Chapter 5 of Chaoge: New Rules Explained in Yuxu Palace
Li Ping'an took Dong Wang and others to the Tushita Palace on the second day.
When——when——
The bells in Yuxu Palace were ringing loudly.
The remaining nine of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao left the attic palace where they practiced and retreated at almost the same time, and flew towards the main hall of Yuxu Palace.
Guangchengzi was also a little confused.
He is the bell-strike immortal of Yuxu Palace. If he hadn't struck the bell, who would dare to strike the bell to summon the jade-xu immortals?
Guangchengzi took a closer look and saw the Antarctic Immortal.
That's okay.
The Antarctic Immortal's status within the sect is almost equal to that of the deputy leader, or even slightly higher than the deputy leader.
After the ancient Sanqing Dynasty separated, Yuanshi Tianzun guarded Sanqing's small courtyard in Kunlun Mountain alone. Yuxu Palace had not been built at that time, and Yuanshi Tianzun obviously fell into a state of emptiness and boredom.
It was also thanks to the Antarctic Immortal, the first disciple of the Chan Cult, who played chess, drank tea, and chatted with Yuanshi Tianzun, and accompanied Yuanshi Tianzun through those boring years.
Only then did the subsequent teachings flourish.
Strictly speaking, Guangchengzi was only the second disciple. He was originally responsible for ringing the bell. Later, when the Antarctic Immortal failed to join the Twelve Golden Immortals, he became the head of the Twelve Golden Immortals and began to worry about explaining the teachings.
After a while, the figures in the main hall of Yuxu Palace were shaking.
Except for a few disciples who disappeared before, all the immortals from the Chan Sect have basically gathered here.
All the immortals took their seats and waited quietly for the leader to appear.
But they waited and waited, the deputy leader of Ran Deng and the Antarctic Immortal had already appeared, and even Yun Zhongzi, who had lived in heaven for a long time, had returned to form the lineup of the Golden Immortal of the Three Merits of Chanjiao, but Yuanshi Tianzun still did not show up. .
About two hours passed.
Master Taiyi couldn't help but mutter: "What's going on? Where is the teacher?"
"Don't say too much," the deputy leader of Randen said slowly.
Master Taiyi curled his lips and said, "Why don't you let anyone talk anymore? The deputy leader is so stubborn now. He has really cleared up the fact that he is a subordinate of Old Man Wanri."
Ran Deng frowned and looked over.
On the side, Master Huanglong quickly pulled Taiyi and said, "Don't mention this matter. Try not to mention it, otherwise Ping An will feel uncomfortable again."
"Why is peace so uncomfortable?"
Master Taiyi put his hands in his sleeves, his red robe looked quite eye-catching, and he said with a smile:
"Ping'an is now the master of heaven and earth, the hero of salvation. What's even better is that the Father of Heaven is still alive, so Ping'an doesn't feel too uncomfortable.
"What is perfect calculation?
"It's just pity for our deputy leader, we didn't gain anything."
Ran Deng's face turned slightly dark, and he frowned and said: "The transcendent person is the world-destroying demon. Although Pindao was forced to guard his coffin before, he was only performing his own duties. The leader of the church knew the details of Pindao a long time ago. Pindao We have already made many efforts to prevent the transcendent beings from destroying the world, but the success or failure cannot be evaluated."
"What are the details?" Master Taiyi smiled and said, "What exactly did the deputy leader do? Why, as far as Pindao knows, the deputy leader often interacts with Wei Liusun, and also has close contacts with Manjusri and Samantabhadra. The three of them have confirmed It is the chess piece of the Transcendent, and it is created by the Transcendent himself... Could it be that the Transcendent forgot to take away the deputy leader, or maybe he felt that some of the thrown meat was smelly or rotten?"
Ran Deng glared at Taiyi Zhenren: "Taiyi! What do you mean!"
"Nothing else," Master Taiyi said calmly, "I just feel that the deputy leader has a strange background and behaves strangely. I will ask the deputy leader to prove himself today!"
Master Yuding was watching with a smile.
Guangchengzi hesitated to speak, but finally chose to listen quietly.
Taoist Ran Deng frowned tightly.
After all, it was the Antarctic Immortal who spoke: "Junior brother Taiyi, don't embarrass the deputy leader like this. The deputy leader has no intention of caring about heaven and earth. Although he was frightened by the power of the transcendent before, he only gave many reminders to the teacher, but he also
Those who do not support transcendence will perish."
