This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 126: Demons and Evil Spirits Hidden in the Buddha's Light Realm

In the Wanzhang Foguang Temple, it seemed that only Zhuang Lin and the Buddha statues in the temple were left, as well as the rich smell of incense that filled the temple.

When Zhuang Lin reached the back part of the temple, he could see the main hall of the male prime minister to the left and the main hall of the female prime minister to the right. Because of the flow of people passing by before, all the doors were wide open.

In Zhuang Lin's sight, in the two halls suppressed by the righteous spirit, he could see two majestic Buddha statues in the distance, with their brows lowered and a peaceful look on their faces.

Zhuang Lin smiled. He could feel an emotion, an indescribable mixture of anger, seriousness, and even compassion, but the largest proportion of it was closer to fear.

Would Buddha be afraid?
"I'm sorry to disappoint you all. I'm not just a mortal scholar!"

Zhuang Lin's calm voice rang out again, reaching the main halls on both sides and the pagoda behind.

Zhuang Lin certainly knew why so many monks were allowed to come and kill him. Perhaps it was because a great scholar with a righteous spirit came here, and gods, ghosts, demons, and monsters could not harm him, but humans could!

Even if many things can be turned into good fortune, and even if these monks are not ordinary people, there are so many monks here, what if?
However, this plan should have been dashed long ago. Zhuang Lin had no intention of being timid when he came in.

"Good! So it's the Confucian Immortal of this world who has come to this place of infinite compassion. There must be some misunderstanding."

A male voice came from the male hall over there, and the mouth of the golden Buddha statue in the hall seemed to be opening and closing. After the voice fell, a female voice came from the female hall on the right, and it was also the golden Buddha statue that spoke.

"We are compassionate and help others, and we educate the world with Confucianism and Taoism. Our original intention is to do good and dedicate ourselves to the world."

At this point, the woman's voice and the man's and woman's voices spoke in unison.

"I am the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion and Great Mercy, Heavenly Sound, sitting here to open up a world of goodness. The Buddha's light shines upon all beings, saving them. Good indeed—"

The Buddhist chanting was calm, but the sound grew louder and louder, spreading from the two main halls, throughout the entire Wanzhang Foguang Temple, and even out of the temple, allowing many curious pilgrims who were still waiting outside to hear it clearly.

Outside the temple, someone exclaimed excitedly.

"Tianyin Bodhisattva?"

"It's the Bodhisattva who has appeared! The Bodhisattva who has appeared—"

"Could it really be the Bodhisattva appearing? Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"Pray first!" "Yes, yes, yes, pray first, and then we'll talk. God bless me and help me achieve great success!"

"Guarantee me abundant wealth and numerous concubines!"

Amidst the sounds of Buddhist chants, many pilgrims who were still outside bowed their heads in worship. Some performed formal greetings while others even knelt and kowtowed towards the temple.

Liu Hongyu and Zhao Chenyu were just outside, and seeing some people around them bowing, they both felt it was a bit ridiculous.

"Crazy, crazy, all crazy, this is obviously very weird!"

Zhao Chenyu couldn't help but say this. At this moment when it was obvious that something strange had happened, they were still able to worship. Perhaps it was because many people were not in the temple just now. Then, those who were in the temple just now were also worshipping!
Inside the temple, Zhuang Lin seemed bewildered by the voice. His eyes closed slightly, and the light of his righteous spirit seemed to recede.
But deep in Zhuang Lin's mind, he felt something, as if he heard some silent roar approaching rapidly.

The next moment, Zhuang Lin suddenly opened his eyes. Two giant golden fingers appeared on either side of his body, only an arm's length away from his head.
At this moment, Zhuang Lin seemed to be strolling in the garden. He took a step to the side, and almost at the same time, two golden fingers, one on the left and one on the right, almost touched where his head had just been, and now they also touched together.

"when--"

The bronze and golden fingers collided with each other, making a loud sound like a bell, and even set off a strong wind, and the dust and gravel on the ground were swept in all directions at the same time.
Woo woo woo
The strong wind made Zhuang Lin's hair fly wildly and his clothes rustle wildly, but his expression remained calm. He slowly opened his eyes again and saw two giant golden palms coming towards his face.

"Woo" "Woo"

"Boom——" "Boom——"

Two furrows had been plowed into the ground where Zhuang Lin had originally stood. Stepping through the dust and smoke, he descended into the air and saw two bronze Buddha statues, one male and one female, representing the Bodhisattva Tianyin.

"Monster——" "Die——"

The man and woman roared respectively, and after one palm missed, they each raised their other hand and swung it towards Zhuang Lin in the air with a whistling sound, one on the left and one on the right, just right.

"Boom-"

The loud noise was like a raging sea, spreading out like an explosion in an instant. At the same time, the ground of the Buddhist temple also cracked, and cracks appeared on the walls on all four sides.

Outside the temple, the people who had just kowtowed to the Buddha were all stunned by the loud noise. Everyone held their ears and howled in pain. Eighty to ninety percent of the people had bleeding ears and became deaf.
Some of the horses on the carriages struggled in agitation, and many even broke free from the reins and ran out, pulling the carriages at a run.

Zhao Chenyu was also shaken by the loud noise, but Liu Hongyu immediately protected his ears to prevent him from getting hurt! "What happened in there?"

