Chapter 338 The third saint of Buddhism, saints are not great
"Fellow Taoist Zhunti, your words are wrong. Back then, Taoist ancestors thought that the West was barren and gave you two holy thrones, hoping that you two could develop the West. But after so many years, Xiniu Hezhou is still far behind the East.
It can be seen that your abilities are limited, and Buddhism is of no use to the world. No matter how many holy positions are given to you, it will only be wasted."
The leader of Tongtian Cult had already noticed that Ti was not pleasing to his eyes, and when he saw that he was doing the same thing again and was doing so badly, he imagined that the scene in Zixiao Palace would happen again, so he couldn't help suppressing his anger and scolded him.
"Fellow Taoist Zhunti, you don't live up to your expectations, you can't compete with others, you don't think twice about yourself, know your shame and then be brave. Instead, you resent others for being too strong. This is not what a gentleman does! You are so shameless!"
Confucius had no good impression of Zhunti. When Hongyun gave up his seat to him, allowing the West to obtain two holy thrones, this man did not want to repay the favor. Instead, he stood by and watched while Hongyun was in danger. Confucius was very angry. When he heard that he
How can we just sit back and watch when we are competing for the holy throne?
Zhunti's actions can be said to have offended the public. After Confucius, people came out to reprimand him one after another. In addition to the initial saints, even some quasi-sages couldn't help it. Although they were afraid of him in their hearts, they could not stand in front of the holy throne.
, I don’t care about so much anymore. At worst, I will seek refuge with a force in the future. Whether it is Taoist sect, demon sect or even heaven, there will always be someone who will accept me. Can he still cover the sky with one hand?
Naturally, Zhunti was unwilling to back down. He spread out his three-inch house, his mouth was full of lotus flowers, and he was indistinguishable from everyone. He was a dignified saint, and he was quarreling with everyone in public at this time. He had no grace at all. He saw that Prince Xuanwei was so shaken.
The princess, as well as the maids Xian Xuannv, Chang'e and other juniors were stunned and eye-opened.
Ancestor Zhulong and Hongjun looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They were both angry and admiring the title. What made them angry was that the great saint ended up shirtless for a holy throne that they could not use, and started to fight with everyone on the spot.
What I admire is that he can completely disregard his dignity for the sake of Buddhism, which is really rare. There are so many saints present, but no one except him can do it.
"That's enough! You all have extraordinary status, great supernatural powers, and are the pinnacle figures of the three realms. Now you are like a shrew scolding the streets. How can you behave like this?" Prince Dong was disturbed by the quarrels around him and couldn't help scolding him.
Make a sound.
Everyone was startled, and then they remembered that the situation was wrong. They had just been so angry that they were quarreling on such a day that was supposed to be a festive day. In the eyes of the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen of Heaven, wouldn't it be a serious loss of points?
At this thought, many people regretted it and secretly hated Zhunti, the troublemaker, for being so shameless that he took everyone into the ditch.
"Zhunti, I'm very curious. Who do you plan to use for the holy throne if you work so hard for it? Medicine Buddha? Maitreya Buddha?"
Seeing that Prince Dong's attitude was quite peaceful, Zhunti felt relieved and replied: "Your Majesty, Medicine Buddha and Maitreya Buddha all have the appearance of saints, but the young monk thinks that Zhedan Shili Buddha, Peacock Great Ming King Buddha, Ksitigarbha Buddha
Wang Fo is more suitable, His Majesty Fu Wei, the Holy Judge."
"So treacherous!"
Everyone cursed again in their hearts, "Zhedan Shri Buddha, Peacock Ming King Buddha, and Ksitigarbha Buddha. These three people have a close relationship with the Emperor of Heaven and are the backbone of the emperor lineage in Buddhism."
Zhunti pushed these three people out, obviously hoping that the Emperor of Heaven would give them the foundation for sanctification for the sake of being one of his own. Although it was not in the hands of his two direct descendants, it was still in Buddhism, and he would surely make a profit.
.
Duke Dong said: "The people you mentioned are indeed good, but they still need some time to become saints. It is not that Buddhism cannot produce saints, but not these people."
After that, without waiting for everyone to come to their senses, he waved his sleeves and said: "Everyone, please step aside. I have my own opinion in my heart about who belongs to the holy throne. I will reveal it after the sermon is over. You don't have to go around and work around it."
.”
