Buddha is the Tao

The Flame Mountain is the outlet for the underground fire to vent. It is very different from ordinary volcanoes. The fire alone is tens of thousands of times more fierce. Other volcanoes are just a hole on the top with magma rolling inside, but in this Flame Mountain, all the rocks within 800 miles are on fire. The closer to the center, the more fierce it is. Even Taoists and monsters who have cultivated to the immortal level dare not go in, otherwise they will be refined by the flames.

Fire is also the spirit of heaven and earth, and naturally gives birth to fire spirits. Each one of them is red all over, wearing crystal jade armor, holding crystal jade weapons, and standing in neat rows in the Flame Mountain. From time to time, there are some flat areas in the mountain, and many fire spirits fight and practice in them.

The flames in the mountain were blazing, and there were actually quite a few trees growing on the red crystal jade rocks. They were only about ten feet high, with many branches and large branches, the same color as the ground. These trees were full of fist-sized fruits, with a strange fragrance. At first glance, they looked like rubies, very attractive. However, I am afraid that few people can see such a strange scenery. Ordinary people would die of heat if they were within a thousand miles of the Flame Mountain. Even if they were immortals with profound cultivation, they could enter the mountain and take these fruits, but they had to ask the fire spirits if they agreed.

The Flame Mountain is a treasure land. When the earthly immortal world was first created, a little innate fire source sank into the ground with the turbid air, and then slowly spread out. It took countless billions of years to refine the entire mountain. All the impurities were refined, and now only 800 miles are left, which has shrunk by more than 10,000 times. The rocks in this 800-mile radius are all excellent materials for refining magic weapons. The weapons and armors of the 200,000 fire demon soldiers under Red Boy are all made of this fire crystal jade.

The fire crystal jade of the Flame Mountain can be soft or hard under the control of the fire demon, and it is extremely exquisite. It is made into armor, which is soft jade that can resist swords and weapons. It is extremely hard to make weapons. Ordinary weapons will be burned at the touch. If it is refined into a magic weapon, the innate fire in it will be triggered, which is even more powerful. Although it is not like Red Boy's Five Flavors Divine Fire that burns everything it encounters, and it will not be repaired until it dies, it is also very difficult.

The Fire Demon is a formless body, a bit of fire that takes shape, and is somewhat similar to Liao Xiaojin's Blood God Son. As long as he stays in the Flame Mountain, it is difficult to kill him. Because of this, Red Boy can stand firm in Xiniu Hezhou. No one can do anything to him. Even if he has greater magical powers than him, as long as he hides in the Flame Mountain, others can do nothing. The Flame Mountain is the vent of the innate fire underground. If this mountain is moved away, the innate fire will burst violently, and the creatures within a radius of tens of millions of miles will immediately disappear. No Bodhisattva or Buddha dares to do this.

Red Boy himself is not stupid. There are many demon kings in the area of ​​100,000 miles around the Flame Mountain. He has conquered them one by one, and he has many subordinates. At least his foundation is much more solid than that of Zhou Qing, the temporary emperor.

"My king, you are back!" The Fire Demon who practiced in the mountains recognized Red Boy's fire cloud, and several generals came to ask him.

These fire spirits actually had fair skin, not fiery red, and looked like flesh and blood. They were obviously fire immortals with very high cultivation. There were also many such fire immortals leading the team to practice in the distance, but their cultivation varied. The more fiery red their skin was, the shallower their cultivation was. However, as long as they had a human body, they were spirits who had already become immortals.

Red Boy had 50,000 such fire immortals under his command. The rest were floating in the air, with only the upper body but no lower body, or only a head, and a vague mass of fire spirits below. It was hard to count them. In the valley, there were also groups of fire curling up from time to time, which was obviously the innate fire that was about to become a spirit.

Red Boy waved his hand and told his men to continue practicing. He led a few generals to the high place in the center of the mountain. Along the way, many fire immortals followed him.

A palace was built on the cliff. It took Red Boy almost a hundred years to build it. The fire inside the palace was even more intense. It was all red. Xiu wanted to see something clearly, but these people were fire spirits, so they naturally had no such hindrance. The bigger the fire, the more comfortable they were.

"This time, I went to the Male Continent and worshipped a master who was extremely powerful. I also learned some tricks and got two powerful magic weapons. After I practice for a while and thoroughly blend these two magic weapons, I don't have to hide from Guanyin Bodhisattva anymore." Red Boy said with a smile.

