Chapter 86: The Great Change of Heaven and Earth, the Taoist Ancestor summoned him [please ask for monthly tickets, please give me rewards]

But the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit could not bear the "soft knife" of Sakyamuni Buddha, so she directly told the bottom line in her heart, and at the same time she also revealed some secrets. Sakyamuni Buddha thought about it for several years, but he agreed to the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit. Then, the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit and Liu Er and others went back to Dongsheng Shenzhou with the small demons on the Lion Camel Ridge. Sakyamuni Buddha first gave Sun Wukong some instructions, sent him away, then turned to everyone and said, "In this way, let's go back to the Pure Land."

When everyone heard this, they naturally had no objection. Then they put away the bodies of the Buddhists and flew towards the west with Sakyamuni Buddha. Only Guanyin Bodhisattva refused Sakyamuni Buddha's intention and returned to the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea.

After Sakyamuni Buddha and Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta and others rushed back to the West, Sakyamuni Buddha immediately arranged for the poor monks and others to go down and rest, and he himself would invite the ancient Buddha Lanting to discuss matters tomorrow.

Not long after, the ancient Buddha of Lan Deng had arrived, and Sakyamuni Buddha invited him to a secret room. After sitting down, Sakyamuni Buddha told him about everything on the Lion Camel Ridge to the ancient Buddha of Lan Deng, and finally asked: "I wonder what the ancient Buddha has to say about this?"

The Ancient Buddha of Randeng frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "The Buddha's resolution did indeed agree with the situation at that time. With the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, my teachings would not be able to take advantage of it even if I started to take action. But in this way, my Buddhism not only lost my face, but also lost many disciples of the disciples, which was not good for the great fortune!" After that, the Ancient Buddha of Randeng looked at Sakyamuni Buddha with some concern.

Sakyamuni Buddha nodded and said, "What the ancient Buddha said was very much, but I had no choice but to do anything at that time. If I started, I would say that my disciples would fall a few more times, so I endured it." After a pause, I continued, "Besides, there was something in the words of the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit, and I also had some guesses, but I didn't know if it was correct."

When the ancient Buddha Randeng heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then asked, "What are the Buddha's guesses?"

Sakyamuni Buddha lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "The Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit is saying that soon, disciples will become more important than spiritual treasures. It was after hearing this that the monk made up his mind to let this time save his disciples. The monk guessed that something big would happen soon, so the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit would say this." After that, a shiny light flashed in Sakyamuni Buddha's eyes, and "big events" naturally meant great benefits, but this made Sakyamuni Buddha very moved.

After hearing the words of Shakyamuni Buddha, the ancient Buddha of Randeng was not as optimistic as he did. After thinking for a while, he said worriedly: "But if this matter was a false news deliberately released by the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit, wouldn't we be in vain?"

Shakyamuni Buddha smiled and said, "The ancient Buddha does not have to worry. The poor monk's calculating skills may not be as good as the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, but it is this turn to distinguish right from wrong, but the poor monk may not lose to her."

When Lan Deng Ancient Buddha heard this, he glanced at Sakyamuni Buddha with doubt. No wonder Lan Deng Ancient Buddha suspected that if Sakyamuni Buddha could really distinguish right from wrong, then how could he be deceived by the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit? It was just a mere "dilemma", which made Buddhism lose all its face, and now even the disciples have suffered heavy losses.

When Shakyamuni Buddha saw the expression of the ancient Buddha Randeng, he thought about it for a moment and realized his thoughts. He immediately coughed awkwardly and said, "The Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit did not lie in the previous incident. She did send me a dilemma to teach me. The subsequent incident may have been thought of afterwards." After that, he looked at the ancient Buddha Randeng with some embarrassment.

After hearing the words of Sakyamuni, the ancient Buddha Randeng raised his eyebrows and said to himself: "That's true. At that time, he thought that the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit was just a bargaining chip to make me agree with the 'thirty-six number'. Who would have expected that he would be tampering in this 'dual'! Moreover, what Sakyamuni said was not bad, maybe the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit was really plotted later."

Thinking of this, the ancient Buddha Lan Deng was sure, then looked at Sakyamuni Buddha and asked, "Since the Buddha is so confident, then I wonder what the Buddha's plan for this matter?"

Sakyamuni Buddha smiled slightly and said, "Since the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit said that disciples will be more important than spiritual treasures, then we will open the mountain gate and recruit disciples to deal with future affairs. I wonder what the ancient Buddha thought?"

The ancient Buddha of Randeng frowned and said with some concern: "But the Buddha did not agree to the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit. I teach no more than 10,000 disciples. If you accept disciples in such a large amount, how could the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit give up?"

