Looking at Zhuang Zhou, who exuded the aura of a saint, the Buddha lost consciousness for a while, then returned to normal, and said in an extremely confirming tone: "I dare to conclude that it will not take more than one year for you to advance to the saint realm."
"If a Taoist saint wants to transcend, it is absolutely impossible to sit back and watch another saint appear in the Taoist palace and compete with him for luck. If you are outside the sky and watched by a Taoist saint, you will have no chance to advance, so you are a saint who came from outside the sky and was promoted.
territory."
"Zhuang Zhou, Zhuang Zhou, I have to take a high look at you. It has only been a short time since you came from the sky, and you have found an opportunity to get rid of the Taoist Sage's control, successfully jumped out of the game, and turned from a chess piece into a chess player."
Zhuang Zhou looked very calm. Faced with the Buddha's speculation, he neither admitted nor refuted it, but said: "Please give way, Buddha. I want to take my junior brother back to Chang'an."
Seeing that Zhuang Zhou was so ignorant, the Buddha's face darkened and he said angrily: "Zhuang Zhou, you are just entering the realm of a saint for the first time, how dare you ignore me like this?"
Zhuang Zhou didn't take it seriously and said: "In the final analysis, does the Buddha want to have a discussion with the poor Taoist, or does he want to delay the time and wait for the Confucian sage and Master Tongtian to come?"
Without waiting for the Buddha's response, Zhuang Zhou continued: "Forget it, no matter what you think, it seems that it is inevitable to take action today. I will repel you first and then leave. It is not unacceptable for a poor Taoist."
As soon as Zhuang Zhou finished speaking, little stars emerged from his body, gradually infecting the Buddhist kingdom.
"What a loud tone."
The Buddha laughed angrily, and countless Buddha palms emerged from his body and struck Zhuang Zhou from all directions.
The secret skill of Buddhism, Thousand-Armed Tathagata.
The impact of the Buddha's palm caused chaos in the stars, but it failed to hurt Zhuang Zhou, as if it was struck in the void.
Not only that, the Buddha gradually faded under the influence of starlight, as if he was about to disappear.
"Some tricks."
The Buddha praised, but did not stop moving his hands. A very evil red Buddha light shot out from his body, shining on the starlight and Zhuang Zhou who was surrounded by starlight.
The starlight that was originally weak and swallowed up the attack like a black hole actually showed some signs of melting under the red Buddha light.
To be precise, starlight and Buddha light are melting into each other.
Zhuang Zhou frowned slightly when he saw this: "The refined power of faith? It is said that Buddha once practiced Shinto, but later abandoned his cultivation, and was able to create Buddhism and enter the realm of saints."
"Now it seems that the rumors are somewhat true, but the method used by Buddha does not look like the right way, but seems to be evil."
The Buddha could not deny it: "There is no right or wrong in the Tao, only good or evil can be found in people. As a saint, can't you even understand this?"
When Zhuang Zhou heard this, he replied with a look of approval: "What the Buddha said is absolutely true. It's just a poor Taoist who is obsessed with appearance."
The Buddha looked slightly interested and said: "Zhuang Zhou, your starlight corresponds to the avenue of emptiness, and the power of faith is to turn emptiness into reality. If you only have this ability, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass this test."
Zhuang Zhou smiled and said, "Really? Please wait and see, Buddha."
The stars gathered together in an instant and turned into a crystal clear butterfly.
The crystal butterfly flapped its wings lightly, driving away the red Buddha's light from Zhuang Zhou's side.
The next moment, Zhuang Zhou started running towards the Buddha. As he ran, golden feathers came out from all parts of his body.
When he got close to the Buddha, Zhuang Zhou had transformed into a bird, a golden-winged roc. His sharp claws were grabbing at the Buddha's head and eyes at a very tricky angle.
Buddha looked at Zhuang Zhou's behavior and couldn't help but feel a little funny. The sage was fighting, but Zhuang Zhou made him fight like a rogue.
With this idea in mind, Buddha turned his palms and tried to swat the golden-winged roc away.
With a "stab" sound, the Golden-winged Dapeng not only was not struck by the Buddha's palm, but instead made a cut on the back of the Buddha's hand.
This wound was so tiny that even an ordinary person wouldn't blink an eye when encountering such a wound. However, when Buddha looked at the wound, his expression became extremely gloomy.
Because this wound cannot be healed by the power of heaven.
A cold light flashed across the Buddha's eyes, a ray of green light appeared in his left hand, and when he touched the back of his right hand, the wound disappeared immediately.
"A direct attack on the great road, Zhuang Zhou, I am delighted with your performance. Now I am going to make a serious attack."
