Volume 3 The Controversy Between Immortals and Buddhas Chapter 37: The Forgotten Event
The fat woman next to Xiong Wudi clenched her fists and shouted angrily:
"Shameless!"
"Unfortunately, they underestimated the strength of Dongsheng Shenzhou. The immortals of Shenzhou quickly found out the truth and besieged Wanfo Mountain one after another, demanding an explanation.
The Buddhist sect had already received the news and took all the eight hundred 'Buddha bodies' in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Mountain back to Xiniu Hezhou Lingjiu Mountain, thinking that the distance was far enough so that the immortals of Dongsheng Shenzhou would leave it alone.
However, this matter aroused public outrage, and many human sects from Dongsheng Shenzhou rushed to Xiniu Hezhou under the leadership of Taiyi Jiku Tianzun.
Not only Dongsheng Shenzhou, but also human sects and families from various continents such as Zhonghuang Yuzhou, Nanzhan Buzhou, Beiju Luzhou, etc. responded one after another and followed the Suffering Heavenly Lord to Xiniu Hezhou.
Thousands of immortals from the human race besieged Lingshan.
The war was about to break out, and more and more monks gathered. It even alerted the three great Taoists, Nuwa, Daode Taoist, and Lingbao Taoist, to arrive at Lingjiu Mountain in person, as well as the Buddhist Zhunti, Yingyin, and Hao
God of Heaven, Emperor Ziwei, Emperor Gouchen, Emperor Changsheng, Ancestor Netherworld, Zhen Yuanzi and many other ancestors from the Hunyuan Daluo Realm."
"Okay! That's what we should do!"
Not only the fat girl, but also Wang Bin and Mingyue felt relieved.
"Oh, what a pity!
It was also during the 'War of Conferring Gods' that Western Buddhism aroused public outrage, and the evidence of 'seeking demons' was conclusive. All the great immortals wanted to take this opportunity to teach Buddhism a lesson.
Taiyi Ku Tianzun personally sent an invitation for us demon clan to go with us. After all, Dongsheng Divine Continent is not just the Dongsheng Divine Continent of the human race.
However, after some discussion, many demon lords believed that this was an internal conflict within the human race and it was inconvenient for the demon clan to intervene, so they all stood aside and watched.
What a pity!
At that time, if we, the demon tribe, had actively participated, the trend would have been achieved, and even the Taoist Master would not be able to stop it, and there might be no more Buddhism in the world.
Hey!~"
With a long sigh of regret, Xiong Wudi continued:
"Lingjiu Mountain activated the protective formation, and countless human immortal cultivators led by Ku Tianzun besieged Lingshan. Further away, there were heavenly soldiers and generals, as well as monks from all races who came to watch.
At that time, not long after the Conferred God War ended, the world was rarely peaceful and peaceful, and many ancestors came to persuade them to make peace.
If a war breaks out, both sides will inevitably suffer losses.
In the end, as the leader of the Human Religion, Daode Dao Zun represented the immortals in a gambling battle with Lingshan.
Because of eight hundred demon bodies, I bet on eight hundred years of luck.
Daode Taoist Lord put the willow branches of Guanyin Bodhisattva into the Bagua furnace for worship for seven or forty-nine days. Then, Guanyin Bodhisattva used a pure glass vase to restore the ashes of the willow branches to their original state.
Daode Taoist lost his bet and left Lingshan.
Lingshan also took the opportunity to make two major promises to the immortals:
1. Permanently ban "Buddha and Demon Fractal";
Second, Buddhism will never set foot on Dongsheng Divine Continent again.
Only then did the Heavenly Lord Rescue the Sufferings lead the immortals to evacuate from Lingshan Mountain."
This news is undoubtedly shocking. What is even more shocking is that such an important event has not been spread among the world.
Presumably, the many immortals who were besieged felt that the Taoist Taoist lost the bet, and the face of the Taoist was involved; and they did not destroy Buddhism, so they just left. "Returning without success" is not worth showing off; while Lingshan was besieged, but still
Being forced to make a promise is also a great shame to Buddhism, and Buddhism naturally bans this matter.
For both parties, it was nothing worth showing off, so they tacitly settled the matter.
Of course, it is also possible that the two parties reached a confidentiality agreement at the beginning.
After thinking for a while, Wang Bin sighed:
"Guanyin Bodhisattva has won eight hundred years of luck for Buddhism. No wonder Guanyin Bodhisattva has such a high status in Buddhism.
What a great merit!”
"Except for the monks present, no outsider knows what specific conditions were negotiated. I also heard a general mention from a friend. After that, the Buddhist sect suppressed all the eight hundred demon bodies of Dongsheng Divine Continent in Wanfo Mountain and completely withdrew from Dongsheng.
Shenzhou.
From then on, there was no Buddhist gate in Dongsheng Shenzhou.
