Chapter 147: The Art of Tiangang Transformation
Song Wuji held his two swords in a crossed position. This time he couldn't practice anymore and had to give it his all.

The king of the country, the incarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva, is the king of this country and the master of the secret realm. He became a monk three times and was redeemed by the court at a cost of 300 million coins.

But this was actually a game between the king and the aristocratic families in the court, in order to cultivate Buddhist forces and regain control from the aristocratic families.

As for the common people, they were nothing more than cannon fodder in the game, and could even be transformed into hungry ghosts, ready to be transformed into fruits for his inferior bodies. If one did not want to starve to death, there was only one way: to join the Buddhist sect and become his disciple.

In this way, whether hungry ghosts or monks, they can all give orders to him.

Of course, if Buddhism wants to flourish, it cannot do without the support of the king, so he did not hesitate to grant him a Bodhisattva position.

Although the position of the Bodhisattva in this secret realm should be somewhat uncertain, the Bodhisattva's manifestation in the human world may be like Song Wuji who obtained the destiny of the Fire Virtue and the Stove Character and can call himself the Kitchen God. It is also possible that this king obtained the incomplete character of Manjushri Bodhisattva.

But how terrifying are these aristocratic families that he is trying so hard to deal with?
However, in this secret place, which is named after the monks, there are no aristocratic families, only various temples.

Song Wuji didn't know whether the aristocratic families existed in certain secret realms alone, or whether these secret realms were the historical evolution written by the victors of history, and the aristocratic families had already extracted themselves from them.

History will not write that he wanted to raise monk soldiers and fight against the aristocratic families. It will only write that he was a devout Buddhist and became a monk three times, which led to the destruction of the country and the people's miserable lives.

Nor does it explain why Buddhism developed so rapidly, leading to the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasties. At this time, society was very similar to that of ancient India. The rich and powerful were the high-caste Brahmins, while the common people lived in poverty, belonging to the lower caste, and could only be slaves, or even not be slaves.

Even when slaves could not afford it, the aristocratic families monopolized the right to worship their ancestors, and the poor people did not even have the right to worship their ancestors. After all, to trace their ancestors, they needed a surname and a famous ancestor.

In this way, Buddhism expanded, and the slogan of rebirth in paradise was low-cost, and there were various Buddhist teachings to tell the slaves that suffering in this life was due to karma from the previous life. After suffering in this life, if they believed in Buddha more, they would be able to be reborn in paradise in the next life. Even if they could not be reborn in paradise, they could be reborn into a wealthy family.

It was this desperate and oppressive atmosphere during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties that prompted Buddhism to flourish throughout China.

Even some kings realized the importance of destroying Buddhism. Otherwise, the Central Plains would become a Buddhist country like the Secret Treasure Domain or many small countries in the Western Regions, with politics and religion being unified, the people would still become serfs, and the monks and temples would become large landowners and slave owners.

But even if Buddhism is destroyed, it can only be suppressed temporarily, and may even trigger more intense social unrest.

The only thing that can compete with Buddhism is Taoism. Taoism has been on the path of rebellion since Zhang Jue. It also prospered in the Han Dynasty when Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing endorsed the Huang-Lao school of governance.

When people explore the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, their first impression is always of discussions of metaphysics, the Five Stone Powder, and naked running in the snow...

But these are things that only the children of wealthy families can do. Ordinary people cannot afford the "romance and romance of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties."

Previously, Monk Lingxi said that Song Wuji was a "remnant of Taoism", which was nothing more than a political struggle.

Buddhism is flourishing and Taoism is about to be destroyed.

Taoism is flourishing and wants to destroy Buddhism.

In this area, Buddhism flourished, with 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties. Naturally, Taoism was completely excluded. Throughout the country, if not 100% of the people believed in Buddhism, at least 70% to 80% did.

Just when Song Wuji and the king of this country, Manjushri Bodhisattva, were in a stalemate.

The stove grate suddenly flickered.

It turned out that the White Tiger Fragment had been refined. Song Wuji took a quick look at what kind of growth the Stove Fragment had brought after the refining.

First of all, the stove fire acquired the property of "melting gold". In the future, in addition to being used for cooking, burning corpses and refining objects, it can also be used to forge weapons and refine metals. It is also possible to make golden bodies like the Buddhist ones.

The second is to bless Song Wuji's magical power "Tiger Transformation", just like the previous incomplete character of the Netherworld Soul Catcher strengthened the spell of calling souls, this incomplete character of the White Tiger completed the strengthening of Song Wuji's tiger transformation magical power.

It changed from the Tiger Transformation, one of the 72 Earthly Transformations, to the White Tiger Transformation, one of the 36 Heavenly Transformations.

Originally, as a transformation of the Earthly Evil, Song Wuji simply transformed into a tiger, a ferocious beast walking on the earth, and could gain a certain amount of power, just like a tiger.

Now Song Wuji has transformed again, into the "White Tiger Transformation of the Thirty-six Transformations of Tiangang", which can change the stove grid into the White Tiger grid, and transform the stove fire power into the power of the Western White Tiger star and the gold of the Five Elements. It has a more awe-inspiring ability and is a Tiangang divine beast.

And the demons killed by the White Tiger form can be transformed into minions by consuming magic power, but there are only seven positions, representing the seven constellations of the White Tiger, the Tiger's followers.

As Song Wuji's strength increases, the power of White Tiger Transformation will also increase.

The third one, who had not passed the White Tiger Fragmentary Level, had only learned the White Tiger Instant Kill, which was only 40% to 50% of its original power, but now it can exert 100% of its power.

Song Wuji was originally still thinking that if he couldn't win against the seventh grade, he would have to find a way to use the opening wall to escape from the secret realm.

Now that the Stove Ge is powerful and has completely digested the White Tiger Ge, it has greatly improved its own combat power. It is really ready for a fight.

Song Wuji shouted, "Beep beep! Show me what you're made of!"

The Bodhisattva thought that Song Wuji was thinking about escaping, or considering becoming his own protector, but he didn't expect that Song Wuji actually had the courage to draw his sword.

He laughed for a moment: "I have already attained the first stage of Arhat, and am no longer an ordinary person. How can you have the courage? Well, today I will use you to test my Vajra skills when I defeat the demon!"

The next moment, three hundred million copper coins gathered from the precious tree behind him and turned into a huge bronze statue of Manjushri.

This bronze statue of Manjushri stands behind the king's incarnation, and its appearance is truly solemn.

This golden bronze Buddha statue holds the "Great Prajna Nirvana Sutra" in his left hand and the sword of wisdom in his right hand. He swings the sword straight towards Song Wuji.

Song Wuji only felt that the sky and the earth were covered by the attack, and there was no place to hide. He did not dare to take it head-on, so he crouched down and transformed into the Tiangang White Tiger.

I saw that the white tiger was about seven or eight feet in circumference, with a star-like glow all over its body, silver-white hair, eyes like stars, and claws and fangs as sharp as divine weapons.

With just a slight leap, he stepped into the air, and with the help of the power of the stars, he stopped in the air and avoided the sword.

The sword struck the ground, causing it to crack. The sword energy spread a hundred feet and destroyed part of the hall.

When the king Manjushri Bodhisattva saw Song Wuji transformed into a white tiger, he was not surprised but happy.

"What a good mount! Although Manjushri Bodhisattva's mount is a blue lion, where can I find a blue lion? Your white tiger is a good one, so you can hold this sword of wisdom for me."
