Chapter 97: Shikigami: Hakubozu
Two days later, in a Buddhist relic shop in Mulan City, Cang County, the shopkeeper was carefully cleaning the shrine. This shop was located in a remote location and few people came here before..
Now the world recognized that there is no immortal, there is no immortal there is no true Buddha, most people do not believe in the existence of Buddha and immortal.
Therefore, Buddhism and Taoism are rarely believed in in the Central Plains. Without believers, the two sects are just ordinary cultivation sects..
The cultivation methods of the two religions are completely different from those of other martial arts sects. They are independent of martial arts..
Buddhism cultivates merit and Taoism cultivates qi. Both of them can use the methods that only immortals in myths can use when they cultivate to a high level. Therefore, most people cultivate Buddhism and Taoism only for the purpose of pursuing powerful strength, not true belief..
Even Buddhist and Taoist practitioners are like this, not to mention ordinary people. This Buddhist shop used to barely make ends meet and saw few customers all day..
This situation has changed since the shopkeeper changed some time ago. The number of customers who come to the door has increased suddenly, and almost all of them buy something..
The new shopkeeper was a kind-looking old man. He usually lived in seclusion and only moved around in the shop. He didn't like to talk much. When he saw his neighbors, he basically smiled and nodded, even if it was a greeting..
The shopkeeper often helped beggars begging on the street and fed stray cats and dogs in the city. His good deeds soon spread around. Everyone said that the old man was a real Buddhist believer. Although they still sneered at people who believed in Buddhism, they had a good impression of the shopkeeper..
The shopkeeper was a good person. Many busybodies went to the Buddhist furniture shop to make friends with him. They broke through the casserole and asked him if he was a real Buddhist believer..
The shopkeeper didn't hide anything and explained a lot of Buddhist principles to them. Although these people didn't believe him, they felt that what he said was very reasonable and couldn't help but fear Buddhism..
After a while, many neighbors heard the shopkeeper talk about Buddhism. Everyone admired this shopkeeper who was knowledgeable in Buddhism. However, during this process, everyone discovered one thing. The old man's accent was a little strange. It seemed that he was not from Yingzhou..
In fact, the inside of the Buddhist furniture shop is almost spotless, and the shopkeeper is still almost paranoid about wiping it everywhere..
A young man walked into the Buddhist paraphernalia shop. The shopkeeper turned to look at the young man and said indifferently,"You're here.".
The young man was a little surprised and pointed at himself and asked,"Do you know me?" The shopkeeper revealed a gentle smile and said,"Your Excellency is Galaxy Sect Zhonghua.".
"I am so famous, the Qing Yan Hall master can recognize me at a glance.".
Gu Xifeng smiled proudly. He did not care about being exposed..
"Your Excellency is extremely powerful, and Zhong Rentang of Huangshi City killed Bo Yuanzhi, the God Tamer of our Clear Evolution Hall, a few days ago. It is only reasonable for Clear Evolution Hall to make some preparations..
The shopkeeper was as calm as if he were talking to an old friend, and there was a little compliment in his words..
"It seems that it is not easy for me to leave today..
Gu Xifeng said indifferently..
The shopkeeper did not answer. He smiled and looked at Gu West Wind. Obviously, he acquiesced in this matter..
Just as Gu Xifeng was about to make a move, the shopkeeper said again,"Let's go out. Destroying the Buddhist shrine is blasphemy against Buddha.".
Gu Xifeng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the intelligence report that the shopkeeper was a Buddhist was true. He thought that Qinghe people did it deliberately to hide their eyes and ears. Now it seems that this guy really believes in Buddhism..
The shopkeeper pressed his palms together and bowed to Gu Xifeng. Then, he walked out of the shop as if nothing had happened. Gu Xifeng did not make a move during this period. According to his arrangements, he was confident that the shopkeeper would not escape..
Seeing that the shopkeeper had walked to the street, Gu Xifeng followed suit..
Gu West Wind and the experts of Dark Star Branch did not notice. A figure noticed Gu West Wind's arrival from afar and turned around to leave..
Because the Buddhist paraphernalia shop was located in a remote area, there were not many pedestrians on the street at this time. The shopkeeper still put his hands together, looking like an old monk. Suddenly, he shouted,"This place is dangerous. Leave quickly.".
He seemed to be using some technique, and his voice was extremely loud and spread far away, even producing waves of echoes..
This naturally has the suspicion of informing his accomplices and persuading them to escape.
However, Gu Xifeng ignored it. This was not an assassination attempt. If he could kill his opponent before he opened his mouth, he wouldn't have to worry so much. Moreover, he believed that since this expert of the Clear Evolution Hall was so calm, the Clear Evolution Hall must have made preparations. There was no point in letting his accomplices escape..
The shopkeeper's shout was immediate. The pedestrians nearby quickly fled when they heard it. Some people ran to the end of the street to look back. Although they were afraid of danger, curiosity still made some people willing to take the risk to find out..
Seeing that Gu West Wind and he were the only two people left nearby, the old man let out a sigh of relief. He then softly chanted," Shi Shen: District Master Bai.".
A huge figure emitting a dim light appeared out of thin air. It looked like a young monk..
The monk was dressed in a white robe and wore a bamboo hat. He held a Buddhist staff in one hand and a Buddhist seal in the other. He looked like an enlightened monk, but his style of clothing was somewhat different from that of the monks in the Central Plains..
"I am merciful, forgive me for being rude..
"The shopkeeper's face is peaceful, completely unlike the expression of fighting with others.".
District Master Bai stood still, but a golden Buddhist light appeared in front of her and flew towards Gu Xifeng in an instant..
