Too much fruit

Chapter 751 The sixth child’s behavior
"The enlightened one has come out of retreat."

Jiang Li, who had just dealt with Jiang Zhuyang, also noticed the changes in the Buddhist country far away. The spiral light column that reached the sky and the strange and changing visions were so strange that even Jiang Li, who was in the white mountains and black waters, could see them.

Not to mention, there is the causal line that has become a mess, and the confusing secrets of heaven.

The previous secrets were like an underwater undercurrent, which seemed calm on the surface, but in fact no one could figure out the situation underwater. After all, it involved two huge beings, the Awakened One and the Karma Tathagata.

Now these two giants have surfaced, stirring up raging waves and tsunamis, further disturbing the secrets of heaven, but also turning the undercurrent into a stormy wave, which is now exposed. Anyone with a little knowledge of the Yi Dao can sense the shocking changes that have occurred in the Buddha Kingdom.

The only ones who can cause such a big commotion are the Enlightened Ones and the Karma Tathagatas.

The unexpected change made Jiang Li's eyes twitch involuntarily. He had just dealt with Jiang Zhuyang, but the awakened one came out of seclusion.

"True Lord Taibai... No, it should be called the Buddha's Hell of Fire. We really underestimated them." Jiang Li sighed lightly.

After realizing that the news that he would go to the Buddhist Kingdom was spreading rapidly and reaching the entire Buddhist Kingdom within just one day, Jiang Li had already guessed that True Lord Taibai might have gone to the Buddhist Prison of Fire House.

However, Jiang Li did not expect that Huozhai Buddha Prison would directly take action and confront Lingtai Mountain head-on.

Compared to the Buddha Kingdom, the Fire House Buddha Prison is too young, having been established only a hundred years ago, and its leader, Karma Tathagata, has been in seclusion for more than a hundred years. Below Karma Tathagata, the strongest person in the Fire House Buddha Prison is the fourth-rank Asura King Rahu. If he wants to cause trouble, he can, but if he breaks into Lingtai Mountain with Taibai Zhenjun, it would be too much of a disregard for the Buddha Kingdom.

As it turned out, Jiang Li was wrong about this point. The Buddha Prison of Fire House actually broke into Lingtai Mountain and succeeded.

He underestimated the ability of the Fire House Buddha Prison and underestimated the ability of others to act.

While Jiang Li was doing things, the others were not idle either.

"How to do?"

A stream of light flew closer, and the Rain Master Yuanjun appeared and asked, "Are we still going to the Buddha Kingdom as before?"

Exposing his tracks and pretending to go to the Buddhist country was done in order to hook the big fish Jiang Zhuyang and seize the Sun-Shooting Bow, but it is not entirely true to say that it was all just an act.

After killing Jiang Zhuyang, Jiang Li's next step was to go to Lingtai Mountain and find a way to resolve the threat of Taibai Zhenjun. Killing him was not necessary, after all, the Three Pure Ones of Daojun had also arrived in Yongzhou, not to mention that Taibai Zhenjun had also cultivated the Three Pure Ones, so it was not easy to kill him.

Jiang Li wanted to join forces with Sun Wukong to severely injure him and force him to retreat.

But now, all the enlightened ones have come out of retreat, and there is no point in dealing with Master Taibai anymore.

"'Jiang Li' will go to the Buddha Kingdom, but it's Yuanjun playing Jiang Li," Jiang Li looked at Yushi Yuanjun and said, "Yuanjun, can you do it?"

An inexplicable blush flashed across Yushi Yuanjun's face, and he said, "Okay."

Those who practiced the "Form Grave" had the ability to change their Dharmakaya, so it was easy for them to disguise themselves as others. However, if they wanted to be exactly like the person they were disguising themselves as, they had to work hard on their Qi, breath, and even their mind.

A true master doesn't just look at the appearance of a person.

Yu Shi Yuanjun couldn't do it originally, but now he can do it completely.

She already has a shape-borrowing talisman on her body, and she had done some things with Jiang before that were not to be told to outsiders. If she pretends to be Jiang Li, only a few people will be able to tell the real from the fake.

"Okay, then Yuanjun will disguise himself as me and wander around the Buddhist country, and I..."

Jiang Li's body shape changed, white hair grew, and he became a white-haired monkey wearing armor, "Go see Manjusri."

As soon as he finished speaking, he rode on a auspicious cloud and headed east.

······
······
Wei Tuo and Guangli, two Buddhist Bodhisattvas who were paddling in the Gobi Desert, also noticed the change. They looked at the spiral light column that they could still see even though it was thousands of miles away, and their faces changed from gloomy to bright.

"The chief monk has come out of retreat, what should we do?" Bodhisattva Guangli said, "The Great Sage has already appeared in Lingtai Mountain, Manjusri will probably get suspicious, not to mention that even if we go back, we can't turn into a Wuzhiqi."

