Chapter 23: Invitations

The Heavenly Court army was defeated and took Crested Mountain.

The majesty of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom spread throughout the Three Realms at once.

The capture of Nezha, the great god of the Three Altars Sea Society, also made the Three Realms shake.

The Jade Emperor was furious and invited the Buddha to move to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to discuss important matters.

A big storm is brewing.

However, the Tang monks and apprentices who stopped and stopped on the westbound road were already about to reach their destination.

However, this time, they were still several eons short of the calamity.

Lu Fengqiu calculated, originally according to the number of the westward journey of this heaven and earth, Tang monks and apprentices would not have arrived near the Great Leiyin Temple so quickly.

However, due to his appearance, the biggest catastrophe of Tang Seng and his apprentices on the way to the west was messed up, and Tang Seng and his apprentices experienced a few fewer tribulations.

The most important thing is that there is no refuge of ten thousand demons.

And the main character of the weird Ten Thousand Demons is naturally the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons.

Lu Fengqiu's self will still leave this world in the future.

The Demon Queen and the gibbon monkey will stay.

Therefore, Lu Fengqiu wants to make this world a little purer.

Now, the soldiers and horses of the Heavenly Court are facing the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

Lu Fengqiu could guess the Jade Emperor's thoughts.

He also knew that the Jade Emperor would definitely join forces with Rulai and start a war against the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom together.

However, Lu Fengqiu was not worried at all, although he had only awakened his self, not his body to this world.

But as long as he doesn't have a bit of true nature, there is no immortal Buddha in this heaven and earth who can help him.

Moreover, he also has the Pure World White Lotus.

The white lotus karmic fire, burning everything, will not be half a point worse than the red lotus karmic fire.

Lu Fengqiu's plan is very simple, that is, to make the ten thousand demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom become real immortals.

He didn't want to take control of this world, he just wanted to do an experiment in this world.

Now, he came to Tang Seng and his apprentices, not only to solve the trouble for the Ten Thousand Demon Queen, but also to make up for the calamity of Tang Seng and his apprentices.

……

At this time, the Tang monks and apprentices had already left Zhu Ziguo for a few days.

When he was in Zhu Ziguo, Sun Wukong put on the purple golden bell, he should have been controlled by the purple golden bell, but because Lu Fengqiu planted a seed of self-knowledge for him, he was not controlled by the purple golden bell, but handed over the purple golden bell to Guanyin very peacefully.

Along the way, they didn't encounter any accidents, and they saw that they were about to reach the range of the Great Lei Yin Temple.

At this time, Lu Fengqiu and the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons appeared in front of Tang Seng and his apprentices.

The sudden appearance of Lu Fengqiu and the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons made Tang Seng and his apprentices still startled.

However, compared to before, now Tang Seng and his apprentices have no ill will towards Lu Fengqiu and the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons.

Especially Sun Wukong went to live in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom for a few days, saw everything in Qingyun Mountain, and got Lu Fengqiu's enlightenment, and he has become very calm.

What Sun Wukong wants to do most now is to hurry up to the Da Lei Yin Temple, and then obtain the Mahayana scriptures and escort Tang Seng back to the Tang Dynasty, which can be regarded as his complete merit.

He can also travel the Three Realms with peace of mind, and go wherever he wants.

Tang Seng saw Lu Fengqiu and the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons appear, he was still so polite, he clasped his hands together towards the two of them, and said, "Amitabha, how could the gibbon donor and the Yungu donor appear here?" ”

Zhu Bajie didn't recognize life, and also stepped forward and said: "Yes, yes, didn't you go back to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom?" ”

Sun Wukong said: "Ah, gibbon, don't you want to tell me that you are taking your wife to play in the mountains and rivers." ”

Zhu Bajie looked envious and said, "I think it's true." ”

Sha Seng approached Zhu Bajie and said, "Second Senior Brother, when you become a Buddha, you can also swim with Sister Chang'e." ”

Zhu Bajie glared at Sha Seng angrily and said, "You are big!" ”

Sha Seng scratched his head, puzzled, and said: "Obviously, the second senior brother, you yourself said before, you said that when you become a Buddha, you will swim with Chang'e sister." ”

At this time, Lu Fengqiu took the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons and said to Tang Seng: "Sanzang, I'm here for you." ”

Tang Seng's face was quite calm, and he said: "The donor came to find the poor monk, I don't know what happened?" ”

Lu Fengqiu said: "Sanzang, you are not far from the Great Leiyin Temple. ”

When Tang Seng heard this, his face showed a little joy, and said, "Gibbon donor, is it true?" ”

Lu Fengqiu nodded and said, "If you continue to walk forward, you will arrive at the Great Lei Yin Temple in less than three days." ”

When Tang Seng heard this, he clasped his hands together and said with a sincere face: "Amitabha, thank you to the gibbon monkey donor for coming all the way to inform the poor monk." ”

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng were also very happy when they heard the news.

