After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 220 219. The Demon Dragon on the Left, the Demon Mother on the Right, and the Bodhi Tree Planted in the Heart (6.5K words - Large chapter, please subscribe)
Although the mind is strong, the only way to recover or make further progress is "life energy".

In the past, at the Soul Threshold of the Ice Realm, although the Nine-Child Demon Mother had lost "one son" by Song Yan, she quickly recovered the "one son" through sacrifice.

But later, in front of the Tianzun Secret Realm, the Nine-son Demon Mother had four sons killed by Song Yan. After escaping back to the Sea of ​​Bitterness, she never had the chance to go out again, let alone offer sacrifice and recover.

Song Yan stepped on the boat-shaped weapon, put his two fingers together, and planned to use the Xuanlong sword to launch a sneak attack.

The situation has changed. Here, there is no possibility of reconciliation between him and the Demon Mother, so there is no need to pretend to be nice.

However, this place is the Sea of ​​Bitterness, the opponent's home ground, and he is very unfamiliar with the battlefield illusion here, so he must be extra careful.

But the Demon Mother was surprisingly patient. The five shackles she was holding slowly sank into the sea of ​​suffering, just like a noble lady walking her dog who accidentally met an old friend. She said in a delicate voice, "It is fate that brings us together. My husband, if I don't entertain you well, it would seem that I have lost my manners."

Song Yan's pupils narrowed slightly.

The first thing he thought about was not responding to the Demon Mother's words, but why the Demon Mother was using words to delay time.

The Demon Mother continued to speak to herself: "My husband, when we were in the human world, you and I had some grievances, but I think that what happened is in the past. What's the point of dwelling on it? We all need to look forward. Why don't you and I cooperate?"

Song Yan saw it.

His eyes discovered that under the sea behind him, there was a group of hidden transparent silk threads rapidly surging. Each of those silk threads was connected to an extremely dense obsession, and each obsession was reciting a Buddhist scripture in misery. Behind them were the outlines of five boys.

The boy was shackled with the demon mother again.

If you think about it for a moment, this scene is like a fisherman pulling a fishing net, and he is the big fish in the center of the net.

Song Yan no longer hesitated. He ignored the nonsense the Demon Mother was still talking about and rushed towards the Demon Mother with his powerful Yu Sha Bao. There was a faint light hidden in his hand, and he would attack as soon as she got a little closer.

The Demon Mother was not surprised to see that he had seen through her trick, but she said nothing more. She retreated violently and laughed tenderly, "Boy, it seems that I am not the only one who has a grudge against you! Today, you will definitely die!"

By the end of his words, there was already a deep sense of resentment.

The next moment, the Demon Mother flew away like a nimble butterfly, and the bitter sea water behind her separated into two in a boiling, rumbling and violent wave.

A huge demon shadow visible to the naked eye emerged from the bottom of the water, and the deep red scales on its body looked extremely gorgeous and dangerous in this monotonous black and white world.

In the water, the dragon's head was ferocious, its lips were cold, and its fangs were bared.

Song Yan's pupils constricted.

The moment he heard the Demon Mother's words and saw the red dragon, he realized that he had fallen into a trap as expected.

What Yin Yang Xuanlong said before his death, "My elder brother and second sister will avenge me," was a complete trap.

If this crimson fire dragon is included, the Yin-Yang Dragon has at least three companions.

But it is deliberately said as two.

What's even more amazing is that Song Yan has not been able to verify this for many years, but the journey to the Sea of ​​Bitterness is imperative, so after being as cautious as possible, he set off, but still fell into a trap.

It is true that "when the devil is about to die, his words are evil".
This light sentence had a huge misleading effect and pushed Song Yan into a desperate situation.

However, Song Yan's caution does not mean that he is cowardly.

On the contrary, he never shrinks back when it comes to being crazy.

