Outside the thirty-three heavens, there is still an uncivilized chaos, with rumbling sounds, no distinction between yin and yang, and the whole world is like a paste, everything is in a ball, there is no edge, no idea how big it is, as if it is eternal and infinite. It is nothing compared to the strange world below.
At this time, Zhou Qing came out of the Tiandao Palace, holding a stick and stepping on the hemp, with an expressionless face, walking calmly, and walked to the sky where the Nuwa Palace is located. After calling the fairy at the door, Zhou Qing went directly into the Nuwa Palace. He saw Nuwa sitting in the palace. Eyun is beautiful and very dignified, which is the most moving color in the three realms.
When the empress saw Zhou Qing coming, she asked: Now there is a dispute between your Tiandao Sect and Yuanshi Chan Sect at the gate of the two realms. In the three realms, there are clouds of evil. You and Tongtian Sect Master set up two great formations, Jiaotian Shensha and Zhuxian. Now Lao Dan and Yuanshi have come down to earth to suppress the clouds of evil. You are an important figure, why don't you come down to earth to fight? Why do you come to me?
Nuwa empress became the leader of the human sect, and she was happy, but she didn't want to be estranged from Laojun. Now Zhou Qing came, she knew that something was related.
Zhou Qing said: The empress has been the leader of the human sect since the four sects and the three merchants, and it is not unrelated to me. Now my Tiandao is the orthodox of the human sect, but Chan Sect has raised troops to attack, and I came to find the empress for something. When the seven saints signed the contract to confer the gods, they naturally had to gather at the gate of the two realms to form the heavenly way. Now that the two leaders of the Western Heaven have lost their bliss, they are still in the three realms, but they have signed the contract to confer the gods, and they have to come out to resolve it, otherwise there will be no peace. The empress has to say something, and then we can enjoy the peaceful road for 5.6 billion years.
The empress Nuwa was surprised and said: "That's true. I am the only one who can do this, but it may not be beneficial for the two leaders of the West to come out. Although the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has continued since the battle of conferring the gods, there is naturally a lot of resentment. But there is also hatred with the heavenly way, isn't it another way for the fisherman to take advantage? The lesson of the last battle of conferring the gods was like this, why did the leader of the heavenly way have this idea again? Even if it is cause and effect, it should be stopped as much as possible. It should be settled by descending to the mortal world, why did he take the initiative to bring up this matter?
Zhou Qing said: First, it is good to have clear words, so that we don't have to be cautious about the dispute between our two sects, and we can't decide who is superior after all. Second, the dispute between the two sects in front of the two realms is just the right time to end the great catastrophe of the opening of Hongmeng, which is not trivial. My Tiandao was born in the killing catastrophe. I also became a saint in the killing catastrophe. It is the interpretation of the protagonist, and there is absolutely no reason to fail.
Nuwa Niangniang nodded and said: This is very good. The six of us are all innate saints, but you are acquired. This catastrophe, the killing catastrophe that has accumulated and entangled for 5.6 billion years, is just for you to be the protagonist to end it. Although Lao Dan and Yuanshi have Pangu Banner and Taijitu, two innate magic tools, they still can't do anything to you. I have my own arrangements for this matter.
Zhou Qing said: This is the good thing. I know that Niangniang has a plan in mind, but I just follow this routine and talk a little, and then I'll leave.
The empress said: "Have a safe journey, I won't see you off." Zhou Qing laughed and left the palace. From heaven to the two worlds. The empress Nuwa waited for Zhou Qing to say goodbye, but ordered the fairies under her seat to arrange the phoenix carriage and go to the west. Not long after, they passed Lingtai Fangcun Mountain. They saw that the cave door was closed, there was no boy at the door, and the vines were twisted and a bit desolate. The empress secretly said: Zhunti Taoist is not here. You have to go to the west to find him.
The empress arrived at the place where the Western Paradise was located in a blink of an eye. It was so hazy that you couldn't distinguish black and white, and there was no color. The ancient temple of Dileiyin, the pure land of the Ten Billion Buddha Kingdoms, the Glazed World, the Dragon Flower Light, and the three thousand Buddhas were all gone.
