Wu Yugang and Jiuli Zhenren were puzzled when they heard the loud noise. They looked down and saw the ground of the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda slowly sinking. The sound was caused by the friction of the huge stone slabs. As the ground slowly dropped, layers of clear water seeped out from the cracks in the floor and slowly spread to the ground below the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda.
The demon-transforming water on the ground of the pagoda gradually increased in height, slowly submerging the hall under the feet of Wu Yugang and the others. It was like a vast ocean, with no place to hide. This was the demon-transforming water that Emperor Liang Wu bestowed on Mount Shu, hidden under the ground of the demon-suppressing pagoda to prevent the demons from escaping from the pagoda. It was as solid as a rock.
In this fairly wide staircase, close to the wall, there are all the shapes of demons and monsters. Chains are crisscrossed on the wall. The narrow stone pillars protruding from the wall are paved with stone slabs to form the floor of each floor of the pagoda. The middle is empty. Going straight up and down, you can see the faint light at the top of the pagoda. The staircase is hanging diagonally between the two floors of the pagoda, empty, as if there is no support.
Standing in this gloomy pagoda, Wu Yugang felt deeply the danger. The ancient apes on the second floor were extremely powerful. Who knows what kind of ferocious monsters he will encounter up there. Perhaps, those who can escape the invasion of the ancient apes not only have strong power, but also have more advanced cultivation.
At this moment, Elder Jingtian said loudly: "Boy, you can't come back this time. Stay!"
Wu Yugang and Jiuli Zhenren looked up and saw two giant pythons suddenly appear above their heads. The heads of the giant pythons were like wheat buckets, and their eyes were like steel bells. They opened their bloody mouths above the huge hole. The bright fangs of the giant pythons shone with a cold and dark light in the dark black. A raging fire spit out of the mouth of a giant python, burning straight towards Wu Yugang and Jiuli Zhenren.
As the saying goes: Fire and water are merciless. The fiery flames of this giant python are terrifying. Wu Yugang shouted, "Oh no!" Water can put out the fire. The Jiuli Immortal was even more powerful. He flew down the pagoda from the gap in the fire at the guardrail of the pagoda, and flew into the pagoda hall filled with demon-transforming water.
The sudden raging fire caught people off guard. Wu Yugang had no choice but to follow the Jiuli Zhenren and jump into the demon-transforming water when the fire reached him. He almost died in the sea of fire.
The demon-transforming water at the bottom of the pagoda was originally made from the pure Yang energy of heaven and earth, combined with bone-dissolving herbs from famous mountains and rivers, and refined by the monks in the pure Yang fire for 9981 days to create this rare royal treasure. It is not too difficult for a Taoist alchemist to refine a small bottle of demon-transforming water, but it takes a lot of material and financial resources to fill the pagoda with immortal elixirs. It is not something that ordinary people can afford. No wonder Shushan wants to fight with Emperor Liang Wu for the demon-suppressing pagoda.
Although this demon-transforming water is destructive, after being refined by the monk, it is harmless to humans. After all, this human body has an aura that is different from that of demons, and the aura of justice of the cultivator is the magic weapon that is hard to find. With the protection of justice, external evil is hard to invade.
Wu Yugang stood up from the waist-deep demon water, thinking that the giant python would take advantage of the victory to pursue him. Unexpectedly, although the giant python was powerful, it was difficult to leave the three-story pagoda. As the raging fire erupted, when the raging fire reached the second floor, it was somehow pulled to one side and disappeared into the void. It turned out that the demon-suppressing tower was built according to the eight trigrams. In the south, the Nanming Lihuo swallowed the demon fire to nourish the positive energy and eliminate the evil spirit of the demon.
Just as the fire-breathing python stopped, another python spewed out a huge column of water, which was like an ice knife or a sharp sword, and it was difficult to survive. Although this ice knife or a sharp sword was extremely powerful, when it reached the second floor, it also disappeared into the northern Guishui on the second floor. It seems that this demon-suppressing pagoda was also built with an incomparable artifact, and the monk also used the five elements and eight trigrams to the extreme.
It turns out that this pagoda was built according to the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams. The positions of the Five Directions and Eight Diagrams in each layer also protect and supplement each other, bringing the energy of heaven and earth into the pagoda to deter evil spirits. It is also the breath of the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams of heaven and earth that protects and supplements each other in each layer of this pagoda. The evil spirits also choose the weak points, and the demons and ghosts with high cultivation survive because of this. This is also the principle of survival of the fittest. However, the evil spirits that survived have already reached the extreme level of cultivation, and are not ordinary demons.
Wu Yugang felt a little relieved when he saw this strange mirror image. Although he was in the water, he also had a plan to deal with the enemy.
Jiuli Zhenren was angry. This situation was like a drowned dog, which made him angry. Although he looked a little miserable, the demon was right in front of him, but he didn't chase him. If he chased him in the blink of an eye, he would have a hard time saving his life.
The water and fire suddenly disappeared, and Jiuli Zhenren felt quite strange. However, in this pagoda, this extreme design allowed Jiuli Zhenren to use the Yin-Yang technique to the extreme, and the Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian methods of deterring demons to the extreme. He had a deeper understanding of many principles of cultivation that he had never fully understood.
"This water, fire, yin and yang is very powerful. How can we break it? This Jingtian ancestor is really hateful!" Jiuli Zhenren said angrily.
Elder Jingtian looked at the miserable situation of Wu Yugang and Jiuli Zhenren. He also laughed up to the sky, "I think our Shushan is a famous mountain Taoist sect with a history of ten thousand years, so it is full of mysteries. You really overestimate your own abilities. Such a stubborn kid is a disaster if he is still alive. It is better for him to die as soon as possible."
Jiuli Zhenren and Wu Yugang looked at Elder Jingtian, who was taller than them, and saw Elder Jingtian's leisurely state. Seeing this, they were filled with righteous indignation and could not be restrained. It turned out that this difference in thought could create such a demon Taoist with evil thoughts deep into his bones. This evil thought deep into his bones could not be described as stubborn. Although there are also demonic people like Jiuli Zhenren in the righteous path, this path is not the same as that path.
The demons who are devoted to goodness are fundamentally different from those who associate with evil. The Buddha is compassionate and merciful, and it is the demons who are devoted to goodness who are saved, not the demons full of evil. The demons who are full of evil and do not repent are also included in the demon-slaying and demon-eliminating of the Buddha.
Elder Jingtian is very close, but with demons blocking the way, it is difficult to capture Elder Jingtian and eliminate the culprit who is causing trouble in the world. This makes people extremely hateful.
Wu Yugang was furious, and in the moment when the giant python was spewing fire and water, he raised his hand with lightning speed, and thousands of steel needles came out and stabbed at the giant python that was spewing fire and water. (To be continued)
