Chapter 264: Bodhi, Nirvana
Regarding Li Qingli's speculation, Li Jing was shocked, but he felt that things might not develop as his daughter expected. After all, in this world, there are the three Qings of the Daomen, the two kings of the West, the first saint of the demon race, the three emperors of the human race, and the emperor and queen of the heavenly court, and there is even more Dao Ancestor Hongjun behind him. If you didn't know it in advance, now that you understand the Demon Realm's plot, how can you not try to stop it? Take a step back, even if the Demon Realm really makes a big attack, can the six Demon Venerables be able to compete with the eleven Heavenly Immortals with the same realm on this side plus one Hongjun?
Soon after, Kong Xuan and Princess Longji and his wife came to visit together.
Li Jing personally greeted them, let the two of them in, sat down and finished serving tea, and asked what the Nine Spirit Yuan Sage had explained after he arrived in Heaven.
Kong Xuan said: "Don't hide it from the virtuous brother, the two of us are here for this matter. Then he recounted the matter in detail.
It turned out that when the Nine Spirits Yuan Sage arrived in Heaven, he didn't have to wait for anyone to use any means, and he honestly confessed what he knew.
Today's Demon Realm is a situation where the six powerhouses coexist and each has its own side, and the six giants who dominate the hundreds of millions of living beings in the Demon Realm are called the Six Demon Venerables. For many years, they have been fighting openly and secretly for the supreme position of the Demon Realm, which has been hanging since the fall of Luo Yu's body, but they have never been able to distinguish the winner from each other.
About three hundred years ago, Ban Mao, the first wise man of the Demon Realm, deduced that the ban imposed by Pangu on the passage of the Two Realms would show a great flaw due to the periodic changes of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force three hundred years later. At that time, if you are willing to make a certain sacrifice, you should be able to explore a path to the heavenly realm. Then, if the six demon venerables jointly attack to expand it and stabilize it, they can get a passage through the two realms that can be used by the brigade of people and horses, instead of disappearing in a flash like before. It's all a matter of luck to get through the small rift in Guò.
After coming to this conclusion, Ban Mao lobbied the six demon venerables one by one. persuaded them to take a break and accumulate strength to prepare to reproduce the feat of Demon Ancestor Luo's conquest of the Heavenly Realm back then.
Three hundred years later. The flaw in Banmao's prediction of the ban did appear. The six demon venerables gathered according to the agreement, took turns to attack this flaw, and sent people to investigate after breaking through the space. The first few groups of Pathfinders lost their senses shortly after they set out, and their fate is unknown.
The Nine Spirits Yuan Saint was the pathfinder sent by the last Yi Tian Demon Venerable to make a move, and finally found the right path when fortune came, and pointed out the way for the six demon Venerables who had always deposited a trace of the power of the origin in the Demon Realm.
After listening to Kong Xuan's words, Li Jing asked with some doubts: "When the junior brother fought with that Nine Spirits Yuan Sage, I felt that this person was definitely not greedy for life and afraid of death, how could he be so light-hearted. Is there any fraud in it?"
Kong Xuan shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be any problems." According to what the Nine Spirits Yuan Sage said, although he nominally belonged to Yi Tian Demon Venerable, he was not a confidant. When he was sent to do this life-and-death pathfinder errand, he had been regarded as an outcast by Yi Tian Demon Venerable, so he had already made up his mind to turn his back on the Demon Realm when he came to the Heavenly Realm. ”
Li Jing frowned and said, "Since he has already had the intention of surrendering, why did he still have to fight that battle with his junior brother?"
Kong Xuan said with a smile: "Although he is vague, the foolish brother can guess his intentions, which is nothing more than showing his strength to show his own value." ”
Li Jing thought that with the cultivation of the Jade Emperor, he naturally would not lack the means to check the authenticity of the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng's words. Therefore, he nodded, no longer asked about the matter, and asked, "Now that you have understood the plot of the Demon Realm, how does Your Majesty plan to deal with it?"
Kong Xuanzheng said: "The matter is big. The father and the emperor did not dare to make decisions on his own, and he had already gone to Zixiao Palace with his mother to ask for a meeting with the Dao Ancestor a few days ago, thinking that there would be a proper solution. But before that. It is still necessary to be on strict guard. My husband and wife were sent by our father before his departure to help our virtuous brother. Just in case. ”
Li Jingxi said: "In this way, there is Brother Lao Dao and his wife-in-law." ”
Since then, Kong Xuan and Princess Longji have assisted Li Jing in guarding the Arctic Heavenly Realm, although the information they got from the Nine Spirits Yuan Sage was after the route was discovered. It will take a while for the Six Great Demon Venerables to cast spells to expand and stabilize the spatial passage, but Li Jing and the others dare not be negligent, and they diligently patrol the Arctic Heavenly Realm every day, lest there be a slight mistake.
After half a month like this, a news that shocked the entire Heavenly Realm spread from the Heavenly Court - in order to eliminate the catastrophe of the invasion of the Demon Realm, the Quasi-Ti Dao people showed great compassion and would make up for the flaws in the seals of the two realms at the cost of their own fall!
When he heard the news, two questions immediately rose in Li Jing's heart: First, weighing the strength of both sides, how could it be that his own side should have the advantage, and why was he afraid of the enemy like this, and he had to sacrifice a top master of the Heavenly Immortal level to keep the enemy out of the door?
No matter what Li Jing thought, this day finally came to the day when the Quasi-Daoist died and repaired the seal. All the heavens and immortals gathered in the Arctic Heavenly Realm to see off the prospective Daoists.
The Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, Laozi, Yuan Shi, Tongtian, Jieyin, Nuwa, Fuxi, Shennong, Xuanyuan Ten Heavenly Immortals are all standing in the forefront of the immortals.
The void emitted a strange fluctuation, and the last Heavenly Immortal powerhouse, the Quasi-Daoist, appeared with the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree Staff in his arms.
"Taoist friends sacrifice themselves to the public, and the poor Taoist and others are here to thank you. After the Jade Emperor opened his mouth to say this, the ten heavenly immortals bowed deeply to the quasi-Daoist together.
The immortals and gods behind him bowed down together, and said in unison: "Teacher Zhun Ti is merciful, I will wait here to thank you!"
The Quasi-Ti Daoist calmly accepted the worship of the immortals and gods, and raised his hand to throw the Seven Treasures Miao Tree Staff out. The short staff strangely took root, branched, sprouted, and grew leaves in the empty void, and in the blink of an eye, it grew into a towering and leafy Bodhi tree.
The quasi-Ti Taoist sat cross-legged under the Bodhi tree, smiling and chanting in a low voice, but every word clearly reached the ears of every immortal: "Bodhicitta one." Non-existence is not detached from words. Bodhi is the mind. The mind is all beings. If so, it can be solved. It is a bodhisattva who cultivates bodhichitta. Bodhi is not the past, the future, the present. If it is a mind, sentient beings are not the past, future, present. He can be called a bodhisattva in this way. However, there is nothing to be gained. Gain from nothing. If there is nothing to be gained in a qiē method. It is the name of Bodhi. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body exploded into a ball of golden light, and the golden light rose into the air, forming a huge "swastika" character, which gently blended into the void.
All the immortals and gods showed a sad look on their faces, and they bowed again to the empty Bodhi tree.
After the worship of the immortals and gods, the Bodhi tree turned into a streamer and flew away, disappearing into the distant sky in an instant.
The crisis in the heavenly realm has been lifted, but for some reason Li Jing always has some inexplicable apprehension in his heart: "Is this really the end of the matter?" (to be continued......
