The Counterattack of the Villains

Unfortunately, this shout came a moment too late. If he had spoken half a second earlier, Li Mu could have taken back this move.

The terrifying Lei Gang was condensed and refined by Fang Tianji, coupled with Li Mu's own magic power, forming a majestic golden energy that swept out.

"boom"

"puff"

There was an earth-shattering roar in the sky, and golden energy exploded, spreading in all directions.

At the center of the explosion, even the space was shaken out with cracks. Through the cracks, you can see the endless void where the energy of chaos surges.

Erlangshen was seriously injured on the spot, and he was thrown backwards with blood spurting from his mouth. He flew straight for an unknown distance and finally crashed into a mountain.

The face of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother of the Heavenly Court was extremely ugly. After all, she still failed to save the face of the Heavenly Court.

Tang Sanzang arrived sooner or later, but he arrived at the very moment Erlang Shen was defeated. To say it was such a coincidence would be an insult to their intelligence.

But they really have no choice but to suffer this dumb loss.

As Fahai said before, the rules of heaven have nothing to do with Buddhism.

The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother secretly blamed Yang Jian for his incompetence and lack of flexibility.

You said you had nothing to do and why did you provoke the Buddhist Bodhisattva? But what you provoked was not an ordinary Bodhisattva, but the Mingwang Bodhisattva, who is famous for his fighting prowess.

This time it was better, he was seriously injured, and the majesty of the heaven was also wiped out, which in turn made Buddhism's reputation greatly increase.

When the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother blamed Yang Jian, Taishang Laojun frowned.

Fa Hai's attack just now showed the power of a quasi-sage at his peak.

Although it was achieved with the help of magical weapons and magical weapons, the combat power of this Mingwang Bodhisattva cannot be underestimated.

Could it be that the remnants of the great rise of Buddhism and Taoism have not passed yet? In less than three hundred years, Buddhism actually produced another peak quasi-sage in combat power.

Now I only hope that the Buddha and Demon Tribulation can slightly weaken the power of Buddhism, otherwise if this continues, Taoism will really decline.

Even Taishang Laojun can see the significance of Li Mu's fighting power, let alone Tathagata.

I have to say that Li Mu really gave him a big surprise today. He didn't expect that his potential would be so great.

Now that he is only in the late stage of Da Luo, he already has such combat power. If he is allowed to break through to the Quasi-Saint, what's the point?

At this moment, the Tathagata's importance to the sea of ​​dharma has skyrocketed, and it is only inferior to Sun Wukong, the origin of ten thousand Buddhas and the incarnation of the boneless relic.

With the existence of Fahai, he was more certain about the calamity of Buddhas and demons.

…

Human world, above Tianmu Mountain.

Li Mu didn't know it yet, but this battle had completely made him the new favorite of Buddhism.

He turned to look to the west and saw Tang Sanzang appearing on the horizon with a look of helplessness on his face.

Li Mu quickly dispelled the three-headed and six-armed dharma body, took back the Square Heavenly Halberd, stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Disciple pays homage to the master."

Tang Sanzang pretended to be sullen and said: "Fahai, how could you do such a heavy hand to Erlang Zhenjun?"

Li Mu straightened up and said solemnly: "Master, as the saying goes, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face."

"Erlang Shen chased and killed the second senior brother without any scruples, broke into his disciples' dojo without permission, and did not take Buddhism or me, the Buddha, seriously at all."

"Buddhism cannot be insulted, and I, the Buddha, cannot be insulted. As the saying goes, what you sow will reap what you reap, what Erlang Shen did should have this result."…

Tang Sanzang was speechless on his face, but he shouted "Beautiful" in his heart.

After he became a Buddha, he awakened the memory of his previous life. After all, he was no longer the pedantic Tang Monk. He was also the Golden Chanzi.

How can the six-foot golden cicada, a six-foot golden cicada, an innate beast from the ancient world, become truly benevolent and kind enough to the point of pedantry, even if it has been transformed from its hostility by Buddhism?

At this time, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan also preached in unison: "Amitabha, good, good, good."

The smile on Tathagata's face becomes more and more peaceful. This is my true direct descendant of Buddhism.

