Su Chen could clearly feel that Tathagata had murderous intentions towards him.
Now that we are at odds with each other, we will not stop fighting.
Su Chen will not sit still and wait for death.
To strike first is to gain strength, to strike later is to suffer disaster.
Su Chen thought thoughtfully, "With my current strength, if I face Tathagata head-on, I will definitely be at a disadvantage. Even if I have Qingyun, it's not safe."
"If you want to reach a higher level, or have the ability to compete with Tathagata, or even the entire Buddhism, you must become stronger."
"Before I become stronger, it is still necessary to add some obstacles to Buddhism."
Su Chen made some calculations and opened his eyes after a while.
He couldn't figure out why Tathagata came here, let alone what he had done in the past few months.
but.
He could calculate that Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty was thriving.
Originally, under his suppression, Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty should have declined. Even Xuanzang's journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures only slightly restored the situation.
Doesn't help matters.
but.
After Tathagata came, Buddhism had a good trend.
"The Tathagata must have done something, but no matter what he did, I will destroy it and let the Tang Dynasty continue to suppress Buddhism."
"Normally speaking, the disputes between the three religions and the nine schools will be based on one point and another, and finally influence the ruler and make the current emperor change his religious belief. But now that Li Shimin's whole family believes in me, I can just take advantage of it."
Su Chen can do whatever he wants, but he wants to know what Tathagata has done in the past few months so that he can specifically trouble him.
"Master, are you okay?"
"Asshole, Master must be fine."
"That's Tathagata. Damn it. He dares to threaten Master. He's so arrogant."
"Master, let's fight to Lingshan Mountain."
Li Bai, Su Qilin, Su Ao, and Ao Lie all came, but only the six-eared macaque was in retreat and did not show up.
They were all angry and nervous.
Yuan Tiangang said: "The lay people halfway up the mountain are all panic-stricken, and everyone wants to see the Patriarch."
Su Chen said: "Tell them that everything remains as usual. If they stay, they will be outer disciples. If they want to leave, they will not stop them. However, from now on, they are not allowed to use my Yunyuan Mountain's magical powers and magic to others."
There have always been lay practitioners in Yunyuan Mountain, and because of Su Chen, they all gained a lot.
In the past, they were basically mortals, but after Su Chen became a Daluo Golden Immortal, he set off a wave of events that made them become immortals, and then when he became a peak Daluo, he set off another wave of them.
Nowadays, basically the weakest ones are all at the peak of immortality, and they are basically all true immortal masters.
Su Chen only had simple restraints on them and gave them some exercises and spells to practice so that they would have enough strength.
Therefore, these people call themselves laymen of Yunyuan Mountain, and they also follow Yunyuan Mountain's instructions and often climb mountains to do whatever they can.
Sometimes he would even go out with Yuan Tiangang, Li Bai and others to practice slaying demons.
Of course, they also have to spend one or two days every month to go down the mountain and hang pots to help the world.
To help the world and the people, it must be under the banner of Yunyuan Mountain.
This made preparations and laid the foundation for Yunyuan Mountain to spread its branches in various places.
There are some advantages to these people, that is, there are enough of them and they don’t need to spend too much energy and effort to cultivate!
but.
There is also a disadvantage, that is, their loyalty is in the middle, and they may abandon Yunyuan Mountain at any time!
Now is the time to test their loyalty. If they are reliable, they can become outer disciples.
In contrast, they can get some support.
Of course, Sun Simiao and others will automatically be upgraded to inner disciples, and they will still be different from them.
But just staying here is not enough, Su Chen plans to attack all the Buddhists in the Tang Dynasty.
After Tathagata came, Buddhism prospered. He must have supported many people in Buddhism and left some backup.
This would be dangerous.
But, it has to be done.
Su Chen couldn't do it himself, otherwise the Buddhist sect would find an opportunity, and then they would directly kill and suppress it.
Today's Tathagata Master is unknown. If Su Chen personally suppresses these Buddhist temples, he will definitely find a reason for them.
Therefore.
He can't move.
But those lay people can. Their identities are independent of Yunyuan Mountain. If they really take action against Buddhism, no one can say anything.
Su Chen would not explicitly tell them that they were going to deal with Buddhism, but he would let them deal with it!
