"I have seen the Pure Lotus-Eyed Tathagata!"
Seeing the figure on Qinglian, Du Ziren and Wen Qiong saluted one after another. Regardless of their cultivation level or their official rank in the underworld, they must do this salute.
"No courtesy." The Tathagata with Pure Lotus Eyes said in a gentle voice, then looked at Wen Qiong and said, "Are you dissatisfied with my rule, so you come here to question me?"
"I don't dare. It's just the duty of Dongyue Taibao to inspect various departments. Today I was ordered to come here, so I dare not not do it. Filial piety moves the heavens. This is the law of Nuwa and the law of the ancestors. Now the Yin Department wants to change it. , is it possible to change the world?" Wen Qiong said, neither humble nor arrogant.
"The Taibao said jokingly, how dare I, a Buddhist, do such a reckless thing? However, the so-called filial piety moves heaven, which means going through the eighteen levels of hell. If one can escape from this, then it can be considered as true filial piety moves heaven. Even if the evil is unforgivable, one can re-enter reincarnation and follow the right path. "Faced with Wen Qiong's doubts, the Pure Lotus-Eyed Tathagata said without changing his expression.
"It is a heinous crime to go through the eighteen levels of hell. A so-called mean person needs to be like this. How can the Dharma exist?" Wen Qiong did not let go when he saw the Pure Lotus-Eyed Tathagata. He exposed his true nature and looked directly at the Pure Lotus-Eyed Tathagata.
"This is the Dharma. I think Taibao Wen didn't know that Xiniu Hezhou was originally a barbaric land where demons and demons lived together and refused to accept enlightenment. However, I, the Buddha, appeared in this world and used himself to light a lamp to guide the way for all sentient beings in Xiniu Hezhou, saving them from escape. Sea of suffering, however, there are many ignorant people among these demons and mortals. Not only do they not obey the righteous teachings of our Buddha, but they also do many things that slander and slander the Buddha. This is harmful to all sentient beings in Xiniuhezhou and is a great sin. Therefore, they should go to the endless hell and suffer endless suffering. The suffering." said the Pure Lotus-Eyed Tathagata.
"This is the law? Do you mean to say that if you don't believe it, you are guilty?" Wen Qiong laughed angrily. This was the first time she heard such shameless words.
If you slander the Buddha and you will go to the endless hell, you still want to kill demons. What is the difference between you and demons?
Sure enough, when Buddha and Demon thought, the dead one is the demon and the living one is the Buddha.
"It's not true in the other three continents, but it is true in Xiniuhezhou. It's because some people don't hear the mysteries of my Buddha's Dharma, so they hinder the prosperity of Xiniuhezhou. If they are not killed, how can they serve as a warning to others and protect our wonderful Dharma? Let Xiniu Hezhou prosper?" Pure Lotus Eyes Tathagata said matter-of-factly.
"So you are doing this for the sake of Xiniu Hezhou?" Wen Qiong's eyes widened and she looked at the Pure Lotus-Eyed Tathagata, as if she couldn't believe that the Pure Lotus-Eyed Tathagata could say such shameless words so confidently.
"Naturally." Pure Lotus Eyes Tathagata affirmed.
"But this is not my law in the underworld!" Wen Qiong roared angrily. Hearing the shameless words of the Pure Lotus-Eyed Tathagata, his face was furious and he could not suppress his anger. The Dharma was majestic and domineering, and the majestic power was flowing.
"The underworld has its own laws. Empress Houtu has granted me, Xiniu Hezhou, the right to self-government. It is so natural and reasonable. On the contrary, the Taibao is acting wildly in my underworld, even if he goes to the Empress Houtu, the monk is justified, so the Taibao should be at ease. Don't be impatient." Faced with Wen Qiong's anger, the Pure Lotus-Eyed Tathagata smiled, the green lotus blossomed under him, and the majestic aura bloomed. Wen Qiong was suddenly suppressed by a huge aura, making it difficult to sacrifice the Dharma and move. No.
"You are allowed to have autonomy, but if it doesn't conform to the laws of the Netherworld, you have to change it." Wen Qiong felt the overbearing magic power in her body and gritted her teeth.
"Yes, if it is inconsistent, it needs to be changed. But how to prove the inconsistency? I'm afraid this is not a decision that you, Taibao, can make alone. You should ask Taibao to report to Emperor Dongyue first, and then Emperor Dongyue will report to Empress Houtu. By the way, this matter, But Emperor Fengdu also approved it, and it has to be approved by Emperor Fengdu. If they all feel that this method is wrong, then the poor monk can change it." Pure Lotus Eyes Tathagata said without changing his expression, let alone changing it, let's go through these processes It will take several years to finish, but no one is delaying it. However, as for Emperor Fengdu, even if it is delayed for hundreds of years, there will be no results.
