Chapter 302: Heart Demon Symbiosis

Last time, we talked about how the six-eyed sand spider suddenly behaved unusually when it saw the ruler. So what exactly happened? Let's read on.

Li Yi looked at the six-eyed sand spider in front of him and said in an unbelievable tone: "You are not going to tell me that you are Ying Er!"

As soon as these words came out, the six-eyed sand spider's eyes lit up. It nodded vigorously at Li Yi, then pounced over excitedly, frightening Li Yi so much that he fell to the ground. His inner fear of spiders was still there. Even though he believed that the six-eyed sand spider in front of him was Xia Houying, he couldn't face the reality.

Seeing that Li Yi was afraid of him, the sand spider retreated to the corner in disappointment and lay on the ground motionless. Li Yi stood up awkwardly, picked up the measuring ruler, and tried to turn it into a long sword again, but there was still no response, so he had to put it back into the sack.

Li Yi looked at the six-eyed sand spider, took a deep breath, and then slowly walked over. The sand spider looked at him with a hint of expectation in its eyes, but more of it was loss and helplessness.

Halfway through the walk, Li Yi stopped. He shook his head and sighed, "I'm sorry, even though I'm sure you are my Ying'er, I still can't overcome the fear in my heart." The six-eyed sand spider curled up in the corner, looking aggrieved like a five-meter-tall child.

Li Yi was about to say something, but just as he opened his mouth, the ground began to shake violently. The six-eyed sand spider immediately stood up, wrapped Li Yi with a spider silk and carried him, then quickly ran towards the escape passage.

But it saw a dense crowd of small sand spiders pouring in from the escape passage it had reserved. The six-eyed sand spider immediately ran to the other side and saw a big guy destroying the trap. It should be the mother of the small sand spiders.

In this species of spider, females are larger than males, and much larger. Normally, female spiders will eat male spiders after mating, but female spiders that are undergoing their last molt before adulthood rarely eat the male spiders they mated with. The male spider that mates with the female spider during this period will become the female spider's lifelong partner.

The Yellow Springs Road, which is eight hundred miles in radius, is neither small nor big, but what a coincidence that the ten-foot-tall sand spider is the lifelong partner of the twenty-foot-tall sand spider in front of her. She came here with her child to find her husband.

In nature, spiders are extremely sensitive to smells, and on this road to the underworld, these underworld sandworms are extremely sensitive to souls. When the female spiders sense that their men have been killed, they come for revenge with overwhelming hatred.

Facing an opponent much larger than itself, Xiahou Ying, who had transformed into the Six-Eyed Sand Spider (hereinafter referred to as Xia Liuzhu), knew that it had no chance of winning, so it immediately used its toughest spider silk to roll Li Yi into a ball, then ran towards the escape passage and rushed towards the ground with all its might, ignoring the bites and obstructions of the smaller sand spiders.

Xia Liuzhu took Li Yi out of the nest, and the ground suddenly collapsed into a huge and deep pit. The female sand spider threw out a spider silk, which entangled Xia Liuzhu's hind legs and pulled her down. The latter struggled to throw out the spider silk ball where Li Yi was, and then let out a wail.

Li Yi in the spider silk ball heard Xia Liuzhu's wail, and the scene before Xia Houying's death instantly emerged in his mind. He clenched his fists, and veins popped up all over his body. He would never allow the same thing to happen again, and he would never let Xia Houying die in front of him again!

Li Yi's consciousness came to the spiritual platform. He stood on the head of the Acala Dharma Image and said to the inner demon in the Dharma Crown Jewel: "I know that you have taken away nearly half of my power. Now I can't even use the Vajra Divine Art, but I only want to do one thing, and that is to save Ying'er. If you are unwilling to help me, then I will die with Ying'er!"

"Is it worth it for a woman? There are so many beauties in the world outside!"

"I'll count to three. One, two..."

