I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

Chapter 182: The Strange Bird That Understands “Faith”
This sacred mountain was very famous during the prehistoric times. It can be said that after experiencing countless eras of the prehistoric times, and today after the prehistoric times were shattered, Kunlun's reputation remains unfaded, and it can be called a super evergreen sacred mountain that has experienced thousands of eras.

The reason why Kunlun Mountain remains famous is not entirely due to its long lifespan.

After all, if Kunlun was famous for his long lifespan, then logically the Kunlun Mountain God should have long been a first-class immortal.

However, the truth is that the Kunlun Mountain God is just a tiny fairy in Kunlun Mountain, who is so small that he cannot be any smaller.

It's comparable to the land god on the roadside.

It’s not that the Kunlun Mountain God is really weak. Even if he is just a mountain god, he also has the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal.

The reason why it is said that the Kunlun Mountain God cannot be any smaller in Kunlun Mountain is because there are so many great gods in Kunlun Mountain.

There are so many that it’s dizzying and terrifying at the same time.

At the top of Kunlun Mountain lives the sage Yuanshi Tianzun.

Although Yuanshi Tianzun no longer lived on Mount Kunlun during this period due to a ban issued by Daozu, there were still no immortals or gods who dared to occupy the top of Mount Kunlun.

Do you want to live if you dare to rob the saint’s temple?

Of course, it is not just because the saint’s temple is on Mount Kunlun, another very important factor is the teaching of the Dharma.

The Chan teaching still exists today.

It’s just that the Chan sect is very low-key.

After all, among the four great sects in the ancient times, only the Chan Sect was still a serious and legitimate sect.

The Western religion was assimilated, and the two saints were forbidden by the Taoist ancestor to enter the prehistoric world, so they didn't even have the ability to resist.

The Jiejiao is basically in a state of complete destruction, except for a few big cats and small cats jumping around occasionally, this big sect has long lost its vitality. Even the leader himself is thinking about whether to establish a new sect. After all, Tongtian Sect Master is the only one among all the saints who was allowed by the Taoist Ancestor to enter the prehistoric world in his real body. It is not difficult for him to rebuild a new sect.

I won’t talk about the human education, there are only two or three cats of different sizes.

The reason why I have the right to speak is all thanks to the great master Xuandu who traveled among the people.

Not only is the Chan Sect still maintaining the heritage of a major sect, but generations of disciples are also extremely united.

The disciples of the orthodox school who are currently serving in the Heavenly Court were also included in the List of Conferred Gods differently from other gods. For example, Yang Jian was included in the List of Conferred Gods voluntarily, which was considered to be giving enough face to the Great Heavenly Venerable.

This also means that Heaven turns a blind eye to the Chan Sect. As long as you don't mess around, Heaven won't care about you.

Would the followers of the Chan sect mess around? Obviously not.

Under the rule of Yuanshi Tianzun, most of the followers of the Chan sect abide by the bottom line, and the few who do not have been expelled from the sect long ago.

For example, the Yin brothers during the Conferred God Tribulation period.

In addition to the system of the Chan sect, there is another large group of beings on Mount Kunlun that many ordinary immortals and gods cannot afford to offend, nor are willing to offend.

The most famous among them is the Queen Mother of the West.

This Queen Mother of the West is not the same person as the Queen Mother of Heaven today.

Although mortals in the world often think that the two are the same, there is actually a huge difference between the two.

The Queen Mother became the Queen Mother almost at the time when the primitive world was shattered. At that time, the demon clan's heaven was destroyed, and it was the Taoist Ancestor who allowed the Great Heavenly Venerable and the Queen Mother to jointly rule the heaven in order to stabilize the order of the Three Realms and Six Paths.

The Queen Mother of the West has existed for a long time.

This person's past can even be traced back to the time when the Taoist Ancestor had just become a saint.

In the early primitive times, the Queen Mother of the West was the chief of the female fairies, and she was the yin and yang opposite of the King of the East who had disappeared.

Because of the great reputation she accumulated in her early years, the Queen Mother of the West still has a very high status in the current Broken World.

It can be said that she is one of the very few people who is not in the Heavenly Court but can use her face to make the Heavenly Court retreat.

The Queen Mother of the West, who had a very complicated relationship with the dragon and phoenix clans, helped many dragon and phoenix clans escape from difficulties at the hands of the Heavenly Court.

It was because of the Queen Mother of the West that Yan Cai was not held accountable by the Heavenly Court.

