Jiang Lihuai smiled and said: "Senior really loves to joke."
Overall, the initial communication was friendly, harmonious, and smooth, so the greeting phase can be ended here.
Jiang Li changed the topic smoothly, looked at the soul, and said bluntly: "I wonder why the senior invites the junior here?"
"The second time Buddhism is spread to the East from the Buddhist country, how can the old Taoist people not come?"
There was still a smile on Daojun's face, but there was an indescribable pressure arising out of thin air, "Do you know that when the old Taoist traveled westward, it was not actually to prevent the spread of Buddhism from the Buddhist country to the east, but to prevent the Buddha from spreading eastward.
The country is really like a change to the Buddhist country."
"Change?" Jiang Li raised his brows upon hearing this.
This statement was something he had never thought of.
According to current records, the changes in the Buddhist country a hundred years ago should be like this -
The Awakened One's Path and Fruits were perfect, and there was Manjushri, a third-rank man. The power of the Buddhist Kingdom had reached perfection, and he wanted to spread Buddhism eastward. At that time, the Fourth Rank of the Buddha Kingdom brought a third-rank Taoist vessel, which was the Longhua tree that carried the Maitreya Path and Fruit.
Entering Yongzhou, establishing the Mahayana sect as a pioneer, and then the Buddhist kingdom will march eastwards with all its strength.
However, at that time, the Taoist Lord traveled westward, entered the Buddhist kingdom, discussed the Tao with the Awakened One, enlightened the Karma Tathagata, and caused the great enemy of the Awakened One to appear in the world.
After a battle, both of them were born, and they made a promise that "the Awakened One will never be born, and the Tathagata will never leave the world."
At this point, the Buddhist country's first plan to spread Buddhism eastward ended in complete failure.
But now the Taoist king who personally promoted all this said that he was not trying to prevent the spread of Buddhism eastward, but to prevent the Enlightened One from changing the Buddhist kingdom.
In other words, the spread of Buddhism to the East is something that Dao Lord would like to see to some extent.
"Change."
Li Boyang repeated these two words and said: "Nine out of ten practitioners in the Buddhist Kingdom practice hooking techniques and use incense to help their practice. This makes them better than other practitioners in the same level, but it also goes against the Buddhist Kingdom.
The concept of the first truth. The Buddha is the enlightened one. The Buddha is enlightened by himself, not by the incense. The prevalence of the trick has caused the Buddhist country to deviate from the Buddhist path it recognizes. Therefore, he will
Clear up the source and return the practice of Buddhism to its proper form."
"This is also his last concern for the Buddhist kingdom. Only in this way can he be promoted in the best condition."
"In the name of spreading Buddhism to the east, the source of Buddhism can be rectified..." Jiang Li muttered, "So, he wants to clean up the Buddhist country."
The essence of the spread of Buddhism to the east is to convert more people in order to gain more incense. It is self-evident what kind of people are willing to pursue this action. Zhenru lay people use this as bait to fish out those who seek incense at any cost.
Practitioners in the Buddhist country then perform cleansing.
The first spread of Buddhism to the east was destined to fail, but it should not have failed at the hands of the Taoist Lord, but at the hands of the Enlightened One.
Dao Lord's journey to the west indeed failed the first spread of Buddhism eastward, but it also failed the Enlightenment's purge plan. The group of practitioners who first entered Yongzhou to establish the Mahayana sect died, but they were the only ones who died. More
Those who advocated the spread of Buddhism to the east stopped in the Buddhist country because Karma Tathagata suddenly appeared in the world before they could even start.
After that, the Awakened One did not come out of the world, and the Tathagata did not come out of seclusion. Therefore, the Awakened One went into seclusion for hundreds of years. The practice of Gouzhao was not curbed. On the contrary, it became more popular after the Awakened One went into seclusion. Up to now, there are very few people in the Buddhist country.
Don't practice hook tricks.
Because of this, the enlightened ones are unable to resolve their concerns about the Buddha's kingdom, cannot understand their state of mind, and cannot be promoted.
Even from what Jiang Li knows, the Enlightened One may now have to solve Karma Tathagata in order to make himself perfect and seek promotion.
And now, the opportunity has come.
The second spread of Buddhism eastwards will be the second purge.
Returning Buddhism to the true nature desired by the Enlightened One and getting rid of worries, or obsessions, will enable the Enlightened One to advance to the second level.
Sure enough, when it comes to matters concerning practitioners, after all, promotion is indispensable, especially for those who are already at the top.
At the same time, Jiang Li had finally seen the insidiousness of these third-grade and sixth-grade men.
"Senior, do you want this junior to stop?" Jiang Li asked.
"No," Taoist Lord shook his head, "Although Buddhism is a way to do good, the way of incense is not the way to worship goodness. The belief in incense is endlessly poisonous, how can the old Taoist allow this poison to harm the people of Jiuzhou? You don't need to accept it.
