Chapter 113: Rise of the West, Saint Court Besieged
After leaving Mount Huaguo, Pan Huang and the others went to the place where Zhaoge was back then. After the Human Race Saint Court was established, this place became a wasteland, but after so many years of construction, it had already recovered to its previous prosperity, and even more prosperous than before.
"Didn't expect the new dynasty to still be called Zhou, but this Zhou is not the Zhou of Ji Fa." Looking at the surrounding people, Pan Huang said in his heart.
"Husband, why don't we live here for a period of time?" Xihe held Pan Huang's arm and acted like a spoiled child.
"Okay, then we will live here for a period of time." Pan Huang thought about it. The rise of the West still had a certain amount of time. During this period, he didn't need to do anything, so living in the human world for a period of time was also good.
Time passed in a flash, and twenty years passed.
"Husband, let's go. I don't like the current human world." Xihe said to Pan Huang.
"Yes, the current human world doesn't have the feeling of the past at all. The current human world is full of deception and hypocrisy, and I don't like it either." Changxi also said at this time.
"Then let's go back." Pan Huang nodded.
Just after returning to Mount Shouyang, Pan Huang received news from the Great Golden Crow, followed by news from Pingxin Niangniang, news from Di Xin, and finally news from the Red-Buttock Horse Monkey.
The Great Golden Crow's news was that Tathagata found him, and their West had already begun to layout. He hoped that the Demon Race could provide some support, preferably some powerful Demon Race. These Demon Race would not die in vain, and their death could bring very rich merit to the Demon Race, and so on.
"Use the little Golden Crow's matter to rebuke them, first get some benefits from them, and then agree to them. As for whether to go or not, that's what we say. Anyway, it's just a verbal agreement." Pan Huang replied.
"Okay!" The Great Golden Crow replied.
The news from Pingxin Niangniang was that she hoped that the Underworld would let go of water when the time came, so that the protectors of their Buddhism could make a name for themselves in the Underworld. In this way, after the rise of the West, the Underworld could also get a lot of merit.
"How did Niangniang reply to Tathagata?" Pan Huang was very curious about Pingxin Niangniang's choice.
"I just said one sentence: let him come." Pingxin Niangniang said with a smile.
"How did Tathagata reply?" Pan Huang asked curiously.
"He didn't reply, just nodded."
"Okay, then it seems there will be a good show to watch." Pan Huang said with a smile.
After ending the contact with Pingxin Niangniang, Pan Huang contacted Di Xin again. Di Xin said that Tathagata also found him, hoping that he could cooperate with the West to perform a play.
"Great Havoc in Heaven?" After Pan Huang heard Di Xin say this, he blurted out these four words.
"Yes, Tathagata's meaning is that although the Saint Court will suffer a little loss in the early stage, after the rise of the West, our Saint Court can also get a lot of merit." Di Xin said.
"Did you reply to Tathagata?" Pan Huang asked.
"Not yet."
"You tell him that you agreed, and as for what the situation will be at that time, we will talk about it then." Pan Huang said with a smile.
"Yes!"
After ending the contact with Di Xin, Pan Huang contacted the Red-Buttock Horse Monkey again.
"What is the situation on your side now?"
"Tathagata sent someone to Mount Huaguo and stayed in front of the Nine-Aperture Stone for a long time." The Red-Buttock Horse Monkey said.
"Did they do anything?" Pan Huang asked.
"Yes, but they couldn't break the barrier you set up, Ancestral Witch Lord, and finally they left."
"Good, pay close attention to everyone who comes to Mount Huaguo. Once there is any abnormality, tell me." Pan Huang said to the Red-Buttock Horse Monkey.
"It seems that the previous arrangements should not be used. After all, it is impossible for me to hand over Sun Wukong to that so-called Bodhi Patriarch. Even if I want to hand it over, this Bodhi Patriarch can only be me." Pan Huang looked at the roof of the Saint Huang Hall and muttered to himself.
"After the journey to the west, there is basically nothing big in the Primordial World. At that time, I can go to Chaos to take a look." Pan Huang muttered to himself again.
Time passed in a flash, and a hundred years passed.
Tathagata looked at the golden cicada wrapped in golden light in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face. This golden cicada was a disciple Tathagata had long decided on. Now that this golden cicada was preparing to transform, Tathagata naturally had to protect the Dharma in front of him.
At a certain period of time, the golden light on the golden cicada shone brightly, and strong heartbeats came from the golden light.
When Tathagata heard this heartbeat, the smile on his face converged a little, because the transformation thunder calamity was coming. If it relied on the golden cicada alone, this transformation calamity would definitely not be passed.
Just when Tathagata thought so, a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky. This was the transformation thunder calamity.
