Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 535: The Buddhist sect does not help the teachings? A promise is a promise, double happiness.

"Venerable, the most important thing in Buddhist practice is your character. You should guard against arrogance and impatience. When you return, you should retreat for a hundred years. Otherwise, you might be involved in this killing calamity."

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the Great Sage National Master Wang Bodhisattva and said.

"Great Master, help him but not me?" The Great Sage National Master Wang Bodhisattva was also shocked when he heard this. What is reason? The cultivation level of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva as a Daluo Jinxian is reason. If it is taken away directly, who can say anything?
Moreover, when Ji Ren took action, Guanyin Bodhisattva controlled the sword and put it back, but if he took action himself, he would be controlled. The difference in treatment is self-evident.

"It's about right and wrong. Venerable, you are too attached to appearances." Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head.

"Uncle Master, who is this Bodhisattva? He is so shameless. He failed to guard the prisoner properly and let the prisoner escape. I killed him, but he repaid me with evil. He even firmly believed that the Avici Sword should belong to him. Could he have come from Vulture Peak?" Ji Ren asked.

Vulture Peak is the place of practice of the ancient Buddhist Buddha Dipankara.

“No, he was taught by our master himself. His Dharma image is that of the Great Saint National Master Wang Bodhisattva and he has nothing to do with the ancient Buddha.” Guanyin Bodhisattva explained.

"Really? But why do they seem equally shameless to me? They killed people and failed to seize the treasure, and when someone else got it, they thought they had robbed them. This behavior really reminds me of the scene when the ancient Buddha Rāhula seized the Dinghai Pearl." Ji Ren chuckled.

"The Avici Sword should have belonged to our Buddhist sect. Ji Ren, do you really want to be an enemy of our Buddhist sect for this magic weapon?" said the Great Sage National Master Wang Bodhisattva, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"An enemy of Buddhism?" Ji Ren raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said in a cold voice, "Is the Buddhist Lotus of Debate specially used to confuse right and wrong? This is the Haishui area, which was conferred by the Great Celestial Venerable himself. It was awarded by the leader of the Chan Sect and ordered me to guard this place. I don't care if you released the monster privately or failed to guard it well. This Rakshasa escaped because of you. You are responsible for disturbing the creatures in the Haishui area. Now you, an invader, are acting wild instead?"

"The Rakshasa's escape has nothing to do with me. After I heard about it, I immediately came to remedy the situation. But now it seems that it was the demon from the Jiejiao who was causing trouble. It is really foolish of you to fight against my Buddhist sect and you are only trying to help others show off their power." The Great Sage National Master Wang Bodhisattva said angrily.

"This is an inference and there is no empirical evidence. I believe in my uncle, but that doesn't mean it is necessarily true. The reason that Rakshasa escaped secretly, this kind of reason has been used by you Buddhists many times during the Journey to the West. Don't say this reason, it will make you a laughing stock. And even if Jiejiao is involved here, so what? Doesn't it mean that you Buddhists are definitely clean? Who knows if you will conspire with Jiejiao to murder me? In this battle, I killed Rakshasa, and Jiejiao was affected by Rakshasa's karma. Isn't there any benefit for you Buddhists? You want to kill Rakshasa but dare not, so you use my hand! And by doing this, you emphasize that the third generation chief of my Chanjiao was plotted against by Jiejiao, thereby intensifying the contradiction between Chanjiao and Jiejiao, increasing the losses of the two sects in the killing calamity, and enhancing the strength of Buddhism." Ji Ren said.

"You are just trying to accuse me, so you can always find a pretext for it." The Great Sage State Master Wang Bodhisattva said in annoyance.

"What do you mean by false accusation? Aren't you in charge of this Rakshasa? Now that the Rakshasa is causing chaos, does it have nothing to do with you? You are responsible for all the lives killed by the Rakshasa today. I am a small person and my words do not matter, but I will ask all the senior brothers to go to Lingshan to ask about today's matter tomorrow." Ji Ren said in a cold voice.

"Go to Lingshan to ask? I am waiting for that day. However, there are some things that I am afraid you, a junior, cannot decide." The Great Saint State Master Wang Bodhisattva looked at Ji Ren and said, "When the killing calamity comes, if your Chan Sect really wants to become enemies with my Buddhist sect because of the Avici Sword, and if my Buddhist sect does not join the game at that time, can you bear the responsibility for this crime?"

"What did you say? If I don't hand over the Avici Sword, you Buddhists will not enter my Jambudvīpa and interfere with the killing of immortals?" Ji Ren said to the Great Saint National Master Wang Bodhisattva.

“So what?” The Great Sage National Master Wang Bodhisattva looked at Ji Ren, a smug look emerged on his face. The killing calamity was coming, and in order to break the Jiejiao Zhuxian Sword Formation, the Buddhist sect had to take action.

Seeing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned slightly and wanted to take action to stop the Great Saint National Master Wang Bodhisattva. First, bullying Ji Ren in front of her, as if she didn't exist? Second, whether the Buddhist sect should take action on such a major matter was not up to the Great Saint National Master Wang Bodhisattva to decide, and he didn't even have the qualifications to make suggestions.

"It's a deal, double happiness!" Ji Ren was overjoyed when he heard this, and looked at the Great Saint State Master Wang Bodhisattva and said, "Bodhisattva, why don't you swear to the heavens right now that if Buddhism enters the Southern Continent, you will die immediately and your soul will be scattered?"

Seeing the genuine expression on Ji Ren's face, the Great Saint State Master Wang Bodhisattva froze and said to Ji Ren, "Don't you think I'm trying to scare you?"

"Don't scare me, so please keep your word, Bodhisattva." Ji Ren said to the Great Saint National Master Wang Bodhisattva.

