Buddha is the Tao

The nun was holding a whisk, wearing a blue and white eight-diagram cloud-light dress, silk cloud shoes, and had a face like a peach blossom. The seven women behind her ranged in age from twenty-five to seventeen, wearing light gauze, with bare white jade feet, and round and slender calves like sheep-fat jade, which attracted a lot of attention.

As soon as these seven beautiful women came down, they stood behind the nun, looking at Zhou Qing, saying some fragmentary and vague words to each other, teasing and playing from time to time, with a charming look in their eyes, and a beautiful and harmonious look between their tongues, just like a beautiful girl.

The Bull Demon King's family of three and some maids stood beside the nun, and the two water-repelling golden-eyed beasts remained in the sky and did not come down. The boy with a collar and gold ring looked at Zhou Qing curiously, but there was a flicker of fire in his eyes.

Zhou Qing frowned as he watched the coming force. This Wu Dang Holy Mother was a member of Jiejiao, not an ordinary person. Jiejiao leader Tong Tian Dao Ren was the founder of the Three Pure Ones, and his status was extremely high. Although he suffered a great loss in the Conferred God Battle, he was still a leader-level figure after all, so it was not a big deal, and he would not lose completely. As long as he was a leader, Zhou Qing could never compete with him.

Not to mention this leader, even this Holy Mother who came, Zhou Qing felt that her Taoism was far superior to his own.

"No wonder he is a disciple of Tongtian Sect Master. He is not just a nameless person. His aura is not much different from that of Maitreya Buddha. I can't compare with him."

Zhou Qing was surprised, but he was not really scared. Zhou Qing's Taoism was at the same level as Bull Demon King. Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Jade Ding Zhenren, and Daoxing Tianzun were barely at the same level. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, Zhou Qing had the trump card of twelve big flags, the change of heavenly way, and the five-color divine light and bronze bell. If they really fought, ten Bull Demon Kings together would not be his opponent.

But the difference in Taoism cannot be made up by the accumulation of numbers. Zhou Qing knew this clearly. For example, at the level of the five great sect masters, almost all of them were invincible. No matter how many people there were, it would be in vain.

Powerful magic weapons can make up for the difference in Taoism, but the difference cannot be too big. For example, if Zhou Qing fights any of the five great leaders now, he will be slapped to death. Of course, Maitreya Buddha, who is at the level of a quasi-leader, can fight. As for whether he can win, that is another matter.

After understanding his situation, Zhou Qing restrained his calculations. See if he can deal with the various forces. Here, it is far from the game in the human world.

After calming down, Zhou Qing smiled and said, "So it's the Holy Mother who came. I wonder what she's here for?"

"The Emperor is right. I came here to see the Emperor's demeanor and to explain the grudge. A few days ago, there was some conflict between the Emperor's disciples and my disciples, but it was a misunderstanding. I thought, we are all from the same lineage of Taoism, so there is no need to make a big fuss. The Emperor received the talisman of the Original Heavenly Venerable, and I am from the Jiejiao, so we are also from the same sect. Let's just forget about the fight. Third, I came here to discuss some specific things with the Emperor."

The Holy Mother Wu Dang smiled and brushed the whisk. Auspicious clouds curled up, fragrant winds blew, and auspicious golden light flowed. Clouds and clouds surged all over the ground, as if this place was not in the mountains, but in the fairy palace of heaven.

"Oh, so that's how it is. It's all because of the stubbornness of my disciples. I've had a lot of troubles these days. I haven't been in the mountains, so I have this disaster. Since the Holy Mother has come to explain the grudge, it's just right. I couldn't ask for it. This is not the place to talk. Holy Mothers, please come into my mountain gate first, lest other Taoists know about it and say that I don't take good care of you."

Zhou Qing smiled and made a magic formula. With a loud bell, the yellow light cover transformed by the copper bell opened a door. The stone bridge that flew through the poisonous dragon pool appeared. The jade pillar fairy mansion on the top of the Black Wind Mountain was shining with golden light, and the fairy sound came.

Under the fairy mansion, many palaces and buildings were built. They were all made of bluestone and mahogany, without gold and jade inlays. The structure was simple and strange. There was no grandeur, but there was a different taste of quietness and freedom.

More than 20,000 disciples under the leadership of Xiang Hui, Li Rong and other three generations of disciples chanted the Huangting Moral Mantra together, but none of them came out to greet them.

