Chapter 68: Chong'en Zhenjun
In the view of Yuntai in Shudi, Zhou Cheng has not been out of retreat since returning from Taoyuan Village.
And after a lapse of several years, when Zhou Cheng once again comprehended the two classics of "Lianshan" and "Returning to Tibet", he had some inexplicable different insights than a few years ago.
Originally, those tricks that Zhou Cheng didn't understand were no longer so confused.
When Zhou Cheng recalled that day when he was smashed by the Heavenly Providence Robbery Knife, the breath of the Heavenly Providence Robbery Knife had been deeply imprinted in his Yuan Shen thoughts, a kind of thing that Zhou Cheng understood as cause and effect, if there is nothing, and the core of the two classics of "Lianshan" and "Returning to Tibet" seems to finally point to this cause and effect.
Just as Zhou Cheng was in retreat, the war in the north intensified, and most of the area north of the Yellow River fell to the alien iron cavalry, and endless slaughter swept the entire northern land.
In just a few years, the Xiongnu continued to invade south.
The bones are exposed in the wilderness, and there are mass graves everywhere.......
The severity of this war, which was waged by an alien invasion, far surpassed that of the Eight Kings Rebellion, and the Han people who died the most were naturally the Han people.
After the slaughter of foreign races swept in, countless cities and villages were destroyed, and a small number of Han Chinese who survived were reduced to slavery and lived like walking corpses, and then Buddhist temples rose up in these fallen northern lands.
In the north of Chang'an, there is a Jin army of nearly 10,000 people is marching further north, this is the last Jin army north of Chang'an, and it is also the Jin army with the strongest combat effectiveness near Chang'an, and the leaders of this army are the two brothers Lu Ji and Lu Yun.
"Brother, we are now alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve a big thing with only these 10,000 people......" Lu Yun rode a horse beside Lu Ji, both of them are now over forty years old, three strands of long hair fluttering in the wind, two temples are gray, and they have long since lost the appearance of a teenager when Jiangdong was gone.
"We went north to the Shuofang area, which was the hinterland of the Huns, and only in this way could the Xiongnu army return to the north without seeking victory...... But please buy time for the pothos fairy and them to set up a big array. Lu Ji stared at the north, his tone was a little heavy, and he lacked the light momentum of the past.
When Lu Yun heard this, he fell silent, and his face became very ugly.
The whole army of 10,000 men marched on, except for the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps, and the sound of flags hunting in the north wind.
After walking for a few more miles, Lu Yun opened his mouth again and asked, "Can the Jiuqu Yellow River Array block Manjushri?"
"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it....." Lu Ji glanced back behind him, and then sighed.
It seems that he is not optimistic about his side, but in his heart there is a determination that he must do even if he dies.
At this moment, in the sky above the Yellow River on the line of Chang'an and Luoyang, there are more than ten particularly huge primordial gods in the void, these primordial gods are as high as dozens of zhang, and they are distributed on the Yellow River between Chang'an and Luoyang.
These more than ten primordial gods are all Taiyi Xuan Immortals with three-color canopies on their heads, and the most conspicuous of them is the green pothos fairy in the green pothos blessed land.
Now the pothos fairy not only has three flowers on his head, but there is also a green Yimu qi flowing in the chest of the primordial god, and the qi of Yimu is endless, making the pothos fairy's momentum far exceed that of other Taiyi Xuan Immortals.
This is exactly the sign that the pothos fairy has begun to refine the five qi in the chest, and has already refined the wood attribute of the five elements.
On the Yellow River, in addition to these more than ten Taiyi Xuan Immortals, there are no less than 30 Yuan Gods, but the three flowers on the heads of these Yuan Gods have not gathered, indicating that these are only in the Yuan Shen realm, and have not yet reached the realm of Taiyi Xuan Immortals.
More than a dozen Taiyi Xuan Immortals, more than 30 Yuan Shen powerhouses, almost all the high-end combat power of the entire Daomen have gathered on the Yellow River, and everyone knows that a showdown between Buddhism and Taoism is about to unfold in the Yellow River.
Lu Ji's army had moved away from Chang'an and was stationed next to a large lake, and now the night was long gone, and the faint moonlight was much dimmer than before, and he couldn't see his fingers at night.
At nightfall, by the lake, the two brothers Lu Ji and Lu Yun stood near the lake, but they did not stay in the camp.
The two brothers were standing by the lake when suddenly two voices came from overhead.
"The ...... between the mountains and lakes
"A good place to bury bones....."
The two voices are somewhat similar, but they are clearly from two different people, one and the same person.
As the voice fell, two people had already appeared behind Lu Ji and Lu Yun.
These two people are dressed in bright yellow monk robes, their feet are not touching the ground between walking, there are lotus flowers blooming under their feet, the canopy of the three colors on their heads hangs down, and the faint Buddha light appears on their bodies.
"Bodhisattva disciple. ”
"Kanaham"
"Detention Tower"
"I am here to send the two out of the sea of suffering......"
Except for the two monks who opened their respective mouths when they reported their names, the other two sentences were spoken at the same time, with synchronized voices and consistent intonation.
"I heard that there are seven disciples under Manjushri, why are only two of them coming?" Lu Ji slowly turned around, and at the same time, a voice sounded, and he asked the two monks calmly.
He turned around and took another step forward, and as a brother, he stood in front of Lu Yun.
