tong'er in an instant, grabbed his shoulders and scolded him.

"Master, Master, we are all going to die!"

"Yes, yes, we are all going to die, it's best if you understand." When he said this, Liu Gongyi's expression suddenly turned soft. Although he was still holding Jin Tong'er's shoulders, he said in a gentle voice:
"Jin Tong'er, you are my best and most loyal disciple. Those idiots don't understand that Master has already figured out the true meaning of the Heavenly Buddha Sect's secret teachings. When I have figured it out completely, I will teach you the true Heavenly Buddha Dharma, so that you can enjoy the positive results in the future and save all the people in the world!"

"...Ah, no, no, they are all liars, they are all deceiving us. We can't save any of us, we can't even save ourselves."

Liu Gongyi suddenly pushed Jin Tong'er away again, almost crashing the disciple to death against the wall.

At this moment, Jin Tong'er's head was broken and bleeding. He didn't dare to ask for spirit stones anymore. He stumbled to his feet and ran outside.

Although he had already made up his mind that whenever his master wanted his life, he would let the old man take it back, but now that the time had come, he was still afraid of death. Moreover, Jin Tong'er felt that Master Liu did not want him to die, but he just could not control himself.

While running outside, the golden boy saw a room filled with treasures such as clean bottles, flower pots, white silk umbrellas, golden bows, silver halberds, treasure banners, necklaces, golden Buddhas, etc.

"It's all your fault. It's all you who have harmed Master like this."

Picking up a treasured banner, Jin Tong'er smashed it angrily.

These artifacts cost the master a lot of effort and countless spirit stones, but to cultivators they are meaningless and are just relics of the previous era.

Master has always wanted to use these to assist in comprehending the classics and obtain the Heavenly Buddha inheritance of the previous era. If he can really do that and integrate the Buddhist and Taoist lineages, then perhaps he will have a great chance to break through the barriers and at least reach the realm of a True Person cultivator in this world, or even go one step further and become the number one person in this world to cultivate the Nascent Soul stage.

It’s a pity that the master failed. He seemed to have realized something, but it made him insane.
