Master Bai Yuan is very depressed now.

After much difficulty, a good seedling was discovered, but it was intercepted by the Buddhist sect, who insisted that the person might be a disciple of Buddha.

If they had simply said that the child had a connection with Buddhism, Bai Yuan would have been able to retort immediately, but they insisted on saying that he was a Buddhist, which made things difficult.

Buddha's disciples and natural Taoist disciples are listed as the two most extraordinary talents in the world of cultivation. Every generation of Buddha's disciples and Taoist disciples are well-deserved influential figures and spiritual leaders in the world of cultivation.

The reason why Tiandao Sect is the number one sect in the world of cultivation is that they not only have a leader who was born with a natural Tao seed, but also a chief disciple who was also born with a natural Tao seed.

So if Le Jing is really a Buddhist, they in the Dao Sect really can't keep him. If they dare to keep him, those bald donkeys will fight them to the death!

But what if it isn't?

What if the Buddhist sect guessed wrong?

After all, Buddhists are always born in places with a strong Buddhist connection. This place is the sphere of influence of Taoism. If they are really Buddhists, why would they join Taoism?

And... Bai Yuan actually had a secret idea in his mind, maybe that child was born with Taoism?

Bai Yuan was extremely angry with the Tiandao Sect. Why did they get all the benefits? Their Linqing Sect was not bad either. Why couldn't they also recruit a natural Taoist disciple?

This might be the chance for their Linqing sect!

…

Le Jing felt as if he had become a rare animal, being surrounded by a group of Taoists and monks, especially Bai Yuan Zhenren, who claimed to be the head of the Linqing School. The look in his eyes was so fiery that he felt like he was looking at his dream lover, which made him feel sick.

He didn't understand why his physical examination was so extraordinarily fussy, and why this fuss was only for him, while they didn't even bother to look at Su Jian and Kun Huo.

If Le Jing still cannot see the undercurrents beneath the surface of Buddhism and Taoism being one family, he has lost his mind.

Hui Wu glanced at the Taoists around him with sharp eyes and sighed in his heart.

The Buddhist sect confirmed that the methods of the Buddhist disciples were a secret that was not disclosed to the public, but he knew that even if he drove these Taoists away now, they would not leave.

They want to see the evidence with their own eyes.

They also wanted to spy on the Buddhist sect's methods of identifying Buddhist disciples.

Of course, the most important thing is that they want to test the attitude of Buddhism. Now that the Buddha has been born, will Buddhism change its evasive attitude of the past century and come up with other ideas? Will there be a conflict between Buddhism and Taoism?

Hui Wu understood their thoughts, but couldn't say much.

After all, this is a Taoist sect.

and……

He drooped his eyelids, hiding the brilliance in them.

They have been hiding for so long, it's time to let these Taoists see what they are capable of.

The appearance of the Buddha's son in the world is the best time for the Buddhist sect to revive and rebuild its reputation.

Now is the best time.

Le Jing is the best Buddhist disciple, and now is the best time to publicize the return of the Buddhist disciple to the cultivation world.

It doesn't matter if he is not a Buddhist. At least they can use this opportunity to show their abilities so that the Taoist sect will not look down on Buddhism because of its avoidance over the years.

If one wants to publicize the power of Buddhism, the most suitable treasure is indeed the Pure Land Sect's.

Hui Wu then reached into the air, carefully picked out a seed and placed it in the palm of his hand.

"Little donor, please take this seed."

When the Taoists around saw the seed lying in Hui Wu's palm, they all gasped at the same time.

The seeds are golden brown in color, and the densely packed ancient golden Sanskrit characters are like a protective barrier, floating in the air and rotating around the seeds. A vast and mysterious artistic conception from ancient times vibrates and spreads in the small space, conveying a sense of immortality and eternity.

At that moment, someone shouted out loud: "Bodhi Buddha fruit?"

"You actually summoned this divine object!"

