I can't be a demon.

Chapter 387: The Bodhisattva in the Formation of a Pupa Travels West
Kong Zhu swallowed his saliva, and then scriptures surged between his eyebrows.

His head flickered with a faint light, and the Xiaozhu Sutra illuminated his entire body in the Niwan Palace. Suddenly, a mysterious aura appeared in the air.

boom.

A brilliant Buddha light suddenly appeared, vaguely forming a stairway leading to the sky.

"Great Immortal, I have to take the Fire Ghost that is grazing in the underworld to the Holy Mountain. Do you think it would be convenient for me to wait for a while?"

"can."

Kong Zhuo's attitude was very respectful, fearing that the martial arts scriptures would backfire.

He took out a glass lamp. As a treasure of the lowest rank, it had a very simple function and could only be used to attract fire ghosts.

Kong Zhuo glanced at Shen Lian, who was looking at the stairs.

He shook the glass lamp.

The invisible light swept over, instantly causing Qianli to palpitate, and suddenly more than a dozen giant fire ghosts rushed over.

Kong Zhuo seemed a little helpless. Because of Shen Lian, the number of giant fire ghosts was greatly reduced, otherwise there should be forty or fifty of them.

"Hey, I originally thought that Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva would have more boys under his seat, but now it seems that this person is definitely not a good person."

When the giant fire ghosts approached the glass lamp, they shrank to the size of fingernails and transformed into strange fireflies and sank into the treasure.

Kong Zhuo put away the glass lamp and asked softly.

"Great Immortal, this is the Ten Thousand Steps Sea of ​​Bitterness of the Western Lingshan Mountain. Every step you take will cause you to endure the torment of the Buddha's light burning your body and soul. The only way is..."

Before Kong Zhuo could finish his words, Shen Lian had already stepped onto the Ten Thousand Steps Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Shen Lian's flesh sizzled, a sound that made Kong Zhuo shudder. White smoke came out of his pores, and his entire body seemed to be evaporating.

He had a blank expression on his face, and even a hint of joy flashed through his eyes.

The most outrageous thing is the crow on the shoulder, leaning drowsily against the neck, without a trace of the Buddha's light of the Ten Thousand Steps Sea of ​​Bitterness on its body.

"hiss."

Kong Zhuo sucked in a breath of cold air. The Ten Thousand Steps Sea of ​​Bitterness must be protected by the Xiaozhu Sutra, otherwise the earthly immortal would be killed within a hundred steps.

But Shen Lian was not affected. Instead, he was a little... eager to try?
You know, Shen Lian was carrying four demons with him, so the amount of suffering he had to endure should have been more than five times as much, which was simply outrageous.

"Great Immortal, the cave we are in is governed by the ancient Buddha Ran Deng, so we need the protection of the Xiao Zhu Sutra to ascend. The Sutra must at least reach the middle level, otherwise we will not be able to survive until the Holy Mountain."

Kong Zhuo felt more and more guilty as he spoke. Shen Lian's performance did not seem forced at all.

"It's okay, don't pay attention to me. You can go ahead and wait for me at the end of the Ten Thousand Steps Sea of ​​Bitterness. Don't worry, it won't take too long."

"Great Immortal, you have the final say."

With his mouth wide open and relying on the skin of Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta, he walked through the sea of ​​suffering as if walking on flat ground without consuming any additional scriptures.

He looked back and saw Shen Lian still resisting the erosion of the Buddha's light in his body and soul.

Not sure if it was an illusion, Kong Zhuo noticed that although he did not use the Xiaozhu Sutra, his walking speed became faster and faster.

"If I die in the Ten Thousand Steps Sea of ​​Bitterness, I will be liberated."

As soon as the thought came to his mind, the pain in his body and soul almost made Kong Zhuo go crazy.

He didn't dare to have any more wild thoughts and hurriedly climbed up Lingshan Mountain. He could still hear Shen Lian's strange laughter in his ears.

“It’s so comfortable.”

