The Wu God Worships the Soul

Chapter 478: The Soul of the Wu God

Small Leiyin Temple.

Qin Mu looked around and saw that most of the landscape layout here was similar to that of the Great Leiyin Temple. After all, the Small Leiyin Temple had only been developed for a few hundred years and did not have the foundation of the Great Leiyin Temple, so it could only copy it.

However, the number of demon monks here is not inferior to that of the Great Leiyin Temple. The Small Leiyin Temple can be said to be the only holy place in the Great Ruins, with no competitors. There are a large number of exotic beasts in the Great Ruins, so the Small Leiyin Temple is unusually prosperous.

There were many demon monks coming and going, all of them well-dressed and polite. Qin Mu also saw a dragon coiled in the temple, preaching to many demon beasts that had not yet transformed. In some temples, there were some great monks from the demon tribe, preaching to many demon monks, teaching them magical powers, and teaching them the methods of refining treasures.

"This place looks like a demon civilization."

Qin Mu was full of admiration. Regardless of Little Tathagata's style, the fact that he was able to develop Little Leiyin Temple from scratch to this level by his own efforts was already worthy of admiration.

The young Tathagata and the old Tathagata are brothers, they are about the same age. The old Tathagata has reached the end of his life and died in battle in the Shenduan Mountains, but the young Tathagata is a great demon who has achieved enlightenment and has a long lifespan.

With him around, Xiao Leiyin Temple becomes more prosperous.

Suddenly, two big monsters leaped up like flying and started fighting. Sometimes they jumped into the clouds, and sometimes they rushed into the valley bottom. Their attacks were extremely fast and their moves were fierce and powerful.

"These two senior brothers are quite capable." Xu Shenghua looked up and said in surprise.

Qin Mu was overjoyed and shouted, "Big guy!"

One of the big demons was a strong demon monk, with muscles all over his body, except for some black hair on his face and hands. He was holding a Zen staff and fighting with his opponent. Upon hearing the words, he immediately knocked his opponent away with one stick, jumped over, landed with a bang, and said in surprise: "Little guy! Baldy, where are you?"

His last question was to Little Tathagata, who could not help but get angry and slapped him on the head, shouting, "How can you call Master a bald donkey? I am not a donkey who has attained enlightenment!"

The demon ape Zhan Kong quickly covered his head and said hesitantly, "Xiao, where?"

Little Tathagata didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "I met him at the foot of the mountain, so I invited him to be my guest."

The demon ape grinned and was about to hug Qin Mu, but found that Qin Mu was too short. Qin Mu had grown a lot taller and was now as tall as the butcher, only slightly shorter than the pharmacist. However, the demon ape itself was extremely strong. When he was still young, his height was already taller than that of the mountains and forests.

Now that he has grown up, if he reveals his true form, I'm afraid he will not be much inferior to the Dragon Qilin.

Now he has transformed into a human body, and his height is nearly two meters.

Suddenly, the big demon he was fighting with rushed over and wanted to continue fighting with him, shouting: "Brother Zhankong, come and fight again!"

The demon ape was furious. He reached out his hand and grabbed the evil monk's neck. The evil monk immediately lost his temper, his limbs drooped down, and the tail behind his butt also drooped down, shaking as if to please.

The demon ape put him down and brought him to Qin Mu, shouting, "Meat, guest!"

Qin Mu looked at the bald-headed demon monk, who was prostrating himself on the ground, trembling. He quickly shook his head and said, "Since he is your junior brother, I cannot eat even if you treat me."

The demon ape scratched his head and looked at the little Tathagata beside him. The fat on the little Tathagata's face was jumping. He suppressed his anger and said, "Disciple, your good friend is here. Do you want to treat the master too?"

The demon ape quickly shook his head.

Qin Mu smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. You don't have to think about treating me to meat. When in Rome, follow the local customs and eat vegetarian food. Even Tathagata, no matter how powerful he is, can't eat it."

The demon ape was very happy: "Su, Zhuang!"

Jing Yan asked curiously, "Is Senior Brother Zhan Kong always so concise when he speaks?"

