Chapter 86 Heaven and Earth Change, Taoist Ancestors Calling

However, she said that the Virgin Mary of the Turtle could not stand the 'soft knife' of Shakyamuni Buddha, so she directly said the bottom line in her heart and told some secrets. After a few thoughts, Shakyamuni agreed with the proposal of the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit. Then, the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit returned to Dongsheng Shenzhou with Liuer and other people and a group of little demons on the Lion Camel Ridge. Shakyamuni Buddha first instructed the Monkey King to send him away, then turned to the crowd and said, "Well, let's go back to the world of liss."

When everyone heard this, they naturally had no objection, and then put away the bodies of the Buddhist people and flew to the west with Shakyamuni Buddha. Only Guanyin Bodhisattva declined the meaning of Shakyamuni Buddha and returned to the purple bamboo forest in the South China Sea.

After Sakyamuni Buddha and the great Bodhisattva rushed back to the west all the way, Sakyamuni Buddha should arrange for the poor monks and others to go down to rest, and he himself called for the light of the ancient Buddha to discuss.

Not long after, the ancient Buddha arrived, and Shakyamuni Buddha invited him to a secret room. After sitting down, Shakyamuni Buddha told all the things on the lion camel ridge to the ancient Buddha, and finally asked, "I don't know what the ancient Buddha has to do with this?"

The ancient Buddha frowned for a moment and said, "The Buddha's resolution is indeed in harmony with the situation at that time. There is Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit. Even if we start, our religion will not take advantage of it. But in this way, my Buddhism not only lost face, but also many disciples fell, which is not good for the luck of the great religion!" After saying that, the ancient Buddha looked at Shakyamuni Buddha with some concern.

Buddha Shakyamuni nodded and said, "What the ancient Buddha said is very good, but the poor monks had nothing to do at that time. If they started, they could not say that I would fall a few of my disciples, so the poor monks endured it." After a pause, he continued, "Moreover, there is something in the words of the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, and the poor monk also has some speculation, but I don't know if it is correct."

Hearing this, the ancient Buddha was slightly stunned, and then asked, "What's your guess?"

Buddha Shakyamuni lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "The Virgin of the Turtle Spirit is a saying. Soon, the disciples will become more important than the spiritual treasure. It was after hearing this that the poor monk made up his mind to let this fight to save his disciples. The poor monk guessed that something big would happen soon, so the Holy Mother of the Turtle would say so. After saying that, there was a flash of light in the eyes of Shakyamuni Buddha, and the 'big event' naturally represented great interests, which made Shakyamuni Buddha excited.

The Lantern Ancient Buddha listened to the words of Shakyamuni Buddha, but he was not as optimistic as he was. He thought for a moment and said worriedly, "But if this is a fake news deliberately released by the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit, won't we wait for the bamboo basket to make water in vain?"

Shakyamuni Buddha smiled and said, "Don't worry about the ancient Buddha. The poor monk's calculation may not be as good as the Turtle's Virgin, but it's turn to distinguish between true and false, but the poor monk may not lose her."

Hearing this, the ancient Buddha looked at Shakyamuni Buddha suspiciously. No wonder the ancient Buddha doubts that if Shakyamuni Buddha can really distinguish between true and false, how can he be the head of the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit? It's just that the 'dipt' has made Buddhism lose face, and now even the disciples have suffered heavy losses.

When Buddha Sakyamuni saw the expression of the ancient Buddha, he thought about it for a moment and knew what he was thinking. Immediately, she coughed awkwardly and said, "The Virgin Turtle didn't lie about the previous thing. She did send a dilemma to teach me. What happened afterwards may have been figured out afterwards. After saying that, he looked at the ancient Buddha with some embarrassment.

The ancient Buddha listened to Sakyamuni's words, raised his eyebrows and said secretly, "That's true. At the beginning, I thought that the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit was just a bargaining chip to make me agree to the 'number of thirty-six'. Who would have expected that he would tamper with this 'dgedy'! Moreover, what Sakyamuni said is not bad. Maybe the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit is really calculated later.

Thinking of this, the ancient Buddha must be in his heart, and then looked at Shakyamuni Buddha and asked, "Since the Buddha is so confident, I don't know what the Buddha's plan for this matter?"

Buddha Shakyamuni smiled and said, "Since Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit says that disciples will be more important than spiritual treasures, we can open the mountain gate and accept disciples to deal with future things. I don't know what the ancient Buddha thinks?"

The ancient Buddha frowned and said worriedly, "But the Buddha did not promise the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit. My disciples should not exceed 10,000 people. With such a large number of disciples, how can the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit give up?"

Buddha Shakyamuni's eyes flashed and said with a smile, "Ten thousand people are enough. How many disciples does the ancient Buddha think that man, interpretation and interception can have?"

