Chapter 30: Asura's Wrath
The next day.
Fang Yi checked out of the room.
Getting ready to rush to the next stop.
The harvest in Suzhou was quite rich.
Not only did he get the magic he had always dreamed of.
He even tried out two unique skills: releasing Dan Qi and unleashing "spiritual consciousness".
Just arrived outside the hotel.
He saw Xiaoli leaning against a red car in the parking lot not far away.
"Real person!" Xiaoli waved to him when she saw him coming out.
She sent herself back to the hotel last night, so she knew it wasn't unusual to stay here.
But Fang Yi couldn’t quite understand why the other party was looking for him?
No time to respond yet.
Xiao Li came over at a trot and said hurriedly, "Master, you'd better leave Gusu as soon as possible. You made too much noise when casting a spell last night, and someone tracked you down to my master's house. He was afraid that you would be targeted, so he asked me to drive you away."
"It's a bit noisy?" Fang Yi asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Xiaoli took out her phone and opened TikTok. "Look."
Fang Yi leaned over to watch, and saw a short video titled "Shocking: A natural wonder of a water dragon rolling backwards appeared in a community in Suzhou."
In the video, a huge water dragon as big as a waterfall rolls up and rushes into the sky, which is particularly spectacular!
There are many more comments in the comment section.
“Is it fake?”
“It must be a special effect.”
"Really! I just analyzed every frame of the video and made sure it hasn't been modified!"
"Fuck, are there really immortal cultivators in this world?"
"Yes, it's true. At the scene, I was the telephone pole."
"Blessings and infinite blessings, I am only using a little magic, fellow Taoists, please do not panic."
"To be able to perform the Water Dragon Technique, one must at least be a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, right?"
There are many more comments below.
Fang Yi didn't read them one by one, after all, there were tens of thousands of comments.
However, through the video he clearly understood that this time the incident had indeed become a big deal.
Fang Yi was used to being free and did not want to be targeted by the relevant departments, so he simply did not refuse Xiaoli and said, "Miss Xiaoli, please take me out of Gusu, thank you."
"Okay, get in my car."
Xiaoli rushed to help Fang Yi carry his luggage like a flatterer, and her attitude was so enthusiastic that it was beyond words.
Get in the car.
Fang Yi sat in the back row.
Xiaoli asked as she drove: "Zhenren, where are you going?"
Fang Yi replied, "Jiaxing."
As he spoke, he thought of something, "By the way, do you know which Taoist temple in Jiaxing is relatively large?"
"The biggest one is Jingyan Temple." Xiaoli drove slowly away from the hotel. She seemed to know a lot and chattered, "Speaking of which, Jingyan Temple is very legendary."
Fang Yi was interested and asked, "Oh? Tell me in detail."
Xiaoli told what she knew, "Legend has it that during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a white light coming out of the well at night where Shangshu Xu Xi lived. Later, it was converted into a temple and was called Lingguang Temple at the time. During the Wuyue Kingdom of the Five Dynasties, it was renamed Linggui Temple because a turtle was dug up while building the mountain gate. It was not until the Song Dynasty that it was renamed Jingyan Temple. Then it was destroyed during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. Later, it was abolished and restored several times until it was rebuilt in the 1990s. Well, it moved to a new address at that time, and then moved again in 2004, forming its current scale."
Um?
Moved twice?
Fang Yi blinked.
Based on his previous experiences of exploring temples, the longer a temple exists and the more popular it is, the more divine power it will accumulate.
For example, the thousand-year-old Guangjiao Temple in Langshan possesses such tremendous divine power that even Fang Yi, who has cultivated the golden elixir, would not dare to covet it.
So is it possible that the original site of the destroyed temple still retains the power of faith that was accumulated previously?
Or, would a new temple that had been built a dozen or twenty years ago be easily conquered by myself because it did not have enough power of incense accumulated?
If possible, maybe I would have a chance to gain new magical powers!
Fang Yi became interested and said, "Xiao Li, when we get to Jiaxing later, can you take me to the original site of Jingyan Temple?"
"Sure, the old site is right in the city." Xiaoli responded.
The two chatted as they traveled.
During this period, Fang Yi learned Xiaoli's real name, Xu Xiaoli.
At the same time, I also know that the other party is a home decoration designer, but he was only helping out in Zhu Changqing's store because he was on vacation recently.
As for why Xu Xiaoli chose Zhu Changqing as her teacher, it was because she had a serious illness when she was a child and was eventually cured by Zhu Changqing. After that, she became obsessed with Chinese medicine and begged Zhu Changqing to become her teacher.
…
An hour and a half later.
The car arrived at an old residential area.
Xu Xiaoli stopped the car and pointed ahead, saying, "It's right there."
Fang Yi looked in the direction she pointed.
At the entrance to the residential area there is an ancient building with yellow walls.
