I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 119: Changes in Heaven's Secret
"Is this... the Buddha's Crown Vajra Dharani Sutra?"

Seeing this scene, Zhu Chengxi's round little face showed a slight surprise, but it only stayed for a short time, and then turned into teasing and mocking:
"Although the magic weapon is good, you are just a monk in the 'Vajra Realm'. You should also consider whether you are worthy of using it..."

As he spoke, he raised his chubby little hand and snapped his fingers gently.

With a crisp "pop" sound, the ground suddenly cracked and countless zombies swarmed out.

Their shapes were distorted, their bodies were covered with rotten wounds, and they emitted creepy growls.

Each corpse's eye sockets were sunken, flashing with the light of a hungry wolf, and its claws were like sharp blades, covered in mud and blood.

With the ground shaking, they rushed forward frantically, like a legion from the abyss of hell, bringing endless fear and despair.

Monk Fahui, who was trying hard to make a hand seal, suddenly shouted loudly:
"I have opened the Buddhist world. Donor Li, Captain Ai, you can't leave now. Please help me for the sake of the people of Bianliang. As long as I don't die within this stick of incense, I will be able to kill this evil demon with the power of the Buddha treasure!"

Since Zhu Chengxi had just promised not to kill Li Qingyun and Ai Hu, Fahui was afraid that the two would flee in the face of danger, causing her to lose her helpers, so she continued to add:
"This evil spirit can command an army of corpses. He is already the fourth level of the demonic path, the 'Dark Night Spirit', and he only needs the last step of the ritual to be promoted to the fifth level, the 'Apostle of Doom'. If he succeeds, even my master, Master Liaoran, will be unable to do anything to him.

"Donor Li, I advise you not to believe his sweet words. You know so many of his secrets. This evil demon will not let you go!

"Moreover, the Buddhist world has been opened, and you are trapped here. Only by killing the evil spirit can we have a way out."

Although Li Qingyun is a gangster and usually doesn't care about details, and is even a bit cynical and casual because of his two lives, he is always full of a strong sense of responsibility and justice when necessary.

After witnessing the tragic plight of the Zhu family, when he faced Zhu Chengxi, who seemed innocent but was as evil as a devil at heart, the anger in his chest had already burned like a raging flame.

Even though the other party repeatedly said that he would let him go as long as he pulled himself out, Li Qingyun never thought of taking a step back.

The precious sword in his hand, Poxie, was also trembling slightly, as if it felt the anger and determination of its master, and it emitted a low humming sound, like a roar before a battle.

But Li Qingyun was not a saint. He looked at Fahui coldly and was very dissatisfied with the stupid monk who forced him into the water. He temporarily made a note of this account in his heart and would settle the details with him later.

Zhu Chengxi gently waved his hand, instructing the army of corpse ghosts to bypass Li Qingyun and Ai Hu and rush towards Fahui, while saying:
"Brother Li, I still say the same thing. This matter has nothing to do with you. As long as you don't take action, I promise that I won't do anything to you and Ai Hu. For me, the lives of those two monks are enough."

Ai Hu held up the knife and asked from behind Li Qingyun:
"Qingyun, what should we do?"

Li Qingyun sneered:
"What should we do? Of course we should kill these evil demons! Have you forgotten that we are the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture?"

As he spoke, he swung his sword. The sharp sword energy was like the wrath of thunder, tearing a corpse ghost that pounced on Fahui into countless pieces.

Ai Hu was a little scared at first, but when he saw how brave Li Qingyun was, his blood boiled in his chest. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind to rush towards the army of zombies.

Zhu Chengxi shook his head when he saw this:
"Brother Li, since you don't listen to my advice, you can't blame me. You all should stay here today!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed. The ground cracked again, and more zombies poured out like a tide. They changed direction and targeted Li Qingyun and Ai Hu as well.

Each corpse ghost has the strength of the third realm, which is the ability of the fourth realm of the demon path, "Dark Night Spirit". It will always fight with the legion. When fighting alone, other cultivators of the same realm can rarely compete with it.

Ai Hu chopped down several corpse ghosts and could only barely protect himself, and he was already feeling a little tired. Seeing more corpse ghosts rushing towards Fahui and only Li Qingyun struggling to resist, he couldn't help feeling a little desperate.