Gu Xifeng naturally would not let the Buddhist light touch him so easily. He dodged it. When the Buddhist light flew past him, a figure was already approaching him. It was District Master Bai..
:.
" District Head Bai's Buddhist staff flashed with golden light as he smashed it at Gu Xifeng. Gu Xifeng slid the Battle Stopping Dagger into his hand from his sleeve and used his vigorous Vitality to block the attack.".
Gu Xifeng knew that District Master Bai was also a grandmaster after a short encounter..
"It seems that this Immortal Spirit Incense is an important step in your Clear Evolution Hall's plan. You sent so many experts to sell it, I want to see the expression of your Chief if this matter is completely ruined..
"Gu Xifeng mocked..
The shopkeeper ignored Gu Xifeng's taunts. He shouted piously," Clear your mind!" As soon as he finished speaking, District Master Bai's entire body floated in the air. His white robe fluttered in the absence of wind. A ball of light appeared on his chest and disappeared into his meditation staff..
District Master Bai's aura became more and more ethereal, and she revealed an expression that was no different from the shopkeeper's. She waved her Buddhist staff forward, and a Buddhist light enveloped a large area, including Gu Xifeng..
This was the first time Gu Xifeng had encountered such a method. Naturally, he did not know how to deal with it. He only knew that nothing good would happen if he touched this Buddha's Light..
He pushed his speed to the limit and retreated desperately. However, the area covered by the Buddha's light was too large. In the end, he could not escape completely. One arm and one leg were illuminated by the Buddha's light..
Large-area attacks were the bane of assassination experts like them. In addition, Buddhist light was invisible and invisible, so Gu Xifeng had no choice but to lose at this moment..
The larger the attack range, the lower the attack power. The Buddhist light's attack wasn't strong, but like other Qinghe people's methods, the Buddhist light also contained a strong corrosive power. Gu Xifeng only felt that the place illuminated by the Buddhist light was hot and cold alternately. This pain greatly reduced his speed..
District Master Bai seemed to be having a hard time after casting the Buddhist light. At this moment, he had already fallen back to the ground. His body had shrunk by a portion, and even his illusory face showed a trace of fatigue..
Gu Xifeng suddenly accelerated and transformed into five figures to attack Bai Fang..
The reason why he didn't attack directly at the God Commander was because it was very difficult to break through the God Commander's protective barrier. If he wasn't careful, he might be interrupted or even injured by the God Commander..
The reason why he could kill the skinny man so smoothly that day was because he had consumed too much energy to cast Hundred Ghosts Night, which gave Gu West Wind an opportunity to take advantage of it..
Now that this District Master Bai's strength was no less than that painting soul, he did not have a good opportunity to attack the main body of the God Tamer either. Therefore, Gu Xifeng had to slowly weaken the spirit before looking for an opportunity to defeat the enemy..
District Master Bai was at a disadvantage in close combat with Gu Xifeng. Gu Xifeng, who had transformed into five figures, had beaten District Master Bai back one after another. He had been attacked by Gu Xifeng several times, and his body became even more illusory. Even if he wanted to release a few big moves, Gu Xifeng interrupted him and could only take a passive beating..
As District Master Bai grew weaker, the shopkeeper's expression gradually became ferocious..
Just when Gu Xifeng felt that the time was ripe to kill the shopkeeper, something unexpected happened! The Buddhist light that had dimmed a lot on District Master Bai gradually disappeared. An evil power enveloped District Master Bai. He seemed to be in pain. He covered his face and knelt down. He kept trembling. His body began to emit traces of black gas. Finally, even his white robe gradually turned black..
The black gas became more and more intense. District Master Bai, who was kneeling on the ground, gradually stopped trembling and stood up. At this moment, he no longer looked like a monk. He was completely a demon that had descended to the human world..
" Devilization completed, Devil-sucking!" The shopkeeper shouted again..
Demonized District Master Bai stepped into the void and sucked with his palm, causing all the onlookers at the end of the street to fall to the ground and die. His soul was sucked into District Master Bai's body, making his aura even more vigorous and evil..
"Just now, you were so merciful, and in the blink of an eye, you people are really hypocritical..
Gu Xifeng was not afraid when he saw this. He teased..
"It's their honor to offer their souls to the Spirit God. What's the point of these ants surviving in this world? The Spirit God will bring them infinite glory..
The manager laughed maniacally, but there was no gentleness before him..
"People say that Buddha and devil have a thought, but this sentence does not apply to you. You only use Buddha to cover up evil, and good is evil. It is the greatest sin.".
Gu Xifeng's face turned cold and he ran towards the demonized Bai District Master..
" The devil descended!" The shopkeeper shouted again..
The demonized District Master Bai howled on his back. Countless terrifying demonic lights surged towards Gu Xifeng around his body. Gu Xifeng moved around in the air, searching for blind spots under the attack of the demonic lights, but none of the demonic lights swept past Gu Xifeng..
" Go to hell!" Gu Xifeng was furious that the shopkeeper manipulated the demonized Bai District Master to harm the commoners, and his killing intent rose..
Gu Xifeng, who was already a Grandmaster, cast Hundred Flowers Kill. It was extremely powerful. The Battle Stopping Dagger, which was infused with powerful Vitality, kept attacking the demonized District Master Bai. No matter how much she resisted, she could only keep screaming in pain and anger..
As District Master Bai grew weaker and weaker, Gu Xifeng finally found an opportunity to break through the shopkeeper's protective enchantment and thrust the dagger at his chest..
The shopkeeper fell to the ground unwillingly. His corpse fell to the ground, and District Mistress Bai also turned into specks of starlight that drifted away with the wind..
Gu Xifeng did not notice that danger was approaching him..
