The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 263 Li Mu: Whether Tathagata can come back depends on my mood

"With our friendship, why should we be so divided? Call me Fa Hai."

The golden-winged roc was very happy with Li Mu's attitude, and said, "Then you can call me Dapeng too. Since you reincarnated and rebuilt, we haven't seen each other for decades, so we must have a good reunion today."

Li Mu said happily: "That's exactly what I mean."

With a wave of his hand, a low table appeared out of thin air on the fairy cloud, on which were several bottles of fine wine and jade liquid, some spiritual fruits picked from Huaguo Mountain.

Li Muke was reluctant to entertain him with flat peaches, for him, flat peaches were a source of cultivation.

Even if he himself is useless because of eating too much, it can also be used to cultivate his own power, right?

King Dapeng Ming and King Peacock Daming are Tathagata's uncle and Buddha's mother in name, but they are actually Tathagata's Dharma protectors, and their identities are like the left and right of Li Mu.

It's just that they have been practicing in the Tathagata's Buddhist kingdom, and rarely come out if there is no major event.

When the Peacock Daming King was born in Wutian, he hid himself in the black lotus for self-protection, so now Qiao Linger is only guarded by the golden-winged roc.

Li Mu set up the table, and the two sat down cross-legged in front of the table, talked to each other for three rounds, and then talked about serious business.

"Fahai, why are you here?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Of course I'm here to protect the Buddha's reincarnated soul boy. You should have seen a few people from left to right, right? They are the Dharma protectors and attendant novice monks under my seat."

The golden-winged roc suddenly realized, and said: "So that's the case. I wonder which Buddha and Bodhisattva arranged this. It turned out to be yours. So, those people in the cottage..."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Three of them are my concubines, and the other two are the wives of my lay disciples."

The golden-winged roc said in admiration: "It seems that your ability to calculate is no longer inferior to that of the Buddha. I admire you."

After saying this, he asked curiously: "Since you returned from reincarnation, your cultivation has been improving by leaps and bounds, and now you are the well-deserved No. "

Li Mu's heart moved, and he said solemnly: "Although the main reason for the rapid progress in cultivation is the merits of calamity, the benefits of reincarnation and re-cultivation are indeed not small."

"Not only can you wash away your karma, but you can also see your nature and make yourself more in line with the way of heaven."

"The human race is the protagonist of the world, and it is favored by the Great Dao. Dapeng, you eat too many people and have a lot of karma. After finally accumulating some merits, they are all used to resolve the karma. It is a blood loss."

"If you choose to reincarnate and recultivate, although you have to start from scratch, all the karma in your body will be wiped out. With your reincarnation's aptitude, it will only be a matter of time before you recover all your mana."

"And if you are reborn as a human race, when you return to your throne in the future, you will no longer have the thought of cannibalism. This is of great benefit to your practice."

The golden-winged roc nodded thoughtfully, then nodded and said: "Since that's the case, after the calamity is over, I will also find a time to reincarnate and re-cultivate, and go to the mortal world for a while."

Li Mu gratified and proclaimed: "Amitabha, you are so good."

Yes, faithfully serve the country Yue Wumu in place.

The two drank a few more rounds, and Li Mu suddenly asked, "By the way, Dapeng, do you know where my senior brother is now?"

The golden-winged roc shook his head and said, "I don't know where he is, but I know where he will definitely go."

"The soul boy wants to influence the white lotus. There was a death calamity. The day the soul boy died was the time when I went to find Monkey King."

Li Mu understood, he was talking about the Shuangta Temple, and Zhu Bajie, who was transformed by Monkey King and the six-eared macaque, would go to the Shuangta Temple sooner or later.

In the original plot, when Monkey King arrived at the Shuangta Temple and got the relic, the golden-winged roc took advantage of his unpreparedness to take the relic and led Monkey King to the place where Qiao Linger's body was.

Qiao Ling'er was rescued by Monkey King, which triggered a series of plots.

But now that the relics are all in his hands, only Monkey King's lamp-burning relics are missing. Obviously, there is no need to continue the original plot. It is time to close the net and make it clear to Wutian.

