Chapter 208 Mosquito Taoist
When Tathagata came to his senses, he found himself in a huge temple glowing with golden light, with two blurry figures sitting on it.
He immediately knew where it was and hurriedly said respectfully, "Greetings, two saints."
"Hmm." A voice sounded, echoing in the dojo. Although it did not burst out with momentum,
But it also made Tathagata feel a chill in his heart and made him more cautious.
"Saint, a major change has occurred in Buddhism, and I don't know what to do." Tathagata said helplessly.
Jie Yin and Zhunti already knew why Tathagata came. Jie Yin's face was filled with sorrow, and Zhunti's eyes were filled with anger.
"Tathagata, Jin Chan is your disciple, why did he change like this?"
Tathagata quickly said, "Saint, I did not expect this to happen. Logically, the seal cannot be broken. It was my negligence."
Zhunti was about to scold him, but Jie Yin spoke up instead, "Tathagata, this is not your fault. It is normal for Buddhism to encounter disasters as it flourishes."
Zhunti looked at Jie Yin in surprise. What did that mean? Didn’t he intend to punish Tathagata?
This time, it was because of Tathagata's mistake that the fortune of Buddhism was greatly reduced.
Jie Yin shook his head at him, Zhunti frowned, and finally nodded slightly.
Tathagata heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Saint." Then he asked in embarrassment, "Saint, what should we do about the journey to obtain the scriptures?"
Jie Yin said calmly, "The way of heaven has changed, and the rise of Buddhism has been interrupted.
There is no need to go to the Tang Dynasty to obtain the scriptures. You can send someone to deliver the scriptures directly to the Tang Dynasty."
Tathagata was stunned, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. In this way, all the merits would be gone, what a pity.
"Yes, Saint, I understand."
"Also, that Jia Hu, you must kill him, this boy must not be left alive." Zhunti said in a cold voice.
Tathagata quickly asked, "Saint, I wonder if you can find out where Jia Hu is?"
Jie Yin shook his head and said, "No, I can't figure it out. This person must have a big secret."
Tathagata was very disappointed and nodded.
"Saint, I understand."
"Well, you go down." Jie Yin said lightly.
After saying this, Tathagata disappeared.
"Brother, why don't you punish Tathagata? He made a big mistake this time." Zhunti said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
"Alas, Junior Brother, apart from this matter, Tathagata has done a good job in Buddhism.
If I punish him, what if he betrays me?" Jie Yin shook his head.
"Humph, he dares." Zhunti glared and said angrily.
Jie Yin said calmly, "Brother, Brother Tongtian is still here, and the Zhuxian Formation Map is with Tathagata."
Zhunti's eyes flickered, and he said nothing more. Finally,
"Humph, if we were not unable to enter the prehistoric world, who would dare to betray Buddhism?"
Jie Yin stopped talking and closed his eyes. "Brother, don't worry about it. Many people don't want our Buddhism to flourish. It's normal to have accidents."
Zhunti glanced at Jie Yin, then shook his head helplessly and closed his eyes.
Tathagata appeared again in the chaos, with a complex look in his eyes.
This trip was not in vain. He was relieved that he didn't have to travel to the West. Without Guanyin and the others, he couldn't find a suitable person to take over.
The three realms were peaceful, but one place was caught in a great war. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva led countless Arhats and Bodhisattvas to attack the sea of blood.
Minghe and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva were facing each other, Minghe was angry and said, "Humph, Ksitigarbha, do you think you can kill me?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Amitabha, donor Minghe, I don't have that much magic power. I just want to restrict you from making a move."
Minghe was a little furious. Seeing the Asuras below being slaughtered by the Buddhists, his eyes turned bloodshot.
"Bald donkey, you are going too far, die now." He took action.
Yuan Tu and Abi shot two swords at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
The twelve-level karmic fire lotus appeared at the foot of the Styx and pounced towards Ksitigarbha.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's face changed and he had no choice but to go forward to meet the enemy. A fierce battle immediately broke out between the two.
The entire sea of blood began to stir, and all the powerful eyes turned towards this place.
The result was what they had anticipated. Asura might be wiped out, but Styx would definitely be fine.
Sure enough, not long after, the Styx and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva separated.
The old man of the Styx stood on the sea of blood with disheveled hair, and it seemed that he was the only one left in the entire sea of blood.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was also in a very miserable state. His breath was much weaker and his face was pale. He sat down on the lotus platform and looked at the Patriarch of the Styx.
"Okay, okay, you Buddhists are cruel enough to kill us all. You just wait for me." Minghe's eyes were red.
A strong murderous intent swept across the Buddhists, sending a chill down their spines and causing them to take a step back.
The figure of the Styx fell towards the sea of blood and disappeared. The entire sea of blood became extremely calm, just like the Dead Sea.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's pupils shrank slightly. He looked at the disappearing Styx and shook his head slightly. He didn't know whether it was good or bad to offend the Styx like this.
"Okay, let's go." Ksitigarbha said lightly, and disappeared with all the Buddhists.
Now that it has been done, there is no point in regretting it.
The entire sea of blood was silent, as if nothing had happened. Only the murderous aura that still lingered in the air proved that a great battle had just taken place here.
Deep in the sea of blood, Minghe sat on the twelfth-grade fire lotus platform with a gloomy face.
"It seems that the Buddhist sect has really been pissed off." Then he sneered
"So what? Your Buddhist fortune has greatly declined. I wonder how long you, Ksitigarbha, can stay in the underworld." He hated Ksitigarbha to the core.
Because Hou Tu was asleep at the time, Minghe was able to completely control the underworld. With the endless merits of the underworld, he might be able to become a saint.