With a mad dragon in front and a demon baby behind, plus the demon mother watching covetously beside him, and the sound of the strange Buddhist country chanting under his feet, Song Yan suddenly calmed down, his eyes filled with extreme madness.
Who can never make mistakes?
When we meet on a narrow road, we can only fight. What is there to be afraid of? !

'I have loved, hated, experienced pleasure, and lived a life of luxury. Although I am reluctant to let go, why should I fear death? ! '

'What's more, it's still unknown who will win! '

The dragon stirred up bitter sea waves. When the sea breeze blew, Song Yan's black hair flew back wildly like a swirling devil flame. With a smile on his lips, he said coldly: "Evil beast, you are courting death!"

brush!
He summoned the Black Dragon Sword.

However, the sea of ​​suffering was filled with strong obsessions, and he did not plan to fly in the air with his sword to avoid any accidents.

Standing on a light boat and holding a sharp sword in hand.

The fire dragon is coming.

The sharp sword slashed out.

boom!
Song Yan flew backwards, the boat broke through the waves, and when it landed, it was dozens of feet away, but Song Yan only felt a slight numbness in his palm.

On the other side, a scale on the Fire Dragon's cheek was actually cut in half.

The atmosphere was extremely quiet for a while, and both sides seemed unable to believe that the other side was so strong.

Just as he was stunned, the Demon Mother came around from behind the Fire Dragon, raised her hand, and the water of the Sea of ​​Bitterness parted with a splash, and five demon babies grabbed the "fishing net" and burst out of the water.

Song Yanyuzhou dodged.

At this moment, the Fire Dragon arrived again.

Song Yan raised his sword and swung it.

boom!
Song Yan retreated again, and there were already slight cracks on the knuckles.

Another scale on the Fire Dragon's body broke.

Just as Song Yan was retreating, the Demon Mother shook the chains and released the five demon babies. The demon babies acted on their own, pulling the fishing nets to hunt Song Yan; the Demon Mother waved the shackles and attacked Song Yan one after another.

Song Yan raised his left arm and shook out five chains.

Five locks against five locks.

Ding!
Song Yan's lock was repelled, and his lock was still inferior to the genuine one.

But Song Yan's right hand had already swung out the Xuanlong Sword.

Whoosh!
The Demon Mother seemed to recognize the power of his sword, and hurriedly lifted the chain to avoid direct contact between her chain and the sword. Her sinister eyes stared straight at the sword in Song Yan's hand, and she teased: "Boy, where did you get this sword? Give it to me, and I will leave you with an intact body."

Song Yan slashed the air with his sword and smiled. The Demon Mother just felt that she had won, so she was just talking trash.

He didn't have time to answer, because behind the Demon Mother who was temporarily forced back, the Fire Dragon came flying again.

He roared and swung his sword to fight again.

The small boat on the sea of ​​suffering was traveling above the eerie and vast Buddhist sounds. The young man put one foot at the back of the boat and the other at the front, holding a long sword in his hand, moving left and right with the sword flashing, as he fought with the evil dragon and the demon mother who were rushing towards him in succession like a rainstorm without any gap in the sea.

The boat was swaying and drifting, the ocean currents were chaotic, and Song Yan had no idea where he was. All he could do was try his best to observe the flaws of the two sea creatures in front of him, intending to kill one first even if he had to get hurt.

Logically speaking, it would be best to kill the Demon Mother first, as the Demon Mother is no match for him, but the Demon Mother is extremely fast, and she frequently casts numerous phantoms in the Sea of ​​Bitterness; and although the Fire Dragon is relatively slow, it is powerful and powerful, and every attack forces Song Yan to raise his hand to resist; the two cooperate with each other, one fast and one slow, one hard and one soft, and they have an extremely tacit understanding.

Add to that the demon baby that was eager to try in the sea, the strange sounds of chanting and wooden fish under his feet, the wild flow of the bitter sea water, and the vague reflections of strange buildings in the deep sea, Song Yan had to be extremely careful at all times.

