Early the next morning.
Qin Yao took Jin Guang to Emperor Fengdu to return the letter, and then opened the dimensional door outside the palace gate, traveling through time and space directly to the fairyland of Lingshan.
Because the day after tomorrow is the succession ceremony, Lingshan is now decorated with lights and colorful flowers, and many monks and Buddhas are in a hurry, each busy with the things assigned by the above.
Seeing that there were many people around and they were coming and going in a hurry, Qin Yao subconsciously held Jin Guangyu's hand, pulled her to blend in with the crowd, and walked step by step towards Daleiyin Temple.
The Daleiyin Temple is also being renovated. Beautiful lotus pedestals have been moved in and placed in different locations according to the plan.
There is an aisle in the middle of the hall, and at the end of the aisle is a golden lotus platform that is many times larger than other lotus platforms. It is the main seat at a glance.
At this moment, the two saints Jieyin and Zhunti, as well as Sakyamuni, who is about to succeed the Lord of Lingshan, are standing in front of the golden lotus platform, exchanging something with each other.
Seeing how devoted they were, Qin Yao was embarrassed to interrupt, so he thought about taking Jin Guang around Lingshan first.
However, as soon as he turned around, Zhunti's shout rang out from behind him: "Shen Gongbao, you are already here, why are you leaving?!"
Qin Yao once again took the Jin Guang turned around and said with a smile: "I see you are busy, so I don't want to disturb you."
While replying, he led the Taoist monks forward, nodded to Sakyamuni, and then saluted the two saints.
"Let's talk, I'll take the first step."
Jie Yin said with a solemn expression, and immediately turned into light and left without waiting for a reply.
Qin Yao slowly narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: Why does it feel like this welcoming saint doesn’t want to see him anymore?
But after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what he had to do with the other party.
Having said that, I have only had few contacts, so I have no chance to celebrate the holidays!
"Let's go out and chat. There are too many people here." At this time, Zhunti smiled slightly and said to the two juniors he valued most in front of him.
The two of them had no objection to this, so including the Golden Lady, the three of them followed him silently, turning around and around, and in a blink of an eye they came to a quiet garden that exuded a faint fragrance, and went straight to The canopied Bodhi tree in the center of the garden...
Shaoqing, Zhunti took three The person stopped under the shade of the tree, waved his hand, and four yellow futons appeared on the ground: "Sit down."
Qin Yao, Jinguang, and Sakyamuni sat cross-legged in a row. On the futon, Zhunti sat opposite them with his back against the big tree, and spoke again: "Shen Gongbao."
"Saint." Qin Yao cupped his hands.
"I have told him about your discovery of Sakyamuni." Zhunti said.
Qin Yao was slightly startled and turned to look at Sakyamuni.
Coincidentally, Sakyamuni also looked up at him.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Qin Yao said slowly: "I have observed him for a long time. He will be a good leader and will surely lead the Western religion to prosperity."
"Thank you." Shakya clasped his hands together and said softly.
At this moment, he felt very fond of the famous demon fairy in front of him, and even felt a little grateful.
Qin Yao waved his hand: "It's okay."
Looking at the scene of the two of them getting along harmoniously, a smile flashed in Zhunti's eyes, and then he said seriously: "I also want to pay tribute to Sakyamuni. He was very interested in what you said about Mahayana and Hinayana."
Qin Yao's face suddenly became strange: "Sage, is it inappropriate?"
Zhunti said: "The problem lies here. It cannot be treated as if it does not exist."
Qin Yao pondered: "In addition to the three Buddhas, Ran Deng, Manjushri, Samantabhadra and Cihang, you also How many people have been extradited from the Eastern Territory? "
In his opinion, if there are relatively few outsiders from the Eastern Territory, there is nothing to worry about. Mahayana and Hinayana can be distinguished by doctrines, not disciples. property.
Zhunti said: "My senior brother and I worked together and collected probably more than two thousand."
"How much?" Qin Yao's eyes widened suddenly, with a look of shock on his face.
He knew that Zhunti had been recruiting people, but in his impression, apart from recruiting Kong Xuan, Zhuoyin didn't seem to have extradited Eastern monks much, right?
Zhunti said: "There are about 2,800 in total, of which there are more than a thousand for me and more than a thousand for Brother Jingyin."
"When did the Saint Jingyin extradite these monks?" ?" Qin Yao asked blankly.
This was too sudden, and he was even thinking about whether the other party had tricked some immortal sect into coming here?
Zhunti explained: "Do you still remember the more than a thousand demon immortals who survived in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation?"
Qin Yao understood it now, but he still had a doubt: "Those demon immortals have eaten two golden immortals. Can you let them go?"
