After Yamazaki returned with Farewell Buddha Ujeya, he lived there with everyone for a while.
Everyone saw that he was doing divination every day, and it was obvious that he had something to do, so they didn't say he was leaving and waited for him to make a decision.
Zhunti Buddha was also curious about what Yamazaki would do.
Ever since I knew that Yamazaki would promote Dongsheng Shenzhou to return to Buddhism, I didn't think so of Yamazaki. How can I put it this way?
To talk about resentment is to praise Yamazaki too much, and he is far from worthy of it.
It's an eyesore, that's probably it.
If you think about it carefully, although Yamasaki has been fighting against Buddhism for the past nine hundred years, he has also done a lot for Buddhism.
The entanglement of cause and effect is quite deep. Even he can't calculate all the pros and cons. He can only act at any time and operate randomly.
…
Yamazaki thought of many things from the cave, so there were many things to divination, and in the final analysis it was the general trend of heaven.
It just needs to be pieced together slowly, and there is still a missing piece here, that is, the troublesome Monkey King. Some things have more variables.
However, just by doing a divination calculation, I could think of something, reduce variables, increase or decrease, and it only took thirty-six days to finish the work.
…
Yamazaki announced the results, "Li Yingqiong, Yuan Xing, Princess Jingqing, Zhou Yanyu, Zhu Ya, Fan Zhen, Scorpio, the seven of you will still go to heaven, but not now."
"Jintang, you can abdicate and give up your position as the leader of Linghai Kingdom to Cai Ji, and let seven assistants manage Linghai Kingdom."
"Ah?" Everyone was surprised.
Cai Ji waved her hands repeatedly, "I can't do it."
"Don't say it yet," Yamazaki continued, "Li Yingqiong, the seven of you are all registered immortals or heavenly beings. Regardless of the cause and effect, you can return to heaven."
"Especially Li Yingqiong, Princess Jingqing, Zhou Yanyu, you three."
"Li Yingqiong is the leader of the earth, and heaven must treat him with courtesy. It won't be a problem for you to protect Yuan Xing."
"Princess Jingqing is a direct descendant of Emperor Ziwei, so self-preservation is not a problem."
"Zhou Yanyu is a meritorious minister. Not only did he provide suggestions to prevent Taoism and Buddha from starting a war, he also had the merit of protecting the Great Sage Qitian."
"The Jade Emperor wants to cause trouble for you, so he will have to bear the name of ungratefulness. With his current reputation, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it."
"And if you are fine, you can naturally protect others."
"It just so happens that you are entangled in karma and unable to practice and improve. Just stay with them and you will be rewarded in the future."
"With the Jade Emperor's wisdom, I don't think he will cause any trouble to you."
"But if the Jade Emperor is hot-headed and insists on doing it, you can say that I forced him to do it. Logically speaking, he will definitely not be able to stand up, and the thing will almost work."
Li Yingqiong nodded, "Sir, you have the final say."
Yuan Xing, Princess Jingqing, Zhu Ya, and Zhou Yanyu also disagreed.
"I don't have any problem with my brother's arrangements." Fan Zhen held up the five-element fan as a gesture, "But what do you say?"
"Wait a minute," Yamazaki continued to call names, "Father-in-law, Jintang, Shaoyao, Gu Ling'er, you follow me and go to Nanjing to complete the cause and effect."
"Scorpio can become an immortal, but Miss Gudiao has more merits than him, but cannot become an immortal. The only explanation is that she has important cause and effect."
"It just so happens that the cause and effect between Scorpio and Nanjingguan is not deep, so the problem must be Nanjingguan."
"Here in Linghai Kingdom, Jintang has been in power for too long, and the causes and effects are so deep that it has been difficult to achieve Yuan Shen. Fortunately, it is the demon clan that can survive until now."
"Instead of holding on to the position, it is better to give it to someone who is destined."
"Scorpio and I originally had a quarrel, but later we became friends, and we fought together in the Great Zhou Dynasty. We even went to Huaguo Mountain for him and saved him from the Cao Tou God. This is great cause and effect."
