Buddhism called greed, anger, and obsession the Three Poisons, also known as the Three Stains. These three things harmed the human heart and caused people to sink into the world of mortals, unable to escape.
Therefore, among the seven emotions and six desires, the Buddhists were most afraid of greed, anger, and obsession. They were determined to get rid of them completely.
Unfortunately, throughout history, there were not many Buddhist monks who were able to completely cut off these three thoughts.
If Buddha was not greedy, then why was the golden body towering in the Hall of Great Strength, and why was there no earth, wood, or clay sculptures?
If Buddha was not angry, then why was he unable to tolerate even the slightest bit of heresy? Why was he determined to kill everything he thought was wrong?
If Buddha was not obsessed, then why was he unable to see through all the obstacles and self-righteous?
Throughout history, there were not many Buddhists who were able to completely cut off the three thoughts of greed, anger, and obsession. The only person Chu Xiu had ever seen was Master Tam Yuan.
Perhaps Xu Xing was not greedy for fame, or perhaps he was not obsessed with ideas, but his anger was very strong!
In reality, the moment he saw Chu Xiu use the Seven Demon Blade, Xu Xing was already on his guard.
Back in Xiaofang Heaven, Chu Xiu had used the Seven Demon Blade to severely injure him. Xu Xing would not make the same mistake a second time.
That blade had triggered the greed in Xu Xing's heart, and at the same time, it had devoured his vital energy. It was extremely evil.
However, after returning to the Temple of Great Light, Xu Xing went to the Kongzhi Zen Hall's First Seat, Xu Du, and asked him for the Adversity Crossing Zen Scripture that could suppress one's mind. With this technique, he could completely counteract the demon blade's ability to disturb one's mind.
The Angry Blade slashed down, and an unparalleled power bloomed. Monstrous demonic qi swept out, and the power was actually the greatest of the Seven Demon Blades that Chu Xiu had used.
Anger was an obsession, anger, and negative karma.
The moment the Angry Blade slashed down, and the moment Xu Xing's anger was triggered, the Buddhist flames around him instantly turned crimson. They were no longer the golden Buddhist flames from before.
Xu Xing's anger surged, and his eyes instantly turned red. His heart was filled with a crazy obsession. He would sacrifice everything, even the lives of others! He had to kill this evil spirit in front of him!
However, in the blink of an eye, Xuxing felt that something was wrong. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood, suppressing the crazy thoughts in his mind.
It was true that Xu Ren was irritable and paranoid, and it was also true that he had strong resentment in his heart. However, he was still a martial arts grandmaster from the Great Light Temple, and also someone who had studied Buddhist scriptures for half his life. Even if he did not comprehend any profound Buddhist principles, he would not do something like sacrificing so many innocent lives just to kill one person.
Gritting his teeth, Xu Xing recited the Crossing Adversity Zen Sutra, trying to suppress the anger in his body. However, as Chu Xiu's Angry Blade got closer and closer, the anger was not only not suppressed, but also became stronger!
Actually, Xu Xing's way of dealing with it was not wrong. The Buddhist Sect's secret scripture, the Adversity Crossing Zen Scripture, was indeed effective against evil weapons like the Seven Demon Blades, which could incite evil in people's hearts.
However, the last time Chu Xiu dealt with Xu Xing, he did not have any experience, so he used the Greedy Blade. This time, he had figured out how to use the Seven Demon Blades, and he used the Angry Blade, which targeted Xu Xing's heart.
Everyone had a demon in their heart, and it was usually suppressed by their heart. Once it was released, it would be out of control.
Chu Xiu's blade released the demon in Xu Xing's heart. Under the attack of the Angry Blade, the Crossing Adversity Zen Sutra was completely ineffective. The Buddhist flames around Xu Xing, which had turned red, were mixed with a hint of black. As the Angry Blade slashed down, the black Buddhist flames suddenly surged into the Angry Blade. It was as if they had the same source of power, and it easily broke through Xu Xing's protective Genuine Qi and sent him flying!
As the head of the Dharma Institute, Xu Xing's body was strong enough to crush warriors of the same level.
But now, under the attack of the Angry Blade, there was a huge wound on his chest. It was so deep that bones could be seen, and blood was spilling out. Compared to the time when he had been seriously injured by the Greedy Blade, he was at least ten times more injured.
The special thing about the Seven Demon Blades was that when you attacked, you not only had to consider your own strength, but also how strong your opponent's seven emotions and six desires were.
If you attacked a saint who had no emotions and six desires, then the Seven Demon Blades would not even be as useful as ordinary Precious Weapons.
But right now, Chu Xiu was not in a good state.
The Seven Demon Blades hurt both others and Chu Xiu. At his peak, Chu Xiu was confident that he could suppress the backlash after slashing out once. However, Chu Xiu had slashed out twice in succession. Although there were some gaps between the slashes, his strength was not at its peak.
Right now, it was clearly a great opportunity to kill Xu Xing, but Chu Xiu did not move.
His eyes turned red and he panted heavily. In the end, he used his last thread of willpower to put the Angry Blade back into its scabbard.
Fortunately, Chu Xiu had used the Angry Blade and not other blades.
In reality, Chu Xiu's anger was not very strong. He was a person who could see things clearly. To put it bluntly, Chu Xiu knew his limits and would not be easily swayed by emotions. So right now, Chu Xiu could barely suppress the power of the Angry Blade.
