Inside the Li Residence.
Upon entering, Li Su was taken aback. The feeling outside was not very clear, but once inside, the strange sensation returned. It was not something like demons or monsters that were in the Li Residence.
Li Su couldn't help but turn her head to glance at Yu Ming of Dragon Tiger Mountain, wondering if the other party had noticed.
Seeing that the other person was still walking with his head held high, Li Su couldn't help but rub her temples. This guy didn't seem to have noticed anything.
He's not going to just barge in and charge straight in, is he?
Although Li Su couldn't be sure what the thing inside was, there was no doubt that dealing with it using normal methods of slaying demons and monsters would likely result in a great loss.
What is considered normal are techniques for exorcising evil spirits.
For example, techniques like Thunder Method and Dragon Division Strength are effective at killing demons and monsters, but their effectiveness is greatly reduced if they are not. Although Thunder Method has high attack power in addition to exorcising evil, the thing inside it may not be affected. Although you can see the spiritual fluctuations, you can't sense the life fluctuations, meaning it's not a flesh-and-blood creature.
Therefore, to combat that existence, other means are needed, such as Li Su using the Buddha Land to forcefully elevate your mind and then forcibly absorb it.
His attack method is not the conventional way of exorcising evil, but rather a combination of control and plunder.
Some might argue that Buddhist Sect methods should be aimed at saving all sentient beings, not controlling and plundering.
The concept of universal salvation is something taught in Mahayana Buddhism. Most ordinary Buddhist practitioners follow Hinayana Buddhism, which focuses on self-salvation. (This is in the context of this world; please don't apply it to reality!)
It's not that I'm unwilling to practice Mahayana Buddhism, but without great supernatural powers and strength, what kind of Mahayana Buddhism can I practice? What does Mahayana Buddhism emphasize? It's about saving all sentient beings. Can an ordinary person do that?
Therefore, at least in this world, the Pure Land Sect does not practice Mahayana Buddhism. The fundamental teaching of the Amitabha Sutra, as studied by Li Su, is about cultivating the Buddha Land for oneself, not for all sentient beings. (Again, this applies to this world!)
Unfortunately, Mahayana Buddhism places extremely high demands on talent, comprehension, and luck. It's like the Buddha said: everyone has Buddha within them. But think about it—not to mention the limited number of Buddhas, if everyone could become a Buddha, would Buddha still be valuable? What would Bodhisattvas think? What would Arhats think?
Therefore, for Li Su, slaying demons and evil spirits out of compassion and saving them, while also making good use of their corpses, not only improved himself but also protected the environment—a win-win situation.
In fact, there are precedents for this. For example, is it that you and I have a karmic connection with Buddhism?
Getting back to the main point, as they arrived—no, primarily the arrival of the True Person from Dragon Tiger Mountain —Li Qi, the head of the Li Residence, immediately came out to greet them with a smile, saying, "Welcome, True Person from Dragon Tiger Mountain to the Li Residence..."
His gaze faltered slightly, and his smile froze. The reason was obvious: he had seen Li Su.
Those bald monks from the Pure Land Sect? They've arrived at this time? And what's more, they're dressed in plain clothes! He was immediately displeased, very angry, extremely angry.
"Master!"
Although at this moment, the entire Li Residence undoubtedly disliked Li Su, there was clearly one exception: Madam Qian. Looking at Li Su, she saw no belated reproach, only joy and happiness.
Here, it's worth mentioning that Buddhist Sect, compared to Daoism, is significantly more appealing to ordinary people, possessing a powerful infectious quality. For instance, Li Su's Buddha Land, though belonging to him, originates from the heart and from the holding of compassion. That infectious quality is extremely effective in cleansing the three thousand afflictions, much like how a smile can be contagious.
"Benefactor Qian!" Li Su clasped his hands together, his face showing apology. He hadn't intended to say much, but he still offered an explanation. "I'm sorry, we encountered bandits on the way. We could have arrived in time, but unexpectedly, more than twenty women were captured and imprisoned in the mountain stronghold. It was to settle them that we were delayed for so long."
