Chapter 942 Duanmu Huai's Nuclear Explosion at Lion Camel Ridge, Two Bodhisattvas Were Beaten with Iron Fists
Here Duanmu Huai and Sun Wukong passed the Huoyan Mountain and continued forward. They came to a mountain range and walked inward. Suddenly, they saw an old man holding a dragon-headed cane, walking down the hillside behind the tree. When he saw the two of them, he shouted.
"Elders heading west, please stop riding your horse for a while and hold the reins tightly. There is a group of demons on this mountain that have eaten all the people in the world of Yamafu. You can't go forward!"
"Oh."
Hearing what the old man said, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.
"Monkey, go and invite the old man."
"Okay, Master."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Sun Wukong also laughed and walked in front of the old man. The old man was frightened when he saw Sun Wukong and raised his legs to run. But he was grabbed by Sun Wukong and couldn't move.
"Hey, old man, what are you talking about? Why don't you speak more clearly?"
"Oh my, where did this thunder god come from? Let me go!"
Seeing Sun Wukong, the old man trembled all over and closed his eyes. At this time, Duanmu Huai came on horseback and glanced at the old man.
"I don't know which immortal is playing tricks here. Why don't you show your true self and explain it clearly?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the old man also smiled bitterly, then turned his body and turned into Taibai Jinxing, and bowed to Duanmu Huai.
"As expected of a holy monk, you are so accurate. To be honest, this mountain is called the 800-li Lion Camel Ridge. There is a Lion Camel Cave in the middle. There are three demons in the cave, and they have great magical powers. There are 5,000 demons under his command on the South Ridge, 5,000 on the North Ridge, 10,000 at the East Crossroad, and 10,000 at the West Crossroad. There are 4,000 to 5,000 patrols, and 10,000 gatekeepers. There are countless people burning fires and collecting firewood. A total of 47,800, all of which have name tags and are here to eat people."
"Humph, Li Changgeng, stop fooling people."
Seeing Taibai Jinxing, Sun Wukong also got excited and grabbed him.
"If there are 40,000 to 50,000 man-eating demons in this Lion Camel Ridge, how many people will they eat? Where are there so many people around here for them to eat?"
"Great Sage, you don't know."
Taibai Jinxing was also amused.
"There is a Lion Country nearby. The demon ate the king and the officials of the city five hundred years ago. He also ate all the men and women in the city. He took over his kingdom. Now there are all demons there."
"Oh........."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes and stared at Taibai Jinxing.
"Such vicious people, you actually don't care?"
"I want to care, but I don't have much ability. The three demons are all powerful. The Jade Emperor once sent 100,000 heavenly soldiers to surrender, but the king changed his Dharma body, opened his mouth and swallowed them all at once. The heavenly soldiers were scared and dared not fight, so they closed the South Heaven Gate."
"...Are your heavenly soldiers all made of paper?"
Duanmu Huai was speechless. Sun Wukong had a riot in the Heavenly Palace and fought against 100,000 heavenly soldiers. Here, a demon in Lion Camel Ridge opened his mouth and ate another 100,000...Your heavenly soldiers are not good enough.
Hmm? Isn't it right?
"When that monkey made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, didn't you ask Tathagata to suppress it? Why can't the monsters here be suppressed?"
"Hehehe... This is a long story. The holy monk doesn't know that among the three monsters, one is a green-haired lion and the other is an old elephant with yellow teeth... They are the mounts of Manjusri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattvas. And the big peng golden-winged eagle is even more unusual. It is born from the same mother as the mother of Buddha, Peacock Great Mingwang Bodhisattva... So... Hehe..."
"To put it bluntly, you don't want to provoke those people who chant scriptures."
Duanmu Huai immediately understood what Taibai Jinxing meant. It's okay to be a Bodhisattva mount. Duanmu Huai killed one in the Black Chicken Kingdom. The life story of the big peng golden-winged eagle is indeed unusual. Of course, this has to do with their mother, the Phoenix. Everyone knows how powerful the Phoenix is. Later, the Phoenix got the energy of intercourse and gave birth to the peacock and the big peng. When the peacock was born, it was the most vicious and could eat people. It could eat people in one bite after walking forty or fifty miles.
Then the peacock swallowed the Tathagata at that time.
After being swallowed by the peacock, Tathagata wanted to come out through the side door, but it was too dirty. So he cut open the peacock's back and came out to Lingshan. Tathagata wanted to kill the peacock, but was dissuaded by other Buddhas. Considering that he did come out of the peacock's belly, he recognized the peacock as the Buddha's mother.
The Dapeng who was blocking the way was born from the same litter as the peacock. In terms of seniority, it can be regarded as Tathagata's aunt.
The three monsters were all from Lingshan, and the Heavenly Palace lost 100,000 heavenly soldiers. It's no wonder that they didn't dare to cause trouble again...
"In short, please be careful, the holy monk and the great saint, I'm going."
After delivering the message, Taibai Jinxing patted his butt and slipped away. Duanmu Huai just stared at the direction where Taibai Jinxing escaped, but sneered after a moment.
"Oh? Why are you laughing, Master?"
"I am laughing because the Lingshan Sutra seems to be useless. Manjusri and Samantabhadra are both Bodhisattvas. As their mounts, they want to eat people as soon as they come down to earth. What kind of sutra did they recite? The Sutra of Eating People? If it is such a sutra, won't it bring disaster for thousands of years if we take it back?"
