The right protector put his hands on his hips and looked up to the sky with a sneer: "You bald donkeys have their own way of doing things. I can scold you for not wearing your clothes for three days and three nights!"
A Bodhisattva sneered: "Xue Bi'e, you only have one mouth left!"
"Ignore them."
The old Tathagata from Mount Sumeru said: "If we continue to scold them, I'm afraid it will only last half a year. We have been fighting for hundreds of years in the past, and we have been scolding them for hundreds of years. There is no need to rush. Let's stop this fight first."
The monks all over the mountain did not stop, and the phantom of Mount Sumeru floated towards the battlefield.
The Imperial Master of Yankang was still fighting with Poor Master and others, trying to get rid of these powerful men before the phantom of Mount Xumi arrived. At this time, the voice of the old Tathagata came, and he said leisurely: "National Master, fellow Taoists, can you do it?"
A convenience?”
Imperial Master Yankang dispersed his sword energy, avoided the pursuit of the poor master and the man in the bronze mask, and said with a smile: "Tathagata, please speak."
"Excellent, fellow Taoists, please stop." Old Tathagata said in a deep voice.
The poor master and others were still waiting to take action, but after hearing this, they hesitated and each of them paused.
Tian Zhenjun coughed up blood, and his heart and lungs were injured by Yankang's sword energy. He said sharply: "Old Tathagata, do you plan to join hands with us to get rid of this beast?"
The old Tathagata shook his head.
Li Sanren's expression changed slightly and he sneered: "Could it be that the Great Leiyin Temple is like the Demon Sect and has become a lackey of the Yankang Kingdom?"
The old Tathagata shook his head again.
The poor master said calmly: "Old Taoist brother, stop being so secretive and say what you have to say."
The old Tathagata chuckled and said: "I'm here to make a good deal with you and settle this public case. You are all practitioners. If you continue to fight, I don't know how many heroes will be lost and how many inheritances will be cut off. Why don't you all today?
Turn conflicts into friendship, make peace and end the cause and effect of each other?"
Imperial Master Yankang's eyes flashed and he remained silent.
The old Tathagata looked at him and said with a smile: "The National Master is a good man. He once came to my Great Leiyin Temple. I talked about Buddhism and Mahayana with the National Master, and we formed a good relationship. I don't know if the National Master can use this good thing.
Return the fate to the old monk?"
Imperial Master Yankang said solemnly: "When I was still young, I traveled far and wide, and when I arrived at the Great Leiyin Temple, Tathagata, who had no sect knowledge, guided me in my practice. I was considered a half disciple of the Great Leiyin Temple, so I should return this good fate.
However, how do I know whether I am letting the tiger return to the mountain? These people are the bandit leaders in the world, how can they be willing to let it go? If they rebel again in the future, their lives will be ruined. The Tathagata is compassionate, so you should know my worries."
The old Tathagata smiled and said: "The old monk asked them to convert to Daleiyin Temple and stop interfering in worldly affairs. What does the national master think?"
Imperial Master Yankang was noncommittal.
The old Tathagata smiled, looked at the poor master and others, and said with a smile: "You were all heroes back then, with unrivaled magnificence. You have been tyrannical and glorious all your life. Now are you willing to put down your war and convert to Buddhism?"
Tian Zhenjun sneered: "Old Tathagata, if we add your Great Thunder Sound Temple, it will not be easy to destroy this beast? Do you think that if you let this opportunity pass, your Great Thunder Sound Temple can also be preserved? Yankang Guoshi has been destroyed.
We will definitely destroy the Buddha! Why don't you kill him now and use your methods to conquer the devil?"
The old Tathagata smiled and said: "No matter how the National Master treats our Buddhist sect, there are still people in this world who believe in Buddha and worship Buddha. No matter whether there are gods and Buddhas in this world, the faith is still there, and it will not be destroyed just because the National Master destroys our Buddhist sect."
