Chapter 1045: Taoist layout, I am Buddha Tathagata
The mountain behind Taoist Palace.
Lin Zezhuangzhou straightened his body and waited patiently for the Taoist saint in front of him to finish his meditation and enlightenment.
Uncharacteristically, Qing Niu did not bury his head in the grass, but lay down next to the Taoist Saint. He looked straight at Lin Zezhuang Tuesday with his eyes wide open, as if he was worried that the two of them would be detrimental to the Taoist Saint.
Lin Ze took this scene into consideration, and his evaluation of Qing Niu improved several levels.
If you only have a cultivation level comparable to that of a saint, you only need multiple mental eyes. If you also possess unimaginable wisdom, you will undoubtedly become a powerful enemy.
After a long time, Taoist Saint opened his eyes, looked at Lin Ze Zhuang Zhou with an indifferent expression, and said calmly: "Why did you two come here in such a hurry?"
Zhuang Zhou took a step forward and told all about Lin Ze and his plan to "persuade" the Buddhist Confucianists to help revive the sacred tree, as well as the changes that had occurred among the Buddhist Confucianists.
After hearing this, Taoist Saint calmly asked: "Is this matter confirmed?"
Zhuang Zhou said sincerely: "The disciple has experienced it personally and dare not deceive the teacher."
The Taoist Saint had an expressionless face, stretched out his right hand, pinched his fingers, and then a hint of understanding appeared on his face: "Well, it is indeed true. What do you two think?"
Zhuang Zhou did not rush to answer, but turned to look at Lin Ze, implying that Lin Ze would do the talking.
Lin Ze immediately understood, took a step forward, and said with a calm expression: "Although I have no way of knowing what exactly happened in Buddhism, I have a vague hunch that it will be detrimental to the resurrection of the sacred tree, and even to the Taoist palace."
"The disciple hopes that the teacher can find out the truth and that the disciple can take action to prevent future troubles and give the mastermind a fatal blow to avoid endless troubles in the future."
The Taoist Saint smiled softly and said unequivocally: "You don't even know who is behind the scenes, so you are so sure that you can solve the problem?"
Faced with the Taoist Sage's doubts, Lin Ze's expression remained unchanged and he said: "Reporting to the teacher, I have calculated that the person who can kill all the heavenly beings in Buddhism will be at the peak of the third realm of heavenly beings at worst, and not as strong as a saint at the most."
"Except for the Taoist Palace, there is only one saint in the world, Saint Xuanwei. However, Saint Xuanwei has no grievances with Buddhism in the past and has no enmity in recent times. Furthermore, destroying Buddhism will not bring any benefit to the Guigu sect, so it can be concluded that he is not a saint.
What you did.”
"And if the mastermind behind the scenes is only in the third realm of heavenly beings, even if his cultivation is similar to that of Senior Brother Zhuang Zhou before he became a saint, the disciple will still have ways to deal with him. Please feel free to worry, teacher."
In front of the Dao Sage, Lin Ze would certainly not reveal his speculation that the Dao Sage might be the murderer. Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate that the murderer is at the peak of the third realm of Heaven and Human.
Even so, Lin Ze did not give up his doubts about the Taoist Saint. He had been observing the changes in the Taoist Saint's face calmly and secretly, trying to draw clues from it.
As a result, Lin Ze found nothing. The Taoist Saint has been in a state of detachment, not to mention his face and hair.
The Taoist Saint said in a solemn tone: "Your speculation is quite reasonable, but you have only missed one point. This matter is too strange, and even my master cannot easily find out the truth."
Lin Ze heard this and silently overlapped the identity of the murderer with Taoist Saint.
It wasn't because Dao Sheng couldn't find the murderer that Lin Ze would forcefully put it on him.
Rather, Taoist Saint didn't take any action at all. He simply said that he couldn't find it out, which seemed a bit like trying to fool him.
Zhuang Zhou sighed and said, "What should we do?"
The Taoist Saint suddenly said: "Although I cannot find out the mastermind behind this, I have an alternative method."