The spider silk bead exploded, and a ten-foot-tall Dharma image with a red body, three heads and six arms, and a ring of flames behind it appeared. This was the Dharma image of Asura of the Asura clan!

When Li Yi and King Shura first met, King Shura said that the Shura tribe was not a race, but a type of people. The Buddhist slogan that all living beings can become Buddhas is a lie to deceive the world, but it is true that everyone can become a demon!

Asura Dharmakāya jumped into the deep pit, threw Xia Liuzhu back to the ground first, then rode on the head of the big sand spider. The three heads opened their mouths and spit out red, blue and green flames respectively, burning the emerging small sand spiders. The six arms kept beating the head of the big sand spider.

But even with such a crazy attack by Asura Dharmadhatu, it failed to cause any substantial damage to the Big Sand Spider. While trying to shake off Li Yi on her head, the Big Sand Spider spun silk to weave a web to seal the exit of the pit. She should be confident that she can deal with this madman on her head. Obviously, she also has extraordinary strength.

When the web was ready, the big sand spider jumped up and stuck the image of Asura on the web. The latter immediately burned the spider silk with flames, but the spider silk was not afraid of fire, and after burning, the spider silk became even tougher.

The big sand spider climbed onto the web and began to wrap the Asura Dharma Image with spider silk, trying to tie up his hands and feet. Li Yi immediately retracted the Asura Dharma Image, dodged all the spider silk with his agile body movements, and jumped to the bottom of the pit to slaughter the small sand spiders.

The continuous bursting of juice and the screams of the little spiders completely angered the big sand spider. She roared and used her ultimate move, spraying venom with her chelicerae. This was not ordinary venom, but a strong acid that could even melt the sand of the underworld. Li Yi dodged the opponent's venom while communicating with his inner demons.

Li Yi's inner demon stood on top of the Acala Dharma Image on the spiritual platform and muttered, "This guy is too difficult to deal with. Why don't we take Xiahou Ying and leave first!"

"What? Are you scared?"

"Afraid? Humph, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't even dare to fight her face to face! I just think it's meaningless to keep fighting like this. She can't kill us, and we can't kill her either."

"It's just that you don't have the means to kill her, but I do!"

"In your current state, you can't use the skills of the three religions!"

"Then let me use it!"

"Humph, what a calculation! How can I possibly give back the Heavenly Soul that I took away with great difficulty to you!"

Li Yi said disdainfully: "The problem now is that even if I give you all my three souls and seven spirits, you still can't beat me! It's just like that saying, I gave you a chance, but you're useless!"

"Hmph, letting you use the Asura form on this road to the underworld is already the limit. If I let you transform into an Asura again, I'm afraid you will attract Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Hiss, so this is what you were thinking!" The inner demon immediately drilled into the gem of the Acalanatha's Dharma crown and sealed himself up.

In reality, a cow mooing suddenly sounded on the Yellow Springs Road. Upon hearing it, the big sand spider immediately fled with the remaining children. A normal-sized black cow came over and immediately transformed into a human form when he saw Li Yi. It was the Netherworld Spirit Envoy Niutou.

"Moo! Brother Li Yi, why is it you? I just felt a strong Shura force. Are you fighting with the Shura tribe?"

Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Just now I was fighting with a big spider, and the spider ran away when it heard the shouting of Big Brother Niutou."

"Big spider? Moo! I know. The Zoroastrian priests will walk along the Yellow Spring Road when Lady Tai'an wakes up, and they will bring some bugs with them.

Those bugs were corrupted by the evil spirits of hell and turned into soul-devouring insects. Moo, there might be one or two powerful ones appearing, and I think you have encountered them. "

Li Yi bowed and said, "I see. Then we don't need to worry about these dark insects?"

"Moo! Why don't you care? These underworld worms are our brothers' snacks. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said we can eat as much as we want. Moo! Brother Li Yi, you are not dead, why are you here on the road to the underworld?"

"Ah, I want to go to Tianshan Tianchi, so I want to take a shortcut to save some time."

