Chapter 519: Planning, Westward Conspiracy (First Update!)
"Traveling west to learn from the scriptures?"
The Jade Emperor's pupils shrank slightly, and his brows furrowed, of course he knew what it meant to travel west to learn scriptures!
It's just that the greatest benefit from this westward journey to learn scriptures is Buddhism, what does it have to do with Heavenly Court?
"Your Majesty, doesn't it mean that it is not very beneficial to travel west to learn from the Heavenly Court?"
The Buddha saw what the Jade Emperor was thinking, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Isn't it? The West Heaven learns the scriptures and spreads the scriptures in the East Soil, the power of the West Heaven Buddhism Gate will expand to the East Sheng Divine Continent, and the number of believers will also increase significantly, but for the Heavenly Court, there is no benefit, but the believers have to be distributed to the Buddha Gate, which is not beneficial but harmful, and will the Buddha agree to such a proposal?"
The Jade Emperor raised his eyes and glanced at the Buddha, and said lightly.
"Your Majesty's words are wrong!"
The Buddha waved his hand and said, "The Buddha is originally a family, but now the demon clan is powerful, and the trajectory of the Mandate of Heaven has also changed, this third immeasurable catastrophe of the Buddha Dao dispute may evolve into a competition for the power of all races, in this case, Your Majesty still wants to make the demon clan bigger for a small profit?"
"This ......"
The Jade Emperor frowned, if the words of the Buddha were indeed reasonable, but he was really a little unwilling to let him agree to the westward journey to learn the scriptures.
"Traveling west to learn from the scriptures is a plan that has been agreed on a long time ago, and now it is just implemented in advance, so why hesitate?"
Yuan Shi Tianzun spoke, "Your Majesty, the lesser of two evils, how to decide, don't you know?"
At the time of the battle of the gods, the two leaders of the Western Sect received the help of the Taoist and the quasi-Daoist to explain the sword formation of the immortals, and the gods were sealed, and the heavenly court was established, and the antecedents were planted, and the cycle of heaven was planted, and the third immeasurable catastrophe should have been the turn of Buddhism to prosper, which was regarded as the fruit of the year, although today's Western Heaven Buddhism was taken from the hands of Amitabha Buddha by the Buddha, but it is regarded as a lineage, and the cause and effect are naturally counted on the Buddhism.
If it weren't for the rebirth of Sun Wukong against the sky, he changed the trajectory of the Mandate of Heaven in the dark, and the westward journey to learn scriptures and the prosperity of Buddhism was originally the mandate of heaven, and now if the Buddha mentions this matter, it is just to let this destiny be completed in advance, in the eyes of Yuan Shi Tianzun, there is no more damage to the heavenly court, there is nothing to hesitate at all!
"Well, since it is the destiny of heaven, I won't say anything more, I should do this matter!"
The Jade Emperor finally nodded and agreed, let Buddhism benefit, it is a dispute between the two major sects of the human race, even if the interests of the heavenly court will be lost, but it can't hurt the fundamentals, but if the demon sect rises, in the end, it will not be a sectarian dispute, but a racial dispute, whether the heavenly court can keep it is two words!
Yuan Shi Tianzun is right, the lesser of two evils, there is nothing to hesitate about in this matter!
"Thank you, Your Majesty! The person who learns the scriptures has been decided, it is the golden cicada under the seat, and he has entered the reincarnation of the scriptures, and after the tenth life, he can accumulate enough merit to travel west to learn the scriptures, and what is lacking now is the person who protects the scriptures!"
A glint flashed in the eyes of the Buddha, and he said slowly, "The three of them remain the same, they are still the candidates calculated according to the trajectory of the Mandate of Heaven, the general of the rolling shutter, the marshal of Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng and the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea, Ao Lie, but the strength of these three people is not enough to deter the demons, and there is still a day to subdue the demons and subdue the demons with excellent mana along the way, and escort the reincarnation of the tenth golden cicada to the West Tianling Mountain, so that the eighty-one difficulties can be completed, so as to complete the great cause of learning from the scriptures in the west and suppress the demon clan again!"
