Chapter Eighty-Five: Our Lady Says Clearly, Disciples Are Priceless

However, Shakyamuni Buddha and Our Lady of Turtle Spirit rushed to Lion Camel Ridge one after another, and after a secret battle, they finally both appeared. Subsequently, the Turtle Spirit Mother and Shakyamuni Buddha exchanged words. Although the people of Buddhism are good at speaking, but it is only relatively speaking, if it is okay against the other two sects or the scattered immortal monks, but against the disciples of the upper sect, they are often defeated. The pretense of the Turtle Spirit Mother did not know it, and Shakyamuni Buddha was half angry.

After a few times, Shakyamuni Buddha had already laughed angrily at the Turtle Spirit Mother, and refused to entangle with it anymore, so he cut directly to the point and questioned the Turtle Spirit Mother.

And the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit listened to the words of Shakyamuni Buddha, but she still had that face, and said with a smile: "Daoyou's words are too much, the reason why Poor Dao ordered the six-eared junior brother to come is just to make this calamity more difficult." Taoist friends also know that the more difficult the journey to the west, the more merit will be obtained in the future. Poor Dao has good intentions, and Taoist friends don't appreciate it, so why do you still come to question Poor Dao, it's really a bit unreasonable. He shook his head pretending to be sad.

Shakyamuni Buddha listened to the words of Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit, and saw her face, but he couldn't laugh or cry. Secretly sighed: "Alas, my Buddhism is so skillful, but compared to the interception of teaching, it is still far behind." The poor monk only knows the highest level of ingenuity today. Thinking about it, Shakyamuni Buddha's eyes when he looked at the Turtle Spirit Mother also changed a little.

Seeing that Shakyamuni Buddha didn't look at it, but just stared at herself, she immediately had some doubts, and thought that she had some tools on her face, so she subconsciously touched her face.

Shakyamuni Buddha saw the action of the Turtle Spirit Virgin, immediately came back to his senses, thinking of what he had just moved, he couldn't help but blush, coughed lightly, covered up his embarrassment, and then said: "Fellow Daoist, I know what the truth is, and there are not many poor monks. The poor monk just wants to discuss a law with his fellow Taoists this time, otherwise how can the poor monk be worthy of the dead fellow disciples?"

When the Turtle Spirit Mother heard this, she frowned, not knowing how to answer. Shakyamuni Buddha has made it clear that if she is still messing around and pretending not to know, then she will be looked down upon. However, the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit really didn't know how to answer Shakyamuni Buddha's words, according to what she thought before, kill and kill, come here to scold, take the six ears and wait back, and the Buddha Shakyamuni did not dare to get rid of it.

But now, Shakyamuni Buddha has such a 'soft knife', but the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit doesn't know how to deal with it. After thinking about it for a while, Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit must be in her heart, but she decided to talk to Shakyamuni Buddha.

At that moment, I saw that the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit had a solemn face, and said: "There are too many Buddhist protégés in Daoyou Poor Dao, and the sect of Daoyou is still recruiting protégés, so it is intolerable to be so poor." Daoist friends also know that the momentum of my sect interception is enough to soar to the sky, even if the three sects such as Er are destroyed, it is not impossible, but why hasn't my sect done this?

When Shakyamuni Buddha heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then he lowered his head and thought about it.

Seeing this, the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit continued: "A disrespectful word, with the strength of my sect, even if the three sects of Daoyou are united, our sect will have victory and control. But my sect didn't do this, and my teacher, the Tongtian Sect Master, didn't put it like this. Why? Under the way of heaven, there is no one religion that exists alone. Moreover, my teacher Tongtian Sect Master is benevolent, and he knows that a lone branch is not spring, but a hundred flowers blooming is spring, so he did not take action. And among the many junior brothers and sisters of the poor Dao, there are also many people who are dissatisfied with the people of the three sects of Taoism, but we still endured it and did not have any radical acts. Just like in the old days, when the Jiuqu Yellow River Formation was fought, didn't the three junior sisters of Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao let Guangchengzi and the others go?

