Chapter 214: Cause and Retribution

Most of the valley has been burned to scorched earth. Xiao Lei sat in the "mountain pit" in front of the mountain wall that night. Looking at the ruins in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

The burning place was filled with black smoke, "Did you sit in this place overnight? Haha..." Xiao Lei sighed, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is also something I asked for."

Guanyue Guanjue naturally did not dare to be on the side, so he had already run away. Xiao Lei simply sat cross-legged in the "mountain pit" and leaned on the mountain wall, looking at his nose, looking at his nose, and calming his mind. Gradually, the spiritual platform was clear and bright.

At this moment, the smoke dissipated, the sky was bright and the wind was clear. If it weren't for the scorched earth in front of me, there was still a bit of artistic conception, but Xiao Lei was calm, but he was always paying attention to the surroundings of the valley.

Sure enough, the night passed, but Xiao Lei didn't even see a ghost. Not to mention the red pearl, he sat there all night. After dawn, Xiao Lei smiled helplessly, patted the dust on his clothes, and slowly walked out of the valley. There were monks in the temple waiting outside, carrying buckets and basins, and coming up to wash Xiao Lei.

In addition, there were monks who sent vegetarian food. Xiao Lei sat down on the spot and enjoyed it before speaking, "Where is Zen Master Guanyue?"

The monk in front of him just said the abbot's losses after the fire was cleaned up in the temple.

Xiao Lei laughed in his stomach and set off a fire. He was afraid that the Fuhu Temple would lose a lot. It was probably a lot of pain to Zen Master Guanyue.

He couldn't help but say, "How many houses did the fire last night burn?"

The monk sighed: "A total of four Zen temples were destroyed. Fortunately, the Buddha blessed them. The Great Hall and the Sutra Pavilion are still there."

Xiao Lei nodded, thinking that this is not the Buddha's blessing, that's just my subordinates' mercy.

I asked about the losses in the temple again. However, the Zen temple was destroyed and some scriptures were burned to be rebuilt. There was no need to find someone to copy them again. As for the personnel, there was nothing, but a few monks fainted from smoke and were awakened afterwards, and nothing was wrong.

Xiao Lei asked for a while and understood that Guanyue Guanjue would not see him today. Most of the two monks were afraid of him and dared not see him again. They just hid in the temple and pretended to deal with the fire. They hoped that they would wait until tomorrow during the day. If there was no harvest that night, they would walk by themselves, and it would be fine.

After laughing for a while, he had nothing to do during the day. After thinking about it, he originally wanted to go back to Xiaoyao Sect to see it, but the matter was about to come, but he gave up this idea.

Originally, there was indeed one important thing in his mind, which was his own life experience, so he wanted to find his uncle Wu Daozi to ask clearly.

But when it came to an end, a little bit of retreat suddenly appeared in my heart. I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Forget it, I won't ask about this anymore. What's the point of asking? I'm used to being free. If I ask, it's not what I thought in my heart. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

After struggling for a while, he felt a little unwilling to accept it. He had no relatives and parents since he was a child, but now he suddenly knew a little about his life experience, so he naturally wanted to figure it out. But he felt a little afraid of the upcoming truth in his heart. After thinking about it over and over again, he suddenly remembered something.

It is the two monks Miaoyan and Miaoxin from Tiantai Temple, as well as the demon of the Holy Blood Sect.

Miaoyan Miaoxin of Tiantai Temple knelt outside the temple for one night, and in the daytime he apologized to Guanyue Guanjue and prepared to go down the mountain. The two monks failed to steal chickens and even lost a lot of rice. Xiao Lei didn't want to make things difficult for the two guys anymore. Although the two guys were greedy, fortunately they had no serious sins. So he ran to see the demon of the Holy Blood Sect.

The black-faced monk had been restrained and locked in a meditation room. Xiao Lei wanted to see him, but the monks who accompanied him did not dare to stop him. While reporting to Zen Master Guanyue, he took him directly.

