Dragon Seeker

Old Master Diao and Master Qi had never seen Cang Yao, but after following us for so long, they could still tell whether it was a human or a ghost. They were so frightened that Master Qi jumped up and almost hung on Old Bai. Old Bai slapped him to the side, and finally Brother Yao spoke to comfort them, and they calmed down a little.

I didn't have time to deal with these two people. Instead, I looked back and forth between the red-haired arm and Cang Yao.

Unless my life was in danger, Cang Yao would not show up. It suddenly showed up at this time, which must be because this arm was unusual.

Unfortunately, I couldn't see the way, and seeing that she was reluctant to say anything, I approached her and asked.

"Lend me your knife!"

Cang Yao looked at Brother Yaozi, who hesitated for a moment before handing her the short knife. Then, she asked me to awaken the Tianguan Blade and handed her the Baipi Knife. Holding a knife in each hand, she walked to the red-haired arm and first used Brother Yaozi's knife to cut the arm hard. As a result, when the blade pressed on it, it was clear that the flesh was still elastic, but when it was cut, sparks flew everywhere, and the arm was not hurt at all.

Cang Yao raised her eyebrows and cut it with the Baipi Knife again. This time, she finally cut a hole, and black blood flowed out at that time. The most terrifying thing was that the arm obviously twitched a few times.

"Oh my god, this arm is still alive?"

Lao Bai was shocked.

Cang Yao raised his eyebrows, looking as if it was just as expected.

I asked again: "Did you find anything?"

Cang Yao returned the Baipi Knife to me, frowned slightly, stared at the arm for a while, and asked Lao Bai for a flashlight. She shone it from the side, and saw the hair on the arm glittering with golden light. She sighed and said: "If I say this, it is called Buddha's words. If I don't say it this way, it is Bo Xun's words."

This is a Buddhist saying.

The general meaning is that if you do this, you can achieve the right result. If you don't do this, you will become the demon king Bo Xun.

The demon king Bo Xun is the Lord of the Six Brahmas. It is said that he built a temple, received precepts, and offered alms to Pratyekabuddhas in his previous life, so he has great supernatural powers in this life and became a great demon king. Because he was afraid that Buddha would weaken the dark forces, he fought a fierce battle with Buddha under the Bodhi tree. In the end, his head was beaten into a dog's head. He was forced to convert to Buddhism and became the head of the Desire Realm, the Heaven of Change and Freedom. He has a set of perverse theories.

However, I don't quite understand what Cang Yao meant by this sentence.

Cang Yao didn't explain much, sighed softly, called Yin Nu, and whispered: "Slave, tell them, they don't know what they have encountered yet."

"Demon corpse?"

Yin Nu asked tentatively, and when Cang Yao nodded, he said to us: "Before the master was suppressed by the heavenly official, we often went out. Probably in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, we passed by a place and encountered a strange thing."

It said that it was a small village in the north. The locals said that a Buddha came there and asked them to build a temple and worship it. In addition, there must be not only three animal sacrifices every year, but also blood food.

The so-called blood food is human blood.

In front of the temple, there is a big vat. When people in the village pass by the big vat, everyone must put a small bowl of blood out and pour it into the big vat.

Moreover, it must be worshipped at night.

If they did so, Buddha would bless them with peace and keep them from being disturbed by war.

After the villagers did so, when the princes recruited soldiers in all directions, a large number of young and strong men were taken away from several surrounding villages, but not from their village.

After hearing about this, Cang Yao was very curious. Although she was from Yin, she had always been deliberately understanding the outside world and was familiar with Buddha. How could Buddha enjoy blood? This must be a crooked way.

So she went to investigate, and sure enough, in the temple, a red-haired monster was sitting cross-legged on it, drinking blood from a bowl.

"A red-faced monster with fangs drinking blood, that scene is weird just thinking about it."

Yin Nu said: "But that guy gave people a feeling of solemnity, as if he was really a Buddha. When he saw the master, he thought the master was here to compete with him for territory, so a big fight was inevitable. But at that time, the master was at his peak, so how could he be afraid of it? After dealing with that thing, the master gradually saw the clues, that was simply an evil corpse becoming a Buddha!"

Brother Yaozi laughed and said: "How can an evil corpse become a Buddha? Can it read Buddhist teachings? Isn't it afraid of chanting to death?"

"That's right, this was also what my master and I thought at the time. In order to get this answer, my master even detained some wandering Taoists and wandering monks. After several inquiries, we finally got some clues!"

