Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Buddha Statue
I saw that the main hall of the Buddha shrine enshrined in the Buddha is not so much the Buddha, more like a person, regardless of the figure and body shape, are the same size as ordinary people, but the face is as pale as soil, skinny as firewood, wearing a fat robe, sitting in the shrine with both hands folded, white, black, green, red, yellow five-color bells are placed in front, and there are also three incense sticks inserted in the copper furnace on the incense case, which further shows that there must be someone in the temple.
"This, could it be a dried corpse enshrined on it?"
I looked at it and said, "I do know that in some tantric temples in Shaanxi and Tibet, some monks with high cultivation will not decay after death, and later generations will put them in the Buddha shrine to worship, called the flesh Buddha, is this the flesh Buddha?"
"I think this is a dried corpse, look at his hands, only a layer of black leather is left on the bones, it turns out that the people here believe this, it's so strange!"
After Tie Zhu finished speaking, he saw the Four Heavenly Kings Protector standing on both sides, and his figure was the same as that of ordinary people, probably deliberately molded to match the image of the flesh god Buddha.
"Every nation has its own beliefs, okay, let's ignore this for now, there must be someone who has just made incense here, and he must be found!" I said, and the two of us began to search the main hall.
The whole hall is spacious and bright, in addition to the flesh Buddha and the four heavenly kings protector, there are eighteen vajra arhats lined up around, the two of them turned around, did not find anything abnormal, they wanted to walk out of the main hall, to the side halls on both sides to take a look.
At this moment, a cold laugh suddenly came from behind him: "Hehe-hey-don't you want to go out when you come in and bow down for a while?"
Since entering the village, there has not been any unfamiliar voice, and the hall has just been checked, and there is no one, so who is talking here?
Although the sound was not loud, it was like a thunderbolt ringing in our ears, and I quickly turned around to look back, and the whole hall was still the same, without any changes.
"Who? Is there anyone here? We are tourists who have come to visit, please bear with us if we are offended!"
Since there are people here, I still have to remain a tourist, and I asked three times in a row, but no one answered.
"Did you hear it wrong, didn't the voice come from the main hall? Let's go outside!"
Tie Zhu said that, just as he was about to go out, the voice sounded again: "Are you really not incense?" The voice was sharp and harsh, a little more stern than just now.
"Who?" I quickly turned around, my eyes were firmly fixed on the body of the Buddha, only to see that the eyes that were originally closed suddenly opened, revealing a pair of cold star-like eyes, looking straight at the two people in front of me, the corners of my mouth moved slightly, "Don't you go to worship when you see the deity?"
"Huh?" The two of us were taken aback when we saw the corpse-like Buddha suddenly speak, and we stood there in a daze, and it took me a while to come to my senses: "Are you a human or a ghost?"
"Hahaha!" the flesh Buddha laughed, but remained seated.
"I'm neither a human nor a ghost, I'm a Buddha, a Buddha with great powers, so you don't want to act anymore, I know your identity and the purpose of coming here, if you obediently hand over the Qinglong Wood, you can be spared from dying, otherwise you don't want to get out of here!"
As soon as these words came out, I was shocked again, how could he know that Aoki no Ki was here? Could it be that he really has magical powers, it is really too weird.
Tie Zhu didn't eat this set, immediately pulled out the painting shadow from his waist, and said loudly to this meat god and Buddha: "You don't pretend to be a god here, even if you are a god, we are not afraid of you, the green dragon wood is here with me, but if you want to take it, you have to ask me if I want to take this sword in my hand first!"
Now that the identity has been recognized, and the other party wants to snatch the wood of the green dragon, it is definitely friend or foe, there is nothing to say, catch this person first. So the iron pillar raised his sword and rushed towards the flesh Buddha.
Seeing the iron pillar rushing over, the flesh Buddha was not panicked at all, still sitting firmly in the Buddha shrine, with a dry hand like a bamboo branch, picked up the black one in the five-color bell in front of him, shook it lightly a few times, and immediately made a crisp and pleasant sound, accompanied by the bell, the four protector heavenly kings on the left side of the Buddha shrine heard the sound and moved, waving his sword to stop the iron pillar that rushed over.
"Is it a god puppet?" The iron pillar was stunned for a moment, immediately stopped, and then took out a handful of copper coins from his arms, sprinkled it on the ground and made a circular enchantment, now he is no longer the iron pillar who loves impulsiveness, through guò Hongyu Guan Gong, he already knows the power of the god puppet, seeing the stone statue next to him suddenly rush over, whether it is a god puppet or not, it is the safest way to make an enchantment as a retreat.
"Yiming, come to the enchantment!" In the face of the sudden change, I also pulled out the heavenly thorn, jumped into the enchantment, and together with my brother, stared at the actions of the Growth Heavenly King.
Seeing that the iron pillar stopped attacking, the Growth Heavenly King stood motionless in front of the Flesh Buddha with the black sword in his hand, guarding his safety.
Looking at the enchantment that the iron pillar laid out on the ground, the corners of the flesh Buddha's mouth rose slightly, "Yes, it seems that you really have some skills, but no matter what, you still can't fight my Gu people to protect the Dharma, hahaha!"
After speaking, he shook the bell in his hand again, and the Dharma Protector Heavenly King swung his sword to slash the iron pillar in the enchantment as if he had received an order.
Since it attacks the people in the enchantment, it is by no means a god puppet, so there is no need to be so afraid, so the two of us jumped out of the enchantment and fought against the Dharma Protector Heavenly King.
