Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-One: Free War Yang Jian
Chapter 391 Xiaoyao fights Yang Jian
Zhang Zixing briefly explained some basic views of Mahayana Buddhism in later generations to Cihang, Samantabhadra, and Manjusri. The three of them already had their hearts set on the Western way, but they were still at the primary level. This stage is the easiest to accept and learn new things.
After hearing such a superb argument, it was no less impressive than what the sage Zhunti had said. I was amazed and understood it with my heart.
Only then did Master Cihang understand why Taoist Zhunti wanted to appoint Xiaoyaozi as the third leader, and the hostility in his heart gradually turned into sincere admiration.
Zhang Zixing took out three volumes of "Books of Taoism" containing the essence of Mahayana Buddhism and gave them to Cihang and the others to understand and instill the so-called "Bodhisattva Thoughts" into these three "future" Bodhisattvas.
The thought of Bodhisattva is a major feature of Mahayana Buddhism. The so-called Bodhisattva refers to a Buddhist practitioner who has made a great vow to save all sentient beings from the sea of suffering and thereby achieve complete liberation. Mahayana Buddhists refer to Sakyamuni before he became a Buddha.
At the stage of practice, that is, in the stage of practicing "Bodhisattva conduct", it serves as an example for one's own practice. Therefore, Mahayana Buddhists advocate that you can practice at home, and do not emphasize that you must practice as a monk like Theravada Buddhists. This is also the difference between Mahayana and Hinayana.
One of the important differences.
There are many Bodhisattvas in the world of Mahayana Buddhism, the first of which are Ksitigarbha, Avalokitesvara, Manjushri and Samantabhadra. Now Zhang Zixing is talking about Bodhisattva thoughts in front of the three future Bodhisattvas, which can be regarded as "playing tricks" in a sense.
Zhang Zixing said with a serious face: "Three Taoist friends, this book is the essence of what I have learned about Buddhism throughout my life. Even the Zhunti saint of that day still praised myself. Since the three of them are dedicated to the Tao, they can be regarded as like-minded, so I
I will not hesitate to show my shame, so I will give it to the three of you. You may wish to study this book carefully. If you succeed, you can secretly go to the West to teach a group and ask for an audience with Saint Zhunti. After meeting Zhunti, expressly offer three volumes of Taoism and wish to worship him.
Under the disciples of Saint Chunti, one must be an independent Bodhisattva and practice wholeheartedly. Except for Master Chunti, one is not subject to any restraint from the leader or the three leaders of the religion. If not, one will be cut off from Western religions."
"Sage Chunti will definitely agree when he sees that the three of you are proficient in the essence of Buddhism and have extraordinary qualifications. From now on, the three Taoist friends can rest assuredly under the disciples of Saint Chunti and practice their own way. They no longer have to worry about Randeng Taoist. I pray for you on this path.
The supreme Buddha can free himself from life and death, and can transform countless sentient beings to escape the sea of life and death. It is very easy to be accepted by people. If they can spread their teachings to a wide range of believers, the reputation of the three Bodhisattvas will be far away in people's eyes, and even the magical powers of Buddhism will be far away.
On top of the burning lamp, even if he hangs the false title of the Three Cult Leaders, he can only do nothing."
When the three immortals of Cihang heard this, their eyes lit up. They looked at the three volumes of Taoism in their hands and quickly thanked Zhang Zixing. Immortal Cihang said: "My Taoist friend is righteous, repaying evil with kindness, and gifted these three volumes of Taoism. The three of us will remember it in our hearts.
, I offended many people on Sanxian Island that day, and I hope fellow Taoists will forgive me. Throughout our lives, we will not dare to be enemies with fellow Taoists again. If we have the opportunity in the future, we will repay the great kindness. However, if I ask the saint's question
Given the origin of this Taoist book, how will we answer it?"
When Zhang Zixing heard Master Cihang sincerely express his gratitude, he felt happy in his heart: He gave someone a good beating, but in the end he had to be thanked a thousand times. For such a thing, the more the merrier.
Although he thought so in his heart, he said: "The three volumes of these Taoist books are all based on what I have learned from a heavenly book: 'There is no self-nature, all dharmas have no self'." The book list of that day was at the place where Taoists were mentioned.
