The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 267: Evil Spirit Bodhisattva, Nine-Armed Golden Body

"Someone seemed to be talking outside just now?"

The temple keeper was a little uncertain. He looked outside the door again and found that there was no one outside.

Taoist Zhang seemed to be talking to the air, but his spiritual perception as a cultivator made him feel an extremely strong sense of oppression.

It was as if there was something guarding outside the door.

With a large supply of agarwood, Ali and Cang Bing's strength increased rapidly and improved every day. Even the temple keeper of the second level could not see their figures clearly even with the Yin-Yang eyes.

"What are you looking at? Have you finished what Brother Nine asked you to do?"

In a trance, the temple keeper suddenly saw a little female ghost in red clothes with blood coming out of all seven orifices. She was riding a paper horse and holding two pink swords, which scared him.

Behind the little female ghost, there were actually several evil ghosts with extremely terrifying auras. They were wearing armor and had hideous and ferocious looks, which were very frightening.

The temple keeper just took a few glances and felt a chill all over his body, so he quickly looked away.

He secretly thought that he was worthy of being called Taoist Priest Zhang, as he could even subdue and control such a terrifying evil spirit.

Following Zhang Jiuyang's instructions, he used thunder and fire talismans to seal all the doors and windows on all sides, and hung the famous evil-slaying sword under the beam, facing the door.

After doing all this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look at Taoist Zhang.

"Calm down, calm your mind, and don't panic no matter what happens."

Zhang Jiuyang's voice sounded, and it seemed to have some kind of strange magic, which quickly calmed the hearts of the temple keeper and the man.

The hall was silent with only the faint sound of dragon roars. The sacred, majestic, masculine and domineering aura became stronger and stronger, and the golden light was so bright that they could hardly see Zhang Jiuyang's figure.

The temple keeper suddenly felt a pang in his heart. Why did the golden rope refined by Taoist Zhang look a bit like... the dragon-binding rope hanging around the waist of Lord Lingguan?

Just as he looked more and more like it, a voice suddenly sounded outside.

"Master Zhang, please save me, please save us!"

A figure appeared, holding his wife, his face revealed in the moonlight, a little haggard, but vaguely showing some elegance.

The temple keeper's eyes widened instantly, he looked at the man next to him, and then at the man outside.

These two people are exactly the same?
So was the person he picked up at the foot of the mountain really a human?

His tailbone shuddered and a chill went straight to his heart. Just as he was about to speak, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out.

Ali rushed forward with a knife, her eyes full of excitement.

"Master Zhang, save me——"

Before the man could finish his words, he was beheaded with a knife, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

Then, Cang Bing's sword fell on his headless body again, and even the woman he was holding was not spared, and he shot her through directly.

The Wuchang soldiers have no idea what mercy is. They have long lost their humanity and are extremely murderous. The only one who can control them is the person who opened the military altar.

In an instant, the woman's bulging belly was cut open by a sword from a rogue soldier, and it was actually empty inside. After a few breaths, the flesh and blood turned into weeds.

It turned out to be a scarecrow!
The man was not a scarecrow, but a corpse curled up on the ground, and finally turned into a weasel.

The temple keeper finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be a test. This weasel must have been driven by the Buddha Mother to test the Lingguan Temple. After all, Taoist Zhang was in charge here, so she would be afraid of him.

With evil soldiers guarding outside and talisman swords suppressing inside, this Buddha Mother should retreat.

Just as this thought came to the temple keeper's mind, the sound of Sanskrit chanting suddenly came from outside, and from a distance he saw a team moving forward.

A group of nuns were carrying an open-air sedan chair forward. Some were scattering paper, some were beating gongs, and some were putting their hands together and chanting Buddhist scriptures. Their steps were unusually light, as if they were floating three inches off the ground.

Even if there are houses blocking their way, they can pass through the walls directly.

On the sedan chair is a statue of the Buddha cast in gold foil. The statue has nine arms and sits on a lotus pedestal. Her head is covered with a red cloth, and her appearance is solemn and majestic.

"Welcome the Great and Powerful Buddha Mother Bodhisattva of the Western Paradise!"

Some nuns shouted loudly with fanatical eyes.

"Is this... Youshen?"

The temple keeper was very surprised. It looked like a parade of gods, but why are you, a Bodhisattva from the Buddhist sect, parading in front of my Taoist temple?
"It's her! She is the Buddha Mother!"

"She is an evil spirit, not a Bodhisattva!"

When the man saw the statue, his expression instantly became horrified.

The continuous sound of the Sanskrit chant seemed to have some kind of magic, which made him, who was originally disgusted and afraid, develop an irresistible attachment.

I even felt a sense of guilt, as if I had misunderstood the Buddha Mother's good intentions and betrayed her.

Even the temple keeper who possessed magical powers looked dazed.

Fortunately, the Sword of Slaying Evil rang out, and the clear sound of the sword woke the two of them up instantly.

"Bah! Where did this monster come from? How dare he pretend to be a Bodhisattva?"

"Take my old pear and cut it!"

Ali drew his sword and mounted his horse. Facing the so-called Mother of Buddha, he showed no fear at all and led his troops to charge. Before the sword arrived, the spell had already arrived.

A scarlet blood light enveloped the nuns. In just a moment, the nuns who were chanting scriptures began to rot all over and screamed in agony.

In a few breaths, it turned into pools of blood.

