I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

Chapter 1306: Qin Yao has little time left

"Although I am anxious to make a breakthrough, I am not so anxious as to do so at all costs."

Qin Yao cupped his hands, his attitude respectful, his tone solemn: "The Lord of Lingshan, the position of the Buddha, I really can't do it, please find someone else."

Zhunti was not reconciled.

  As the saying goes, a bystander sees more clearly. Standing at the edge of the chess game, he saw the big chess game of the Conferred Gods Battle clearly. He knew very well that without Shen Gongbao's advice and suggestions, Jie Religion would have been dismembered or even destroyed in the calculations of various parties. How could it have turned a disaster into a blessing and completely established its position as the number one holy religion like it is now?

It was Shen Gongbao who showed him what it meant for a strategist to put himself in the game and win half a step over God.

Things that seem simple become more complicated the more you think about them. Shen Gongbao's move of personally joining the game is the basis for him to make suggestions and advice.

Working backwards from the back, if Shen Gongbao had not conquered two cities on his own and led the Zhou army to advance continuously, or even if Shen Gongbao had not been there, Jiang Ziya would have been able to drag on the situation indefinitely, thereby bringing out more variables and dragging down the Jiejiao little by little.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Shen Gongbao saved Jiejiao.

If such a brilliant and wise person could be invited to Mount Lingshan to be the Buddha, then the prosperity of Western Buddhism would be just around the corner!

"Can you tell me what exactly you are worried about?" Based on this thought and idea, he said very sincerely.

Qin Yao pursed his lips and sighed: "Saint, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. If you are the only saint in the Western Church, it doesn't matter if I serve as the Lord of Lingshan for one or two terms. I can just find a good successor in the future.

The Three Realms are just filled with people. If the West can’t find someone suitable in every aspect, how can they not find one if they look across the entire Three Realms?

But the current situation is that there are two saints in Western religion, and my relationship with the other saint... is that I have no relationship at all, and the other party does not appreciate me as much as you do.

In everything, before thinking about victory, think about defeat first; before thinking about good, think about bad first. In this case, if I enter Lingshan, the relationship between me and the saint who guides me will become: not fragrant when far away, but smelly when close.

If some of my ideas offend him, it may sow the seeds of trouble. Is what I said clear enough? "

Zhunti was silent.

After a long moment, he said softly, "The situations you mentioned are the most extreme ones. The reality is that there are often not so many extremes in life. Moreover, I am there to mediate..."

Qin Yao shook his head and said, “The various events in the Conferred Gods War, including the changes after the Conferred Gods War, made me deeply understand seven words: the sky is constantly changing, and people are also constantly changing.

  With the situation constantly changing, how can there be any particularly stable relationship?

If one day, some of my policies also offend you, then I will be in trouble both inside and outside. It is easy to enter Lingshan, but it is not easy to get out. "

Zhunti said, "Isn't that too much? I don't believe that with your wisdom, you would create such a situation where you are neither a good person nor a bad person."

Qin Yao said seriously: "With the two saints as powerful as the sun in the sky, I can't display much wisdom after entering Lingshan. I can only follow the saint's rules. That is, the saints set the rules, tasks, and goals, and I will be a tool.

Otherwise, whenever I want to achieve something, I will have disagreements with the two saints.

Let me give you an example. Why did Ran Deng and others strongly advise me to join Lingshan? Because they were not native to the Western religion, but outsiders. If I joined Lingshan, I would also be an outsider, and the outsiders would be able to unite successfully, and in this way they would be much better off.

This kind of factional dispute is bound to evolve into a party dispute. In order to prevent internal friction among the party disputes, and prevent things like mutual blaming, lip service, frame-up and power grabbing, I will advocate managing the two factions separately, one for the Mahayana Buddhism and the other for the Hinayana Buddhism.

The two factions check and balance each other, and there will be no internal friction due to the local faction and the outsider faction. This is the most beneficial approach to my rule.

If the local faction plays a trick on me and refuses to obey orders, I can use the outsiders to suppress the local faction and force them into submission.

However, this can be accomplished under the ideal condition that neither of you two saints cares about anything. My division into Mahayana and Hinayana is, in some ways, dividing Western religion. Do you agree with this governing philosophy?

Even if you agree, can the Saint Jie Yin agree?"

These words left Zhunti silent again.

But this time, he didn't even have a reason to continue persuading.

Very helpless.

Only if they completely delegate power can Shen Gongbao perform at his full potential after taking over the Western religion.

But Western religion is the foundation of their existence and the basis of their sainthood. It is unlikely that they would give up power, let alone ask Jie Yin to give up power.

