Chapter 74: Fighting

Bai Yingqiong came to the sky above the ruins of Zhenwu Temple and saw Sikong Cuo at a glance.

Sikong Cuo naturally saw Bai Yingqiong as well.

It would take some time for "Xuanyu" and "Gift" to merge, so he had to stay here and could not leave.

Bai Yingqiong did not waste words, and directly waved his sleeves to disperse the pouring rain, and then a huge lotus flower appeared. A slightly illusory Bai Yingqiong stepped on the white lotus and slowly rose into the air.

Sikong Cuo's face became a little solemn, and he also made similar movements. A slightly illusory figure flew out, but it was not in human form, but turned into an evil beast, the size of a green cow, a bit like a dog, with huge ears, hanging green snakes, and dark yellow hair on the body, each hair exuding a cold luster.

Its eyes showed a pattern of eyes composed of black moon and white sun, and its face was still a human face, which was exactly the appearance of Sikong Cuo.

This was the appearance of Shebi Shi.

It was also one of the symbols of Zhiming Sect.

Sikong Cuo did not underestimate Bai Yingqiong.

Bai Yingqiong is the eldest disciple of Cihang Zhenren and the chief deputy lord of Jiangnan Daofu. In name, she is of the same generation as Zhang Yuelu, but in terms of age, she is the same generation as Lei Xiaohuan.

She has been in Jiangnan Daofu for many years, and it is inevitable that she has become worldly and smooth, even a little weak. But in terms of realm cultivation, she is not weak at all. If she is only at the stage of Tianren Xiaoyao, how can she have the intention of competing with a banished immortal junior sister who is much younger than herself and is about to be promoted to Tianren?

So Bai Yingqiong is a Tianren at the stage of Wuliang, which is similar to Lei Xiaohuan.

However, unlike Lei Xiaohuan, Bai Yingqiong is an alchemist.

"Cihang Pudu Sword Canon" is a great method that encompasses everything. There are four volumes, namely "Sword Volume", "Heart Volume", "No Word Volume", and "I Volume". Among them, "I Volume" is the most profound, "No Word Volume" is second, "Heart Volume" is third, and "Sword Volume" is the worst. These four volumes are progressive, just like laying a solid foundation before building a tall building, so "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon" is the method of the orthodox Xuanmen, not the method of the side door.

No matter what kind of inheritance, it can be practiced, and each has its own gains, but the emphasis is different. For example, the Qi Refiner focuses on the thousand swords of transforming Qi into swords, the warrior focuses on achieving the pure true body, the witch focuses on condensing the Guanyin Dharma, and the exiled immortal is inclusive and takes them all.

As for the alchemists, there are various spells, and the most powerful one is called "Buddha Light of Delivering the World". As long as the Buddha light shines, the opponent will kneel on the spot and repent, which is what Buddhism calls becoming a Buddha on the spot. This kind of repentance can take up to several decades. The fundamental principle is to completely suppress and restrain the opponent's ego with the Buddha light, and then create an opposing "heart demon", that is, completely become another person, like stealing a beam and replacing a pillar.

Of course, Bai Yingqiong has never cultivated the "Buddha Light of Saving the World", but he has also obtained the Buddha Light supernatural power. After all, the Cihang lineage was originally from Buddhism, and later surrendered to Taoism, claiming to practice both Buddhism and Taoism. Its swordsmanship is inclined to Taoism, while its magic is mostly related to Buddhism. On this point, it is difficult to say about the previous Taoism. The Taoism after the revival can be said to be inclusive and has no sectarianism. For example, the inheritance of witchcraft has absorbed the essence of ancient witchcraft, and the Qigong practitioners have also absorbed the strengths of the Confucian school's cultivation of the noble spirit.

After Bai Yingqiong's Yin spirit left his body, he stepped on the white lotus and flew into the air. With a wave of his sleeves, the clouds in the sky drooped, the heavy rain stopped briefly, and a huge golden light shot through the gap in the clouds and fell between heaven and earth, with a Buddha light.