No matter how powerful Li Qingyun is, he is only a warrior of the third realm. Their only chance of winning lies in the magic weapon "Buddha's Crowned Victory Dharani Sutra" in Fahui's hand.

If they cannot hold out for this period of time and let the corpse ghosts attack Fahui, all their previous efforts will be wasted and everyone will be exhausted of their true energy by the endless corpse ghosts and die here.

Ai Hu had never felt that the time of a stick of incense was so long. He was extremely anxious, but helpless.

At this moment, Li Qingyun suddenly bent down, grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground, and threw it at the zombies.

Everyone present was shocked by this strange behavior. The corpse ghost's body is hard and has a strong recovery ability. Not to mention being hit by mud, even if it is injured by a sword, as long as the head is not broken, it will not be fatal.

Zhu Chengxi clapped his hands and laughed, as if mocking Li Qingyun for being at his wit's end and desperately trying all sorts of methods. He said in an innocent yet alluring voice:

"Brother Li, why are you doing this? If you stop now, I can still spare your life. How about that?"

When Fahui saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh. He thought that Li Qingyun had exhausted all his strength and had no strength left, so he could only fight like a trapped beast in this way.

But the next moment, a large number of zombies stuck in the mud suddenly fell to the ground inexplicably. They were either tripped by stones on the ground or accidentally bumped into their companions. They showed all kinds of strange and inexplicable reactions.

This scene is as if they are suddenly plagued by bad luck and possessed, trapped in the curse of fate, and it is difficult for them to succeed in anything they do.

The magical power of the "manipulator" can change the destiny!

Facing the army of zombies, even though Li Qingyun had plenty of energy and blood to protect himself, he couldn't help feeling powerless and exhausted.

This made him feel more and more that he lacked a martial art that could attack on a large scale.

Although the Heavenly Thunder Demon can attack multiple enemies at the same time, its lethality is limited. It cannot kill the third-level corpse ghost with one blow, and the effect is not ideal.

In a hurry, he directly used the magical power of "Heaven's Secret Change" to transform the little power of destiny he had just accumulated today into bad luck. He used the Changle Gang's "Flower Rain" technique to hit the earth and accurately hit a large number of corpses and ghosts. It really worked in one fell swoop.

The reason for using mud is that conveying bad luck requires symbolic contact, and he has no hidden weapons that can attack a large area, so he can only use local materials.

This magical and strange scene made Li Qingyun feel as if he was holding an invisible thread of fate in his hand, easily "manipulating" the fate of those corpse ghosts and making them develop in a direction that was beneficial to him.

No wonder the third-order agents are called "manipulators"!
Is this what it feels like to interfere with fate and control other people?

For the first time since crossing over, Li Qingyun felt the pleasure of controlling everything, as if he was the master of this world, with endless power and authority. Seeing others change their fate because of his decisions, he experienced an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. Looking at the large number of corpse ghosts falling down like wheat, not only the experienced monk Fahui, but also Zhu Chengxi, who controlled the army of corpse ghosts, was shocked.

But no matter how he activated the magic spell, he could not stop the corpse ghosts from making all kinds of inexplicable mistakes. Some of them stumbled, some lost their direction and ran around like headless flies, and some even developed a will to resist and stopped to think about their ghost life, but they could not get to Monk Fahui no matter what.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Qingyun and Ai Hu activated their sword energy, killing large numbers of zombies and resolving the crisis in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Chengxi stretched out his hand and pointed. Suddenly, countless branches and vines covered with slime grew out of the cracked ground. They were covered with giant pink flowers with teeth, and they coiled around Li Qingyun and the others.

These branches have the same origin as the giant tree that Madam Zhu transformed into just now, and their attacks are exactly the same, but they are not the means of the devil.

Li Qingyun guessed that this was most likely some kind of gift that Zhu Chengxi received from the "Mother of Heaven", similar to his magical powers as the god's agent.

Although these attacks do not seem as massive as those of the zombie army, they are more dangerous.

With the previous experience of Monk Facheng as a lesson, Li Qingyun did not want to be involved in all kinds of strange things, be disemboweled, and have babies crawl out of his stomach one after another.

Thinking of this, he jumped up, swung the sword in his hand, and brought up a large amount of heavenly thunder, burning all the growing branches on the ground.

But those strange pink flowers were extremely tenacious and continued to pop up from the ground, making them impossible to kill.

