Buddha is the Tao

Hearing the words of Maitreya Buddha, Zhou Qing's face became more and more ugly. Liao Xiaojin condensed the supreme demon body and became a great witch, half of which was due to the Chiyou bloodline in his body, and the other half was the Heavenly Dao Scroll created by Zhou Qing. The two were integrated and completely united. Not to mention whether what the fat man said was true, even if it was true, if the Chiyou bloodline was really washed away, Liao Xiaojin would not only lose all his magical powers, but he might not even be able to keep his life, let alone achieve the right result.

Even if the Buddha's law was boundless and could save Liao Xiaojin's life, Zhou Qing would not let others take away his disciple for no reason. Moreover, although the other party's tone was polite, he was actually forcing and threatening. Even a small yellow-browed boy under his seat dared to kill the demon king and collect demon soldiers. He really did not take himself seriously.

If it were someone else, Zhou Qing would have beaten the opponent to death without saying a word, but Zhou Qing was really unsure about the power of this Maitreya Buddha. Not to mention that he was no match for this Buddha, even if he barely escaped, his hard-earned foundation would be destroyed. Zhou Qing knew very well how powerful the Western Paradise was.

He smiled for a while, but his heart was not good enough to deal with him. Only if he had strength could he speak, otherwise everything would be empty talk. These Buddhist leaders were all old-timers, and it would be in vain even if they talked a lot.

Besides, in terms of talking skills, Zhou Qing might not be as good as the Eastern Buddha who often preached and talked, and a lotus would grow out of his saliva.

Maitreya's smile was very simple and funny, but in Zhou Qing's heart, he was no less than an ancient beast baring its fangs and claws in front of him.

Seeing that Zhou Qing was hesitant to speak, Maitreya raised auspicious clouds and sat on the ninth-grade lotus pedestal again, looking down at Zhou Qing and his disciples. Eight yellow-browed boys also stood on both sides of the lotus pedestal. With this power alone, he firmly suppressed Zhou Qing.

"My friend, I am in charge of the Eastern Paradise of Bliss, and all living beings look up to me and serve me. The Eight Virtues Pond, the Seven Treasures Forest, and the Glazed Realm are the Pure Land of Buddhism, the leisurely paradise, and the Eight Heavenly Dragons guard them. The Five Directions Jie Di are always around, and they are infinite. My friend, if you convert to my Buddha, you will have boundless merits. If you get rid of the demonic obstacles, you will be a Bodhisattva."

Seeing that Zhou Qing didn't speak, Maitreya turned his words to Liao Xiaojin behind him. There was a lot of temptation in the tone. As Maitreya spoke, colorful lotuses emerged from the void, and the fragrance was so strong that it covered the entire sky within a radius of ten thousand miles. The colorful lotuses emitted a light, and a series of pictures appeared. There were celestial maidens scattering flowers, glass bliss, pairs of colorful phoenixes in the sky, blue phoenixes flapping their wings, golden dragons rolling in the merit pool on the ground, auspicious purple clouds floating in the air, high mountain spiritual platforms, old pines coiled, and cranes holding Ganoderma lucidum on them. In the Leiyin Treasure Temple, relics were suspended in the sky, illuminating the universe, and golden arhats clasped their hands and chanted in Sanskrit. The sound came out, and people's worldly thoughts were completely eliminated.

The illusion was better than the real scene. Zhou Qing and his disciples were in it, as if they were in person, and they could even see the arhats passing by nodding and choking their heads at them.

"Hehe, hehe, I have been taught by my master and entered the sect. I practice the Taoist method, respect the morality of the two religions, worship the Three Pure Ones, and am a Taoist disciple. Although the Western Paradise is good, it is a different sect after all. What's more, the Western Paradise requires worshiping Buddha, practicing Zen, and cultivating merits. It is far less free than my Taoist sect. I dare not obey." Liao Xiaojin laughed. Everyone knew that the fat man had bad intentions. He said he would take him away. Isn't he treating himself as a commodity?

Liao Xiaojin became a great witch, and he naturally had the momentum of Chi You. He killed immortals and Buddhas when he saw them. He was determined. In addition, Zhou Qing secretly used magic power to protect the minds of the disciples, so he was naturally not tempted by the Western Paradise.

Liao Xiaojin seemed to hate this fat man very much. Not only that, but also other immortals and cultivators. This was the consciousness left by the bloodline of Chiyou, the great witch. However, the disciples of Tiandao Sect all practiced Tiandao Volume, which was somewhat similar to the aura of the witch sect. Liao Xiaojin felt a little familiar with them, especially Zhou Qing, who had the aura of the twelve witch ancestors, which made Liao Xiaojin feel like belonging to an elder.