"Senior brother will help the cause and effect in exchange. Here are more than a thousand demons and immortals," Zhunti said.
Qin Yao was silent.
With nearly 3,000 outsiders, the problem is indeed too big to face.
Sakyamuni looked at Qin Yao and said seriously: "I am going to do what you said, including changing Western religion to Buddhism.
Tomorrow after I take over, the first thing I want to announce is this. The second thing is to divide the Mahayana and Hinayana into two parts. The two parts do not command or interfere with each other, but they compete with each other and make progress in the competition. "
Qin Yao muttered: "If you do it, it will be better than me. ”
The same thing, done by different people, will inevitably lead to different results.
Jie Yin is not pleasing to the eye, let alone unhappy. By doing this, he is intensifying the conflict.< br>
But Sakyamuni taught it by himself, and when he did it, he was solving the problem
This is the difference!
Sakyamuni said: "But you have a far-sighted view than me, and you have more ideas and ideas. I would like to ask you, how can I prosper Buddhism?"
Qin Yao really knows how. Prosperity of Buddhism.
After the journey to the west, Buddhism flourished. This is no joke.
After a moment of silence, he said slowly: "Preach the scriptures."
The reason why he was silent was because he had not thought about whether he should pierce the window paper himself.
No longer silent, it was because he suddenly realized that even if he didn't say anything, the general trend of heaven would still flow forward in this direction.
In this case, why not use it as a good karma and achieve good results?
A glimmer of light flashed in Sakyamuni's mind, but it was not very clear: "If we spread the scriptures to the east, it will inevitably arouse a strong backlash and united resistance, right? Thinking about it from another perspective, if a Taoist immortal comes to the west to spread the scriptures, I will also experience this kind of obstruction."
Qin Yao shook his head and said: "No one will value things that are easily obtained. Only those who have worked hard to get them will know how to cherish them.
Therefore, when I talk about preaching the scriptures, I do not mean that the Western Heaven sends the Buddha to the Eastern Land to recruit disciples and teach Buddhism, but that the monks from the Eastern Land come to the Western Heaven to obtain the true scriptures. The more difficult this process is, the more attention they pay to the scriptures they bring back. "
A ray of light in Sakyamuni's mind suddenly cracked. On the basis of what the other party proposed, countless thoughts flew out like snowflakes and condensed into ideas in an instant. Thinking of these, he immediately got out of the futon He stood up, cupped his hands and said, "The Taoist Master is really an unparalleled counselor. I heard earlier that the Taoist Master took part in the situation and changed his fate to intercept the teachings and go against the will of heaven. I still didn't believe it, but now I believe it. "
Qin Yao waved his hand and said: "Don't listen to the rumors of wild history, they are all false. When the Battle of the Conferred Gods began, I was still a disciple of the Chan Cult and had nothing to do with the Jie Cult. "
Sakyamuni smiled and said: "But is it true that the Taoist priest is now a guest of Jiejiao? When you helped Ksitigarbha gain a foothold in hell, the Ten Immortals came to protect you. ”
"That's true." Qin Yao smiled slightly.
Listening to their conversation, Our Lady of Golden Light, who was originally a member of the outer sect of Jie Cult, looked at Qin Yao with eyes filled with light like broken stars.
This light is worship, admiration, love and pride.
After being together for more than three hundred years, she had never heard the other party brag, but Shakya's praise at this moment was a genuine tribute to him.
The person she loves, the person beside her pillow, is an unparalleled hero!
At this time, Sakyamuni thought for a while and asked: "Do you dare to ask the Master to become the Wisdom Buddha of my Buddhism? If you are willing to agree, I will announce that the Wisdom Buddha will be parallel to the Buddhas of the Three Worlds tomorrow and share the fate of Buddhism." < br>
Qin Yao declined politely: "I I belong to the type that has something but not much. It’s okay to come up with ideas. If you ask me to make a thousand-year plan and strategize, I can’t do it, so I’ll forget it.”
Sakyamuni was a little disappointed. But then I felt relieved again.
The other party doesn’t even like the Lord of Lingshan promised by the Second Saint, so how can he become his military advisor?
I am just blindly thinking, so why should I be disappointed?
Then, he looked into Qin Yao's eyes and said seriously: "Only based on what the Taoist Master said to me today, I came up with this idea.
As long as I am still the Lord of Yi Ling Mountain, the World Honored One of Buddhism, and the Taoist Just like in Jiejiao, Changbian is a guest of Lingshan and a guest of Buddhism
If you have any instructions, you can come to Lingshan to find me at any time. I, Sakyamuni, can do what the Ten Immortals can do!"
Qin Yao smiled slightly and didn't care. : "Serious words."
He never believed in this kind of oath, only in common interests.
