"snort!"
Duobao Tathagata snorted coldly, and the pressure of a peak quasi-saint came crashing down.
Behind him, the shadow of a ten-thousand-foot-tall golden Buddha appeared, and the shadow of a golden lotus of merit slowly rotated under his feet.
The majestic Buddha's power fiercely pressed down on the calamity energy in the two people's bodies.
"puff!"
Manjusri and Samantabhadra simultaneously spat out golden blood mixed with gray. Their faces turned pale, but the madness in their eyes had finally faded away temporarily.
They regained their consciousness and recalled everything that had happened in the manor before, and the blood instantly drained from their faces.
"Disciple...disciple deserves death!"
Manjushri Bodhisattva knelt on the ground.
"Please punish me, Buddha!"
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva also had a look of fear and shock on his face, and kowtowed repeatedly to Duobao Tathagata.
They could never have imagined that they would have the idea of devouring Qin Monk's flesh and blood, and even turn against their fellow disciples.
Duobao Tathagata said calmly, his mighty voice echoing, "This matter is not your fault."
"Now in the Southern Continent, the calamity energy has reached its peak. Even a quasi-saint may be corroded by his Tao heart, let alone you."
He raised his eyes and looked towards the east. "That place has long been a purgatory on earth. The demon monks who have been corroded by the calamity energy regard mortals as blood food and devour each other just to seek a glimmer of hope in the endless killing."
"This catastrophe has completely gotten out of control."
The words of Tathagata Many Treasures made all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas present feel a chill in their hearts.
Even the Bodhisattvas at the level of Daluo Jinxian in Buddhism were not spared, so what about others?
To what extent will this world become in chaos?
Duobao Tathagata was silent for a long time, and finally stood up from the lotus platform: "Follow me."
He turned and walked towards the back mountain of the Great Leiyin Temple.
Guanyin and other Bodhisattvas followed immediately.
The place they were going to was the forbidden area of Lingshan, where the Buddhas of the past and future practiced meditation.
Things have come to this.
This catastrophe is no longer something that a modern Buddha like him can bear alone.
The future Buddha palace will be pure and solemn.
The ancient Buddha Dipankara sits cross-legged under a glass lamp, his eyes slightly closed, as if he is not concerned about anything.
Maitreya Buddha still had that smiling face with a big belly, as if the sky falling had nothing to do with him.
When Duobao Tathagata walked into the hall with a group of Bodhisattvas, Maitreya looked over.
Many Treasures Tathagata bowed eleven times to the two of them. "Dandakyan Buddha, Maitreya Buddha."
The ancient Buddha opened his eyes slowly and said calmly, "What's the matter?"
Tathagata said in short, "The calamity energy is out of control. The journey to the west is no longer a journey to obtain the scriptures. The southern continent has become a bloody land. My Buddhist disciples are also showing signs of being possessed by demons."
"This disaster has far exceeded our expectations. I wonder if you two have any good plans?"
After listening to this, the ancient Buddha Ran Deng still had a calm expression on his face: "You are the current Buddha, the master of Lingshan. It is up to you to decide what the calamity will be."
With just one sentence, he cleared himself of all blame.
Duobao Tathagata's face darkened and he turned to look at Maitreya Buddha beside him.
Maitreya Buddha was still smiling: "Buddha, the great calamity cannot be controlled, it is a destiny. All we can do now is to try our best to protect ourselves and prevent more disciples from being corrupted by the calamity and falling into the devil's way."
"In my opinion, we may need to ask Qin Ting for help in this matter."
"Qin Crown Prince Zhao Feng has a 12th-grade Pure World White Lotus in his hand. This treasure is the ultimate in purification and should be able to restrain the calamity energy."
Upon hearing this, Duobao Tathagata immediately said, "Qin Ting's intention to destroy our Buddhist sect has not died. He has gone west to spread the Dharma. His intention is obvious. How could they help us at this moment?"
"They hope that our Buddhist sect, along with the world, will perish in this catastrophe."
Maitreya Buddha smiled even more and said calmly, "That may not be the case."
immediately.
Maitreya slowly sat up straight and looked at Duobao Tathagata: "Daoyou, if I can persuade Qin Ting, please ask the Prince Qin to help our Buddhist sect survive this disaster."
"When the great calamity is over, I will take 60% of the merits and luck from this calamity."
As soon as these words came out.
The entire Buddhist palace fell silent in an instant.
Even the calm face of the ancient Buddha, Rāhula, was disturbed.
Duobao Tathagata opened his eyes wide and looked at Maitreya in disbelief.
Sixty percent!
This is simply asking for too much!
The Journey to the West is the foundation for the rise of Buddhism. The merits and fortune contained in it are so great that even saints are moved by it.
Maitreya, actually wants to swallow most of it in one gulp?
