The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 382: The Innate Qi, the Killing Tathagata

"Miao Shenke..."

The Two-Faced Buddha repeated the name over and over in his mind, but he had no impression of it at all. However, he was very sure of one thing: he was definitely no match for this old Taoist priest.

"Amitabha."

At the critical moment, the two-faced Buddha was still able to remain calm. He whispered a Buddhist name and took the initiative to reveal his true identity.

This time, there was no cloud or mist covering it, and its true appearance was revealed.

The Two-Faced Buddha knew very well that in front of this unfathomable old Taoist priest, all the means of hiding his appearance were just a show of skill and could not hide those terrifying eyes at all.

"Haha, little monk, you are so ugly."

Miao Shen Ke was very straightforward. Over the long years, he had seen many ugly people, but none of them could compare to the monk in front of him.

His facial features are hideous and ferocious, like a beast in human form, and even his teeth are like sharp saw teeth, which is very different from ordinary people.

Miao Shenke didn't like it very much and kept shaking his head.

When they were recruiting disciples for Yuding Palace, they not only had extremely high requirements for aptitude, but also had certain requirements for appearance and temperament.

Simply put, we don’t accept ugly ones.

He, Miao Shen Ke, was handsome and elegant in his youth, and extremely romantic. Now, at the age of over 600, he is still quite charming.

The kid Zhang Jiuyang meets the requirements of Yuding Palace very well. Although his appearance is not as good as it was back then, he is still among the best in Yuding Palace.

As for this Tantric monk, it’s hard to describe him in a few words…

"Beauty and ugliness are all obsessions. Beauty and bones turn into nothingness in an instant. I didn't expect that even a master like you couldn't see through it."

The two-faced Buddha sighed and tried hard to delay time, but the magic power in his body was quietly running.

Suddenly, his broken arm bulged with flesh and blood, and after a few breaths, another arm grew out, but the skin was somewhat transparent, and the veins and blood vessels were clearly visible.

"The Lotus Flesh and Blood method of Tantric Buddhism is boring. After so many years, your Nalanda Temple's magic has not improved at all."

Miao Shenke did not try to stop it, or rather, he simply did not bother to stop it.

Because he is not an incarnation made of hair, but his real body, the real body that Ali invited from the underworld.

This junior fellow apprentice Zhang Jiuyang really never gives him a moment's rest and is not polite to him at all.

But since he is the senior brother, it is normal for him to be tired.

"You are so familiar with Nalanda Monastery, do you know Venerable Gesang?"

Venerable Gesang is the contemporary abbot of Nalanda Monastery and also his former master. It is unknown how long he has lived, but his cultivation is unfathomable.

“Kelsang Gyatso?”

Miao Shenke was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously.

The two-faced Buddha nodded and said, "Yes, it is my master. For my master's sake, can you please let me go?"

Miao Shenke showed a trace of emotion in his eyes, and said: "I didn't expect that the little monk back then has now become someone else's master and a venerable."

"To be able to live this long, little Gesang is more capable than Venerable Chenglie. He is even better than his master."

In those days, Miao Shenke loved traveling around the world. Hearing that Nalanda Temple had great magical powers, he went there specifically to look for it. Later, he met the abbot at that time, Venerable Chenglie, and they became friends.

Gesang Gyatso was the last disciple of Venerable Chenglie. Back then, he was just a little kid who was responsible for making tea for him.

When the Two-Faced Buddha heard this, he was stunned and stared at Miao Shenke with a look of shock.

This old Taoist priest actually called Venerable Gesang "Little Gesang"?
And judging from his tone, he seemed to be of the same generation as Venerable Chenglie, the master of Venerable Gesang and also his great-grandmaster.

But Venerable Chenglie was already a very old man in the early years of the Daqian period!

Could it be that this person in front of me has lived for more than six hundred years?
It's no wonder that the Two-Faced Buddha was surprised. Normally, it's difficult for a monk to live so long, unless he uses some special means. For example, his master, Venerable Gesang, used the method of sky burial to prolong his life.

He usually falls into a state equivalent to death in order to delay aging and deceive the Eternal Heaven. He wakes up only once every sixty years, repeating this cycle over and over again, and is the only way he has managed to hold out for so long.

But even so, during the time he followed his master to practice, he could clearly feel that the aura of decay on his master was getting worse.

It's like a piece of rotten wood that has been eaten away.

But the old Taoist priest in front of him was completely different. Although he looked to be in his seventies or eighties, he had a ruddy complexion, was full of energy, and looked energetic. Compared with his master, he was completely two extremes.

"Who exactly is this senior? Six hundred years ago, the number one person in Taoism should be Zhuge Qixing. Could it be that you are..."

Miao Shenke was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed at himself.

