The Buddha's light hung down from the sky, and a human figure appeared from within. The wise fire bloomed and expanded into a circular halo, hanging behind the human figure.
Wearing a white background with red stripes, he is decorated with the seven Buddhist treasures, with a swastika branded on his collar. He wears a red gold crown and has long light hair tied up. His dignity and majesty and decoration complement the handsome face of Fengshen, showing that he is not angry.
The awe-inspiring force of self-respect.
"Taoist Master Guangcheng."
He bowed to Taoist Guangcheng.
Taoist Guangcheng also bowed his head and said: "Master Manjusri."
This figure, who looks like a young man but has extraordinary bearing, is clearly none other than Manjushri from the Buddhist kingdom. Moreover, what he has come here at this moment is not his appearance, but his true body.
The two of them met and greeted each other like ordinary friends, and there didn't seem to be any trouble between them.
Manjusri blocked the front, and not far behind were a group of Arhats and Dingfengzhu. With a dull look on his face, he said: "Won't the Taoist take action? If the Taoist takes action, the poor monk will not stop him, nor will he.
I will scold the Taoist priest for treating a group of fifth-grade people with the dignity of a third-grade person."
"Then you can break free from the shackles of great aspirations, right?" Taoist Guangcheng said in a low and authentic voice.
Although the unspoken rules between the third level are destined to be difficult for the third level, it does not really constrain the third level. After all, this unspoken rule only targets promotion to the second level.
If it weren't for Manjusri's great ambition, Taoist Guangcheng might really have taken action to kill Fengzhu, but at most it would have spared the lives of these Arhats.
Unfortunately, he can't do this.
Manjusri's great wish also included not taking action against Yin Tu Long and Shen Hou. Taoist Guangcheng was a fellow disciple of these two people. If he took action against people from the Buddhist Kingdom, it was very likely that Manjusri would find a breakthrough point and break free from the great wish.
bondage.
At that time, there is no need to wait for one month, and the Buddha Kingdom can take action immediately.
"The Taoist priest knows me."
Manjusri smiled and said: "As the saying goes, it will be exhausted again and again, and it will fade away. Jiang Donor survived two calamities in a row. Although there were losses, he also accumulated a great momentum. But now this great momentum was interrupted by the Dingfeng Pearl, and he stopped.
Before the three disasters, the vigor has been lost. If we, the Buddhist Kingdom, are able to take action at this time, it will be a disaster for Donor Jiang to overcome the disaster."
"If the poor monk is a Taoist priest, he might as well go back at this time to help Master Jiang heal his injuries. Maybe he can regain his strength by the end of the month and survive the catastrophes of heaven and earth together."
"All the mechanisms have been exhausted!" Taoist Guangcheng snorted, his eyes sweeping over Manjusri and the group of arhats, "I am very curious, what kind of price did the Jiang family pay to make the Buddhist country so poor for Taoist Jiang?"
Are you chasing after me, or are you saying that you, Manjusri, have suffered a small loss, so you will do your best to fight tooth for tooth?"
You know, the main goal of the Buddhist Kingdom now is to preach, and it is not yet time to confront Jiang Li.
The main enemy on Jiang Li and Tianxuan's side is not the Buddhist Kingdom, but the Taiping Sect.
What is the reason that makes Master Manjusri pursue Jiang Li so hard? Is it because he was plotted before?
Or did Mr. Jiang give some extraordinary conditions?
If it's the former, that's fine. If it's the latter... the Jiang family members in Yuxu Temple may really want to leave the sect.
"Ha, you can't say it, you can't say it," Manjusri laughed, pretending to be a mysterious riddle, and said pointedly, "Instead of worrying about the relationship between the Buddhist kingdom and the Jiang family, Taoist Master, it would be better to think about it
, being so close to Jiang Li, the branch of the Jiang family, will some of Taoist Master’s fellow disciples become disloyal?”
Avoiding the light and focusing on the serious, even conversely talking about the issues in Yuxu Guan.
It seemed like they were trying to cover up the Jiang family and confuse people's minds, and they also seemed to be trying to make Guangcheng Taoist believe that this was a plan to attack the Jiang family's people in Yuxu Temple.
It's virtual and real, but it's quite simple, allowing people to see two intentions at a glance.
But Manjusri deliberately let people see it.
Between two opposing possibilities, which one is true and which one is false?
This question will definitely involve a lot of mental energy.
Regarding this, Taoist Guangcheng's eyes were like swords and he said decisively: "If the Jiang family really wants to become an enemy of Yuxu Guan, I will let him know the heavy price."
Because the Jiang family had connections with the Buddhist kingdom, Taoist Guangcheng made a gesture of doing business with Jiang Li.
If the head of the Jiang family really becomes a party to the Buddhist kingdom, and allows the Jiang family in Yuxu Temple to cause trouble... then Taoist Guangcheng will transfer his relationship with the Jiang family to Jiang Li
head, and then let those who deviate know the price.
