Nantianmen.

After Zhou Ming jumped through space several times, he came to this vast heavenly gate.

Compared with the West Tianmen, the Nantian Gate seems to be thicker and wider, and there are also more formations appearing on the surface.

In addition, the number of heavenly soldiers and generals patrolling the surrounding areas is more than ten times that of the West Tianmen.

Moreover, the general in charge of the West Tianmen has a completely ordinary face. I guess you can't find his name even if you look through the mythological classics.

The guarding heavenly generals here at Nantianmen are the famous Four Heavenly Kings.

And these four heavenly kings are not all.

In fact, Li Jing, the King of Pagoda, Nezha, the great god of the Santanhaihui, Wang Lingguan, the first Taoist protector, Marshal Ma Zhaowenguan, and even Jiang Ziya, have all appeared as guards of Nantianmen.

Of course, the above various appearances all come from various different mythological stories.

But in any case, this shows the importance of Nantianmen.

Judging from what Zhou Ming saw with his own eyes, there were four heavenly kings and thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals guarding near Nantian Gate at this moment.

Around Nantianmen, Zhou Ming also saw a gathering and extremely terrifying aura of military evil.

That was the aura of military evil created by countless heavenly soldiers and generals setting up camp not far behind the Nantian Gate.

If Zhou Ming's prediction is correct, the number of heavenly soldiers and generals stationed there should be one hundred thousand.

After all, in various stories, there are often one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, so in heaven, one hundred thousand should be an overall number.

If one hundred thousand people are not stationed here at Nantianmen, it would really be a shame for this gate.

Here, Zhou Ming suddenly remembered the three monsters who were in trouble at Shituoling in Journey to the West. Among them, the eldest green-haired lion monster once said that he revealed his Dharma body outside the Nantian Gate and swallowed a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers with one big mouth.

Although it was later proven that these were all bragging, in fact he just blocked the Nantian Gate and frightened the heavenly soldiers and generals into closing the gate and not daring to fight.

But from this incident, it can be seen that the stationing of one hundred thousand heavenly troops at Nantianmen should be a common practice known to the world.

Otherwise, if he brags that he swallowed a million heavenly soldiers in Nantianmen in one go, others will immediately say that there are only 100,000 troops stationed in Nantianmen, how can you swallow a million? It must be bragging!

But these heavenly soldiers would not know how they would feel if they heard this rumor.

Judging from this configuration, Heavenly Court values ​​Nantianmen far more than other Heavenly Gates.

If you want to change your appearance like Xitianmen and just pass through Tianmen smoothly, I'm afraid it's impossible.

Moreover, according to the information Zhou Ming had gathered before, anyone who wants to enter or exit Nantianmen needs the permission of the Jade Emperor.

Change your appearance and say to the four heavenly kings, I have received the Jade Emperor's decree and need to go down to the mortal world?

Let’s not talk about whether it is possible or not, let’s just say that the four heavenly kings are directly under the management of the Jade Emperor. When someone changes hands, they contact the Jade Emperor and ask if this has happened.

Or... become the Jade Emperor?

No, wouldn’t that offend Heaven?

Depend on!

In Journey to the West, why is it so clear that Sun Wukong enters and exits the Nantianmen?

No, this world is completely different from the world view of Journey to the West. Different worlds have different situations, but it is normal.

Zhou Ming was constantly thinking of ways in his mind, but before he could come up with any idea, he suddenly noticed that there were two or three more causal lines on the many heavenly soldiers and generals of Nantianmen.

When he took a closer look, Zhou Ming was immediately startled.

These two or three lines of cause and effect are actually directly connected to Tathagata Buddha, Manjusri Bodhisattva, and Aniruddha.

In other words, Tathagata Buddha actually ran out and directly chased me!

What kind of hatred or resentment? Isn’t it just that you have touched the treasure of your religion? Are you so serious?

Um?

Wait...can this method work?

Tathagata Buddha indeed took action himself.

But he did not catch up with Zhou Ming. Even though he was stronger than Zhou Ming, he was also very good at space escape.

But there is no way, this is heaven.

Tathagata Buddha can instantly come to the two Manjushri Bodhisattva from the Great Leiyin Temple, and can also instantly bring the two Manjushri Bodhisattva to the gate of the West Heaven Gate.

