Chapter 313: Meeting the Buddhist Girl in the Western Desert Again
"Exactly."
After getting Liu Shan's confirmation, the ignorant monks couldn't help but show surprise.
Because they actually saw it, those peerless saints who looked down upon the world all changed their expressions, and one could clearly feel their horror.
"God's thoughts, God's thoughts!" the big bald man kept whispering.
All the saints had frowned, they knew very well how terrifying the gods' thoughts were. The legendary monster was transformed from the ancient gods. Is there anyone in the world who can suppress it?
Liu Shan glanced around and looked at the big bald man in front of him again. He came here deliberately to show off, not to see everyone being scared.
"Old monk, the Buddhist sect in the Western Desert should have Buddhist teachings to subdue the thoughts of gods." Liu Shan's tone was flat, without the slightest respect. He had dealt with monks from the Western Desert twice and had unpleasant experiences both times.
It seemed that the god heard Liu Shan’s words, or he simply wanted to kill someone, because the figure in the lake emitted a black light.
It was like a huge black sun, gradually emitting terrifying power, and finally evolved into a black hole, swallowing everyone.
"retreat!"
Liu Shan's body was as fast as lightning. He directly pulled the two women behind him to dodge. The saints also used various means to avoid the attack.
The rest of the monks could only scream in shock, their bodies involuntarily flying towards the black hole. Some even exploded midway and turned into bloody mud.
"He swallowed those people!" Qi Huoshui's voice trembled. She just saw the figure, who seemed to be chewing with a ferocious mouth.
The god's attack again chilled everyone's heart, and everyone turned their eyes to the old monk in Ximo.
After all, Liu Shan had just said that Ximo possessed Buddhist teachings that could subdue the thoughts of the gods.
The old monk from Ximo also changed his expression. He did not expect that Liu Shan actually knew that Ximo had once subdued a god.
"Divine monk, please act quickly!" An emperor wearing imperial robes also began to urge.
“I ask all my fellow practitioners to lend a helping hand.” After saying this, the bald man sat cross-legged in the void, with a Buddha light emanating from behind him, just like a Buddha statue in an ancient temple coming to the world.
An ancient Buddhist scripture began to resound from the void, and the sound became louder and louder.
Afterwards, under the leadership of the great saints, all the monks did not dare to delay and began to chant together.
As each monk chanted, a ray of Buddha's light emanated from his body, and then gathered together to suppress the figure in the lake.
Liu Shan himself did not recite Buddhist scriptures, and he also stopped Princess Yudie and Qi Huoshui.
He had a very bad impression of the Buddhist practitioners in the Western Desert, and that their Buddhist teachings often contained ulterior motives, which might secretly contain methods of salvation, making it difficult to guard against.
At this time, a Buddhist sound was also heard from the other side of the crowd. Although the sound was not loud, it was no weaker than the sound from the bald man.
Liu Shan looked over when he heard the voice and saw a woman in white with a golden lotus on her forehead, sitting cross-legged with a faint smile on a lotus platform that was gleaming with divine light.
She held a Bodhi branch in her hand, her expression peaceful, her little mouth moving slightly, and as it opened and closed, a strange Buddhist sound emanated, and her whole body had an ethereal aura, as if it did not belong to this mortal world.
She has a slender figure and cloud-like black hair, and her skin as white as mutton fat jade sets off her with a fresh and unworldly beauty.
"She is..." Liu Shan stared at the figure, with a strange look in his eyes.
"She is Jue Youqing, the contemporary successor of Ximo, and is recognized as a Buddhist practitioner who can attain bodhisattva status." Qi Huoshui explained with a pout, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.
"Another descendant of Ximo!" Liu Shan sneered.
Before, Xia Yilin was the contemporary Buddhist nun of the Western Desert. Then, the group of old nuns from the Western Desert came to interfere and cause trouble without knowing what was good for them, which made Liu Shan's impression of them extremely bad.
Now that he meets Jue Youqing again, Liu Shan has an idea in his mind and decides to take revenge on Ximo!
When there is an opportunity in the future, he must pull Jue Youqing into the world of mortals. After all, Liu Shan knows that the path of Buddhist cultivation in the Western Desert is not feasible, and in the future, Amitabha will destroy the entire Western Desert.
The Buddhist sound throughout the world became more and more ethereal, as if it came from outside the sky. The figure on the boat was resisting with all his might.
As for Liu Shan, his expression became uglier the more he listened. The Buddhist scriptures in the Western Desert really had extraordinary magical effects and could make people addicted unconsciously.
Now the monks around all showed expressions of enjoyment and were wholeheartedly accepting the baptism of Buddhism.
The Buddhist sound became louder and louder, and the Buddhist light became brighter and brighter, causing more and more monks to join in and chant the ancient scriptures together. The whole world seemed to have turned into a Buddhist domain, and there seemed to be an inexplicable force surging in the void.
