The mountains of South Vietnam, the Great Lei Yin Temple.

The Buddha looked at Maitreya, Jizo, and Guanyin, who were not visible on the avenue, and his face was gloomy like water.

The three heavens and men in the third realm fell to the first realm of heaven and man by mistake.

Although these three people did not have the opportunity to restore their original cultivation, how difficult was it to reunite the Great Dao Seed?

I don't know how long it will take to carefully cultivate the re-condensed Great Dao Seed to blossom and bear fruit.

At least in the Buddha's opinion, during the duration of this great controversy, it is difficult to expect these three people to be able to restore the cultivation of the third realm of heaven and man, even if the second realm is hanging.

At best, the three of them can only appear as the peak of the first realm of heaven and man, and in terms of the overall situation, they are not of much use.

Buddhism does not lack the first realm of heaven and man, what is lacking is the third realm of heaven and man who can be suppressed.

Especially after the realm of the three people fell, the Buddha Gate fell into the embarrassing situation of the third realm of the heavenless man.

Nothing can happen, the two Dao and Confucian families sent out the third realm of heaven and man, and the huge Buddha Gate can only let the Buddha Supreme go out in person.

The Buddha disregards his identity and takes action in person every time, where is the face of Buddhism?

Taking care of face, sending the second realm of heaven and man out of the horse, but not competing for Taoism and Confucianism, how to ensure the interests of Buddhism?

The two are in a dilemma, and in the long run, how can Buddhism compete with the Taoist and Confucian families for the Mandate of Heaven?

For the two culprits who caused this result, the Buddha's hatred was simply higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.

Emperor Qin's body was dead, and no matter how much the Buddha hated, he couldn't hate a dead man, so he could only point all his fingers at another culprit, the Tongtian Sword Master.

A trace of gloom flashed on the Buddha's face, and he said in a deep voice: "The three of you go back to live and raise, if you need anything, just tell your disciples to do it, Jin Cicada stays, and I have something to ask you." ”

The three Maitreya clasped their hands together and bowed: "I respectfully obey the decree of the World-Honored One, and we will retire." ”

After the three of them left, Xuantang touched his head to the ground and bowed: "I don't know what the World Venerable commands?"

The Buddha said in an indifferent tone: "This seat asks you, what is the strength of the secular dynasty established by the reincarnation of Emperor Xin in the east? If you raise the power of Nanyue, can you destroy it?"

Xuan Tang replied respectfully: "Back to the world, according to the disciple's inquiry, the reincarnation of Di Xin is named Xiang Ji, which is an old Chu nobleman with a very high prestige in Chu. ”

"This person rebuilt the Chu State four months ago, and he won the support of a large number of old Chu people, as well as the support of the old Chu nobles, and his strength was no less than that of South Vietnam. If it weren't for the fact that Chu had been destroyed by Qin for the second time, its strength would be even higher than that of South Vietnam. ”

"In the previous war against Qin, the 150,000 South Vietnamese army was unprepared and ambushed by its temporary ally Western Qin, so that the entire army was annihilated and suffered heavy losses in strength. ”

"If it had not been for the previous occupation of the three provinces of Nanyun, the losses of the First Battle of Qin would have been enough to devastate South Vietnam. ”

"Now that Li Xin, the former general of Qin, has surrendered to Western Qin, Chen Bingshu is at the junction of Nanyun, and South Vietnam has to arrange a large army to defend the city in case the other party leads the army south. ”

"In addition, with the strength of South Vietnam, at most 100,000 combatable troops will be gathered, and if they go out to conquer Chu, the outcome is really unpredictable. ”

The Buddha said indifferently: "How about adding 100,000 newly acquired Buddhist disciples?"

Xuantang was shocked, and stood on the spot, with an incredible look in his eyes. No. 3 Chinese Network

The 100,000 newly recruited Buddhist disciples are all carefully selected people with good fortune, which are originally specially used to glorify the Buddhist inheritance and increase and consolidate the fortune of Buddhism.

