【Cang Qiao】Bodhi

The long sword entered the body, and the sound of cold iron piercing flesh and blood could be clearly heard.

Mahazi only felt a figure flashing in front of him.The man was covered in frost and white, and his clothes fluttered, bringing a breeze in the thick fragrance of flowers.In the wind was the scent of sandalwood that belonged to that person in his memory.He froze for a moment, but it was too late to stop.

He could only look at his pale hand, holding a blood-red long sword, the blade of the sword brushed against the fluttering snow-colored long hair, and sank into the opponent's white monk's robe.

He watched the white shadow turn his back to him, blocking the deadly sword for the wolf demon.The man was in extreme pain, but he was also extremely stubborn. He stretched out his hand even though he was hit by the sword, and his thumb brushed the corner of Cang Yue Gu Ming's lips, wiping away the blood.There is a string of Buddhist beads hanging on that hand, and there are only four bodhi seeds on it.

——It’s pretty.

Qiao Rulai almost threw herself on Cang Yue Guming.He could feel the long sword piercing into his back with fierce force, and then his chest felt cold, the point of the sword pierced through his body, and the blood that came out stained the front of his clothes red.He raised his head, looked at the severely wounded young man in front of him, moved his lips, but only a pool of bright red blood came out of his mouth.

He choked a bit, and could only raise his hand.Rubbing Cang Yue Guming's face with his cold fingertips, he helped him wipe away the blood from his mouth, and blinked slowly, the warm golden pupils were filled with peace of mind and relief:

"The wolf... this time, the Tathagata is changing... to protect you..."

After saying a word, Qiao Rulai's eyes darkened and she passed out.The bodhi seed in his hand slipped to the ground and was buried in the blood-colored petals.

At this moment, Mahazi was speechless. He watched Qiao Rulai's receding body being embraced by Cang Yue Guming, and seeing Cang Yue Guming hold Qiao Rulai in his arms, he could even feel the long hair in his hands. The tip of the sword pierced Cang Yue Guming's body.

He was still caught in great fear and panic, the sword in his hand had never been so hot, it was neither good nor bad to let him go.

The scene of the blood-stained white clothes in front of him was too exciting for him. The same white clothes, the same blood dripping, the difference is that the person who hurt him like this at this moment...is himself.

This knowledge caused the panic in his heart to spread quickly, and Mahazi pulled out the long sword directly with his wrist, making a sound like a tear.

It is also very clear.

Qiao Rulai, who was in a coma, trembled, and the clothes behind her back turned blood red in an instant.Trembling, Cang Yue Guying covered Qiao Tathagata's front and rear wounds with his palms, watching helplessly as the blood seeped through the gaps between his fingers and dyed more of his clothes in deep red.

His eyes were red, and everything around him couldn't distract him at all.The appearance of Qiao Tathagata seriously injured in her arms, and the last words she said before she fell into a coma, seemed to wipe away those thousands of years of time, bringing Cang Yue Guming back to the day he least wanted to recall.

The same person in his arms, the same blood in white clothes, the only difference is that his current thousand-year-old cultivation is enough to ask the king of Hades to take back his life for three moments!

Without thinking too much, Cang Yue Guming condensed his breath into his palm, and gently caressed Qiao Tathagata's heart, mobilizing his whole body's cultivation to protect his heart veins.However, he was exhausted during the war before, and it was even more difficult to maintain his human form, not to mention mobilizing all the monster power in his body?

Cang Yue Guming only felt a sweetness in his throat, turned his head and vomited a mouthful of blood, the wolf ears became more obvious, and a tail appeared behind him.But even so, he never stopped his movements, he just wanted to slow down the life loss of the person in his arms for a moment, and then slow down for a moment.

Mahazi looked at Cang Yue Guming and Qiao Tathagata.In his eyes, how similar and ironic is this scene?For thousands of years, he has regarded Cang Yue Gu Ming as a demon in his heart, and he wants to get rid of it every day and night, but when this day really comes, it is Bodhi who he cares about day and night to stop him.

He raised his hand in a daze, looking at his pale hand and the crimson sword, just staring at it without saying a word, he didn't even move his eyeballs, but suddenly he threw away his hand, his eyes had become translucent Red, the imprint between the eyebrows suddenly turned black, emitting a gloomy and heavy breath.

He seemed to be crazy, but he didn't seem to be crazy, he just stared hard at the two figures in front of him until his eyes were bloodshot.When he spoke, his voice was no longer clear and sweet, but a dark, hoarse, terrifying voice:

"why……!"

Mahazi took a step forward, but retracted his foot again.His eyes were glued to Qiao Rulai again, his lips were bleeding from his own bite, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Qiao Rulai, knowing that the other party would not respond, but he still asked persistently:

"why why why?!"

