Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2186
[Chapter 699 The truth]
“Is it you in the third level?” Zu An looked solemn. This colossus was too mysterious. He hadn’t even seen his whole face. He really felt like he was drawing his sword and looking around at a loss.
“Don’t be nervous. You only need to answer a few questions from me for this level.” The colossus seemed to chuckle.
“If I don’t answer correctly, can you let me pass the trial?” Zu An asked.
The colossus took a breath and said, “Of course not. When I set up this trial, I focused on fairness and justice.”
“That’s fine. If I can’t win the trial, I’m destined to die. How can I not be nervous?” An was angry.
“Since you know this, you still come to participate in this trial, which proves that you are a brave and wise person, so I am optimistic that you can pass the trial.” Colossus said.
“Instead of these words of encouragement, you might as well give me a little more substantial help. Aren’t we friends?” Zu An muttered.
“How do you know that I didn’t give you substantial help?” The colossus suddenly asked.
Zu An was startled, thinking, when has he actually helped me?
He knew that there was no need to lie for such a being. Could it be the reminder from the Wangchuan River before?
Several thoughts suddenly arose in Zu An’s mind. He did not ask questions out loud, but calmed down: “Then let’s get started.”
“Okay,” the voice of the colossus filled the world, “Actually, the questions at this level are different from The first two levels are closely related. ”
“After experiencing the first two levels, what do you think is the truth behind the “Death of the Dragon King of Jinghe”?” Colossus’ voice paused and then added, “You must. Think about it before you answer.”
Zu An was thinking a lot. In fact, he had been thinking about this issue along the way. First, he experienced it from the perspective of the Dragon King of Jinghe, and then from the perspective of Tang Taizong Li Shimin. After experiencing it again, a lot of seemingly complicated information finally had a hidden thread running through it. He replied solemnly: “The reason why the Jinghe Dragon King died was because he was involved in the Western Heaven Sect’s plan to cross eastward. Buddhism had scriptures that they wanted to spread to the Eastern Tang Dynasty. The Bodhisattvas volunteered to find the scripture collectors, but they couldn’t leave. Unexpectedly , Yuan Shoucheng or the people around him are probably the incarnations of Bodhisattva, that’s why he is so magical . Predict the secret.” ”The Dragon King of Jinghe is so stupid that he doesn’t know anything. The military advisor and Yaksha around him may be Buddhists, and even his daughter-in-law was rescued in advance and placed next to Li Shimin.” ”He violated the imperial edict and violated the law . After Tian Tiao passed, he still wanted to ask for help from that Yuan Shoucheng. He was really sold out and was still counting money for him.” ”Then he was beheaded and went to the underworld to complain. The underworld king arrested Li Shimin’s soul to confront him, so that Buddhism could. Along the way, he arranged for the ghosts of various sworn enemies in his life to claim their lives, such as Li Jiancheng, Yuan Ji, and the eighteenth rebel king in the city who died in vain; and the miserable and terrifying scenes in hell frightened Li Shimin and made him realize that reincarnation is the end of the world. He said that at the same time, he would seek help from the Dharma of Buddhism to save the souls of the dead and wash away their sins so that they would not be entangled in hell after death. Then it would be logical for Monk Tang to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.” Zu An suddenly frowned as he spoke. It seems that some key information is missing, but if you think about it carefully, you can’t figure out what it is. ”What do you mean, is it Buddhism who arranged all this behind the scenes?” the voice of the giant statue sounded. Zu An was about to answer yes, but suddenly he was stunned. He finally realized that something was wrong. In the Netherworld Underworld, why both Judge Cui and the Tenth Palace King of Hell treated Li Shimin very politely, at first thought it was because of the protection of the Human Emperor’s fate. But after passing through the gate of hell, I also saw Li Yuan. Wasn’t he also a human emperor at the beginning? After his death, he was scolded and taken away by a random kid sent by Judge Cui. How could he be treated like a human emperor at all? Then there must be something different from Li Shimin to cause such a difference. Li Shimin’s ability is indeed much stronger than that of Li Yuan, but is this difference in ability between ordinary mortals really important to the ghosts and gods in the underworld? It was probably because they needed Li Shimin’s help for something, and Li Yuan was unable to provide the same help. From this point of view, Li Shimin is