The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

Zen Master Baimei used to carry a string of prayer beads in his hand, which were the Muni Dingguang Beads, and he gave them to Li Yingqiong.

The purple gold bowl was given to Chen Yan, and the brocade cassock was given to himself.

Zhu Youmu remembered that there were two psychic eagles in front of his master's seat, one white and one black. The black eagle was also given to Li Yingqiong, and no one knew where the white eagle had gone.

He then asked, "Where is the white eagle now? After Master left, I will only depend on him for my life."

"I have already arranged for the white eagle, you just need to take care of yourself!" Master Baimei instructed, "After I leave, you must take the precepts as your teacher, recite the Buddhist scriptures diligently, and practice less supernatural powers! You are not allowed to find another place of practice elsewhere. Find a place in this half of Shihu Mountain to practice in seclusion for at least ten years. During these ten years, you cannot see anyone. If you can keep your mind pure and free of worries, you will be reunited with me in the future."

He knew that Zhu Youmu would definitely not follow his plan in the future. Even if Zhu Youmu wanted to do it now, there would naturally be bad fate in the future that would make him deviate from the track...

If everyone can follow the best path, everyone can achieve success. It takes only half a lifetime to become a Buddha.

Unfortunately, it is easy to kill external demons but difficult to subdue internal demons. It is easy to break internal connections but difficult to resolve external connections. With pressure from both inside and outside, karma is strong and pushes people in a bad direction.

The world of mortals is a boundless sea of ​​karma, and spiritual practice is like rowing against the current, two steps forward, five steps back. No matter how grand your original intention is, you will inevitably sink in the end.

Zen Master Baimei knew that it was useless to say more, so he stopped talking and explained everything that needed to be said, then prepared to pass away.

Atong came over and sat cross-legged in front of his seat, just like the boy Sudhana attending the Bodhisattva. In their minds, pure thoughts followed one after another, and every thought was of Amitabha Buddha. In an instant, Amitabha Buddha led thousands of Lotus Pond Bodhisattvas to come and lead the master and disciple.

Although they are the same Buddha and the same Bodhisattva, the master and disciple have different levels of practice and causes and conditions, so they see different things.

Zen Master Baimei was a person of the highest grade of rebirth. He saw the true bodies of Buddha and Bodhisattva, which were countless in number and came to receive him with the Vajra Lotus Platform.

Zen Master Baimei ascended the Vajra Lotus Platform and arrived in the West. In an instant, the flower blossomed and the Buddha appeared. He then became a great Bodhisattva on earth.

Atong was a middle-level rebirth, and what he saw were the incarnations of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Amitabha Buddha gave him a seven-treasure lotus platform. After he got on the lotus platform, he was reborn in the West. He had to wait for seven days before the flower bloomed and he saw the Buddha, thus attaining the first fruit of Sotapanna. He had to spend another half a kalpa in the Pure Land before he could attain the fruit of Arhat.

After the two left, Zhu Youmu held the brocade cassock left by his master, feeling inexplicably sad. His mood was too complicated. He was reluctant to leave his mentor, resentful that his master looked down on him, and also angry about the rumors... All kinds of emotions intertwined together, making his face changeable, but at the same time, he felt inexplicably relieved in his heart.

When the master was around, he was in charge of him and made him observe various precepts.

Now that the master is gone, he is the head of this lineage. He can do whatever he wants, and no one can nag him or control him anymore!

Turning back, he saw old man Sibi.

Old man Sibi had not left yet. He witnessed the entire process of Zen Master Baimei's arrangements for his funeral and his final ascension to paradise, and was deeply shocked.

He originally had some affinity with Buddhism. He had collected various Buddhist scriptures on his own to gain enlightenment. He also thought about taking Zen Master Baimei as his teacher so that he could completely convert to Buddhism and achieve enlightenment.

He had also imagined that one day he would be led by Amitabha and ascend to heaven...

This desire to become a Buddha had just arisen and was still brewing when he saw Zhu Youmu's unfriendly gaze.

“Old devil! Master and the two divine monks have taken away the evil spirit attached to you and eliminated the evil thunder that caused your murder. Why are you staying here instead of leaving? Are you trying to take revenge on me?” Zhu Youmu said coldly, “If you have a little wisdom and good karma, you should immediately return to your Divine Sword Peak, recite the scriptures and chant the Buddha’s name, and regret your mistakes. Ten years later, remembering your fate with Buddhism, I will wear this brocade cassock and go to save you on behalf of Master…”

Old Man Sibi interrupted him with a sneer: "Who do you think you are? The White-Eyebrowed Monk is here, and I respect him a lot. How dare you say such things to me? You are not worthy!"

Zhu Youmu was furious and wanted to fight with old man Shibi on the spot.

Elder Shibi sat on the blood lotus, swung his whisk, and walked away quickly: "You have already stepped half a foot into the devil's way, and you don't even know it! I think you have a connection with my devil sect, so you should practice well in this half of the Stone Tiger Mountain. After ten years, I will ride on the blood lotus calyx to save you because of your connection with our sect..."

Zhu Youmu raised his hand and released a great sandalwood Buddha light that stretched across the sky in the distance to block the attack. At the same time, he sent out a giant Vajra Buddha palm, blasting towards old man Sibi.

