Yun Zhongzi also knew the destiny. The four religions and three groups had agreed that the fortune of Buddhism was weak, and the foundation of the religion had been destroyed. There was no room for recovery. This was a rolling trend that could not be stopped.
At the moment, Monkey King Wukong Li Sheng seemed to be aggressive. He had raised troops in the South China Sea and occupied most of the Southern Continent. The war extended to the city of Chang'an. As long as Chang'an was taken in one fell swoop, the dragon vein would be cut off, and the Chan Sect would have no place to defend, and no one would rely on the number of people. No matter how powerful they were, they would have no place to use their skills.
Outside Chang'an City, there were densely packed camps. In the sky, large ships were floating, green light was waving, Sanskrit was singing, and the heavens were flying. The flying fairies scattered golden Polo flowers, and the three thousand Buddhas of the Western Paradise, five hundred Arhats, three thousand Jie Di, the eight great Bodhisattvas, and the eight great Vajra Buddhas and soldiers all came from the West and landed in the army.
The sky was filled with huge Buddhist sounds, filling the universe, the void of the universe, and even the netherworld. The ten Yama Kings all gathered in the capital to discuss important matters.
Three thousand Buddhas, all came from the Western Paradise. Such a momentum has never been seen since the creation of the world.
The Styx Patriarch was in the netherworld blood sea, and next to him were the four great demons, Watermelon Zhang, Natural Demon King, Po Xun, Brahma, Desire, and Shiva. Below were the five small demons, Indra, Ghost Mother, etc. The majestic Buddha power made the entire blood sea shake, and waves of thousands of feet were turned up.
This was a life-and-death battle for the Buddhist sect. The Douzhan Buddha was desperate, but it was still not optimistic. But it was a good time for us to take revenge. The ancestor can also absorb the Buddha's blood and refine the blood god again. You are all my Shura disciples, so don't neglect it.
The Styx Patriarch sat on the reincarnation pool with a hideous face. First, the two swords of Avici and Yuantu were taken away, and then he was captured by Tathagata and imprisoned. Wukong, Zhenyuanzi and Tathagata joined forces to refine him into a blood god, and he became a blood god heart and blood coagulation beads.
Then the Taoist Wukong wanted to refine himself. But he was the product of the blood sea, and Wukong was anxious, so he couldn't do it. Even so, he suffered a lot and was in great pain. Minghe's magic power has been greatly reduced and it is difficult to recover. How can he not hate Buddhism?
Minghe also hates the Tiandao Sect that Zhou Qing is in charge of. But he can't do anything. Now that the killing calamity is rising, there is no time to worry about him, so Minghe also has ideas.
As long as he can catch dozens of powerful Buddhas, such as Maitreya Buddha, and refine them with his own Yuanmo Lingyan, it will be easy to condense a more powerful blood god with huge magic power.
You two have a great affinity, I have already predicted it. I am an Asura, and you two can inherit it.
Zhang Ziran heard this and thought to himself: I am a person of the Heavenly Dao, how can I inherit the Asura Dao. He just muttered in his mouth, Xigua heard it clearly, and glared at Zhang Ziran fiercely, frightening Zhang Ziran so much that he dared not speak, but just nodded.
It turned out that the Vajra bracelet in Zhang Ziran's hand was the holy weapon of Laozi's transformation into a barbarian. Except for the Pangu Banner, the Taijitu and the Chaos Bell, none of them could match it.
Laozi's transformation into a barbarian may seem ordinary, but it is the root of the killing disaster that opened up a certain amount of Hongmeng. Without Sakyamuni, there would naturally be no Dousheng Buddha. The havoc in the Heavenly Palace and the underworld changed the cycle of life and death, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, and the Cangmang Doujian from the human world. All of them are involved, and they are all the cause and effect of Laozi's transformation into a barbarian.
It can be seen that the merits of this weapon are really immeasurable.
Minghe saw Zhang Ziran with the Vajra bracelet in his hand, but he had a plan in his heart. He ordered Xigua and Zhang Ziran to take charge of the Asura Road, and even the demon king Po Xun and other demon gods had to obey his orders.
You two, with my Asura Road people, take my Asura army and hide in the Yellow Spring Road. When the battle in Chang'an is clear, capture dozens of Buddhas. Minghe ordered.
Xigua, Zhang Ziran, and the four demon gods did not dare to disobey, and led all the Asura army, all the way out of the sea of blood, hiding in the Yellow Spring Road near Chang'an City.
Seeing that everything was arranged properly, Minghe took the Asura flag sickle in Xigua's hand, but jumped up and turned into blood light and left.