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows and sneered secretly: Are you going to show your fox tail?
Zhuang Zhou's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "I wonder what good advice the teacher has?"
The Taoist sage ignored Zhuang Zhou, lowered his head and shouted softly: "Don't resist."
Then he stretched out his hand to grab and retract into the void, and a figure appeared out of thin air, stumbling in front of Lin Ze and others.
Seeing the face of the visitor clearly, Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but said in surprise: "The God of Mount Tai? Is the good strategy mentioned by the teacher related to him?"
Lin Ze was confused and couldn't figure out what Tao Sheng wanted to do.
The God of Mount Tai stood firm and bowed to Taoist Sage, Zhuang Zhou and Lin Ze respectively with a solemn expression.
"Meet Taoist Saint."
"Meet Zhuang Sheng."
"Meet Lin Sheng."
After the Lord Taishan saluted Lin Ze, he couldn't help but look at him one more time. In his eyes, there was a bit of envy, a bit of admiration, a bit of jealousy, and a bit of unwillingness.
The so-called "one glance for ten thousand years" is very complicated.
In ancient times, the Divine Monarch of Mount Tai had already mastered the divine way and gained a great reputation in the divine way. However, due to the decline of the divine way, he wasted countless years and could not make any progress. Today, I see Lin Ze coming from behind and becoming a transcendent saint. How can I not be touched in my heart?
At this moment, the idea of abolishing Shinto cultivation and using reincarnation to wash away the mark of Shinto suddenly appeared in the mind of Lord Taishan, so as to break the shackles, practice martial arts and become a saint.
Soon, Shenjun Taishan gave up this idea. When Shinto declined, it was not that some powerful Shinto people took risks and wanted to go further by changing their appearance.
As a result, many powerful Shinto men have been reincarnated, but only a few have achieved anything.
There are powerful people in Shinto who are good at deducing the secrets of heaven and earth. They have said clearly that the decline of Shinto is due to fate. If fate cannot be changed, reincarnation will be in vain.
All kinds of thoughts quickly flowed through the mind of Mount Tai, and finally turned into a humble word: "I wonder why the little god came here?"
The Taoist Saint said casually: "When you were invited by Lin Ze and decided to join the Taoist Palace, Pindao once said that if there is a chance, I will help you break the shackles of the Shinto. Now there is an opportunity, but I don't know if you have the courage.
To seize this opportunity?"
Taishan Divine Lord was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then his expressions of joy were palpable. He suppressed his excitement, but said a little incoherently: "Dare you ask what the opportunity mentioned by the sage specifically means? I hope that the sage will give you some advice."
The Taoist sage said calmly: "The foundation of Shinto lies in faith. The ancient emperor Zhuanxu directly cut off the foundation of Shinto. Since then, Shinto has declined and it will be difficult to recover. I wonder if what Pindao said is right or wrong?"
Taishan Shenjun was not sure why the Taoist Saint suddenly mentioned this matter, so he could only reply honestly: "Everything said by the Taoist Saint is true. The decline of the Shinto was mainly due to the fact that the human emperor Zhuanxu was so powerful that the gods lost faith in the world.
"
"Belief is not only the foundation of Shinto, but also the basis for the survival of the gods. After Zhuanxu died, a large number of gods fell, and those who were lucky enough to survive will not regain their former glory."
The Taoist Saint continued: "In order to continue, you have thought of an excellent way, which is to combine the illusory Shinto with the real thing."
"For example, you entrusted your Shinto to Mount Tai, and even the name of the god changed from the Emperor of Donghua to the Divine Lord of Mount Tai."
"Such as Yunmengze Shuijun, Vulcan, etc., were all originally top powerhouses of Shinto. They relied on clever methods to avoid the crisis of being buried with Shinto and lived for countless more years."
Taishan Shenjun became more and more confused about what Tao Sheng wanted to express by taking this opportunity, so he could only follow Tao Sheng and bite the bullet and replied: "What Tao Sheng said is right, Xiao Shen and others survived through this method."
