Chapter 509 No one knows Bailang Country better than me
Do you believe in light?
Now, Taoist Yonglin believes it.
Li Chu is the light in his heart.
In his opinion, the handsome young Taoist priest on the stage was not holding a shining red agate in his hand, but his family.
King Bailang looked at Baolilong, who was nodding his head in fear of being slow, and began to realize that something was wrong.
Of course he knew how powerful Suzaku was. When the pressure covered the whole city just now, he was not spared... He could only say that it was fortunate that the dragon robe was yellow and he happened to be angry.
But the king also weighed the pros and cons. He knew that the three national masters were all beloved disciples of Aurora Bodhisattva. Aurora Bodhisattva had boundless magical powers and was protected by the White Tiger. There was no reason for him to be afraid of the little Taoist priest.
If the Second National Master heard his thoughts like this, he would probably have to explain it to him first.
After all, the thinking of politicians is different from that of cultivators. In the eyes of politicians, all actions are carefully considered. I have a behemoth of the same level as you standing behind me, so you dare not touch me. You must weigh the importance of the matter no matter what.
But from the perspective of a cultivator, especially in front of a supreme being like Suzaku, killing a few state masters is just a matter of thought. Maybe he will kill you at random because he is not happy. At most, he will apologize to your master after killing you. Can he still fight for three dead people and a supreme being?
It is this difference in thinking that causes the monarch's approach to be completely different from that of the several national masters.
But he is not really a fool after all.
Hearing what Bao Lilong said, the king said hesitantly: "So in this round of fighting...even if Taoist Xiao Li wins?"
"No!" Bao Lilong suddenly shook his big head.
"Hmm?" Everyone's eyes focused again.
Then Bao Lilong said firmly: "Master Xiao Li won the first round. I lost!"
Li Chu looked at him and felt that this big head was indeed quite upright, so he bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Sanguo is really righteous."
"It should be so." Bao Lilong said righteously.
He even suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment in his heart. He was born in the countryside, and whenever he left his master's seat, he would be like a devil. When had he ever been so disciplined? When had he ever been praised like this?
Thinking of this, Master Sanguo showed a proud smile on his face.
"But if this happens..." The king looked unhappy, "The national religion of Bailang will have to be changed again..."
"Your Majesty..." Taoist Priest Yonglin finally calmed down his excitement, stepped forward and said, "I have been thinking for a long time. Both Buddhism and Taoism are ways to persuade people to be good. Why do we have to fight to the death? As long as my Taoist disciples are not oppressed, I am willing to let Buddhism and Taoism coexist in Bailang. Then we can compete in a healthy way and take turns to be the state religion. Isn't it beautiful?"
"That's great." The Second State Master also nodded and said, "The two religions can indeed compete in a healthy way. One religion will be the ruling religion, and the other will be the opposition religion, supervising the ruling religion's good and bad. There will always be someone supervising to prevent one religion from dominating."
"But this is not a healthy competition, is it?" The king pondered, "If the ruling religion is in power and relies on the power in its hands to control the government, and the opposition religion wins the support of the people and wants to take power, but the leader of the ruling religion is unwilling to hand over power, and a commotion breaks out, what should we do?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty..." The Grand Master patted his chest, "No one knows Bailang Country better than me..."
…
In fact, Taoist Yonglin's move was a smart one.
Because he knew clearly in his heart that his lucky victory was all thanks to Li Chu's presence. As long as the master and apprentice of Deyun Temple were together, the three state masters would not dare to act arrogantly.
But what about Li Chu?
The Bailang National Dao Sect led by himself is still unable to compete with others. Even if they make a comeback today, they will still be attacked by others in the future.
It is better to strive to create a situation where the two religions coexist and live in peace. It seems that we have taken a step back and given Buddhism a living space. In fact, we have taken a step forward and given Taoism a living space in the future.
Having been the imperial teacher for so many years, his mind is still extremely clear at critical moments.
In addition, it may be that the burden on his shoulders today is too heavy, which has brought him too much pressure. Now that he has breathed a sigh of relief, his ambitions have diminished.
I never knew before that having family while alive and being buried in the ancestral tomb after death could be such a happy thing.
In short.
The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in Bailang Kingdom has come to an end.
But the turmoil does not end there.
…
The so-called lotus platform subdues the white tiger, and all things worship the Aurora.
The Western Regions are a complex and intertwined country with numerous mountaintops. Since ancient times, no single power has been able to unify this land. If one were to choose a person with the highest status and the greatest influence, it would definitely not be the king of any country.
The only candidate can only be that person.
On the Wanfa Mountain, in the ancient Lotus Temple, in front of the White Tiger Seat, is the Aurora Bodhisattva.
Even the Tong who is said to be invincible in the world in Baiyujing on the Kunlun Mountains a little further away cannot compare with him.
Because this is not entirely about power, it is more about the power of faith.
There is some turmoil in the Liantai Ancient Temple today.
Because a few days ago, the three brothers who vowed to practice in the secular world suddenly came back. They looked a little shabby and seemed to have encountered some setbacks.
This is not a very rare thing in ancient temples.
The three national masters did not waste time talking to their fellow disciples, but went straight to the small temple on the back mountain of the ancient temple and stood there quietly.
Soon, a handsome young man in brocade clothes, holding a black cat with heterochromatic eyes in his arms, came up to the three of them and said softly, "Brothers, I've brought our Master here."
The three national masters all bowed to the person in front of them, "Master!"
When looking closely, they saw that they were not saluting the young man, but the black cat in his arms.
Anyone who knows a little about Wanfa Mountain actually knows that Aurora Bodhisattva has two cats.
A big white cat named Baihu is well-known to everyone. A small black cat named Xumi is less famous. But in many cases, this little Xumi is the substitute of Aurora Bodhisattva.
The one who raised the cats for him on the mountain was one of his most beloved disciples, the second prince from the Bulao City in the Western Regions, Ye Shuo.
If Li Chu were here, he would probably be able to recognize this person. When he was in Shenluo City, he adhered to the principle of "too many masters are better than one burden" and wanted to worship Li Chu as his master.
In the Lotus Terrace Ancient Temple, Aurora Bodhisattva has hundreds of disciples. But there are many kinds of disciples. Some are beloved disciples, such as the three national masters, who are actually in this category. Some are child disciples, who are taught by Aurora Bodhisattva since childhood, and Ye Shuo is one of them.
"Master, we disciples are here to inform you of a piece of news about a young Taoist priest from Jiangnan."
"My name is Li Chu."
Upon hearing this name, Ye Shuo, the disciple who was holding a cat in his arms, suddenly brightened up his eyes.
