Chapter 593: The poor monk came uninvited; I am willing to join the heaven
Zhongnan Mountain, Da Ci'en Temple and the Hundred Schools of Learning are the three holy places of the Tang Dynasty today.
The people of the Tang Dynasty, especially those young talents, all worked hard to join these three families... But interestingly, whether it is Zhongnan Mountain or Daci'en Temple, they only accept very few people, and they often confirm some talents.
The good students were persuaded to leave... saying that they were not suitable for sitting on the Taoist path and meditating, so they were all sent to the Baijia Academy.
In the words of Tripitaka Buddha, those who remain useful should serve the country and benefit the people... Daci'en Temple does not accept homeless people.
But when you really encounter someone who is "homeless", Master Sanzang also said that there is still a country for those who have no home, and a real man should regard the country as his home, raise three feet of green peaks, and make meritorious deeds.
There are actually very few monks who can actually be ordained and ordained in Daci'en Temple.
In Zhongnan Mountain, Izumo Neutron was invited to be the leader of the Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Alliance... After all, compared to Master Tripitaka and Zeng Zi, the two "leaders" of Buddhism and Confucianism, there were only
The identity of Yun Zhongzi, the True Immortal of Merit in the Three Realms, can be matched.
Moreover, Yun Zhongzi has always cared about the people. When the fox demon entered Chaoge, he was well aware of the practice in the Three Realms... But he was the only one who wanted to get rid of the fox demon for Da Shang, but unfortunately he failed.
, not fully accomplished.
Originally, Yun Zhongzi wanted to hand over Taoist affairs to Yuan Tiangang, but Yuan Tiangang is currently busy with secular affairs, and he really does not have much energy to deal with religious affairs... What's more, Yuan Tiangang's "Tao",
In fact, there is a certain difference between the "human Tao" among various schools of thought and the "Taoism" of the Three Realms.
However, after the Jade Emperor heard about this, he directly sent an order to Xu Zhenjun, who had previously killed a dragon in the human world, to go to Mount Zhongnan to assist Yun Zhongzi in handling Taoist matters.
Xu Zhenjun is also a wonderful person. The Jade Emperor asked him to come down to the earth to deal with the mess left when he killed the dragon. He was taking the opportunity to go on official business, but he stayed in the human world and never returned.
The main point is that if you don't call me, I won't go back. If you ask, there will be trouble later.
And the Jade Emperor also intends to make it happen. Since you want to stay in the lower realm, you might as well add more burdens... You can't just wander around in the human world.
Another Ge Tianshi, because of his miraculous medical skills, is now often sent abroad... The only one left is Zhang Daoling, Zhang Tianshi, who now spends all his time in the Tianshi Mansion and rarely has the opportunity to go to the lower world.
Back then, he was conferred the title of Great Master of Zhengyipingqi by Taishang Laojun, and he could still perform Dharma to exorcise evil spirits in the human world. However, when he achieved enlightenment, the gods came to greet him, and after he ascended to heaven during the day, he rarely had the chance to return to the human world.
As for the last of the Four Heavenly Masters... he has not been born yet, and he will have to wait another four to five hundred years before he can return to his throne.
As the seven great saints who were famous in the Monster Clan came to an end one after another, the last breath of the Monster Clan seems to have been exhausted... These old guys who chose to nest in Beiju Luzhou back then have actually already
Having lost their enterprising spirit, they have no intention of invading the human race at all.
I'm afraid that those newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers will offend people who shouldn't be offended.
Originally, this was nothing. Those young people who don’t know the heights of the world can just go and die on their own, and it has nothing to do with old bones like them... But now, as Lord Erlang and Holy Buddha Sanzang come to visit one by one,
Let them realize that times have really changed.
The right to speak has been transferred to other people's hands.
These two said that the demons in Luzhou in Beiju went to the territory of the human race in Nanzhou to cause chaos, and it was because you, the elders, did not restrain and train them properly... As the "guardians" of the human race, we must not only punish those culprits
The culprits, the elders like you who have done nothing, must be held accountable.
Isn't this a joke?
It obviously has nothing to do with them, but there is no reason at all...and as old monsters that have survived in ancient times, they actually do this.
Whoever has the bigger fist will make sense... This is in line with their outlook on life.
The demons in Beiju Luzhou really couldn't escape, so they had no choice but to accept the reality... But not all demon clans were troubled by this matter. The two demon commanders who had survived from ancient times,
They made similar choices by accident, which can be said to be a quite tacit understanding.
This is something that neither Erlangshen nor Master Sanzang expected.
A place of seclusion for Yingzhao.
"Tripitaka Holy Buddha, I have admired his name for a long time."