Originally, Yuxu Guan would not participate in the internal fighting of the Jiang family, but if one party became the enemy of Yuxu Guan, the situation would be different.
Theoretically, the Jiang family would not be so unwise, but in reality, who knows what kind of plans they have in mind.
His sword-like eyes glanced at Manjusri for the last time, and Taoist Guangcheng raised a golden light and flew away.
Manjusri watched the golden light return to Yuxu Peak, and then glanced at the snowy peak where the flames were still burning. He also put away his smile and turned around and fell to the ground.
At this time, the wind and snow have disappeared, and the golden Buddha's light shines on the snowy field. Nine Arhats are sitting cross-legged in a circle, with their true bodies in front of them. In the center of the Arhats, the Wheel of Wisdom also shows the Dharma form, Qi machine and all the people.
The Arhats communicated and offered the Wind-fixing Bead together, calming the winds in a thousand-mile radius.
Seeing Manjusri land on the ground, all the Arhats greeted him. At the same time, Huilun said with some regret: "It's a pity that we couldn't inspire Taoist Guangcheng to take action..."
"What kind of state of mind is Guangcheng in? If he doesn't want to take action, even a poor monk with a lotus tongue will not dare him to take action."
Manjusri shook his head without regret and said: "Besides, this is not a bad thing. Giving up on taking action means that Guangcheng believes that Jiang Li needs time, but Jiang Li was interrupted, so how can time make up for it?
of."
"At least," Hui Lun looked thoughtful, "we can allow him to recover from his injuries."
"He has the ocher whip and the Shen Nong Cauldron by his side, so injuries are never a problem. Even if he is injured during the tribulation and vomits blood and has weak energy, these two Jiang family treasures can help him recover quickly," Manjusri said slowly, seeming to understand the situation.
He knew very well, "The key is to cut off the general situation, and the fear after enduring the catastrophe comes to mind, and it takes time to recover. However, after the one-month period is up, he will be attacked by all parties when he is going through the tribulation, and it will be like a knife hanging in his heart.
How can it really be said that it has no impact at all?"
Just like when ordinary people are experiencing a crisis, they may suppress all kinds of distracting thoughts due to a surge of inner energy and concentrate, but later on, they will feel palpitations in their hearts and it is difficult to recover.
Practitioners, especially those who have reached Jiang Li's level, will naturally not be unable to recover for a long time because of a crisis like ordinary people, but the natural disaster is not an ordinary crisis. Face the power of heaven, especially these three disaster levels.
Manjusri did not believe that Jiang Li could not be affected by the calamity aura.
This is the situation Jiang Li is facing now.
The only solution is not to survive the tribulation and not seek promotion.
But in this way, it is also taking advantage of the wishes of people from all sides.
Nowadays, the situation has changed and the situation is turbulent. It can be said that it is the best time to be promoted. After passing this village, this shop may not be there anymore. And today, the Buddhist Council will use the Wind-fixing Pearl to prevent Jiang Li from overcoming the catastrophe. It may not be a bad idea in the future.
The natural calamity is so powerful that it is difficult to hide it from others. If the Buddha Kingdom is willing, it can come to the scene again and again to help Jiang Li quell the disaster.
Only this time, the Buddhist country has the intention to encircle and kill, and will not use the Wind-fixing Pearl to stop them.
Therefore, unless Jiang Li gives up using the Qingyuan Miao Dao True Monarch Dao Fruit to advance to the fourth rank and seeks other Dao Fruits, it would be best for him to overcome the tribulation and be promoted after the one-month period is up.
After hearing the explanation, all the Arhats praised in unison: "The great master has a wonderful plan."
······
······
On the other side, Taoist Guangcheng came and went like lightning, and the golden light returned to Yuxu Temple, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to the previous pavilion again.
Before Shen Hou left, he saw that Taoist Guangcheng had returned in a short time and the wind was still strong, so he knew that there was a difficulty inside.
"Senior brother, who is this powerful person?" Shen Hou asked.
"Buddha country."
Taoist Guangcheng uttered two words, but did not talk much, but asked: "Junior brother, you can be considered to be from the Hou family. What is the plan of the Jiang family now? Do they really want to collude with the Buddhist country and betray them?"
My Yuxu Temple?"
"Spare me, senior brother," Shen Hou heard the words and said with a wry smile, "My Hou family has been established and settled for a long time. If you ask me, you might as well ask that fellow Daoist Jiang. He must know the family's routines better than I do."
"Yeah?"
Taoist Guangcheng did not comment, but looked at Shen Hou with a faint look, "Let's do this, you can tell me whether you would do this if you were in a different place."
The deep and gloomy gazes were like two ancient wells, absorbing one's mind, and the deep atmosphere made Marquis Shen's smile froze.
"Only a fool would do this," Shen Hou pondered for a while and said, "I am one of the twelve golden immortals in Yuxu Temple. Even if I need help, I should try to find ways to bring this temple to its end, rather than abandoning the near and seeking the distant.
Go find the Buddhist country. I’m not a big shot in the Buddhist country?”
