Pawn Crossing the River

Now that Taoism and Buddhism have signed a treaty to end the conflict between Darzun, simply put, Buddhism bows its head and admits defeat. The internal pro-Taoist faction has the upper hand. The Taoist sect must also cooperate externally to maintain the advantage of the pro-Taoist sect of Buddhism. Therefore, Qi Xuansu does not want to At this time, something extraneous happened, and he started to provoke Buddhism, and he did not want to have a head-on conflict with Master Jingshi, one of the three great masters of Buddhism.

But the problem is that Buddhism is indeed the main backstage of Zhiming Cult and Lingshan Witch Cult. Letting them go like this will probably expose their whereabouts.

How to choose?

Lin Yuanmiao made a suggestion: "When I followed Qingxiao to the Western Regions, Master Jiang Dazhen handed over Tongzhen Palace to me just in case. It would be better for me to open the portal of Tongzhen Palace from a distance and open it." Take them into Tongzhen Palace and release these people when we leave Wugoshanli."

Qi Xuansu was a little surprised: "Can Tongzhen Palace also open the portal from the air?"

Lin Yuanmiao said: "Yes, but it will consume some divine power."

Qi Xuansu did not go into details. After all, Lin Lingsu was the real master of Tongzhen Palace. As Lin Lingsu's "inheriter", it was reasonable for Lin Yuanmiao to know the mysteries that only Lin Yuanmiao could know.

Qi Xuansu thought for a while and said: "Okay, let's deal with it like this. You will make a report when you go back, and I will reimburse you for your magical power. I only have one request. The noise should be as small as possible, and don't make an earth-shattering noise for everyone to know."

Lin Yuanmiao said: "Don't worry, I can take care of it."

Then Lin Yuanmiao said to Long Xiaobai again: "Xiaobai, the clouds are rising and the fog is rising, please be a cover for me."

Long Xiaobai nodded.

The two spiritual officers suppressed the small inn. No matter whether it is a group of Buddhist monks or a family of three in the inn, they cannot leave the inn for even half a step.

Only Qi Xuansu was still sitting, while everyone else was standing.

Just when Lin Yuanmiao and Long Xiaobai were about to make a move but had yet to make any real move, Qi Xuansu seemed to be aware of it and said, "This monk is not lying."

The two spiritual officers were facing a formidable enemy, and they no longer cared about disguises. They directly revealed their first-grade spiritual officer armors and put down their face shields, just in time to activate the second stage of "Follow the Way".

Lin Yuanmiao and Long Xiaobai also stopped and stood on Qi Xuansu's side.

Qi Xuansu raised his voice and said: "Since the master has arrived, why not show up to see him?"

After the words fell, the little figure in Lin Yuanmiao's hand shone brightly, blazingly bright, like a miniature sun.

Lin Yuanmiao immediately threw the glowing figure in his hand out.

Then the villain continued to grow in size in mid-air, and when it landed, it had returned to the size of a normal person, but it had turned into another person, with a resolute face, somewhere between the majesty of a treasure and the angry eyes of a vajra. At the same time, it showed a great light, with a light behind its head. The wheel has no substance and cannot be touched. It shines brightly and no longer has the frivolous meaning it had before.

The visitor clasped his palms together, and when he spoke, there was a faint roar of a lion, which shocked people's hearts: "I have seen Master Taiwei, the little monk who taught me the lion."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

There are many Taoist masters in the Taoist sect, even the extremely noble Master Shenzhi, there are thirty-six of them, but there is only one young master.

It was the new head of the Western Region Taoist House who was famous in the western border.

Qi Xuansu finally stood up and returned the courtesy: "I have seen Master Jingshi."

Although there was neither Jiang Daren present nor Wu Niang to escort him, Qi Xuansu still looked calm and calm when facing a Buddhist master. This was the confidence given to him by the four pseudo-immortal attendants and an immortal incarnation.

But in the final analysis, it is due to status. If there is no great power, how can one be so confident?

What's more, Master Jing Shishi has not come in person, and his reincarnation is imminent, so it is quite doubtful how much strength he can exert. Qi Xuansu has no reason to be afraid of this Buddhist master. What he cares more about is to alert the snake and let him surprise Si Mingzhen this time. You returned without success.

If we really want to take action, Qi Xuansu's side will actually have the advantage.

Not to mention the three great warriors, even one of the three divisions is capable of fighting.

In other words, although Master Jingshi is possessed by this "container", Master Jingshi cannot take away the "container" and the Buddhist people present. The situation is still under Qi Xuansu's control.

Master Jing Shizi showed up just to have a chance to talk to Qi Xuansu.

It sounds a bit ridiculous, but it is the fact. Qi Xuansu is no longer the Qi Xuansu of the past. The influence of the little headmaster is not only limited to the Taoist sect, but covers all areas affected by the Taoist sect. There is no doubt that Buddhism will also be affected. Taoist influence.

Although the three Buddhist masters are highly cultivated, how dare they speak out bravely as a defeated general?

Before Master Jingshi appeared, others were not qualified to talk to Qi Xuansu, or even to protest.

Qi Xuansu took the initiative and said, "Master, what do you want when you show up?"

Master Jingshi said: "The poor monk came here for this skin."

Qi Xuansu was noncommittal: "When a great scholar is reincarnated, he has many choices and has more than one body. Is it such a coincidence that I happened to meet the most suitable body for a great master?"

