Mythology: Erlang Shen begins to show his divine power in the heavens

Chapter 104: Kill the Demon Lord, Suppress the Crane Immortal, and Save the Bodhisattva Vimala

"Since the True Lord wants to take back the Great Saint's root, I will agree. However, I may need to tell my senior brother about this first, so that he can also know.

Can you wait a moment longer, Master? I will send someone to call my brother over right away."

Zi Zhu'er said.

Lin Yuan nodded:
"can."

So Zi Zhu'er prepared to make arrangements.

But suddenly.

There was a boom.

The entire Pansi Cave shook violently.

It was like an earthquake, with a lot of rubble falling down and even the ground seemed to be cracking.

The Zhu sisters almost lost their balance and fell to the ground, but fortunately the tremor was only severe for a moment and the subsequent impact was not significant.

However, the other weaker goblins in the Spider Cave were all shaken to pieces and wailed loudly.

“Ouch—”

"What's going on? Earthquake?"

The Zhu sisters were shocked.

Lin Yuan raised his head, slightly opened the third eye on his forehead, and looked in the direction where the shock wave came from. Then an illusory divine light appeared, instantly penetrating through numerous obstacles, and he saw the source of the tremor.

He saw.

A place far away from Pansi Cave.

A mountain that might have been picturesque was almost collapsing at this moment, and in the sky, dark clouds were gathering. Bolts of lightning kept falling, and when they landed below, teams of heavenly soldiers and generals appeared and rushed into the mountain.

Deep in the mountains, there was Buddha's light shining, and the sound of roosters crowing was resounding, calling for rays of light like the sun, but all around them, a dazzling golden light shield imprisoned them like a cage.

In the golden cage, a strange man with a palm as his head was stepping on a thunder and fire wheel and holding a steel whip, attacking a robed Bodhisattva fiercely.

Next to it, there was a giant centipede lying there, seemingly seriously injured by the crowing of the rooster.

On the other side, countless heavenly soldiers and generals were constantly besieging a big rooster. Its body was already covered with wounds, and it was extremely weak after the previous roar.

High in the sky, an immortal with a crane head holding a whisk looked down coldly.

He seemed to have noticed something, looked over here, and frowned slightly.

"who is it?"

In the Pansi Cave.

Lin Yuan retracted his Heavenly Eye and raised his brows.

“I actually ran into this.”

He immediately stood up and said to Zi Zhu'er:
"You don't need to send anyone to Huanghua Temple to look for your brother. I have already found him. You wait here, I will be back soon."

After saying that, he took a step forward and disappeared on the spot.

The Zhu sisters and Zi Zhu'er looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Mother, the True Lord said earlier that the Great Saint's root is in your body, but it will devour your life essence. This seems to be different from what Uncle Master said at the beginning, right?"

The second sister of the Zhu family spoke.

At that time, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord took the Great Sage's root and placed it in Zi Zhu'er's body, but he told her that with the Great Sage's root, Zi Zhu'er could live longer and wait until the day she met Zhu Bajie.

Zi Zhu'er didn't think much about it. After all, he was her senior brother and she thought he would not harm her, so she accepted the Great Sage's aptitude.

Purple Spider said:

“I don’t think my senior brother would lie to me, but it seems unnecessary for Zhenjun to lie to me. However, after the Great Saint’s roots merged into my body, I did feel changes in my body.

But that changes.”

She thought that she seemed to dream about the unfaithful man all day long.

Ever since she had acquired the talent of a great sage, somehow, her longing for that unfaithful man grew stronger day by day, to the point of torturing her to the point of collapse.

This
This is obviously the effect of the great sage's root capacity - the tongue's tasting and thinking.

The great sage has extraordinary aptitude.

If one's cultivation is insufficient and is contaminated, one will torture oneself, and if one tries to refine it by force, one may even go crazy.

The reason why the black bear spirit is clever is that he is the only one who has not been touched or refined forcibly, thus preserving his nature and not causing himself to suffer.

On the original track.

Like the Yellow Wind Monster, who used Lingji's head to refine himself and became crazy.

Huang Mei was easy to deal with. He put his roots into the human race bag and was not affected much. But the others, Kang Jinlong, who was put into the human race bag, became stupid and foolish, and his temperament changed drastically under the influence of Bi Xiu Ai.

As for Zi Zhu'er, she was just used by the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord as a container for her root, but even so, her root still tortured her, making her desire deepen and even unable to extricate herself.

It was even more obvious with the Bull Demon King. He used himself as a container and did not try to refine it, which made him increasingly weaker.

In fact, the original Yang Jian was the same.

The Heavenly Eye contains the Great Sage’s most important mind.

The pain he endured was several times or even dozens of times more than that of the other demon kings.

Otherwise he wouldn't have said:
"I know better than you how hard it is to bear his will."

but.

Things were different after Lin Yuan came.

Although the mind root still flourishes in his divine eye.

But it didn't affect him at all.

This is the difference in strength, but also because of Lin Yuan's Sky Eye
The nature is too powerful.