Hearing this, the light-burning ancient Buddha's eyes lit up, and then smiled and said, "I'm afraid their three teachings are less than 10,000 people." The ancient Buddha knew in his heart that it was impossible for Laozi and the primitive two to accept too many disciples, especially Laozi. So far, there is only a personal disciple of Xuandu Master, and there are not many named disciples, only a few long eyebrows and eight immortals. And Xuandu Master and others were influenced by Laozi and did not receive many disciples. Nature cannot be compared with Buddhism.

As for the primitive emperor, he values his origin too much, and it is impossible to accept apprentices. And his disciples are all arrogant people. They look down on people who are different from the way. However, the prestige of the human race is limited, and there are not many disciples of the human race. How can there be many such disciples?

And the rest of the interception is also unlikely. Although the master of Tongtianism has no religion, he has fewer disciples than the primitive Tianzun (pro-passed disciples). If it hadn't been for the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit and others, they would have been competitive. If they had received a lot of disciples, the interception might have been worse than the interpretation.

Therefore, even if the three teachings of people, interpretation and interception work hard, it may be impossible to surpass Buddhism in number of people.

After listening to the words of the ancient Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha nodded and said with a smile, "That's good! It is impossible for the other three sects to surpass my teaching in terms of number of people. Even if I teach to maintain the status quo, I can't stop recruiting disciples. In this way, if what the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit said is true, then my teaching will be very prosperous. In the end, Shakyamuni Buddha was overjoyed and his face was full of smiles.

The ancient Buddha also smiled, then lowered his head and thought for a moment, saying, "Since the Buddha has a plan, the poor monk doesn't say much. Buddha can rest assured that the poor monk will do his best to help him.

Hearing this, Shakyamuni Buddha waved his hand and said, "The poor monk invited the ancient Buddha to come this time just to hear the opinions of the ancient Buddha. I don't know if the ancient Buddha thinks it's better for my teaching to maintain the status quo for the time being? Or open the mountain gate immediately and recruit disciples?

Hearing this, the ancient Buddha frowned, and then began to bow his head and think.

After a while, the ancient Buddha looked up at Shakyamuni Buddha and said, "In the eyes of the poor monk, we'd better keep the status quo for the time being. Buddha also knows that soon it will be the time for the growth of heaven, and we can't let our disciples miss such a great opportunity. But if you recruit disciples at this time, I'm afraid there will be a delay. Moreover, maintaining the status quo can also make the interception people relax their vigilance against me, but they kill two birds with one stone. I don't know what Buddha thinks?

After listening to the words of the ancient Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha was overjoyed and said, "What the ancient Buddha said is very good, and the poor monks also think it is so good." After a pause, he said worriedly, "Listen to the words before and after the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit, it seems that there will be a 'this kind of' situation in the next disaster, so the poor monk is a little hesitant." After saying that, his face was full of sadness.

When the ancient Buddha saw Sakyamuni Buddha's sad face, he smiled and said, "Why should the Buddha be worried? In the eyes of the poor monk, this is the Virgin Mary of the Turtle who deliberately misled the Buddha. You should know that no matter how their three teachings develop, their number of people will not exceed ours. So, why should the Buddha be in a hurry? The Holy Mother of the Turtle also wanted to see this point clearly, so she deliberately made it clear that I could teach my disciples to lose this opportunity. After saying that, the ancient Buddha looked at Shakyamuni Buddha with a confident face.

I have to say that the feeling of burning the lamp of the ancient Buddha is keen. The reason why the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit previously set the time as the next disaster is exactly this intention. Because the Holy Mother of the Turtle and others are preparing for the growth of heaven soon, they can't be distracted from the apprentices. In this way, the gap with Buddhism will become wider and wider. In view of this, Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit intends to let Buddhism lose this opportunity. In this way, even if there are many disciples in Buddhism, if the cultivation can't keep up, the gap between them is still very small.

At the moment, when Sakyamuni Buddha listened to the words of the ancient Buddha, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said happily, "What the ancient Buddha said is reasonable. I'm afraid the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit really means that. In this case, we will try our best to prepare for the growth of heaven, and we will talk about other things later. After a pause, he smiled and said, "Moreover, after this, the matter of the journey to the west has also been settled. We don't need to be distracted by this. We just prepare for this matter."

Listening to this, the ancient Buddha nodded with a smile.

After that, the ancient Buddha did not return to his Taoist field and stayed directly in the world of Bliss, either discussing Taoism or practicing with Shakyamuni Buddha

Time flies, and a hundred years have passed in a blink of an eye.

