Chapter 662 Everything is discussed

Before the battle at Shituoling, Buddha would not have had so many scruples about Shi Zhongkui's threat.

But the example of Shi Zhongkui easily catching the golden-winged Dapeng is that after the Buddha himself made some calculations in the past few days, he couldn't help but realize that even if he sent out many Arhats and Bodhisattvas, he might not be able to catch the Dapeng.

It's not that Dapeng's strength is enough to defeat so many Arhats and Bodhisattvas, but that few people can catch up with his speed.

Even if Shi Zhongkui uses a trick to capture Dapeng, he has eight Taiyi Golden Immortals who are as powerful as Sun Wukong. If they want to cause trouble during the journey to the west, it will be really difficult to deal with them.

Or, before the Buddhist pilgrims are in danger, kill the demons that test the Buddhist scripture collectors first, or capture them in the sky.

Then the nine-nine-nine-eighty-one difficulties that I arranged became empty words.

And if the tribulations don’t appear, there’s no need to mention the saying that ‘the Dharma should not be taught lightly’.

When the scriptures are spread back to the East, when the world asks, the person who retrieved the scriptures says that he rode all the way to Lingshan and easily retrieved the scriptures. What will the world think?

If something is too easy to obtain, no one will pay attention to it. The plan to spread Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty will inevitably be full of difficulties.

Moreover, as Shi Zhongkui is the quasi-son-in-law of the Tang Emperor, if the Tang Emperor dies and the new emperor succeeds, Shi Zhongkui's status in the hall will definitely be higher.

Shi Zhongkui nodded, realizing that the Buddha was negotiating terms with him.

He smiled and said, "Uncle Master, do you think that Ao Lie is a talent that can be made?"

"This matter is easy to handle," Shi Zhongkui laughed, "Although Ao Lie is my disciple's daughter-in-law's third brother and has an extraordinary status and status, he has violated the laws of heaven after all.

The Buddha was stunned, never expecting that a selfish person like Shi Zhongkui would ask for an official position for the sake of his relatives.

After hearing this, Buddha gave Shi Zhongkui an angry look.

But Shi Zhongkui then realized that it was already a fact that Laojun divided Western religions. As long as the fundamental issues were not involved, Tathagata really did not need to worry about what the two Western saints would do to him.

Smiling, he raised his hands and asked, "Uncle, would you like to help my nephew once?"

It would be beneficial to him to recognize Shi Zhongkui as his nephew.

From now on, whenever anyone wants to cause trouble, Shi Zhongkui and the forces behind him must also be taken into consideration.

Once he heard that he could become a Bodhisattva, Shi Zhongkui was still dissatisfied.

The Buddha didn't know what to say and said with a smile, "Although my nephew gave the pilgrim two sweat-blooded horses, within half a month, one of the horses was frightened and disappeared.

But Shi Zhongkui took the initiative, and Buddha couldn't refuse.

The Buddha hesitated again. This errand was originally planned to be done by Nanhai Bodhisattva, which was considered to give the Bodhisattva an opportunity to be kind to others.

Of course, if there was a dispute between Xuanmen and Western religions, Shi Zhongkui would not hesitate to stand for Xuanmen.

After all, if even the orthodoxy is lost, even a saint will be forgotten by the world.

This is a spiritual mountain. Even if the two Western saints retire and no longer care about worldly affairs, they definitely take their own Taoist inheritance more seriously than before.

The two powers harm each other, which is the lesser, not to mention that this move is beneficial to the acquisition of scriptures. The Buddha nodded, "Then there is Laoxian Nephew."

Just thinking about Shi Zhongkui's identity and how favored he was in the Human Sect and Chan Sect, it was better to drag him into the situation than to let him cause trouble everywhere.

But when you are working with Shi Zhongkui for the first time, you really need to show some respect, so as not to offend Shi Zhongkui and turn a good thing into a bad thing.

He smiled and said, "Back then, outside Hangu Pass, I got some advice from the old man, and that's why I became the respected monk I am today. If you think about it, the relationship between the poor monk and the emperor is not simple."

