Chapter 74 You and I are connected by a Western religion
While Ksitigarbha was experiencing extremely complex emotions, he conjured up a prayer wheel.
He also had the "Nuwa's Salvation Scripture" engraved on it.
The two stood on a sea of blood, with a row of prayer wheels engraved with scriptures in front of them.
Yang Jiao stood at the very back, running past with outstretched arms.
A golden light surged from the prayer wheel, continuously delivering the souls of the dead from the sea of blood at a rate of one recitation per second.
Moreover, once the prayer wheel starts turning, it keeps turning for a long time, and it will move as long as the wind can reach it.
Ksitigarbha was dumbfounded.
Thinking back on the past hundred years, I felt my mouth was dry and my lips were a little sore.
Watching the merit points continuously fall, Yang Jiao's mind raced, and she said to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva:
"I have another idea!"
"Huh? Oh, you have another way?"
Ksitigarbha was at a loss, thinking to himself, "How do you still have a trick up your sleeve?"
The way you're doing this makes me seem very honest.
Yang Jiao was only thinking about how to quickly convert the dead souls, and didn't pay any attention to the expression of the future famous Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
She smiled, her eyes narrowing, and pointed to the sky above the sea of blood, saying:
"If you conjure up some more prayer flags, write the scriptures on them, and hang them in the sea of blood, when the prayer flags flutter in the wind, they will stir up the scriptures, and that will be another recitation, won't it?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was already feeling a bit numb.
With a flick of the finger, colorful prayer flags appeared everywhere, rustling in the wind.
These are clearly prayer flags that were later discovered by Buddhist temple believers and tourists in tourist destinations.
The prayer wheel and prayer flag complement each other, and just one stick of incense has already saved more than 20,000 souls.
This is equivalent to the number of people whom Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has been reciting sutras for three years to help!
He turned his head and looked at the little girl who was still running around spinning the prayer wheel. Deeply moved, he strode forward and said excitedly:
"Young friend, you truly have an affinity with Western religion!"
"Let's go see our master. It would be a great loss if someone like you didn't join our Western Sect!"
Hey, hey, hey.
Yang Jiao quickly pulled her hand away, hugged the prayer wheel, and looked at him with a wronged expression.
I thought:
"Why would you try to harm me after I helped you?"
My entire family, from my uncle to my younger brother, sister, and future nephew, are Taoists. You want me to betray my ancestors?
You are truly a wonderful Bodhisattva, Namo Great Vow Ksitigarbha!
When Yang Jiao refused, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva couldn't force her, and simply repeated:
"You have a connection with my Western religion!"
During this time, the system finally reported back.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have saved 10,000 undead. Reward: 10 Card Draw Tokens.]
One sound stopped, and another sound rang out.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have helped one thousand souls find peace. Reward: 1 Card Draw Token.]
【Ding……】
The combination of these prayer wheels and prayer flags is incredibly effective, and the spirits of the dead in the sea of blood continuously transform into starlight and flow into the cycle of reincarnation.
At this moment, ten more tokens were added to the system.
[Ding! The system has detected that the host is engaging in token fraud. Issuance has been suspended. One warning has been issued. Beware of account suspension!]
Password.
My skills are undeniable, so why are you saying I'm cheating?
Oh, you've changed.
Given the system's frequent erratic behavior, Yang Jiao felt she couldn't keep the card; otherwise, what if she claimed to have cheated and had the token confiscated later?
then,
Yang Jiao ignored the fact that Ksitigarbha was still very much destined to be with her, and silently began drawing cards.
She didn't forget to take advantage of the situation, saying to the system:
"I want two 10-pulls, may the Great Vow Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva bless me!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 1 fragment of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, 11 fragments of Red Cloud, 3 fragments of Black Bear Spirit, and 5 fragments of Bull Demon King.]
Upon hearing the report of the card draw, Yang Jiao clasped her hands together and said to Ksitigarbha:
"Amitabha."
Ksitigarbha was completely bewildered. He tugged at his curly hair, not understanding what he meant, and said:
"What is Amitabha Buddha? What is that?"
