Chapter 92 Fahai, the so-called human being born of a human mother, and a demon born of a demon moth
Bai Suzhen's desire to join the ranks of immortals was different from Shen Yi's desire to refine elixirs and become a carefree immortal; her requirements were naturally much stricter.
In the original story, Bai Suzhen went to the Dingtongjie Boat to save Xu Xian, but was extorted by the demon boatman for the elixir given by Guanyin. However, only Xiaoqing was present when Guanyin gave the elixir. Even if Xiaoqing was unreliable, she would not have spread the news so widely.
It's obvious without even guessing that this is Guanyin Bodhisattva testing Bai Suzhen.
Later, Guanyin Bodhisattva asked Bai Suzhen to collect tears in the same way. She wanted to be among the immortals, but she did not know the suffering of the human world, nor did she understand birth, old age, sickness, death, love, hate, and separation. How could she become an immortal?
In a sense, Fahai and Bai Suzhen are just like the Demon Lord and Bai Suzhen, a set of mirror images. Fahai thought that he could become a Buddha if he had enough merits, and the Demon Lord thought that he could become an immortal if he had enough spiritual nourishment. But they both overlooked one thing: the reason why immortals are immortals is that they are "people" who have transcended mortals.
If you can't become a human, how can you talk about becoming an immortal?
Just like the immortal who controls the world-crossing boat, although his magic power is mediocre, he has saved countless people. In the original story, he also tried to convert Bai Suzhen and repeatedly reminded her not to fall in love. When Xu Xian came to return the umbrella, he refused to let him in. But in the end, he still couldn't stop this love affair.
But if you're testing Bai Suzhen, don't drag me into it too.
"Fahai, as they say, humans are born of human mothers, and demons are born of demon mothers. All beings are equal. The sea of suffering is boundless; turn back and you will reach the shore..."
In his desperation, Shen Yi poured out all the grand principles in his mind, which made Fahai even more impatient, and he struck again with his palm.
Shen Yi hurriedly raised his sword to defend, and the golden runes on the sword lit up instantly. He crashed into the palm print, but the overwhelming Buddhist power shattered the sword and embedded him into the wall of the Bai residence.
Fahai snorted coldly and raised the purple-gold alms bowl again, about to shine it on Xiaoqing. He couldn't subdue Bai Suzhen, who had profound magical power and no demonic aura, but he could easily subdue Xiaoqing.
"Wait a minute."
Bai Suzhen raised her head, her voice calm, but her eyes held a pleading look, "I can give you the elixir, please spare Xiaoqing and the ginseng spirit."
As for Shen Yi and Ba Liang, although Fahai treated them coldly, he wouldn't go so far as to take their lives, after all, he considered himself a member of the Buddhist community.
Fahai did not answer, but simply extended his other hand. Bai Suzhen took out a jade bottle from her sleeve, and although she looked reluctant, she still handed it over. No matter how precious the elixir was, it was ultimately an external thing.
"elder sister!"
Xiaoqing's eyes were filled with tears as she glared angrily at Fahai. Others might not know, but Xiaoqing knew perfectly well that Bai Suzhen had waited hundreds of years for this elixir.
She hated Fahai's tyranny, but she hated herself even more for being useless.
Fahai took the jade bottle, uncorked it, glanced at the elixir inside, and the light of the elixir reflected on his face, making him appear somewhat sinister under the gloomy demonic sky. Then, he once again aimed the purple-gold bowl at Xiaoqing.
"You bastard!"
Shen Yi thought that although Fahai did inhuman things, he was still a Buddhist monk and monks do not lie. However, he forgot that in the original story, even if Bai Suzhen had saved him and he had been placed with the ginseng spirit, he would have wanted to subdue the ginseng spirit without any regard for the consequences. So what about now?
Shen Yi drew his long sword with a clang, transforming it into a magical shield that blocked Xiao Qing's path. It was their only trophy from the previous battle, the Purple Bat Sword, which in the original story could shatter the White Yi Sword.
