Chapter 3: Make a bet
As soon as Sun Wukong heard Lu Fengqiu report to his home, his mind was rapidly searching for memories of Qingyunzi, but among the gods and Buddhas, he had never heard of such an immortal god called Qingyunzi.
Sun Wukong couldn't see how deep Lu Fengqiu's roots were, but he could feel the unfathomable aura emanating from Lu Fengqiu's body.
Since he was born, he has seen many gods and Buddhas, and since he has achieved great powers, there are no more than a few people who can give such an unfathomable feeling.
Sun Wukong secretly said, this Qingyunzi must not know which great god is hidden in the Three Realms.
For some reason, the more Sun Wukong looked at Lu Fengqiu, the more he felt that Lu Fengqiu had a sense of déjà vu.
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong sold a good job, rolled his eyes, and said to Lu Fengqiu: "It turned out to be Qingyunzi Dao Chief, rare, rare." ”
"I don't know where the Immortal Residence is? How did you come to this Chang'an City to play? ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled lightly and said, "The poor Dao is here just to make a relationship with a few people. ”
When Sun Wukong heard this, his eyes rolled again, and he said secretly: "This Qingyunzi immortal god who came out of nowhere, presumably he is not a nameless person in the Three Realms, and he came to us for no reason. ”
"Weird, weird!"
Sun Wukong muttered in his heart, but he said: "Previously, when I heard what the Taoist chief said, I seemed to have a lot of complaints about this West Heavenly Spirit Mountain. ”
Lu Fengqiu shook his head and said, "That's not it, Poor Dao just said some doubts about Poor Dao." ”
"As far as Poor Dao knows, the Buddha sent the Eight Great King Kongs to escort the four of you masters and apprentices back to Datang to deliver scriptures."
"The back and forth of the scriptures has only given you eight days, and the Eight King Kongs are still waiting for your master and apprentice in the clouds, and they will return to Lingshan to pay the decree!"
When Sun Wukong heard this, his heart was even more sudden, this person is really powerful, and he even knew that they had sent the scriptures back to Lingshan for a few days.
At this time, Zhu Bajie on the side muttered: "You are so boring, don't you envy Master and my senior brothers who are going to West Tianling Mountain to become Buddhas, so they deliberately came to form this fate with us." ”
Tang Sanzang heard this, and shook his head slightly, he didn't feel like it.
Sun Wukong glanced at Zhu Bajie and remained silent.
Lu Fengqiu continued: "Why is it said to be the method of marriage, because no one understands the true scriptures, no one passes them on, even if you go to this eastern land, what can you do? ”
"Since the true scripture is so difficult to find, it takes nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties to find it."
"Why are you in a hurry to go back to Lingshan?"
"Sanzang, do you remember why you learned the scriptures?"
Tang Sanzang folded his hands and said, "Of course I remember, the poor monk asked for the true scriptures for the sake of purifying all sentient beings!" ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled, and secretly said in his heart, he came to Chang'an to start by digging the foot of the wall.
It's not that the Tang monks and apprentices are now rebelled against and let them rebel out of Buddhism.
That's not realistic.
What he did was nothing more than to show an attitude of the Daomen!
Traveling to the west to learn scriptures is nothing more than seeing that there are many ordinary people in the Nanzhan Continent and few Buddhist believers, and if you want to get a piece of the pie from the Nanzhan Continent, you will start planning to travel west to learn the scriptures.
However, Nanzhan Buzhou was originally the territory of Taoism, and although Buddhism had been introduced to Middle-earth in the Han Dynasty, it was never prosperous.
Rulai fell in love with the big cake of Nanzhan Buzhou, so he spread Buddhism in the east and wanted to get a piece of the pie from the hands of the Daomen.
The Tao is natural, and the Taishang Dao Ancestor will not meddle in the preaching of any world, as the so-called teacher uniform leads into the door, and the cultivation is in the individual.
The ancestors of the Tao preached, leaving behind the seeds.
As for how the seed takes root and sprouts, it is a matter for later generations.
The same is true of the world.
Dao Ancestor obviously has an incarnation in this world, but he has always rarely appeared.
It is precisely because of this that Rulai dared to unscrupulously stretch his hand into Nanzhan Buzhou.
Because it is natural to understand the Taoism of the Taishang Dao Ancestor, and to know what kind of character the Taishang Dao Ancestor is.
