Chapter 1,312 Shocking news from the New Territories
Four continental centers.
Islands are dotted like a dot.
When Dongsheng Shenzhou's Immortal Way still existed, it was quite prosperous, with sects of cultivation located there, and many secular countries still existing. However, it has long been deserted.
Because of this, Li Yan rode the wind and found a spiritual energy rising up, which was extremely eye-catching. When it fell, he saw a thatched cottage built on the shore, and Taibai Jinxing was sitting on a big rock, fishing.
Li Yan came to the edge and watched silently.
Look at the fish with traces of mist inside its body, swirling around the bait, and it is quite spiritual. In the end, it couldn't help but bite the hook.
When the fishing rod was pulled up, there was a splash, and the fish broke out of the water. It was still flapping and jumping on the hook for a long time, showing its extremely tenacious vitality.
Taibaijinxing looked at it for a long time and said: "These fish have no real spirituality. They are just contaminated with mist, and they have such special powers..."
Li Yan said: "According to Mr. Xing, how did these fogs form?"
Taibai Jinxing asked: "Does the Heavenly Master know the karma of Buddhism?"
Li Yandao: "All good and evil thoughts and actions are called 'karma'. In the Buddhist understanding, every action will form a corresponding life force, which is stored in the eighth consciousness. These forces are like seeds, which will grow in the future."
When the opportunity matures, it triggers new actions, and the living beings are thus driven by the karma in Alai's consciousness and undergo the cycle of life and death in the three realms and six paths."
Taibai Jinxing also understood the Buddhist method, but he did not explain it in such a profound and simple way. He was quite touched when he heard the words: "It is not difficult to see why Buddhism always connects cause and effect with karma, but the old Taoist said that this endless fog is
Can the heavenly master believe that it is caused by karma?"
Li Yan was not surprised and said calmly: "To be honest with Mr. Xing, I have already had a similar guess..."
He had indeed already analyzed that the most likely source of power for the boundless fog that surrounded the two continents and divided the realm was the karma of Buddhism.
In this way, it makes complete sense that merit can resist the erosion of karma and can come and go freely in the mist.
This is also the reason why Sha Monk had to transform into the image of a red-haired and fanged demon on the Liusha River in order to ferry across it for a long time.
But why karma turned into mist and shrouded the outside world was not clear to him before. It was not until he understood the true intention of the Great Vision World that everything came together.
"Old world, new world...the boat of salvation can only save Buddhism..."
After Li Yan's narration, Taibai Jinxing was moved by it and murmured: "So it turns out that although there are tens of thousands of Buddhas living in the great wish world, it is peaceful, but it is not universal. There are evil karma condensed and arranged in the old world. In that world
During the nine kalpas, there are also many influences, which lead to the decline of spiritual practice and the cessation of all kinds of Taoism!"
At this point, the old man showed a deep sadness: "If it is true as what the New Territory said, in order to prevent the three disasters and five declines, we banned the Shinto, but instead contributed to such a disaster, are we doing it ourselves?"
Li Yan was silent.
Anuojiaye said to Xuanzang that the Jade Emperor foresaw that there would be three disasters and five declines in the future, that immortals and Buddhas would be robbed, and that the divine way would become extinct. In order to find a way out, he had to distinguish the turbid and fixed yin and yang with the Taoist ancestors, so that there would be a new realm.
But the fact now is that it seems that it was precisely because of what they did that led to the decline of the old world.
This is like predicting the coming of a certain disaster, and doing various actions to prevent it, but actually causing the disaster to occur.
But if nothing is done, it is also unknown whether the disaster can be avoided...
The overall situation of heaven and earth is difficult to understand even for a being at the level of the Jade Emperor Buddha...
Things have already happened, and it is useless to blame oneself. Li Yan waited for a moment and said, "I have a question, and I hope Mr. Xing can clear up his doubts."
Taibai Jinxing calmed down and regained his composure: "Please tell me."
Li Yan said: "Xingjun traveled to the three realms to deliver the edicts of the Jade Emperor. Although he is old with Buddhism, there is a difference between the closeness and distance. Why did he abandon the heaven and come to this world of great aspirations opened by Buddhism?"
Taibai Jinxing's gaze fluctuated, and after a moment he revealed his determination: "Now that the matter has come to this, there is no need for the old Taoist to hide it. This is not because he admires the Buddhist sect, but because he suspects that the disappearance of His Majesty the Jade Emperor is related to the Western Buddhas."
Li Yan's expression suddenly became solemn: "This matter is not trivial. Why did Mr. Xing say this?"
Taibai Jinxing said in a deep voice: "Before your Majesty disappeared, he had a secret conversation with Amitabha, and he even showed a worried look. Except for the old Taoist, even the empress did not know about this..."
Li Yan asked: "Other than that, what other basis is there?"