The empress Nuwa said: The Paradise does not exist, it is a fixed number. Since the creation of the world, there has been a rise and a fall. Now is the time for the Buddhist sect to pass away and enter the Mahayana. How can we do anything about it?
Then she heard the blue phoenix spread its wings and cry loudly. The goddess went deep into the chaos. After a while, she saw a slight light in the distance. She went forward and saw the Taoist Zhunti and Amitabha coming to greet her. There was not even a little monk next to them. There were only two leaders who were alone.
The goddess came and I hope I will forgive me for not welcoming you from afar. Amitabha said with his palms folded. Zhunti also held the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in one hand and saluted with one hand, which was considered to be meeting the goddess.
The goddess was surprised and said: How come the two leaders have not even cut off the incense and the direct lineage, but there is no monk to serve.
Zhunti said nothing, Amitabha said: The goddess must have come to divide the teachings this time, and please take a seat, I will talk to you later. The goddess Nuwa said: It's just right. But I followed the two leaders of the Western Heaven into the depths of chaos, and saw two lotus platforms, one with seven colors and the other with four grades, which were four colors. Apart from that, the four sides were empty, empty and quiet.
Wait for the two Western religions to sit down.
Nuwa Niangniang did not get off the Luan, and heard Amitabha Buddha say: Now that the great catastrophe has come, my Buddhist disciples will not exist, and they will all be in extinction, and they will have the hope of being reborn in 5.6 billion years. This is a fixed number. The novice monks and monks around us are all those who have converted to my Buddhist teachings. This extinction is perfect, regardless of closeness, and this is also the essence of my Zen. That's why the Niangniang saw it like this.
Nuwa Niangniang said: Even so, I didn't expect it to be so clean. At that moment, he chuckled twice, and Zhunti Taoist's face showed that Amitabha Buddha still had a miserable look. This supreme Buddha of the Western Heaven seemed to always be this yellow-faced, thin, and miserable.
The two leaders sat down and entered Nirvana perfectly, but they enjoyed a good period of peace. However, at that time, the four religions discussed together, and the seven saints signed the Conferred God List together. Now it has become a dispute between the two religions, and it will be settled at the gate of the two worlds. However, after the three merchants signed, the two leaders did not settle this matter, and they still could not be at peace. They had to get out of this chaos and transcend the mortal world.
These two leaders are really like this. Even when three thousand Buddhas, five hundred Arhats, Bodhisattvas, Vajra, and hundreds of millions of Buddhist disciples and monks were destroyed by Yuanshi Tianzun in Chang'an City, the two leaders did not care. Wukong Taoist, Monkey, Fighting and Victory Buddha died one by one. Zhunti, the famous leader in the three worlds who protected his shortcomings, was also indifferent. There was indeed no reason to sign the Conferred God List with his own hands.
There is no need to remind the queen of this. My brother and I understand it. We still need to think about it. The battle at the gate of the two worlds will end. Zhunti said.
Since that's the case, I'll just watch the performance quietly. After hearing this, Nuwa Niangniang had no intention of staying for long. After saying this, she turned the Luan frame and returned to the palace without saying anything.
The leader of the Western C position got up and saw the Niangniang, the leader of the Human Sect, off. Seeing that they were leaving, Zhunti Taoist said to Amitabha: Brother, do you see that all my Buddhist disciples have passed away perfectly before, which means that their fate has run out. It's useless for us to go, and we can't save them. We will lose face for nothing, which is not worth it. Now the dispute between Yuanshi Chan Sect and Tiandao has nothing to do with our sect. We are already idlers, but we insist on intervening. I don't know what to do.
It turned out that Zhunti Taoist was chased and beaten by Zhou Qing, and lost his face. He had a deep hatred. He also had hatred with Tongtian Sect during the Conferred God. Not only that, Zhunti and Yuanshi, Laozi, have a big grudge. In Zishan City, the nine-grade lotus platform was broken, and Laozi hit him in the face with a crutch, hurting his face. Yuanshi Tianzun destroyed Buddhism in a battle under Chang'an City. Both sides have hatred. Now if he insists on intervening, Zhunti will be in trouble.
Amitabha said: We signed the seal of the gods with our own hands, and the two worlds will fight. We must go. Now this calamity is played by the Tiandao Sect as the protagonist. It has been performed for five hundred years. It is the destiny that has no reason to fail. I will go to help. You will see the opportunity at the side door, end this battle, and then destroy the sky in the future.