The fire fairies hurriedly congratulated him. Red Boy said, "The Fire Cloud Mysterious Fruits in the mountain have also matured a lot. Pick a thousand of them and put them in the Fire Crystal Jade Box. Also, ask the 360 ​​cave demon kings around to send any precious fruits to me. My senior brother is going to marry the seven sisters of the Pansi Cave. I have to help him. My master has not treated me badly. I will never take advantage of him for free."

After giving the order, the fire fairies naturally went to do their work. Red Boy closed the cave door, silently practiced the Xuan Gong, and sacrificed the three-inch Sheshou bow and ten small wooden arrows. After shaking it, the bow was about ten feet long. Ten wooden arrows were placed on the bowstring. Although the shape was not gorgeous, it was simple and rough, exuding the unique desolate atmosphere of the ancient times, which was not found in any fairy magic weapon.

Red Boy used his magical power, and his body suddenly swelled up to about three feet high. With a grab, the raging flames in the palace gathered together and turned into a fire dragon. With the Red Boy's gesture, it circled in the air. With a grab, the fire cloud in the palace disappeared, revealing the pillars and steps, but then rolling fire clouds rushed out from the ground. Red Boy grabbed again and again, and more and more red dragons appeared. The fire clouds in the palace were endless and endless. He grabbed and regenerated them again. After 108 fire dragons were flying in the air, Red Boy stopped his gestures, opened his mouth, and sucked all the fire dragons into his nose and mouth. Finally, even his belly swelled up.

"This fire control technique is really exquisite. It is a hundred times faster than my previous practice speed. If I continue to practice at this speed for another three hundred years, I will definitely surpass my father. I have made a lot of money. My master is really mysterious. I have never heard of such a person before. It seems that he suddenly appeared. Even my senior brother is so powerful, but he has such great magical powers. It's really strange."

Red Boy was secretly surprised and opened his mouth to spray out the refined fire dragon again, which was wrapped around the Sun-shooting Bow.

"I want to see your majesty!" Zhou Qing entered the Nantian Gate with a bamboo stick and said to the four heavenly kings guarding the gate.

This bamboo stick is different from the previous ones. After absorbing Kong Xuan's golden body and soul, the green turned into golden yellow. Now it is still golden yellow, but it is covered with dense talismans with dark and sticky liquid, as if it is crawling with black ants. It looks a bit weird.

The Four Heavenly Kings did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went in to report. After a while, Taibai Jinxing came out to greet Zhou Qing and took him to the Pixiang Hall. The Jade Emperor dismissed everyone, including Taibai Jinxing. It was unknown what the Jade Emperor and Zhou Qing talked about inside. It took a full hour for them to come out. When Zhou Qing came out, he went straight to the Sun Palace and met the Maoyue Star Officer. He handed the bamboo stick to him and gave him a few instructions. Then seven fairies brought baskets made of fairy bamboo and filled them with pink peaches as big as bowls.

Zhou Qing collected the peaches and went down to the Heavenly Palace again, returning to the fairy palace in the earthly world.

The Maoyue star official was in charge of the Sun Palace, blocking the sun's essence from irradiating the lower world. Zhou Qing used his own blood to draw a talisman on the bamboo stick, and then asked the Maoyue star official to put it on the Sun Observation Platform, closest to the sun's true fire. With the help of its huge essence, Kong Xuan's golden body and soul were all combined with the bamboo stick. Kong Xuan's golden body and soul were so powerful that it was unimaginable. If Zhou Qing used his own skills to refine it, it would take decades, but with the help of the sun's star power, it was done in just 108 days.

Zhou Qing took his seat and called Long Tianlongdi and the demon king under his command, each leading 10,000 demon soldiers, and stood on the square, a total of twelve teams.

The twelve teams of demon soldiers stood in the positions designated by Zhou Qing, vaguely corresponding to the twelve gods and demons of the sky. Long Di asked curiously, "Master, what are you doing?"

"You two should watch carefully. This is an exquisite formation. I will teach you how to practice it now. It will be very useful if you fight with others in the future."

