Chapter 1351: Phase 3 Plan
Half a year later.
Northern Juluzhou.
In a dilapidated ancient temple, the Black Lotus Saint Envoy looked up at the stone Buddha in the center of the temple. His divine thoughts filled the entire ancient temple, but he could not detect any energy items.
This is the place where the Dragon Light Ancient Buddha once set foot, and it is also the oldest relic among all the temples dedicated to the Dragon Light Ancient Buddha.
Whether it is the dead trees in the courtyard or the dust in the temple, they all reveal the traces of the passage of time.
It’s a pity that if there is no harvest, the ancient is meaningless.
After a long time, the Black Lotus Saint Envoy silently retracted his divine thoughts, raised his hand and summoned an iron rod, starting with the stone statue of the Dragon Light Ancient Buddha, and then turned to smash the entire temple, smashing all the buildings into powder.
However, even so, he didn’t get anything.
And this is the 88th temple he has smashed.
The whole process made him look like he was not looking for something, but rather like he was here to remove the traces left by the ancient Buddha in the world.
A gentle breeze blew up his embroidered brocade robe, making the flowers on it seem to come alive and unusually agile.
The Black Lotus Saint stood on the ruins with a stick, looking up at the blue sky, and finally realized that it was not his aunt who hindered him, nor was it that he had no ability, but that the ancient Buddha relics were indeed difficult to find.
Especially when he had no useful information, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack... No, it was no different from looking for a needle in the three realms.
Thinking of this, he vaguely regretted leaving his aunt without saying goodbye at that time, and even began to worry that if she found the real Wukong and knew that he was a fake Wukong, she would completely ruin this hard-earned family relationship.
However, when he thought of going back to look for the other party, he found that he only had the location information of Baihua Island. But he didn't know where this Baihua Island was and what it looked like.
Fortunately, he knew that there was a treasure in the Heavenly Palace called the Haotian Mirror, which could detect the gods, demons, mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas in the Three Realms, and even palaces and buildings that were called out and left traces in the heart of the sky.
If there were items related to the person being detected, the accuracy would be higher. Coincidentally, the flower robe he was wearing was sewn by his aunt. At that time, he only needed to stick it on the Haotian Mirror, and he would definitely be able to find the other party's whereabouts.
Of course, there is a prerequisite for all this, that is, the other party did not conceal his own breath and hide himself, otherwise even if he had the flower robe, he would not be able to find his aunt's trace through the Haotian Mirror...
Not long after.
The Black Lotus Saint Envoy came to the Lingxiao Palace, where he saw the giant scorpion woman who sat on the throne and worked hard to deal with the affairs of the heaven.
"Sun Wukong?" The giant scorpion woman looked up at him and stood up suddenly from the throne.
"Don't be nervous, it's me." The Black Lotus Saint Envoy changed and returned to his original black clothes and covered his head.
The giant scorpion woman breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in her chair: "You scared me... Black Lotus, didn't the Buddha send you to find the sarira? How did you have time to come here?"
The Black Lotus Saint Envoy sighed: "I was looking for the sarira, but I have been looking for five years and have overturned hundreds of temples, but I still found nothing."
The giant scorpion woman comforted: "This is originally a very difficult task, and the difficulty is no less than the difficulties faced by us guardians. Don't be anxious, you have to be patient and find it, even if you only find one, the Buddha will not blame you if you don't find zero."
The Black Lotus Saint Envoy said: "I am afraid of finding zero. The Buddha said that only Sun Wukong can find the Buddha's bone relics. Although I am also a monkey, I am not Sun Wukong after all."
The giant scorpion woman : "Don't be discouraged. Our people are now searching for Tang Monk and his disciples in the three realms. As long as we find Sun Wukong, we may be able to find the relic by following him. And if he has already found the relic, we can also snatch it from him."
"That being said, for me now, these are all unreal things." The Black Lotus Saint said: "Right Protector, I'll be frank. I want to borrow the Haotian Mirror."
The Giant Scorpion Girl said: "I have tried it, and the Haotian Mirror cannot lock the location of the relics of the ancient Buddhas."
The Black Lotus Saint took out a bluish-white jade porcelain bottle from his arms and said: "When you tried, you didn't have anything related to the ancient Buddha in your hand? I have it here!"
"What is this?" The Giant Scorpion Girl asked curiously.
"It is the powder of the oldest stone Buddha statue of the Longguang Ancient Buddha. There may still be some cause and effect with him on it." The Black Lotus Saint said.
The Giant Scorpion Girl nodded, without any doubt: "Wait a moment, I will go to the treasure house to get the Haotian Mirror."
"Thank you." The Black Lotus Saint saluted with a fist.
