Chapter 604: He will only take it for granted; he will even take the opportunity to throw the hook
With Yingzhao as an example, almost all races in the three realms that want to rise to the top and are not too stubborn will set their sights on the human race.
It's just that some races had a good cooperative relationship with the human race back then. Now that the two sides are in contact, the obstacles will naturally be smaller.
And those who have always been at odds with the human race will obviously find it difficult to move closer to the human race at this time. Even if the human race is willing to accept them... they themselves will never feel at ease.
After all, the famous saying of the human race that "Those who are not of our race must have different minds" are deeply believed by all races in the three realms, and have been verified by practice.
Since both parties can't believe it, it's better not to disturb each other and keep a respectful distance...perhaps this is the most suitable option for both parties at this stage.
And for those races that have always kept a certain distance from the human race and have nothing to do with each other in normal times, they are now having some difficulties... They want to get closer to the human race, but there is no suitable way; and they are really watching this God-given
I was obviously very unwilling to miss the good opportunity.
At this time, they were thinking, if they had made good friends with Yingzhao, Bi Fang or Qingqiu and other tribes back then, wouldn't they be free of these troubles now?
Even if you are at odds with the human race, you can easily establish your position now, so why be so entangled?
The bat clan may occasionally have some conflicts with the human race, but looking at the entire three realms...the casualties are actually not a friction, and when bats kill people, it is usually the human race who accidentally enters the bat cave and suffers...
It is rare for bats to come out of their caves to hunt humans.
It can even be said that the number of people who die at the hands of bats is not even as high as the number of people who die at the hands of wild beasts and poisonous insects who go hunting in the mountains every year.
Generally speaking, when the average human race discovers that someone has died in the Bat Cave, they will not remain indifferent... Cleaning up the Bat Cave is also a common thing.
However, the vast majority of bats will move their "position" before they are completely exposed... This is related to their experience of being wanted and hunted by the three clans of dragon, phoenix and unicorn. It is an instinctive reaction engraved in their bones.
.
Until now, if the bat clan appears in the Three Realms, although the dragon, phoenix and unicorn clan have withdrawn, the instinct to hunt down the bat clan seems to be equally engraved in the bodies of the birds, beasts and scale armor clan. When they see the bat clan, they will
He couldn't help but want to kill him.
Zhang Guolao's purpose here is actually to help the Bat Clan get out of this predicament... If the Bat Clan can be recognized by the human race, they may be able to use the luck of humanity to return to the light.
After Zhang Guolao received the guidance of Lao Tzu and became a successful monk, he was actually able to walk freely in the three realms... In addition, he is the first and only white bat, and he is the auspicious sign between the three realms of heaven and earth.
Beast elves are not subject to such a "curse".
And when the Bat Ancestor begged him, Zhang Guolao also thought that he shouldn't remain indifferent and should do something.
Therefore, he agreed to be the lobbyist and came to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty to see if there was any chance of meeting Emperor Zhenguan and achieve his wish.
I just didn't expect that I would meet Yuan Tiangang as soon as I entered Chang'an City... Although the other party promised me that he could take me to see Emperor Zhenguan, it was a coincidence... Emperor Zhenguan was at the Great Mercy with Sanzang Buddha at the moment.
In the temple...
Now that the matter has come to this, it is naturally impossible for him to make the choice to retreat, so he can only bite the bullet and go ahead.
I just hope that Sanzang Holy Buddha can be kind to the "demon" who has no karma and grudges against the human race, as in the rumors...
From this, we can see the prestige of Sanzang Holy Buddha among the demon clan. Even a man of enlightenment like Zhang Guolao was so nervous before meeting him... If it were replaced by those demons who really do evil in the three realms,
I don’t know what kind of timidity it is.
Daci'en Temple.
On the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Zhang Guolao felt the light of Shari Buddha. He felt his body and mind soothed for a moment, and all the worries he had before entering the temple were swept away.
And Zhang Guolao was able to realize very keenly that what really brought him such an experience was not the relic... but the Buddha's light from the Tripitaka Buddha reflected on the relic.
hiss--
Zhang Guolao took a deep breath.
Although he still seems to be a person who is neither high nor low, Zhang Guolao, who was born in the early days of chaos, naturally has unusual insights.
