A reclining Buddha, lying in the pure land, is like a boundless mountain, and it is difficult to see the end at a glance.Infinite light blooms from the reclining Buddha, illuminating the entire pure land.Make this pure land hidden deep in the chaos, there will be no night, and it will be as bright as day.
Purple bamboo forests, spinosa trees, Udumbara flowers, Vajra glazed pagodas, eight-treasure merit pools... all over the pure land world.Numerous disciples of the Buddha wandered in the pure land, practiced Zen and worshiped the Buddha, free from worries and fears, free and pure.
A Taoist with his head in a bun and holding a bamboo stick, suddenly stepped into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss from the chaos, and came to the reclining Buddha's head as big as a giant mountain. The bamboo stick lightly tapped the Buddha's head, Called: "Fellow Daoist, wake up!"
With a flash of the Buddha's light, an old monk with a height of six feet, a withered face, a sad expression, and a nine-rank lotus platform appeared in front of the Taoist, "Fellow Taoist, why are you calling me?"
"There is no major event, how dare you disturb your cultivation?" The Taoist sighed softly, "You know that the Four Swords of Jade Immortal have appeared in this world."
The old monk was silent, and his already distressed expression added a bit of bitterness, "Unexpectedly, Yuanshi Daoist gave the four swords of Zhuxian to the emperor of Xiji."
This old monk is the Lord of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Amitabha Buddha, one of the two saints in the West.Its incarnation is the well-known guide Taoist, who is responsible for guiding devout Buddhists into the world of bliss.
And the Taoist with the double-clawed bun and the bamboo stick is the quasi-spirited Taoist of the two sages of the West.
As a sage, Amitabha does not need to be allowed to explain to Taoists, as long as he has an introduction, he can know the cause and effect.Therefore, Zhunti only said that the Four Swords of Zhu Xian appeared in the world, and Amitabha Buddha knew it all. pole.
As for the treasures such as the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, obviously only the teacher of the Four Golden Immortals, Yuanshi Tianzun, has the right to dispose of them.
Zhun asked: "Fellow Daoist, can you guess Yuanshi's intention?"
"Difficult." Amitabha shook his head and sighed softly: "Everyone in the world says that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable and the Sacred Will is difficult to understand. As everyone knows, we, the Sages, are also unable to guess the Sage's will."
Only a saint can fight against a saint.The sage claims to be able to see all the secrets of heaven and everything is clear in his heart, but he is still powerless in the face of the existence of the same level.Not only can't spy on the saint's mind, but if one is not careful, he will even be blinded by the saint.
During the Battle of the Conferred Gods back then, the leader of Tongtian Cult was deceived by all the saints and suffered a big loss, and was stolen by the traitors under his sect to steal the six-hundred soul banner, the most treasured treasure.
Therefore, it is useless to spy on the secrets of the sages.You can only guess and infer the other party's intentions like ordinary immortals.
Zhunti said: "In the first battle of Conferred Gods, all three Qings suffered losses. Even Yuanshi and Laozi, the two sages, had no casualties, but they were confined by Teacher Hongjun and lost the freedom to interfere in the Three Realms. You and I, Turned out to be the biggest winner in the Battle of the Conferred Gods. If you say that Fellow Daoist Yuanshi has no dissatisfaction in his heart, I will never believe it."
"So..." Amitabha Buddha said slowly: "Do you think that Fellow Daoist Yuanshi wanted to use a knife to kill people, and to use Xiji's hand to deal with Buddhism?"
"Xijisu and Buddhism are at odds, frequent incidents, and even killings. This is known to the three worlds. Therefore, Yuanshi Daoist's intentions can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye."
Zhunti sighed, and continued: "But what is really worrying is the deeper intentions of Fellow Daoist Yuanshi! You should know that if Fellow Daoist Yuanshi wants to deal with Buddhism, there are plenty of disciples under his sect. The four swords of Zhuxian are the most precious treasures for killing and cutting. There is no need to hand it over to the Emperor of the Western Extremes."
Amitabha said: "Friends of the Tao mean..."
"Yuanshi may have another intention to use the Four Swords of Zhuxian to ease the relationship with the leader of Tongtian." Zhunti said: "You and I know that Xiji is the preacher of Jiejiao. Giving the Four Swords of Zhuxian to Xiji is equivalent to a disguised form. It was returned to Master Tongtian. Yuanshi probably wanted to use this to restore the old relationship of the Sanqing. Otherwise, wouldn’t Yuanshi be worried that Xiji would use the Four Swords to Kill Immortals, and even the Buddhist sects would be cleaned up together?"
Amitabha pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "No way. Yuan Shi gave the sword to Xiji, seemingly to restore the relationship with Tongtian, but with Tongtian's disposition, he would not ask Xiji for the Four Swords of Zhuxian. Even if Xiji took the initiative to hand it back, Tongtian would also I won't take it."
Back then, the Four Swords of Jade Immortals were given to Chanjiao Golden Immortal, and even the Master Tongtian didn't have the cheek to ask his nephews to ask for them, so how could he ask his heirs for the Four Swords?
