"Amitabha, don't you think Tang San has such a strong temper? That's good, that's good..."
Mr. Tang San had already fallen into Li Zhi's arms, leaning on him quietly and silently.
But, there was a smile at the corner of his mouth? Li Zhi agreed to his last request.
Bashu "Tangmen"?
Do you want to start a hidden family?
While Li Zhi was miserable, a hint of gossip ignited in his heart.
Master Xuanzang came to Li Zhi and saluted Mr. Tang San in his arms. His own heart felt empty, and even his realm dropped to a lower level.
After all, Mr. Tang San was the "good corpse" beheaded by Master Xuanzang. When Tang San died, it was Master Xuanzang who was most affected.
At this time, Zhu Bajie and Xiao Bailong also gathered around.
"Kuroro, please forgive me and accept the change. The master has already entered reincarnation, and he has achieved great liberation. Since he is determined not to be tainted with Buddhism and does not want to practice immortality and Taoism, after he is reincarnated, I, the old pig, will say hello to Wude Xingjun and invite the master Just join the martial arts——"
Even though the master and apprentice have only been together for a short period of ten years, there are even more various interests involved here.
However, after all, they had traveled thousands of miles together, and the one who had the most contact with Tang San here was Zhu Bajie.
Sun Wukong was replaced midway, and the little white dragon mostly appeared in the form of a dragon and horse. And the mysterious third senior brother has not been heard from since his journey to the west. There is no trace of him in heaven or Buddhism?
The senior brothers lined up and performed nine rituals towards Tang San's body, and then... Mr. Tang San left this world completely, leaving not even a trace of smoke behind.
"Ah - Nezha, you... you are so cruel? -"
At this moment, a tragic cry broke the painful silence, and the battle between Yang Jian and Nezha and Men Luo finally decided the winner.
Nezha took advantage of his elder brother Yang Jian's opportunity to withstand all of Munro's attacks, and suddenly transformed into a "three heads and six arms" figure, and his combat power suddenly increased.
The "Hot Fire Wheel" under his feet spun sharply, and Nezha actually merged with the "Purple Flame Snake Spear and Fire Pointed Spear". The "Law of Fire" also operated to the extreme, and it directly penetrated Monroe's chest.
"Everyone can punish evil sects and evil ways. I have only locked up your soul. Now your life and death are completely in my hands. I advise you to be obedient!"
It turns out that Nezha's body-penetrating shot just now not only severely injured Munro, but also added a "ring of fire" to Munro's spirit with his own "Law of Fire" when it passed through the body. .
I saw that in the "ring of fire", Menluo's soul was struggling desperately, but it was unable to have the slightest effect.
Nezha is also cruel enough. In addition to his own "Law of Fire", he even used the golden lotus petals of merit given by Li Zhixiang.
This object is a defensive "innate spiritual treasure". Now it is used to imprison others, and its effectiveness is of course no problem.
"Help, Buddha, hurry up and stop this bull—"
Munro was subdued by Yang Jian and Nezha in an instant. The two were worried that others would cause trouble, so they directly took Munro into their own team and left him under the joint custody of Indra and Rutuolo.
At this time, the "Dingguang Joyful Buddha" became a little unable to bear it.
Although he has the "Six Soul Banner" in his hand, unfortunately, it is a "saint's" thing. He can only use it once, but he does not have the strength to refine it.
There is a big difference between refining and not refining at critical times, like now.
"Dingguang Happy Buddha" has the same level of cultivation as the Bull Demon King, but his combat power is inferior to the opponent. It is easy to have a heaven-defying spiritual treasure, which wastes mana but cannot exert its maximum effect.
How to fight this?
"Amitabha, Emperor, this 'Dingguang Joyful Buddha' is a member of our Buddhist sect after all. For the sake of the old monk, please let him go today -"
Tathagata Buddha finally spoke.
Mr. Tang San resolutely committed suicide on the spot just to "get rid of" the shackles of Buddhism?
The people sent out to capture Munro and the "Dingguang Happy Buddha", Samantabhadra was picked up by Sun Wukong. Seeing that he was already at a disadvantage, the others... simply did not dare to move.
