In the Holy Land of Lingshan, the Buddha's light shines brightly, the aura of peace lingers, and every inch of the land is bathed in a deep sense of Zen.
As time goes by, this place seems to transcend the constraints of time. It has always maintained its tranquility and harmony for thousands of years.
Today coincides with the grand Buddhist event that happens once a century - the Sutra Discrimination Ceremony, where all the elites gather together to exchange their practice experiences, delve into the true meaning of Buddhism, with a view to improving their cultivation to a higher level, and also discuss the rise and fall of Buddhism in the future.
As each of the exquisite Buddhist lectures slowly came to an end, the Buddha opened his red lips and slowly recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha!" His voice was like the spring breeze turning into rain, warm and profound.
Then, he turned his eyes softly to the side and saw the majestic appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva, holding a jade purification bottle, sitting on a lotus platform, and his whole body was exuding the light of compassion and wisdom.
"Master, do you have some thoughts about who will be escorted by Jin Chanzi on his journey to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures more than three hundred years later?" the Buddha asked in a gentle voice.
Hearing the words, Guanyin Bodhisattva bowed slightly, with a warm smile on his face, which seemed to melt all the ice in the world: "The poor monk does have a few candidates in mind, but this matter is important and requires the wisdom of the Buddha to make a decision."
After hearing this, the Buddha continued to ask: "Master, you might as well give some details first and tell me who you think are the most outstanding ones."
Guanyin Bodhisattva gently clasped his hands together, closed his eyes for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes, and a string of clear names spilled from his lips: "Yang Jian, Nezha, Sun Wukong."
Buddha:..........
Little yellow cat:......
Disciples of the Buddha:......
As soon as these words came out, the Buddha and all the Buddhas present were stunned and looked at each other, and the atmosphere instantly became subtle. The entire Lingshan Mountain seemed to be shaken by an invisible force, and the originally flowing Zen sounds seemed to be stagnated.
Each of these three names is of great importance, and their joining will undoubtedly add countless variables to this journey to the west.
The Buddha slowly closed his eyes, folded his hands gently on his chest, his fingertips trembled slightly, and then recited a solemn Buddha's name in a deep voice: "Amitabha!"
If Yang Jian, Nezha, and Sun Wukong are really allowed to embark on the path of learning, the demon challenges along the way will no longer be simple trials, but thrilling and blood-splattered contests.
The brutality is simply beyond description in words.
Bloody and brutal!
As for whether the four of them could reach Lingshan safely in the end, Buddha couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.
He could almost predict that the three people might not come purely to learn from the scriptures. It was more likely that some of them would be a bit joking and uninhibited, and half-jokingly suggested: "Tathagata, Buddha takes turns to sit. This year it is his turn to sit."
It’s my turn!”
Or Sun Wukong directly waved the golden cudgel and shouted boldly: "Hey, take a stick from me!"
Nezha, on the other hand, might sneer from the side and echo in a low voice: "Hey, if you really want to rebel, I will be the first to respond!"
As for whether they will be unwilling to participate in this prosperous era?
The spread of Buddhism to the East is a great cause that benefits the common people and completes merits and virtues. It is destiny and no one can resist it. What's more, given the fate and cultivation of Nezha and Yang Jian, how could they not understand the profound meaning of this?
?
For them, such a major event is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to accumulate supreme merit. How could they refuse it so easily?
Although he didn't care about his own status and only wanted Buddhism to be prosperous and prosperous for eternity, he had to consider the behavior of those three people.
What he was worried about was that once they really got interested, those guys might overturn the Lingshan Mountain first, then the Heavenly Palace next, and then the three realms.
After a while, the Buddha finally slowly opened his eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything in the world. There was no trace of joy or anger in his expression: "That's not appropriate!" Although the word was light, it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
.
Seeing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva quickly clasped his hands together, bowed his head respectfully and asked, "Please be merciful, Lord Buddha, and make it clear."
The Buddha pondered for a moment, and then said decisively: "Sun Wukong, General Rolling Curtain, and Marshal Tianpeng, these three are enough." His decision was concise and powerful, as if everything was already under his control.
As soon as these words came out, there was a slight noise all around. All the Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas in the sky nodded slightly in agreement, and then chanted the Buddha's name in unison: "Amitabha!"
The sound of Buddha's chant echoed on Lingshan Mountain, solemnly and solemnly.
