Chapter 1317: Surrender or Not

But if he really surrendered directly.

The Tathagata Buddha really couldn't do it.

After all, he hadn't reached the end of his rope yet. He was in charge of Lingshan Scenic Spot, with the saint's relics and inheritance to help him. In Lingshan Scenic Spot, even if he was injured, he could still tie with Ding Ling.

If he was intact, Ding Ling would most likely be defeated by him.

This was his previous thought.

But now.

As the Burning Lamp Buddha simply escaped, the atmosphere in the entire hall began to become subtle, and his confidence also fluctuated.

He suddenly remembered the monkey he suppressed five hundred years ago: Sun Wukong.

He also knew that Sun Wukong became stronger and stronger in the heavenly court.

The affairs of the Six-Eared Macaque, Wu Zetian, and the Monkey King were naturally not hidden from him.

The Six-Eared Macaque and the others were like this.

How incomparable must Ding Ling be who created Wu Zetian and Sun Wukong?

The Tathagata Buddha couldn't help but feel palpitations just thinking about it.

Ding Ling's progress was really too fast. It was so fast that it was outrageous.

'I have already become the top master in this world, and there is no possibility of breakthrough. What about Ding Ling? How did he break the limit? '

The Tathagata Buddha thought about it carefully, and he was puzzled.

In the end, he could only blame Ding Ling for having a special magical method that could break the limit and continue to advance.

If it was really like this.

He would no longer have the chance of luck.

Sooner or later, he would be surpassed by Ding Ling, and then crushed and killed.

Thinking of this.

The Tathagata Buddha could not help but sigh dejectedly.

Of course, he also tried to use higher-level sequences such as cause and effect sequence and destiny sequence to deduce the future and calculate Ding Ling.

But it was useless.

Ding Ling's aura was ethereal and unpredictable, and it was impossible to lock it or calculate it. The future related to him was a mess!

Many of the original methods and magical powers of the Tathagata Buddha were ineffective in the face of Ding Ling.

He no longer had the feeling of being in control in the past.

"Could this Ding Ling be my nemesis?"

'Do I really want to surrender? '

The Buddha hesitated.

In the end, he decided to negotiate first.

It would be best if he could negotiate peacefully and maintain the current situation.

As for expansion?

Restart the Journey to the West plan?

The Buddha had completely given up and didn't dare to think about it.

Just because he would be crushed by Ding Ling if he walked out of Lingshan Resort, other Arhats and Venerables would be crushed by Wu Zetian, the Monkey King and the like.

Going out would mean death.

He could only stay in Lingshan Resort, how could he dare to expand?

The Buddha only hoped that Ding Ling would leave some room for him and not pursue the matter because of their sincere negotiations.

...

...

The Buddha Dipankara saw Ding Ling.

He had heard how great Ding Ling was, how young and peerless he was.

But he really saw him.

Only then did he realize how powerless and pale the words many people used to describe Ding Ling were! !

Ding Ling, majestic like the universe, boundless like the stars!

Sitting there, he seemed like a saint who could cover the sky with one hand!

With his eyes lowered, he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and understand the principles of the Tao!

Just being glanced at by Ding Ling, the Buddha of Burning Lamp felt like being struck by lightning, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

‘Too scary! He is at least a thousand times, ten thousand times stronger than the Ding Ling described by Guanyin Bodhisattva and others! ! How could Guanyin Bodhisattva trap such a person? ! ’

‘No wonder the Buddhas such as Julu Sun Buddha were easily beaten to death. As an ancient Buddha, I dare not look Ding Ling in the eye. If I really fight, how can I survive? I am afraid I will be beaten to death in an instant! ’

‘Huh! I am really lucky. Fortunately, I decisively asked for permission to come to the Lingxiao Palace to meet Ding Ling this time. If I hesitated and refused to meet him, I would really regret it for the rest of my life if I missed this opportunity! ’

The Buddha of Burning Lamp despised the venerables, bodhisattvas, and Buddhas sitting in the Lingshan Resort.

These venerables had never seen Ding Ling's demeanor and power. If they had seen him once, they would have been impressed and would have come here to pay their respects!

However, Tathagata Buddha had confronted Ding Ling.

Could it be that Tathagata Buddha did not sense Ding Ling's power? !

Dipankara Buddha was deeply suspicious.

But he did not ask about it, but knelt down on the ground, saluted Ding Ling, and shouted:

"Greetings to the supreme and respected Supreme Emperor!"

"No need to pay respects."

Ding Ling waved his hand, and Dipankara Buddha could not help but stand up.

This move made Dipankara Buddha's heart tremble again, and he was more convinced that Ding Ling was amazing.

