Chapter 393: The Reincarnation of Treasures, Burning the Lamp and Become a Buddha
"Go to heaven and join the Kitchen God Department to become a god?"
Suanni murmured to himself, feeling a little surprised that the head of Emei in front of him still had a priesthood in heaven.
Because he has always been free and happy overseas and has always ignored the affairs of the heaven. In addition, the Kitchen God Division was only established in the past few years, so he really doesn't know what the Kitchen God Division does.
However, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know, and it doesn’t matter if you act like a god to others, as long as you don’t get suppressed.
Suan Ni remembered that when he was defeated by Brother Qi Yi in the East China Sea, they had said that they would suppress him for tens of thousands of years.
Every time he thought of this, he felt a little scared.
If he really had to be suppressed for so long, his Taoist heart would probably collapse.
Now the head of Emei has actually given a relatively good choice, so of course he has to accept it.
Although it is a bit embarrassing for Long Zi, who is at the peak of the immortal realm, to be a god for others, after all, these so-called gods are just subordinate gods who work beside the main god.
But losing some face is much better than having no freedom at all.
Besides, the Dragon Clan does a lot of work for Heavenly Court, and he is not the least qualified, but his status is a bit low.
And if he dares not to agree, I'm afraid there will be another treatment waiting for him.
If he really wants to be suppressed, the elders of his Dragon Clan may not cause any trouble with Jie Jiao disciples because of him, and even if he comes to propose marriage later, they will definitely not be lenient.
Rather than being suppressed, it is better to go to heaven and become a god. Isn't it just that you often need to deal with some trivial matters? It's not a big deal, just think of it as sharpening your character.
Anyway, the elders in the clan told him long ago to change his temper and temperament.
I didn't take it seriously before, but now I've provoked someone I shouldn't have provoked, and now I realize that if I don't listen to the old man's words, I'll really suffer.
Thinking of this, Suan Ni hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "I am willing to follow the master's arrangements, join the Kitchen God Division, and obey your orders."
Qi Yuan was quite satisfied with Suan Ni's understanding of current affairs, so he stopped embarrassing him and said, "In that case, please sit aside and I will take you with me when I go to heaven in a while."
"Yes, I obey."
Suanni quite consciously positioned himself as a subordinate. At this time, he no longer showed any arrogance at all.
However, he was still a little curious in his heart, who was the second brother that Head Qi mentioned earlier?
Could it be that there are other dragon clans who are also working for this person in Kitchen God Division?
But Qi Yuan didn't elaborate, and he didn't dare to ask random questions. He quickly walked to the futon next to him and sat down, so as not to interfere with the important matter of recruiting disciples.
As for the doubts in my heart, I will naturally get the answer when I go to heaven in the future.
In the palace, those children suddenly felt a little uneasy as they were suddenly in such a majestic and huge palace.
Especially the way Qi Yuan scolded Suanni with a cold face just now made these children even more nervous.
When Qi Yuan saw this, he secretly laughed in his heart. Unexpectedly, he had unintentionally established a majestic image in the hearts of these children.
But this is also a good thing, lest these children become too distracted in the future.
In the past, he only had a few disciples like Qi Yi and the others, so he could teach him whatever he wanted, since there would be few people to look after him.
But now we are recruiting dozens of disciples at once, and there will be many more disciples every year in the future. It is not appropriate to teach disciples as before.
At that moment, Qi Yuan spoke out the Emei precepts he had prepared one by one with a majestic look on his face, asking these children to remember them in their hearts.
In this regard, he formulated relatively strict precepts, intending to restrain these disciples from an early age not to violate them easily, so as not to be like the former Jie Jiao disciples, causing the sect to become a mess.
After reading out the precepts, Qi Yuan first took them to worship the icon of Lord Tongtian, then to worship the portrait of their master Zhao Gongming, and finally asked them to kowtow three times and nine times, and accepted them as his disciple.
However, he did not directly include these children in the ranks of his direct disciples, but planned to put them in the outer sect to hone their skills.
He planned to divide the disciples of the Emei Sword Sect into two sects: inner and outer.
All new disciples must join the outer sect first. In addition to practicing basic exercises every day, they also have to do some things such as chopping wood and fetching water for cooking, so as to temper their impetuous characters.
After three years, as long as these children can practice the basic skills to perfection and pass the test of loyalty from the outer sect, they will be able to enter the inner sect to practice more advanced skills.
This can not only screen out the truly outstanding disciples, but also wake up some disciples who have low qualifications, bad character, or are just playful and don't like to practice.
If they work hard and practice hard in the future, they will still be qualified to enter the inner sect in the future. If their nature is determined and they are unwilling to make changes, they can only stay in the outer sect and work.
…………
Xiniu Hezhou, a scenic spot in Lingshan.
Ran Deng sat on the lotus throne, his yellow and thin face full of bitterness.
When the two saints who led and guided Zhunti left, they left behind an edict that all the disciples of the Western Sect were headed by him.
Although the pharmacist, Maitreya and other disciples were dissatisfied with this, they did not dare to have any objections.
It stands to reason that Taoist Ran Deng has already accumulated enough, and found the direction of enlightenment during the Great Tribulation of Conferring Gods. Now, as the person in charge of a powerful religion, and blessed with great luck from the Western Cult, he should be able to achieve enlightenment and become the right one.