What's more, when the Daci'en Temple was established, Bodhisattva Na, in full view of the public, presented the relics of the previous Buddha, "Upalatha Buddha" after his enthronement, to the Tripitaka Buddha on behalf of the Tathagata as a congratulation for the opening of the sect.
This incident caused quite a stir in the Three Realms back then.
It's just that no one within the Buddhist sect has an opinion, so outsiders naturally have nothing to say.
The Holy Buddha Tripitaka is the "Heaven of Liberation" of Theravada Buddhism who has been recognized by the Buddha who introduced him. And Upalatha Buddha was the reigning Buddha when Theravada Buddhism was in charge of Lingshan. Therefore, his relics after his enthronement will naturally belong to the Holy Tripitaka.
None other than Buddha.
For people in Buddhism, they only take it for granted.
The relic in front of Zhang Guolao is naturally the relic that was left behind after Upaladha Buddha passed away.
But now, the Buddha's light blooming from this relic has almost lost the aura that originally belonged to "Upharattha Buddha". Everything you see and feel is the Buddha's light of Tripitaka Buddha.
This is what amazed Zhang Guolao the most... How could he not know that "Upalatha Buddha" is the incarnation of the Chunti saint? Even if Upaladha Buddha passes away and the Chunti saint withdraws from the three realms, he really wants to
Refining the relics left behind by the other party...that's something I really don't dare to think about.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If it is the relic of the eminent monk at the Fulong Temple in the Jisai Kingdom, there may be the possibility of being refined, but this one after all
It is a "relic of a saint"... The Holy Buddha Tripitaka was able to achieve this, which shows that his cultivation and Buddhism have become increasingly unfathomable.
Zhang Guolao often walks around the three realms now. Usually, he pretends to be an expert from outside the world... Of course, he also does meritorious deeds that punish evil and promote good, cure diseases and save people, otherwise Yuan
Tiangang would not bring him into Daci'en Temple, as that would be tantamount to seeking death.
In fact, for Yuan Tiangang, his bottom line... is actually one level lower than that of Tripitaka Buddha. That is, even demons that have killed people can be tamed and used.
But for the man-eating monster, it is also a dead end in Yuan Tiangang's case.
Zhang Guolao didn't know if this was a warning given to him by Tripitaka Saint Buddha, but it was undeniable that... he was already shocked.
"The poor Taoist Zhang Guo paid homage to His Majesty and met the Holy Buddha."
As soon as Zhang Guolao came to his senses, he saluted the two people in front of him.
"Taoist Master, you don't need to be polite."
Li Shimin has always been open-minded and eclectic when it comes to recruiting and appointing talents. This is also an important reason why the Zhenguan court is so far-reaching and powerful. Li Zhi also inherited this from his father. In short, the Tang court is now, to a certain extent,
To a certain extent, it still shows a state of a hundred flowers blooming.
Faced with Zhang Guolao's submission, Li Shimin was still very willing to accept it...but after nodding his head, he also wanted to hear what Yu Di's views were on this matter.
Nothing else.
Li Shimin was quite convinced of his younger brother Tang Sanzang...even many times, when his decisions conflicted with his younger brother's suggestions, or were even completely opposite, he would choose to give up on his decision.
It's just that when situations like this usually occur, it's all trivial matters. In terms of general strategy, Li Shimin and his younger brother Tang Sanzang often have the same ideas.
The Empress Dowager Changsun even said at the beginning: I have been worried that no one can persuade you since the death of Wei Zheng. Now it seems... Fortunately, there is still this emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Regarding this, Li Shimin just wanted to say: In fact, Yu Di and that old stubborn Wei Zheng are completely different... They both seem to be persuading me, and I do listen to their advice, but how can things just be taken at face value?
As for the difference between the two people, Li Shimin said: If Wei Zheng persuades me, I can choose not to listen, and there is nothing he can do to me; if it is Yudi who persuades me, but I don't listen...what will happen?
I have no idea what the scene will be like.
Obviously, Zhang Guolao also understands this truth.
Although Emperor Zhenguan had told him not to be too polite, Sanzang Saint Buddha beside him did not speak, which inevitably made him feel troubled again... Fortunately, Fahai did not have a special habit of tormenting the old Taoist priest.
