Chapter 45: What is a saint? On the first court of Babel]

Chapter 45: What is a saint? The first person in the world [please subscribe, on the court]

However, Zhen Yuanzi and Sun Wukong were sitting on the masters of the Three Realms. At the beginning, Zhen Yuanzi was very disdainful of Sun Wukong's ignorance. But after talking for a long time, he found that Sun Wukong was quite good in character, so he put away his contempt and explained it to Sun Wukong in detail. The few people talked deeper and deeper, and they gradually touched the saint. Finally, when Zhen Yuanzi talked about the Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation, he mentioned the name of Tongtian. After hearing this, Sun Wukong hurriedly asked.

When Zhen Yuanzi saw Sun Wukong ask, he was a little hesitant, thinking that the Buddha Mother of Cundi had never mentioned these secrets to Sun Wukong, and maybe there was a deep meaning. He said so much today, and he might have offended the Buddha Mother of Cundi. If even the saints said it, the Buddha Mother of Cundi would take action immediately. Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should tell Sun Wukong these secrets.

In fact, the fact that the Buddha Mother of Cundi did not tell these secrets with Sun Wukong was indeed profound. You should know that although Sun Wukong was not born for a long time, his nature was extremely arrogant. The Buddha Mother of Cundi was afraid that he would have a blow to Sun Wukong, so he was secretly unreliable. However, Zhen Yuanzi did not have to worry about this at this time. After being suppressed by Sakyamuni Buddha under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years, Sun Wukong had a lot of tempering his temperament. In addition, his arrogance was no longer as blind and arrogant as before.

Therefore, even if Zhen Yuanzi said anything, Zhunti Buddha Mother would not blame him.

At this time, when Sun Wukong saw Zhen Yuanzi hesitating, he was very surprised and asked, "Why didn't Taoist Master say it? Could it be that this Tongtian Sect Master is an amazing person?" When he said this, Sun Wukong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized it, and said, "The Taoist Master seemed to have said before that the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and others were the seated disciples of the Tongtian Sect Master. It turned out that this Tongtian Sect Master was their master! Even if his disciple was so powerful, he thought that this master would be extraordinary."

After hearing Sun Wukong's words, Zhen Yuanzi measured it in his heart, and finally said truthfully: "This Tongtian Sect Master is a saint, and he is extraordinary."

When Sun Wukong heard this, he was slightly stunned and asked, "Sage? Who is the saint?"

Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Sun Wukong indifferently and replied, "The saint is a realm for us monks, and it is also the highest realm."

When Sun Wukong heard this, he hurriedly continued to ask: "Who have cultivated the realm of a saint? Who are they?"

After hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi lowered his head and thought, "Since you have already said it, what else should I worry about? Let's just tell it all." Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzi felt certain and said, "From ancient times to the present, there have been eight powerful people who have cultivated the realm of saints, but one of them finally conforms to the heavenly way. Therefore, there are only seven saints now. They are Laozi, the leader of the People's Cult, the leader of the Ancient Sect, the leader of the Jie Sect, the leader of the Heavenly Heaven, the leader of the Buddhist Sect, Amitabha Buddha, Cunti Buddha Mother, and the Empress Houtu and Nuwa."

When Sun Wukong heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "I didn't expect that there were two saints in my Buddhism. It seems that the largest sect in the Three Realms will be my Buddhist soon." After that, Sun Wukong was already overjoyed and scratched his head.

When Zhu Bajie saw this, he curled his lips disdainfully and thought to himself: "The greatest sect in the Three Realms? Let's be your dream of spring and autumn! The leader of my sect is the first disciple of the Taoist ancestor, the eldest brother of the saints, but he was beaten to the tragic death of the Jie Sect? Just because you are still trying to be the first in the barbarian religion, you are simply overestimating yourself." Although he was thinking this way, he never showed any of it on his face, just looking honest.

Zhen Yuanzi was a little disdainful when he heard Sun Wukong's words. Although he had never seen a war between the saints, based on some clues he had obtained, and the power of the Jie Sect now, it was easy to guess the strength of the saints. Moreover, it was not only his Buddhism that he had two saints. Tongtian and Houtu had a deep brother-sister relationship, and the two of them were in charge of Jie Sect. Although Laozi and the two of them had two sects, they had always had a good relationship and did not distinguish between each other. Therefore, they were also a group of people.

After counting this, six of the seven saints of the prehistoric world were joined by each other and belonged to three major forces, only Nuwa and Niangniang were alone and had never joined anyone. In this way, the advantages of the Buddhist teachings and two saints were gone, and they were just looking for a good name.

At that moment, after Sun Wukong was proud for a while, he saw that Zhen Yuanzi didn't say a word, and asked, "Why didn't Taoist priest speak? Could it be that my old Sun was wrong?"

When Zhen Yuanzi heard this, he glanced at Zhu Bajie beside him and said, "Master Tianpeng knows very well about this. The Great Sage asks him to go." After that, he closed his eyes and meditated.

Zhu Bajie was stunned when he heard Zhen Yuanzi's words. After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly refused, but saw Zhen Yuanzi's eyes closed and he stopped talking. Seeing this, Zhu Bajie turned to Sun Wukong, but before he could speak, he heard Sun Wukong ask: "Since Bajie knows, why not say it earlier! Come and tell me quickly."

When Zhu Bajie heard this, he smiled bitterly and cursed: "Good you, Zhen Yuanzi, are so cunning. It's really outrageous to push the matter to me, the old pig!"

At this time, when Sun Wukong saw that Zhu Bajie did not say a word, he urged: "Idiot, please speak quickly!"

