The Confucian sage echoed: "What Master Li said is absolutely true. The most urgent task now is to eliminate the variables as soon as possible. As for the reward, we can discuss it after the Qin is destroyed."
The Buddha clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, how good it is, how good it is."
The Taoist Saint's eyes passed over the third level of the heavenly beings under the three sects, and he said in a deep voice: "The 450,000-strong army is attacking Qin in three directions. It's not a problem to come to Chang'an."
"After the army arrives in Chang'an, which of you will deal with Qin Huangzheng?"
As soon as Tao Sheng said these words, all the gods and humans in the third realm showed eagerness to try.
Buddhist Ksitigarbha was the first to respond: "Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? The young monk is willing to shoulder the heavy responsibility of dealing with the Qin emperor's government. Even if his body dies and his Tao disappears, he will have no regrets."
Confucian Yan Hui chuckled lightly and said: "Master Ksitigarbha's demeanor of self-sacrifice for others, I admire him endlessly. However, we, the Confucianists, uphold benevolence and righteousness, and we will definitely not let Master Ksitigarbha fall into danger alone. Confucianists are willing to fight for Master Ksitigarbha."
"Master Ksitigarbha, please rest assured. I, the four Confucian third-level heavenly beings, will definitely be able to test out the depth of Qin Huang's politics and ensure that Master will succeed in one fell swoop."
Meng Ke, who was on the side, echoed with a smile on his face: "Junior Brother Yan's words are truly passed down by the teacher. To deal with the Qin Emperor's political affairs, Confucianism has no shirking responsibility."
The Buddhist Ksitigarbha declared the name of the Buddha: "Amitabha, don't bother the two masters. If the humble monk is incompetent and cannot deal with the Qin emperor's government, the Buddhist Buddhas will take action on their own, so there is no need to trouble the Confucian sages."
The Buddhist Maitreya Buddha, the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lights, and Guanshiyin said in unison: "Amitabha, Buddhism aims to save all sentient beings, and it is our duty to eradicate the exceptions. I also ask all the Confucian sages to do this."
Lin Ze, who was standing behind the Taoist Saint, saw this scene and looked puzzled. He rubbed Zhuang Zhou with his arm and asked in a low voice: "Brother, didn't the teacher say that Emperor Qin has a destiny and is not easy to deal with? Why did the Buddhist Confucianism
Are you rushing to take action?"
"Besides, we must use the power of heaven to deal with heavenly beings. They are both in the third realm of heavenly beings. Although some Buddhist and Confucian masters have traveled further, they will probably lose a lot of money after a fierce battle."
"Could it be that the Buddhist Confucianists are really willing to sacrifice their lives for all sentient beings, as they say, and that's why they took the initiative to do this?"
Zhuang Zhou looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he replied in a low voice: "Junior brother's question reminds him that dealing with Emperor Qin is not only a disaster, but also an opportunity."
"Brother, I remember that my teacher accidentally mentioned that people with destiny can often turn bad luck into good fortune and turn danger into safety. However, human energy is limited after all, and this feeling can only be temporary, not permanent."
"If the destiny person's energy is exhausted, he may fall into the hands of others. If someone successfully kills the destiny person, there is a high probability that he will be favored by heaven."
Lin Ze suddenly realized: "That's it."
Zhuang Zhou shook his head: "Not only that, the teacher also mentioned that there are often anomalies in the world that go against the will of heaven. If someone eliminates the anomalies, they can also receive heavenly rewards."
"After careful study, Emperor Qin completely conforms to the two situations mentioned by the teacher. It seems that the drunkard in Buddhism and Confucianism does not care about drinking."
Lin Ze's face showed a look of sigh: "Junior brother, I still believe in the true nature of Buddhism and Confucianism, but I didn't expect that it would be unprofitable."
"Brother, didn't you say before that heaven's favor and rewards are most beneficial to those in the first and second realms of heaven and man? Junior brother, I see that those vying for this opportunity are all in the third realm of heaven and man."
