Chapter 333 Make a bet
As soon as Sun Wukong heard Lu Fengqiu's self-introduction of his family, he quickly searched for the memory of Qingyunzi in his mind, but among the gods and Buddhas in the sky, he had never heard of such a fairy god named Qingyunzi.

Monkey King couldn't see how deep Lu Fengqiu's roots were, but he could feel the unfathomable aura emanating from Lu Fengqiu.

Since he was born, he has seen countless gods and buddhas, and since he has achieved great supernatural powers, there are no more than one hand who can give such a sense of inscrutability.

Sun Wukong secretly thought, this Qingyunzi must be some great god hidden in the Three Realms.

For some reason, the more Monkey King looked at Lu Fengqiu, the more he felt a sense of deja vu in Lu Fengqiu.

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong acted like a good boy, rolled his eyes, and said to Lu Fengqiu: "It turns out that it is Daoist Qingyunzi, rare, rare."

"I don't know where Changxianju is? Why did you come to Chang'an City to play?"

Lu Fengqiu smiled lightly, and said: "The poor Taoist came here just to form a relationship with a few of you."

Hearing the words, Sun Wukong rolled his eyes again, and thought to himself: "This Qingyunzi is a fairy god who came out of nowhere, he must not be an unknown person in the Three Realms, why did he come to form a relationship with us for no reason? "

"It's weird, it's weird!"

Sun Wukong was muttering in his heart, but he said: "Before, my old grandson heard what the Taoist priest said, and he seemed to have a lot of complaints about this West Heaven Lingshan."

Lu Fengqiu shook his head and said: "That's not true, Pindao just said some doubts about Pindao."

"As far as Pingdao knows, the Tathagata Buddha sent the Eight Great Vajras to escort the four of you, master and apprentice, back to the Tang Dynasty to deliver scriptures."

"It only took eight days for you to go back and forth to deliver the scriptures, and the Eight Great Vajras are still waiting for you master and apprentice in the clouds, and return to Lingshan to pay the order!"

When Sun Wukong heard this, his heart skipped a beat. This Taoist really has great powers, and he even knew about them returning to Lingshan for a few days after sending the scriptures.

At this moment, Zhu Bajie on the side murmured: "You are so boring. Could it be that you are envious of Master and my brothers and sisters who are about to go to the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain to become a Buddha, so you come to form a fate with us on purpose?"

Tang Sanzang shook his head slightly after hearing this, he didn't think it was quite like it.

Sun Wukong glanced at Zhu Bajie and remained calm.

Lu Fengqiu continued: "Why do you say it is the method of karmic affinity? It is because no one understands the scriptures, and no one passes them on. Even if you come to this eastern land, what can you do?"

"Since the scriptures are so hard to find, you have to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships before you can get them."

"Why are you in a hurry to go back to Lingshan?"

"Sanzang, do you still remember why you learned the scriptures?"

Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together and said, "Of course I remember, the poor monk only asked for the scriptures for the salvation of all sentient beings!"

Lu Fengqiu chuckled, thinking to himself, he came to Chang'an to start by digging the wall.

It's not that Tang Seng and his disciples are now instigating rebellion and making them defect from Buddhism.

That's not realistic.

What he did was nothing more than to show an attitude of the Daoist sect!

Going west to learn scriptures is nothing more than Tathagata seeing that there are many ordinary people in Nanzhan Buzhou and few Buddhist believers. Tathagata wants to get a piece of the pie from Nanzhan Buzhou, so he started planning to go west to learn scriptures.

However, Nanzhan Buzhou was originally the site of Taoism. Although Buddhism had been introduced to China in the Han Dynasty, it has not been considered prosperous.

Tathagata fell in love with the big cake of Nanzhan Buzhou, so he spread Buddhism to the east and wanted to get a share of the Taoist pie.

Taoism is natural, Taishang Daozu will not intervene in the preaching of any world, as the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual.

The Taoist ancestors preached, and what they left behind were seeds.

As for how the seeds take root and germinate, it is something that people did later.

The same is true of this side of the world.

Daozu obviously has an incarnation in this world, but he seldom shows up.

That's why Tathagata dared to stretch his hand into Nanzhan Buzhou unscrupulously.