But within the scope of the heaven, his powerful space escape method cannot be used at will.

There are four major forces in the heaven, Taoism, Buddhism, Sanxiu, and Heaven. These four major forces all use Heaven as the center and constantly compete.

So I don’t know how many secrets are hidden in this heavenly place.

Even if one has the power to see all three realms and six realms in an instant, it can never be used in heaven.

Similarly, even if the Buddha possesses the magical power of space to reach Nantian Gate instantly, he cannot use it in the Heavenly Court.

In fact, that's because he is Tathagata Buddha and is very powerful, so once he uses his spatial magical power, the noise and attention he will bring will be huge.

In this case, he couldn't use it at will, which was a taboo.

As for why Zhou Ming can use it casually, it is because when the proof is used, the changes in the script have been maintained.

Even Analu, who has the best eyesight, can only see the changes around him at close range, let alone other people.

In addition, the flying body trace he uses is indeed very clever and ingenious. In addition, he is weak in strength, so when he uses it, the space fluctuation is very small.

If we say that Tathagata Buddha's space fluctuation is like a huge stone falling into a pond.

That Zhou Ming's space fluctuation was probably like a drop of rainwater dripping into the pond.

However, even without using the space escape method, just in terms of flight speed, the Tathagata Buddha is also terrifyingly fast. Carrying Manjushri and Anuruddha, he completely transformed into a golden light and passed through countless pavilions and pavilions in the middle, heading straight to the south.

Coming from the gate of heaven.

Suddenly, Tathagata Buddha frowned, his flight speed suddenly increased, and he arrived at the Nantian Gate in the blink of an eye.

But at this moment, a gap has been opened in the Nantian Gate. Many heavenly soldiers and generals feel that something is wrong, their eyes are shining brightly, and they are looking for problems everywhere.

However, there was a trace of cloud that evaded all traces and still appeared outside Nantianmen.

Tathagata Buddha did not hesitate and stretched out his hand to slap.

That palm force passed through the gap of Nantianmen and chased away.

At this time, the four heavenly kings and heavenly soldiers and generals noticed the arrival and movements of the Buddha.

"Buddha!"

The four heavenly kings saluted at the same time, and then the eldest brother Mo Liqing asked: "Why did the Buddha suddenly come to the Nantianmen? And why did he suddenly take action?"

Tathagata Buddha said: "I was chasing a big thief and saw him escaping from the Nantian Gate. I was anxious for a while, so I took action."

"Big thief?"

"Escape?"

The four heavenly kings were all shocked, and suddenly thought of the incident where the Nantian Gate opened a gap inexplicably just now.

At this moment, thousands of colorful lights shone in the sky, and an extremely noble figure wearing imperial robes came riding on the clouds.

It is the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor had just appeared, and before he could speak, a green light appeared, but it was a kind old man, none other than Taishang Laojun.

"When the Buddha comes to my heaven, why don't you inform him in advance so that you can welcome him?"

Buddha hurriedly said: "Thank you, Jade Emperor, I am in a hurry this time. Not long ago, there was a big thief..."

He briefly explained what had just happened.

The Jade Emperor then said casually: "Oh, then I will issue a sea arrest document and send people to capture the little thief."

"Thank you Jade Emperor for your help."

Tathagata Buddha said.

The Jade Emperor and Laojun then disappeared on their own.

It turns out that the two of them are just clones of condensed energy, and their true identities are naturally still where they are.

Tathagata Buddha immediately turned around and flew to the west with Manjusri and Analuddha, but his brows were slightly furrowed and he looked a little solemn.

"Buddha..."

Manjushri Bodhisattva called softly.

"Something feels wrong. Could it be that I made a miscalculation?" Tathagata said, "Why don't the Jade Emperor and Laojun care at all about my actions on the mortal world? They seem to have completely ignored them?"

He didn't understand.

If something like this is skipped at the time, it is basically impossible to mention it again later.

Tathagata Buddha did not use full speed at the beginning, just to give the little thief a chance.

When he thought about it, the little thief would definitely be able to get out of Nantianmen. But with the tight security of Nantianmen, the mastermind behind the scenes would have to use some means to get the little thief out of Nantianmen.

In this way, he can follow the traces and find the mastermind behind it.