Although everyone was unwilling to say anything, they had to leave. Thinking of the tone of the Emperor Shicai, it seemed that there really was a saint in Buddhism, but it was not the Medicine Master, Maitreya, Zhedan, Kong Xuan, or Ksitigarbha. Apart from these five people,
Who could it be?
Not only were everyone puzzled by this, but even Zhunti and Jieyin couldn't understand it. However, they were naturally overjoyed to have a holy throne in Buddhism. But then they thought, could this person be Sakyamuni Tathagata?
?
The person holding the palm of his hand is in the Saha world and has a high status, which is indeed the most likely. But if this is true, Buddhism may be divided. At this thought, the two of them went in excitedly, looked at each other, and began to worry again.
Inside the Buddhist sect, Lantern Tathagata and Sakyamuni Buddha looked at each other with bright smiles, but there was a deep cold light in their eyes, and they were extremely wary of each other.
"Randeng is a past Buddha. Although his status is slightly lower than mine, he once listened to the teachings in Zixiao Palace. He is extremely senior and has a wide network of connections. I don't know if he has any friendship with His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven. This person is the biggest obstacle to my becoming a saint. I would have known this was the case.
, I shouldn’t have repeatedly encouraged Zhunti to lure him to Buddhism. Although it weakened the strength of Chanjiao, it also caused me huge trouble."
While thoughts were surging in Duobao Tathagata's heart, Taoist Randeneng also regarded him as a stumbling block, and secretly resented him. When they were in Taoism, they were enemies. Unexpectedly, they both went to Buddhism, and he still lowered his head.
, subject to restrictions everywhere.
But Maitreya, Medicine Master, Zhedan, Kong Xuan, Ksitigarbha and others were disappointed when they heard that they were not qualified to become saints. They did not dare to have any objections to the Emperor of Heaven, so when they saw the Tathagata Many Treasures, Ran Deng and others were particularly displeased.
There was already a rift between them, and now they are even more disgusted with each other.
Not to mention the internal intrigues within the Buddhist sect, all the quasi-sages withdrew from Miluo Palace and came together in twos and threes. Thinking of the scene just now, they became very envious and jealous of Zhunti.
This guy once picked up a seat for nothing in Zixiao Palace and asked for a holy throne and a spiritual treasure. This time in Miluo Palace, he actually asked for another holy throne. His luck was so good.
Is it true that after losing face, everything will go well and luck will greatly increase? For a time, many people regretted that they had not lost their moral integrity quickly enough and not thoroughly enough, otherwise, they would have obtained a holy status.
Of course, they actually knew that Zhunti could successfully seek sainthood twice, but the superiors had originally intended to give them the sainthood, so it just happened to be smooth sailing.
But although this is an inside story, it is not the fact that everyone sees. Subconsciously, everyone is more willing to believe that it was Zhunti's plea that allowed Buddhism to obtain the holy title one after another.
Among the human race, three emperors, five emperors, three ancestors, and Confucius were walking together. Now the status of the three emperors and five emperors is no longer there, and they are almost the same as ordinary sages and elders. Fuxi and Confucius are the supreme beings and have the highest status, so they walk in the middle.
"Brother Confucius, I wonder what you think of this entrustment of the Holy Throne?"
Fuxi and Hongyun, the first generation of Confucius, also had some friendship. Although the Yao clan and Hongyun were very unhappy back then, it was basically the fault of Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun.
Now that both of them have died and been reincarnated, they are still human beings. The unhappiness they had back then has long since disappeared. Instead, they have a good friendship because they are both innate divine reincarnations of the same generation.
In terms of bloodline, whether it is Cangjie, Ji Chang in the previous life, or Kongqiu now, they are actually the descendants of Fuxi. However, the bloodlines are far apart, so it is difficult to sort them out.
Counting from one life to the next, they are all regarded as equals.
Confucius had already thought about this matter, and when he heard this he shook his head and said: "There are only six saints, how can there be enough? In addition to the Buddhist one, there are five more, which is not enough even for the four emperors and five emperors of heaven, let alone Kunpeng.
, Zhu Jiuyin and others, you and I have little hope."
Fuxi first nodded in agreement, then shook his head, smiled mysteriously, and said softly: "You are right, but I predict that this time there will be a person from my human race who will be the holy one, and the candidate is between you and me."
Confucius was stunned. Seeing Fu Xi's certainty, he couldn't help but believe it. Although the two were about the same level in terms of cultivation, Fu Xi's creation of innate Bagua was much better than his acquired Bagua. This deduction of heavenly secrets and calculations were all different.
