Chapter 193 Leifeng Pagoda Falls
Merit is something ethereal, invisible, and intangible. It is simply impossible to know how much merit you have accumulated. And the so-called accumulation of virtue and good deeds are too broad. And how much merit can be gained by rescuing an ordinary person? It is really difficult to accumulate enough merit to offset the power of the heavenly tribulation.
Li Yu looked at the Buddhist exercises and gradually became embarrassed. The Buddhist exercises are not difficult to practice, but the process of accumulating merit is extremely difficult. It has been more than a hundred years since Li Yu failed to cross the tribulation. In more than a hundred years, he will have to face the test of heavenly calamity again. And in these more than a hundred years, even if he can save one person every day, how much merit can he accumulate? This makes Li Yu's face look a little... It looks ugly.
Fa Hai, who was standing opposite, looked at Li Yu's face. He seemed to see Li Yu's worry. He smiled and said to Li Yu, "Brother Li Yu, are you worried about accumulating merit? In fact, there is no need to do so. You also want to accumulate merit. There are shortcuts. For example, the best way is to eliminate demons and protect the Tao. Now there is a demon in the world of cultivation. As long as Brother Li Yu can get rid of this person, wouldn't there be supreme merit?"
After listening to Fahai's words, Li Yu's face looked a little better. He looked at Shenjianzi. Then he said to Shenjianzi, "What is going on? You said something about the life and death of the Shushan Sword Sect earlier. Is that it? It has something to do with that devil. Don’t lie. Tell me the truth.”
The struggle between the righteous path and the demonic path in the world of cultivation has been around for a long time. In fact, the characters in the demonic path have not done anything harmful to nature. It’s just that their cultivation methods are different. But in order to compete for the territory and interests of the cultivation world, they will find some explanations. Come to slay demons and defend the Tao. Li Yu naturally understands the things involved. That's why Shen Jianzi told the truth.
Naturally, Shen Jianzi did not dare to conceal anything or forge. He told Kong Yu's life experience and what he had done. The main reason why the Shushan Sword Sect was involved was because he was worried that the Tianmo Sect and the Kunlun Sect would collude. Attack the Shushan Sword Sect. In that case, the Shushan Sword Sect will naturally be in danger.
Li Yu also frowned after listening to Shen Jianzi's words. He did not expect that such a person would appear in the world of cultivation during his retreat. He actually achieved such an achievement in just a few years. Obviously this person also People with great luck must be very difficult to deal with. If the Shushan Sword Sect provokes such a person, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future.
But Shen Jianzi's worries are not wrong. The Shushan Sword Sect naturally needs to be prepared. Forming an alliance with Cihang Jingzhai is a good way. This makes Li Yu very satisfied with Shen Jianzi's ability to do things. Just listening to Shenjianzi's description of Kong Yu, it seems that Kong Yu only committed endless killings for revenge. How much merit can such a person, even apart from him, have.
Li Yu really didn't know much about things like accumulating merit. Fahai was naturally well versed in this. So Li Yu asked Fahai for advice and said, "Zen Master, how much merit can Kong Yu add even if he is not there?" .It won’t be a waste of effort. Please ask the Zen Master for advice on how to do it.”
Fahai squinted his eyes after listening to Li Yu's words. He had a smile on his face and said nothing. Then he twisted the beads in his left hand. Buddhist mantras came out from Fahai's mouth. Then Fahai took the beads in his hand. Throwing it into the air, the string of beads turned into a white light and disappeared in front of them.
And at the next moment, in front of the Jingci Temple on the south bank of the West Lake in Hangzhou, China, and above the tall Leifeng Pagoda standing there, the sky was originally clear, but suddenly it became covered with dark clouds. Then a strong wind blew, and a white light shot out from the dark clouds. The bombardment hit the Leifeng Tower. There was only a loud bang and the Leifeng Tower collapsed suddenly.
And the next moment the Leifeng Tower collapsed, a purple light rose into the sky surrounded by a circle of white light. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the sky. This happened in an instant. Then the dark clouds dispersed. Thunder The peak tower has become a ruin. People around are stunned for a while. They don't know what happened.
On the back mountain of the Shushan Sword Sect, Fahai, who was smiling with squinting eyes, stretched out his left hand. Two rays of light shot out from the void. One of the white rays of light turned into a string of Buddhist beads and hung on Fahai's wrist. The other A ray of purple light turned into a purple gold alms bowl and fell on Fa Hai's hand. It exuded a faint purple light.
Li Yu saw the purple-gold alms bowl in Fahai's hand. His expression changed. Because this purple-gold alms bowl was the magic weapon that Fahai had become famous for back then. It was a very powerful magic weapon. When he saw Fahai summoning this object, he saw it. Li Yu didn't understand Fahai's intention. But at this time, Fahai said to Li Yu, "Brother Li Yu, please see what this is."
After listening to Fahai's words, Li Yu took a step forward and came to Fahai. He raised his eyes and looked into the purple gold alms bowl held by Fahai in his left hand. However, he found a one-foot-long snake covered in white entwined. In the purple gold alms bowl, under the rays of purple light, he looked a little depressed.
When he saw this white snake, Li Yu immediately understood what Fahai meant. At the same time, he also understood that Fahai had spent so much effort to subdue the snake demon Bai Suzhen in order to accumulate merit and prepare for the catastrophe. This made Li Yu feel shocked. He was a little more wary of Fa Hai, an old monk with a smile on his face.
The reason why Li Yu was a little more wary of Fahai was because although Bai Suzhen, a snake demon, was a strange cultivator, she was naturally kind and did not do anything harmful to nature. She just married the scholar Xu Xian to repay her kindness. He also helped the world by hanging the pot and did a lot of good deeds. It can be said that he also has a lot of merit.
However, due to Fahai's obstruction, Bai Suzhen's water flooded the Jinshan Temple, causing huge floods and causing endless killings. All the good deeds Bai Suzhen had done before were in vain. And Fahai who subdued Bai Suzhen was out of thin air. He gained boundless merit, enabling him to survive the catastrophe safely.
Such a character is too sinister. Li Yu naturally has to be somewhat wary of Fahai. But Li Yu naturally won't show it. Looking at the snake demon Bai Suzhen in the purple gold alms bowl, Li Yu nodded. Then he faced Fahai said, "I already understand what Zen Master means. I just need to know how to make Kong Yu obey."
