I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 251 Karma! (Subscribe)
"This...here, the Buddhist temple?"

Wen Renying was also dumbfounded. She stared blankly at the so-called Tianzi Prison Tower in front of her and could not connect it with the word "Tianlao" at all.

Behind the long red stairs that were the same as the ones in the Dizi Prison Tower, there was a huge corridor that stretched for hundreds of meters.

There are two stone pillars on each side that rise into the darkness, as if supporting the dome above, or like dividing lines between the three huge Buddha statues on both sides.

That’s right, there are six Buddha statues with different expressions and shapes. They are like barbarian kings, with their heads slightly lowered, as if watching the travelers passing by below.

At the deepest part of the corridor, Wen Renying also saw an even more magnificent Buddha statue, which was dozens of feet tall and shining with golden light all over.

That Buddha statue was different from the one in Dakong Temple. It had three faces - joy, anger and calmness, and eight arms, each holding a weapon like a ferocious beast.

The entire golden Buddha statue sat upright on a lotus platform, looking straight at Chen Yi and others.

"This is the first time I have seen such a terrifying Buddha statue. Is it really a Buddhist legacy?"

Chen Yi looked straight at the Buddha statue, as if he had thought of something.

The deputy general at the side did not raise his head to take a closer look. He kept his head down since he came in and replied:
"The Three-Faced Buddha is a figure in the Western Buddhist Kingdom who is second only to Sakyamuni Buddha. However, after it was passed down to our Wei Dynasty, its name became the Eight-Armed Arhat!"

Wen Renying took a deep look at it and murmured, "It doesn't look like a kind Buddha."

"It is indeed not the case. I have heard the prison boss talk about it before," the deputy general still lowered his head and replied:

"The Three-Faced Buddha is not famous for his Buddhist teachings in the Western Buddhist country, but he is the master of Buddhist practices. He is known for practicing for three lifetimes, namely the past, future and present. His merits and virtues are unmatched even by Sakyamuni Buddha."

"But the jailer also said that what the Three-Faced Buddha cultivates is not merit and vows, but 'karma'!"

"'Karma'?" Wen Renying looked at him suspiciously: "Is this a Buddhist technique?"

"I don't know," the deputy general shook his head and said, "The jailer didn't explain it clearly. I only know that 'karma' is the opposite of merit and virtue, and it is 'karmic entanglement'."

Chen Yi looked at the Buddhist temple in front of him, as if he had come to the land of southern barbarians, everything was too huge.

He was not used to looking up.

"Where is the abbot?"

Chen Yi's sword perception enveloped the Buddhist temple, but he realized that this place had been covered by the merits and vows of Buddhism, making it difficult for him to see clearly.

The deputy general was stunned for a moment, looked around, and said hesitantly: "Usually he is beating the wooden fish under the Buddha statue..."

Following the direction of his finger, Chen Yi looked towards the three-faced Buddha in the depths.

Click.

Chen Yi flicked his finger and the sword at his waist was released, slashing across with great brilliance.

The dazzling silver-white light flashed across the six Buddha statues on both sides in the blink of an eye, and went straight to the three-faced Buddha in the depths.

Just then.

The entire Buddhist temple seemed to be inspired by the sword, and suddenly a golden light shone brightly, and a majestic Buddhist chant was heard.

"Well!"

The next moment, the three faces of the Three-Faced Buddha opened their lips, and six golden eyes showed some spirit, looking at Chen Yi and others.

At the same time, the eight arms on his sides danced in circles twice, and the weapons in their hands were raised. The mace, halberd, axe, staff, stick, and cattail fan burst out with Buddha's light and power to resist the murderous sword intent.

Keng!
Keng!
A shrill hissing sounded!

When the sword intent collided with the power of merit and vows, the aftermath of the shock wave blew away the Buddha statue that was cut in half, and it smashed onto the stone slab along with four huge stone pillars.

Immediately afterwards, waves of sounds of metal and stone shattering echoed in the Buddhist temple.