This Buddha light fell on Sikong Cuo's body and fixed him. In the golden light, a red lotus-shaped enchanting flame was born, blooming one by one, dazzling people. This is the "Red Lotus Karma Fire".

This is a top-notch spell comparable to the "Samadhi True Fire", which can burn all killing, resentment, anger and resentment, and use sin as firewood.

People like Sikong Cuo have killed countless people. Compared with Qi Xuansu, it is undoubtedly a grain of rice competing with the bright moon, which is not worth mentioning. Naturally, his sins are also incredibly huge. The "Red Lotus Karma Fire", which has little effect on ordinary people, is particularly useful to deal with Sikong Cuo.

The so-called "sin" is a Buddhist term. According to the Taoist term, it should be called resentment, murderous spirit, and resentment. These three are the food of the three corpses in the body. If the killing nature is too heavy and there is no way to resolve it, it will inevitably cause the three corpses to grow too strong. Even before the death of the people, the three corpses will become the host, devour the three souls, and occupy the magpie's nest. This is the fire of demons. M..

Many people who are possessed by demons are violent and unpredictable, and they are murderous by nature. They act like evil spirits. To outsiders, their temperament has changed drastically, but in essence, they have been taken over by evil spirits. The difference is that these people all have good cultivation. They are not possessed by external evil spirits, but by "internal ghosts" because the three corpses have grown stronger. It is difficult to guard against thieves in the house.

"Red Lotus Karma Fire" is to ignite the three corpses. If you can survive it, you will naturally have less burden, which is equivalent to killing the three corpses, and your cultivation will be greatly improved, and your realm will be greatly increased, just like after the earthly immortals survive the heavenly tribulation, they can use the heavenly tribulation to build a diamond indestructible body.

But it is not easy to survive it. Throughout the ages, few earthly immortals dared to try to survive the tribulation. Most of them ascended to heaven immediately after the hundred-year period expired. Except for Xuansheng, the great masters of the Taoist sects are no exception. Therefore, if you want to survive this "Red Lotus Karma Fire", there is little hope. After all, the three corpses are one with yourself, and igniting the three corpses is equivalent to burning yourself.

Heavenly fire burns things, Yin fire burns air, and karma fire burns souls. After a volley of karma fire, I am afraid that only a body will be left.

Strictly speaking, karma fire and the like should be classified as Shinto methods, but since ancient times, ghosts and gods have been collectively referred to as ghosts and gods, which shows that it is difficult to distinguish one from the other, just like the two immortals of heaven and earth are inseparable, and many magical powers are shared.

Bai Yingqiong's methods are ruthless and show the profound foundation of Taoism.

Sikong Cuo is also an alchemist in the infinite stage. The realm of alchemists in this stage is called "Creation Realm", which means the master of creation. Although there is still a distance from the world of one thought, it can already create a temporary small world out of thin air. Taoism calls it "drawing the ground as a prison", which is similar to the "sleeve of the universe" of the Qi Refiner and the "Taixu Illusion Realm" of the exiled immortals, but not exactly the same. The latter two can only be cultivated in the creation stage. Previously, Sikong Cuo imprisoned Pei Xiaolou by using such means.

In addition, since it is "creation", it is not only "drawing the ground as a prison", but also means such as "casting beans to make soldiers" and "turning stones into gold". It is indeed creating things out of thin air. In the eyes of the common people, it is undoubtedly the magical power of the immortals.

The two were at the same level, and both were alchemists, so Sikong Cuo was not defeated by one move. He was seen with hair all over his body, spewing out large groups of foul air. These foul air were dark yellow in color, condensed and not dispersed, allowing the "Red Lotus Karma Fire" to fall on the foul air, hissing, and for a moment it seemed as if countless red lotuses bloomed, and the lotus flowers were infinitely red, but they could not hurt Sikong Cuo who was hiding under the foul air.

