Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

"The discussion here is about our Buddhist sect's willingness to turn hostility into friendship. Is this the attitude of the True Lord?"

Facing Ji Ren's question, Medicine Buddha also responded with a gloomy face.

"If we can't talk about the facts, let's talk about the attitude. Putting aside the facts, no wonder the Buddhist debates are invincible in the three realms, so that's how it is. Today, I have learned a lot." Ji Ren laughed as he listened to the words of Medicine Buddha.

Medicine Buddha’s face suddenly turned dark upon hearing this.

"However, facts are facts, and Buddhists should not try to confuse right and wrong. On the contrary, Buddhism's attitude is now obvious. Is your attitude to deny the facts?" Ji Ren said to the Medicine Buddha.

"What facts? Ji Ren, my boy, although you are now the Emperor Dongyin, the Dharma image you condense is not that of the Emperor Dongyin. Whether this deity is legitimate is another matter. Even if you are the Emperor Dongyin, so what? Just because you are the Emperor Dongyin does not mean that your laws are correct. What's more, even if there are mistakes, the true teachings of the Three Religions should be punished by the Three Religions. Do you want to deny this? Or do the four of you think so too?" The Buddha of Burning Lamp spoke again.

The Heavenly Court dominates the three realms, but there are also things that the Heavenly Court cannot control.

The saintly tradition is not bound by the heavenly court.

The unspoken rules recognized by the three realms.

Now you are using the laws of Heaven to kill my saint's disciples. Does your Chan sect acknowledge that the saint's orthodoxy is subject to the constraints of Heaven?

"Wrong. Heaven has its own way, and we, Bajing Palace and Yuxu Palace, act on behalf of Heaven. You guys stay in the west and do whatever you want, but if you leave Xiniu Hezhou, you need to obey the law, otherwise you will go against Heaven's will. No matter how powerful you are, you will die and be punished by Heaven, Bajing Palace and Yuxu Palace! And you guys are avoiding the topic, don't you already concede that Tuxingsun and the others were instructed by you?" Ji Ren retorted.

Unspoken rules are hard to break.

But you messed with me, so damn it.

"What the Great Emperor Dongyin said is absolutely true."

At this moment, above the sky, there were thousands of rays of light, a proud phoenix cry was heard, and a noble and sacred goddess sitting on the royal carriage slowly came over.

"Meet the Queen Mother."

Seeing the person coming, the faces of the Buddha Dipankara changed. They looked at Ji Ren in surprise. They didn't expect that this guy could actually shake the person out. However, even though they knew that the Queen Mother was here to help Ji Ren, they still had to perform this ceremony.

After all, the Queen Mother's status is higher than theirs.

"You are welcome, everyone. I just heard that Emperor Dongyin was wronged and seemed to have a conflict with Buddhism. I was wondering, all the Buddhas are highly respected and have great merits, how could there be a conflict that caused the younger generation to be wronged? That's why I came here specially. I am sorry to disturb the Bodhisattva." The Queen Mother first said to the Buddha Dipankara with a smile, and then looked at the Bodhisattva Guanyin.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. You are the leader of the female fairies and the Taoist companion of the Great Celestial Lord. It is also your right to manage the three realms. Now that Your Majesty has come to administer justice, it is naturally the best thing." Guanyin Bodhisattva said with a smile.

"In this case, I will be the one to uphold justice. What do you think?" Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at everyone with a smile.

To be honest, she was also surprised that Ji Ren was able to get Master Xuandu and Immortal Huangjiao to come.

But after being surprised, she realized that this was a perfect opportunity and it was time to strike at the Buddhist gate.

"Your Majesty is fair and selfless, which is naturally the best. Who has any objections? Besides, Taoism and Buddhism should not interfere in worldly affairs. Such matters should be handled by Your Majesty." Master Xuandu agreed with a smile.

Although the Buddhists were unwilling, how could they refuse at this moment?

There are four on our side and six on the other side.

This does not include the Emperor Ziwei and the Emperor Gou Chen in Heaven.

Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled slightly, sat down and said that she would uphold justice.

But the four Buddhists didn't believe her fairness.

