After listening to Wang Fei's words, Jigong sighed:

"Alas, Taoist friends have a deep Buddha fate, but unfortunately the fate is not yet mature. Anyway, since Daoyou wants me to let Liu Taizhen go. Well, I heard that you once helped Zhang Guolao win the Buddha and Taoism competition. How about you do me a favor now?"

Wang Fei listened:

"What does the Master want me to help with?"

Jigong Road:

"Now in the capital, the Queen of Heaven wants to build a royal temple. For her to worship the Buddha and support the monks. It's just that in the capital, Ye Fashan and Luo Gongyuan are reluctant to agree because of the separation of Buddhism and Taoism. ”

Later, after discussion in the court, it was agreed that both sides of Buddhism and Taoism would work out to cut off several evil left ways that caused disaster to the whole country. Whoever succeeds more on both sides wins. You have outperformed the Buddha once on behalf of the Daomen. This time, the Buddha Gate also won, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Wang Fei replied:

"Master, do you know that I won the competition on behalf of Zhang Guolao, and Zhang Guolao gave me a Dan Sutra and a human emperor treasure?"

Ji Gong listened and replied:

"Then if you win this competition, I will not only release Liu Taizhen, but also promise you a request that I can do, what do you think?"

Wang Fei listened, considered the gains and losses in his heart, and asked with a smile after a while:

"The master has a profound Dharma, why don't you take action yourself?"

Jigong sighed:

"Alas, although it is said to be a demon subjugation, but in the end it is a matter of killing and killing, and I really don't want to do it. Besides, you have a Buddha fate, and this time I invite you to go out of the Buddha Gate, which can be regarded as leading you to the Buddha. ”

Wang Fei listened and asked:

"I don't know which demons are there, and what characters on both sides of Buddhism and Taoism come forward?"

Jigong Road:

"According to the statistics and reports of the officials of the Tang Dynasty, the demons who are very troubled are the Heavenly Corpse Ancestor of the Yinfeng Cave in Longshan in the southwest. This person is rumored to be a zombie who has been enlightened for many years, and recently he has gone crazy and slaughtered humans. He has already killed thousands of people in the southwest. ”

"There is also the Northwest Black Wind Ridge Jinpeng Demon King, this demon dominates the northwest, and once attacked the mine and devoured hundreds of miners on the mine. ”

"There is also Wushan Yunyu Peak Bliss Demon Dao, this person is absurd and promiscuous and has often robbed women for many years and provoked many officials. ”

"In addition, there is the southern border, and the southern wilderness people have been invading from time to time recently, robbing the people of the Tang Dynasty, and there are dozens of ghost kings, demon paths, and so on. ”

After listening to these introductions, Wang Fei's heart moved, and he really had a few acquaintances. I think that the Heavenly Corpse Ancestor must have been destroyed by himself, and now he has started killing people and refining treasures again.

As for the real person of Bliss, it is even more familiar, after all, he has been a comrade-in-arms. As for the savages in southern Xinjiang, I'm afraid I'm talking about the barbarians in the savage village, and it seems that they have also made moves recently.

After thinking about it, I asked Jigong again:

"There are so many demons and evils, so who is there on both sides of the Buddha and the Tao?"

Jigong Road:

"There are Ye Fashan and Luo Gongyuan who are known to the Daomen, as for what characters they will invite, then I don't know. In terms of Buddhism, there are Fahai Zen Master who placed orders in the White Horse Temple, there is Daxiong Zen Master who entered the Buddha from the Tao, and there is a Dazhi Zen Master who practiced penance in the Snow Mountain. Someone else was going to invite me over. But I can't bear to kill, so I want you to come forward on my behalf. ”

After listening to Jigong's words, Wang Fei thought in his heart, although this Jigong didn't know the depths. But his great name Wang Fei had heard in his previous life that he was the reincarnation of the Buddha's throne descending dragon Arhat. If you can get a favor from him, I am afraid that you will benefit a lot in the future.

And among those left-path demons, the Heavenly Corpse Old Demon was his enemy, and it was in line with his own heart to come forward to cut him off. As for the other demons, they won't come forward anymore when the time comes. After thinking about it, he said to Jigong:

"The old demon was so brutal that day that I saw him slaughter villages. I wanted to cut him off that day, but I had to be persuaded by a friend to spare his life. I don't want him to revive now, and he is hurting his life and killing him, since the master invites him, then I will come forward and cut off this demon on behalf of Buddhism, what do you think, master?"

Ji Gong smiled when he heard this:

"Good, good, cutting karma is not killing people, killing is nursing. It is the best thing for Taoist friends to come forward to make this merit. Since Daoyou agreed, then I will give up the gambling contract today and not let this Liu Shenxian be a monk. ”

After speaking, he turned around and took off the Buddhist beads worn by Liu Taizhen, then turned around and staggered away, and then said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoists go to the White Horse Temple in the capital to find Zen Master Huiyuan, I will leave, go to Elysium, and ask for the joyful Zen method for Daoists. ”

Talking and laughing, but after a moment, he was gone. Seeing that he was still laughing at the words of Huanxi Zen just now, Wang Fei had no choice but to smile at Princess Ao Qing and said:

"It was just a joke just now, but now this monk has come to make fun of me. ”

Princess Ao Qing smiled when she heard this:

"You don't have to explain, because I can understand if you want to learn Joy Zen. ”

Wang Fei was very embarrassed when he heard this. Speechless, Liu Taizhen saluted Wang Fei:

"Thank you for saving me. ”

After speaking, he was about to kowtow, Wang Fei saw that his hair was gray, and hurriedly helped him up and said:

"That's it, your master used to be kind to me, and now I should save you. ”

That Liu Taizhen said:

"I still have to thank my predecessors, if it weren't for the seniors who rescued me today, Taizhen would have lost all face. I'm afraid I have no shame to live in the world. ”

Wang Fei saw that what he said was serious, and he also felt funny in his heart. However, it is indeed a bit embarrassing to ask a Taoist priest to become a monk, and it is not good to see the old man again. But this Mrs. Liu is really not as good as others, and she really has nothing to say. Then he asked:

"What's next for you?"

