Journey to the West: At the beginning, Li Er was mistaken for his father

"As I said just now..."

Li Xiudao spoke freely and slowly, without any nervousness on his expression.

"The world of earth and immortals is huge, and so is Nanzhan Buzhou alone. Apart from the Great Tang, there are still many countries.

Those of you who only focus on Datang are a bit too stingy..."

The atmosphere in the field went from uproar to silence, but only a few breaths.

The Jade Emperor, Taibai Jinxing and others all lowered their heads, and began to weigh the weight of Li Xiudao's words in their stomachs.

Guanyin Bodhisattva's complexion changed several times.

Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Fusang, etc., suddenly couldn't compare with the dense population and advanced and prosperous culture of the Middle Earth.

But since Buddhism can influence many Hu tribes to convert, it is obviously not very picky about these back then.

Some food is good enough, what more bicycles do I want.

And just as Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva thought before.

To a large extent, the people are afraid of power but not morality. If they live too comfortably, how can they dedicate their beliefs so piously.

From this point of view, remote places such as Goguryeo and Silla are still beneficial.

If Buddhism can gain a firm foothold in these places, it will easily continue for thousands of years.

Although the plan of Journey to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures has not been resumed for the time being, it is not without small help to be able to harvest these.

of course……

More importantly, Guanyin Bodhisattva used this to test Datang's attitude towards Buddhism.

It is not like the few emperors who have appeared before, who have an extremely hostile attitude towards Buddhism.

When they came up, they carried out operations such as "killing Buddha" and directly digging out the root, without any discussion at all.

It's pretty good to be able to test these out.

What should Buddhism do next, it will not run around like a headless chicken.

"The king of Tang can take the world as his own responsibility, and consider the long-term peace and stability of thousands of people, instead of just focusing on a small Tang Dynasty, the immediate gains and losses..."

With such a real benefit that can be touched by tentacle, placed in front of him, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva immediately reversed his previous attitude and enthusiastically agreed.

"This is the true creation of sentient beings, and the practice of Mahayana Bodhisattvas in our Buddhism.

Your Majesty and Your Highness' realm are far superior to those of this little monk..."

Guanyin Bodhisattva deliberately dragged out the ending, and then patted his chest to assure him.

"If there is anything that is needed, our hundreds of millions of Buddhist disciples all have the ambition to dedicate themselves!!!"

Both the pros and cons were exhausted by the Buddhism, the Jade Emperor, Taibai Jinxing, and half of the civil and military ministers present all sneered inwardly.

The gods who live forever and see for a long time are nothing more than this! ! !

In essence, it is no different from mediocre mortals.

This incident was caused by Li Xiudao himself, so naturally he would not show it.

Before Guanyin finished speaking, he had already started applauding.

Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Fusang, etc. are located in remote places, perhaps thousands of miles away from Chang'an.

With such a long distance, the transportation of grain, grass, and luggage alone is a huge problem, even if it is collected and transferred nearby.

To be able to get [-]% is already in the sky.

Although Datang's military strength is unparalleled, it is far more difficult than imagined to conquer and flatten it.

and……

Hitting it down is just the first step.

If a long-term and effective ruling system cannot be established, within three to five years, it will inevitably become a sewage quagmire and drag Datang into it.

Such a blunt knife cuts the flesh, bit by bit, the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty is scattered.

This is also the reason why the human race pays so much attention to the merits of "education", only by applying education and changing customs.

Only then can the places that have been struck down be truly included in the territory, and will never be separated.

It's just that this process is too slow, at least it will take three to five generations for them to understand the order of human relations and act according to etiquette.

Moreover, the matter of enlightenment needs to be continuously maintained in the future.

As the saying goes, "The brilliance of a gentleman will be cut for five generations." If this kind of humane education cannot continue, it will be difficult to pass it on on its own.

At this time, the role of Buddhism came to the fore.

It has to be said that when it comes to deceiving people's hearts, Buddhism still has some powerful methods.

Relying on the specious, simple and crude teachings, it is easy to get popular among the people, and spread rapidly.

If we talk about humane enlightenment, it is the water mill of dripping water and rocks, paying attention to gentle wind and light rain, moistening things silently.

Then the preaching of Buddhism is like a prairie fire.

To open up the situation in a short period of time and infiltrate into their organizational structure, there is no more suitable choice than Buddhism.

As for advocating Buddhism and Taoism, it is easy to disperse the fate of the country and make it difficult for the people to follow.

Although these are flaws, but when used in enemy countries, they have other magical effects.

and……

Seeing the reaction of Guanyin Bodhisattva in his eyes, Li Xiudao secretly laughed.

If Buddhism falls in love with this plan and joins in, it is bound to pour a certain amount of resources into it.

Where do these people and things come from?

Naturally, it is the nearby Datang.

After all, the current savings of the human race are not enough, and it is too early to completely turn against Buddhism now, and to start a full-scale war.

As it is now, the misfortune is brought to the east, and the focus of their attention is temporarily shifted to these countries east of the Tang Dynasty, which can also weaken the influence of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty.

Isn't it beautiful to have the best of both worlds!
Guanyin Bodhisattva may not be completely unaware of Li Xiudao's thoughts.

However, what Li Xiudao used was a proper conspiracy.

As long as Buddhism wants to expand its influence in Nanzhan Buzhou, it is doomed to be difficult to resist such temptations.

Seeing that Li Xiudao and Guanyin Bodhisattva were speaking in a few words, they were about to finalize a cooperation plan.

Jade Emperor and Taibai Jinxing looked at each other, and their faces couldn't help changing color at the same time.

It's not that they didn't vaguely understand Li Xiudao's plan.

But still the same sentence, if this matter is allowed to go on, Buddhism can naturally extend its tentacles wider and deeper.

When one's own base camp was attacked, the Heavenly Court must not be completely unresponsive.

"Fight, fight..."

Feeling the suddenly intense atmosphere in the field, Li Xiudao nodded slightly.

That's why he deliberately spread the matter in front of the heavenly court.

Although Li Xiudao has already made a plan, he will unite with the Heavenly Court to fight against Buddhism in the early stage.

But between Datang and Heavenly Court, it doesn't mean that there is no game at all.

If he hadn't shown his strength in successive battles today, the Jade Emperor would never have thought of joining forces with Datang.

Even if they try their best, they will only push the human race to the forefront of the competition with Buddhism like cannon fodder.

Now Li Xiudao has put everything on the table.

If Tianting wants to get Datang's support from Buddhism, it has to come up with a higher price.

but……

The first to speak was neither Heaven nor Buddhism.

It's... the Dragon Clan!