Master Jing Shishi shook his head and said: "A Western sage once told a story that a person's life is like walking in a wheat field, looking for the largest ear of wheat. Some people see the full ears of wheat and lose no time in picking them up. Pick it off; some people look around, thinking that the next wheat ear will be bigger, and miss opportunities again and again. The most fearful word in the world is the word "just in case", and even a poor monk is not sure about the word "most likely". Is it the most suitable body?”

Qi Xuansu only felt that these words were false. Not to mention whether what Master Jing Shizi said was credible, even if he had a glimpse of the identity and whereabouts of Qi Xuansu and his party, Qi Xuansu had to take some measures. Just as Master Jingshi said, be afraid of the word "just in case" in everything. If Qi Xuansu besieges Siming Zhenjun, Buddhism suddenly takes action and is attacked from both sides, with disastrous consequences.

At this point, Qi Xuansu has only two ways to go. Either he can't do anything about it, so he returns home in advance, and the task of annihilating the Zhiming Cult ends in a tailspin. Or just go all the way and deal with it together with Master Jingshi.

In a very short period of time, Qi Xuansu made a decision.

He was never a quitter.

Master Jing Shishi also saw Qi Xuansu's thoughts and said: "The poor monk has no intention of harming the young master. The young master does not need to do this."

Qi Xuansu said: "It would be too natural to ask Master Jingshi, who is known for his fearlessness, to compromise with just a few words from me. So how about we make a bet?"

Master Jingshi asked: "I don't know how to gamble and fight?"

Qi Xuansu said: "The great master proposes a question and I will answer it. If I win, then please ask Master Jing Shishi to swear not to reveal what happened today. If the great master wins, I will retreat and return to the Daxue Mountain Palace. This body The physical body is naturally at the disposal of the master."

The vows of Buddhists are of course guaranteed, because Buddhists have a long history of making great aspirations. This is in the same vein as Buddhist debts, which are overdrafts in advance. Obtain magical powers or cultivation in advance by making vows, and then slowly repay the debt. There are many famous aspirations in the history of Buddhism, such as "Until hell is empty, I will never become a Buddha."

Master Jingshi thought for a moment and said, "Good."

Although there was only one word, Qi Xuansu clearly felt that there was a feeling coming from somewhere, forming some kind of restraint.

Qi Xuansu said: "Please ask the master to come up with the question."

After all, Master Jingshi is not an immortal who has come to the world. His true form is in the human world. Therefore, even if he does not come here in his true body, he can still exert his cultivation as an immortal, unlike the immortals who are separated by a layer and subject to various restrictions.

I saw him stretching out a palm: "If the little headmaster can escape from the palm of the poor monk's right hand, the little headmaster will win. The oath made by the poor monk will take effect immediately, and he will not reveal a word to others. If the little headmaster can escape from the palm of the poor monk's right hand, he will win." The headmaster couldn't escape from the poor monk's grasp, so the little headmaster kept his promise and retreated."

Jiachen Lingguan said softly: "Real people should be careful of deceit."

Qi Xuansu raised his hand to indicate that there was no need to say more: "It doesn't matter, I know what's going on."

Lin Yuanmiao also said: "Taoism has 'the universe in one's sleeves', and Buddhism has 'the kingdom of Buddha in the palm of one's hand.' This person should be betting against you with this magical power."

Qi Xuansu nodded.

After saying that, Qi Xuansu jumped up and began to shrink in mid-air. As it fell towards Master Jingshi's palm, it became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a tiny black dot.

Master Jing Shishi recited the Buddha's name: "One sand, one world, one leaf, one Bodhi."

A great light shines from his right hand, as if the sun, moon, stars and all living beings are supported on it, lifted up from the boundless sea of ​​suffering, transcending the world of desire and color, and reaching the other shore.

He is worthy of being one of the three great masters of Buddhism. His state of cultivation is so wonderful that it is not only far better than the false immortals, but also better than the ignorant Dharma King and the Peacock King.

Lin Yuanmiao and Long Xiaobai were waiting in strict formation, cooperating with the two first-grade spiritual officers to vaguely surround Master Jing Shishi. As long as there is the slightest mistake, they will attack in groups. Even if the old monk has the cultivation of an immortal, he will still be in a hurry when facing four fake immortals. When Qi Xuansu and He Luoshen attack again from inside and outside, I am afraid that the old monk's lust My body is about to perish here. Even if I survive, my cultivation will be compromised for the rest of my life.

As for the others, they could only watch from the sidelines, unable to intervene at all, and did not dare to intervene, for fear that gods would fight and mortals would suffer.

However, Master Jingshi was not afraid. Instead, he was sitting cross-legged in the air with a relaxed attitude. Support your left knee with your left hand, and place your right hand on top of your right knee, with your palm facing up. Look down at the Buddha Kingdom that is as big as gravel in the middle of your palm.

Gaze through the gravel and reach the interior of the Buddha.

The world of the Buddhist Kingdom seems real and illusionary, virtual and real, which corresponds to the wonderful meaning of Buddhism: one flower and one world, one leaf and one Bodhi, and one sand and one Buddha's Kingdom.

After Qi Xuansu entered the Buddhist kingdom, Master Jingshi gently patted his knees with his free left hand.

In an instant, the world in the Buddhist kingdom was turned upside down, with no distinction between up, down, left, right, east, west, north, and south. What was originally forward became backward, and what was originally left became right.

Yin and Yang are reversed, and the universe is in chaos.

Once you get inside, how can you escape?

The hozen jumped to death and finally fell into the trap of Qiankun.
