Journey to the West from My Backyard

This manor is an extremely simple fish pond, and in front of him is a middle-aged man in plain clothes who is concentrating on feeding the fish.

"Zhuang Zhou, brother, long time no see."

Li Taibai greeted Zhuang Zhou.

"Haha, Marshal Tianpeng is a busy person in Heavenly Court. I don't know why he has time to come to me today to talk. Could it be that he is here to arrest me, a sinner?"

Zhuang Zhou said to Li Taibai.

"Haha, Mr. Zhuang Zhou is serious. Although Mr. Zhuang Zhou has fought against me several times, I admire Mr. Zhuang Zhou's character very much. You are different from your senior brothers, and I know that you also have different positions that day. I happened to visit Xiniu Hezhou today, and came here by chance, so I wanted to ask Mr. Zhuang Zhou for a cup of tea, I wonder what Mr. Zhuang Zhou thinks?"

Li Taibai said to Zhuang Zhou.

"Haha, as the saying goes, you are a guest from afar. If that's the case, I'm honored to let you taste my fairy tea. Speaking of Marshal Tianpeng, you are a blessed person after all. This fairy tea is ripe in 2000. I look forward to it It took a whole 2000 years to get this tea. I can’t think of it as a coincidence. In this case, over there, please invite Marshal Tianpeng and Pindao to drink tea and enjoy the moon.”

Zhuang Zhou said to Li Taibai.

Afterwards, the boys around went to prepare a pot of fragrant tea, and poured it in front of the three of them.I saw the teapot in front of me, which looked very simple.Zhuang Zhou seemed to see Li Taibai's thoughts.

"Haha, Marshal Canopy, don't be too obsessed with appearances. Although this teapot doesn't look a little special, it's the so-called magic in the ordinary."

At this time, Li Taibai and Lu Xin'er were chatting with Zhuangzi in the courtyard. Through the conversation, they discovered that Zhuangzi's cultivation was not only extremely high, but also that his state of mind was completely different from his senior brothers.According to Zhuangzi's indifferent mood, if Master Tongxuan hadn't insisted several times, Zhuangzi would probably not be willing to participate in these matters.

"Senior Zhuang Zhou, although Taoist Xuandu has been captured, the Jade Emperor is kind and unwilling to kill him. At the same time, he also cares about the face of the Supreme Lord, so he handed Taoist Xuandu over to Bajing Palace. I don't know why. What do you think, Senior Zhuang Zhou?"

Li Taibai asked Zhuang Zhou.

Hearing Li Taibai's words, Zhuang Zhou laughed.

"Since that's the case, I also want to thank Marshal Tianpeng. I also want Marshal Tianpeng to thank the Jade Emperor for his kindness."

Zhuang Zhou said to Li Taibai.

"By the way, I don't know, do seniors know about Master Tongxuan and Erlang God Yang Jian?"

Li Taibai asked Zhuang Zhou.

After listening to Li Taibai's words, Zhuang Zhou remained silent.

"Marshal Tianpeng, do you know why my brother must occupy the Heavenly Court for a period of time this time?"

Zhuang Zhou said to Li Taibai.

"Appreciate further details."

After listening to Zhuang Zhou's words, Li Taibai became interested.

"To tell you the truth, Marshal Tianpeng, in fact, my human religion has always admired indifference and inaction. In normal times, I would never have done such a thing. Of course, this incident is also inseparable from my master's instruction, but in fact It's not that we are greedy for glory and wealth, but that this move has a deep meaning."

Zhuang Zhou said to Li Taibai.

"what does it mean?"

After listening to Zhuang Zhou's words, Li Taibai immediately became interested.

"Marshal Tianpeng, do you know that in a few days, it will be the time when Buddhism will be spread eastward."

Zhuang Zhou asked Li Taibai.

"Of course I know about this, and to tell the truth to senior Zhuang Zhou, people who used to be Buddhists and I have also passed through Qi. They even said that I have something to do with the spread of Buddhism to the East."

