Chapter 401 Fengdu Imperial Palace
Chapter 401 Fengdu Imperial Palace
“No, if you stay here and don’t go out, you’re not Erlang Shen anymore.” After hearing what the Bodhisattva said, Xiansheng Zhenjun left without looking back.
Guanyin watched Zhenjun go away and sighed softly.
Many years ago, He heard someone say something.
Would you rather be a cicada buried deep in the soil your whole life, or choose to break out of the soil, fly into the sky, but die soon after?
The man chose the latter and said to Guanzizai: "Bodhisattva, do immortals and Buddhas live for a moment or for eternity? I thought it was the former."
From then on, there was no more golden cicada in the world.
However, the Jin Chanzi, who was free and easy, wise, dared to belittle Buddhism, and revealed profound insights into Buddhist principles, seemed to live forever in the hearts of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan.
The ancestor of earthly immortals once said that among the immortals and Buddhas in the three realms and six paths, no one is willing to be as pedantic and old-fashioned as Tang Sanzang, but there are always people who yearn to live like Jin Chanzi.
The ancestor of earthly immortals said it absolutely.
In fact, gods and Buddhas have experienced so much that they rarely dare to be "absolute."
You need to be thorough, tactful, and look ahead and behind when doing things.
They already have everything that ordinary people cannot have, so they need to preserve these rather than explore and advance.
Ambitious people are rarer the more ancient the existence, the more rare they are.
Because they can't afford to lose.
There is no doubt that Xiansheng Zhenjun has broken this shackles.
He was not afraid of failure.
This is also the biggest obstacle for Guanyin.
But Ksitigarbha was not afraid of failure, so he fell.
There are many such examples.
However, in Guanyin's heart, Ksitigarbha is not truly dead.
There will always be someone to realize his ideas and dreams and move in this direction.
Avalokitesvara shook his head and pointed towards the clear pool next to him. The origin of the five elements sent by the True Lord turned into a five-colored lotus.
In essence, the five-colored lotus before one's eyes is exactly the same as the five-colored divine stone that was used to repair the sky.
The predecessor of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly God was the spirit pearl of Queen Nuwa. Now his new body has the same origin as the five-colored stones that Queen Nuwa used to mend the sky. There really is an indescribable cause and effect in the dark.
When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva thought of this, he thought of the monkey.
The Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, the True Lord of Manifestation, and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven were the three rebellious giants of the Heavenly Court.
As the holy water of the three lights from the pure bottle was poured in, the lotus roots of the five-colored lotus quickly grew out.
Lotus root is the raw material used to make the new body of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly God.
The five-colored lotus flowers by the pond bloomed with a chaotic glow, and golden light flowed between the veins of the lotus leaves.
When a drop of Three Lights Divine Water fell on the lotus heart again, the entire Luojia Mountain suddenly became silent, and even the waves of Chaoyin Cave solidified into colored glaze.
"Click."
The cracks in the lotus stem revealed crystal-clear jade-like lotus nodes. Each lotus node showed the innate Bagua array pattern, and the innate purple air was breathing in and out of the lotus hole.
The Bodhisattva lightly tapped the air with his fingertips.
"The spirit pearl returns to its place."
As the Sanskrit sound rang out, the true spirit of Lingzhuzi that was shattered in the past gathered from the heavens and the universe.
The five-colored lotus root suddenly grew seven orifices, the lotus nodes stretched into limbs, the lotus leaves turned into ochre yellow battle robes, and the roots entangled into the shape of Hun Tian Ling.
The Three Lights Divine Water in the pool was boiling, reflecting Nezha's past when he removed his bones to return them to his father during the Conferred Gods Tribulation.
"Duh!"
The Bodhisattva suddenly threw a willow branch into the pond. The branch grew as soon as it came into contact with the water, and turned into a three-thousand-foot-long circle that trapped the lotus incarnation.