After making the decision, Su Chen immediately asked Yuan Tiangang to tell the lay people, and Huang Taixian and Xiong Yan also came forward.
soon.
Su Chen saw more than a dozen streams of light flying away halfway up Yunyuan Mountain. It lasted for half an hour, and probably hundreds of streams of light flew away.
He understood that these were lay people who were planning to leave, and after they left, not only were they not allowed to use the magical powers they learned from Yunyuan Mountain, they were also not allowed to step into the realm of Chang'an!
Once the matter is explained clearly and told to these people, we will see each other again in the future, and we will no longer know each other!
Yuan Tiangang will report soon.
"Master Patriarch, more than 300 people have left, and there are still about 800 people left. The remaining 800 people are basically those who were there before."
What was said to have been there before was that the last time Su Chen broke through to the peak of Daluo Jinxian, it caused great changes in the world and attracted countless divine powers.
As a result, countless people became immortals and ascended. Dukes of the Tang Dynasty such as Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, etc. basically all ascended.
Therefore, the Tang Dynasty had the Celestial Immortal Duke, but after these people became immortals, they basically retired at home and became Qin Tianzhu, the man behind the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin was also worried that their influence would be too great, surpassing that of the royal family, so he also intended to make them live in seclusion.
Even those like Hou Junji and others with great ambitions had to retire and let their juniors stand in front of the stage.
because.
After that time, Li Shimin specially invited Sun Simiao, Li Bai, Yan Liben and others to return to the Daming Palace.
At that time, all the ascended princes were invited to release their military power over a glass of wine. Everyone honestly handed over their military power and retreated behind the scenes.
With such a threat and fear of resentment in their hearts, Li Shimin begged the Celestial Immortal Jue from Yunyuan Mountain to allow these Celestial Immortal Kingdoms to practice public exercises.
After becoming an immortal, you can practice martial arts and become immortal, and you can travel to the sky most of the time.
Even the extremely powerful Hou Junji did not have any objections to such a happy life.
At the time of that ascension, there were already more than a hundred lay people in Yunyuan Mountain, and later three to four hundred people came one after another.
They all came because of the reputation, but now that they didn't enjoy much benefit and might even lose their lives, they were naturally unhappy and left one after another.
Su Chen didn't have the slightest nostalgia for this.
He said: "Okay, tell everyone that they are already my outer disciples in Yunyuan Mountain. I will give them the right to walk in the back mountain and teach them magic and magical powers. You senior brothers will do this for me."
Then he added: "And you are all inner disciples, so your treatment...actually remains the same, there is basically no difference, it's just that you are called nice."
Everyone laughed, and everyone understood that Su Chen treated them no differently than his direct disciples.
At least they are different from those laymen and today's inner disciples.
Although they don't particularly care about this status gap, if it exists, it can still satisfy their vanity!
Su Chen said: "Tell them that we have some grudges with the Buddhists. When we go down the mountain to practice in the future, we should be careful of the Buddhists' revenge."
Everyone was stunned.
Buddhism in the human world is not something to be afraid of. Even if it is Buddhism, would it dare to retaliate against them?!
but.
After thinking about it, I noticed the meaning of revenge that Su Chen said, and everyone suddenly laughed.
Li Bai smiled and said: "Master, don't worry, we will live in peace with Buddhism and never cause trouble. But if they provoke us, we will fight back appropriately."
Fei Lian E Lai and his son said, "Let's go and fight back appropriately."
Su Chen said: "You two, please be honest. I have taught you some magical powers. Practice them well and don't neglect them."
The two of them quickly said yes.
After finishing this, Su Chen said again: "Send someone to ask the emperor what changes have occurred in Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty recently."
Because of Tathagata, Su Chen was able to find a way to the Tang Buddhist Temple, but the specific situation is unknown.
As for the specific information he wanted, no one knew it better than Li Shimin.
Yuan Tiangang was about to go do it immediately, and Su Chen ordered: "Bring a Xiantao over. The emperor is old and I'm afraid he won't be able to remember things."
Yuan Tiangang understood that Su Chen was not afraid that Li Shimin would not be able to remember things, but was worried that Li Shimin, as the emperor, would weigh his relationship with Buddhism and thus sway back and forth, which could not be explained clearly.
Give Li Shimin a fairy peach and let him live a few more years, so that he can enjoy the benefits and know who to hang out with.
