Chapter 206: Learning to Walk in Handan
"Is that old thief Wude Xingjun and Wu Ji here?" Little White Dragon cried out.
The Third Holy Mother and Long Si also looked incredulous.
The Monkey King was naturally unwilling to admit it, and argued: "Li Anran, I don't understand what you are talking about! The back cave is where I practice meditation, where did this Wude Xingjun father and son come from!"
Li Anran didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Fighting Buddha, you should know my character. Since I came here and said this, I am sure of it."
"If you hand over Wude Xingjun and Wu Ji now, I will let you off the hook for ignorance. If I were to find them myself, you would be guilty of harboring a criminal who violated the Heavenly Rules and helping him kill people and clear evidence, which would also be a serious crime that violated the Heavenly Rules."
The Monkey King hesitated for a moment, but when he thought of the natural treasures he had collected and the ten future temples, he was reluctant to give them up. He said in a cold voice: "I have already said that the back cave is my place for meditation. There is no Wude Xingjun and his son here!"
He said it loudly and firmly, but that moment of hesitation gave it all away.
Little White Dragon understood what was going on and glared at the Monkey King with gnashing teeth: "Sun Xingzhe! You and I are brothers after all, so even if we don't give face to the monk, we should give face to the Buddha! You actually helped that Wude Xingjun to deal with me, you are really too cruel!"
"Ao Lie! Would you rather believe the words of an outsider than me, your senior brother?"
The Monkey King turned the tables and shouted, "If that's the case, then we should just stop being brothers! We'll save ourselves from being laughed at!"
When the Monkey King disguised himself as a monkey, he almost fooled the entire Three Realms. His acting skills are evident!
These words made Xiaobailong a little shaken, and he couldn't help but look at Li Anran with questioning and doubtful eyes.
Li Anran was too lazy to explain anything to him, and just said lightly: "Fighting Buddha, since you won't cry until you see the coffin, then I will invite them out myself." He raised his hand and a golden light flashed towards the back cave gate.
"stop!"
The Monkey King did not expect Li Anran to attack him directly after a disagreement. He was shocked and quickly threw away his cassock. A ray of Buddha's light flew out and formed a golden light shield, blocking the golden light shot out by Li Anran.
The Monkey King was somewhat angry and said, "Li Anran, this is not your Heavenly Prison Palace. This is the Emei Mountain Dojo that the Buddha gave me! If you dare to abuse your power and oppress the good again, don't blame me for reporting you to the Jade Emperor!"
In this world, it always depends on what you do, not what you say!
The Monkey King's reaction was so intense that not only Little White Dragon but even the simple-minded Three Holy Mothers could see that he had something to hide.
"Oh, kindness?"
Li Anran was amused by this joke and said, "Since you said so, it would seem unreasonable if I force my way in again."
"In this case, let's make a bet. You open this back hole yourself. If I can't find the father and son of Wude Xingjun in your back hole, I will let you do whatever you want, whether to kill or torn. If you find them, then you will follow me to the Heavenly Prison and I will deal with you according to the Heavenly Rules. How do you think?"
"No!" The Monkey King flatly refused, "The back cave is where I meditate. It is related to my life and property. How can I allow outsiders to enter?"
Li Anran asked, "What if I insist on going in?"
The Monkey King said: "Then don't blame me for being rude!"
“Hahahahahaha!”
Li Anran burst into laughter and said, "The sky is clear and the rain has stopped. Do you think you are okay again?"
The monkey king was stunned at first, then his eyes turned red, and his chest was burning with anger. He directly sent all the vegetarian food and sutras he had eaten and chanted for the past two months into the dog's stomach, and shouted loudly: "Li Anran! You are looking for death!"
Although the Monkey King seems to be arrogant, he is actually extremely sensitive and self-deprecating, petty-minded and vindictive.
When Li Anran released him from the Sky Prison, he was very proud of himself, thinking that he had fooled Li Anran.