When Tang Sanzang was at a loss for words, Zhu Bajie also flew up and saluted Tang Sanzang: "Disciple pays homage to master."

Tang Sanzang glanced at him angrily and said, "Bajie, you are the one who caused this. Go and explain it to Buddha yourself!"

Zhu Bajie said with a face full of grief and anger: "Master, how could this be caused by this disciple? This disciple is wronged!"

Tang Sanzang glared and said, "Are you still aggrieved? Then tell me, what are your grievances?"

Zhu Bajie said angrily: "This incident all started because the roaring dog smashed my Jingtan Temple. He not only smashed the disciple's temple, but also bullied the disciple with the support of his master."

"The disciple was not angry, so he taught Roaring Sky Dog a lesson. As a result, his master was offended. It was not the disciple who was the first to cause trouble."

Li Mu on the side snorted coldly: "As the saying goes, you have to look at the owner when beating a dog, but don't you need to look at the owner when beating a pig?"

Zhu Bajie blurted out and echoed: "Even so, I don't even know whose pig we are."

After he finished speaking, he realized what he was doing. With a pair of pig eyes, he turned to look at Li Mu resentfully.

Li Mu couldn't stand his resentful gaze, and without turning his gaze towards Tang Sanzang, he raised his hand to hold Zhu Bajie's face and pushed his head back.

There was a chuckle in Daleiyin Temple.

"Ahem..."

Tang Sanzang almost burst out laughing, coughed twice and said seriously: "If this is really the case, then you really can't be blamed for this."

Zhu Bajie frowned like a pig and said, "That's not true. Can you blame the disciple?"

Tang Sanzang glared at him and said to Li Mu: "In any case, this matter ends here. You must not conflict with Zhenjun Erlang again."

Li Mu said respectfully: "Master Mingjian, it was not the disciples who wanted to fight, but it was the Erlang Shen who brought the roaring dog and the Meishan brothers to chase the two senior brothers to the door of the disciple's dojo."

"He also uses heavenly rules to pressure his disciples, which is simply bullying others too much. Although I, a Buddhist disciple, have always been compassionate, I also have the wrathful eyes of King Kong."

"My disciples are not sufficiently cultivated to be able to do it in vain, so they are only Bodhisattvas and cannot yet become Buddhas."

After listening to Li Mu's words, Tang Sanzang was quite speechless.

It sounds like the Buddha is really capable of spitting on his face. Who can you ask to spit on the Buddha?

Thoughts were swirling in my mind, but I said: "Don't worry, the Great Heavenly Lord will make the decision for you in this matter. I believe that Master Erlang will not act like this again in the future."

Li Mudao: "If this is the case, the disciple will not cause any more troubles. As long as Erlang Shen no longer steps into the scope of the disciple's dojo, the disciple will not take the initiative to take action."

At this time, Erlang Shen was seriously injured and was blown away to an unknown location. Brothers Xiaotian Quan and Meishan both went to find Erlang Shen, and no one came to explain...

As a result, the three masters and apprentices settled the matter with each word.

In short, this incident is all Erlangshen's fault. They were just acting in self-defense, and the Heavenly Court will surely suffer this loss.

After Tang Sanzang said a few more words, he returned to Lingshan, while Zhu Bajie and Li Mu descended to the ground.

"Junior brother, you can do it. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Even Erlang Shen fell into your hands, and you haven't even used the python whip. It seems that the smelly monkey is no longer your opponent!"

Zhu Bajie deliberately put his arms around Li Mu in front of Chenxiang and said this.

This is obviously to show Chen Xiang that she has a strong relationship with Li Mu, a powerful person, and our old pig's connections are also quite strong.

"Smelly monkey?" Li Mu didn't show any disgust at Zhu Bajie's hooking up. Instead, he looked at him funny and said, "Second Senior Brother and First Senior Brother are having conflicts again?"

Zhu Bajie said angrily: "It makes me angry just talking about it. I don't like to mention him now. Come on, come on, I'll introduce him to you."

