The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 234 Left Way and Right Way

The so-called Wangshan ran dead horse, although they could see Montenegro early, but when they really got close to Montenegro, it was already evening.

In front of Montenegro, there is a big river called Huan River, which is more than fifty feet wide.

Originally, for Li Mu and the others, even if they didn't use the flying technique, they could just jump over.

But to travel around the world, you have to go step by step and measure the earth with your feet, which is meaningful.

So on this journey, Li Mu and his party walked on foot, and crossed the river by boat. Unless it was really impossible to cross the place, they would use mana.

Because the place they can't cross means that ordinary mortals can't cross it, and it's meaningless to insist on walking.

When we arrived at the pier by the river, we saw a ferry boat moored by the pier, and the boatman was coming up with the rope.

The little monk Zhizhu took the initiative to step forward and said to the boatman: "Boater, please work hard again and send us across the river."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of copper coins from his sleeve and handed it to the boatman.

The boatman looked at Li Mu and the others, then at the stack of copper coins, and said helplessly to Zhizhu: "Little master, if you come earlier, I will have no problem."

"But it's getting late now, even if I have money, I don't dare to earn it. You guys should come back tomorrow!"

Zhizhu asked puzzledly, "Why?"

The boatman pointed to the Huoshaoyun in the west, and said: "Look, little master, the sun is setting and the ghosts and ghosts are starting to laugh. I'm sending you across the river now. I'm afraid you will never return!"

Hearing his words, Zhizhu burst out laughing immediately, "If it's because of this, you can rest assured, the boatman, my mage and the two protectors all have magical powers, and if they are harmful to people, they will be eliminated. "

Originally, Zhizhu thought that the boatman would show reverence after he said this.

But in fact, the boatman didn't respond. Instead, he said: "I have crossed the river. There are many heroes, monks and Taoists. They all said so, but it's a pity that they all became last words."

"Even the sword god Feng Qingtian, who is famous in the Central Plains, returned home a few years ago, and still dare not set foot on the Black Mountain again, and he is the only expert who left the Black Mountain alive."

"I see that you are not very old. Even if you are a true practitioner, how much magic power do you have? Let's wait until tomorrow morning to talk about it!"

Zhizhu said unconvinced: "No, we..."

"Zhizhu." Li Mu stopped Zhizhu's words, and said, "The boatman is also doing it for our own good, so we don't need to make things difficult for others, let's cross the river by ourselves!"

"Yes, Master." Hearing this, Zhi Zhu had no choice but to put away the copper coins, and walked back behind Li Mu.

The boatman was surprised when he heard the words: "How are you going to cross the river? Is it swimming?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and didn't say much, just walked straight forward, followed closely by Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing Zhizhu.

The boatman stared wide-eyed, watching the scene in front of him in disbelief.

After walking to the edge of the pier, a group of four people didn't stop. Instead, they jumped up and jumped onto the water surface, and just stepped on the water surface, continuing to move forward as if they were walking on flat ground.

The boatman was stunned, and muttered to himself in astonishment: "Why do you need to take a boat if you have this ability?"

Ignoring the boatman's astonishment, the four of Li Mu walked on the waves, just walked across the Huan River step by step, and walked along the path along the river bank.

The sky quickly darkened, and the Black Mountain became even more pitch-black, eerie and terrifying, like a prehistoric giant crouching here.

Bai Suzhen looked at the lofty mountains in the distance, and saw that the mountains and forests were surrounded by clouds and fog, full of ominous atmosphere.

Gein lingered in the mountains and forests, all of which were filthy auras such as death, evil, and evil, and there was also a reddish black aura that she couldn't recognize.

She frowned slightly, and said, "It's so filthy, and there's that reddish black smell, I don't know what it is."

Li Mu raised his eyelids and said, "That's demon energy."

Bai Suzhen and the others were taken aback, and Zhizhu said nervously, "The mage said that there is a devil here?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "Judging from the characteristics of the devil's energy, it should be a monster who sucks the blood of living people and cultivates the way of the devil. He uses the body of a monster to practice the way of the devil. He is a pure monster."

