The Devil Is Too Strong

Chapter 255 The Devil is Too Strong

"Thank you, Buddha."

Qin Mu thanked him, saying that it was inconvenient for him to ride the dragon unicorn directly, so he jumped off and walked, which was a courtesy.

"It's getting dark outside. We should have kept the leader overnight."

The two of them hurried down the mountain at a leisurely pace. Although they were not walking fast, their speed was still more than ten times faster than that of ordinary people. Buddha thought, "Although the time that Master Qin stayed in my Great Leiyin Temple was short, he caused a lot of trouble. Several monks died, and some monks went down the mountain to return to secular life. However, Tathagata still let the Master go down the mountain."

Qin Mu smiled and said, "I admire Tathagata's broad mind. He is worthy of being the first enlightened person in Buddhism. I am very grateful to Tathagata for abandoning his sectarianism and helping Granny Si."

Buddha's heart smiled and said, "Master, I would like to take another look at the Great Yutian Demon Sutra. Is that possible?"

Qin Mu took out the Great Yu Tian Mo Sutra and unfolded it, revealing countless words. He walked and read, shook his head and said, "It's really a way to harm people. Every move of magic and every kind of skill is to take people's lives, and the training method is also very evil."

Qin Mu was surprised: "Why do you say that, Buddhist?"

Buddha thought: "Look at this Creation Demon Art. It peels the skin to make clothes, and also seals the soul, qi and blood to make clothes that can change into thousands of shapes. Isn't this an evil method?"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "The Creation Heavenly Demon Art focuses on inner cultivation, used to seal one's soul, spirit, and blood, so that one is not invaded by external demons. It is not about peeling skin and making clothes. If you want to change, the Creation Heavenly God Art combined with the Creation Spirit Art is enough to do it."

Buddha Heart shook his head and said, "Master, you have misunderstood. The Heavenly Demon Art has a bad reputation, who hasn't heard of it? You are young, how many books have you read? It is normal for you to have some deviations in your understanding. Look at this Creation Innate Art, this is clearly a magic art that can only be cultivated by drawing on the innate energy of a newborn baby! If you cultivate this art, your face will never age. I don't know how many newborn babies have been killed for the sake of an eternal youth!"

Qin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and corrected him, "The so-called innate does not refer to the baby, but the state of the baby. The baby is innate before it is born, the beginning of yin and yang, embracing the origin and guarding the unity. The purple river placenta is connected to the mother of the innate, and does not need to breathe. The soul is pure and flawless. Buddhist son, you have misunderstood. To practice this technique, you don't have to eat the purple river placenta or the baby, but to treat yourself as a baby."

Buddha Heart shook his head and said, "Master, you still don't admit it? Isn't this Creation Earth Origin Power a magic skill that collects the magic fire from the sun and the earth to refine and kill all living things? The more people are killed, the more wronged souls there are, and the stronger the power becomes. In the end, the magic fire turns into hell, which is the Earth Origin!"

Qin Mu smiled and said, “This technique also has the word ‘creation’ in it, it is used to cultivate the spirit and strengthen the primordial spirit.”

"Using other people's souls to strengthen the original spirit, isn't that a demonic power?" asked Buddha's heart.

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "This technique combined with the Creation Innate Technique is to hold the mind in oneness, transform into a baby state, connect to the earth, absorb the mother energy of the earth, strengthen my soul, and can also be used to create all things. Buddha, I have been practicing the Great Cultivation Heavenly Demon Sutra these days, and my spirit fetus is unusually strong. These two techniques are of great use. You can also practice them."

Buddha Heart smiled and said, "I don't practice, I just want to criticize it."

Qin Mu looked at him deeply, his heart was pure and he didn't seem to be pretending.

Qin Mu smiled and said, "Then, continue, Buddhist."

Buddha Heart continued to read the Great Yu Tianmo Sutra and said, "You Tianmo Sect deserves the name of demon, the demonic nature is too strong. The more you look at these skills and magical powers, the more frightening they are. This skill is called the Farewell Skill. If you want to master it, do you have to kill the whole family?"

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "This technique is actually the technique of the Tiansheng Sect's Funeral Hall. It is used to make paper figures and paper horses, which are used to hold funerals for people, scare away ghosts and gods, and bring blessings to their descendants. Buddhist son, if you are prejudiced, you should not watch it. I am afraid that it will ruin your Buddhist heart."