Little Tathagata said: "Zhan Kong has a great Buddha nature, he cherishes words like gold, and every word he writes has a deep meaning. I also saw this in him, so I accepted him as my disciple."

Jingyan was puzzled. She could see that he was frugal with words, but she didn't notice that he had a great Buddhist nature.

Where is the Buddha nature that would allow one to grab a junior fellow disciple and treat him as meat as a treat as soon as they meet?

The demon ape followed them up the mountain. When they reached the top, Qin Mu looked around and saw that this place was similar to the golden roof of the Great Leiyin Temple, except that there were many more stone statues, which were probably placed here to ward off the darkness.

There are pagodas on the top of the mountain, and each pagoda has monks practicing here. Most of them are monks with bird heads or animal heads. They wear yellow robes and have solemn expressions.

These monks should be great demons who have attained enlightenment in Daxu. They practiced here and should have extraordinary status.

The corners of Qin Mu's eyes twitched. The cultivation of these big monsters was extremely powerful, and the demonic aura on their bodies was extremely strong. The demonic aura of some monks was so strong that he couldn't help but feel scared. He was afraid that they were powerful leaders!

What's worse, there was a bloody aura in the evil spirit, and it was obvious that it had committed a lot of murders in the past!

"I can't bear it anymore! I eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name every day. I eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name. I eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name. When will it end?"

Suddenly, a yellow-robed monk with a bird's head and a human body jumped up. The monk tore the yellow robe into pieces and shook his neck. Suddenly, countless golden feathers grew wildly from his neck. His body expanded wildly, and bird heads emerged from the feathers. There were nine bird heads in total. When their wings were spread, the span was dozens of acres!

"I have dominated the Great Ruins, eaten countless people and animals, and have been plagued by sins for a long time. Why should I eat vegetarian food or chant Buddhist scriptures?"

The nine-headed bird, shaped like a peacock, flapped its wings and rose up, saying sternly, "This injustice cannot be washed away, I'm going to eat it to my heart's content!"

The other monks flew into the air one after another. Qin Mu also saw that some of the monks were actually human beings. They worked together to suppress the nine-headed peacock and said, "Brother Ming, you are controlled by the inner demon again. Wake up quickly!"

"Don't let a thousand years of cultivation be ruined in a single thought!"

The monks worked together and finally subdued the nine-headed peacock, but the big peacock was still unruly and wanted to kill people.

Little Tathagata stepped forward, ripped open his monk's robe, took out a knife, cut his heart, cut off a piece of meat and threw it to the nine-headed peacock, shouting: "You want to eat meat, come and eat!"

The nine-headed peacock was full of fierceness. It opened its mouth and took up the little Tathagata's meat, then raised its head to eat it. The other eight heads shouted, "Tathagata, you want to satisfy my appetite, how can one piece of meat be enough? My other eight mouths have not eaten yet, and they are still hungry!"

Little Tathagata cut eight pieces of meat from his body and threw them over. The other eight heads of the nine-headed peacock each caught a piece and swallowed them up.

The demon ape showed a look of delight and whispered, "Little, meat, guest."

Little Tathagata glared at him and the demon ape scratched his head.

Although the nine peacocks ate nine pieces of meat, they could not digest it and kept coughing. After a while, they opened their mouths and spit out a little peacock, and then another little peacock.

The nine-headed peacock vomited nine times and spit out nine peacocks from its stomach. The nine little peacocks were running all over the ground, stumbling and falling. Suddenly, the nine little peacocks merged into a nine-headed peacock, sitting on the ground with its buttocks feathers spread out like a big colorful fan.

When the nine-headed peacock saw the little peacock on the ground, he was shocked and his evil nature immediately dissipated. He transformed into a monk with a bird's head and a human body. He sat cross-legged with a Buddha's light on his face and smiled, "Now I know that all living beings are like me. Thank you, Brother Tathagata."

"Good."

Little Tathagata pulled up his monk robe and said, "Brother Ming, sitting on the mountain without doing anything is not good for cultivation. You should take your son down the mountain and cultivate in the secular world."

