The Root of Evil

Chapter 254 The Root of Evil

Buddha's heart exhaled a breath of turbid air. In those days, he also broke through the four heavenly realms and reached the state of mind of the Sun Palace Emperor. When he arrived at the Marichi Heavenly Temple, he failed to achieve it, but even so, he was enough to be called a Buddha's son.

Doesn't this mean that Qin Mu also has a heart of Buddha, and is on par with him?

If Qin Mu continued to move forward and was able to break through Marichi's state of mind, wouldn't that mean that this demon's Buddha heart and nature were stronger than his?

How can the devil have more Buddha nature than a Buddhist practitioner?

They came to the Marichi Temple, and Qin Mu listened to the sutras. Not long after, flames appeared on his body.

The Buddha's heart was roaring in his head, making him confused and dazed. Qin Mu, the devil among devils, actually cultivated to the fifth level in one go. He had the same qualifications and the same Buddha's heart as the Horse King God!

How is that possible?

He is a demon, obviously a big demon. A demon cannot cultivate the Tathagata Mahayana Sutra!

The Buddha's heart and disciple calmed down. He was already the monk with the highest talent, comprehension and the best Buddha's heart in the Great Leiyin Temple in the past hundred years. He did not expect that he would be surpassed by a demon.

Everyone came to the Guizimu Heavenly Temple, and Qin Mu was finally trapped at this level and failed to cultivate the Sixth Heaven of the Tathagata Mahayana Sutra.

With Buddha's heart in despair, Qin Mu cultivated to the fifth level of the heavens in one go. This is already the qualification of Tathagata!

"If he converted to Buddhism, the master would most likely choose him as the next Tathagata..."

He was worried about gains and losses, and suddenly thought: "I can't let him become Tathagata's disciple, the next Tathagata can only be me!"

Once this thought came out, it could not be stopped.

"Buddhist son, I heard that National Master Yankang came here in the past. How many levels of cultivation did he achieve?" Qin Mu suddenly asked.

Buddha Heart and Buddha Child calmed down and said, "The National Master came here one or two hundred years ago. I heard from the elders in the temple that Tathagata accompanied him at that time, and National Master Yankang comprehended the Seventh Heaven in a short period of time."

Qin Mu was startled and shook his head, saying, "You are indeed a genius that only appears once in five hundred years. I can't compare to you."

Master Ma was also surprised and said, "Master Yankang actually comprehended the Seventh Heaven in one go? Incredible! If he entered Buddhism, he would be Tathagata; if he entered Taoism, he would be the Taoist Master; if he entered your Tiansheng Sect, he would be the Holy Sect Master! Such a talent is extremely rare!"

The blind man was also amazed and praised: "It's not unfair for the lame man to have one of his legs cut off by him."

Master Ma and the blind man led them all the way to the top floor of the Tower of Twenty Heavens. Two or three days had passed unknowingly, and Qin Mu had also listened to the Twenty Heavens Realms in the Tathagata Mahayana Sutra. He couldn't help but admire the exquisiteness of the Tathagata Mahayana Sutra, which was in no way inferior to the Dayu Heavenly Demon Sutra.

He had no intention of practicing the Tathagata Mahayana Sutra, but as one can learn from others' experience, the Tathagata Mahayana Sutra was of great reference value to him.

Buddha Heart looked at Qin Mu, his eyes flickering: "Master Qin's qualifications are not bad. Master, I showed you the Tathagata Mahayana Sutra from the Great Leiyin Temple. I wonder if I can refer to the Great Yutian Demon Sutra?"

Qin Mu took out a ball of thread from his Taotie bag and said generously, "What's the harm? The Great Cultivation Demonic Scripture can be learned by anyone in my sect, so it doesn't matter even if it's passed down to outsiders."

He pinched the thread and pulled it gently, and suddenly countless words swarmed out and rolled in the air.