In the next hundreds of years, Buddhist disciples had clear tasks and directions in their minds. The first priority was to ensure the safety of Jin Chanzi's reincarnated body, protect him, and prevent his soul from being scattered in the middle.
At the same time, we must pay close attention to the whereabouts of the three pilgrims to ensure that they move forward smoothly and are not hindered by difficulties and obstacles on the way.
Those powerful demons that are ready to move and intend to hinder the great cause of Buddhist scriptures will have divine intervention from all parties, either overtly or covertly, to protect the Buddhist scriptures team to prevent them from succeeding easily.
As for other trivial matters, they are just trivial details on the way to learn Buddhist scriptures. Compared to the promotion and inheritance of the entire Buddhist dharma, they are really insignificant, so you don’t need to pay too much attention to them.
…
Above the ninth heaven, there is the fairyland of Yaochi.
At this moment, the place is gently wrapped in gauze-like clouds and mist, like a flowing ink painting, quiet and mysterious, but revealing an indescribable loneliness and desolation.
The Jade Emperor sat alone on the magnificent dragon chair, suddenly woke up from a thrilling dream, unconsciously clenched the wine glass in his hand, and drank it all in one gulp, trying to use the wine to eliminate the lingering feeling in his heart.
of haze.
At this moment, the Queen Mother walked in quietly. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked very elegant. Every step she took exuded the majesty and gentleness of a mother who graces the world.
She whispered softly and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, what's bothering you?"
Hearing the words, the Jade Emperor sighed, with helplessness and worry on his brows: "Oh, I just had a nightmare. Although Sun Wukong was under the weight of the Five Elements Mountain, he seemed to find hope in the desperate situation and understood the cycle of life and death.
The secret of his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the end, he was able to shake the Five Fingers Mountain, lead a group of immortals, and approach the Lingxiao Palace, asking me to abdicate in favor of others. This dream really makes me feel terrified!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and stroked his forehead, his eyes flashed with fear, and even the hand holding the cup trembled slightly unconsciously.
Although he knew that this dream might be just an illusion, as the Lord of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor knew that every dream might contain warnings and omens from heaven, so he could not help but take it seriously.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother pondered for a moment and consoled her with a solemn tone: "Your Majesty, Sun Wukong's rebellion is really a shame for heaven, and it is also a lesson that we must reflect on deeply.
Although the heaven is strong, if it is internally unstable and the people's hearts are not aligned, it will be difficult to resist external attacks."
Hearing this, the Jade Emperor's eyes flickered, and he seemed to have realized something: "What my beloved concubine said is absolutely true. Heaven really needs an invincible God of War who can stand alone, be loyal to me, and be able to frighten the three realms.
Only in this way can the peace and stability of heaven be ensured."
The Queen Mother nodded in agreement and further analyzed: "Now, although the court has many soldiers and generals, many shortcomings have been exposed in the case of Sun Wukong.
Just imagine, if Yang Jian, Nezha, Zhao Gongming and other powerful people join forces, how powerful will they be? Especially Yang Jian and Nezha, they have special status and are not bound by the list of gods. Once they have different thoughts, the consequences will be disastrous."
Although her words were not finished, the profound meaning was enough for the Jade Emperor to understand the stakes involved.
Real threats are often hidden in the most unlikely places, and the future of Heaven depends on how to properly handle these potential crises.
Everything was turned upside down in just one thought of those people!
Hearing this, the Jade Emperor let out a long breath, full of joy: "Fortunately, thanks to your reminder at that time, I was able to shake hands with them earlier and make peace."
The Queen Mother nodded lightly, with a hint of emotion in her voice: "Yes, if Yang Jian was in heaven, Sun Wukong would not and would not dare to cause such a big mess.
Time flies, hundreds of years have passed in the lower world, and the grievances between His Majesty and the Yang family have faded a lot. Yao Ji often goes back to her parents' home to visit her siblings, and the family lives in harmony.
What's more, Yang Jian has always been respectful to His Majesty. Even though he fell in love with the three princesses of the West Sea, he never announced it to the three realms in a big way, nor did he leave any descendants of blood. This sense of propriety is really rare."
Hearing this, the Jade Emperor sighed softly and shook his head: "Even so, Yang Jian's unruly temper and the incident of the Golden Crow have always left a knot in my heart that I can't let go of."
Seeing this, the Queen Mother gently comforted her and said: "Your Majesty, as the Lord of the Three Realms, you should be open-minded and able to tolerate the things that others cannot tolerate. Let the past go with the wind."
