Chapter 518: Buddha Gate, There Can Only Be One Voice; The emperor of Tianzhu Kingdom has died!
When Fahai received the Buddha's handwritten letter, his expression instantly became solemn. Is this really something that happened "in history"?
Whether it was the Heavenless Demon Ancestor or the Kuigang Law Ancestor, he didn't know anything.
It seems that the two worlds are indeed not the same.
The apparently calm Venerable Sanzang thanked Venerable Gaya, who had come to deliver the letter, and then asked Wujing to entertain him.
Wujing clasped his hands together: "Venerable, rest in this temple for a few days."
"No, the little monk has to go back to pay the decree to the Buddha." Jiaye did not stay long, and after seeing Master Sanzang accept the Buddha's handwriting, he was about to leave.
Wujing on the side was polite, and when he saw that he was leaving, he no longer stopped him, but instead took out a little yellow and white things from his arms, handed them to Jia Ye, and said with a smile: "The Venerable has come from a long way from Lingshan, these."
"Oops!"
Gaya retreated again and again, and said, "Don't harm me!" ”
At the same time, the heart said, this Sha Wujing, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, how can he have a bad stomach.
Isn't it just that I "made things difficult" for you when I learned the scriptures, and I still remember it to this day.
Not to mention that he is a Spirit Mountain Venerable who doesn't need these yellow and white goods at all, even if he does. He didn't dare to take it under the nose of Master Sanzang!
Gaye refused in his hand, and there was already wind under his feet, and he was unwilling to stay in this Great Mercy Temple for a while.
After Gaye left, Wujing looked at the master, he was curious. After all, after the master read the content of the handbook, the momentum on his body suddenly condensed, which could not help but make Wujing worried.
In today's Great Ci'en Temple, he is the only one left among the senior brothers.
The second senior brother is determined to taste the food of the Three Realms, and since the senior brother went to the Chaos Xuandu City, he has also packed his bags and traveled to the four continents.
The little white dragon decided to cross the little demons who were oppressed in the Three Realms.
Although Wujing also wanted to compile an encyclopedia that contained the entire Three Realms, because his Nine Realms could be assigned at will, the ontology naturally remained in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple.
"The news from the Buddha said that the demon world has changed, and the incarnation of the Jade Emperor has been assimilated by the will of the demon world, and now he calls himself Kuigang Dharma Ancestor, and he is going to Lingshan as a teacher."
Wujing knew that this matter was not trivial, and hurriedly asked, "Is there a disciple who can listen to it?" ”
"Don't let your guard down these days. The rest, I'll talk about it when I get back. ”
"Yes."
Outside Lingshan.
Fahai and the Bodhisattva arrived almost at the same time, and when they looked at each other, they knew each other's intentions.
The two sides were not surprised by each other's arrival, and after greeting each other, they entered the Lingshan together.
The monks on the road didn't know why these two came together, but whether it was Guanyin Bodhisattva or Master Sanzang, their status in Lingshan was not trivial, and all the monks naturally bowed and worshipped when they saw it.
When I arrived at the Daxiong Treasure Hall, I saw that in the entire hall, only the Buddha sat on the golden lotus in the middle, and there was no second person present.
Fahai paused slightly, and after the Bodhisattva stepped into the hall first, he was half a position behind and entered the hall together.
"Buddha."
The two of them clasped their hands together and performed a Buddha salute.
After the Buddha returned the salute, he said, "Please be seated." ”
"The catastrophe of the Three Realms is coming." The Buddha got straight to the point, "There is no one in the Three Realms who is incapable of staying out of the matter, and the two of you must prepare in advance in case the calamity comes. ”
There is no need for the Buddha to specifically remind him of this, the Bodhisattva and Fahai will naturally not underestimate this matter, and the catastrophe of heaven and earth that encompasses the entire Three Realms. The slightest carelessness may be the result of death, how dare they be careless?
Even if he is confident that he can survive the catastrophe, how about his disciples?
I don't know if Wukong left the Three Realms and went to chaos at this juncture, whether it was good or bad.
In the face of the upcoming catastrophe of heaven and earth, it is natural that you can deal with the past with a simple word, and the reason why Rulai invited the Bodhisattva and Sanzang is also because in his heart, Buddhism can really be trusted, or worthy of entrusting great things, that is, these two.
If it is said that the existence of the "Heavenless Demon Ancestor" is still in the original context of the Three Realms of time and space, but with the appearance of the "Kuigang Dharma Ancestor", it has completely exceeded all the expectations of the Buddha before the chaos of the Heavenly Machine.
"The rift between the Demon Realm and the Three Realms has probably been completely sealed at this moment." If the Buddha's face was calm, although things were unexpected, it was not enough to make him lose his proportions.