"Oh, we Buddhists have to worship Buddha, meditate, and cultivate merits, which is not as free as the Taoists. May I ask, my friend, what kind of freedom is the Taoist? The Taoists work hard every day, meditate and practice qi, adjust yin and yang, build the golden elixir, and have no leisure time. They also have to suffer the 49 heavenly tribulations. Our Buddhists only cultivate merits, reincarnate to get rid of karma and evil obstacles, and have the protection of Ksitigarbha. There is no disaster or disaster. As long as you are sincere, you can achieve the golden body. My friend is sharp-eyed and can naturally see it. Why do you say such a false statement?"

Maitreya played his specialty, speaking eloquently and coherently. Although Liao Xiaojin was also a good speaker, he had no reason to refute, so he said: "Once a teacher, a teacher for life. If you want me to leave the master's sect, you must agree. Although I am a great witch, my bloodline was eliminated by the master with the supreme Taoism. Now I am devoted to practicing Taoism and have no initiative to harm the three realms. The Buddha's words of converting demons can only deceive the ignorant believers. There is no need to find these excuses. If you want to force me, I would rather die than live in disgrace."

Liao Xiaojin simply cheated.

Maitreya was speechless. If it came to debate, Liao Xiaojin was not easy to flatter, but the other party made it clear that he was a complete rogue, so it was difficult to talk to him.

Zhou Qing thought about it, but he just couldn't come up with any good ideas. As long as he said a word of delay, he opened his mouth to pick up the topic and said: "Don't be rude to the Buddha. Buddhism and Taoism have their own merits. Although we practitioners have some disasters, we have more hardships than Buddhism, but it is in line with the truth of heaven's movement. There is an old saying: The heart is like white clouds and the mind is always free, the mind is like flowing water, and returning to the origin is exactly the realm of my Taoism."

Zhou Qing straightened his body, and a breath of ancient and wild air rushed out. The sea rolled, the sky-reaching pillars, the ancient sacred mountains, the beasts and poisonous dragons, the giant lions, and some creatures of the ancient and wild all appeared, breaking through the paradise scene, occupying half of the country, and competing with Maitreya Buddha.

Anyway, to delay time, Zhou Qing talked nonsense. Although the twelve ancestor witches were clones, the power contained was simply endless. Zhou Qing mobilized the power of the twelve ancestor witches with all his strength, and barely relieved some of the pressure from Maitreya Buddha.

Maitreya Buddha smiled. Seeing Zhou Qing's full-strength counterattack, he did not continue to exert force. Instead, he put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name. The Lingshan scene disappeared immediately. Zhou Qing saw that Maitreya was no longer tempting his disciples, so he also took back the scene of the prehistoric world. It was too strenuous to combine the power of the twelve ancestor witches.

If Zhou Qing could comprehend the magical power, refine all the clones of the twelve ancestor witches, and integrate them into his own magic power, then his strength would be close to that of the Three Pure Ones. If the twelve ancestor witches restored their strength in their heyday, then changing the world, refining the earth, fire, water, and wind, and re-creating the six reincarnations would be a matter of a snap of a finger. Unfortunately, these two things are just imaginations, at least now, that is impossible.

Now the twelve ancestor witches and Zhou Qing are not one, but just a magic weapon. After all, external forces are not in the true flow, and they cannot be compared with integration into oneself.

Maitreya Buddha laughed and said, "What a heart like white clouds, always at ease, and like flowing water, flowing east and west. Clouds and water are flowing things, not long-lasting. Clouds will eventually disperse, and water will eventually dry up. May I ask the emperor, when the clouds disperse and the water dries up, can the emperor have any more Tao?"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "It is just when the water dries up that the clouds disperse, the pearls appear, and when the clouds disperse, the vast moon is in the sky, which is eternal!"

Maitreya sat on the lotus platform, also laughing. Just when he was about to refute, he suddenly moved his mind, calculated with his hands, and immediately restrained his smile a little: "Well, the emperor is a man of Tao, and Buddhism and Taoism are also different. I just heard from my friend that everything is subject to the emperor's orders. I wonder if the emperor can bet with me."

"The power of the Buddha from the East is boundless. It's okay to gamble. I never do it. My disciple has no fate in the Western Paradise. It's better for the Buddha to go back." Zhou Qing said. Although he started to show his power, Maitreya was polite when he appeared, and there was no sign of falling out. With Maitreya's identity, it would be impossible to rob people.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, the emperor should listen to the bet." Maitreya looked confident, as if Zhou Qing must gamble.