Qin Mu did not hide anything and directly showed the Great Yutian Demon Sutra in front of Buddha's heart.

When Foxin saw the first sentence of the Great Yu Tian Mo Sutra, his face changed drastically, and he felt that it conflicted with the Buddhist philosophy. When he read on and saw the Seven Chapters of Creation, he couldn't help but frown and said, "This is truly a demonic technique. There is not a bit of kindness in it. It is all an evil method that teaches people to do evil! Master, please put it away. I can't stand this!"

Qin Mu was surprised and put away the Dayu Tianmo Sutra, but it was still a ball of thread.

At this moment, a monk suddenly came hurriedly and whispered something in Foxin's ear. Foxin was surprised, but then he remained calm and bowed, saying, "Three of you, it's getting late, please go back to your meditation rooms and rest."

The blind man yawned and said, "We are guests, and we should follow the host's wishes. Mu'er, Old Master Ma, let's go back to our room and rest."

The three of them walked down the tower, and the blind man suddenly said, "Just now the monk told Foxin that the prince of Yankang Kingdom has come and wants to see the old Tathagata."

Qin Mu's heart was slightly shocked. Prince Yankang?

What was Prince Yankang doing at the Leiyin Temple at this time?

What is his intention in asking to see the old Tathagata?

The blind man moved his ears and said, "Buddha Heart asked the monks to lead Prince Yankang to the Great Hall, and he went to the Thousand Buddha Pagoda to inform Tathagata... He entered the Thousand Buddha Pagoda, and I couldn't hear or see what happened inside. Tathagata came out and told the monks in the Thousand Buddha Pagoda to do their best to chant the mantra and suppress Li Tianxing in the pagoda."

Ma Ye's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "How can the Buddhist teachings of those monks suppress Li Tianxing? Tathagata was careless. The thousand Buddhas in the tower are dead. Even if the monks use mantras to activate the Buddha's body, they can't suppress Li Tianxing! Go to the Thousand Buddha Tower quickly, otherwise Li Tianxing will escape!"

The three of them hurried to the Golden Summit. Qin Mu's pace was much slower than theirs. Passing by his own room, he saw Long Qilin still lying there soundly sleeping, and the old monk next to him was still chanting to Long Qilin.

"Fatty Dragon!"

Qin Mu shouted hastily, and Long Qilin woke up immediately and ran over here, leaving the old monk behind. The old monk angrily said, "You evil beast, you don't have any wisdom at all!"

Qin Mu turned over and jumped onto Long Qilin's back, saying, "Go to the Golden Summit as fast as you can!"

Long Qilin said: "Master, you haven't come back in the past few days, and you haven't given me food yet."

Qin Mu shouted, "Go to the Golden Summit as soon as possible, and I'll give you two buckets!"

Long Qilin was greatly encouraged and rushed towards the Golden Summit frantically.

The Golden Summit Thousand Buddha Pagoda houses the flesh bodies of the Buddhas from past generations. Outside the pagoda, monks sit on the eaves, top, doors and windows, using Buddhist mantras to stimulate the vitality of the Buddhas' flesh bodies in the pagoda.

In those flesh bodies, the Buddhist mantras turned into tangible words that flew through the tower like huge dragons, and rushed into the brows of Granny Si, suppressing and refining the inner demon Li Tianxing.

In the past few days, the old Tathagata personally led the monks to use the Buddha nature hidden in the flesh of successive Tathagatas to suppress and refine Li Tianxing. It has been quite effective. Li Tianxing's spirit has been greatly consumed, and Granny Si has been waking up more and more often.

That was why he dared to leave without any worries and leave it to the monks to suppress it. After all, there were so many flesh-and-blood bodies of past Buddhas sitting in the pagoda.

However, at this moment, Granny Si's pupils suddenly became extremely dark, and she giggled. A charming voice came from the tower, as if a lover whispering in an ear, and penetrated into the ears of the monks outside the tower and into their hearts. Suddenly, the monks' hearts were in chaos, and demons began to grow in their hearts.

