Taishang Laojun established Buddhism in the West, directly replaced Tao Jiang, and swallowed up the Western religion.
If the Second Sage of the West had not convinced Taoist Duobao to side with the West, there would be no West now. The so-called Buddhism has also become a branch of Taoism.
Sage Taiqing used Buddhism to plot against the two Western sages, and almost destroyed Western religion, which shows how powerful he is. Sage Taiqing was similar to Jiang Chen in that he always made several preparations.
If the first plan failed, he immediately made another plan. To plot against the Second Saint of the West by resurrecting Patriarch Hongyun in this way is completely the style of Saint Taiqing.
Apart from Saint Taiqing, Jiang Chen could not think of anyone else in the ancient world who would plot against the Two Saints of the West without leaving any room.
Don't look at the fact that Saint Taiqing met the Second Saint of the West on a regular basis, talking and laughing, and you would think that the relationship between the two parties was very good. In fact, what Taiqing Sage hated the most was the Second Sage of the West.
Even Jiang Chen, in the heart of Taiqing Saint, was ranked behind the two Western Saints.
As for why Taiqing Saint hated the two Western Saints so much, it had something to do with the fact that the two rebelled against Xuanmen and established another sect.
Although in ancient times, or even earlier times, the Second Sage of the West had signs of establishing another branch. But that was just a sign, and the two of them did not take action.
It was after the end of the ancient God-conferring War that Western Ersheng completely rebelled against Xuanmen and established another sect in the west, establishing Shamen, which was the predecessor of Buddhism.
At that time, it was Saint Taiqing who was in charge of Xuanmen. During the period when he was in charge of Xuanmen, he did not achieve even an inch of success, yet such a big thing happened.
The two saints carried a large amount of Xuanmen's luck and established a separate sect, and they became enemies of Xuanmen. It must be said that this incident was an extremely heavy blow to the majesty of Saint Taiqing.
If he hadn't been strong enough and noble enough, this incident would have been enough for him to lose his position as the acting head of the Xuan Sect.
Due to the identity of Saint Taiqing, the rest of the Xuanmen could not discuss the matter openly, but they were inevitably dissatisfied secretly, thinking that Saint Taiqing was not capable enough, which caused huge losses to Xuanmen.
Because of this incident, Saint Taiqing deeply hated the two saints of the West, and regarded this incident as the greatest humiliation in his life. He dreamed of taking back the West to restore his majesty.
The Two Saints of the West caused such great humiliation to Saint Taiqing, how could Saint Taiqing not hate them?
On the surface, he was chatting and laughing with them, and there was no abnormality. But behind his back, he was plotting one after another, and each one was more vicious than the other, all aimed at the destiny of the Second Saint of the West.
First, he wanted to destroy the Western Sect, and then he resurrected Patriarch Hongyun. Both of these things could be said to poke at the weakness of the Second Saint of the West.
"This is trouble. The Second Sage of the West will be in trouble this time. Sage Taiqing's calculations are still as powerful as ever."
After guessing that the person behind the scenes was Saint Taiqing, Jiang Chen looked at the Second Saint of the West with a hint of pity. It's so unlucky. This time, it can be said that their destiny is controlled by Saint Taiqing.
If the Two Saints of the West follow the original plan and still support Patriarch Hongyun as the Lord of the Buddha Realm, they will indeed be able to repay the cause and effect of giving up his seat that day. But in this case, the Buddhist world has nothing to do with them.
Since the Second Sage of the West made Patriarch Hongyun the Lord of the Buddhist Realm in order to repay the karma of the past, Hongyun does not owe them anything. After becoming the master of the Buddhist world, naturally there is no need to listen to their orders.
On the contrary, his own resurrection was entirely due to the help of Saint Taiqing, so that in order to repay the grace of saving his life, Patriarch Hongyun had to obey Saint Taiqing's orders.
Calculated in this way, if the Second Sage of the West continues to let Patriarch Hongyun serve as the master of the Buddhist world, it will be equivalent to handing over the Buddhist world that he has worked so hard to open up to Taiqing Sage.
This loss is not a big one, it is equivalent to giving away half of the foundation.
The current foundation of Buddhism, half of which is Mount Sumeru, is now in Jiang Chen's hands. The other half is the newly opened Buddhist world, which is currently ownerless. Whoever masters the Buddhist world is equivalent to mastering half of the foundation of Buddhism and even the future.
Therefore, even though the Two Saints of the West have been involved in Buddhist affairs for many years, they still attach great importance to the Buddhist world and would not hesitate to fight for it personally.