Sun Wukong said: "It's really good to finally go to the Great Leiyin Temple!" ”

Zhu Bajie smiled: "My old pig is going to become a Buddha!" ”

"Lao Sha, are you happy!"

Sha Seng said: "Second Senior Brother, I'm also very happy!" ”

At this time, Lu Fengqiu said: "Although the Great Leiyin Temple is very close to you, your Ninety-Nine Tribulation is not yet complete, and even if you go to the Great Leiyin Temple, you will not be able to obtain the Mahayana scriptures." ”

When Tang Seng heard this, the joy on his face receded a lot.

He looked at Lu Fengqiu and said, "What does the gibbon monkey donor mean is that there is still a calamity waiting for the poor monks and apprentices in front of this?" ”

Lu Fengqiu nodded and said, "This calamity originally existed, but because of my intervention, this calamity is gone." ”

When Tang Seng heard this, he said, "Then what should I do?" ”

Sun Wukong looked at Lu Fengqiu, he walked over and said, "Ah, gibbon, don't sell it, I know you must have something to say." ”

Lu Fengqiu said with a smile: "If you are not satisfied with the ninety-nine tribulations, you will not pass on the true scriptures to your master and apprentice." ”

"If you want to become a Buddha, you must completely survive this ninety-nine calamity."

Zhu Bajie screamed: "Ah, it's so miserable, what should I do?" ”

"Brother Monkey, why don't you find a few monsters to kidnap the master for a while, and then we can rescue the master, so it's okay."

Sun Wukong looked at Zhu Bajie and said, "Dead fat pig, where can you do such a thing." ”

Tang Seng said: "Since the poor monk embarked on the road to the west, he has only been bent on seeking the Mahayana scriptures. ”

"Now, the Great Lei Yin Temple is right in front of you, and you are going to go no matter what."

"Although the calamity of the Ninety-Nine is not yet complete, but the Buddha is merciful, and he should not be embarrassed by this poor monks and apprentices."

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "Sanzang, there is a definite number of things to learn from the scriptures, and this is not something that can be changed by the future. ”

"The ninety-nine tribulation must be consummated, this is the certainty of heaven."

Tang Seng said: "What is the good way for the gibbon monkey donor?" ”

Lu Fengqiu said: "I'm here to solve this problem for you." ”

Tang Seng was puzzled: "Oh? How does the gibbon monkey donor want to help the poor monks? ”

Lu Fengqiu said: "I want to invite the four of you masters and apprentices to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom as guests. ”

"What? Visiting the Land of Ten Thousand Demons? ”

When Zhu Bajie heard this, he was suddenly startled, he ran to Tang Seng's side, and whispered: "Master, you have to think twice, the Ten Thousand Demon Country is not a good place, there are monsters there." ”

"If you go to the Ten Thousand Demon Country, then you will be in the wolf pack."

Tang Seng's brows also frowned slightly, he wasn't worried that all the demon kingdoms were monsters, he was afraid that the monsters would eat him.

He was just worried that if he went to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, he would be farther away from the Great Leiyin Temple at that time, and if he delayed the day of learning the scriptures, it would not be good.

Sun Wukong on the side looked at Lu Fengqiu with a little suspicion, and said, "Hey, gibbon monkey, what the hell are you doing?" ”

"You invited our senior brother and master to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom as guests, is there any conspiracy?"

Lu Fengqiu said with a smile: "What conspiracy can I have, if I am not good for your master and apprentice, I would have already taken care of your master and apprentice as early as when I was in Xiaoleiyin Temple." ”

"Why bother talking to you here?"

Sun Wukong said: "Then why did you invite us to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom as guests, could it be that you were kind enough to help us complete the Ninety-Nine Tribulation?" ”

Lu Fengqiu said: "What, can't you?" ”

"Wukong, don't forget, what I said to you when you were on Qingyun Mountain."

Sun Wukong listened, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Okay, you won." ”

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "Actually, when I took you away, I also asked you to do me a small favor." ”

Sun Wukong said: "What's busy? ”

Lu Fengqiu sold it and said, "Don't worry, when you get to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, you will naturally know." ”

Lu Fengqiu looked at Tang Seng and said, "Sanzang, can you set off?" ”

When Tang Seng heard this, he folded his hands and said, "Since this is the case, then the poor monk will go with the benefactor." ”

Lu Fengqiu bowed slightly, and said: "The number of calamities is determined in days, but how the calamities change is determined by people." ”

"Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you."