As the battle continued, Song Yan felt that his body was inexplicably burdened in the sea of ​​suffering. His body, soul, and spirit, which were extremely powerful in the human world, seemed extremely stiff here. Because all the life energy emitted by his body, soul, and spirit were trying their best to lure the obsession in the sea of ​​suffering, it was not a big deal because of the evil treasure covering him, but now in the battle, the evil treasure under his feet could no longer provide him with complete cover, which made his breath leak wildly, as if he was bleeding in a sea of ​​man-eating sharks.
The thick eyelids above the Fire Demon Dragon's dragon pupils slightly lifted, and the pupils below suddenly focused, reflecting the shadow of Song Yan flying in the air because of the attack.

It took a deep breath, and its entire body glowed red.

Immediately afterwards, the obsession in front of it, which contained a lot of bitter sea water, suddenly turned into a cannonball and rushed towards Song Yan in mid-air.

Song Yan wanted to dodge, but his pupils shrank quickly, because the rushing water from the bitter sea was filled with a power that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

"It's a soul explosion!!!"

The soul explosion here is simply terrifying.

"No. It's like a soul explosion, not a soul explosion!"

In mid-air, the Demon Mother laughed and said, "Boy, you have never tasted the fire of hell, have you? Feel it for yourself."

While speaking, it did not sit idle, but instead kept lurking around, dragging the empty chain, ready for a sneak attack.

laugh!
Tsk tsk tsk! !

An unimaginable scene unfolded before Song Yan's eyes. The dark sea of ​​obsession suddenly broke apart, transforming from a thick solidified state into a dissipated burning state, and in an instant it became a raging black fire in the cave.

The black fire came towards him like a tumbleweed. Song Yan tried to hide, but there was nowhere to hide because the karma fire was chasing his soul and taking his life!

brush!
The sword flashed.

The black fire split into two halves and swept across Song Yan's body.

Snapped!
The boat-shaped evil treasure under his feet had been completely burned to ashes.

At the moment before falling into the sea, he stomped hard on the water, causing the surface of the sea composed of thousands of obsessions to sink and explode. He then swung his sword, which turned into light, and slashed towards the Demon Mother.

The Demon Mother was still thinking about a sneak attack, but she didn't expect that the first moment Song Yan fell into the sea, he didn't recover or summon the evil weapon again, but fought desperately with it, so his reaction was a little slow.

But it still hurriedly lifted the shackles and locked them towards Song Yan's sword, while laughing sweetly: "I want this sword!"

Two figures met in mid-air like lightning.

Ding!
After a crisp sound, one of the Demon Mother's five remaining locks broke, and that lock was caught in Song Yan's hand.

One of the five demon babies lurking in the sea turned around and flew away quickly as if it had been pardoned.

Song Yan grabbed the shackle, closed his eyes slightly, and used his wisdom to refine it. In an instant, the shackle appeared in his hand.

He became six locks, while the Demon Mother became four locks.

Song Yan smiled and said, "I want this lock."

While he was laughing, he felt a sharp pain in his side. He looked around and saw that the flesh and blood on his left arm that had been touched by the karma fire had been destroyed. Coupled with the violent impact, blood was already dripping from the wound.

The fire dragon was looking at his blood and extending its claws.

Song Yan saw strange words in the center of its thick and sharp claws.

The text appeared in an instant.

The moment it appeared, his blood disappeared.

At the same time, Song Yan felt that the power of the Fire Dragon became slightly stronger, while he became slightly weaker.

Song Yan hurriedly tried to heal his wounds, but the wounds caused by the karma fire seemed impossible to heal.

If he were in the human world, his body might be able to hold on for a while, but in the sea of ​​suffering, his body has been weakened to the extreme, so what else can he do?
A strong sense of restraint arose in his heart.

He pursued freedom, but at this moment, this body became a burden.

Can you give up?
How can it be?

He had worked hard all the way, using the Nine Bloods of the Dragon Elephant, the One Step to the Sky, and the ancient divine infant method of "The Law of Dragon Burial", which allowed his body to reach such a level.