The Jade Emperor sighed again. It seemed that he sighed more today than he had in ten thousand years, and his heart was full of helplessness and regret.
"I know that I have many shortcomings. I would like to ask my empress to take charge of the affairs of the state. You managed the affairs in an orderly manner. I am ashamed of myself.
However, since the Heavenly Court became a god and my strength has greatly increased, I have become arrogant and thought that I could control everything. Unexpectedly, troubles like Sun Wukong would happen again.
Hey, I really need to reflect on it!"
At this point, the Jade Emperor changed his topic and revealed some determination in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I have decided to retreat for a period of time to reflect quietly. During this period, you will have full authority to take care of the affairs of the Three Realms.
As for Yang Jian's matter, please handle it properly according to the situation."
As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother's original dignified face finally showed a crack, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but slightly raised, almost laughing.
But she quickly regained her dignified appearance and nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely live up to my trust."
Trying to calm down the turmoil in her heart, the Queen Mother smiled and said gently but firmly: "Your Majesty is so kind to me, I am deeply grateful. I have the courage to ask for Yang Jian's life and a position.
This position requires high authority, below one person and above tens of thousands of people. Without His Majesty’s approval, I would not dare to make any arbitrary decisions.”
"This... is too big!!" The Jade Emperor looked troubled, and he couldn't help but feel reluctant to give up.
After all, conferring a priesthood means stripping away from one's own authority. Otherwise, he would not have just given the innate sacred Sun Wukong a small Bima Wen before.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I know that this request is very important, but Yang Jian's talent is rare in the three worlds. If he gets this position, he will definitely be able to help your Majesty solve your problems.
At the same time, this matter can also show the sentient beings in the three realms that His Majesty has opened up new avenues of talent and has a heart for the common people."
Hearing the words, the Jade Emperor pondered for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly: "That's all, it's just what you said. However, this matter will be kept secret for now. If it is announced rashly and Yang Jian is unwilling to accept it, the face of Tianting will be really embarrassed.
."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will handle it properly." The Queen Mother respectfully agreed, with a strange light shining in her eyes.
…
Three days later, the Lingxiao Palace was quiet, with only a few Tiannu and fairies standing guard silently, and the air was filled with solemnity and solemnity.
The Queen Mother walked in slowly, each step appearing so steady and powerful.
Finally, she slowly sat upright on the throne that symbolized supreme authority. Her gaze penetrated the clouds, as if she could see into every corner of the three realms. Between the clouds and the clouds, she witnessed countless vicissitudes of life.
She looked around gently, feeling an indescribable emotion in her heart. Then, she gently slid her fingers over every detail of the chair, feeling the heavy glory and splendor.
Then, she slowly opened a simple box beside her. Inside lay a jade seal, which was engraved with dragon and phoenix seals. It was lifelike. The eight gilt characters below were "Ordered by Heaven, and you will live forever".
The brilliance makes people feel awe.
Staring at these eight words, the Queen Mother's eyes gradually became deep and blurred, and bursts of uncontrollable satisfaction and yearning surged in her heart.
Yes, who can not be tempted by this supreme power?
However, this intoxication did not last long, and Tian Nu's soft words broke the tranquility in the palace. "In fact, the empress should have taken this position a long time ago!" Tian Nu's words contained a bit of temptation and compliment.
Tiannu was so frightened that he quickly bent down and saluted, and responded repeatedly: "I obey the order!" Then, he made a few exaggerated gestures and performed a mouth-sealing technique. His funny appearance made the Queen Mother burst out laughing.
"Okay, open it up," the Queen Mother ordered with a smile.
Tiannu quickly unlocked the spell and respectfully replied: "I obey the order!"
"Remember!" the Queen Mother restrained her smile and reminded seriously, "This seat will always belong to Your Majesty! I just handle some affairs on your behalf when Your Majesty is tired. Do you understand?"
Tiannu lowered his head humbly and replied respectfully: "I understand that this position belongs to His Majesty. But..." He hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "But the right..."
"The rights belong to your Majesty too!" The Queen Mother interrupted him again, her tone unquestionable.
Tiannu nodded quickly and responded in a low voice: "Yes, yes, the rights belong to your Majesty, but they also belong to the empress." There was a hint of flattery in his words.
The Queen Mother smiled slightly and said no more. She just gently rubbed the jade seal in her hand and slowly closed her eyes. At this moment, she seemed to be integrated with the entire Three Realms, and her heart was full of expectations for the future.