Yin Nu said: "Of course, the evil corpse can't read the proper Buddhist teachings, but it can read the heresy of the demon king Po Xun and cultivate into an evil Buddha! Because in Buddhist language, Mara means devil, so the master calls this weird evil corpse a Mara corpse!"

"It's not easy to become a Mara corpse. First of all, the evil corpse must have intelligence. Secondly, it must really be devoted to Buddhism. However, the Buddha it is devoted to is the Buddha in the mouth of the demon king Po Xun, which is a thousand miles away from the proper Buddhism."

Cang Yao sighed lightly, pointed at the arm and said: "This should be a Mara corpse. The biggest feature of the evil corpse becoming a Buddha is the golden body, which will become infinitely powerful, much more powerful than any golden armor bronze corpse. I have fought with it. This weird evil corpse is even three times more powerful than the incorruptible bone!"

Let's not talk about whether it is powerful or not...

But I have a huge question in my heart, and whispered: "Did you recognize the wrong one?"

This evil corpse jumped out at the last moment. I think it is most likely the general in the main tomb.

Regardless of whether it is that general or not, it is good that this evil corpse belongs to this tomb, right? But this tomb is the tomb of Donghu!

Donghu was destroyed by Maodun Chanyu. The exact time of destruction is unknown, but Maodun died in 174 BC. Donghu must have been destroyed before that. At that time, China was in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty!

Then, the question is, as we all know, Buddhism was introduced to China during the reign of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the second emperor!

How could Donghu come into contact with Buddhism? A demon corpse jumped out of the tomb?

"I don't know about that..."

Cang Yao shook his head: "But I am sure that this is the corpse of Mara..."

"What's the point of exploring these?"

Lao Bai said: "The northern nomadic peoples have a strong desire to explore the world. After Maodun defeated the Yuezhi, didn't some of the Yuezhi people flee to India? This shows that the northern nomadic peoples at that time had a certain connection with India. Preaching is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Maybe a small number of people at that time were exposed to Buddhism and became believers? For example, the one in the main tomb..."

After saying this, he showed a very bright smile to Cang Yao: "Right, big sister?"

Cang Yao glanced at him and ignored him, but the meaning in her eyes was very clear. She was just short of saying directly that when I was making great efforts, your ancestors didn't know where to play with urine in the mud. How dare you call me big sister?

Lao Bai was frustrated, smiled awkwardly, and kept silent.

Cang Yao squatted down and continued to observe the arm. Her eyes fell on the broken end. The cut surface there was smooth, just like ice and snow under the sun, constantly melting.

"Awesome!"

She shook her head and said softly: "It seems that this Luo Chenzi you are talking about is very powerful. This sword not only cut off its arm, but also left an evil curse on it, corroding its body. Maybe he also saw that the most powerful thing about the demon corpse is this indestructible body, so he must directly destroy the opponent's foundation."

After speaking, she stood up: "This demon corpse should be your most difficult enemy. No wonder the red wind is blowing around. It must be attracted by this thing. Now is the best opportunity to get rid of it. It is seriously injured and must be hiding to contain the evil curse. You must chase it and kill it. You can't delay for a moment, otherwise, you can never deal with this demon corpse with just a few people."

Lao Bai said that at worst, he would ask for the Zhenwu flag again.

Cang Yao looked at him as if he was an idiot.

Brother Yaozi said embarrassedly, my master said that the heroic spirits in the Zhenwu Banner are different from ordinary ghosts. Their power comes from offerings. Every time they are used, they need to be offered for a period of time. Now we are afraid that we can no longer invite them.

I think the reason why the old fox is willing to sit down and talk is probably because he sees the power of the Zhenwu Banner. Otherwise, it would have sent the demon corpse to kill us long ago.

After hearing this, Lao Bai was shocked and said, "What are you waiting for? Waiting to die! Grab your weapons and go to the tomb."

Brother Yaozi hesitated for a moment, but looked at me instead.

I know he is worried about my condition, but after using the resurrection grass given to me by the fourteenth ancestor, I am in a much better condition now, basically no problem, and looked at the sky, and said, "Don't go to the tomb if you are afraid of ghosts, and don't be afraid of ghosts if you go to the tomb. At this time, we can't choose the time, let's do it!"

After saying that, I leaned in front of the crack and took a look.

This crack is just above the burial pit. I suspect that the demon corpse is hiding in the burial pit. This is also the most important part of the old fox's layout. The goal is the same, but this crack is very deep, about 20 to 30 meters, and it is dark below, and I can't see the specific situation clearly.

So, I thought about it, and asked Brother Yaozi to put down the rope and climb down first...