"Little guy, let this poor monk see where your limit is." Tathagata looked at the golden cicada and said with a smile.
Boom—
As Tathagata's words fell, a lightning bolt struck down. After this lightning bolt struck down, the golden light wrapped on the golden cicada dimmed a lot instantly, but this golden light did not shatter. It looked like it could withstand two to three more thunder calamities.
Not long after the first lightning bolt fell, the second lightning bolt fell. When the second lightning bolt fell, the golden light wrapped on the golden cicada dimmed again.
After the second lightning bolt fell, it didn't give the golden cicada any hesitation at all. The third and fourth calamity thunders followed closely and fell.
After these four calamity thunders, the golden light wrapped around the golden cicada shattered instantly. Seeing this, Tathagata waved his hand, and a golden light was put on the golden cicada.
Just as the golden light was put on the golden cicada, the fifth and sixth calamity thunders fell.
With Tathagata's golden light protecting the body, these lightning bolts were blocked. Finally, the golden cicada passed the transformation thunder calamity without any danger.
"Thank you, Buddha!" After the golden cicada transformed, he bowed to Tathagata and said.
Seeing the golden cicada in front of him, Tathagata nodded with satisfaction. The golden cicada in front of him had red lips and white teeth, and a big bald head, which looked like he had a sense of Buddha nature.
"This poor monk wants to take you as a disciple, I don't know if you are willing?" Tathagata looked at the golden cicada and asked.
"Disciple is willing, pays respects to Master." The golden cicada didn't hesitate at all and knelt down.
"Since I have taken you as a disciple, then Master will give you a dharma name. You are a golden cicada transformation, why not call you Golden Cicada? So that you know that you still have a Senior Brother above you, named Jinnara."
"Yes, Master!" Golden Cicada bowed and said.
"Follow Master back to the Great Thunder Sound Temple." Tathagata said to Golden Cicada.
"Golden Cicada was born? It seems that the planning about Golden Cicada can also be put on the agenda. Tathagata, oh Tathagata, it's not that I have to calculate against you, but these two disciples of yours have too many places to calculate. If I don't calculate, I always feel that something is not perfect." Pan Huang said with a smile.
Golden Cicada had been an apprentice to Tathagata for more than two hundred years. Golden Cicada's comprehension was excellent. Any problem was understood at a point, and he could even draw inferences from one instance, which was even more eye-catching than Senior Brother Jinnara. Fortunately, Jinnara had no intention of competing.
This day, Tathagata was preaching, and the Golden Cicada below suddenly became restless. He looked left and right, absent-minded. Tathagata discovered Golden Cicada's abnormality instantly.
He originally wanted to rebuke Golden Cicada, but he stopped when the words reached his lips. Afterward, Tathagata pinched his fingers and calculated, and a smile appeared on his face. My Western road to rise is here.
Tathagata looked at the Golden Cicada who was still looking left and right below, and a smile appeared on his face. But this smile was soon converged by Tathagata, and his face was replaced by a look of anger.
"Golden Cicada, what are you doing?" Tathagata looked at Golden Cicada and scolded.
"Master, I have doubts about the Buddhist Dharma you just preached." Golden Cicada looked at Tathagata and said.
Hearing Golden Cicada's words, the corners of Tathagata's mouth twitched. This Golden Cicada really dared to say it.
"You tell me and see!" Tathagata signaled to Golden Cicada.
Golden Cicada said his understanding. After hearing it, Tathagata nodded repeatedly in his heart. Golden Cicada's understanding was indeed better than Tathagata's, but he couldn't show it.
"Absurd!" Tathagata shouted angrily.
"Master, disciple still insists on his own point of view." Golden Cicada also did not give in.
"Hmph! Rebellious, since that's the case, this poor monk will let you wake up well." Tathagata let out a cold snort.
The next second, a big hand covered Golden Cicada's head. In just an instant, Golden Cicada lost his breath.
"Let you go through this reincarnation, and you will know how ridiculous your understanding is." Looking at Golden Cicada's puzzled primordial spirit, Tathagata said coldly.
After speaking, Tathagata waved his big hand and threw Golden Cicada's primordial spirit directly into the Underworld. When Golden Cicada's primordial spirit was thrown into the Underworld, Tathagata pointed at Golden Cicada's primordial spirit again. This was a hint, hinting that Golden Cicada should go to learn scriptures and go to preach the Buddhist Dharma of the West.
In the Underworld, when Golden Cicada's primordial spirit full of Buddha light appeared here, Pingxin Niangniang discovered him for the first time.
"Thirteenth Brother's words actually really came true. Since that's the case, then don't blame me for doing something." Pingxin Niangniang said with a smile.
After speaking, she also pointed at Golden Cicada's primordial spirit, and then threw Golden Cicada into reincarnation.
