Give the world of mixed martial arts a little bit of the shock of the Thunderbolt Monk

When the Buddha-Swallowing Boy suddenly raised his sword, many people's first reaction was that he was going to use the sword to hurt someone. Zhu Yan was shaped like a spear, and the Buddha-Swallowing Boy was relatively tall, so every movement he made appeared to be very large and wide. If he had not moved the sword horizontally very quickly, Jian Xue Wuming would have really thought that he was going to use the sword to give him a test to see whether the sword had good or evil or whether people had good or evil.

Looking at Zhu Yan in front of him, the sword blade was the familiar red and white colors, but the hilt was elongated and turned into a shape like a spear shaft. Now it looked like a spear, like a lance, but not like a sword.

Jian Xue Wuming stared at Zhu Yan. He didn't know how the sword changed its shape, nor did he know if the sword could return to its vague appearance in his memory if he used the scabbard to seal it now.

"This sword has a spirit, and it has a bright future."

"A promising future? This is the first time I've heard someone use this word to describe a sword."

This was also the first time that someone openly pointed out that Zhu Yan had intelligence. Perhaps Yibu Lianhua had already seen it but just didn't mention it in person. But today was indeed the first time that Tunfo Tongzi heard someone say that Zhu Yan had intelligence.

"As long as you have intelligence and a prepared mind, you will have good karma."

"You just said that swords have no good or evil, and now you say that my Zhu Yan has good karma. Isn't that contradictory?"

The Buddha-Swallowing Boy showed a mocking expression. Since there is no distinction between good and evil, how can we distinguish between good karma and sinful karma? Then there is no point in distinguishing between good and evil.

"A sword has no good or evil, but its spirit has its own self. If this sword has intelligence and a heart that is inclined to do good, it will naturally gain good karma and reap good results."

"This is the magic sword."

If he is a demon, how can he obtain good results?

“Why can’t the devil be good?”

"How can the devil become good?"

"But if you are pure and peaceful, the Way will not be lost."

"boom."

The Buddha-Swallowing Boy took back Zhu Yan and placed it beside him, with the bottom of the hilt hitting the ground with a dull sound.

The place where everyone was gathered was a high platform made of bricks and stones, which was usually used for presiding over rituals. It was high enough and large enough, perfect for them to confront each other without worrying about affecting others.

After retracting his weapon, the Buddha-Devouring Boy did not say anything else. Ximie Tianlai took over the rest of the words, and his voice was even sharper than the demon general beside him.

"As soon as the devil is born, he is defined by the Buddha as a great traitor and an evildoer. Everyone wants to kill him and all living beings avoid him. In such a predicament, there is no way to cultivate goodness, and peace and happiness are unattainable."

Buddha and the devil are independent, one is good and the other is evil, that's exactly it.

"If the devil's heart is inclined towards the Buddhist path, we will accept him."

For Ximie Tianlai, this was no longer a matter of sword. He directly targeted the positions of both sides. It was not a topic of Jianxue Wuming anymore. Shanfa Tianzi took over directly.

"To accept? Or to destroy?"

Ximie Tianlai sneered. If he had no relationship with Bu Yi Lianhua, when the two met for the first time, Emperor Shanfa would never have told him to leave. Instead, he would have directly used an ultimate move to destroy this monster that appeared in the Holy Land on the spot.

"If you have no ill intentions, you will naturally be willing to accept it."

In various famous Buddhist organizations, there are many examples of evil spirits entering Buddhism. Among them, there are kind people who truly yearn for Buddhism, but there are also many undercover agents who harbor evil intentions and appear to be converts but are actually infiltrating.

Therefore, in this situation, the attitude of the Emperor Shanfa will be more strict, which will make him seem even more inhumane in the eyes of others, and some people will express dissatisfaction with his toughness.

"Since the emperor is willing to accept us, then may I ask the Holy Lord, what do we think of the two of us?"

