1159, Hongjun takes action

Tongtian, who was wandering among the crape myrtle stars, had been paying attention to the communication between Liu Hao and Puxian Bodhisattva. He listened to Liu Hao's questions one by one and almost laughed;

Samantabhadra didn't know how to answer, and Liu Hao didn't really want Samantabhadra to respond, and that wasn't his purpose;

"But now that this has happened, we can't push it any further!"

"What does the emperor mean?"

“Since the replacement of the Eastern Earth Emperor has been decided, changing it again would be making the same mistake again and again;

However, after Wu Zhao’s affairs are decided, Buddhism cannot continue to exert influence. How Wu Zhao decides in the future, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, must be her own decision!”

"Of course!"

Puxian Bodhisattva finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had no intention of using Wu Zetian as a puppet. If they really wanted to do this, not to mention Liu Hao, the Ziwei Emperor, even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race would never stand still;

In his heart, Puxian Bodhisattva's evaluation of Liu Hao was even higher. This was a figure who didn't have much respect for the saint;

Yes, after all, he is also a person who founded his own sect. He is at the level of 'leader' and has great merits. Even saints do not dare to deal with such a person at will. There is no need to worry about some things that he does not dare to say;

This is Liu Hao's real purpose, which is to give Wu Zetian more choices in the future, so that when Wu Zetian turns back to suppress Buddhism in the future, Buddhism will have nothing to say;

He knew that all the aristocratic families in history were completely ended in the hands of Wu Zetian;

Only in this way can the middle and lower passages of Dongtu be completely opened, and there will be no talk of a high-grade Wuhan gate;

Only in this way can his Hundred Schools of Thought truly unfold and grow into a true sky-supporting tree;

In contrast, Buddhism may flourish in the East for a while, but it will never become the real mainstream;

The future is a world of scholars! It is a world of hundreds of schools of thought!

These are Liu Hao's thoughts and predictions about the future; but he also knows that his predictions cannot be what he imagined.

This is a prehistoric world, not an ordinary world. Everything, in the final analysis, must be based on strength.

So what if everything develops in the future as Liu Hao expected? One day when a saint comes to earth, everything may have completely changed.

That's the difference.

Liu Hao was very satisfied with helping Wu Zetian regain her true autonomy in the future. As for the Buddhism that was about to open in the Tang Dynasty, it was not something he could stop.

But if you want him to express support, don't even think about it, and it's not something he can participate in;

He also knew that when Samantabhadra Bodhisattva arrived today, he would do more to show Haotian, and it would mostly be a formality. Being able to seize this opportunity to gain some benefits was already beyond expectation, and he could not push further.

The reason why people talk to themselves is mostly because they come from other worlds. In the future, Buddhism will still need to rely on themselves to some extent. It would be a big mistake if Liu Hao really tries to elevate himself.

Therefore, after getting what he wanted, Liu Hao immediately changed the topic;

"Speaking of which, you Buddhists are lucky. Journey to the West has been circulated in my world for hundreds of years as a story, and it has developed many believers invisibly. Now that Tang Sanzang and others are going there, it will get twice the result with half the effort, but we need to congratulate the Bodhisattva

That’s it!”

As for the specific details, Liu Hao cannot know the details as he travels across the world, but he also knows that his incarnation cannot allow Buddhism to preach unscrupulously, but he knows that he knows it, but he still has to do it with face-to-face congratulations;

As soon as he said these words, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva also showed a happy expression on his face. Samantabhadra Bodhisattva could not predict the specific details, but with the foundation, it was indeed much easier. In addition, Tang Sanzang and others went there in person, and Buddhism was indeed

Gave higher expectations;

Moreover, the most important thing is the hidden meaning revealed in Liu Hao's congratulations, which is that he will not be embarrassed, which is enough for Buddhism;

Buddhism is quite confident, at least at this time, it can be said that its self-confidence has reached a certain peak, as if it is invincible. This is why Buddhism is booming now;

Even the Daomen Sanqing had to retreat, which shows the general trend.

How could they know that in a different world, how could such a trend continue?

Only the top few in Buddhism know that they need to start over, but they will not say these words. It is just a blow to the enthusiasm of the middle and lower classes. Instead of doing this, it is better to let this enthusiasm continue;

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva has also been affected by this promotion to some extent, and the smile on his face is the best proof.

Outside, Tongtian, who was always paying attention, slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, with a hint of sneer on his face. After Samantabhadra left, he wandered back into the hall again;

"Isn't it true that the foundation of Buddhism in your world is very deep?"

"I won't hide it from you, compared to Taoism, Buddhism is even more widely spread in my world!"

"How could this be?"

No wonder Tongtian was surprised. In fact, even Liu Hao was also very surprised by this. Taoism is a local sect of the Dragon Kingdom, but in fact? Compared to the believers, they are definitely crushed by Buddhism.

