Chapter 401 Destroying Buddha?

Sun Jue was a little surprised when he saw the rather quaint, even rudimentary house in front of him.

"Is this your home?"

For a person like Yuan Shoucheng who can pinch and count, it shouldn't be difficult to become rich and powerful, and he shouldn't live in such a place.

Yuan Shoucheng knew why Sun Jue was surprised, so he just smiled and said, "I just live alone, and I don't need a good place, as long as I have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

"The two immortals, please."

Yuan Shoucheng opened the door and led the two of them in.

The inside is quite tidy, and it can be seen that Yuan Shoucheng is a clean person.

"Two immortals, please sit down. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

Yuan Shoucheng paused suddenly, because he suddenly remembered that he had already brought the two of them back to his home in Chang'an City, and even made his servants serve tea, why did he suddenly come to the hometown in his memory?

When he raised his eyes to look at Sun Jue again, he saw that Sun Jue was smiling, and the surroundings changed back to the appearance of his home in Chang'an City.

A thin layer of cold sweat broke out from Yuan Shoucheng's forehead. How could he not know what kind of tricks this person in front of him used against him just now.

The reason for the sudden stop was most likely because he wanted to warn him.

"Great Immortal, what I just said is true. The planning of the Jinghe Dragon King was inspired by Buddhism. The reason why I came to me is also because my nephew Yuan Tiangang is the official of Qin Tianjian. I can pass him. , to a certain extent bypass the influence of the humane dragon spirit."

Qin Tianjian originally had the responsibility of monitoring Datang's own national destiny, so it is normal not to be affected by the humane dragon spirit.

Sun Jue nodded slightly, believing this explanation.

Just now, he wanted to directly guide Yuan Shoucheng to tell everything with his spirit, but he was suddenly overwhelmed by a wave of humane dragon spirit, presumably because of this.

"Do you know that your move is betraying Datang?"

Although Li Shimin will be fine, it doesn't mean Yuan Shoucheng can do this.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shoucheng said hastily: "The emperor is protected by the dragon spirit of humanity, so nothing will happen. Even if it is a Buddhist Tathagata, he would not dare to undertake such a big cause and effect."

"And I only need to do such a little guidance, and I can exchange for a chance to enter the immortal register and achieve a real result. Anyone will agree to it..."

In the end, Yuan Shoucheng's voice became smaller and smaller, because he knew very well that no matter how he tried to justify, he could not get rid of the fact that he had betrayed Datang.

And the person in front of him specifically asked about this matter, and now he said so, making Yuan Shoucheng think that the person in front of him was sent by the emperor.

Then he shook his head again, the person in front of him had a very high level of cultivation, it was impossible for him to still be in love with the world, and it was even more impossible for him to obey the emperor's order.

Now is not the time in ancient times, when the emperor could command the world, and there were countless capable people and strange men under his command.

"It's none of my business what you want to do. I'm just curious about it, so I'm just asking."

Sun Jue thought for a while, and with a wave of his hand, he erased all the things about him and Yang Chan from Yuan Shoucheng's memory.

After doing all this, looking at Yuan Shoucheng who had fallen into a coma, Sun Jue said to Yang Chan, "Let's go."

When the two left Yuan Shoucheng's house, Yang Chan asked a little puzzled: "Since you came to inquire about this matter, don't you want to destroy it? Why..."

Sun Jue smiled: "I just took a look at it on a whim, to understand the inside story of it, and even if Yuan Shoucheng didn't do this, other people would do it, but the person who set up the trap and the person in the trap are different. "

"Besides, since I want to reap benefits from Journey to the West, I can't let this Journey to the West fail."

"And it wasn't nothing just now. The Buddhist sect promised immortality. Obviously, the Jade Emperor knows about this matter. The Heavenly Court has a deep involvement in this matter."

It stands to reason that, at this stage of Buddhism's Journey to the West, the stage is set by Buddhism, and then other talents will gradually appear on the stage.

But when the stage was first set up, the Heavenly Court provided all kinds of support, and it was unknown what agreement the Tathagata and the Jade Emperor reached to make the Jade Emperor support Buddhism so much.

'Could it be that you want to take this opportunity to promote the authority of heaven? '

Sun Jue thought to himself.

Due to the efforts of the human race in ancient times, the human race has occupied most of the world. In some people's words, it has become the protagonist of the world.