"These monsters are much more powerful than ordinary monsters. If Xiaobai and you haven't practiced Buddhism, you may not be the opponent of this monster. Xiaoqing and Zhizhu are not one-shot enemies."

Xiaoqing said in shock: "It's so powerful, so the catastrophe of those silk merchants may be fulfilled on this Black Mountain."

Li Mudao: "Nine out of ten."

While talking, the group turned a corner, and Bai Suzhen and the others all showed surprise.

On the river beach tens of feet ahead, there were two figures facing each other at a distance of three feet. Both of them held long swords in their hands, and they were surrounded by a bright yellow aura.

Bai Suzhen said: "It seems to be someone from the Taoist sect. Could it be that they are here to subjugate demons? Why are they confronting each other?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "If you ask in the past, you will know."

Before a few people walked in, the two people who were facing each other shouted loudly and rushed towards each other.

"Clang clang clang... chi chi..."

In an instant, the weapons collided, and the sword energy overflowed. The cultivation base of the two people was not weak, and they were both Taoist monks who had condensed the golden core.

Several people stood still tens of feet away, watching quietly. They didn't understand the situation, so they couldn't rush to intervene.

Unexpectedly, the two of them were tossing and turning, and they actually called towards them.

Seemingly noticing the existence of several people, the mana between the two of them was restrained, condensed on the magic sword in their hands, and would not be released again.

Li Mu and Bai Suzhen didn't make any noise, because with their cultivation base, they could easily suppress these two Taoist cultivators.

Xiaoqing and Zhizhu secretly guarded against being accidentally injured.

When the two hit three or four zhang away from Li Mu and his party, their swords restrained each other, they raised their empty hands, and slapped each other, striking each other.

After a muffled sound of "bang", the two of them slid back two feet and stood still, posing their sword formulas and said in unison: "Monk, tell me, which of the two of us is better in martial arts?"

After saying this, the two stared at each other, and said in unison: "Oh, I ask you to ask?"

After speaking, he picked up the magic sword again, and was about to rush towards the opponent.

Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, it seemed that the two had no enmity, they just wanted to compete.

And the appearance of the two is almost exactly the same, the only difference is that one has a beard and the other has a goatee.

Li Mu has basically understood that this is a pair of twin brothers who are not convinced by each other.

So he said: "Can you two stop first?"

Only then did the two give up, and the man on the left said: "If you give up, let it go. Tell me first, whose martial arts is better?"

The person on the right also said: "Monks don't tell lies, don't act against your conscience!"

Xiao Qing covered her mouth with a chuckle, turned her body, leaned into Li Mu's ear and whispered, "I don't think it's all that bad?"

The corners of Li Mu's mouth curled slightly, but he didn't follow Xiaoqing's words, but said: "In the eyes of the poor monk, both martial arts are good, and they are evenly divided."

This is not a lie, but a sophistication of the world.

In the eyes of the two, this evaluation is fair, because they themselves know it well.

But there was no winner, they were obviously dissatisfied, so the person on the left said again: "Then whose posture is better?"

"puff"

Xiao Qing couldn't help laughing, and Li Mu also said in a funny way: "Both of you are good, each has its own merits."

Another tie, still unable to tell the winner.

The person on the right immediately asked: "Then who has a more handsome appearance?"

"Uh..." Li Mu's head was full of black lines, he turned his head to look at Bai Suzhen, and asked, "What do you think?"

Bai Suzhen suppressed a smile, looked at the two of them solemnly, and commented: "In terms of handsomeness, the Taoist priest on the right is the one on the right, but the Taoist priest on the left is very heroic, and the two have their own advantages, so they cannot be compared. "

The two of them were astonished immediately, Qi Qi gave a thumbs up and said in unison: "Master has a good vision."

