One day later, in the courtyard of the General's Mansion, Chang Qinghou's face was extremely gloomy and solemn.
He never thought that the guards sent out to search for missing soldiers a day ago would actually find more than a dozen people missing. Doesn't this mean that it is adding insult to injury for him?
We were obviously looking for someone, but none of them came back. How ironic is this?
"Obviously, there may be a force in the West that is specifically hostile to us. They are purging people from the General's Mansion. Is it Xianrendong, Fenglinzhou, or someone else?" The manager of the Hou Mansion was very confused.
Said: "But what is their purpose of doing this? The status of those soldiers in the general's mansion is not very high, they are just ordinary guards. There are at least one hundred thousand such people in the mansion, more than a dozen
A person's death has no impact on us at all, so what do they want?"
Neither the General Manager nor Chang Qing Hou have thought through this issue. Logically speaking, if the other party wants to attack the General's Mansion, there is no point in killing these insignificant guards. There are three people in Xitian whose status is relatively important. The General Manager of the Hou Mansion is always here.
The guardians beside Chang Qinghou, the last one is Chang Qinghou. If these three people die, which general's palace will feel the pain. If those golden immortals die, the soldiers in the real world will be as good as losing a few hairs.
It has no impact at all.
Chang Qinghou frowned and said: "The motive for doing this is unclear, but do you think their final target will be on me?"
"pretty close……"
Chang Qinghou and the manager Chang Zai soon realized that the motive behind this misty matter ultimately lay with Chang Qinghou. Then they began to speculate on how the other party would choose to kill him.
Where to start, both Chang Zai and Chang Qinghou estimated that it would most likely be when the General Mansion left Xitian.
On the birthday of the Buddha, everyone in the Western Heaven is celebrating. The Tathagata Buddha and other Buddhas, the eight Bodhisattvas, and the Eighteen Arhats are all here. Even if you are the Immortal Emperor, you cannot kill people easily at this time. Are you waiting for the Western Heaven to gang up on you?
As for the attack, the general manager and Chang Qinghou made several calculations, and in the end they just guessed that the hostile forces in the General's Mansion would kill them after they left Xitian.
Therefore, the general manager led the remaining soldiers to leave Xitian at this time and headed for the outer sea. He also sent a message to Xiao Luotian, requesting the government to send more experts to respond, in order to ensure that Chang Qing could wait for any unexpected incident elsewhere.
It is impossible for other masters in the General's Mansion to rush from Xiaoluotian to the sea outside Xitian in such a short period of time, but if a saint leads the team, they can still bring several Daluo Jinxian with them through teleportation.
Chang Qinghou estimated that with this configuration, he should be able to ensure that he left Xitian safe and sound. He absolutely did not believe that the other party would send a team of saints or above to encircle and suppress him.
There are regulations in Wufangtian and Ten Continents and Three Islands that saints cannot take action easily. This has gone beyond the normal rules of the fairy world. Once a saint appears, it means that a certain force may start a war.
No matter whether it was the General's Mansion or the immortal sects and families in Xitian, they never expected that there would be someone who did not follow common sense and did not take the ordinary path. In the future, this person would also be respected as the number one troublemaker in the immortal world.
Time flies and two days pass.
This day is the birthday of Tathagata Buddha of the West. It is the most solemn day for tens of thousands of years for everyone in the West to celebrate.
In fact, Tathagata is not the largest Buddha in the Western Heaven. There are two more Buddhas above him. One is the Ancient Buddha of Namo Burning Deng, and the other is Namo Medicine Master Lazuli Light King Buddha. However, these two great Buddhas have long since disappeared.
Nowhere, there is not even any news spread in the fairy world.
Without the two Buddhas of Ran Deng and Medicine Master, Tathagata is the largest Buddha. Therefore, the most solemn day in Western Heaven since ancient times is the birthday of Buddha.
Many days ago, the western sky had begun to be decorated with lanterns, and the entire land was shrouded in a strong festive atmosphere. On the Buddha's birthday, when the first ray of dawn just shone on this land,
At that time, countless people in Xitian came out of their homes and kowtowed in the direction of Lingshan.
They performed the great ceremony of prostrating and prostrating, taking three steps and one prostration, five steps and one prostrating, and walked towards the direction of Lingshan Mountain, because the Buddha's birthday will last for seven days. During these seven days, whoever can prostrate all the way
If you come to the foot of Lingshan Mountain and live to see the Buddha in person, you are very likely to become a member of the Lingshan people, or at worst a venerable or an Arhat.
Therefore, on the Buddha’s birthday, it is hard to imagine that there was a huge crowd of people all over the Western Heaven.