The plaque at the door reads "Jiaxing City Buddhist Association".
He did not get out of the car, but immediately left his body to check the situation.
Clearing away all distracting thoughts, he freed his mind from his body.
The next moment, he saw the overwhelming Buddha's light covering the two-story temple in front of him with yellow walls, black tiles, vermilion pillars and corridors in the north and south.
It is different from the red light of Langshan Mountain that covers the entire Jianghai Plain.
The Buddha's light here is only one meter away from the yellow wall of the old site and does not extend to other places.
And the Buddha's light seems to have several layers.
For example, the Buddha's light outside the yellow wall is only a thin layer.
The Buddha's light inside the yellow wall is more majestic.
The most dazzling are the corridors and temples, which are as strong as substance.
What was even more shocking was that Fang Yi actually saw a giant Buddha faintly forming around the temple.
This giant Buddha is more than twenty feet tall. He sits cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed and there is a merit wheel behind him.
One quick glance will tell you how popular this temple was in the past.
Try to see how strong the protection is.
Based on the experience gained from the last visit to the village temple and the night visit to Guangjiao Temple.
Fang Yi knew that he could not see the "divine realm" unless he entered the range of the Buddha's light.
For example, in Langshan, his soul did not enter, so he did not see what the divine realm of Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta looked like.
But he didn't want to risk himself by exploring the divine realm.
After all, if the guardian beast is too strong, it is possible to beat him to pieces.
"Yes, I have divine consciousness. Can't I just let it enter the divine realm and watch?"
Fang Yi's soul immediately returned to his body, and then he released his spiritual consciousness towards the Buddha's light.
The divine consciousness entered the divine realm smoothly without encountering any obstruction.
The scenery before my eyes changes.
Sanskrit sounds are heard everywhere in my ears.
In the blink of an eye, I found myself entering an endless plain.
The plain is illuminated by the Buddha's light.
Not far away there is a vast lake with green water and blooming lotus flowers.
In the middle, there is a Buddhist kingdom full of Buddhist buildings floating above the huge mountain.
There is a huge Bodhi tree on the top of the mountain.
There is light smoke curling up all around, faint fragrance, and thousands of colorful flowers surrounding.
What a beautiful place.
Fang Yi exclaimed in admiration and was about to use his spiritual sense to take a closer look.
Suddenly, the distant horizon shook.
It seemed as if something broke through the ground.
Although I haven't seen anything yet, the clouds in the sky and the boundless earth are shaking!
Then, the Buddha's light suddenly dissipated!
The whole world fell into darkness.
Countless ghost cries and wolves howled spontaneously.
Amid the desolate cries, streams of gray gas gathered towards the sky.
He looked over anxiously and was shocked!
The gray gas rose beyond the universe and formed a gigantic Asura with three faces and six arms!
This Asura is more than ten thousand feet tall.
It seemed to rise vertically from the ground, raising its right hand in front of it and spreading it out, almost covering the entire sky, and then it slowly turned its palm over and pressed down towards the ground!
Asura's palm is still thousands of feet high in the sky, but the power of the slowly lowering palm is so powerful that it makes people's heart break!
A terrifying gust of wind rushed down from the sky, causing the earth to crack.
The water in the lake surged and flew towards both sides, forming a huge water curtain and chasm.
Then Fang Yi felt a black screen in front of his eyes and he could no longer see anything.
"What a terrifying Ashura!"
Fang Yi's thoughts returned to reality, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared.
Fortunately, no soul had rashly entered the divine realm just now, otherwise, his soul would have been scattered to pieces now.
He wanted to give up at that moment and was about to let Xu Xiaoli drive away.
But Fang Yi was still a little unwilling and his soul left his body again.
He wanted to see if there were any flaws in this temple that had been abandoned for many years.
Unfortunately, it is still the same as before, seemingly indestructible.
Fang Yi couldn't help but feel regretful.
Since there is such a terrifying Asura guarding within the divine realm.
Then the function of the statue inside is very likely to be more powerful than the statue in the village.
It’s a pity that I can’t get in.
Fang Yi felt depressed.
The soul is preparing to return to the body again.
Suddenly, I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
He felt that the "concentration" of the Buddha's light seemed to have faded.
This is different from the rapid replenishment of energy after the four explosions of golden light at the Wolf Mountain Gate.
These Buddha lights are like rootless duckweed and cannot be "repaired".
"It doesn't seem to be indestructible."
His eyes brightened up and he vaguely understood what was going on.
If I'm not mistaken, it's because Jingyan Temple has moved.
There are no longer a large amount of incense here, so naturally there is no way to replenish the power of faith transformation.
"In other words, if I can completely eliminate all the Buddha's light that protects the temple, I can go inside and check?"
Fang Yi roughly knew what to do.
If it is indeed feasible, there might be a chance to gain the magical powers of a statue that is more powerful than the one in the village!
