Immortality: Start with the Gourd Sword Art

Chapter 201: Wealth is gained in danger, but also lost in danger

Without Longli Bodhisattva in charge, Liang Wang's situation was over. Faced with the attacks of the three families, he retreated steadily. In just a few days, he lost most of his territory.

Among the three families, the King of Chu was the most capable and had the most elite soldiers and horses. He was the first to break through the defense line of King Liang and sent troops to Dongpingfu City.

The flag is fluttering wildly, and the evil spirit of the military is condensed into substance.

All 70,000 elite troops were deployed, and at a glance, it was difficult to see the end.

Although the defeat has been decided, the extent of the defeat is still unknown.

This is what everyone in Buddhism strives for today.

"The old monk still has some friendship with the Taibai Sword Sect, so let the old monk go and see if there is any room for change!"

Zen Master Fahai sighed, stood up and performed a Buddhist salute to Zen Master Zhifei.

In addition to Longli Bodhisattva and Savi Bodhisattva, the most prestigious among Buddhists are the two divine monks, Zen Master Zhigong and Zen Master Zhifei.

Although Zen Master Fahai and Zhenren Qiao Xuan had met before, they had no friendship, so they went directly to Mount Tai to find Zen Master Zhigong.

The biggest shortcoming of Buddhism today is that it is seriously lacking in strength in China. If the Taibai Sword Sect can be persuaded to let go, it will not lose too completely.

In addition, the strength of Taibai Sword Sect was not enough to completely uproot Buddhism, so Buddhism chose Taibai Sword Sect instead of the other six Xuanmen sects.

There are still two and a half people, one is Xu Li's master, Master Qiao Xuan, and the other is Zen Master Zhi Gong who guards the Yin and Yang Passage in Mount Tai.

"Buddhism?" Taoist Qingyu restrained his sword and glanced at Fentuo, then smiled and said, "The real person is refining his sword and there are no outsiders."

Because Zen Master Fahai was too close to Zen Master Zhigong, although he had heard some rumors about this Buddhist plan, both the two Bodhisattvas Long Li and Zen Master Zhifei tacitly excluded him from the core. outside.

They surrendered to Xuanmen today, and there is no telling that tomorrow, the Two Saints will take them to the Western Paradise.

Let’s not talk about what Zen Master Fahai wants to tell Zen Master Zhigong.

Zen Master Zhi Gong's achievement of Hedao was extremely hidden. Even when he faced the Seven Phoenixes, he never tried his best. Of course, even if he tried his best, it was still useless against the seven-headed phoenix, so it was quite confusing. However, only King Qiao, Zhong Shenxiu and Xu Li know his true identity.

Zen Master Fahai said that he has a relationship with the Taibai Sword Sect, but the one who can really make the decision is in Luoyang now. Well, this god of death is not easy to talk to, and everyone who sees it is a little frightened. Zen Master Fahai will naturally not seek trouble for himself.

It is true that when a person is sitting at home, the pot comes from heaven.

Even if Zen Master Fahai has achieved the Dhammakaya level, his status is still much lower than that of Zen Master Zhifei.

Taoist Qingyu shook his head and did not respond.

In addition, this was the first appearance of Taoist Qingyu after he became a Yuanshen, which made Fentuo secretly shocked. He didn't know when the Taibai Sword Sect had another Yuanshen real person.

"Fentuo asks to see Master Xu, and I hope that Master will spare no effort to meet him." Fentuo was not frustrated even though he failed, and shouted loudly while blocking the light of the sapphire sword with Buddha's light.

Similarly, there is Master Fentuo who has achieved golden body.

As soon as Master Fentuo's escape light approached Taibai Mountain and turned the devil into a Taoist, the sword light of the green jade Taoist who had cultivated the soul rose up and blocked the Buddha's light.

"Fentuo from Chaoyin Cave asks to see Master Xu, and also asks fellow Taoist to inform him."

Master Fentuo had no expression on his face, and he stood up and said.

One is in Taibai Mountain, and Fintuo has already volunteered.

Before this change, he had always been the leader of Buddhism in the Central Plains.

If Zen Master Fahai had no complaints in his heart, that would be an insult to him, but now is not the time to settle accounts.

After Taoist Qingyu transformed into an immortal body and cultivated the soul, his foundation was quite strong, and his mana was much higher than that of Fentuo, who had just cultivated a golden body.

"Because of our incompetence, we have to work so hard for our tired brothers. I feel really guilty." Zen Master Zhifei stood up and bowed in return.

Zen Master Fahai and Master Fentuo avoided it at the same time.

"How brave." The Qingyu Taoist who had cultivated the Yuanshen had higher magic power than Fentuo. In addition, Fentuo only wanted to go through the mountains to meet Xu Li, and not hurt anyone again, so he kept this silent divine thunder. It just caused Taoist Qingyu to have some ringing in his ears.

"Who dares to break into Taibai Mountain Gate without permission?"

