Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"It's you! Jade Hands Nine Needles, Yellow Springs, prepare for your funeral!"

Hen Qiangu's figure flickered and disappeared into the night.

Jun Shepo suffered a knife wound on his back, leaving a huge cross-shaped gash with flesh torn open and deep into the bone marrow.

Seeing his critical condition, Cui Luohan quickly channeled her inner energy to protect Jun Shepo's heart and meridians, then brandished her spirit sword: "Spiritual Pivot Hundred Bones - Nine Needles Sealing Life, Hah!"

Nine sword energies entered Jun Shepo's body, like nine streams of spiritual energy, flowing through his meridians and acupoints, prolonging his life and reviving him. The damaged bones in his back gradually repaired themselves.

"Pfft~"

Jun Shepo spat out a mouthful of black blood and immediately felt that his injuries had been mostly healed.

He had long heard of the renowned Jade Hands Nine Needles Green Vine Cold, but he never expected to be saved by her.

"Thank you so much, Miss Cui, for saving my life! I will never forget your kindness!"

"You're too kind. The thief may not have gone far. I'll see you off."

"The Xiyu Mountain Temple is not far from here. Please trouble Miss Cui to take me there."

"Ah."

We soon arrived at Xiyushan Temple.

While Fengxue was still meditating, he heard the sound and welcomed them into the temple.

At this moment, Jun Shepo recounted how Hen Qiangu had murdered his brothers.

"hateful!"

Cui Luohan never expected that the person she rescued on her way was from the Fierce Martial Altar, and that it was Huang Quan who had killed Hen Jiangyue.

Yi Lu Chan bowed his head and chanted Buddhist prayers: "There is a divine will in the darkness."

Jun Shepo asked, "I wonder why Miss Cui has come here so late at night?"

"I have temporarily been appointed as a guest of the Sword Debate Sea, and am invited as a candidate for the next Sword Appraisal Conference. I have heard that Qing Shuangtai Mu Chengxue is an unparalleled female swordsman, so I came here to invite her, but I have been unable to find her current residence."

"Qingshuang Terrace, snow at dusk? What a coincidence."

Cui Luohan asked in surprise, "What does this mean?"

"Qingshuangtai is one of the three pillars of the Liewu Altar. My brother, I'll take you there after dawn."

"Thank you for your trouble."

After daybreak, Jun Shepo and Fengxue Yiluchan accompanied Cuiluohan to the ancient moon of Hengshan.

The ancient temple on Mount Heng hides the autumn moon, and countless wisps of clouds reflect on the stone peaks.

This is a hermit's abode, hidden deep in the mountains and rivers, surrounded by thousands of peaks and hundreds of cliffs, infinitely tranquil.

Xiao Tong Qiuliang invited everyone in, brewed tea, and waited quietly.

A moment later, a female immortal with the graceful posture of a plum blossom appeared.

"In the morning, her hair was as black as silk; by evening, it had turned to snow. In one night, the wind and frost overturned the sea tower."

Jun Shepo and Fengxue Yiluchan hurriedly bowed and said, "It's been a long time, Qingshuangtai."

"Hengshan Mountain has been quiet and deserted for decades, and I never thought it would be so lively."

Qing Shuangtai has a pure and innocent appearance, but she is upright and unyielding. Fifty years ago, an accident caused by a critical incident led to a misunderstanding between her and Yu Longtian, and the two gradually developed a rift.

Afterwards, Yu Longtian became paralyzed and bedridden, and had no chance to explain to her again.

Qing Shuangtai thus went into seclusion, and even after the deaths of the Nine Fiends brothers, he never appeared.

Jun Shepo dared not provoke her, and busied himself introducing her to Cui Luohan.

Cui Luohan explained her purpose: "The Sword Appraisal Conference is held every few years. The next one will be in three years. I hope that the way of swordsmanship will flourish and all things will compete for spring."

As a fellow female innate swordsman, Qing Shuangtai had also heard of Cui Luohan's great name. He sighed and said, "It is not that I am putting on airs, but that I suffer from a chronic illness that has damaged my foundation, and I am not suitable for prolonged combat."

"Oh? May Luo Han take a look?"

Qing Shuangtai extended her wrist: "Thank you for your trouble."

Cui Luohan carefully examined the pulse and couldn't help but frown: "This illness has been delayed for too long, and it has already damaged the lung vessels, causing loss of lung function. Now, not only is he coughing up blood, but there are also signs of damage to his vital energy."

"Of course."

"If you trust Luo Han, I can cure your stubborn illness. I will give you acupuncture once every three days, reduce it to once every ten days after three months, and you will be completely cured in half a year."

Upon hearing this, Qing Shuangtai was both surprised and delighted: "Really?"

"For the convenience of treatment, you will need to stay at Tiandu Hospital."

"Tiandu, this?"

Just as Qing Shuangtai was pondering this, a person stumbled in, repeatedly shouting, "Sister, save me! Sister, save me!"

"It's my younger brother!"

Qing Shuangtai rushed out suddenly, and the person who came had already fainted on the ground.

"It's poison! This is a rare poison from the Western Regions! Cui Luohan, save them quickly!"

"Ok?"

