Chapter 313: Sitting Deer and Descending to Lu Sheng (Part )
Last time, we talked about Lu Sheng was about to attack Tao Xuan, so will Tao Xuan be in trouble? Let's read on.
Lu Sheng slowly raised his hand, and a black flame ignited in his palm. It was the Mojiu technique passed down to him by Empress Tai'an. It was the pinnacle of fire magic, and even the golden body of a second-grade Arhat in Buddhism could not withstand it.
Just as he was about to launch an attack, he heard a solemn Buddhist chant from the west: "Namo Amitabha!" A swastika seal suddenly appeared in the sky, and the Buddha's light directly knocked Lu Sheng down, and he fell into the flooded Tianchi Lake.
Afterwards, another hole was knocked open on the west mountain, and the sound of a deer was heard. A five-colored sika deer was carrying a bald monk with long white eyebrows and a childlike smile. The monk was holding a branch in his hand, and a young man was hanging on the branch. It was none other than Langya!
The five-colored deer jumped in the mountains, not to mention the incredibly fast speed. Just the white-browed monk sitting cross-legged on the back of the deer was as steady as an old dog! Is it a bit inappropriate to describe Li Yi's Buddhist master uncle like this? Let's put it another way. The arhat sat on the back of the deer. Even though the rocks were steep and the divine deer was moving, he was as steady as a mountain, with no hesitation.
Then Li Yi jumped out of the West Mountain carrying a Zoroastrian priest. He was carrying the Immortal Wood Ding who had asked him for help before. Li Yi found Butler Zhou and gave him the Immortal Wood Ding to take care of. Then he rushed into the West Mountain again. He had to put out the fire. Li Yi came to Wu Ji's body and stretched out his left hand to eliminate the fire source with the Red Lotus Karma Fire.
On the other side, the five-colored deer came to the side of Tao Xuan Zhenren who was meditating and regulating his breath. The sitting deer arhat bowed to Tao Xuan and said, "Amitabha, I greet Tao Xuan Zhenren. I am Bindu Bhara, a disciple of the Buddha Tathagata. I have received the Buddha's order to come here to help in the battle.
My junior fellow monk Xiaoshi had his meridians burned by the hellfire moxibustion used by Lu Sheng, and was forced to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation to practice Buddhism again. To this day, he has not converted.
He also ordered people to destroy my temples, kill my monks, and burn my scriptures. He has committed all kinds of crimes against my Buddhist community. I hope you will help me and let me end this karma."
The words of the Sitting Deer Arhat can be said to have given Tao Xuan enough face. I am not helping you because you can't beat Lu Sheng, but we have had a grudge against each other for a long time. Look at my sincerity, how can you not give me some face?
Tao Xuan returned the greeting and said, "Greetings to the Sitting Deer Arhat. Since there is such a cause and effect, I will do him a favor. It just so happens that the Golden Crow is not dead yet, Xiu Yuan may not be able to deal with it by himself, so I will go and help him."
At this moment, Lu Sheng jumped out of the Tianchi Lake and flew towards the two of them. Tao Xuan and Zuo Lu looked at each other and flew up at the same time. Zuo Lu Luohan summoned the Dharma image of Acala and punched Lu Sheng in the chest with both fists to repel him, while Tao Xuan rushed into the West Mountain.
The five-colored deer on the ground first used its mouth to put the wolf's tooth on its back, then kicked its legs and kicked the branch of the sitting deer arhat into the air. The sitting deer arhat caught the branch and said with a smile: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Go quickly."
The five-colored deer nodded, carrying the wolf's fangs and running towards the Tianchi Lake, whistling at the water surface, and the water surface parted by itself, and the five-colored deer jumped into the pool. After a while, the five-colored deer returned to the shore with a golden lotus. In addition to the wolf's fangs, there were also more than 30 Zoroastrian priests on the golden lotus.
The golden lotus dissipated, and more than 30 people lay together. The five-colored deer shook his body, and the five-colored lotus pattern on his body emitted a colorful light to form a light shield that covered everyone. He was treating them. Seeing this, Steward Zhou also wanted to get some treatment, but as soon as he got close, the five-colored deer glared at him, so he had to give up and stay where he was.
Not long after, Langya woke up. Looking at the light shield, he felt very comfortable. However, he saw a sika deer staring at him. He immediately stayed where he was and dared not move.
Liu Ruyun and Yu Jiu rushed over and stayed beside the Five-Colored Deer. Yu Jiu asked, "Now that the soul-binding formation and barrier have been broken, I think both Young Master and Hero Xiao can survive the calamity safely."