Because the Tathagata understands that Taishang Daozu's Taoism is natural, and knows what kind of person Taishang Daozu is.

Among the disciples and grandchildren of Taoism today, it can be said that there is no one who has the ability to wrestle with the Tathagata.

That's why, Taishang Daozu would bring Lu Fengqiu back.

The important task of preaching was given to Lu Fengqiu because Lu Fengqiu was the one who had the heavy responsibility of preaching.

Although Lu Fengqiu obtained the Dharma from the Taishang Daozu, but unlike the Taishang Daozu, he prefers to practice it personally.

Speaking of which, Lu Fengqiu is the true founder of Taoism.

In the past, Taoist ancestor incarnated as Lao Tzu to teach the Dharma, and Xuandu incarnated as Yin Xi entered the world together with Taoist ancestor, creating the lineage of Wenshi, and Taoism has just begun.

Now, Lu Fengqiu has merged with his previous life, so it can be said that he is Xuandu and also Yin Xi.

He believes that the Tathagata will know what he and Tang Seng and his disciples said today.

What he shakes is Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice's devotion to Lingshan.

Once Tathagata knows this, he will naturally deduce his identity, but how much he can deduce is not certain.

Thinking of this, Lu Fengqiu continued: "Since you are seeking the scriptures for the salvation of all living beings, why are you in such a hurry to become a Buddha?"

"Could it be that if you don't become a Buddha, you can't save all living beings?"

"Isn't what you did before promoting Buddhism and saving sentient beings?"

Tang Sanzang didn't know why Lu Fengqiu made such a statement, but he had already paid attention to it in secret, and said directly: "It's not that Sanzang is in a hurry to become a Buddha, but because Sanzang became a Buddha in order to better save sentient beings!"

When Lu Fengqiu heard the words, the topic changed.

"Sanzang, how about a bet?"

Tang Sanzang asked curiously, "What kind of bet does the real person want to bet?"

Lu Fengqiu said leisurely: "I bet you have been in Lingshan for 300 years, what the world should be like, and it will still be what it is. It will not become better because you become a Buddha, nor will it become better because you have read the scriptures." No matter how cruel."

As soon as these words came out, not only Tang Sanzang was stunned, but also all the monks in Hongfu Temple were stunned.

Sun Wukong faintly felt the difficulty of these words!
But I do not know where the problem lies!
Tang Sanzang remained silent, with a serious expression on his face.

Seeing this, Lu Fengqiu looked at Tang Sanzang with sincerity in his eyes, and said, "What? Does Sanzang have no confidence in himself?"

Seeing the sincerity in Lu Fengqiu's eyes, Tang Sanzang suddenly felt a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat for some reason.

Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together and said, "This bet, Sanzang made it!"

Seeing this, Zhu Bajie couldn't help saying: "Master, whenever you bet, you have to bet something, and you can't do it."

Sun Wukong was listening, and he glared at Zhu Bajie and said, "You idiot, you're talking too much!"

Zhu Bajie murmured, "That's what it is."

Hearing this, Tang Sanzang looked at Lu Fengqiu and said, "If a real person loses this bet, what should we do?"

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said: "If Pindao loses, Pindao can promise to do something for you."

"However, what if Sanzang loses?"

Hearing the words, Tang Sanzang's eyes flashed brightly, he put his hands together and said, "If Sanzang loses! You can promise the real person three things!"

When Tang Sanzang uttered these words, he had an indomitable aura, as if he did not bow his head to the demon on the way to learn the scriptures!
"Master!"

Monkey King felt it was inappropriate, so he hurriedly called Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang said confidently: "Wukong, don't you also think that after becoming a teacher and becoming a Buddha, you can't use this scripture to save sentient beings and make the world a better place?"

Sun Wukong didn't know how to answer for a while.

At this time, Lu Fengqiu continued: "Three things are unnecessary, one is enough, that's only fair, poor people won't take advantage of you."

Lu Fengqiu is confident and has an extraordinary bearing, which makes Monkey King even more uneasy. He always feels that Lu Fengqiu has dug a big hole for Tang Sanzang.

"Sanzang, if you go to Lingshan, you are destined to become a Buddha. After a long time, you will no longer be an ordinary person!"