, and will not be honored because the master of the country promotes my Buddhism. If you are willing to put aside your grudges and fight, then let me go. If you are not willing, the old monk can only say that there is no chance and resign."
Suddenly, figures fell sharply from the sky and landed behind the Yankang Imperial Preceptor. They were hundreds of Yankang Imperial Generals wearing armor and covered in blood. Each one of them had a fierce fighting spirit.
Duke Wei said in a loud voice: "What's the matter? Tathagata is here to join in the fun? Do you want to beat the autumn wind? Imperial Master, let's do this old monk and these bald men all over the mountains and plains together..."
Imperial Master Yankang raised his hand to stop him from talking, and said in a low voice: "It is not appropriate for both sides to suffer losses. It is a good thing that Lao Tathagata has come to make peace."
Duke Wei was puzzled and didn't understand what he meant, and said: "They just want to fight the autumn wind and take advantage of the opportunity to bring these rebellious leaders into the Great Leiyin Temple to increase the strength of the Great Leiyin Temple. These rebellious leaders are all very powerful.
If you let them go, you will let the tiger return to the mountain and cause endless trouble! Imperial Master, think twice!"
Imperial Master Yankang smiled and said: "The Old Tathagata said that after they converted to Buddhism, they no longer interfered with worldly affairs. I believe in the Old Tathagata."
"Do you really believe him?"
Duke Wei's eyes widened: "If you don't have hair on your head, you won't be able to do things well..."
Before he could say anything more, Imperial Master Yankang raised his hand and said calmly: "Old Tathagata, the leader of the Buddhist sect, came to resolve the grievances, end a dispute, and bring peace to the world. This is a great act of kindness. Moreover, I was also injured."
On Mount Sumeru, there was a Bodhisattva. When the Arhats heard this, they all turned their heads to look at it.
The old Tathagata chanted the Buddha's name to alert the Bodhisattvas and Arhats, and said with a smile: "The master is willing to resolve the grudges, poor master, what about you?"
The poor master and others looked at each other and nodded silently.
If they do not agree to convert to Buddhism, Old Tathagata will not save them and will leave with many powerful people from Daleiyin Temple. They will surely die in the hands of Yankang Imperial Master.
This time Lao Tathagata brought almost all the powerful people from Daleiyin Temple, indicating that they were bound to win. If they agreed to convert to Daleiyin Temple, Yankang Imperial Master would not dare to pursue them.
The old Tathagata smiled and said: "Brothers and sisters, please put aside your grudges and karma and take refuge in Buddhism. If all four elements are lost, you will surely attain enlightenment. National Master..."
Imperial Master Yankang raised his hand and pointed at the man in the bronze mask and said: "Tathagata, he must stay."
The man in the bronze mask felt awe-inspiring, the old Tathagata frowned slightly, and the Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Venerables on the shadow of Mount Sumeru chanted the Buddha's name in unison.
Imperial Master Yankang smiled and said: "He must stay."
Although his voice was light, there was an unquestionable and unnegotiable tone in his tone.
The old Tathagata sighed: "Good man, you have no connection with our Buddhist sect. Poor master, brothers and sisters, please go up the mountain."
The poor master and others hesitated for a moment, looked at the bronze masked man, suddenly gritted their teeth, stood up and landed on Mount Xumi, saying in unison to the bronze masked man: "Old...I'm sorry!"
"You don't need to say much, I understand everything."
The man in the bronze mask laughed and said, "National Master, what are you going to do with me?"
Imperial Master Yankang said expressionlessly: "I will capture you and escort you to the capital to face the Holy Spirit."
"Take me to the capital to see the emperor?"
The man in the bronze mask had a strange tone, and said with a low smile: "Then let's see if your sword is fast enough..."
He slowly raised his palm and suddenly slapped it hard on the bronze mask. The bronze mask fell into pieces, and the face under the mask was also smashed to pieces!
"National Master, the Ling family's empire will be destroyed sooner or later in your hands..."
His head split open and he soon died, but his body stood firmly there and never fell.