I didn't expect that the Buddha's idea of revenge on the Tongtian Sword Lord would be so firm that even the newly accepted 100,000 Buddhist disciples were willing to give up.

"Isn't it enough?"

The Buddha's indifferent voice fell again, Xuantang's forehead was faintly oozing sweat, and he bowed: "Back to the world, the newly recruited 100,000 Buddhist disciples are not in the army, and they have not yet been trained, they are no different from pigs and sheep on the battlefield, and they cannot change the situation of the war." ”

"And what about the Arhat Hall warrior monks you have carefully cultivated?"

Xuan Tang only felt bitter in his mouth when he heard this, saying that he was in charge of worldly affairs, but he often gave orders indiscriminately.

The Buddha's intention to go to the Chu State to take revenge on the Tongtian Sword Lord has been decided, Xuantang is powerless to dissuade him, and is about to respond, when he suddenly senses a breath of Haoran righteousness, and immediately swallows the words that are almost in his mouth.

Immediately after that, a long voice came from afar: "Confucian disciple Zhongyou, on the order of my teacher Confucian Sage, has come to meet the Buddha." ”

The indifference on the Buddha's face suddenly decreased a little, his attention no longer stayed on Xuantang, and a Buddha light gently popped out, and went straight to Haoran righteousness.

In an instant, the Buddha's light wrapped in a heroic and righteous Zhongyou returned to the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

The Buddha asked indifferently, "What did the Confucian sage send you to do?"

Zhong You bowed to the Buddha and said, "Back to the Buddha, my master and the Confucian Holy Sect came down to discuss the Buddhist Confucian alliance with the Buddha. ”

The Buddha's expression remained unchanged and asked, "Alliance, what kind of alliance method?"

Zhong You said with a smile on his face: "Of course, Buddhism and Confucianism are united, watching and helping each other, and dealing with the Daomen together. ”

"The Buddha should know that the strength of the Daomen is the strongest among the three religions, even if the Daomen is divided into two, the Kunlun Dao Palace and the Biyou Palace are fighting separately, and their strength is not worse than that of Buddhism and Confucianism, and even the strength of the Dao Palace is faintly stronger than that of Buddhism and Confucianism. ”

"My teacher and Confucian sage said that if Buddhism and Confucianism do not unite, the Mandate of Heaven will fall into the hands of Daomen without accident. If you want to compete for the Mandate of Heaven, only if Buddhism and Confucianism unite can you have a chance. ”

The Buddha asked, "Xuantang, what do you think?"

Xuantang bowed and said: "Back to the world, the disciple wants to ask this Confucian sage a few questions, and I hope that the world-honored one will allow it." ”

The Buddha was indifferent: "You shouldn't ask this seat about this, you should ask the Confucian saint disciple, and he is willing to answer your question." ”

Zhong You hurriedly said: "Although Xuantang Buddha asks, he will definitely know everything and say everything. ”

Xuan Tang smiled and said: "The poor monk is grateful to the sages for their understanding, the poor monk wants to ask, what does the so-called Confucian mutual help refer to?"

"Do you mean to help at critical times, or do you usually take a unified and collaborative action?" or do you just shout a few words from the side from beginning to end?"

Zhong You thought for a while and replied: "According to this, the understanding of my master's Confucian words should be the second type, a relatively important matter, which should be completed in a unified and cooperative manner. ”

After Xuantang got the answer, he immediately bowed to the Buddha and said: "Returning to the world, the combination is beneficial to both sides, and the disciple agrees to join forces with Confucianism to go to the Chu State." ”

Zhong You was stunned when he heard this, when did he say that he was going to go to Chu State?

The Buddha on the top of the main hall immediately nodded and said: "This is very good, please ask the Confucian saints to reply to the Confucian saints, and the Buddha is willing to conclude an alliance with Confucianism." ”

"After the alliance is concluded, please Confucianism fully cooperate with Buddhism to go to Chu. ”