As he spoke, he walked to Chen Xiang's side and said with a smile: "Junior brother, this is my new apprentice. He is not very effective. Can you help train him? He can be considered your apprentice."

Li Mu looked up and down at Chen Xiang, who was looking expectantly, and looked at Zhu Bajie with a half-smile but not a smile, and said: "Brother, your so-called disciple is the person Erlang Shen wants to catch, who has violated the rules of heaven, right?"

"Hey..." Zhu Bajie waved his hand angrily: "What kind of heavenly rule did he break? He is just a child who wants to reunite with his mother. In the final analysis, this matter is bullying by heaven."

Li Mu walked slowly to Chen Xiang, with golden light shining in his eyes, and a terrifying aura that made Chen Xiang unable to resist at all enveloped him.

Chenxiang didn't dare to move, feeling uneasy and looked at Zhu Bajie for help.

Zhu Bajie calmly pressed his hands and gave him a reassuring look.

He saw that Li Mu was checking Chen Xiang's qualifications and background, so he remained silent.

This is a good sign. Compared with Sun Wukong's involuntary refusal, the situation is very different.

After a few breaths, Li Mu regained his breath, the golden light in his eyes converged, and said: "He is less than seventeen years old and has not practiced for more than a year. He is already at the peak of the earthly immortal and can become a heavenly immortal at any time. He is truly a semi-immortal."

Zhu Bajie sighed and said: "Since junior brother sees that Agarwood is a semi-immortal, he must also know what is going on with him, right?"

Li Mu nodded and asked Chen Xiang warmly: "My child, is your father an immortal or your mother an immortal?"

Chen Xiang quickly and respectfully said: "Hui Bodhisattva, my mother is the Three Holy Mothers of Huashan Mountain."

Li Mu's eyes narrowed and he said: "So you are Erlang Shen's nephew?"

Chen Xiang's eyes suddenly filled with sadness and anger, and she said: "He treated his own sister like this, even I want to kill him. I don't have such an uncle."

After saying that, he knelt down and begged: "Bodhisattva, you are so compassionate. Please accept me as your disciple and teach me my skills so that I can rescue my mother and reunite my family."

Zhu Bajie also walked to Li Mu and echoed: "Yes, junior brother, Chenxiang is a child with a pure nature and a filial piety. Even if he learns a skill, he will not harm the people. Just help him!"...

Li Mu said thoughtfully: "In Chenxiang's situation, according to the character of senior brother, he should not be rejected."

"It's no surprise that he must have been deceived by Heavenly Court and made some promise. You also know that Senior Brother's brain may not be as bright as your pig's brain sometimes."

After Zhu Bajie heard this, he also had a clear understanding in his heart, knowing that what Li Mu said was most likely the truth.

Then he came to his senses, jumped on his feet and said angrily: "What do you mean, I have such a pig brain? Pigs are actually pretty smart, right?"

Li Mu laughed and ignored him, but said to Chen Xiang: "The last thing in my life is to beat a mandarin duck with a stick and separate his flesh and blood. I will accept you as my disciple."

Chenxiang was immediately ecstatic, kowtowed heavily, and said loudly: "Master, please bow to me as a disciple."

Zhu Bajie also smiled brightly, gave a thumbs up and said, "Senior Brother, I saw you right, Junior Brother is indeed compassionate."

Li Mu smiled, lifted Chenxiang up, and said seriously: "Chenxiang, since you have become my disciple, you will be my Buddhist lay disciple from now on."

"If Heaven is unwilling to give in and insists on taking your life, I will make the decision for you as a teacher."

"But your mother has indeed violated the rules of heaven. I cannot directly rescue your mother, and I cannot do it at all."

"Only if you, a blood relative, take action in this matter can there be a chance of survival, so you can only rely on yourself."

"What I can do as a teacher is to teach you everything I can to give you the skills to save your mother. I hope you can understand."

Chenxiang said with great gratitude: "Master is willing to teach my apprentice his skills, which is a great kindness. My apprentice is not a ungrateful person."

"Well done, well done, come with me! Second Senior Brother, please."

"Hey, junior brother, please come first."

Dawei Tianlong Cave is very vast and majestic. Li Mu asked Zhizhu to take Chenxiang to get familiar with the environment and then arrange a place for him.

