274, Journey to the West "Nine Quests"
Xundaozi said: "What are you making a fuss about?" and the disciples were so frightened that they quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Xundaozi waved his hand and said: "Get up and speak, I don't blame you, I just heard you arguing, I just want to know what you are arguing about!"
Everyone looked up and saw that there was no anger on Xundaozi's face, so they got up and sat down next to Xundaozi's motion, and several strange beasts also squatted on the side.
Everyone sat down, and the seeker took a sip of the teacup, put it down, and said, "Who of you can tell me what you are arguing about?"
Disciples, you look at me, I look at you, I saw Sun Wukong's eyes roll, stood up, walked to the old stump coffee table, picked up the plate of pine nuts that were as warm as jade, respectfully sent them to the front of the Taoist, and said with a smile: "Master! Master eats a few pine nuts first, and the disciple is talking carefully for the master!"
Xundaozi looked at Sun Wukong with a flattering smile on his face, and didn't know what this guy wanted to make trouble, so he quietly picked up a few pine nuts and put them in his mouth, chewed them slowly, and suddenly his mouth was full of fragrance.
Sun Wukong respectfully sent the jade plate to Su Xin, and said: "Uncle, please try it! This is the pine cone carefully selected by the disciple for hundreds of years, and today the master and uncle are back, and the disciple has taken the best pine kernel to honor the master and uncle!"
Su Xin looked at Sun Wukong's flattering appearance, held back a smile in his heart, lightly grabbed a pine nut, put it in his mouth, chewed it slightly, and said: "It's really good!"
When Sun Wukong heard this, his face was full of smiles. On the side, he said: "I have eaten the pine nuts, you monkey can say anything!"
Sun Wukong scratched his head, smiled and said, "Master." The disciples were just now scrambling to set up a calamity for the monk who was traveling west to learn scriptures! Senior Brother couldn't decide who would go. Hence the noise. Disturb Master! Master, this is a calamity for the people who travel west to learn scriptures from Buddhism, so let the disciple go! The disciple has learned some skills with the master, and let the disciple go, thinking that the master will make a name for himself! Master, let the disciple go!" The sneer on his face made the seeker feel a chill.
Xundaozi turned his gaze from the smiling Sun Wukong to Liu Ling, and said, "Liu Ling." Tell me what's going on!"
Liu Ling got up and bowed down and was about to speak, when Xundaozi had already spoken: "Sit down and say!"
Liu Ling bowed, sat down according to his words, and said: "Back to Master, Buddhism started the second step of the so-called 'Buddhism to the East', and sent people from Dongtu Nanzhan Buzhou to Naxi Niuhezhou Da Lei Yin Temple to obtain the true scriptures, in order to show that his true scriptures are not easy to obtain, so he has to trek through mountains and rivers on a long road, and experience wind, rain, heat, and cold. Sharpen the one who learns the scriptures.
Buddhism found Uncle Guangchengzi to discuss the matter, and it happened that Uncle Antarctica found that there was a catastrophe between heaven and earth. Convene all the uncles of the Taoist sect to discuss at the Kunlun Mountain Dojo of Shizu. The disciples also respected the orders of the uncle of Antarctica and went to the ancestral dojo of Kunlun Mountain to listen to the decisions of the uncles.
After all the uncles and the elders of the burning lamp tried their best to figure out the matter of the catastrophe, Uncle Guangchengzi put forward the matter of the Buddha's desire to invite the Taoist sect to participate in setting up the catastrophe, and asked everyone to discuss and make a decision in order to act. After the uncles discussed, it was decided that my Daomen would set up a total of nine calamities for the people who learned the scriptures in Xiniuhezhou, and the uncles asked me to find a path in the mountain and set up a difficulty. These days, the disciples are worried about this matter! Fortunately, Master is back, and I ask Master to make a decision on this matter!" Speaking of this, Liu Ling's face was helpless, and there was a hint of joy that he was finally relieved.
After listening to Liu Ling's narration quietly, Xundaozi had some doubts in his heart, and when Liu Ling finished speaking, he pondered for a while, and then said: "Tell me what is going on with the robbery!"
