"Boom!"
The gate of Zixiao Palace was just closed, and on the futon half a step below Tiandao, the figures of Pingxin and Nuwa appeared again!
"This Buddhism is really greedy!"
Nuwa snorted coldly and looked down upon the two sages Dui Yin and Zhunti.
Fengshen didn't do anything, he was just a wallflower, he only knew how to take advantage and kidnap people, and he didn't contribute anything until the last battle... But now he wants to dominate the world, huh! Do you really think the three of them are easy to fool?
"This has always been the case in Western religion."
Ping Xin also had a flash of disdain in his eyes...it was obvious that he also looked down upon him very much!
Not to mention much, with the promise of Daxing, I just want to break into the underworld... This pattern alone is far different from Di Xin and the gods in heaven!
Look at the end of the Conferred Gods, heaven has suppressed the three realms, has there ever been a time when the underworld opened a back door? There were even some heavenly gods who had passed away and wanted to come to the underworld to ask for a discount... As a result, the underworld agreed. Before they could make arrangements, they were captured by the heavenly guards and arrested according to law!
Compared to Heaven, which enforces the law very strictly and treats oneself harshly... Buddhism has a chance to prosper, but it wants to attack the prestige of the underworld and Heaven, but it really doesn't work!
"The great rise of Buddhism is basically a bait for the devil."
Tiandao expressed his plans for Buddhism with an expressionless face: "There is no need for him to fight against the devil, so naturally there will be no more expectations!"
"Yes." Nuwa nodded and agreed: "Being able to lure out the devil is a great achievement! After all, it is not the Buddhist sect's turn to take the lead!"
"good!"
Pingxin also agrees... At this point, the three paths have reached a unified opinion, each of them closed their eyes and practiced, and no longer took the Buddhist advice to heart...
——
West, Lingshan!
Seeing the return of the two teachers, Tathagata immediately greeted them.
"Teacher, what does the way of heaven say? Did you ever say that you want to reprimand..."
"Nothing." Zhunti shook his head and told Tathagata what Tiandao in Zixiao Palace said this time: "Tiandao said that Buddhism has never been the main force in dealing with the devil..."
Hearing this, Tathagata frowned subconsciously... If according to what Heaven said, then wouldn't his plan to use the power of Heaven to force heaven and hell to make concessions come to nothing?
But when he heard the words of heaven that Buddhism could continue to prosper for ten thousand years, Tathagata couldn't help but get excited again! Ten thousand years of great prosperity would be enough for Buddhism to grow to a position where it can rise and sit together with heaven!
"...That's what Heaven said... Tathagata, do you have a plan?"
"Well... report to the teacher, the disciple does have an idea."
Tathagata nodded and expressed his opinion: "First of all, with the status of heaven, it is impossible to notify heaven specifically about this matter... Therefore, we can still use the excuse of Buddhas and demons to measure calamities to make heaven and earth give in... However, , not to go too far and cause a violent reaction in heaven. In this way, if it is exposed, we can also say that Buddhism is an important matter and fool it."
"good!"
As one of the originators of ancient times, Zhunti naturally understands the benefits mentioned by Tathagata! You won’t feel anything wrong!
"Secondly, although Heavenly Dao secretly named Heavenly Court to deal with Demonic Dao, Heavenly Court was the main force, but it did not say it clearly! To put it bluntly, it depends on who contributes the most. On the day of final settlement, it will be more rewarding!"
"And we have already taken an advantage in advance. That is the Westbound team, which is indeed the protagonist of the Tribulation! According to our agreement with the Emperor of Heaven, before the end of the Tribulation, the Westbound team will all belong to Buddhism. Without knowing this, the Heavenly Court sent Dapeng, When Sun Bin joins the Westbound team, we actually take advantage!"
"Not to mention returning to heaven after the Tribulation, at least during the Tribulation, the contribution made by the Westbound team should belong to Buddhism! After the Tribulation, the benefits will be obtained, and the great prosperity will last for ten thousand years. Overall, our Buddhist sect will make a lot of money Not a loss!"
In a simple sentence, Tathagata's plan is called: Borrowing chickens to lay eggs!
"Great kindness!"
Zhunti looked at Tathagata with admiration in his eyes... Sure enough, appointing him as the leader of Buddhism was the best decision he had made since becoming a saint!
This calculation ability... is comparable to that before he became a god!
As for becoming a god...ahem, let’s not mention it! It would be unlucky for him to meet such resourceful people as Jia Yue, Bai Ze, Li Jing, and Jiang Ziya!
"Finally..." Tathagata looked stern and said, "I suggest increasing the level of disaster in the journey to the west, expelling those who are stained with blood in Buddhism to the mortal world, and increasing the amount of merit gained by the team in the journey to the west!"
"Huh? Explain!"
