Just learned the five thunders, the tricky anchor came to crack down on counterfeiting

Chapter 586: Mencius’ visit, Confucius’ transaction [big chapter]

The luck of the Buddhist kingdom blooms like a huge lotus flower.

It caused a sensation in the whole world.

At the same time, obscure Sanskrit sounds resounded throughout the entire Western Buddhist Kingdom.

Led by the nine great Buddhas, followed by the Bodhisattvas in the heavens, and hundreds of thousands of Arhats who revealed the truth, they all chanted loudly the name of my Buddha Tathagata in the spiritual mountain.

Later, the Great Leiyin Temple shone brightly in the world.

It indicates that the Buddha Tathagata is now returning to his place.

This news, without a doubt, caused a sensation in the entire upper world.

It caused an uproar in the world.

"The contemporary Buddha is back?"

"This is the true pillar of the Buddhist Kingdom!"

"It is said that the reason why the ancient heaven, which was so prosperous back then, collapsed was because of the plan behind this Tathagata Buddha!"

"Even the loneliness of Taoism is closely related to the Buddha's World Honored One. It's just that as the kalpas of the journey to the west were measured, the world's pattern was re-established, and that World Honored One no longer interfered with worldly affairs."

"I didn't expect that it would reappear in the world now?"

"Could this be related to the disappearance of the Buddha in the future? He will return to the Buddhist Kingdom?"

Countless immortals are talking about it, and all kinds of speculations are flying in the sky. The fame of Tathagata Buddha in the world is even greater than that of the Buddha and the lamp-burning saint in the past.

He is the true ancestor of the Buddhist Kingdom!

His reappearance in the world was no less shocking than the appearance of Lord Tongtian that day.

"Empress Nuwa, Ran Deng Buddha, Lord Tongtian, Holy Emperor Chong'en, and now the Tathagata has appeared again."

"Why do you feel like you have returned to the period of the Conferred Gods, when all the saints came to intervene in the world?"

"This is not a good thing. A catastrophe affecting the world may have quietly begun..."

"We need to find a way out as soon as possible..."

The ancient strong men have witnessed too many rises and falls, and have also experienced disasters in ancient history.

There are all kinds of signs right now.

They are all very similar to the precursors of troubled times in ancient history.

……

People in the world are panicked.

The Taoist heaven is also filled with a tense atmosphere.

There is no need to elaborate on the grievances between Taoism and Buddhism.

The return of the sage Tathagata to the Buddhist kingdom is naturally a dangerous signal to the Taoist heaven.

Especially the existence of Saint Chong'en.

The Taoist master forced Saint Chong'en back last time, which was a great sight. However, if Tathagata Buddha and Saint Chong'en come together, the situation may not be optimistic.

But, this is also a time when people are in panic.

A quasi-sage who was highly respected in the world came to heaven to visit Lin Heng.

"Confucian Meng Ke met Taixu Tianzun."

Taixu Palace is located in the 33rd level of heaven.

This is the forbidden palace designed by Shen Gongbao and built by all the immortals for Lin Heng after he was promoted to Heaven.

No one can set foot here without permission.

The sea of ​​luck is churning here, and in the fairy light shrouded in clouds and mist, a middle-aged man in a long shirt is paying homage to Lin Hengli.

"I wonder why Master Meng came here today?"

Lin Heng's whole body shone brightly, wrapped in purple gold fairy light, shaped like a heavenly dragon protecting his body.

He was surprised.

Mencius, a Confucian sage who had never interacted with Taoist court, unexpectedly came to visit.

Lin Heng had a good impression of Master Meng.

In the first round of saint seats, when he was in the Demon Realm and was besieged by more than a dozen quasi-sages, although Master Meng also participated, he had to persuade him with good words for a long time before finally taking action.

And Lin Heng could also feel that Master Meng had some reservations that day and did not want to harm his life.

Otherwise, under the circumstances at that time, the rules in the book of saints broke out in full force.

No matter how powerful I am, I can't hold on until the roaring dog comes with the lotus lantern.

"To be honest, Tianzun, Meng Ke came here today for nothing important. He just brought a few words on behalf of Confucius."

"Oh?"

Lin Heng was slightly surprised: "Confucius, do you want to tell me something?"

This made him somewhat unexpected.

Although the name of the Confucian sage Confucius is known to everyone.

But like other saints, he rarely came into the world, and during the period when he became famous, he had never been seen, so don't submit it.

Lin Heng did not expect that Confucius would actually have something to say to him.

"I wonder what Saint Kong wants to talk to Pindao?" Lin Heng asked, with doubtful eyes.

Mencius went straight to the point: "Confucius was inspired by Lao Tzu, the incarnation of the Taoist saint Taiqing, so he promised Taiqing saint that he would stop the Tathagata saint for a hundred years for Taoism."

"In these hundred years, the Tathagata saint will not take action against Taoism."

"Oh?" Lin Heng was a little surprised and murmured: "There are rumors in the world that when Confucius was searching for things in his early years, he had met our Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu. Unexpectedly..."

Lin Heng paused for a moment and suddenly asked: "I don't know, Master Meng, but from Confucius, did you know whether the Taiqing Patriarch I taught is doing well now?"

Mencius shook his head: "There is no question about this matter, and there is no answer to the question. I am also curious."

At this point, he pondered for a moment and then said: "Of course, maybe we can learn some secrets in the legendary Qingqiu."

"Qingqiu?" Lin Heng raised his eyebrows slightly: "The legendary ancestral land of the Fox Clan?"

