On the way out of Wuzhi Mountain, Hou Tuzu Wu and Jiang Heng talked about the journey to the west to measure the calamity. Hou Tuzu Wu was the first to speak:
"Five hundred years later, the drama of seeking scriptures from the Western Heaven will begin, and Sun Wukong will also escape from trouble at that time!"
"According to the script set by Heavenly Dao and Taoist Ancestor Hongjun, Sun Wukong will worship the scripture seeker as his teacher and escort him to the West to retrieve scriptures!" Jiang Heng said.
Because of Jiang Heng's existence, many changes have taken place in the ancient world, but the direction of the journey to the west has not changed.
Jiang Heng naturally knows very well about the journey to the west. Jiang Heng actually knew exactly who the Buddhist monk was.
"With Sun Wukong's rebellious character, how could he worship a Buddhist scripture collector as his teacher? Speaking of which, it seems that the Buddhist scripture collector should be a human race!" Hou Tu Zuwu said.
Although Houtu Zuwu knew some things about the journey to the west, Jiang Heng never said the key points.
"It is naturally not easy for Sun Wukong to surrender, but in the midst of calamity, Sun Wukong had to surrender in the end.
As for the Buddhist scripture seekers, they should have come from Western religions, but now, Mahayana Buddhism is not impossible to compete with!
However, no matter who the scripture seeker is, he will definitely fall into the human race in the end! "Jiang Heng said.
The essence of Journey to the West is to spread Buddhism eastward, thus allowing Western religion to flourish. If you want to achieve this, you cannot avoid the human race.
Only if the people who learn the scriptures are from the human race, can Buddhism spread eastward naturally and become popular among the human race.
Once something like faith spreads, it can affect the spiritual will of the entire human race silently.
Jiang Heng was naturally extremely defensive about this. If possible, Jiang Heng naturally does not want Buddhism to be introduced into the human race.
But this is the script set by Heaven, and it is related to whether Heaven's law can be perfected. If Jiang Heng tried to stop him, how could Tiandao agree?
During the Conferred God Calamity, although Jiang Heng forced Heaven to compromise, it was a miracle that could not be replicated, but one cannot be repeated.
Jiang Heng is now in a critical period of accumulating strength. He doesn't want to completely fall out with Tiandao now, so he must find another way.
In Jiang Heng's plan, Journey to the West will still unfold according to Tiandao's script, but the final result will not be as Tiandao wishes.
This is a silent game. Tiandao and Daozu Hongjun seem to have not taken action, but they have been secretly controlling everything.
"The scripture seekers are from the human race. This is the only good news for us!" Hou Tu Zuwu said with a smile.
Jiang Heng nodded. Even Tiandao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun could not change the fact that the scripture seekers were human beings.
no way! The human race is the protagonist of today's prehistoric world, and most of the destiny is also concentrated in the human race.
If Western religion wants to flourish, Buddhism wants to spread eastward, and the journey to the West wants to truly complete the calamity, it is impossible to bypass the human race no matter what.
But for Jiang Heng, as long as the person seeking scriptures is from the human race, as the first-generation co-owner of the human race, he has room to maneuver on some things.
While Jiang Heng and Houtu Zuwu were discussing the journey to the west to measure the calamity, the other saints in the prehistoric world were naturally not idle either.
Saint Taiqing, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tianting, etc. are all making various plans secretly to measure the calamity of the journey to the west.
Perhaps only the saint, Master Tongtian, was relatively indifferent. He had been sitting on Golden Turtle Island and looked indifferent to the calamity of Journey to the West.
The two saints of Western religions are a little worried. The reason is actually still in today's Mahayana Buddhism.
Since the Great Sun Tathagata took action to suppress Sun Wukong, the matter of obtaining scriptures from the Western Heaven has officially fallen on Mahayana Buddhism.
In this way, Mahayana Buddhism has become extremely important in the Journey to the West and can even influence the direction of the Journey to the West.
Because of this, the two saints of the Western Sect naturally wanted to completely subdue the Great Sun Tathagata and bring Mahayana Buddhism under the control of the Western Sect.
However, standing behind the Great Sun Tathagata were Jiang Heng, Saint Taiqing, Master Tongtian and other saints.
Naturally, the two saints of the Western Sect could not take action personally, and could only place their hopes on the disciples of the Western Sect, such as the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lights.
It was from this time on that the battle in Mahayana Buddhism became more and more intense, with both sides going back and forth, fighting endlessly.
Generally speaking, because of the suppression of Sun Wukong, the Great Sun Tathagata still has a slight upper hand, which can be regarded as taking the initiative in measuring the calamity.
But after all, the number of disciples of Western religion is huge, and there are saints standing behind them, so Mahavairocana cannot completely control Mahayana Buddhism.
Spring passes and autumn comes, and a hundred years pass in the blink of an eye. Mahayana Buddhism was in constant internal strife, and Jiang Heng was also invited by Zhen Yuanzi at this time.
Originally, the fruit on the fruit tree was ripe at this time, so Zhen Yuanzi invited friends to come and taste it.
During the Lich Tribulation period, Jiang Heng had a good relationship with Zhen Yuanzi, and the two of them formed a friendship.
Zhen Yuanzi did not invite many friends this time, but among them Jiang Heng and Houtu Zuwu were inevitable.
After Jiang Heng and Houtu Zuwu received the invitation, they happily went to Zhen Yuanzi's Wuzhuang Temple without much hesitation.
