Marshal Deng of the Conferred God

Chapter 266 Apostasy
Yuxu Palace learned that Jiang Ziya killed more than [-] Xiqi troops in the first battle, and the third generation disciple Nezha died in battle. Yuanshi Tianzun was furious, scolded Jiang Ziya bloody, and took it back on the spot. To hit the magic whip is not the same as the four.

"Second brother, Cheng Tang deserves to perish, and Zhou De should prosper. It's just a matter of days. Now that your ineffective disciple has suffered a defeat, Zhou Wu has lost the strength to compete for the world. What do you mean?"

Although Master Tongtian has become a master of Taoism, he will still sneer at Yuanshi Tianzun and express his dissatisfaction when he seizes the opportunity. This is an attitude.

Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at him, and said in a deep voice, "My dear brother, are you making trouble?"

Master Tongtian said: "It's not that I'm making trouble, I'm just discussing the matter."

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted, and said to Lao Tzu: "Brother Dao, according to the calculation of the number of days, Ji Zhou originally had 800 years of national luck, and Jiang Ziya should have enjoyed wealth and honor in the world for more than ten years. But now the general situation has changed, it is not my ability, it is God's will. .”

Lao Tzu said: "Your brother's words are very true. Cheng Tang has been destroyed, so let Jiang Ziya choose a day to enshrine the gods, and I will report to the teacher later."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, he had worked so hard on conferring the gods, and wanted to complete this important event as soon as possible.If I had known that this matter was so complicated and twists and turns, I wouldn't have taken over it at the beginning, but now it's a good thing, it makes people inside and out.

At this moment, Boy Baihe entered the hall, made a salute, and said: "Report to Master, the Western Master must ask the Taoist to see you."

Yuanshi Tianzun was stunned, and he must have mentioned that the Taoist came here to confer the gods. After all, his three thousand mortal guests had not been confiscated to go to the west, so he said: "Go and invite him in."

When he was young, the Taoist Zhunti entered the hall, and the two sides greeted each other with a greeting. The Master Tongtian gave him a faint look, and then entered a state of sedation.Yuanshi Tianzun said: "I don't know why brother came here."

Taoist Zhunti smiled and said: "It's nothing serious, it's just that the poor Taoist found out that there is a person in the east who is destined to be with me in the west, so the poor Taoist came here specially!"

Yuanshi Tianzun said: "There are quite a few predestined people in your religion."

He and Zhunti are the same kind of people, both jealous of the sectarian forces, how can they not know what the other party really thinks.

Zhunti Taoist said: "You are joking, fellow Taoist. Those who have passed through the poor way all have great wisdom. They have worked tirelessly for the development of the teaching. I hope that you will be successful."

Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Who is this person? Brother Dao, the poor Daoist is the master."

"Ren Lantern of Vulture Palace, he has a predestined relationship with Western religion."

A stone hits a thousand waves, and the status of Ran Deng in Taoism is only inferior to the three saints. Although he lost his army and lost his generals, and the lost Tai Chi diagram has not yet been retrieved, he is still a pivotal figure.

Laozi glanced at Zhunti, his eyes revealing the meaning of thinking.Yuanshi Tianzun's face darkened, and he was not angry: "Brother Dao is here to save people or provoke troubles, please tell me clearly!"

Master Tongtian was taken aback, and in front of Yuanshi, he named Daoist people to poach his corners. This must mean that Taoists are bold enough, and they are almost defiant. Let's see how the two sides end up.

Zhunti Taoist said: "Of course they are here to ferry people. The poor Taoist and the noble sect have always been on good terms. The last two trips to the east were at the invitation of Taoist friends. How could they do something to betray their allies?"

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned, Zhunti is also the leader of a sect, it is absolutely impossible for him to act so absurdly, there must be something hidden in it.Lao Tzu reminded softly: "My dear brother, I'm afraid the problem lies with Ran Deng."

"Lights."

Yuanshi Tianzun was stunned, he is also a very intelligent person, so he said: "Brother Dao, when did this lamp go to the west?"

Ran Deng is a mature and prudent person. More than ten years ago, he went down the mountain and broke through the top ten battles. This person has outstanding abilities, and his tactics are remarkable. He is considered a rare talent in Yuxu's sect.It's just that after meeting Deng Jiugong, he was repeatedly defeated, and he seemed to be possessed by Jiang Ziya, which disappointed him greatly.

