Chapter 296 You Are Much Greater Braggers
It was not until the woman in white disappeared beyond the horizon that Li Keyong managed to regain his consciousness. After casting a glance at the peach blossoms all over the mountains, he looked down at the “Diamond Sutra.” All of a sudden, he felt that the scroll of the Buddhist Scripture was particularly heavy.
Li Keyong suddenly remembered that he still did not know the woman’s name. He supposed that with such a fascinating figure, she must have a nice name.
There were footsteps coming from behind. Li Keyong looked back and found that the abbot of the temple came over.
Previously, this old monk lowered his head with his eyes half shutting. But now, the abbot looked quite mild. He impressed Li Keyong with solemn and holy feelings, and his aura at present was entirely different from what he had before. It seemed as if he was suddenly enlightened and become a Buddha after watching the 50 kilometers of peach blossoms fade and casting several glances at the unfathomable woman.
“Prince, you are the predestined man. Since the Bodhisattva left you this scroll of Diamond Sutra, I hope that you will live up to her expectations.” With folded hands, the abbot greeted Li Keyong.
Li Keyong clenched the Buddhist scripture. After a brief moment of silence, he still chose to ask, “Could you please tell me the Bodhisattva’s name?”
As the abbot looked at the place where the woman disappeared, his eyes were filled with reverence and awe. “The monastic name of the Bodhisattva is Feihong.”
“She is the Feihong Bodhisattva!” Even with his high-level mental realm and cultivation, Li Keyong was greatly shocked.
As one of the Bodhisattva in Buddhism, Feihong Bodhisattva was a symbol of wisdom and mercy. But Li Keyong had never expected that the legendary Feihong Bodhisattva would have such a wild and unbridled posture. Moreover, she would truly descend to this world in person.
In previous, the 50 kilometers of peach blossoms only gave Li Keyong some confidence in resisting Li Ye. But when he learned the monastic name of the woman, his confidence instantly became the strong will to wipe out Li Ye’s army!
This news ultimately settled Li Keyong’s nerves. In next to no time, he asked, “Before Feihong Bodhisattva left, she said that as long as I make offerings to Wutai Mountain, many Buddhas will naturally come to the world to help me. Is that true?”
The abbot revealed a mysterious smile. “Feihong Bodhisattva never makes a promise she cannot keep.”
Once again, Li Keyong was startled.
Buddhas descended to the earth meant that immortals would become incarnate!
Since those Buddhas came to the world last time, a lot of years had passed!
All of a sudden, Li Keyong realized that the war in Hedong was not as simple as it looked.
But this thought made Li Keyong felt very absurd. He was in charge of Hedong, but he didn’t even know the real purpose that Li Ye came to his place to start a war.
...
In the dim light of dawn, Li Ye strolled on the official road.
Unlike Weibo that had a vast expanse of flat land, Hedong had a very rugged terrain. Moreover, the morning sun here never came up from the horizon but the tops of the mountains. Covering his forehead, Li Ye looked up at the red sun hanging above the forests. Suddenly, he got a strange feeling.
Here was the border between Luzhou and Qinzhou. After passing the mountain before them, they will be in Qinzhou.
Li Ye stopped, and so did Nangong Diyi and the Son of God. The three of them looked up and landed their eyes on the forest of the mountain under the red sun.
In a semi-lying posture, someone sat on a treetop. Well, the person was more like floating. Black hair poured down like a waterfall. Those clothes flowing with the wind, the person lifted a wine pot and was pouring the wine into the mouth.
In front of the red rays of the morning, the person’s figure was dark and obscure. So, they could only see the outline of the person’s body, but could not see the person’s appearance. However, just because of this, Li Ye and others could directly view the person’s wildness. It seemed that the spring flying out of the wine pot remained still, but in fact, it was moving continuously, glittering in the sunglow.
“Who is this? Such a graceful style is rare in the world!” The Son of God sighed with respect.
Holding the Awaken Sword, Nangong Diyi raised his chin and squinted at the Son of God. He snorted coldly, “Some people in this world always like to act an elegant demeanor! Without such kind of people, the world was peaceful and quiet. But as more people are coming out to play immortals nowadays, the moral of the time is getting worse day by day.”
While pointing to others, Nangong Diyi actually cursed the Son of God, but Nangong Diyi did it in such a straightforward way that the Son of God got it immediately. Turning around, the Son of God retorted, “No one can compare with you in pretending an elegant demeanor. Look at you! You almost raise your chin high in the sky! So what? Do you think that you can soothe the world by your chin or what?”
Nangong Diyi had a bad temper. The Son of God’s words immediately sent him into a rage. Clenching the Awaken Sword, Nangong Diyi glared at him. “Do you want to try me, big bird? I cannot calm down the world, but cannot I pin you down?”
Like a cat whose feet were stepped on, the Son of God suddenly jumped up. “Who are you calling a big bird? Believe it or not, I can slap you to the edge of the sky at once.”
