The Counterattack of the Villains

The holy land of Xitian Lingshan is surrounded by golden Buddha light, shining in all directions.

There is a temple on Lingshan Mountain, which is sacred, solemn, majestic and huge, and is called Dayei Temple.

Bursts of Sanskrit Zen chants rang out from the Great Leiyin Temple and spread all around Lingshan.

In the Mahavira Hall, the Tathagata sits high on a lotus platform with a six-foot-long golden body. The body shines with immeasurable Buddha light. There is a faint smile on his chubby face, showing compassion and peace.

On the two smaller lotus pedestals to the left and right of the Tathagata, there are two attendant Bodhisattvas, Manjushri and Samantabhadra.

But Guanyin is not here. Her dojo is in Chaoyin Cave in Zizhu Forest, Luojia Mountain, Nanhai. Unless there is something important, people usually don't come to Daleiyin Temple.

Manjushri Samantabhadra is the Tathagata's attendant Bodhisattva, equivalent to the status of an assistant, and naturally always accompanies the Tathagata.

Under the Tathagata and the attendant Bodhisattvas on the left and right, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are either sitting cross-legged or standing solemnly and quietly.

On the left and right sides of the main hall, the Eighteen Arhats are in different postures, sitting or lying motionless, just like statues.

After the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, there are the eight tribes, the eighteen guardian garlands, and the twenty-eight ancestors of the Western Heaven.

Needless to say, Babu Zhong and Shiba Jialan are quite well-known.

Many people are not familiar with the combination of the Twenty-Eight Ancestors of the West, but if you mention a few of their names individually, they will be familiar to you.

For example, the first ancestor is Maha Kassapa, and the second ancestor is Ananda. They are all direct disciples of the Tathagata.

The names of other people are unknown, but the Twenty-eighth Patriarch is famous.

The Twenty-Eighth Patriarch is called Bodhidharma. He is the Patriarch Bodhidharma who spent nine years facing the wall of Mount Song, created seventy-two unique skills, and founded the Shaolin Temple.

After becoming a Buddha and becoming an ancestor, his seventy-two unique skills were evolved into seventy-two magical powers, which are very powerful. They are better than the seventy-two transformations of the earth evil, and are better at fighting.

Bodhidharma is ranked last, and his cultivation level is not the highest, but his combat ability is the undisputed first among the twenty-eight ancestors of the West.

Behind the Twenty-eight Patriarchs of the Western Heaven, there were five hundred Arhats sitting on futons in meditation. Li Mu's third senior brother, the Golden Body Arhat Sha Wujing, was among them.

After the five hundred Arhats, there are three thousand Dharma protectors who reveal the truth.

Within the Great Hall, there is no one whose cultivation level is lower than that of the Golden Immortal.

Jinxian is the guaranteed state to enter the Mahavira Hall, and Daluo has some say. It can be seen that the depth and strength of Buddhism today are far from comparable to that of heaven.

At this time, Manjushri Bodhisattva was asking the Tathagata: "I, Buddha, in recent years, Buddhism has become very popular, but I don't know why?"

The Tathagata smiled and looked at one of the Buddhas, and said slowly: "This is the merit of the Buddha Zhan Tan."

Tang Sanzang looked at the Tathagata in confusion and said: "This disciple has been listening to my Buddha's wonderful teachings in Lingshan for decades and has never gone out. How can this be the merit of a disciple?"

The Tathagata smiled and said: "The disciples you accepted more than thirty years ago have been traveling all over the southern continent for more than ten years, subduing demons and eliminating demons, helping the world and saving people, promoting Buddhism, and bringing salvation to all peoples."

"His name as a living Buddha is known all over the world, and the incense in Buddhism is flourishing. His merits are truly immeasurable."

"Sea of ​​Dharma?" Tang Sanzang suddenly understood, and he happily declared: "Amitabha, it is good, it is good."

Just when he finished speaking, the expressions of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the hall changed, and they all looked towards Nanzhan Buzhou.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's eyes shone brightly and he said: "This is one of my Buddhist disciples who has achieved fruition and has broken through the Great Law, but I don't know which one he is."

Tathagata counted with his fingers, and couldn't help but feel very happy, and said with a smile: "I was still talking about him just now, but now I've been waiting for another surprise."

Tang Sanzang said in surprise and joy: "It is my little disciple who has attained Daluo? How is this possible? Even if he has the wisdom of heaven, it has only been more than thirty years!"

The Tathagata smiled and said, "I won't hide it from you until now. Your closed disciple was King Mohuraka in his previous life."

