Rebirth of the Great Wilderness, I shall mention it

Chapter 137 Three Saints Discuss Journey to the West
Back at the dojo 33 days away, Zhunti and Amitabha looked at each other and smiled. "Heaven rewards hard work, we have worked so hard for so many years, and now my Buddhism is finally going to flourish!" Amitabha said happily.

"Yes, this time we must seize this opportunity." Zhunti nodded.

"However, Sanqing and the others will definitely trip us up this time, we still have to be careful." Amitabha said worriedly.

"Well, Brother Buddha's worry is not unreasonable. We have to be careful. But this time it's about the seal of the Demon Realm, and they definitely don't dare to mess around." Zhunti said.

"The saints are all ants, and no one knows whether they will do things regardless of the safety of all living beings for the sake of luck." Amitabha said.

"Brother Buddha, you are too worried. I think they still have this awareness. Besides, they still have our karma!" Zhun Ti said.

"Yeah, it's time for them to repay their karma." Amitabha said.

"Brother Buddha, this time I have an unfeeling request, and I hope Brother Buddha can agree." Zhun Ti said.

"Oh, you and I have been brothers for tens of thousands of years, tell me, I will agree to anything." Amitabha heard the words.

"This time, I hope that everything will be arranged by me." Zhun Ti said.

Then Amitabha said: "Brother Zhunti, you can do it according to your own ideas. No matter what, I will support you."

"Okay, I will go to Lao Tzu to discuss the matter of spreading Buddhism eastward in three days." Zhun Ti said.

"Well, everything depends on you." Amitabha said.

"Brother Buddha, don't worry, I will not let you down." Zhunti said firmly.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye to the saints. After Zhunti said a word to Amitabha, he left the ashram and went to Laozi's Bajing Palace.

Zhunti stood outside the Palace of Eight Views. Not long after, a boy came out to greet him and said, "I have seen the saint. May the saint live forever. My master has invited me. The saint please come with me."

Zhunti went into the Bajing Palace, and said to Laozi who was sitting on the cloud bed, "I have seen Daoist brother, poor monk, you are polite."

Lao Tzu returned the question and said, "I've seen Zhunti Daoist, I'm a poor Taoist." After speaking, he pointed to the opposite side of himself, raised a cloud bed, and said, "Daoist friend, please sit down."

"Thank you, Brother Dao!" Zhunti finished speaking and sat on the cloud bed.

At this time, Lao Tzu said: "I don't know if you are enjoying happiness in the west, so what's the use of coming to my Bajing Palace?"

Zhunti heard the words and thought: Pretend, you can pretend, you don't know what I'm here for.Hmph, since you want to confuse me, I'll make the topic clear.So, Zhunti said: "The poor monk came here because Buddhism is about to flourish, and Buddhism needs to be spread to the east. The secret of heaven will appear, and the people who learn the scriptures will come to the world soon.The poor monk came here to discuss the number of Buddhist scriptures that Buddhism has been passed on to the east with fellow Taoists. "

Lao Tzu heard the words and said: "I am afraid that this fellow Taoist has found the wrong person. At this time, my Taoist sect is in charge of the original junior brother. The Taoist friend should go to the original junior brother to discuss it."

"Fellow Daoist, what you said is wrong. Brother Dao is the first disciple of the Dao ancestor, and he is also the great disciple of the Taoist school. Although the Taoist sect is temporarily under the control of the original Taoist brother, such matters must naturally be discussed with the Taoist brother." Zhun Ti Said.

Lao Tzu heard the words, pondered for a while and then asked: "Since the Taoist said so, let the poor Taoist discuss with the Taoist, how many Buddhist scriptures do the Taoist want to spread eastward?"

Taoist Zhunti saw that Lao Tzu agreed to discuss with him, he was overjoyed, and when he heard Lao Tzu's question, he immediately replied: "Ninety-nine return to the truth, naturally it is 81 parts."

"Too many." A voice said at this moment.

Zhun Ti heard the words and knew that Yuan Yuan Tianzun had arrived, so he frowned and said, "Brother Yuan Yuan, since you're here, why don't you show up to see him!"

As soon as Zhunti's words fell to the ground, a figure appeared, and this person was the original Tianzun.