At this point, Duanmu Huai retracted his gaze and looked at Sun Wukong.
"Monkey, Master wants you to do something."
"Oh? What is it, Master?"
"You are good at transformation. I want you to transform yourself and go to the Lion Camel Ridge to find out how the monsters are distributed here and where the Lion Camel Kingdom is. It would be best if you can find a place that overlooks the entire Lion Camel Ridge and the Lion Camel Kingdom, and then come back to report to me."
"That's no problem, but Master, do you really want to fight those 40,000 little demons?"
"Go ahead, I have my own way."
After hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Sun Wukong also flashed, changed, and went up to the sky. After another half a day, he returned.
"Master, this Lion Camel Ridge is really amazing. There are mountains of skulls and forests of bones. Human hair is shredded into felt pieces, and human flesh is rotten into dust. Human tendons are entangled in trees. It is really a sea of blood and corpses. I don't know how many people these monsters have eaten."
"Oh, what about Lion Camel City?"
"It is even more of a monster place. Thousand-foot pythons surround the city and ten-thousand-foot long snakes occupy the road. The four gates are guarded by wolf spirits, and monsters are everywhere."
"Okay, I know, what about the place you choose?"
"This Lion Camel Ridge is steep, but it is not difficult to find the peak. As long as you reach the top of the mountain under Master's feet, you can see the whole picture."
"Okay, let's go, it's not bad to see the scenery."
"???"
Looking at Duanmu Huai's indifferent answer, Sun Wukong was puzzled. On weekdays, Master would be murderous just by hearing that the monsters ate a few people. Why did he feel like he didn't care about eating so many people today?
Although he was confused, Sun Wukong still followed Duanmu Huai to climb the mountain. The mountain here is steep, and the rocks stand up like spears. If it were an ordinary person, he would not be able to climb up. However, Duanmu Huai did not care about this little thing. He said nothing and just climbed up. It took a day and a night for the master and his apprentice to climb to the top. Looking around, there are towering mountains and steep ridges all around, and the city in the distance is surrounded by dark clouds and smoke. If you just want to see the scenery, it is a good place.
"The scenery here is nice."
Duanmu Huai put his hands behind his back, looked for a moment, and nodded with satisfaction. Sun Wukong looked at him curiously.
"Master, what's the point of spending this time just to climb this mountain?"
"To see the scenery."
"This scenery is really good, but... what else?"
"Hehe, it will be better later."
Duanmu Huai hummed a song while talking.
"I don’t want to set the world on fire... I just want to start a flame in your heart..."
Sun Wukong stood aside, listening to Duanmu Huai humming the off-tune song, but he didn't know what sutra he was reciting, so he kept silent. Then he saw Duanmu Huai slowly raised his right hand, holding it in the air, and pointing it forward.
"Saint monk, don't do it!"
At this moment, a shout came from the sky. Sun Wukong looked up and saw Manjusri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattvas coming on the clouds, looking anxious.
"We are here to help you subdue the demons in accordance with the will of the Buddha...!"
However, before they finished speaking, they saw Duanmu Huai just glanced at them and spoke.
"I don't wanna set the world on fire, honey." (I don't want to set the whole world on fire, honey)
"I just wanna start a great big flame down in your heart." (I just want to light the blazing flame in your heart)
Then, Duanmu Huai clenched his right fist.
The next moment, the sky and the earth changed color.
The shining light instantly bloomed from the earth, instantly covering everything around. Even Sun Wukong, who had the eyes of fire, turned his head and closed his eyes. The eyes that were not afraid of the flames of Taishang Laojun did not dare to look directly at the dazzling white light, but saw that a huge mushroom cloud rose slowly where the white light passed, the earth shook, the wind raged, the entire Lion Camel Country and the Lion Camel Ridge were crushed and destroyed in this infinite power, the scorching flames and high temperatures swept everything, and the 800-li Lion Camel Ridge collapsed directly and razed to the ground.
Countless wailing and screaming were heard. When they looked further, they saw that under the rising mushroom cloud, there were no cities or mountains, and not even a blade of grass was left.
"Hiss............!"
When they saw this scene, even Sun Wukong couldn't help but take a breath. At this moment, Manjusri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattvas also fell to the ground, sighing.
"It's a sin, it's a sin. I came here to subdue the demons and monsters according to the order of Tathagata, but I couldn't see them destroyed. Those three monsters were entangled in sins, and they should have been taken back to Lingshan to practice."
"Practice."
Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at the two Bodhisattvas.
"These three monsters have eaten countless people here. How can they be exempted from sin by practicing? Tathagata is really doing this business. If this monster escapes and eats people again in the future, who will be responsible?"
"If so, how can you go to Lingshan and obtain the true scriptures with such killing?"
"No need for you to worry about it."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai clenched his fists and stared at the two people.
"You two indulged your mounts in the lower world to commit crimes and eat people. You deserve to die. Today, I will avenge the innocent souls who died unjustly, and enforce justice on behalf of heaven. Let your souls fly away and never be reborn! After that, I will go to Lingshan again to find Tathagata for an incurable crime, and die well!"
Accompanied by a roar, Duanmu Huai jumped out, raised his fists and blasted at the two Bodhisattvas Manjusri and Samantabhadra!
