Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 198: No more cutting and sorting out, it’s still chaos
The beautiful woman's expression was inscrutable, and her tone was wistful.

There seemed to be a flicker of fire in his eyes.

"Even with great magical power and supernatural abilities, one cannot sever the causal chain; there are some things that even gods and Buddhas cannot escape."

"Neither you nor I can escape it."

Xu Hanwen, how do you know I haven't tried? Even with a thousand years of cultivation, I couldn't sever the karmic ties of love from that willow leaf in the jade bottle.

On the contrary, I witnessed you and me singing abruptly in Jiangnan and other places countless times, regardless of the occasion, and even getting married and having children countless times.

Recalling the countless experiments at the bottom of the lake, a strange, wicked fire surged within him, and the willow-leaf pattern between his brows flickered once more.

The mindset of seeking the truth that I had always maintained suddenly became flawed, and I was controlled by my emotions.

Without any apparent reason, he said, "If you're still worried about that mad monk, I'll take a look at him for you."

With an angry stomp, he suddenly appeared at the top of Leifeng Pagoda.

The gentle spring breeze caressed her temples, causing her clothes to flutter lightly. Bai Suzhen stood in the air like the most ethereal goddess in the heavens.

Beneath my feet lies the shimmering West Lake, in the distance the Qiantang River twinkles with lights, and nearby stands Lingyin Temple, the site of today's events.

The ripples in the mind of the practitioner never ceased, and even surged to a dangerous degree.

Magical power began to surge, and the celestial phenomena changed!
With a wave of his sleeves, the mist from West Lake was carried into the sky.

With a crack, a thunderclap resounded on Feilai Peak in the night.

As if a hole had been torn open by thunder, a torrential downpour began to fall on Lingyin Temple.

The torrential rain poured down, and strings of raindrops pelted every corner of Feilai Peak, flowing down the rocks and tiles into the temple. The stream behind the mountain began to swell rapidly.

The sudden downpour puzzled the monks in the temple. Spring rain is an auspicious sign, but this amount of rain seemed a bit excessive.

The temple supervisor naturally told the monks to go to sleep, saying that a rain shower was no big deal.

He even praised the new monk Qingyou's sleep quality, saying that he hasn't woken up at all.

The goddess on the tower, looking at the temple that appeared unchanged after being washed by the rain, came to a conclusion.

"no problem."

Then Bai Suzhen waved her sleeves again, whoosh~~~~
The wind picked up; a fierce wind swept through the spring night, carrying a deluge of moisture into the temple.

Leaves fluttered down, wildflowers withered, and the whistling wind, mixed with raindrops, pattered against the windowpane.

Furthermore, air currents wafted in through the corners of the walls and window cracks, causing the Buddhist scriptures to tumble, giving the monks headaches, and dimming the ever-burning lamps in the main hall.

"nor."

Then, his body surged with magical power, and his fingers began to form hand seals, each movement extremely slow.

He recited aloud: "All sentient beings in the ten directions, the endless cycle of death and rebirth, the good and the evil realms, the signs of good and bad, all are clearly seen."

Boundless divine power descended from the sky above the wind and rain, covering Lingyin Temple with this supernatural power—the unobstructed, pure, heavenly eye wisdom and supernatural power.

It can reveal good and evil, fortune and misfortune, and is also a great method to see a person's past and present lives.

Even though Xu Xuan didn't know what kind of supernatural power this was, he knew that it must possess immense divine might to make Miss Bai take it so seriously.

The monks of Lingyin Temple did not deserve to die, young lady.

He also flashed to the top of the tower, sat cross-legged next to Bai Suzhen, and awakened his own white lotus Dharma form, circulating the Heart Sutra with a true Buddhist mindset.

The Leifeng Pagoda beneath him was brightly lit, and Buddhist light blessed Xu Xuan.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, after walking in the deep Prajnaparamita for a long time, he saw that the five aggregates are all empty, and he survived all the hardships."

The wonder of the Heart Sutra lies in its guidance of sentient beings. Bai Suzhen was moved and touched at this moment, so it naturally had a miraculous effect.

She quickly realized that her state of mind had been affected by Xu Hanwen; it was a tangled mess.

The moment the idea of ​​severing the emotional entanglement arises, one should not try to cut it off, but rather actively seek to overcome the entanglement.

Thinking to himself, he also put away the supernatural power he had not yet used.

Soon the wind and rain subsided on Feilai Peak, as if nothing had happened.

Only a group of monks were staring blankly at the puddles on the ground and the chaotic monks' quarters, looking as if they were about to cry.