Zhunti frowned, a little confused... He could understand the first two points, but by increasing the intensity of the disaster, expelling the false Buddhists, and adding merit to the Westward Journey team, wouldn't this be putting the cart before the horse?
It’s not that he underestimates Buddhism, it’s that the power of Buddhism today is really not enough to fight against the heaven! Increasing the difficulty of the disaster is not worth the gain!
Tathagata explained: "The third point is also for Buddhism!"
"First of all, the Westward Journey team will be members of my Buddhist sect when we measure the calamity. Increasing their combat power is to gain merit for the calamity measurement for the Buddhism!"
"Secondly, what Tian Dao told the teacher is very clear. The purpose of traveling to the west is to eliminate the tribulation energy and not provide nutrients to the devil. In this case, who said that those disciples of my Buddhist sect who are stained with blood sins and have not changed yet, will not Could it be magic nutrient?"
Zhunti was shocked. What Tathagata said... actually made sense? !
Since the devil feeds on calamity and karma, Buddhist disciples who are stained with blood are very likely to become devils in the future!
In this way, if you rush to the earth on your journey to the West in advance to overcome the tribulation, you may be able to obtain more merits!
"The most important thing is to drive these disciples down to the mortal world and completely expose their true nature. It may even lead to the sins hidden deep in the mortal world! During the journey to the west, we can eliminate these disasters and gain merits to pile up a few quasi-sages to deal with the future demonic war. , that’s right!”
"Teacher, it can be seen from the behavior of the Heavenly Court... Soldiers are more precious than fines! And if you have a heart for Buddhism, moral people are the real mainstay of our Buddhism!"
"good!"
This time, Zhunti never objected to Tathagata's words! In recent years, Buddhism has indeed been relying on its imminent prosperity, which is a bit too much!
Back then, it was time to screen the Jie Jiao disciples a little more! Some disciples, such as lions, elephants, and roosters, should not have been saved in the first place! Just let the humans kill him!
"But by clearing out those disciples, there will be a lot of empty seats in Buddhism."
Zhunti reminded Tathagata: "The Buddhist formation of Ten Thousand Buddhas requires disciples with sufficient cultivation to set it up...Have you ever thought about how to fill it?"
"There are many devout Buddhists in the mortal world and in the Land of Ultimate Bliss. Elevating them to Buddhism also gives some hope to lower-level Buddhists."
The Tathagata said confidently: "For example, my disciple Kinnara is well versed in the principles of Buddhist scriptures. After many kalpas, he can become one of the Buddhas! His future achievements will definitely be no less than those of Lantern and Maitreya!"
"Kinara?"
Zhunti recalled that although this boy was from an acquired race and only joined the West after the founding of Buddhism, his research on Buddhist scriptures was indeed good!
"Good! This child can indeed be one of the three thousand Buddhas! You can arrange for him to descend to earth as soon as possible, and when the position is available, you can promote him to one of the Buddhas!"
"Disciple accepts the order!"
The Tathagata was overjoyed. After bowing to the Buddha, he wanted to leave.
But before he was about to step out of the Paradise, Zhunti's words came from behind him: "Expelling disciples should not be based on closeness...for example, if you are a happy Buddha, you should not stay!"
The corner of Tathagata's mouth twitched... Hey, Chang'er, it's not that I don't want to protect you, it's your bad reputation that even the two saint teachers are disgusted by!
The only thing I can do is to help you descend to earth as soon as possible, and then extradite you into Buddhism after reincarnation!
"Teacher, don't worry, Tathagata only has the Dharma and no relatives!"
Tathagata said categorically... In order to become enlightened, he could abandon his master, let alone his brothers?
"Well... go ahead!"
After receiving permission, Tathagata stepped out of the Paradise... Jingyin and Zhunti looked at each other and said nothing more. They closed their eyes and practiced quietly to accumulate strength for the demonic invasion that was about to break out in the future!
——
In the Mahavira Hall, the Tathagata returns... all the Buddhist disciples look towards the Tathagata.
The Tathagata sat down and stared at the Buddhas... After thinking about it, he still couldn't tell them the words of heaven! After all, the fewer people who know a secret, the better it can be kept!
Moreover, who knew that with the methods of the Imperial Guards in Heaven, there was no hidden trap in Buddhism?
"I have reported to the two teachers and appealed to Heaven... Heaven has said that this time the calamity should be measured, the difficulty of the calamity should be increased, and the numerous blood evils and calamities in the immortal world should be cleared away!"
"You, my disciples, are also laying out plans in the lower world, waiting for the arrival of those who journey to the west!"
"The day when you return will be the time to reap merit!"
Speaking of this, Tathagata glanced at all the Buddhas, especially the Buddha of Joy, the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal!
"Happy Buddha!"
"The disciple is here!"
Long-eared Dingguang Immortal was overjoyed. Sure enough, Senior Brother has not forgotten me! Step out from the pink lotus and bow with great respect!
