The Counterattack of the Villains

After everyone agreed, Chenxiang took off the Qiankun bag from her waist and said to Sun Wukong: "Uncle, I have also packed some elixirs here, please share some with you!"

"Hey..." Sun Wukong raised his hand to stop his movement and said with a smile: "As long as you have this filial piety, the elixir is not necessary."

"I, Old Sun, ate more than you did back then. This elixir is now as useless to me as jelly beans."

"You should leave it to your master. He has never taken Laojun's elixir, so it will be more useful than giving it to me. The more powerful your master is, the harder your backstage will be, right?"

Seeing this, Chen Xiang was no longer polite, and just said seriously: "Thanks to my uncle this time. If there is anything that my uncle needs my nephew to do in the future, just give me your instructions."

"Hehehehe... you are a good boy, you know how to be grateful, okay, my uncle will not be polite to you in the future."

"Hurry back and retreat. If you succeed as soon as possible, you can rescue your mother as soon as possible and reunite the family."

Sun Wukong looked at Chen Xiang with great satisfaction, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, but he felt a little regretful in his heart.

What a good disciple, why did you fall into the Jade Emperor’s trap in the first place?

Fortunately, this disciple did not end up in another family. The meat was still in the pot after it rotted. After all, he was still one of his own family.

Li Mu's eyes were also filled with relief. It was not in vain that he had taught him for more than ten years. Today, Chenxiang is not only positive, but also a very good person.

After saying goodbye to Sun Wukong again, Li Mu took Agarwood back to the dojo.

Back at Tianmu Mountain, Li Mu did not alert Bai Suzhen and the girls who were practicing Qing Dynasty. After explaining to the two Taoists on the left and right and Zhizhu, he took Chenxiang directly into a quiet room covered by formations.

With the cover of this formation, it will never happen again in the original plot. When Chenxiang broke through Daluo, she was unable to contain the skyrocketing mana, causing a scene that shook the earth and even shocked the three realms.

Chenxiang handed the Qiankun bag containing the elixir to Li Mu, and then followed Li Mu's instructions and sat cross-legged on the futon.

Li Mu sat behind him, pressed his back with both hands, and asked him to disperse the mana pocket in his belly and let the elixir fall into his belly.

When the elixir comes into contact with Agarwood's gastric juice, it immediately turns into a huge spiritual energy. Li Mu uses his own magic power to drive the spiritual energy and help refine Agarwood at an extremely fast speed.

But while the master and the apprentice were quietly making a fortune, things had already happened in heaven.

In the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor was furious: "Who is so bold?"

His Highness Yang Jian said solemnly: "The little god suspects that this matter was done by Sun Wukong of Mount Emei."

The Jade Emperor said in a deep voice: "Is there any basis for this?"

Yang Jian said: "One of the guards of Nantianmen, Deng Zhongxinhuan, once saw the little god and the roaring dog coming in with Sun Wukong from the Nantianmen. Sun Wukong also deliberately insulted the little god."

"Secondly, Sun Wukong has a criminal record, so he is very familiar with going to Tushita Palace to steal elixirs."

The Jade Emperor frowned and said: "Since there are you and Roaring Sky Dog, doesn't it mean that he has accomplices?"

Yang Jian said cautiously: "Not necessarily. Sun Wukong is proficient in the seventy-two transformations. The fake little god and the roaring dog may have been conjured by him."

"If there really are accomplices, and Xiaoshen has every reason to suspect them, those two people are Fa Hai and Chen Xiang."

"Because magical powers are easy to learn, but magical power is difficult to cultivate. If they want to cultivate agarwood as soon as possible, Laojun's elixir is undoubtedly a shortcut."

The Jade Emperor nodded slowly and thoughtfully, and said: "In that case, let Deng Zhongxin go to the palace."

Deng Zhong and Xinhuan were quickly called to the palace, and the Jade Emperor ordered them to tell everything that happened at Nantianmen.

Deng Zhong said with a face full of shame: "Your Majesty, the young general is clumsy in his speech. I am afraid he cannot fully describe the situation at that time."