Wanfoshan was renamed ‘Zhenfoshan’, and was taken over by Taiyimen and has been banned ever since.”
"That's it, thank you senior!"
"As for Taiyi Sect's willingness to transfer Zhenfoshan to your Taoist Academy, I speculate that there are three reasons:
First, when the Buddhist sect sealed the Eight Hundred Demon Bodies here, they did some tricks, which were full of dangers. This is why such a treasured land of cultivation has been sealed to this day. The Taiyi Sect wants to take this opportunity to dump this burden to
you.
Second, I want to drag you and the forces behind you into trouble. Your Jinyun Mansion, the shadow has developed to this day, and there have always been the figures of Yaochi Golden Mother, Donghua Emperor, Houtu Empress, and you were rescued from Zhenhai Zen Temple and suppressed by Buddhism.
The many demons and immortals in the Taiyi Sect may think that you have the ability to suppress the eight hundred demonic bodies inside. Or, even if you cannot, if something happens to the Taoist Academy in the future, the forces behind you will not be able to sit idly by and ignore it.
Thirdly, Taiyi Sect wants to bring up the past and increase the karma between you and Buddhism!"
"The cause and effect between us and Buddhism? How to explain this?"
"Before, you rescued many demon immortals and your cultivation was abolished. These demon immortals promised to keep you safe for five hundred years. If your Taoist academy chooses Zhenfoshan, once the eight hundred demon bodies inside make trouble, those demon immortals will definitely not
They will sit back and ignore it, which will inevitably increase the hatred between the demon clan and Buddhism."
"Senior, is there a deep hatred between the demon clan and Buddhism?"
Xiong Wudi looked at Wang Bin, pondered for a moment, and sighed softly:
"Why!
In fact, we can’t blame anyone else, it’s all our fault.
Back then, the Kuku Tianzun led a crowd to besiege Lingshan and invited all the demon clans to participate, but we refused. We missed a great opportunity.
Later, Buddhism and Taoism reconciled.
It was precisely because of being trapped in Lingjiu Mountain that Buddhism became more aware of the importance of its own strength and began to crazily expand the sect's power.
But he was afraid of angering the Taoist immortals again, so he targeted our demon clan.
Unlike the human race, our demon race’s power is dispersed.
In those years, countless powerful demons and immortals were defeated by Buddhism one by one, forced to convert, or became Buddhist protectors, or became Buddhist mounts and spiritual pets.
Their crazy hunting behavior aroused the anger of the monsters. In the end, all the tribes joined together to form a monster alliance, hoping to follow the example of saving Ku Tianzun and besieging Lingshan.
Unfortunately, they misjudged the situation, and the monster army was defeated by Lingshan one by one. Those who escaped, those who were killed, and those who were captured were countless.
The demons and immortals you rescued are only part of them. According to my estimation, in addition to those who were forced to convert to Buddhism, at least 300 demons and immortals were suppressed by Buddhism.
Hey!~
I was almost arrested back then!"
Wang Bin had asked several times about what happened back then, but the Nine-tailed Sky Fox had excused him. Today, combined with what Xiong Wudi said, Wang Bin finally understood the general reason.
But if you think carefully, there must have been many secrets back then.
"I see! I'd better stay away from Zhenfoshan. Senior, where is the Beast Taming City?"
"As for the Beast Taming City, it was a war city specially built by Bai Zuoshan to resist the tide of beasts in the Forest of Life.
Whenever there is a beast tide, Beast Taming City is the frontline and core of the resistance.
Baizooshan is willing to give you the Beast Taming City, which is indeed a gesture of goodwill.
Moreover, there has been no major sect power in the southwest of China since ancient times, and the area around the Beast Taming City is vast. If your Taoist Academy can really establish a foothold, it will not be a problem to expand into a city thousands of miles away in the future, and you can even unify the southwest."
"The younger generation dare not dream about 'unifying the southwest'. Our Taoist Academy just wants to provide a stable and comfortable cultivation environment for all Taoist friends.
Senior, beast tide, do you know what is going on?"
"The Forest of Life, as one of the ten restricted areas of life in the heaven, is famous in the heaven for its danger and strangeness.
The strange thing about the Forest of Life is that half of it has strong spiritual energy, while the other half has almost no spiritual energy;
The real restricted area actually refers to the core area of the forest. As for the periphery, it is an ordinary forest with prosperous life and many monsters and monster cultivators.
But the core is not accessible to ordinary creatures.
All creatures close to the core area will slowly lose their lives until they turn into a pile of withered bones; there is also a mysterious white mist that enchants the mind. Under Taiyi Sanxian, it is impossible to enter the core area.
I and several demon lords have done some research and speculated:
The core area of the Life Forest is the place where a Hunyuan Daluo-level existence died."
Hearing this, Wang Bin asked in disbelief:
"What? Hunyuan Daluo level? Can such a being die?"
