Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 695: The Desolation of Burning Lanterns

"You must find the reincarnated spirit boy by then, and make sure he doesn't fall into Wu Tian's hands. Assist Fighting Buddha to find all the relics. If you have any questions, you can ask Senior Brother Xuandu."

"You don't need to have a conflict with Wu Tian for now. The most important thing is to protect the foundation of Buddhism."

“Maitreya, protect the Eight Treasures Merit Pond, and Ksitigarbha, protect the brocade robes, the purple gold bowl, and the nine-ring Zen staff. These magic weapons are closely related to the fortune of Buddhism and must not fall into Wu Tian’s hands.”

"The Merit Golden Lotus has almost recovered to the twelfth level. There is no need to rely on the Eight Treasures Merit Pond for nourishment. The Twelfth Level Merit Golden Lotus suppresses the luck of Buddhism, which is of utmost importance. Three-eyed Monkey, you don't need to do anything. Take the Twelfth Level Merit Golden Lotus and hide. You must protect the Twelfth Level Merit Golden Lotus."

“Without these magic weapons, Wu Tian cannot gather the luck of Buddhism, and occupying Lingshan is useless.”

Tathagata arranged the Tao.

"Why should the most important Twelve-Level Golden Lotus of Merit be given to the three-eyed monkey to guard?" Maitreya frowned.

"Because he is the master of Fighting Buddha, only he or Tang Sanzang can better protect the Twelve-Rank Merit Golden Lotus. Who are you willing to let protect it?"

"The master of the Destiny Master will also receive some favor from the Destiny."

Tathagata said.

"Then let's leave it to the three-eyed monkey."

Maitreya suddenly lost all his momentum. If he handed it over to Tang Seng, he would probably never get it back. Don't forget that Tang Seng also established the Datong Buddhism. If he took the Twelve Golden Lotuses of Merit to suppress the fortune of the Datong Buddhism, their Mahayana Buddhism would be useless.

Compared to Tang Seng, the three-eyed monkey is more reliable and trustworthy.

Of course, that's what he thought.

Sun Wukong looked at Tathagata in astonishment. He knew that the three-eyed monkey was an incarnation created by his third master, the Sage Lingxiao, who used him as a springboard to enter Lingshan and obtain the Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit.

Tathagata also knew that giving the Twelve-Level Golden Lotus of Merit to the Three-Eyed Monkey for protection at this time was equivalent to giving the Twelve-Level Golden Lotus of Merit to the Third Master.

This was probably the deal that Tathagata made with the Third Master, giving the Twelve-Level Golden Lotus of Merit to the Third Master in exchange for the Third Master protecting Jie Religion.

Tathagata doesn't care about the life and death of Buddhism at all. He only wishes that Jiejiao will be safe and that he will be the eldest brother of Jiejiao.

The entire Buddhist community was controlled by Tathagata.

These old scoundrels are ruthless when it comes to cheating people.

The people of Jiejiao, Chenjiao, Guiyijiao and the demon clan all have a way out. At worst, they can go back and leave Buddhism.

But the Western religion has no way out and will be killed by Tathagata.

In the battle between Buddha and the devil, no matter who wins in the end, the Western religion will definitely lose.

This is also retribution. In the past, the Western Religion joined forces with the Orthodox Religion to kill the Jie Religion, but now it is being betrayed to death by the Jie Religion's eldest brother.

The disciples of the Chan sect were very unhappy. Manjusri said, "What does this mean, Buddha? The important Buddhist magic weapon was not given to the Buddha Dipankara. Does that mean that you don't trust us?"

"Tsk." Sun Wukong sneered. At this time, they were still busy with intrigue. This is Buddhism, this is the orthodox teaching. It's really disgusting.

"The Buddha Dipamkara was also in the calamity, and he left behind a trace of his spirit, which may save his life."

Tathagata shook his head and looked at Ran Deng deeply.