Buddha Heart laughed and said, "Master Qin, my Great Leiyin Temple has given you the Tathagata Mahayana Sutra to read, but you won't allow me to read the Great Yutian Demon Sutra?"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "Okay, that's up to you."

The two continued to walk down the mountain. The more Foxin read, the more he shook his head. By the time they reached the bottom of the mountain, it was already late at night. He had read most of the Great Yutian Demon Sutra.

Qin Mu looked around. This was the territory of Yankang State. Going forward was Yankang, and going down the mountain from the other side was Daxu. However, Daxu was shrouded in darkness at this time and could not be entered.

The New Year has passed and it is February now. The moon is bright in the sky and the stars are sparse. It is a crescent moon, but it emits a peaceful light, much brighter than usual.

This is near the Great Leiyin Temple. The dark clouds covering the sky had long been removed by the temple’s senior monks, so the sky appears particularly clear.

There are also some villages nearby that believe in Buddhism and worship the Buddha, but the land here all belongs to the Great Leiyin Temple, and the people living in these villages are all tenant farmers who grow crops and produce grain. They do not pay rent to the court, but only pay tribute to the Great Leiyin Temple.

Qin Mu originally planned to return to Yankang, one to continue his practice, the other to manage the Tiansheng Sect. This time Li Tianxing escaped from the Thousand Buddha Pagoda and also headed for Yankang.

Foxin was still reading the Great Yutian Demon Sutra when the two of them arrived at the mountain gate. A monk guarding the gate was sitting there with a lantern in his hand, and a strange beast, a four-legged beast, was sleeping next to him.

There were several attendants nearby. When they saw them, they quickly stood up. The Buddhist went forward to ask, and they said, "We are the prince's attendants. We are all laymen and cannot enter the temple, so we are waiting outside."

"I have to escort the Demon Cult Master down the mountain, so I have no time to entertain you. Please forgive me."

Buddha Heart called over the Sibu Xiang, led the strange beast over, and said, "Master Qin, I still need half an hour to finish. If you don't mind, I will give you a ride. The Sibu Xiang of my Great Leiyin Temple has been listening to Buddhist teachings for many years, and its cultivation is very profound. It can catch up with your dragon unicorn."

Qin Mu smiled: "That's great."

The four-legged beast walked side by side with the dragon and unicorn. Buddha's light appeared behind Buddha's heart and head, illuminating the Great Yutian Demon Sutra and continuing to study it.

"Demon leader?"

The eyes of the prince's followers lit up: "Which demon leader?"

The monk guarding the mountain gate said, "Who else? The leader Qin of the Heavenly Demon Cult has come with great force and has bewitched many monks in the temple to return to secular life. In the past few days, many monks have gone down the mountain to return to secular life. Even many of my uncles and aunts have returned to secular life."

The men looked at each other and said with a smile, "We have achieved our credit! The Heavenly Demon Cult killed Sun Nanda and destroyed the Nanda Temple. It was the Heavenly Demon Cult leader who was behind this. We didn't expect to meet him here! Let's go and get the credit!"

The monk said hurriedly: "Good men, please do not commit sins and kill people, and do not hurt the Buddha's disciples!"

The prince's attendants smiled and said, "Don't worry!"

Qin Mu sat on the back of the dragon unicorn, looking up at the moon in the sky, his body rising and falling slowly as the dragon unicorn moved. It was the eighth day of the second lunar month, and the crescent moon was very curved.

Foxin breathed a sigh of relief, returned the Great Yu Tian Mo Jing to Qin Mu, and said, "I finally finished reading it. It is indeed a classic of the devil. Why is Master Qin always looking at the moon in the sky?"

"There is no moon in my Great Ruins."

Qin Mu retracted his gaze and lightly tapped the Great Yu Tian Mo Sutra, which turned into a ball of thread again. He smiled and said, "So every time I see the moon, I always think it is very beautiful and attractive. Besides, I also want to see where the Great Lei Yin Temple is."

Buddha's heart was slightly startled, and asked curiously: "The territory of the Great Leiyin Temple?"