Zhou Qing didn't want to show off, but those disciples were underground. Although the profound skills Zhou Qing taught were profound, they were too young to compare with the accumulation of thousands of years. If they were shown to others, they would be laughed at and would only be mysterious.

On the contrary, some of the demon soldiers stationed on the hills were really powerful, but they were full of demonic energy and could not be counted if they were not properly organized.

Seeing Zhou Qing open the bronze bell, the Holy Mother Wu Dang and the seven women bowed to Zhou Qing respectively, went up the stone bridge, and led by Wen Lanxin, Liao Xiaojin, and the big and small foxes, they went straight to the Jade Pillar Immortal Mansion. However, the Bull Demon King hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should go in.

Zhou Qing used the bronze bell to cover the hill. As long as people entered it, if a fight broke out, Zhou Qing could use the terrain to exert his strength tenfold. Even if Maitreya Buddha entered the bell, he would probably be in danger. Zhou Qing's move had the flavor of the Hongmen Banquet.

Seeing the Bull Demon King hesitate, Zhou Qing felt relieved. The Holy Mother Wu Dang didn't care, but made Zhou Qing alert.

"Great Sage Ping Tian, ​​please come in." Zhou Qing smiled in front of the Bull Demon King and bowed his head.

"Daddy, we are here to explain the grudges to the Emperor. Since the Emperor has invited us, we must not lose our manners! Let the demon kings of the four seas and ten thousand mountains laugh at us." The boy was really the son of the Bull Demon King. He stepped forward, pulled the Bull Demon King and whispered.

The Bull Demon King then spoke: "That's right, that's right!" He took his family and maids and followed Zhou Qing onto the stone bridge.

"This little demon is quite courageous. He is not an ordinary person."

Zhou Qing was surprised. He had also heard of the son of Bull Demon King, Red Boy, who did not associate with his father and became the king of his own mountain. He did not know how they got together today. Even though Zhou Qing had great magical powers, he could not figure it out. However, the other party had entered the mountain gate and could not play any tricks under his bronze bell. He had to counter the other party's moves and see who came from first before making plans. As for the other party's explanation of the grudge, Zhou Qing did not believe a word.

"Holy Mother, this way please!"

Wen Lan, a novice, held the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and led the way. This stone bridge was the biggest landscape of Black Wind Mountain, towering over the Poison Dragon Pond, a thousand miles long and ten miles wide. It was reinforced by Zhou Qing's magical powers. The Poison Dragon Pond was huge, like an ocean or lake, and this bridge was like a long rainbow, arched high, with the highest point level with the Immortal Palace on the top of the mountain. You could overlook the entire Black Wind Mountain with a radius of ten thousand miles. Below, lotus flowers were blooming, golden carps were jumping, and giant turtles were floating up to breathe. It was a lively scene. Zhou Qing's design was in line with the way of heaven and earth, and he had mastered the key to the way of formation. The seven beauties were obviously not ordinary people, and they all nodded secretly.

On the other hand, when the Holy Mother Wu Dang saw the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in Wen Lanxin's hand, her eyes became cold and sharp. As she swallowed and exhaled, she actually shot out and condensed into a substance about three inches long. It was very strange. The temperature of the entire cave seemed to have suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees. The murderous intent was pervasive, and the originally warm Poison Dragon Pond actually condensed into a thin layer of floating ice.

Wen Lanxin was suddenly startled, and her teeth chattered. Even though she had achieved the status of an immortal, she still couldn't stand the gaze of the Holy Mother Wu Dang. She felt bad, and instinctively urged the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree. The colorful light flashed, and the colorful lotus flowers surrounded it, which actually blocked the gaze of the Holy Mother Wu Dang.

The Holy Mother Wu Dang smiled, and the entire Black Wind Mountain returned to its original appearance. The floating ice in the pond disappeared without a trace, and the fish were not startled, and the shrimps did not jump, as if nothing had happened just now, and it was all an illusion.

Zhou Qing smiled and did not intervene. He came forward and asked Wen Lanxin to step back. He led the way himself. There was no trouble along the way and he went straight to the Jade Pillar Immortal Palace.

He asked Little Fox and Zhou Chen to take the maids and servants away and find another side hall for the reception. Zhou Qing, Wen Lanxin, and Liao Xiaojin sat in the main seats, while Wu Dang, the seven beauties, and the Bull Demon King's family sat in the second seats. Then a girl served them fragrant tea one by one.

