Chapter 765: Submit to Me
Taoist Hou's heart sank, and he completely lost hope, but he did not lose the courage to resist. Instead, he mobilized his magic power, conjured up thousands of troops around him, arranged his troops into battle formations, and charged towards the Golden True Nature King.
The Golden True Nature King laughed loudly: "You are overestimating your own abilities!"
He patted the horns of the red sheep at his feet, and the ferocious, ferocious red sheep began to charge. With a single leap, it crushed the charging soldiers under its hooves, dispersing in streams of light. Then, with a flick of its head, it pierced two soldiers, one on each side, with its horns. Then, with its jaws wide open, it bit the soldier in front of it, killing another.
The Golden True Nature King used his six arms to display his magical powers, facing thousands of troops, and transformed into a golden blade wrapped in evil fire, charging in and out of the army formation.
Taoist Hou stood behind the military formation, and soldiers kept appearing around him and joining the battlefield. Under his command, the entire battlefield quickly condensed into a ball, like a swimming dragon, with no head or tail visible, trapping the Golden True Nature King inside.
Golden True Nature Ming Wang looked around and said with a smile: "The art of war is the way to enlightenment. If you have such ability, why don't you go to the Dragon Court and waste your time here?"
"That's right. It's precisely because of your ability that we can't let you go. Taoist Hou, when you killed King Mara, didn't you imagine that you would be trapped there for four hundred years?"
"Have you ever thought about what the big deal is? Someone has to kill the devil, and someone has to resolve the grievances. Since you are here with me, there is no reason to avoid you." Taoist Hou's face turned slightly pale, not because he was provoked by the words of the Golden True Nature King, but because his magic power could not keep up.
The troops attacked, and although he transformed into a dragon and possessed tremendous power, he was still unable to crush the Golden True Nature King with his invincibility. Instead, wherever the Golden True Nature King went, the soldiers and generals suffered heavy losses.
If the military strategy does not have the ability to turn beans into soldiers, and cannot obtain the help of ghosts and gods, and only relies on magical powers to transform, it will inevitably fall into the rut of competing for skills, and will not be able to defeat the strong with the weak.
"You've already lost!" The anger in the heart of the Golden True Nature King spread all over his body. He raised the golden skull in his hand and uttered strange and eerie mantras.
The ghost realm began to tremble, and more than 480 Buddha statues inside and outside the Buddha Temple came to life, but they were not in the image of Buddha. Instead, they had transformed into various evil ghosts and demons, with golden bodies, wearing brocade clothes, and spewing angry flames from their mouths, and rushed towards Hou Laodao to kill him.
Taoist Hou sighed, knowing that the situation was hopeless.
In just a moment, the army formation was broken by the demon.
The Golden True Nature King stepped on the backs and heads of these demons and walked in front of Taoist Hou. The old Taoist had exhausted his magic power and was pinned to the ground by a pig-headed demon, which sniffed at him with its long arched mouth, looking very greedy.
The Golden True Nature King stretched out his finger and turned the pig-headed demon into a shackle, locking up Taoist Hou.
Xinjue, with his headless head, stretched out his six arms, like a giant spider standing upright. He walked up to Hou Laodao and said, "Look, it's all in vain."
Taoist Hou lamented, "I originally had the opportunity to cultivate in the righteous way, but now I have entered the evil way. Is this really a good thing?"
The bony hand with a mouth stretched out in front of Taoist Hou and said, "King Mara has achieved enlightenment. What else do you have to argue about?"
"Ming Wang, why don't you kill this beast to vent the hatred of four hundred years?"
The Golden True Nature King sat back on the red goat and said, "He excels in military tactics. Wouldn't it be a pity to kill him? He should become an invincible teacher for me, sweeping across the universe and wiping out those who blaspheme the Dharma."
The Golden True Nature King rode a red sheep down the Nine Mirror Pagoda. Master Shangyi and the monks could only chant sutras and mantras to protect themselves. The Dharma Mirror Sutra emitted a faint light, resisting the erosion of the underworld.
"The Dharma Mirror Sutra, the method of cultivation of the deity, begins with the Dharma Mirror." The Golden True Nature Mingwang reminisced.
