The Counterattack of the Villains

After three months of delay in the mountains, the Tomb-Sweeping Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival have long passed, and the story of the White Snake has ended before it even begins.

Nowadays, Bai Suzhen is devoted to studying Buddhism and achieving enlightenment. Although her interest in being a human being is still undiminished, she has also given up her desire to experience the love of mortals.

When they came out of the mountain, it was raining heavily within a hundred miles of Hangzhou, and it had been raining for nine days and nine nights.

With this approach, there was no doubt that a flood occurred here. The Qiantang River set off huge waves several feet high, mercilessly impacting everything on the ground.

The city of Hangzhou has been turned into a marsh, with countless houses destroyed by floods and countless people struggling and wailing in the floods.

Bai Suzhen, who was flying in the sky, saw that when the flood came, the adults immersed themselves in the water, made boats with bathtubs, barrels, etc., put the children in them, and protected them with all their lives to move to higher ground.

Occasionally, a whirlpool will roll up in the flood, sucking adults in and disappearing without a trace.

Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, and Zhizhu looked at each other with unbearable eyes. Bai Suzhen said to Li Mu, who was frowning: "Master, let's go and save people! If we can't save people first, we can't cure the water!"

With the current situation, the only way to eliminate the floods in a short time is to forcefully split the earth and let the floods flow into the underground water veins and into the East China Sea.

This is equivalent to creating a super sewer, but if the people are not rescued first, the super sewer will inevitably swallow the people together.

Li Mu came back to his senses and glanced coldly in the direction of Qiantang River. He didn't do anything for the time being. The top priority was to save people first.

"Okay, in a moment you will be responsible for rescuing the people in the water and placing them on the magic weapon that I have sacrificed."

"Send all the people to a stable roof or city wall first, and wait until the flood is controlled before worrying about it."

After listening to Li Mu's arrangement, Bai Suzhen and others all said "yes".

Li Mu immediately waved his hand, and the cassock stored in the storage space flew out.

The cassocks swelled up in the wind and instantly became overwhelming. The bright red cassocks reflected the whole earth in red.

"Go quickly."

Following Li Mu's order, Bai Suzhen and others immediately dispersed, rescued the people who fell into the water one by one, and threw them into their cassocks.

Today, Bai Suzhen is wearing a plain silk skirt, her long hair is tied into a butterfly bun on her head, and she is tied with a white gauze. She looks like the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the portrait.

When the people who fell into the water saw what she had done, they all shouted with joy: "Guanyin Bodhisattva has appeared to save us!"

"Namo the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Listening to the shouts of the common people, Li Mu frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

Bai Suzhen is not doing evil, but doing good. It is a great good thing that the people praise the Bodhisattva and contribute their faith to her.

Moreover, Bai Suzhen herself did not say that she was Guanyin Bodhisattva. She just misidentified her. There was no impersonation, and she did not owe the Bodhisattva any karma.

On the contrary, it should be a good cause.

Xiaoqing's style is similar to Bai Suzhen's. The only difference is that she wears a cyan silk skirt and has a green gauze on her head.

Although the people did not mistake her for Guanyin Bodhisattva, but she rescued people together with Guanyin Bodhisattva, she must be another Bodhisattva.

Therefore, the people shouted "Bodhisattva's mercy" to Xiaoqing.

As for the young monk Zhizhu, like Li Mu, he was dressed in white monk robes and had a bald head, so he was not mistaken by the people for any god or Buddha.

However, Bai Suzhen still felt a little guilty, so she explained to the people that she was not Guanyin Bodhisattva, but just a follower of Bodhisattva.

On the contrary, Xiaoqing, because he didn't understand the truth behind it, felt quite proud when he heard the people calling him Bodhisattva and bowed to him.

Li Mu drove his cassock flying around. In addition to Bai Suzhen and the other two people throwing the rescued people up, he also used his magic power to take pictures of the people in the water.

Thousands of people were soon carried on the huge cassocks.

The common people looked at the back of Li Mu standing in front of the cassock, turned over and knelt down one after another, kowtowed and said, "Thank the Living Buddha for saving his life."

With the great power that Li Mu displayed and the things he did, it is not an exaggeration to call him a Living Buddha.

Therefore, he did not explain it and accepted the title of Living Buddha by default.

When the number of people on the cassocks reached a certain level, Li Mu sent them to the city wall, and then drove the cassocks to continue rescuing people.