Sikong Cuo took this opportunity to escape from the range of the Buddha's light and bit Bai Yingqiong.

At this time, both of them were out of their bodies, without the suppression of their physical body and blood, it was easier to use magic, saving the tedious steps of stepping on the Gang step, drawing talismans and chanting spells, and almost as soon as the mind moved, the magic power followed. But the disadvantage is that after losing the protection of the physical body, it is particularly fragile. If you are not careful, your soul will be destroyed. If you let this bite solidly, Bai Yingqiong's soul will be damaged immediately.

Bai Yingqiong saw an illusory long sword in her hand. It was not a real object, but a pure condensation of mana. Then she actually held the long sword and faced Sikong Cuo. Her sword moves were exactly the same as Zhang Yuelu's. After all, the different emphasis of each inheritance does not mean that Bai Yingqiong does not know it. She also studied sword moves hard when she was young, and now it can be regarded as an alternative application of sword tactics.

In a blink of an eye, the two have fought for more than ten moves. It must be said that the "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon" is exquisite. Bai Yingqiong was not injured, but left two sword wounds on Sikong Cuo. There was no blood, only a few fireflies dissipated with the wind.

Sikong Cuo roared to the sky, and nine Sikong Cuo split into human faces and beasts. They also had human faces and beast bodies, holding bright blades condensed by mana in their mouths, with long tail marks, and rushed towards Bai Yingqiong from all directions.

Bai Yingqiong simply transformed into thousands of arms, each holding a long sword, like a peacock spreading its tail, and then the whole person spun rapidly like a gyroscope, leaving no flaws.

Sikongcuo's clones continued to turn into nothingness under the sharp sword, but Bai Yingqiong was also polluted by the foul air carried by Sikongcuo, and the light around her became dim.

After Bai Yingqiong killed a Sikongcuo, the white lotus under her feet flickered, carrying her away, dispersing the arms and long swords transformed by magic power, and summoning a Buddha light, which fell from the sky, nearly a hundred feet thick.

Close-range sword fighting is not her forte. She has been pampered for many years and has rarely fought with others in close combat. It is inevitable that she is a little unfamiliar with it, and long-range magic is better.

The Buddha light enveloped Sikongcuo again, and then quickly shrank, from a hundred feet thick to less than ten feet in the blink of an eye. From a distance, it was like a giant pillar turning into a line.

Sikongcuo was bound in it.

Bai Yingqiong was about to use the "Red Lotus Karma Fire" again to completely ignite Sikong Cuo's three corpses. As the saying goes, the trick is not new, but it works. She wanted to see how much foul air Sikong Cuo could resist. After all, the "Red Lotus Karma Fire" only ignites karma, which is equivalent to a fire starter. Sikong Cuo's three corpses are the gunpowder depot, so it does not consume much for Bai Yingqiong, but Sikong Cuo's foul air is a real consumption of mana, which is difficult to use continuously.

At this moment, there was another thunder, as if a sharp sword cut through the sky and illuminated the world.

At some point, the cumulus clouds in the sky were stained with a layer of purple-red, and thunder and fire surged in them.

After a temporary pause, the heavy rain that fell again became like smoke and fog, but unlike the usual white rain and fog, it was pitch black. After landing, it rose and spread.

Just as Sikong Cuo sang, when the Lord came to the world, thunder resounded in the sky and black fog descended on the earth.

Sikong Cuo did not resist the "Red Lotus Karma Fire" at all, and laughed: "The master has come to the world, Master Bai, even if you defeat me, it will be useless."

Bai Yingqiong's face turned extremely pale.

At this time, Zhenwu Lake had turned into a huge ice crystal. Through the ice layer, you can clearly see that the fish in the water still maintain the posture of the last moment.

It is better to say that they are frozen than to say that their time is stagnant. There is no trace of the damage caused by the ice to life.

These frozen fish form a pattern.

If you look down from the sky, the entire Xuanwu Lake is like a huge eye, with lines intertwined, depicting the interplay of white sun and black moon.
