"Son, help my mother up."

Fei Changfang did as he said, and after helping his mother up, he saw that his mother seemed to be going out, so he hurriedly supported him and asked, "Mother, what are you going to do here?" ”

"Go to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple to recite scriptures and pray for you."

Followers of the Buddha of Fei Mu.

When Venerable Sanzang had not yet returned from studying the scriptures, she had already begun to study the scriptures, and although they were all Hinayana Buddhism, she was also a layman who practiced at home.

Fei Mu is a Buddha and is very religious.

Even in order to pray for Master Sanzang to have a safe journey on the way to the scriptures, she also went to the Hall of the Ten Kings in three steps on the Buddha's birthday, praying that the Bodhisattva would bless the holy monks of Sanzang to obtain the scriptures.

When Master Sanzang returned from studying the scriptures, Fei's mother also went to repay her vows.

It was Fei Changfang who felt sorry for his mother's age, so he took three steps and one bow on behalf of his parents and went to the Ten Kings Hall to make a vow. It was also at that time that Xue Rengui met Fei Changfang and decided to take him as an apprentice.

And Fei Changfang's filial piety was also spread in Chang'an.

A simple and filial person like him will naturally be loved and supported by the people of Chang'an, and who would not want to see a sunny boy who is filial to his mother?

Even if he is an impatient, in the eyes of the people of Chang'an, it is his most sincere side.

Since Master Sanzang returned from learning the scriptures and established the teachings of wisdom in the Great Ci'en Temple in Chang'an, this Fei Mu often went to the Daci'en Temple to listen to the scriptures, Fahai is by no means the kind of monk who is high above and does not enter the mortal world.

Unless it was a retreat, on the third, sixth, and ninth days of every month, he would open the altar and give lectures. The rest of the time, it is Wujing and the rest of the monks in the temple to open the altar.

Although Fei's mother is older, she has been listening to the scriptures in the Great Ci'en Temple for a long time, and has been baptized by the Buddha's light, and her body and bones have become more and more healthy and tough. As long as there is nothing to do, even if it is not the day of the Sanzang Holy Buddha's lectures, she will go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the Great Ci'en Temple to read the scriptures.

There is no threshold in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, but anyone who is sincere to the Buddha can get something in the temple, which is by no means false.

Although Fei Changfang's mind is not on seeking immortals, he will still maintain the greatest respect for the real immortal Buddhas, especially the Sanzang Holy Buddha sitting in Chang'an.

Seeing that my mother was going to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, I prayed for my "expedition". Although Fei Changfang didn't think there was a need to make such a fuss, after all, it was his mother's intention, even if he didn't allow it. After he pulls out the camp, can he still stop her?

So he had no choice but to agree, and said to his mother: "Mother, the child will go with you, the child is also in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple today, and he will go directly to the barracks tomorrow morning." ”

"Nope."

Fei Mu immediately sank her face, "You are full of fierce blood, it's better not to go, beware of defiling the Buddha Hall." ”

Fei Chang Room:

Mother, what is this little bit of blood on your son's body? Compared to the Three Tibetan Holy Buddhas, it is simply a small thing, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

Besides, Master and his old man have countless souls, so don't they also haunt the Great Mercy and Grace Temple as usual?

I didn't hear it would defile the temple.

When Fei Changfang was muttering in his heart, he heard Fei Mu say: "Your expedition is imminent, and the Buddha light of the Holy Buddha will suppress your evil energy. When you return triumphantly, then go to the Great Ci'en Temple to listen to the scriptures, and use Buddhism to resolve the grievances and evil spirits in your body, which is the right way. ”

Fei Changfang suddenly cried and laughed when he heard this, and said in his heart: Say that you are an old man, but it is difficult to say that you are not for your son now, you are "calculating" the Holy Buddha.

But if you want to say that you are always disrespectful to the Holy Buddha, then you can't beat it with eight poles.

It can only be said that this is the pragmatism that belongs only to the Chinese people, after all, in this one-third of an acre, the reputation of the idle god is not raised, and it is also famous far and wide.

Now, with the recovery of the power of the human bloodline and the rise of the national power of the Tang Dynasty. It has already made those gods in the territory of Datang more and more vigilant.

According to reports, the Dragon King Temple in several counties has been smashed.

After the report of the bad people under Yuan Tiangang, I learned that the dragon kings enshrined in the Dragon King Temple were not serious gods at all, and even many of them were some river spirits who were pretending to be dragon kings to accept sacrifices.

After all, not all rivers and lakes have dragon kings.

But because the limelight has been so tight lately, these spirits have long since run away

Some are the god of water canonized by the heavenly court, or the god of incense and fire enshrined by the human dynasty. In such a place, worshipping the Dragon King Temple is naturally not spiritual.

