Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 762 White Tiger Tribe

In fact, from Zhu Qi himself to Tianqi Rensheng Emperor (the gourd clone), to Gouchen Emperor (the Spiritual Stone Monkey), and Xuanzang (the Golden Cicada), they all intentionally or unintentionally made things difficult for Buddhism! But if we talk about the reasons why they made things difficult for Buddhism, I am afraid that even they themselves are not clear.

Although Buddhism is not as great as Xuanmen, it is also a great religion of saints. However, Zhu Qi seems to be naturally incompatible with Buddhism and often makes things difficult for Buddhism!
Buddhism suffered a great loss from the fact that Zhu Qi assisted Kuiniu in the rise of Jiejiao. Not to mention other things, just the return of the three thousand Jie Buddhas to Jiejiao seriously damaged the vitality of the current Buddha lineage of Duobao Tathagata. When the Didi lineage under the command of Tianqi Rensheng Emperor rose, they also snatched the faith of all living beings from Buddhism, causing a great decline in the popularity of Buddhism. In addition, the fact that Emperor Gouchen (the Spiritual Stone Monkey) was plotting against Buddhism was widely circulated in the heavens and all worlds, making Buddhism a laughing stock.

As a puppet of the fierce beast Chaos, although Jin Chanzi was born in Buddhism and had a profound knowledge of Buddhism, he had no respect for Buddhism. At this time, Xuanzang looked at the tiger demon with a pure aura from afar, and a flash of hostility flashed in his eyes. It was not so easy for Buddhism to control the catastrophe of heaven and earth, and Xuanzang would not be instructed by Buddhism.

Just as Xuanzang was walking slowly towards the evil mountain, the heavens and all the worlds were bustling with activity!

As the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara who had participated in the Tang Dynasty's Imperial Master Dharma Assembly, and the person in charge of the great calamity of heaven and earth led by Buddhism, Avalokitesvara naturally could not avoid the negotiation between Buddhism and the Tang Dynasty. And this time Buddhism was indeed at a disadvantage, so Avalokitesvara had to go to the Tang Dynasty even if she did not want to.

Outside the city of Chang'an, Guanyin Bodhisattva held Li Shimin's edict, looked at Chang'an City with a complicated expression, and then turned and left.

Chang'an City is the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty. Even Guanyin Bodhisattva would not dare to act recklessly in Chang'an City!
Li Shimin’s edict to Buddhism was very simple, it was just to tell Buddhism that the human race was not prepared to go deep into the catastrophe!
Guanyin Bodhisattva didn’t know whether the human race really didn’t want to enter the great catastrophe, or whether they were dissatisfied with Buddhism because of Xuanzang.

But Li Shimin had Guanyin Bodhisattva stopped outside Chang'an City, and even refused to let her enter Chang'an City. It was obvious that the human race had a lot of opinions about Buddhism. Guanyin Bodhisattva knew that even if she met Li Shimin now, she would not be able to reach any results. Guanyin Bodhisattva turned around and left, not wanting to lose face for Buddhism. If the Tang Dynasty spoke ill of Guanyin Bodhisattva outside Chang'an City, I'm afraid the people of the Tang Dynasty and the heavens and the world would have a lot of jokes.

However, Guanyin Bodhisattva left, but she did not go far. Regardless of whether the human race was expressing dissatisfaction with Buddhism or was really unintentional about the catastrophe of heaven and earth, Buddhism must compensate the human race for the losses it suffered.

The great catastrophe of heaven and earth is only an opportunity for the rise of Buddhism, and the human race is the support for the rise of Buddhism. If the human race rejects Buddhism, Buddhism cannot flourish among the human race. In this case, Buddhism has gained enough benefits in the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, and the flourishing of Buddhism is like a castle on the beach, with an unstable foundation.

Guanyin Bodhisattva tried to find another opportunity to communicate with Li Shimin outside the city of Chang'an.

At this time, Li Shimin looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhuge, Jin Chanzi seems to have some problems."