"There's no need for this between you and me."
The giant scorpion girl smiled, turned into a stream of purple-black light, and disappeared in the Lingxiao Palace in an instant.
Not long after, she suddenly appeared in front of the Lingxiao Palace with a golden round mirror in her hand, walked slowly inside, raised her hand and handed the round mirror to the Black Lotus Saint Envoy: "Here~"
The Black Lotus Saint Envoy took the round mirror, held it flat with one hand, and gently sprinkled the stone Buddha powder on the edge of the mirror. As he input mana, the mirror surface suddenly lit up with a faint light, and a ruin was clearly visible in the light and shadow.
"Is this the ruins of the Buddhist temple destroyed by you?" the giant scorpion girl asked.
"Yes."
The Black Lotus Saint Envoy responded, suddenly sat cross-legged, and said in a deep voice: "I'll try again, you go do your thing first."
The giant scorpion girl was in charge of the power of the heaven, and she was indeed very busy, so she didn't say anything polite, and turned to the high platform and the imperial table...
What she didn't know was that the moment she turned around, the Black Lotus Saint Envoy put his sleeves on the back of the Haotian Mirror and began to check for her aunt's whereabouts.
A moment later.
The Giant Scorpion Girl sat upright to review the memorials, and the Haotian Mirror in front of the Black Lotus Saint Envoy once again lit up with a faint light. In that faint light, a body was seen floating in the sea of blood, drifting with the waves.
The Black Lotus Saint Envoy suddenly widened his eyes and almost cried out.
But his body still trembled uncontrollably, and a storm was set off in his heart!
After a long time.
The Black Lotus Saint Envoy tried hard to control his mind and body, stood up suddenly, and shouted to the Giant Scorpion Girl: "Right Protector, there are some clues."
"Really?" The Giant Scorpion Girl was overjoyed.
The Black Lotus Saint said, "Of course, but..."
"But what?"
"But I have to take this Haotian Mirror with me for investigation."
The Giant Scorpion Girl said decisively, "You can take it with you. As long as you can complete the task assigned by the Buddha, there is nothing wrong with it."
The Black Lotus Saint said gratefully, "Right Protector, thank you."
The Giant Scorpion Girl: "We are both working for the Buddha, and this is what we should do."
In a blink of an eye, the Black Lotus Saint came to the sea of blood, cast a spell to lift the body soaked in the sea, and after seeing the other person's face clearly, his body trembled, and a wave of sadness emerged uncontrollably in his heart.
The only person in this world who brought him some family affection died just like that. Will he be able to meet such a person in the future?
He was filled with despair, and the flowers blooming in the wilderness withered in an instant, and his chest was filled with resentment!
After an unknown period of time, the Black Lotus Saint finally woke up from the suffocating despair, silently placed the Haotian Mirror on the body, and explored the cause and effect.
Soon, he saw his aunt alive in the mirror. He saw his aunt searching the underworld, asking around for the whereabouts of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and asking countless ghosts. Finally, one day, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva appeared in front of her and asked her why she was looking for him.
His aunt's reaction made him burst into tears. He saw his aunt kneeling in front of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and asking him about the whereabouts of the ancient Buddha's relics.
Even though he left without saying goodbye, his aunt was still helping him.
How could Sun Wukong have such selfless love!
Then, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva gave guidance, saying that there might be some information in the blood sea. After all, the former Blood Sea Great Sage was also an ancient demon god. If he could see his residual spirit, he might be able to gain something.
So, his aunt came to the blood sea, but saw Ananda and Kasyapa who were torturing the Buddhas here.
As soon as the two sides met, Ananda and Kasyapa tied up my aunt and tortured her for her purpose. My aunt refused to tell him, so she was beaten to death in the sea of blood...
"Ananda, Kasyapa."
Seeing this, the Black Lotus Saint gnashed his teeth, and his voice was full of endless coldness.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Avici Hell.
Ananda and Kasyapa stared at the Buddhas being tortured in front of them, talking in a low voice head to head.
After this period of effort, they finally determined that these diehards were all perverts.
They regarded suffering as practice, torture as sharpening, fearless of death, and even regarded death as liberation. They were really crazy.
"Kasyapa, Ananda."
Just as they continued to discuss how to torture these gods and Buddhas in various ways, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind them.
The two Buddhas looked at the sound at the same time, and saw the Black Lotus Dharma Protector, one of the four black Dharma protectors, coming slowly, and hurriedly greeted him together.
"Greetings to the Dharma Protector Black Lotus."
Black Lotus waved his hand: "No need to be polite. I came here this time to ask the two venerables a question."
Kasyapa smiled and said: "You can ask as much as you want. We promise to answer everything we know."
