"You..." Monk Xuanyi was suddenly speechless.
"Amitabha......!"
Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, the old man called out the Buddha's name again and said: "Everyone, please be patient. Donor Cheng, you are a disciple of the Taoist sect no matter what. What is your purpose in coming to my meditation mountain today?"
Cheng Ling glanced around and said, "Senior must be Master Kongji from Zending Mountain. I haven't asked the others yet..."
Kong Ji nodded slightly, no matter what, the other party was a guest from afar, and with the Buddhist verses he said before, he couldn't be too negligent. He then introduced: "This is Master Xianhui of Fanhua Temple. Behind her is Master Mingzhi and two distinguished disciples, Qingya and Qingyi."
Cheng Ling smiled and nodded and said, "I've met Master Tai."
Unexpectedly, Master Xianhui stood up and said: "I haven't seen you for hundreds of years. Cheng Xianyou has been promoted to the Seven-Star Immortal Emperor in one fell swoop. What a joy to congratulate! Here, I would also like to thank you for your help in the past."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingya and Qingyi hurriedly walked up, looked up and down and then said: "Brother Cheng, I didn't expect that your cultivation has improved so fast. Now that I see you safe and sound,??????????" ??????We are relieved.”
Cheng Ling smiled and replied: "Okay, you have improved very quickly over the past few years."
Master Mingzhi stood there, frowning slightly, as if she was impatient with the enthusiasm of the three people. Seeing her like this, Cheng Ling knew that this woman had deep intentions, and did not want to involve too much, so she immediately ignored it.
Everyone was stunned, seeing this situation, Master Xianhui and Cheng Ling had known each other for a long time. Shouldn't it? One of them is the sect leader of the No. 1 Holy Land in Buddhism, and the other is a disciple of the Taoist sect. It is difficult for the two to interact with each other. Besides, as we all know, Fanhua Temple is a women's sect. How could they allow their disciples to get acquainted with Cheng Ling? There is something strange about this matter.
Master Kongji was confused, but it was difficult to ask for a while. After Cheng Ling finished speaking, he turned to the noble middle-aged man on the right and said: "This is His Excellency Shitian, the Emperor of the Broken Leaf Buddha Kingdom. "
Emperor Shitian's eyes turned cold and he said in a cold voice: "Cheng Ling, you humiliated Jinnara Buddha and killed many disciples of Tianbu and Longbu. The emperor will have to settle this account with you."
The number of monks who came to Broken Leaf Buddha Kingdom this time was the largest. Behind Emperor Shitian, nearly a hundred monks were standing. They all looked at Cheng Ling with unkind expressions and looked bitter and resentful.
Cheng Ling narrowed his eyes and said nothing. He knew that Emperor Shaktian was just a title, which generally referred to the highest authority in the Broken Leaf Buddha Kingdom, also known as the Emperor of Heaven. His full name was Shaktihuan Indra, or Indra for short, which was translated as the Nengtian Emperor.
As for their attitude towards themselves, they didn't take it seriously. Anyway, the matter was already done and there was no way to mediate it. They just had to find some means to let it go.
When Kongji saw the appearance of both parties, he was well aware of it, so he ignored it at the moment, pointed to the great monk on the second chair on the left and said: "This is the Bodhi Buddha of Bodhi Temple."
Bodhi Buddha snorted coldly and said: "Cheng Ling, no matter what the relationship between you and Jiang Haoyang is, my Bodhi Temple's ten thousand year foundation has been destroyed in one day, and this revenge must be avenged!"
"That's right! A teacher pays his debt, and there's no way he can leave safely this time." More than a dozen bald monks behind him also shouted angrily.
Cheng Ling felt bitter in her heart, Jiang Haoyang was really good at finding trouble, and if you had to do it, you had to do it neatly. The few great monks left behind seemed to have very good cultivation, all at the Immortal Emperor level. It's just helpless, no matter how hard I explain, others won't accept it, so I can only take the blame for him. Next are the sect leaders of the three first-class forces in Buddhism, namely Ten Thousand Buddhas of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, Master Xuanfa of Fahua Temple, and Lingxuzi of Fanjingshan.
Relatively speaking, these three first-rate forces had no grudges against him. However, Buddhism and Taoism had long-standing grievances, and there was not much enthusiasm. They just nodded and they knew each other.
After the introduction was completed, Cheng Ling bowed his hands and walked around in a circle before saying: "I know that my appearance is a surprise to everyone, but it has to be done for the sake of the justice of the immortal world."
"You are so shameless in talking about the righteousness of the immortal world. I am afraid it is another conspiracy of your Taoist sect!" Emperor Shitian said impatiently.
Cheng Ling frowned and ignored Emperor Shitian's accusation, but said directly: "In the past few hundred years, many changes have occurred in the immortal world. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has been going on for a long time. I will not mention it for now, but those outside the realm The race wants to get involved in the fairy world, this desperate plan is unacceptable, do you think it is true?"
His words represent two levels of meaning. The first level is: The fairy world is our territory. It is okay for our own people to fight life and death in it and rob us of resources. But now that outsiders want to come to our home to rob things, it is intolerable.
There is another layer: Although Buddhism and Taoism have a long history of grievances, in my heart, Cheng Ling, I have tacitly accepted that Buddhism is also the master of the immortal world.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall suddenly fell into deep thought. The ravages of extraterrestrial races to the Immortal Realm are not limited to the Taoist sect. Many are also found in the Buddhist sect, which also gives headaches to several major sect masters. Especially Broken Leaf Buddha Kingdom and Bodhi Temple, they had suffered heavy losses, even the mountain gate was destroyed, leaving a small number of elites to survive, and they were invaded by races from outside the territory, and their lives were miserable.
