Chapter 85 The Virgin Mary said that the disciples are priceless

However, it is said that Shakyamuni Buddha and the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit rushed to the Lion Camel Ridge one after another. After a secret battle, both of them finally appeared. Then, the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit clashed with the words of Buddha Sakyamuni. Although the Buddhists are eloquent, they are only relatively speaking. If they are good for the other two sects or scattered immortal monks, they are often defeated by the disciples of the sect. The Virgin Mary of the Turtle's pretended to anger Buddha Shakyamuni to death.

After several times, Shakyamuni Buddha had been laughed at by the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit, and he did not want to be entangled with it anymore. He directly cut to the point and questioned the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit.

The Virgin of the Turtle Spirit listened to the words of Shakyamuni Buddha, but she still had that expression and said with a smile, "The Taoist friend's words have passed. The reason why the poor Taoist priest ordered the six-eared brother to come is to make this disaster more difficult. Taoist friends also know that the more difficult the journey to the west is, the more merits they will gain in the future. It's just that Taoist friends don't appreciate it. It's really unreasonable to question the poor way. With that, he shook his head pretending to be sad.

Buddha Shakyamuni listened to the words of the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit and saw her expression, but he was a little unable to laugh or cry. He sighed, "Alas! It is said that my Buddhism is so clever, but it is still far worse than the interception. Only now did the poor monk know the highest level of clever tongue. Thinking about it, the eyes of Buddha Shakyamuni looking at the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit also changed a little.

When the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit saw Shakyamuni Buddha, she didn't look at it. She just stared at herself and suddenly had some doubts. She thought there was something on her face and subconsciously touched her face.

When Buddha Sakyamuni saw the action of the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit, he suddenly came to his senses. Thinking of his behavior just now, he couldn't help blushing. He coughed gently, covered up his embarrassment, and then said, "Taoist friend, you and I know what the truth is, and the poor monks don't say much. The poor monk just wants to ask for an explanation from his Taoist friends this time, otherwise how can the poor monk be worthy of the dead peers? After saying that, Buddha Sakyamuni looked at the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit with a straight face.

The Virgin of the Turtle heard this, but she frowned and didn't know how to answer. Buddha Shakyamuni has explained that if she still messes around and pretends not to know, she will be looked down on. However, the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit really didn't know how to answer Shakyamuni Buddha's words. According to what she had thought before, she killed it. She came here and scolded her and waited for her to go back with six ears. Anyway, Shakyamuni Buddha did not dare to do anything against him.

But now, Buddha Sakyamuni comes with such a 'soft knife', but the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit doesn't know how to deal with it. After thinking about it, the Holy Mother of the Turtle must have in her heart, but she decided to say it to Shakyamuni Buddha.

At the moment, the Virgin Mary of the Turtle looked solemn and said, "Taoist friend! Let's make it clear to you! You have too many Buddhist disciples, and the sect of Taoist friends is still recruiting disciples. It is intolerable to be so poor. Taoist friends also know that my power to intercept religion is enough to soar to the sky. Even if you destroy the other three religions, it is not impossible, but why didn't I do this? Have you ever thought about this truth? After saying that, the Virgin Mary of the Turtle stared at Shakyamuni Buddha.

Buddha Shakyamuni was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then lowered his head and thought about it.

Seeing this, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit continued: "Say a disrespectful word, with the strength of my religion, even if the three Taoist friends unite, our religion is sure to win. But my teaching did not do so, and my teacher Tongtian did not arrange this way. Why? Under the way of heaven, there can be no one religion alone. Moreover, our teacher is the kindness of the Lord of Heaven. We know that a unique show is not spring, and it is spring when a hundred flowers bloom, so there is no action. Among the many brothers and sisters of poor Taoism, there are also many people who are dissatisfied with the three teachings of Taoism, but we still endured it and did not have any extreme travel. Just like in the battle of the Jiuqu Yellow River in those years, didn't the three junior sisters, Yunxiao, Bixiao and Qiongxiao, let Guang Chengzi and others go? Do you think my three junior sisters can't kill them? After saying that, the Holy Mother of the Turtle looked at Buddha Sakyamuni with a sincere face.

