Chapter 604: In the Temple of Transformation
Journey to the West, the southern Ganbu Continent, the Tang Dynasty, the imperial capital Chang'an.
When Han Nuo led Su Xianyun and Chu Lanxin to the Huasheng Temple, the plot had already come to the time when Chen Xuanzang was selected as the "Great Virtuous Walker" and was ready to preside over the water and land conference.
It was the end of August, and there were only a few days left before the selected auspicious day.
People come and go in the temple, not only monks and laymen welcome and send them, but also military and civilian servants help to arrange the venue.
The old tiles are renovated, the doors and windows are repaired, the paint is peeled off and repainted, the flags and lanterns are hung on both sides, the Buddha statue stands in the golden body hall, the melon and fruit cakes are crispy and three animals are enshrined, the front hall is full of sandalwood, and the back kitchen is full of smoke, which is a busy scene.
Han Nuo and the three of them were invisible, looking at this picture from the air.
At this time, Han Nuo's blue scarf wiped his forehead, his purple crown tied his hair, and his brocade robe and jade belt looked not like a heavenly general, but like a prince in the world.
Su Xianyun next to him is graceful and luxurious, with purple clothes and cloud buns, carrying Yaoqin, while Chu Lanxin is a blue-clothed flying immortal, wearing a long sword at his waist, smiling, and each with its own charm.
Although Han Nuo didn't know the empress's true calculations yet, he already had a hunch that this world would not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed, and he was going to enter reincarnation in advance.
Therefore, since the day of Taishang Laojun's visit, the three of them have not been separated from each other, and their clothing, food, housing and transportation have been together.
But no matter how good the times are, there is always an end.
"But the Xuanwu God is coming? If you have time, why don't you come down and get together? A mellow and old voice sounded beside the three of them.
"Sounds familiar, who's this?" Han Nuo asked.
Chu Lanxin said first: "It should be, 'Heavenly Machine' Sun Chengdao." ”
"Madame Erli, it's the old way." Tianji smiled.
"Let's go."
When Tianji said the first sentence, Han Nuo had already discovered his location, and at this time, his body moved, and he had already arrived next to the rockery and strange stones by the clear pond.
In the hexagonal pavilion, Tianji and Wu Qingying each sit in a corner, and a pot of Tieguanyin has been boiled on the stone table.
"Kiyokage is there, too." Chu Lanxin greeted with a smile.
"Qingying has seen Master, Master." Wu Qingying officially saluted.
Han Nuo glanced at her seriously and snorted lightly, which could be regarded as recognizing her as an apprentice.
Although Wu Qingying is the empress's person, since the grievances with the empress are clear, and Wu Qingying still considers himself a disciple, then Han Nuo doesn't mind continuing to recognize this apprentice.
He turned to look at Tianji and asked, "Now you are in charge of guarding this place?" ”
That's what he asked, but Han Nuo felt that most of them weren't, after all, the strength of the heavenly machine was in divination, and it was lacking in combat power.
Sure enough, Tianji twisted his white beard, shook his head and said, "With my ability, how can I have this qualification." ”
The dragons and snakes in the Huasheng Temple are mixed, the immortals and Buddhas are hidden, and Han Nuo is already weak in the sense of heaven and man, and it is difficult to detect other players who are deliberately hidden at this time.
Even if you find a few strange places, you can't tell who it is.
He didn't bother to distinguish it, so he asked directly: "Then who is in charge of here?" ”
Tianji said: "It's the 'Jade Buddha' Xuanjing." ”
"It's her."
Han Nuo nodded and said, "That's right, this is a Buddhist temple after all." ”
"Jade Buddha" Xuanjing has always been low-key and has no reputation, but her strength should not be underestimated, and Han Nuo, who was reincarnated and rebuilt, did not dare to say that she would definitely be able to defeat her.
Now, although Han Nuo has been promoted to eight stars, Xuan Jing is definitely not only the strength he had before.
He took a little thought out to explore the surroundings, wanting to see where Xuanjing was, and continued to ask, "Then what are you doing here?" ”
Tianji smiled: "My role has long been over, now I'm just here to see if I can help a little." ”
"Oh? What did you do before? Han Nuo asked.
Tianji smiled a little proudly: "Yuan Shoucheng, you must know everything, right?" Hey, I played Yuan Shoucheng before. ”
Yuan Shoucheng is the Taoist priest who made a bet with the Dragon King of Jinghe and put him on the Dragon Stage.
The grievance between Yuan Shoucheng and the Dragon King of Jinghe can be said to be the starting point of the plot of Journey to the West.
First of all, the Dragon King of Jinghe won the gambling game, but because of this, he violated the rules of heaven and should be killed on the Dragon Terrace, Yuan Shoucheng instructed him to go to the King of Tang to save his life;
Although Li Shimin responded to save him, he didn't expect Wei Zheng to be able to supervise and behead him in his dream, so he lost his trust in the Dragon King of Jinghe;
After the death of the Dragon King of Jinghe, he was unwilling, and the resentful spirit rushed into the palace, which frightened Li Shimin, and asked Qin Shubao and Wei Chigong to guard the palace gate before he dared to sleep.
Tang Wang was hit by the dragon soul, the soul did not possess the body, so that he died of serious illness, the soul returned to the underworld, and after crossing the Yin Mountain to see the eighteen hells, the Nai He Bridge, and the six reincarnations, he was resurrected.
In the whole process, thanks to the help of Buddhism, there will be this 7749-day water and land conference.
Those who know the inside story understand that this is all a scene arranged by Buddhism.
Chu Lan asked curiously: "Then Yuan Shoucheng, is it really Yuan Tiangang's uncle?" ”
Tianji shook his head: "That's right, in fact, where is this person, it's just an arranged person." ”
"This Journey to the West plot is certainly a great plan of Buddhism, but the Daomen has also made a lot of efforts, for example, the two boys and mounts of Taishang Laojun are both demons in the lower realm, this is not a coincidence that the word 'coincidence' makes sense."
"Moreover, if you look at the word 'sincerity', isn't it just a reminder of the Dragon King of Jinghe. If he didn't cheat and was willing to gamble and lose, he would naturally not have violated the rules of heaven and died on Longtai. ”
"This is exactly the practice of the 'endless road to heaven' that the Daomen pays attention to."
Han Nuo nodded: "That's right, then how much merit did you earn in this role-play?" ”
Tianji still smiled: "Hehe, a lot, 300,000 merits!" ”
Quite a few, indeed.
According to the Huaxia cultivation system, three million merits can be sealed by the heavens and attain the position of seven-star earth immortal, although there is only a seven-star personality, it may not have seven-star combat power, but it can also be said to be a step to the sky.
These 300,000 merits are directly one-tenth of them, and it is no wonder that Tianji smiled so proudly.
Chu Lan said with envy and hatred: "Your merit is too easy to come by!" ”
Su Xianyun frowned: "How can there be so many?" ”
Han Nuo also said: "It's really not right, it's not a universal merit, right?" ”
Speaking of this, Tianji's smile collapsed a little: "It's really not, it's the exclusive merit of this Journey to the West world, and it can only be converted into a general merit after it is settled." However, although I don't know what the exact proportion will be, it must be quite a lot. ”
At this time, Han Nuo smiled and said, "That's not necessarily." If Tang Seng dies and even the world is destroyed, how much merit will you have left? ”
Hey?
Tianji and Wu Qingying glanced at each other, and they were both a little surprised: Could it be that he had already guessed?
Seeing their expressions, Han Nuo smiled and asked, "Do you have something to hide from me?" ”