"The fact that the Human Emperor and the Houtu Ancestral Witch are here in person this time really makes our Wuzhuang Temple shine brightly!"
As soon as Jiang Heng and Houtu Zuwu arrived at Wuzhuang Temple, they saw Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Earth Immortal, coming up to them with a face of joy.
Although the relationship between Jiang Heng and Zhen Yuanzi is not bad, Jiang Heng has become a strong man at the saint level after all, which is completely different from his previous identity.
Even Zhen Yuanzi had to bow and salute when he saw Jiang Heng. In this prehistoric world, this was the most basic etiquette for a saint.
The same goes for Houtu Zuwu. As the master of the six realms of reincarnation and an equal to the heaven, Zhen Yuanzi cannot help but disrespect him.
"I have nothing to do, and I haven't gotten together with my old friends for many years, so I just took this opportunity to meet them!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.
While Zhen Yuanzi talked about some past events with Jiang Heng, he welcomed Hou Tu Zuwu and Jiang Heng into Wuzhuang Temple with a smile on his face.
At this time, Wuzhuang Temple was already full of guests, and all of them were powerful men from the earthly immortal world, including Yun Zhongzi, who was familiar with Jiang Heng.
After Yun Zhongzi became the Fengdu Emperor of the underworld, he enjoyed the boundless merits of the six paths of reincarnation, and his cultivation level became more and more advanced.
By the time of Journey to the West, Yun Zhongzi had already reached the pinnacle of quasi-sage status and became the strongest person in the Chan religion second only to Yuanshi Tianzun.
In today's three worlds of heaven, earth and man, Yun Zhongzi is also among the strong men who stand at the pinnacle, and his status is naturally extraordinary.
At this time, Yun Zhongzi was sitting in the middle position, but other powerful men in the earthly immortal world could only sit below Yun Zhongzi.
However, after seeing Jiang Heng and Hou Tu Zu Wu, Yun Zhongzi immediately came up to them and bowed to Jiang Heng and Hou Tu Zu Wu.
From Ancestor Hongyun in his previous life to Yun Zhongzi in this life, Jiang Heng has helped him greatly. Yun Zhongzi has always kept this love in his heart.
What's more, Jiang Heng is now a saint. Even if he only comes here in an incarnation, Yun Zhongzi does not dare to show any slightness.
Not to mention the Hou Tuzu Witch. In the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Hou Tuzu Witch is Yun Zhongzi’s immediate boss and is also a saint himself.
Not only Yun Zhongzi, but also those who knew Jiang Heng's identity were already saluting. Those who didn't know it started to bow and salute under the reminder of others.
After this, all the powerful men present sat down again, and under the auspices of Zhen Yuanzi, they began to sit and talk.
Jiang Heng and Houtu Zuwu just listened quietly, occasionally exchanging a few words with Yun Zhongzi, but they did not participate in this discussion.
no way! The level gap between the two parties was too big. If Jiang Heng participated, it would make this event boring.
"Now is the period of calamity, the Human Emperor and the Houtu Ancestral Witch are quite leisurely!" Yun Zhongzi said with emotion.
"It's just a break in the busy schedule. The calamity this time is not terrible. As long as you don't take the initiative to contaminate the cause and effect, there is no need to worry!" Jiang Heng said.
As soon as these words came out, both Zhen Yuanzi and Yun Zhongzi breathed a sigh of relief. How could they not worry about something as terrifying as calamity?
After all, Yun Zhongzi and Zhen Yuanzi had experienced the Conferred God Measurement Tribulation and the Lich Measurement Tribulation, and they had witnessed the horror of the Measurement Tribulation with their own eyes.
Now is the period of calamity. As long as they have not become saints, no one can guarantee that they will not fall into calamity.
As a strong man at the saint level, Jiang Heng's understanding of calamity is naturally better than theirs. With Jiang Heng's guarantee, they can naturally feel more at ease.
Jiang Heng's words were not deliberately concealed. Many powerful people present heard Jiang Heng's words and couldn't help but feel relieved.
This time, Zhen Yuanzi held a grand meeting. The reason why so many powerful people came was because they planned to inquire about the situation of the calamity.
Because of Jiang Heng's words, the powerful people present put aside their worries and started to liven up the event.
Zhen Yuanzi took out the ginseng fruit at the right time, pushing the event to its peak, and then a group of powerful people communicated with each other.
While Jiang Heng was chatting with Yun Zhongzi, a young man came to Jiang Heng and offered him a cup of tea as a junior.
Jiang Heng glanced at the young man, reached out to take the cup of tea, took a slow sip, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Good tea! It can be said to condense the essence of heaven and earth, but unfortunately, this cup of tea is useless to me!" Jiang Heng said.
The cup of tea offered by the young man was not ordinary. It was made from elixirs collected from heaven and earth. If ordinary people drank it, they would immediately become immortal and become immortals.
In a sense, the effect of this tea is not inferior to that of ginseng fruit, but even superior to it.
Unfortunately, at Jiang Heng's current level, no matter what kind of treasures there are, they can no longer be of much help to Jiang Heng.
"I have heard about the reputation of the Human Emperor for a long time. It is a great blessing to have the opportunity to serve tea today!" The young man said with a smile.
"Since I have already drank your tea, I can't say no, so I'll give you a chance!
As for whether you can grasp it, it depends on your own ability! Jiang Heng said with a slight smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Heng pointed out a finger, hitting the spot between the young man's eyebrows.