The words of Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit are true. With the current situation of interception, it is not impossible to destroy the three teachings of man, interpretation and Buddhism, but the interception does not do this, but is afraid of destroying the general trend of heaven. In the previous life, the interception was destroyed by the Intercept Church and Buddhism. What will happen to the end of the Intercept? It's not a mess! Even if it is not much worse than the interception, it is the human religion and Buddhism that ultimately benefit. At the time of the disaster of the last Dharma, both the people's religion and Buddhism flourished, but the interpretation and the interception did not even have a name.

Such an ending has nothing to do with the destruction of Jiejiao and the destruction of the general trend of heaven. Therefore, Tongtian will never destroy any religion, even the Buddhism he hates.

At this time, Buddha Shakyamuni listened to the words of the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit, but bowed his head and said no words.

After a long time, Buddha Sakyamuni looked up and said, "The words of Taoist friends are reasonable. But the poor monks don't understand. You know, no matter how many Buddhist disciples I have, I'm afraid they can't threaten the interception of Taoist friends. Moreover, the interception of Taoist friends is the two saints of Tongtian and Hou Tu Niangniang, and they are even more worry-free. So, why do Taoist friends want to kill me next time and bad my Buddhist luck? My Buddhism has never done anything to destroy the balance of heaven. After saying that, he looked at the Virgin Mary with a puzzled face.

In fact, there is still a sentence in Buddha Shakyamuni's heart that has not been said. That is, why does Interceptism compete with his Buddhism everywhere? Normally, the interception is located in the east, and the biggest enemy should be humanism and interpretation, but the interception is not the same as Buddhism, which makes Shakyamuni Buddha have a headache.

The Virgin of the Turtle Spirit listened to the words of Shakyamuni Buddha, thought for a moment, and said, "The poor Tao understands the meaning of Taoist friends. Now that it has been said for this, there is nothing to hide. This crackdown on the Buddhism of Taoist friends is not only for me, but also for human education and interpretation.

Hearing this, Buddha Sakyamuni frowned and asked, "What's the explanation of Taoist friend's words?"

Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit smiled and said, "I am now the largest religion in the flood. Even if my strength has stagnated for thousands of years, I'm afraid you and the other three religions can't catch up with it. Ha ha! Poverty is not to show off. You should know that this is both an advantage and a responsibility. Since I am the largest religion in the flood and famine, I naturally have to contribute to the balance of the flood and famine. There are too many disciples of Taoist Buddhism. Even the total number of the three sects is not as good as that of Buddhism. Isn't this bad for the balance of the four sects?

Hearing this, Shakyamuni Buddha looked at the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit doubtfully and said, "Taoist friends also know that although I have many Buddhist disciples, my cultivation is not high, which is difficult to compare with the three Eastern Religions. Moreover, the West is barren and there are few spiritual treasures, and it is not as good as you. If there are not many disciples, isn't it useless? What kind of balance is there?"

Hearing this, the divine light flashed in her eyes and said lightly, "Soon after, Taoist friends will feel that disciples are much more important than Lingbao." After a pause, he continued, "Poverty Taoism should give Taoist friends a bottom line. Before the next disaster comes, Taoist friends and Buddhist disciples should not exceed 10,000. If they pass this number, the Taoist friends should not be blamed for being poor and cruel. Each is his own master, and he has to do it. Of course, if the number of disciples of the second religion increases a lot, it will also depend on the situation and will not embarrass Taoist friends.

Our Lady of the Turtles said that disciples are more important than Lingbao, but they are not delusional. Previously, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit said to the Virgin Mary that there are many important surnames of disciples. In the future, when competing for the hegemony of the universe, it will definitely need countless disciples. At that time, the disciples are naturally more precious than spiritual treasures. After all, the vast universe is vast, and there are many good spiritual treasures, but if there are not many disciples and can't be explored, it is not only spiritual treasures, even luck will be reduced.

