Gao Wu: My martial arts training relies solely on hard work

Sure enough, he went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

Zhao Xuan asked casually: "Tell me and listen."

Xuanzang did not speak in a hurry, but glanced around, as if asking: "Say it here?"

Seeing that Zhao Xuan was indifferent, Xuanzang sighed and told the truth: "The poor monk is incompetent and failed to control the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple as the benefactor wished."

Zhao Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Buddha failed to take over the position of chief abbot and take control of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple?"

You can say that Xuan Zang is ruthless, but you cannot say that he is stupid, let alone incompetent.

With his scheming, strength and ruthless methods, it is really strange that he failed to defeat those old monks.

"What happened?"

Facing Zhao Xuan's confused inquiry, Xuan Zang smiled bitterly and pointed to the sky.

"My master died, and the poor monk is his direct disciple. He is also the only monk of the younger generation who has advanced to the Yin Shen realm on his own. Logically speaking, the position of chief abbot must belong to the poor monk."

"I don't know what happened, but overnight, many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats in the immortal world suddenly appeared in front of people and selected 'Holy Favorites' among the younger generation of disciples of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple."

"The junior fellow apprentices who originally had a thief's heart but no courage and did not dare to compete with the poor monks have become disloyal and want to establish their own schools."

"Even if the poor monk succeeds to the position of chief abbot, he may only be able to control half of the great Leiyin Temple. Famous ancient temples such as Lingyin Temple, Putuo Temple, Fahua Temple, etc. will all be separated from the control of the poor monk."

Zhao Xuan was stunned when he heard this.

Sure enough, it was someone in the fairy world who intervened, causing variables to arise out of thin air.

But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with him.

To be precise, a Buddhism in civil strife is more in line with his interests.

The monks were busy fighting among themselves, so it was easier to clean up.

Seeing that Zhao Xuan was silent, Xuanzang sighed: "Please also ask the donor to help and help the poor monk quell the civil strife."

Zhao Xuan shook his head: "First of all, this is an internal matter within Buddhism. It is not convenient for me, an outsider, to interfere."

"Secondly, since he is a holy follower of Buddha and Bodhisattva, he has extraordinary strength and is under the care of Buddha and Bodhisattva. With my strength, he may not be an opponent."

"I really can't help you, so I ask the Buddha to ask for someone else."

Xuanzang seemed to have expected what Zhao Xuan would say, and said seriously: "Donor, please listen to what the poor monk has to say."

"The World Honored One will never allow the division of Buddhism in the human world, so he issued an edict. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can provide care to the saints, but they cannot take action personally, otherwise they will never be lenient."

"Therefore, the donors do not have to worry about the Buddha and Bodhisattva taking action against the donors. They do not dare to disobey the World Honored One."

Zhao Xuan chuckled: "In that case, why didn't the World-Honored One stop those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from splitting up Buddhism? Isn't he worried that Buddhism would fall apart and be slaughtered by Taoism and the Celestial Sect?"

It's not that he can't trust Xuanzang, but this matter sounds strange.

Internal fighting will only benefit outsiders.

Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have no understanding, so it’s okay to live in a cave. Could it be that the World Honored One, the leader of the Buddhist sect, is also unclear about it?

Xuanzang's expression was gloomy: "The World Honored One indeed has this intention, but the ancient Buddha has advised that in a time of great strife, Buddhism in the human world needs to be led by people with both virtue and talent. It is not appropriate to follow old practices."

"If the new chief dies as mysteriously as his master, it will be a huge blow to Buddhism."

"Although the World-Honored One was unwilling, it was difficult to disgrace the ancient Buddha, so he agreed that the new generation of disciples should all compete for the position of great abbot."

"Besides, the World Honored One has said beforehand that Buddhist disciples can ask outsiders to help them, regardless of life or death, otherwise the poor monks will not come to bother the donor."

He came to Zhao Xuan for a reason.

If the Buddhas in the immortal world hadn't played this trick, why would he beg Zhao Xuan in such a low voice?

Zhao Xuan looked strange.

First, the group of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from the Immortal World of Buddhism came down to earth to select their holy followers while they were idle. Then the ancient Buddha proposed that people with both ability and political integrity be appointed as the great abbots of Buddhism in the human world.

Why does it look like it's done backwards?

This bald donkey dared to be secretive when asking for help from him, without telling the truth.

