Chapter 998: The Guardian of the Western Desert Immortal Died
Looking at the Brahma Monarch's seemingly kind eyes, but in fact his murderous appearance, the Heavenly Punishment Monarch narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at the Brahma Monarch, as if he was constantly considering. After a long time, the Heavenly Punishment Monarch gritted his teeth fiercely and said to the Brahma Monarch, "Okay, good! Brahma Monarch, there is really you." I thought that my Heavenly Punishment Monarch had been crisscrossing the sea of stars for endless years, but I didn't expect to be put on a table by you in the end. Today I consider myself unlucky, and I didn't recognize your true colors earlier. But don't be complacent too early, do you think that old monk Yanbei will give away the opportunity of the Golden Sky Temple because of your temporary rebellion? You are too naΓ―ve! Since you can betray the Great Monarch today, he will definitely be able to betray Yanbei and the Huaxia cultivators one day. Today, I have written down this hatred, and since then there are only eleven monarchs of the Flood Desolation. And when I make a comeback again, it will be the end of you and these Huaxia ants, and I will definitely make you pay!"
"Amitabha, Heavenly Punishment Monarch, it seems that you still haven't understood what Lao Gu is thinking. Before, I was blinded by the chaotic world of red dust and forgot my identity, I was originally a little novice wandering in the sea of stars, but I delusionally thought that I could get the opportunity to go against the world that did not belong to me, and this kind of mind has fallen into inferiority. And before the great monk of Yanbei took me to understand the suffering of mortal worlds, but I was still obsessed. Now it is this sage who has passed on the mind of the Buddha that has made me find my original intention, let me understand what I should do, and I also understand my own nature. Are you worried that I will covet the opportunity of the Western Desert as much as you do? You are wrong, although the opportunity in the world is tempting, it is only a passing cloud for me, and in a hundred years, everything will be dust. The things you value have long been out of my sight, so you should stop trying to provoke the relationship between me and the sentient beings in China. The Brahma Monarch shook his head lightly and said lightly.
"Hmph, then let's go and see!Hui Chao, Shangguan Hongzhi, Cheng Shi, let's go!" Seeing that the Brahma Monarch really didn't seem to care about his own provocations, the Heavenly Punishment Monarch had no choice but to clench his steel teeth and roar. In the end, he turned his head to look at Hui Chao and the others, and together with the forces of all parties, he left in embarrassment towards the far sky.
Seeing that the Heavenly Punishment Monarch had fled, the Brahma Monarch shook his head, a trace of indifference crossed his eyes. Then, he walked in front of Yan Bei, knelt down on his knees in the surprised eyes of everyone, and said to Yan Bei reverently: "Master Yan Bei, my Buddha has a lost heart, does not know good and evil, and has committed all kinds of heinous evil deeds before. Today, after the master's enlightenment, I am like the beginning of a dream. I swear that from now on, I will no longer regard myself as the monarch of the flood wilderness, and I hope that the master can ignore the past suspicions, let me stay in the Western Desert to be an ordinary little novice, I am willing to serve the master for the rest of my life, understand the Dharma, and hope that the master will be perfected. β
Seeing the actions of the Brahma Sovereign, everyone was taken aback. You must know that this Brahma Monarch is the strongest person who has obtained the Brahma Godhead! If one day the Brahma Monarch awakens, he will inevitably become a Buddhist saint and dominate the sea of stars. But it is really unexpected that such a strong man actually bowed to Yanbei and worshipped. Of course, although the Brahma monarch had a pious and respectful attitude, there were still the vast majority of Chinese cultivators who frowned slightly and doubted in their hearts. Because after all, the Brahma Monarch was one of the twelve monarchs of the Flood Desolation, and it is really unacceptable that he is now so easily out of the command of the Great Monarch.
The Brahma Monarch's cultivation was so high that even the Western Desert Guardian Yan Bei was no match for him. Now this Buddhist Immortal Venerable suddenly said that he wanted to bow down under the door of Yan Compassion, and no one dared to believe it. They were afraid, fearing that the Brahma monarch was a false defector. If the truth is as everyone guesses, I am afraid that everyone's acceptance of the Brahma monarch will be tantamount to raising a tiger. However, for Yan Bei, Ling Yu, Yan Suyi, Jiang Rong and others, they chose to believe in the Brahma monarch. In fact, the reason is very simple, because the Brahma monarch's face is calm, and there is no trace of pretentiousness. The most important thing is that they understand the truth better, that is, the cultivation of the Brahma monarch. Because the cultivation of the Brahma Monarch is much higher than that of the Sorrowful and Heavenly Punishment Monarchs, if he is acting, it is logically inconsistent. He can obviously level the Western Desert with the Heavenly Punishment Monarch, there is no need to turn against the water at such a time. Moreover, even if the Brahma Monarch really had two hearts and didn't want the Heavenly Punishment Monarch to get the opportunity of the Western Desert, he could also kill Yan Bei and the others after forcing the Heavenly Punishment Monarch away. However, none of this happened. As a supreme being who can suppress everyone, there is no need to speak falsely to the cultivators in Huaxia at such a time.