A glimmer of light flashed in Shakyamuni Buddha's eyes and he smiled and said, "Ten Thousands of People are enough. The ancient Buddha thought that the man, Chan and Jie, could have many disciples?"

When Lan Deng Ancient Buddha heard this, his eyes lit up, then he smiled slightly and said, "These three religions together are probably less than 10,000 people." Lan Deng Ancient Buddha understood in his heart that it was impossible for Laozi and the two of them to accept too many disciples, especially Laozi. To date, there are only one disciple of Master Xuandu, and there are not many registered disciples, only Changmei and only a few Eight Immortals. The influence of Master Xuandu and others have not accepted more disciples. Naturally, they cannot be compared with Buddhism.

As for the Primitive Heavenly Lord, he valued his background too much and could not accept disciples. His disciples were all arrogant and looked down on people who were different from other people who had attained enlightenment. However, the prestige of the sect in the human race was limited and he received not many disciples in the human race. How could there be so many disciples?

The remaining Jie Sect is unlikely. Although the Tongtian Sect Master has no different teachings, he has fewer disciples than the Primitive Heavenly Lord (personally passed on the disciples). If it weren't for the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit and others, and had accepted many disciples, Jie Sect might be worse than the Shan Sect.

Therefore, even if people work harder and intercept the three religions, it is probably impossible to surpass Buddhism in terms of number of people.

After hearing the words of the ancient Buddha Lan Deng, Shakyamuni Buddha nodded and smiled, "No, right! The other three religions cannot surpass my religion in terms of number of people. Even if my religion maintains the status quo, it will not be possible to no longer recruit disciples. In this way, if the Holy Mother Turtle Spirit says seriously, then my religion will definitely be prosperous." In the end, Shakyamuni Buddha was already overjoyed and his face was full of smiles.

The ancient Buddha Lan Deng also chuckled, then lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Since the Buddha has made a decision, I won't say much. The Buddha should do it with confidence, and I will definitely help you with all my strength."

When Shakyamuni Buddha heard this, he waved his hand and said, "I am asking the ancient Buddha to come this time because I want to hear the ancient Buddha's opinions. I wonder if the ancient Buddha thinks that our teaching is good for the time being? Or should I open the mountain gate immediately and recruit disciples?"

When Lan Deng Ancient Buddha heard this, he frowned and then began to lower his head and think.

After a while, the ancient Buddha of Landeng looked up at Sakyamuni Buddha and said, "In the opinion of the monk, it is better for us to maintain the status quo for the time being. The Buddha also knew that soon it would be the time when the heavenly way would grow. Naturally, we should not let our disciples miss such a great opportunity. But if we recruit disciples at this time, it would probably be delayed. Moreover, maintaining the status quo can also make the people of the Jie Cult relax their vigilance against our teachings, but they will kill two birds with one stone. I wonder what the Buddha thought?"

After hearing the words of the ancient Buddha Lan Deng, Sakyamuni Buddha was overjoyed and said, "What the ancient Buddha said is very good, and I also think it is so good." After a pause, he said with some concern: "But he heard the words of the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit, it seems that the 'this' situation will occur in the next kalpa, so I was a little hesitant." After that, his face was full of sadness.

When Lan Deng Ancient Buddha saw Shakyamuni Buddha with a sad face, he smiled and said, "Why should the Buddha be worried? According to the poor monk, this was the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit deliberately misleading the Buddha. You must know that no matter how the three religions develop, the number of people cannot exceed my religion. In this way, why should the Buddha be anxious for a moment? The Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit thought that he could see this point clearly, and then he specifically pointed out that it would make my disciples lose this opportunity." After that, Lan Deng Ancient Buddha looked at Shakyamuni Buddha with a confident look on his face.

It has to be said that the ancient Buddha of Lan Deng was keen. The reason why the Holy Mother Turtle Spirit set the time as the next catastrophe was made was this plan. Because the Holy Mother Turtle Spirit and others were preparing for the growth of the heavenly way soon, they could not be distracted from accepting disciples. In this way, the Holy Mother Turtle Spirit planned to make Buddhism miss this opportunity. Even if there are many disciples in Buddhism, if their cultivation level cannot keep up, the gap between them is still very small.

At this moment, when Shakyamuni Buddha heard the words of the ancient Buddha Lan Deng, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said happily: "What the ancient Buddha said is reasonable, and the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit may really have this intention. Since that is the case, then we will do our best to prepare for the growth of the way of heaven and let us talk about other things later." After a pause, he smiled and said, "And, after this, the matter of Journey to the West has settled. We don't need to be distracted by this, we just prepared for this."

When Lan Deng Ancient Buddha heard this, he smiled and nodded.

After that, the Ancient Buddha of Randeng did not return to his temple and stayed directly in the Pure Land, either discussing the Tao or practicing with Sakyamuni Buddha.