Not long after Minghe left, Zhang Ziran and Xigua lurked in the Yellow Spring Road, and the Asura warships were densely packed like ants.
Suddenly, a beam of light swirled, suddenly broke through the void, and fell into the Yellow Spring Road. Demon King Po Xun noticed it first, thinking that the enemy had come, and he shouted loudly, and rushed forward with two swords. A man appeared in the light, holding a sword and a banner. Seeing Po Xun rushing, he shook the banner.
Po Xun shouted, and felt dizzy, and fell from the sky.
Uncle, why are you here? We are all family, don't do anything
Zhang Ziran and Xigua heard the sound and came out. Seeing that the man turned out to be Dong Yong, they shouted hurriedly. Zhang Ziran came forward, and Xigua was unhappy to see that his father was poisoned by Dong Yong.
Dong Yong's poison was so strong that even Li Sheng Monkey Wukong had to avoid it without the protection of magic weapons. Although Demon King Po Xun cultivated the immortal body of the Great Asura, he had no protection against Dong Yong's poison. The monkey dared to enter the South China Sea only after taking the Qinglian Baose Flag.
It turned out that Dong Yong returned to the South Sea, and saw corpses everywhere, blood all over the ground, and the five princesses were torn into pieces, cut to death, and some were even turned into a meat paste. Dong Yong knew that it was the monkey who did it, and he almost got angry, and he spurted blood and fainted on the ground. It took him three days to wake up, and he thought clearly, and he came to find Zhang Ziran.
If Zhang Ziran hadn't taken the plain brocade flag and ran to the netherworld, the five princesses wouldn't have been killed, and Dong Yong hated it very much.
When Dong Yong saw Zhang Ziran coming out, he was immediately furious, and slapped Zhang Ziran in the face, knocking him unconscious. He just cried: You beast, what's the point of keeping you
When Xigua saw it, he couldn't help but get angry, and he immediately protected him and said: Dong Yong, what are you crazy about? Zhang Ziran didn't understand, as long as Xigua was around, he was confused and very confused.
Dong Yong was not willing to argue with Xigua, and he waved the flag, and Xigua fell on his back. Zhang Ziran was anxious now, and hurriedly said: Uncle, what are you doing
Dong Yong was even more furious: You beast, you are not you, how could your mother and your aunts be killed by that monkey? Then he chopped Zhang Ziran several times and beat him to the ground. Zhang Ziran heard it clearly, and didn't care about being beaten, and hurriedly asked: Uncle, what did you say
Dong Yong explained the situation, and Zhang Ziran was stunned. Then he cried heartbreakingly: Mother, his voice was hoarse, and blood dripped from his eyes. Dong Yong saw Zhang Ziran fainted, with blood and tears on his face, and he was also sad.
How could so many hardships be imposed on us? Dong Yong shook Xigua to wake him up. At this point, Xigua asked the reason, but also hugged Zhang Ziran and cried.
If I don't skin and bone that monkey with my own hands, how can I live in the world again? Zhang Ziran said cruelly in his heart.
But it is said that the Western Paradise, the Pure Land of Ten Billion Buddhas, and the Bright World of Longhua. The Buddhas of the Glazed Void World, the Vajra Void World, the Pure Land Cyathula World, the Infinite World, the Sumeru Lightless World, the Sandalwood Pure and Quiet World, etc., descended one by one. The sun and the moon were covered by the Buddha's light.
In the entire Chang'an City, every house was shaken and the soldiers were noisy. If it weren't for the worship of the Three Pure Ones, and the tradition of destroying Buddhism and respecting Taoism for hundreds of years, they would have converted to Buddhism long ago. Even so, the situation is not optimistic.
Li Yuan held the Divine Whip and looked at the other side's formation. He saw the rain of flowers falling from the sky, and his ears were full of Buddhist sounds. It was like the once-in-three-hundred-year-old Sutra Discussion Conference. As long as the people in Xi Niu Hezhou did not convert to Buddhism, they would be extremely irritated when they heard the scriptures.
Now Li Yuan was also extremely irritable. At that moment, he and the Eight Golden Immortals of Xuandu Sect and Jiang Ziya got off the tower and returned to the palace. He saw Yun Zhongzi coming down from the sky and saw the Buddhas descending from the sky. He laughed and said: "It is also because his fate has run out and his mind is in chaos, so he is seeking death. No one can save him. I have already met the head teacher. You should burn incense to welcome the teacher.
