Zhang Chi has been a little busy recently.
He originally thought that he only needed to practice quietly on Luojia Mountain, chatting and spanking with Red Boy and Black Bear Spirit every day, and improving his medical skills. However, he did not expect that one time after Guanyin Bodhisattva returned from a trip, everything changed. It's different.
That time Guanyin Bodhisattva went out and was dragged away by Sun Wukong. Before leaving, he carried a basket and only wore the clothes he usually wears when resting. He didn't even put on a coat. He didn't know why Sun Wukong was in such a hurry.
Zhang Chi didn't have time to say hello to Sun Wukong this time. He only guessed that the other party might have encountered difficulties and wanted to save the master.
When the Bodhisattva came back, there was a golden carp in the basket, and he knew that the Bodhisattva had really helped to subdue demons. The Bodhisattva did not hide it either. The carp was originally from the lotus pond, and he secretly went to the Tongtian River to become a monster. He occupied the old turtle's cave and seized other people's daughters, which was very majestic.
Zhang Chi looked at the lively carp in the lotus pond, and said to himself that these things raised by Bodhisattvas and gods looked inconspicuous, but one or two of them would be big monsters that could bring trouble to one another once they arrived in the human world. It was really amazing.
In addition to helping Sun Wukong conquer the monsters, the Bodhisattva also brought back some not-so-good news.
Natural disasters have been rampant in the world recently, so I just need to relax and walk around the land of China.
The Bodhisattva said to take a walk and have a look. Naturally, it is impossible to really take a look. He still had the idea of letting Zhang Chi save lives and heal the wounded. Zhang Chi was just wondering, why are so many natural disasters suddenly appearing in the world?
Guanyin Bodhisattva obviously knew the whole story, but perhaps because the time had not come yet, he did not tell Zhang Chi clearly. He just told Zhang Chi with a solemn face that it should not be delayed. If he left earlier, the suffering in the world might be reduced.
Zhang Chi didn't know that the part Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't tell was also inseparable from his teammates, so he just accepted it and soon embarked on the road to save lives and heal the wounded.
The war in heaven still has an unstoppable and profound impact on the human world.
For example, the fall of the two righteous gods of water and fire, especially the death of Shui Dexingjun and Huodexingjun, directly caused the rains of the Rain Master and Sidu Dragon King to become chaotic, and fires occurred frequently in many places. And the failure of the Lord of the Five Directions to catch him caused the smallpox epidemic to break out in the world, which was already a terrible scene of devastation for all living beings.
The flow of time in heaven and in the mortal world is different. Zhang Chi does not know the relationship between the war in heaven and the natural disasters in the mortal world, but this does not prevent him from seeing the suffering in the world.
He didn't think much about it and followed Guanyin Bodhisattva's wishes and began to save lives and heal the wounded in the human world.
Although Zhang Chi is at the bottom of the team in terms of strength, to mortals he is a real great god. Whether it is flying in the clouds or mists or saving lives and healing the wounded, his ability is absolutely beyond the imagination of mortals in this era. Therefore, his reputation as a Living Bodhisattva quickly spread. Later, it was even said in many places that he was the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Of course Zhang Chi knew that he was not Guanyin Bodhisattva, just an outsider, but after all, he couldn't catch anyone to explain the Bodhisattva's existence, so in the end he just did his own thing quietly, and if others misunderstood him, just misunderstand him.
Guanyin Bodhisattva once reminded him not to run around alone outside, saying that there was turmoil outside. This time he came out, which was beyond his expectation. He didn't meet any gods, but he met a few fairies, but they were all mountains. The small and medium-sized demons were incompetent, and one or two of them were scared to death when they saw Zhang Chi, for fear that Zhang Chi, the great god, would take them away if he was unhappy.
So Zhang Chi was also wondering in his heart, what happened? How did the mortal world become like this?
Apart from goblins and ordinary people, the ones Zhang Chi saw the most were ghosts.
He is the only one, and even if he works non-stop day and night to save lives and injuries, the number of mortals he can save is limited after all. Moreover, fires and floods have occurred in many places, which cannot be completely solved by relying on his strength.
This resulted in many more people who died in vain in the mortal world and were too late to be taken to the ghost world, which made the situation of the living even more difficult.
Zhang Chi regretted not studying Buddhist sutras with Manjushri Bodhisattva. If he could recite sutras and achieve salvation, he might be able to help.
One day when he was rescuing people in a place where a plague was raging, he accidentally bumped into two men with a bull head and a horse face. Zhang Chi was shocked when he greeted them.
The young man in front of him had an ordinary face, but somehow he got the yin and yang eyes and could actually see himself.
Zhang Chi introduced himself to the other party and explained his relationship with Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the other party was relieved.
"Are there a lot of ghosts recently?" Zhang Chi asked them.
"More than just a lot." Niutou sighed, "The Ten Directions Yama Palace is already overcrowded, and there is a long queue in front of the Naihe Bridge. Yinzai is almost exhausted."
"Will there be any problem?" Zhang Chi asked.
