Ask for the Sword, Slay the Real Dragon
Chapter 256 Ask for the Dao Sword to Slay the True Dragon
Qin Mu's eyes widened in astonishment, feeling a bizarre and ridiculous feeling. The sword light just now avoided him and went straight to the center of Fo Xin's eyebrows, piercing through Fo Xin's head directly, leaving him no time to block it.
The sword light came suddenly, and its purpose was to kill him, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect. However, when he fought with Buddha's Heart, he used the Tathagata Mahayana Sutra, and the Buddha's light soared into the sky, while Buddha's Heart used the Dayu Heavenly Demon Sutra, and his demonic nature was deep.
The owner of the flying sword was still several miles away from here, and the moonlight was dim, so he could only see the light from the two people. Then he swung his sword and took Foxin's life.
As the prince's follower, he was naturally very skilled and practiced authentic swordsmanship. In addition, Fuxin was seriously injured by Qin Mu, so he was caught off guard and died in a confused manner.
Next to the boundary marker, Long Qilin was staring at the strange creature. The fight between the two beasts ended before they could even start.
When the Sibuxiang saw that Qin Mu did not kill Foxin, he was relieved. However, the sword light came too suddenly and he could not react in time, and Foxin was stabbed to death by the sword.
Several figures came flying from behind. Qin Mu retreated towards Long Qilin without thinking. When the four beasts saw Foxin being killed, they became confused and were suppressed by Long Qilin's momentum.
Qin Mu jumped onto Long Qilin's back, and Long Qilin immediately pulled away, turned around and stepped on the fire cloud to leave.
"This head is mine!"
One of the prince's followers shouted, "No one can take away my credit!"
He came to the boundary marker, pulled out the flying sword from between Foxin's eyebrows, and was about to cut off Foxin's head, but was slightly startled: "Why is there no hair?"
When the other prince's followers rushed over, they were all surprised to see that the "Buddha's son" had actually run away riding on the dragon unicorn, while the four-legged beast guarding the gate of the Great Leiyin Temple stood there motionless.
Qin Mu turned around and saw the Demon Lord smiling at the prince's followers under the moonlight, which made them feel as if they were falling into an icy cave.
"The Demon Cult Leader..."
The prince's followers were all cold and at a loss. The one who ran away riding on the dragon unicorn was the leader of the Demon Sect, so who could be the person who died under the boundary marker?
Several people twisted their necks with difficulty and saw the prince's attendant standing there at a loss under the boundary marker. The man stretched out his hand to block the sword hole between Buddha's eyebrows, trying to stop the wound, but found it was useless. He stood up and wanted to drag the corpse, but turned around and saw them.
The follower was at a loss. He turned around to look at the corpse of the Buddhist disciple under the boundary marker, then looked at them again, and then looked at the corpse again, and repeated this process again and again.
"what to do?"
He cried, "We came out together. Don't think of leaving me alone. If you report me, you will die! Killing a Buddhist disciple is a great sin. The prince will execute you as well!"
The prince's followers were at a loss as to what to do. One of them said in a hoarse voice, "Why not just go all out and destroy the corpse and put the blame on the Demon Cult Leader? The Demon Cult Leader has enough accusations on his head anyway, so he can take one more!"
Another person reminded: "But that four-legged beast saw it..."
Several people turned their heads and looked at the strange creature.
"If we kill this deer, no one will know about it!"
Several people suddenly jumped up, and countless flying swords in the sword box whizzed out, turning into a sword rain that came towards the Four-Beast. The Four-Beast shook its body, revealing its true form, which was dozens of times larger than before. It charged towards them under the sword rain, and the flying swords pierced the body of the Four-Beast, only piercing its skin but not its internal organs.
There was a loud bang, and the huge deer antlers pierced the two men and crashed them into the boundary marker, leaving two blood spots on the marker.
The other two hurriedly flew away. This four-legged beast was a strange species among the strange beasts. It had a face like a horse, hooves like a cow, a tail like a donkey, and a head like a deer. It had been listening to lectures in the Great Leiyin Temple for one or two hundred years, and had already cultivated great supernatural powers and became extremely powerful.
The Siberian Monster shook its head, and its antlers flew out, piercing one of them through the chest and nailing him to the ground. The other one was caught up by the Siberian Monster, who raised his hooves and stepped on him, crushing him to pieces.
