Chapter 228: Return
After cultivating the Dharma and enlightening the Tao, and practicing for countless years, what are the gods and demons seeking? It is nothing more than a carefree and transcendent worldly. But at what point can we be at ease and unfettered?
For ordinary people, that realm is immortals, Buddhas, demons, and all beings with high mana, but for these unfathomable powers, that realm is sacred, and only when they reach the realm of saints can they have a glimpse of the mountains and small mountains, and can they jump out of the chessboard of the Three Realms and become a chess player.
But are saints really that at ease?
This question you have to ask now to lead the Buddha, the introduction can paste your face, where is the slightest bit of freedom in the sage, there is a heavenly suppression, the Taoist ancestor Hongjun is in charge, and there are people of the same level eyeing him, his current situation has nothing to do with the leisure, only a dilemma, the difficult thing is to nod and admit defeat, the Buddha retreats, and from then on no longer slaughter the demon clan at will, and the effect of the eastward transmission of Buddhism will also be greatly weakened;
Ordinary people long for leisure, gods and demons long for freedom, and saints also desire to be free, but to what extent of cultivation can be obtained, no one will know, all the heavenly saints know that even if they are as high as the Taoist ancestor Hongjun, they cannot be detached.
It's easy to say, free and unrestrained, but there are countless powers up and down in these three realms, but none of them is detached.
The Buddha looked at the three figures in front of him with a sad expression, his heart was full of bitterness, and he said again: "The emperor really doesn't think about it anymore, as long as the emperor is willing to withdraw, the poor monk can promise to help the emperor three times in the future." ”
This condition is much more tempting than just now, just now it is a cause and effect, and now it is three shots, and the things that bother the saints to do it can be said to be very rare in the Three Realms, this promise to make three shots, I am afraid that there will be at least three tribulations, and the Buddha can only repay the Qing, which is a bloody capital.
Emperor Xudu couldn't help but move in his heart, but he was still ready to open his mouth to refuse, but before he opened his mouth to speak, the Styx Ancestor, who had been watching the conversation between the two, suddenly laughed, and said mockingly: "You old bald donkey, I think that Xudu is like you, with Nashlaozi Buddhism dragging him down, he is free and free, where is there anything to ask you to do?"
This is a fact, although the Emperor Xudu is nominally the lord of the underworld, but the authority of the underworld is basically in the hands of the Ten Palaces of Yama, as well as the help of the Bodhisattva and a group of witch people, and there is more peace Niangniang in charge, he actually has no burden and concern, not like the introduction and quasi-mention, to bother to take care of a large stall of Buddhism, to preach, to grab the territory of the three Qings, it can be described as hard work, hard work.
"Pick up the Buddha, my demon clan is not determined to embarrass your Buddhism, but you are too unscrupulous to do things, regard my demon clan as nothing, wanton slaughter, as long as you agree to my conditions today, I will immediately release Zhun Ti, those disciples and grandchildren of your lower realm will be safe and sound, as long as you don't move my demon clan, you pass on your Fa, take your scriptures, my demon clan will definitely not obstruct you!" Kong Xuan looked at the guide and said.
"Buddha, let's take a step back!" said Emperor Xudu.
These three saints only said one sentence each, and they didn't release any momentum oppression, nor did they reveal any innate spiritual treasures, but they were just three ordinary words, and the Buddha only felt as if he was frozen by the Dao Ancestor, and it was a little difficult to breathe.
Retreat, it's easy to say, but this retreat, after so many years of planning the great catastrophe of the journey to the west, and the spread of Buddhism to the east, the effect must be greatly reduced, that is the hard work of him and his junior brother Zhun Ti for so many years!
But what if you don't take this step back?
The three saints lay in front of him, and with his strength alone, he couldn't defeat them no matter what.
Heavenly Dao, Heavenly Dao, isn't it the holy position of Heaven, why did you want to make that Lich upheaval, breaking the rule that binds the gods and demons of the world that cannot be sanctified unless you are Hongmeng Purple Qi!
The Buddha shouted silently in his heart, but this kind of shouting had no effect on the situation on the field, he glanced at the three in front of him, his lips squirmed for a long time, and then said: "Let go of the junior brother first." ”
There are three saints sitting here, even if the two of them join forces, it is useless, and since Kong Xuan's five-color divine light can suppress the Buddha once, it must also be able to suppress him twice, so after listening to the words of the introduction, Kong Xuan didn't even hesitate, and with a flick of his sleeves, the Zhun Ti saint turned into a golden light and fell in front of him.
The big world of congenital yin and yang five qi converged, isolated from inside and outside, self-contained, Zhun Ti was suppressed by Kong Xuan, and he didn't know what was going on outside, as soon as he came out, he saw the lead, and his heart was happy, thinking that it was the lead that forced Kong Xuan to let him go, and immediately said loudly: "Senior brother, you are here, you and I quickly joined forces to suppress this evil ......"
Before he finished speaking, he turned his head and stretched out his hand to point at Kong Xuan, but suddenly saw the two familiar figures beside Kong Xuan, and couldn't help but be shocked, and then turned around and saw the sad look on his senior brother's face, where I don't know, this is obviously the demon clan invited reinforcements, and my senior brother is invincible, ready to retreat, and people will let themselves out.
"What's the matter, Zhun Ti Buddha wants to compete with me again?" Kong Xuan looked at Zhun Ti's face that had turned ugly from joy, and couldn't help but laugh.
Zhun Ti didn't pay attention to him anymore, but looked at the guide in a daze and said, "Senior brother, you want to ......"
There is no need to finish speaking, Zhun Ti and the introduction are brothers who have relied on each other for countless years, although they can't communicate with each other, but they are definitely very tacit, and then said: "It's the poor monk who lost his calculations, only thinking about the three who are not there, and he didn't want to be drilled into the basket, since he can't win today, he can only admit defeat." ”
Admit defeat!
Zhun Ti's eyes were full of unwillingness, but he glanced at the three people standing there, forcibly suppressed the resentment in his heart, unwilling to have any way, the general trend is like this, he can't help but give in.
He said: "Everything, everything, but the senior brother is in charge......
The guide shook his head, shouted the Buddha's name, and said to Kong: "The Buddhism has admitted defeat, and the poor monk has agreed to the conditions of the Taoist, but he still wants to release the scripture learner as soon as possible, so don't delay...... Huh?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly whispered, turned his head and looked in the direction of the Three Realms, not only him, but the other four saints present, as well as the rest of the saints of the Three Realms, all set their eyes on a certain place in the north of the North of the Netherworld, where the three strong and familiar aura was revealed.
Sanqing, back......