"Amitabha!"

"Donor, such a strong murderous aura!"

Chen Yi stared at the three-faced Buddha in the depths and said calmly, "King Kong?"

"King Kong is dead. My Buddhist name is 'Dakong'!"

A majestic voice was heard, and its echo lingered in the empty Buddhist hall.

Then, a figure appeared under the Three-Faced Buddha, wearing a gold and red cassock, with a stunning figure, skin as white as jade, a tear mark between his brows, and narrow, bright eyes, making it impossible to tell that he was a monk from hundreds of years ago.

"This donor, I am honored."

"Dakong..." Chen Yi looked at the monk.

For some reason, this monk who called himself "Dakong" gave him a very strange feeling.

She was clearly standing right in front of him, but it gave him a very unreal feeling, as if she was in another world.

After thinking about it, Chen Yi put on the "Mask of Delusion-Breaking" again.

This time he did not change his body shape or appearance, but only used the power of "breaking delusion" to investigate the monk and the three-faced Buddha behind him.

[At the age of 46, you have already reached the first level of the Void Realm. You use the "Mask of Delusion Breaking" to see through the "karmic body" of the Golden Body Arhat! ]

【Counterattack point +1.】

[Body of Karma: The "Three-Faced Buddha", the leader of the ten evil monks in the ancient Buddhist country, practices Buddhism - "Red Lotus Karma Sutra", which can use "karma" to create a Dharma body! ]

The body of karma?

Chen Yi's eyes were shining with golden light. He saw through the monk's illusion. It was not until he saw the three-faced Buddha behind him that he understood something.

"So the 'Three-Faced Buddha' is your body, Master Dakong?"

The monk with the jade-like face paused, and the eyes that looked at him were no longer as calm and peaceful as before. His expression was no longer calm, but turned into a hideous and angry face in an instant.

"Donor, you are obsessed!"

Chen Yi's eyes were slightly cold, "Playing tricks."

This time he raided the Heavenly Prison, originally intending to investigate whether there was any plan of "Ji Jing Tian" here, but because of what the Great Master did to the Third Master, the people of "Ji Jing Tian" became alert.

Fortunately, he did gain something in this prison, otherwise his attack this time would have been a failure.

Without waiting for the monk to continue speaking, Chen Yi turned his head to look at Wen Renying and the deputy general and ordered:

"Go wait for me outside. If anyone comes here later, just tell them the truth."

Wenren Ying hesitated for a moment, whispered a reminder to "Sir, be careful", and then turned around and left the Tianzi Prison Tower with the deputy general.

However, the "witch" was still a little worried. After signaling the deputy general to wait outside, she carefully stood at the door and peeked in from afar.

"When the prison boss arrives later, stop him."

"Yes."

The deputy general bowed and accepted the order, then stood outside the Tianzi prison tower faithfully, like a door god.

Chen Yi ignored the two people behind him. He took a step forward and came straight to the Three-Faced Buddha. He stepped on the void and the long sword in his hand had not been sheathed, as if he was ready to attack if there was any disagreement.

When the monk saw his actions, his anger intensified, and he said in a stern tone: "Donor, you have crossed the line!"

“If you don’t want to die, then change your face and come before me!” Chen Yi stood in the air, the indifference in his eyes almost becoming real.

The monk's face was angry for a moment, and he looked at Chen Yi for a few seconds, then his face turned into a smile in an instant:
"I don't know your name? And which descendant of Wu Hou is he? I..."

Before he could finish, Chen Yi swung the sword in his hand and the murderous sword intent slashed out again.

This time it was no longer as casual as before, the sword intent was faintly like the roar of a tiger.

A flash of silver appeared in the monk's eyes, and before he could react, the three-faced Buddha behind him shone with golden light, and an arm holding a golden mace suddenly stretched out, blocking the sword intent.

Keng!
Hiss—a piercing hiss cuts through the ears!