The specific reasons are difficult to understand for non-professional researchers;

Liu Hao is not a person who studies religious affairs professionally, so naturally he knows very little about it;

That is to say, after the spiritual energy of our own earth has recovered and the various inheritances of Taoism have returned, they have gradually become the mainstream. Otherwise, the incense of Taoism will really be crushed by the temple;

"I don't know the specific reason. You can go to my world and study it yourself in the future. It is now that the spiritual energy has returned, which makes the Taoist sect prosper!"

Liu Hao shook his head slightly as he spoke, which made Tongtian even more curious;

Having said this, the two of them did not delve into this issue, nor could they explain why;

"Buddhism is about to spread its sutras in the East, so you don't want to read them?"

"How can I stop it? The Taoism has already nodded, this is the general trend; furthermore, if the Tao of hundreds of schools wants to grow into a big tree, it must go through wind and rain, how can bright flowers be grown in a greenhouse?

"

"You are open-minded. Aren't you afraid that Buddhism will uproot hundreds of schools?"

"Hahaha, it's not that I'm confident, but it's that if the two saints of Buddhism don't personally take action, it will never be possible! I still have this little bit of confidence!"

"That's right, from what I can see, your hundred schools of thought have already been spread in Dongsheng Divine Continent. Even though it's just a bud, it has spread in the end."

"All living beings are like this, but it's just for their own benefit!"

"You see clearly!"

Tongtian couldn't help but admire deep in his heart, but there were some words he didn't say out loud;

Some things are easier said than done!

When the True Hundred Schools of Thought is being crazily suppressed, can Liu Hao still be able to sit on the Diaoyutai as firmly as he is today? At that time, maybe he will be involved like himself just like when the Yin Shang became a god, right?

Tongtian also wants to see what choice Liu Hao will make in the future. In fact, this is what many saints are looking forward to.

As Buddhist disciples began to gradually enter the Eastern Tang Dynasty, it also marked the peak of a new round of journey to become gods;

There are also many Buddhist monks in Xuanwu Continent. These people seem to be very low-key, but even so, they are still closely guarded. Although Buddhism is powerful, who dares to despise them?

Although the number of people arriving from Buddhism was not large, it still fulfilled part of Liu Hao and Haotian's intentions. Privately, the two did not argue with each other, but looked at the development of the matter quietly;

If there is one, then there are two. This is the real plan of Liu Hao and Haotian. As long as Buddhism steps into it, whether it is for the sharing of future benefits or other losses, it will never be possible to escape;

Tathagata, as the Buddha, also knows these;

But what if you know it in many cases? There are countless Buddhist disciples, and they control the entire Xiniu Hezhou, almost to the extreme, it can also be said that it has been developed to the extreme, and its prosperity has reached its end;

If this continues, the future will inevitably begin to decline;

How can Buddhism be willing to give up?

The Eastern Tang Dynasty is one of them. However, the Eastern Tang Dynasty can only develop a few believers at most. It is more out of intercepting the orthodox destiny of the human race. The role it can play is only to make Buddhism prosperous and maintain.

It’s just more durable;

If you want to go further, you can only expand outward;

The newly emerged Zhongzhou and Xuanwuzhou are the only two options;

Logically speaking, Zhongzhou is the best choice, that is, it is close to Xiniu Hezhou, and the resources within it are equally useless;

But many things are not like this. Even if the pressure of Buzhou Mountain is much lower than in ancient times, it is still not small. If you don't have a certain level of cultivation, you can't even think of staying in it for a long time;

This is destined that Central Continent can only be a hunting ground for middle- and upper-class monks; others can only hang around in the periphery at most;

Buddhism emphasizes rebirth, and they are destined to be entangled with all living beings. Such a place is destined to only a small number of living beings. Apart from limited resources, the role it can play in Buddhism is limited, and it cannot be fundamentally understood.

push up the Buddhist door;

Therefore, Xuanwu Continent became the only choice. It was a newly emerged territory, and who could occupy how much of it would only depend on their ability;

The only bad thing is that it is separated by a region, so compared with other forces, Buddhism is at a disadvantage. This is why Tathagata and Buddhism have many scruples before;

Nowadays, there is a difference;

Buddhism has decided to send disciples to the Eastern Land to teach scriptures in the Tang Dynasty, which will inevitably arouse Taoism's vigilance;

This is simply unavoidable. It should be noted that when Buddhism is spread to the East, even if Taoist schools approve of it, it is inevitable that they will feel unhappy deep down in their hearts. In other words, obstruction becomes inevitable.

Since it is unavoidable, it is better to open up one more battlefield, namely Xuanwu Continent, which can draw away most of the Taoist sect's attention, make the success rate of the Eastern Land sutra transmission higher, and also extend the real tentacles of Buddhism into Xuanwu Continent.

, kill two birds with one stone.

This is the reason why Tathagata knew that Haotian had many calculations in it, but still made the choice without hesitation.

Moreover, Tathagata also feels that since this new round of conferring gods has begun, it is impossible for Buddhism to truly stay out of the matter. If that is the case, it is likely to repeat the mistakes of the Yin and Shang conferring gods. That would be a really bad thing.

.

Tathagata's predecessor was a treasure trove. It can be said that he has completely experienced the previous journey to become a god. How could he not take the initiative?
