Zhao Haoyan sensed that the Xumi Mirror was like a sieve, and the external spiritual energy kept coming in and was sucked away by Lin Xiaodong.
He stared and opened his mouth, saying in disbelief: "How is that possible?"
Lin Xiaodong snorted disdainfully: "Giving up the small self, you gain the big self; giving up the big self, you gain selflessness! You gain by giving up, you will never understand your evil ways even after you die!"
Zhao Haoyan roared in anger, and the golden lamp Qingyun emitted a brighter golden light, but Lin Xiaodong's magic power was really endless and he resisted with all his might.
Gradually, the light of the golden lantern Qingyun gradually dimmed and became smaller and smaller. When Lin Xiaodong saw that Zhao Haoyan was showing signs of decline, he was about to step up his efforts, but was suddenly stopped by Gao Anhe: "Taoist Master Lin."
Lin Xiaodong looked back at Gao Anhe and saw him pointing at the villagers kowtowing on the ground.
Lin Xiaodong looked down and suddenly woke up.
The kneeling villagers were the source of Zhao Haoyan's strength. If the fight continued, Zhao Haoyan would not die. The villagers kowtowed and kowtowed to death first.
Zhao Haoyan laughed loudly: "You want to kill me?
Then let these people be buried with me!"
Xu Simin was so angry that she couldn't help but stamp her feet: "You are evil, so heartless and crazy!"
Zhao Haoyan was crazy and provocative: "Your magic power is endless, so what can you do?
Are you still going to fight me?"
Lin Xiaodong looked at the people who were kowtowing until their heads were bleeding, and said contemptuously: "They will kneel down and worship you only because they have not heard the righteous Dharma."
"The Dharma is here today, and the distinction between superior and inferior is established. All sentient beings, you should know when you have gone astray and come back!"
Lin Xiaodong's voice became louder and louder, and there was an echo. A golden wheel of merit appeared behind his head. His feet were dangling in the air, his body was covered with golden light, and he had a golden body. He was a hundred times more majestic and dazzling than Zhao Haoyan! Then he saw Lin Xiaodong, with a basin as big as a washbasin behind his head.
Golden light, a wordless book above the head, holding a picture of picking up clouds and Feiyun Ruyi in his hand, stepping on a lotus flower, closing his eyes and lowering his eyebrows, feeling neither joy nor sorrow.
The golden light swept over the kowtowing villagers, as if they were awakening from a dream, they all regained their consciousness and turned to worship Lin Xiaodong.
When the villagers woke up, the golden lanterns above Zhao Haoyan's head fell one after another. The Qingyun gradually became smaller and revealed its original shape. It turned out to be a blood cloud as big as a basin.
Lin Xiaodong opened his eyes, the golden light in his eyes was like the rising sun. He stretched out his hand and there was a "ding" sound, and the Xumi Mirror in Zhao Haoyan's hand broke.
The scene in front of everyone changed again. It was still Xingling Mountain, but the altar on the top of the mountain was gone, and the blood and big pits on the ground were gone.
Lin Xiaodong has brought everyone out of the illusion of Xumi Mirror.
Zhao Haoyan knelt down on the ground, opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood, and spit it on the broken Xumi mirror. He raised his head and said unwillingly: "Who are you?"
Lin Xiaodong did not answer, and the wordless book was swept away. Zhao Haoyan, Yao Taining, Yang Xinran, Yang Yuxue, master and apprentice, all turned into ashes.
Gao Anhe snorted coldly: "Yongle Pavilion, we will be completely removed from the Taoist sect today!"
The five hundred missing villagers had a narrow escape from death, and they all expressed their gratitude to Lin Xiaodong, Gao Anhe and others.
Gao Anhe sent people to the county government and asked Lu Guangqi to invite all the doctors in the city overnight and come to Xingling Mountain to treat the villagers' injuries. After three days of dealing with the aftermath, the villagers gradually returned to normal life.
At noon on the fourth day, Gao Anhe finally found time to hold a celebration banquet at a restaurant in the city, with Lu Guangqi and Song Jianzhong as his companions.
