The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  However, Golden Lotus had made a mistake. Phoenix had long passed the point of uncertainty and was ready to realize her killing intent.

  Swish! Another swing of the blade fell upon her.

  Golden Lotus' expression grew pallid from shock and she reached out to beg the Buddhas for help.

  The Buddhas also wanted to interfere but they had underestimated the power of Phoenix's blood, it was so mighty that even the Hall of Great Strength was engulfed in flames!

  Golden Lotus recollected herself and pleaded Phoenix for mercy. "Master, please think about it, if you kill me, you will truly betray the Buddha's gate. It's fine if you don't want to marry, I can appeal to the Buddhas for you. Please, as long as you promise not to kill me, you can consider everything done!"

  She was raised by Venerable for thousands of years before she could transform into a human.

  All these events had been cultivated for the past millennium, she could not afford to fail at this stage for her lack of effort. She had yet to become a True Buddha, not to mention, to win the heart of that man.

  She must not die!

  Golden Lotus thought that the other party would reconsider her action because of this appeal.

  Contrarily, Phoenix casually raised her scythe again. "What's wrong with betraying the Buddha's gate?"

  At the same time, Phoenix's melodious voice rang out in all directions from the void.

  Countless swords fell on Golden Lotus' body. She wanted to resist but found that her actions were powerless against the succinct words of the ancient Phoenix.

  Ordinary weapons could never hurt Golden Lotus but Phoenix's scythe could easily destroy her Buddha's body!

  Golden Lotus registered a faint moment of pain before she was sliced into countless pieces along with a thump.

  Fresh blood was splashed right in front of the Buddhas' eyes and stained the virtues of Buddhism.

  To betray Buddha's gate was a horrendous crime that deserved the most brutal punishment.

  Violent thunder and fire descended on Mountain Tenya from above, all of them struck Phoenix's body mercilessly.

  The Buddhas did not have any malicious intentions, conversely, they wanted to save her.

  The Heavenly Tribulation from the betrayal of Buddha's Gate was torturous and no one could withstand it.

  As a result, all the Buddhas converged to form the Light of Buddha and morphed into the Shield of Vajra. They blanketed each other and the little Shami, only Phoenix remained unshielded.

  Boom!

  The second clap of thunder resounded, Phoenix clutched at her shirt and coughed out a mouthful of blood.

  She faintly glimpsed at the Venerable from atop Golden Lotus as he asked, "Do you really want to leave the Buddha Gate? Heavenly Tribulation of Thirty-Three Rolling Thunder, Phoenix, you won't be able to stand it."

  In the face of Venerable's question, Phoenix only laughed and uttered a single phrase, "Get out of my sight!"

  Chapter 847 - The Reincarnation Of Phoenix

  12 bolts of Heavenly Thunder struck.

  The lightning flashed and thunder rumbled atop Mountain Tenya, shaking the hills and quaking the earth.

  All the Buddhas stood under the Shield of Vajra and looked toward Phoenix in the distance.

  Amidst the fiery flames, Phoenix covered her head with her arms.

  Her fifth sense started to vanish.

  With her blood dripping, Phoenix could no longer stand and fell on the long steps.

  Below the Ninth Heaven.

  A host of demons were dancing in riotous revelry.

  Almost everyone in the Six Paths could not help but get shocked by the roaring thunder.

  Evil spirits started to emerge from the Sea of ​​Blood.

  "What's going on? Is there something wrong with Buddhism?"

  "It looks like an ancient holy Buddha had abandoned the Buddha's gate and is enduring the Heavenly Tribulations?"

  "Abandoned the Buddha's gate? Do they have a death wish? Who could be so stupid?"

  As the demons were speaking, they suddenly glanced up at the sky.

  Glorious colors were glowing brightly in the midst of the raging flames. A beautiful giant tail flashed across the sky.

  "Is that! Is that the Ancient Phoenix?!"

  Boom!

  Mountain Tenya swayed madly with its stones shattering and the sky trembled!

  A corner of the Shield of Vajra broke, causing the Buddhas under the shield to frown.

