Chapter 167: Crisis at Lingyin (Part )

Last time, we talked about Bodhidharma taking away King Shura, but the people of Shura Palace started a massacre at Lingyin Temple, and the officers and soldiers who arrived at the scene unexpectedly chose to stand by and watch. So can Lingyin Temple survive this crisis? Let's read on.

The people of Shura Hall did not panic when they saw the soldiers surrounding Lingyin Temple. The forty or so evil cultivators from Yemao Mountain looked at the remaining 300 people from Lingyin Temple like lambs. At this time, two people slowly fell between the two groups. Li Yi recognized one of them. It was Qiu Xiong, the leader of the Ghost Blade Hall of Shura Hall, who had fought with him before.

Before Li Yi had time to be surprised at how Qiu Xiong escaped from the thunder magic of Mo Zhai Zhenren Wang Youjun, he was frightened by another person next to Qiu Xiong.

The woman was wearing a long pink peach-flower dress, a skirt with a ribbon tied around her waist, golden hairpins in her hair, and step-shaking ornaments on both sides. Her face was painted pale with gouache, and she also applied blush, and most importantly, there was yellow paste on her forehead. She was pretty, but her long eyebrows that were almost connected made Li Yi feel very uncomfortable.

The main reason why Li Yi was unhappy with this man was that he was a grown man, a real cross-dresser! He thought to himself: No way, is it so popular to be a cross-dresser in this era? I really can't accept it! I thought my worldview was different in this era, but this guy in front of me really refreshed my cognition. Is he a transvestite or a pervert? Li Yi subconsciously shuddered.

Li Yi was still cursing in his heart when the pervert spoke first. He looked at Li Yi and threw him a coquettish look, then smiled and said, "Are you Venerable Miaoyin? I heard that you are very knowledgeable about music. I am He Huan, the top actress of Youling Hall in Shura Palace. I would like to play the zither and sing with you and discuss music."

This He Huan is not only a famous actor, but also the strongest fighter of Youling Hall. He came to participate in the battle with his men under the order of Youling Hall's leader Zhang Hongchen.

Li Yi kept rubbing his arms and cursing, "Get away from me, you pervert! I get goose bumps all over my body just by looking at you, and you're still playing the piano! Play your sister! If you have a pretty sister, ask her to come, get as far away from me as possible now!"

Cui Zhi covered her mouth and smiled, "Sir, this is a Zhuang Dan. The nobles in Nanliang like them very much. This He Huan is a famous Zhuang Dan and is widely sought after."

Li Yi was surprised when he heard this: "What? The Southern Liang Confucianism and Taoism claim to be orthodox, but they actually allow such a sissy to exist? They are so shameless!"

Cui Zhi muttered, "Transvestite? The name Gongzi is very appropriate. I heard that many makeup girls, no, transvestites like men! I think this He Huan in front of me is probably interested in Gongzi."

Li Yi spat and cursed, "Bah! I'll kill him first, so I don't feel sick when I see him!"

Jiang Hongyu interrupted, "I never thought that the famous actress He Huan was actually an evil cultivator. You better be careful. I heard that his soft sword is unpredictable and it's hard to figure out how he strikes."

Li Yi sneered and laughed softly, "Don't worry, you won't take on a job unless you have the right tools, especially since this is a fake! Master Kong Wen, the guy next to you holding the five-colored five-bladed halberd is called Qiu Xiong, the head of the Ghost Blade Hall. He is quite powerful, and even Wang Youjun, the Master of Mozhai, couldn't kill him. Are you sure you can handle him?"

Kong Wen shook his head and said, "I am not good at fighting with others, so I am not sure, but today we must live and die with Lingyin Temple no matter what."

Li Yi nodded and said, "Then please hold on for a while, Master Kong Wen. I will deal with that fake girl as soon as possible, and then I will deal with him together with you."

Kongwen raised the bowl in one hand and made a Buddhist salute with the other hand, shouting: "Amitabha, today is a catastrophe for my Lingyin Temple. All monks and Lao Na must protect Buddhism together!" With the monks' unanimous response, the final battle began.

Li Yi summoned the six-armed Acalanatha Dharmadhatu and rushed directly towards He Huan. The latter dodged and said with a smile: "Hey, why are you so anxious, Venerable? Let me...ah..." Li Yi's rush to him was just a pretext. He was not originally aiming at He Huan himself, but the ribbon around his waist.