The Bodhisattva thought for a moment and said, "Then. . Is the period of the fusion of the Demon Realm and the Three Realms still three hundred years? ”
"This is the general trend of the Heavenly Dao, and it cannot be violated by manpower."
Fahai clasped his hands together: "So to speak. There are still 300 years of tranquility in the Three Realms. ”
"That being said, if we really just enjoy these three hundred years of peace. I'm afraid that when the catastrophe ends, I can only be caught. The Bodhisattva looked at the Buddha with a solemn expression and said, "You can't always sit still. Buddha, although when the great tribulation comes, you will be reincarnated in the mortal tribulation, but in the past three hundred years. Is there something that should be done as well? ”
At this time, the Bodhisattva can't take care of the fight, and besides, she and the Buddha are already peers, so there is something to say at this time, everything is based on efficiency.
The Buddha sat on the golden lotus, and his heart turned to the sky: "If we want to survive the catastrophe, we must work hard to unite the Buddha, and there can only be one voice." ”
And then.
The Buddha and the Bodhisattva focused their attention on Master Sanzang.
Fahai:.
What do you mean?
What do you see me doing?
The two of you singing and harmonizing are you going to add a burden to the poor monks?
Compared with the Buddhist gate with "mountains and mountains", the situation in the heavenly court is much better.
After all, there is the existence of the god list, and the Jade Emperor and Yang Jian are red and white-faced with each other, so it is much easier to coordinate than Buddhism.
Three hundred years is not a long time, but it is not a short time. Insiders have naturally prepared early, as for those who don't know, it will be a day by day, after all, the catastrophe of the Journey to the West has just ended, how can they expect that three hundred years later, there will be an even greater catastrophe?
If it is said that the existence of the Heavenless Demon Ancestor is no longer a secret. In addition, everyone tacitly acknowledges that this Heavenless Demon Ancestor is aimed at Lingshan, and the immortals on this side of the Heavenly Court are more or less in the mind of watching the excitement, where is there any vigilance?
As for Kuigang Dharma Ancestor, whether it was the Jade Emperor or the Buddha, they all controlled this news within a very small range, and did not let this news spread wildly in the Three Realms.
Let those who should know know, and that's it.
Otherwise, if this kind of news spreads and is used by people with ill intentions, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary twists and turns, and even cause chaos in the Three Realms in advance.
The seemingly calm Three Realms are surging with undercurrents.
And when Fahai returned to Chang'an from Lingshan for less than a month, he heard a bad news.
"The emperor of Tianzhu Kingdom has died."
After Li Shimin received the news, he came to the Great Ci'en Temple as soon as possible.
Although when Li Shimin learned that the emperor of Tianzhu wanted to forcibly leave his royal brother as a concubine, he wanted to send troops to Tianzhu several times. But later I learned that this emperor was also a hero, and I felt a little sorry for him, but unfortunately I couldn't see him.
"How is that possible?"
Fahai frowned in one place, "Although I saw that the luck of the Tianzhu Kingdom was unstable before, when the poor monk was still doing the uncovered conference in the Tianzhu Kingdom last year, he saw that the Tianzhu Emperor was in good health and had no desperation. How could he die suddenly? ”
"What does the royal brother mean that there is something else in this?"
Fahai pondered for a moment and decided to tell Li Shimin about the catastrophe of heaven and earth three hundred years later.
But just as he was about to speak, Fahai suddenly thought of something, in the world he was in, the Tang Dynasty was founded and proclaimed emperor in the first year of Wude by Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan, until the fourth year of Emperor Tianqi of Tang Ai, Zhu Wen usurped the throne, and the Tang Dynasty perished. It seems that it is also the national fortune of nearly 300.
Wasn't that period of time another turbulent era in the Central Plains and warlords fighting?
But even before that, it seems that within the Tang Dynasty, it is far from stable.
Seeing that the royal brother wanted to speak and stopped, Li Shimin did not urge, but just waited on the side.
"Amitabha." Fahai clasped his hands together and said to Li Shimin: "A month ago, the poor monk went to Lingshan, but he was invited by the Buddha to learn that there would be a catastrophe in the Three Realms, and discussed the way to deal with it. ”
"It's only been less than a month, and Emperor Tianzhu died for no reason." Fahai pondered for a moment and said to Li Shimin: "There may be some connection between the two. ”
"But Tianzhu Kingdom is at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, could it be that Emperor Tianzhu was plotted by someone, and the Buddhism will not be sensed?"
"That's the problem." Fahai was also a little helpless, "Not to mention the difference between the idea of escaping the world of Buddhism in Xizhou and the teachings of poor monks, only that Emperor Tianzhu was born to dislike Buddhism, and even wanted to carry out Buddhist reform in China for a time."
At this point, it's very clear.
