Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 317: The sky is falling and the ground is surging with golden lotus

Just as the giant axe was about to chop down the Buddha statue, the four Dharma-protecting Vajra statues standing on both sides suddenly moved.

The Eastern Heavenly King Dhritarashtra holds a jade pipa;
The Southern Heavenly King, holding the Azure Cloud Sword;
The Western Heavenly King Guangmu holds a red chain snake;
The Northern Heavenly King, Vaisravana, holds the Hunyuan Umbrella!
The four Vajra Dharma Protectors, who were several dozen feet tall, stood like four mountains in front of the giant Buddha statue. Moreover, their clothes and armor were vivid and lifelike, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not the eight hundred Arhat statues outside.

Xiao Hui snorted coldly, and was about to get rid of the four troublesome guys first, but he heard someone shouting behind him: "Your Majesty, leave it to us!"

It was the chief and deputy chief of Mengzhang Guard, Wei Zheng, Wu Zhe, chief of Zhiming Guard, Tan Tai Po Lu, chief of Jianbing Guard, Huangfu Pingzhang, the four chiefs of Gou Chen Si who had arrived.

The fifth dimension had not yet been upgraded to the Nine Apertures, so he was not arranged to go into battle. Instead, Wu Zhe, a veteran Nine Aperture, took over.

"Okay, this is the fight between the four guardians and the four Vajra. " Xiao Hui followed their advice and gave the four Vajra to them.

"That's right!" As the four great guardians said this, their yang spirits left their bodies at the same time, transforming into golden-armored giants several dozen feet tall, confronting the Four Heavenly Kings head-on!

Huangfu Pingzhang raised the golden flute to his lips and was the first to play the "Song of the Blue Sky and Yellow Spring". The notes condensed into thousands of evil spirits and pounced on the Four Heavenly Kings!

Dhritarashtra immediately plucked the pipa, playing the Sanskrit sound of the Lotus Sutra, and thousands of golden swastika symbols met the evil spirits in the sky. As they touched them, the evil spirits screamed and turned into black gas and disappeared.

Unexpectedly, the sound of Huangfu Pingzhang's music changed, and the evil ghost turned into a flying fairy again. It was no longer afraid of the thousands of golden '卍' symbols, and it danced around the Four Heavenly Kings with a sweet smile, causing them to shake their heavy bodies involuntarily.

Seeing this, Dhritarashtra also changed the sound of his pipa. Suddenly, the scene in front of him turned into a hell of bones, and the flying celestials turned into red-faced skeletons...

The Heavenly King of Vaisravana was not affected. But he suddenly saw Wei Zheng's mace, which was already wrapped in thunder and lightning, smashing down. He quickly opened his treasure umbrella and spun out three thousand Sanskrit golden circles to block this heavy blow for his companion, but the mace's mace pierced through the umbrella...

Tan Tai Po Lu swung his huge black iron axe towards Guang Mu Tian Wang, and the extremely cold energy bursting out of the axe blade was trying to freeze the red snake on his arm into an ice sculpture. But the red snake moved as fast as lightning and barely dodged the axe, instead opening its bloody mouth and biting Tan Tai Po Lu's face.

Tan Tai Po Lu quickly turned his head to avoid it, but he was caught off guard by the fire that spewed out of the red snake's mouth, burning half of his face. He was also very fierce, and he endured the severe pain that burned his soul, grabbed the red snake's vital point, and squeezed it hard, killing it in his hand!
Looking at Wu Zhe again, he was already holding the Seven Star Sword, fighting fiercely with the Heavenly King Zhangzhang who was holding the Blue Cloud Sword. As the Heavenly King roared, the Blue Cloud Sword transformed into nine indestructible rays of light and shot towards Wu Zhe.

Wu Zhe, however, remained calm and unhurried. He took the Yu Step and drew the light of the Big Dipper to resist him. His swords and sabers were everywhere, and the ground around him was cracking and the sky was collapsing. It was difficult to tell who would win.

~~
With the four guards holding back the four heavenly kings, Xiao Hui successfully rushed to the hundred-foot-tall Buddha statue.