Then I saw that the golden arm was actually cut off by the sword intent, and fell on the lotus platform with a clang!

Chen Yi pointed his sword directly at the monk Dakong: "After wasting hundreds of years, you don't want to end up dead, do you?"

He was too lazy to answer the monk's question, it would be faster to kill with a sword.

Even though this monk named "Dakong" was the first abbot of Dakong Temple, he was also the former King Kong of the Wei Dynasty royal family.

The monk looked at him, his lips slightly parted, wanting to say something but not knowing how.

A moment of silence.

"I don't know what you want to ask, I will tell you everything I know."

Chen Yi looked at him, thought for a moment, and then drew the "Eagle" character in the air with the long sword in his hand and asked, "Do you know it?"

Monk Dakong looked at it carefully for a few times and shook his head: "I have never seen such magical power."

"Magic power? Do you know that it represents the power of magic?" Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

“I am sure I have never seen it before, but the moment I saw it, I knew it was the divine will of the supernatural power.”

Dakong put his hands together and said sincerely: "This is the power of the Dharma that I have practiced. I hope you can understand it."

Chen Yi stared at him for a while, then continued to ask: "Have you ever heard of 'Jijingtian' or 'Ji Le Pure Land'?"

Dakong recalled for a moment and nodded, "I have only heard of the 'paradise', perhaps it is the 'pure land of bliss' mentioned by the donor."

Chen Yi looked at him without comment, his eyes becoming increasingly cold, he said nothing but his power was astonishing.

"Donor, monks do not tell lies, everything I say is true!"

"With your cultivation level, you must have noticed everything that happened in the Di-shaped prison building earlier, right?" Chen Yi sneered.

"That person hid in the prison with great deliberate intentions. He wanted to target no one but you!"

"If you don't tell the truth again, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"

He really wanted to kill the monk.

Even though he didn't know what the people from "Jijingtian" were planning towards the monk, a dead person would never be of any value.

Dakong was helpless.

He had been in this prison for nearly two hundred years, and this was the first time he had seen such an unreasonable person.

Think for a moment.

Dakong pondered and said, "I am indeed aware of the changes in the upper prison building, but I don't know what he is planning for me...why don't you tell me what happened in the outside world recently?"

Chen Yi looked at him deeply, and immediately told him about the recent changes in Buddhism and what Wen Renying had said.

"The grand event is coming. Monks from the Western Buddhist Kingdom and the Wei Dynasty will gather in Kyoto Prefecture. It is said that a national teacher with profound Buddhist knowledge will also come from the Western Buddhist Kingdom."

"A grand gathering of monks in the Buddhist country of Western Continent..." Dakong's expression changed slightly, and he frowned.

"Does the Dakong Temple have a 'Buddha' now?"

"Have!"

Dakong nodded slightly, and the three-faced Buddha behind him turned his head a few times and looked at Chen Yi with a calm face.

The surrounding Buddha light formed strands of silk threads that slowly entwined in the air to form a talisman, and traces of an "eagle" could be vaguely seen.

The next moment, Monk Dakong looked solemn, as if he had seen something incredible.

Chen Yi looked at him quietly, tightening the sword in his hand, and the divine power in his body was ready to go.

After a long time.

Dakong exhaled, and with a hint of compassion in his eyes, he chanted a Buddhist name:
"Amitabha."

"I have seen the 'bliss'."

"So they are the 'Pure Heaven' that the donor mentioned. I now understand everything."

As his calm voice rang out, the arm of the three-faced Buddha behind him that had fallen on the lotus platform suddenly recovered and began to dance slowly.

The entire Buddha statue seemed to come alive, stretching out its two arms to hold the monk Dakong in its hands. The faces of the two monks, one large and one small, all showed compassion and said:

"Please wait patiently, this is a long story, I will tell you in detail."

