Not to mention the surprise that the Westward Journey team brought to Di Xin, similarly, when the list was sent to Tathagata by Shen Gongbao in Western Lingshan, Tathagata was also completely dumbfounded!
"Minister Shin,"
Holding the list, Tathagata suppressed his anger, looked at Heavenly Court's Minister of Foreign Affairs Shen Gongbao, and said in a very unkind tone: "Is this the candidate decided by Heavenly Court?"
"Yes, do you have any objections?"
Shen Gongbao faced the Tathagata without fear... The heaven now is not the heaven that traveled to the west in the original history! Shen Gongbao is very confident!
"I do have an opinion." The home field was in Lingshan, and there were many Buddhist disciples watching. Tathagata could not weaken his momentum, and said directly to his face: "I and the Emperor of Heaven have already discussed it in the underworld. This time the westbound team needs to be in Only after measuring the calamity can you return!"
"Yes, our Heavenly Court also supports Buddhism."
Shen Gongbao nodded, showing no signs of surprise: "After the journey to the west begins, Dapeng, Huahua, and Sun Bin will temporarily join the West and become the main force against the devil in the calamity! Don't worry, I, Heavenly Court, have said the same, and His Majesty promises that we will never go back on our word! "
"At that time, the entire Heavenly Court will not issue any instructions to the Westbound team! It will never interfere with your fight against the devil!"
Shen Gongbao spoke righteously and looked at Tathagata's gaze without evasion.
"But Dapeng, Sun Bin, and even Huahua from the underworld are..."
Halfway through his words, Tathagata couldn't continue... He originally wanted to say that he planned to absorb the members of the westbound team sent by Heaven to Buddhism. But such a thing can only be done secretly. How can you, how dare you say it out loud?
Unfortunately, who is behind Shen Gongbao? But there are many heavenly intelligence teams such as Jia Yue, Bai Ze, and Taibai who can see through people's hearts and are proficient in planning! Before coming, I had already informed Shen Gongbao of all the speculations about Buddhism!
"Tathagata, World Honored One, these three people are the best candidates for the journey to the West, as determined by the Heavenly Court after discussion. Are you sure that Buddhism is not satisfied?"
Shen Gongbao narrowed his eyes and asked again.
The corner of Tathagata's mouth twitched, which is equivalent to Shen Gongbao telling you openly that the Heavenly Court has already known about your little Buddhist thoughts, so don't try to do anything like this! If you object again, you will lose even what you promised before, and your fundamentals will be overthrown!
Still want to make trouble in heaven and invade the underworld? Heaven does not allow it, are you joking?
Thinking of the great prosperity of Buddhism, but after the calamity, the three team members returned to the Eastern Heaven to make wedding clothes for others, Tathagata's heart felt painful...
But facing the power of heaven, Tathagata could only nod his head and accept the list!
"Heaven... indeed attaches great importance to this calamity. I, the Buddhist, thank you!"
Tathagata gritted his teeth and said to Shen Gongbao word by word... Seeing his unwillingness but still thanking him, Shen Gongbao thought of what Bai Ze said before he came: Believe me, Buddhism still has to thank you!
Sure enough, Buddhism, thank you very much!
"You are welcome."
Shen Gongbao showed a bright smile: "Everything is for the prehistoric times, for Buddhism, and to survive the catastrophe!"
"Since Buddhism already knows about it, I will go back first... Just in time, I will also find time to plan and let these three little guys go down to earth to experience..."
After saying that, Shen Gongbao turned around and walked towards the door of the Main Hall...
In the Mahavira Hall, the face of the World-Honored Tathagata was purple with anger, and the other Buddhist disciples were all so angry that their chests were tight, and they were staring at Shen Gongbao's back fiercely... Unexpectedly, when he just walked to the door, Shen Gongbao suddenly turned around and smiled. Looking at the Buddhas...
"Tathagata, Lord Tathagata, do you really have no objection to the westward-bound team sent by Heaven? After my head returns, he will report to the gods. If you are not satisfied, you can actually tell me and I will report to the gods in Heaven and deal with the personnel. Revise."
Modify your paralysis! Just now, talents like Dapeng and Sun Bin have been dispatched. If another complaint is made, Yang Jian, Nezha, and Kong Xuan will all be added to the westbound team!
At that time, will Buddhism spread eastward, or will Taoism travel westward? !
Thinking of the cruel consequences, Buddhism failed to prosper, and he could not take the opportunity to enlighten and break through the realm of Hunyuan... A basin of cold water seemed to be poured from the Tathagata's head, completely extinguishing his anger!
"Minister Shen is joking. It is an honor for my Buddhist sect that Heavenly Court can add these three generals to our westbound team!"
"As long as there is no objection."
Shen Gongbao nodded with satisfaction and walked away again...
Tathagata just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly saw Shen Gongbao turning around before stepping out of the gate: "You really have no objection?"