Hangzhou has a population of about 200,000, but even if the four city walls are full, they can only accommodate 20,000 to 30,000 people.

Even excluding the people who died in the flood, the area of ​​​​the city wall is far from enough.

So after there was no room for anyone to stand on the city wall, Li Mu had no choice but to move the people who were rescued to the roofs of more stable houses.

Li Mu exhaled and shouted, his voice rolling like thunder, which instantly spread throughout the city: "Dear citizens of Hangzhou, I am Fahai, the abbot of Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang."

"Please hold on for a while. Once all the people who have fallen into the water have been rescued, I and the two guardians will use magic to control the flood and help everyone restore their homes."

The people in Hangzhou who were saved knelt down and said, "Thank you very much, Living Buddha Fahai, for your mercy."

Nearly an hour later, Li Mu's spiritual consciousness scanned and saw that there were no people who had fallen into the water in Hangzhou City. Even if there were any, there was no rescue value because they had all turned into corpses.

"Xiao Bai, Xiao Qing, I will go outside the city to crack the earth and connect it to the underground water veins. You will drain the flood out of the city."

Bai Suzhen said worriedly: "Master, it's raining heavily in the sky and the waves in the Qiantang River are rough. I'm afraid that just discharging the floods will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause!"

Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will take care of the source of the flood. You can rest assured that the flood will be released immediately."

"yes."

Li Mu took back his cassock, turned around and turned into a ray of light and swept outside the city. He said loudly: "Natural disasters are inevitable for all mortals, but I, the Buddha, are merciful. I am here to eliminate your bad luck. I hope you will do more good deeds in the future.

Only by accumulating merit extensively can disasters be eliminated and resolved."

The sound resounded throughout the city of Hangzhou and attracted a burst of worship from the people of Hangzhou.

"The Living Buddha is merciful, and we must do good deeds and accumulate virtue to repay the Living Buddha for his life-saving grace."

"Amitabha, good, good, good."

Li Muheshi announced the name of the Buddha, then his hand movements changed, and he chanted the mantra in his mouth: "The spring of nectar washes away evil and filth, the light sprinkling of poplar branches disperses the sorrow, I recite the mantra now, it is clean and thorough, and it is separated."

As Li Mu chanted a mantra, a wide and deep crack opened in the earth. The flood immediately sank, and the water level dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Inside the city, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing worked together to cast spells to control the floods in all parts of the city and flow out along the city gates.

Zhizhu lacked mana and had no relevant innate magical powers, so he could only stand aside and watch.

Xiao Qing looked in the direction of Li Mu and praised: "Sister, the mage is really powerful. How long do we need to practice before we can have this ability?"

Bai Suzhen sighed and shook her head, saying: "It's impossible. Master has reached the state of unity between Buddha and me and is already a living Buddha."

Xiao Qing looked at Li Mu's figure emitting golden light from a distance, and said with blurred eyes: "I wonder if he still has seven emotions and six desires?"

Bai Suzhen was startled and quickly warned: "Xiaoqing, Master is the living Buddha of the current world. He seems to be a human being, but in fact he is already a Buddha. He has no human feelings. You must not do anything wrong."

Xiaoqing tapped the corner of her mouth with her index finger, a charming smile appeared on her face, and said: "Not necessarily, even the gods in the sky will sometimes be moved by mortal hearts. I don't believe that mages really have no feelings."

Bai Suzhen opened her mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say. She was sure that the Master was a living Buddha.

It stands to reason that the Buddha should not have the emotions of ordinary people. If he still had the emotions of ordinary people, he would not be able to cultivate such a profound realm of Buddhism.

But the mage's daily words and deeds did not seem to be completely devoid of human emotions, which made her feel very strange.

Since Xiaoqing has an idea, it doesn't hurt to let her try it. The mage shouldn't be angry.

While the two sisters were thinking about making something happen, something happened on Li Mu's side.

Just when Li Mu left the land to release the flood and the water level dropped a lot, he suddenly felt that there was a pressure from the sky pressing towards him.

Li Mu looked up at the dark clouds in the sky ahead, a look of contempt flashing in his eyes.

Even a mere true immortal dared to show off in front of him and seek death.

I was about to go find you, but you sent me to my door yourself first.

"Who is this monk? How dare you prevent this king from casting a spell?"

