Chapter 234: Secret Secret of Tantric Buddhism, is that all?
The Seven Killing Demon Palace is located halfway up a mountain deep in the Changbai Mountains, surrounded by a crater.
Due to the existence of underground fire.
Even though the Changbai Mountains are covered with snow all year round, it is spring here all year round.
I'm afraid no one could have imagined that the residence of the Black Mountain Old Demon, the number one demon in the world, would be a fairyland full of flowers.
On the other hand, in addition to the hot springs, exotic flowers and plants, the architecture inside the Demon Palace also has the charm of southeastern garden scenery.
They are lined up in an orderly manner, corresponding to the stars in the sky, forming a strange formation and absorbing the star's brilliance.
As a result, there are countless demons and monsters in the Demon Palace.
It is definitely a demon country in the mountains.
These monsters, influenced by the Black Mountain Old Monster, have some human civilization and order, and many of them are literate, and some even wear Confucian clothes.
Their transformation is incomplete, and at first glance they look like half human, half beast, but when they wear Confucian clothes and read Confucian scriptures, they look quite realistic.
In addition, there are monsters dressed as Taoist priests and monks.
Outside a courtyard in the Demon Palace, a demon servant said, "Shanzhi, the master has ordered that if you can carry this man's head back to Changbai Mountain, the master will give you freedom."
A portrait floated into the yard.
Soon, the door opened.
A monk dressed as a Tantric Lama came out stepping on two giant snakes.
The demon servant quickly dodged.
The lama was seen stepping on the giant snake, as if he was stepping on two huge sleds, and soon the snake disappeared from his sight.
Where the lama had just passed, there was a terrifying release of masculine energy as fierce as a furnace, which actually burned all the exotic flowers and plants passing by.
The demon servant could not help but be frightened. "The master said that the superior mental methods of Tantra are Yoga Tantra, Incomparable Yoga Tantra and Supreme Yoga Tantra. Things like Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu and Flame Kungfu are all inferior martial arts for protecting the way. Shanzhi practices Flame Kungfu, why does it look so scary?"
It didn't know that Shanzhi was a rare person in Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. With the help of his flame skills, he realized the highest Buddhist Dharma of Tantric Buddhism. By sensing the energy of the Earth Fire Heaven Gang in the Seven Killing Demon Palace, he realized and cultivated the Red Sun Dharma left by a Tantric Dharma King in the last years of the previous dynasty.
Now he has reached the level of a martial arts master.
In fact, although the Black Mountain Demon is a god-like existence in Changbai Mountain, he does not have much influence in the grasslands, the Western Regions, Tibet and other barbaric places.
Shanzhi left Tubo, traveled to the Western Regions and grasslands, all the way to Changbai Mountain, and defeated many masters, but never found the opportunity to become a master.
When he arrived at the foot of Changbai Mountain, he was unaware of the depth of the mountain and rashly preached the teachings of Tantric Buddhism, which attracted the attention of the Three Corpses of the Black Mountain Old Demon. The old demon then used the Xuanyin Gangsha to transform into a giant hand, took him up the mountain, and studied the secrets of Tantric practice.
And he made him into a decoration for the demon servants in the mountains to see.
Afterwards, the old demon got tired of playing and wanted to let Shanzhi go.
Shanzhi was insulted and trapped himself here, vowing not to leave the Seven Killing Demon Palace until he defeated the Black Mountain Demon.
But things change over time. After Shanzhi breaks through to the level of martial arts master in the Demon Palace, he regrets and wants to go down the mountain. So he challenges the Black Mountain Old Demon several times, but is defeated by him every time. He can only continue to be trapped in the Demon Palace according to his oath.
Now the Black Mountain Demon gave Shanzhi an opportunity, and Shanzhi immediately went down the mountain.
Moreover, he has now mastered the Red Sun Technique, and his blood and energy are as blazing as the scorching sun. In this vast world, apart from the old demon, there are only a few legendary martial saints who can make him leave without a fight.
In fact, Shanzhi had another wish in his heart, which was to return to the Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, become the Dharma King who protects the religion, and control the secular power of Tibet.
This was also the important reason why he was unwilling to stay in the Seven Killing Demon Palace after becoming a martial arts master.
For Shanzhi, it is not enough to comprehend the Dharma, he also has to verify the Dharma by controlling secular power.
This is also the Tibetan concept of the integration of politics and religion.
...
...
Since arriving in Liaodong, Mr. Wu has followed Xu Qing's advice and adopted a strategy of defending and fighting. Old Wu is very good at employing people and has the support of the Ministry of Works.
During this period, they built weapons, repaired castles, sent troops to guard the fortresses, and supported each other. With the support of sea-borne food, they called in refugees and calmed people's hearts. For a time, the situation in Liaodong was greatly stabilized.
Therefore, Lord Wu was successfully promoted to the governor of Liaodong, only half a step away from the position of governor.
