Chapter 391: Internal Fighting of Mifo
"What a powerful Zen method of pure thoughts, what a powerful Zen mind of evil thoughts. Even though I am proficient in all the Buddha's teachings, and have the protection of the Five Buddhas and the blessings of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas, I was unknowingly deceived by this scripture."

Bo Jiafan let out a long sigh, looked at Gandhala, and said mockingly, "You are really calculating."

He had desires in his heart but it was not obvious before, but now that he had figured out the mystery, Bo Jiafan knew that this guy seemed to be dissuading him, but in fact he was provoking his desires and making him read the scriptures in order to shake his foundation and buy time for his subsequent healing.

Gandhara didn't care either. He smiled and acted as if he didn't know what the other person was saying.

"I have warned you long ago, but you didn't take it seriously. If you feel you have been wronged, how about this as a thank you gift for the woman you gave me?"

Seeing this, Shao Siming narrowed his eyes slightly, secretly communicated with Du Egongsema, told the other party the latest information, and then observed Bo Jiafan's situation.

Compared to Gandhara, Bo Jifan’s Buddha heart was impacted by the concept of Pure Mind Zen, which caused his Dharma appearance and Buddha light to become unstable, and he needed some time to recuperate.

The so-called thank-you gift from Gandhara was a relic taken out from his chest, emitting warm Buddhist light.

“This Buddha’s light…”

Bo Jiafan's eyes showed a trace of surprise, and he whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, the owner of this relic was your very proud student back then. Did he disobey you? Or did he make a big mistake? I see the remaining will in it, which is full of reluctance, pain and despair. How did you kill him?"

"All."

Gandhara avoided the latter question and sneered instead: "After he went to the Central Plains to learn some so-called Mahayana Buddhism, he thought that we should open up the Pure Land, or dedicate our merits and wishes to all living beings, and bestow blessings on the herdsmen near the snow-capped mountains."

"But he didn't think about it. If there is no Pure Land, how can we guide the souls of sentient beings? What's the difference between us and those guys who practice evil methods in the Central Plains? Dedicating merits to sentient beings is even more ridiculous. People in the world are ignorant. Without the guidance of our master, how can they know all the Buddhas, Dharmas, and monks? It is a great favor for us to teach them the essence of Buddhism. If we don't repay them with our own vows and flesh and blood, how can we show the nobility of Buddhism..."

Bo Jiafan nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "That's true. No wonder you killed him. It's better to eliminate such a bad disciple as soon as possible. However, the quality of this relic is good, and the Buddha's light is rich. I accept it. But, is it really okay for me to take it? Without the help of this relic, can you still suppress your injuries?"

"Besides, who do you think I am? Why would I need the help of that evil disciple?"

"In that case, I wish you a speedy recovery."

After saying that, Bo Jifan took the relic and left, while Gandhara returned to the bedside, looked at Duogongsema, and was about to take action.

Shao Siming gently waved the purple bamboo branch in his hand, a faint wave emerged, and a thin mist spread, covering the surrounding Pure Land formations layer by layer. When entering this place, Shao Siming had already stopped at several weak spots in this Pure Land, using mist to conceal and obscure its operation.

Now, waves are arising, new fog is falling, the parts that were originally obscured begin to appear, while the normal parts begin to be obscured, and the normally operating pure land has flaws.

This is not a big problem, but it affects the flow of vows and Gandhara's physical condition.

Gandhara, who had mobilized the golden body of Vairocana to guard against Bojiafan, had already seen his health deteriorate, and then the loss of the relic to help suppress the abnormality pushed his body to the point of collapse.

Now that he had lost the normal protection of his vows, Gandhara opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He had no time to pay attention to Duogonsema. He returned to the bed and silently circulated the Buddha's light, driving the Dharma image to further extract the surrounding vows.

Shao Siming did not take action again, but handed over the control of the remaining mist to Duergonsema.

'I am leaving now. You can use the mist in your hand to manipulate the little obstacles I have left here. It should be able to create greater opportunities for you. When necessary, it can also provide you with a certain amount of protection. Remember, your existence is also very important. Don't sacrifice yourself for such evil...'

Shao Siming gave a few more instructions and left the Gandhara temple. He found Feifei and others, handed them the token, and asked them to help protect Duogongsema's people, or lead the creatures around them to leave first.

Taoist Yuntian frowned slightly when he heard this. The middle-aged man who had previously slandered the Jinhua Sect's method as nothing more than unorthodox methods compared to the Shaoqing Immortal Method of the Emei Sect when communicating with Suguang spoke again.