"I am in this desolate mountain and wilderness, and I have nothing to entertain you Taoist friends. Please forgive me for my negligence."

After a few polite words, the two sides introduced themselves to each other.

"These seven girls are my disciples. They currently live in Pansi Cave, Jiuquan Mountain, Xiniu Hezhou. They are called Feng Ling'er, Feng Hui'er, Feng Zhu'er, Feng Lan'er, Feng Zhen'er, Feng Yan'er, and Feng Rong'er from young to old. This one is the Great Sage Pingtian. I heard that he met the Emperor once."

The seven beauties came up to see Zhou Qing one by one. Zhou Qing kept on being polite and didn't return the greeting. According to the status of Laozi Gou Chen Emperor, Zhou Qing and Wu Dang Shengmu were of the same generation, so of course there was no need to be polite.

"This is my wife, Luosha, and this is my son, called Red Boy!" The Bull Demon King said.

"So it's Fairy Luosha! I bow to you."

"I dare not, I dare not, how can I be worthy of the Emperor's etiquette, Red Boy, I haven't seen the Emperor yet!" Seeing Zhou Qing bowing, Luosha hurriedly returned the greeting, saying that she dared not.

Red Boy also knew the etiquette and came down to see Zhou Qing, and Zhou Qing accepted it in the same way.

After the polite words, the Holy Mother Wu Dang got back to the point: "There are some frictions between my disciples and the disciples of the Emperor, but that's fine. The Shiji disciples under my seat did not obey the orders in the human world and killed innocent people. They were punished by the Emperor. It was also a calamity that they could not escape. This calamity should have happened, and I will not mention it again."

Zhou Qing's heart tightened. His affairs in the human world were indeed no match for some great supernatural powers. The human world was just a small playground for these people to play with when they were bored.

Zhou Qing was very thick-skinned and not embarrassed, but smiled and said: "Then what is the Holy Mother here for?"

"The Emperor received the talisman of the Original Heavenly Venerable and ruled the position of Gou Chen. He should have his own foundation. The mountain where I look at is a little small, not enough for the Emperor to dominate the three realms. I will ask my disciples to withdraw from Shepan Mountain and give the two realms to the Emperor." The Holy Mother Wu Dang smiled.

"Sugar-coated bullet, what's the secret?" Zhou Qing was puzzled when he saw that Wu Dang Holy Mother was so generous. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Wu Dang Holy Mother.

"Emperor, please don't postpone it. This is my intention. It's just that Ping Tian Da Sheng and the Emperor are still entangled. I came here to explain it all together, so that my Taoist sect can prosper."

Wu Dang Holy Mother changed the topic and mentioned the Bull Demon King.

"Oh, then I am also grateful to the Holy Mother. Disciple, take the banana fan from your junior sister." Zhou Qing knew what he meant and called Liao Xiao in.

After a while, Liao Xiao came in with the banana fan, followed by three people, two men and one woman. The man was the Holy Wisdom Wolf, and the woman was the two caught at the bottom of the North Sea in the human world. Zhou Qing did not make things difficult for them and kept them in the Immortal Fu.

Seeing Wu Dang Holy Mother, the Holy Wisdom Wolf and the two women quickly lay on the ground.

"Since the grudge has been explained, Holy Mother's disciple, I will return it. This banana fan is the magic weapon of Pingtian Great Sage, and I will return it together."

Zhou Qing smiled. The other party came with a smile, and he was given sweet dates first. Zhou Qing certainly understood.

"You evil beast, how could you hurt a living being? Your crime is unforgivable. I can hardly forgive you today." The Holy Mother Wu Dang scolded the Holy Wise Wolf.

The Holy Wise Wolf felt extremely wronged. He was caught as soon as he came to the human world. How could he hurt any living being? It was his brother who hurt people. However, he did not have time to reply, but just kowtowed.

"Gou Chen Emperor is so merciful that he spared your life. Why don't you show your true form and go out to help me watch the car." The Holy Mother Wu Dang shouted.

The Holy Wise Wolf had no choice but to show his true form. Zhou Qing waved his hand, untied the mother-child golden talisman, and called the boy to take the three demons out.

Who knew that the Holy Wise Wolf was also short of luck. Although he escaped the disaster, he still couldn't achieve the right result. He had to go to the Conferred God Platform. This is a story for later, so I won't mention it anymore.

"Disciple, return the banana fan to the Great Sage Ping Tian!"