After finishing this, Su Chen looked to the west with solemn eyes.
"In this way, I am completely deadlocked with Buddhism. This time Tathagata retreated entirely because the master was unknown, and I made the matter bigger, and he didn't want to be blamed."
"But he will definitely look for opportunities, so I must become stronger."
Su Chen spread his hands, and a divine dragon cauldron appeared in his palm. This was his confidence to become stronger.
Then Su Chen started practicing. He wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible.
He has already communicated with heaven and earth. He can use the merits of faith to practice, but not more. It just speeds up the practice dozens of times.
Even so, it's a big help.
In addition, Su Chen mainly uses it to temper his physical body and strive to upgrade the Hunyuan Golden Body as soon as possible.
However, this is a long-term process.
After all, even if you have merit, it cannot be achieved overnight.
Nuwa had boundless merits for mending the sky and creating humans, but it took hundreds of thousands of years for her merits to become a saint.
It can be seen from this that sanctification is a very difficult process.
In the secret room, Su Chen officially started practicing.
He must seize every minute and every second to improve his magic power and temper his physical body.
He is only half a step away from the ancestral witch's physical body. The power of merit is extremely valuable, and now is a rare opportunity to force Tathagata away.
Practice quickly.
In addition, Su Chen took out all the magic weapons and refined them with the power of merit.
With this cultivation, his mastery of magic weapons has reached its peak.
However, you can’t neglect your cultivation, nor can you neglect reading people’s fortunes, because that is Su Chen’s foundation.
You can also use this to obtain huge mana and even rewards.
For this reason, Su Chen interpreted people's fortunes during the day and practiced at night to improve his cultivation and strengthen his body.
For the time being, I ignore matters related to the outside world.
but.
However, all of his disciples have taken action and go out more frequently than before.
When I went down the mountain to practice, I specifically looked for trouble with Buddhism. As expected, Buddhism also has many masters, and many Buddhist monks have the power of immortals.
It's just that most of these people seem to have gained a little more cultivation out of thin air, and they don't have a certain understanding of their own strength.
Facing the outer sect disciples of Yunyuan Mountain who came down the mountain for training, they could only be abused. However, there are also real masters among the Buddhist sect, and their strength even surpasses that of true immortals and has reached a higher level.
Once these Arhats take action, it will be fatal to the outer sect training disciples of Yunyuan Mountain.
to this end.
Yunyuanshan went out to train his disciples, which initially caused great damage to the Buddhist sect and caused heavy losses to the Buddhist sect; but when the Buddhist sect invited Arhat King Kong, things became more difficult.
However, the disciples of Yunyuan Mountain did not suffer heavy losses because of this, after all, they were also capable.
It just became more difficult, and Buddhism could not send vajra arhats to the Tang Dynasty.
Otherwise, his search for scriptures from the West will become meaningless, and it may even lead to misunderstandings, and Buddhism wants to violate the rules set by the saints.
Immortals and above are not allowed to interfere in human affairs at will, but if a mortal becomes an immortal, it will be possible in the near future.
These outer disciples were all mortals in Yunyuan Mountain who became immortals, and they became immortals not long ago. They are all willing to stay in the human world. No one can tell them what they will do to the human world in the near future.
only.
Buddhism is more sad.
There are not many strong people in the world. Originally, after several months of hard work by Tathagata, they gained many strong people and even more countless followers.
However, as soon as Yunyuan Mountain took action, from the strong to the official and then to the choices of believers, within a month, the Buddhist sect lost more than 70% of its monks and more than 30% of its temples.
The losses were so great that the Tathagata of Lingshan Mountain in the West knew about it and were so angry that they almost came to kill him from Lingshan Mountain again.
In the end, it was the Buddhas who persuaded me and they did not take action.
They chose to continue to wait and see the changes for another month. In the next month, only one-third of the Buddhist temples in the Tang Dynasty remained compared to their peak. In some areas, Buddhism had even become a rat on the street, and everyone shouted for beatings.
.
The outer sect disciples of Yunyuan Mountain walking down the mountain performed miracles one by one, and under the banner of Yunyuan Mountain, they hung pots to help the world and drove Buddhism to death.
and.