The Queen Mother of the West is different from the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox Teaching.

The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect only come to Kunlun Mountain occasionally to help their master manage the temple there.

The Queen Mother of the West basically lives in Kunlun Mountain.

Together with the various immortals and gods who have submitted to the Queen Mother of the West, she can basically be said to be the true leader of Kunlun Mountain.

After the Conferred Gods Tribulation, Queen Mother of the West felt deeply the horror of the calamity. In order to protect her followers, she did not allow the use of magic on Mount Kunlun after the Conferred Gods Tribulation.

Even the Twelve Golden Immortals have to abide by the rules of the Queen Mother of the West.

When Jade Ding Zhenren was walking through Kunlun Mountain, a blue bird was silently watching him.

Next to the bluebird, there is a bigger bird. This bird has the body of a peacock, but a very strange head, like a cat.

"Bluebird, what is this old man doing? He seems so anxious and flustered. This doesn't seem like the style of the Twelve Golden Immortals."

The strange bird with a cat's head is curious.

The bluebird's cold voice sounded: "I don't know."

"Then you're taking it so seriously?"

"The Queen asked me to look after Yu Ding."

"Your Majesty, it's really true. We live our own lives, and the Twelve Golden Immortals live their own lives. Why should we pay attention to what the Twelve Golden Immortals are doing? They are not the same Twelve Golden Immortals as before." The strange bird couldn't help but complain.

Bluebird remained silent. She didn't like arguing with others. She was just following the Queen's orders.

But the strange bird was right about one thing.

The Twelve Golden Immortals are no longer the same Twelve Golden Immortals.

In the original calamity of Conferred Gods, the Twelve Golden Immortals suffered great harm. The three flowers on their heads were cut off, and all their hard training for several epochs was in vain.

They should have all been Golden Immortals, but now they are still struggling in the Golden Immortal realm. Even Yang Jian, the third-generation disciple of the Chan sect, is stronger than them.

"I don't care about that. I'll do whatever the Queen tells me to do."

"You are so boring. I know what old Yu Ding is so anxious to do." The strange bird said proudly.

The bluebird glanced at the strange bird and said nothing.

The strange bird chuckled and said, "Big sister Bluebird, you are so cold. Let me tell you, old man Yu Ding has communicated with his apprentice named Yang Jian."

"Yang Jian?"

"Yes, that's the God of Justice. He told Old Man Yu Ding that... the Buddha at Lingshan was going to take action against someone."

The strange bird was stunned for a moment: "Hey, why can't I see the name of so-and-so clearly?"

The strange bird was stunned.

The strange bird is a unique bird of the Phoenix clan, and is also the only surviving species of her clan left after the ancient world was shattered.

People of her clan have no talent for cultivation, and becoming a celestial being is often the limit for them.

In ancient times, their clan was full of celestial immortals, but there was not a single profound immortal.

After the great destruction of the primitive world, the tribe became extinct, leaving only the strange bird, a "kitten".

Although they have no talent for cultivation, the monster bird clan has an incredible magical power.

"To be well-versed in."

The strange bird clan calls this talent "knowledge".

Know all the information about "faith".

The "letters" here include messages from immortals and gods, letters from mortals, and any "letters" that are born out of communication are within the scope of their "knowledge".

In ancient times, this race of strange birds was also hunted by other races.

Just like the Kongmang clan.

They are beings whose magical powers are too powerful and are fundamentally hated by other races.

If it weren't for the protection of the Phoenix Clan, this race would probably have been killed to the last member left.

Even so, to this day, there are still many practitioners who regard the strange bird as a "demon" that anyone can kill.

Fortunately, the person beside her was Blue Bird, the Queen Mother of the West's close attendant, who didn't care much about other people, otherwise she would be captured in minutes if she displayed such magical powers.

"Don't use your ability again." The Blue Bird's voice was no longer cold, and it advised: "You know that person, right? When you leave Kunlun Mountain in the future, go find that person. I guess the person you can't see in the letter Yang Jian wrote to Jade Ding Zhenren is that person."

"Oh, that's right! There were several names that I didn't see before, and I thought it was a saint who returned to the primitive times." The strange bird laughed.

Her abilities are not as abnormal as those of the Six-Eared Macaque, one of the Four Chaos Monkeys.

The six-eared macaque listened to the thirty-three heavens above and the cycle of reincarnation in the blue sky and the underworld below.