Although He Huan dodged the attack just now, Li Yi had six arms after all, so it would be enough if he could catch it with one hand! Li Yi grabbed the ribbon and pulled it hard, then punched He Huan in the face. He Huan quickly drew out the soft sword from his waist and swung it with his wrist. The soft sword wrapped around Li Yi's arm like a silver snake and stabbed at his ribs.

With the protection of the Acala, this sword naturally couldn't hurt Li Yi, but his ribs were pierced and his fist still missed. Fortunately, he grabbed He Huan's collar with his arms behind his back, and then Li Yi threw He Huan out like throwing a discus, which was why He Huan screamed. Li Yi threw this guy away naturally to fight him in a one-on-one duel to avoid distraction, and Master Kongwen also adopted the same strategy and led Qiu Xiong to Feilai Peak.

He Huan used his martial arts strength to stabilize his body and landed steadily on the ground. He then danced and sang while waiting for Li Yi. The latter arrived as expected. He Huan smiled and said, "Your Excellency, I would like to sing a solo for you, "The Complaint of an Actor". This is my best piece!"

Li Yi cursed, "Get the hell out of here! Who wants to listen to your screams? I'm very busy!"

He Huan raised his hand to stroke his sleeves and half covered his face, and smiled softly, "Your Excellency, you must combine work and rest. No matter how busy you are, you must listen to music to relax, right? And just as you said, my song "The Complaint of an Actor" is really like the cry of a ghost!"

After He Huan finished speaking and chanting, he suddenly turned around, changed into a costume with cloud sleeves, and then swung out his long sleeves to attack Li Yi. The cloud sleeves were sometimes long and sometimes short, sometimes a whip, sometimes a sword, matching He Huan's dance steps, just like: straight like a sword, curved like a bow, winding like a snake, soaring like a dragon, waving like rain, dancing like wind.

This operation was just as Jiang Hongyu said, unpredictable, endless, and impossible to figure out his moves. The key was that every time Li Yi tore off his cloud sleeves, the cloud sleeves would recover as before, which was really a headache.

Li Yi was thinking about countermeasures. He was not good at martial arts skills to begin with. If he continued to fight against this old veteran, he would definitely lose!

Do I need to use the Red Lotus Karma Fire? Not to mention that it consumes too much energy, facing his strange body movements, whether I can hit him is another matter. Got it!

Li Yi, who had come up with a countermeasure, deliberately distanced himself. At this time, the opponent had long arms, so he should have fought in close combat. His abnormal operation was obviously a trick. He Huan was naturally not fooled, and immediately threw out his cloud sleeves to try to entangle Li Yi and pull him back to close combat, but he never thought that Li Yi was waiting for this entanglement!

This is the prediction of your prediction. Li Yi seized the opportunity to cast the bag spell and sucked He Huan's cloud sleeves into the bag. This was a way to break the spell. He Huan frowned, because he could feel that the sack was like a bottomless pit. No matter how he stretched his cloud sleeves, he could not find out the depth. He wanted to pull it out but couldn't.

With no other choice, He Huan could only give up the cloud sleeves, and once again, he made hand gestures and chanted a spell, then turned around and changed into a general's uniform, carrying four red, yellow, blue and green command flags on his back, which looked very much like the flags carried by military generals in Peking Opera, but the difference was that the four characters "wood, water, fire and earth" were written on the flags.

Li Yi thought: Damn, I can see you are an actor, you change into a set of clothes, wood, water, fire and earth, are you going to fight? Humph, I won't give you a chance! Come on, Wing Chun, Ip Man, let's learn more!

Li Yi didn't really know how to perform Wing Chun, he just copied what was done. Li Yi jumped in front of He Huan the moment he turned around, and punched him in the chest with a series of small punches. This combination of punches was quite fierce, after all, it was a continuous attack of six arms and six punches. Even though He Huan crossed his hands to protect his chest, he couldn't resist, and he was beaten until he vomited blood.

He Huan covered his chest and stared at Li Yi, cursing: "You are playing dirty tricks!"

Li Yi made a vague expression and then laughed: "Lululu, all is fair in war, and all is fair in the sea. The Confucian way of trickery, learn about it, this fight also requires brains!"

He Huan's face darkened and he said, "Boy, I wanted you to die quickly, but you forced me to do this!"

