After the Divine Tiger Kingdom removed its barrier that day, Avalokitesvara went to the underworld to look for Amitabha Buddha and Listening.
Avalokitesvara is the sound of the world. It can hear all the suffering in the world, but listening carefully is to hear everything in the three worlds without missing a thing.
The observing Bodhisattva could not figure out how the Divine Tiger Kingdom could avoid the trap set by the Heavenly Court, so he could only come to find out the truth.
Na Ting is the mount of Amitabha Buddha. One Buddha and one beast live in the underworld all year round. Most people cannot live in this environment. Let alone humans, even gods may not like to stay in such a place for a long time.
If we talk about the Ten Palaces of Yama and the Judge of the Underworld, they are their responsibilities after all. In the workplace, you will get used to being idle for a long time, but this Amitabha and Listening are different.
These two people took the initiative to go to the underworld, assigned themselves a position, and guarded in front of the Sansheng Gate. They didn't know what they were guarding.
It didn't take much effort for Guanyin to find them. After just a few words of greeting, she asked straight to the point. She was really curious about what the Divine Tiger Kingdom was about.
Unexpectedly, Di Ting couldn't explain it clearly. He only said that it was a magic weapon that helped the Shenhu Kingdom solve the crisis. However, there was no information about this magic weapon at all. He couldn't even explain what it looked like. It was called Guanyin. Big frown.
"Nowadays, the Divine Tiger Kingdom is becoming more and more mysterious. The fate of heaven and earth gathering in the Divine Tiger Kingdom is not a good thing for us."
Xitian wanted to settle in the Central Plains, which triggered a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, which led to the Westward Journey. However, because of the obstruction of the Shenhu Kingdom, the Westward Journey that was supposed to be a foregone conclusion ended hastily. The four masters and disciples of Tang Monk did not even reach the end. The whole western sky was scattered.
The Buddha's plan was completely shattered. Not only did he fail to subdue Sun Wukong, he also lost Zhu Ganghei in Gaolaozhuang. Even Monk Sha only escorted Tang Monk to the West and left. The scriptures that Tang Sanzang took back were not realized at all. due value.
In the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, Lingshan completely lost because of the additional variable of the Divine Tiger Kingdom.
But the Jade Emperor is a fatuous man who can't figure it out. Under his rule, the Divine Tiger Kingdom has shown no signs of rebellion for the time being, so he hastily started targeting the Divine Tiger Kingdom, moving faster than Lingshan. This made Guanyin want to wait and see what happens. It would be a great thing if the Heavenly Court could take care of the Divine Tiger Kingdom. In the Chinese proverb, it is like a dog biting a dog, and it can be said to be a good show.
It's just that the Divine Tiger Kingdom is a variable after all. The trouble the Jade Emperor caused for them was actually solved easily, which made Guanyin a little uneasy.
Regardless of the turmoil between the Divine Tiger Kingdom and the Heavenly Court, they are both forces in the Central Plains, and they are the inheritance of Taoism. Even if the True Lord Divine Tiger does not believe in Taoism, the Taoist sect is more popular than the Buddhist sect.
For them, the only outsider is Xitian.
The Central Plains has a vast land, rich resources, and endless fragrance. Xitian just wants a piece of the pie. But if he is directly expelled from the Central Plains, let alone a bite of food, he is afraid that everything he eats in his mouth will be spit out.
With all these twists and turns, Amitabha Buddha didn't understand why the Great Immortal Buddha was not a ghost or a spirit, but he looked like he was not in a hurry, laughing and telling Guanyin not to be anxious.
Guanyin's temperament is not very good. Although the world says that she is very compassionate and has created a gentle and elegant image for her, but throughout the whole journey to the west, apart from Monkey Sun who often hits people with sticks, she is probably the worst tempered.
When the four masters and disciples met, she was a little more easy-going towards Tang Seng and Sun Wukong. She was threatening Xiao Bailong, but she directly scolded Zhu Ganghui and Sha Seng. How could she suppress it now? My own anger: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, how can you not be anxious?"
"This journey to the west is very important, but it has failed. Although we can make other plans, if we don't get rid of this magical tiger, won't it be hindered again?"
"Our Western Heaven is no better than the Central Plains. It is originally a barren land. If we continue like this for a long time, aren't we just waiting for destruction?"
"The journey to the west has been planned for a long time, but it has been destroyed by the divine tiger. How many of us can prepare for the journey to the west? How should we deal with the divine tiger by then?"
"Needless to say, the Shenhu might want to deal with us first."
The more Guanyin talked, the more anxious she became. The more anxious she became, the more Amitabha laughed. Amitabha laughed heartily, and Guanyin became more and more anxious. It was really a vicious cycle.
"Nowadays, there is no information about the divine tiger. Even if I want to take precautions in advance, I don't know where to start."
