The three Maitreya men stood in front of the Buddha with messy cassocks and embarrassed expressions. They bowed and worshiped: "Not only did we fail to show our authority for Buddhism, but we were defeated at the hands of Zhuang Zhou. Please forgive me, World Honored One."
But the Buddha waved his hand and said: "There is no need to talk about the situation. How good is Zhuang Zhou's cultivation, and what is your cultivation. My heart is like a clear mirror, how can I blame you and others?"
"You just need to act according to the plan and gradually wear away Zhuang Zhou's luck. If you can successfully force Lin Ze to take action, it will be a merit but no fault."
Maitreya and the three others responded: "Amitabha, please obey the Buddha's decree."
Buddha turned his attention to the Confucian sage and asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any plans for today?"
The Confucian sage replied calmly: "There are nine people in the third realm of heaven and man here. Now that the Buddhist and Confucian disciples have all entered the field and returned safely, the remaining three naturally have to go."
"Vulcan, Jiang Shang, Di Xin, you three are willing to challenge Zhuang Zhou Linze?"
Nanzhao Fire God stretched out two fingers and said: "Two conditions, one is to ask the saint to give us a life-saving means to ensure that we, like Buddhist and Confucian disciples, can return safely even if we are defeated."
"Secondly, the Buddha previously promised the little god that as long as the little god comes to Yangzhai to help, he will give him 100,000 followers. The little god hopes that the Buddha can give half of it first."
The Buddha replied: "The God of Fire has fulfilled his promise and came to Yangzhai to help. How can I treat you poorly? Maitreya, contact Jin Chanzi and ask him to prepare 100,000 believers to be sent to Nanzhao within three days. There must be no mistakes."
The God of Fire looked happy when he heard this, bowed his hands and said, "The little god thanks the Buddha."
The Buddha thought for a moment: "As for the means of saving lives, Confucian sages and I have taken action before. How about leaving it to the sword master this time?"
The master of the Tongtian Sword shook his head slightly and said: "I have always been good at attacking Taoist magic, rather than magical power spells used to save lives. I am afraid that the Buddha and Confucian saints have to take action."
The Confucian Sage took the initiative to take over this task and said: "Let me do it, Jiang Shang, Di Xin, do you two have any other ideas?"
Jiang Shang responded quickly: "I am willing to follow the arrangements of the Confucian sage."
Emperor Xin glanced at the Tongtian Sword Master and saw his resolute expression, and replied: "I have no objection."
The Confucian sage heard this and shouted: "Close your eyes and relax, don't resist."
Immediately, a three-foot-square word "ren" was divided into three parts and merged into the three people's bodies.
The Confucian sage looked solemn and said: "When you are in danger, this word "benevolence" will form a shield. Only a saint can break this shield."
"You must remember one thing. Once the word benevolence is activated, it must not be contradicted, otherwise the shield will not be formed. Remember this."
The three Vulcans saluted and replied: "Thank you, Confucian Sage, for giving me the means to save my life. We will definitely keep it in our hearts."
The Confucian sage waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
"I'll take my leave."
The three Vulcans stood up straight and walked out of the house.
…
In the Western Qin camp, Zhuang Zhou opened the door curtain and walked into the camp. He said with a proud face: "Junior brother, have you seen that the three Buddhas of Buddhism have joined forces and are under my control? They are nothing more than mere chickens and tile dogs. They can be attacked in a moment."
Repulse damage."
Lin Ze said calmly: "Brother, why should you be so conceited? The saint is watching from the side. Even if senior brother takes advantage for a moment, in the long run, senior brother will ultimately suffer the loss."
"Yunmengze Shuijun has fallen, and there are still nine third-level celestial beings on the opposite side. Senior brother has just repelled two groups of six people. Maybe the third wave is on the way."
Zhuang Zhou pretended to be relaxed and said: "Junior brother, there is no need to worry. With my cultivation level, it will not be a problem to repel not only three waves, but even thirty waves."
"Besides, Senior Brother is not the only one on the Dao Palace side. I have just asked the teacher for help. I think it won't be long before the teacher will bring Hui Shi and others to support me."
Lin Ze smiled and said: "Teacher has his own plans. I advise senior brother not to have too high expectations, so as not to create a gap between you and the teacher."
Zhuang Zhou's expression froze when he heard this, and then he said firmly: "Teacher will definitely help, junior brother, just wait and see."
Just as Lin Ze was about to respond, he heard the voice of the God of Fire coming from outside the camp: "Lin Ze, thief, you used despicable means to harm Yun Mengze Shuijun, the great power of Shinto. I represent the whole of Shinto and I am sworn in with you. If you understand,
Come out quickly and die."
Lin Ze looked at Zhuang Zhou calmly and said in a calm tone: "Senior brother, you see, as I expected, he's here again."
Zhuang Zhou replied in a deep voice: "I'll send them away."
Zhuang Zhou opened the door curtain and was about to walk out when he saw Lin Ze standing in front of him. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Junior brother, what do you mean?"
Lin Ze didn't mince words and said directly: "Junior brother wants to kill another third-level celestial being to scare Xiao Xiao. Since killing one is not enough, let's kill two."
Zhuang Zhou flatly refused and said: "Absolutely not. Killing the Heavenly Beings in the third realm will damage your luck too much. How can Junior Brother do as he pleases? Senior Brother will just drive them away."
Lin Ze looked at Zhuang Zhou quietly, without speaking, but with a decisive aura.
Seeing this, Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but soften his tone: "Junior brother just caused the fall of Yunmengze Shuijun yesterday. It's enough to be famous all over the world, so why do you need to joke about your own life one after another?"
"Junior brother, if you really find these Confucian and Buddhist people in the third realm annoying, you can wait until your luck returns to its peak before killing them."
Lin Ze sighed slightly and said: "It is so difficult to gather luck. Junior brother cannot wait so long. The Buddhist Confucian sage and Tongtian Sword Master cannot allow junior brother to calmly restore luck and bring a devastating blow to Confucian and Buddhist disciples."
Zhuang Zhou took a deep breath and said, "But this is obviously a trap set by Confucian saints and Buddhas. Junior brother, knowing this, will continue to jump down?"
Lin Ze said calmly: "If you chew up the bait and level the trap, you will have no worries."
Zhuang Zhou exhaled a breath: "Junior brother, if you bear with me, everything will be fine when the teacher arrives."
Lin Ze asked back: "Will the teacher really come? The Confucian sage came a few days ago, and the Buddha and the Tongtian Sword Master came yesterday. With the teacher's way, if no one stops him, he can arrive from the Tao Palace in an instant
this."
"Since the teacher didn't come at the beginning, from what I can see, the teacher may not be free to come even if I receive the letter from the senior brother."
Seeing that Zhuang Zhou wanted to persuade him again, Lin Ze chuckled and said, "Junior brother has made up his mind to take action. Even if he has attained the highest level of cultivation, he still can't stop me."
Zhuang Zhou was extremely serious and said word by word: "Teacher will never sit back and watch junior brother be in danger. Junior brother, please trust the teacher."
Lin Ze's expression changed. Just as he was about to speak, a noise came from the camp: "It's on fire, it's on fire."
Lin Ze's face flashed with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Nanzhao Fire God, you are seeking death."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person disappeared at the entrance of the camp, rushing out of the camp with a terrifying force.
At this moment, outside the camp, the God of Fire was covered in blazing flames, and the terrifying heat overflowed from his body. Inside the Western Qin camp, the barracks made of dry wood spontaneously ignited without wind.
