Chapter 147: Riot at Jin'an Temple (Part )

Last time, we talked about how Yu Jiu extinguished all the lights in Jushan Pavilion, and the attic became unusually dark. So what will happen next? Let's read on.

Chang Qing looked at Yu Jiu, whose eyes glowed red, in astonishment. He took a half step back and shouted, "You are not a human! You are a demon! You are an evil spirit! How dare you come to my Jin'an Temple to cause trouble? Do you really think that there is no one in my temple? Where are the monks who protect the temple? Come and wipe out the demons!"

As soon as Chang Qing finished speaking, there was a uniform "Hah!". More than thirty monks who were guarding the temple rushed into the hall. The monk Fase who was previously injured by Li Yi was among them. He was one of the five monks holding the demon-subduing pestle, while the other monks all used sticks that reached their eyebrows.

Seeing so many monks coming in, Li Yi patted Yu Jiu on the shoulder and said, "Go light the lamp in front of the Buddha, then kneel in front of the Buddha statue and watch carefully."

Yu Jiu asked, "What are you looking at?"

Li Yi replied: "Don't you want to learn how to fight?"

Yu Jiu suddenly realized what was going on and immediately ran to the lamps in front of the Buddha statue. He rubbed his fingers together and lit two lamps. After lighting two lamps, he knelt in front of the Buddha statue and shouted to Li Yi, "Master, I'm ready. Let's start!"

While Li Yi and Yu Jiu were talking, Fase was also communicating with Chang Qing. Fase said, "Uncle Master, he is the one who injured me at Qingniu Temple! He knows the Vajra Divine Art of our Buddhism, and can even invite the Acalanatha Bodhisattva!"

Chang Qing glanced at Li Yi and said coldly: "No matter how he stole the Vajra Divine Art, the fact that the master and servant caused trouble in Jushan Pavilion should not be forgiven easily. You are no match for him, so use the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation!"

Fase exclaimed, "Vajra Subduing Demon Formation? Uncle Master, are you serious?"

"Nonsense! Subdue him first, then slowly interrogate him and see how he can secretly learn my Buddhist skills! And that child, don't be fooled by his harmless appearance, he is clearly possessed by an evil spirit, with a gloomy aura! You five monks should deal with the big one first, and then deal with the small one!"

Fase bowed and said yes. Li Yi smiled at Fase and said, "Your injury healed very quickly. Why do you still want to be beaten?"

Fasè slammed the demon-subduing pestle in his hand onto the ground and shouted, "Five Dharma monks! Form a Vajra Demon Subduing Formation! The rest of the temple guarding monks will attack the formation!"

All the monks answered in unison: "Yes!" First, five monks holding demon-subduing pestles surrounded Li Yi, and then the martial monks formed a circle outside.

Li Yi smiled and said, "So Buddhism also has formations, the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation. Well, let me see what kind of formation this is! Don't blame me for bullying the weak!" As he spoke, Li Yi summoned the ten-foot-tall image of Acalanatha. Except for Fasese, the other monks were all stunned.

Chang Qing shouted, "Don't panic. This boy secretly learned our Buddhist martial arts, which is considered treason! Today, the monks must capture him, make him kneel before the Buddha and sincerely repent, and then become a monk to recite scriptures day and night to atone for his sins!"

"Yes!"

While they were boosting morale, Yu Jiu on the other side was getting impatient waiting, and he shouted, "What are you doing? Fight! The young master is finally trying to teach me how to fight, hurry up! Don't just stand there! Fight!"

All the monks looked at Yu Jiu, who was frightened by their sharp looks and said weakly, "It's okay, leave me alone, just continue! I won't make any more noise!"

The monks then turned their attention back to Li Yi, who stretched out a finger and used the rolling door magic skill, "Come here!"

The five monks pressed their pestles to the ground at the same time. Suddenly, golden light lit up in the hall. A pentagonal formation appeared with the five pestles as the vertices. The Sanskrit symbols in the formation rotated slowly. The five monks each absorbed the golden light in the formation, and their whole bodies turned from yellow to gold and then shone.

Li Yi nodded and said, "Oh, it turns out to be an enhanced version of the Vajra Divine Art, Vajra Divine Art Plus, quite interesting! Let me try it first! It's you!" He punched the monk closest to him, and the sound of metal and stone colliding was heard, but the latter did not move at all. Li Yi said angrily, "Fortunately, I didn't try it with my own hands, otherwise I would have been numb from the shock!"