"The bodhisattva's compassion not only helps the two of you to get out of the sea of suffering, but also several donors will also feel the bodhisattva's compassion!" said the monk named Kannaham, who folded his hands.
"Hmph..... is worthy of being a high disciple of Buddhism, and you can say such shameless words, you are quite worthy of your master's true inheritance. Lu Ji said with a look of disdain.
The words of Kannahan are good, but in fact, Manjushri also sent several other disciples to eradicate others.
And Jian Nahan and Jian Lou Sun came to kill Lu Ji and Lu Yun.
There are seven disciples under the seat of Manjushri Bodhisattva, each of whom has cultivated to the Arhat Fruit Rank, and there are even a few of them who have refined one or two Five Elements Qi and are moving towards the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
"Brother, if there is an afterlife, I hope it can still be your brother. Lu Yun fell behind Lu Ji, and he looked at Lu Ji's back, still full of admiration as he had been decades ago.
Just as Lu Yun spoke, the Yuan Shen above his head flew out, but after the Yuan Shen appeared, he didn't make any moves, but his body pulled out the sword at his waist again, and then drew the sword without hesitation and killed himself.
Lu Ji naturally clearly felt what was happening behind him, but at this time, he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping Lu Yun, he just lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly. Let the long sword behind him slash through Lu Yun's neck, and then a pillar of blood spurted up, and the blood was like a pillar, spurting straight to the primordial spirit above his head.
Lu Yun's physical body was soon cut off, but the primordial spirit on the top of his head was infused with blood, and the original image that was indistinguishable from the main body began to change greatly, and soon became a military general with a fierce face, a bare face and beard, a golden whip, and a golden armor and red robe.
Lu Ji's face was sad, and he suddenly looked up at Ku Nahan and Ku Lou Sun, with obvious hatred in his eyes.
As Lu Ji raised his head, his Yuan Shen also appeared behind him.
It's just that when his primordial god appeared, Lu Yun's primordial god, which had changed its appearance, fell straight down and merged into Lu Ji's primordial god, and the two primordial gods instantly merged, and then the thunder roared among the primordial gods, the flames were raging, and a momentum that surpassed the Taiyi Xuanxian broke out from the primordial gods.
This is the first time that two primordial gods have fused, and the fused primordial gods are neither the appearance of Lu Ji nor Lu Yun, nor even the appearance of Lu Yun's primordial gods, but have become a middle-aged Taoist holding a golden whip, wearing a dark blue Dao robe, and immortal wind Dao bones.
As soon as this human primordial god appeared, Zhou Tian was full of thunder, and after his primordial god, there was a void and a fire, as if he was the god who controlled the thunder and flames.
"Chong'en Zhenjun...... You could have been at ease, why bother to learn that crape myrtle, and be willing to be trapped in this realm, and in the end, you will not be able to escape death?"
"The Tao is different, do not conspire with each other, if you only want to be at ease, then you will be called an immortal god, and you can't protect all beings, what is the meaning of cultivating the Tao to become an immortal?" Chong'en Zhenjun's voice seemed to contain thunder, and when he spoke, the thunder in the sky was even more violent, and there were endless thunder and lightning everywhere, lighting up the entire sky.
"Nine Heavens God Thunder...... Huanghuang Tianwei ...... Endless Fire ..... Exorcise evil spirits and dispel charms...... "Chong'en Zhenjun pointed the golden whip in his hand at the sky, and there were words in his mouth, as if the thunder and fire between heaven and earth had been summoned by him, and they were surging towards the golden whip.
"It's a pity..... Under the blockade of the Heavenly Dao, the true monarch is no longer what it used to be......" Jian Nahan and Jian Lou Sun sighed.
The two of them were not afraid of the endless thunder and fire, and when they spoke, the Arhat Law clapped their hands, and two golden rays of light shot towards Chong'en Zhenjun, and where the golden light passed, the thunder and flames dissipated, shooting directly towards Chong'en Zhenjun's Yuan Shen Face Gate.
"Boom ......" As the golden light shot towards the face of Chong'en Zhenjun, the head of the Yuan Shen was directly shattered by the golden light.
However, after Chong'en Zhenjun Yuan Shen lost his head, his Yuan Shen did not dissipate, but continued to raise his arm, stretched out a finger, and pointed heavily towards Jian Nahan and Jian Lou Sun.
"Boom ......" shot out again with golden light, and Chong'en Zhenjun's arm was shattered.
One arm was gone, and his arm holding the golden whip waved again, continuing to attack the two monks.
People in the world often say that they never die, but Chong'en Zhenjun is now dying, I don't know if he is still conscious, maybe his Yuan Shen is still doing these at the moment, but his purest obsession.
It seems that Kan Nahan and Ku Lou Sun didn't expect Chong'en Zhenjun to be like this, at this moment, as enemies, they were also slightly moved in their hearts, and then the two of them skyrocketed, and under the heavy pressure of the two golden light hands, Chong'en Zhenjun's incomplete Yuan Shen finally disappeared completely.
The 10,000 Jin troops led by Lu Ji, although they were heavily guarded, did not notice what was happening outside the Dao camp from beginning to end, until the next day, a Xiongnu army suddenly appeared, and they found that their commander had died in the tent.
Then, when the army was leaderless, after another tragic battle, the Jin army ended in annihilation.
When Kan Nahan and Ku Lou Sun found Lu Ji Lu Yun, a similar scene also happened near Chang'an and Luoyang, and there were as many as three or four such places.
