The King of Fortune

Chapter 405
Taoism gathered more than a dozen elite disciples this time, led by Lao Tzu, and under the farewell of the Jade Emperor, they headed for Xiniu Hezhou in a mighty way.Emperor Zhenwu was highly valued by Lao Tzu, and he asked Lao Tzu on the road: "Sage Taiqing, there are only demons in the area, and the disciples are waiting to go, why bother you, old man, to do it yourself."

Lao Tzu said with a smile: "I went to sweep the formation for you, as for the matter of subduing demons and demons, I still have to rely on you!"

Taking Xiniu Hezhou under the knife, Buddhism will never sit still and go by itself, the Tathagata still has concerns about his actions.Otherwise, just relying on these disciples, if Tathagata moves his fingers casually, these people will not be able to complete the task assigned by the Jade Emperor.

Of course, these words cannot be stated clearly to the disciples, otherwise it will affect their enthusiasm.

A trace of confusion flashed in Emperor Zhenwu's eyes, and he murmured, "Luozhen, does Buddhism interfere?"

Together with this thought, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. If someone made a big fanfare in front of his house and made an earth-shattering fight, he would definitely take care of it. It was a matter of face.

Chi Jingzi said: "Junior Brother Zhenwu, the uncle recommended you in front of the Jade Emperor, so you don't want to embarrass our Taoism."

"Don't worry, brother. With Poverty Dao, those monsters will have nowhere to hide."

A look flashed in front of Emperor Zhenwu's eyes. Although he is powerful in Daoism, he has not been well-known in the Three Realms, and his influence is far inferior to Chi Jingzi and others. He has always been eager to become famous in a battle. Now the opportunity he has been waiting for has finally arrived. In his heart A burst of excitement.

Chi Jingzi smiled, but there was a glimmer of sadness in his eyes. With the expulsion of the teaching, the reputation of the Twelve Golden Immortals also plummeted. Now that Taoists have emerged in large numbers, his reputation of Chi Jingzi is still there, but he has the potential to move forward.

The younger generation is headed by Emperor Zhenwu, while the older generation is followed by the Great Master Xuandu, and even the Great Master Lingbao has become estranged from himself.

But who is to blame for all this, I am not up to date, more than 1000 years have passed, and I have never touched the realm of Daluo Jinxian.

……

"Fellow Taoist has finally come, but the poor monk has to wait for a while."

As soon as the group of people stepped into the boundary of Xiniu Hezhou, the Tathagata appeared and stopped them.

Lao Tzu looked at Tathagata suspiciously, and asked, "Brother Dao is here, but I have something to tell the poor Taoist."

Tathagata nodded, glanced at the disciple behind him, and Lao Tzu ordered: "You should step back first, I have something to discuss with Master Buddha."

All the disciples retreated according to the words, Tathagata sighed: "Fellow Taoist wants to take Xiniu Hezhou, what is your intention?"

Lao Tzu said with a smile: "Brother Dao, what do you mean by this? The monsters in Hezhou, Xiniu, dared to disturb Lingshan, and the Jade Emperor was furious. For the sake of the stability of the Three Realms, he sent the poor Taoist to crusade, and the poor Taoist obeyed orders, what intentions could he have?"

"It depends on the owner to beat a dog. My junior and I have worked hard for thousands of years in Xiniu Hezhou, and it's hard to come to this scene. The Jade Emperor wants to take away my Buddhist achievements, and the fellow Taoists want to become an accomplice. How did this move me? If Tathagata puts it in your eyes, where does Buddhism go?"

There was some dissatisfaction in the Tathagata's tone, when did Buddhism become a persimmon at the mercy of others.

Lao Tzu said: "Brother Dao misunderstood, I don't know what the Jade Emperor is thinking. It's just that I, as a courtier of the Jade Emperor, obey orders, which is a matter of course. If you are dissatisfied, Brother Dao, just go to the Jade Emperor , as long as he changes his mind and no longer uses troops against Xiniu Hezhou, the poor will lead all the disciples back to heaven without saying a word."

Lao Tzu threw the question on the Jade Emperor, Tathagata sneered in his heart, and said: "Since this is the case, the poor monk is not a friend of mine. It's just that without Xiniu Hezhou, it is difficult to develop the way of Bodhi, so the poor monk took his disciples and brought his family together. I voted for the Jade Emperor. We will live together in the Heavenly Court from now on, if anything offends fellow Taoists, please don’t take it to heart.”