The current governor of Liaodong is Wang Huazhen, a relative of the Minister of Personnel Wang Gong.
Naturally, Lord Wu and Wang Huazhen have some conflicts in their stances.
This time, the newly appointed Liaodong General Shi Song was eager for merit, so he took the initiative to attack and defeated the Gongtu tribe under the Golden Horde on the grassland outside the Liaoxi Great Wall.
This incident made Lord Wu very angry.
Because the Gongtu tribe had actually agreed to surrender under the inducement of Lord Wu with the benefits of mutual trade. Shi Song was not unaware of this, but in order to force himself to gain merit, he took the initiative to attack the defenseless Gongtu tribe.
This move greatly damaged Lord Wu's credibility on the grassland.
In addition, it also attracted the common hatred of the various tribes on the grassland.
Now, at the order of the Golden Horde on the grassland, the Chaha tribe, led by the Chaha tribe, took over the remaining forces of the Gongtu tribe and took revenge.
Outside Dasheng Fort, they defeated the Yu army, slaughtered many civilians and looted their property.
This caused further damage to Liaodong's already poor population and property.
In addition, the grassland tribes and the Jurchens, who had become increasingly powerful in recent years, began to attack Liaodong from two directions.
Lord Wu had no choice but to lead his troops to support Dashengbao. Otherwise, the grassland people would use Dashengbao as a fulcrum and make the situation in Liaodong even worse.
...
...
Jinguan Fort.
Lord Wu entered the fort to rest. This was the fort closest to Dasheng Fort.
At night, in the inn of Jinguanbao.
Although Lord Wu was in a solid fortress, he still felt the tense atmosphere around him as if a storm was about to come.
When midnight came, he still could not sleep peacefully. He could not hear any sound of people or cattle or horses outside the inn.
The dim light of lanterns could be seen faintly from outside, and before he knew it, he was filled with a sense of terror.
He quickly called his aide, Master Qian, to play chess with him.
Old Qian has now been promoted to the chief of the Liaodong Jinglüe's staff. It can be said that he has reached the ceiling in the field of advisors. When Lord Wu is promoted again, he will ask for grace, and before he gets old, he may even be able to become a Bailihou.
Because he had a bright future at stake, although Old Qian was very sleepy, he still forced himself to play chess with Master Wu.
Perhaps because of playing chess, Mr. Wu felt a lot less nervous.
The fort was strong and had a large army stationed there.
Mr. Wu thought he was still as strong as a rock.
What's more, there are Han Tai, Lei Juren and others sent by Xu Qing for protection. Although these people are not practitioners of dirty martial arts, they are in the military camp and rely on their numbers. The fort is heavily guarded, and even the top practitioners of dirty martial arts cannot sneak in.
He may be overly pessimistic.
At this moment, Mr. Wu couldn't help but miss Gongming.
With Gongming around, he wouldn't feel anything even if the other side had an army of 100,000.
Now, even with the combined strength of all the tribes on the grassland, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, which makes him very scared.
Mr. Wu hated Shi Song, the general of Liaodong, to the extreme.
This loser actually watched Dasheng Fort fall, and disappeared after the defeat, forcing him to clean up the mess. Wu Jinglüe had no choice, because as the governor of Liaodong, he had the responsibility to defend the territory.
Moreover, if he does not come to support and the situation in Liaodong deteriorates, all the blame will be put on him.
Although Lord Wu is afraid of death, under the influence of Xu Qing, he also knows the importance of putting the overall situation first.
The most important thing is that Xu Qing and his team are on the way. He estimated that as long as he can hold on for a while, Gong Ming will come to rescue him.
With Gongming around, these grassland tribes deserve all the credit.
Lord Wu and Master Qian were fighting fiercely.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of fighting outside.
In the quiet night, it seems particularly abrupt.
"My lord, please hurry up." Han Tai rushed into the inn and carried Lord Wu on his back without saying a word.
He explained as he walked with Lord Wu on his back.
A terrifying existence at the level of a martial arts master sneaked into the fortress in the middle of the night, opened the city gate from the inside, and attracted the army of the grassland tribe.
This night attack was very sudden, and with a martial arts master taking action, a crushing defeat was inevitable.
Moreover, the martial arts master has two terrifying giant snakes under his command. They can spit out poisonous mist, are extremely fast, and are not afraid of ordinary bows and arrows, swords and guns.
In an emergency, Han Tai and Lei Juren gathered dozens of cavalrymen to escort Lord Wu towards the interior of the country.
They knew that their fame, wealth and honor all depended on Lord Wu.
Even if the soldiers and supplies they brought this time were lost, they could still be reassembled and trained, but if anything happened to Lord Wu, even their lives would not be enough to compensate.
Dozens of riders were running very fast.
We were already far away from Jinguanbao.
Suddenly, half of the bright moonlight disappeared.