The words of Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit are true, with the current trend of intercepting the religion, even if the three religions of people, expoundation, and Buddhism are destroyed, it is not impossible, but the interception of the sect did not do this, because it was afraid of destroying the general trend of the Heavenly Dao. In the previous life, the sect was destroyed by the exposition of the religion and the union of the human religion and Buddhism, but what happened to the exposition of the religion in the end? It is not a mess, and even if the sect is intercepted, it is not much worse than the sect, and it is the human religion and Buddhism that will benefit in the end. At the time of the catastrophe of the end of the Dharma, both human religion and Buddhism flourished, but the exposition and interception of religion did not even have a name.

Such an ending is not unrelated to the exposition of the teachings, the destruction of the lost and the interception of the teachings, and the destruction of the general trend of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, Tongtian could not have done anything to destroy any of the lost religions, even Buddhism, which he hated so much.

At this time, Shakyamuni Buddha listened to the words of the Turtle Spirit Mother, but he hung his head and said nothing.

After a long time, Shakyamuni Buddha raised his head and said, "The words of Taoist friends are reasonable. But the poor monk didn't understand, you must know that no matter how many disciples I have in Buddhism, I am afraid that I will not be able to threaten the interception of Taoist friends. Moreover, the interception of Taoism is dominated by the two saints of Tongtian Sage and Houtu Niangniang, and it is even more worry-free. In this case, why do Daoists want to kill me next time and ruin my Buddhist luck? My Buddhism has never done anything to destroy the balance of heaven and Dao. He looked at the Turtle Spirit Mother with a puzzled expression.

As a matter of fact, Shakyamuni Buddha still has a sentence in his heart that has not yet come out, that is, why does the sect of sectarianism have to compete with other Buddhism everywhere? It stands to reason that the sect is located in the east, and the biggest enemy should be the religion of people and the teachings of the people, but the interception of religion is not right with Buddhism everywhere, and this makes Shakyamuni Buddha have a headache.

Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit listened to the words of Shakyamuni Buddha, thought for a while, and said, "The poor Tao understands the meaning of Taoist friends. Now that it has come to this point, there is nothing to hide from the poor road. This impact on the Buddhism of Taoist friends is not only for my own teaching, but also for people to teach and explain. ”

Hearing this, Shakyamuni Buddha frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

The Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit said with a smile: "My sect is now the number one sect in the flood wilderness, and even if it stagnates for a thousand years with this strength, I am afraid that the three sects will not be able to catch up." Hehe, the poor road is not to show off, you must know that this is both an advantage and a responsibility. Since I intercept the sect as the first major religion of the flood famine, I naturally want to contribute to the balance of the flood and famine. There are too many disciples of Daoist Buddhism, even if the number of our three sects combined is less than 10% of Buddhism, wouldn't this spoil the balance of the four religions?"

Hearing this, Shakyamuni Buddha glanced at the Turtle Spirit Mother suspiciously, and said: "Taoist friends also know that although I have many Buddhist protégés, all of them are not highly cultivated, and it is difficult to compare with the three religions of the East, and the West is barren and has few spiritual treasures, which is not comparable. If there are not many protégés, then there is nothing to be good at?

Hearing this, the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit flashed in her eyes, and said lightly: "Soon, Daoist friends will feel that the protégé is much more important than the spirit treasure. After a pause, he continued: "Poor Dao give Daoist friends a bottom line, before the next calamity comes, Daoist Buddhist protégés must not cross 10,000 numbers, if this number is passed, then Daoist friends don't blame Poor Dao for being ruthless." Each for his own master, not to refrain from doing it. Of course, if there is a lot of increase in the number of people and protégés of the two sects, then the poor Dao will also depend on the situation, and it will not make it difficult for Taoist friends. ”

Our Lady of Turtle Spirit said that the protégé is more important than the spirit treasure, but it is not a lie. In the past, the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit was of great importance to the protégés of the Holy Mother, and when the universe was dominated in the future, countless protégés would definitely be needed, and the protégés would naturally be much more precious than the spiritual treasure. In the end, the desolate universe is extremely vast, and there are many good spiritual treasures, but if there are not many protégés and cannot be explored, then it is not only spiritual treasures, even luck will be reduced.