According to their original idea, the two of them would resurrect the Hongyun ancestor and help him ascend to the position of Hunyuan.
In the heart of Hongyun Ancestor, no matter how dissatisfied he was with them because they did not come to rescue him back then, he would not show it after receiving such a great favor from them.
On the contrary, in order to compete with Jiang Chen and secure his position as the master of the Buddhist world, he had to move closer to them and unite closely with them.
In this way, the Second Sage of the West not only returned the favor, but also allowed Patriarch Hongyun to restrain Jiang Chen so that he could not turn Buddhism into his own Yiyantang. It could be said to be a double win.
It is a pity that although the Second Sage of the West had good ideas, they were not as fast as Saint Taiqing. He had already resurrected Patriarch Hongyun in advance, making all the ideas of the Second Sage of the West come to nothing.
…
What Jiang Chen can figure out, the Second Sage of the West can naturally figure out.
After another failed attempt, although they still didn't want to believe it, they had to admit that someone had indeed resurrected the Hongyun Ancestor before them.
This resulted in them trying their best to bring the ancestor Hongyun back to reality.
But who did this? Do you have to think about it? Apart from the Taiqing Sage, who else in the ancient times had this ability?
"Too clear!"
Almost squeezing it out from between his teeth, Saint Zhunti called out the name of Saint Taiqing. His facial features were distorted, showing the anger in his heart.
Beside him, Saint Jingyin's temperament was much better. Seeing that Saint Zhunti wanted to say something more, he couldn't help but shook his head and signaled Saint Zhunti to stop talking. The matter has reached this point, no matter how much we talk, it is useless and cannot solve the problem.
The most important thing at the moment is to solve the problem first.
I saw the reception saint clasping his hands together and saying with a sad face: "Since Fellow Taoist Hongyun has been resurrected, please show up to see him."
Let’s wait to discuss all issues until we meet Ancestor Hongyun.
Now, the Second Saint of the West is also in a dilemma. If you don't hand over the position of the Lord of the Buddha Realm to Patriarch Hongyun, you won't be able to repay the cause and effect of giving up your seat.
To hand over the position of the Lord of the Buddhist Realm to him would be to hand over the Buddhist Realm to the Taiqing Sage.
Right now, Mount Sumeru is in Jiang Chen's hands. If the Buddhist world is lost again, then the two of them will really become the nominal founders of Buddhism. In fact, the Buddhist world has nothing to do with them, and they will have no power at all. Unable to mobilize.
The future of Buddhism is related to whether they can fulfill their great aspirations, so there must be no mistakes in the Buddhist world. This is the key to their control of Buddhism.
The Buddha Realm cannot give you cause and effect, so what should you do if you give it cause and effect? If the Buddhist world is given to them, what will they do with their great aspirations?
It doesn’t matter if I give it, or if I don’t give it, it’s really a dilemma!
…
"Fellow Taoist, do I want to come out and see you?"
In the Eight Views Palace of Shouyang Mountain, a middle-aged Taoist wearing a red robe, the Hongyun Patriarch, asked the Taoist Heavenly Lord next to him.
"Let's meet. They already know about your resurrection. There is no need to hide it anymore. In addition, the Buddhist world is indeed good. This is an opportunity for fellow Taoists. When fellow Taoists come forward this time, they will also take advantage of this opportunity." Get it back." Daode Tianzun said to the ancestor Hongyun beside him.
"I have endured it for so many years just for today. What they owed me back then, I will get back everything today."
Ancestor Hongyun's expression remained unchanged, but his voice was full of resentment.
Who is the person he hates the most? It was definitely not the Ancestors Styx and Kunpeng who killed him, but the Two Saints of the West.
When he died, the two people in the West had already become saints. In other words, they could save him from the hands of Styx and Kunpeng at any time as long as they were willing.
This was also the reason why Patriarch Hongyun didn't panic at all when he was besieged by Patriarch Styx and Kunpeng. He felt that based on the relationship between him and the Second Saint of the West, if he encountered danger, the two of them would never stand idly by.
With the saint as his backing, Patriarch Hongyun certainly wouldn't panic. However, what he didn't expect was that the people who wanted him dead the most were not the Ancestors Styx and Kunpeng who wanted to kill him, but the Two Saints of the West, whom he regarded as the backstage.
If he had thought of this earlier, he would not have fallen into the hands of Ancestor Styx and Kunpeng back then.
After all, Styx and Kunpeng didn't force him much back then. If he seized the opportunity and wanted to escape, he wouldn't be unable to escape.
It's a pity that Patriarch Hongyun trusted the Second Saint of the West so much that he missed the best opportunity to escape and fell sadly.