"In my eyes, you two can become Buddhas."

There was still no expression on Bu Yi Lianhua's face. This Saint Venerable had always been like this, unchanging. He seemed calm and indifferent, as if he had everything under control, yet also arrogant as if nothing pleased him. This was what Xi Mie Tianlai hated most about him.

"But in my eyes, all three of you will become demons."

What he wants to do most is to lure the noble into the abyss, pull the saints down from the spotless altar, drive the lofty Buddha down from the sacred mountain, and create a completely new order and belief.

"The Holy Lord is the Lord of the Holy Land and can command all the monks. So let me ask you, how can you guarantee that the disciples of the Holy Land Wansheng Rock can become Buddhas and not demons from a thousand miles away?"

"If a Buddhist disciple is thousands of miles away from me and remembers my precepts, he will attain the Way. Even if he is by my side and often sees me, if he does not follow my precepts, he will never attain the Way."

“…It is the Sutra of Forty-two Chapters.”

Among the countless onlookers in the audience, there was a very familiar person, Xu Zhu, or you can also call him Xu Zhuzi.

Lingjiu Palace is located on Piaomiao Peak of Tianshan Mountain. It is not only in the northern part of the Western Regions, but also very close to the Liao Kingdom. Compared with others, Xu Zhu, the current head of Lingjiu Palace, learned about what happened in the Liao Kingdom earlier.

He had been in the Western Regions for so long, and was on the eastern border of the Western Regions, so he probably wasn't as well-informed as he was in Tianshan. However, the previous Palace Master of Lingjiu Palace, Tianshan Tonglao, had trained her subordinates so well that even without the control of the "Life and Death Talisman", their loyalty to Xu Zhu sometimes made him feel uncomfortable.

Any unusual events that occurred around Lingjiu Palace would be carefully sorted out and presented to Xu Zhu for his decision.

Although he has returned to secular life and finally married "Menggu", he cannot just give up the Buddhist influence of nearly thirty years. Xu Zhu had heard about the Liao Kingdom's belief in Buddhism when he was still in Shaolin Temple. This time he had the opportunity to come and see what was going on.

However, there were many affairs at Lingjiu Palace, as well as various matters concerning taking over Li Qinglu, which delayed Xu Zhu until now, when he was able to actually catch up with the Buddhist discussion.

The memory of learning Buddhist scriptures in the past was still there, and people who practiced martial arts had good hearing. Xu Zhu heard that several people on the stage used "The Sutra of Forty-two Chapters" in their conversations.

"Could it be that the masters have spent so much time here?"

This debate lasted for more than half a year. Xu Zhu really couldn't imagine how many ideas had been proposed, how many classics had been used, and how much brainpower had been consumed. When he was in Shaolin, he was a dull and unintelligent person. If he were asked to discuss Buddhism with others, he would probably not be able to last a day.

Although he was also very curious as to why the people on the stage did not fight each other, they obviously did not have a more special relationship to ease the conflict like the Buddha of Heaven and the Demon Emperor, or the Holy Infant Lord and Buddha Zhu. The two figures, one black and one white, on the stage seemed to be in a momentum of fighting to the death.

"With a debate of this magnitude, the Liao Kingdom should not be in the mood to start a war. Now, big brother can rest assured..."

Before coming to the Liao Kingdom, Xu Zhu was entrusted by his sworn brother Xiao Feng to come here to test the movements of the Liao Kingdom.

Xiao Feng still remembered that when he last met Yelu, the other party intended to send troops southward, and even wanted him to stay in Liao to lead the troops. If it weren't for Duan Junheng and Yuan Zui Moqiu's protection, he would probably not have been able to escape from the heavy encirclement.

Although he was born in Liao, he grew up on Han land. If Yelu still wanted to send troops, Xiao Feng would feel guilty no matter which side he supported.