Just now, a breeze blew, and he stood up uncontrollably. If this method was used on him in a battle, he might be killed instantly. Thinking about it made his scalp numb.

As an ancient Buddha who has survived from ancient times, he has seen too many strong men and geniuses, but Ding Ling is so terrifying and amazing that he is the only one!

It is no exaggeration to say that Ding Ling's talent is the best in ancient and modern times.

Becoming an enemy of such a person?

Isn't that courting death?

The more the Buddha thought about it, the more fortunate he was for his decision! Therefore, he immediately stated the purpose of his visit without hesitation, and finally concluded:

"... I hope to join the emperor's team! I hope the emperor can accept me! I, Ran Deng, will definitely sacrifice my life and blood for the emperor, and I will die with all my heart!!"

He swore seriously and solemnly.

Seeing this, the gods such as Taibai Jinxing and Nezha beside him secretly complained:

'This Ran Deng is really shameless! '

'I have heard about the shamelessness and rogueness of the Buddha, and today I have seen it! '

The Buddha Dipankara had sworn the same oath to the Tathagata Buddha earlier, but he ran away halfway.

As a result, the Bodhisattvas such as Samantabhadra died in the battle, but he survived by running away.

Now, he swore the same oath in front of Ding Ling again, how could Nezha and other gods not feel uncomfortable!

But as a Buddhist, Dipankara swore the same oath.

How could the gods in the heavens be content to lag behind?

At that moment, some gods stood up and said the same words as the Buddha Dipankara.

This shout seemed to cause a chain reaction, and more and more gods stood up!

Nezha, Wen Zhong and other gods were forced to stand up, otherwise they would seem too different.

"..."

The Jade Emperor was speechless watching from the side. How long has it been? All of them have such an attitude?

He had long realized that the gods did not have much restraint.

Seeing this scene now, although disappointed, there is no despair. It is just the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak.

Didn't he make a similar choice?

It's just not as blatant as the Buddha Dipankara.

...

...

Ding Ling finally accepted the peace negotiation agreement of the Buddha Dipankara.

But the Buddhist sect must also obey him.

Lingshan Resort must be incorporated into the Nine Provinces Divine Sect and become a part of the Divine Sect.

Otherwise, the peace negotiation agreement will be invalid.

The Buddha Dipankara returned to the Lingshan Resort with mixed feelings with this agreement.

He told the Buddha Tathagata about this.

As expected, the Buddha Tathagata was furious and refused on the spot.

The Buddha Dipankara immediately warned:

"Buddha, I have seen Ding Ling, he seems to have become stronger again. If he really leads the army of heaven to attack, who can stop him?"

He paused and advised very sincerely:

"Buddha, think twice!"

"Buddha, think twice!"

The venerables, arhats, and bodhisattvas also saluted and shouted.

The Tathagata Buddha took a deep breath and suppressed his frustration, depression and anger. After a long pause, he asked the Buddha to go back and negotiate properly, saying that Buddhism could join the Heavenly Court, but some important figures in Buddhism would not obey his orders.

The Buddha had to persuade him again.

The Tathagata Buddha waved his hand and said in a resounding voice:

"This is my bottom line. I have agreed to allow the Buddhist sect to join the Divine Sect, and I have also agreed to merge Xiniu Hezhou and Lingshan into the Divine Sect. Arhats, messengers, and Jialan can also be dispatched by the Divine Sect's top leaders. After all this, what else do you want? Could it be that the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas of my Buddhist sect will also be ordered around by the Divine Sect? In this case, it is better to die!"

"..."

The Burning Lamp Buddha was speechless, and after a while he said:

"Buddha, you don't have to be so pessimistic. Sect Master Ding is a good person, easy to talk to, and not so unreasonable. As long as you cooperate with him well, I believe you will get benefits. Look at Wu Zetian and Liuer Mihou, they are examples."

The Burning Lamp Buddha was the first person in the Buddhist sect to surrender to Ding Ling, and he succeeded.

Next, he will make some achievements for Ding Ling and others to see.

Let the people of the Divine Sect, including Ding Ling, not underestimate him, and even look up to him.

In this way, his goal is achieved.

I think when the time comes to reward Ding Ling according to merit, he will never forget him.

He has investigated the merit ranking list and other contents of the list inside Huaguo Mountain, which is very fair, just and open.

With his ability, as long as he works hard, it will not be difficult to rank at the top.

"Randeng. You passed."

The Buddha looked at the Buddha with lightning eyes:

"Don't think that I can't see through the filth in your heart. If you act like this again, don't blame me for turning against you!"

"..."

The Buddha was speechless, bowed to the Buddha, and turned around and flew away decisively.

The Buddha said so much.

The Buddha would naturally not offend again.

He quickly returned to the Heavenly Palace and reported the details.