Following this majestic shout, a figure carrying a dragon's head descended from the clouds and stopped diagonally above Li Mu, looking down at him.

Li Mu, who was originally sitting cross-legged in mid-air, slowly stood up, looked up at the figure with a dragon head, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is your Excellency? Why are you making trouble here?"

"I am the Dragon King of Qiantang River, who are you? Dare to interfere in my king's business?"

"I am the abbot of Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, Fa Hai." Li Mu clasped his palms together, and first announced his home address, and then asked: "As the Dragon King of Qiantang River, you not only fail to ensure smooth weather here, but also stir up trouble and cause floods. How is it that?

"

The Dragon King of Qiantang River glared and said in a serious voice: "Little monk, are you questioning me?"

Hearing this, Li Mu rose up until he was diagonally above the Dragon King in the Qiantang River. Then he turned to look down at him and said coldly: "What, you can't question me?"

The Dragon King of Qiantang River was furious and shouted: "How brave, a mere mortal monk, how dare you... uh... you... you..."

Before he finished speaking, the anger on his face instantly turned into shock, because while he was speaking, a terrifying aura like the heavens burst out from Li Mu and pressed towards him.

Even his immediate boss, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, had such momentum, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea was at the peak of the Golden Immortal level. Doesn't this mean...

Li Mu looked at the Dragon King of Qiantang River with a serious look, and said slowly: "I ask you again, why are you making trouble here?"

The Dragon King of Qiantang River broke out in cold sweat on his vest, but he still did not give up because he was following orders.

"The people of Hangzhou do not respect heaven, do not respect immortals and gods, and do not sacrifice to the Dragon King. I, on the orders of heaven, have sent down the heavenly punishment here and caused the Half-Moon Flood."

"It has been nine days now, and Hangzhou will be flooded for another six days to complete the disaster. Master, please think carefully. If you hinder this, you will be acting against heaven."

Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment of pondering, he understood what was going on.

After the calamity of traveling to the west, Buddhism spread eastward and Buddhism flourished. Temples were built all over the southern continent to worship Buddha and Bodhisattva, especially in the extremely wealthy Jiangnan area.

There is the Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang in Suzhou, and there is the Lingyin Temple in the West Lake in Hangzhou. Both have eminent monks who solve problems for the people, eliminate disasters, and firmly hold on to the incense faith in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Heaven was naturally dissatisfied when the people went to temples to worship Buddha and Bodhisattva and showed no respect to the gods of Heaven, so they sent disasters to show the majesty of Heaven to mortals.

To put it bluntly, this is a battle of faith.

Heaven governs the three realms, controls the misfortunes and blessings of the mortal world, and wants to manipulate the common people in the mortal world. Even the Tathagata cannot say anything.

Such angry behavior really made Li Mu feel disgusted.

Especially the behavior of treating mortals like ants, causing natural disasters and killing countless mortals, made Li Mu hate him endlessly.

If you want to compete with Buddhism for faith in heaven, then you should clearly show the opposition between horses and horses, and send out many immortals and gods to appear in order to eliminate disasters for the people, win the people's offerings, and gain the power of incense and vows.

But you don't want to do anything, and you want to enjoy the incense. If you don't give the incense, you will avoid disaster. What's the difference between this and a gangster charging protection money?

This isn't heaven, it's just a gang of underworld.

In fact, Li Mu could roughly guess why this happened.

In the final analysis, it is the reason for the solidification of class.

The gods in heaven have basically not been touched since they were declared gods to measure the calamity. The gods all have endless lifespans and no room for advancement. Coupled with the strict constraints of heaven, they naturally have no motivation, and they just lie there one by one.

flat.

Heaven has almost become a pool of stagnant water, and the gods no longer want to listen to the prayers of mortals, solve their problems, and eliminate disasters.

But he doesn't want to give up the power of incense and incense to improve his cultivation just by lying down. That's why the heaven becomes like this from top to bottom.

This is also the origin of the phrase "God has no eyes". Isn't it true that we have entered an era where God has no eyes?

Of course, this does not mean that all gods are like this. There are also a handful of gods who do not devote themselves to incense, but only protect the common people in the world, and they are still persisting.

It's a pity that such gods are only a minority after all and have little impact on the overall environment.

If you want to change the general environment and make the gods of heaven "alive" again, either there will be a catastrophe of heaven and earth, and a large number of high-ranking gods will die.