Although the people under Li Zhi's leadership were not many, they had a lot of quarrels with them. As for Manjushri and the eighteen Arhats, they seemed to be a bit underwhelming.
It seems that it has never happened before that the Tathagata Buddha can be so kind to the Buddha in the "Main Hall" of "Da Leiyin Temple"?
"Hmph, he's just a renegade despicable villain. Anyone can kill him. Besides, this long-eared rabbit has betrayed Buddhism and joined the demon clan. I am the Grand Marshal of the Demons of the Three Realms personally proclaimed by the Great Heavenly Lord." This person is being collected—"
Mr. Tang San died right in front of his eyes. He sought benevolence and got benevolence, but in Li Zhi's opinion, he was plotted by Buddhism and forced to die by this Tathagata.
Logically speaking, Master Xuanzang should also be regarded as an accomplice. However, Mr. Tang San had already reconciled with the other party during his lifetime. Instead, the sitting Tathagata Buddha became the person who should be hated most in Li Zhi's mind.
"Amitabha, Emperor, is there no room for maneuver in this matter?"
At this time, Manjushri Bodhisattva also stood up bravely.
He knew Li Zhi. Over the years, Mu Zha suffered many defeats at the hands of Li Zhi. Through the mouth of his disciple Jin Zha, Manjushri Bodhisattva truly understood it.
Later, as Li Zhi's reputation grew, many "quasi-sages" were defeated at his hands. Manjushri Bodhisattva did not think that he would be able to defeat many parties. This was a strange "ancestral witch".
Li Zhi saw that the person standing up was Manjushri Bodhisattva, and simply ignored him. He turned around and directly took the half-crippled Munro into his sea of consciousness.
Munro is his key to uncovering the truth about "Wutian Buddha", and it can also be regarded as the spoils of his westward expedition to Lingshan. Li Zhi doesn't want him to make any mistakes again.
Li Zhi ignored Manjushri Bodhisattva, but he made him blush. Fortunately, with thousands of years of practice, this embarrassing scene disappeared in an instant in the "Mahatma Hall" where the Buddha's light shines.
There was a brief silence in the "Mahatma Palace". Apart from the fight between the Bull Demon King and Sun Wukong with their opponents, no other sounds could be heard.
...
"Amitabha, junior brother, your avatar is a good trick. You actually trained two such outstanding disciples? Not only are they extraordinary in combat power, but they are also people with great luck."
"It's a pity that such an outstanding disciple cannot join our Buddhist sect. It is really a loss to our Buddhist sect——"
In a quiet room in the "Purple Sky Palace", two old monks sat opposite each other. One of them opened his eyes slightly, and a scene appeared in front of him. If it wasn't the scene in the "Mahatma Palace" in Lingshan, what could it be?
"Amitabha, senior brother also knows that although my little brother's avatar was transformed by the 'good corpse', it has no connection with my Buddha at all. Instead, it is very close to that person. "
"Hey, look at his disciples, who are they? A naughty monkey? A reckless bull?"
The black-faced old monk who was called Junior Brother was quite dissatisfied with his Senior Brother's words.
The two of them have discussed this topic today countless times in the past eons, and the black-faced junior brother has never lost in words.
In his opinion, what the "good corpse" he killed did was simply deviant.
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t get close to Buddhism, but he still flirts with the Jie Jiao sect, and even accepts a man wearing unicorn and armor as his disciple?
Buddhism has never rejected the demon clan. After all, what they emphasize externally is "equality for all living beings."
However, let’s see what role the monsters play when they enter Buddhism? Most of them have been reduced to mounts, right?
But this time, when the black-faced junior brother saw how powerful Sun Wukong and the Bull Demon King were, he felt inexplicably disappointed, and even felt a little bit envious?
"The Tathagata is still a little impatient, and the methods he adopts are a little excessive. However, after all, he is a living Buddha, and the rise and fall of Buddhism is all due to him alone. You and I still have to protect him.
Two. "
Seeing that his junior brother was still talking in this tone, the senior brother no longer dwelled on the topic just now, and turned to look at Tathagata who looked slightly embarrassed in the "Mainxiong Hall".
