In the original work, there is also a slight mention of the immortals who later entered the Liberation Gate to become Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Historically, the controversy over the origin of these immortals and Buddhas has been around for a long time, and Zhang Zixing didn't bother to verify it, and he didn't care whether the immortals would become later Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in this world, but he copied them with slight modifications. At this time, when Western Christians were scarce and weak, listening to him say this really attracted the attention and the excitement of Zhun Ti.

In order to avoid the suspicion of the two saints in the West, Zhang Zixing also arranged some candidates in the interception of the sect. The Spirit Tooth Immortal, the Beard Immortal, the Golden Light Immortal, the Bilu Immortal, and the Golden Hoop Immortal were temporarily included in the "Sacrifice List".

Among them, the Spirit Tooth Immortal, the Bearded Immortal, and the Golden Light Immortal, who were originally mounts, were "promoted" to Bodhisattvas by Zhang Zixing's friendship, while the Bilu Immortal and the Golden Hoop Immortal were Buddhas. Zhang Zixing originally wanted to bring in the long-eared Dingguang Immortal, the biggest anti-bone boy in the sect, and set up a tribulation-ridden Pure Altar Messenger, but after thinking about it, this is too sorry for Brother Bajie, and he specially pointed out at the moment: There is a long-eared Dingguang Immortal inside, and even a person who is in the big hindrance, must be turned into ashes in order to make the luck of the Western Sect unimpeded.

As for Kong Xuan, Duobao Daoren, Wuyunxian and others, although they also had a similar fate in the original work, they were specially retained by Zhang Zixing. The original list of Lingya Immortals and others was just to abandon the car to protect the commander, to win the trust and lead to the mention, and these people who were close to them or had strong combat effectiveness could not be left to the Western Sect. There was once a saying that the Duobao Taoist was Shakyamuni, and Zhang Zixing deliberately put the quasi-Taoist in Shakyamuni's position in view of this...... These words were only heard from the three great kings, the Gandharva, and the envoy of joy: This Xiaoyaozi is simply too capable of talking, and he has painstakingly arranged so many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas! Will the two sect leaders believe this kind of nonsense?

To the surprise of the four of them, after hearing this, their sect leader, the Quasi-Daoist and the Daoist, looked at each other for a long time, and actually showed a thoughtful look and remained silent.

When the Zhun Tidao people were in the battle of the dog Rong, they secretly captured the fear of Liusun, but they saw that he had extraordinary qualifications, and he was afraid of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, so he deliberately indulged in kindness, but secretly promised that if there were difficulties in expounding the teachings, he could come to the West at any time to teach, and he would be treated favorably.

This matter is only known to the parties Zhun Ti and the fear of leaving the grandson, and now hearing that Zhang Zixing listed the fear of the grandson as the future Buddha of the three Buddhas, his mind can't help but be more active. While listening, the Daoist exchanged opinions with the Quasi-Daoist in the immortal consciousness, and his face gradually became solemn.

Zhang Zixing said again: "Although I am lucky to get a glimpse of the number of days, but the avenue is impermanent, and the number of killings and robberies now can also affect the future, and it is not immutable." Because of the previous self-imposed actions, your religion has hindered the path of fortune, and if it does not turn around, I am afraid that things will change in the future. It is necessary to judge the time, people and two potentials, and implement the 'parallel strategy' in order to lay a solid foundation for future prosperity. ”

The quasi-Taoist asked, "Ask Daoists, what is the strategy of 'parallelism'?"

Zhang Zixing listened to his question very politely, knowing that he had attached great importance to his words, and also made a straight face, and said: "The parallel strategy is to plan people and the trend of the sky at the same time. Harmony, the power of people, those people mentioned by the poor Dao, the two sect leaders should try to recruit as soon as possible, so as to meet the number of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the future. This is the perfect time, and there is no time to miss it. As for the situation of the day, I have a few words here, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

The Taoist spoke: "Please Taoist friends may wish to speak up." ”

Zhang Zixing said: "I had the courage to peek into the general trend of the future, but I felt that it was extremely vague, originally the way of heaven was the end of the great business, the Western Zhou Dynasty was prosperous, and I enjoyed the national fortune for 800 years. However, more than ten years ago, the general trend of the Heavenly Dao changed suddenly, and the number of great merchants had the appearance of prosperity and decline, but the number of Western Zhou Dynasty changed horizontally, so when the poor Dao finally chose to help the big businessmen. Now although Ji Fa is strong and self-reliant, he is unlucky and the people are unlucky, and this 'heavenly time' may not be on the side of the Western Zhou Dynasty. If the two sect leaders agree with what the poor Tao sees, they have the heart to change...... I should immediately go to the Song of Heaven to see the Son of Heaven and explain the matter. It is sure that the Son of Heaven will change his mind and change his policy of suppressing Western religion, and will allow the construction of temples in various parts of Middle-earth, and freely disseminate the teachings, so as to promote the trend of noble religion. But if you choose this item, you should not regenerate the heart of luck, or the left and right, and the two will tie the knot...... I wonder what the two saints think?"

