Chapter 78 Fishing, Those who are willing to take the bait
Such a huge toad god had its stomach burst, its head chopped off, and died in front of him?
The two tall and thin priests of the Golden Light Sect looked at each other in shock.
The Toad God is dead, and they don’t know how this incident will end tonight.
Among the gods canonized by their Golden Light Sect, the magical power of the Toad God can be ranked in the top three. In addition, he has been practicing swallowing the moon recently. Given time, he can become the most powerful god under the great Golden Light God!
It can be said that the Toad God is a deity that everyone in the Golden Light Sect is looking forward to.
But now, the Toad God's stomach has been cut open and its head has been chopped off. There is no sign of life left and there is no hope for him.
After a long silence, the two looked at each other and aimed at the magic bead in the Toad God's body that was used for moon-swallowing cultivation. That was the crystallization of the Toad God's lifelong magic power, which could be used to feed other gods and greatly increase their strength.
But the young monk in front of me...
"Toad God, you died so pitifully!"
"You killed the Toad God! You killed a formally enthroned god!"
The thin priest was caressing the Toad God's body and crying sadly, while the tall priest was loudly questioning and issuing a series of questions.
"Your behavior has seriously violated the precepts of the entire Shinto religion!"
"Who is your master?"
"Which temple are you in?"
Snapped!
Pinggong Qianye clasped his hands together in front of his chest and clapped them lightly, creating a gust of wind that slapped the tall priest on the right cheek, causing him to spin several times.
"You, you actually dared to hurt someone!"
After regaining his balance, the tall priest covered his swollen and painful right cheek with one hand, took two steps back in fear, his eyes filled with horror.
Pinggong Qianye calmly stretched out his right hand, "Look, it seems that this distance is out of reach."
"..."
The tall priest's face changed slightly. He wanted to yell something, but was afraid of getting slapped again.
Damn, which temple did this little pervert come from? His palm wind alone is so terrifying!
He glanced furtively at his teammates who were searching the Toad God, secretly thinking about how to calm this evil star.
After all, the Toad God's Demon Pearl is a top-notch treasure, and not every monster can condense a Demon Pearl.
The monsters follow different paths of cultivation, so the things they gather from their monster powers will be different.
It was because of the need for the Toad God to swallow the moon for his own spiritual practice that he condensed a magic bead with a missing corner, and transformed it into a fake moon to attract the power of the moonlight.
"I can't find it. The item has been taken away."
While the tall priest was thinking, the thin priest came over from the corpse of the Toad God, shook his head and whispered in his ear.
There were only three of them at the scene. If the magic bead was not in the Toad God's body, then it must be on the monk opposite!
The tall priest took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Master, since you have subdued the so-called monster in your eyes, can you give us the Toad God Demon Pearl and report back?"
"We in the Golden Light Sect have been nurturing the Toad God for more than 30 years, and we have a deep affection for him. We cannot allow his magic pearl to be exposed to the outside world." The thin priest also added.
"The demon bead is the product of the demonic power of the Moon Swallowing Toad. It is the spoils I got when I subdued the great demon. It has nothing to do with you."
Pinggong Qianye glanced at them indifferently. Behind him, Acala looked extremely angry, glaring at them, with the sword in his right hand raised high, as if he was going to chop them down if they disagreed with him.
To eliminate sins and life.
Even though this demon bead is useless to him, why would he give it to the people of the Golden Light Sect? Wouldn't that allow them to continue to cultivate another evil god?
"But, but the Toad God is the guardian deity of our Golden Light Religion. Its magic pearl should belong to our Golden Light Religion." The tall priest tried to fight for it again.
Pinggong Qianye thought for a moment and said, "I can go with you to the Golden Light Sect. If what you said is true, I will give you this magic bead."
"This is true!"
The tall priest was ecstatic for a moment. Now that he had arrived at the territory of their Golden Light Sect, was he still afraid that he would not be able to get back the Toad God's magic pearl?
"do not want!"
The thin priest turned pale, and he repeatedly pulled the tall priest's arm, lowering his voice and saying urgently: "Don't do that!"
"We must not bring him to our Golden Light Sect. He definitely wants to kill and liberate all the remaining gods in our sect!"