"Okay, little brother, I'll let someone pass on the decree—"
The black-faced junior brother closed his eyes again, but there was a little golden light between his eyebrows. It flickered on and off, and quickly floated into the distance.
...
"Ahem, Great Heavenly Lord, is this... Tathagata Buddha back?——"
There is a blank space in the "Haotian Mirror". There is the Lingshan Mountain. The demonic energy that originally soared into the sky has long since disappeared, replaced by the sound of Buddha.
The Great Heavenly Lord has been sitting there for a quarter of an hour, seemingly thinking about something, speechless.
Taibai Jinxing felt a little depressed, coughed twice, and took two steps forward with courage.
"Taibai, what kind of ending do you think Li Zhi, the 'Generalissimo of Three Realms Conquering Demons', will give on the Lingshan Mountain?" "
"Look, in the sky above the Tang Dynasty, the fate of the human race is getting heavier and heavier, but the Buddhist sect that was supposed to flourish has not taken off, and is even worse than the Taoist sect?"
"The demons are a thing of the past. You quickly send your capable people to the Three Realms and Four Continents to take over the territory left by the demons... Nanzhanbuzhou, don't send people for the time being."
The answer was not what was asked, but Taibai Jinxing did not dare to refute. He bowed slightly and retreated from the "Tao Yang Hall".
"Li Zhi, Li Zhi, do you aspire to be the 'Human Emperor', or do you have a bigger plot?" Next, what kind of reward should I give you? ——"
After Taibai Jinxing left, only Great Heavenly Lord was left alone in the huge "Taoyang Hall".
Rather than getting along with Taibai Jinxing, the Great Heavenly Lord really likes to be alone more often.
Today's Three Realms are no longer the Three Realms he is familiar with. Looking at this situation, there is even a tendency to return to the prehistoric times.
It is not that the human race has never had glories before, but it is Li Zhi who makes the Great Heavenly Lord somewhat confused, or "elusive".
Thinking back to those days, Li Zhi's cultivation was still very weak, and he was able to be neither humble nor arrogant in the face of this Great Heavenly Lord. In Li Zhi's eyes, there was no trace of awe.
Yes, in his opinion, as the co-master of the three realms, it is the proper way for everyone to be respectful in front of him.
"It seems that we, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, have to find some opponents..."
...
"puff--"
The winner between the Bull Demon King and the "Dingguang Happy Buddha" has not yet been decided, but Sun Wukong, who was the last to strike, had already taken the lead and seriously injured the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
"Monkey Sun, you——"
A mouthful of golden blood spurted out, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's entire aura dropped by three points.
"Hey, Samantabhadra, you don't seem to be as powerful as before? I heard from Jiulang that you have also practiced a lot of demonic magical powers. Why don't you show them to me, old grandson, to have a look?"
Sun Wukong stroked the "stick" in his hand, as if he couldn't put it down, and even his saliva seemed to be drooling.
Because of Li Zhi's message, the stick in Sun Wukong's hand changed greatly. Before, it was the "Ruyi Golden Cudgel", but now...
Or "Ruyi Golden Cudgel"?
"Third brother, try letting the 'Ruyi Golden Cudgel' swallow up the 'Xixin Iron Soldier' and see, maybe there will be unexpected results——"
Seeing that Sun Wukong had the upper hand, but it didn't take thirty or fifty moves to defeat Samantabhadra, Li Zhi couldn't help but send a message to Sun Wukong.
Li Zhi even passed on a set of "weapon refining" techniques at the right time.
Today, Li Zhi can barely be called a "Master of Weapon Refining". He can easily master the method of combining "Ruyi Golden Cudgel" and "Xixin Iron Soldier" into one.
In fact, Li Zhi was also betting that in later generations, he seemed to have seen a few words somewhere, saying that the four Dinghaishen Iron Sources were integrated into one body.
Now that Sun Wukong has two sticks in his hands, why not try them out?
Regarding Li Zhi's words, Sun Wukong believed a hundred times. He understood the method of "refining weapons" with a sweep of his spiritual consciousness, and secretly called the "Xixin Iron Soldier" hidden in his ear.
The "Ruyi Golden Cudgel", which was originally golden and orange, turned a lot darker after it completely swallowed up the "Xixin Iron Soldier"?