Therefore, the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit dared to assert that the protégé was more important than the spirit treasure. It is precisely because of this that Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit wants to control the number of Buddhists and not let the sect fall too far behind.

Listening to the words of Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit, Shakyamuni Buddha looked at her deeply, and then said: "Since the Taoist friend is like this, the poor monk has nothing to say, and my Buddhism is to obey." Before the next eon, my Buddhist protégé will never cross 10,000 people. ”

Seeing that Shakyamuni Buddha agreed, Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit was overjoyed, and then sighed: "Alas, the Taoist friend is noble, and the poor Taoist is admired." In fact, the poor way is also not to refrain from doing it, if the Buddhism of other Taoist friends can become the first major religion of the flood famine, then you will naturally understand the painstaking nature of the poor way. After that, Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit glanced at Shakyamuni Buddha in a complicated way, but she felt a little guilty in her heart.

Although what Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit said before was true, and there was no falsehood, Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit still added a misleading meaning to it. Now seeing that Shakyamuni Buddha agreed without hesitation, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, but I felt a little guilty.

Shakyamuni Buddha listened to the words of the Turtle Spirit Mother, chuckled, and said, "Let's talk about it then." After that, he glanced at the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother again, and said: "Since this is the case, then this matter will not be investigated, and I hope that Daoist friends will release Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice, and I will go back to the West after this." ”

Hearing this, the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit bowed her head slightly, and said, "It should be like this." "Well, turn around and gesture to Liu'er.

Seeing this, Liu'er nodded his head, and then asked his subordinate demon to release Tang Sanzang.

After doing this, Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit turned to Shakyamuni Buddha again and said, "Since this matter is over, then the poor path will take its leave." After that, he nodded to Shakyamuni Buddha and the others, and then left with the six ears, the head immortal, the spirit tooth immortal, and the golden light immortal. As for the demons on the Lion Camel Ridge, they were also included in the twelve black lotuses by the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, although these demons are not in the climate, they are still good for miscellaneous work.

Looking at the Turtle Spirit Mother and the others in the distance, Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but ask: "Why did the Buddha give in so much? Although what the Turtle Spirit Mother said was reasonable, but according to the protégé, there were many biases, how could the Buddha be so wise, how could he easily follow it?"

Shakyamuni Buddha turned his head to look at Guanyin Bodhisattva and said with a smile: "Even if I don't promise, what can I do?"

Hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva was slightly stunned, and then lowered his head in embarrassment. Shakyamuni Buddha's words were to the point, and it was completely meaningless for them to promise or not, so could they still get rid of Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit and others?

Shakyamuni Buddha saw that Guanyin Bodhisattva was embarrassed, but he smiled and said: "There is no need for Venerable Guanyin to be like this, the reason why the poor monk promised to be a friend of the turtle spirit is that he has another plan." ”

"Oh?" Listening to Shakyamuni Buddha's words, Guanyin Bodhisattva answered softly, and then asked, "I don't know what the Buddha has planned?"

Shakyamuni Buddha looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva with a smile and said, "This matter is just the imagination of the poor monk, but there is nothing wrong with thinking about it." As for what...... Hehe, Venerable Guanyin, only need to think carefully about the words of the turtle spirit Taoist friend. At this point, Shakyamuni Buddha paused slightly, and then said: "If Venerable Guanyin guesses, he will never mention it to others, even if he is a disciple of my sect." ”

Hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva was slightly stunned, and then bowed his head and said: "The protégé must obey the Buddha's order." ”

Shakyamuni Buddha smiled slightly, then turned to Sun Wukong beside Guanyin Bodhisattva, and said: "Wukong must have understood the matter of learning scriptures these days. Oh, peace of mind, after this time, there will be no more catastrophes, and it won't be long before we will meet in Elysium. ”

Sun Wukong said with a smile: "Then the Buddha should prepare well, so that my old grandson can obtain the true scriptures in a beautiful way."

Shakyamuni Buddha laughed and said, "Hahahaha Wukong is at ease, the poor monk will definitely be ready." ”

Sun Wukong chuckled, and then said goodbye to Shakyamuni Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva and others, lowered the clouds, and went to find Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing Master and Apprentice
