Chapter 364 The Three Emperors Come to the West! A Mysterious Bet
In the original work, there is also a slight mention of the immortals who later entered Buddhism and became Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Historically, the origins of these immortals and Buddhas have been controversial for a long time. Zhang Zixing did not bother to research it, nor did he care that in this world,
Whether the various immortals would become the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas later, they just copied it with slight modifications. At this time, the Western religion was at a time when its talents were scarce and its strength was weak. After hearing what he said, it really made Jie Yin and Zhunti's hearts move.
In order to avoid the suspicion of the two Western Saints, Zhang Zixing also arranged some candidates among the Jie Cult. Lingya Immortal, Qiu Shou Immortal, Jin Guang Immortal, Pi Lu Immortal, and Jin Guan Immortal were temporarily included in the "sacrifice list."
Among them, Lingya Fairy, Qiu Shou Fairy, and Jin Guang Fairy, who were originally destined to be mounts, were "friendship-promoted" by Zhang Zixing to become Bodhisattvas, while Pilu Fairy and Jin Huan Fairy were made Buddhas. Zhang Zixing originally wanted to teach Chang Er, the biggest rebellious boy,
Dingguang Immortal also came in to install a calamity-ridden Jingtan envoy Dangdang, but then I thought about it, this would be too sorry for Brother Bajie, so he specifically pointed out: There is a long-eared Dingguang Immortal, or even a person who is a big hindrance, he must be
Only by turning it into fly ash can the luck of Western teachings be unimpeded.
As for Kong Xuan, Taoist Duobao, Wu Yunxian and others, although they had similar fates in the original work, they were specially retained by Zhang Zixing. The Lingya Fairy and others originally listed were to abandon the car to protect the commander, and to gain trust and guide him.
However, these people who are closely related to him or have strong combat capabilities cannot be left to Western religions. It was once said that Taoist Duobao was Sakyamuni. In view of this, Zhang Zixing deliberately placed Taoist Zhunti in Sakyamuni.
In the position of Jia; as for the Peacock King Ming Dynasty corresponding to the second brother Kong Xuan, it is even more...
After hearing these words, the three great kings of enlightenment, Gandharvas and the Messenger of Joy looked at each other in shock: This Xiaoyaozi is so ridiculous, and he has taken great pains to arrange the positions of so many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas! Will the two leaders believe this nonsense?
?
What surprised the four of them was that after their leader, Taoist Zhunti and Taoist Jieyin, looked at each other for a long time, they actually looked thoughtful and remained silent.
During the Battle of Quanrong, Taoist Master Zhunti secretly captured Sun Quan. However, seeing that he had extraordinary talents and was afraid of Yuanshi Tianzun, he deliberately showed favor and indulgence to him. However, he secretly promised that if there were any difficulties in explaining the teaching, he would be available at any time.
If you come to the West to teach, you will be treated favorably.
Only the parties involved, Zhunti and Wei Liusun, knew about this matter. Now that Zhang Zixing listed Wei Liusun as the future Buddha among the three Buddhas, his mind couldn't help but become more active. While listening, the Taoist guide and Zhun were in a state of immortal consciousness.
The tutors exchanged opinions, and their faces gradually became serious.
Zhang Zixing added: "Although I was lucky enough to get a glimpse of the sky, the Tao is impermanent. The number of deaths and calamities now can also affect the future, and it is not fixed. Your religion has done something for itself in the past, which has hindered the destiny. If things don't change, the future will be in trouble.
Things may change. It is necessary to examine nature, human beings and the two forces, and implement a 'parallel strategy' to lay a solid foundation for future prosperity."
Taoist Zhunti asked: "My fellow Taoist, what is the strategy of 'parallel action'?"
Zhang Zixing listened to his very polite question and knew that he had taken his words very seriously. He also made a stern expression and said: "The parallel strategy is to simultaneously plan for the power of man and nature. Harmony is the power of man.
The two leaders of the church should try to recruit those people whom I just mentioned just now as soon as possible to meet the number of future Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. This is the best opportunity, and it cannot be missed. It will never come back. As for the power of heaven and earth, I have a few here.
I don’t know whether to say something or not.”
The Taoist who led the way said, "Fellow Taoist, please speak frankly."
Zhang Zixing said: "I once ventured to have a glimpse of the general trend of the future, but it was extremely vague. Originally, the way of heaven was that the Great Shang Dynasty would be exhausted, and the Western Zhou Dynasty would be prosperous, enjoying the national destiny for 800 years. However, more than ten years ago, the general trend of the way of heaven changed suddenly, and the great Shang Dynasty was in danger.
