The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 238 Meeting the Lotus Lantern Master Li in Liu Family Village
Li Mu opened up a temporary cave near the Monkey King Dojo, and for the next few days, he stayed in Mount Emei to learn from Monkey King.

But before that, he used 49 [-] days to refine a python whip of the same style for Monkey King.

As for the snake skins further ahead, they have already been given to the Mahurajas under his command, and there is nothing superfluous.

After Sun Wukong got the python whip and learned how to control it, he began to teach Li Mu the magic power of three heads and six arms and the 72 transformations of earth evil.

One of the two devoted himself to teaching and the other to learning. In addition, Li Mu combined the understanding of several martial arts geniuses, and the learning progress was extremely fast.

In just two years, Sun Wukong has all the supernatural powers in his hands.

Then the two had another round of sparring, this time both of them showed their superpowers, and the fight was evenly matched, and no one could do anything to the other.

Afterwards, the two compared the way of change, and Sun Wukong was slightly better than Li Mu with years of experience.

In terms of the way of change, Li Mu didn't let it go. After all, he was a new learner, and his experience was indeed not as good as that of Monkey King.

After studying the Fa, Li Mu did not leave Mount Emei in a hurry, otherwise it would give people a sense of purpose.

He still stayed at Mount Emei, sparring with Monkey King from time to time, discussing supernatural powers together.

Zhu Bajie often secretly asks Li Mu for advice on Huanxi Zen, and then he will leave for a while, probably not knowing where to go, to try Huanxi Zen.

Dingguang Huanxi Buddha, who created the Huanxi Zen method, was originally the elder Dingguang Immortal of Jiejiao, so his Huanxi Zen method combines the advantages of Buddhism and Taoism.

In addition to the theory being the core of Buddhism's "controlling desires with desire", it also has the function of dual cultivation of Yin and Yang in Taoism to jointly improve cultivation.

Li Mu stayed in Emei Mountain for more than a year, and then he left and returned to his Tianmu Mountain Dojo.

Before leaving, Li Mu gave Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie [-] bottles of Qiongye Yuye each, making them feel good enough.

After making an appointment to drink and talk together when they had time, Li Mu took Bai Suzhen and others who had also benefited a lot in the past three years and left, and flew to Jiangnan.

Li Mu rode on the clouds, chatting with everyone while flying, and was not in a hurry, even so, he arrived in Huizhou after more than an hour.

Suddenly, Li Mu's expression changed, and he looked northeast.

Then I saw a rainbow light across the sky like a meteor, flying from northwest to southeast.

There was a golden light in Li Mu's eyes, and he could see through the rainbow light immediately.

I saw that the thing emitting rainbow light was actually a green lamp that looked like a lotus flower.

And in the rainbow light, there is also a handsome man in a Confucian shirt with his eyes closed.

In the arms of the man, he tightly held a small baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Li Mu was shocked. This is... the Lotus Lantern?

At this moment, Bai Suzhen and the others also saw the rainbow light, Xiaoqing asked curiously: "Is that the light? It's so fast."

Li Mu's eyes flickered, and he said to Bai Suzhen and the others: "Go back to the dojo first, I'll follow and have a look."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone to speak, it turned into a golden light and chased in the direction where Hong Guang flew away. The speed was as fast as lightning, and it was impossible for Bai Suzhen and the others to keep up.

The core of Li Mu's flying escape method is still Lei Guangdun, but he just covered it with a Buddhist cultivation base to deceive people.

The cultivation base of Buddhism wraps the power of thunder spirit tightly inside, without letting out the slightest breath, and others can't see it at all.

After staying away from Bai Suzhen and his party, Li Mu decisively dispersed the outer layer of Buddhist cultivation, revealing the original color of Lei Guangdun.

And within the blue-white twilight of the electric arc jump, Li Mu has turned into the image of Jiang Ming, with white clothes better than snow, long flowing hair, and extraordinary handsomeness.

Over the years, Li Mu has already felt the benefits of merit, and when he saw the situation of Hongguang clearly, he already understood what happened to him.

The birth of the new Tiantiao, the size is also a calamity, and it also affects the three realms, the movement is not small, and the merits that can be obtained will not be small.

If he can get the biggest piece of merit among them, maybe he can use it to achieve Da Luo Consummation in just a few decades.

