"This is the favor account of the underworld." Fang Jian took out the 'book-off' records brought from the underworld, "Please circulate it to yourselves."
Erlang Shen and Sun Wukong had already seen this record, so they passed it to Emperor Dongyue.
Emperor Dongyue opened the debit record, glanced at it with his spiritual thoughts, and saw it completely in a moment.
After reading the write-off record, Emperor Dongyue glanced at the gods of the underworld, and he had no one to pass it on to, so he turned to Fang Jian and said: "Emperor Hongqing, although the gods of the underworld have done some favors, these are From a common sense point of view, human feelings are unavoidable.”
When Fang Jian heard this, he glanced at Erlang Shen and Sun Wukong and said, "It's very similar to what you said."
Erlang Shen and Sun Wukong smiled lightly, because after reading the write-off record, they also said the same thing as Emperor Dongyue.
Fang Jian turned to look at Emperor Fengdu again and said, "What should you say, fellow Taoist?"
Emperor Fengdu said: "Emperor Hongqing, although the underworld is independent of the present world, it is not unrelated to the present world. Many affairs in the underworld must be carried out in the present world. Let's call it soul-binding. If there are ghosts in Taoism or Buddhism, In the powerful dojos of the two parties, how can my underworld soldiers and ghosts restrain the souls?"
Fang Jian said: "Both Taoism and Buddhism have the obligation to save the souls of the dead and send them to the underworld."
"That's what I say, but there are always exceptions to everything. When people in the underworld walk in the world, they always rely on monks and great virtues from all over the world. If the underworld doesn't do some favors with them, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble." Emperor Fengdu said.
Fang Jian said: "What fellow Taoist said is nothing more than the belief that it is necessary for the underworld to be kind to people and do some favors in the human world. This is inevitable, right?"
"Yes." Emperor Fengdu said: "Emperor Hongqing, may I ask if you encountered any difficult things when you were the Earth God?"
Fang Jian said calmly: "No, because I have the power of magic weapon, so there is nothing difficult for me."
Emperor Fengdu nodded and said: "Then Emperor Hongqing, the underworld soldiers, ghosts, and even the many righteous gods, do they have such opportunities and magic weapons as you, Emperor Hongqing? Let's not talk about the beginning, but now, what is in your hand? Magical weapons are either acquired treasures or innate spiritual treasures, which even Emperor Qingyuan Miaodao and Emperor Qitian don’t have, right?"
Erlang Shen and Sun Wukong looked at each other, and then heard Erlang Shen say: "I have one of the acquired treasures here, but I don't dare to ask for the innate spiritual treasure."
The acquired treasure of Erlang Shen was naturally left to him by his master Yuding Taojun, and Sun Wukong said: "My wishful golden cudgel was blessed by the Tathagata when I became a Buddha, and its power is not inferior to the acquired treasure. "
Emperor Fengdu said: "That's right. Don't talk about acquired treasures. Even low-grade immortal treasures and high-grade immortal treasures are not something ordinary people can possess. Emperor Hongqing, the people below have their own way of doing things. As long as they don't harm the three realms, Living beings are detrimental to the majesty of heaven, and from a poor perspective, some things can be allowed to exist."
Sun Wukong said to Fang Jian: "What Emperor Fengdu said makes sense. After all, not everyone is the same as Fang Jian."
Fang Jian said: "I naturally understand this truth. The strong have their own ways of doing things, and the weak have their own ways of doing things. But small things can lead to big things, everyone. Once this case is allowed, who can guarantee that they will not do it in the future?" Something that will endanger all sentient beings?"
"It is true that there is no danger now, but once the abuse of power for personal gain begins, it will inevitably develop in depth! If you seek small selfishness now, you will seek big selfishness in the future." Fang Jian said earnestly: "There is no end to desire."
Erlang Shen said: "What Emperor Hongqing said is not unreasonable. A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest. Although this kind of thing will not be severely punished, it must be vigilant and put an end to it."
Fang Jian heard that Erlang Shen supported him, but only said to be vigilant and to prevent it, and couldn't help but said: "This matter can only be completely prohibited or acquiesced, there is no middle choice."
Erlang Shen said: "You can set up a supervisory office to allow the existence of 'favor accounts' like the underworld. However, such favor accounts must be reported to the supervisory office for public reconciliation and cancellation. This way you can avoid the situation where a small thing turns into a big one." ', things that endanger all sentient beings appear."
"I agree with the words of Qingyuan Miaodao Emperor." Sun Wukong said: "Establish a supervision department, or directly supervise it by the Heavenly Court."
Emperor Dongyue said: "I agree too."
Emperor Fengdu did not speak, because he and the underworld were 'parties', so he did not express his position.
But there are only five emperors here, and now three emperors have stated that they can tolerate the existence of this kind of thing, but they need to 'supervise' and 'make it public'. To be honest, this is somewhat contrary to Fang Jian's idea.
Among the four emperors of Lingxiao, Nezha left Daluotian and went to other heavens. Now there are only three emperors present, and two of them have expressed their stance, so the tone of this matter has almost been set.
However, Fang Jian suddenly called out: "Where is King Yama?"
King Yama of the fifth hall came out in response, walked to the center of the hall with a jade tablet in hand and said, "I am here."
Fang Jian asked: "Do you also do favors?"
King Yama said: "I am reporting to the Hongqing Emperor that I will not do favors."
