Chapter 215: Demonized Buddha Lotus! (1/2)
It was obvious at a glance that the golden lotus flower was an extraordinary item. With just a glance, it was dazzling.
If this thing was exposed in the Immortal Ascension Assembly, there would be no need for the monks to waste their breath. At the very least, there would be a few thousand young people who would immediately convert to Buddhism and stop dreaming about other prospects.
After his eyes adapted to the dazzling golden light for a long time, Jiang Li saw that there were six old monks sitting cross-legged on the golden lotus.
It could be seen how large this lotus platform was. Six burly old monks sat on it, and the space seemed more than enough.
These six people were clearly in seclusion for this Buddhist treasure.
It was no wonder that they could not come out to deal with the esteemed guests of the Scripture Storage Valley these few days.
After all, to them, no matter how important something was, could anything be more important than the birth of a Buddhist treasure?
Moreover, to cultivators with long lifespans, three to five days was really nothing.
”Disciples, recite the scriptures to welcome the birth of the Buddhist treasure!”
A monk shouted loudly. The tens of thousands of disciples below immediately calmed down and chanted Buddhist scriptures in unison.
The six Divine Monks also responded. With a wave of their hands, they triggered the golden lotus that they sat on. Buddhist light scattered out and landed on all the cultivators present.
However, the Buddhist light that landed on Jiang Li and the others was clearly much thinner.
[Enshrouded by Buddha Light. Added Status: Golden Lotus Buddha Light.]
[Golden Lotus Buddha Light: Heart stays at peace. Expels evil and destroys malice. Mind+1, Enlightenment+1, Constitution+1. Duration: 30 minutes] (− +)
Jiang Li looked at the status on the interface. As expected, the effect of this bit of Buddhist light was not very good.
It was basically slightly better than a Concentration Incense.
When he was young, he might have been excited, but now, it was better than nothing.
This was because the Buddhist light was distributed to more than ten thousand cultivators present. These disciples of Benevolent Travel Temple would even use Buddhist cultivation methods to actively draw and absorb the Buddhist light.
Although Jiang Li and the others were at the front, the Buddhist light that they could receive was also minimal.
At this moment, just as all the disciples of the Benevolent Travel Temple lowered their heads and seriously chanted the Buddhist scripture…
Jiang Li discovered that the group from the Hundred Tempering Mountain opposite him was not interested in this Buddhist light at all. No one took the initiative to absorb it. They only looked at the golden lotus and seemed to be doing something. In fact, there were less than half of the people present.
In order to prevent any conflict between the two sides and tear down their temple, the Benevolent Travel Temple's people specially arranged their positions very far away, so Jiang Li did not pay too much attention to them. Now, looking at their actions, there was something strange about everything.
Logically speaking, such a rare event should be something that everyone wanted to witness. No matter how small the bonus was, it was still something. Ordinary people would not reject it.
Something was amiss and Jiang Li instinctively became vigilant.
He looked left and right before following the gazes of the Hundred Tempering Mountain cultivators and casting his gaze towards the golden lotus platform.
This time, he saw something. At the bottom of the lotus platform, there seemed to be a dirty spot.
In the thick golden color, a spot that was not glowing was quite conspicuous.
Jiang Li widened his eyes and took a closer look. There seemed to be something stuck there.
”This is… a worm?”
On the resplendent Buddhist lotus, there was a fat and strong leech that was as thick as an adult's arm.
Jiang Li frowned and had just sensed that something was amiss when the blood leech exploded.
A ball of smelly blood that was pitch-black dyed the bottom of the golden lotus dirty.
The lotus platform that should not have been tainted was like a sponge at this moment. With a blind effort, it absorbed all the evil blood.
In the next moment, monstrous demonic qi suddenly surged out, tearing apart the golden light that enveloped it and breaking through the auspicious qi that filled the sky. Dark clouds rumbled as they covered the surrounding area.
The golden Buddha Lotus instantly shed its Buddhist light and turned black. The Buddhist power that poured out of the lotus platform also suddenly transformed into vicious demonic qi!
The tens of thousands of monks present spat out a mouthful of black blood when they were struck by this huge change. They had actually drawn the demonic qi into their bodies without any defense and were injured on the spot.
”What's going on! Six Clarity Incantation! Not good!”
The expressions of the six Divine Monks sitting on the lotus platform changed drastically. They had clearly completely eliminated the demonic nature of this lotus flower, so how could it suddenly turn from Buddha to Demon!
They were just about to escape and use the Six Clarity Incantation to suppress the demonic lotus again, but the petals of the lotus suddenly closed inward, forming a confined space that directly locked the six of them in.
The few monks immediately wanted to break out of the lotus, but the quality of this lotus platform was extremely high and firm. Moreover, it had experienced the process of transforming from a demon to a Buddha before transforming into a demon again. Its resistance to Buddhist power was extremely shocking.
As a result, with the methods of these six people, they were unable to escape for a time.
This lotus platform had once eaten people!
In the confined lotus space, chaotic and evil demonic qi surged out and crazily corroded their Buddhist bodies.
If they could not escape in time, these six Divine Monks might die here.
”Damn it! The Relic Pagoda! Suppress it!”
Abbot Le Ku, who had been staying in the Relic Pagoda and did not leave, was shocked when he saw this scene.
He hurriedly activated the Benevolent Travel Temple's core Relic Pagoda. A golden light enveloped the sky and was about to suppress the demonic lotus again.
However! Stab!
A strange black vajra staff pierced through the monk's back and chest!
”Kong'e! You! It's you!”
”What have you done!”
His Buddhist body was pierced through and intense pain assaulted him. A strange demonic qi surged into his body from the black vajra staff.
Abbot Le Ku took three steps forward and turned his head to look at the monk, Kong'e, who he had always respectfully addressed as his Uncle-Master!
Due to his identity, from the day that the demonic lotus entered the temple, he was assigned the responsibility of guarding it.
After 200 years, the monks of the Benevolent Travel Temple burned incense and continuously chanted scriptures, spending a lot of effort to cleanse this lotus platform.
However, at this moment, the lotus platform that had been purified from a demon to a Buddha with great difficulty had actually failed!
Kong'e had actually suddenly attacked him for no reason. Moreover, his attacks were vicious and ruthless. This time, he was definitely going to die.
Without a doubt, this matter was definitely related to the other party!
”What did I do? Martial Nephew Le Ku, you're really ignorant. Can't you tell at this point?”
Monk Kong'e's expression was twisted to the extreme. From his face, one could see excitement, hatred, and various other expressions. It seemed that he had long wanted to stab with the staff.
He took out a brocade box from his bosom and casually threw it to the ground, breaking it into a few pieces. On the surface of the broken piece, there was a layer of slippery and disgusting mucus. This brocade box should have contained something disgusting before.
Kong'e walked to the place where the Buddhist lotus was originally placed. He stepped on the ground and shattered it, revealing an empty rectangular secret compartment below.
”Martial Nephew Le Ku, do you understand now? I've been waiting for a long time today!”
