The more Zhong Yu listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and he quickly asked: "May I ask Buddha, what is going on with the joint attack on Chu? I don't seem to know anything about it?"
Buddha remained indifferent, and Xuantang answered from the side: "Confucianism and Buddhism have concluded an alliance, and Buddhism is preparing to conquer Chu. As an ally, shouldn't Confucianism help?"
Zhong You was startled when he heard this: "But..."
As soon as the words came out, Xuantang interrupted: "Sage Zhong You just said that Confucianism and Buddhism would join forces to deal with Taoism, but when Buddhism needs Confucian help, it hesitates. Is the sincerity shown by Confucianism so unbearable?"
Zhong You smiled bitterly and said: "Master Xuantang has misunderstood. That's not what I meant. It's just such a big thing as sending troops to conquer. You should first consult with the Confucian sage, my master, and discuss the details before implementing it."
"Now my master, the Confucian sage, has no idea about this matter. If I am blamed, how can I bear the responsibility?"
The Buddha said indifferently: "The Confucian sage sent you to conclude an alliance, but he didn't give you any decision-making power? How can you make me believe that the Confucians are sincerely forming an alliance?"
"If something big happens, will the Confucian sage say you can't make the decision and completely reject the covenant?"
"With such an alliance, is it necessary for me to conclude with Confucianism? Is it possible that only Confucianism is allowed to take advantage, while Buddhism suffers?"
Zhong You smiled awkwardly and said: "Confucianism never meant this. Buddha must not misunderstand, lest it hurt the friendship between Confucianism and Buddhism."
Buddha said indifferently: "Really?"
Zhong You said with a slightly more serious look on his face: "Of course, if Buddha doesn't believe it, he can communicate with my master, the Confucian sage, face to face."
Xuantang said with an angry look on his face: "Confucianism seeks an alliance with Buddhism, but wants the World Honored One to go to Confucian sages. How is this unreasonable?"
Zhong You hurriedly explained: "Master Xuantang, please don't misunderstand me. What he is saying is that I can serve as a mediator to allow my master, the Confucian saint, to communicate face to face with the Buddha."
After finishing speaking, Zhong You took out a piece of letter from his arms and typed it in with a strong and upright attitude as if he didn't need any money.
I saw the letter burst out with a fierce and dazzling white light, which penetrated the sky and I don't know where it connected.
After ten breaths, the white light gradually turned from dazzling to soft, turning into a majestic figure whose appearance looked like the projection of a Confucian sage.
The projection of the Confucian sage opened his mouth and said: "The way of heaven is backlashing, so it is inconvenient to visit at home. I hope the Buddha will not take offense at the indifference."
The Buddha seemed to be smiling but not smiling and said: "The Confucian sage's words are serious. I am not a stingy person, so we can just talk to each other in the distance."
The Confucian sage projected: "This is very good. I wonder what the Buddha thinks of the Confucian-Buddhist alliance?"
The Buddha nodded slightly and said, "I fully agree with this matter."
The Confucian Sage Projection immediately turned around and looked at Zhong You with cold eyes: "Didn't my master tell you that the Buddha would come back and report immediately if he agreed to the alliance? If the Buddha didn't agree, would he contact the master again? What's going on?" Computer terminal

Zhong Yu quickly bowed and said: "Reporting to the teacher, it's not that the disciple insists on troublesome teacher, but that the Buddha has other requests and the disciple has no right to agree. I beg the teacher to make a decision."
The Confucian sage's face softened a little, turned to the Buddha, and asked in a deep voice: "I wonder what the Buddha's request is?"
Buddha said indifferently: "Nothing else, it's just that Buddhism plans to conquer Chu recently, and hopes that its allies, Confucianism, can fully cooperate?"
The Confucian sage asked in confusion: "Chu State?"
"It is the secular dynasty established by the reincarnation of Emperor Xin, and the supporter behind it is the Master of Tongtian Sword."
The Confucian sage said in surprise: "Why did Buddha take the initiative to provoke that killer? Can't we put aside the grudges that happened thousands of years ago?"
The Buddha said slightly sullenly: "It's not that I want to provoke that murderer, but that he has to fight against me. Taking advantage of the backlash of my heavenly law, I dare to attack the Great Leiyin Temple. If I don't avenge this revenge, it will be difficult for me.
Thoughts are clear."