Yingzhao has the shape of a horse's body but a human face, tiger stripes and bird's wings. It travels all over the world, and its sound is like a pomegranate.
This is the record of Yingzhao's appearance in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. At this moment, Yingzhao naturally does not show his true form. He is in the humanoid posture of a young man, which seems a bit unruly and lazy.
Unlike those Beizhou demons who were afraid of Tripitaka Buddha, Yingzhao didn't feel the slightest discomfort when he saw Tripitaka Buddha. When he heard that Tripitaka Buddha was about to pass by his cave, he simply came out to greet him.
Yingzhao is not so much a demon as he is actually an innate being. However, when the Demon Court was very powerful, he was recruited into the Heavenly Court and became one of the top ten demon commanders of the Demon Court.
After the Demon Court was destroyed, he did not announce his withdrawal from the Demon Clan and still retained his identity as a Demon Clan.
It is said that after the Demon Court was destroyed, he first went to seek refuge with the Queen Mother of the West in West Kunlun. Perhaps in order to recruit the important ministers of the Demon Court, the Jade Emperor, who had just ascended the throne, also decreed that Yingzhao be made the God of Huaijiang Mountain and the Emperor's Pingpu.
In fact, he was put in charge of a garden owned by the Emperor of Heaven in the Kunlun Mountains, and he was responsible for taking care of the soil crickets and green grass in the garden, so that they could not eat people and do evil.
But it does not like to be restrained, but likes to travel around the world, so it often leaves the garden and "absent its duty"... As for why he simply gave up his job and finally hid in Luzhou in Beiju, Fahai does not know
There's a reason why.
"Amitabha, don't be offended if a poor monk comes here uninvited and asks a commander to come."
Regardless of the identity of the other party, if Yingzhao treats him with courtesy, Fahai will naturally not lose his courtesy.
However, this shout of command did make Yingzhao stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said: "It's all old news. I didn't expect the Holy Buddha to know about it... Please invite the Holy Buddha to come in and talk."
Although Yingzhao is the demon commander of the demon clan, he is actually regarded as a "divine beast" to the human race. He also followed Dayu in the crusade against Xiang Liu and made considerable achievements.
After this battle, Yingzhao gradually disappeared from the world... When there was news about him again, he had already left Kunlun Mountain and ran to Beiju Luzhou.
Entered the cave.
"I already know the intention of the Holy Buddha." Yingzhao got straight to the point, "With the Holy Buddha's supernatural power, we can naturally see the good and evil of our cave tribe... We have no intention of becoming enemies of the human race, but we also
I can only restrain myself..."
When Fahai heard this, he nodded slightly, Yingzhao's words were also true.
He had already seen it with his Dharma eyes. To be honest... the nature of demons in this cave was quite rare, let alone in Beiju Luzhou, even on the westbound road.
The reason why Fahai is so polite to Yingzhao has something to do with the merit he accumulated when he helped the human race.
What works up and what works below will lead to what kind of demon king there is, and there will naturally be what kind of subordinates there are.
Perhaps in the past, the little demons under his command would have thought that their king was too harsh on them, but it was not until these days, after Sanzang Holy Buddha entered Beizhou, and the vicious demon kings around him were saved one after another... that they
I truly felt the foresight of my king.
Who understands?
How many of the demon kings in Luzhou, Beiju, would dare to take the initiative to invite Sanzang Buddha to his cave to talk to him when they see him?
"I am not talented. I was under the command of King Yu, waiting for orders." Yingzhao was a man who knew the current affairs. He stood up and bowed his hands to Fa Hai, "I dare to ask the Holy Buddha to speak to me today. In fact, I want to ask the Holy Buddha to introduce me...
."
"What do you mean, Marshal...?" Fahai was still speculating on Yingzhao's intentions at first, but now he seemed to understand.
As expected, Yingzhao was not a reserved person. He went straight to the point and put forward his needs, "I am willing to lead my subordinates and join the Tang Dynasty."
After all, humans and demons are two completely different races. Fahai really didn't dare to agree to Yingzhao's request right away. Moreover, he alone cannot make the decision on this kind of thing. After all, he cannot represent the human race.
He can only represent his position as a human race and give his own suggestions on this matter.
Yingzhao obviously knew this very well, so he just asked Fahai to make the recommendation on his behalf. Naturally, he needed to be able to make the final decision on the specific regulations and sit down together to discuss them together.
In fact, Yingzhao wanted to stay in the human race at that time, so he served under Dayu... After all, during Dayu's reign, although many demons who caused trouble were dealt with due to water control, more aliens chose to surrender.
King Yu.
King Yu was able to establish the Great Xia Dynasty not only because of his status as king of others, but also because of the surrender and support of these foreign races.
