As soon as the Buddha said this, the expressions of both the Confucian sage and the Tongtian Sword Master changed.
The Tongtian Sword Doctrine puts it rightly: "Dongting Shuijun is knowledgeable and talented, but he is a poor man and a close friend. How can he be casually sacrificed in a poisonous scheme?"
The Buddha retorted and said sarcastically: "Sword Master, could you have forgotten that you came up with this poisonous plan? Don't you think it's ridiculous that you are here again and are pretentious and pretentious?"
The master of the Tongtian Sword looked calm and said: "What the Buddha said is wrong. A sharp sword kills people. It is the murderer who is guilty, not the one who forges the sword. The poor man is just the one who forges the sword at best."
Buddha sneered again and again, ignored the Tongtian Sword Master, turned to look at the Confucian sage and asked: "What do the Confucian sages think?"
The Confucian sage looked confused: "Forgive me for not agreeing with the Buddha's suggestion. Although the Soldier Sage Jiang Shang is working for the Confucianists, he is actually an ally of the Confucianists, not a lackey. In Confucianism, it is difficult to betray an ally."
"Besides, the third realm of heaven and man is not a puppet. How can we be willing to die as you and I wish?"
The Buddha was stunned for a moment. His eyes wandered back and forth between the Confucian Sage and the Tongtian Sword Master for a long time. He smiled, clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha, I take my leave."
"From now on, Daleiyin Temple will be closed for a thousand years and will no longer set foot in the mortal world. I will no longer participate in the battle of transcending chance. I wish you both good luck."
After saying that, regardless of the changes in the faces of the two Confucian sages, they left in a cloud.
Just thinking about getting benefits without paying any price, is there really such a good thing in the world?
When the Buddha's figure was about to disappear in the sky, four sword lights came first and blocked the Buddha's way forward.
The Buddha said in a calm tone: "Why is the sword master blocking me?"
The Master of Tongtian Sword pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Didn't we agree to join forces to deal with the Dao Palace? Why should the Buddha leave in a hurry?"
The Buddha said indifferently: "The Taoist sect has a saying. Different Taoisms do not work together. I am heartless and unjust and betray my allies. However, the sword master and the Confucian sage are noble and upright by nature. I consider myself unworthy of being two allies. The matter of the alliance is over.
"
The Confucian sage who arrived at the right time smiled bitterly after hearing this and said, "Why did the Buddha say this? Even if this plan fails, there will be other plans. Why do you need to be so pretentious?"
"Other strategies?"
The Buddha snorted softly: "What the Confucian sage said sounds good, but apart from the four strategies mentioned by the sword master, how can there be any other strategies?"
The Confucian sage calmly replied: "Order Chu, Han, and South Vietnam to unite into one and work together to defeat the Western Qin. If the Western Qin falls, Lin Ze will lose his destiny."
Buddha sneered and said: "That's easy to say. Have Confucian sages ever thought about how long it will take for the three kingdoms to unite into one? One and a half years is enough?"
"Will Dao Sheng and Lin Ze sit back and ignore it? No, Lin Ze is currently leading an army to conquer the Han Dynasty in the name of the Lord of Western Qin, which is clear evidence."
"Lin Ze is almost invincible, and the Three Kingdoms are hard to resist. If we don't find ways to stop him, after a year and a half, not to mention the unification of the Three Kingdoms, I am afraid that the world will have already been owned by the Western Qin."
"Does the Confucian Sage intend to deceive himself and others and wait for the situation to deteriorate beyond control? Or does the Confucian Sage intend to sacrifice himself and die together with Lin Ze to restore the situation for me and the sword master?"
The Confucian sage sighed and said: "Who would have thought that Lin Ze would advance to the third realm of heaven and man through trickery, so that we would be so passive."
The Buddha shook his head and said: "I don't want to talk too much about the established facts with the Confucian sage. If the Confucian sage cannot make up his mind, then give up as soon as possible to avoid offending the Taoist sage repeatedly, and then he will be settled later after he transcends, and suffer humiliation for nothing."
After saying this, the Buddha shook his figure and tried to bypass the Master of Tongtian Sword and return to the Great Leiyin Temple in southern Xinjiang.
The Master of Tongtian Sword quickly said: "Buddha, please wait, I am willing to cooperate with you in this strategy."
The Buddha asked back: "Isn't Dongting Shuijun a close friend of the sword master?"