Although without boneless relics, the vast mana power of the sixteen relics cannot be fully displayed, but if the sixteen relics are gathered together, some power can be aroused to some extent.

In the original plot, Monkey King was beaten by Wutian in various ways in the early stage, but after swallowing sixteen relics, he was able to fight Wutian evenly.

In the end, he turned himself into a boneless relic, fully aroused the mana of the seventeen relics, and instantly killed Wutian.

Li Mu's mana was already stronger than Monkey King, and with the help of sixteen relics, even if it wasn't enough for him to prove Hunyuan, it was still enough for him to be tough and unstoppable.

And once Sun Wukong turns into a boneless relic and swallows it for Li Mu, then he can use the infinite mana of the seventeen relics in an instant to prove the Tao with strength and cultivate the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.

Thinking of this, Li Mu said to Golden Winged Roc: "Dapeng, before you were alone and had to rely on the strength of my elder brother to act, but now that I am here, our plan can be changed."

The golden-winged roc nodded and said, "That makes sense, then what do you think we should do?"

Li Mudao: "I will protect the reincarnated soul boy of the Buddha here. You should find my elder brother as soon as possible and let him come and join us."

"Then we managed to sneak into the underworld and rescue the suppressed Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, as well as all the gods in heaven."

The golden-winged roc frowned, shook his head helplessly and said: "I'm afraid it's useless, as long as no one among us can deal with Wutian, even if we are rescued, we will be arrested again."

"Even at that time, there were too many people, and they couldn't even hide, and the advantage of the enemy in the open and us in the dark would be lost."

Li Muzhan smiled, and did not directly answer, but asked: "Then according to the information you have, Dapeng, how can we have the power to fight against Wutian?"

The golden-winged roc said: "Seventeen ancient Buddha relics, as long as we can gather all seventeen ancient Buddha relics, we will have the power to solve Wutian."

"The only person who can collect all seventeen relics is Monkey King, so...uh, this..."

Before the golden-winged roc finished speaking, his eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Li Mu's mouth in astonishment, and fifteen relics came out of his mouth, forming a circle in front of him.

Li Mu said with a smile: "This is the fifteen I collected. The relic of Burning Lamp Buddha is in the hands of my elder brother, so we are only short of one boneless relic."

After saying this, he opened his mouth and took a breath, swallowed the fifteen relics again, and continued: "And Dapeng, your news may be wrong, or you may have misunderstood it."

"It's not that my elder brother is the only one who can collect all seventeen relics, but that only he can find the boneless relic."

The golden-winged roc scratched its head in a daze, and said, "It's...really? Did I get it wrong?"

Li Mu nodded affirmatively, and said, "My understanding is wrong, the boneless relic is the most important one among the seventeen relics, and it is the foundation of ten thousand Buddhas."

"Without boneless relics, the power of the sixteen relics cannot be aroused, and the Buddha cannot return. That's why you think that only my elder brother can gather all seventeen relics."

The golden-winged roc suddenly said: "So that's the case. In the final analysis, it still depends on Monkey King."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Indeed."

The golden-winged roc said: "Okay, I'll leave it to you to take care of this place, and I'll go find Monkey King in a while."

Li Mu lifted the wine bottle and said, "Thank you, Dapeng."

The golden-winged roc raised the bottle to touch him, and said, "It's all what I should do, so it's hard work."

The two raised their heads to drink, but the golden-winged roc didn't notice the smile on the corner of Li Mu's mouth.

This guy is really simple-minded, it's really easy to fool, he said so in a few words, all the explanations given to him before the reincarnation of the Tathagata were all in vain.

To put it bluntly, after he obtains the boneless relic and proves the Hunyuan, whether or not the Tathagata will return depends on his mood and the attitude of the two Western sages.

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, in the cottage, Bai Lianhua opened the prison and walked to Qiao Linger who was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed.

When Qiao Ling'er heard the movement, she just opened her eyes and glanced at her lightly, without saying a word.

Bai Lianhua looked at Qiao Ling'er with a half-smile, and said, "Are you hungry?"

Qiao Ling'er pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.

Bai Lianhua said: "It's been two days and two nights, you don't eat or drink, just to fight with me, is it worth it?"