Inside and outside the Zen temple, all the Buddhist vajra bells and magical tools for subduing demons and suppressing demons were suppressed. There were also verses written by cinnabar pens on the doors and windows of the Zen room.

There were a few monks outside, sitting in the yard, lined up, some knocking on wooden fish, some pinching Buddhist beads, and chanting the Great Vajra Curse of Subduing Demons to Subdue Demons and Conquering Demons.

Xiao Lei couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw these monks in Fuhu Temple doing this.

The demon man practiced the magic of the Holy Blood Sect, and his magic power was all based on blood. Yesterday he was cut off one arm and lost so much blood, so his magic power was much weaker. Now the remaining skills are at most 30% of the tens of the remaining skills. Even if he doesn't use so many magic weapons to suppress it, he will definitely not be able to escape with just one iron lock. Seeing that the monks in Fuhu Temple have such a large formation, it is really redundant.

If Xiao Lei's temperament directly slashed the demon with one sword and wiped out the roots, it would be the most convenient. However, these monks held the so-called creed of "monks dare not kill animals" and were ridiculous!

Like these monks, he used so many formations and magic weapons to trap him. The monk outside kept chanting the Vajra spell day and night, and kept grinding away the magic power in his body bit by bit. After more than ten days, the demon man's magic power was exhausted, and his spiritual energy was astigmatized, and he would die even if he had gone out of his dry lamp.

"Kill with one knife is to kill! Isn't it just killing me slowly with a soft knife?" Xiao Lei felt a little contemptuous, and stepped back and walked in.

In the Zen room, a Vajra mirror was hung above his head. The treasure light flashed faintly on the mirror. The demon man below knelt on the ground, with iron chains as thick as eggs tied all over his body, densely packed, and I don’t know how many strands he tied. His body became weaker and weaker. Obviously, his demonic aura was worn out in this holy land of Buddhism and could no longer support him.

Xiao Lei walked over, kicked him gently, and whispered: "Are you still alive?"

"Woo..." The demon man roared lowly and slowly raised his head. His originally dark face actually faintly showed a look of grayness, and his eyes were even more dead.

Xiao Lei was also a little frustrated when he stood in this room. The monks outside chanting scriptures and the sounds of "Mamimamihong" seemed not to be transmitted from the windows and doors. In conjunction with the surrounding magical instruments and formations, it seemed to be coming from all directions, which made people feel depressed and dizzy.

Xiao Lei sighed, and seeing this demon look, he might not be able to do it anymore.

But of course Xiao Lei would not sympathize with him. This kind of demon man practices spells by sucking human blood. I don’t know how many people he has harmed or done to kill malaria.

He squatted, glanced at the demon man, and whispered: "Can you still talk?"

"Can say." Although the voice is a little weak, it is still clear.

Xiao Lei sighed: "Why do you have to? You can live a lot of life in Tiantai Temple, but for a treasure, you hiding your identity and ran to die. You must know that there are many sects of cultivation on Mount Emei. Not to mention Fuhu Temple, the Xiaoyao Sect next to you is one of the three major sects in the world. How can you afford it?"

"Man dies for money, birds die for food!" The demon shook his head and whispered.

Xiao Lei nodded: "Well, I'll ask you. How much do you know about the Buddhist treasure in Fuhu Temple?"

The demon suddenly raised his head, stared at Xiao Lei's eyes, and laughed miserably twice: "Are you trying to make an idea of ​​that thing?"

Xiao Lei's face did not blush and his heart did not beat, but instead smiled and said, "It's strange. If you can make an idea about it, can't I fight?"

The demon nodded and said, "It's right." He suddenly laughed strangely again, "It's just a pity that you can't find the trick, right?"

Xiao Lei Youran said, "Yes, although I have some clues, it seems that that treasure is not too easy to find. Since you can go up the mountain to find treasures, you naturally know some tricks."