Of course, that's not all. As a Buddhist practitioner, the moment he saw Madam Qian, he noticed that although there was a dark cloud hanging over her, she was not in any danger to her life or her blood relatives. After all, he had already mastered supernatural powers and could naturally know good and bad fortune. It was difficult for him to predict his own fate, but an ordinary person could tell at a glance. That's why he didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Li Qi and the others were taken aback. Although they realized that the other party must have had some reason for coming here, they did not expect that it was to rescue someone.
Li Qi's expression softened slightly. He understood the Pure Land Sect, these Buddhist monks, best; they wouldn't stand by and watch someone die, though he was somewhat annoyed.
As for Li Shi, being a spoiled brat, he couldn't help but sneer. Are a bunch of peasants more important than the Li Residence? Being late is being late, no matter what the reason.
"I see." Madam Qian breathed a sigh of relief. It was normal for the Buddhist Sect disciples to be compassionate. She smiled and said, "That's wonderful. They were saved by the master. I believe they can also be redeemed."
In an instant, Li Qi and Li Shi's faces changed color. The lady (mother) had a very high level of favorability towards them, and as Li Yuan's eighth-generation descendant, they had heard Princess Gaoyang's love story many times.
Sensing the hostility in their eyes, Li Su sighed. He mentioned that Madam Qian's goodwill towards him wasn't romantic love, but rather a natural affinity stemming from his Buddhist cultivation. The Lamb Princess and Bianji were initially innocent, but Bianji, being too young, couldn't resist. Who was the Lamb Princess? Bold and open-minded; if you dared to come, I dared to act like that, which is why things went awry.
Li Su softly said, " Amitabha Buddha!"
The soft chanting of Buddhist hymns, like gentle rain, soothes the soul and calms the mind.
For a moment, Madam Qian snapped back to reality, realizing her lapse in composure. She took a step back and said, "I apologize, Master, I was being disrespectful."
Li Su smiled slightly, "Thank you for your concern, but as the saying goes, concern can lead to confusion."
That's right, it's purely out of concern, like worrying about one's own family; there's no real secret behind it.
Li Qi and Li Shi also calmed down as their killing intent subsided. After all, they were just mortals, and it was difficult for them to resist Li Su's amazing influence.
Sure, we have some in stock!
Beside him, Master Yuming couldn't help but blink. As a member of the Daoist sect, he naturally wouldn't be so easily influenced. He thought it was just a simple outfit. Those bald monks from the Pure Land Sect really love this kind of thing. They're clearly incredibly powerful, yet they insist on wearing tattered or plain clothes. How many demons and monsters have been killed because of this? Even a hundred-foot-high wall in the Underworld wouldn't be enough to record it all.
At the very least, he should be wearing a brown coat!
Having arrived at the answer in his mind, Master Yuming immediately put aside his carelessness and became serious.
The Pure Land Sect directly dispatched those in brown robes, so the demons in the Li Residence are probably not simple. They're definitely worthy of an automatic promotion, since they love to send their disciples to deliver the demons before dealing with them. Otherwise, where would they put all those new bald monks who join every year?
"Inspector Li, why don't we get straight to the troubles facing the Li Residence?"
Master Yuming went straight to the point, just like the Daoist priests of Dragon Tiger Mountain. He was the most authentic Daoist in the world, and he didn't need any atmosphere building up. When it came to dealing with demons and monsters, there was only one word: kill!
Li Qi took a breath and immediately felt a sense of relief. As expected of a disciple of Dragon Tiger Mountain, he was completely different from that sect next door. Look at this efficiency.
He immediately spoke frankly and recounted the strange things that had happened in the Li family.
"It's like this: about a year ago, a mournful sound suddenly appeared at the Li Residence. The sound wasn't loud, but it could be heard as soon as you stepped into the backyard. And as time went by, the mournful sound became more and more pronounced. We thought we couldn't find the source, and since it was only in the backyard, we sealed it off. But even now, even if we don't go to the backyard, we can still hear it. And even when we leave the Li Residence and live elsewhere, the mournful sound will definitely be heard every night at midnight!"