When he first heard about the unusual movements of the Liao Kingdom, he wanted to go to the Liao Kingdom in person. If they really intended to send troops south, he was willing to risk his life to stop it. But as soon as he set foot in Liao territory, he immediately felt being watched from all directions.

Xiao Feng soon realized that Yelu had no intention of letting him go. As long as he entered the Liao Kingdom, he would never be able to return to the Central Plains, and he might even become a pawn that threatens the Central Plains martial arts world. In desperation, he could only entrust the matter to his sworn brother Xu Zhu.

"It looks like it will take a long time. I wonder if I can meet the masters."

The debate on the stage seemed to be endless once it got into the swing of things. Xu Zhu only took a short moment to think about it, but the topic they were discussing had already changed. Their words became more and more profound, sounding less and less like "human language", and ordinary people felt dizzy listening to them.

Based on his past interactions with the Xiantian people, Xu Zhu wanted to meet them, but judging from the situation on the stands, he had no idea when it would end. Moreover, he heard that those Buddhists usually avoided the crowd. When they were in the Western Regions, the two from the Wansheng Rock in the Holy Land showed up briefly and left without any interaction.

Even if he asked people from Lingjiu Palace to approach him, the other party might not remember who Xu Zhu was.

"Forget it, let me go back and inform my brother first."

In order to facilitate the notification, Xu Zhu directly let Xiao Feng stay in Lingjiu Palace temporarily. He brought his subordinates into the Liao Kingdom and could quickly deliver the letter to Xiao Feng.

Xu Zhu was not conspicuous in the crowd, and the Liao spies were also paying attention to the debate on the stage. Yelu didn't know that Xiao Feng, whom he wanted to stop, did not come, but he still learned about the latest situation of the Liao. He only cared about Xiao Feng, but completely forgot that Xiao Feng had two sworn brothers.

On the stage, ever since Jian Xue Wuming appeared, the Zhu Yan in the hands of the Buddha-Swallowing Boy often moved strangely, as if the sword spirit inside Zhu Yan had something to say.

But it is just a sword after all, and can express very little information. The Buddha-Swallowing Boy feels that there must be something about Jian Xue Wuming that is irritating Zhu Yan. After this discussion on Buddhism is over, he will have to find Jian Xue Wuming alone.

Just looking at the protective look of the Good Law Emperor, it might be difficult for him to find time for this kid to be alone. What he didn't know was that Jian Xue Wuming was also thinking about how to find the Buddha Devouring Boy alone. If he wanted to get the sword back and re-scabbard it, he had to reduce the other party's vigilance.

But Emperor Shanfa said that the enemy was extremely scheming. If he appeared at the same time with Bu Bu Lianhua or Emperor Shanfa, the other side would definitely be on guard and they wouldn't even be able to have a good chat.

In addition to the problem of the sword, he also had to figure out where the sense of familiarity in his heart came from. The Buddha-Swallowing Boy made a vague figure appear in his mind. Even though it was very vague, he was sure that it was definitely not the Buddha-Swallowing Boy.

Amid the debate, the two people who were also thinking about how to meet the enemy alone looked up at the same time. As their eyes met, Jian Xue Wuming once again saw the blurry figure whose face could not be seen clearly. The Buddha-devouring Boy suppressed the restless Zhu Yan. He was now sure that he did have a memory of being a bystander.

The body is acting, but his consciousness is just a spectator. The Buddha-Swallowing Boy does not think that he can be manipulated like a puppet by others, but the situation where the body and consciousness are not connected is really worrying.

"I need to talk to the kid across the street."

During the pause, the Buddha-devouring Boy told Ximie Tianlai beside him that he believed that if he wanted to deal with Jianxue Wuming, Ximie Tianlai would be very supportive.

In order to break the impasse, Yi Bu Lian Hua asked Jian Xue Wu Ming to come to him. As long as he could destroy his chance, Xi Mie Tian Lai was willing to do it.

"It seems that you care about this newcomer."

