Tenzin Batu fled all the way back to Tiecheng Mountain, and from time to time he used his spiritual sense to scan the back to confirm whether Qiu Changtian was chasing him.
Seeing that the other party was still standing on the wilderness, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this person had the humble demeanor of an ancient gentleman.
After returning to the palace, Tenzin Batu reported to the masters, saying with a face full of shame:
"My disciple was incompetent and failed to defeat Master Chang Geng. Fortunately, I did not lose. I just ran out of energy and had to leave the stage early... Please punish me, Masters!"
"Not defeated?" Elder Mokong laughed sinisterly, "I was suppressed by the opponent the whole time and never had the upper hand. If this is not considered a defeat, then what is considered a defeat?"
He scolded Tenzin Batu before letting him go.
Only after Tenzin Batu left the palace did he show a relieved expression.
His master, Master Baojing, went on a journey to explore the Western Territory and never returned, and has been missing since then.
Everyone in the sect tended to believe that Master Baojing had passed away, and his disciples either turned to other masters or went into seclusion. However, Tenzin Batu, as the eldest brother in the Jindan realm, refused to accept the recruitment of any great master, so naturally he was troubled by the masters.
Not far from the palace, Gu Lie came out from the side, clasped his hands together and said with a smile:
"Congratulations, brother, for escaping from this predicament."
"Brother Gu, thanks to your reminder, I finally got through this disaster." Tenzin Batu also laughed heartily, "If you need anything, just tell me."
"Gu doesn't like other things, but Buddhist scriptures." Gu Lie recited the Buddha's name and said seriously, "I heard that you have a copy of the Mandala Sutra. I wonder if you would like to give it up?"
"You mean that book?" Tenzin Batu said awkwardly, "It is indeed something I found by chance, but it is only a fragment, and the second half seems to have been torn off by someone..."
As he spoke, he took out his storage bag, took out a torn scripture, handed it over and said:
"Since it's useless, I'll give it to you as a thank you gift."
Gu Lie took it calmly, but secretly knew that since Tenzin Batu carried it with him, he would definitely not really think that it was "useless", so he pretended to look at it.
"Junior brother." After a long while, Tenzin Batu asked tentatively, "Did you gain anything?"
"I have benefited a lot." Gu Lie said seriously, "This mandala is born from great compassion. After the Tathagata obtained all wisdom, he used the power of great compassion to give birth to the endless and majestic mandalas such as the body. Therefore, it is said to be born from great compassion..."
He gave a long lecture on profound Buddhist principles, but Tenzin Batu was completely confused and could only smile and say:
"So this is a profound Buddhist theory. As long as you like it, that's good. As long as you like it, that's good..."
He hurried away. Gu Lie watched his senior brother leave and thought to himself:
I already have the middle fragment of the Mandala Ornament Sutra, which can be used to practice the infinite adornment of speech; now I have obtained the early fragment from Tenzin Batu, which can be used to practice the infinite adornment of body.
What is missing is the last fragment, which is the Treasury of Infinite Adornment. Then, the entire "Mandala Adornment Sutra" can be collected and the Garbha Mandala Dharma can be cultivated... But where is the last fragment?
The only clue is that I heard that a monk from the Mortal Dao had seen similar Buddhist scriptures in the Dharma Hall. It seems that I have to find some time to visit Master Wei and Madam Wei.
I don’t know if the relationships we had in the past can still be useful now.
As his thoughts turned silently in his mind, Gu Lie sighed "Amitabha" again and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a man striding over the gate and coming towards him.
It was none other than the beloved disciple of Master Mokong, Long Xiang.
This man was eight feet eight, taller than Tenzin Batu, with a face as gloomy as dripping water, like a manager of an illegal debt collection company.
"Senior Brother Long Xiang." Gu Lie bowed quickly.
Long Xiang nodded slightly, without even looking at Gu Lie beside him, and walked straight into the palace.
After meeting the respected teachers in the hall, Long Xiang left the palace again and found that Gu Lie was still beside him.
His mind moved slightly, so he went over and asked:
"Did Tenzin Batu lose to that Chang Geng Zhenren before?"
"Yes, Senior Brother." Gu Lie said respectfully, "Senior Brother Tenzin Batu was worried about the opponent's first-grade golden elixir and his powerful strength, so he fought hard with him, but in the end, his true energy was exhausted and he was forced to retreat."