Ding Ling naturally disagreed. He must conquer this world and there would be no future troubles.

He asked the Buddha to continue to advise.

Dipankara Buddha opened his mouth and said angrily:

"Great Emperor, Tathagata Buddha is adamant. It will be useless to persuade him further. Why don't I go and empty the Lingshan Resort, transfer all the Arhats, Kālaksas, and messengers, and only some of the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas' Lingshan Resort will be left, which is not worth worrying about."

Ding Ling nodded, without commenting.

Dankara Buddha breathed a sigh of relief and turned away immediately.

He couldn't really confront Tathagata Buddha.

But it was not a big problem for him to just do some transfers.

After returning to Lingshan Resort.

Dankara Buddha began to transfer Arhats openly.

A Bodhisattva asked.

Dankara Buddha said righteously:

"Tathagata Buddha said that the high-level leaders of Shenmen can be allowed to dispatch Arhats and Kālaksas. Do you have any objections?"

"Could it be that Ding Ling agreed to our peace talks?"

The Bodhisattvas were surprised.

"Preliminary agreement."

The Buddha of Burning Lamp was vague:

"It all depends on our sincerity."

He didn't dare to tell the truth, otherwise the Buddha Tathagata would definitely kill him.

He could only rely on the time difference to quickly transfer the Arhats and Galans in Lingshan Resort.

...

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

The atmosphere in Lingshan Resort became more and more heavy.

The number of people in the Great Hall of the Buddha was reduced to an extremely exaggerated level. Looking around, there were only dozens or hundreds of people in the hall.

"My Buddha."

Medicine Buddha is also an ancient Buddha, proficient in the sacred sequence, regeneration sequence and other curse sources related to rebirth and longevity.

He has a childlike face and white beard, and looks very stable. At this moment, he couldn't help but speak

"Dendron Buddha almost emptied the Lingshan Resort. Almost all the middle-level and lower-level Buddhists have left. I suspect there is something strange about this."

"Don't doubt it."

The Tathagata Buddha said lightly:

"It must be Ding Ling who disagreed with my conditions and ordered the Dipankara Buddha to empty the Lingshan Resort."

"Since my Buddha knew it, why did he indulge the Dipankara Buddha?"

"What else?"

The Tathagata Buddha had a blank expression on his face, his eyes were deep:

"Stop me? Or just kill them? You can't Didn't Dao see that the Arhats and the Galans had long been restless and wanted to flee the Lingshan Resort? Even if there were Arhats who were sincere and fearless of death, how many of them were there? Are there 20%? "

He shook his head and sighed:

"There must be people who are truly loyal to Buddhism. Even if it is 10%, there are still many if you count carefully, but these are the seeds of Buddhism. I don't want them to be buried here so worthlessly. Taking this opportunity, let the Buddha take them out, which can be regarded as leaving a little hope for Buddhism. "

The Bodhisattvas and Buddhas suddenly realized.

But then they became worried:

"So, is my Buddha ready to die with Ding Ling?"

"No."

The Tathagata Buddha looked up at the sky and sighed:

"If Ding Ling comes again, I will fight him to the death. If I really can't win in the end, I will surrender."

"But..."

The Medicine Buddha hesitated, but finally said:

"As far as I know, Ding Ling will only accept people who surrender at the beginning. If they surrender at the end of the battle, they will most likely be killed by Ding Ling. Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Detained Sun Buddha and others are examples."

The Tathagata Buddha did not speak.

His heart began to waver.

Sometimes he wanted to fight Ding Ling to the death;

Sometimes he wanted to surrender;

Sometimes he wanted to wait and see, when he recovered his vitality and completely sacrificed the saint's relics, would he have a better chance of winning?

The Tathagata Buddha was a little more lucky.

But Medicine Buddha was very rational:

"Looking at Ding Ling's record along the way, it is extremely amazing. He is very decisive and ruthless. Once he kills him, he will never spare his life. Many people will have the idea of ​​surrendering before they die. For example, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King is very afraid of death. Before he died, he must have thought about surrendering, but Ding Ling did not give him a chance. I am afraid that if we resist with all our strength, it will cause Ding Ling's disgust and murderous intention."

"I understand your thoughts."

The Tathagata Buddha was silent for a moment and said:

"If you want to surrender, why not follow the Light Buddha."

"The Buddha underestimated us too much."

The Medicine Buddha's face flushed and said:

"I am not as greedy for life and afraid of death as the Light Buddha! If Ding Ling really comes, I will stand beside the Buddha and assist the Buddha."

"Of course I know your character, Medicine Buddha."

The Tathagata Buddha was very pleased. After all, there are still some loyal people in Buddhism who are not afraid of death. It is worth his cultivation of some people over the years. (End of this chapter)