The rest is to fully comprehend the law, and it is only a matter of course to wait for the law to control it day by day, and gradually catch up with the cultivation base, and prove the Dao Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

The Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian is on the same level as the saint, but he is not subject to the coercion of the heaven like the saint. He is really at ease between the heaven and the earth and has great freedom.

Of course, without the shackles of a saint, naturally there is no welfare of a saint.

The saint's true spirit rests on the way of heaven and coexists with the way of heaven.

Just like the Gods of Heaven entrusted with the list of gods, the list of gods itself is equivalent to the low-profile version of the way of heaven, and the righteous gods of heaven are also equivalent to the beggars' version of saints.

Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian didn't have this benefit, and he still had the possibility of being beaten to death.

It's just that the existence that can kill Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian has already been hacked to death by Pangu.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, who has proved the Tao with strength, can surpass the saint by a few blocks.

Even if the sage is unable to fight because of his innate treasure, at least he can run away, so that he will not be killed by life and death.

All in all, merit is a panacea, which is very important to Li Mu, and he has taken a fancy to the great merit of Xin Tiantiao's birth.

……

Although the Lotus Lantern was fast, no one controlled it after all. It only relied on the magic power of the Three Holy Mothers to fly away with Liu Yanchang and the infant Chen Xiang, and was soon caught up by Li Mu.

Li Mu didn't do anything, just followed the Lotus Lantern from afar, not to mention possessing the Lotus Lantern.

That is the treasure of Nuwa saint, even if he is courageous and hairy, he dare not make up his mind.

After a while, the speed of the lotus lamp finally slowed down, and began to form a parabola, slowly decreasing its height.

After the lotus lamp fell to the ground, Li Mu's spiritual consciousness swept away, and the situation within a radius of a hundred miles was in Li Mu's mind.

The rainbow light dissipated, and the Lotus Lantern stood on the ground like a dead object. Liu Yanchang and Chen Xiang in his arms emerged and lay down by a large lake.

This is by the Yangcheng Lake, more than a dozen miles outside of Suzhou City. Less than three miles away, there is a village. Coincidentally, this village is called Liujia Village.

This place is only more than 300 miles away from the East China Sea, and there is also a waterway directly leading to the East China Sea under Yangcheng Lake.

Obviously, the Three Holy Mothers did not send their father and son away indiscriminately, but had a clear purpose.

Li Muluo pondered for a while, then he began to think about it, and a smile appeared on his face.

He flipped his hand, took out the string of Buddhist beads that Tang Sanzang gave him back then, chanted a mantra softly, then threw the Buddhist beads out, and softly called "change".

A gust of spiritual mist burst open, and the string of Buddhist beads turned into the appearance of Fa Hai.

This is exactly the application of 72 changes, and it is the same effect as Monkey King pulling monkey hair.

It's just that Li Mu's string of Buddha beads contains great mana, and Li Mu regards it as an incarnation outside his body. As long as he doesn't take it back, he won't disappear due to exhaustion of mana.

Moreover, Li Mu also injected a large wave of mana, plus a divine sense.

In this way, the avatar transformed by the Buddhist beads not only has the cultivation base of the Xuanxian realm, but also connects with Li Mu's mind and spirit, which is enough to deceive Bai Suzhen and others.

The biggest advantage is that no matter how far apart the two parties are, Li Mu can instantly fuse with the avatar outside of his body, and will not reveal his flaws when he meets the powerful.

After transforming into an external avatar, Li Mu took out the purple gold bowl and gave it to him to hide it in his body to simulate a storage space.

Finally, all the things belonging to Fahai, such as the double-pronged fork, the python whip, the cassock, and the five-buddha crown, were handed over to the incarnation outside the body.

So far, Li Mu has temporarily separated from Fa Hai. As long as Fa Hai doesn't go out and meet those high-level people these years, there will be no problems.

The avatar outside the body returned to Tianmu Mountain alone, while Li Mu landed outside the Liujia Village, turned into a folding fan, and waving the folding fan lightly went to Liujia Village openly and aboveboard.

While walking, the consciousness covered the entire Liujia Village, and in the minds of all the villagers, there was an extra memory about Mr. Li Mu and Li.

In the memory of the villagers, Li Mu was originally from Hangzhou. 20 years ago, due to the severe flood in Hangzhou, everything in his family was wiped out, and his father died in the flood.

Li Mu, who was only seven or eight years old, fled to Suzhou with his mother and settled in Liujia Village.

