The forbidden area of Tianren Academy, the Spring and Autumn Pagoda Forest, is said to be an independent cave located in the middle of the academy. Every Tongxuan master of the academy has a tower here. In addition, there is also a main tower named
The Tower of Heaven is where the Tongxuan Daxiu discuss matters.
At this moment, on the first floor of the Tianta, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting there cross-legged, wearing a golden robe, making seals with his hands, and a golden dragon on his chest, like a koi, walking up and down, exhaling spiritual light. After a while, there were all kinds of brilliance.
They flashed one after another, and correspondingly, figures emerged one after another, from virtual to real. After a while, six people came, all of them were true spirit monks. They each sat there without saying a word.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the six people arriving, he immediately asked, "What was the previous plan?"
The first person to speak was a burly Buddhist cultivator. He was wearing a lama's robe, but his head was bare, and he held a vajra in his right hand. "Here is the list of Buddhist sects for this Dabi." As he spoke, a word came out.
A jade slip flew out from his sleeves and robes. "The publication of the classics has little impact on the Buddhist sect, but there is quite a bit of criticism about the spread of the Mandala Dharma world."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, as if he had expected it.
Immediately afterwards, a Taoist cultivator with a jade hairpin and an immortal wind crane bone in his head flicked the dust and a jade slip flew out from his Taoist robe, "The influence on the Taoist side is not big. The skills, talismans, and formations are all different.
into a system.”
Then, there was a charming female Confucian monk. She took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang, "The same is true for Confucianism. All schools of thought have their own strengths, but they are all based on ethics.
.Even if some low-level monks switch to other schools, it will not cause any harm."
Then, there was a demon cultivator dressed in shiny leather. His eyes were like copper bells and his voice was like a loud bell. "Now, my place is already a bit chaotic. Many of the privacy and taboos of our clan have been spread out. What happened is
Everyone below the True Spirit is in danger." After saying that, he also handed out a jade slip.
Then, there was the demonic cultivator whose face was obscured by the black aura. He was very low-key, silently took out a jade slip, and said softly, "The demonic cultivator is also in chaos. The Heaven-defying Alliance and the Tiancan Sect, and
The Great Freedom Palace is increasingly wary of each other."
Finally, an elegant-looking ghost cultivator took out a jade slip and muttered, "Maybe it's just that I've just come into contact with it, and the Ghost Sect seems to secretly welcome this matter."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "The Ghost Sect actually has no branches, so it is naturally not afraid of internal faction disputes. Perhaps, it even published this book to the public as a good opportunity to strengthen its own strength.
Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head and looked at the six jade slips in his hand, "These situations are indeed what we have calculated before. With these lists, we can proceed to the second step." At this point, he
Reaching forward a little, a ball of light appeared, then slowly rotated, and the scene outside the academy was vividly visible.
At this moment, there are monks from the six sects around the academy, but they are not here to read for free. Instead, they are standing there solemnly like a law enforcement team. With such a posture, no monks and no ordinary people dare to do anything casually.
near.
Seeing this scene, the ghost cultivator saluted Zhu Yuanzhang, "It's so blatant and deceptive. The academy can send people out to drive out these monks."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, "Many people in the academy are opposed to the publication of many classics to the public. In the current situation, they are happy to see the results and will not be willing to take action. And it is not convenient for you to show your face publicly."
"Then how to make the next plan?" The Buddhist cultivator holding the vajra asked, "After these few days, I can only go in and out. There should not be that many ordinary people in the academy anymore, right?"
"Perhaps we can bring a few ordinary people in and then take them out?" said the Confucian female cultivator.
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered and shook his head, "The key to this matter is that it must be seamless and let nature take its course without any trace."
For a moment, all seven people fell silent.
Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from the mouth of the demon cultivator whose face and figure were hidden in the black air, "Besides the six sects, there is Yongzhou. The Yongzhou delegation is in the academy now. Why not let them come forward to handle this?
thing?"
The ghost cultivator frowned and said, "After the Yongzhou envoy arrived in the capital, they have been staying in the academy and refusing to leave outsiders. This matter may seem out of the blue when they find them. People from the six sects will know it at a glance.
