Journey to the West: Yinhu Zhenjun

Chapter 299
Lord Ling Xiao.

The Jade Emperor closed his eyes to meditate. After a few breaths, Wang Lingguan reported forward and reported: "Your Majesty, Taoist ancestor is not in Tushita Palace, and Taoist Shaohuo does not know his whereabouts."

The Jade Emperor slowly opened his eyes and said, "Okay, Aiqing, please go down first."

"Yes."

Wang Lingguan responded and returned to guard duty in front of the palace.

Wang Lingguan retreated, and Taibai Jinxing came out and asked, "Your Majesty? What's this?"

The Jade Emperor calmly said: "Xuan Gouchen Shanggong Emperor will guard Penglai Immortal Island and protect the eye of the East China Sea. As for Abbot Fusang, I will leave it to the Holy Court to deal with."

Taibai Jinxing hesitated for a while, and said: "Then what if the holy court forcibly opens the sea eye?"

The Jade Emperor glanced at Taibai Jinxing coldly and repeated: "Then let Emperor Gouchen manage it. The Heavenly Court will have full cooperation. The Holy Court must not continue to act recklessly."

"Yes!"

Taibai Jinxing bowed, then quickly exited the Lingxiao Palace, riding on an auspicious cloud, flew towards the Gouchen Heavenly Palace.

On Penglai Island, the atmosphere is still a bit weird. Since Lu Yin brought the news, many loose immortals have flown to Abbot Island overtly and covertly, hoping to use the treasure land to practice, or to open caves early to take advantage of the opportunity.

After all, from left to right, Abbot Island and the Fuso Sacred Tree are top priorities, and the battlefield may not necessarily involve them.

On Penglai Island, Zhang Tianshi also followed the Jade Emperor's decree and ordered the giant turtle under the island to stop moving and stop at the eye of the East China Sea.

The distance between the two islands is less than ten thousand miles, but Tianting has laid down heavy troops on Penglai Island.

On the fusang branch, Zen Master Wuchao shook his head slightly, "Looking at the battle in heaven, he will not allow us to open the Eye of the Sea."

Holy Emperor Dongfang Chong'en nodded, "It's good. If we don't use weapons, there will be no disasters. Otherwise, if we have murderous thoughts, we may be involved in a big deal."

"The only difficult thing is how Jumang explains to the Holy Lord."

Gou Mang turned around, eyes flickering, and said: "Unless the Holy Master is ready for a decisive battle now, otherwise, this matter will come to an end."

The three of them nodded in unison. Although the Holy Lord was quite courageous, fighting now would be tantamount to seeking death.

Not long after, I saw a burst of green light in the distant sky, followed by roaring thunder.

"Who's here?"

Ju Mang asked curiously.

Zen Master Wuchao shook his head slightly. His origin was mysterious. In contrast, he didn't know much about the gods in heaven. Only Dongfang Chong'en Holy Emperor took a closer look and said: "Emperor Gouchen, no one but the Supreme One can rival him. !”

The three of them quieted down, watching the scene change in the sky from afar.

There was wind and rain, lightning and thunder, and the sea water was boiling, faintly revealing the huge figure below.

I don’t know how many people on the fusang branch could see it clearly, even the Sanxian and Tianting people could see it clearly.

"what is that?"

On the head of the cloud, Yinling asked curiously.

Lu Yin looked at Ao Bing thoughtfully, and Ao Bing said: "One of the four elephants, Qinglong."

This Qinglong is also the only dragon clan that has not come to pay homage to Ao Bing.

"Roar!"

The huge roar of the dragon resounded through the heaven and earth, and the thick thunderbolts accompanied the roar further deepened the seal of Donghai Haiyan.

After a few breaths, the clouds cleared and the sky cleared. The green dragon raised its huge head, nodded slightly towards Ao Bing, and then disappeared into the water.

"interesting."

Lu Yin smiled.

Ao Bing shook his head slightly and ignored it.

Bursts of golden light in the sky passed through the clouds and mist, revealing a golden path of light, signaling the arrival of the Emperor.

