Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Fahai never denied that he was a killing monk.

But killing does not mean killing indiscriminately.

As a human being, Fa Hai is determined to transcend the Three Realms, but his position has always been to say something unpleasant on the human side. That is, those ferocious demons in the Three Realms, as long as they do not take action against the human race, or do not take the initiative If they come to provoke Fahai, Fahai will basically not take the initiative to seek their misfortune.

As for the group in Luzhou in Beiju back then, Fahai was mostly trying to frighten the group of monsters. Those who knew the current affairs did not suffer the forcible transformation of Tripitaka Saint Buddha. They just submitted to the command of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and cleaned up the demons in Luzhou in Beiju. Poisonous atmosphere.

The meritorious deeds of this practice can actually be regarded as the process of being transformed. After all, if they are asked to choose between the Dharma of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and the punishment of Zhenjun Temple, they will choose the former without hesitation.

Ordinary monks still need precepts to cultivate themselves, let alone demons like them, if they only rely on their own consciousness, it may be difficult for them to achieve success.

This is actually a teaching process.

This time, there are no powerful people in Luzhou, Beiju, otherwise the Rakshasa tribe in the sea of ​​​​blood will be captured and used as coolies.

Our Lady of Wudang divided the eight hundred Rakshasa tribe selected into two parts. She kept 300 of them and prepared to take them back to Jin'ao Island to show off the appearance. The remaining five hundred Rakshasa tribesmen, Our Lady of Wudang, were Let them follow Qing Pingjian to the junction of Beiju Luzhou and Nanfanbuzhou to find her disciple Li Bai.

Of course, Mother Wudang knew about the fact that Li Bai was left behind by the female slave empress, and she had no intention of intervening. She had absolutely no secrets about the way of practice that should be taught to Li Bai. As for where Li Bai could go One step, then it all depends on his own luck.

From the moment Li Bai was released from Jin'ao Island, Our Lady of Wudang had already released him as a disciple. Unless there was someone in the Three Realms who bullied the smaller ones, Sheng Wudang had no intention of interfering with Li Bai's own practice.

The master led him in. Cultivation depends on the individual. Moreover, Li Bai is talented and intelligent, and Wudang Shengsheng also believes that Li Bai can make the right choice.

If you make a mistake and go astray, of course there will be lessons to be learned. Our Lady of Wudang will never be lenient in this regard, even if Li Bai is her direct disciple.

In the past, Jie Jiao's disciples had a great career, so they were not as protective of their shortcomings as Chan Jiao. But things are different now. Today's Jie Jiao disciples add up to less than two hands, so of course they cannot be easily compromised.

In the sea of ​​​​blood, in addition to the Rakshasa clan, there are also some ancient demons and Hongmeng beasts hiding here. Previously, the Styx Ancestor and the Rakshasa clan controlled the blood sea. Of course, these ancient demons and Hongmeng beasts did not dare to Acting rashly. But now, the ancestor of Styx is trapped in the demon world, the Rakshasa clan has been divided up by the powerful powers of the three realms, and the Asura Sect has ceased to exist in name only.

If no one suppresses the ancient demons and Hongmeng ferocious beasts in these seas of blood, then there will probably be a big problem.

Just when Guanyin Bodhisattva wanted to take the initiative to stay in the sea of ​​​​blood, he saw an emperor wearing a crown and rosy clothes appearing on the sea of ​​​​blood. His true body of the wonderful path, purple gold and auspicious appearance, sat on the nine-color lotus. On the throne, there are nine green lions with flames coming from their mouths, surrounding the throne, and their heads are surrounded by nine-color divine light, emitting thousands of rays of light.

The Great Qinghua Emperor of the East!

It can also be called Taiyi, the God who saves suffering.

Of course everyone recognized this emperor, and when they saw him appearing on the sea of ​​blood, they all saluted him.

Emperor Qinghua also returned the gifts one by one, and then said: "The matter of the Blood Sea cannot be taken lightly. I will guard the Blood Sea for the time being, and we will see what happens in three hundred years."

"good!"

Everyone praised him for his kindness, and it was of course the best thing to leave the sea of ​​blood to this powerful man to suppress it.

Although Emperor Qinghua's Taoist name is also "Taiyi", his cultivation is far superior to that of Taiyi Zhenren among the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao. After all, he is also a person who listens to Taoism in Zixiao Palace, and is the Sanqing Otherwise, the peers of the saints would not be able to sit in the six imperial positions in heaven.

Yuanshi Tianzun once praised Emperor Qinghua, saying: The most noble, noble, holy and spiritual. Taiyi, the God who saves suffering, was transformed from the essence of the Nine Yangs. It came from the Qi of Shiqing. It is an innate spirit. Because of its compassionate heart, it sympathizes with all living beings and has been going around to rescue sufferings before beginningless kalpas.

