Journey To the West From The Qin Dynasty

Not only Tathagata Buddha was a little unexpected, but other people were also stunned.

When they saw Li Jue and heard that the catastrophe was beneficial to Buddhism, they were still indifferent, thinking that he had given up.

Even if he didn't admit cowardice, he didn't want to make unwarranted disputes about this matter.

That's why he kept silent.

However, he never thought that Li Jue did not object to this catastrophe before, but now that everyone has agreed to this catastrophe, he jumped out to oppose it.

This is much more than the pressure of speaking out against it before, so everyone is puzzled.

The Tathagata Buddha, the Jade Emperor and others were puzzled, but they couldn't ask the reason first.

Jiang Ziya came forward and said: "Dare to ask what the Dragon and Tiger Emperor object to?"

"As I mentioned just now, this catastrophe was proposed by the two sages of the West, and Yuanshi Tianzun has also approved it, which means that this catastrophe was formulated by the saints, and we only need to implement it."

Li Jue chuckled, "During the Conferred God War, the saints could not avoid falling into catastrophe, how can the saints formulate the catastrophe of Journey to the West now?"

Everyone's face changed slightly.

The Queen Mother of Kunlun Mountain West was a little worried, and the Jade Emperor also frowned.

Based on their understanding, Li Jue would not be such a reckless person who dared to question the majesty of the saint in front of everyone.

Jiang Ziya has always admired Yuanshi Tianzun very much, so Li Jue dared to question Yuanshi Tianzun, which was a humiliation to him.

"Emperor Dragon and Tiger thinks that saints are not qualified to participate in planning this catastrophe?" Jiang Ziya said with a sullen face.

Li Jue said: "What I mean is that a saint can discover the catastrophe, but he can't specify the direction of the catastrophe."

Jiang Ziya said: "Why not?"

He quoted scriptures and said: "Since the Lich Wars, the sage discovered two Lich Wars. In order to avoid being involved in them, he joined hands to open up the Great Luotian, hid in them, and did not participate in the Lich Wars."

"During the Great War of Conferred Gods, the sage had also pre-determined the characters on the list of deities. He even believed that King Zhou had no way, and that King Wu defeated him, and finally made the gods immortal. All the incidents and incidents that happened in these catastrophes were determined by the saints. It has already been appointed."

Everyone nodded. The Queen Mother of the West didn't want Li Jue to have something to do, so she said, "The sage has boundless magic power, which represents the way of heaven, and the way of heaven is the will of heaven, and the will of heaven cannot be violated."

She comforted: "Emperor Dragon and Tiger should stop acting against the sky. How to act in this catastrophe should be decided by the sage, and we will follow."

The Jade Emperor also admired Li Jue very much, so he said the same: "I also feel that the saint represents the way of heaven, and the will of the way of heaven cannot be done, and the emperor of dragon and tiger should follow the way of heaven."

Everyone watched silently, except for the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, they all remained silent.

They might not be familiar with Li Jue, so they didn't want to persuade him and let him fend for himself.

Or some people themselves can't understand Li Jue, a rising star who rises too fast, making him arrogant and provoking the majesty of the saint, and thus being suppressed by the saint.

The Tathagata Buddha had this mentality, so he chose to remain silent, not even arguing for Buddhism, and let Li Jue say more radical things.

Li Jue said: "You have misunderstood that this catastrophe cannot be avoided. I do not doubt the saint's ability to calculate, nor do I doubt the mightiness and justice of this catastrophe."

Everyone frowned, and the Tathagata Buddha's heart was full of doubts.

Li Jue continued: "What I object to is not this catastrophe, what I object to is why the Tathagata Buddha, representing a saint, made this catastrophe, where did it start, and where did it end?"

Everyone was taken aback, it turned out that Li Jue was questioning the Tathagata Buddha.

Tathagata's complexion suddenly turned a little ugly, and he said calmly: "I represent the Second Sage of the West. The direction of this catastrophe was deduced by the Second Sage of the West and informed me."

Li Jue was full of disdain: "The catastrophe of conferring the gods is unavoidable even for saints, and even saints almost fell into it. The process of King Wu's defeating Zhou was full of hardships, and saints can only see this catastrophe coming. Do you know how this catastrophe is going?"

Everyone was silent again.

Tathagata Buddha said: "If the sages don't know, do you know?"

Li Jue said flatly: "I don't know, but I can tell you that when this catastrophe comes, all living beings in the world should be able to participate in it and gain a share of merit from it."

Emperor Wuyue, Emperor Donghua, Emperor Nanhua and others all had bright eyes.

They naturally also want to participate in it and get a share of it. After all, a catastrophe is coming, full of unknowns, but also full of opportunities.

It is also a reshuffle of the major forces in the three realms. If all of them benefit from Buddhism, wouldn't they be reduced to a foil?

They are famous, rich and powerful, how can they be willing to become a foil for others, but in the face of huge benefits, they choose to stand by and do nothing.

It would be full of temptation for them if everyone could participate in it, share a piece of the pie, and win a share of their own merit.