"I haven't found the figure of that mad monk. I will keep an eye on Lingyin Temple."

It then transformed into white light and plunged into West Lake.

Xu Xuan was left standing alone at the top of the tower, feeling bewildered. He had a feeling that there was something wrong with this Lady White Snake.

"Fine, fine, since that's the case, I'd better run away quickly, otherwise I won't be able to explain myself if I get caught."

"Master Fahai's attack on Lingyin Temple is incredibly shocking."

Fortunately, this was probably just an isolated incident. After the Shangsi Festival, everyone returned safely, and everything went back to normal. Baoan Temple was also making final preparations for exorcising demons.

Nighttime, inside Hospital B3.

"Where are the things?"

"Here it is."

Xiaoqing tossed over a bag, and when she poured it out, she saw several beads emitting a soft blue light, with several water ripples swirling around them; they were clearly high-end goods.

It is the famous water-repelling bead.

Since the goal is to quell the demonic disturbances in Jiangnan, how can we deal with water without proper methods?

At first, the group obtained the Water Avoidance Technique, but this technique only allows one to part water. Before entering the water, one must recite the incantation to move slowly and consume a great deal of energy.

Going underwater is like carrying a negative buff when fighting monsters; don't even think about it.

Then it won't be about slaying demons and monsters, but about giving the water monsters a meal.

That's why she set her sights on external things; Xiaoqing decisively went to her sister's treasure trove and rummaged through a lot of things.

"With the eyes of the dragon fish, one can use magic to prevent water from entering within a ten-foot radius and move freely through rivers, lakes and seas."

"nice one."

"But the river water tainted by magic is not within the protection zone, and it is fragile."

This bag of items was left unused and was considered useless.

He thought that the water-repelling pearls were the kind that belonged to the ancient Yu the Great, which could subdue the Zhi River, find the dragon vein, and locate the dragon's mouth.

I never expected this budget item to be so useless.

Why can't people swim like fish?

"You should ask the goddess Nuwa."

"Humans can't have all the advantages, right? If humans could live freely underwater, then the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas would be filled with smog."

Xiaoqing's earnest answer really made people feel a tightness in their chest, because what she said was so correct.

Xu Xuan sighed; it seemed that only the third plan could be implemented.

It was another night, and the two of them traveled upstream along the Qiantang River until they entered the Fuchun River basin and stopped in a county town.

They met up with the Taoist priest, who was dressed as a doctor.

The Taoist priest looked rather haggard, indicating that he hadn't had a good time these past few days.

"This monster is not easy to deal with; we may need to find a different target."

This place is Tonglu County. The county has a mediocre reputation. The county magistrate is a graduate of Bailu Academy and has the surname Ximen. He is a moral and cultured person, but not a capable one.

Having been stuck in this predicament for many years, the county has been working to address various problems, but with little success.

Even the village head wouldn't listen to government orders outside of the county seat. Everyone knows he's a good person, but good people can't bring about any change when placed in the complex grassroots environment.

The Black Crocodile King was a powerful force entrenched on Tongzhou Island. He openly built a water god temple and collected offerings from the villagers.

They also collected tributes from several human subordinates from passing ships, threatening to unleash massive waves and swallow the ships whole if the passengers refused.

It wasn't that there weren't demon hunters and righteous experts who stepped in to subdue the demon, but this guy was incredibly powerful and also had weapons and magical treasures on him.

Those who attained the Dao through ordinary means were no match for even a single blow, becoming easy prey for others.

If they encounter a formidable opponent, they'll dive into the river, and the storm will subside in ten days or half a month.

He then reappeared and continued to stir up trouble, making him quite a troublesome character.

However, Xu Xuan and Xiao Qing held completely opposite views to the Taoist priest.

It would be troublesome if this demon stayed in the water all day and didn't come out. But unexpectedly, this guy not only came out to stir up trouble, but also built a temple with incense and worship. Then there are plenty of ways to deal with him.

The principle of "a single hair can affect the whole body" applies to military strategy, which lies in the combination of movement and stillness.

Of course, the first step is to encourage Master Mao.

Husband fights with courage.

Xu Xuan stood far from the riverbank and confidently said, "I have three strategies, superior, middle, and inferior, to subdue this demon. The advantage of my sword lies in its momentum; when the momentum is activated, it can cleave rivers and seas!"

Xiaoqing chuckled softly, "This demon is extremely arrogant. Last time I retreated tactically to avoid its sharp edge, but this time I'll definitely teach it a lesson."

Master Mao failed to integrate again.

　I have something to do today, so only two chapters. Sorry.
