Chapter 374 Soul-Saving Sutra
Chapter 374 Soul-Saving Sutra
However, the people and monsters who came over looked at the corpses and ice coffins on the shore anxiously and sadly. A big monster came forward and saluted, saying sadly: "We are all here to look for the women in your family!"
After he finished speaking, the rest of the people and the monsters came forward one after another, and told the truth one by one.
It turned out that some of these beings who came here were simply cultivators living in Xiangzhou, some were river masters of Pingjiang tributaries or other small rivers, and some were some mountain monsters.
In short, without exception, they are either controlled by the Pingjiang Demon King, or have little power of their own, or have no backing.
But there are beautiful wives, daughters, sisters and other female members in the family.
The Pingjiang Demon King does not stay in Pingjiang all the time. He occasionally creates a clone and travels around, not to mention that he has subordinates who specialize in collecting beautiful women for him.
Over time, the women in these families caught his eyes.
Without saying a word, they either rob, kidnap, or use threats and inducements.
Because the Demon King is extremely powerful and influential, and has the support of two great men behind him, these human cultivators and demon cultivators dare not speak out despite their anger.
"We have been paying attention to this place for a long time since we saw strange phenomena falling from the sky in the Pingjiang River Basin in the past few days. Now that we see the culprit has been executed, we dare to come here to look for our relatives!"
Seeing the beings crying one after another, someone couldn't help but ask: "You are from the same demon race. This guy did such a thing, don't you go and complain to the higher-ups?"
Hearing this, an old demon cried, "We are just the masters of small mountains and rivers. We are weak and powerless. How can we be as powerful as the Yang God like the Pingjiang Demon King in Xiangzhou? Even if we go to complain to the Dongxu Great Power of our tribe or the Dragon King, we won't even see them!"
The old man spread his hands helplessly, and the other monsters nodded one after another.
At this time, a cultivator stepped forward with a bitter face and said, "My sister was also playing on the river that year, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye. I suspected that she was abducted by an underwater river monster, so I came to your company to report the case. But back then, even with the best Yantian technique and tracking technique, I couldn't find her trace! I know that the two tribes have an agreement, and without solid evidence, it is not good to move the big monster or search its mansion. In a fit of anger, I went into the water to ask for her, but I didn't even see the monster king, and was beaten and thrown out by his subordinates. I have no choice but to... give up for the time being!"
At this point, a trace of unwillingness and hatred flashed in the man's eyes.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but sigh deeply, then stepped forward and patted the other person on the shoulder, then looked at the people and monsters who came, and said in a deep voice: "On both sides, they are... Well, you can identify them yourself!"
As he said this, he waved his hand dejectedly.
Upon seeing this, everyone and the monsters bowed to Zhao Yuan, and then respectfully bowed to Feng Changying and Chongfan behind them, and then left.
Not long after, cries of grief were heard from both sides of the river, carried in the cold wind and echoing on the river for a long time.
"Sir, what about these soul-buried corpses..." a ghost soldier said cautiously.
Feng Changying sighed inwardly upon hearing this, then he bowed to the people around him and said loudly: "Everyone, the soul-buried corpses are not formed naturally, their spirits and flesh are both evil. Opening these coffins will inevitably cause the corpses to transform into extremely evil creatures! Even the water of the Resentment-Washing River cannot wash away their resentment. If we cannot save them, we can only... kill them!"
When she mentioned the word "kill", her eyes suddenly narrowed.
Upon hearing this, someone immediately shouted, "Lord City God, what are you waiting for? There are so many monks waiting here, why don't we help them to be liberated together!"
Hearing this, Feng Changying looked towards Chongfan vaguely, but saw that the Lady of Yudu Mountain was also looking over and nodded slightly at him, and he immediately felt certain in his heart.
There were more than 300 soul-buried corpses. When the coffins were opened, each one was a very evil creature, and the longer they were, the more evil they became.
Without this person's help, things would be really difficult.
Seeing this, all the Yudu Mountain cultivators present, some of the people from the Demon Suppression Division and the Underworld Division who had some free time, as well as a few human cultivators and demon cultivators who had just arrived, flew over and surrounded the more than 300 ice coffins, surrounding them tightly. They each found a place to sit cross-legged, forming a circle.
Within the circle, Chongfan, Feng Changying and Zhao Yuan, three Yangshen-stage cultivators, were located at one corner each, faintly forming a triangle, facing the center and sitting cross-legged in mid-air.
Everyone took a deep breath and adjusted their mood, but some people couldn't calm down because of distracting thoughts in their minds.
At this moment, a faint fragrance of osmanthus came to the tip of the nose.
As soon as I smelled it, my mind suddenly became clear, my heart calmed down, and my spirit became extremely focused.
Feng Changying and Zhao Yuan nodded to Chongfan, and the three of them cast a spell at the same time to open the coffin lid.
next moment.
All the female corpses opened their eyes at the same time.
"Roar!!!"
The terrifying roar rose into the sky, causing all living creatures on both sides of the river to tremble in fear.
At the same time, a dark cloud quickly formed in the sky, and a fierce aura filled the air between heaven and earth.
However, before all the female corpses could stand up, they were pressed firmly into the ice coffin by an invisible force, and no matter how they struggled or roared, it was of no use.
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust~"
As Feng Changying, the City God of Xiangzhou, began to utter the first sentence, the other monks also began to recite the "Soul-Saving Sutra" together.
This sutra is a classic scripture specifically used to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate their resentment so that they can enter reincarnation as soon as possible.
It can be said that as long as one is a righteous cultivator, he or she will generally practice it.
"Dust to dust, earth to earth, souls shall pass away, do not leave suffering behind. The netherworld and the azure sky are all destined, the dead are gone, free from bondage."
As everyone chanted, a grand and ethereal sound resounded through the air. Countless golden runes rose from their bodies and flowed slowly into the ice coffin like golden streams.
While Chongfan was chanting, the golden wheel of merit behind him started to spin involuntarily, emitting brilliant colorful light.
The golden runes on his body suddenly became stronger!
The next moment, golden runes surged towards the center like a tide and injected into the female corpses one by one.
As the scriptures were recited, the hideous expressions on the faces of all the female corpses gradually eased.
"I recite this sutra today, hoping that you will cross over soon. The cycle of reincarnation will be open, and there will be no more sorrow."
As the scripture was recited, an endless stream of white light suddenly appeared in the sky, and a mysterious and vast aura poured down.
All the female corpses seemed to have received guidance, and their souls floated out of their bodies.
One after another, illusory figures floated in the air, with relieved smiles on their faces. They all bowed to the people below, and then rose into the sky along the white light that opened up and disappeared.
Their bodies, as if eroded by time, have all weathered into sand, no longer as beautiful as before.
Just when everyone was relieved, they heard Qin Lingshan shouting in surprise: "Master, your golden wheel... is ready!"
Hearing this, Chongfan immediately used his spiritual sense to look and saw that his golden wheel with a missing corner was really healed!
She immediately looked up at Gao Tian, a touch of emotion flashing through her heart.
-
Two days later.
Xiangzhou Demon Suppression Division.
"Report! Report to the commander! Lord Meng is here!"
Zhao Yuan seemed to have expected this. He immediately put down what he was doing and hurried out to greet him.
I had not walked far when I saw an old man with white hair, white beard, white skin, and wearing white clothes and white shoes, all in pure white, striding in.
He immediately stepped forward, bowed respectfully and said, "Master Meng."
Hearing this, the old man nodded, his eyes meaningful, "I came here to mention someone... no, a monster!"