Nowadays, among the disciples and grandchildren of the Daomen, there can be said that there is not a single person who has the ability to wrestle with Rulai.
This is also why, the Taishang Dao Ancestor will bring Lu Fengqiu back.
The responsibility of preaching was handed over to Lu Fengqiu because the heavy responsibility of preaching was indispensable to Lu Fengqiu.
Although Lu Fengqiu obtained the law from the Taishang Dao Ancestor, unlike the Taishang Dao Ancestor, he preferred to practice it physically.
Speaking of which, Lu Fengqiu is the founder of the Dao Sect in the true sense.
In the past, the Taoist ancestor incarnated as Lao Tzu to preach the law, and Xuandu incarnated as Yin Xi to enter the world with the Taoist ancestor, creating a vein of Wenshi, and the Taoist gate has only begun so far.
Now, Lu Fengqiu has integrated his previous life, and it can be said that he is Xuandu and Yin Xi.
He believes that what he and Tang Seng and his apprentices say today will definitely be known in the future.
What he shook was the devotion of Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice to Lingshan.
Once he knows about this, he will naturally deduce his identity, but how much he can deduce is not necessarily.
Thinking of this, Lu Fengqiu continued: "Since you are seeking the true scriptures for all sentient beings, why are you in such a hurry to become a Buddha? ”
"If you don't become a Buddha, can't you benefit all sentient beings?"
"Isn't what you did before promoting the Dharma and benefiting all sentient beings?"
Tang Sanzang didn't know why Lu Fengqiu would say this, but he had already paid attention to it secretly, and said directly: "It's not that Sanzang is in a hurry to become a Buddha, but because Sanzang became a Buddha in order to better purify sentient beings!" ”
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, his words changed.
"Sanzang, how about you and I make a bet?"
Tang Sanzang said curiously: "What kind of bet does a real person want to make?" ”
Lu Fengqiu said leisurely: "I bet that you have been in Lingshan for three hundred years, what should this world be like, and what it will still be, it will not become more beautiful because you become a Buddha, nor will it become no longer cruel because you have taken the true scriptures." ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Tang Sanzang was stunned, but also the monks of Hongfu Temple were stunned.
Sun Wukong faintly felt that this was not simple!
But I don't know what the problem is!
Tang Sanzang was silent, his face solemn.
Seeing this, Lu Fengqiu looked at this Tang Sanzang with sincerity in his eyes, and said, "What?" Isn't Sanzang not confident in himself? ”
Tang Sanzang saw the sincerity in Lu Fengqiu's eyes, and for some reason, a momentum of not admitting defeat suddenly rose in his heart.
I saw Tang Sanzang clasping his hands together and said: "This bet, Sanzang bet!" “
Seeing this, Zhu Bajie on the side couldn't help but say: "Master, if you make a bet, you have to make some bets or something, and you can't gamble." ”
Sun Wukong listened, glared at Zhu Bajie, and said, "Idiot, it's just a mouthful!" ”
Zhu Bajie muttered: "It was originally true." ”
When Tang Sanzang heard this, he looked at Lu Fengqiu and said, "This bet, if a real person loses, what should I do?" ”
Lu Fengqiu said with a smile: "If Poor Dao loses, Poor Dao can promise to do one thing for you." ”
"However, what if Sanzang loses?"
When Tang Sanzang heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he clasped his hands together and said, "If Sanzang loses!" You can promise three things to real people! “
When Tang Sanzang said this, he had an indomitable momentum on his body, like not bowing to the demon on the way to learn the scriptures!
"Master!"
Sun Wukong only felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly called Tang Sanzang.
Tang Sanzang said confidently: "Wukong, do you also think that after becoming a Buddha as a teacher, you can't use this true scripture to purify sentient beings and make the world a better place?" ”
Sun Wukong shouldn't have answered for a while.
At this time, Lu Fengqiu continued: "Three pieces are not necessary, one is enough, it is fair, and the poor road will not take advantage of you." ”
Lu Fengqiu was a bamboo in his chest, and his bearing was extraordinary, which made Sun Wukong even more uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that Lu Fengqiu had dug a big hole for Tang Sanzang.
"Sanzang, you are destined to become a Buddha when you go to Lingshan, and you will no longer be a mortal for a long time to come!"
