Chapter 287: Lotus Sutra (Part 1)

Last time, we talked about Zhou Qing and Yunxia refining 365 star flags. Zhou Qing also transformed into two bodies of Xuanming and Houtu, two beautiful women, which surprised Yunxia greatly. Zhou Qing had no choice but to return the greetings when he saw Xuanming and Houtu. After that, he hurriedly left the star formation. All the starlight in the valley was sucked into the yellow gourd, ready for future sacrifices and refining of magic tools.

Xuanming, Houtu, and Zhou Qing were originally the same body. There was no need to be polite. They left the valley together, turned around the fairy house behind, entered the hall from the back, and got on the cloud bed. Xuanming sat on Zhou Qing's right, Houtu sat on Zhou Qing's left, and Yunxia sat on the side.

These two are

Jing Jing and Kong Kong had just received Zhou Qing's teachings. They spent a year practicing swordsmanship and comprehending the Dao. They didn't ask about the things in the sect, but they didn't know the origin of Xuanming and Hou Tu. Not to mention the two disciples, even Liao Xiaojin and Wen Lanxin, who had followed Zhou Qing for a long time, didn't know the origin of the two ancestors. Only Red Boy and the witch had seen the incarnation of Emperor Jiang in Huaguo Mountain before. They were slightly stunned, then woke up and bowed down quickly.

Congratulations to the teacher for his great progress in the Dao, Red Boy bowed down.

Xuanming and Hou Tu nodded. Before Zhou Qing spoke, Xuanming said: No need to be polite. You get up first. The voice was cold, tearing the eternal black ice. Everyone present shuddered, and their souls tightened in the Nigong Pill. They all had an illusion that if they relaxed a little, they would be torn to pieces by the woman in front of them and never recover.

The incarnation of the master was full of murderous intent. Red Boy turned the Five Flames of God that he had cultivated all over his body, and then he felt a little relieved. He closed his eyes slightly, and felt that Xuanming was no longer a beautiful fairy, but a peerless beast lurking in the depths of the darkness, watching him all the time. He shuddered again, and then he stood up and pulled the witch aside.

Everyone was very surprised and looked at each other. They felt guilty, only Zhang Ziran broke free from the big fox and jumped up. Seeing the sharp and ferocious bone horns on Xuanming's head, he was very curious and couldn't help but touch it, but Xuanming grabbed his body. Zhang Ziran only felt a strong force covering his whole body, and he couldn't move at all. It seemed that all the bones in his body were crushed by Xuanming, and he cried loudly in pain.

Yunxia gave Xuanming a white look and said to Zhang Ziran: Why are you rude to the master? No wonder you have to suffer.

Zhou Qing waved his hand, and Xuanming retracted his hand. Zhang Ziran also fell in front of Zhou Qing. Xuanming did not speak, but closed his eyes. The two bone horns on his head slowly shrank back, and finally he was no different from a normal person. Hou Shi had not said a word since he greeted Zhou Qing, but his expression was still gentle. Everyone looked at Xuanming and then at Hou Tu, and they felt a sense of power like a spring breeze.

Don't make trouble Zhou Qing slapped Zhang Ziran, and the pain in his body disappeared. Zhang Ziran felt warm and fell asleep in a short while. Zhou Qing ordered Wen Lanxin to come up and send him to the cradle to sleep, and asked the boy to serve him. Then he said: I had nothing to do today, just to see how you are practicing. I was like refining treasures, using Xuan Gong to play the future disasters and blessings, and I actually got a glimpse of the operation of the heaven. I only know that there will be a great catastrophe in the future, and all the immortals, demons, Buddhas and devils in the three realms will be involved in it. This is a certainty. No matter how many there are, they will not be spared. You must practice diligently and increase your magic power to prepare for the catastrophe in the future.

The great catastrophe that the teacher said, I don't know when it will come true. How can we avoid it?

The witch first listened to the preaching of the Styx Patriarch and knew that the number of days was running. In the three realms, there were countless catastrophes every long time, no matter how big or small, and there were people who would face the catastrophe. Everyone practiced the immortal way and had countless catastrophes, but the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, there were only a few times. Unless there was no power and opportunity, it would be impossible to avoid it. When she heard Zhou Jing talking about the great catastrophe, her heart moved and she asked hurriedly.

Can't see clearly, can't see clearly, where can I see clearly?