Qin Mu nodded and saw that the moon in the sky was blocked by dark clouds. He jumped down from the back of Long Qilin. He saw that the place where he landed was covered with moonlight on one side and darkness left by dark clouds on the other side. He smiled and said, "The territory of the Great Leiyin Temple should be nearby. Buddhist disciples, please look, the monks of the Great Leiyin Temple have taken away all the dark clouds in the territory. The dark clouds outside are the clouds of Yankang Kingdom and are not under the jurisdiction of the Great Leiyin Temple."

Foxin also jumped down from the Sibu Xiang, looked up at the sky, then looked at the ground, and said in surprise: "I never knew that the Great Leiyin Temple had a boundary. So, there should be a boundary marker nearby."

Qin Mu became interested and said with a smile: "Why don't we look for it?"

The Buddha's heart seemed to have the mind of a young man. After a while, the two young men searched and found a cliff. It was a bare mountaintop standing on the ground. It was cut into half, more than ten feet high, with the words "Great Leiyin Temple Realm" written on it.

Buddha Heart clapped his hands and laughed, "There really is such a stone tablet! Although I am a monk of the Great Leiyin Temple, I have never heard the elders talk about it. Master Qin, I heard that the Heavenly Demon Sect does not cultivate the mind, and does not have many requirements for the depth of the mind. The skills of your Heavenly Demon Sect are easy to master quickly, but because you practice the skills but not the mind, it is easy to go astray."

Qin Mu stood under the boundary marker and looked up at the words on it: "There is such a saying."

Buddha's eyes flickered, and he said, "If the Buddhist method of cultivating the mind is combined with the quick practice of the Great Cultivation Heavenly Demon Sutra, will it be perfect?"

Qin Mu was still studying the words on the boundary marker, and said nonchalantly, "I don't know about that."

Fuxin looked at his back, Qin Mu looked at the stone tablet in front of him, and neither of them spoke anymore.

Suddenly, Buddha's light shone brightly, and demonic energy became thicker. Under the boundary marker, Buddha and demons divided the world into two, one good and one evil, and they collided with a loud bang!

Qin Mu turned around, and the Buddha's light behind his head shone brightly, like a yellow-robed Buddha. With every move he made, thunderous sounds were heard, and the Tathagata Mahayana Sutra was activated. However, the Buddha's heart was filled with evil spirits, and blazing devil fires were burning all over his body, and the Creation Earth Yuan Gong was activated!

The two men fought fiercely under the boundary marker without saying a word. Qin Mu's vital energy was like a cloud above his head, and the five heavens were faintly visible, with thousands of Buddhas paying homage to him. Demonic energy was surging around the Buddha's heart, and the demonic fire was becoming more and more vigorous.

The two of them were moving quickly under the boundary monument of the Great Leiyin Temple, when suddenly a loud rumbling sound was heard. Foxin groaned and took a step back. Qin Mu took a step forward and slashed at him with one palm after another, each palm as heavy as the boundary monument of the Great Leiyin Temple!

The Buddha’s heart kept retreating, and blood was flowing out of his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

Boom——

Qin Mu smashed down with his palm again, like a giant Buddha emitting the fire of ignorance. Buddha's heart raised his hand to take it, and a sound of broken bones came from his body. He retreated again, and suddenly felt a stone tablet against his back. His heart sank.

Boom!

Qin Mu slapped him again. Fo Xin groaned and fell down under the boundary monument. He raised his hand and said, "Stop fighting. I admit defeat..."

Qin Mu raised his fist and punched down, one punch after another. After a moment, he stood up, his Buddha's heart covered in blood.

"You have too much evil in you. I want to keep you and see how you harm the Great Leiyin Temple in the future."

Qin Mu retracted his palm, blood dripping from his fingertips. He looked at the unrecognizable Buddha's heart under the boundary marker and said softly, "Look at the Great Yu Tian Mo Sutra. Every technique is a misinterpretation. It is more demonic than a demon. If I keep you, the Great Leiyin Temple will definitely be destroyed in your hands."

Fuxin still had a breath left and was about to speak when suddenly a sword light came at him, piercing his forehead with a hiss. The flying sword went through his head and nailed him to the boundary marker.

I only heard a voice saying happily: "Finally I killed the Demon Cult Leader! This guy has a lot of demonic nature!"

"After all, the Buddha is kind-hearted and didn't kill him."

Another voice laughed and said, "But it's still a bargain for us! Cut off his head and ask the prince for the reward!"
