To discuss matters in the lower realms, the one from the Taoist sect is Yun Zhongzi, the Taoist Master of Guangde Qingfu, the Buddhist sect is the Tantan Merit Buddha Xuanzang, and as for the demon clan, all twelve demon gods are here.
Fang Jian bowed to Yun Zhongzi first. Because Yun Zhongzi was a Taoist, and was the same as an emperor in the heavenly sequence, he had to bow to Yun Zhongzi first.
However, Fang Jian is the god of justice, so there is no need to be too humble in front of Yun Zhongzi. After all, Yun Zhongzi is just a fellow emperor, not an emperor who directly holds power in heaven.
Other heavenly gods may be respectful in front of Yun Zhongzi, even if Erlang God comes, they have to call Yun Zhongzi uncle according to their seniority, but there is no need for Fang Jian to do this, which is why he is asked to do this. The reason for the matter.
Then Fang Jian bowed to Xuanzang and the Twelve Demon Gods. After the two parties bowed to each other, Fang Jian waved his hand, and a golden cloud suddenly rose in the Haotian Hall.
"Everyone, please take a seat." Fang Jian said with cupped hands, and then took the initiative to sit down on the golden cloud. Yun Zhongzi, Xuanzang, and the twelve demon gods also sat down one after another, and everyone formed a semicircle, but there was no distinction between priority.
"Do all fellow Taoists know about the depletion of spiritual energy among all the immortals and spirits in the world?" Fang Jian asked.
Yun Zhongzi said: "I have known this for a long time. The immortals and spirits in the world are exhausted, their luck is cut off, and they cannot be restored in a short time." Fang Jian nodded and said: "This is indeed the case, so the heaven is ready to let Taoism and Buddhism , the demon tribes have each attained their own salvation, and led the scattered immortals from the lower realms into the great world of Jambudvipa, so I have just invited all fellow Taoists to come over for discussion today.”
"At this time when the monks in the lower realms are in danger of life and death, we, the Buddhist sect, should be brave enough to take on important responsibilities. We are willing to save and guide the scattered immortals from the East Dou Heaven and the West Dou Heaven." Zhantan Gongde Buddha said with a righteous face.
When Yun Zhongzi heard this, he gave up and objected on the spot: "I don't think your Buddhist sect can shoulder this important task at all. It's enough to give you a Western Dou Tian." Zhantan Gongde Buddha said: "Fellow Taoists, don't take advantage of yourself. Just because Taoism can't save people doesn't mean that Buddhism can't save them."
"You just can't be saved by Buddhism." Yun Zhongzi said. The Buddha of Zhantan Merit said: "It can be saved."
"It can't be saved." Yun Zhongzi emphasized. Zhan Tan Merit Buddha confirmed with a serious face: "It can be saved." Upon seeing this, the twelve demon gods on the side quickly discussed with each other, and then the demon god Bai Ze said: "Then we demon clan will not fight with the Taoist and Buddhist families. , we only need the Southern Dou Heavens and the Northern Dou Heavens." As soon as Bai Ze finished speaking, Yun Zhongzi and Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha, who were still arguing, immediately stopped arguing and quickly formed a united front.
"No." Yun Zhongzi said: "You don't have that ability." Demon God Shang Yang said: "We have this ability, and it is enough to save the two heavens."
"No." Zhan Tan Merit Buddha said: "Fellow Taoist Yun Zhongzi is right, you monster clan don't have that ability."
"We have it!" Yingzhao Demon God, the head of the Twelve Demon Gods, frowned and said, "We definitely have this ability, Taoist Master Yun Zhongzi, Zhan Tan Merit Buddha, please don't underestimate our demon clan." Yun Zhongzi Wen He said: "Oh? Is that so? Then our Taoist sect would like to send a few enlightened Taiyi Jinxian to Luzhou, Beiju to try." Zhantan Gongde Buddha said: "Our Buddhist sect also wants to send a few Bodhisattvas and Arhats there. A test for fellow Taoists of the demon tribe." The twelve demon gods suddenly lost their momentum when they heard these words, but the demon god Yongzhu shouted to Fang Jian: "Zhenjun Hongqing, the Taoist and Buddhist families are threatening us. Can you preside over it? It's fair." Fang Jian also opened his mouth at this time and said to Yun Zhongzi and Xuanzang: "Two Taoist friends, the discussion is the discussion, don't threaten others." Yun Zhongzi smiled and said: "Zhenjun Hongqing has misunderstood, I am a poor Taoist. I don’t threaten the demon clan, I just want to send the sect’s great monks to give guidance on the demon clan’s cultivation.”