Zhou Qing shook his head. You just need to keep it in mind. Although my method is called Heavenly Dao Change, he also knows that Heavenly Dao is infinite, and the changes are also infinite. How can human power see clearly? I have recently practiced the Zhoutian Star Array, evolved the primordial starry sky, and comprehended some of the essence of the primordial creation. I will tell you about it. You can understand it by yourself according to your aptitude and opportunity.

Wen Lanxin was overjoyed when he heard that Zhou Qing was going to preach. Red Boy said: Teacher, are you going to go to the altar to preach

Zhou Qing smiled and said: No, no, this method is not passed on to outsiders.

After that, he called a dozen boys in, removed the chairs, replaced them with cushions, and asked them to close the palace gates.

Zhou Qing saw that all the disciples were seated, and started to talk loudly. It was snowing heavily outside, like goose feathers, and the sound of it falling to the ground could be heard. The moon was getting tighter, the creatures were quiet, the world was empty, but the fairy house was full of flowers and shining. As Zhou Qing started to speak, the aptitude and understanding of the disciples were revealed. The three of them, the girl, Red Boy, and Liao Xiaojin, could not help but smile when they heard the wonderful points. The ancients said: "If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening." It is no wonder that these three people could not help themselves when listening to the truth.

Wen Lanxin frowned slightly, and seemed to have understood a little. Jingjing'er, Kongkong'er, the seven girls of Pansi Cave Mansion, and Lan Shen were also the same. Obviously, his understanding and aptitude were a little worse than those three, but his roots were still stronger.

The big fox, Long Tian, ​​and Long Di were listening indifferently, but they felt that it was very profound. They only understood one tenth of it. The poisonous dragon behind them was even more confused, as if they had fallen into a fog and did not understand anything. After listening for half an hour, they were actually dazed and felt that their whole body was relaxed. The words Zhou Qing uttered seemed to make them sleepy. The poisonous dragon fell asleep, his head drooped, a line of water stretched in his mouth, and snoring came out of his nostrils. However, Liu Tong was not qualified to listen to the lecture, but he took advantage of Wen Lanxin and understood a little bit.

A cloud of light appeared on Zhou Qing's head. The cloud of light was as big as an acre of field and as clear as water. Above the cloud light, twelve black lights appeared, each as thick as an arm's length. They rushed up to a height of three inches, then stopped, rotated for a while, and split into two groups, each with six black lights, interlaced up and down, just like two Qian hexagrams overlapped together, forming a scene of Qian on top and Qian on the bottom.

Once the two hexagrams of Qian on top and Qian on the bottom were interlaced, they became twelve honorable positions, some high and some low. They were floating in the cloud light. Hou Tu took a look at the honorable position in the cloud light, shrank her body, and turned into a baby figure about two feet tall, but her face and clothes remained the same. Just like the earth immortal who had just refined his soul into a Taoist baby, he jumped into the cloud light, sat cross-legged on the honorable position, put his hands flat, closed his eyes, and said nothing. Xuan Ming also entered the cloud light above Zhou Qing's head like the later soldiers. As soon as he sat on the honorable position, he saw the poisonous dragon sleeping soundly, and the sound of snoring sounded. He couldn't help but snorted coldly and flicked his fingers.

Boom Poison Dragon only felt a huge force from the dark hitting him. He was knocked away as soon as he resisted. He was about to hit the gate, but the gate opened for no reason. Poison Dragon's body was shot out like a cannonball and fell into the snow in the square in front of the Immortal Mansion. He couldn't get up and broke dozens of bones in his body.

You have this opportunity, but you didn't listen to Xuanmiao Liao Xiaojin hurried out. He shouted at Poison Dragon: Go to Shepan Mountain to recuperate and train demon soldiers. You are not allowed to enter Black Wind Mountain again.

Poison Dragon regretted it in his heart, but he couldn't do it. Liao Xiaojin called his disciples and took Poison Dragon away.

Xuanming closed his eyes and said nothing.

After a long time, the sky darkened and the snow stopped for a while. Everyone was unaware, but they were just fascinated by it. Yunxia was served by the boy and went to rest. The next day, the sky was slightly bright. Zhou Qing was talking about the exquisite part when he suddenly stopped talking. Hou Tu and Xuan Ming also opened their eyes.