Zhang Zixing's idea for the future of Dashang is that the sea is tolerant of all rivers and rivers, and tolerance is great. When the prosperity of a hundred schools of thought is restored, it is not a problem to have one more interpretation. Of course, this is only a preliminary idea, and it depends on the final result of the Battle of the Gods, if the Western Zhou wins, then this idea will lose its meaning.

When the Daoist and the Quasi-Daoist heard the word "harmony", they still nodded secretly, but when they heard the proposal of "Heavenly Time", they were very unexpected, and they were silent for a while: "Turn to support the Great Shang?"

This condition is indeed extremely tempting, and it cannot be ignored even if it is connected to the introduction and the quasi-mention. However, due to the fact that the six saints of Zixiao Palace were counting the trend of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the introduction and Zhun Ti were also among them, Shang destroyed Zhou Xing in person, and was affirmed by all the saints, so he was convinced. Now Xiaoyaozi is certainly the way to say, including the position of the previous Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and the policy of "harmony", which makes the two saints excited, if there is no matter of the six saints in the Western Zhou Dynasty, they should agree without thinking. However, at present, the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Great Shang Dynasty have become opposing trends, although the Great Shang has the upper hand, but in the end, the gas has been exhausted, not to mention that the Western Religion has seized the opportunity in the matter of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Western Religion has lagged behind, and it is no longer possible to make the big mistake of "principle surname".

The ownership of the kingship of the human realm does not mean much to the various religions, and taking advantage of this general trend of killing and robbery to compete for luck is the most important issue. Even if the number of days changes, the Western Sect will work together with the Sect to defeat the Sect and protect the Great Shang as proposed by Xiaoyaozi. With the momentum of Western religion, how can it compete with such "giants" as the Interception Sect in the future?

At present, the best way is to conform to the "number of days" and join forces with the teachings, and try to defeat the biggest enemy, the interception of teachings, and besides, compared with the interception of teachings, the competitor of the teachings is much easier to deal with, and with the human and tactical strategies that Xiaoyaozi just said, the Western religion is very likely to become the ultimate winner.

After exchanging opinions with each other, the Daoist and the Quasi-Daoist were both general thoughts, and after exchanging opinions with each other, they said: "Thank you Daoist for telling me such a great opportunity, but it is only the last thing, but it is a great consideration. ”

Seeing such an attitude of the Daoist, Zhang Zixing did not give up, and lobbied for a long time, but in the end he couldn't say that the two saints were moved, so he had to sigh secretly.

The Taoist said: "Whether it is in the cultivation of the root surname, or in the knowledge and insight, the Taoist is a unique talent, and he has the ability to spy on the future. Today, if I miss such a genius as a Taoist friend, it is really a pity for my teaching. What you said about joining the religion before, Daoist friends really don't think about it anymore?"

Zhang Zixing shook his head: "The sect leader is gracious, and Poor Dao can only apologize deeply." If it is really not time to fight with me, I have nothing to say, I should worship under the two saints, and if I am lucky to win, I hope that the sect leader will give the two lotus seeds of the past. ”

The usher looked at him with interest and said, "I don't know how you want to bet on the game?"

Zhang Zixing said: "I know a little about the art of escaping, can I ask the master to designate a formation, if I can escape in the big array, it will be my victory, if I can't get out, I will lose, how about it?"

When the quasi-Daoist and the Daoist heard that this was the condition, they couldn't help but groan: Xiaoyaozi's bet is indeed very simple, and the Western Sect also has several formations, such as the Buddha's Light Barrier, Hengsha Great Array, etc., but this Xiaoyaozi is extraordinary, although he says that he has a little escape technique, he must have another miraculous ability. This person has the upper level of the Golden Immortal, and his means are clever, and he has heard that he has experienced many great battles, and he is by no means comparable to ordinary immortals. If the five great kings are still there, they can cast the Vajra Wrath Array, and they will definitely be able to trap Xiaoyaozi. But now that the Five Great Ming Kings have lost two people, and even the eight tribes are only two left, so they can't form a formation.