Recalling that night, Gao Anhe was still frightened and raised his glass: "The missing people were returned safely and the evil Yongle Pavilion was completely eradicated. This is a great achievement. Colleagues, have a drink with me and celebrate!"
Everyone had a drink together, and Gao An said harmoniously: "Thanks to Taoist Master Lin for this matter. We were eager to save people that night and walked into Zhao Haoyan's treasure."
"If it weren't for Taoist priest Lin's powerful Taoism, the death of a few of us would have been minor, but the five hundred villagers might not have escaped death. If Zhao Haoyan was allowed to practice evil skills again, the consequences would be disastrous!"
Luo Jincheng said: "Taoist Master Lin's teachings are so high that you can only look up at him. The golden body and appearance of the teachings are shocking."
Chen Shilan and Xu Simin leaned together, staring at Lin Xiaodong intently, with a look of infatuation and excitement.
Lin Xiaodong said calmly: "The evil method in Yongle Pavilion is indeed powerful. Fortunately, it has been completely eradicated."
Chen Shilan asked: "If we fail to rescue these villagers, what will happen to them in the end?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "They will all die, and after death, their spiritual consciousness will remain in the Sumeru Mirror, and they will never be able to transcend life."
Xu Simin said: "Then Zhao Haoyan said he would be naked tomorrow, and what happened?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I guess that Xumi Mirror is used to confuse people's minds, making people think they are in the way of heaven, but in fact they kowtow to their heads and bleed."
Xu Simin said blankly: "That means that if the villagers die, they will always think that they are in the light tomorrow?
Doesn’t that mean eternal peace and happiness?”
Lin Xiaodong said: "What is true is true, and what is false is false."
Xu Simin was thoughtful.
How to choose between illusory beauty and real pain?
After dinner, Lin Xiaodong bowed and said goodbye, and Gao Anhe and others were also preparing to leave for Changxing.
Gao Anhe said: "Taoist Master Lin saved 500 villagers this time. This is a wonderful achievement. I will report to the superiors when I go back."
Lin Xiaodong waved his hand: "No need, sir, my master taught me the exercises just to save the world and save people, to protect the weak, to eradicate evil, and to uphold the right path."
Gao Anhe stood in awe and said, "The Taoist priest has such a benevolent heart that one is ashamed of himself."
Chen Shilan reluctantly said: "Taoist Master Lin, take care!"
Xu Simin said to Gao Anhe: "Sir, I want to talk to Taoist Lin."
Gao Anhe understood and said to Luo Jincheng and Chen Shilan: "Let's send the luggage to the carriage first."
Lin Xiaodong and Xu Simin stood opposite each other. Lin Xiaodong asked: "Miss Xu, what do you want to say?"
Xu Simin lowered his head and said, "I know what happened to you."
Lin Xiaodong was puzzled: "What's wrong with me?"
Xu Simin raised her head and said with a red face: "The matter of Mrs. Yu and the two Mrs. Qiao."
Lin Xiaodong raised his head and then remembered that Xu Simin wanted to follow him to see Yu Fengjun before going out. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did you know?"
Xu Simin smiled: "I am from the eunuch."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Indeed."
Xu Simin said: "Taoist Master Lin is personable and has great magical power. It is reasonable to have several confidants accompanying him."
Lin Xiaodong smiled and said: "This is just what has been spread. There are many more that have not been spread."
Xu Simin chuckled, turned away with a red face, and said coquettishly: "Since you rescued me from prison and before I met you, I have already made up my mind to repay you well."
"Later, I saw that you and Mrs. Yu were in love, so I didn't mention it again. Now that I know how many confidants you have, I..." Lin Xiaodong said: "Miss Xu, don't always open your mouth and repay the favor. You seem to be jealous.
Already."
Xu Simin shrank his neck, stuck out his tongue and said, "I, that's just an excuse."
Lin Xiaodong raised his head and bowed his hands in salute: "Ms. Xu has kind intentions, and Lin knows it, but the girl is young and beautiful and has a bright future, so why bother."
Xu Simin raised his head and said, "Did Taoist Lin forget that I am a guilty person?"