Qiao Ling'er didn't respond, and Bai Lianhua felt a surge of anger, but she forcibly held back and said in a calm tone, "As long as you tell me you're hungry, I'll ask someone to bring you something to eat."

Qiao Ling'er hadn't eaten for two days, and Bai Lianhua felt distressed, but she couldn't bear it anymore, so she planned to give Qiao Ling'er, and herself, a step up.

It's a pity that Qiao Ling'er obviously didn't understand her intention, so she snorted softly and said, "Isn't that the same as begging for mercy?"

Bai Lianhua heard the words and said angrily: "Why are you so stubborn? In order to save me at the Town God's Temple Fair, you were willing to be beaten like that by Hu Eshao."

"But now I just want you to give in to me, is it that difficult?"

Qiao Ling'er's expression changed when she heard the words, and she said seriously, "I'm willing to lose my life even if it's to save someone."

Bai Lianhua said angrily: "But if you are angry with me, you will also lose your life. Is it worth it?"

Qiao Linger said solemnly: "Everything I do now is still to save people."

"Oh? Save who?"

Qiao Ling'er looked at Bai Lianhua again, and said, "Save you."

Bai Lianhua shouted angrily: "It's nonsense, I think you should save yourself first, you are so ignorant, even if you kneel down and beg me now, I won't bother you anymore."

Qiao Ling'er closed her eyes again, Bai Lianhua turned around and left short of breath when she saw this, obviously very angry.

……

Not long after Bai Lianhua left, the prison was opened again, and Bai Suzhen walked in gracefully.

Qiao Ling'er opened her eyes and looked at her, then closed them again, and said, "Are you also here to persuade me to give in to her?"

Bai Suzhen pursed her lips and said softly, "No, I just came to tell you something that you don't know."

Only then did Qiao Ling'er open her eyes again, and said, "I don't know what?"

Bai Suzhen smiled and said: "For example, you don't know that when you were beaten by the Hu family's evil young master in order to save the king, she already fell in love with you."

"She sent someone to invite you because she wanted to formally make friends with you, but it's a pity that the sisters in the cottage are not well-informed, and they are full of worldly habits. Not only did they fail to invite you, but they made you disgusted."

"You don't know, the last time we went to Qiao's Village in a mighty way, it was actually one of our sisters jokingly saying that we might as well take you up the mountain to be an official in the village, but your majesty took it seriously."

Qiao Ling'er stared at Bai Suzhen dumbfounded, she opened her mouth for a long time and couldn't say a word.

Good guy, are all the female bandits these days so tough?
Bai Suzhen laughed and said, "Isn't it incredible?"

Qiao Ling'er tidied up her messy mind, frowned and said, "But what she did doesn't look like it!"

Bai Suzhen sighed, and said: "No matter how strong a woman's personality is, she still has a thin skin, and she is a king of the mountain, so she cares more about her face."

"She's embarrassed to show her love, that's why she wants you to be soft on her and take the initiative. It's a pity that your elm head is still not clear."

"Mr. Qiao, you have a heart of Buddha. We can all see that you want to influence the king so that she will do less evil and be good. But you just don't understand the heart of a woman."

Qiao Ling'er was silent, she looked at Bai Suzhen again after a while, and said, "Girl, you don't look like a bandit at all, why are you in the cottage?"

Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "I am not a bandit in the first place. In the words of the world, I am a heroine."

"It was only after hearing the rumors about the king that she was not a bad person, so I wanted to guide her on the right path, so I joined her."

"Actually, my goal is the same as yours, but my plan is to subtly guide and guide slowly, but you are a little radical."

Qiao Ling'er said solemnly: "For a person like Bai Lianhua, I have to be aggressive, because the later she becomes a good person, the more murder she will cause."

Bai Suzhen shook her head, and said: "I don't agree with your son's words, the king killed all villains who committed many crimes, and he never killed innocent people indiscriminately, so how can he kill evil?"

"One more wicked person dies, and the good person will suffer less oppression. Punishing the evil is to promote the good, and even Buddhism has angry eyes."

Qiao Ling'er said: "The ones killed by the angry King Kong are all heinous, heinous, and incapable of transmutation. But for ordinary villains, the Buddhists will eventually take the way of transmutation first."