"Come on, why don't you say anything? Weren't you talking nonstop just now? Now that the Queen Mother is here, you can tell her if you have any grievances. The Queen Mother will make the decision for you. Or do you also know that you have violated the laws of heaven and acted arbitrarily, angering heaven and people, and now you dare not say anything? Do you think that Buddhism is the only dominant one? People who always claim to be outside the world, why should they go outside the world? Why do you come here?"

Although Randeng and the others said nothing, Taiyi Zhenren would not let them go. Instead, he scolded them in a cold voice.

"Master, you are wrong. The golden elixir and the relics have the same origin. Although we are from outside the world, it is our duty to save all living beings. You killed the golden immortals and five hundred arhats under my command. Shouldn't you give an explanation?" Medicine Buddha retorted immediately.

"Explanation? What explanation do you want? You should give me an explanation." Ji Ren shouted harshly.

……

At this moment, the two sides were engaged in a passionate verbal battle.

It’s just that because Ji Ren’s side is stronger than the other side, Ji Ren has the advantage in words.

However, when it comes to core interests, Buddhism is unwilling to give in.

At first, everyone tried to reason.

But later on, it was just pure output.

No matter how unreasonable the other side's words are, both sides stick to their own views.

The Buddhists believe that when we die, the one who died is not just an ordinary person, but a golden immortal. You must compensate us, right? We died, right? Death is the greatest thing, don’t you know?

The Taoist sect said, "You killed someone, so what? You deserved it. You violated the law and were punished. It's natural. The person behind the scenes deserves death even more! Hand him over."

After arguing for quite some time, they still couldn't come to a conclusion.

However, the emotions have been vented to a certain extent.

The Buddha of Burning Lamp spoke again slowly, looking directly at the Immortal Nanji and said, "Nanji, there is no point in arguing like this. It is natural for the Buddhist sect to come to the South Sea to preach. It is not without conflicts with Guanjiangkou over the years, but the upper class of Guanjiangkou has never been hurt. Now that the True Lord has come, a Mingwang Bodhisattva has died in the South Sea. This is unreasonable. If this is what you mean, then the Western Region will no longer participate in the Conferred God War."

I am not as strong as the other person and I can’t win the argument, so I just show my cards.

Think carefully, what is the situation of your Chan sect?
Without our help, could you have defeated Jiejiao?
If the two saints had not taken action, would you have been able to break the Zhuxian Formation?
Think about it carefully, who needs who more now?

The Conferred God Tribulation has nothing to do with us. "Okay, then don't participate. Please sign a document right now. If from now on, anyone from the Buddhist sect participates in the Conferred God Tribulation, the Buddha will go crazy and die suddenly, is that ok?" Ji Ren said to the Buddha Ran Deng.

What are you pretending to be?

The same old threats.

Without you, there would be some impact.

But that's just some.

Two hundred years later, I and my clones will be able to defeat all the Jiejiao sects.

The only thing that has an impact is the Zhu Xian Formation, but there are eight saints in total, and if you remove three, there are still five left!

Moreover, to be honest, if they really wanted to stop it, before the catastrophe began, the two saints would have blocked the Biyou Palace directly, and Tongtian Sect Master would not even be able to get out of the door.

Why are you afraid of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation?
"Is this the decision of the Chan sect?" The Buddha Dipankara ignored Ji Ren and looked at the Immortal of the South Pole.

The one who can really make this decision is the Immortal of Antarctica.

“Junior Brother Ji Ren can fully represent the Chan Sect, and now that this matter has happened to Junior Brother Ji Ren, it is natural for him to decide.” The Immortal of the South Pole said with a smile.

The expression of Buddha Dipamkara changed slightly. He didn't expect that this would be the answer.

"So, this is the decision of the Chan sect. There is one more thing. The Conferred Gods have nothing to do with you, but it does not mean that you can live in peace. Don't forget that there is still the Journey to the West. I can arrange the 81 difficulties for you. Don't worry, I won't kill Tang Monk." Ji Ren said with a smile looking at the Buddha Dipankara.

As for threats, everyone knows how to do it.

We want to confer the title of God here, and you also want to travel to the West.

Although, a normal journey to the West is not dangerous.

But with us here, do you still think there is no threat?