As expected, people will only remember the best in the world, but not the second best.

Six hundred years ago, the number one person in Taoism was Zhuge Qixing, and he was ranked second. Although there was only one difference, the difference was huge. Now no one has heard of his name.

Thinking of this, Miao Shenke suddenly became a little angry.

It would have been fine if I was suppressed by that guy six hundred years ago, but why would I be suppressed again six hundred years later? Zhuge Qixing is really a ghost that lingers around!

When you are angry, you naturally want to find someone to vent it on.

He looked at this ugly monk who had never heard of his reputation, with cold eyes.

"Ugly monk, have you practiced the Eight-Armed Mahakala Sutra?"

"Amitabha, I am not very talented, but I have practiced for some time."

The Two-Faced Buddha felt a little depressed in his heart as he sensed a dangerous aura. This old Taoist priest was familiar with all the unique skills of Nalanda Temple, and the situation became even more unfavorable for him.

"Hehe, it's good to have practiced it. Among the many methods of your Nalanda Temple, this is the most enjoyable and can satisfy my desire."

The two-faced Buddha's expression became extremely solemn.

"Senior, is it necessary to fight?"

Miao Shenke grinned and said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't beat you to death. After all, this is the first time that Junior Brother asked me for help. He said that if he captured you alive, you wouldn't die."

The Two-Faced Buddha wanted to say something, but Miao Shenke had already taken action.

Boom!

His body rose from the ground, and his bones and muscles made crackling sounds, as if a giant spirit had descended to the earth, especially his pair of large hands like a palm-leaf fan, which seemed to be able to hold the entire world in his palms.

The earth was shaking, injecting endless divine power into Miao Shenke's body, making his entire body covered with a faint dark yellow light.

This is to integrate the big and small Ruyi with the earth escape technique, making it more powerful, domineering and heavy.

Instantly, the two-faced Buddha sensed great danger and without hesitation activated the Dharma image of Mahakala, which was also his most powerful magical power. The Dharma image of Mahakala appeared, roaring endlessly, and greeted with a slap in the face with the anger of a demon.

boom! ! !
It was like a thunder in the sky that ignited a fire in the earth. The image of Mahakala that had just taken shape was shattered by a slap, and the body of the Two-Faced Buddha was knocked out of the house like a cannonball.

Even the Golden Gate and Jade Lock Formation could not withstand Miao Shenke's violent attack.

The body of the two-faced Buddha was buried in countless rubble, his bones were broken inch by inch, cracks appeared on every inch of his skin, and blood beads kept rolling out.

Even his primordial spirit, which he was so proud of, was a little dazed at this moment. He felt dizzy and seeing stars in his eyes in the Niwan Palace.

If he had not mastered several unique martial arts and had not been born with an amazing physique, this palm would probably be enough to take his life.

The seventh realm... no, even the eighth realm!

"died?"

Miao Shenke gasped and became a little panicked. Did he hit too hard with that palm?

Fortunately, the next moment, the two-faced Buddha slowly stood up again. Although all his bones were broken, he emitted a strange bloody glow, and then his flesh and bones spontaneously squirmed, the broken bones were reconnected, and the wounds scabbed over.

"Too weak, too weak."

"It's not satisfying at all. In fact, you are no worse than Cheng Lie back then. You may even be more talented than him. Alas, I have become stronger."

Miao Shen Ke finally realized that after he re-cultivated his profound skills and achieved perfection in the eighth realm, there would probably be few people in this world who could fight him for a few rounds, let alone three hundred rounds.

He sighed softly, and suddenly felt a little bored. He had wanted to have a good time before, but now it seemed that he should end it quickly.

He made a mysterious hand seal again, and then stretched out his hand to grab the empty air.

Boom!

The sky seemed to collapse, and a huge palm formed by the condensation of pure air fell from the sky, covering the sky and the sun. The texture of the skin was clearly visible, exuding a mysterious Taoist charm, and blocking out the moonlight.

The 36 Jade Ding Techniques - the Great Capture of the Innate Qi!

This magical power was created by the Immortal Master Guiguzi, and ranks third among the Thirty-Six Methods. It is said that his original purpose was to pick the stars and the moon, but he eventually found it difficult to do so, so he had to settle for the next best thing and turned it into a capture technique.

Although he cannot pick stars or grab the moon, in Miao Shenke's hands, capturing dragons and controlling cranes is a piece of cake. If caught by this technique, even a real dragon will turn into a loach.

The two-faced Buddha looked at the giant hand that fell from the sky like a god, and had only one thought in his mind, which was to escape!
But when he tried to perform the escape technique, he was horrified to find that the void around him seemed to be locked and all the escape techniques were ineffective.

To capture is not only to capture a person, but also a world.

