Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

Qi Xiu raised his eyes slightly as he looked at the name the old monk wrote on the ground.

"Master, could you please explain it more clearly?"

“Haha, of course you can. Since I can foresee that the True Lord will be the one who can help me break the impasse, I can naturally use my destiny to learn the rest.

I know this person is very important to the True Lord, and he is in trouble now.

If you are willing to help me fulfill my last wish, I can help this person out of this predicament."

With his hands clasped together, the old monk spoke slowly, his eyes lowered so that his expression could not be seen clearly.

After hearing what the old monk said, Qi Xiu raised his head slightly and looked down at this extremely mysterious old monk:

"Master, do you know who this person is?"

"Of course I know that. He is the current supreme leader of the Shenxiao Sect, Dongfang Qing." The old monk replied.

"Then may I ask, Master, how can a deceased person like you help the Supreme Master of our Yuanshen Realm?"

Facing Qi Xiu's sharp question, the old monk was not surprised, he just chuckled and said:

"Don't worry, Master Zhen, monks don't tell lies. Since I said I can help this Master Zhen, I won't break my promise."

"How can I trust you without any evidence?"

“Buddha has mercy on me. Before I passed away, I wanted to use my last bit of strength to reach the realm of the True Spirit.

But just when I was about to use up all my strength, I met someone.

This person told me that as long as I was willing to seal myself into the altar, merge my mind and soul with the eighteen levels of hell, and continue to persevere, there would be hope of tracing my Taoist lineage back to its roots.

At that time, the old monk also asked the man, how can I trust you without any evidence?

And that person only replied me one sentence.

Are you willing to believe that there is a glimmer of hope between heaven and earth?

The old monk believed what the man said and used all his strength to activate his destiny-seeing ability. He indeed vaguely saw a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough, so he waited here for tens of thousands of years, and finally the True Lord came.

Today, I also present these words to the True Lord.

Are you willing to believe that there is a glimmer of hope in this world?"

The old monk's words echoed in the eighteen levels of hell. His calm and frank question moved Qi Xiu a little.

A glimmer of hope?

Silently looking at the calm expression of the old monk in front of him, Qi Xiu tried to find a hint of answer from his face.

However, tens of thousands of years of hard work and practice have already allowed this old monk to reach the pinnacle of spiritual charm.

Under Qi Xiu's gaze, the old monk's figure continued to expand, and finally merged faintly with the huge Buddha statue in the Buddhist hall.

Suddenly, this small temple was filled with golden light. The old monk's face looked compassionate, his eyes showed mercy and tolerance, his body was surrounded by infinite Buddha light, he wore a crown on his head, a cassock on his body, and held a jewel in his left hand and a staff in his right hand.

The old dog with all its hair lost at its feet was transformed into a mysterious auspicious beast with a head, a single horn, dog ears, a dragon body, a lion tail, and unicorn feet under the illumination of the Buddha's light. It had a powerful and strong aura, and it overpowered the ancient mysterious auspicious beast.

It was as if he had become a living Buddha.

Waves of Sanskrit chanting echoed in Qi Xiu's ears. Swaying golden lotuses continued to grow in the bluestone and mud caves. The long and vicissitudes of life conch sounded continuously. The golden lotuses continued to grow, emitting infinite vitality. The lotus leaves slowly turned from virtual to real as they swayed, and endless Buddha light was cast down.

Looking at the eighteen levels of hell that had transformed into a Buddhist kingdom in an instant, Qi Xiu slowly raised his eyes to look at the living Buddha with infinite compassion in front of him, and slowly uttered a word:

"Mind becomes a master?"

The mind becomes the honorable one.

This is an extremely special existence. Since ancient times, there have been very few people who have achieved it, and only a handful of people have been recorded.

The reason why so few people can reach this realm is that in order to achieve this realm, one must already have attained nirvana and died.

In other words, only those whose physical bodies have perished have the opportunity to reach this realm.

“It is rumored that some of the top Taoist True Lords, when they are in the state of nirvana, will use the hazy illusion between life and death to sublimate to the extreme state and briefly step into the realm of the Supreme Yuanshen True Lord.

However, the price of entering this realm is to completely sublimate the power of the whole body. Therefore, even if one enters the realm of Yuanshen Zhenzun, he will not be able to become a true Yuanshen Zhenzun because of the extinction and withering of the physical body. Only the soul and mind have the outline of Yuanshen Zhenzun.

This state is called [The Mind Becomes the Supreme]!

I guess the master has been able to stay here for tens of thousands of years because of his high level of mind control.

And he took action to shake the dormant Hell's Divine Artifact."

Gazing at the old monk who had transformed into Buddha, Qi Xiu slowly explained the mystery of his current state.

"Your Excellency is very knowledgeable and profound. This skill of observing qi also impresses me."

In an instant, the golden Buddha, ancient auspicious beasts, and golden lotuses all disappeared.