Qingxu Daodezhen suddenly smiled and said: "Senior brother, what is the relationship between the deputy leader and the transcendent one?"
"Yes, senior brother," Huang Long also said, "We are unable to clear up the blame of the detached people, but the world has developed to the current stage, and the detached people cannot escape the blame. Now that the detached people have retreated, we cannot hold the detached people accountable, so they should be eradicated.
There are hidden dangers, not to mention that the catastrophe has not disappeared, but the chess player behind it is missing."
Yuding said: "When we couldn't see hope before, we could just muddle along because we would lose in the end. But now that we have hope, some things have to be made clear."
A group of second-generation disciples of Chanjiao looked at Ran Deng at the same time.
Taoist Ran Deng closed his eyes and sighed softly.
Before he could speak, Taoist Cihang couldn't help but sigh slightly: "The deputy leader is not a pawn of the transcendent. On the contrary, he often advises us to be patient and not to succumb to the transcendent."
"What does Cihang mean by this?" Guangchengzi asked with a frown.
Taoist Cihang bowed forward, stood up and said, "Senior Brother, fellow senior fellow apprentices, and fellow disciples, I am actually one of the chess pieces of the Transcendent One."
You can hear a needle drop in Yuxu Palace.
Cihang sighed softly:
"I am different from several other disciples. I got to know them in ancient times, and later became Taoist friends who traveled with them. Then I gradually came into contact with things here. I only know what I want to do, what I can get, and probably
That is... to become a great master in Buddhism, everything is planned and arranged by the transcendent ones.
"When I finally woke up, I could no longer escape the control of the transcendent being.
"He knew the impure thoughts in my heart and set restrictions in my soul. From then on, I was controlled by him, and my Taoist heart suffered every day.
"Although the deputy leader Ran Deng knows that we are subordinates of a transcendent person, he is not a subordinate of a transcendent person. On the contrary, he will advise us to have more respect for the teacher and be less enthusiastic about the West.
"He often said that those who transcend are actually on the verge of self-destruction. Looking at it now, it is not the slightest bit false."
The immortals of Chanjiao nodded slightly.
Guangchengzi said slowly: "What do you fellow juniors think about this matter?"
The immortals who had attacked Ran Deng just now were unable to explain why at this moment.
Without him, Cihang did not do anything evil.
Ran Deng had often stood up before, gesticulating on academic affairs, and often pointed out Jie Jiao, intentionally leading the Immortal Chan Jie into disputes.
If Cihang Taoists have problems, they actually think there are not many problems. A gentleman talks about his deeds but not his heart.
But if they say that there is nothing wrong with burning lanterns... they actually don't quite believe it.
"Junior Sister Cihang, why are you getting involved here?" Master Huang Long sighed, "You are kind-hearted, considerate of all sentient beings, and have a compassionate heart. Everyone in the teachings knows about this."
Cihang smiled bitterly and said: "This is not what my senior brother saw. When a few of them did some evil things and deliberately instigated the Immortal Interceptor, I would be there... Please punish me, senior brother, and don't disturb the teacher with my actions."
"this……"
Guangchengzi pondered endlessly.
The deputy leader of Randen sighed: "Today they are going to attack Pindao. It has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved in this."
Cihang pursed his lips and said nothing.
Suddenly I heard laughter coming from the side: "Master uncles, what are you talking about?"
Li Ping'an's voice came from outside the door of Yuxu Palace.
The immortals were stunned for a moment.
None of them discovered Li Ping'an's Tao Yun.
There was a faint flicker of light at the door, and two groups of light and shadow condensed into human shapes. Li Ping'an and Li Dazhi appeared together and stepped inside.
The immortals from the Chan Sect hurried forward to greet him, and the scene suddenly became a bit chaotic.
In other words, Yun Zhongzi, who was Li Ping'an's second teacher, and the ashen-faced Taoist Ran Deng, were still in their high positions at the moment.
The Antarctic Immortal, Guangchengzi, led the Immortals of Chanjiao on one left and one on the right, bowing their heads and bowing:
"Meet the Taoist Master."
"Masters and uncles, please get up."
Li Ping'an raised his hand to help, and all the immortals stood up in unison.
Guangchengzi asked with a smile: "I wonder why the Lord and fellow Taoist Dazhi came?"