"If a large number of living beings around us leave, it is very likely to attract the attention of several evil demons in the snowy mountains. I think the right choice is to leave some magic weapons behind to protect them, and then make a concerted effort to destroy the evil demons directly."

As soon as these words came out, Su Guang immediately refuted: "How can this be? There are at least a million people nearby. If you want to protect them, what kind of magic weapon do you need to leave behind? Even if you leave behind such a magic weapon, how can those mortals use it?"

The middle-aged man smiled when he heard this and said, "Of course, ordinary people can't do it, but I remember that the leader of the Jinhua Sect obtained a special magic weapon from the Mingchen Sect a few years ago. It is called the Miro Sky-covering Umbrella. If this treasure is used to protect an area, it can protect millions of lives."

"Are you sure there are only a million creatures near the snow mountain? And if I remember correctly, your Emei Sect also has a magic weapon called the Nine Rings Immortal Pillar, which should be able to protect the creatures in the area. Why don't you bring out that treasure as well?"

Shao Siming glanced at the middle-aged man and while he was speaking sarcastically, he had an inexplicable bad feeling in his heart.

This premonition was very weak, and she was unable to detect it even if she sensed it carefully. Only by borrowing the power of Chu Tai in Jinhua Cave Heaven could she vaguely feel that this bad premonition was a sense of fear of being threatened.

"He has a power that is powerful enough to threaten me..."

Shao Siming was slightly surprised. In her eyes, this middle-aged man had the magic power and realm of a normal fifth-grade cultivator. He was still a long way from the fourth grade. How could he threaten her?

Moreover, the behavior of this middle-aged man was also very strange. After being ridiculed by Shao Siming, he immediately shouted and his emotions fluctuated greatly.

Suguang, Qiguang and others who originally recognized him couldn't help but reveal a slightly unhappy look on their faces.

However, Taoist Yuntian remained silent, as if he was tacitly agreeing with his words.

In the end, Ling Miao and his wife couldn't stand it anymore and tried to smooth things over, finally skipping over the topic.

But after this incident, the relationship between Shao Siming and the Emei Sect became even worse, and some of the independent cultivators who came to help also secretly distanced themselves from the Emei Sect.

Interestingly, Master Tianque and Master Kongtuo were also silent this time.

The silence of these two people also made the middle-aged man feel that he was not at fault, and he kept coming up with new ideas.

During the period, when she said that Feifei and others could take away some of the people and leave most of the evil cultivators in the confused snow mountain, she looked at Shao Siming with contempt, as if to express that she had retreated. Unable to bear it, the Pure Light Goddess directly stood beside Shao Siming, stated her position, and expressed her idea of ​​helping Feifei to save people.

Taoist Yuntian remained silent about these changes, while Suguang blushed with embarrassment and walked out angrily.

After observing the middle-aged man for a moment, Shao Siming did not give him an answer. He told Taoist Ling Miao that he needed to go to Bo Jiafan's Taoist temple to observe his condition.

When Taoist Ling Miao saw that Shao Siming had successfully collected information about Gandhara, he naturally would not doubt his ability to enter and leave Bo Jiafan's temple.

This fourth-rank celestial being who had always hoped to rebuild the sect gave a few Taiyi Cold Light Ice Soul Divine Thunder Seeds that he had carefully refined, and also instructed Shao Siming: "I have a piece of news that cannot be confirmed for the time being. There is a Tantric monk living in seclusion next to Bo Jiafan's dojo. It is said that his name is Cang Tan Zang, and he has about the fourth-rank cultivation level. Be careful when you sneak in."

Shao Siming nodded, and commanded the Taiyi Youxian Banner to fly away, following the slight cause and effect connection he had sensed when he met Bo Jiafan before, and found the temple of this Tantric Buddhist practitioner.

It is also a magnificent pure land, but compared to the pure sacredness of Gandhara, Bodhidharma's temple has many more strange buildings.

It was a hill made up of millions of bones. Various bones were used as building materials and piled up into a forest of corpses, a city of human bones, a skull palace, etc. In the center of the skull palace, stood a huge silver-forged lotus moon throne, and a fleshless human skeleton sat on it.

After Bo Jiafan entered the Pure Land, he immediately came to the skeleton, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully, "Brother Chan Tan Zang, I am here to disturb you again."

The skeleton called Sandalwood Zang did not give the other party a good look, and said in a cold voice: "You guys, you never come to the temple for no reason. What problem did you encounter today that you want me to help solve?"

