Chapter 518: Buddhism can only have one voice; the emperor of Tianzhu died!
When Fahai received the handwritten letter from Buddha, his expression instantly became solemn... Is this really something that has happened in "history"?
Whether it is Wutian Demon Ancestor or Qui-Gang Ancestor, he knows nothing about it.
It seems that the two worlds are indeed not the same.
Master Tripitaka, who looked calm on the surface, thanked Venerable Gayepa who came to deliver the message, and then asked Wu Jing to entertain him.
Wu Jing clasped his hands together and said, "Sir, please rest in this temple for a few days..."
"No, the young monk has to go back and pay the decree to the Buddha." Gaye did not stay for a long time. After seeing Master Tripitaka accepting the Buddha's handwriting, he was about to leave.
Wu Jing on the side just said a polite word, and when he saw that he was about to leave, he no longer stopped him. Instead, he took out some yellow and white things from his arms, handed them to Jia Ye, and said with a smile: "The venerable sir came all the way from Lingshan Mountain.
,These..."
"oops!"
Jia Ye stepped back repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty, please don't harm me!"
At the same time, I thought to myself, why is this Sha Wujing with thick eyebrows and big eyes so full of evil...
Isn't it just that I "made things difficult" for you when you were studying for scriptures? I still remember it in my heart to this day.
Don't say that he, the Venerable Lingshan, doesn't need these yellow and white treasures at all. Even if he does... he wouldn't dare to take them under the nose of Master Tripitaka!
Gaye refused in his hands, the wind was already blowing under his feet, and he was unwilling to stay in the Great Ci'en Temple for a moment longer.
After Jia Ye left, Wu Jing looked at the master. He was curious in his heart... After all, the master had read the contents in the handbook, and his aura suddenly condensed. This could not help but worry Wu Jing.
Today, he is the only one left among the senior fellow apprentices in Da Ci'en Temple.
The second senior brother was determined to taste the food of the three realms. After the first senior brother went to Chaos Xuandu City, he also packed up his bags and traveled to the four continents.
Xiao Bailong decided to transform the little demons who were oppressed in the Three Realms.
Although Wu Jing also wanted to compile an encyclopedia covering the entire Three Realms, because his nine souls could be assigned at will, his true body naturally remained in the Great Ci'en Temple.
"The news from the Buddha is that the demon world has changed, and the Jade Emperor's incarnation has been assimilated by the will of the demon world. Now he calls himself Patriarch Kuigang and is going to Lingshan as his teacher."
Wu Jing knew that this matter was not trivial, so he quickly asked: "Is there any disciple who can help me?"
"Don't let your guard down during these days...I'll tell you the rest when I get back."
"yes."
Outside Lingshan.
Fahai and Bodhisattva arrived at almost the same time. They looked at each other and knew the other's intention.
Both parties were not surprised by the other's arrival. After greeting each other, they entered Lingshan together.
The monks on the road didn't know why these two people came together, but whether they were Guanyin Bodhisattva or Master Tripitaka, their status in Lingshan was very important, so all the monks naturally bowed to him when they saw him.
When I arrived at the Main Hall, I saw that in the entire hall, there was only the Buddha sitting on the golden lotus in the middle, and there was no other person present.
Fahai paused for a moment, and after the Bodhisattva entered the hall first, he fell half a body behind and entered the hall together.
"Buddha."
The two of them put their hands together and performed a Buddhist salute.
After the Buddha returned the bow, he said: "Please sit down."
"The catastrophe of the three realms is coming." The Buddha got straight to the point, "Those in the three realms are unable to stay out of it. You two should make preparations in advance to prevent the calamity from coming and you will not be able to cope with it."
There is no need for the Buddha to specifically remind you of this. Bodhisattva and Fahai will naturally not underestimate this matter. The great catastrophe of heaven and earth that includes the entire three realms... If you are not careful, it may be the result of death of the body and the disappearance of the Tao. How dare they be careless?
?
Even if he is confident that he can survive the catastrophe, what about his disciples?
I don’t know whether it is good or bad for Wukong to leave the Three Realms and go to the chaos at this juncture.
Facing the coming catastrophe of heaven and earth, naturally it is not something that can be dealt with by just saying a few words. The reason why Tathagata invited Bodhisattva and Sanzang here is also because in his heart, Buddhism can truly be trusted, or worthy of entrusting them with important tasks.
, that is, these two.
If we say that the existence of "Wutian Demon Ancestor" is still within the original context of the three realms of time and space, but with the emergence of "Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor"... it has completely exceeded all the expectations of Tathagata Buddha before the chaos of heaven.
"The rift between the demon world and the three realms has probably been sealed at this moment." Tathagata Buddha looked calm. Although the incident was unexpected, it did not make him lose his sense of proportion.