  Little Shamis who were scattered around were washed away into the mountain's glacier.

  Phoenix was on the verge of death. Her stunning true form laid on the ground with blood running down her soft feathers, reddening the entire path of Buddha.

  "Let me ask you again, do you really want to betray the Buddha's gate?"

  Phoenix looked up at the sky and snickered.

  At that moment, all her unruliness and contempt appeared on the surface.

  Everyone knew that if the Phoenix still had the Dharma bone, she might still be able to survive the 33 strikes of fiery Heavenly Thunder.

  However, she stubbornly chose the most resolute method to abandon Buddhism.

  Not even a Buddha.

  Get out of my sight!

  Bang!

  The thirty-second Heavenly Thunder struck directly onto Phoenix's skull.

  All the Buddhas knew that when the last Heavenly Thunder struck, Phoenix would lose all her six senses and there would never be another reincarnation of the Phoenix within the Six Paths ever again!

  "Amitabha." Honored Sir retracted his gaze and put his palms together quietly.

  At this moment, the branches of the Bodhi tree that had been erected outside the Buddha's gate for thousands of years shook all of a sudden!

  Rumble!

  Everyone looked up and saw the magnificent statue of Xumi Mountain emerging atop the Trayastrimsa heaven, with countless clouds gathering around it.

  Someone had become a Buddha!

  Someone had become a Buddha without redemption?

  That was the first thought that flashed through everyone's minds.

  Immediately after that, that Light of Buddha descended from the sky, concealing Phoenix firmly like a golden shield!

  "Honored Sir, how can this be? Who dares to disobey the Buddha? Who is it?"

  Who was the one who became a Buddha?

  All the Buddhas turned to look at Honored Sir.

  Honored Sir who was seated on the Golden Lotus, opened his eyes again and stared down at the dying Phoenix among the bronze ruins.

  Boom!

  When they opened their eyes again, Phoenix was gone.

  Logically speaking, those who betrayed the Buddha's gate would have their bones shattered and turned to ashes.

  Besides, Phoenix's Dharma bone had already been retrieved, so she definitely would not be able to ascend into heaven.

  It was unexpected for someone to give all of his Buddhist gospel to Phoenix in less than a second after he became a Buddha, in order to let Phoenix reincarnate as a human.

  It was such a huge anomaly.

  And because of this anomaly, Honored Sir's eyes darkened.

  "Honored Sir?" The Buddhas turned, frowning slightly.

  Some doubts flashed in the eyes of Honored Sir, but he said nothing. Instead, he squinted his eyes and walked toward Mountain Tenya.

  Among the Six Paths, Buddhism was the only path where one must not do things that were against destiny. Since someone had suffered the last bolt of thunder tribulation for Phoenix, the Buddha could not be ruthless.

  As Honored Sir was walking up the steps, he seemed to think of something. He looked back abruptly in the direction of Bodhi.

  It was empty!

  Honored Sir's eyes tightened as he did some calculations with his fingers. After losing his Buddha body, there was always a puzzling light in his eyes.

  As if he had a glimpse of God's will, he said with a smile, "Amitabha." He then turned to the empty lotus pond and sa
id, "Golden Lotus, go to the Netherworld and meet Bodhi. As long as you have him, you can take Phoenix's life form. Phoenix owes him that. Phoenix is ​​destined to be unable to escape this karma. By then, you can be a Buddha again. Amitabha."

  Amid the heavy Sanskrits, the lotus pond vibrated and its destiny was set!

  But even Honored Sir did not expect that after someone had received the Dharma fate, that person would go to the snowy Mountain Tenya to worship 9999 times in order to make a great wish.

  It was a benign and slender figure, with his long white robe and pure black hair, looking as clean as the mythical water of Heaven and Earth.

  In the heavy snow.

  He did not seem to feel the cold at all, bowing down after every step he took.

  The blood leaked into the glacier drop by drop as he bowed.

  That year, the snow on Mountain Tenya was falling unusually heavily.

  The mythical bird swept across the sky, speaking to the person on the ground, "Bodhi, it is useless. Please go back. You can't move Heaven and Earth unless the True Buddha returns to one."