The small temple is still that small temple.

The old monk was still the same old monk, and even the old dog lying in deep sleep had not moved at all.

Raising his slightly cloudy eyes, the old monk looked at Qi Xiu calmly:

"Since you have seen clearly, could you please answer the old monk's previous question?"

"Da Yan is fifty, the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, and the one that escapes becomes life force.

"Qi is willing to go as the master has asked me to do."

Qi Xiu had seen through the art of qi-gazing that the old monk had reached a state of mind and was already believing most of what he said.

And judging from the words written by this old monk, the person who came to look for him that year must have been [him], unless something unexpected happened.

"Please have mercy on me, Master Zhenjun. I would like to thank you in advance."

After receiving Qi Xiu's firm answer, a relieved smile slowly emerged on the old monk's face, which had always been indifferent and calm.

next moment.

The old monk just flipped his palm, and a golden light suddenly shot out from the center of the eyebrows of the huge Buddha statue in the temple behind him.

The golden light fell to the ground, revealing a plain and simple altar filled with golden Buddhist scriptures.

When a great monk passes away, some of them will attract Buddha's fire to burn their body, and eventually leave behind relics which symbolize the essence of Buddhism.

Others will, like this old monk, seal their bodies in an altar and turn them into flesh-sacred Buddhas.

After handing the altar containing his own flesh-and-blood Buddha to Qi Xiu, the old monk felt as if a worry had been put to rest. Between his brows, a glimmer of golden light flickered.

"The old monk's wish has been fulfilled, and it will dissipate soon. Unfortunately, after tens of thousands of years of waiting, all the things outside of my body have long been worn away by the years, and I have nothing to give to the True Lord.

There are only a few beads in this collection, which were originally the magic weapons I used to offer sacrifices when I attained enlightenment.

Over the years, I have carefully preserved the 108 Buddhist beads, and only these last three are left.

Just keep it as a memorial for the True Lord."

The old monk spread out his right hand, and in his palm lay three flawless round Buddhist beads engraved with the [卍] symbol. The whole body looked like it was made of gold, and faintly emitted the supreme Buddha's light.

nice one!

As soon as he saw these three Buddhist beads, Qi Xiu sensed the powerful aura on them that was comparable to that of Yuanshen Zhenzun.

These three Buddhist beads were originally the magic weapon for the old monk to achieve enlightenment.

Before the old monk passed away, he was already a supreme Taoist master who was only one step away from becoming a true spirit. Naturally, the treasure that helped him achieve enlightenment was extraordinary.

And these three Buddhist beads have been able to be preserved for tens of thousands of years, having been nurtured and refined for a long time by an old monk who has reached the state of mind enlightenment.

The power of quality is evident.

After putting away the Buddhist altar and Buddhist beads, Qi Zheng was about to speak, but he saw that the old monk in front of him and the old dog beside him had disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, the small temple in front of him became empty, and the extremely tall Buddha in the Buddhist hall disappeared without a trace.

"I will not attain Buddhahood until hell is empty.

Today hell is empty, and it is time for this poor monk to return home.

My Buddha has mercy on me. Good, good."

The old monk's last voice echoed in the empty temple.

The Buddhist beads in his hand emitted a faint glow of heat, as if bidding farewell to his former master.

Looking at the empty temple, Qi Xiu pursed his lips, raised his hand and bowed towards the empty Buddhist hall, then turned and left.

The moment he stepped into the small temple, the Buddhist beads in Qi Xiu's hand suddenly became hot.

The next moment!

The hell before my eyes faded and dissipated like ink.

In front of Qi Xiu's eyes, thick fog accompanied by low and dense footsteps surrounded him and was reluctant to leave for a long time.

"It is worthy of being the guardian artifact of Hell. From the moment I stepped into the Hell Forest, it has been using the soul-stealing technique on me without me noticing it at all."

Qi Xiu was slightly surprised when he found himself at the entrance of the Hell Forest.

This clearly showed that when he stepped into the Hell Forest, he was already hit by the magic power of the Hell's Divine Artifact.

It is worthy of being a divine weapon that can compete with our sect’s Nine Heavens Divine Thunder City. Just a part of it has been revived, but it has such great power.

If it completely revives, I'm afraid there will be no way to suppress it except to call out the magical artifact, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder City.

"Fortunately, the old monk is gone. Without him to shake the Hell Dao artifact, the recovery of this artifact has slowed down, and its energy is much weaker than before."

Using the Qi-Watching Technique to observe the changes in the Qi of the Hell Divine Artifact, Qi Xiu discovered that the Qi of the Hell Divine Artifact, which was originally like a volcanic eruption, had now become much more stable.

“If you want to suppress the Hell Divine Artifact again, you must complete the Ten Directions Heaven and Earth Thunder Seal above.

This seal has been sealed in this thunder seal by the acting headmaster.