Therefore, many of the older generation cultivators present and several young cultivators with bright minds nodded their heads and secretly rejoiced when they saw the actions of the Brahma Sovereign. In any case, the Brahma monarch is also a generation of immortal deities. If he joins the camp of Huaxia cultivators, it will inevitably make Huaxia like a tiger with wings and his strength skyrocket.
At this time, Yan Bei had already stopped the blood from the wound through the elixir handed to him by Ling Yu, but his face was still very pale. Seeing the actions of the Brahma monarch, Yan Bei stood up with the support of An Luoyan. He walked up to the Brahma monarch and picked him up. Then, Yan Bei patted the Brahma monarch on the shoulder, and said in a serious voice: "The Brahma monarch doesn't have to be like this, you can comprehend the Buddha's heart and truly awaken the godhead, this is your chance, and it has nothing to do with us." As for your desire to worship under my door, it is even more tormenting to the old man. Like you, I'm just a little novice in Buddhism. But ......" Speaking of this, Yan Bei suddenly stopped talking, he turned his head to look at An Luoyan, his eyes flashed with a complicated look, and finally as if he had made up his mind, he said to Brahma Monarch Zhengse: "However, Lao Wei really wants to ask for your help in something, and I hope you agree." β
"Master, please tell me, although I am not a holy monk with profound Buddhism, I am also true to my word, and I can be regarded as a prodigal son who has lost his way and returned home. If the master needs me, please ask the master to give me orders, and I will definitely go to the soup!" said the Brahma monarch with his palms folded and bowed to Yan Bei.
"How dare I have any orders to the Brahma Monarch, but there is only one thing to ask for. After Yan Bei finished speaking, he pulled An Luoyan in front of him and continued to the Brahma Monarch: "You also saw just now that Lord An Shi is a descendant of the Buddha with the heart of the Buddha, and you and I are both from the Buddhist sect, so we naturally know what the meaning of her identity is. But...... Ahem......" Speaking of this, Yan Bei suddenly coughed violently, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and when he took off the handkerchief, it was already covered with blood. However, Yan Bei did not make a noise, but quietly hid the handkerchief in his sleeve. He took a deep breath, suppressed the sharp pain in his heart, and continued: "We know the importance of Lord An, and presumably the Great Monarch and others must also know. Whether or not Lord An Shi can become a disciple of Buddhism in the end is her freedom, and how to choose is also up to her. I just hope that you can become her defender, whether I am still alive or not, and whether she chooses to take refuge in my Buddha or not, you will be able to guard her and keep her safe. You are a Buddhist Immortal, and I can rest assured with you. I still count the things I promised you before, and from tomorrow, you can pick and choose the opportunities of the Golden Sky Temple at will, and give them all away. β
"Amitabha, what is the master saying. Now that I have an epiphany, I will no longer have any delusions about the opportunity of the Golden Sky Temple. Don't say that you have the opportunity of the Golden Sky Temple for me to choose, even if you give me the entire Golden Sky Temple, I will not take a single cent. As for the matter of the Ann Shi, please rest assured, Master Brahma, I swear to the Buddha that if I do not die in this life, I will definitely protect the Ann Shih, and if I disobey, I will be sent to the Infernal Hell, and I will not be reincarnated forever. Hearing Yan Bei's words as if he were confessing his last words, the Brahma monarch suddenly had a bad premonition, as if he had sensed something.
"In that case, I'm relieved. Hearing the words of the Brahma Sovereign, Yan Bei bowed to the Brahma Sovereign. Then, he turned his head to look at An Luoyan, with a hint of respect in his expression, and said, "Lord Anshi, the old man has something to say to you, and I ask you to follow me to the Golden Sky Temple." β
Hearing Yan Bei's words, An Luoyan turned his head to look at Ji Luosheng and Jiang Rong, and then at Ling Yu on the side, not knowing how to choose. Before, she was ordered to be in danger, and promised that Yan Bei would help him drive away the Heavenly Punishment Monarch, if the Punishment Monarch has been forced to retreat by the Brahma Monarch today, what is the matter with Yan Bei looking for herself?
"Luo Yan, you still listen to Master Yanbei's words and follow him to the Golden Sky Temple. The master is a highly respected monk, there must be something he wants to tell you, this is your chance, go. Ji Luosheng saw the confusion in An Luoyan's eyes, nodded with a chuckle, and said to An Luoyan.