In fact, there are also top experts in the human race. The three holy emperors of Huoyun Cave, the five emperors after that, and some other emperors and sages are all experts equivalent to quasi-sages or big Luos.

Even if some people have fallen, the number of masters accumulated is quite a lot, enough to be called a top power in the Three Realms.

But these people did not join the Heavenly Court. In this way, not only will the threat to the Heavenly Court become greater and greater, but it will also cause the Heavenly Court to lose new sources of talent.

Naturally, it became the thorn in the eyes of the Jade Emperor.

The four celestial masters promoted by Laojun not only added manpower to Xuanmen, but also set an example for other human races, and the Jade Emperor was naturally happy to see their success.

Otherwise, how could the Jade Emperor agree to the massive expansion of Xuanmen?

Moreover, these people are not directly descended from the Taoist sect, so he can win them over.

"what are you thinking about?"

Yang Chan's words brought Sun Jue back to his senses.

Sun Jue didn't hide anything, and told her some of his speculations.

"These things are so troublesome!"

Thinking of the intricate connections among them, Yang Chan couldn't help feeling a little headache.

"That can't be helped. There is a saying that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and intrigues are everywhere."

Sun Jue was also a little helpless, since he became a member of Xuanmen and enjoyed the benefits, he naturally had to fulfill his due obligations.

Is he going to sit back and watch the Buddhism and the heaven grow, and the living space of the Taoism is constantly squeezed?
This loss is not only the interests of Xuanmen, but also his own interests.

Moreover, in order to become a Daoist, it is necessary to compete with others, without the support of big forces, it will be difficult to go further in the future.

Yang Chan sighed, a little sadness appeared on Furongyu's face.

"You are like this, and so is your second brother. Can't you live a happy and carefree life?"

"Unless we're all alone and want nothing, it's inevitable."

Sun Jue tightened his grip on the jade hand, "Think about it, if the Buddhism continues to grow, and then we want to drive the Xuanmen to extinction, what will we do then?"

"Don't talk about anything else, do you want to save Master? Uncle and the others? There are other brothers."

"And even if we don't fight or grab, will others let us go? They will only think that we are easy to bully, so we have to continue to strengthen ourselves."

"Continuous practice and rapid progress, this requires resources, right? This also needs to be fought for."

"All of this is inseparable from the word strength, so fighting is unavoidable."

Faced with Sun Jue's words, Yang Chan nodded silently, she didn't know this truth.

It's just that what she yearns for is to be at ease with her lover and relatives, instead of being busy calculating this and fighting with that as a whole.

"Stop talking about these things, I'll take you for a stroll, let's go."

Sun Jue dragged Yang Chan towards the bustling market.

……

"Your Majesty, Duke Wei seeks an audience."

Hearing the eunuch's words, Tang Taizong raised his head in surprise, and looked away from the memorial.

"Why did Li Jing ask to see him suddenly? Is he sick?"

The inner eunuch quickly replied: "I don't know."

Tang Taizong pondered for a moment, then said: "Let Li Jing come in."

Li Jing said that he had been ill for several years, and it was said that his condition was getting worse. Now he suddenly asked for a visit, it must be something urgent.

"Yes."

The inner warden stepped back quickly.

Not long after, the "depressed" Duke of Wei Li Jing walked in.

"My subject, Li Jing, pay homage to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Nezha was about to pay his respects, but Tang Taizong directly held him back.

"Li Aiqing is sick, so don't salute, come here, give Li Aiqing a seat."

For Li Jing, Tang Taizong still had great trust, not only because of Li Jing's hard work, but also because Li Jing supported him extremely from the beginning.

Before he was the King of Qin, he had been by his side.

Moreover, at this time Li Jing is old, not only has no descendants, but also never participates in political affairs, such a courtier, no matter who he is, will be extremely trusted.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Nezha sat down, looked at Li Shimin, who was obviously old, and sighed in his heart.

Heroes are late!
Tang Taizong looked at Li Jing, feeling the same in his heart.

"I wonder if Li Aiqing is in better health?"

Nezha smiled and seemed to be out of breath, which made Tang Taizong worry that his beloved general would die in the next moment.

"Thanks to His Majesty's blessing, he has recovered a lot, and he can linger on for a few more years."

"Hey, Li Aiqing has been with me in the army for half his life. When he gets old, he suffers from all kinds of problems. He hasn't enjoyed a few days of good life. I'm sorry for you!"