"
After hearing this, the ghost cultivator sneered.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand and said, "I was entrusted by my old friend to keep them in the courtyard just to take care of them. I absolutely cannot involve them. I have already planned this matter. You don't have to worry. Go back.
Then just follow the plan."
Zhu Yuanzhang said this, and the other six people stopped talking and disappeared one after another.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat there again, like an old monk in meditation. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, took out a jade communication talisman, thought about it, and then poured his spiritual power into it.
...
"Senior brother must have arrived in the capital, but he has not received any message from him, let alone seen him coming to the academy. After thinking about it, is it possible that there is something wrong with the announcement of many classics to the public? I wonder where brother is staying now, Yuan Zhang
Come and apologize."
Wuxu, after reading the message in the jade talisman, calmed down and replied directly, "Heavenly Academy is the academy for people in the world. I highly appreciate this sentence. But the Dharma should not be taught lightly, and the secrets of various sects should not be lightly taught.
Vent, otherwise the disadvantages will be great."
A moment later, Zhu Yuanzhang's reply came. "Under the situation, I have a lot of helplessness. I can only explain it in detail in person, and I hope that my senior brother can help me clarify my doubts in detail."
Wuxu thought for a while, asked Fairy Yu for the name of the inn, and then told her and Li Mingshan that he would meet Zhu Yuanzhang here.
Fairy Yu thought for a moment, "This is the secret stronghold of the capital of the Great Freedom Palace, but it is almost known to everyone among the upper echelons of monks. There is no need to worry about leaking the secrets here. However, when the master met Zhu Yuanzhang, he chose
It’s better at Ci’en Temple.”
Why didn't Wuxu understand this? But Wuxu was a little angry and even had the idea of deliberately "making things difficult" for Zhu Yuanzhang.
Wuxu flicked his sleeves and robe, "What about here? In his Academy of Heaven and Humanity, he invites everyone to go there and read a lot of books. Isn't it true that there is no distinction between good and evil?"
...
To the west of Tianren Academy, there is a large bamboo forest. This bamboo forest covers an area of more than a thousand acres. Its original purpose is to isolate. Because on the other side of the bamboo forest, more than ten miles away, is the Buddhist sect in the capital.
station. Looking to the west, there are temples one after another, solemn and solemn. The one at the front is naturally the Jinguang Temple of the Aurora Sect.
Not only the west side, or not only the west side of Tianren Academy, but also in other directions, there are similar restricted areas. Therefore, if a person from the Buddhist sect wants to go to the Great Zhou Palace or Tianren Academy, he will never go directly through it.
To pass through the bamboo forest, you have to take a detour
Then, we walked to the specially built main road, and the north and south directions of the main road were Tianren Academy and the Imperial Palace of the Zhou Dynasty respectively.
But at this time, in the bamboo forest, there was a Buddhist cultivator holding a vajra, walking from east to west. There seemed to be no problem with this, after all, he was not walking from west to east.
This Buddhist cultivator was the same Buddhist cultivator who had just appeared in the Heavenly Pagoda in the Spring and Autumn Pagoda Forest of Tianren Academy. Perhaps he was afraid of the rumored ban, so he did not fly into the air. He was tall and tall, and his steps were strong and steady.
On the thick bamboo leaves on the ground, there are bursts of rustling sounds, subtle and rhythmic, which can be said to be a very good BGM.
Suddenly, he stopped and raised the vajra.
After a while, he put down his hands and started to move forward again, but his feet did not touch the ground.
The entire bamboo forest seemed more peaceful.
Not long after, he stopped again and raised the vajra again.
Suddenly, a chant of Buddha's chant rang out, and a figure walked out.
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Dorje." The Buddhist cultivator said with a smile, but he still held the vajra in his hand high.
"Wang Baobao, you apostatized and became a devil in the human world. When you came to Tianwai Tianjiaguang Sect, they took pity on your difficulty in practicing and asked you to return to Buddhism. But I didn't expect that you are now secretly colluding with Tianren Academy." Duoji put his hands together, showing neither sadness nor joy.
