The Great Bandit of Journey to the West

Chapter 64 Lu Ziye

After one charge, chaos erupted on both altars, with dozens of people coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground.

Qi Hui's expression was solemn. He formed a hand seal, and an invisible barrier enveloped the altar.

The undead cavalry were fully prepared, and their second charge slammed into the ramparts. After the fierce collision, they crumbled back into a bloody mist.

On another altar, Zhi Kai offered up a relic, which emitted golden Sanskrit characters that coalesced into a cage that enveloped everyone.

The undead knights that charged out of the blood mist crashed into the cage, canceling out the Sanskrit inscriptions on it, and then dissipated.

Next, undead soldiers emerged from the blood mist and engaged in a protracted battle with the two on the altar.

Jiang Feng frowned and asked, "What's going on? Where did these soldiers come from? Why do they exude such a heavy aura of malevolence?"

As Cui Ying's memories flashed through her mind, she said, "Those soldiers who attacked Qihui were dressed in Jie ethnic clothing and were so fierce, they were very likely under the command of Shi Hu of the Later Zhao Dynasty."

When Shi Hu conquered Qingzhou, he massacred all 100,000 inhabitants, leaving only about 700 alive. His army roamed throughout North China, leaving the Central Plains desolate for thousands of miles.

Only that army could possess such a heavy aura of malevolence after their deaths.

As she spoke, she looked at another altar.

"The banner says 'Great General of the Universe'? The ones who stormed the Buddhist altar must be the rebel army of Hou Jing from the Southern Liang Dynasty!"

When Hou Jing besieged Jiankang for several months, only a few thousand of the city's more than 100,000 inhabitants survived due to famine and massacres. After capturing Wu Commandery and Kuaiji, he massacred the entire population of both places, directly leading to the downfall of the Southern Liang Dynasty.

Jiang Feng said with a sharp look in his eyes, "These blood-stained souls, instead of groveling and begging to be released along with the common people, actually dare to come out and cause trouble!"

"Zhang Guo, as holy sons of both Buddhism and Taoism, it is time for us to vanquish demons and monsters!"

Zhang Guo took a deep breath and said, "You've really ruined my life! If it weren't for you, I'd be traveling around enjoying myself right now, instead of risking my life here!"

Having said that, he tossed out a paper donkey, blew on it to bring it to life, and rode it towards the cloud of blood mist.

At the same time, Jiang Feng used the "Kun Fish Transforms into a Peng" technique, his body soaring upwards, surpassing Zhang Guo in the blink of an eye, and arriving in front of the blood mist.

"Namo Jade-Faced Thunder King Buddha!"

Jiang Feng lifted his cassock, took a grenade hanging on it, and threw it into the blood mist. After a loud bang, boundless Buddhist light shone from the center of the explosion, instantly scattering a large patch of blood mist.

At the same time, Zhang Guo also arrived in front of the blood mist. While making hand seals and chanting incantations, a golden pill appeared in his dantian. The golden pill shone brightly and forced the blood mist in front of him back.

"The Supreme Nine-Turn Great Rejuvenating Elixir!"

An old Taoist priest cried out in surprise, staring at Zhang Guo with his eyes shining with excitement.

"Truly worthy of being the Holy Son of our Daoist sect! At such a young age, he has already refined the supreme Golden Elixir! Heaven has ordained a great prosperity for our Daoist sect!"

On the other side, Zhi Kai and the other monks also witnessed the demeanor of Jiang Feng, the holy son of Buddhism.

He flailed his arms, continuously hurling Buddhist light bombs, creating patches of blood mist that were several times more lethal than Zhang Guo's golden core. It was this ferocious style that made him so powerful...

It seems to have nothing to do with the image of great compassion and mercy in Buddhism!

The old monk standing next to Zhikai was full of questions: "Master Zhikai, is that person in the sky truly a holy son of our Buddhism? He looks more like a demon or heretic to me!"

Zhi Kai frowned: "How would I know..."

Almost in the blink of an eye, Jiang Feng blasted away the blood mist above the altar, then flipped his right hand and used the Palm Buddha Kingdom Divine Power.

A powerful suction force emanated from his palm, drawing all the remaining undead cavalry into it.

"Om Mani Padme Hum!"

As a resounding chant echoed throughout the three realms, Jiang Feng flipped his palm and pressed it down, and a giant Buddha's hand appeared in the air, slamming heavily onto the ground!

"Boom!"

After a loud noise, a huge palm print, five feet deep, was left on the ground.

The two altars shook violently, and everyone turned pale with fright.

The Buddha's palm landed squarely on the two altars, precisely in the open space between them. Had it deviated even slightly, one of the altars would have vanished instantly!

At that moment, the world seemed to fall silent. Everyone stared at the huge palm print on the ground, covered in cold sweat, speechless for a long time.

Meanwhile, at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, a monkey surnamed Sun, who was trapped underneath, suddenly shivered and curiously rolled his eyes, saying, "Who's been so foolish as to offend that old Buddha again..."

After a long while, the old monk standing next to Zhi Kai suddenly snapped out of his daze and said to Zhi Kai with a look of horror, "Master Zhi Kai, this is absolutely the Holy Son of our Buddhist sect! From now on, I, the Zhi Zhang monk, will be the first to object to anyone who doesn't acknowledge the Holy Son!"

Zhi Kai: "..."

That's not what you just said!

Having suppressed the sudden appearance of these malevolent spirits, the memorial service could no longer proceed. Jiang Feng quickly dispatched officials from the imperial court to treat the wounded and calm the crowd.

However, everyone was still shaken by what they had just witnessed and seemed somewhat distracted.

Some people with weak faith even had the idea of ​​giving up, abandoning their belongings stored elsewhere and running away back to their hometowns on the spot.

They originally thought they were just here to perform an ordinary religious ceremony and gain some impressive credentials, but they never expected it to be so dangerous. They now have to reassess the pros and cons.

The next day, Jiang Feng received the headcount statistics, and excluding the newcomers, the number was 70% less than the day before.

Jiang Feng was also somewhat helpless. He gathered with Wang Yuanzhi, Jizang, and others to discuss and try to find a good way to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

"What do you think about inviting the Dharma protectors from Taoism and Buddhism to descend to the mortal realm and guard the area around the altar?"

Jiang Feng offered his suggestion.

Wang Yuanzhi smiled wryly: "It's possible, but how many protectors can we invite? Moreover, those who use magic to invite protectors won't be able to take care of the deliverance, which means we'll have half the number of monks performing the deliverance."

Jiang Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I can conjure soldiers from beans and summon eight hundred Yellow Turban warriors. If I could summon all the Yellow Turban warriors..."

"Then the entire world is doomed!" Wang Yuanzhi interrupted, his eyes wide.

"The resentment of those Yellow Turban rebels' souls is probably even stronger than the malevolent aura of yesterday's cavalry spirits. If they are still lingering in the mortal realm, they must be given priority in being released from their suffering!"

Jiang Feng suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "The Yellow Turban Warriors may have been reincarnated, but there must be other souls of the Yellow Turban army in the mortal realm, and they are capable of obeying our commands!"

Wang Yuanzhi was taken aback: "Which army are you talking about?"

Jiang Feng's eyes lit up as he said, "Fa Qing's Demon-Slaying Army and Sun En's Immortal Army! These two armies are ruthless and willing to kill anyone they encounter!"

Wang Yuanzhi: "@#￥%￥#@……"

Yoshizo: "??"

Seriously?! You're really that unconventional?!