It's very simple. The Taibai Sword Sect is the weak side when it comes to the six sects that come together, and it's easy to persuade them.

The sword light circled around the Buddha's light, making it difficult for Defentuo to move forward.

Those whose strength is similar to one's own are called negotiations, those who are far beyond one's own are called surrenders. No matter how difficult Buddhism is, it is still one of the three authentic sects.

Now the two people who can really decide the matter are Zhong Shenxiu and Xu Li. Even if Zen Master Zhi Gong agrees, it will not be easy to convince the other people of Taibai Sword Sect to let Buddhism go.

"Sorry to bother you two." Zen Master Zhifei bowed again.

Zen Master Zhifei is the oldest in Buddhism and even entered Buddhism earlier than Bodhisattva Savi.

"How about I ask you, fellow Taoist, to report this?" Fentuo already understood that this Taoist was blocking this place, so he must have received orders a long time ago, but after all, it involved the entire Buddhist sect, and Fentuo still wanted to fight for it.

"I also have an acquaintance with fellow Taoist Xu, and we have some friendship, so let me go to the Taibai Sword Sect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a silent divine thunder exploded next to Qingyu Taoist, and Fentuo himself turned into a ray of Buddha's light and wanted to take the opportunity to break into Taibai Mountain.

As for why it is Taibai Sword Sect, not Longhushan and Louguan Taoism.

Now that the plan failed, the entire Buddhist sect suffered together.

Fentuo saw this and sighed: "I'm offended."

"Senior brother is serious, this is a calamity for the entire Buddhist sect in China. As a disciple of Buddhism, how can the old monk just sit back and watch."

Although Qingyu's magic power is higher, like Fentuo, he has not been able to cultivate his own skills above the soul. It is not easy to suppress this Buddhist nun who is as famous as Su Ziying.

The two fought for a while, Fentuo kept shouting.

In the sword furnace, Xu Li shook his head helplessly as he heard the voice of begging for help echoing in his ears.

Although this Master Fentuo has cultivated a golden body, his original stubborn temper has not improved much. He clearly knows that he does not want to see her, but he still looks like he will not give up until he achieves his goal.

"That's it! Let her in!"

Xu Li spoke, Qingyu responded, sheathed her sword light, and no longer blocked Fentuo.

Master Fentuo bowed to Taoist Qingyu and apologized before entering Taibai Mountain.

The Buddha's light fell, and before Fentuo could say anything, Xu Li had already opened his mouth and said:

"Master is considered an old friend, so I won't use false words to prevaricate Master." "The Taibai Sword Sect will not agree to what you ask for. The Taibai Sword Sect has never done anything contrary to its promise since it established the sect. This is a precedent. , will not be opened in the hands of poor people, this is one of them.

Secondly, this matter was originally promoted by poor Taoists. The Buddhist sect has too many thoughts, which is a big hidden danger for us. The Taibai Sword Sect is not afraid of enemies on the surface, but is afraid of villains like the Buddhist sect who stab the back. "

Xu Li's words were extremely unpleasant, but Master Fentuo remained silent. Although his words were unpleasant, they were true.

It is not that there are no eminent monks in Buddhism, such as Zen Master Zhifei, Zen Master Zhigong, even Fentuo himself, even the two Bodhisattvas Savilongli, and even most Buddhist monks are not bad people. They also rescue people in danger and protect the people. He will also run for the common good.

However, due to being suppressed by the Taoist demons for many years, and the rebellion of the Peacock King, the vitality of the Buddhist sect was greatly damaged, and his status plummeted, and he became a vassal of the Taoist sect for many years.

The two sages in the West have a high level of understanding and can see clearly, but that does not mean that everyone in Buddhism can see clearly.

For the sake of the great ambition of Buddhism to be revived, he gradually became unscrupulous in doing things.

Normally he is an eminent monk and a great virtue, but when it comes to the rise of Buddhism, he doesn't care about justice and only cares about benefits.

This is the fundamental reason why Buddhism failed this time.

Although wealth is gained in danger, it is also lost in danger.

One tenth of the time is sought, nine tenths of the time is lost.

A teacher has a reputation and holds morality. This is the simplest and most profound truth summarized by countless smart and talented people over countless years.

Xu Li's words shattered what Fentuo had originally said, about the weak linking up to resist the strong.

Compared with these petty gains, what Xu Liqiu seeks is moral and righteous, and what he does is the royal way.

Fentuo was speechless and looked a little lonely, but Xu Li smiled and said:

"Since the two saints founded Buddhism, it has existed for tens of thousands of years and has prospered. If a civilization and a Taoism can exist for such a long time, it naturally has its merits. Although Buddhism suffered a huge defeat this time, But it will not disappear in China.”

Master Fentuo, who didn't know whether to speak or not, his eyes lit up when he heard Xu Li's words, and he hurriedly asked: "Is what the real person said true?"

After finishing speaking, he felt that he had lost his composure. After adjusting the monk's robe a little, he bowed deeply and said:

"Please give me advice from a real person."

