1156,temptation

There were originally four major continents in ancient times, but now there are two more. Naturally, it is very lively, but the new round of apotheosis of gods has begun, but it has to put many immortals and gods in a dilemma;

New territory means new resources, and it is still undeveloped virgin land. You don't need to think too much to understand the benefits;

However, these seem to be nothing compared to one's own life;

Therefore, in today's prehistoric times, most of the middle- and upper-class cultivators are very low-key. Even if they want to obtain something, they will send more accounts and disciples to go out. Especially in the Xuanwu Continent area, the middle- and lower-class monks can say that they are doing it every day.

There is no stopping;

That is to say, the territory is large enough. In the short term, everyone will focus on occupying the territory. After these territories are digested, a new round of shuffling will definitely take place.

Those who have not obtained the territory will definitely not be willing to accept it. Competition is inevitable. Those who have obtained the territory will only think about better and bigger things;

The benefits are like this, so what if you want to avoid them? Sooner or later they will find you;

Xuanwu Continent is located in the northeast of the prehistoric continent. To the west is Beiju Luzhou, to the south is Dongsheng Shenzhou, and to the southwest is the land of Zhongzhou Buzhou Mountain;

This kind of hell will determine that the future contenders will mostly be between the human race and the demon race. The human race is mainly based on Dongsheng Shenzhou, but this is a traditional area of ​​Taoism, with few Buddhists getting involved;

Nowadays, Buddhism is in great power and God's will is flourishing. On this basis, how can Buddhism give up on the newly emerged Xuanwu Continent?

Originally, in the eyes of any force, Buddhism would definitely set foot in with great fanfare, but little did they know that things were completely different from what they imagined. Buddhism seemed to shrink back, fell back, and then looked like it was watching the excitement;

This kind of Buddhism makes all the forces feel uneasy. When did Buddhism become so honest? How could it be so honest?

Since it is negative, it can only be that Buddhism has other calculations, such as trying to gain profit? Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, waiting until both sides are tired of fighting, then stepping forward to clean up the mess, and be the final winner!

This is almost the idea of ​​all the forces involved in the turf war in Xuanwu Continent;

As the Great Heavenly Lord of Heaven, Haotian, naturally thinks so too. How can he do what the Buddhists want? Naturally, he has to drag them into the water.

After I finished my acting with Liu Hao, not long after, someone from Buddhism actually came to my door, and it was Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

"The poor monk has seen the Great Heavenly Lord!"

Haotian was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't have a good expression on his face. It seemed that he still hadn't calmed down from Emperor Ziwei's high profile;

"What did Samantabhadra say he came to Zixiao Palace today?"

Haotian seemed to be still acting on his mood, going straight to the point, as if he was very unhappy with Samantabhadra's arrival and was not in the mood to greet him;

Samantabhadra did not care at all about Haotian's attitude;

"The poor monk is here because of the order of the Buddha, and he is here to discuss the affairs of the Eastern Land and the Tang Dynasty with the Great Heavenly Lord!"

It's so suspenseful. Samantabhadra's words almost didn't make Haotian break his skills. He and Liu Hao were acting. The two of them wanted to bring Buddhism to Xuanwu Continent, so that they could lead the demon clan and Taoist forces to fight against Buddhism. In this way,

Come on, Haotian or Liu Hao don't need to go into battle naked, their own losses can be minimized;

But now, Tathagata pulls away and doesn't even think about going to Xuanwu Continent. Instead, he thinks about the matter of spreading scriptures in the Eastern Land and the Tang Dynasty. How to do this?

How many people can resist the large-scale invasion of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty? How many people can resist it? Relying on the newly emerged Baijia system? Of course it is impossible. They are only a small sapling, so it is impossible to resist it.

Is it possible that the Heavenly Court will be punished in person? If we don’t talk about whether it will happen or not, then it’s unfair!

The spread of Buddhism to the east is an agreement reached by the saints from above, and Haotian cannot stop it. Moreover, to a certain extent, he can be regarded as the spokesperson of the Taoist sect, so it is reasonable for Tathagata to discuss with him;

However, if he really comes to Haotian for discussion, it is another question. Can Haotian really agree? Sanqing will not give him a good look at that time. He will be scolded by the second and fifth sons. It is a typical case of not pleasing both ends, and

It would be really depressing to offend Liu Hao, who had just reached an agreement;

You know, in order to reach an agreement with Haotian, Liu Hao sent Li Shimin's former important ministers Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling to the heaven to use them as think tanks for Haotian. They gave them benefits and then sold their companions.

Will he live in Haotian in the future? Who else will believe him?