"Because he broke the precepts and flattered others in his previous life, was too angry and gave little, was greedy for alcohol and meat, was slow to abstain from spiritual disciplines, and had many angry insects entering his body, he was ordered by Amitabha to be reincarnated and rehabilitate."

"Since I entered the Dharma Sea of ​​this life, I have upheld my integrity with my whole heart, gained merits, and regained the Dharma power of my previous life. Therefore, I have attained Daluo in just over thirty years. This is all due to your teachings."

After listening to the Tathagata's explanation, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas suddenly realized it. Some of them joined together, or some raised their palms and recited: "Amitabha, good, good, good."

Mahulaka, originally the great python god, is one of the eight celestial dragons, ranking the youngest, and King Mahulaka is the leader.

"The Tantan Merit Buddha has perfected the Dharma Sea's merits and merits. He should be granted the official status. It is up to you, the master, to lead him back to Lingshan!"

Tang Sanzang said happily: "Disciple, please obey the law."

…

There is an island in the Yangtze River in Zhenjiang Prefecture, and there is a Jinshan Mountain on the island. The Jinshan Temple is located on the Jinshan Mountain.

In The Legend of White Snake, Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qingshui flood the Jinshan Mountains, which is the water of the Yangtze River.

The Jinshan Temple in this prehistoric world is so majestic that the entire mountain has been hollowed out. The Jinshan Temple is inside the mountain, and there are huge Buddha statues carved everywhere outside the mountain.

The steps extend from the entrance of the temple to the middle of the Yangtze River. If you can't fly, you can only use a ferry to get in and out.

At this time, in the sky above Jinshan Temple, the Buddha's light was shining, golden lotuses were blooming, and the long river of time and space appeared. Countless seas of dharma jumped out of the long river and submerged into Li Mu's body on the top of the mountain.

On the top of Jinshan Mountain, the monks of Jinshan Temple kowtowed to the top of the mountain. Bai Suzhen and others were very happy.

The enlightened Daluo is the only one from now on, not in the past, not in the future, but only in the present.

This is of great significance to a monk.

Because there is a method in the world that can directly erase the target's past or future from the long river of time and space.

When the past you are erased, the present and future you will disappear and cease to exist.

It's a very simple truth, you were already dead in the past, so naturally you wouldn't exist now.

And if you are erased in a certain period of time in the future, then when you live until that time, you will definitely die.

One is "You are already dead" and the other is "You are dead".

But once you attain enlightenment and become the only true self, and your past and future will not exist, this method will no longer be able to deal with you.

At the moment when Li Mu broke through Da Luo, a burst of magic power was born out of thin air in his body. At the same time, the seal of reincarnation memory was broken, and a stream of memories belonging to the past life poured into Li Mu's mind.

Only then did he realize that Fa Hai had such a big background and was not just an ordinary human being with no roots.

But no matter what he was in his previous life, in this life he is just Fahai of the human race.

To put it more deeply, no matter what the role is, he will always be Li Mu.

Just like Zhantan Merit Buddha, even if he regains the memory of his previous life, he is no longer the golden cicada, but the human race Tang Sanzang.

The magic power belonging to King Mahulaka was integrated into Li Mu's body without any violation or rejection, and it was smoothly integrated with his own magic power.

And Li Muna's cultivation level and magic power, which had just broken through to the early stage of Daluo, also began to increase rapidly, and the foundation was extremely solid, without any frivolity.

The heads of the eight tribes, at least, all started out as Daluo. For example, the top ranked Brahma, the head of the heavenly tribes, Sakyamuni, and Naga King, the head of the Naga tribe, are all quasi-sage bosses.

And the youngest King Mahulaka also has the cultivation level of the middle Daluo period.

However, the ordinary Da Luo cannot compare with Li Mu, who uses his strength to prove the Tao. His magic power is not of the same magnitude.

Therefore, Li Mu's own early Daluo cultivation, coupled with King Mahulaka's middle Daluo cultivation, ultimately pushed Li Mu's realm to the late Daluo stage, which was equivalent to his master Tang Sanzang.

Of course, they are just of the same level. In terms of actual combat power, he can easily defeat ten Tang Sanzangs.

When Li Mu's breakthrough ended, the vision had just disappeared, and the Buddha's light lit up in the sky again, accompanied by the peaceful Sanskrit chanting.

Looking up at the sky, I saw a Buddha sitting on a lotus platform in the sky, with a golden halo behind his head shining in all directions, appearing out of thin air.

When Li Mu saw the Buddha, he quickly stood up, and a white cloud gathered under his feet, carrying him to fly to the sky.