At that time, the city was surrounded by a large army, and the people in the city were in a panic. The soldiers were scattered and fighting in a mess. But these dozen people did not care at all, and they were confident. They talked and laughed. They bathed and burned incense slowly, and went to the center to pray after paying taxes. It was really like seeing a mountain collapse in front of them without changing their faces. The other party's fate has run out, and it is useless to make a huge move.
Now my Buddha's fate is decided under the city of Chang'an, and all Buddhas must not neglect it. Master Amitabha and my master Zhunti Taoist will come here to compete with the Yuanshi of the Chanjiao. You should set up the Ten Thousand Buddhas to the Zong formation. By tomorrow, we will capture Chang'an City in one fell swoop, turn the tide, and save our Buddhist sect from disaster.
Li Sheng held the Xuanyuan Sword and built a huge reed tent on a flat land of ten thousand miles outside the city. There were flowers and colorful decorations on it, and there were pearls hanging from the garlands. Countless large golden lamps were burning on both sides. In the golden lamps, there were relics floating, emitting a strong sandalwood Buddhist fragrance.
For a time, even the outside of Chang'an City seemed to have become the Western Paradise.
One day, all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Jie Di, Vajra, etc. all came to the army. Seeing that they all came, Li Sheng appeared the golden body of Dou Sheng Buddha, which was ten feet tall, with twenty-four heads and eighteen arms.
The Dou Sheng Buddha held garlands, umbrellas, flower pots, fish intestines, blessed treasure pestles, treasure files, relics, and scriptures in his eighteen hands. The Jieying God Banner was hung above his head. The Xuanyuan Holy Sword stood in front of the seat, with monkeys on both sides and Wukong Taoist sitting upright, as if they were one. All of them had clouds of celebration on their heads. The three were connected into one. All the Buddhas praised the power of Dou Sheng Buddha.
It was getting darker and darker, and there were no stars, sun or moon. But the precious light of the Buddhas seemed to illuminate the three realms.
All the Buddhas of the Western Paradise had arrived, except for Sakyamuni Buddha, the Lord of the Saha World, and Vairocana Tathagata, the Lord of the Tantric Buddhism. Fighting and Victory Buddha was also a Buddha of the Saha World, but he had to be careful.
The Buddha Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who was transformed by the Buddha Ksitigarbha, brought Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva and others, the Buddha of the Sunlight King brought the Sunlight Bodhisattva, the Buddha of Maitreya brought the monk Yisani Bodhisattva, the Vajra Indestructible Buddha led the Angry Vajra, the Dharma-Spraying Vajra and other eight Vajras, and the other Buddhas were all disciples of Amitabha Buddha.
Now they all came and broke through Chang'an City in one fell swoop, but they saw that Sakyamuni Buddha and Vairocana Tathagata, who had the highest magical power among all the Buddhas, did not appear, and they could not help but feel angry, thinking that the two Buddhas did not dare to come and were afraid of death. The Fighting Buddha originally held a middle-level position in the Western Paradise, but he was a disciple of Zhunti Taoist and had many connections with Nuwa. He also returned to the mortal world from Nirvana to save the fortune of Buddhism. It was his great determination and great ambition that Amitabha Buddha handed over the Guiding God Banner to him. Therefore, all Buddhas now respect the Fighting Buddha as the most respected.
When Li Sheng heard the Buddha's question about saving all living beings, he also thought to himself: Monk Wuchao is unusual and will seek good fortune and avoid disaster. But now a war is inevitable, he must know why he doesn't come. If Chang'an is broken, it will be a miracle, and we can rebuild the Saha world and become the Buddha of the world. If the Buddha is destroyed, we will have no way to live.
As he was talking, suddenly, a red sun, a golden cloud of fragrance, and two Tathagatas descended. It was Sakyamuni Buddha and Zen Master Wuchao, and a golden Buddha appeared on his head, which was the Great Sun Tathagata.
The four great celestial masters, the Buddha of Burning Lamp, the Buddha of Dingguang Joy, the Buddha of Vinaya, the Buddha of Juliusun, the Bodhisattva of Avalokitesvara, the Bodhisattva of Manjusri, the Bodhisattva of Puxian, and the disciples of the Golden Immortals of Shushan, went to meet him.
After this battle, I will reopen the Saha world, and you will all achieve the right fruit.
All the people who came to meet him were those who had apostatized from the Way and entered Buddhism. They were somewhat different from the Buddha of Poetry in the West. When they met, they were a little embarrassed. Now that they met Sakyamuni Buddha, they had their own ideas. Hearing Sakyamuni Buddha's words, he was immediately overjoyed.
