What bad intentions can a temple blessing have?

Chapter 524: Unraveling the truth of the past

"you……"

Fahai gritted his teeth and spoke under tremendous pressure, but he only said one word before meeting Jiang Qi's eyes.

The next moment, Fahai became blurred and disappeared from where he was.

When it reappeared, it was already deeply embedded in the lotus pedestal of the golden body of Tathagata Buddha.

Well, I can’t even deduct it.

After Jiang Qi dealt with Fahai, he looked at Qiao Ling'er again.

The other party still kept his eyes lowered and recited scriptures, as if he had no reaction to anything in the outside world.

Jiang Qi didn't care. He casually summoned a cushion and sat in front of Qiao Ling'er.

"You are such a great Buddha, but you are acting like this now. Isn't that a little too shameless?"

Jiang Qi spoke with a smile, with no intention of giving the other party any face.

"Amitabha."

Qiao Ling'er finally opened her eyes, raised her head and looked at Jiang Qi.

There seemed to be a bottomless cold pond hidden in those calm eyes.

Jiang Qi seemed unaware of anything and continued to smile and look at Qiao Ling'er.

"Amitabha……"

Qiao Linger chanted the Buddha's name again and said softly, "I don't know you, the donor."

"is it?"

Jiang Qi smiled and said, "But I know you, little master."

"The person the donor knows is not me."

Qiao Linger spoke in a straightforward manner, without any twists and turns in her tone: "Everything is in the past, why should you be so persistent?"

"Fuck you."

Jiang Qi said with a smile.

Qiao Linger frowned and said, "The donor's anger is too strong."

"Zheng!"

What answered Qiao Ling'er was a long sword.

The black-handled, white-bladed, ordinary-looking long sword was placed on Qiao Linger's neck.

The sword was humming.

"I am not the first person to combine the four swords of Zhu Xian into one. The first person to do so has already betrayed the sword in his hand."

Jiang Qi held the humming and vibrating sword and said calmly, "It also betrayed the Tao in my heart."

"I am just an abandoned child who has no choice."

Qiao Ling'er lowered her eyes, not caring at all that the sword on her neck could take her life at any time.

"What a helpless person, what a discarded child."

Jiang Qi sneered: "Is this the excuse you're looking for for yourself?"

"In the past, the Hu people were transformed into Buddhas. Even if the two saints in the West united the Mahayana and Hinayana, the Saint Taiqing would see that it was impossible to do anything. I don't believe that he would sit back and watch you being plotted against."

"You know very well, and I know very well too. Even if the Three Pure Ones used their true fire to destroy the prehistoric world, it would only be a private matter!"

Jiang Qi stood up and looked down at Qiao Ling'er.

"What you call abandoned children and what you call being forced to do are nothing but excuses and reasons."

"During the great calamity of the Conferred Gods in the past, all the disciples of Jiejiao fell into the calamity. Even the saints of Shangqing could not protect them all."

"The Turtle Spirit Mother died and paid the price with all her heritage, but she managed to escape the catastrophe and returned as a Jiejiao Immortal!"

"Why do you think the Holy Saint Shangqing only planned to escape for the Holy Mother Guiling? It was because most of his thoughts were on you at that time!"

"In front of the Zhuxian formation, you were captured by the Taiqing Saint. The saint took action and shackled you with the Wind and Fire Cushion, imprisoning you in Xuandu Mountain. In this way, even the infinite calamity could not do anything to your life."

"Then, the Saint Taiqing will use your body to transform the barbarians into Buddhas, and use this cause and effect to dispel the calamity."

"Everything is going well. After you turned from a barbarian to a Buddha, you are no longer threatened by the Conferred God Tribulation. Even if the two saints from the West merge the Mahayana and Hinayana, if you are willing to sacrifice your merits and return to Jin'ao Island, it will not be difficult for the Saint of Shangqing to protect you with his reputation as a fierce man!"

“I just don’t believe that Duobao Taoist, who is praised by the Three Pure Ones as the most central person of the second generation of Xuanmen, doesn’t even have the courage to rebuild his merits!”

