Chapter 266 Two hundred and sixty six.
"Jade Bodhi?"

Cao Yanbing repeated the name.

"Why? Is there any special origin?"

Seeing that the two seemed interested, Bai Shuier continued:
"Legend has it that a long time ago, a god traveled here and settled down as a resident. All the kind-hearted dead souls were protected by him. His arrival brought endless peace and tranquility to this land. The god not only possesses powerful magic power, but also has a compassionate heart. He uses his power to protect every life here, whether it is the living or the dead.

The immortal lived in the village for many years, teaching the villagers how to live in harmony with nature, how to cultivate their character, and how to pray for blessings. His wisdom and benevolence made the villagers deeply admire him, and everyone affectionately called him "the guardian immortal."

However, everything has its ups and downs, and even gods have their lifespans exhausted one day. In the last moments of his life, he did not choose to leave the land he loved so much, but decided to turn his life into eternal protection. So he sat cross-legged in an open space in the center of the village, closed his eyes and meditated, and eventually turned into a tall Bodhi tree.

This Bodhi tree is lush and evergreen all year round, and the figure of a god can be vaguely seen on its trunk. The villagers believe that this Bodhi tree is the incarnation of a god, and it has protected the dead people in the village for generations. Whether it is day or night, whether it is windy or sunny, this Bodhi tree always stands tall and brings endless blessings to the villagers.

Every night, a low chant can be heard under the Bodhi tree, which is the souls of the dead expressing their gratitude to the gods. They believe that the souls of the gods still exist on this land, silently guarding them.

Villagers often come to the Bodhi tree, burn incense and pray, and tell the gods their wishes and confusions. The Bodhi tree is always full of peace and tranquility, as if the power of the gods is still protecting them invisibly.

This legend has been passed down from generation to generation, and every villager has kept it in mind. No matter how time changes, this Bodhi tree has always been a holy place in their hearts, a symbol of their faith and hope. It is precisely because of the protection of this guardian fairy that they can live and work in peace on this land without competing with the world.

Under the Bodhi tree, the compassion and wisdom of the gods are forever engraved in the hearts of the villagers. Whenever they look up at the tall tree crown, a sense of warmth and strength will surge in their hearts. This Bodhi tree is not only the incarnation of the gods, but also the sustenance and protection of their hearts. "

Bai Shuier told Cao Yanbing and Xia Ling the origin of the Jade Bodhi.

Cao Yanbing murmured:

"This Bodhi tree is the Jade Bodhi! It has the same ability to divide space as the Xihe Divine Pearl, but the range is smaller."

The legendary Jade Bodhi tree has magical power, which can divide space within a specific range and form an independent barrier. This ability makes it a treasured guardian object for the villagers. Although its power is not as vast as the legendary Xihe Divine Pearl, the protection of this Jade Bodhi tree is enough to make the villagers sleep peacefully in the small area of ​​the village.

Although the range of the Jade Bodhi's enchantment is small, its protective power is extremely strong. Whether it is the invasion of evil spirits or the harassment of natural disasters, the Jade Bodhi can block them with its powerful power, creating a peaceful and harmonious living space for the villagers.

This jade Bodhi tree is not only the guardian of the village, but also the spiritual sustenance of the villagers.

"Now, everyone lives in a paradise, without having to worry about the invasion of evil spirits. However, we also have to thank Master Men for his protection."

Bai Shui'er said this with gratitude in her eyes.

"Master Men?"

When Xia Ling heard this unfamiliar name, she asked subconsciously.

"Oops, I've been too talkative again!"

Bai Shuier then realized that she had spoken too much.

"Could it be that you are talking about the commander of Yulin Street?"

Cao Yanbing stroked his chin with his hand and thought about it carefully.

"That was in the past! Later, Commander Men decided to resign from his original position and come here to protect everyone!"

Seeing that Cao Yanbing really wanted to know Commander Men, Bai Shuier excitedly explained to Cao Yanbing.

"The leader of the Spirit Armor Army is so casual."

Cao Yanbing was a little surprised when he heard that Commander Men had resigned to protect Mingjing Village.

