Laojun, you don’t need to worry that Shi Zhongkui will apostatize like Taoist Ran Deng, Taoist Samantabhadra, Taoist Cihang, Fear to Remain, and Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun.

No longer hiding it, he said to Shi Zhongkui, "Okay, without further ado, if you want the sixth-grade golden lotus of merit.

With the virtues of those monks, they will definitely be up to something secretly, and the golden lotus will definitely compete with the green lotus for dominance in your soul.

Even if you can find a way to make two lotus terraces coexist, the spiritual energy consumed is enough to make you stagnant in the True Immortal Stage.

And as the lotus grows, it might suck you dry."

After saying that, Lao Jun looked at Shi Zhongkui, whose expression changed greatly, with a smile, and secretly said that I just need to scare you, this misbehaving monkey.

Don't think that the old Taoist doesn't know that even though you, the hozen, didn't reject Taibai Jinxing, you have actually become greedy.

Fortunately, Laojun also guessed from Shi Zhongkui's words just now that he planned to take the baby first, and whether he would regret it later, he would first see what his great uncle said.

However, although Shi Zhongkui was sinister and shameless, Laojun also knew that this was not necessarily a bad thing.

Otherwise, if everyone is a gentleman, how can they outperform the Zhunti Taoist priests who often came to the east to catch the autumn breeze?

The phrase "Fellow Taoist, please stay" is not just Shen Gongbao's mantra.

At most, Shen Gongbao only deceived people into going against the Western Zhou Dynasty and sending them to death. Zhunti, on the other hand, wanted to take all the treasures from the East with him and take them to the West.

——

After listening to Laojun's words, Shi Zhongkui secretly hated Western religion.

Anyone who wants to die cannot think of a better life.

However, after feeling angry for a moment, he suddenly came to his senses.

The Western Church is right to plot against themselves, but they probably don’t really want to kill themselves directly.

On the contrary, there is a high probability that there are two innate lotus platforms in your soul that absorb a large amount of spiritual energy. When you cannot make ends meet, they just jump out and pull you into Western religion.

The Eight Treasures Merit Pool alone should be enough to sustain the growth of two lotus terraces.

If you just want to grow to the ninth level, it shouldn't be possible.

And since the Golden Lotus of Merit and Virtue was cultivated by Western religions, they must have a way to help them completely refine the Golden Lotus of Sixth Grade Merit and Virtue.

At that time, the two lotus terraces will naturally become at ease and can be controlled at will.

Shi Zhongkui secretly thought it was a pity, but letting him apostatize and go to the West would not be worth the gain.

He rolled his eyes and asked, "Uncle, my disciple told you last time about traveling to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Do you have a person in mind who will be responsible for collecting Buddhist scriptures?"

Lao Jun frowned and nodded, "Lao Tao plans to choose three of the eight immortals from the Shangdong to descend to earth. What do you think?"

Shi Zhongkui shook his head without thinking, "No, no, the eight master uncles are second-generation disciples of the Human Cult. There is no need to give up your status as Shangdong Immortal to get involved in this matter just for some credit. It's really not worth it."

Lao Jun glanced at Shi Zhongkui angrily and secretly thought that not everyone is like you and can gain merit by killing a few demons.

The world is generally very stable, so there are not many opportunities to contribute to the sect and earn some credit.

Sun Monkey made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, and Heavenly Court, Taoism and Buddhism had to cooperate with each other to act, giving Heavenly Court generals a chance to take credit.

Thinking of this, Laojun remembered that Shi Zhongkui blocked Sun Wukong from the Tongming Palace...

At that time, Laojun was still a little angry, but now the more he looked at Shi Zhongkui, the more he liked him, and he felt that this boy was much smarter than other disciples and disciples.

Not only did he steal a large part of the credit for that big scene, but he also almost didn't have a chance to take action.

It was considered a great humiliation in front of a very small number of big men in the Three Realms. It is no wonder that the Western Church plotted against him one after another.

