Invincible from the start

Chapter 284 People sit in the clouds, treasures descend from the sky

In the heavenly court, the fairy mist is misty, the majestic Nantianmen stands among the clouds and mist, and a group of heavenly soldiers and generals are patrolling around the heavenly court along the Nantianmen. Guests, these guests are all powerful or commanding parties with noble status. If there is an accident in the heavenly court, the consequences will be out of control.

Everyone in the heavenly court got up their spirits, and changed the corners that were only inspected once or twice to five or six times. If they had any doubts, they would check again. From top to bottom, they strictly abide by it, making the atmosphere of the entire heavenly court serious. stand up.

In Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor, dressed in a golden dragon suit, sits on top of the main hall, with a jade table in front of him, on which are neatly piled high-quality wine and preserved fruits.

On the two sides below, the honored guests who came to the Heavenly Court today were sitting and standing. The honored guests toasted each other and said polite words.

The Jade Emperor looked at everything with satisfaction. This time he summoned all the forces he had been friends with in the past to stop the Buddhist plan to travel westward. Now the people who traveled westward have returned, bringing with them the merits bestowed by heaven. Benefited a lot.

The people below are all from various forces in China, and there are more than a dozen of them in total.

Among the more famous ones are Wutian, the sworn brother of the Jade Emperor, Chiyou, the leader of the Chiyou tribe, Shennong of the Yandi tribe, and the envoys sent by the Jiejiao. The power of watching.

These powers were recruited by the Jade Emperor over the years in order to limit the development of Buddhism. Except for a few big powers, the rest of these second-rate powers all have one thing in common, that is, they are very close to Lingshan.

These forces are very clear in their hearts, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly beside the couch, if the westward journey of Lingshan Mountain is completed, the merits and virtues will be added to the body, and the entire Buddhist sect will benefit, and the strength will definitely rise to another level. If they are small, they will inevitably expand, and their neighbors will naturally be the first to suffer, so when the Jade Emperor found them before, they stood by the Jade Emperor without hesitation and jointly fought against Buddhism.

Compared with Buddhism, the Heavenly Court is too small. The main reason why they trust Jade Emperor so much is that Jade Emperor has a good son-in-law named Dong Yong, who hugged Emperor Fengdu's thigh back then. In this way, they have the courage to cooperate with Heavenly Court and fight against Buddhism together. After all, they still fantasize that Feng can join in, and then hang and beat Buddhism together. When the time comes, they will stand by and call 666...

In addition to these small forces, Wutian is the brother of the Jade Emperor, because they all hate Tathagata, and they have a common topic, and the relationship is the best. For the Jade Emperor's plan to destroy Buddhism, he agrees with both hands, while Chi You It was Dong Yong who helped to speak last time and called the Great Emperor to save his own tribe. Now that the court spoke, he immediately came to wave the flag to cheer. As for the Yandi tribe, Shennong's relationship with the Xuanyuan tribe is not very good. Now that Xuanyuan has joined Buddhism, they naturally joined the opposite of Buddhism, Tianting, and Jiejiao is similar to Shennong tribe, because Chanjiao and Buddhism have cooperated, and they are inseparable. Buddhism and Chanjiao Cooperating is tantamount to tearing the skin off with them, and they will naturally cooperate with Tianting.

The Jade Emperor is in charge of the situation today, basically he is the one who will say it again, and the people below are listening. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people below, he glanced at Dong Yong who was sitting on the side, and said loudly: "My son-in-law, the offerings from the emperor are sent to you." Has it passed?"

Dong Yong raised his head suspiciously, not understanding why his father-in-law would ask such a question. Didn't he deliver it himself a few days ago? At that time, his father-in-law asked him to go. Although he was puzzled, he naturally wanted to Answered, and immediately said: "Father-in-law, I went to Fengdu personally a few days ago and delivered it."

The Jade Emperor nodded immediately after hearing this: "Oh, just send it off, don't forget this, this is the top priority."

After this sentence, the Jade Emperor stopped talking, just smiled and raised his wine glass to signal everyone to drink.

The people below all smiled and raised their wine glasses in return, but they thought about it again in their hearts. They almost all thought of the same thing, that is, Tianting has already got through with Fengdu, and maybe Fengdu has already agreed to something, so this time Only the Jade Emperor is so confident.

