Hu Xinyue flew into the sky and said, "Xu Xian, she planted thousands of knots of life and death in you. If you die, she will die too!"
Xu Xian was shocked and finally understood why Hu Xinyue helped him so much. He looked at Bai Suzhen beside him.
Bai Suzhen hurriedly said to Hu Xinyue who had almost disappeared in the sky, "Xiao Yue, why did you say it out!"
"He is not a child. You don't need to spoil him so much. If he can't even bear this little burden, don't go through Heaven's Retribution. Just stab yourself!" Hu Xinyue disappeared completely after saying this.
"Stupid snake, what's the point if your sacrifice is not understood by others?"
"My wife!"
Xu Xian suddenly understood the meaning of "a beauty's kindness". She had kept him waiting, but it was not that simple.
She did not say any dramatic words. She just silently pricked her fingertips and embroidered a needle and then bet her life on herself.
But she did not tell him. She was afraid that she would add a little burden to him!
Yun Yan, Xiaoqing, Ao Li, and Yin Hongxiu all looked at Bai Suzhen in a daze. They could not believe that she had made such a choice without saying a word.
Bai Suzhen felt a little embarrassed, "It is not as serious as Xiao Yue said. Sir, you can start quickly!"
Xu Xian looked at her deeply. He knew that time waited for no one. He ordered the big ship to sail far away from the lake to avoid being affected by the Thunder's Retribution.
He flew into the sky alone to welcome the noon sun.
Outside the array, there was a blurry scene of fog.
The array of the sea market was densely covered with a large amount of Water Spiritual Power. It rose in the surroundings and was endless.
The Water Spiritual Power came from the West Lake, Qiantang River, and even Lake Tai below. It maintained the powerful effect of the array.
Hu Xinyue relied on the power of Ao Li to achieve that.
Xu Xian took out the golden rune on his waist. This was a gift from Yu Xuanji. It could delay the heavenly tribulation. As long as he tossed this little golden thing aside, it wouldn't be long before the lightning struck.
He wasn't in a hurry to start. Instead, he closed his eyes and silently adjusted his breathing.
On the ship far away, Bai Suzhen, Yun Yan, and Ao Li silently watched this scene and prayed faithfully.
However, at this moment, a giant golden hand broke through the barrier of the formation and grabbed at Xu Xian, who was in mid-air.
Xu Xian had been trying to calm his mind. Now that the situation had changed, he had no time to react and was caught.
His expression became calmer, and a ball of golden True Fire of the Sun burst out from his body. However, it could only melt a little bit of the golden hand, and it healed in the blink of an eye.
Even the True Fire of the Sun couldn't hurt it at all!
When the women on the ship saw this scene, they all exclaimed. Bai Suzhen flew into the sky without saying a word.
However, the giant hand came and went quickly.
After grabbing Xu Xian, it disappeared into the formation in the blink of an eye.
Xiaoqing hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sister, what's going on?
Is that the legendary Demonic Lord? "
Bai Suzhen's face was solemn. "It's not a demon, it's a Buddha. Only Fahai of the Lingyin Temple can have such magic power nearby!" As an Immortal, she was far superior to Xu Xian, who was not even an Earth Immortal.
Xiaoqing said angrily, "We wanted to make peace with him. Why did he suddenly do this? Let's go find him now and find Xu Xian!"
Bai Suzhen nodded and said to Xiaoqing, "Qing 'er, the official is safe for the time being. Go comfort the younger sisters and tell them not to be anxious. I'll go find the official!"
The official had been keeping this resentment from erupting, which could be considered effective. She could only wait until the Jindan was refined and returned to Fahai, then the resentment could be completely ended. She couldn't understand why Fahai suddenly changed his mind!
But if there was really a battle, Ao Li and Xiaoqing couldn't help much.
Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment. "I'll go find help with Ao Li!" She handed the Star Chasing Sword to Bai Suzhen!
"Sister, wait for us!"
In midair, Xu Xian saw the two four-armed golden Buddhas grabbing him and asked in shock, "What are you doing?"
Fahai didn't answer. He brought Xu Xian back to the Lingyin Temple and entered the Mahavira Hall where the Tathagata Buddha was enshrined and threw Xu Xian inside.
Xu Xian stood up and suppressed his anger. "Fahai, what do you mean by this?
A dignified senior monk actually sneak-attacked me. Do you also want to stop me from crossing the tribulation? "He didn't call him master anymore.
Fahai said, "This old monk's grudge with Bai Suzhen should be settled. First, I'll settle you here so that you won't be implicated." His voice was vast, like the morning bell and evening drum, so loud that even the deaf could hear.
Xu Xian said angrily, "Are you afraid of being implicated or afraid that my wife will escape? Do you want to use me as a clamp?"
Fahai put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha, "Amitabha, think whatever you want!"
Xu Xian stepped forward and said, "About the resentment of the past, didn't we have an agreement first? How can you go back on your words?
Besides, it's just a few pills. Wait for a few more months and I'll return them to you! "
Fahai closed his eyes and said, "Today, this old monk has received Bodhisattva's decree. I must settle this resentment now."
Avalokitesvara had a very high status in Buddhism. Her wisdom and mana weren't something Fahai could compare with. After receiving her decree, Fahai didn't hesitate!
Xu Xian murmured, "Bodhisattva." He asked loudly, "What does this have to do with Bodhisattva?" He faintly felt that the problem involved was much more complicated than he thought.
What was the reason? Was it afraid that he would recover his mana and take it back to the underworld?