"I want to ask, have you seen a silver-haired old woman in the sea of blood? She ruined my good deeds and disturbed my Taoism. I am chasing her now, but I lost her breath when I chased her to the sea of blood."
The two venerables looked at each other and then laughed in unison.
The Black Lotus Saint narrowed his eyes and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Ananda said as if to take credit, "It's a coincidence. Not long ago, we met a silver-haired old woman in the sea of blood. We caught her because she was sneaking around and tortured her severely. Unexpectedly, we beat her to death before we could get any information out of her."
Kasyapa smiled and said, "I never thought that this could indirectly help the Dharma Protector. Good, great good!"
The Black Lotus Saint smiled slightly, and when the two monks were laughing, he suddenly summoned an iron rod and smashed Kasyapa's head with it. Blood and brains splashed all over Ananda's face.
Ananda was stunned, or dumbfounded, but before he could react, the Black Lotus Saint's iron rod hit him on the head and smashed his head.
Afterwards, in order to prevent the two monks from coming back to life, he even summoned the divine fire to burn their bodies and residual souls to ashes, completely eliminating the possibility of resurrection.
Until then, the evil in his heart was finally released. After a moment of silence, he turned into the appearance of Sun Wukong, and the iron rod in his hand turned into the appearance of the golden hoop. He beat and killed the little ghost who was executing the sentence, and saved the twenty-eight Buddhas.
"Thank you, Sheng Buddha." The twenty-eight Buddhas bowed in unison to thank him.
The Black Lotus Saint Envoy waved his hand and said, "No need to say more, run for your life."
The twenty-eight Buddhas bowed again to thank him, and then turned into light and left.
When there were no more outsiders here, the Black Lotus Saint Envoy sighed, and the empty space in his heart could not be filled...
A few days later.
In the human world, in Qiaojiazhuang.
Ksitigarbha appeared in Qin Yao's courtyard and called out, "Sandalwood Merit Buddha..."
In the main hall, Qin Yao, who was sitting in front of a beautiful silver-haired woman, looked up and said immediately: "Princess, please wait a moment."
Princess Asura, who looks about thirty years old, has delicate and fair skin, and an exquisite face, nodded slightly: "You go ahead, I'll wait."
Qin Yao smiled, then flashed into the courtyard, cupped his hands towards Ksitigarbha and said, "I have seen the great monk."
Ksitigarbha nodded with a smile on his face: "Buddha of Merit and Virtue, the old monk received the exact news that Sun Wukong, the victorious Buddha, sneaked into hell, killed Ananda and Kassapa in a sneak attack, and saved twenty-eight Buddhas."
"Well done." Qin Yao chuckled, raised his hand and said, "Bodhisattva, please come inside."
Ksitigarbha also raised his arms: "The meritorious Buddha goes first."
Qin Yao said: "When the great monk is present, how can there be any reason for the lesser monk to go first?"
Ksitigarbha paused for a moment, then took the first step and entered the main hall. When he raised his eyes, he saw a beautiful silver-haired woman of heavenly beauty.
"Zizhu pays homage to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva." Princess Asura took the lead in saluting.
Ksitigarbha put his hands together and said with a smile: "Congratulations, princess."
Princess Zizhu smiled and said, "Shedding the old body and returning to her true self, reborn in another life, all depends on the merits of the Buddha and the supernatural power."
In fact, before she got this body, she didn't dare to think about how perfect it could be.
But she never expected that the twelve-level karma fire red lotus left behind by her father would actually fall into the hands of the Tantan Merit Buddha.
These princesses were originally created by their father using the twelve-grade fire red lotus to condense the essence of the blood river and imitating Nuwa's creation of human beings.
What the father can do, the Buddha of Merit can naturally do, and because he only makes his own body, unlike his father who mass-produced many Asura princesses, this resulted in his body being even thicker than when he was young. Excellent quality, far beyond her expectations.
Seeing the heartfelt smile on Princess Asura's face, Qin Yao said with emotion: "It's just a coincidence that if I didn't have the twelfth-grade fire red lotus, I really wouldn't be able to create the body you have now. Your talent and physique will be inferior. a lot of."
Ksitigarbha said with a smile: "It is destined by destiny, so good, so good."
Qin Yao waved his hand: "You two, let's get down to business, it's time to carry out the third stage of the operation.
The content of the story at this stage is that Princess Shura died in a sea of blood, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva appeared to rescue her.
The next main goal is to let the Black Lotus Envoy discover the fact that the princess is still alive. What I see is more real than what I hear. "
Ksitigarbha suppressed his smile and said: "This is easy to handle. We have already prepared the matter for the princess to meet the old monk. Next, we only need the old monk to meet Heilian..."
