Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 586: One God, Two Bodies
After the familiar prayer, Chu Tai seemed to hear those waves of prayers that sounded like wailing again.

"My Lady of the Ten Thousand Leaves and Thousand Cores Lotus Mother, please lead us to survive!"

The last two sounds overlapped and echoed, Chu Tai was startled, and shook the golden lotus to urge Jingguang to leave quickly.

At the same time, outside the crack, in the world of Dongyu, the Lotus Mother with Ten Thousand Leaves and Thousands of Stamens suddenly raised her head, her eyes opened, and the patterns on her eyeballs began to move.

Countless lotuses emerged from the void, and arms reached out into the void.

Accompanied by crisp sounds, it seemed as if something was broken, and the broken Buddha light splashed everywhere.

"No? Why not?"

A hint of doubt appeared in Mother Lian's eyes, followed by confusion, pain, despair, and finally madness.

"Why do you want to leave me too, ahhhhhhh..."

A painful wail came from the Lotus Mother's mouth, blood flowed from her eyes, overflowed from the roots of the many lotus flowers, and seeped out from the pores of her white arms.

Chu Tai in the Xuanhuang Jade Sculpture sensed this change, and hurriedly warned everyone and mobilized the power of many spiritual realms to resist the madness of the Lotus Mother.

"What is this thing? It contains boundless greed, anger, ignorance, and obsession. No wonder you didn't relax the conditions for giving away the jade token for the sake of your faith. Without a certain level of meditation, you would probably be possessed by the devil in the first place when faced with such an impact."

The body of the Taoist priest Ruo Que emitted white light, like a bright full moon, and green lotus leaves grew out from the moonlight, refracting green clouds and suppressing the blood mist rising from the earth's veins.

"This is the calamity on the other side of heaven and earth. Daoist friend, please try to stop it, and I will cast a spell to stop it outside the sky."

Chu Tai spoke in a low voice, and Taoist Ruoque did not hold back when he heard it. He spread out his five fingers, releasing red lotus fire that burned the blood mist around him.

But the next moment, the sound of repeated chanting sounded beside him, and the originally docile red lotus fire became difficult to control.

Then, golden lights emerged, and the blood-colored mist faded from its bright red color, transforming into white mist, on which condensed a shadow as big as a mountain, like a Bodhisattva, or a goddess.

The lotus flowers continued to bloom, the arms stretched out one by one, and the eye-like patterns blossomed brilliantly, making the shadow look sacred and strange, solemn and charming.

Seeing this scene, Ruoque was shocked. His hand gestures changed and he clenched his hands together. Endless flames flew out and turned into fire snakes that fell from the sky.

The phantom stood motionless in mid-air, allowing the flames to fall. Before it touched, countless lotus flowers grew out, supporting the flames, allowing the most powerful magical power that was unparalleled in the world to turn into lights and be carried in the lotus flowers.

Seeing this scene, Ruo Que Taoist knew that he really could not win.

However, his methods finally caught the attention of Mother Lian, and a little approval appeared in her eyes: "You are clear-headed and have mastered the three religions. You are really a good child. But I have to find something I lost now, so I can't play with you for the time being. Please step aside."

As he spoke, an arm stretched out from the lotus, as if picking up a flower. The surrounding void collapsed inward, as if to suppress Taoist Ruoque.

At the same time, Chu Tai clearly sensed that several spiritual realms had lost contact and some of the spiritual realms' power had faded.

Taoist Ruo Que flicked his long sleeves, and blue clouds danced in the sky. Green lotus leaves appeared and filled the area in front of him in the blink of an eye. They turned into a sea of ​​green lotus clouds, supporting his fallen arm. At the same time, he turned his body, passed through the fingers of the Lotus Mother, and returned to Chu Tai's side.

"Daoyou, are you okay?"

Mother Lian was a little surprised, and looked at Ruoque with even more joy. However, when she saw the black and yellow jade carving, her expression became a little gloomy.

"I thought you were thinking about me, but I didn't expect you to stop me? Why? Am I not good to you?" The coldness in Lotus Mother's eyes was mixed with a little misunderstanding and pain. Chu Tai whispered: "Fellow Daoist Lotus Mother, do you still remember who I am now? Do you still remember who you are? Are you the goddess who gave birth to thousands of flowers on the earth and brought spring vitality, or are you the Tzu Chi monk who practiced the Guanyin method and became a sacrifice?"

Hearing this, Mother Lian trembled all over, and endless death energy gushed out from her life-filled shadow. The spiritual realm constructed by Chu Tai instantly turned blood red.

A ray of golden light emerged from Chu Tai, protecting Ruo Que behind him and allowing Lian Mu to vent her emotions.

"What do you know? How do you know this? Have you seen her? Where is she? Come out, come out! You and I are obviously one!"

The increasingly intense emotions made the aura emitted by Mother Lotus more terrifying. Gradually, the entire spiritual realm was shaking, and the Xuanhuang Jade Sculpture was also constantly vibrating, as if cracks would appear in the next moment.

But at this moment, the sound of an ancient golden bell suddenly echoed in the void, as if it came from the ninth heaven, and Mother Lian's body suddenly stiffened for a moment.

At the same time, rays of light appeared on the dark yellow jade carving, spreading in all directions and stabilizing the spiritual realm again.

Moreover, ancient spells appeared around the virtual image of the Lotus Mother. No matter how hard she tried, she could not shake this spiritual realm in the slightest.

"let me out!"

Lotus Mother roared angrily, and Chu Tai sighed, drawing more strength to suppress it temporarily.

Ruo Que looked at the scene in front of him and asked, "So, the way to save the world now is to suppress this senior again?"

"No, it's to wake her up and let her know some truth."

Chu Tai said, looking at the gap where the pure light was, and said with emotion: "I found another person who should have seen the cause of everything."

"Namo Amitabha! Well done! Well done!"

After witnessing the sacrifice before the birth of the Lotus Mother, Jingguang walked through three illusions again with the Thousand-Leaf Golden Lotus.

They witnessed similar yet different scenes respectively.

In this triple illusion, Jingguang saw that the one who was sacrificed at the beginning was Master Tzu Chi, but at the last moment, Master Tzu Chi was afraid. The fear of death in her heart made her choose a brief resistance, which led to problems with the protection of Lotus Mother's predecessor, and some villagers almost died in the sacrifice.

This was just a little fear that Master Tzu Chi had before her death. After causing casualties to others, she came to her senses.

She voluntarily sacrificed herself and made a great wish to save the villagers, merge with the goddess, and become a new force to protect this place.

“I didn’t expect that the goddess and Master Tzu Chi were two sides of the same coin, one god with two aspects, and the girl who was performing the sacrifice at that time was both the goddess’ past and Master Tzu Chi’s kindness.”

Holding the thousand-petal golden lotus, Jingguang looked at the girl who finally appeared in front of her and asked, "Although I don't know what happened in the outside world, judging from the performance of Daoist Fellow Taining, it must not be a good thing. Can you be faster? I don't have time to play tricks with you."

“Are all young people nowadays like you?”

The girl looked at the pure light, a little helpless in her eyes, and then looked at the thousand-leaf golden lotus, sighing: "Daoyou, come out too. I can sense that you have temporarily blocked my true self outside of Fangzhu Qiankun. I think your consciousness is more here at the moment. Just come out directly, no need to hide."

Golden light surged, and Chu Tai's shadow appeared. He bowed to the girl and said, "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, do you still remember who you are? Are you the goddess of vitality who gave birth to thousands of flowers, or the monk Tzu Chi who practices the Guanyin method?"