How could he give up?

What's more, his natal embryo has been integrated into it, so how can he give it up?

At this moment, he felt something in his heart, and saw the red shadow in the deep sea raised its head again, and molten karma fire broke through the air.

Song Yan swings his sword!

cut!
The fire of karma is divided into two!

This time, he was not touched by the karma fire, but the intense movement caused blood to splatter on his left arm.

The Fire Dragon continued to stretch out its claws. As the blood disappeared, the Fire Dragon became slightly stronger, and Song Yan became slightly weaker.

Song Yan suddenly swept the panel and saw that the progress on [Small Heavenly Dao Text - Introduce] had changed.

He was in the Heart Demon Sword Prison, broke through the door to the Rusty Sword Slave Courtyard, and consolidated his power at the Six Desires Sword Stone, which enabled him to break through [Small Heavenly Dao Characters - Introduction] and reached the progress of "(30/100)".

But just like that, after being burned by the karmic fire, the progress of [Small Heavenly Dao Characters - Introduction] actually changed from "(30/100)" to "(29/100)".

For a moment, Song Yan was even stunned on the spot.

Because at this moment, he has connected some information together.

“Yin” is the natal character of the Lord of this world;
The reason why he was able to achieve such a physique was due to the "Law of Dragon Burial" given to him by the Lord of Heaven and Earth;
Now, his physical condition was damaged, and the progress of the word "Yin" was also affected.

Is it possible that his body was also designed by the Lord of Heaven and Earth?

Of course, it may not be the case, but he may be overly suspicious. After all, this is his body. He may not know whether there is a problem or not.
But, for someone like him who has been involved in the conspiracy of the devil, everything is possible. Who can tell the truth from the false? ! Who can tell the difference? ! ! After rolling around in this world, who is not covered with invisible cause and effect? ​​! !

He designs people, people design him, the visible and the invisible, the ones who have appeared and the ones who have not yet appeared
Endless and mixed thoughts suddenly flooded into Song Yan's mind.

And just at the moment when he was confused, he felt his limbs tighten. He glanced over and saw that the four shackles of the Demon Mother had locked his limbs, fixing him in mid-air.

In the bitter sea, the fire of the Fire Demon Dragon has already condensed, and the surrounding sea water seems to melt into glass, presenting a dark cloud texture.
It can be imagined that after this blow, Song Yan’s injuries must have been even more serious.

In a flash, Song Yan's thoughts raced like lightning.

He suddenly realized something: after he killed the Wuxiang Ancestor and Yin Yang Xuanlong, he should have concluded the final cause and effect, and his understanding of the "original state of mind" had indeed become much deeper.

but.
It's just profound.

Since “natal characters” are the natal characters, they should be unique.

To put it simply, his original artistic conception is "freedom".

But, is he really at ease?

Song Yan glanced at his body. The textures on his body were complicated and messy, as if they were hinting at something.

The next moment.
The waves of the bitter sea turned into black rainbows, which flew out from the mouth of the fire dragon and headed straight towards him.

Determination flashed in Song Yan's pupils. He spun violently, dragging the Demon Mother in the air with his huge force to dance along.

The Demon Mother hurriedly loosened the chains and looked at the young man covered in blood, holding the sword in both hands and slashing towards the hellish fire.

boom!
The karmic fire split into two again.

Song Yan passed through the fire, suffering greater injuries and bleeding more. The progress of [Small Heavenly Dao Characters - Lead] was slowed down even more.

This time, he used too much force and dived directly into the sea. Fortunately, the Xuanlong Sword is also a sword of divine consciousness. At this time, it transformed into a ball of divine consciousness light shield, blocking out the obsessions that surged in from the sea of ​​suffering.

After the Demon Mother put away the shackles, she quickly paid attention to the movements on the sea, and at the same time controlled the Demon Baby to grab the fishing net and rush towards Song Yan in the sea.

brush!
The demon baby got nothing.

