Chapter 678 Manjusri Bodhisattva
Tang Dynasty, Chang'an.

Lingyan Pavilion.

In addition to the three outer floors built in the Weiyang District, Lingyuan Pavilion is actually blessed with the Huitian Formation, with a total of thirty-three floors built, reaching up to the sky.

It’s just that ordinary people can’t see it.

There are countless offerings to immortals and Buddhas.

The most famous among the twenty-four generals are Yuchi Jingde who occupies the position of the Black Evil Star, and Wei Zheng who slays the dragon and is the God of Literature.

There are Zhangsun Wuji, the leader of Liuxu, Du Ruhui, the Fangritu of the Twelve Hours, and so on.

At this time, the door of the Lingyun Pavilion's main hall was closed.

Four chains that looked like dragons and crossed the void tightly fixed Lingyun Pavilion. Huge bubbles of lightning floated up and down in the sky above the attic that pierced the clouds.

However, ordinary people cannot see it. The only thing that can be completely reflected in reality is a black cloud that is so thick that it cannot be dispersed, covering the sky above the Lingyan Pavilion.

At the same time, it makes other buildings around it look extremely small.

Twelve years have passed.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin once again summoned twenty-four ministers to hold a palace-level meeting.

The lowest level of cultivation among those participating in the meeting is that of a martial arts immortal.

Among them are stars that have descended to the world, people with great supernatural powers, and some star spirits and generals of the Big Dipper and the Southern Dipper.

Or they could be some of the Buddhas of the Vairocana lineage on Mount Lingshan.

Li Shimin slowly opened his eyes, looked around at the gods and kings standing below, and said calmly, "Is anyone absent? Is there anyone to take his place?"

As soon as he finished speaking, "Reporting to the Emperor, apart from Zhenwu, no one else is absent." Wei Zheng, who was known as the Wenquxing who came to the mortal world, stepped out and explained with a bow.

"Zhenwu was ordered by me to do something, so there is no need to wait for him. Let's talk about the first topic first - you said I am not dead yet, how dare she come to the world now?"

Li Shimin asked softly.

However, no one among the immortals, Buddhas, and holy spirits in the Lingyan Pavilion dared to respond to these words, including Wei Zheng, who had never been afraid of the emperor's power.

"Long Yu Jiu Tian, ​​if you delay, something will happen. She will inherit the throne sooner or later. This is destined by heaven. What's the point of you being anxious or angry now?"

A voice suddenly came, Li Shimin looked up and saw his golden vertical pupils staring at the guy who was rushing over.

With one claw, he gently tore through the space, and the Emperor Gou Chen, with six star cores hanging around his neck, flapped his wings and actually came to the Lingyan Pavilion.

And he said everything that the other gods dared not say.

"Humph."

Li Shimin snorted coldly, and stared at Emperor Gou Chen fiercely with his eyes: "You are standing and talking without back pain."

The first real fighting force in the Heavenly Court, Emperor Gou Chen spread his hands and said helplessly: "You always want to go against the will of Heaven, go against the will of Heaven? In fact, you are already a part of Heaven, why bother? Without the blessing of Heaven, how can you rule the four seas and overwhelm the four continents?"

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze over those star spirit generals, and found that some of the Dou gods actually seemed to be following the lead of Gou Chen.

"When did this happen? I'm not dead yet."

An angry thought flashed through his mind, and the two golden flames burning in Li Shimin's eyes became hotter and hotter.

However, he did not attack Gou Chen.

It's not just because Gou Chen was one of his most staunch supporters.

Moreover, compared to Gou Chen, the opponent he really wants to challenge is a more terrifying existence.

There was silence for a moment.

Li Shimin spoke up, "There's a big scene going on over there now. The famous master from the ancient times, Taoist Mosquito, has rushed over! And the one protecting her is actually the demon lord Lin Yuanjue, who I can't figure out. In addition, several Bodhisattvas from Lingshan, including the strongest Bodhisattva under Jie Yin, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and Mahasthamaprapta, have also gone. How many methods do you think I need to take her back to Chang'an? How much magical power and luck do I have to spend?"

This time, it was Emperor Gou Chen's turn to think deeply.

Emperor Gou Chen stroked his chin, thought carefully and said, "Unless I take action, no one on our side can guarantee that we can bring back the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West, uh, the little girl named Wu Meiniang."

Emperor Gou Chen could understand Lin Dong's terrifying nature better than anyone else.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Fight against Chongen and defeat Zhenwu.

He killed the star spirits, destroyed Ksitigarbha, and made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace together with the demon Zhuduo.

Such a person.

He had long been listed as a target of special attention by Emperor Gou Chen.

After careful consideration, Gou Chen realized that it was impossible to snatch the person away from Lin Dong with human power alone.

The only way to suppress the opponent.

Apart from himself, Emperor Gou Chen was probably thinking about only Ziwei's real body.

Tricky, especially tricky.

