Chapter 27 The Demons Gather the Crowd
The Li family is a well-known wealthy family in Tanzhou, and Li Lifu is the direct son of the Li family.
It is conceivable what kind of status Li Lifu has in the Li family and in Tanzhou. To say that he is a dandy and to be considered a dandy is to praise him among the three evils of Tanzhou.
When he was young, he ran away to teach. When he was young, he fell in love with Long Yang. After he became an adult, he fell out with his family because of his marriage to the Lu family...
It can be said that the first half of Li Lifu's life was almost absurd, synonymous with the second generation of ancestors.
Until one day after his marriage, Li Lifu suddenly fell off his horse while out for fun, hit his head, and lost all memories of his past.
The ridiculous playboy that he was before began to change from that day on.
Li Lifu seemed to be a completely different person towards his wife, whom he had once rejected, and he doted on her very much.
Facing his parents and elders at home, Li Lifu no longer looks like a domineering and domineering person, and is willing to study in peace and obtain fame.
Outsiders say that this is God's foresight, and it is the result of the Li family's parents burning incense and worshiping Buddha all year round, which gave Li Lifu the qualification to start a new life.
The only regret is that Li Lifu was never able to get his wife pregnant with a second child, except for his newly born eldest daughter, seemingly because it was a sequelae of the "horse fall incident".
For this reason, Li Lifu even married a concubine under the coercion and inducement of the whole family, but he still failed to give birth to a son to inherit the family.
Fortunately, the three generations of the Li family were used to being single generations, and they did not place too many harsh demands on Li Lifu in this regard.
At worst, recruiting a man to marry into the Li family in the future is not an unacceptable thing in today's era.
However, such days only lasted less than four years.
One day four years later, Li Lifu, who had changed his mind and started a new life, suddenly said that he wanted to become a monk and become a monk.
At this moment, the parents of the Li family are very old and walking away, and there is no way to dissuade the head of the family from changing his mind.
The mistress of the Li family, who seemed to know something, just cried all day long. At one point, the family elders were so angry that they yelled and cursed, saying that they had married a white-eyed wolf and returned home.

Inside the Main Hall of Mulian Temple.
"Is this the 'cause' that led to all this?"
I saw Huiji expelling the evil spirits who tried to break into Mulian Temple, while looking back at the courtyard where the old abbot was,
Numerous hallucinations kept appearing in front of him, and the contents of these hallucinations were clearly the various experiences and memories of the old abbot before he became a monk.
Fortunately, although these illusions were complicated, they did not really affect Huiji's mind and actions.
tumultuous!
Under the light of Bodhi Buddha, which is almost the nemesis of evil spirits, even if Huiji is occasionally distracted, no evil spirits can break through his defense from the main entrance.
In fact, the fact that the current Mulian Temple has not been completely demolished by the evil spirits in a radius of more than ten miles is entirely due to Huiji's single-handedly blocking the gate.
After all, the demons outside the door don't know that what is conceived in the Main Hall is not a spiritual treasure, but a green snake that has been practicing for hundreds of years.
The monsters that follow the Yin Qi and evil spirits are just fulfilling their instincts and rushing towards the place where the Yin Qi and evil spirits converge crazily.
Especially after the green snake left with most of the evil energy, they instinctively believed that it was a sign of the birth of the spiritual treasure, so they became even more crazy.
"Amitabha!"
He also saw those looming hallucinations. Yuande, who was seriously injured and crossed his legs, just recited the Buddha's name in a low voice.
Because he knew that if things were as he speculated, then this illusion was just an appearance, and the real truth was far more cruel than imagined.
"Master, you will always be my master."
Just like confirming a certain belief in his heart, when Yuan Demo read this sentence, he was ready to face the truth.
Even if the truth will completely break the old abbot's image in his own mind, Yuan De will definitely support the old abbot until the last moment.
In any case, it was the current abbot who saved him from the hungry people, and it was also the current old abbot who had the grace to save his life and teach him Taoism.
Buddhism has always emphasized the reincarnation of cause and effect and retribution.
But with so many causes and effects in the world, who can completely sort them out and truly cut off the threads of the three thousand worries?
Yuande only knew that the old abbot was kind to him, and he would never be ungrateful.
Teaching people to do good deeds and saving people is the purpose of Mahayana Buddhism.
Yuan De practices Hinayana Buddhism, which emphasizes crossing the sea of suffering in the physical body and seeking self-transcendence.
One is to first save others and then save yourself, become a saint through merit, and finally reach the other side to complete the enlightenment of all sentient beings.
One is to save oneself first and then save others, seeing the world as a sea of suffering and oneself as a boat, looking for one's own salvation.
"Amitabha!"
Yuan De doesn't care what the world thinks of the old abbot, nor does he care about all the evil deeds the old abbot has committed before. He just needs to know that the old abbot is worthy of him.
In life, it is impossible for everything to go as planned, and the same is true for the perfect virtue of a mere ascetic.
"You are born with wisdom, but your life is full of misfortunes."
As if sensing Yuan De's determination, Hui Ji, who had her back turned to him, sighed in a low voice.
At this moment, another wolf-like roar came from the door of Mulian Temple, and then the invisible wind began to blow violently at the door.
"Bald donkey, stop meddling in other people's business!"
"Let us in, you stinky monk!"
"When I enter, I must kill this thief Bald first to vent my hatred!"
…
A low roar was accompanied by an angry roar, and the sounds of the monsters outside the door were heard one after another.
Those are the evil spirits and ghosts that live in a radius of more than ten miles. In normal times, they may not be as violent and bloodthirsty as they are now. Hiding in the darkness is their real daily life.
However, under the stimulation of the evil aura just now, they have revealed their bloodthirsty and cruel nature.
"Taming your own heart and suppressing your inner demons is the way to the great road."
"The evil spirit outside the door is crooked. Before the young monk starts killing people, it's best for you to leave quickly!"
Speaking the most domineering words in the calmest tone, Huiji quickly held seals with both hands and made seals. The Bodhi Buddha light behind her head also bloomed with dazzling seven-color glaze, reappearing as a pearlescent elephant.
"Om, Bo La Mo Lin Tuo Ning, Sa Po He!"
In those seven-color glaze, a giant Buddha can be vaguely seen entrenched on the Thousand-leaf Lotus, and the image becomes clearer as the seal takes shape.
Holding a jewel in his left hand and a tin staff in his right hand, he solemnly recited the Sanskrit mantra with a jeweled crown to ward off all demons.
"Qianpu Qianpu Qianqianpu Agashe Qianpu Dharma Jieluo Qianpu..."
——The Ten Wheels of Ksitigarbha Sutra·Full of water, fire, auspiciousness and light, the Great Inscription Ming Mantra!