The Five-Colored Deer said, "Brother Xiuyuan is definitely fine, but it's hard to say about that female donor."
Liu Ruyun was surprised and asked, "You can talk? And you call Li Yi your junior brother?"
"Why? All beings in Buddhism are equal. I entered Buddhism earlier than Xiuyuan. What's wrong with calling him Junior Brother?"
"No, no, no, I just didn't expect you to be a spirit beast. Hey, why did you save them? They've done a lot of evil!"
"Amitabha, since we have met, it is a predestined relationship. We should at least give them a chance to repent."
Liu Ruyun shook her head and sighed, then looked up at the sky with Yu Jiu and Butler Zhou.
At this time, the sitting deer holding a branch started chatting with Lu Sheng in mid-air. Lu Sheng asked, "What is your ranking among the Eighteen Arhats of Buddhism?"
Zuolu waved his hand and said, "Amitabha, we are all brothers and sisters, there is no ranking."
Lu Sheng asked tentatively: "Why did I hear that you ranked first?"
Zuolu waved his hand and said, "That's all made up by the disciples. The eighteen of us have never competed before, so how can there be any ranking? I just joined earlier and became the eldest brother."
Lu Sheng nodded and said, "I am indeed the strongest among the Eighteen Arhats. The Buddhist sect thinks highly of me!"
Zuolu said with a smile: "Master Lu, it is not too late for you to turn over a new leaf now. If you continue to be stubborn and collude with Mo Luo and help the demons, you will really fall into the devil's way!"
Lu Sheng laughed and said, "Laughing Lion told me the same thing at the beginning, but I am still fine now. What is the devil path? I only believe in Empress Tai'an! As for the demons, I just want to use them to replace the human race."
The Deer-Sitting Arhat suddenly turned around, and golden light around him dispersed like gold powder. The gold powder floated away and revealed a human figure. The human figure slowly emerged and it was actually Lu Sheng!
Lu Sheng smiled and said, "That's a really good trick. It seems that the soul-gathering body can't fool you."
Zuolu replied, "Those who have received the teachings of the Buddha Tathagata and whose six senses are pure can open their wisdom eyes. All dharmas are not appearances. Although your soul and body can be mistaken for the real thing, it is missing one thing, so it is not difficult to distinguish."
"What's missing?"
"Heart!"
"Hmph, you'd better go to hell and accompany your junior brother!" Lu Sheng said, then raised his right hand and swung out a black fireball.
The Sitting Deer Arhat held up a beam of golden light with one hand, and the black fire did not explode or scatter when it hit the golden light, but it was like a sticky liquid stuck to the wall of light. The Sitting Deer Arhat immediately discovered something unusual, because the black fire had penetrated his wall of light and regrouped into a fireball flying towards him.
Lu Sheng raised his mouth and revealed a smile. This Mojiu technique was the skill taught by Tai'an Niangniang herself. How could Buddhism stop it? At the moment when the black fire passed through the light wall, the backlight of the sitting deer arhat lit up, and a shadow of the Acala Dharma King appeared. This was the most primitive Acala Dharma King.
I saw the left hand of Acalanatha slowly swung out to block in front of the Deer Arhat. The golden light condensed on his hand to form a light ball of the same size as the black fireball. When the black and gold colors met, it was like putting out a fire with oil, and the fire burned more and more vigorously!
Seeing this, the Sitting Deer Arhat was not surprised. He reached out his hand from his sleeve and took out a piece of yellowed paper. He bit his finger and wrote and drew on the paper. Then he held the paper in his palm and pressed it towards the black fireball. A swastika seal appeared on the yellow paper.
This swastika was written in many Sanskrit characters and should be some kind of talisman. The black fireball was sucked in as soon as it touched the swastika seal. As the Deer-Sitting Arhat pinched the yellow paper with one hand, it disappeared.
Lu Sheng was shocked. His most proud Moxibustion technique was actually resolved by this monk? He felt like giving up, and he immediately said, "Humph, the number one sitting deer arhat is indeed worthy of his reputation. He has some skills, but do you have enough magic paper with you?"
As he was talking, the two Lu Shengs in front and behind each shot out a black fireball. The Deer Arhat flew into the air and tried to dodge, but the black flame had already locked onto him and flew up with him.
Sitting on a deer, he clasped his hands together and chanted the Diamond Sutra mantra. The image of Acalanatha solidified and the swastika mark on his chest lit up. Then he caught a black fireball in each of his hands and extinguished the two fireballs with a clenched hand. However, Lu Sheng threw out two more fireballs, one flew towards the collapsed fire pit in the West Hill, and the other flew towards Liu Ruyun and others by the Tianchi Lake.