"I didn't expect that she would experience something like this before she died."

Li Shimin sat up straight, with his ten fingers crossed, as if he was thinking.

Suddenly, Li Shimin said, "What does he want? There are eighteen stars in my divine domain..."

"That can't be moved."

Emperor Gou Chen interrupted Li Shimin directly.

He rubbed his fists and said seriously: "Please put aside the matter over there for now, I..."

same.

Before Emperor Gou Chen finished speaking, Li Shimin interrupted him with a stern voice, "How can I let it go? This is related to the destiny of the Tang Dynasty! You always laugh at me for going against the will of heaven. Going against heaven? Haha, is it wrong for me to want to recreate the glory of the human race in ancient times? Is it wrong for me to lead the human race to wipe out ghosts, gods, demons and monsters? The Emperor of Man should be supreme, and the human race should be the only one in the Three Realms. What a bullshit heaven! The human race only believes in the great way of the human race."

Li Shimin's words were powerful.

All the officials and ghosts present showed excitement and looked at Li Shimin as if they were looking at a god who created the world.

Gou Chen shook his head, closed his eyes and calmed down before saying, "Don't talk too much about grand narratives, it's meaningless. Just take care of the matters of riding the dragon to heaven and prepare everything. The rest... leave it to me."

"At worst, even if you force me to take action once, I will definitely bring her into the palace."

Gou Chen said slowly.

Emperor Gou Chen knew Lin Dong's strength better than anyone else, but precisely because he knew it clearly, he would not underestimate him in the slightest.

It is precisely because he knows both the other party and himself clearly that Gou Chen is very confident in dealing with Lin Dong.

"it is good."

Li Shimin was speechless, but after getting the assurance from Emperor Gou Chen, his lips inadvertently curved into an arc, as if he had thought of such a situation a long time ago.

"Then let's move on to the next topic - the practice and cultivation of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array. So, my dear ministers, how are you doing with your cultivation?"

Li Shimin's words were actually directed to the twenty-four heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion and the gods of all officials below.

His eyes swept across the faces of the immortals, Buddhas and gods, and they all suddenly felt their scalps tingling, just like mortals.

……

Click click click.

A black hole appeared under the sky, an extremely deep black hole that continued to expand in full view of everyone, and purple-black electric sparks kept flashing.

then……

Tread.

An old turtle with four legs on the ground slowly appeared at the door of Wu’s mansion.

Sitting on the old turtle's shell was a blind woman. It was difficult to describe her appearance, not because she was ugly.

But when someone looks at the blind face, their attention is distracted.

Even Lin Dong's only impression of it was that there was a blind woman on the old turtle's back.

As for other aspects, such as the fairy's appearance, her spiritual practice, and other key information, I couldn't remember any of it.

“What a powerful person.” Lin Dong admired in his heart.

"May I ask your Excellency?"

Lin Dong asked while cupping his hands.

"I am Qixia Yuanjun, and I have come here to congratulate my sister on shedding her mixed body, reincarnating and cultivating again, and ascending to become the master of humanity."

The blind woman spoke slowly.

"Sister? You are so arrogant."

Lin Dong had a thought in his heart. The only person who dared to call the Queen Mother of the West "sister" must be Dou Mu Yuanjun, the mother of thousands of stars, a person of that level.

At the very worst, it should be at the peak Heaven-Swallowing Immortal level.

If you estimate it too high.

Maybe the other party has the ability of a quasi-saint.

Lin Dong was feeling apprehensive, but the old turtle under Qixia Yuanjun's seat was lying motionless in front of the entrance to the mansion. It was obvious that he had also noticed something and knew that something was wrong with the mansion.

And Lin Dong only now understood why Wu Tian Tathagata came here personally to set up the Black Lotus Space Array.

If there is no Wu Tian.

As for people like Qixia Yuanjun and Mosquito Taoist, Lin Dong could probably only deal with one at most.

If a group of people attacked together, even if Lin Dong didn’t die, he would still be badly injured.

"Where did this devil come from? He stinks so badly."

Qixia Yuanjun said abruptly, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he pointed a finger diagonally. The next moment, a terrifying purple flame burned towards the Mosquito Taoist in the sky.

"Samadhi Fire?"

Lin Dong raised his eyebrows. If it was just an ordinary Samadhi Fire, it would not be good enough at his current level.

You should know that there are several layers of fire in Laojun's furnace.

Samadhi fire is only the shallowest layer.

The flames swept across like an inverted waterfall.

A group of soldiers under Zhenwu's command quickly moved the cloud to avoid it, for fear of being contaminated.

Even the Great Emperor Zhenwu felt a mixture of respect and fear when he saw this blind woman.

The purple flames instantly filled the entire space around Taoist Mosquito, and what was shocking was that no matter how Taoist Mosquito dodged left or right, the flames followed him like a shadow.

Not only did it melt through the void, it actually only burned towards Taoist Mosquito.

