"I can't tell you who He is, because the saints paid a huge price to make most of His consciousness fall into a deep sleep. If His true body is mentioned, it may be sensed by Him and completely awakened. .”
Hearing this, Li Daoxuan's heart trembled.
Mentioning the name, or even just telling the relevant information, may completely wake him up. It turns out that this is the reason why Taiqing Tianzun did not tell him the truth.
This also means that the enemy he went through so much trouble to kill, and even almost had his body taken away from him, was just a weak clone?
In an instant, the joy he had just harvested from the Lei Zu Bao Sutra was gone.
"What I can tell you is that the saints did anticipate the difficulties faced by the gods and Buddhas in advance. The reason why they watched the gods fall was not because they were ruthless, but because... this may be the only way."
The Empress in Tsing Yi who has become a Buddha seems to be aloof. In fact, in the face of Li Daoxuan's plea, she has tried her best to tell many secrets one by one without affecting the overall situation.
"You have already noticed some of the arrangements, and you are not aware of some of the arrangements yet, but I can guarantee that the actions of the saints are also done out of necessity."
Li Daoxuan thought of Lao Tianshi, Li Shimin, Wu Ruyi, and Senior Sister Taizhen. He had already noticed these arrangements, so...
He looked at the empress in green, his eyes flashed, and said: "Empress, the reason why you calculated that I was in danger at Lingshan and became the Buddha was also the layout of the saints?"
The empress in blue remained silent.
Not speaking is an answer in itself.
Li Daoxuan finally understood that it was no wonder that with the empress's ability, such a major mistake would occur. Behind it was the saint who was adding fuel to the flames.
It's ridiculous that he still thought it was the Lingshan monster.
He couldn't see through the situation laid out by the saints at all. He just felt like a small boat in the stormy waves. He could only drift with the current, and he was in danger of capsizing at any time.
What Li Daoxuan didn't know was whose chess piece he was?
He didn't like the feeling of being manipulated like a puppet, but after practicing Taoism for many years, he was no longer the irritable young man he was before, and his joy and anger were no longer tangible.
If you are weak, you are destined to be a chess piece.
Instead of protesting loudly, it is better to practice silently and work hard to become stronger.
The Empress in Tsing Yi seemed to notice his unhappiness and sighed: "Some things are destined to happen after all. And if I can become a Buddha, it means that the layout of the saints is correct. Otherwise, do you know what the world is like now?"
Li Daoxuan was slightly startled.
"If the "The Thirty-seven Sutras Said by the Buddha" spreads, once anyone with the ability recites it, his spirituality will be swallowed up by the spiritual mountain. Thousands of people will gather together, and eventually he will wake up from his slumber. Then everything will be lost.”
Under the overturned nest, there are no eggs left.
After hearing what the empress said, Li Daoxuan finally understood why he would help Li Zhi ascend the throne. In the end, he only made one request, which was to spread the "Buddha's Thirty-Seven Classics".
Fortunately, Li Zhi seemed to be soft, but in fact he was mature and resourceful, so he didn't let him succeed.
"By the way, my dear, why did the Great Sage suddenly help me?"
Li Daoxuan was not surprised by Xuanzang's return. The empress must have helped, but the great sage seemed to be dead, so how could he appear in the Tang Dynasty?
Qing Yi said lightly: "It's just a little trick. Wukong in this world has died in the eternal night. The one who helped you was summoned by me from a thousand worlds. He was supposed to become the fighting Buddha of Buddhism. Unfortunately, because Yong Ye died on the way to seek scriptures.”
Li Daoxuan's heart moved, the whole world?
The Buddhist scriptures say that there are three thousand worlds in the world.
A thousand small thousand worlds are one thousand worlds; a thousand middle thousand worlds are one big thousand worlds.
The meaning of the empress may sound a bit convoluted, but to explain it in the words of later generations, she summoned the great sage who had already embarked on the path to obtain scriptures in a parallel world similar to the Tang Dynasty.
In that world, Eternal Night seemed not to have occurred in the Southern Dynasties, but later, in the Tang Dynasty, which happened to be when Xuanzang was studying for Buddhist scriptures.
Li Daoxuan was shocked by this magical power of his empress, and at the same time he was also keenly aware of something.
"Empress, the three thousand worlds... have all experienced eternal night?"
The empress in green didn't say anything, but her eyes revealed a look of unbearability, as if she was seeing the remains of living beings floating in the boundless sea of suffering.
After a long time, she spoke slowly.
"There were firsts and lasts, in different forms, but without exception, they all encountered disaster."
Li Daoxuan suddenly took a breath of air and became even more wary of the existence behind the scenes.
"However, this world is the cause of all worlds. It is the head of the three thousand whirling stars. If you succeed in this world, you can be transcended in other lives."
Li Daoxuan took a deep breath and nodded silently.
At this moment, he felt the weight of the responsibility on his shoulders. If this world failed, would it mean that other worlds would also fall into despair?