But then I must be within a hundred miles of the Hell's Divine Artifact in order to successfully activate the Ten Directions Heaven and Earth Thunder Seal in the Thunder Seal and complete the seal.

Around the Hell's artifact, there are a large number of evil ghosts and wronged souls, although they are all small fry.

But if you force your way closer, it will stimulate the artifact to revive further."

As soon as he thought of it, a seal that looked like it was carved from purple gold suddenly appeared in Qi Xiu's hand, with a majestic and magnificent seal hidden underneath.

It was the Thunder Seal made by Dongfang Xiong himself, which contained the Ten Directions Heaven and Earth Thunder Seal that could suppress the Hell Divine Artifact again.

With a step forward, Qi Xiu transformed into a stream of mixed primordial energy and entered the depths of the Hell Forest in an instant.

The Qi of Hunyuan has the effect of controlling all laws and paths, and can minimize the stimulation of the Hell's artifacts.

The layers of fog seemed like a vast ocean, with cold and resentful figures wandering in it.

These are the disciples of Hell in the Middle Ages.

When the Shenxiao Sect destroyed the Hell Realm, the people of the Hell Realm uttered a great curse, which was to curse the Shenxiao Sect to suffer a great disaster in the future and fall into a state even more miserable than the Hell Realm.

Secondly, the souls of all the disciples of Hell were confined in the Hell Forest, and the Hell Forest was turned into a restricted area, so that outsiders could not easily enter this former headquarters of Hell.

Standing in front of the vast ocean, in the mist that was fluctuating like the tide, it seemed as if hands were reaching out and moving forward, as if to drag Qi Xiu into it.

Qi Xiu looked up from a distance of nearly ten thousand miles. At the end of the foggy ocean, a city wall like a majestic fortress stood coldly and solidly.

The walls of this city gate are mottled and dilapidated, and a terrifying aura of soul-stirring flow from the bricks. On the top of the city wall, there are two large flags, one red and one white, swaying in the wind. From a distance, they look like a pair of strange eyes, watching all the living beings in front of them with a faint gaze.

"Is this the sacred weapon of Hell... [Fengdu]?"

Even though he was thousands of miles away, looking at this huge ancient city from afar, Qi Xiu could feel an irresistible heaviness in his soul, as if a burden of ten thousand pounds was placed on his shoulders, making it hard for him to breathe.

At this moment in [Fengdu], the city gate that was originally closed was pushed open a crack at some point.

The cold and gloomy fog was continuously dissipating outwards through this gap. This fog was exactly the increasingly dense Seven Evil Souls Returning from the Hell Forest!

Above the top of this huge city, an ancient talisman with a purple-gold color hung high in the air, continuously dropping wisps of extremely powerful lightning, suppressing the entire [Fengdu].

But under Qi Xiu's gaze, a crack had already appeared on the lower right corner of the purple gold talisman, as if it had been torn apart by someone.

It was exactly what Gao Tianxiong had done before.

The suppression talisman was damaged, and the deliberate shaking by the old monk before prompted the ancient city of Fengdu, which had been dormant for tens of thousands of years, to revive again.

“If you want to use the power of the Thunder Seal to bless that talisman, you must be within a hundred miles.

Before that, we must find a way to get rid of these evil ghosts. "

Retracting his gaze, Qi Xiu looked at the ocean in front of him, which seemed like fog but not fog, like sea but not sea, with countless figures wandering around.

The evil ghosts and wronged souls in this sea of ​​ghosts are not that strong.

If it were placed outside, he wouldn't even need to spend much effort. Hundreds of external incarnations would come out together and work together to cast thunder magic, which would be enough to destroy this sea of ​​ghosts.

But not now.

The seal on [Fengdu] is missing, causing this divine weapon of hell to gradually revive. The use of overly powerful means in such a recent period is bound to stimulate this divine weapon, and it is very likely to cause it to revive quickly.

"Fortunately, when the old monk was shaking up [Fengdu], he also left me a solution, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to obey him so easily."

With his hands behind his back, Qi Xiu looked calm. A ray of colorful green light flashed between his eyebrows, and a large black shadow emitting terrifying and ferocious power suddenly appeared behind him.

These dark shadows all had green faces and fangs, and looked ferocious. They held various tools such as pliers, scissors, and long axes.

They are the fifty-one thousand jailers in the eighteen levels of hell.

"You all listen to my orders."

With a light shout, the fifty thousand hell guards kneeling behind Qi Xiu responded immediately:

"I will obey my Lord's orders!"

"Quickly send all the evil ghosts and wronged souls in front of you to the eighteen levels of hell, where they will never be reincarnated!"

The Hell Forest is full of former disciples of the Demon Sect. They are entrenched in this place, which is like a cancer to the Shenxiao Sect.

Today, Qi Xiu will take over the hands of these hell jailers and completely wipe out all the evil ghosts and wronged souls in the hell forest.

In order to remove this cancer in the future, lay the foundation first!