Some sparks fell on other heavenly soldiers, but they did not feel any pain at all. On the contrary, some soldiers, after being accidentally contaminated by the flames, actually broke through their realm.

This can be seen.

Qixia Yuanjun's method of manipulating fire, even if it is the same Samadhi Fire, is much more advanced than Lin Dong's.

The Taoist Mosquito's hair was burnt yellow, and he suddenly got really angry.

Immediately, his mouthparts opened and sprayed out violently, and a blood mist hit the Samadhi Fire with a puff. Then, the Mosquito Taoist chanted the true secret in his mouth, and a Ruyi sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

He raised his hand and hit Qixia Yuanjun.

boom!
Qixia Yuanjun sneered, and the fierce attack of Samadhi Fire collided with Xue Ruyi, making a loud roar.

Logically speaking, with this kind of energy bombardment, not to mention the current Wu family mansion, even the buildings in the Heavenly Palace would be completely blown into pieces.

However, perhaps due to the blessing of Wu Tian Tathagata, the counteracting energy was so strong that not even a single brick or tile was broken.

Taoist Mosquito's face turned pale as he took back the Blood Ruyi that was flying backwards: "As expected of you, you are the immortal of heaven. I, Taoist Mosquito, have made note of your attack today. We will meet again in the future. I hope you can continue to be proud."

After leaving behind these harsh words, without waiting for Lin Dong to make a move, the aggressive Mosquito Taoist actually flew away on the giant human head skull magic weapon.

"My dear friend, I have helped you to repel the enemy. Can you let me in?"

Qixia Yuanjun asked calmly.

"hehe."

Lin Dong chuckled softly, "If Yuan Jun has the ability, just come in directly. Why waste time talking?"

Qixia Yuanjun's brows raised again, his cold fingers clenched little by little, and he said coldly: "You have fought against Ksitigarbha, but don't underestimate the heroes of the world. Not to mention the quasi-leader level figures, even among the swallowing heaven level, you have never been the best."

Qixia Yuanjun's words made Lin Dong's expression turn cold.

"Old witch, just come in."

Lin Dong sneered.

Roar.

The old turtle under Qixia Yuanjun's seat let out a low roar, and a fire phoenix rose from behind Qixia Yuanjun. The phoenix was made entirely of flames.

The moment it was formed, it crashed straight into the mansion.

The fire phoenix that was powerful enough to destroy half of the city did not have any effect.

The moment it hit the pillar of the house, the Fire Phoenix was swallowed up.

Without a trace, the ruthless attack was in vain.

When the Great Emperor Zhenwu in the sky saw this scene, he felt more and more headache.

The upcoming battle will obviously be a rare defeat in the career of Emperor Zhenwu.

After attacking once, Qixia Yuanjun did not make another move, but sat quietly on the back of the old turtle, waiting for the next round of powerful figures to arrive.

"Ugh."

A sigh came first, and then a voice like a huge bell resounded through the sky: "Good, good, another immortal Buddha has been born in the West, it is truly the favor of Heaven."

As soon as the words fell, the sky seemed to be split in two by divine power.

One part is rolling thunderclouds, standing heavenly soldiers and generals, and the majestic Zhenwu Emperor.

The other half is covered with huge golden Sanskrit characters, like a giant carpet.

The three Buddhas, wrapped in golden light and as bright as glass, came together.

The first statue on the east is Manjushri Bodhisattva, the one in the middle is Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and the one on the left, which symbolizes the most precious, is Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.

The status of Mahasthamaprapta on Mount Lingshan is second only to several ancient Buddhas and Maitreya.

To some extent, among the Bodhisattvas, only Guanyin is on the same level as him.

Samantabhadra and Manjushri are both half a step behind him.

"You daring demon! Why don't you quickly hand over the sacred things? Do we have to suppress you for five hundred years before we will stop?"

This is the thunderous sound like a lion's roar from Manjushri Bodhisattva, one of the three great Bodhisattvas.

"Are you coming for me?"

Lin Dong blinked. He didn't expect that this guy would dare to attack him.

If it was Qixia Yuanjun it would be fine, but you, Manjusri, who is only at the Suotian level, dare to challenge me?

Lin Dong just found it funny. He hooked his finger lightly and said with a disdainful smile: "If that's the case, then come in and catch me?"

Samantabhadra lowered his brows and said nothing, but he kept chanting the Buddha's name.

Mahasthamaprapta's eyes kept wandering around Lin Dong, but Manjusri could not bear it any longer, "You are looking for death!" Manjusri Bodhisattva, whose whole body was as bright as glass, displayed his magical powers, brought out an unparalleled huge Buddhist handprint, and slapped Lin Dong fiercely, and half of his body rushed into the Wu's mansion.

"Today I will let you know what the true Buddha is."

Lin Dong said in a stern voice, and boundless Buddha light surged from his body.

The next moment, a black lotus appeared in the sky above the mansion and cast two huge beams of light that absorbed Lin Dong and Manjusri.