Liao Xiaojin held the banana fan over, but the Bull Demon King didn't take it, but just smiled.

"Why is this? Does the Great Sage Pingtian have something else to do?" Zhou Qing's face was slightly cold, and a dark aura was faintly escaping from behind him.

"Brother Dao, don't get excited. Since the battle with you at Jilei Mountain, I have admired your methods very much. I also heard that you won the bet with the laughing Maitreya, and I admire you even more. My Red Boy has been good at martial arts since he was a child, and he has some talent. I am not very knowledgeable and my martial arts are not strong. I can't teach my son, lest he ruin his future. My wife often blames me. I also want to help my son find a master, but my foundation has been destroyed and I want to take revenge. I don't have time, so I've been delayed."

"Brother Dao has profound magical powers and is a master. I want to take my son under my tutelage. I wonder if you can give me some pointers. This banana fan is the thank-you gift for me and my wife."

The Bull Demon King stood up, looked at the Rakshasa woman, and then spoke and bowed to Zhou Qing.

"What?" When the Bull Demon King said this, Liao Xiaojin and Wen Lanxin were both shocked. The Holy Mother Wu Dang and the Seven Beauties of Pansi Cave all nodded and smiled, and were not surprised. It was obvious that they had discussed it in advance.

"You want to worship me as your master?" Zhou Qing's face was uncertain. He had never thought of this. He thought that the Bull Demon King was going to cause trouble, but he didn't know that this would be the result.

However, Zhou Qing was not an ordinary person after all. It was not an exaggeration to describe him as a cunning old man. He was shocked at first, and then calmed down, calculating the pros and cons, and pictures appeared in his mind.

Seeing that Zhou Qing was silent, and the Bull Demon King and others did not speak, Liao Xiaojin and Wen Lanxin naturally did not dare to speak. Only Red Boy turned his eyes for a long time, secretly peeking at Zhou Qing, and I don't know what he was thinking.

After a while, Zhou Qing made up his mind, suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Red Boy and said: "You are practicing the Five Flavors Divine Fire, which is also rare!"

Before the words fell, there was a sudden change!

The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in Wen Lanxin's hand suddenly shone brightly for no reason, and turned into countless colorful lotus flowers the size of a bowl. It flew out of his hand, spinning straight, and flew out of the Immortal Palace.

"Master?!" Wen Lanxin's hand lightened, and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree that his soul had sacrificed flew out. The soul connection between him and the magic weapon suddenly disappeared. He was shocked and hurriedly called Zhou Qing. When he looked up, Zhou Qing had already left the Immortal Palace. Wu Dang Shengmu and others were also confused and left the Immortal Palace as well.

Zhou Qing stood on the square in front of the Immortal Palace. Several colorful lotus flowers embraced the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and rushed straight into the sky. The countless restrictions set by Zhou Qing seemed to be unaware of it, treating the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree as air.

The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree spun, passed through the yellow light transformed by the bronze bell, and went out of the Thirty-three Heavens.

"Master..." Wen Lanxin came up to speak, Zhou Qing waved his hand, and suddenly, a yellow light rushed out from the fairy palace, and it was embraced by the golden lotus, and like the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, it went up to the sky and also went beyond the thirty-three heavens.

Zhou Qing saw clearly that the yellow light was the apricot yellow flag.

Zhou Qing was silent when these two things happened suddenly. Wu Dang Holy Mother understood a little, but Niu Mo Wang didn't know what to say. Red Boy looked at Zhou Qing's silence and just sneered secretly.

"Fellow Taoists, please come in, we will continue to discuss."

Zhou Qing said, and went into the fairy palace by himself. Liao Xiaojin and Wen Lanxin had to invite Niu Mo Wang and Wu Dang Holy Mother to come in.

After both parties sat down, Zhou Qing suddenly laughed, and laughed so hard that he leaned forward and backward, and even bent down. Everyone was really puzzled.

"Why is the emperor laughing?" Wu Dang Holy Mother asked curiously.

"Disciple, bring me the brush and ink!" Zhou Qing did not answer, but said to Wen Lanxin.

Wen Lanxin went and brought out the brush and ink. Zhou Qing licked the thick ink, threw the brush, and ran like a dragon and snake. Two huge seal characters appeared on the golden pillars on both sides.

Red Boy was curious and stepped forward to read: "Moral Bodhi is not a positive fruit. Today I know that I am me!"