, if he asks about the source of the three volumes of Taoism, he can answer truthfully, but he must convey a message to this saint on my behalf, 'Before coming to the sun array, I only ask for a word from the West'."
When the Three Immortals heard that "Dependent origin has no self-nature, all dharmas have no self", they only felt that it was extremely sublime. The rest of them did not know its meaning, but they still kept it in mind. And Zhang Zixing's words were, firstly, to play hard to get, to confuse Zhenti.
, so as not to cause suspicion by selling personal favors out of thin air. Secondly, this is also related to the development of an extremely important plan in the future.
Master Cihang agreed and suddenly asked: "That day on Sanxian Island, my Taoist friend once said, 'All dharmas are empty when one observes freedom'. I dare to ask how can one 'observe' freedom?"
Zhang Zixing was stunned, but he didn't expect that Master Cihang really had deep "wisdom": "Well, it just so happens that when you are not very "educated", you can be a guest mentor to enlighten you, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.
"The word 'Guan' means 'leaving the realm'. Away from the realm of the three realms, the realm of six dusts, the realm of human beings and heaven, and the current realm, one can observe one's own mind. If one observes the mind, there is no mind.
The sky is silent, all dharmas are like illusions, and you are at ease with all dharmas!" After Zhang Zixing explained, he added: "This explanation is all in the three volumes of Taoism. The three of you can understand it by yourself.
All doubts can be solved. But the three of you must remember that although there are thousands of ways to practice this Tao, there is one principle in the end. It is not to learn Buddhism to become a Buddha, nor to practice Tao for the sake of attaining the Tao. People have no self, and the Dharma has no self.
You can achieve the state of mind you have attained."
After listening to his explanation, the three immortals of Cihang Master felt that their minds suddenly broadened, and they felt as if they were overjoyed to hear the Tao for the first time. They believed deeply in the three volumes of Taoism. The three of them were eager to return to the cave to understand what they had just learned.
Three volumes of Taoist books, after accepting the magic weapon returned by Zhang Zixing, thanked him again and left.
Sanxiao, Princess Longji and others couldn't help but be surprised when they saw that their husband had taken away the purple barrier, and the three immortals of Chanjiao bowed respectfully and left, and it ended in peace. This time, Zhang Zixing acted as a "magic stick"
, after bragging for a while, he actually settled the matter and made the plan smoothly implemented, so he was very proud of himself.
After seeing off the three immortals, Zhang Zixing returned to Sanxiao and Princess Longji. Seeing the admiring expressions on the faces of Ao Guang, his son, and Fairy Magu, he immediately acted like a master who was unfazed by honor and disgrace.
But Bixiao whispered quietly from the side: "You're still pretending, even your eyes are smiling so proudly!"
Even Princess Long Ji couldn't help but purse her lips and smile when she heard this. Zhang Zixing was thick-skinned after all and pretended not to hear.
Ao Guang still didn't know that this Imperial Master was his son's bad master, and he was extremely grateful to Zhang Zixing. If it hadn't been for this Imperial Master today, I'm afraid there would have been a big disaster in the entire East China Sea. Ao Bing and Fairy Magu also came over.
After paying homage to this "elder of the master", Zhang Zixing secretly thought that what happened to Ao Bing today was actually the result of his unintentional directing back then. Now that he can bring about a marriage between Ao Bing and this beautiful "Magu" fairy, it can be regarded as a blessing.
A happy ending.
Ao Guang expressed his gratitude and invited the five people to visit the Crystal Palace and expressed his deep gratitude. Zhang Zixing thought of the East China Sea Base and Daiyu Fairy Mountain and wanted to go to Xuanzhong Island where Jiang Wenqiang, Yang Jiu and Huang Feiyan were, but declined the Dragon King's invitation.
With good intentions, he just said that the emperor was his elder brother, and asked Ao Guang to take more care of the emperor's secret palace. If there was any situation, he should be sent to Chaoge immediately to report. Ao Guang agreed wholeheartedly.
