The first thousand and sixty-five chapters hesitate and settle for the time being
When Buddha hesitated, Lin Ze couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
The Taoist Sage previously supported the God of Mount Tai to replace the Buddha and conquer Buddhism. No matter how you look at it, it was all to deal with the Buddha.
More than a year later, the God of Mount Tai not only succeeded in conquering Buddhism, but also stood firm and fought a battle with the Buddha who came after hearing the news.
Although the Buddha rebounded fiercely, Taoist Sage took action and defeated him in one fell swoop, which was a complete victory.
No matter from which perspective, the strategy used by Taoist Saints to deal with Buddha was extremely accurate and successful.
But something strange happened. After the Taoist sage won, instead of killing all the Buddhas, he took the opportunity of transcending the realm as bait to actively win over the Buddhas and form an alliance.
Then there are more problems. If supporting the God of Mount Tai is to deal with Buddha, Taoist saints should not be merciful!
This doesn't make sense.
Logically speaking, the Taoist Sage should take advantage of the fact that the Buddha was seriously injured and send the Buddha back to the Western Paradise, even if he had to pay part of the price.
If it was just to form an alliance with Buddha, there would be no need for the Taoist Saint to go through so many circles.
He could completely skip the step of enmity between Mount Tai and Buddha and form an alliance with Buddha directly. In this way, many troubles could be completely avoided.
For example, now, Buddha will never hesitate, he will only agree.
Lin Ze said that he really couldn't understand Tao Sheng's mysterious move.
At this time, the Buddha spoke: "I will spare no effort to jointly cultivate the Jianmu Sacred Tree. I can agree to it, but Buddhism is the foundation of my great road. I will never agree to give half of it to others."
The Taoist Saint raised his eyelids slightly, and his attitude was very firm: "This matter is not only related to the revival of the Shinto of Mount Tai Shenjun, but also the key to his maintaining the realm of a saint. I also ask the Buddha to agree."
"Besides, the poor Taoist will give the Buddha an opportunity to transcend the realm as compensation for half of the Buddhist sect. If the Buddha refuses to agree to split the Buddhist sect into two, not to mention not getting this opportunity to transcend the realm, even the other half of the Buddhist sect will not be able to get it.
I’m afraid I can’t even hold on.”
Buddha's face was gloomy: "Is Taoist Sage threatening me?"
The Taoist sage shook his head: "What the Buddha said is wrong. The poor Taoist is just telling the truth, and there is no metaphor that threatens the Buddha. If the Buddha had the strength to maintain the foundation of Buddhism, how could he end up like this?"
The Buddha was furious when he heard this, but he accidentally injured his wound and vomited out a mouthful of blood again. The anger in his eyes gradually turned to loss.
Dao Sheng was right, he was just bluffing. If he really had the strength, how could he be bullied by the Dao Palace?
The Taoist sage keenly sensed the change in the Buddha's mentality and put in a word of advice at the right time: "You and I have been pursuing it for countless thousands of years, just for the sake of transcendence? Now there is a bright opportunity in front of us, why are you hesitating?"
The Buddha breathed a long sigh of relief and was filled with emotions. Just as he was about to respond, an ominous premonition suddenly came to his mind.
The Buddha was suddenly startled. Looking at the expressionless Taoist Sage, he couldn't help but secretly thought: "What is the Taoist Sage plotting in secret? Are you trying to lure me into a trap?"
The Buddha thought for a moment and then said: "Buddhism is too important to me, so I have to think about it carefully."
After saying this, the Buddha did not give the Taoist sage a chance to speak, decisively turned around and left, disappearing into the sky, not wanting to stay even for a moment longer.
In one thought, the Buddha flew hundreds of miles before finding a place to settle on a quiet, unknown mountain peak, meditating and recuperating. He went through the recent events in his mind, trying to find some clues to predict where he would go in the future.