Seeing that he successfully irritated the Son of God, Nangong Diyi was fully satisfied, and he sneered. “You are indeed a big bird. Are you going to slap me with your wings? Well, next, do you want to give me a peck by using your sharp beak?”
“Stop arguing!” Their noise befuddled Li Ye, so he snorted coldly. “Those who are eager to fight, there comes your opponents.”
After throwing an unconvinced glare at each other, Nangong Diyi and the Son of God hummed coldly in unison and turned around to check.
The person pouring the wine was still there, drinking, but two people with children’s appearances had already walked out of the woods. Stepping in the air, they went straight from the mountain peak to Li Ye and the other two. One step the two of them walked in the air could be as long as 100 meters. As if they had stairs under their feet, they walked up to Li Ye and others and stopped about a hundred paces before them.
As they stood still in mid-air, the two lovable children seemed to be sculpted by jade. Their appearance could make people think of Buddhas or immortals. When they looked down at Li Ye and others from a height, their eyes were full of compassionate feelings as if they were looking at those suffering mortals. There was no doubt that they would use their magical power to warm the world by removing disasters for humans or by bestowing blessings.
Even the children that came over to them could have such a high cultivation level and bearing. One could imagine how powerful their master would be.
Li Ye couldn’t help shaking his head and laughing. “Accompanied by such two high-end children, don’t tell me that the person is not an Immortal or a Bodhisattva because I won’t believe it.”
It was supposed to be a joke. Li Ye thought that Nangong Diyi and the Son of God would echo his views, but he hadn’t heard any movement for a long time. When he looked back, he saw the solemn faces of the Son of God and Nangong Diyi. They looked as though they confronted a formidable enemy.
Grasping his hilt, Nangong Diyi had already accumulated his power and was waiting for action. As for the Son of God, surrounded by a black aura, he showed the posture as if he were ready for a fight. When he bickered with Nangong Diyi, he had never taken the initiative to release the evil aura even when they were at loggerheads and were about to fight.
Li Ye patted his forehead and felt that the nervous reactions of them had greatly humiliated him. Up until now, their opponents hadn’t made any movement or even said a word, but they still scared Nangong Diyi and the Son of God. In an instant, Li Ye felt that he wouldn’t get a decent opening show for some time in the future.
When Nangong Diyi saw Li Ye’s carefree face, his lips twisted a little because of surprise. The Son of God blurted out, “Both of the two guys are Yang Spiritual Masters. Don’t tell me that you didn’t notice that. When immortals descend to the earth, their cultivation level will plunge. But after going through that, the two children with the Bodhisattva can still have such a high cultivation level. In this case, hadn’t it never occurred to you who is their master, and what is their master’s cultivation level?”
Li Ye shrugged. “Feihong Bodhisattva?”
“Exactly!” The Son of God gritted his teeth.
Li Ye said in wonder, “When Immortals get down to the world, they should first go through the Kunlun Channel. According to the channel’s rules, the higher the Immortals’ cultivation level is, the weaker they will become when they come down to earth. It is very likely that they cannot get back at all. Could Land Buddhism be so generous that it was willing to send Feihong Bodhisattva to our world? Is it possible that the person is only a disciple of Feihong Bodhisattva who only posed to be her?”
But the Son of God was in no mood to joke, and he seemed to be under enormous pressure. With knitted brows, he said, “She is the real Feihong Bodhisattva! You’d better run. I can still block them for a moment. If you are fast enough, you can go to look for the Monkey King! Although he won’t intervene in these things, he may save your life if you beg him!”
Li Ye opened his mouth. For a time, he didn’t even know what he was going to say. Curling up the corner of his mouth, he looked at the Son of God. “Is our situation so serious now that you even need to give up your life to uphold righteousness?”
The Son of God glared at Li Ye bitterly. “After all, I am the Son of God, so she will not kill me. But you are different... Are you stupid? Why are you still here talking to me?!”
“He doesn’t need to run. It’s only a useless struggle.”
Just then, the child who stood on the left started to talk lightly.
His voice was very flat. Obviously, he thought that he was able to show his unapproachable majesty even without speaking in a harsh tone. As he was speaking, he only glanced at Li Ye for a second and looked away, regaining his dignified and mild manner. It was evident that he thought Li Ye didn’t worth his second glance.
As for the Son of God and Nangong Diyi, he did not even bother to look at them.
The child in front of them appeared to be only seven or eight years old. The eyes on the child’s delicate pink face looked as shining as the black obsidian, but no one could tell the child’s gender. When the child began to talk, he revealed an old voice. Li Ye found it was very amusing, so he couldn’t help joking, “Naughty child, you acted so arrogantly. Will your mother spank your ass for that?”
After saying this, Li Ye burst into laughter first.
However, he was the only one who was laughing here.
Moreover, his abrupt laughter sounded very awkward.