Mrs. Liu thought for a while and said:

"Since the predecessor agreed, the monk will come forward to subdue the demon on his behalf. Thinking about it, the seniors will definitely go to the capital. I want to go to the capital with my seniors to meet Master and learn the Tao well. to repay the hatred of the day. ”

Wang Fei listened:

"In that case, then you can go to the capital with me, it just so happens that I also want to see your master again. ”

I was so overjoyed that I answered and waited aside. Then Wang Fei discussed with Princess Ao Qing that Her Royal Highness the princess had nothing to do recently, so she would go to Beijing with Wang Fei. The two had already decided, so they extinguished the bonfire and took Liu Taizhen to Beijing together.

Idle and bored on the road, Wang Fei sighed:

"Alas, it's all about the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, you said that the Sanqing Sage and Amitabha Buddha are both characters who are in line with the Tao and are too forgetful. I've already seen through everything, so why bother with this battle for unification?"

Princess Ao Qing smiled:

"I have heard my father tell me about it. ”

"Oh, and ask the princess for advice. ”

Wang Fei asked curiously.

"Although the saint is in harmony with the Tao, he is holy in nine ways, and he is divided into people, and he still has a face to fight. Second, this system is also related to the cultivation of saints. ”

Princess Ao Qing explained.

"The cultivation of a saint?"

Wang Fei was even more curious:

"Isn't a saint the highest level of cultivation?

Princess Ao Qing saw that Wang Fei was eager, so she smiled and continued to explain:

"When mortals cultivate to the Golden Immortal, the primordial spirit and mana will accumulate to the peak, and the next thing is the realm. Hongjun's ancestors handed down three methods of sanctification. ”

"One is to prove the Tao with strength, just like the great god of Pangu, he uses pure mana to split chaos and shape all things in heaven and earth. The Pangu God is considered a success or a failure. He is said to have succeeded because he has indeed done a groundbreaking. It is said that he failed because he ran out of mana and fell. ”

"There is also the second disciple of Hongjun Old Ancestor, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Donghuang Taiyi, who also proves the Tao with his strength. At that time, he was ordered by Hongjun Ancestor to suppress time and space with the Eastern Emperor Bell, and divided the three hundred and sixty-five primeval stars into the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array to integrate the clear qi of the sky. I want to control the two qi of turbidity and become enlightened with strength. However, the turbidity of the earth was controlled by the Wu clan, and Taiyi could not succeed, and finally fell at the same time as the Twelve Ancestral Witches, so he failed. ”

"There is also the third disciple of Hongjun Ancestor, Nuwa Niangniang, who preached with the two great merits of creating people and mending the sky, and she succeeded. ”

"In the end, the Three Qing Saints and the Two Western Saints attained enlightenment by beheading three corpses, and they all succeeded. Therefore, most of the practitioners today follow the method of beheading three corpses and making merits. ”

"The method of merit is too difficult, because in today's world, it is almost impossible to obtain merit similar to that of making up the heavens and creating people. That's why everyone is practicing the method of beheading three corpses. ”

"This method cuts off the three thoughts of good, evil, and attachment, and the whole person is not swayed by emotions and distracting thoughts. Able to act completely according to the way of heaven. Therefore, the more obsessions that can be cut off with the body, the greater the magic power. ”

"In today's world, there are many great powers to cut off a corpse, such as Guanyin Bodhisattva, Dari Rulai Wuchao Zen Master, Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha, and so on. ”

"There are also quite a few who have beheaded the two corpses, such as Haotian God, Western Heaven Rulai, Northern Stygian Kunpeng, Styx Sect Ancestor of the Netherworld Blood Sea, Zhenyuan Great Immortal, and so on. ”

"The power of beheading corpses is called Taiyi Jinxian, and the one who beheading three corpses is Da Luo Jinxian, which is commonly known as the sect leader saint. ”

"But there is still a realm after the saint, that is, to join the Tao like Hongjun Ancestor. To be in harmony with the Tao, the whole world needs to run completely in its own way, and this requires education and the power of merit. This is why the saints compete for religious luck. For example, Amitabha, if he can make all the people in the world of Kyushu believe in Buddhism, then the whole world will be able to operate according to his path, and he will be able to completely conform to the path like the ancestor of Hongjun. ”

"On the contrary, the same is true for the Three Qing Saints, if the whole world completely believes in the human religion, the Taiqing Daode Tianzun will be able to go further. ”

After listening to Princess Ao Qing's introduction, Wang Fei finally understood why the saints would fight over Taoism. After all, they want to go further. It's just that now the six saints, in addition to the demon cult of Nuwa Niangniang, there are still four major sects, completely excluding the other ones, how difficult it is to occupy all the beliefs by themselves, even the saints can't do it.

Wang Fei thought for a while, but such things were too far away from him, so he simply stopped dwelling on them. The three of them hurried hard, traveled for about two days, and finally arrived in Chang'an City.

First find a no-man's land and fall to the ground, and the three of them decided to go to find Ye Fashan first. Because Wang Fei had been to his Taoist temple, it was easy to find. When I arrived at the Taoist temple, Mrs. Liu was really busy knocking on the door, and after a while, a Taoist boy came, opened the door and saw the three of them and asked:

"I don't know who the three are, what's going on in my view?"
