Master comes down the mountain, I don’t know martial arts, but I am an immortal

Lin Manqing didn't expect Huideng was talking about her, and said with a smile: "Master, how do you know that I will help you and not him?"

Xingkong also said: "Yes, Master, she is a female devil. It was she who killed Junior Brother Xiankong, and the magic formation of Qianfogou was also destroyed."

"Amitabha, Xingkong, don't talk nonsense. This female donor looks so kind, how could she be a female devil?" Huideng said.

Xingkong wanted to explain himself, but due to the current situation and the old wizard's majesty, he finally stopped talking. He just looked at Lin Manqing with eyes full of questions, and the cymbals in his hands were ready to attack at any time.

Lin Manqing just smiled without saying anything, showing no intention of taking any action.

She didn't want to take sides before she had a clear understanding of the situation.

Luo Shihao was the person that Mingpu suggested Li Muchen to take in, so from this point of view, she should save Luo Shihao. But Luo Shihao's magic was a bit like a soul-calling flag, which was too insidious. Lin Manqing was not very willing to send such a person to Li Muchen, so as not to damage Li Muchen's merits.

Although Mingpu is loyal to Li Muchen, he is not a good person either, so it is not necessary to save Mingpu's people.

Moreover, the Hades Servant had arranged all this thousands of years ago, which aroused suspicion. However, Li Muchen did not say anything, and Lin Manqing was not in a position to say it either.

So she decided to take another look to see whether she should help the monk or Luo Shihao.

Seeing that Lin Manqing did not move, Huideng said, "Lady donor, since you have come to the Buddha Mountain, why don't you worship the Buddha and ignore the ghosts?"

Lin Manqing laughed and said, "You have to worship Buddha when you go to Foshan? What's the difference between this and highway robbery? Robbers rob people of their money, you rob people of their faith. Oh, no, you burn incense in a temple and donate money in a hall, you rob them of both their money and their faith!"

Hui Deng laughed: "What a eloquent lady! If you don't want to worship Buddha, I can't force you to do it, but have you seen these souls suffer and perish in the light of the sun?"

Lin Manqing said: "If you don't cast a spell, won't they be free from suffering?"

"If I don't cast a spell, Luo Shihao will escape."

"Who told you to trap it here? Why don't you just put it back where it came from?"

"The donor is wrong. We are not the ones who trapped him here."

"Who are you if not you?"

"He came here on his own."

"He came here by himself?" Lin Manqing didn't think the old monk was talking nonsense, so she became curious, "He ran to Mount Wutai by himself and trapped himself in the living prison?"

"Since the female donor knows about the prison of life, do you know its origin?" Huideng asked.

Lin Manqing shook her head: "What's the origin?"

"The living trap is the place where the living souls fall, and the prison is the place where the evil dogs guard."

Huideng told the story while casting spells to control the clouds in the sky.

"It is said that the ancient demon king, the Black Water Ghost King, in order to open a path to the underworld from the human world, captured living people and detained their souls before they died. This is called a living soul. The method of detaining a living soul is a taboo in the way of heaven, but the power of a living soul is a hundred times stronger than that of a dead soul, and it can communicate with the netherworld and sense the underworld. Over the years, the ghost king has accumulated millions of living souls here, and their resentment is almost unstoppable."

"The heavens ravaged this place with thunderbolts. The ancient Buddha, moved by the suffering of millions of souls, brought a twelve-level lotus platform, took the place of all living beings, endured the thunderbolts, and passed away in the Qingliang Mountain. From then on, the sky and the sea became clear, and the souls trapped in the prison were transformed by the lotus platform, slowly overcoming their suffering and eliminating their resentment."

"More than a thousand years ago, the two brothers Luo Shihao and Luo Shijie came to Mount Wutai and went deep into the Prison of Life, attempting to restore the ghost king's journey and open up the Yin and Yang worlds. Fortunately, the ancient Buddha was reincarnated, and the King of Light and the Pure Light Goddess came from the West and suppressed Luo Shihao and Luo Shijie in the Prison of Life and Yesanpo respectively. They also built many temples in Mount Wutai, and the five peaks were connected. They also carved a thousand Buddha statues on the cliffs of Yesanpo, borrowed the veins of Taihang and Yanshan, and echoed with Mount Wutai, becoming one."