The teacher's wife was not abrupt, because although Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing had not shaved their heads, they both had their hair shaved, and they were considered fully ordained nuns.

Coupled with their attire, only those who are knowledgeable can tell that they are actually teachers.

If someone from the Taoist school takes a fancy to them, maybe there will be a situation where "the bald donkey dares to snatch the teacher from the poor Taoist".

And these two Taoists are obviously knowledgeable.

"Kukuku..."

Xiaoqing couldn't stop laughing, her face was flushed, and her shoulders couldn't help shaking.

The Taoist on the left said in admiration: "We have known each other for 30 years, and we have been fighting for 20 years. We have never seen such a principled notary."

The person on the right continued: "It seems that we have to fight for another 20 years. In the next 20 years, we will also trouble you and this teacher to be our notaries."

Li Mu said with a smile: "This time, the poor monk traveled around the world with his left and right Dharma protectors and novice attendants. One is to gain experience and understand the world of mortals, and the other is to subdue demons and demons, and save the world and save the people. Therefore, it is impossible to stay in one place."

"If you two want us to be your notary, you have to go with me. As long as you don't mind the difference in Taoism, the poor monk naturally doesn't care."

The Taoist on the left said with a smile: "Hey, what a coincidence, the purpose of the two of us is the same as yours. Since we are both fighting demons and eliminating demons, helping the world and saving the people, why should we be divided into Taoism and Buddha?"

Li Muxin happily said: "Amitabha, you are so good, the two Taoist priests are truly righteous people, and the poor monk admires them."

"The poor monk Fahai is the abbot of Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang on Liangzhe Road. He did not ask the two priests for their names."

The Taoist on the right said in amazement: "Monk, at such a young age, you are already the abbot?"

Li Mu smiled without saying a word, and the person on the left said: "It doesn't matter whether you are a monk, an abbot or an ordinary monk, it is fate that we can meet here, and we make you our friend."

"The two of us are outer disciples of the Zaoge Mountain Lingbao Sect. My name is Xiang Zuo, and people call him Zuo Dao. He is my brother and senior brother. His name is..."

"Hey, I'll say it myself." The Taoist on the right stared at the left, interrupted him, and then said to Li Mu: "My name is Xiang You, and people call you Daoist."

Not to mention Xiaoqing this time, even Bai Suzhen couldn't help laughing, but she quickly said: "The titles of the two priests really have... personality."

Xiang Zuo said complacently: "Many people say that."

"Hehe." Li Mu laughed awkwardly and said, "I don't know why you two are competing here?"

Leaning to the left and right, he said dissatisfiedly: "We came here to subjugate demons. Not long ago, we fought a monster that sprayed snow and sealed people here. Unfortunately, some people didn't have a tacit understanding and were run away by the monster."

Xiang You sneered back: "Obviously someone was dereliction of duty, so the monster ran away, so we compete here to decide who is the general and who is the deputy."

Hearing what Xiang You said, Xiang Zuo hummed, turned his head arrogantly, folded his arms around his chest, and looked up at the sky.

"A monster that sprays snow and seals people? Could it be a snow demon?"

Li Mu said thoughtfully: "This Black Mountain is not the perennially frozen environment of Tianshan Mountain, so there must be an extremely cold place in the belly of this mountain."

"As long as we can find this place, we can wipe out all the monsters."

Xiang Zuo's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's right, why didn't we think of it?"

Xiang You said contemptuously: "Even if you think about it, do you have the means to find that place?"

Glaring to the left, he said: "Nonsense, what method do you want, just find a cold place?"

He said to the right: "You're just talking nonsense. You said it's in the middle of the mountain. How can we find it outside the mountain? Even if there is an entrance and exit, but Montenegro is so big, isn't it looking for a needle in a haystack?"

Xiang Zuo said: "Finding a needle in a haystack is better than nothing!"

Seeing that the two of them were arguing endlessly, Li Mu quickly interrupted: "You two, let's not talk about meaningless words, let's go up the mountain first and then argue, how about it?"

