Fish swimming around the world

The Lord Buddha waved his hand: "Who else can it be? Vairocana, no one else can trap me. Regarding this guy... forget it, I won't tell you, you won't know even if I tell you."

Jiang Fan's eyes were strange: "The Great Sun Tathagata? The leader of the Tantric Sect?"

Lord Buddha was a little stunned: "Shall I go? How did you know?"

Jiang Fan pinched his chin, his eyes wandering, "...I guessed it."

"You are pretty good at guessing..." Lord Buddha looked at him in surprise: "Boy, no wonder everyone says you are evil, you are really a bit evil..."

Seeing that Jiang Fan seemed to be thinking about something, he immediately said: "You are not a member of the Buddhist sect. There is no good in always asking what these things are for. Just mind your own business."

Jiang Fan snorted: "How come it has nothing to do with me? Tantric, Tantric, have you ever assassinated me?"

He was talking about the battle in Daizhou. Someone from the Tantric Sect did take action, but theoretically it should not be from the Buddhist country.

The Lord Buddha was a little surprised: "How come you can get involved in everything? Boy, I have to advise you not to have anything to do with Buddhism and just be your disciple."

Jiang Fan suddenly looked at him: "You have a problem with their leader, and I have a problem with their disciples. As a group, why don't we at least cooperate in tantric sects?"

The Lord Buddha was a bit dumbfounded: "The Chinese Tantric Sect was under my control before, but now I don't know what's wrong with you, and I don't bother to ask. I have a lot of things to do with Vairocha, so there's no need to guess, what should you do?" What are you doing? Don’t try to drag me into trouble. We’re not together.”

Jiang Fan looked at him. As expected, he didn't say any more about it. Ever since he said that the bet was different, Jiang Fan had already felt that he had another set of things. He would definitely not talk to him too much, let alone go deep into it. Cooperation, saying this, he just wanted to test it out more.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask this question. Let's change the question, what is the relationship between the Demon Sect and Buddhism?"

Lord Buddha frowned: "Oh...you kid has so many problems, and you are involved in the Demon Sect. How can Li Pan offend you?"

"Li Luo?" Jiang Fan was startled: "I only know that Li Luo has a Buddhist country called Devadatta."

Lord Buddha was also stunned for a moment: "Replacement? But...that's not right...that fellow Devadatta...can't be still alive, let alone come to the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Then which Li Pang are you talking about?"

"Demon Lord, back then, you, the cake maker, me, and those few were of the same generation, and they were really powerful."

Jiang Fan felt strange in his heart, Li Pan... could he be Li Luo's father? No, it’s not right, the age doesn’t match, the name doesn’t match, could it be... that it’s his grandfather?

The Lord Buddha had no idea about his question. In his words, after being out for a hundred years, the devil knows which one is behind him.

But in any case, let Jiang Fan confirm one thing. Li Pang, who lived at the same time as Master Fatty, Chang Mei, and Lord Buddha, was the Demon Lord at that time, a genius of heaven, and the only person in the Demon Sect who had achieved great success in the five aggregates demonic power in 500 years. In Lord Buddha's words, in terms of pure combat power, he was slightly inferior to Fat Master back then.

As for Li Luo, the Lord Buddha had never heard of him, but he just thought it was strange that he used the name Devadatta.

As for the five skandhas demon power, Jiang Fan was given an explanation. It was a great evil bhikkhu who was hostile to the Buddha and committed the five sins of rebellion. He was also the elder brother of Ananda, a disciple of the Buddha. He was later suppressed by Ananda.

"Only one thing..." Lord Buddha seemed a little angry: "I have seen the portrait of that guy. He is extremely beautiful. You can't tell the difference between male and female. There is nothing wrong with his good looks... The problem is that he is prettier than me!"

Jiang Fan didn't care about his narcissism at all. He was shocked in his heart at that time. He was so beautiful that he couldn't distinguish between male and female?

At that time, he ignored the Buddha's strangeness and anxiously found a piece of white silk and sketched a portrait of Li Luo. Although it was not very detailed, he was good at sketching and his features were still very obvious.

The Lord Buddha nodded immediately when he saw it: "It's him, Devadatta, have you seen this portrait?"

Jiang Fan was stunned for a long time, and finally shook his head: "No... I have seen such a living person..."

Lord Buddha:? ? ?

The two actually chatted for a while, but in the end there was no conclusion, so they had to end the topic with some confusion.

Compared with this topic, which requires more information to think about, Jiang Fan is most concerned about the Maurya Dynasty's intention at the moment.

Lord Buddha seemed to have been waiting for this question for a long time, and for the first time he showed a somewhat solemn expression.

"Buddhism comes to the west and has a big plan..."

As he spoke slowly, Jiang Fan gradually got a general outline. As he felt endless anger in his heart, he began to feel that the water was unfathomable.

This matter starts with Ashoka, the current leader of the Maurya Dynasty and known as the only holy king in the history of Buddhism.

This man was the third generation holy king of the Maurya Dynasty. Although he respected the Buddha, he governed the country more with religion. Under his rule, the Buddhist kingdom prospered extremely. King Ashoka, who has a vast territory and a powerful army, has more and more ambitions.

Then, he finally found a certain Buddhist master who had gone out of the Buddhist country to preach, and received his guidance. He learned about the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and even learned about the huge dynasty in the far east after crossing the wasteland, the Zhou Dynasty.

According to that powerful man, Zhou was a country that was more powerful, richer, and broader than the Buddhist Kingdom. This aroused King Wuyou's strong desire to conquer. In his eyes, the thirty-six countries of the desolate and barren Western Regions Don't even look at it, Zhou is the bigger target.

So, he began to plan to send people into Dazhou to collect all information about Dazhou.

However, the journey was too long and too rugged, and for many years there was not much success.

But he finally learned about the amazing prosperity and wealth of the Hua people through a few people. What made him even more excited was that the once prosperous Great Zhou was now internally divided, fighting constantly, and the country was weakening.

King Wuyou was excited, so excited that he couldn't sleep. He had a crazy idea to take advantage of the decline of this huge empire to march east to plunder this rich land, and even wanted to take it into his arms if possible.

However, both the great man and King Wuyou understood that it was difficult to attack directly under the current situation. There were too many difficulties to overcome for two countries that were too far apart in space to go to war on a large scale. In addition to the difficult-to-cross plateaus and barren lands, there were also military transportation, etc. Most of them could not be overcome in the short term. The very unwilling King Wuyou finally decided to start with religion first, expand his power within the Hua people, obtain more information, and plunder resources through a few strong people to lay the foundation for the future.

At this time, the great man of the Buddhist country once again suggested sending an envoy from the Western Regions to Zhou under the pretext of debating scriptures and preaching, to observe the situation of the Zhou Dynasty openly and to find allies. There are also considerations for taking a detour through many countries in the Western Regions. On the one hand, it can investigate the situation of the key countries in the middle, and on the other hand, it can explore the most suitable marching route in the future.

King Wuyou immediately adopted this strategy, so the Maurya Dynasty's envoys had set out more than two years ago. The messenger that the monk saw at the beginning was just an outpost. Naturally, the news they sent was also modified a lot, and the other party could not tell the truth that the envoys had already set out.