But again, the more unhappy your opponent is, the more you have to defend yourself.

With this idea in mind, Lao Jun said with a smile, "Then why not leave it to you to choose?"

Shi Zhongkui's first thought was naturally to refuse. The only people he cared about were his wives, concubines, and disciples.

It was not suitable for Dan Sheng to come down to earth and participate in this matter, lest he accidentally be inadvertently used by the Western teachings to use his identity as a Buddhist to convert Dan Sheng.

Jia Lan looks good, but he is only a 13-year-old boy after all.

His mind is immature and he cannot compete with the Western religion at all. Even Shi Zhongkui relied on his master to dare to provoke the Western monks again and again.

As soon as Laojun saw Shi Zhongkui's expression, he guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile, "Don't forget that when Mount Tai consecrated Zen a few days ago, many of the Xuanmen disciples who descended to earth one after another did not return to heaven."

Shi Zhongkui instantly understood that Laojun was using these people as cannon fodder.

But thinking about it carefully, I think I would do the same thing.

The four great heavenly masters are nominally Laojun's disciples, but they are neither direct disciples nor have low autonomy.

The disciples and grandsons of the heavenly masters are not Laojun's disciples and grandsons. Since they are reluctant to let others teach their disciples to take risks, they also don't want to take advantage of others.

Of course, I picked people from the branch of Xuanmen.

It’s done, and the credit belongs to Xuanmen as well.

If it doesn't work out, I won't feel bad if I die.

Even if you have a darker heart, you can use the death of a disciple of the Four Heavenly Masters to encourage the Xuanmen branch to become enmity with the Western religion.

At the same time, these branches will be more active in getting closer to people’s teachings and explanatory teachings.

Shi Zhongkui chuckled, "Disciple, let's go down to earth to see who can take on this important task."

Lao Jun saw that there was something cunning in Shi Zhongkui's smile and knew that he had guessed what he was thinking.

He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead, you can choose the person you want, and if you succeed, you will be rewarded heavily by the old master."

Shi Zhongkui didn't ask what the reward was, and he didn't even think about taking the scripture collector to Tushita Palace to ask for the reward from the old man.

I will take the benefits of Laojun myself, and I will exchange them for other rewards and distribute them, so that no one dares to go to Tushita Palace to ask Laojun for confirmation.

Even if someone is really that brave, Shi Zhongkui believes that even if Laojun is angry, he will cover it up for him.

The reason is very simple. Shi Zhongkui must be much more important than the disciples who learned the scriptures.

Besides, if credit is really to be counted, Shi Zhongkui, who came up with the plan to learn lessons in advance and was responsible for leading the plan, must have the greatest credit.

After bidding farewell to Laojun, Shi Zhongkui did not go to Nantianmen this time.

He went back to the Royal Horse Prison first and asked the two lieutenants Zhang and Xu to go to Taibai Jinxing and tell them that they were not free to attend the banquet.

Then he used the time and space orb to return to the world of Red Mansions, and then suddenly came to Luoyang City in the Earthly Immortal World, where he lived in the house he had bought after attracting Liu Xiu.

The inspection of candidates cannot be completed in a day or two, but Shi Zhongkui is not in a hurry.

Even from the perspective of taking full credit, it is far more appropriate to select a few officials from the court to go west to learn scriptures than to select from Taoist disciples.

Moreover, these disciples who are greedy for wealth and honor in the world are not necessarily determined people.

It is foreseeable that, not to mention the many dangers involved in traveling westward to obtain Buddhist scriptures in advance, Western religions will definitely try their best to save Buddhist scripture seekers.

Instead of Taoist disciples being converted by Buddhism, it would be better to choose officials who believed in Buddhism from the beginning to go west.

After returning from Buddhist scriptures, dragging them into Xuanmen will not only make Xuanmen look good, but also not violate Laojun's wishes.

Of course, if there are other better ways, Shi Zhongkui wouldn't mind changing the plan.