  The man smiled slightly but did not stop.

  The mythical bird heaved a long sigh and repeated, "It's useless. How don't you tell me any of your wishes and I will fulfill it for you."

  The man shook his head, with a gentle smile still on his face.

  No one could understand.

  He had crawled on the ground and kowtowed on the mountain road, not for his afterlife.

  But to free that person.

  He shook the prayer wheel and raised the wind horse, not to beg for blessing.

  But for him to meet that person once.

  He even endured suffering to become a Buddha, not to have eternal life.

  But to bless her with peace and joy.

  The mythical birds could do none of these things.

  Only the True Buddha could fulfill his wish.

  He kowtowed again.

  The man lowered his eyes as the Bodhi leaves continued to fall.

  The mythical bird looked at his figure and gritted its teeth, "Why are you so stubborn?! What a thick headed Bodhi!"

  After saying that, the mythical bird wanted to fly away, but just as it flapped its wings, the man kowtowed for the 9999th time. The floating lights on the snowy mountain converged into a reflection.

  "That, that is!"

  No one had ever seen a True Buddha.

  The Tribulation of Buddha appeared only once every ten thousand years.

  If the True Buddha wanted to be united, they had to clear the Sea of ​​Blood.

  But now that the Six Paths were chaotic and even Buddhism was a bit abnormal, the True Buddha was long gone.

  But today, it really appeared!

  "No one has ever bowed 9999 times on the snowy mountain." Sanskrits sounded from the sky as the True Buddha looked down and spoke softly, "Bodhi, I know what you want, but you have to know, the Emperor fell from heaven. He abandoned the divine psyche and gave up reincarnation just because of Phoenix. Everyone thought he had tied Phoenix's Red String to himself, but in fact Phoenix does not even have a Red String for him to meddle with..."

  Chapter 848 - Returning To Exorcist City

  Upon hearing that, the man raised his eyes.

  The True Buddha looked at him and continued, "Actually, he tied his Red String on Phoenix, thus allowing Phoenix to have a broken marriage at the very least. In other words, he willingly let himself be manipulated by Phoenix just to be together with Phoenix. You and Phoenix are not destined to be together. Why are you so determined?"

  The man remained on his knees and his black hair was blown about by the wind continuously, "Buddha, you said it yourself, the marriage was incomplete. If Phoenix is reincarnated, is she still destined to be alone?"

  "She is the Ancient Phoenix and is destined to return to the Buddha's gate." The Buddha's words answered Bodhi's question.

  The man's voice was very soft as he said while coughing, "Then I beg you. Please set Phoenix free of her destiny to complete her marriage."

  The True Buddha looked at the man in shock, "You kneeled for 9999 times just to fulfill a marriage for others?"

  "I know that I'm also a part of destiny as well." The man held his c.h.e.s.t, with blood trickling from the corners of his mouth, "But I hope that one day, she will no longer be the one lonely existence in Buddhism. She is a Phoenix and she should live freely, to fall in love with the person she likes, and to do the things that she loves."

  The True Buddha looked at him without blinking, "Even though you would not recognize her when you go down to the secular world, you still want to do this?"

  "Yes." The man raised his head, the light in his eyes was as gentle as the snowy waters of Mountain Tenya.

  The True Buddha laughed, "People always talk about the Tribulation of Buddha that happens once in ten thousand years, do you know what that is?"

  The man shook his head.

  "The True Buddha had been destroyed and it's difficult to return to the righteous path." The True Buddha looked at him and said, "You are the only Dharma fate I have left in Mountain Tenya. Everyone who had become a Buddha must pass by you, but no one had ever stopped to water you. Only when Phoenix appeared, things started to change. And that gave me hope. But I never thought that you would wake me up this way. My time is running out. I avoided the Sound of Buddha set by Honored Sir to tell you this, because I want you to know that this time, when you go to the secular world, Golden Lotus will also be reincarnated. According to destiny, you must be fooled and mistake her as Phoenix in order to deceive everybody, giving Phoenix a slim chance of survival. Bodhi, everything has a cause and its consequence. Let me ask you again, do you really wish to do this?"

