On the Avenue.

Chapter 594: Mahasthamaprapta

The immortals from the Fire Camp were walking in Feng'an County. The spirit of General Zhang Xian flew out from above his head. He grabbed the Exorcism Banner and shook it vigorously. Suddenly, the banner became bigger and bigger, and in an instant it turned into a huge banner that was a thousand feet long.

Zhang Xian carefully sensed the Exorcist Banner and said in a deep voice, "I will activate this banner to cover a hundred miles. All teams will move within a hundred miles to search for any movement in Feng'an County. Do your best to check carefully and don't miss any clues."

A group of immortals scattered around and searched the surroundings under the cover of the evil-exorcising banners.

They often looked back to calculate the distance between themselves and the exorcism banner so as not to be too far away.

Zhang Xian's soul leaned on the banner and walked towards the temple of Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta.

Chen Shi did not have a team. He was a lone soldier in the Huozi Camp. He did not follow the others, nor did he follow Zhang Xian.

Zhong Lin followed beside him. Chen Shi was concentrating on refining the two sword energies in the Purple Sky Gourd, while Zhong Lin was looking around.

Hei Guo was the captain of one of the teams. He led his soldiers to spread out in a plum blossom shape, searching for Zhang Xian's left wing.

"Friend Hei!" Bai Fangfang suddenly discovered something and called out softly.

Hei Guo followed the sound and arrived in front of a small town. There were already several immortals gathered in front of the town, each frowning and looking at the town.

Hei Guo looked towards the town and saw that the roads were full of mud. It must have rained not long ago, and the roads were very muddy.

Hei Guo frowned and walked into the town carefully without stepping on the dirt.

The others also stepped on the fairy light and followed it silently.

Hei Guo squatted down and saw an arm in the mud. He could only vaguely see the outline of an arm. The arm had been softened by the rain and could fall apart at any time.

It continued moving forward and saw another clay figure's face.

This person should still be alive. He was pressed down by other people, his body stuck to other people's bodies and difficult to separate. Only his face was exposed, and half of his mouth was submerged in the mud. Bubbles were coming out when he breathed.

"Save me." He made a low cry for help, one eye rolled and the other eye was already dilated by the mud and water.

Black Pot sighed and shook his head.

It can do nothing to help.

Even if the source of the pollution on the avenue is solved, this person cannot be saved.

When he turns into a clay figure, he can still be alive, but if he returns to human form, the injuries on his body will burst out and he will die.

There was a house next to them. Several clay figurines were sitting on the doorstep, staring at them blankly, wood carvings and clay sculptures, not moving at all.

The rain soaked their legs and feet and melted their clothes.

They didn't dare to move, fearing that their legs were not dry yet and could not bear their weight.

Hei Guo and others continued to move forward and saw more and more townspeople. Some were hiding in the rooms, secretly looking out, and some accidentally fell while hiding from the rain, their bodies breaking into four or five pieces, but they were still alive and trying hard to crawl.

Some of them had only half of their faces left, but they could still blink their eyes, as if asking for help.

They saw the clay figure with missing arms and legs standing under the eaves, looking at them with lifeless eyes.

“Is this the pollution of the avenue?”

Bai Fangfang felt it was hard to breathe, she was filled with grief and indignation, and angrily asked, "What on earth could have caused all this?"

The anger in Black Pot's heart calmed down. It had seen similar situations before and knew how to control its emotions.

However, the tragic situation in Xiniu Xinzhou was caused by Tianzun and Yuanchong, so who was responsible for the tragic situation in Feng'an County?

Other teams of the Fire Camp also made their own discoveries. All over Feng'an County, whether human or animal, all were turned into mud and no one was spared.

Chen Shi and Zhong Lin also saw similar situations as they walked along, and their faces were as gloomy as water.

They arrived outside a city and saw from afar some clay figures pulling a cart, on which were piled many deformed clay figures, all dead. The clay figures carefully stopped the cart beside a big pit and threw the dead clay figures in the cart into the pit.

There were countless clay figurines and corpses in the pit.

Zhonglin clenched his teeth and said nothing.

They came to the city, which had just rained some time ago. The surviving clay figures were using shovels to shovel the clay figures stuck on the ground and load them onto the car.

Zhong Lin watched this scene silently, and after a moment, he squeezed out a word from his throat.

“Heaven’s Way—”

Chen Shi suddenly asked, "Where is the rain coming from?"

Zhong Lin was stunned and looked at him in confusion.

Chen Shi looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice: "The entire Feng'an County has been blocked by the troops of the Thunder Department. If I were a master of the Thunder Department, the first thing I would do would be to stop the rain here, so as to prevent the people from being soaked to death by the mud. But it is raining here."

Zhong Lin's heart was slightly moved, and he said, "You mean, the rain in Feng'an County was caused by someone using magical powers?"

Chen Shi nodded gently: "The people here have all been turned into clay figures, and the road has also been polluted. Who can mobilize the magic power to bring rain?"

