Time Bandit

What Styx and Ji Qing were talking about was also about the future of Buddhism. Facing the rise of Buddhism, how could anyone in the Taoist sect not think about it. 1 1

Ji Qing naturally expressed his attitude, that is to put the interests of Taoism first.Whether it was him punishing the two Buddhist disciples just now, or his conferring the gods to hinder the Western religion, Ji Qing had no way out at this moment and could only fight to the end.

Of course, there is also a way out. If Ji Qing wants to enter Buddhism, I am afraid that the two saints of the West will welcome him with four hands, but Ji Qing is not good at that.

More importantly, the luck of Buddhism is not stable. Even if the original Western religion's twelfth-rank golden lotus and two saints suppress luck are not as good as Taoism, let alone only the ninth-rank golden lotus is left.Although relying on the plan of Conferring the Gods and Catastrophe, the luck of the Western Church has greatly increased, but Ji Qing estimates that this may only be for a while, and the outcome after that will be very difficult to say.

Ming He didn't expect Ji Qing to be so straightforward, but his appreciation for Ji Qing increased by three points. After all, Ji Qing is a god of no sect like him. It is really rare to draw a clear line with Buddhism so simply.In this regard, he and Kunpeng are not so straightforward.

After talking for a while, Kunpeng and Minghe bid farewell to Haotian and the Queen Mother, and also announced the end of the peach feast.After they left, Ji Qing also bid farewell to Haotian and Queen Mother, and Zhen Yuan also left at the same time, and the two happened to go out together.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to come to my Longevity Mountain as a guest when you have time?" Zhenyuan was still very enthusiastic about Ji Qing, a young junior. No matter what he knew about Ji Qing's personality or his strength, he recognized him.

"That's natural. I've been fascinated by Daxian's ginseng fruit for a long time." Ji Qing chuckled, the relationship between him and Zhenyuan has become much closer after the Peach Banquet.

"Fellow daoist being a guest will naturally allow fellow daoist to fulfill his wish," Zhenyuan said with a smile.At this time, he remembered something, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

"Fellow daoist, who is this?!" Ji Qing asked concerned.

"I thought of my dead friend. Back then, most of the fruit from me got into his stomach. I was very angry with that guy before, but now I can only miss it in my memory." Zhen Yuan looked sad and sighed, looking into the distance, as if through time and space.

"Could it be Fellow Daoist Hongyun?!" Ji Qing asked speculatively, but this was actually the only possibility.

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist to know all of this. It's been so many years in a blink of an eye. Unfortunately, although my strength has improved in recent years, I still can't avenge my friend." Zhen Yuan said here, with a rather helpless expression.

This was the case at the Peach Banquet, otherwise, how could he be discouraged in a way similar to Wendou.Not to mention, he was facing two veteran quasi-sages who were similar to him.

"Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist Hongyun, haven't you been reincarnated for so many years?!" Although Ji Qing knew that the six realms of reincarnation hadn't been established at that time, a slightly stronger being could still be reborn after death, let alone Hongyun. Level up.Moreover, he did not believe that Hong Yun could die so thoroughly.

"I don't think my friend has completely disappeared, but I can't speculate when he will be able to return to the prehistoric world. Under the law of heaven, my level has not yet reached the point where I can see through everything." Zhenyuan said the same to Hongyun. There is an expectation, but the result depends on God's will.

Ji Qing also nodded, there is really no way, maybe the only ones who can understand all this are Tiandao and Daozu, right? !

As for Hong Yun, Ji Qing only thought that he was a self-inflicted unlucky person, so after talking a few words, he ended the topic.Then, Ji Qing broke up with Zhen Yuan, and disappeared amidst fluctuations in his figure.

Ji Qing, who left the Heavenly Court, did not return to the vicinity of Dashang, but turned to Xiniu Hezhou.Although this is also the location of Zhenyuan's dojo, but this time he came with a purpose, and naturally he didn't want Zhenyuan to join him.

Along the way, he was checking the information fed back by Taoist Ruyi, specifically the situation of the Western Sect's ashram located in Hezhou, Xiniu, and the surrounding human countries.

According to Ji Qing's request, Taoist Ruyi has been closely monitoring those human nations that believe in Western religions, and all those who may be the reincarnation of Duobao have been monitored.

At this moment, Buddhism has been established. Although these countries have not completely become Buddhist countries, the suspects have changed somewhat. Ji Qing is going to be among them to see if he can find the reincarnation of Duobao.

Ji Qing's purpose, of course, is to influence Duobao, such as the teachings of Hinayana Buddhism, Duobao's corpse beheading, and Duobao's future choices.As a close friend, Ji Qing doesn't want Duobao to abandon Taoism in the end, but also hopes that he will return one day.

Looking at the information sent by Taoist Ruyi, Ji Qing worked hard to calculate, but it was still difficult to find out, which made him underestimate in his heart, the saint is really cautious.

Therefore, Ji Qing could only stop halfway, and quietly waited for the possible result on a mountaintop in Hezhou, Xiniu.This possible result is the Siddhartha in his memory. Even if Duobao is not reincarnated by this name, as the future Hinayana leader, the extraordinary performance of being the only one in heaven and earth should not be missing.

Sure enough, five months later, Ji Qing saw a scene that made him happy.In a place where Western religions are prevalent and Buddhism has not yet spread, a king's queen was pregnant in October and gave birth to a baby under the worry-free tree.The baby comes out from the queen's right rib, can walk on the ground, walks seven steps in a circle, and grows a lotus step by step. 'At the same time, there are two dragons, one spitting warm water and the other spitting cold water, bathing him in a strange scene.