Among the Chan sects, Dipankara is probably the only one who is a human being.

When the Orthodox Sect targeted the Demonic Sect, Ran Deng was the only one who spoke up for the Demonic Sect. For the sake of this friendship, he gave a reminder, but it's no wonder that Ran Deng didn't listen.

"What?" Everyone in the Chan sect changed their expressions.

"Alas, I actually have some sense of this, and I have already made some preparations. I have done what I can, and whether I can survive this disaster depends on God's will."

Ran Deng sighed. He had sensed something when the calamity began. He cut off a strand of his soul and gave it to Taiyi Zhenren. If he got into trouble, Taiyi Zhenren would find a chance to send his soul into reincarnation. Perhaps he could come back like Fuxi. Among the Chan sect, the one he trusted most was not Nan Ji Xian Weng, Guang Cheng Zi, or Yuan Shi Tian Zun, but Taiyi Zhenren, who hated the intrigue and was at odds with the Chan sect.

The people of the Chan sect were in a heavy mood and had no time to care about intrigue.

"Okay, let's get ready. Maybe we'll see each other again in 33,000 years. Luo Xuan, please stay."

Tathagata waved his hand.

All the Buddhas left, leaving only Tathagata and Luo Xuan in the main hall.

"Junior brother, you are the one I trust the most at the moment. Leave a mark in my soul so that you can easily find my reincarnation. You must protect it well."

"Don't tell anyone, including your fellow disciples. If there are too many people, everything will be over if even a little bit of it is leaked."

"Don't go back to Jiejiao. Stay in the dark and protect my reincarnation. As long as my reincarnation is safe and sound and Sun Wukong finds all the relics, we will have the advantage."

Tathagata said very solemnly.

"Okay, I will never let you down, brother."

Luo Xuan nodded vigorously. The eldest senior brother had placed his life in his hands. He would rather die than let this trust down.

Tathagata smiled and nodded, letting go of his sea of ​​consciousness, allowing Luo Xuan to plant a mark in his soul.

At the same time, Nezha followed to Randang’s temple.

"What? You still can't bear to leave me?" Randeng said with a smile.

Nezha didn't say anything, his eyes were complicated. Li Jing was not a human being, and the Chan sect was not a human being, but Ran Deng took good care of him.

Among all the Chan sects, apart from his master, the one who treated him best was Ran Deng.

The last time he came to ask for the Netherworld Ghost Fire and the Purple Myrtle Sky Fire, Ran Deng gave them to him without saying a word.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't have hesitated at all, but when it came to Randeng, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"You can use the coffin lamp and the ruler of heaven and earth. I gave the Ninth Rank Golden Lotus to your master. If I survive, you can return it to me. If I die, I will give it to you."

"After all, it is Li Jing who has let you and your mother down. Since I am his master, I should do something."

Randang took out the magic weapon and gave it to Nezha.

Nezha couldn't hold it anymore, so he didn't answer, not daring to look directly at Randeng: "I'm here to kill you."

Randeng was stunned and even suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"My mother is not dead. She has been possessed by a demon and has become the eternal nightmare of the leader of the Ten Demon Saints under Wu Tian. She wants me to kill you."

"This disaster is not yours, but Li Jing's. You accepted him as your disciple and blocked the disaster for him. He is a disaster."

Nezha roared excitedly.

"I see, I see. Sigh, I coveted the Qiankun Ruler and took Li Jing as my apprentice, which is why I am where I am today."

“No wonder the demon boy looks exactly like you. It turns out it’s not Wu Tian’s arm, but your mother’s. The demon boy is here to kill me too.”

Randeng looked calm, not too shocked, and sighed and shook his head.

"Wu Tian and Tathagata also want you to die because you are in the calamity and are one of the seventeen relics." Nezha continued.

Enemies, friends, everyone wanted Ran Deng to die. It was undoubtedly a miserable life for Ran Deng.