Zhong Lin's eyes lit up, and he said, "The person who mobilized the magical power to bring rain is most likely the one who caused the pollution of the avenue!"

Chen Shi looked around and flew towards a fairy mountain in the sky. Zhong Lin followed him and they came to the mountain gate. This was a fairy sect with the words "Cangxia" engraved on the mountain gate.

There were some clay figures in the Cangxia Sect. When they saw them coming, they were frightened and hurriedly dodged in all directions.

"Fellow Daoist, we are heavenly soldiers from the Heavenly Court, and we have been ordered to come here to investigate this matter." Zhong Lin said hurriedly.

"So you are a fellow Taoist from Heaven."

The leader of the Cangxia Sect was an old immortal who had also turned into a clay figure. He greeted them and said, "I, An Daozi, am a true immortal who has not yet received the talisman. Don't be surprised, fellow Taoists. Now that we have turned into clay figures, we can hardly protect ourselves. We can't help but be afraid when we see outsiders."

Chen Shi asked, "Friend An, do you know what happened when the disaster occurred?"

An Daozi shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just suddenly felt that my immortal essence was getting heavier and heavier, and my Taoist magic was no longer effective. It wasn't long before my body and soul turned into mud. Even the treasure of my Cangxia Sect was not spared."

He took out the Cangxia Sect's treasured magical weapon, which was the Dragon Capturing Pillar left by Cangxia Taoist, the founder of the Cangxia Sect. Cangxia Taoist survived two calamities but failed the third and died. The Dragon Capturing Pillar was the relic he left to the Cangxia Sect.

Now, the Dragon-Catching Pillar has lost all its power and has turned into a mud stake.

The reason why he took out the dragon-catching pile was that he was worried that Chen Shi and Zhong Lin would take advantage of the situation to rob. After all, this was a place where the avenue was polluted, and when disaster struck, people's hearts were no longer the same, so it would not hurt to be careful.

Chen Shi said: "Although you have turned into a clay figure, I think the immortal's sensing power is still there. I wonder if you have sensed the fluctuations of magical power nearby after the disaster?"

An Daozi said, "Yes, I have. Not long ago, I sensed the fluctuation of magical power coming from the vicinity of Lotus Mountain. Now, even the immortal weapon has turned into mud, and I don't know who can still use magical power. It's very strange."

Zhonglin's heart was slightly moved, and he asked for directions.

The two men immediately went down the mountain and soon arrived at the place An Daozi mentioned.

This place is Lotus Mountain in Feng'an County, named after the arrangement of its peaks like a lotus. In the center of the lotus is a peak called Peng Mountain. Above Peng Mountain are thirteen immortal mountains, known as the Thirteen Pearls of Peng Mountain. There is also an immortal sect on Peng Mountain, calling itself the Immortal Lotus Sect.

At this moment, the Thirteen Pearls of Pengshan are scattered all over the place, some of the fairy mountains have collapsed, and some of them have cracked. It should be that a great battle had taken place not long ago.

When Chen Shi and Zhong Lin arrived here, they saw that all the people from the Xianlian Sect had turned into clay figures. Most of them were already dead, their bodies shattered by the aftermath of the magical power. Even those that were not dead were shattered to pieces, with their limbs mutilated.

Zhong Lin moved quickly, searching for living people, while Chen Shi was observing the traces left by the battle.

Zhonglin searched around and gathered together many broken limbs to piece together several clay figures.

Zhong Lin asked, "Who is the one who used his magical power to kill people?"

The clay figures moved their eyes and opened their mouths, but they only made squeaking sounds and could not utter a single word.

Chen Shi's voice came from a distance: "It's useless to piece them together. Their spirits and souls are broken. You can't save them by piecing them together."

Zhong Lin frowned slightly and came to his side, only to see Chen Shi observing one of the mountains.

A huge palm print was left on the mountain peak, deeply embedded in the mountain, extremely powerful and domineering.

"The Buddhist seal, the Mahanara seal!" Zhong Lin said.

Chen Shi stepped forward, came to the palm print, rubbed it on the mountain, looked down, his hands were full of mud, and said: "This should be the palm print left by the clay Buddha."

Zhong Lin's heart was slightly moved, and he said, "Could it be that the Clay Buddha is the culprit? He caused the pollution of the avenue, and then began to cast a spell to rain, trying to destroy all life!"

He looked around and said, "The reason why he came to the Xianlian Sect is because this is an immortal sect. He was worried that these people might not be dead, so he came to wipe out the roots."

Chen Shi asked: "Why did the clay Buddha do this?"

Zhong Lin said: "He should be a great demon, occupying the golden body of Mahasthamaprapta, causing this pollution of the avenue."

Chen Shi asked, "Why does he know the Buddhist seal method?"

Zhonglin frowned.

"Because he is a Buddhist."

Chen Shi asked and answered himself, saying, "He is the Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta."

He flew up and flew far away, and a voice came: "Let's go find this clay Buddha!"

Zhonglin hurriedly followed him, following the traces left by the destruction of the clay Buddha.