"White Lotus doesn't care about killing all villains, but she punishes them without teaching. Some people who work for tigers may not necessarily be vicious by nature, and often they can't help themselves."

"Just like the guards of the Hu family, are they really heinous people?"

Bai Suzhen sighed secretly, after all, Qiao Ling'er was not an ordinary person, but the reincarnation of the Buddha, so deep down in his heart, he pursued the Buddhist philosophy of saving all living beings.

And her King Ming, because he has been in the world of mortals once, his philosophy is actually a bit incompatible with Buddhism, but she believes that what his King Ming does is the justice of heaven.

To transform a wicked person, even if he puts down the butcher knife in the end, abandons evil and pursues good, will the good person who was killed by him die in vain?
Tathagata puts down the butcher knife and becomes a Buddha immediately.

The king of Ming pursued good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil.

Bai Suzhen stood firmly on the side of her family, King Ming, because good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil, which is the most fair law of heaven.

"My lord, I can't persuade you. You already know everything. It's up to you how to choose. You can do it yourself!"

Bai Suzhen sighed softly, turned and left.

After Qiao Ling'er knew Bai Lianhua's feelings for him, she became more determined to influence her.

……

Another ten days passed, Qiao Ling'er refused to eat all the time, Bai Lianhua became more irritable every day, but in fact she became more flustered every day.

She began to seriously think about what Qiao Linger meant by "save her".

Recalling Qiao Ling'er's words and deeds since the first time she met her, Bai Lianhua slowly felt a kind of enlightenment.

In the prison, Qiao Ling'er was lying in the corner angrily, her face was as pale as paper, her lips were chapped and bleeding.

Tears rolled down Bai Lianhua's cheeks, Qiao Ling'er looked at her weakly, and said in a weak voice, "You are crying."

Bai Lianhua said stiffly, "I didn't, it was the sand that flew into my eyes."

But her sobbing voice completely betrayed her, and a bit of pleading appeared in her eyes, and she said: "If you don't eat, you will starve to death."

Qiao Ling'er murmured: "Human life is in your heart, I'm afraid it's worth nothing. Why should you worry about my life?"

Bai Lianhua finally couldn't bear it anymore, picked up a steamed bun and fed it to Qiao Linger's mouth, crying: "I know, I won't kill people indiscriminately in the future, and I don't want you to give in to me, you should eat something ! If you don’t eat, you will starve to death.”

Hearing her words, Qiao Linger finally showed a hearty smile on her face, and said slowly: "I am really happy to hear these words."

"If my death can arouse your kindness, then my death is worth it. I saved one of you and saved more people."

After saying this, he held on to the breath that he couldn't swallow, and finally swallowed it completely.

There was just a hint of a smile on his face, he closed his eyes, tilted his head and was lifeless.

Bai Lianhua turned pale in shock, and shouted in a panic: "Linger, Linger, talk, talk, Linger..."

Hearing her panicked voice, the five daughters of Bai Suzhen and several leaders filed in and entered the prison.

But Bai Lianhua stretched out her fingers to probe Qiao Ling'er's neck, then retracted the next moment like an electric shock, and then hugged Qiao Ling'er and cried bitterly.

"Linger, I don't want you to die, Linger..."

Seeing Bai Lianhua's painful appearance, the girls were also very sad. They didn't even know how to comfort her at this moment.

After a long time, Bai Lianhua finally stopped crying. She put Qiao Linger down, looked at him tenderly and said, "Linger, you are the first person to let me admit defeat, fool, how can you not eat?"

"Do you know Linger? I like you, really, I really like you."

After speaking, he stood up slowly, turned around with a dull expression, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the long sword in the hand of a leader, drew the sword out of its sheath with a clang, and raised his hand to wipe it towards his neck.

"don't want……"

All the female bandits exclaimed in unison, but Bai Suzhen and the others were pretending.

When the white lotus sword was less than two inches away from her neck, a golden light appeared out of thin air, covering her right arm, and the long sword in her hand flew out uncontrollably.

The next moment, the prison cave was filled with golden light. Li Mu sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, with a golden halo behind his head, slowly floating in the midair of the cave.
