At night, in a dense bush, Li Huowang wrapped himself in a quilt and kept watch silently.
The night without a bonfire was very cold, after all, it was only March.
But at this moment he did not dare to light a fire, lest the fire in the dark night attract the monks' pursuit.
With the weak moonlight in the sky, Li Huowang reached out and took the Dao bell out of his arms.
The powerful elixir given by Dan Yangzi had been almost eaten, and this was the only thing he could show off now.
But thinking of the abbot holding it in his hand easily, Li Huowang felt strongly unwilling.
The other party wanted to deal with him, but he could only run away. This feeling was too uncomfortable.
"In this chaotic and weird world, everything is based on strength. If I want to gain a foothold here, I must be strong enough!"
"Even someone like Dan Yangzi can become so powerful, why can't I? No matter how weird the cultivation method of this world is, I must get it."
"I want to protect myself, and I also want to protect the people I want to protect. If I can't ask, I will steal, if I can't steal, I will rob, if I can't rob, I will do it!" Li Huowang's expression gradually became ferocious.
Just thinking of this, Li Huowang was stunned, and touched his neck with his hand with a puzzled expression, as if thinking about something.
"Namo ~ He La Dana ~ Duo La Ye Ye ~"
The silence of the woods was broken by an ethereal chanting sound.
Almost like a conditioned reflex, Li Huowang stood up suddenly and looked around quickly.
But it was pitch black all around, he didn't find anything, and the simple little traps he had made before didn't react at all.
"Namo ~ A Li Ye ~ Po Lu Jie Di ~ Shuo Bo La Ye." The ethereal chanting sounded again from the darkness, this time closer.
"Quick! Get up! Go! Run separately, don't worry about the donkey cart! Fool! Do what I taught you before!"
At Li Huowang's reminder, Bai Lingmiao subconsciously wanted to keep up with Li Huowang, but was carried on the shoulders of the fool and rushed to the east.
Li Huowang crossed the bushes and jumped back on the road. He gritted his teeth and rushed forward quickly. No matter what, the monks' target was only himself. If he really couldn't escape, there was no need for others to die together.
In the darkness, Li Huowang kept running, but the chanting sound from somewhere always followed him, and his nose began to smell the incense in the temple.
Suddenly, Li Huowang stopped while running. His pupils shrank slightly, staring at the dark road in front of him, where many fly-sized red dots were shaking slightly.
"Puttaya~Puttaya~Mithiliya~Nalajinchi..." The chanting became louder and louder.
Finally, the thing in the darkness slowly appeared. It was a Buddha, a giant, tall, but with very thin legs and a big belly.
The red dots that Li Huowang saw in the darkness before were actually bunches of incense sticks inserted into the Buddha's body. These incense sticks inserted into the Buddha's flesh shook as the Buddha's huge body swayed.
The tall Buddha surrounded by white smoke should have been full of fairy spirit, but when the environment changed to a dim forest path in the wild, it was a completely different story.
There were not just one but seven such Buddhas. They stood side by side, swaying their bodies towards Li Huowang.
They stepped on simple and repetitive steps, swaying left and right. They looked like people but not like people, and their expressions seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and angry but not angry.
When they were completely exposed to the moonlight, Li Huowang also saw the appearance of the first Buddha. He recognized that Buddha. It was Jiandun's face. "Amitabha, benefactor, you are not at peace."
Li Huowang looked up at the flesh-and-blood Buddha in front of him, which was at least four meters tall. "You finally stopped pretending, right? You are trash who worship monsters!!"
"Donor, I don't know what you are talking about. Come back to the temple with me. The cause and effect of Danyangzi is on you. If you leave with it, you will be in big trouble, and so will the people of the world."
After Jian Dun finished speaking, he put his hands together heavily, and the sound of flesh tearing rang out. One by one, fleshless palms swayed and grew out from behind him.
In an instant, like a peacock spreading its tail, the seven Buddhas just now have turned into seven terrifying and terrifying flesh-and-blood thousand-handed Buddhas.
"Ring, ring, ring~!!" As Li Huowang shook the Taoist bell in his hand vigorously, the surrounding environment began to distort, and the lines of the branches around him quickly twisted to form Master You.
But in the ringing of the bell, the chaos around did not affect the Buddhas. They stood there like reefs.
As Li Huowang dug up the dirt on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth, "?矙茛懇?!" Master You flew towards the Buddha with his afterimage.
"Hey!" The huge Buddha's palm slapped down hard, and dust flew up immediately.
However, Master You, who had no entity, completely ignored this attack, and directly drilled out from the back of his palm and pounced on the big face of the Buddha.
When Master You completely drilled into the head of a Buddha, the tall figure began to shake, and the huge palm kept waving like driving away flies.
However, this did not work. After a while, the huge Buddha fell heavily to the ground, and the facial features began to melt. The body that should have been unaffected also twisted with the illusion around it.
"Bang bang bang!!" The remaining six Buddhas quickly formed a circle with their backs to each other, and then smashed them hard on the ground like stone pillars, put their hands together, and began to recite the difficult Buddhist scriptures. "Tathagata Adolor~ Sanmo~ Sanbodhi~..."
As soon as the chanting sounded, Li Huowang in the distance immediately saw that something was wrong with Master You, and the lines that made up his body began to twist involuntarily.
Seeing this, Li Huowang grabbed the Taoist bell in his hand and shook it harder. "瘈繭!?耉攷櫜齫蘧!!"
After hearing Li Huowang say that he was willing to sacrifice more of his life, Master You struggled to maintain his body and rushed towards one of the Buddhas.
Accompanied by a trembling sound, another Buddha fell to the ground, but this was the limit of what Master You could do.
Amid the loud chanting, Master You in the air fell to the ground.
Seeing that Master You was useless, Li Huowang stopped shaking the bell, but as everything around him returned to normal, Master You on the ground did not dissipate.
All the lines on its body began to fade away and turned into pink flesh color. It had always been invisible, but was given a physical body by the chanting of the Buddhas.
The physical Master You looked like a large group of earthworms that were tied to a knot, slowly wriggling on the ground.
The giant hand with the swastika symbol on the palm slapped down heavily.
"Pah" Master You's body instantly turned into a ball of mud.
The giant hand that was attached to Master You's flesh and blood slowly raised up and clasped its hands together heavily. The remaining five Thousand-Handed Buddhas staggered over and stood in front of Li Huowang one by one. "Amitabha, donor, please follow us back."
