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

Chapter 97, Black Wind Mountain, Encountering Bodhi, Capturing Black Bear
the other side.

Yuanhuang's Dharma body has arrived at Black Wind Mountain.

From a distance, he saw a huge black bear demon commanding a group of little demons and building something.

"Is this the reconstruction of the Guanyin Temple?"

He released his divine consciousness again, and soon discovered the Great Saint's Root on a pagoda on the top of a mountain.

"This black bear demon is actually quite clever. He didn't try to refine his roots, but just left it here for the little demons to admire and attract more little demons to join him."

The black bear demon said that he did not have the ability to refine his roots.

But
Is he really incapable of refining it?
Perhaps he just knew that there would be many bad consequences after refining it, so he did not refine it, but just used it to make money.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to ignore the black bear demon for the time being and take back the Great Sage's root first.

A drifting breath suddenly emerged from afar.

Lin Yuan looked over.

Suddenly, I saw a man with white hair and beard, holding a whisk, and looking like an immortal.

Lin Yuan actually felt that man's aura was unfathomable, as if it was no less than that of Maitreya Buddha.

The old Taoist also discovered Lin Yuan, changed direction, and headed straight for the hill where he was standing.

Stopping beside Lin Yuan, the old Taoist bowed and said:
"What a coincidence, I'm lucky enough to meet the True Lord here as well."

"you know me?"

"Who doesn't know the name of Zhenjun? Although Zhenjun is now dressed like a Taoist priest or a banished immortal, his appearance has not changed. I think there are not many people in this world who dare to turn into Zhenjun casually."

The old Taoist said.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly:

"Are you the monkey's master, Bodhi Patriarch?"

The old Taoist's pupils shrank slightly, and he smiled calmly:

"Master Bodhi? Who is this? I am just a wandering cultivator. How can I be the master of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?"

"The Great Sage Equaling Heaven was very powerful. Although he ended up like this, he at least became a Buddha. I am not worthy of this title. Please don't joke with me, Master."

Lin Yuan did not expose him directly, but just said:
"Ordinary monks wouldn't dare to get so close to me when they see me."

The old Taoist laughed and said:

"The name of the True Lord is well-known. I am lucky enough to see him, so I naturally want to get closer to him."

Lin Yuan waved his hand:

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, Bodhi, I know who you are, and you don't need to pretend in front of me. I came here to get back the monkey's roots, and you came here."

"Do you want to pass down a few techniques so that future people with destiny can have an easier journey?"

The old Taoist's face suddenly revealed an expression of astonishment that he could not conceal. Having said that, there was no need for him to continue pretending.

He said doubtfully:

"How did the True Lord know my identity?"

Lin Yuan pointed to his own Heavenly Eye:

"The monkey's mind is in my divine eye."

Patriarch Bodhi was startled:
"Mind root? Hasn't Wukong's mind root entered samsara?"

Lin Yuan laughed:
"That was just my words to deceive Heaven and Lingshan."

Patriarch Bodhi said solemnly:
“How many people have you told this to?”

Lin Yuan said:
"Do I look so unreliable that I would spread the news that the monkey had an intention on me?"

Patriarch Bodhi looked at him and said nothing.

Lin Yuan's face darkened:
"Don't worry, I have only told you and Maitreya Buddha that you are all people who can be trusted."

Patriarch Bodhi nodded with confidence:

"The Buddha from the East has always been seeking a clear and peaceful world. Although he has some calculations of his own in private, at least for now, he is trustworthy."

He then said to Lin Yuan:

"But the True Lord clearly dispersed Wukong's five roots before, why are you trying to take them back today?"

Lin Yuan said:
"The plan has changed. I gave up the original plan and am going to start a new one. By the way, the Buddha from the East is also involved in this plan. I wonder if Patriarch Bodhi is interested in participating?"

Patriarch Bodhi asked:
"what's the plan?"

Lin Yuan then expressed his idea of ​​purifying the world.

Patriarch Bodhi immediately frowned and began to calculate carefully.

After a long time, he said:

“This road is full of dangers and difficulties. With the strength of the True Lord in the past, it would have been impossible to make it. But since the Buddha from the East has approved of it, I think he really saw some hope of success in the True Lord.

I am also curious about the pure land you have opened up in Guanjiangkou. When I have time in the future, I will go and see it and make a decision. "

Lin Yuan said:
"No problem. I'm at your service anytime."

Patriarch Bodhi nodded and said:
"Since you are so confident, I feel more at ease. But, why did you take back Wukong's roots? Do you want to revive Wukong?"

Lin Yuan nodded:
"That's right. There's no need to wait for some destiny. It will be easy to revive the monkey and use his name to recruit various demon kings. When the time comes, the monkey and other demons will rebel against the heaven, and I will win the hearts of the people on earth.

It won’t take long before we can accumulate enough anti-heaven power to wipe out the world in one fell swoop! "

After hearing this, Bodhi Patriarch was silent for a moment, and then said:
"Although the idea is good, I'm afraid it's not that easy to implement."

"How to say?"

“You should know that Wukong died of his own accord. How difficult is it to revive him by gathering all six senses and even adding his shed body?
After all, his original intention was to use his death to awaken the resistance sentiment of the people of the world.