the current emperor and can influence the national policy of the Tang Dynasty, which is to provide the greatest convenience for Buddhism to travel eastward and countless believers. Then the question arises, these guys from Netherworld are obviously subordinates of Heaven, why would they cooperate with Buddhism to cross eastward to their own territory? This is unreasonable! You must know that the heavenly system at that time was dominated by Taoism. How could it be possible to cooperate with Buddhism to encroach on its own territory? Wei Zheng is also a little strange. The voice of the colossus just said that he was selected as a judge because he had learned magic since he was a child. Moreover, he could kill the Dragon King in his dreams. Obviously, he did have magical powers. But when he was invaded by the ghost of the Jinghe Dragon King, , why did he say that he had not yet fulfilled his duties and could not use his magical powers? With his ability as a judge in the underworld, could he really not notice that the dragon girl was pretending to be a ghost from the beginning to the end? Why did he lie to Li Shimin? It’s not like it’s revenge for the old master Li Jiancheng, right? Thinking of Li Jiancheng being scolded by a kid, he immediately ruled out this possibility. Then there is only one possibility left. He and Dragon Girl are together? Thinking of this, Zu An was shocked. Has Buddhism penetrated Heaven to this extent? But if they are so awesome, why do they bother to set up such a game? For a moment, Zu An felt that his mind was very confused. Sometimes he thought it was this possibility, and sometimes he thought it was another possibility. However, there were some aspects of each possibility that could not be justified. Wait, why did Yuan Shoucheng know the Jade Emperor’s will in advance, just the timing of rainfall, maybe he can predict it through other magical powers, but even the points are exactly the same. I used to think that the Bodhisattva had great supernatural powers and that the higher-ups in Heaven had internal responses, but now I think about it, it was an imperial edict issued by the Emperor of Heaven. How could the higher-ups even know this? And he was willing to risk the world’s disapproval and participate in Buddhism’s plan to cross eastward? Zu An was a little irritated and realized that he should have ignored some important information. He closed his eyes and began to play every detail of the two levels in his mind. Now that he has recovered his cultivation, Qian #Please do not use the incognito mode every time verification appears! The big soul can already support the overclocking operation of his brain. First there was Jinghe Water Mansion, then Chang’an City, then the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty, the Underworld… and so on, a portrait in the palace came to mind. Zu An suddenly opened his eyes, and he knew that he had overlooked something! Li Shimin was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was surnamed Li, and he worshiped Laozi Li Er as his ancestor. That was one of the Three Pure Ones, the leader of the Taoist sect, Taishang Laojun! Taoism was the state religion of the Tang Dynasty!
No wonder those people in Buddhism are so careful in their layout, no wonder the judges of Hell in the underworld behave so strangely, no wonder in heaven…
no wonder the Colossus said it had helped him before!
At this time, the voice of the colossus sounded: “Have you thought about the answer?”
Zu An nodded, and then slowly said: “It is true that Buddhism is mainly responsible for all this, but they are actually just chess pieces.”
” Oh? Then who is the chess player?” There seemed to be a hint of smile in Colossus’ voice.
Zu An hesitated: “I know that there are some powerful beings. Once I mention their names, it will easily attract their gaze and bring unknown destructive power.”
“You don’t have to worry about this. In this world, I It can temporarily help shield everything from prying eyes from outside forces.” The voice of the colossus came.
Only then did Zu An feel relieved: “The chess player behind this is the Emperor of Heaven. He joined forces with Buddhism to direct all of this.”
“Oh, why do you have such an idea? Isn’t the Heavenly Court dominated by Taoism? Why does he As the Emperor of Heaven, will he be with Buddhism?” asked the giant statue.
“Just because the Taoist sect is the mainstay in the Heavenly Court, the Emperor does not want one family to dominate, lest the Heavenly Court only respects the Taoist ancestors and does not know the Emperor, so Buddhism is introduced to check and balance the Taoist sect.” Zu An finally sorted out all the clues.
Why could Yuan Shoucheng know the Emperor’s decree in advance?
Even though Buddhist Bodhisattvas have great supernatural powers, it is impossible for them to know even this level of will.
Then there is only one reason, and that is what the Emperor of Heaven told the Bodhisattva!