"Brother Dao, hold on."

Lao Tzu was shocked when he heard the words, the power of heaven has already surpassed Taoism, if we get the help of Buddhism, there is no room for Taoism in the three realms.The three-legged force is beneficial to all three families. If the balance is broken, the isolated family must pay a heavy price. Regardless of whether the Tathagata's words are true or not, I dare not gamble on the future of Taoism.

Tathagata smiled inwardly, and said calmly, "What's wrong, Fellow Daoist."

Lao Tzu said seriously: "Brother Dao, as the Buddha of the Western Paradise, you have the mission of saving all sentient beings. If you have not achieved your ambition, how can you give up lightly. Besides, Lingshan is clean and inactive, and it is in line with the way of Buddhism. It is also the foundation of Buddhism. How can you abandon it. "

"Fellow Daoist, if you were me, you would make such a decision."

Tathagata has a calm face, looking straight at Lao Tzu, standing and talking without feeling pain in his back, if he wants to send troops to take down Dongsheng Shenzhou because of the Jade Emperor's concern, I'm afraid he will be as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

"This……"

The Tathagata's words stopped Lao Tzu, if it were his words, he would never sit still and wait for death.But he couldn't tell Tathagata these words, once he said it, wouldn't the other party feel confident.

Tathagata said: "Fellow Taoist, the poor monk will solve the problem of the demons in Hezhou, Xiniu, and guarantee that it will not endanger the Three Realms. I also invite fellow Taoists to go to the Heavenly Court and speak well for the poor monk in front of the Jade Emperor. Thank you Endless."

Lao Tzu sighed: "Brother Dao, I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

"Okay, since that's the case, then the poor monk told the Jade Emperor bluntly that Taoist Mosquito's chaos in Lingshan was really instigated by others. Good and evil colluded. How do you think the Jade Emperor will feel when he hears it."

After Tathagata was assassinated, he kept wondering who instigated Daoist Mosquito. He guessed that Taoism was more likely to do it. Now that the Jade Emperor took action against Xiniu Hezhou, he was sure it was Taoism.

In Taoism, there are only Sanqing who can stop the mantra. From the Tathagata's point of view, it is either Laozi or Yuanshi Tianzun, but the latter is more likely.

I was secretly startled, I didn't expect Tathagata to guess the person behind it so quickly, but fortunately Taoist Mosquito is dead, there is no evidence for this matter.Otherwise, if it reaches the Jade Emperor's ears, it will be bad.

After weighing again and again, Laozi pondered: "Brother Dao, you and I met once, and Pindao agreed to help you with this favor. However, Pindao has no right to interfere with the Jade Emperor's decision. Brother Dao, please understand."

Tathagata said with a smile: "As long as fellow Taoists open their mouths, this matter will be sure!"

Lao Tzu was afraid that Buddhism would submit to Heaven, and the two would join hands to deal with Taoism. Similarly, Jade Emperor was also afraid that he would join hands with Taoism. As long as he stated his vitals in front of Jade Emperor, how could he not weigh it a few times.

Laozi nodded, summoned Emperor Zhenwu, and said, "You and I will go back to Lingxiao Palace to see the Jade Emperor."

"The disciple takes orders."

After Emperor Zhenwu left Xiniu Hezhou with Lao Tzu, Zhenwu couldn't help but said: "Master, did the Tathagata threaten you before letting you go to see the Jade Emperor?"

Lao Tzu shook his head and sighed: "The Tathagata is smart. He knew that it would be difficult to persuade him to go to see the Jade Emperor, so he stopped us here. Seeing that everything he said made sense, the poor Taoist agreed to help him with the message."

If I knew it earlier, I should have brought Yuanshi Tianzun and let him negotiate with Tathagata.

Emperor Zhenwu's heart sank, could it be that the plan for this war is going to fail again, but he dared not ask Lao Tzu about this.

I was so preoccupied that I turned a blind eye to the change in the expression on Emperor Zhenwu's face.

The two of them were speechless all the way, and soon came to the Nantian Gate. Seeing that they had returned, the Heavenly King Zeng Zhang who was guarding the gate didn't dare to ask any more questions, and quickly ordered his heavenly soldiers and generals to let them go.