Seeing that Ji Luosheng agreed to go to the Golden Sky Temple with Yan Bei, An Luoyan could only bow to Yan Bei and said respectfully: "Since this is the case, please also ask the master to lead the way." An Luoyan didn't know what Yan Bei was looking for her, but seeing the gloom in Yan Bei's eyes, An Luoyan seemed to have a premonition.
Seeing that An Luoyan decided to go to the Golden Sky Temple with him, a ray of relief crossed his sad eyes. He looked up at Jiang Rong and Ji Luosheng again, and said softly: "If the Punishment Monarch is forced to leave today, he will probably not come back in a short time." The master of Yan'an needs to reorganize Xuanmiao'an, so naturally he can't get out. Then Pavilion Master Jiang and Pavilion Master Ji might as well go with me, Lao Wei also has something to tell the two of you. As for the Brahma Monarch, please keep it at the Xuan Miao Temple. As a Honghuang Immortal Venerable, although the Heavenly Punishment Monarch was coerced by you to go, but just in case, I am more relieved that you are still sitting in Xuanmiao'an. β
Yan Bei is the guardian of the Western Desert, and everyone naturally agrees with his words. So, after Yan Bei explained, he galloped towards the far sky with Jiang Rong, Ji Luosheng and An Luoyan. The temple is located in the west of the temple and can be reached in half an hour by foot of four people.
When the four of them came to the Golden Sky Temple, Yan Bei first asked An Luoyan to rest in the inner hall of the Golden Sky Temple, but he found Jiang Rong and Ji Luosheng to talk secretly. The three of them talked secretly for about half an hour, and no one knew what they were talking about, but when they walked out of the room, Ji Luosheng and Jiang Rong's eyes were red, as if they were extremely sad. After leaving the room, Yan Bei bowed deeply to Jiang Rong and Ji Luosheng, with a faint look on his face. And Ji Luosheng and Jiang Rong, when they saw Yan Bei's actions, burst into tears again, and their hearts seemed to be blocked by a stone.
After Yan Bei left Jiang Rong and Ji Luosheng, he walked straight towards the inner hall. Jiang Rong and Ji Luosheng stayed outside the main hall. They looked at each other, and they both saw the unbearable in each other's eyes. Through the secret conversation just now, the two of them have more respect for Yanbei, and at the same time, they also regret Yanbei even more.
"Lord Anshi, have you been waiting for a long time? The reason why Lao Wei invited you to come to the Golden Sky Temple this time is because there is one thing I want you to agree. You are the successor of the Buddha mind of the Mystic Dharma, and that cannot be changed. You are still alive, and the old man can understand it, so I will not ask you to take refuge in Buddhism. However, I am running out of time. Although I had a premonition when I was discussing with the Brahma Monarch before, but when I fought with the Heavenly Punishment Monarch today, I knew that the doom of my fate was today. I am the guardian of the Western Desert, and I have been alone all my life, and I have no disciples. And you are the sage of the Miaofa Buddha's heart, so the old man decided to pass on all his cultivation and spiritual power to you. Of course, you don't need to have any burden, whether you escape into the empty door or not is your freedom, Lao Wei just hopes that if the West Desert is invaded by thieves one day, Lord An Shi can help the West Desert cultivators, and this is enough. Yan Bei said softly.
When Yan Bei finished speaking, he directly put his palms together, and a bright golden light burst out of his eyes. Suddenly, the wind rose on the ground, and a golden lotus transformed at the feet of Yan Bei. At the same time, the swastika glittered in the sky, reflecting him more and more majestic. Yan Bei stared at An Luoyan tightly, and with a flick of his palms, those runes and golden divine rays enveloped An Luoyan in it. And in the process, An Luoyan didn't even have time to say no. In her opinion, Yan Bei really seemed to be about to end, so she was so anxious that she didn't give herself any chance to refute.
When the golden divine light and swastika characters wrapped An Luoyan's smoke, the golden lotus mark at the center of her eyebrows resurfaced. She could feel the boundless power of Buddhism pouring into her body, purifying it like nirvana, wanting her to break out of the cocoon and be reborn. And she was powerless to resist and could only bear it silently. Finally, a wave of tiredness came over her, and An Luoyan fell into a deep sleep......
I don't know how long it has been, maybe it's an hour, maybe it's a day, maybe it's even a month. In short, when An Luoyan woke up again, the golden mangs and swastikas around her had disappeared, and the golden lotus mark at the center of her eyebrows had disappeared at some point. An Luoyan looked around and found Yan Bei sitting in front of him, his white beard hanging down his chest, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep. Yan Bei's expression was very flat, and there was even a hint of satisfaction and relief at the corners of his mouth. When he saw Yan's sad state, An Luoyan's tears could no longer be suppressed. She clutched her lips tightly, clenched her silver teeth, and wept bitterly. Because she already knew that this kind old man had already sat down.