  The man nodded, his eyes were as clear as moonlight, "I do."

  The True Buddha shook his head, "Do you know what you are giving up on?"

  What you have given up was the ranking of Buddhism that is able to salvage all sentient beings.

  What you have given up was any possibility of her falling in love with you.

  "Just for the fulfillment of others?" Buddha asked.

  The man chuckled lightly, "I was originally just a Bodhi tree. Whether I am the purest Dharma fate of Heaven and Earth or not, it was because of her that I exist. I remember when she was young, she ran over to water me. The Gods and Buddhas persuaded her not to waste the mythical water on me, but she said that it was not a waste at all. Because in the whole world within the Six Paths, there were many blooming golden lotuses, but there was only one Bodhi tree. There was no other scene like this in the world. She gave me a name so that I was no longer just a lone Bodhi. I know that she likes that man. Since she likes him, why not fulfill them?"

  However, it seemed that the man never thought about it. His handsome and elegant face looked like a prince deep in his sleep.

  The True Buddha was touched, "Perhaps that is for the best. You are Bodhi, so there are 108 Dharma Bones in your body and all of them are creations. But none of those are real, except the one in the middle of your rib cage. After you leave here, I will take away this Dharma Bone of Bodhi and use it to pave the way for the rebirth of Phoenix. At the same time, you will forget everything that happened here. You will then become a human being, a pawn of destiny until Phoenix gets her six senses back. Only then will this memory of yours be restored…"

  The Sanskrits gradually faded and thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye.

  It was just as destiny foretold.

  Bodhi turned into a human and met Ni Feng, who was disguised as the Phoenix Girl.

  At that time, he already had a ghost baby with him.

  The ghost baby never knew what the man was looking for. There had never been any light in his eyes, until one day when Ni Feng called out the name, "Jing Wushuang."

  Finally, a smile appeared on the man's face, reflecting on hers...

  After that came everything that Helian Wei Wei had encountered, until the resurrection of Gold
en Lotus and her tribulations in Exorcist City!

  A sickle pierced through from outside the city!

  The son of the King of Hell who had a pacifier in his mouth was suspended in midair, with a snake monster which was about to turn into a demon under his feet. His black hair was so stylish in the wind!

  "How dare you bite my face, bastard! Only Xiao Gou is allowed to kiss my face. Who are you to even touch me?! Get lost!"

  The son of the King of Hell brandished that huge black axe, looking so vicious and brutal that very few dared to offend him.

  The demons had never thought that he would appear here.

  In a moment of hesitance, a thunderous sound could be heard in the city. Nobody knew what was going on.

  Ni Feng paused midstride. She glanced toward the outside of the city and said softly to the exorcists behind her, "I think there's something wrong. It's abnormal. There must be a spy in the city. Did you guys see anything suspicious?"

  A senior exorcist suddenly thought of something, "Yes, before I went to the Ni family, I saw a few people in disguises coming in from outside the city, and they headed to the Zhuge family. There are still people entering the city at this time, now that I think about it, it is indeed a little strange."

  "Zhuge family?" Ni Feng's eyes narrowed sharply. She furrowed her brows, looking at Madam Zhuge who came along with them, "Auntie, who are those people? Why would they enter the city at this time?"

  Madam Zhuge did not expect that things would be exposed so quickly. Her heart beat a little faster, but she replied naturally, "They were just some merchants taking refuge. They were close to the Exorcist City and they seemed to find difficulty escaping from danger, so they entered the city instead."

  "Is that so?" Ni Feng looked at Madam Zhuge and shook her head gently, feeling very compassionate, "I didn't want to do this. I know you felt distressed about Brother Yun and wanted to keep him safe. But what is the situation now? There are thousands of demons outside the city, and there must be no threat in the Exorcist City. Now that Brother Yun has already been possessed by hostile ghosts, I didn't expect that he would disguise himself to enter the city, much less hide in the Zhuge Manor. Auntie, you said that those people are merchants. What merchants would disguise themselves before entering the manor?"
