Chapter 799: Last time he came to steal, this time he came to rob!
Xiniu Hezhou, Jetavana Monastery in Savatthi.

The Jetavana Monastery was originally a vast garden. After the Buddha preached and recited the sutras here, it became a holy place of Western Buddhism. There are many pagodas in the garden, including twelve stupas, seventy-two lecture halls, three thousand six hundred houses and five hundred pavilions. It is grand in scale.

At this time, the monastery was bustling with people. Nearly one million Western Christians gathered here, waiting for the Buddha to manifest his golden body and lead all suffering beings to the other shore.

Although the salvation ceremony at the Bunolinda Temple was a complete failure, none of the more than 300,000 Western Christian believers ascended to heaven, and even only a few actually died and entered reincarnation.

The Western religion's salvation plan was not abolished because of this setback, and it is still proceeding step by step.

Under the propaganda and organization of monks, major temples, monasteries and Buddhist holy sites in Xiniu Hezhou have attracted a large number of believers from all over the country.

Mahakala Bodhisattva stood on the altar in the center of Jetavana, looking around with his divine eye between his eyebrows opened with a little nervousness.

"Venerable Wei De, the ceremony is about to begin. What are you still looking for?"

A monk with fleshy hair beside him asked curiously, "If you are worried that the demon insects will attack you when the sandstorms blow up like they did at the Buno Linda Temple, please don't worry. I have a wind-calming pearl that can calm the strong winds, and my mount, the viper, is the king of all insects. I can release it to suppress the insect swarm, and this salvation ceremony will be a complete success."

"Venerable Lingji, I am not worried about the invasion of demonic insects, but I am afraid that the evil god Wen Rui will come to disrupt the situation again."

Mahakala Bodhisattva smiled bitterly and said, "If that fellow hadn't sabotaged the ceremony last time, how could the ceremony fail? Last time, whether it was the wind and sand, the swarm of insects, or the centipede, they were all under my control. Only the shameless sneak attack by the evil god Wen Rui was hard to guard against."

"Please rest assured, Venerable. The Buddha sent Lingji and me to help you just to guard against Wenrui. Last time, you were alone and fell victim to the evildoers' schemes. If the evil god dares to take advantage of the situation this time, I will make sure he never returns."

The one who spoke was a blue-colored, angry-looking Vajra with a vajra in his hand, three eyes on his head and a majestic and ferocious face.

This Dharma protector of Buddhism is none other than Vajrapani Bodhisattva, who is known together with Mahakala Bodhisattva as the left and right guardian Bodhisattvas of the Western Religion.

It is never too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost.

Having learned the lesson from the great failure of Bunolinda Temple, the Western Church was more wary of Wenrui than of the demon insects, and in addition to sending Lingji Bodhisattva, they also specially sent Vajrapani Bodhisattva.

Before the three Bodhisattvas left Lingshan, the Buddha had already instructed that if, like last time, Wen Rui took advantage of the insect hunting opportunity to jump out to rescue people, Lingji Bodhisattva would suppress the insect swarm alone, while Mahakala Bodhisattva and Vajrapani Bodhisattva would work together to suppress Wen Rui.

Two against one, the advantage is on my side!
Obviously, Wen Rui's danger assessment level in the Western Church has been raised again, and even a Bodhisattva can't deal with him.

No matter whether there are five hundred or three thousand Arhats, they are all sitting ducks in front of him.

The three Bodhisattvas looked towards the direction of Lingshan Mountain and sensed that the opportunity and the auspicious time had arrived. They then sat cross-legged in a Chinese character "品" shape, facing the west, silently chanting sutras for rebirth, and working together to release thousands of feet of Buddha's light.

Seeing this, all the living beings and thousands of believers in the audience bowed down and paid homage, and chanted Buddhist scriptures with the three Bodhisattvas together, trying to eliminate the sins of this life, repent sincerely, and seek liberation.

The timing of the start of the ceremony was very precise. Soon after the sound of chanting began, a large dark cloud floated over from the distant horizon.

After the great drought began in the mortal world, it was rare to see large dark clouds in the sky, or even scattered white clouds. Many believers whose faith in Buddhism was not strong could not help but be distracted and turned to look towards the southern sky out of curiosity.

As the dark cloud that covered half the sky slowly drifted from far away, the faint buzzing sound became louder and louder, and people finally saw clearly that the dark cloud was actually made up of countless mosquitoes.

