I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 286 He will not be spared
Wutian followed Li Anran's suggestion and recalled all his men to the abyss of darkness to hibernate.

Tathagata failed to find an opportunity to weaken Wutian's strength, so he focused on cultivating Daoji.

Tathagata already knew about the monkey's defection to Wutian, and his minimum goal for Daoji was to fight the monkey to a close.

It is not easy to do this.

Monkey's cultivation level has reached the level of Daluo Jinxian. Coupled with the Eight-nine Mysterious Skills, which are extremely good at fighting, his strength is unparalleled in the entire Three Realms.

The only two weaknesses are that he is afraid of smoke and has no magic weapon!
Monkey knows the former very well and has tried every means to remedy and overcome it over the years.

Wutian has also made many efforts to this end.

Up to now, most of the monkey's eyes have recovered. As long as he continues to take care of himself, he can get rid of the "hot eyes", which sounds very serious but is actually caused by the smoke in the alchemy furnace.

The latter got some relief after Wu Tian bestowed the sixth-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus.

Although the sixth-grade world-destroying black lotus itself is not comparable to many innate spiritual treasures, as Wutian's soul clone, it can be remotely controlled by Wutian.

This alone is enough to crush many innate spiritual treasures.

The improvement plan formulated by Tathagata for Daoji mainly includes two aspects, the first is cultivation, and the second is strength.

Daoji is the reincarnation of the Dragon-subduing Arhat, and he has extraordinary qualifications. The Tathagata just needs to arrange more opportunities and hardships for him to bless Daoji with Buddhist luck.

In three years, Daoji can at least break through to Taiyi Golden Immortal.

As for Daluo Jinxian, it cannot be controlled by human power, it can only rely on Daoji's own efforts!
If you want Daoji in the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm to be as powerful as Monkey, you have to rely on external objects such as exercises, spells, magical powers, and magic weapons.

First of all, this is the unique and most powerful Zhangliu Golden Body in Buddhism!
The key to a six-foot golden body lies in the power of incense and aspiration.

It is difficult for Daoji to break through to Daluo Jinxian in three years, but it is much easier to have a six-foot-long golden body!

As long as the incense and willing power are enough, it is not difficult to build a Da Luo Jinxian!

As for the possible backlash caused by the power of incense...

With a thought in his mind, the Tathagata appeared beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pond. He stretched out his hand to take out the only lotus seed in the lotus pond, and recited the Dharma in his mouth.

In an instant.

Countless Buddha lights gathered from all directions, merit and fortune poured into the golden lotus like a tide, and circles of seven-colored haze of light spread out from the lotus seeds.

In just a few breaths, a bud broke out from the lotus seed, grew and matured at a speed visible to the naked eye, and produced a sixth-grade golden lotus with merit.

Before the heaven and earth were opened, there was a creation green lotus, the supreme treasure of chaos, which gave birth to the great god Pangu and created the world.

In addition to the great god Pangu, there are five lotus seeds in the lotus heart.

Among the five lotus seeds, the mature lotus seed was destroyed by the earth, water, fire and wind that raged at the beginning of the world, and turned into the 36th-grade Creation Green Lotus.

After the Sanqing, transformed by Pangu Yuanshen, appeared in the world, it was divided into three parts, respectively transformed into the Panlong Carrying Pole, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and the Qingping Sword.

This is also the origin of "red flowers, white lotus roots and green lotus leaves, the three religions are originally one family".

The remaining four immature lotus seeds turned into the twelfth-grade karma red lotus, the twelfth-grade merit golden lotus, the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus, and the twelfth-grade pure white lotus.

The World-Destroying Black Lotus and the Pure-World White Lotus have been missing since their birth because they have not yet appeared in this world.

It was not until thousands of years ago that the World-Destroying Black Lotus was obtained by Wutian and refined into the Yuanshen Black Lotus.

And the Pure World White Lotus is still missing.
The Karma Fire Red Lotus fell into the Netherworld Blood Sea and gave birth to the Styx Ancestor. It also shoulders the responsibility of purifying the karma between heaven and earth.

The Golden Lotus of Merit was obtained by Taoist Master Jieyin, and during the Catastrophe of Conferring Gods, it was sucked up by Taoist Mosquito to the third level, and fell from the twelfth level to the ninth level.

The Golden Lotus of Merit is the most precious treasure used by Western religions to suppress luck, and is closely related to the rise and fall of Western religions.

The Golden Lotus of Grade [-] Merits fell to Grade [-], which means that Western religion is no longer qualified to replace the orthodox position of the three religions of Interpretation and Humanity.

In desperation, Jie Yin Zhunti chose to separate Western Buddhism from Taoism, break it and then establish it, and turned it into Shamana, which is Buddhism.

The twelfth-grade golden lotus can give birth to nine lotus seeds every ten thousand years, and the lotus seeds can be turned into a sixth-grade lotus platform!

The merit golden lotus seed itself can only be regarded as a rare treasure!
Such as Maitreya Buddha, Medicine Buddha, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Ran Deng, Guanyin, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, etc., all have six-grade lotus platforms made of meritorious golden lotus seeds!