If he takes the lead and Zhun Ti in person, he can only admit defeat if he has any magical powers. But Xiaoyaozi made it clear from the beginning that he was asking for a "designated" formation, not to single out a certain person. Even if it is a heads-up, as a saint who leads and is allowed to mention, he can't pull his face down on such an occasion and personally do it to a golden immortal, not to mention that they want Xiaoyaozi to really return to their hearts and "join the gang", and they want him to be convinced.

The Taoist secretly thought: the lotus seeds of the past life are extremely precious, and they are by no means comparable to ordinary elixirs, and the most important thing is that if they can win, they can make Xiaoyaozi become a member of the Western Sect, and this battle may not be defeated...... Considering that Xiaoyaozi is erudite and talented, and it is very likely that he is proficient in the mysteries of the formation, ordinary formations must be difficult to sleep, so why not use the twelve-rank lotus platform?

Although this is a bit of a suspicion of bullying the small, this is indeed within the conditions that Xiaoyaozi said, and it can also guarantee a steady victory. The Twelve Rank Lotus Terrace is an innate spiritual treasure, which can be called the strongest defensive thing in the world, if Xiao Yaozi is trapped with the Twelve Rank Lotus Array, no matter how proficient he is in the formation, but his cultivation is just a golden immortal, in the face of such an absolute power gap, he will definitely not be able to get out.

When the Daoist proposed to make a bet with the Twelve Rank Lotus Array, even the would-be Daoist couldn't help but show a different color, not to mention the dumbfounded Sanming King and the others -- it would not be surprising if Xiaoyaozi was a saint; even if he was a top-level Xuan Immortal, he could barely say it, but he was just a mere Golden Immortal, and he actually worked for the Sect Master Saint to use the Twelve Rank Lotus Terrace! This is also too "affordable" Xiaoyaozi!

When Zhang Zixing heard the proposal of the Taoist guide, he couldn't help but be stunned and smiled bitterly. Seeing that he was silent, the Taoist was also a little embarrassed, and said: "Don't worry, Daoist friends, I will not use any magical power to control the Twelve Rank Lotus Platform, no matter what method or magic weapon Daoist friends use, as long as I get out of the Lotus Platform, I will lose." ”

Zhang Zixing knew the power of the Twelve Rank Lotus Terrace Array, and hurriedly shook his head: "Isn't the saint joking?

At this moment, a boy came in to report: "Two saints, three of them claim to be the three friends of Huoyun Cave, and they are asking to see them at the bottom of the mountain. ”

Introduction: The Three Friends of the Fire Cloud Cave? These three Holy Emperors have no contact with Western religions, so what is the purpose of coming to Elysium today?

Although the three emperors are not saints, they also have a rank of body, and they dare not be rude, so they order the three kings to go down the mountain and welcome the three emperors up the mountain.

When Zhang Zixing heard that the Three Emperors were coming, he secretly rejoiced: It was just the right time...... The Three Emperors were introduced into the Hall of the Great Hung by the Three Great Ming Kings and saluted: "See the two saints." ”

After receiving and Zhun lifting up and returning the half-salute, Fu Xi saw Zhang Zixing, his face showed surprise, and asked, "Fellow Daoist, how can you be here?"

Zhang Zixing saluted: "I have seen the three Holy Emperors, and they want to ask for the lotus seed of the dead life, and they are fighting with the leading saints. ”

Shennong exclaimed: "Daoyou said that he once brought two Taoist companions to Huoyun Cave to ask me to save him, but unfortunately the Yuan Shen was severely injured, and with my medical skills, I can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, I can't imagine that Daoyou will come here for help." In order to lead the saint to the miraculous effect of the lotus seed, it will be able to work in one fell swoop, but the lotus seed of the past life is born from the innate spirit treasure of the twelve pins of the lotus platform, it is said that it takes hundreds of millions of years to get six, it is too precious, I am afraid of ......"

When Zhang Zixing and Kong Xuan went to Huoyun Cave, they asked Shennong for advice on how to heal Sanxiao, but Shennong was helpless about it. Because the Golden Jiao Scissors and the Mixed Yuan Jin Dou are the things of Sanxiao's mental sacrifice, and the three treasures and jade of the Yuan Shi Tianzun are extremely powerful, on the surface, the damage to the two magic weapons is not very serious, but in fact, they are severely damaged by the dark power of the chaotic power, so the Yuan Shen of Sanxiao has been almost irreparably seriously injured. Unless it is an innate spiritual creature such as a lotus seed in the past life, otherwise, even if the Tongtian Sect Master goes out, it will not be able to restore the third daughter. Today, Zhang Zixing took advantage of this to propose the matter of the death of the lotus, and a large part of the reason was for Sanxiao.