Thinking of this, they felt more at ease.

The Jade Emperor looked at everyone's eyes, smiled inwardly, and said, "Everyone, this time the people who traveled westward from the Buddhist gate have returned, the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda will be opened, and the power of merit and virtue will be fed back to the Buddhist gate. It's time for us to set off."

After finishing speaking, the Jade Emperor stood up and dropped the jade cup in his hand to the ground at the same time, with a look of ferocity on his face: "If we want to survive in this world forever, we have to fight against the Buddhist sect forever!"

……

In the sky above Lingshan, Su Heng and Qijie floated among the clouds together. They were invisible and outsiders could not notice them. Qijie said that he wanted to watch a big show, but Su Heng didn't care. He sat among the clouds with white clouds as a cushion, I was also curious about how the merits and virtues of returning from the westward trip were fed back to Buddhism. Tathagata broke his heart for the grand plan of the westward journey, and obviously valued this matter very much. It's just a pity that the great monk Qijie intervened, and Su Heng knew that Buddhism was doomed in the end. It is useless to fetch water from a bamboo basket...

At this time, Lingshan was very lively. The rare Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda was opened wide. The countless golden Buddha statues in the pagoda were neatly aligned. One after another Zen sounds came from the Buddha statues, as if there were monks chanting.

The big Buddha statue touching the sky in front of the Lingshan Hall is always an orchid finger, pointing at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda from a distance, the golden light on the fingertips is like a key, opening the door of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda.

Up and down the Lingshan Mountain, all the Buddhas gathered in the square at this time. The Tathagata sat on the golden lotus and said in a low voice, "Kasyapa, how many doors have been opened to the heavenly danger of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda?"

Venerable Kasyapa clasped his hands together and said, "Reporting to the Lord Buddha, the gate of the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda's natural danger corresponds to ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, and now 81 doors have been opened."

After hearing this, Tathagata turned his head and looked at the guests next to him. It was Xuanyuan, the leader of the Xuanyuan tribe, and the emissary who explained the teachings. After that, there were some small forces attached to Lingshan. These small forces were also very close to Lingshan, but some They chose to fight against Buddhism, and some chose to take refuge in Buddhism. Naturally, they dared to take refuge in Buddhism because Tathagata promised that Feng would not interfere.

Tathagata told them at the beginning that the emperor had promised that he would not interfere with the Buddhist plan to travel westward. The emperor promised him everything, so he would not lie to him. After hearing this, the others felt that Tathagata dared to bet on the entire Lingshan Mountain. He must not have deceived them. Then they don't mind betting their wealth to give it a go. Tathagata has already promised that if this grand plan of the westward journey can be successfully concluded, there will be great rewards.

Small powers need these generous rewards to develop the power of the sect, while big powers like Chanjiao and Xuanyuan Tribe are more concerned about a reshuffle. Now Feng does not intervene, and they have no scruples. As long as they can win this victory, get The benefits are immeasurable.

Practitioners are fighting for it all the time, who doesn't want to get a share of the merits bestowed by the Dao of Heaven.

Tathagata looked at these people and said: "The court should be on its way now, and there will inevitably be a fierce battle at that time, please trouble everyone."

It is rare for the always lofty and indifferent Buddha Lord Buddha to say such kind words. The Buddhas behind him were all surprised when they heard it, and at the same time guessed in their hearts that this great cause of westward journey might not be so easy to complete.

Xuanyuan was wearing a fur coat with a sword at his waist. He smiled boldly and said, "Don't worry, Lord Buddha, this time I brought [-]% of the elite of the clan to prepare for this fierce battle. As far as I know, the Heavenly Court There are many opponents..."

Everyone knows what Xuanyuan said, and they have more or less inquired about their opponents before.

There are three top forces on the Lingshan side, Lingshan, Xuanyuan Tribe, and Chanjiao. Below are some small forces, not many in number. On the other side of the Heavenly Court, there are also three top forces, Chiyou Tribe, Yandi Tribe, and Jiejiao. On the contrary, the Heavenly Court itself is not powerful, but there are many small forces under it. These small forces are all close to Lingshan. They are worried that they will attack them when the Buddhism grows bigger. Almost all of them stand on the side of the Heavenly Court. In the middle, most of the energies of the interpretation and interception of the Second Sect are put on the battlefield between Yan and Tang. It is related to the national war and the luck of the first Sect. They dare not be careless. This time it is all about the alliance relationship. Symbolically send someone over to support it.