Zhou Qing called all his disciples to come, taught them the key points of the formation, took out twelve magic banners, and distributed them one by one to Wen Lanxin, Lan Shen, the big and small foxes, the Taoist with six pupils, the Taoist with flying bears, Long Tianlongdi, the poisonous dragon, and the three demon kings of the immortal position.

Each of the twelve people brought 10,000 demon soldiers. Zhou Qing also gave the talismans and asked the demon soldiers to paint them on their bodies one by one with their own blood and practice the formation.

These twelve magic banners were temporarily refined in the Diyin Spring when Zhou Qing achieved immortality. However, they absorbed a lot of Diyin evil spirits and were barely a magic treasure. It would be a pity to lose them. Zhou Qing refined them again and they were quite powerful. He just used them to ask his disciples to lead troops to practice the Dutian Shensha formation.

Not to mention that Zhou Qing had a sudden idea and practiced the formation day and night here, something happened in Huoyan Mountain. Auspicious clouds floated in the sky, and two young men dressed as walkers came down from the sky. They were the guardian walkers of Buddhism.

These two young walkers were actually very advanced in Taoism. Although they were flying clouds, they entered the 300,000-mile area around Huoyan Mountain as if they were in an uninhabited place, and no demon king noticed them.

"Brother, how many Huoyun Xuan Fruits do you have left from the last time?" One of the young walkers said to the other young walker with a basket, holding two swords on his back.

"There are only three left, not enough for refining medicine. We must collect more this time."

When the two young travelers fell to the ground, the raging fire automatically gave way, and even their clothes were not burned at all.

"The two brothers, Jinzha and Muzha, are here to steal our fruits again." The fire spirits watching the mountain from outside the mountain were a little scared when they saw the people coming, and they did not rush to stop them, but hid inside.

It turned out that the two young travelers were Nezha's brothers. Muzha was originally the disciple of Puxian Zhenren, one of the twelve immortals of the Chan Sect, and Jinzha was the disciple of Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun. Later, because of the battle of the Conferred God, the twelve immortals were taken away by the Hunyuan Golden Bowl and thrown into the Nine-bend Yellow River Formation. The three flowers on their heads were cut off, the five qi disappeared, and they became mortals and had to practice again. Puxian Zhenren, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, and Cihang Daoist entered Buddhism, reincarnated and practiced again, and were supported by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. They recovered their Taoism after ten generations and five hundred years, which was much higher than the Taoism of Guangchengzi and the other four.

The Taoist Cihang was reincarnated for the tenth time and turned into a female body, becoming Guanyin Bodhisattva. Puxian Zhenren and Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun became Bodhisattvas first because they were supported by their two disciples Jinzha and Muzha. Puxian Zhenren asked Muzha to help with the salvation of all beings. After Cihang became Guanyin Bodhisattva, he also accepted Muzha as his disciple, so Muzha was also called Hui'an Xingzhe. They were all Buddhist disciples.

Jinzha and Muzha became saints in the flesh during the Conferred Gods, and their strength was extraordinary. Nezha did not go to the Conferred Gods platform that year, but because his flesh collapsed, he used the lotus to reshape himself. Although his strength was higher than the two brothers at that time, after practicing for a long time, his progress could not be compared. Now the two brothers are more powerful than Nezha, so how can these marginal demon kings find them?

Jin Zha carried a bamboo basket and Mu Zha carried two Wu Gou swords. Seeing the fire demons running in, Jin Zha laughed and said, "These fire demons are scared by us. They came to pick fruits several times and tried to stop us. Don't they know that this natural spiritual creature is not something that demons can enjoy? They are also blessed by heaven. However, it is a bit too much to take this Flame Mountain for themselves. Sooner or later, they will be punished by heaven."

Mu Zha said, "That's right. Didn't the Red Boy get warned by the Bodhisattva once and dare not do evil? The Bodhisattva wanted to convert him and accept him as Shancai Tongzi to enjoy the bliss of heaven, but he was stubborn and refused to change his ways. I'm afraid he won't have a good ending in the future."

The two went up the mountain and found fruit trees. The fire demons all avoided them, as if the plague god had come.

"Huh!? Brother, why aren't any of these Fire Cloud Mysterious Fruits ripe?" Jin Zha and Mu Zha searched a few more hills, but they didn't pick even a single ripe fruit. Those that didn't grow were not very effective, so picking them was useless.