He snorted to the right and said, "Okay, I'll give the monk some face, let's go!"

Li Mu and the others looked at each other and all smiled. They will no longer be bored along the way.

……

Xiang Zuo: "There are two dilemmas in the world. It is difficult to ascend to the sky, and it is even more difficult to ask for help."

To the right: "There are two dangers in the world, Huashan is dangerous, and people's hearts are even more dangerous."

To the left: "There are two kinds of thinness in the rivers and lakes, the spring ice is thin, and the human relationship is even thinner."

To the right: "There are two bad ways in the Taoist altar, the right way is bad, and the left way is even worse."

To the left: "There are two roads in the world, the Yangguan Road and the single-plank bridge."

To the right: "You have no culture, you don't know shit."

Xiang Zuo: "You don't have knowledge, just talk nonsense."

All in one voice: "Master Monk, who are you talking nonsense?"

Along the way, the left and right said you and me, and said words that seemed to be nonsense, but in fact they made a lot of sense.

The two competed with each other, if you say a sentence, I must follow up, making Bai Suzhen and the others sometimes thoughtful, sometimes dumbfounded.

There is no way to comment on this, but Xiaoqing pointed to the two forked roads ahead and asked: "There are two roads ahead, the left is the road, and the right is also the road. Which one do you think you should take?"

"Xiaoqing, you..." Bai Suzhen couldn't laugh or cry and gave Xiaoqing a blank look, knowing what kind of virtue these two guys are, you are still so provocative.

Sure enough, the two walked side by side to the fork in the road, pointing to the right road: "I said take the right road."

To the left is the way: "I said go left."

Glaring to the right and to the left, he shouted: "The right way."

Staring back to the left, he shouted, "Left."

Bai Suzhen persuaded gently: "You two priests, there is no way in the world, if there are many people walking, it will become a way, and the way is made by people."

"Since there are people walking on both roads, whichever one we take will be the same!"

Xiang Zuo said unconvinced: "But those who leave are divided into good people and bad people."

Then he said to the right: "So there are good roads and bad roads. The right road is a good road, and the left road is a dead end."

To the left: "The left road is the main road, and the right road is the small road."

Xiang You said angrily: "Go to your mother's way, if you talk too much, I will send you on your way."

How could Xiang Zuo be used to him, so he grabbed the hilt of the sword with his hand.

Li Mu watched the play with Xiaoqing and Zhizhu overjoyed. Anyway, they knew that they couldn't fight with Bai Suzhen around.

But this time Bai Suzhen hadn't spoken to persuade her, a loud shout suddenly came from the two roads: "Don't make noise."

In fact, Li Mu had already discovered the situation ahead, but he just didn't say it.

What kind of threat can a group of mortals pose?
He just wanted to see what these mortals wanted to do.

After the loud shout, a group of people rushed out from the two roads.

This group of people held a variety of weapons in their hands. The three leaders held single swords, broad axes, and maces respectively. They all wore bamboo armor and looked quite professional.

Xiaoqing smiled and said to the two on the left and right: "Master Dao, it seems that the two roads are not good roads!"

The two looked at each other, turned around, and glared at the group who rushed out.

The one holding the ax among the first three shouted loudly: "I told you not to make noise."

Holding a single knife, he said: "It's okay not to quarrel, but don't move."

The one carrying the mace continued, "We are bandits, here to rob."

Putting his hands on his hips to the right, he said, "What are you talking about? You want to rob us?"

Xiang Zuo said: "What kind of thieves do you think you are?"

The big man with the mace said dissatisfiedly: "What thief? Where are you now?"

The man with the knife said: "If you are at sea, we are pirates."

The man with the ax said: "But you are on the mountain now, so we are bandits."

Listening to each of them talking about cross talk, Xiaoqing answered in a playful way: "Anyway, no matter where it is, it's robbery."

The three big men quarreled and looked at Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen with obscene smiles on their faces. The big man holding the ax said: "Young lady is right, it is robbery, not only robbery, but also sex."