Shen Lian couldn't help but sigh, which attracted the staring look of contempt from the mynah bird.

"Stupid~~"

"You don't understand. Lingshan is absolutely a treasure land to me."

Shen Lian secretly felt fortunate that he chose to ascend to Lingshan ahead of time. Only now did he discover the miraculous effects of Buddha's light, which was truly a tonic.

Even though the Buddha's light is extremely corrosive, the Prajna Buddha body he possesses can absorb 40% of it, while the heart of Sakyamuni can digest an additional 20%. The food-replenishing supernatural power can also increase its efficiency.

After all this, Shen Lian could feel that the benefits outweighed the harm.

The three-gate Vajra indestructible body also has some tendency to advance to great perfection.

Shen Lian only needs to activate the Xiaozhu Sutra to protect the Niwan Palace, and then walk step by step. After crossing the sea of ​​suffering, he will be reborn.

"Hey hey hey."

Shen Lian closed his eyes with a smile, and simply walked while consolidating his cultivation.

The rich resources used to encircle and suppress the Fire Ghost have not yet been completely digested, but the liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys have already been branded, and now only the four hearts are missing.

The large amount of surplus elixirs are all brewed into medicinal wine and are being dumped like crazy.

[True Scripture: Martial Arts (Mahayana 92.75%)]

[True Scripture: Night Candle (Medium 28.97%)]

Shen Lian swept the Niwan Palace, and after the Xiaozhu Sutra was promoted to the middle level, it had changed from a small bright spot at the beginning to a flame, burning slowly.

"The ancient Buddha Dipankara is a firefly. In a sense, they are indeed a match."

Shen Lian sneered, selected a heart and imprinted the scriptures on it, while at the same time unreservedly activating the three gates of his Vajra Indestructible Body.

There was no one watching, and the sound of the three martial arts training together was deafening.

A sound similar to sawing wood came from Shen Lian's body, mixed with the wild beating of his heart, and the strange phenomenon of his body refining was almost like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting.

.........

Kong Zhuo hurried to the end of the Ten Thousand Steps Sea of ​​Bitterness, mainly because his skin could not last too long and the previous damage had not been repaired.

The Buddha's light that leads people to ascend is extremely bright, and the half-real and half-virtual stairs are also covered with gems.

But the western sacred mountain at the end is desolate.

The so-called upper realm is just a pile of mountains with no vegetation on the surface, only densely packed caves, and no one knows where they lead to.

The empty beak took off the skin, and the ownerless skin let out a series of wails.

Before he could react, the skin bag broke free and sank into the cave, moving like a living insect.

"Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva will emerge from his cocoon in a hundred years at most."

"Oh, I wonder how far I have to travel west."

Kong Zhuo couldn't help but mutter when he saw this, his words filled with fear.

From his perspective, the mountains looked like giant insect eggs, wriggling slightly, and the caves were like breathing holes.

"Empty peck."

Kong Zhu frowned slightly, turned around and noticed a monk coming towards him.

"Kong Xin, shouldn't you be responsible for carrying food for Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva? Why did you come all the way to greet me?"

He glanced at the Wanbu Kuhai with his peripheral vision, not wanting Kong Xin to know of Shen Lian's existence.

Kong Xin's face turned pale, and he explained at a loss, "The Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta has stopped eating, and it is very likely that he will be born into the world ahead of time."

"What?!!"

Kong Zhuo was horrified. The number of fire ghosts he was herding was not enough, and when Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta woke up, he would definitely hold him accountable.

Kong Xin sighed and said, "Kong Zhuo, if you have time, please come to the Bodhisattva's liver. We thirteen offering boys need to discuss this."

"Yes, I understand."

Kong Zhuo agreed perfunctorily, and inexplicably felt the temperature of the Wanbu Sea of ​​Bitterness rise sharply.

Kong Xin was about to return to the mountains when he suddenly realized that something was wrong with Kong Zhuo. If he listened carefully, he would hear footsteps approaching from afar in the Wanbu Bitter Sea.