Without waiting for Chen Yi to speak, he slowly crossed his legs and sat at the feet of the Three-Faced Buddha. The traces of tears between his eyebrows vaguely showed a little Buddha light, and he continued:
"In the past, when I was still King Kong, the seventeen prefectures in the Great Wei were plagued by disasters, such as drought, flood, and famine."

"In just three years, there were nearly one million casualties. My brother and I were very worried. Even if we asked the Taoists and Confucianists to help, it was useless." "Later, several ministers in the court reported that the Confucianists and Taoists were useless and watched the people in chaos in an attempt to overthrow the orthodoxy of the Wei Dynasty."

"This kind of argument has been a source of confusion for a long time. Not only the court, but also the people of the seventeen states have heard it."

"After a while, my brother heard from somewhere that the Buddhist country in the West might be able to save the people from disaster, so he discussed with me about traveling west..."

Chen Yi did not interrupt again and listened to him telling the history calmly.

Obviously, the monk Dakong must have seen something just now, which might be related to the plan of "Extremely Pure Heaven".

"I spent three years traveling to various Buddhist temples, copying thousands of Buddhist scriptures before returning to found Dakong Temple."

"I don't know if it's because of my power of wish that moved heaven and earth, but since the birth of Dakong Temple, there has been no disaster in the Wei Dynasty."

"Now that I think about it, all of this was planned by the people of 'Extremely Pure Heaven'. Their goal was to lead the Buddhist country to the east."

Monk Dakong paused, sighed and said, "Do you know why I am in this prison?"

"It's because of 'Buddha'!"

The first Buddhist disciple of Dakong Temple was his descendant.

After the Dakong Temple was born, the Buddhist disciple began to spread Buddhism throughout the Wei Dynasty, and Buddhist temples were built one after another.

By the time of his death, there were Buddhist temples near all the famous mountains and holy sites in the 17 prefectures of the Wei Dynasty, almost twice as many as those of Confucianism and Taoism.

At that time, Dakong sensed something strange about Buddhism, and vaguely realized that Buddhism was no longer under his control, but was controlled by "Buddha's sons".

It happened that his elder brother, the Emperor Wei, was about to pass away, so he discussed with his brother and sealed himself in the Heavenly Prison, announcing to the outside world that he had passed away.

This was done in order to prevent him and the "Buddha's disciples" from being alive, and to reduce the influence of Buddhism in the Wei Dynasty.

"Now it seems that I have both succeeded and failed."

"Alas, there have been one Buddha, two Buddhas, and now there is a third one. This is the cycle of cause and effect."

"Their plan is to make Buddhism flourish?" Chen Yi asked.

But this contradicts the information he had received earlier.

——If the people of "Jijingtian" wanted Buddhism to flourish, then why did Zhou Guanwu, as the leader of the Baishen Sect, join forces with evil demons to attack and kill the Buddhist geniuses?

"Yes and no!"

Monk Dakong said: "Their goal is not Buddhism, but the merits and wishes of the people of the Wei Dynasty."

"There are only tens of millions of people in the Western Buddhist Kingdom, and the population of the Wei Dynasty is dozens of times theirs. Only with such a large number of people can they gather the merits and wishes they want."

Chen Yi frowned: "What is their purpose?"

Monk Dakong shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly, I only know that the monks gathered in Kyoto this time, which means that there is a gathering of merit and vows."

"So they came to the prison to make arrangements for the sake of your merits and virtues?"

Chen Yi understood in his heart that this explanation could make sense.

He also recalled one thing - when he went deep into the Dakong Temple under the pseudonym "Lu Xiaofeng", he destroyed the long staircase of merit.

If you think about it carefully, the merits and wishes above have almost become reality. Perhaps this was also the plot of the people from "Extremely Pure Heaven", but he destroyed it by accident.

If this is the case... No wonder the powerful people from Buddhism and "Extremely Pure Heaven" would attack him later...

"That's true." Monk Dakong said bluntly, "The evil demon above is practicing the 'Swallowing Heaven Method', perhaps he wants to swallow up this poor monk's merits and vows and use them for other purposes."