Old man Shibi laughed loudly several times, causing thirteen beams of magic light to burst out from the blood lotus calyx, transforming into a blood-colored light pillar that covered himself, flashing a few times in the sky before disappearing.

Zhu Youmu looked down on evil demons and heretics. Feeling provoked by Old Man Shibi, he wanted to chase him to Shenjian Peak immediately and turn the world upside down. However, Zen Master Baimei had just told him that he had to practice in Shihu Mountain for ten years. No matter how much he hated Old Man Shibi, he could not leave at that moment.

Moreover, when he was fighting with Shi Sheng just now, several magic weapons were destroyed. He knew that with his current means, it would be difficult to win against the old man Shibi. He had just witnessed the magic power of the old man Shibi. If it were not for the suppression of the Seven Treasures Golden Pagoda, Li Hong and his friends would not be able to do anything to the big devil. His magic power was still not as good as the old devil. Although he knew many Buddhist magics to subdue demons, which had a restraining effect on the old devil's various spells, he could only protect himself at most. Not only could he not win, but it was not easy to even gain the upper hand.

He decided to follow his master's advice and continue to practice in this half of the Stone Tiger Mountain for another ten years. During this time, he would work hard to study various magic spells to subdue demons and refine several treasures to subdue demons. After ten years, it would be time for him to go out and clean up the world and wipe out all the evil spirits!
He always felt that Master Baimei was too merciful to those evil demons, including Master Tianmeng, Master Zunsheng and others. Even Master Fentuo, he felt was too lenient.

He clearly possesses a method to subdue demons, but he just doesn't use it... He actually admires the style of the former Master Jue more. He and Jiang Xuejun have also discussed this issue before, and both of them disagree with the elders' excessive compassion.

We must fight violence with violence! We must make those evil demons pay the price with blood and make them completely disappear from the world!
When his Master was around, he was always very careful when thinking of these ideas, because he knew that his Master possessed great wisdom and could sense his every thought and intention.

Now that his master is gone, he can finally think freely and even do it!
Although he could not leave Shihu Mountain, he could ask others to go.

Zhu Youmu used the Buddhist mind-light sensing method to contact his good friend Jiang Xuejun.

Since his master ascended to heaven, Jiang Xuejun became the master of Miaozhen Temple and practiced alone in Dongting Mountain.

She also calculated that there would be a huge disaster in the future, and it would be difficult to survive it. She has been preparing for the future disaster over the years.

Her method of preparation was to practice more powerful spells and refine more powerful magic weapons.

Her character is that no matter what the calamities are, whether natural or man-made, as long as I am strong enough, I can overcome them all. If I cannot overcome them, it is because I am not strong enough.

Therefore, she has cultivated many magic weapons over the years, and she has also mastered many of them that Yan Yingmu originally didn't allow her to cultivate.

A few years ago, the new disciple of Maha Venerable Sikong Zhan, who was also in Dongting Mountain, offended her.

She had been unhappy with Sikong Zhan for a long time, so she went straight to his house and killed more than twenty of his followers.

Sikong Zhan and his beautiful wife, concubines and sisters were no match for her and were eventually driven away by her and fled overseas.

She also has an ambition to wipe out all the demons in the world. It turns out that her master always stops her, saying that she will not offend others unless they offend her, and to avoid killing in normal times.

This time her master ascended to heaven, and she could finally carry out her own ideals. She started by sweeping away the evil spirits around her, and killed all the evil spirits and monsters in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. It was much quieter than in previous years.

When Zhu Youmu contacted her, she was practicing formations with a group of tree spirits by the lake.

Her Dongting Mountain is filled with thousand-year-old plum spirits and willow monsters.

It is more difficult to cultivate plant elves than animals. Mermaids like Jinxu Nu can cultivate powerful magical powers in 500 years and can fly and hide underground.

However, there is a possibility that plants and trees over a thousand years old can have spiritual powers. But they must be spiritual objects like purple river grass and ganoderma lucidum. Ordinary peach and willow trees over a thousand years old can at best cause hallucinations in people who are close to them, or enter people's dreams while they are sleeping.

Ever since her master ascended to heaven, Jiang Xuejun felt that Miaozhen Temple was deserted. Not only the temple was deserted, but the entire Dongting Mountain was deserted.

She cast a spell to enlighten the thousand-year-old tree spirits on the mountain, turning them into young men and women. They usually did some chores in the Taoist temple. Occasionally, when she had free time, she would teach them some spells and how to cooperate in practicing formations.

However, these things were fresh for a while at first, but later on they became increasingly boring.

Just when he was bored, Zhu Youmu used the Buddha's light to manifest and appeared out of thin air.

Jiang Xuejun became happy when he saw him: "You three families hunted the old demon who eats the corpse, what was the result?"

"The three divine monks were too kind-hearted, and the evil dragon's demonic offspring caused trouble, so they failed in the end!"

Zhu Youmu briefly recounted what happened, and Jiang Xuejun was indignant after listening to it: "I wanted to go at that time, but you wouldn't let me go! If I were there, how could those demons and monsters be so rampant and proud!"

Zhu Youmu was also very sorry: "I want to do this too, but Master Zunsheng insisted on using Buddhism to convert him and refused to use force. What else can we do? But this time they have all ascended to heaven, and Master Tianmeng will be here soon. Then we can go together to wipe out all these evil demons! However, there is something I need you to do right now, it is very urgent!" (End of this chapter)