"Empty Peck, what the hell did you bring from the underworld?"

"No, you go back first, I will explain to you later."

Kong Xin said coldly: "Kong Zhuo, you dare to have evil thoughts. Aren't you afraid that after the Bodhisattva wakes up, he will tear out your tendons and bones, imprison you in his stomach and turn you into a mindless roundworm monster..."

Kong Zhuo shuddered all over, and the blood and energy rushing towards him from behind interrupted his words.

A Buddhist bead appeared in Kongxin's palm, and he waited for the figure to arrive. "It turns out that he is a mortal who sneaked in from the mortal world. His body is really good. Kongzhuo, do you want to use him to make pills?"

The figure stopped.

Hollow said greedily: "Give me his internal organs and half of his limbs, otherwise I will tell my eldest brother." "Hey."

Kong Zhuo asked without joy or sadness: "Kong Xin, you entered the sect a thousand years later than me, and you were promoted to Earth Immortal not long ago, right?"

"That's why I need a superior elixir even more. Why don't you give it to me? If there are mortals like you in the future, I can help you conceal your aura and no one will notice it."

Kong Zhuo continued to ask with pity: "Have you mastered the Supreme Dharma Protector Heart Sutra?"

"No, what's wrong..."

Before the hollow words were finished, the figure in the Ten Thousand Steps Sea of ​​Bitterness exerted force with its legs and instantly crossed a hundred meters, and the energy and blood it exuded seemed to be substantial.

"If you don't master the Supreme Dharma Protector Heart Sutra, you will be in trouble."

After Kong Zhuo finished speaking, Kong Xin subconsciously used the Buddhist beads to block his chest.

boom! ! !
The hollow pupil shrank slightly, and the figure walked out of the Ten Thousand Steps Sea of ​​Bitterness in an instant. Because of the fast speed, the skin and flesh were covered with burn marks.

Shen Lian smiled grimly, then punched out with his strong right arm.

The well-defined muscles seemed to contain infinite power. He turned his fist into a palm and slammed it hard on the Buddhist beads, releasing terrifying power.

"kindness?"

Kong Xin lost the sense of the Buddhist beads, and then the beads disappeared from his sight.

He touched his forehead belatedly and found that the Buddhist beads had pierced through his head, accurately destroying the Niwan Palace and even shattering his soul into pieces.

Shen Lian grabbed the hollow head and with a slight shake, the flesh and blood separated from the bone armor.

Empty pecks make your scalp tingle.

If he had not been wearing a leather bag before, he would not have been able to block Shen Lian's punches with his own flesh and blood. Where did this person come from? !
Shen Lian destroyed the corpse and put the hollow soul into his lower dantian.

"Great Immortal, after Kong Xin's death, our eldest brother, headed by the Thirteen Boys, should soon notice it. What should we do then?"

Bang bang bang.

The teeth-grinding sound of bones colliding echoed.

Kong Zhuo opened his mouth wide and watched Shen Lian's aura change drastically, transforming little by little into a hollow appearance, with the aura of his body and soul exactly the same.

"How is it? Is it okay to fool the senior brother?"

"kindness……"

Kong Zhuo said hesitantly: "Great Immortal, but the Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta is about to be born. Let's leave this sacred mountain as soon as possible."

He knew that he could no longer be a sacrificial boy, and the only way to survive was to follow Shen Lian.

"Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, is it this?"

Shen Lian pointed to a giant mountain of seven or eight hundred meters, and received an affirmative answer from Kong Zhuo.

"Tell me more specifically."

He looked around roughly and found that there were at least seven or eight similar mountains within a thousand miles. They were probably all the sacred mountains where Bodhisattvas transformed themselves into pupae.

"Uh."

Kong Zhuo thought for a moment before speaking, "Our worshipper has been living in the body of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva. His internal organs are the temple, which is specially used to maintain the fragile organs during the transformation from a pupa."

"It seems there is more than one sacred mountain. I'm curious what the sacred mountain of Mahasthamaprapta is called?"

"Protect the sacred mountain."