Chen Yi looked at the young monk and said thoughtfully:

"They probably don't know that you have not only merits and virtues, but also 'karmic obstacles'."

Monk Dakong paused, looked at him with a slightly bitter look, lowered his head and chanted a Buddhist name:
"Amitabha, I cannot hide this from the benefactor's discerning eyes. I have indeed transformed my merits and wishes into 'karma'."

"Not cultivating merit and vows, not saving the world, but only cultivating cause and effect, looking at the past and the future, and achieving the status of 'Eight-Armed Arhat'."

"This is also the result of a discussion between me and my brother. If Buddhism flourishes in the future and wants to turn the Wei Dynasty into a second Buddhist country, I will come out of seclusion and use my own 'karma' to defile Buddhism!"

filthy……

Chen Yi looked at him deeply, his gaze falling on the three-faced Buddha behind him with a look of compassion.

Judging from the "karma" of this "Eight-Armed Arhat", it is simply wishful thinking to want to defile the merits and vows of Buddhism.

too weak!
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh," said the monk Dakong, who seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled bitterly.
"I am a poor monk with limited talent. Even if I practiced hard for hundreds of years, my cultivation level would only reach the Golden Body Realm, which is what the Jianghu people call the Heavenly Man Realm. I am afraid I am still far from being able to defame the merits of Buddhism."

Hearing this, Chen Yi smiled, sheathed his sword, and kindly encouraged:

"Everything depends on human effort. The old monk can continue to work hard."

He had no ill feelings towards Buddhism, but he definitely had no good feelings towards it either.

Whether Buddhism is flourishing or corrupt has no effect on him.

The only thing that concerned him was the plan of "Ji Jing Tian", and now he had obtained the final clue - merit and vows!
"One last question. If I want to clear all my merits and wishes, what method do I have?"

"Clear it up?" Monk Dakong pondered, "In my opinion, if someone with profound Buddhist knowledge swallows up those merits and vows, it may be able to destroy their plan."

"Swallow, absorb..."

Chen Yi nodded thoughtfully, and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

"Boss, you are here."

"Jingming, what happened? Why are all the prisoners in the Dizi Prison Building below empty? And here, is His Royal Highness Prince Kong okay?"

"Boss, your subordinate, your subordinate..."

Chen Yi looked back and bowed to the monk Dakong: "Thank you, Lord Kong, for telling me. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Monk Dakong also saw the person coming from outside and sighed softly.

"After wasting a hundred years, I am afraid I can no longer hide here."

"Forget it, forget it. I will leave with you now. Perhaps I can do my best to help at the event."

Chen Yi had no objection and nodded indifferently. He then moved to Wen Renying's side and looked at the person who came.

He saw a burly man in black armor. He was obviously stunned when he saw him appear.

"Lord Yingwuhou?"

Chen Yi nodded, pointed at the deputy general and replied: "Just ask him about the matters here."

The man was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the Tianzi Prison Tower behind him. When he saw the monk Dakong who had already captured the Eight-Armed Arhat:

"Your Highness Prince Kong, you, you are leaving too?"

Monk Dakong nodded and said with a smile: "Under the persuasion of this... Marquis Yingwu, I want to travel around."

The rough man's expression changed, and he looked at Chen Yi who had a calm expression and said:

"Please forgive me, my Lord. This matter is of great importance and I have made an inappropriate decision..."

"It has nothing to do with me."

Chen Yi only cared about killing and not burying. He gestured to Wenren Ying and walked out.

"I have finished my business here. Goodbye."

As if he was afraid of being entangled, without waiting for Wen Renying's response, Chen Yi pulled her and took a step, then used his magical power of "A World Away" to leave.

The three people in the prison were stunned when they saw this. They looked at each other, and the monk Dakong said in surprise:
"This Yingwu Marquis has mastered two magical powers at such a young age?"