As he said this, the thin priest was trembling all over. He also inadvertently caught a glimpse of the excitement that flashed across the young monk's eyes, and then he roughly understood what the so-called visit meant.
Hey, why did they suddenly react?
Pinggong Qianye was a little surprised. Could it be that his intentions were too obvious?
"You, you!" The tall priest was so frightened that he took a few steps back and was speechless for a moment.
This young monk actually has such a terrible mind!
No, this is definitely not a young monk!
It is very likely that a great monk has achieved success in his cultivation and has regained his youth and is now walking in the world.
"Let's go, let's leave quickly."
Faced with such an evil star who was ready to slaughter their entire sect's gods at any time, the two priests dared not stay any longer.
He didn't even bother to deal with the Toad God's body and left the place in a hurry.
Pinggong Qianye just watched them leave without stopping them.
"You said we had deep feelings for each other, but in the end, they still threw your body away like trash."
Pinggong Qianye glanced at the Moon-Swallowing Toad that was lying on the ground and had recovered to the size of a calf.
"Let me take you the last leg of your journey."
Pinggong Qianye sat cross-legged in front of the corpse of the Moon-Swallowing Toad, closed his eyes and chanted scriptures, drawing the blazing flames on Acala's body to burn the Moon-Swallowing Toad's body.
After about a few minutes, the body of the Moon-Swallowing Toad was burned to ashes by the flames, and not even a trace of ashes was left. They were all blown away by the night wind and scattered among the mountains.
Before leaving, Pinggong Qianye glanced at the barren mountains.
The top of the mountain has been destroyed, and the surrounding plants, birds and animals have been affected by the poisonous smoke of the Moon-Swallowing Toad. Although the poisonous smoke is gradually dissipating, their vitality has been completely destroyed.
After all, it is a big monster, and its magic does have some tricks.
Pinggong Qianye thought about it, then returned to the top of the collapsed mountain, found a huge rock, sat cross-legged on it, put his palms together, and began to recite the "Nirvana Mantra".
May the innocent lives that disappear here tonight be free from all worries and resentments, and be reborn in the Western Paradise.
At this time, the moon in the sky was shining brightly, and a ray of moonlight came from the Tsukimi Shrine, like a Milky Way.
The moonlight gathered in the sky above the mountain top, and then scattered into light spots all over the sky, just like a rain, moistening the world affected by the poisonous smoke.
Good, great good.
Hiramiya Chiya gazed at the Tsukimi Shrine from afar and chanted a Buddhist name.
Whether a person is good or evil, you can get a rough idea of it by looking at his actions.
After reciting the "Nirvana Mantra", Pinggong Qianye did not stand up, but looked up at the sky.
As Yaezakura Jingu said before, the monsters that wanted to eat her used them. This shows that not only this Moon-Swallowing Toad is coveting her, but there are other monsters hiding behind it.
Is it a giant monster that is hidden and hard to find?
Pinggong Qianye thought for a moment, restrained his breath, and placed the Moon-Swallowing Toad Demon Pearl in his arms on a stone not far away.
When fishing, you always have to spread some bait.
Considering the preciousness of this magic bead, the big monster hiding in the dark should be unable to restrain itself, right?
If it can really hold it in, such a character and wisdom cannot be figured out by itself in a short time.
Just be patient and wait to see if any fish will take the bait.
On the other side of the mountain, at Tsukimi Shrine, on the osmanthus tree, Jingu Yaezakura finished her third painting.
"really not bad."
Yaezakura Jingu was very satisfied with her third work.
Under the moonlight, a monk sat cross-legged on a stone, with his palms clasped together, his eyes closed, and his head bowed, reverently chanting scriptures, wishing to use the boundless Buddhist teachings to save all innocent lives suffering from the toxic smoke.
In order to create the beautiful scene in the third painting where Pinggong Qianye recites the "Nirvana Mantra" under the moon, she also specially sent a ray of moonlight.
The moonlight turns into tiny fragments of light, scattering across the entire mountain, adding a sacred atmosphere to the picture.
Now it seems that the effect is very good.
This is another masterpiece worth passing down through the ages.