Li Taibai replied to Zhuang Zhou.

"That's right. It's true that all the milk that Nanzhan Buzhou believes in is Taoism, but Buddhism has always been overbearing. Although Taoism is currently doing things, it respects tolerance and does not exclude other sects. It's just that Buddhism is used to being the only one who respects me." , so my master is very resistant to this kind of thing."

"Besides, if Buddhism wants to spread Buddhism to the east, it will inevitably have to go through many hurdles, and it will be closely related to my Taoism at that time. However, the Heavenly Court shows weakness. The Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court is also the Great Heavenly Lord. Their cultivation base is not high, and their subordinates can use it. very little power."

"If you want to obstruct it, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult. So sometimes, the actions taken by my fellow disciples are indeed a bit radical, but please forgive me. Marshal Tianpeng also serves in the Heavenly Court after all. I don't mean that Marshal Tianpeng must pardon some of my senior brothers. But I also hope that Marshal Tianpeng can understand the reason for this."

Zhuang Zhou said to Li Taibai.

After listening to Zhuang Zhou's words, Li Taibai nodded slightly
Indeed, Li Taibai quite agrees with what Zhuang Zhou said.

"It is said that when Sakyamuni became holy, he once said that I am the only one in heaven and earth. Of course, I am not referring to Sakyamuni himself, but to all living beings. The philosophy of Buddhism is completely different from Taoism. I am afraid that Then there will be an uproar again."

"And the matter of Marshal Canopy is more than that. Buddhism used to be the Western religion, and the strength of the Western religion was not very strong before. But after the Conferred God War, it was the Western religion that finally took advantage of it. In the end, the Western religion became Buddhism."

"They are actually more powerful than any other party. If the Western religion enters with joy, it will be a disaster for us. Although Amitabha and the others have always advocated great mercy, great mercy is only an appearance after all. So the key At this moment, I also hope that Marshal Tianpeng can understand the priority of this matter."

Zhuangzi said to Li Taibai.

After listening to Zhuangzi's words, Li Taibai remained silent.After about a while.

"Haha, after meeting Zhuang Zhou today, I will leave with my friends, and I will bother you another day."

Li Taibai said to Zhuang Zhou.

"My door is always open to you, Marshal Canopy."

Afterwards, Zhuang Zhou sent Li Taibai and Lu Xiner to the door.Leaving Zhuang Zhou's courtyard at this time, Lu Xiner was a little puzzled.

"Brother Taibai, do you think Erlang God Yang Jian and Master Tongxuan are here?"

Lu Xiner said to Li Taibai.

"Haha, Xin'er, I don't know if Erlang God Yang Jian and Master Tongxuan are here. But I'm sure that Zhuang Zhou must know about them."

Li Taibai said to Lu Xiner.

"Haha, brother Taibai, I guessed it. When you asked him just now, he would not answer, so I guessed that there was a ghost. It's just brother Taibai, why didn't you keep asking?"

Lu Xiner asked Li Taibai.

After listening to Lu Xiner's words, Li Taibai sighed slightly.

"Haha, daughter-in-law, this matter is a bit complicated. You are so simple, I don't want you to know the twists and turns. But since you have already said this, whether it is Erlang God Yang Jian or Tongxuan Master, they are all young Role."

"It doesn't matter whether they are here or not, but they represent the face of the Supreme Lord. Things can't go too far, this is one. Second, I am also worried about what Zhuang Zhou said. And domineering."

"The spread of Buddhism to the East is very unavoidable. Now I am enemies with Zhuang Zhou and Master Tongxuan. I am afraid that in the future, they may not be enemies anymore. Moreover, they may not fight each other in the game of Zhuxian Saint. The saint takes his face into account. At that time, there will be people fighting for it. If I blindly suppress the Taoist city, I am afraid that it will not be my luck."

Li Taibai said with a sigh.After listening to Li Taibai's words, Lu Xiner nodded vaguely.