Zhang Zixing saw that Shennong deliberately asked such a question, and said with a sense of humor: "It is precisely because of this that I bet on entering the Western Sect, and make a gambling match with the leading saint, if I lose, I will join the Western Sect; if I win by luck, I can get the lotus seed from the saint." ”

Zhun Ti and the introduction saw that Zhang Zixing and the Three Emperors seemed to be familiar with each other, and they were slightly surprised, and heard from Shennong's mouth that he was in urgent need of the lotus seed in order to save the Taoist couple, and his doubts about Xiaoyaozi's motive for gambling couldn't help but be greatly reduced.

The Yellow Emperor frowned and asked, "Your cultivation is just a golden immortal, how can you have the ability to fight with the leading saint?"

Zhang Zixing replied: "I know that my cultivation is low, but I have studied a little bit in the study of formations, so I am bold and want to teach the Western Xuanqi formation as a bet. ”

Fu Xi showed a sudden expression: "So that's the case, the Taoist Formation Mystery is the best in the world, even if I am ashamed of myself, no wonder!"

The two sages of the Western Sect were surprised to hear that even Fu Xi, who was the most proficient in the art of Qimen Bagua, admitted that he was not Xiaoyaozi's opponent in terms of formation, but he was a little glad that he had decided to use the Twelve Rank Lotus Hua Array.

Fu Xi didn't ask any further, and smiled at the two saints of the Western Sect: "Two saints, this Xiaoyaozi is a person valued by the saints of the Eight Views Palace, and he is also an old friend of the three of us, so he is rude, and I ask the sect master for understanding." Today, we have taken the liberty of visiting to borrow something from you. ”

Before receiving the Taoist, he had heard Zhang Zixing talk about discussing the Tao with the sage Lao Tzu, and he had the personal experience of a quasi-Taoist person, and now he heard the Three Emperors say that he was "a person valued by the sages of the Eight Views Palace", and he was convinced that he was a very good friend - this Xiaoyaozi has a wide range of friends, and even the Holy Emperor of the Three Emperors has friendships, and if he can really enter the Western Religion, he is really a key figure in the great prosperity of this religion.

Thinking of this, the Taoist was much more determined to recruit Zhang Zixing into the sect, but he asked with a smile on his face, "I don't know what the three of you want to borrow?"

Zhang Zixing on the side also pricked up his ears and listened to what Fu Xi wanted to borrow: This Holy Emperor is good at everything, he just likes to sell Guanzi, and when he is in Huoyun Cave, he will beat around the bush, and he has always refused to explain happily, so he has a good appetite.

Fu Xi didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "The three of us want to borrow the innate strange thing of your sect for use, although this time it is presumptuous, I also ask the two saints to agree." ”

Zhang Zixing Daqi: There is such a thing, why haven't you heard of it?

When the person who received the Taoist heard the words "congenital strange things", he immediately frowned and said, "It's not that I'm stingy, it's just ...... The three Holy Emperors also knew about it...... Alas......"

Fu Xi seemed to have expected such an attitude towards the introduction, and said: "We also know that this request is too abrupt, if the sage is willing to borrow it, I should use the river map as collateral, what does the sage think?"

When he heard the word Hetu, surprise flashed in his eyes, but he still shook his head, and Zhun Ti on the side was silent, presumably agreeing with the decision to take over.

Seeing that the attitude of the guide was so resolute, Fu Xi sighed: "I have already asked for that thing from the Wa Palace, why don't you be like this Xiaoyaozi Taoist friend, and ask the saint to do a gambling match with the three of me, and the winner can get two things?"

When he heard that Fu Xi actually got "that thing" from the Wa Palace, he couldn't help but be moved.

The usher showed a deep expression and asked, "What is the intention of the three Majesties to do this?"

Fu Xi smiled: "This is a heavenly opportunity, and it should not be said lightly." I wonder what the Sect Master thinks of that bet?"

The quasi-Daoist spoke: "Brother Dao, the two things were originally one, and if they are one now, they will also be days, so I can't help but agree to His Majesty the Holy Emperor." ”

The Daoist heard what the Daoist said, and he really coveted the thing in the Wa Palace, so he nodded and said, "Since this is the case, according to the wishes of the three Majesies, I don't know how Your Majesty wants to gamble?"

Zhang Zixing listened to the introduction, and Zhun Ti was also very interested in "that thing", and he was very puzzled in his heart: these two sides are so mysterious, what is that innate strange thing?
