Chapter 1223 Rest assured

"Good. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

What Xue Chong couldn't imagine anymore was that the Buddha readily agreed. Xue Chong was overjoyed and said, "The purpose of my father's request to negotiate this time has basically been achieved so far, but there is one last point?"

A smile appeared on Xue Chong's face.

In fact, no matter how optimistic Xue Chong's estimate was, he never thought that the Buddha would be so happy.

Especially just now, when he saw that Guanyin Niangniang and the Buddha were blatantly lying, he was still beating the drum in his heart, thinking that the West would not cooperate with the actions of the heavenly court at all, and he would not even agree to such a thing as sending a hostage in response to the situation, but now, the Buddha promised himself that a stone in Xue Chong's heart had finally landed, but he didn't know the real reason.

"What else, you say it's okay?"

"I also want to hear that when Heavenly Court conquered the Protoss, it was when Heavenly Court had the weakest control over the Quartet, which must be understandable to the Buddha, once in such a situation, how could Heavenly Court ensure that Buddhism would not seek sexual trouble?"

"There are no guarantees. Western Rulai smiled again, "Because things in the world are often confusing, even if it is not my Buddhism, but presumably, there are people who will come in the name of Buddhism to frame blame, right?

Xue Chong sneered: "The Buddha Lord is really thoughtful, but ordinary people want to frame the blame, and the heavenly court really doesn't take it seriously, when my father is going to conquer the Protoss and the Southern Barbarians, do you know what he is most worried about?"

Fuxian Bodhisattva sneered: "Of course I know what he is worried about, what he is worried about is that the Buddha Gate and the Dao Gate will secretly act against the Heavenly Court, and you have been hiding it and not saying it, isn't that what it means?"

Xue Chong laughed: "Yes, almost everyone in the world knows this, this is exactly what my father is most worried about when he sent troops to the Nanban and the Protoss, Buddha, your Buddhism has always been a hard practice, with the demon subduing and defending the Tao as the foundation of the religion, you must be able to do something for the heavenly court, which can be regarded as accumulating merit, and at the same time avoid my father's worries?"

"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, you don't have to talk around the bush here, you just tell me what your father wants us to do?"

"My father's intention is to invite Guanyin Niangniang to my heavenly court as a guest, but I can't leave at will. Xue Chong laughed incomprehensibly, it was obvious that in Xue Chong's opinion, what level of master to send as a hostage was the topic he really cared about.

After saying these words, Xue Chong looked at the face of the Buddha nervously, eager to know the answer.

"It's really ridiculous! Guanyin is the head of my Buddhist sect, and you actually want her to be a hostage? Isn't this too much of a deception?" Manjushri became angry and angry, his expression was very vicious, and he was extremely disgusted with Xue Chong.

The Buddha was noncommittal, but just looked at Guanyin Niangniang: "What do you think about this matter?"

"Returning to the Master, it is disrespectful to the Buddha to do this. The disciples thought that it was absolutely impossible, and that this was also disrespectful to Buddhism, and we must not agree to such an unreasonable demand. ”

Xue Chong smiled: "This is not an unreasonable request, this is a normal request of my father, just like a person must eat and drink, and this prince tells you that this is also the will of Heavenly Court, only in this way, sending a real master among the Buddhist Sects can really make Heavenly Court dispel the concerns of Buddhism." ”

"You treat our Buddhism as a rebel, don't you?" Guanyin Niangniang said angrily, to be honest, Xue Chong had never seen her so angry, Xue Chong of course knew in his heart that it was really difficult for a strong man to do so, but Xue Chong had been waiting for rejection for a long time, and then proposed to change a lower-level person as a hostage.

Obviously, this time the battle between himself and the Fourteenth Prince for the heir, more competition, maybe it depends on the weight of the hostages he can win, this is the difference between the superior and the inferior, Xue Chong deeply understands this.

The Buddha smiled: "Of course I know that this is your father's will, but it is a verbal message. Do we have to have Guanyin go and take hostage?"

"Yes, when I was leaving, my father told me like this, and asked the Buddha not to be surprised?" Xue Chong said stiffly.