"No, absolutely not!" Tathagata shook his head repeatedly and replied: "Minister Shen, please give me your thanks. It's Buddhism. Thank you to Heaven for your strong support!"
Only then did Shen Gongbao take another step, leaving the Main Hall completely and drifting away...
However, when he was out of sight of the Buddhist disciples, he could still hear his conversations with his entourage Muzha from time to time...
"Minister Shen, why would the Lord be grateful to us?"
"Hmm... maybe he thinks our heaven is very good to Buddhism?"
"It seems that Buddhism really likes the team members we sent to the westward journey..."
"Of course, that's Buddhism! Ha!"
The last word 'ha' is particularly meaningful, like a lingering sound. Even after Shen Gongbao's back has gone for a long time, it is still echoing in Tathagata's ears...
"puff!"
Tathagata was so angry that he finally spurted out a mouthful of blood, staining the ground of the Main Hall red!
"World Honored One!"
The faces of all the Buddhist disciples changed greatly, and they hurriedly wanted to check the Tathagata's injury.
Tathagata stretched out his hand to stop the Buddhas...
"No need to worry, I'm just angry!"
"World Honored One!"
Guanyin looked at Tathagata worriedly: "I am afraid that Heavenly Court's reaction will not allow us to gain much merit in our journey to the West!"
"Yeah, I feel that way too!"
Tathagata wiped the blood from his mouth, his face slightly gloomy.
"Then what should we do now? Journeying to the west is the best chance for our Buddhism to flourish and survive the calamity!"
"No problem, just wait here and I'll report it to the teacher."
The Tathagata straightened up and signaled to the Buddhas not to panic: "The great prosperity of Buddhism is due to Heaven's personal support! No matter how powerful the power of Heaven is, how could even Heaven dare to refute it? Today's Heaven is not Hongjun!"
After saying this, Tathagata did not delay, stepped out, and came to the Western Paradise where Zhunti and Jingyin were!
"Tathagata, are you here again?"
Zhunti is somewhat used to seeing Tathagata's figure... You don't need to guess to know that Buddhism must have been defeated in front of the heaven again!
"Teacher, I don't want to come either...it's really a heavenly court, it's too much to bully people!"
The Tathagata said aggrievedly, and informed the two saints of the candidates chosen by the Heavenly Court for the journey to the West: "...I originally thought that the Heavenly Court could send three young heroes to participate in the journey to the West... But who knew, except for the horse Huahua, it was soy sauce , the others are all heavenly elites.”
"Dapeng is the younger brother of Kong Xuan and the third direct disciple of the Supreme Saint; Sun Bin is the young patriarch of the Qilin clan and the leader of the new generation of elites in heaven. He is on par with Huang Tianlu, Jin Zha and Muzha... these two people How can you join my Buddhist sect?"
"At that time, when the calamity is over and the three of them return to the Eastern Heaven, wouldn't this great prosperity of our Buddhist sect serve as wedding clothes for the Heaven?"
Zhunti and Jieyin both frowned. Originally, they thought that the Heavenly Court would be more restrained for the sake of measuring the calamity... After all, after the 1,500 years after the success of the attack on the Heaven, the Heavenly Court became much silent. He slandered his tribe and didn’t even open his mouth...
However, I never expected that when Liang Jie arrived, he would take action again! When he takes action, he targets Buddhism! Is it possible that they want to resist the calamity on their own?
"Teacher, how should Buddhists respond?"
Tathagata looked at the two saints and asked.
"What do you want?"
Zhunti did not answer directly and asked Tathagata instead.
The Tathagata took a deep breath and said, "My disciples believe that the great rise of Buddhism will take place within a certain calamity, and it is decreed by Heaven! The Heavenly Court has Yang and Yin, and it should be sued to Heaven for its decision!"
"Well... what you said makes sense. Please wait until my senior brother and I go to Zixiao Palace!"
Zhunti nodded and looked at each other with Jieyin... The two of them understood each other's intentions instantly... Even if they go there, the possibility of changing it is very small. But if the Heavenly Court can be restrained, it will be a big profit!
"But don't have too much hope... When we expelled Hongjun and Luohu, Heavenly Court was the main force. Given how much Heavenly Dao loved them, the most they could do was reprimand them and order them to restrain themselves! After all, whether Buddhism can prosper or not depends on Buddhism itself!"
"I understand." Tathagata nodded: "Just let Heavenly Court restrain itself!"
"good!"
The two Western Saints looked at each other, and the golden lotus beneath them moved and disappeared in an instant, heading towards chaos...
——
Zixiao Palace, after the Two Saints from the West arrived, the human form of Heavenly Dao practicing on the first seat of Zixiao Palace opened its eyes slightly!
"boom!"
With a roar, the gate of Zixiao Palace opened... The Second Sage of the West understood clearly, stepped into the familiar hall, pointed at the high platform, and bowed.
