Chapter 156: Incantation of Rebirth!

  The female ghost let out a loud cry, although she could feel that Zhou Mingxuan posed a great threat to her, but she wasn't afraid at all. With a wave of her large sleeve, countless flower petals floated away, like thin blades, and Zhou Mingxuan retreated.

  Xiao Yun busily deployed the colored clouds to chase the moon, dodging to one side. Zhou Mingxuan, on the other hand, took a step forward and leaped into the air, his heroic aura radiating outward. In front of him, a pale blue protective shield formed, which the knife shards struck against. The shield merely swayed gently a few times before sending those petal-like fragments flying outwards.

  With a flick of his finger, a green sword aura burst out from the tip of his finger and shot straight at the female ghost with lightning speed. This was the realm of Musician, where one didn't need an instrument; as long as they had a battle melody on their body, they could easily unleash its power.

  "Kill!"

  The female ghost's body flashed, and when she reappeared, she was already standing on the wooden stake. Accompanied by a strange whistle, countless tree vines burst out of the ground, breaking through the earth like black giant pythons, wrapping around Zhou Mingxuan. Zhou Mingxuan's sword energy, after cutting off several vines, finally dissipated.

  "Good fellow!"

  At this scene, Zhou Mingxuan was also startled, it was clear that the fight with the monk just now, this female ghost had not used her full strength yet.

  "Xiao brothers, hurry up!"

  Zhou Mingxuan soared into the air, a long sword appearing in his hand. The war melody infused him, conjuring multiple sword silhouettes that charged towards the sprawling tree vines above. The torches stuck in the ground by Qiu Ming and Shang had gradually gone out, plunging the forest into cold darkness. As a top musician at the beginning of his career, Zhou Mingxuan's eyesight far surpassed that of ordinary people, but in this place, he was still restricted, relying solely on his intuition to attack. The female ghost may not have been as powerful as Zhou Mingxuan, but she had the upper hand in terms of terrain, almost overwhelming him.

  "Here I come!"

  Xiao Yun was not worried about Zhou Mingxuan's safety, Zhou Mingxuan had just spoken so confidently, no matter how powerful the female ghost was, he should still be able to take care of himself.

  Xiao Guangming Buddha's song adds to his body, Xiao Yun's cloud-like legs sit cross-legged, a bright spot in the forest, taking out the nine heavens and placing them on both knees, closing his eyes for a moment, ten fingers lightly stroking the strings.

  "Namo Amitabha, Tathagata, Dharmakara, Amrita, Abhraka, Siddhartha, Amritayus, Vimala, Amritayus, Vimuktisena, Guna, Gunanidhana, Sarvarthasiddhi, Svaha..."

  The Buddha's voice rose, the Sanskrit chant was born, accompanied by that majestic and solemn piano sound, Xiao Yun's face was solemn and low-key chanting.

  Amituofo!

  This is one of the few Buddhist music scores that Xiao Yun knew in his previous life, used to deliver the spirits of the dead, can eliminate the four heavy sins, the five rebellious sins, the ten karma sins, and even the heavy karma obstacles of slandering the highest sacred scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism can be eliminated. Using it to deliver a fierce ghost should not be difficult either.

  This mantra is of a rather high level, but the specific level is unclear. However, it can be confirmed that it exceeds the Xian Qu. Xiao Yun only transcribed it into a seven-stage precise spectrum, which is different from the monk's Pei Xie Mantra earlier. The Pei Xie Mantra completely annihilates the ghost spirit, and its method is somewhat ruthless. On the other hand, the Wang Sheng Mantra dissolves the evil energy, resentment, and sin on the ghost spirit, guiding it towards goodness.

  Of course, Xiao Yun can also choose another Buddhist music that he knows, which is "Mahakaruna Dharani", but he has tried to write the precise score of Mahakaruna Dharani, however it's extremely difficult and hasn't been written out yet.

  The Mahayana Sutra was chanted, and its power was absolutely earth-shattering. This fierce ghost would definitely be scared out of her wits. After hearing the story about this fierce ghost, Xiao Yun only felt sympathy for her. Although she had harmed people, Xiao Yun, like Zhou Mingxuan, did not want to take her life, but rather help her attain enlightenment.

  The sound of the mantra resonated repeatedly, the majestic aura burst forth, and on the strings of the zither, arrays of golden light radiated, wrapping around the body of Xiao Yun, an auspicious Buddhist mark appeared on his forehead.

