I steal from the heavens

Chapter 186 Leiyin Temple

The Lantern Buddha was tied to the ground, looking at Li Gu and the others in panic. "Who are you guys? With this level of cultivation, how did you escape the cleansing of the Conferred God Tribulation?"

Li Gu ignored it, turned to Kong Xuan and said, "Master Ming, let's go into the temple."

Kong Xuan saw that the Lantern Buddha, who had been making waves in the west for more than 1000 years, was reduced to a prisoner in this way.I can't help dreaming back to Fengshen, and I feel deeply.

"It's a pity that several benefactors were not able to appear on the battlefield of conferring gods. If you existed, maybe you could change the situation of the battle... Amitabha, it's a poor monk who has a picture."

He shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and waved, the gate of Leiyin Temple opened.

Kong Xuan led Li Gu and others into it, and the sound of chanting sutras in the temple was endless.There is also the fragrance of flowers, which makes people feel refreshed.

The dome of the temple is inlaid with the seven treasures of Buddhism such as glass, crystal, coral, red beads and agate.The seven treasures emit colorful rays of light, which flow over the Leiyin Temple.

On the four gold brick walls, there are many seats.On each platform, there is a golden arhat sitting cross-legged.It was supposed to be full, but now there are hundreds of empty seats.

The fruit seats of the Bodhisattvas are on both sides of the main hall. Li Gu also saw the three acquaintances here, and nodded to them.

The fruit position of the Buddha is on a higher step, which is more than half empty at this time, which is very obvious.

Of course, none of this matters.The person Li Gu wants to see is the big golden Buddha sitting on the highest place - Tathagata Buddha.

Tathagata Buddha saw Li Gu entering Leiyin Temple and showed a kind smile. "Your Majesty, you are finally here."

Li Gu was a little surprised to see the Tathagata Buddha showing his favor in this way. "You know I'm coming?"

The Tathagata Buddha explained: "As early as more than 1000 years ago, the sage Nuwa issued a decree to let the Buddhas of the Western Heaven fully assist you. It's just that in the past, the Buddha and others, relying on the support of Lao Tzu and the sage, ran amok in the Western Heaven. The old monk also If there is more than enough but not enough strength, in order not to split the Buddhism, we can only let him go."

He wanted to say that he was from the old Chan sect, but then he thought that Manjushri Bodhisattva and others had already surrendered to him.It’s not easy to talk about the teaching anymore, I can only talk about the Buddha and others in the past.

Li Gu glanced at all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Western Paradise, and found that there were quite a few of them with higher cultivation than him.In terms of actual combat, only Kong Xuan and Tathagata Buddha can fight against him in Leiyin Temple.

"Seeing as your strength is not weak, didn't you participate in the Battle of the Gods?" Li Gu couldn't help but ask.According to the saint's rules, he should have to walk around with his strength.

Tathagata Buddha smiled and said: "The four characters Tathagata Buddha are the dharma title of the Lord of the Western Heaven. Before becoming the Lord of the Western Heaven, the old monk also had other dharma titles. Moreover, the old monk participated in the battle of conferred gods Yes. It's just that I don't have the chance to see His Majesty's heroic appearance, beheading a saint with a sword."

Li Gu's heart is like a mirror, and the Tathagata Buddha is not yet a saint, and he cannot escape the reset of the heaven.These are probably what Nuwa or Taishang Laojun told him.

"Where is the old gentleman?"

The Tathagata Buddha smiled and shook his head, "If Your Majesty is looking for the Supreme Lord, you have come to the wrong place. The Supreme Lord has never stepped into the Western Heaven, so why is he here? If Your Majesty came to find Yang Jian and Master Yuding, the master-student pair , came to the right place.”

Li Gu heard and understood the meaning of Tathagata Buddha, that it was not the Taishang Laojun himself who sent Daoist Yuding and Yang Jian to the West Paradise, but someone else.

Where did the old gentleman hide?Did he really hide in the mortal world?
Li Gu temporarily put aside his doubts, "Where are my master and younger brother?"

