While Gu Zheng was walking towards the altar in the temple, Wu Xiang and the heart demon were sitting opposite each other in the middle of the main hall. Wu Xiang was chanting Buddhist mantras continuously.
It had been seven days since Gu Zheng was locked up. Other than a few monks, the entire temple was silent.
Even the entire city had been emptied. Under the guidance of others, all the people were heading towards the right path that Wu Xiang had opened up. They were far enough away from here.
As Wu Xiang's voice continued to spread, the entire temple was filled with his Buddhist mantras. The four Buddha statues that Gu Zheng had cleaned were now filled with a rich Buddhist light.
"Buddha is merciful!"
As Wu Xiang's last Buddhist mantra fell, it reverberated throughout the entire temple.
Four huge rays of Buddhist light shot up to the sky from four directions and gathered in the air. Under Wu Xiang's control, four huge Buddha shadows appeared in the air.
If one looked closely, they looked exactly the same as the Buddha statues below. They were all sitting quietly in the air, waiting for the next move.
"As long as you take one more step, everything below will be completely sealed. From then on, you can go to other places and you won't be bound here." Seeing that Wu Xiang had stopped, the heart demon said.
"I've spent thousands of years just for this moment. Master's wish is about to be fulfilled." Wu Xiang's blood was boiling. Facing his wish that was about to be fulfilled, he couldn't help but say. He looked at the statues in front of him and didn't move for a long time.
"Then let's go down! I've wanted to get rid of you for a long time. You're a stubborn, smelly, and stubborn monk. I'd rather face those filthy things than stay with you. "The heart demon urged. It was as if she couldn't wait to be reborn.
Wu Xiang stretched out his hand and pointed. A ball of Buddhist power instantly sank into the middle of the main hall. Then, a round hole with a diameter of ten feet appeared on the ground.
"Wu Wu"
Countless ghost-like cries came from below. At the same time, a wave of evil energy leaked out from below. It was exactly the same as the evil energy outside.
However, before the commotion could continue, the four Buddha statues in the sky suddenly opened their eyes. Eight thick beams of Buddha light instantly penetrated the space and intersected above the small hole, forming a shield that blocked the commotion below.
Wu Xiang took a deep breath and glanced at the Buddha statue again. With a flick of his sleeve, the nine-story pagoda appeared above his head, spinning and emitting a powerful aura.
The inner demon looked at the nine-story pagoda, and a hint of greed flashed in the depths of its eyes. However, on the surface, it appeared to be in awe of the pagoda.
Wu Xiang quickly formed hand seals, and the nine-story pagoda glowed with a golden light as it slowly advanced towards the cave.
Then, it stopped above the cave entrance, and the eight golden lights shone on the nine-story pagoda at the same time. Suddenly, a pagoda shadow replaced the previous shield above the cave entrance.
The black gas, which was still trying to attack, was illuminated by the Buddha's light around the pagoda shadow. It let out a series of screams and actually retreated.
The clamorous noise in the hall instantly vanished, and it became much quieter.
At this moment, Wu Xiang took a step forward. Just as he was about to make his next move, there was a sudden change.
The inner demon at the side suddenly exploded. On the surrounding walls, beams of black light suddenly appeared and turned into countless black snakes. They opened their mouths and bit at Wu Xiang.
Other than Wu Xiang, the Buddha statue's position did not change, and he was instantly surrounded from three sides. Even the inner demon quickly rushed over and blocked the only gap.
"I knew you were up to no good. Now that you're asking for death, don't blame me for being merciless. Letting you live in this world is already a great blessing." Wu Xiang immediately stood still. Looking at the attacks around him, he didn't panic and said coldly.
Previously, to set up the Evil Punishing Buddha Formation, two people had to work together. Now that the inner demon had finished using him, Wu Xiang originally wanted to deal with the inner demon before dealing with him. However, it seemed that it was time to deal with this inner demon that shouldn't exist in this world.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Xiang's hand moved. The next moment, his face was filled with astonishment. This was because the nine-storey pagoda, which was extremely effective against the inner demon, only shook. Then, there was no other reaction.