Zhu Bajie had no choice but to speak, "Senior brother, although there are two saints in Buddhism, they are not invincible. You should know that even saints have different strengths, and the saints are very connected to each other. In this way, the advantages of Buddhism having two saints are offset."

When Sun Wukong heard this, he frowned and asked, "The other saints are also united? Who are they united?"

Zhu Bajie lowered his head and thought for a while, and then replied: "The Human Resources and the Academic Sect have always been in good terms. The saints and the primitive saints have always been advancing and retreating together. Therefore, these two saints are considered united." When Zhu Bajie said this, he kept silently chanting in his heart, "Master, please forgive me! Master, please forgive me!", and then continued: "The Saint Tongtian and Empress Houtu are brothers and sisters, and the relationship between the two is very close. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are united. Only Empress Nuwa has been walking alone."

After listening to Zhu Bajie's narration, Sun Wukong lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said, "So that's it. No wonder I have two saints in Buddhism, and I can't become the largest sect in the Three Realms."

Zhu Bajie was immediately displeased when he heard Sun Wukong's words. Isn't Sun Wukong's words saying that if the other three religions have not united, they are not matches of Buddhism? This made Zhu Bajie teach his disciples how happy. So Zhu Bajie shouted: "Even if all the saints have not united, Buddhism will not be able to compete for the first place." After that, Zhu Bajie suddenly felt refreshed, but he immediately regretted it.

After hearing Zhu Bajie's words, Sun Wukong asked in confusion: "Why did Bajie say this? If those saints were not afraid of the two Buddhist saints, how could they unite?"

After hearing this, Zhu Bajie was furious. His regret had already been thrown away from his mind and said rudely: "There are also differences between saints. The two Buddhist saints are ranked by the latter among all saints. Amitabha is better. Then the Mother of Cundi can be said to be the last of all saints. Even if other saints do not unite, the two Buddhist saints will find it difficult to gain the upper hand."

When Sun Wukong heard this, he felt very unhappy, but he knew that his knowledge was not as good as Zhu Bajie, so he had to bear it silently.

After pondering for a while, Sun Wukong asked again: "How do these saints rank the strengths?"

When Zhu Bajie heard this, he felt embarrassed. This was related to his ancestor, so he naturally did not dare to comment. At this moment, Zhu Bajie suddenly saw Zhen Yuanzi sitting with his eyes closed and his eyes lit up. Then he turned to Sun Wukong and said, "Senior Brother, I, the old pig, don't know about this, but Master Zhen Yuan is knowledgeable and must know." After that, he looked at Zhen Yuanzi with gloating expressions.

Zhen Yuanzi was shocked when he heard Zhu Bajie's words. He knew that Zhu Bajie must have revenge on his plan to cause trouble to the east. He was about to refuse, but when he heard Sun Wukong ask: "I'll ask the Taoist priest for advice."

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi was very helpless and said, "I don't know much about this. The Great Sage should leave it to the future, but ask others."

Sun Wukong waved his hand and said, "You must be polite, Taoist priest, you only need to say what you know. Even if there is any error, I, Lao Sun, will not blame you."

When Zhen Yuanzi heard this, he was speechless and said in his mind: "What 'error'! What 'blame'! If I talk about these, wouldn't I offend all the saints?" Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzi shook his head firmly and said: "Great Sage, I really don't know that the Great Sage is a Buddhist. I will meet the two Buddhist saints in the future. I can ask them at that time, so why bother to hurry up?"

After hearing this, Sun Wukong ignored it and continued, "I am not a fool! I am a Taoist master who has just said and done something, obviously knowing what he said, but why don't he tell me Lao Sun? Now only four of us are present. Although my two junior brothers cannot be regarded as people who keep their mouths tight, they are not as gossiping like those long-tongued wives. If you speak out like this and you will never be heard by the fifth person, what are the concerns about the Taoist master?"

After hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi cursed in his heart: "How could you, monkey, know the supernatural powers of a saint?" So he made up his mind and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong had to use the entanglement method again, which made Zhen Yuanzi very annoyed. In the end, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't be entangled and stammered: "I can only tell you that the seven saints seem to be the strongest leader of Tongtian Sect, and I can't say anything else." After that, Zhen Yuanzi closed his eyes again and made up his mind to ignore Sun Wukong.

After hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, Sun Wukong murmured, "Tongtian Sect? Jie Sect? Jie Sect. Tongtian Sect?" As he said that, Sun Wukong seemed to have a sudden realization and said, "So that's it. No wonder Jie Sect is the best in the Three Realms, has the strongest saints, and has so many powerful disciples. The best in the Three Realms is also the best." After that, Sun Wukong looked at Zhen Yuanzi and wanted to ask questions again, but saw that Zhen Yuanzi had closed his eyes and said nothing.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong was unwilling to bother him. As the saying goes, it is okay, but if he continues to bother him, it will definitely make Zhen Yuanzi unhappy. Sun Wukong is not very good at Zhen Yuanzi, the person who solves his doubts, so he is unwilling to make things difficult for him. After thinking for a while, he said, "Master, don't be like this. My old son promises that I will not ask you about the saint anymore. Let's talk about something else."

After hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi slowly opened his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Great Sage, saints are not something we can talk about at will. Only saints can discuss saints, but we are disrespectful to saints. Others are fine, but some topics are too sensitive, so we should not touch on them."

When Sun Wukong heard this, he frowned. He was about to say something, but he saw Zhen Yuanzi looking at him with a embarrassed look. Seeing this, Sun Wukong sighed in his heart and nodded, "Since the Taoist priest said this, I, Sun, will naturally not force others to do anything. Let me talk about something else."