Either the laws of heaven have changed and the many constraints on the gods have been relaxed, allowing them to see the joy of divine life.

However, these problems are beyond the control of Li Mu, the little Taiyi Golden Immortal. The most he can do is take care of what he encounters.

Anyway, he didn't intend to play around with Buddhism. He always sat upright and did whatever he wanted.

Since he has replaced a Buddhist man this time, he will firmly stand on the Buddhist side. As long as he acts according to his own will and has a clear conscience, there will be no problems.

What's more, in his opinion, the Buddhist background is quite reliable.

Li Mu wanted to understand everything in a moment, raised his eyelids and looked at the Dragon King of Qiantang River again.

When Li Mu fell into deep thought, the Qiantang River Dragon King did not urge him, but unconsciously, his waist straightened up again.

No matter how powerful you are and how powerful you are, you still have to give in before the Heavenly Court. After all, the ruler of the three realms is the Jade Emperor, not the Tathagata of the West.

Seeing Li Mu looking at him again at this time, the Dragon King of Qiantang River asked: "Have you thought about it, Master?"

Li Muhe said: "Amitabha, can the Dragon King look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face, so as to give me Buddha Tathagata a face and let this matter go?"

The Dragon King of Qiantang River said flatly: "This is the decree issued by the Heavenly Court, which is also the destiny of heaven. I forgive you for not obeying it."

Li Mu's eyes darkened and he said, "So, you don't want to give me Buddha's face?"

The Dragon King of Qiantang River refused to give in: "If I don't want to, I really can't. If I..."

Before the Dragon King of Qiantang River could finish his words, Li Mu's expression suddenly changed and he shouted angrily: "You are so bold and evil, how dare you bring trouble to the world. I will remove you today and receive my Dragon-Subduing Divine Palm."

Li Mu parted his legs, stood in a horse stance, drew a circle with his left hand on his chest, and pushed forward with his right palm.

"hold head high"

Amidst the roar of the dragon that shook the sky, a five-clawed golden dragon roared out and rushed towards the Qiantang River Dragon King with its teeth and claws.

The Dragon King of Qiantang River was shocked and angry. He really didn't expect that Li Mu would actually dare to offend Heaven and attack him.

Or use the "Dragon Subduing Divine Palm", which is a magical power specifically targeted at their dragon clan.

It is true that there is an Arhat who subdued the dragon in your Western Lingshan Mountain, but what he subdued was the Western Naga Dragon.

He shouted to subjugate the dragon, but he shot out a dragon with his backhand. It was simply too much to bully the dragon.

"Smelly monk, I am not someone to be trifled with."

"hold head high"

Another dragon roar that shook the world sounded in the field, and the Qiantang River Dragon King transformed into a blue, four-clawed dragon that was more than ten feet long, and faced the golden dragon that Li Mu had shot.

When Li Mu Lingkong performed the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms move, he was actually using the moves to control the golden dragon, making bites and scratches, shaking his head and tail, entangling and constricting, and other dragon fighting movements.

No matter how you say it, Li Mu is three realms higher than the Dragon King of Qiantang River, and his actual combat power is even four realms higher.

After just a few encounters, the Dragon King of Qiantang River was beaten by Li Mu's magical golden dragon, causing internal and external injuries and screaming in agony.

"hold head high"

With a sad and angry dragon roar, the Dragon King of Qiantang River relied on his authority as the River God to condense the water spirit of the entire Qiantang River into a huge water dragon, roaring towards Li Mu.

"With little skills, he dares to show off his axe, the mighty heavenly dragon, the great Luo Dharma mantra, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Bama coax... slay demons and subjugate demons."

Li Mu, as always, used the Buddhist spell as his skin, the water spirit law as his bones, and his peak Taiyi magic power as his flesh, and pointed at the flying water dragon.

"Wow"

The Dragon King of the Qiantang River found in despair that the water dragon that he had condensed using the authority of the River God actually collapsed in the air.

The so-called Jiang Shen's authority relies on the divine position to borrow the power of the water spirit law.

But it was a tragedy that he met Li Mu, a person who had mastered the law of water spirit himself.

That is to say, Li Mu didn't master the law of water spirit deeply enough, otherwise, let alone just scatter the water dragon, the water dragon could even be directly used by him.
