Time is like a torrent, and the white horse passes through the gap.
At the end of the Journey to the West, Heaven and Buddhism were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
Because no merit has been accumulated, it is useless to measure the end of the tribulation.
Halfway through, Lin Xian was also thinking about his next plan.
This trip to the west will end with almost eight disasters, namely Qiu Yu in Fengxian County, Yellow Lion Spirit in Leopard Head Mountain, Jiuling Yuansheng in Zhujie Mountain, Jade Rabbit in Baijiao Mountain...
This Fengxian County is completely troublesome. It actually requires chickens to peck the rice mountains, dogs to lick the mounds of noodles, and candles to burn out the golden locks before it will rain.
Lin Xian smiled playfully when he thought that he had no apprentices to accept.
If you want to play with yourself, then I will play with you.
Lin Xian could obviously go around this Fengxian County, but he had already thought of some new tricks.
As for the yellow lion spirit in Leopard Head Mountain, he was originally a good monster. He ate meat and drank alcohol and had to spend money to buy it in the human city, but he suddenly wanted to steal weapons.
But this must be a Buddhist plan, otherwise how could a monster with such a good character do such a thing as stealing, so the yellow lion spirit must be taken away by himself.
Then there is Jiuling Yuan Sheng of Zhujie Mountain.
Zhennai is a mythical beast that existed during the Lich War. Its true form is just a nine-headed lion, and it is also the father of the yellow lion spirit.
However, these nine lions are the mounts of Master Taiyi.
Lin Xian's mind was spinning, and the nine-headed lion could be fooled to see if he could be fooled to his side.
After that, there are the three rhinoceros spirits from Qinglong Mountain.
These three rhinoceros spirits are quite strong and know some magical powers, but it is hard to say whether they are Buddhists or not.
If possible, Lin Xian would naturally want to accept them.
Then, there is the Jade Rabbit of Baijiao Mountain.
When thinking of the Jade Rabbit, Lin Xian will inevitably think of Chang'e.
However, during the time she was in the lower realm, Chang'e never showed up to take a look. Lin Xian had long classified her as untrustworthy.
After passing Baijiao Mountain, there are basically no apprentices left.
The Tongtai Mansion has resolved the case and resurrected the soul. The clone of the Taoist leader will appear at Lingyundu. After studying the scriptures at Daleiyin Temple, there is one last difficulty in the Tongtian River on the way back.
However, when Lin Xian passed by the Tongtian River before, he did not form a good relationship with the old turtle, so even if he followed the plot, the old turtle had no reason to throw him into the water.
And he has no intention of going to Tongtian River again.
What Lin Xian wanted to do was to take a group of disciples back to Tianhe for retreat after passing Qinglong Mountain.
After all, there will be no more disciples to accept from now on, and the reason why Lin Xian went to the lower world to the west was not to cope with the disaster. First, it was to complete the system tasks, and second, to accumulate merits and treasures.
After all, if you accept a disciple, you will gain merit, and if you make a choice, you will gain treasure.
This way of earning merit is much simpler than Zhunti and Jieyin working hard to plan a journey to the West for thousands of years, only to have it all come to nothing.
Looking at the entire journey to the west, there are only a handful of catastrophes that have been truly completed. The pool of merit in the hands of Zhunti and Jie Yin is probably only filled up. If they want to repay the karma they owe to heaven, it will definitely not be enough.
And if Lin Xian really arrived at Lingshan, what would the Buddhist sect and the Second Saint Society of the West think, and would they hand over the Tripitaka to him? Lin Xian naturally didn't know whether the Tripitaka could really save people.
Of course, if the catastrophe cannot be completed, how can Buddhism easily hand over the scriptures to itself?
The "loan" of the two saints has not yet been repaid, and Buddhism has not flourished, so many soldiers and generals have been lost.
So if you go to Lingshan by yourself, you may not be able to get out.
There are probably traps there waiting for them to jump. Once people like themselves are controlled, they will look for variables while erasing the memories of people like themselves, and then re-plan their journey to the west.
If this is the case, then wouldn't it be that all the hard work he had done during his journey westward, recruiting disciples, and establishing the Mie Tian Sect, was in vain?
"So, the risk of going to Lingshan Mountain is relatively high. It is better to wait until you have passed Qinglong Mountain, collected the three rhinoceros spirits, and then returned to Tianhe to retreat and let Buddhists search for them all over the world." Lin Xian thought to himself.
…
Lingshan, inside Daleiyin Temple.
While Lin Xian was thinking about his future plans, Tathagata rushed back from heaven again.
He was naturally sent by Maitreya to discuss the following disasters with Heaven.
"Reporting to the Buddha, Heaven has already taken responsibility for the disaster in Fengxian County." Tathagata bowed and said.
The disaster in Fengxian County itself is related to heaven, so the Jade Emperor cannot escape.
"Very good, Xiaolai is still very reliable in his work." Maitreya sat on the lotus platform, very proud and extremely arrogant.
Seeing that this time Maitreya actually praised himself and did not cause trouble, Tathagata secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but before he finished breathing, Maitreya continued to speak.
"However, you are too slow in doing things. You have made me wait for so long and you are getting impatient, so I want to punish you."
Sure enough, Maitreya was not so kind to let him go, he just wanted to find trouble.
The Tathagata raised his head, with an extremely ugly face, and said: "To the Buddha, I spent a lot of effort and presented a medium-grade innate spiritual treasure. Only then did I convince the Jade Emperor to cooperate with us. Otherwise, the Jade Emperor wouldn’t even be willing to help us.”
Because of the previous incident with the White Deer Spirit and the Mouse Spirit, it was naturally more difficult to get the Jade Emperor to help again.
After all, Tathagata had been scolded several times before, and then went in with a shy face.
However, Tathagata's cry did not elicit mercy from Maitreya.
After hearing Tathagata's words, Maitreya became even more angry, pointing at Tathagata and scolding: "Come on, fat man, you actually gave away a treasure like the innate spiritual treasure to heaven? Do you know that our west is already barren, don't think If you call me Duobao, you can distribute treasures everywhere, and those treasures are also part of my spiritual mountain."
"I'm mad at you. You deserve to be beaten. Eighteen...oh no, where are the Seventeen Arhats? I will take down Tathagata and give you five hundred punishments."
Maitreya shouted loudly, and the seventeen Arhats among the Buddhas walked out coquettishly.
"I'm sorry, Buddha, we are also following orders." Fuhu Arhat said in a dilemma.
"It's okay, I'll cooperate with you."
Tathagata looked ugly and took the initiative to lie down on the bench and accept the punishment.
After a burst of screams, Tathagata stood up with difficulty, his forehead covered with sweat. He looked at Maitreya, his eyes full of resentment.
He was very aggrieved.
After being humiliated repeatedly in the heaven, he shamelessly stopped talking and even gave gifts, which finally contributed to the disaster in Fengxian County.
And you, the fat man, are still looking for trouble to hit me.
Regarding this, Tathagata gnashed his teeth in hatred and made a rattling noise.
"Why, are you dissatisfied with my punishment?" Maitreya looked down at Tathagata with amusement in his eyes.
That kind of arrogant arrogance immediately aroused the anger in Tathagata's heart, which he had to suppress with great difficulty.
He was shaking, clenching his fists, and glaring at Miroku.
"Looking at you like this, haha... I asked you if you are convinced, but you don't even dare to agree. Why, do you still want to eat me?" Maitreya continued to provoke.
The next moment, Tathagata spoke.
"That's right, I just don't accept it."