He himself set up a banquet and entertained Zhu Bajie well.

After Zhu Bajie had eaten and drank enough, and received a few bottles of nectar and jade liquid as gifts from Li Mu, he gave a good explanation to Agarwood and returned to Jingtan Temple.

…

The next day, Li Mu asked Zhizhu to bring agarwood to the quiet room and start his teaching.

"Agarwood, what you are practicing now are the authentic Taoist techniques that directly point to the Daluo Dao Fruit, coupled with the Buddhist techniques of your master. Such dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism will have an unlimited future."

"As a master, I will pass on this magical martial arts to you without any reservation. I hope you can practice it diligently and not slack off."

Chenxiang said respectfully: "Remember the master's teachings, and my disciple will never dare to slack off."

"It's good, it's good."

At this point, Chenxiang officially began to practice with Li Mu.

When Chenxiang began to practice, Yang Jian, who dragged his injured body back to heaven to recover, was reprimanded by the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.

Because the plot has changed drastically, Ao Tingxin, the fourth princess of the East China Sea, is not dead, but the part where the Dragon King of the East China Sea goes to heaven to complain is gone.

Yang Jian's defeat at the hands of Li Mu this time brought disgrace to Heaven. Facing the reprimand of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, he had nothing to say.

The Queen Mother asked him how he planned to make meritorious deeds, and Yang Jian suggested that he could go to Liujiacun and arrest Liu Yanchang, the man who seduced the Three Holy Mothers, and Li Mu, Chen Xiang's mentor...

In this way, even if Agarwood becomes successful in her practice in the future, she will still be able to take advantage of him. When the time comes, they will be able to easily control each other.

The Queen Mother then expressed her satisfaction and immediately sacrificed the innate spiritual treasure Qiankun Bowl and placed it on Mount Huashan to strengthen the seal of Mount Huashan.

Then he gave a healing elixir and ordered Erlang Shen to heal his wounds first. After he recovered, he immediately went to Liujiacun to capture Liu Yanchang and Li Mu.

…

Liujia Village, Haoran Sect.

Li Mu, Liu Yanchang, and Ao Tingxin sat around the table.

Ao Tingxin came specifically to inform the two of them that Chenxiang had successfully become a disciple of the mighty Dragon King Bodhisattva and received the protection of Buddhism.

Liu Yanchang finally felt at ease when he heard that the mighty Tianlong Mingwang Bodhisattva personally beat Erlang Shen seriously in order to save Zhu Bajie and Chenxiang.

Li Mu said to Liu Yanchang: "I have also heard about this mighty Dragon King Bodhisattva."

"It is said that he has great supernatural powers and boundless magic power, and he hates evil as much as he hates it, and he is compassionate. In order to save mortals, he did not hesitate to kill the Dragon King of Qiantang River who caused a flood."

"My father died in that flood back then. He avenged my blood. With his protection, Agarwood will be safe."

Ao Tingxin agreed: "Yes, I was fortunate enough to have met him once before he had achieved enlightenment. He was a truly compassionate person."

Liu Yanchang gratefully said to Ao Ting: "Fourth Princess, thanks to your care over the years, Chenxiang has been able to get where she is today. Thank you very much."

Ao Tingxin sighed and shook her head, saying: "You don't have to thank me. I have been sisters with the Third Holy Mother for many years. This is what I should do."

After saying this, she said seriously: "By the way, now that Tianting has nothing to do with Agarwood, you have become his biggest weakness."

"I'm afraid that they won't be able to deal with Chenxiang and will come to make a fuss about you. So I suggest that you leave here as soon as possible and go to settle down at the foot of Tianmu Mountain. Only in this way can Chenxiang study in peace of mind."

Li Mu nodded solemnly and said: "What the fourth princess said is absolutely true, we need to set off as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "I just want to leave now, isn't it too late?"

The expressions of the three people changed drastically, and they suddenly turned to look at the door.

Seeing Yang Jian, Roaring Sky Dog and Mei Shan brothers walking in, Ao Tingxin shouted that something was wrong.
