The King of Fortune

Chapter 382 Conditions
Li Hentian, after Lao Tzu learned that Han Rong was going on an expedition, he used the method of Zifu to show his avatar, left the Heavenly Court, and went straight to Lingshan.

"Poverty Taishang Laojun, if you need to see the Tathagata, please inform me."

When I came to the foot of Lingshan Mountain, I was a little surprised by the sight in front of me. The core palace and pearl tower, the treasure house and the precious tower, the sun shines out, the purple flame clusters, the stupa pagoda is displayed, and the flower fragrance in the bowl is full of solemnity and holy land.

"Where do those who dare to ask come from?"

I saw a person walking out from the mountain, wearing brocade clothes, holding a jade fan, and wearing shoes, with a lazy look on his face, as if he had just woken up, but the Immortal Family is full of momentum, which makes people dare not underestimate it.

Lao Tzu laughed and said, "From the sky!"

"Taoist wait a moment."

The man turned around and was about to go up the mountain when he saw the Tathagata approaching him and said: "Jin Jiao, go down and do your work. This person is a distinguished guest, and I will personally receive you."

The Great Immortal of Golden Horn gave Lao Tzu a surprised look, and hid in the forest. Lao Tzu stepped forward and slapped his head, and Tathagata hurriedly saluted, and said, "It's a great honor for fellow Taoist to come to Lingshan. Please come inside."

Lao Tzu said: "Brother Dao, you are too polite. The poor Taoist is just presenting in front of Brother Dao as an incarnation. Please forgive me for being rude."

"It's okay."

Tathagata waved his hand, not paying attention at all.

The two went up to Lingshan, and the Tathagata invited Lao Tzu to a treasure pavilion and ordered Ananda to prepare tea.After Ananda went out, the Tathagata asked, "Fellow Taoist, how is this poor monk's spiritual mountain?"

Lao Tzu said: "Auspicious and auspicious, it is a holy scene, which is not inferior to the Bajing Palace in the past. Brother Taoist preaches here, according to the essence of Xiniu Hezhou, the great prosperity of Buddhism is just around the corner."

Tathagata said: "Fellow Daoist, this is an honor. Although the west is vast and sparsely populated, it is still full of hills. It is not easy to develop. For poor monks, the small land of Lingshan is enough."

Lao Tzu glanced at him, and said calmly: "Brother Dao is extremely talented, and he is also the ruler of the world. The people are suffering, there is not enough food, and naked clothes abound. How can Brother Dao ignore it?"

Tathagata's ambition, Lao Tzu can be said to have a clear understanding of the fire, and sneered at his words.

Tathagata sighed: "The poor monk is well aware of the suffering of the common people, so he wants to save the world from the sea of ​​suffering. Don't you know that there are eight sufferings in life, which are birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment and hatred, separation of love, not being able to ask, not being able to let go."

Lao Tzu is very smart, after thinking about it carefully, he understood the meaning of these words, and praised: "Brother Dao's realm is so deep, I am deeply impressed by the poor Daoist."

"Don't dare, Taoist friends are proficient in Taoist teachings, and poor monks are proficient in Buddhist principles. They have different fields and cannot be distinguished."

Ru said something back and forth, and looked at Lao Tzu with a pair of wise eyes.The two also chatted for a while, and I didn't hide anything, so he said: "Smart people don't say dark words, I am here as a poor Taoist, and I need the help of my brother."

An imperceptible gleam flashed in Tathagata's eyes, and he muttered: "What Fellow Daoist said may have something to do with the Luzhou demon's chaos in Beiju."

Tathagata is more concerned about the major events in the Three Realms. He smelled something unusual about the demons in Luzhou in Beiju making chaos and opposing the rule of heaven, but he couldn't guess who was behind the scenes. But when Lao Tzu came to Lingshan, he was sure. , this matter must have been promoted by San Qing.

It's just that he is a little puzzled, Sanqing occupies the innate boundless land and is uniquely blessed, why should they intervene in the affairs of Luzhou in Beiju? Could it be that they want to turn that piece of land into their territory.Not to mention that the Jade Emperor would not agree, Beiju Luzhou is not worth their trouble.