"What two magical powers?" The burly man paused after hearing this, and his expression suddenly changed:

"Your Highness Prince Kong, are you saying that the movement used by Marquis Yingwu when he left just now was a magical power?"

Monk Dakong glanced at him, shook his head and said, "I was wrong."

"..."

Without waiting for the two Heavenly Prison Guards to continue asking questions, the monk Dakong continued:
"Let's go, take me to the Imperial City. Now that I have come out of seclusion, I naturally want to meet the current Emperor Wei."

The rough man had no choice but to suppress his doubts, planning to report to the Emperor when he saw him later.

"Your Highness, this way, please..."

……

Thousands of miles away, it was still in the cave outside Jeju Prefecture.

Chen Yi and Wenren Ying showed up.

Wenren Ying looked at the suddenly changing scene in front of her and felt that the noble families in Kyoto Prefecture that she had previously controlled were now far away and her mind was shaken.

"Sir, where is this?"

"Outside Jeju Prefecture."

Chen Yi replied, then walked out of the cave, looking towards the direction of Kyoto Prefecture and stood silently.

Wenren Ying was secretly shocked.

She was in Kyoto Prefecture just now, but now she is in Jeju Prefecture thousands of miles away. No wonder her charm cannot sense those children from noble families.

As she looked at the tall and straight Chen Yi, she admired him more and more, and dared not to have any thoughts of usurping the throne.

There was silence for a while, until the night got darker and it was midnight.

Chen Yi just said: "You don't need to go to Kyoto Prefecture anymore, find a place to hide first."

Wen Renying was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and immediately smiled and said, "I will listen to you, sir~"

If Chen Yi hadn't ordered her to do so, she would not have gone to Kyoto Prefecture.

Now that she knew that someone from "Ji Jing Tian" was hiding in the dark, as well as the Sect Master of Baishen Sect, Zhou Guanwu, and others, she didn't want to stay in such a dangerous place any longer.

"Does your Excellency have any other plans?"

Chen Yi said without turning his head, "I have already asked Sun Zhengqiu to investigate the Lu family in Jizhou Prefecture. It just so happens that you go to meet him. If the facts are confirmed, don't hold back on them."

He had not forgotten what he had heard before about the Lu family's overbearing behavior in Jeju Prefecture, but he did not intend to take action himself.

"I obey your command~" Wenren Ying immediately smiled.

Just something to do, it's all her blood core...

Thinking of the "blood core", Wen Renying quietly raised her head and glanced at Chen Yi's back and asked tentatively:
"My Lord, eh, those noble families that I controlled earlier, are they going to continue investigating Dakong Temple?"

Chen Yi glanced at her sideways, took out two blood cores from his Sumeru bag, one of which was a millstone-sized blood core of a demon from the supernatural realm, and threw it over.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you very much~"

Seeing the joy on Wenren Ying's face, Chen Yi took out another small wooden sword and threw it to her, saying unhappily:
"If this still doesn't work, this will be the last time."

After all, Wenren Ying's cultivation level was a little low, and most of the time he had to take care of her. People who didn't know would think he was the subordinate of the "witch".

If it weren't for the fact that the enchanting magic derived from the nine-tailed fox bloodline in her body was of some use, he would not have traded the blood core of the great demon king in the supernatural power realm.

After all, the little green dragon on his wrist also needs the demon blood core.

"Yes, yes..." Wen Renying smiled awkwardly and said, "With these two blood cores, I will be able to awaken the magical power of the fox bloodline, and then I will be able to help you a lot~"

"You'd better!"

Chen Yi glared at her and waved his hand to signal her to leave quickly.

Wenren Ying was not annoyed at all. She saluted with a smile and immediately rushed towards Jeju Prefecture.

"See you next time, I will definitely impress you~"

Chen Yi burst out laughing, but his mood became much better.

After Wen Renying walked away, Chen Yi looked up at the moonlit night and frowned slightly:
"The Dharma Assembly of 'Utmost Pure Heaven' has begun."

“The power of merit and vows… Tsk!”
