The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 275: Now that you have seen me, why don’t you kneel?
"Old style."

Li Muxiu sat in the yard, feeling his head buzzing and a little dazed.

He never imagined that this old friend who had been wandering the world in a carefree manner for half his life would actually fall into the hands of Buddhism.

His ability to leave no trace in the world was so great that even I couldn't catch up with him.

His breath-concealing technique allows him to transform himself into grass or trees. No matter whether he enters a busy city or a mountain, he is like a fish entering the sea and is hard to find.

Even in the forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace guarded by a million imperial guards, they could come and go freely and silently.

But now, he was caught by Buddhism.

The news came from Wuliangshan's illegitimate disciple. It was absolutely true and Li Muxiu had no choice but to believe it.

Old Fengtou, how could you fail?
Li Muxiu slowly clenched his fists, his eyes moistened, and the extreme pain that spread out in his heart bit by bit seemed to tear his chest apart.

He sat alone for half an incense stick of time, then he stood up and walked out of the yard.

He first came to the ancestral hall and saw the fifth brother, Li Qingzheng, sitting alone in front of a chessboard outside the hall.

Li Qingzheng, who was playing chess alone, also looked at Li Muxiu.

The two looked at each other, a trace of sadness flashed across their eyes, and then they suppressed their emotions.

When they met in the past, the cheerful young figure was always around them, but now, it is gone.

"Second brother, how come you have time to come here?" Li Qingzheng forced a smile.

Li Muxiu's face was gloomy, and he said, "Come and see the ancestor, please forgive me."

"Forgive me?" Li Qingzheng stared.

Li Muxiu walked slowly towards the ancestral hall, his steps were heavy and slow. When he crossed the threshold, his footsteps paused slightly, but in the end, he still stepped over the threshold.

Li Qingzheng didn't say anything, but just stared at him. He seemed to realize what his second brother, who had been rebellious when he was young and was not loved by his father at home, was going to do now.

"Unworthy descendants, pay homage to the ancestors of all generations."

Li Muxiu came to the golden statue tablet, knelt down on the cushion and kowtowed gently.

The tablet shook slightly, but the ancestor did not show up. After all, showing up would consume the power of the remaining soul, unless there was something important to report.

"What's the matter?"

A majestic voice was heard, but it was unknown which ancestor it came from.

In the previous battle of Qingzhou City, many ancestors' burning souls some dissipated, and some remaining heroic souls withered and fell into a deep sleep. Now only a few stronger heroic souls are left, and they are still awake.

Li Muxiu's face trembled slightly, but in the end, he explained his purpose.

"You want to leave the Li family?"

The ancestor was shocked when he heard Li Muxiu's words.

Li Qingzheng, who was standing next to him, was also stunned when he heard this, and then he stared at Li Muxiu in a daze.

"Asshole, what are you talking about?!"

Another golden remnant soul appeared in the tablet. It was tall and strong, with an angry face.

"You didn't do enough when you were young. You've only been in charge of the Li family for a few years, but you're acting up again. Do you want me to beat you in front of our ancestors?!"

"Father."

When Li Qingzheng saw this remnant soul, he quickly changed from sitting to kneeling, and a rare look of fear appeared in his old eyes.

Even though he is over 80 years old now, he is still as nervous in front of his father as he was when he was young, as if the awe is engraved in his bones.

Li Muchu heard an angry voice coming from above his head, and vaguely seemed as if cold snow was blowing around him. On that snowy night, he was kneeling in the courtyard, kneeling outside the steps of the main hall, listening to his father's scolding, his mother's pleading, and his other brothers and sisters' requests for him.

But at that time, he was rebellious and resentful.

But many years later, I have already let it go because I was also wrong.

That night, his elder brother, whom he had envied in childhood, secretly brought him a bowl of hot braised pork noodles after his father left the table.

Looking back on it many years later, it is still one of the most delicious foods he has ever eaten.

The other two portions were the grilled fish from the boy by the lake, and the soup that the woman made for him when he was young and injured while slaying a demon.

A taste you will never forget.

Thinking of that snowy night, he thought of the disappearing figure of the big brother outside the pass. Li Muxiu's eyes became more moist. He bent his body tightly and pressed his forehead close to the ground. When he breathed, he inhaled the dust on the ground into his nostrils and could smell a strong smell of dust.

"Father, I have to do this. I promised that old friend, and I can't let him down..."

"But he's a thief!"

The golden remnant soul said angrily: "Didn't you make enough friends with those bad guys when you were young? They took advantage of your relationship and used the name of my God General Mansion to cause trouble everywhere and make money rampantly. Aren't the losses you suffered enough?!"

"That was when I was young and ignorant, and I didn't understand people's hearts. But this time is different, he is different. Although he is a thief, he has never used the name of my God General Mansion to cause chaos outside, to make profits for him, he is different..."

"But he's a thief!"

The golden remnant soul said angrily: "If you are kind-hearted, how could you become a thief? How can you be a good person if you steal what others have worked hard for?"