"Forget it. Anyway, I trust your uncle more."

Zi Zhu'er said with a slightly unnatural look.

The eldest sister of the Zhu family saw something and patted her on the back gently.
"No matter what, this thing will be taken away by the True Lord, and it will have nothing to do with us in the future. I think Master Uncle will not dare to disobey the True Lord's will."

Zi Zhu'er nodded.

Ziyun Mountain.

Obviously.

The scene that Lin Yuan saw was the people in the Heavenly Court and the Hundred-Eyed Demon King joining forces to deal with the Bodhisattva Vimala and the Pleiades star official.

"Viramā Bodhisattva, I will give you one last chance. If you take this Delusion Pill, I can let you go. But if you still resist...
Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After sensing the previous prying intention, Crane Immortal flew directly into the golden light shield and looked at Vimala Bodhisattva who was suppressed by Wang Lingguan.

In fact, with the strength of Bodhisattva Vimala, he would not be suppressed so badly by Wang Lingguan in a one-on-one situation.

But unfortunately, she had to be distracted to protect her son, and she had suffered some conspiracy before, which led to this situation.

Bodhisattva Vimala raised his hand and glared at Crane Hermit:
"Don't even think about it! I would rather die than fall like you!"

The Crane Immortal laughed and said:
"Then can you watch your child being killed or even turned into a puppet?"

Bodhisattva Vimala said:

"What's wrong with death? If you can't get your true heart, death is also a liberation! When the world is clear and the Jade Emperor is restored, you will all be punished! And the child and I will both return to Nirvana!"

The Crane Immortal continued to smile and said:
"You are right, but even if we are liquidated, we will only lose our delusions and return to our original nature. The Jade Emperor will not execute us all. Even if he punishes us, it is estimated that he will only reduce our freedom."

"Look, in the final analysis, we don't have to suffer any torture anyway. Instead, we can enjoy ourselves for a while now. Isn't that good?"

"Viramā Bodhisattva, I respect your profound cultivation, but you must also know that following desire is the right path for this world!"

"And how do you know, Bodhisattva, that the Jade Emperor didn't do this on purpose? Maybe he wants to indulge himself for a while. By the time he doesn't want to indulge himself anymore, the world will have been ruined."

"He would then suppress his delusions and say that he was awake and wanted to make the world clear."

Bodhisattva Vimala rebuked:
"You are making groundless speculations about the Jade Emperor. On the day of Qingming Festival, I will report it to the Jade Emperor and have you banished to the underworld forever, with no chance of reincarnation!"

The Crane Immortal's face darkened:
"It seems that the Bodhisattva is determined to resist to the end today, so don't blame me for being merciless! After you die, I will cut you into pieces and use you well."

"After all, there are very few people like you who practice both Buddhism and Taoism in this world. Who knows if you can make any good pills!"

After saying this, he waved his whisk, and immediately the whisk seemed to turn into thousands of white steel needles, piercing down and heading straight towards Vimalakirti Bodhisattva.

Wang Lingguan also held down the Bodhisattva Vimala at the right time, making it difficult for him to move.

Bodhisattva Vimala struggled hard, but she had already consumed too much energy and could not break free for a while.

Seeing that the whisk was like a sky full of white golden needles piercing down, as if it were a thousand arrows piercing her heart, but the next moment.

There was a flash of sword light.

Then a crescent-shaped sword energy swept over, and wherever it passed, the golden light shield collapsed, countless heavenly soldiers were annihilated, and the whisk also disintegrated inch by inch.

The sword energy went straight towards Wang Lingguan again. His body tensed and he felt a huge sense of crisis. He quickly let go of Vimala Bodhisattva, flapped his wings, and flew straight into the sky to hide away.

"Who?!"

"Who dares to interfere in the affairs of my Heavenly Palace?!"

"Are you looking for death?!"

Crane Hermit was shocked and angry, looking into the distance.

Over there, a figure walked out from the thunder, holding a sword in one hand, dressed in fluttering white clothes, with an extraordinary temperament, like a peerless sword immortal.

But, its appearance
When He Xianren saw it clearly, his pupils shrank:
"Master Erlang?!"

Lin Yuan took another step forward, came to above them, and looked down at them:
"Now that you have seen the True Lord, why don't you bow?"

hum!
A terrifying force came crashing down.

It was as if towering mountains were collapsing and the sky was falling. The enormous pressure instantly pinned everyone except Vimala Bodhisattva and the Pleiades star official to the ground, making them unable to move.

This was the first time that Lin Yuan released his power and might with all his strength.

He was unreserved, and poured out his pressure with an aura that seemed even greater than that of the Western Paradise Buddha and the Supreme Taoist Patriarch.

In an instant.

The whole world seemed to come to a standstill.

The space seemed to be caught in a strange fluctuation, as if it could not bear it and would collapse at any time.

But Lin Yuan's control over strength was very good. This momentum, which was enough to crush a mountain in an instant, did not affect the Ziyun Mountain below in the slightest. It was only used to deal with the group of heavenly soldiers and generals, as well as the Crane Immortal Wang Lingguan and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

"what!"