Um... Yang Jiao took a step back and suddenly remembered that the Western Sect had not yet betrayed the Taoism and called itself 'Buddhism'. Naturally, there was only the Guide of the Way in the world at this time, and there was no Amitabha Buddha yet.
The little voice inside her secretly pointed at Ksitigarbha and said:
"Everyone saw it. He was the one who cursed his own master. It has nothing to do with me."
She silently moved a little further away from Ksitigarbha and said in a deep voice:
"His own actions and all consequences do not affect me."
Yang Jiao ran away as fast as she could. Anyway, decades later, you'll know who Amitabha Buddha is.
The last words of Ksitigarbha could still be heard behind him:
"Young friend, you have a connection with the Western religion..."
She ran even faster!
Only after they had gone far away did they speak to the system:
"I exchanged those ten Red Cloud Fragments."
This Hongyun had sat on a futon in the Zixiao Palace, and because of his kind nature, he gave it up to the two Western Saints. His abilities were extraordinary.
After all, it was the first red cloud to be transformed after the creation of the world.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully exchanged for a Crimson Cloud Fragment and randomly obtained the Crimson Cloud Technique—Soaring Cloud Technique: Crimson Cloud.]
Yang Jiao was stunned.
blinked.
Do you think there's a system error? Red Cloud Fragments yield Red Cloud?
What kind of bug is this?
Before she could finish her thought, a red cloud suddenly appeared in front of Yang Jiao...
This……
Well, it really is Hongyun.
But if I were to sit on this cloud, what difference would there be between such a conspicuous color and a target?
She wanted a white cloud like the Somersault Cloud.
She pouted and said, looking aggrieved:
"It was all for nothing."
"Fortunately, we got our hands on the Breath of Soil."
Having fulfilled Nuwa's request, he obtained 20,000 grains of Breath Soil, which, when put together, amounted to only a handful.
Yang Jiao immediately found an open space and planted the gourd vine roots on it.
As soon as the gourd vine touched the soil, it was revitalized, and its previously listless leaves suddenly turned a vibrant green.
The seven small flowers swayed, and the first gourd flower, which already had fruit, withered and fell, leaving only a bald gourd, which was already taking shape.
Yang Jiao was in a great mood and was about to return to Nuwa Palace to report the results to the Goddess Nuwa when she heard a booming sound in her ears.
He immediately became nervous and said:
"Could it be that those Asuras discovered there were too many missing blood-soaked undead and went to destroy the prayer wheels?"
"That won't do!"
Yang Jiao immediately turned around, but before she could even lift her foot, she felt a force comparable to a nuclear explosion coming from behind her.
Above the sea of blood, a massive mushroom cloud rose into the air.
A terrifying gale tore through the boundless sea of blood, creating towering crimson waves that surged upwards like a waterfall flowing backwards.
"Such a terrifying pressure! Who has arrived?"
She immediately placed a red embroidered ball in front of her to save her life.
Yet, the force still sent them flying more than ten meters away.
As soon as the dust was cleared away, a Taoist priest wearing a purple-gold crown and an orange Taoist robe stood in the sky, looking even more handsome than Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!
She was immediately stunned, and murmured:
"How can he be so good-looking? How can he... blast out an atomic bomb with a single slap!"
Yang Jiao changed the subject.
I witnessed the handsome man with three whiskers casually throw a powerful golden ball into the depths of the sea of blood, and then with a flick of his sleeve, a gust of wind swept across the sea of blood.
An old man in a purplish-red robe with fluttering ribbons behind him was suddenly pulled out.
The old man's face was ashen, he gripped a sword in each hand, and pointed it menacingly at the Taoist priest suspended in mid-air, letting out a furious roar:
"How many years! How many years! You come to my sea of blood to cause trouble whenever you're unhappy. Do you think you can kill me?!"
The Taoist priest was also angry. Holding a book, he pointed at the old man and shouted:
"Come out and fight me if you dare!"
Old man: "If you're so capable, come down here and fight me!"
Taoist priest: "Come up here!"
Old man: "Get down here!"
Yang Jiao sighed, thinking, "This powerful being, who can shatter mountains and seas with this move, is arguing like a child."
She said strangely:
"Who are these two childish brats, acting like two little kids arguing about the sun?"