"Roar"
The figure on the small boat could no longer bear it, and let out a roar, then disappeared from the spot.
The intense Buddha light and the inexplicable Zen chanting exerted great restraint on him, and he could no longer bear it. This was enough to show the terrifying power of the divine thoughts. Under the leadership of more than a dozen peerless saints, the thousands of cultivators present could only drive away the divine thoughts and let it escape calmly.
Princess Yudie and Qi Huoshui, under the protection of Liu Shan, remained awake. They were horrified to find that more and more monks had joined in the chanting, and there was no sign of them stopping.
The monks chanting Buddhist scriptures can no longer feel the changes in the outside world. They enjoy the baptism brought by Buddhism, and their own potential is constantly flowing out, turning into a Buddha's light that cleanses this world.
Now the lake is shrouded in Buddha's light, and it is bright and dazzling. The previous darkness and terror have completely disappeared, leaving only peace, tranquility and a hint of weirdness.
Liu Shan watched all this with a frown, and was shocked. The Buddhism in the Western Desert was indeed strange. It had used so many monks without them realizing it.
Although it is temporary, these powerful monks will definitely recover later.
However, this method was silent and unknowingly converted countless monks who were greedy for money and treasures here, causing them to fall into a strange state and unable to extricate themselves. It was extremely terrifying.
Princess Yudie and Qi Huoshui both had tense faces and looked at everything around them with fear. They couldn't help but move closer to Liu Shan, wanting to get a sense of security from him.
Their cultivation level and status prevented them from being exposed to all of this. If it weren't for Liu Shan, they would have become addicted like the cultivators around them.
The two pairs of small hands had unconsciously been put into Liu Shan's hands again, holding them tightly, not daring to relax even a little.
"brush"
The saints and emperors of the strongest side were not completely immersed in the Buddhist scriptures. When they saw that the divine thoughts had disappeared, they quickly jumped up and rushed to the white jade ladder high in the sky.
Liu Shan also kept a close eye on them. This group of old monsters were very smart. They used other monks to chant Buddhist scriptures to drive away the gods' thoughts and temporarily delay their steps.
He felt helpless as this towering place was restricted and only powerful men could fly there. Even though Liu Shan was quite powerful, he could only walk.
So looking at the saints leaping into the air, Liu Shan could only walk on the waves and go to the center of the lake.
"Watch me!" Princess Yudie stopped Liu Shan who wanted to enter the lake.
I saw a golden rainbow bridge flying out from between her eyebrows in an instant, and it immediately grew larger, shining with divine brilliance, and directly spanned the center of the ladder to heaven and the lakeshore.
"What a wonderful treasure, let's go." Liu Shan praised with great joy. She was indeed worthy of being the princess of Anping State, to have such a rare treasure.
The three of them jumped onto the golden bridge, ran all the way, and then jumped onto the ladder to heaven. They followed the white jade steps all the way up, straight into the sky, and came to an unknown place.
It is simply indescribable here. It is like a legendary fairyland, or like the first world spread by Hongmeng.
Not only were there powerful medicines everywhere, but the spiritual energy was like a thick fog, floating in the air. In some places, the spiritual energy had even liquefied and was gradually solidifying into pieces of pure source stone.
“Is this the fairyland?”
"No, it should be just an ancient area that the emperor has reserved."
"Be careful, this may be the real burial ground of immortals. The deity's spirit should be hidden here." Liu Shan reminded carefully.
Princess Yudie and Qi Huoshui were both excited and their faces turned red.
Everything I see now are spiritual medicines that are hard to find in the outside world. Spiritual energy fills my body with every breath I take in, which is countless times more than what I take in when I practice in the outside world.
“No wonder the Taigu Clan has so many strong people. It’s because their environment is too good and they have sufficient innate abilities. With just a little practice, they can enter a state of rapid development.”
Princess Yudie sighed, saying that it was not that the descendants lacked talent, but that the gap with the outside world was too big.
"Let's go quickly." Liu Shan didn't want to stay here for too long. The previous saints and emperors had disappeared long ago.
Upon hearing this, Qi Huoshui and Princess Yudie happily withdrew their gazes. Although the spiritual medicines around were rare, they could also be found in the outside world. The treasures deep inside were the most important.
"Roar"
There was a loud roar, and the mountains and rivers shook. The three of them rushed over after hearing the sound, only to see a sound several miles ahead.
There was a giant beast, a hundred feet long, rising across the sky and roaring towards the sky. Its scales were glittering all over its body, its head and horns were prominent, and it looked domineering and majestic.
"Hiss, that's the legendary dragon!" Princess Yudie exclaimed softly, her eyes wide open, and she even forgot to close her pink mouth.
Qi Huoshui's face was also filled with excitement. She was a disciple of the Nanling Demon King Palace. The Demon King Palace was the Taoist lineage of the Demon King Xue Yueqing, and the dragon was the highest totem.
