Why?
Ksitigarbha now wants to ask, why?
Why did my Reincarnation Tower become the place where the Taoist sect held the conference of the three religions? Not even half a greeting to him, the main character of the Samsara Tower!
It’s so casual, so natural, so unthinking!
Ksitigarbha has been waiting, waiting for the immortals from the two sects of Taoism and Interception to come together, then he will stand up and shout to them:
'Get out of my house Reincarnation Tower! ’
Of course, this is what I think from the bottom of my heart, and it would be disrespectful to shout it out.
When the time comes, I will say, ‘Non-righteous gods of the Heavenly Dao sequence are allowed to enter the Tower of Reincarnation’, which will be reasonable and convincing, and it will also slap the faces of the Taoist immortals in a moderate way.
It is pleasant to think about.
Therefore, Ksitigarbha has been patiently waiting. When inside the Samsara Tower, Taoist immortals stood in separate areas. Chanjiao tried his best to summon hundreds of disciples, while Jiejiao advised not to come too many. In the end, thousands of immortals gathered...
Li Changshou didn't show up for a long time, saying that he went to find the whereabouts of the red lotus in the sea of blood;
The most critical 'lubricant' was missing here. , the atmosphere on both sides gradually became tense...
Finally.
Everyone has calmed down? No new immortals have come?
Great, now!
Ksitigarbha's eyes narrowed, and he took advantage of Di Ting's unpreparedness, lightly tapping Di Ting's forehead with a finger, temporarily sealing Di Ting's mouth.
"Everyone!"
Ksitigarbha stood up slowly, with a confident smile on his lips and stars in his eyes.
"You..."
Trembling, his throat was trembling slightly.
Ksitigarbha was suddenly frightened. He suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure, coming from the overwhelming crowd in front of him, which made his Taoist heart almost freeze!
This, this is such a tyrannical pressure...
Look at Chanjiao!
The bell-beating immortal sits in the first place, and the twelve golden immortals are at peace with each other.
All of you are blessed with blessings, and the Tao inherits the purity of the jade, the dharma and the righteousness.
Look at Jie Jiao again!
The prestigious disciples are accompanying them, and they should not wait to serve the great immortal.
Three thousand Taoists listen to the great road, and hold a glimmer of life in their hands.
At this moment, due to Ksitigarbha’s two shouts, all the Taoist immortals looked at this temporarily opened mustard seed world, and their eyes converged into a torrent, making Ksitigarbha so powerful. The protector of the power of heaven almost collapsed!
This situation seems to be explaining the hard truth of "when there are many people, you can do whatever you want".
The word "Taomen" seemed to appear on the top of the Samsara Tower, and Ksitigarbha's heart came to mind. When he first became a disciple, the two teachers sighed one after another.
Taomen is too tyrannical.
Taoist Duobao smiled and said: "This... Pagoda Master, what advice do you have?"
Ksitigarbha forced a smile and said loudly, neither humble nor arrogant:
p>
“This place is the second reincarnation, a place of heavenly protection. Please don’t make any noise and pay attention to the cleanliness of the place! "
Well, the majesty of the tower master!
"Please remind me," Taoist Duobao replied with a smile, and the immortals looked back with some boredom.
Ksitigarbha nodded, silently sat back next to Titing, and unblocked Titing. Unconsciously, his back was soaked.
Titing buried his head in his paws and flicked his long tail.
Chi Jing asked warmly: "Junior brother Chang Geng hasn't come back yet?" "
Bai Ze, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up in time.
At this time, Bai Ze had changed into a black robe, and his goatee was trimmed more neatly. He faced The two sides bowed and said with a smile: "The Water God is coming back soon. He has figured out a way to find the red lotus. He should have good news for you when he comes back. ”
At this time, Li Changshou’s body was actually hiding nearby because it was covered by the Tai Chi diagram;
Bai Ze’s words were a foreshadowing in advance, leading him to go smoothly. Appearance.
Sure enough, as soon as Bai Ze finished speaking, the Jie Jiao immortals suddenly became excited;
Most of the Chan Jiao immortals were calm, and a few looked worried. < /p>
At this moment, a sigh resounded from the top of the Reincarnation Tower, and the white-haired and white-robed figure of Li Changshou appeared at the entrance of the stairs, entering the Mustard Seed Universe.