This sword was forged from extremely yin and cold materials, and Shen Yi could not refine it as easily as he had refined the eight-ounce broadsword. After all, one was a demon's weapon, and the other was a human's weapon; the feeling of wielding them was completely different. Therefore, he temporarily refined this sword into a magic sword, specifically for setting up formations or blocking enemies.
"Open your mouth!"
Shen Yi shouted and took out the elixir he had refined. The liquid in the jade bottle shot towards Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, and Ba Liang. The three of them subconsciously opened their mouths, and as the liquid entered their throats, a clear and refreshing spiritual power exploded in their bodies in an instant.
Bai Suzhen's broken Baiyi Sword was re-formed under the infusion of spiritual power, and the cracks on the sword slowly healed. Ba Liang even broke free from the wall, his spiritual power surged, and the golden light on his official seal shone like a small sun.
These elixirs were more like tonics than elixirs of immortality. Taking them hastily would only replenish one's magical power, let alone help one become an immortal. They would have very limited effect on improving one's physique. But at this moment, he couldn't care less about that. He had to kill that bastard Fahai first!
Bai Suzhen made the first move. Her Baiyi Sword, imbued with celestial energy, shone like a rainbow as it aimed directly at Fahai. Fahai raised his palm to block, but was forced back half a step by the sword light, his face showing surprise.
The celestial energy contained within this elixir is naturally superior to Fahai's impure Buddhist teachings.
Xiaoqing followed closely behind, thrusting her Azure Rainbow Sword out from the side. A wisp of emerald light condensed at the tip of the sword. Although Fahai dodged it, it still managed to cut a gash in Fahai's monk's robe.
Ba Liang charged straight forward, holding the official seal high. This time, the seal was no longer useless against Fahai, because it contained the immortal energy from the elixir. Fahai dared not resist it and was forced to retreat several steps by the seal's light, leaving a long trail on the ground with his staff.
Shen Yi did not rush forward. The Purple Bat Sword could not withstand the immortal energy, and forcibly infusing it would only destroy it. He could only use the technique of One-Finger Divine Skill to transform the immortal energy into a gas bullet and shoot it at Fahai.
As for why he knows the One-Finger Divine Skill—you'd have to ask Shen Yi from the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
Fahai hurriedly raised his staff to block, his finger flick colliding with the staff, producing a deafening crash. Fahai was forced to kneel on one knee, and a fine crack appeared on the staff.
How is that possible?
These people actually possess elixirs?
Fahai was completely stunned. If it weren't for the bad timing, he would have loved to swallow the elixir on the spot and have a divine duel with the other party.
Just as Bai Suzhen needed to find a safe place when she took the elixir, Fahai was only possessed by demons, but he was not stupid, so of course he would not swallow the elixir at this time.
Seeing the four people full of vigor, their magical power not only fully restored but even stronger than before, Fahai felt his own Buddhist light as fragile as paper in the face of this power, and he couldn't help but want to retreat.
If I take this elixir, I will surely be stronger than them and be able to subdue these monsters.
Upon realizing this, Fahai wanted to escape and come back another day. However, the four of them were unwilling to let him go and surrounded him from all sides.
Fahai was secretly annoyed and turned the purple-gold bowl to shine on Bai Suzhen.
Bai Suzhen thought Fahai was going to attack her, so she hurriedly raised her sword to block him. But a white shadow shot out from it, startling Bai Suzhen. She quickly withdrew her sword to catch it.
Taking advantage of this moment, Fahai's monk robe fluttered as he swept past Bai Suzhen. Bai Suzhen grabbed the ginseng spirit with one hand and was about to stop him when a golden cone shot through the air towards the ginseng spirit. She had no choice but to turn around and block, but with this strike, the Baiyi sword in her hand broke into two pieces.
Upon seeing Bai Suzhen's sword broken, the group hesitated. The four of them were working together, with Bai Suzhen as the leader, but now that her sword was broken, it was hard to say who would win if they chased after her.
While everyone was still stunned, Fahai seized the opportunity to escape.