The four-legged creature shook its head again, and its antlers flew back and landed on its head again. It looked back at the corpse of the Buddhist disciple under the boundary marker, then turned around and ran towards the Leiyin Temple.
His body was full of flying swords, but he only sustained superficial wounds and his speed did not slow down at all.
Not long after, the sky brightened and several elderly monks came to the boundary marker under the guidance of this strange creature. The old monks looked at the wound and their faces were solemn.
"The Buddha died just like this..."
An old monk in a yellow robe frowned and said, "The sword wound was indeed left by the prince's men. It's not the sword technique of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the weapons can also match. It's just that Tathagata is discussing with the prince about the future plan of the world. He wants to change the dynasty and correct the reforms of Emperor Yanfeng, and return to the original source. This is a great plan for all ages. If it is destroyed because of this..."
"It is indeed sad to see a Buddhist pass away, but it is just a stinking skin. Once it is discarded, you will feel relieved and no longer have to struggle in this great sea of suffering."
Another old monk said, "We cannot let the death of the Buddha ruin the eternal plan of the Great Leiyin Temple. The Tathagata does not need to know about this matter, but the Arhats in our Arhat Courtyard only need to know about it."
"But the Buddha is dead after all, and several of the prince's followers have also died. This matter cannot be concealed."
"I told Tathagata and the prince that it was the Demon Cult leader who did it. The Buddha was kind enough to escort the Demon Cult leader out of the temple, but the Demon Cult leader attacked the Buddha at the boundary marker and killed him. The prince's followers went to stop him, but they all met with his murderous hands."
The faces of several yellow-robed old monks changed drastically, and one of the arhats shouted, "Monks don't tell lies!"
The old monk raised his eyebrows and said with emotion: "You don't need to tell me, I will tell you. After that, I will return to secular life and leave the temple! This is related to the future of the Great Leiyin Temple. What can I do if I sacrifice my reputation?"
"Well done, well done! This is so righteous, brother." The monks put their palms together and bowed to him.
…
When the monks from the Luohan Court returned to the Great Leiyin Temple, the old Tathagata had already discussed everything with the Crown Prince Yankang, and he stood up to see them off, saying, "Your Highness should return to the capital immediately. If Your Majesty dies, the world will be left without a ruler. If Your Highness is not in the capital, I'm afraid that other princes will ascend to the throne."
Prince Yankang was awed and said, "What the Buddha said is absolutely true."
The long-browed monk from the Luohan Court stepped forward and said, "Buddha, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect has committed many evil deeds. The Buddha went to see him off, but he killed him. Several followers of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to rescue the Buddha, but they also lost their lives and their souls returned to paradise."
Prince Yankang was furious: "How dare this devil do this? I didn't pick on him, but he came to kill my people! My Buddha, this devil even kills Buddha's disciples. He is so bold and presumptuous. We must not let him go!"
Lao Ru came to look at the Arhats in the Arhat Temple. The Arhats looked at their noses and their hearts, and stopped talking.
"Your Highness, do not worry about this matter. Return to the capital as soon as possible. The matter of the Heavenly Demon Sect Leader will be handled by the Great Leiyin Temple."
The old Tathagata had a gentle expression on his face and asked the long-browed monk, "Changmei, how long have you been in Luohanyuan?"
"Replying to the Buddha, it has been two hundred and nine years."
The old Tathagata said with a pleasant face: "You go and deal with the matter of the Heavenly Demon Sect Leader, and I will allow you to return to secular life."
The long-browed monk was shocked and looked up at the old Tathagata, but the old Tathagata had already turned around and said to Prince Yankang: "Your Highness, please return to the capital and do not delay on the way."
Prince Yankang agreed and hurried down the mountain, thinking: "This Buddha is truly unfathomable."
The long-browed monk also packed up and went down the mountain, thinking to himself: "Old Tathagata saw that I was lying, so he expelled me from the Great Leiyin Temple without waiting for me to open my mouth. He is indeed a wise and enlightened man. I will never be able to reach this level in my lifetime, so I might as well take advantage of this useful body and do more for the Great Leiyin Temple!"
After he went down the mountain, he had not walked far when he suddenly heard a voice from the sky: "Long-browed monk, why don't you come and sit with me?"