"Not bad!" The demon man's eyes were a little proud: "I spent countless energy on this thing to search for Buddhist scriptures. Even the two monks Miaoyan and Miaoxin knew not much! Humph, if it weren't for the fact that I was not a Buddhist disciple, and the evil spirit was too strong and I could not get close to that treasure, I would have come by myself long ago, so I would have to bring those two wastes!"

Xiao Lei sighed and said lightly: "It's just a pity that all your skills have been wasted."

The demon said proudly: "Hmph, I have lived enough in my life. I will suffer countless lives. I will die one day sooner or later. I will know it in my heart. You don't have to stab me with words!"

Xiao Lei smiled, leaned closer, and whispered: "Why not make a deal, how about it?"

"Trade?" The demon man's face moved, but he shook his head: "Are you willing to let me go? I don't want to leave anymore... It took me ninety-years of my magic power to cultivate this power, and my subordinates injured hundreds of lives before I reached this level. Yesterday, when you broke my magic body, I bleed too much, and I had already injured my true energy. Even if you let me go, my magic power will not be restored. If you want to restore my magic power, you have to have another ninety-year time, and you will have to hurt hundreds of lives. But I still have so many lifespans... I have too many enemies in my life, and I can't protect myself without magic power. Even if I leave here, I will still die. It's nothing."

After hearing this, Xiao Lei couldn't help but smile and said, "You are so open-minded."

The demon snorted and didn't say anything.

Xiao Lei sighed and said, "But you are now being suppressed here. There is a Buddhist Vajra Mirror above your head to suppress your Genshin Impact. The magical instruments around you trap your soul. The monks outside chant scriptures and trap your divine thoughts. The magical power, essence and blood in your body will be wiped out bit by bit. When the oil is exhausted, you will certainly be unable to escape death, but your soul is also taken away by this magical instrument, and your soul will be dispersed and will never be restored! Although you are dead, you can't even make a ghost! The dead soul cannot get out of the underworld! Are you willing?"

The muscles on the demon's face trembled, and his heart trembled.

You should know that all those who practice cultivation, whether they are practicing immortals, demons, or demons.

In fact, most of them are not afraid of death.

Because they believe that life and death are all reincarnation, even if they die, they can still keep the Genshin Impact. Even if the dead souls come down to the underworld, they are just waiting to become human again.

To put it bluntly, it is just another cycle of reincarnation.

But if the soul is gone, it is really terrible! If you can't even go to the underworld to reincarnate, it means you will not even have reincarnation. The real soul is gone, and then it means you will truly "nothing is gone".

So when Xiao Lei said this, the demon was indeed a little scared.

Xiao Lei stood up and said coldly: "You know you will definitely not be able to escape death, and I will not let you live. However, God has the virtue of being a good life, so I can open my mind to the underworld. However, you have committed too many evils. After going to the underworld, you will inevitably experience the eighteen levels of hell hardships. However, as long as you are punished, you will naturally have the chance to be reborn again. At least it is better than the result of being lost in the soul and nothing is left, right?"

The demon man's face was indeed loose. After a moment of silence, he finally sighed softly: "Forget it, this is also my fate. It seems that my fate should be in your hands. If you want to know, I will tell you."

Xiao Lei was delighted, but his face was silent. He slowly approached over and whispered: "Tell me, how can I get close to that treasure?"

"That thing is the most treasure of Buddhism. You must reincarnate a living Buddha and Bodhisattva with great supernatural powers, great compassion, and great merits to get close to it. Even if others have powerful magic power, they cannot master it. Even if you have strong magic power, you will not be able to see it!"

Xiao Lei frowned and said, "How can Zen Master Keguanyue see it?"

The demon said, "The old monk Guanyue is very ignorant. A monk like him has been practicing hard all his life, but he doesn't know how many years he has been sitting in Zen and recited Buddha for his whole life. Naturally, the Buddha's mind is superb. He has already practiced some Buddhist teachings with some Buddha light to protect his body. Only then can he get closer to the treasure. I see that Guanyue is a full monk who is practicing as a monk, so he can see the treasure. However, with his cultivation, even if he can see the Dharma, he is probably unable to touch it! Hehe... So I dare to rob... If he has already obtained the treasure, his magic power will probably improve. If he has already obtained the magic power in the Red Pearl, it is an amazing supernatural power. How dare I die?"