After running for dozens of miles, they were about to run out of the coverage of the Exorcism Banner when suddenly there was a loud bang in front of them, followed by loud Sanskrit sounds, and a burst of light and heat came in front of them, as if an enormous sun suddenly appeared from the ground and pressed towards them!

"Clay Buddha!"

Chen Shi and Zhong Lin said in unison.

In front of the sun, a six-foot-tall clay Buddha rose up slowly. He raised his hand to make a seal, and the seal came along with the sun!

The light and heat became extremely unrestrained in an instant, as if the Tao became unusually lively. This way of practicing Taoism was something Chen Shi had never seen before!

Can't stop!
He instantly reviewed all the moves he had learned before, and immediately realized that he would never be able to block this attack!
Suddenly, the Blue Dragon Chant that he had comprehended from the Lingbao Green Stele emerged in his mind, and without thinking, he activated the seal.

Zhong Lin heard an exciting dragon roar, and then he felt that the energy of the Eastern Sky Blue Dragon between heaven and earth became unusually lively and violent. Even his skin was itchy, as if it was going to grow dragon scales, turn into a dragon body, and grow dragon horns!

Immediately, green gas filled the sky and huge dragon scales filled his vision, preventing him from seeing anything else.

The heaven and earth shook violently, and Zhong Lin felt that all other sounds disappeared, leaving only the crackling sound, like the piercing noise of space being torn apart!
His body bounced high, as if an invisible giant swung a huge hammer to hit him and knocked him away!

"Oops!"

His mind went blank, "I'm afraid I'll be blown away a hundred miles away!"

At this moment, a large banner flew over and wrapped around his body.

Zhong Lin stopped and saw Zhang Xian leading the soldiers of the Fire Camp rushing over.

Chen Shi's hair was flying and his clothes were bursting, and the surging Green Dragon Qi was still surging in his body and around him.

The Clay Buddha was surprised to see that he could actually take his attack, and immediately attacked again, using the Mahanaba Seal, with an even more domineering momentum than before.

This seal produced the image of a wrathful Buddha. Thousands of Buddhas appeared behind him, and they all raised their palms, formed seals, and attacked Chen Shi!

Chen Shi once again mobilized the Azure Dragon energy between heaven and earth, and chanted the Azure Dragon's Roar, taking the attack head-on.

"That's the only trick he knows!"

The Clay Buddha immediately saw the clue and was about to change his tactics to kill him, when suddenly a number of immortal swords flew over and formed a formation in mid-air. It was the Hunyuan Sword Formation, with one layer after another, extremely complex, but it operated in an orderly manner.

Hei Guo also controlled 1,200 immortals from the Huozi Camp, set up the Hunyuan Sword Formation, and rushed to support Chen Shi.

The soldiers of the Fire Camp were all new recruits and were simply unable to form such a skilled formation, but they saw the sword energy penetrate the sky and reach the clouds, with great power.

The clay Buddha's face suddenly changed. He didn't dare to confront the sword formation head-on. He immediately left Chen Shi behind, flew up and flew out.

However, the formation was already formed, covering him and about to be included in it, the clay Buddha used his fists and feet all the way, and fought his way out before the outer formation closed in. Wherever he passed, the heavenly soldiers were knocked to the ground!
The formation was broken, and Hei Guo was frightened and dared not to pursue.

Zhang Xian, the general, was carrying a banner to exorcise evil spirits in the back. He rushed over and shouted from a distance, "What happened?"

Chen Shi stabilized his turbulent blood and suddenly flew up, shouting: "Black pot, Yin Yang Dojo!"

Hei Guo shouted, stood up, raised his hand to grab the flying iron ruler, raised his foot and stomped it hard, and the Yin-Yang Dojo erupted.

At the same time, Yin-Yang Dojo also erupted around Chen Shi.

Two Yin-Yang Taoist temples overlapped, and a man and a dog rushed forward at the same time, heading straight for the clay Buddha.

Zhang Xian screamed, "What are you doing? Come back quickly and don't run out of the range of the Exorcist Banner!"

As they were talking, Chen Shi and Hei Guo had already rushed out of a hundred miles and entered the polluted area of ​​the avenue.

Although the pollution of the avenue here is not as severe as the pollution caused by the Yuan insects, the Yuan insects are mainly evil spirits, and Chen Shi has never encountered this kind of pollution of the avenue before.

He had no confidence whether his Yin-Yang Dojo could withstand the pollution of the Great Dao.

The moment he and Hei Guo rushed out of the coverage of the Exorcist Banner, the circulation of the Yin and Yang energies began to stagnate, and this external path began to affect the Yin and Yang Avenue!
Although the impact was very minor, if he continued walking, he would definitely turn into a clay figure in two days!

“Although it is not as good as the Yuan Bug, it is extremely strange and is an alien avenue that I have never explored.”

Chen Shi walked straight towards the clay Buddha without stopping, and said silently in his heart, "The Exorcist Banner can only last for one day, it's not as good as me and the Black Pot!"