This was not unexpected to the Demon Mother.

But what surprised the Demon Mother was that Song Yan did not emerge from the sea.

On the other side, when the Fire Demon Dragon had just spit out a mouthful of hellfire and was about to spit out a second mouthful, it also discovered this abnormality.

Its karmic fire is fueled by obsession, but there are so many obsessions in the sea, so its karmic fire is useless in the sea.

But, who would cross the sea and dive into the sea?

This kind of thing has never happened since the creation of this world.

Isn't this crazy?

Both the Fire Dragon and the Demon Mother were stunned, and then quickly searched for Song Yan's whereabouts.

In the eyes of both, the mad human had already descended to the deepest part while they were negligent.

The spiritual shield around him had been compressed to the point of being on the verge of breaking at any moment, and blood was flowing all over his body, so that the blood was swirling around the shield like red gauze, but his eyes flashed with coldness and madness.

Song Yan stood at the place where the Buddhist sounds were the loudest, in front of an ancient black temple that stood upside down in the deep sea. This was a building of the corrupt thoughts layer, a maze of obsession that embodied obsession, and a place similar to Jianxiang.

The next moment, in front of the completely stunned eyes of the Fire Dragon and the Demon Mother, Song Yan suddenly pushed open the door of the black ancient temple, and then stepped in frantically.

In an instant, the world turned upside down.

It doesn’t matter which side is positive and which side is negative.

The important thing is that there is a glimmer of hope here.

Song Yan is never someone who gives up easily.

Bang!
The moment Song Yan stepped into the black ancient temple, a strange sense of familiarity came over him, as if he belonged here.

He shook his head and looked behind him. The door was gone, replaced by quiet stone steps leading down the mountain. Unfortunately, the stone steps seemed to be in the clouds, surrounded by misty air. They were neither in the sky nor on the earth, but seemed to be on an isolated island in the sea of ​​clouds.

This was not the first time he had seen this situation. It was the same when he entered the gate of the Heart Demon Sword Prison before.

But the difference is that the Heart Demon Sword Prison seems to be far inferior to this place.

At this moment, the voice of an old monk came from the depths of the Zen sect.

"Shami, it's already morning, why don't you go and dry the palm leaf scrolls in the sun?"

Song Yan glanced quickly and raised his hands slightly.

There was no bloody clothes or wounds on his body, only a gray robe.

He responded and stepped into the temple.

There was a pond beside the temple. He walked by the pond and looked inside with the help of the reflection. He saw a strong, handsome monk in gray with lustful eyes and seductive red lips reflected on the surface of the pond.

A monk who looks like this can only be a demon monk!
At this moment, Song Yan had some understanding in his mind.

In fact, most of his spiritual power came from the "Four Truths Demon Monk", but logically speaking, the "Four Truths Demon Monk" was already complete and should have turned into a corrupted life form like the Nine-Child Demon Mother, but it made no progress. No matter how Song Yan thought about it, he could not go any further.

He once thought that the opportunity for the "Four Noble Truths Demon Monk" to make further progress might be in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, but he never thought that he would come to this "ancient temple that might be an opportunity" in such a way.

He seemed to be quite familiar with this temple. He walked up the mossy steps and stepped into the library through the half-open door. He carefully took out the palm leaf scriptures from the library, and then lay on the ground in front of a large hall in the center of the ancient temple, carefully spreading them out so that every volume of the palm leaf scriptures could be exposed to the sun.

He tried to read the text on the palm leaf scroll, but all he saw was ordinary Buddhist scriptures, nothing special.

At this time, the scolding sound from the old monk's eyes came from the depths of Zen again.

"Shami, what's so interesting about the scriptures?"

"The Dharma is originally wordless, so why should it be restricted by ink? The essence of Zen lies in the heart.

