The journey of the heavens starts from the underground transportation station

Chapter 414 Reactions from all parties, Maitreya’s plan

It is said that it is about organizing troops, but in fact there are many complicated things.

As the newly appointed Northern Emperor and the Lord of Northern Heaven, I must at least gather my subordinates to meet and get to know each other.

In fact, except for the Four Saints of the North Pole and the two ghost generals under Zhenwu, who belong to Beitianting, Li Yu does not know them.

But these subordinates all gave Li Yu face and gave him gifts, especially after seeing Li Yu wielding a magic whip with a bright fire, even those who obeyed the instructions but refused to listen to the announcement also came!

Except for Marshal Tianpeng who still doesn’t know where to go for sightseeing!

Li Yu was a little angry. Doom had already befallen this poor man. He was still in love with his son and daughter, so wasn't he afraid of being robbed that day?

He simply sent Zhenwu to retrieve the rammed goods!

As for troop formation, it really cannot be accomplished overnight.

The thirty-sixth battalion of heavenly soldiers and generals are on standby at any time, but the Xingjun of Zhoutianzhizhi already performs his own duties. He has to wait for them to arrange the things at hand before they can assemble in Beitianting.

Li Yu had no choice but to wait for a while, planning to take a trip to the underworld to take up his new post after accepting the position of Beidi!

At the same time, Lingshan was captured by evil spirits, and news of the death of Tathagata Buddha also spread, causing mixed reactions from all parties in the three realms.

In Dongsheng Shenzhou, the Taoist sect's sphere of influence, large and small Taoist sects are scattered in the Immortal Mountains. Most of them are Taoist traditions passed down by the gods of heaven. In the final analysis, they all originate from the three Taoist religions.

The immortal gods from the Taoist sect in heaven did not dare to celebrate openly because Li Yu was from the Buddhist sect and had been newly granted the title of Beidi, but the Taoist sect in the earthly immortal world had no scruples.

The Taoist priests were gloating over the destruction of Lingshan! What's more, they organized a group to openly ridicule Gongde Temple, the national affairs department of Aolai Kingdom.

However, although Aolai Country is a Buddhist country and can be regarded as a force under the jurisdiction of Buddhism, the monks in Aolai Country do not believe in the Tathagata!

Their "Buddhist scriptures" have all been altered by demons, and they believe more in scripture-gathering gangs and their own fists!

The human race should strive for self-improvement! Can we get used to the bad habits of Taoist priests?

The Taoist priests who dared to ridicule him face to face were all stripped of their belongings and left the Aolai Kingdom miserably.

In Hezhou, Xiniu, within the Buddhist sphere of influence, there are a large number of idle monsters surviving in the hills of various sizes.

The demon clan headed by Pingtian Great Sacred Bull Demon King immediately celebrated with joy after hearing the news of Lingshan’s destruction!

What's more, they directly proposed to seek refuge with Wutian Buddha and counterattack Buddhism.

The Bull Demon King knows the heavens, so it is naturally impossible for him to agree to such a death-seeking act. However, he is only one of the more famous demon kings in Xiniu Hezhou. He cannot control the demons who are ready to move, so he can only let them go.

.

Instead, they brought the jade-faced fox from Moyun Cave back to Cuiping Mountain, recalled Red Boy, and announced that the cave would be closed for a hundred years.

As for Lao Niu openly taking his mistress home, it is unknown whether he was beaten by Princess Iron Fan.

In Nanzhan Buzhou, there is still no trouble. The various separatist forces are busy in chaos and have no knowledge of the affairs of Lingshan. The temples in Nanzhan Buzhou have also closed their mountain gates due to the war and do not care about worldly affairs.

Among the three realms, only those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who have been arranged by Tathagata to stay away from Lingshan Mountain early are really worried!

In the Luojia Mountains in the South China Sea, the main peak is Putuo. In the purple bamboo forest behind the mountain, most of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism gathered here to discuss how to deal with Wutian.

