Tianpeng Rebirth: The Battle of Buddhism and Taoism

Chapter 5: Buddhism’s Counterattack

Bajie, Yang Jian and Ao Bing returned from the underworld with the "Reverse Disk of Samsara". Before they had time to carefully study the use of this mysterious magic weapon, Buddhism had already launched a fierce counterattack.

When the Tathagata Buddha learned that they had obtained the "Reverse Disk of Samsara", he knew that if this treasure was used to fight against Buddhism, it would bring huge trouble. So he sent Manjusri, one of the four great bodhisattvas under his seat, to lead the eighteen kalas and five hundred arhats to come and take back the magic weapon.

Manjusri Bodhisattva rode on a green lion, holding the sword of wisdom, and led the mighty Buddhist army to the temporary residence of Bajie and others. This place was originally an abandoned Taoist temple. Not long after Bajie and the other two settled here, they felt the overwhelming pressure of Buddhism.

"Marshal Tianpeng, Yang Jian, Ao Bing, you dare to go against Buddhism and steal the treasures of the underworld. Today is your doomsday!" The voice of Manjushri Bodhisattva resounded like a loud bell, shaking the tiles of the Taoist temple.

Holding a nine-toothed rake, Bajie stood in front of the Taoist temple and shouted, "I am not afraid of you bald donkeys! You Buddhists are trying to control the world, but we are just trying to bring justice to the world!"

Yang Jian held a three-pointed, double-edged sword with a determined look in his eyes, while Ao Bing held the spear tightly, exuding a cold aura from his body. The three of them were ready for battle.

The battle broke out instantly, and the five hundred Arhats chanted in unison. Golden Buddha light shot up into the sky, condensing into huge Buddha palms, which fell towards Bajie and the other two. The eighteen Jialans flashed, each using their magical powers to attack them from different directions.

Manjusri Bodhisattva rode on a green lion, wielding the Sword of Wisdom, and a sharp sword energy rushed straight towards Yang Jian. Yang Jian opened his heavenly eye, and a golden light collided with the sword energy, bursting out with a strong light. Ao Bing used the water control technique, and a huge water dragon roared towards the group of Arhats, dispersing many of the Buddha's palms.

Bajie waved his rake and rushed towards the Eighteen Galans. He used the skills he learned in the fairyland, and the rake shone brightly, engaging in close combat with the Galans. For a moment, the light of the magic weapon and the magic power intertwined, and the whole sky was illuminated with colorful colors.

However, the Buddhist sect had many people and the Manjusri Bodhisattva was very powerful, so Bajie and the other two gradually fell into trouble. In the fierce battle, Ao Bing was hit by the Buddha's light of an arhat and vomited blood. Yang Jian also felt tremendous pressure in the confrontation with Manjusri Bodhisattva.

Bajie was extremely worried when he saw the injured Ao Bing and the increasingly exhausted Yang Jian. He suddenly thought of the "Reverse Wheel of Samsara". Although he had not yet fully mastered its use, he could only try it out at this moment.

Bajie quickly took out the "Reverse Disk of Samsara" and tried to stimulate the power in it. He continuously injected his magic power into the reverse disk, and the reverse disk began to slowly rotate, emitting a strange and powerful light.

As the light of the Nipan shone brightly, the surrounding time and space seemed to be distorted. Bajie concentrated his mind and, relying on his instinct, guided the power of the Nipan towards the Buddhists.

In an instant, the Buddhists felt that they were trapped in a strange vortex of time and space. Some Arhats seemed to see their past lives and their minds were in chaos. Manjusri Bodhisattva also felt a powerful force trying to disrupt his magic power. He frowned and tried his best to resist.

Taking advantage of the confusion among the Buddhists, Yang Jian seized the opportunity and used his strongest move "Heaven Punishment and God Destruction". A bright light burst out from his three-pointed double-edged sword and slashed towards Manjusri Bodhisattva. Manjusri Bodhisattva had to temporarily give up attacking Bajie and concentrate on dealing with Yang Jian's attack.

Ao Bing also endured the pain and summoned the powerful water force again. Together with Bajie, he used the power of "Reincarnation Disk" to launch a counterattack against the Buddhist army. Under the joint attack of the three, the offensive of the Buddhists was temporarily suppressed.

But Manjusri Bodhisattva was powerful after all, and he quickly stabilized his position. He chanted something, and the sword of wisdom in his hand shone brightly, blocking Yang Jian's attack and organizing the Buddhists to attack again.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and the battle became more intense. At this time, Bajie suddenly found some strange runes flashing on the "Reincarnation Disk". He thought that this might be the key to solving the current dilemma. So, while resisting the attacks of the Buddhist sect, he tried to interpret the information contained in these runes...

As he read the runes more deeply, Bajie gradually realized a new use of the "Reverse Disk of Reincarnation". He concentrated all his energy and activated the Reverse Disk again according to the instructions of the runes. This time, the light released by the Reverse Disk was no longer a simple force impact, but formed a huge reincarnation channel, emitting a breathtaking power.

"Follow me into the reincarnation channel, maybe we can get out of this predicament!" Bajie shouted loudly. Yang Jian and Ao Bing did not hesitate and followed Bajie into the reincarnation channel.

Manjusri Bodhisattva was furious when he saw that they had used the "Reverse Disk of Samsara" to open an unknown passage and escaped into it. However, he was well aware of the dangers of the Samsara passage and did not dare to rush in. In desperation, he had to temporarily return to the West with the Buddhists to report to the Tathagata Buddha.

After entering the reincarnation channel, Bajie and the other two felt dizzy and the surrounding scene kept changing. They didn't know where this channel would lead them, but they understood that this might be their only chance to escape the pursuit of the Buddhist sect and continue to prepare for the confrontation plan...
