Pei Jing's smile froze on his face as he faced the two-headed snake.
The two-headed giant snake twisted its body, opened its mouth, roared, and bit straight at Pei Jing. The scarlet snake tongue was stained with turbid yellow liquid, which was foul-smelling and highly toxic. It dripped onto the wooden board and corroded a large piece of it in an instant. The snake's eyes were turbid and its fangs were hideous.
It attacked fiercely, and Pei Jing cursed inwardly.
Pei Jing stood up and jumped away. He had a deep fear of snakes, not to mention that there was a powerful opponent behind him.
The entry order is important!
Pei Jing rolled up his sword energy and pierced the snake's eye, causing the two-headed snake to become furious. Its body, hidden under the water, curled up around the entire building, shrinking little by little. Crack, crack, crack, the redwood beams broke into pieces, the table flipped over and shattered, and there were all kinds of screams from upstairs.
Pei Jing was too busy to do anything at this moment, so he turned around and tried to seize the order to enter the city.
"Give me!"
He stretched out his hand and passed it through the flock of butterflies. Ashes fell from their wings, and they were all cold and light like moonlight.
After the slight coolness, there was a sharp pain, a pain that pierced through the consciousness!
The entire main building was shaking, a huge dark shadow blocked the light, and a sharp and vicious murderous aura was behind it, piercing Pei Jing's back like a needle!
"bump!"
The two-headed snake leans down!
The wooden board broke into pieces. The snake head attacked left and right, its turbid yellow pupils full of violence.
Pei Jing finally got the order to enter the city with great pain, and a drop of sweat fell on his forehead.
He thought he would be attacked from both sides and there would be a fierce battle.
The evil butterflies surrounding him suddenly seemed to have received some kind of command. After a slight pause, they scattered with a crisp sound. The silver light from the butterfly wings flowed through the moonlight, like a dream. Dots of stars were scattered in the air, like the stars falling from the night sky.
The hostility in Butterfly dissipated.
Pei Jing was stunned.
He stared blankly, and when the giant two-headed snake stretched out its head, the black butterflies surrounding him swarmed up.
In just a moment, the ancient giant snake let out an earth-shaking roar, and its body twisted violently under the water, causing strong winds and huge waves.
The mortals on the boat screamed in fear, and Yu Qinglian and others cast spells to calm the wind and waves.
But the two-headed snake didn't act like a troublemaker for long. Its flesh was eaten into bones, leaving only a cold, empty frame, and then it fell into the water with a splash.
Pei Jing was confused: "What's going on with this butterfly?"
He was relieved that he didn't have to kill the snake himself, but he became even more alert. This butterfly had the strength to kill a monster comparable to a Yuanying cultivator in just a few breaths, so he didn't use his full strength when fighting him just now? Why, because he was too handsome
He held the Lingchen Sword tightly in his hand, fearing that the evil butterfly would suddenly turn around and rush towards him again.
But he thought too much. After killing the giant snake, the butterflies instantly turned into light dust and fell on the river, which was now dyed crimson. The flames of thousands of lotus lanterns flickered slightly, and the dust was as fine and fragmented as snow, gorgeous and beautiful in the misty night.
Huazui Sanqian was massacred and there were not many people left.
After the storm subsided, everyone looked at this scene with pale faces.
On the main building platform.
Pei Jing put the entry order into his sleeve, put his doubts behind him, and smiled in a good mood.
Forget it, I have the entry permit, why bother with so many things
In an instant, the tall building collapsed.
Pei Jing jumped down from above and joined Yu Qinglian and the others.
Standing on the lotus lantern, Yu Qinglian looked at his expression and knew that things were likely to succeed, so she asked, "Now that you have the entry order, when do you plan to go to Tianyan City?"
Pei Jing thought for a while and said, "Let's set off tomorrow."
Yu Qinglian smiled mischievously: "You are really anxious. Did what I said at the beginning make sense?"
Pei Jing didn't know what to say.
Ji Wuduan also came down, but was concerned about another thing.
"Did you kill Difeng?"
Pei Jing said naturally, "Kill him. He threatened me before he died, saying that if I killed him today, when I enter Tianyan City, the Ghost Gate will grind me to dust. But this old man is so stupid that he doesn't even know my name."