Ao Guang was good at observing words and deeds. When he saw that Zhang Zixing and the four girls seemed to have other interests, he did not dare to disturb him. He wisely took Ao Bing and Fairy Magu back to the sea. As soon as Ao Guang left, Zhang Zixing immediately showed the pride that he had suppressed for a long time.
With such a look on his face, he started to show off his "excellent performance" just now. He almost took off his clothes and posed in front of several beauties, shaking his "tendon meat", which made the girls laugh. Yun Xiao knew that this would be the right person.
The husband did this on purpose, to make his sister happy, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He looked at Zhang Zixing with a touch of affection in his eyes.
Just when Zhang Zixing and the girls had discussed the trip to Xuanzhong Island and were about to leave, a loud shout came from the horizon: "Xiaoyaozi, please leave!"
Then I saw a golden light flying like lightning, turning into a person, hanging in the air. This person had a cloud crown on his head, was wearing a hydration suit, and silk and hemp shoes. He had a handsome appearance and a three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand. He was none other than Yang Jian.
.
Yang Jian waved his three-pointed two-edged sword, pointed it at Zhang Zixing, and shouted: "Xiaoyaozi! You are indeed here! Today I will avenge my master and take your life!"
That day, Bingxue had reported the battle between Yang Jian and Ran Deng. Zhang Zixing knew that Yang Jian had had some kind of adventure recently and had greatly improved his strength, but he was not Ran Deng, so how could he be afraid? He then sneered and said: "It's you! What are you capable of?
, how dare you speak so boldly!”
When the two sides were confronting each other, another ray of yellow light flew over and stopped behind Yang Jian. It was the panting Master Huang Long.
Zhenren Huanglong shouted loudly in Jinxia Cave before, which finally alerted Yang Jian who was in seclusion. Zhenren Huanglong was the best friend of Zhenren Yuding, so Yang Jian always respected him. After he came out of the cave to see Zhenren Huanglong, he heard that Xiaoyaozi was in the East China Sea Crystal Palace.
Hatred suddenly arose in the sea area, and without waiting for Master Huang Long to finish speaking, he flew straight towards the East China Sea.
Master Huang Long was not slow in his escape, but compared to Yang Jian, he was a little behind. He came at full speed, but was still far behind. When he saw Master Cihang, Master Puxian and Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun all gone, he couldn't help but
He was startled and asked: "Xiaoyaozi! Where have my three Taoist brothers gone? Could it be that they were poisoned by you?"
Zhang Zixing shook his head and said: "Cihang, Samantabhadra, and Manjusri are not as good as others. After being defeated by me, they all reflected on their mistakes and said that today's incident in the East China Sea was originally caused by you using your power to bully others. The three of them came because of the friendship of the same family.
, In fact, I felt guilty. I thought these three people were sincere, so I let them go back to the mountain. To be fair, Fairy Magu and you are over. The events in "Yin Yang Policy" are also a cycle of cause and effect. Things return to their original owners. Which one is right and which one is wrong?
, you yourself know it well. This time you want to poison the entire East China Sea for your own sake, which can be said to be a serious sin. I heard that the new leader of the third sect of the Western Sect, Ren Deng Taoist, hates you to the bone, and threatens that anyone who takes you forward will be greatly thanked.
If you still don't know how to repent, I will destroy the Canglan Dragon Pearl, then take you down and send you to Ran Deng Taoist for disposal!"
When Master Huanglong heard that he said that the Three Immortals Cihang had admitted their mistake and left, he was in disbelief. When he heard the second half, he couldn't help but shudder. Taoist Randeng's plot was exposed, he broke the religion and left, and was chased by the saint.
, were all caused by him. If Xiaoyaozi really destroyed the dragon ball and then handed him over to Randen Taoist, life would be worse than death.
When Yang Jian heard him talk about Ran Deng Taoist, he snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of those rebellious people who break the religion? Since we meet here today, there is no good thing. Either you die or I die!"
Without saying much, Yang Jian raised a three-pointed, two-edged sword and flew towards him with great force. Bi Xiao, who was behind Zhang Zixing, resented Yang Jian's involuntary attack and shouted: "You rude person, watch and get beaten!"