According to Buddhist rules, only Daluo Jinxian can hold the position of Buddha; the position of Bodhisattva can only be held by Jinxian or Taiyi.

Except for the four great Bodhisattvas!

In terms of cultivation, the four great Bodhisattvas are all Daluo. Their status in Buddhism is higher than that of the Buddha, but they are only ranked lower in name. Except for the black-hearted Tantan Merit Buddha, no Buddha really regards the four great Bodhisattvas as

Buddha!

What's more, after traveling to the west, relying on the merits of studying scriptures, Guanyin Bodhisattva stepped into the quasi-sage and became one of the few quasi-sages in Buddhism.

This is Luojia Mountain, the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the Buddhist saints here are naturally led by her.

It's a pity that all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have discussed it over and over again, but they still can't come up with a concrete idea.

How can manpower be used to change the situation when the number of demons is eliminated in the sky? The people in the Purple Bamboo Forest can only protect themselves, and plan to find the reincarnation of Tathagata Buddha before Wutian.

What's more, people's hearts are not aligned!

For example, among the Buddhists, the ancient Buddhist monk Lantern, who was ranked before Tathagata and whose strength was on the same level as Tathagata, did not come to attend this gathering.

Since the Tathagata founded Mahayana Buddhism, annexed Hinayana Buddhism, occupied Lingjiu Mountain and renamed it Lingshan, and occupied the Magpie Nest, the ancient Buddha who lost his rights and home has been living in seclusion and no longer involved in Buddhist affairs - in fact

The Tathagata does not allow him to interfere!

Therefore, when the Tathagata is in trouble, the ancient Buddha on the burning lamp will probably celebrate it!?

For another example, the future Buddha Maitreya and Mahasthamaprapta, whose power is second only to the four great Bodhisattvas, did not come to attend this gathering.

These two people belong to the "remnants of the previous dynasty". Of course, there are more than just these two remnants. Today, in the purple bamboo forest, there are also many people who are from Theravada Buddhism.

In the underworld, on the side of the eighteenth level of hell, there is a dark red sea with endless sea water. This is the sea of ​​​​blood in the underworld.

Near the shore, over the sea of ​​blood, a huge formation disk is slowly rotating. Around the formation disk, blazing karma fire is burning. The evil spirit of blood and gas spreading in the sea of ​​​​netherworld turns into fuel for the karma fire; on the formation disk, there are six places

In the deep aperture, there are constantly ghosts with a ghastly aura, which are absorbed into the formation disk and disappear.

This is the six paths of reincarnation, the foundation of the underworld, and the foundation of all living beings in the three realms.

On the shore of the Blood Sea, stands a simple palace. Sanskrit music is lingering, and the supreme Buddha's light radiates from the palace, resisting the evil spirits in the Blood Sea, invading the eighteen levels of hell, and transforming evil ghosts.

Cuiyun Palace, the residence of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, today, two uninvited guests came.

It was Maitreya Buddha and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva who had not gone to the Purple Bamboo Forest gathering.

Future Buddha, Buddha from the East, successor of Buddhism, all the names may sound nice, but they are just like a dream, they are all illusions!

In fact, there is no right at all!

Maitreya has always been able to win over a few elders of Theravada Buddhism who are not satisfied with the status quo in the Buddhist sect. They complain and enclose the territory for themselves, unable to make any waves, and Tathagata does not bother to pay attention to him.

Now the opportunity has come!

When the Tathagata passed away and was reincarnated, when he first heard the news, Maitreya was three parts miserable, three parts regretful, three parts desolate, and one part excited.

If the Tathagata is gone, then it is my place, Maitreya, to ascend to the throne! Buddhists, you should respect this seat!

But the cruel reality once again dealt another blow to Maitreya Buddha: the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas headed by Guanyin decided to fight against Wutian, and at the same time, they also wanted to find the reincarnated soul boy of Tathagata to protect him and wait for thirty-three years until the calamity is over.

