Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1177: The Clouds Disperse and the Rest Comes
Inside the Jixintian Cave, shocking changes occurred again.

"I am not Lord Shaoyang. My name is, One Sail for the Crossing." An unpredictable voice came out from Xu Fengnian's mouth, and dazzling Buddha light was filled with boundless holy energy.

"After thousands of years of cultivation, we are still missing a boat and a sail. We are sinking into the boundless sea of ​​​​Dharma and need to cross it."

The moment Xu Fengnian turned around, a transcendental figure appeared in front of Shi Tathagata.

"Who are you?"

Just as Buddha Tathagata was in doubt, Quezhou Yifandu started playing the celestial flute.

When the sound of the flute reached their ears, Emperor Tathagata and Shi Tathagata came to their senses and found themselves in the stone pavilion.

The person in front of me is exactly what I need a boat and a sail to cross.

"Would you two like some tea?" Quezhou Yifandu sat down first, picked up the teapot and poured tea for the two.

Emperor Ru woke up from the battle between the saint and the devil, looked around, and asked: "Where is this place..."

"The ocean is vast without water." The voice of Quezhouyifandu was soft and gentle.

“You are not Xu Fengnian.”

"I'm Quezhou." Quezhou Yifan picked up the teacup in front of him and started drinking tea.

Buddha Tathagata thought of Xu Fengnian's strange behavior just now, "So, it is you who want to see the Buddha's head."

Quezhou Yifandu admitted: "Not bad."

Seeing Quezhou admit it, Shi Rulai continued to ask: "Then why did you appear on Xu Fengnian's body?"

Quezhou Yifandu had no intention of hiding it, "I am a different mind form from Xu Fengnian."

"What is your purpose?" Buddha Tathagata did not expect Quezhou Yifandu to admit it so readily.

"Same purpose as yours."

Emperor Tathagata suddenly said, "Saint Dharma Master, the host has already made tea, let's take a seat."

"it is good."

After the two of them sat down, Emperor Rulai took a sip of the tea in the cup, and the two completely different tastes in his mind turned into an exclamation, "What a good tea."

"This tea is made for you." Quezhou Yifandu refilled the tea for Emperor Tathagata and said, "I invited the Buddha here to get an answer."

Emperor Tathagata asked: "I wonder what answer you got, sir?"

Quezhou Yifandu replied calmly: "Clinging to the self, to others, to all living beings, are all false."

Emperor Tathagata smiled bitterly and said, "What a delusion. But unfortunately, I cannot let go of this delusion."

"Buddha's head..." Buddha Tathagata was hesitant to speak, not knowing how to enlighten him.

Quezhou Yifandu said calmly: "The monks' obsession comes from their original obsession with sin and indiscriminate killing, which then evolved into the obsession with the holy devil. It is the most tragic thing for a person who saves others to be unable to save himself."

Emperor Tathagata asked, "Sir, were you also a persistent person?"

“Observe as you observe yourself. Different people have different attachments. You cannot expect everyone to have the same attachments, so this evolves into disputes and even wars.”

Emperor Tathagata said: "So, this was once your obsession."

Quezhou Yifandu did not answer Emperor Tathagata's question, but asked: "Does the Buddha still believe that if you put down your butcher knife, you can become a Buddha right away?"

Emperor Tathagata pondered for a while and said, "I cannot answer this question now."

Quezhou Yifandu said in the same tone: "The difficulty lies not in the creator, but in the receiver. Forgiveness is letting go of oneself, letting go of obsession, letting go of hatred. But people have seven emotions and six desires, which also determines that everyone's future path is different. The word forgetting is easy to say. In the end, it is just deceiving oneself."

Emperor Tathagata asked: "Sir, have you realized it?"

"Not yet. If only it were that simple." Quezhou Yifandu sighed and continued, "The monk got the rhino horn that day because of fate, and regained consciousness because of the blood of goodness was also fate. And now, Hao Tianqiong's appearance in the world to Buddha is also fate. In this world, there are countless opportunities, some good and some bad. On the road of cultivation, practitioners have different opportunities, different mental states, and different concepts, and the results of their choices are also different."