Unfortunately, Ksitigarbha suddenly appeared, occupied the Yinshan Mountain in the underworld, and blocked the Styx.
Because of this delay, the Heaven was destroyed, and finally the Underworld was divided up. He, the ancestor of the Styx, could only occupy the sea of blood. This was a grudge that blocked his path, how could he not be angry.
This is also the reason why he is willing to kill Buddhists. Even though he knows that it will bring the wrath of Buddhism, he is not afraid.
"Hehehe, Minghe, you suffered heavy losses this time." A sinister voice sounded.
Minghe raised his eyes to the void and said coldly
"Master Mosquito, why are you gloating over other people's misfortunes? Do you think Buddhism will let you go?"
"Uh" Taoist Mosquito was stunned. He had eaten the third-grade golden lotus and offended the two saints of the West. The consequences were much more serious than the River Styx.
"Hmph, I say we should unite and deal with Buddhism together, what do you think?" Taoist Mosquito suddenly said.
Minghe smiled coldly, "Do you dare to show your head?"
Taoist Mosquito was startled at first, then he said loudly, "The saint dare not appear in the prehistoric world, what should I be afraid of?"
Minghe looked at the void in surprise. When did Taoist Mosquito become so bold? Suddenly he thought of something.
"You didn't want to take action because you saw that the luck of Buddhism has greatly decreased, did you?"
"Buzz" A man in black robe appeared not far from the Styx. He looked at the Styx and said with a smile:
"That's right. Anyway, I have offended the Buddhist sect. Of course, I can't just watch them become more and more powerful. Otherwise, there will be no way for me to survive."
Minghe nodded slightly. Indeed, if Buddhism became stronger and had more time, they would definitely deal with Taoist Mosquito. This guy was not stupid.
"I know you have connection with that Jia Hu, count me in as one." Taoist Mosquito said with a burning gaze.
Minghe was not at all surprised that Taoist Mosquito knew Jia Hu, because he had used the sea of blood to contact Jia Hu, and Taoist Mosquito must have known it as well.
"Okay, I'll talk to him then." Minghe nodded. Having one more person is not a bad thing.
"Do you know where he is now?" Taoist Mosquito asked hurriedly.
Minghe immediately became alert, "Are you going to find him?"
Taoist Mosquito smiled and said, "That's right, sincerity comes only when we meet in person."
Minghe narrowed his eyes and looked at Taoist Mosquito. "Why do I feel that you have bad intentions?"
Taoist Mosquito's eyes flickered, and he quickly said, "Nonsense, I'm serious, and you know that I have a feud with Buddhism."
Minghe felt that Taoist Mosquito was not that simple, and said calmly, "To be honest, I don't know. You also know that the boy is quite wary of me."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Taoist Mosquito's eyes, but he then covered it up and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, when you know it, it won't be too late to tell me."
Minghe looked at Taoist Mosquito deeply and nodded, "Okay."
Taoist Mosquito disappeared and appeared somewhere in the sea of blood, with greed in his eyes.
"That person has a big secret, and it's hard to figure it out. He must be carrying a treasure.
And that colorful aura is so mysterious. If I absorb all of it, then would I still be afraid of Tathagata?" He muttered to himself and fell silent.
He was not in a hurry, waiting for news from the Styx. He believed that the Styx would not reject a quasi-saint to join.
That’s right, he has absorbed the third-grade golden lotus over the years and entered the quasi-saint realm, otherwise how could he dare to stay in the sea of blood.
In the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor frowned as he watched the bloody battle. Suddenly, he looked at Taibai Jinxing.
"Taibai, have you found out where Jia Hu is?"
Taibai Jinxing quickly said, "Your Majesty, not yet. Clairvoyance and Wind-ear have checked the lower world several times, and it seems that they have disappeared."
The Jade Emperor nodded slightly, without blaming anyone, and murmured:
"Jia Hu is quite powerful. With Sun Wukong and the others, it would be great if they could join the Heavenly Court."
Taibai Jinxing's eyes flashed, "Your Majesty, isn't General Juanlian following Jia Hu? Is that possible?"
The Jade Emperor frowned and sighed helplessly.
"Alas, you don't know that I only used Juanlian as a chess piece to fight for the fortune of the Heavenly Court.
I guess Juanlian has already felt resentful, otherwise he wouldn't have not contacted me."
Taibai Jinxing was silent for a moment. He knew about this matter and had advised against it before.
The Jade Emperor did not take it to heart and did not think that Monk Sha could do anything. Who knew something unexpected would happen?
"I have observed that Juanlian has the strength of Taiyi Golden Immortal. Alas." The Jade Emperor felt a little regretful. Taiyi Golden Immortal was also a very powerful fighter.
Taibai Jinxing hesitated for a moment and said
"Your Majesty, once we find them, I will go and give it a try."
The Jade Emperor nodded, "Yeah, that's fine."
After the bloody battle, the three realms fell into peace. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed.
Jia Hu and the others seemed to have been forgotten, and not many people mentioned them anymore.
On this day, a ray of light descended from the sky and shot towards Huaguo Mountain.
The child, with wind-fire wheels under his feet, a flaming spear in his hand and a Hun Tian Ling on his body, landed on the Flower-Fruit Mountain.
As soon as he landed, he cried out in surprise.
"Hey, this breath." He looked around, with a look of doubt in his eyes.
He would come to Huaguo Mountain every once in a while. It was Yang Jian's request.
He said that he had promised Sun Wukong that he would help him keep an eye on the safety of his monkeys and grandchildren.