You only need to keep your hands to repel the Buddhist monks and make them return to the Western Land."
Don't let the poison harm the people of Kyushu, but it doesn't matter in the Buddhist country, right?
Jiang Li had the feeling of getting to know Taoist Lord again. It seemed that this Taoist was not as neutral as the rumors.
Dao Lord also seemed to have seen what Jiang Li was thinking, and said: "Morality is the right way, not the way of good virtue. The old way has morality, but no morality. Even if it has good intentions, it cannot care about the people outside the country.
.”
The former morality refers to the right way, and the latter morality refers to morality in the Confucian understanding.
Tao Lord was also calm and did not shy away from such private thoughts, so he spoke it outright. He is a Taoist, not a compassionate immortal Buddha.
The topic was discussed straightforwardly, and it was Jiang Li's turn to make a choice.
"My little friend from the old Taoist temple is also familiar with the laws of yin and yang. If you are willing to accept this matter, I am willing to give you the Nine Heavens' True Secret to Conquer Demons to help you." The Taoist was still simple and straightforward, and he hit the mark.
"It's not something a wise person would do to lure someone with benefits." Hearing this, Jiang Li had an inexplicable look on his face.
At the same time, he was sure in his heart that this Taoist had seen through his secret learning and the traces of the Nine Heavens' true secret to defeating demons.
When he met Dao Lord, or even before meeting him, Jiang Li had already prepared for this. He had never underestimated these powerful people.
Moreover, since Li Qinglian had met Mr. Dao before, it does not rule out the possibility that he would tell Mr. Dao about matters related to his impunity. With those things as evidence, even if no traces were seen, he could still make some inferences.
Therefore, when Jiang Li first met, he said that the only people who could travel as a soul for a long time were Dao Lord and himself.
Now, this guess has been completely confirmed. Daojun said that he saw that Jiang Li knew the magic of Yin and Yang, which was to give Jiang Li face. In fact, he was referring to the traces of the true secret of Jiutian Demon.
But who was Jiang Li? He was recognized by Daojun as someone who looked like a great master. He was not embarrassed by Daojun's words and instead asked about it.
"You and I have no friendship. If we don't tempt each other with benefits, how can we persuade each other with righteousness?" The old Taoist said quite clearly, "Or do you prefer to believe in righteousness?"
Jiang Li: "·······"
Really good at reading people.
I can only say that although Daojun is an expert outside the world, he still has a clear view of human nature, especially how to deal with people like Jiang Li. The most important thing is that he doesn't like to play aggressive like some old guys.
, as the Riddler.
??????55.??????
"Senior, you really have a keen eye."
Jiang Li sighed with emotion, and then added a twist, "What a pity..."
"It's a pity that you are late."
This place, which was originally like a paradise in the cave, was cut into two parts. One half remained the same, and the other half turned into a pure and empty state. Amidst the faint sound of Sanskrit sounds, a stone pavilion turned into reality, with a man in white clothes sitting inside.
The white-haired layman continued.
The sudden change made Li Qinglian's face freeze, and it was full of solemnity. He had already sensed that the arrival was unusual.
Taojun, on the other hand, said to him without changing his expression: "The old Taoist thought you were still sitting in seclusion."
"You are still sitting in seclusion," the white-haired layman said calmly, "but the Taoist has thought of the name of the deluded person several times. Even if the deluded person is sitting in seclusion, he has to use his mind to see the Taoist.
"
"If you keep thinking about it, there will be echoes..." Taojun's eyes moved slightly, "It seems that these hundred years have not been wasted by the enlightened ones."
'Name? Is it true?' Jiang Li also thought in his mind, 'These powerful people will really surprise people.'
Thinking that he had addressed each other as Zhenru Jushi most of the time, Jiang Li had the thought of regretting it. Fortunately, he was both extremely powerful and had the Karma Collection. If he had been another person, he would have even been covered with underwear.
The enlightened one saw through it.
"A hundred years of time have not been spent in vain by those who are lost, but they have spent a hundred years in vain by those who watch the Tao."
The Enlightenment said calmly: "A hundred years ago, the Lost One was aware of it in advance, so he manipulated the cause and effect, revealing the identity and whereabouts of Benefactor Ji, causing the Taoist to be injured in the fight with him, but in the end, the Taoist blocked his way with injuries.
.After a hundred years, the Taoist has not yet been injured, and he will use his hands to inflict pain on others."
As the words came out, the surrounding boundaries began to change.
The world divided into two halves is rubbing against each other. Although the Awakened One and the Tao Lord have not taken action, the invisible confrontation has begun. The formlessness of the Tao and the emptiness of the Buddha are resisting each other. The subtle changes are both secret and profound.
As an observer, Jiang Li also knew why Ji Jiji bumped into Daojun in Yongzhou.
Emotions are the awakened being secretly guiding cause and effect.
