The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 188: Emptiness means being free from all afflictions, etc., so when one dies, one dies.
"Tang Xuanzang, you..." The man in black robe was so frustrated that he couldn't speak.

"I am fine, there is no need for you to say more." Xi Mingzhang spoke slowly.

"Buddha, please look, Tang Xuanzang did it on purpose." The man in black robe clasped his hands together.

At this time, another light sentence came out:

"Oh, you are already so old, yet you are still complaining. I am speechless."

Suddenly, the man in black robe felt so angry that his chest felt blocked. He spoke word by word:

"Tang Xuanzang, you are going too far."

"Well, to put it simply, it was my fault that I was careless and did not take away the relics left by Randeng." Wutan waved his hand.

At this time, Ying Yao asked doubtfully:
"If the Buddha wanted to obtain the relics left by Randang, wouldn't it be enough for him to just cast a spell and capture Sun Wukong?"

"My thirty-three years of ruling the world is a fixed number. Once the time is up, Tathagata will come back." Wu Tian's eyes were deep:
"It is difficult to change destiny, but I want to change it, and I want to use Sun Wukong."

When the man in black robe heard this, he looked at Xi Mingzhang with a vigilant look and said:

"Buddha, this Tang Xuanzang is still here, the secret must not be disclosed."

Xi Mingzhang, however, just smiled and said nothing.

"It doesn't matter. Just based on what Xuanzang said in the Great Hall before, I know he is my fellow practitioner." Wu Tian said calmly:

"If Tathagata wants to regain control of Lingshan, he must rely on three treasures. One is the Dharma body of Tathagata's reincarnation, and the other is the seventeen relics of the ancient Buddhas of past generations."

The giant scorpion spoke in a doubtful voice:
"Seventeen relics?"

"From ancient times to the present age, there are a total of 17 relics of the ancestors of all Buddhas. These 17 relics were left behind when they passed away. If the 17 relics can be gathered in one place, they can seize the fortune of heaven and earth. No one in the Three Realms can stop it, not even me."

After Wu Tian finished speaking, Ying Yao also asked:
"What is the third treasure?"

"Sun Wukong."

"Sun Wukong is also a treasure?" asked the Black Lotus Saint Envoy in confusion.

Wu Tian said slowly:
"Not only is it a treasure, but it is also extremely important, because apart from him, no one else can find the reincarnation of Tathagata, and no one else can find the most important one among the seventeen, the boneless relic."

"What is a boneless relic?" asked the man in black robe.

"No one in the world has seen it, and I don't know about it. I only know that the boneless relic is the origin of all Buddhas. If we can't find the boneless relic, it will be useless even if we find the remaining sixteen relics." Wutan said in a calm tone.

"I guess that's the reason. That's why the Buddha neglected the relics left by Dipankara." The man in black robe said with understanding.

"Given Sun Wukong's character, he will never submit to us, so we have to use tricks to trick him into doing things for us." Wu Tian said.

Ying Yao continued:
"Disciple understands. Previously, the Buddha asked the Black Lotus Saint Envoy to pretend to be Guanyin to lure him to Lingshan. The Buddha then pretended to be Tathagata, hoping that he would go to look for the spirit boy and the boneless relic. After that, as long as the spirit boy is killed and the boneless relic is found, Tathagata will never be able to return to Lingshan."

"Pretty smart." Wu Tian nodded.

Ying Yao frowned and said:
"But now that Sun Wukong has seen through the Black Lotus Saint Envoy, what should we do?"

Wu Tian did not explain, but said:

"I underestimated Sun Wukong before. It seems that we must not use simple tactics to deal with him in the future. Also, you must be cautious when doing things in the future and cannot make any mistakes. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Several people accepted the order respectfully.

Then, the man in black robe looked at Xi Mingzhang who was sitting cross-legged beside him and said:
"Tang Xuanzang, since you are not Sun Wukong's master, you don't have a way to deal with him?"