It turns out that this Buddhist cultivator is Wang Baobao. If Wuxu were here, he would be shocked.
Wang Baobao smiled, shook his head and said, "These days, I often practice meditation in this bamboo forest and gain enlightenment. Brother Duoji, why do you say that I am in collusion with Tianren Academy?"
Duoji took a step forward and said, "The bamboo forest here hides many restrictions on my Buddhist monks. But you just want to meditate here?"
Wang Baobao's face darkened, "Enter the fire to gather at the Qingliang Gate. Brother Dorje, but you don't even understand this principle?" As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards Dorje, and the vajra in his hand began to glow with dazzling light.
of golden light.
The surrounding green bamboos began to sway, and the bamboo shadows were heavy, and the restriction specifically targeted at Buddhist cultivators began to activate. The green bamboo poles emitted bright brilliance. After a while, all contact between the two people and the outside world was cut off, auras were cut off, and sex sounds were cut off.
fragrance.
On Duoji's side, he formed a seal with his hands and held up a string of white bone beads. This string of white bone beads, glowing with white light, floated towards the oncoming Dorji. The white gold intersected, the beads suddenly stopped, and began to gradually retreat, and then seemed to be withholding
Without the huge pressure of the vajra, the string of beads scattered, but they all flew forward again.
Wang Baobao stopped and made a mudra with his left hand. The vajra in his right hand held up circles of golden halo. Perhaps because of the continuous output of spiritual power, his face was a little red, but under the golden halo
However, the appearance looks very good.
At this time, the thick bamboo leaves on the ground floated automatically, and they gathered into strands, like grass dragons, whirling around Wang Baobao and Duoji.
Both of them suppressed their momentum in unison. The True Spirit monks started fighting, and the Bamboo Forest Restriction was immediately activated. Whoever struck harder would be more suppressed. Such a situation was like fighting in a stormy sea, and it was quite a dilemma.
and hardships.
"Senior Brother Duoji, you and I are both true spirits of Buddhism. Is there anything we can't sit down and talk about? If we attract people from Tianren Academy to watch the joke, we will be the sinners of the Buddhist sect." Wang Baobao was silent for a moment.
Said out loud.
"Namo Sakyamuni Buddha!" Dorje recited the Buddha's name and walked towards Wang Baobao. The flying white bone beads gathered on his hands, like a water-proof pearl, emitting bright light.
, sometimes it looks like a skull, with a faint brilliance.
Wang Baobao took a deep breath, removed the golden halo, and walked towards Dorje. The raised Vajra only emitted a golden light the size of a sesame seed, like a candlelight in the wind.
In the sea of bamboo, two people walked slowly towards each other.
Thousands of bamboo leaves, glowing with green light, rotated rapidly, until finally, a passage was made. However, the densely packed bamboo poles around them made a crackling sound, and the small branches and leaves on them began to grow crazily.
The two stopped, looked at each other for a moment, and then both jumped up.
The white bone Buddha beads are scattered again like stars in the sky, but the brilliance is restrained, as if they are thousands of miles away from here. The vajra pestle also suddenly flies out, facing the wind, and looks like a golden statue.
The golden Buddha is extremely majestic.
At this time, the already strong branches and leaves on the surrounding bamboo poles stretched out together, blocking out the sky and the sun, forming a giant green palm above the two people, pressing down heavily like a millstone.
With a bang, Wang Baobao and Duoji coughed up blood and flew out each other. The open space in the middle completely collapsed and was bottomless. The giant green palm also retracted, and only the bamboo leaves in the air were still whirling and spinning.
Once again, Wang Baobao and Duoji were submerged and separated.
After a while, Dorje's chanting of the Buddha's name sounded again.
Wang Baobao stood up slowly from the ground. He heard the sound of the Buddha's trumpet, there was blood on the corner of his mouth, and the expression on his face changed rapidly.
This time, he did not walk towards Dorje like before. He stood there, motionless. The purple monk's robe had several holes due to the attack of Dorje's beads just now. Under the impact of the bamboo leaves flying around,
It was rustling and messy.
The sound of Dorje's Buddha's trumpet was getting closer and closer. Wang Baobao lowered his head, and his breath became lighter and lighter. The vajra in his hand had no luster, like broken copper and iron.