The Tang Dynasty officials seemed to sense Su Chen's intentions. Li Shimin did not directly order the attack on Buddhism, but Prince Li Zhi directly ordered some officials with close contacts to use their power and influence to carry out dimensionality reduction attacks on Buddhism.
After all, he was the crown prince. With Li Shimin's acquiescence, Li Zhi's orders were very important, making it difficult for many Buddhist temples in the Tang Dynasty to survive.
Some officials even proposed that Buddhism should tax Buddhism because it was not engaged in production, but the Buddhist court spokesman vehemently rejected it.
In short, due to the operation of various forces, within two or three months from the time Tathagata came to Yunyuan Mountain to the present, two-thirds of the Buddhist temples were reduced.
It can be said to be a heavy loss.
However, at this point, the disciples of Yunyuan Mountain did not dare to go too far and could only slowly consume the Buddhist sect to death.
because.
Once, more than thirty outer disciples came to Yunyuan Mountain to slay demons for the people along the East China Sea, intending to use this opportunity to accumulate boundless merit.
However, the monsters he encountered were very powerful and terrifying, and easily swallowed them all, killing them all at once.
When Li Bai and others arrived, the monster had already escaped. This time, Yunyuan Mountain suffered heavy losses.
When the incident reached Su Chen's ears, Su Chen made some calculations and realized that it was the means of Buddhism.
They deliberately released the monsters to cause destruction in the East China Sea, attracting people from Yunyuan Mountain, and then let the monsters go on a killing spree.
Very simple and crude, but very effective.
Su Chen finally decided to let the disciples of Yunyuan Mountain take their time and not to rush, because the number of people was sparse and there was no way the Buddhist sect could be consumed.
If Buddhism had tried this trick a few times, there would probably be no one left in Yunyuan Mountain.
And when Yunyuan Mountain slowed down, the Buddhists did not continue to use this trick. After all, they were afraid of being discovered by others.
Once or twice is fine, but if you let others know about it if you use it too much, it will definitely damage the reputation of Buddhism.
At the critical time of seeking scriptures from the West, it is impossible for Buddhism to do anything detrimental to the reputation of Buddhism.
Lingxiao Palace.
The Jade Emperor summoned all the immortals.
"Everyone, there is an old monster in the East China Sea who has been sealed for ten thousand years. He has eaten thirty thousand mortals and more than thirty outer disciples in Yunyuan Mountain."
"Who can tell me what happened? Why did the sealed monster appear and dare to cause trouble in the East China Sea so boldly?"
The Jade Emperor was very angry. This incident in the East China Sea was too serious. If it was not investigated clearly, people would be panicked and the impact would be bad.
However, the incident happened suddenly, and the old monster is now missing, and nothing can be found at all.
Zhao Gongming is the marshal of the Xuantan Department, responsible for hunting down the murderer and the pursuit of this incident.
He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I found the old demon of the East China Sea in Jiyun Pond in the demon world, but he had been beaten into corpses."
"I used the magic of deduction, but couldn't find any clues. It seems that a master came forward and killed the old demon from the East China Sea. Looking at the traces of the fight, it was vaguely... the work of Buddhism."
Buddhism?!
All the immortals were stunned.
The Jade Emperor was also stunned for a moment.
When did Buddhism become so caring for the world that it went to the hinterland of the demon world to hunt down an old demon who had done many evil things?
Moreover, the old demon at least has the strength of the Golden Immortal Peak. He has ruthless methods and many tricks. Even the ordinary Golden Immortal Peak may not be his opponent.
Buddhism must at least dispatch the stronger Taiyi Golden Immortal, or even the Daluo Golden Immortal, in order to be sure of victory.
but.
Being able to do it so secretly, I'm afraid it was Daluo Jinxian who was dispatched.
It’s just that the old demon from the East China Sea brought trouble to the East China Sea and ate dozens of outer disciples from Yunyuan Mountain. Before Yunyuan Mountain could even take revenge, the Buddhist sect was destroyed?!
Buddhism and Yunyuan Mountain have enmity.
After all, he is the Jade Emperor, with a superior IQ and extraordinary methods. He understands many things in an instant.
He thought thoughtfully and said: "I just doubt what Buddhism did. Is there any definite evidence?"
Zhao Gongming said: "No."
All the immortals were in an uproar.
