After the Arhat Who Subdued the Dragon left, Breaking Bad just opened the door and walked in.
"Who is that monk??" Breaking Bad saw the thoughtful look on Fang Yi's face and asked again: "What important matter does he come to you for?"
"Arhat Who Subdued the Dragon." Fang Yi saw that he was the Breaking Bad Master, so he didn't hide anything. He just told the Breaking Bad Master what had just happened.
This Breaking Bad Master is the person Fang Yi trusts the most now, no one else.
After Breaking Bad escaped from the prison, he didn't go anywhere else at all. He came directly to Xiaoyao Sect, and when he learned that Fang Yi was dead, he still didn't react at all. He continued to choose to stay in Xiaoyao Sect.
It’s a testament to the camaraderie of Breaking Bad .
Therefore, in the entire Xiaoyao Sect, only Breaking Bad knew the news that Fang Yi was not dead.
The few confidants who knew that Fang Yi was not dead before, but with the blessing of Fang Yi's hidden skills, they gradually forgot about this matter.
Only Fang Yi did not use his hidden skills on Breaking Bad.
"Venerable Dragon-Subduing Arhat??" Breaking Bad said in surprise, "This is a master of the Buddhist Arhat level. Under the Buddha's seat, there are five great Bodhisattvas and eighteen Arhats. He is the top level of Buddhism."
"At the level of Venerable Arhat, headed by Arhat Subduing the Dragon, he is a well-deserved figure among the top figures in Buddhism. How come he has time to come to us?"
"And you haven't stated the purpose of coming here yet??" Breaking Bad was a little surprised at this time. It is really hard to imagine the purpose of such a powerful master from Buddhism coming here.
"I don't know." Fang Yi really couldn't guess the purpose of Subduing Dragon Arhat coming to him at this time.
And if Fang Yi felt right, this Dragon-Subduing Arhat was coming for him.
From his eyes and what he said about coming to see Fang Yi in a few days, it can be seen that this person is definitely coming to see him.
But this raises an unanswerable question. What did he come to Fang Yi for? ?
That's it, don't think about it anymore. The soldiers will stop you, and the water will cover you up. The most urgent thing is to improve your cultivation as soon as possible.
…
At the same time, Dragon Subduing Arhat was rushing towards Taiyuan City very quickly.
Manjushri Bodhisattva took the golden lotus seeds to the Northland. Because there were still troops stationed in the Northland, the two separated and acted separately, and then agreed to continue gathering in Taiyuan City to share information with each other.
"As expected, Manjushri Bodhisattva, that Lu Jiu, is the future Buddha we are looking for." Dragon Subduing Arhat spoke impatiently at this time.
"Huh??" Manjushri Bodhisattva felt a little disappointed at this time. At the same time, he was also extremely surprised and felt that everything was expected.
It was expected because Manjushri Bodhisattva went to the north to garrison and found that no one was the future Buddha. He basically guessed that General Lu Jiu was the future Buddha they were looking for.
Because it was Lu Jiu who probably caused the golden lotus seed to react before, but Manjushri Bodhisattva did not notice it at the time.
He felt disappointed because he was actually the one who discovered it first, but this credit was not credited to him.
At this time, the Subduing Dragon Arhat had not recovered from his excitement, and when he opened his mouth, he told Manjushri Bodhisattva everything that had happened before.
"Manjusri Bodhisattva, I feel that just in case, we still need to ask the Buddha to verify it." Dragon Subduing Arhat said at this time.
Manjushri Bodhisattva immediately understood the meaning of the Dragon Subduing Arhat. Since the two of them were basically certain that Lu Jiu was the candidate for the future Buddha, this was not certified by the Buddha.
All it takes for the Buddha to come and feel it is to determine the identity of the future Buddha.
Manjushri Bodhisattva nodded.
The two of them took out all the golden lotus seeds, and then they both sang the Buddha's name together, and then injected a burst of power into the golden lotus seeds.
"Respectfully invite the Buddha to come." The two of them said in unison at this time.
Not long after, a powerful pressure and extremely terrifying power erupted from the golden lotus seed. A moment later, an old voice sounded.
"Why are you two calling me?" came the Buddha's voice.
The Arhat Who Subdued the Dragon did not hesitate, took a step forward, and told the Buddha the whole story.
"Let me take a look." There was a hint of joy in the Buddha's tone.
As he spoke, the golden lotus seeds began to emit a faint light, and the two lotus seeds emitted such light at the same time, complementing each other.
At this time, the Buddha said with surprise and joy: "Thank you two venerables. That's right, the true face of the future Buddha will be revealed."
The Buddha laughed loudly, and then the sound disappeared.
The Dragon Subduing Arhat and Manjusri Bodhisattva looked at each other, with joy in their eyes.
This may be the best news for them.
They have been searching for traces of the Future Buddha for such a long time, and now finally, the Future Buddha shows his true face.