Basically, it can be said that from saints to insects, there is nothing he cannot hear.

This is why there is a saying that "the Dharma should not be passed on to others".

Because there are no secrets in the prehistoric world for Liu'er Mihou, in order to prevent the Taoist tradition from being stolen by Liu'er Mihou, many powerful people will hold back when passing on their teachings.

Some powerful people don't even teach their disciples by words or deeds, but instead use some special ways to pass on their teachings.

The strange bird doesn't have the ability of the four monkeys.

"Blue Bird, if I go to that person for help, will he be willing to accept me?" the strange bird asked again.

A faint light flashed across the blue bird's body, and she turned back into the appearance of the green-clothed goddess.

"I don't know. I have met that person several times, but we are not close friends." Qingniao shook her head and couldn't help but recall the scenes when she met Jiang Wang several times when she went to heaven.

To be honest, she didn't see anything special about the legendary resource.

"Well, okay, I will go to heaven to look for him in a few days. I hope that I won't be mistaken for a demon and killed by the heavenly soldiers and generals on the way there."

The strange bird sighed and glanced at the blue bird secretly again.

The corners of Bluebird's mouth rose: "Okay, I know what you mean, I'll take you there."

"Thank you, Sister Bluebird!" The strange bird was happy. The Bluebird had a badge that allowed it to enter and leave the Heavenly Palace freely. With the Bluebird's escort, the strange bird would not be regarded as a demon by the Heavenly Palace.

……

Jade Ding Zhenren came to Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain.

Except for a few people who joined the Western Religion, he was the only one missing from the Twelve Golden Immortals.

"Yu Ding, you asked us to come, why did you arrive last?" Guangchengzi stared at Yu Ding with an unhappy look on his face.

They, the Twelve Golden Immortals, are a little special.

Because the three flowers on the top of their head were cut off, they have been rebuilding it.

In order to restore their previous strength, they rarely returned to their caves and lived in Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain.

Only Jade Ding Zhenren is a little special. He is still living in his own cave.

After receiving the letter from Yang Jian, he immediately passed it on to his fellow disciples.

All the fellow disciples were in Kunlun Mountain and arrived quickly. He was the only one who notified them, but he was the last one to arrive.

Yu Ding said apologetically, "Originally I didn't want to trouble you brothers, but it was my useless disciple who sent me a message. I thought it was a serious matter, so I asked you brothers to come and witness it."

When the topic of disciples was mentioned, the other Twelve Golden Immortals immediately fell silent.

Not only did they stop talking, they even stopped looking at Yu Ding.

As for Yu Ding, every time his fellow disciples meet, they always mention his disciple named Yang Jian.

Who doesn't know your disciple's name is Yang Jian? You always say it, isn't it annoying?

Although the Twelve Golden Immortals are brothers, there is also a chain of comparison among them.

In the past, everyone competed with each other in terms of cultivation, but later, because of the Conferred God, everyone had their top three flowers cut off, so they could only compete with their disciples. Don’t ask why they don’t compete with each other in terms of background, because everyone’s background is that of a Jade Purity Saint!

So apart from competing for apprentices, there is really no other place to compete.

When it comes to competing for disciples, Jade Ding Zhenren is the one who should be least likely to be fooled.

Because his apprentice's name is Yang Jian!

The leader among the third generation of disciples of the Chan Sect! A rare ruthless character who achieved sainthood in the flesh, now the justice god of the first dragon head heaven, feared by immortals and gods.

Apart from Yu Ding, there are some famous disciples among the Twelve Golden Immortals, but if you want to compare with Yang Jian, none of them are qualified.

The title of the first among the third generation disciples of the Chan sect is too famous.

"Since it's the message from Yang Jian, just tell us." Taoist Huanglong said with a gentle expression.

As the third Taoist priest among the Twelve Golden Immortals, Huang Long has always been relatively invisible among the Twelve Golden Immortals. However, they are fellow disciples after all, and the others do not look down on him. It’s just that he is not well-known in the outside world.

"Lingshan is about to make a move." Jade Ding Zhenren did not keep anyone in suspense and said straight to the point: "You should know that person, right? My disciple said that Lingshan might forcefully abduct him to Lingshan."

"Will Lingshan do such a stupid thing?" Guangchengzi frowned. "It shouldn't be possible. Tathagata knows with his brain that if he really did this, how would the entire prehistoric world view Lingshan?"

"When has Lingshan ever cared about face?" a Golden Immortal teased.