Fase smiled and said, "Donor Li, this Vajra Subduing Demon Formation does more than just increase the power of the Vajra Divine Art!"

At this time, the magic circle was already stable. The five monks picked up the demon-subduing pestle and began to besiege Li Yi. Due to the limited space, Li Yi could only rely on the powerful defense of the Acala Dharma Image to withstand it. This situation was quite familiar to him, that is, getting beaten. However, as the saying goes, put on pants first and then shoes, be a grandson first and then a grandfather. After being beaten many times, you will naturally know how to get beaten less!

It was unknown whether it was the Vajra Magic that activated his body, or whether it was Li Yi's bloodline that awakened, or whether it was because he said he wanted to teach Yu Jiu how to fight, so how could it be considered teaching if he was always passive? In short, Li Yi fought back and forth with the Five Dharma Monks in the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation, but of course, he was beaten more often.

Fasè saw that he could not be subdued by the Vajra Power alone, so he immediately shouted, "Seal!"

The five monks simultaneously pulled back to their original positions, one hand pounded the demon-subduing pestle on the ground, the other hand formed a seal, and then simultaneously raised the seal high and shouted: "Vajra Subduing Demon Seal!"

Li Yi looked up and saw a swastika seal appear above his head and then smash down. He gathered the strength of his six arms to catch the seal, while the five Dharma monks simultaneously thrust their pestles at Li Yi. Li Yi immediately retracted his arms, clasped his palms together, and recited the last Sanskrit mantra of the Diamond Sutra, then shouted: "Great and Mighty Acala! Immovable as a mountain!"

The golden light shone, followed by the sound of a bell. Ding! Li Yi used the Dharma image of Acala to resist the five monks' Demon Seal and Demon Pestle. At this time, he was fighting against the five monks alone, and he was not at a disadvantage! Although the five monks were golden, the blue veins on their heads and arms could still be seen. It was obvious that the five monks had tried their best but still could not win. Seeing that it was difficult to win by force alone, Fa Se immediately shouted: "Cast a spell!" Then he took back the Demon Pestle, pinched the Dharma Seal with his hand, and shouted: "Se!"

The other five Dharma monks also performed the same actions, but the hand seals and the words they shouted were different. "Feeling!" "Thinking!" "Action!" "Consciousness!"

The five Dharma monks shouted in unison: "The five aggregates are empty!"

The Sanskrit symbols in the formation suddenly accelerated their rotation, and a golden barrier appeared and continued to squeeze Li Yi from all directions, causing Li Yi great pain. Now it was no longer a simple competition of strength. The five monks wanted to use Buddhism to suppress Li Yi on a spiritual level!

At this time, Li Yi was on the verge of collapse. He forced himself to hold on and kept his hands clasped together and said, "The five aggregates are empty, right? I don't know which sutra you read about the five aggregates being empty, but I also have a sutra about the five aggregates being empty! Since you want to compete with Buddhism, let's give it a try!" As he said this, he began to recite the Heart Sutra:

The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, who walks deep prajna paramita for a long time, sees the five aggregates in emptiness and saves all suffering.

Relics, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true for feelings, thoughts, and awareness.

The sarira is the empty form of all dharmas, neither born nor destroyed, neither defiled nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing.

……

Therefore, we know that the Prajna Paramita is the great mantra, the great bright mantra, the supreme mantra, the unparalleled mantra, which can eliminate all sufferings, and it is true and not false.

So the Prajna Paramita mantra is said, that is, the mantra says: Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi Svaha.

Just as Li Yi was reciting the Heart Sutra, the golden statue of Avalokitesvara in the Mercy Hall in the front yard suddenly lit up with Buddha light, and then the golden statues of the other three Bodhisattvas also lit up with Buddha light. Everyone in the hall was shocked to see the Bodhisattva appear, and they all kowtowed and bowed! However, the reclining Buddha statue in the main hall of Jushan Pavilion was as steady as an old dog and had no reaction. In an instant, four golden lights merged into the hall and illuminated the reclining Buddha statue. Yu Jiu was full of surprise, and had no idea what was going on.

At this moment, Li Yi's consciousness suddenly came to the spiritual platform. The person opposite whom he couldn't see clearly was Guanyin Bodhisattva. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could still feel that he was smiling!

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva smiled at Li Yi and said, "This is the Heart Sutra that you kept privately. Why don't you keep it hidden? What's the meaning of reading it out now?"

