Chapter 79 Don't Reach Out, or You'll Be Caught The moonlight is warm and unusually bright. The Tsukimi Shrine on the top of the mountain seems to be covered with a silver-white gauze dress. Sacred and cold, like the moon palace in the moon. There are rabbit statues scattered on both sides of the road and in the grass. Look up and admire the osmanthus tree. The goddess on the tree showed a satisfied smile, even a little proud. Yaezakura Jingu leaned back slightly, changed her angle, supported her chin with her right hand, and quietly admired the three paintings in front of her. How can you draw so well? Yaezakura Jingu sighed and felt a little bored. Alas, there is absolutely no room for further growth from now on. I have no interest in writing anymore because my skills cannot be further improved.
At the entrance of the main hall, Daijo Palace Chief saw black smoke rising from a barren mountain in the distance, and a section of the mountain top was flattened. Then a toad as big as a mountain disappeared, and everything seemed to return to its previous tranquility. Is the battle over tonight? After hesitating for a moment, Ojoji felt that he should go find the goddess. He walked slowly to the osmanthus tree, without looking up, but with his head slightly lowered, maintaining respect and humility. "Goddess, is the battle over tonight?" "not yet." "The toad that coveted the goddess is still alive?" "When he died, even his ashes were scattered." "Now?" Seeing that the goddess seemed to be in a very good mood tonight, the Grand Priest asked a few more questions. "fishing." “Fishing in the mountains?” Ojoji was a little dazed, and looked towards the distant barren mountains, but it was too far away, and he could not see clearly what was happening on the top of the mountain. "Don't hang around here unless it's important." Jingu Yaezakura issued an expulsion order, and the Grand Priest Daijo bowed his head and left as ordered, returning to the gate of his main hall and continuing to guard it. …… In the barren mountains, time passed by minute by minute, and the bright moon moved across most of the sky. It was past 3 . and there was still no unusual movement. Pinggong Qianye glanced at the sparkling and glowing demon bead, which was really tempting.
What good patience. Pinggong Qianye sighed in his heart and decided to stay here for one night and enjoy the sunrise. As the darkness was gradually replaced by a faint light, a bright red outline of the sun began to emerge in the distance. With the essence of the sun and the brightness of the moon, this place is truly a treasure land suitable for spiritual practice. When the first rays of sunlight shone down, Heimiya Chiye closed his eyes and began to practice the "Mahavairocana Sutra". At this moment, an imperceptible ripple appeared in the void near the demon bead, like a breeze blowing gently across the surface of a lake. A colorless and almost transparent claw stretched out from the ripples in space and quickly and accurately grabbed the magic bead placed on the stone. When the demon bead entered the claw, the claw quickly retracted. With a snap, the magic bead fell out of the claws and fell back onto the stone. It turned out that a flash of sword light passed by and cut off the transparent claw. Do not stretch out your hand, you will be caught if you stretch out your hand. Pinggong Qianye closed his eyes to practice, and a statue of Acala appeared behind him. The sword that he had cut down in his right hand was raised back to its original position. The magic bead still lay quietly on the stone, without being retracted. The crystal bead reflected the sunlight, making it more dazzling than at night. The meaning is very clear, the things are right here, just reach out and take them if you have the ability. Bait, bait without any disguise. The ripples in the void did not subside, but instead expanded, enveloping the entire space near the demon bead. Apart from this, there was no new movement. I wanted to reach out but was afraid of being caught, and I felt it was a pity to just leave. When a black cloud covered the rising sun, blocking all light and casting a shadow, the existence hidden in the void took action again! This time, it did not extend its claws, but completely wrapped up the space near the demon bead and cut it off! The magic bead and the stone beneath it seemed to have disappeared out of thin air! Once the attack is successful, escape immediately! Acala behind Pinggong Qianye used the sword in his right hand to split the rippling space, and the silk rope in his left hand slipped into that space, as if turning into a white dragon and flying around. "Namo Samantabhadra, the Great Lord." Pinggong Qianye recited the "Acalanatha Mantra" and the white silk rope suddenly tightened. Not long after, the space shook, and the Moon-Swallowing Toad's magic bead fell from the space where the ripples appeared and rolled onto the grass. Pinggong Qianye, who had been practicing with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the rippling space. Behind him, Acala pulled one end of the rope tight, raised the sword in his right hand, and chopped it down again. The rippling space was cut open, along with a colorless and transparent body tightly bound with white ropes, and a few drops of light blue blood. Is this a way to survive by cutting off the tail?
There was a hint of surprise in Pinggong Qianye's eyes. Not only could the other party hide in the void without any breath fluctuations, but he could also survive by cutting off his tail like a gecko. A colorless and almost transparent body...what kind of monster is this? Pinggong Qianye thought for a long time, but could not find a monster similar to it in his mind. If I had known earlier that it had the trick of cutting off its tail to survive, I should have wrapped the silk rope around its head. In this way, when Ming Wang struck it with his sword, it would have nowhere to escape. It's a pity. Pinggong Qianye dispersed the Acala behind him, stood up, walked to the bushes, and picked up the magic bead. Although I didn't catch a big fish, at least I hooked a piece of its tail. This is the result of greed. It has been holding back since last night, probably out of concern for Yaezakura, the shrine god in the faraway Tsukimi Shrine. So it chose to wait from night to day, until the sun rose. Unfortunately, it doesn't understand that the bright sun in the sky can bring it benefits far beyond its imagination. It's still the disaster caused by greed. Pinggong Qianye put away the magic bead of the Moon-Swallowing Toad, held the tail in his left hand, and walked down the mountain. When he reached the foot of the mountain, his mountain bike had been deformed by the rolling earth and rocks. Pinggong Qianye lifted the stone, picked up the mountain bike whose paint had been badly peeled, pulled the deformed titanium alloy frame, and roughly restored it. Then he tied the colorless and transparent tail to the handlebars, rode the slightly twisted mountain bike, and went home in the morning breeze. My shirt has burst. I can't go to Tsukimi Shrine to meet Yaezakura like this. …… terrible! terrible! He is so young, how could he have such terrifying skills? Even the old bald monk in the Golden Pavilion can't compare to him in terms of pure cultivation, right? How could there be such a powerful Buddhist practitioner in this world? The whole body of the Acalanatha was red and yellow as if it were real, and he appeared in a very wrathful form. Behind him was boundless Buddha light, and the Buddha fire could burn away all troubles. How outrageous! It is actually possible to visualize Acalanatha to this extent! There was a slight ripple in the void, which soon disappeared from this side of the mountain into the depths of the distant clouds. After a long time, the figure hidden in the void escaped into a space emitting strange light all around. Deep in this space, there is a huge, red creature that looks like a salamander. It has a plump, cylindrical body, short limbs, and no webbed feet. There are no eyes or facial organs, only a mouth, breathing in and out regularly. With every breath, the color of the skin changes from red to white, a color that seems to blend into the entire space. The distant figure slowly crouched down and turned into a smaller white salamander with a broken tail and light blue blood at the wound.
When the white salamander stretched out its short legs and approached the red salamander, its body was like a pool of white liquid, merging into the body of the large salamander. At the same time, a white forked horn slowly grew out from the top of the red salamander's smooth head, shaped like the legendary dragon horn. "The Moon-Swallowing Toad's magic bead, the mysterious and powerful monk..." "Everything is not going well, so it's not a good time to go out." "This year's summer festival is very unlucky, so it's best to take a rest." It was like a soft murmur coming from the abdomen, echoing in this strange space. (End of this chapter)