Everyone was puzzled. Zhou Chen relied on Zhou Qing's favor to ask: "Master, why don't you talk anymore?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said: "There are guests at the mountain gate. I will talk to you tomorrow. You wait for a while. Xiao Jin, go to the mountain gate and bring people in."

All the disciples got up and lined up on both sides. Liao Xiaojin went out.

In front of the Black Wind Mountain, when Zhou Qing was preaching, the sky was still a little hazy. The two boys guarding the mountain finished their morning class and opened the door. They saw the vast sky and the white universe, the cold air was deep, and it was a beautiful snowy scene. They were stunned. A golden light shot from afar, landed in front of the mountain, and revealed a figure. It was a tall old monk, wearing a yellow monk robe, wearing hemp shoes, with nine scars on his head, ruddy complexion, bright eyes, and holding a seven-foot-long scroll in both hands, with a golden color.

Alas, the newcomer, stop. This is the place where the Lord of Gou Chen preaches. No one is allowed to enter.

A boy in Huangzhong saw clearly that the old monk fell to the bottom of the mountain and walked up the steps step by step. He didn't need to walk lightly, and his body sank into the five-foot-deep snow, making a creaking sound.

The boy knew that the newcomer was showing respect, so he didn't make it difficult, but just shouted from a distance.

The old monk came up and arrived in front of the mountain gate in a moment. He chanted Buddhist mantras to the two boys: I am here to send the Lord of Gou Chen to the east by the order of Sakyamuni Tathagata, the master of the Pure Land Sect of Saha. I hope the fairy boy will inform you.

The two boys of the Saha Pure Land Master Sakyamuni Tathagata looked at each other and said hurriedly: Zen Master, wait a moment and let me go in to report.

The old monk said: Fairy boy, don't be in a hurry, thank you

One of the boys hurried into the mountain gate and saw Liao Xiaojin coming on the crystal bridge.

Liao Xiaojin stopped the boy and said, "There is an outsider in front of the mountain.

Let the master know. An old monk just came and said that the Saha Pure Land Master Sakyamuni Tathagata sent him to invite Dong to the master, so the disciple came to report.

Liao Xiaojin said: You don't have to go in. I just came here to take someone in according to the master's order.

The boy hurriedly took Liao Xiaojin to the mountain gate and met the old monk.

Zen Master is right. I came here to take Zen Master in according to the master's order. Liao Xiaojin's questioning of the old monk was quite reasonable.

The old monk was slightly surprised by Liao Xiaojin's change of attitude, then chanted Buddhist scriptures and returned the greeting: Thank you, Taoist brother.

Liao Xiaojin just said: Zen Master, no need to be polite, please

The old monk naturally followed Liao Xiaojin into the mountain gate and saw another world, a crystal bridge and a long rainbow rising in the sky, which was completely different from what he had seen just now. He knew that the ancient trees and jade branches behind the mountain gate were transformed by force, and his wise eyes could not see it.

Qiong'er said a few days ago that this Lord Gou Chen became a Taoist in the human world, and his disciples were all cruel and violent, treating human lives as worthless, and they were a group of demons. I saw it today, how could it be so different? Qiong'er never lied. I also heard that many Taoist friends' Taoist traditions in the human world were destroyed by this Lord Gou Chen. Could it be a misunderstanding?

The old monk and Liao Xiaojin went up the crystal bridge and saw plum blossoms in the distance. The golden carp floated under the bridge, but it was a fairy style, without any demonic spirit, and I was very confused.

It turned out that this old monk had quite a background. Jie was Li Ning, the father of Shushan Elder Li Yingqiong. He worshipped Baimei Zen Master for a thousand years and achieved the true fruit of Arhat. They all ascended to the world of earthly immortals and arrived in the pure land of Saha.

The White-browed Zen Master practiced Zen, and naturally he was a disciple of the Zen Master Bodhidharma. Li Ning was also a Zen Master. He had often preached since the birth of the Buddha. There was nothing to do recently, so the Tathagata took advantage of the midwinter to invite fellow Taoists from the three realms to discuss the sutras in the Saha Pure Land. He held a Lotus Sutra Conference.

Shushan had many Buddhist friends in the past, and now they are all in the Saha Pure Land. They often visit each other and have a good relationship. In the previous two sword fights, he also made great efforts, so the leftists, demons, and demons were defeated one after another. Li Yingqiong often went to the Shapo Pure Land to visit his father. Talking about how the God of Gou Chen was and how his disciples were, Li Ning took the opportunity to deliver a letter to come and see.