How could they know that Red Boy had already picked all the ripe fruits for Liao Xiaojin's marriage.

"How ridiculous! Red Boy must have known that my brother often comes to pick fruits, but he was afraid of the Bodhisattva and didn't dare to stop us, so he picked the fruits and let us go back empty-handed." Mu Zha said angrily.

The two suddenly saw a fire spirit in human form holding a fire crystal jade box in front of them. Mu Zha raised his hand and emitted a golden light, which rolled the fire spirit over. He snatched the fire crystal jade box and opened it. There were three ripe fruits inside. He immediately said angrily: "Brother, as expected, let's go and find Red Boy to ask for them."

"Brother, no hurry!" Jin Zha laughed, and then shouted at the fire spirit: "You evil beast, why don't you tell Red Boy to come out and give my brother a thousand fruits." The fire spirit was caught and couldn't move. When the other party let go, it screamed and flew into the mountain. "

The rest of the fire fairies and fire spirits were all in awe from a distance, but Red Boy had previously told them not to deal with these two, especially since they were not vegetarians. If they ran, no one could stop them. If they ran, it would be troublesome for the Bodhisattva behind them, so they had to swallow their anger.

Red Boy was in meditation when he heard a fire fairy hurriedly report.

"Huh? ! These two are troublesome. Just give him 300 fruits. I only have 1,000 in total. If I give them all to him, how can I give them as gifts? If the seven sisters say I am stingy, I will be embarrassed. "

Red Boy thought to himself. These two people have very deep roots, and the forces behind them are too powerful. Although Red Boy has obtained the magic weapon, he does not want to provoke them. But he cannot deal with Guanyin Bodhisattva alone, not to mention Puxian Bodhisattva and Manjusri Bodhisattva. More importantly, the two are disciples of Buddhism, and their father, the Pagoda Heavenly King, is even more powerful. If it were normal times, Red Boy would give the two brothers a thousand fruits, but now he has to give them to Liao Xiaojin and the seven sisters, and Red Boy is a little embarrassed.

It's not because of Zhou Qing's backer. Although Zhou Qing has strong magic power, he is only at the level of a Bodhisattva, especially his foundation is shallower than his. Red Boy did not think that Zhou Qing could help him.

The fire fairy led dozens of fire spirits out, holding fruits, and said to the two brothers Jinzha and Muzha who were waiting in front of the mountain: "You two, all the fruits are here."

Muzha collected the fruits and counted them, and said angrily: "Why are there only 300? Usually there are more than 1,000. This is absurd."

The fire fairy said hurriedly: "I don't know what went wrong this time. Only so many fruits are ripe, and they are all here."

Muzha grabbed the fire fairy and said sternly: "How can there be a problem? This is not a lie. Let me go in and ask the red boy for clarification."

Red Boy knew the situation long ago. Seeing the other party's rudeness, he was also a little angry. He came out with a gun and said: "No, no. I asked you to pick fruits, but you bullied me."

Mu Zha sneered, "Xiniu Hezhou is a pure land of Buddhism. It is a great favor for monsters like you to live there. Why don't you repent and monopolize the spiritual fruits? There are still 700. Hand them all over. If you do this again, be careful not to follow the footsteps of the Bull Demon King."

The fact that the Bull Demon King was driven out of Xiniu Hezhou was a shame in his life. When Red Boy saw the other party mention it, his face turned red and he raised his gun to stab.

There is a fairy mountain near the edge of Xiniu Hezhou overseas, where a Bodhisattva lives. It is Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The Bodhisattva was in meditation, and suddenly opened his wisdom eyes. He said to Shancai Longnu who was standing next to the seventh-grade lotus platform: "You go and prepare the altar, and I will use nectar to help Hui'an Xingzhe to catch Red Boy."

Shancai Longnu left, and the Bodhisattva chanted a spell and pulled the magic formula.

Zhou Qing, who was far away in front of the Black Wind Mountain Immortal Mansion, suddenly stopped his disciples from practicing the formation, and all the disciples stopped. The pure glass bottle with willow branches was placed next to Zhou Qing.

Suddenly, the bottle flew up automatically and turned into light and flew into the sky.

"Good, good, good. Disciples, pay attention later."

Zhou Qing said three good words in a row, gave an order, and at the same time raised the bronze bell, and with a clang, the pure glass bottle was covered in it and fell down.