Zhunti said humanely: "Not long ago, it was a peck and a drink. Last time, Deng Jiugong fell into Deng Jiugong's trick to lure the enemy, and his life was dying. It was Pindao who saved his life. He got acquainted with the wonderful teachings of the Three Vehicles, admired them deeply, and wished to make a great wish to worship under the Western teachings and learn the principles of Zen together.”

Yuanshi Tianzun said in a deep voice: "You agreed."

"My teachings of the Three Vehicles are different from your teachings. They teach the world to be good, cultivate one's character, and realize great wisdom in practice. Let go of one thought, and all thoughts are empty. No matter who the other party is, whether it is a king or a bandit, as long as you know the principles of Zen, Possessing wisdom and being willing to turn back, this is a predestined relationship with the West, even the poor will not reject him, as the saying goes, all living beings are equal, there is no distinction between high and low."

On the way here, Taoist Zhunti had already thought up his speech. Although Yuanshi Tianzun was strict, he ignored the inner world of the disciples. Ran Deng just didn't want to succumb to fate, so he was the first to stand up and resist.If Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to blame, he could only blame himself, and besides, Chanjiao owed Xixijiao a favor, so it could be that this matter turned against him.

"All beings are equal."

Yuanshi Tianzun laughed angrily, his good disciple actually arranged his back with his back behind his back, it's ridiculous that he didn't know about it.It is not an exaggeration to abolish Taoism and send people into samsara for such deceitful people.

Zhunti Dao Ren said: "If fellow Taoists go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss, you will know that what I said is true. There are times when you hear the Tao, and there are high and low virtues. What are your defenses?"

Lao Tzu said: "Brother Dao said that the high-sounding, if there is no distinction between gods and status, only the depth of understanding of Tao, the superior is not respected, and the inferior is not humble, so the three realms are not in chaos. Your religion is just deceiving yourself and others. "

Zhunti Taoist said: "This statement is wrong. The heart of the Tao is the heart of the heart. As soon as a person is born, he is affected by the energy of the five grains and knows about human accidents. It’s just a way of treating people, that’s all. My teaching advocates that all beings are equal, but not everyone has this supreme wisdom and judges others by themselves, so everyone’s realm is different.”

Lao Tzu praised: "What a wonderful Western method, it is really different. My Taoism emphasizes self-cultivation, the unity of heaven, earth and man, and integration with the universe. This is the great way, and your teaching emphasizes the cultivation of the heart. The heart can accommodate the world and view it with the heart." , unique."

"Fellow Daoist has great opinions, and Daoist Poverty deeply admires it."

Taoist Zhunti gave a praise, and said to Yuanshi Tianzun: "I know that you are dissatisfied with the poor Taoist because of the burning of the lamp, but the teaching is like this. As the master of a religion, how dare the poor Taoist take the lead in disobeying it. Please forgive me, fellow Taoist."

Yuan Shi Tianzun was silent, he was weighing the pros and cons in his heart, just now he did not know the truth, he had already agreed to the Taoist quasi-prompt, now he repents, it is inevitable that people will criticize him.Besides, it is not worthwhile to fight against the Western religion for a burning lamp that has already apostate.

Master Tongtian cast a glance at him, disapproving in his heart, and secretly said: "At the beginning, Yuanshi went to Biyou Palace to deceive me like this, and intercepting the grand meeting of teaching ten thousand immortals was incompatible with explaining the teaching. But now the Taoist Zhunti came to bully me, but Yuanshi didn't dare to get angry. , to drive away the other party, this kind of performance of swallowing one's anger is simply in vain as the respect of a sect."

Zhunti Taoist has such good eyesight, how can't he see Yuanshi Tianzun's hesitation in his heart, and added another fire: "Daoist Yuanshi, if you agree to light the lamp to join the Western religion, the affairs of your religion will be the affairs of the Western religion in the future. Let us help each other in the same boat and carry forward together.”

Yuan Shi Tianzun said: "Lan Deng violated the taboo in the religion, and should be expelled from the gate wall. As for the future whereabouts, Pindao has no right to ask."

"Thank you, fellow daoist, for completeness."

Taoist Zhunti was overjoyed, Lao Tzu glanced at him, but said nothing, he neither supported nor opposed Yuanshi Tianzun's decision.