Soon, Li Qi recounted the strange events that had occurred at the Li Residence, "In the last six months, things started to change. The exorcists we hired died, and not only that, the cries of the demon were no longer mournful, but filled with Wrath. Many people couldn't bear it and fell ill from fright. We beg you, True Person, to help the Li Residence eliminate this monster and prevent it from getting out of control!"
Yu Ming frowned; this situation was undoubtedly not strange at all.
Demons generally fall into two categories: one type pulls off a massive heist, killing many people at once; the other develops quietly, disappearing one person every month and moving to a different location after about a year.
This one at the Li Residence is clearly doing the opposite; isn't it just inviting demon hunters to come here?
In fact, quite a few people were invited by the Li Residence, and several of them died. There are probably many more who survived.
Yu Ming immediately said, "Inspector Li, could you please have someone take me to the backyard for a look?"
"Of course!" Li Qi waved his hand and immediately ordered a servant to lead him there.
Hello! Hello! Hello!
Seeing Master Yuming heading straight for the backyard, Li Su couldn't help but feel annoyed. He thought Yu Ming Zhenren was a great master, but it seemed like he had just left the beginner's village not long ago!
You can hear it even during the day, and you can still hear it even after leaving the Li Residence. This is undoubtedly related to a curse, right? Knowing that exorcists would die if they came, you just ran naked into the backyard like that?
While the Golden Light Mantra of Dragon Tiger Mountain has the same effect as the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art, and can even resist the invasion of external evils, it is not omnipotent. What if it fails to defend against evil? Wouldn't that just get you into trouble? At least sticking on a talisman would do. The Zhengyi Orthodox Unity a major sect of talismans. Does this bastard think that as long as he has the Golden Light Mantra and advanced Thunder Method, he will be safe from all dangers?
You're a Daoist priest, not a mage or warrior, so use a talisman on me!
After taking only a couple of steps, Master Yuming suddenly turned around, his eyes flashing with the same look he had when Li Shi tripped and fell earlier. He glanced at him and chuckled, "Monk, aren't you coming?"
Li Su sighed. "Are you saying you won't come? No, you're talking about whether a monk would dare to come."
Are you kidding me? Who the Fahai! The guy who can ascend to heaven carrying Golden Peak Mountain, why would I dare?
So he smiled and said, "This humble monk will not go; I will leave it to the True Person to handle."
Upon hearing this, Master Yuming laughed. "Is that all? A bald monk from the Pure Land Sect!"
With a victorious smile on his face, Master Yuming vanished, leaving only Li Qi and his son, Madam Qian, and Li Su behind.
"Benefactor Qian, this humble monk would like to ask if your family purchased anything a year ago, such as antiques?" Li Su asked directly, without inquiring about Li Qi and his son. Although he had just defused their murderous intent towards him, it hadn't reached the point where they would feel favorably toward him, unless he opened Buddha Land.
Um?
Madam Qian was taken aback. "Master, what do you mean?"
Li Su didn't hide anything and said directly, "This humble monk suspects that what's inside your residence isn't a demon, but something else entirely. Expelling demons is easy, but if it's not a demon, then I'm afraid we'll need other methods to solve the problem."
Li Qi remained silent, but Li Shi was clearly targeting him. After all, the fall he had just suffered had left him feeling incredibly ashamed. "Heh, what a nice way to talk big. You were too scared to go in earlier, but now you're saying it's not a demon, but something else entirely? And then you add that this thing is beyond the Pure Land Sect's jurisdiction. Perfect, you've got both face and substance."
Madam Qian frowned, glancing at Li Shi with a hint of anger, then shook her head and said, "I'm not Greater Purity that; I'll have to ask the steward."
"Where is the butler, please tell me?"
"I'm sorry, Master, the butler is quite exhausted from that voice and is currently bedridden."
"It's alright, let's go over there first. I reckon things won't be peaceful at the Li Residence for a while, it'll be safer to stay away."