There was a flash of astonishment in the eyes of Buddha Tathagata, he did not expect Li Gu to be the apprentice of Daoist Yuding. "Don't worry, your majesty. The two benefactors, Master Yuding and Yang Jian, have entered the Seven Treasures Lotus Pond. The pond contains the eight treasures of Buddhism, which can soothe the soul and heal injuries..."

Li Gu interrupted, "Are my master and junior brother injured? According to you, they are seriously injured?"

Tathagata Buddha sighed slightly, "The soul of the real person Jade Cauldron was seriously damaged and was already stupid when he was delivered. Yang Jian's cultivation was completely ruined, and his bones were pulled out..."

Yao Ji covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Erlang..." She felt that all her strength had been drained from her body, and she almost fell to the hall.Fortunately, Yang Chan supported her, and asked again: "Buddha, can my mother and I go to see the second brother?"

Tathagata Buddha did not respond, but looked at Li Gu.

Li Gu also wanted to go and meet them in person, but he couldn't bear it.When I think of Taishang Laojun's vicious methods, I can't help but feel angry.

"Alright, you guys go and have a look. I... won't go, I'll visit after I catch the culprit, Taishang Laojun."

Guanyin Bodhisattva left his seat and stood up, "Buddha, let the poor monk lead them there."

Tathagata Buddha nodded, "The Lotus Pond of the Seven Treasures is in the back mountain, but there is a vajra guarding the mountain, and outsiders are not allowed to enter it. It happens that Guanyin Bodhisattva will lead you there, and it will open the door of convenience."

Guanyin Bodhisattva led the mother and daughter of the Yang family, two dragon girls and Xiaotiangou to the Seven Treasures Lotus Pond in the back mountain.

Acha, Xiaoyu and Xiao Mengqi didn't care about Yang Jian, so they chose to stay by Li Gu's side.By the way, there is also the Lantern Buddha tied into rice dumplings.It's just that he stood aside, not daring to speak.

Li Gu knew that there was only one clue left to find Taishang Laojun. "Tathagata, who is the person who sent my master and junior brother to the Lingshan Mountain in the West Heaven?"

Tathagata Buddha considered it for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, do you know that the saint Lao Tzu has a closed disciple?"

Li Gu suddenly realized, "Master Xuandu?" That's right!I only remember the golden and silver boy of the Taishang Laojun, how could I ignore this Laozi's direct disciple!
"Where is he? But he is still in the West?"

Tathagata Buddha shook his head and said, "The benefactor of Xuandu has secretly left Xitian a long time ago. Your Majesty may not be able to catch up now."

Hearing this, Li Gu asked with a sullen expression on his face: "Tathagata, what do you mean? You knew that I was hunting the Supreme Lord, yet you let Xuandu go?"

Tathagata Buddha smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please be calm and don't be impatient. Please look at this thing." He stretched out his big golden hand, and in the palm lay a bloody remnant of clothes.

"This is the clothes of the benefactor of Xuandu. With this item in hand, His Majesty can use the Dao of Heaven to calculate his general position. No matter how much he conceals the secret, it will be useless."

Li Gu took over the remnant clothes, and saw that the blood stains on them were old, not new. "In this case, it is not too late, then I will not disturb you."

He hurried away, and immediately turned around and flew away from Leiyin Temple with Acha and the three daughters.Leading the gods and millions of heavenly soldiers and generals, they left the Western Paradise together on the clouds.

After Li Gu and others left, the Tathagata Buddha stared at the Lantern Buddha and said vigorously: "The Buddha in the past, because of your own selfish desires, you tried to involve the entire Buddhist sect and start a war with the heavens. Once you do what you want, the three realms will be devastated. You know the crime ah?"

The lamp-burning Buddha spat, "Duobao, stop being so pretentious here. Are you also using outsiders to eradicate dissidents? A successful king loses a bandit, and a poor monk has nothing to say."

Tathagata Buddha laughed and said: "This statement is wrong. This deity is different from you. It is following the order of the sage and submitting to His Majesty the Supreme Supreme True Emperor. You are doing this for rebellion. This deity is just taking advantage of the situation , Just to maintain the unity of Western Heaven."