In this fight, I found that whether it is strength or speed, this idol is too far away from the puppet, especially the lack of flexibility, if the puppet is a freedom guardian controlled by the summoned yin spirit, then the Dharma Protector King is a marionette controlled by the sound of the bell of the Buddha in the flesh, the movement is stiff and rigid, even if the two of us are casually, it is enough to deal with it.
On the contrary, the more the Dharma Protector King fights, the more chaotic the action becomes, and the sound of the bell in the hand of the flesh Buddha is becoming more and more intense, I am secretly happy in my heart, it seems that the other party is not as powerful as I imagined, so I accelerated the speed of the attack, and with the cooperation of my brother, I finally seized an opportunity, and a sword cut off the left arm of the Dharma Protector King, and suddenly, a stream of black blood spurted out from the broken arm, it turned out that this Dharma Protector King was not a statue, but was dressed up by a real person.
Looking at the dozens of black centipedes crawling out of the severed arms on the ground, my scalp began to tingle, could it be that guy's body is full of centipedes? Is this the Gu person that the Flesh Buddha just said? It's disgusting!
"Brother, be careful, these centipedes are all poisonous!" Iron Pillar reminded loudly as he looked at the centipedes scurrying around on the ground.
At this time, the Dharma Protector Heavenly King, who had a broken arm, had a hideous face, and countless centipedes also gushed out from the wound on his left arm.
He didn't seem to feel any pain at all, and he waved the long sword in his right hand, and rushed towards me with a body of poisonous insects.
At the same time, the flesh Buddha picked up another bell and began to shake, and the wide-eyed king on the right side of the Buddha shrine moved in response, waving the giant python in his hand and heading straight for the iron pillar.
Under normal circumstances, the two of us were completely sure of winning against these two Gu people, but now there are poisonous insects everywhere, and we must fight quickly, and it will be too dangerous to be bitten if we are not careful.
I took out a talisman from my waist pocket, and then made a few gestures to my brother, and the iron pillar understood, and immediately jumped behind me.
With a talisman in my left hand and a sword in my right, I slammed into the Wide-eyed Heavenly King who was holding a python in front of me.
The flesh Buddha shook the bell in his hand, and the Wide-eyed Heavenly King waved the python in his hand and hit me from the front, and I hurriedly dodged it.
Then lean to the left while striking the amulet with your left hand.
Seeing this, the flesh Buddha laughed: "I have long been prevented from being attacked by you!"
With that, he waved the bell in his hand sharply, and the Wide-eyed Heavenly King immediately fell to the ground sideways, rolled to the side, and dodged the spell.
Seeing this, I took out another one and quickly hit another Gu person.
"You can't hit!" The flesh body Buddha laughed, and the manipulation of the severed arm Gu man also dodged the spell.
But before the laughter fell, I saw two points of blue light shoot into the bodies of the two Gu people like meteors.
In an instant, a scorching smell emanated from their bodies, and then, two blue-green flames burned outward from their bodies, and they could clearly see the poisonous insects in their bodies struggling painfully in the flames, and the scene was very cruel.
It turned out that when I took out the amulet, I deliberately let the Flesh Buddha see it, and then took the initiative to attack to attract his attention.
The iron pillar took advantage of this gap to concentrate his mind and summon the Yin and Netherworld Flames recorded in Kong Ming's Eight Laws, although he couldn't fire ten fingers in a row like Lin Guyuan, but it was still possible to fire two at the same time.
The fire of the underworld will burn if it touches the body, and it will not be extinguished if it is not burned out of its soul, it is suitable to use it to deal with this Gu man who is full of poisonous insects, but it cannot be used too much, otherwise it is easy to set fire to the body.
With the power of the iron pillar, it can only be summoned once at most.
My original intention was to let him attack with a fire spirit charm, but Tie Zhu was worried that he would not be able to achieve the effect, so he tried his best to summon Yin Huo, and at the same time, he also wanted to test the results of his cultivation.
Looking at the two Gu people who had turned into charcoal, the face of the flesh Buddha changed, and he put down the two bells in his hand and picked up two new bells from the front.
"It seems that I underestimated your abilities, hmph, you guys get ready, I'm going to start attacking with all my might!"
After speaking, he shook the bell in his hand, and the crisp bell sounded again.
The two of us didn't care about this qiē, and stood in the middle of the hall very easily, as if admiring the pleasant ringtone.
The other two Dharma Protector Heavenly Kings on the left and right of the Buddha shrine were like stone carvings made of mud, not moving at all, and did not reflect the bell of the flesh Buddha, which made him shocked and began to shake the bell in his hand vigorously, but it still had no effect.
"Old goblin, don't shake the two bells in your hands anymore, it's useless to shake them, those two Dharma protectors of yours have been captured by us, I advise you to surrender quickly!"
Looking at the surprised appearance of the physical Buddha, the two of us laughed.
It turned out that when I used the Stamulet to attack the Gu people just now, one of its purposes was to attract the attention of the Flesh Buddha, and the other purpose was to prevent the Flesh Buddha from activating the other two Dharma Protector Heavenly Kings.
That's why he rushed forward regardless of a single moment, in order to find the right angle to launch the talisman.
Sure enough, the Flesh Buddha thought that he had seen through my plan, and accused the two Gu people to skillfully avoid the immobilization talisman, and just when he was proud, the two charms had been silently pasted on the bodies of the other two Dharma Protector Heavenly Kings.
Therefore, no matter how loud the bell sounded, the two Gu people still did not move.
"Hehe, old goblin, I advise you to surrender quickly, your little trick is useless in front of the master, hurry up and tell us your identity and the whereabouts of the red sand lantern, and you will not die, otherwise we will not blame us for bullying you!"
I pointed my sword at the physical Buddha who was still sitting firmly in the shrine and said sharply.