Taibai Jinxing sighed: "It's shameful to say that it is precisely because there is nothing else that the old Taoist has to go to Lingshan with the gods and sink into the world..."
Li Yan said: "According to the Buddhist teachings in the New Realm, the disappearance of the Jade Emperor is just to find a way to save the world. It is also the Jade Emperor and the Taishang Laojun to open a new world to guide the gods and Buddhas."
Taibai Jinxing stroked his beard and said: "If Your Majesty and Laojun opened a new world, why did you let the gods sleep in the peach garden, and why did Amitabha let Buddhism linger in the old world?"
Li Yan understood what he meant: "There are two reasons. Either the New Territory has not yet been completed, is not as beautiful as it is said to be, and cannot accommodate many gods and Buddhas, or the New Territories are not prepared to take away the gods and Buddhas of the past."
"Your Majesty would never do such a thing!"
Taibai Jinxing was decisive at first, and then sighed, with a very low tone: "That's right, the old Taoist even has a guess that he dare not tell others. Is His Majesty the Jade Emperor in the New Realm really His Majesty?"
Li Yan fell silent.
For other gods and Buddhas, this statement was becoming more and more shocking. He didn't think it was impossible, he just judged how high the possibility was.
Taibai Jinxing, an old man, is very kind and gentle in his dealings. He is by no means a radical person. To be able to make such a judgment, he must have already suspected something and would not be wrong.
Did the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Being, and the Buddha, the most powerful beings of the three religions, cooperate with each other and create grand events like they did when they traveled west to obtain scriptures, or did they really fight with each other and commit sins?
The key is, what is the motivation?
To be fair, Li Yan felt that under the threat of the severance of Shinto, it was possible for the ship of salvation to only sail to Buddhism, but it was really unimaginable that the Buddha plotted against the Jade Emperor just to become the Lord of the Three Realms...
It is completely inconsistent with the Tathagata's cultivation realm.
Unless there is information that is currently unknown...
There is no doubt that it all falls on the exploration of the New Territories.
So, Li Yan naturally issued an invitation: "Since Mr. Xing has all kinds of doubts, how about going to the New Territory to find out what's going on?"
Taibai Jinxing was greatly surprised: "Can an experienced Taoist go to the New Territories?"
Li Yan said: "It's just a try, there is no guarantee. The New Territories are more dangerous. Xingjun must be fully prepared..."
Taibai Jinxing did not hesitate: "The old Taoist is willing to go with us!"
Li Yan saluted solemnly, and then told the situation of Wusheng Old Mother and Yan Shifan: "They will also go together."
Taibai Jinxing is not very repulsive to demons, especially those that can be used by the righteous path. He thought about it and said: "With the help of companions, the old way can be much easier. Once you enter the world, you can also seek the help of Zhenjun Erlang."
Li Yan nodded slightly.
After all, Erlang Shen is the nephew of the Jade Emperor, and he is not sleeping in the Peach Garden. He has nothing to do with Buddhism. If he can be found, it will naturally be a great help.
This is also the advantage of Taibaijinxing. If it were Wusheng Laomu and Yan Shifan, even if they saw Erlang Shen, they would not be able to win his trust...
In the same way, when Li Yan came to Long Nu and Xiao Bai Long and told the brothers and sisters about the situation in the Great Vision Realm, he also made similar suggestions.
The little white dragon lowered his head and fell into deep thought, while the dragon girl was greatly shocked: "Go to the New Territory to find Bodhisattva?"
The wish-fulfilling orbs were surrounding her, somewhat wilted, apparently because they were afraid that Guanyin would erase their spirituality.
Li Yan said: "The Bodhisattva asked you to return to the West Sea instead of entering the Great Wish Realm like other boys. There should be deep meaning. If Guanyin Bodhisattva is in the New Realm, you are naturally the most suitable to contact her."
"well!"
When the dragon girl thought of the Bodhisattva, she suddenly showed a look of longing for her. She nodded repeatedly and comforted Ruyi Baozhu: "Bodhisattva is compassionate, you are also a living being, and you will never be in trouble..."
The Ruyi Orb was mooted over and over again, and he muttered: "Originally, there was no spirit clan, and the Bodhisattva would still be tolerant. Now that the spirit clan and Buddhism are sworn enemies, how can they be forgiving? However, I will not abandon you, so I will go with you if you go together!"
At this moment, Xiao Bailong raised his head: "This trip is dangerous, I will go with my little sister!"
Li Yan sighed: "I am also worried about the safety of those who enter the world. I should have gone to the New Territory in person, but I must keep the spirit of the ancestor to prevent changes in this world. After weighing the pros and cons, I have to make such arrangements..."
It would be unwise to make a desperate move now, but you should not be too timid, and you should know the right balance.
