From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 98: Afraid of Both Ends

Seeing that Meng Yuan and Zhang Guinian were both shameless, Jie Kaiping stopped talking to them and looked at the woman instead.

He bowed again, untied the screen and said, "The female donor's divine power is as powerful as a prison, which is truly unmatched. This little monk admires you very much."

"You talk too much nonsense!" The White Ape Elder couldn't bear it any longer. Half of his body was torn and his injuries were extremely serious, but he still raised his foot, kicked Jiesai Ping's butt, and then fell against the tree.

"Brother Bai, why are you so anxious?" Jie Kaiping was hit but was not angry. He looked at the woman and took out a bodhi seed calmly. "Such a domineering divine power is like a prison. It can be seen that the female donor has extraordinary abilities. Why not join my Buddhist sect?"

He immediately threw out the Bodhi seed, which then turned into green light and rushed towards the woman in an instant.

For a moment, bursts of Buddhist sounds rang out inside and outside the woods.

However, the Buddhist chanting was just as usual, anxious, impatient, and eager for quick success. There were even a few impatient chirping sounds of mice in it, which was really annoying.

The sword in the woman's hand became brighter and brighter. She raised the sword to block the green light of the Bodhi seed, but she couldn't block it at all, and it went straight into her forehead.

"This is the Buddhist method of 'entering my empty door'!" Zhang Guinian suddenly raised his voice, "The Bodhi seeds must have been given by the master, girl, hurry up!"

He looked at Gong Meng again, "You two should leave quickly too!"

Meng Yuan and Gong Zihua remained silent. Yang Huaiyi sighed and held it back.

The woman's expression did not change at all, and she said, "This master has at least experienced the fourth level of Nirvana, or even the fourth level of perfection. If he came in person, I would naturally not be able to do it."

"Master, are you Qing Guangzi?" The light of the sword in her hand did not fade as she looked at Jie Kaiping.

"Why is she okay?" Elder White Ape asked curiously, holding Jie Kaiping with one hand.

"You have a treasure on you." Jie Kaiping saw that the woman was not affected by the Bodhi seeds at all. Curiosity appeared on his gentle face and he asked, "May I ask which Taoist sect you are friends with?"

The woman did not answer. She held the sword in one hand, took out the porcelain bottle with the other, and swallowed a few pills.

"What should we do?" Elder White Ape saw that the woman did not answer, but he already felt a sense of confinement, as if the other party's divine power had returned like prison.

"Don't worry." Jie Kaiping was very calm, "Drag it out. The master's method is complete. She has already entered the mind, and if we delay, something might happen. We must fight quickly. This person is very noble and has a high status. If something happens to her, we will have to send someone else, and the people above should pay attention to this place."

At this moment, the woman suddenly moved.

I saw faint ripples around her, and then there was a tiny floating light, as if there were stars floating behind her.

"A glimpse! I know the donor's background!" He smiled gently after Jie Kaiping, put his hands together, and golden light suddenly surged on his body.

The golden light did not have the gentleness and solemnity of the Buddha's light, but it had a sense of weirdness, and it jumped from time to time, sometimes big and sometimes small.

At this moment, the woman took a step forward, and then the ground around her seemed to turn into water.

But the person seemed to be a flash of light passing by, leaving no trace.

Everyone's eyes blurred and they saw the floating light approaching the golden light. The two lightly touched each other three feet away and then separated.

The woman landed in front of Zhang Guinian. Meng Yuan was standing behind her and could smell a faint fragrance, and could hear the woman's breath seemed a little unstable.

The man who had been robbed stood more than ten feet away. His left hand was cut off, his left eye was blurry, and his body was covered with many wounds, with his bones, flesh and internal organs exposed.

"How about my Nirvana Dharma?" Jie Kaiping still had a smile on his face. He wanted to put his hands together, but he lacked a hand, so he saluted with one hand. "Your fleeting glimpse is indeed better than the empty facade of the floating light cave. I have seen many heroes, but they are far inferior to you. I dare to ask how many times you can force it? How much more can you move?"

"How can a rat in the gutter see the bright moon in the blue sky?" The woman sneered, and the sword in her hand glowed again like a torch.

"Let's go! It's no use!" The white ape immediately turned around and left.

Jie Kaiping was also frightened and his face changed. "The Bodhi seeds are lost. If I leave, won't it be a waste of Master's efforts?"

He gritted his teeth and took out a dark green Bodhi leaf.

The Bodhi leaf seemed to be woven out of some kind of hair.

"This?" The white ape was stunned. "Why didn't the master give it to you and give it to me?"

"I'm in the city, so of course I need this thing!" Jie Kaiping replied casually, and then he murmured in his mouth, and the Bodhi leaf slowly grew larger, and soon covered the forest.

It was not pleasant to untie the screen either. His black hair withered and fell off, the color on his face became paler, there was no longer any Buddha light on his body, and his blood turned black.

The forest became gloomy for a moment, and then the light and shadows changed. Meng Yuan felt that he saw flowers blooming and falling, and it seemed that he had fallen into a dark rat hole.

Soon, when Meng Yuan came to his senses and opened his eyes again, he found that he had changed his place and was in a dark cave.

Water was seeping from the top of the cave, and rats were crawling back and forth in the corners, gnawing at their food.

This should be under the lake.

Meng Yuan was down to earth and didn't realize there was anything wrong with himself.

Looking around, I saw that the cave was very wide, about a hundred feet wide, with a perpetually burning lamp on the stone wall.

Zhang Guinian was slumped on the ground, while Gong Zihua and Yang Huaiyi were rubbing their heads.

The woman stood on the ground, holding a sword in one hand, and was also looking around.

This was the first time Meng Yuan had seen a Buddhist secret treasure, and he saw two of them at once. A Bodhi seed was similar to the method of seeding thoughts, but it was much stronger than the one used by the Great Tail Venerable.

Another Bodhi leaf can actually change its direction, which really gives people the feeling of "one flower, one world".

Meng Yuan recalled what happened just now. It was clear that the woman wanted to scare Jie Kaiping away. Jie Kaiping was indeed frightened, but he also went crazy and used some secret treasure of teleportation.

"You really guessed it right. Jie Kaiping is really waiting for us in the dark." Zhang Guinian took out a bottle of pills from his arms.

He was trembling and couldn't open it, so Meng Yuan simply took over, helped him open it, poured out three pills, and stuffed them into his mouth.

"What is that magic weapon? Where are we?" Meng Yuan asked.

"Not sure." Zhang Guinian sighed.

"It's a bridge leaf, which fits the Buddhist concept of a stone bridge." The woman turned around and said, "Buddhists cultivate the corresponding Dharma, experience Nirvana, and only have supernatural powers after reaching the fourth level. But since we haven't arrived in person, we won't be sent too far."

Her voice was a little cold, but very clear, and echoed in the cave.

"Miss Mingyue, what should we do?" Zhang Guinian asked.

The woman named Mingyue said, "The white ape and the peacock are outside. They are waiting for me to chant the magic."

She looked towards the low stone door on the left side of the cave, "I have sent the message, reinforcements should be coming soon."

Mingyue's tone was cold at first, but her voice became softer in the second half of the sentence, as if she felt a little embarrassed about asking for help and wanted to apologize.

She swung her sword at a blue stone, found a clean spot, and then sat down cross-legged.

I saw her holding a sword on her knees, holding a green jade in her hand, and then a faint light appeared on her body, and then she closed her eyes, "The white ape is useless. The peacock has just entered the sixth level, and he crossed the bridge here with serious injuries, and his vitality has been greatly reduced. If they come to break in, wake me up. I think he dare not come forward, and will only wait for me to chant. You need to be on guard against him chanting."

Meng Yuan finally understood that Miss Mingyue had been eroded by the method of planting thoughts and clearly had no strength to fight anymore. She needed to use supernatural powers to suppress the method of planting thoughts.

The white ape outside also lost its fighting power. As for Jie Kaiping, he was also seriously injured.