"It's him who caused you to have feelings! It's him who made you unable to practice meditation! Why do you still help him! Why?!"

"For him, you gave him 300 years of cultivation! For him, you voluntarily gave up the chance to become a Buddha! Why?!"

"Why were you willing to give up becoming a Buddha for him before! Now you have to block the sword for him!"

"Bodhizi! Tell me! Why is this?!"

"You said, what?" Cang Yue Guming slowly raised his head, looking at Mahazi.

"Don't you know? That's right, you don't know." Mahazi raised a smile that was almost bright, but there was no smile in the eyes sunken by the devil.Holding the sword in one hand, he lightly brushed the petals on his chest with the other hand, looked at Cang Yue, and said slowly:

"How much Bodhizi has done for you, you have nothing at all..."

"have no idea."

■

Although there is no tree spirit in Sitting Bodhi, it understands human nature.

It is bathed in the never-fading sunlight of the Three Realms, and has experienced countless times of flowers blooming and falling, and has seen the joys and sorrows that should not belong to the land outside the Hua.

It is a witness, witnessing the changes of countless white clouds and dogs, and vicissitudes of life; it is also a listener, listening to the questions that Bodhizi raised during his enlightenment for hundreds of years, and gave him answers in his own way.

It remembered clearly that the wolf demon was hunted down to Huawai Bodhi a few years ago, and Bodhi saved him. That was the first time it saw Bodhi use its mana.

It remembered that the wolf monster was very weak in cultivation, it was clearly a monster, but it couldn't even transform itself.Bodhizi kindly took him to practice, but the wolf demon was impatient, and it took a long time to calm down to listen to the scriptures and understand the Dharma.

It still remembers that the wolf demon especially likes to follow Bodhizi, almost inseparable for a moment.Bodhi also indulged it, and treated it with patience and gentleness that he had never experienced in hundreds of years. Bodhi thought, probably Bodhi is also lonely, and it is good that the wolf demon can accompany him.

It still remembers that day, which was a day not far from Bodhizi's catastrophe.

The sun of Huawai Bodhi never fades away.For this, the bodhi child has long been used to it, but the wolf demon is not. Every time it chooses to take a nap in the place where the shade of the bodhi tree is thickest.It was the same today, it shook its furry tail, rolled itself into a ball, nestled under the tree, and fell asleep after a while.

Huawai Bodhi can only see the bodhi seeds bathed in the sun through the thick branches and leaves, but his usual calm expression appears dim.He didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes turned against the light, looking at the sleeping wolf demon, as if fascinated.

As if he had made up his mind, he raised his foot, walked slowly and softly, and walked to the side of the wolf demon, resting his palm on the wolf's eyes.Huawai Bodhi recognized that he had made the wolf demon fall into a deeper dream, and would not let him wake up easily.

——Bodhi?

Huawai Bodhi shook the branch, and sent a heartbeat to Bodhi.

"Qiao Tathagata knows what you want to ask."

Bodhizi caressed the wolf demon from his forehead to his back with the back of his hand, the warm light in his eyes flickered on and off, and a soft color hung on his brows.His real name is Qiao Tathagata, but others often call him "Bodhizi". Now, only himself and this sleepy wolf can be called by this name.

"I just suddenly felt that becoming a Buddha might...not be as gratifying as I imagined."

His jade-like hand rested between the wolf demon's silver-gray fur, his fingertips caressed the soft wolf ears, and he let out a soft sigh.The Bodhi tree only felt that Bodhi's body was suddenly enveloped in a piece of peaceful and warm Buddha light, and the Buddha light gradually shrank, forming a point in the hands of the young man in white, and then slowly pushed into the wolf demon's body by him.

——Bodhisattva!

The branches of the linden tree shook more anxiously.

It recognized that the Buddha's light that was pushed into the wolf demon's body was Bodhizi's 300 years of Buddha energy cultivation.

He was imminent, but he divided his cultivation base.What does he want to do?

"Well, crossing the tribulation will fail." Bodhizi sent the last bit of cultivation in his palm into the wolf demon's body, with relief in his eyes.

"I know the consequences in my heart, but I also know what kind of law I am practicing."

"Buddha speaks the great way, compassion for all living beings. To become a Buddha means to cut off desires and love. Qiao Tathagata was originally a dead thing without feelings and desires. Sitting and turning into a Buddha is to follow the way of heaven. But..."

He leaned against the bodhi tree, folded his hands on his lap, rubbed the string of twelve bodhi seeds with his round fingertips, and never took his eyes off the sleeping wolf:

"He is the cause, but also the effect, and perhaps also the catastrophe of Qiao Tathagata. I can't stop the emotions that have arisen since his arrival. Even if I don't give these to him, I myself don't want to become a Buddha."