At this time, Sun Wukong also felt the changes in the "Ruyi Golden Cudgel". Not only its appearance, but its weight had increased by more than half. It must have weighed more than 20,000 kilograms, right?
Not only did the weight increase, Sun Wukong also obtained a magical skill from the "Xixin Iron Soldier" - "Heart Vision".
It seems that you can peek into other people's consciousness. When fighting, can you predict the opponent's next move, or see through the opponent's strengths and weaknesses?
Of course, if the opponent's cultivation level is much higher than yours, even if you have mastered this magical skill, it seems that it will not be of use.
In line with the principle of not burdening oneself with many skills, Sun Wukong learned the "mind's eye" with just one thought. Then when he looked at Samantabhadra's attack, how could there be several flaws?
As a result, Sun Wukong dodged without missing a beat, and suddenly handed over the evolved "Ruyi Golden Cudgel".
"boom--"
A "Wishful Golden Cudgel" touched the Vajra of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
Now the fun is great. Samantabhadra's vajra is a rare "acquired spiritual treasure" after all. It has been influenced by Buddhism for thousands of years, but it failed to block this attack.
Not only was the vajra shattered on the spot, but Samantabhadra was also knocked several dozen feet away.
"Puxian, you are proud enough to be defeated by my grandson's 'Ruyi Golden Cudgel'. If you still want to defeat me, quickly change your weapons -"
After all, they are old acquaintances who have dealt with him many times, and Sun Wukong doesn't want to make things too extreme yet.
Besides, Sun Wukong believed that the only one who truly saw the truth about what happened back then was Tathagata Buddha.
With the "Ruyi Golden Cudgel" now, the light in Sun Wukong's eyes is even sharper.
Change weapons?
Samantabhadra is not stupid. Although he doesn't understand what's going on, he can already feel that the stick in the monkey's hand is different from the previous one.
"My disciple is incompetent and has brought shame on my Buddha——"
Samantabhadra wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly returned to his seat.
"Forget it, Munro is originally a member of the demon clan, and since 'Dingguang Huanxi Buddha' has surrendered to the demon clan, let him go, Amitabha——"
Samantabhadra was defeated, and Tathagata Buddha was really surprised.
He is still aware of this person's strength. He was one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao back then. He can also be regarded as his junior brother. He can definitely be ranked among the top twelve Golden Immortals.
Now that he has reached the level of "quasi-sage" by slaying a corpse, and with the blessing of Xitian Lingshan, he actually lost to Sun Wukong like this?
Tathagata Buddha's gaze was also focused on the stick in Sun Wukong's hand.
Um? This is? ...
"Wukong, the 'six-eared macaque' that I pretended to be before was so lifelike that it even deceived me, but it caused your death. This is my fault." "
"Fortunately, Ji people have their own destiny, and everything is destined in the dark. You can take this opportunity to reincarnate and cultivate again. Now you have made great progress in cultivation. It is really gratifying and congratulatory."
The position of "Buddhism's 'Fighting and Victory Buddha'" can be mentioned today by me as the sixth of all Buddhas. I wonder if Wukong is still willing to enter Buddhism again? ——"
The luck on Sun Wukong's head only increased compared to the past, and Tathagata Buddha was tempted again.
"Hahaha, Old Tathagata, back then you first trapped me under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years. My cultivation was imprisoned and I could not advance but retreat. "
"Later, you even allowed the 'six-eared macaque' to beat my old grandson to death. Now you're here pretending to be a good guy?" You were deceived by the 'six-eared macaque'
? This is the most unfunny joke I have ever heard——"
"O Tathagata, today is today. Even if I can't kill you, I will destroy this 'Mahatma Palace' of yours"——"
Well, Tathagata Buddha's recruitment stirred up all the old and new grudges in Sun Wukong's heart.
Lao Sun's head got hot and he didn't care much anymore. He just hit the Tathagata Buddha with the "Ruyi Golden Cudgel" in his hand.
Can he smash it through?
All eighteen Arhats went into battle, each holding a weapon and showing off his magical powers, and stopped Sun Wukong.
