Chapter 878 The Powers of the Three Realms
Lingshan, the Great Thunder Sound Temple.
The Tathagata Buddha summoned all the Buddhas, Alo, Jieyi, Bodhisattva, Vajra, Bhikshu Zeng, nuns, etc., took the Ullambana basin, distributed the flowers and fruits in the basin to everyone, carried them away and scattered them, and held a grand gathering. banquet.
In the original work, the main topic of the Bon Bon Conference was the plan to travel to the West. If too many people from the sect were invited, it would easily cause trouble. Therefore, the Buddhist sect did not invite all parties to the banquet, but only held a small meeting with its own people within Lingshan. , finalized various matters related to Journey to the West.
But this time, Tathagata didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, so he invited colleagues from all three worlds to attend the Bon Festival together.
So, on the eve of the grand event, powerful experts from all walks of life in the three realms came one after another.
Considering the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, some really important figures declined and did not come in person to avoid suspicion.
Only one of the four emperors from the Heavenly Court came, and none of the Three Pure Ones showed up.
Yuanshi Tianzun from Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain sent three disciples, namely Zhenren Huanglong, Zhenren Taiyi and Zhenren Yuding among the Twelve Golden Immortals.
In addition, the Five Elders of the Five Directions, the Five Dou Xing Lords, the Taiyi Celestial Immortal from the Upper Eight Cave, the Haiyue Immortal from the Middle Eight Cave, the registered Earth Immortal from the Lower Eight Cave, and various immortals from the Ten Continents and Three Islands, They all gathered here.
Before the grand gathering even started, the great powers from all over the world were already invited to the table by Venerable Ananda, a disciple of the Tathagata.
During the banquet, an old man was wearing a cloud-patterned Taoist robe, a lotus crown on his head, and holding a whisk. He had slender forehead and long beard, and two strands of white hair hanging slightly behind the ears on the temples, blowing in the wind. Immortal spirit, extraordinary and refined.
Next to him, there was another middle-aged Taoist wearing an earthy yellow Bagua Taoist robe.
He has a tall and strong posture, and his face is quite handsome, but the beard at the corner of his mouth is rather sloppy, and he looks frivolous, with a certain charm of playing with the world.
At this time, the yellow-robed Taoist glanced at the figures flying in from outside Lingshan Mountain, couldn't help but smile, and whispered.
"Junior brother, have you seen it? You are right, senior brother. The scale of this year's Bon Bon Festival is indeed not comparable to that of three hundred years ago, let alone the grand gathering of five hundred years ago!"
"...That's natural!"
The old man with the immortal spirit looked as usual, and said in a calm voice: "It has been five hundred years since the monster monkey was suppressed. If Buddhism holds the Bon Bon Conference at this time, who in the Three Realms will not know What's their plan?"
"Too."
The yellow-robed Taoist nodded and said, "If I hadn't heard that Emperor Zhongtian would also attend the Bon Festival, I guess Master wouldn't have even sent the three of us here. At most, he would have sent a few second-generation disciples to support us." It’s enough to support the scene!”
Having said this, Taoist Huangpao paused and asked curiously: "By the way, Junior Brother Taiyi, do you know where that person is from?"
Taiyi Zhenren frowned, shook his head and said: "You are asking me this question. I don't know where that person came from. I only know that both Heaven and Buddhism are rushing to have a relationship with that person. "
"Especially in Heaven, people have not agreed yet, so they insist on asking them to be the Zhongtian Ziwei Emperor."
"...Hmph, do you still want to be embarrassed?"
Master Taiyi snorted, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Tianting's attentive attitude.
Seeing this scene, Taoist Huangpao couldn't help but laugh. He knew that a large part of the reason why Taiyi Zhenren was angry was because his precious disciple Nezha also served in Heavenly Court, and he could still be regarded as the front man of Heavenly Court. .
Heavenly Court's actions obviously lowered the standard of the entire Heavenly Court, and even his precious apprentice was embarrassed.
In order to prevent the Heavenly Court from sending his disciples to invite the person who entered the Ziwei Palace, Master Taiyi found a reason to call Nezha back to the Kunlun Mountains, and did not even allow him to participate in the Bon Bon Festival, which was a rare event in a century.
Thinking of this, Taoist Huangpao sighed and changed the subject: "It seems that the real secret may only be known to the great masters like Master and Uncle Jade Emperor."
"As for us...well, maybe Junior Brother Yuding knows something, but he has been mysterious all day long. This time he followed you and me down the mountain, but also disappeared halfway. Junior Brother Taiyi, do you know where he went?"
Master Taiyi glanced at Master Huanglong and said noncommittally, "Maybe he went to Guanjiangkou to visit his apprentice!"
Master Huang Long rolled his eyes and muttered: "Apprentice, apprentice, apprentice, you have known the apprentice all day long, and you don't know what is good about this apprentice. In the words of Junior Brother Yuding, you are just... what kind of apprentice control! "
Master Taiyi smiled and said: "As the saying goes, master and apprentice are like father and son. Senior brother, you will know this when you accept one."
Master Huanglong quickly refused and said: "Forget it, all of you are richer than me. I am just a lonely person with no worries. If I accept a disciple, I have to think about where to get some treasures to give to them. This is too much. It’s troublesome…”
Before he finished speaking, a ray of rays of light lit up from the sky, and fell next to the two of them in an instant, transforming into a green-robed Taoist.