“Just like the cup of tea in front of the Buddha’s head, the mood is different and the taste is different. But in the end, water is water and tea is tea.”

Emperor Tathagata looked at the cup of tea in front of him. The tea in the cup seemed to reflect itself. Finally, he let out a long sigh, "Alas~"

Quezhou Yifandu said: "It seems that the Buddha has the answer in his mind."

Emperor Tathagata closed his eyes and said: "I know the answer, but I can't save myself."

Quezhou Yifandu stood up and said, "In this case, Quezhou can only pray to the Buddha to enlighten himself."

The celestial flute sounded again, and the three people's consciousness returned to the Jixin Heavenly Cave from the waterless ocean.

Everything before seemed like a dream.

Only the missing boat and sail standing before the two of them can prove the truth of the vast ocean without water.

After this incident, Emperor Tathagata also woke up from his inner demons, "Mr. Quezhou."

Quezhou Yifandu stretched out a finger, tapped the center of Emperor Tathagata's brow, and said, "I will first remove this magic for the Buddha."

As the Buddha's power poured into Quezhou Yifandu's fingertips, the magic between Emperor Tathagata's eyes was broken.

Emperor Tathagata felt his eyes clear up for a while, and his eyesight returned to normal. "Thank you very much for your help, sir."

Before leaving, Quezhou Yifandu said: "For the rest of the journey, we can only rely on ourselves."

"Saint, please send Mr. Quezhou off for me." Seeing that Quezhou was about to leave, Emperor Tathagata asked the Saint to send him off. "Okay. Buddha, you should stay here and recover from your injuries."

"Ah."

After leaving the Jixintian Cave, Quezhou Yifandu and Sakyamuni walked in the wilderness one after the other.

After escorting them to a place ten miles away, the Buddha could not help but ask, "Could it be that even someone as capable as you are, cannot solve the problem of the Buddha's head?"

“You can just call me Quezhou.” Quezhou Yifandu asked the Buddha to not address him respectfully, and then said, “This is not a problem. It is the fate of the Buddha. Whether he becomes a demon or a saint depends on his own choice. Others cannot and should not interfere.”

Not wanting Tathagata to become a ghost, Shi Tathagata clenched his hands, "Is there really no other choice?"

At this time, Quezhou Yifandu's steady and gentle voice came into his ears, "Tianming, only by sticking to your heart can you walk this path steadily. If you are on the right path, how can you make a conclusion if you haven't reached the end yet?"

Buddha asked: "If it comes to the end, what should we do?"

Quezhou Yifandu explained: "The so-called end is sometimes just another beginning, a turning point. Some people get enlightenment in an instant, some people waste half their lives to see through it, and some people even spend their entire lives without realizing it. It all depends on oneself and on chance."

Buddha asked: "If you understand, can you save people?"

Quezhou Yifandu replied: "Even the Venerable Maudgalyayana, who is the most powerful person under the Buddha, could not reverse the fate of the five hundred Sakyamuni clans. Human power is limited. Even if one is strong, it is difficult to resist the will of heaven."

"In fact, the answer is already in your heart."

All the words were said, and white light flashed around Quezhou Yifandu, and Xu Fengnian returned to the dominant position.

“You’re back.”

"Yeah." Xu Fengnian twisted his neck to stretch his muscles and asked, "I wonder if talking to Quezhou will be helpful to you?"

Buddha admitted, "Talking to Mr. Quezhou did help."

Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "That's good. Remember, only by being firm and resolute can you free him. This is also what he wants you to do."

"Oh, I understand." Buddha Tathagata sighed with his head down.

Before Xu Fengnian left, he reminded them: "Remember, if you encounter an emergency, don't be stubborn, go to Xie Zun Dao, your mother and I will help you as much as possible."
-
In just a few days, the situation in the martial arts world has changed drastically. Yun Gu Lei Feng, who was formerly in charge of sentencing and punishment in Buddhism and was the highest standard in Buddhist precepts, was wiped out overnight by the last saint sect led by Hao Tianqiong.

The new Buddhist leader Wuhuo Dumi was not unprepared for Hao Tianqiong's arrival, and he specially prepared the Buddhist sacred artifact Sanju Fengsha in preparation.