Don’t seek the truth from the palm leaf, the heart lamp is wrong! Wrong! Wrong! "

"Now that you have broken the precepts against lewdness, killing, stealing, and lying, you can already attain enlightenment. Why don't you quickly seek the Bodhi in your heart and water it with the true meaning of the Four Noble Truths, allowing it to decay. Only then can the Bodhi enter your heart."

"Go ahead. It's not easy to achieve the Four Noble Truths. The Bodhi tree is in the back mountain. Don't waste time."

The devil monk Song Yan stood up, bowed towards the depths of the Zen gate, then stepped out of the ancient temple and went towards the back mountain.

No matter how evil this power was, he had no choice.

Here, everything seems to be calm and peaceful, without any bloodshed or killing.

In the mountains, the sound of pine wind and Buddhist chants, the morning light shines through, and in the distance, the sound of bells rings, each with a strange and solemn tone.
Along the way, Song Yan saw gray-robed monks from time to time, but these monks were either holding swords to kill, or holding women to have sex, or stirring up trouble in the crowd, or walking in the mountains and stealing.
Deep in the mountains, the fog is thick.

Song Yan waved his hand, and the market, women, and people all disappeared, leaving only the gray-robed monk running wildly with his head in his hands.

For some reason, when the gray-robed monks saw him, they would subconsciously lower their heads and hide away, screaming "He is about to attain Bodhi", "He is about to realize the formless Bodhi, run", "Run, don't get caught by him".

Song Yan seemed to be thinking about something and continued to move forward.

The dusk was as dark as blood. A huge green tree stood at the end of Song Yan's sight. Its iron-colored branches hung down, and a new moon was faintly visible between the treetops.
Song Yan walked up to the tree and sat cross-legged.

For a moment, he felt all kinds of obscene, murderous, deceitful and stealing thoughts in his mind becoming more and more intense.

These thoughts were like water flowing towards the lush green tree.

The tree gradually withered and decayed, all the golden light disappeared, and the tree disappeared with it.

But Song Yan could clearly sense where the tree was.

The tree was right at his heart.

He was still the strong demon monk with evil eyes and seductive lips, but at some point, his grey robe, like that of his "henchman", had turned completely black, pitch black and without any luster!

And in his heart, there is a rotten, bumpy Bodhi tree filled with many holes.

Song Yan counted.

Eighteen.

Almost instinctively, he suddenly walked quickly out of the mountain.

Along the way, when he passed through the mountain road, he saw gray-robed monks doing things called "implementing the truth" deep in the fog.

Song Yan stepped forward quickly, and the monk immediately noticed it. He screamed, and ran away without even bothering to continue.

Song Yan continued to wander in the mountains.

I don't know how long it took, but he finally approached a lecherous monk who was having sex with a woman silently, and then grabbed the monk.

Tree roots suddenly emerged from his palm.

The gray-robed monk realized it belatedly and screamed, "Mercy, mercy, abbot!"

Song Yan pulled suddenly, and the roots of the tree pierced through the gray-robed demon monk, and then dragged him into the hole of the Bodhi tree.

As the gray-robed monk entered the Bodhi tree, he suddenly became pious, clasped his hands together, and chanted scriptures devoutly.

Song Yan could feel that the monk's power had completely belonged to him, and he could order the evil monk to do anything at any time.

Do not!
This statement is inaccurate. What is accurate is that this evil monk was converted by him.

After a brief perception, Song Yan scanned the remaining "seventeen holes" on the Bodhi tree, and began to convert the demon monks all over the mountains and fields, and then sent those who were predestined into the holes of the Bodhi tree.

There is a Bodhi tree in your heart, which can save the people in this world.

Such a Zen-like statement is so evil here that it is simply outrageous.

However, Song Yan didn't care. During the process of conversion, he had already known that if the "devil monk" was the obsession layer, then this "Abbot Bodhi" was the corrupt thought layer.

He is rapidly improving his strength in the corrupt thought layer.

Once everything is perfected, he will leave this ancient temple. If the Demon Mother and the Fire Dragon are still lurking outside, they will fight again.