"Boss?"

"Oh! I really want to meet him!"

Bodhi Street at this moment, in the suburbs.

A burly middle-aged man in a camouflage jacket was particularly eye-catching. His black hair was messy, as if he had experienced countless wind, frost, rain and snow. His beard was untidy, making him look rough and unruly. His deep eyes showed a kind of determination and courage, and his eyebrows revealed a strong military temperament.

He was tall and strong, with clear muscle lines, as if every muscle contained great power. The camouflage jacket was tightly attached to his body, showing his strong arms and broad chest. Although the clothes were a little old, they could not conceal his innate majesty and momentum.

His face was covered with traces of time, and several deep wrinkles seemed to tell of the hardships and battles he had experienced in the past. His palms were rough and strong, and there were faint scars on his knuckles, which were all marks left by his fighting on the battlefield.

Despite his untidy beard, his eyes were extremely sharp, as if they could penetrate all hypocrisy and lies. He stood there, imposing without even getting angry, and the people around him could not help but feel an invisible pressure. His temperament was full of iron-blooded heroism, a unique temperament that only those who had been through many battles and experienced the test of life and death could possess.

His every move was full of the competence and decisiveness of a soldier, without any unnecessary movements, and every step was steady and powerful. Although he looked a little tired, the tenacity and perseverance emanating from his bones made it impossible to ignore his presence.

He sat on a small hill with a pile of evil spirit corpses, and his burly body in a camouflage top looked even more majestic. His black hair was messy, as if he had just escaped from a fierce battle, his beard was untidy, and his face covered in blood and sweat showed a coldness and fortitude that could not be ignored.

Around him, there were countless corpses of evil spirits. He had already killed many of these hideous creatures, and their corpses had piled up into a terrifying mountain of corpses. His deep eyes flashed with a hint of hideousness, but more of it was a kind of tranquility after victory, endless contempt for evil spirits, and absolute confidence in his own strength.

In his hand he held a sharp blade that was already stained with blood, and the blade gleamed coldly in the dim light. Although the battle situation was clear, he remained highly alert, ready to respond to new threats at any time. His strong arms and broad chest seemed to be announcing to the remaining evil spirits:
"Come, you must die!" He sat there, staring into the distance, as if thinking about something. Perhaps he was recalling his lost comrades, or perhaps he was planning his next move. No matter what he was thinking about, the tenacity and perseverance that emanated from his bones made it impossible to ignore his presence.

In the middle of this murderous battlefield, he pulled out a bottle of wine from his pocket, unscrewed the cap, and drank leisurely. The wine in the bottle glowed golden in the dim light, forming a sharp contrast with his bloodstained hands. He raised his head and took a sip, and the wine flowed down his throat into his body, bringing a burst of coolness and stimulation.

His posture was so casual, as if what was piled under him was not the hideous corpses of evil spirits, but a piece of soft grass. Every sip of wine seemed to wash away the bloody storm he had just experienced, and a trace of relaxation and satisfaction gradually emerged on his tired face.

Although the air was filled with the strong smell of blood and gun smoke, he was contentedly enjoying this moment of tranquility. His rough fingers gently stroked the bottle, as if it was his most precious trophy. Every time he drank, it seemed as if he was declaring to those fallen enemies that he was still standing and fearless.

In this battlefield full of death and terror, this middle-aged man showed his fearlessness and heroism in an almost wild manner. His iron-blooded temperament formed a wonderful contrast with the bottle of wine in his hand, which made people sigh at his courage and tenacity.

In front of him, not far away, a group of evil spirits were ready to move. These evil spirits were in different shapes and had hideous faces, with bloodthirsty light flashing in their eyes. They roared in a low voice, as if waiting for the best opportunity to pounce on the human warrior again and tear him into pieces.

Although the evil spirits seemed extremely ferocious, he was not afraid at all. He raised his head and took another big sip of wine, as if making final preparations for the upcoming battle. The wine slid down his throat, bringing a sense of coolness and stimulation, which made him feel refreshed.

"How long are you guys going to keep messing with me?"

"The guy behind me is getting a little impatient!"

