Chapter 37 War of words, the number of six or six

However, after the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit learned that Buddhism was ready to be with them, she invited the Virgin Mary and others, but she planned to discuss how to deal with the Buddhist people. In the end, the conclusion of the genius and Taoist, the disciple of Wuyun Immortal, was recognized by everyone. After confirming, everyone dispersed and waited for the negotiation.

In the morning of the next day, Shakyamuni Buddha and the Lantern Ancient Buddha and others have arrived here. After a period of false salute, they directly got to the point. Unfortunately, the two words of Buddhism were interrupted by the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, first Shakyamuni Buddha, and then the Lantern Ancient Buddha.

At present, the ancient Buddha listened to the words of the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, and his expression was very embarrassed, but he didn't know how to explain it. Moreover, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit and others looked at the Buddhist people with a bad face at this time, which made them extremely nervous.

Seeing this situation, Shakyamuni Buddha took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then said, "Mumbling without Amitabha Buddha, the poor monk came with sincerity this time. I hope you Taoist friends can also treat each other sincerely. If you have been like this, then we don't need to talk about it anymore." After saying that, he looked at the Virgin Mary with a sincere face.

After listening to the words of Shakyamuni Buddha, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit and others were slightly embarrassed, but in order to strive for the smoothness of the next negotiation, they had to do so. Thinking of this, everyone immediately recovered.

After recovering, she heard the Holy Mother of the Turtle laugh and said, "It's a little stingy! Since the Taoist friends have said this, the poor Taoist is not pretentious. Please ask the Taoist friends to say the conditions of Buddhism. The poor Taoist and your brothers and sisters to see if it is feasible.

When Buddha Sakyamuni saw that the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit finally became serious, he was slightly relieved, and then bowed his head and meditated.

After a while, Shakyamuni Buddha looked up at the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit and said, "The Taoist friend of Yunxiao said that my Buddhist scriptures were set at twenty-five books, but it was a little less. Taoist friends also know how to promote my Buddhism in 25 scriptures? If so, wouldn't it be useless for me to teach this preaching? Then what's the use of waiting for the law? At that time, not to mention other things, the poor monks and others will not be able to explain to the two masters in the first place. After saying that, Buddha Shakyamuni looked at the Virgin Mary with a sad face.

The Virgin of the Turtle Spirit listened to the words of Buddha Sakyamuni and saw his expression. She was very disdainful in her heart and said secretly, "Buddhist people are really eloquent, and they are worthy of spitting lotus flowers! Coupled with a natural good skin, acting is both true and false. No wonder Buddhism has the current momentum. After thinking about it, the Virgin Mary of the Turtle's face remained unchanged and asked faintly, "Well, I don't know how many scriptures do you think you can pass on?" After saying that, he looked at Sakyamuni Buddha indifferently.

When Buddha Sakyamuni saw the appearance of the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit, he couldn't help but be secretly vigilant in his heart. The tactics of intercepting the enemy's weakness were famous in the whole world. His Buddhism and Laozi's primitive human teachings and interpretation were played by him, which can be said to have suffered a lot. Not to mention, it is said that the great disaster of the gods was just completed not long ago. The interception used this trick to hide the other three religions, so that the alliance of the three religions split, and in the two sides were defeated in the end. Such a lesson from the past has to be borrowed by Shakyamuni Buddha.

Therefore, the more indifferent the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit is, the more vigilant the Buddha of Sakyamuni Buddha is, even the ancient Buddha and others are staring at the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit with a strange look, as if they want to see something from it. For a moment, both sides were silent, and the scene was a little deserted.

After everyone meditated for a moment, Shakyamuni Buddha said, "I taught that nine hundred and eighty-eighty-one scriptures are needed. Since you Taoist friends think it is inappropriate, the poor monk will make the decision, reduce it by one hundred and change it to eighty-eight hundred and sixty-four. I don't know what you Taoist friends think?" After saying that, Buddha Shakyamuni's eyes flashed and stared at the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit.

After listening to the number of Buddha Sakyamuni's words, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit immediately laughed out loud, and then said, "Do you think that the poor Taoist and others will be the people who fight for this part of the scriptures? Please show some sincerity, otherwise I don't need to talk about it anymore. After saying that, the Virgin Mary of the Turtle looked coldly at Sakyamuni Buddha.