....................................................

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed.

At this time, the four masters and disciples of Tang Sanzang had obtained the true scriptures, and the Journey to the West was concluded. The four masters and disciples of Tang Sanzang were also enfeoffed by Shakyamuni Buddha. Among them, Tang Sanzang was named Sanzang's Merit Buddha, Sun Wukong was named the Buddha of Fighting and War, Zhu Bajie was named the envoy of the Pure Orb, Sha Wujing was named the Golden Arhat, and the White Dragon Horse was named the Eight Heavenly Dragons.

However, although Zhu Bajie was granted a title, he did not stay in the West. Instead, he turned to Shouyang Mountain and went to Master Xuandu to report to Master Xuandu. Sha Wujing was persuaded by Guanyin Bodhisattva and officially rebeled from the Abhidharma and became a Buddhist disciple.

This time, Buddhism has gained a lot of benefits. Not to mention other things, the merits obtained after Journey to the West were enough to make Buddhists laugh. Guanyin Bodhisattva even used this merit to kill evil corpses and become the fourth Buddhist master to kill two corpses. The first three are naturally Shakyamuni Buddha, the ancient Buddha of the Lantern, and the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha.

Maitreya Buddha, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva were all jealous when they saw that Guanyin Bodhisattva had this opportunity. They all regretted why they did not take charge of Journey to the West and lost this opportunity in vain. They really regretted it.

In addition, after the Buddhist scriptures were spread eastward, many people in the southern continent began to believe in Buddhism. Moreover, Shakyamuni Buddha also used a method to combine a total of forty sutras into thirty-six sections and pass it on to Tang Sanzang. In this way, although the Buddhist doctrine is still incomplete, it is better than the mere thirty-six sections.

After a century of development, the number of Buddhist believers in the Nanzhan Continent gradually increased, and they began to stand together with the People's Education and the Analogy. Buddhism finally came true, breaking out of the barren Xiniu Hezhou and began to extend its power to the Nanzhan Continent.

Although the two religions of the Chinese and the Chinese have been dissatisfied with this, they have also used their local advantages to suppress Buddhism many times. However, the power of Buddhism has been established, and the continuous flow of Buddhist disciples from Xiniu Hezhou to the Nanzhan Continent made Buddhism more popular than others. The two religions of the Chinese and the Chinese religions of the Chinese have no choice but to do so. After suppressing for a while, they turned a blind eye to the existence of Buddhism.

Since then, the three-legged sect in the Southern Continent began to form a three-legged sect, with the three religions of man, anatomy and Buddha coexisting.

On this day, the earth immortal world was as calm as before, and the waves were calm and the growth of the heavenly way was getting closer and closer. Many monks were preparing for this. Therefore, the earth immortal world was very calm. Only a few people visited relatives and friends and wandered around.

Suddenly, there was a loud "boom" sound, and many monks from the Earth Immortal Realm were confused when they heard this. But before they could think about what happened, they felt a shaking wave in the four continents, especially the monks in Beijuluzhou, who felt a dizzy sound, and the roar was endless.

At the same time, the saints who were in chaos also had a slight response. The saints who were originally practicing hard frown when they saw this situation, and then released their spiritual consciousness and explored to the earthly world to see what happened.

When they saw that even everyone had the cultivation of a saint, they were all shocked. But in the chaos outside of Beijuluzhou, there was a continent connected with Beijuluzhou, and the two gradually began to merge. The vastness of this continent is unimaginable, and it is actually much larger than Beijuluzhou. However, the saints discovered that there is no creature in this continent yet.

Seeing this situation, all the saints were overjoyed, and even if they were Tongtian, they were inexplicably surprised.

"If you can occupy this continent and develop your own sect, why worry about the lack of luck in the great sect?" The holy people thought secretly.

After thinking about it, everyone showed a sure-fire expression, and then they were about to recruit their respective disciples to come, intending to make a fortune to enter this continent and gain the advantage.

Unfortunately, before the saints could act, the changes regenerate.

"Wait and come to Zixiao Palace quickly. I have something to give you." This voice sounded in the ears of the holy people in an instant.

After hearing this eternal voice that ignored the world, the saints were shocked. They were all familiar with this voice, it was the voice of Taoist ancestor Hongjun.

"This is not a great disaster in heaven and earth. What will happen if the Taoist ancestors are involved in each other?" The saints couldn't help but think of the strange situation in Beijuluzhou, and the saints immediately realized that such a big thing happened in Beijuluzhou, the Taoist ancestors who were in charge of the heavenly way naturally knew that it must be for this matter to call them to go.

Thinking of this, the saints were sure of it, and then they stood up one after another, left their own temples, and rushed towards Zixiao Palace...