"Heh." Long Xiang sneered.
This Gu Lie must be getting old and confused, and his words are incoherent.
The first part says "I am worried about the opponent's first-grade golden elixir", and the second part says "I am fighting hard with him". Is there any causal relationship between the two?
He said with contempt:
"Tenzin Batu is good at everything, but none of them are rare. When he meets someone like him who is also good at all aspects and has better talent than him, he will naturally be defeated."
"I will go down the mountain and collect the head of Master Chang Geng, and then come back to ridicule your senior brother."
After saying this, Long Xiang laughed wildly and strode down the mountain.
Gu Lie looked at his back with pity, thinking that this senior brother had a very upright character, no wonder he chose the path of body-building techniques.
Will he be beaten up by Chang Geng Zhenren later? Or will he be killed?
Emotionally, I hope it's the latter; but rationally, the probability of being killed by an explosion is not high, and I will probably be beaten half to death.
It is said that the dragon elephant went all the way down the mountain, and at the back it simply started to run. With a single leap it could reach a distance of several feet, and its steps could make the sound of wind and thunder.
Arriving in the desert, Long Xiang saw a real person standing in the air with a sword in front of him, and immediately shouted:
"I am the Dragon Elephant of Tiecheng Mountain! Come and die, you dog thief from Kunlun!"
After shouting the lines, he took out a magic weapon from his storage bag, which turned out to be a very rare octagonal golden spear.
However, gun-type magic weapons are rare among all flying magic weapons. This is because although their straight-line speed is similar to that of flying swords, their turning is too unflexible. If they miss, the weapon will be doomed. Therefore, few cultivators use this magic weapon.
The dragon elephant grabbed the eight-sided golden spear, and its body suddenly bent like a long bow, and then threw the spear in its hand towards Qiu Changtian.
When Qiu Changtian saw him assuming the posture of a spear thrower, he was startled at first, but then he immediately reacted and shot the Tianyuan Yiqi sword forward with all his strength.
The golden spear tore through the air, making a low sonic boom, and then hit the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword head-on.
Even with Qiu Changtian's powerful first-grade golden elixir, he couldn't stop the attack of the golden spear. The Tianyuan Yiqi Sword was directly chopped away, and the eight-sided golden spear was also deflected by the huge force, whistling towards the sky above Qiu Changtian's right side, and the sound alone felt like tearing the eardrum.
Qiu Changtian immediately became angry. He made a gesture with his left hand to stabilize the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword, and quickly shot out a lightning with his right hand, which was the Shenxiao Thunder that was specifically designed to destroy life.
In ancient times, the Divine Thunder was a special attack against the demon race because it could directly exterminate life. No matter how strong your body is, it would be destroyed in one shot... Before the lightning reached the dragon elephant, it had already sensed the great danger. It bit its tongue with almost all its strength and spurted out a mouthful of blood, which quickly formed a large net in the air.
The net was sticky and filthy, but it only blocked the Divine Thunder for a moment before being torn apart from the center.
The rest of them continued to move forward without slowing down, passing over the dragon elephant's head - this man actually took advantage of the little time that delayed the divine thunder and forced himself to perform an Iron Bridge move, bending his upper body backward 180 degrees, and only then was he able to avoid the bombardment of the divine thunder.
The latter hit the desert ground and quickly blew up a large hole.
To die...
I’m going to die, die, die, die!
The dragon elephant, who was nearly killed by the divine thunder, didn't understand what was going on at this time, but was dominated by the fear from the bottom of his heart. He guessed that the opponent's thunder method was extremely restrained against the body refining school. If he was struck by the thunder by mistake, he would be smashed to pieces!
what to do?
In his mind, Gu Lie's previous words flashed through his mind like lightning:
"...I was worried that the other party was a first-grade golden elixir and had strong strength, so I fought hard with him, but in the end, my true energy was exhausted..."
Suddenly, Long Xiang had an idea and shouted:
"What a powerful Five Thunders Law! What a powerful Chang Geng Zhenren! I, Long Xiang, am convinced and would like to compete with you, but I am short of energy. I will go back and take some pills before trying again!"
After shouting, he covered his face, turned around, and fled for his life towards Tiecheng Mountain.
Two Shura Dao monks were defeated one after another using the same excuse. Now even the Kunlun main force that was watching the battle from the rear understood what was going on, and everyone started laughing without hesitation.