"Therefore, I sincerely request your Majesty's permission to let the two young generals reenact the situation at that time."

After hearing this, the Jade Emperor raised his long eyebrows, a faint smile appeared on his face, and said: "This is interesting, it's accurate."

As soon as they heard the Jade Emperor's accurate performance, the two of them immediately fell into a trance. After discussing who would play Yang Jian and who would play Sun Wukong, they started acting while explaining.

Deng Zhong stepped back for a distance, then walked forward slowly, explaining: "At that time, Erlang Zhenjun was like a little god, swaggeringly taking away the roaring dog and walking in from Nantianmen."

Xin Huan immediately answered: "At this moment, Sun Wukong came after him from outside the Nantian Gate and shouted loudly: Hey, Yang Jian is not allowed to leave, and he will give me a stick."

Deng Zhong: "Zhenjun Erlang turned around, suddenly knelt down towards Sun Wukong, and shouted: Grandpa Sun, please spare your life, Grandpa Sun, please spare your life! Yang Jian no longer dares to be disrespectful to Buddhism!"

Xin Huan: "At this time, Sun Wukong grabbed the ear of Lord Erlang and the back of Roaring Dog's neck, and said: Let's go to see your uncle. The two of them and the dog walked into the Nantian Gate like this.

"

The two acted so vividly that when they said "Grandpa Sun, have mercy on me", all the gods and goddesses in the hall couldn't help but laugh.

When he saw Xin Huan grabbing Deng Zhong's ear, he finally couldn't hold back his laughter, and the entire Lingxiao Palace burst into laughter.

Only the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother and Yang Jian looked extremely ugly.

The Queen Mother became furious and said: "This Monkey King is too lawless."

Her Highness Chang'e said: "Mother Qi, since Erlang Shen is fake, Sun Wukong may not be real either."

Taibai Jinxing, who was standing next to her, echoed: "I think Fairy Chang'e's words are reasonable."

"If Sun Wukong wants to steal the elixir, he will definitely not show his true body and enter the Nantianmen. How can any thief commit crimes openly and openly under his own identity?"

Li Jing, the King of Tota, said: "Yes, if the thief wants to take action, not only will it be impossible for him to come in his true form, but he will not even be implicated."

"Since there is Sun Wukong among the pill thieves, it means there is no Sun Wukong among them. In the same way, if there are Erlang Zhenjun and Roaring Sky Dog among them, it will definitely not be the two of them."

After listening to what a few people said, the gods in the temple started talking a lot, and they all thought what they said was reasonable.

Only Yang Jian spoke: "That's not necessarily the case. Sun Wukong has always been bold. There is nothing he dare not do."

"This will be even more true if the ones who turned into little gods and roaring dogs are masters and disciples of Fahai Agarwood."

"Please allow Your Majesty to allow the little god to lead the heavenly soldiers and generals to Tianmu Mountain to investigate the case."

The Jade Emperor frowned and said: "Even if this matter is really done by Fahai Chenxiang and Sun Wukong, then they will hide the elixir in a secret place. What can you find out by going to Tianmu Mountain?"

"What's more, Fahai has never interacted with Heaven. He is also the leader of the eight Buddhist celestial dragons, Maharaja. If it triggers a conflict between Buddhism and Heaven and causes the situation to get out of control, it will not be a blessing to the Three Realms."

"Forget it, forget it, before you have solid evidence, it's better not to provoke Buddhism. With clairvoyance and ears, always pay attention to Tianmu Mountain. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately."

The Jade Emperor finalized his words and announced his withdrawal from the court, and the gods dispersed.

A smile appeared on Fairy Chang'e's face. Now that Agarwood has the mighty Dragon King Bodhisattva as a backstage, she is finally completely safe.

…

Months passed by in a flash, and as the elixir was gradually refined, Chen Xiang's cultivation soared like a rocket, and he soon reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Li Mu took out another gourd of elixirs and gave it to Chenxiang to eat, and then began to make the final sprint.