After the Buddha said this with a solemn expression, his body instantly rose ten thousand feet and transformed into a giant Buddha. At the same time, the Buddha's light filled the Buddha's interior, giving people a sense of suffocation.
Zhuang Zhou, who transformed into a golden-winged roc, shook his head slightly and said: "My poor Taoist brother is seriously injured and needs to be treated. It is not a good time to discuss Taoism. I will ask Buddha for advice when I have time later. I will not accompany you today."
Buddha sneered, and the Buddha's hand fell from the sky, covering the area where Zhuang Zhou was: "Are you leaving?"
The golden-winged roc avoided the Buddha's attack, stretched out its head and pecked in the air, opening a hole in the Buddha's kingdom. Then it got out along the hole and disappeared in front of the Buddha.
When Buddha saw this, he was stunned for a moment, then became furious: "Zhuang Zhou, you bastard."
After saying this, the giant Buddha shrank sharply and chased Zhuang Zhou in the direction he left.
At the same time as the pursuit, Buddha did not forget to pass on the message to the Confucian Sage and the Tongtian Sword Master, and said to the void: "Zhuang Zhou was promoted to the saint realm and was taking Lin Ze to escape to Kunlun. I was unable to stop him. Lin Ze's destiny has not yet been completely fulfilled."
Cut off, come and help quickly."
I saw the words spoken by the Buddha condensed into real characters in the air, and disappeared into the void.
In the blink of an eye, this physical character appeared outside the Kunlun Mountains, in front of the eyes of the Confucian Sage and the Tongtian Sword Master.
Buddha took action to intercept Zhuang Zhou. The reason why the Confucian sage and Tongtian Sword Master did not follow him was because they were sure that Buddha could capture Zhuang Zhou.
The two came to the outside of Kunlun Mountain mainly to prevent the Taoist Saint from intervening.
The Confucian sage and the Tongtian Sword Master looked at each other and were stunned. Are you kidding? Zhuang Zhou was promoted to the saint realm? How could such a ridiculous thing happen? Did the Buddha make a mistake or was deceived by Zhuang Zhou?
When the Confucian sage and Tongtian Sword Master were still hesitating, another paragraph of text appeared:
"Zhuang Zhou took Lin Ze to Chang'an, but something happened later. If the Taoist sage shows no sign of taking action yet, come to Chang'an quickly. Zhuang Zhou is very evil, and I can't do anything to him."
When the second paragraph of text appeared, the Confucian sage and the Tongtian Sword Master realized that something had really happened, rather than the Buddha being deceived.
After all, Buddha himself admitted that there was nothing he could do about Zhuang Zhou. If Zhuang Zhou had not broken through to the saint realm, how could he force Buddha into this situation?
The two of them glanced at Dao Palace, which showed no movement at all, and turned around to go to Chang'an in perfect agreement.
In addition to Dao Sage, the Dao Palace also has an old cow who is comparable to a saint. One person alone cannot trap Dao Sage in the Dao Palace.
Rather than leaving one person behind and working in vain, it is better to leave together and solve the problem perfectly in the shortest possible time.
Not long after the two left, the Taoist saint's figure slowly emerged in the air, followed by a green bull.
The Taoist Saint didn't make any extra moves, he just looked at the direction the two left and remained silent.
"Moo~"
The green bull suddenly made a rapid bark, seeming to express its dissatisfaction.
The Taoist Saint looked forward and said calmly: "You idiot, do you want me to take action?"
"Moo"
The green bull barked twice again.
Dao Sheng shook his head and said: "No, this is Lin Ze's choice. Even if I am his teacher, I will not interfere too much."
"Moo moo"
Qing Niu was very dissatisfied and barked three times.
The Taoist Saint glanced at it, turned around and walked towards the Taoist Palace, jokingly saying: "If you are not afraid of being killed, you can go, but I won't go anyway."
The green bull stamped its hooves and followed closely behind.
…
Chang'an, the former Xianyang Palace, today the Tomb of Emperor Qin.
Zhuang Zhou looked at Lin Ze who was sitting cross-legged in front of the tomb with some confusion: "Why would junior brother rather come here to wait for death than go back to the Dao Palace to ask the teacher for help?"
Lin Ze rolled his eyes and said: "Senior brother, don't think that you can talk nonsense just because you have been promoted to the saint realm. Who said that I must wait to die when I come here?"
Zhuang Zhou was slightly dissatisfied and said: "I have just entered the realm of saints for the first time, but I can't stop the three saints from joining forces to attack. If you wait here for the three saints to attack, aren't you just waiting to die?"
"Speaking of which, why did Buddha suddenly stop chasing after him outside the city? He didn't even take action from a distance."
Lin Ze leaned against Emperor Qin's tomb and replied with a smile: "Probably because he was tricked by Emperor Qin once before, so he didn't dare to take action easily."