When Tang Seng heard this, he had a humble smile on his face and said, "Gibbon donor, you don't need to explain more, the poor monk knows that you have no ill will towards the poor monk." ”

Lu Fengqiu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go." ”

When the words fell, Lu Fengqiu waved his hand and left here with Tang Seng and his apprentices.

In just a blink of an eye, Lu Fengqiu took Tang Seng and his apprentices to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

……

The immortal atmosphere on Qingyun Mountain surprised Tang monks and apprentices.

Sun Wukong has seen it before, and now he looks strange.

Tang Seng exclaimed: "I didn't expect that the dojo of the gibbon monkey benefactor would have such a fairy aura. ”

"The donor is really a true immortal who has attained enlightenment."

Zhu Bajie was stunned and said, "This is the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom?" ”

"The Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom is a place where the demons gather, how can there be no demonic aura at all, but it is so immortal, even compared to the heavenly court, it is no different."

"Gibbon monkey, my old pig is really convinced of your ability."

Sha Seng looked like a fool and said, "Wow, it's so beautiful here!" ”

Sun Wukong crossed his arms and made a look that I thought was very ordinary.

At this time, a divine light fell, but it was the dream demon who appeared not far away.

Seeing the Dream Demon appear, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng hurriedly moved a few steps back.

Zhu Bajie said: "Hey, hey, isn't this what kind of dream demon?" ”

Sun Wukong said with a disdainful face: "Dead fat pig, what are you trembling about, are you afraid that his idea of beating the master will not come true?" ”

I saw the dream demon step forward, bow towards Lu Fengqiu, and said, "Great King, the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth are already on standby in Fengtou Mountain according to your orders, as long as the Heavenly Court army shows up, Dingtian will be notified immediately." ”

Lu Fengqiu bowed slightly, said "um" lightly, and then said: "Okay, don't come to me these days, all the battles on the front line are up to you." ”

"I still say the same thing, as long as the army of Heavenly Court does not hit Qingyun Mountain, I will not make a move."

"This battle will be a battle for your prestige."

"It's not just Niu Dingtian who wants to make a name for himself in the Three Realms, you all have to make a name for yourself."

When the dream demon heard this, he immediately bowed down and said: "Please rest assured, the king, we will do our best to play the prestige of our and the prestige of the Qingyun Dojo, and we will definitely not fall into the majesty of the king." ”

"Hmm~~~ Let's go down."

Lu Fengqiu said "um".

The dream demon left in response, and he didn't look at Tang Seng and his apprentices.

The Dream Demon is no longer the Dream Demon of the past, he knows what to ask and what not to ask.

In the past, he wanted to eat Tang monk meat, because he thought that Tang monk meat could live forever.

But now, he doesn't need to eat Tang monk meat to live forever.

What's more, the king has already said it.

The human race is the darling of heaven and earth, although cannibalism can also increase a little bit of Taoism, but the disadvantages are far greater than the advantages, cannibalism is to be unable to live with their own Taoism.

If you want to become an immortal, you have to adapt to this.

The dream demon didn't know that this was just a lie made up by Lu Fengqiu, and although eating people was harmful, it would not affect becoming an immortal.

In this world, as long as you enter the eyes of the immortals and Buddhas in the heavenly court and the Buddha realm, you will eat people, and you can also become immortals and become Buddhas.

The most typical example is the sand monk, the first nine generations of Tang monk, all of whom he ate.

The man-eating mad demon sand monk strung the skull of the ninth generation of Tang Seng and put it around his neck, and he was not mixed with a golden Arhat.

Of course, even if the Dream Demon and the monsters of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom knew that this was a lie, they would not hesitate to obey the order, because only under Lu Fengqiu's teachings could they have a chance to obtain true immortality.

Tang Seng and his apprentices were secretly relieved to see that the dream demon turned a blind eye to them.

Especially Zhu Bajie, he has always been suspicious of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

For fear of coming to the Ten Thousand Demon Country, Tang Seng will be swallowed alive by monsters.

Now it seems that he is too careful.

Gibbons are indeed different, and the monsters of this ten thousand demon kingdom are obedient, and even big monsters like Dream Demons are obedient and obedient.

At this time, Sun Wukong asked Lu Fengqiu: "Ah, gibbon, what were you talking about with the Dream Demon just now, could it be that Heavenly Court and the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom clashed?" ”

Lu Fengqiu nodded and said, "That's true, just before you came to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, the 100,000 troops of Heavenly Court had just withdrawn. ”

When Tang Seng and his apprentices heard this, their faces all expressed surprise.