Ji Wuduan Yu Qinglian nodded.
Then Pei Jing said, "I felt sorry for him, so I told him my name."
Ji Wuduan: "..."
Yu Qinglian: "..."
Feng Jin and Wu Sheng, who arrived at the same time, heard his words clearly.
The four people froze in place, all silent.
Before entering the city, he made a bunch of enemies for himself. This is exactly what Pei Yuzhi would do.
But, was senior Xuhan’s advice to you not to cause trouble eaten by a dog
Yu Qinglian said: "Is this what you call low-key?"
Feng Jin smiled: "Why are you going through so much trouble to get a permit to enter the city? You might as well just rush in with a sword. You'll end up with a bunch of enemies anyway."
Pei Jing said: "You're overthinking it. How can I go in as Pei Yuzhi?" His name is so famous that he will definitely attract a lot of people if he goes in.
The light of the water and the gentle eyes of the young man, the bloody water, the piles of corpses, the stench of sins were buried by the falling starlight. The dying survivors stared at them blankly, their internal organs rolled up.
The appearance of each of the five boys and girls has been circulated throughout the world for a long time.
They stared with their eyes wide open and opened their mouths, but nothing came out.
Green flowers grow in the blood pool, and white bones turn into blue butterflies.
The relic of Buddha's heart and the phoenix's eyes, a sword piercing the frosty peak.
After returning to Jingtian Court, Yu Qinglian said to him alone: "Go to Tianyan City and help me do something."
Pei Jing understood immediately: "Is it about the floating world blue lotus?"
Yu Qinglian nodded with a serious look on her face. "From the few words she left behind in the Elders' Pavilion, I roughly understand a little about Tianyan City. One palace, three religions and five sects, they are extremely powerful in the outer city. And the one related to Fu Shi Qinglian is the Soul Chasing Palace."
Pei Jing said: "Which palace among the one palace, three religions and five sects?"
Yu Qinglian said: "Yes. You should be more careful."
Pei Jing smiled: "Of course."
He returned to his room and found himself on a secluded path, where he saw Wusheng, his monk's robe fluttering among the fireflies in the grass.
Pei Jing frowned. He felt that Wusheng had become much quieter after coming to Jingtianyuan. He no longer used to watch them playing with a smile on his face.
This time, he seemed to have something very heavy on his mind.
Pei Jing said: "Wu Sheng, do you need my help with something?"
Wusheng pursed his lips and said, "I thought about it and decided that I should tell you."
Pei Jing had a hunch that it was about the Thousand Faces Woman and nodded.
Every blade of grass and every tree in Jingtian Temple has spiritual energy, and fireflies are flowing among the grass.
Wusheng said: "After you drew the mask for me, I went to find my master and asked what it was."
"After seeing this, my master was silent for a long time, then stood up and took me to the Hall of Rebirth in the Sakya Temple. Inside the Hall are the statues of the Nine Heavenly Gods and Buddhas. Ten thousand years ago, after the war of the gods, the Buddha's lotus platform was shattered, and his Zen consciousness fell into the human world and entered the belly of a pregnant woman. Each Zen consciousness represents the mind of a Buddha, and what we Buddhists cultivate is the mind. In other words, it is equivalent to their reincarnation and cultivation."
"Inside the Hall of Rebirth, I saw a broken Buddha statue. Behind the statue was a huge golden wheel with smiling faces stacked on top of it. From a distance, I felt joy and peace."
"My master told me that this is the Thousand-Faced Buddha."
Pei Jing murmured: "Thousand-faced woman... Thousand-faced Buddha..."
Wusheng said, "I didn't want to tell you originally, because this is a matter of the Sakya Temple, and I was afraid that it would cause you trouble. But today at Huazui Sanqian, I found out..." He paused, unable to describe it, and only said, "Tianyan City is far more dangerous than we thought. That mask appeared in the sky, and maybe the disaster is hiding next to you. I told you this so that you can be prepared."
"This great Buddhist master loves to mingle among the human world, dressing up as men, women, young and old, helping people, and changing into a thousand faces, hence the name Thousand-Faced Buddha."