The phenomenon of prosperity and decline was due to the sudden changes in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, the poor Taoist people finally chose to help the big merchants. Now, although Ji Fa forced himself to raise an army and rebelled, he was unlucky and the people were unlucky. This 'good time' may not be in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
On the one hand, if the two leaders agree with Pindao’s views and want to change... I will immediately go to Chaoge to meet the emperor and explain this matter. The emperor will definitely change his mind, change his policy of suppressing Western religions, and grant permission to all parts of the Central Plains
Build temples and spread the teachings freely to promote the sect. But if you choose this option, you should not take any chances, or try to make a good relationship by playing both sides... I wonder what the two saints want?"
Zhang Zixing’s idea for the future of Dashang is that the sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great. When the prosperous age of a hundred schools of thought is restored, having one more Buddhism will not be a problem. Of course, this is only a preliminary idea, and it depends on the battle of the gods.
Regardless of the final result, if the Western Zhou Dynasty won, then this idea would be meaningless.
When Taoist Jie Yin and Taoist Zhunti heard "Hehe", they still nodded secretly, but when they heard "Tianshi" proposed the time, they were completely unexpected, and they were silent for a while: support Dashi? In
Are temples built in China and the teachings spread?
This condition is indeed extremely tempting, and even Lian Yin and Zhunti cannot ignore it. However, because the Six Saints of Zixiao Palace calculated the great prosperity of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Jingyin and Zhunti were among them. The destruction of Shang and Zhou Xing was calculated personally, and
It was affirmed by all the saints, so I believed it without any doubt. Now Xiaoyaozi certainly made a sound statement, including the positions of the previous Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and the strategy of "harmony", which made the two saints' hearts beat. If the six saints had not planned the events of the Western Zhou Dynasty, they would have
But he agreed without hesitation. But at present, the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Great Shang Dynasty have become antagonistic. Although the Great Shang Dynasty has the upper hand, their strength is finally exhausted. What's more, the Chan Sect has taken the lead in the affairs of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Western Sect has fallen behind.
If you have taken a step forward, you cannot make any more "principled" mistakes.
The ownership of the royal power in the human world does not mean much to each religion. Taking advantage of this massacre to compete for luck is the most important issue. The Jie religion is obviously on the side of the great merchants. Even if the celestial numbers change, the Western religion
According to Xiaoyaozi's suggestion, work together with Jie Jiao to defeat Chan Jiao and protect Shang. With the power of Western Sect, how can we compete with "giants" like Jie Jiao in the future?
The best way at the moment is to follow the "number of days" and join forces with Chanjiao to fight against Jiejiao, the biggest enemy. Besides, compared with Jiejiao, Chanjiao is a much easier competitor to deal with. In addition, what Xiaoyaozi just said
With the right people and strategies, Western religion is likely to be the ultimate winner.
Taoist Jie Yin and Taoist Zhunti both had general ideas. After exchanging opinions with each other, Jie Yin said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for telling me such a major secret. It's just the last thing, but it's a matter of great consideration."
Zhang Zixing saw the Taoist's attitude and did not give up. He lobbied for a long time, but in the end he could not persuade the two saints, so he had to sigh secretly.
The Taoist who led the way said: "Whether it is in terms of root cultivation or mental knowledge, you are a great talent that is unique among all people, and you also have the miraculous ability to peer into the future. If you miss such a genius today,
, it is really a regret in my life as a disciple. As I said before, do you really no longer think about joining the religion?"
Zhang Zixing shook his head: "The leader is so kind, I can only apologize deeply. Today I dare to make a bet with the leader. If you really don't agree with me, I have nothing to say. I will become a disciple of the two saints. If I win by luck,
I also hope that the leader will give me those two lotus seeds for rebirth."
Taoist Jie Yin looked at him with interest and said, "I wonder how you want to bet on the game?"
Zhang Zixing said: "I have some knowledge of escape techniques. Can you please ask the leader to designate a formation? If I can escape in the formation, I will win; if I cannot escape, I will be defeated. How about that?"
When Taoist Zhunti and Taoist Jieyin heard about such a condition, they couldn't help but ponder: Xiaoyaozi's bet is indeed very simple. Western religions also have several formations, such as Buddha's Light Barrier, Hengsha Formation, etc., but this Xiaoyaozi is different.
Although Fan Xiang claims to have some skills in escaping, he must have other miraculous abilities. This person possesses the upper-level realm of the Golden Immortal and has superb methods. It is said that he has experienced many battles and is definitely not comparable to ordinary immortals. If the Five Great Ming Kings are still there, he can
Shi Jingang's wrathful formation will surely trap Xiaoyaozi. But now that two of the five Ming Kings have lost their lives, and only two of the Eight Tribes are left, they cannot form an formation.