After listening to Guanyin's words, Amitabha Buddha chuckled twice, lowered his hand to caress the head of Di Ting under the seat, and said slowly: "Why do we have to guard against that divine tiger? Didn't the Jade Emperor guard against it more diligently than us?"
Guanyin's eyes lit up, and she understood Amitabha's meaning instantly, but her expression dimmed immediately: "This time the Jade Emperor's plan did not succeed. With his temperament, I'm afraid he will have to settle down for a while."
"Heavenly Court is best at recruiting people and giving them a free post. Now, no matter what the Shenhu says, he is also the True Lord Shenhu who was canonized by Heavenly Court himself. If there is no fault, Heavenly Court will probably not take the initiative to trouble him again."
"What's more, you and I can both see clearly that Tianting's move this time is just to find an excuse for himself to take action. Now Shenhu has not fallen into the trap. Even if he is still dissatisfied, we have to think about it in the long term. We may not be able to fulfill our wishes."
"After all, the gap between Heavenly Court and Lingshan is even deeper. Once the Jade Emperor figures this out, I'm afraid it's not impossible to unite with the Divine Tiger to fight against Lingshan."
"Hehehehe," Amitabha Buddha still smiled as usual. He didn't say that Guanyin was right or wrong. He just smiled at Guanyin. "Heaven wants a reason, so just create one for them." It’s better for Lingshan to stay away from Heaven for the time being. When the time comes, it will be extremely urgent and I’m afraid Lingshan won’t be able to be burned.”
"You mean, we find a way to give Heaven a reason to send out the Divine Tiger?"
"The divine tiger is protected by luck, which blocks Ting Ting's prying eyes, but the Heavenly Court does not. The Jade Emperor does not act, and the Heaven Court is weak. Ting Ting can clearly see the situation on his side."
"The Jade Emperor was afraid of the Divine Tiger usurping the throne and wanted to get rid of the Divine Tiger. The Queen Mother came up with a plan and planned to create a random excuse to mobilize the troops, but was discovered by the Divine Tiger Kingdom. But this basic contradiction has not been resolved? Add a few more The firewood thing.”
Guanyin thought thoughtfully. The monarch of the Shenhu Kingdom was ambitious. Guanyin understood this deeply. Therefore, the Jade Emperor's speculation was not unreasonable. But if these conditions are true, then it would be just as Amitabha said. It's all about a few handfuls of firewood.
The fire must burn the Jade Emperor and cause him pain.
With his eyes turning, Guanyin had a plan in mind.
She was born with an exquisite heart with seven orifices, and was very intelligent and thoughtful. Many times she could understand everything with just one click. Otherwise, she would not be the Guanyin who rose and sat with Amitabha Buddha.
Guanyin can be compared to the general secretary-general under the Buddha. Her mind is not flexible and her methods are not bad. She fell into a misunderstanding just now. Now she understands what she wants to do and bids farewell to Amitabha immediately. Leave in a hurry.
Amitabha Buddha has been standing there watching Guanyin go further and further away. His eyes are smiling like two thin slits like crescent moons. The fat and smiley face has an incomprehensible expression, making it impossible to guess what he is thinking.
Di Ting felt the touch of the master above her head and said nothing, but she heard her master's voice sounding faintly, as if he was suppressing something, causing Di Ting to shudder.
"Listen carefully, things are really going to change today."
Don't even think about peace in this Western world.
With this thought in mind, Amitabha Buddha directed Tingting with a smile on his face and returned to the depths of the underworld.
He hasn't been back to Lingshan Mountain for a long time. The golden environment is really not suitable for him. The underworld is better.
Heaven is indeed at peace here.
No matter how much grudge the Jade Emperor has against the Divine Tiger Kingdom, he must suppress it.
Zhao Lei is the True Lord of the Divine Tiger who is professed by the Heavenly Court. It is not difficult for the Heavenly Court to deal with him. The difficulty is that Zhao Lei himself has no faults, so the Heavenly Court master has no name.
I wanted to force him to be charged before, but now his plan has failed. Although the Heavenly Court is superior, it still wants to eat the incense of the human world. I have to consider the people's hearts. What I did was too obvious. Some people below found clues and spread them among the people. They have no influence on the Heavenly Court. benefit.
This incense in the Central Plains is exclusively owned by the Heavenly Court. Lingshan tried to take part of it through the Journey to the West before but failed. But if the Heavenly Court itself shakes the people's base now, it will be difficult to guarantee that the power of the incense will not flow into Buddhism. Therefore, whether willing or unwilling, Heaven must stop.
No matter how angry he is, there is nothing he can do. Apart from throwing down a few jade tea cups to relieve his anger, he, the Jade Emperor, can't do anything now.
The Jade Emperor failed to achieve his goal and was suffocating in his heart. This obvious emotional change was noticed by all the officials in heaven, even Nezha, who was not sensitive to the Jade Emperor's emotions.