Tathagata Buddha naturally didn't want others to share the merits of traveling to the west, so he said with a calm face: "You want to oppose the saint and question the saint's decision?"

Li Jue said with a chuckle, "If you represent the words of a saint, I will question you."

Tathagata was furious immediately, Li Jue slapped him in the face in public.

"What do you mean by this? This seat is just bringing the words of the saint. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go to the Western Paradise and ask in person."

Li Jue used his trump card: "The Taoist ancestor once said that saints are not allowed to interfere in all mundane affairs below saints. After the catastrophe, in order to punish the monks for participating in the catastrophe, they also took away Sanqing and ordered the Western Er Sheng retreated to the Paradise of Paradise and was not allowed to go out.

Now that the catastrophe of conferring the gods has passed, and less than a thousand years have passed, are you just ignoring the words of the Taoist master, or are you trying to put the two sages of the West at a disadvantage and deliberately spread the holy words? "

Tathagata was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Jue to say such a thing, and even brought out Daozu.

Everyone was also a little shocked, as if they didn't expect Li Jue to say such a thing.

If it is said that he is arrogant and presumptuous, but he is justified.

If it is said that Li Jue questioned the two saints of the West and provoked the majesty of the saint; then, whoever doubts Li Jue now is questioning the majesty of the Taoist ancestor.

The Tathagata Buddha didn't dare to speak for a while, and the scene suddenly cooled down.

Jiang Ziya hesitated to speak, but Li Jue said calmly: "A sage should not interfere in the mundane world, let alone participate in the catastrophe. This is what the Taoist ancestor had already said."

He pointed to Tathagata, and said, "I would like to ask you, what you said earlier that the two sages of the West designated this catastrophe from beginning to end, did you say it personally or is it true?"

Tathagata's face became more and more ugly, and he didn't know how to refute for a while.

If it is admitted that it is what the two sages of the West said, it is tantamount to pushing them to the opposite side of the Taoist master.

If he denies it, it will make him a person who does not believe what he says.

No matter what, in this confrontation between words, he has already lost completely.

There was a calm smile on the corner of Li Jue's mouth, and his eyes and face didn't push any further.

He continued: "If you don't want to say it, let me say it. Is it because the saint has discovered that this catastrophe is about to happen, but the saint does not intend to intervene in it, but wants the Buddhist sect to take a share of it."

Tathagata frowned, not understanding why Li Jue wanted to speak for him.

Li Jue continued: "As the master of the Buddhist Lingshan, you naturally want to maximize the interests of the Buddhist generals, so you said these words that are extremely beneficial to the Buddhist sect."

Everyone's face was shocked, and they realized it later.

Then Jiang Xiong, the Heavenly Emperor of Mount Hua among the Five Sacred Emperors, said: "I feel that what the Emperor Dragon and Tiger said is reasonable, Tathagata, it's a little unreasonable for you to do this."

"Since this catastrophe is unavoidable, and the sage has predicted it, how can you completely lead this catastrophe involving the world to the side that is only beneficial to your Buddhism for the benefit of Buddhism."

The other great emperors also nodded, and they gradually came to their senses, criticizing Tathagata one after another.

Even Emperor Donghua, Zhen Yuanzi and others who supported Tathagata at the beginning nodded their heads one after another, which could be regarded as their approval of Li Jue's words and their dissatisfaction with Tathagata.

Tathagata's face was as gloomy as water.

Li Jue looked calm, he didn't think these people were really on his side.

They purely felt that his words were beneficial to them and could give them a share of the pie, so they supported him.

And what Li Jue needs to do is not let the Buddhist family dominate, but must bring everyone into the game.

It is easier to catch fish if the river is muddied.

Everyone also understands his thoughts, and they are more confident that they can make a profit in this catastrophe, so they support him.

Tathagata's face was not happy, because Li Jue was not fishing in troubled waters, but carve up Buddhism!

Originally, this was a catastrophe purely beneficial to Buddhism, but it was destroyed by Li Jue in the end, and everyone can participate in it!

It happened that Li Jue brought out the Taoist ancestors, so he couldn't mention the second sage of the West.

He could only stare at Li Jue closely, and said: "After all, this catastrophe started and ended because of my Buddhism. It is because of my Buddhism to open up beliefs for the subjects of the Eastern Land."

Li Jue said: "No need, I am a king, and I know more about the world than you. Their belief in ancestors and gods surpasses your Buddha."

Tathagata said, "How do you prove it?"

Li Jue said: "I select mortals from the east, and go to Lingshan in the west to preach on Buddhism with a firm heart. If they can survive the so-called ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties in peace, it proves that they don't need Buddhism. If Something happened halfway, and your Buddhist sect will arrange someone to complete your so-called Journey to the West catastrophe!"

Tathagata was taken aback.

What Li Jue said seemed to coincide with his thoughts.

but.

But it became Li Jue's choice.

And along the way, obviously not in the name of learning scriptures, then it is impossible to promote Buddhism.

Traveling west is no longer to learn scriptures, but to discuss the level with the Buddha!

Buddhism is no longer the goal, but a stumbling block!