“There’s something very interesting about him.”

"indeed so."

Ximietian took a look at his disciple. There were many special features on Jianxue Wuming. It seemed that before his death, Yilian Reincarnation had put a lot of effort into him.

It is one thing that Jianxue Wuming carries the pure and holy Buddha's aura, but there is another point. The impure demonic aura on the Buddha-Swallowing Boy is also mixed with a trace of Buddha's aura, which should also come from the hands of Yi Lian Reborn. Only Ximie Tianlai knows this.

Yibu Lianhua said nothing and his true purpose could not be seen. Emperor Shanfa hated the murderous aura and demonic identity of the Buddha-Devouring Boy, so he did not notice this.

"Do you need my help?"

Jianxue Wuming is protected by the Emperor of Good Law, so it may be a bit difficult for the Buddha-Devouring Boy to implement his goal.

"nature."

"That's great. I'll have a good chat with the emperor."

————Transitioning————

"Xiao Cao, have you ever seen a black lotus?"

"No, it sounds like cursing."

Amakusa Twenty-six was half leaning on the railing out of boredom. He couldn't win over Ruyueying after all, so the two of them stayed in Baihua Tower for a few days. Ruyueying was gentle in nature, able to listen to the sounds of nature and observe all things, while Huamanlou was quiet and helpful, and liked to take care of flowers and plants. Unsurprisingly, the two of them got along very well.

He didn't know why Ru Yueying suddenly mentioned the black lotus, but he knew that black flowers were very rare. There were so many Buddhists in the Buddhist world who grew lotus, but he had never seen a black one.

"There is a black lotus inside the Wansheng Rock in the Holy Land. It is the remains of a lotus that was reincarnated."

"You who wrote 'The Lotus Rebirth', why are you suddenly saying this?"

Rather than talking about something that was thousands of miles away and confusing, Amakusa Twenty-six would rather want to know how Ru Yueying cured his heart palpitations and brought him into the Buddhist world.

They couldn't enter the Holy Land's All Saints Rock, so whether there were black lotuses inside was none of their business.

"This black lotus did not come from the lotus pond. It has a past life, a present life, and its own destiny."

"It took human form?"

Compared to a rare variety of lotus, Ru Yueying's description of the black lotus made it more like a living person. Considering the situation of a flower demon appearing in his own family, Hua Manlou felt that it was not impossible for the lotus to transform into a human.

"He originally had a human form, but his origin and heart did not match, so he turned into a black lotus and returned to the human world."

"That is to say, the Black Lotus was originally from an alien race."

The body and mind are not compatible. People are now in Buddhism, but in the past they could only be some alien race that could not enter Buddhism. Moreover, there are relatively few positive symbols in the metaphor of black. Amakusa Twenty-six guessed it was the case.

"He used to be a demon."

"...This is really the style of you monks."

Turning the devil into a lotus and then leading him to Buddhism is something these people would really do.

"It's been so many years since Yilian passed away, why are you talking about this now?"

"The fate of the Black Lotus is about to start again. Xiaocao, we will be going back soon."

He and Amakusa Twenty-Six have been using special methods to circumvent fate. Every major change will affect their destiny. It's time to go back.

"Mr. Ru Yueying is not good at martial arts, right? If necessary, I can arrange a carriage for the two of you."

"How did you and Lu Xiaofeng become friends? You have completely different personalities."

When it was said that Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing were friends, Tiancao Twenty-six didn't feel anything. They were two old foxes in the underworld, one running around everywhere causing trouble and investigating cases, and the other being a famous thief creating trouble himself. They seemed to be a good match as friends.

But Hua Manlou's personality is completely different from Lu Xiaofeng's. It is a miracle that these two people meet.

"Even though they are thousands of miles apart, it can't hinder Lu Xiaofeng's legs or shut his mouth."

"…Why does it sound familiar?"

It seems like they have people like this too.
