Of course, Su Fan and Zhang Liang didn’t know about Buddhism’s plans.
But now Buddhist disciples appeared in Nanzhanbuzhou, and the two of them instantly understood that Buddhism was about to extend its hand to the east.
"It seems that Buddhism is no longer willing to be lonely."
Zhang Liang said with a smile.
It seems that the human race has become a piece of cake, and everyone wants to take a bite.
"After the Battle of the Conferred Gods, Buddhism has eaten the biggest piece of bread. The Chan Sect and the People's Sect colluded with Buddhism, but in the end they took advantage of Buddhism, which greatly increased the strength of Buddhism. Naturally, they don't want to be trapped in Lingshan anymore."
Su Fan sneered.
The Battle of the Conferred Gods was originally just a fight between the three religions. As a result, the Human Sect and the Chan Sect, in order to suppress the Jie Sect, eventually invited the Two Saints of the West.
Stealing the chicken is losing the rice, and the Jiejiao religion was indeed destroyed.
But the Buddhist sect was full of food. The thousands of disciples who were stolen from the Jie sect suddenly strengthened the Buddhist sect. Secondly, they also won over Ran Deng and several of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan sect.
What's more, the sage Taiqing used Duobao to transform Buddhism in order to enrich the luck of Buddhism. However, unexpectedly, Zhunti directly merged Western Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism into one, and invited Duobao to be the leader of Buddhism. If you steal the chicken again, you will lose the rice.
He also gave Buddhism a quasi-sage level powerhouse.
At this point, Buddhism can be said to have won a great victory in the war to confer gods. Even if it is human beings, although Chan and Chan are the victors in the war to confer gods, in fact, they can only make wedding clothes for others.
The truth behind the Battle of the Conferred Gods, whether this is the case or not, is not important anymore. Anyway, Buddhism did get the greatest benefit. After the Battle of the Conferred Gods, the strength of the Buddhist sect increased greatly. In the future, the journey to the west will bring great prosperity to the Buddhist sect.
Of course, it prospered and then declined, and then in the story after Journey to the West, the devil appeared in Buddhism and wiped out the entire Lingshan Mountain.
But Su Fan couldn't guarantee whether it was true or not.
But right now, it's true that Buddhism is strong.
"Buddhism has always wanted to cross eastward, but before, when the saint was there, they always stopped it. Now that the saint is gone, the senior leaders of Buddhism finally dare to take this step."
"This time is also very appropriate."
Su Fan's eyes were bright.
Buddhism chose this time to dispatch because it was because of the current conflict between the Heavenly Court and the Human Race.
For the time being, Buddhists dare not easily go to Kyushu to preach.
Jiuzhou is the base camp of the human race, and even the immortals and gods in heaven have been eliminated by the Qin Dynasty, let alone Buddhism.
Buddhism is strong, but compared to Heaven, its influence on the Three Realms is still too low.
After all, Heaven is the apparent Lord of the Three Realms.
Kyushu has been controlled by the human race since ancient times. Even when the Yin and Shang Dynasties were destroyed and the Zhou Dynasty was established, there were only some lower realms of immortals and gods.
But later on, the control of the immortals and gods over the mortal world became less and less. By the time of the Qin Dynasty, there were almost no immortals and gods left.
Buddhism is a new force that has never had any influence on the East. There is even no concept of Buddhism in Kyushu.
Therefore, Buddhism will not eat a fat man in one bite and go directly to Kyushu.
Looking south to Buzhou is their temptation.
Before the prehistoric times were broken, the Western Buddhism only had the broken land of the west. After the prehistoric times were broken, and the earth, fire, wind and water were refined again, Buddhism only had the land of Lingshan in Hezhou, Xiniu.
In recent years, it has expanded throughout Xiniu and Hezhou.
However, because of this, there was constant friction with Heaven.
However, it is obvious that Xiniu Hezhou alone cannot satisfy the appetite of Buddhists. They want to continue to expand the scope of their preaching.
Nanzhan Buzhou is the base camp of the human race. It has always been considered the traditional scope of the Taoist sect. However, now that the Taoist sect has declined, the Buddhist sect has become more and more powerful.
Without the saints, Buddhism was no longer afraid of Taoism, so Buddhism began to take action.
"What you mean is that Buddhism wants to occupy part of Nanzhan Continent because Heaven cannot take care of it."
Zhang Liang was also a little surprised when he heard this.
His understanding of Buddhism is naturally no better than that of Su Fan.
In fact, because Buddhism has very little influence and can only be regarded as a side sect, many forces in the East disdain Buddhism.
This was from top to bottom, and Jiuzhou knew very little about Buddhism. Naturally, Zhang Liang was a little surprised by the courage of Buddhism.
In his view, Buddhism is just a side door. Without the two saints, even if there are two quasi-sages, Tathagata and Ran Deng, it is still far behind the behemoth of heaven.
Everyone's impression of Buddhism is that there are only Tathagata and Ran Deng, and the other Buddhist masters seem to be unclear.
"Zifang, don't underestimate Buddhism. Buddhism is very powerful. In terms of quasi-sages alone, there are no less than five known people."
"Five quasi-sages?"
Zhang Liang was shocked and looked at Su Fan in disbelief, "Is this true?"
Zhang Liang naturally knew about the Quasi-Sage, and it was precisely because of his knowledge that he was so surprised. He was the Quasi-Sage, a person who stood at the top of the immortal world.
There are only as many such strong men as there are in the entire earthly immortal world, only as many as their human race, and so many in heaven. There are actually five quasi-sages in Buddhism.
Is Buddhism so powerful?
Even some of the Taoist forces he knew did not have such tyrannical power.
"Haha! There are five quasi-sages, maybe there will be more in the future?"
Su Fan continued.
“That’s not all”
Zhang Liang was shocked again, and now he somewhat didn't believe it.
After all, this is really shocking, even if their human race does not have so many quasi-sages.
"Today's Buddhism, Tathagata and Ran Deng, you should know, and the two saints in the West, the two disciples of the past, Medicine Buddha and Maitreya Buddha are also quasi-sages."
"These are the four quasi-sages, and Kong Xuan, the patron saint of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, was also robbed by that saint."
"The one who dared to fight the saint at that time, even if he lost, his strength is still top-notch among the quasi-sages."
"That's five people."
"In addition, during the Battle of the Gods, there were several Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao who left with Ran Deng. Their cultivation has definitely not stagnated over the years."
Su Fan's explanation made Zhang Liang instantly horrified. From this point of view, Buddhism is really scary, but it is still so low-key.
Looking at Zhang Liang's eyes, Su Fan smiled.
What does this mean? There may be at least two quasi-sages born in Buddhism in the future.
During the journey to the west, Buddhism's luck increased greatly and reached its peak.
At that time, the golden cicada and the monkey would become Buddhas through meritorious deeds in the future, not to mention becoming quasi-sages immediately, but at least they would have this opportunity.
It is not impossible for Jin Chanzi to break through through many lifetimes, with a solid foundation and meritorious deeds.
Monkey is a bit worse, but as a protagonist who measures calamities, Monkey's foundation is not bad, especially after eating so many elixirs and peaches in heaven, and training in Laojun's Bagua furnace.
It can be said that the foundation is not bad at all.
In addition, Bodhisattvas such as Avalokitesvara and Samantabhadra also have the opportunity to try to make breakthroughs. ()
