Chapter 102: The False Flourishing of Buddhism
Pangu did not agree to Zhang Yuan's request, because this time the Monkey King incident can be said to be a fight between Pangu and Hongjun, so when Zhang Yuan came to the Honghuang Continent recently, Pangu needed to work hard to hide Zhang Yuan's information, so that Hongjun could not detect it.
Regarding Sun Wukong's fate, of course, Hongjun knows better than anyone else, so when Sun Wukong's fate has not yet been experienced, it suddenly changes greatly, I am afraid that Hongjun will immediately perceive his existence, so his own first move will have no effect at all, so Pangu did not agree to personally support Sun Wukong, whether Sun Wukong can break through this catastrophe can only depend on Zhang Yuan's own ability.
Pangu's refusal made Zhang Yuan frown slightly, after all, with his own strength, it is impossible to confront the Buddha head-on, so in the duel between Sun Wukong and the six-eared macaque, Sun Wukong will also fall into the disadvantage, waiting for him can only be watched by all the immortals in this world to be killed, and from then on, the six-eared macaque will take its place, and there will never be that Monkey King who fights the heavens and the earth in this world.
Thinking of such a possibility, Zhang Yuan's heart suddenly swelled up with a trace of discomfort, perhaps he really had an indescribable feeling for Sun Wukong, Zhang Yuan felt that he would never be able to let such a thing happen, since the Buddha wanted to take Sun Wukong's life, then what if he fought with him.
"Wukong, in the next period of time, I think we should take the initiative to attack, and we can no longer follow the route arranged for us, for the safety of your life, but also for me to be able to occupy a little advantage in the future battle of the gods, this time we must fight against the water, no matter who wants us to be submerged by history, we must forcibly crush it, God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha. ”
After listening to Zhang Yuan's words, Sun Wukong also burned a raging fighting spirit in his heart, and there was no longer the slightest fear, after all, with Zhang Yuan standing by his side, Sun Wukong did not believe that Rulai could really kill himself, since Rulai could no longer tolerate himself, then why should he forcibly endure the anger in his heart, five hundred years ago, he was accidentally pressed under the Wuzhi Mountain by Rulai, these five hundred years, how could he have been really convinced, and now, finally have the opportunity to retry with Rulai, Sun Wukong's heart is rising。
"Teacher, since I have decided to stand on the opposite side of Buddhism, then I will go and kill the six-eared macaque who dares to pretend to be me now, this desolate continent only needs one Monkey King, except for me, no one else deserves such a name. ”
With the exit of these words, Zhang Yuan suddenly found that in Sun Wukong's body, there was some momentum that looked at the world, and what echoed Sun Wukong from afar was actually an area on the edge of the sky, seeing the abnormality there, Zhang Yuan knew that there was once the place where Nuwa Niangniang mended the sky, it seems that Sun Wukong at this moment finally stimulated the breath from Nuwa Niangniang hidden in his body, so it will echo with the other five-colored divine stones.
Just as Sun Wukong was about to step forward, Zhang Yuan directly grabbed Sun Wukong, who was about to leave, and glanced at Zhang Yuan with some confusion, Zhang Yuan said: "This time, the history will be written by ourselves, so we have to kill the six-eared macaque above the Daxiong Treasure Hall openly, but before that, you should look for some people who recognize your identity, after all, the mark from the underworld behind you will not disappear because of your decision, so now is not the time to fight with the six-eared macaque." ”
After taking a deep look at the back of the six-eared macaque, Sun Wukong did not continue to rush forward in a hurry, but followed Zhang Yuan to leave this place completely, and it was also from the moment he turned around at this moment, Sun Wukong will have nothing to do with Buddhism at all, maybe there is, but it is just hatred.
Zhang Yuan and Sun Wukong came to the first stop is Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, although Sun Wukong is not particularly clear, but Zhang Yuan is very clear, want to let a sect fall into a struggle to fall into the disadvantage, the most important thing is to destroy their luck, to the Tang Dynasty when the prosperous era, Buddhism finally prevailed in Dongsheng Shenzhou, the reason for this situation, is entirely because the Yellow Emperor of the Tang Dynasty Li Shimin himself believes in cause and effect, and before he got the throne, he also got the help of the thirteen Arhats of Buddhism, only to get the world, so with the help of Tang Taizong, it is impossible for Buddhism not to prosper。
Zhang Yuan came here, only one purpose, is to see if he can give Buddhism a pot to draw salary, after all, the prosperity of Buddhism at this moment is not a real prosperity, the reason why ordinary people will participate in Zen worship Buddha, is also because of the emperor's order, so for such prosperity, it is also the most unstable, as long as Tang Taizong Li Shimin can change his thinking, then Buddhism may collapse in an instant.
