Chapter 208 King Zhangming
Chapter 208 King Zhangming
Last time we talked about how Zhang Hongchen angered the undertaker, so who is this mysterious and evil old woman? Let’s read on.
After the undertaker finished speaking, she raised her hand and pointed. Suddenly, a huge rock rose up from the place where the three rivers met. The rock rose to mid-air and then smashed towards Zhang Hongchen!
Zhang Hongchen dodged hurriedly, but the boulder was moving at an incredibly fast speed. Zhang Hongchen's spiritual power was sealed, and he was about to be beaten into a pulp. Li Yi took action. He summoned the twenty-meter-tall image of Acalanatha, caught the boulder with his eight arms, and then slowly put it down.
The undertaker stood there in shock as she looked at Li Yi's Purple Gold Acala Dharma Image, and even her walking stick fell to the ground. "Miao...Yin...it's really you!"
Li Yi retracted his Dharma image and walked around the boulder to the funeral woman, only to see that the wrinkled old woman was actually in tears. He and Zhang Hongchen were both puzzled. Zhang Hongchen asked, "Hey, crazy woman, are you sick? You knew that my spiritual power was sealed by this guy, but you still threw such a big stone at me!"
The undertaker ignored Zhang Hongchen, stretched out her hand to hold Li Yi, and asked in a trembling voice: "Do you know the "Brahma Wonderful Sound Sutra"? "
Li Yi nodded in surprise and said, "Yes. When the Shura Palace besieged Lingyin Temple, I received this scripture by chance. What's so special about this scripture?"
The undertaker said in a trembling voice: "Recite it to me quickly!"
Zhang Hongchen said unhappily: "Mortal, you are an evil cultivator, why do you want to listen to Buddhist scriptures? Aren't you afraid..."
Li Yi stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Hongchen to shut up, and helped the coffin woman sit down against the boulder, then sat cross-legged and began to recite the "Brahma Wonderful Sound Sutra". As he recited, the Buddha's Dharma emanated from Li Yi's body like clouds and mist. Strangely, the Buddha's light bypassed the coffin woman and merged into the boulder behind her.
Zhang Hongchen looked at the boulder in amazement, while the funeral lady looked at Li Yi with satisfaction, while Li Yi was reciting the scriptures seriously. After reciting several times, Zhang Hongchen pointed at the boulder and exclaimed: "Is the stone smaller? Is it?"
The undertaker ignored her, and Li Yi continued to chant. After a while, the traces left by Li Yi when he put the boulder on the ground were enough to prove that the stone had indeed become smaller. Zhang Hongchen walked to the boulder, touched it with his hand, and said to himself: "What on earth is this! It must not be an ordinary stone!"
The funeral mother held out her hand to signal Li Yi that it was enough. The latter stopped after reciting this time. She took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve and said to Zhang Hongchen, "Master Zhang, go and help him wipe the sweat off his face."
Zhang Hongchen said unhappily: "I helped him wipe his sweat, and he was so happy! Humph!"
Li Yi shook his head and smiled. He stood up and took the handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face. He said casually, "That stone is a Rakshasa stone. It is the result of your karma and obsession. I can help you reduce your karma and obsession by reciting the sutra. I just don't know how much time you have left. Can you hold on until this matter is resolved?"
The undertaker smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't delay your business. Even if I die, I will take those beasts to hell with me, otherwise it will be too lonely." After saying that, she was about to get up.
Li Yi immediately stepped forward to help her up, and then said to Zhang Hongchen: "We are not going back. We will stay on the island with you for the next few days."
Zhang Hongchen looked around and asked in confusion, "Live here? There is no place to live here!"
Li Yi pointed at the coffin woman's cane, signaling Zhang Hongchen to bring it over. The latter snorted coldly and turned away, pretending not to see it. Li Yi glared at her, and the latter picked up the cane helplessly and handed it to the coffin woman.
The undertaker looked at Li Yi and smiled slightly, then leaned lightly on the ground with her cane. The surrounding scenery suddenly changed. Under the bright moon, there were lush forests and bamboos. In the bamboo forest there was a courtyard with three rooms and two courtyards. Vegetables were planted in the front yard and flowers were planted in the back yard. It was a perfect place for retirement.