Maitreya seemed not to notice the shocked expressions of the crowd, and continued to look at Duobao Tathagata with a smile.
Don't be impatient.
There was a struggle between the conscience and the desire in Tathagata's heart.
On one hand, there is the bleak future of Buddhism, which may suffer heavy losses in the catastrophe.
On the other hand, the foundation for the future prosperity of Buddhism is about to be dug away by human beings.
for a long time.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."
Upon seeing this, the ancient Buddha Dipankara just shook his head slightly, and finally closed his eyes and said no more.
"good."
Maitreya Buddha smiled and stood up from the cushion: "Speaking of which, when Da Qin was still in the mortal world, I had some old feelings with Da Qin. This time I go there, it's a good opportunity to talk about it."
Maitreya Buddha's figure flashed, and an incarnation quietly left Lingshan.
He did not alarm anyone, but turned into an inconspicuous streak of light, and flew straight across the vast territories of Xiniuhezhou and Nanzhanbuzhou, heading towards Dongshengshenzhou.
He was extremely fast and in a flash he had arrived outside the Qin territory.
However.
The Jiuzhou barrier that covers the entire Shenzhou and the East China Sea is like a golden sky curtain, emitting boundless human dragon energy, blocking all outsiders out.
Maitreya Buddha just approached.
Buzz!
The entire Kyushu barrier trembled violently!
Above the golden light curtain, countless mysterious runes suddenly lit up, and a terrifying aura powerful enough to change color even a quasi-saint instantly locked onto the incarnation of Maitreya Buddha.
"Stop now!"
"Anyone who trespasses into the Qin Empire will die!"
Cold and majestic voices sounded from all directions.
The next moment.
Dozens of figures appeared silently around Maitreya Buddha and surrounded him.
These people were all dressed in the black robes offered by the Great Qin. Each of them had a heavy and solemn aura like a mountain, and a strong aura of iron and blood lingered around them.
Everyone's cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the supreme martial arts.
Comparable to the Golden Immortal!
Dozens of powerful Daluo Jinxian-level warriors suddenly appeared and surrounded the incarnation of the future Buddha.
Even with the character of Maitreya Buddha, when he saw such a scene, a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed across his unchanging smiling face.
He watched the Great Qin rise step by step from the mortal world, but he never expected that the Great Qin today had such a strong foundation.
Dozens of Daluo masters will go out as soon as they are told to.
Looking throughout the three realms, has there ever been anyone with such strength, except for the three tribes of Dragon and Han and the two tribes of Lich in the past?
"Amitabha." Maitreya Buddha put his hands together and bowed to the people around him. His face returned to that smiling look. "I am Maitreya, and I have an old acquaintance with your dynasty's Crown Prince Zhao Feng. I came here to ask for an audience with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I hope you will give me some convenience."
I heard him introduce himself and say that he came to see the prince.
The dozens of Qin priests present all looked a little surprised and glanced at each other.
The future Buddha Maitreya is well-known in the three realms.
However, they did not let down their guard.
An old friend of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Who knows whether it is true or not.
Just when the atmosphere on the field was deadlocked.
Ying Zheng's majestic and solemn voice came from the Qin Palace above the nine heavens: "Let him in."
Hearing this voice, the dozens of Qin priests with terrifying auras bowed without hesitation and said, "As you wish!"
The words fell.
Their figures flashed, and then they disappeared into the void as silently as they appeared, disappearing without a trace.
Immediately following.
The indestructible Kyushu barrier slowly opened up a gap, just big enough for one person to pass through.
A golden staircase paved with human dragon energy extends from the gap all the way to the feet of Maitreya Buddha.
Maitreya Buddha looked at the scene before him and his heart was filled with turmoil.
The discipline of the Great Qin, the strength of the Great Qin, and the emperor who sat on the Heavenly Palace and could command dozens of Daluo with just a word...
All this was far beyond his expectations.
He collected his thoughts, with an unchanging smile on his face, stepped onto the golden staircase, and walked towards the Great Qin Palace step by step.
…
The Great Qin Palace.
The moment Maitreya Buddha stepped into the hall, he was completely stunned.
The figure sitting high on the Nine Dragon Throne, wearing a black dragon robe, a flat crown on his head, and with a majestic face, was none other than Ying Zheng, whom he had met once in the mortal world.
only.
The Ying Zheng at this moment was completely different from the ordinary emperor in his memory.
A strong aura of humanity and destiny lingered around him, and his aura was perfectly integrated with the destiny of the entire Qin Dynasty and the dragon veins of this world.
In the eyes of Maitreya Buddha, Ying Zheng was like an abyssal ocean. No matter how he used his Buddhist powers, he could not see through its depth.
How is this possible!
In the past on earth, Ying Zheng had never even set foot on the path to immortality.
How long has it been?
It has grown to the point that even he, the future Buddha, cannot see through it!