The Jade Emperor said: "If there is no evidence, it may not be the case. Even if it is, it means that a great Buddhist sect happened to pass by and kill the monster."
The immortals were silent.
They were not stupid and seemed to understand the meaning of the Jade Emperor's words.
It is very likely that Buddhism had a grudge against Yunyuan Mountain and deliberately let the old demon go to do evil in the East China Sea, and then attracted the people from Yunyuan Mountain there, and finally let the old demon eat the disciples of Yunyuan Mountain.
The Buddhists killed the old monster in order to silence the victims and destroy the corpses, but Zhao Gongming still found him.
However, this is a possibility.
It may also be that Yunyuanshan did this deliberately, sacrificing dozens of disciples and pouring dirty water on Buddhism.
But at present, there is no such possibility. After all, no one in Yunyuan Mountain can kill the old demon alone, and it also creates the illusion that it may be the work of Buddhism.
Just because it's unlikely, doesn't mean it's impossible.
Su Chen is very strong. If he takes action personally, it is possible.
It's just that Su Chen has been at Yunyuan Mountain all day long, interpreting people's signatures. This is something everyone knows.
What's more, even if Yunyuan Mountain wants to throw dirty water, after this happens, it's time to sue heaven and sue Buddhism.
However, Su Chen restrained his disciples and acted cautiously, making it clear that he was going to suffer the consequences of being dumb.
It wouldn't be the case if it were dirty water.
It was obvious that he had suffered the loss of being dumb and there was nothing he could do about it.
The Jade Emperor said: "Okay, this matter is complicated, let the Great Heavenly Master Ge Xuan investigate it carefully."
In fact, asking Ge Xuan to investigate would be nothing more than nothing.
All the immortals knew it, but there was nothing they could do.
After the dispersion of the dynasty.
Zhao Gongming and Ge Xuan went to see the Jade Emperor.
Zhao Gongming said: "Your Majesty, this matter is probably the work of Buddhism."
The Jade Emperor said: "Couldn't it be that Yunyuanshan did it deliberately to throw dirty water?"
Zhao Gongming said: "It's unlikely. After all, he didn't complain, but endured it."
The Jade Emperor said: "It's unlikely, but it's possible."
Zhao Gongming had nothing to say.
Ge Xuan has some relationship with Su Chen, but he must also consider the interests of Heaven.
He then said, "Your Majesty, it doesn't mean much anymore who did this."
"It's probably a grudge between Yunyuan Mountain and Buddhism. There's really no need for us to get involved."
The Jade Emperor sighed with emotion: "Who would have thought that King Su Tian would have grown to such an extent."
Ge Xuandao: "A few months ago, he had an earth-shattering battle with Tathagata. I can still remember it vividly."
The Jade Emperor also nodded, and then said: "The strength of the mortal king is a mystery. He should be at the peak of the strength of the Great Luo Jinxian, but he can compete with Tathagata. I am afraid he has the strength of a quasi-sage."
Zhao Gongming and Ge Xuan were both shocked.
Ge Xuan hurriedly said: "There are many immortals outside Yunyuan Mountain, and they have also strengthened the inspection of the Chang'an area by the Lei Troops, and they have not seen any display of quasi-sage cultivation by him."
The Jade Emperor had a headache and said: "I am also very surprised. Such strength has not been shown before. It is really unusual..."
suddenly.
An incredible idea flashed in the Jade Emperor's eyes.
He raised his head and looked at the two veterans. Ge Xuan was fine, Zhao Gongming was powerful and was already a quasi-sage.
He also seemed to have thought of a possibility.
The two looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"No way?!"
The Jade Emperor was surprised and made riddles.
Zhao Gongming said: "It is possible."
Ge Xuandao: "Your Majesty, Marshal Zhao, what happened?"
The two ignored him, and Zhao Gongming cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, after becoming a god, I received the favor of heaven and luckily became a quasi-sage. I am willing to enter the human world for your majesty and find out what's going on!"
Ge Xuan was shocked and said: "Zhao Xuantan, you, you, you are going to test King Su Tian?!"
Yesterday, I was told about extra updates, so I fell asleep after saying that. I was so comfortable that I couldn't get up.
I owe you more this time, and try to pay it back within the next few days. I owe you a chapter, so I'm sorry to ask for votes.
