Chapter 862 Tacit understanding
Lingshan,

When Tathagata Buddha was preaching, he suddenly stopped and his slightly narrowed eyes widened.

The members of the pilgrims' team have already determined that the fifth fox brother is a difficulty on the journey to the West.

Now that it has been confirmed, the existence of Fox Brother Five doesn't have much meaning.

If we keep the fifth fox brother, he might end up dividing some of the power of merit.

So the Buddha Tathagata planned to go and convert the fifth fox brother.

Buddha Tathagata said calmly, "I have something to go out for, I will be back soon."

After saying this, the golden chain under the seat of Tathagata Buddha emitted a sacred and peaceful golden light, which relaxed the desires of the practitioners who saw this scene and made them want to join Buddhism immediately.

The many Bodhisattvas and Arhats of Buddhism did not ask any additional questions, but just bid farewell respectfully.

The Buddha did not stand up, but moved by relying on a lotus base under him.

The lotus base is a golden lotus cultivated from the twelve-level golden lotus.

The land of the West is extremely barren. The Two Saints of the West have been working hard for this land, and are also trying their best to solve the problem of scarce resources.

They even moved their real bodies.

Each of them refined its body into a magic weapon.

They are the twelve-petal golden lotus (some say it is the lotus core) and the seven-treasure tree.

These two magic weapons were refined using their original bodies after they shed their original bodies.

The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree is extremely powerful and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the most powerful treasure of Buddhism.

but,

The most important thing in Buddhism is not the Seven Treasures Tree, but the Twelve-Level Golden Lotus of Merit.

The Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit is not as powerful as the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in combat, but the Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit can suppress luck.

The fortune of Buddhism is suppressed by the Golden Lotus of Buddhism, otherwise it would have been gone long ago.

unfortunately,

During the Conferred God Calamity, perhaps because they had meddled too much in Eastern affairs, they were tainted with the fate of the Conferred God Calamity, which led to the presence of a Taoist priest named Jiaowen.

After the Mosquito Taoist appeared, he instantly sucked away ten of the twelve bottles of Buddhist golden lotus of merit and virtue, reducing them to the third grade, and downgrading from the twelfth grade to the ninth grade.

The most important thing is that the ability to suppress luck has decreased a lot.

Jie Yin and Zhunti used the power of their own merits to create an eight-treasure merit pool.

The Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit was nurtured in the Eight Treasures Merit Pond, and then some small golden lotuses were gradually cultivated through the lotus seeds of the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus.

The Buddhist sect successfully cultivated the Golden Lotus of Merit in the Eight Treasures Merit Pond by using a large amount of natural treasures.

No matter how many golden lotuses of merit were cultivated, they were only one level lower than the original ones. Countless materials were consumed and only three ninth-grade golden lotuses of merit were cultivated.

And ever since the twelve bottles of golden lotus were downgraded, it is no longer possible to cultivate the ninth level of golden lotus of merit.

There are three ninth-grade golden lotuses of merit in total, which were given by Cundi and Jie Yin to the three Buddhas, Dipankara, Tathagata and Maitreya respectively.

Although it is no longer possible to cultivate the Ninth Grade Golden Lotus of Merit, the Golden Lotus of Merit of ordinary grade is also a rare treasure for acquired creatures.

This is a top-grade material for making magic weapons. It does not require any refining and can be used directly. Its power is comparable to the most powerful magic weapons refined after birth.

It seems that the Golden Lotus of Merit has become a major strategic resource of Buddhism.

Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of a higher status all have a lotus pedestal.

The Ninth-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit will carry the Buddha through the overlapping space barriers and arrive at the battlefield where the Fifth Fox Brother is located, save the Fifth Fox Brother and collect the 1% of the merit power.

In the original novel, on the journey to the West, Buddha Tathagata did not take much action.

It’s not that he doesn’t need to take action, but that he doesn’t have the opportunity to take action.

Sun Wukong can deal with ordinary monsters by himself, and it would be too cheap for him to take action. There is no need for him to take action against monsters with backgrounds, as their masters will jump out and take them away.

At this time, the Buddha Tathagata had already understood the identity of the fifth fox brother and knew that he was one of the two guardians of the Wu Sect in the human world.

The martial arts spread by Wu Wudi, the ancestor of martial arts, were more popular among the people than the knowledge of Buddhism.

Therefore, the Buddhist sect wanted to interfere with Wu Zong through the identity of the fifth fox brother.

Apparently, Wu Wudi, the Martial Ancestor, was ignored.

The Buddha Tathagata does have the qualifications to ignore Wu Wudi.

You should know that Wang Ming's original body is only at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, while Tathagata Buddha is a quasi-sage.

The obvious gap can be seen from the difference in strength.

Just as the lotus throne of Tathagata Buddha was about to disappear in the sky above Lingshan Mountain, new changes suddenly occurred in the eastern sky.

For some reason, a vast purple cloud appeared in the eastern sky.

The eastern sky was lit up.

The golden light on the Buddha's body collided with the purple light from the sky, and then the Buddha gave up the plan to continue going to the east to subdue the demon.

The Tathagata Buddha still looks dignified and majestic, without any sign of emotional fluctuation.

But he was not at peace in his heart.

Because the purple glow that covered tens of millions of miles just now was not a natural celestial phenomenon.

But it comes from Taishang Laojun.

The moment he saw the purple glow, Buddha Tathagata understood that Taishang Laojun was involved in this matter.

That is why Buddha Tathagata gave up his plan to continue going to the East.

Beings who have reached their level cannot just take action whenever they want.

Quasi-saints are wary of each other.

The three Buddhas of Buddhism are all quasi-saints, but they are all restricted.

The demon master Kunpeng in the North Sea, the leader of the Styx under the endless sea of ​​blood, and Zhenyuanzi of the Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain.

The development of Buddhism is squeezing the living space of other practitioners, and the one who is bullied the most is the Leader of the Styx.

The mutual restraints and constraints make it rare to see quasi-saints in the three realms.

Although the quasi-saint is not a saint, he cannot destroy the three realms at will.

However, their fighting can have devastating effects, bringing pain and disaster to countless lives.

It can be said that this mutual confrontation and restraint has achieved a delicate balance within the Three Realms, allowing ordinary creatures in the Three Realms to survive more easily.

The purple glow in the eastern sky is standing against Wu Wudi.

With the protection of Taishang Laojun, Buddha Tathagata could only accept it.

Although I cannot go there in person, it is obviously impossible to send out the power of merit like this.

At this time, Sun Wukong also arrived.

Sun Wukong directly asked Buddha Tathagata to capture the monster.

The Buddha did not reject Sun Wukong's request, which was exactly what he wanted.

Immediately
The Buddha sent out several great Bodhisattvas and many Arhats to form a team to follow Sun Wukong to capture the fifth fox brother.

The tacit understanding reached between Taishang Laojun and Tathagata Buddha is that the quasi-saint will not take action, not that the Buddhist sect will not take action.
