Journey to the West from Daqin

Everyone was taken aback, it turned out that Li Jue was questioning the Tathagata Buddha.

Tathagata's complexion suddenly turned a little ugly, and he said calmly: "I represent the Second Sage of the West. The direction of this catastrophe was deduced by the Second Sage of the West and informed me."

Li Jue was full of disdain: "The catastrophe of conferring the gods is unavoidable even for saints, and even saints almost fell into it. The process of King Wu's defeating Zhou was full of hardships, and saints can only see this catastrophe coming. Do you know how this catastrophe is going?"

The crowd was silent again.

Tathagata Buddha said: "If the sages don't know, do you know?"

Li Jue said flatly: "I don't know, but I can tell you that when this catastrophe comes, all living beings in the world should be able to participate in it and gain a share of merit from it."

Emperor Wuyue, Emperor Donghua, Emperor Nanhua and others all had bright eyes.

They naturally also want to participate in it and get a share of it. After all, a catastrophe is coming, full of unknowns, but also full of opportunities.

It is also a reshuffle of the major forces in the three realms. If all of them benefit from Buddhism, wouldn't they be reduced to a foil?

They are famous, rich and powerful, how can they be willing to become a foil for others, but in the face of huge benefits, they choose to stand by and do nothing.

It would be full of temptation for them if everyone could participate in it, share a piece of the pie, and win a share of their own merit.

Tathagata Buddha naturally didn't want others to share the merits of traveling to the west, so he said with a calm face: "You want to oppose the saint and question the saint's decision?"

Li Jue said with a chuckle, "If you represent the words of a saint, I will question you."

Tathagata was furious immediately, Li Jue slapped him in the face in public.

"What do you mean by this? This seat is just bringing the words of the saint. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go to the Western Paradise and ask in person."

Li Jue used his trump card: "The Taoist ancestor once said that saints are not allowed to interfere in all mundane affairs below saints. After the catastrophe, in order to punish the monks for participating in the catastrophe, they also took away Sanqing and ordered the Western Er Sheng retreated to the Paradise of Paradise and was not allowed to go out.

Now that the catastrophe of conferring the gods has passed, and less than a thousand years have passed, are you just ignoring the words of the Taoist master, or are you trying to put the two sages of the West at a disadvantage and deliberately spread the holy words? "

Tathagata was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Jue to say such a thing, and even brought out Daozu.

Everyone was also a little shocked, as if they didn't expect Li Jue to say such a thing.

If it is said that he is arrogant and presumptuous, but he is justified.

If it is said that Li Jue questioned the two saints of the West and provoked the majesty of the saint; then, whoever doubts Li Jue now is questioning the majesty of the Taoist ancestor.

The Tathagata Buddha didn't dare to speak for a while, and the scene suddenly cooled down.

Jiang Ziya hesitated to speak, but Li Jue said calmly: "A sage should not interfere in the mundane world, let alone participate in the catastrophe. This is what the Taoist ancestor had already said."

He pointed to Tathagata, and said, "I would like to ask you, what you said earlier that the two sages of the West designated this catastrophe from beginning to end, did you say it personally or is it true?"

Tathagata's face became more and more ugly, and he didn't know how to refute for a while.

If it is admitted that it is what the two sages of the West said, it is tantamount to pushing them to the opposite side of the Taoist master.

If he denies it, it will make him a person who does not believe what he says.

No matter what, in this confrontation between words, he has already lost completely.

There was a calm smile on the corner of Li Jue's mouth, and his eyes and face didn't push any further.

He continued: "If you don't want to say it, let me say it. Is it because the saint has discovered that this catastrophe is about to happen, but the saint does not intend to intervene in it, but wants the Buddhist sect to take a share of it."

Tathagata frowned, not understanding why Li Jue wanted to speak for him.

Li Jue continued: "As the master of the Buddhist Lingshan, you naturally want to maximize the interests of the Buddhist generals, so you said these words that are extremely beneficial to the Buddhist sect."

Everyone's face was shocked, and they realized it later.

Then Jiang Xiong, the Heavenly Emperor of Mount Hua among the Five Sacred Emperors, said: "I feel that what the Emperor Dragon and Tiger said is reasonable, Tathagata, it's a little unreasonable for you to do this."

"Since this catastrophe is unavoidable, and the sage has predicted it, how can you completely lead this catastrophe involving the world to the side that is only beneficial to your Buddhism for the benefit of Buddhism."

The other great emperors also nodded, and they gradually came to their senses, criticizing Tathagata one after another.

Even Emperor Donghua, Zhen Yuanzi and others who supported Tathagata at the beginning nodded their heads one after another, which could be regarded as their approval of Li Jue's words and their dissatisfaction with Tathagata.

Tathagata's face was as gloomy as water.

Li Jue looked calm, he didn't think these people were really on his side.

They purely felt that his words were beneficial to them and could give them a share of the pie, so they supported him.

And what Li Jue needs to do is not let the Buddhist family dominate, but must bring everyone into the game.

It is easier to catch fish if the river is muddied.

Everyone also understands his thoughts, and they are more confident that they can make a profit in this catastrophe, so they support him.

Tathagata's face was not happy, because Li Jue was not fishing in troubled waters, but carve up Buddhism!

Originally, this was a catastrophe purely beneficial to Buddhism, but it was destroyed by Li Jue in the end, and everyone can participate in it!

It happened that Li Jue brought out the Taoist ancestors, so he couldn't mention the second sage of the West.

He could only stare at Li Jue closely, and said: "After all, this catastrophe started and ended because of my Buddhism. It is because of my Buddhism to open up beliefs for the subjects of the Eastern Land."

Li Jue said: "No need, I am a king, and I know more about the world than you. Their belief in ancestors and gods surpasses your Buddha."