Choosing the experienced Taibai Jinxing, Guanyin's dragon girl holding a pearl in her back hand, the new-born Wu Sheng Lao Mu and Yan Shifan who has the right to give it a try is indeed one of the best exploration teams currently.
As for Xiao Bailong and Bajie, Li Yan has a more important task for them to do: "It's time to rescue the Golden Arhat Bodhisattva."
Xiao Bailong was refreshed but not impulsive. He asked the reason: "Why now?"
Li Yandao: "The golden-bodied Arhat Bodhisattva is wandering outside the Great Wish Realm, trying to extradite the two realms. In the past, we thought it was to facilitate the counterattack against the Great Wish Realm, but now it seems that there is a bigger goal..."
Combining the secrets he just heard, Xiao Bailong thought of the small boat rowed by Sha Monk again in his mind, and exclaimed: "So, could it be that Third Brother's boat is pointing to the New Territories?"
Li Yan nodded: "It's very possible. This is also an excellent opportunity to find a chance to fight against the Buddha!"
"With the help of Senior Brother Sha, we will enter the realm and find Senior Brother. If you are trapped in the New Territory, let Senior Brother rescue you!" Xiao Bailong was sure of his sister's safety. "This method is very good. It will help you save your sister!"
It will be most reassuring if senior brother takes action."
Li Yan also believed in Wukong. No matter how many gods and Buddhas were sent, if a conflict really broke out in front of an existence of the Supreme Buddha's level, it would definitely be suppressed in an instant.
As for using Buddha as quality, it is just a hypothetical method with a very low success rate.
Only with the help of the Buddha who conquers the battle can we have the possibility of returning safely.
So there are two teams, one light and one dark.
Build the plank road in the open and cross the Chen Cang secretly!
…
"it's time!"
When Li Yan returned to the Lingxiao Palace again and stood in front of the ancestor's spirit, the powerful spirit clan hid in the void and watched solemnly as the four figures came forward.
The next actions will not only determine the fate of the Spirit Clan, but also the direction of the Three Realms.
Even if most of the Eldar are unwilling to admit it, when they discover that the ancestor's spirit is not what they originally thought, and that it leads to a new world behind it, the conflict has already shifted.
The spirit race wants to be the master of the three realms, and is unwilling to become a tool in the hands of gods and Buddhas. It has become a living being in this world. It is unwilling to become an abandoned people of the old world...
But no matter which goal it is, you must understand the other party before you can make the final decision!
"Everyone on this trip, please be careful, try to avoid conflicts, and find out the situation first!"
Li Yan gave his last regards.
Wusheng Old Mother, Taibai Jinxing, Yan Shifan, Dragon Girl.
Not to mention the profound aura of Wusheng Old Mother, her powerful strength seems to surpass that of Taibai Venus, becoming the first of the four gods.
Even Yan Shifan has obtained three or four points of the divine power of the King of Tota, which can be said to be a step to the sky. His magical power is no longer inferior to that of Dragon Girl, and supplemented by his ruthless temperament, he cannot be underestimated.
Even gods and Buddhas are not all blessed with vast supernatural powers and boundless magical powers. Such abilities are enough to cope with many emergencies.
Therefore, Li Yan did not need to give too many instructions. After speaking briefly, he stretched out his palm and slowly pressed it on the spirit of the ancestor.
Boom!
The closed passage hidden behind it immediately opened, and at the moment when waves of space surges exploded, four streams of light plunged into it.
at the same time.
Bajie and Xiao Bailong stood on the small boat ferryed by Sha Monk, holding up the oars left and right. The brothers worked together and paddled together, drifting further and further away in the mist, and suddenly disappeared.
Li Yan took in all this scene, sat upright in the sea of clouds, closed his eyes, and began to wait silently.
After these two exploratory teams arrive in the New Territories, no one is sure whether they can complete their goals as arranged. All they can do now is to eliminate distracting thoughts, accumulate strength, and respond at any time at the entrance and exit.
However, this wait lasted two full years.
At first, all the spirits were hidden in the air, and they were waiting together.
But gradually, the tense spirits of the souls could no longer hold on, and they began to take turns to rest.
When several months passed, they were already worried about whether the other party had fallen into it and would not be able to come back.
But after a year, most of the Eldar tribe believed that this group of forerunners would never come back, and they once again had disagreements.
In the year that followed, the Eldar fell into quarrels almost every day.
Just when Li Yan's prestige made it difficult for him to hold back if he didn't return to Zhenwu Xuanyue, on this day, he suddenly opened his eyes.
From the other end of the channel, strong fluctuations are born.
Sometimes they are close, sometimes they are far away, as if they are in a fierce confrontation.
Finally, intermittent sounds arrived.
That was the voice belonging to Taibai Jinxing, and the tone contained incomparable pain and worry.
He said a lot, but what he could vaguely hear clearly was only two sentences:
