Chapter 986 Deterrence Techniques

The Great Hall.

Many Bodhisattvas, Vajras, Arhats, and Bhikkhunis all looked at Muzha in unison.

Mu Zha trembled violently.

On Li Mu's side, the transmitted image also shook violently.

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Muzha, frowned slightly and said, "In the future, tell me any information about Li Xiaobai as soon as possible."

Mu Zha wiped the sweat from his forehead and said calmly: "Master, Li Xiaobai's request is really excessive. I have been hesitant whether I should tell the master."

"Speak quickly," Tathagata said.

"Buddha, before leaving Huangfengling, Li Xiaobai asked his disciples about the previous arrangements for obtaining scriptures. The master, Venerable Manjusri, Venerable Samantabhadra and Mother Lishan set up checkpoints behind the Liusha River to test the Zen mind of Monk Tang and others. ." Mu Zha said tremblingly, "This time, because of Li Xiaobai's intervention, something went wrong in the matter of learning the scriptures. Therefore, Li Xiaobai hopes that the master will still set up this checkpoint on the way forward..."

"Arrogant." Venerable Kasyapa interrupted Muzha with a dark face before he could finish his words, "What does he think of Buddhism? Is everyone just at his mercy?"

He turned to the Tathagata and clasped his hands together, "World Honored One, according to my disciple's opinion, Buddhist soldiers should be raised as soon as possible to kill Li Xiaobai. If the heaven knows about his methods, it will be very detrimental to our Buddhist generals."

Tathagata said nothing and looked around at everyone. The noisy Mahavira Palace also became quiet.

Mu Zha's words revealed too much, and they couldn't help but be cautious.

Tathagata made some calculations with his fingers, and the heavenly secret was still in chaos.

He sighed softly and said: "Venerable Guanyin, you have met Li Xiaobai before. Do you have any guesses about his origin? He knows such detailed information about the arrangements for obtaining scriptures. Is it possible that he is really someone from inside Lingshan?"

Thinking of the process of dealing with Li Xiaobai, Guanyin secretly smiled bitterly and said: "World Honored One, Li Xiaobai claims to be a Buddha in Lingshan Mountain, but judging from his words and deeds, there is no trace of Buddha nature. Instead, his supernatural powers restrain Buddhism, and his disciples cannot infer his origin? But what is the so-called shadow Buddha? The Buddha's Li Xiaohei may be a breakthrough. World Honored One, now that the secrets are confused and all deduction methods are invalid, my disciples believe that they can make Listening under Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva secretly spy on Li Xiaobai, and they may be able to find out his true identity."

…

Listen carefully?

Li Xiaobai, who was spying secretly, frowned and ignored the timid guy. .

He had dealt with Di Ting.

Listening can indeed eavesdrop on his thoughts.

In the world of lotus lanterns, even the big conch could not prevent it.

However, Li Mu didn't take Di Ting to heart.

Although that guy is known as a mythical beast, he has little strength and little courage.

If those guys from Buddhism dared to find Di Ting to deal with him, he wouldn't mind having a pet dog by his side...

As for Li Hailong, if they are willing to scheme, they can do it.

…

A group of big guys didn't want to arrange for the Four Saints to test their Zen Heart. Instead, they were thinking about dealing with Li Xiaobai. Muzha couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Seizing a gap in the conversation, he interjected: "Master, Li Xiaobai also said that the Four Saints will test their Zen Heart." When the time comes, he will tell you the solution to turning into a dog."

There was another moment of silence.

Guanyin turned to Muzha and said, "Disciple, next time you speak, finish your words at once."

Mu Zha glanced at Lord Kasyapa quietly, with a look of helplessness on his face: "Yes, master."

"Is there any more?" Guanyin asked.

"No more." Mu Zha shook his head.

"He is actually willing to provide a solution. I am afraid that it is another scam and he wants to plot against me." Manjushri Bodhisattva glanced at Lingji and said, "World Honored One, I still recommend sending troops to suppress Li Xiaobai. We cannot let him lead us by the nose. Walk."

"What Venerable Manjushri said is true," Samantabhadra said.

The black bear spirit and Lingji Bodhisattva turned into dogs one after another, and even the statues in the temple changed accordingly.

They are instinctively unwilling to take this risk.

Who knows whether what Li Xiaobai said is true or not, Lingji will change as soon as he turns into a dog, which will affect his reputation.

But a few of them have already established a huge force of their own in the Three Realms.

To put it bluntly, if Li Xiaobai had no good intentions and turned them into dogs, the business that had been running for thousands of years would be destroyed.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

It would be safer to just pin Li Xiaobai to death...

Tathagata did not listen to them, but looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva: "Venerable Guanyin, what is your opinion?"

Avalokitesvara pondered for a moment and said, "I believe that a sharp sword can cut through the mess."

The words have not yet finished.

A scream came from the position of Venerable Kasyapa.

Everyone looked at the sound.

Where Kasyapa was before, a yellow and white dog stood at Tathagata's lower hand, looking back and forth in panic...

There was an uproar.

