The appearance of quasi-sages one after another made the situation, which was somewhat out of control, strangely calm down. No matter what others say, judging from the current situation, a war cannot break out. However, the dangers involved also make people vigilant. Who can
If you relax, you will definitely be stepped on the ground and severely humiliated.
In the Western Paradise, Jingyin and Zhunti recruited the medicine man who had just become a quasi-sage, the two quasi-sages of Maitreya. Among the five quasi-sages of Buddhism, these two are the only ones born from two saints, so naturally they are closer, and there are some things, it is best to
Tell these two people first.
During the chanting of Sanskrit Buddha, Jieyin stopped moving the beads. He opened his eyes and looked at Zhunti beside him. Zhunti asked the pharmacist, Maitreya said: "You two have also become quasi-sages. I don't know."
What do you think of the current situation in the East?"
The two met each other, and Maitreya laughed and made a gesture of invitation to the pharmacist. The pharmacist stood up, bowed and saluted, and said: "Reporting to the two respected masters, I believe that although the East is temporarily peaceful, it will be a matter of time before a war breaks out.
, but what makes the disciples hesitant is who will trigger the war? How to trigger it?"
"Good!" Maitreya answered and said, "This is what I mean too."
Zhunti smiled slightly and said, "Do you have any ideas?"
"The two disciples think that we should take the initiative." Medicine Master and Maitreya said in unison.
"Haha..." Zhunti laughed, with satisfaction and admiration on his face, and the same was true for the reception on the side. Zhunti said: "What you two said is good, and it is in line with what I and my senior brother want. So, you two
Do you have a solution in mind?"
This time the pharmacist made a request to Maitreya, and Maitreya took a step forward. He bowed and said: "The two disciples believe that our Buddhism should make good friends with Chanjiao. We should resolve the grievances with Chanjiao and divert Chanjiao's attention. Don't let Chanjiao let him.
They always stare at my Buddhism. Also, the two disciples thought that the River Styx on the mainland could move."
In two simple words, he and the pharmacist expressed the strategy they had in mind. Zhunti was also very satisfied with the introduction. These two disciples were worthy of being their direct disciples. They were indeed in tune with their ideas and were no different from theirs.
In today's mainland, the real danger is Buddhism, because Buddhism is completely surrounded by Chanjiao. Although Buddhism is not afraid of Chanjiao due to its strength, but Chanjiao now has three quasi-sages, who knows when other disciples will break through.
, if they also break through one after another, it will definitely be a fatal threat to Buddhism. Therefore, this threat must be eliminated as soon as possible.
The solution is actually very simple, that is, to give up some territory, resolve the resentment of Chanjiao, and break away from the siege of Chanjiao. But the step of moving the Styx is to rely on the powerful strength of Buddhism to drive him back to blood.
Sea. In this way, the Kingdom of Asura has become a place of Buddhism, and the lost territory of Chanjiao can be made up for. In this way, there will be less gossip among the disciples below.
From this point of view, the two of them thought very carefully, and Zhunti was very satisfied with the introduction. But there was one thing that they thought wrong, that is, the retreat of Buddhism. It should not be such a retreat.
Buddhism should indeed retreat in order to resolve the grievances of Chan Jiao. However, as the two think, it is impossible to give up most of the territory of Chan Jiao. In that case, Buddhism will only temporarily withdraw from the territory of Chan Jiao, and Chan Jiao may not be relieved. Moreover, they
As soon as he left, he was still next to Chanjiao, who was always worried. This was not a good idea. The best way was to let the two of them have a common enemy and share the pressure with each other.
The two of them also thought of this enemy, which was Hongyun's Demon Cult.
The Demonic Sect is definitely not liked by the Chanjiao. In their neighboring areas, the two sides also had a small amount of friction, but they were restrained by the red clouds and the two sides never fought. If Buddhism gave up some territory and then opened up the demonic sect's land, and the Chanjiao, the demonic sect would
If the two religions are neighbors, then the resentment of the Chan religion towards Buddhism will be transferred a lot, and they will not even dare to act rashly to win over Buddhism because they are worried that the two parties will merge.
As long as the two parties come together, all causes and effects will naturally be resolved. When the time comes, if Buddhism takes two more steps, then the two parties can still be friends.
After the four people agreed on the plan, Maitreya and the Medicine Master went to Lingshan to convey the will of the two saints. After receiving it, the Buddha Many Treasures Tathagata could not comment. He did not object or agree, he just said to do it.
In Buddhism, Duobao's prestige is absolutely no problem. His current status as Buddha makes him the boss of Western Buddhism. However, in some matters, Duobao has to obey the wishes of the two saints. If he wants to stand on his own, there is no way he can stand on his own.
Impossible. Moreover, Duobao entered Buddhism because he was not self-reliant. Otherwise, he would have joined in the past? All he needs is the great luck of Buddhism. Therefore, as long as he is supportive of Buddhism, Duobao Tathagata will not stop him.