Moreover, this Emperor of Qinghua also once took charge of the underworld. After all, the term of Emperor Fengdu was three thousand years, and this three thousand years happened to be the turn of Emperor Ziwei.

Nowadays, in addition to the Antarctic Changsheng Emperor, among the six emperors of the heaven, even the incarnation of Empress Houtu, Empress Pingxin, also ruled the underworld as Emperor Fengdu.

During the period when Emperor Qinghua was in charge of the underworld, he incarnated as the Heavenly Lord of the Ten Directions to Save the Suffering, and in order to manage the affairs of the gods and ghosts in the Nine Netherworld, the Heavenly Lord of the Ten Directions to Save the Suffering also transformed into the King of Hades of the Ten Palaces. This is also the origin of the current Ten Palaces of Yama. .

As the saying goes, there is one emperor and one courtier.

This is true in the human world, and the underworld is no exception.

After Emperor Qinghua's term in the underworld ends, his incarnation as the Ten Palaces of Hell will return to itself. The successor can then promote his own capable generals, just like today's Emperor Fengdu, who will continue to lead the Ten Palaces of Hell one after another. More than half of them have been replaced.

If you don't want to cause trouble, or like Emperor Qinghua, it's not impossible to simply take charge of the Ten Palaces of Yama as an incarnation.

Riding on the immortal control of nine lions, scattering the auspicious light of hundreds of treasures.

As soon as Dongji Qinghua Emperor appeared, everyone felt that he was very reliable and could safely hand over the sea of ​​blood to the other party to suppress it.

At this point, the incident in the Blood Sea has basically been settled, and all the great masters have left one after another. Currently, those still staying in the Blood Sea are the Tang Dynasty represented by Tripitaka Saint Buddha, Li Shimin and Xue Rengui, as well as Guanyin Bodhisattva, Erlang The true king gathered around them;

On the other side of them, on the underworld side represented by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Emperor Fengdu, Yang Jian’s father Yang Tianyou was also with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva at the moment. They had not seen each other for a long time, and they happened to take this opportunity to talk. Reminiscing about old times;

As for the Lingshan side, after the Buddha left the sea of ​​blood with 80,000 Rakshasa tribesmen, all the Buddhas left with him. At that time, the Buddha was too bold and took away 80,000 people in one alms bowl. This made them unable to It's better to take action again, otherwise other powerful people will not agree.

Therefore, except for Guanyin Bodhisattva, all Buddhas including Maitreya Buddha and Medicine Buddha did not take action.

The leaders of the esoteric sect, Great Sun Tathagata and Peacock Great Ming King, did not come this time. If they were here, they might be able to snatch a part from the hands of Tathagata Buddha.

Not only Tathagata Buddha, but also the Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun, Zhenyuan Immortal, Wudang Holy Mother and Jinguang Immortal have also left the sea of ​​blood.

Only a few of them were left in the sea of ​​blood.

"Amitabha." Fahai clasped his hands together, performed a Buddhist salute to Emperor Dongji Qinghua who was sitting on the lotus platform in the sea of ​​blood, and recited the Buddha's name, "Little monk Sanzang, I have seen Emperor Dongji."

Everyone present is actually considered acquaintance, and no one feels alienated or uncomfortable staying here. Emperor Qinghua is the only Liuyu Emperor who often appears in the lower realm, so there are often some exchanges between him and Guanyin Bodhisattva; Emperor Fengdu is the incarnation of Emperor Ziwei, and he himself also held the position of Emperor Fengdu, The two sides also have many common topics.

As for Fahai, although the two of them have not dealt with each other directly, they still have some connections.

At this moment, the nine-headed lions under Emperor Qinghua's command have transformed into human forms and are none other than the Nine Spirits Yuansheng.

It is also a coincidence that Emperor Qinghua released Jiuling Yuansheng free. However, Jiuling Yuansheng was a family man and would go to Miaoyan Palace whenever he had something to do. In terms of serving Emperor Qinghua, he was more attentive.

This time, when he felt the strange movement in the Blood Sea, Emperor Qinghua immediately got up and rushed over. Nine Spirit Yuansheng also followed Emperor Qinghua and rushed to the Sea of ​​Blood.

It's just that the two of them are not in the front position, so they are not so conspicuous among the many powers.

When Emperor Qinghua decided to stand up and guard the sea of ​​​​blood, Jiulingyuan Shengfu Zhixin immediately manifested his true body and lay beside Emperor Qinghua. First, he wanted to increase his prestige for Emperor Qinghua.

Jiuling Yuansheng's cultivation is actually very profound. He has always been with Emperor Qinghua and has been carefully trained by Emperor Qinghua. His abilities are not inferior to those of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan's teaching, and he can be called the number one mount in the three realms.

The green ox of Taiqing Sage is far different from the Kui Niu of Tongtian Cult, or the golden phoenix and silver phoenix of Nuwa Empress.