"Hold on!"

An old monk shouted, "Don't listen to her voice!"

Just as he finished speaking, a beautiful face suddenly popped out from the tower and smiled at him foolishly. The old monk felt a demon in his heart, and the Buddha's light behind his head suddenly dimmed and he fell from the tower.

“Oh no!”

Another old monk chanted the Buddha's name loudly, raised his palm and stretched out two fingers to dig out his eyes, intending to avoid looking at Granny Si's appearance. He became ruthless and dug out his eyes, but a light laugh came from his ears again, drilling into the Buddha's heart and scratching.

The old monk gritted his teeth and thrust two fingers into his ears, piercing his eardrums to stop him from hearing her voice.

The old monk's face and head were covered in blood. He chanted Buddhist scriptures loudly, stirring the flesh bodies of successive Buddhas in the pagoda. He could not hear or see anything, and did not see the monks falling from the pagoda one after another, nor did he hear the sound of their bodies hitting the ground.

Suddenly, he felt a soft, delicate hand, gently caressing his face and his bald head with just the right temperature.

The old monk's body trembled, the Buddha's light behind his head collapsed, and he fell from the Thousand Buddha Pagoda.

Qin Mu urged Long Qilin to rush to the Golden Summit, only to see the monks on the Thousand Buddha Pagoda falling down in pieces. Master Ma and the blind man rose into the air and chased after Granny Si who had escaped the suppression of the Thousand Buddha Pagoda.

The three of them were extremely fast and disappeared in a flash. Even Long Qilin could not catch up with them.

Qin Mu was stunned: "You guys..."

The Golden Summit was in a mess. Master Ma and the Blind Man were not there. He was the only one left sitting alone on the back of the Dragon Unicorn.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "I don't know if the Great Leiyin Temple is willing to let me, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, go back. It feels bad to enter the enemy camp alone, without an adult to support me..."

The old Tathagata had just sat down in the main hall and had not had time to exchange a few words with Prince Yankang when a monk came quickly to report, "Buddha, Li Tianxing has escaped!"

The old Tathagata was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I underestimated him. I thought that as a dignified demon leader, he would not bother to learn the art of enchantment, but I didn't expect that he had a hidden trick. Since I have not suppressed and refined him, then let the demon leader go down the mountain."

Prince Yankang was surprised and asked, "The leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect is in the Great Leiyin Temple? Is he Qin Mu, the Zhongsan Doctor of our dynasty?"

The old Tathagata nodded and said, "It is him."

Prince Yankang was overjoyed and said, "Buddha, this man is the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect. He has committed many evil deeds. We must not let him go. It is better to eliminate this evil for the world on the mountain!"

The old Tathagata shook his head and said, "He came to the mountain to ask for something from me, so I kept him here. Now that I have not fulfilled his request, I will allow him to leave the mountain and you cannot stop him. We cannot act like a demon when doing things in the Great Leiyin Temple."

Before Prince Yankang could say anything more, the Buddha-hearted Buddhist quickly stood up and said, "Buddha, I will go and see Master Qin off the mountain."

The old Tathagata nodded, looked at Prince Yankang, and said, "Prince, I know your purpose and what you are up to. It is because it concerns the lives of the people that I came here in a hurry to meet you, and was taken advantage of by Li Tianxing. Master Qiong and the others should have seen you, right?"

Prince Yankang nodded and said, "They can't do anything to my father, so I beg the Buddha to help."

The old Tathagata smiled and said, "Your Majesty has already cultivated the Nine Dragon Emperor Technique to the extreme. There are indeed not many people in the world who can do anything to Your Majesty, and this old monk is one of them."

At this time, the Buddha Heart Buddha came to see Qin Mu, his eyes flashing, and said: "Master Qin, the Buddha ordered me to take you down the mountain."