Tathagata said, "How do you prove it?"

Li Jue said: "I choose mortals from the east, and go to the Lingshan of the West to preach on Buddhism with a firm heart. If they can survive the so-called nine-nine-eight-one disaster in peace, it proves that they don't need Buddhism. If something happens halfway Now, your Buddhist sect will arrange someone to complete your so-called Journey to the West catastrophe!"

Tathagata was stunned.

What Li Jue said seemed to coincide with his thoughts.

but.

But it became Li Jue's choice.

And along the way, obviously not in the name of learning scriptures, then it is impossible to promote Buddhism.

Traveling west is no longer to learn scriptures, but to discuss the level with the Buddha!

Buddhism is no longer the goal, but a stumbling block!

Tathagata's face gradually turned ugly.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Why do you think that you can set the direction of the catastrophe of Journey to the West?"

Li Jue smiled, "Otherwise, as you said at the beginning, it is up to you to choose ordinary people to go from the east to the west with perseverance, and worship Buddha in Lingshan to seek scriptures."

Tathagata frowned, Li Jue would be so easy to talk to?

Li Jue continued: "Then you have gone through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships along the way. According to the urinating nature of your Buddhism, you will definitely let them take a big step forward and turn the danger into safety. But I will not allow this kind of thing to happen. When the time comes, I will definitely It will become a link in the nine-nine-eight-one disaster, do you think they can safely obtain the scriptures in my hands?"

Tathagata's heart sinks like water.

Everyone looked at them silently, knowing that Li Jue was on par with Tathagata Buddha.

The two fought against Maimang, not giving in to each other.

Seeing that the Tathagata Buddha was silent, Li Jue continued: "This catastrophe was proposed by the two sages of your Buddhism, and it is obvious that your Buddhism wants to use this catastrophe to become more powerful."

Everyone nodded, this kind of thing is obvious to all.

This catastrophe happened in the human world, and it is obvious that Buddhism wants to compete for faith in the human world, blooming and scattering leaves.

And if Buddhism wants to compete for faith in the world, it must use human means to promote Buddhism.

From mortals to learn the scriptures from the west, and to seek the scriptures with fearlessness and perseverance, it will surely move the world and make the world admire and believe.

It is essential to go through ninety-nine and 81 disasters, but these disasters are controllable in the eyes of Buddhism.

But if Li Jue also took part in it, then these catastrophes would be hell-level and completely uncontrollable.

Because Li Jue's strength is really too strong, and he can exert a very strong strength in the human world. With the Xuanyuan Sword, he can protect his primordial spirit and display it perfectly in the human world.

Secondly, his physical body is also extremely strong, and he is not bound by heaven in the world. Even the ordinary Daluo Jinxian is not his opponent.

Therefore, under the suppression of heaven, if Li Jue is in a catastrophe, it must be a nightmare for Buddhist scriptures.

Even if Tathagata Buddha arranged for some people to protect the Buddhist scriptures, it is impossible to defend day and night, and they will be safe in Li Jue's hands.

After all, it is impossible for Buddhism to arrange several quasi-sages for a person who learns scriptures, so it is not to learn scriptures from the west, but to accompany the prince to study.

It is completely unconvincing to the world, and it is extremely detrimental to the spread of Buddhism.

Therefore, Buddhism has to choose mortals with great prestige in the world to go to the west to learn scriptures, and along the way, surrender some disciples and work for him.

In this way, ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties are just a formality.

The condition for this is that Li Jue must not intervene, but with Li Jue's character and the grievances between Buddhism and Buddhism, it is impossible for him not to intervene.

Li Jue said: "I asked you to arrange people to go to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures and promote Buddhism, but it is obvious that you are not very confident in the Buddhist scriptures."

Tathagata said: "The affairs of the world should be decided by the people in the world. Even if we are learning scriptures from the west, we should not interfere with them."

Li Jue smiled, "I am the King of Human Beings, holding the Xuanyuan Sword in my hand. Apart from Empress Nuwa, I am the one who has the most say in human affairs. Can I not intervene in matters that change the world's structure?"

Tathagata is silent, Li Jue's identity is really a problem, which is a headache.

Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, the Nanji Xianweng signaled Jiang Ziya to comfort him. After some persuasion, everyone finally became calm.

And the Tathagata Buddha no longer insisted that the catastrophe of Journey to the West must be arranged by his Buddhist sect.

Li Jue said: "The catastrophe started when your Buddhist sect wanted to become stronger and spread faith in Buddhism among the world."

"And as a human king and a heavenly emperor, I have enough right to speak, and I must act according to my thinking."

Tathagata said: "At the end of the day, you don't want my Dharma to spread all over the world and bring benefits to the world."

He snorted coldly, "You build temples in the world, enjoy incense, and receive merits that you shouldn't have to bear. Naturally, you don't want my Dharma to spread all over the world and compete with you for glory."

Everyone also nodded. They also knew about Li Jue's life in the world, and they also knew that Emperor Qin II built four huge temples for Li Jue to enjoy the incense.

He was already extremely jealous of Li Jue in his heart, and his envy was endless.

Now the Tathagata Buddha directly pointed the finger at him, making him fall into the trap of everyone's jealousy.

But everyone supported Li Jue's statement. Although they were jealous of him now, they felt even more that the Buddhist family should not be allowed to dominate, and Li Jue should not continue to dominate the world.

They wanted even more to get a share of the catastrophe.

In the end, the Jade Emperor made a decision: "This catastrophe was brought up by the Buddhist sect, and the Buddhist sect wanted to spread the Dharma, but there will always be people who are not convinced, and there will always be people who feel that the Buddhist sect is not worthy."

Rough words are not rough.