It would have been fine if he didn't make any jokes, but as soon as he started, the atmosphere immediately became silent.

Because he was right.

Lingshan really doesn't care much about face. The Buddhas in Lingshan let their believers do things. They give orders from behind and rarely take action themselves.

In this case…

"What did the teacher say?" asked Ji Liusun.

"The teacher only asked us to protect the young friend and ensure his safety." Taiyi Zhenren said, "But I don't know if the young friend is willing to be protected by us?"

"Alas, we have had a conflict with Lingshan. I am afraid we will suffer. If possible, would you like to inform the three brothers in advance?" Qingxu Daode Zhenjun said, "The three of you will not ignore us, right?"

The three people mentioned by Taiyi Zhenren are Manjusri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and Cihang Taoist.

These three went to the Western Church because of the deification.

Of course, the one they went to the Western Religion is different from the Dingguang Immortal of the Jie Religion.

Chang'er Dingguangxian is a betrayer.

His actions were equivalent to a complete break with the Jiejiao, leaving no possibility of reconciliation.

Manjusri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Cihang Taoist are different.

These three went to the Western Religion to help Duobao Taoist stabilize the Western Religion at that time.

The reason for this is that Duobao Taoist went to the Western Paradise to teach under the instruction of Laojun, who was also the leader of the Chan Sect.

The matter of converting the barbarians into Buddhas should have been done by the human teachings, but the human teachings only had one big cat and one small cat, and it was really hard to tell the two apart, so three people were shaken over from the orthodox teachings.

So these three can basically be said to be following the orders of their elders, but in the eyes of other brothers, they are still apostates.

Therefore, if there is nothing serious, the Twelve Yuxu Immortals will not contact those who went to the Western Church.

By contacting those people, doesn’t it mean that the Twelve Yuxu Immortals have taken the initiative to admit their mistakes?
This kind of thing would never happen to the arrogant Twelve Yuxu Immortals.

But this time it happened suddenly, and even they were a little surprised.

Lingshan is so shameless that he is prepared to kidnap others.

Although the Twelve Yuxu Immortals did not think it was strange that Lingshan did such a thing, they still felt that Lingshan did not follow any rules.

At least be a respectable and upright religion!
However, no matter how much they think about it now, it will be of no avail. It would be better for them to find their fellow practitioners on Lingshan Mountain as soon as possible and try to find out more clearly.

After a little hesitation, the Twelve Yuxu Immortals decided to find the renegade fellow disciple and ask for clarification.

"Who's going?" Taoist Huang Long said, "I can't go to Lingshan, you should know that."

Taoist Huanglong has a special identity.

He is a member of the dragon clan, and is the most orthodox true dragon descendant of the dragon clan - Huanglong.

However, because of its orthodoxy, some problems arose.

There is a sect in Lingshan called the Eight Heavenly Dragons. Lingshan has always hoped that Huanglong would convert and make the name of the Eight Heavenly Dragons more famous.

However, Huang Long, as a disciple of the Chan sect, didn't care about Lingshan at all, which also led to some conflicts.

But even though there were conflicts, Lingshan did not give up on getting Huanglong to convert.

At this moment, Huang Long's going to Lingshan is like throwing a meat bun at a dog. There is no return.

Jade Ding Zhenren thought for a while and said, "I'd better go. I have occasional contact with those three brothers."

Jade Ding Zhenren was popular, and his disciple Yang Jian was a famous god of justice, so everyone was willing to give him face. Therefore, he decided to leave for Lingshan, and no one else said anything.

"When you go to Lingshan, don't get into conflict with it. Now that our master is not here, Lingshan is very powerful. If there is a conflict, just be patient." Guangchengzi advised: "Remember this."

"I know."

Jade Ding Zhenren nodded.

The relationship between Lingshan and Chanjiao can’t be said to be close, but it’s not very good anyway.

……

Yu Ding left.

The other Yuxu Immortals looked at each other in bewilderment.

It was Huang Long Zhenren who spoke first: "How do we contact that young friend?"

Because he is a Taoist priest without any moral principles, Huang Long is very calm about the existence of "chance".

But this calmness only applies to those illusory "opportunities".

If a definite opportunity is presented before him, he will take it more seriously than anyone else.

This is the type of person who has no morals.

The less you appear to care, the more you actually care about it in your heart.