That is to say, the brothers Qingshi, Baixiang and Jinmaohou were only able to compare with Jiuling Yuansheng in terms of cultivation after they were captured and turned into mounts by mistake. However, in terms of obedience, they are obviously very different.

In fact, the great masters of the three realms were somewhat envious of Emperor Qinghua for having such a mount, but they really couldn't bear to turn their disciples into their own mounts as such opportunities were rare.

Jiuling Yuansheng had dealt with Sanzang Saint Buddha, and now several of his grandchildren have also achieved success.

In addition to being stationed at Miaoyan Palace as Emperor Qinghua's companions, they basically spend time in Yuhua Prefecture and Tianzhu Kingdom, either teaching human cultivation or promoting cooperation and trade between the human and demon races.

Emperor Qinghua had exchanged scriptures with each other through Jiuling Yuan Sheng and Sanzang Holy Buddha. Although this was the first time for the two parties to meet, they had already been close friends for a long time.

"Hahahaha——" Emperor Qinghua smiled and returned the salute to Sanzang Holy Buddha, and said repeatedly: "Holy Buddha, why do you need to be so polite? I have known Holy Buddha for a long time, and I didn't expect to meet the Infinite Heavenly Lord today."

After Emperor Qinghua recited a Taoist slogan, he greeted everyone present one by one, and then said: "If you don't have anything urgent to do, why not just discuss Taoism in this sea of ​​blood?" ,how?"

"Great!"

This is a good thing, and of course no one will refuse it.

In ancient times, it was the most common thing for monks to sit and discuss Taoism with each other. Even two monks who had never seen each other before and just met for the first time could just call each other Taoist Fellow and sit down on the spot. Start a hearty discussion.

At that time, the method of practice was not as complete as it is now. When everything was hazy and unclear, everyone had their own understanding of the Tao, which was reflected in practice, and it was even more diverse and a hundred flowers bloomed.

The monks use mutual discussions to check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and learn from each other's strengths to complement their own practice methods and ensure that they are on the correct "Tao".

As the Taoist ancestors became saints and opened the Zixiao Palace Dojo outside of chaos, after three sermons, there were fewer and fewer scenes of Taoism in the three realms.

Especially after the six saints became saints, the monks, in order to seek the great path, of course worshiped at the door of the saints and listened to the saints' sermons, just to listen to the sermons.

If you can get the "orthodox" practice method from the disciples of the saints, why should you take detours yourself?

Even if they did not worship under the disciples of the saint, the "three thousand mortal guests" who listened to the Taoist ancestors in the Zixiao Palace, although they each had their own Taoism, after coming out of the Zixiao Palace, they basically took the shape of the Taoist ancestors. .

Therefore, outside of cultivation, the three realms gradually became unified, and the term "evil demons and heretics" emerged.

Of course, the Tao passed down by Taoist Patriarch in Zixiao Palace is not a basic cultivation method. After all, those who come to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Tao are all Daluo realm figures. After all, there are only Daluo realm monks. Only then can we walk in chaos.

Being able to practice all the way to the Daluo realm has proven that even if their way of practice is not the best, it still has merit.

What they really care about is the method of sanctification above Daluo. And this is the main content of what Daozu said.

It's just that the difficulty of becoming a saint far exceeds the estimation of the powerful people. What makes them feel powerless the most is that the holy position is decided in advance. The key is not the method of becoming a saint, but the foundation of the Tao—— Hongmeng purple energy.

After Emperor Qinghua saw this clearly, although he did not give up his pursuit of the Tao, he also relaxed his obsession with becoming a saint.

Therefore, compared to the two emperors Ziwei and Gouchen who practiced in seclusion all day long, he preferred to travel in the three realms, rescuing the poor and transforming all living beings.

It is also a coincidence that these characters who are still here seem to value the creatures of the three realms more than they are practitioners who want to achieve enlightenment and become a saint.

Even Emperor Ziwei's incarnation, Fengdu Emperor, is no exception. Otherwise, there would be no need to select qualified candidates in the human world to ban the current Ten Halls of Yama. Apart from anything else, the three major judges in the underworld are also He promoted him.

At this moment, the sea of ​​blood is full of strange phenomena, and it is completely different from the sinister place in the past.

The green lotus of Emperor Qinghua and the white lotus of Guanyin Bodhisattva are refreshing; the light of Sanzang Buddha and the divine light of Erlang Zhenjun complement each other; the golden wheel of merit and virtue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Yang Tianyou's book economics and the atmosphere of Fengdu Emperor's underworld complement each other - —

Li Shimin and Xue Rengui looked at each other for a moment. After all, they were not "monks". When faced with these mysterious and mysterious "Tao", they were inevitably a little confused.

But both of them are people with extraordinary talents. It doesn't matter if they don't understand. You can relax your mind and feel the true meaning of it with your heart.

Boom boom boom——!

The power of the human king's image and the blood of the human race exploded immediately! (End of chapter)