Now that Xuanyuan said it, it is also a problem, but Tathagata has been prepared for a long time, he smiled and said: "Commander Xuanyuan, don't worry, although there are a lot of people gathered in the heavenly court, under the Buddha Kingdom in my palm, it is just a group of ants. "

Hearing this, Xuanyuan nodded and said with a smile: "I have long heard that the Lord Buddha holds a treasure called the Kingdom of Buddha in the Hand. It seems that we are lucky enough to see it today."

When Tathagata was about to speak after hearing this, Sun Wukong came from among the four westwards. He regained his demon body, his golden hair stood up, and his eyes were shining brightly. He held the iron rod and looked directly at Tathagata: Now that I have completed my journey to the west, why don't you keep your promise and send out the six ears and the little lamp?"

Tathagata looked at the monkey demon in front of him, and said coldly: "Amitabha, there are ninety-nine and eighty-one dangerous gates in the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, and all of them have not been opened yet. What are you so anxious about?"

Monkey King snorted coldly: "I hope you don't play tricks."

While Sun Wukong was talking to Tathagata, Zhu Wuneng and Sha Wujing looked at each other among the people going west, and each took out the magic weapon that had been prepared for a long time, the hidden breath talisman, which can block their own breath, and the two of them planned to rely on this magic weapon to approach quietly Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda, after all the dangerous doors are opened that day, they will act immediately, destroy the shackles of Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda before Tathagata reacts, and release the brothers and sisters who have been imprisoned by Buddhism for these years. With the Tathagata's attention, they can take this opportunity to approach the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda.

Xuanzang, who was left behind, seemed to be like a forgotten person, standing there alone, holding a purple gold bowl, with a puzzled expression on his face, he looked at the big Buddha in front of the sky, his eyes were sometimes clear, sometimes cloudy, as if remembering what...

...

The Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda itself is isolated from the outside world, and there are monks guarding it all year round. After Zhu Wuneng and Sha Wujing approached and confirmed that they had to defeat the monks guarding the pagoda if they wanted to break in immediately, they also gave up and continued to block their breath. , directly showing the figure.

When the monks in the pagoda saw the intruder, they roared angrily. The secret seal of the Buddha's King Kong lion roar was deafening, resounding through the entire Lingshan Mountain.

Qijie in the cloud and mist glanced at Su Heng, pointed to the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda and sighed: "My lord, when this Buddhist gate built the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, its original intention was to educate all living beings and convert sinners, but now the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda But it has become a cage for demons and goblins. How can we talk about education? If we keep being held in prison, this hatred will only accumulate and deepen, and when will the injustice be repaid."

Su Heng smiled after hearing this: "If the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda does not imprison these demons and ghosts, how can Buddhism show their majesty."

After hearing this, Qijie sighed, but said nothing.

At this time, Tathagata also noticed the movement coming from the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda. He glared at the monkey in front of him, woke up, and raised his hand to suppress it.

Back then, it was the Five Fingers Foshan, which suppressed the monkey for 500 years. This time, it was just a fresh start.

As soon as he made a move here, an old man dressed in gray immediately appeared in the clouds. The old man came driving in the clouds, and lightly flicked a wisp of dust in his hand. The white dust whisk and the surrounding clouds turned into a long cloth, Blocking the Tathagata's Five Fingers Mountain, Monkey King also took advantage of this to escape and rushed towards the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda.

Tathagata didn't care about Sun Wukong who was going away, but looked coldly at the old Taoist in mid-air, looked at each other, and said in his mouth: "Bodhi!"

Taoist Bodhi looked indifferent, he was floating among the clouds, and the drifting clouds made his temperament more mysterious, he looked at Tathagata, and said: "When you attacked Wukong back then, the old Taoist had nothing to say, that is what the old Taoist owes you." , now that the grievances are over, let's see the best tricks under our hands."

Tathagata did not directly respond to Bodhi, but turned to look at Xuanyuan next to him.

After Xuanyuan looked at it, he nodded to show that he understood Tathagata's meaning, and when he was about to get up and go to the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda to stop those people, the power of heaven finally arrived.