Patriarch Bodhi said.

Lin Yuan said:
"With all six roots and the monkey's remains, there will naturally be a way to revive. As for whether it is difficult or not, we will talk about it later. If you are hesitant, how many things in this world can be accomplished?!" "."

Patriarch Bodhi was silent.

He sighed again and said:

“I didn’t expect that Zhenjun would be more active than me as a master, but it seems that I don’t care much.

In this case, Master Zhenjun, go and collect the six senses first. I will go back and study carefully how to use Wukong's six senses to revive him."

He seemed to be infected by Lin Yuan's confidence, and no longer talked about any difficulties, but was ready to accompany Lin Yuan to give it a try.

Lin Yuan smiled:
"That's right. What's the point of clearing up the world if I'm the only one doing it? Only when all knowledgeable people get involved can the new world we open up be better!"

Patriarch Bodhi folded his hands:

"I admire your generosity."

"Then I will take my leave for now. I came here just as the True Lord expected. I want to use the land of this place to teach the future destiny man a spell, so as to help him overcome the difficulties."

“But now that I don’t need to wait for any destiny, I don’t need to look for land anymore. I just need to go back and study the method of reviving Wukong.

After you have taken back the five roots, you can go to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain in Xiniu Hezhou to find me."

Lin Yuan waved his hand:

"Go."

Patriarch Bodhi turned into a ray of clear light and disappeared into the distance.

Lin Yuan came to the top of the pagoda and waved his hand. The great sage named Yan Jianxi transformed into a double-headed bird and was caught in his hand.

When his roots were taken away, the Black Wind King, who was commanding the little demons to rebuild the Guanyin Temple at the foot of the mountain, suddenly felt something.

He immediately said angrily:

"Who is this blind rascal who dares to touch my things? Are you looking for death?!"

The wind suddenly picked up.

He turned into a gust of black wind and soared into the air, quickly heading towards the top of the mountain.

When he arrived at the pagoda, he saw from afar a man in white clothes who looked like a banished immortal playing with the Chongming bird that was transformed from the Great Sage's root. He immediately became even angrier and shouted:
"Hey! Where did you come from, you monster! How dare you touch your grandfather's things! Put them down immediately! Otherwise, grandpa will make you pay!"

Lin Yuan turned his head and looked.

When the black bear demon saw the appearance clearly, his whole body, which had turned into black smoke, began to tremble and twist.

He quickly transformed into a bald, rough-looking monk, his face was extremely horrified, and his tone softened instantly:
"So it's the True Lord who has come. Please forgive me for being blind and not recognizing his true appearance!"

Lin Yuan smiled:

"You feel good when you scold me?"

Snapped!
The black bear demon decisively slapped himself hard in the face and said:
"I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Please forgive me, Master. I really didn't know it was you who came to visit me!"

Lin Yuan said:
"If you want me to spare you, it's very simple. From now on, go to Guanjiangkou and be the river guardian god in front of my mansion."

The black bear was stunned:
"But I have been accepted by Bodhisattva Guanyin as the guardian deity of Luojia Mountain. How can I serve under the seat of Zhenjun again?"

He was a little confused about Lin Yuan's thoughts.

Lin Yuan said nonchalantly:

"So what? If Guanyin dares to cause trouble, just beat him back."

As he spoke, a long sword appeared in his hand, and a sharp aura that seemed to cut through the heaven and earth emerged, making the black bear demon's skin seem to hurt all over.

"I just ask you, do you agree or not?"

The threat of death hung over Black Bear's mind, and he began to tremble all over.

What kind of business is this?
I finally managed to get out here, but ended up encountering this situation.

This Erlang Shen.

Are you crazy too?
I'm already a subordinate of Guanyin, but he still wants me to do something like guarding the river with him?
Isn't this a slap in the face of Guanyin?
He really couldn't understand it.

The sword intent became more and more solid, and the black bear demon could almost see the materialized edge with his naked eyes. It was aimed at him, like an arrow on a bowstring, ready to be fired at any moment.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Finally, he half-knelt in the air:
"I submit! I submit! True Lord! From now on, I am the Great God Guardian of the River, but..."

The black bear demon pointed at his forehead, and immediately a restraining hoop appeared.

"I am controlled by this restraint. If Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara knew that I had defected to the True Lord, I'm afraid she would chant a spell and turn me into thick water!"

Lin Yuan said:

"That's fine. Then you can follow me to Luojia Mountain and find Guanyin to remove this restraining hoop."

"???"

The black bear demon was stunned.

You want to take me in by force, and you have to take the initiative to go to the owner and ask him to give you his things?

Is Erlang Shen really crazy?

"This"

He hesitated.

After following Lin Yuan back to Luojia Mountain, he didn’t know about other things, but his hard-earned freedom was definitely gone.

Once Lin Yuan succeeds, he will have to go to Guanjiangkou.

If it doesn't work, Guanyin will make him stay in Luojia Mountain.
He felt that he was extremely unlucky today.

Lin Yuan did not give him a chance to express his opinion. He simply waved his hand, turned around and said:
"Let's go. I just want to see how Guanyin is doing now!"
