The heavy rain is pouring, watering the earth.
Sizzle!
When heavy rain pours on the long-dry land, smoke rises from the hot land.
It was raining heavily and shrouded in smoke. People were cheering and shouting with pious expressions that the Buddha has appeared and the Bodhisattva has appeared.
Looking at the cheering people, Li Zhige shook his head and said nothing.
The girl Caihong stared blankly at the green shirt that protected her from the heavy rain, and then at the cheering villagers and elders around her. For a moment, she began to feel dazed.
It was clearly this immortal who caused the heavy rain, but the villagers and elders gave the credit to Buddha and Bodhisattva. Are Buddha and Bodhisattva really spiritual?
The rain poured on the girl, soaking her whole body.
Looking at the green-shirted immortal beside her who was shielding from the rain, the girl Caihong opened her mouth and asked in confusion, "Immortal, why don't you make it clear to the villagers and elders that this rain is caused by you, not by the appearance of Buddha or Bodhisattva."
Li Zhige looked at the girl and chuckled, "This rain is just to thank you for the bowl of water. It wasn't me who saved the people of Yangdi, let alone the Buddha and Bodhisattvas who saved the people of Yangdi." It’s your bowl of water, girl, and your kind and shining heart.”
The girl wanted to say something, but Li Zhige raised his hand to stop the girl.
Ahead, the earth was churning and cracking.
A strange-looking monster with fiery red scales, thick smoke coming out of its body, and flames breathing out of its mouth emerged from the ground. It raised its neck and looked at the rain falling from the sky with a ferocious expression. It slapped its two claws on its chest and let out an angry roar.
"Monster!"
"Let's go!"
The moment the monster appeared, the people panicked and started running westward, screaming.
This fire demon originally lived underground. It had no intention of hurting people or causing drought, but its existence was destined to cause drought within a thousand miles radius.
The fire demon didn't know that the heavy rain was caused by Li Zhige, but it was instinctively disgusted by the heavy rain and made it feel very uncomfortable.
The fire demon looked at the panicked people running to the west with a ferocious expression. It opened its mouth and spit out flames, leaped high and pounced on the crowd.
Seeing that the fire demon was about to hurt someone, the girl Caihong became anxious and hurriedly said to Li Zhige, "Please ask the immortal to subdue the demon and not let it hurt the villagers. Afterwards, Caihong will explain the truth to the villagers and build a temple for the immortal. Offer incense to the immortals every year.”
Li Zhige shook his head, "Unfortunately, you said that I will also let this monster be killed. I just built a temple to offer incense. It is just a waste of money and people, and I don't need your incense offerings."
After speaking, Li Zhige flicked his broad sleeves, and an inexplicable suction force enveloped the fire demon who rushed towards the crowd.
This fire demon was born in war and man-made disasters. It has a strong body and the magical power to control flames since it was born. Ordinary monks will probably not be able to subdue this fire demon, unless it is an immortal.
Li Zhige is not an ordinary immortal, but a true immortal who has eliminated the false and retained the true, and condensed the laws.
Li Zhige had too many methods to deal with this fire demon and could easily kill him.
The universe in the sleeves unfolded, and an inexplicable suction force came out to absorb the fire demon. This is the first time that Li Zhige has used the great magical power of Qiankun in his sleeves. He doesn't know how powerful it is, but it is obviously not something that a fire demon can resist.
The Universe in the Sleeve is Zhenyuan's special magical power, which involves the mysterious and unpredictable space avenue. If the Universe in the Sleeve is used by Zhenyuan himself, it will be easy to capture the stars and the whole world. Li Zhige's Taoist cultivation is too far behind Zhenyuan Immortal, but the world in his sleeves is unfolding in his hands, which is quite impressive. Although he cannot capture the stars and the universe like the Immortal Zhenyuan, he can capture mountains and rivers, capture a city, and capture hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals without much problem.
The fire demon was captured and was about to be put into Li Zhige's sleeves. Once it was in Li Zhige's sleeves, the fire demon could not escape no matter how powerful it was.
