The journey to the west is bound to become uneven.
This is not only Zhunti's exclamation, but also Jie Yin's recognition.
What can he do if he catches up? It's just a matter of soldiers coming to stop him. Jieyin is still very confident in the strength of Buddhism and has nothing to fear. A slight loss is nothing to him as a saint, not to mention that the general trend is on Buddhism's side.
But no matter what happens next, this hurdle must be passed. It is also an opportunity to completely block this excuse. Reaching an agreement means that the originally negotiated routine can continue. If the negotiation fails, it will be really troublesome.
The saint was thinking. Trillions of thoughts only lasted a moment. Countless possibilities flashed through his mind, and the biggest possibility was brought out by him.
"Haotian really has a good plan!"
"The evil spirit will never die!"
Zhunti also calculated the greatest possibility. It was Haotian who was asking for dominance, not the dominance of Journey to the West, but the dominance of the Buddhist forces in Heaven. To put it bluntly, Haotian didn't speak, and the Buddhism in Heaven
If there is no movement at all, if Haotian speaks, the Buddhist personnel in heaven must execute it.
This is not an ordinary power. If Jieyin and Zhunti nod, the secret will show that the saint represents the way of heaven under certain circumstances. Based on this nod, Haotian is equivalent to obtaining the decree of the saint. Once the Buddhist sect in heaven fails to follow the
If Haotian's intention is carried out, the butcher's knife will fall. At that time, there will be no way for Jieyin Zhunti to do anything.
It should be noted that the saint's verbal agreement cannot be reneged on even if it is his own. This is not just a simple matter of face, but will it backfire on himself? Will it cause their cultivation level to decline? After tens of millions of years of accumulation, it is very likely that they will return to liberation once
Before? This is definitely not what the saint wants.
What should be noted? At the stage of saints, it becomes very difficult to improve even a little bit of cultivation? Stagnation is already unacceptable to them, let alone a decline?
"Senior brother? What should I do? Are you really agreeing to Haotian? It will be difficult for Buddhism in heaven in the future!"
Heavenly Court is the traditional sphere of influence of the Three Qing Dynasties. Buddhism has finally managed to win over some of them, but it has little say. Giving it to Haotian? It is tantamount to giving up this right to say. When expressing opinions, you can only act based on Haotian's face, and
, if you still don’t get Haotian’s respect and rewards, does it count as doing dirty work? It’s like doing work for nothing.
Will this kind of behavior last for a long time? Those immortals and gods in heaven who have taken refuge in Buddhism must be disloyal. In the future, no immortals will be willing to collude with Buddhism? If Buddhism wants to do things, they can only pay temporary benefits? Let’s talk about the one-size-fits-all approach.
Good words? It is absolutely impossible for the gods in heaven to take action personally.
Is it just an agreement? But the sacrifice is not that big.
Jie Yin and Zhunti frowned and hesitated.
Journey to the West is the key to the great prosperity of Buddhism. If Buddhism cannot be spread to the East, it means it cannot be spread to the human race. It should be noted that the Tang Dynasty in the East represents the orthodoxy of the human race. Without this introduction, Buddhism will always be rootless. For the smooth progress of the Journey to the West
, Buddhism has been calculating since the ancient times. When things come to a close, how can we give up? No matter how much benefit we have, we are willing to pay.
It can be said that if you really want to cut off the benefits of flesh and blood, Jingyin Zhunti, who is used to instigating you, is really reluctant to part with it.
"Senior brother, why don't you let Tathagata come for a visit?"
"It's useless! Haotian has made his mind clear. Let alone the Tathagata, even if your three corpses transform into Bodhi, it will be useless. Haotian can't drag down the killers, and the promotion of the westward journey cannot be carried out!"
"Then what should we do? We can't let the underworld send the souls of brother Li Shimin to go out, right?"
"Junior brother, Ksitigarbha's meritorious deeds for hundreds of millions of years only get the cooperation of the underworld, and letting the underworld loose its mouth is no worse than Haotian's plan! Even if Houtu doesn't leave the underworld, how many things can be hidden from her in the earthly immortal world?"
"Why don't we aggrieve Ksitigarbha again? Anyway, he also vowed that 'hell will not be empty and he will never become a Buddha'. The merits accumulated in the future will not improve his cultivation. So what if he promises to go to the underworld for hundreds of millions of years? Moreover, the plan of the underworld is
Pulling it out can also make Haotian understand that he is not the only way out for us. By then, even if the underworld is unwilling, we can still bargain with Haotian for more!"