The master of the Tongtian Sword looked calm and said: "Pin Dao suddenly remembered that the road to Shinto was dead. Reincarnation as a human might be a relief for Dongting Shuijun. As a close friend, Ping Dao should think about him."
The Buddha did not laugh at the capriciousness of the Tongtian Sword Master, but said with a serious face: "The Nanzhao Fire God and the Dongting Shuijun are only two heavenly beings in the third realm. With Lin Ze's majestic luck, he can withstand this backlash.
It’s not a big problem, why do you need to do something in vain?”
The Master of the Tongtian Sword shifted his gaze from the Buddha to the Confucian Sage: "Whether we fight or not, let the Confucian Sage express his attitude."
The Confucian sage was silent for a long time, then he sighed and said: "How can we not be tempted by transcending opportunities? I am afraid that Confucianism will not be able to deal with the military sage."
The master of the Tongtian Sword advised: "Confucian saints don't have to feel guilty. I heard that Jiang Shang was promoted to the third realm of heaven and man by luck in the past. His foundation is unstable and he will never be able to reach the saint realm in his life."
"Instead of facing the despair of having no future, it is better to reincarnate and rebuild. If Jiang Shang is reincarnated because of this, even if it is to resolve the cause and effect, the Confucian sage will look for his reincarnation and help him."
"Under the orders of the Confucian sage Erti, it was easy for Jiang Shang to enter Taoism again. For Jiang Shang, this is not necessarily a bad thing."
The Confucian sage just smiled bitterly and remained silent.
When the Buddha saw this, he looked solemn and said: "This matter cannot be repeated, but you two have already made up your mind?"
The Master of Tongtian Sword replied: "It's a matter of transcendent opportunity. Will we still resort to fraud?"
The Confucian sage said calmly: "I have a plan that can not only dispel Buddha's doubts, but also make the plan more seamless."
The Master of Tongtian Sword quickly asked: "What clever ideas does the Confucian sage have? Just tell me."
Confucian Sage: "I have mentioned before that in the third realm, gods and humans are not puppets, and they may not be willing to die, so we have to create the illusion of accidents."
"If only Jiang Shang and the others are allowed to deal with Lin Ze, they will definitely become suspicious. Even if they are not suspicious, once someone dies, the remaining two will definitely run away and not dare to go against Lin Ze again."
"That's why I propose to send all the third level celestial beings to deal with Lin Ze, confuse the public and secretly design the death of three people in Lin Ze's hands, and achieve the goal quietly."
"In addition to the three people, there are Confucian Meng Ke, Yan Hui, Xun Kuang, Buddhist Ksitigarbha, Maitreya, Guanyin, plus the reincarnation of God Xin, making up ten people."
"If you want to use this strategy, you must also consider that Lin Ze is deeply blessed and has far better luck than others. When there are not enough three people, we will choose from the other seven people until the success is complete."
"What do you two think?"
The Buddha coughed softly and said: "This plan of the Confucian Sage is very good. Thanks to the sword master, only Ksitigarbha has recovered to the third level of heaven and human cultivation. The other two have no hope of recovery in a short time."
The Master of Tongtian Sword also continued: "Di Xin's reincarnated body cannot reach the second realm of heaven and human beings. Thanks to the Buddha, his memory is confused and his personality has changed drastically. He will not be able to advance to the third realm of heaven and human beings in a short time."
The Confucian sage didn't even look at the two of them and said to himself: "You two will find a solution."
The Buddha and the Tongtian Sword Master looked at each other with confusion on their faces: "That..."
The Confucian sage interrupted and repeated: "You two will find a solution."
The Buddha thought for a while and said: "Seven days, after seven days, I will take the three heavenly beings from Buddhism to the third realm and the Nanzhao Fire God to join you two."
The Tongtian Sword Master could only grit his teeth and said: "In the same seven days, Pindao will bring Dongting Shuijun and Di Xin to meet up."
The Confucian sage smiled calmly and said: "Three Confucian celestial beings in the third realm, as well as Jiang Shang, are waiting for you in Yangzhai City."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Confucian sage seemed to feel something. He looked in the distance towards Yangzhai City, his face changed slightly and said: "The luck of the Han Dynasty and the luck of Confucianism were damaged at the same time. Lin Ze took the opportunity to attack Yangzhai."
"There are hundreds of thousands of Han troops in Yangzhai City. There is no room for failure. Take the first step."
Without waiting for the Buddha and the Tongtian Sword Master to respond, the Confucian Sage turned into a mighty river of righteousness and rushed towards Yangzhai City.