Fahai said, "Xu Xian, it's time to settle. If you, this old monk, and Bai Suzhen can settle the resentment of the past thousand years, you'll be able to achieve enlightenment. If you can't, you'll all be tied up in it.
Buddha has a saying: Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha.
If you can let go of Bai Suzhen and the bad karma in the human world, the door of Western Paradise will open for you.
Going through the heavenly tribulation is as easy as lifting a finger. Even if you can't, with your temperament, it's not difficult to become a saint with merits! "
He said these words in the voice of thunder. His voice wasn't loud, but every word hit Xu Xian's heart, forcing him to admit these truths.
However, Xu Xian's temperament was not that of an ordinary person. How could he be moved by mere words? "Fahai, no matter how brilliant your words are, don't even think about moving my heart!"
After saying this, he gathered all the spiritual power in his body. The sun in his spirit burned to the extreme, and his whole body was burning with golden flames. He shouted, "Lin!
Bing!
Fight! "With every word he spat out, the seal on his hand changed once. He was actually using three kinds of mantras at the same time.
The golden light on his body was condensed to the extreme, and as he punched with all his strength, the golden torrent swallowed Fahai who was standing in front of the main hall.
The main hall swayed, and smoke and dust rose. When the smoke and dust settled, the ground of the main hall was melted into a gully that was more than ten feet deep, extending all the way to the front of the pair of ragged shoes.
Xu Xian panted slightly, looking at Fahai who was standing in front of the main hall, unharmed. Was the difference between two heavenly tribulations really so big?
Or rather, it would be inconceivable if there wasn't such a difference after a thousand years of cultivation.
Fahai closed his eyes and shook his head. "Stubborn, stubborn!
Dauji, come watch him. She's already here. "With that, he turned and left.
Dauji turned to the door, his tower-like figure looking even more majestic than Fahai.
Xu Xian said angrily, "Do you think you can stop me?"
Dauji laughed. "I know that Almsgiver Xu has had many fortuitous encounters, but you can't beat Arhat Taming Dragon!"
"You've recovered your memory?!"
Dauji said, "Not just my memory. Bodhisattva gave me the sarira that I cultivated back then. It contains most of the spiritual power and spiritual nature that I cultivated in my previous life. Although my strength hasn't fully recovered, it's still far above an Earth Immortal. Don't tell me you don't know the difference!"
This was the mystery of Buddhist spells. It wasn't simply restoring the memory of one's previous life, but storing everything in the sarira that was cultivated. At the right time, one could be reincarnated perfectly.
Xu Xian said, "It's a pity that the original Dauji had the determination to lay down the butcher's knife, but in the end, he couldn't become a Buddha and was replaced by you!"
Dauji laughed. "I am Dauji, and Dauji is me. What's there to pity?
Besides, there's no need for me to do anything. Almsgiver Xu won't be able to get out. It's better for you to cultivate your Dharma in peace. When my master, Fahai, captures Bai Suzhen, don't worry, we won't harm her life. "
Xu Xian was furious. The metal spiritual force condensed into a gigantic ax in his hand, stirring up a violent whirlpool. He slashed down ruthlessly, but it did not hit Dauji. Instead, it hit a golden barrier. The barrier was hard to see with the naked eye. It could only be seen when it was attacked.
Xu Xian tried a few spells, but they were all useless. He recalled that when Fahai left, he seemed to have triggered something!
Dauji said with a smile, "This Buddha's Light Wall Protection comes from the Gautama Buddha statue behind you. This Buddha statue in Lingyin Temple has been under the care of countless people for hundreds of years. With the infinite power of faith gathered on it, it can unleash this Buddha's Light Wall Protection. It specializes in restraining all evil and heresy. It prevents heresy from destroying our Dharma. No matter how strong one's power is, it can't be broken. Do you think you can exhaust all these faith?
It's better to save your energy and listen to this Penniless Monk talk about the Dharma. Perhaps you will gain some enlightenment! "
Xu Xian turned around and looked at the Golden Buddha that was dozens of feet tall. Buddhism was vast and merciful. With your cultivation and wisdom, would you be hunted down for your own selfish reasons?
But in a trance, he heard the vast voice again when he transmigrated. "Not destined to be merciful, sharing great sorrow. With immeasurable merit, you will become a Buddha immediately." This time, it was much clearer than before.
Is it an illusion?
If not, Buddha, oh Buddha, will you advise me to accept my fate, or will you advise me to swim to the depths of the water again and challenge the direction of certain death?
…
Outside Lingyin Temple, Bai Suzhen stood on the stone steps and looked up at Fahai who stood in front of the mountain gate. "Zen Master Fahai, please return my official to me!"
Under the clear sky, the sunlight fell on the mountain path between the bamboo forest. The bamboo forest rustled, but it was not as tranquil as it was in the past. Instead, it carried a trace of uneasiness.
"Bai Suzhen, you didn't think of returning to the Heavenly Court after you repaid the debt of gratitude, and you even dared to stay in the mortal world to confuse Xu Xian. Could it be that you've forgotten the oath you made before Imperial Monarch Zhen Wu?"
He pointed from afar towards the lofty pagoda at the side of the West Lake. "This Leifeng Pagoda is where you belong!
If you're willing to allow yourself to be captured, then you might have a chance to leave the pagoda in the future. If you still want to resist stubbornly, then you'll be buried beneath this mountain of lightning for eternity! "
Bai Suzhen took a step forward. "Fahai, this is an enmity between you and me, and it has nothing to do with Xu Xian. Quickly let him go!" A few wisps of clouds suddenly floated over from nowhere in the cloudless sky.