Zhuang Zhou looked melancholy and sighed slightly: "The reward for eradicating the anomalies is a bit special. For some people, it is infinitely better than the so-called favor of heaven. It is precisely because they are the first among heavenly beings.
Only in the Three Realms will they fight overtly and covertly regardless of face."
Lin Ze asked: "Senior brother, can you explain to me clearly why this is?"
Zhuang Zhou looked forward and said slowly: "Usually, if the anomalies are eradicated, Heaven will reward those who eradicate them with higher-level opportunities."
"Qin Huangzheng just happened to break through to the third realm. If someone can eradicate him, it is very likely that he will get the opportunity to enter the fourth realm of heaven and man. Why don't you let them fight for the third realm of heaven and man?"
"Anyone who has been stagnant in the third realm of heaven and human beings for thousands of years, how can he not want to go further and see the scenery higher and farther?"
Lin Ze pondered for a moment and continued to ask: "Senior brother, why don't you fight?"
Zhuang Zhou smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, the teacher has his own arrangements."
As soon as Zhuang Zhou finished his words, he saw Taoist Sage, who was looking at the endless debate among Buddhists and Confucianists, frowning slightly and said: "Silence, an opportunity is indeed rare and valuable, but your behavior is harmful to harmony."
"If this continues, let alone join forces to deal with Qin Huangzheng, I'm afraid the Buddhists and Confucians will have to fight first, which will make people laugh."
The two Buddhas, Confucians and Sages, who had closed their eyes to rest and pretended not to hear the quarrel between the two parties, turned around and glanced at their disciples almost at the same time.
For a time, no one on either side expressed "righteousness" and said that they would take action against Emperor Qin.
The Confucian sage said: "Who among the disciples of the third realm of the Three Religions wouldn't want this rare opportunity? However, there is only one opportunity, and no less than ten people want it. The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of flesh. I wonder if Master Li has any good suggestions?
"
The Taoist Saint said without thinking: "Logically speaking, everyone has a share in this opportunity. But opportunities cannot be separated. For the sake of fairness, let's draw lots."
"There are ten disciples of the third realm of Heavenly Beings from the three religions present. The order of participating in Qin Huangzheng will be determined by drawing lots, with number one first and number ten at the end."
"If they appear in order in this way, if No. 1 is strong and can take down Qin Huangzheng in one fell swoop, the opportunity will naturally belong to No. 1."
"If No. 1 is not strong enough, No. 2 will have a chance to play, and so on until No. 10. Luck is also a part of strength. Only those with strong strength and great luck will have a chance to win this opportunity."
The Taoist Saint's gaze passed over everyone's faces, and he said loudly: "Do you have any objections?"
The Buddhists and Confucians looked at each other, knowing that there would be no result if the argument continued, so they all responded: "As the Taoist Sage said, the decision will be made by drawing lots."
Lin Ze hurriedly shouted outside the palace: "Come here, bring us the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
After a while, the Taoist Saint personally wrote ten lots, mixed them together, and used the formation as a prison to isolate the perception of others.
Then the Taoist Saint's gesture changed, and the original formation suddenly changed from one to ten.
The Taoist Saint pushed the ten small formations to the center of the three parties and said solemnly: "There is a lottery in each small formation. Which one is the one you grab? Which one of you will come first?"
As soon as he finished speaking, ten hands came out almost at the same time, holding a small formation together with the lottery inside.
Xun Kuang looked happy and said, "I've just drawn number one, let's see Xiaosheng explore the way for you."
Zhuang Zhou lowered his head and glanced at the lot in his hand, and saw "ten" clearly written on it.
The Taoist Saint wrote down the lots drawn by everyone, and said slowly: "The order has been decided, and it will be carried out accordingly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a deep voice fell from the sky: "Brother Dao, wait a minute."