"How virtuous and capable is Tongtian, who dares to spy on the supreme way? Why not let me stop his thoughts as soon as possible and take away his luck."
The Confucian Sage Projection frowned slightly and said: "Having said that, the biggest opponent of Buddhism and Confucianism at present is the Kunlun Taoist Palace. To offend the Master of Tongtian Sword rashly seems to be a bit outweighed by the gain."
"Wouldn't it be better to conserve our strength, work together to deal with the Dao Palace, wait until the mutual offensive and defensive momentum is reversed, and then destroy the Chu State supported by the Master of the Tongtian Sword?"
Buddha immediately cast his gaze on Xuantang: "Jin Chanzi, come and explain to the Confucian sage."
Xuantang bowed and said, "Disciple, I obey."
Xuantang then bowed to the projection of the Confucian sage and said: "What the Confucian sage said is wrong. The secular dynasty supported by the Kunlun Taoist Palace is far more powerful than you and me. If we compete with it, we will definitely be at a disadvantage."
"The land east of the Yangtze River is fertile, rich in products, and has a large population. However, the Chu State is newly established, the people are not attached to it, and the national destiny is unstable. It is the best time to destroy it in one fell swoop and divide its land and population."
"When Confucianism and Buddhism completely digest the fat piece of Jiangdong, their strength will definitely increase greatly. Only then will they have the confidence to fight against the Dao Palace."
Buddha glanced at Xuantang with great admiration. This second disciple did not disappoint him. His remarks were reasonable and reasonable, and it was impossible to find any fault with him.
The Confucian sage asked: "Isn't Buddhism afraid of a mantis stalking the Taoist palace? When the Buddhist Confucianists were exhausted from fighting with the Biyou Palace, they united with the Biyou Palace to destroy the secular world supported by the Buddhist Confucians.
dynasty?"
Xuantang replied calmly: "It is indeed possible that the Confucian sages mentioned this, but since the Buddhist Confucians know this, how can they not take strict precautions and allow the Taoist palace to take advantage of it?"
"Buddhists and Confucianists can send troops to the border to draw reinforcements, and they can definitely make the Taoist palace use rat weapons to avoid attacking."
The Confucian Sage Projection shook his head slightly and said: "Although that is true, the risk is too great and it should not be taken."
Buddha suddenly said: "Confucian sage, your worries are unnecessary. Others don't know the true relationship between Kunlun Dao Palace and Biyou Palace. Don't you and I still know it?"
"Although Kunlun Taoist Palace and Biyou Palace belong to the same Taoist sect, they broke up ten thousand years ago, and the Tongtian Sword Master still can't let go of it. How difficult is it for the two sides to join forces?"
"Now that it is clear that the Dao Palace is dominating, we may not be able to suppress it just by joining forces with you and me without other means."
"Now you and I have not yet eliminated the backlash of Heaven's Dao, and our disciples in the third level have suffered heavy losses. On the contrary, the strength of Dao Palace Zhuang Zhou Hui Shi and others are still there. Before you and I can't take action, no one from the Buddhist and Confucian families can compete with them."
"Looking at the Biyou Palace, there are also no third-level heavenly disciples in charge. This is the best time for Buddhism and Confucianism to unite to completely clear out the Biyou Palace. If God doesn't take it, he will be blamed for it, so why should the Confucian saints have to do it?
Undecided?"
Confucian Sage Projection suddenly said: "There are some things that I would like to discuss in depth with the Buddha in private. I wonder if it would be convenient for the Buddha?"
Buddha responded: "Of course it is convenient. Confucian sages please do it yourself."
The Confucian sage turned to Zhongyou and ordered: "Zhongyou, please go out first. I have something to talk to the Buddha in private."
The Buddha hesitated for a moment and said: "Jin Chanzi, go outside and wait for a while. I will come back to you after I finish talking with the Confucian sage."
Xuantang and Zhong You bowed and bowed, then slowly exited the Main Hall.
Then the door of the Main Hall slowly closed, and no more noise was heard.
Half an hour later, the door opened again, and the Confucian sage projected: "Zhong Yuan, I ordered you to return to Qi quickly, and be ready to cooperate with Buddhism to attack Chu at any time."
The Buddha said calmly: "Jin Chanzi, you are entirely responsible for the South Vietnamese expedition to Chu. Don't let me down."