Zhunti said: This is the only way, but the Hinayana Buddhism will not be destroyed. We will eventually become the Buddha. It is not good to meet the enemy of the Buddha. Amitabha said: The leader of the Tiandao Sect has come to the mortal world, and the Hinayana Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have their own origins. They can come to the mortal world when the time comes.
It turns out that Sakyamuni is a Buddha, but he has not yet entered Chandu, and is still a Buddhist disciple. The two leaders sat in meditation and waited for the time to come before they would worry about it. Let's not talk about it.
Zhou Zhu and Ao Luan came out of the Tiandao Palace, in a trance. They fell into the heavens and went all the way to the Heavenly Palace. They came up from the South Heavenly Gate and went all the way to the Jade Pavilion and Golden Heaven, where they saw the great celestial master Wen Lanxin. Zhou Zhu just started to work, and hurriedly said to Wen Lanxin: Now that Ba Liming was torn to pieces by five horses, Senior Brother Xiaojin's fate has passed. The battle between the two realms is related to the destiny of our Tiandao. The teacher ordered Senior Brother Xiaojin to lead the army to attack Chanjiao.
Wen Lanxin was overjoyed, with a charming smile on his face: I have silently prayed to the teacher for this matter and got guidance. I don't need you to mention it. Now I am going to do this big thing. He then entered the Lingxiao Palace, sat on the throne, and ordered people to activate the golden bell. After a short while, he saw colorful clouds rolling and filling the sky. Countless gods and immortals rolled to the South Heaven Gate, and came all the way up to the Lingxiao Palace to pay homage to the High Emperor of Xuanqiong.
When Wen Lanxin saw that all the ministers had arrived, he said: I am the Emperor of Xuanqiong, and the blood of the Emperor Nuwa, the leader of the Human Religion, was personally granted by the Nuwa God. Now there is the Chan Sect, which despises the Human Emperor. The Human Emperor asks the heaven, and we should attack it together.
The three fairies Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao, together with the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming, Shen Gongbao and other people from the Jie Sect were all very happy, and stepped forward and said: We are willing to be the vanguard to attack the Chan Sect together.
Wen Lanxin said: You all have karma to settle, so you naturally have to go down to the world to fight. He ordered: My master, the head of the Tiandao Sect, has a decree, ordering him to lead the army to bring down the power of heaven, and he cannot disobey.
He then said: Liao Xiaojin, Red Boy, Yang Miaomiao, Lingzhuzi, Ao Luan, the five of you, each lead an army of three million and five hundred thousand ships to the Liangjie Pass to help.
He also said to the three fairies Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao, as well as the god of wealth Zhao Gongming and Shen Gongbao: You can support them from the side, but you must obey the military orders and not disobey.
These people all received the mandate from heaven, and Shen Gongbao stepped forward and said: I have something to report.
Wen Lanxin asked: Just say it. Shen Gongbao said: The Four Emperors of Heaven, the Nine Heavens Demon Master Zhenwu Emperor, practiced the magical powers of the Teng Snake and the Divine Turtle, and now it is just right to order him to attack the Chan Sect.
After hearing this, Wen Lanxin was overjoyed and said: If so, then issue an order to order Zhenwu to the palace, Shen Gongbao, you go and deliver the order.
Shen Gongbao said: Respect the face of heaven. Wen Lan immediately issued an order and rushed to Beidou Demon Palace. In a moment, Dijiang Sword was extremely fast and had reached Beitianmen. Shen Gongbao arrived at the gate of Beidou Palace, but was stopped by Zhenwu Emperor and the five dragon gods.
Shen Gongbao looked unhappy and said: I followed the order of the Great Heavenly Venerable to summon Zhenwu Emperor to Lingxiao Palace for a meeting. Why did you stop me?
The five dragon gods said: We only respect Zhenwu's order and allow us to go in and report. Shen Gongbao thought to himself: You are still arrogant. Let's see how long it will last. But he said: Go. The five dragon gods went in one by one and told Zhenwu Emperor. Zhenwu was shocked: Now the killing luck is rising. I have been hiding in the palace for hundreds of years. How come I am infected now?