Um?
This time, not only Madam Qian, but also Li Qi Li Shi were stunned.
"What does the master mean?"
"It's almost certain that the one inside isn't a monster, and Master Yuming is quite powerful as well. If the two were to clash, the commotion would likely be huge."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a sharp shout rang out, "Since you're so ungrateful, then don't blame me for being impolite."
"Roar!" The response was a Wrath roar.
Boom!
A bolt from the blue, a thunderclap.
A commotion suddenly erupted in the backyard of the Li Residence, with a deafening roar that shook the entire Li Residence.
Apart from Li Su, the other three couldn't help but change their expressions drastically, and the servants beside them trembled with fear on their faces.
Li Qi and his son were filled with astonishment. They knew that the Daoists of Dragon Tiger Mountain were powerful, but they never expected them to be able to reach such a level, using heavenly lightning to fight. It was simply divine skill, unlike that of a certain bald monk from a certain sect.
At this moment, Li Shi couldn't help but get excited and shouted, "As expected of the True Person of Dragon Tiger Mountain, such methods will surely annihilate that monster!"
Li Su raised an eyebrow. High HP and defense, and the ability to taunt—that's a tank! Low HP and thin skin, and the ability to taunt—that's just courting death!
The other party is right in your yard. And as Li Shi spoke, Li Su noticed that the lines on his body were much denser than those on others, fearing that the Li family's misfortunes over the past year were closely related to this guy.
"Roar!"
A furious roar suddenly exploded, and the lightning bolt in the sky trembled, as if it had been pulled, and crashed straight down towards Li Shi.
Li Shi, who had been excited, turned pale with fright.
Madam Qian Li Qi, couldn't help but change her expression drastically, "Oh no, Master! (Master, save my son!)"
It was obvious that among the entire Li Residence family, only Madam Qian was the most astute, knowing who to call for help to be saved.
Li Su extended his index finger, and the Buddha Land at his fingertip opened slightly. In an instant, as if it were a lightning rod, a lightning serpent rushed directly into the Buddha Land at Li Su's fingertip.
He shuddered slightly, a look of surprise on his face. This could actually replenish spiritual energy?
Li Su, who had originally planned to have everyone retreat first and let Master Yuming hold them off while they went to find a solution, suddenly didn't want to leave anymore.
He was really hungry!
Leaving aside the Dao Fruit, his Buddha Land, because it was nourishing the Dao Fruit in his mind, is now only the size of a finger and is in dire need of spiritual energy.
"Roar!"
It seemed that it had failed to kill Li Shi, and the thing inside became completely enraged, roaring once more.
This time, not only was the heavenly lightning drawn, but a roar also pierced the sky and struck towards Li Shi.
"Ah!"
Li Shi's face turned green. He was just a privileged second-generation rich kid; he had never seen such miraculous methods before.
"Master!" Madam Qian couldn't help but exclaim.
Li Su smiled, his eyes narrowed, and he softly chanted a Buddhist mantra. He stretched out his palm, and a palm-sized Buddha Land began to appear, floating in the void and suppressing all the space in front of the courtyard. The thunder and the roar were frozen in place and then directly sucked in.
He smacked his lips. The energy was good, but the only regret was that there wasn't enough. It wasn't as satisfying as killing demons, where he could extract their essence and flesh.
Why don't we just go in, suppress that thing, and take it away?
We won't kill anything that isn't a demon or monster. Since it's located in Buddha Land, rendering some oil from it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Fellow Daoist, I entrust the Li Residence to you. I must devote all my energy to slaying demons!"
Before Li Su could make a move, the voice of Master Yuming came from the backyard. He could also sense the situation in the front yard. While feeling lingering fear, he realized that he had come to exorcise demons, but ended up killing a member of the Li family with his sect's Thunder Method. What kind of person was that? He immediately lowered his pride and spoke up.