The nine peacocks stood up and went down the mountain with the little peacock.

Qin Mu watched the father and son go down the mountain, shook his head, and looked puzzled.

Why did the little Tathagata cut the meat and the nine-headed peacock eat the meat, but he vomited out a small nine-headed peacock? Why is this small nine-headed peacock the son of the nine-headed peacock?

Is it the art of creation?

Or is there some other magical power?

Xu Shenghua and Jing Yan were also confused. Xu Shenghua whispered, "The skills of the Small Leiyin Temple are different from those of the Big Leiyin Temple. They probably absorbed some of the wonderful skills from the Great Ruins."

Qin Mu nodded. There were no such strange spells in the Great Leiyin Temple, and most of the monks in the Small Leiyin Temple were spirits of strange beasts in the Great Ruins, and they were born with extraordinary abilities.

Some powerful beasts also had adventures in Daxu and practiced some of the miraculous skills of Daxu. They worshipped in Xiao Leiyin Temple and brought these miraculous skills with them, which made the skills of Xiao Leiyin Temple more diverse and strange than those of Da Leiyin Temple.

"Please take a seat, all three of you, and watch us convert the demon gods and achieve enlightenment."

On the golden roof, Little Tathagata invited the three to sit down. The yellow-robed monks around him sat down one after another. Little Tathagata took out a golden bowl and shook it gently. The golden bowl became bigger and bigger. In the bowl was an altar. On the altar, the soul of a demon god was trapped there, roaring and struggling, making the chains of Buddha's light clank.

The demon on the altar was blood-red, as if he was in a vast ocean of blood, with countless wronged souls entangled around him.

All around, monks in yellow robes were chanting Buddhist scriptures loudly, the sound of the Buddha was resounding, and it was obvious that they were preparing to convert this demon god.

"You beasts who eat raw meat and drink blood, you think you can refine me?"

The demon god's original spirit was the Wushen Kui, who was unharmed by the Buddha's sound and kept trying to break free from the Buddha's light chains. He said with a smile: "Wait until I kill you and turn you all into blood food!"

Qin Mu's face changed slightly, and he quickly stood up and said loudly: "Tathagata, this demon god is from the ghost clan, his soul is extremely powerful, and he is the most powerful evil god. You can't convert him! He is using you to refine the soul worm in his body and get rid of the seal of the Golden Palace Master!"

The monks were at a loss and looked at the little Tathagata and stopped chanting.

On the altar, the witch god Wei suddenly turned his head and looked at Qin Mu with a ferocious face: "So it's Master Qin. My useless disciple wanted to worship you to death several times, but he couldn't. You come to ruin my good deeds again, you really overestimate your own abilities!"

Little Tathagata and a group of monks' faces changed drastically and they stood up in a hurry, only to see the original spirit of the Wu God in the altar open its mouth and spit out soul worms. Those soul worms squeaked strangely, and when they encountered the Buddha's light, they disappeared and turned into wisps of green smoke.

As soon as these soul worms were eliminated, the witch god Wei suddenly became extremely ferocious and his terrifying majesty was everywhere. In an instant, the grass and trees on the mountaintops withered and all things were dead. Many evil monks with lower cultivation levels on the mountains fell on their backs without even a sound and died!

Little Tathagata quickly put away the golden bowl, turned the altar upside down, and trapped the witch god Wei.

Little Tathagata said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Po Ying, suppress this demon under the Tianfeng Pagoda!"

A yellow-robed monk stepped forward and was about to take the golden bowl, when suddenly the laughter of the Wushen Kui came from the bowl: "Your name is Po Ying? Bow to me!"

The yellow-robed monk fell backwards, his soul shattered!

For a moment, no one dared to step forward.

"Hehehe, I sensed that my Book of Life and Death is nearby. You must have obtained my Book of Life and Death and hid it, right? God is really helping me!"

The Wushen Wei in the golden bowl laughed loudly, and suddenly a pagoda shook and shattered. A scroll of scriptures flew out from the collapsed pagoda and fell towards the golden bowl!