If Buddhism collapses, then Tang Xuanzang's westward journey to learn scriptures will not have any meaning, after all, Buddhism wants to make Dasheng, just because the emperor's mandate is absolutely impossible to succeed, so it will plan this westward journey to learn scriptures, the purpose is to attract everyone's attention, so that all living beings know that it is not so simple to learn Buddhism's thoughts, only after paying a certain price, can you truly understand the righteousness of Buddhism, and it is not impossible to become a Buddha from now on.
But if the prosperity of Buddhism collapses, no one in the entire Honghuang Continent will pay attention to Tang Xuanzang's westward journey to learn scriptures, then of course there will be no meaning, and if this matter has no meaning, first of all, the identity of Sun Wukong will not be so important, so if the Buddha is afraid that he will not bet too much on the true identity of Sun Wukong and the six-eared macaque, so that the chance that Sun Wukong can hold his life has increased a lot.
Of course, if it is really a sect that has been in great prosperity, it is absolutely impossible to successfully make the other party collapse in an instant just by relying on Zhang Yuan and Sun Wukong, but the situation in Dongsheng Shenzhou is different at the moment, as long as Li Shimin can oppose Buddhism, then Buddhism, which seems to be very prosperous, will be immediately cleared out of Dongsheng Shenzhou, so Zhang Yuan and Sun Wukong will come to Chang'an.
After understanding Chang'an for a while, Zhang Yuan knew that things were not so simple, because this Xuanzang traveled west, and Zhang Yuan only knew after coming to Chang'an, there were other hidden secrets, and at the same time, here, Zhang Yuan also saw an old acquaintance, of course, this old acquaintance only communicated with the other party, but he did not really see the other party's appearance, and this person was the sheep-nosed Gong Wei Zheng who was swallowed by Zhang Yuan.
It turned out that not long after Tang Taizong ascended the throne, because of the previous Buddhism in Li Shimin's competition for the world, the thirteen arhats came to Tang Taizong to ask for rewards in accordance with the orders of the Buddha, of course, these monks did not ask for money and other things outside the body, but only asked Tang Taizong to set Buddhism as the state religion, and within the scope of the Tang Dynasty, try their best to promote Buddhism.
For this requirement of Buddhism, Tang Taizong is a little dissatisfied, after all, he won the world, originally wanted to enjoy the world alone, if Buddhism and themselves rule the world at this time, then their own Yellow Emperor, the power will become much less, and not only that, before they seize the world, for their own efforts not only go straight to Buddhism, if other people also learn Buddhism in general, ask to share the whole world with themselves, then whether they can finally be called a Yellow Emperor, have become unknown, so Tang Taizong's heart, this precedent is absolutely not open, so after Buddhism has asked for several times, Tang Taizong prevaricated the past.
Buddhism failed to get what it wanted, and did not give up, although the Buddhism of Tang Taizong, the co-owner of the world, could not hurt it in the slightest, but it was still possible to use some means to achieve their own goals, because in the last war of the gods, Taoism suffered heavy losses, and immediately, a new war of the gods was about to begin, so Taoism did not interfere in the affairs of the human race, but silently accumulated strength, waiting for the arrival of the war of the gods.
However, Buddhism is different, because Buddhism has developed over the years, and finally developed into a religion with the most disciples, so there is no accident, in the new war of the gods, Buddhism will definitely be attacked by the masses, so Buddhism at this time to choose to escape the world will not have any effect, but it is better to use a faster speed to develop their own Buddhism, so they will strive to make Buddhism really flourish among the human race.
Without the obstruction of Taoism, many of the cultivators among those characters, when facing the threat of Buddhism, can only become a helper for the other party to push Buddhism to Dasheng, and among them, the most critical role may be Yuan Tiangang.
If it is accurate, Yuan Tiangang is not a real Taoist practitioner, but another practitioner who inherited Fuxi, with a more appropriate name should be a feng shui master, or an earth master can also be, but there are many things in common in the practice of feng shui masters and practitioners, so they are considered by most people to be practitioners in the same way, but they are the most proficient in feng shui skills, and if you want to become a feng shui master, you must also need excellent talent, so in the entire desolate continent, there are only a handful of feng shui masters who are really capable。
As a feng shui master without a strong group backstage, Yuan Tiangang could only choose to give in when faced with the threat of Buddhism, so after Tang Taizong rejected Buddhism's proposal, Yuan Tiangang began to set up a fortune-telling stall on the bank of the Jing River, waiting for the final time to come.