"Yellow-browed boy, go down and grab a handful of sand." Maitreya ordered.

A yellow-browed boy really fell to the ground and grabbed a handful of sand.

Extending his big hand, Maitreya put a handful of sand in his palm and said to Zhou Qing: "I don't have any magical powers, I just have some small tricks." There is a verse in my Buddhist sect: The inner and outer spiritual light is the same everywhere, and a Buddha country is in a grain of sand. "

He blew out all the sand on his hand, leaving only a sesame-sized grain of sand. He shook his hand in the wind, and it changed to a size of a hundred miles. Maitreya said again: "There is a verse in my Buddhist sect: The inner and outer spiritual light is the same everywhere, and a Buddha country is in a grain of sand. The emperor is in my palm. As long as he can escape from the Buddha country in the sand and get out of the palm of my hand, I will lose. "

"To the west of these two worlds, there are a total of 3,700 mountains. This is the prize. If the emperor wins, my disciple Wandu Jiedi will withdraw from Wandu Mountain and let the emperor preach. If the emperor is careless for a while, please give up your beloved disciple, which is also a great merit. This bet can just end the debate between me and the emperor just now, which is killing two birds with one stone. What do you think, emperor? "

Maitreya laughed twice, and Zhou Qing's face changed. Although Maitreya spoke casually, one of his words, "get out of the palm of my hand", was an obvious provocation. When this was said, even Wen Lanxin and others were a little angry.

In this way, Zhou Qing could not refuse unless he was shameless, let alone lose. Maitreya Buddha's move, retreating openly and forcing secretly, was really vicious.

In terms of the prize, the Buddhist sect did not suffer any loss. The Ten Thousand Poisons Jie Di only occupied the vicinity of the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain and did not subdue all the demon kings. Even if Zhou Qing won, he had to subdue them himself, but no one interfered. After subduing them, Zhou Qing could also confront the Wu Dang Sheng Mu behind the She Pan Mountain. Both sides consumed their strength, and the Ten Thousand Poisons Jie Di could also sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight in Xiniu Hezhou.

"If you are shameless, you are invincible in the world. Unfortunately, I can't do it with my current identity, so let's take a gamble. "Zhou Qing thought, if Maitreya Buddha and I had a real fight, Zhou Qing would certainly not be his opponent. Even if the twelve demon gods were all out, there would be no hope of winning. The best result would be that he could run away.

However, Maitreya is the Buddha from the East, and he would certainly not do such a thing as a loss of status by fighting with real swords. In this bet, Zhou Qing can use all his magic power, but Maitreya has some restrictions. Of course, he cannot use any means to attack, and can only make a fuss about the word "trapped".

"That's perfect. The Buddha from the East has this idea, so I'll just do it." Zhou Qing jumped into Maitreya Buddha's palm.

Liao Xiaojin was very nervous. This bet might affect his life, but he couldn't do anything about it: "Damn it, dead monk, you are strong today, but one day, I will twist your head off and use it as a stool!" A violent and murderous aura surged in Liao Xiaojin's heart.

Wen Lanxin and Lan Shen and others behind were also very nervous, but there was no way. If they went together, they would give others an excuse. They were bullied by others, but they had to negotiate carefully. Don't mention how angry they were.

Maitreya Buddha's palm had turned into a hundred miles in the sky, and the grain of sand also grew bigger and turned into a small mountain. Zhou Qing jumped up, and before Maitreya Buddha could speak, he jumped up and turned into a golden light and rushed away.

"Haha, the Emperor seems a little anxious!"

Maitreya Buddha smiled on the lotus platform, and his palm expanded rapidly. Zhou Qing flew three thousand miles in the blink of an eye, but he was still at the edge of the palm. It seemed that wherever he flew, the palm expanded. Zhou Qing had never seen Maitreya Buddha's magical power before. Even the Bull Demon King would be slapped to death by Maitreya like a fly.

Zhou Qing flew tens of thousands of miles in three breaths, but he couldn't get out of the palm. Afterwards, the Sanskrit chanting was loud, and the grain of sand changed and turned into a world with bodhi trees, golden palaces, and countless arhat monks reciting scriptures in it. A few dragon roars, and the eight heavenly dragons hovered over the heads of these arhats reciting scriptures, which was somewhat similar to the sacred mountain that Maitreya had just transformed into.

