Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 381: Attack from a distance
"It's just to let you pay back part of the karma."

The wisdom light behind Master Tianque's head turned, and the milky white light spread out in all directions. He looked down at a piece of cloth on his body.

"Just like the owner of this piece of cloth, although he has been enlightened by the Buddha's teachings and understands the difference between good and evil, and has the intention to do good, the karma of the past will not disappear. He still needs 7,645 cuts to be free. I will help him in the next life."

"How can you have a good ending?"

"Gandhara! Your time has come!"

Master Tianque flicked his long sleeves, and the Buddha's light in the sky gathered inward and merged with the Vajra King of the Three Worlds in the void. The karmic fire and the Buddha's light blended together like water and milk, neutralizing each other and turning into a mixture of gold, white and black flames, which entangled and flowed with each other, reflecting myriad rays of light, which was beautiful beyond words.

The other monks who were secretly observing in the snowy mountains realized that something was wrong and tried to stop it.

Several monks from the Emei sect appeared one after another, stood in the void, and released their magic weapons to intercept.

Master Tianque changed his hand gestures, and Buddha's light intertwined all around. The images of Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Vajra King surrounding Gandhara shattered one by one into colored glass light that scattered in all directions, and fine cracks gradually appeared on their bodies.

Master Tianque swung his long sleeves back and forth, continuously collecting black air from the cracks, transforming it into thousands of spiritual lights, accelerating the collapse of the Dharma image.

When most of Gandhara's magical powers were broken, he didn't care about anything else and raised his head and roared: "Why don't you take action?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Tai immediately realized that something was wrong. He had been prepared for a long time and stretched out his hand. The power of the cave sky gathered and turned into a nine-section staff in his hand. He waved it lightly, and Shao Siming in the distance made the same move.

The purple bamboo branch in his hand was waved and fell, creating layers of ripples that shook the void.

Five crystal clear pillars emerged, standing in the five directions according to the distribution of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and hanging down blue clouds and white mist, evolving the mutual generation and restraint of Kan and Li, and finally settling in the thick soil in the center, gathering the five-colored smoke and forming a five-colored cloud platform about an acre in size.

The five crystal pillars shook and stabilized the void, blocking Shao Siming's magical power.

Afterwards, rays of light gathered on the five-colored cloud platform, and a treasure seal jumped out and flew towards Master Tianque.

"Master, be careful! That is the Buddha-transformed Golden Immortal Seal that Taoist Wutai used to make!"

"Brother, don't use the Buddha's light to protect your body, use the protective magic weapon!"

A Taoist from the Emei sect and a monk nearby spoke at the same time, but their reminders were too late.

Faced with the sudden attack, Master Tianque still instinctively used the protective Buddha light to respond.

The Buddha-Transformed Golden Immortal Seal is extremely peculiar. It is a magic weapon specially made by the Taoist priests of Mount Wutai in the past in order to deal with the Buddhist practitioners of Mount Wutai. Not only does it contain the secret magic spells of the heavens, but also many magical methods of the immortals. The combination of the two can suppress many Buddhist magic techniques and supernatural powers.

Although Master Tianque's Buddha's light was pure and contained many mysteries, it was unable to stop the Buddha's Golden Immortal Seal. It hit him on the back, causing him to stagger on the spot, and then blood spurted out.

Drops of blood with golden glow fell on the Gandhara image, giving birth to countless golden lotuses, holding up illusory shadows, and converging into the patchwork clothes on his body.

Chu Tai stretched out his hand towards the void and took out the Liang Yi Qing Ning Fan. Shao Siming turned his wrist and the Tai Yi Two Phase Ring fell down. They touched each other to form the Yin and Yang phases. Suddenly, an arm holding a fan stretched out from the faint light.

Yu Guifang, who was on guard against the Taiyi Two-Phase Ring, was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted. Wasn't that fan the treasure of the Taiyi Jinhua Sect, the Liangyi Qingning Fan?

She thought it was bad, but she was just like Master Tianque before. She was hit by the Yin and Yang Qi before she could react. She staggered and almost fell to the ground. Before she could stand firm, the Taiyi Youxian Banner swung in the air, sending Feifei and others away. The Dragon and Tiger Hook flew out and turned into two long rainbows that twisted towards Yu Guifang.

Yu Guifang, who was about to manifest her own three-headed, six-armed celestial form, was shocked. The dragon-tiger hook had previously broken through Gandhara's defenses. Although Yu Guifang thought that her karma was far inferior to that of the other party, she was also very clear that her form was not as strong as the other party's.

With a thought, the Flying Goddess appeared in mid-air, holding a pipa, a flower basket and other items, and blocking the falling dragon-tiger hook.

Suddenly, there were loud thunder sounds all around, and an invisible sound wave hit Yu Guifang, breaking one of her hairpins and causing some of her hair to fall down.

When he looked back, he saw that he was attacked by the Pure Light Goddess invited by the Snow Mountain Sect.

"It seems that I really haven't taken action for too long. Two mere fifth-rank cultivators have the guts to act so arrogantly in front of me."

Yu Guifang felt the change in her own image, and there was an obvious change in the words she chose, but her tone remained as gentle as water, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

But both Chu Tai and Jinguang Tiannv were not ordinary people and would not be affected by Yu Guifang's power at all. One of them picked up the purple bamboo branch and the other held the pipa tightly, and they stood against Yu Guifang from a distance.

"Interesting, you really think you can beat me?"

Yu Guifang's aura slowly increased, and the Flying Goddesses gathered behind her, manifesting a three-headed, six-armed celestial being.

"They can't do it, then can I?"

A ray of Buddha's light fell, and a Zen master holding a staff stood in front of Yu Guifang. He was wearing a gray monk's robe, with kind eyes, and looked to be about forty years old, but his skin was extremely fair and he had a scholarly air. At first glance, he looked more like a scholar than a monk.

"Master Kongtuo?"

"Uncle Kongtuo?"

The voices of Yu Guifang and Jinguang Tiannv rang out one after another, both pointing at the Zen master in front of him. He gently waved the staff in his hand, looked at Yu Guifang and said, "Sir, you used the Buddha Golden Immortal Seal to sneak attack Brother Tianque. I wonder if you have the courage to fight me?"

"Why not? I just want to experience the mystery of Master Kongtuo's Buddha light with and without form."

As he spoke, the celestial being took action immediately. Chu Tai observed through Shao Siming's eyes. With a wave of the Taiyi Youxian Banner, he disappeared into the void and arrived at the Wutai lineage's base.

The two monks who stayed behind in Wutai became secretly alert when they saw Chu Tai show up. One of them even rubbed his hands together, releasing thousands of streams of green fire, which flashed in the air and collided with each other, making a rumbling thunderous sound. It was obviously some kind of unconventional thunder method.

Shao Siming gently waved the purple bamboo branch, and ripples appeared, quickly turning into waves that covered the area below. The green fire fell into it, and its vitality was immediately dispersed, making it difficult for it to form a force.

In contrast, it was another old woman on duty who noticed something was wrong. She reached out and took out dozens of strings of paper money from her hair and threw them out casually. Streams of black air rose up and rushed upwards, polluting the waves and blocking them.

Then the old woman jumped back into the camp without even looking at her companions, trying to use the formation to deal with Shao Siming.

Shao Siming looked around, and Chu Tai also took this opportunity to understand some of the changes. The Taiyi Two-Phase Ring fell again, overlapping each other to form a hole. An arm stretched out, and with a wave of the Liangyi Qingning Fan, it easily broke through the defense of the base and destroyed Wutai's layout here.