Hearing this, Shakyamuni Buddha frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "In this case, please tell your friends what's in your heart, so that the poor monks can think about it."

The Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit smiled and said, "Hasn't the number in the heart of the poor Taoist spirit been told to the Taoist friends? What Sister Yunxiao said before is just the meaning of poverty. After saying that, he looked at Shakyamuni Buddha with a smile.

When Buddha Sakyamuni heard the words of Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit, his face changed in vain and he whispered, "The poor monk came with sincerity, but it seems that Taoist friends are not like this, so we don't need to talk about it anymore." After saying that, he stood up directly and was ready to go out. Seeing this, the ancient Buddha and others on the side also got up one after another and prepared to leave with Shakyamuni Buddha.

Seeing this, the Virgin Mary of the Turtle frowned, and then gave an eye to the Virgin Mary.

When the Virgin Mary saw the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit like this, she immediately agreed. She got up and stopped the Buddhist people and said with a smile, "Taoist friends, please stay. Since it is a negotiation, it is naturally not enough to reach an agreement in a while. Why do you Taoist friends have to leave here? My senior sister didn't say that the number of twenty-five parts is the final number, and everything needs to be decided after discussion.

Shakyamuni Buddha and others were just pretentious and didn't really want to leave. After listening to the words of the Buddha, they hurriedly borrowed the donkey down the slope and said, "What the Taoist friends said was very true, but the poor Taoist and others were a little gaffe." After saying that, everyone sat back to their original position again.

After everyone sat down, they saw the Virgin Mary closing her eyes and saying no words, which made the Buddhist people a little embarrassed.

When the Virgin Mary saw this situation, she said to the Buddhist people, "My senior sister's previous words were unpleasant, but it is indeed reasonable. You know that if it is only reduced by one percentage, why do I have to wait to come out of the mountain? This ideal must be known to all Taoist friends.

Hearing this, Shakyamuni Buddha frowned and said, "But what the poor monk said before is not false. The number of 25 parts set by Taoist friends and others is too small. We can't explain to the two masters, and many disciples of Buddhism will not accept it, and the poor monks are also in a dilemma." After saying that, he looked at the Virgin Mary with an embarrassed face.

When the Virgin of Wudang saw this, she bowed her head and pondered for a moment, and then sighed and said, "Since the Taoist friend has made his words clear, the poor Taoist will tell the truth. This time, it is not that the poor Taoists and others insist on being embarrassed with your Taoist friends. The teacher passed on the decree to us before, and we have to do it. After saying that, the Virgin Mary looked at Sakyamuni Buddha and others with a helpless face.

When Shakyamuni Buddha and others heard this, they were all stunned, and then they were shocked and said secretly, "It turns out that the saint of Tongtian has already had a plan. No wonder they reacted so fiercely." Thinking of this, everyone was secretly surprised.

Sakyamuni Buddha bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then looked at the Virgin Mary and asked, "I don't know how the number of saints in the sky is set by your Taoist friends?" After saying that, Shakyamuni Buddha's eyes flashed and stared at the Virgin Mary tightly. Even the ancient Buddha and others beside him also looked at the Virgin Mary nervously.

When the Virgin Mary listened to the words of Buddha Sakyamuni, she was secretly happy, but she looked embarrassed on her face and said, "This poor way can't be told to Taoist friends."

Shakyamuni Buddha and others were a little disappointed when they heard this, but they immediately returned to their original state.

After thinking for a moment, Buddha Shakyamuni decided not to delay any longer. After all, the longer the matter was entrusted, the more harmless it was to the interception, but his Buddhism was a little unbearable. Therefore, Shakyamuni Buddha decided to make a quick decision and said directly, "The poor monk told his Taoist friends clearly that the mother of Buddha I had taught before has also been rumored to the poor monk that the scriptures should not be less than 7,749 this time. This is the bottom line of the poor monk. I don't know what you think?"

When the Virgin Mary heard this, she frowned. Just as she was about to answer, she saw the first Virgin Mary suddenly open her eyes, looked at Buddha Sakyamuni faintly, and said, "I'm afraid what the Taoist friend said is a little untrue, right? The poor Taoist will not be embarrassed by his Taoist friends. The number previously determined by the teacher was thirty-six at that time. If the Taoist friends can agree to this number, the poor Taoist will no longer be embarrassed by the Taoist friends.