The blood light spread to the statue of the Buddha Mother, trying to corrode it, but golden light shone, and the Buddha's light shone everywhere. When Ah Li rushed to her, the statue of the Buddha Mother turned into a huge golden body of a Bodhisattva, with brilliant Buddha's light flowing all over its body and a seven-color halo behind its head. The red cloth also disappeared, revealing a face full of compassion.

The Bodhisattva lowered his eyes.

"Ghosts that harm heaven and man shall fall into the Avici Hell."

She stretched out one of her nine arms and covered Ali with a swastika symbol flowing in the palm of her hand.

"I'll be a good boy!"

Ah Li slapped the paper horse under her crotch, and the horse turned into a paper bird, carrying her out of the shadow of the slap.

Boom!

The ground shook violently, and many soldiers were sent back to the Five-horse Altar by this palm strike.

"I kill, I kill, I kill, kill, kill!"

Faced with such a terrifying enemy who even dared to transform into a Buddhist bodhisattva, Ali did not retreat but instead advanced, riding a paper bird to kill her.

The Buddha Mother waved all nine arms, trying to catch the fly-like paper bird, but Ali's origami skills were much better than before, and her speed was much faster than before.

Moreover, she has the talent of predicting the future, which is integrated with her fighting instinct. She can always sense the Buddha Mother's movements in advance and avoid them.

She dodged left and right, and even jumped out from between the opponent's fingers several times, leaving knife marks on his palms.

Ali was extremely excited, as if she had transformed herself into the body of the Monkey King, ready to have a hearty battle with old Tathagata.

The Buddha Mother seemed to be a little angry. She had not expected that this little female ghost possessed such magical skills and was quite accomplished. It was really embarrassing that she could not capture her right away.

Nine hands were raised at the same time, and each made a mysterious hand seal.

Oops!

Ali was shocked and thought that she couldn't escape this time.

Sure enough, as the nine seals were formed, the space around her seemed to be blocked, forming a cage composed of nine light circles.

Ali chopped it with her knife, but the cage didn't move at all.

Then, the golden body of the Buddha opened her mouth and spewed out a raging flame into the cage condensed by the light circle, instantly turning it into a sea of ​​fire.

Flame is the nemesis of evil spirits. Even a ghost of Ali's level would feel extremely threatened in the flames.

Fortunately, at this moment, a dragon roar sounded.

A black dragon that was more than ten feet long flew out from the clouds, roared, and directly hit the golden body of the Mother of Buddha with its head, falling to the ground like a meteorite.

"Don't...bully...Li..."

Ao Ya's voice sounded intermittently, but was extremely firm, and his dragon eyes were full of anger.

Her magic power has improved compared to before, and she has also learned to fly, but unlike her sister who possesses various magical powers, her strongest feature is still her dragon body.

She can even collapse a mountain with her head!
Boom!

The hard dragon head hit the golden body of the Buddha, causing the huge and majestic golden body to shake violently.

At the same time, a sword sound was heard, and a red light flew by like lightning. The star pattern on the sword was shining brightly, and the words "Zhan Xie" could be vaguely seen.

There was a crisp sound.

One of the Buddha's arms was directly cut off by the Sword of Slaying Evil, and a red-gold flame burned at the broken wrist, burning the gold foil into drops of golden water, revealing the blue-black arm inside, with evil spirits rampant.

The cage of fire suddenly had a flaw, and Ali rushed out. Her red skirt was stained with flames, and her face was covered in dust, but her eyes were still black and bright.

Roar!
Ao Ya flew over and caught her, while the Sword of Evil-Slaying was fighting against the Buddha Mother, like a series of red lightning. Sonic booms and the deafening sound of metal colliding could be heard in the air.

Sparks flew and flames raged.

After discussing Taoism with Pei Qianhuo and Pei Qingchi, Zhang Jiuyang's sword skills improved a lot. Although he was fighting with a flying sword at the moment, he had already displayed several sets of superior sword techniques while moving around.

Sometimes it is as fierce as fire, sometimes it is as deep as a mountain, sometimes it is agile as the wind, and sometimes it is domineering as thunder.

During the fight with the Buddha Mother, he gradually digested his insights into the way of the sword during this period, and his use of the flying sword became more handy.

The most terrifying thing was the Jade Pivot Sky Fire swirling on his flying sword, which continuously melted the gold foil on the Buddha Mother's body, revealing her hideous and ugly true face.

clang! clang! clang! clang!
The forty-ninth sword, the Evil-Slaying Sword controlled by Zhang Jiuyang, almost became a red dragon condensed from flames, so domineering and powerful that it burned the night sky red.

From a distance, it looks like a dragon descending from heaven to defeat the devil.

The Buddha's body retreated repeatedly, and three of her nine arms were cut off. When she could no longer bear it, she let out a roar from her fang-filled mouth, and strange runes appeared around her body.

As if some kind of seal had been unlocked, the energy of the Buddha Mother instantly surged.

clang!
She stretched out a hand and actually grabbed the Evil-Slaying Sword.

The fire dragon kept struggling, making it difficult for her to hold it, but she quickly grasped the Evil-Slaying Sword with her other hands, as if putting a circle of heavy shackles on the fire dragon.

"If you hurt my golden body, I will break your magic sword!"

The Buddha's voice was like a loud bell, mixed with uncontrollable anger. She used several arms to exert force at the same time, trying to break the Evil-Slaying Sword!

The sound of the sword rang out, seemingly with a hint of pain.

At this moment, a ray of golden light flew over, filled with sacred and majestic energy, like a flying dragon, growing to a hundred feet long against the wind and entwining the Mother of Buddha.

Dragon Binding Rope, mission accomplished!
