No taboos in the world

Chapter 638: Buddhism helps Jinpeng, and Kuzhu resolves the cause and effect

"So, what you mean is, let Feng Yu... oh, Feng Yu and Kong Xuan together to save you from this disaster?"

After seeing Fengyu's experience, it is not difficult to guess Guanyin's purpose.

It’s just that Hong Chen killed too many people in the final battle of Conferred Gods, so that many supporting characters who were supposed to appear in the journey to the West were killed in advance, such as: Lingya Fairy, Qiushou Fairy.

Lion Camel Ridge is a major difficulty on the journey to the west.

Although Yuyixian, the golden-winged Roc, seldom hangs out with Kong Xuan, his strength as a Daluo Jinxian cannot be questioned.

Right now, Sun Wukong is still a Golden Immortal and has no chance of winning against Dapeng.

However, at present, Jiejiao is still in existence, and Yuyixian often practices in Jin'ao Island, so Buddhism cannot invite this "precious" actor to play a supporting role.

The same goes for Kong Xuan.

Zhunti almost abducted Kong Xuan. It was a blessing that Kong Xuan did not target Buddhism. How could Buddhism dare to look for him?

But Fengyu is different.

Although he is the reincarnation of Yuan Feng, his past luck and Taoist achievements are all blocked and suppressed by the karma of Heaven, and his realm of Xuan Xian is also real.

Whether it is Yuan Feng's physical body or the luck and fruit of the past, in order to escape from the Immortal Volcano, a huge amount of merit is required.

And suppressing the immortal volcano is itself an act that can gain merit continuously.

Now Yuan Feng has completely abandoned his physical body, but if he wants to get back his previous luck and Taoist fruits, he must offset the karma of the Heavenly Dao.

Journey to the West is an event of great merit. Even if Kong Xuan himself does not need it, he will not give up the opportunity for Feng Yu's sake.

only……

"Kong Xuan is causing the calamity. Who will Buddhism let to resolve it? It's not that I look down on your Buddha. Even if Tathagata takes advantage of the good fortune and suddenly achieves the Great Perfection of Quasi-Sainthood, he may not be Kong Xuan's opponent."

While Tathagata was making breakthroughs and progress, how could Kong Xuan ever stop?

Just talking about the Taoism of the Red Dust Sect, whether it was for the purpose of imparting it to the disciples of the Red Dust Sect and Feng Yu, or for the purpose of applying knowledge to other similar situations and so on, Kong Xuan had been comprehending it carefully and had never slacked off.

If we talk about the strongest successor to the Red Dust Taoism, Kong Xuan must be ranked first.

Hong Chen is not bragging. Kong Xuan's five-colored divine light is one of the most powerful magical powers in the prehistoric times. Coupled with his worldly Taoism, even if Tathagata has the guidance of three saints from Jiejiao and Buddhism, he may not be able to control Kong Xuan.

The Peacock Goddess and the Mahavira Bodhisattva who emerged from the back were clearly used to gild the face of Tathagata.

Even if Kong Xuan was born not later than Duobao, he was definitely not much earlier.

During the Conferred God Period, Kong Xuan was already in the late stage of quasi-saint who could fight with saints, while Duobao was only at the level of quasi-saint at that time.

It is not necessary to say that Duobao is less talented than Kong Xuan. It may just be that Duobao's "I am the only one" approach did not make much progress in Jiejiao, and only soared to new heights when he arrived in Buddhism.

No matter how you look at it, Kong Xuan has the first-mover advantage and it is impossible for him to be surpassed by Tathagata in an instant.

After all, Buddhism had not yet really taken off, the Journey to the West was still on its way, and Tathagata was only in the late stage of quasi-sainthood.

What if Kong Xuan brings Feng Yu to block the way of Tang Seng and his disciples, who will be responsible for fighting with Kong Xuan?
Even if he wanted to earn merit for Feng Yu, he couldn't just pretend to be defeated by a Buddhist. Considering his previous grudge with Zhunti, it would be considered a great measure of his patience if he didn't beat the Buddhist to death.

Hong Chen: "Anyway, I'm too lazy to go again."

So far in Journey to the West, he has shown his face many times.

If this continues, her appearance rate will soon catch up with that of Guanyin.

Guanyin sighed and said, "If the Great Emperor is unwilling to go, I will ask the Winged Immortal to help."

Hong Chen looked at her strangely, "Are you so sure that the Winged Fairy will help you?"

“Alas, if I were alone, I would be helpless. After all, he has been cultivating in Jin’ao Island since he was deified, and he only goes out occasionally.”

Guanyin spoke truthfully, holding up a golden Bodhi seed in her hand, "The Buddha once said that when Yuyixian was young, he did not know the importance of things and went astray. He refined the innate yin and yang energy into a spiritual treasure, which forced him to give up the yin and yang path. Although he has now achieved the Daluo Jinxian, his origin is incomplete and he has made little progress for many years."

Hong Chen was aware of this.

