The gap between the three realms, the abyss of darkness.
Wutian sat cross-legged on the black lotus and suddenly seemed to notice something. He raised his head and looked in the direction of Nanzhan Buzhou.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and asked to the left and right: "Where is the Black Lotus Holy Envoy?"
The giant scorpion stepped forward and said: "For the record, Lord Buddha, the Black Lotus Holy Envoy went to the mortal world early this morning to inspect. According to the past situation, the Holy Envoy will not come back for another two or three hours."
Wutian nodded slightly, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Giant Scorpion did not dare to ask any more questions and stepped aside respectfully.
At this moment, a burst of noise came from outside the cave.
"Buddha! Buddha! You must uphold justice for us!"
Ying Yao staggered in while supporting the pale and obviously injured black-robed man, and knelt down in front of Wu Tian with a plop, his face full of grievance and dissatisfaction.
Giant Scorpion asked: "Ying Yao, what's going on?"
Ying Yao gritted his teeth and said, "It's not that Sun Wukong!"
"Is it related to the Holy Envoy?" Juscorpion was surprised.
"Yingyao, stop talking! I'm not as good as others, so I can't blame others!"
The black robe looked like he wanted to stop Ying Yao from continuing, but his attitude could already be seen from the moment he came in with Ying Yao.
This obstruction is nothing more than pretentiousness, or it would be more appropriate to say that it is a double act!
Ying Yao's eyes widened and he said: "This is not just your business! It is related to the great cause of Buddha, how could I not say it!"
She kowtowed three times to Wutian and complained: "Buddha, Sun Wukong relied on your favor to issue orders indiscriminately, disrupting all our hard work over the years."
"He also made all kinds of messy rules for us, not allowed to do this, not allowed to do that. If anyone dares to violate it, he will kill him. If he continues like this, before we can counterattack Lingshan, those monsters will be killed by him. It’s over…”
Shut up! ! !
The giant scorpion looked on anxiously, wanting to stop it but not daring to speak.
She didn't want to speak for the monkey, but she was worried about the black robe and Ying Yao in front of her!
Unlike Hei Pao and Ying Yao who travel around all year round, she stays with Wu Tian most of the time and is more familiar with Wu Tian's temperament and habits!
She has been keenly aware of the chill passing through Wutian's eyes, and the aura he exudes must have become gloomy!
Obviously, Wutian is already angry!
And not against the monkey, but against the black robe and Ying Yao!
She has known the black-robed Yingyao for many years and has a good friendship, so she wants to give them a hand.
However, Hei Pao and Ying Yao were filled with resentment and just wanted to sue the monkey, so they didn't even notice her desperate winks!
Ying Yao kept chattering about dressing up: "Hei Pao accidentally leaked some aura while practicing and poisoned some beasts and mortals. He wanted to punish Hei Pao with a stick. Hei Pao refused, so he took action to kill Hei Pao. He was seriously injured."
Although the black robe did not speak, everyone knew that he and Ying Yao had done all this together. He also cooperated with Ying Yao and coughed a few times, stooping even more to show the monkey's cruelty.
At this time, Wu Tian suddenly spoke, directly interrupting Ying Yao's words: "Have you been informed of the rules set by Wukong in advance?"
Ying Yao's voice paused, but he didn't dare to lie in front of Wu Tian, and said: "He said he did, but..."
Wutian ignored him and looked directly at the black robe: "Then why don't you want to be punished?"
"I...I..." The black robe grumbled, his mouth agape.
The giant scorpion was sweating profusely beside him, and he just wanted to rush up and knock the two monsters' heads open to see if there was any paste inside.
Wukong! Wukong!
The Buddha is calling Wukong!
Are you deaf or stupid? Can't you hear what this title means?
Fortunately, the black robe is not a fool. After "I" for a long time, he seemed to suddenly react. He threw himself to the ground, knocked his head heavily on the ground, and took the initiative to admit his crime: "This disciple's crime deserves death! Please punish me, Buddha!"
"Black robe!"
Ying Yao's face was full of disbelief, and he cried out: "Obviously it was the monkey who made trouble for nothing and injured you, you...ah!"
Before he finished speaking, two rays of purple light burst out from Wu Tian's eyes, shone on Ying Yao, and turned into a ball of purple flame, burning fiercely.
The surprise on Ying Yao's face soon turned into pain and ferociousness. He was twisting and struggling in the purple flames, wanting to beg for mercy, but he couldn't make a sound at all.
Her figure gradually began to disappear, but in a blink of an eye, only a palm-sized gourd remained in the purple flames.
It has been burned into its original form, and a thousand years of Taoism has been painted in one day.
The whole person in Hei Pao was dumbfounded and stared blankly at all this.
Until the group of monsters in the cave fell to their knees on the ground and shouted in unison: "Buddha, calm down."