Li Su thought for a moment and immediately agreed. After all, suppressing it would still require a lot of effort, and if both sides went all out, absorbing the damage from the outside wouldn't be bad either. " Amitabha Buddha, alright, please be careful, True Person."
"Don't worry, this beast can't harm me! Five Thunder Righteous Method!"
With a roar, Master Yuming unleashed an even greater thunderclap in the sky, with lightning bolts dancing wildly, engulfing almost the entire several hundred square meters of the Li Residence's backyard—clearly, he had gone too far.
"Roar!"
Faced with Master Yuming's actions, the roars from the backyard grew louder, as if they had been thoroughly provoked and gone mad.
The roar was like a demonic sound, penetrating everywhere and seeping into every nook and cranny, each sound piercing the ears and tearing at the soul.
Li Su was alright, but the people in the Li Residence were in great distress. Regardless of which force it was, it was extremely harmful to the living soul.
Even if it wasn't a demon or evil spirit, one still felt their soul like a drum, being struck.
Li Su was delighted. He increased the suction power of his Buddha Land, enveloping the entire front yard, and kept sucking and sucking. He felt that if these two could fight for a day and two nights, his Buddha Land might be able to return to its previous state.
"Roar!"
Unfortunately, ideals are often grand, but reality is often harsh.
The creature inside was completely enraged. What had been a mere contest of strength from a distance suddenly moved. It stopped howling and charged out, biting down.
"Canines?" Master Yuming was stunned. Seeing the figure rushing out, he realized that dogs, as humans' best friends, rarely become demons. They usually develop into Spirit Beast unless they harbor great resentment.
Despite his thoughts, Master Yuming quickly unleashed the fundamental law of Dragon Tiger Mountain, the Golden Light Mantra.
roar!
With a roar, the dog demon bit down.
With a snap, the indestructible Golden Light Mantra turned into a crunchy mess, bursting open with a huge hole, scattering golden fragments everywhere.
Master Yuming was immediately astonished. What kind of teeth were these? They were incredible! His Golden Light Mantra was harder than steel.
Furthermore, this thing has little effect on Thunder Method; it is not a demon, nor even a living being of flesh and blood.
Sensing how troublesome and ferocious this thing was, Master Yuming dared not be careless. He raised his hand, and a talisman appeared.
"Six Ding and Six Jia, twelve divine generals, protect my safety!"
As soon as the talisman was activated, divine light shone brightly, and the Six Ding Gods and Six Jia Gods appeared in the void. Their divine power descended, transforming into layers of protection that enveloped Master Yuming. Not only was their power immense, but they also manifested divine might within them.
This is no ordinary magic; it's true Daoist magic. Ordinary little demons, let alone touching it, would be terrified just by seeing it, revealing their true forms and their souls would be scattered.
Dragon Tiger Mountain gives the impression of rarely using talismans, not because they don't know how, but because most of the time the opponent dies before they can even use them.
In fact, the Three Mountains Talismans, as the foundation of Daoism, are a terrifying force in the Orthodox Unity, which consists of these three leading figures. They possess orthodox Daoist lineage, are recognized by higher authorities, and have connections in the celestial realm.
The power of the summoning spell is incomparable to that of those rogue cultivators; it is at least eight times greater.
However, it was clear that the dog demon wasn't buying it. With a roar, it charged forward and took a bite.
As a canine, its superhuman abilities are naturally beyond question; it's unmatched at biting things.
The most famous of them is undoubtedly Heavenly Dog Howling Heaven and eats the sun and the moon.
So, all that could be seen was a gurgling sound.
The Six Ding Six Jia protective armor cracked instantly. Not only that, but what horrified Master Yuming was that cracks also appeared on the statues and shadows of the gods he had summoned, as they had been bitten by this dog demon.
This is just a mud monkey!
So fierce? What kind of dog is this? What exactly did the Li Residence offend? Master Yuming was shocked. He wasn't completely ignorant; otherwise, how could he have been sent down to the mortal realm alone? On Dragon Tiger Mountain, he was a true genius.