It was difficult for the three of them to gain Manjusri's complete trust, and now with so many variables, it was impossible for Manjusri not to be suspicious.

When an undercover agent is suspected, he is basically close to losing his effectiveness. Even if he is not exposed, it will be difficult for him to obtain useful information or take useful actions, because the foundation of undercover is trust.

"The First Monk has come out of retreat, and the Karma Tathagata will also appear in the world. There may be chaos in the Buddha's kingdom."

Bodhisattva Weituo also showed a worried look, "Half of the six of us Bodhisattvas have traveled eastward, and the remaining three, Sunlight Bodhisattva, should still be in the Buddha Kingdom helping believers, and that Buddhist friend is in seclusion on the surface, but in fact he has been lurking in the Demon God Cult for many years. Now that Lingtai Mountain has changed, only Vajra Tibetan Bodhisattva and the Buddhist friend who turns the wheel are left."

The most important thing is that Vajrapani is Manjushri’s confidant.

In the past, Manjusri was on good terms with Linggan Temple. He was recommended by the previous abbot of the Tantric Buddhism, Vajrapani Bodhisattva, and entered the Buddhist kingdom. Later, Vajrapani Bodhisattva passed away because he could not endure the five turbidities of the world. Manjusri was promoted to the third rank and supported the next abbot to be promoted to the fourth rank, which is now Vajra Tibetan Bodhisattva.

It can be said that Manjusri and Linggan Temple share weal and woe and are the most solid allies. Some members of the Jiang family took refuge in the Buddhist country, which was provided by the Tantric Buddhism.

Now that the enlightened one has come out of retreat, in order to prevent the enlightened one from recalling Manjusri and others, Vajragarbha may just work without putting in any effort and allow the situation to deteriorate.

There is no way. Although the enlightened one can regain control of the Buddhist kingdom after coming out of retreat, who can blame Karma Tathagata for coming out as well?

The two Bodhisattvas thought about it, and finally Wei Tuo made the final decision: "Wait for the follow-up instructions from the First Seat."

In short, sit still and wait.

Previously, there had always been an enlightened person who used his divine thoughts to take shape and give instructions to the two. That person's divine thoughts could even project a physical form in Yongzhou, so it was easy to contact the two.

But now the Awakened One is busy exchanging fistfights with Karma Tathagata. When he has some free time, he will probably give instructions to the two of them.

So the two Bodhisattvas Wei Tuo and Guangli found a small hill and waited quietly in the shade.

They waited and waited, but instead of receiving any instructions from the enlightened one, they saw a ray of golden light.

The golden light streaked across the sky and fell to the ground. The auspicious clouds dissipated, and a white-haired monkey appeared, looking at the two of them.

"Great Sage?" they both shouted at the same time.

“Don’t call me the Great Sage, call me Buddha Friend Wuzhiqi.” The white-haired monkey corrected.

He seemed to have lost his previous monkey nature, and his every move and gesture became more human-like. He was quite similar to Wuzhiqi, whose demonic nature was gradually fading away.

Wei Tuo and Guangli only saw Sun Wukong when he had just revived, and they did not know much about him. They did not know that this monkey was truly a monkey. Even if he was in disguise, he could not help scratching his ears and cheeks.

Therefore, they had no doubts about the monkey in front of them.

"That white-haired bald donkey in your family intends to send you guys to lurk. As for the Buddha Kingdom, you don't need to worry about it." The monkey said. White hair? Bald donkey again?

The two of them didn't know whether to be shocked and angry at each other's disrespectful address, or to be entangled in the conflict between white hair and baldness.

But at least the other party proved his identity.

Knowing that the two were undercover agents meant that he had met the Awakened One and was credible. In other words, continuing to be a spy was indeed the Awakened One's order.

"So are we going back to Kunxu Mountain?" asked Bodhisattva Guangli.

"That's right," the white-haired monkey nodded, "Let's see what choice Manjusri will make."

Should we continue traveling eastward or return to the Buddha’s kingdom?

If it was the former, it meant that Manjusri was still intent on stealing and the situation was not completely out of control. If it was the latter, then it was Daojun's will and the situation was urgent.

Jiang Li not only needed to fight with Wenshu, Guanyin, Tan Wuwei and other strong men immediately, but also had to be on guard against Daojun's intervention. Even if Jiang Li had a secret weapon, it would be extremely difficult to stop the Buddhist country's eastward troops from returning.

"If that time comes, we can only think of a way to gather our forces and execute the beheading plan," Jiang Li thought secretly.

While he was thinking, Wei Tuo and Guangli looked at each other and nodded at the same time, saying, "We are willing to obey the order of the First Master."

Their original worries immediately faded away. The two of them had full confidence in the Awakener and had no intention of questioning the order at all.

Since the enlightened one has issued this order, it means that the Buddha’s kingdom is temporarily free from worries.

Jiang Li saw this clearly, and secretly sighed in his heart that realizing the vision of an enlightened being is harder than climbing to the sky.

