Emperor Liu Hong

When the thing fell to the ground, there was a loud "coax", followed by a huge burst of fire and smoke.Seeing this situation, Liu Hong's guards immediately rushed to Liu Hong's body.

But before the guards could react, Yan Fodiao, clasped his hands, chanted Buddhist scriptures, walked out of the smoke with a holy face, and walked towards Zhang Jiao step by step.

At this time, the scene was completely silent, and everyone was staring at Yan Fodiao closely.Especially those who practice Taoism, they will look more carefully.Ordinary people don't know what Zhang Jiao is throwing out, but they know.That thing is definitely a sharp weapon in the monastic world.Its name is the "Pilizi" that has been passed down in later generations.

This thing is very powerful, in the world of cultivation, it can be regarded as a good thing for life-saving.Those who own it will never use it.But now, this Yan Fodiao has managed to accept this kind of thing unscathed.How can you say that those insiders are not surprised.

At this moment, Yan Fodiao had already walked up to Zhang Jiao.But at this time Zhang Jiao was standing there, stupidly, not moving at all.After Yan Fodiao stood still, he clasped his hands together, stretched out his left hand, and pressed it to the top of Zhang Jiao's head.But Zhang Jiao was still stupid, standing still.

"Master Zhang, put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately. If you don't realize it now, when will you wait?!"

As soon as Yan Fodiao finished speaking, Zhang Jiao first let out an exclamation, then knelt down on the ground, hugged Yan Fodiao's legs, and said bitterly, "Master, I was wrong, I was wrong. I would like to take refuge in my Buddha." , practice with the master."

"Amitabha, congratulations to Daoist Zhang for his enlightenment." Afterwards, Yan Fotiao said with a serious face: "Daoist Zhang wants to convert to my Buddha, please end the worldly cause and effect first."

"It's the master." He said.Zhang Jiao got up and came to Liu Hong and said, "Your Majesty, the villain established the sect but managed it laxly, causing many congregants to enshrine their family wealth to the sect, but they themselves have nothing. The villain can hardly be blamed for this. Now The villain voluntarily disbanded the sect, and compensated the property in the sect to those congregants. Since then, the villain has converted to my Buddha, recited scriptures every day, and atones for the villain’s mistakes. Please do it!"

"Although this occasion is not very formal, it is still a lawsuit." Liu Hong looked at Zhang Jiao and said, "Since it is a lawsuit, it must follow the procedures. How to judge and punish depends on how the jurors at the scene decide." How did you judge?"

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao gave a deep salute to everyone at the scene, and then said: "Zhang Jiao sincerely repents, and I hope everyone will be happy."

"Elder brother became a monk. Younger brother will also accompany you." At this time, Zhang Bao also stood up.Salute everyone. "Zhang Bao is willing to accompany elder brother to become a monk and repent together. Please help me."

Just watched such a performance, and the people at the scene felt that these two were considered to have real skills.Moreover, Zhang Jiao did not commit any major crimes. Now he is willing to disband the sect, compensate the congregants, and become a monk himself to show his repentance.This counts.It was much more severe than the punishment he should have received.Therefore, everyone at the scene agreed one after another.

"Made, the show is over." Seeing the common people agreed.Liu Hong let out a sigh of relief.

Except for the people expressing their opinions, all other situations were arranged in advance.Otherwise, how could an ordinary monk be able to withstand the fire and thunderbolt bombing with Yan Buddha? It was all done by Zhang Jiao's cooperation.The purpose of doing this is to enhance the reputation of Buddhism, so as to pave the way for the separation of Buddhism when the pope is elected next time.

Now the people agreed to Zhang Jue's request, Zhang Jue disbanded the Taiping Dao, and the two brothers became monks, so there was no threat at all.In this way, Liu Hong can safely save the lives of Brother Zhang Jiao.

However, Liu Hong said to Tian Feng, "Zhang Jiao disbanded the Taiping Dao, compensated the congregation with his property, and became a monk himself. Are you satisfied with this result?"

"Your Majesty, I am satisfied."

"Okay, since you are satisfied, then this lawsuit will come to an end." Then, Liu Hong said: "The lawsuit is over, but it's still early, so let's elect the Pope of Taoism by the way. In this way , he will be able to help the imperial court manage the Taoist sects of the world, and save things like Taipingdao from happening again."

"Your Majesty is right." At this time, Zhang Heng stood up, "Your Majesty, I think Master Yan Fodiao has profound Taoism, and it is most suitable for him to be the pope of this Taoism."

When the people below heard this, they also applauded.

At this time, Yan Fodiao spoke, "Your Majesty, what this young monk joins is Buddhism, and what he believes in is Buddha. It has nothing to do with Taoism, and he really cannot accept the position of Pope of Taoism."

"Aren't all sects in the world come from Taoism? Why do you say that your Buddhism has nothing to do with Taoism?" Liu Hong asked pretending not to know.

"That's right, the sects of the world are coming out of Taoism, you have to think about it before you talk about it." Those people in the cultivation world below said one after another.

"Your Majesty, monks don't lie. Our Buddhism really has nothing to do with Taoism." Yan Fodiao then explained to everyone: "Taoism believes in the Yellow Emperor and Laozi, so it is also called Huang Laodao. But our Buddhism, What we believe in is the Buddha Sakyamuni. Therefore, we are two different sects and have no relationship."

As soon as Yan Fodiao finished speaking, Zhang Heng said, "Even if Buddhism is different from Taoism, if you come to Dahan, you will be under the management of Taoism. Therefore, this has nothing to do with the selection of the Pope."

"That's right, Buddhism should be governed by Taoism." Other monks also echoed.

"Your Majesty, if the name is not right, the words will not go well. They are two irrelevant sects. How can one of them be governed by the other?" Yan Fo said in a serious tone: "We are Buddhists, but Emperor Ming personally sent people to I came to the west to seek it. And our current White Horse Temple was built by Ming Emperor himself. If Taoism is allowed to overwhelm Buddhism, isn't it disrespectful to Ming Emperor and his old man!"

After hearing that Yan Fodiao moved Emperor Ming out, no one else dared to speak.At this time, Liu Hong said: "Since it is a sect recognized by my ancestors, it should be listed alongside Taoism. This time we will elect two popes, one to manage Taoism and the other to manage Buddhism."

Once Liu Hong finished speaking, those cultivators looked at Yan Fodiao's eyes completely differently.They all stared at him, wishing they could eat him like that.

"Well, yes, the contradiction between the two religions has been successfully established."

Next, of course, according to the prior agreement, Yan Fodiao was elected as the living Buddha of Buddhism, and Zhang Heng became the pope of Taoism.The matter came to an end, and before Liu Hong could catch his breath, someone came to report that the chief of Sanhan sneaked away while the people in the station were not paying attention.