I will arrange all the 81 difficulties for you.

If the gods who come down die, don’t blame us!
Hearing Ji Ren's words, the expressions of the two Buddhas, Dipankara and Medicine Master, changed. Even the smile on Maitreya Buddha's face disappeared. He looked at Ji Ren and said, "Emperor, this joke is not funny at all."

"So, whether it is a joke or not depends on you. I don't care about other places, but the Hai Waters is my territory, and only my rules are rules. Any creature that enters the Hai Waters is tantamount to seeking death. And since you all want to cover up, I will settle the matter with you when we travel to the West." Ji Ren said.

"There are still two hundred years before the havoc in heaven. After the havoc in heaven, Sun Wukong will be suppressed for five hundred years, which means there are still seven hundred years. The emperor is so frivolous that he may not be able to survive the catastrophe." Dipankara Buddha looked at Ji Ren and said.

"What the Buddha said is wrong. The Emperor Dongyin has great fortune and will definitely live to see the Journey to the West. This is what the Great Heavenly Venerable said. If anything happens to him, the Great Heavenly Venerable doesn't mind coming down to the human world in person." The Queen Mother spoke again.

The face of Buddha Dipamkara became even darker.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ji Ren bowed to the Queen Mother, and then said to Randeng, "The great head is here, it just depends on who can take it. However, regardless of anything else, the Buddha certainly cannot take it away. Moreover, Buddha, do you really dare to take it? I put this here today, even if there is no Great Heavenly Venerable, if the Buddha can kill me, then the Grand Master and the Grand Master will attack Lingshan the next day. Unless the Buddha follows the Two Saints of the West in this life, he will surely die." Ji Ren said.

Even if you follow him you may not survive.

Besides, Ji Ren didn't think that Dipamkara Buddha had the chance to kill him.

Upon hearing this, the Buddha Dipamkara's face turned pale, but he did not speak for a long time because he really did not dare to do so.

"Everyone has their own opinions, and it seems that it is difficult to determine the winner. So let's decide it according to the ancient method. If Daluo doesn't come out, the others can use their own methods, but they must fight with courtesy. Whoever survives in the end is right." The Queen Mother looked at the people on her left and right and smiled.

"Okay, that's it." Buddha Dipankara nodded. This was the only way for now.

In a conventional fight, Daluo does not take action and controls the situation. Then, under Daluo, there is no limit on the number and the number of wins.

A duel with courtesy means that everyone fights and follows the rules.

I am going to set up a formation, and you cannot destroy it in advance. You have to wait until I finish setting up the formation, and then you can break it.

Similar to the etiquette of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, attacking the enemy when they are halfway across the river would be ridiculed.

It is one of the most common methods used by powerful people like them in the immortal world to resolve disputes.

Ji Ren has only condensed a Taoist flower at the moment, and there are still people among the Golden Immortals who can compete with him.

"Okay." Master Xuandu spoke directly and agreed on behalf of Ji Ren.

This was originally the idea of ​​Master Xuandu.

If Daluo doesn't come out, let the creatures below Daluo fight.

Anyway, Ji Ren has no opponent at this level, so it's a good opportunity to hone his skills.

After reaching a temporary agreement, the four Buddhists did not stay long and left directly.

After leaving, Medicine Buddha looked at Dipankara Buddha and said, "Three-pointed double-edged sword, Avici sword, Precious Lotus Lamp, Wuji Xinghuang flag, I'm afraid there is no rival among the Golden Immortals. Who do you want to send?"

"You have forgotten that Dingguang Happy Buddha knows the method of Six Soul Banner, and the one who died this time was Juliusun's disciple. Juliusun is among the Golden Immortals, so how could he have an opponent? It is natural for the master to avenge his disciple, isn't it?" The Buddha of Burning Lamp said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Medicine Buddha also nodded.

He knew about the curse method of Dingguang Happy Buddha, which could harm even the Golden Immortal.

Needless to say, Ju Liusun has a solid foundation and powerful magic, and can be said to be half a step away from becoming a Daluo. With Ji Ren's current strength, he is no match for Ju Liusun.

Although we cannot really kill Ji Ren, defeating him is enough to save the face of Buddhism. (End of this chapter)
