"Senior, what happened back then?" Shen Luo pondered for a long time and asked.

"What are you referring to? is it the outbreak of the demonic calamity, or the destruction of the heavenly court...... At the end of the day, it's just one thing. Li Jing was halfway through his words, paused slightly, and said with a wry smile.

"Then please ask my seniors to tell me the details of the demon disaster that year. Shen Luo frowned and said.

Regarding the Demon Calamity, he now knows very limited, and more of it is the legend that has not yet come true in reality, if he can really know the details of the Demon Calamity in advance, maybe he will be able to stop it after returning to reality.

Thinking about it like this, Shen Luo himself also had some belief that the person who the Tota Heavenly King Divine Soul was waiting for was him.

"My memory is broken, and I can only tell you some things I know, as for the truth behind it, you need to explore and piece it together yourself. Li Jing groaned slightly and spoke.

"Senior, but it doesn't hurt to say. Shen Luo said busily.

"In ancient times, a great war that swept the Three Realms came to an end, and the lord of the demon race, Chi You, was defeated, his head was cut off, his limbs were cut off, and the demon soul was sealed, and since then the Three Realms have spent a period of relatively stable years. However, the heart of the demons and the Three Realms is never dead, and there are even some demons who try to break the seal and lead Chi You to reappear in the world. Li Jing said.

Shen Luo knew some of these things, but he didn't interrupt Li Jing and let him continue.

"Later, the heavens and the earth began to move, the leylines of the earth were no longer stable, demons were rampant everywhere in the world, and the chaos of the Three Realms began. Whether it is the gods and Buddhas of the heavenly court, or the power of the earthly realm, they all sense that the wind and rain are coming. Heavenly Court felt that the demon tribulation started from the demon clan, and it should be solved from the demon clan, so the Jade Emperor and the Western Heaven Buddha Rulai joined forces to formulate a spiritual mountain plan. Li Jing continued.

"Lingshan Project?" Shen Luo was puzzled in his heart.

"You must know the Lingshan Project back then, but it had to be renamed differently, called 'Learning from the West'. Seeing that Shen Luo's expression was different, Li Jing's eyes were slightly gloomy and he said.

"What? Master Xuanzang's journey to the west to learn scriptures was the Lingshan Project?" Shen Luo's expression changed suddenly, and he exclaimed.

This matter has been widely circulated among the people, and even some people have already written this legendary experience into a book, so the story of Shen Luo's five masters and apprentices who have gone through hardships and sought the true scriptures is not unfamiliar at all.

It's just that for some reason, after the five of them returned to Chang'an, they only held an unprecedented and huge water and land conference in the Great Ci'en Temple in the city, and then Master Sanzang announced that he would enter the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to translate the scriptures? Since then, he has rarely been seen again.

The three apprentices with great powers who were rumored to be his also disappeared? is no longer known to the world, so that many people later regarded that epic experience as a literati fabrication? How much of it is true is up for debate.

"You don't know this? It's also normal. The Lingshan Project of the year? From the beginning of its formulation, it is a secret of the heavenly realm, and there are very few people who know the inside story, including the Jade Emperor, the Buddha, and the Taishang Laojun? Guanyin Bodhisattva? Maitreya Buddha and Bodhi Ancestor included? The total number does not exceed ten. Even the five masters and apprentices themselves? I didn't know it at first. Li Jing continued.

"If it's so secretive, could it be the real purpose of their group? Not seeking the true scriptures?" Shen Luo frowned.

"It can only be said that it is not exactly, after all, at that time, within the border of the Tang Dynasty, the demonic things became more and more intense? The human heart and the world are also gradually deteriorating, and people need to be tempered by Mahayana Buddhism. After all, a person's mood changes into people's hearts, a country's mood changes into people's harmony, and a person's mood changes is the heavenly fortune. If the general trend is good, then the turbidity of heaven and earth can be eliminated, and the catastrophe can be turned into invisible. Li Jing shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Shen Luo sighed in his heart, in the era he lived in, Mahayana Buddhism had been spread in the Tang Dynasty, Buddhist monasteries had been built, and monks were also walking and preaching in the world, but this demonic thing was still intensifying.

"Relying on the Dharma...... Don't talk about how much time it will take, just talk about how difficult it is for people in the world to learn the Dharma and worship the Buddha?" he couldn't help but speak.

"Therefore, this is only one part of the Lingshan plan, and the other part is to release the rumors, saying that if you eat the flesh of Tang Sanzang, you can take immortality and cultivation supreme mana. Use this as bait to lure those demons who are sneaky and lurking in the shadows, so as to catch them all and cut off the risk of catastrophe. Li Jing continued.

"Good means, not to mention how many hidden demons were seduced and finally ambushed one by one, just the fact that the demon king of Sun Wukong's generation was returned to Buddhism was already a beautiful start. Shen Luo couldn't help but admire.

"It's not as simple as you seem. The fight to defeat the Buddha was originally transformed by the colorful divine stones left by Nuwa's refining stone to mend the sky, and it was not a demon clan in the real sense. Li Jing shook his head and said.

"Could it be that Sun Wukong was originally arranged by the Heavenly Realm?" Shen Luo faintly guessed something.

"Otherwise, how could he get the favor of the Bodhi Ancestor and personally teach the Xuangong changes? Do you think that Tang Sanzang is the only one who learns the scriptures? In fact, Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng, Sha Wujing and Bailongma, they are all scriptures learners, and each of them is an arrangement set by Heaven and Lingshan. Li Jing smiled and said.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Shen Luo's mind, recalling all the hardships on the road to learn the scriptures in the legend, and doubts rose in his heart:

"However, many of the demons they encountered on the way of their master and apprentice to learn the scriptures were all incarnated by the gods and Buddhas, why is this?"

"While Heavenly Court and Lingshan led the demons to stop and kill them by learning scriptures, they also divided them to a certain extent, so why didn't the demons have the means to target Heavenly Court and Lingshan? They were also actively bewitching the Heavenly Immortals and the Western Heavenly Buddhas. Many people who are not strong in the Dao heart, and those who are dissatisfied with the principles of the Heavenly Dao, also revealed their true colors at this time. Li Jing explained.

"I see. This method is already quite powerful, but why did it fail in the end?" Shen Luo suddenly realized, and asked again puzzled.

"This ...... I'm afraid no one can say clearly, only that there are days in the dark. Six or seven years after the return of the Tang monks and apprentices, including Zhen Yuanzi and Bodhi Ancestor, they all found that the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures had failed to transform the world, and the situation of turbidity raging between heaven and earth still could not be changed, and the Lingshan project was declared a failure. At this point, something else happened, and the situation got worse. Li Jing sighed and said.

"What happened?" Hearing him say this, Shen Luo's spirit also became nervous.