Li Muxiu raised his head, tears streaming down his face, but his eyes were fixed on the figure whose face was filled with anger, but more with sadness and grief:
"Father, there are eight million ways for people to live in this world, half of them are righteous and half are evil. Although he chose a different way of living from us, he never murdered the people, never bullied the weak, and never hurt me."

"Some wealthy nobles and aristocratic families demolish the old and build the new, forcing the common people to run back and forth, using legitimate means to collect the common people's wealth, causing them to wander around for the rest of their lives. Their behavior is worse than direct theft."

"Are you speaking for a thief? I think you are going to become a thief too!"

Li Muxiu felt bitter, and suddenly thought of what his old friend had said. He whispered:

“He who steals the way of heaven is a saint, he who steals the hearts of the people is an emperor, he who steals a great country is a marquis, he who steals a hook and a pearl is a thief… He has his own code, he is different.”

"You, you haven't changed at all. Now the God General's Mansion has just been ravaged by disasters and demons are rampant. The God of Wilderness has been defeated and will surely make a comeback. If you quit the God General's Mansion at this time, can you be worthy of your brothers and your mother?!"

Li Muxiu closed his eyes in pain and kowtowed again:

"I want to rescue him, but I don't want to involve the God General's Mansion. If the God General's Mansion is in trouble in the future, I will be the first to step out and the first to fall!"

As he spoke, his forehead completely pressed against the ground.

The golden remnant soul was furious and wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by another voice.

"Let him be."

"Father!"

The golden remnant soul turned its head and looked, a little stunned.

"Children have too much to bear. Don't let them lose the right to make friends. It is precious to live up to friends and be loyal to close friends."

The other vague golden remnant soul spoke gently.

When Li Muxiu heard this, the ground in front of his forehead became wet.

He gritted his teeth and kowtowed three times. Then he looked up at the tall golden soul and saw that the other party had a complicated expression, with grief, anger, and heartache in his eyes.

"Since your grandfather said so, just go. Don't say anything stupid about quitting the God General's Mansion. Just come back after you're done. At worst, I can use my life to clean up your mess this time!" said the golden remnant soul gritting his teeth.

Li Muxiu was shocked and bowed his head and said, "My son will definitely come back to apologize."

After saying this, he bowed deeply once more, then quickly walked out of the ancestral hall. He did not dare to stay any longer, fearing that the guilt in his heart would hold him back.

"Second brother, you must come back alive."

Li Qingzheng transmitted the message.

Li Muxiu heard it, but without stopping, he took out a black iron mask from the space between heaven and earth and put it on his face.

This mask is a magical weapon that can conceal his breath, leaving only a pair of bloodshot eyes exposed. The sadness in his eyes gradually faded away, becoming sharp and murderous.

At this moment, he suddenly felt regretful. Why didn't he stop the young man so decisively and seek justice for him on the spot when he stepped out of the house two years ago?

The ties of the Divine General's Mansion had finally suppressed him. ...

……

Wuliang Mountain is located on the border of Qingzhou.

But this border area is within the country. Although it is the junction of two states, it is prosperous.

The long mountains form ridges with peaks overlapping and misty.

On the towering peaks, Buddhist bells were ringing, emitting a long and distant sound.

There are stone paved roads everywhere on the mountains, like white dragons, stretching from the peaks to converge, leading to the distance and extending to all directions like a spider web.

And this extended area is also called the Pure Land of Brahma.

There was an endless stream of people coming from all over to worship Buddha. The horse-drawn carriages rushed from the muddy and dusty dirt roads to the repaired stone roads. This difference made the guests from all over the world feel good. The closer they got to the peaks, the more they listened to the Buddhist chants coming from the peaks. They felt like they had entered a pure land, and all their distracting thoughts were restrained.

Faint golden Buddha lights shone from some main peaks in the clouds and mist. That was the luster of the Buddhist magic weapon.

At this moment, the news from Wuliang Mountain had just spread, and people who had rushed over from all over the place after hearing the news were still on their way.

And in the sky above Qingzhou, a red figure, wrapped in blazing flames, came roaring and galloping.

Soon, the red flame figure swept into this Buddhist missionary land.

There are Buddhist temples everywhere in the nearby cities and towns.

Demons had previously invaded Qingzhou, but this area remained safe and sound. The demons did not provoke the Godly General's Mansion at the same time as they came to provoke Wuliang Mountain, one of Dayu's top forces.

This also made people in the nearby cities and towns within hundreds of miles believe in Buddhism more and be grateful for the Buddha's protection.

Whoosh!
The figures of Li Hao and Zhuhuo Shen directly passed through the mountain gate outside, and a divine formation emerged, blocking them.

But the Candle Fire God covered himself with the Dao Domain, restrained his breath, and passed directly through the divine formation without being rejected.

Li Hao covered Xiyan with the Dao Domain, allowing them to enter the formation easily.

When you enter the Shuttle Divine Array, you will see vast peaks in front of you, shrouded in clouds and mist, and in the distance, there is a huge mountain standing tall, surrounded by peaks.

That is the sacred mountain in the spiritual realm where the Buddha resides.