"Junior Brother Chang Geng! ”
“Chang Geng is here! "
"Chang Geng, have you found the red lotus? "
Li Changshou held Fuchen, raised his hands, and said loudly:
"Brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, listen to what I have to say!
I only found traces of Honglian, but it is possible that there was a trap deliberately set by someone. I failed to detect it clearly, so I returned to join you all.
According to my expectation, the red lotus has not yet come into being. We are now guarding the edge of the sea of blood, and we will not let others take away the red lotus! ”
With such words, Li Changshou had already walked to the area between the immortals of the two sects, and paid homage to Guangchengzi and Duobao Taoist priests, calling him senior brother.
The two senior brothers also stood up and returned the courtesy, giving Li Changshou face.
At this time, many immortals looked at Li Changshou's empty back...
Of course they were not looking at him.
When immortals from the two sects came one after another, the heavenly soldiers and generals brought a large number of seats and futons. At that time, there were rows of stone chairs on the left and right sides of Li Changgen, which were already full.
Master Taiyi smiled and said, "Junior brother Chang Geng, come and sit here? It's a bit stuffy here, so Pindao just needs to go out and get some fresh air. "
"Brother-in-law, come to my place! "
Qiong Xiao immediately fired back and gave up the seat behind him, "I'll just stand. ”
Li Changshou suddenly showed...an awkward yet polite smile..
Of course, he still has to pursue the previous strategy - staying in the middle, but not taking the seat.
Guang Chengzi suddenly spoke up, pointed at the seat between him and Duobao, and said with a smile:
"Chang Geng, although you started a little later, today you have full authority to represent the People's Education. There is also an order from the great master.
Today we may have some disagreements between the two religions, and a mediator is needed.
It is better to sit here. "
Guangchengzi looked at Taoist Duobao with a smile and asked, "What do you think, junior brother?"
"Good, great!"
Taoist Duobao took a photo. He patted his belly, feeling confident and calm.
Li Changshou frowned secretly, thinking about his next plan and immediately rejecting such a seemingly good proposal.
The higher you are praised, the more miserable you will be when you fall;
I am not strong enough and my cultivation level is barely above average in the field. I must be grateful for this. Half of the immortals have pulled down the average line.
If he is truly on an equal footing with the two great brothers, it would be in four words - virtue is not worthy of his place.
Unstable paths are desirable. < /p>
Although the teacher ordered me to take charge of the teaching affairs, our People's Education only has six hills and a few courtyards.
For such a big event, it is still up to two senior brothers to make the decision, so I will move it. Futon, sit here and make suggestions, what do the two senior brothers think?"
Guang Chengzi smiled and said: "Just come and sit, who doesn't know that Chang Geng is good at planning?"
< p>"That's right," Taoist Duobao urged, "You sit in the middle, who is dissatisfied?""Two senior brothers, this is absolutely impossible!"
Li Changshougang When I wanted to reason, set up routines, and talk about feelings, a voice suddenly came from behind me:
"Let's see who is bullying Chang Geng."
All the immortals followed the sound and looked. , but saw behind Li Changshou, a Yin-Yang Pisces picture came from someone unknown, and when it appeared, and Youdao's figure slowly walked out of it.
This is a man of eight feet, with long hair hanging freely, eyebrows that are not sharp, and a slightly ordinary face that is quite attractive;
He is wearing a blue robe and has two feet. Black-soled boots with white patterns, just a chuckle or a joke can make people feel at peace.
When the immortal Chanjiao saw this person, Guangchengzi immediately bowed and saluted, and all the immortals bowed their heads.
When Immortal Jiejiao saw this person, there was some noise, but Taoist Duobao coughed, and everything around him became quiet. The three thousand Immortals also bowed their heads and saluted with untidy movements. .
The immortals shouted out and merged into one sentence:
"Greetings, Senior Brother."
Although it was a bit messy and the lingering sounds came and went, you could still hear it. Full of respect.
Xuandu, Master!
Li Changshou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his waist straightened unconsciously, "Senior brother!"
The master blinked and nodded with a smile.
Besides, the golden-winged roc picked up a stone chair and placed it smoothly in the middle of the seats where Guangchengzi and Taoist Duobao were sitting.
Master ** waved his hands, looked around, and sighed with a smile:
"A lotus flower has caused the Taoist sect to be in chaos and made all the junior brothers and sisters so anxious. Why?