However, the holy weapon was unable to break Hao Tianqiong's immortal body, and he was instead injured by the blood-red shuttle that Hao Tianqiong had used to stab him last time.

When Wuhuo Dumi was in danger of being seriously injured, Wusheng, Yu Shenfeng and Jing Canglang arrived in time and rescued him.

However, the Dalai Lama Seal, the symbol of power of the Yunguleifeng Buddha, fell into the hands of Hao Tianqiong.

With this item, Hao Tianqiong opened the forbidden area and obtained the magic weapon he had longed for, the sin-cleansing rhinoceros horn.

With the remaining monks at Yungulei Peak, Supervisor Sheng Amitabha risked his life to lead Foxing Zen out, and they were finally rescued by Ren Yunzong who came for the search and rescue.

After his injuries were healed, he sent the sacred Buddhist artifact, Buddha Xing Zen, to Dingchan Heaven in accordance with Emperor Tathagata's instructions before he stepped down.

However, two of the three old monks in Shuyin Pagoda were seriously injured in order to save Wuhuo from delusion. They were awarded the magical power of Tianqiongmiehuan and their bodies were never found.

The Master of Minghui Hall, King Fazhanglun, was captured by the Holy Tradition of the Last Days and used in exchange for Su Junqing who was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison of the Heavenly Dynasty.

There is a connection between the skills of Hao Tianqiong and his son Su Junqing.

It was also with the help of this method that Hao Tianqiong could clearly sense that Su Junqing was not dead.

Although they don't know what Zi Yao Tian Chao is up to, the Holy Legend of the Last Days still wants to save their Grand Master.

As for the remaining monks, such as Henglian Vajra, Liuchen Arhat and others, none of them were spared and all died.

After this battle, Yunguleifeng, the symbol of the highest Buddhist precepts, no longer existed in the world.

Once the news came out, Buddhism and the whole world were shocked.

It seems that the disaster of destroying gods in ancient times is about to happen again.

In this situation, in order to successfully kill the demon, Jing Canglang asked his two good friends, Xuanhuzi and Yidengchan, to come out and help.

Xuan Hu Zi, with the title "Feng Qian Shou Yue", is one of the three Hu in the Jade Purity Realm of Taoism, along with Zong Yan Lu Zhu Hai Chan Zun and Xian Yuan Fu Sui Zu Hong Jun.

Unlike his senior brother Hai Chanzun, who lurked in the Taoist sect as a member of the Li clan and did evil things secretly, Xuan Hu Zi was in charge of Fengzang Mansion in Yingzhou. He had a rather lazy personality and did not like to meddle in other people's affairs, but he was also a man who understood the greater good.

The Daoyuan Zhenmei that he practiced was one of the three greatest Yin Fire techniques in the world, on par with the Evil Fire Charm Finger and the Cold Flame Blood Palm. It was able to emit supreme Yin Fire with human power.

Yideng Chan was once the highest venerable monk of Yungu Leifeng, with the title "Three Paths Candle Sea", and later joined Yuesheng Mingluan.

Because he is peace-loving, easy-going but likes to meddle in other people's affairs, he is close friends with Jing Canglang and Xuanhuzi, who belong to the Confucianism and Taoism respectively.

The reason why Jing Canglang invited his two good friends to help was because they were both people with high levels of cultivation in Taoism and Buddhism.

There were five people in the holy war that day. Yu Shenfeng was the leader, Jing Canglang, Wuhuo Dumi and Jing Wuhuan belonged to three religions respectively, and there was also the lord of Yizong, Jiji Zhongliu.

Now, Yu Shenfeng has been resurrected, Jing Canglang, Xuanhuzi and Yidengchan represent the three religions. The position of being in the middle of the stream can be replaced by a Martial Saint who has equally profound martial arts skills, and the holy war of the past can be started again.

After exchanging Su Junqing for Fa Zhanglun King, the five of them headed non-stop to Yungulei Peak where the holy energy had disappeared, in order to catch Hao Tianqiong off guard.

Unexpectedly, the place was already empty.

The Holy Legend of the Last Days did not occupy this place. Instead, all members went into hiding temporarily. I wonder what their plans are.