When Li Mu was 13 years old, his mother died of illness, and Li Mu was taken in as a disciple by a ranger who traveled the world.

Li Mu left Liujia Village with his master, and did not return to Liujia Village until ten years later, that is, five years ago.

Li Mu, who has been away from home for ten years, has not only grown into a handsome and suave young man, but also has both civil and military skills. As soon as he came back, he tidied up the village tyrants in the village.

Later, he opened a private school in the village to teach the children in the village to practice literature and martial arts, which won the love and admiration of the villagers.

This is the identity Li Mu arranged for himself.

He walked into the village waving his folding fan, and walked slowly along the main road of the village. The villagers greeted him warmly along the way.

The older ones call him Young Master Li, those of the same age call him Brother Li, and those younger than him call him Brother Mu.

The older girls and younger daughter-in-laws in the village looked at him without concealing their admiration.

In the few years since he came back, the marriage proposals almost broke the threshold of the family.

It's a pity that Li Mu didn't know what he had experienced. He declined all marriage proposals and broke the hearts of countless girls.

When asked why, he didn't say the reason, but there was infinite sadness in his eyes.

When the proposer saw his eyes, he couldn't say anything, so he had to leave sadly.

Since then, no one has come to propose marriage. The villagers have privately said that Li Mu must have suffered some kind of emotional injury, and his heart is dead.

The villagers firmly believed in this statement, because with Li Mu's abilities, anyone with the slightest intention to make progress would not be able to become a private school teacher in this small mountain village.

Li Mu walked through the street and came to a large courtyard in the east of the village.

There is a plaque hanging on the gate of the villa, with the words "Haoran Bookstore" written on it, which is where Li Mu's residence and private school are located.

Naturally, this was conjured up by Li Mu, and it's not that kind of illusion, but a real villa built here.

With the law of good fortune derived from the law of five spirits, it is not easy for him to change some spiritual things out, but as long as he responds to mortal things, he can basically get what he wants.

That is to say, he is not yet consummated, and his mana cannot support him, otherwise he would have opened up the storage space in his body into a small world.

Recently, it was the busy farming season, and those students had to help the family with work, so there were no classes in the private school these days, and there were only a few handymen and cooks in the manor.

The cook is a middle-aged woman, and those handymen are the village tyrants that Li Mu took over before.

Li Mu returned to his residence, but his spiritual consciousness kept paying attention to Liu Yanchang.

After Liu Yanchang fell asleep for more than half an hour, a familiar figure of Li Mu appeared beside him.

It was none other than Ao Tingxin, the fourth princess of the East China Sea whom Li Mu once met.

She was one of the few people who knew what happened to the San Shengmu, so after the San Shengmu was suppressed by the Erlang God to the foot of Mount Hua, she immediately rushed to the vicinity of the East China Sea to search for the whereabouts of Liu Yanchang and his son.

The Third Holy Mother also knew that if she acted recklessly, once the incident happened, she would definitely not end well.

So after she gave birth to Chen Xiang, she made an agreement with her best friend Ao Tingxin that if something happened, she would send the father and son to the East China Sea, and ask Ao Tingxin to take care of her.

With the Lotus Lantern as a location, Ao Tingxin easily found the father and son.

After Ao Tingxin rescued Liu Yanchang, he comforted him for a while, telling him to think of Chen Xiang and live a good life.

Then take out some gold and silver and give it to Liu Yanchang, let him settle down in Liujia Village, and she will help inquire about the situation of the Three Virgins.

In this way, there is another family in Liujia Village.

Relying on the money given by Ao Tingxin, Liu Yanchang bought a piece of land in the village, hired craftsmen to build a house, and hired a nanny for Chen Xiang.

During the few months of building the house, Ao Tingxin came once and brought the news that the Three Virgins were suppressed, which made Liu Yanchang very depressed for a while.

But when he saw Chen Xiang waiting to be fed, he cheered up again and decided to raise Chen Xiang well.

After the completion of the new house, Liu Yanchang held a banquet, not only to celebrate the housewarming according to local customs, but also to take the opportunity to get acquainted with the residents of the village and ask for more care in the future.

The statement that Liu Yanchang settled in Liujia Village is the same as that of Li Mu in the past. His family suffered a disaster and came here as a refugee.