"As long as there are no big problems in the six paths of reincarnation in a short period of time, then it shouldn't be a big problem." Ma Mian said, "But I'm afraid that too many people will die in the world. When reincarnation is interrupted, there will be trouble."
Zhang Chi thought about that scene and felt that it was indeed a bit scary, and then asked: "Do you two know why?"
"How do we know about this kind of thing, but I heard from Lord Yama before that he didn't know either. If you want to know the specific situation, you have to ask the Heavenly Court of Water and Fire and the Five Directions Lord Po Zhengshen. After all, the reason for this large-scale death is still because of this Get up." Niu Tou replied.
"We're pretty good." Ma Mian sighed, "The judge and Po Meng in the underworld are really busy. I'd rather take less people back now, so it can be easier there."
The two of them apologized to Zhang Chi, stopped chatting, and went to the underworld with a soul team of about a hundred people.
Zhang Chi smiled bitterly, looked at the mortal under him whose condition had gradually stabilized, and let out a long sigh.
Now he can finally understand how difficult it is to play the role of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Human beings are born with suffering, and it is not such a simple matter to save all sentient beings from suffering. Even a Bodhisattva will not be able to do so at all.
While Zhang Chi was saving lives and healing the wounded as a living Bodhisattva, the other members of the team finally came to a conclusion.
But it's not really good news.
Emperor Ziwei issued an order, hoping that everyone in the team could go and see him before deciding where to go.
This should be regarded as a disguised rejection of the team's request to leave on their own. However, Marshal Tianpeng's words were very polite, and it did not seem to force the team to do so. He only said that since Emperor Ziwei has a life, he should not embarrass Marshal Tianpeng. .
With Emperor Ziwei's life-saving grace to Wang Jianguo and Sun Jie in front of them, everyone in the team had a good impression of Emperor Ziwei. They also felt that they should give each other some face. It was really unjustifiable to leave without saying goodbye, so they agreed to go to Ziwei Palace to see each other.
But they still have to leave. Everyone doesn't want to be chained to the heaven like this all the time. They must know that their apparent identities still represent Buddhism. This may be one of the reasons why Emperor Ziwei has an ambiguous attitude towards them.
Marshal Tianpeng seemed to believe in the integrity of the team and did not send troops to "escort" them to Ziwei Palace. He only said that the mountains are high and the rivers are long, and there will be opportunities to meet in the future.
The team said goodbye to him and headed straight to Ziwei Palace.
As soon as everyone left, the entire Dongtianmen started to move. Under the order of Marshal Tianpeng, the army gathered again, and this time their target seemed to be the Biyou Palace not far from the Dongtianmen.
"I am lucky to have experienced such a magnificent event in my life." Liang Sicheng said.
"Old Wangtou, do you know what Emperor Ziwei wants?" Zhang Qi asked Wang Jianguo.
"Who knows what these people are thinking about when they are full all day long?" Wang Jianguo is a soldier, but he is undoubtedly a person who hates war. For the Ziwei Emperor who instigated the war, even if he had a life-saving favor, he would not What a good look.
"I have some guesses." Qi Zhen said slowly, "According to what Taishang Laojun said before, I am afraid that the understanding of the way of heaven between the two parties has deviated. I think Emperor Ziwei's idea may be closer to the lineage of Tongtian Cult Master. .”
"Then doesn't this mean that the essence of this war is still a struggle between two religions, and that Emperor Ziwei is the successor of the will of the Tongtian Cult?" Sun Jie asked.
"That shouldn't be the case. If that's the case, when Marshal Tianpeng came to Biyou Palace, why didn't he invite the leader to join the group? Instead, he advised the leader not to get involved?" Liang Sicheng asked.
"Perhaps they are afraid that Tongtian Cult Leader's status is too high, which will affect his right to speak?" Wang Jianguo asked.
"Do you think they would care about this kind of thing at their level?" Zhang Qi asked.
"I don't think it is much different from the struggle for power in the mortal world." Wang Jianguo said.
"I think there seems to be some information that we don't know, but at least from now on, Emperor Ziwei probably has no ill intentions towards us." Qi Zhen said.
"To be precise, we are not the main conflict he needs to face yet." Lin Biao corrected.
"I'm more concerned about what's going on with Nezha right now," Nuolan said.
"You are right. Yuanshi Tianzun's opinion is actually too important for this war. If Emperor Ziwei cannot overcome this hurdle, then everything is a fantasy." Qi Zhen nodded.
"But I don't think Yuanshi Tianzun can stop Emperor Ziwei from moving forward. At least from the information we have learned before, if we want the stability of the Three Realms, Yuanshi Tianzun has to hold his nose and admit it even if he is unhappy. "Liang Sicheng said, "Where can he get the troops to compete with Emperor Ziwei?"
"After all, there are still Taiyi Zhenren and the others, and everything is hard to say." Qi Zhen said, "And if Yuanshi Tianzun really stands up and raises his arms and shouts, will the heavenly soldiers and generals under Emperor Ziwei still be as obedient as they are now? ? This also needs to be a question mark."
"But there is no doubt that the Jade Emperor is really in trouble this time." Wang Jianguo sighed.
