On the top of the Heavenly King's Palace, the Guangmu Heavenly King's orb exudes a faint golden light, illuminating the entire Heavenly King's Palace with bright lights, and filling Qi Zhen's heart with an aura of ease and peace.
Lin Biao and Nuo Lan sat cross-legged on the futon, breathing very thin and long. If Qi Zhen hadn't confirmed that they were both recovering from their injuries, they would have mistakenly thought that they were dead.
In this rare clean time, Qi Zhen finally had time to review everything that happened after the team arrived in this world, and hoped to sort out some useful information.
When the team entered this game, they originally accompanied Tang Monk to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.
In fact, after they accompanied Tang Seng to conquer four apprentices and a horse, they had to part ways with the four masters and apprentices.
At first Qi Zhen thought the reason was because Lin Biao showed great strength in Guanyin Yuan, which attracted the attention of all parties.
There is heaven and Buddhism here, but now it seems that it is more than that.
From the first time everyone in the team saw Guanyin Bodhisattva, no, from the first time everyone in the team came into contact with Tang Monk, they were afraid that they had been targeted by others.
Everyone's decision to go to Lingshan seemed reckless, but it was actually a helpless move, because Qi Zhen knew very well that the system's purpose of bringing them to this world was not to end with the four masters and apprentices walking westward.
It’s just that they didn’t expect that Buddha would send them to teach in heaven.
Before they knew about Heavenly Court's vigilance against Buddhism, it seemed that going to Heavenly Court was just a trivial matter. But after arriving in Heavenly Court, they discovered that the Jade Emperor was already wary of them to such an extent.
So what about Yuanshi Tianzun? Where is Emperor Ziwei?
Putting these two questions aside, if things are really as simple as Qi Zhen thought, then at least there is a relatively reasonable explanation for the matter.
Emperor Ziwei is no less wary of Buddhism than the Jade Emperor. It can even be said that the entire Taoist sect actually has an innate hostility towards Buddhism.
But whether it is from the perspective of Emperor Ziwei's ability to teach Wang Jianguo and Sun Jie, or from the attitude of Taishang Laojun and Master Tongtian towards everyone in the team, it is obvious that this reason is untenable.
Even Yuanshi Tianzun did not choose to treat everyone in the team differently because of their Buddhist status. Instead, he was quite impressed by Nuolan's ability to understand the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.
So what exactly is the problem?
Before Heaven and Buddhism broke through the window paper, in fact, all the Jade Emperor could do was to put everyone in the team under house arrest in disguise, just like what he did to Lin Biao and Nuo Lan, but the fierce reaction of the team was obviously a bit unexpected. Heaven’s expectation.
They didn't expect that everyone would actually dare to take action against the four marshals.
And you can still fight without losing or losing.
As the leading combat force of Heavenly Court, the four marshals' participation not only represents Heavenly Court's importance to the team, but also represents the importance it attaches to them.
This is not a sick word. The former represents Heaven's respect for their identity, and the latter represents respect for their strength.
In the end, it was Erlang Shen who took action in person and took Lin Biao and Nuo Lan, who were not involved in the battle, to the Lingxiao Palace.
Others fled in all directions and were protected by different immortals at the same time.
If Emperor Ziwei is more interested in using everyone in the team, then why do Taishang Laojun and Master Tongtian, two people with completely different fundamental understandings of Tao, choose to take action in unison? What exactly are their demands? What is the hidden meaning behind it?
The purpose of Taishang Laojun has been explained to Qi Zhen. Qi Zhen believes that it is unrealistic to rely on only a few people in the team to carry this heavy burden. However, it can be regarded as a great responsibility handed down by God. People, Taishang Laojun has plans for the team, but what about the Tongtian Cult Leader?
On the other side, judging from the feedback from Lin Zhuang, it was not that Buddhism was unconcerned about the members of the team, but rather focused on their life safety.
Perhaps the Buddha also believed that the life of the team would not be in any danger during this trip, so he was not worried about their safety and did not come to Heaven to challenge anyone.
But when Lin Zhu and Nuolan went to the Lingxiao Palace, the Bodhisattva of Great Strength followed closely behind him. He didn't say anything openly, but secretly he was trying to scare the other party not to attack the team. This at least proved that the Buddhist side was still very tough. Those who were concerned about the life and safety of the team were perhaps just afraid of breaking the delicate balance between the two parties, so they did not directly ask for help from Heaven.
As for the original Tianzun, even if Qi Zhen doesn't want to admit it, he must agree with the judgment made by Lin Biao before.
Even the branch of interpretation is not monolithic, at least not unified in terms of thinking.
For example, Nezha, as a third-generation disciple of Chanjiao, is extremely close to everyone in the team. This may be due to the great sage, but more likely it is the mutual recognition of the two parties' behavior.
Qi Zhen thought it was impossible whether Guangchengzi, one of the second generation disciples, had followed the secret order of Yuanshi Tianzun to kill Lin Biao and Nuo Lan.
If Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to kill them, why would he only send one Guangchengzi?
