Tathagata's face gradually became a little ugly.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Why do you think you can formulate the direction of the Journey to the West?"

Li Jue smiled, "Otherwise, as you said at the beginning, you will choose mortals with a perseverance and set off from the east to the west to worship Buddha and pray to the sutras in Lingshan."

Tathagata frowned. How could Li Jue be so easy to talk to?

Li Jue continued: "Then you go through eighty-one difficulties along the way. According to your Buddhist nature, you will definitely make them stride and turn danger into danger. But I will not allow this kind of thing to happen. At that time, I will definitely become a part of the eighty-one difficulties. Do you think they can obtain the scriptures safely in my hands?"

The Tathagata's mind is as deep as water.

Everyone looked at them silently, knowing that Li Jue had been arguing with Buddha Tathagata.

The two of them competed against Mai Mang and did not give in to each other.

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

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

This catastrophe happened in the human world, and it was obvious that Buddhism wanted to compete for faith in the human world and bloom and scatter the leaves.

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

By seeking the scriptures from ordinary people to the West with their fearless and perseverance, they will surely move the world and make the world admire and convince them.

It is essential to go through eighty-one difficulties, but these disasters are controllable in the eyes of Buddhism.

But if Li Jue also participates in it, then these disasters will definitely be at the hell level and are completely uncontrollable.

Because Li Jue's strength is really too strong, and he can exert a very powerful force in the human world. With the Xuanyuan Sword, he can protect his soul and perform perfectly in the human world.

Secondly, his body is extremely strong and is not bound by the laws of heaven in the human world. Even the ordinary Daluo Jinxian is not his opponent.

Therefore, under the suppression of the Heavenly Way, if Li Jue was in a disaster, it would definitely be a nightmare for those who seek the scriptures.

Even if the Buddha Tathagata arranged some people to protect the monks, it would be impossible to be on guard day and night, and it was safe in Li Jue's hands.

After all, it is impossible for Buddhism to arrange several quasi-saints for a visitor, so that it is not to seek the sutras in the West but to accompany the prince to study.

It is not worthy of convincing to the world, and it is also extremely unfavorable to the spread of Buddhism.

Therefore, Buddhism must choose mortals with great prestige who go to the West to seek scriptures, and surrender some disciples along the way and work hard for him.

In this way, it is just a formality.

The condition is that Li Jue is not allowed to interfere, but with Li Jue's personality and the grudge between Buddhism, it is impossible for him not to interfere.

Li Jue said: "I asked you to arrange people to obtain the scriptures in the West and preach Buddhism, but it is obvious that you are not very confident about the person who obtains the scriptures."

Tathagata said: "The affairs of the world should be decided by the people of the world. Even if we seek the scriptures in the West, we should not be allowed to be interfered with by others."

Li Jue smiled, "I am the king of humans, holding the Xuanyuan Sword. In the affairs of the world, except for Nuwa, I have the most say. Can't I interfere in changing the situation of the world?"

Tathagata was silent. Li Jue's identity was really a problem and a headache.

When everyone saw the situation, the Antarctic Immortal Weng signaled Jiang Ziya to comfort him. After some persuasion, everyone finally began to become calm.

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

Li Jue said: "The beginning of the catastrophe is that your Buddhism wants to become strong and spread faith in Buddhism in the world."

"As the human king and the heavenly emperor, I have enough voice and must act according to my ideas."

Tathagata said, "After all, you don't want my Buddhist teachings to spread throughout the world and to benefit the world."

He snorted coldly, "You build a temple on earth, enjoy incense, and bear the merits that you shouldn't have endured. Naturally, I don't want my Buddhist teachings to spread all over the world and compete with you for glory."

Everyone nodded. They also knew about Li Jue’s affairs on earth, and even knew that Qin Ershi built four huge temples for Li Jue to enjoy the incense.

I was already very jealous of Li Jue and was very jealous of him.

Now the Buddha Tathagata directly led the finger at him, causing him to fall into the trap of jealousy of everyone.

However, everyone had already supported Li Jue's statement. Although they were jealous of him now, they felt that they should not let Buddhism dominate, nor should they let Li Jue continue to control the world.

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

Finally, the Jade Emperor made a decision: "This catastrophe was initiated by Buddhism and wanted to preach Buddhism, but there were always people who were dissatisfied, and there were always people who felt that Buddhism was not worthy."

The words are rough but not rough.

In fact, even if Li Jue didn't say it, everyone was still dissatisfied. After all, the Buddha of Tathagata wanted to spread Buddhism throughout the world, and he wanted to compete with them for territory.

In fact, there are saints behind them. The two Western saints want to reach out to the world, just to seize the territory of other saints. If they don’t agree, these people will naturally not agree.

If Li Jue doesn't mention it, these people will also interfere, but they will not be so blatant.

The Jade Emperor continued: "So for fairness, to win people with virtue, and to make this catastrophe not cause too much murder. We must be gentler and safely through this catastrophe."

