"Isn't the Jade Emperor the Lord of the Three Realms? What laws of heaven did he break when he came down to earth?" Zhang Ren was indeed a little stunned when he heard the word "Yang Jian". But at this moment, seeing Master Sanzang looking towards him, he said, "Even if it is a crime, Tiantiao, can't you just send yourself a decree to patrol the lower realms?"
"Master, don't worry about what the Jade Emperor did when he came down to earth. Even if he wanted to be a monster, wouldn't the Queen Mother follow him?" The Great Sage said with a smile: "I think he just got tired of staying in the palace, so he came out to get some fresh air and came down to earth for a private visit. It doesn’t matter for a moment, that old man sits high in the nine heavens and doesn’t know the sufferings of the human world. Now he is traveling in the human world. It’s not a bad thing, it’s not a bad thing.”
Bajie hummed at the side and said something shocking, "Don't be a Manjushri Bodhisattva again. He clearly concealed his identity and descended to earth. He offended people first and blamed them for rushing into him. Then he turned around and caused disaster. I think he might as well just live in peace." Sitting in the Lingxiao Palace, you don’t have to come down to earth to cause trouble to others.”
After hearing this, the Great Sage immediately agreed: "This is true, the Jade Emperor is always a small-minded person."
Zhang Ren seemed to have something to say, but in the end he didn't say much.
"Amitabha." Fahai recited the Buddha's name and said, "Bajie, Wukong, if there is no solid evidence for such slanderous remarks, it is better not to make false claims."
After listening to the master's words, the two of them immediately settled down. The Great Sage also asked about the identities of Mr. Ziyu and Ranger Zhang Ren. The two exchanged gifts and became acquainted by name.
The Great Sage knew that the two of them were not monsters, and they had a pleasant conversation with the master here, so he knew that the two of them were not evil-minded. Otherwise, they would have been captured by the master long ago before he returned.
After some words, everyone dispersed.
Bajie prepared the fast meal, and even Mr. Ziyu and Ranger Zhang Ren also participated. They didn't want to eat at first, but seeing that Fa Hai and others were eating with gusto, they stopped excuses and ate together.
Needless to say, Bajie's craftsmanship was such that even these ordinary vegetarian dishes had magical effects in his hands, which attracted Mr. Ziyu and Zhang Ren to praise them repeatedly, and each of them ordered a large bowl of extra food.
After everyone had eaten, they went to find water to wash their dishes; Wu Jing recorded what everyone had said one by one; Fahai sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest; Wukong and Xiao Bailong went to the mountains to discuss digestion. Zhang Ren also followed out with his sword in hand.
Mr. Ziyu's expression was more solemn. It seemed that after listening to everyone's words, he thought that changing the current situation of Chechi Country was not as easy as imagined. After all, the three national masters had ensured that Chechi Country had good weather for twenty years.
To put it bluntly, except for Taoist priests who practice the Five Thunder Methods, no one else in the Three Realms dares to say that they can ask for rain.
This matter is quite difficult.
Mr. Ziyu was also a man of action. As the saying goes, a sight is better than a hundred words. He actually stood up immediately and said to Fa Hai, "I want to take my leave first since I want to travel around the country of Chechi."
"Sir, it's already getting late. Why don't you rest one night and start again tomorrow?" Fahai tried to persuade him to stay. In fact, he still had some Confucian knowledge that he wanted to ask for advice. Confucius's words were subtle and profound. Whenever he savored them carefully, he would There will always be new insights.
Many of the true meanings are connected with Buddhism, and Fahai has benefited a lot.
Although Fahai believed in Buddhism, he also respected other "sages".
"I've been listening to everyone talk for a long time, and I just feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles. I think there are many believers in the imperial city. I'm new here. If I open a school hastily, I might get twice the result with half the effort. I want to go among the people. Let's first see what the folk customs are like in Chechi country. Mr. Ziyu raised his hands to Fahai and said, "I've been bothering you all for a long time. We'll meet again when we are destined. First of all, I wish the master a successful journey to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures."
Mr. Ziyu stood up, inserted the Analects of Confucius into his waist, and took out a pen and a page from his sleeve. Fahai looked at it curiously, not knowing what he was going to do.
Just when he was doubting, he saw an awe-inspiring literary aura surrounding Mr. Ziyu, which was aroused by the brush at his fingertips. The literary aura flowed with the brush strokes, leaving three big characters "Like the Moon" on the page.
The pages of the book shine like the moonlight, causing brilliance in the dark night.
Mr. Ziyu raised his hand, and the pages of the book floated above him, illuminating the path ahead.
"This is?"
"This is the family teacher on fire
The literary and Taoist magical powers pioneered in Yundong are now a small matter. In addition to spreading literature and religion in Hezhou, Xiniu, there is another important matter, which is to spread this method of literary and Taoist practice to literary students all over the world. "Mr. Ziyu said with a smile: "The master is an eminent monk, Xiao Ke said it bluntly. After all, the power of Taoism and Buddha is great, and the power of evil spirits is deceitful. How can ordinary people compete with it?"