"You don't have to worry too much. After this battle, although my true body cannot leave the Lingshan Mountain, I no longer have to seal the six senses to resist the erosion of the Lingshan Mountain."
Although it was only a wisp of clones that was killed this time, it made her situation in Lingshan much better.
"Fellow Taoist, please extend your right hand."
Although Li Daoxuan didn't know the reason, he did what he said.
The empress in green stretched out her right hand and touched Li Daoxuan's palm, palm to palm.
It feels warm and soft to the touch, like the finest jade.
A vast Buddha's power surged into Li Daoxuan's palm, but it was not harsh, but as soft and gentle as moonlight. Finally, a swastika pattern was formed on his palm, with a faint golden light flowing.
The empress in green took a long breath, and the thirty-three layers of Buddha's light blooming around her became dimmed. Obviously, this move consumed a lot of mana for her.
"With this seal, no matter where you are in the world, as long as you silently recite my Buddha's name three times, you can call me to help."
This Buddha seal is equivalent to a mark. Those who hold this seal should be protected by Arhats, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas. They can also recite the Buddha's name silently, call the Buddha's attention, and even help.
At that time, Tathagata Buddha had ten true disciples, but none of them received such treatment.
Li Dao
But it is a pity that the Tathagata has passed away and the severed hand has been used. From then on, Xuanzang's Buddha Seal has no use.
However, Li Daoxuan's swastika seal was given by the new Buddha. It is a treasure and its value is immeasurable.
"Mom, is there a limit to the number of times?"
Qing Yi shook her head, and seeing the joy on Li Daoxuan's face, she added: "I still need to practice quietly, so I shouldn't be too distracted."
All right……
Li Daoxuan was slightly disappointed, thinking that just like Qing Mingling before, he could chat with his empress at any time.
"By the way, empress, what is your Buddhist name?"
Qingyi lowered his eyes like the moon, holding the Bodhi Seal in his hand, sitting upright on the lotus platform, his eyes were compassionate, as if he heard the suffering of all living beings, and a bright moon suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.
Anyone who looks at this moon will have their troubles gone, purity will arise, wisdom will be perfect, and they will be able to overcome the wandering waves.
She didn't say a word, but Li Daoxuan was suddenly enlightened, and her Buddha's name emerged, like a wake-up call and an enlightenment.
Namo Lotus Flower Buddha in Tsing Yi Purdue Moonlight!
At this moment, Li Daoxuan suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
Although the empress is right in front of me, she seems to be very far away from me, even farther than the bright moon.
In a daze, he truly realized that the empress had become a Buddha.
After Eternal Night, the first Buddha in Lingshan.
"Fellow Taoist, you are upset."
The empress in green bowed her finger, and Li Daoxuan's figure automatically flew back to the ninth-grade golden lotus of merit. The lotus leaves were fluttering, and she followed the instructions of the Buddha to bring Li Daoxuan back to the human world.
"Wait a minute!"
Li Daoxuan suddenly shouted: "Mother, when I go back this time, I am going to get married to Sister Yu!"
He stared closely into the eyes of the empress in green, but found that when the other party heard these words, there was no fluctuation. She was as calm as the green lantern of the ancient temple in Lingshan, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years.
"Ziyu is obsessed with you, and that's right. Don't betray her. You must cherish the person in front of you."
"This was a gift from you, so please treat it as a wedding congratulations to you."
A radiant fairy dress appeared in Li Daoxuan's hands. It had a faint purple aura and seemed to be woven with sunset. It was extremely impressive.
Top grade spiritual treasure, Zixia Fairy Clothes!
As Li Daoxuan's heavenly reward for killing the Five Evil Elders, he gave this dress to the Empress in Tsing Yi, because he saw that the Empress always wore Tsing Yi, which remained unchanged for thousands of years. Although she was as elegant as a fairy, it was inevitably monotonous.
At that time, he had also imagined how stunning the empress would be if she put on this purple rosy fairy dress.
It's a pity that time has changed, fate has played a trick on people, and the empress has become a Buddha. After all, she has no chance to wear the purple cloud fairy clothes.
Li Daoxuan did not hold back, he stretched out his hand a little, and the Zixia Fairy Clothes flew back again.
"Mother, there is no reason to take back the things I gave away."
"I will convey your blessings to Sister Yu..."
Li Daoxuan felt a little sour in his heart. He took one last deep look at the green lotus-like Buddha figure under the ancient Bodhi tree, and then bowed down.
The ninth-grade golden lotus of merit bloomed with brilliance and took him away, turning into golden light and returning to the human world.
The treasured land of Thirty Thousand Miles of Lingshan gradually returned to calm, with only one person left in the tree.
The Queen in Tsing Yi looked at the Zixia Immortal Clothes in her hands and lowered her eyes without saying a word.
The wind blows and the trees move.
In the bodhi tree, a vicissitudes of voice slowly sounded.
"Buddha, your heart is moved."