Xiao Lei thought about it and felt that what he said was right, and asked again: "So since you are coming up the mountain, there is naturally a way to get close to that treasure?"

The demon smiled proudly and said, "The method is not difficult! I have secretly visited many temples in the world and found a relic left by a monk of the previous generation! This relic was left by the cremation of the monk after his death, and it is also a treasure of Buddhism. It contains the Buddhist teachings that the monks of the previous generation have practiced throughout their lifetime, so they will naturally be able to get close to the treasure. But I can't do it. I plan to let the monks Miaoyan and Miaoxin pick one of them casually, take the relic, and think about it to get close to the treasure."

Xiao Lei immediately stretched out his hand: "Give it!"

The demon hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Forget it, I finally met you, I admit it! I did not carry that relic with me, but placed it with Monk Miaoya. I am a man in the devil. If I wear Buddhist relics on my body, I can't stand the Buddhist light. Although Miaoyan is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is a bit vulgar, but after all, he has studied the essence of Buddhism for a lifetime and has some Buddha nature. If he brings it, he will probably lead the treasure out."

Xiao Lei looked at him twice, looked at his expression and affirmed the truth he told. Then he nodded: "Well, so that's it."

The demon said, "Okay, I will tell you everything I know, so give me some fun! If you are here, you will be slowly chanted by these monks for three or five days and slowly grind to death, it will be too uncomfortable. Why not be merciful and end me with one palm!"

Xiao Lei smiled faintly: "I, a practitioner, still have to consider the heavenly tribulation, but I cannot kill more animals. You should commit suicide!"

After saying that, he stretched out his finger and a ray of golden light shot to the Vajra mirror above his head. With a buzzing sound, a thin crack left the Vajra mirror and it was broken.

In the Zen room, the originally faint Buddha light finally disappeared, and the monks outside were not very harsh in chanting scriptures.

"Okay, this formation has been broken. Even if you die now, your soul will not be brought into the Vajra Mirror." Xiao Lei said lightly. After saying that, he reached out to grab the iron lock on the demon's body and pulled it hard. The chains immediately burst and broke.

The demon showed a little gratitude on his face and kowtowed: "Thank you, thank you!"

"You don't have to thank me. You commit suicide, and your souls will go to the underworld. There is a record of your sins in the underworld. You must go to the eighteen levels of hell to suffer. Even if you still have the opportunity to reincarnate, you will have to suffer all the pain in hell."

The man struggled for a while, then suddenly smiled miserably and said, "Karma! I have been ready to go on this road!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and slammed his Heavenly Spirit Cover with force, then fell down softly, and died of anger.

Xiao Lei looked at him, sighed, and slowly walked out of the Zen room.

The monk outside was still chanting scriptures, but he didn't know that the person inside was dead. Xiao Lei nodded and smiled at the monks, and strode away.

"Hehe! What a cunning monk Miaoyan, who is wearing Buddhist relics, but he doesn't tell me without hiding them! It seems that he is really greedy and doesn't even want his life!"

Xiao Lei sneered in his heart and went out to find the monk Miaoyan from Tiantai Temple.

Just as he walked outside, he saw Guanjue leading several monks to come. Xiao Lei went over and asked, "Where are the two thieves in Tiantai Temple bald?"

Guanju saw him from afar, his face looked a little embarrassed. He heard his question and immediately said, "They have already gone down the mountain. Last night, they knelt outside for a night, which was a slight punishment. He just said goodbye, but went down the mountain. The two of them were ashamed and dared not say goodbye to my senior brother. They said to me and left."

Xiao Lei nodded, and did not talk nonsense with the sight. He strides by, and his body drifted out like a light breeze, chasing the monk from Tiantai Temple.
