When the golden sand was used, the sky was filled with white, and then countless golden sands, like goose feathers and heavy snow, soon covered the surrounding area of ​​Qingniu Jing Cave.

After a while, the gold sand actually covered Qing Niu Jing's thighs, and it looked like countless gold had fallen down to bribe the Taishang Laojun behind Qing Niu Jing.

Shi Zhongkui had not devoted himself to practicing Taoism for the past five hundred years, but he still knew some secrets.

The so-called golden cinnabar is the product of the incense belief collected by Western religions and embodied in it.

Only a Bodhisattva would say that golden cinnabar is beneficial to Shi Zhongkui's practice.

However, Shi Zhongkui is not stupid. He knows that the golden cinnabar of Bodhisattva and the golden cinnabar of Buddha are not necessarily the same.

He smiled and said, "I have long heard that the golden cinnabar in Lingshan has endless magical effects. I also asked the Bodhisattva to show it to comfort the poor people."

The Bodhisattva took a deep look at Shi Zhongkui and understood that this guy was a very cautious person.

If another Bodhisattva had come here, he might still feel pain in his body.

But for the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, the incense faith she received may not even be comparable to that of the Buddha.

When the Bodhisattva turned his hand, a shining golden elixir was revealed.

Just by looking at it, Shi Zhongkui felt that this golden elixir contained huge incense and wish power.

The state of mind that has been stuck in Taiyi Golden Immortal's Dzogchen for many years vaguely reveals the meaning of expectation.

Shi Zhongkui hurriedly put his mind away.

When I first started cultivating Taoism, the first thing I did was to rule out the cultivation method of incense and fire to achieve Taoism. Naturally, I was not really moved at this time.

Moreover, he knew that if he relied on incense to break through to the Great Luo Jinxian, it would definitely be countless times more difficult for him to become a quasi-sage.

wrong.

It's simply impossible.

Shi Zhongkui thought about it and realized that the Bodhisattva herself was still a Daluo Jinxian. If it were possible, she would have used the power of incense to help her break through to the quasi-sage.

In other words, this is a sinkhole.

When the Bodhisattva saw that Shi Zhongkui calmed down quickly, his evaluation of Shi Zhongkui became even higher.

At the same time, I became envious and jealous.

Back then, twelve of my fellow disciples were practicing Taoism in the Kunlun Mountains. They were stuck in the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm for countless years, but could not break through to the Daluo realm.

If he could achieve Daluo by relying on incense at that time, he probably wouldn't be able to calm down so quickly like Shi Zhongkui.

"The Grand Governor has already reached the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal. He should know what the 'immortal killing calamity' is. How about I, Lingshan, promise to help the Grand Governor and return the Dinghai Shenzhen Iron in exchange for the Grand Governor?"

Shi Zhongkui saw that the Bodhisattva did not mention it at all, and the four Jieyi who were trapped in the Universe Picture initially thought that the Bodhisattva did not care about the friendship of the same disciples for the sake of greater interests.

But this idea was rejected by him within a few breaths.

It's not that the Bodhisattva is cruel, it's that she doesn't feel comfortable speaking directly.

As long as everyone doesn't tell the truth, there is a possibility that the matter of Quartet's revelation and capture will continue to be covered up.

As for the idea that Buddhism could help him survive the 'immortal killing calamity', Shi Zhongkui didn't believe it at all.

But I also understand in my heart that once you reach the status of a Bodhisattva, you will have no chance to regret what you say.

Otherwise, you will definitely lose far more than you gain by calculation.

However, Shi Zhongkui would not be stupid and let the so-called help of Western religions act.

Instead of just following the arrangements, it is better to take the initiative to get them.

"This journey to the west is full of disasters, and there are countless demons waiting to cause harm to the world. Since I have been serving as the Great Governor of Demon-Conquering for nine days, it is my duty to subjugate demons and eliminate them."

The Bodhisattva's expression changed for the first time since he met Shi Zhongkui.

He frowned and secretly thought that Shi Zhongkui was really ambitious.

If you agree to him, it will be equivalent to giving up the right to deal with the monsters on the westward journey.

A demon king like the Bull Demon King who relies on his strength to do evil, even if he can't be considered as poisoning living beings, he still has a lot of things waiting for people to deal with him.

And there are countless demons that deserve to be killed more than the Bull Demon King.

Once Shi Zhongkui gets this promise, he can legitimately intervene in the internal affairs of Xiniu Hezhou, the Lingshan base camp.

The Bodhisattva was about to refuse, when suddenly his heart moved.

According to Shi Zhongkui's conditions, Lingshan could not agree, but since it was a negotiation, it was just a counteroffer.

And once the bottom line of Lingshan is not exceeded, Shi Zhongkui, who has been against Lingshan for 500 years, can be exchanged for big trouble and become a force to protect the team traveling westward to obtain scriptures.

This is the saying that when you are in the right way, you will get more help, but when you are in the wrong way, you will get less help.

The word "Tao" can mean morality or the exchange of interests.

Moreover, when the Bodhisattva thought about it carefully, he realized that he had reached an agreement with Laojun back then, and Tushita Palace would send people down to earth to test the will and belief of the team traveling to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

When the disciples of Tushita Palace commit evil deeds, if Shi Zhongkui lets them off lightly, then he will no longer be qualified to hunt down and liquidate other demons in Hezhou, Xiniu, under the banner of subduing demons.

Moreover, there are many great immortals in the Three Realms who want to gain some merit from the spread of Buddhism to the East, or perform a good deed with Western Buddhism in the hope of repaying them in the future.

The disciples and disciples sent by these people don't care about the title of the Great Governor of Nine Heavens Conquering Demons.

Once Shi Zhongkui really kills someone, let alone causing harm everywhere in the future, he will be troubled by the immortals who want revenge.

That's right, in the eyes of Bodhisattva and Lingshan, Shi Zhongkui is a disaster.

Anyone who creates trouble for Lingshan is a disaster.

——

After a heated exchange of words that wasn't even a quarrel, Shi Zhongkui finally got a promise that he could catch the demons that hindered the spread of Buddhism eastward on his way west.

Shi Zhongkui naturally understood that arresting him did not mean he could be killed.

But he is not a fool, and his initial target was not the big monsters with backing.

Breathing out a breath of flames and burning a hole of little demons to death may bring more merit than killing a big golden immortal demon.

Not to mention, many demons have many relatives and friends.

Today we burned down this cave and killed hundreds of little demons. Tomorrow there might be some tough demons coming to seek revenge.

The most important thing is that Shi Zhongkui actually has bad intentions in his heart.

To put it bluntly, Buddhism competes with Taoism for human faith.

For example, the three demons of Shituoling directly ate tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of mortals in Shituo Kingdom.

He also went around grabbing people to use as food, but ended up going back to Lingshan Mountain to be a Bodhisattva mount without any pain, and the story about the uncle of the Buddha spread.

Shi Zhongkui believed that ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty and other places, while fearing Western religion, would definitely delay Western religion from the bottom of their hearts.

In addition to the three demon kings in Shituoling, there are more demons, big and small, than there were in Huaguo Mountain back then.

Not to mention 100,000, but definitely 50,000 or 60,000.

Burning to death or killing one or two thousand people is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of merits.

If it's tens of thousands, it might have more than a million merits.