The villagers of the Liu family are simple and honest, and the villagers are very sympathetic to the orphan and widower.

In addition, when he built the house, he hired small workers to help out generously. The villagers had a good impression of Liu Yanchang, and the old village head even helped him run many things.

On the day of Liu Yanchang's banquet, Li Mu also prepared a gift to congratulate him on the housewarming.

When they arrived at Liu Yanchang's house, many villagers had already arrived, and when they saw Li Mu coming, they greeted him one after another.

Some teenagers also saluted him one after another, saying "I have seen you, sir".

Seeing this, Liu Yanchang also knew that Li Mudang was a very famous person in the village.

He looked at the old village chief beside him, and was about to ask, but the village chief smiled and said first, "Yanchang, this is Mr. Li Muli whom I told you about."

"When Chen Xiang grows up, he also wants to study with him, so go and meet him!"

Liu Yanchang went forward to greet him with kindness, clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Li is here, Liu Yanchang is far away to welcome you, please sit inside."

Li Mu was dressed in a clean white gown, elegant and handsome, with a gentle smile on his face, said: "Brother Yanchang, you are welcome, everyone is a scholar, and in the future you will be a fellow countryman, just call me Brother Li."

Liu Yanchang happily said: "Then it's better to be respectful than obey orders, brother Li please."

Most of the villagers in Liujia Village have the surname Liu. It would be inappropriate to call Brother Liu, because there are Brother Liu everywhere, so when Li Mu addresses people of the same age, he always adds brother after their names.

At this moment, Li Mu was holding a wooden box, and he handed it to Liu Yanchang, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to brother Yanchang on his housewarming, please be kind and accept it."

Liu Yanchang took it carefully, and said in his mouth: "Thank you brother Li, I will not be disrespectful."

Li Mu didn't send any valuables, the wooden box contained a set of exquisite cups and bowls of porcelain, which was perfect as a congratulatory gift for housewarming.

After the banquet, Liu Yanchang has completely integrated into the Liujia Village, and even became friends with Li Mu. Scholars are always easy to make friends with.

When Chen Xiang was one year old, Ao Tingxin also came. She saw Li Mu, but she didn't see any problem.

Ao Tingxin originally wanted to give Liu Yanchang some more money, but he is a man after all, so how could he always accept other people's money.

So he went to work as an apprentice with a bamboo craftsman in the village, learned how to make bamboo strips, and then used the last of his money to start a lantern business.

On the day when he first started to set up a stall, the villagers were very supportive, and it was sold out quickly.

However, lanterns are not consumables. Buying one can last for a long time, so the business was good for the first few days, and then it gradually faded.

One day, after school in the library, Li Mu waved his folding fan and came to Liu Yanchang's stall.

"Brother Yanchang."

Seeing that it was Li Mu, Liu Yanchang greeted him familiarly: "Brother Li, school is over!"

Li Mu nodded, looked at the lanterns on the stall, and said, "Aren't they sold?"

Liu Yanchang smiled wryly and said: "Every family has already bought it, and it will not be needed in a short time. I plan to sell it in the town while going to the market in a few days."

Li Mu sighed and shook his head, "Take these lanterns to me, I'll buy them."

Liu Yanchang glanced at Li Mu gratefully, and said, "Thank you Brother Li for your kindness, but it's really unnecessary."

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, the number of children in the village has gradually increased over the past few years, and children from neighboring villages also come to study with me, so I cannot avoid taking care of it alone."

"I plan to divide the children into two classes. One class is dedicated to those who have just started, and the other class is responsible for older children who already have foundations."

"You are also a scholar, why don't you come to my academy to help me, and help me teach the Meng class, and I will give you half of the training, what do you think?"

"This..." Liu Yanchang was quite moved, but his studies had been neglected for a long time, and he didn't know if he could be a good teacher.

Li Mu smiled and said: "The people who have studied in Liujia Village are all wealthy families. The only helper I can find is you as a friend. You won't even refuse to help with this kind of help, will you?"

Liu Yanchang is not a fool, Li Mu said he was asking him for help, but in fact he was helping him in a different way, how could he not see it?
Seeing that Li Mu has said so much, if he hesitates again, he will be a little clueless.

So he said weakly: "Then... let me try?"

Li Muzhan smiled and said, "Try it, I believe you will do it."

Liu Yanchang also laughed, and said in a grateful voice, "Brother Li, thank you."