Arriving in front of the Buddha, Li Mu clasped his palms together, bowed deeply and said, "Disciple Fa Hai, pay homage to Master."

Tang Sanzang said with a smile on his face: "There is no need to be too polite, Fa Hai. In your previous life, you were King Mahulaka. Because of the evil insects entering your body, you were very angry and aggressive, broke the precepts and flattered you, so you were ordered by Amitabha Buddha to be reincarnated and reborn."

"In this life, you have worshiped and entered Buddhism. With your whole heart and integrity, you have subdued demons and demons, and saved the world. Now that your merits are complete, I, Buddha Tathagata, will send you as a teacher to take you back to Lingshan, and you will be entrusted with the great job and attainment of righteousness."

Li Muhe said: "It is only because of the ten years of master's teachings that the disciples have today's blessings. There is no Zhantan Buddha of Merit, no Sakyamuni Buddha, and no Amitabha Buddha."

Namo, pronounced "Namo", means refuge and respect.

Tang Sanzang exclaimed happily: "Amitabha, that's good, that's good. Come with me!"

Just at this moment, another ball of Buddha's light lit up, and two figures, one fat and one thin, appeared in the Buddha's light.

Then the Buddha's light turned into a golden cloud, dragging the two of them towards Tang Sanzang.

Before anyone got close, a sharp and honest call came first.

"Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much."

"I haven't seen you for many years. How is Master always?"

Li Mu looked intently, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Above the golden cloud, I saw a monkey wearing a cassock and a purple gold crown with phoenix wings on his head, and a pig head with a fat head and big ears, a bare chest and a monk's hat with Buddhist characters on its head, looking at Tang Sanzang with joy on his face.

.

Tang Sanzang also showed joy on his face and said with a smile: "Wukong, Bajie, you are here too."

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie approached Tang Sanzang and exchanged pleasantries.

After the three masters and apprentices talked about their longing, Sun Wukong looked at Li Mu up and down with great interest, and said with a smile: "Master, who is this?"

Tang Sanzang said: "Master, I would like to introduce to you that this is Fahai, a disciple whom I accepted as a closed disciple more than thirty years ago. In his previous life, he was King Mohuraka among the eight tribes."

"Now that his merits and deeds have been perfected, Tathagata Buddha sent him as a teacher to take him back to Lingshan and receive the great title of Zhengguo."

After Tang Sanzang finished speaking, Li Muheshi bowed to Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie and said, "Disciple Fahai, I have met the first senior brother and the second senior brother."

Sun Wukong's eyes flashed with golden light, and he looked at Li Mudao with great interest: "Are you King Mohu Luojia? I, the old Sun, know you."

"I heard that you have great magical powers and are very aggressive. If we have a chance, we, brothers and sisters, can learn from each other."

Li Mu laughed and said: "I'm ashamed, I'm still far behind compared to Senior Brother, who is the victorious Buddha. However, Senior Brother has a destiny, and I will definitely not ruin your fun."

When Sun Wukong heard this, the seriousness he had pretended to be was immediately broken, and his original human appearance changed back to that of a monkey. He danced with joy: "Okay, my little junior brother is very suitable for me. You, my junior brother, are very old."

Sun admitted it."

Zhu Bajie also grinned his long pig mouth and said: "Old Zhu has also heard that you are not only aggressive, but also delicious. Hey, come and sit in my Jingtan Temple when you have time. I don't have anything else but to make offerings from all directions."

I can’t use it enough.”

Li Mu smiled even brighter and was not polite to Zhu Bajie. He said with a smile: "Second senior brother gives me a face, and I have to take care of it. When I go to see the Buddha, I will go visit the senior brother and second senior brother."

Sun Wukong happily scratched his ears and cheeks, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, in that case, Bajie and I will be waiting for you at the Emeishan Dojo. You should come as soon as possible."

Tang Sanzang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and scolded him with a smile: "You two have worked hard, Fahai has learned a lot again, and he has learned it hard. Don't lead him to bad things again."

Zhu Bajie laughed and said: "Look at what Master said, how can it be done?"

Li Mu also said: "Master, don't worry, this disciple will grasp the right balance and will not dissatisfy the interests of the first and second senior brothers, but will not ruin his own practice."

Tang Sanzang nodded slowly with satisfaction and said: "That's the best thing. Wukong and Bajie, you should go back to your dojo first and take your junior brothers to Lingshan to meet the Buddha."

"Okay, master, walk slowly. Junior brother, please remember to come find us!"

"Definitely come."