"The Buddha is calculating, so it seems that if I don't agree, I won't be able to get along with myself?"
The Jade Emperor laughed, these candidates for the Buddha are really interesting, the curtain general is the commander of the Heavenly Court Imperial Forest Army, the Marshal of Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng is the commander of the Tianhe River Patrol Water Army, and Ao Lie is the prince of the Dragon Clan, they will inevitably get the immeasurable merit given by the Heavenly Dao in the end when they participate in the westward journey to learn the scriptures, and the majority of them belong to the West Heaven Buddha Gate and the rest are divided between the Heavenly Court and the Dragon Clan, unless he is stupid, this condition will never be refused!
"I don't know who the Buddha wants to be, who is the person with outstanding talent and strong mana?"
Yuan Shi Tianzun asked.
"Four Wasted Star Monarchs, Yuan Hong!"
The Buddha said in a deep voice, "Yuan Hong was originally a demon monkey with great powers, and after he died in the battle of the gods, he was named the Four Wasted Star Monarchs to serve in the heavenly court, and over the years, he has been limited by the god list, and his strength has been declining day by day, and all his arrogance has long been worn away! As long as His Majesty agrees to lift the restrictions on him from the god list and let him reincarnate with a contract, he will definitely be grateful to Dade and do his best to protect and learn the scriptures! With Yuan Hong's means, the demon clan forces on the way to learn the scriptures can also be wiped out, which can be regarded as weakening the power of the demon clan, what does Your Majesty think?"
"This is true!"
The Jade Emperor and Yuan Shi Tianzun glanced at each other, the choice of the Buddha is really reasonable, according to this, Yuan Hong is indeed the most suitable candidate!
Yuan Hong's body is a gibbon monkey, and he is also a spirit monkey raised by nature, and he has also practiced eight and nine Xuangong, proficient in the way of seventy-two changes, and can compete with Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun Yang Jian in the same realm at the peak of his combat power, although it is not as good as the demon monkey Sun Wukong, but it can be regarded as quite rare!
If it weren't for the suppression of the god list and the deterioration of his strength, Yuan Hong would not have been idle in the heavenly court, as long as the Jade Emperor promised to lift the restrictions on the god list and let him regain his freedom, he was absolutely willing to sign a contract and become the protector of the scriptures on his journey to the west!
"Okay, I can agree to let Yuan Hong be the protector of the scriptures, but the contract must be signed by me and him, and the power of merit on his body will belong to the heavenly court after the scriptures are successfully obtained, how about it?"
The Jade Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he made a decision with a clenched fist, his eyes looked at the Buddha Rulai, and at the same time, he also turned around on the face of the Ancient Buddha.
"Your Majesty is wise and brave, this seat admires!
After the Buddha and the Ancient Buddha exchanged a look, they nodded in response, and a smug laugh sounded in the hall, and a westward conspiracy against the demon clan was decided!
Outside the Great Lei Yin Temple.
Fugen Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva each put their ears on an earthen microphone, listening to the sound coming from the earthen microphone, their eyes shining with strange light.
This is the way Guanyin Bodhisattva thought of eavesdropping, listening to the content of the conversation between the Buddha and the Jade Emperor, or learned from the mortal world, is to use pieces of paper to make two earpieces, the middle is connected by cotton thread, one end is placed in the treasure hall of the Great Lei Yin Temple, and the other end is sewn along the ground with cotton thread to extend to the outside of the hall, and the sound of the conversation between the Buddha and others will be transmitted out in the slightest.
This method is extremely simple, but it is the most effective, this eavesdropping tool made of paper and thread does not have the slightest aura fluctuation, will not be detected by the Buddha and others, and is not affected by the soundproof barrier, now it is the third immeasurable tribulation, the destiny of heaven is in chaos, and the calculation ability of the heavenly sage cannot be brought into play, the Buddha and others would not have thought that someone would eavesdrop on their conversation in such a way!