"When you enter the Pure Land of Bliss in the Western Heavens, you will no longer be able to perceive the suffering of old age, sickness and death in this mortal life."
"The Buddha is high, and in the eyes of the Buddha, mortals are nothing but ants."
"If you sit on the spiritual mountain every day and recite the scriptures, you can benefit all sentient beings, then why do all sentient beings in this world still have so many sufferings! Endless! ”
"What the Buddha and the Bodhisattva in the Buddha Kingdom of the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain have not done."
"Could it be that if you become a Buddha in Sanzang, you will be able to stop the world from sinking in this world?"
"Sanzang, you just said that good thoughts together, all sentient beings can cross, I think this is a great good."
"As long as you have good thoughts in your heart and use your good thoughts to influence others, does it matter if you don't become a Buddha or not?"
"Shouldn't it be where my body is, that is, Lingshan!"
"Because of goodness, so to the Buddha, not because of the Buddha, so good!"
"Buddhas may not all be the embodiment of goodness, and the Lingshan Buddha realm may not be the Pure Land of Bliss!"
"Poor Dao is all here, Sanzang, three hundred years later, when you and I meet again, I hope you don't forget today's gambling agreement between you and me!"
Speaking of this, Lu Fengqiu glanced at Sun Wukong.
If you go to Lingshan, not only will Tang Sanzang become a Buddha, but Sun Wukong will also become a Buddha!
The Tang monk who became a Buddha is no longer a Tang monk who is a little pedantic and has a sincere heart on the way to the west.
Lingshan is a big dye vat.
Although it is known as the Pure Land of Bliss, the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and those who have no eyes have already stepped aside.
Tang Seng will change after becoming a Buddha.
Sun Wukong, who has become a fighting and defeating Buddha, will also change.
Fighting to defeat the Buddha Sun Wukong will no longer be the Monkey King who dares to overturn the throne of the Jade Emperor and pee on the hands of Rulai.
He will become a pawn in the hands of Rulai.
Tang Sanzang said: "True people rest assured, Sanzang will not forget today's words!" ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled slightly, purple qi flashed, and he climbed the clouds and left.
Seeing this, the monks in Hongfu Temple immediately exclaimed: "It's a god!" ”
……
Lu Fengqiu did not leave Datang, but continued to stay in Chang'an.
He had already received the news that early tomorrow morning, Li Shimin would talk with Tang Sanzang in Yanta Temple.
When the time comes, the Eight King Kongs will call the Tang monks and apprentices to return to Lingshan to restore their lives.
Lu Fengqiu plans to pass on another lineage in Datang, and he needs to talk to Li Shimin.
The purpose of Tang Emperor Li Shimin's transcendent soul was so that he would not go to hell.
At the beginning of the Journey to the West, the Tang Emperor went to hell, but he was actually intimidated by Guanyin.
Li Tang has always believed in the Tao since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and so has Li Shimin.
Tang Seng traveled west, Li Shimin just sent two retinues to Tang Seng, although he was given the title of a royal brother, but it was just a false name.
Except for the robes and bowls he was given, not a single tael of silver came out.
The territory of Datang has always been blessed by gods, and Li Tang claimed to be a descendant of Lao Tzu.
Lu Fengqiu wants to establish a Taoist system in Li Tang again, so he naturally wants to find Li Shimin and say.
He did this not only for the sake of preaching, but also for the purpose of three hundred years from now, and of course for the sake of seeing.
What he said to Tang Sanzang today, if he comes, he will definitely know.
If you know about it, you will definitely pay attention to him, but whether you can count his origin is not necessarily.
The reason why Lu Fengqiu wanted to make a bet with Tang Seng was to prepare for three hundred years later, after Wutian was born.
Wutian was born and ruled the Three Realms for thirty-three years, and during those thirty-three years, Wutian was destined to be the destiny of heaven.
Lu Fengqiu's task is to get the World Destroying Black Lotus in his hands, but if he wants to take the World Destroying Black Lotus from Wutian's hands, the difficulty can be said to be quite large.
You must know that Wutian can achieve the unity of saints and demons, and it is thanks to this world-destroying black lotus.
If you want to fool the lawless and take out the natal magic weapon, it is not as simple as casually talking about life and ideals.
It is necessary to come up with something that will convince the heavens.
Otherwise, why would Wutian talk nonsense with Lu Fengqiu.