But out of caution, it was impossible for the team to go to Yuanshi Tianzun to verify the matter. What's more, after killing Guang Chengzi, even if the two sides were not enemies before, they are now.
But if we don’t talk about sects, there are so many gods in heaven. It would be too difficult to determine who is a friend and who is an enemy.
So it would be better to simply regard all Taoist gods as enemies.
It's just that everyone's only friend Yunlou Palace, after Emperor Ziwei took action against them, it is difficult to determine the other party's position. This is a somewhat sad thing.
Tianting is worried about Buddhism, and presumably thinks the same as Buddhism, and will not try to provoke Buddhism's sensitive nerves.
Since the Jade Emperor will not directly send heavenly soldiers and generals to crush the small team, then Buddhism only needs to send a great Bodhisattva of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva level to come forward and shock them. This logic should be correct.
So……
Qi Zhen suddenly felt a numbness on her neck, and goosebumps fell all over the floor.
He seemed to understand something.
Qi Zhen's pupils shrank, and everything seemed to be connected in a thread in his mind.
The key is time.
Heavenly Court did not take action against everyone in the team, which means that there is an indescribable tacit understanding between Taoism and Buddhism.
Nezha once said that whether it was because of following the Taoist methods of everyone in the team, or because they coveted the Hunyuan Dao Fruit in Nuolan, there must be many people who are holding back to take action against everyone in the team after leaving the Heavenly Court. The person may come from the Jiejiao sect, maybe from the Chan sect, or maybe he is the ancestor of the Earth Immortal like Zhenyuan Immortal.
But their lives can be guaranteed in Heaven, for no other reason. Once everyone in the team dies in Heaven or their lives are threatened, Heaven will not be able to absolve themselves of the blame.
So no one would choose to kill everyone in the team here.
There were only two moments when everyone in the team could clearly feel the other party's murderous intent.
If the three marshals Ma Zhaowen just wanted to teach the team a lesson because of their actions, then the siege and killing that Guang Chengzi and the previous team suffered would undoubtedly kill everyone in the team.
But there is still the same problem, which is the problem of time.
Why did Guangchengzi dare to take action against the team before the news of Emperor Ziwei's rebellion arrived? Isn't he afraid of creating an irreversible feud with Buddhism?
There is only one reason, that is, he knew in advance that Emperor Ziwei was going to cause trouble, and he also knew that everyone in the team would definitely become a thorn in Emperor Ziwei's side.
So is this his personal behavior or the instruction of Yuanshi Tianzun?
If Qi Zhen just thought that Guang Chengzi's attack on Lin Biao and Nuo Lan was a personal act, now he has deep doubts about it.
If Yuanshi Tianzun gave the order, no, even if he just allowed this thing to happen, it proves that he should already know about Emperor Ziwei's rebellion against Heaven.
Because everyone in the team represents Buddhism, and under the rule of the Jade Emperor, it is not necessary and should be avoided as much as possible to cause damage to the team.
Unless Emperor Ziwei doesn't care at all, or in other words, his decision to take action against everyone in the team was originally his choice after careful consideration.
Install the latest version. 】
It was even a decision made after discussions with Yuanshi Tianzun.
what does that mean?
This may mean that Emperor Ziwei's rebellion this time was originally supported by Yuanshi Tianzun, which means that the current Heavenly Court and even Taoist Sect are ready to go to war with Buddhism.
Qi Zhen gave a bitter smile, which was extremely harsh in the quiet Heavenly King's Palace.
He had always judged that the reason why Emperor Ziwei rebelled against Heaven must not be for the purpose of becoming the Jade Emperor. Whether he listened to Wang Jianguo or discussed with Lin Biao, everyone came to the same conclusion.
As the second-in-command of Tianting, a large company, and in charge of Dobu, he has too many ways to change the status quo, and there is no need to sit on that chair himself.
Facts have proved that he not only controls the Dou Bu, but also the Lei Bu and the Plague Department, so there is no need to rebel. These are basically the confidence he can negotiate with the Jade Emperor and even Yuanshi Tianzun.
So after the war started, the team thought that the other party might be heading towards Yuanshi Tianzun, with the purpose of completely changing the Taoist sect's understanding of the Tao itself, and perhaps should be more biased towards the teachings of the Tongtian leader.
This also coincides with the theory that Emperor Ziwei said before about making the three realms better.
But now it seems...
Perhaps things are developing in another direction. The fundamental appeal of Emperor Ziwei is that because Heaven is so hierarchical, he questions the fundamentals of Tao. However, it is not that he is going towards the direction of Tongtian Cult Leader Youjiao Wu Lei. Instead, he may think that the power of Heaven is not concentrated enough. , and the idea of cutting off education, which emphasizes teaching without distinction, is precisely the culprit that hinders the unification of the three realms.
I originally thought that Emperor Ziwei was a moderate reformist, Master Tongtian was a reformist, and Tianting was a conservative. However, I didn't expect that Emperor Ziwei turned out to be the most radical die-hard.
Things are getting serious...