"What my junior brother said makes sense, let your incarnation go through the underworld!"
As soon as Jieyin agreed, Bodhi from the Earthly Immortal Realm walked out of the Xie Yue Sanxing Cave and headed towards the underworld. Along the way, Patriarch Bodhi did not hide anything and made it clear that he was just for Haotian to see.
In heaven, Patriarch Bodhi was displayed in front of Haotian's eyes, causing Haotian to twitch the corner of his mouth slightly. He really was not afraid of this. As the emperor of heaven, how could he not understand how difficult that person from the underworld was?
Ksitigarbha's hundreds of millions of years of meritorious deeds only resulted in Sun Monkey's life. It is already very difficult for the underworld to release the souls of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in violation of regulations. What's more, to scare a 'human king', this is not only against the underworld.
The rules are even more harmful to the human race, but they are much more important than the life of a mere monkey.
Sun Houhou is not an ordinary person. He was originally transformed from the five-colored stone to patch the sky. He is like mother and son with Saint Nuwa. He is also a disciple of Bodhi, the three corpses of Zhunti. He can be said to be the backstage of two great saints. But even so, when his lifespan is about to end,
, the underworld took it all without fail, which all shows that the underworld is so tough and has no fear of the saint.
Only a saint can do this, and Hou Tu, as Liu Hao guessed, is a saint.
It's just that Hou Tu is the same as Hongjun. Hongjun combines with the way of heaven, and Hou Tu combines with the earth. He will not step out of the underworld without any reason.
However, in the underworld, let alone two saints, even if Hongjun comes in person, they will not get any benefit.
The term "Emperor Tianhou Tu" can only mean Hongjun Tiandao and Hou Tu Dao. The two people's identities are equal. Hou Tu is low-key. A few saints thought that Hou Tu's cultivation was equal to theirs. It was just a difference. Hou Tu
He didn't bother to explain, and he didn't pay attention to things outside the underworld. As time went by, the earthly immortal world thought that the underworld was just like that, but if he really messed around in the underworld, he would only end up in disgrace.
Patriarch Bodhi didn't know the power of this and came in a mighty way. But as soon as he entered the underworld, his eyes were filled with flowers and he couldn't decide the scene. When he regained his mind, a magnificent palace was placed in front of him. On the main entrance of the palace, there was written "Pangu"
Just one glance at the three characters "Dian" made him feel a bang in his head and stars shooting out of his head. A majestic three-corpse clone of a saint didn't even have the ability to see these three characters. How could he still not know his past mistakes?
He now understands why no one has dared to covet the treasure known to all in the 'Pangu Palace'. Judging from this situation, this 'Pangu Palace' does not possess any innate treasure.
Before the thought of Patriarch Bodhi had stopped, a woman in bright yellow palace clothes walked out of Pangu Hall. When she walked out of the hall, the sky and the earth were eclipsed. She was the only one to be respected. When Patriarch Bodhi faced her directly, it was as if she was facing the way of heaven, which was unfathomable and even unfathomable.
Dare to look directly.
"Bodhi pays homage to the saint!"
"I already know your purpose of coming. Go back! The rules of the underworld are not something you can change!"
The person who came was Hou Tu. The reason why she came forward was because someone was talking to her a few days ago, which woke her up. She checked the situation in the three realms and locked the person who was talking. After some calculations, it aroused her great interest.
The person who is talking about this is Liu Hao.
Liu Hao guessed that Hou Tu was a saint, but it was just a guess. He ignored that calling him by his first name would trigger Hou Tu's reaction, which made Hou Tu immediately focus on him.
As the holder of the Human Book, in the three realms of earth and immortality, except for the saints who rely on heaven, the soul mark of any living being is under her control. The special moment of the soul of Liu Hao from the earth made Hou Tu understand the reason.
, combined with the world passage conditions, the origin of Liu Hao has been calculated.
A creature from another world aroused Hou Tu's first interest, but he forgot it at a glance. However, with the addition of Liu Hao's 'Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Merit Ruler', Hou Tu couldn't do it without investing a lot of energy.
Others may not be able to sense it. Even Lao Tzu, who has obtained the 'Linglong Xuanhuang Pagoda of Heaven and Earth', can hardly sense the 'Xuanhuang Merit Ruler of Heaven and Earth' on Liu Hao, but Hou Tu can.
On the one hand, Hou Tu's rank is on the same level as Hongjun and one rank higher than Lao Tzu. On the other hand, it is also because of the support of Pangu Hall.
