The more Zhong You listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask the Buddha, what is the matter with the joint war?"

The Buddha was indifferent, and Xuan Tang answered on the side: "Confucianism and Buddhism have concluded an alliance, Buddhism is preparing to conquer the Chu State, Confucianism, as an ally, shouldn't it help?"

Zhong You was stunned when he heard this: "But ......"

As soon as the words came out, he was interrupted by Xuan Tang and said: "Zhong You sage just said that Confucianism and Buddhism have joined forces to deal with Taoism, but when Buddhism needs Confucianism to help but is struggling, is the sincerity shown by Confucianism so unbearable?"

Zhong You smiled bitterly and said: "Master Xuantang misunderstood, I didn't mean this here, but I just sent troops to discuss such a major matter, I should first ask my master Confucian Sage, discuss the details, and then implement it." ”

"Now that my master and Confucian saint are completely ignorant of this, if you blame it, how can you bear it?"

The Buddha said indifferently: "The Confucian saint sent you to conclude an alliance, but he didn't give you the slightest decision? How do you make this seat believe that Confucianism is a sincere alliance?"

"If you really encounter something big, is it that the Confucian saint will be able to veto the covenant if you can't be the master?"

"With such an alliance, is it still necessary for this seat to conclude a treaty with Confucianism? Isn't it only allowed to take advantage of Confucianism and let Buddhism suffer?"

Zhong Yu smiled awkwardly and said: "Confucianism has no such intention, the Buddha must not misunderstand, so as not to hurt the friendship between Confucianism and Buddhism." ”

The Buddha said indifferently, "Really?"

Zhong You's face was slightly correct and said: "Of course, if the Buddha doesn't believe it, you can communicate with my master and Confucian sage face to face." ”

Xuantang said angrily: "Confucianism seeks an alliance with Buddhism, but wants the world to find a Confucian saint, how can it be reasonable?"

Zhong You hurriedly explained: "Master Xuantang should not be misunderstood, I am saying that I can be used as a medium to let my master Confucian and the Buddha communicate face-to-face. ”

After Zhong You finished speaking, he took out a letter from his arms, and entered it with a strong sense of righteousness as if he didn't want money.

I saw a fierce and dazzling white light burst out from the letter, piercing through the sky, and I don't know where to connect.

After a dozen breaths, the white light gradually changed from dazzling to soft, turning into a majestic figure, and the face was the projection of the Confucian saint.

The Confucian projection opened his mouth and said: "The way of heaven is full of backlash, it is inconvenient to visit, and I hope that the Buddha will not be surprised if he is neglected." ”

The Buddha seemed to smile and said: "The words of the Confucian sage are heavy, this seat is not a stingy person, and the dialogue in the air is just right." ”

The Confucian sage projected: "This is very good, I wonder what the Buddha thinks of the Confucian Buddhism Alliance?"

The Buddha nodded slightly and said, "This seat agrees very much with this matter. ”

Confucian projection immediately turned around and looked at Zhong You with a cold gaze: "Didn't the teacher explain to you, the Buddha promised the alliance and came back immediately to report, if the Buddha didn't agree to contact the teacher again?

Zhong You hurriedly bowed down and said: "Returning to the teacher, it's not that the disciple has to bother the teacher, but that the Buddha has other requirements, and the disciple has no right to promise, so I implore the teacher to decide." ”

The Confucian Sage's face softened a little, turned to the Buddha, and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know what the Buddha wants?"

The Buddha said indifferently: "There is no him, it's just that Buddhism is planning to conquer the Chu State recently, and I hope that my ally Confucianism can fully cooperate?"

The Confucian sage was puzzled: "Chu State?"

"It is a secular dynasty established by the reincarnation of Emperor Xin, and the backer behind it is the Tongtian Sword Master. ”

The Confucian sage was surprised and said: "Why did the Buddha take the initiative to provoke the killing embryo, can't the grievances of 10,000 years ago be put aside for the time being Chinese?"

