Section 147 Lingshan's response
Lingshan City, Daleiyin Temple.
The two Buddhas, Raindeng, sat upright in the hall, muttering words, and the gods and Buddhas stood in order at His Highness, bowing their heads and chanting sutras. There were also hundreds of bodies of those who died in battle in the hall, and the gods and Buddhas were chanting the mantra for them.
Although they know that the deceased have all their souls and souls, the two Buddhas personally presided over the salvation of them, which can be regarded as a glory. I think it is enough to comfort their lifelong wishes.
After chanting the mantra of rebirth nine times, nuns and monks sent the deceased to the pagoda forest behind Lingshan for burial.
The pagoda was originally the highest level funeral after the death of Buddhist monks in the secular world. There was no pagoda on Lingshan. After all, the fall of gods and Buddhas was not a common thing. It was only after the last Battle of Flame Mountain that the Buddha had personally ordered to build it. However, it was unexpected that the area of the Talindrome would double in just a few years.
Watching the monks and nuns carry the last body out, the Buddha turned around and asked Anya Kashya who was standing beside him, "Have you both gone to find the Medicine Buddha?"
Ananda: "Report to the Buddha, the Medicine Buddha said that he consumed a lot this time and needed to stay in seclusion for some time."
The Buddha frowned, and his face showed an unhappy look. He pondered for a while, but he didn't say anything after all. He just turned into a sigh and said, "Let him go."
At this time, a few people heard the voices of people coming from the gate of the hall, saying, "See Buddha."
The Buddha heard the voices of these people and immediately became excited and said, "Come in quickly, what is the situation in Mintian County?"
The visitor was the Wisdom and Victory Buddha who brought three Bodhisattvas and two Arhats from Mintian County. Six people came to the hall and performed the kneeling ceremony. The three Bodhisattvas had already replied: "Report to the Buddha, someone in Mintian County colluded with monsters and attracted dozens of demon masters to the city, trying to destroy my foundation in Xitian. Fortunately, we fought to the death and protected the county town. The people of Su were not lost. However, Jin Chanzi was kidnapped by the monsters. We were unable to save them. We also asked the Buddha to punish him."
This loss is naturally much smaller than expected. The Buddha breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "So that's it. Why did Mintian County fail to defeat itself? It's too late to even warn. It turns out that he has become a monk. What's the rebellion now?"
The three Bodhisattvas looked at each other and bowed again, "The rebellion has been destroyed by us in the fierce battle. Only a few disciples have survived."
Four Arhats and dozens of Jiedi Jialan died at one time. If they were put on weekdays, it would be a huge thing, but today it would not be enough to attract anyone's attention. Even the Buddha said lightly: "Good, good, although you lost Jinchanzi in this battle, you can also protect Mintian County. The merits and demerits are offset. You should stay in Lingshan for a good life and practice. I will have other appointments in the future."
As soon as these words were said, the six people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that their plan was finally in vain. Not only did they save their lives from Yun Xiang, but they also escaped punishment from the Buddha. Moreover, following the Buddha's tone, they might be more useful in the future. This kind of pursuit with the tiger is really a big profit. Of course, when you see those monsters in the future, you should stay away. As long as you don't expose today's lies, you can rest assured.
Putting down the biggest stone in his heart, the Buddha turned to Kashyapa and said, "Has the Mingjing ever returned from the underworld?"
Kashyapa said: "I haven't come back yet, but there is a response from the underworld Bodhisattva, so the Buddha doesn't need to worry."
The Buddha nodded and turned to the gods and Buddhas: "Today's attack on Lingshan City is a thousand-year-old catastrophe in the west. What should I do if my disciples think it should be done?"
When the gods and Buddhas heard this, they were silent. After a while, they could only hear the Vajra Indestructible Buddha’s speech: “Report to the Buddha, this time the demon clan attack was actually caught off guard and suffered a great loss. Now all the gods and Buddhas in all directions have returned. If we do not reorganize our forces and kill all the demons, what will we have in the Three Realms in the West?”
His words naturally attracted a lot of support. After all, the face of the West is also related to the interests of most people, so it is definitely not possible to take revenge.
"No," another person in the crowd shouted hurriedly: "Buddha, my disciples think that this time, there is something wrong with the attack, so I'd better make a long-term plan."