Thus, Li Ye had to stop laughing, and he became angry from embarrassment. He turned back and glared at the Son of God and Nangong Diyi. “Cannot you two cooperate with me a little more?”
The Son of God answered, “Hehe.”
In all seriousness, Nangong Diyi said, “When did you see me laughing?”
Suddenly, a trembling sword sound echoed in the field. It seemed that his Awaken Sword was eager to get out of its sheath because the two children were looking at Li Ye with an evident killing intention. Besides, their faces turned extremely gloomy. They now wore a murderous look on their faces. In Li Ye’s eyes, they looked much like the little ghosts on the earth in these crudely made horror movies.
On the right, the child who looked more like a girl also began to talk while staring at Li Ye. When she spoke, her two long teeth were exposed. At this moment, her originally loveable look became particularly gloomy. “You mortals even dared to speak rudely before Feihong Bodhisattva. You are deserved to die!”
With a murderous look, the boy on the left nodded. “You are deserved to die!”
As their voices fell, the two of them reached out at the same time. The centers of their meaty hands were glistening with golden light. In an instant, a blooming lotus flower formed. The wind didn’t rise, nor did the clouds begin to gather. And there was no flying sand or rolling pebbles. They were only two vivid lotus flowers.
However, at the moment when the lotus flowers became visible, Nangong Diyi’s bones started to make a crunching sound. It seemed that those bones couldn’t bear some heavy burden. Black aura was surging around the Son of God’s body. Finally, the burning aura barely stabilized his vigor.
At this time, the sun rose a little higher, and half an hour had passed. Feihong Bodhisattva on the treetop of the forest still reclined there, drinking. It seemed that the wine in her wine pot was endless, and she also would never drink enough.
Nangong Diyi was the first one that couldn’t bear the pressure. After he uttered a low growl, the Awaken Sword darted out of the sheath. He launched the “Three Buyue swords” attack, and his sword cut right at the boy on the right!
The Son of God did not wait any longer. He decided to strike first. After a roar, he rushed out, and his Invincible Painted Halberd emerged in his hand. Together with his towering black aura, the Son of God swung it to the little girl on the left!
But the two children did not move at all. With indifferent looks, they curved their mouth corners into a sneer. The shinning golden lotuses in their hands abruptly flew out and hit at Nangong Diyi and the Son of God!
Nangong Diyi was the first to suffer. Little by little, the cutting movement of his sword became sluggish, and the sword directly stopped in the end. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t bring his sword down! What was worse, his blood spilled out from his mouth corners, and his arms started to tremble!
The Son of God’s situation was better, but the lotus also blocked his Invincible Painted Halberd. His black aura sharply gushed out of his body like tides. However, his halberd couldn’t move an inch further. Instead, his face turned ghastly pale.
The boy and the girl looked at each other and smiled. Once again, their eyes landed on the Son of God and Nangong Diyi, but now they looked at them as if they were looking at two dying ants. “So they are mortals! They dared to make trouble with such little strength. How over-confident you are! And you two can go to die now!”
All of a sudden, the golden light of the lotus became increasingly brilliant!
The looks of Nangong Diyi and the Son of God also changed dramatically!
At this moment, Li Ye, who had been looking at them with his hands clasped behind, couldn’t help shaking his head and clicking his tongue. “You are much greater braggers than me, who is only a rookie in putting on airs. I cannot compare with you monsters that have cultivated for thousands of years. Even your boys and girls are better than me in give themselves airs. “But there is one thing that I am good at. The thing is much simpler and ruder. Well, that is...”
Li Ye reached out and gave the girl on the left a slap. Right after that, he slapped the boy on the right with the back of his hand in passing. With his movement, a cyan palm popped up before the two children. It appeared out of blue so that they widened their eyes with a terrifying surprise!
But before they could react, the cyan palm slapped left and right. The golden light broke up, and the lotus flowers perished! “Pa! Pa!” With two crisp sounds, each of them got a slap in the face, and there appeared a red palm print with clear five fingers! Suddenly, the two children couldn’t stand steady anymore. Their heads tilted, and they spat out a mouthful of teeth with the foam of blood. They staggered to one side and flew hundreds of meters away sideward while screaming!
“Plop! Plop!” Two landing noises came. The two children must have fallen into some grass or forest. Since then, they never climbed up to show themselves.
After taking back his hands, Li Ye clasped his hands at his back indifferently and said lightly, “A nice slap in your face!”
Nangong Diyi’s “Three Buyue swords” had already finished. His sword cut into the ground with a cloud of dust rising around it. The Son of God’s Invincible Painted Halberd stabbed on the ground and made a big hole. Then, at a fast speed, the soil blocks and stones rose up into the air.
The two men had used up all their moves. At the same time, their bodies stiffened. With great effort, they turned around to look at Li Ye. To their great surprise, Li Ye stood with hands clasped behind like he had done nothing. They stared at Li Ye as if they had never known him and looked much more frightened than the two children!