Later we found out that all this was done intentionally by Li Anran in order to free the monkey from the journey to the West.
The anger, resentment and jealousy in the Monkey King's heart reached its peak.
Ever since Lingshan treated him as a spare tire substitute for the monkeys, the Monkey King has hated the monkeys to the core , and what he can't stand the most is losing in a comparison with the monkeys.
Even though Li Anran had no connection with him before, he was friends with Monkey, so it was reasonable for him to choose to help Monkey.
The Monkey King still couldn't bear it and wished he could tear Li Anran into pieces to vent his hatred.
However, before he could take any action, he was captured by the Bull Demon King and other monsters and taken to Cuiyun Mountain, who warded off disaster for the monkey!
Immediately afterwards, he saw the scene of Li Anran fighting a group of monsters. Knowing that he was no match for them, he could only temporarily put aside the thought of revenge, but the hatred was buried deep in his heart!
When the monkeys were discussing with the Monkey King, they felt that if one of them went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures and achieve enlightenment, while the other went to the Flower-Fruit Mountain to be the Monkey King and live freely and unrestrained, one being Sun Xingzhe and the other being Sun Wukong, they could have the best of both worlds.
But, in the eyes of the Monkey King, this was the monkeys "giving alms" to him, giving him things that they didn't want and looked down upon!
Even though what the monkey doesn't want or look down upon is what he desires!
However, his hatred towards the monkey grew deeper and deeper!
He not only wants to be Sun Wukong, but also wants to be Sun Xingzhe!
Not only does he want to achieve success, but he also wants to live a free and easy life!
In order to achieve this, the monkey’s backer, the prison god Li Anran, must be killed!
The Monkey King will help Wude Star Lord find the whereabouts of Yuan Shoucheng and others. He has also heard that Wude Star Lord and Yang Jian and Li Anran are not on good terms, so he wants to use Wude Star Lord to deal with Li Anran!
Unexpectedly, Li Anran came directly to his door and humiliated him so unscrupulously!
New and old grudges erupted at the same time, and the murderous anger in the Monkey King's heart could no longer be suppressed. His eyes suddenly opened, and two rays of divine light shot out, pointing directly at Li Anran's brows.
boom!
Li Anran didn't move at all. Suddenly, a rosy glow appeared around him, blocking the two divine lights.
The Monkey King did not think that this move would be successful, he just wanted to catch Li Anran off guard.
The moment the divine light shot out, he jumped up, threw off his robes, took out the iron-clad soldier from his ear and attacked Li Anran.
Li Anran stepped back gently, seemingly in a dangerous situation, but in fact he easily avoided the blow.
The Monkey King seized the opportunity and refused to let go. He waved the iron stick in his hand like the wind, causing gusts of whistling wind. The shadows of the sticks in the sky connected into one, like a lotus platform that trapped Li Anran in the middle.
At this time, Xiao Bailong knew that the Monkey King was acting from beginning to end. He picked up the spear in his hand and was about to go forward to help, but was stopped by Li Anran.
"You don't have to help me. Just protect Third Sister and Fourth Princess." Li Anran was still a little worried, and added: "Third Sister, take out the Precious Lotus Lantern and protect yourself."
"Okay." The Third Holy Mother took out the Precious Lotus Lantern as instructed, and made a spell with her right hand, ready to use it at any time.
"Li Anran! You dare to be distracted when fighting with me!" The Monkey King felt that he was being despised and humiliated. He roared, and the iron weapon in his hand shone brightly. The faster he moved, the greater his strength became.
but……
Li Anran felt more and more bored!
After successfully completing his journey to the West, the Monkey King's cultivation level was greatly improved. He broke through directly from the third level of Taiyi Golden Immortal to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and his physical body was also much stronger than before.
However, his every move and even his habitual movements are still that of Sun Wukong, not himself!
In Li Anran's eyes, this kind of martial arts learned from others is just a piece of shit and has no merit at all!