In the era of great strife, Buddha is about to run out of oil and lamps, and the war between Dali, the Gu tribe, and the barbarians will inevitably affect Buddhism.
The Buddha is unable to support himself alone and needs another Buddha to save them and save all sentient beings.
To save all sentient beings is the destiny and duty of Buddhism.
…
Less than a few days later, Breaking Bad came again this time, and when he spoke, he said the same thing.
"The Dragon-Subduing Arhat is here again, but this time, he doesn't come alone. There is another person following him, who is said to be Manjusri Bodhisattva." Breaking Bad Master said.
"This is strange. Buddhist Bodhisattva-level masters and golden-bodied Arhats would not show up at all. Moreover, Buddhist disciples are very disciplined. They have been active in the Buddhist lands of the Western Regions and rarely come to Dali. , even if he comes, he will first visit the Dali court."
"This time, two top experts were dispatched, and they came to visit you alone. It's a bit strange and completely unheard of." I don't know how rich the Breaking Bad experience is. He is well-informed and naturally knows it very well.
This has never happened before.
So at this time, he also wanted to ask Fang Yi's opinion first to see if Fang Yi saw them or not. If he didn't see them, then he would directly come forward and tell them, just say that Fang Yi was in retreat. You can't see them, just one sentence and that's it.
Fang Yi pondered for a moment, and then said: "Let them come in."
Fang Yi thought about this matter carefully. No matter what, this hurdle seems to be unavoidable. From the last time when Arhat Subdued the Dragon came, Fang Yi knew that they must have some purpose in coming to him. But as for what the purpose is, Fang Yi is not clear about this.
This time, it was just right to ask them what their purpose was in coming to Fang Yi.
"General Lu Jiu, I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much." As soon as he came in, Dragon Subduing Arhat said in a very affectionate manner, completely unaware that Fang Yi's face had turned ugly at this time.
Don't be like this, I'm afraid...
"Honorable Sir, Manjushri Bodhisattva." Fang Yi nodded slightly at this time, indicating that he had seen the etiquette.
The Dragon Subduing Arhat and Manjushri Bodhisattva exchanged glances with each other, and then Manjushri Bodhisattva spoke.
"General Lu Jiu, we are here this time to tell General Lu Jiu something."
"Here we come." Fang Yi thought to himself. It seems that they came with a purpose this time. Now they don't want to talk about their purpose of coming.
"Your Majesty, please clarify." Fang Yi said calmly.
"It's like this. General Lu Jiu must have heard about it before. The Dali imperial court sent envoys and national advisors to Buddhism, hoping to form an alliance with Buddhism to fight against the barbarians and Gu tribe." Manjushri Bodhisattva spoke as soon as he spoke. focus.
Fang Yi naturally knew that this matter had been involved for a long time.
What, why are they here today for this matter? ?
"Of course, the Buddha had other considerations at the time, but he did not reach an agreement with the Dali court." Manjushri Bodhisattva continued.
"But this time, the Buddha's intention has changed." Manjushri Bodhisattva said at this time.
"Buddha sent two of us to Dali to observe the situation in Dali. I have been in the north all the time and watched General Lu Jiu's exquisite troop formations. It actually gave Dali, who was already dying, a mouthful of blood. ." Manjusri Bodhisattva continued: "Venerable Dragon Subduing Arhat went to various places in Dali to check the situation in Dali. Now it seems that there is still hope in Dali."
"Well, so what does Buddha mean? Do you want to agree to form an alliance with Dali??" Fang Yi asked back at this time, but he was even more suspicious of the purpose of their coming.
If he wants to form an alliance with Dali, that is a matter between Buddhism and the Dali court. What does it have to do with him? ?
He is not the emperor of Dali, so this matter has nothing to do with him.
"Hahaha." Manjushri Bodhisattva smiled at this time, but then spoke: "General Lu Jiu is half right. We do want to form an alliance with Dali, but it is not an alliance with the Dali court. We want to Form an alliance with General Lu Jiu."
What Manjushri Bodhisattva suddenly said made Fang Yi stunned for a moment.
He guessed the beginning of the story, but not the end.
He never expected that the story would end with this.
It's very strange that they, Buddhism, want to come to form an alliance with us.
"General Lu Jiu may have doubts about this?" Manjushri Bodhisattva seemed to have noticed Fang Yi's doubts and explained: "To be honest, the Buddha's end is approaching, the oil and lamps have dried up, and his death is a matter of time. .”
"But if Buddhism does not have the care of the Buddha, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents in the future."
Lord Jianglong also added at this time, saying: "Before, in addition to the fact that the Dali imperial court came to find the Buddha, King Gu and King Man also sent people to find the Buddha..."
"We came on this trip not only to survey the situation in Dali, but also to undertake the task of finding allies." Manjushri Bodhisattva continued.
"We have taken a fancy to General Lu Jiu's ability!" Manjushri Bodhisattva finally stated the purpose of this trip.