Are the two saints of Buddhism useful?

Very useful, after all, they are basically invincible once they take action.

But really speaking, it's of no use.

With the List of Gods in hand and the mandate of heaven in the hands of the orthodox teaching, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun are enough to defeat the Taoist Master Tongtian when they join forces.

The only trouble is the Zhu Xian Sword Formation. Once a saint sets up the formation, it can only be broken by four saints.

But since the will of heaven is with Chan, the Zhu Xian sword formation can definitely be broken.

Not to mention the Emperor of Heaven and others, if you really can't break it, the Taoist Ancestor will come down to earth himself and break it for you.

In the Three Realms, why can't supernatural powers defeat destiny, and why is destiny supreme?

Because ancestor Hongjun is invincible!

Moreover, does it really have to be broken?

Jiejiao was good at positional warfare. After Patriarch Tongtian set up the Zhuxian Sword Formation, he was actually trapped in the Zhuxian Sword Formation and he could only guard one side.

During the Shang Dynasty, when eight hundred princes attacked Chaoge, Tongtian Sect Leader only blocked the Xiqi route, and he had no control over the other three routes of princes in the east, south, and north. When the time comes, the east, south, and north can also attack.

At worst, we can take King Wu to other vassal states and directly control the military power.

If you have the ability, please don’t come. Thank you so much.

"Venerable, the matter here is complicated. You should return to Lingshan and report to the Buddha before making a decision." Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the Great Sage National Master Wang Bodhisattva and said.

Let's go. If it really comes to this, your words may not be as effective as Ji Ren's, even though your cultivation is worse than his.

The Great Saint State Master Wang Bodhisattva, who was about to open his mouth to refute, heard Guanyin Bodhisattva speak, and dared not argue anymore. He had to give up for the time being and said to Ji Ren, "It is better to meet in person than to hear about him. I never thought that the legendary genius of the Chan Sect would be like this."

After saying this, the Great Sage National Master Wang Bodhisattva cut through the void and left the South China Sea.

"It's totally unreasonable. You're just throwing a tantrum and yet you think you've won." Seeing this, Ji Ren sneered.

Upon hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva shook her head slightly and said helplessly, "Why do you have to be angry with him? Although you are extremely talented, you have not practiced enough and your cultivation is still shallow. Even if you have two top-grade spiritual treasures, you can't do anything to him. If I don't come, you will continue to fight and you will be the loser."

"According to the rules of the Chan sect, you can go anywhere if you are right. As long as you are right, the entire Chan sect will support you, and you will have a clear conscience. In this matter, I am right, and he is the one who is wrong. It's just that my cultivation is still shallow. If my cultivation was deeper, I would have killed him." Ji Ren said.

Listening to the words "If you are right, you can go anywhere in the world", Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but feel dazed, and recalled the scene of Yuxu Palace back then. If you are right, you can go anywhere in the world. As long as you are right, don't be afraid. If you can't beat them, find your master. If your master can't beat you, there is still your grandmaster.

Forcing himself to retract his thoughts, Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Ji Ren and said, "Having said that, you shouldn't have a grudge against the Buddhist sect and even started a fight. You must know that when the killing calamity comes and the three religions fight, Buddhism is also a great help. If you act like this, you will play into Ma Sui and the others' wishes and make the Chan sect lack allies."

"Buddhism is a helper, but also a fierce tiger. If you want their help, you have to repay it. To be honest, I don't want to repay it. Taking a step back, can a Bodhisattva really influence the overall situation? Whether Buddhism will help depends on where the destiny lies. If the destiny lies with Chan, they will come by themselves. If the destiny lies with Jie, they will not help each other." Ji Ren said.

In terms of destiny, the two Western saints and Laozi are the same. They help whoever the divine whip gives them.

But it is different for Tongtian Jiaozhu, he and the two from the West do not get along well.

He believed that the West was an outsider, and that the two saints from the West beating Taiqing and Yuqing was no different from beating him.

Therefore, Master Tongtian holds the power of destiny and does not need the two saints from the West.

The Buddhist community has no chance to invest, so they can only not help either side.

"Bodhisattva cannot influence the overall situation, and neither can you. If the two religions are destined to cooperate in the future, you are bringing trouble to yourself this time." said Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Who knows about things that haven't happened yet? And no matter what, others have come to bully me. If I don't fight back, wouldn't it make me look weak? Then everyone will come to bully me?" Ji Ren said.

"But right now, the real murderer has not been punished." said Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Then we have to find a way to make him be punished. But uncle, are Buddhists really not considered the murderers?" Ji Ren looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva and said.

"Do you suspect that I am lying to you?" Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Ji Ren and frowned slightly.

"No, I believe that uncle won't lie to you, but is it possible that the Buddhist sect actually knows about this, but they choose to let it go? If I die, and the Buddhist sect investigates it carefully and finds out that it was the Jie sect that did it, and that the Buddhist sect was plotted against, then won't the Orthodox and Jie sects fight even more fiercely? Although the relationship between the Orthodox and Jie sects no longer needs the Buddhist sect to sow discord, it's not like they haven't done such things before. To be more precise, isn't that how they made their fortune?" Ji Ren said, looking at Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Do you have deep hatred towards Buddhism?" Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Ji Ren and said.

"I have ill will towards all the strong strangers. After all, human hearts are hard to predict. Moreover, now that the killing calamity has come, who can tell whether it is a human or a ghost, a god or a demon? I am weak and have no other choice. In Buddhism, I dare not trust anyone except my uncle." Ji Ren said.

This matter was inevitably caused by the Jiejiao.

But it is hard to say whether Buddhism is truly innocent.

"Daoyou, please stay" is powerful.

But it is still vulnerable to the words "My fellow Taoist, we are destined to go to the West."