"When you enter the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the Western Heaven, you will no longer be able to feel the pain of life, old age, sickness and death."

"The Buddha is high above you. In the eyes of the Buddha, mortals are nothing more than ants."

"If sitting on the Lingshan Mountain and reciting scriptures every day can save all living beings, why do all living beings in this world still suffer so much! Endless!"

"Things that neither the Buddhas nor the Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist Kingdom of Lingshan Mountain in the West Heaven can do."

"Could it be that you, Tripitaka, become a Buddha, so that the world will no longer sink in this world?"

"Sanzang, you said just now that together with kind thoughts, all living beings can be saved. I think this is very good."

"As long as you have kind thoughts in your heart and use your own kind thoughts to influence others, does it matter whether you become a Buddha or not?"

"Shouldn't it be where my body is, that is, Lingshan!"

"Because you are good, you should be good to Buddha, not because you are good to Buddha, so you should be good!"

"Buddhas are not necessarily the incarnation of goodness, and the Lingshan Buddhist world may not be the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss!"

"That's all my poor words, Sanzang, when you and I meet again 300 years later, I hope you will not forget the bet we made today!"

Speaking of this, Lu Fengqiu glanced at Monkey King.

Going to Lingshan, not only Tang Sanzang will become a Buddha, but Sun Wukong will also become a fighting and defeating Buddha!
Tang Seng who became a Buddha is no longer the pedantic Tang Seng with a sincere heart on the westward journey.

Lingshan is a big dye vat.

Although it is known as the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and those who have no eyes have all stepped aside.

Tang Seng will change after becoming a Buddha.

Sun Wukong, who has become a fighting and defeating Buddha, will also change.

Fighting against Buddha Sun Wukong will no longer be the Monkey King Monkey King who dared to overthrow the throne of the Jade Emperor and dare to pee in the hands of Tathagata.

He will become a pawn in the hands of Tathagata.

Tang Sanzang said: "Don't worry, Daoist, Sanzang will never forget today's words!"

Lu Fengqiu smiled slightly, purple air rose, and he climbed the clouds and left.

Seeing this, all the monks in Hongfu Temple immediately exclaimed: "It's a god!"

……

Lu Fengqiu did not leave Datang, but stayed in Chang'an.

He had already received the news that Li Shimin would talk with Tang Sanzang at Yanta Temple early tomorrow morning.

At that time, the Eight Great King Kong will call Tang Monk and his disciples back to Lingshan to return to their lives.

Lu Fengqiu intends to pass on a line of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, and he needs to have a heart-to-heart talk with Li Shimin.

The purpose of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty to save the souls of the dead is to prevent himself from going to hell.

At the beginning of Journey to the West, Emperor Tang went to hell because he was intimidated by Guanyin.

Li Tang has always been a believer since the founding of the country, and so has Li Shimin.

Tang Seng went west, Li Shimin only sent two followers for Tang Seng, although he gave him the title of Yudi, but it was just a false name.

Except for the cassock and alms bowl, no one tael of silver was given.

The territory of the Tang Dynasty has always been blessed by gods, and Li Tang claims to be a descendant of Lao Tzu.

Lu Fengqiu wanted to establish a Taoist system in Li Tang, so he naturally wanted to talk to Li Shimin.

He did this not only for preaching, but also for planning 300 years later, and of course he did it for Tathagata to see.

What he said to Tang Sanzang today, the Tathagata will definitely know.

After the Tathagata knows, he will definitely pay attention to him, but it is not certain whether he can be counted as his origin.

The reason why Lu Fengqiu wanted to bet with Tang Seng was to prepare for the birth of Wutian 300 years later.

Wutian was born and ruled the Three Realms for 33 years. During those 33 years, Wutian was destined to be the destiny.

Lu Fengqiu's task is to get the Mieshi Black Lotus, but it is quite difficult to take the Mieshi Black Lotus from Wutian.

You must know that Wutian can achieve the unity of the holy and the devil, thanks to this world-destroying black lotus.

If you want to fool around and take out your natal magic weapon, it is not as simple as just talking about life and ideals.

You must come up with something that convinces Wu Tianneng.

Otherwise, why would Wutian talk nonsense with Lu Fengqiu.