Another half month later, the vision of the birth of Daluo Jinxian appeared again on Tianmu Mountain.

Although due to the protection of Li Mu, there was no earth-shaking scene, it was still discovered by Shunfeng Er, a clairvoyant who had been paying attention to Tianmu Mountain, and the two immediately reported the matter.

In the Lingxiao Palace, Yang Jian said to the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, the situation is now obvious. The elixir was stolen by Fa Hai and a few people."

"Agarwood has received the help of Laojun's massive elixirs, and now it has cultivated the Daluo Dao Fruit. If we don't try to control it, the little god is afraid that the old incident that caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace will happen again soon."

The Jade Emperor stared at Yang Jian and said, "In your opinion, how should we deal with it?"

Yang Jian said: "Please allow your majesty to allow the little god to lead a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals to go to Tianmu Mountain to capture Agarwood and bring him to heaven to find out what happened."

The Jade Emperor said: "If Fa Hai doesn't let me go, what will you do?"

"This..." Yang Jian hesitated for a moment and said, "If Lao Jun helps me, the little god may not be a match for Fahai, let alone what we have in our hands..."

He didn't finish what he said, because some words couldn't be said in front of the gods, but it was obvious that the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother knew what he said.

After hearing what Yang Jian said, the Queen Mother immediately said: "Okay, then you..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she started talking, the Jade Emperor interrupted him, "It's inappropriate. If we really follow this, I'm afraid it will cause a large-scale conflict between Buddhism and Taoism."

"It's better not to hurt the harmony between the Buddhist and Taoist families at the moment. Taibaijinxing, you'd better go to Tianmu Mountain and ask about the situation!"

Taibai Jinxing came out and said: "I obey the order."

The Queen Mother suddenly became angry and sent Taibai Jinxing, a good old man, to ask what she could tell her.

The Jade Emperor made it clear that he wanted to reduce big things to small things and turn small things into small things.

Although it is said that there will be a calamity of Buddhas and demons in a few decades, but since the calamity of Journey to the West, the heaven has been suppressed by Buddhism for hundreds of years.

Now, another powerful Bodhisattva, Dragon King Ming, has appeared, which has restrained the heavens and reduced their prestige. If this continues, who in the three realms will fear the heavens?

The birth of the new Tiantiao is a major change in Heaven, and Heaven is the force that directly responds to the disaster.

Therefore, all the Three Pure Tathagatas knew about this matter, but the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother were blinded by the aura of calamity and did not know it.

The two of them were determined to uphold heaven's rules and maintain the majesty of heaven, but they were in danger without knowing it.

…

Tianmu Mountain, inside the quiet room.

After Agarwood's ten thousand bodies were reunited and Da Luo's initial cultivation was stable, Li Mu finally stopped.

Chenxiang stood up, turned around, knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Li Mu, and said, "Disciple, thank you Master for your support."

Li Mu smiled and nodded: "Get up! Now that you have achieved Daluo Daoguo, even if you face Erlang Shen, you are no longer powerless to fight back."

"Next step, you can go find a way to save your mother."

Chenxiang stood up and looked at Li Mudao with burning eyes: "Master, with my disciple's current cultivation level, I wonder if I can split the beam of light in Huashan Mountain?"

Li Mu did not answer him directly, but stretched out his hand to draw a circle in front of him, and then pointed his finger in the air.

A golden circle flew into the air, and the scene on the top of Huashan Mountain appeared in the circle.

Chenxiang looked at an alms bowl shrouded above Mount Hua, and couldn't help but narrow her eyes and said, "What is this?"

Li Mu said: "The innate spiritual treasure, the Qiankun Bowl, was originally a gift from the innate spiritual treasure, the Qiankun Taoist, when the world first opened."

"After the death of Taoist Qiankun, the Qiankun Bowl fell into the hands of Taozu. When the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother took charge of the heaven according to Taozu's decree, they were given to the Queen Mother by Taozu."