After walking for a while, the two arrived in front of the Immortal Mansion, and Liao Xiaojin led Li Ning in and went straight to the main hall.

Li Ning looked up and saw a person sitting in the main hall. Clouds of light appeared above his head, and it was none other than the Lord of the Clouds. He quickly bowed, but did not bow down. This was no wonder. Zhou Qing was the Heavenly Emperor of Taoism, but he was a Pure Land Zen master of Buddhism. He only respected the Buddha and worshipped the Tathagata, and did not even worship the Three Pure Ones.

This poor monk, following the order of the Pure Land Master Sakyamuni Tathagata, came to send Qingdong and the Lord of the Clouds.

After Li Ning finished speaking, he presented the golden scroll in his hand, which had already been received by Wen Lanxin, who came up to give it to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing read the scroll, then put it next to the cloud bed and said: The Tathagata has a heart, and I will definitely attend the meeting.

Li Ning was about to leave, and Zhou Qing did not stop him. He still let Liao Xiaojin send him to the mountain gate, and then Li Ning turned into Buddha light and left.

Teacher, what's going on? The witch didn't care about anything else and asked quickly. His father, the Lord of Heaven, Poxun, his mother, the Heavenly Consort Uma, Shiva, Vishnu, Rudra, and the Ghost Mother were all defeated by Sakyamuni Tathagata.

Poxun and the Heavenly Consort Uma were surrounded by the five great Vidyarajas, the incarnations of Tathagata. Although they escaped, they were in a very bad state. Therefore, there is still the image of the Three-World Vidyarajas stepping on the Free Heaven Poxun and the Heavenly Consort Uma.

That is why the witch asked rashly.

Zhou Qing did not blame him and said. Sakyamuni Tathagata held the Lotus Sutra Assembly in the Pure Land of Saha, so he invited me to go there to discuss the sutras.

The witch wanted to say something but was pulled by Red Boy, so she didn't say it. Zhou Qing didn't care. He moved his fingers and used the mysterious power to calculate the good and bad fortune. The Wuchao Zen Master was the incarnation of the Great Sun Tathagata, who was the second master of the Saha Pure Land. Zhou Qing had killed his clone before. There was some invisibility between them. Although he didn't take revenge openly, he was afraid that he would make some trouble in secret, which was not good. Zhou Qing naturally had to calculate it carefully.

After calculating silently for a long time, he only had some vague results, which was not clear and could not make sense. Xuanming said in his head: The secret of heaven has been reversed and the yin and yang have been messed up by people. It is a waste of effort to calculate again.

Zhou Qing said: I know this naturally and I won't calculate it anymore. I am thinking about whether to go or not.

When Laozi turned into a barbarian, this Sakyamuni Tathagata was born. Although he is a Buddhist, his roots are still in my Taoism, which is different from the Western Paradise. The Zen master Wuchao sent the gourd to me. It is clear that he did not have good intentions. I killed the clone to protect myself and eliminate hidden dangers. It is also the result of the Taoist Liuya. I might as well go and see the person who defeated the leader of the Styx. Maybe I can understand something. Killing another ancestor witch as an incarnation is also a corpse, which is a merit.

Zhou Qing calculated in his heart, and then left the fairy house, stepped onto the Dharma platform where he usually preached, and sat silently. The disciples were all puzzled, but they did not dare to speak, and stood under the Dharma platform. Yunxia also rushed out after hearing the news. Seeing Zhou Qing sitting silently, she called the disciples back to the palace.

Master's wife, what is the teacher pinching, Red Boy asked

Yunxia smiled and said: "No, nothing, your teacher is calling the incarnations to come."

As soon as the voice fell, a sinister laugh suddenly sounded outside the Immortal Mansion. Everyone went out of the Immortal Mansion and saw a demon god with a human face and a bird body appeared in the sky above the platform. He had six claws and four wings and laughed sinisterly. It was Emperor Jiang.

Emperor Jiang changed into a human form and fell into the cloud light above Zhou Jing's head. He chose a position next to Hou Tu.

Another day passed, and Gong Gong, Zhu Rong, Ju Mang, and Ru Shou appeared together in Black Wind Mountain.

Zhou Qing said: Brother Dao is here. Gong Gong smiled and said: I have to come and fell into the cloud light.