Moreover, although the Monkey King had achieved enlightenment, his state of mind was still very bad. He would become very impatient if things did not go his way.
This made his already poor martial arts skills even more flawed!
Li Anran found it very boring. He might as well find a real monkey to practice with instead. He was too lazy to waste time with this copycat monkey.
Swish!
Li Anran stopped dodging and took a step forward.
His steps seemed slow, but his body was as fast as the wind. Under the shocked and unbelievable gaze of the Monkey King, he passed through the shadows of sticks in the air and grabbed the Monkey King's right wrist at the critical moment.
The Monkey King was horrified and kicked towards Li Anran, while at the same time he pulled his right hand back sharply, trying to break free from Li Anran's hand.
However, Li Anran only lifted his right foot, and performed the same action faster and with greater force than the Monkey King.
Bang!
The two legs collided with each other, making a dull sound. Wrinkles appeared in the void, and countless black cracks appeared like lightning and quickly disappeared.
A look of pain flashed across the Monkey King's face. He felt as if he had kicked a block of iron. The huge recoil force caused a sharp pain where his legs collided.
The Monkey King knew that his leg bone had cracked!
Even though the crack was restored to its original state in an instant due to his terrifying recovery ability!
But it also proves the huge gap between him and Li Anran in strength and physical body!
As for his attempt to pull out his arm, it was even more futile!
Li Anran's palm was like an iron clamp, tightly gripping his wrist.
Snap!
Li Anran exerted force with his palm suddenly, and there was a crisp sound of bones breaking.
The Monkey King let out a scream, his right hand lost strength and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Total defeat!
Xiaobailong looked at the scene in front of him and was so surprised that he even forgot to breathe.
He knew that Li Anran was very powerful, but he knew even more how powerful the Monkey King was!
He never expected that in front of Li Anran, the Monkey King had no power to resist at all!
The title of Fighting Buddha seems like a joke!
Li Anran was not surprised at all.
He is faster than the Monkey King, stronger than the Monkey King, has a stronger body than the Monkey King, has more sophisticated moves than the Monkey King, and he knows everything about the Monkey King!
It would be strange if we can’t capture the Monkey King in one move!
"ah!!!"
The Monkey King could not accept all this. He let out an angry roar and exerted force with his arms. With a "puff" sound, his arm was torn off at the root.
Next second.
The arm grew back intact!
This is the disgusting thing about physical cultivators, especially those who have practiced the Eight-Nine Profound Art and Nine-Transformation Yuan Art, which are body-protecting magical skills!
With seventy-two lives, the cost of trial and error is extremely low, and they can cut off an arm to survive or sacrifice their life to escape at any time!
However, the Monkey King was obviously unwilling to escape!
He leaped back onto the lotus platform, sat cross-legged, and chanted, "Namo Fighting Buddha!"
boom!
A tremendous Buddha light burst out from the Monkey King, illuminating the entire cave with a brilliant golden glow. The Buddha treasures inlaid on the walls sparkled brightly under the blessing of the Buddha light, reflecting seven-color rays of light, making the entire Fairy Ape Cave look like a dream.
The Three Holy Mothers and the other two only felt a flash before their eyes, and the surrounding scenery had changed drastically.
The plum, bamboo, stone tables and stone chairs in the previous cave have all disappeared, replaced by a space composed of colorful Buddhist light.
They stood in it and felt top-heavy, as if they were floating, unable to tell left from right, south from north.
Swish!
There was a flash of light on the little white dragon's body, and his casual clothes had turned into silver armor. He held a spear in his hand and protected the Three Holy Mothers and Long Si.
"What's going on?" Long Si's face was pale, and countless specks of light on his body were constantly dissipating.
Among the three, Xiaobailong has the highest cultivation level and has reached the peak of Golden Immortal. Although the Three Holy Mothers are only at the peak of Profound Immortal, she at least has a physical body.