The Jade Emperor led all the forces that had been drawn over all the way without stopping, and finally arrived at Lingshan. Seeing that the ninety-nine and eighty-one natural danger gates of the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda had not been fully opened, he smiled with satisfaction. The natural danger gates were not all opened, It also means that Buddhism has not yet had time to absorb the power of merit, which is not inconsistent with his calculation.

The arrival of the heavenly court also dispelled Xuanyuan's idea of ​​going to the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda to help. He could not leave the Tathagata alone. One bodhi was enough for the Tathagata to deal with it. , Now that it is a critical juncture, if Tathagata loses, it will be difficult for Xuanyuan Tribe to gain a foothold in the future, and the loser will have to bear the unbearable price.

Tathagata also noticed the movement of Tianting, his eyes swept over these people, and finally his eyes stayed on Wutian.

Wutian was wearing a black monk robe and long black hair, and he was also looking at the Tathagata.

The two knew everything about each other just by looking at each other, Tathagata said lightly: "Mo Tuo."

Wutian smiled slightly. At the beginning, he and Tathagata shared the same body and wanted to gain control of the body. Unfortunately, he met Emperor Fengdu in the East China Sea. He didn't want to die, so he escaped from Tathagata's body in fright. After another setback, he finally Went to the abyss, achieved the Buddha body in hell, and became brothers with the Jade Emperor after returning...

Bodhi, who was no longer entangled with the Tathagata, couldn't help being taken aback when he saw Wutian, and after staring at it for a long time, he sighed: "The body of evil thoughts..."

No one could understand Bodhi's words, but Tathagata did. He looked up at Bodhi and smiled ironically: "Junior brother, it seems that you and I are really destined..."

Bodhi is the body of good thoughts, Wutian, when he was called Mo Tuo, he was fused with Bodhi's body of evil thoughts, and finally went to the abyss to practice the Buddha body of hell. Transformed.

The Jade Emperor on the side didn't have time to listen to Tathagata talk about these daily routines. He was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he immediately stood up and said to Tathagata, "Tathagata, if you want to achieve the fruit of Western Karma and obtain the merits of heaven, then you have to live with me." close."

Tathagata glanced lightly at the Jade Emperor, then at Bodhi, Wutian, Chiyou, and Shennong wearing a straw hat, and said in a cold tone: "Amitabha, you have committed a serious crime. I have been waiting for you for a long time. In my calculation, I invite you to enter my Buddhist kingdom today and become an ascetic monk..."

The voice was not loud, but everyone on the field could hear it clearly. Bodhi seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed first, and the others also responded one after another. Wutian narrowed his eyes slightly. He remembered that someone said in the early years that Tathagata There is a treasure in the hands of the Lord Buddha, called the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, which is related to the luck of the entire Lingshan, but it can no longer be used. Now hearing the tone of Tathagata's words, it seems that the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm can be used?
The Tathagata was neither sad nor happy, just stretched out his hand, and made a gesture of support. There was a golden light shining in his palm. At this time, the entire sky above Lingshan was covered by golden light. Countless golden lights penetrated the clouds and shone on the earth. The Zen voice of the spirit resounded in the clouds, as if a huge object was about to land.

Su Heng and Qijie were at the top of the clouds. Su Heng noticed the movement, raised his head to look, and vaguely saw a Buddhist kingdom. There were countless monks in it, with pious faces, chanting Buddhist voices together, and the city was full of Buddha lights, dazzling the eyes. .

Su Heng looked at it silently. It seems that the place where this thing falls will crush himself and Qijie...

Originally, I didn't plan to take care of these things, but people sat in the clouds, and treasures fell from the sky...

Su Heng sighed helplessly, and finally raised his hand with a wave, and this Buddhist kingdom was directly included in the list of gods...

Under the Lingshan Mountain, a group of people were looking at the golden light clouds with serious faces. When they were thinking about how to deal with the Buddha Kingdom in their palms, the golden light in the clouds suddenly disappeared, and the whole sky returned to tranquility, as if nothing had happened. changed...

Tathagata opened his eyes wide, looking at the empty clouds, he felt as if he had lost contact with Buddha, but he didn't know why he lost contact...

what's the problem?