"Let me make it clear in advance. I have already repaid you for helping me build this White Bone Altar City. If you want me to help you now, you must pay me a satisfactory reward, otherwise..."

Chandanzang's almost threatening words did not arouse Bo Jiafan's anger. He simply took out the relic from his arms, looked at the skeleton and said, "I want to use this relic as a reward in exchange for your understanding of the Pure Mind Zen."

"This relic? It was created by practicing the Dharma of Mahavairocana. There seems to be a trace of Gandhara's aura in it. It should be related to him."

"Brother, you have a keen eye and can tell the origin of this thing at a glance."

As he spoke, Bo Jiafan told the other party about his previous experience, and then began to recite the Pure Mind Zen method that he had memorized.

"Interesting, interesting. So the way of cultivation of the Pure Mind lineage back then was actually this kind of method? No wonder you came to me. In this world today, only I, who have cultivated to the level of the Guardian of the Corpse Forest, can help you a little. Give me the relic, and I will tell you how to practice the Pure Mind Zen method."

"This is not okay."

When the time came, Bo Jiafan suddenly objected, rejected the other party's request, and said bluntly: "If I give you this thing first, what if you don't want to tell me your feelings, or just say a few words casually? You have to pay a part of the deposit first..."

As he spoke, Bo Jiafan had a playful look on his face: "Brother, I now know why you practice in my Pure Land. You just want the holy Buddha teachings passed down by me and that Gandhara guy. As long as you are willing to help me improve my Pure Land, let alone the relics, I can even give you that Gandhara guy. His condition has not been very good recently..."

"That guy thought he had mastered some of the Holy Buddha's teachings, so he wanted to fight against Tianque. He didn't even look at himself to see if he was worthy enough to be compared with Tianque, who had escaped from the Holy Buddha's nose?"

Having said this, Bo Jiafan sneered twice.

"When I taught that girl the Guanyin method, I specifically guided the power of the Holy Buddha to bless her. The Buddha light in her body seems pure, but it is actually based on the power of the Holy Buddha. As long as Gandhara relies on the girl to cultivate the Joyful Heaven Method, the power of the Holy Buddha will return to his body and expand further..."

Upon hearing this, Chandanzang was silent for a while, then his lower jaw opened and a sound came out from his mouth.

"If it really succeeds, I want that guy's body. I can use this white bone mandala to help you contain his pure land."

Hearing this answer, Bo Jiafan smiled excitedly.

"That's great, very good!"

As he spoke, he sat there and silently asked the other party about the method of practicing the Pure Mind Zen.

Upon hearing this, Shao Siming stepped forward and listened. He thought he could get some subtle information, but from Bo Jiafan's expression and Cang Tan Zang's performance, it seemed that although the two sides had reached a consensus on cooperation, a lot of information was hidden in the communication, and there was no trust between them at all.

"But there is no trust between the two of them, which means that there must be something wrong with the connection between this land of bones and the Pure Land..."

Understanding this, Shao Siming's eyes lit up slightly. He wandered around, leaving some mist and even emerald green light at the junction of the two areas. Then, with the help of Chu Tai's power, he roughly sensed the progress of Feifei and others.

It has to be said that Duogonsema's token has a very high status among the tribesmen.

In fact, in the hearts of many tribesmen, this girl is the incarnation of Bodhisattva on earth. They believe in Duonggongsema more than Bodhisatta.

This phenomenon made Shao Siming feel that something was not right. He silently made hand gestures, but was still shrouded in a fog, unable to see clearly or understand.

Shao Siming, who was a little worried, contacted Chu Tai, and through Chu Tai contacted Fei Fei and others. After questioning and investigation, he was surprised to find that many of the elderly among these young girls had dreamed of the Lord of the Corpse Forest.

"The Lord of the Cemetery told us that Dugongsema is the incarnation of Avalokitesvara in the human world. He was born to deal with a great disaster that will befall us in the future. Only Dugongsema has the chance to save us. We originally thought that Dugongsema was born to save our master, but now it seems that our master has strayed from the right path..."

Such remarks made Shao Siming's eyes slightly widen, and he looked at Cang Tan Zang who was communicating with Bo Jiafan.

"Ok?"

Perhaps it was the fluctuation of emotions, or maybe it was because someone mentioned the other person, Cang Tan Zang looked around, and startled Shao Siming so much that he waved the purple bamboo branch, rolling up more fog to protect himself.
