Dongsheng Shenzhou, Aolai Country.

The original Aolai Kingdom believed in Buddhism and even established Buddhism as the national religion.

At this time, a large-scale campaign to destroy Buddhism was launched.

The king personally issued an order, led by several princes and generals to push all the temples still in the Aolai Middle School.

Monks in the temple either return to secular life, or those who do not want to return to secular life will be expelled from the border.

Believers in towns are not allowed to worship Buddha again. If they find a private Buddha statue to worship, they will be expelled from the country.

Buddhism has been established in Aolai Country for more than ten years and has already had a deep foundation.

Linglong Temple is a holy place, and it is all high-level monks with successful cultivation.

Ordinary Buddhist disciples practice in other temples of all sizes.

The population of Aolai Country is several million, of which more than 100,000 people have entered Buddhism and become monks and practiced.

This is not the only believers who believe in Buddhism and worship Buddha at home.

Therefore, the original Aolai Kingdom was called a Buddhist country, and there was no problem.

If the Holy Land Linglong Temple had not been captured in one fell swoop, all the powerful monks and arhats would have been killed.

It is basically impossible to destroy the complex network of relationships built by Buddhism in Aolai Country by secular means.

Now, after losing the foundation of the backer, the king of Aolai dared to order the movement to destroy Buddhism.

However, even so, it still encountered fierce resistance from temples of all sizes.

Not all Buddhist disciples who became monks were gentle sheep. Even if they could not practice the fruit, they would be taught Buddhist martial arts and become guardians.

Fortunately, it was because of the loss of the last support that the army mobilized by Aolai Kingdom was able to suppress these temples.

As temples were captured, the deadly hard-working factions almost died in the suppression.

Some monks knew the current affairs and returned to secular life, but some chose to be expelled and left a foreign land.

Many monks from all over the country of Aolai walked out of towns and headed towards the West.

No one knows their fate. Maybe they can walk to the beach, but it is almost impossible to cross the sea and reach the real Buddhist holy land, Lingshan.

In the clouds, Wukong looked at those Buddhist disciples who knew that the future was unknown and had a bad life but continued to head towards the West.

The Bull Demon King looked disdainful, "These monks are so ungrateful. They obviously gave them a chance to survive, but they still have to go and die..."

In their opinion, most of these monks are just ordinary people, and it is a fantasy to rely on their feet to go to the West.

The Demon Peng sneered, "I have asked the children to greet these bald thieves. I want to see how far they can go..."

The Nine-Headed Insect smiled and said, "Why do you need to be so troublesome? You have to pass through most of the Dongsheng Shenzhou to reach the beach. There are countless deep mountains and zodiacs. Even if there are no children to intercept them, there are only countless mountain spirits and beasts waiting for them. I don't believe that a group of mortals can walk to the beach, and what can I do when I reach the beach? Can they still swim to Xiniu Hezhou?"

The other people felt it was reasonable and smiled and said that these monks were really stupid.

But Wukong did not laugh, and there was not even a trace of disdain and contempt on his face.

"I thought about it, I was heading in an unknown direction like this. They were because of their faith, while Lao Sun and I were for immortality.

But I was better than them. At that time, I had been a monster who had lived for at least a hundred years. I don’t know whether it was God’s will or man-made, so I took a broken raft to Jamba Continent soon.

Then I was lucky enough to meet my master, found my own way, and began to resist the once established fate of being regarded as a chess piece and puppet.

They are also resisting fate. I am for freedom and freedom. They are for faith. Although they are different, they are looking for the same fruit.

So I admire them for having such courage.

If anyone among them could go avenue and overcome all obstacles to reach the Lingshan Mountain in the West, perhaps there would be an extra Buddha on the Lingshan Mountain..."

The other demon kings were silent and looked at each other awkwardly.

They didn't know that this elder brother had such experiences before, and would be moved by the scene and sympathized with these monks.

The Demon Peng said a little embarrassedly, "Then I'll call the children back..."

Wukong turned around, and the cloak behind him was clamoring,

"No, send more people to work with you. Since you want to become a Buddha, you will of course have to endure hardships that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Buddhism has planned a Journey to the West for us, so I will give them a disaster of thousands of demons first. If someone can escape these disasters, it is also necessary to become a Buddha.

Giving the respect that is worthy of respect to enemies is what Master teaches me, and I have realized it myself.

Therefore, even if some of these people escaped many disasters and became Buddhas, Lao Sun would personally go to Lingshan to knock him down to the underworld."

As he said that, he stepped out and disappeared into the air.

Several demon kings were thinking.

The Demon Peng laughed and said, "I am not as profound as my elder brother. Since the elder brother said that I would send more people to greet the monks, then I will let the young men wait for them. If someone can escape the children's minions, then I will greet them in person. I don't believe that someone can have such luck and escape from my elbow..."