Only Long Si had only a soul body, and under the shining of the Buddha's light, there were signs that it was dissipating.
The Third Holy Mother hurriedly took out the Precious Lotus Lantern from her bosom and silently chanted a spell.
Buzz!
The Precious Lotus Lantern shone with myriad brilliant colors and transformed into a blue lotus, covering the three people underneath.
The dizziness just now disappeared instantly, and Long Si's soul no longer dissipated.
Before the three of them could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw the Buddha's light surging around them, and condensed into tall and burly Dharma protectors, waving demon-subduing pestles, and killing towards them.
At the same time, thousands of Buddhas appeared in the sky, chanting in unison: "I take refuge in the Buddha, the Two-footed One. I take refuge in the Dharma, the Desire-free One. I take refuge in the Sangha, the One among the Many..."
With the Precious Lotus Lantern protecting them, the Dharma protectors could not get close to them at all, but the scriptures continued to reach their ears.
They unconsciously began to recite silently in their hearts, and gradually even started to chant aloud along with the Buddha above their heads.
At this moment, a contemptuous voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
"How dare you show off your skills in front of an expert!"
In an instant, the Buddha's light in the sky, the sound of chanting in the ears, the roaring Vajra, and the compassionate Buddha all disappeared.
They were still standing there, but at some point, they had sat down cross-legged with their hands clasped together.
The Third Holy Mother subconsciously reached into her arms, but the Precious Lotus Lantern stayed there quietly and was not sacrificed by her.
On the walls around them, the Buddhist treasures that had once shone brightly had all been shattered, their light dimmed, and they were as gray as the most inconspicuous stones.
"Brother Li, what happened to us just now?" asked the Third Holy Mother.
"This cave full of Buddhist treasures is not only a decoration, but also a formation. You just accidentally fell into his illusion and got trapped in the formation."
Li Anran put one hand on the Monkey King's neck and drained all of his spiritual power to prevent him from getting mad again and giving up his life to survive.
The formation of the Monkey King has gathered all the Buddhist teachings, Buddhist light, Buddhist treasures and Buddhist scriptures. Even if an ordinary Golden Immortal enters it, he may be forcibly converted and become a fanatical believer or slave of "Buddha"!
But, using it against Li Anran would be like showing off one’s skills before an expert!
Li Anran is not only good at formations, but also practices the Hehuan technique. This technique of bewitching people has absolutely no effect on Li Anran!
Instead, he was restrained by the formation and was easily captured by Li Anran.
Boom boom boom——
Li Anran waved his right hand, a golden light flashed, and the stone door at the back cave opened with a bang.
Wude Star Lord, Wu Ji and the heavenly soldiers and generals who were carrying boxes were all exposed in front of Li Anran!
"Master Li, I..."
Wude Xingjun wanted to beg for mercy, but Li Anran interrupted him and said, "I am only here on the orders of the God of Justice to investigate the truth and collect evidence. If Wude Xingjun has anything to say, please go to the Temple of the God of Justice!"
When Wude Xingjun heard this, his expression changed. He suddenly drew the sword from his waist and thrust it towards Li Anran.
He turned into a ray of red light and fled out of the Immortal Ape Cave.
when!
Li Anran snapped his fingers and a ray of golden light burst out, directly knocking the sword away. He flashed and stood in front of Wude Xingjun, grabbed him with his backhand, and tied him up tightly with the demon-binding rope.
This Wude Star Lord was considered a prominent figure during the Conferred God Catastrophe. He was extremely skilled in defense and had resisted the Duke of Dongbo at Youhun Pass for more than ten years without allowing him to make any progress.
Even without using magic weapons, he could still fight with Jinzha and Muzha for dozens of moves.
But after living a life of luxury for so many years, his martial arts skills had long been wasted!
His dying struggle only gave Li Anran a reasonable reason to imprison him in the Heavenly Prison, and also made it easier to find evidence that he had violated the Heavenly Law!