After Bixiao finished speaking, a ray of light shot out of his hand very quickly, hitting Yang Jian's chest. This force was so huge that with Yang Jian's cultivation level, he was knocked upside down and fell into the sea.
.
This magic weapon was originally refined by Bixiao. He was very happy to succeed this time and took back the brilliance. It turned out to be a short ruler that looked like gold but not gold. Master Huanglong was shocked when he saw this thing.
: "Qiankun Ruler! Could it be that you are really colluding with that rebellious Ran Deng?"
Zhang Zixing's heart moved, and he was about to say a few words, but Bixiao snorted disdainfully: "Who is Ran Deng Taoist, and who has colluded with him? This Qiankun Ruler was taken advantage of by Ran Deng, my Sanxian Island,
In times of crisis, we collected the proceeds. If you dare to be so speechless again, I will let you have a taste of the power!"
Zhang Zixing originally wanted to use the topic to his advantage, but when he heard Bixiao's assertion, he couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly: This wife is good at everything, but she is too straightforward and doesn't know how to use some tricks... (Bixiao: Humph! If only I were smart.
How could I be easily deceived by you?)
Master Huanglong knew the power of the Qiankun Ruler and was worried about Yang Jian's safety. He was about to explore the sea when he saw a flash of golden light and Yang Jian appeared in front of him again. His whole body, including the area where he was hit by the attack, was not damaged at all.
There was a cold light in Yang Jian's eyes, and it fell on the Qiankun Ruler in Bixiao's hand. He said solemnly: "How can such a magic weapon do anything to me? I will repay the gift of this ruler twice in time."
Zhang Zixing was furious, flew forward, with murderous intent in his eyes, and shouted: "Yang Jian! Who do you think you are? You threaten my wife. I wanted to let you live today, but now that you are so reckless, I will do it for you."
!”
Yang Jian did not show off his rhetoric. The three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand glowed with a faint golden glow. In an instant, it transformed into three handles, which could be chopped, stabbed, or whittled, and came straight towards Zhang Zixing. Zhang Zixing did not avoid it.
Not letting go, the golden sword in his hand drew an arc of light, encircling all three three-pointed two-edged knives. With a shock of immortal power, two of the knives were instantly shattered. Although the real one was not damaged, it almost caused Yang Jian's death.
The hands were unsteady and he almost lost his grip.
Yang Jian only felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, and was secretly frightened. He had recently received guidance from Yuanshi Tianzun, and his skills had made great progress. However, he had never expected that Xiaoyaozi was so powerful, and he immediately stopped looking down on him. He combined the Eighty-nine Mysterious Skills with
The mysterious celestial power of the Nine Transformation Mysterious Skills combined into one was unleashed, a crystal meaning appeared on his face, he flicked the three-pointed two-edged sword, and attacked again.
Zhang Zixing only felt that the immortal power coming from Yang Jian's weapon was very powerful. The power of each blow seemed to be astonishing. It was also light and agile, and it operated smoothly. It was by no means brute force. However, the intensity of this power was far higher than before.
On top of the combined attack of Cihang's three immortals, it seems that Yang Jian does have the capital to be proud. While Zhang Zixing was secretly surprised, he deliberately frustrated Yang Jian's spirit and strengthened the immortal power on the Dingshang Sword, but he did not use the immortal skills.
Open up and fight head-on with the opponent.
Amidst the sound of gold and iron clashing, Yang Jian's body kept retreating, and his eyes finally showed a look of horror. The sword was a light and agile thing, but Xiaoyaozi used a sword to catch his own three-pointed two-edged sword, and he actually forced himself to do so.
Back off! Since the Eighty-nine Mysterious Skills and the Nine-turn Mysterious Skills were combined into one, and with the power of the elixir and the guidance of Yuanshi Tianzun, Yang Jian has miraculously broken through the Golden Immortal level and advanced to the Mysterious Immortal level. The Nine-Nine Mysterious Skills integrated into one
He has also gradually reached the state of great achievement. Outside he has a vajra body with eight or nine profound skills, and inside he has nine-turn immortal consciousness. He cultivates both the inside and outside, and integrates them into one. The whole person is like a powerful humanoid weapon. It is not an ordinary mysterious immortal.