Lao Tzu said: "Brother Dao is right, that's exactly what happened."

The Tathagata nodded and said, "What do fellow Taoists need the poor monk to do."

Since Lao Tzu has something to ask for, he must be prepared to make his own conditions. Tathagata was secretly happy. He had just subdued Taoist Mosquito, and Taoism brought benefits again. It seems that good things come in pairs.Tathagata is not interested in why Lao Tzu intervenes in Beiju Luzhou. He is interested in what conditions Lao Tzu will offer.

I was surprised and asked, "Brother Dao isn't curious why Taoism is involved in it."

Tathagata shook his head and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, you have your own purpose in doing things. The poor monk is not a member of your Taoism, why should you care about it, understand cause and effect, but increase troubles for yourself, isn't it less comfortable!"

Laozi praised: "At the beginning, my teacher said that the west is quiet and comfortable, and it seems that it is true."

Tathagata said: "Friends of the Tao, poor monks participate in Buddhism, and the heart of Buddha is the mind of Zen, which lies in a quiet word. The so-called things turn according to the mind, the environment is created by the mind, and troubles are all born from the mind. When the mind is calm, all troubles go away. Let go of one thought, and all All thoughts are empty."

Lao Tzu nodded in agreement, and said: "Incisive, it seems that Buddhism and my way are really different."

"Fellow Daoist, it's still important to get down to business."

Tathagata smiled slightly, the Jade Emperor was guarding against himself and did not give him real power, but Lao Tzu opened a door to the outside world for himself. Does that mean that Buddhism is not far from stepping out of Lingshan.

Lao Tzu said: "Han Rong, Brother Dao must be no stranger."

"Naturally, Zhou replaced Shang because of the number of days, but this person went against the sky, and Zhou's luck was born and destroyed, but he survived this catastrophe. The two powers have been mixed together, and they are indeed the leaders of the younger generation."

Tathagata spoke slowly, Zhunti mentioned Han Rong in front of him several times, with anger and regret, he knew that Han Rong's talent was the best in the world.

Lao Tzu said: "This person has a deep hatred for Taoism. After becoming a famous person in front of the Jade Emperor, he secretly made plans to recruit talents for the heaven, restricting the development of my Taoism, and your Buddhism was also affected. For the long-term development of our two families, this person Never allowed to live in this world."

Tathagata said: "Fellow Taoist, my Buddhism is located in Anling Mountain, quiet and comfortable, and I have no conflict of interest with Heaven. Han Rong offended my Buddhism, which is a bit exaggerated. There are many talents in the disciples of Taoist friends, and now Han Rong has also gone to Luzhou in Beiju. This is a good opportunity to make a move, fellow daoists, why don't you make a plan early to solve this trouble in one fell swoop."

Lao Tzu also knew that the Tathagata would not scatter eagles when he did not see a rabbit, so he said, "If brother Dao is willing to help get rid of Han Rong's scourge, the poor Taoist will recruit his disciples back, and Taoism and Buddhism will be good together and help each other in the same boat."

Tathagata murmured: "If you want me to make a move, you can do it. But there is another condition, Tongtian must return the two magic weapons that Zhun mentioned, otherwise the poor monk can't agree to this matter."

"Brother Dao, you are a bit of a lion. Although Tongtian took Zhunti's magic weapon, there is something wrong. But your Buddhism instigated the three disciples of Yuanshi to rebel, which is unethical."

Lao Tzu was secretly angry.

But Tathagata said: "Brother Dao, you can't say that. These three people have a predestined relationship with my Buddhism, and they took the initiative to join. But Tongtian is stealing and plundering, how can we generalize it."

"you……"

Seeing Tathagata acting as if he was sure of himself, I really want to know as soon as I leave, at worst, I will do it myself to solve Han Rong.But thinking about the power behind Han Rong, he couldn't help hesitating, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, Pindao agrees to your terms."

"Pleasant to work with."

Tathagata smiled, he knew that Lao Tzu would agree, so he was not surprised at all.