Why?
p>
Where is the spirit of the great religion?
Where is the purity of the Taoism? ”
Many of the immortals in the two sects were ashamed and did not dare to look at each other. .
Master ** stepped forward, sat on the stone chair in the middle, and motioned to Duobao, Guangchengzi, and the immortals of the two religions to sit down together.
Li Changshou retreated to the corner. , looked at each other with Bai Ze and Qing Niu.
Bai Ze gave Li Changshou a puzzled look, and Li Changshou gave Bai Ze a firm look in return. Bai Ze thought for a moment and gradually smiled.
‘Have everything been arranged? ’
‘Don’t worry, everything has been arranged. '
Just listen to the scene...
Guang Chengzi asked: "Brother Xuandu, has the war in Xuandu City been stable recently?"
"I'm fine for the time being. ”
Master Xuandu said leisurely: “Chang Geng also shouted at me very urgently this time. He said that the two sects were about to fight over a red lotus, so I had to rush back. , see if you can help mediate.
As far as I know, the brothers and sisters of Jiejiao want this red lotus to suppress the fate of the religion, and the brothers and sisters of Chanjiao think that this red lotus is a karma in the world. The gathering will lead to disaster.
But this?"
Taoist Duobao said seriously: "That's true," Guang said. Chengzi continued, "The Twelve-Rank Karma Red Lotus is originally related to the Ancestor Minghe. Don't let this evil person take advantage of it."
Just when Taoist Duobao was about to refute, Master Xuandu But he raised his hand to stop it.
**Master asked: "Do you have any orders from the two uncles?"
Taoist Duobao and Guangchengzi stopped talking at the same time, each sitting on a stone chair and remaining silent.
"Alas," the master sighed, "the two uncles didn't say how to deal with it, so you just gathered all the junior brothers and sisters here...
Why are you so anxious? "How do you know this is not a plan?"
Taoist Duobao said with a smile: "This is what Senior Brother taught me.
It's just that the catastrophe is coming, and there is nothing I can do to teach you." I am a little worried about the treasure that suppresses luck...
Please help me, senior brother!"
Guangchengzi frowned and said: "The red lotus is formed by the accumulation of karma. How can we use this treasure to suppress the teaching luck?"
Taoist Duobao refused to give in: "The twelve-grade red lotus is just like the twelve-grade golden lotus. How can it not suppress the teaching luck?"
"Not bad!"
A Jiejiao Immortal stood up and said loudly: "Twelve-grade Red Lotus Book"Just in ancient times, the fate of the Shura clan was suppressed!
We don’t have many plans for teaching, we just want to suffer less damage during the great tribulation, that’s all, we don’t have any intention to explain the teaching! "
On the Chantiao side, some immortals immediately stood up and replied: "Ignore the others, just to teach so many disciples of the saint, I'm afraid this Red Lotus can't suppress it, right? "
A famous female fairy with a hot temper yelled: "Why do you speak so unpleasantly?
I am united as a disciple, and we are brothers and sisters. What we lack is the treasure of suppressing luck! "
"The red lotus harms the harmony of heaven and is not tolerated by heaven. How can we make it appear in the world smoothly, and how can we use it to suppress the religious movement?
This, this is against the rules! ”
“How can treasures be good or bad? How can supernatural powers distinguish good from evil? ”
“Not bad!
Chanjiao is eager to disrupt me today. Could it be that he wants to see my jokes?
Still thinking, let us Jie Jiao Immortal die more during the great tribulation, and help you explain the teaching to fill the tribulation? "
"We are all Taoist disciples, why should we argue like this? "
"Bah! I have long disliked you, and I will do so today! ”
Buzz——
A black and white halo erupted from around the master, washing everywhere like waves, turning the conflict between the two religions that was about to break out into chaos. , pressed back forcefully, causing the top floor of the Samsara Tower to fall into silence again.
The master smiled and said, "Where is Chang Geng hiding? It's your turn to take action. "
"Brother, I'm here! "
Li Changshou agreed from the corner and stepped out.
The master's smile gradually faded and he said coldly: "I just had an argument and kept getting angry." Did you remember the person? ”
Li Changshou said loudly: “I have recorded it all! "
"After a detailed investigation, it was found that there may be spies planted by Western religions. ”
Master Xuandu said calmly, his face was calm and powerful, making most of the immortals here tremble.