Zhang Hongchen asked doubtfully, "Illusion? Can this illusion also be inhabited by people?"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "This is hard to explain to you. You may say that this is an illusion, but the things here really exist. Senior just moved things from other dimensions here. Forget it, it's hard to explain, so I'll draw a picture to explain it to you."
Afterwards, Li Yi used points, lines, surfaces, and bodies to explain the three-dimensional space. When Zhang Hongchen roughly understood it, he said, "Senior has spent five hundred years traveling through different dimensions and different times just to find one person, and I am very similar to that person."
Li Yi turned to the undertaker and saluted, "But senior, I am really not the person you are looking for."
The undertaker nodded and smiled, "I know. I have seen through everything when I heard you chanting. Come on, the two of you should accompany me on this final journey."
Zhang Hongchen frowned and said, "Mother, are you going to die?"
The undertaker shook her head and smiled, "I'm not going to die, but I'm going back to the place where I was born and raised."
Zhang Hongchen asked, "Were you born in hell?"
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "No, she was born in the human world, but that place is now in hell. The senior was originally a princess of the Rakshasa Kingdom."
Zhang Hongchen asked in confusion: "How do you know this?"
Li Yi shook his head and smiled: "I can't explain it, but I just know that these things came into my mind inexplicably."
"Forget it. I can't figure this out anyway. It's getting late. Let's all go back and rest. By the way, what about the folk art festival?"
Li Yi made a seal with his hands and chanted a spell. The red mark on Zhang Hongchen's body receded like a tide, flowing along the ground to Li Yi's right wrist and turned into a red rope with a small golden lock on it.
Zhang Hongchen asked in confusion: "You just removed the soul-sealing lock like this, aren't you afraid that I will run away?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I have other things to tie you up." The undertaker certainly didn't understand what he said, but Zhang Hongchen snorted lightly and walked towards the courtyard. Li Yi supported the undertaker and followed.
In the following days, apart from practicing, eating and sleeping during the day, Li Yi chanted sutras for the coffin lady. The huge stone became smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye every day. In sharp contrast, the coffin lady aged at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even her hair was almost falling out. She herself did not care, and still listened to Li Yi chanting sutras with a smile every day.
Zhang Hongchen basically finalized the matter of the folk art conference. She left the island to do things during the day and came back at night. From time to time, she would sneak into Li Yi's room under the cover of night. Soon it was the agreed time. The people of Shura Palace came to the hill north of the river as agreed. It is said that this is the place where Fan Li retired, so it is called Lishan. Speaking of Fan Li, there is a beauty that cannot be ignored, and it is naturally Xi Shi.
It is hard to say whether this beauty really existed, but she definitely had nothing to do with the struggle for hegemony between Wu and Yue. No official history has ever mentioned this beauty, and the books that mention her do not match the dates of the books. However, Feng Lin personally still likes the love story made up for Xi Shi and Fan Li by later generations.
I've gone off topic again. So there are many things related to Fan Li on this Lishan Mountain, including ancestral halls and sacrificial temples. But as time passed and the war spread, the sacrificial temples on Lishan Mountain have become dilapidated. Zhang Hongchen led Li Yi and the funeral mother to this dilapidated temple, turned the mechanism, and the floor opened to reveal a tunnel.
The three of them walked along the tunnel for a while and came to the real Shura Palace. Li Yi was standing at the bottom of the steps, supporting the undertaker, while the beautiful and charming Zhang Tangzhu, who was wearing a red dress, was sitting on the throne with her legs crossed, looking at Li Yi below with an expression of contempt.
Li the talented looked at Zhang Hongchen with a sidelong glance, thinking: Damn, she really has the airs of a queen. If there is a chance to show off here, ah, just thinking about it makes me feel good! Ugh! Li Yi, are you still a human being? What kind of occasion and time is this? How could you still have such a dirty mind! Despicable! But, it's not against the law, right? Hehehe...
Just when Li Yi was daydreaming, Xu Li and the people from Youling Hall came from another secret door with the people from Shura Hall. There were so many people, at least 400 of them. Facing so many evil cultivators, the righteousness in Li Yi's body was like boiling water, making him fidget as if he had a stomachache.
The undertaker noticed that Li Yi was feeling uncomfortable and said casually, "You don't have to support me. I can hold on. You should stay beside her." Li Yi saluted and went on stage. He felt a little more comfortable when he stood behind Zhang Hongchen.