"Junior brother is right."
After hearing this, Taoist Guangcheng suddenly smiled, and the profoundness he had felt just now suddenly collapsed, just like an illusion.
After saying that, he flew up again, flying out of Yuxu Peak with golden light, and arrived at the snowy peak where Jiang Li had overcome his calamity.
After being ravaged by thunder and fire, a section of the snow peak was broken, and the snow completely melted, revealing the mountain that was riddled with holes, and even the flames of sinister fire flashed through the holes and cracks.
Jiang Li was sitting cross-legged on the charred ground, his face was like gold paper, his breath was weak, there was still blood on the corner of his mouth, his body was loose, and the illusory firelight had not completely dissipated.
Gongsun Qingyue has already arrived here and is using the Lotus Lamp to heal Jiang Li's injuries. Every time the clear light passes by, the divine light behind Jiang Li flashes slightly.
There is also a little Taoist wearing a battle armor and riding a hot wheel, who is protecting Jiang Li.
Seeing Taoist Guangcheng coming, Yin Tulong frowned delicately and said in a low voice: "In the magnificent Yuxu Temple, there is only a poor Taoist who drags his injured body to help fellow Taoists. It is really degrading.
"
"Junior Brother Yin is said to be the strongest in the fourth rank. Even though he is injured, he is only inferior to Junior Brother Pindao and Guangyuan."
Taoist Guangcheng smoothed his hair, complimented Yin Tulong, walked up to Jiang Li, and said to the person who was blocking him, "It was the Arhats from the Buddhist kingdom who used the Wind-fixing Beads to calm the wind, allowing the wind disaster to arise."
Jiang Li, who had closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke when he heard this, feeling quite puzzled.
"It's the Air Force again. It's really hard to catch a big fish these days."
His complexion improved at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although his breath was still weak, judging from his injuries, he had already recovered more than half.
Jiang Li shook his head and said, "That's not all. The Buddhist country should also have connections with the Immortal Palace."
The Buddhist Kingdom is limited by its great aspirations and cannot take the initiative, but the Immortal Palace does not.
Jiang Li was clearly on the verge of death and was about to go to the west in half a breath, but there was no movement in the Immortal Palace. This is either because the Immortal Queen forcibly resisted the intention of taking action because of the strength of Yuxu Temple, or it was
The Buddha Kingdom and the Immortal Palace established contact.
Because of his great ambition, if Master Manjusri senses that Jiang Li is in danger, he must help him.
If the people from the Immortal Palace really attack, and Taoist Guangcheng cannot stop them, then the Buddhist Kingdom should take over and protect Jiangli in peace.
This is the safety guarantee brought by Jiang Li's pit.
Taking the situation into consideration, Jiang Li felt that the reason was most likely the latter.
Just because even if the Fairy Queen knew that Yuxu Guan was powerful and could not take action against Jiang Li, how would she know if she didn't try.
There's nothing to lose if you give it a try. If you can't defeat anyone, just retreat. With the plain cloud flag there, there's no problem for the people in the Immortal Palace to retreat.
If you don’t even try, you probably know that it will be useless even if you try.
Taoist Guangcheng also thought of this and said: "The Fairy Queen and Manjusri are enough to prevent Pindao and Junior Brother Guangyuan from taking action. If Taoist fellow Taoist is still promoted after twenty-five days, I am afraid that there will be disasters from heaven and humans.
It’s extremely dangerous.”
And this is only an apparent threat.
Jiang Li would not be so optimistic as to think that he had only provoked two enemies.
There are more than one force that wants Jiang Li dead more than the Immortal Palace and the Buddhist Kingdom. It will definitely be busy during the storm.
When Taoist Guangcheng said this, he obviously wanted to ask Jiang Li for his opinion.
——Do you want to continue?
Regarding this, Jiang Li's expression remained unchanged, and his determination was still the same as before the tribulation.
"This is a trial."
Take off your clothes.
Jiang Li took off the damaged Yun Yi, and with a thought, the white clothes took shape automatically. At the same time, his long hair broke away from the damaged crown, and the hair that was slightly bent by the thunder hung down. "If a person wants to climb the peak, he must
If you want to endure hardship, you have to sweat. Although it is difficult, when he stands on the top of the mountain, he will find that it is all worth it."
"Right now, this is a trial to climb to the top. The stronger the enemy, the more enjoyable it will be when I bury the enemy and reach the top."
"It seems that Taoist fellow Taoist has not been affected by Manjusri's scheming." Taoist Guangcheng showed a smile.
Whether it is advancement or retreat, Taoist Guangcheng can accept it. Advance is brave, retreat is not necessarily timid. The most important thing is not advancement or retreat, but a stable mentality.
If we are at a loss as a result, that would be very disappointing.
Fortunately, Jiang Li did not disappoint Taoist Guangcheng.
"Because of me, I don't think I will lose." Jiang Li said.
He didn't even think he would lose, so why would he be upset because of fear of failure?
