Lin Ze looked suspicious and said, "Is there such a magical treasure in the world?"
Hearing that Lin Ze didn't believe it, Xuantang was surprised and said: "Hasn't King Qin heard of this treasure? The Buddhist Eight Treasures Merit Pool, the Confucian Analects of Confucius, and the Taoist Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda are also called the three greatest treasures."
"These three great treasures all have the means to gather luck. The raw material used by the Eight Treasures Merit Pool to transform Qi is the power of faith, the Analects of Confucius uses awe-inspiring righteousness, and the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth uses merit."
"It is rumored that the three great treasures are the natal magic treasures that Taoist, Buddha and Confucian saints rely on to become saints. If King Qin obtains the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, he may not be able to use it to advance to the realm of saints in the future."
Lin Ze turned to look at Zhuang Zhou, cupped his hands and said, "May I ask, senior brother, if what Xuantang said is true?"
Zhuang Zhou nodded slightly and said: "It's true. This is not a secret to the disciples of the three religions. It's just that teachers, Confucian saints, and Buddha have not used these three treasures in these years, so they have never mentioned this matter in front of their junior disciples before.
.”
Lin Ze looked at Xuantang with a half-smile: "Are you willing to give it to me such a precious treasure?"
Xuantang said righteously: "As the saying goes, if you give up, you will gain. Since the poor monk wants to use the power of the Taoist Palace to control Buddhism, he must pay a corresponding price."
"The poor monk thought about it, and there is nothing more sincere than giving the Eight Treasures Merit Pool to the King of Qin."
Zhuang Zhou intervened at the right moment and said: "As far as I know, the three great treasures have always been kept by the three sages personally. It is difficult for outsiders to even see them even once, let alone knowing where they are. How can you guarantee that you will get the Eight Treasures Merit Pool?"
?”
Xuantang said calmly: "Sheng Zhuang doesn't know that these three treasures are the treasures of the three religions. Although the three holy places came into being due to the circumstances, they are not completely owned by the three saints."
"If in the past, Buddha, with the dignity of a saint and the master of Buddhism, controlled the eight-treasure pool of merit, no one could take this treasure away from him."
"Now that the Buddha has lost his holy throne, if Buddhism is stolen by the poor monk again, there will inevitably be changes in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool. At that time, the poor monk will be qualified to compete with the Buddha for control of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool."
"I dare to ask Zhuang Sheng, with you watching from the side, the Buddha who has lost his holy throne dares to compete with the poor monks for this treasure that suppresses the religion?"
Zhuang Zhou thought for a moment and said in an uncertain tone: "Theoretically, it seems possible."
Xuantang looked happy when he heard this and said, "How about it? Are you two willing to cooperate with the poor monk?"
Lin Ze smiled and said: "Master, don't be impatient. This matter is of great importance and must be considered in the long run."
Xuantang said in confusion: "The poor monk thinks he has explained the whole matter clearly, what else does King Qin want to do?"
Lin Ze said calmly: "I want to confirm something with the Master. As the Master said, there seems to be no need to abolish Maitreya Ksitigarbha in the Dao Palace. It can be permanently imprisoned."
"In addition, is the Master confident that he can suppress other heavenly beings in Buddhism, successfully steal the Buddhist orthodoxy, and change the Buddhist philosophy beyond recognition?"
Xuantang said flatly: "No, Maitreya Ksitigarbha must die. If they don't die, it will be difficult for the poor monk to occupy the magpie's nest and become the master of Buddhism."
"Furthermore, even if the poor monk overcomes many difficulties and becomes the master of Buddhism, these two people are still a threat. The Taoist palace controls the two of them, which is an even greater threat to the poor monk."
"The poor monk asked himself that he was sincere enough to give the Eight Treasures Merit Pool to the King of Qin. Then he gave the weak spot to the Taoist Palace. I forgive the poor monk for not being able to do it. This is the bottom line."
Lin Ze said meaningfully: "Master really doesn't want to think about it again?"
Xuantang said decisively: "Others can be negotiated. The poor monk cannot give in on this matter. Whether it succeeds or not will be decided by the Taoist Palace."
Lin Ze nodded sincerely: "I understand."
After saying that, he stood up and said, "Senior brother, I will chat with Master Xuantang for a while. Junior brother, I will leave first. I am busy with business, so please forgive me."
Zhuang Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously stopped him: "Hey, junior brother, wait a minute, haven't you always wanted to solve the hidden danger of the Buddha? Why did Master Xuantang come to your door today to ask for cooperation, but junior brother behaved very coldly?"
Lin Ze replied calmly: "Because the junior brother feels that Master Xuantang is not here to deal with the Buddha, but in the name of dealing with the Buddha, in fact, he is acting on the order of the Buddha to deceive Maitreya Ksitigarbha from us in order to achieve the goal."
Hidden purpose."
Xuantang quickly defended: "This matter is not something the King of Qin imagined. Why did the King of Qin say this?"
Lin Ze sneered and said, "It's been a waste of time anyway. Since Master wants to hear it, I'll spend some more time explaining it to you."
"More than ten days ago, a secret message came from Maitreya. Avalokitesvara disappeared and was suspected to have been harmed by the Buddha. After receiving the letter, my senior brother and I rushed to southern Xinjiang in time and finally rescued them before the Buddha took action."
"For more than ten days, Maitreya Ksitigarbha has been staying in Chang'an. With the protection of my senior brother, the Buddha did not dare to act rashly, so everything is calm. Not long after, Master Xuantang, you will come."
"You keep saying that you want to deal with the Buddha, and you have proposed a plan that seems feasible, but is actually absurd. A person like the Buddha would not forget to plot against my master Taoist Saint once before he lost his holy position. How could someone take away the treasure of suppressing the religion so easily?
?”
"It seems to be a coincidence that the Buddha's target was Maitreya Ksitigarbha and your target is Maitreya Ksitigarbha. Your reason for wanting Maitreya Ksitigarbha is also very ridiculous. It was just to execute them in public to establish your authority."
"I once asked you if you could imprison the two of them for life. You said that you didn't want to leave any clues to the Taoist palace, but you didn't expect that you could execute the two of them in Chang'an. It shows that you don't want them to be wiped out now, but you want to keep them alive.
I have other plans."
"I'm going to make a bold guess. Did the Buddha tell you that the things you bring back must be alive? So you have to emphasize that you just need to destroy them."
"Do you think that a top-notch treasure can make me faint and lose my basic judgment? Master Xuantang, I have to say that your strategy, IQ, and cultivation are all at the lowest level."
"I don't even bother to analyze it carefully, but just picking one up will make you doubt your life."
Xuantang laughed and said: "Is King Qin sure that he will not guess wrong? King Qin thinks that such a thing as being so powerful that he becomes stupid will not happen to him. That's because King Qin has doubts."
"If the Eight Treasures Merit Pool is really placed in front of you, will King Qin give up this treasure because of Maitreya Ksitigarbha?"
Lin Ze chuckled and said: "Master Xuantang seems to know me very well. Who dares to say that he is not tempted by such a precious treasure?"
"It's a pity that there are no ifs. Master Xuantang can only accept this result. The Taoist Palace refuses to cooperate with you."
Xuantang was silent when he heard this, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lin Ze said casually: "Senior brother, I have said everything I need to say. I will leave it to my senior brother to handle the rest. Junior brother is really leaving this time."