The Antarctic Immortal Old Man hurriedly said: "Teacher just now sent word to Pindao to summon all the disciples. It is because His Majesty and the Heavenly Emperor Father have important matters to come here. The teacher will not show up today. Everything will be decided by Junior Brother Guangchengzi."
Guangchengzi was startled for a moment, and then his eyes became a little brighter.
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "There are indeed several important things that I came here to do today. The first is related to the deputy leader Ran Deng and Master Cihang. The second is related to Master Antarctic Xianweng. The third is to find you and talk about it.
The rules of this Conferred God Competition.”
The immortals who explained the teaching looked at each other in confusion.
The Conferring Contest of Gods, this matter has not passed yet? Didn’t it mean that they went to Tusita Palace to compete?
Li Dazhi smiled and cupped his hands: "Fellow Taoists, why don't you let us go in and talk?"
"Please come quickly," Guangchengzi showed off his master's style, "Master Taoist, please take a seat."
Li Pingan did not refuse.
Although everything he has now basically comes from the inheritance of the transcendent, but... He has done everything in harmony, and the biggest fruit in the world has been picked by him, so he doesn't have to be so cautious about everything.
.
He sat in front of the saint's throne, while Li Dazhi and the immortals of Chanjiao were 'mingling' below.
After all the immortals sat down on the futon, Li Pingan looked at the burning lantern and said slowly:
"Vice-leader, is there anything else you want to say now?"
Ran Deng closed his eyes and sighed.
Doesn't he still understand?
First, Taiyi, the ugliest guy, made an attack, then the main disciples of Chan taught to fight against and exclude him, and now he brought out the Taoist master of Hedao;
Doesn't this mean that he has finished using him as the transcendent person's coffin keeper and wants to withdraw from the Chan Sect?
Ran Deng sneered and said calmly: "Pindao has a clear conscience. Whatever you want to do, just do it. Pindao will not lose his dignity and make a fuss in Kunlun Mountain."
"You can't say that."
Li Ping'an looked at Cihang, his voice was neither fast nor slow, but it carried a certain sense of power:
"Fellow Taoist is not a pawn of the transcendent. I have confirmed this, and the Chaos Clock can attest to this.
"But this is not a reason for Taoist friends to have a clear conscience.
"One thing here is actually...the transcendent person feels that there is no point in arranging and plotting against fellow Taoists, because what the fellow Taoists do is in line with what they want."
Taoist Ran Deng was startled for a moment.
Li Pingan sighed:
"Since ancient times, fellow Taoist disciples have become increasingly dissatisfied with the Jiejiao religion, and have constantly reported to the master about the transcendent beings. This is actually what the transcendent beings want, and he is putting pressure on the second strongest person in the heaven and earth camp through fellow Taoists.
"So I don't want to use this kind of thing to do anything for you today, because you really want to help the heaven and earth camp.
"It's just good intentions that lead to bad things."
The veins on Ran Deng Taoist's forehead popped out.
He almost couldn't hold back and cursed directly.
Li Dazhi smiled and said: "Deputy Leader Ran Deng often had troubles with the Jie Jiao Immortals before. He must have really disliked them, and he also knew that there were many transcendent spies among the Jie Jiao."
Li Ping'an said: "None of this can be hidden from Heaven... Fellow Taoist, you do have some sins, but I don't want to ask you about your sins today. After all, you are not bad, just a little..."
Master Taiyi muttered: "Stupid."
"Taiyi!" Ran Deng shouted angrily.
Taiyi Zhenren: "A poor Taoist will not lose his dignity and make a big fuss in Kunlun Mountain."
"伱!"
The Antarctic Immortal smiled and said: "Okay, don't let the Taoist Master see the joke. How does the Taoist Master think the deputy leader should deal with himself in the future?"
"My father is short of two helpers," Li Ping'an said sternly, "Father is rectifying Lingshan. It would be great if Chanjiao could send two highly respected, capable and compassionate masters."
Li Dazhi nodded: "That's right, I'm going to create a new model, called New Western Religion, to spread truth, goodness, and love in the world."
Most of the immortals who explained the teachings were smiling.
Taoist Cihang took the initiative and said, "Thank you so much for your generosity, Taoist Master. I am willing to listen to your advice."
The deputy leader of Ran Deng slowly closed his eyes, stood up, rode on the clouds, and floated outside the hall.
All the immortals bid farewell with their eyes.