When Buddha Sakyamuni heard this, he was a little reluctant. Although the bottom line of the Buddha's mother said was the same as what the Virgin of the turtle spirit said, if so, the effect of this Buddhist transmission will probably be minimized. How can Shakyamuni Buddha be willing?

Thinking of this, Buddha said to the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit, "This number is a little less. You know, even if Taoist friends and others promise me to pass on the 279 scriptures, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my Buddhism to flourish. If it is reduced again, it will be useless to pass the Dharma this time. Why bother the poor monks to plan?" After saying that, the expression was very difficult.

I have to say that Sakyamuni Buddha's acting skills are not bad, and the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit is also confused by her. Fortunately, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit remembers the previous guess of the genius and Taoist in her heart and said cruelly, "It's not that the poor Taoist friends are in a dilemma. It's really difficult for the teacher's life. Please forgive me!" If Taoist friends really can't agree, then poor Taoism can only give up the opportunity in the near future and try their best to entangle with Taoist friends. There was a dangerous meaning in his tone, and Shakyamuni Buddha and others frowned.

After listening to the words of the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, Shakyamuni Buddha lowered his head and meditated. After a long time, he still did not speak.

Seeing this, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit bowed her head and thought for a moment, and then said, "In the matter of the scriptures, the poor Taoist can't help Taoist friends, but if the Taoist friends can agree to the poor Taoist's proposal, then the poor Taoist can be compensated elsewhere." After saying that, he looked at Shakyamuni Buddha with a smile.

Hearing this, Shakyamuni Buddha took a doubtful look at the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit and asked, "I don't know how to compensate my friend?"

Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit smiled and said, "This Journey to the West also has merit. If the disaster on the way to the Journey to the West is difficult to increase, then the merit will certainly increase. If Taoist friends send their Buddhist disciples to be in a dilemma with those who learn scriptures, and belong to the same religion, I'm afraid that the merits will not increase much. But if the poor Taoist disciples go, the effect must be different.

When Sakyamuni Buddha heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he calmed down. He asked faintly, "I don't know how you plan to arrange it?" After saying that, he glanced at the Virgin Mary of the Turtle. The Lantern Ancient Buddha and others on the side also looked at the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit, especially Guanyin Bodhisattva, with a slight expectation. After all, most of the things about the Journey to the West were arranged by her. If the merits and virtues increased, she would be the biggest beneficiary.

The Virgin of the Turtle smiled and said, "The difficulty of Huangfengling is extremely difficult. There will be a lot of merits in the future. In addition, the poor Tao will also arrange two disasters, which will definitely satisfy Taoist friends. In this way, the merits should not be less than those of Ninety-nine Eighty-one. What do you think of Taoist friends?"

After hearing this, Buddha Sakyamuni immediately began to measure in his heart. It can be said that the proposal of the Mother of the Turtle Spirit is the best ending. The bottom line previously set by the Buddha's Mother is also thirty-six. Now the Virgin Mary of the Turtles promises that the merits will not be reduced, so they are not at a loss.

Thinking of this, Shakyamuni Buddha must have it in his heart, and then pretended to think for a moment. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just follow the proposal of Taoist friends."

Seeing this, the burning lamp of the ancient Buddha beside him flashed in his eyes, and then advised Shakyamuni Buddha, "Buddha, how can I explain it to the Buddha's mother?" The word of burning the lamp is to relieve the siege with the Buddha of Sakyamuni. After all, the previous Buddha of the Buddha of Shakyamuni said that the number of Buddha's mother was not the same, but now he has promised the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit, which is inevitably criticized. As soon as the words of the ancient Buddha came out, they washed away the previous words of Shakyamuni Buddha, which made Shakyamuni Buddha grateful.

At the moment, Shakyamuni Buddha gave a look to the ancient Buddha, and then said bitterly, "Alas! At this point, the poor monks are also helpless. The poor monks at the Buddha's mother will explain, and the ancient Buddhas don't have to worry. After saying that, he sighed again and looked very helpless