Zhenwu thought deeply for a while, then called Shen Gongbao in and said: This emperor has achieved enlightenment, subdued poisonous dragons and fierce beasts, giant lions, and swept away the evil spirits in the north. I only respect the edicts of Yuanshi Tianzun. I dare not follow the edicts of the Great Tianzun.
Shen Gongbao hurriedly said: This is a deviation. Now Nuwa is the leader of the human religion, and the Great Tianzun is the blood of the Queen Wa, and is extremely noble. Yuanshi Tianzun no longer controls the heaven. The emperors are the emperors of the heaven after all. They eat people's food and are loyal to people. They must respect the edicts of the Great Tianzun.
Zhenwu said: You go back to the Great Tianzun first, let me think about it. Shen Gongbao thought that he was alone and could not do anything to Zhenwu, so he had to leave Beidou Palace and report to Wen Lanxin again.
But Zhenwu secretly said: Shen Gongbao is good at provoking, and now the situation does not allow me to be quiet. Since the army of the Chan Sect is below, I might as well go out and join the Chan Sect. At that moment, he and the five dragon gods packed up and went out of Beidou Palace to the North Gate of Heaven.
Where is the Great Emperor going? At this time, he saw the Great Saint Duxiong Wang guarding the North Gate of Heaven, eating and drinking meat happily. When he saw Zhenwu was about to go out, he quickly stood up and led the army to stop him.
Zhenwu was unhappy when he saw it. The five dragon gods said angrily: The Great Emperor went out, but he came to ask you.
The Great Saint of Driving Gods smiled and said: I am ordered by the Lord of Pangu Tiandao and the Lord of Pangu Tongtian to guard the Heavenly Palace. Without the decree of the Great Heavenly Venerable, even Yuanshi Tianzun cannot enter or leave.
Zhenwu was furious and said: You are a monster, and you dare to say such arrogant words. At that moment, he pointed his hand and a bean-sized Shangqing fairy light popped out, and then the human space exploded, like a raging wave emptying.
The Great Saint of Driving Gods used a long spear to resist, but the five dragon gods had already pounced on him and fought with the surrounding earth and heaven soldiers.
When Shen Gongbao returned to Lingxiao and told him about the situation, he heard the alarm bell ringing at the North Heaven Gate. Wen Lanxin was furious and said: This beast does not respect my orders, and must be shirking his duty and going to the lower world. Sanxiao Fairy, you go and catch him.
Sanxiao Fairy hurried to the North Heaven Gate and saw the Great Emperor Zhenwu fighting the King Yuxiong. She hurried forward and said: Zhenwu, how dare you do this. Yunxiao offered the Hunyuan Golden Bowl and came to take Zhenwu. Bixiao also offered the Golden Dragon Shears.
Seeing this, Zhenwu quickly showed a Teng Snake and a Black Tortoise on his head, wrapped in the Shangqing Fairy Light. Although he was cut several times by the Hunyuan Golden Bowl and lost a thousand years of magic power, he still couldn't do anything to him. The Golden Dragon Shears were also tripped by the Shangqing Fairy Light. After fighting for a long time, Yunxia in the Heavenly Palace was suddenly startled. She sneered and waved the flag of the sun, moon and stars. The whole Heavenly Palace was dark, and the stars were dotted. The huge starlight fell like raindrops and smashed towards Zhenwu. Zhenwu screamed, but was rolled by the five-colored divine light and fell into it. He asked Yunxia to wrap him up with the River Map and Luoshu, and ordered people to go to the Lingxiao Palace.
Wen Lanxin was furious and immediately ordered people to use iron hooks to pierce Zhenwu's scapula. Zhenwu shouted: We are all four emperors, why do you treat me like this.
Wen Lanxin sneered: I won't say much to you. Today, the Heavenly Palace army is going to attack the Chan Sect. When we go out, we are going to sacrifice you. After that, he took off the Abi Sword and ordered Lingzhuzi to push him to the Immortal Execution Platform.
Lingzhuzi said: Li Jing, the Eight Heavenly Dragons Guangli Bailong, Ma Yuanfo, and Shura Demon God are also imprisoned in the Great Prison Heaven. They can be killed together as sacrifices.
Wen Lanxin said: That's exactly what I want.