Outsiders only think that the ‘Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Merit Ruler’ and the ‘Heaven and Earth Exquisite Xuanhuang Pagoda’ are generally products of the merits of opening the sky, but this is not the case.
When Pangu opened the sky, half of his merits were attributed to the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and half of the half were transformed into the 'Lightly Black and Yellow Pagoda of Heaven and Earth';
One-quarter of the body was taken out and combined with a complete Hongmeng Purple Qi to create the Pangu Palace. The remaining merits of opening the sky were also half of the Pangu Palace, combined with a complete Hongmeng Purple Qi to become Liu Hao.
The 'Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Merit Ruler' in the hand.
Therefore, the 'Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Merit Ruler' is also called the 'Hongmeng Xuanhuang Ruler', which is both a treasure of innate merit and virtue and a spiritual treasure of chaos. Like the Pangu Palace, it is a treasure that can be used in chaos. It has escaped from the prehistoric land.
In the fairy world, the power is not diminished at all.
How could Hou Tu not be surprised when an outsider obtained the most precious treasure from ancient times? If he hadn't been worried about alarming Hongjun, Hou Tu would have wanted to take Liu Hao to the underworld for questioning.
Hou Tu has been paying attention to Liu Hao since he locked onto Liu Hao. Hou Tu has seen everything Liu Hao does subsequently, and he is more aware of the situation of Liu Hao passing down the practice system of hundreds of schools. After some calculations,
This makes it clear the origin of the upgrade of the Great Tribulation in the Earthly Immortal Realm.
She knows better than anyone where the source of today's Bodhi comes from, and what changes in the rules of the underworld are just prevaricating Bodhi. What she wants to see is that Liu Hao will escalate this catastrophe to the next level without her intervention.
To what extent.
In addition, the most important point is that Hou Tu sensed that she had an opportunity in Liu Hao, so he naturally sided with Liu Hao, and it became inevitable to reject Bodhi without hesitation.
How could Patriarch Bodhi know that the only person who could play chess with Hou Tu was Hongjun in the entire earthly immortal world? Before he could speak, he found that he had been pushed out of the underworld by Hou Tu. If he tried to enter the underworld again, he would have to find the door.
He didn't go anywhere. Obviously, this was Hou Tu's intention not to let him come again.
He sighed, and after reshaping his three views, he sent a golden light into the chaos, reaching the center of Zhunti's eyebrows in an instant.
In the chaos, several saints frowned. After a moment, one of them, Lao Tzu, opened his eyes with an incredulous look on his face.
"That's it! The way of heaven, the way of earth?"
A sigh made me improve my cultivation to a higher level. My own enlightenment is my own enlightenment. No wonder I can become the first person under the great master of heaven.
Several other saints, however, failed to see through the truth themselves and only found it very strange.
Zhunti was reminded by Bodhi and knew the reason. He was inexplicably shocked and had a little panic on his face.
"Senior brother, something big happened!"
Jie Yin sang "Amitabha" loudly, and the panic on Zhunti's face disappeared.
"Senior brother, the back earth of the underworld is a person who combines the earth and heaven, and is on the same level as the heaven! What should people do with this?"
It's no wonder that Zhunti was panicked. It should be noted that during the prehistoric period, he took action to ignite the Lich Catastrophe. He incarnated and led the ten-day volley, which really started the Lich War. This was tantamount to completely offending the two Lich clans, and the Demon clan.
Regardless, Nuwa, a saint, sat half as the emperor of the demon clan and paid almost no attention to the demon clan. This hatred also dissipated when Fuxi became the emperor, but what about the witch clan?
This is an authentic Taoist standing there in the background. Although he is watching the battle between lich and lich with a cold eye, if he does not feel hatred for him in his heart, it is definitely a lie.
There is hatred in the past, and there is hatred in the follow-up. Isn't it clear that Ksitigarbha's oath, "Hell is not empty, I will never become a Buddha" is a slap in the face of the underworld? This slap on the underworld is equivalent to a slap on the earth behind.
Being above those who are in line with the Tao, you have cut someone's face and given them all the reasons to fight back. Isn't this asking for trouble?
After listening to Zhunti's words, Jieyin was also shocked. He chanted "Amitabha" several times before calming down. He also thought of what Zhunti thought of, but the knife has been handed to the other party, so what can he do? What should I do in the future?
What you bear must be endured. Let's take care of the present first.
To be continued...