Who doesn’t want to get a chance?
"Brother, if you want to go, go ahead." Guang Chengzi saw what Huang Long was thinking and said with a smile, "It just so happens that fellow Daoist Jiang is in the East China Sea right now. If you go, maybe you can even chat with the old Dragon King about family matters."

"What do you think, fellow disciples?" asked Master Huanglong again.

"You go ahead, Senior Brother Huanglong (Junior Brother)."

The Twelve Yuxu Immortals don't care about the so-called chance.

As children of saints, they also have their own pride. In addition, the Twelve Yuxu Immortals are essentially somewhat closed. They don't know much about news from the outside world and don't care much about opportunities in this regard.

No matter how good the opportunity is, can it compare with that of the Saint Master?
So Huang Long left too.

……

After leaving Kunlun Mountain, Jade Ding Zhenren hurried to Xiniu Hezhou.

Zhenren Huanglong flew on a cloud to the East China Sea of ​​Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Kunlun Mountain is located in the Dongsheng Continent, and True Man Huanglong soon arrived at the East China Sea.

The East China Sea was in chaos at this time.

The old Dragon King of the East China Sea tried his best to suppress the chaotic aquatic creatures.

The monkey, who was born as a spiritual stone monkey, brought a shock far beyond Jiang Wang's cognition.

At this moment, the entire East China Sea was in chaos.

It was not for any other reason, it was all because the rhythm of heaven and earth created when the Spirit Stone Monkey was born was constantly attracting the water creatures to the direction of Huaguo Mountain.

If it weren't for the suppression of the old Dragon King, the Flower-Fruit Mountain would have been surrounded by aquatic creatures by now.

"Senior Bai Ze, have I gotten into any trouble?" Jiang Wang looked around awkwardly.

I thought it was just an ordinary stone monkey coming out and he just came to check in.

Who could have imagined this would be the case.

"It's not my fault, young friend." Bai Ze shook his head: "I think this Lingming Stone Monkey is just a semi-finished product, not the real Lingming Stone Monkey. It is precisely because of this that it attracts so many aquatic creatures to covet it."

"Why?"

"It is precisely because he is a half-finished spiritual stone monkey that his destiny can be taken away. Those who get this opportunity may be transformed into spiritual stone fish or something like that?"

"I asked how to solve it... not why."

"If I don't solve it, I'm afraid Lingshan will really be afraid that someone will come and take me away."

Jiang Wang smiled bitterly.

He originally just wanted to cause some trouble in Lingshan, but who could have imagined that it would lead to the following situation.

To cause trouble means to prevent the stone monkey from going to look for Patriarch Bodhi. In this way, Lingshan can only look for the stone monkey instead.

But in this situation...the stone monkey might be killed.

There are powerful creatures among the aquatic creatures, some of which are even stronger than ordinary dragons.

In name, the dragon clan rules the four seas, but how many creatures are there in the four seas? From the beginning of the prehistoric times, there were ancient water creatures living here. After the ancestor dragon became a dragon vein, the dragon clan declined. Among them, the ancient water creatures that followed the ancestor dragon did not also decline. Many ancient water creatures hid their identities and just lived in the four seas. After all, the four seas are so huge that it is impossible for a real dragon to supervise every place.

Perhaps these ancient water creatures are pure-hearted and no longer pursue so-called opportunities, let alone kill the Spiritual Stone Monkey for a little bit of destiny.

But what about their descendants?
"It's okay." Bai Ze waved his hand: "With the Dragon King here, they won't go too far."

"The problem now is... they're already here."

Bai Ze looked towards the horizon.

Jiang Wang was stunned.

Already here?

Why is it so fast.

Could it be that Lingshan has been waiting for the stone monkey to be born?

Jiang Wang looked in the direction Bai Ze was looking.

Soon, the figure of Buddha sitting on a golden lotus appeared in the clouds.

The Buddha was very polite and greeted everyone as soon as he came up.

"I met two fellow Taoists."

The visitors from heaven were very polite.

Because the old Dragon King had gone to suppress the water tribe, the only people present were Jiang Wang and Bai Ze.

Jiang Wang didn't know this Buddha, so facing his friendliness, he could only smile and said, "Hello, fellow Taoist."

Bai Ze was not so polite.

He looked at the Buddha with a cold expression and said with a strange smile: "I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be you, Dipankara Buddha."

For some reason, Bai Ze's tone was very weird, which was surprising.

However, after hearing his title, Jiang Wang also understood where his sarcasm came from.

There is no other reason, because the name of the visitor is "Dian Deng Buddha".