"I heard that the Bodhi fruit can only be kept and used by the abbot of the Pure Land Sect. How did it end up in your hands?"

The Buddha Bodhi is the treasure of the Pure Land Sect. Its history is even longer than that of the Pure Land Sect. Its origin is no longer traceable. The most widely circulated saying in the world of cultivation is that the Buddha Bodhi is the seed of the Bodhi tree under which the Buddha attained enlightenment.

Since the beginning of the history of the cultivation world, the Bodhi Buddha fruit has composed various magical legends. The most well-known of these is the battle between humans and demons a hundred years ago. The abbot at that time, Master Hui Tong, used the Bodhi Buddha fruit to transcend and purify the resentful souls and evil spirits of 100,000 demons.

Someone with a quick mind immediately blurted out, "Could it be that only the Bodhi fruit can verify the identity of a Buddha?"

Hui Wu smiled slightly and did not answer those people's questions.

When the seed appeared, Le Jing's eyes were deeply attracted. His eyes were slightly hot, and a pure and warm power surged into his eyes, spreading and wandering throughout his body.

He didn't know how strange he looked in Hui Wu's eyes at this moment.

The boy's clear and translucent glass eyes clearly reflected the ancient golden Sanskrit characters floating above the seeds. His face was tense, and his eyes showed no joy or sadness, just like a god or Buddha sitting on a lotus platform.

The Bodhi Buddha fruit that had been staying peacefully in Hui Wu's palm suddenly broke free from Hui Wu's palm, floating in the air with a golden light. An airflow transformed from an invisible deterrent force slowly swept around from it.

The Taoists and monks present all changed color. Wherever the airflow passed, no matter whether you were a Taoist leader or a Buddhist Zen master, your face would turn pale, and you would stagger and kneel on the ground.

Kunhuo tucked his tail between his legs and lay on the ground trembling. He felt a familiar and terrifying aura from Bodhi Buddha Fruit, and in a trance he seemed to see Bodhi Buddha Fruit piercing his heart.

He blinked again and realized it was just an illusion.

Among the kneeling people, only the boy in the middle stood upright as before. He slowly stretched out his hand, and saw the Bodhi Buddha fruit quickly fall into his palm.

The next moment, golden light shone in all directions, like the rising sun falling to the ground, bursting out with incomparable brilliance, offering endless light and heat, making people dare not look directly at it.

Kun Huo's eyes were immediately filled with physiological tears, but he persisted and tried hard to keep his eyes open, watching everything seriously.

Kunhuo was not the only creature present who chose to do so.

The surprise on Hui Wu's face faded away, and he was filled with wild surprise. Through his tearful eyes, he saw the Bodhi fruit quickly sprouting branches and leaves, and a golden Bodhi tree shadow appeared in the boy's small palm. Then, there were bursts of Sanskrit sounds, the fragrance of lotus, and a huge golden Buddha statue looming in the sky.

Son of Buddha!

It’s a son of Buddha!

Hui Wu Lao shed tears.

One hundred years.

With the help of gods and Buddhas in the sky, their Buddhist sect finally has a Buddhist son again!

There is hope for the great prosperity of the human race!

Le Jing had never felt so comfortable.

His whole body seemed to be soaked in warm water, and he felt warm all over and so light that he seemed as if he didn't exist.

He closed his eyes, and his consciousness suddenly appeared in a strange space. Everywhere he looked was a sparkling lake, and he lay quietly at the bottom of the lake, feeling an indescribable calm and tranquility.

After an unknown amount of time, Le Jing slowly opened his eyes, and found that everyone in the room was either lying or sprawled, looking as miserable as a typhoon.

The Bodhi Buddha Fruit was lying obediently in the palm of his hand. At this moment, it had retracted its divine light, and it was completely invisible that it was the culprit for the current mess.

