Chapter 1022 Happy Cooperation
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor seemed to have just received a reminder from the Book Fairy, and he rarely became vigilant and said hesitantly:
"Monk, you are obviously a human race and belong to the same righteous path as the Shushan sect who are chasing me, so why would you help me harm them? Why do I feel like I am going to be fooled again? Hey, why do I say that again?"
"Ahem...you are thinking too much! This poor monk has a good heart, you have to believe me."
Luo Feng hurriedly coughed twice, interrupting the Ghost Emperor's thinking, and asked: "Isn't it strange that monks help demons and monsters trap Taoist priests?"
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor narrowed his eyes, crossed his arms, tilted his body and asked, "Isn't it strange?"
As he spoke, he cast inquiring glances at the people present and asked for their opinions: "You are all monsters and monsters too. Come on, isn't it suspicious that this human race is helping us?"
Jiang Waner nodded and said, "It's quite suspicious, but I don't know why, but I intuitively feel that he won't harm me."
The immortal in the book stroked his beard and said: "I and Zen Master Luo are friends of gentlemen. The so-called friendship of gentlemen is as light as water. They got together just because they have similar interests. What's suspicious about it?"
Zhuolma clasped his hands together and said with great respect: "In the eyes of the master, all forms are empty and all living beings are equal. There is no difference between humans, gods, and demons. Whoever he helps or harms has his own reasons. There is great wisdom in this." Inside, how can we, the ignorant and unenlightened people, speculate randomly?"
The good disciple Dolma was still filial. Luo Feng was greatly comforted by this flattery. He said in his heart that his love for her was not in vain. It was worth the price of the several tons of dog food. He reached out his hand and patted Dolma with satisfaction. The latter's eyes lit up, his tongue stuck out, his incompletely transformed but retained tail wagged desperately, and he gasped "Hahaha".
"Hmph! Maybe you were all fooled by him, so you will say good things for him. What if he is taking advantage of us monsters?"
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor tilted his head, snorted, and said stubbornly: "Humans are the most cunning, and are even better at deceiving people than vixens. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I won't dare to trust humans anymore."
Luo Feng said: "You ghost king is really ignorant. You have read too few books and don't know the allusions. That's why you misunderstood the poor monk. If you have a little common sense, you can understand that there is no difference between monks, demons and Taoist priests." The relationship is actually not what you think. It is only natural and reasonable for a poor monk to help demons and ghosts harm Taoist priests."
"How is that possible?" The Heavenly Ghost Emperor shook his head repeatedly, shaking his chest wildly, and said, "Don't you all flaunt yourself as a kind and righteous party? Don't you all like to shout slogans to eliminate demons and protect the Tao?"
"Haha, that's what we call superficial friends, plastic brotherhood, smiling in front of each other, but cheating behind the scenes... In fact, monks and Taoists are naturally hostile. They have disliked each other for a long time, and they will show no mercy when they can harm each other."
Luo Feng laughed and revealed without scruple: "Throughout history, Buddhism's 'Three Martial Arts and One Sect' have faced four major difficulties in destroying Buddhism. On three occasions, it was Taoism and demons that got in the way, almost destroying the Central Plains Buddhism orthodoxy."
Using his fingers, Luo Feng counted in detail: "In the first legal tribulation, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty destroyed the Buddha. It was because he believed Cui Hao's slander, converted to Kou Qian's way of the Heavenly Master, rejected Buddhism, and gradually began to destroy the Buddha. Slaughtered the monks in Chang'an and burned all the scriptures and images in the world. In the second legal disaster, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Buddhism. Influenced by Wei Yuansong and the Taoist Zhang Bin, more than 3 million monks and nuns were forced to return to secular life, and 40,000 temples were destroyed. Buddhism disappeared for a time. The third disaster was when Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty listened to Taoist priests Liu Xuanqing and Zhao Guizhen, destroyed 4,600 Buddhist temples, and forced more than 260,000 monks and nuns to return to secular life."
After calculating the general ledger, Luo Feng raised his head, looked at the Heavenly Ghost Emperor with sincere eyes, and said with sincerity: "Compared with the Taoist sect, how many Buddhist temples have you destroyed and how many monks have you killed? The Buddhist sect was almost destroyed by the Taoist sect. You think it is unreasonable for me, a monk, to trick a Shushan Taoist priest?"
The book immortal nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and testified for him: "This is what is recorded in the history books. From this point of view, the Taoist sect and the Buddhist sect do have a great hatred for the annihilation of the sect."
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor blinked, nodded slowly and said: "Taoist priests are really cruel. They are both from the human race, and they are not merciless at all when they try to trick their fellow racers. Listening to what you said, it seems that the little entanglement between us demons and Buddhists is not a big deal. It’s really no big deal.”
Luo Feng walked down the slope and said, "Of course. Since ancient times, Taoism has always wanted to destroy me and Buddhism! That is to say, we monks are broad-minded and do not hold grudges. If Buddhism advocates violence like the Western Holy Light Sect, we would have started fighting with them long ago. , let’s have an endless religious war, kill you and I will live.”
In fact, the reasons for the four Buddhist tribulations were quite complex, involving politics, economics, and many other reasons. However, every time the Taoist sect sent representatives to join in the fun, knocking down the wall and causing a wave of hatred. Feng's explanation may not be able to convince modern people who have more knowledge and more dialectical thinking, but it is easy to win the trust of ancient demons.
"The relationship between Buddhism and demons is much more harmonious than you think. Have you ever heard of the story of Buddha transforming a Rakshasa girl? Have you heard of the story of Buddhism teaching without distinction and recruiting demons as protectors? Buddhist Tianlongba There is a Yaksha Ghost King in the ministry!"
Luo Feng continued to confuse: "How does the Taoist sect treat demons and ghosts? It's nothing more than killing them with one sword. Just like the slogan shouted by Shushan Sect Dugu Yuyun, even if they are captured and lucky enough to save their lives, they will be treated like slaves. Especially you ghosts , when we Buddhists meet ghosts, we pay attention to saving you, saving you to become a Buddha, and treating you equally as all living beings. However, if Taoism likes it, it will seal and control you, treating you as inferior slaves and using it wantonly. The five ghost transportation skills and ghost control skills are not Are they all destructive spells developed by the Taoist sect?"
"It makes sense..." The Heavenly Ghost Emperor couldn't help but nodded slowly and said: "So, the monk is quite kind to us ghosts. It's not unreasonable to help us demons and ghosts deceive the Taoist sect."
As the saying goes, "China-Japan friendship relies on South Korea." The two hostile parties suddenly became harmonious when they got together to curse the third party.
There is no harm without comparison. With such a comparison between Buddhism and Taoism, the Heavenly Ghost Emperor became more and more pleased with Luo Feng. He felt that he was no longer so disgusting, and his favorability gradually increased.
"That's great of you to think so."
Luo Feng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Now can we trust the poor monk and work together with the poor monk to deal with our common enemy, those vicious demons?"
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, but how can I use my wisdom to take revenge?"
Luo Feng took out a small snail the size of a snail from his pocket and said, "I don't have enough time to teach you how to be smart now. I have a miniature phone snail here. You put it in your ear, and I will call the snail later." Real-time communication, provide me with valuable wisdom and experience guidance, and then make full use of your current unrivaled beauty and external conditions, so that you can experience for yourself that a witch with both wisdom and beauty will have the power to those so-called justice heroes. What a lethal force!"