He has a disheveled head and a black face, the head of a human and the body of a snake. He spits black energy from his mouth. He surrounds Kunlun. He always controls all transformations and controls thunder. He is the master of the Nine Heavens and has 36 birds.There are nine heavens in Xanadu, the sun, the moon and the stars.The five mountains are unified in the central government, and the city god is powerful.It leads to rivers and seas and has twelve springs.There are nine bases in Beifeng, water, land, Yang and Ming.If gods reject it, they will be destroyed; if ghosts reject it, they will be punished.No one dares to disobey orders.Gods and earth cannot become invisible.The Supreme Lord points to the throne and comes in person.If anything goes wrong, there will be a thunderclap.One after another, the rain spreads thousands of miles.

When the Great Emperor Gouchen came, all the immortals saluted together and praised: "Greetings to the Great Emperor."

Emperor Gouchen raised his hand slightly, and the bodies of everyone were supported by the breeze, standing on top of the clouds, with precious light emitting from their bodies.

He turned his palm and took out a scroll.

He said coldly: "Holy Emperor Dongfang Chong'en, whose virtue is not worthy of his place, colluded with the Holy Court, and plotted to kill Emperor Donghua. He should be punished for his crime!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scroll in his hand opened, and it turned out to be a picture of the gods filled with immortals.

Stretch out your hand a little, and the Eastern Emperor Chongen in the painting was torn out by magic power and stood in the air.

On the fusang branch, Saint Emperor Dongfang Chong'en's expression changed and he said, "Please help me, please."

Zen Master Wuchao and Jumang glanced at each other and nodded in unison, "Okay!"

Afterwards, cyan and golden mana flowed on the branches, faintly protecting the soul of Holy Emperor Dongfeng Chongen.

Emperor Gouchen snorted coldly and seemed to be aware of it. He stretched out his hand and the little man standing in the air exploded instantly. The chaotic air flow passed through the space and quietly appeared on the fusang branches.

Then the magic power passed through the two people and hit the Dongfang Chong'en Holy Emperor directly.

"puff!"

At this moment, the Holy Emperor Dongfang Chong'en's soul was agitated, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he almost fainted. It was Zen Master Wuchao who used the power of the Fuso Sacred Tree to barely protect the soul from decomposing.

With such a blow, Emperor Gouchen even made a sound of disdain, slightly bowed his hands to the immortals, and turned into a golden light and fell on Penglai Island.

His duty is only to suppress Haiyan. As for how to communicate with the Holy Court, it is up to the Heavenly Court to handle it.

On top of the cloud, Emperor Zhenwu was obviously relieved. In terms of strength, he was similar to Ju Mang and the others. If this emperor hadn't come, a fight to the death would have been inevitable.

Zhang Tianshi said: "Everyone, please move to the palace."

The immortals naturally agreed, and Lu Yin said: "Fortunately, it was a false alarm."

The battle was over before it even started, but before that, the Heavenly Court and the Holy Court each gathered three Da Luo monks. Once they took action, their power would not be too great.

Ao Bing also nodded, "It's hard for Daluo monks to die, but it's hard for these thousands of living beings."

It's okay if the path of life and death disappears, but if unfortunately the true spirit is dispersed, it will really be gone.

The immortals landed on the island and followed Master Zhang to pay homage to Emperor Gouchen.

In the Hall of Immortals, Emperor Gouchen was sitting in the middle. After everyone saluted one after another, Lu Yin noticed Taibai Jinxing who had been silent all this time.

Taibai Jinxing and Zhang Tianshi glanced at each other. Zhang Tianshi waved his hand to isolate the surroundings, and then Taibai Jinxing explained the Jade Emperor's will.

All the immortals calmed down, and after a long time, the great immortal Huangjiao said, "That's good, to avoid a fight."

"Yes, I believe that with the wisdom of Tianzun, there should be another way."

Emperor Zhenwu echoed.

Seeing the two people speaking, the atmosphere of the other immortals became much better. They each praised a few words, but no one raised any objections.

