Under the Bodhi Tree outside the magnificent and majestic Buddhist temple.
Bodhisattva, who looked like a young monk, took out a golden alms bowl from his sleeve and placed it in front of him.
Opposite him was Glazed Bodhisattva, who was dressed in white and had bare feet. Her hair fluttered in the wind.
The Colored Glaze Bodhisattva looked normal except for the lack of blood on her lips.
Her Glaze eyes stared at Bodhisattva emotionlessly. She said softly,
"How powerful is Nine-tailed Celestial Fox?"
The young monk said calmly,
"Still a bit away from the first stage."
Glazed Bodhisattva nodded.
"Without awakening that Divine Power, she can't fully use the Spiritual Accumulation of Nine-tailed Celestial Fox. She's not a big threat."
As he spoke, the golden alms bowl projected a beam of golden light, which turned into the Galo Tree Bodhisattva's tall and sturdy figure above their heads.
Bodhisattva put his palms together and said calmly,
"The Southern Demon Nation has been restored."
…
The Demon Subduing Stream was located in a cold valley in the south of Alantuo. The Buddhists carved paths and cells on the cliffs to imprison monks who violated the precepts, demons who rampaged in the Western Regions, and some foreign enemies.
Two or three hundred years ago, the Demon Subduing Stream was full of demons.
Later, some of them reached the end of their lifespan and died naturally. Some of them couldn't stand the cold and loneliness and converted to Buddhism. The Demon Subduing Stream gradually became deserted.
Azuro landed from the sky and glanced around. The cliffs on both sides of the valley were embedded with many empty cells.
The lower he went, the dimmer the light became.
"Patter ~ ~"
Azuro landed in the valley and looked to the west.
There was a cave entrance about six meters high on the pitch-black cliff. Three words were carved on the entrance:
Demon Subduing Stream!
Entering the cave, one could go straight to the underground of Alantuo.
Legend had it that the Asura King was imprisoned at the bottom of the mountain by the Buddha, which referred to this Demon Subduing Stream.
The bottom of the valley was the forbidden area of Alantuo. Ordinary monks couldn't get close. As for Arhats and Vajras, they couldn't enter without the permission of the Bodhisattva.
In the past, Guang Xian Bodhisattva was guarding Alan Tuo, keeping an eye on things from a high place. Whether it was before Asura died or after he returned, he had never come here.
Azuro reached his hand into the cave carefully, as if there was an invisible door there.
His hand reached into the cave carefully, as if there was an invisible door.
There's no restriction … Beneath Asolo's protruding brow ridge, his sharp gaze flickered. Without hesitation, he lifted his foot and entered the cave.
The corridor was completely dark, and in the absence of any light, the structure of the eyeball made it impossible for even a Transcendent to see clearly.
However, Transcendents did not necessarily need to use their eyes to see.
In particular, Asura had cultivated the Heaven's Eye, but for some unknown reason, out of the intuition of a Transcendent Stage powerhouse, he neither used the Heaven's Eye, nor did he use the power of his Yuan Soul to explore his surroundings.
It was obvious that the Martial Artist's unique sense of danger did not give him any warning.
Walking along the pitch-black passageway, Asuro wasn't afraid of hitting a wall at all. This was because even Peerless Heavenly Weapons couldn't break through his physique.
After walking like this for a quarter of an hour, Asuro stopped.
He heard rhythmic breathing from the depths of the cave.
Azuro was looking for the Asura King's corpse. He didn't expect to encounter such a situation.
Asura was here to look for the Shura King's skeleton, but he didn't expect to encounter such a situation.
Was there someone sleeping in the Demon Subduing Stream where the Asura King was imprisoned?
The chilly wind blew on his body, and Asulo only felt a chill all over his body, a chill that came from his soul.
But the Martial Artist's Sense of Danger didn't give him any warning.
…
Galo Tree Bodhisattva, the symbol of power, sat cross-legged with his palms clasped together. When he heard about the Southern Goblin Kingdom and the Western Regions Monk Soldiers retreating from Southern Border, his calm and solemn face didn't change.
He said slowly, "Even you couldn't stop them."
Guang Xian Bodhisattva replied calmly,
"I'm not a Grade One Warlock."
Galo Tree Bodhisattva kept his palms clasped together and asked,
"How is Asura's condition? After returning, is his Buddhist heart untainted?"
He was referring to Azuro's failure to protect the God's Limb and the Goblin Clan took it back. This was the main reason why Southern Border was lost.
The Colored Glaze Bodhisattva also shifted her gaze towards the Guang Xian Bodhisattva.
The young monk said slowly,
"Buddha's Heart pure!"
Galo Tree Bodhisattva nodded slightly.
The Glaze Bodhisattva retracted her gaze.
"Glaze, how long will it take for you to recover?" Galo Tree looked down at the Bodhisattva.
"Supervisor hurt my foundation. It won't heal in a short time unless Bodhisattva Fa Ji returns and uses the Medicine Buddha Form to help me." Glazed Bodhisattva shook her head.