Liu Ling said: "Uncle Antarctica maintained the two treasures of 'Fengshen Bang' and 'Whipping God' in the quiet room where the ancestor cultivated, and found that there was a calamity between the two treasures, and he was surprised to explore Zhou Tian with his supernatural powers, and then he found that there was a calamity between heaven and earth, but I don't know how much impact this calamity is, whether it is aimed at my Daomen." Therefore, I summoned a group of Heavenly Venerables from my Daomen to go to the Yuxu Palace of Kunlun Mountain to discuss countermeasures. After my Daomen and all the heavenly venerables and calculations, I learned that this calamity was caused by the birth of the demon clan, and the birth of the demon clan was not completely completed, although the Taoist ancestors allowed it, but the cause and effect itself was not completely over, and some demon clans were born and wantonly slaughtered living beings. This time Buddhism traveled west to learn scriptures, it became an opportunity for the demon clan to rob, and the desolate demon clan must survive this calamity before it can really be born! If it can't survive, the demon clan can still only survive in the barren land of Beiju Luzhou!"
After listening to the Taoist, he was stunned in his heart, this Buddhism has become the catastrophe of the demon clan in the wilderness today? Thinking about it, it seems to be true, at this time, the four continents of the flood wilderness, Dongsheng Shenzhou is the holy land of the Daomen, and it is a blessed land for cultivating immortals, and there are very few demon clan activities, even if they appear occasionally, they are all people who are dedicated to cultivation. Nanzhan Buzhou is the base camp of the human race, densely populated, there are many human monks, and the occasional demon clan does not dare to appear at will. Beiju Luzhou was originally a place of refuge for the demon clan after the catastrophe, barren and bitter cold, and the demon clan desperately wanted to come out of that Beiju Luzhou and be able to live and practice in the rest of the place. Only Xiniu Hezhou is sparsely populated, with many lush forests and high mountains, which is very suitable for the demon clan who are born and live today.
Nanzhan Buzhou is the place where the demon clan gathers, carrying the future development of the demon clan, there are many demon clans with advanced cultivation gathered in the mountains and forests, occupied the cave mansion, gathered countless little demons to dominate one side, and many demon kings appeared. Buddhism has traveled westward with great fanfare to learn scriptures, and all the way to the west, why don't you sort out all the demon clans in this Xiniu Hezhou? This is really a catastrophe for the demon clan!
In the previous life, in "Journey to the West", as soon as this Journey to the West passed, there were only two or three big cats and kittens left in the entire Nanzhan Buzhou Demon Clan, and many demon kings were either killed or subdued, and Nanzhan Buzhou became a world of Buddhism. In that "Journey to the West", even Zhen Yuanzi had to make his ginseng fruit tree suffer a catastrophe for the Westward Journey of Buddhism, and he had to thank the Buddha for his kindness!
At this time, because of the search for the Tao, this Buddhism gate does not have that infinite power, but the catastrophe of the demon clan in Xiniu Hezhou still seems to have not changed.
After thinking for a while, Xundaozi said: "Why did your uncles agree to set up a robbery for the westward journey of Buddhism? Isn't this to build momentum for Buddhism?"
When Liu Ling heard this, he quickly replied respectfully: "Back to Master! During the discussion at that time, Uncle Chijing also said, 'What is Buddhism going west to learn scriptures this time?' Poor Dao thinks that my Dao Sect doesn't need to pay attention. He can toss as much as he wants. It is only necessary to supervise the Buddhist scriptures transmitted during the final transmission of the scriptures, and there must be no classics that are forbidden to be disseminated by our Daomen!' Uncle Houyun Zhongzi said: "If my Daomen ignores this matter, the Buddha's journey to the west will definitely have a great increase in influence along the way, which is not good for my Daomen!' The senior uncles and the elders of the burning lamp also felt that Uncle Yun Zhongzi was reasonable, so they decided that our Daomen would set up nine calamities in Xiniuhezhou in this matter, so as to increase the influence of my Daomen and prevent my Daomen from losing in the Journey to the West!"
Seeker listened and thought for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, Su Xin next to him had already spoken: "This Buddhism is going west, taking the lead, whether my Daomen is rational or not, it will definitely lose." Ignore him, set up calamities for him to sharpen the people who learn the scriptures, this is to increase the momentum of Buddhism, help Buddhism luck gathering; ignore it, once the Buddha Gate goes west, it will definitely disperse all the influences along the way of my Daomen. This journey is only under the influence of Buddhism, which is more conducive to the gathering of Buddhism's luck! This 'spread of Buddhism to the east' is really worthy of being an opportunity for Buddhism to flourish. It's not bad for Elder Randen and the senior brothers to make a decision. Just take the opportunity of this calamity to plan one or two, so as to ensure that the influence of my Dao Sect in Xiniu Hezhou will not be damaged too much!