Li Mu sent a message to Bai Suzhen and others, and immediately followed Tang Sanzang to Lingshan.

Bai Suzhen and her party, who were waiting below, saw Li Mu leaving with Tang Sanzang. They couldn't help but panic, and a feeling of abandonment came to their hearts.

At this moment, Li Mu's voice rang in their ears, and they suddenly felt reassured.

"You guys will wait here for a moment. I will go to Lingshan Mountain to meet the Tathagata Buddha and receive the great post of Buddha. After that, I will pick you up and go to my monastery."

…

Lingshan, Daleiyin Temple.

Tang Sanzang and Li Mu landed in front of the mountain gate. At this time, he had put on his cassock and Vairocana hat, and followed Tang Sanzang to the mountain gate.

When the four Vajras guarding the mountain gate saw Tang Sanzang, they all raised their palms together and declared: "Namo Zhantan is the Buddha of merit."

Sanzang of the Tang Dynasty also announced the name of the Buddha: "Namo Amitabha."

Many people confuse the Four Heavenly Kings with the Four Vajras, and some people think they are the same group of people.

This is indeed the case in orthodox mythology, but in the prehistoric world, these are actually two groups of people.

The four heavenly kings are the guardians of the heavenly gate of heaven, namely, the heavenly king holding the kingdom in the east, the magic gift sea, the king growing in the south, the magic gift green, the king Guangmu in the west, the magic gift longevity, and the king of hearing in the north, the magic gift red.

The four great Vajras are the guardians of the gate of the Great Thunder Sound Temple. They are the Vajra with vast supernatural powers, the Vajra with immeasurable magical power, the Vajra with powerful Vairocana, and the indestructible Vajra of the Eternal King.

After Tang Sanzang and the four great Vajra met, the leader of the group, Po Dharma Vajra, looked at Li Mu with a smile and said: "King Mahulaka's merits and virtues have been completed, and he has achieved positive results. I am very happy and congratulated."

Li Muhe said: "Thank you Vajra, but the poor monk is now Fahai, the direct disciple of Chantan Merit Buddha. He is no longer King Mahulaka, and there is no Amitabha Buddha."

The four Vajras also declared in unison: "Good, good, good."

After saying this, there was no further delay, and the news of Tang Sanzang's return with Fa Hai was reported to the Great Leiyin Temple. After the Tathagata's edict was issued in the temple, the master and the disciples went up the mountain.

Entering the Mahavira Hall, Tang Sanzang handed over the decree to Tathagata and returned to his seat.

Li Mu stood alone in the center of the hall, facing the six-foot-long golden body of the Tathagata. He bowed down and said, "Disciple Fahai, pay homage to my Buddha Tathagata."

The Tathagata smiled and nodded and said: "Fa Hai, you have been reincarnated in the Eastern Land according to the decree of Amitabha Buddha to rebuild your life. Now you are happy to take refuge and uphold my blessings. You have achieved great results."

"Now that you have been promoted to a great position, you will become the mighty Dragon King Bodhisattva. You will still rule the Mahaloka people, and you can open a monastery in Tianmu Mountain."

The Tathagata's Zen seal was determined, and this message immediately spread throughout the three realms and six realms, and all the Buddhas proclaimed in unison: "Namo, the mighty Dragon King Bodhisattva."

Li Mu is still very satisfied with this fruition status. This is not a Bodhisattva with the same name as Little White Dragon Aolie's Eight Heavenly Dragons Guangli Bodhisattva, but a Bodhisattva with the King of Ming fruition status.

The sixth among the eight sects, the leader of the Garuda sect, the Garuda King Golden Winged Dapeng, is the Dapeng Mingwang Bodhisattva.

Li Mu was also very satisfied with the dojo designated for him by Tathagata.

Because Tianmu Mountain is located in Hangzhou, it can be said to be the place where he started. It has a good foundation of believers and is not far from Jinshan Temple.

Li Mu kowtowed and thanked him, and met all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas one by one. After greeting his third senior brother Sha Wujing, he said goodbye to the Tathagata and his master, left Lingshan, and returned to Zhanbuzhou in the south.

After returning to Tianmu Mountain in Hangzhou, Li Mu relied on the laws of the earth spirit to open a cave deep in the mountain that was no less than the size of Jinshan Temple.

Then he went to Jinshan Temple and took Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, Xiaoxue, Xiang Zuo, Xiang Right, Zhizhu and others to Tianmu Mountain.

After they settled in and became familiar with the environment, Li Mu took them to Sun Wukong's dojo in Mount Emei.
