The resplendent Buddhist light illuminated the heavens and the earth, illuminating the night sky as if it was daytime. The ground seemed to be covered in a layer of golden sand.
Accompanied by a clear Buddhist proclamation, a white-robed figure descended from the sky, stepping on the light of Buddha.
Zuo Qianhu barely managed to open his eyes and saw a white-robed young monk slowly walking over with his palms pressed together. This monk was light and handsome, with a solemn expression, but he still had a hint of childishness.
It made people feel that even though she was angry, she was still a little cute.
As the monk walked past, all the undeads were like snowflakes under the flames, dissipating and melting.
First, it was fur, then grayish-white flesh, and then only a spine was left.
One by one, the centipedes crawled out of the skeletons 'remaining spines. When they were illuminated by the Buddha's light, they let out shrill squeaking sounds, which made people's teeth ache.
In the end, they still turned into ashes in their struggles.
Left with no other choice, the undead horde that had killed a group of elite constables and soldiers in just a few breaths was completely annihilated, leaving nothing behind.
And the person who had done all this was a young monk in white.
He had only taken a few steps.
At that moment, Zuo Qianhu almost thought that Buddha had descended from the heavens!
The group of undeads was completely destroyed, and the Buddha light naturally faded. Only the white-robed monk was still standing. The monk lowered his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Zuo Qianhu hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and clasping his fists."Greetings, Master. Thank you for saving my life!”
The monk lowered his eyes and sighed.”
Zuo Qianhu was about to speak when Nie Yuanli interrupted him.
"Master Miao Kong!"
Nie Yuanli stumbled out of the carriage and came before the monk. He bowed.
"Lord Nie, don't be like this. In the end, I broke my promise and missed the three-month agreement.”
The newcomer was naturally Miao Kong. He had made a three-month pact with Nie Yuanli and knew that this was Nie Yuanli's limit.
However, he was caught in the trap with Chen Xiang as the core, and it took him half a month to rush over from the Spiritual State.
Who knew that he was still a hair's breadth away, and many people lost their lives in vain.
Although Zuo Qianhu did not understand, he could tell that Miao Kong and Nie Yuanli had known each other for a long time, so he said,""Venerable One, you don't have to blame yourself. What we're doing is a job where our heads are tied to our belts.”
Miao Kong nodded reluctantly and sat on the ground without saying a word, chanting the Ksitigarbha Rebirth Mantra.
After doing this forty-nine times, Miao Kong finally stood up.
He raised his hand, and a wisp of black ash appeared in his hand. He twisted it with his eyes narrowed, and a stench wafted out.
"These undeads are man-made and not born naturally in the Evil Land.”
Nie Yuanli smiled bitterly and said,""Presumably, the person who raised the corpse is none other than Imperial Preceptor.”
Zuo Qianhu didn't speak, but turned his back to guard.
Miao Kong and Nie Yuanli exchanged a glance and said,""Lord Nie, the state preceptor is so eager to get rid of you. I think you have some evidence, right?”
"That's right."
Nie Yuanli carefully took out a fingertip-sized gourd from his bosom. The gourd was fiery red and was covered in cracks of various sizes. It looked as if it would collapse in the next moment.
"Sword Qi?"
Miao Kong looked at the red gourd and then at Nie Yuanli.
"At that time, I was twenty-five years old and was a high school juren.”
Nie Yuanli said, his voice reminiscent.
"One day, when I went to an old book stall to buy books, I was stopped by a Taoist priest. He said that there would be a great disaster in ten years. Not only would I lose my life, but my family would also be implicated.”
"I didn't believe it at that time, and the Daoist didn't say much. He just gave me the gourd, and I didn't care. Seeing how exquisite the gourd was, I took it and kept it.”
"Until half a year ago, I went to the Great Temple of Gratitude to offer incense. The moment I stepped in, I was in a daze and walked into the backyard of the Great Temple of Gratitude without knowing anything.”
"When I woke up again, I saw a three-hundred-meter-long human-faced centipede smiling at me.”
"That face is exactly the same as the state preceptor!”
"In the end, it was this little gourd that suddenly emitted a red light. I was illuminated until I fainted. After that, I didn't know anything.”
"When I woke up again, I was in my own mansion.”
"Fortunately, Imperial Preceptor seemed to be afraid and did not immediately kill me. However, he still forced me out of Bianliang and fled to Hangzhou. You know what happened after that."
Nie Yuanli ended his recollection and gritted his teeth."The state preceptor is afraid that I will expose his identity in the court!”
"Although I don't know what the state preceptor wants to do, he definitely needs the basic stability of the court to help him achieve his hidden goal!”
"Otherwise, you wouldn't be so afraid of me!”
Miao Kong listened quietly and nodded.""Did the Taoist priest leave his name?"
"Yes, he calls himself Daoist Flaming Dragon.”
Miao Kong was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect it to be this big shot. Could it be that the Louguan branch of Taoism was also involved?
Some people might not be familiar with the Louguan lineage, but when it came to Daoist Yi Xi, they were familiar with him.
At that time, at Hangu Pass, Immortal Yin Xi received the Tao Te Ching and established the branch of Louguan, worshipping Taishang Laojun as the ancestor. Later, Yin Xi passed it on to Li He and then to Chen Tuan.
And Chen Tuan's disciple was this Venerable Fiery Dragon named Zheng Fiery Dragon.
This was the direct line of descent of the Daoist sect.
The other party seemed to have predicted the current situation ten years ago. Coupled with the other party's identity and background, it was difficult not to make the connection.
"Mage?"
Nie Yuanli called out softly when he saw that Miao Kong was silent.
Miao Kong came back to his senses and said," Lord Nie, I didn't come here to return empty-handed. The state preceptor must be eliminated."”
Although he couldn't figure out if the Louguan lineage was involved, judging from Daoist Fiery Dragon's behavior, it was at least a neutral situation.
If he couldn't figure it out, then he wouldn't. Right now, he had to focus on dealing with the state preceptor.
"But, mages are so young, shouldn't they be…more cautious?”
Nie Yuanli was beating around the bush, but his meaning was clear. He was worried that Miao Kong was no match for the state preceptor.
If Miao Kong, his benefactor, lost his life because of Nie Yuanli, then he would be guilty.
" It's fine. I didn't waste these three months. Besides…"
Miao Kong smiled and didn't finish his sentence.
And what?
Of course, if he couldn't beat them, he would shake them.
How can we lose our traditional arts?