The Buddha was slightly angry and said: "It's not that this seat wants to take the initiative to provoke that killing embryo, but he has to get along with this seat, and he dares to hit the Great Lei Yin Temple while taking advantage of the Heavenly Dao of this seat to fight back." If this revenge is not avenged, it will be difficult for this seat to understand it. ”

"How can this person dare to watch the supreme way? It is better to let this seat cut off his thoughts as soon as possible and rob him of his luck. ”

Confucian Sage Projection frowned slightly and said: "Having said that, the current biggest opponent between Buddhism and Confucianism is the Kunlun Dao Palace, and it seems that it is a bit more than worth the loss to rashly offend the Tongtian Sword Master." ”

"Wouldn't it be better to preserve your strength, work together to deal with the Dao Palace, wait for each other's offensive and defensive momentum to reverse, and destroy the Chu State supported by the Tongtian Sword Lord by the way?"

The Buddha immediately set his eyes on Xuantang: "Golden Cicada, you come to explain to the Confucian Sage." ”

Xuantang bowed down and bowed: "The disciple obeys." ”

Then Xuan Tang bowed to the Confucian Sage projection and said: "The Confucian Sage is wrong, and now the secular dynasty supported by the Kunlun Dao Palace is far stronger than you and me, and if you compete with it, you will inevitably be at a disadvantage." ”

"The land of Jiangdong, with fertile land, abundant products, and a large population, and the state of Chu is newly established, the people's will is not attached, and the national fortunes are unstable, so it is the best time to destroy it in one fell swoop and divide its land and population. ”

"When Confucianism and Buddhism completely digest the fat of Jiangdong, their strength will definitely increase, so that they will have the confidence to fight against the Taoist Palace. ”

The Buddha glanced at Xuantang with very appreciative eyes, this second disciple really did not disappoint himself, and his remarks were reasonable, so that people could not find fault with them.

The Confucian sage asked rhetorically: "Isn't Buddhism afraid that the Taoist Palace will have a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind? When the Confucianism of Buddhism and Biyou Palace are exhausted, they will unite with Biyou Palace and destroy the secular dynasty supported by Buddhism and Confucianism?"

Xuan Tang replied indifferently: "It is indeed possible for the Confucian Sage to mention this, but since the Confucianism of Buddhism knows this, how can it not take strict precautions and let the Dao Palace have a chance?"

"Buddhism and Confucianism can be used to send soldiers to the border, and if they take it as a help, they will definitely make the Taoist Palace throw a rat and dare not attack. ”

The Confucian Sage Projection shook his head slightly and said, "Having said that, the risk is too great and it is not appropriate to take it." ”

The Buddha suddenly said: "Confucian Sage, your worries are really unnecessary, what is the real relationship between Kunlun Dao Palace and Biyou Palace, others don't know, don't you and I don't know?"

"Although the Kunlun Dao Palace and the Biyou Palace both belong to the Dao Gate, they have broken up ten thousand years ago, and the Tongtian Sword Master has not been able to let go of it, how difficult is it for the two sides to join forces?"

"Now that the dominance of the Dao Palace is obvious, just by relying on you and me joining forces, without taking other means, it may not be able to suppress it. ”

"Now that you and I have not yet eliminated the Heavenly Dao Rebellion, the disciples of the Third Realm under the sect have suffered heavy losses, and the strength of the two Dao Gong Zhuang Zhou Huishi is still there, before you and I can't make a move, no one in the Buddha and Confucian families can compete with it. ”

"On the other hand, Biyou Palace, there is also no Third Realm Heavenly Man disciple in charge, and this is the best time for Buddhism and Confucianism to unite and completely clear Biyou Palace. Heaven and heaven do not take it, but suffer the blame, why should the Confucian saints hesitate?"

Confucian projection suddenly said: "There are some things I want to discuss in depth with the Buddha in private, I don't know if the Buddha is convenient?"

The Buddha replied: "Of course it is convenient, please take care of yourself." ”

The Confucian sage turned to Zhong You and instructed: "Zhong You, you go out first, and if you have something to say to the Buddha for the teacher, you have to talk to the Buddha in private." ”

The Buddha hesitated for a moment and said, "Jin Chanzi, go and wait outside for a while, and I'll look for you after talking with the Confucian Sage." ”

Xuan Tang and Zhong You bowed and bowed, and slowly withdrew from the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Then the door of the Daxiong Hall slowly closed, and there was no sound after that.

Half an hour later, the gate opened again, and the Confucian projection commanded: "Zhong You, for the sake of the master's order, you will quickly return to Qidi, and be ready to cooperate with the Buddha Gate to attack the Chu State at any time." ”

The Buddha said indifferently: "Golden Cicada, you are responsible for all the affairs of Nanyue's expedition to Chu, don't let this seat down." ”