, climb Lingshan Mountain again, and take charge of the great religion again!

Go to your mother! The ghost is still here!

Maitreya does not resent Guanyin and others. They are originally members of the Tathagata. What Maitreya resents are those who were also born in Theravada Buddhism and listened to the scriptures under the Western saints!

People’s hearts are old! When the saints left the Three Realms, they rebelled one by one! They talked about hypocrisy and subterfuge, and took advantage of the Tathagata, but they all competed for the first place and were bribed by the Tathagata! They were unworthy of the teachings of the two saints.

Yeah!

Maitreya glanced eagerly at the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva beside him: The peak welcomes hypocritical support, and the dusk witnesses true believers. In the end, the only ones who are truly loyal to the two saints are you and me!

Buddha, the look in your eyes...it makes you feel guilty and look away.

In fact, the purpose of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva is not simple. Although he is also from the Western religion, it is better to say that Mahasthamaprapta is dissatisfied than he is loyal to the two sages of the West:

We are both Daluojinxian and Bodhisattva, so why are we the four great Bodhisattvas? Although I am not as good as Guanyin Ksitigarbha, I consider myself to be no weaker than Manjushri Samantabhadra! Why do Tathagata Buddha treat me so differently!?

This is the reason why Dashi Zhi and Maitreya hit it off so well.

And this trip to Cuiyun Palace in the underworld was also proposed by Dazhizhi: to find Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, find out the whereabouts of the Tathagata’s reincarnated soul boy, and then send him to wander in the long river of time and space!

"It can't be counted." At this moment, Maitreya, Mahasthamaprapta, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who was sitting on the lotus platform opposite opened his wise eyes, shook his head slightly, and said in a melancholy tone: "The Tathagata Buddha has reincarnated and has not passed through the underworld.

The force tears apart time and space, reaching the six realms of reincarnation. The young monk's cultivation is limited and he can only calculate that the Buddha was born in Dongsheng Shenzhou."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, one of the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, is a truly compassionate Bodhisattva and has never participated in the power struggle in Lingshan.

When he was teaching in the West, he made a great wish that hell would never be empty, and he vowed not to become a Buddha. Since then, he has gone deep into the underworld. Although he has taken away part of the authority of the six paths of reincarnation, for countless years, he has also worked hard day and night to save evil ghosts.

Eliminate the karma of all living beings.

Such a Bodhisattva naturally has no intention to pay attention to the so-called Mahayana and Hinayana, nor does he try to figure out the thoughts of Maitreya and Mahasthamaprapta. He even believes in Mahasthamaprapta's words and thinks that these two people represent the Buddhas and want to find the reincarnation of the Tathagata.

, to protect it!

"Dongsheng Shenzhou!?" After hearing Ksitigarbha's words, the smile on Maitreya's face froze slightly.

Dongsheng China! I’ve said this, but I haven’t said it yet! Although Dongsheng China is not a place where humans and pig monsters live, there are still hundreds of billions of humans, covering a large continent. How many creatures are born every year? How to find this?

What's more, that's still Daomen's territory!

"Can Na Ting Ting use his magical powers to help search for me?" Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva made a suggestion, and Maitreya smiled once again.

"You can give it a try." How could the sincere Ksitigarbha think of the true purpose of these two men? He immediately ordered his disciples to call them from the backyard to listen.

After a while, a beast came in from the side door, shaking its head and tail. It had the head of a tiger, a single horn, dog ears, a dragon body, a lion's tail, and the feet of a unicorn.

, looks like a dog but is not a dog, it is one of the auspicious beasts of the three realms, Tingting. It has a single horn on its forehead and has the magical power to distinguish right from wrong. It can assist Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and not be deceived by evil ghosts.

When Jian Ting heard in, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva waved him to his side and told him about the search for the reincarnated soul boy. Jing Ting nodded slightly, glanced at Maitreya and Mahasthamaprapta, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then he lay down on the ground.