"Even with your current cultivation level and the power of the Yitian Sword, it is basically impossible to split it open."

Chenxiang's face changed when she heard this, and she hated the Queen Mother in her heart. She said angrily: "How did our family offend her? To make her insist on torturing us like this?"

Li Mu sighed and shook his head: "The thoughts of these superiors are different from ours, and we don't need to delve into them."

"For now, you still have to continue to practice intensively, increase your magic power, and at the same time search for a sharp weapon that can split Huashan Mountain. When you find it, your mother will be out of trouble."

"This is a disaster, but also an opportunity. Everything depends on your luck."

Speaking of this, Li Mu took out a small gourd from the storage space, handed it to Chen Xiang and said, "In this gourd are two Nine-Turn Golden Pills. If a mortal eats them, he can instantly become an immortal."

"You haven't been back for several years. Take this opportunity to go back and see your father and your enlightenment teacher!"

"Give them the golden elixir, and the day when your family will be reunited will eventually come."

Chenxiang was overjoyed, took the gourd and said, "Thank you, Master."

At this moment, Li Mu's expression changed, he looked outside the quiet room and said: "Let's go out first, we have guests."

Outside the gate of Dawei Tianlong Cave, Taibaijinxing loudly said: "Taibaijinxing in the heaven, please see Dawei Tianlong Mingwang Bodhisattva."

After he finished speaking, the door of the cave opened quickly and he walked out to the left and right.

He opened his mouth to the left and said, "King Ming is in retreat and has no visitors. Jin Xing, please come back!"

Taibai Jinxing accompanied Xing Xing and asked, "May I ask who you two are?"

Xiang Zuo said: "My name is Xiang Zuo, and I am the Zuo protector of King Ming."

Xiangyou said: "My name is Xiangyou, and I am the right protector of King Ming."

Taibai Jinxing's mouth twitched, do you have two brothers, called forward and backward?

He was grumbling secretly in his heart, but still smiling along with his face, he said: "I would like to ask both of you to send word that I am here to ask a few words to King Ming in accordance with the Jade Emperor's decree."

Before Xiang Zuo and Xiang Right could speak again, Li Mu's voice came from the cave: "What does Jin Xing want to ask of me?"

Li Mu took Agarwood out of the cave and stood in front of Taibai Jinxing.

Taibai Jinxing gave a Taoist bowing ceremony and said: "Immeasurable Blessings, I have seen the mighty Dragon King Bodhisattva."

Li Muye returned the courtesy and said: "Namo Amitabha, Venus does not need to be polite."

After the ceremony, Taibai Jinxing looked at Agarwood behind Li Mu and asked, "May I ask King Ming, who is a master who has attained the Daluo Dao Fruit today?"

Li Mudao: "Exactly, what's the lesson from Venus?"

Taibai Jinxing said: "I don't dare, but as far as I know, Gao Zu is only in his early twenties, and it has only been five years since he officially entered the spiritual practice. How did he achieve Daluo?"

Li Mu said with a half-smile: "The issue of Venus seems to be a bit overstepped."

"I would also like to ask Jin Xing, why do you have to pretend to be a kind-hearted and good-natured person when you are clearly in charge of mortal warfare and a quasi-sacred martial god who is responsible for killing?"

Taibai Jinxing's expression changed slightly. He was a member of the Heavenly Court in ancient times, before he was granted the title of God to measure the calamity. He had always served the Jade Emperor as a civil servant.

There are very few beings in the Three Realms who know that he is actually the God of War, and even fewer people know that he is already a quasi-sage.

The Morning Star Lord, who controls the alternation of day and night, and the Chang Geng Star Lord, who leads the killing spree, are his good and evil corpses.

In other words, he is actually in the middle stage of Quasi-Saint cultivation. He only needs to cut off his own corpse to become the peak Quasi-Saint. Therefore, he is actually a trump card beside the Jade Emperor.

Those who knew about this matter were all the top powers in the three realms. It was impossible for them to tell it casually, but they didn’t know how Fahai knew about it.