There are many arrogant people among the immortals, but there really is no better way.

After discussing a few words with each other, Lu Yin, as a Sanren, left Penglai early with the gold spirit and silver spirit.

Nanhai put Ao Bing down, and Lu Yin took the two boys back to the mountain.

The good-wealth dragon girl has been waiting for a long time, and Master Guanyin is also a moral person, so he should return the treasure early.

In Liangying Mountain, the Good Fortune Dragon Girl sat helplessly in the mountain. In terms of cultivation, she still had some magical power, but now that Lu Yin was not in the mountain, and the formation was at its strongest, even she could not get in or out.

Fortunately, Lu Yin felt something in his heart, so he came with the Golden Spirit and the Silver Spirit.The clouds fell and the formation automatically opened. The Good Fortune Dragon Girl said happily: "But the Great Sage is back?"

Lu Yin led the two of them to land in front of the dragon girl and said with a smile, "Sister, you've been waiting for a long time."

Lu Yin raised his hands in salute, which actually made the Good Fortune Dragon Girl blush. She had been following Guanyin for a long time, but she just knew that she had such a "brother". Who would have imagined that he would look like this when they met.

"Hello brother!"

The Shancai Dragon Girl returned a salute shyly, and then asked in an enlightened way: "Brother, that jewel!"

"I have brought the orb, and it is in their hands."

Lu Yin smiled and pointed at Jinling Yinling, who put her hands on her hips and said, "Are you the dragon girl? This orb is pretty good, let's leave it to us to play with!"

"Ouch!"

But it was Jin Ling who hit him, took out the orb from his sleeve, handed it to Shancai Dragon Girl, and said, "I was so playful for a moment that I forgot that Dragon Girl was so anxious. It's really my fault."

"It's okay!" The Good Fortune Dragon Girl quickly took the orb, and after confirming it was correct, she smiled and said, "It'll be good if it can be returned to my hands safely."

"Yes, I have heard a little bit about Mu Zha. Please don't blame yourself too much, sister. Everything is just a matter of days."

Lu Yin comforted.

"Huh? Does my brother also believe in the number of days and the number of days?"

The good-luck dragon girl asked.

Lu Yin was stunned for a moment and said vaguely: "I might believe it."

Lu Yin couldn't tell whether those who cultivated immortality believed in heavenly numbers.

The four of them chatted for a few more words. The good and wealthy dragon girl had not returned home for many days and hurried back. Jin Ling and Yin Ling estimated that they still had some time, so they wandered around Xiniu Hezhou by themselves.

Lu Yin rested in the mountains for a while, and then continued to embark on the journey of walking. The picture of the gods of the Great Emperor Gou Chen gave him a lot of inspiration.

Huangtian Wanling Dao does not have to be fixed in itself, it can also be transformed into a magic weapon.

"Should it be called, the magic weapon of enlightenment?"

Lu Yin touched his chin and thought.

Mo Yu Qilin, who was sitting down, hummed. Lu Yin came back to his senses and heard someone shouting below.

"Great Sage! Great Sage!"

Lu Yin looked down and saw a Bodhisattva in the mountain through the clouds and mist.

This Bodhisattva is covered in golden light, with a peaceful expression and a smile on his face. The Dharma is profound but somewhat obscure.

Lu Yin could immediately conclude that this was the resident Bodhisattva of Theravada Buddhism.

Lu Yin thought for a moment, reached out and patted the black jade unicorn sitting under his seat, and said, "Go down and have a look."

"Ah."

The black jade unicorn uttered a simple syllable and took Lu Yin to fly downward.

"The presence of the great sage really makes the humble house shine!"

The resident Bodhisattva laughed.

Lu Yin replied: "I don't dare, I haven't asked the Bodhisattva his name yet."

The resident Bodhisattva replied: "The poor monk was a nearby ghost who attained enlightenment and was saved by the eminent monk. After countless years, he saved people all the way and accumulated merits. Only then can he achieve such enlightenment."