This man has a handsome appearance and a pure and unique temperament, just like the mountains and flowing water, which makes people feel relaxed and happy when looking at him.
After landing, Taoist Qingpao bowed his hands and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, brothers, Yuding hasn't come down the mountain for a long time. I thought it was a rare opportunity, so I temporarily changed my route and went to Guanjiangkou. I was only a few days late. ”
Upon hearing the words of Taoist Qingpao, Master Taiyi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Master Huanglong with a half-smile.
"What did I say?"
"..."
Master Huanglong rolled his eyes and raised his hand to ask Master Yuding to sit between them.
Taiyi Zhenren said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's not too late for you to come, and there are still others who haven't come yet!"
Master Yuding looked solemn and said through the message: "Who are you talking about?"
Master Taiyi nodded: "Yes, that one."
Master Huang Long came over and said with a smile: "Junior brother, tell me the truth. Master asked you to go to Yuxu Palace alone before. Did he tell you any shocking secrets?"
"...Senior brother!"
Master Yuding looked at him helplessly and said, "Even if there is, do you think Master will let me tell you?"
Master Huang Long curled his lips and said: "If you don't say it, don't say it. Who cares!"
At this moment, outside Lingshan, the sky suddenly darkened.
The three golden immortals who explained the teaching seemed to have something to say, and they all turned their heads to look at the sky.
Beyond the horizon, an extremely huge black shadow slowly emerged.
It was a huge black beast that spanned tens of thousands of kilometers. He had a head like a real dragon, eyes like the sun and moon, teeth like mountain peaks, and a huge body like a black continent, suspended high in the sky.
As soon as Pu appears, the situation changes for thousands of miles and the sky becomes dark.
On the Lingshan Mountain, many visitors' expressions changed and they couldn't help but look at the dragon beast above their heads.
I saw dozens of figures standing between the majestic sword fins. The two leaders were a handsome young man and the Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting on the lotus platform.
Looking at the slightly noisy Lingshan Mountain in front of him, Guanyin Bodhisattva recited the Buddha's name, and then said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Lingshan Mountain has arrived, please ask this white donor to accept the magical power..."
Lin Zhongtian nodded, looked at the fairy beast Godzilla at his feet and said, "Old Bai, it's almost done!"
The next second, the huge Godzilla body suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a heroic young man wearing black armor with a depressed face.
"Didn't you ask me to come to listen to the Buddha's teachings? Why did I suddenly become a mount?"
Everyone was smiling. Nie Changchuan put his arms around Bai Lang's shoulders and said with a smile: "It's not like I'm riding on you for nothing. Didn't I take out a high-quality flat peach as a ticket? If you think it's not enough, I'll give you a ride later." I will also give you all the rare fruits at the meeting!”
"That's what you said!"
Bailang glared at Nie Changchuan.
At this moment, the Buddha's light appeared on the Lingshan Mountain, and a figure flew out from it, riding the Buddha's light and auspicious clouds, came to the crowd, and bowed to Lin Zhongtian and Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Nie Changchuan came to Lin Zhongtian and whispered: "This is the disciple and attendant of Buddha, the second ancestor of Zen Buddhism, Venerable Ananda."
It turned out to be him!
Lin Zhongtian's face was clear.
After Venerable Ananda put his palms together and saluted, he smiled and said: "On behalf of the World Honored One and Lingshan, the poor monk respectfully welcomes the emperor. I also ask all the immortals to take a seat with me and wait for the Ullambana Conference to be held..."
"Good work."
Lin Zhongtian replied lightly, then waved his sleeves and robe, carrying everyone and flying towards Lingshan Mountain.
Not long after, everyone was led by Venerable Ananda to the seat where the Tathagata set his feet.
Lin Zhongtian didn't care about the seats, and immediately led the alliance members to take their seats, and then glanced at the powerful men of the three realms who were already seated.
As his gaze swept across, many immortal masters stood up one after another and saluted Lin Zhongtian respectfully.
Only a few people were still sitting where they were. When Lin Zhongtian glanced at them, they smiled and bowed.
Seeing this scene, before Lin Zhongtian thought anything, Bai Lang raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.
"Xiaochuan, who are these stagers?"
"Let me see……"
Nie Changchuan glanced at it, and then suddenly said: "Oh, the three over there are the direct disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun of Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain. The one in the yellow robe is Taoist Huanglong. Although this guy is jokingly called the Four Wuxing Taoist, he is unable to do anything. He has no strength, no disciples, no brains, and no success, but he is actually a hidden master of luck and merit. "
"Strictly speaking, Yanhuang is his junior, and Dayu has to call him his teacher."
"From the deer-chasing battle between Yanhuang and Chiyou to Dayu's flood control, he is always present. The most rare thing is that this guy seems to have no desire for fame and wealth. When the floods were quelled, Dayu wanted to seek a seal from heaven on his behalf. He even rejected him, saying he was too troublesome and didn’t want to ascend to heaven..."
After hearing Nie Changchuan's words, all the alliance members stood in awe.
Bailang's face was stern: "Oh, it's okay then..."
Nie Changchuan continued to smile and said: "As for the two people next to them, they are Master Taiyi and Master Yuding. I don't know if you still remember their names, but you must know their apprentices!"
Zhao Lihe nodded and said, "Nezha and Yang Jian."
Bailang coughed and whispered, "What about the last one?"
Nie Changchuan glanced at the last person and said softly: "One of the four emperors of heaven, Gouchen Shanggong, the emperor!"