But after King Yu ascended to the Fire Cloud Cave, the succeeding human kings no longer had the same ruling power as before, which led to the huge Xia Dynasty gradually falling apart and finally perishing at the hands of Cheng Tang.
"Amitabha." After Fahai recited the Buddha's name, he also stood up and returned the salute to Yingzhao, "This matter is of great importance, but the Commander-in-Chief's intention, the poor monk must inform His Majesty the Tang Dynasty..."
...
Except for the heroic moves here.
Bi Fang, who was on the other side of Luzhou in Beiju, also made a similar request to Erlang Zhenjun. The difference was that compared to Yingzhao, who clearly stated his intention to join the Tang Dynasty... Bi Fang was more inclined.
Cooperate with the human race, or join the Heavenly Court. It would be even better if you can do errands in the True Lord Temple.
After all, Bi Fang's relationship with the human race is not as close as that of Yingzhao. In ancient times, Yingzhao often helped the human race conquer evil spirits... and Bi Fang's legend among the human race is not only that he is a divine bird that causes fires.
..When Huangdi Xuanyuan convened a meeting of ghosts and gods from all walks of life on Mount Xitai, it served as the divine bird that escorted Huangdi's chariot, and had jurisdiction over the left and right sides.
It is precisely because of its experience as the divine bird that protected Emperor Xuanyuan's chariot that it was not called a "disaster" but was instead regarded as a divine bird.
If it were other human kings, when they saw a "strange bird" like B Fang that caused fires, even if they didn't kill him directly, they would probably have to drive him out of the human race's territory to prevent harm to the clan. But Xuanyuan Huangdi was different after all.
, his daughter Nuba also had the same troubles, so she subdued Bi Fang and used her own power as a human king to help it converge its magical powers that were beyond its control, and the effect was remarkable.
After Huangdi Xuanyuan ascended to Huoyun Cave, Bi Fang lived in seclusion in Luzhou, Beiju, and restrained the tribe not to cause trouble in the world.
It is precisely because of this origin that Bi Fang and Yingzhao can make the choice to move closer to the human race.
The causes sown in the past are finally bearing fruit today.
That's just the two of them. If Beiju Luzhou wants to find a third demon king like this, it is almost impossible.
Facing Bi Fang's request, Erlang Shen gave a clear answer, "If you choose to join Tianting, I can give you an answer now... But if you want to cooperate with Datang, then this matter is not mine."
The only thing I can agree to is to help you introduce the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has the final say on matters in the Tang Dynasty.
This is the consensus between Fa Hai and Yang Jian... Unless necessary, it is best for the immortal world not to interfere too much in the affairs of the mortal world.
But then again, Bi Fang and Yingzhao are not ordinary people. If they want to join the Tang Dynasty or form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, they will never be regarded as a matter in the mortal world.
Even if Li Zhi is asked to make a decision, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to make a decision based on his own mind... In the end, he has to refer to Tripitaka Saint Buddha, Erlang Zhenjun, Zeng Zi, Yun Zhongzi, Xu Zhenjun and others who really stand.
The opinions of the gods on the human side.
The most likely thing is that Li Zhi simply left this matter to his father Li Shimin... giving his father a headache.
Bi Fang thought for a while, and after a short weighing, he had already figured out the answer in his heart. He expressed his intention to Erlang Zhenjun: "I am willing to join the Heavenly Court."
After all, he is a creature that has eaten "Heavenly Bread". Although there are many talents in Heaven today, there is no shortage of him... But it is now a troubled time in the Three Realms, and Beiju Luzhou has obviously become a place of right and wrong. If not as soon as possible,
Look for another way out, I'm afraid there will be no way ahead.
It was not unreasonable for Bi Fang to survive after the Demon Court was destroyed.
As for whether to reuse or idle after joining the Heavenly Court... Even if he does not end up in the Temple of Justice, Bi Fang will not care too much at the moment... because as long as he joins the Heavenly Court through the line of Erlang Zhenjun, then
He will definitely be labeled as Erlang Zhenjun naturally.
As long as you don't jump around repeatedly and always stand on the side of True Lord Erlang...then your life in heaven will definitely not be too sad.
Back then, the Jiao Demon King accepted Taibai Jinxing's recruitment and took his 20,000 tribe to heaven. He was eventually appointed by the Jade Emperor as the Grand Marshal of the Tianhe Navy. He was in charge of 100,000 Tianhe Navy, which was 20,000 more than the Tianpeng Marshal back then...
And the 20,000 people were all from his original tribe in Beihai.
A junior like the Jiao Demon King can have such an opportunity...and as one of the top ten demon commanders in the demon court back then, Bi Fang still had some expectations in his heart.