The Bodhisattva thought for a while and said: "So... will the period of integration of the demon world and the three realms still last three hundred years?"
"This is the general trend of heaven and cannot be violated without human power."
Fahai clasped his hands together: "So...the Three Realms will still have peace for three hundred years."
"Having said that, if we really just enjoy these three hundred years of peace... I am afraid that when the disaster comes to an end, we will have no choice but to surrender." The Bodhisattva looked at the Buddha solemnly and said: "You can't just sit back and wait for death.
...Buddha, even though you will be reincarnated and go through tribulations when the great calamity comes, should you do something during these three hundred years?"
At this moment, the Bodhisattva no longer cares about playing tricks. Moreover, she and the Buddha are peers, so they are always talking about whatever they want. Efficiency comes first in everything.
The Buddha sat cross-legged on the golden lotus, with his five hearts pointing to the sky: "If we want to survive the great calamity, we must work together...Buddhism can only have one voice."
Then.
The Buddha and Bodhisattvas focused their attention on Master Tripitaka.
Fahai:...
What's the meaning?
What do you see me doing?
Are you two singing in harmony to add to the burden of the poor monk?
...
Compared with Buddhism, which is "mountain-lined", the situation in Heaven is much better.
After all, there is a list of gods, and the Jade Emperor and Yang Jian are in love with each other, so coordinating it is much easier than that of Buddhism.
Three hundred years is not a long time, nor is it a short time... The insiders have naturally made preparations early. As for those who are not aware, it is just one day at a time. After all, the disaster of Journey to the West has just ended, how can they do it?
How can we predict that there will be an even greater disaster three hundred years from now?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The existence of the Wutian Demon Ancestor is no longer a secret... In addition, everyone agrees that the Wutian Demon Ancestor is targeting Lingshan, the Heavenly Court.
My god, more or less, just wants to watch the fun, so why should I be wary?
As for Patriarch Kuigang, both the Jade Emperor and the Buddha kept the news within a very small area and did not let it spread widely in the three realms.
Just let the people who should know know.
Otherwise, if this kind of news spreads and is used by people with ulterior motives, it may cause unnecessary twists and turns, and even cause chaos in the Three Realms in advance.
The seemingly peaceful three realms are undercurrents.
Less than a month after Fahai returned to Chang'an from Lingshan, he heard a piece of bad news.
"The emperor of Tianzhu has passed away."
After Li Shimin received the news, he immediately came to Da Ci'en Temple.
Although when Li Shimin learned that the emperor of Tianzhu wanted to force his younger brother to be his consort, he wanted to send troops to Tianzhu several times...but later he learned that the emperor was also a hero, and they felt a bit of pity for each other.
I mean, it's a pity that I couldn't see him.
"How can it be?"
Fahai's brows were condensed in one place, "Although I have seen that Tianzhu's fortune is unstable before, when the poor monk was attending the Uncensored Conference in Tianzhu last year, he saw that the Emperor of Tianzhu was in strong health and had no signs of death... How could this happen?
Died suddenly?"
"What you are saying is...there is something fishy in this?"
Fa Hai pondered for a moment and decided to tell Li Shimin about the great catastrophe that would happen three hundred years later.
But just as he was about to speak, Fa Hai suddenly thought of something. In the world he was in, the Tang Dynasty had been in the Tang Dynasty since Emperor Li Yuan founded the country in the first year of Wude and proclaimed himself emperor until Emperor Ai Tianyou in the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty, when Zhu Wen usurped the throne.
Destruction... seems to be the fate of the country for nearly 300 years.
During that period, wasn't it another time of turmoil in the Central Plains and warlords fighting?
But even before that, it seemed that the Tang Dynasty was far from stable.
Seeing that his younger brother was about to speak but hesitated, Li Shimin did not urge him, but just waited quietly.
"Amitabha." Fa Hai clasped his hands and said to Li Shimin: "The poor monk went to Lingshan a month ago. It was at the invitation of the Buddha that he learned that a great disaster was about to occur in the three realms and discussed how to deal with it."
"In less than a month, the Emperor of Tianzhu passed away for no reason." Fahai pondered for a moment and said to Li Shimin: "There may be some connection between the two."
"But the Kingdom of Tianzhu is at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. Could it be that the Emperor of Tianzhu is being plotted against, and Buddhism won't be able to sense it?"
"That's the problem." Fahai was also a little helpless, "Not to mention the difference between Xizhou Buddhism's desire to escape from the world and the knowledge-only teachings of the poor monks, it's just that the Emperor of Tianzhu didn't like Buddhism by nature, and even once wanted to
To carry out Buddhist reforms..."
Having said that, it is very clear.