After the inventory was completed, Zhang Hongchen selected a new hall master as planned. It is worth mentioning that Xu Li became the new hall master of Ghost Blade Hall. Of course, there are really not many people in the new Ghost Blade Hall, and there are only twelve people including Xu Li.
The new head of Jifa Hall was a tall and strong man, known as Lu Zhenshan, the Hairless Bear. Although he looked fierce, he was very careful and kept asking questions, even asking how Zhang Hongchen defeated Li Yi.
Fortunately, Xu Li testified and told the story of the fight between Hadir and Li Yi, saying that Hadir subdued Li Yi and handed him over to Zhang Hongchen, so they were able to get away with it. After all, Hadir was an unfathomable existence to everyone in Shura Palace, and even Luo Yan's master was taught by Hadir.
The new leader of Xuanji Hall is appointed by the funeral mother, because all the masters of Xuanji Hall were killed by the Taoist priests of Dizong. Now they can't even forge the Ghost Blade. There is not much difference between having it and not having it. They can only refine some low-level magical tools, which are not practical at all.
Youling Hall suffered the least damage and became the absolute main hall. The new hall master was a middle-aged man who performed shadow puppetry, known as Shadow Monkey Yuan Liang.
Just when everyone thought that Zhang Hongchen would naturally become the new leader of Shura Palace, an accident happened as expected.
A short and fat man jumped out. His name was Five-foot Tiger Chang Biao. He asked Zhang Hongchen to give herself to him in front of everyone, and then he would be the boss of Shura Palace.
Although everyone was stunned, no one laughed at him, because this guy was indeed a ruthless person! This was not the first time he expressed his love to Zhang Hongchen. He was originally a member of Youling Hall, but when he expressed his love last time, he was severely taught a lesson by Zhang Hongchen, and kicked him out of Youling Hall and went to Jifa Hall to be a thug.
The battle was fierce and was widely circulated within Shura Hall. It could be said to be the strongest battle since the competition for the position of hall master. Both sides were really angry and it almost became a life-and-death battle.
Zhang Hongchen looked at Chang Biao and said coldly, "Chang Zhuozi, are you looking for death? If I wasn't short of manpower right now, I would definitely tear you apart with my own hands!"
Chang Biao said disapprovingly, "I lost the last battle because I was too soft-hearted. I was afraid of hurting your face. This time is different! You and I are already on par with each other. I have obtained a lot of good things in the past few years in Jifa Hall. I am confident that I can easily defeat you. Even if I hurt you, I can help you recover! Why are you afraid? Don't you dare to accept my challenge?"
Zhang Hongchen was about to lose his temper when he suddenly turned to look at Li Yi and reached out to touch Li Yi's buttocks playfully: "Chang Zhuozi, do you think you are the only one who got the good stuff? This Li Yi who killed Luo Yan and the three hall masters is my new toy. Do you dare to fight him?"
Chang Biao was shocked at first, but then he said seriously, "Since he killed so many people in Shura Palace, why did you keep him by your side instead of killing him?"
Zhang Hongchen smiled and said, "Because he serves me so well, I can't bear to kill him! Besides..." Zhang Hongchen stretched out his hand and gestured to Li Yi, who took out the measuring ruler and threw it to the side of the stage and inserted it deeply into the ground.
Zhang Hongchen said coldly: "If someone can control this magic weapon, you can kill him, you can give it a try! If no one can use it, then we can only keep it to split the Yaquan boundary monument."
Chang Biao stepped forward and tried to pull out the measuring ruler that had turned into an axe handle, but no matter how hard he tried, the measuring ruler remained unmoved. Several other people tried, and the result was the same.
Zhang Hongchen said, "If he didn't have this magic weapon, he wouldn't be able to kill Luo Yan! So, Chang Zhuozi, do you still want to challenge me?"
Chang Biao said sternly: "If there is no need to use the ruler, I will fight him! But we have to make a deal, if I win, you and the seat under your butt will belong to me!"
Zhang Hongchen chuckled and said, "Sure. There is only one rule in our Shura Palace. Whoever has the stronger fist has the final say. Is there anyone else who wants this position or me like Chang Zhuozi? You can all stand up now."