The Six Ding and Six Jia are divine generals, Orthodox God of the Heavenly Court. It's not that biting through their defenses is a big deal; they even managed to bite their images. This biting skill is undoubtedly a supernatural power, and a great one at that.
Biting his finger, Master Yuming retreated while taking out a talisman.
"Twenty-eight constellations, four duty officers, please descend upon me!"
In an instant, the power intensified, and golden light shone brightly from Master Yuming's body, dyeing the entire Li Residence golden.
"Thunder God and Lightning Goddess, come quickly!"
With a wave of his hand, countless lightning snakes Master Yuming by thunderous sounds. Master Yuming, like a deity, directly engaged the dog demon in battle in the void.
Faced with Master Yuming's seemingly endless methods, the dog demon's response was quite simple: it ran incredibly fast, biting whatever it could get its hands on.
The golden light collapsed.
Thunder, collapse.
Even the divine shadow has been bitten into cracks.
Faced with this scene, everyone in the front courtyard of the Li Residence was extremely shocked. Li Shi immediately knelt down, his little eyes seeming to say, "Father and Mother, come out and see God quickly."
Li Su, on the other hand, became increasingly benevolent, exuding a sacred, almost sickeningly sweet aura. At first, he thought even a mosquito was still meat, but as the two sides began to fight, the spiritual power they wielded became astonishing.
Especially the image of the deity that had been torn to pieces by the dog demon— Li Su's eyes practically turned green with envy. The Spiritual Qi was simply too abundant. In that instant, not only had the Buddha Land been restored, but the two Great Dao Fruits in her heart and mind began to beam with joy and excitement.
The Lotus Dao Fruit couldn't help but tremble, tinkling as if composing music.
The Nascent Soul Dao Fruit cultivator hopped and sang, it was a pity there were no gongs or drums, otherwise he would have definitely made a lot of noise.
Unfortunately, his good fortune didn't last long. Master Yuming's outburst was undoubtedly fierce, fully demonstrating the prestige of a disciple of the Way of the Celestial Masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain. If it were any demon or monster, even one of the thousand-year-old level, it would probably be reduced to ashes. Unfortunately, he was facing a dog demon that was completely immune to his demon-subduing power, and its biting ability was extremely ferocious, capable of tearing apart even a divine shadow.
no way!
Feeling his internal Dao Fruit gradually depleting, he feared that if things continued this way, he would become a dog's meal, which would be somewhat embarrassing.
"May our ancestors possess us!!!"
Don't misunderstand, invoking the ancestor to possess one's body is not unique to Mao Mountain, but can be done by all three mountains.
Nonsense! As a true Daoist, protecting one's own is only natural. How could someone who descends to the mortal realm just stand by and watch their disciple be killed? Usually, those who get killed are self-proclaimed Daoist hermits from the mountains.
Even saints, those who follow the Daoist teachings, will protect their own!
Greater Purity said that he only had one disciple and would not be included in the Investiture of the Gods.
Jade Purity said that my twelve disciples would face a calamity and that I needed to find others to withstand it.
Supreme Purity said that all my disciples were dead, so let's start from the beginning, from the creation of the earth, fire, wind, and water, and from the creation of the Primordial World.
The goddess said, "I went through so much trouble to create a bunch of children, and even got three sages to establish a religion. How dare you Demon Race kill my children? You want to die, don't you? Well, Nuwa isn't a demon. Sages don't have a race, but humans are undoubtedly the goddess's children!"
Therefore, the Demon Race collapsed!
Therefore, the patriarch of Dragon Tiger Mountain also descended, arriving very quickly, seemingly sensing the crisis facing his disciples.
" Heavenly Dog?"
Upon arriving at that moment, the ancestor frowned, somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected to encounter the legendary Heavenly Dog, a creature from ancient times, though it seemed to be a spirit rather than a living being.
Even if it is a spirit, it is still a being with the great supernatural power to devour the Sun-Moon Sect. Erlang Shen, the True Lord of True Lord, kept one by his side, and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven still craves dog meat from time to time because of its biting.