What's more, even if there is really a dragon king in charge, they don't dare to do the rain without permission, after all, the lesson of the Jinghe Dragon King is still in front of them.

But Yang Jian gave them a way that was not a solution, when the land under their jurisdiction was indeed dry and short of water, and there was no rain document from the Heavenly Court or the Thunder Mansion, they could sneeze a few times in the sky or wail twice as appropriate.

In this way, there is rain in the mortal world, and the dragon kings are not considered to have violated the rules of heaven.

At first, some dragon kings didn't take Erlang Zhenjun's words seriously, and even if there was a drought in the jurisdiction, they still ignored it.

But soon, they were summoned by the True Monarch Temple on charges of dereliction of duty, and after they returned to the jurisdiction, it was called a smooth wind, and they didn't dare to slack off at all.

Fei Changfang's departure from Chang'an this time, in fact, it is clear that he is going to earn credit, after all, in the current Tang Dynasty, if the officers want to make meritorious contributions, they can also focus on those mountain bandits, and for the most elite Xuanjia Army, their target is always those demons hidden in the mountains.

Or rather, these mountain spirits are just the enemy they have to face at the moment. As for who their opponents will be in the future, Zhenguan Emperor Li Shimin and Tang Dynasty God of War Xue Rengui are actually all aiming for the immortals and Buddhas in the eastern and western states, and including the heavenly soldiers and generals who are not limited to the heavenly court.

If the human race wants to develop, it must touch the interests of the immortals and Buddhas of the east and west continents, as for the gods of the heavenly court, although it seems that they are now on the side of the human race, but in fact, the Jade Emperor of the heavenly court is the real master of the Three Realms. As the son of heaven in the world and bent on becoming the king of people, Li Shimin actually didn't think that the Jade Emperor would always sit idly by.

Li Shimin even doubted that the reason why the Jade Emperor supported the human race. It is to achieve a three-way balance in the Nether.

Buddha, immortals, and people, under the mutual check and balance, then the heavenly court sits on the top of the nine heavens, and it seems that it can sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

As for the demon clan in Beiju Luzhou, they have obviously become outcasts. Today's general trend must also let them make a choice and throw themselves on the side of the Buddha, the immortals and the human race. It's obviously not that easy to be alone.

Even if they don't make their own choices, they may not be able to avoid a partition in the future.

Don't look at the current Lingshan is empty, but as the size of the Buddhist court, it is not something that can be shaken by the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and those who come to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple to listen to the scriptures are also some Arhat monks. It seems that those bodhisattvas and Buddhas will not easily state their position.

And the current Lingshan actually does not represent the entire Buddhism.

In the case of the Buddha's intention to delegate power, the major popes of Buddhism actually have a certain right to speak. Even the Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South China Sea has independently emerged from the Lingshan Mountain and officially established the South China Sea Buddha Domain.

Not to mention the expanding Esoteric Buddhism, as well as the two major Buddhist Pure Lands of Maitreya and Liuli.

The Buddhism in Xizhou is not united, and the immortal sects in Dongzhou are actually not clean of the filth between them, and the relationship is much longer than that of Buddhism.

Even among many immortal sects, they are all life and death enemies who are different from each other as soon as they meet.

The cruelty of the immortal cultivation world is actually far worse than that of the human world. After all, since the beginning of the world, the resources of cultivation have been constantly consumed, and more importantly, the speed of resource cultivation is far less than the progress of consumption, which also leads to the fact that today's cultivation world cannot relax in the competition for cultivation resources.

Otherwise, if the opponent advances and he is still standing still, it will undoubtedly be self-defeating.

Immortals who are at the top of the Three Realms are naturally able to be at ease, but those disciples of the middle and lower levels, if they don't "roll" up, then they will easily be eliminated by the generations.

If you are content with the status quo, you can naturally enjoy life. On the contrary, if you want to forge ahead, you can only break through in the Three Realms.

Beiju Luzhou.

After making a choice, the Bat Ancestor finally decided to take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn over in his own hands.

As for whether it can be done, let's not talk about it for the time being, if you keep hiding in the cave, you can obviously only sit and wait for death. Just as he listened to Qingniu's words and wanted to backstab Zhang Guolao, he had to take action, otherwise everything would be useless.

In fact, there is another reason for the bat ancestor to go out.

That is today's Beiju Luzhou, which is no longer the chaotic situation of the past, under the leadership of Fuxian Bodhisattva, and with the assistance of the Black Dragon Pond Demon Alliance, Beiju Luzhou seems to be establishing a new form of order, which makes Bat Ancestor feel very uncomfortable.

