Time and Space Tavern

Chapter 737 The Buddha is the Tao
When Sun Wukong was "enthusiastically" discussing business with Sorin, and at the same time planning to go with Gandalf to see Sauron, the dark demon king who was regarded as a taboo by everyone, Tathagata Buddha and Qiao Mu walked outside the building.

A car was already waiting here, and when the two appeared, the door opened automatically.

Nodding towards the T-5000 in the driver's seat, Qiao Mu signaled the Tathagata Buddha to sit on it.

Although it has been several days since he entered the Space-Time Tavern, the Tathagata Buddha spent most of his time in the small black room and has not really touched these things.

Looking at the car, he looked surprised and carefully bent down and got in.

Sitting next to the tree, Tathagata Buddha looked very indifferent, completely different from the brazen guy before.

T-5000 glanced at this strange guy through the rearview mirror, started the car and drove towards the Northeast City.

Qiao Mu was simply fine, so he chatted with Tathagata Buddha.

Although this guy's performance is a bit unsightly, there is always something special about being able to sit in his position.

As for Qiao Mu, Tathagata Buddha did not dare to neglect, so the chat atmosphere between the two was quite pleasant.

"What is Buddha?" Qiao Mu asked.

Mentioning this topic, the Buddha's light behind the Tathagata Buddha's head seemed to be a little stronger.

Just as he was about to say "Amitabha", he pretended to be aggressive, and suddenly thought of the current situation, suppressed the desire to perform in his heart, and said with a normal expression, "Buddha is a state of mind."

Qiao Mu looked at him indifferently.

The Tathagata Buddha coughed lightly and said, "These are just my personal opinions. After all, although I am called Buddha, this title is essentially imposed on me by believers."

He continued: "The reason why I say Buddha is a state of mind is that it corresponds to myself and some things I declare to the outside world..."

Speaking of this, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he said: "Achieving Buddhahood, gaining great freedom, or the Western Ultimate Bliss...these terms actually have the same meaning, that is, the perfection of the state of mind..."

"To put it simply, Buddha is a state when self-belief is so strong that it cannot be destroyed." Tathagata Buddha looked at the tree.

Qiao Mu pondered, and said, "That is to say, if a person is obsessed with good deeds, never tires of them, and enjoys them even if he loses his life for them, then he is a Buddha?"

Tathagata Buddha nodded.

"Is it true that you are obsessed with lust?"

"That is Huanxi Buddha." Tathagata Buddha said.

"Extend your shamelessness to the limit?" Qiao Mu asked.

Tathagata Buddha nodded as usual.

"Those with evil thoughts?" Qiao Mu asked.

"That's a demon," the Tathagata Buddha said after hesitating, "just to distinguish between good and evil."

"That's pretty clear," Qiao Mu said with a smile, "Buddha is the way."

Tathagata Buddha nodded deeply, and said: "Speaking of which, I still know Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Bodhi Patriarch..."

Qiao Mu sighed, and said to Tathagata Buddha, "So it's not your fault, it's society's fault."

Tathagata Buddha: "???"

He didn't know that what Qiao Mu said was his "brazenness", which was attributed to the characteristics of this plane.

The plane of "A Chinese Journey to the West" is an unscrupulous plane, as can be seen from the Erlang God who first appeared on the scene.

Tathagata Buddha...

"The Buddha shouldn't be shy about killing people, right?" Qiao Mu asked.

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and it is my duty to send the lost into reincarnation!" Tathagata Buddha said in awe-inspiring righteousness.

"What about destroying a world?" Qiao Mu asked.

The Tathagata Buddha blinked his eyes, and immediately said: "Mr. Qiao has a request, and I will go through fire and water!"

"That's good." Qiao Mu nodded.

He leaned his body against the back of the car seat, squinted his eyes and stopped talking.

The Tathagata Buddha opened his mouth, but seeing that Qiao Mu didn't intend to talk, he also closed his mouth embarrassingly.

He cast his eyes on the T-5000 in the driver's seat, with curiosity in his eyes.

Not long after, a few people arrived at a large open space in the suburbs.

It was originally a farmland, but it was classified as an industrial zone by the government two years ago, and it was planned to be sold to a multinational company as a factory. However, due to various political factors, the investment plan was aborted, leaving the place vacant.

The car stopped on the side of the road, and Qiao Mu and Tathagata Buddha walked down.

T-5000 watched the backs of the two walking side by side, and drove away in the car.

The Tathagata Buddha has been looking around curiously, and after not noticing any abnormalities, he couldn't help being surprised.

He thought to himself: I must be not strong enough, that's why I failed to discover the abnormality here.

After a while, he couldn't hold back his curiosity after all, and asked, "Young Master Qiao, is there anything special here?"

"No." Qiao Mu said.

Tathagata Buddha: "..."

"Then why are we here?" he asked.

Qiao Mu pointed around and said, "What did you see?"

The Tathagata Buddha looked alert and said, "Could it be that there are ghosts hidden that I can't detect?"

"No," Qiao Mu shook his head and said, "Didn't you notice that this place is far away from human habitation."

The Tathagata Buddha nodded with a bewildered face.

"So," Qiao Mu said, spreading out his palm, revealing two small red beans, "this is the best place to plant them."

"What is this?" Tathagata Buddha asked.

"Magic Bean," Qiao Mu said, "if things don't go wrong, planting it can form a magic vine, leading to another world."

He looked at Tathagata Buddha and said, "Your task is to destroy that world!"

Tathagata Buddha said solemnly, "I will definitely do it!"

"Not necessarily, but must." Qiao Mu looked at him with a smile and said, "And you must as soon as possible..."

After explaining something, he buried the two little red beans in the soil.

After finishing all this, Qiao Mu and Tathagata Buddha both stared at the slightly raised soil layer.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, a strange energy fluctuation spread from the soil layer.

Qiao Mu felt this energy silently, and realized that it was different from ordinary life energy...

"So it came from there!" Qiao Mu suddenly realized.

According to the memory in his mind, he thought of a special region.

The space there is huge, and the creatures are all plants.

These plants can't move, their consciousness is confused, and they can't be called intelligent creatures, but their strength is extremely terrifying. Many rulers of the main city of time and space have died in that area.

It is one of the domains of death identified by the Space-Time Alliance, and it is also an ownerless space-time node.

Even so, there are many masters who venture there every moment, because there are many special and precious things there.

What impressed Qiao Mu most was a thing called "Boundary Fruit". Each fruit contained a huge world, which could be absorbed and fused by various masters to enhance their own strength.

When Qiao Mu was thinking about this, a little greenness broke through.