Shen Lian became more and more curious about the ecology of the Western Lingshan Mountain. This place was too weird, and completely different from the pavilions and towers before the catastrophe of heaven and earth.

"Haha, what will happen when Mahasthamaprapta wakes up?"

"They usually consume a lot of food in preparation for the next pupation, so most of our work is about stockpiling food."

The Ten Thousand Steps Sea of ​​Bitterness slowly dissipated. Kong Zhuo led the way in front, taking Shen Lian into a remote cave in the Hunian Lingshan Mountain.

Although the rock wall is similar to rock material, it has the texture of flesh and blood.

The pupation of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva is exactly the same as the pupation in nature.

The flesh, blood and bones dissolved and then reshaped inside the insect pupae. This was not an isolated case. The Western Sacred Mountains were actually covered with insect pupae.

"and then?"

"what?"

"Did Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva have no other actions after waking up?"

"Another point."

Kong Zhuo licked his lips and said, "Mahasthamaprapta will continue to crawl towards the west, and will not stop until the next time he transforms into a pupa."

"Go west."

Shen Lian repeated several times in his mind that the curse about the journey to the west would never end.

"Great Immortal, the more times a Buddha transforms into a pupa, the stronger his realm will be. Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva has already experienced sixteen transformations. If he continues for eight more, he will become a true Buddha."

Shen Lian suddenly felt that the many Buddhas were like moths to a flame.

Twenty-four transformations into pupae constitute one cycle. If nothing unexpected happens, the True Buddha will still transform into a pupae, and will eventually reach the end and attain transcendence naturally.

Shen Lian could sense that Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva was at the level of a celestial being.

Then the true Buddha is the Daluo Golden Immortal.

He suspected that the Golden Immortals who once stood at the top of Lingshan Mountain in Heaven are probably countless now, and God knows what the scene will be like at the end.

"How long will it take for Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva to finish his transformation into a pupa?"

"It used to take about a hundred years, but now it may take 40 to 50 years."

"Look, great immortal."

Kong Zhuo stroked the rock wall lightly, and his palm was stained with pungent blood.

"The physical body of Mahasthamaprapta has begun to reshape itself. It won't be long before the Guardian Spiritual Mountain becomes extremely dangerous."

Shen Lian secretly displayed his supernatural power of wisdom eye.

【Da Shi Zhi larvae】

[It was formed by the Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta being parasitized by the true sutra. It has already undergone the sixteenth pupation and is gradually transforming into a brand new adult.]

"My goodness, all the immortals and Buddhas in the sky have become stink bugs."

"It would be better for me to die than to live like this."

Shen Lian turned around and said, "Kong Zhuo, is there a place in Hu Nian Lingshan that records the inheritance of the Taoist tradition? If not, we will leave immediately."

"Have."

Kong Zhuo's mind was full of thoughts of escaping, but the martial arts scriptures prevented him from telling lies.

"The Sutra Library is in the Niwan Palace, but now the position of the pupa organs is disordered, and I don't know where the Niwan Palace is."

"Let's look for it."

Shen Lian slapped the bone blade, and an endless shadow spread out.

Kong Zhuo wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Kong Xin mentioned earlier that the thirteen worshippers are going to discuss the birth of the Bodhisattva in the Liver Temple. Do you think we should go there?"

"is it necessary?"

"It seems... not."

Shen Lian communicated with the bone blade with his consciousness, and then said: "There is the aura of Niwan Palace at the top of the northwest mountain. You lead the way."

Kong Zhu nodded, and released Buddha's light to illuminate the way ahead.

He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for him. He had to live in the Hunian Lingshan Mountain, otherwise the Xiaozhu Sutra in his body would slowly weaken.

The Martial Arts Sutra brings another path, but unfortunately the dangers are unknown.

Kong Zhuo glanced at Shen Lian and vaguely saw the Buddha's light emanating from Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta, which was continuously pouring into Shen Lian's body.

Compared to the Bodhisattva in pupae form, he is indeed more like... Buddha?