Li Qingyun frowned in mid-air. He had already played all his cards, but facing Zhu Chengxi's various strange methods, he still felt powerless.

The power of destiny accumulated in his body has been used up, not to mention that the magical power of fate such as "Heaven's Secret Change" is greatly reduced in effect on plants such as branches and vines.

Not only that, the corpses that were affected by the magical powers have also escaped the curse of bad luck as the power of destiny has gradually dissipated. They have regrouped and continued to launch attacks.

Just when Li Qingyun was at a loss, Monk Fahui suddenly roared, and the runes circulating around his body immediately shone brightly.

The scroll of "The Sutra of the Buddha's Crowned Victory Dharani" in his hand exuded a soft and sacred light, as if it contained endless wisdom and power.

This Buddhist magic weapon has been activated!
It was not known whether it was to mislead Zhu Chengxi, or whether Monk Fahui suddenly used some secret technique to burst out with stronger power. At this time, it was still far from the agreed time of one stick of incense before the battle began.

In an instant, the entire courtyard seemed to be shrouded in a solemn atmosphere. An ancient swastika symbol flashed with golden light, like the light of the sun breaking through the clouds, rising to the sky, dispelling the darkness and illuminating every corner.

The next moment, a mysterious and strange power surged into the center of the swastika like a tide, and was absorbed and transformed by it, forming golden beams of light, which contained infinite Buddhist mysteries and had the power to purify all evil spirits. Wherever it went, all evil spirits disappeared.

Be it the hordes of zombies or the tangled vines, they have nowhere to hide under this golden and holy light and are instantly purified into ashes.

Under the tremendous power of the Buddhist treasure, Li Qingyun suddenly felt an inexplicable calmness and peace, as if his soul had been cleansed, and all his worries and pains dissipated. He inexplicably had a desire to worship the Pure Land and convert to Buddhism.

He was shocked that this Buddhist treasure actually had the ability to reshape will and change the beliefs of the surrounding creatures!
My buddy doesn't want to become a monk yet...

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Li Qingyun's eyes suddenly blurred and he found himself in that mysterious and magnificent huge palace. The gray-white mist around him flowed as if it had never changed. His heart had become clear again, and all the inexplicable throbbing of wanting to worship Buddhism had disappeared.

Fortunately, Fahui, this bald monk with green balls, actually concealed such an important side effect and almost converted my buddy into a Buddhist believer.

If it weren't for the blessing of that secret god, I might not be able to eat meat tomorrow...

Li Qingyun once again made a big note for Fahui in the little account book in his heart, and secretly said that he would get revenge sooner or later.

After a moment, the light dissipated, and the Zhu family mansion, which was originally pitch black, suddenly became bright and clear again.

All the zombies, strange plants and the weird baby disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

Li Qingyun looked around but did not find Zhu Chengxi, and was quite confused.

Was this little devil purified, or did he find a chance to escape?
Li Qingyun wanted to ask Fahui, but found that the monk had collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, and his life or death was unknown.

He was already exhausted, and he used the power of the fourth realm to forcefully drive the Buddha treasure, which made him run out of energy and fall into a coma.

However, the magic weapon, the Buddha's Crown Dharani Sutra, was still held in his hand. The Buddha's light appeared and disappeared, extremely dim, like a tiny firefly, flickering a few times and then disappearing.

The next moment, some invisible barrier suddenly disappeared, and Li Qingyun saw Xu Liang, Bai Yunrui and Ouyang Chun not far away...

……

Southern Ya Kaifeng Prefecture.

Bao Zheng, the prefect of Kaifeng and a scholar of Longtu Pavilion, was sitting behind a large desk, reviewing official documents with a pen.

He was wearing official uniform and a black gauze hat. The afternoon sun from outside shone through the paper window and reflected on his slightly dark face, making him look particularly solemn and majestic.

The chief clerk Gongsun Ce and the Southern Hero Zhan Zhao served on his left and right, quietly awaiting his instructions, not daring to make any noise for fear of disturbing his thoughts.

Suddenly, Bao Zheng felt something in his heart. He looked up abruptly, and gently waved his right hand holding the pen. A few ink dots were scattered in the air. Under the impetus of the brilliant gentleman's righteousness, they condensed into an invisible barrier that protected him.

The next moment, waves of cold murderous aura filled the air, and several crossbow arrows flew through the air, flashing with cold light, heading straight for his face...