Opponent. If he meets Taoist Ran Deng again at this time, Yang Jian is absolutely sure to win.
But the strength shown by Xiaoyaozi now makes Yang Jian unbelievable. Back then, Xiaoyaozi used the formation to defeat Master Yuding and Guangchengzi. His strength was nothing more than the Golden Immortal level. But now his cultivation has regressed bizarrely, and he looks nothing more than that.
In the realm of true immortals, the power displayed is much more terrifying than that of ordinary mysterious immortals! What is going on? Is he hiding his strength?
Zhang Zixing flicked his wrist, and a strong force sent Yang Jian flying several feet, and sneered: "Although you have entered the country, it is nothing more than that. Today I will let you know what it means that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world!"
As he spoke, the Ding Shang Sword in Zhang Zixing's hand transformed into circles of light, covering Yang Jian in it. The entire space where Yang Jian's figure was located became hazy. When Master Huang Long saw this move, he immediately showed a nervous look.
This is exactly what Zhang Zixing used to defeat the three great warriors just now, the Immortal Trapping Sword Qi!
Yang Jian saw that the opponent's sword power changed, and the surrounding force field changed suddenly. He was secretly vigilant and channeled his immortal power to protect his whole body. Unexpectedly, the force field seemed to have some kind of strange power, the protective immortal power.
Unexpectedly, every thread was pulled away involuntarily, and his whole body felt much heavier. Yang Jian shouted, his immortal power suddenly surged, and strong flames came out of his body, gold on the outside and white on the inside, very shining, the power of the sword was strong
The influence of this flame gradually weakened. Yang Jian was about to break out of the trap, but he didn't know that the power of the sword had changed again, melting the power of the flame in a strange rhythm, making it dim a lot, and the surrounding pressure
It increased again.
Yang Jian's surprise was nothing trivial. His golden and jade divine flame was a secret technique newly passed down by Yuanshi Tianzun. It integrated the power of the nine-united body into the true fire and multiplied it several times to emit it. It could be used both offensively and defensively, compared to the Qingyun Lotus.
The magical power also has wonderful uses. Even ordinary magic weapons will be melted by this golden flame, but now they are no match for the strange power of this sword!
In fact, Zhang Zixing never thought that Yang Jian's body-protecting flames had such strong resistance. Fortunately, he increased his strength in time and stabilized the trapped immortal sword energy. However, not long after, Zhang Zixing began to feel that there seemed to be something wrong with the immortal power.
Next, thinking of the instructions of Master Tongtian, I understood in my heart: The purpose of Master Tongtian giving the four sword spirits is to allow the four people to understand the four sword spirits, and then they can freely use the four swords of Zhu Xian to exert their powerful power. Although it was agreed upon
The sword is fused with the Soul-devouring Xuanyuan Sword. It has extraordinary quality, but after all, it is not a true Fallen Immortal Sword. Because the Fallen Immortal Sword is condensed from the four innate qi, it is extremely special. If it is not issued by the True Fallen Immortal Sword itself, its power will naturally be much weaker.
, and the amount of immortal power consumed is also extremely huge.
Zhang Zixing used the Tai Chi Immortal Technique to fuse the Immortal Sword Qi, so his "lasting power" was far better than that of ordinary people, but there was a limit. After he relied on this sword Qi to defeat the three great warriors, he encountered the intense power of Yang Jian's golden and jade divine flames.
It rebounded, so it was inevitable that he would be unable to sustain his strength. Zhang Zixing's original intention of using the Immortal Trapping Sword Qi was to further become proficient and refined through actual combat. Now that he was about to exceed his limit, there was no need to force it.
This Immortal Sword Qi is just a new skill that Zhang Zixing has learned. He has completely digested the power of the sixth-grade lotus platform and the five-color essence stone in the Nuwa Empress' Mountain and River Sheji Map for three hundred years, and has also made his original magical power more mature.
It's perfect, and I've also learned a lot of new magical effects. Now I meet Yang Jian, an enemy who is not weak, and it's time to test his power.