Xi Mingzhang looked relaxed:
"I have always been simple and rough in dealing with him. If he is stubborn and refuses to change, I will just recite the spell and he will admit his mistakes."

Hearing this, the man in black robe said without even thinking:

"Then you can teach us the Tightening Curse, so that we can subdue Sun Wukong and make him work for us!" "Why don't you say anything? Do you have something to hide?"

Xi Mingzhang raised his eyes and said inexplicably:
"Brain is a good thing. I really wish you had it."

"You" Before the black robe could react, the Black Lotus Saint Envoy beside him pulled his robe and whispered:

"You have never dealt with Sun Wukong. The sutra hoop on his head disappeared when he became a Buddha."

Hearing this, the man in black robe stood stiffly where he was.

Xi Mingzhang sighed:
"Master monk, if you rely on them, even if you have the most thorough plan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to avoid mistakes."

“Tang Xuanzang, stop being sarcastic here. I’m just…” The man in black robe was speechless.

Xi Mingzhang smiled and said:
"But what? But the situation is unclear, so ignorance is not a crime?"

"Why are you so arrogant? Since we are all mediocre, how can you get Sun Wukong to do things for us?" the man in black robe said sarcastically.

Xi Mingzhang turned a deaf ear to him, looked at Wu Tian, ​​and said:

"Master, I just heard you say that if Tathagata wants to return, he must rely on three treasures. Judging from the Buddhist verses left by Tathagata, he also wants to rely on Sun Wukong."

"In that case, why not just beat Sun Wukong to death?"

"Let's just lift the cauldron. How can he find the seventeen relics just by relying on the reincarnated spirit boy? Even if the Tathagata's true spirit is revived in the spirit boy's body and his former magical powers are restored, what can he do?"

"How can he be a match for the great monk when he has not obtained the seventeen relics?"

His eyes were filled with confusion:

"I really don't know why you make things so complicated when there is clearly a most relaxed and simple method."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall became strange, and indescribable expressions appeared on the faces of all the demons and monsters, even the four guardians were no exception.

He casually told someone to kill his disciple. Is this the so-called compassion of Buddhism?

They couldn't help but realize that there was a reason why they were treated like rats crossing the street and were hunted down by gods and Buddhas in the past.

Wu Tian was silent for a while, then said:

"Xuanzang, what you said is only a temporary solution. Even if Sun Wukong dies, Tathagata can still rely on the reincarnated spirit boy to find the seventeen relics. What if, by chance, he finds the boneless relic?"

"So, even if we do this, we can change the fixed number of thirty-three years, but the general trend will remain unchanged. In this way, even if Tathagata is in the dark and we are in the light, sooner or later, Tathagata will return to Lingshan."

"So I plan to completely resolve the issue of Tathagata within these thirty-three years."

"Really? I hope you won't regret it."

Xi Mingzhang didn't care. He had no intention of telling Wu Tian that Sun Wukong was the boneless relic, because good words could not persuade a damned ghost.

"The Buddha has boundless power and knows the Three Realms. How can we regret it? "We want to dominate the Three Realms for thousands of generations. If we keep fighting with Tathagata, we will really miss the big thing."

The man in black robe looked at Xi Mingzhang with a mocking expression:
"How can a vicious and cruel person like you know the great cause in our hearts? You just kill the disciple who once protected you. You are a Buddha."

Xi Mingzhang's expression remained calm, and he said lightly:

"I say that all things that are born from causes and conditions are empty. This is to break the view of the stubborn self and see the world as empty. In this way, you can transcend death."

"Humph, monks just like to play some vague tricks. You think the life and death of others are so unimportant." The black robe said disdainfully:

"Let me ask you one question. If life and death are nothing, what would you do if you were faced with a life or death situation?"

Xi Mingzhang smiled faintly:
"Emptiness means being free from all defilements, etc., and one will die when one dies."
