Chapter 18: Black Clouds Crush the Temple
In the dead of night, many temples and monasteries on Baolian Mountain have already entered the rest at this time, except for the street lights on some small roads in the scenic area, the entire small mountain range has fallen into a quiet darkness at this time.
However, at this time, the entire backyard of the Great Bodhi Temple, which is on the top of the mountain and the highest status and the most famous temple on the entire Baolian Mountain, is brightly lit, and hundreds of monks are all nervous, guarding around an ordinary-looking small courtyard with a full posture of vigilance.
In the small courtyard, Master Zhenru did not rest at the moment, but sat cross-legged in the middle of the small courtyard, and his whole body was exuding a faint golden light.
And in the sky above the Great Bodhi Temple, the black clouds that had enveloped the entire Great Bodhi Temple were getting thicker and lower, and it looked like it was about to press on everyone's heads.
Master Jueming, the abbot of the Great Bodhi Temple who was standing on the side, looked at Master Zhenru, who was becoming more and more tired, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then he shouted in a low voice: "Formation!" ”
The hundreds of monks guarding outside the small courtyard immediately received the order in unison, all sat down cross-legged, and sang in a low voice in unison.
The sound of the uniform chanting blended together and flew into the sky, and the black clouds suspended above the Great Bodhi Temple were forced to float up a little, and the black intent that seemed to be dripping out of the water also faded a little.
The expression of the True Master in the courtyard suddenly relaxed, and the golden light emitted was suddenly much stronger.
Master Jueming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, there are preparations in the temple, under this Bodhi Golden Light Array, no matter how demonic you are, you must retreat!"
However, as soon as Master Jueming's mind turned, he heard a thud from outside the small courtyard, followed by several exclamations.
Master Jueming ran out of the small courtyard in shock, and saw that there were already three monks lying on the ground outside the small courtyard, looking like they didn't know who was going on, and even the corners of one of the monks' mouth were oozing thick black blood, and even life and death were unknown.
When I looked up again, I found that the black cloud above my head had become dense again, but it was even more pressed down than just now.
Master Jueming gritted his teeth vigorously, and was about to ask the other monks to fill in the position, but suddenly heard a soft sigh from Master Zhenru in the small courtyard.
"Enlightenment."
Master Jueming hurriedly ran back to the small courtyard and came to Master Zhenru.
"Master, what do you command?"
Master Zhenru slowly opened his eyes, and his expression was a little more tired than just now.
"Pass it on, let the monks in the temple disperse, and don't add more innocent casualties."
Master Jueming was suddenly shocked: "Master! If the demon has not retreated, how can you give up easily! ”
Master Zhenru shook his head slowly: "The demon is powerful, and it is already uncontrollable. Evacuate the monks, so that they do not increase their iniquity. I'm going to stay here and keep the demons at bay and buy you some time. ”
"Master, how can we leave you alone? You can ......"
"Go ahead." Master Zhenru waved his hand and closed his eyes.
Master Jueming suddenly felt a sense of warmth around him, and when he looked at Master Zhenru again, he found that his whole person suddenly shone brightly, and at a glance, it was like a Buddha descending.
"Master!" Although Master Jueming has practiced Buddhism for many years, at this moment, when he saw that Master Zhenru had actually put on a posture of swearing to die and martyrdom, he couldn't help but feel fluctuating, and it was almost difficult for him.
On the other hand, Jueyuan's little novice on the side actually remained calm at this time, and came up to pull up Master Jueming.
"Senior Brother Jueming, the ancestor has already prepared for today, and I ask you to obey the instructions of the ancestor and immediately evacuate the monks in the temple, so as not to let the ancestor sacrifice in vain."
Master Jueming glanced at Jueyuan, calmed down, took a deep breath, and was about to take the order.
I just took two steps, and suddenly felt something different, and when I looked up, I found that in the southern sky, a pale cyan light pierced the night sky and shot straight into the black cloud overhead.
The black cloud suddenly rolled violently, as if it was a little painful after being shot by this pale cyan light.
It was really as if the master sensed something, looked up, and was slightly surprised.
"It was actually a disciple of the Qingshui Sect who came to the rescue. But this devil is not trivial, how can two juniors stop it. Jue Ming, go find these two benefactors of the Qingshui Sect, and let them retreat quickly, don't meddle in this matter, otherwise their lives will be in danger. ”
Master Jueming was a little puzzled: "Master, someone finally came to help, how could you turn it away?" Wouldn't it be a great good thing to get the help of this benefactor to suppress the demon again? ”
"If you can, of course you will. But looking at his actions, it was clear that he was a low-level disciple of the Qingshui Sect, and he had no ability to intervene. Go quickly, it is my duty to martyr the monks of Sumeru Mountain Sect to suppress the devil, and it is a big sin to implicate the children of other sects! ”
Seeing that Master Zhenru said solemnly, Master Jueming could only reluctantly accept the order.
He ordered to go down and prepare to evacuate, and at the same time personally followed the pale cyan light to find it.