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, who had fainted after being shouted at by the Pleiades star official, now felt the pressure. All of his internal organs seemed to shift, and he woke up in pain.

He wailed and looked up at the sky, where he saw a tall figure with his back to the sun, leaving only a shadow, and fear in his eyes.

"With this kind of momentum, are you really Erlang Zhenjun?!"

Crane Hermit fell straight to the ground. Although the oppressive force of this aura was extremely strong and affected him, he was strong after all and could still resist a little and was not completely unable to move.

He stood up tremblingly and looked at Lin Yuan with disbelief in his eyes:

"How can Master Erlang have such terrifying strength?!"

In his opinion, the strength represented by this aura may be no less than that of his master, Taishang Laojun!
Wang Lingguan was also struggling to stand up at this time, his head was formed by the palm of the Jade Emperor.

But in Lin Yuan's view, that palm was just like Lingji's head before, filled with the aura of delusion.

Did the Jade Emperor gather all his delusions into his hand and cut it off for Wang Lingguan to bear, or was there some other reason?
Lin Yuan didn't think about it carefully for the time being. He just looked down indifferently and said slowly:

"Who ordered you to surround and kill the Pleiades star official and Vimala Bodhisattva? Don't you know that they are from the Heavenly Palace and Lingshan? Explain yourself quickly, otherwise..."

"I will execute you on the spot as a warning to others!"

Crane Immortal clasped his hands and said:
“Reporting to the True Lord, we are here on the orders of the Lord Lao. Bodhisattva Vilampo is from Lingshan, but she stole the Lord Lao’s heavenly book to practice. Such behavior angered the Lord Lao and the Buddha of Lingshan, so they ordered us to kill her.

As for the Pleiades star official, the True Lord has not been to heaven these days, so he may not know that the Pleiades star official has not been to heaven to fulfill his duties for a long time. This kind of behavior deserves death!"

As he spoke, he took out another gourd, held it in his hand, and smiled at Lin Yuan:

"True Lord, I just happen to have a gourd of elixirs made by Laojun, which can prolong life and increase cultivation. It is very useful whether you use it yourself or give it to your subordinates."

Lin Yuan ignored his blatant bribe and turned to look at Bodhisattva Vimala and said:
"Do you agree with what the Crane Immortal said?"

When Bodhisattva Vimala saw that Lin Yuan seemed to be really here to uphold justice, he remembered some rumors.

Rumor has it.

Although most of the gods and Buddhas in the sky are controlled by their delusions, there are some who always stick to their original intentions, and Erlang Shen is the best among them.

He only obeys orders and not announcements because he doesn't want to get involved in the filth in the Heavenly Palace.

However, due to his identity as the Jade Emperor's nephew, the gods and Buddhas could not intervene without sufficient reasons. They could only rely on the method of regularly handing over demons to the Jade Emperor when he was influenced by his delusional mind to slowly corrupt Erlang Shen.

At the beginning, Erlang Shen was actually very resistant to this and just killed monsters everywhere to fill his share.

But gradually, the demons were either killed or kept in captivity by other gods and Buddhas.

He was unable to find suitable demons to kill, so he could only keep the demons in captivity at Guanjiangkou.

In this way, he was able to meet the requirements of Heaven, but at the same time his original intentions were successfully influenced. Later, he agreed to the requirements of Heaven, surrounded and killed the Monkey King, and completely became a running dog of Heaven!

But now it seems that Erlang Shen has not really been affected.

And just been enduring it?

Now, let's look at its strength.
It seems that you have been patient enough and can come as you please?
Thinking of this, Bodhisattva Vimala said:

"What he said is just an excuse, my dear. I know your heart has not changed. You are doing this now because you are worried about angering the Heavenly Court, but there is no need to do this."

"My dear, you are the nephew of the Jade Emperor. So what if you killed the Crane Immortal and Wang Lingguan?"

Hearing this, the Crane Immortal was immediately shocked and angry:
"Shut up! What are you talking about? Do you want to harm Zhenjun?!"

He looked at Lin Yuan again:

"True Lord, everything I said is true, but this person has ulterior motives. He actually wants you to bear the blame for killing your colleagues in the Heavenly Court. He should be killed!"

They are all gambling.

Bodhisattva Vimala bet that Lin Yuan's original mind was pure, while Hermit Crane bet that Lin Yuan still had some delusions in his mind and was afraid of the Heavenly Court.

But obviously, Hermit Crane was destined to lose the bet.

Lin Yuan slowly raised the sword in his hand, and slashed it lightly. Then a terrifying sword energy splashed out and headed straight towards the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

Chi Chi Chi!
In an instant, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord was hacked to death.

Crane Immortal was suddenly horrified. He looked at Lin Yuan and said in disbelief:
"you you."

The Taia Sword pointed at the Crane Immortal again, and Lin Yuan said coldly:
"He Immortal, Wang Lingguan, do you want to tie your own hands and feet, or do you want me to chop them off?"
