The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

"stop!"

Li Asi rushed over shouting, but when he saw Li Chengzhong's hand behind Wu Yuqi's head, he had to stop.

Li Chengzhong glanced at him and sneered, "You are lucky not to die in the Wu family! But you can't escape today. With your little Kung Fu, you can escape from the Wu family, but you can't escape here."

"Li Chengzhong! Don't be too proud. Your wife is outside. If you dare to touch Yuqi, you're dead!" Li Asi said sternly.

"Are you talking about the beautiful young lady from before? Hahaha!" Li Chengzhong laughed loudly, with a hint of lewdness in his laughter. "I've heard that the lady of the Li family in the capital is a natural beauty. I've never had the chance to meet her. Today I only saw her from afar. She is indeed stunningly beautiful. If I could hold her in my arms, she would definitely be better than the woman from the Wu family! Hahaha!"

Li Chengzhong's words made Li Asi extremely angry, but Wu Yuqi was in someone else's hands, so he could only grit his teeth, clench his fists, dig his fingers into the flesh, and dared not act rashly.

"I know she is outside. I also know she is very strong, and she is also very smart." Li Chengzhong sneered, "She saw through my plan and knew I was nearby, so she left you here as bait to lure me out. But she forgot that this underground palace is guarded by a secret formation. I have now closed the secret door of the underground palace. She can't get in without a spell. Not only this underground palace, but also this tower and this temple were built by me personally, and there are magic formations inside and outside. I exhausted all my financial and material resources to build the Pagoda Temple so magnificently, just for this day. The old man Huideng actually drove me down the mountain on the grounds that 'all the people's fat will go to Mount Wutai'. How could he know that I was benefiting Mount Wutai. When my plan succeeds, I will be the real Buddha in the world!"

"Now that the three layers of magic array inside and outside the Pagoda Temple are all activated, don't expect your wife to come and save you. If she can get out, it's her good fortune. I'm too lazy to go to the capital to look for her. If she can't get out, then wait for me to transform into a true Buddha, practice happiness with her, and go to paradise together, hahahaha!"

Just as Li Chengzhong was laughing wildly, he suddenly heard a voice saying, "Haha, are you so confident that the formation-breaking method outside can stop us?"

Li Asi was overjoyed when he heard the voice. He looked towards the entrance of the underground palace, only to see the door creak open and Lin Manqing walked in.

Li Chengzhong was shocked: "How...how did you get in?"

Lin Manqing glanced at the big hole on the wall behind Li Chengzhong and said, "My only miscalculation was that I didn't know you were hiding in there. I should have thought that this underground palace is so ancient that it shouldn't be so small. There must be a hidden barrier. This barrier is really hidden, and my spiritual sense didn't even detect it."

"Amitabha!"

A Buddhist chant was heard behind Lin Manqing, and Venerable Xingkong walked in.

"Junior brother, are you all right?"

Li Chengzhong saw Xingkong coming in and suddenly laughed: "Haha, I understand. That old guy Huideng has already passed on the secret mantra of the Golden Pagoda Underground Palace to you. When you arrived at the gate of the underground palace just now, the door was clearly open, but you said that you didn't know the secret mantra and couldn't enter the underground palace. It turns out that you said it on purpose for me to hear. Xingkong, you have always been stupid, but you have learned a trick. I am impressed by you!"

"Amitabha!" Xingkong clasped his hands together and glanced at Lin Manqing, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, "Mrs. Li is so smart!"

"Humph, I should have known you were acting." Li Chengzhong looked a little annoyed, "But I really want to know, even if you know the secret spell of the underground palace, how did you break it so quickly when I activated the triple formation outside just now?"

Lin Manqing smiled and said, "I saw through your formation at a glance when I was at Chajian Ridge. You used such a tall golden tower as the center of the formation. Do you think everyone else is a fool? Just now, Master Xingkong left with an excuse and took his disciples to look at the house. He was going to break your outer formation."

Li Chengzhong's face turned ugly, and anger surged up. He increased the strength of his hands and squeezed Wu Yuqi's neck tightly: "So what? If you dare to move, I will kill her first!"

Xingkong's face darkened: "Amitabha, put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha right now! Junior brother, you have already walked on a dead end, why bother to engage in a meaningless dispute?"

"A pointless fight?" Li Chengzhong laughed wildly. "Hahahaha, what do you think I'm doing? I'm telling you, I'm doing something that even the ancestors of all generations didn't dare to do, and now I'm about to succeed! Do you see the lamp on this stone platform?"

In fact, Lin Manqing and Xingkong had already seen it. The lamp on the stone platform, which was made of bronze or ancient iron and was impossible to light, was actually lit at this moment.

A bean-sized flame burned on the iron wick.

"It was ignited by the divine light of the statue of the Goddess of Pure Light." said Li Asi.

He was at the scene and saw it with his own eyes. When the divine light from the Pure Light Goddess statue and Wu Yuqi's body reflected each other and filled the room with light, the lamp was lit.

However, the goddess' light was more dazzling at that time, and with the appearance of Li Chengzhong, Li Asi didn't pay any attention to the lights at all.

"Is this your purpose?" Lin Manqing asked.

Li Chengzhong said, "Yes, this ancient Buddha's green lamp can only be lit with the help of the divine light of the Pure Light Goddess. I approached the Wu family and took the initiative to become Wu Hongli's lover in order to light this lamp and awaken the ancient Buddha. I originally thought that the Pure Light Goddess statue and the Dayun Sutra would be enough, but I didn't expect that the blood of the Goddess would still be needed to activate this statue."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, lifted Wu Yuqi up, and completely blocked him in front of him.

"Hehe, we still have to thank this little bitch! Madam Li, I admire your generosity. This little bitch has been working undercover in your house for so many years and almost killed you all, but you are still willing to help her!"

"What? Do you still want to sow discord?" Lin Manqing sneered.

Seeing that his attempt to sow discord failed, Li Chengzhong came up with another plan, saying, "Madam is as broad-minded as the sea. How dare I try to sow discord between you? How about this, let's make a deal."

"What deal?"

"I only want the ancient Buddha Qingdeng, and from now on I will replace Huideng and become the first generation of Buddhists in Wutai. You go back to your capital and be the first wife of your family. You and I will not interfere with each other. If there is anything involving Buddhism in the future, just give me a message, and I will bring all the monks in Wutai to help you with all my strength."

"Shut up!" Xingkong said angrily, "Li Chengzhong, how dare you say such things?"

Li Chengzhong ignored him and just looked at Lin Manqing. Seeing that Lin Manqing seemed unmoved, he continued, "I have been in the Wu family for many years and know a secret method that can transfer the blood of the goddess. As long as you use my method to take the blood and soul of this little bitch and refine them, and transfer them to yourself, plus this statue and the Great Cloud Sutra, you can become the incarnation of the Pure Light Goddess. By then, the wealth, magic weapons and unknown secrets left by Wu Zhou will all be yours. With your madam's phoenix appearance, you may also be able to rule the world, and your demeanor will surely be better than that of Wu Zhao back then."
