Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 590

No matter how powerful the imperial power is, it will not last long, and Shi Zhongkui also helped Li Shimin increase his life span by 20 years. When Li Shimin died, he would have to go to the underworld.

No matter how wise and powerful Li Shimin is, he is also worried about his future affairs.

That's how this waterway conference came about.

However, if Shi Zhongkui directly rescued Li Shimin from the underworld, Li Shimin, who had no good impression of Buddhism in the first place, would definitely move closer to Taoism.

It's a pity that no matter how much Shi Zhongkui wants to make trouble, he also understands that he can't really fight against the Western religion and the Jade Emperor.

And to be honest, although the Taishang Laojun has repeatedly condoned Shi Zhongkui's troubles with the Western religion, in fact, the old museum probably also hopes to form a team of learning from the scriptures.

During the Battle of the Conferred Gods, Saints Taiqing and Yuqing couldn't figure out the Zhuxian sword array set up by the leader of Tongtian, so they had to seek the help of other saints in order to draw four saints and destroy the Zhuxian sword that only the four saints could break together Array.

At the beginning, Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to find Empress Nuwa, but unfortunately Empress did not agree.

In the end, he could only order Guangchengzi to go to the west to find the two saints of the Western religion.

And the saint who received and guided did not agree at the beginning, and refused very tactfully, but the saint who was Zhunti was very active, persuading and guiding, and only then did the four saints get together.

Of course, there is a high probability that Yingying will be the good face and Zhunti will be the red face.

But in any case, the karma owed must be paid back, and this is how the Western religion flourished.

Lao Tzu actually regretted it afterwards, and this is how he turned Hu into a Buddha and divided Western religion.

So Shi Zhongkui knew very well that he would only seek death to oppose the things confirmed by Western religion, Jade Emperor and Taoism.
-
From Li Shimin's point of view, even the power of the Taoist sect can't be so great that it can crush the Buddhist school. This is why he has entered the underworld by himself, and the son-in-law is only helping each other, not saving each other.

Even the emperor likes to be jealous, and Li Shimin still thinks that if he is not safe, Taoism, like Buddhism, wants to show the power of gods and Buddhas to force himself, the emperor, to compromise.

However, people who are used to fighting, while habitually compromising, naturally understand that they will fight against each other.

Now that Changle is engaged to Shi Zhongkui, only by attracting his son-in-law and the teaching force behind him can he maintain the balance with the Buddhist school and stabilize the country.

Seeing that Shi Zhongkui appeared at the waterway meeting, how could Li Shimin let go of this opportunity.

He immediately entrusted him with the task of hosting the waterway conference.

One is to see if Taoism and Buddhism are really colluding, a nest of snakes and rats.

Second, there is also the idea of ​​dividing and intensifying the conflict between the two religions.

After hearing this, Shi Zhongkui's eyes lit up. If he hadn't had scruples, he would have disrupted this grand Buddhist event. Now that someone is personally appointed by the emperor, no matter whether you are a Bodhisattva or a Buddha, you have to recognize it.

And he is determined to try his best to win over and show favor to himself.

A group of mortal monks, no matter how unwilling and dared not to oppose Li Shimin's words at this time, lest the emperor be angry and hastily end this grand event that can obviously promote the reputation of Buddhism.

The old monk transformed from a Bodhisattva turned dark immediately.

Moreover, seeing a group of Buddhist disciples showing affection to Shi Zhongkui repeatedly, the Bodhisattva's expression became even uglier.

It's a pity that no matter how angry you are, you can't really kill these disciples, otherwise ghosts will believe in Western religion.

Not to mention the prosperous age when Buddhism was spread eastward.

Suppressing his anger, he watched Shi Zhongkui being surrounded by a group of monks and went up to the high platform. Even whoever was chosen to be the host of this waterway meeting would depend on Shi Zhongkui's face.

Of course, Shi Zhongkui would only choose Tang Seng, that is, the little monk named Jiang Liu'er.

Anyway, this child is your own seed, no matter how much you in the Western religion pay attention to becoming a monk, you will abandon all the secular world, but the grace of childbearing cannot be escaped.

Otherwise, the Tathagata would not have to recognize the peacock as the Buddha's mother at all.

Moreover, the peacock just swallowed the Tathagata into its stomach, and the Buddha came out of his body, so he had to recognize this relationship. Whether there is any secret in this is really hard to say.

According to Lao Tzu's statement of turning Hu into a Buddha, Tathagata was not a disciple of Western religion at first.

Suddenly an outsider came to be the boss. It's strange that the original disciples of the Western Sect had no other ideas.

With the help of the peacock swallowing the Buddha, it is considered a new life of the Buddha, which has nothing to do with the past.

Naturally, it can be regarded as getting rid of Lao Tzu's calculation of turning Hu into a Buddha.

But whether the Buddha is willing to recognize the peacock as the Buddha's mother, only the Tathagata himself knows.

Shi Zhongkui dawdled because he didn't choose the host of the waterway meeting on the spot, and naturally waited for the Bodhisattva to come to negotiate conditions.

Sure enough, that night, Shi Zhongkui, who was sitting in the main hall waiting, really waited for the Bodhisattva to come.

Of course, the Bodhisattva would not just ask Shi Zhongkui to choose Jiang Liuer.

Shi Zhongkui suppressed a smile, listened to the Bodhisattva's nonsense, even pretended not to understand, and started talking nonsense.

In the end, the Bodhisattva had no choice but to take out a mutton fat jade bottle, put it on the table and said, "I heard that the great governor is carrying a lotus platform of good fortune. Protective effect.

I just ask the governor of the capital to listen to the words of my Buddhist disciples when he presides over the waterway conference. "

As soon as Shi Zhongkui picked up the jade bottle, he lifted the lid and wanted to smell it, but then he thought about it, the person in the three worlds who likes to plot the most is the one in front of him.

Before he betrayed the teachings, Cihang Taoist was the most ruthless one, which is very similar to Yuanshi Tianzun.

After becoming a bodhisattva, when counting Sun Wukong, the bodhisattva didn't talk about compassion.

Sun Houzi was indeed wild and unruly, but he and Tang Seng ran away in a fit of anger after beating six mortals to death.

But after listening to the persuasion of Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, he finally obediently went back to find Tang Seng.

At that time, Sun Houzi actually planned to fulfill his promise to protect Tang Monk to learn Buddhist scriptures from the west.

If Tang Seng let go of his inner fear and sincerely persuaded and treated Sun Houzi, the master and apprentice could really form a master-student relationship.

But in the end, it was tight-knit, and Sun Houzi was really controlled by others.

Moreover, Tang Seng relied on deception to let Sun Houzi put on the magic spell, which is considered a direct breach of the precept.

If this kind of person is considered an eminent monk, then there is really no eminent monk to speak of.

Shi Zhongkui put away the jade bottle, and after a thought, he sent it to Tushita Palace, asked the golden horn and silver horn to be handed over to Laojun, and begged him to confirm the authenticity.

Seeing Shi Zhongkui being so cautious, the Bodhisattva secretly felt ashamed and regretful.

This time the Bodhisattva really didn't do any tricks, but he also meant to test it out.

It's a pity that Shi Zhongkui is really cunning and too cautious. One can imagine how difficult it will be to plot against him in the future.

Not long after, Shi Zhongkui heard Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao's prayers in his heart, and with a thought, he sent the jade bottle back and put it directly in the space warehouse.

Seeing the smiling face, the Bodhisattva knew that he must have verified the authenticity of the nectar, and he was suddenly surprised.

This kind of method is that she, the big Luo Jinxian, can't do it without any signs.