When the first ray of dawn passed, the highest peak on Lingshan Mountain, which symbolized the supreme power of the Western Heaven, began to shed golden light. This golden light fell as far as the end of the Western Heaven, and then most of it lingered in the sky.
Up and down the Lingshan Mountain, it looks so sacred that people can't help but want to worship.
The golden light of Lingshan shines in all directions.
Then the sky dawned, and the sound of Buddha slowly rose.
This is the sound of the Buddha chanted by the monks in Lingshan Mountain. During seven days, all the monks up and down the Lingshan Mountain will recite the scriptures continuously until the end of the Buddha's birthday.
In the celebration of the Buddha's Birthday in the West, in addition to people celebrating the birth of the Buddha and praying for blessings, the most important thing is actually the Tathagata's sermon, which is the highlight of the Buddha's birthday.
This sermon is somewhat similar to Zhang Daoling's sermon that Xiang Que heard in front of the Tianshi Cave. It can make people realize their enlightenment or open up their relationship with Buddhism.
Of course, Buddha's sermons and Zhang Daoling's sermons cannot be treated the same.
Therefore, many immortals from the other five heavens and ten continents and three islands came to listen to the Buddha's sermons. The chance of becoming a Buddha and a Bodhisattva may be very slim, but it is possible to get some enlightenment and enlightenment during the process of the Buddha's sermons.
It is very possible that in the previous sermons on Buddha's birthday, people who were not from the Western Heaven were reborn in the scriptures, and some even rose to the status of saints from being Da Luo Jinxian.
When the Buddha's light suddenly appeared and the Buddha's voice suddenly rose, a golden body of Dharma suddenly appeared on the highest peak of Lingshan Mountain.
So, at this moment, all the immortal disciples from Lingshan Courtyard and Lingshan Mountain came to attend the birthday of the Buddha, regardless of their level of cultivation, all bowed to the golden body of Dharma.
The people in the West simply prostrated themselves on the ground, kowtowing and unable to move.
Xiang Que was also in Lingshan. He also bowed as expected, but without any respectful attitude. In his previous life, he was seriously influenced by the thoughts of Journey to the West, and he had never had a good impression of Tathagata Buddha. He always felt that this guy
He slapped his hero, Monkey King, at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain. This was simply a blasphemy to his childhood faith. This is absolutely unforgivable.
"Sure enough, he is just like the character depicted in the TV series. Is it possible that Wu Cheng'en has really seen Tathagata?" Xiang Que cursed in his heart. He didn't know where the Tathagata's true form was, but the golden body of the Buddha appeared.
, unusually tall, with almost his entire body blocking the mountain peaks behind him. His head has fleshy temples that symbolize the thirty-two phases, a wide courtyard, wide and drooping earlobes, and plump lips.
If you look at the face, this image of honor is definitely a face of great wealth, great honor, and great luck.
But to be honest, he doesn't look very good.
Xiang Que smacked his lips and muttered, "I think I'm as beautiful as a flower, so why can't I be as good as him?"
After the Tathagata's golden body appeared, multiple figures jumped out on both sides of him. The ones closest to him on the left and right were Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and the Immortal Monk, then further down were Avalokitesvara and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, and then in front were
, Sunlight Bodhisattva, Moonlight Bodhisattva and the Four Vajras, Eighteen Arhats and the Five Buddhas.
Of course, although this is the most solemn day in the Western Heaven, it does not mean that all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats and Venerables from up and down the Lingshan Mountain will come. Some people are out for business and cannot come back in time, and some are in retreat to practice meditation, etc.
, If it is not destroyed or established, it will not see the human body.
There are also some Bodhisattvas and Buddhas who are practicing reincarnation, or who have not yet become Buddhas and Bodhisattvas after reincarnation and are still ordinary people. Naturally, these people cannot come.
Except for the sound of Buddha, Lingshan is completely silent at this time. There is no sound from top to bottom, and there are no traces of birds and animals. It is not an exaggeration to say that if anyone farts at this time, there may be people all over the mountain and down the mountain.
Audible.
What is somewhat different from a normal leader's speech is that it is impossible for the Tathagata to make an opening statement like "Let me say a few words first." After his golden body appears, with the Buddha's sound as the background, the Tathagata's thick lips open slightly.
, there were bursts of sermons.
It is crisp and clear, without any sloppiness. It starts with solid information and directly preaches the scriptures to make people realize the truth. This is what Tathagata does well.
This is the birthday of the Buddha. In addition to the universal celebration in the Western Heaven, it is also the seven-day teaching day of the Tathagata.