While he was stunned, the surrounding black snakes bit Wu Xiang's body. Then, they transformed into ropes. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of black ropes firmly trapped Wu Xiang in the middle.
"Haha, I already knew that you wouldn't let me get away so easily. I have already controlled a part of the nine-storey pagoda. Although I can't use it, it can delay you for a while." The inner demon looked at this and revealed a proud smile.
"Impossible, how can the nine-storey pagoda be controlled by you? That is my Buddha's treasure. If you dare to touch it, you will definitely turn into ashes." Wu Xiang's body violently struggled. However, more and more black snakes emerged from the walls and wrapped around his body, making it impossible for him to break free.
"Of course, I won't be stupid enough to touch it. But what if you let go of it deep in your heart? Then I will have a chance. And I will have a chance to completely assimilate you into me. You will have to experience the humiliation of all these years. "The inner demon's body emitted endless black smoke as he laughed wildly.
He didn't know how difficult it was to survive in the past. He was afraid that Wu Xiang would refine him.
"Don't be so proud. Watch my power!" Wu Xiang shouted angrily. His body emitted a large amount of Buddhist light. Then, it condensed into the shape of a pagoda above his head. As soon as it took shape, it immediately pressed down on the inner demon.
"Clang!"
A deafening sound was heard. A layer of black smoke above the inner demon's head blocked the pagoda. No matter how hard the pagoda pressed down, it couldn't break through.
"Hahaha, do you think you can suppress me so easily? I have been hiding my strength for so long. Now, my cultivation is higher than yours. I can come and go as I please. For this formation, you have worked hard. On the other hand, I didn't lose much. What can you do to me?"
The inner demon waved his hand and a large amount of black smoke rushed out from his body. Halfway through, a black flood dragon head appeared and swallowed Wu Xiang.
"Next, through you, I will control the Nine Layer Pagoda and completely corrupt it. At that time, no one will be able to stop me." Looking at Wu Xiang who was surrounded by the black smoke, he couldn't help but say proudly.
.....
"Young Master, Grandmaster Wu Xiang seems to be in danger. We have to save him. Otherwise, it will be too late when he completely falls."
Xiao Ying said anxiously when she saw a few golden shadows being swallowed up in the blink of an eye. The remaining people were struggling to resist the enemy's attacks.
"I understand! Aren't the memories up there being unlocked? We have to hold on, but we can't stay here for long. We can't control this place. I will go down and help them. You stay up there and call me if anything happens. "
Gu Zheng looked at the empty altar. There was nothing he could do. Even the pillar in the middle was covered in a layer of Buddhist light. There was nothing he could do. He could only go down and help those people block the enemy's attacks.
"Okay, I got it!" Xiao Ying shouted at Gu Zheng's back. She began to pay attention to the changes in her surroundings. She also looked down from the corner of her eyes.
On this side of the stairs, looking down from above, these Wu Xiang still had the upper hand. However, it was only enough to buy them some time.
The inner demons below were fearless in their attacks. They were all fighting in a suicidal manner. From Gu Zheng's point of view, each of them could kill about five of the inner demons before they lost the ability to fight. They didn't bother dodging any fatal attacks and only wanted to leave a blow on Golden Formless.
If this was the case, Gu Zheng wouldn't be in such a hurry. No matter how fierce the other side was, they could buy them some time, enough for them to escape.
However, in the sky, black smoke was constantly emerging. It seemed that some new creature would soon be born. He couldn't let the golden shadows lose too much.
Gu Zheng shuttled through the narrow gap and quickly came to the front.
At this time, there were less than ten golden Wu Xiang left, and a few of them were injured. At the same time, the inner demons had been pushed into the air in a short time. Behind them, there were even more inner demons. When the front died or lost the ability to fight, the inner demons behind directly threw them down and replaced them. They didn't give the other side any time to breathe.
After Gu Zheng's figure moved forward, he directly helped the Wu Xiang beside him to resist the enemy's attacks. He also retreated with the other side.