"Future Buddha, I haven't seen you for many years, but you still look as good as ever."
Sitting on the imperial throne, Ying Zheng looked at Maitreya whose expression changed in the hall, and spoke softly with a hint of smile in his voice.
Maitreya Buddha's heart trembled, and he quickly suppressed the turmoil in his heart. He clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng, "I am Maitreya, the poor monk, and I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor of Qin. Your Majesty has unparalleled power and boundless luck, and is truly a blessing to the world."
"sit."
Ying Zheng raised his hand and signaled the eunuch beside him to take a seat.
After a brief greeting.
Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Maitreya, and he asked directly: "The future Buddha is not in Lingshan for meditation. Why did you come here from afar today?"
Maitreya Buddha chuckled and did not answer directly. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "I came here because there is something I do not understand and I would like to ask Your Majesty for advice."
"I heard that some time ago, the Immortal Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple and the Queen Mother of the West of West Kunlun each obtained a ninth-grade Pure World White Lotus, set up a large formation, purified the calamity energy in the area, and protected hundreds of millions of lives."
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ying Zheng. "As far as I know, this Pure World White Lotus has long been extinct in the prehistoric world. I wonder where these two major forces got this treasure from? Could it be... that they are related to the Qin Dynasty?"
He is testing.
I want to judge the true relationship between Qin and these two major forces from Ying Zheng’s reaction.
However.
After listening to this, there was no expression on Ying Zheng's face. He just picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and smiled without saying a word.
Neither admit nor deny.
That calm look made Maitreya Buddha feel heavy in his heart.
He immediately realized that his little trick would have no effect in front of this humane emperor.
Since testing is useless.
Maitreya Buddha simply stopped beating around the bush, sighed, and said bluntly: "To be honest with your Majesty, the reason I came here is precisely because of the matter of calamity energy."
"Now the calamity is overwhelming, and our Buddhist sect has also suffered greatly. Many disciples have lost their minds and fallen on the edge of evil. I want to ask Daqin for a good medicine to save our Buddhist sect from the water and fire."
He looked at Ying Zheng with a sincere expression, "I, a poor monk, would like to ask Your Majesty to bestow the Pure World White Lotus."
Ying Zheng put down his teacup and said calmly, "Future Buddha, I don't quite understand what you said."
He leaned forward slightly, and an invisible imperial aura spread out: "Buddhism and our Great Qin have always been enemies."
"Your Buddhist disciples are deeply trapped in the aura of disaster, which is a great thing for our Great Qin. Why should I help?"
Maitreya Buddha's expression remained unchanged. He had expected Ying Zheng to say this. He clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, please feel free to tell me what you want."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and thought highly of Maitreya's decisiveness.
He appreciated this kind of quick talk.
"Since the future Buddha is so straightforward, I might as well speak frankly."
Ying Zheng leaned back on the throne and said calmly, "I don't want anything from your Buddhist sect."
"But, what can your Buddhist sect give me?"
Ying Zheng threw the question back exactly as it was.
The hall fell into silence for a moment.
For the first time, the smile on Maitreya Buddha's face seemed a little forced.
He originally wanted Ying Zheng to make the first offer so that he would have room to bargain.
However, he never expected that this emperor was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined and did not play by the rules at all.
There was silence for a moment.
Maitreya Buddha spoke again, trying to take back the initiative: "Your Majesty is the ruler of the Great Qin, and you have the whole world in your heart."
"Please make it clear, Your Majesty. As long as our Buddhist sect can give, we will certainly not be stingy."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng laughed out loud.
"good!"
"Since the Future Buddha is so sincere, then I will not be polite."
Ying Zheng stopped laughing, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "I want the twelfth-grade Karma Fire Red Lotus."
As soon as these words came out.
The smile on Maitreya Buddha's face froze instantly.
The twelfth level of karmic fire - red lotus!
That is the companion treasure of the ancestor of the Blood Sea and the Styx. It is unparalleled in killing and defense, and is one of the most top-notch innate spiritual treasures in the prehistoric world!
More importantly, the Styx Patriarch and Buddhism are old enemies!
The Blood Sea Ashura clan is currently fighting with the Buddhist sect on the border of Xiniu Hezhou, with blood flowing like a river.
This move by Ying Zheng was clearly intended to let the Buddhist sect fight to the death with the ancestor of the Styx!
Maitreya Buddha's voice was a little dry: "Your Majesty... this is not a joke."
"Are you kidding?" Ying Zheng smiled, stretched out his hand, and a light flashed on his palm.
Two pure white lotus seeds emitting a soft glow were quietly floating above his palm.
Ying Zheng looked at Maitreya and said, "As long as the Buddhist sect can bring the Twelve-Level Karma Fire Red Lotus to me."
"I will present these two ninth-grade Pure World White Lotus seeds to you with both hands."
