(Don’t laugh at those who are in the trough, he also stopped at the top of the mountain)
Heat waves hit one after another. Mo Yun and Mu Zhizhi stood on a high cliff and looked into the distance. Inside the bronze door is a lava cave. The surrounding area is overflowing with magma. There are black stones floating on the magma. Red light fills the entire space. Mo Yun and Mu Zhizhi’s eyes are staring at the two Buddha statues in the center of the magma. .
I saw two Buddha statues sitting facing each other, a hundred feet tall, with flowers in their hands and an open mind. The Buddha statue on the left is the true form of Manjusri, but the one on the right is not Manjusri.
This Buddha has a big head and a face without any facial features. He does not know what his appearance is, and he is respected in the Western Heaven Taoist Hall. No kind eyes, reflecting the blood-red light, viewing the three realms in the Lingshan Palace, and competing for faith at the foot of Mount Wutai. This is the image of the Tathagata blessed by thunder!
Mo Yun and the two looked from a distance, and saw a chain of golden light growing out of the flower-carrying fingers of the two Buddha statues, and where the chains met was hanging the gasping body - the Blue Lion King!
But at this time, the Blue Lion King was no longer as powerful as he once was. There is also a poem to prove it. The poem says:
Green beard, green leather head, rotten teeth grinding into the mouth.
The muscles are wrapped around the bones, and the strips are wrinkled and dry.
Breathing without even wind, throat difficult to swallow.
The two-foot-long body is alone and regarded as dry wood.
I still recall my bravery in those days, when thousands of mountains and clouds swayed.
Cutting Nan Tian with one sword, swallowing thousands of soldiers with his mouth.
The green beard is poured with strong wine, and all the gods are pointed at it.
Kyushu allows me to travel freely, and the forest smiles in the spring breeze.
Unexpectedly, the world changed and imprisoned me in the Buddha's cage.
Black hair is replaced by white hair, and the heroic spirit is transformed into dragon bells.
When Mo Yun saw the Blue Lion King looking like this, his eyes filled with angry tears. He jumped on these stone pillars and ran over. Although Mu Zhizhi felt strange, he had no choice but to follow Mo Yun Chong when he saw him.
These stone pillars floated on the magma and jumped up and down when stepped on by these two people. After dodging several times, the two of them were getting closer and closer to the Lion King, but just when Mo Yun stepped on a stone pillar again, a huge stone ax crashed down from the top. The stone ax fell, blocking the way for the two of them, and aroused the surrounding magma and fire waves to attack the two of them. Upon seeing this, Mu Zhizhi took the lead and fell in front of Mo Yun. He raised his hand and raised the jade flute and shouted: "Jade Wall Jue!"
Suddenly, the jade flute's light appeared and formed an energy barrier to remove the magma fire wave. But the change didn't stop. The stone pillars surrounding the two people suddenly turned around and thrust the red-hot fire tip at the other end towards the two people.
Mo Yun was furious. The Lion King was so close, but his way was blocked by this Lao Shizi trap. He drew out the Nine-ring Heaven-Destroying Sword from behind and flew around, spinning and dancing with bursts of ring light...
"Duanyue Dance!"
In response, these fire tips were instantly cut into several sections by the dancing ring of light and fell into the magma. Mo Yun glared angrily, flicked his hand and shot the sky-cutting knife towards the stone ax that fell into the magma, and only heard a "click" , this giant stone ax broke apart. Mo Yun galloped forward, picked up the Heaven-cutting Sword and the Wooden Branch, and arrived below the Lion King.
He inserted the Tianzhu Dao into the ground, formed the tiger seal with his hand and summoned a stone platform to float up into the air. Only then did he and Mu Zhizhi see the face of the Lion King in the air.
"The Lion King..." Mo Yun stepped forward and reached out to stroke the Lion King's beard and hair, but when he saw that the heroic soul had become so embarrassed, the hand he stretched out began to hesitate and tremble.
Mu Zhizhi took a deep breath, stepped forward, grabbed Mo Yun's trembling hand, and placed it on the Blue Lion King's beard. At that moment, the entire lava cave actually shook.
"who is it…?"
