A master of comedy!

"Let's do it!"

In the biting mountain wind, Bao Ying suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes and said resolutely.

Without waiting for his men, he drew his sword and charged towards the rapidly disappearing Judge Temple, taking the lead and kicking open the temple door.

"How dare you! Who goes there—"

There was an old man with a white beard in the temple, who seemed to be the temple keeper. When he saw outsiders barging in, he immediately scolded them.

However, what rushed towards us were talismans flying like snowflakes.

Boom!

Flames, ice, lightning, purple aura, golden light...

The Judge Temple was instantly filled with colorful lights and chaotic magical energy. The temple rumbled and trembled, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on its surface.

Xuanqiong Division is not short of money.

Each person carries at least a hundred talismans, which they scatter at the enemy without restraint during battles, launching a barrage of attacks.

Even if you survive the talisman, there are still many deadly weapons to come, such as the Nine-Turn Thunderfire Pearl, the Qiankun Throwing Arrow, and the Five Fire Dragon-Capturing Net.

If it weren't for the time constraints, they could have even summoned tens of thousands of Thunder Pearl Fire Talismans and laid them in ambush around the area in advance.

Let alone a temple, you could blow up an entire mountain.

This is the powerful confidence that comes from having the nation's sacred artifacts as a backing.

Under the attack of countless talismans, the white-bearded old man screamed and instantly collapsed, transforming into a pangolin.

It turned out to be a demon that had become a spirit. Pangolins should have extremely strong defensive capabilities, with scales that are impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire, but they couldn't withstand the talismans that were thrown at them like seawater.

Not only were the outer scales broken, but the flesh inside was also cooked.

……

"wrong!"

Inside the private box, Judge Lu was startled, his expression turning unusually gloomy, and he even stopped paying attention to Zhou Sheng on the stage.

The Judge Temple that He deliberately hid in Yunguan Fort has been found!

In an instant, He became restless and immediately tried to use magic to escape to the temple and possess the statue to manifest His holiness.

He couldn't care less about the so-called Yin Opera Masters or Yu Zhensheng's disciples at this moment.

That temple was extremely special and of great importance to Him.

Unlike those who are deified after death, he was not a prominent person in life. After death, he was a lonely soul, his body left to rot in the wilderness, with no one to bury him.

Fortunately, a passing scholar took pity on him and helped bury his body.

Afterwards, His spirit appeared and followed, both to repay the debt of gratitude and to ask for some incense offerings so that His soul would not slowly dissipate.

The two got along very well. He taught the students to read and helped them make money, becoming a kind of "guardian deity".

Later, the scholar successfully passed the imperial examination and became an official. He then petitioned the emperor to officially recognize Him as a deity, allowing the construction of temples and the establishment of shrines for Him.

By a stroke of luck, He rose through the ranks and eventually became one of the Four Judges.

The scholar, however, had already been reincarnated.

Because of his corruption while serving as an official, the scholar should have been condemned to hell and reborn as an animal. It was He who showed him mercy and allowed him to be reborn as a human.

The statue that the scholar worshipped when He was a guardian deity was His natal statue, and He was inextricably linked to it.

If this statue is destroyed, He will be severely damaged, and may even perish.

To be on the safe side, He specially built a temple for the judge on a desolate cliff, then hid the statue inside, set up a protective array, and consecrated a pangolin as the temple keeper.

Many years later, a scholar stumbled upon the place by chance and saw that the statues were covered in dust and the ground was covered with cobwebs, so he took it upon himself to clean it up.

He appeared in a divine manifestation and discovered that the other person was actually the reincarnation of the old friend who had buried his bones and worshipped him as a guardian deity. So he met with him frequently and they became sworn brothers.

He even donated his heart and his wife's head.

Lu Pan was completely baffled. What exactly went wrong? How could His temple be found by someone so suddenly? However, He was not too panicked because His personal statue was closely connected to Him, and He could manifest His divine power in a very short time.

But at that moment, a furious voice boomed from the stage.

"Hey!!!"

"You judge of the underworld, how dare you block my way!"

"Do they really think that there's no one left in Buddhism?"

Zhou Sheng raised his eyes and glared angrily at the private room where Judge Lu was on the second floor, then loudly chanted, "Amitabha, please Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva appear and uphold justice!"

Its voice was like a booming bell, containing the wrath of a Vajra.

Tan Sheng, who had been waiting backstage for a long time, resolutely raised the Nine Dragon Seal in his hand upon hearing the sound, chanted an incantation, and his eyes had undergone an astonishing change when he looked up.

His deep eyes seemed to hold boundless wisdom and profound compassion for all living beings.

Ten thousand rays of Buddhist light burst forth from the seal, transforming into a strange beast with dragon horns and a lion-like shape, its body shrouded in a thick aura of smoke.

It lacks the ferocity of Yazi and the agility of Chiwen, but possesses a Zen-like tranquility.

Suanni, the fifth of the nine sons of the dragon, prefers stillness to movement, enjoys sitting, and is fond of smoke and fire, thus often appearing on Buddhist thrones and incense burners.

A mythical beast from Buddhism appeared and then entered Tan Sheng's body.

In an instant, Tan Sheng appeared adorned with a jeweled crown and necklace, standing on a thousand-petaled blue lotus, holding a jewel in his left hand and a staff in his right, with ten Buddha rings emanating from the back of his head, emitting immeasurable light.

Calm and still as the earth, deep and secret as a hidden treasure.

As the chanting of Buddhist scriptures filled the air and the light of Buddha shone through, the originally gloomy and terrifying underworld seemed to have transformed into a Buddhist kingdom. Even Zhou Sheng, who was well-prepared, could hardly detect any flaws.

The Suanni possesses supernatural powers and can transform into a Buddha.

Because it is carved on the Buddha's seat and incense burner for many years, and has been exposed to the incense offerings of the Buddhist temple, it can manifest as various Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, etc.

Of course, this is merely an empty shell; although it can increase magical power and supernatural abilities, it is far from reaching the realm of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

Unless a cultivator possesses extraordinary magical power, it is possible to manifest even a fraction of the true power of the myriad Buddhas.

"Amitabha!"

The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha slammed his staff on the ground, all six rings fell silent, and the Buddha's name echoed throughout the entire city of Fengdu for a long time.

Lu Pan suddenly opened his eyes, and those piercing, righteous eyes finally revealed a cruel and fierce nature.

His manifestation was interrupted; the actor impersonating Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had come prepared!

This is a trap that He had meticulously prepared!
“Mulian, although your actions were motivated by filial piety, they have ultimately disrupted the order of the underworld. Therefore, this city is sealed off, and no one is allowed to leave for the time being.”

After saying this, "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" raised the wish-fulfilling jewel in his left hand.

"From this moment on..."

"The River of Oblivion hangs upside down as a water clock, and the Bridge of Helplessness is broken as a boundary marker."

"I use a secret mudra not recorded in the *Dandakaya Sutra*—"

"Seal off this city."

As the Buddhist chanting ended, the entire city of Fengdu resounded with a thunderous roar. The vast Buddhist power spread outwards like a protective barrier, cutting off the entry and exit of all demons and monsters.

Even divine intervention is not an option for now.

Their words became law, fully demonstrating the divine power of the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism.

Of course, all of this was actually aided by another force in secret.

In a mansion within Fengdu City, Yin Changsheng and Wang Fangping, the two true rulers of Fengdu City, voluntarily removed the city's protective formation and temporarily relinquished their power.

"I never expected that those younger generation would actually put on such a grand show."

"Talented people emerge in every generation!"