Everyone looked in the voice, but they saw that the person who spoke was Wenzhu Bodhisattva. He and the three great Bodhisattvas of Puxian Wanghai were all far away in the Middle Earth. They arrived at the last moment of the confrontation between Flame Mountain. They never took action at all. They just showed their face and came back. At this time, these words naturally caused dissatisfaction among the gods and Buddhas.
The Vajra Indestructible Buddha sneered: "Wenzhu, those monsters are clearly trying to ask for the Peacock King, what's wrong with it? Could it be that you are reluctant to attack the demons in the Buddha's scent, and then you plead for mercy?"
The Bodhisattva Wenzhu blushed, and when he saw the Buddha also showed suspicion, he quickly knelt down and said, "Report to the Buddha, the disciples are not favoritism, but because they saw a person with a very special identity among those monsters, please check it out."
The Buddha frowned and said, "Who is a person with a special identity? Let's talk about it."
Bodhisattva Wenzhu said: "Although I was just in a hurry, my disciples also recognized that the one standing beside the Great Saint of Pingtian was the Kui Niu, the mount of the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable among the Three Pure Ones."
"Are you serious?" The Buddha was shocked when he heard this and said, "Did you see clearly?"
Bodhisattva Wenzhu said, "Look clearly. The Kuiniu disciple once saw him at the Peach Feast. At that time, the two Bodhisattvas Puxian Wanghai were also present. The disciple had just confirmed with them, and it was undoubtedly this person."
At this time, Puxian Wanghai and the others hurriedly spoke: "Report to the Buddha, that's exactly what it is."
The news was too shocking. Since three great Bodhisattvas testified, no one could doubt it anymore. The gods and Buddhas did not care about the etiquette before the Buddha, and they suddenly burst into trouble and started to discuss.
Amitabha Buddha's Taoism: "Buddha, in the battle of the Flame Mountain, the blue bull from the Bagua Taoist appeared, and the big thing was ruined. This time, the demons attacked the city, and the Kui Niu from the Lingbao Tianzun came to the scene. Of course, it was planned by the Sanqing. It seems that they are going to kill me in the west."
The Dragon Subduing Arhat also said in time: "Buddha, now I think about it, Sun Wukong was originally pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, I am afraid that the Three Pure Ones will release it. Otherwise, who in the three realms could crack the Buddha's great powers?"
The Buddha frowned even more tightly, and said with hatred: "It's them again. Now the Jade Emperor has no intention of summoning me to the West Heaven and into the Heavenly Court. Why do they still refuse to give up and repeatedly bully my Buddhist school? Do you really want to fight with me to the death?"
Seeing that the Buddha seemed to be angry, the Buddha hurriedly advised: "Buddha, the Three Pure Ones are powerful now, and he has taken over many monsters as front pawns. The situation is not conducive to our Buddhists. If we respond to the enemy in a hurry, we will probably fall into the trap even more. We should make a long-term plan."
The Buddha was indeed a man of great wisdom. He sighed with a sigh of relief and said, "Since the Sanqing attacked me twice, there will naturally be a third time, but he has to be careful. What solutions do you have to deal with? Let's talk about it."
Wisdom over Buddha's Taoism: "What the Buddha said is extremely true. The Three Pure Ones have always been tricky and need to be wary of him before leaving behind. The disciples think that our Buddhists should try to shrink their defense as much as possible, and at the same time, send additional personnel to guard the Jinping Prefecture Realm, and take all the turbulent movements in the country in India to master it. It is best to wait for a while to rest and rest for a while before looking for opportunities to turn defense and attack."
The Buddha pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yes, this is a prudent strategy. You can make a good arrangement if you go down. However, blindly defending is not the best strategy, but there are other strategies?"
At this time, I heard the Bodhisattva Wanghai suddenly speak, "Buddha, my disciple has a plan. Although it may not be able to do anything to the Three Pure Ones, it can cause some disaster to those monsters. I wonder what the Buddha thinks?"
Buddha suddenly felt refreshed and said, "The plan is about to come out."
Wanghai Bodhisattva said: "The Buddha can tell that one of the monsters is called Yun Xiang, who was the mount of the broom star in the Heavenly Court back then."