"He saved Cai Ji during our practice. This is certainly his fate, but it can also be said to be my fate and virtue. God sent Cai Ji to save us."
"Among us, she is the only one who is still mortal."
"You have been practicing with us for decades, you are full of knowledge, you are firm in your Taoism, you have met Cai Daru and you have settled your thoughts, but you have never been able to achieve the soul."
"This is the unfinished cause and effect. I don't know what it is, but I need someone by my side for this matter, and she is just right for it, so that's her."
"Cai Ji, for you to be the leader of Linghai Kingdom, there will be entanglements of cause and effect and there will be some risks for you, but as long as you can keep your heart and act as a decoration, then you can go to heaven in the future."
"The arrangement I am talking about is not to use you as a puppet, but to ask you not to change the current laws of Linghai Kingdom, so that your karma will be minimized."
"If you are seduced when the time comes, and you go to the underworld, with your merits, you can always be by your father's side. When his karma is over, you can go to heaven with him to serve the people."
"If you are not seduced, it means that I am right. You also have a destiny, which is to become the leader of Linghai Kingdom for a period of time and transform Linghai Kingdom from a demon kingdom into a human kingdom."
…
Everyone just listened to what Yamazaki said and didn't think anything of it.
Ling Jintang has no problem with abdicating, as long as he can be with Yamazaki and his father.
Cai Ji didn't object, especially because those reasons showed that there was something wrong with her, and she just needed a stroke.
It doesn't matter whether he wins or loses, as long as he dies, he will go to see his father.
Zhunti Buddha, who was eavesdropping, felt quite disturbed in his heart because Yamazaki was talking about humans and monsters.
This is exactly the next major question after retreating from the Tao and advancing toward Buddhism, which is related to how far Buddhism can flourish.
As for the Kingdom of Demons, it is the Empress Nuwa who is enshrined. It is difficult for Buddhism to go there, because it is tantamount to being the territory of the demon tribe under the command of the demon lord Nuwa.
But in a country of humans, Buddhism can slowly penetrate into it. It will take hundreds or thousands of years to turn it into a Buddhist country.
Although Dongsheng Divine Continent is divided into ten thousand cities, Buddhism is popular everywhere, and there is a chance that the entire Dongsheng Divine Continent can be turned into a Buddhist country.
…
Yamazaki finally talked about the demon's clone and asked him to pay attention to the people in the demon path.
King Nan Gao had arranged everything before his army was dismissed, but due to the greed of his successors, the whole plan was disrupted.
Due to the involvement of cause and effect, he had many bad karma, and he was sent to hell to cleanse his sins without waiting for the destruction of Nangao.
Now there are three parts in the southeastern part of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and he is the only one missing. Even if he has not entered reincarnation, he will probably soon.
"Fan Zhen is still there to build good relationships with him because of the Five Elements Fan. It has been twenty-seven years now."
"I'm not good at divination, so I can't figure out who he is, but I can guess that he is full of resentment, and he will probably enter the devil's path, and then just pass from the devil to the Buddha."
"It means putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately."
"What he also let go of was his obsession with Tao."
"Needless to say, the Taoist sect saw his bad behavior and never wanted to excommunicate him. It was just wishful thinking on his part."
"The Eight Immortals tried it back then but failed. This is the reason why."
"If you become good friends with him, you may be able to meet him if there is some cause and effect."
The demon clone nodded, "I know, I will pay attention."
…
Afterwards, Yamazaki and his party said goodbye to the Farewell Buddha Wu Jieya and returned to the Linghai Palace to prepare for the abdication ceremony.
On the new year of the 849th year of the Linghai Kingdom, Ling Jintang abdicated the position of the leader of the Linghai Kingdom to Cai Ji.
Cai Ji followed Yamazaki's instructions, and on the grounds that she was from Nanfanbuzhou, she imitated the political system of Nanganbuzhou and promoted the king to emperor, named Emperor Wen.
Everything else remains unchanged, step by step, and everyone does their own thing.
Everyone, including the church leaders, had no idea what kind of medicine Yamazaki was selling in his gourd, so they could only wait and see.