The dark clouds stopped moving when they floated over Savatthi, covering the entire city. The mosquitoes hovering in the air with their wings flapped in the same direction, increasing the frequency of their flapping wings. The dry weather, which was originally windless, suddenly blew up with gusts of wind for no reason. The wind became stronger and stronger, and the roofs of the huts and wooden houses in Savatthi were lifted up by the strong wind. Dust rose with the wind, and the sky gradually became gray.

"The message was delivered exactly to the second!"

Bodhisattva Lingji stood up suddenly and spit out a green gem from his mouth. The gem hung above the monastery. The wind that had just risen gradually subsided, the floating sand and dust fell to the ground, and the dim sky became clear again.

Mahakala Bodhisattva put his hands together and chanted the Vajra Mantra. A huge golden shield covered the entire garden, protecting millions of believers.

"Last time, the demon worms used the dust to obscure their vision and block their divine senses, so they successfully launched a surprise attack and caught the monks of the Bunolinda Temple off guard."

The Great Power Bodhisattva said bitterly: "After the battle, we found out that the number of insects lacking blood from the sea of ​​blood was far less than expected. If it weren't for the evil god Wen Rui's interference, the salvation ceremony would have succeeded."

"But this time, after the sandstorm cleared and we could see the enemy clearly, we didn't expect the number of insects to be much larger than we imagined, at least ten times more than last time. What's going on?"

"I think that the devil Taoist Mosquito must have learned a lesson from his failure and is worried about Wen Rui's attack, so he increased his troops."

Bodhisattva Lingji thought for a moment and replied, "In the battle at Bu Temple, Wen Rui killed far more demon insects than the monks and believers. The Thunder Dharmakaya can be called the nemesis of demon insects. If I were Taoist Mosquito, I would have to be on guard."

Vajrapani Bodhisattva smiled and said in a voice as loud as a bell: "This time, no matter whether it is the demon insect or Wen Rui, the devil is one foot high and the Buddha is ten feet high. We have been prepared. If he dares to show up, we will definitely capture him and escort him to Lingshan to be handed over to the Buddha for punishment!"

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a large white cloud floating towards him from the southern sky.

The white clouds bypassed the dark clouds and covered the other half of the sky of Savatthi. There were two distinct clouds, one black and one white, in the sky, as if dividing the blue sky into two.

The three Bodhisattvas had excellent vision through their clairvoyance. They looked closely and saw that the person standing at the head of the white clouds was none other than the sanctimonious, dignified and awe-inspiring evil god Wen Rui!

This time, he didn't sneak out from the ground to rescue people, but robbed and rescued people from the sky openly!
Behind Wen Rui was the Heavenly Army with its neat military appearance, awe-inspiring majesty and inviolable power.

The Four Heavenly Kings each hold a law-enforcement treasure and are arranged in the east, west, south and north directions.

The Eastern Heavenly King Dhritarashtra, Mo Li Hai, holds a jasper pipa, the sound of the strings is clear and mysterious;

The Southern Heavenly King, Mo Liqing, holds a sword of azure light, which is extremely cold and sharp.

The Western Guangmu Heavenly King, Mo Lishou, is surrounded by a jade dragon, with its fangs and claws bared;

The Northern Heavenly King of Wealth, Mo Lihong, holds up the Hunyuan Pearl Umbrella. The umbrella rotates and the wind and clouds change color.

The twenty-eight constellations, all wearing helmets and armor, stepping on the stars, each holding a weapon, with starlight shining, formed a battle formation.

Thirty-six thunder generals surrounded the area, holding thunder drills and thunder hammers in their hands. They were surrounded by lightning and thunder could be heard faintly.

In addition, there were the four great marshals of Ma, Zhao, Wen and Guan, who were majestic and awe-inspiring, leading the heavenly soldiers and generals, advancing like a wall, with swords and spears like a forest, swords and halberds like sharp blades, and spears shining brightly, making the clouds in the sky turn blood-red.

The heavenly soldiers were arrayed in layers, stretching across the sky without end. Where the flags were waving, the wind was howling, chilling the whole sky. In the array, the morale was high as a rainbow, and they shouted in unison, shaking the sky. It was truly "the heavenly soldiers were arrayed, and the demons on earth were frightened"!