Mu Zha took a breath and looked horrified. He was suddenly glad that he had not betrayed Li Xiaobai. It turned out that Li Xiaobai could really turn people into dogs remotely!

More than 100,000 miles apart.

Is this magic power that humans can possess?

Tathagata doesn't have such profound magic power!

…

The main hall suddenly became chaotic.

All the Arhats and King Kongs rushed out of the hall immediately, flying into the sky and escaping to find Li Xiaobai.

I looked around inside and outside the Main Hall, but no one noticed anything unusual.

Tathagata tried his best to look far away.

A long while.

He withdrew his gaze: "Dear lords, there is no need to look for it, Li Xiaobai does not live in Lingshan."

"How could he cast a spell on Venerable Kassapa if he is not in Lingshan?" Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva said in horror, "I don't believe that his magical powers are far superior to ours. If he has such magical power, why would he go to such great lengths to do it alone?" But it will destroy my spiritual mountain!"

"The Supreme Being, there is another possibility." Manjushri Bodhisattva said, "Lingshan, Li Xiaobai really became a Buddha at Lingshan, then we are indeed within the coverage of his magic power."

The Buddhas looked at their feet in shock, and there was another commotion.

"World Honored One, save me." Lord Kassapa begged.

Lingji Bodhisattva looked at Venerable Kassapa who had also turned into a dog, and felt a sense of relief for no reason. Li Xiaobai had already said that he would tell the Four Saints how to solve the problem of turning into a dog when they test their Zen mind.

But the Buddhas ignored his difficulties and insisted on attacking Li Xiaobai, which inevitably made him feel cold all over.

now.

Li Xiaobai didn't show up, so he turned Kasyapa into a dog.

this time.

I'm afraid it won't work if I don't get rid of the Zen mentality of the Four Saints!

One Kasyapa is not enough, a few more are needed. Lingji Bodhisattva's eyes are wandering among the many Bodhisattvas, looking forward to the next person to turn into a dog. The more people turn into dogs, the greater his hope of being rescued.

Li Mu did not disappoint Lingji Bodhisattva. When he looked around, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva turned into a snow-white Samaya without any warning.

…

Another Bodhisattva turned into a dog.

Many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Mahavira Hall finally panicked.

"Lingshan, Li Xiaobai must have become a Buddha in Lingshan. Everything about us is under his control. Only if he knows all our secrets can he be invincible." Venerable A-nuo said in a panic, "World Honored One, the top priority is that we should Move away from Lingshan first, and then make plans."

"Don't panic!" Tathagata frowned, glanced at everyone in the hall, and finally fixed his gaze on Mu Zha, and shouted sternly, "Mu Zha, you still haven't recruited me from the truth."

Plop!

Muzha's knees softened and he knelt on the ground.

He took off the Qimoyuzhu from his wrist, raised his hands high, sweating like rain: "World Honored One, have mercy on me, it was Li Xiaobai who forced me to do this. If I don't listen to him, he will turn me into a dog." , this bead is also..."

That's half the story.

Muzha dwarfed and turned into a wrinkled Shar-Pei with melancholy eyes.

Qimoyuzhu also rolled to the ground.

Mu Zha's voice stopped suddenly and was lost in the faint clouds.

"Muzha, Tathagata is just scaring you, why bother?" Li Mu's virtual image bounced out of the Qimoyuzhu. He looked around at the Buddhas in the Mahavira Hall and smiled, "Tathagata, I have achieved the goal with Guanyin Bodhisattva before. We made a bet. You and I just act in accordance with the bet, why bother plotting behind others?"

The Buddhas looked at Li Xiaobai's virtual image and glared at Muzha.

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the shivering Muzha, shook his head slightly, and sighed.

"Li Xiaobai, don't talk nonsense. It's clearly you who are scheming behind the scenes." Venerable Kasyapa had turned into a dog. He simply broke the jar, stood up, and roared loudly at him.

"Kasyapa, be silent." Tathagata shouted low, stretched out his hand, and the Qimoyuzhu on the ground fell into his palm. Li Xiaobai's virtual image moved accordingly, making it look like he was standing in Tathagata's palm. .

Tathagata carefully observed Qi Mo Yuzhu and smiled at Li Mu: "Fellow Taoist, what a magic weapon and magical power."

"Buddha's praise is false." Li Mu replied with a smile.

"Why are you fellow Taoist being enemies of my spiritual mountain?" Tathagata asked again.

"Buddha, I don't want to be an enemy of anyone. I just pity all sentient beings and want to walk the path of learning in my own way." Li Mu smiled and said, "Tathagata, you have also seen my magical powers. Why don't you follow mine? The way is for me to make a trip, everyone is safe, and the water in the well does not interfere with the river! If you don’t interfere with it, I will make this trip very quickly. If you are not satisfied afterwards, Buddhism can find another Buddhist monk, and then Walk through the path to gain experience.”

"Fellow Taoist, the Buddhist scriptures have been arranged for nearly a thousand years, how can we just change it?" Tathagata smiled faintly, "Since you, Taoist, claim to be Lingshan Buddha, you should plan for my Buddhism. Why don't you let Monk Tang return to the right path, and Taoist monks will come?" Lingshan, how about I personally mold a golden body for my Taoist friend and make him a real Lingshan Buddha?"