Therefore, the Virgin Mary of the Turtle dares to assert that disciples are more important than the treasure. It is to see this that the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit wants to control the number of Buddhists and not to lag too far behind.

After listening to the words of Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit, Shakyamuni Buddha gave her a deep look and then said, "Since the Taoist friend said so, the poor monk has nothing to say. I follow Buddhism. Before the next disaster, my Buddhist disciples will never exceed 10,000 people.

When the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit saw that Shakyamuni Buddha agreed, she was overjoyed and sighed: "Alas! Taoist friends are righteous and poor. In fact, the poor Taoism also has to be done. If he said that the Buddhism of Taoist friends can become the largest religion in the flood and famine, he will naturally understand the painstaking efforts of poverty. After saying that, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit took a complicated look at Sakyamuni Buddha, but she felt a little guilty.

Although what the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit said before is true and there is no lie, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit still adds misleading meaning to it. Now when I see that Shakyamuni Buddha agrees without hesitation, I feel a little uncomfortable, but I feel a little guilty.

Buddha Shakyamuni listened to the words of Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit, smiled and said, "Let's talk about it then." After saying that, he took a look at the Virgin Mary of the Turtle again and said, "In this case, I will not investigate this matter. I hope that my Taoist friends will release Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice. I will go back to the West."

Hearing this, Our Lady of the Turtles nodded slightly and said, "It should be like this." After saying that, he turned around and motioned to Liu Er.

Seeing this, Liu Er nodded, and then let his little demon release Tang Sanzang.

After doing this, Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit turned to Buddha Sakyamuni again and said, "Now that this matter is over, I will leave." After saying that, he nodded to Shakyamuni Buddha and others, and then drove away with Liu Er, Wushou Immortal, Lingya Fairy and Jinguang Immortal. As for the small demons on the lion camel ridge, they are also included in the twelve black lotus of the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit. Although these little demons are not climatic, they can still be used to do chores.

Looking at the distant Virgin Mary of the Turtle and others, Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help asking, "Why did the Buddha give in so much?" Although what the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit said is reasonable, according to the disciples, there are many biases. How can the Buddha be so wise, how can he easily follow it?

Shakyamuni Buddha turned his head and looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva and said with a smile, "Even if I don't agree, what can I do?"

Hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva was slightly stunned, and then lowered his head with some embarrassment. Buddha Shakyamuni's words are straight to the point. It's completely meaningless for them to answer whether they agree or not. Do they still have to fight with the Virgin Mary of the Turtle and others? Forget it. Even if the Buddhists present besiege together, I'm afraid they won't be able to hurt the Virgin Mary. So what can they do? There is only one way to compromise.

When Sakyamuni Buddha saw the embarrassment of Guanyin Bodhisattva, he smiled and said, "The Venerable Guanyin doesn't have to do this. The reason why the poor monk promised the turtle spirit and Taoist friends is that he has another calculation."

"Oh?" After listening to the words of Shakyamuni Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva answered gently, and then asked, "I don't know what the Buddha's plan is?"

Shakyamuni Buddha looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva with a smile and said, "This matter is just a guess of the poor monk, but there is nothing wrong with it. As for what... hehe! Lord Guanyin only needs to think carefully about the words of the turtle spirit and Taoist friends. At this point, Buddha Shakyamuni paused slightly, and then said, "If the Venerable Guanyin guesses, don't mention it to others, even if I teach my disciples, it won't."

Hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva was slightly stunned, and then nodded and said, "Disciple, please obey the order of the Buddha."

Buddha Shakyamuni smiled, then turned to the Monkey King beside Guanyin Bodhisattva and said, "Wukong! When these days come down, you must have learned about the scriptures. Ha ha! Don't worry, after this, there will be no greater disaster. It won't be long before we meet in Elyss.

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Then the Buddha should prepare well so that my old grandson can get the true scriptures!"

Buddha Shakyamuni laughed and said, "Hahahaha! Wukong can rest assured that the poor monk will be ready.

Sun Wukong smiled softly, and then said goodbye to Shakyamuni Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva and others. He lowered the cloud head and went to find Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.
