Chapter 18: Fearless Bodhisattva, Savory Buddha Sacrifice
"Another strange thing?" The fellow villager cleared his throat. "It's still in Dongling Village. It is said that every once in a while, the ancestral hall will be brightly lit and there will be faint voices. It seems that some kind of sacrifice is being held."
"I have no evidence, and I am afraid of troubling you, so after thinking it over, I decided to report it to you."
"I understand. You go back first, and I will send someone to track him down." Xu Yang said after a little thought.
The two village chiefs left the body behind and drove away in the carriage.
On the way, the two villagers were discussing with each other.
"The Taoist priest has become more and more scary recently. Do you feel it?"
The middle-aged Xiangzheng nodded in agreement and said, "It is indeed a bit scary, just like the Taoist Changming back then."
Having said that, they quite like the current Taoist priest. He is not a troublemaker and doesn't talk much.
The morgue of Yizhuang.
Xu Yang fed the zombies one by one.
He walked up to the coffins of Mr. Ren and the dwarf, opened the coffins, and black gas came out.
Unlike other quick-made zombies, these two have the qualifications to become permanent Taoist soldiers and can live for dozens or even hundreds of years.
He took out a carving knife and cinnabar from his Qiankun bag, ready to carve six runes on the zombie's body.
When all six rune totems are painted, it is estimated that the combat power of the two zombies is equivalent to that of Zhenqi. In this way, Yizhuang is equivalent to having three Zhenqi masters.
At the same time, Xu Yang released the locust wood ghost.
"Owner!!"
"Go to Dongling Village to find out the news about the lame village chief. If you find any news, report it immediately. There must be no mistakes."
"As ordered!"
Wow! !
The ghost rolled up a black wind and disappeared.
Xu Yang immersed himself in engraving the totem. After breaking through the realm, he became much more proficient in it.
In the next few days, Xu Yang practiced and engraved totems, and also mindlessly trained zombies.
He did some calculations. The cost of a zombie was thirty taels, and the market price was thirty-five taels. If the cost could be reduced to twenty-five taels, or if a totem was added and sold for forty taels, the profit would be ten taels, which would be equivalent to offsetting the blood money for feeding a zombie.
Even if he neither makes nor loses money, he has gained proficiency for free. For Xu Yang, it is a matter of making money but not losing anything.
At night, at the foot of the mountain where the water flows, a village of more than a thousand people gathers here.
Dongling Village is one of the 15 villages in the two townships. This village has always been poor. There is not much land and the people rely on the mountains for their livelihood. Many people have been left disabled by wild beasts and poisonous insects.
At night, the door of Dongling Ancestral Hall was closed, and there were faint lights of fire and the sounds of human chanting inside. From time to time, people sneaked in here.
On the treetops, translucent figures slowly gathered, and their green eyes looked at the closed door of the ancestral hall.
This should be something that the master asked me to pay attention to.
Then, the locust wood ghost disappeared.
In the ancestral hall, when the sun set, Xu Yang began his day of practice until the locust wood ghost came to report.
"Notify the two township chiefs to wait for me in Dongling Village!"
Xu Yang got up and walked to the morgue, opened the zombie's coffin, and with a wave of his hand, a suction force came from the Qiankun bag, which sucked the zombie into it, and the Qiankun bag was filled to the brim.
"Little devil, Erlang, you guys stay at home!"
Wow! !
Xu Yang jumped out of the high wall and disappeared into the dense forest.
The entrance of Dongling Village.
The night was cold and everything was quiet.
Under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, two villagers were shivering with cold. The cold was one thing, but what made them shiver was the ghost floating in the void in front of them.
I was sleeping soundly at home when I was suddenly woken up by a ghost. If the ghost hadn't said that it was sent by the Taoist priest, it would have been really scary. Even so, the fellow still felt a wetness in his crotch.
Whoosh! ! Another black shadow flashed, and leaves fell straight down.
"Oh my god!" The two hugged each other in fear. When they looked carefully, they found that it was Xu Yang.
"If there is any emergency later, I hope you two can maintain order." Xu Yang said straight to the point.
"sure."
…………
", ban zha, sada howl!"
In the Dongling Ancestral Hall, all the tablets of the gods were destroyed and turned into ashes in the fire.
The bright red firelight illuminated everyone's red faces. In front of the fire there was a low-legged altar covered with eight-colored cloth, with earthenware plates filled with barley, ghee, mare's milk, and bran cakes, a skull bowl in the middle filled with blood, and skull candles on the side.