"Outsiders respect me as Namo True Spirit Bodhisattva, but the great sage just calls me Dongwen."

"True Spirit Bodhisattva, I'm sorry."

Lu Yin replied with some admiration, from ghost to bodhisattva, how much effort does it take to reach this point.

The True Spirit Bodhisattva smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Great Sage, please sit down. The poor monk has heard about the Great Sage's achievements for a long time, but he never imagined it. I am lucky enough to see him today."

"This is the presumptuous call, which offends me."

Lu Yin waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not presumptuous. It's my fate to get to know the True Spirit Bodhisattva."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Zhenling Bodhisattva laughed loudly, took out the wine bottle from the side, poured a glass for Lu Yin, and poured another glass for himself.

Lu Yin saw it clearly and said with a smile: "Bodhisattvas seem to be different. Don't they have to abide by the precepts?"

Zhenling Bodhisattva said with some freedom and ease: "The so-called precepts are just tools to restrict mortals. The young monk drinks wine, but the wine passes through my heart. The young monk eats meat, but the meat does not stay in my belly."

"This is what the world says, after wine and meat pass through the intestines, it remains in the heart of the Buddha."

Lu Yin nodded in praise, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and looked around. The bright moon was in the sky, the shadows of the woods, the stone benches and tables, the immortals and the Bodhisattvas. It was such a beautiful scenery on a good day, with endless wind and moon.

This True Spirit Bodhisattva seemed to be a lover of personality, and Lu Yin couldn't help being moved by the atmosphere.

Zhenling Bodhisattva was quite talkative. The two talked for a long time and drank glass after glass of wine.

After a long time, both of them stopped and looked at the bamboo forest blown by the wind in the distance. Zhenling Bodhisattva asked: "Lu Yin, do you think this Mahayana is really better than the Hinayana?"

Lu Yin paused, recalled the memories in his mind, and replied: "The Hinayana can save oneself, and the Mahayana can save all living beings."

True Spirit Bodhisattva nodded and shook his head, as if he was still a little drunk, and asked: "That's not right. I, who practice Hinayana Buddhism, have also succumbed to thousands of people. Is my Bodhisattva status fake, or are these thousands of people... A thousand monks are not considered sentient beings?"

Lu Yin couldn't answer for a moment and just drank the wine in his hand quietly.

The True Spirit Bodhisattva took a big sip and said, "Tsk, Hinayana Buddhism is better."

"Well, it's better for me!"

Lu Yin still didn't say anything, but just took the wine bottle and filled the cup for the drunken Bodhisattva.

At the end, the True Spirit Bodhisattva collapsed on the ground. Lu Yin stood up and was about to leave. After thinking about it, he said: "Buddhism is Buddhism, and Buddha is Buddha."

"When you become a Buddha, your Dharma is the Mahayana Dharma."

After saying that, he rode on the black jade unicorn and left.

The True Spirit Bodhisattva on the ground was half-undressed, his groggy face suddenly sobered up, his eyes were wide open, and hot tears flowed from his eyes.

After Lu Yin left, he burst into tears.

In the air, Lu Yin let out a long sigh and said, "It's hard to find a method!"

"Uh-huh."

Mo Yu Qilin nodded accordingly.

One man and one beast, faintly speeding up, a white light flashed, and they didn't know which mountain they fell into.

Lu Yin gained a lot from his discussion with the True Spirit Bodhisattva. He even came up with another idea. If he became the Jade Emperor, he might be able to successfully cultivate the Huangtian Ten Thousand Spirits Technique in an instant, right?
Of course, it was just Lu Yin's imagination. Nowadays, there are demon lords causing trouble everywhere, and the Holy Court is pressing every step of the way. It's hard for the Jade Emperor to be the boss!

Thinking like this, the black jade unicorn roared loudly.

Lu Yin looked in surprise, "Is there anyone waiting for me in front?"

"Uh-huh."

Mo Yu Qilin nodded, took steps, and continued to walk forward.

In the clouds and mist, a mountain appeared.