Xiang Zuo looked at the bandits disdainfully, and said: "You are really stupid when you come to rob us. I think you are not bandits, but stupid thieves."

"Stupid thief? Hahahaha..." The three big men at the head laughed wildly, then stopped suddenly, glared at the few people and shouted: "Give it to me, kill all the men, catch the women and enjoy them."

"Kill it!"

Seeing this, the two people on the left and right said in unison: "Count up how many of them there are."

As soon as Li Mu heard it, he understood that these two guys must first count the number of each other, and then see who kills more, so as to determine the winner.

However, Li Mu didn't intend to let them decide who was the general and who was the lieutenant, because he wanted both of them to be lieutenants.

So he immediately shouted: "Bold evildoer, dare to do harm to the world, the mighty Tianlong."

Hitting a group of mortals would be superfluous even using mana, so naturally there is no need to recite the mantra, and chanting "Dawei Tianlong" is just to establish the character and increase the power.

Li Mu jumped up immediately after drinking this, and then patted it down with his palm.

"hold head high"

"Boom bang bang..."

A golden dragon roared out, circling in the crowd, all the bandits vomited blood and threw them flying, and fell silent after landing.

"hold head high"

Jin Long looked back at the two people who were frozen in place, opened his mouth and let out a dragon roar, then flew into the sky, flew to the top of Li Mu's head, turned down, and sank into his body.

Li Mu slowly floated down to the ground, clasped his palms together, and proclaimed: "Amitabha, sin is sin."

The two on the left and right turned their heads with stiff necks, and looked at Li Mu in a dazed manner. Obviously, his move scared the two of them a little.

Swallowing to the right, he said in a creaking voice, "He...Master, don't Buddhist disciples don't kill?"

Xiang Zuo said: "They are human beings, not monsters."

Li Mu said solemnly: "Buddhism also has methods of anger-gazing Vajras and subduing demons. In the eyes of poor monks, anyone who harms people's lives and has karma is considered a monster."

"The poor monk kills to protect life, to kill karma is not to kill people, and to punish evil is to promote good, Amitabha."

As soon as the Buddha's name fell, golden light radiated from his body, and a circle of light behind his head was like a big sun, illuminating this mountain forest as bright as day.

Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, and Zhizhu were full of fanatical admiration, and raised their palms together, or joined together, and proclaimed the Buddha's name in unison: "Amitabha."

The eyes of the two on the left and right were even wider, their eyes were full of inconceivable expressions. They naturally knew what the ring of light behind Li Mu's head was.

And when they heard the phrase "Killing is to protect life, killing karma is not killing people", both of them were shocked, and there was a gleam of understanding in their eyes.

It turns out that he kills evil people to protect good people. What he wants to kill is karma, not the person himself, so he does not count as violating the precept to kill.

He has always been a bit of a mixed bag, but at this moment he is rare and solemn.

The two of them bowed deeply to Li Mu and said in unison, "Master, be merciful."

The golden light on Li Mu's body receded, and the light wheel at the back of his head, which represented the realm of immortality and Buddha, also slowly disappeared.

He stepped forward to help the two of them up, and said: "Please stand up, both of you, in order to subdue demons and subdue demons, you will not hesitate to risk your own life, isn't it a kind of mercy?"

After the two got up, they looked at Li Mu with a lot of emotion, and said to the right: "It's really unexpected that my two brothers can make friends with a living Buddha. It's very fortunate."

Xiang Zuo sighed and said: "Before I took one monk at a time, the master was not angry if I was disrespectful. I really deserve the heart of a Living Buddha."

Li Mu laughed, and said: "The poor monk is a monk, the Taoist priest did not make a mistake, what kind of anger is he?"

Hearing what Li Mu said, the two admired them even more, and made up their minds to go on the same road with Li Mu and the others.

They don't care about different ways and do not seek each other. Walking with a living Buddha, what they can learn is immeasurable.