At this time, the four masters and apprentices of Tang Sanzang had obtained the true scriptures, and the journey to the west was over, and the four masters and apprentices of Tang Sanzang were also sealed by Shakyamuni Buddha. Among them, Tang Sanzang was awarded the title of Tan Gongde Buddha, Sun Wukong was awarded the title of Fighting Victory Buddha, Zhu Bajie was awarded the title of Messenger of the Pure Altar, Sha Wujing was awarded the title of Golden Arhat, and the White Dragon Horse was awarded the title of Eight Dragons.

However, although Zhu Bajie was sealed, he did not stay in the West. Instead, he turned back to Shouyang Mountain and went back to Xuandu Master. Sha Wujing was persuaded by Guanyin Bodhisattva to officially betray the interpretation and became a Buddhist disciple.

This time, Buddhism has also gained a lot of benefits. Not to mention anything else, the merits obtained after the Journey to the West are enough to make the Buddhists laugh. Guanyin Bodhisattva took advantage of this merits to cut off the evil corpses and become the fourth master of Buddhism to cut off two corpses. The first three are naturally Shakyamuni Buddha, the Lantern Ancient Buddha and the Buddha.

Maitreya Buddha, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Puxian Bodhisattva are all jealous when they see Guanyin Bodhisattva having this opportunity. They all regret why they didn't take over the Journey to the West at the beginning, and they lost this opportunity in vain. They really regret it.

In addition, after the Buddhist scriptures were transmitted to the east, many people in Nanzhanbuzhou also began to believe in Buddhism. Moreover, Shakyamuni Buddha also played a trick on it, combining the whole forty scriptures into thirty-six copies and passed them on to Tang Sanzang. In this way, although the teachings of Buddhism are still incomplete, they are also better than the thirty-six.

After a hundred years of development, the number of Buddhist believers in Nanzhanbuzhou gradually increased, and began to stand side by side with human education and interpretation. Buddhism finally rushed out of the barren Xiniu Hezhou and began to extend its power to Nanzhanbuzhou.

Although people and the Second Religion are dissatisfied with this, they have also used local advantages to suppress Buddhism many times. However, the power of Buddhism has been formed, and with the continuous influx of Buddhist disciples from Xiniu Hezhou to Nanzhanbuzhou, the momentum of Buddhism once overshadowed the two teachings. Therefore, there is nothing we can do about it. After suppressing for a while, when we see that the effect is not satisfactory, we turn a blind eye and acquiesce to the existence of Buddhism.

Since then, Nanzhanbuzhou has begun to form a three-legged tripod, with the coexistence of people, interpretation and Buddhism.

In this way, the earth fairy world is as calm as before, and it is getting closer and closer to the growth of the heavenly path. Many monks are preparing for this. Therefore, the earth fairyland is very calm. Only a few people visit relatives and friends and wander around.

Suddenly, I only heard a loud "boom", and many monks in the fairyland were puzzled when they heard this. But before they could think about what had happened, they felt a shaking of the four continents, especially the monks in Luzhou in the north, and they felt a whirlwind and roaring.

At the same time, the saints in the chaos also have a slight feeling. Seeing this situation, the saints who were originally plighting frowned one after another, and then released their divine consciousness and explored the earth fairyland to see what was going on.

At a glance, even if everyone has the cultivation of saints, they are all surprised. However, in the chaos outside Beiju Luzhou, there is actually a continent connected with Beiju Luzhou, and the two gradually began to merge. The breadth of this continent is unimaginable, and it is twice as large as that of Beiju Luzhou. However, the saints have found that there are no creatures in this continent.

Seeing this situation, all the saints were overjoyed, and even the sky was inexplicably surprised.

"If you can occupy this continent and develop your own sect, why worry about the lack of luck?" All the saints thought of it secretly in their hearts.

After thinking about it, everyone showed a bound-have expression, and then prepared to recruit their disciples to come, intending to order them to enter the mainland and take the lead.

Unfortunately, we haven't waited for the actions of the saints to change and regenerate.

"You should come to Zixiao Palace as soon as possible. I have something to tell you." The sound sounded in the ears of the saints in an instant.

After listening to the unchanging voice of ignoring the world, all the saints were shocked. They couldn't be more familiar with this voice. It was the voice of Daozu Hongjun.

"At this time, it is not a great disaster. What will happen to the Taoist ancestors?" The saints couldn't help thinking in their hearts. However, thinking of the abnormality of Beiju Luzhou, the saints suddenly became clear. Such a big event happened in Beiju Luzhou, and the Taoist ancestors in charge of the way of heaven naturally knew it, and it must be for this matter to invite them.

Thinking of this, the saints must be in their hearts, and then they got up one after another, went out of their respective dojos, and rushed to Zixiao Palace