At that time, Ji Jiji was probably not as skilled in the art of cutting off the heavens as he is now. His traces were seen when he was doing trouble in the Buddhist Kingdom, and then he was tricked by the Enlightened One.
Unfortunately, the enlightened being a hundred years ago still missed a move. Even though he had injured the Tao Lord, he was still blocked by the Tao Lord. After that, he became a hundred-year-old self-proclaimed Tathagata of Karma.
A hundred years later, the two most powerful men met again. Although they were not their real bodies, they still showed obvious opposition to each other. The awakened man spoke with the intention of using this as a way to move the Tao Lord's mind.
However, the realm of Daojun cannot be shaken by a few words.
He remained calm and maintained half of the boundaries. He was indifferent and showed no urgency. He just listened to him: "The old Taoist really has no progress. It is not as good as the enlightened ones. There is still room for improvement. In addition, there are also Tianjun and Great Lord stirring up trouble."
Feng Yun, the old Taoist is now unable to deal with the Awakened One."
I have already reached my limit and can't make any progress, but you still have room for improvement.
The words seem to be retreating but actually advancing, never falling behind.
However, the enlightened person's state of mind is not inferior to that of others. When faced with words that seem to be complimentary but actually derogatory, he is also as calm as an ancient well.
"So, the Taoist wants the fake hand Jiang Donor's hand? Unfortunately, the Taoist is a step too late."
The Awakened One smiled and said: "The Taoist has no friendship with Master Jiang, but there are some who are confused."
He had made the investment early, and even wanted to earn Jiang Li a chance to go up the mountain. Although Jiang Li refused in the end, the favor between the two parties existed.
On the other hand, Jiang Li and Daojun...or rather with Daodezong, Daodezong's contemporary great disciple Yuan Zhen died at the hands of Jiang Li. Although this matter has been revealed, the rift remains, and they may not become enemies in the future.
Moreover, although the Nine Heavens Demon Conquering True Technique is good, it is just the icing on the cake for the current Jiang Li. He has already understood the secret, and even if he does not know all the techniques, it is not a big deal.
Comparing the two, even if his friendship with the Awakened One is not that deep, Jiang Li would not become an enemy of the Awakened One over this matter.
After hearing the words of the Enlightened One, Jiang Li said: "As for the enemy, I think it is better to eradicate the enemy. Being able to get rid of Manjusri and others can be regarded as settling a grudge for me."
Having said this, Jiang Li glanced at the layman in the stone pavilion.
He now suspected that when the newly awakened being came to him, he had already thought of today.
In the Buddhist Kingdom, members of the Jiang family joined and held high positions, leading the spread of Buddhism eastward. The Enlightenment's investment in Jiang Li, who was an enemy of the Jiang family, not only facilitated the cleansing of the Buddhist Kingdom in the future, but also prevented Jiang Li from doing so.
The possibility of being won over by Taojun.
If Jiang Li had accepted Sun Wukong's three Taoist fruits, it would have given the Awakened One no worries.
Not only had he complied with Jiang Li's wishes, but also had friendship with him, and the awakened master was so considerate. If Jiang Li refused to give him face, he would be a bit unethical.
"What a pity." The old Taoist sighed.
"It's a pity." The Awakened One smiled.
The two people's voices fell one after another, the invisible charm became tangible, and the invisible confrontation became apparent.
Behind Dao Lord, a Tai Chi diagram slowly emerges, carrying Yin and embracing Yang, and injecting Qi into harmony. The two poles of Yin and Yang circulate endlessly, from fine to micro to large to strong. There is also a general trend emerging, such as the arrival of the Great Dao, which makes ghosts and gods unable to stop.
complex.
The Tao comes to the world, and its ghosts are not gods.
Even if he didn't display it directly, the power of this great avenue alone made Jiang Li feel that all the magical powers that were running smoothly began to stagnate, and even his thinking and state of mind were not as clear as before.
This is the magical power of Daojun.
Along the way, Jiang Li has accommodated the unique Tao Fruit, and benefited from it. He has accumulated his own talents and foundation to be extremely strong, and he has the current strength. But when he truly faces the [Dao Comes to the World]
, he also ushered in the biggest challenge.
When the power of Dao Fruit and magical powers began to stagnate and fail, Jiang Li finally understood why Tianjun was so pursuing the perfection of his skills, and for this reason he had created such a big problem for Jiang Li.
Facing the Dao Lord, it is difficult to rely on Dao Fruit, and the only thing you can rely on is Kung Fu.
Fortunately, Jiang Li is not a Daoguo warrior and does not fully rely on Daoguo's magical power. Otherwise, he might not even be able to escape when facing Daojun.
and······
Although the magical power of Dao Fruit is sluggish, the passive Dao Fruit has not expired. Because of the existence of the set of cause and effect, Jiang Li's cause and effect has been restrained and will never turn back!
Even now, the Cause and Effect Collection is still Jiang Li's indispensable reliance.
