Chapter 22: The Roar of the Deep Forest Beast

At night, at the entrance of Aoyama Temple.

The fire monkey and Shuli went one after the other, protecting the little junior brother Yifeng in the middle, and began to advance towards the dark forest.

The two senior brothers have already cultivated to the realm of "Buddha Light".

Buddhism cultivates the three realms of "Hinayana, Jade Vehicle, and Mahayana", and the Buddha Light Realm is the highest realm of the Hinayana realm of "Buddha power, Buddha energy, and Buddha light".

Not to mention that there are very few cultivators who are born with wisdom roots among the monks, that is, among the cultivators, many Buddhist monks can only be trapped in the first two small realms for a lifetime, and they can cultivate to the Buddha's light realm before the age of forty are already superior in wisdom, not to mention that the two senior brothers are still so young.

At the beginning of the Buddha Light Realm, each person's cultivation methods began to show differences, for example, the second senior brother Fire Monkey, when he showed his supernatural powers, he would emit crimson Buddha light, and when he was blessed with supernatural powers, his eyes would also glow red, making him clearer, faster, and more advantageous when he identified the enemy's movements and supernatural powers during battle.

And the fourth senior brother Shuli is a different way, he will use weapons, or Confucian commonly used swordsmanship, perennial practice of swordsmanship, listen to Senior Brother Yuanyin said, Senior Brother Shuli's swordsmanship is very powerful. The Buddha light of Shuli is mainly cyan, and this Buddha light can also be blessed with swordsmanship and supernatural powers in battle, increasing one's own combat effectiveness.

It's a pity that even though the two senior brothers are extremely intelligent, there is no suitable practice for a small temple like Qingshan Temple that is shielded in the mountains.

At the beginning, including Fire Monkey, Shuli, Yuan Yin, Xiugu, and even Master Diyi, they were basically ordinary Buddhists, and there was nothing special about them, and they couldn't practice Buddhism and Taoism.

Since the accident of Yifeng that night, everyone found that they had opened up the Divine Court Pure Land in their heads, and Huigen was born, and they had the qualifications for Buddhist cultivation.

The "Meditation Technique" passed on by Master Guangchen to everyone is just an ordinary exercise to guide and dredge the Buddha's qi in the body, and it does not have much auxiliary effect on the combat supernatural power, and the effect is very weak when cultivated.

Moreover, in addition to the exercises, there are very few types of combat powers, and what Master Guangchen passed on to his master and all the brothers is just ordinary palm techniques, seal methods, and fist techniques, and there is no powerful combat magic power, that is, the swordsmanship of Shuli, which can exert a different magical effect after combining the Buddha's qi.

Perhaps, this time down the mountain, everyone will seize the opportunity to enhance their Buddhist exercises, which is also the reason why Shuli and the fire monkey are more excited in the past two days.

The three of them condensed the Buddha's qi, lifted their bodies and leaped between the tall trees, Yifeng only cultivated to the realm of Buddha power, infused the Buddha's qi into the lower half of the body, plus the two senior brothers deliberately waited for him, Yifeng could barely keep up with them.

The dark forest seems not far away, just at the foot of Qingshan Temple, but this is the place where the mountains of Yunzhou converge, and in addition to the towering peaks, other small hills and mountain bags are also continuous. Therefore, when you come down from Qingshan Temple, you will pass through the woods and strange mountains and strange rocks along the way, and you will see much more than you usually see when you stand on the high place of Qingshan.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if the two senior brothers have a high level of cultivation and good physical strength, there will still be a situation where the Buddha's spiritual power does not work well. But half an hour passed, and the three of them did not appear in this situation, but felt more and more energetic, and the fire monkey and Shuli glanced at each other in the gallop, and also noticed this strange phenomenon.

Cultivators know that heaven and earth are full of aura that ordinary people can't perceive, such as the Buddha qi of Buddhism, the Haoran righteousness of Confucianism and the true qi of Taoism, etc., even if many cultivators have many different exercises, they can transform the aura that is very different from the aura of cultivation into the aura of the same attribute that they need, but in the actual battle and application process, absorbing the aura of the outside world is still a very useful means.

In battle, through the traction of one's own aura, one can temporarily gather a part of the energy of heaven and earth aura and supplement it to the magic power of the exercise, so as to exert a higher combat effect, which is the main role of the exercise.

However, this kind of traction method consumes its own spiritual power and luck very much, and the more spectacular and powerful the supernatural power, the more it needs to consume its own spiritual energy to traction.

However, most of the ordinary Buddhist practitioners are in the Hinayana realm, and the one who can store the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the dantian of the body is Ziquan. Ziquan is a relatively small and cramped cultivation space in the body of Buddhist practitioners, and many Buddhist and Taoist cultivators' Ziquan is not as deep as a deep spring, but both shallow and small, and the heaven and earth aura stored in the body is very limited.

Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, cultivators are all flying with the sword or riding the clouds and fog to come and go freely, don't you know that it is very difficult to achieve this step, which requires not only a deep reserve of spiritual energy in the body, but also a very subtle cultivation method, one for consumption, and the other for absorption, so as to support the ability to fly away, which seems to be at ease, but actually consumes a lot of magical power.

However, what makes cultivators feel gratified is that after countless generations of cultivators' hard work, the cultivation world has developed a variety of profound and mysterious exercises to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate supernatural powers, improve cultivation, and can continuously expand the cultivation space in the body to nourish and store more heaven and earth spiritual energy.

At the same time, those exquisite cultivation techniques, when fighting with people, can run the exercises smoothly, at the cost of consuming less aura, absorbing more heaven and earth aura, so that the combat strength is multiplied and more durable. Although this kind of exercise only exists among those sect giants, and many ordinary cultivators have no chance to cultivate in their lifetimes, it is still the cornerstone of the hearts of many cultivators who firmly cultivate their cultivation path.