The old voice echoed in this magma world and seemed so weak, but in the ears of Mo Yun and the two of them, it was the joy they had not heard for a long time.
The two of them knelt down excitedly, with tears streaming from the corners of Mo Yun's eyes. He said in a trembling voice: "Lion King, the end is coming too late, it's too late."
The Blue Lion King heard the sound and slowly opened his eyelids. The bloodshot eyes in his eyes had already turned into cracks. He looked at the two blurry figures in front of him and murmured: "Yes, are they Xiaobai and Zhizhi? You, why are you here..."
When Mo Yun heard the Lion King calling them two, he immediately stood up and said, "Yes, it's Xiaobai and Zhizhi who are here to see you."
The Lion King smiled bitterly: "Moving mountains, are you okay?"
Mo Yun nodded hurriedly and said: "The fire is all here, Lion King..."
"Ahem..." The Blue Lion King coughed twice and sighed, "These shackles have almost exhausted all my body power. Fortunately, Manjusri protected me and put me under the dragon's veins on this stage, so I have been able to survive until now. .”
"What??"
Mo Yun and Mu Zhizhi were shocked, "Manjusri is protecting you? What on earth is going on?"
The Green Lion King took a heavy breath and told Mo Yun and Mo Yun everything that happened that year.
It turns out that five hundred years ago, after the three lion and camel kings were defeated, the Green Lion King entrusted his Heaven-Destroying Sword to Mo Yun, and he was captured by Manjusri and taken to Mount Wutai.
The Lion King originally thought that Manjusri would restrain him and extract his magic power, but Manjusri just locked him in the earth vein cave. After an unknown period of time, Manjusri came to the cave and told him a shocking secret.
As early as many years ago, the four great Bodhisattvas discovered the strangeness of the Tathagata. He originally had a desire to transcend the world and began to slowly move towards the other extreme.
The Tathagata spread the sutras to the mortal world in order to save all sentient beings, but it happened to be hindered by Lingxiao. Sanqing holds life and death in his hands and judges fate arbitrarily. If there are no emotions, six desires, love and hatred in the world, how can there be people who worship gods? Therefore, Sanqing confused people's hearts with their destiny, turning the Buddhist scriptures that were supposed to save the world into empty pieces of paper.
From that moment on, he knew that if he wanted to transcend this world, he must obtain enough power, enough power to destroy the world.
He wants the world to return to chaos and the ugly people's hearts to be purified again.
This is the so-called nirvana, the so-called rebirth...
Finally, thousands of years ago, the war between gods and demons broke out, and Tathagata knew that his opportunity had come. He proposed the "Westward Journey Plan" to the Jade Emperor under the guise of collecting demons. On the surface, he was helping the Jade Emperor eradicate the rebellious demon clan, but in fact, it was to absorb the power of the demon kings.
Among them are the Monkey King, the Monkey King, the Monkey King, the Bull Demon King and the Golden-winged Peng King, the Great Sage of Pingtian. Only when the King of Peng was surrendered, Xitian suffered heavy losses in battle, and Tathagata had no time to take care of the Green Lion and the White Elephant, so he handed over the Blue Lion King and the White Elephant King to Manjushri Samantabhadra. As for the Great Sage Qi Tian who was later beaten to death on Lingshan Mountain, Tathagata did not expect this.
But what he didn't know was that Manjusri Samantabhadra and Avalokitesvara were the spies planted by Sanqing beside him, with the purpose of restricting Tathagata from making too big moves.
The Green Lion King asked Manjusri, if he was an eyeliner, he would work for Sanqing, why not hand himself over to Sanqing.
Manjusri smiled and said, now God is no longer God and Buddha is no longer Buddha, but the four Bodhisattvas still keep their minds out of the matter. Guanyin cannot become a Buddha, Ksitigarbha cannot become a Buddha, and Manjushri and Samantabhadra cannot become a Buddha!
The Buddha is empty, but the Bodhisattva cannot be empty. They are still in the world to help people do good deeds, not to help people become Buddhas. If they don't succeed in one day, they will succeed in ten thousand years.
Manjusri said, since there is no end to the sea of suffering and there is no shore to turn back to, how about staying in the world and sharing the ups and downs with the common people?