"pity……"

Jiang Qi shook his head slightly and sighed, "The Three Pure Ones had a tacit understanding and wanted to preserve the flame of Jiejiao, but they didn't take your choice into account."

"The evaluation of the second generation of Xuanmen as the most central figure is absolutely correct."

"But compared to your so-called character, your ambition is even more determined!" "In the past, in Zixiao Palace, the Taoist master said: There should be seven saints under my tutelage."

"Yes! To date, only the Six Saints have returned!"

Jiang Qi looked at Qiao Ling'er coldly... No, Tathagata Buddha!
"There are three saints in Taoism, the Saint Nuwa is independent of Taoism and Buddhism, and there are two saints in Buddhism!"

"You want the seventh holy seat!"

"The Dao Sect reached its peak and then declined, and then there was the Conferred God Tribulation. After the Conferred God Tribulation, the Buddhist Sect would rise."

"Your ambition is to become the third saint of Western Buddhism!"

"Rather than saying that you abandoned your son and had no choice but to enter Buddhism to become a Buddha, it would be better to say that you did it for the hope of becoming a saint!"

"There are three saints in Taoism and two saints in Buddhism. If Buddhism can reproduce the prosperity of Taoism in the past, the hope of becoming a saint will be greater than in Taoism."

"This is what you want!"

"The two saints from the West merged the Mahayana and Hinayana. This is what you wanted to see!"

Jiang Qi said a lot in one breath.

But Tathagata Buddha did not refute a word, perhaps because he felt that everything Jiang Qi said was just speculation from the perspective of protecting Taoism.

Or maybe...what Jiang Qi said is right!
Every word directly revealed the thoughts of Tathagata Buddha, and every word was bloody!
Taoist Duobao has let down the sincere heart of Saint Shangqing, and also let down the friendship of his fellow disciples who were willing to be put on the list to face the calamity even though they knew that their master was partial to their eldest brother!

The calamity of Conferred Gods is an immeasurable calamity. Even for a saint of Shangqing, it is a foolish dream to want to protect all his disciples in this great calamity.

The Saint Shangqing made his own choice.

He put most of his energy on his eldest disciple Duobao.

Even if the price is that he can no longer protect other disciples and can only watch them appear on the list of gods!
But Zhao Gongming, Sanxiao, Jinling Shengmu and others had no complaints.

Because they all know very well that if Jiejiao wants to preserve the fire, the best choice is the eldest brother!
Don’t think of anyone else!

However, the choice made by Taoist Duobao made Saint Taiqing sigh.

If Jiang Qi can see it, how could the Three Pure Ones not see it?
But even when Duobao made this choice, the Three Pure Ones did not stop him.

Since the disciple is ambitious, what would it matter if I turned myself into a stepping stone for the disciple to climb to the top?
Isn’t this what a Master should do?
The Tathagata Buddha raised his head, looked at Jiang Qi, and suddenly smiled.

"The Dao Sect finally has successors."

"You are not worthy to say that."

Jiang Qi replied coldly.

"Amitabha."

The Buddha Tathagata did not care about Jiang Qi's attitude. He just stood up and let the sword rest on his neck.

"I have failed my master, failed the Dao sect, and failed the Immortal Execution Sword in your hand."

The Tathagata Buddha said frankly.

"Zheng!!"

The sword in Jiang Qi's hand burst out with a sharp edge, and that edge was filled with an extremely angry meaning.

"Three days."

The Tathagata Buddha suddenly said: "In three days, I will come back again, and Buddhism will be under my control."

“Only then did my path to sainthood have a foundation.”

"Jiang Qi."

He called Jiang Qi's name and said seriously: "On this road, I have walked ahead of everyone else."

"Including Xuandu."

“Even though I paid a lot, I have no regrets.”

"If you want to kill me, you can do it now."

Jiang Qi didn't say anything and didn't move.

Because he knew very well that even if he crushed Qiao Ling'er to ashes and destroyed her soul, he would not be able to stop the return of Tathagata Buddha.

but……

Jiang Qi suddenly put away the sword in his hand, turned sideways, moved to the side, and stood still with his head down.

The Tathagata Buddha's expression suddenly froze.

"tread……"

The sound of soft footsteps echoed in the main hall.

From...behind Tathagata.