At the moment when the fire demon was about to be captured by Li Zhige, a sacred and powerful energy suddenly descended, and immediately after, a green willow branch struck towards Li Zhige's wide sleeves, breaking the An inexplicable suction force rescued the fire demon.
Above the sky, dark clouds suddenly opened, and the heavy rain suddenly stopped.
The dazzling golden light shines on the earth. Under the golden light, the country and the city are captivated. A dignified and holy woman sits on a lotus platform. She is dressed in a plain robe, with a jade pure vase in her left hand and a willow branch in her right hand. She looks sacred and inviolable.
The woman sat high on the lotus platform, cast her compassionate eyes towards the earth, and said in a majestic voice, "Brother Taoist from Wuzhuang Temple, this fire demon is destined to be my Buddha. Please be merciful, brother Taoist, and don't kill in vain."
On the ground, the panicked people all stopped. They looked at the beautiful woman sitting on the lotus platform high in the sky. They all knelt down with excited expressions and shouted loudly, "It's Bodhisattva! It's the Great Merciful and Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva!" Guanyin Bodhisattva appears! Bodhisattva appears and comes to save us!”
Under the golden light, two figures seemed out of place amidst the excited shouts of the crowd.
The girl Caihong was in ragged clothes and skinny. Her hair was wet and she looked at the Bodhisattva sitting on the lotus platform high in the sky, full of confusion. The folks in Yangzhai prayed to the Bodhisattva for several months, but the Bodhisattva did not appear. The immortal made heavy rain, and when they were about to kill the monsters, the Bodhisattva appeared and rescued the monsters from the immortal.
Are Bodhisattvas really compassionate?
At this moment, too many doubts arose in the girl's heart, and her inner faith collapsed inch by inch.
Li Zhige stood on the ground and looked at the woman sitting on the lotus platform high in the sky. He felt inexplicably unhappy in his heart. Why does Guanyin always look so aloof? Is the equality of all living beings preached by Buddhism ultimately empty talk?
This was the second time Li Zhige saw Guanyin.
High in the sky, Guanyin, who was sitting on the lotus platform, also saw Li Zhige. Her peaceful expression changed somewhat, but her voice remained majestic, "It's you, you evil beast!!!"
Guanyin didn't pay attention just now. She thought it was the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain who were subduing demons. After all, the universe in the sleeves is the unique magical power of Zhenyuan Immortal.
But when his eyes turned to the earth, Guanyin was shocked to find that the one who displayed the universe in his sleeves was not the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple, but Li Zhige, the one who slaughtered the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain and had a causal relationship with the victorious Buddha.
With his eyes fixed on Li Zhige, Guanyin Bodhisattva's expression became even more astonished.
More than two hundred years ago, Guanyin Bodhisattva met Li Zhige once in Lishan Mountain. At that time, Guanyin Bodhisattva did not take Li Zhige seriously because at that time, Li Zhige was just a monk in the fairyland and was not worthy of Guanyin Bodhisattva. focus on.
Later, Sun Wukong went to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea to find Guanyin Bodhisattva. Guanyin Bodhisattva learned that Li Zhige slaughtered the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain and formed a life-and-death feud with Sun Wukong.
Guanyin Bodhisattva had deduced the whereabouts of Li Zhige, but she did not deduce it. She believed that the Virgin Wudang had concealed the secret for Li Zhige.
See you again two hundred years later. Li Zhige's cultivation has increased dramatically. In more than two hundred years, he has crossed three realms and cultivated the body of a true immortal.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Guanyin Bodhisattva said with a majestic look, "I wonder who it is, it turns out to be you, you evil beast! You evil beast, you have done too much to kill, yet you haven't come with me to Lingshan to repent and wash away your sins!"
Li Zhige looked at Guanyin sitting on the lotus platform high in the sky, and said with a calm face, "Bodhisattva, this is only the second time we meet. I have never offended your Buddhist sect. Is it too much for you to scold me as an evil beast?" , or do you think I can be bullied?"