"Moo, I see. Hey, Brother Li, now that you're here, why don't you go and pay your respects to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? The Bodhisattva is always thinking of you!"

"It should be so, but this time, I came here with a mission from Heaven, and I have companions with me, so I'd better wait until I'm done with the business before I go to meet them."

"Moo, Horse-Faced Guard said that the incident in the Western Regions was done by that Zoroastrian Lu Sheng. You are here for him. I think he will not be able to escape this time."

Li Yi bowed and said, "If you trust me, Brother Niutou, then go back and report to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. I guess Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will help and assign new tasks to you two brothers."

"Moo, then don't look for the spider yet. Eat it next time you pass by."

"Oh, Brother Niu, I want to ask for directions. How can I get to the end of the Yellow Spring Road? I want to go to Tianchi from Mingquan."

"Moo, there is only one way to the Yellow Springs. No matter where you enter or exit, you just need to check the boundary markers."

"Hey, then the two brothers can go out through the corresponding entrance to get the souls, right? How did they do that?"

"Moo, it's all thanks to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's seal! Queen Tai'an asked Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to help manage the underworld and granted him a magical power that allows him to travel through the nine springs with his seal."

Niu Tou showed Li Yi the seal on his chest, and then said: "With this seal, the Netherworld Messenger can freely travel through the Nine Springs and reach all parts of the Nine Provinces through the earth veins."

Li Yi nodded and said, "I see. Hey, you said that this is the power bestowed by the Queen Mother Tai'an on Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, so Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Queen Mother Tai'an must be very familiar with each other?"

"Moo, that's natural. If she wasn't familiar with him, how could Empress Tai'an hand over the hell to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

"Thank you, Brother Niutou. Once I find my companion, I will go to pay respect to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Please let him know first."

"Moo, how about I help you find it?"

"No, no, Brother Niutou, just help pass the message."

"Moo, fine, then I'll leave!"

After sending Niu Tou away, Li Yi said, "Come out, now that he's gone, no one will eat you. Ying'er, Ying'er!" Li Yi shouted for a long time but Xia Liuzhu didn't show up, so he immediately became nervous.

At this moment, Xiao Ziyi found Li Yi and asked, "Hey, isn't this the talented Li who is afraid of spiders? Why aren't you afraid of spiders now?"

"how did you find me?"

"Spiritual consciousness, what's wrong?"

"You've gained enlightenment? Then can you find the sand spider from before? That's Ying'er!"

"Xia Houying? Isn't she a human? How did she turn into a sand spider?"

"How would I know that? Help me find her. I'm worried something might have happened to her!"

Xiao Ziyi closed her eyes and felt the spiritual energy around her, then pointed and said, "He's running over there, let's go!"

Xia Liuzhu ran away to avoid Niutou and Li Yi. She was seriously injured and was afraid that she would not live long. She didn't want Li Yi to see her dying, let alone die as a Yellow Springs Sand Spider.

In a dim cave, Xia Liuzhu, covered in wounds, curled up in a corner, waiting for her death. She knew that if she died this time, she would be really dead. Her soul could not enter reincarnation and could only become a part of the resentment of hell. This resentment was the foundation on which Niangniang Tai'an built hell.

Xiahou Ying began to recall how she turned into a sand spider. She still remembered that at that time she was stepping on a golden lotus and was about to cross the Forgetful River. She could even see the fiery red sea of ​​flowers on the other side of the shore.

However, an undercurrent caused the golden lotus to spin and throw her into the river. When she opened her eyes again, she had arrived at the Yellow Spring Road. Because of Deli's Buddhist blessing, Xiahou Ying skipped the Yellow Spring Road and came directly to the Wangchuan River, but this violated the laws of heaven and earth, so she was sent back to the Yellow Spring Road by the guidance spell.

Walking on the Yellow Springs Road, Xiahou Ying felt a little at a loss. Other ghosts had no self-awareness, but she did, which made her seem out of tune with the other undead spirits.