Saint, it is right to be respected as an ancestor.
However, after all these years, he is still half a step away from that realm.
Even if he has now switched to Western teachings, and even after combining his original Taoism and deducing the techniques to an extreme stage, he cannot go any further.
The bottleneck that had troubled him for countless years was still blocking him. Even though he could see the road ahead, he couldn't take a step forward.
Ran Deng felt that the problem might still lie with Ding Haizhu.
After he obtained the Dinghai Divine Beads, he could almost instantly confirm that the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls were innate spiritual treasures that could help him achieve enlightenment.
Unfortunately, before he could warm it in his hands, Zhao Gongming and his sister took it back.
Without the treasure of enlightenment, if he wants to take further steps, it will naturally be much slower.
But this is only one reason.
In fact, it was more that he lacked an opportunity.
What exactly this opportunity is, Randen Taoist doesn’t know.
He was very troubled by this.
Ran Deng thought about enlightening the Great Religious Tradition and spreading Western teachings to the Eastern Lands, so as to obtain more luck and merit, and perhaps break through to the realm of quasi-sage in one fell swoop.
However, the current strength of the Western Sect is relatively strong. Not only did he, Cihang, Puxian and others join in, but there were also the three thousand mortal guests from Jiejiao, plus the original Western Sect.
Those disciples are quite strong.
However, there is no ancestor in the quasi-sage realm who is in charge. If they rashly spread eastwards now, they are likely to be targeted and suppressed by some people who don't like them.
If they don't have the strength to withstand this wave of pressure by then, they will become the laughing stock of the three worlds.
When the two saints Yin and Zhunti left, the reason why they handed over the power of the Western religion to Ran Deng was certainly not because of his character.
The main thing is that I value his strength, and I also see his future, and know that he is about to become a quasi-sage, and he is enough to take on important responsibilities during this period of time.
However, Ran Deng himself has been unable to advance, which not only caused criticism among the original saint disciples of the Western Sect, but also the three thousand disciples who came from the Jie Sect's strength and were ready to make a move.
Ran Deng was very troubled by this.
So, he went down to Lingshan Mountain and walked alone on the land of Xiniu Hezhou, not only to relax his mind and relieve his tense state, but also to walk among the people, spread the teachings and accumulate followers.
Anyway, it is difficult to seize the opportunity of enlightenment while meditating on Lingshan Mountain, so it is better to walk around, maybe you can gain some understanding.
Western teachings are widely spread among the people of Hezhou, Xiniu, and there are many believers. They light lanterns along the way, lotuses grow at every step, sandalwood is everywhere, and the sound of Zen is faint, attracting countless people to come to pay their respects.
For several years, Ran Deng traveled to many places and gained many believers.
On this day, Ran Deng came to a city called Lotus City.
The lotus is a sacred object of Western religion, and this city is named after lotus. It is conceivable that the people in the city are all believers of Western religion.
Nowadays, the news about Ran Deng traveling around various countries has long been spread in Xiniu Hezhou. Naturally, many of his followers have informed him of his itinerary in advance.
Therefore, when the people in the city heard that the lanterns were coming, they immediately lined the streets to welcome them, and countless believers kowtowed.
A halo of light hung behind Ran Deng's head, emitting immeasurable light. A kind look appeared on his originally miserable face, and he walked slowly with a smile on his face, surrounded by countless followers who were following him.
While walking, suddenly, his expression changed.
Because, among the crowded crowds on both sides of the road, a young man walked out.
The young man held seven blue lotuses in his hands and presented the flowers with a pious expression.
A few lotus flowers are not noticed by Ran Deng.
However, he instinctively felt in his heart that there was something extraordinary about this young man, different from those ordinary believers.
Then a light flashed in his eyes, and he looked carefully, and immediately recognized the identity of this young man.
He turned out to be the reincarnation of Taoist Duobao.
The moment he recognized Duobao, Ran Deng was greatly touched.
He stretched out his hand to take the lotus presented to him by the young man. There seemed to be a flash of spiritual light in the sea of consciousness, illuminating the road in front of him and allowing him to see the direction of enlightenment. The light of wisdom flashed in Ran Deng's eyes, and he suddenly understood in his heart.
Enlightenment: "My way is about to be accomplished!"
He has never broken through the realm until now. The moment he saw Duobao, he suddenly realized that his opportunity was here.
Ran Deng held a lotus in one hand, stretched out the other hand, placed it on the young man's head, and said: "Good man, in the next life, you should become a Buddha, named Sakyamuni!"
This is a prophecy.
Countless believers around him were all shocked. They did not expect that this young man would be so valued by Ran Deng.
After that, Ran Deng stayed in the city for seven days, preaching Dharma and teaching sutras. During this period, he took the young man with him and served him as his disciple.
As soon as the seven days passed, Ran Deng transformed into divine light and couldn't wait to leave. He returned to Lingshan and immediately practiced in seclusion.
A few years later, immeasurable Buddha light rose up from Lingshan Mountain, reaching into the sky and shining in all directions. There were faint Zen chants spread across the heaven and earth, and golden lotuses grew in the sky.
Seeing this scene, not only countless Western believers up and down Lingshan were shocked, but also many powerful people in the three realms felt the reaction and looked in the direction of Lingshan in surprise.