After his Dharma eyes converged, he said to Zhang Guolao, who was already looking a little pale: "Amitabha, this poor monk is polite."
Fahai returned the salute to Zhang Guolao, and then the two of them stepped forward at the same time.
call--
Zhang Guolao breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that he has passed the test now.
Even when he was being chased by the three clans of dragon, phoenix and unicorn, he didn't seem to be as nervous as he was when he met Sanzang Buddha today.
But now that he has been recognized, Zhang Guolao, who was still a little cautious at first, quickly relaxed... The rumor has been confirmed that Sanzang Holy Buddha actually has no prejudice against the demon clan.
When Zhang Guolao expressed his request to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty on behalf of the Bat Clan, and seeing that his younger brother did not have his own opinion on the matter, Li Shimin gave his own opinion based on his heart——
Datang could accept Zhang Guolao, but because of the low reputation of the Bat Clan in the Three Realms, Datang would not make any commitments on this matter until it was truly confirmed whether the Bat Clan was trustworthy.
Unfortunately.
When traveling to Luzhou, Beiju, Li Chunfeng often told Li Shimin anecdotes about the Three Realms... One of them, Li Shimin and Li Chunfeng accidentally entered a bat cave and scared away all the bats in the cave.
I told Li Shimin about how the Bat Clan repeatedly jumped between the Dragon, Phoenix and Qilin Tribes.
Li Shimin was also a horse-riding emperor who truly fought in troubled times. It is not impossible that some people who were good at dancing could move among several forces and still be able to do so with ease.
To be honest, although Li Shimin can't say he likes such people, he is still willing to admit their abilities sometimes... If it can be used for himself, Li Shimin will naturally not refuse.
But like the bat clan, which has no purpose at all and seems to be just for the sake of repeating and repeating behaviors... Li Shimin still can't understand it.
In the end, if you end up like this, you are to blame.
Now that the human race is powerful, they want to join the Tang Dynasty... Li Shimin can't trust them.
And if it was just Zhang Guolao, the risks he would bear would be much smaller.
Moreover, what Zhang Guolao just said was very clear. He actually only came to the Tang Dynasty to ask for directions on behalf of the Bat Ancestor... Li Shimin had reason to suspect that Zhang Guolao had no say in the bat clan at all.
His coming this time will at most serve as a bridge between the Tang Dynasty and the Bat Clan. When the two sides get connected...it is very likely that the Bat Ancestor will take Zhang Guolao aside and join the fight himself.
negotiated by the Tang Dynasty.
This kind of thing is even commonplace among the human race.
In terms of scheming and cunning... In fact, when the strength of the human race can compete with the demons, the demons become the weak side in this aspect.
In the past, it was because the power of demons was several times, or even dozens of times stronger than that of ordinary humans... This was a gap that was difficult to bridge with strategy.
But in fact, the more obvious characteristic of demons is their "cruelty".
The Journey to the West Buddhist Scripture Group has a profound understanding of this point.
Master Sanzang has basically never fallen into the "traps" set by monsters and even gods along the way... He even takes the opportunity to fish with a hook -
Although the daily air force has become a habit, there are also many monsters who will take the initiative to hit the hook... But no matter which kind it is, Master Sanzang does not feel the joy of success, and there is no sense of experience.
At this time, Fa Hai spoke, and he said to Zhang Guolao: "If the Bat Clan is sincere in forming an alliance with me, the Tang Dynasty, how about inviting the Bat Ancestor to Chang'an to discuss it in detail?"
Zhang Guolao immediately said: "The old Taoist can go and invite the Bat Ancestor, but whether he is willing to come...it is not something that the old Taoist can control."
In fact, Zhang Guolao also agreed very much with Sanzang Holy Buddha's suggestion. After all, he had never been a member of the bat clan in the past... He was also worried in his heart, that is, the things he promised here would not be recognized. When the time comes for both sides to argue... they will inevitably be implicated.
When the two parties get in touch, it doesn't even take the Bat Ancestor to clear him out...Zhang Guolao will choose to quit on his own. Is he willing to wade into this muddy water?
He was still happy and relaxed.
"good."
Zhang Guolao was also a practical person, so he got the accurate information and immediately went to invite the Bat Ancestor... Then he stood up to bid farewell to Li Shimin and Tripitaka Buddha.