However, what the other party meant was very clear. Everyone has their own secrets, and their own questions are indeed a bit transcendent to be honest.

Taibai Jinxing smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone knows some things well, why would Prince Ming embarrass the old man?"

"I just came here on orders, I can't shirk it. Prince Ming just needs to give me an explanation at will so that I can communicate. Is this good for you and me?"

Li Mu took a deep look at Taibai Jinxing, suddenly smiled, and said: "What Jinxing said is true. In the game at the top, in the end it is us who are in trouble, so it is best for us all to stay in harmony."

A smile appeared on Taibai Jinxing's face again, and he chuckled: "Prince Ming is an open-minded person, and that's exactly what he should be."

Li Mudao: "In that case, I will give Jin Xing an explanation. Agarwood is originally a semi-immortal body, which is the same as Erlang Zhenjun."

"Back then, True Monarch Erlang became a disciple of True Master Yuding. After three years of practicing Taiyi, he was able to fight Da Luo with his eighty-nine mystical skills."

"My Buddhist magical method is no weaker than the Taoist method. In addition, I have accumulated support for thousands of years when I was King Mahulaka, and I have the help of the golden lotus seeds of merit given by my Buddha."

"In this way, it seems that it is not difficult to understand that it takes five years to cultivate Daluo."

After listening to Li Mu's words, Taibai Jinxing was satisfied. Since Li Mu was talking about the lotus seeds of the Golden Lotus of Merit, there would be no problem.

The efficacy of this thing is not at all inferior to Laojun's elixir, and it is impossible for the Jade Emperor to go to Tathagata Buddha for verification on this matter.

Moreover, even if he went to seek the truth, it would be a matter of just one sentence from the Tathagata Buddha. He would not be able to seek the truth, and in the end he would have to leave it alone.

Taibai Jinxing bowed again and said, "Thank you so much, King Ming, for telling me. The old man replied accordingly and said goodbye."

Li Muhe said: "Venus moves slowly."

Seeing Taibai Jinxing turn into a ray of light and fly away, Chenxiang stepped forward curiously and asked: "Master, is Taibaijinxing very powerful?"

Li Muzhen said: "It's very impressive. His level of cultivation is only lower than that of the Taoist Three Pure Ones and the Third Buddha of my Buddhist sect. He can be called the number one master around the Jade Emperor."

"However, his personality is very peaceful. As long as it is not a major event that threatens the heaven, he will not show his murderous side."

"So no matter what kind of trouble you have with Heaven in the future, you must maintain enough respect when facing this good old man."

Chen Xiang didn't realize how serious he was, and kept Li Mu's words firmly in mind, "Disciple, please remember the master's teachings. Then what is the state of the master, the quasi-sage?"

Li Mu explained the concepts of saints and quasi-sages to Chen Xiang in detail, which was equivalent to opening a door to a new world for Chen Xiang.

"Now you are still a long way from being a quasi-sage, so don't think so much about it now, just go ahead!"

"When you come back, it's time to fulfill your promise to your uncle, and by the way, you can also go to the peach garden."

"Without Da Luo's mid-level cultivation, you are still weaker against Erlang Shen. You can barely protect yourself, and it is impossible to win in battle."

After listening to Li Mu's words, Chen Xiang nodded silently, and then asked cautiously: "Master, besides Taibai Jinxing, who else are there quasi-sage powers in heaven?"

Li Mu waved his hand and said: "You don't need to pay attention to this. When it comes to your family, everyone has maintained a basic tacit understanding. Those quasi-sage powerful people will not come out to embarrass you."

"The rules of heaven have long been out of date. Do you think they don't want to change the rules?"

Hearing what Li Mu said, Chen Xiang's spirits were lifted. If this was the case, then he really had nothing to fear.

"Thank you, Master, for clarifying my doubts. I will leave first, then."

"Go for it!"

Agarwood put the gourd bottle in her hands and turned into a ray of light and flew towards Liujia Village outside Suzhou City. She felt quite anxious.

Is this his homecoming?