I had this intention for a long time, but the catastrophe had not passed. There was nothing I could do, and the Buddha of Burning Lamp was secretly happy. He was also good at changing his ways. How could he not understand the situation in front of him.
When the Buddhas in the West saw Sakyamuni Buddha say this, they felt a little unhappy that the Mahayana would perish and the Hinayana would rise.
At that moment, the two sides sat down, the three thousand Buddhas in the West. Bodhisattvas, Vajra, and Arhats are on one side, led by Maitreya Buddha. Sakyamuni Buddha, Wuchao Zen Master, Dipankara and others are on the other side. It is really clear. Dousheng Buddha, Monkey, and Wukong are naturally in the center.
It is gradually getting to the morning, and the sun is shining, but it is still covered by the Buddha's light in the sky, so it is not very useful.
The monkey is impatient and jumps up and says: Now that all the Buddhas have arrived, it is just right to rush into Chang'an in one fell swoop, so that the Chan Sect will lose the foundation of the human leader, and see how it will fight us.
Maitreya Buddha said: We have to wait for the head teacher to come before we can break it up. Sakyamuni Buddha said that this is very true.
Li Sheng nodded and said: That's it, just wait for the teacher to come. You can recite the scriptures to make the momentum of ten thousand Buddhas paying homage. Let the soldiers and civilians in Chang'an convert to our Buddha.
Maitreya Buddha said: That's right. At this moment, Maitreya Buddha was in the center, and the three thousand Buddhas in the Western Heaven came down from the reed hut. With a finger, lotus flowers appeared on the vast plain, and all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Vajra, and Arhats sat on them. Reciting scriptures and chanting Buddha's name. Sakyamuni and others did not enter the Western Heaven, but remained on the reed hut.
Nanchong Amitabha
Nanchong Amitabha
Namo Amitabha
The sound of Buddha was endless and resounded throughout the world.
Not long after, the city of Chang'an became even more noisy, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and the prohibitions on the city tower had disappeared.
The monkey could not bear it, and stood up and used his fire eyes to watch. He saw that the city gates on all sides were wide open. The soldiers and civilians in the city all kowtowed as they stepped out, shouting loudly: We are willing to convert to Buddha. We are willing to convert to Buddha.
The generals with high cultivation were barely able to resist the Buddhist sound. Seeing that the soldiers and civilians were all leaving the city, they could not help but get angry and scolded them repeatedly, some stabbed the leaders with flying swords, and some whipped them with whips, which made the city more chaotic and shouting. In a moment, these generals also dropped their weapons and knelt down.
Seeing this scene, the monkey couldn't help but grin and laugh.
The Buddhist sound continued for several hours, and gradually fewer people came. The army and civilians stationed in Chang'an City all bowed out and were led by Li Sheng to the back to listen to the sutra.
After another hour, no one came out, and Chang'an City seemed to be empty.
What a situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides, being surrounded by enemies on all sides, hahahahaha The monkey couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh: Now the city is empty, it's really a cauldron. We will kill our way in.
Yun Zhongzi, Li Yuanxuan, Ziya, Qingniu, Lü Dongbin, He Xiangu, Tieguai Li, Guangchengzi and others all burned incense and turned a blind eye to the Buddhist sound outside the city. The generals, soldiers and even Kunlun disciples around them were brainwashed by the Buddhist sound. They converted to Buddhism.
Ten thousand Buddhas are paying homage to the Buddha, which is indeed extraordinary.
At this time, there were only sixteen people left in Chang'an City, lonely and desolate.
Suddenly, a crane cried, and fragrant clouds hung on the ground. The mist was hanging down, and the sixteen people knew that it was Yuanshi Tianzun who came. They all prostrated themselves: Master Shengshou.
Yuanshi Tianzun made a nine-dragon agarwood sedan chair, served by the white crane boy and the South Pole Immortal, and landed in the city. But he did not get off the car, just said: You all stand up.
The sixteen people stood up, and Yuanshi Tianzun looked around. Seeing that there was no one in the city, he couldn't help but smile and said: You all follow me out of the city to see the Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Master.
The Nan Ji Xian Weng and the White Crane Boy pushed Yuanshi out first, followed by Yun Zhongzi and sixteen others. They came out from the main gate of Chang'an City.
But the monkey saw that the city was empty. He was about to shout and rush into the city, rubbing his hands and even picking up his stick. Suddenly, he heard the cry of the white crane. The mist was lingering. Li Sheng couldn't help but say in surprise: Yuanshi Tianzun has arrived.