After He Huan finished speaking, he pinched his fingers and chanted a spell. Suddenly, a large number of wandering souls and scattered spirits appeared around him and kept gathering towards him. After absorbing all of them, his face turned pale, his eyes turned blue, and even his words turned into the wailing of thousands of ghosts. He danced and said, "I am different from others. I feed on resentment. There are many wandering souls and scattered spirits, and no one competes with me for food. That's why I can become the number one fighting force in Youling Hall."

Li Yi snorted coldly: "Humph, if I hadn't used up all my righteous energy before, how could a wandering spirit like you get close to me!"

He Huan shook his head and said, "You don't seem to understand what I said. I said that I feed on resentment, not the remaining spiritual power of these wandering souls. In terms of spiritual power alone, I am much stronger than that reckless man Qiu Xiong! So it is very wise for you to choose to come to me first!"

Li Yi spat, "Ah! I just don't like you. You are not manly at all!"

He Huan laughed and said, "It doesn't matter whether Your Excellency likes it or not, but I really like Your Excellency! Thinking of Your Excellency's unwillingness and helplessness before his death, I feel so soft! Hehehe! The curse of the venerable spirit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, He Huan's eyes changed, and a huge black shadow appeared out of thin air behind him. It was an existence that gave people a sense of oppression, made people restless, and made them feel extremely ominous.

As He Huan launched the charge, the black shadow followed him in the attack. Even though Li Yi was using the six-armed Acalanatha Dharmakaya, he could only barely hold on, and the black shadow could hit Li Yi from all angles. The places where the Dharmakaya was hit by the black shadow would lose their light, and it would take a while to recover.

After more than a dozen rounds, Li Yi's Acalanatha image became like blackened gold that had lost its original Buddha light.

Li Yi knew that he couldn't continue fighting like this, so he ignored He Huan's full-strength attack with his soft sword and forcibly repelled the latter. He then leaped back several feet to create some distance between them.

Li Yi was panting heavily. Logically, he had only fought for a short while, so he should not be so tired. But now he felt like he had been fighting for a long time, exhausted both physically and mentally. He thought to himself: What's going on? Could it be that my mental strength has not recovered? This shouldn't be the case! I have understood the methods of Brahma's natural sound, the correct practice of wonderful sound, and the mutual transformation of Buddha spirit in the "Brahma Wonderful Sound Sutra", and my mental strength has recovered!

He Huan looked at Li Yi's tired look and laughed, saying, "How is it, Venerable Miaoyin, can you feel the power of my resentment? What makes you tired is not the battle with me, but the consumption of your mental strength by resisting the erosion of resentment! Didn't you say you would get rid of me as soon as possible? Why do you feel like I'm going to get rid of you? Haha!"

Li Yi stared at He Huan intently, thinking about how to respond. He Huan looked at Li Yi's eyes and laughed happily: "Hahaha, yes, yes, that's the look! But this is just the beginning. I like to watch masters like you die in pain. That feeling is so happy!"

He Huan danced and sang around Li Yi. As he raised his hand and pointed, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind Li Yi! And this black shadow continued to expand and slowly wrapped around his Acala. At this time, Li Yi began to hear hallucinations. He could hear countless curses, countless complaints, countless resentments, countless wails...

These negative emotions not only consumed Li Yi's mental strength and gave him a splitting headache, but also invaded the spiritual platform of the Acala Dharma Image! The golden light on the spiritual platform gradually dimmed, and the Acala Dharma Image looked at the surrounding black shadows coldly and snorted. In reality, Li Yi's body suddenly burst into dark red flames!

Li Yi made the lotus seal below with his left hand and the wonderful sound seal above with his right hand. Then he put his hands together and chanted, "Om Mani Padme Hum!" The lotus formation under his feet opened and turned into a lotus platform. A two-meter-tall image of Acalanatha stood on the lotus platform, with ribbons flying around his waist and rosary beads forming a wheel behind him.

He Huan smiled and said, "Humph, using the Red Lotus Fire to burn away the resentment is a good idea, but the resentment on my side can be said to be inexhaustible!" He waved his hand, and the wandering souls reappeared, and continued to merge into the black shadow behind him.

Li Yi said coldly: "You were the first to make a move just now, this time it's my turn!" He casually released his talent, and then condensed it into various musical instruments, including zither, drums, flutes, xiao, xun, erhu, gongs and even wooden fish! This scene was like Li Yi was going to form a band by himself.