Cui Luohan rushed over to check and found that it was indeed a strange poison from the Western Regions.

The Nine Heavens Spirit Sword suddenly rose, and nine sword winds, like needles, shot towards Gu Duming's entire body meridians.

"Spiritual Penetration of the Hundred Bodies, Nine Needles for Acupoint Location, Drink!"

"how was it?"

“I have used nine needles to seal his heart orifice and forced the poison to the Baihui, Shenque and Yongquan acupoints. He will be safe for seven days, but we still need the antidote from the Western Regions.”

The sudden change of events left Jun Shepo and Feng Xue feeling heavy-hearted all the way.

Qing Shuangtai gritted his teeth and said, "The Western Regions belong to Qi Yuehan, a descendant of Ouyang Jin!"

"Now that we know who poisoned you, things are much easier. Why don't you come back to Tiandu with me first? I'm sure Wu Jun can help you get the antidote."

"let's go!"

Qing Shuangtai, who had been hesitant, stopped thinking when faced with his younger brother's deadly poison and rushed to Tiandu with Cui Luohan.

At this moment, Tiandu is receiving another guest.

The visitor is Huizuo Wangchenyuan from the original homeland of Tianfo.

"Lord Wu, this humble monk has come for the white jade Buddha statue."

Luo Hou stared at the blind and deaf monk before him, whose face was handsome, and remained silent for a long time.

Wang Chenyuan said uneasily, "Lord Wu, please return the white jade Buddha statue for the sake of all living beings."

"Oh? Then I must ask you, Master, what is meant by 'the world'? What are the common people?"

"this?"

"If the master's answer satisfies me, the Buddha statue will be returned immediately."

Wang Chenyuan bowed his head and replied, "What the heavens cover is the world. What the eyes see is all living beings."

Luo Hou smiled faintly: "I have heard a high monk say that all sentient beings are illusions. If that is the case, why should we save them?"

“Excellent! When the mind arises, all phenomena arise; when the mind ceases, all phenomena cease.”

Chapter 204 The Forbidden Decree of Death: Even the Heavenly Emperor Doesn't Play Survival Game, He Plays on Social Media

If Wang Chenyuan were not an undercover agent in the realm of desire, he could indeed attain enlightenment.

However, in the eyes of those in the Desire Realm, the path they cultivate is the true path, and the Buddha they worship is the true Buddha.

The war between Mara and Buddha began when Shakyamuni was still Prince Siddhartha. Legend has it that when Prince Siddhartha came to the Bodhi tree to prepare for enlightenment, Mara led a large army to attack.

As Mara's army advanced toward the Bodhi tree, the celestial beings who had come with Saja to pay homage to the Bodhisattva scattered and fled like birds and beasts.

Indra himself hid at the edge of the world with his war conch shell; Brahma threw down his white umbrella and returned to the Brahma realm; the Dragon King ignored his dragon daughter and burrowed into the ground, returning to the Dragon Palace to cover his face with his hands; not a single god dared to remain standing in place.

Siddhartha was alone, sitting quietly under the Bodhi tree.

In the end, Mara, having exhausted all his methods, could not sway Siddhartha and was defeated and left. Siddhartha, on the other hand, attained Buddhahood and became Shakyamuni Buddha.

Hui Zuo was naturally unaware that the Martial Lord before him shared the same goal: to release Mara as soon as possible.

The function of the black and white jade Buddhas is to open the deep gate of the Buddhist realm. When they are combined into one, they can also liberate the Three Venerables of the Desire Realm, who are powerful generals under Mara, second only to the Five Heavenly Lords. Their strength should not be underestimated.

Now that the Deep Gate has been opened, the next step is to use the Jade Sea Nine Wheels to find the exact location of Mara's seal.

Luo Hou asked, "Items from the Buddhist land should be returned, but I wonder where the black jade Buddha statue is now?"

"I am ashamed... With the help of the Lord of Youmeng Tower, I have learned that the Black Jade Buddha statue has been absorbed into the body of the Black Prison Demon Emperor, and I still need to find a way to retrieve it."

"I'll give you the Buddha statue, but I have a condition for it."

"Please speak, Lord Wu."

"Soon I will take something from your hand."

"can."

Luo Hou took out a white jade Buddha statue, which Wang Chenyuan gladly accepted: "Thank you, Martial Lord."

Make the most of everything. First, let the Desire Realm release Mara, then completely annihilate him, and then rebuild the original homeland of the Heavenly Buddha.

This can be considered a way of repaying the Buddha.

After dismissing Wang Chenyuan, Cui Luohan brought the people from the Lie Wu Tan and told them about Gu Duming's poisoning.

"Greetings, Lord Wu."

"No need to be so polite. I had a meeting with Master Chaoyi a few days ago."

After the host and guests were seated, Jun Manlu served them tea.

Qing Shuangtai, being impatient, rose again and pleaded, "Martial Lord, my younger brother has been poisoned by a rare poison from the Western Regions. I wonder if Tian Du has any connection with Qi Yuehan, the leader of the Western Regions poison?"

"Qi Yuehan is extreme in temperament. Even if there is a relationship, she will not let go of the enemy who killed her mother. We should ask the divine doctor Tian Bugu to come and give it a try."

"this?"
