As the largest sect in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty, the Pure Land Sect did not have a fixed mountain gate location, and almost no temple had a monk from the Pure Land Sect. They performed supernatural powers and encouraged people to become monks and believe in Buddhism. The rapid development of chanting Buddha Zen is inseparable from their unremitting efforts; the successful refining of Thousand Buddhas' robes is also inseparable from their unremitting efforts.

This method is of great benefit to missionary preaching, but for a sect, the centripetal force is insufficient. Similarly, when facing foreign enemies, it is easy to be defeated by others.

Previously, although the six Middle Earth Sects had been in secret, peace on the surface could still be maintained. Now, with the invasion of the demon clan, the Pure Land Sect had to make adjustments. Otherwise, they would be easily taken advantage of by foreign enemies.

Sima Chengzhen went to Luoyang alone.

Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, is located on the north bank of the Luoshui River, so it is named Luoyang. The most famous place in Luoyang is the Longmen Grottoes. The Longmen is the dragon gate where carp jumps over the Dragon Gate. The Yishui flows quietly, and the east and west mountains stand tall, making it extremely quiet.

The stones of the two mountains are delicate and are very suitable for carving. Over the past thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of Buddha statues have been successfully carved here. This project costs a lot, but the benefits are also obvious.

Since the Longmen Grottoes became a famous scenic spot in the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism has radiated rapidly to the surroundings with Luoyang as the center. At the end of the Yi River, deep in the Longmen Grottoes, and within the mountains and forests, there is an unknown temple - Jingnian Temple, which is the Xinshan Gate of the Pure Land Sect.

Due to the haste, Jingnian Zen Temple has not yet arranged its own mountain protection array. At least, when Sima Chengzhen arrived, they have not yet arranged all this.

Before Sima Chengzhen arrived at the mountain gate, after the information from the monk, someone took Sima Chengzhen to the main hall where the matter was discussed and walked all the way.

Sima Chengzhen looked around and walked away, and his heart gradually became deeper and he gradually calmed down, and he did not expect the purpose of his trip. Jingnian Zen Temple covers a very wide area, exceeding ten thousand acres in a radius. If a sect does not have enough ambition, it will not build such a magnificent building complex. From this point of view, Wang Jiusi's judgment has deviated.

In fact, this is the low-key Pure Land Sect that made Wang Jiusi have a wrong understanding. In the past thousands of years, Pure Land Sect has never participated in any sect disputes, developed in a sacred way, and has made every effort to collect the power of sentient beings to create conditions for refining the robes of Thousand Buddhas.

This period also made their number of soul monks far exceed the previous level. Although the seven soul monks were not enough to compete with Lou Guandao, they were enough to compete with Huanzhendao. The successful refining of Thousand Buddhas' robe made their confidence soar.

The monk's room was arranged very simply, with nothing but two cushions on the ground. Instead, a piece of yellow paper was pasted on the wall, and a large "clean" was written in thick ink.

There was only one person waiting for Sima Chengzhen in the monk's room. It was Tanluan wearing the robes of Thousand Buddhas. He was still thin and even more inconspicuous when he sat there. However, he was the Buddha Lord in the hearts of billions of sentient beings in the north and the bright light guiding the way.

"Sima donor, please sit down!" Tanluan said indifferently. Obviously, the Pure Land Sect did not pay attention to the visit of Louguandao people.

Sima Chengzhen was even more disappointed. He slowly sat cross-legged on the futon made of yellow cloth and said, "I am sending bad news today!"

Tanluan's wrinkled face showed a sensible and sarcastic smile, and said, "Tanyun is dead!" Tanluan said with great confidence, obviously he had known this a long time ago. In fact, this is normal. If a sect does not have any means to monitor the life and death of important people in his family, that would be the biggest joke.

"Not bad!" Sima Chengzhen could not deny this.

"Did he die in battle for Lou Guandao?" Tanluan asked leisurely.

Sima Chengzhen was silent for a while and said, "Not bad!"

"So, Sima donor, where did this behavior come from?"

Sima Chengzhen was indeed not a good lobbyist. This time the conversation was completely dominated by Tanluan, which made Sima Chengzhen have nothing to say in the end.

What Wang Jiusi promised to the Pure Land Sect were all empty promises. At this moment, it was just a laughing moment. Sima Chengzhen slowly straightened his back, looked at Tan Luan seriously, and said, "I came for the people of the world!" At this moment, Sima Chengzhen seemed to be possessed by the Zongheng family in the Middle Ages, and his heart was full of fighting spirit.

Tanluan was very involved and asked curiously, saying, "How can I explain this?"

"Can the abbot know how powerful the evil spirits in the south are?"

"A little bit of knowledge!"

"Is it detailed?" Sima Chengzhen did not give Tan Luan any room to retreat, and pressed him step by step.

"No!"

Sima Chengzhen breathed a long sigh of relief. In ancient times, the fundamental reason why the Zonghengists could achieve great achievements that ordinary people could not imagine was that they occupied the general trend and the asymmetry of information. Sima Chengzhen also had this point, and Lou Guandao's strength was his confidence.