"You can go down to the mortal world and lay out catastrophes on the westbound road... You can separate the two catastrophes! The day when the catastrophe is completed is when you will gain merit!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
The Buddha of Joy has long ears and a happy smile... Haha, I can finally descend to earth!
I've been craving for a human woman for a long time... Descending to the mortal world can not only improve your cultivation, gain merits, but also eat meat. These are good things, and it's because Senior Brother misses the old friendship! You know I have long been tired of Buddhist bhikshuni!
As for whether he would be killed if he angered the Westbound team... Hehe, what a joke! I am descending to earth to personally spread the calamity! If I raise the difficulty level for the team heading west, will Senior Brother not protect me? !
By then I will be able to satisfy my desires, and I will be able to upgrade my realm after I come back... Senior brother, he is indeed my personal senior brother!
Looking at the excited and lewd eyes of the Happy Buddha, a stern look flashed deep in Tathagata's eyes... He reminded: "Remember, when you descend to earth this time, you are not allowed to harass the people! It can only lead to local sins, and you must not violate the precepts!" Otherwise, if the Westbound team wants to kill you, I won’t save you!”
"Don't worry, World Honored One, I will definitely abide by the teachings!"
Huanxi Buddha looked unconcerned and returned the greeting... The Westbound team will kill me? I am the pinnacle of Da Luo! The strongest member of the Westbound team is no more than Dapeng. We are both at the pinnacle of Daluo, so how can they defeat me?
If I don't kill them, it's because they are the ones who can overcome the tribulation! When the time comes, if you act in a drama and return to Buddhism, you will probably be scolded. What is there to be afraid of?
Besides, I just like lust, and there are quite a few Buddhist disciples who cannibalize people! If they don't die, why should I?
The Tathagata also knew very well that Buddha Huanxi was faithful and knew that he would never listen to him... But he had already reminded him, which was considered fulfilling his responsibility as a senior brother!
Look at the twinkling light in the eyes of other people, especially the blood-stained disciples...
"Green Lion Arhat, White Elephant Arhat, Golden Retriever Rohan Arhat!"
"The disciple is here!"
"You can descend to the mortal world and create disasters for the Westward Journey... Remember, this descent is for you to cleanse your sins and obtain merits. You must not cannibalize! If you commit any crimes and are eliminated by the Westward Journey team, Buddhism will never save you! Remember!"
"Disciple accepts the order!"
The lions, elephants, and cats were overjoyed and came out to bow down. Senior brother is mighty!
What are you thinking in your heart... Look at the greed shining in their eyes, you know they will not be obedient! It’s hard to say that just by relying on it to gain merit, it will increase the number of sins!
Gain merit and wash away sins? Oh, they didn’t care when they were practicing Buddhism, and they didn’t care when they were in Buddhism. How could they care after they descended to earth?
As for life and death? With their cultivation level, the Westbound team is nothing!
In the following time, the Tathagata, like the Buddha of Joy and the Lion and the Elephant, kept approaching the disciples who still did not change their sins of killing after entering the Buddha, and laid disasters one after another to drive them away from the lower realm...
Every time he talks about a person, he will deliberately remind him not to do evil... These disciples are also the three thousand mortals who traveled to the world on the day when Zhunti became a god. Each one of them thought they could descend to the earth, but it was because the senior brother saw what they had done in the past. In terms of brotherhood, all of them are extremely proud, and even show off with the eyes of those around them, which is called a very satisfied person.
Only the seven disciples of Zhenliusun, Lingbao, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Guanyin, Daoxing, and Qingxu came to Buddhism. The disciples of Zhenling Recultivation noticed something was wrong and lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at Tathagata!
Finally, after the Tathagata finished distributing the disaster, he reminded him again.
"The purpose of your descending to the mortal world is to eliminate the karma and karma of the three realms and cut off the nutrients of the devil. You must not do evil yourself! Otherwise, Buddhism will not forgive you! Do you know this?!"
"Disciple, please follow the instructions of the Lord!"
The three thousand mortal visitors from the Buddhist sect who received the order of the disaster all bowed down one after another, showing joy on their faces!
"Then go down to earth!"
The Tathagata waved his hands, and the disciples turned around and left the hall, happily walking outside the Main Hall without stopping at all...
After everyone left, even after leaving Lingshan, Tathagata looked at Guanyin...
"You are in charge of this calamity... Can you hear clearly what I just said?!"
Facing Tathagata's indifferent gaze, Guanyin swallowed... She still didn't understand. Tathagata was emphasizing the four words "will not forgive", which was the key!
"Disciple... please obey the Lord's will!"
Guanyin bowed respectfully. This time, she was really frightened! World Honored One, how cruel!
"Good! Now that you know it, keep it in your heart!"
After Tathagata nodded again with meaning, he said no more and continued to preach...
Golden light bloomed, and the sound of preaching resounded throughout Lingshan...