The Candlefire God stepped on the fire with all four of its hooves and rushed away with a roar.

At the same time, in the spiritual realm of the sacred mountain, the golden Buddhist texts surrounding the Buddha who was sitting on the purple gold lotus platform suddenly paused.

He opened his eyes slightly and looked outside the spiritual realm Buddhist temple. It seemed that he saw the uninvited guest through layers of obstacles.

"The guests are here, go and greet them."

The golden wheels in the Buddha’s eyes turned, and he said with a calm smile.

The three Bodhisattvas beside him were startled for a moment, chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice in response, and then flew out of the spiritual realm Buddhist temple. Then their souls were in the air, and they immediately sensed the powerful momentum whistling towards them from afar.

"Candle Fire God!"

"It's that boy."

“He actually came.”

The three Bodhisattvas looked at each other. Lin Wujing was stunned for a moment, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but it soon turned into a smile.

I didn't expect that the young man would really come for a thief. The Buddha was right.

Three figures suddenly flashed out and disappeared from this sacred mountain.

At the same time, Li Hao sat on the back of the Candle Fire God, crossed many mountains, and rushed towards the sacred mountain.

"stop!"

Suddenly, three figures appeared in an instant and stood in front of the Candle Fire God.

Li Hao's eyes turned cold as he saw clearly that they were three powerful men in the Fourth Stage Realm, that is, the Bodhisattvas of Wuliang Mountain.

I heard that besides the Buddha, there are five Bodhisattvas in Wuliang Mountain, all of whom are in the four realms.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Lin Wujing pretended not to know him and asked with a smile.

Li Hao looked at the Bodhisattva who had stood up for Li Qianfeng at the True Dragon Banquet, and said coldly: "Qingzhou has encountered such a great demon disaster, not far from your Wuliang Mountain, and you don't even recognize me?"

Lin Wujing's face changed slightly, revealing a look of realization, and said, "So it's General Haotian, no wonder you look familiar. I wonder what brings you to Wuliang Mountain?"

"Fuck your mother!"

Seeing that the other party was pretending to be confused, Li Hao cursed directly: "You are asking questions even though you know the answer. Don't block the way. Where is the Buddha?"

The faces of the three Bodhisattvas all changed. They didn't expect that this young man had such a hot temper and didn't want to be polite at all. If someone else came here, they would at least say something nice.

“Could it be that General Haotian is not here to watch the beheading of the thief, but to plead for him?”

Lin Wujing narrowed his eyes and said, "General Haotian, your identity is different now, don't make the mistake."

Li Hao stared at the other party and said, "When you captured him from Tianmen Pass, didn't you know about my relationship with him? Why are you pretending to be so arrogant!"

"General Haotian, please be careful with your words. This is the pure land of Buddhism. Don't be too rude." A Bodhisattva next to him said with a cold face.

"roll!"

Li Hao glared angrily, and suppressed the opponent with Dao Domain, directly shocking him hundreds of meters away, causing him to spit out blood.

"I treat my friends with wine and poetry, and treat them with courtesy. But when it comes to you bald asses, I insult you and make my mouth dirty!"

“General Haotian, don’t forget your identity. Do you want to cause trouble for a thief?”

"Then let's see if you are worthy of becoming a disaster!"

Li Hao's eyes turned cold, and a powerful force shook out. With a bang, the three people, including Lin Wujing, all turned pale. They felt an unimaginable force suppressing them, and they felt like kneeling down on the spot.

They were horrified. Although they knew that this young man was extremely terrifying and they could not stop him, only after experiencing it themselves did they realize how big the gap between them was.

Moreover, this young man was ferocious and violent, with no courtesy at all and was completely unscrupulous.

With one look, Li Hao scared away the three Bodhisattvas. Without further ado, he rode the Candle Fire God to the front of the sacred mountain spiritual realm.

I saw that the Supreme Buddhist Temple was majestic and magnificent, magnificent and golden, with a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

Li Hao's eyes were cold. He could feel a powerful aura restrained inside, lingering within, as deep as the ocean, exuding a pure masculine aura.

"Stop, this is my Buddhist Pure Land, even if you are a general of the imperial court..."

In front of the Buddhist gate, four guardian figures saw Li Hao falling from the sky with great momentum, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, scolding him loudly.

"Since you know my identity, how dare you rudely stop me? Get lost!"

Li Hao's eyes turned cold, and he stepped forward directly. His mighty power swept over them, forcing the four guardians against the wall of the Supreme Buddhist Hall, like a strong wind suppressing them, making them unable to move.

Afterwards, Li Hao rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground and stepped into the Buddhist hall.

He stood at the door, and seemed to block all the light coming into the Buddhist hall.

He also saw the huge and majestic Buddha sitting on the purple gold lotus platform in front of him.

They looked at each other, one was pure and gentle, with no discernible thoughts and seemingly never getting angry, while the other had sharp eyes and did not hide his feelings at all.

"General Haotian."

The Buddha smiled softly.

"Lord Buddha, I am the Duke of the court. Now that you have seen me, why don't you kneel?!"

Li Hao's eyes were cold.
