Volume 1: Journey to the West Chapter 55: Taiyi Saves the Suffering, the Great Celestial Lord of All Directions

Duobao Taoist brought 66 Dharma-protecting Ming Wangs to the Lion Camel Ridge and stood on the clouds. The 66 Ming Wangs shouted loudly: "Dapeng Ming Wang, why don't you return to your position?" There is a city of evil ghosts in the Lion Camel Ridge. A golden-winged Dapeng eagle flew out of the city and suddenly came into the air. It turned into a sinister man with an eagle nose and bowed: "Master, fellow disciples!"

Duobao Taoist said: "You are Kong Xuan's brother. You don't have to call me master. You can call me Taoist friend." He ordered the golden-winged Dapeng eagle to be the leader of the 67 Ming Wangs and go to the heaven together. When they arrived at the 33rd Heaven Lihen Realm, Duobao Taoist ordered everyone to wait outside the Lingxiao Palace and entered the palace himself. The gods of Jiejiao hurriedly knelt down, some called him uncle, some called him senior brother, and cried: "Twelve disciples of my sect were killed. This hatred must be avenged!"

Duobao Taoist also shed tears and looked at the gods and immortals of the Chanjiao with hatred. The Five Emperors and Six Imperial Guardians of the Chan Sect were all shocked. This Duobao Taoist was the leader of the immortals in Shangqing Heaven and the only one who dared to attack the saint. Although there were many masters on their side, only a few could block his attack.

The Great Emperor of Qinghua in the East, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, opened his eyes and sighed, "Disaster, disaster!" The Fengdu Mountain in the lower world suddenly cracked, revealing the bottomless abyss, the Eighteen Hells, and the Nine Netherworlds. Ten Yama Tianzuns walked out of the underworld. Which ten Yama Tianzuns?

The Eastern Jade Treasure Emperor transformed into the first hall of the underworld, Taisu Miaoguang Zhenjun, King Bingguang, whose spirit resides in Xuanming Palace;

The Southern Xuanzhen Wanfu Tianzun transformed into the second hall of the underworld, Yinde Dingxiu Zhenjun, King Chujiang, whose spirit resides in Ximing Palace;

The Western Taimiao Zhiji Tianzun transformed into the third hall of the underworld, Dongming Xijing Zhenjun, King Songdi, whose spirit resides in Jiuji Palace;

The Northern Xuanshang Yuchen Tianzun transformed into the fourth hall of the underworld, Xuande Wuling Zhenjun, King Wuguan, whose spirit resides in Taihe Palace;

The Northeastern Duxian Shangsheng Tianzun transformed into the fifth hall of the underworld, Zuisheng Yaoling Zhenjun, King Yanluo, whose spirit resides in Jiulun Palace;

The Eastern In the south, the Heavenly Lord of Good Life and Deliverance transformed into the Sixth Palace of the Underworld, the True Lord of Su Zhaocheng, the Great King of Biancheng, whose spirit resides in the Mingchen Palace;

In the southwest, the Heavenly Lord of Great Spirit and Void transformed into the Seventh Palace of the Underworld, the True Lord of Dengguan Mingli, the Great King of Taishan, whose spirit resides in the Shenhua Palace;

In the northwest, the Heavenly Lord of Infinite Taihua transformed into the Eighth Palace of the Underworld, the True Lord of Feimo Yanqing, the Great King of Metropolis, whose spirit resides in the Bizhen Palace;

In the upper part, the Heavenly Lord of Jade Void and Brightness transformed into the Nineth Palace of the Underworld, the True Lord of Supreme Righteousness, the Great King of Equalization, whose spirit resides in the Qifei Palace;

In the lower part, the Heavenly Lord of True Emperor and Cave transformed into the Tenth Palace of the Underworld, the True Lord of Five Hua Weiling, the Great King of Lunzhuan, whose spirit resides in the Suying Palace.

These ten Heavenly Lords of Yama are the ten great avatars of Taiyi Zhenren, guarding the Senluo Palace and judging the ghosts of the six paths, each with great magical powers. At this moment, seeing that the Jiejiao was powerful, the Zhenren had to take back his ten avatars. But the Yama Kings of the Ten Palaces flew into the Heavenly Palace, and walked towards Taiyi Zhenren one by one, like phantoms, and sank into the body of the Zhenren.

Taiyi Zhenren took back his ten clones, and felt that he was still no match for Duobao. He said to the immortals of the Chan Sect: "It's a pity that Senior Brother Yunzhongzi has not arrived."

Guangchengzi and others looked solemn and said it was a pity. Yunzhongzi was blessed by nature and was the person with the deepest blessings in Yuqingtian. Only he could defeat Taoist Duobao.

The confrontation between Jiejiao and Chanjiao in the Heavenly Palace this time can be regarded as the largest in three thousand years, even larger than the battle of the Ten Thousand Immortals during the Conferred God Period. Auspicious clouds were seen lingering above the Lihen Realm of the Thirty-three Heavens, all formed by the divine spirits and immortals above the heads of the gods and immortals. Those who practiced Taoism were fine, but there were many alien cultivators under the Jiejiao sect, and their mists were mostly various immortal treasures and exotic beasts, which were strange and unpredictable.

But the auspicious clouds were hanging, one layer on top of another, one layer on top of another, and it was like a palace made of clouds on the Thirty-three Heavens, which was magnificent. The Buddhas of Lingshan Mountain in the west had already noticed the changes in the Heavenly Palace. When they saw the auspicious clouds covering the sky, they couldn't help but change color and said, "The Heavenly Palace is so powerful!"

