Journey to the West: At the beginning, Li Er was mistaken for his father

The ninth-grade lotus platform under Tathagata's seat was originally golden and beautiful.

Yet now.

But somehow, the light dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and fell to the mortal world.

If it wasn't for Tathagata's constant use of great power to maintain it, I'm afraid it won't be long before it will become like broken copper and iron.

Manjusri and Puxian were too shocked to speak.

You must know that this ninth-grade merit lotus platform is transformed from the twelfth-grade lotus platform of the best innate spiritual treasure. It was a gift from the ancestor Hongjun to thank the two ancestors of the West for repairing the West.

Although Taoist Mosquito took the opportunity to destroy the third grade of Fengshenzhong back then, and the quality has declined, it is still the treasure of Western Buddhism.

As long as you sit on the lotus platform, you will be blessed with great merit and virtue, and almost nothing can be broken.

But most importantly, this lotus platform is closely related to the luck of the entire Western religion.

When Buddhism flourishes, the lotus platform shines brightly.

If something goes wrong with the lotus platform, it means that Buddhism will face a test.

"Could it be... Heavenly Court or Daomen noticed our plan...?"

Manjusri and Samantabhadra are respectively in charge of wisdom and reason in Buddhism.

Manjusri was quite clever, so he reacted quickly and asked.

"It would be nice if that was the case."

Tathagata recited a sentence viciously, seeing that Manjushri and Puxian, the left and right hands, had realized the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly used their mana to cover up the scene again with Buddha's light.

Otherwise, if it is seen by other Arhats and Bodhisattvas and shakes the morale of the Buddhist army, it will be a big trouble.

"After the changes in the lotus platform, I stepped up to inspect the Three Realms.

Not only our Xitian Lingshan, but also the Qi of Taoist and Heavenly Courts has also declined, but the magnitude is not as great as that of our Buddhist sects. "

"There is a definite number of heaven and earth luck, since our luck and Taoism's luck have decreased, then the excess..."

Puxian muttered to himself and gave the final answer.

"Is it... the human race?"

Tathagata rolled his eyelids and said "hmm".

"Now you should know how serious the problem is..."

Manjusri and Puxian nodded at the same time, their expressions extremely heavy.

Among the prehistoric tribes, the human race was not conceived naturally with the opening up of the heaven and the earth, but was formed by Nuwa from the soil.

But the human race was destined to prosper as early as its appearance, becoming the real protagonist of this world.

It just appeared in this world with the help of Nu Wa temporarily.

Nuwa also laid the foundation of holiness by virtue of her merits in creating human beings because she complied with the principles of heaven and earth.

The aptitude of the human race is really unique, and they are favored by the fortune of heaven and earth. They practiced at a rapid pace, and finally they were able to conquer and overthrow the heaven of the demon race.

but……

This also caused other great powers to worry. After all, at this time, the strength of the previous emperors was too strong, not even inferior to the saints, and countless great talents emerged under his command.

That's why there was a catastrophe of conferring the gods, and the Buddhist and Taoist families joined forces to cut off the four titles of the human emperor, from the ninety-nine supreme to the ninety-five.

This is not counting.

After all, the human race is the appointed master of heaven and earth, if they are suppressed too hard, they will inevitably be counterattacked by luck.

That's why Buddhism and Taoism chose more subtle and clever means.

On the one hand, gradually eliminate the masters who strangled the remnants of the clan, and at the same time destroy the practice methods that were everywhere in the world.

To engage in monopoly, unless you are under the two sects, you should never think about embarking on the road of cultivation.

Coupled with the spread of teachings, it pollutes and blocks human beings' desire to seek Taoism and practice.

While human masters are becoming rarer and rarer, they are becoming more and more prosperous.

It can be said that their current prosperity was obtained by stealing the luck of the human race.

Now that those lucky people are going to return to the human race, they don't need to think too much, they can also imagine the situation they will face.

"Damn!"

Pu Xian clenched his fists, murderous.

I am used to being a thief, relying on stolen things to eat and drink, but the owner comes to ask for it back. No thief will honestly admit his mistake and return to compensate his loss.

It will only blame everything on the master.

That's how they are now.

"Or Great Tang Chang'an?"

Manjusri was relatively more prudent, and connected with Tathagata's instructions just now, he quickly came to a conclusion.

"good.

And just now, the humanism and dragon energy in Datang suddenly became strong, so I couldn't figure out what happened. "

Tathagata nodded.

"That's why I ordered Venerable Avalokitesvara to move faster to check what happened to Datang..."

"There is only Venerable Guanyin alone, isn't it a bit...?"

Manjusri frowned and didn't say what he said, but the meaning was very clear.

If the changes in the Tang Dynasty can even be blocked by the supernatural powers of the Tathagata, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva alone may not be enough.

"It doesn't matter."

Tathagata's tone froze, and he spoke the real plan.

"She's just going to be a vanguard. If the situation there is out of control, the deity will go down to earth in person.

In that case, Lingshan still needs your help to take care of it..."

"The Tathagata descends to the mortal world!"

No matter how shocking the news I heard before, it couldn't compare to the present.

Manjusri and Puxian looked at each other, not knowing what to say anymore.

Buddhism and Taoism have a tacit understanding, and such a powerful person like Tathagata cannot be easily shot.

So all along, the Tathagata has been planning secretly in Lingshan, and the matter of contacting and communicating has been handed over to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The last time he made a move, he accepted the Jade Emperor's invitation and promise when the Great Sage of Qi, Sun Wukong, was causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace.

Now Tathagata actually has the thought of going down to earth in person.

On the one hand, it shows that the changes in Datang are more serious than they just imagined.

At the same time, they were also worried that if Taoism found out about this matter, it would be a big deal.

"It's nothing in Heaven."

Seeing that Manjusri and Bodhisattvas are aware of the seriousness, Tathagata relieved them first.

"The Jade Emperor's cultivation base is insufficient, his heart is lax, and he can't even understand the mess in the Heavenly Court. Even if he knows, what can he do with this deity?!"

What I'm really worried about is something else. "

Speaking of this, Tathagata also silenced, but secretly pointed to the golden lotus with his hand.

"If once I leave, Lingshan will be empty, and that guy will inevitably not notice.

Taoism and the human race are foreign troubles, but he is a serious trouble for our Buddhist sect.

If one is not handled well, it will be the enemy from the back..."

Pu Xian was clamoring to attack the human race just now, but now he is wilting like an eggplant that has been beaten by frost.

Based on their status in Buddhism, it is natural to guess who the Tathagata is worried about.

"Kinara Bodhisattva..."

"What Kinnara Bodhisattva, that guy is Mara, the ancestor of all demons!"

Hearing these words, Puxian glared at Manjusri as if he had been beaten into chicken blood, and hurriedly corrected it.

This may involve political correctness in Buddhism, and there should be no problems with the position.
