One Thousand Six Hundred and Forty-Eight. The Disciple's Disciple, the Master's Master
Although during the fight for the Zhuxian Formation, the Taoist Sect finally succeeded in the battle and reversed the crisis after the Great Destruction.
But both Yan Zhaoge and Yang Jian and others knew that it was far from the time to relax.
It can only be said that we are back on the same starting line as other opponents and are no longer as far behind as before.
But in the end, who can reach the finish line first is still deeply suspenseful.
If there is a slight mistake, all previous efforts may be in vain.
Today's more relaxed environment is far from the time when weapons are stored in the warehouse and horses are released to Nanshan. Instead, we must use this rare opportunity to accumulate as much strength as possible for our own side to face the next competition, which is more fierce. compete.
"Everyone can go back first." Yan Zhaoge said to Ying Long Tu, Long Xingquan and Taiyi Zhenren.
Long Xingquan nodded: "Zhao Ge, you can just do what you want. I will inform other colleagues as soon as possible about the slightly abnormal situation in the Western Pure Land. Someone will support you then."
"My disciple's situation is worrying, and he cannot relax. Pindao cannot escape for the time being." Master Taiyi also said: "My master and disciple have been in trouble for many years, and their understanding of the current situation is limited. It is not easy to intervene without authorization. This time, we have to Don’t be lazy, little friend Yan is here.”
"Master, you're too polite." After Yan Zhaoge said goodbye to everyone, he fled into the void on his own, while Ying Longtu, Long Xingquan and the others returned to the Taoist territory of Zhuluo Emperor Jitian, Chiming and Yangtian.
Yan Zhaoge parted ways with the others and walked alone in the void, thinking as he walked.
Of course, it is impossible for him to walk straight to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the West and ask the Buddhas: "What are you busy with these days?"
Not to mention whether others will tell him, if he dares to go, the Buddhist bigwigs such as the Ancient Buddha on the Lantern will definitely be happy to keep him in the Western Pure Land forever.
So far, there has been no news of any conspiracy among the Buddhist sect, and the other party has kept the news very tightly.
If Yan Zhaoge wants to find out, he needs to think hard.
However, there are not all clues.
Visually, a lot of people were involved in the Western Pure Land. It would be difficult for such a large-scale operation to leave no trace at all.
If you didn't notice any clues before, it might not be easy to pay attention to them. Now that you have discovered the problem and are determined to look for it, things that you didn't notice before may not be ordinary now.
Yan Zhaoge first contacted Wudang Madonna.
After recovering from her injuries and opening up Chiming and Yangtian, Our Lady of Wudang took over from Fairy Yunxiao to take charge of the Immortal Killing Formation. She stayed with the void all year round and was not visible to the world.
To a certain extent, she has also been monitoring the movements of other forces.
Because of the existence of the Immortal Killing Formation, this is an advantage that other Da Luo level powerhouses do not have.
Of course, it was she and the Zhuxian Formation who were the most concerned members of the other Taoist sects.
After all, they are not face to face, staring at others face to face. It is difficult to draw direct conclusions from the Wudang Virgin, but Yan Zhaoge can get a lot of first-hand scattered information from her, which is already very valuable.
Yan Zhaoge walked all the way, approaching the Yuyu where the Immortal Court and the White Lotus Pure Land were at war.
He did not continue to get closer. The fight between life and death there had little to do with him.
Yan Zhaoge just waited patiently nearby.
The threat of the Immortal Killing Formation to each family is the same, but the two outsiders cannot afford the consequences, so the threat of the Immortal Killing Formation to them is always the most intuitive.
The Taoist sect naturally wants to increase this intimidation to the point where it is like a sword hanging above its head, pointing at the Immortal Court and the White Lotus Pure Land.
After a long time, the void suddenly shook slightly, revealing clear sword lights, forming a world that enveloped Yan Zhaoge.
In this world, Yan Zhaoge heard the voice of the Holy Mother Wudang: "What's the matter with Zhao Ge that you're here all the time?"
"I am happy and worried, so I came here to consult with the Holy Mother." Yan Zhaoge replied.
"Where does joy come from and where does sorrow come from?" asked Our Lady of Wudang.
Yan Zhaoge first told the happy news: "My two seniors Yuqing, Taiyi Zhenren and Santan Haihui Great God have returned, but the situation of Santan Haihui Great God is still a bit inconvenient at the moment."
Although he didn't deal with Yuqing's disciples in the ancient era,
But in the current era, Mother Wudang did not pay too much attention to it and agreed with Yan Zhaoge's statement: "Yes, it is indeed gratifying and congratulatory."
"But apart from that, there is another thing." Yan Zhaoge expressed his doubts about the Pure Land of Western Bliss: "I wonder if the Holy Mother has discovered any unusual trends regarding the authentic Buddhism recently?"
Our Lady of Wudang did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment before saying, "Maybe there is something worth paying attention to."
"Shangna and Xiu entered and exited the Western Pure Land twice, and the time between each other was very short." She said slowly: "I heard that you mentioned that the Western Pure Land may have a plan. Now that I think about it, maybe this matter is unusual."
Yan Zhaoge raised his head slightly: "Shang Na and Xiu Zun?"
Venerable Shangna and Xiu was one of the five hundred Arhats in the Central Saha Pure Land in the Middle Ages in the past. He had superb Buddhist teachings and extraordinary strength.
But in terms of cultivation and strength, it is not enough for Wudang Holy Mother to pay such attention to her.
The reason why it is specifically mentioned now is obviously for something else.
Yan Zhaoge naturally thought of another label on Shang Na and Xiu Zun.
Ananda's direct disciple.
In the Middle Ages, Buddha Sakyamuni Tathagata established the Central Saha Pure Land. Among his disciples, two were extremely famous.
Kasyapa, Ananda.
The song of Yan Zhao was composed by Venerable Shangna and Venerable Xiu, and naturally it was associated with Venerable Ananda.
He believed that the Immortal Mother had the same idea.
Both the Venerable Kasyapa and the Venerable Ananda died in the great change of the Central Saha Pure Land caused by the Venerable Maitreya Buddha at the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Modern Ages.
But just as Yan Zhaoge could easily associate Venerable Ananda with Venerable Shangnahexiu, it was also easy to associate Venerable Ananda with the former Lingshan Tathagata Buddha.
"Did the Buddha Sakyamuni, or the Taoist Zhunti, leave anything behind?" Yan Zhaoge frowned: "I haven't heard of it, except..."
He paused for a moment.
Unlike the Three Pure Ones who left behind the Six Soul Banner, the Qingping Sword, and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, the equally transcendent Taoist Zhunti did not seem to leave any treasures.
Not only did he not leave any treasures after he became the Lingshan Tathagata Buddha and transcended, but he also heard of no treasures that were famous all over the world in the ancient era.
If there were things like the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree or the Six Pure Bamboos, Yan Zhaoge believed that the Ancient Buddha Randeng and Avalokitesvara would definitely not miss them, so why would they wait until today to look for them after so many years?
If there must be an exception, it would only be the Sakyamuni relics that attracted the Peacock King...
Yan Zhaoge paused, and the voice of the Holy Mother Wu Dang sounded again: "It seems that you have also thought of it. This is the most likely thing after our consideration."