He suddenly came to his senses and kept kowtowing his head "bang bang bang bang", but he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.
"alright."
Wutian stared coldly for a while, then asked the demons to stand up, and said calmly: "I said that the Black Lotus Holy Envoy is the same as me, and his orders are my orders. I don't want to say the same thing a third time. "
"I understand." All the demons kowtowed.
Only then did they truly understand the monkey's position in Wutian's heart.
"Black robe." Wutian shouted.
The black robe trembled and replied: "Brother...disciple is here."
Wutian said: "Because this is your first time and you know your mistake and can correct it, I will spare you this time. If there is a next time, you don't have to come back. Take the gourd, Plant it outside the cave."
"Yes." Heipao quickly agreed, took the gourd of Yingyao's body outside the cave, and planted it.
"Just step back."
Wutian waved his hand to dismiss the demons, and while waiting for the monkey to come back, he thought about what he had just done.
Beating the winning demon back to its original form is a deterrent.
He didn't let her soul fly away, and Xu Heipao planted her outside the cave door so that she could re-transform after a hundred years. This was grace.
And there is a winning monster outside the door, always warning, so there is no need to worry about any short-sighted person who dares to challenge the monkey's authority again.
Giving both kindness and power is the way to control your subordinates.
Wutian thought of the expressions of the demons just now, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Wu Tian values the monkey so much, not only because the monkey is a disciple of Saint Zhunti and the only Da Luo Jinxian under him, but more importantly, the monkey himself.
Temperament is one aspect.
On the other hand, Monkey's actions during this period were very much in line with Wu Tian's wishes.
Although Wutian wholeheartedly wants to seize the position of World Honored One and transform the Buddhist world, he only has a programmatic idea in his head and does not know how to implement it.
In the original time and space, Wutian occupied the Three Realms for thirty-three years. Not only did he fail to implement his idea of transforming the Buddhist Realm, he even failed to manage his subordinates, causing the Three Realms to become a chaotic mess of demons!
There is a reason for this thirty-three-year bet between Wutian and Tathagata, but more importantly it is because of Wutian himself!
To a certain extent, Wutian is the same as the college student in his previous life who had high ambitions but low abilities and wanted to change the world.
Before his black transformation, he was a simple and easy-to-deceive Kinnara Bodhisattva in Lingshan. Soon after his black transformation, he was defeated by the Tathagata and imprisoned in the abyss of darkness.
No practical experience.
Once you gain power, you will be completely confused.
In the end, it also became a negative teaching material to set off the wisdom of Tianting Lingshan.
But now, everything is completely different!
The addition of Monkey gave Wutian a Taoist friend with whom he could discuss and learn from each other.
He learned that combination of kindness and power just now from a monkey!
The monkey learned from Yang Jian!
Since deciding to join forces with Wutian to fight against Lingshan, Monkey is no longer limited to improving his own cultivation, but has also begun to work hard to improve other abilities.
Yang Jian, the judicial god in charge of the three realms, became the object of monkey learning and imitation.
In addition to Yang Jian, Monkey also learned the principle of hiding one's strength and biding one's time from Li Anran.
Nowadays, Wutian's forces have been hidden, just waiting to make a splash in the future.
If this continues, it’s hard to say what will happen when Wutian takes control of the Three Realms!
Not long after, a golden light surged in the void, rippling like ripples.
The monkey's figure appeared in front of Wutian.
Monkey naturally knew that the black-robed Yingyao had complained to Wutian, but he didn't take it to heart.
If Wutian doesn't even have this kind of courage, then it's better for him to escape early to avoid being dragged down by him!
Wutian did not disappoint him.
Before entering, he had already reached the Ying Yao planted outside the cave door.
"Wukong, you came back just in time. I have something to discuss with you."
Wutian waved his right hand, and a light curtain appeared in front of him.
In the middle of the light curtain is a wealthy family in the world. A middle-aged couple is holding a baby in their arms and smiling happily.
"The six-eared macaque was imprisoned in a celestial prison by the prison god because of Lord Wude Xing. The Tathagata did not come to rescue him for a long time, so he sent the dragon-subduing Arhat (Venerable Kasyapa) to come down to earth and be reborn in Nanzhan continent. "
"If my guess is correct, he should have given up using the six-eared macaque to play chess with me, and let this dragon-subduing Arhat be his new chess piece."
The monkey said: "What do you want me to do? Kill him in advance?"
Wutian laughed and said: "Wukong, don't make this joke with me again. Since I promised you that I will compete with Lingshan upright, I will not use such evil methods. How can it be that a mere Arhat who subdued the dragon can still fight the dragon?" Could he be your opponent?"
"That's natural!"
The monkey accepted the compliment unceremoniously: "Don't say there is only one Subduing Dragon, even with the Fuhu, my old grandson can do it with just one hand!"