Following that, Master Xuan’s figure leaned against him. On the back of the chair, a relaxed voice spread everywhere:
"The three Taoist religions are originally one family.
Chanjiao, Jiejiao, and Renjiao each have different doctrines. The two uncles did have several disputes about accepting disciples, but they never had any opposition.
Why are the junior brothers and sisters so tit-for-tat today?
Ask yourselves, are you worthy of the word Tao above your head? "
All the immortals were silent for a while.
Seeing that he had subdued the whole audience, Master ** kicked out the dominant position.
"Chang Geng, let's talk What you see about Red Lotus. "
"Respecting my brother's order, please fellow cultivators listen to my words! "
Li Changshou bowed in all directions, took two steps forward with a fly whisk, and said loudly: "Today, I will not talk about Western teachings, just because of that Everyone should have known the face of Western religionClearly!
Today, I will not elaborate on how the two religions should coexist peacefully. A great catastrophe is ahead and the number of the catastrophe is yet to be determined. No one knows what will happen after the six saints from Zixiao Palace gather together.
However, it would be too ridiculous if Chanjiao and Jiejiao were to fight just because of this red lotus.
If there really was a fight just now, whose heart was it and whose will was it?
Whose relatives, friends, and Taoist fellow disciples were damaged?
At this time, we are in the midst of a great tribulation. How can you judge whether you have been affected by the tribulation at this time?
With all the passion and shouting to sacrifice one’s life for the religion, in the end it was just turned into ashes, damaging one’s own destiny as a great religion, and ruining the destiny of the Taoist sect!
Do you want this red lotus to be an opportunity for the Taoist sect to turn from prosperity to decline? "
The immortals were silent.
Zhenren Taiyi sighed: "What a pity, looking at the current situation, there will be a battle sooner or later. ”
Li Changshou said firmly: “Then we must prioritize and know why we are fighting!” "
Zhao Gongming, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but speak out at this moment: "What exactly did Chang Geng say? ”
“Brother, don’t worry, today I will say a few words bluntly, neither hiding nor hiding, I will speak clearly. ”
Li Changshou’s eyes flashed with divine light, and the shadow of Tai Chi appeared behind him, and he took two steps forward again;
Although his voice was gentle, it contained an extraordinary power. Pressure.
“Let me first talk about two points that our three Taoist religions must follow.
The first point is that before several saints from Zixiao Palace discuss how to determine the catastrophe, we must not have civil strife!
If the three teachers tried their best to fight for our lives, but we had suffered a bloody blow before that, what could we say?
The second point!
Even if the sage master fails to resolve the catastrophe after the Zixiao Palace, and the three Taoist sects must weaken the power of living beings, you and I must also ensure that we can simultaneously weaken the strength of the great sects outside the Taoist sect.
How can the three teachers wish to see you and me in civil strife?
Would you like to see a conflict between interpretations and interpretations, and ultimately allow Western teachings to gain the advantage of others?
When the catastrophe breaks out, let alone the three sects working together, let the Jie Jiao, who has the most immortals, attack the Western Sect alone, while the Chan Sect and the Human Sect wait by and let the Jie Jiao eliminate those who need to be cut off. If the enemy is sent to usher in a calamity, shouldn't our Taoist sect lose a few lives?
This is the truth. If any fellow disciple is dissatisfied and feels something is wrong, the human teaching is willing to mediate between them as a guarantee.
But today!
If someone later stands up and says, 'What is wrong with Western teachings?' Debut! "
Li Changshou's last few words were loud and powerful. All the Taoist immortals nodded in unison, and several people couldn't help but sweat broke out on their foreheads.
In the corner, Ksitigarbha hummed:
"The Water God is really powerful. In order to alleviate the conflicts within the Taoist sect, he has set up the Western religion as a target."
Li Changshou said: "Fellow Taoist, if you say one more thing, I will ask the senior brother to use the move on you." The method of the soul, let you personally tell all the details of the Western Calculation Sect in recent years
You and I have been competing for the great fortune of heaven and earth, and our positions are opposite. Now that the catastrophe has fallen, it is time to talk about it. We should also speak out, lest there are those in our sect who don’t know the evil of the West and are soft-hearted and take advantage of Western teachings.”
Ksitigarbha snorted, but remained silent.