After doing all this, a smile appeared on Pingxin Niangniang's face.
Soon, Pan Huang knew the news. When he knew that Golden Cicada had started reincarnation, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
"Golden Cicada still needs a lot of time to reincarnate nine times. Taking advantage of this time, let's arrange Jinnara too." Pan Huang rubbed his chin.
Just do it. Pan Huang immediately searched in Xiniu Hezhou to see where it had not been affected by Buddhism. Soon, Pan Huang found that some places in the south of Xiniu Hezhou had not been radiated by Buddhism. Seeing this, a smile appeared on Pan Huang's face.
The next second, Pan Huang reached out and moved the secret, and then gave a mental hint to the people in the south of Xiniu Hezhou. After doing all this, Pan Huang lay on the futon and looked at the water mirror in front of him.
"Husband, what are you looking at?" At this time, Changxi and Xihe brought the fruit plate and walked in from outside.
"Come, come, there is a good show, a very wonderful good show." Pan Huang beckoned to the two sisters.
"There is nothing in here?" Seeing the chaos in the water mirror, Xihe asked with some confusion.
"Don't worry, it will be there soon." Pan Huang said with a smile.
Just after Pan Huang's words fell, the scene of the Great Thunder Sound Temple appeared in the water mirror.
"Jinnara, now we have achieved good results in preaching in Xiniu Hezhou, but in the south of Xiniu Hezhou, we have not yet bathed in the light of my Buddha. Are you willing to go to the south of Xiniu Hezhou to preach? Spread the light of my Buddha to the south of Xiniu Hezhou?" Tathagata looked at Jinnara and asked.
"Disciple is willing to go, disciple will definitely spread the light of my Buddha to the south of Xiniu Hezhou." Jinnara looked solemn.
"Go, Master will wait for you to come back." Tathagata looked at Jinnara and said with a smile.
"Yes, disciple takes his leave." Jinnara bowed to Tathagata, and then left the Great Thunder Sound Temple.
"Husband, is this the good show you said?" Xihe was even more confused.
"This is just the cause, keep watching, keep watching, it will definitely not disappoint you next." Pan Huang hugged Xihe and Changxi and said.
The scene in the water mirror became chaotic again after Jinnara withdrew from the Great Thunder Sound Temple. This was specifically set by Pan Huang. Who knows what Jinnara will do at that time, so it is safer to do so.
Not long after, the water mirror lit up again. At this time, Jinnara was wearing a moon-white monk robe, matched with that gentle smile, no one could help but want to get close to him.
But the people in the south of Xiniu Hezhou had long been given mental hints by Pan Huang, so they did not show much enthusiasm for Jinnara.
Soon, Jinnara found the local High Priest and expressed that he wanted to preach here.
"Preach? Preach what? What sect are you?" The High Priest asked several questions after hearing Jinnara say this, and the tone and expression were full of disdain. At the same time, the unconscious waving action made his right hand under his sleeve flash away, but Jinnara saw it clearly. The High Priest's right hand actually only had three fingers, which made him quite curious, but Jinnara was not a person who liked to seek answers.
Seeing the High Priest like this, he was not annoyed, and then he told the High Priest some of the doctrines of Buddhism.
"Oh? You say your Buddhism can convert others and persuade people to be good?" After hearing Jinnara's explanation, the High Priest became interested instantly.
"Yes!" Jinnara nodded.
"Since that's the case, I have a few difficult problems here. If you do it, I will allow you to preach here. If you can't do it, you should go back to where you came from." The High Priest looked at Jinnara and said.
"Okay!" Jinnara nodded.
"We have three people here. One is named A Liu, a descendant of a family of thieves. I want you to persuade him not to steal in the future. Another is named A Dao, a hooligan and bully. I want you to persuade him to abandon evil and follow good and be a person. This third person is named A Xiu, a prostitute. I want you to persuade her to follow good. Since your so-called sect has the ability to persuade people to be good, then let me see your ability first." The High Priest looked at Jinnara and said.
"Okay!" Jinnara agreed without even thinking.
"This High Priest doesn't look like a good person at all." Changxi, who was watching this scene, frowned and said.
"I think so too. The High Priest said before that A Liu is a family of thieves. The money of the woman just now was clearly stolen, but she said it was not stolen. This may have something to do with A Liu's identity as a family of thieves." Changxi learned Pan Huang's appearance and rubbed his chin to analyze.
Pan Huang on the side didn't speak, he just watched quietly. Now it's just the beginning, the ones behind are much more explosive than this.
In the water mirror, Jinnara walked out of the High Priest's mansion. After walking out, he began to inquire about A Liu's location. Fortunately, A Liu was also a celebrity here, and soon Jinnara found A Liu in a small alley.