  Zhou Mingxuan, who was fighting the female ghost in the dark, suddenly felt that the female ghost's attack was slowing down. The Buddhist chanting in his ears also made him feel refreshed and empty-minded.

  "Roar!"

  In contrast to Zhou Mingxuan, the female ghost felt extreme pain when she heard Xiao Yun chant the Rebirth Mantra, as if a mighty force was crashing into her soul wave after wave. Her spiritual body even felt physical pain, and it seemed like it was about to disperse. She let out an angry roar, abandoned her entanglement with Zhou Mingxuan, and pounced directly at Xiao Yun.

  "Be careful, Xiao brothers!"

  In the dark and gloomy environment, Zhou Mingxuan was completely unguarded. By the time he realized the female ghost was pouncing on Xiao Yun, it was already too late to rescue her.

  At this moment, Xiao Yun was like an old monk sitting still, facing the female ghost rushing towards him, without any retreat or evasion, and even his expression didn't change a bit, his mouth still chanting.

  The female ghost dived down, her right hand directly grasping towards Xiao Yun's face, the dark wind howling, the ghost wailing mournfully. Xiao Yun could even clearly see that on the female ghost's beautiful face, there were strands of black air swirling around, and in her eyes, only a deep-seated hatred and anger remained.

  Seeing Xiao Yun not resisting, a cold smile flashed across the female ghost's eyes. Although she wasn't physical, she could guarantee that with this one swipe, she would definitely take this person's life.

  "Ah!"

  A shrill scream, just as the female ghost was about to triumph, but found that her right hand, which was only half a foot away from Xiaoyun's head, was blocked by a faint golden light and couldn't move forward. A strange tingling sensation spread through her right hand as it came into contact with the golden light, followed by a hissing explosion, and her right hand seemed to be corroded by strong acid, with the surrounding black air rapidly dissipating.

  Buddha's light, it is Buddha's light!

  The female ghost was inexplicably terrified, wanting to withdraw her right hand, but at this moment, the faint Buddha seal on Xiao Yun's forehead slowly rotated, forming a golden whirlpool with an enormous suction force that tightly sucked her hand in, making it impossible for her to escape.

  "Ah, let me go quickly..."

  A shrill scream came from the female ghost's mouth, and Xiao Yun's humming voice made her feel a great sense of danger. The buzzing sound in her ears was like a swarm of flies that she couldn't shake off. An inexplicable feeling of disgust arose from the extreme pain of her soul, making her want to escape, but she couldn't escape no matter what.

  "Namo Amitabha, Tathagata, Dharmakara, Amrita, Siddhartha, Adharma, Vimala, Acala, Manjusri, Mahasthamaprapta, Avalokiteshvara..."

  Xiao Yun had no compassion at this moment, and he kept chanting the Buddhist mantra of reincarnation. As he chanted, the Buddha's light on his body grew stronger and stronger. A shadow of a Buddha gradually condensed behind Xiao Yun.

  Under the Buddha's light, the entire forest was filled with wonderful sounds, wafting fragrances, and golden Buddhist lights that repeatedly washed over the female ghost's spirit. Black air escaped from her body at high speed, and her struggles grew weaker, her mournful cries smaller.

  When Xiao Yun had chanted the incantation of reincarnation for the thirteenth time, the female ghost had completely given up struggling and her body, which was suspended in mid-air, slowly floated down. The Buddha's seal on her gradually lost its attractive force.

  The female ghost's evil energy dissipated, restoring her beautiful appearance. She sat cross-legged in front of Xiao Yun, basking in the Buddha's light and quietly listening to his chanting. At this moment, she no longer felt any pain, but instead felt a warm sensation throughout her body. Her soul seemed to have been sublimated at this moment. Her eyes no longer held hatred or resentment, only calmness.

  The Buddha's light repeatedly washed over the female ghost's body, striving to eliminate all the negative forces on her. Therefore, Xiao Yun did not stop and continued to recite the Rebirth Mantra twenty-one times before stopping.

  "Clang!"

  As the last note fell, the Buddha's light on Xiao Yun's body slowly faded away, and the Buddha's seal on his forehead also disappeared. The forest was quiet and silent, with only the lingering sound of the Buddha's voice seemingly still echoing.

  "Whoosh!"

  A golden light broke through the clouds and fell straight into the forest, pouring into Xiao Yun's mind. It was a golden light of merit, but Xiao Yun was very clear that this was not the new melody of merit. He played only the essence of the Rebirth Mantra, not the original score, which could not bring merit. Moreover, he was also unclear whether there was a Rebirth Mantra in the Buddhist music of Leshan Continent.