In other words, in the heart of Patriarch Hongyun, he was indirectly killed by the Two Saints of the West, so he hated these two people the most.
…
Not long after the voice that greeted the saint fell, red clouds filled the sky and earth. A middle-aged Taoist with a rich face, a gourd on his waist, and a red robe walked out of the red clouds and walked to the west. In front of the two saints.
"Two fellow Taoists, long time no see."
Patriarch Hongyun said hello to the Second Saint of the West with an expressionless face.
"Fellow Taoist, it's been a long time!"
The Second Sage of the West was a little embarrassed and even had a guilty conscience, so he responded sheepishly.
The person in front of them can be said to be their biggest creditor in their lives, and the person they least want to face. But the matter has come to this, no matter how difficult it is to face, we must face it.
"I haven't congratulated you fellow Taoist for his resurrection yet."
After calming down his mind, he led the saint to congratulate Patriarch Hongyun.
Hongyun's current cultivation level has obviously been established as a master of great supernatural powers for many years, and he is about to enter the realm of sub-sage. It can be seen from this that he has probably been resurrected for a long time, otherwise his cultivation level would not be so much higher than before his death.
"I have been resurrected for a long time, but I have not set foot in the world of mortals. There is nothing to congratulate."
Ancestor Hongyun's attitude was still cold, as if he had no intention of communicating with the two of them.
"Fellow Taoist, it's really..."
Seeing Hongyun's attitude, the Second Saint of the West, who was already feeling guilty, didn't know what to say.
"To make a long story short, you asked me to come out. What's the matter?"
Perhaps it was because of his death that Patriarch Hongyun's temperament changed drastically. He changed from his previous good-natured appearance to become extremely indifferent.
"Ahem, it's about how to compensate Taoist friends!"
Saint Zhunti replied, even if he didn't want to face it, at this moment, he had to face it. The matter has been dragging on for so long. No matter what, we have to find a way to put an end to it today.
"compensate?"
"Isn't it simple?"
"The cause and effect of sanctification must be repaid with the holy throne. If you can come up with a holy throne, the cause and effect between us will naturally be ended."
Ancestor Hongyun sneered, not believing what the two of them said. If they really had the intention to bring about karma, they would not have just sat back and watched him fall.
"Okay, fellow Taoist, if you want the holy throne, I'll give it to you."
Contrary to what Patriarch Hongyun expected, facing his outrageous request, Saint Jieyin actually agreed. For a moment, Ancestor Hongyun thought he had heard wrongly, and asked uncertainly: "What did you say?"
"Fellow Taoist, you heard me right. If you want the holy throne, then I will give it to you."
"But not now. My ambition has not yet been fulfilled. The holy position is just a trap. Even if I want to give it to fellow Taoists, Heaven will not allow it."
"When my ambition is fulfilled and the West ushered in great prosperity, then I will give up my holy throne to fellow Taoists."
The saint said sincerely. This was something he had thought about for a long time. He had only told it to Saint Zhunti before, but now he said it in front of Patriarch Hongyun and all the great supernatural beings.
Such sincerity cannot be said to be insufficient.
Now all the powerful men in the ancient world have heard what he said, and they will give up the holy throne to Patriarch Hongyun after the great prosperity of the West.
If in the future, the Holy Saint does not do this and gives up his holy throne to Patriarch Hongyun, he will be breaking his trust in the world, and the consequences will be too serious.
The entire West may become a stinking piece of shit, and everyone is afraid to avoid it.
At this time, many people believed that what the saint said was true. Even Ancestor Hongyun almost believed it.
It's a pity that Hongyun, who has already suffered a loss once, will never suffer a loss twice on the same thing. If the saint who receives the invitation gives him the holy throne now, then he believes in the other party's sincerity. If you can give it later, it will be a pure cake.
The future is ever-changing, who knows what will happen in the future? What if he dies again? In this way, can the Holy Spirit get rid of this matter at no cost?
How can the dead be sanctified!
It’s an old trick, everything will be in vain after death, naturally everything will be successful, no matter how much you promise now, you don’t have to fulfill it after death.
Ancestor Hongyun, who had already been deceived once, did not believe a word of what the saint said.
I heard him sneer twice, and suddenly said: "If you want to repay the karma, why bother? You don't have to wait until later."
"The Buddha Realm is so extraordinary that it is worthy of a holy throne. If you are willing to give the Buddha Realm to me, then the cause and effect between us will be clear."
Coming, coming, Patriarch Hongyun finally revealed his true purpose, which was to come to the Buddhist world.
Ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month.