Xundaozi looked at Su Xin in surprise, he didn't think that Su Xin would make such a remark, but he saw Buddhism clearly in this matter, and immediately asked: "That sister feels that in this matter, how should my Daomen plan?" There was a lot of hope in her eyes.
Su Xin smiled slightly, and said: "We will set these nine calamities as the nine times the Buddha Gate asks for help from the Daomen!' 'The Buddha Gate goes west, and the Nine Seek the Dao Gate'; presumably after the Buddha Gate travels west, the influence of my Dao Gate should increase!" Looking at the trace of cunning in Su Xin's eyes, Xun Daozi also smiled and nodded.
Then Xundaozi turned to Liu Ling, who was a little sluggish, and said, "You can tell me again how your senior uncles and Elder Burning Lamp set up these nine tribulations!"
Liu Ling was startled, woke up from his sluggishness, and hurriedly replied: "Your senior uncles and Elder Burning Lamp have not made specific arrangements, but have only divided the nine tribulations, and the assigned senior uncles have arranged their own arrangements, and I have also shared one calamity in the Dao Mountain lineage. All the junior brothers, the jade unicorn, and the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast all wanted to go, so they quarreled and disturbed the master and uncle!"
After listening to what Liu Lingyi said, Xundaozi also knew that everyone didn't have any specific plans, but they were afraid that they would deal with it, so he immediately asked again: "Your uncles have divided the tasks, and they all tell me!"
Liu Ling replied: "Elder Randeng, Senior Uncle Taiyi, Senior Uncle Cihang, Senior Uncle Xuandu, Senior Uncle Yunxiao, Senior Uncle Yunzhongzi, Senior Uncle Wuyunxian, Manjushri, and Fuxian, and I seek the first line of Dao Mountain!"
After thinking for a while, Xundaozi said: "You go to send a message to Elder Randen and your uncles, as well as Guangchengzi and Uncle Duobao, and invite them to Xundao Mountain, and say that I invite them to come and discuss something!"
Liu Ling was ordered to go to the interrogation, Xundaozi turned his gaze, and the rest of the disciples saw a bright light shining in their eyes, even if it was Zi Ling, Xiaoyaozi, and Huang Tianxiang, and the eyes of the squatting jade unicorn and the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast were also shining.
Xundaozi's eyes swept away, but in the eyes of everyone's cultivation as Taoism, the jade unicorn entered the Da Luosan Wonderland without any surprise; the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast was almost about to enter the Taiyi True Wonderland; Yuan Hong and Bouldering were both in the Taiyi Golden Wonderland; Xiaoyaozi, the purple spirit was the Taiyi True Wonderland; Sun Wukong and Meng Chi were both in the Taiyi Scattered Wonderland; what surprised the Xundaozi was Huang Tianxiang, this guy who entered the Tao with martial arts actually became a monk in the Taiyi Scattered Wonderland like Sun Wukong and Meng Chi in the Tao.
You must know that the seeker didn't give much guidance to Huang Tianxiang, and most of his cultivation came by his own exploration, and it was not easy to enter the Tao with martial arts. With the qualifications of a mortal, for more than a thousand years, he has cultivated to the Taiyi Scattered Immortal Realm, which is really a bit against the sky. Huang Tianxiang doesn't have the same background as Nezha and Sun Wukong. Now if Huang Tianxiang fights with Sun Wukong, even if the two want to do the same, Sun Wukong will only take advantage of his body at most, but I am afraid that he is really not Huang Tianxiang's opponent!
Sun Wukong grinned and said to Xundaozi: "Master, this time let the disciple play tricks and make a name for the master!"
Over there, Yuan Hong said: "Sixth, Master's prestige, no one knows about the wilderness, who doesn't know, how can you use you to make a name for the master!" turned his head to Xundaozi and said, "Master, let's let the disciple go!" The appearance of pretending to beg really made Xundaozi want to kick him out of the way.
"Master?????? (To be continued.) )