Now both sides are waiting. Mingyue is waiting for reinforcements, and Jie Kaiping is waiting for Mingyue Nianfa.

Meng Yuan looked at the wet stone door and saw Jie Kaiping appear. He sat on the ground and said, "Although the master has not come in person, you can give me a Bodhi seed to protect me. Donor, you have entered the sixth level not long ago. May I ask what divine power you have to suppress me?"

Mingyue said nothing.

When Jie Kaiping saw that Mingyue didn't say anything, he started talking to Meng Yuan and the others again, chattering non-stop, all talking nonsense trying to persuade people to become Buddhists.

Meng Yuan shot two arrows, and Jie Kaiping hid outside the door, but he continued to chant scriptures.

"He is having some disturbing thoughts. You all should sit quietly with your eyes closed." Zhang Guinian said, "We will take turns one by one. Remember, if you feel anxious or depressed, you must speak up."

Gong Zihua and Yang Huaiyi both nodded, and they sat down cross-legged.

Meng Yuan took out a cake and ate it, thinking in his heart. Zhang Guinian, who was able to move, used the Floating Light Cave Heaven, and the Jade Liquid was exhausted. He was also injured and had no fighting power for a while.

As for himself, Gong Zihua, and Yang Huaiyi, they were all only rank eight. Even if the other party was injured, he was still a rank six monk… I have heard of people who killed people by jumping levels, but I have never heard of people who killed people by jumping two levels.

"Eh? I'm going to be a seventh-grade cultivator soon. Doesn't that mean I'm jumping two levels?" Meng Yuan took two bites of the biscuit, walked up to Zhang Guinian, and broke off half of the biscuit for him.

"You are a rare calm kid." Zhang Guinian took it, spat out another mouthful of blood, and took a bite of the biscuit with the blood, "Aren't you afraid?"

"There's no point in being afraid." Meng Yuan was very serious and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Uncle Zhang, you're not going to die, are you?"

"..." Zhang Guinian was stunned, "He's definitely not going to die."

Meng Yuan felt relieved and asked again: "Uncle Zhang, how many of the thirty-three heavens do I need to open before I can use the Floating Light Cave Heaven?"

"The ancients said, 'The stone door of the cave will suddenly open.'" Zhang Guinian had obviously experienced a lot, so he was not anxious at the moment. He whispered, "The divine power of the heavenly secret is to open the stone door and it will be done."

"Only open one place?" Meng Yuan knew that the first place to open the middle thirty-three days was in the Niwan Palace, commonly known as breaking the Niwan; and the first place to open the upper thirty-three days was commonly known as breaking the Shimen.

"The wonder of the divine power of heaven lies here. Even if only one of the thirty-three heavens is open, you will still be able to fight against a fully open one! Or, you can even kill a higher-level enemy." Zhang Guinian munched on a biscuit. "For warriors like me, there is always a way out. Even if there is no way out, we can still cut a way out. Didn't Old Nie teach you this? This is what you must know to move forward. Otherwise, if you are afraid of difficulties, you won't be able to go far."

"Of course I taught you." Meng Yuan also ate the biscuit.

"You have already completed the eighth level?" Zhang Guinian snapped his fingers. "When we were drinking at Zuiyue Tower the night before yesterday, didn't you say that you hadn't completed the middle and lower levels for two days?"

"Hasn't a whole day and night passed?" Meng Yuan said.

"..." Zhang Guinian dug his ears and yelled at the person who had unlocked the screen: "Stop chanting! Only one of these people hasn't reached the eighth level of perfection. Who are you chanting for?"

Then Zhang Guinian looked at Meng Yuan and asked in a low voice: "So, you want to break through now?"

"Is it inappropriate?" Meng Yuan was free anyway.

"There's nothing wrong with it, but we need to be on guard against that kind of thought." Zhang Guinian said seriously.

"Then let me try it?" Meng Yuan swallowed the biscuit in two or three bites.

"Okay, go ahead and try it. I'll protect you." Zhang Guinian said, covering the wound on his chest.