"Okay, since your father and emperor have said so, my Buddha will agree. ”

The Buddha said these words very calmly.

The Bodhisattvas and Manjushri said anxiously, "World-honored One, this--I'm afraid this is not good?"

The Buddha calmly looked at Guanyin Niangniang's somewhat surprised face, and said slowly: "I now understand what Your Majesty means, the reason why he wants us to send a hostage is just to eliminate his own worries, my Buddhism has never disrespected the meaning of heaven, and I have seen it, they are just asking for a reassurance, and they will not embarrass her, the third prince, what did your father say about this?"

Xue Chong was inexplicably surprised, patted his chest and said: "I can guarantee this, my father said that I am fully responsible, I dare to guarantee that our Heavenly Court will never embarrass Guanyin Niangniang, even if he is missing a hair, I dare to guarantee with my life." ”

Xue Chong said in a dignified manner, this has a great deal to do with him in the battle for succession, so he naturally wants to do his best to promote it.

Guanyin Niangniang's face finally calmed down, and she looked at the Buddha and said, "Shizun, after I leave, please ask someone to take charge of the affairs of the Buddha Gate?"

Although there was no trace of anger on her face, her tone was surprised, after all, it was still cold, and anyone could hear that Guanyin Niangniang was a little resistant to this decision of the West.

"Chiba, during the days when Guanyin left, you took her place and temporarily took the position of the sect. ”

"Yes, World-Honored One. Venerable Chiba said in surprise.

He never imagined that the Buddha would hand over such a heavy task to himself. He originally thought that after Guanyin left, it was logical that the person who served as the acting head of the sect would be either Puxian Bodhisattva or Manjushri Bodhisattva.

"Okay, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, we have agreed to all your requests, you can take Guanyin to the Heavenly Court to explain to your father and emperor now, is there anything else?"

"Thank you, Buddha, there's nothing else left. Xue Chong was overjoyed, he could no longer imagine that things would go so smoothly, he always thought that as long as the Buddha was willing to send the Fuxian Bodhisattva or Manjushri Bodhisattva to heaven as a hostage, it was already the limit of Buddhism, but what he didn't expect was that the Buddha agreed to himself in one bite and sent the head of the Buddhist sect - Guanyin Niangniang to be a hostage, which was something he could only mention, but he could never think of.

"Very good, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, then please go to the Zhike Hall and wait for a while, I still have a few words to say to the disciple. The Buddha said.

"Yes, Buddha. Xue Chong went out obediently, and under the leadership of a little novice, he went to the Zhike Hall to wait.

Obviously, before parting, the West has something to say to Guanyin Niangniang.

――――――

After Xue Chong left, the first person to speak was Fuxian Bodhisattva: "Shizun, the disciple really doesn't understand, why do we want Guanyin to be a hostage, this is a very dangerous thing?"

The Buddha's expression became solemn: "Today's Xuanqionggao God is no longer the Xuanqionggao of the past, he can kill people at any time, it may not only wipe out the Southern Barbarians and the Protoss, he may also lead troops to level my Lingshan, if we can't give him enough peace of mind, how can he make up his mind to go to the south and the north?"

Hearing this, Manjushri also became anxious: "World Venerable, do you want the Heavenly Court to really conquer the Nanban and the Protoss, you know, once the Heavenly Court has leveled the Nanban and the Protoss, it will aim at my Buddha Gate, why should we let him be satisfied?"

A wise smile appeared on the face of the Buddha: "You see you are all so nervous, but Guanyin seems a little calm, why is that?"

Guanyin Niangniang said respectfully: "Shizun, the disciple thinks that you are the most far-sighted person in the world, since you asked me to do something, it must be right. ”

In these words, there is a kind of absolute trust.