The ancient Buddha Rāhula smiled at the Tathagata Buddha and said, "Now the Jiejiao and Chanjiao are about to go to war again. My Buddha is merciful. In order to avoid the suffering of all living beings, please go and convert a few people to my Buddhist sect."

The Tathagata Buddha smiled and said, "That's exactly what I mean. As soon as the war starts, the Buddhas will follow me to the Heavenly Palace to guide those who are destined to convert." The Buddhas praised the Buddha's mercy in unison. At this time, a long rainbow of fire flew over, stopped over Lingshan Mountain, and turned into a red sun. In the red sun, a three-legged golden crow shouted, "No!"

The three-legged golden crow turned into a Buddha, with a red robe like fire. He walked down the sky and stepped into the middle of the Buddhas. He said to the Tathagata Buddha, "Don't go to the Heavenly Palace. If you go, my Lingshan will be in danger!"

The visitors were Zen Master Wuchao and Mahavairocana Buddha. This Mahavairocana Buddha is equal to Sakyamuni's master, Tathagata Buddha, and they are both the masters of the Vajra world, but they don't come to Lingshan often. The Buddhas did not dare to neglect him and asked hurriedly: "Why did my master say this?"

The Zen Master Wuchao stepped onto the throne of the great treasure lotus, and the Buddha Tathagata gave him half of the seat. The Zen Master looked solemn and set up many restrictions on Lingshan. Then he said: "Do you know which twelve gods died in the heaven?"

The Buddhas only knew that twelve gods died, but they didn't know who died, so they hurriedly asked for advice. The Zen master said: "These twelve gods are disciples of Duobao Tathagata Buddha. They died in the battle of the Ten Thousand Immortals during the Conferred Gods Battle and were named the Twelve Yuanchen: Xingji, Xuanxiao, Zhuozi, Jianglou, Daliang, Shishen, Queshou, Quehuo, Quewei, Shouxing, Dahuo, Ximu.

At that time, the gods of Jiejiao were not obedient, but the Twelve Yuanchen were loyal and filial. When they heard that Laozi had transformed into a Buddha, they knelt outside the Hangu Pass, just to ask for an audience with their teacher. The Supreme Taoist Ancestor saw their loyalty and said to them: If you have made contributions to the country, there will be a day when the master and disciple will meet in the future. He promised that they could meet Duobao Tathagata Buddha in the future.

On the twelfth day of the Yuan Dynasty, he asked the Jade Emperor for orders and got an errand. He turned into the twelve zodiac gods, guarding the four major continents and blessing hundreds of millions of people. For thousands of years, the reputation of the Twelve Yuan Chen has been growing. Ordinary people may not worship gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but they must worship the twelve zodiac gods every year. Twelve Yuanchen did this just to see his teacher again. The Jiejiao gods also felt his loyalty and respected him greatly. "

Only then did all the Buddhas understand why the gods of the Jiejiao were so angry and did not hesitate to wash hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers with blood. The ancient Buddha of Ran Deng smiled and said: "Why did the Zen Master just make such shocking remarks, saying that the destruction of my Lingshan Mountain is imminent?"

"Do you know who killed these twelve Yuan Chen?"

When Zen Master Wuchao saw the Buddhas shaking their heads, he sighed and slowly recounted what he had seen and heard in the Netherworld Sea of ​​Blood that day. The Buddhas were so frightened that their faces were as pale as dirt.

"If Sanqing finds out that this is the result of the general situation, our Lingshan Mountain will definitely be in danger!"

Detaining Sun Gufo also said: "If it is indeed done by the Great Power, it will definitely harm the ancestors of Tongtian Sect and Taishang Taoist Patriarch, and even Yuanshi Tianzun will have trouble with us. Now it is best to immediately drive the Great Power out of Lingshan and regain the position of Bodhisattva , have nothing to do with us!”

Ran Deng also said: "It is better to close the mountain gate tightly and try not to let the disciples go out, so as not to be poisoned by the Jie Jiao!"

Tathagata Buddha thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Close the mountain gate tightly, but it will show that I, Lingshan, have a guilty conscience. The mountain gate is still open, and those who are destined to come will also come. Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva will also deal with what he said when he detained Sun Buddha, and ordered the world to put aside relations with him." "All the Buddhas praised the good deeds and ordered the two venerable Ananda and Kassapa to come down the mountain and make a public announcement to remove the title of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva and kick him out of Buddhism.

Above the Lingxiao Palace, Taoist Duobao looked gloomy. Although he was hating in his heart, he was unwilling to take action immediately. He said to the gods of Jie Jiao: "Fellow disciples, this matter is of great importance, and it may not be the fault of Chan Jiao. Let's go back to the mountain gate first. Say hello to the master and obey his orders."

The gods of the Jie Cult agreed to their promise, walked together, and swarmed away. Who in heaven would dare to stop them? Duobao flew out of the heaven with his fellow disciples and said to the pink-clothed woman holding the piglet in her arms: "I already know your origin. Junior brother, please do not get involved in this matter, lest you be hated by the Yuqing sect. Junior brother, leave Jiuzhou immediately. Barrier, go to the outside world to escape, I'm afraid there will be a great chaos in the world! "

After hearing this, the woman in pink clothes hugged the little pig and left.

Thirty-three days away, in the Shangqingtian Biyou Palace, the ancestor of the Tongtian Sect stood in front of the palace, with only Kong Xuan standing behind him, his face gloomy and terrifying. The saint met with the gods of Jiejiao and ordered them all to enter Biyou Palace, and no one could go out. The gods felt aggrieved, and Duobao cried out: "Master, even in the Battle of the Gods, my disciples were not killed to death, but their bodies were damaged. I didn't expect that twelve third-generation disciples were killed this time." Disciple, how can I bear this hatred and annihilation?"