Zhao Xuan's attitude suddenly cooled down: "I really can't help. I want to go back to the mountain to practice, so I won't send the Buddhist disciples away. Please leave the Buddha disciples alone."

He saw off the guests decisively.

Xuanzang, however, remained motionless and promised: "After the matter is completed, the poor monk will, in the name of the great abbot of the Buddhist sect, name the donor the chief protector of Buddhism. He will be ranked alongside the poor monk and be respected by Buddhist disciples all over the world."

Based on his understanding of Zhao Xuan, if he wanted to persuade Zhao Xuan to help, empty talk would not do.

So he exchanged Zhao Xuan's hand on the condition of jointly leading the Buddhist sect.

But this didn't really appeal to Zhao Xuan.

The so-called chief protector is just a false name in his eyes.

Those monks didn't listen to him, so what could he do?

Kill one on sight?

But whether he has the title of "Chief Protector" or not does not affect his killing. So, what is this?

He, Zhao Xuan, is not a guy who is greedy for fame.

Zhao Xuan yawned: "Have you finished speaking?"

Xuanzang was slightly startled.

Zhao Xuan is not satisfied with the generous terms of sharing the Buddhist sect?

Does he want one whole piece?

What a big appetite.

Zhao Xuan looked at Xuan Zang calmly, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"Does Buddha want me to send you off?"

He deliberately accentuated the word "send".

The meaning is obvious, if you don't leave, I will take action.

Xuanzang didn't seem to hear the hidden meaning, and the light and dark in his eyes were uncertain.

"If the donor has other conditions, he can put them forward. It's not that they can't be discussed."

He certainly doesn't want to give up the entire Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, so what's the point of competing for the position of chief abbot?

But he couldn't think of any other conditions to persuade Zhao Xuan, so he had to let Zhao Xuan propose it himself.

Zhao Xuan shook his head: "I have no other conditions, and I don't want to get involved in this matter. Buddha, please come back."

First of all, he didn’t know what Buddhism could give him and couldn’t offer it.

Secondly, if Buddhism really wants what he wants, he doesn't have to get it by helping Xuanzang.

Isn’t Tao Sansheng eyeing Buddhism covetously?

If you deal with Buddhism together with him, you can get what you want.

Xuanzang was unwilling to fail and wanted to talk again.

Zhao Xuan's face darkened, and his whole body exuded a frightening aura of terror.

Xuanzang looked shocked, obviously not expecting that Zhao Xuan really planned to take action against him.

"The poor monk should retire first and come back to trouble the benefactor later."

He came to ask Zhao Xuan for help, not to cause trouble to Zhao Xuan.

The moment Zhao Xuan really showed his attitude, he chose to retreat.

But he did not give up, and planned to spend some time thinking about what Zhao Xuan wanted, and then come to Zhao Xuan again.

But he didn't know that when he deliberately concealed Zhao Xuan, it would be impossible to get Zhao Xuan's sincere help.

If Zhao Xuan is moved purely by profit, Zhao Xuan will also switch sides because of profit.

……

Three days later, Dao Sansheng sent three complete Dao fruits.

All of them are scorching and miraculous.

Xuanzang, who had been guarding outside Zhenwu Sect, chased after Dao Sansheng when he left.

The two of them talked for a long time on a barren mountain.

I don’t know what Xuanzang said, but it actually touched Tao Sansheng, and a lot of information was found out from his mouth.

Then Xuanzang confidently stepped onto the Zhenwu Sect and said, "Donor, all those who are selected as holy followers by the Buddha and Bodhisattvas have a trace of the aura of the Immortals and Buddhas. This aura can replenish the soul and improve their cultivation."

"The poor monk is willing to teach the benefactor the method of extracting the energy of immortals and Buddhas, and work with the benefactor to deal with those holy ones. I also ask the benefactor to agree."

Zhao Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Did Dao Sansheng teach you?"

The meeting between the two was not too secretive.

And his soul is powerful and he can see extremely far.

So I have this question.

Xuanzang decisively betrayed Dao Sansheng: "Daozi did give some advice to the poor monk."

Zhao Xuan said calmly: "Buddha will come back in a month."

Xuanzang only believed that Zhao Xuanru Dao Sansheng said that he had just killed more than ten Yin Shen realms and was in urgent need of recuperation.

So he responded decisively: "Okay."