Wutian is a demon with ideals.

He hates this world, and he feels that the gods and Buddhas in this world are hypocritical.

He doesn't like the Three Realms, so he wants to lead the Three Realms and create his ideal Three Realms.

However, when the time comes, he will find that the ideal Three Realms is not so easy to create. He can't even deal with Monkey King, and even Tang Seng can't instigate rebellion, let alone a large group of Lingshan Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

In the eyes of everyone in the Three Realms, Wutian is a devil, no matter how nice the devil's words are, he is still a devil.

No matter how sloppy the Buddha's words are, they are still Buddhas.

This is where identity matters.

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Therefore, Lu Fengqiu is going to help Wutian!Help Wutian create a new Three Realms.

It is both cooperation and win-win!
The Tathagata dared to unscrupulously touch the territory of the Taoist sect, and the Taishang Taoist ancestor ignored it, but Lu Fengqiu could not just sit idly by.

He wants to beat back hard!

Let Tathagata know how powerful it is!
Lu Fengqiu is not afraid of offending Tathagata. The world evolution of the multiverse is inherently full of uncertainties.

To deal with a Buddha like Tathagata, we can only repay him with his own way.

Even if the Tathagata deity of Pangu Continent knew about this matter, he couldn't say no, at most he would remember this matter in his heart, and it might trip Lu Fengqiu in the future.

But Lu Fengqiu is not afraid of him, as the only true descendant of Taishang Daozu, the second person in Renjiao.

He is also a prominent figure in the multiverse, even the Tathagata himself should be polite when he sees Lu Fengqiu.

What's more, Lu Fengqiu's helping Wutian can also be said to follow the destiny of this world.

Although Wutian is the great sage of the demon world, he is not the incarnation of darkness that kills innocent people indiscriminately.

If it were the incarnation of darkness, they would not create so many identical gods to maintain the order of the Three Realms.

He just wants to change the Three Realms, and change the immortal Buddha who is aloof.

Let the world be able to accommodate weak existence.

What Lu Fengqiu has to do is to spread his orthodoxy throughout Nanzhan Buzhou during these 300 years. No matter how dynasties change in the world, there is a orthodoxy. After 300 years, when Lu Fengqiu wants to do something, he will naturally be able to use his arms.

What's more, if Lu Fengqiu helps Wutian create a new Three Realms, he will promote new changes in this world, which is equivalent to an evolutionary world.

For the multiverse, it is very worthy of recognition.

Therefore, Lu Fengqiu's certainty is still very strong.

In short, he must get the World-Mietering Black Lotus!

……

The next day, Tang Taizong Li Shimin talked with Tang Sanzang at the Yanta Temple, and the people in Chang'an City rushed to tell each other.

"I heard that the Holy Majesty wants to spread the scriptures brought by Master Sanzang to the world, so today I specially talked with Master Sanzang in Yanta Temple."

Yanta Temple.

The security is strict, and the Tang Yulin Army has set up defense here early.

At this time, on a high platform in the temple, the scriptures were laid neatly, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin sat on it.

Below is a group of courtiers from the Tang Dynasty, as well as four Tang monks, masters and apprentices, plus a white dragon horse.

At this time, Li Shimin looked happy, and Tang Sanzang held the scriptures and was reciting scriptures for Li Shimin and a group of ministers.

At this moment, suddenly the fragrant wind was lingering, and there was a golden light shining in the mid-air. The Eight Great Vajras appeared in the clouds and shouted loudly: "Those who recite the scriptures, put down the scriptures and go back to the west with me!"

After a few breaths, Tang Sanzang and his disciples flew away, following the Eight Great Vajras.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin and his officials were deeply moved when they saw this, and they paid homage to the western sky.

At this moment, the purple air came from the east and filled the sky, as if auspiciousness had descended.

"The Tao can be said, very Tao, the name can be famous, very famous!"

A fairy voice that seemed to descend from the nine heavens sounded from the clouds.

The next moment, a figure riding a deer slowly appeared from the clouds, and appeared in the eyes of Tang Taizong Li Shimin and his officials.

When Tang Taizong Li Shimin and his officials saw this, their faces were filled with joy, and they immediately bowed: "I have seen the fairy!"