Ji Qing clapped his hands and laughed loudly. If it wasn't Duobao, who else could it be, that is, the person who made two dragons to bathe the baby? Ji Qing also knew him, it was the burning lamp.It's just that at this moment, the burning lamp is hidden in the void, but it is dressed as a monk, and the precious light colored glaze looks like a Buddha.

Burning lamp ancient Buddha? !Ji Qing shook his head and smiled slightly when he thought of the promise that the West had made to Ran Deng.He felt that Ran Deng was a little eager to enter Buddhism, and the future result was hard to say, especially when Ran Deng did not have the Sea God Orb.However, this is ultimately a personal matter of the lamp. The rise and fall of the future, good or bad, can only be borne by the lamp itself.

However, the appearance of Randeng verified Duobao's current reincarnation, that is, this little guy named Muni. He no longer had the name Siddhartha that Ji Qing was familiar with, and everything around his mother and father was the same. Something has changed.

Muni was gifted and intelligent. He was proficient in the five enlightenments and the four Vedas since he was a child.Although the Prince's noble life is rich and comfortable, but because he observed the disparity between the rich and the poor in society, the inequality of the four surnames, and the law of the jungle among all living beings, he especially felt the persecution of birth, old age, sickness and death, and the impermanence of life, so he became a monk to seek liberation. willingness and compassion.

Finally, at the age of 19, Muni went out of the palace at night to become a monk to practice Taoism.The king was very sad when he heard the news of the prince's renunciation. After sending people to persuade him to be ineffective, he sent five people to accompany him .

After becoming a monk, Muni first went to a well-known ascetic forest, and then to the royal city of another country.Afterwards, he visited the followers of the Shunya sect who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests near Wangcheng to practice meditation, but none of them were truly liberated.So he came to an ascetic forest under a big mountain, sat in meditation by the big river, and practiced asceticism.After six years, his body became emaciated and he still did not see the way.

Later, I realized that real practice is the middle way of practice that leaves both pain and happiness, but this is in harmony with the meaning of the mean.So he gave up unnecessary asceticism, walked across the river, accepted the offering of chyle from the shepherdess, and recovered his health.

Afterwards, he came under the bodhi tree, laid a vajra seat with auspicious grass, sat upright facing east, and swore: "If I don't prove the Tao today, I would rather break this body than afford this seat!"

At this time, a Taoist appeared, came to the Muni sitting under the Bodhi tree and began to harass him.

"Can you prove the Tao without getting up?" the Taoist said jokingly.Muni ignored it.

"Even if you turn into dust, this world is still bright and dark, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the green mountains and green waters" the Taoist chattered endlessly.Muni was still unaware.

Seeing this, the Taoist praised him secretly.However, his harassment continued, bombarding Muni indiscriminately like hundreds of millions of flies.

Seven days later, Muni couldn't take it anymore, because no matter how determined he was, the words of the Taoist in front of him kept appearing in his heart like whispers, taking root like gurgling water, lingering.

In desperation, Muni opened his eyes and argued with the Taoist with glaring eyes.

"Then how do you prove the Tao?" Muni asked the Taoist with a displeased face.

"I said, everything is a Taoist, you are the Tao, I am also the Tao, the Western religion is the Tao, and the Buddha is also the Tao." The Taoist had a square face at this moment, and began to explain his understanding.

It was Ji Qing who came, and before Ran Deng was about to show up to enlighten Duobao, he came out ahead of time to chat with Duobao's reincarnated Muni.

Ran Deng naturally saw who the other party was, thinking that this person is now a quasi-sage, Ran Deng looked helpless.Originally, he wanted to have a master-student status with Duobao's reincarnation this time, which can be regarded as a link between the past and the future of Buddhism.He can also use this to gain some merit.But now it seems that everything has been messed up by Ji Qing.However, despite being depressed, Ran Deng still has to wait here, waiting for Duobao to realize, turn around, and become a Buddha.

Duobao is destined to become a Buddha, so his understanding is the concept of Buddhism, but it already means Hinayana Buddha.After Ji Qing talked with him and debated with each other, some of Ji Qing's ideas were gradually absorbed by Muni, making his thoughts more mature.

Finally, Muni closed his eyes again, and Ji Qing stopped harassing him.Afterwards, Muni sat quietly under the tree for 49 days, overcame all kinds of internal and external demonic obstacles, and saw his true colors, which turned out to be Taoist Duobao.

At this moment, the secret is clear, even the great powers of the prehistoric quasi-sage level can feel the return of Duobao.It's just that at this time, Duobao has gone through countless reincarnations, looking at the wild land, with a look of exclamation on his face, and the Buddha's light is rippling all over his body.Obviously, from today on, Duobao will become a Buddhist.

"Didn't expect it to be a fellow daoist?! Duobao was able to turn around so quickly this time, please trouble fellow daoist." Duobao thanked Ji Qing.

"I was in the middle of a breakthrough at the time, so I was a step late. If I could, I would definitely stop fellow Taoists from reincarnating." Ji Qing spoke the truth, letting such a Taoist disciple who will become a quasi-sage in the future reincarnate to share the luck of Buddhism, It's too nonsense, it's not cost-effective, Ji Qing really doesn't know what the three saints think.