He turned his head, put his ear close to the ground, and listened for a while until the horn glowed slightly with blue light. Then he raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and spoke human words:

"Reporting to Maitreya Buddha and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, the little beast's spiritual power is limited and he cannot hear the whereabouts of the reincarnated soul boy of Tathagata Buddha. He can only vaguely hear the cry of the soul boy, which seems to be coming from the Aolai Kingdom of Dongsheng Shenzhou.

"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked at Tingting in surprise and opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

However, the general situation was overjoyed. With the general range, it would be easier to search! Then he gave Maitreya a hint in his eyes, indicating that they could discuss it in private, and then stood up and bowed to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, saying thank you. His accomplices were unknown.

Maitreya, the two of them left.

"You evil beast, why are you lying? Are you deceiving Maitreya Buddha?" After Maitreya had left, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva raised his hand and gently tapped Tingting on the head, scolding him.

If others don't know, how can Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva not know it? Just after listening, the horn on his forehead lit up, clearly he had the answer!

"Bodhisattva's grace is not just a little beast hiding it, but these two actually have other thoughts..."

Diting was still lying on the ground and began to explain the secrets he had heard.

Listening to the Three Realms can not only be used to find people.

"In that case, I have wronged you." After listening to Tingting's explanation, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva clasped his hands together and let out a faint sigh: "Amitabha, it's such a troubled autumn!"

But Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is too lazy to care about these frivolous things in Buddhism. He is just fighting for power and gain. Whoever wins is determined by fate.

Three thousand miles away from Cuiyun Palace, this place is close to Naihe Bridge. Below it is the Wangchuan River formed by the endless rushing water of Huangquan, where Maitreya and the Great Power stop their clouds.

"Why did you organize this inquiry just now?" Maitreya Buddha still had a habitual smile on his face, but his tone was filled with dissatisfaction: "But is there a way to find the reincarnated soul boy?"

"I'm afraid if I keep asking more, there will be no results, and it will arouse Ksitigarbha's suspicion." Da Shizhi held a lotus-shaped Ruyi in his hand, and his face no longer had the compassion of the past, but instead had a sinister look on his face: "

Now that we have a general scope, why worry about not being able to find the reincarnated soul boy?"

"How to find it?"

"Buddha must not forget that Lingshan Mountain has been stolen by Wutian. Presumably, he also wants to find the reincarnated soul boy of the Tathagata, right? That devil Wutian is not a compassionate person like us, and I am afraid he will use something more straightforward.

A way, for example, to kill all the babies in the Aolai Kingdom?"

"you!"

As soon as these words came out, Maitreya Buddha was shocked, and the smile on his face never returned. He never expected that such a situation would be such a big thing!

How is acting like this different from that demon Wu Tian? Could it be that he has become a demon? Perhaps the calamity has come and the calamity has clouded his heart?

Maitreya Buddha secretly opened his wise eyes, and then looked at the situation, and sure enough, he saw a faint flow of black and gray calamity energy on her forehead, which was a sign that she was entering a calamity.

Maitreya was waiting for a reminder, but before he could speak, suddenly, an irregular black hole suddenly appeared not far in front of him. A pair of jade-like palms stretched out from the black hole, and then opened the space with his bare hands.

"What a compassionate and compassionate Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva! I have learned a lot today!"

A cold voice came out, and then, bells and drums rang loudly, and fairy music curled up. Two mighty god generals stepped out with weapons in hand, standing on both sides. Then, one wore an emperor's robe and wore a hat on his head.

A figure with a crown and a jade seal in her hand walked out at the same time as a pretty woman with black clothes and black hair and an expressionless face.

"Zhan Tan Merit Buddha?" Maitreya glanced and found that he knew three of these four people. The two generals were none other than Deputy Commander Tianyou and General Heisha among the Four Saints of the North Pole.
