Chapter 282 Alliance
The golden light faded away.
I saw this Taoist wearing a brown robe.
His face was gaunt, with three strands of beard under his chin.
Holding an ordinary seven-branched branch, he looked at himself with a smile.
Li Qing frowned suddenly.
This person was obviously not Amitabha, but after Li Qing looked at the branch in his hand, his identity became clear.
Name: Zhunti.
Identity: The second leader of the Western religion, the great saint.
Strength: Unknown.
Kung Fu: None.
Magic weapon: None.
Luck: None.
Immortal level evaluation: unknown.
The person who came was none other than the Taoist Master Zhunti, one of the Six Saints of the Great Dao.
The Human Emperor System is still unable to detect the Saint level, unless Li Qing can bear the pain and spend 200 attribute points to unlock the light of insight.
But it doesn't make sense.
Therefore, Li Qing simply said: "Since Jie Yin couldn't come, it's quite interesting to ask you to come instead."
"My brother..."
"Don't be so selfish, what are you doing in front of me?"
But before Zhunti could speak, Li Qing suddenly waved his hand and said indifferently.
For a moment, Zhunti's smiling face froze. After a moment, he exhaled and said, "My brother is in charge of the Western Paradise Buddhist Sect. His Dharma body cannot be easily moved. Otherwise, it will stir up the secrets of heaven and attract the attention of Laojun and Yuanshi."
"Although my brother can't come, I am the Second Patriarch of the Western Religion. Now that I'm here, it won't be considered as neglecting you, the Human Emperor, right?"
Zhunti asked slowly with a calm expression.
Li Qing nodded slightly and said, "Not really, not really. Hmm, have you eaten yet? Let's eat together."
Zhunti was stunned for a moment. He looked at the relaxed Human Emperor who was talking to him while eating. After a moment, he said, "I'm not hungry."
"Not hungry? What a shame. Among the three meals a day, breakfast is the most important."
When Li Qing heard this, he smiled, then picked up a Five Elements Treasure Egg, took a bite, and shook his head.
For a moment, Zhunti didn't even know how to respond.
But after a pause, he adjusted himself and then said calmly, "Your Majesty met my brother by chance in Xiniu Hezhou that day, and during our conversation, he mentioned that he wanted to designate our Western Religion as the state religion of the Great Shang Dynasty, right?"
Li Qing raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Hmm..."
A look of joy appeared in Zhunti's eyes for a moment, but then he heard what Li Qing said next.
"This egg tastes good. You can cook an extra one tomorrow."
"His Majesty."
Zhunti's face trembled suddenly, and he spoke in a deep voice.
He is the Great Dao Sage, the Supreme Being of Heaven and Earth. Now that he has arrived in person, you, the Human Emperor, refuse to pay your respects. Let's just say you are the Lord of the Earth, on equal footing with me. That's fine, but what does your perfunctory attitude mean? Do you think I, the Western Cult, have come to beg you?!
Upon hearing this, Li Qing smiled calmly and said, "Why, you didn't even mention the previous conditions, and now you're asking me if I should designate your Western religion as the state religion?"
Zhunti smiled and said, "The Great Shang Dynasty is now in turmoil. Although your Majesty, whose mind was clouded by Nuwa, has somehow regained consciousness and understood the secrets of heaven, with the Three Saints signing the Conferred God List, the rise of the Western Zhou Dynasty is inevitable. Without the help of our Western Religion, Your Majesty, the Great Shang Dynasty will be unable to resist the fate of heaven."
"Oh, if I can't stop you, then why are you here?"
Li Qing nodded, looked at Zhunti and asked nonchalantly.
"Your Majesty, are you unwilling to cooperate with my Western religion?"
When Zhunti heard this, he frowned and asked Li Qing in a deep voice.
"Zhunti, remember, it is you, the Western Sect, who are cooperating with me, the Great Merchant."
Li Qing, however, had eaten and drunk his fill. He wiped his mouth, raised his hand and nodded, and said, "Your Western Sect has been living in Xiniu Hezhou for dozens of epochs, oppressed by the Three Pure Ones, and has had no chance to preach at all. This catastrophe, to put it nicely, is a result of fate, but to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun using this opportunity to destroy my Great Shang and Jie Sect. If you, the Western Sect, do not seize this unique opportunity and cooperate with me, then even if my Great Shang is destroyed in the future, your Western Sect will be forever and ever, unable to make a breakthrough for billions of epochs. Do you understand?"
Only then did Zhunti understand.
Even if we are cooperating, we must prioritize!
This Human Emperor wants to be the master!
But the original meaning of Zhunti is mainly Western religion!
For a moment, Zhunti's face was cold and stern: "My Western Sect may not be able to survive this calamity, but there will always be the next calamity. But Your Majesty, and your Great Shang, there will be no next chance!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
For a moment, Li Qing suddenly laughed!
Li Qing looked at Zhunti with a mocking look and said, "The Ji family of the Western Zhou Dynasty, in order to gain a foundation, lowered their dignity and became a disciple of a saint. From then on, they were inferior to each other. If he becomes the Human Emperor in the future, will he still be the Human Emperor? Or will he be the Lord of the Earth, equal to saints like you? I'm afraid he will be a running dog of the Xianjiao! And the land ruled by a running dog, how can it not be manipulated by the master's mind? How could their master, Yuanshi Tianzun, allow your Buddhism to infiltrate even a little bit? Zhunti, you are also a saint, but you still need me to point out this thought!"
Li Qing's words immediately made Zhunti frown!
Yes.
Before, he was only thinking about whether he should take advantage of this calamity to recruit and absorb people from Jiejiao and Da Shang, so as to strengthen the influence of Western religion.
But I never thought about it more deeply!
If the Ji family were to rule the Dongsheng Continent in the future, what would happen to his own Western Religion?
I'm afraid that if Yuanshi Tianzun gives an order, there will not be a single Western Buddhist disciple in the entire Dongsheng Continent!
At that time, it would have been countless times more difficult for Western religions to infiltrate than it is now!