Galo Tree sighed.
"Supervisor's strength was above average back then. But now, it'll be difficult for him to hurt your foundation."
When he finished, Guangzhou Bodhisattva asked calmly,
"How's the battle in Azure Province?"
Galo Tree shook his head.
"It's still a stalemate."
The two Bodhisattvas, Guang Xian and Liu Li, pondered for a moment.
"It shouldn't be like this."
The latter added with a pleasant voice,
"With Cloud Province's elites, they should've taken Azure Province by now. The Gu Tribe is too few in number and can't change the overall situation."
Galo Tree Bodhisattva didn't answer.
Instead, he said calmly, "Wait for the news in Alantuo. Prevent the Goblin Clan from attacking Alantuo and stealing the God's Limb."
…
The sleeping place of the Buddha was in the Zen Forest in the west of Alantuo.
That was a forbidden area for Buddhist monks. Ordinary monks and first-grade Bodhisattvas were not allowed to enter without being summoned.
The red walls were like giant pythons winding around the mountains. They were layered on top of each other and had gray tiles on top of them.
Outside the Zen forest, a golden light lit up and manifested into the appearance of Arhat Du E.
Dhu Lohan put his palms together and bowed outside the Zen Forest.
"Disciple Du 'e greets Buddha."
The Zen Forest was quiet. There was no movement, not even a living being.
"Disciple Du 'e greets Buddha."
There was still no movement.
Time was limited. Du 'e did not have time to hesitate. He stepped out with his right foot, which was wearing the Arhat Shoe.
The so-called Zen Forest was the mausoleum of the monks. Bodhisattvas and acolytes could enter this Zen Forest after they died.
This was also their only chance to enter this Zen Forest in their lives.
Along the way, Du 'e saw the towering Buddhist pagoda. The walls were mottled, and the fallen leaves were deep. It was desolate and silent.
He searched for the statue of the Confucian Sages with a purpose.
According to Xu Qi 'an, if the statue of the Confucian Sages was still there, the Buddha would not have broken free from the seal.
If the statue was destroyed, the Buddha would have been free.
Du 'e did not doubt the authenticity of Xu Qi' an's words. That was because they had the same goal in this matter: to solve the mystery of Shen Shu's background.
There was no need for Xu Qi 'an to lie or mislead him. There was no point in doing so.
The Zen Forest was huge and occupied the entire mountain. Du 'e's goal was also very clear. He headed straight for the depths of the Zen Forest, where there was a Bodhi tree.
Legend had it that the Buddha had comprehended the Dao on Mount Alantuo. On the day he achieved the Dao, he attracted the jealousy of the heavens and sent down torrential rain and lightning.
At that moment, a Bodhi tree grew out from behind the Buddha, shielding him from the wind and rain and lightning.
Not long after, Du 'e arrived at the depths of the Zen Forest and saw the Bodhi tree.
The tall and lush Bodhi tree stood in the depths of the Zen Forest. Its trunk was thick, and its branches were as thick as a forearm. They were so dense that they almost covered the trunk.
The Bodhi Tree was not tall, but it stretched out in all directions like a canopy.
Dhu Lohan's pupils contracted.
Under the shade of the tree, there was a pile of severely weathered stones. Upon closer inspection, one could tell that they were broken stone sculptures.
The statue of the Confucian Sages had been destroyed, and the Buddha had been freed … Dhu Lohan looked at the pile of stone sculptures and did not speak for a long time.
Suddenly, a calm and emotionless voice sounded from behind Dhu Lohan.
"Du 'e, what are you doing here?"
If it were an ordinary person, their heart would inevitably beat faster and they would break out in a cold sweat.
However, Du 'e was a second-grade Arhat, and his cultivation was profound. He slowly turned around and looked at Guangxian Bodhisattva, who was 30 feet behind him.
He said slowly, "Shen Shu has broken the seal and reappeared in the world. The Southern Demon has taken back the Hundred Thousand Mountains and announced the restoration of the country.
He said slowly, "This is a matter of great importance. I believe that the Buddha should not sleep again."
Du 'e was a second-grade Arhat and a disciple of the Buddha. In theory, his status was not inferior to that of Guangxian Bodhisattva.
He had the qualifications to meet the Buddha directly.
However, in Buddhism, Arhat was one grade lower than Bodhisattva, so Bodhisattva's status was usually higher.
"The Buddha dispels the karmic fire of the world. He will wake up when it's time. He will meet you when it's time. "
Guangxian Bodhisattva's tone was calm as he said,
"If you don't want to see him, you won't be able to see him no matter how far you go."
Dhu Lohan put his palms together and lowered his head.
"I was too impatient."
Guangxian Bodhisattva nodded.
"Go. Don't disturb the Buddha again."
Du 'e did not say anything else and left.
Just as he passed by Guangxian Bodhisattva, a faint and strange whisper came from behind him.
"Save me, save me …"