Fang Jian frowned and said, "But in this 'cancellation' account book, there are also accounts of favors from you, King Yama, and you have the most."
King Yama heard this and said: "Back to Emperor Hongqing, those are not favor accounts, they are"
"It's the Tent of Compassion." When King Yama hesitated, Emperor Fengdu answered for King Yama: "King Yama has the most compassion for the world, so whenever there is a sufferer, he will mercifully grant him longevity, so King Yama's The most accounts."
The King of Yama is Bao Zheng. He was originally the King of Hell in the first palace among the ten palaces. However, he was too merciful to the world and released people to "return to the sun" from time to time. Finally, he was demoted to the fifth palace, and King Qin Guang succeeded him as the third palace. A palace of the king of hell.
Emperor Fengdu of the Yama Dynasty bowed and said to Fang Jian: "To the Emperor Hongqing, I believe that as long as the gods of the Yins are compassionate, they can benefit all living beings. Therefore, I don't do favors, I am all. Free of charge to extend the life of good people in the world."
Fang Jian asked: "Then King Yama, do you also agree with the theory of 'favor account'?"
King Yama said: "I report to the Emperor Hongqing that I do not agree with the favor account, and I also oppose the favor account."
"Oh?" Fang Jian's eyes lit up and he said, "Tell me your reasons."
King Yama said: "I believe that favors should not be done. As long as the person is kind in the world, the underworld should directly grant Yangshou as appropriate. This is a compassionate act of the Yinsi God and should not be tainted by favors."
"." Fang Jian was stunned, and wrote that King Yama was even more extreme, "Wouldn't the world be in chaos if this happened! Life and death are destiny, how can we change it?" Fang Jian said softly: "King Yama, what you are doing is even more undesirable. .”
King Yama wanted to 'remonstrate directly' again, but Fang Jian waved his hand directly and said: "King Yama, please take a seat."
King Yama was a little disappointed, so he had to bow and say: "I obey the law."
Then Fang Jian looked at the other kings of hell and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
In the tenth hall, the wheel-turning king held the jade tablet in his hand and stood up to worship: "To the Emperor Hongqing, I have something to say."
Fang Jian raised his hand and said, "King of Wheels, please speak."
King Chakravartin said: "Emperor Hongqing, this favor account is certainly a way for the underworld to conduct official business in the human world, but there is actually another way. With this method, the favor account can be completely eliminated."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately said: "Come quickly."
King Chakravartin said: "Emperor Hongqing, the reason why the underworld has to make a favor account is because the people in the underworld have to work in the human world, and they need the cooperation of monks and great virtues from all walks of life. But once when Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was in the underworld, I People from the underworld can walk in the realms of Taoism and Buddhism without any worries, and the monks and virtues from all sides will actively cooperate."
"So." King Chakravartin said: "I thought that I could re-open the gates of Taoism and Buddhism to enter the underworld to take charge. In this way, there is no need for this 'favor account', and the evil soldiers and ghosts can freely enter and exit the Taoist and Buddhist monasteries. .”
When Fang Jian heard this, he took a deep look at Chakravartin, then shook his head and said, "No."
As for why it’s not possible, is there any need to explain? It took a lot of effort to exclude the forces of Taoism and Buddhism from the underworld and heaven. How can we welcome them back again?
When King Chakravartin heard that Fang Jian said no, he said no more and just bowed.
Fang Jian said: "Please take a seat."
The Wheel-turning King thanked him and sat down.
"After all, it's still a problem with the big religions." But at this point, Fang Jian relaxed. Now that the evil god of chaos is born, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, it is the force that Fang Jian must unite.
Besides, this favor account is not forced by Tao and Buddha on the underworld, but is the rules of the underworld's "grassroots personnel". You must make more good connections, right?
Although it is said that "little devils are difficult to deal with", for these little devils, those Taoist great virtues and powerful beings are the existences they can only look up to. If you, a little devil, encounter a problem with the Taoist Taiyi Golden Immortal, you can either report it to the underworld for disposal, or you can do it yourself. Find a way to deal with it.
But no matter what, in the end it is the underworld that consumes resources and time. It is better to form a good relationship from the beginning and everyone opens the door to each other.
So in a sense, this favor account does make it easier for the 'bastards' to do things, but in Fang Jian's opinion, it is not in line with nature.
"Since the three fellow Taoists all agree with the existence of the favor account, let's set up supervision first to observe the effects and then deal with it." Fang Jian looked at Erlang Shen, Sun Wukong and Emperor Dongyue and said.
However, Fang Jian then added: "But I have said something ugly before. If this 'favor account' really goes wrong in the future, don't blame me, Fang Jian, for not respecting colleagues."
Speaking of this, Fang Jian glanced at all the gods of the underworld with cold eyes. The gods of the underworld felt as cold as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
Finally, Fang Jian directly announced: "Edict: From now on, Emperor Dongyue Tianqi Rensheng will supervise all affairs of Fengdu and the gods and officials of the underworld!"
The person Fang Jian set up to monitor the underworld was none other than Emperor Dongyue, which is why this meeting was held in Mount Tai.
Emperor Fengdu and the gods of the underworld looked at the surprised Emperor Dongyue. Obviously, this was something Fang Jian had decided early on.
Even Erlang Shen and Sun Wukong were a little surprised, but it was not too shocking to order Emperor Dongyue to monitor the underworld.