The monkey added: "By the way, when I came back, I saw the Bull Demon King leading his troops to the North Sea. I heard that he was following the Jade Emperor's order to conquer the Jiao Demon King."
When it comes to this matter, Monkey's mood is quite complicated.
Going back five hundred years, he would not have believed that the Bull Demon King would one day follow the Jade Emperor's orders to conquer the Jiao Demon King.
All I can say is that things in this world are really unpredictable and unpredictable!
"The Bull Demon King is leading the troops?" Wutian was a little surprised.
The monkey hummed and said: "In order to save Red Boy, the Bull Demon King rebelled. After the defeat, he took refuge in the Heavenly Court. The Jade Emperor asked him to conquer the Jiao Demon King, probably because he wanted him to submit a surrender certificate to the Heavenly Court."
"It's not that simple."
Seeing the doubt on the monkey's face, Wutian explained: "The Bull Demon King used to be the mount of Saint Tongtian, who teaches Jiejiao, and the Jiao Demon King is a disciple of the demon master Kunpeng. His going to conquer the Jiao Demon King is not only their own business, but also the Jiaojiao behind their backs. Things with the Demon Master’s Mansion.”
"The Demon King is a disciple of the demon master Kunpeng?!"
The monkey opened his mouth wide and was stunned.
Wutian told him many ancient secrets during this period, so he naturally knew what the Demon Master's Mansion was!
But he never expected that Demon King Jiao would be related to the Demon Master Mansion.
"These sworn brothers of my old grandson are really not simple!"
The monkey's eyes narrowed and he sneered in his heart.
He became more and more certain that his rebellion against heaven was not as simple as it seemed, and there were many mysteries hidden behind it.
Wu Tianze continued: "I told you before that the gods and Buddhas of the three realms are afraid of the coming catastrophe, so they take the initiative to cause the catastrophe, hoping to turn it into a great catastrophe and eliminate the karma."
"To do this, a large number of living beings must be sacrificed! And these sacrificial living beings must also have great luck!"
"That's why they chose the human race in Nanzhan Buzhou and the demon race in Xiniu Hezhou. And in Beiju Luzhou, the only ones who are qualified to offset the karma are the demon masters who have inherited the legacy of the ancient demon court. Mansion."
"Heaven wants to take this opportunity to get rid of these remnants of the previous dynasty. I expected it, but I didn't expect Jie Jiao to be involved."
"Since the Conferred God List was destroyed, the Jiejiao disciples have regained their freedom, but their strength has also been greatly damaged. They have been unwilling to get involved in the disputes between the three realms. Now they have suddenly changed their attitude and want to join forces with Heaven to deal with the Demon Master's Mansion. It is really weird. .”
The monkey guessed: "Could it be that the Jade Emperor forced the Bull Demon King to go? Does Jie Jiao not know?"
"impossible."
Wutian shook his head and said: "If the Jade Emperor really does this, he will not be looking for helpers for himself, but for himself enemies!"
Wutian had long since broken free from Tathagata's seal and was hiding in the dark. He was well aware of many things in the three realms, including even the Tathagata's joint efforts with the great powers to deal with the catastrophe at the Bon Festival.
However, the fact that Jie Jiao defected to Heaven had just happened, and Wutian didn't know about it.
After some speculation, the two of them could only come to the conclusion that Tianting should have made some deal with Jie Jiao.
There is no way of knowing exactly how.
In comparison, the Demon Master's Mansion knew even fewer things.
When Heavenly Court deliberately concealed the truth and blocked Beiju Luzhou with Emperor Zhenwu, the Demon Master Mansion had no idea what happened at the Bon Bon Festival, let alone that it had been treated as a consumable by Heavenly Court to cope with the disaster.
The Demon Master's Mansion is like this, and the Demon King is even more like this.
When the Bull Demon King led his troops to surround the Jiao Demon King's cave, he was still in the back hall, drunk and dreaming with his wives and concubines.
It wasn't until he heard the little demon's report that he hurriedly put on his armor, picked up his weapons, and led his troops to meet him.
At the same time, in the Palace of Fushou and Longevity in the Heavenly Palace, the yellow scarf warriors were hurriedly preparing for the Danyuan Conference three days later.
In the Tianlao, Li Anran also learned from Yang Jian that he had convinced Zhen Yuanzi to attack Guanyin at the Danyuan Conference.
Li Anran was a little worried: "Second brother, the Demon Master's Mansion is not weak, and the Jade Emperor will definitely find as many helpers as possible. If he wants to bring Lingshan in, he will probably not offend Lingshan for the sake of Patriarch Hongyun."
"Lingshan will not get involved."
Yang Jian said with a firm tone: "Sage Zhunti was given a seat by the Demon Master Kunpeng in the Zixiao Palace. Lingshan will never take action against the Demon Master's Mansion unless it is absolutely necessary."