Tang Seng said: "Gibbon monkey donor, why did Heavenly Court send a large army to attack the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom? ”

Zhu Bajie said on the side: "Oh, Master, you don't know this, what about Heavenly Court, I have always regarded the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom as a thorn in the flesh, and it is normal for the Jade Emperor to send a large army to encircle and suppress the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom." ”

Sha Seng also said: "Yes, yes, since ancient times, immortals and demons have not stood apart, and it is very miserable to be a monster." ”

Sun Wukong said: "How is it, gibbon monkey, do you need my help?" ”

Lu Fengqiu smiled: "How do you want to help me?" ”

"Help me go out to fight the soldiers and horses of the Heavenly Court?"

Sun Wukong coughed twice, a little embarrassed, and said: "It's not good to fight and kill, my old Sun has a lot of friends in Heavenly Court, I can go and inquire about the news for you." ”

"Go and ask what's going on, and see if there's a way, let the Jade Emperor give an order, so that Heavenly Court will stop attacking the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom."

Lu Fengqiu looked at this Monkey King with a light smile and said, "Wukong, this is what I want you to do me a little favor." ”

Sun Wukong said: "You have helped my grandson so much, and my grandson should help you." ”

Lu Fengqiu said with a smile: "I don't need you to be a lobbyist, but I need you to go to Heaven to move the rescuers." ”

Sun Wukong was surprised: "Move the rescuers? What rescuers to move? ”

Lu Fengqiu said: "Now, your master and apprentice are in the tribulation, your master and junior brother have been caught by me and brought to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, shouldn't you go to the Immortal Buddha to help rescue you?" ”

Sun Wukong patted his head and said, "Yes, yes, you reminded you too right." ”

"My grandson has forgotten about this stubble."

"Then I'll go to Heaven and find the Jade Emperor to move the rescue soldiers."

Lu Fengqiu said: "Wait, you met the Jade Emperor, do you know what to say?" ”

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Of course I know, of course I say how miserable it is." ”

Lu Fengqiu lowered his hand, bowed his head slightly, and said: "Yes, it must be as miserable as possible, it is best to let the Jade Emperor send more people." ”

"By the way, Rulai is also in Heaven now, you should take it easy when you see him, don't accidentally reveal the bottom."

Sun Wukong is still very smart, knowing that Lu Fengqiu wants him to act in a play.

"Don't worry, my grandson still has some experience in this regard."

After that, Sun Wukong looked at Tang Seng and said, "Master, you are here for a few days, I will go to Heaven to move the rescue soldiers, and when we have passed this catastrophe, we can go to the Great Lei Yin Temple to get the Mahayana scriptures." ”

When Tang Seng heard this, he clasped his hands together and said, "Wukong, be careful all the way." ”

……

Sun Wukong left, and went to Heaven to find the Jade Emperor for help with the intention of acting.

Journey to the West is a face-saving project, and it can only be regarded as a small catastrophe in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

It's just that this world has expanded the catastrophe of Journey to the West.

Lu Fengqiu has always guessed that this world was evolved by Rulai or a certain Buddha of Buddhism, purely to absorb Buddhists and strengthen the power of Buddhism.

The answer should be revealed soon.

As long as the Jade Emperor and the Buddha appear at the same time, he should be able to see it clearly.

His stay in this world is neither long nor short, the incarnation of the gibbon monkey is just one of his countless incarnations, and he only chooses to awaken his self in this world in order to experience different lives and look at problems from different angles.

Transforming the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom is just a matter of hand.

When the Journey to the West is over, a little of his true nature should also return to his essence.

Sun Wukong went to Heaven, but Tang Seng was not worried at all.

He and Lu Fengqiu are also old acquaintances.

This trip was mutually beneficial, Lu Fengqiu completed the Ninety-Nine Tribulation for them, and they helped Lu Fengqiu pull a wave of hatred.

Let the Jade Emperor send troops to attack the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom again as soon as possible.

Lu Fengqiu's meaning was very clear, that is, he wanted to use the Heavenly Soldiers of the Heavenly Court to train the disciples of the Qingyun Dojo.

When the fight is almost over, the Jade Emperor and Rulai will naturally come forward to find him.

When the time comes, he will be able to see if this Jade Emperor and Rulai are wearing a pair of pants.

……

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng ate well, drank well, and lived beautifully in Qingyun Mountain.

Lu Fengqiu and Tang Seng were discussing Buddhism.

Lu Fengqiu said: "I do not reject cause and effect, in Buddhism, generosity, vows, forbearance, diligence, meditation, prajna, the practice of the six paramitas is based on the deep belief in cause and effect, but it is different from fate. ”

"What I reject is fate, this kind of fate that everything has been predestined for a long time."