The Bull Demon King said, "Didn't the elder brother say that if someone really escapes from these disasters, then let him become a Buddha. Then the elder brother will go and clean up his own... "

The awe in the eyes of several people is increasing.

In the past, they actually had some doubts about whether this elder brother had the ability to fight against Buddhism. Now, they even felt that the elder brother said he would attack Lingshan, which was not a lie.

Many monks who were unwilling to give up their faith walked into the boundless jungle and mountains.

Their path to worshiping Buddha is destined to be full of disasters.

Wukong gave enough respect to the enemy, but it did not hinder him from killing him.

This is respect for the enemy and responsibility for yourself.

In the Aolai King's Palace, the old king reported to several demon kings about the achievements of destroying Buddha in the past few days.

I have to say that the king of Aolai Kingdom is very efficient.

Wukong smiled and said, "The old king is really a wise man. As long as the old king does not have any involvement with Buddhism, we will still be a good neighbor in the future."

The king of Aolai responded with apologies.

Since it is to destroy Buddhism and promote Taoism, the next step is to establish Taoism, promote Xuanmen Taoism, and set Xuanmen Taoism as a national religion.

Why did Wukong do this? It’s not that he wants to enter the Xuanmen.

But among his series of plans, dealing with Buddhism is the first priority.

Although Xuanmen Taoism also participated in this plan of Journey to the West, it was more like the cause and effect of Taoism who borrowed the foundation of Western religion to transform Hu into Buddha.

Because in it, although Xuanmen is not like the Jade Emperor of Heaven, he has to show off his old face to set off the Buddha's Tathagata, he has not gained any practical benefits.

It can even be said that after the plan of Journey to the West, the Xuanmen's few foundations in Xiniu Hezhou were cleared one by one.

The basic continent of Nanba Continent is constantly eroded.

Even so, Xuanmen Taoism did not make any movement.

Do you think they are willing to do this? It’s just because the Taoist ancestor said that the great prosperity of Buddhism was the will of heaven, so he could only swallow his anger and wait for the arrival of a disaster.

Although Wukong was not very clear about these, after reading the heavenly book Journey to the West, he could roughly infer the attitude of Xuanmen Taoism at this time.

That is, as long as you don’t touch the bottom line, you don’t care about it and look like you don’t care about it.

Even the incarnation left by the ancestor, the Taishang Laojun, had played several times in the Journey to the West plan, but he looked like he was soy.

It seems that Laojun pushed Sun Wukong's cultivation level higher than the Peach Golden Pill and other students, and used the Bagua Furnace to force out a trace of blood from the Chaos Divine Ape, allowing the farce of the Heavenly Palace to be successfully completed.

But in fact, since it is a show, you can complete it without these steps.

This shows that Laojun made some compensation to the stone monkey they had plotted against.

Now Wukong will only sneer at this hypocritical compensation.

But if he wants to deal with Lingshan Buddhism, he cannot offend Xuanmen Taoism and Laojun to death.

The goal must be clear and you must know what important matters are. This is also the truth taught to him by the master.

The revenge that has been plotted by Laojun and others can be kept in mind and then calculated slowly after you have the ability.

So now he is promoting the destruction of Buddhism and promotion of Taoism in Aolai Kingdom, in order to give Xuanmen Taoism a signal.

That is, I can be with you, but don’t force me to get angry, otherwise I can do anything. Didn’t Daozu just want to repay the cause and effect? ​​Lao Sun will find a way to complete this task, but it may not be what you originally planned.

In fact, this is what Tathagata Lan Deng guessed. After the Jade Emperor and Bodhi formed an alliance, they might have to do something and cut off the Buddhist body without touching the bottom line of the Taoist ancestor.

Their guess is basically correct, it is just the person who is causing trouble.

Wukong and others did not continue to take care of Aolai's country. They told them to promote Taoist temples and establish Xuanmen Taoism as the national religion, and then returned to Huaguo Mountain.

But one person stayed, that is, the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord.

The Hundred Eyes Demon Lord practiced the orthodox Xuanmen alchemy. Although he had not officially entered the Xuanmen, he always regarded himself as a Taoist priest.

Wukong asked him to stay in Aolai Country first, and instructed the people of Aolai Country to build Taoist temples, etc., and then became a national teacher.

Speaking of the national master, it reminds Wukong of the three national masters of Che Chi Kingdom, the Great Immortal of Tiger Power, the Great Immortal of Deer Power, and the Great Immortal of Sheep Power.

These three guys are victims of the typical Journey to the West plan.

Without strength and background, he actually dared to promote the campaign of destroying Buddhism and promoting Taoism in Xiniu Hezhou, the base camp of Buddhism.

If it were before, Buddhism might have been somewhat concerned, because the campaign of destroying Buddhism was not done by three people, but by the three people who bewitched the king.