Speaking of which, Liu Hao’s calculations are also involved here;

He knows a lot more than Haotian. Of course, Buddhism covets the matter of Xuanwu Continent, even to the point of being extremely itchy, but so what? It’s not that easy to deal with being separated by a continent. With Tathagata’s character, even if he thinks about it again, most likely

Can’t stud either;

Then, Nanzhanbuzhou must become the first target of Buddhism, and it means to capture the easiest territory first;

Liu Hao had already analyzed this point, but when discussing it with Haotian, he never mentioned it. He even intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to Xuanwu Continent, where he was from both the demon clan and the Taoist sect.

It's a very good blueprint, as if with just a slight push, Buddhism will set foot on it, and you will be separated from the demon clan and Taoism in life and death, and you, Haotian, will become a real fisherman;

It has to be said that the benefits were so great that Haotian wanted to take a gamble, but now it seemed that he was missing a move, and he knew that it was probably calculated by Liu Hao;

But so what? It is no longer possible to retreat, and the benefits have been reaped. As long as Haotian does not want his character to collapse, he must follow what the two people said before;

"Buddhism has been spread to the East. I heard that Sanzang of Tang Dynasty has gone to another world. But now you say you still want to spread the scriptures. What's the point?"

Haotian will not give any clear answer, just pretend to be stupid. This is what he is good at. He has already made up his mind at this time. As long as I don't answer your question directly, it has nothing to do with me. It's your Buddhists' own attention.

In this way, the Sanqing Saints can’t do anything to me;

It seems that when Samantabhadra Bodhisattva comes today, he does not really want Haotian to give a definite answer. He has received instructions from the Tathagata before coming, and it is impossible to force him. If this is the case, he will completely offend Haotian;

What's more, Samantabhadra still wants to know Haotian's attitude, that is, he will not explicitly stop it;

"Thank you, Great Heavenly Lord!"

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva gave a gift to the Buddha, which almost made Haotian's heart break. He cursed in his heart, "What are you thanking me for? It has nothing to do with me!"

If it were not for the previous alliance with Liu Hao, today's Buddhist ritual of Samantabhadra would really be nothing, but now it makes Haotian secretly hate Samantabhadra Bodhisattva;

In fact, Tathagata was also depressed. The spread of Buddhism to the east was achieved with great difficulty. But after it was achieved, he found that it was extremely difficult to spread Mahayana Buddhism;

Originally, the Eastern Tang Dynasty was just a Taoist force, but now? Hundreds of schools of thought are rising, and a hundred schools of thought are contending, attracting the attention of almost everyone. Who cares about Buddhism?

That's all. Because of Liu Hao, the Taoist sect underwent a huge reform in the Eastern Tang Dynasty. The God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, entered Taoism by doing business with a mixed family and made a lot of money;

And Zhao Gongming had no need for human wealth, so the money he earned naturally had to be spent. With Liu Hao's guidance, he even established large-scale orphan settlements throughout the ancient world. This wave of operations, invisibly, made the Taoist sect invincible.

The ground squeezed out the little sense of existence he still had in Buddhism;

This scene is even more uncomfortable than before the spread of Buddhism to the East. The power of Buddhism in the Eastern Tang Dynasty is like a candle in the wind, and it will be completely destroyed if you are not careful;

There is no reason why Tathagata did not take measures, and we cannot wait any longer;

It happened that Li Shimin abdicated, Li Zhi ascended the throne, and Wu Zetian, whom Buddhism had bet on, became the Empress of the Tang Dynasty. It was this information that made Buddhism hurriedly take action;

Before that, Haotian needs to not deliberately make things difficult, but even so, Tathagata still doesn't have much confidence. Today, Samantabhadra is sent to come, and there is another plan, that is, to draw Haotian into the Tang Dynasty.

Within Wang Chunshui, share the benefits.

For the Tathagata, this can be regarded as enduring again and again. In order to pull Haotian into the chariot, Buddhism also fought hard. The answer given was to recognize the supremacy of Heaven and put the Buddhism of the Eastern Land and Tang Dynasty at the same time.

Under the management of Haotian, the Jade Emperor;

This is absolutely impossible in Xiniu Hezhou, but in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, it seems that this is the only way to go, and it seems that only in this way can Buddhism have an entrance, and this candle will not be blown out.

destroyed.

When Samantabhadra Bodhisattva mentioned this, the first thing in Haotian's heart was not joy, but shock and caution. How could he understand the Tathagata's nature? His first feeling was that there was a problem, a big problem!