"I'm very pleased that you have so much trust in your teacher, but I still want to tell you the truth, in fact, Xuan Qionggao's ambition has been known for a long time. In order to wait until today, Xuan Qionggao has spent millions of years to accumulate strength, I have long known that he will do it, I have long known that he is not satisfied with the current power, he wants to obtain absolute power over the immortal world, he wants to become the first person in the past and present, unprecedented. When he had just seized the throne of the Heavenly Court, he was so deferential to me and Hongmeng, and he was cautious when he did anything to us, but now he finally showed his ambition, constantly giving us holy decrees, and constantly making us do things that we don't want to do. In fact, he did not necessarily want us to fight with the Nanban or the Protoss, in fact, his real purpose was to test the Buddhism and Taoism. He wants to find out what our true limit is, and then he can free up his hands to deal with the Nanban and the Protoss. Since he already wants to do it like this, why can't I fulfill him? What's more, with Guanyin's cultivation, even if he goes to Heaven and is trapped in the Heavenly Killing Formation, he will not have to worry about his life, even if he is no longer lawless, he can't ignore the power of my Buddhism. ”

Guanyin Bodhisattva's face changed: "World Venerable, do you hope that Xuanqiong Gao will really pacify the Southern Barbarians and the Divine Clan?"

The face of the Buddha showed an unpredictable look: "Xuan Qionggao once claimed that the heavenly machine technique he practiced was the most amazing martial arts in the heavens and the earth, throughout the ages, and you can know that in the past, present and future, you can see everything clearly, but in my opinion, the Dharma is boundless, and the Dharma is the most profound kung fu in the world." For so many years, I have been calculating the operation of heaven and earth, calculating the future of the fairy world, trying to find our true direction, but I have spent a lot of effort and energy, and I am still at a loss, maybe I have not found the real avenue. But time goes by inexorably, and we are all aging, do you know this pain?"

The expression of the Buddha revealed real sadness, a kind of compassion for others, and a kind of sadness that pities oneself, which can be said to be extremely sad.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was also infected by such a look: "World Venerable, what do you mean, the disciple still doesn't understand?"

The Buddha sighed and said, "Between heaven and earth, how difficult it is to obtain the true way, the supreme way, after studying the Dharma for so many millions of years, in my long life, in the long river of history, I feel a kind of confusion, a kind of nothingness, a kind of unexplained fear. I often think that the Dharma is already the highest kung fu in the world, and once I master the Dharma and cultivate the Dharma to the highest level, I will be able to be at ease, happy, and accomplish great things that no one has ever done before or since! Who doesn't want to be the first in the past or even in the future? It's just that many people just think about it in their hearts, and more people don't even think about it, maybe to be the first person in the past, what Xuan Qionggao is about to do may be right or wrong. ”

Guanyin Niangniang's face once again showed a confused look: "Shizun, the disciple can't understand your words anymore, is it right to invade others and kill people?"

With a flick of the Buddha's fingers, thousands of bright lights in front of him lit up, illuminating everything around, but it seemed that the faces of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva, Chiba Venerable, Kaye Venerable, and others were even more helpless, and their faces showed real confusion.

The words of the Buddha brought them into a whole new realm, a deep doubt, and if they did not solve this doubt, they might be restless. In the midst of these thousands of bright lights, the Buddha's expression was unusually solemn: "In the eyes of thousands of people in the world, killing, deliberately killing, this is a sin, a sin that cannot be forgiven, at least in the eyes of Buddhism, this should be wrong, and it is very wrong." However, we are people who have practiced all the way, and we know better in our hearts that sometimes what we get is often not what we deserve, in other words, what we get is often far greater than what we give. ”

"In the process of practicing, we have obtained a lot of resources, and we have been sacrificed by countless people to achieve ourselves, when we practice, we do not kill people, nor do we kill, but we still need aura, we need resources, so we kill the spirits of plants and trees, and use their efforts in exchange for the ascension of our realm, in the eyes of our Buddhism, killing people is killing, killing livestock is also killing, it is not right, but eating plants and trees, obtaining the aura between heaven and earth, to improve our own cultivation, this is a legitimate thing, but you take a step back and think about it: if we don't harvest the spirits of plants and trees to maintain our livesTo continue our practice, then these plants and trees will grow more and more luxuriantly, and even anything between heaven and earth is actually alive, and in every drop of water, there are 84,000 living beings. ”