"Introduce (Zhunti) to meet the way of heaven!"
"Hmm... If you don't go to the small world to cultivate and understand the great road, go to Zixiao Palace. Do you have anything important to report?"
"There is indeed something important..."
Facing Tiandao's indifferent, flashing thunderous eyes, Zhunti swallowed, not daring to look at him... Compared to the previous Hongjun, Tiandao's power was too great, towering over the saint by a full two feet. The realm is indeed a bit scary!
(PS: Here I repeat the realm of cultivation in the prehistoric world.
Mortal realm levels: refining essence to transform into qi, refining qi to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, refining emptiness to combine with Tao, these four realms are the mortal realm.
Immortal Realm: Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Xuan Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, Quasi-Saint Realm (Half-step Hunyuan), Saint Realm (Hunyuan Daluo), Hedao Realm (Hunyuan) Wujiluo), Heavenly Dao Realm (Hongmeng Daluo Realm), Dao Realm (Hongmeng Wuji Realm), Dao Realm!
Hongjun, Luohu, Nuwa, and Pingxin were all in the realm of the Dao before they merged with the Dao. After they merged with the Dao, they were in the realm of the Heavenly Dao! A level higher than ordinary saints! )
Zhunti bit the bullet and reported the latest westbound personnel given by Heaven to Heaven.
"Heaven's grace, my Buddhist sect has prospered, and I have to bear the burden of calamity... The heavenly court assigns personnel, which is not in line with the purpose of Journey to the West..."
"etc!"
Tiandao frowned and interrupted Zhunti: "Who told you that calamities are measured for Buddhas and demons?"
"Why?!"
Jie Yin and Zhunti were all shocked, wasn't it, when you faced the great wilderness before, didn't you say that Buddhism should rise to a certain calamity? Now that the day of demonic invasion is approaching, what else can it be than a calamity measured by Buddhas and demons?
Seeing the weird looks in Jie Yin and Zhunti's eyes, Tian Dao didn't know. These two guys really thought that Buddhism was the main force against the devil!
Are you kidding? The three of them have no hope at all in the Buddhism founded by these two guys! Buddhism, from beginning to end, is used to attract the attention of the devil!
"During this calamity, the devil will invade on a large scale... Whether it is Buddhism, heaven, or the underworld, all races in the three realms are the main force to resist the devil! Buddhism is just one of them!"
"The reason for the great rise of Buddhism is, firstly, to reward the two of you for your work in sorting out the Western land lines; secondly, it is also because Buddhism is too weak, and I am afraid that the sect established by you two will become a loophole for the invasion of demons! It has nothing to do with the main force against the calamity. !”
"After the calamity begins, who will be the leader and who will be the deputy depends on the strength of the major forces..."
Speaking of this, Tiandao did not continue talking... Jieyin and Zhunti twitched the corners of their mouths. How could they still not understand Tiandao's unfinished words?
To put it bluntly, as for the way of heaven, it would be better to directly say that the power of Buddhism is too weak! If you want to be the main force against the calamity, there is still a long way to go! After all, the main force is still Heaven!
Only Heaven can become the leader in this fight against the devil!
"We... misunderstood."
Zhunti smiled bitterly and could only nod to express his knowledge.
Seeing that the two of them had already understood, Tiandao continued: "But one thing you guessed is right. The Westbound team is indeed the protagonist of this calamity! They will be the main force against the calamity!"
"The two of you are able to distribute merit among heaven and earth, and enhance the overall combat power of the ancient world. This is a very good job! You have a great perspective on the overall situation!"
"If we measure the calamity, Buddhism can perform better...the great prosperity can last for thousands more years!"
"Thank you God for the compliment!"
They were overjoyed to receive Yin and Zhunti... They didn't expect that although they couldn't get the answer they wanted this time, it would be a great benefit to be able to continue for ten thousand years!
Thousands of years of great prosperity... It has only been tens of thousands of years since the human race became the protagonist of the world! Look at it now, you can defeat the sky! If Buddhism can flourish for thousands more years, will there be any chance of replacing Heaven?
No, even if they can't be replaced, it's still satisfying to be on an equal footing, okay?
"Um."
Tiandao nodded and said: "In addition, you are right. Journey to the West is indeed a great opportunity to obtain the merits of Tiandao! Don't focus your attention on disasters. You need to know that you must clean up evil obstacles along the way and eliminate them. Only by weakening the tribulation energy and karma and weakening the nutrients of the evil invasion can it be a great merit!"
"As for who can get it, everyone depends on their own means. There can only be healthy competition, and no fighting is allowed! Do you know?"
"Follow the will of heaven!"
They were greeted and bowed down, and their hearts were full of joy... They couldn't beat the heavens in the first place, but now they can only compete in a healthy way. This is the best answer!
"Just wait and go..."
After saying the last reminder, Tiandao waved his hand and drove the two of them out of Zixiao Palace...