But for a while, Haotian didn't know what Tathagata was planning. Looking at Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's unwilling expression, it didn't seem like he was being fake. After thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem to be doing any harm to him, right?

Haotian stared at Samantabhadra Bodhisattva carefully for a while, and then said slowly:

"I know what Buddhism means!"

Haotian neither said he agreed nor hurriedly denied it. He gave Samantabhadra the impression that he would look at your actions first. After receiving the instructions, Samantabhadra nodded slightly. All this seemed to be very consistent with what Tathagata had said before. His own Buddha

Sure enough, in terms of calculation, few people can compare with him.

"Thank you, Great Heavenly Lord!"

Haotian is depressed again, and you are grateful again. It seems that the problem must be quite big;

After Pu Xian bowed and saluted, he still did not leave, but spoke again:

"I heard that the Great Heavenly Lord is having a hard time walking in Xuanwu Continent. I, the Buddhist sect, have seen it and may be able to provide help. As long as the Great Heavenly Lord gives an order, I will not disobey you!"

Good guy, Haotian was happy when he heard this. Could it be that those things before were just the Tathagata's foreshadowing, and the real purpose is revealed now?

How did he know that this was simply a petition given by the Tathagata? With Haotian as a background, Buddhism could preach better in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, so he must give him some benefits no matter what, right?

Moreover, the words of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva are also true. In Xuanwu Continent, the demon clan from Beiju Luzhou, with the existence of Emperor Jun Taiyi, how could they betray Haotian's face and occupy the territory that Heavenly Court cannot intervene at all.

upper foot;

What about the human race who entered Xuanwu Continent from Dongsheng Divine Continent? Those dynasties are better. They are backed by Taoist sects, and they will still give some face to Heavenly Court. However, the sects under those Taoist sects will not care about these many things, which makes Heavenly Court truly gain

There are not many benefits at all, they are just a few corners;

Haotian naturally knows about these, but he is not as depressed as Tathagata;

After all, he is the Lord of Heaven, so what if he occupies more territory in the ancient land? This is just like the emperor on earth competing for profits with the people, it is not a good thing, and he doesn't care much about it;

But now that Samantabhadra Bodhisattva mentioned it, he naturally looked unhappy, as if the great interests of heaven were at hand, but he, the Jade Emperor, did not gain much benefit, which gave Samantabhadra a feeling that he was right;

"I heard that Xuanwuzhou is the dojo of Taichu Xuanwu. It has been hidden for hundreds of millions of years. The spiritual essence of heaven and earth is everywhere in it. It is enough that the three senior brothers have occupied it. The demon clan of Luzhou in Beiju is now so rampant. I always think about it.

After all, I am heartbroken!"

Haotian's words gave Puxian Bodhisattva the opposite feeling. After listening to it, he understood another meaning, that is, it is just for the demon clan to occupy it. The Taoist sect is our own family after all, and it doesn't matter if it is occupied by Hao.

It’s a godsend, but I feel unwilling to do so!

It is understandable, but Samantabhadra Bodhisattva still knows what Haotian means, that is, the target must be the demon clan, at least on the surface it must be so;

"Buddhism has a heart, and I am naturally happy! Xuanwu Continent is newly opened. As a member of the ancient world, Buddhism should naturally have its share!"

This was a hook released by Haotian, which meant to completely lead Buddhism into the Xuanwu Continent dispute. But to Samantabhadra, it sounded like Haotian and Buddhism wanted to distribute benefits. Now he felt comfortable;

In his heart, Puxian Bodhisattva secretly despises you. You are the spokesman for Taoist interests after all. Is it really okay to sell Buddhism so blatantly?

However, he completely forgot that he was also a traitor to the Taoist sect, and he really devoted himself wholeheartedly to making profits for his current status.

It depends on three discussions, not three discussions, but three topics. It seems that Buddhists have gotten what they really want;

Similarly, Haotian was also very happy, thinking that he had captured Tathagata's true intention;

After Samantabhadra Bodhisattva left, two figures from behind quietly entered. Who were they if they weren't Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling?

These two guys who were given to Haotian as a think tank by Liu Hao now seem to have truly gained Haotian's trust.

Don’t think that Haotian will be suspicious, it doesn’t exist;

In contrast, Haotian has more trust in ministers from the human world, because he understands that when Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling enter the heaven, their only reliance now is on him, Haotian;

As for Liu Hao, the Great Ziwei Emperor, he couldn't do it. The two of them were given to Haotian in person, so they really weren't unhappy at all?

If Haotian had read more about the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he would know what the saying "There was no loyalty in the Sui and Tang Dynasties" meant;

For Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, what is the use of loyalty? What is it?