"Cutting off love and thoughts, ruthless and desireless. This is not the fruit I want now."

"Since I don't have the predestined relationship to the bliss of the Western Paradise, I think that using my little cultivation to help him get back what he lost can be regarded as my gratitude to him for being with me for several years."

"Bodhi, beautiful Tathagata, don't regret it."

The young man under the tree smiled happily, and what was contained in the smile was a sense of relief and calmness that had not been revealed for hundreds of years.

■

The bodhi tree saw Mahazi's obsession and madness, and it once persuaded him.

It says that there is a reincarnation in the way of heaven, and there are definite numbers in the cause and effect of reincarnation. Bodhizi has long known his own fruit, and is willing to die for it.

It said that obsession is suffering, so let him let go of obsession and practice secretly.

It said that Bodhizi did it voluntarily, and hoped that he would not blame others.

This other person?Of course it was referring to the wolf demon in front of him.

Mahazi told him all about Bodhizi giving him 300 years of cultivation, but he didn't say a word about Bodhizi giving up becoming a Buddha for him, but this is enough.Looking at Cang Yue Guming's stunned look, he couldn't feel any joy in his heart.

To repeat the past to him is to goug out the wound and then sprinkle a layer of salt cream.The pain goes deep into the bone marrow, but it cannot replace the lost person.

He knew he was crazy, but he couldn't stop.

Now that you have become crazy, why don't you all go to hell together——

Mohazi's wrist flicked, the edge of the sword trembled, and the long sword came out with a whistling sound.The devilish energy around him exploded violently, and the red petals were lifted up by the airflow, whizzing away in all directions.In the red robe, in an instant, the sword flower has risen, and the target is Cang Yue Guming and Qiao Tathagata!

At this moment, a fierce and domineering spirit was involved in the battle.That vigor is fierce and brave, and it directly breaks through the flying red Sala, and directly grabs Mahazi's vest.Mahazi was forced by it, so he could only forcibly withdraw his momentum, step on one foot, and dodge sideways, the flowers on his side were injured by the rest of his energy, and they all turned into fine debris, scattered all over the ground.

Qi Jin brushed against Cang Yue Gu Ming's side, but it seemed to be a good distance away, and barely brushed against his robe. The distance was so coincidental that even the corners of the cloak were not lifted.The energy hit the giant tree outside the open space, actually breaking the thick banyan tree in half.

Seeing that the attack was blocked, Mahazi just frowned, he didn't look at the worried expression of the two Shaluos, but tightened the sword in his hand, and attacked Cang Yue Guming and Qiao Tathagata again.

Cang Yue Guming has come to his senses, he hugged Qiao Tathagata in his arms with one hand, and clasped the wolf's claws tightly with the other hand.

The flow of demon power accelerated, and he could not give up hanging his life for the person in his arms, nor could he give up resisting. Cang Yue Guming's long purple-black hair began to be stained with a touch of silver gray, and his blue pupils gradually became thinner. He was almost unable to maintain his human form. .

But just before the short soldiers were about to confront each other, they suddenly heard the sound of cold iron piercing the air in the distance. The sound came whistling at an extremely fast speed, spinning and heading straight for Mahazi's long sword.Mohazi was in a hurry and couldn't get away, he only had time to turn his wrist, the arms and iron intersected, the strength was so great that he was shaken out of shape by more than a foot, and a small gap was broken in the tiger's mouth.

The weapon was blocked by Mahazi, it sank straight into the ground, and took off with red flakes, without resting for a long time.When the petals fell slightly, there was only a flaming long knife guarding Cang Yue Guming in front of him. Wave after wave of humming.

"This is it, the dragon."

Cang Yue Guming hadn't finished speaking when he saw a figure jumping in from the direction of Longquan Temple, blocking between the two of them.The person who came was wearing a red battle armor and a double-horned forehead protector. The falling jewels and animal teeth collided with each other and made a crisp sound.

This is--

"Chen Tiezhen was too late to ask for clothes to save him, but he asked the king to make amends."

The thick murderous and devilish aura around him seemed to have no effect on Tie Yuqiuyi. He knelt down on one knee and performed a standard courtier's salute to Cang Yue Guming. Zizi took a few steps forward with piercing eyes, pulled out the dragon blade with one hand, and said to the enchanted tree spirit in front of him:

"If you want to hurt the king, you have to pass my level first." He made a gesture, "I'm begging for clothes, please move."

In the eyes is the self-confidence born of great strength, and in the words is the unswerving determination because of the loyalty.

Mahazi clenched the long sword in his hand, grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile:

"Well, then I'll kill you first, and then kill them!—"

Before he finished speaking, Mahazi rushed forward and fought with Tie Yu Qiuyi.