After saying this, Shi Zhongkui suddenly realized that he couldn't say this, lest he owe the Buddha a favor.

Even after decades of waiting for the new emperor to die, the subsequent emperor would directly become Shi Zhongkui's descendant, which would further highlight the transcendent status of him and Princess Changle.

Buddha immediately decided to win over Shi Zhongkui and show his favor.

Although Ao Lie is definitely a Bodhisattva with no real power, he is still a Bodhisattva after all. With this status, many things will be easier to handle in the future.

Only then did the poor monk get up and start looking for a magical horse to serve as a legworker for the pilgrims."

"Just listen to my uncle's advice. My nephew will wait for the scripture seekers to go to the Snake Coil Mountain and Yingchou Stream, and then he will personally go and convince Ao Lie."

It is expected that the remaining BMW will not be able to carry the pilgrims across thousands of mountains and rivers.

Shi Zhongkui was very clever and quickly realized that since he had never wanted to subvert Western religion, he could not possibly disrupt the orthodoxy of the two saints.

"How about becoming a member of the Eight Tribes of Heavenly Dragons and Guangli Bodhisattva?"

At that time, if Shi Zhongkui was overtly or covertly suppressing Buddhism, no one would be able to restrain him.

"After hearing that the third prince of Xihai violated the laws of nature, the Dragon King of Xihai begged his wise nephew. Then the Jade Emperor showed mercy and punished Ao Lie in the Yingchou Stream of Snake Pan Mountain?"

After hearing this, Shi Zhongkui was so shocked that his temples bulged several times.

The Buddha laughed with satisfaction, but did not want Shi Zhongkui to continue asking, "I just don't know what kind of job my nephew Ao Lie will have if he carries Buddhist monks up to the Lingshan Mountain and enjoys the enlightenment?

You can't work hard all the way and finally become an ordinary dragon among the eight tribes, right?"

Now, he was worried that Shi Zhongkui was not willing to recognize him as his uncle, so he used words to hint, so as not to say it out loud first. After being rejected, it would be the Buddha himself who was embarrassed.

Even making good friends with Buddha is equivalent to receiving protection from Taoism, Heaven, and Western Buddhism, and the benefits will naturally be greater.

If you can get the origin of the innate golden lotus, why not lower your posture?

Besides, it would be of no benefit to continue to conflict with Western religions after the journey to the West.

In this case, Tathagata of course only cares about his own rule over Lingshan.

When the time comes, his prestige in Lingshan will inevitably plummet, and he may change from a present Buddha to a past Buddha like the Deng Deng Buddha.

He hurriedly changed his words and said, "Uncle, don't worry. As long as my uncle is willing to help me, my nephew will definitely ensure that the Buddhist scripture seeker goes to Lingshan smoothly. And if my uncle lacks someone who can test the character and perseverance of the scripture seeker, I might as well reward him with some benefits. Please ask my nephew."

The soldiers under the account will help."

Besides, considering that the six saints listened to the sermon in the Zixiao Palace together and were both disciples of the Taoist ancestors, it was actually more appropriate for the Tathagata to call Shi Zhongkui his nephew.

It is his blessing to be favored by his uncle and allow him to have a decent background."

There is no need to have a mortal enmity with Western religions.

Shi Zhongkui laughed and waved his hands. After the laughter was over, he looked at the Buddha without moving.

However, as Shi Zhongkui's status as a second-grade emperor, he personally went to persuade Ao Lie, which also meant that Xuanmen began to agree with the plan to obtain scriptures.

The Buddha knew that he was seeking benefits from himself.

"My good nephew might as well take out the eighth-grade lotus platform for the poor monk to take a closer look at. Perhaps there is no need for the poor monk's eighth-grade golden lotus to expend his original power. Our Western religion has other treasures that my good nephew can use."

Shi Zhongkui shook his head without thinking. The Xiantian Lotus Platform was his own magic weapon. Even if Yuanshi Tianzun and I wanted to see it, he might not agree to it.

Not to mention the Buddha who still doesn't know whether he will be a friend or an enemy in the future.