"Yes, the poor monk thinks so too. This guidance on practice can't be said to be a threat." Zhantan Merit Buddha said with a smile.
Fang Jian said: "Well, how about I go to Taoism and Buddhism in two days to popularize the Dharma of Heaven?"
"Zhenjun Hongqing, you are the god of justice, you cannot use the laws of heaven to threaten us." Yun Zhongzi and Zhantan Gongde Buddha immediately said with vigilant faces.
Fang Jian spread his hands and said: "Is popularizing heaven's law also called a threat?" Yun Zhongzi and Zhan Tan Merit Buddha said: ""
"Okay, okay." Fang Jian said, "Well, I have a plan here. How about you guys listen to it?"
"Ha!" Yun Zhongzi held up his palms and said with a smile: "Hongqing Zhenjun, you told me earlier that you had a plan, tell me quickly and listen." Zhan Tan Merit Buddha said: "The poor monk is listening attentively." The Twelve Demon Gods also said: "Please Lord Hongqing, please tell me." Fang Jian didn't show off, and said directly: "What I mean is, don't fight. The five great heavens of East Dou, West Dou, Beidou, Nandou and Hunyi heavens are Taoist and Buddha. Every family can send people to pass on the Dharma, and let the immortals from the five heavens choose for themselves. Those who wish to return to the Buddha will return to the Buddha, and those who wish to return to the Dao will return to the Dao. How about fair competition between the Taoist and Buddhist families based on their abilities?"
"Okay, the poor monk agrees." Zhan Tan Merit Buddha immediately said, joking, when it comes to preaching ability, if Buddhism says second, who dares to say first?
Yun Zhongzi thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, this method is fairly fair." He also had some calculations in his mind. When it comes to calculations, who dares to say that we are second in our Taoist sect and are first?
Only the Twelve Demon Gods were anxious. Fang Jian divided the five heavens to Taoist sects in the blink of an eye. Then where should we go?
You're not asking us to go to the devil's world, are you?
"Zhenjun Hongqing, what about us?" Demon God Bai Ze asked quickly. Fang Jian said: "It's easy for the demon clan. All the demons and immortals in the five heavens, whether they have entered Buddhism or Taoism, belong to you." Hearing Fang Jian's words, the twelve demon gods immediately cheered up. They didn't need to say that. Just like Taoism and Buddhism, they are competing to spread the Dharma and preach. As long as they see a demon fairy, they can be accepted into the demon clan. How easy it is!
So he immediately expressed his position: "Zhenjun Hongqing's plan is indeed the fairest, and we, the demon clan, agree." Yun Zhongzi also nodded and said: "The Taoist sect agrees." Zhantan Merit Buddha said: "The Buddhist sect agrees." Fang Jian immediately put that The Taoist Talisman took out the edict and said, "Since you agree, please ask all fellow Taoists to sign your dharma seal on this talisman." Everyone then stamped their dharma seals on the talisman, and Fang Jian put away the talisman. Afterwards, he said to everyone: "Then, all Taoist friends will go back and choose a guide to bring them to the heaven. In the future, if anyone ascends from the lower world to the great world of Jambudvipa, this guide will go to receive them. And led him to the 'Jiexu Hall' located in the Four Heavenly Lords' Mansion in the Immortal Capital of Taishi to register as an immortal."
"That's right." Fang Jian said: "From now on, those who become immortals will no longer be directly awarded the 'Golden Medal of Immortal Treasure' by the Heavenly Court. Instead, they will be awarded the 'Golden Medal of Immortal Treasure' after they obtain the Immortal Book in the Heavenly Court Records. This includes Taoism, If the Buddhist sect, the demon clan, and all the scattered immortal sects do not have immortal books, they are wild immortals and are not protected by the rules of heaven." The purpose of this is to identify the 'tribulation immortals' of the demon sect, and I believe they have already been affected by this. information.
Therefore, Yun Zhongzi, Zhantan Merit Buddha and the Twelve Demon Gods were not surprised. When the matter was settled, Fang Jian announced that the discussion was over, and everyone stood up to say goodbye, leaving Haotian Temple and returning to their respective sects.
After handling this matter, Fang Jian immediately went to the Shenxiao Immortal Palace and returned to the East Pole Qinghua Emperor.
However, when he reported the two talisman edicts to Emperor Qinghua of the East and left Shenxiao Immortal Palace, Qingyan boy found him and said that the Nine Heavens Xuannv wanted to see him and asked him to go to Tushita Palace immediately.
Tushita Palace? Fang Jian was full of surprise. Jiutian Xuannv summoned him, why should he go to Tushita Palace?