From then on, the Lion King knew that there were people in the God Clan who cared about the world.
However, Tathagata's decree finally reached Manjusri. He ordered Manjusri to build a soul-refining chain and use the body of the Blue Lion King to absorb the power of the Nine Provinces Dragon Veins. Manjusri had no choice but to comply. But he is waiting for a hope, a hope that can overthrow the East and West at the same time. They also want to see what will happen to the people if there is no destiny set by the Gods.
The Lion King told him that the demon flag was still there, and the demon clan was bound to win a pure land for the souls in the world who longed for freedom. But on this day, I don’t know if I can see it.
After hearing what the Lion King said, Manjusri split the Soul Refining Lock into two parts. On one side, he transferred the Dragon Vein Qi purified by the Lion King into the Lingshan Mountain, and on the other side, he quietly transferred the power of faith he had obtained to the Lion King. . In this way, Mo Yun and Mu Zhizhi saw two facing Buddha statues.
It's a pity that in the past five hundred years, the energy of the dragon veins that Lingshan has taken away from the Lion King is far greater than the power of faith, so this indomitable heroic soul turned into an old man...
The two of them were shocked when they heard this. Mo Yun reached out to touch the chain on the left side, and a horizontal force was poured into his body instantly. This force rushed into Lingming, making his bones light. And when he touched the chain ten on the right, he clearly felt that his mana was flowing away rapidly.
What the Lion King said was true, this Bodhisattva had a good heart and did a good deed.
The Lion King sighed and said: "Xiao Bai Zhizhi, you two are here to move the mountain demon flag."
Mo Yun nodded and said: "The descendants of the Phoenix came to the world and regained the position of Great Sage Huntian. The fire in the world has been ignited. We found Nine Thousand Great Sages of Overcoming the Sea in Beihai a few days ago, and the glory of the demon clan is about to be revived... .”
"Okay, okay... I didn't expect Jiuqian to be persuaded by you. I would like to meet the descendant of the phoenix," the Lion King said.
Mo Yun said: "What's so difficult about this? He's outside now, I'll put him..."
The Lion King shook his head and interrupted him: "Xiaobai, time is running out. If you break into this place, not only Manjusri will notice it, but Xitianling Mountain must also feel something strange. Just listen to me..."
Just as the Lion King was about to reveal the location of the Mountain-moving Demon Flag, the head of the giant Buddha statue on the right suddenly began to rise.
"Mo Yun! Take my eyes away quickly!" the Lion King said hurriedly.
Mo Yun said: "Lion King, how dare you take away your eyes?!"
The Green Lion King saw cracks starting to appear on the Buddha statue's faceless face, and shouted: "It's too late to elaborate! These tricks can lead you to the mountain-moving demon flag. Take it and run away!"
Seeing that Mo Yun was still hesitating, Mu Zhizhi stepped forward and knelt down and bowed: "Lion King, I'm offended!"
He closed his eyes and used his hand as a blade. He saw a flash of red, and the Blue Lion King's move landed in Mu Zhizhi's sleeve.
"Let's go!" The Lion King shouted, Mu Zhizhi gritted his teeth, picked up Mo Yun's clothes and led him away from the lava cave.
"Roar!!"
The Blue Lion King roared in the distance, and the sound wave shook the two of them instantly from the writing cliff.
The sound in the cave suddenly stopped, and the crack on Tathagata Wuxiang's face slowly opened into an eye. The one-eyed eye scanned around and saw that the stone pillars in the cave were messy and the stone axes were broken. He also saw the Blue Lion King hanging his head and saying nothing. He immediately shot out a golden light from the one-eye and lifted the Lion King's head.
The lion king stared at the stone Buddha with his empty eye sockets. The stone Buddha was not angry and opened his mouth again: "It doesn't matter if you lose your eyesight, just live."
Speaking of fear, the two cracks on the face gradually closed, and everything returned to tranquility.
On the other side, just as Mo Yun was grieving, he suddenly saw the phantom of a golden statue of Manjushri reaching the sky appearing on Jinxiu Peak!
The strong wind flashed past, and when the two of them came back to their senses, they realized that they had arrived in a mountain forest, and the three people standing next to them were Lan Feng and the others!