"The abbot doesn't know anything. The demon emperor Wutian brought the thirteen demon saints to destroy the Southern Alliance first and then kill the Lingjiu. Pudu Zen Buddhism was even killed by the Shura clan. The south of the river was filled with sorrow, and the lives of the people were hard to protect."

Tanluan was speechless and watched Sima Chengzhen's performance coldly. However, Sima Chengzhen was not discouraged and said, "When the world is in a state of chaos, who can turn the tide is the hero of Middle-earth and the future leader."

Tanluan then had a look of expression. He looked at Sima Chengzhen in surprise, but he did not expect that the other party would say these words to the point of enlightenment. But this was Sima Chengzhen's strategy. He looked full of compassion, as if he was more compassionate than when the Buddha cut his flesh and fed the eagle.

"It is undeniable that I, Lou Guandao, covet that position, but at this moment, someone needs to take on this responsibility, and who else can I do the world?"

"As soon as Master Jiusi heard this tragic news, he abandoned Lou Guandao's great family business and joined forces with Master Tanyun, Monk Bianji, Zhenren Tang of Jianzhai and others to fight south."

"Countless heroes offered their lives to the altar for the continuation of the human race. Master Tanyun is like this, my sect's hatred to heaven, and Hongyun is like this."

"The blood of the seniors cannot pass away in vain, and our successors cannot watch the monsters rage the people without being indifferent."

"And we cannot sweep the snow in front of the door, regardless of the frost on others. If all sects protect themselves and do not defeat demons, then what is the justice in the world? What is the righteousness of heaven and earth? What is the meaning of our cultivation?"

"Instead of being defeated by demons, it is better to work together, clench your fists and hit the enemy's vitals. Abbot Tanluan! It is not that I, Lou Guandao, is arrogant, but I am so arrogant at this moment. If other sects have the ability to defeat the demons, I, Lou Guandao, will definitely help you with all my strength and dare not refuse."

"If not, I hope the abbot can support Lou Guandao's determination and fulfill our next feat!"

In the end, Sima Chengzhen grew up from the cushion and bowed deeply to the old monk Tanluan. Sima Chengzhen gave a 10-year-old performance in his heart. Since those false interests could no longer satisfy the other party, then we should suppress the opponent from the ground up.

His words just now were not in vain. First of all, he denied the fact that Master Tanyun died in battle for Lou Guandao, but rather showed that the person died in battle for the rise and fall of the human race. The losses of Lou Guandao were even more painful than those of the Pure Land Sect because their losses were twice as high.

At the same time, Sima Chengzhen completely despised the idea of ​​self-protection, believing that it was just timid and cowardly, and short-sighted. At the same time, Sima Chengzhen promised that if the Pure Land Sect was willing to lead everyone to expedition to the demon clan, then Lou Guandao would definitely support it, but all this has a prerequisite.

The leading sect must do its best to take action and cannot look back and forth, while the auxiliary sect can send one or two soul cultivators to fight. This is the routine set by Lou Guandao!

If the Pure Land Sect dare not be the leader, then please do not set obstacles for the Lou Guan Dao. This is Sima Chengzhen’s subtext. Now, Sima Chengzhen has done what he should do. The result depends on the choice of the old monk Tanluan!

"The monks of Pudu Zen Buddhism and Nalanda Temple are still stranded in the Zhongnan Mountain area, right?" Tanluan refused to argue with Sima Chengzhen's words, but raised such a question very strangely. This not only made Sima Chengzhen full of confidence very puzzled, but seemed to have been hit by a blow.

Shaking his head, Sima Chengzhen forced himself to cheer up and said, "That's true!"

"It is inappropriate for Buddhist monks to get along with Taoist monks. Let them go north to Luoyang!"

Sima Chengzhen's head buzzed, and he felt that he was heavy and he was about to fall to the ground. He looked at Tanluan in disbelief. The other party was trying to set off a carriage and horse, and to forcefully annex the Pudu Zen Buddhism and Nalanda Temple. This was too unexpected to Sima Chengzhen!

The pattern of the six sects of Middle Earth has lasted for 10,000 years. Although Lou Guandao intercepted Pudu Zen Buddhism and Nalanda Temple in the area of ​​Zhongnan Mountain, he never thought of annexing them, just to hold them hostage and intimidate the Pure Land Sect. In other words, if the Pure Land Sect cannot meet the requirements of Lou Guandao, then Lou Guandao will definitely fully support the two sects and provoke internal struggles in Buddhism.

However, Tanluan was not a weak person. His request was to cut off the firewood from the bottom of a pot, and to smash the wishful thinking of Lou Guandao, but Lou Guandao had no better reason to stop it.

Although Sima Chengzhen gave him words, he was restrained everywhere in the face of the old monk Tanyun, which was extremely uncomfortable. He quickly thought about the countermeasures in his mind. In the end, Sima Chengzhen said: "I have no way to interfere with the two sects, but I will definitely bring the abbot's words. But I don't know what my proposal is, what is the abbot's consideration?"

However, Tanluan did not respond. It was obvious that the words just now were Tanluan's conditions. If he could not meet his requirements, then let's not raise anything.

Sima Chengzhen quickly understood this and quietly retreated.