The empress in green put away her purple haze fairy clothes, formed the bodhi seal with her hands, lowered her eyes and closed her eyes, her treasures were solemn, and she slowly fell into meditation, and her slightly fluttering blue hair gradually calmed down.
…
In the human world, when Li Daoxuan just woke up, the first thing he saw was Chen Ziyu who was guarding him.
She held one of his hands tightly and kept inputting her incense power. Although she knew it would have no effect, she still persisted silently.
Xuanzang, Lu Lusheng, Taiwei and Yan Chixia also stayed by Li Daoxuan's side.
The moment he saw Li Daoxuan wake up, Lusheng's eyes narrowed and he shouted: "Goddess, be careful, maybe he has been possessed!"
However, Chen Ziyu smiled and just looked at Li Daoxuan, completely letting down her guard and confirming that it was him.
Because she had lost too much incense power, her face turned pale, and even her lips lost color. But she, who had always been cold and charming, was smiling very purely at this moment, and her clear eyes were full of his shadow.
"You must cherish the people in front of you."
For a moment, Li Daoxuan seemed to remember the empress's words again.
He finally made up his mind.
"Sister Yu, I saw the empress. Thanks to her, I was not possessed."
Chen Ziyu was startled for a moment, then asked with concern: "How is Master? Is he injured?"
In her world, there is only room for two people, one is Li Daoxuan, and the other is Master Qingyi Empress.
Li Daoxuan shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the empress is fine. She has become a Buddha, but she can't leave Lingshan for the time being."
Chen Ziyu felt relieved.
Li Daoxuan looked at her cold and gentle face under the moonlight, with icy muscles and jade bones, and picturesque features, like a fairy from Guanghan or a witch from Luo Shen.
"Sister Yu, I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
"I told her that I was going to marry you, and the queen agreed."
Chen Ziyu was stunned for a moment, showing a hint of confusion at first, and then she woke up. Her water-cut eyes seemed a little dizzy, as if she was drunk.
At this moment, the cold and noble Xiaoxiang Goddess, the Holy Maiden of the Green Underworld, seemed to be under the spell of an enemy, and her voice stammered.
"You, you said...get married?"
After seeing Li Daoxuan nod, her eyes suddenly lit up, like stars in the sky, staring at him blankly.
She had been waiting for this sentence for too long.
She knew that Li Daoxuan had a free and easy temper and yearned for a free and unrestrained life, so she never urged him, but just waited silently.
From the first time they met until now, she has been waiting for twenty-three years.
Wow!
I don't know when the spiritual rain fell from the sky. It was not heavy, as if the spring breeze in March silently nourished the ground under my feet.
The goddess sends her favor.
"Sister Yu, aren't you willing?"
Li Daoxuan frowned slightly when he saw that she hadn't spoken for a long time.
Chen Ziyu shook her head, her eyes clear and firm, without a trace of fear.
The rainwater gathered at her feet, without a thousand words, it condensed into just one word.
"good."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled in the wind and rain. In an instant, the wind and rain dispersed, and the clouds broke through the moon and the flowers made shadows.
When Taiwei saw this scene, she felt some inexplicable emotion in her heart. Frankly speaking, she did have complex emotions towards her senior brother, including her dependence on her brother, the joy of being a confidant in the art of swordsmanship, and a hint of the opposite-sex attraction between men and women.
But she couldn't be like Chen Ziyu, who bravely put the word love in the most important position.
She believed that compared to her senior brother, Chen Ziyu could give up on the goddess Xiaoxiang, the saint Qingming, and even the immortal Taoist fruit and immortality.
I don’t seek immortality, I just want to be by your side.
This goddess is truly a person of deep love and nature. The world only knows that she is cold, noble and majestic, but they don’t know that she is actually a ball of flame, so warm and beautiful.
Taiwei admires such a person, but cannot become such a person.
Because to her, kendo is the flame.
Chen Ziyu has Chen Ziyu's charm, and Liu Bihen also has Liu Bihen's temperament.
In this life, she can't be the soft-spoken lady who holds the sword, nor can she hold the needle and thread, nor can she sharpen the inkstone, but she can fight side by side with her senior brother and talk about the truth, which is also a joy.
Just when the three of them were feeling emotional, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Proposing for marriage as soon as I wake up, talking sweet words, it seems abnormal to the old beggar!"
Li Daoxuan and Chen Ziyu both looked at the student on the roadside with their eyes.
Lusheng's body trembled, but he still said harshly: "Besides, women are all tigresses. If you can drink and eat meat alone, you can be so carefree. Why do you have to feed the tigers?"
This time Taiwei couldn't bear it anymore, her eyes were as cold as swords.
The roadside student hurriedly hid next to Xuanzang, only to find that he was looking at a goldfish in a purple gold alms bowl, wondering what he was thinking.
"Xuan Zang, your fish is quite fat. The old beggar is just hungry. How about we grill it?"
Xuanzang silently put away the alms bowl, and then raised the nine-ring tin staff weighing 192 kilograms.