However, after the twelfth-grade golden lotus of merit fell to the ninth grade, the golden lotus of merit has only given birth to this lotus seed in these ten thousand years!
The meaning of this lotus seed is completely different from the previous ones!

It implies the meaning of Buddhist inheritance!

The Tathagata gave this lotus seed to Daoji, which is equivalent to placing the future of Buddhism on Daoji.

And with this extremely special golden lotus of sixth grade merit and virtue accompanying him, Daoji does not have to worry about the backlash of the wish power in Zhangliu's golden body. Buddhism will bear everything on his behalf!
With a thought in his mind, the Tathagata turned the sixth-grade golden lotus in his hand into a tattered and patched dirty garment, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Ananda..."

The Tathagata was about to ask Ananda to preach the Dharma and summon Guanyin to come and ask Guanyin to find an opportunity to give Daoji the robe of dirt. Halfway through, he stopped again.

After pondering for a moment, he looked at the bamboo forest behind the Eight Treasures Merit Pond, waved his sleeves, and a piece of Buddha's light fell down.

wow wow wow-

The bamboo forest swayed gently, like the ups and downs of waves, and countless rays of light surged into one place, turning into a bamboo stick, emitting endless brilliance.

It is the six pure bamboo roots among the ten innate spiritual roots!
When Sage Zhunti ordered the boy Shuihuo to fish Wuyunxian into the Eight Treasures Merit Pool with six pure bamboos, he planted the six pure bamboos around the Eight Treasures Merit Pool together with the Eight Treasures Merit Pool and the golden lotus in the pool. This constitutes the key to Buddhism's suppression of luck!
Tathagata was worried that Daoji, who only had a six-foot golden body and a golden lotus of merit, would not be a match for Monkey and Wutian, so he simply took out the six pure bamboos and turned them into a broken cattail leaf fan and a dirty mantle and put them together.

With these six pure bamboos around, as long as Wutian is not so crazy that he wants to destroy the foundation of Buddhism, he will have some concerns and will not be able to kill Daoji!

"Venerable Ananda, quickly go to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea to invite Venerable Guanyin."

After the Tathagata finished instructing Ananda, he closed his eyes and crossed his legs, and rehearsed the countermeasures he had decided from beginning to end, looking for possible variables and flaws.

He is not worried that Xuanmen or other forces will get involved.

The key to his victory over Wu Tian lies in Daoji!
As long as Daoji remains steadfast, he will be invincible!

Tathagata is full of confidence in this.

He has been teaching the Tripitaka of Mahayana Buddhism to Daoji in his dreams for these years. It is impossible for Daoji to listen to Wutian's deceptive words!

And even if Daoji is really shaken, he still has a backup plan that can reverse the defeat!
only……

"It's better not to go that far!" Tathagata thought to himself.

at the same time.

Qianyuan Mountain.

Golden Cave.

Li Anran reported all the news he heard from Wu Tian to Taiyi Tianzun.Hearing that Wutian wanted Li Anran to look for the relics, Taiyi Tianzun frowned and showed displeasure: "Wutian really thinks that you are just a random errand of those monsters and ghosts under him!"

"Master, calm down. Disciple has dismissed this matter."

Li Anran hurriedly told Taiyi Tianzun what he had said to persuade Wu Tian, ​​and explained for Wu Tian: "The group of disciples under Wu Tian are mostly useless people who fail to achieve anything but fail. Only Sun Wukong is the only one." It can be done. He had no choice but to find his disciple."

Taiyi Tianzun's face softened slightly, he snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Wutian spent thousands of years training only such a group of useless monsters and monsters. I don't think he has any chance of winning this bet."

He added: "The Tathagata always acts with foresight and never takes risks. His theory of reincarnation is probably just a cover."

"The so-called soul boy is just a puppet. He will probably hide his soul inside the soul boy. He can return at any time if he wants."

Master is worthy of being Tathagata's old rival, and his understanding of Tathagata is really deep!

Li Anran was a little surprised.

In the original time and space, Tathagata was not just hiding in Qiao Ling'er's body. Once he encountered real danger, a Buddhist dharma would appear.

Wu Tiandu had no choice but to follow the path designed by Tathagata to find the relics.

Taiyi Tianzun continued: "He and Wu Tian made a rule not to kill anyone, just because he was afraid that the Buddhist sect would be seriously injured because of this gambling fight, and let our Taoist sect take advantage."

"As long as Wutian doesn't take action, Buddhism will at most lose some Arhat novices and die a few Vajra Kasyapas. The core power of Buddha and Bodhisattva will not be affected in any way."

Having said this, Taiyi Tianzun frowned slightly.

Taiyi Tianzun was not optimistic about Wutian from the beginning to the end, even if Tathagata persuaded the gods and Buddhas of the three realms and made the outrageous and extremely arrogant concession of letting Wutian rule the three realms for 33 years, this was no exception!
He would agree to Wutian's request and help him secretly, just to cause trouble to Tathagata and weaken the Buddhist sect.

But now, this agreement comes out in three chapters.

The scale of this gambling battle was strictly limited.

It is no longer possible to lose both sides, and the damage to Buddhism will be minimized.