This Buddha statue is the only channel connecting dreams and reality. As long as it is chopped into pieces, the tentacles of the dream god Wu Yang that absorb the nightmares of the people of Daliang can be cut off, and the ghost hidden above the heads of the Xiaoliang royal family will sleep for more than a hundred years!

"Ancestors, help me succeed!" Xiao Hui took a deep breath, tore off the golden armor on his body, and released the divine power that had been accumulated for three whole years!

In the blood light rising into the sky, Xiao Hui's body suddenly grew several times larger, his muscles became knotted, and his long hair fluttered in the wind, as if an ancient demon god had descended to the world!
The sword in his hand also turned into a giant mountain-splitting axe over ten feet long. He held the axe with both hands, and, using all his strength, he chopped down the Buddha statue!
"Crush it for me!"

The power contained in this axe is enough to split the stars!
The gust of wind that was rolled up by the giant Buddha split the numerous monasteries behind the giant Buddha in half. The powerful impact force continued to fly towards the North Peak, splitting the Toudao Ridge, which was also over a hundred feet high and shaped like a monk, in half, and collapsed with a loud bang...

After three years of silence, when one does, it's a surprise!
However, Xiao Hui's face showed an expression of extreme horror - because the hundred-foot-tall Buddha statue, which had been pointing one hand to the sky and the other to the ground, motionless since the day it was built, actually moved!
The Buddha statue slowly raised its finger pointing to the ground. Although the movement seemed very slow, the fingertip accurately touched the blade of his axe. It was like the Buddha statue's own space-time was different from the surrounding time flow.

Xiao Hui had never been so frightened before. He hurriedly tried to retract his axe, but the axe blade seemed to have taken root and did not move at all on the index finger of the Buddha statue.

What’s even more terrifying is that even his hands holding the axe handle were unable to move.

Xiao Hui tried his best to break free, but was unable to do so. He could only watch helplessly as the giant axe began to dissolve into thousands of golden points from the axe blade.

Soon, the entire axe blade turned into golden light, followed by the axe handle, and then his hands.

Xiao Hui was horrified and decided to cut off his arm to save his life, but his body was completely out of control and he could only watch his arm turn into golden light, followed by his torso, head and legs...

But in the eyes of Xiao Wei and others, it seemed that Xiao Hui was hit by a finger at the moment he hit the Buddha statue, and instantly turned into thousands of golden points.

Xiao Wei didn't even have time to shout, let alone rescue Xiao Hui. He could only watch as the millions of golden rays turned into mandala flowers and fell from the sky amid the sound of Sanskrit.

At the same time, golden lotuses appeared on the ground. The cruel Shura field that was just a mess of blood and flesh turned into a paradise of bliss with golden lotuses appearing on the ground.

Amid the chaos, both sides lost all will to fight. Even the most frantic Liang army soldiers had the bloodshot in their eyes faded away like the tide, and their vision regained clarity.

They looked around in confusion and saw the Buddha appear. They involuntarily dropped their weapons, knelt down on the ground, and prayed to the Buddha to forgive their sins.

The four great guardians were in a slightly better condition, but they had lost all desire to fight and all looked at Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei struggled to resist the Buddha's powerful will, and at the same time, he shouted with all his strength, "Run!"

His voice was as soft as a woman's, and it seemed that he was already in extreme fear and stress.

How could the four guardians not know what it meant for this Buddha statue to kill Xiao Hui in an instant? They wanted to disappear immediately, but none of them could move. Even their Yang Shen, who could fly thousands of miles in an instant, seemed to be frozen and could not leave Tongtai Temple even a step...

On that day, all the princes, nobles, and common people in Jiankang City saw with their own eyes the divine appearance of the hundred-foot-high Buddha statue standing high on Purple Mountain.

The Buddha's eyes shone with wisdom and compassion, and he began to preach:

"The sea of suffering is boundless, turn back and you will find the shore. Put down the butcher knife and you will become a Buddha right away..."

The people in the city no longer had any other thoughts and all knelt down devoutly.