Should he refuse to give in and fight to the death with the Taoist palace, or should he give in and sacrifice half of his Buddhism in exchange for the opportunity to transcend?
How to guard against Taoist Saints?
…
The Taoist sage looked at the Buddha leaving in a hurry, neither sad nor happy, with a very calm look on his face and a confident look on his face.
To be honest, Tao Sheng was not worried at all that Buddha would refuse, because he knew that when Buddha thought about it clearly, he would definitely come to him.
For the Saint, the temptation of transcendence is the most terrifying temptation in the world. No one can avoid taking the bait, including Buddha.
Lin Ze looked at the direction where the Buddha left, and there were many question marks in his head again.
First, there was the Taoist sage, who inexplicably did a lot of things like taking off his pants and farting, and then there was the Buddha, who was obviously defeated and lost, but instead of taking the opportunity to gain some benefits and recover from the losses, he was indecisive, which made people confused.
The Taoist palace obviously has the upper hand. Since the Buddhist foundation cannot be regained anyway, why can't it just pretend to agree to it first?
As for whether to sincerely exchange for the opportunity of transcendence, or whether to accept it in vain and wait for it slowly, isn't it just a matter of a thought?
Could it be that the Buddha was sure that the Taoist sage had bad intentions?
With a smile on his face, the Taoist sage spoke warmly to the Lord of Mount Tai and comforted him: "Is the Lord of God seriously ill?"
A smile appeared on the pale face of Mount Tai Shenjun: "Fortunately, the Taoist Saint came to the rescue in time. Although the little god was seriously injured, it is not serious. In time, he will be able to return to normal."
The Taoist sage nodded: "As long as it's not serious, the Buddha is holding his breath in his heart. Although the poor Taoist has repelled him, he will never be willing to fail. Now that the god is in ill health, he is afraid that he is no match for the Buddha, so it is better to follow the poor man.
Are you going back to Dao Palace to recuperate?"
The Lord of Mount Tai thought for a moment and knew the pros and cons, and hurriedly agreed: "The little god thanks the Taoist Saint for his protection and is willing to follow the Taoist Saint back to the Taoist Palace."
The Taoist Saint nodded slightly: "Shenjun, please wait for a moment. The poor Taoist has a few words to tell his two disciples."
Taishan Shenjun replied very wisely: "The little god will go down and wait for the Taoist saint first. When the Taoist saint is finished, just say hello."
After speaking, he took the initiative to fall from the air. When he saw the desolate Da Leiyin Temple, he couldn't help but sigh.
What a pity that such a good foundation and such loyal believers were wasted like this.
Dao Sheng walked up to Lin Ze and said in a casual tone: "Lin Ze, the trick you used to resist the Buddha is good. When, where and who taught it?"
When Lin Ze heard this, he immediately cursed secretly, Lao Yinbi, as expected, he had been here long ago and was hiding aside to watch the show.
With a smile on his face, he replied: "Teacher, that trick you mentioned was an innate magical power that the disciple had learned before when he advanced to the Saint Realm. I just saw the Lord Taishan in danger and used it out of desperation. I didn't expect that it would actually work."
blocked."
"Returning disciples must practice that move hard to make themselves stronger so that they can serve their teacher."
The Taoist Saint responded without comment: "Really? Then you have to practice hard."
"You did a great job cultivating the Jianmu Sacred Tree. Thank you for your hard work."
When Lin Ze heard the first sentence, he couldn't help but feel excited. When he heard the next sentence, he understood what the Taoist meant.
Even if it was to cultivate the Jianmu Sacred Tree, he would not pursue it further.
So Lin Ze replied solemnly: "Teacher, please rest assured, I will never disappoint the teacher's expectations."
The Taoist sage smiled and said nothing more. He walked up to Zhuang Zhou and explained a few words, which were nothing more than words related to the construction of the sacred tree.
After a while, Taoist Saint left with Mount Tai Shenjun.