In this way, it doesn't mean much to Xuanmen!
Taiyi Tianzun regretted letting Li Anran get involved, but it was already done and he couldn't stop it. He only warned him again: "Don't think Tathagata and Wutian are fighting to the death now, but their original intention is to make Buddhism better." Prosper long.”

"You must be more careful. No matter Tathagata or Wutian, don't trust it easily, and don't take risks. The most important thing is to protect yourself. Remember?"

Li Anran responded: "Disciple understands."

After talking about Wutian and Tathagata, the two talked about Nezha again.

When it was mentioned that Nezha was reincarnated by Li Jing, he took action to cut off the causal aura on Li Jing's body and shattered the golden beads used by Jin Zha and Mu Zha to search for Li Jing.

Taiyi Tianzun couldn't stop shaking his head, his face full of hatred that iron cannot become steel.

It was not that he wanted Nezha to be filial to Li Jing.

On the contrary, Taiyi Tianzun completely looked down upon Li Jing, who had mediocre cultivation, bullied the weak and feared the strong, had no sense of responsibility, and did not protect his shortcomings at all!

He was very supportive of Nezha's dealings with Li Jing!
Nezha was very happy that he could understand and improve his cultivation through this thought!
However, Nezha’s approach is really too rough!
Don’t even do superficial things!

It can be said that it has damaged the reputation of his master and even Xuanmen!
After Taiyi Tianzun learned about this, he was furious and asked Jinxia Tongzi to escort Nezha back to the Golden Light Cave.

Nezha had been punished by Taiyi Tianzun to suppress the volcano and sort out the earth's veins for two years because he encouraged Li Anran to go with him to find those wronged souls in the Mongolian realm.

This time, Taiyi Tianzun directly changed the punishment into an indefinite period!

When will Nezha reflect on his mistakes and when will it end!
Since then, Nezha has spent many years combing the earth's veins in the volcano and suffered a lot.

Taiyi Tianzun's original intention was to polish Nezha's temperament so that Nezha would not be impulsive when doing things in the future, think twice before acting, and earn some merit by the way.

However, Nezha's mind is full of——

I do not regret!

I made a lot of money!

Taiyi Tianzun: "..."

The effect of directly pointing out this kind of thing is far less effective than comprehending it yourself!

Taiyi Tianzun can only feel helpless, hating that iron cannot become steel.

Li Anran begged Taiyi Tianzun: "Master, Senior Brother Nezha has been sorting out the earth's veins in the mortal world for these years. He has been roasted by the earth's fire day and night. He has suffered enough. Master, please be gentle and spare Senior Brother Nezha this. one time."

Taiyi Tianzun always protects his shortcomings, and Nezha is his favorite disciple. He has watched him grow up, and he is also very up-to-date. He is the second among the three generations of disciples of the Chan sect to break through to the Great Luo Jinxian.

Taiyi Tianzun had long wanted to absolve Nezha of the remaining punishment, but Nezha was stubborn and didn't understand his good intentions. He still refused to admit his mistake to him.

As a master, he couldn't bow to his disciples, so he had been delaying until now.

Now, with the step given by Li Anran, Taiyi Tianzun nodded without much hesitation and said: "That's it! For your sake, I will spare him this time! If he does such a treason next time He will be punished for both crimes if he does anything that damages the majesty of our school, and I will not spare him!"

Li Anran: "Thank you, Master!"

Li Anran bowed respectfully, excused himself, and soon arrived at where Nezha was.

Nezha is sitting cross-legged on the crater of the volcano, using his magic power to suppress the rolling volcano that is about to erupt, while sorting out the earth's veins to fundamentally resolve the matter.

He noticed Li Anran's appearance and was a little surprised at first: "Li Anran, why are you here?"

But soon, he came to his senses and said happily: "Master, have you forgiven me?"

In order to punish Nezha, Taiyi Tianzun strictly ordered Li Anran, Yang Jian and the others to meet Nezha. It had been eight years since they last met!
"Nezha, aren't you usually very clever? Why can't you turn around in this world and become so stupid?"

Li Anran looked at Nezha's disgraced and embarrassed look and was speechless: "Don't you know how the master treats you? Don't you know how he treats Li Jing? You have been struggling for so many years to solve something that can be solved by just admitting your mistake. !”

Li Anran said while making magic formulas with his hands.

Nezha is the incarnation of a lotus. It is very difficult to sort out the abnormal movements of the earth's veins under the fire of the earth. It can be called a kind of training.

However, Li Anran is good at various spells, so it shouldn't be too easy to do this.

In just a blink of an eye, the volcano that was noisy just now ceased, and the earth's veins returned to normal.

"I'm not wrong! Why should I admit my mistake!" Nezha muttered in his mouth.

He was surprisingly stubborn when it came to Li Jing.

"Okay, okay, you are the right one, okay?"

Li Anran rolled his eyes, waved his right hand, scattered the dirt on Nezha's body, and pulled him to fly to the Heavenly Court of Justice.

The gambling battle between Tathagata and Wutian is about to begin, and he should discuss with Yang Jian what to do specifically.