Wutian is a demon with ideals.
He hated this world, and he felt that the gods and Buddhas in this world were hypocritical.
He doesn't like these three realms, so he wants to rule the three realms and create one of his ideals.
However, when the time comes, he will find that the ideal Three Realms is not so easy to build, he can't even get a Monkey King, and even Tang Seng can't rebel, let alone a large group of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Ziling Mountain.
Wutian is a demon in the eyes of everyone in the Three Realms, and no matter how good the demon says, he is also a demon.
No matter how straw the words of the Buddha are, they are also Buddhas.
That's the importance of identity.
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Therefore, Lu Fengqiu is ready to help Wutian! Help Wutian forge a new Three Realms.
It is not only cooperation, but also a win-win situation!
If he dared to recklessly intrude on the territory of the Daomen, the Taishang Dao Ancestor ignored it, but Lu Fengqiu couldn't sit idly by.
He's going to hit him back!
Let Rulai know that it is awesome!
Lu Fengqiu is not afraid of offending Rulai, the evolution of the world of the pluralistic universe is originally full of uncertainty, to put it bluntly, he relies on his ability to speak.
To deal with a Buddha like Rulai, the only way to deal with it is to give back to the other person.
Even if the Nyorai Buddha of the Pangu Continent knew about this, he couldn't say a word, at most, he would remember this matter in his heart, and he might stumble Lu Fengqiu in the future.
But Lu Fengqiu is not afraid of him as he comes, as the only true ancestor of the Taishang Dao Ancestor, the number two person in the human sect.
He is also a figure with a head and a face in the pluralistic universe, even if the deity sees Lu Fengqiu, he must be polite on his face.
What's more, Lu Fengqiu's help to Wutian can also be said to follow the destiny of this world.
Although Wutian is the Great Sage of the Demon Realm, he is not the embodiment of darkness who kills innocents indiscriminately.
If it was the embodiment of darkness, it would not have created so many identical immortals to maintain order in the Three Realms.
He just wanted to change the Three Realms and change the Immortal Buddha who was high above.
Let this world accommodate weak existences.
What Lu Fengqiu has to do is to spread his Dao system all over Nanzhan Buzhou in these three hundred years, no matter how the dynasty in the world changes, there is a Dao system, three hundred years later, when Lu Fengqiu wants to do something, he can naturally wave his arm.
What's more, if Lu Fengqiu helped Wutian create a new Three Realms, he would be promoting new changes in this world, which was equivalent to evolving the world.
For the pluralistic universe, it is very worthy of recognition.
Therefore, Lu Fengqiu's grasp is still very large.
In short, the Black Lotus of the World Destroyer, he must get it!
……
The next day, Tang Taizong Li Shimin talked with Tang Sanzang in Yanta Temple, which attracted the people in Chang'an City to rush to tell each other.
"I heard that the Holy Lord wants to spread the true scriptures taken by Master Sanzang to the world, so today I specially talked with Master Sanzang in the Yanta Temple."
Yanta Temple.
The garrison was heavily guarded, and the Tang Imperial Forest Army set up a fortification here early.
At this time, on a high platform in the temple, the scriptures were laid neatly, and Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, sat on it.
Below is a group of Tang courtiers, as well as four Tang monks and apprentices, plus a white dragon horse.
At this time, Li Shimin's face was happy, Tang Sanzang was holding the scroll in his hand, and he was chanting the scriptures to Li Shimin and a group of ministers.
At this moment, suddenly the fragrant wind swirled, and there was a golden light flashing in the air, and the Eight King Kongs appeared in the clouds, shouting: "Chanting scriptures, put down the scriptures, and follow me back to the west!" ”
After a few breaths, Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice took off into the air and left with the Eight Great King Kongs.
Seeing this, Tang Taizong Li Shimin and the ministers sighed with emotion and paid homage to the western sky.
At this moment, purple qi came from the east, filling the sky, as if auspicious clouds had descended.
"The Tao is good, the very way, the name is famous, the name is not famous!"
A fairy voice that seemed to descend from the nine heavens sounded from the clouds.
The next moment, a figure riding a deer slowly appeared from the clouds and appeared in the eyes of Tang Taizong Li Shimin and his ministers.
Seeing this, Tang Taizong Li Shimin and the ministers all showed joy on their faces, and immediately bowed: "I've seen the immortal!" ”
