Chapter 164 The Correct Use of Infinite Merit
Huanghua Mountain.
Three people from the Jinling Sect and the seven sisters from the Pansi Cave met with the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord together.
Although the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord is a demon, he is devoted to Taoism and usually dresses as a Taoist priest.
He has a handsome appearance, a face as hard as iron, eyes as bright as stars, without any trace of demon, looking completely like a Taoist from outside the world.
This demon has reached the state of great perfection in spiritual transformation, and its demon body has already reached the highest level of transformation.
At this time, Huanghua Temple had not yet been built, and the Hundred-Eyed Demon King only built a thatched hut in the mountains and lived in seclusion in a low-key manner.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord and Wen Rui are also old acquaintances. The fairy dates he grows in Huanghua Mountain are of good quality, but unfortunately the yield is not high. It is a hot-selling product that the Chamber of Commerce purchases at a high price in unlimited quantities.
In addition, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord is also a master in refining pills and poisons, and the pills and poisons he sells to Wen Rui are also of good quality.
The poison he made would kill immortals within three grams of it if they ate it.
Considering their origins, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord and Wen Rui can be considered as half-fellow teachers and brothers.
The master of him and the seven demons of Pansi Cave was an unknown insect demon fairy from Jiejiao. The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation never returned, leaving behind these eight disciples.
Because he has been taught the true Dharma by the Jiejiao, the Hundred-Eyed Demon King does not harm mortals. His ambition in this life is to seek enlightenment, become an immortal, and live forever.
More than a thousand years later, when he met Tang Seng and his three disciples, he was also polite. If he was not venting his anger for his fellow sisters, he would have only welcomed and seen off the four masters and disciples as guests and would never have poisoned them.
Others do not know the background of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, but the Mother of Lishan knows it best.
During the Journey to the West plot, the Mother of Lishan, who had been completely brainwashed by the Western religion, did not care about the feelings of being a fellow religionist, but instead instructed Sun Wukong to go to Ziyun Mountain to seek help from the Bodhisattva Vimala, who helped Sun Wukong defeat him.
Otherwise, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord could bring Journey to the West to an early finale.
Wen Rui explained his intention to him. The Hundred Eyes Demon Lord hesitated for a moment but did not agree. He frowned and said, "Brother Wen, since our master died, my fellow apprentice sisters and I have lived in seclusion, focusing on seeking the truth and not causing trouble. We really don't want to be involved in karma."
He smiled bitterly and said, "Look, I have started to worship the Three Pure Ones. I am also very friendly when I meet the disciples of the Western Sect. We cannot defeat the Chan Sect and the Western Sect, so we should keep a low profile. Besides, you are a human race, why are you setting up a demon alliance? Sooner or later, you will cause a disaster."
Wen Rui could understand the mentality of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord. The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was defeated miserably, and all the members of the Jie Religion from the leader down had lost their spirit. Not to mention seeking revenge, they didn't even dare to show off.
"Brother Baiyan, this is wrong."
Wen Rui advised, "Do you think you won't get into trouble if you keep a low profile? If you don't get into trouble, it will get you. A demon fairy like you with a shallow foundation is a good material for disaster. If there are any more disasters to be dealt with by the Heavenly Court and the Western Religion in the future, you will still be forced to fill the gap and join the eighty-one difficulties."
"The only way to avoid disaster is to stick together and do something great that will move the heavens."
These words made the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord lower his head in thought.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord thought for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Wen, I can tell that what you said is also sincere and good advice. Brother, I do feel that I have a vague feeling that my future in the pursuit of immortality is bleak. But it is better to survive for a few years than to stand out and be exterminated by the Heavenly Court."
"Brother, you are not unreasonable. How can appeasement, compromise, and living in disgrace guarantee long-term peace? Having said that, neither of us can convince the other."
Wen Rui scratched his head and said, "How about this, according to the rules of the demon tribe, I will fight with you and decide the winner. If I win by chance, you will listen to my arrangements. How do you think?"
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord was stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Wen, you know my abilities. Even though I haven't become an immortal yet, my innate magical powers are something that even immortals would be afraid of. How dare you, a mere mortal, challenge me? I'm afraid I won't be able to stop myself and accidentally kill you."
"It is because I know the mysteries of your magical power that I am more confident in defeating you." Wen Rui also laughed and said, "This fight has also taught me that although your magical power is sharp, it is not without restraint. In the future, don't rely on your magical power to do whatever you want, otherwise you will die at the hands of your natural enemy."
The main chest gun of the Demon God General's colonial armor adopted some of the genes of the Hundred Eyes under the ribs of the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord. Wen Rui's understanding of his magical powers is probably deeper than his own.
In later generations, Sun Wukong had to ask for help from others to break the magical power of creation, but Wen Rui had already figured out a way to restrain it.
This is the power of knowledge, omniscience means omnipotence.
Including the several spider spirits in the Panshi Cave, their spider silk magic that made it easy for them to capture the Golden Body Immortal, Wen Rui could also easily crack it. Just one drop of biologically active enzyme and detoxifying serum was enough to melt the spider web and eliminate the spider venom.
"In that case, let's do it."
The Hundred Eyes Demon Lord nodded and agreed: "If I, with my cultivation in the Spiritualization Stage, am defeated by a mere mortal like you, then that is my fate. I am sure that I will be doomed in the future. What should I be afraid of if I join you in overthrowing the Heavenly Gang?"
The man and the demon walked out of the cave, found an open space in the woods, and set out to fight.
Wen Ruinan put on Iron Man and said to He Lingyun who followed him: "Junior sister, lend me your 'Demon Protection Sword' for a while."
"Senior Brother, with your cultivation level in the Qi Refining Stage, can you steer a sword?" He Lingyun asked in surprise, but without hesitation, he handed over the Demon-Protecting Sword while speaking.
"You don't know this, right? This sword is not just a flying sword, it's also a Buddhist treasure of merit."
Wen Rui explained to her, "When you wield this sword, you use the sword control method, which consumes spiritual energy. When I wield this sword, I use the spiritual power method taught by the Western religion, which consumes merit."
"My immeasurable merits are trillions of times greater than your tiny spiritual energy. This sword in your hands is like a pearl thrown into the dark, a treasure covered in dust. If I didn't feel sorry for you not having a good sword, I wouldn't be willing to give it to you."
"Eh?"
He Lingyun was stunned. Ever since she got the "Demon-Protecting Sword", she had a bit of an inflated mentality, thinking that she was invincible against people of the same level and could easily challenge people of higher levels.
After hearing what her senior brother said, she realized that she was trapped in a well again.
At the same time, he was quite touched. Such a good treasure was given to him to use even though his senior brother obviously had a more powerful one.
The glazed sword flew in front of Wen Rui, as if it had returned to the hands of its real owner, and the glazed light became even more dazzling.
When Wen Rui thought about it, the control was as smooth as usual, and there was no sign at all that he was just an ordinary person controlling the flying sword.
This is the special feature of the treasure of merit.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord originally had a look of disdain on his face, with an arrogant attitude that showed he didn't want to bully mortals, but when he saw Wen Rui raising the "Demon Protection Sword", his expression became serious.
Even a blind man could see the terrifying power contained in the glazed sword. Under the blessing of unknown immense merits, the Buddha's power was as vast as the ocean.
"Brother Wen, what good things have you done over the years?"
He couldn't help but ask in surprise: "How did you create such a great merit?"
Wen Rui lost no time in persuading him, "So, it's definitely right to follow me. When it comes to accumulating merits and virtues, who has more experience than me in the three realms?"
