No wonder Taiyin Zhenjun did not hesitate to beat his disciples violently in order to apologize to himself.
It turns out that this is asking for something from yourself, trying to win people's hearts!
After listening to the words of True Lord Taiyin, Li Xiao couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart, showing a hint of confusion: "Could it be that there is something going on over there in Buddhism?"
Facing Li Xiao's gaze, True Lord Taiyin smiled bitterly and said: "As you know, the emperor wants to pursue the way to immortality, but I have tried repeatedly but failed, so the emperor has gradually alienated me."
"In turn, we began to revive Buddhism and restore Buddhist temples. If we allow it to develop, the status of our Taoist sect will be threatened... and there may even be a danger of annihilation."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed subtly.
Whether it is Taiyin Zhenjun, Zihe Taoist, or Xiaoqiang and Li Xiao, they are all members of the Taoist sect.
If this trend continues, the tragedy that once happened to Buddhism is likely to happen again to Taoism.
If the Taoist sect suffered a disaster, they would all be affected as well, after all, there would be no intact eggs if the nest was overturned.
Immediately afterwards, True Lord Taiyin recounted to Li Xiao what happened that day in the court.
Under the recommendation of Prime Minister Zheng Lang, the emperor met with Master Fa Tong and his disciple Fa Hai from Jinshan Temple in Hangzhou. The emperor was in awe of this Buddhist giant, so he placed his hope of pursuing the path to immortality in him.
onto the other party's body.
However, Master Fatong had no intention of entering the temple. Instead, he recommended his disciple Fahai. So the emperor conferred Fahai the title of Holy Zen Master, Zuo Guoshi. He was on an equal footing with Taiyin Zhenjun. For a time, he also became famous and in the limelight.
Sheng!
When he heard the name Fahai, Li Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Because the Origin of the White Snake originally followed the background and world view of the Legend of the White Snake, the existence of Fa Hai is naturally reasonable.
It's just that the current Fa Hai is not the old abbot of Jinshan Temple five hundred years later, but a disciple of Master Fa Tong, who has risen from a young novice to become the Zuo Guoshi of the current dynasty.
Being able to be cultivated so carefully by Master Fa Tong shows that Fa Hai's attainments in Buddhism are quite profound. In time, he may become a generation of eminent monks.
Thoughts were surging in his mind. Li Xiao looked directly at True Lord Taiyin and said with a half-smile: "So, Senior Brother Zhang's visit to Biguan this time is to convince me to join forces with you to overthrow Fahai and stop Buddhism."
Is the power coming back?"
Taiyin Zhenjun smiled and said: "Junior brother is indeed a smart man. Of course he wants to prevent the rise of Buddhism. In addition to overthrowing Fahai, my Taiyin Zhenqi can only refine the ten thousand snakes, reach the state of perfection, and be white as soon as possible.
When the sun rises, only in this way can we regain the emperor's favor and protect the Taoist sect from continuing to prosper, making the seas and rivers clear and the world at peace!"
A glint flashed in Li Xiao's eyes and he said: "If my guess is correct, you came to Yongzhou City because of those snake monsters."
Taiyin Zhenjun said: "Yes, if you want to perfect Taiyin's true power, you need to refine Ten Thousand Snakes, and the Ten Thousand Snake Cave where the snake demons gather is in Yongzhou. This is why I came all the way from Chang'an City
The reason for coming to Yongzhou!”
"Conquering demons and eliminating demons is a matter of immeasurable merit. After destroying those snake demons, my junior brother can also add some merit, and I can also practice the true Taiyin skill to perfection as I wish. Doesn't everyone get what he deserves? Of course, what's more important is
It is to carry forward the inheritance of Taoism."
True Lord Taiyin spoke impassionedly, with excitement in his words, as if he was devoting his whole life to the Taoist sect with good intentions.
After Taiyin Zhenjun paused, he continued to speak: "As long as junior brother can help me eliminate the demon, Ying Shao will never treat you badly. No matter whether it is glory, wealth, power or fame, just ask."
After listening to the other party's words, Li Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a look of surprise, and the doubts in his heart were suddenly solved.
After going around in such a big circle, Taiyin Zhengong still can't forget those snake monsters.
Absorbing the power of thousands of snake monsters and refining the Yin of Guishui to the extreme, you can use yourself as Yin to instill the evil spirit between heaven and earth. This is a shortcut to ascending as soon as possible, so that countless evil cultivators flock to it.
, and Taiyin Zhenjun is one of them.
This is really a good calculation.
It is also enough to show that the other party seems to be full of confidence in the true power of Taiyin, and has a kind of ambition that I can achieve in the world.
Now Li Xiao finally understood that True Lord Taiyin would come to find him.
Although the two are from the same sect, they have no friendship with each other.
Moreover, Li Xiao also crippled the cultivation of his apprentice, Taoist Zihe. It is absolutely impossible for True Lord Taiyin not to hold grudges.
But for True Monarch Taiyin, the most difficult and urgent thing at the moment is the pressure from the emperor and the threat from Buddhism, which makes True Monarch Taiyin's position in jeopardy.
In comparison, Li Xiao and Taiyin Zhenjun are brothers in the same sect and are the inheritance of each other's Taoism.
And Buddhism is their opposite. If Buddhism succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous.
Because of his relationship as a fellow disciple, Li Xiao became someone whom True Lord Taiyin could win over and join forces with.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is exactly the truth.
For this reason, True Lord Taiyin could even lower his status as a national teacher and come to Li Xiao for help. It must be said that this kind of ambition is indeed what a person who achieves great things should have.
After figuring out the link, Li Xiao suddenly understood.
As the words fell, Taiyin Zhenjun's burning eyes fell on Li Xiao, slightly uneasy, as if he was waiting for the other party's reply.
Under the gaze of True Lord Taiyin, Li Xiao pondered for a moment, then chuckled and said: "Since it is for the Taoist sect, Li Xiao is naturally duty-bound. Since my senior brother has spoken, how can I not help?"
Taiyin Zhenjun was overjoyed: "Okay, junior brother is really happy."
Tapping his fingers on the table, Li Xiao changed the subject and said: "However, there are thousands of snake monsters gathered in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. Their strength cannot be underestimated, and they are located in a dangerous pass. It is difficult to eradicate them in one fell swoop.
It’s not easy.”
Taiyin Zhenjun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he leaned forward slightly: "Then, junior brother, do you have any good ideas?"
Li Xiao thought for a while and said calmly: "Actually, I do have a plan."
"As the saying goes, to capture the thief first, capture the king. The leader of the snake demon clan is Wuji Snake Mother. As long as we find a way to lure the snake demon leader Wuji Snake Mother out of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, and then take the opportunity to kill them, the rest of them will be killed.
The snake monsters are just a group of remnants and defeated generals, scattered and scattered, so they are nothing to worry about."