This is also the power of the Xiantian Yiqi Great Capturing. Once it is performed successfully, it will seal the sky and lock the earth and cut off the sun and the moon. No matter how powerful your escape technique is, you can't use it and can only be tied up.

The two-faced Buddha already knows his situation. He can't escape, so he can only fight to the death!
An astonishing murderous aura burst out from the pupils between his brows. He put his palms together and chanted the Avalokitesvara Daluo mantra, but not to his enemy, but to himself.

He knew very well that no matter how powerful Avalokitesvara's Daluo Mantra was, it could never affect a powerful Yangshen in the eighth realm. It was like an ant trying to shake a tree or an ant hitting a mountain.

But he can use it on himself, stimulate all his potential through the Avalokitesvara Daluo Mantra, break the fear of death, and thus burst out the strongest combat power in a short period of time.

The effect was amazing, the Two-Faced Buddha's momentum continued to soar, the magic power in his body was burning like flames, and his spirit reached its peak.

In the dark night, a more powerful image of Mahakala suddenly appeared, changing from two arms to four arms, and then to six arms.

The highest state in the "Eight-Armed Mahakala Sutra" is called "Killing Tathagata", which means that the Dharma image gives birth to eight arms, showing the full appearance of Mahakala Buddha.

In the view of Tantric Buddhists, this means that Vairocana Tathagata's demon-subduing fire has burned to its extreme, and no demon can withstand the thunderous wrath of the Killing Tathagata.

However, the eight-armed Krishna is too ferocious and is therefore regarded as a blasphemy against the Buddha. Therefore, the statues of Mahakala worshipped in Tantric Buddhism have at most six arms, not eight.

Although there is a saying that the highest level of the fighting skills of Nalanda Temple is eight arms, no one has ever reached it. In other words, the six-armed form of the Two-Faced Buddha is already the pinnacle.

Roar!
The six-armed Mahakala is fully revealed. His body is blue, and he is wearing tiger skin. He has a large rosary with fifty human skulls around his neck, a five-skull crown, dragons and snakes entwined around his body, and each of his six arms holds a magical weapon. He is extremely powerful and his murderous aura reaches the sky.

Boom!

The six arms of the Dharmakāya simultaneously supported the huge hand that fell from the sky. The ground beneath his feet cracked and his three heads roared like thunder at the same time.

The innate Qi is grasped and there is a slight pause.

……

hum!
Inside the thatched cottage, the sound of a kettle boiling rang out, somewhat shrill, breaking the tranquility of the house.

"Mr. Meng, the water is boiling."

Zhang Jiuyang slowly opened his eyes, and the third eye between his eyebrows opened. He saw the three-headed and six-armed image of Mahakala in the distance, and the giant hand that fell from the sky.

As he inherited the Jade Tripod's heritage, he naturally recognized it at a glance. It was the Innate Qi Grasping Technique among the Thirty-Six Techniques. He watched it with great interest, with wisdom flashing in his eyes.

It can actually be used this way, you are worthy of being my senior brother!
An expert knows the ins and outs of things. This time, his senior brother's help really opened his eyes and benefited him a lot.

Sure enough, there is still a huge difference between truly integrating the thirty-six methods and cultivating them to perfection, and forcibly activating the power of Jade Ding Xuan Gong.

Mr. Meng ignored the boiling kettle and stared at the fight in the distance.

In fact, Miao Shen Ke also cast a spell to cover up the huge noise during the fight, but they were all people with profound cultivation and could still see it.

Under the moonlight, the six-armed Mahakala statue was extremely powerful and managed to block the attack for a moment, but in the end it was unable to resist the absolute suppression of power.

The Dharma image began to collapse continuously and was defeated again.

This was an absolute crushing of the Eighth Realm over the Sixth Realm. Moreover, after re-cultivating the Jade Ding Mysterious Art, Miao Shen Ke had regained consciousness. He was no longer confused and crazy. He was proficient in many magical powers of the Jade Ding Palace and had rich experience in fighting.

It would be a miracle if the two-faced Buddha could block it.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the six-armed image of Mahakala completely dissipated, and the giant hand completely submerged the two-faced Buddha, and everything was settled.

Zhang Jiuyang breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was the right decision to ask Ali to ask his senior brother to attack in person. A lion must use all its strength to fight a rabbit. The old fox, Two-Faced Buddha, was too cunning, and he escaped several times.

Let’s see how he can escape this time.
"Mr. Meng, you have failed, and the Black Sky Plan has also failed."

Zhang Jiuyang looked at him who seemed a little dazed, and took the initiative to pick up the kettle and make him a cup of tea.

"This road is blocked, it's a dead end. So now..."

Zhang Jiuyang pushed the tea to him and said with a smile, "Would you like to try another way with me?"