The long-browed monk looked up and saw a magnificent ship suspended in the air, with the prince standing at the bow inviting him.
His heart moved slightly, and he immediately flew up into the air and landed on the boat, greeting him and saying, "Your Highness, I am no longer a monk. My surname is Su, and I have a single name..."
He thought for a moment and laughed, "I haven't used my lay name for more than two hundred years. It's been so long that I've forgotten it. Your Highness, please forgive me for making fun of you."
Prince Yankang said: "You are half monk and half layman now, so I will call you Su Changmei."
Su Changmei thanked him and said, "So that's the name. Your Highness, why did you keep me here?"
"The Demon Lord."
Prince Yankang said, "This demon cult monster is full of tricks. He even plotted against Sun Nanda and could not find any clues! Also, during the annual leave of the Imperial Academy, he returned to Daxu alone and ordered people to spread the news, attracting masters from all walks of life to chase him, but he is still alive. And I got the news that the masters who were chasing him, Lu Wenshu of the Qiongli Sect, Qingyu Sanren, Pushan Luohan, Kuye Taoist, and even Qingshan Taoist are all dead! The power of the Heavenly Demon Cult is not weaker than that of the Great Leiyin Temple! I am worried that if you go to chase him, he will only harm you."
Su Changmei's heart was shocked. People like Lu Wenshu and Qingyu Sanren were all well-known figures, especially Taoist Qingshan, who was a righteous strong man at the realm of life and death. Taoist Qingshan's ability was not weaker than his at all!
Even Taoist Qingshan is dead?
Prince Yankang said, "I am waiting for you here to remind you to think long-term. You are not killing anyone else, but the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the first holy land of the demon sect. Why don't you come back to the capital with me and take your time."
Su Changmei nodded and said, "Your Highness, the revenge of the Buddha's son must be avenged."
Prince Yankang smiled and said, "What I want to do is not just to take the head of the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, but to uproot the entire Heavenly Demon Sect and completely eradicate this demon sect. This coincides with your Great Leiyin Temple. Don't worry, although you are not an Arhat of the Great Leiyin Temple, after I ascend the throne, I will allow you to establish a sect, be the abbot, and become a Buddha!"
Kunlun Yuxu Mountain, the Taoist gate.
A Taoist boy ran up in panic and said, "Master, Tathagata is here to visit!"
The old Taoist master asked quickly: "How many people?"
"one person."
The old Taoist master breathed a sigh of relief: "That person is not here to fight. Please come in... Forget it, I will go to greet him myself!"
After a while, the old Tathagata and the old Taoist master took their seats and dismissed their attendants. The old Tathagata did not exchange pleasantries and said directly, "I have met the Crown Prince Yankang."
The old Taoist master was slightly shocked, and said meaningfully: "The prince is not as good as your majesty, and is not a wise ruler in governing the country."
The old Tathagata said, "Your Majesty is too good at governing the country, but this natural disaster happened. Brother Dao, you see that the people are living in misery due to this snowstorm. Do you expect a bigger disaster to come? Daoism should have records about the Emperor Ai Kongji, right?"
The old Taoist priest pondered for a moment and said, "You Buddhists call it Aihuang, Kongji, and Kongjie, but I call it Kaihuang, Kaihuangji, and Kaihuangjie. I have read the records about Kaihuangjie. The once prosperous kingdom of God was destroyed, and countless lives were destroyed. I am also worried about this matter."
He said slowly, "A small country with few people should not believe in saints and wisdom. This is the lesson my sect learned during the Kaihuang catastrophe. The country is small and the people are few. Don't believe in experience, wisdom, or saints. This way, you can live a good life. Everyone can live happily and without worries. Isn't it beautiful? It was good in the past. The country was small and the people were few. They obeyed the orders of the sect."
The old Tathagata said: "We must change the emperor. The death of one emperor is better than the death of countless people."
The Taoist master glanced at him and asked, "What benefit did the prince promise you?"
Old Tathagata shook his head and said, "I didn't ask him for any favors."
The Taoist master smiled and said, "I believe you." Then he stood up and said, "I haven't used my Taoist sword for a long time. I wonder if it has become dull. Can it still cut the True Dragon Emperor?"
The old Tathagata stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your help, Brother Dao!"