Yuyixian is Kong Xuan's younger brother. The two sons of Yuanfeng were born with the great fortune of heaven and earth. One was born with the innate five elements, and the other was born with the innate yin and yang.

After Kong Xuan was born, he studied his own innate five elements, absorbed and refined them, and contemplated them with all his heart, which made his practice progress by leaps and bounds, and his progress in the five elements was as fast as a thousand miles. In addition, he also comprehended a great magical power called "Five-Colored Divine Light" from the innate five elements, which was said to be able to sweep and break everything within the five elements.

This established his status as the number one person after the saint.

The golden-winged Roc, who was born from the same mother, was different. After he was born, it was not known whether he was kicked in the brain by a donkey, but he actually extracted the innate yin and yang energies in his body, and used a very clumsy method to refine them into a magical treasure called the "Yin and Yang Qi Bottle".

No matter how good the spiritual treasure is, it is still an external object after all.

It is like Jinwu Taiyi, who was once accompanied by the innate treasure "Chaos Bell". Even if he can fight against many ancestor witches of the same level on his own with the Donghuang Bell, he will still lose in the end.

Because the Chaos Bell cannot directly increase Taiyi's own foundation, it can only provide a significant bonus to his magical powers and combat power.

If it were possible to transform the Chaos Bell into his own origin, Taiyi would definitely not refuse to let the Chaos Bell disappear.

But the golden-winged Roc was extraordinary. He actually performed the opposite operation, and the magic weapon refined from the yin and yang energies drawn from his body was completely unworthy of the reputation of the innate yin and yang energies.

The Way of Yin and Yang. The first person who became famous for this in the prehistoric world was the Yin and Yang Patriarch during the era of the battle between Taoism and Demons.

Not to mention the strength of the Yin-Yang Patriarch, the first thing he held in his hand was the now famous innate treasure "Tai Chi Diagram".

In other words, if the Yin-Yang Patriarch had not died, the Taoist Ancestor Hongjun would not have the "Tai Chi Diagram" to bestow upon the Saint Taiqing.

What the Winged Immortal did was a complete waste of natural resources.

Hong Chen: "I knew about his affairs when I was the leader of Jiejiao, and I also studied it specially. Third uncle also knew about it, but he couldn't solve it. It seems that Buddhism seems to be very confident?"

Guanyin nodded with a smile: "The Buddha also knows about this matter. He discussed it with the two saints for a long time and finally found a solution in Buddhism." Hong Chen was immediately curious: "You don't want to take this opportunity to bring Yuyixian into Buddhism? Although this is indeed a good thing for him, it is also a major matter related to the path of Taoism. But whether he agrees or not, as long as Buddhism dares to do so, I think even if the third uncle does not want to see that traitor again, Kong Xuan will definitely not mind chewing up all of Tang Monk and his disciples."

"The Emperor is worrying too much."

Guanyin shook her head gently: "This is just a transaction, nothing else is involved. Besides, this matter still needs the assistance of the emperor to be completed."

"Oh? And my business?"

Guanyin said bluntly: "The yin and yang have been out of the body for too long. If you want to take them back, you must follow the principle of breaking before building. This bodhi seed given by the saint can keep Yuyixian alive for a while after his body is broken. When the time comes, you only need to send back the yin and yang that were innate, and then use the power of the Qiankun Ding to help, and you can accomplish this."

Hong Chen thought about it seriously and found that there was actually a chance of success for this matter.

But anyway, the probability is not 100%.

"What if we fail? Kong Xuan will kill you."

Guanyin took out the second Bodhi seed and said, "If it is impossible to do anything, then let him eat a golden Bodhi seed. At least his life will be safe and his body will be intact."

Hong Chen stretched out his hand, and Guanyin did not stop him. Instead, she brought it to him.

Holding the golden Bodhi and observing it carefully for a moment, he returned it and said, "The power of the saint is indeed extraordinary. With the Bodhi seed as the foundation, it refines the tangible and intangible things such as merit, luck, the Three Lights Divine Water, the laws of the Great Dao, etc. into one. No wonder it can have such a miraculous effect."

Although the effect and refining method of this Golden Bodhi are far inferior to Laojun's Nine-Transformation Golden Pill, it is still unique, and only a saint can refine such a miraculous pill.

Third Uncle's practice was mostly in the way of swords and formations, and he was not proficient in alchemy. Although his status as a saint allowed him to easily master most of the existing methods of alchemy, this kind of groundbreaking alchemy was not so easy.

Buddhism is always like this, often able to find new ways in many things.

Just like the Western religion in the past, eight hundred side doors were discovered from the demonic aura left by the demon ancestor Rāhu, and they are still widely spread in Buddhism today.

Buddha is the Tao, which refers to the origin.

Buddha was originally a demon, which refers to development and is even the core of most Buddhist teachings today.

Guanyin put away the golden bodhi and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think this can be done?"