"Okay, I'll continue checking now, no problem." Wen Qiong gritted his teeth.
"No problem, of course there is no problem. Everything is in accordance with the rules. Please ask the Taibao to continue to check the affairs of my underworld. If there are any violations, record them all and we will make corrections." Pure Lotus Eyes Tathagata looked at it with a smile on his face. He looked at Wen Qiong as if he were looking at a little doll. There was not even mockery in his eyes, but he did not take Wen Qiong seriously at all.
You can check, you can check whatever you want, and see what you can find and what you can change.
The rules of the underworld have existed for so many years. Do you really think you can change them if you want?
In terms of the balance of yin and yang, Buddhism needs the help of the underworld to improve its teachings, but the underworld also needs Buddhism to maintain the balance of yin and yang in Xiniu Hezhou.
After all, Xiniu Hezhou is a mess to the underworld. The appearance of Buddhism can save the underworld a lot of trouble.
"good."
Wen Qiong agreed in one breath and looked at the Pure Lotus Eye Tathagata with dissatisfaction. This time, even if it was not for the sake of Guangmu Daughter and the others, but just for her own breath, Wen Qiong would never compromise.
At the moment, I held my breath and continued to check the underworld.
The Pure Lotus-Eyed Tathagata looked calm and continued to let an Arhat accompany him without letting the Arhat stop him. Instead, he looked at Du Ziren and said, "What does the Ghost Emperor think of this matter?"
"The Buddha has great supernatural powers, but my cultivation is not as good as the Buddha's. How can I make such false claims? But since the rules of the underworld have always been like this, there is no reason to change them." Du Ziren said.
The fight between Wen Qiong and the Pure Lotus-Eyed Tathagata is tantamount to a fight between the Five Sacred Mountains and the West. He is happy to see such a thing happen, and even wishes that the two sides would fight more fiercely. Where will it end?
"Then thank you Ghost Emperor. Please say hello to Emperor Fengdu on behalf of the poor monk." Pure Lotus Eyes Tathagata said with a smile.
"I will definitely bring it." Du Ziren returned the gift solemnly, then turned and left.
"Master, would it be too costly to break up with Wen Qiong directly? After all, behind Wen Qiong is Emperor Dongyue, and behind Emperor Dongyue is Empress Houtu. In the underworld, if Empress Houtu becomes tough, she can let her None of us can live without the underworld." After Wen Qiong left, Vinara looked at the Pure Lotus-Eyed Tathagata with some worry.
"Yes, Empress Houtu can do this, but she can't. Because she drives us out, the world of Yin and Yang in Xiniu Hezhou will really be in chaos. Empress Houtu has great love and will not be like this. Our love for Netherworld There is no merit but no fault. And this woman is not important, but her heir is too important. It is the key to our further progress in the West. We need to let her fully understand our Western path." Pure Lotus Eyes Tathagata said sternly.
"Is that woman really so crucial?" Vinara asked a little puzzled. If that was really the case, then if he held on to her, wouldn't he be liquidated in the future?
"Yes." Pure Lotus-Eyed Tathagata nodded solemnly, but looking at Vinara's expression, he knew what was in his heart, and said, "What are you afraid of? What you are doing now is the right thing. Even if she becomes a Buddha in the future, she will not To take revenge on you, you just acted according to the rules and did not seek personal gain with your power."
"Yes." Vinara said quickly, "Then what else does the disciple need to do next?"
"There is no need to do anything, just wait. When the time comes, we will offer some benefits and make some compromises. Emperor Dongyue will not investigate further." The old god, Pure Lotus Eye Tathagata, said.
Vinara nodded immediately and prepared to take action.
On the other side, Wen Qiong was still indignant and full of anger, but Jiang Shan looked indifferent. Although it was unexpected and he didn't understand the reason for the time being, he could accept it. There has always been a lot of ugliness in the world, and naturally there is no such thing in the Netherworld. There will be exceptions.
Under the darkness, it is difficult for light to travel.
Then use a darker approach.
Think of it as a way to show off to your future junior and seventh brother, Sun Wukong, and explore the way.
At the same time, Xiniu Hezhou, in a Buddhist temple on the Snow Mountain.
On top of a ninth-grade golden lotus, Tathagata Buddha suddenly opened his eyes, his brows furrowed, showing a solemn expression. Why was he a little uneasy? Someone was trying to destroy his arrangements in the underworld?
After pondering for a long time, Tathagata Buddha's complexion changed and he issued several instructions.
Things in the Netherworld have many plans, which is the key to wresting the power of the Netherworld from Ran Deng. There can be no deviation.
