Chapter 309: Demon Subjugation and Enlightenment
The gap is like a chasm like an abyss, which cannot be crossed by courage alone.
Looking at the figure covered in hazy golden light, Master Shanzhen coughed up blood and phlegm again.
It can't be stopped.
Even though he had used all his strength to activate the Red Voice Fire Vajra, wanting to burn everything with his wrath, he was still easily defeated.
The power of this god is unfathomable, and he is more powerful than many gods enshrined in shrines.
Even though it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot and overestimating my own abilities, I still have to give it a try.
Abbot Shanzhen stood firmly in a horse stance, exerting all his magical powers, and a faint white smoke rose up.
A complex pattern slowly emerged on his naked back.
This is a picture, in which the Buddha Shakyamuni is seated in full lotus position as the center, with demon armies flanking him on both sides. On one side of the lower part are the demon king and the seductive demon woman, and on the other side is the old woman transformed from the demon woman. Below the Buddha's seat is the demon king who has surrendered to the Buddha.
As this picture became apparent, the aura emanating from Abbot Shan Zhen increased exponentially!
The Red-Voice Fire Vajra that had been shattered turned into golden light and merged into this picture.
Host Shanzhen's facial features were twisted together, as if he was enduring some unimaginable pain.
As the complete picture appeared on his back, Master Shan Zhen shot out like a cannonball!
In a flash, he arrived in front of the god, and his right hand chopped down like a knife, cutting off the power of the god that was pulling Chie Yamaguchi.
Snapped!
Chie Yamaguchi regained her freedom and fell from mid-air. Fortunately, she was supported by Hiromasa Yamaguchi. The family of three quickly retreated to a farther place to avoid being affected.
"To carry the Demon Subduing and Enlightenment Diagram in one's flesh and blood... is rare."
The deity, radiating golden light, figured out the origin of the picture on the back of Abbot Shanzhen, and his voice became more serious.
It is rumored that when Sakyamuni was about to become a Buddha, the devil Marun led the devil women and the devil army to invade the Buddha's residence, using beautiful women to seduce him and threatening him with force, in an attempt to destroy Sakyamuni's determination to become a Buddha.
In the end, Sakyamuni used his "demon-subduing form" to defeat Mara and the demon army.
Conquering the devil and attaining enlightenment was a turning point in the life of Buddha Shakyamuni. From this event, Shakyamuni completed the great transformation from an ordinary person to an enlightened Buddha.
In order to record this event, people in later generations drew this story into a picture, which is the Picture of Subduing Demons and Attaining Enlightenment.
"Demon Subduing Transformation!"
Abbot Shanzhen shouted in a deep voice, and golden light emanated from his body. He wanted to awaken the power of Sakyamuni in the picture of subduing demons and attaining enlightenment, but the god in front of him pressed his shoulder first.
Under the pressure of a huge force, half of Master Shanzhen's body collapsed, and the demon-subduing transformation he was performing was only halfway completed.
The naked back and the picture of conquering demons and attaining enlightenment have turned into a dark mass, looking very much like a demon, and have lost the Buddha nature that belongs to Sakyamuni.
Only half of the Demon-Subduing Transformation was performed, and what was summoned was not the power of Sakyamuni, but the power of the demon king Mara!
Abbot Shanzhen acted decisively and immediately dispersed his energy to avoid attracting the power of the demon king Mara.
Otherwise, he will suffer the backlash of conquering demons and be invaded by the devil, becoming a demon that brings disaster to the world.
When Abbot Shanzhen was dispersing his power, the spirit in front of him had been waiting for this moment. With a light palm strike, Abbot Shanzhen was once again blown away and smashed another wall.
"..."
Host Shanzhen struggled for a while and spat out another mouthful of blood.
The whole person suddenly became listless and lost all his energy and spirit, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.
"Subduing demons and attaining enlightenment is not something that ordinary practitioners can do. You must be cautious."
Abbot Shanzhen heard a whisper in his ear, and a soft golden light flew from not far away and poured into his back.
This is a pure, bright and warm magical power.
The visitor is a Buddhist monk!
Abbot Shanzhen slowly closed his eyes, and with the help of this magical power, he quickly calmed his breathing and injured his body to prevent himself from being invaded by the demon.
"Master Liansheng, you, you are finally here!"
Yamaguchi Hiroya, who had retreated to a corner with his wife and daughter, looked at the person coming not far away, with infinite hope rising in his eyes.
Even though the person was young, the sense of security he brought was unprecedentedly strong. Was that person Master Liansheng?
Chie Yamaguchi followed her father's gaze and was stunned for a moment before blinking after a long time.
Isn’t that a very handsome high school student?
Is he the Master Rensheng of Tokyo?
Is he a Buddhist monk who can fight against gods?
Could he be some kind of old monk who has regained his youth?
Countless questions immediately arose in Chie Yamaguchi's mind, but she only dared to think about them silently in her heart and did not dare to speak out loud, so as not to attract the attention of the god.
"Master Liansheng, are you here to stop me tonight?"
The god, who was radiating golden light, spoke with a serious tone.
"I'm just here to take a look. I won't necessarily interfere in your affairs."
While Pinggong Qianye was speaking, he walked to the side of Abbot Shanzhen and helped him up.
If he hadn't seen Abbot Shanzhen in danger, he wouldn't have appeared so early.
"I have shown mercy to him."
"I know, so I accept your kindness."
Pinggong Qianye nodded, indicating that he could do what he wanted and complete the 20-year deal.
Seeing this, Yamaguchi Hiroya showed an incredulous look and said nervously: "Master Liansheng, aren't you coming to save us?"
"Why did Master Liansheng save you?"
Following behind Hiramiya Chiya, Akechi Mitsuhide also went up to the second floor via the stairs.
"You prayed for the gods' help 20 years ago and took the initiative to make a deal with them. You have been blessed by them for 20 years. Now 20 years have passed and you want to take advantage of them for nothing. Where in the world can such a good thing happen?"
Akechi Mitsuhide responded bluntly. He always looked down on such freeloaders.
Even if you go to a sex shop to have fun, you still have to pay money.
He has been blessed by the gods for 20 years, but he refused to fulfill the deal and was still thinking about getting something for free. He is simply a despotic person!
"But my daughter is innocent..." Yamaguchi Hiroya lowered his head in shame, but still wanted to argue.
"innocent?"
Akechi Mitsuhide came to Tainomiya Chiye, half leaning against the wall, looked at Yamaguchi Chie and said, "You are rich and powerful because of the blessing of the gods. Your daughter enjoys a rich life because of this. She wears foreign brand-name clothes and eats delicacies from land and sea. The grace of the gods has already benefited her. How can she talk about innocence?"
"..."
Yamaguchi Hiromasa was no match for Akechi Mitsuhide, and looked at Hiramiya Chiya for help. Akechi Mitsuhide took a step forward to block his view.
"If a person does not save himself, even Buddha cannot protect him."
Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and sighed, "If you are a grateful person, after you have received the protection of the gods, you will surely worship the gods devoutly and regard the gods as your most precious things. But you don't even have a shrine in your home."
"..."
Yamaguchi Hiromasa opened his mouth and was speechless.
Yes, he really has too many opportunities to change the current situation.
Ultimately, he is just purely selfish.
Only after he has enjoyed a life of wealth and luxury does he feel that family affection is the most precious thing.
If time could go back and he returned to the time when he had not yet made his fortune, and the gods directly asked him to sacrifice his first child, would he really refuse?
will not.
At that time, he would never refuse this deal. Even if the deal meant that he would be alone for the rest of his life, he would still choose the path of great wealth and honor.
What else can we say today?