If one day, the interests of oneself and Buddhism conflict with each other, then no matter how good the relationship is, they will turn into enemies.
There is no need to cite too far an example. Before he turned against Jiang Ziya, he still had a honeymoon period.
It’s just that...
This is not to say that Sakyamuni’s promise is completely useless. In fact, it is still quite important, especially for the business he wants to do.
With the support of Buddhism, we will be even more powerful!
This wave of favors sold extremely well...
The next day.
Lingshan has basically been decorated, and the outside of Daleiyin Temple is covered with flowers and lanterns. The Daleiyin Temple is solemn and solemn, with lotus terraces scattered at random.
Qin Yao and Jin Guang stayed in the courtyard arranged by Sakyamuni, looking at the white clouds floating in the sky, thinking about the flowers of the earth and the merits of heaven.
He has already cultivated the smallpox and the human flower, leaving only one ground flower, so he has all three.
Unfortunately, Zhen Yuanzi had nowhere to go. Even if he found out where the other person was, he still couldn't stop him for Dihua.
Now I just hope that the old man will come to Lingshan to watch the ceremony tomorrow, and that I can go to Wuzhuang Temple with him to borrow a book to watch.
There are also the merits of Heavenly Dao...
Isn’t Journey to the West in line with the general trend of Heavenly Dao? I proposed the concept of passing on and learning scriptures, why didn’t Heavenly Dao show any expression at all?
Is it possible that Heaven has judged that the rise of Western religion is not a thing that benefits the three worlds? Unlike Ksitigarbha who went to hell, can it contribute to the movement of the three realms?
But other than that, where else can we get the merits of heaven?
He is really greedy for this thing~
"Daoist Master Shen..."
Suddenly, the sound of burning lanterns sounded outside the courtyard, and Qin Yao was forced to Pulled back from his reverie.
"Please come in." Qin Yao immediately stood up from the stone bench and said loudly.
The next moment, the wooden door was suddenly pushed open. Ran Deng led the three masters into the courtyard, cupped his hands and said, "Taoist Master, long time no see."
"Sit down." Qin Yao nodded and pointed. He walked on the stone bench next to him.
The four saints sat down obediently, and Ran Deng spoke again: "I heard that you had a secret conversation with Saint Chunti and Sakyamuni yesterday?"
Qin Yaochao Eyebrow said: "Why do you ask?"
Randeng Sighing: "I have to ask, I have to come. Now more than two thousand outsiders are vaguely headed by me. I can't really ignore them. After all, we can stay warm by hugging each other. So I came to inquire about this Sakyamuni." , what exactly is the claim?”
Qin Yao said: "Don't ask me, I won't tell you. It's not that I don't regard you as my own, but there is a degree in it.
What degree, measure, is propriety.
< br>I refuse to be the master of Lingshan, but I randomly intervene in the internal power struggle of Lingshan. This is like "
Randeng was silent, and then said sincerely: "Do you have any advice for us?"
Qin Yao thought for a while and said: "You shouldn't stand on the table. , because people standing on the stage often cannot tell the truth
To put it more bluntly, you have to leave room for maneuver.
So, don’t be seduced by your current leadership status, figure out your position.
As for the three great masters, my advice to you is to treat Sakyamuni as your leader, and do not plot against him as your enemy.
What the leader wants is balance, not dominance.
So, he will not help the local factions suppress you. On the contrary, he needs to rely on you to check and balance the local factions. ”
After hearing this, the One Buddha and the Three Great Masters all had a plan in their hearts, and the pressure was no longer as great as before.
At this moment, seeing how they obeyed his words, Qin Yao suddenly realized the source of Jie Yin's dissatisfaction with him.
Where else can it come from?
It comes from here!
But there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, he cannot completely give up the power he has cultivated, and he will use this power to force heaven in the future...
Shaoqing, Qin Yao sent one Buddha and three great men out of the yard, and turned to look at Momo The Golden Light Bodhisattva who followed him asked with a smile: "Do you want to become the first Bodhisattva in Lingshan after Sakyamuni?"
The Golden Light Holy Mother blinked and said: "You need me to be The first Bodhisattva?"
Qin Yao laughed loudly and rubbed her long, silky hair: "You don't live for me, so you don't have to consider my situation."
Our Lady of Golden Light shook her head, silently Holding his hand tightly: "Our destinies have long been connected together. We will both prosper and suffer, so if you need me, I can try to do it. Maybe I won't be able to do it well at the beginning, but I will definitely redouble my efforts." Work hard.”
Qin Yao gradually faded his smile and said in deep thought: "Forget it, your personality is not suitable for being the leader. Live a happy life, I will protect you..." (End of Chapter)