The fire monkey thought that at that time, the senior brother Yuan Yin had said that the meditation technique taught by Master Guangchen to everyone should be just a fragment of a profound exercise, although it still seems to have the effect of channeling and nourishing the spiritual power of Buddha Qi in the body, but the actual effect is not very ideal, and the battle is also very difficult to control.

Therefore, it should be even more difficult for them to use the Buddha's qi spiritual power now than ordinary cultivators. But tonight, the more the three of them went in the direction of the dark forest, the more they felt that the spiritual power in their bodies was running smoothly, and I have to say that there must be something strange in this.

After another stick of incense, in the dark and deep forest ahead, the forest that should have been black and swarthy was occasionally revealing a faint light, but in the blink of an eye, it suddenly disappeared, and the three of them saw this situation, they knew that something was wrong, and immediately cheered up and accelerated to leap forward.

Occasionally, the golden light gradually increased in brightness, but they also faintly heard the roars of some beasts, low, violent, mysterious, and deep.

The fire monkey's heart sank, and he remembered the legend about the dark forest that the master had mentioned to him: I don't know when it began, there was always a very vicious aura in the depths of the dark forest.

Master Diyi had seen a vision of the Dark Forest in the dark, and although he didn't know what the reason was at the time, he felt that it might be the gathering of some wild beasts, which was not particularly dangerous for cultivators. But he still told a few of their apprentices and warned them not to act rashly, so the senior brothers never allowed Yifeng and Xiugu to go out at night, also for their safety.

The third senior brother Jin Luo also took advantage of this vision, and went out to practice every three or five days, he was good at combat skills, and he could test and exercise his hand-to-hand combat skills in a dangerous environment, so the master did not stop his practice, but silently gave him medicine after he returned, including the golden lotus fruit.

But now the faint roar of the beast and the layers of anger are far beyond the scope of what Master said "not very dangerous", is Master wrong, or has there been some special accident recently?

The fire monkey became more impatient and faster. Shuli was able to keep up with the fire monkey, but he had to take care of Yifeng, so the two of them were left behind.

When the two of them arrived at the place where the light was blooming, they saw the fire monkey standing behind a large tree, quietly looking at the glowing place in front of them, perhaps so distracted that he didn't even notice Shuli and Yifeng when they arrived. In such an unknown and dangerous environment, the fire monkey, who has always been alert, should not make such a mistake, and it seems that something very shocking has happened in front of him.

Shuli and Yifeng stopped behind the fire monkey, quietly approached the fire monkey, and whispered a senior brother at a distance from him, and the fire monkey shrugged his shoulders and tightened his muscles, startled. Seeing that it was the two of them, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then beckoned them to approach with a nervous expression.

Finally, Shuli and Yifeng also saw the glowing place in front of them, and they were also stunned in an instant: surrounded by many towering and growing giant trees, a deep pit with a radius of dozens of zhang appeared in front of them, and the pit became deeper and deeper to the center, forming a funnel shape, but the most eye-catching thing was that in the center of the pit, there was a shining treasure at least a dozen zhang deep!

But because of the sharp flickering of light, they couldn't see the appearance of the treasure clearly, and only saw the solemn Buddha Gate aura gathered around the object, and it actually condensed the neat and exquisite and complex and obscure Buddha Gate runes, constantly releasing a rich and dazzling golden Buddha light!

However, this was not the most surprising place for them, what shocked the three of them was the countless beasts that were quietly leaning down around the pit!

Looking closely, there were tigers, wolves, leopards, wild boars, elk, bison, monkeys, snakes, insects, rats and ants, and some strange monsters that could not be named. The only thing they have in common is the glittering golden light in their eyes, like a group of hunters of all sizes greedily staring at the delicious prey that makes them salivate.

The greedy eyes made them roar low, but as if they had been suppressed by something, they did not dare to howl loudly, let alone attack each other, and fought together. All the monsters and animals were consciously separated, lying on the ground in groups, their heads fluttering, the smell pungent, restless and depressing, as if waiting for something to come.

At this time, the golden light in the center of the pit flickered sharply several times very quickly, and suddenly, the golden light went out, as if the lights were extinguished in a dark room, and everything fell into darkness. But then came a bright light around the pit—the greedy eyes of all beasts.

"Roar—"

The sudden earth-shattering roar almost pierced the ears of the three fire monkeys, and countless beast roars were chaotic and manic, at this time they were shocked to see that the huge beast herd finally couldn't hold it back, put away its sharp claws, twisted its body, rushed up, and desperately swooped into the depths of the pit!

The beasts, which had been undisturbed and neatly divided, trampled, scratched, and collided in the running and diving, and the manic atmosphere reached its peak, and the beasts finally began to fight.

At this moment, in the deep pit, the body of the beast was torn and trampled to pieces, and the weak beast became a pulp of flesh in the blink of an eye, and the blood soared into the air like a fountain, and the fur and feathers of the beast flew one after another, and countless sounds of flesh tearing and bones breaking, mixed with terrible roars and angry howls, rushed out of the sky.

The three of them, Fire Monkey Shuli and Yifeng, stood behind the tree in a daze, unable to swallow a mouthful of saliva in their throats, just rolling dryly, but their bodies did not dare to move.

They have lived in a small temple for many years, and they have never seen such a brutal and bloody scene, even Shuli has killed people, but compared to now, it is a small thing, and it is not worth mentioning.

But fortunately, the thick darkness was just right to cover them, and it also drowned the purgatory of the evil beast battle in front of the three of them, and the only thing they could do was to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, waiting for them to fight a bloody way out for them.