The enlightened one's understanding of Buddhism is the way of enlightenment. Judging from his actions, he should let the people of the Buddha country practice Buddhism instead of worshiping Buddha. However, from what Jiang Li saw, even Wei Tuo and Guangli worshipped the enlightened one, let alone other people.

People always place their own unattainable visions on gods and Buddhas. There is only one person among millions who is as enlightened as the enlightened one. This is because when people are enlightened, they have the state of the enlightened one even if they do not have the fruit of the enlightened one.

How many people like this can there be throughout history?

"But it doesn't seem like that's something I need to worry about."

As Jiang Li was feeling emotional, he couldn't help but think, "I am just in the same position as the Awakened One, why should I worry about his vision? It's not like I want to be promoted to the second rank."

It can only be said that Jiang Li could not help but feel more emotional about what happened in the past few days, so much so that he began to have some unnecessary thoughts.

He collected his thoughts, nodded slightly to the two of them, and then rode on the cloud with them at the same time, heading towards Kunxu Mountain.

At this time, Tianxuan and the Queen had already fought to the west of Liangzhou, "Jiang Li" was wandering in the Buddhist country, and as for Taibai Zhenjun, he should still be around Lingtai Mountain. The three of them flew all the way, unimpeded, and without any surprises, they passed the Gobi Desert and grassland and could already see the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

It was already night, the hour of Xu, which was eight o'clock in the evening in Jiang Li's previous life. But the sky in the distance had not yet completely darkened, but was as bright as the dawn.

The night wind also brought a hint of dampness, as if it was at the seaside.

But in fact, it was because the snow near Kunxu Mountain was melting rapidly. The climate in spring suddenly turned to summer, and the snow in the Kunxu Mountains melted on a large scale, making the night wind humid.

"Jinwu, we are almost in Yongzhou." Jiang Li looked at the sky and roughly judged the situation.

A cultivator who has the Golden Crow Dao Fruit can't compare to a real Golden Crow, but even so, it is enough to change the climate of a state. The climate in Yongzhou is rapidly getting hotter, and even the Kunxu Mountains far away on the border are affected.

Jinwu has a huge impact on the climate.

While thinking, Jiang Li secretly increased his speed a little and arrived at a snowy peak first.

The snow and frost on the snow peak did not melt. Even in midsummer, the frost on the peaks of Kunxu Mountain would not melt. The frost covering the top of the peak had been there for thousands of years. Even if Jiang Li used the Golden Crow Transformation, it would be difficult to melt the frost and snow in a short time.

However, avalanches had already appeared between the mountains in the distance. The rapid melting of the snow caused the snow blocks to collapse, and large-scale avalanches were mixed with water.

Manjusri, Guanyin and Tan Wuwei stood on this snowy peak, facing the enemies on the distant mountains.

At this time, the face of Taoist Guangcheng in the distance should be solemn, because the arrival of Jinwu has made the situation take a sharp turn for the worse. As an enemy, Jinwu will not have any martial ethics. Compared with coming to Kunxu Mountain to participate in the battle, it is more cost-effective to go directly to Daxing County, the capital of Yongzhou.

Annihilating all the imperial armies would be enough to give the Buddhist kingdom an absolute upper hand.

But Manjusri and others might not look very happy either.

They had already learned the news that the Awakened One had come out of retreat. Manjusri, who was practicing the Gui Zang Yi, noticed this huge change almost as soon as the Awakened One and Karma Tathagata came out together.

If the enlightened one calls back the troops heading east, will Manjushri go back or not?

Even if Manjusri, Guanyin and others were determined to stay, the people below would definitely be affected.

It is even possible that the Awakened One and Karma Tathagata temporarily stopped exchanging fists with each other to exchange feelings with Manjusri and others.

Under such circumstances, the fact that the three third-grade masters were not sweating profusely shows that they had an extremely high state of mind.

The deterrent power of the strongest can only be clearly understood by a third-grade who has seen the strongest fight. To describe it with a simple equation, it is equivalent to Jiang Li fighting against an ordinary fourth-grade. Not to say one at a time, but almost the same.

The moment Jiang Li arrived, he noticed the concerns of Wenshu and the other two. His mind was full of thoughts, and a somewhat immoral idea unconsciously popped up in his mind.

"Manjushri Bodhisattva, may I have a word with you?" the white-haired monkey whispered.

The three third-grade masters who were calculating the situation looked at him at the same time, especially Manjusri, whose eyes showed a sunlight-like color, forming a golden ring around the pupils, making the pupils appear golden, as if there were two suns in the eyes.

"It concerns the enlightened one, and also the Tathagata of karma..."

Jiang Li's voice was low, and by the end, it had become a secret voice transmission, "This god has seen the true face of Ye Tathagata."

"Hmm?" Manjusri's eyes shone brightly.

At this moment, Manjusri keenly sensed the opportunity - an opportunity to break the impasse.

The other two third-rank masters also showed strange expressions.