In addition to Master Zhenru in the Great Bodhi Temple, only he and Jueyuan can be regarded as entering the door of cultivation, and the rest of the monks are at most only fur, but they can't even see this pale cyan light.
Seeing Master Jueming leave in a hurry, Master Zhenru exhaled lightly, looked up at the black clouds above his head, and whispered: "Amitabha", and then a dazzling golden light appeared all over his body.

"Squeak-"
The screeching brakes sounded, Xu Zhuo landed on the ground with his feet, supported the tattered second-hand bicycle he sat down with his feet, looked up at the top, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Hey, it's a big black cloud, it's even more exaggerated than that day."
Immediately, I was puzzled.
"Isn't this Baolian Mountain known as the holy land of Buddhism? Why do you always have such black clouds that don't look like a good thing? Could it be that there is actually dirt hidden in this, and it has long been degenerated and demonized? ”
The disrespectful thoughts of the thousands of monks on Baolian Mountain only swirled in Xu Zhuo's mind, and he was immediately denied by himself.
Not to mention anything else, just because I saw Master Zhenru fighting against so many black clouds with my own eyes that day, it can be seen that at least the monks of the Great Bodhi Temple have nothing to do with this black cloud.
"Then again...... Tiezhu, you told me that there are a lot of vitality polluted by filth in this place, but you didn't tell me that there are so many of them! ”
Xu Zhuo looked at the large black clouds that covered almost the entire Baolian Mountain overhead, almost covering the entire night sky, so that he couldn't even see the moonlight, and thought to himself that he just wanted to pick up some cheap, but this black cloud was terrifyingly big, and the faint aura in it made people's hearts palpitate, how could he purify it.
As soon as he heard Tie Zhu say it just now, he rode his battered second-hand bicycle for more than ten kilometers and ran over, but he didn't expect to see this kind of scene when he came, which really surprised him.
"It doesn't matter, you just need to release me, with my help, it will be easy to purify this black cloud." Tiezhu's tone was full of confidence.
"What are you kidding, it will take a lot of effort for me to just let you out, and I want you to help me purify this black cloud? You can't get me tired and lie down, right? ”
"Didn't you refine a Yuan Qi Bead just now? Just swallow it, and you'll have a decent amount of mana for a while, enough to sustain me for a while. ”
"What else can you do?" Xu was stunned. "But you just said that the mana obtained by using the Vitality Bead is only temporary, and it is useless......"
"You just need to have mana for the time being, just let me out."
Xu Zhuo patted his head: "That's right, I'm stupid all of a sudden." ”
After that, Xu Zhuo took out the vitality bead from his pocket and put it to his mouth.
"How do I take it?"
"Swallow it."
"Does this really work?"
"Really."
Xu Zhuo shook his head, hesitated slightly, threw the small Yuan Qi bead into his mouth, and swallowed it vigorously with a mouthful of spit.
As soon as the Yuan Qi Bead entered his stomach, Xu Zhuo immediately felt a strong refreshing but warm breath spread out from his stomach, instantly filling his limbs and abdomen, making his mental and physical strength climb to the peak in a blink of an eye.
What's more, this breath rushed straight up, frantically pouring into his head, and then he felt a roar in his ears, and the breath rushed into the sea of knowledge, instantly making him feel as if the whole person had a fluttering feeling.
The sea of knowledge became unprecedentedly full, Xu Zhuo just had a turn of thought, and the god list had already flown out of his eyebrows, and then it unfolded.
A pale golden light shot out from the open god list, soaring straight into the sky, deep into the black clouds.
The black cloud immediately rolled up extremely violently, and after a while, a small cloud of black aura probed down the golden light and fell straight towards the god list, but it was firmly imprisoned by the god list, and there was no way to move.
"Let's start refining." An idea came from the god list.
Xu Zhuo was stunned, and immediately reacted, and according to the method that Tie Zhu taught him just now, he refined this black qi.
Compared with just now, Xu Zhuo is undoubtedly much more proficient now, and more importantly, because he has taken the Yuan Qi Bead, he temporarily has quite abundant Yuan Qi, so refining is more relaxed.
In just two breaths, he had completely refined this mass of black qi, and there was an extra crystal transparent vitality bead in his hand.
Xu Zhuo happily put this vitality bead in his pocket and motioned to the Fengshen List to continue.
So another cloud of black qi was sucked down by the golden light from the black cloud, and then it was refined into a vitality bead by Xu Zhuo in the blink of an eye.
Xu Zhuo's refining movements are getting faster and faster, and the speed at which the Fengshen List extracts black qi from the black clouds is also getting faster and faster.
In a short time, Xu Zhuo had already refined more than a dozen Yuan Qi beads.
But at this time, he found that his vitality was obviously insufficient.
However, after glancing at the Yuan Qi Bead that had just been refined in his hand, Xu Zhuo's eyes rolled and he threw this Yuan Qi Bead directly into his mouth.
After a moment, he felt a surge of abundant vitality rushing into the sea of knowledge again.
"Haha, this is a perpetual motion machine! Again! Look at me refining all this black cloud! ”