If it had been the Greedy Blade or the Evil Blade, Chu Xiu would have been possessed by a mental demon.
At this time, Chen Jiankong, who was standing below, discovered that something was wrong with Chu Xiu.
He clearly had a good chance to kill Xu Xing, but Lin Ye was standing here without moving. There was clearly a problem.
If he used this chance to kill Lin Ye and save Xu Xing, the Ba Mountain Sword Sect would gain fame, and also gain the favor and gratitude of the Great Light Temple!
Glancing at Luo Sancong and the others, Chen Jiankong planned if he could have Teacher Qin and the others act to temporarily block these demonic people, and then kill Lin Ye himself.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded by Chen Jiankong's ear. It said coolly, "Monkey Chen, I advise you not to act."
Because Chen Jiankong looked like an ape, before he became the leader of the Ba Mountain Sword Sect, he had been mocked by many people because of his appearance. Many people jokingly called him a monkey.
But after Chen Jiankong became the leader of the Ba Mountain Sword Sect and the eight-armed divine ape Chen Jiankong whose name shook the West Chu, it had been a long time since someone said these words in front of him.
But at this time, Chen Jiankong only felt terror, not anger, because he could not be bothered with anger.
Someone was actually able to sneak up on him without him noticing. Just how frightening was this person's cultivation?
Chen Jiankong turned his head and saw a sloppily dressed Taoist priest next to him.
This Taoist priest wore a grey Taoist robe.
In fact, this Taoist robe should be the classic moon-white Taoist robe of the Celestial Master Mansion. But because it had not been washed for a long time, all kinds of dust and stains had accumulated on it, so it looked grey.
The Daoist priest's appearance wasn't ugly. On the contrary, he was a very handsome middle-aged man. However, his hair and beard were messy. He was also holding a dirty wine gourd in his hand. From time to time, he would take a sip from it. This made him look very sloppy.
After seeing the sloppy Taoist priest, Chen Jiankong's expression suddenly changed and became extremely twisted. There was even a hint of fear in his eyes. He shouted, "Xuan Longzi! Why is it you!? "
Xuan Longzi put down the wine gourd, stretched out his dirty hand, and patted Chen Jiankong's face. He said with a smile, "Didn't you send someone to the Celestial Master Mansion to ask for help? I just happened to be released, so I came out to see an old friend. How is it? Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
Chen Jiankong's face was stiff, and he did not dare to move. At this time, he was not surprised, but only frightened!
'Thunder God' Xuan Longzi was the most famous martial arts master in the prime of his life in the Celestial Master Mansion. He was even more famous than Zhang Chengzhen's father in the Celestial Master Mansion. Although he was not a Celestial Master yet, he was in charge of the affairs of the Celestial Master Mansion on behalf of the old Celestial Master.
Although this person was a disciple of the Celestial Master Mansion, he was not a member of the Zhang family. He was adopted by the old Celestial Master since he was young, so he was not much different from a member of the Zhang family.
When Xuan Longzi was at his peak, he was even ranked 17th on the Excellence List. He was definitely one of the top experts in the Celestial Master Mansion.
But the most unacceptable thing about this person was that … he was a madman! A complete and utter madman!
Xuan Longzi was an extreme and arrogant person who did not have any scruples. In the entire Celestial Master Mansion, no one could suppress him except the old Celestial Master.
Chen Jiankong and Xuan Longzi were of the same generation, and he had been humiliated by him many times. It could even be said that he had left a psychological shadow on Xuan Longzi.
Of course, these were all small matters. Xuan Longzi had caused a huge disaster ten years ago.
Ten years ago, when someone opened the ancient ruins, the true spirit of an ancient demon expert was accidentally released.
Even if it was an ancient expert, after tens of thousands of years, even if they used some methods to ensure that the true spirit was immortal, they would still be extremely weak. Even an expert like Lv Wenhou was the same, let alone others.
But at that time, there was a guy who took the initiative to seek death. After obtaining the true spirit, he did not kill it. Instead, he wanted to sacrifice the true spirit and obtain the memories within it. In the end, he merged with the true spirit, and his memories became chaotic. He completely became a powerful madman and caused great damage to Jianghu.
At that time, Celestial Master Mansion and other righteous sects joined forces to kill this thing. Among them, the person sent by Celestial Master Mansion was Xuan Longzi.
Originally, it was very difficult to get rid of such an existence that had the true spirit of an ancient expert and could continuously devour human lives to recover its strength. But Xuan Longzi boldly laid out a plan. He used the lives of his fellow martial artists as bait and quickly killed the true spirit of the ancient expert. At the same time, he also killed several righteous grandmasters!
Although Xuan Longzi's action was to save more people, it also caused Celestial Master Mansion to offend several large sects. It forced Celestial Master Mansion to personally go to Wind Sweeping Pavilion and have Xuan Longzi's name removed from the Windcloud List. Finally, Xuan Longzi was imprisoned in Celestial Master Mansion's dungeon to reflect for ten years. Moreover, the old Celestial Master personally went to all the large sects to apologize.
Ten years was enough for people to forget many things. If Xuan Longzi had not appeared, Chen Jiankong would have almost forgotten about him.
It was only when Xuan Longzi appeared in front of him that Chen Jiankong remembered that these days were the days when Xuan Longzi's sentence was completed. He finally remembered the fear that Xuan Longzi had brought to him in the past.
