Chapter 140 Buddhism
The ghost general pulled the soul hook and dragged Shi Potian’s soul to his side. Such a pure soul would be a great tonic for him whether it was used for practicing martial arts or refining magic weapons, or even if it was directly swallowed.

Yan Chixia shouted angrily: “Let him go!” He swung the sword in his hand with all his might, cut off the nearby roots, and leaped towards the ghost general to kill him.

boom!
The ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded, and a huge tongue as thick as a millstone emerged from the ground like a giant python and stabbed towards Yan Chixia from top to bottom.

Yan Chixia quickly turned his body to the side and dodged to the side, but he was in mid-air and his speed was far slower than that of the tongue.

Just for a moment.

The tongue had already reached behind Yan Chixia.

puff!
The tip of the tongue suddenly split open, grabbing Yan Chixia like a claw, and at the same time revealing the locust tree spirit hidden inside.

The locust tree spirit had a ferocious look on his face and laughed wildly, “Damn Taoist, I’m going to suck all your blood and yang energy!” His hands suddenly popped out and turned into countless roots, which quickly spread and pointed directly at Yan Chixia’s mouth.

But the next second, the smile on the locust tree spirit’s face froze, and was replaced by astonishment.

But he saw Yan Chixia suddenly turned his head, without any panic on his face, only a murderous sneer.

Zheng!
The sword case behind Yan Chixia suddenly opened, and an ancient sword flew out of the air, turning into a white light, like a rainbow piercing the sun, and pierced towards the locust tree spirit.

Boom boom boom boom…

The sword entered from the tip of the tongue, along the tongue, all the way through the ground.

Wherever it passed, there were constant explosions, tongues were shattered into pieces, and pieces of flesh and blood were scattered all over the ground.

With the last loud bang, the ground suddenly sank, mud splashed all over the sky, and the screams of the locust tree spirit stopped abruptly.

The howling sounds of ghosts and wolves echoing in the woods suddenly stopped, and the surroundings fell into dead silence.

The ghost general opened his eyes wide, his face full of shock and disbelief.

He has always looked down upon the despicable tricks of the locust tree spirit to force good women into prostitution and absorb people’s yang energy. Therefore, he did not take Yan Chixia, who injured the locust tree spirit, seriously. It was not until he saw the sword in front of him that he realized that Yan Chixia’s strength was far beyond his expectations.

Seeing Yan Chixia turning his head to look at him, the ghost general’s heart trembled. Without any hesitation, he pinched the magic formula with his right hand and muttered, “Open!”

Yan Chixia’s face changed and he hurriedly shouted, “Stop!” He wanted to step forward to stop it, but it was too late.

Ripples appeared in the void, and the ghost general and Shi Potian’s soul disappeared in an instant.

……

Shi Potian only felt a flash before his eyes, and the scene around him was completely different.

The sky, which was originally dark and gloomy with low-hanging dark clouds, has now turned pitch black. The surrounding grass and trees have all disappeared, replaced by an empty space and barren black land underfoot.

A desolate and thick gloomy aura permeated the surroundings, as if even the air had become sticky and heavy.

“Is this… the underworld?”

Shi Potian opened his mouth wide. He had heard a lot of legends about the underworld, but he never expected that he would be…

No, it should be that he was pulled here by a ghost in advance.

Shi Potian’s heart began to panic. He didn’t want to die like this, so he used his arms to struggle against the soul-catching chain.

hum!
The dark patterns engraved on the Soul-Catching Lock suddenly lit up and began to shrink inward.

The harder he struggled, the tighter the soul-binding chain became.

The ghost general sneered, “Boy, don’t waste your energy. This soul-binding lock is used by ghost officials to capture evil ghosts. It is specifically used to restrain the power of souls. You are just a mortal, you can’t break free.”

Before he finished speaking, he discovered that the light on the soul-catching lock flickered and made a rustling sound. Not only did it stop shrinking inward, but it even showed signs of being stretched out by Shi Potian. The ghost general was not panicked but delighted, and shouted repeatedly: “Great! Not only is it pure, but the power of your soul is even stronger than those evil spirits who have practiced for a hundred years! If I offer you to the king, I will definitely get a big reward! Hahahaha!”

The ghost general laughed loudly, pinched his fingers together, poured his magic power into the soul-catching lock, and said, “Collect!”

The soul-catching lock suddenly shone brightly and suddenly shrank inwards.

Shi Potian was caught off guard, and his arms were strangled at his sides. He lost his balance and fell to the ground, with a Buddhist scripture falling out of his arms.

“The Diamond Sutra?!”

Shi Potian was stunned.

This Diamond Sutra was given to him by Yan Chixia in order to make his soul follow him, and he has kept it in his arms ever since.

But he didn’t expect that this “Diamond Sutra” would come to the underworld with his soul.

call–

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the Diamond Sutra began to flip through the pages.

The Diamond Sutra was written in Sanskrit. Shi Potian had never learned it and did not recognize it. He only learned from Yan Chixia that the first sentence in the book was “Prajna Paramita”.

He had glanced through it before, but couldn’t understand it and didn’t find anything strange in it.

But at this moment, these Sanskrit words seemed to come alive in his eyes, turning into golden tadpoles, jumping up and down in different postures, and finally swam towards him together and bumped into his eyebrows.

Shi Potian stood there, feeling countless images flashing through his mind. He subconsciously sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.

He was tied with a soul-binding chain and should not have been able to sit cross-legged, but at this moment the soul-binding chain seemed to be non-existent and did not restrict him at all.

“What is this kid doing?”

Although the ghost general didn’t understand why, he realized that something was wrong. He was about to step forward to interrupt when he suddenly noticed a fluctuation of magical power behind him.

Looking back.

I saw a neat crack appear in the void, and then I saw Yan Chixia jumping in from the crack.

The ghost general was horrified and said, “Yan, Yan Chixia? How dare you, a living person, trespass into the underworld?!”

Yan Chixia had just broken through the boundary between Yin and Yang, and his expression was still a little dazed. When he came to his senses, he cursed: “You think I want to come to this damn place! Bastard, I must take you, this evil demon, into my hands today!”

Yan Chixia knew very well that a living person trespassing into the underworld was like a sheep among wolves. Once the news leaked out, not only would the underworld send people to capture and punish him severely, but other evil ghosts would not let go of this fat piece of meat that was in their mouths and would certainly attack him in groups.

Yan Chixia did not dare to delay at all. He immediately made use of the sword gesture and was about to urge the sword to kill the ghost general, and then immediately take Shi Potian back to the human world.

Sudden.

A Buddha’s light lit up.

I saw a circle of golden Buddha light appearing around Shi Potian, with countless Sanskrit words floating in it, and faint Sanskrit sounds echoing in my ears.

The Buddha’s light spread out like ripples, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

Shi Potian sat cross-legged with a serene expression, as if he had entered some mysterious realm.

The soul-catching chain on his body actually began to loosen under the illumination of the Buddha’s light, and finally broke with a “click” and dissipated into tiny wisps of black smoke.
