Chapter 132: Encountering a Strong Enemy Again
Hearing this, Su Qingwu frowned slightly.
The two of them did not reveal their identities, but only stated their purpose. This Buddhist cultivator actually directly invited them to join the sect?
If someone with malicious intentions came here, wouldn't that be inviting a wolf into the house?
Or does the other party have ulterior motives?
For a moment, all kinds of doubts came to my mind.
Gong Ningliu also had doubts. The two communicated via voice transmission for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.
Both of them were Jindan cultivators, while the six monks in front of them were in the Lianqi stage and posed no threat at all.
Following the six people into the sect, Su Qingwu began to secretly observe the situation around him.
Perhaps because they are both Buddhist sects, the overall layout of this sect is similar to that of Xiao Wuxiang Temple in Dongxuanzhou and Brahma Sect.
There are many Bodhi trees planted in the sect. Except for the nine-story pagoda, the rest of the buildings are only one-story.
We walked slowly all the way, and after about half a cup of tea, we arrived in front of the courtyard.
The monk leading the way paused.
"Please wait in the courtyard for a moment. I will go and ask the elder for instructions right away."
Su Qingwu nodded slightly and said thank you for your hard work.
After they left, the two of them entered the courtyard together, observed with their spiritual sense, and after confirming that there was no problem, they immediately began to communicate.
"Senior Sister Gong, what do you think of the current situation of this sect?"
Gong Ningliu said frankly: "It's hard to judge. Although I didn't see any signs of fighting along the way, I always felt a sense of disharmony in my heart. I can't say what it is."
Su Qingwu hit the nail on the head with one sentence, "Without the chanting of sutras, the sect would be too quiet."
When Gong Ningliu heard this, a look of enlightenment suddenly appeared on her face. She had never been to a Buddhist temple before, so she didn't think of this aspect at the first time.
"What is this Pure Land Sect..."
He stopped talking abruptly in the middle of his speech.
It was because there was a breath of air outside the yard approaching this place rapidly.
The two looked at each other and became alert.
After a moment, a creaking sound was heard and the gate was pushed open.
The person who came was the Buddhist practitioner who had led the way earlier. He put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name.
"Two donors, Elder Jiming invites you. Please move and follow me to the pagoda."
There is only one pagoda of the Pure Land Sect, and this is the place where the Extreme Demon Bell was suppressed.
Su Qingwu and her senior sister communicated secretly, reached a consensus, and went to the pagoda together.
Along the way, I still didn't hear any chanting.
When she was about to reach her destination, she looked at the person leading the way and asked casually, "Is the sect closed today?"
The Buddhist monk who led the way shook his head subconsciously, "There is no such thing as rest and bathing in the sect."
“Then why is no one reciting the sutra?”
"This... the abbot has other plans today."
After saying this, the pace of the Buddhist monk leading the way obviously quickened a lot, and soon arrived at the entrance of the pagoda.
Seeing this, Su Qingwu did not ask any more questions.
Soon, Su Wen's voice was heard from across the sea.
"I seem to... sense the aura of the Ultimate Demon Bell?"
"The pagoda was originally a place to suppress this evil thing, so it's normal for some of its aura to remain, right?"
"No, as a ghost cultivator, I am very sensitive to this kind of thing. From my perception, what exists here is a real object."
Su Qingwu reacted immediately.
"So, the powerful enemy in Dongxuanzhou is now in the Pure Land Sect?"
“That’s a very real possibility.”
Upon hearing the news, Su Qingwu immediately sent a message to inform her senior sister.
Originally it was just a suspicion, but now it is almost 100% certain that there is a trap in the pagoda, so the two of them will naturally not enter.
The Buddhist monk who was leading the way saw them stop and did not ask any questions, but went straight into the pagoda.
The Extreme Demonic Bell was extremely strange. When Su Qingwu transmitted his thoughts, he had already reminded his senior sister to be on guard. At this moment, both of them had blocked their sense of smell and hearing.
Sure enough, the next moment, a series of bell sounds were heard from inside the pagoda.
The two were unable to hear and were therefore not affected.
At the same time, a group of Buddhist monks holding Zen sticks rushed out from the buildings and surrounded Su Qingwu and Gong Ningliu.
Looking closely, one can see that the pupils of these people have all turned blood red, and it is obvious that they have all been controlled.
These Buddhist practitioners mainly focus on refining Qi and building a foundation, and have not yet reached the Golden Elixir stage.
The two of them launched a casual attack, and wherever the spiritual power passed, all the Buddhist practitioners flew backwards.
At this moment, a hundred-foot-tall, pitch-black Buddha statue slowly condensed above the pagoda.
This strange phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of surrounding forces.
The appearance of the Black Buddha signifies disaster.
Combined with the recent earthquake, many speculations arose.
For a time, people were in panic.
The Pure Land Sect has had very few external contacts in recent years. Now that the Black Buddha has appeared, all forces are trying to avoid him as much as possible, and no one has come to investigate the situation.
After the Black Buddha appeared above the pagoda, the Pure Land Buddhist practitioners seemed to be attracted by something and began to chant Sanskrit together.
The people who were knocked flying all stabilized their bodies in mid-air. Upon careful observation, it was found that they were all surrounded by a layer of faint black light.
Witnessing this scene, Su Qingwu quickly used the Disha Tianyin Jue.
All the evil spirits in the underground within a radius of twenty miles were aroused at this moment, transforming into a clone with the same strength as the original body, and launched an attack on the pagoda head-on.
On the other side, Gong Ningliu also made hand gestures and performed a gold-solidifying technique, which transformed into a golden light defense that enveloped herself and her junior sister.
After a while, a giant pitch-black bowl suddenly appeared in front of the Black Buddha. It flew out with a whoosh and covered the two people's heads.
Su Qingwu's sight was suddenly plunged into darkness, and he could not see his hand in front of him.
The attack launched by the clone hit the pagoda with a bang, and a figure flew out from it in an instant.
He was wearing a blood-red robe, with disheveled hair and holding the Demonic Bell in his right hand. He was none other than the powerful enemy from Dongxuanzhou.
After the Disha Tianyin Jue is performed, the original body can sense what the clone sees.
Therefore, although Su Qingwu was temporarily trapped in the bowl, he knew the situation outside very clearly.
At this moment, the main body is using nine precious swords to form a sword formation, and together with senior sister Gong Ningliu, they are joining forces to resist the bowl.
In fact, if she could perform the Nine Swords Combined into One move again, she could easily break this thing.
Unfortunately, this method requires the right time and place to be implemented, so it cannot be done as you wish for the time being.
When the time comes in the future, this condition may be achieved, but it cannot be done at the moment.
The energy of the bowl and the black Buddha are the same. As long as the black Buddha does not perish, the bowl will not disappear.
After resisting for a while, Su Qingwu felt that it would be disadvantageous to their side if the situation dragged on like this, so he made a prompt decision and took his senior sister Gong Ningliu with him to escape underground.
Not long after, he escaped from the side facing away from the Black Buddha, and nine precious swords simultaneously chopped out a sword beam.
Upon seeing this, the Lord of the Extreme Demonic Bell waved his sleeves, and several balls of precious light flew out from his sleeves, followed by a series of loud booms.
All the sword attacks were blocked.
In mid-air, the figure of the black Buddha became more and more solid.
At this moment, Su Qingwu remembered a treasure that had been kept in his storage bag and had never been used, the Nine-Capture Soul-Snatching Scroll!