Duoji came over. He had already put away the string of white bone beads. His face was pale and he still clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name in a low voice. He took small steps with each sound of the Buddha's name and staggered forward, very much like an ascetic monk.
Finally, the two came face to face, only a few meters apart.
Finally, Duoji stretched out his right hand, with one palm like a sword, and stabbed straight towards Wang Baobao. Wang Baobao's figure immediately disappeared. Duoji's expression was calm, as if he had expected it. He continued to move forward quickly, without withdrawing his right hand, raising it diagonally.
The upward gesture is like a knife, and there is also a short dagger in the left hand, which is held on the back.
Sure enough, Wang Baobao appeared silently in the sky behind Duoji. His figure was still extremely faint, like a shadow, but this shadow moved with Duoji like a snake and scorpion ghost, making no sound. But his expression was
It became more and more ferocious, and the vajra held high in the hand became more and more clear and solid, and then it gradually approached the back of Duoji's head.
Finally, the vajra struck Dorje on the back of his head.
There was an urgent and inaudible sound, and Dorji's body was like a porcelain doll, dismembered inch by inch. There was no blood spattering, and it seemed that it had been evaporated by some kind of power; no consciousness and soul escaped, only wisps of black like burning ashes.
Overflowing with energy, I wandered endlessly in the green bamboo sea.
king
Baobao, however, did not show any joy at all, but instead showed a look of horror.
A ray of magic light fell from the sky, as fast as lightning. Wang Baobao's figure suddenly became clear, or it could be said that it solidified instantly. A black dagger pierced his back and came out from his heart.
"Are you a demon cultivator? Who are you?!" Wang Baobao turned his head with difficulty and asked in a trembling voice.
Duoji slowly emerged from the demonic energy lingering in the air, without replying, just a little empty. Wang Baobao screamed suddenly, and then became silent again.
At this moment, Duoji's expression became extremely solemn, and he used a series of spells to pull out the dagger inserted into Wang Baobao's body bit by bit. The dagger was only three inches long, but it seemed to be as numerous as a thousand daggers. After several breaths, it was still
Most of it remains in Wang Baobao's body.
At this time, a gray figure appeared, looked at Duoji, then stretched out his rugged five fingers and pressed down on Wang Baobao.
In mid-air, another shrill scream from Wang Baobao seemed to be heard.
The dagger flew up and headed straight for Duoji; Wang Baobao's body fell into the hands of the gray figure.
Duoji put away the dagger and was about to salute and thank him.
The gray figure waved his hand, "The people from Tianren Academy will be here soon. You can leave quickly with me." After that, he disappeared with Duoji.
...
Xiayin Inn?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the signboard banner of the inn and secretly shook his head in his heart. He had always wondered why Wuxu often hung out with the demon cultivator. After standing outside for a while and sending a message to Wuxu, he slowly walked around.
Stepping forward, he walked in.
After receiving the news, Wuxu thought about it and walked out of the secret realm.
Every few steps they took, the two recognized each other. Although at this moment, Wuxu was still dressed as a man-eating demon monk, and Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a cyan robe and a cyan mask.
The two found a quiet suite and sat down. After Xiao'er enthusiastically brought tea, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around, then slowly took off his mask, smiled at Wuxu and said, "The scented tea here is quite famous.
, meeting again after a long absence, Yuan Zhang first toasted to senior brother with tea instead of wine."
Wuxu raised his tea cup and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "It's time for me to respect you. Thank you for taking care of our Yongzhou mission these days."
"It's nothing to worry about what is within the scope of duties. Yuanzhang drinks first as a sign of respect!" Zhu Yuanzhang held up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang put the tea cup on the table and slowly took out a jade slip, "I wonder if my senior brother still remembers that when Yuan Zhang and his senior brother met for the first time in the capital, when they talked about the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they once mentioned something
Is the sect extremely domineering?"
Wuxu naturally remembered it and couldn't help but look at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
Wuxu took the jade slip and penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness. His face was moved and he read it with concentration.
