He Xie looked at the queen in front of him with a calm expression, but in fact his heart was filled with turmoil.
It was obvious that the head of the Xiliang Female Kingdom knew what she was going to do here, and also knew that the decree to transform the spider spirit was given to her by the Buddha through Ananda.
This is not surprising. After all, there are so many magicians who can count these days. He Xie is not even sure whether those experts can figure out that the inner bag he is wearing is a boxer shape version.
What horrified He Xie was that, if he remembered correctly, Chang Huanxi Arhat, who greeted the daughter of the country at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, had told him that the leader of her country was a disciple of Taishang Laojun.
So does it mean that it is Taishang Laojun who is preventing Buddha from clearing out the demons in Hezhou, Xiniu?
Have you become a pawn on the front line of the battle between Buddhism and Taoism?
But this still doesn't make sense.
Why did Taishang Laojun stop it?
It should be noted that the seven spider spirits were a disaster for Tang Sanzang on his way to obtain scriptures. He Xie's killing of the spider spirits would mess up the cause and effect in the future. The trouble lies with Western religions.
The question returns to the original doubt, why did Buddha kill the spider spirit?
If we look at this matter in reverse, it would make sense. Taishang Laojun wanted to kill the spider spirit, which ruined the grand event planned by the Western religion in a thousand years, and the Buddha sent He Xie to rescue the spider spirit to ensure that the cause and effect were not the same.
chaos.
Very contradictory...
He Xie was thinking a lot and looked at the noble and elegant female princess quietly, while the queen also looked at him with a smile without saying a word.
The two were silent for a while, and He Xie finally made a decision.
He clasped his palms together and said: "Your Majesty's kind words, the poor monk is deeply grateful, but the Buddha's decree cannot be disrespected. If there is nothing else, the poor monk will retire first and come back to apologize later."
After saying that, He Xie bowed slightly and made a magic spell, and the auspicious clouds under his feet suddenly drifted towards the east.
The queen quietly watched He Xie's retreating figure, and after a long time she let out a long sigh, seemingly filled with endless sadness and helplessness.
"Didn't you forcefully stop me..."
He Xie flew for dozens of miles but did not see the Queen following him. Instead of relaxing at all, He Xie's heart became even heavier.
He would not be so stupid that the person behind the queen would just give him some advice. The queen had no intention of forcing him to stay. In He Xie's opinion, there was only one possibility -
"It seems that the real pressure is still ahead..." He looked deeply at the sky ahead.
At the same time, in the Zhuzi Kingdom, outside Pansil Ridge, a demon with red hair and exposed fangs had just descended from the clouds. Suddenly, his face became wary and he looked towards the void ahead.
"It is worthy of the golden-haired roar of Master Guanyin, and the spiritual awareness is really amazing."
As a warm voice sounded, the space rippled, and a barefoot monk wearing moon-white monk robes, with red lips and white teeth slowly appeared. He raised his palm in a salute with one hand, and made a lotus shape with the other hand, smiling compassionately.
.
"Sai Tai Sui, I haven't seen you for a long time, but my style is still the same. I'm really gratified." The barefoot monk said with a gentle smile.
Sai Taisui glanced at the barefoot monk's hand with fear, turned his wrist, and suddenly there was a purple-gold bell in his palm.
This scene immediately made the barefoot monk's pupils shrink.
Sai Taisui smiled: "It turns out to be Venerable Kasyapa. Alas, you got there first. It seems that my trip to Sai is destined to come back in vain. It's just that-"
Sai Taisui's tone suddenly turned cold: "You are so rebellious, aren't you afraid of being killed in a great calamity?"
Venerable Kassapa's smile was still gentle and he said: "If such a day comes, who can escape it?"
Sai Taisui sarcastically said: "It's really ironic. You are a disciple of Buddha, but you want to kill people; I am a demon, but you want to save people's lives. In Xiniu Hezhou, there are no Buddhas and no demons. I think chaos is just around the corner!"
Venerable Kassapa's smile faded a little: "One thought will make you a Buddha, and one thought will turn you into a demon. Buddhas and demons only exist in one thought. Those who save people may not be compassionate, and those who kill may not be vicious. Who can really defeat the good and evil in the world?
"
"Fake..." Sai Taisui muttered disdainfully, looked around, found a big locust tree, jumped on the branch, took out a can of wine, and started drinking.
Venerable Kasyapa looked at this scene and couldn't help but said: "Is Tai Sui still determined to save those seven spiders? Tai Sui knows that the poor monk has set up a magic circle in Pansi Ridge, and also in the back mountain.
With my junior brother guarding me, why should I waste my time in vain?"
Sai Taisui rolled his eyes and said lazily: "What? You are allowed to stay here, but you are not allowed to stay here? This is not a spiritual mountain."
"No..." Kasyapa suddenly reacted, and his expression suddenly changed, "Are you trying to stop this poor monk?"
"Have you been spotted?" Sai Taisui pretended to be surprised, but in fact he was not surprised. He chuckled and said, "Sir, you have the flower finger, and I have the purple bell. If we really fight, no one can do anything to the other, not as good as you
Guard your mountain, I will drink my wine, and no one will care about the other. You don’t have to worry about Lord Rahula in the back mountain, there will naturally be someone to accompany him to relieve his boredom."
Kasyapa became serious and his thoughts began to circulate rapidly.
This time the Buddha issued a decree to clean up the chaos in Hezhou, Xiniu. The first ones to be treated were these seven spider spirits with no background.
As the great disciple of the Buddha, he was clearly aware of the involvement behind this matter. He knew that the resistance to this matter was huge, otherwise the Buddha would not have tolerated it for five hundred years, and only then suddenly took action.
The arrival of Sai Tai Sui was expected by the Buddha, but it was unexpected that the demon stayed behind to restrain him. After all, it is difficult for the Buddha to understand the world and people's hearts.
However, the reason for this is not difficult to guess. Sai Taisui kept him because he was afraid that he would do something bad.
Although there are many entanglements at this time, there are only two points among the Buddhas. One is Pansiling, and the other is the newly appointed envoy of the Pure Altar.
Kasyapa's eyes flickered, and he made calculations in his mind, trying to find out the truth.
At this time, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have their own restraints and cannot escape easily. Even the Arhats, Heavenly Kings and the Eight Tribes belonging to the various forces have their own restraints.
The only people who could move did not dare to go too far.
So, who else will have an impact on the messenger who cleans the altar?
Daughter of the king?
Kasyapa instantly thought of this person, but he thought that this person's status was embarrassing and he would not dare to go too far. Moreover, according to Junior Brother Ananda, the Purifying Altar Messenger was very understanding, so he would not be persuaded by this woman's few words.
So who else?
He was thinking hard, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and it exploded like thunder in an instant, his face changed drastically, and his whole body was shocked!
He thought of a possibility and couldn't calm down for a long time. He slowly looked to the west, his heart trembling and his face showing a bitter look.
"Junior brother...you don't really want to go to this point, do you?"
At this time, He Xie had arrived in Baoxiang Kingdom. From a distance, he saw a man standing empty in the air. No matter how he detoured, the man always stopped several miles away in front of him. He Xie suddenly understood that this was a great magical power.
He can't avoid this person.
Looking at the smiling monk not far away, He Xie sighed inwardly and finally went up to him.