While hesitating, Master Xianhui took the lead and said, "Young Master Cheng's words hit the nail on the head. This sect also feels that the first priority is to expel those extraterrestrial races."
Cheng Ling smiled slightly at Master Xianhui and expressed his gratitude.
It would be easy to say if someone took the lead. Wanfo Zun, Master Xuanfa, and Lingxuzi also said: "Master Kongji, although this person is in the Taoist sect, what he said does make some sense."
"Bah!" Emperor Shitian said angrily: "What nonsense, who do you think he is? The master of the Taoist sect? Can what he said represent the entire Taoist sect? Even if it is possible, are we allowed to hang out with those sanctimonious guys? ?”
Bodhi Buddha also said: "Yes, what qualifications does a mere Seven-Star Immortal Emperor have to represent the entire Taoist sect? Threats from foreign races do exist, but our Buddhist sect is not made up of mud. As the saying goes, soldiers will block it, and water will flood the soil. This is the matter of Buddhism. There is no need for Taoist disciples to come and make a statement."
Cheng Ling shook his head and said: "The master is so solemn, but why is he so short-sighted? Cheng came here not to persuade Buddhism and Taoism to put down their past grudges, but just to suspend the war at this critical moment. Buddhism and Taoism do not interfere with each other, but also Don’t start another dispute, reduce unnecessary consumption, and wait until all the extraterritorial races are annihilated.”
】
Bodhi Buddha was not so easy to fool, and said coldly: "As far as I know, there are many more extraterritorial races in the Taoist sect than in the Buddhist sect. Coupled with the ambitions of the demon clan, the sea clan, the demons and Jiang Haoyang, there is internal discord. , why don’t we, the Buddha Sect, use the power of extraterrestrial races to break through the bloody wasteland in one fell swoop.”
Cheng Ling's heart sank. Bodhi Temple was indeed one of the four superpowers of Buddhism. The mountain gate was destroyed, but the intelligence network was still pervasive. The situation on the Taoist side was clearly understood.
He then said: "The demons have retreated, and the demon clan has also made an alliance with me. As for the sea clan, they are just fools and can't make any big waves."
"The master wants to lead Buddhism out of the bloody wasteland, but he doesn't know that if he kills a thousand enemies and loses eight hundred, the resistance of the Taoist sect will become more intense, and the most proud ones will be the races from outside the territory."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall fell silent again.
The Fox Queen who was standing aside couldn't help it. She didn't want to care about the grievances between the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, so she immediately said: "I don't care about Taoism or Buddhism, Kongji, release Huixuan!"
"Amitabha..., donor, it's not that we don't want to, it's that we can't!"
"Why?" The Fox Queen's pretty face turned cold, and she said solemnly: "If not, I don't mind going on a killing spree."
"How dare you, a mere fox demon, really think that there is no one in Zending Mountain?" Before Kong Ji could speak, the disciples behind him were already making noises.
Kong Ji stretched out his hand to stop the disciple's scolding, and said calmly: "Senior nephew Hui Xuan has committed a serious crime and was punished to kill the lowest level of the Immortal Cliff for ten thousand years. That place is not an easy place. Even our sect dare not enter easily. Besides, Qinglianxu The realm is about to open, but you can’t enter it.”
"What do you mean?" the Fox Queen asked confused.
"The donor doesn't know something. The Immortal Killing Cliff was originally an innate fairy treasure and the key to unlocking the Green Lotus Void Realm. It will last less than 10,000 years unless Only by breaking through the thirty-six virtual realms can we bring it out."
There are also levels of treasures. From mortal to immortal, they are treasures, spiritual weapons, immortal weapons, sacred weapons, and above that are acquired immortal treasures, innate immortal treasures and so on. Most of the innate fairy treasures are ancient treasures left over from ancient times. They are extremely powerful and cannot be controlled by ordinary people.
As an innate fairy treasure, the interior of the Immortal Killing Cliff is naturally very dangerous and dangerous. Even the void is uncertain. The Fox Queen naturally has to weigh it. Her expression paused and she murmured: "The innate fairy treasure... Does it mean we have to wait ten thousand years?"
"That's not the case!" Di Shitian said calmly: "The opening of the Green Lotus Void Realm is an opportunity. As long as you can break through the Thirty-six Void Realms, you may be able to rescue the person you want to see."
"Oh, you mean I can also enter the Green Lotus Void Realm?" The Fox Queen perked up and stared at Master Kongji and asked.
"Amitabha...Buddha is destined to cross over. Moreover, in the eyes of Buddha, all living beings are equal. Regardless of Buddhism, Taoism, demons or demons, as long as you have this idea, you can enter." After saying that, he looked at Cheng meaningfully. Ling glanced.
Cheng Ling's heart thumped, and he instinctively felt something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't tell what was wrong.
A glimmer of hope ignited in the Fox Queen's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, for him, I am willing to enter the thirty-six virtual realms."
"No!" As soon as she finished speaking, Qingya couldn't help but said: "Brother Cheng, although the number of people entering the Qinglian Virtual Realm is not restricted, it is said that the environment inside is very strange. It seems that only Buddhist disciples can adapt to it, and other Taoist sects can also adapt to it. For monks other than the human race, the difficulty will increase several times after entering, and it can be said that they are murderous at every step!"
"Presumptuous! They have their own plans whether they should enter or not. There are many seniors here, how can you be qualified to speak." Master Mingzhi could no longer bear it and scolded in displeasure.
Master Xianhui glanced at Qingya, her lips moved, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't.
Cheng Ling was moved, but the situation in front of him was already difficult to get out of. Moreover, the Green Lotus Virtual Realm is the most powerful secret realm in Buddhism. If it can be cleared, prestige will be established invisibly, and communication with the major forces in the Buddhist sect will be much easier, and the ultimate goal may be achieved.