Tang Taizong looked at his beloved general who was "ridden by illness", and couldn't help feeling a little depressed, thinking of the past.

When people get old, they like to think about the past, especially when there are old people and things in front of them.

Nezha smiled: "Your Majesty, now that the people of the Tang Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, the veteran is already satisfied. You have lived up to our original agreement, and you are already very worthy of the veteran."

"Furthermore, one's death is mortal, some are heavier than Mount Tai, some are lighter than a feather, and although the veteran is suffering from illness, he has already left his name in history, so why should His Majesty care about it?"

Hearing such open-minded words from his beloved general, Tang Taizong couldn't help but also became more cheerful.

"Aiqing is right. I and you have created this peaceful and prosperous world, which is enough to leave a name in history, and let future generations know our great achievements. It is great enough, and it is not in vain to go through the world!"

Tang Taizong restrained his turbulent thoughts, looked at Nezha and asked, "Aiqing suddenly entered the palace today, there must be something wrong?"

"You can't hide it from Your Majesty."

Nezha looked serious, "Your Majesty knows that the old minister possesses extraordinary powers and has made friends with many capable people and strangers. Not long ago, a friend of the minister came to visit, and I learned from the friend that someone is trying to trick Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Tang Taizong's expression also became dignified.

He is very clear about Li Jing's ability, and he also "knows" that the other party's current appearance is terminally ill, and it is also because of practicing different arts that he became like this.

He promised to build a temple for Li Jing, and enshrine him in the future so that he can become a god, which is a reward for his beloved general.

So he trusted the words of this beloved general very much.

"Who is so bold?"

Nezha looked left and right, Tang Taizong immediately waved his hand and sent out the maids and eunuchs, leaving only two people in the entire palace.

"It's the bald donkey of Buddhism!"

Hearing this, Tang Taizong's eyes were fixed. He was not ignorant of the Three Realms.

Although because of the eternal Emperor Qin Shihuang, the major forces continued to divide and win over the human race, and restricted the human race from reappearing like the Great Qin Empire, and even the emperor could no longer practice.

However, some information was passed on to later generations through the major families.

"Buddhism is now a big force in the Three Realms, even if it is not much worse than Xuanmen, right? How could they hit my head? I don't have the idea of ​​destroying Buddha."

Tang Taizong frowned. This matter is really troublesome. If it is not handled properly, the Tang Dynasty may fall apart.

"The old minister heard that it is because Buddhism wants to spread Mahayana Buddhism in Nanfang Buzhou."

A hint of doubt appeared in Tang Taizong's eyes: "Mahayana Buddhism? What is Mahayana?"

"The Hinayana crosses oneself, the Mahayana crosses people, but the virtues of those bald donkeys are just a cover, the most important thing is to preach."

Nezha was extremely disdainful in his words.

Tathagata Buddha is the master of Mahayana Buddhism, so it is natural to spread Mahayana Buddhism. In the final analysis, the Westward Journey is to expand influence and gather luck.

Tang Taizong frowned and pondered: "What does Buddhism want to do?"

He didn't have any bad feelings towards Buddhism at first, and if the other party wants to preach, as long as it doesn't violate the law, then he doesn't have any objections.

It's just that now the Buddhist sect has turned their minds on him, which makes Tang Taizong a little upset.

It's just that it's not good to be unhappy. As a hero of a generation, he knows very well that sometimes he should bow his head or have to bow his head.

Nezha didn't hesitate, and said directly: "They want to scare His Majesty, and then guide His Majesty to believe in Buddhism, and then preaching is a matter of course."

"Moreover, they plan to support the corresponding candidates after His Majesty's death, so that Buddhism will become the state religion."

"How dare you!"

The anger that was squeezed in Tang Taizong's heart finally broke out.

If it's just preaching, he can bear it for the sake of the overall situation.

But wanting to control Datang, this obviously touched Tang Taizong's bottom line.

"Since Buddhism is not benevolent, don't blame me for not giving them face!"

Nezha asked calmly, "What does Your Majesty plan to do?"

"Of course, I want to learn from Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to destroy Buddhism. I want to see how Buddhism can take me!"

Tang Taizong was obviously angry at this time. Of course, these words were not just angry words.

Nezha was quite satisfied with this in his heart, but he also knew that if Tang Taizong really wanted to do this, then the Tathagata Buddha would definitely explode, and no one knew what would happen then.
