Taoist Master wants to live forever

Chapter 577: Intercepting the Essence
Seeing that the person coming was none other than Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South China Sea, Wen Lianggong was extremely excited.

After decades of planning, it is finally coming to fruition!
When Guanyin finished her sermon, she spoke to the monks present.

"Everyone, if you have any doubts about Buddhism, please feel free to ask."

However, the monks were naturally impatient, but they did not expect that when they opened their mouths, they could not make any sound.

Just at this moment, someone's voice was heard.

"I have some doubts."

All the monks looked over when they heard the sound, and saw a monk who had walked up to the platform and stood in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

When Guanyin saw the person coming, the corner of her eye twitched slightly and her eyes were deep.

This damn guy...

"What are you doing here?"

Guanyin's telepathic communication is not known to the general public.

"Of course I am here to comprehend the Buddha's teachings and to ask Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara for advice and answers to my questions."

After answering in his mind, Wen Lianggong asked in all seriousness, "May I ask the Bodhisattva, it is said that all living beings can become Buddhas, but what is Buddha? Until now, I still don't quite understand."

Guanyin seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. The corners of her mouth were harder to suppress than AK, and the mocking smile on her face turned into a gentle smile.

"I am the only one who is supreme in heaven and on earth."

Wen Lianggong raised his eyebrows: "It is better for the Bodhisattva to explain this clearly, otherwise some monks with poor understanding may really think that he is the only one in the world."

"..."

After a debate, Wen Lianggong looked serious and acted as if he had suddenly realized something.

"I see. It seems that I am not very experienced."

As soon as he finished speaking, golden lotuses emerged from the ground and nectar fell from the sky. It was as if Heaven was favoring them and would reveal infinite wonderful principles for all the eminent monks to comprehend.

As he watched the gates of heaven open, Wen Lianggong couldn't help but grin with an excited look on his face.

He has been waiting quietly for so many years, isn't it just for this moment?

With the protection of the Buddhist water and land ceremony, he can naturally gather all his strength and seize the true essence of the way of heaven in this world.

At that moment, Wen Lianggong, who had seized the opportunity, pointed out without waiting for Guanyin to say anything.

Guanyin's face turned pale with anger, and she could no longer maintain her image. She shouted, "What do you want to do?!"

Wen Lianggong naturally ignored it. Guanyin's lifeline was in his hands, so he didn't have to worry too much.

For the past few decades, he had been waiting for Guanyin to preside over the water and land ceremony, and even secretly asked Guanyin to volunteer to serve as the presiding officer of the Chang'an water ceremony. Now his wish has finally come true.

With just a point of the finger, there will be earth-shaking changes.

Because of the water and land ceremony, the precious light of Buddhist Dharma was intertwined in this area, condensing into an interweaving of infinite Dharma principles. When Wen Lianggong pointed it out, it was like adding a dose of strong medicine, and it suddenly turned into an infinite interweaving of dazzling divine light. The pillar of light that penetrated the nine heavens instantly attracted the attention of the mighty ones in the nine heavens and ten earths.

The Heavenly Court noticed it immediately. In the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor's eyes moved slightly and he looked down at the Thousand-Li Eyes and the Wind-Hearing Ears.

"What happened there?"

After receiving the order, Thousand-Li Eyes and Wind-Ears made an investigation and reported, "Your Highness, it is the Buddhist sect that held a water and land ceremony in the mortal world. The Dharma principles and Buddha's light intertwined, which attracted the favor of Heaven and brought down auspicious signs. Later, a monk raised it up and transformed it into a pillar of light that penetrated the nine heavens and ten earths." The Jade Emperor narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and after a while he sneered and closed his eyes slightly.

"Let them be proud for a while."

In the Great Hall of the Buddha at the Western Lingshan Mountain, Tathagata, who was sitting on the thirty-six-level golden lotus, suddenly looked up. His crystal eyes cast golden light and his sight penetrated the distant distance and looked towards the city of Chang'an.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he saw that the sky above Chang'an City was obscured by the great power of a powerful man. The secrets of heaven were confused, and even he could not see the changes inside.

I just saw Wen Lianggong appear at the water ceremony and have a conversation with Guanyin.

Doubts arose in his heart, and he felt that something was wrong. He did not invite Wen Lianggong in the previous times. Was he trying to cause trouble in this water and land ceremony this time?
If that were all, Tathagata would not care. Today, Buddhism is flourishing and has completely overwhelmed Taoism. Although the Water and Land Ceremony demonstrates the profoundness of Buddhism, it can only be said to be the icing on the cake now. There is no big problem even if it is not held.

In this world, the Jade Emperor Tathagata's thoughts were racing.

Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound was heard from the nine heavens and ten earths, wind, thunder and clouds were moving in the sky, and the sea of ​​clouds rolled like waves.

Then Wen Lianggong revealed his true form, holding an iron rod in his hand. With a thought, it turned into a golden bridge, which blocked the disappearing sky road, leaving a passage.

Stimulated by this, the laws of nature will change.

In an instant, the whole world was filled with strong winds, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and an indescribable breath of palpitations flowed between heaven and earth, making the entire nine heavens and ten earths silent for a moment.

It seemed that with Wen Lianggong's actions, the whole world was about to end.

Sensing this aura, all the gods and Buddhas in the sky raised their heads and looked towards the water and land ceremony on earth, each using their own methods.

Why could a mere water and land ceremony held by the Buddhist sect cause such a shock that the nine heavens and ten earths were affected?

"What is this? Someone has offended the gods, is a calamity going to befall them?"

In Gao Village, Zhu Bajie, who had transformed into a sturdy man, looked at the changing world in some confusion. From his perspective, how could he not see that the world was wailing and roaring, and was about to bring down divine punishment to kill those who had angered the heavens.

On the top of the Flower-Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong looked into the distance. At this moment, his pair of golden pupils emitted golden light. He was using his flaming eyes to see in all directions and illuminate all directions.

"This is……"

A solemn look appeared on his face.

Sun Wukong knew that Tang Sanzang was actually Wen Lianggong in disguise, but his transformation technique was so perfect that it actually deceived Tathagata Buddha and allowed that person to steal the Buddhahood.

The Sandalwood Merit Buddha, in Buddhism, is only inferior to the three Buddhas of the past, present and future in terms of status.

"The might of heaven is so great that it has caused the wrath of heaven. Why is this happening?"

Sun Wukong thought for a long time, then he fixed his eyes and turned into a ray of golden light, flying towards the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an.

At the water and land ceremony, countless monks were all terrified, looking towards the figure in the air. The figure had a lofty aura, like a god or devil descended to the world, with such immense divine power that they could not move at all and could only sit there in a daze.

Rumble!
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the thunderstorm was extremely violent. The thunder rumbled, and the lightning flashed like dragons, churning endlessly in the black clouds. It was truly earth-shaking.

Seeing Wen Lianggong making the magic seal and building the golden bridge in an attempt to pull Tiandao out, Guanyin could no longer sit still and her face became ferocious.

"stop!"

After she finished speaking, Buddha's light surged around her body, turning into boundless clear light. Then the jade bottle in her hand rose up out of thin air, and swelled up in the wind, turning into the size of a mountain. The mouth of the bottle was turned upside down and aimed at Wen Lianggong. Boundless light burst out from the mouth of the bottle, bringing with it a terrifying suction force, trying to suck Wen Lianggong into the bottle.