Li Yi bowed and said, "Disciple has seen the Bodhisattva. If I hide any longer, something bad will happen. This Vajra Subduing Demon Formation is really powerful. Disciple has just fought two battles. If I continue to resist, I am afraid I will lose."

Guanyin Bodhisattva laughed and said, "You kid, you always want to take advantage, and you always want to take advantage of Buddhism! Why don't you use Confucianism and Taoism?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Confucianism and Taoism don't have any means of fighting, but they have many means of scolding people. When it comes to fighting, we Buddhists are still better!"

The Bodhisattva shook his head and laughed, "You just rely on your broken mouth! All right, I'll accept the scripture, and I'll teach you the Great Bright King Mantra."

Li Yi said awkwardly: "Om Mani Padme Hum? I, the disciple, know the six-word mantra of the Bodhisattva!"

The Bodhisattva laughed and said, "What's the use of just knowing it? You only know the idea but not the meaning!" As he spoke, Guanyin Bodhisattva flicked his hand and a drop of golden water flew towards Li Yi.

When the golden water drop touched Li Yi's forehead, it was like a drop of water falling into calm water, except that it was slowed down hundreds of times. Li Yi's mind was originally calm, but at the moment when this drop of golden water fell, a big hole was smashed into the water surface. The water drop bounced up, and then fell again. Every time it fell and hit the water surface, the water drop would become smaller. After several reciprocating times, the water drop finally completely merged into the water surface, and at this moment the entire water surface was lit with golden light!

Li Yi's consciousness returned to reality. Golden light spread from his eyes to his entire body. He stepped on the ground with one foot and shouted, "Om Mani Padme Hum!" A golden magic circle appeared under his feet, with the Sanskrit words of the Six-Character Mantra inside. As the characters rotated, the magic circle grew larger and larger, and it actually included the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation of the Five Monks.

The five Dharma monks and a group of martial monks were also shocked. However, before they could react, Li Yi stepped on the ground again and shouted: "Om Mani Padme Hum! Disperse!" With a hum, the magic circle dispersed as the ground shook! The five Dharma monks and a group of martial monks were all shocked back several steps, and some even fell and knocked over several mourning halls. Li Yi broke the formation.

Although everyone was shocked by what happened just now, Yu Jiu was the only one who was not moved. Instead, he was very dissatisfied! He shouted: "Master, what are you asking me to learn? I don't understand anything! How can I learn this!"

Chang Qing was frightened when he saw the five most powerful monks in the temple were defeated. When he heard Yu Jiu's call, he immediately rushed to Yu Jiu, wanting to use him to threaten Li Yi! Chang Qing was so close to Yu Jiu and so fast that Li Yi had no time to rescue him. Just when he was about to capture Yu Jiu, Yu Jiu suddenly disappeared!

Li Yi was also shocked, thinking: What's going on? Who did it? The Buddha? No, the Buddha has not arrived yet, and the Bodhisattva has just left, so who could it be?

At this time, Yi Ling's voice came: "What a monk who advises people to be good, how dare you do such a despicable thing in front of the Buddha!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yiling standing on the beam of Jushan Pavilion, supporting Yu Jiu. The latter was obviously afraid of heights and held Yiling's arm tightly.

Li Yi raised his head and shouted, "Yiling, are you alright?"

Yi Ling laughed and said, "Do you think that my years of hard training in the mountains were in vain?"

Chang Qing pointed at Yi Ling and shouted, "Are you from the Taoist sect trying to interfere in the affairs of my Buddhist sect?"

Yi Ling sneered: "You dare to call yourself a Buddhist when you attack a child!"

Li Yi glared at Chang Qing, who instantly felt a chill. However, before he could react, Li Yi had already arrived in front of him and kicked him out. Chang Qing smashed the door and crashed directly into the tower furnace! With a clang, Chang Qing vomited blood and fell to the ground, unable to stand up again. Li Yi jumped out of Jushan Pavilion and stood in front of Chang Qing, who begged for mercy: "Donor, spare me! Donor, spare me!"

The monks surrounded Li Yi and shouted, "Donor Li, you are also a Buddhist. Do you want to kill my Buddhist disciples in front of the Buddha and in this quiet place?"

Li Yi glared at Fasè and questioned, "A quiet place? A Buddhist monk? Five Dharma monks, your Jin'an Temple keeps property for the aristocratic families, forcibly occupies the monks' land, offers a thousand taels as alms for the mourning hall, and even uses the name of the Buddha to defraud money, making the Buddhist temple full of the smell of money. You also call this a quiet place?