Turning his head to glance at the surrounding divine figures, the old ancestor grinned, feeling a pang of heartache.
The divine shadow is not the true form of the Heavenly Court, but rather the vessel used for offerings at Dragon Tiger Mountain. The Six Ding and Six Jia, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, and the Four Duty Officers are all damaged. How long will it take to repair them?
Immediately, the patriarch became quite angry. "This junior is a good-for-nothing! How dare you touch the Heavenly Dog? You spendthrift!"
He easily dodged the Heavenly Dog's attack, but the patriarch was furious. Did he think it was easy for his sect to have some trump cards?
Um?
Suddenly, the patriarch's eyes flickered, sweeping downwards—or rather, the front courtyard of the Li Residence. He then laughed, "Yo ho, bald monk, stealing my Daoist Spiritual Qi! Do you think my Daoist sages are dead?"
Huh?
Just as he was thinking of striking that bald monk down with two thunderbolts, the ancestor suddenly froze. His realm was so astonishing that he was no longer a mortal being, but had descended from above. So, he immediately saw the chubby baby in Li Su's head bouncing around.
Daoist Dao Fruit? Or Fundamental Fruit? What's going on? After the Journey to the Journey to the West a hundred years ago, the Daoist and Buddhist Sect were groups that could fight each other to the death. Dual cultivation of Daoism and Buddhism? That's wishful thinking.
He couldn't resist the urge to pinch his fingers, and the next moment, thunder roared in his heart, and even the Dao Fruit in the sky trembled.
The old ancestor was startled, a rare look of horror appearing in his eyes. What's going on with this guy? He actually has such a huge karmic connection?
We can't afford to mess with them.
Sensing that the other party had powerful connections, and that these connections were even greater than his own superiors, the old ancestor's anger vanished instantly.
If it were back then, such practice wouldn't be wrong, since Buddhism is the essence of Daoism.
But little guy, since you've absorbed the Spiritual Qi of my Dragon Tiger Mountain, then you're considered one of my people. Honestly, you clearly possess the fundamental qualities of Dragon Tiger Mountain, so why go to the Buddhist Sect? Wouldn't it be better to be a Daoist Celestial Masters?
Well, I guess even the little guy couldn't control himself, since he was really into it...
The old patriarch's eyes flickered, as if he had sensed something again. He raised his hand and pointed at Li Su, laughing, "Young friend, your disciple has caused a lot of trouble. I'll trouble you to lend a hand. I just did some calculations and found that you and my Dragon Tiger Mountain are destined to meet. I will pass on a technique to you as a reward."
As he moved, a ray of golden light pierced through the air and entered Li Su's mind directly.
What the heck???
In the front yard, Li Su, who was standing and watching the performance, couldn't help but widen his eyes. What was that old Daoist priest doing?
Before he could speak, the Dao Guang emanating from Master Yuming vanished, and he immediately regained consciousness, showing no trace of his ancestor.
At the same time, the dog demon that had been frantically chasing and biting Master Yuming suddenly turned around and ran straight towards Li Su.
With both new grudges ( against Master Yuming ) and old hatred (for blocking it from killing Li Shi earlier), the dog demon went berserk. Its mouth opened wide, becoming far more ferocious than when it dealt with Master Yuming, seemingly intending to swallow Li Su whole, bones and all.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
At this moment, Li Su couldn't help but shout. He naturally felt the other party asking the ancestor to possess him. To be honest, his heart was still pounding a little, afraid that the other party would find out that he was fleecing the sheep of Dragon Tiger Mountain.
As it turned out, the other party's subtle glances not only revealed that he had been cheated, but also gave him a bonus.
Can you calculate it by counting on your fingers?
What's the difference between the Daoist practice of calculating with their fingers and the Buddhist Sect practice of "you and I are destined to the Buddhist Sect"?
Li Su was furious, almost exploding with rage. Had Dragon Tiger Mountain set its sights on them?