Zhuge Liang nodded and smiled, "Your Majesty has a keen eye. Jin Chanzi has reincarnated for nine generations but never returned to Buddhism. Something must have happened in the middle. Although Xuanzang, the tenth generation of Jin Chanzi, grew up in a Buddhist temple, the teachings of Buddhism for more than ten years cannot be compared with reincarnation for nine generations."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Sir, do you think Xuanzang will make Buddhism's plan fail?"

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say! Jin Chanzi is a disciple of Duobao Tathagata, and this Master Xuanzang is also proficient in Buddhism. Although he does not agree with the current Buddhism, he still believes in Buddhism. As for whether there will be a conflict between him and Buddhism, it is difficult to determine at this time."

Although Xuanzang's oath to the heavens made all the heavens and the worlds know that there was a gap between him and Buddhism, no one could tell whether Xuanzang was hostile to Buddhism. Although Zhuge Liang was a rare wise man, the human heart was the most difficult to read, so how could Zhuge Liang calculate the human heart? Li Shimin nodded in approval when he heard this.

At this time, Li Shimin glanced outside Chang'an City and said with a little worry: "Sir, after all, Guanyin Bodhisattva is a great power in Buddhism. Isn't it a bit too much for the Tang Dynasty to do this?" Zhuge Liang gently waved the goose feather fan and said calmly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Tang Dynasty now represents the entire human race. Not to mention Guanyin Bodhisattva, even if Duobao Tathagata comes in person, he dare not say anything to the Tang Dynasty."

Seeing Li Shimin still somewhat worried, Zhuge Liang continued, "Your Majesty, it is our human race that has suffered from Xuanzang's Heavenly Oath. Buddhism is based on the human race. If our human race is dissatisfied with Buddhism, the opportunity for Buddhism to flourish will be cut by 30%. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is for the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism will definitely come to us to make peace with the human race and compensate for the lost interests of the human race."

As the founding emperor, Li Shimin was not unaware of this, but his vision was limited to the Tang Dynasty, and he was not as clear-headed as Zhuge Liang in seeing the overall situation.

Seeing Zhuge Liang so confident, Li Shimin said nothing more.

The human race has lost such a huge benefit due to Xuanzang, so it is only right that Guanyin Bodhisattva should be left out!

Just as Li Shimin was deep in thought, Zhuge Liang whispered, "After crossing Shuangcha Ridge, we will reach Liangjie Mountain!"

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Buddhism is really powerful. It even bewitched the White Tiger Clan!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "This descendant of the White Tiger clan entered Shuangchaling, it should not be secretly bewitched by Buddhism."

Li Shimin was shocked and said, "Is the White Tiger Clan about to be born?"

Zhuge Liang then shook his head and said, "It is impossible for the White Tiger Clan to appear. Without the approval of the sacred beast White Tiger, the White Tiger Clan will never intervene in the affairs of the heavens and the myriad worlds on a large scale. In addition, since the Dragon and Phoenix Catastrophe, the bloodline of the White Tiger Clan has rarely left the White Tiger Ancestral Land. The bloodline of this tiger monster is not weak, and it must have come from the White Tiger Ancestral Land. Although Buddhism is a great religion of saints, the Buddhists do not have the courage to go to the White Clan Ancestral Land to tempt the pure-blooded White Tiger to enter the Heaven and Earth Catastrophe."

Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "Is it that Buddhism and the White Tiger Clan have reached an alliance or a deal?"

Zhuge Liang nodded this time and said, "That's my guess too. The White Tiger Clan has the sacred white tiger as its guardian. If Buddhism secretly bewitches the pure-blooded white tiger into a calamity and something goes wrong, the great calamity of heaven and earth is likely to affect the White Tiger Clan. At that time, the White Tiger Clan will be in trouble with Buddhism, and I'm afraid Buddhism will be difficult to stabilize."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and asked, "Mr. Zhuge, the White Tiger Clan is so powerful that even Buddhism is afraid of it!"

Zhuge Liang said softly: "According to the records of the tribe, the five ancient sacred beast tribes, the Dragon Tribe, the Phoenix Tribe, the Qilin Tribe, the White Tiger Tribe, and the Black Tortoise Tribe, are not much weaker than the two tribes of witches and liches, even if their strength is not as good as theirs."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but take a breath!