The light of the knife splashed, sparks burst out, palms and fists met, and sometimes the sound of clothes being ripped, bringing out blood splashes all over the sky.

Previously, when Mahazi fought against Cang Yue Guming, it was only because Cang Yue Guming held back that he gained the upper hand.This time against Tie Yu Qiuyi, he was not only suppressed by the opponent in terms of strength, but also suffered a disadvantage in terms of weapons - the long sword was dexterous, the long knife was fierce, and the dexterous movement of the sword's edge was completely defeated by the long knife. All fierce moves were blocked.The saber looks bulky, but in the hands of Tie Yuqiuyi, it is like a flying bird. Every time, it can find the dead corner of the sword at a tricky angle and leave wounds on his body. After more than ten rounds of confrontation, Mahazi is already scarred. Tired, out of breath.

Shuangshaluo looked at the figure of Mahazi, raised her feet several times to go there, but stopped for a moment, she turned to walk towards the double Bodhi trees, and put her palms on the trunks that had begun to turn black , lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

There was a sharp cracking sound in the air, and the next moment, a long iron glowing with cold light whirled and fell to the ground.

Mahazi's long sword was chopped off by the dragon gang wind. He glanced at the broken sword in his hand, just hummed softly, raised his hand and threw the remnant soldier out.Then he flipped his wide sleeves, the wind of his palm suddenly picked up, and he slapped Tie Xie for his clothes.

When Tie Yuqiuyi saw this disorderly palm, with a frown, he raised his hand and thrust the dragon into the ground, and then turned into a palm with luck, and the side palm caught Mahezi's wrist, pressing and turning, dissolving the palm While the Myrobalan is attacking, the other hand bends the elbow forward, directly hits the opponent's breastbone, pushes forward, and strikes back with a palm, hitting the upper abdomen of the Mahazi.Tieyu Qiuyi's attack did not diminish, the hand that had dispelled the attack earlier turned to grab Mahazi's wrist, pulled the opponent back, turned his palm into a fist, and hit the opponent's chest instead, knocking Mahazi back directly It was more than five feet, vomited blood, and coughed continuously.

Mohazi's eyes were reddened, and the pain in his body could no longer wake up his gradually insane consciousness.Although he looked at Tie Yu Qiuyi, his eyes could no longer reflect the appearance of the other party.The crazily growing demonic energy blinded his consciousness and blinded his eyes. At this moment, he only had "kill" in his mind and only "the person to kill" in his eyes. , has completely degenerated into a madman.

He pressed his hands on the ground, and the devilish energy overflowed, urging all the red salas to float into the air.Driven by the demonic energy, those gorgeous petals trembled and gave off a blood-red light, but the surrounding vegetation and creatures seemed to be drawn, and quickly withered and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Cang Yue Guming didn't care about his half-wolf appearance, and tightly protected the weakly breathing Qiao Tathagata in his arms.He brushed off all the red petals on his blood-stained monk robe, gasped and observed the changes in the surrounding vegetation, lowered his voice and said to Tie Yuqiuyi:

"Be careful, Commander, he is absorbing the life around him."

Tie Yuqiuyi also noticed the abnormality, raised his arm, spread his five fingers, and the dragon suddenly jumped up and returned to his hand.He held the knife with one hand, and there was a crisp sound when the knife plate collided with the knife body, and his body pressed down slightly, completely on guard:

"Your Majesty, be careful, he is afraid that he will..."

Tieyu Qiuyi hadn't spoken the second half of the sentence, but Mahazi yelled loudly, and the surrounding creatures, including the petals falling in the air, all withered, but the double Sala trees in the center of the open space became more vigorous in this withered state. , the trunk is high, the branches are stretched, and the red flowers on the crown seem to drink blood, emitting a coquettish and strange red light.

It is clearly an extreme move that wants to burn jade and stone together!

Cang Yue Guming protected the man in his arms, and stirred up the demonic aura, the wolf claws in his hands making a faint sound.

Tie Yuqiuyi held the dragon in his hand, moved his feet slightly, and was ready to swing his blade forward at any time.

Mahazi has a crazy look, surrounded by demonic energy, and has a terrifying appearance.

Just when everyone was at war, the double Sala trees catalyzed by the devilish energy shook slightly, and the white Sala trees that had been covered by the red Sala before suddenly became luxuriant.Those white flowers shivered, trying to push and push, just opening half of the world in this bloody canopy.

The red flowers were like blood, and the white flowers were like frost. Those snow-white flowers suddenly began to wither, and the fluttering petals seemed to have a faint brilliance, illuminating the space that was colored by the devilish energy.

"...Stop, Mahazi."

Shuangshaluo's voice sounded faintly.