"As long as Tang Monk passes my test, I will be the Lingshan Buddha. By then, the power of Buddhism will increase greatly, which will be a blessing for Buddhism and a blessing for me." Of course, Li Mu would not reveal his true purpose and said with a smile, " Buddha, if you comply with my arrangements, Lingshan may suffer less torture."

"Fellow Taoist, what you said is wrong..." Tathagata still wanted to persuade.

Interrupted by Li Mu, he shook his head: "Buddha, to be honest, this journey of learning scriptures is also my practice. I need to use it to see through some things. You can't explain me. Instead of spending your time trying to persuade me, why not, four Shengzhenzhenxin had arranged it earlier and was less interested in teasing me behind my back. In fact, I didn’t mean any harm."

no offence?

Destroy my Buddhism’s thousand-year plan to learn Buddhist scriptures!

He often turns me, the Buddhist Bodhisattva, into a dog!

If this can be said to be without malice, then all sentient beings in the world may become Buddhas!

Tathagata pondered for a moment and said, "What should I do if I don't obey?"

Li Mu smiled and said four words: "There is no Buddha in the world."

As soon as this statement came out.

There was an uproar in the Main Hall.

"Arrogant!" "How dare you!" and other voices were heard in succession.

Among the noisy sounds.

The mighty Vajra, the Victory Vajra and other great Vajras turned into dogs again in full view of the public.

Who is the dog?

He left a few behind who might be useful on the way to learn the scriptures, but Li Mu was not polite to them at all towards others.

Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.

These guys are already planning to plot against him behind his back. If they are not shocked, something might happen!

as expected.

When several Vajras turned into dogs again.

All the clamoring voices suddenly died down.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay here." The Bodhisattvas and Vajras in the Mahavira Hall changed into dogs one after another. Tathagata finally couldn't sit still and said hurriedly, "Everything is easy to discuss. Friend Taoist and Venerable Guanyin have made a bet. Let's go according to the bet. Buddhism I promise not to plot against my fellow Taoists secretly, and my fellow Taoists should not take action against Buddhists anymore. We are all Buddhists, and we should regard peace as the most precious thing."

Said.

He waved his hand secretly.

For a moment.

All the Bodhisattvas and Arhats in the Main Hall were gone, leaving only Guanyin, Manjusri, Samantabhadra and a few who had turned into dogs.

Suddenly losing sight of the target, Li Mu tried to rely on his memory and launched the skill specifically on the Eighteen Arhats. As a result, he did not get any response.

The company's skills are all instantaneous. If successful, Tathagata will definitely receive feedback.

There is no response now, which proves that the skill activation failed.

Li Mu couldn't help but sigh.

There is no way to blindly cast single dog skills, and there are also hidden settings to ensure vision.

Pity.

Although his skills were weakened, Li Mu remained calm on the surface: "Buddha, I have always advocated peace. Otherwise, I would not have made such a bet with the Bodhisattva."

"Okay, we will act according to the rules." The Tathagata looked at Li Mu's virtual image and said, "I hope that fellow Taoists will fulfill their promise and tell the Bodhisattva the solution to the dog-turning technique when the Four Saints test their Zen hearts. If Buddhism There is no way out, so we should destroy our fellow Taoists in the world at all costs."

"There is a way, there is a way." Li Mu smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Buddha, you are the World Honored One of Buddhism, and I am the Buddha of Lingshan. After all, we are also a family, and we will continue to promote Buddhism together in the future. Therefore, the dissipation of Buddhism will not have any impact on me. Good thing. Let’s settle it! Buddha can keep this bead, and you can ask Muzha for the specific method of use. If Buddha has any questions, you can contact me at any time.”

"Good." Tathagata nodded.

"Also, Mu Zha is mine, don't make things too difficult for him." Li Mu smiled, turned to Mu Zha's direction, and ordered.

Although Mu Zha was turned into a dog by Li Mu, he still cried with joy when he heard this sentence. His undercover identity was exposed and he no longer had a foothold in Lingshan, but with Li Xiaobai's guarantee, he was alive again.

"Okay." Tathagata glanced at Muzha and nodded again.

After saying that, he suddenly made a move with his palm, and a golden bowl appeared out of thin air and clasped on the Qimoyuzhu.

Li Mu's face went dark, and his vision was completely cut off.

When the other party takes precautions, technology loses its effect.

In the world of Journey to the West, Buddhism is a terrifying existence with a huge size.

When the single dog's skills could not be controlled remotely, Li Mu did not dare to do anything.

after all.

The customer's wishes are too complicated, and unexpected things may happen at any point.

They offended the Tathagata so much that they only wanted to cause trouble. Not only did they fight and kill, they couldn't solve the problem, and they couldn't walk through the prescribed path.

If some god or monster accidentally kills the customer, the mission will fail.

In the final analysis, there were still too many restrictions that prevented him from letting go.

It's good to use single dog as a deterrent skill.

but.

There are more than ten dogs in Lingshan, and the matter of the Four Saints testing the Zen mind should be settled.

…
