Chapter 295 Ksitigarbha and Dog Taoist
"Brother, please don't talk nonsense. The Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit is a thing used by the Western Religion to suppress destiny. The Two Saints of the West will never risk damaging the treasure to reshape Nezha's body."

Taiyi Zhenren suddenly spoke, interrupting the words of Manjusri Taoist.

What is the thing that suppresses destiny? It is the means to overturn the table in the war.

The Four Swords of the Jie Religion, the Tai Chi Diagram of the Human Religion, the Pangu Banner of the Chan Religion, the Red Hydrangea of ​​Nuwa, and the Twelve Golden Lotuses of Merit of the Western Religion.

If these treasures are allowed to work, they have the power to re-refine the primitive world and recreate the earth, fire, water and wind.

That is why there are only six saints, not seventy, eighty, ninety or ten saints.

As for the recent Xuanming and Houtu, they can barely be considered to have joined the table with the help of the reincarnation in the underworld.

Taiyi Zhenren sees things clearly. These disciples of the Chan school call them the Twelve Golden Immortals in a nice way, or in a blunt way, the twelve cards in Yuanshi Tianzun's hand.

Trying to obtain lotus roots from Western religions is simply a fantasy.

Taoist Manjusri stroked his beard and smiled, saying indifferently: "Brother, what you said is wrong. Ordinary people certainly can't do it, but if it is Nezha, it is another matter."

Taiyi Zhenren suddenly thought of something.

His junior fellow apprentice had something in mind.

His face suddenly turned pale: "Absolutely impossible! People with different ideologies cannot work together, so take care of yourself, Junior Brother."

After saying this, Taiyi Zhenren dodged and tried to leave.

"Brother, don't worry~"

Taoist Manjusri hurriedly stopped him, "Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider Nezha. If you use this ordinary spiritual lotus, Nezha will only be a celestial being for his entire life. He won't even be able to smell the fruit of the Golden Immortal Dao. If he doesn't become a Golden Immortal, his life span will end after one Yuanhui. Unless you use the peaches and golden elixir from the Heavenly Palace to prolong his life, don't you want Nezha to be unable to ascend to the Great Dao and become a dog of the Heavenly Palace?"

"This~"

Taiyi Zhenren was stunned when he heard this.

"Brother, have you figured it out? I want to introduce someone to you. Please follow me. That fellow Taoist is in Fengdu in Shu. It's only two days' walk away."

Taoist Manjusri said complacently, with a smile of success hidden in his eyes.

"Fengdu?"

Taiyi Zhenren gave a cold glance, which made Manjusri Taoist feel shocked. Could there be any changes in this matter?

Then Taiyi Zhenren said coldly: "The Taoist friend you are talking about is not Dizang, the chief disciple of the Western Religion? Didn't he go to the newly born underworld to open up territory? How can he still care about the affairs of the Yang world?"

At this time, Taiyi Zhenren came to his senses and instantly realized that Nezha's current outcome was inseparable from the plans of Manjusri and Ksitigarbha.

They obviously wanted to make use of Nezha's death and use the opportunity to pull him into the camp of Western religion.

Judging from the current situation, Taoist Manjusri has probably been flirting with the Western Church for a long time. Taoist Cihang and Samantabhadra, who have a close relationship with Manjusri, should not be much different.

If this continues, the Chan school will inevitably be tied together with the Western school in order to cope with the impending catastrophe.

Taiyi Zhenren didn't want to get involved, but Nezha's physical body made it difficult for him to extricate himself.

He recalled the past when Yuanshi Tianzun bestowed him the Chaos Pearl in Yuxu Palace, saying that he had been enlightened by this pearl and could become his disciple and face disasters for him.

Looking at the present again, he had to be involved in the dispute because Nezha's physical body was destroyed.

"I don't have the habit of going to people's homes to ask for help. If you can really bring golden lotus roots, then come to Qianyuan Mountain to see me."

After saying this, Taiyi Zhenren flicked his sleeves and left.

Fengdu.

When the underworld was first built, there were many things to be done.

The arrival of Ksitigarbha undoubtedly reduced the burden on Xuanming to perfect the rules of the underworld.

Xuanming was relieved to see Dizang construct the Eighteen Levels of Hell here, so he turned a blind eye.

As long as Houtu firmly controls the reincarnation cycle, Dizang will not be able to turn the tables.