Li Dazhi stood up and said: "Then I will first contact fellow Taoist monk Ran Deng. This fellow Taoist is also very familiar with the Western Sect. It would be perfect for him to come to suppress the Western Sect, hahahaha!"
He laughed heartily, turned around and drifted away.
The Dapeng bird quickly followed, obeyed Li Ping'an's order, and protected Li Dazhi Zhouquan personally.
There is no way, Li Dazhi's cultivation level is not too high.
When Li Dazhi, Ran Deng, and Cihang left together in the clouds, Li Ping'an's smile gradually faded and he said seriously:
"The second thing is that there are three missing people among the Four Imperial Guards in Heaven, and only the Great Virtue Queen Tu.
"The Antarctic Immortal has deep blessings and abundant virtues. He is in charge of the longevity of living beings. Today, I will invite my uncle to the heaven to be the Antarctic Immortal Emperor. I don't know what my uncle will do."
The Antarctic Immortal stood up and saluted, and solemnly said: "Thank you so much, Taoist Master, for your love. I should do my best to find a way to live longer for living beings."
"good."
Li Ping'an nodded slightly, raised his left hand, and a golden decree flew out of his sleeve, fell into the hands of the Antarctic Immortal, and turned into a peach wood staff.
But even the divine artifacts were directly condensed.
Of course, some heavenly merits have been spent here, but now that the heavenly family has great achievements and merits, Li Ping'an doesn't have to count his days like before.
"The next thing is the third thing."
Li Pingan muttered for a few times:
"What I originally thought was that the Great Tribulation of the Gods would be decoupled from the change of mortal dynasties. Laojun also said before that the Great Tribulation of the Gods would have to be discussed by the Three Purities.
"After all, the discussion was completed yesterday. I am here to introduce to all my uncles and uncles the matters decided by the three saints."
All the immortals could not help but hold their breath and concentrate.
Master Huanglong said in confusion: "Didn't you say that it's just a fight?"
"It's just a simple battle without making any contribution to heaven and earth. How can you become an official in heaven?"
Li Pingan smiled and said:
"We redefined it a little bit.
"That is, participating in great tribulations, resolving catastrophes, and finding a wise master for all sentient beings is considered a contribution.
"The essence of this catastrophe is still a competition. Later I will leave behind one hundred and twenty incarnations of merit. Each incarnation of merit has only the strength of a true immortal. In Nanzhou, it can exert less than the fighting power of an immortal.
"This is what you rely on to participate in the Great Tribulation of the Gods.
"The Jiejiao side has the same idea, they only give one hundred and twenty incarnations of merit.
"You can arrange these incarnations at will later, but each incarnation can only be bound to one immortal, so there is a quota for the competition. In the end, based on the points obtained by both parties in the Conferring God Tribulation, the winner of the Conferring God Tribulation will be determined.
Whoever loses wins.
"In this process, the person who transforms into a war dead must physically enter the list of gods, enter the Heavenly Court as an official, work for 300 days every year, rest for 60 days, and follow the rules of heaven.
"The side that loses the final total points will be selected by the Heavenly Court to select twenty masters in the sect, and everyone below the saint must obey."
Li Ping'an's left hand passed gently, and there were one hundred and twenty faceless, transparent figures at the door.
He looked at the confused Chanjiao immortals and said slowly:
"This is something that my uncle, my ancestor, and my great-uncle have finally discussed. You don't have to think about rejecting it.
"As for how many people have been enlightened and who uses which incarnation, I don't care at all.
"Okay, let's discuss it. I'll go to Biyou Palace to announce the rules."
Li Pingan stood up to leave, and Master Huang Long suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute, Pingan! Cough, Taoist Master!"
"Hmm? Master Huanglong, is there anything else you don't know about?"
"That's right, why does Fengshen have to fight?"
"Recover the great road and strengthen the heaven."
Li Pingan sighed:
"This is just a guarantee for all sentient beings.
"Opening up the realm of the star sea in the future is the only way to survive the final catastrophe.
"If I cannot reach the realm of transcendence, I need heaven to gather the power of all sentient beings to open up a new world together.
"Don't get me wrong, we don't need to sacrifice any living beings this time, and the reincarnation disk can be retained. After opening up a new world, I will give freedom to the gods on the list of gods."
All the immortals nodded and stood up to salute again.
When Li Ping'an said this, they realized that the ensuing Conferring the Gods was no longer a matter of life and death, but a matter of face about who loses and who wins.