The Taoist sage said to himself: "So in order to restore the glory of Shinto, we must first solve the problem of faith. I wonder if what I say is right?"
"Yeah."
The God of Mount Tai has temporarily become a yes man. You are so awesome and everything you say is right.
"Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism dominate the world. Shintoism has no one as strong as the saints, so its revival is far away."
Taishan Divine Lord sighed and said: "In the Shinto, there were actually strong men who were comparable to the Saint Realm. It was a pity that the Human Emperor Zhuanxu used his unrivaled human luck to forcibly kill all these strong men with the help of the Jedi Heavenly Power.
Er Jing.”
"Later on, Shinto declined, and most of the gods lost their faith. It was difficult to even save their lives. Naturally, there were no such strong men."
The Taoist Saint said calmly: "Then do you know that the foundation of Buddhism is also the power of faith?"
The God of Mount Tai smiled bitterly and said: "So what if you know? Buddhism is arrogant and the Buddha is unparalleled. How can a little god compete with him?"
The Taoist sage smiled calmly and said: "Did you know that the Buddha has been sealed by Lin Ze, a poor Taoist disciple?"
The God of Mount Tai nodded slightly and said, "I have heard a little bit."
The Taoist Saint's smile suddenly faded, and he said seriously: "If the poor Taoist tells you that he will find a way to seal the Buddha forever, and support you to seize the power of Buddhist faith, would you dare to do it?"
"This, this..." Godly Lord Taishan was shaken all over, and he was so surprised that he was speechless.
"How did this happen?"
The Taoist sage couldn't deny it and asked: "Why can't it be done? You keep saying that there is no chance. Today Pindao brings the opportunity to you and takes most of the risks for you, but you tell Pindao that it can't be done? Is it true that it can't be done or is it?
You do not dare?"
Taishan God Lord smiled bitterly and said: "You have already said this. If the little god says that he dares not, wouldn't he be betraying your good intentions?"
"The little god just feels that he doesn't know how to start, and he is not sure whether it is feasible, so he is a little hesitant. I still need to ask for your guidance."
The Taoist Saint said calmly: "This is easy, Lin Ze, do you think so?"
Lin Ze, who was also shocked by Taoist Sage's words, nodded quickly and said: "Since the teacher has brought up this matter, he must have a perfect plan. As long as the Lord God just listens to the teacher's instructions with peace of mind, he will be able to succeed immediately and all his wishes will come true."
The Taoist Saint chuckled and said, "You are very naughty. Now that we have talked about this, I should be a good person and follow through on it, and make my words clear to the Lord Shen."
"Just like you entrusted the avenue to Mount Tai, you cut the avenue in half and entrusted it to become an object of Buddhist offerings, thereby absorbing the power of Buddhist belief."
"As the power of faith you absorb increases, you will master many Buddhist magical powers without a teacher, and then completely occupy the magpie's nest and adopt Buddhism as your own."
"Now that the Buddhist sect has been wiped out, and the Buddha has been sealed by the Taoist palace, it is the best time for you to take action. If you miss today, you may not be able to get a similar opportunity again."
The God of Mount Tai looked troubled and said: "Who should I entrust to support Buddhism? If Buddhist believers don't believe in the little god, the little god may be in danger of falling."
The Taoist sage could not deny it and said: "How come no one believes in it? You only need to fabricate a Buddha in your own image, call yourself the Tathagata, and claim to be the true body of the Buddha. Are you still afraid that Buddhist believers will not recognize you?"
"Lin Ze, what do you think of the title Tathagata Buddha?"
Lin Ze was extremely shocked and looked at the Taoist Saint, secretly complaining: God, Tathagata Buddha, I doubt you came through time travel.
The Taoist Saint seemed to have guessed Lin Ze's thoughts and shook his head: "The title of Tathagata Buddha is not what I thought, but what I heard from that person."
"Since that golden speaker said that the Lord of Buddhism should be named Tathagata, I naturally have to find ways to make it a reality as a teacher. Lin Ze, what do you think?"
Lin Ze was completely confused: After working on it for a long time, the original Taoist was also a time traveler?