Xinjue still remembered it and said, "Back then, I demonstrated the Dharma through the Dharma Mirror Sutra, and Ming Wang entered the path through it. This shows our fate."
The Dharma Mirror Sutra is the true mantra for examining the mind and clarifying the nature. It was originally a secret text written in Sanskrit and has the magical power to protect the Dharma body.
"Since they are monks and they practice the Dharma Mirror Sutra, let them go and send them back." Golden True Nature Mingwang glanced at the monks who were protected by Master Shangyi. Just one glance, and several of the monks' minds were shaken.
"That is the Wrathful King of Wisdom, the incarnation of my Buddha..."
"Is it the Lord God who protects Buddhism who has come to save us?"
Only Master Shangyi knew that it was not the real Buddha, but he did not dare to say much.
Xinjue pulled the shackles on Hou Laodao and forced him to move forward. As Hongyang walked out of Jingta Temple, the ghost area around Jingta Temple gradually became blurred and returned to the ground.
The fog in the netherworld kept moving along with the Golden True Nature Mingwang, but it changed from the thick fog that was impossible to see clearly to a hazy mist.
The Xia Pi City God led the ghost soldiers to surround Jingta Temple, but as the fog moved, the Xia Pi City God commanded the ghost soldiers to retreat again and again.
Suddenly, two shadows emerged from the fog and gradually became clearer. The Golden True Nature Mingwang riding a red sheep and the Headless Xinjue with six arms and five senses passed through the fog and appeared in front of everyone.
"Another old acquaintance, General Zhang, do you still remember me?" Golden True Nature King asked with a sneer.
"Lord Mara!" The Xia Pi City God said solemnly, the divine seal in his hand radiating a brilliant light. "For four hundred years, we have tried every possible means to guide you onto the righteous path. I never thought that our efforts would fail at the last moment, and you have continued to stray further into the evil path."
Golden True Nature Ming Wang sighed, "After four hundred years of reincarnation, I cannot repay this kindness. So I have no choice but to capture you and discuss this in detail."
When the Golden True Nature King spoke, the mist behind him spread out like a hurricane, and in just a moment, it swept all the city god's soldiers into the underworld.
The City God raised his divine seal and shouted, "Form a formation!"
The ghost soldiers shouted and transformed into a huge general, rushing towards the Golden True Nature King.
"The Netherworld is also under my control!" The Xia Pi City God's eyes widened. "Lord Mara, why don't you retreat immediately?"
The Golden True Nature Mingwang used one hand to block the General God's sword with the Demon Subduing Pestle and chopped it off, while with the other hand he raised the golden skull and spewed out endless angry flames, forcing the General God to retreat.
"Back off? You've been the City God of Xia Pi long enough. Why don't you give up your position and let me sit down? No, I'm the King of Xia Pi. You little City God, why don't you pay your respects and submit to me?"
“Don’t even think about it!” The City God of Xia Pi raised the divine seal. The general god held the seal in one hand and the sword in the other, and fought with the Golden True Nature King.
"Come on!" The golden skull shouted, and more than four hundred monsters flew out from the nearby Buddha Temple and rushed into the army of Xia Pi City God.
The Golden True Nature Mingwang made a seal with his hands to stop the general god, making the army unable to save itself. With just a few charges, the general god in front of him was defeated.
The Golden True Nature Mingwang grabbed the Xia Pi City God's seal with one hand, preventing him from using the seal to display his magical powers.
The ferocious red-haired sheep rushed over, lifted him up with its horns, threw him to the ground, and then stepped on him.
Golden True Nature Ming Wang grabbed the erratic divine seal with both hands and forcibly sealed it in his own grasp. He looked down at the Xia Pi City God and said, "Whether you submit or not is not up to you."
Xinjue laughed heartily, and a thousand white-skeletal hands appeared behind him, grabbing everywhere and catching all the defeated ghost soldiers in his hands. He manifested a huge Dharma body of a thousand-armed white-skeletal Bodhisattva, and the hundreds of ghost soldiers in his hands were like fruits hanging on a dense tree.
The City God of Xia Pi looked at Hou Laodao who was wearing shackles not far away. Both of them looked ashen.