Xu Li nodded and said with a smile:
"It's hard to say more about Pindao now, but Pindao can give you a guide. It's up to you whether you listen or not."

"Please let the real person speak clearly."

"Buddhism has deviated from the scriptures written by the Two Saints in this calamity. If we are not defeated today, we will be defeated tomorrow. There is nothing to say.

Here comes the second one! But it is a bit complicated. The time for Taibai Sword Sect to attack Yan Mo Palace is approaching, so naturally the fewer variables, the better.

In addition, Sabi's plan was too big and exceeded the limit that Xuanmen could tolerate. Therefore, whether it is the Six Sects or Taibai Sword Sect, they all feel that today's Buddhism is too annoying, but your Buddhism really has it. The ability to change the situation, you said, can you sleep well with such a close friend by your side? "

What Xu Li said was the most fundamental truth without any false pretense.

The taboo that Buddhism violated this time is so great that neither the other six sects nor the Taibai Sword Sect can tolerate it.

The reason why Buddhism was able to jump up and down in the past was because he was very useful, and his ambition to be on an equal footing with Taoism or even replace Taoism was not exposed, so Taoism tolerated it again and again.

No matter how much fun there was before, it was just Lou Guandao and his family accompanying him.

But things are different now. Savi's ambitions are too great, and there is a future substitute called Mahayana Buddhism. Neither the Taibai Sword Sect nor the Six Sects will stop until these unstable people in Buddhism are completely suppressed to death.

"Tibet is vast, sparsely populated, and has a harsh environment. It really needs people to protect and develop it. If you are interested, I can leave it to you, but the condition is that Savi and Longli leave China, and Buddhism withdraws from the Central Plains.

Don’t think about the authentic status of the three religions, you guys, just be a heretic for the time being! "

Abandoning the Central Plains, hiding in hiding, driving away the current leaders of Buddhism, he also gave up his position as the authentic sect of the three religions, and became a heretic from then on.

Each of these conditions can be called harsh, but compared to the difficulties encountered by Buddhism today, they are actually nothing. After all, in the current situation, if one is bad, the Buddha will really be destroyed.

"Temporarily?" Xu Li's conditions were harsh, but Fentuo heard the underlying meaning.

"For the time being." Xu Li nodded with a smile. Although he was a bit angry and stubborn, Fentuo couldn't be a fool if he could cultivate a golden body. Among Xu Li's many words, he instantly grasped the key point.

After receiving Xu Li's approval, Fentuo was overjoyed. Buddhism has been suppressed for who knows how many years since King Peacock Daming. Other martial arts are hard to come by. However, every Buddhist disciple has practiced the skill of forbearance well.

"Thank you, Master, for your advice. Fentuo is not impressed by the Buddhist inscriptions."

Xu Li waved his hand and sighed:
"Although Buddhism has bad intentions and Jin Chanzi has bad intentions, after all, it was Buddhism who took in the old monk, and it was Jin Chanzi who freed him so that he would not feel guilty every day. Although he did not say it, I How could I not know? This time I will return the favor on his behalf!”

Because of Zen Master Zhi Gong, Xu Li's sense of Buddhism has never been too bad.

Therefore, although it promoted the overall situation of encircling and suppressing Buddhism, it did not intend to kill them all.

Again, the fact that Buddhism has been able to exist for so many years certainly has its merits.

What Xu Li wants is for all things to compete and for a hundred schools of thought to contend, not for one family to dominate.

If there is something to be said for it, then keep it.

After bidding farewell to Xu Li, Fentuo returned to Dongping Mansion happily. However, as soon as he told the prerequisites, he was opposed by most people and cursed him as a traitor to Buddhism.

What Xu Li said is that today's Buddhism deviates from the meaning of the Second Bible, but he is not wrong at all.

Buddhism values ​​letting go, but now these Buddhist disciples are all obsessed with the great development of Buddhism.

When the Second Saint faced the Peacock King, he gave up the dojo immediately without any hesitation.

But now these Buddhist disciples, even though Fentuo has made it clear that these are temporary and will revive in the future, these people cannot accept it.

Hmm. The obsession is too deep to let go. For the Supreme Inner Demon who is about to become the Lord of all demons, they are all excellent disciples. They are more suitable for his way of being the Demon Lord than the original Supreme Demon Sect.

However, this is fine. Xu Li did not kill them all and left the Buddhist sect behind. This was after a lot of consideration.

In addition to the two reasons mentioned above.

In his mind, he was ready to support Zen Master Zhi Gong as the leader of Mahayana Buddhism after King Maurya Ming.

Therefore, he wanted to retain some disciples for him so that he could support Mahayana Buddhism in the future.

But these people are obviously not suitable anymore. It would be a good thing to filter out some of them.

Fentuo came full of joy, but was scolded as a traitor by everyone. No matter how stubborn he was, he was still very disheartened when faced with such a situation.

"These people seem to still be wearing cassocks, but they are no longer worthy of being Buddhist disciples."