The Wu Xiang on both sides seemed to be aware of the urgency of the situation. They simply retreated without thinking. They even helped Gu Zheng to resist the inadvertent attacks. However, most of them were still guarding the side, not giving the other side a chance to rush up.
After Gu Zheng's first attempt to attack all of them failed, he gave up the idea. There were too many of them, and it was impossible to attack.
However, the appearance of Gu Zheng also stopped the disadvantage on this side. Compared to Gu Zheng's strength, the other side's strength was a lot weaker.
If they were in an open space, they might be able to wear Gu Zheng down if they had enough time. However, in this narrow space, unless Gu Zheng was completely exhausted, it would be impossible for them to harm even a single hair on his body.
After fighting and retreating, Gu Zheng finally stopped in front of the altar and stopped retreating. The golden Wu Xiang also didn't go up. They all crowded at the back.
"Young Master, it's still the same as before, but I feel that there is more and more Buddhist power above. Can you still come over?" Xiao Ying's voice came from above.
At this time, the Wu Xiang squeezed together, almost filling up all the gaps.
"Yes, don't worry. Let me know if there's any movement." Gu Zheng took the time to look and said confidently.
Then, Gu Zheng punched the heart of the inner demon beside him, creating a dent. At the same time, his body slammed into the inner demon behind him, and he was pushed down. Before Gu Zheng could retract his fist, the inner demon pounced on him again.
"Rumble!"
There was a thunderous sound in the sky, and many black spots suddenly fell from the black fog.
Gu Zheng took a closer look, and his face changed slightly. The black spots that fell were inner demons, and their bodies were covered in black flames. Their aura seemed to be much stronger than these.
After hundreds of black spots fell from the sky, they didn't stop as Gu Zheng expected. Instead, they rolled even more violently.
"Hiss!"
A hissing sound that made one's heart tremble rose in the sky. Suddenly, many small black snakes with three feet long wings flew out from the black fog. The moment they came out, they flew towards Gu Zheng.
In an instant, hundreds of flying snakes flew out. This made Gu Zheng's face change. If they really attacked from above and below, there was no way he could stop the other side's attack.
Fortunately, at this moment, Xiao Ying's voice came from above.
"Young Master, the sphere in the middle suddenly changed. Come up quickly. I feel that we are about to leave this place."
After Gu Zheng heard this, he pushed forward, and a golden shield instantly rose in front of him. The attacks of the inner demons landed on the shield, and the shield trembled.
At this moment, Gu Zheng took the opportunity to turn around and pulled Wu Xiang, who was behind him. At an unbelievable angle, the two of them swapped positions.
After a few blinks of the eye, Gu Zheng's figure arrived at the top. The shield below was just broken, but Wu Xiang had already stood in place and continued to block the other side's attacks.
As soon as Gu Zheng came up, he saw a golden sphere floating in the air. The pillar below had disappeared.
Without hesitation, Gu Zheng stepped forward and reached out his hand to touch the ball.
An extremely strong golden light was emitted from the altar again. It was dense and solid, and it spread out with an unparalleled force.
Those inner demons and Wu Xiang were turned into ashes in an instant. Even the flying snakes that had just appeared were evaporated before they could get close.
In the golden light, countless golden Wu Xiang were resurrected, murmuring Buddhist scriptures. In the sky, all the dark clouds were swept away, and the air regained its solemn aura.
"How is this possible? What happened to the nine-story pagoda?"
"This time, I'm going to turn you into ashes!"
"So what? I can't invade your body. At most, I will give up. If you want to kill me, you have to protect yourself first!"
.....
In a small village with beautiful scenery, a young monk hurriedly walked into the village. In front of the largest building in the innermost part of the village, there were already many expectant villagers. Everyone stretched their necks and looked at the only path.
"He's here, he's here!"
As a monk appeared at the end of the path, the crowd became restless and took the initiative to open a path. In the crowd, an old man with a bent waist and a walking stick stood there. He was the village chief. When he saw the monk, he heaved a sigh of relief.