Taoist Manjusri borrowed the passage from Fengdu to enter the underworld. Actually, the passage to the living world in Fengdu was opened by a battle between Nuwa and Xuanming three years ago.

Hou Tu passed through this passage and caused half of Mount Buzhou to fall into the underworld.

Afterwards, Hou Tu reincarnated and Mount Buzhou remained in the underworld.

As the underworld operated, the original gap shifted from the Northern Continent to the Southern Continent. After Hou Tu successfully achieved the Hedao, the underworld became stable and the gap would no longer move at will.

The eighteen levels of hell woven by Ksitigarbha have also come to an end.

As he walked along, Manjusri Taoist saw all eighteen levels of hell.

Countless ghosts line up to enter, to atone their past sins, to have their bones shaved and their flesh sliced, the meat steamed into ointment, to go through the frying pans several times, to pass through mountains of swords and seas of fire, to have their tongues pulled out one by one.

When he saw the familiar Buddha light on Ksitigarbha, he had no idea how many levels of hell he had passed through.

Ksitigarbha looked dazed, as if his mind was merged into the Eighteen Levels of Hell. He was unaware of Manjusri's arrival. Beside him stood a large white dog, which was Di Ting.

Di Ting discovered Manjusri Taoist, snorted and exhaled a breath through his nostrils to remind Ksitigarbha.

Ksitigarbha woke up from his daze and saw that the person who came was Manjusri Taoist. He smiled and said, "Manjusri Taoist friend, long time no see."

Taoist Manjusri nodded as he was about to tell Ksitigarbha about Taiyi Zhenren.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you think of my Eighteen Layers of Hell? Could you give me some pointers?"

Jizo suddenly spoke.

Manjusri Taoist didn't know what Ksitigarbha was keeping secret, and he seemed to have no interest in the previous plan.

He noticed that Dizang's eyes were full of fanaticism, almost crazy, when he looked at the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

Dizang asked him to comment on it, and he didn't want to refuse him, so he said, "As the saying goes, great skill does not require effort, great things are invisible, and great sounds are silent. Daoist friend, these eighteen levels of hell have the function of eliminating the karma of living beings. It is truly miraculous. I'm afraid it couldn't be built in such a short time."

"Yes, this is the treasure of my enlightenment, the one on which my entire cultivation is entrusted. In the past, it only had nine floors. After the underworld was completed, I was blessed and expanded it to eighteen floors. This hell in front of me is my most proud work. Even if a Daluo Jinxian falls into this place, he will never return."

Manjusri Taoist suddenly felt panic-stricken, thinking that Ksitigarbha was threatening him.

His expression turned fierce and he was about to explode.

"Don't panic, my friend. This hell will not be opened for you."

Dizang hurriedly explained, and then asked Manjusri why he came: "Daoyou came here, but has something changed at Chentang Pass?"

Manjusri then repeated Taiyi Zhenren's request.

Dizang nodded slowly and said, "That's not difficult. I will send a message to the disciples in the sect to pick a piece of golden lotus root. Daoist friend, please come to Jiuhua Mountain in three days and go to Qianyuan Mountain with me."

"Jiuhua Mountain?"

Manjusri looked puzzled.

"The Eighteen Layers of Hell have been built. What remains is to connect with the underworld and integrate them thoroughly. The underworld is extremely yin-filled. If cultivators like us stay here for too long, our cultivation will inevitably regress. That's why I chose Mount Jiuhua in the mortal world as my place of practice."

Ksitigarbha explained.

He stretched out his right hand, and a soul with a dog's head and a human body flew out from his sleeve.

"This is Dog Taoist. He had a dispute with Yang Jian in Jiejiao and his body was chopped into pieces by him, leaving only a Yin spirit. No one in Jiejiao paid attention to him, but I felt sorry for him and subdued him, thinking of taking the opportunity to rebuild his body. This time is just right."

Ksitigarbha explained to Manjusri the origin of the Dog Taoist.

Taoist Manjusri nodded: "You are indeed a kind-hearted person."

The Taoist Dog discovered that the Taoist Manjusri had an extraordinary aura, so he did not dare to neglect him and bowed to him.

Then I heard Ksitigarbha's voice saying, "Dog Taoist, you can escape very fast with your Yin Spirit body. Now I have a chance for you. If you do this well, your physical body will be completed."

The Taoist Dog was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.