If he really delegated power, wouldn't all the hard work of countless generations be wasted on Shen Gongbao?

Why?

  Why should they give up the holy religion that they had built up bit by bit with great difficulty?

But if we don't delegate power, we will fall into the situation that Shen Gongbao described, and there is no solution to this situation.

"such a pity."

After a long time, Zhunti finally gave up the idea of ​​recruiting Shen Gongbao and let out a long sigh.

Qin Yao turned his head and looked at Jin Guang, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to regret. Although I don't want to and cannot become the master of Lingshan, even if we don't talk about the relationship with Bodhi, if Jin Guang worships you as his master, then you are Jin Guang's mother's family. From this relationship, how can I not help the Western Church with advice?"

Zhunti burst out laughing.

However, I had a feeling that the other party might be planning to do something big.

"I have a question."

"Saint, please speak."

"In the Conferred Gods War, you can rely on your status as a Chan Sect member and your connections to get the upper hand and use the opponent's strength to your advantage.

But now you no longer have the status of a Chanmen, and your connections can no longer withstand your frequent invitations.

This forces you to have a strong enough organization under you. But if you start from now, from nothing to something, accumulating little by little, will it be in time?" Zhunti asked.

Qin Yao fell silent, mainly hesitating whether to tell the other party the truth.

Just as Zhunti said, his biggest weakness now is that he has little time, shallow foundation, and has connections but no power of his own. He seems difficult to provoke, but in fact he is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

To be more specific, it is said that the Zhou Dynasty lasted for 800 years, but in fact it only existed for a total of 790 years.

During these 790 years, it was divided into the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Most of the so-called Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were included in the timeline of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty did not perish until the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Western Zhou Principality and King Nan of Zhou died.

The story of "The Legend of Wukong" takes place shortly after the birth of Sun Wukong. At that time, he was not even the Monkey King who shook the world, but just a monkey who had learned skills.

After studying the original work of Journey to the West, the textual research party deduced from the Tang Dynasty that Sun Wukong was probably born around 578 BC, which was the Spring and Autumn Period.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was established in 1046 BC. Now two years have passed. Counting from 1044 BC, the time left for him is only 446 years at most.

It is undoubtedly a pipe dream to want to build an organization that can respond to disasters in more than 400 years.

There is no need to talk about the Holy Religion. Those immortal sects in the human world, without a history of thousands of years, are not considered to be high-ranking sects with profound heritage.

Therefore, it would definitely be too late to rely solely on his strength to accumulate little by little.

But there is always a way out, and there is always a glimmer of hope for everything. In this matter, his only hope lies in the human fire.

If we can completely subdue the Fire Seed Organization inherited by the Three Emperors and recruit some peripheral members, a powerful force will be formed...

But, should I tell Zhunti about this?

After hesitating for a long time, Qin Yao decided not to say it.

It's not that I'm worried about Zhunti, but the matter of taming the Fire Seed has not been even started yet, and there is no benefit in talking about it so early. "Do your best and leave the rest to fate. My luck has always been good."

After making up his mind, Qin Yao said seriously and solemnly.

Zhunti thought he was hesitating about something, but it turned out that he was feeling quite heavy, so he comforted him: "Your luck is indeed not bad, if it was a little worse, you would not be able to escape unscathed."

Qin Yao nodded and said with a smile: "It's good that the Saint can understand me. Let's stop here and ask me to be the master of Lingshan. Daji, why don't you come and pay homage to the Saint."

"Daji pays homage to the saint." Daji, who had been acting as a background board since she arrived here, hurried forward and paid her respects with great ceremony.

"Get up." Zhunti looked down at her and said calmly, "Since I have promised Shen Gongbao that I will confer the title of Bodhisattva of the Western Religion upon you, I will keep my word. Now you should go with me to the Western Paradise to be conferred the title."

Daji was overjoyed and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Saint."

From now on, the rest of your life will be secure.

Zhunti nodded, then looked at Qin Yao and Jin Guang: "You two should come back with me. Jin Guang is also going to hold a teacher-apprentice banquet. After the banquet, I will confer the title of Jin Guang Bodhisattva on her."

Qin Yao silently held the golden palm and said with a smile: "Okay, we have no problem."

Looking at their hands held together, Daji's heart suddenly felt a prick of pain, and the sense of surprise also dissipated for a long time...

Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.

Choosing the wrong person could ruin your life.

Three days later.

A grand banquet to pay homage to the master, or a ceremony to accept disciples, was held at Lingshan. Countless immortals and Buddhas from the East and the West were present. It was like a gathering of gods and the hall was filled with holiness.