Next to the fire was the body of a young woman. The body was headless, the chest was ripped open, and the heart was nowhere to be found.
Lame Chen San led all the men, women, old and young to kneel down in front of the bonfire and recite scriptures devoutly.
The young female corpse was his daughter. The Fire Buddha restored him to normal, and as a thank you, he sacrificed his daughter to the Fire Buddha.
Sitting in the direction where everyone was kneeling, there was a man wearing a purple monk's robe that reached his ankles. His skin was dark with bright red lines painted on it, and he was very tall, about two meters.
"May the fearless bodhisattva master be merciful, and may he be illuminated by infinite fire and light!"
While chanting the sutras, everyone did not forget to thank this barbarian Buddha.
Fearless Bodhisattva looked at these people with great satisfaction. When he went down the mountain for the first time, he chose to save the sentient beings here.
"Next, use this as a base and gradually move up to the upper levels. It would be best if we could subdue the Fire Elephant Nation's demon."
The Fire Buddha comes from hell to save all sentient beings in the world. As disciples of the Fire Wheel Buddha, their ideal is to subdue demons and save all living beings, and the stronger the people they save, the better.
"Chen San, which Taoist priest is in charge of this place?" said Wuweisattva.
Chen San stepped forward and knelt down. Speaking of the Taoist priest, a trace of fear flashed in Chen San's eyes.
"Reporting to the master, it is a Taoist priest named Xu Yang who drives corpses. This person..." Speaking of this person, Chen San trembled, obviously thinking of the consequences of being discovered, "This person is cruel and brutal. He once killed 100 people in the Ren family in one night."
"Don't be afraid. I came to this world to save this demon." The appearance of Fearless Bodhisattva is solemn and majestic.
This is true. The Fire Buddha's secret method is extremely contagious. Just a little bit of it will lead to your enlightenment without anyone noticing.
Chen San became more confident. The master had great powers, so why should he be afraid of him?
boom! !
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was kicked open.
The lively atmosphere suddenly died down.
Everyone looked outside the door, where stood an evil Taoist priest with a half-smile on his face, and behind him stood two village chiefs.
"It's quite lively here. It turns out it's you, the bald donkey, who's causing all the trouble." Xu Yang said with a smile.
He doesn't care about other places. This is the territory of the charity cemetery. The villagers' weddings and funerals, and even their bodies after death, are theirs. How could he possibly allow someone to poach them?
Abhidharmakosha remained indifferent. He looked at Xu Yang from a distance and then he knew who this was.
"Third brother, what are you doing? How dare you offer sacrifice to the evil god? Why don't you surrender quickly and help us capture the monster!!"
The fellow villager was shouting loudly, relying on Xu Yang being in front.
As the fellow villager spoke, these fanatical villagers suddenly calmed down a lot. Some of them even avoided looking and prepared to retreat.
"Don't be afraid!!" Wuwei's voice was calm and composed.
The crowd started to make noise again, and men, women, old and young stood in front of Wuwei.
"Master healed us, what did you do?"
"Yes, if you want to capture the master, you have to step over our dead bodies first!!"
"Yes!! Add me in!"
Everyone was talking about it.
"One more step forward and you'll die!"
Xu Yang put away his smile and spoke coldly, with murderous intent in his words. A cold wind blew in the room and the campfire flickered.
Chen San insisted on going all the way to the end. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be afraid. We are in large numbers. The law cannot punish the masses. Xu Yang cannot bear the responsibility!! Drive them out!"
After saying that, he led everyone to pick up benches and chairs and attack. Avalokitesvara made a strange seal, and no one knew what kind of magic it was. Everyone's face flushed and they were very courageous.
Wow! !
Without further ado, Xu Yang waved his hand and a gust of cold wind blew.
Ten zombies emerged like tigers out of a cage. Old Man Ren stabbed Chen San's shoulders with both hands and tore them apart with force.
Wow! !
Chen San was torn into two halves, blood spilled all over the ground, and he was unable to react before he died.
Fearless Sattva's face was solemn. He had never thought that this person could control so many zombies. Moreover, Xu Yang had not made a move yet, so he didn't know how strong he was.
Xu Yang never indulged this group of people. Since they had provoked him and were still stubborn, whether they were bewitched or did it intentionally, they would have to pay the price with blood.
Ten zombies rushed into the crowd and the killing began.