.
It was the same this time. After understanding the meaning of the two saints, he immediately arranged for people to do it. Soon after, Buddhist disciples met with Chanjiao disciples to discuss their respective situations. In order to express sincerity, Buddhism gave up part of its territory before the negotiation.
.
As the negotiations deepened, the tacit understanding between the two parties became higher and higher. Buddhism aimed to connect its own territory, and gradually gave up its redundant territory in exchange for territory that was small and remote.
In the end, Buddhism gave up about one-third of its territory, and the Self-Changing Sect gained less than one-third and a half of the territory. It connected its own power with the Demonic Sect and broke away from the encirclement of the Self-Changing Sect.
adjacent.
In this way, Chanjiao, Buddhism, and Demonic sects are adjacent to each other, forming a tripartite force among the Three Kingdoms.
This change naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the prehistoric era. Some smart people thought of the possible purpose of the two religions soon after they moved. Just look at the Styx. This guy knew the actions of Buddhism as soon as he saw his Asura.
The country may be in danger.
In the past, his Asura Kingdom was able to gain a foothold because the mainland was too chaotic and attracted the attention of several major sects. Now, although the mainland is still chaotic, the power of the major sects has been greatly enhanced. They have the ability to be wary of other sects.
, take action against the Kingdom of Asura. Looking at the two sects faced by the Kingdom of Asura, Chanjiao and Buddhism, these are both powerful sects. Not to mention the two religions taking action together, even if one takes action, Styx will resist it on the mainland.
Can't stop it!
Thinking about the current situation, Styx could only smile bitterly. Fortunately, his religious lineage was not just on the mainland, but in the East China Sea, his sect also had a lineage. This extra lineage was an extra piece of luck.
Styx was very satisfied with his casual step.
"That's it! If you have to retreat, retreat!" With a sigh, Styx of the Sea of Blood ordered the Asura clan members in the Asura Kingdom to lead their elites to withdraw from the Asura Kingdom and vacate the territory.
Styx's movements were very fast, and his retreat exceeded many people's expectations, but those who understood Styx felt that he was in beauty.
In the hearts of these older generations, cherishing life is second only to seeking the Tao, and there is no exception. A conflict with Chanjiao and Buddhism will definitely lead to a war. When the time comes, he will face at least three quasi-sages.
It's not good for both religions to go together. No matter how strong Styx is, he can't stop him.
In this case, retreating was the best choice. However, Styx's retreat was not that simple. Before retreating, he let Asura provoke the Chanjiao, and his retreat seemed to be beaten by the Chanjiao.
In this way, Chanjiao took the lead in entering the Asura Kingdom, and took advantage of Styx's retreat to occupy a large amount of territory in one fell swoop.
This situation caught the Buddhist side a little off guard. Thinking of the strategy of making good friends with Chanjiao, Duobao Tathagata resisted the desire to seize territory and directly ordered the Buddhist disciples to cede all the territory to Chanjiao except some border areas.
Their concessions made Chanjiao feel relieved, and Guangchengzi and others also began to consider Buddhism again. It can be said that Duobao's move truly opened the way for exchanges between the two religions. If the two religions really cooperate in the future, Duobao will
This move should definitely be the first success.
In the Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun were sitting opposite each other. Both of them looked a little bad. Minghe thought about Buddhism and explained the possible strategies of the religion. Naturally, the two of them also thought of it, especially those that bordered on the demonic sect.
One step made Hongyun very embarrassed.
"Fellow Taoist, you don't have to worry too much. Buddhism has always owed you great karma. Even if they really deal with your demon sect, they have to consider it carefully." Zhen Yuanzi consoled him, but his consolation could not make Hongyun
Peace of mind.
What Hongyun is worried about is not only Buddhism's attack on the demonic sect, but also the development of his own demonic sect.
Hongyun had anticipated Buddhism's reaction and was not concerned about it. But what about the development of the Demon Sect? His step southward was very beautiful, but after that? Judging from the current situation, the Demon Sect seems to have been blocked, and it has been blocked.
There, it is simply impossible to continue to expand the territory.
A strength that cannot expand will be peaceful, and after a long period of peace, it will decline. As the master of the Demonic Way, Hongyun naturally has to worry about the Demonic Sect. However, this kind of worry is not enough for outsiders. And Hongyun still has something vaguely hidden in his heart.
The first worry is that he is afraid that Chanjiao will deal with Zhen Yuanzi. When Buddhism involves him, Chanjiao will use all its strength to deal with Zhen Yuanzi, and Zhen Yuanzi will never be able to resist it.
And Buddhism can completely make up for the karma they owe by Zhen Yuanzi.
This is also the reason why he is unwilling to talk to Zhen Yuanzi. The two are old friends, and Hongyun appreciates Zhen Yuanzi's favor. He is thinking more about the magic way now, hoping to help him break through the magic way.
Zhen Yuanzi dispersed the pressure and attracted everyone's attention.