More importantly, the Four Swords of Zhu Xian was lost in defeat.With the arrogance and self-esteem of the sky, how can he accept this "food from the bottom of the earth" and inherit the favor of the first heaven?
"The three Qings know each other best. How could Yuanshi not know Tongtian's temperament? He had expected that Tongtian would never accept the Four Swords of Zhuxian until he really defeated him and washed away the shame of failure in the Battle of Conferred Gods."
Amitabha continued: "Thus, although the Four Swords of Zhuxian are in the hands of Xiji, they will not return to the master of Tongtian. As long as the four swords of Zhuxian are not in the hands of saints, Yuanshi can take back the four swords at any time. Once Xiji wants to use the four swords to deal with Yuanshi can easily counteract the teachings of the immortals, and will not let Xiji do anything reckless..."
"Then Xiji can only use the Four Swords of Zhuxian to deal with Buddhism?" Zhunti shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In this way, can it be said that he can only deduce Yuanshi's most obvious intentions? Isn't his real intentions still in the fog? Can't see clearly?"
"The sage's schemes can't be seen clearly." Amitabha said: "In the battle of conferring the gods in the past, you and I secretly contributed to the flames, actively ran, and finally became the biggest winner. Didn't Sanqing fail to see this at the time? You and I plotted Being able to hide it from Sanqing, and Sanqing's schemes to hide it from you and me, is also what it should be."
Zhunti laughed: "You are pure and open-minded."
"You and I are saints, there is no life and no death, neither increase nor decrease, neither scale nor perish..." Amitabha slowly closed his eyes: "No matter how many calculations, it will never hurt the root of the saint. The follow-up of meditation will be."
Volume 701 [-], when will the sword be revealed?
In the Xiji Imperial Palace, the wedding banquet has ended.
Tongjie Baozhu, a treasure room full of traps and endless restrictions, Dugu Ce stood in front of a jade table with his hands behind his back, staring at the four ancient swords lined up on the jade table.
The scabbard is black and the shape of the sword is simple, seemingly inconspicuous, without a trace of sword energy leaking out, but it is so powerful that even Da Luo Jinxian dare not face its sharpness, and the four swords of Zhuxian can't be resisted by non-sages!
Because the Four Swords of Jade Immortals are too important, Dugu Ce felt that even the Xiji Emperor's Palace was not safe, so he put them in the Tongjie Orb for collection.
Now, Dugu Ce is in trouble.
One is to embarrass Yuanshi Tianzun's intention of gifting the sword, and the other is how to deal with the four fairy swords.
"Hey, the saint is using me as a pawn! But I can't figure out the purpose of the saint's pawn..."
After winning the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, Dugu Ce was not in high spirits.
Because the feeling of being treated as a chess piece, but not even being able to comprehend the chess game, is really too bad.
"With my current strength and realm, let alone break the game, I don't even have the qualifications to watch chess..." Shaking his head, Dugu Ce sighed helplessly: "It would be great if I could return the Four Swords of Jade Immortals directly to the Tongtian Sage."
Unfortunately, this is not possible.The Master Tongtian is being locked up, and the Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island is located in the chaos. With Dugu Ce's current cultivation level, it is impossible to find the location of the Biyou Palace.If you want to return the sword, unless the Master Tongtian takes the initiative to find him.
However, it took a whole day to get the Four Swords.The Master Tongtian didn't send down an edict, so obviously he wouldn't take the initiative to summon him.
This made Dugu Ce very embarrassed.
While thinking silently, Huang Feifei and Liu Lier suddenly came together.
"Celang, why are you hesitating? Why don't you show off the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, call for righteous men, and raise your troops to revolt!" Huang Feifei beamed brightly, "With the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, all the immortals and gods in the heaven will respond together. What is the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother? You and I can use the four swords to kill Ling Xiao, cut down the Jade Emperor, and take his Miluo Palace!"
"..." Dugu Ce glanced at Huang Feifei helplessly. This girl was already ambitious, and she had urged Dugu Ce to rebel more than once, but was persuaded by Dugu Ce, and was taken by the terrifying power of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother Da Luo Jinxian. It just stopped.
But now, seeing that Dugu Ce had won the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, she became rebellious again, and came to tease her again.
"Feifei, it's not a good idea to rebel against the Jade Emperor." Liu Li'er was sober, and said calmly: "The Jade Emperor was supported by the two sages Yuanshi and Laozi, so he can always sit firmly in the position of emperor. Yuanshi sage Although I gave the four swords of Zhu Xian to my husband, I will never sit back and watch my husband rebel with the four swords. Once my husband uses the sword to attack Ling Xiao, the consequences may be unimaginable."
Huang Feifei smiled: "You guys are too cautious. It is true that the Jade Emperor was supported by the two sages Yuanshi and Laozi, but everyone knows what the Jade Emperor did a few years ago. It was very bad! There is no way to stop the Buddhism Expansion of power. Up to now, in the four major continents of the mortal world, I don’t know how many mortal countries, only the Tathagata Buddha is known, and there are no Sanqing sages.
