I, the poor monk Tang San, buried the sky, buried the earth, buried all living beings

Lao Niu finally understood Tang Ku's purpose, and he was considered to have given himself a lot of face.

The Bull Demon King said that he would go through fire and water to repay his kindness. After all, the banana fan was of great importance and was the only magic weapon of Princess Iron Fan and her symbol.

However, Tang Ku placed his position on the basis of equal cooperation without seeking any return of favor.

As the only true Buddha in the Three Realms, Tang Ku's actions completely convinced Lao Niu!

"Then what should we do next?"

asked the Bull Demon King.

"Next!"

Tang Ku looked back at the Flaming Mountain, whose flames were growing taller and taller, and said helplessly, "Next, we still have to put out this fire first!"

The Bull Demon King's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "This is easy. With the banana fan in hand, it's a piece of cake!"

"That was not what I meant!"

Tang Ku said, "The fire on Flaming Mountain has been burning for a long time, and this fire has only been extinguished for a few years. Why has it become like this again? If this happens again in the future, will we have to use the banana fan to extinguish it again and again?"

"Does the holy monk want to eradicate the root of the problem?"

Yang Jian couldn't help but frown slightly, turned to look at the Bull Demon King and said, "Then we need to know the root cause of this flame!"

The Bull Demon King had no time to pay attention to Yang Jian at the moment. He raised his head as if remembering something and said, "It will be difficult for the Saint Monk to eradicate it completely... Because the fire of this Flaming Mountain is not ordinary fire, but it is not as simple as the Samadhi True Fire either..."

As he spoke, the Bull Demon King told everything he knew about the Flaming Mountain.

It turns out that more than 500 years ago, when Sun Wukong made a riot in the Heavenly Palace, a brick from the Bagua furnace did fall here.

The furnace bricks, carrying the Samadhi True Fire, smashed directly into the mountain, completely igniting the entire mountain.

If it is just the Samadhi True Fire, it is actually easy to solve. After all, there are many talented people in this world, and there are many people who can recover or extinguish the Samadhi True Fire.

However, when the Samadhi True Fire fell on the mountain, it actually burned a big hole in the entire mountain. The furnace bricks fell all the way down and directly into the underground fire, drawing the power of the underground fire to the ground.

The Samadhi True Fire combined with the power of the Earth Fire actually formed a perfect closed loop of flames. Although its temperature was only at the level of the Samadhi True Fire, it could not be completely extinguished. Even the banana fan, which was the nemesis of all flames, was only a temporary solution and not a cure.

"...Therefore, to completely extinguish the flames of Flame Mountain, we must completely block the outlet of the underground fire and sever its connection with the Samadhi True Fire within the mountain. However, the combination of the underground fire and the Samadhi True Fire becomes extremely powerful, and even immortal-level powerhouses cannot penetrate its core. Even more terrifying is that this flame can even ignite the power of the true essence and can even directly burn the soul..."

The Bull Demon King smiled bitterly and said, "Raksha had good intentions back then. She originally lived much further away, but she moved to Cuiyun Mountain so she could put out the fire at any time. But as for completely extinguishing the flames... neither Raksha nor I can do it!"

Tang Ku suddenly pinched his chin, looked in the direction of Huoyan Mountain, frowned slightly, thought for a moment and finally nodded slowly: "I have an idea... Well, you guys wait here first, I'll go check it out first!"

"Master... danger!"

Shi Jingmo hesitated to speak.

"Holy Monk, this matter cannot be taken lightly. We must be cautious!"

Yang Jian glanced at the Bull Demon King, as if he completely distrusted him.

Lao Niu curled his lips and didn't take his attitude seriously at all.

"Don't worry, I've always had good luck, and I'll do things within my ability. I'd never do anything that would get me killed. Just wait here, I'll be back soon..."

Tang said with a wry smile.

"Saint Monk, please bring the palm-leaf fan with you. If..."

The Bull Demon King reached out and handed the banana fan over again.

"You can't bring a palm-leaf fan..." Tang Ku said in a deep voice, looking at the flames that were hundreds of feet high. "I'm going here to test the temperature of this flame. Don't worry, I won't go to the core. When I can't hold on any longer, I will come back immediately..."

As he spoke, he took off into the air and flew towards the Flaming Mountain.

There was an inexplicable light in the eyes of the Bull Demon King, and he seemed to appreciate Tang Ku's actions.

At this moment, Tang Ku had already flown above the edge of the Flaming Mountain. The closer he got, the higher he could feel the temperature, as if it could dry him out.

"Try using the Buddhist Dharmakaya..."

Tang Ku mobilized the Buddha's power in his body, and a six-foot-tall golden body suddenly appeared, and then descended downwards. However, as soon as the golden body touched the flames, it was directly ignited, and the terrifying flames spread up in an instant.

The burning pain he felt immediately made Tang Ku abandon the idea of probing with his golden body and quickly retract it. Without the burning material, the flames naturally died down.

"What if... we use Vajra Zen?"

Swish!

The golden light covered his entire body, turning him into an Oscar-winning statuette, and the brocade cassock actually echoed with his Vajra Zen skills. A strange energy flowed through his body, enveloping him completely.

"This is the first time I've used it at full power... Well, I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll just run away... However, this protective shield feels very similar to the one that protected me when the Western Buddhist world was destroyed!"

Tang Ku tentatively descended slowly. Sure enough, this layer of protection worked, and the high-temperature flames did not cause any damage at all...

No, it didn't seem like there was no damage, but rather that the damage wasn't enough to hurt him.

Moreover, this damage... was judged as an attack by the system!

That's right, you will gain Iron Fist Points when you are attacked and when you attack others, which means... this flame is a good place to earn Iron Fist Points.

"Where the hell can I go to seek justice for this..." Tang Ku was so happy that he rushed into the flames at a high speed, and then rushed out... Although he was not injured, the iron fist point suddenly rose by 1 point, which made him overjoyed.

Looking back at the fierce flames, Tang Ku instantly had an idea in his mind...

Soaring into the air and flying back to the others, Tang Ku clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, I have already figured it out. Although this flame can cause damage to me, it is minimal. I can definitely withstand it. However... I need to conserve some energy to get down there and isolate the underground fire. That's where your palm-leaf fan will be needed... Well, I have a plan. Let's discuss it..."

As he spoke, Tang Ku expressed his thoughts.

"No, this is too dangerous!"

Nezha said anxiously, "I am the incarnation of a lotus, and I often deal with fire, so why not let me go!"

Tang Ku smiled and said, "Buddhist disciples have the tradition of sacrificing their lives to feed the tiger. As the saying goes, don't jump into the tiger's den... Ugh, as the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will? This kind of life-threatening job is best suited for someone as tough as me!"