"Yes."

"However, Qingqiu does not appear in the world. In earlier times, some people may have known its location. However, after traveling to the west, we have never heard of a fox clan coming out of Qingqiu's ancestral land."

"And if there are still people in the world who know the location of Qingqiu, then Meng Ke thinks..."

He paused and said: "There should be only the Great Sage Pingtian of Guitian Court, the Bull Demon King."

When Lin Heng heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He still remembers.

It seems that the King of Tota trapped the Bull Demon King in the Linglong Tower for hundreds of thousands of years, just to force him to find out where Qingqiu was...

"Master Meng, you are reminding me to look for Qingqiu."

"Or maybe you also want to find Qingqiu?"

Lin Heng asked, staring directly at Mencius.

Mencius looked magnanimous and said truthfully: "There is a great secret in Qingqiu. Everyone is curious about its whereabouts, and Meng Ke is no exception."

Lin Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Mencius for a long time, and then said: "Even if I want to find it, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this heavenly area."

"Is Tianzun worried about Holy Emperor Chong'en?"

"Yes."

Lin Heng smiled: "Of course, if Confucius can help stop the two saints, then the poor Taoist will have nothing to worry about."

Mencius was silent and looked directly at Lin Heng and said: "Tianzun is joking. Even if Confucius can stop the two saints, Tianzun must not dare to gamble, right?"

Lin Heng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Yes."

Ever since his last fight with Holy Emperor Chong'en, Lin Heng had already made up his mind that he would never step outside the realm of heaven and earth before he had the strength to truly fight against the saint!

Admittedly, he was very curious and worried about the situation of Taiqing Patriarch, the last remaining of the three founders of Taoism.

But there is no way Lin Heng would take the risk to find Qingqiu just to find out the news.

Because now I bear the fate of the entire Taoism!
Once you make a mistake, the consequences in heaven will be disastrous!
"Now that Tianzun can act with caution, Meng Ke can feel at ease."

"To be honest, there is one more thing that needs to happen during Meng Ke's trip."

Mencius said suddenly.

Lin Heng's eyes narrowed slightly: "Master Meng, please speak frankly."

Mencius waved his hand, and the sage's book fell into his palm.

Lin Hengzheng was confused and heard Mencius say: "Mencius wants to spread the teachings of Confucius and Saints in your heavenly court for a hundred years."

"After a hundred years, it will be best if Tianzun can block the Buddhist strife."

"If not, Sage Kong will protect the people who study in the world."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere froze slightly.

"So, is this the condition that Confucius promised me, Patriarch Taiqing, to stop the Tathagata for a hundred years?" Lin Heng said, with sharp eyes.

"No." Mencius said: "Even if the Heavenly Lord refuses, Confucius will still stop the Tathagata for a hundred years."

"Oh?" Lin Heng's eyes were complicated.

Mencius said bluntly: "There are also gaps between saints. Confucius became a saint through reading and followed his words and Dharma. It sounds terrible, but human power will eventually be exhausted."

"Now Master's road has almost come to an end."

"So, I also want to involve the incense path of Buddhism."

"In the next hundred years, Meng Ke will teach the people of heaven with the book of a saint. I hope that Confucius will become a teacher for all generations and be worshiped forever!"

"This is Confucius' purpose."

"Of course, the people who receive the teachings of the saint's book will also be enlightened and understand the truth, and their strength in heaven will definitely be greatly improved."

"So, this is not a condition between Confucius and Taiqing Sage, but should be regarded as a cooperation with Tianzun."

Mencius elaborated on the pros and cons without hiding anything. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and was extremely magnanimous.

Lin Heng was thoughtful, and after contemplating for a while, he said:
"At that time, the ancient heaven also cooperated with the Western Buddhist countries to come to the west to learn scriptures and to travel to the east for the world."

"But the final result, Master Meng, should be clear."

Mencius heard this and said calmly: "Meng Ke understands that the Lord of Heaven is worried, so there is one most important article in this sage's book."

"What?" Lin Heng asked.

"That is, Master of Heaven and Earth!"

Lin Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and Mencius said: "The Taoist Heaven has developed too fast, and the vast majority of living beings have no faith in the Heaven."

"But Meng Ke's hundreds of years of teachings will instill the principles of monarchy into the world."

"This is also the difference from the days when people traveled to the west to learn scriptures and traveled east to preach."

"Confucius, what you want to do is to be the teacher of all generations, not to fight for this moment's belief."

"On the contrary, Confucius knew that the road to Taoism and incense was difficult, and even with the founders of the Sanqing Dynasty above, although Tianzun carried Taoism on his shoulders, he believed in incense, and it was still difficult to rise."

"Therefore, Confucius will use this as a condition for preaching!"

"In addition, there is the most important point."

Mencius took a deep breath and said: "Like the Heavenly Lord, the Heavenly Lord cannot bear the suffering of all living beings. Confucius also has the heart to protect the poor people in the world and make them happy."

"But the Master is a saint after all, and he should not interfere in worldly affairs easily, unless it is for his own students."

"Therefore, a hundred years later, if the Heavenly Lord is in trouble, Master will have a reason to protect all sentient beings in Heaven."

"The stakes here are high. I hope Heavenly Lord can seriously consider this matter."

Meng Ke's tone was sincere and his expression was extremely solemn.

Lin Hengze said: "Ten years, Pindao will give Master Meng ten years first. I only want to see an obvious improvement in faith!"

"Master Meng, is it possible?"