At this time, Tao Xuan was guarding the entrance of the West Mountain. When he saw the black fireball flying over, he stretched out his hand and threw Fuchen, and his horsetail immediately stretched out to block the fireball. However, the black fire continued to burn the horsetail, and the horsetail continued to grow. The whole process lasted for more than ten breaths, and the black fireball gradually disappeared.
On the other side, the Deer Arhat kicked his feet in the air, and his body shot straight towards the Tianchi Lake like an arrow. He blocked in front of Liu Ruyun and others before the black fireball, and stomped the ground with one foot and swung out a swastika seal with his right hand.
The seal hit the black fireball and took it flying towards Lu Sheng in the air. With a bang, the fireball exploded in the air, but Lu Sheng disappeared. The sitting deer arhat looked around, then closed his eyes and chanted a mantra, clasped his hands together and raised them to his forehead. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were shining with golden light. This is the wisdom eye of Buddhism.
The Deer-sitting Arhat leaped onto the Tianchi Lake and instantly summoned the hundred-foot-tall Acala Dharmakāya, with his feet in the Tianchi Lake. The Dharmakāya quickly swung out his right fist and hit the air. A burst of air barrier was seen, followed by a loud bang. A deep pit was created on the hillside a few miles away.
The image disappeared, and the Sitting Deer Arhat shot himself out again. When he looked again, countless sand and rocks rolled down the hillside. Then the sound of banging came. It turned out that the Sitting Deer Arhat gave Lu Sheng a set of Arhat Back Rubbing Fist. Ah, it was a set of Arhat Subduing Demon Punch.
Someone may ask, isn't the Deer-Sitting Arhat holding a tree branch, then how can he rub other people's backs? Ugh, he's giving others a combo. In order to prevent Lu Sheng from playing tricks again, the Deer-Sitting Arhat deliberately inserted the tree branch in front of Liu Ruyun and others to protect them.
Don't underestimate this broken branch, it is not an ordinary branch. You may have heard of the Seven Treasures Magic Tree. Of course, the branch in this book is not the Seven Treasures Magic Tree staff that the Taoist Zhunti can use to collect all kinds of treasures in Romance of the Gods. It's just a borrowed name!
To be honest, Feng Lin doesn’t have a good impression of the novel "Investiture of the Gods". I prefer "Journey to the West". So in order to distinguish it from the Seven Treasures Tree in "Investiture of the Gods", I have to make up a story for this branch.
First of all, there are no such characters as Cundi, Jieying and Dipankara in the Buddhist system of our book. Tathagata is the ancestor of all Buddhas, but he is not the founder of Buddhism. He was the first person to join Buddhism, comprehend the Dharma, and become a Buddha, so he is called the Buddha.
Bodhisattvas and Arhats are all disciples of the Buddha, but you have a deeper understanding of the Dharma, so you became a Bodhisattva. In fact, everyone is of the same generation. Those who are close to each other call each other brothers and sisters, and those who are not so close can respectfully call each other Bodhisattvas or Venerables to show respect.
What is the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree? Didn’t the Tathagata Buddha attain enlightenment under a Bodhi tree? The Bodhi tree was transplanted to Mount Xumi by the Buddha. It was always with the Buddha and, over time, was influenced by the Dharma and became one of the most precious treasures of Buddhism, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.
What are these seven treasures? They are purple gold, silver, colored glaze, amber, giant clam, coral, and agate.
The branch in the hand of the sitting deer arhat was a section that the Buddha broke off from the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, so it was of great origin. This branch alone could block the black fire and ink moxibustion technique thrown by Lu Sheng.
On the other side, the Sitting Deer Arhat used his Arhat Subduing Demons Crush on Lu Sheng, making a clanging sound, and it looked like he had crushed him. But in fact, this was not the case. The reason for this was that Lu Sheng did not want to fight the Sitting Deer.
But now he had been hit by two sets of combos, his anger level had risen, his body was soaked, bah, his body was hot, and he flew out from the rock and came into the air.
The Deer Arhat immediately followed, and Lu Sheng looked towards the Tianchi Lake. The Deer Arhat blocked his view and bowed to the Buddha, saying, "Amitabha, I will not let you escape to the underworld!"
Lu Sheng sighed and clenched his fists. The Deer Arhat opened his wisdom eyes and instantly knew that he was going to do it for real. And this one move would turn the surrounding area within ten miles into a sea of fire. Battles in the extraordinary realm often bring about changes in the landscape, and moving mountains and filling the sea is not uncommon.