Behind him sat a terrifying giant ape with its back to him.

This giant ape was huge, like a moving hill. Its strong body was bulging with muscles, and each muscle seemed to contain infinite power. Its thick arms were like two huge pillars, and its fists were clenched, showing an amazing sense of strength.

The giant ape was wearing a heavy armor made of black metal with complex patterns on the surface, which looked both majestic and mysterious. The armor was tightly attached to its muscles, and every time it moved, it made a dull metal collision sound, as if the drums on the battlefield were cheering it on.

A huge string of Buddhist beads hangs on its chest. Each of these beads is the size of a fist and emits a faint light, adding a touch of mystery and solemnity to this mighty giant ape. The beads sway gently with its movements, making crisp collision sounds, as if they are whispering ancient scriptures.

The face of the giant ape was covered with deep wrinkles, a face that had been through many hardships, and its eyes shone with wisdom and determination. Its sharp fangs were exposed from the corners of its mouth, adding a bit of ferocity to it, but forming a wonderful contrast with the solemnity of the Buddhist beads.

It has a thick tail with a ball of fluffy hair at the end, which sways gently with every movement. Although this giant ape looks extremely powerful, its eyes reveal a trace of calmness and compassion.

This giant ape is not only a warrior, but also a guardian spirit with wisdom and strength. Its burly body, bulging muscles, heavy armor and huge Buddhist beads all tell of its extraordinary and mysterious nature.

The man was Bei Luo Shimen, and the giant ape was his guardian spirit, Shi Lingming, the beast martial spirit.

"You guys come together!"

Bei Luo Shimen took a sip of wine leisurely and said something casually.

"Don't be too arrogant!"

Bei Luo Shimen's indifferent action made the evil spirits furious, and they rushed towards Bei Luo Shimen with roars.

"An eyesore!"

The giant ape stood up and waved the black gold dragon stick in his hand.

The giant ape's burly body stood out on the battlefield, like a moving mountain. It held a black and gold dragon-coiled stick in its hand. The stick was extremely thick, with an exquisite golden dragon carving coiled on it, which was lifelike and seemed to be roaring in the battle.

The Panlong Staff shone with a deep metallic luster. As the giant ape swung it, the scales of the golden dragon seemed to dance in the dim light, emitting a fascinating aura. The giant ape tightly grasped the handle of the staff, and each attack was as powerful as thunder, as if it could tear the air apart and emit a deafening roar.

The giant ape's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and it let out a deafening roar, the sound was like a landslide, shaking every living being present. The surrounding evil spirits were frightened by the huge momentum, and retreated one after another, with fear on their faces.

Without a moment's hesitation, the giant ape suddenly rushed towards the evil spirits that were ready to move. Its movements were swift and powerful, and each step left deep footprints on the ground. The Panlong stick was wielded like the wind in its hand, and each strike accurately hit the evil spirits, bursting out sparks and flashes.

The evil spirits fell one after another under the attack of the giant ape. The moment their bodies touched the Panlong Stick, they were torn into pieces by the terrible force. Every attack of the giant ape was accompanied by incomparable power, as if the heaven and earth were trembling under its power.

The armor of the giant ape kept making heavy metal collision sounds as it moved, and the Buddhist beads swayed gently on its chest, making crisp collision sounds, as if cheering for its every victory. Its strong body was extremely dazzling on the battlefield, and every swing of its stick was like thunder, making it impossible for the evil spirits to resist.

"boom!"

Shi Lingming swept through the enemy with one strike. In an instant, the earth cracked, the mountains shook, and earth and rocks flew everywhere, with sand and stones flying everywhere.

The evil spirits were no match at all and were all reduced to ashes in a single blow.

"You should check in on another street!"

Seeing this, Bei Luo Shimen stood up, turned his back to the evil spirits, and threw the unfinished bottle of wine back, spilling the remaining wine.

Shi Lingming and Bei Luo Shimen stood back to back.

"I'm closing early here!"

Bei Luo Shimen, the Soul-Suppressing General of Bodhi Street, former Commander of the Spirit Armor Army of Yulin Street.