“I don’t know either.”

Liu Hongyu responded like this, but he was very excited in his heart. Has it started? I really want to go in and take a look!

Liu Hongyu had no worries about his master. As someone who had waited for a thousand years for his existence, his master was the only immortal in the world. Even if he needed to be restored due to the erosion of time, it was not something that these villains who were wreaking havoc on the world could do anything about.

"You dare not confront the righteous spirit with your true form, so you hide inside a bronze and golden body bathed in incense and fight me. That's a good idea."

Zhuang Lin praised him, and his whole body appeared like an illusion brought by a wisp of smoke, from virtuality to reality, above the two Buddha hands where the two golden Buddha statues collided.

"Buddha, I'm afraid you forgot to place the auspicious mole between your eyebrows. Zhuang is here to help you!"

As soon as the words came out, Zhuang Lin moved to the shoulder of a Buddha statue, and pointed at the other person when he turned his head.

A red light flew out from the sleeve and instantly turned into a wooden sword when it landed outside Zhuang Lin's sleeve. It pierced through the forehead of the Buddha statue along the sword finger and fell into Zhuang Lin's palm with a red light. It was the wooden sword Chi Xuan.

At this moment, the wooden sword has turned as red as blood.

After the sword pierced through the Buddha statue's eyebrows, a thick black mist suddenly gushed out from the front and back of the bronze Buddha statue's eyebrows.

"bang"

There was another loud bang, and Zhuang Lin raised his left hand to block the fist from another giant Buddha. His body floated directly into the air with this force, and his long sword pointed downwards.

shuh~
In an instant, the red sword in Zhuang Lin's hand disappeared, and the red light appeared again, passing through the skull of another female Buddha, and then returned to Zhuang Lin's hand.

Black gas began to gush out from the sword edges of the two Buddha statues at the same time, mixed with a strong aroma of incense, which blended together and made it difficult to distinguish the fragrance from the stench.

Zhuang Lin frowned slightly, and suddenly realized that he was shrouded in a shadow. Looking up, he saw a huge tower falling.

"Boom——"

A loud bang brought up billowing smoke and dust, and the entire Wanzhang Foguang Temple area felt as if the earth was shaking. Many pilgrims outside the temple who were originally covering their ears and screaming in pain could not stand steadily.

Many people retreated in panic. No one dared to stand here anymore. They all ran away without time.

Zhao Chenyu only managed to avoid falling with the support of Liu Hongyu. The two of them retreated together, one of them was really panicking and wanted to run, while the other kept his eyes on the interior of the temple.

When he saw the black air spreading, Liu Hongyu narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, it finally appeared!

Although he had known for a long time that this was not a true Buddhist place, he had to admit that the Buddha's light that had appeared before was very deceptive. Even though he knew there was something wrong here, Liu Hongyu did not dare to act rashly.

There was an even louder sound of Sanskrit inside the Foguang Temple. Ordinary people could not understand that kind of sound at all, but Liu Hongyu knew what it meant through his spiritual sense.

The general idea is that there is a huge and resounding voice of Buddha speaking about exorcism.
"So what if you are a Confucian immortal? I, Buddha, have mercy on you. Let me save you. Om, Ma, Ni, Pa, Mi, Hum..."

Terrifying Buddhist sounds rang out, three sounds merged into one, and the black fog mixed with incense had enveloped the entire Foguang Temple in a short time. There were also three figures surrounding a giant pagoda and chanting scriptures continuously.

"The small hermit hides in the wild, the great hermit hides in the city. You do not know the true wonders of my Buddhist teachings. Wait for me and my Buddhist disciples to save you—"

At this moment, the originally ten-thousand-foot-high Foguang Temple no longer looked like a Buddhist holy place, nor did it have any Buddha's light. It was clearly dark and filthy, with countless ghosts appearing, ranging from old to young, from broken to twisted, and many of them were monks and Taoists.

All these ghosts appeared around the giant tower and the three huge Buddha statues, chanting scriptures together. What was even more strange was that the ghosts all had peaceful expressions on their faces.

The scriptures they recited were also a mess, ranging from the Diamond Sutra to the Heart Sutra, but these scriptures sounded similar but lacked form, and were filled with all kinds of distorted and bizarre emotions and desires.
The entire Wanzhang Foguang Temple has completely transformed into a den of evil and ghosts within the Buddhist world.
Even those curious pilgrims who are still running around the periphery will be shocked when they look back at the Wanzhang Foguang Temple.

The feeling of darkness and gloom made people feel terrified at the sight. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and even half of Xiangyang City was darkened.
Liu Hongyu and Zhao Chenyu also left quickly, and under his leadership, the two of them were many times faster than ordinary people without the latter noticing.

Looking at the changes in the Wanzhang Foguang Temple, Liu Hongyu was also shocked.

So powerful! Luckily I went to Senior Xi Miao before, and luckily I didn’t choose to force it!
-
Although Zhuang Lin was trapped in the tower at the moment, he was not panicked at all.

The difference between him and the three evil Buddhas in the temple was that before Zhuang Lin took action, he already knew that his cultivation was much higher than those of the evil spirits in the temple.

The entire rhythm of the fight was under Zhuang Lin's control. The so-called changes in offensive and defensive momentum depended on his thoughts only. However, the opportunity to study this kind of special evil spirit was not common!