If Jie Yin and Zhunti took action in person, no matter how powerful Xiaoyaozi was, they would have to admit defeat. But Xiaoyaozi made it clear from the beginning that he was asking Jie Yin to "designate" a formation, not to single out a certain person. Even so.
It was a one-on-one challenge to win over, and Zhunti's status as a saint couldn't be ashamed to personally attack a golden immortal on such an occasion. What's more, they wanted Xiaoyaozi to truly return to his heart and "join the gang", so they wanted him to
Take it heartily.
Taoist Jie Yin secretly thought: The lotus seeds of the past life are extremely precious and cannot be compared with ordinary elixirs and elixirs. The most important thing is that if they can win, Xiaoyaozi can become a member of the Western Sect. This battle can be won but not defeated... Considering Xiaoyao
He is a man of erudition and is very likely to be proficient in the mysteries of formations. Ordinary formations must be difficult to trap, so why not use the twelve-level lotus platform?
Although this is somewhat suspected of bullying the small, it is indeed within the conditions mentioned by Xiaoyaozi, and it can also guarantee a sure victory. The Twelve-Rank Lotus Platform is an innate spiritual treasure and can be called the strongest defense in the world.
, if Xiaoyaozi is trapped by the twelfth-grade lotus formation, no matter how proficient he is in the formation, his cultivation level is only that of a golden immortal. In the face of such an absolute power gap, he will definitely not be able to escape.
When Taoist Yingyin proposed to use the twelve-grade lotus formation as a bet, even Taoist Zhunti couldn't help but look strange, let alone the stunned King Sanming and others - if Xiaoyaozi was a saint, this wouldn't be enough.
Strange; even a top-level Xuanxian can barely make sense; but he is just a mere Golden Immortal, and the Saint of the Labor Cult uses a twelve-level lotus platform! This is too "high regard" for Xiaoyaozi!
When Zhang Zixing heard Taoist Jieyin's suggestion, he couldn't help but be startled and smiled bitterly. Taoist Jieyin was a little embarrassed when he saw him silent, and said: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, I will not use any magical power to control the twelve-level lotus platform, no matter what
Fellow Taoist, whatever method or magic weapon you use, as long as you escape from the lotus platform, I will be considered defeated."
Zhang Zixing knew how powerful the Twelve-Rank Lotus Formation was and quickly shook his head: "Is the saint joking? How can I escape the power of the Twelve-Rank Lotus Formation with my level of cultivation?"
At this moment, a boy came in and reported: "To report to the two saints, there are three people who call themselves the Three Friends of Huoyun Cave and are seeking an audience at the foot of the mountain."
An unexpected surprise occurred between Jie Yin and Zhunti Dajue: Three Friends of Fire Cloud Cave? These three holy emperors have no contact with Western religions. What is the purpose of coming to the Paradise of Paradise today?
Although the three emperors were not saints, they still had a high status. They did not dare to be rude when receiving the guests, so they ordered the three great Ming kings to go down the mountain and welcome the three emperors up the mountain.
When Zhang Zixing heard that the Three Emperors were coming, he was secretly happy: He came at the right time...
The three emperors were introduced into the Main Hall by the three Ming kings, and they saluted: "See the two saints."
Jieyin and Zhunti stood up and returned the courtesy. When Fuxi saw Zhang Zixing, he looked surprised and asked, "Fellow Taoist Xiaoyao, why are you here?"
Zhang Zixing saluted and said: "I have seen the three Holy Emperors. The poor Taoist desires the lotus seeds of the afterlife, and is daring to bet with the Holy Emperor."
Shennong was shocked and said: "My Taoist friends brought two Taoist companions to Huoyun Cave that day to ask me to save them. Unfortunately, those souls were seriously injured. With my medical skills, I can only cure the symptoms but not the root cause. I didn't expect that my Taoist friends would come here."
Asking for help. The miraculous effect of using lotus seeds to attract saints to the reincarnations will definitely work in one fell swoop. However, the lotus seeds for the reincarnations were conceived on the lotus platform of the twelfth grade of innate spiritual treasures. It is said that only six of them can be obtained in hundreds of millions of years. They are too precious, I'm afraid...
"
When Zhang Zixing and Kong Xuan went to Huoyun Cave that day, they asked Shennong for advice on how to cure Sanxiao, but Shennong was helpless. Since the Golden Jiaojian and Hunyuan Jindou were sacrifices to Sanxiao's mind, Yuanshi Tianzun
The three treasure jade Ruyi is extremely powerful. On the surface, the damage to the two magic weapons is not very serious, but in fact it was severely damaged by the dark energy of the power of chaos. Therefore, Sanxiao's soul was seriously injured that is almost irreparable. Unless
It is an innate spiritual creature like the Lotus Seed of Rebirth. Otherwise, even if the leader of Tongtian Cult comes out of seclusion, he will not be able to restore the three girls. Today, Zhang Zixing used this reason to bring up the matter of the Lotus Seed of Rebirth, and a large part of the reason is for Sanxiao.