At this moment, nine kinds of thunder and lightning descended from the sky, but they were all absorbed by the Jingping and refined into a protective divine light in the Lingtai square inch.
When the last stream of innate energy poured into his head, the lotus root incarnation suddenly opened his eyes.
What flowed in his pupils was no longer the blazing flames of the sky, but the chaotic and clear light unique to the five-colored divine stone.
Nezha raised his new palm, and the palm was naturally imprinted with the "Mediating the Creation" Wa Empress Seal - this was an innate Taoist pattern that even his previous life's Lingzhu body did not have.
"How does it feel?" The Bodhisattva flicked his sleeves lightly, and the water in the pool condensed into a mirror.
The young god of war in the mirror was riding on a wind-fire wheel and had his arms wrapped around the Hun Tian Ling, looking exactly the same as in his previous life, except that every strand of his hair was glowing with five-colored light.
When Nezha clenched his fist, his knuckles cracked like thunder.
He suddenly laughed and said, "This body is good. It has some cause and effect with that monkey."
The Bodhisattva nodded, and a golden lotus flew out of the bottle and sank into Nezha's forehead.
At this time, the sound of a fire spear breaking through the air could be heard outside the purple bamboo forest - the magical weapon that had been reincarnated with the spirit pearl, sensing the return of its master, actually split the void and flew over.
Nezha caught the spear in mid-air, and what the tip of the spear raised was not fire, but star sand transformed from the origin of the five elements.
He suddenly felt something in his heart, and his sight unexpectedly escaped from the Guanyin Dojo and looked towards the realm where the underworld was. He smiled and said, "It seems that my second brother has found himself a good opponent again."
The Hun Tian Ling moved without wind, and the scene of Xu Qing and Xian Sheng Zhenjun fighting in Fengdu appeared on the surface of the silk.
The young man who returned from the calamity was even stronger than in the previous era.
Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "Nezha, you have just been resurrected, so you cannot use your magic power casually. Wait until I use the Three Flames to burn your body for 49 days, and then your body will be complete. Otherwise, it will collapse again at any time."
Nezha frowned when he heard this.
Guanzizai did not allow Nezha to refute him, so he threw the pure bottle into the air, facing the newborn boy. The mouth of the bottle sucked, and in the blink of an eye, the boy was locked in the pure bottle.
Guanyin breathed a sigh of relief.
The forty-nine days in the Purple Bamboo Forest are equivalent to five hundred years in the human world. It is absolutely impossible for that brat to get out.
When these five hundred years are over and the endless killing calamity begins, Nezha, who was born as a killing star, will still be of great use to Him.
However, I need to explain it in detail to the monk Hui'an.
He thought about it and called the Dragon Girl to give her a few words. Then the Dragon Girl broke a willow branch from the Bodhisattva, broke through the void and left.
When leaving, Nezha's cry was heard from the bottle.
"Buddha, if you don't let me out, I will pee in your bottle."
"Good Fortune Boy, Samadhi True Fire!" The Bodhisattva just ignored him and gave another instruction to a boy in red clothes beside him.
...
...
"My lord, this is the entrance to Fengdu Imperial Palace." Even though Fengdu City God is the god of the underworld, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat at this moment.
The Taoist priest in front of him was extraordinary. He actually repelled the clone of Xiansheng Zhenjun.
This is good, he finally got his City God's Palace back.
Without the City God’s Palace, what kind of City God is he?
However, Grandpa Zhenjun is not someone you can easily mess with.
The City God of Fengdu had already prepared sufficient personnel etiquette to bribe Judge Cui and try to transfer him as soon as possible. In the past, when Fengdu Emperor was in Fengdu City, the City God here could be said to have a hard job. Later, when Fengdu Emperor disappeared, he became a popular person.
But now that there is a fairy near Fengdu City, and with the matter of Xiansheng Zhenjun, the position of Fengdu City God has undoubtedly become a hot potato.
How could such a clever ghost like him stay here obediently?
Go!