A ball of darkness enveloped Lord Wu and others.
They were in darkness, and suddenly they saw a foreign monk appear in the moonlight in front of them. He was so bright that he could steal the moon's light. He was stepping on two giant snakes and had an evil temperament that looked down on all living beings.
"I only want this lord's head. It's not easy for you warriors to practice. Don't make fearless sacrifices. Go aside."
He sneaked into the fortress in the middle of the night, opened the city gate, and fought a fierce battle in the chaotic army. At this moment, after catching up with Lord Wu and his party, he still seemed calm and composed.
"Evil monk, do you know who my master is? He is the mentor of Wenquxing. If you know what's good for you, leave quickly." Han Tai shouted.
The foreign monk smiled in an unfathomable way, "I know exactly what you are afraid of. I am not a person who likes killing. If you insist on doing what you want, I can only perform a ritual for you."
Han Tai was terrified, and whispered to Lord Wu, "Sir, I will use my secret method to hold him back for a while, you and Lord Lei and the others can escape quickly."
"Guard Han." Lord Wu couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
Han Tai: "The world can do without Tai, but it cannot do without you. Please tell the young master when you go back that I can no longer serve him."
He roared, and his muscles exploded. Each muscle was stretched to the extreme, and his muscles were filled with blood and energy, and his whole body swelled up.
Under the escort of Mr. Lei, Lord Wu turned around and rode away on his horse, not daring to look back.
The foreign monk shook his head.
The two giant snakes were like two whips, striking the earth.
The horses under Lord Wu's command were frightened and turned back.
Han Tai was so angry that his eyes burst into tears. He raised his spear and rushed towards the foreign monk.
The foreign monk made seals with his hands.
A huge burst of energy and blood, the air in the void seemed to be sucked into a vortex, forming a thick air shield in front of him.
Han Tai raised his spear, and with the extreme burst of qi and blood, he almost had the destructive power of a martial artist's full-scale attack, but at this moment, he had difficulty moving forward.
The wind whistled in his ears and his whole body felt as if it was being pricked by needles.
Han Tai tried his best and the spear finally pierced the foreign monk's chest.
But there is no possibility of moving forward at all.
The foreign monk smiled indifferently and clapped his palms on the spear.
The spear head made of fine steel was visibly deformed. The horrible heat was transmitted through the spear head, causing the flesh and blood on Han Tai's hands to become burnt, and the flesh and blood were stuck to the hot spear shaft.
Then, the foreign monks became the center.
A scorching heat wave enveloped Lord Wu and others.
This is pure heat emitted by the fiery qi and blood, not any magical power.
At this point, the martial arts are close to supernatural powers.
At this moment, the foreign monks obviously wanted to burn Lord Wu and others alive.
Lord Wu broke out in a sweat and felt exhausted in an instant.
Just when Lord Wu and others were feeling extremely miserable, suddenly, their faces turned into ecstasy.
Because at this time, although the heat around them was incredibly intense, they could no longer feel a trace of heat, and instead their bodies felt icy cold.
The foreign monk first saw the pain of Lord Wu and others, and a smile appeared on his face.
But after a while, he saw that Lord Wu and others all looked happy, which made him feel puzzled.
Suddenly, a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
A cold wind blew up around him, as if to extinguish the blood and energy of his Red Sun Dafa.
"Evil spirits?" The foreign monk practiced martial arts and reached the level of a master, so how could he be afraid of these evil winds? He then continued to increase his blood energy and masculinity.
However, the stronger his blood became, the stronger the cold wind outside would become, entangling with his blood endlessly.
Logically speaking, masculine blood and energy can restrain evil spirits.
But that’s not the case at all now.
The opponent's cold wind seemed endless, with no end in sight.
As the foreign monk continued to increase his qi and blood, he gradually reached the limit of what he could currently achieve.
This was also the first time that the foreign monk had elevated the Red Sun Technique to its peak level outside of the Seven Killing Demon Palace.
Even so, the cold wind from the outside world has not yet reached its limit.
He had reached the bottom, but the other party seemed far from it.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on the foreign monk's forehead, and then white mist instantly rose up.
In the eyes of Lord Wu and others, the foreign monk's head seemed to have become a steaming tea stove, with steam constantly coming out.
But what was extremely strange was that, with the foreign monk as the center, the ground began to be covered with a light frost. As time passed, the frost gradually crawled onto the foreign monk, and his giant snake had already been frozen by the frost.
I saw that there was still steam rising from the foreign monk’s head, like fairy mist, but his lower body was completely covered with ice and frost.
This scene is horrifying.
It was a midsummer night, the starry sky was brilliant, the seven stars in the east were dazzling, and a flying dragon was in the sky!
I don't know when the east was already bright.
The seven stars of the Eastern Azure Dragon disappeared from the sky, and a deep sigh sounded.
"There is indeed a secret to Tantric Buddhism. But is that all?"