Seeing the charging dog demon and the utterly panicked Li Su, the crowd was clearly unaware of Li Su's thoughts. They couldn't help but gasp, especially Master Yuming face showed extreme anxiety. How could this be? Why couldn't the Ancestor subdue that dog demon? Was it really that powerful?
"Master, watch out!!!" Madam Qian couldn't help but shout.
This bald monk is doomed! Even the True Person of Dragon Tiger Mountain couldn't handle him, so what are these Pure Land Sect bald monks? Li Shi thought to himself.
Oh no! The dog demon suddenly changed direction. The Li Residence is doomed. Li Qi sensed something was wrong, after all, they were all standing not far from Li Su.
Thump!
With a loud bang, the dog demon bit down on Li Su's arm. Its eyes narrowed, filled with savagery, and it began shaking its head frantically. Don't misunderstand, it was tearing; it was trying to rip Li Su's arm off.
But why don't I smell blood? Instead, I have a slight toothache. It must be my imagination, it's Heavenly Dog, what can't it bite?
Then it started shaking its head vigorously, again and again.
Standing there dumbfounded, confirming that the patriarch of Dragon Tiger Mountain had completely left, Li Su's face, which could charm the world, immediately darkened.
Feeling the pain in his arm, after all, it was Heavenly Dog, and its biting power was quite effective. Even with Li Su's Vajra Strength protecting him, which was powered by the Buddha, a bit of skin was still bitten through.
"Have you had enough?" Li Su lowered her head, squinted her eyes, and looked fierce.
He naturally couldn't afford to offend the patriarch of Dragon Tiger Mountain. He felt he had been burdened with a karmic debt, which was already quite distressing. Yet, at this distressing moment, a wretched dog dared to bite him?
The dog demon finally realized something was wrong, because it couldn't bite through the skin; it had used all its strength and only managed to break a tiny scratch.
With his anger subsiding slightly, the dog demon couldn't help but look up at Li Su, giving her a rational assessment for the first time.
The next moment, its face froze.
It wasn't that Li Su's appearance was familiar; it had seen too many of those ordinary faces.
The main issue is what's behind them!
But there was a vast world, filled with boundless Buddhist light and waters of merit covering the mountains and plains. There were arhats chanting and nuns reciting scriptures.
Buddha Land???
The dog demon was quite perceptive; its tail instantly shrank back, and its face turned purple.
Wasn't it said that when the Way of Heaven is not revealed, no new Buddhas or immortals will be born in the world? Even if they do descend, they won't stay long. So what kind of monster is this before me?
Immediately, it tried to tuck its tail between its legs and flee back to its original form, not wanting its spirit to be suppressed.
It is both reckless and foolish, and stubborn. After all, in ancient times, one of our ancestors dared to bite a monkey, and the other dared to bite the Sun-Moon Sect; they were both fierce dogs.
But it's not stupid!
The dog demon let go and turned to run away.
Before he could even take a step, Li Su grabbed him by the waist. "You think you can just leave after biting me?" The Buddha Land opened its doors and suppressed him.
Aww!
With a loud cry, the dog demon did not hesitate to use its sect's special ability to cut off its tail in order to survive!
Li Su's narrowed eyes suddenly became even more menacing. One or two of them, they all have gecko DNA? Did they get authorization? And are you even made of flesh and blood?
The overflowing Vajra Strength solidified the void, while the bursting Dragon Division Strength seemed to roar like a divine dragon suppressing the spirit. Unlike Master Yuming's methods, which primarily focused on exorcising evil, Li Su's supernatural powers and spells, while also exorcising evil, were all methods of suppression and exorcism. In other words, domineering was the primary approach, while exorcism was secondary.
The dog demon let out a mournful howl, and before it could even use its life-saving skills, it was completely suppressed and directly taken into the Buddha Land.
Upon entering, one Buddha Land bursting forth with supreme power, its light like fire, its merit water seeping in, and Arhats and Bhikkhunis simultaneously raising their hands to make pots, stewing dogs!
Awooo! Awooo! Awooo! Awooo!
Two words: absolutely terrible!
Not bad, 14,000 words.