The monk had a warm smile on his face. Soon, he arrived in the crowd.
"This must be Master Wu Xiang. You are young and promising. It must have been hard for you to come here." The old man didn't wait for the monk to come to him and stepped forward to welcome him.
"It's fine. This is what I should do." Wu Xiang smiled. He didn't seem to mind that he had to travel so far without any reward.
"It's a long journey. I have prepared a light vegetarian meal. I hope you don't mind." The village chief immediately smiled and invited him to go in.
"There's no need. Your situation is so serious, and the higher-ups can't take care of it. Since I know, I can't just ignore it. I want to help everyone get rid of that demon first." Wu Xiang didn't move and spoke to the crowd in a calm voice.
"That … that's not very appropriate. That demon is very powerful. Master, you should rest and recover your energy. Only then will you be confident." The village chief said hesitantly.
"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry. As long as you tell me where the demon is, I will take care of the rest." Wu Xiang knew that the village chief was afraid that he would throw his life away because of his young age.
"Alright then. The demon is in a small stream ten miles from here. It's an extremely ferocious river demon. However, we have to go there to draw water, so we have no choice but to offer sacrifices. We have already sacrificed a few masters. Little Master Wu Xiang, don't force yourself!" The village chief said worriedly.
"That's right. Little Master Wu Xiang, it's good that you can come. Please don't force yourself."
"That's right. It would be bad if you lose your life."
The villagers who were originally full of expectations for Master Wu Xiang were disappointed when they saw his young appearance. However, they still didn't want him to throw his life away.
"Everyone, wait for my triumphant return. Don't worry!" A pagoda appeared in Wu Xiang's hand. It emitted a peaceful aura. The restless mood of the crowd slowly calmed down. Inexplicably, they had more confidence in this young monk.
At the very least, the previous few people didn't have any powerful magic treasures on them.
After Wu Xiang bade farewell, he strode in the direction of the village under the worried gazes of the villagers.
Wu Xiang believed that the demon was definitely not some powerful Big Goblin. However, no matter how powerful it was, he would definitely be able to subdue it.
However, when he reached the entrance of the village, a little girl who looked like she was only four or five years old blocked his path. She wore patched clothes and asked timidly.
"Are you a Bodhisattva?"
"Of course I'm not a Bodhisattva. I'm only here to help you eliminate that demon. You can rest assured in the future," Wu Xiang said calmly. After saying that, he was about to go around her.
"Then can you not kill that demon? That demon is a good one. It even saved me from the river last time. Although they asked us to offer sacrifices, they never harassed us. Last time, my companion, Little Tiger, saw it chasing away other ferocious demons. However, no one believed it," the little girl said.
"Oh? Tell me about it! "Wu Xiang's heart skipped a beat as he asked curiously.
A day later, Wu Xiang returned to the village and went straight to the place where the villagers were gathered. Most of them were still waiting for the results.
"That water demon has been dealt with. You don't have to worry anymore."
Wu Xiang announced to the crowd.
"That's great!"
"Finally, we don't have to worry anymore."
Everyone was excited. The village chief also came to the Five Spice Noodles and said gratefully.
"Thank you. I really don't know what to say!"
"It's fine. I still have other things to do. I won't stay any longer." Wu Xiang waved his hand and rejected the village chief's invitation to stay. He walked back the way he came without looking back.
"Master, is the demon really alright?"
Outside the village, a little woman was holding a little girl's hand and waiting for Wu Xiang.
"Of course he's fine. I've already left something for him. He'll be fine for a few thousand years. He'll also be able to protect you. After that, he'll probably leave." Wu Xiang squatted down and said to the little girl.
"That's great. Thank you, Master Wu Xiang!" The little girl didn't even think before kissing Wu Xiang's cheek. Then, she shyly retreated and hid behind the woman.
"Grandmaster, thank you. Don't those people know? If it weren't for this good monster helping us, we would have been in trouble. This is a kasaya that I personally made. Although it's not very exquisite, it represents my sincerity."
The woman took a kasaya made of different colors and placed it in Wu Xiang's hand.