At this glance, it was a long time. Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have expected it, and sat there silently, waiting patiently.
Nearly half an hour passed before Wuxu recovered his mind and looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang, "That's it."
Zhu Yuanzhang and Wuxu had known each other for a long time, and he knew at a glance that Wuxu still had questions, so he immediately smiled and said, "Brother, if you have any questions, you might as well tell me and let me answer them in detail."
Wuxu took a sip of tea, closed his eyes in concentration, and asked slowly, "Since this martial art of the Imperial Zhou Dynasty has many similarities with the Mandala Dharma Realm, as you said before, they are quite mutually reinforcing and incompatible.
.But in this case, are you sure that you won’t end up making a wedding dress for the Zhou royal family?”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "If this were not the case, how could the Zhou royal family support our Tianren Academy? In the end, it all depends on luck." He was referring to the fact that the Tianren Academy made many classics available to the public.
Seeing that he was so confident, Wuxu didn't want to say anything more about it, so he said, "Even so, there is no need to explain the Dharma Realm of Mandala in such detail. In your jade slip, you can express the unification of the universe and the great Zhou royal family.
The exercises are just an outline."
Zhu Yuanzhang gave a wry smile and said, "Brother, please don't misunderstand. Whether it is the unity of the universe and the Mandala Dharma Realm, Tianren Academy only has a rough idea. As for the Mandala Dharma Realm, in that jade slip, see
It seems to be extremely detailed, but in fact it is mainly composed of complicated rituals."
Wuxu was about to say that in addition to rituals, there are many realm divisions and many corresponding taboos.
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have other minds, and then said, "I'll tell you the truth. Why are these contents so detailed? In fact, it was the people of the Buddhist sect who propagated the Dharma, sat on the lotus platform, and preached it personally in public. Otherwise,
The Buddha Sect has also come to our door a long time ago."
"The Dharma should not be taught lightly." Wuxu finally sighed, "The World-Honored One speaks according to circumstances and according to sentient beings. Nowadays, in the Academy of Heaven and Humanity, there is no distinction, no distinction, no matter whether it is good or evil, all the classics are published, I'm afraid
It will not bring happiness to all living beings, but will only cause trouble."
Zhu Yuanzhang, with a look of helplessness on his face, said in a low voice, "Submit authority in urgent matters and choose the lesser of two evils."
"What's so urgent?" Wuxu asked immediately.
Zhu Yuanzhang replied, "Serial changes have occurred, and a catastrophe is coming. For our human race, we have to fight for it."
Wuxu was silent for a moment, and said after a moment, "The Dharma should not be taught lightly, there is another truth. There is a common saying in the world, the disciples of the church starve to death, the master. Even if you in Tianren Academy are not afraid of starving to death, others are. There is also a common saying in the world,
A person's path to wealth is like killing his parents."
At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang finally let out a long sigh and said, "Senior brother is right. Now monks from the Six Sects are gathered in groups and brazenly guarding the outside of Tianren Academy. Even ordinary people are too scared to come close."
Wuxu smiled and said nothing.
At this time, Fairy Yu's voice sounded outside, "It's quiet inside. Could it be that you two are meditating and enlightening inside?"
The door opened immediately, and Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan walked in.
"It turns out they are two Taoist friends." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, "Yuanzhang and Senior Brother Wuxu have not met each other for a long time, so they came here specially to have some heart-to-heart talks. But I didn't expect these two Taoist friends to be here, so it would be rude."
Fairy Yu looked at the tea set on the round table and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Zhu is here to reminisce with Master Wuxu. I and fellow Daoist Li should not disturb me. But at this moment, a big event happened outside. There is an uproar and the whole city is stormy."
Oh? Wuxu and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan with a look of inquiry.
At this time, Fairy Yu fell silent. Li Mingshan stood there, pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice, "The star array in the sky is rotating rapidly, the sun, moon and stars fall, and day and night are turned upside down in an instant."
Wuxu and Zhu Yuanzhang were immediately startled and stood up. As true spirit monks, they naturally knew the meaning of these words.
There are two monks from Xuanyang and Netherworld, breaking through the star formation in the sky and descending to Xuanyin.
