Chapter 338 Lotus Blessed Land
'This lotus-eyed bright moon doesn't seem to have anything special about it...'
Fang Qing looked at Lianyan Mingduzi on the stage, who had been refuted by Wu Nengsheng with just a few words and was completely at a loss for words. A hint of disappointment flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"He lacks eloquence, quick wit, and adaptability..."
"It seems they don't have much of the courage to go all in..."
How did he obtain the "certificate of appointment" at Lotus Temple?
"Could it be... that the 'certificate' truly possesses a spirit? Summoned on its own? If so, I'm afraid I'll have to get my hands on that lotus platform and examine it carefully to find out more..."
He now leans towards the idea that there are problems with the Lotus Temple's "certificate of rank," and that it may contain the remnant soul or even the true spirit of a certain Dharma King!
They actively attracted the lotus-eyed bright seed to refine it, in order to achieve a certain degree of 'rebirth by borrowing a body'!
"Lotus-eyed Brightness... You haven't even mastered the Three Treatises and the Five Classics, how can you possibly debate with me?"
At this moment, on the high platform, Wu Nengsheng had already won the final victory, but instead stomped his foot in anger, as if he had been greatly insulted.
Renyan Mingduzi was covered in cold sweat, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare and was now surrounded by disappointed crowds and even monks with ulterior motives...
"No... how can I die here?"
He knelt on the ground in a disheveled state, half of his face blank, one hand already holding a magic knife, aimed at his neck...
Despite his high status, the other half of Du Zi's face was filled with struggle, and the lotus mark on his forehead shimmered with seven-colored light as he continued to struggle!
"Lotus-Eyed Brightness... If you still consider yourself a disciple of Brahma, then obediently submit to the will of the Secret Source..."
"If you escape, you will be a heretic and evil sect that everyone should kill!"
Seeing that Renyan Ming was still struggling, Wuneng Shengduzi immediately shouted.
"I……"
The anger and resentment on Renyan Mingduzi's face gradually dissipated as the magic knife swept across her own neck.
Splash!
Blood gushed forth like a spring, within which lotus flowers bloomed, all draped in pink and emitting an eerie sandalwood fragrance…
raging!
A flame enveloped the corpse of Lotus Eyes Mingduzi, its colors becoming multicolored.
After the flames burned out, there was nothing left on the spot, not even a trace of relics.
Only one pink lotus flower, about the size of a fist, floated in mid-air in the shape of a lotus platform, which was taken into the arms of the incompetent sage.
Seeing this, the monks of Lotus Temple had burning desire in their eyes, but none of them dared to ask for it.
This is not only the authority of the ordination ceremony, but also a tradition of the Dharma assembly and debate that has been in place for countless years!
Those who die debating scriptures, all of it becomes the spoils of the victors!
"Impressive... This debate ritual is so powerful that even a disciple of the highest rank would find it irresistible!"
Fang Qing witnessed the entire process and was equally shocked.
"This is not only a ritual inscribed by the True Lord upon heaven and earth... but also the result of countless debates, the blood of countless monks, and even the lives of ordained monks and Dharma Kings, which were used to complete numerous sacrifices..."
"By now, its power has become exceptionally terrifying..."
At this moment, the abbot of Dorje Monastery said, "Best of three rounds. In this debate between Horse-Headed Vajra Monastery and Lotus Monastery, Horse-Headed Vajra Monastery shall emerge victorious... The offerings to the Great Snow Mountain will be entirely borne by Lotus Monastery..."
The master was smug, his heart filled with revenge as he recalled the monastery's previous predicament. .
"Ah... merciful gurus..."
At this moment, another noble chieftain came running out, stumbling and crawling, and knelt before the many monks of the Horse-Headed Vajra Temple. It was none other than Lord Darchen!
"I have been suffering terribly... It's those evil monks at Lotus Temple who are cursing me with evil witchcraft..."
Lord Darchen looked very fat, like a fat pig, with a necklace of agate and gold around his neck: "But as soon as that evil monk died, I was fine again... This must be the benevolent power of the masters..."
……
Fang Qing was too lazy to watch this farce any longer and returned to the Horse Head Vajra Temple.
Not long after, Wuneng Shengduzi also arrived, kneeling respectfully on the ground, holding a lotus platform in both hands, and handed it to Fang Qing.
If the monks outside saw this scene, countless people would gouge out their own eyes.
The Invincible Venerable, whom they regarded as a god, was kneeling so respectfully before a wandering monk.
Moreover, this wandering monk was the previously taboo, the vanished Yun Dan...
"A plain old 'position certificate'...it seems there's nothing left behind."
Fang Qing picked up the lotus platform. With a slight movement of the Dao Life Pearl within his body, the lotus platform unfolded instantly, shimmering with seven-colored light. Lotus petals drifted down, seemingly about to condense into a lotus seed.
He examined it carefully, then looked at Wu Nengsheng.
Wu Nengsheng immediately knelt down: "Venerable One... our lineages are different, making it difficult to refine the 'Status Certificate'... Moreover, that kapala bowl almost crushed me..."
"Well, it seems you're not cut out for it."
Fang Qing sighed and withdrew the lotus platform: "Furthermore... even after refining two 'Rank Certificates'... it seems I'm still quite a distance from reaching the rank of a Great True Person..."
After Wuneng Shengduzi left, he silently gazed at the lotus platform of the 'proof' and made some different discoveries:
"Huh? This is... a blessed land?"
"Not a secret place, but a true paradise? The ancestors of Lotus Temple must have been incredibly wealthy back then..."
"Furthermore, compared to ordinary blessed lands, which require various blood sacrifices and the trouble of having one's destiny shaken... I possess this 'certificate' lotus platform, which is the key to entering and exiting blessed lands... There is no need for a large commotion."