In fact, it's not just the bat ancestor, how can the demons of the northern club Luzhou, who have always been used to being wanton, simply obey the control... If it weren't for the three mountains of the Three Tibetan Holy Buddhas, Erlang Zhenjun and Puxian Bodhisattva pressing on their heads. What kind of Black Dragon Pond group of demons will be in the alliance, I am afraid that the drama of the group of demons encircling and suppressing the Black Dragon Pond will be staged directly, and at the very least, this Ao Rong, who is obviously the second prince of the Dragon Clan in the West Sea, but came to Beiju Luzhou to fight against the demon clan, will be driven back to the West Sea.

However, bullying the weak and fearing the hard has always been the true nature of the demon race, so they are naturally willing to surrender to the strong, and they switch between camps, and there is no psychological burden, and they think it is a very common thing.

The demon clan has always agreed with a saying among the human race - those who know the times are handsome.

Therefore, whether the demon clan takes refuge in immortals, Buddhas, or humans, it is an easy decision to make.

In such a situation, if the Bat Ancestor wants to fish in the troubled waters of Beiju Luzhou, it is obviously becoming more and more difficult, and it can't follow the example of the year again, and the clan has joined the three families, right?

In fact, with the talent of the bat clan, no matter which side you join, the treatment will not be too bad.

But the bad thing is the reputation of the bat clan, as early as ancient times, it has been broken by the bat ancestor himself, and now it is obviously not so easy to repair the prejudice of the three realms against them.

This is one of the reasons why the Bat Ancestor always acts carefully.

After all, if you are not careful, you will be caught by someone, although now that the three clans of the dragon and phoenix and the unicorn have withdrawn from the Three Realms, each of them has fallen to the skills of the Bat Ancestor, in fact, there is no need to act so secretly, but after all, it is a matter of habit, coupled with the innate hostility of the various clans towards the bat clan, so he has no choice but to support such a habit that has almost become instinctive.

The Bat Ancestor is still day and night, wanting to infiltrate the Tang Dynasty.

Yuan Tiangang, who entered Beiju Luzhou, also walked day and night, looking for the habitat of the bat ancestor in Beiju Luzhou.

Zhang Guolao did not reveal the location of the bat cave of the bat ancestor to the Sanzang Holy Buddha and Emperor Zhenguan. In addition, the Sanzang Holy Buddha and Emperor Zhenguan did not ask Zhang Guolao about this matter.

Moreover, when Yuan Tiangang, who took the initiative to invite Ying, left Chang'an, he did not ask Zhang Guolao about the Bat Ancestor.

Yuan Tiangang is undoubtedly a very cautious figure, although His Majesty and the Holy Buddha have a lot of trust in Zhang Guolao. But he still retains a little vigilance against Zhang Guolao.

It's not that he deliberately targets Zhang Guolao, but that he is like this by nature. And I like to prepare one or more response plans before something happens.

In his plan, he even included the emergency plan after the "Sanzang Holy Buddha" and the "Zhenguan Emperor" turned against each other.

There are many such "plans", but how many there are, perhaps only Yuan Tiangang himself knows.

Li Shimin even suspected that Yuan Tiangang, an old boy, even prevented him, the "Emperor", from rebelling against the Tang Dynasty one day

Like Bat Ancestor, Yuan Tiangang is also a guy who only trusts himself to a certain extent. And he didn't think that he had gone out in person, and he couldn't find the hiding place of the Bat Ancestor.

It turns out.

Yuan Tiangang's ability is genuine.

He did find the Bat Ancestor's Bat Cave, but he was still a step too late after all, and when he grabbed a tongue and listened to the news of the Bat Ancestor, he learned that the Bat Ancestor had left the cave two days ago and headed south.

As for where they were going, they didn't know.

Syllable!

Yuan Tiangang's right fist smashed hard into his left palm, and it really made him very unwilling to miss it like this. But he thought about it, this time it can't be in vain, although the bat ancestor is not in the cave, but the bat demon in this cave. Then don't blame him, Yuan Tiangang made the first move.

Bat Ancestor naturally didn't know that he just wanted to go to Datang to backstab Zhang Guolao, so he was stolen by someone when he left the cave mansion three days before he got home. By the time he got the news, it was obvious that there was no turning back.

This news was not brought by others, it was the mortal Qingniu who stopped the bat ancestor when he was about to cross the Beiju Luzhou and enter the territory of the Datang in the Southern Ganbu Continent, and told him the news that made him sad and angry.

At this moment, the bat ancestor, who has no way back, seems to have to pin his hopes on Zhang Guolao and make a desperate bet.