"What the master didn't expect was that five hundred years ago, the Thousand-Faced Buddha's consciousness actually fell into the body of a baby girl. The baby girl was born into a wealthy family. The couple had only one daughter in their old age, so they cherished her very much and spoiled her, causing her to become arrogant and spoiled."
Wusheng paused and continued, "It was fifteen years later when the master found her. In fifteen years, a person's personality has taken shape. She is probably the least Buddha-like. The young lady of the Qin family is lazy and extravagant, loves beauty and money, and is even arrogant and domineering because of her extreme preference. After my master explained his purpose, he directly asked the servant to drive my master out of the house."
Pei Jing was silent.
It is probably the first time that Senior Duannian from Jia Temple has been rejected like this.
Wusheng said, "The master wanted to persuade her to convert to Buddhism. The lady's parents were so angry that they almost died. Everyone thought he was crazy. After all, the lady of the Qin family has nothing to do with Buddhism. The lady of the Qin family also laughs all the time, but she has been spoiled and is quite interested in new things. She even ignored her parents' threat of death and followed my master to the Sakya Temple."
Pei Jing said: "This is really..." willful and reckless.
"The master awakened her Zen consciousness and granted her the ability to change into a thousand faces. Miss Qin was shocked and became addicted to it. She changed into a young and beautiful woman every day. All she did was change her face and walk on the street."
Pei Jing wanted to laugh, but when he thought of the Yunlan Mountains and that crazy ugly woman, he fell silent. The story that followed would not be so easy.
Wusheng said: "The master saw that this was not a solution for her, so he took her out alone, wandering around the mountains, letting her see all the sufferings in the world. Fortunately, she was kind-hearted. At first, she complained about the hardship and fatigue, but later she got used to it. She even had a sudden enlightenment in a small forest."
"The first time she saved someone, she was so excited that she didn't sleep all night. Then she began to try to use her abilities to save the world."
"After she reached the foundation-building stage, she couldn't hold back any longer, so she left a letter and went out to gain experience."
"But this time when she went out, the Thousand-Faced Buddha statue in the Hall of Rebirth was peeled off, and she never came back."
Pei Jing said softly: "People like her are the best when they are good, and the worst when they are evil."
Wusheng sighed and said, "She was trapped in the forest where she first gained enlightenment. The villagers were ignorant and had been marrying close relatives for generations, so all the children they gave birth to were monsters. She had wanted to convert those deformed children, but she was killed by a Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator who had infiltrated the villagers in the mountains."
"The demon cultivator had coveted her Buddha's heart for a long time. He used a mirror to shine at her. She transformed into an old woman and then suddenly returned to her original appearance. The villagers were horrified. The demon cultivator slandered her as a demon with ulterior motives. The instigator locked her up in the cellar."
"Her dantian was shattered, and she was like a disabled person. After suffering in the cellar, she was finally possessed by a demon. When we rushed over, everyone in the village had their faces peeled off, but she was nowhere to be seen. Not long after, a demon appeared out of nowhere in Tianyan City."
Pei Jing knew that the suffering that Wusheng lightly mentioned was definitely not simple.
Pei Jing said: "Thank you, I understand."
Wusheng pursed his lips, thinking of something, and whispered, "Now I know why that child gave me such a strange feeling when we met in the temple that day. It turns out that it's all cause and effect."
Pei Jing didn't know how to comfort him, so he just changed the subject: "But what about the disciple from the Sakya Temple who escaped with the mask?"
Wusheng shook his head and said, "That disciple was not in the temple for several years at that time, and was traveling outside the temple. He must have obtained the mask by chance, and then suffered backlash."
Wusheng sighed again.
Pei Jing also looked into the distance at the mountains. It seemed that his previous guess was wrong.
But what kind of hatred would force a delicate but kind girl into that state
Besides, she was born a Buddha.
He couldn't help but think of Zhang Qingshu and Queen Mother of the West.
One was drowned in a jar by his father, and the other was eaten by the bluebird clan in two lifetimes.
What about the Thousand-Faced Buddha... ... How could it be so distorted? What on earth happened to her in the cellar
At the same time, Pei Jing couldn't help but mutter: "Why are these people's experiences so similar..."