But when Xu Shangxian came to ask about the Fengdu Imperial Palace, the old City God did not hide it but did his best.
Xu Qing glanced at the imperial palace in front of him and smiled, "Thank you, Lord. If you want to transfer to another place, here is a letter I wrote to Judge Cui. He will give me face."
The City God of Fengdu took the letter and was overjoyed.
With Xu Qing as the guarantor, the matter will be settled.
After all, in the underworld, whoever has the bigger fist has the greater reason.
Is there anyone more famous than Xu Shangxian in the underworld right now?
This thing needs to be used quickly.
The underworld is a toilet, and it is common to see the flags on the city walls changing.
If Xu Shangxian gets driven away one day, his letter will be like a firewood stick and will be useless.
Use a letter to send away the City God of Fengdu.
Xu Qing looked at the imperial palace in front of him and said to the thin black divine dog beside him: "Lord God, can we go in now?"
In the Fengdu Imperial Palace, there is an imperial robe left by the emperor, which is the key to entering the wheel of life and death in the heavens.
Xu Qing was more cautious. He did not go directly to the Wheel of Life and Death before obtaining the emperor's robe.
Thin Black Divine Dog: "There are four levels of hell in the Imperial Palace. As long as we get through them, we can reach the core of Fengdu Imperial Palace."
"Let's go then."
...
...
Xu Qing and the thin black divine dog came to the imperial palace.
The scene in front of me suddenly changed.
This is a huge hall that is probably thousands or even tens of thousands of miles wide. Under the feet are bronze floor tiles that exude a primitive aura.
Suddenly, black gas emerged in front of them, and as it rolled violently, a ghostly shadow grew rapidly in size, and in a flash it was tens of thousands of feet tall. It was like the sky and the earth, and was wearing an extremely heavy black armor. Its face was hidden behind the helmet, giving people a majestic and heavy feeling.
With his appearance, the space showed signs of being torn apart.
"This is the giant spirit god from ancient heaven who was refined into a puppet by the Emperor of Fengdu after his death. He has been absorbing the energy of the Nine Netherworld in the underworld for who knows how many years, and his strength is even not weaker than when he was alive." The thin black divine dog revealed the origin of the giant god in front of him.
The giant spirit god who used the power of changing the laws of heaven and earth was like a divine mountain supporting the sky, with the sky above its head and the earth under its feet. Xu Qing and the thin black divine dog were as small as mosquitoes in front of it. It swung a punch, and the mighty pressure of the avenue was generated. The laws of heaven and earth tightened, and the space shattered into pieces. Dark and empty cracks appeared in the dim sky. The feeling of destruction and terror rushed into people's minds, and the sky and the earth changed color.
Xu Qing felt as if he was in a closed and depressing little world, where he was alone, helpless, and the world was gradually collapsing, making it difficult to escape or resist.
The yin and yang energies in his body moved slightly, and the Tai Chi diagram began to rotate, suppressing these distracting thoughts.
It turns out that Xu Qing is now like a giant tree supporting the sky. There are countless evil spirits and even demons trying to take root in him. Once Xu Qing encounters something, these things will come out and frantically absorb the essence from him as nourishment for their own growth.
Xu Qing's yin and yang energies can shatter all things, even the evil spirits and the inner demons.
These things can be said to be a loss rather than a gain, and instead became nutrients for Xu Qing's practice.
But it is not so easy to deal with the giant spirit in front of you.
This is the Fengdu Imperial Palace. Xu Qing is entering the domain of the Fengdu Emperor, who has been rooted in Fengdu for eternity. His great Dao is naturally suppressed, while the Giant Spirit God is blessed by the great Dao of the Fengdu Emperor.
This is changing!
But Xu Qing is not afraid of even Xiansheng Zhenjun, so naturally he will not be afraid of the giant spirit.
Facing the pressure from the giant spirit, Xu Qing gently uttered a word "Zha".
This was the first sound of killing in the Taiyi Era, when the world was first created.