Li Changshou shook his head and continued loudly:
"I will tell you three things that are strange about the Red Lotus matter.
First, The timing of this thing's appearance is quite subtle.
The red lotus seeds never come out sooner or later, but they appear in the sea of blood when such a catastrophe comes, and the news is delivered almost at the same time. It has reached the ears of the two sects of Chanjie."
Li Changshou turned to look at the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao, stared at Guangchengzi, cupped his hands and said:
"Senior Brother Guangchengzi, of Chanjiao. Someone in Zhongding is lobbying, if Jie Jiao is allowed to obtain the red lotus, how can Chan Jiao fight against Jie Jiao during the great calamity?
Senior Brother, you don’t need to say who it is, if you have heard such words? Words, just nod."
"Yes," Guang Chengzi agreed, then closed his eyes to rest.
Li Changshou looked at Taoist Duobao again, cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Duobao, has anyone in the Jiejiao family ever said that the red lotus is an evil treasure? How can we use this to suppress Tao Yun?" , but was refuted by others?
Similarly, senior brother, there is no need to say who refuted it. If you have heard such words in the past few days, just nod."
Taoist Duobao said slowly. Nodding, he also closed his eyes and meditated.
At the moment, the immortals Chanjiao and Jiejiao communicated with each other to discuss. They were more or less doubtful and began to reflect on whether they were being used by others.
In the corner, Bai Ze’s eyes were full of admiration, and he really wanted to praise him:
Water God, you are so quixotic.
Substantiating concepts is a commonly used method of sophistry, but there are really not many people who can use it as skillfully as Li Changshou.
A [First], just a few sentences, plus previous hints and foreshadowing, Li Changshou easily made 90% of the immortals in the room think that the reason why the two religions are in conflict today is Differences, conflicts almost erupted, purely because of instigation...
In this way, the fundamental contradiction between the two religions was temporarily covered up.
He also gave some reminders to the immortals of the two religions, telling them that there must be spies from the Western religion lurking within the two religions.
Duobao and Guangchengzi also understood this matter. They cooperated and remained silent, because they felt that Li Changshou's handling of the matter was in line with the current 'interests' of the two religions.
Li Changshou continued to guide thousands of immortals in the field...
"Secondly, a few years before us, the Western Sect began to search the sea of blood, sending thousands of Creatures.
This begs the question, are they?Have you found Honglian? Could it be that nothing was gained?
Western religion claims to be poor, and Western religion also has a particularly diligent saint who gets up early and runs around late at night, collecting all kinds of treasures.
Do you think that saint would let such a red lotus go? "
All the immortals shook their heads.
Li Changshou said again: "The ability of a saint and the unpredictable ghosts and gods can naturally find the location of the red lotus. There are only two kinds at this time. possible.
First, Western teachings teach that saints cannot take away the red lotus. There are arrangements there that even saints are afraid of.
The second is that Western religious saints took away or deliberately left the red lotus behind, and made various calculations.
How can we be careless under such circumstances? "
The immortals nodded one after another.
Even a clever fairy like Qiong Xiao felt that what Li Changshou said was completely correct.
" Third, if this red lotus was controlled by Ancestor Styx and used for his resurrection, why didn't Ancestor Styx remind the Shura clan to prepare in advance?
So that today’s Shura tribe is like headless flies, anxiously circling in the sea of blood?
If you think about it carefully, there are traps and schemes everywhere. "
"What Chang Geng said is true," Taoist Duobao sighed, "This time, we really failed to consider it. "
Guang Chengzi also opened his eyes and said slowly: "I was in danger of being plotted by others. Fortunately, Chang Geng was alert and warned in time. "
Li Changshou:...
These senior brothers are all pretending to be confused while pretending to understand!
Explaining the teachings, Master Yuding He asked in a deep voice: "Chang Geng, how should we solve today's situation? "
"Senior Brother Yuding, don't worry, I have a case against you. "
Li Changshou took out a scroll from his sleeve, raised it above his head with one hand, and shook the scroll open. Inside was a line of neat small characters.
"I, Daomen Disciple Li Changgeng initiated something today!
From today onwards, until the six saints of Zixiao Palace discuss the catastrophe, the three sects of Ren, Chan and Jie will not have any dispute!
If you agree, sign this no-fight agreement here!
Hopefully, the three religions will prosper!
May the Taoism Sect never decline! ”