There are few people in the Three Realms who can resist such twists and turns.
Since he said this, he naturally would not talk nonsense. Confucius thought for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed and he suddenly realized.
Not far from the human group, a group of high-level officials from Heaven gathered together and came out of Miluo Palace.
The nine people in the center are naturally the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, plus the Three Yuan Emperors, and among the emperors, Qingtongjun and Ziguang Lady are the centerpieces.
Among the Four Emperors and Five Emperors, Emperor Ziwei and Emperor Qing were originally the most important. Now, one of them has given birth to three princes and princesses to the Emperor of Heaven, and the other is about to attain Hunyuan Dao. With their seniority, their status is naturally incomparable.
Although we are about to discuss it, Prince Xuanxiao, as the King of All Gods, is actually the Crown Prince of the Three Realms, and his status should be higher. However, this is under special circumstances. Generally speaking, everyone discusses status based on the position of emperor.
Moreover, both of them are his elders and have watched him grow up. Needless to say, Qingtongjun is also Mrs. Ziguang. It was under her care that Xuan Xiao successfully became the master of Gou Chen Liuxing. The relationship between the two is quite good.
, he will naturally not feel wronged.
All the emperors also had different thoughts. No one could remain calm in front of the holy throne. Except for Madam Ziguang, Qingtongjun, Xuanxiao and Xuanming, the others were all preoccupied.
Yaochi glanced at Haotian and saw that his face was stern, showing no emotion or anger. He seemed to be completely unconcerned about the holy throne that he was about to obtain. He didn't show the slightest excitement. He couldn't help but secretly admire him.
Ever since Patriarch Hongjun agreed to intercede for Haotian, Yaochi knew that he was probably out of luck. There were six holy thrones in total, and even for Patriarch Hongjun's sake, it would be a mercy for the two of them to get one.
If the six holy thrones were distributed to everyone in heaven, both of them might become saints. However, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven is no longer just the Lord of Heaven, but also the veritable Lord of the Three Realms. Naturally, he will not only consider matters from Heaven.
From a different perspective, there are many interests and balancing relationships involved.
"Emperor Ziwei, I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven has revealed to you the candidates for the Six Saints?" Just when everyone was about to leave, Haotian suddenly asked.
Everyone paused for a moment and listened secretly. After all, Emperor Ziwei was the pillow of the Emperor of Heaven. If there was any inside information, she would definitely know it immediately.
Mrs. Ziguang maintained her usual graceful demeanor, with a slight smile on her face. She was both beautiful and noble. When she heard this, she said lightly: "I didn't take the initiative to ask His Majesty, and he didn't tell me."
King Yuqing asked curiously: "Didn't His Majesty tell you about your holy status? With your status, becoming a saint is a matter of course, right?"
Madam Ziguang glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Your Majesty has set a rule. The saints of heaven are the masters of transforming all living beings; the saints of earth are the protectors and pioneers; the emperors of humanity and the emperors of heaven govern the world. The three have their own duties, so saints cannot do it.
Great, all emperors and emperors cannot become saints. If they become saints, they will no longer be able to hold important positions in heaven or in human dynasties, so the lonely emperor will not become saints."
Everyone didn't know this saying, and they were suddenly enlightened when they heard it. It is said that when giving a sermon in Zixiao Palace, Patriarch Hongjun said the rule that saints should not be great.
Mrs. Ziguang is currently the Great Emperor Ziwei. It is said that she will be granted the title of Imperial Concubine in the near future. Her status will be even higher than that of other emperors. Naturally, she will be a big shot in heaven.
It is said that since the Emperor of Heaven became the only supreme being in the universe, the people around him have naturally become better and better. The Queen of Heaven has also become one of the supreme masters of the three realms, sharing the authority of the Emperor of Heaven and surpassing everyone else.
In the harem, under the Queen of Heaven, there are three more noble concubines of heaven, earth and people, called Concubine Tian, Concubine Wu, and Concubine Ling. They respectively symbolize the three realms of heaven, earth and people below the Emperor of Heaven. Each position has high authority and great power.
, whose status is vaguely superior to that of a saint.
Not long after this rumor spread, Wu Mo, the Heavenly Concubine of the Demon Realm, never used the word Heavenly Concubine again. Instead, she was called Demon Concubine, and no one dared to call her Heavenly Concubine anymore.