Hong Chen nodded: "Of course it's possible. Kong Xuan can put aside his grudges and cooperate with Buddhism for a short period of time for the sake of Yuan Feng's reincarnation. I think he won't mind putting on a show for the sake of his brother's path."

Hearing this, Guanyin smiled and said, "That's good."

"Okay? Don't be too happy." Hong Chen also laughed. "The method just now mentioned the reversal of the innate and the Qiankun Cauldron. Doesn't your Buddhist sect also need my help? So, what can I get?"

Guanyin laughed for a moment: "Don't worry, Great Emperor, I will give you a thank you gift."

As she spoke, she flipped her palm, and a jade-green bamboo full of vitality suddenly appeared. The tender green leaves swayed lightly in the wind, and the innate spiritual energy that penetrated inside and outside emanated.

Seeing this thing, Hong Chen was shocked.

"Is Zhunti crazy?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Guanyin's smile froze.

The Saint Zhunti, who was far away in the chaos outside the sky, also felt it immediately, but he did not dare to do anything to Hong Chen. He could only grit his teeth in hatred, and then said to the Saint Jie Yin beside him with a distressed face: "Brother, do you really have the Six Pure Bamboos? That is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. My Western Region is poor and there are not many such treasures!"

Although the face of the Saint Jie Yin was sad, his words were quite open-minded.

"Brother, there is no need to do so. Even though the Six Pure Bamboos are a top-grade innate spiritual treasure in Buddhism, they are of no benefit to the fortune of the great sect. If we can get Kong Xuan, Dapeng and the reincarnated body of Yuan Feng to unite and establish a calamity for the Journey to the West, the fortune of Buddhism will surely rise again after the Journey to the West ends."

"Brother, I know about this, but if the Six Pure Bamboos were in his hands, as long as they were refined with the Qiankun Cauldron, they would definitely be able to return to the foundation of their innate spiritual roots... Alas, it was all my fault that I was too eager at the time and directly refined that excellent innate spiritual root into a magic weapon, but it is still not among the best."

At this point, Zhunti was unhappy again, and even complained: "If she was willing to lend me the Qiankun Ding, then the Buddhist sect would definitely have a bamboo sea derived from the best innate spiritual roots. By then, whether it was used for refining pills or refining tools, it would be the best choice!"

Upon hearing this, the Saint Jie Yin also sighed: "Alas, Junior Brother, you and I have been at odds with her since our early years, and we have been scheming against each other many times since then. How could she lend the Qiankun Cauldron to help my Buddhist sect obtain a top-grade innate spiritual root?

It's fate and time. Sending this item out now will not only allow Yuan Feng, Kong Xuan and Da Peng to travel to the West, but also resolve a lot of causal relationships between Buddhism, the human race and Hong Xuanling, and it will also allow Junior Brother to eliminate a regret. It's a good thing to kill three birds with one stone."

Zhunti shook his head: "Brother, don't worry, I understand. But I can't help but feel reluctant, so... I am heartbroken, it hurts so much!"

Jie Yin pursed his lips and said nothing more.

Xuanling Mountain.

Guanyin presented the bitter bamboo and said, "Buddhism and the Great Emperor have had many karmas in the past. Today, I am going to represent Buddhism and present the bitter bamboo to you. I hope that I can settle the karmas with the Great Emperor."

Hong Chen took the bitter bamboo. It was warm to the touch, like jade, and had the power to clear the mind and spirit, which permeated his body, cleansed his soul, and soothed his spirit.

Bitter bamboo, also known as six-root pure bamboo.

Hong Chen is afraid of hardship, so he prefers to call it by the latter name, or simply call it "Pure Bamboo".

"So it's because of karma." He smiled, "I think it's not just about my karma, but also about the daughter of the Emperor of Man, Jingwei, and the souls in the underworld that were secretly sent to the west by Ksitigarbha, right?"

Seeing that he had exposed everything without reservation, Guanyin did not choose to hide any more, but said frankly: "That's right. There is a saying in the mortal world: It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. This time, I, the poor monk, express my sincere heart on behalf of the Buddhist community, and I hope that the emperor will show mercy."

"You are too proud of me. Buddhism is now a giant that can compete with Taoism, but I am all alone."

"The Emperor is too modest."

Hong Chen chuckled and said, "Jingwei has been sent to reincarnation. When I was looking for her to help her, you also helped her, so this karma can be settled. But for those souls sent to the West, I dare not take responsibility for their karma, and I can't take responsibility. Since they are reborn in the West after reincarnation, everything will naturally be the responsibility of Buddhism."

Guanyin was not surprised and nodded, saying, "Of course. Buddhism today is very different from the past. What the Great Emperor saw back then will no longer happen in the West."

Hong Chen waved his hand: "It's no use telling me. I hope your Tathagata is really as described in the scriptures."

Although his words were impolite, they made Guanyin feel relieved.

Because in this way, Hong Chen would at least be willing to accept the bitter bamboo and end the causal entanglement between himself, Jingwei and Buddhism.