With Li Shimin's intelligence, it is not difficult to analyze the key point. The Emperor of Tianzhu is about to take action against Buddhism... It is a good thing that Buddhism does not take the initiative to take action against Emperor Tianzhu.
In other words, when the Emperor of Tianzhu died, it was probably someone from the Buddhist sect who took action secretly.
"The Buddhist sect in Xizhou can't bear such a cause and effect." Fahai could also guess Li Shimin's thoughts. "They may sit idly by when the Emperor of Tianzhu is in danger, or even secretly add fuel to the fire, but they will never dare to take the initiative.
Take action...Tianzhu is not an ordinary small country after all."
"Besides, it only takes a few decades for an emperor to become disgusted with Buddhism. As far as the poor monk knows... the prince of Tianzhu is very close to Buddhism."
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, in the long run, there is really no need for Buddhism to take such a dangerous move. But this possibility cannot be completely ruled out..."
"It's natural."
"The Emperor of Tianzhu passed away. As an ally of the Tang Dynasty, the letter of credence sent an envoy to express condolences... I want Wang Xuance to send an envoy to Tianzhu. Besides, he has always been astute, so he can secretly explore the truth behind the death of the Emperor of Tianzhu."
"It's a pity that Wukong went to Xuandu City, otherwise he could have gone with him."
Fahai had no intention of leaving Chang'an. After the death of the Emperor of Tianzhu, Li Shimin did not dare to let his younger brother leave... If it was just Buddhism that took action, that would be fine, but if it was really because of the "Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth",
Li Shimin felt that it would be safer to leave his imperial brother in Chang'an.
Fa Hai had the same idea, so Wu Jing went on his behalf and asked him to assist Wang Xuance in secret.
Although Wang Xuance has extraordinary strength, he is still a mortal. When faced with the methods of those gods, he will inevitably be a little overwhelmed... With Wu Jing on the side to support him, even if he encounters any danger, he can be a little more calm.
...
The death of Emperor Tianzhu still caused quite a stir among the countries in Xizhou. Although the truth of the matter is unknown, everyone still took corresponding preventive measures based on their own guesses...
In particular, the king of the Zhuzi Kingdom built a golden body of "Tripitaka Tathagata" overnight, placed it in his palace, and worshiped it day and night.
Although Fahai was aware of this, he did not stop him from behaving like this... He was also very concerned about the death of the Emperor of Tianzhu. After all, it was considered a close relationship back then. Some of the Buddhist reform methods were actually
Coming from his own words, if this really caused his death, this cause and effect... Fahai would naturally follow.
I must seek justice for His Majesty.
If the Buddhists in Xizhou really dare to disbelieve in Buddhism because of the king of a country, they will commit regicide... Fahai would not mind agreeing to the Buddha's request and leaving the Buddhists in the three realms with only one voice.
The underworld.
"Holy Buddha!"
The ghosts of the Yin Division wanted to get close to him, but they were afraid of being hurt by Master Tripitaka's Buddha light, so they had to pay their respects from a distance.
The Yamas of the Ten Palaces and the major judges hurriedly came to greet him. After meeting Master Tripitaka, they bowed and said: "We will pay homage to Tripitaka Tathagata."
It’s no wonder that they, the underworld gods, “kowtow”, they are really under too much pressure when facing Master Tripitaka... Moreover, Master Tripitaka has now realized the position of Holy Buddha Tripitaka Tathagata, and he is a “consciousness-only teaching”
The leader's status in the three realms is actually equivalent to that of Buddha and Bodhisattva.
"I wonder if the Holy Buddha came to my underworld today, but what is the important matter?"
Generally speaking, when Master Sanzang came to the underworld several times before, he went directly to Yin Mountain to pay homage to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Now that he came directly to the underworld, they were a little surprised... but they could only treat him carefully first.
In other words, the reputation of Master Tripitaka has always been strong in the three realms, otherwise it would have caused some panic.
"I heard that the Emperor of Tianzhu passed away. I had met him several times, so I came here to see him off."
Instead of going to Tianzhu, it would be better to come directly to the underworld.
"Hurry!" King Qin Guang said directly to the judges around him: "Please invite His Majesty Tianzhu into the main hall to meet you."
"Holy Buddha, please."
Standing outside the gate of hell is not an individual system after all. As the leader of the ten palaces of Yama, King Qin Guang invited Master Tripitaka to come in and talk, which was also to test Master Tripitaka's attitude.
"good."
Seeing that Master Tripitaka agreed and spoke in a calm tone, he knew that Master Tripitaka's visit today was just to see his old friend off, so he put his mind at ease.
After entering the Palace of the King of Hell and inviting Master Sanzang to take a seat, I saw several ordinary little judges sweating profusely, looking panicked, and with evasive eyes. They did not dare to look at Master Sanzang at all...