"The emperor has the luck of the country, and the warriors have their own blood and courage, but what about the world's literati? In the past, there were those who also practiced Taoism, and there were also those who practiced military armor, but now." Mr. Ziyu's whole body is covered with pure white. The aura of awe-inspiring flow, "cultivate a breath of aura of awe-inspiring Confucianism, you can ward off all evils, and be protected from all evils."
There was a lot of commotion here. The Great Sage, Little White Dragon and Ranger Zhang Ren from the back mountain also rushed over and saw the scene in front of them.
"I'm going somewhere."
Mr. Ziyu stepped away.
"Sir, wait for me!" Zhang Ren called out urgently from behind, leaving Master Tripitaka and his disciples behind, and chased after Mr. Ziyu. As he left, he shouted: "This trip is difficult, there are many snake gods. Sir, a humble gentleman may not be able to guard against evildoers, so it is time for someone to protect you."
But at this moment, Fahai didn't know why, but a thought suddenly appeared in his mind: If the human race can spread this method, the gods and Buddhas will disappear and no longer enter the human world.
"Amitabha."
Fahai recited the Buddha's name and was suddenly shocked: "No! Why don't you know this? Before coming to this world, I had never seen this Confucian spirit spreading among the human scribes? What is the problem?"
Could it be that Mr. Ziyu failed to preach?
It is impossible for gods and Buddhas to not see what they are aware of. Will they allow culture and religion to flourish in the human race?
Do Taoists and Buddhists really ignore this?
The dispute over the religious lineage is one that Sanqing and Buddha don't care about. How can those human beneficiaries sit idly by?
He then thought about it, since Mr. Ziyu was ordered to descend to earth by Kong Sheng at the request of the Jade Emperor, what role did the Jade Emperor play in this? What is the position of heaven?
Fahai never expected that he would just meet a gentleman in an abandoned temple, and after a few casual conversations, he would almost be involved in such an incident. Fahai immediately suppressed the panic that was about to arise in his heart. This matter was not a trivial matter and he could not get involved easily. The most important thing at the moment was to go to Lingshan first.
Their master and apprentice watched Mr. Ziyu and Ranger Zhang Ren leave one after another.
The great sage said from the side: "Master, that ranger is very powerful. Although I was just sparring, I found out that his abilities are not inferior to those of his disciples. Especially with his huge strength, even his disciples are definitely not as good as him. If he were to fight in a real fight, , the outcome is unpredictable."
In fact, it stands to reason that in this abandoned temple in the wilderness, it should be a strange thing to encounter a ranger whose skills are not inferior to Wukong, but Fahai feels that there is nothing surprising at this moment.
Because the ranger was not a mortal. Otherwise, when I used Ksitigarbha Dharma Eyes to look at his true form, why did I find nothing?
Of course, it is also possible that he is just like Mr. Ziyu, and what he manifests is his true body.
At this time, Xiao Bailong said from the side: "Master, I can see clearly from the side that Zhang Ren does not practice Buddhism or Taoism, and has no power in his body. He only has a lot of blood and energy in his body. I don't know how he cultivated it." body. The sword in his hand is not ordinary. When it clashes with the golden cudgel of the senior brother, there is no sign of loss. And his moves are majestic, and he can stir up the spiritual energy with a swing of the sword. Master, you are well-informed, can you know where the three realms are? Is there such a heritage anywhere?"
Now I really asked Fa Hai. Listening to Xiao Bailong's words, this piece of Ren can practice martial arts that are similar to ordinary human martial arts. It is said that during the Conferred God War, Huang Tianxiang was the one who practiced human martial arts to the extreme. He was also the only one at that time. One by one, he defeated the immortals as mortals, but even so, he was eventually killed by the evil spells, and was later awarded the title of Tiangang Star among the officials of the Big Dipper.
Fahai couldn't guess the origin of Zhang Ren for a while, but he had a general direction: if Zhang Ren's manifestation was not his true body, but he used magical power to cover it up so that he could not see his origin, then he would probably It was the Jade Emperor who came down to earth for a private visit in disguise.
In this case, it makes sense for him to follow Mr. Ziyu.
After all, this trip is
He had invited the people here to offend the gods and Buddhas, so he naturally had to take good care of them. Otherwise, he would offend the sages of the human race who lived in seclusion in Huoyun Cave, which even the Jade Emperor might not be able to handle easily.
No matter what kind of turmoil this Wen Yiwu's entry into the world will bring to the three realms, their master and disciples cannot be blocked by this small country of Che Chi.
The next day, the sky brightened.
The master and disciples had already packed their bags and were heading to the capital of the Chechi Kingdom. They were about to meet the three great immortals in the country.