With Li Shimin's ingenuity, it is naturally not difficult to analyze the key to it, Emperor Tianzhu is going to attack Buddhism, and it is already good that Buddhism does not take the initiative to attack Emperor Tianzhu.
In other words, the death of Emperor Tianzhu is likely to be a secret action by someone in the Buddhist sect.
"The Buddhism of Xizhou can't afford such cause and effect." Li Shimin's thoughts, Fahai can also guess a thing or two, "They may sit idly by when Emperor Tianzhu is in danger, or even secretly contribute to the trouble, but they will never dare to take the initiative. Tianzhu is not an ordinary small country after all. ”
"Besides, an emperor is disgusted with Buddhism, and for Buddhism, it is at most a few decades, as far as the poor monks know. The prince of Tianzhu is very close to Buddhism. ”
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, in the long run, there is really no need for Buddhism to take such a risky move. But this possibility cannot be completely ruled out."
"It's nature."
"Emperor Tianzhu died, and the Tang Dynasty, as an ally, sent a messenger to mourn. I want Wang Xuance to send Tianzhu as an envoy, and besides, he has always been shrewd, and he can also secretly probe the truth about Emperor Tianzhu's death. ”
"It's a pity that Wukong went to Xuandu City, otherwise he could have gone with him."
Fahai did not mean to leave Chang'an, after the death of Emperor Tianzhu, Li Shimin did not dare to let the royal brother leave If it was just Buddhism, it would be fine, but if it was really because of the "Heaven and Earth Tribulation", Li Shimin felt that it would be safer to leave the imperial brother in Chang'an.
Fahai also thought the same way, so he only went to Wujing on his behalf, and at the same time asked him to assist Wang Xuance in secret.
Although Wang Xuance's strength is extraordinary, he is a mortal after all, and when facing those immortal methods, it is inevitable that he will be a little overstretched and have Wujing on the side to deal with it, even if he encounters any danger, he can be a little more calm.
The death of Emperor Tianzhu still caused a lot of turmoil among the countries of Xizhou. Although the truth of the matter is unknown, everyone still took corresponding precautions based on their own guesses.
In particular, the king of Zhu Ziguo created a golden body of "Sanzang Holy Rulai" overnight, put it in his bedroom, and worshiped it day and night.
Although Fahai sensed this, it did not prevent him from acting like this Emperor Tianzhu's death, which made him very concerned, after all, it was also considered to be a fate back then, and some of the methods of Buddhist reform were actually from his own mouth, if he really died because of this, this cause and effect Fahai would naturally follow.
It is necessary to seek justice for this majesty.
If the Xizhou Buddhism really dared not believe in Buddhism because of the king of a country, he would do the thing of killing the king, and Fahai would not mind responding to the Buddha's request, so that the Three Realms Buddhism would have only one voice.
Underworld.
"Holy Buddha!"
The big and small ghosts of Yin Si wanted to come forward and get close, but they were afraid of being hurt by the Buddha light of Master Sanzang, so they had to visit them from afar.
The Ten Palaces Yama and the major judges hurriedly came to greet them, and after seeing Master Sanzang, they bowed down and saluted: "I'll wait to meet Sanzang Shengrulai." ”
It's no wonder that these yin gods "grovel", but when facing Master Sanzang, the pressure is too great, and today's Master Sanzang proves himself to be the holy Buddha of Sanzang Holy Rulai, and he is the leader of the "Wisdom Teachings", and his status in the Three Realms is actually equivalent to that of Buddha and Bodhisattva.
"I don't know if the Holy Buddha came to my Yin Division today, but what's the matter?"
Generally speaking, Master Sanzang has gone to the underworld several times before, and he has gone directly to Yin Mountain to meet the King of the Earth Bodhisattva, and now he has come directly to Yin Si, and several of them are also a little surprised. But it can only be treated with caution first.
That is to say, Master Sanzang's reputation has always been strong in the Three Realms, otherwise it will cause some panic.
"I heard that Emperor Tianzhu died, and the poor monk had a few encounters with him, so I came to see him off."
Instead of going to Tianzhu, it is better to come directly to the underworld.
"Quick!" King Qin Guang directly said to the major judges around him: "Invite His Majesty Tianzhu Kingdom into the main hall to meet you." ”
"Holy Buddha, please."
Standing outside the Ghost Gate, after all, it is not an individual system, and King Qin Guang, as the head of the Ten Halls of Yama, invited Master Sanzang to come in to speak, which was also to test Master Sanzang's attitude.
"Good."
Seeing that Master Sanzang agreed, and his tone was calm, he knew that Master Sanzang was here today, and he should just come to send off the deceased, so he put down the heart he had originally carried.
After entering the Hades Hall and inviting Master Sanzang to take a seat, he saw several ordinary little judges sweating profusely, looking flustered, his eyes dodging, and he didn't dare to look at Master Sanzang at all.