Inside the Great Leiyin Temple.

On the high platform, the Golden Light Mother knelt down in front of Zhunti in front of all the gods, offered tea, and said softly: "Master, please have some tea."

Zhunti took the tea bowl, took a sip, and then began to talk about some teachings and the rules and regulations of the sect.

Under the high platform, Daji quietly came to Qin Yao's side, handed him a round stone carving, and said softly: "This is the reward I promised to give you."

Qin Yao stretched out his hand and put the stone carving into the divine realm, saying, "We are even now."

Daji shook her head: "No, I still owe you. If you need me in the future, just go to Yueyouxing to find me..."

While the two were talking, Zhunti on the high platform finished explaining the sect's rules and regulations, and then in front of all the gods and Buddhas, he took out the Six Pure Bamboos, the most precious treasure of the Western Sect, and handed it to the Golden Light Mother Goddess:

"Now that the rules are explained, it's time to give the gift. This is my most precious treasure, the Six Pure Bamboos. It has our martial arts techniques engraved on it, and it has the ability to beat and trap people. I am giving it to you. I hope you will practice diligently in the future and avoid troubles and disasters."

“Thank you, Master.” The Golden Light Mother raised her hands and took the treasure respectfully.

Under the high platform, Qin Yao looked at the six pure bamboos shining brightly under the spiritual light and couldn't help laughing.

This treasure went around and around, back and forth, and finally ended up in his home...

"Get up."

Zhunti personally helped the Golden Light Mother up, and then looked around at the gods and Buddhas in the palace: "It happens that all the distinguished guests are present here, I am here to announce that there are three great things happening today.

First, let me tell you the reasons why you are here. I, an old monk, have accepted a disciple as my personal disciple.

Second, it is about the imperial decree. Where is the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Daji?"

Daji, who was standing next to Qin Yao, immediately flew up to the platform and bowed, "Daji is here."

Seeing that this demon fox was cleansed by Zhunti and turned into a celestial fox, many of the gods present changed their expressions.

Especially some gods who were persecuted by Daji, their faces were extremely ugly, but they dared not speak out.

After all, the Yin gods who were listed in the List of Gods dared not even shout in the Heavenly Palace, let alone act recklessly in the Western Paradise.

"The root cause of Daji's misfortune to the Shang Dynasty was that Emperor Xin of the Shang Dynasty was arrogant and unruly, which angered the sage. This was the sage's punishment for Emperor Xin, so from beginning to end, she was just fulfilling the sage's order.

Now that her mission has been accomplished, the Heavenly Court has recognized her achievements and named her the Moon-Wandering Star Lord." Zhunti continued to whitewash Daji and used her influence to confuse right and wrong.

Of course, it may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is confusing right and wrong. This statement can only be said to be half true and half false.

After all, at the beginning, Daji really followed orders, and in the end, she successfully overthrew the Shang Dynasty.

But regardless of the past, Zhunti said this today, so this will be the truth of the matter in the future...

After clearing Daji, Zhunti said: "After Shen Gongbao recommended her, I conducted a test on her and found that she does have some wisdom and Buddha bones.

As the saying goes, if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha. Since she has a Buddha's heart and mind, I am willing to give her a chance. I hope to tell the world that it is better to put down your butcher knife and turn back. "

"Thank you, Saint." I don't know whether it was true or not, but Daji looked so moved that she burst into tears and prostrated herself on the ground.

Zhunti smiled and said, "I, by order of the leader of the Western Religion, confer the title of Heavenly Fox Bodhisattva on Daji."

Daji knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, thus officially clearing herself as a member of the Western religion.

However, unlike the Golden Light Mother who could obtain the magic weapon to protect the religion, Daji, as the Heavenly Fox Bodhisattva, was not given any magic weapon. Attaining the Bodhisattva status was her greatest gain today.

"The third thing."

After Daji left, Zhunti shouted, "Where are Randeng, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang?"

After hearing these four names, the gods were in an uproar.

After the Conferred God Ceremony, these four high-ranking members of the Chan sect disappeared. The Heavenly Court and the Chan sect have been searching for them ever since, but have never found any trace of them.

I never thought that they were hiding in this Western religion.

Also.

Hiding here, even if the Heavenly Court and the Chan Sect launched a carpet search, it would be impossible to find them.

At the same time, all the guests present realized why Zhunti called out the four immortals at this moment, and they couldn't help but get excited.

However, it is difficult to say whether this excitement contains excitement or anger. It all depends on one's own position.

But one thing is certain.

What happened today will surely be recorded in the history of the Three Realms.

And these guests will all be witnesses of this famous event!