"Amitabha, such a strange vision, the little donor is our Buddhist sect's Buddha!" Hui Wu excitedly got up from the ground, looking at Le Jing with excited tears in his eyes, "Buddha bless! I finally found the Buddha!"

Le Jing: "...Buddha's son?"

"That's right, a Buddhist child!" A young monk excitedly joined the conversation, "Bodhi Buddhahood has recognized you, so you are the Buddhist child of this generation of our Buddhist sect!"

The two people's voices finally awakened many people in the room, and they immediately started talking:

"He is actually a Buddhist!"

“I didn’t expect that the Buddha’s son would appear here!”

Some even said: "Since the Buddhist has come to the Ascension Gate, it proves that he has a heart to seek the truth, and we should respect his wishes."

As soon as these words came out, they stirred up a hornet's nest. A monk immediately said, "Daoyou, what you said is wrong. The cultivation methods of Buddhism and Taoism are different. The cultivation of Taoism by Buddhists is like hiding a pearl in the dark. It is a waste of natural resources!"

"That's right. Buddhist disciples have a deep affinity with Buddhism and are naturally suited to practicing Buddhist techniques. Taoist techniques will destroy their foundation and hinder their practice!"

The monks and Taoists were cursing at each other, but Le Jing remained silent.

No wonder a fool’s eyes can see cause and effect.

If we say that fools are children of Buddha, then that makes sense.

The old monk suddenly asked Le Jing: "What do you think, donor? Do you want to practice Taoism or study Buddhism?"

Le Jing said calmly: "I personally don't care about what to practice. In my opinion, practicing Buddhism or Taoism are just ways for me to gain power. Their essence is to serve my goal."

"Excuse me, what is your goal?"

Le Jing recalled the fool's childish speech that day.

How simple and yet great are these three words “Don’t die”.

He met the old monk's inquiring eyes impartially and said firmly: "The world is at peace."

The old monk laughed heartily, and looked at Le Jing with a deep warmth in his eyes. "In that case, you should practice Buddhism."

"Since you have made a great wish to save all sentient beings, you should join our Buddhist sect and practice Mahayana Buddhism. Only then can you achieve Buddhahood, obtain a golden body, and bring peace to the world for all eternity."

"And with your talent, studying Buddhism will only get twice the result with half the effort, and you will progress faster and realize your ambition more easily."

Le Jing is not stupid, why not take the shortcut?

Judging from his realization just now, his body is indeed closer to Buddhism.

Now, the only question is… “Which Buddhist temple will I enter?”

Hui Wu said with a straight face, "Of course we have to go to our Pure Land Sect. Half a month ago, it was our Pure Land Sect's abbot, Master Hui Tong, who dreamed of you, that allowed us to find you."

"No, you should go to our Huayan Temple!" the young monk said loudly, "We have the largest collection of books in Huayan Temple!"

"We have the Buddha's true scriptures hidden in our White Horse Temple!"

This question successfully caused an internal conflict among the monks who had just united to debate with the Taoists, and they began to argue about the ownership of Le Jing.

Le Jing didn't interrupt either. They had to come up with a result anyway.

He just suddenly remembered an interesting coincidence between the history of this world and the history of the earth.

The country where the fool lived was called Liang, and its name was Yong'an. In terms of the level of productivity development, it was equivalent to the Ming Dynasty.

What’s more coincidental is that Liang Taizu, like Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, was born in poverty and also led the rebel army to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the previous dynasty and establish a new dynasty.

And in the future that the fool sees, this dynasty will eventually be destroyed by foreigners.

It is just like the tragedy of “Ten Days of Yangzhou and Three Massacres of Jiading” when the Qing Dynasty conquered the Ming Dynasty.

Everything seems to be a reappearance of old history.

"Le Jing, are you going to Buddhism?"

Le Jing turned around and met Su Jian's conflicted gaze.

"Yes."

Su Jian thought for a few seconds and asked tentatively: "How about I join the Buddhist sect as well?"