It was also after the True Lord stole a trace of the five elements' origin in his body that the bronze mirror inexplicably displayed magical powers not long ago.
The killing power of this "Zha" is extremely strong and has unlimited potential.
The giant spirit's fist came crashing down with the Nine Netherworld Thunder. Before the fist arrived, 360 Fengdu Emperor Seals appeared in the air, each suppressing a Yellow Spring tributary.
The blue bricks under Xu Qing's feet began to crack, and evil spirits accumulated over thousands of years surged out of the cracks.
"Zha!" The primordial killing sound of the word "Zha" resounded throughout the Imperial Palace and actually condensed into materialized chaotic ripples in front of Xu Qing.
The Fengdu Emperor Seal on the giant spirit's fist collided with the ripples, and the exploding shock wave cleared out all the evil spirits of the underworld within a hundred miles, revealing the bronze floor tiles below that were engraved with mysterious scriptures.
"Crack."
The armor on the right arm of the giant spirit cracked into spider web patterns, revealing the purple star sand flowing inside.
These star sands were originally precious treasures bestowed by the ancient heaven on the gods as body protectors, but now they were peeling off in the innate killing sound.
Xu Qing took the opportunity to put his fingers together like swords, and the yin and yang energies surged out from his dantian, transforming into a pair of black and white dragons that twisted towards the puppet's joints.
"Roar!"
The giant spirit roared towards the sky, and the incomplete imperial seal reorganized into the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk.
As the wheel of reincarnation turned, the illusion of the Eighteen Layers of Hell suddenly appeared under Xu Qing's feet, and the mountains of swords and seas of fire took shape as a real killing array.
The thin black divine dog's hair ignited with mysterious fire, igniting the giant spirit: "Master, be careful, this is the Six Paths Prison Suppression Formation of the Emperor of Fengdu!"
Xu Qing did not avoid or give way, and a five-colored divine light shot up from behind him. The green light swept across the mountain of swords, and the black iron blades all turned into peach wood; the red light swept across the sea of fire, and the Nine Nether Flames turned into Samadhi True Fire; the yellow light suppressed the phantom of hell, the black light devoured the wheel of reincarnation, and the white light went straight to the giant spirit god's brow.
As the five elements rotated, the foundation of the formation collapsed.
The body of the giant spirit puppet suddenly disintegrated, and its ten thousand-foot-tall body turned into the phantoms of a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers.
The Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation formed by these heavenly soldiers is surprisingly seven points similar to the methods of Xiansheng Zhenjun.
Xu Qing smiled faintly, and the power of the metal element of the Five Elements in his body exploded, transforming into thousands of chains that nailed the phantom of the heavenly soldier in the void.
Afterwards, the Yin-Yang Grinding Wheel flew out and directly ground these heavenly soldiers to death.
"Lord God, this hurdle has been passed." Xu Qing stood with his hands behind his back, smiling slightly.
The thin black divine dog retracted the mysterious fire from its body and was filled with admiration.
This Immortal Xu Qing is increasingly showing the demeanor of those ancient immortals.
The black divine dog said: "Master, the next three levels should not be underestimated. Please continue to be careful."
Xu Qing asked curiously, "Lord God, if I weren't here, how would you have gotten through this difficult time in the Imperial Palace?"
The thin black dog blushed, "I'm afraid that my method can't be used by the Taoist priest."
Xu Qing saw it was hesitating, as if it had something to hide. Although he was curious, Xu Qing still didn't ask. He smiled and said, "If the back is too troublesome and stumps me, the God can go in by himself."
The black divine dog said: "Master, don't worry. I will borrow the imperial robe for a while and will definitely not swallow it."
Xu Qing waved his hand: "Don't worry, Lord God. I came here just to gain some experience. It doesn't matter if there is any result or not."
The principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and the principles of Taiyi, are all-encompassing. The more he sees and the more he understands, the stronger Xu Qing will naturally become.