Zhang Zixing saw that Shennong had deliberately asked such a question, and responded wisely: "Because of this, I bet on joining the Western religion and compete with the Holy Spirit to guide me. If I lose, I will join the Western religion; if I win by luck, I can
The sage gave me the lotus seeds."
Zhunti and Wei were slightly surprised when they saw that Zhang Zixing seemed to be familiar with the Three Emperors. Then they heard from Shennong that he was in urgent need of the lotus seeds from the past to save the Taoist companions. Their original doubts about Xiaoyaozi's motive for gambling were greatly reduced.
Huang Di frowned and asked: "With your level of cultivation, you are just a golden immortal. How can you be capable of gambling and fighting with a saint?"
Zhang Zixing replied: "I know that my cultivation level is low, but I have done some research on formations, so I am bold and want to learn the mysterious formations of Western teachings as a bet."
Fu Xi showed a look of surprise: "So that's the case. My fellow Taoist's profound knowledge of formations is unparalleled in the world. Even I am ashamed of myself. No wonder! No wonder!"
The Second Sage of the Western Sect was greatly surprised to hear that even Fuxi, who was the most proficient in the art of Qimen Bagua, admitted that he was no match for Xiaoyaozi in terms of formations. On the contrary, he was somewhat thankful for his decision to use the 12th-grade Lotus Formation.
Fuxi did not ask any more questions, and smiled at the two sages of the Western Sect: "Two saints, this Xiaoyaozi is someone whom the sage of Bajing Palace values and is also an old friend of the three of us. Therefore, I am rude and ask for your forgiveness. Today I
I took the liberty of visiting you just to borrow something from you two."
Before accepting the Taoist, I had heard Zhang Zixing talk about discussing Taoism with the sage Lao Tzu, and he also had personal experience with Taoist Zhunti. Now I heard the three emperors mentioning that he is "a person valued by the saint of Bajing Palace", so naturally
I firmly believe that Xiaoyaozi has a wide network of friends, including the Holy Emperors of the Three Emperors. If he can really join the Western Sect, he will be a key figure in the great development of this Sect.
Thinking of this, the Taoist leader was much more determined to recruit Zhang Zixing into the religion, but he asked with a smile on his face: "I wonder what you three want to borrow?"
Zhang Zixing on the side also pricked up his ears to hear what Fuxi wanted to borrow: This Holy Emperor is good at everything, but he likes to tell the truth. He beat around the bush in Huoyun Cave that day and refused to explain clearly, which was very off-putting.
.
Fuxi did not mince words and said directly: "The three of us would like to borrow your teaching's innate wonder for use. Although this is presumptuous, I still ask the two saints to agree."
Innate wonder? Zhang Zixing wondered: Is there such a thing? Why haven’t I heard of it?
When the Taoist priest heard the words "innate wonders", he immediately frowned and said: "It's not that I am stingy, it's just that... the three holy emperors also know about that thing... alas..."
Fuxi seemed to have expected the receptionist's attitude, and said: "We also know that this request is too abrupt. If the saint is willing to lend me, I will use the river map as a mortgage. What does the saint mean?"
When Jie Yin heard the word "He Tu", a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he still shook his head and said nothing, presumably because he agreed with Jie Yin's decision.
Fuxi saw such a resolute attitude in accepting the invitation, and sighed: "I have already obtained that thing from the Wa Palace. How could I be like this fellow Taoist Xiaoyaozi and invite the saint to have a gambling match with the three of me? The winner will be the same."
How about getting two things?"
When Jie Yin and Zhunti heard that Fu Xi had actually obtained "that thing" from Wa Palace, they couldn't help but be moved.
The Taoist leader looked thoughtful and asked, "What are the intentions of your three majesties in doing this?"
Fuxi smiled and said: "This is a secret from heaven, and should not be talked about lightly. I wonder what the leader thinks of the bet?"
Taoist Zhunti said: "Brother Taoist, the two things were originally one. If they become one now, it is only natural. I can't help but agree to His Majesty the Holy Emperor."
When Taoist Jie Yin heard what Taoist Zhunti said, he really coveted the things in Wa Palace. He nodded and said: "In that case, it will be according to the wishes of the three majesties. I wonder how your majesties want to bet?"
Zhang Zixing listened to the introduction, and Zhunti was also very interested in "that object", and he was very puzzled: both sides are so mysterious, what exactly is that innate strange object?