This obviously has great benefits!
Not only can we seize a blessed land, but we can also gain a stable rear!
As the opening of the Taihuang Heaven drew ever closer, Fang Qing was also planning his escape route.
Building a grotto-heaven is also one of the three burrows of a cunning rabbit.
However, the White Bone Path was not very strong, and could only barely build a secret place. Not only was the place small, but the void barrier was also not very strong.
But a mature blessed land is different!
"A thief never leaves empty-handed. This time, they were just here to make a quick buck from the hidden treasure and then never come back..."
"Lotus Temple isn't far. Now that the only monk has passed away, there's a blessed land left, and the key is still there..."
"The more I think about it, the more tempted I become."
However, Fang Qing remained cautious and secretly consulted a divination: "Minor good fortune?"
"It seems there are indeed some good things in this blessed land? But there might not be too many... It would be good if there were a few Purple Mansion Spiritual Items."
"Fortunately, all I value is the blessed land itself..."
……
night.
The stars in the sky are bright, and a crescent moon casts a cool, clear light.
The light that fell upon the Lotus Temple was quickly obscured by the firelight.
Cries, curses, and the sounds of fierce magical battles echoed from all parts of the temple.
After Rengan Meidoko's death, the original Renkanji Temple immediately erupted into a terrible internal strife.
"Haha... You monks who rose to power by relying on the enemies of the Brahma should be thrown into the dungeon, skinned alive, dismembered, have your eyes gouged out, and have your hearts ripped out..."
A monk, covered in wounds as if he had been severely tortured, was flushed with excitement, and his body was radiating the light of [Well Wood]. He was clearly a Dao Foundation Realm Master!
How many masters can emerge from the monks who have been promoted by Lianyanming within just a few years?
The situation was naturally one-sided. The monks who believed in Lotus Eyes were captured, thrown into dungeons, subjected to various forms of torture, and then made into offerings...
A strong monk broke into what used to be Rengan Meidoko's meditation room, dragging out a group of beautiful young women, including Meidoko herself, and killed them all...
In an instant, blood spread and flowed throughout the entire Lotus Temple.
"Hmm... now that this temple is called 'Blood Lotus Temple'... that's more fitting..."
High in the sky, Fang Qing glanced indifferently at the scene: 'It's just dogs fighting...'
He used the "Hidden Forest" to conceal himself and landed inside the Lotus Temple.
After strolling around for a while, I arrived at an abandoned courtyard and pushed open the wooden door with a creak.
The courtyard was deserted, clearly abandoned for a long time, and no monks lived there.
Fang Qing stood with his hands behind his back, strolling through the overgrown courtyard.
Occasionally, monks carrying torches and with blood-stained knives would pass by, but they seemed blind to the courtyard and the figures inside.
He walked a few more steps and came to a dried-up pond.
This pond should have been filled with clear water and planted with lotus flowers, but now it is completely dry. The silt at the bottom of the pond has dried up and is emitting a foul stench. There are also a few withered branches and fallen leaves nearby...
"Who would have thought... that the entrance to this once blessed land of lotus flowers would be here?"
Fang Qing chuckled and stretched out his right hand.
A lotus platform the size of a fist appeared in his palm, growing larger and radiating a seven-colored glow.
One lotus petal after another fell, spreading a delicate fragrance.
A layer of glazed glass color suddenly covered the ground and spread outwards.
Glug glug!
Sweet spring water has sprung up in the once-dried-up pond, the collapsed buildings around it have been rebuilt, and lotus flowers are blooming one after another on the pond. The green lotus leaves are covered with pearl-like water droplets, seemingly reaching all the way to the sky...
However, despite the occurrence of such an unusual phenomenon, the monks of the entire temple remained completely blind and made no discovery whatsoever.
"Hmm... I did sense a blessed land."
"And... the lotus throne 'certificate' in my hand is indeed the key!"
Fang Qing's divine sense spread out and sensed the invisible portal in the void.
It seemed that the door would open with just a gentle push.
"call……"
He exhaled a long breath, and several plum blossoms fell from his heart, transforming into a hexagram:
"Little Ji..."
"Never mind..."
Fang Qing opened his arms and pushed forward.
Above the sky, the bright moonlight shone down, transforming into a rainbow bridge on the lotus platform.
A seven-colored rainbow bridge surged into the void, instantly opening an invisible door.
"Now that this blessed land has opened, we must quickly enter and then close it again, otherwise it's hard to say how many disciples the Dharma King might ordain..."
With a swift movement, Fang Qing stepped onto the moonlight and the rainbow bridge, entering the invisible doorway.
The next instant, a sky-high interchange!
Tick tock!
It was as if a drop of water had fallen into a pond, and endless lotus leaves, as large as houses, covered the entire blessed land. Not far away, there were also golden lotus flowers that looked like small mountains...
"This is indeed a blessed land of lotus blossoms... Wait a minute!"
Fang Qing's expression changed: "Was I not cautious enough? In the past, I would have sent my disciples, such as Wuneng Shengduzi..."
He couldn't help but reflect on when he had become so short-sighted and reckless.
When he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, he foresaw the danger of a fourth-order demonic beast, but managed to escape danger through divination.
Or does it enter the esoteric realm and be subtly influenced by the invisible esoteric source?
"Haha...heretical!"
"I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
At that moment, on a golden lotus platform, a Dharma King sitting cross-legged looked over, his face filled with great joy and liberation.
Fang Qing's pupils contracted slightly!
He recognized the man! It was none other than the Venerable Mara, the mid-stage Dharma King of the Wuxiang Temple!