After Yuan Yuan Tianzun appeared, he bowed to Lao Tzu and said, "Just now I accidentally heard the discussion between senior brother and fellow Taoist Zhunti, and I forgot to report it in a moment of anxiety. I hope senior brother will not blame you!"

"I don't care, I just made fellow Daoist Zhunti laugh at me." Lao Tzu replied.

"Hehe, I can understand Brother Yuan's mood. After all, it's about the luck of the Daoist sect. If it were me, I might be more anxious than Brother Yuan." Zhunti laughed.

Lao Tzu pointed to his side, and raised a cloud bed, Yuan Yuan Tianzun stepped forward and sat down, saying: "There are too many 81 scriptures, I absolutely cannot accept this."

Lao Tzu on the side also said: "81 is too many, how about 36?"

Zhunti said with a look of embarrassment: "It's not that I want 81 volumes, but that my Mahayana Buddhism is really profound, and it's impossible to get its true meaning without these 81 volumes. This number is already the lowest."

"Does it really have to be 81?" Yuan Tianzun asked.

"It has to be 81!" Zhun Ti said.

"Then, big brother, we can see off the guests!" Yuan Yuan Tianzun suddenly said to Lao Tzu.

Zhunti was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said with a smile: "Brother Yuan Daoist, don't you want to make life miserable?"

"Nonsense!" Yuan Yuan Tianzun said angrily.

"Since that's the case, why did Brother Dao sincerely prevent my Dharma from advancing eastward? Isn't this a matter of deliberately destroying and strengthening the seal of the demon world?" Zhunti said.

"Stop arguing, since the way of heaven ordained Buddhism to prosper this time, it is up to God to decide how much Buddhism will be spread eastward." Lao Tzu said.

"Brother Dao, what do you mean by this?" Zhun asked.

"The people who learn the scriptures encounter as many difficulties as they encounter along the way, so they can pass on as many scriptures as they want!" Lao Tzu explained.

Taoist Zhunti thought for a while and said: "This is not good. I don't think it is as good as spreading 81 Buddhist scriptures to the East. How about the cause and effect of the Taoist brother and I teaching and transforming the Buddha?" Although he has lost the position of the ancestor of ten thousand Buddhas, he has formed karma with Amitabha and Zhunti.

After pondering for a long while, Lao Tzu said, "One difficulty changes one scripture. In addition, I am helping you three times to understand the cause and effect of the last time. How about it?"

Lao Tzu's words were exactly what Zhun Ti wanted when he came here this time. After hearing this, he pretended to hesitate and said: "Okay, just follow what Brother Dao said."

"Brother, this is inappropriate!" Yuan Yuan Tianzun interjected.

"Brother Yuanyuan, if it's as I said, the cause and effect between you and me will be merged!" Zhun Ti said.

"Junior Brother, just follow him!" Lao Tzu rumored to Yuan Yuan Tianzun.

After receiving Lao Tzu's rumors, Yuan Yuan Tianzun nodded in agreement with what Zhun Ti said.

Zhunti was naturally overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately greeted Laozi and Yuanyuan Tianzun, said goodbye, and left to return.

After Zhunti left, Yuanyuan Tianzun said to Lao Tzu: "Brother, you just fell into the trap of Zhunti just now. If it is difficult for you to change the scriptures, if they set up a catastrophe for the scripture learners, then we are not at a big loss."

Hearing this, Lao Tzu said calmly: "They can set it up, we can naturally eliminate it in advance, and we can even change the person who learns the scriptures. Anyway, the teacher said that as long as they are compassionate and firm-minded, they can go this way. The road, if they can't complete the seal."

Yuan Yuan Tianzun was shocked when he heard what Lao Tzu said, yes, why didn't he think of this.Immediately said to Lao Tzu: "It seems that the senior brother thinks deeply, the younger brother admires it."

At this time, Lao Tzu said again: "Taking a step back, since his Buddhism can succeed and prosper this time, so what? If they are prosperous next time, they will be the ones who will bear the brunt of the next catastrophe, maybe Junior Brother Tongtian will be their role model, as a human being, you have to take a long-term view, and to be a saint, you have to take a longer-term view."

Upon hearing the words, Yuan Yuan Tianzun also felt that what Lao Tzu said was quite reasonable, and after chatting for a few words, he got up and left.