Duke Wei and others screamed and hurried forward, but Imperial Master Yankang stood there motionless. He did not take action to stop the man in the bronze mask from committing suicide, and he did not even have the intention to take action.
On the mountain in the distance, Qin Mu's eyes twitched when he saw this scene.
What Yankang Imperial Master said was actually to force the man in the bronze mask to commit suicide. No matter who the face was under the mask, he must be a high-ranking member of the royal family, with a distinguished status, and a person of vital importance to the emperor.
If he were captured alive by the Yankang Imperial Master and taken to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit, it would not only be an embarrassing issue for the emperor, but would even alienate the emperor and his ministers.
Whether the emperor kills him or not is a question.
If his true identity is exposed, the emperor's prestige will be severely damaged, and even the government and the public will secretly discuss whether he intends to rebel or whether he has the emperor's instructions.
At that time, the Yankang Imperial Preceptor's prestige surpassed that of the emperor, causing more civil and military ministers to turn to the Imperial Preceptor, and the emperor would also be wary of the Imperial Preceptor. If the emperor fought with the Imperial Preceptor, the country would be in danger, and the Ling family would also be in danger.
As a senior member of the royal family, he must commit suicide. He cannot keep the Ling family in a passive position or let the Ling family lose face.
Therefore, he must destroy his face so that no one can know his true identity.
However, Imperial Master Yankang did not stop him. He also wanted him to commit suicide and did not want to escort him to the capital to face the saint. Even if he did not destroy his own face, Imperial Master Yankang would help him destroy his face.
Imperial Master Yankang did not want to disgrace the emperor, nor did he want to disgrace the Ling family. This was the best outcome.
If Imperial Master Yankang really escorted this bronze masked man to the capital, it would mean that he really wanted to rebel and seize the throne. From the current point of view, Imperial Master Yankang has no intention of taking the throne. He just wants to use Yankang Kingdom to realize his ambitions. He
I want to achieve three establishments and three immortalities.
He wants to become a saint.
On Mount Sumeru, the Tathagata paid homage to Imperial Master Yankang and said, "Master Yankang, it's over here. The old monk is leaving."
"Tathagata, walk slowly." Imperial Master Yankang returned the greeting.
The phantom of Mount Sumeru floated to the west. Poor Master, Tian Zhenjun and others looked back, only to see Imperial Master Yankang ordering someone to cut off the head of the man in the bronze mask and bury it on the spot, while the headless body was put into a coffin and prepared to be transported to
Beijing.
Li Sanren sighed: "Brother Tathagata, if it weren't for you this time..."
The old Tathagata shook his head: "Needless to say, the national master is already dissatisfied with my Great Leiyin Temple. Let's go back to the mountain. I guess my evil disciple has taken the opportunity to return to the Great Leiyin Temple and take away his arm. What if?
If you go back in time, you can still meet him."
The monks on the mountain were filled with awe.
The phantom of Mount Xumi floated to the top of the mountain where Qin Mu and others were, and another sneer came from below: "Bald thief!"
The Bodhisattvas and Arhats on the mountain shouted one after another: "The demonic path is an obstacle!"
The old Tathagata shook his head, paused from Mount Sumeru, looked down, and suddenly clasped his hands together and said: "Senior brother."
There were many hall masters on the mountain, and the guardians were awe-inspiring. The master of the sword hall shook his head gently at Qin Mu. Qin Mu waved his hand and said: "Senior brother."
The old Tathagata looked surprised, nodded, and led everyone away.
"Leader, why do you need to return the favor to that old bald donkey?"
Xue Bi'e, the right protector, complained: "Now that my true identity has been exposed, and the old thief Tu Tu sees me, trouble will surely arise!"
"As the leader of the Holy Cult, since he is treated as an equal, he cannot help but return the favor."
Qin Mu smiled and said: "I am the leader of the Holy Cult and I cannot keep it secret forever. Moreover, I cannot let you lose face and the Holy Cult lose face."
Everyone said one after another: "We would rather not have this face!"