A Buddhist country in a grain of sand! This Maitreya finally made a formal move. Unlike before, this Buddha Kingdom was no longer an illusion, but a real entity. The Arhats and the Eight Heavenly Dragons in it were all his subordinates. He summoned them with magical powers and built a Buddha Kingdom in the sand.

The world was getting bigger and bigger, and a piece of auspicious light swept over behind Zhou Qing. As long as Zhou Qing stopped for a moment, he would be swept into the Buddha Kingdom in the sand. It would be a delusion to get out, and the bet would be lost.

"At my speed, I can't get out of the palm of this laughing monk!" Zhou Qing used all his magic power to fly away, but it was useless. He was always on the edge of his palm. He could see the outside world, but he couldn't get out of his palm. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the sea tide below.

"We've actually reached the sea. It seems that I have tried my best. I have to fight!" Zhou Qing gritted his teeth. The Buddhist kingdom behind him was getting closer and closer. The chanting of the Buddhist scriptures and the long chanting of the eight heavenly dragons seemed to be right beside his ears, disturbing his mind. Fortunately, Zhou Qing was determined and not shaken at all. Otherwise, if he slowed down, he would be involved in the Buddhist kingdom.

"The emperor can use whatever means he has. I will take over. If the emperor has no means, then he will lose." Maitreya Buddha's voice came leisurely, as if he was still in the same place.

Liao Xiaojin and others were still in the sky in front of the mountain. They saw Maitreya Buddha sitting on the lotus platform, with his big hand reaching into the void. At first, he could still see his head popping out in the distance. After a few breaths, he could no longer see a single star. Now, after hearing what Maitreya Buddha said, they all worried about Zhou Qing.

The way of heaven changes! Zhou Qing rushed forward, his body expanded hundreds of feet high, and changed into the appearance of an ancestor witch, with a human face and a bird body, four flesh wings on his back, and six claws on his chest, abdomen, and legs, just like the demon god that Yunxia summoned in the North Sea Eye to catch the sacred wisdom wolf.

Boom! Dark blood flowed out of Zhou Qing's seven orifices, and his body expanded ten times again, growing to thousands of feet. He was really a demon god who opened up the world.

A black gas emerged from his body and actually burned, forming a dark flame.

Zhou Qing forcibly injected all the endless power in the Hades flag into his body to maintain the changes and actions of this ancestor witch.

This change was completed in an instant. With a flap of the four flesh wings, Zhou Qing's speed suddenly increased a hundred times, as if he had directly shortened the distance in space. With a step, he disappeared, but he was 200,000 or 300,000 miles away.

Maitreya Buddha still had a smile on his face, but he could not sit still any longer. His lotus platform flashed, and he disappeared. Even the yellow-browed boy beside him disappeared, and no one knew where he went.

The twelve ancient witches of the prehistoric times were naturally extremely powerful, but each of them had a special ability. The witch Zhou Qing transformed into was best at speed. With the support of the Pluto flag, Zhou Qing's body was about to burst. He rushed forward desperately to consume his mana, and his speed reached an incredible level. Maitreya Buddha could not sit still any longer, and used all his mana to expand his palm, trying to trap Zhou Qing.

"Eight Heavenly Dragons!"

Maitreya issued a decree, and hundreds of large birds flew out from the Buddha Kingdom and swooped forward. One of the large birds with a tumor on its head swallowed the rest of the birds in one gulp, and flapped its wings to chase Zhou Qing who was flying in front. In these few breaths, it was unknown how many billions of miles it had traveled. No matter how powerful Maitreya Buddha was, he could not control a world. He exerted all his strength and finally controlled Zhou Qing in his hands, but he could only maintain the status quo. He had to ask Garuda among the Eight Heavenly Dragons to chase after him so that Zhou Qing could slow down, and then close his palm to lock Zhou Qing.

These Eight Heavenly Dragons were the original deities under Maitreya's seat, and they were incomparable to the ones Zhou Qing had summoned before.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "chila" out of nowhere, and a golden light flashed. The Garuda chasing Zhou Qing was actually taken away out of thin air. Maitreya Buddha was startled and distracted for a moment. Zhou Qing took off and fell, and no one knew where he went.

Just as the lotus platform appeared, Maitreya Buddha closed his palm, and there was no trace of Zhou Qing.

Fairy music and the sound of the piano sounded, and an emperor came from the sky on the Seven Fragrance Carriage, surrounded by dozens of fairies playing the piano and burning incense, holding various musical instruments. Next to the Seven Fragrance Carriage stood three ladies, holding swords, one holding a sword, one holding a golden dragon shears, and one holding a Hunyuan Golden Bowl.