The monkey shouted: We are the Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Master, why should we be afraid of him, and the teacher will be here soon. Chang'an City is already an empty city, with only a few disciples of the Chan Sect, and they are not a big deal.
As he was talking, Yuanshi brought his disciples, a total of nineteen people came out.
Yun Zhongzi shouted: The Yuanshi Sect Master has arrived, why don't you come to see him.
The monkey listened. He laughed and said: I am a Buddha, you are a Taoist, we are from different sects, and now we are even more hostile. You want me to come and pay my respects, this is a big joke.
Li Sheng hurriedly grabbed the monkey, and Maitreya Buddha came out of the Ten Thousand Buddhas. He stepped forward to pay his respects to Yuanshi.
Yuanshi asked: Your master and I have signed the Conferred God List, and the luck of Buddhism has run out. Why don't you respect the destiny and go out in full force to disrupt the three realms.
Maitreya Buddha said: The disciple does not know about the Conferred God List, and it is not easy to explain it to the leader. I will just wait for my master to come. I will explain it to the leader in person.
Yuanshi sighed: After all, he is a fool. Once the catastrophe comes, he does not know the time. After the Conferred God List is signed, even we Pangu Siqing Sect Masters cannot regret it. What's more, it is your master and you three thousand Buddhas. Today's catastrophe has come, and no one can save it. It's a pity.
When Maitreya heard this, he was shocked and said to Yuanshi: The leader wants to take advantage of my master's future and bully the weak. He lost face for no reason. We are three thousand Buddhas, and ten thousand Buddhas pay homage to the leader. We are not afraid of the leader's power.
After saying this, he hurried back and sat on the lotus platform.
For a moment, three thousand Buddhas, five hundred Arhats, Bodhisattvas, Vajra, Jie Di, Gong Cao, Li Shi, and the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons. All recited to themselves: Namo Amitabha
Suddenly, the sky and the earth were filled with Buddha's light, and the heaven and the underworld were shaken by the infinite Buddha's sound.
Wen Lanxin was in the Lingxiao Hall of the Heavenly Palace. Suddenly, Buddha's light rushed up from the lower world. The boundless and magnificent Namo Amitabha shook the Jade Palace and the Golden Heaven.
Quickly open the Zhoutian Xingdou Great Array. Wen Lanxin hurriedly gave orders, and the three hundred and sixty-five star gods hurriedly opened the power of the stars to stabilize the heaven. But the Buddhist sound still penetrated between heaven and earth.
When Yuanshi Tianzun saw this scene, he nodded and said: "It is a side door, but it is extraordinary after all." But he slapped the chariot. It flew down the field slowly. Into the infinite Buddha light.
Vajra Indestructible Buddha happened to be in front. Seeing the movement in front, Yuanshi Tianzun entered the field. He thought to himself: Even if you are the leader, can you compete with all my disciples in the West with one person?
At that moment, he had the same feeling towards the Buddha of Universal Salvation, the Buddha of Treasure Moonlight, the Buddha of Treasure Sunlight, the Buddha of Maitreya, the Buddha of Pure Joy, and other Buddhas with profound magic power. Vajra Indestructible Buddha roared, stood up, and suddenly his body swelled up, thousands of feet high, his body seemed like a golden light, and a pair of big hands covered the sky and earth, fiercely covering Yuanshi.
Then, the three thousand Buddhas attacked together, and there was only a sticky Buddha light that was almost solid in the whole field.
Yuanshi Tianzun sighed and pointed his finger. The Vajra Indestructible Buddha shrank rapidly like a deflated ball. It fell on the lotus seat.
Yuanshi flipped his hand and took out the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi. With a bang, he killed the Vajra Indestructible Buddha. Zhenling went to the Fengshen Platform.
Yuanshi turned around again, regarded the Buddha's light as useless, and killed Maitreya Buddha, Baoyueguangwang Buddha, and Baoriguangwang Buddha. Afterwards, he took out a box called Yuanshi Hunyuan Box and threw it into the air.
With a puff, the remaining Buddhas, five hundred Arhats, Bodhisattvas, Vajra, Jie Di, Gongcao, Li Shi, Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons, and Buddha's Sons in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaozong Formation were all put into the box.
The Buddha's light suddenly disappeared, and the world was clear and silent. The whole place was empty.
In a moment, countless Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, etc. in the box turned into pus and blood. Those who were on the list went up to the Conferred God Platform, and those who were not on the list turned into ashes.
Yuanshi Tianzun killed three thousand Buddhas and all the Buddhas before leaving the venue.