After getting off the Chao Nezha, he grabbed Yang Jian and complained: "What do you think happened to the Jade Emperor? The time the day before yesterday was inexplicable. He did not give rain to Shenhu Country and refused to let the rain stop. In the past two days, it has been inexplicable. What’s wrong with your temper?”
Yang Jian didn't pay much attention to the other words Nezha said, but he grasped the key point: "The Jade Emperor didn't give rain to the Divine Tiger Kingdom? And he didn't let the rain stop? When did it happen?"
"You don't know?" Nezha was also surprised, looking at Yang Jian with surprise and inquiry in his eyes, "It happened a few days ago. There has been a lot of commotion in the past two days, but you don't even know?"
How could Yang Jian dare to answer the question? The court meeting in Heaven was not held every day. He was just rushing to come back on the day when the meeting was going to take place. He had been running outside during this period. He really didn't know these things.
If you ask what he is running for, he doesn't plan to let Nezha know. Ever since he knew the specific whereabouts of his mother, Yang Jian's dissatisfaction with Tianting's squeeze has resurfaced. None of the recent escapes are beneficial to Tianting. thing.
Even if his power as a god is limited and he cannot shake the foundation of Heaven, he will still have to fight hard. If he does not die, he will have to leave Heaven completely.
There is really no need to tell Nezha these things. Nezha's family all serve in heaven. No matter what they do, they must take into account their family members. Unlike Yang Jian, he is alone and his only family member has been completely injured by heaven. He stayed in the Shenhu Kingdom with the Roaring Sky Dog, so he naturally had nothing to fear.
It is dangerous to contend with the heaven. Yang Jian is not afraid, but there is no need to tell Nezha, so as not to implicate him. Therefore, facing Nezha's inquiry at this moment, Yang Jian has no intention of facing it head-on. He was silent for a while, and then he composed his words before speaking. He replied: "I haven't been in heaven recently, and I miss my mother a little. I went to the mountain where my mother was sealed for a few days, and I don't know anything about this thing in heaven."
What he said was half true and half false. It was true not in heaven, but false in the mountains. But now that he said this, Nezha couldn't find out more. The mountain where his mother was sealed had nothing to do with the Divine Tiger Kingdom. Thousands of miles away, he himself didn't pay attention to the affairs of heaven, so it was normal that he didn't know about the rain.
Before Nezha could think deeply, Yang Jian spoke again and brought the topic back: "You just said that the Jade Emperor would not give rain to the Divine Tiger Kingdom and would not let the rain stop. What did he want to do? Destroy the Divine Tiger Kingdom?"
You must know that mortals are no better than gods. They are most afraid of these natural disasters. No rainfall is caused by drought, and heavy rains are not only floods. No matter which one it is, it can kill countless mortals. When Yang Jian thinks of his mother who was reincarnated in the Divine Tiger Kingdom, I felt even more angry.
The Heavenly Court targeted his mother and son like this, forcing them to separate, and forcing his mother to enter reincarnation. Now, even the reincarnation body was not spared. Yang Jian didn't know how many lives his mother had been reincarnated and how much suffering she had suffered. He could only treat the Heavenly Court The hatred of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother grew stronger and stronger.
"Who knows what the Jade Emperor was thinking. He has returned to normal in the past two days without any signs of any attack. It really makes people wonder whether the Jade Emperor will also suffer from epilepsy."
"You mean, the Jade Emperor suddenly stopped doing this again?"
"Well, how do I know this? I'm just guessing, but if the Jade Emperor didn't take back his life, then it couldn't be that the group of monsters in the Divine Tiger Kingdom stopped the rain that the Jade Emperor was about to rain, right?"
"That's true. Are there any casualties in the Divine Tiger Kingdom?"
"Speaking of which, it's strange. There have been severe droughts and floods, but the Divine Tiger Kingdom has not suffered any casualties."
Hearing that there were no casualties, Yang Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that his mother's reincarnation was not harmed. Thinking of the time he had lied to that reincarnation before, by now, the woman should be over a hundred years old, right?
If I die, I don’t know where I will be reincarnated again...
"Yang Jian, what are you thinking about?"
Nezha's voice brought Yang Jian back from his distant thoughts. He frowned and looked at Erlang Zhenjun beside him: "You are indeed a little strange. You always feel out of place."
"I'm thinking about something." Yang Jian could only answer Nezha dryly. He couldn't imitate ordinary people and say he hadn't slept, right?
Fortunately, Nezha didn't go into details. He tied Huntian Ling to the Qiankun Circle and immediately started playing while walking: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about you, but Yang Jian, I don't want to fight with you one day."
These words made Yang Jian frown. When he looked up again, Nezha had already walked a long way.
Yang Jian thought well. Nezha had to take care of his family. Unless his whole family betrayed Heaven, Nezha would not leave.
Nezha might have noticed something with his words.
Yang Jian stopped in place and looked back at Nantianmen. At this point, he could no longer look back, and he had no intention of looking back. Even if he became the enemy of heaven and earth because of this, he couldn't care less.