Lin Manqing frowned when she heard this.

This old monk didn't seem to be talking nonsense. It could be connected with many things she already knew.

More than five years ago, when she and Li Muchen first came to the capital, Li Muchen and Hou Qigui fought against the Black Water Ghost King in the underground of Qianfogou and got the Nether Black Water Flag. If what the old monk said was true, then the Black Water Ghost King in the underground should not be the real Black Water Ghost King, but Luo Shihao's younger brother Luo Shijie.

The Goddess of Pure Light is the Wu Zetian of that time, and Wu Zetian did build many temples in Mount Wutai.

Could the ancient Buddha that Li Chengzhong often mentioned be the ancient Buddha mentioned by Master Huideng? He had passed away, but he might have left behind a magic weapon. Li Chengzhong's goal was to obtain the ancient Buddha's magic weapon, which might require the statue of the Pure Light Goddess or the Pure Light Goddess technique to activate.

When you think about it this way, these things connect.

If the old monk did not lie, then Lin Manqing would have no choice but to help him today.

But Lin Manqing still needs to confirm some things.

"Master, according to what you said, the Thousand Buddha Valley and the Wutai Mountain formation are connected. Your Five Peaks Chain Formation was broken because the Thousand Buddha Valley was destroyed first?"

"That's right. If the Thousand Buddha Valley had not been destroyed, no matter how hard the Netherworld Bell was struck, it would not have reversed." Hui Deng said, "It was you who destroyed the Thousand Buddha Valley, so, female donor, this is your cause, and you will also bear the consequences."

"Is this the reason why you are sure that I will help you?" Lin Manqing asked.

"Amitabha, this is the cause and effect of the female donor, but whether you help or not is not determined by cause and effect, it only depends on your good thoughts." Huideng said.

“Hahahaha!” Laughter rang out from the clouds in the sky. “Old bald donkey, what you said is useless! Mount Wutai is really becoming more and more decadent. It would have been fine if a woman came here more than a thousand years ago. After all, she was the Goddess of Pure Light, carrying the Wheel of the Dharma King of Light, so she was considered a member of your Buddhist school. This woman obviously doesn’t believe in Buddhism. Aren’t you bald Buddhists asking for help from outsiders instead of the Lingshan Mountain? Hahaha! I want to see what this woman is capable of! If she has the guts, she can destroy all the millions of souls trapped in the prison. Hahaha, I wonder how many purple thunderbolts you can withstand, hahaha!”

The cloud was still fighting against the golden light, and the golden edge on the outside was getting thinner and thinner. It was obvious that Monk Huideng had tried his best.

At this time, Huideng no longer spoke, but concentrated on chanting mantras and casting spells.

The black fog surging in the valley bottom continued to float up, forming dozens of black ribbons connected below the clouds.

Lin Manqing looked at the looming figure of Luo Shihao in the dark clouds and suddenly asked, "Luo Shihao, do you know Mingpu?"

"What?" The cloud shook violently a few times. "Who are you? How do you know... Could it be... that you are the one he wants me to wait for? Impossible... Impossible! How could you be a woman?"

"What's wrong with you woman? What did the underworld servant tell you?"

"The servant of the underworld said that I should wait in the prison of life and accumulate strength. One day, the Holy Lord will come to save me. When the time comes, I will bring a hundred thousand underworld soldiers with me, and together with the Holy Lord, I will kill everyone in the world, kill into the underworld sea, kill on Kunlun, and I will be the only one in the sky, on the ground, in the three realms and in the two rivers!"

Luo Shihao seemed to be very excited as he spoke. The dark clouds rolled even more violently, and the clouds in the valley below became more turbulent. More black mist floated up, entered the cloud where he was, and turned into evil spirits.

It seemed that Monk Huideng was at the end of his strength and was about to die.

Lin Manqing sighed: "As I expected, Mingpu is a loyal servant, but also an evil servant. He will never understand Muchen's way."

She took out the purple cloud jade and waved it towards the sky.

Purple clouds from the Heavenly Witch spread across the sky, enveloping the dark clouds...