Tathagata frowned. Before coming here, he had already contacted the Jade Emperor. The two sides had exchanged opinions and reached a consensus!

The Jade Emperor should be on his side.

But now the Jade Emperor obviously wants to mix with the poor, which is extremely unfavorable to Buddhism.

but.

He did not interrupt the Jade Emperor's speech, and the Jade Emperor continued: "If you want to survive this catastrophe safely and avoid implicating more innocent people, you can satisfy all parties. There are two ways."

Jiang Ziya said very well: "You dare to ask Your Majesty, what are the two methods?"

The Jade Emperor said: "One of them was proposed by the Buddha Tathagata before. They selected people to set out from the East and went to the Lingshan Mountain in the West to worship Buddha and seek sutras. They traveled 108,000 miles and had to go through 9981 difficulties before they could achieve the right result."

Tathagata nodded. This is a way to maximize the benefits of Buddhism.

Jiang Ziya said: "What is the second solution?"

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "The second method is proposed by Emperor Dragon and Tiger. The Emperor Dragon and Tiger selected people to go to Lingshan, Xitian, to preach the Buddha, to prove that the current eastern land does not require the illumination of Buddhism."

Tathagata frowned, and this method is extremely unfavorable to Buddhism.

Because if Li Jue really chooses, if mortals can reach Xitian Lingshan to preach and discuss Buddhism, it will be a great blow to the majesty of Buddhism.

Moreover, if Buddhism wants to bloom in the eastern land, it must be delayed for a while.

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "The first method will definitely not satisfy the Dragon and Tiger Emperor, so the 9981 difficulties will definitely become extremely difficult, which is extremely unfavorable to the spread of Buddhism."

Everyone nodded. If Li Jue really wanted to make a move, judging from his performance in the world, even if the Buddha Tathagata really arranged a quasi-saint to bless those who seek the scriptures, he would probably be unpredictable.

What's more, if this catastrophe is really arranged to participate in protecting the people who seek the scriptures, it will definitely become a laughing stock.

However, if Li Jue is asked to arrange for manpower to walk the westward journey, many uncertainties will be added.

If Li Jue really succeeds, the Buddhist transit to the east will definitely be postponed.

Tathagata hesitated for a long time, and everyone was silent.

Li Jue looked calm and expressed his approval of the Jade Emperor's two methods, and he repeatedly stated that no matter what method everyone chooses, he may not necessarily participate.

"If a man does not punish himself, heaven and earth will be destroyed. Just as the Buddha said, if I want to defend the land of the east land, I will definitely stop this catastrophe of Buddhism going east."

He is now outspoken.

Everyone's eyes flashed. In fact, they never wanted to allow Buddhism to travel east. They just wanted to get a share of the pie in this catastrophe.

If we can prevent the Dharma from traveling to the east, why not do it?

Tathagata noticed the expressions and attitudes of everyone, and knew that if Li Jue made a move, it would be difficult and dangerous to obtain the scriptures in the West.

He secretly calculated that his chances of winning were zero.

at this time.

A voice sounded in the Tathagata's mind, "Choose the second method."

Then the voice disappeared, but Tathagata calmed down.

He then spoke, "Since that's the case, I am in the Lingshan Mountain in Xitian, waiting for the mortals appointed by Emperor Longhu to come and discuss Buddhism!"

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Since even the Buddha has agreed to choose the second method, then Emperor Dragon and Tiger, I will give you 10 years to select the right mortal, set out from Dongtu, and travel to Xitianling Mountain after 108,000 miles to inform the world that Dongtu does not require Buddhism for the time being."

Everyone shook their heads secretly. This must be an extremely difficult journey to the west.

Because destroying a person is thousands of times easier than protecting him.

It is easy to kill mortals who travel west, but it is really difficult to protect mortals who travel west.

They actually couldn't figure out where Li Jue got his confidence and why he proposed such a ridiculous solution.

It seems that the Jade Emperor is still inclined toward Buddhism.

They don’t think that Li Jue can really protect the mortals by participating in the protection, because they cannot be defended.

Li Jue is destined to fail.

But it doesn't matter, they can take this opportunity to get a piece of the pie.

During Li Jue's fight against Buddhism, they can just take the opportunity to make a profit.

At that time, if Buddhism continues to travel east, they will still be able to make profits from it.

The best of both worlds, why not do it?

but.

Some people also think that if they help Li Jue secretly, they will have more time and opportunities to get a piece of the pie.

This is how catastrophe is determined.

However.

Things are not finished yet.

Tathagata stood up and was about to leave. When he was about to come, he smiled and said, "My Buddhism is about to convene the Ullan Buddha Conference. The Monkey King Sun Wukong admires and recognizes my Buddhism very much."

"Now, I sincerely invite Emperor Li Tian to come. I wonder if I can appreciate my face!"