These eighteen Arhats are all "Daluo Golden Immortal". Unfortunately, except for the Dragon Subduing Arhat and the Fuhu Arhat, the others are only the most powerful in the middle stage of the "Daluo Golden Immortal".
Even Jianglong and Fuhu have only just reached the peak of "Daluo Jinxian", and they are far behind Sun Wukong in terms of cultivation and combat power.
"Building the Eighteen Arhat Formation"——"
As the leader of the Eighteen Arhats, the Arhat Who Subdued the Dragon could only bite the bullet and fight hard even though he knew he was not hostile to the opponent.
Fighting alone or simply fighting in groups is absolutely useless. Only by setting up the "Eighteen Arhat Formation" can the overall combat power of the Eighteen Arhats be doubled, enough to compete with ordinary "Quasi Saints".
"Brother Monkey, go about your business and give these eighteen bald donkeys to me, Lao Zhu and Xiao Bai Long -"
Before Sun Wukong reached out to the Eighteen Arhats, Zhu Bajie, who was standing behind him, came over waving the "Shangbaoqin Golden Rake", and with him came the little white dragon Ao Lie.
Brothers fight, father and son go into battle.
The old pig might not dare to take action against Tathagata Buddha, but it would be a different story if his opponent were the Eighteen Arhats.
"The two of me are here to join in the fun——"
Seeing Zhu Bajie and Xiao Bailong jumping into the "Eighteen Arhat Formation", Li Zhi winked at Indra and Rutuolo, and the two understood.
With the strength of Zhu Bajie and Xiao Bailong, if they fight against the Eighteen Arhats, they may be invincible. However, if they fight against the "Eighteen Arhats Formation", Li Zhi cannot see their chance of victory.
Therefore, Li Zhi let the two Asura demon generals pass in time. He did not want to see his two senior brothers injured.
In fact, Li Zhi saw Zhu Bajie's current actions and was moved in his heart.
Lao Zhu is different from others. Yang Jian, Nezha and Sun Wukong are Li Zhi's sworn brothers. Xiao Bailong, Yin and Lu have already been Li Zhi's protectors.
And what about the old pig?
People sit in the position of "Tianpeng Marshal" in the heaven. Even in Buddhism, there is still a "Jingtan Envoy" who has not resigned, and he is a disciple of "Tushita Palace".
Although Zhu Bajie came this time using a pig body from the past and repeatedly stated that it was purely a personal relationship, Lao Zhu actually brought the elite combat power of more than a thousand Tianhe naval forces.
Zhu, Ao, Yin, and Lu, four people at the pinnacle of the "Daluo Golden Immortal", would be foolproof against the "Eighteen Arhats Formation". Victory would be a matter of time, and it would only be a matter of time to see if the four of them were going to kill them.
"Tathagata, you don't know how to explain what my third brother just said?"
The "Chaos Bell" hung high above his head, and the "God-killing Spear" was held flat in his hand. The preparations he had made to deal with "Wutian Buddha" were now used directly by Li Zhi on Tathagata Buddha.
Li Zhi took a big step forward, and Yang Jian and Nezha followed him without hesitation. The four brothers stood in a row.
"Hey, in such a lively occasion, Pindao is a little unwilling to be lonely. Manjusri, why don't you come over and let the two of us make gestures -"
Being named a personal protector by Li Zhi, his status was even higher than that of Xiaobailong, Indra and Rutuoluo, ranking first among the four great protectors of the Tang Dynasty. Taoist Mosquito could not bear the loneliness.
The key point is that the three great protectors have all gone to fight the "Eighteen Arhat Formation". Even Li Zhi, the master, is about to take action. How can he, the Mosquito Taoist, have the nerve to be idle?
...
"Amitabha, all four of you belong to the three realms
It is really unwise to make such a reckless act out of a sudden choice. Mr. Erlang Zhenjun, do you think you are also going astray? ——"
Looking at the four people in front of him, Tathagata sighed softly in his heart.
Over the years, in addition to pursuing the great path, Tathagata has spared no effort to strengthen Buddhism, even accepting some extremely evil people.
The so-called, lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately.
How great would it be if these four people in front of me, plus the powerful Bull Demon King, could join Buddhism together? ...
