What bad intentions can a temple blessing have?

Chapter 522: The Buddha's Protector

"Tons, tons, tons..."

Dao Ji seemed not to have heard Jiang Qi's question at all. He just kept drinking. After a long time, he burped happily.

"Hiccup~~"

“Great wine!!”

Dao Ji shook his head in amazement, carefully licked the last drop of nectar from the bottle, and smacked his lips with satisfaction.

Jiang Qi was not annoyed, but just said softly: "Master, you should know that this crude method will not affect anything."

"Amitabha……"

Dao Ji lazily lay on the well mouth, and said with drunken eyes: "My Lord, I have met you a few times, can I..."

"Master, don't talk about impossible things."

Jiang Qi interrupted Dao Ji, sat beside him and said, "My teacher once said: There are countless people in Buddhism, but only a few of them are worthy of our attention."

"Dao Ji should be one of them."

"I strongly agree with this."

Jiang Qi said seriously: "There are many Buddhist disciples, but few can catch my eye and be respected by me."

"The former Arhat who subdued the dragon, and today's Zen Master Dao Ji, is one of them."

"Master, please don't let me look down on you."

Dao Ji remained silent, his fingers unconsciously stroking the palm-leaf fan in his hand.

“I am a monk.”

Dao Ji raised his head, no longer drunk at all, his eyes were extremely clear, with a very determined look inside, as if there was a dark dragon buried inside.

“There are some things that I must do and must persist in.”

Jiang Qi nodded without surprise. If Dao Ji could be so easily persuaded by just two or three words from him, he would not have been regarded as the only protector by Tathagata.

That’s right, if we count the entire Buddhist community today, there is only one person who Tathagata can trust absolutely and who will definitely not let down in this matter.

That was Dao Ji in front of Jiang Qi.

Dao Ji is a pure and simple Buddhist. He does not take sides and will never be loyal to any particular Buddha.

He only follows his own path and cultivates his own Buddha.

But it is precisely because of this that Tathagata feels more at ease.

Because Dao Ji was a pure Buddhist, it was impossible for him to put Tathagata's reincarnation in any danger.

That’s right, Dao Ji will not be loyal to any Buddha, but he will never sit idly by and watch Buddhism suffer damage.

For Buddhism today, Tathagata Buddha is the unquestionable foundation.

In order to preserve this foundation, even though Dao Ji knew that it was Tathagata Buddha who was using him, he had to be used.

Jiang Qi was very clear about this.

But just as Jiang Qi said, there are not many people in Buddhism whom he respects, but Dao Ji is definitely one of them.

Therefore, as long as there is a chance, Jiang Qi will give it a try.

Even before he opened his mouth, Jiang Qi already knew the result.

"Ugh……"

Jiang Qi sighed and said, "Master, I cannot turn a blind eye to the hatred that blocks my path."

Previously, in the Jieqi small world, Jiang Qi was almost ruined by the arrangement of Tathagata Buddha, and there was no way Jiang Qi would not avenge this.

What's more, Taoism and Buddhism are incompatible.

Even if it were Jiang Qi and Tathagata, even because of his own position, Jiang Qi had to do something.

Not to mention, this time it can be said that Tathagata took advantage of Jiang Qi.

As the Buddha of Buddhism, it is impossible for him not to be aware of Wu Tian’s specific background, and it is impossible for him not to see that the Two Saints of the West are involved behind all this.

So Tathagata reincarnated to overcome the calamity, leaving behind Wujitian as a scourge.

He knew very well that Wu Tian's existence was a cancer to Taoism and to the Heavenly Court.

Therefore, the Heavenly Court and Taoism will not turn a blind eye.

As long as these two families take action to get rid of Wutan, then by then, he will still be the Buddha of Buddhism.

And it can also further control Buddhism.

Because in the matter of Wu Tian, ​​the two saints of the West will inevitably be suppressed.

In the past, Taoist Duobao knew very well what methods the Three Pure Ones would use.

Although Jiang Qi, the Three Pure Ones and the Great Heavenly Venerable knew this, they still had to take action.

Because they really can't tolerate Wu Tian's existence.

In the current situation, it seems that the biggest winners are the Heavenly Court and Taoism represented by Jiang Qi.

But in fact, one of the final winners should also be Tathagata Buddha. "Devil Lord of Heaven and Earth Thirty-three Days."

Jiang Qi said softly: "Now, thirty days have passed. In another three days, Tathagata will return and take charge of Buddhism again."

"By then, the master's status will rise."

"Ananda and Kasyapa, the two attendants of the Tathagata, the latter went to the heaven beyond heaven, and the former had his spirit polluted by Avalokitesvara, and now they have turned to ashes."

"This vacant position must belong to you, Master."

"Congratulations, Master, you are about to reach the top."

Dao Ji listened to Jiang Qi's words. How could he not hear the sarcasm in them?

Yes, he had no intention of arguing and only wanted to cultivate his own Buddhahood, but it was precisely because of this that he was a Buddhist after all.

We must and will protect the reincarnation of Tathagata.

Even though he knew very well that this was a quagmire, he would step into it without hesitation.

Just as he is doing now.

"Can I use my life to calm the anger of the Immortal Lord?"

Dao Ji asked seriously.

If Jiang Qi nodded, he would really commit suicide here the next moment and would never be resurrected.

"Master, I have no grudge against you."

Jiang Qi shook his head slightly.

Dao Ji fell silent. Of course he understood the implication of Jiang Qi's words.

I, Jiang Qi, have no grudges against you. You have no weight to me in this matter.

"Just kill me."

Dao Ji closed his eyes. He knew what Jiang Qi meant, but he absolutely could not reveal the whereabouts of the Buddha's reincarnation.

"Master, I don't want to go this far, but..."

Jiang Qi sighed and raised his hand. In his hand was the power of cause and effect that belonged to him alone.

He placed his hand over Dao Ji's head.

"Buzz!"

Along with a buzzing sound, Dao Ji's expression changed slightly.

His karma was taken away by Jiang Qi!
Jiang Qi said expressionlessly: "Master, you have taken over the karma of the Buddha's protector. Since Master doesn't want to talk about it, I can only find another way to transfer this karma to someone else."

"I guess not everyone is like the master."

Dao Ji shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is wrong..."

"Master, what you want to say is that this cause and effect cannot be undertaken by everyone. It must be recognized by Buddhism, right?"

Jiang Qi interrupted Dao Ji and flicked his sleeves without even turning his head.

A figure appeared in front of Dao Ji.

Dao Ji just took a look and suddenly looked sad.

"I have no intention to meet the Zen master."

Wu Xin smiled and saluted Dao Ji. At this moment, he had changed out of his monk's robes and put on a Taoist robe, but his head was still bald.

Jiang Qi said: "I think the Buddhist disciples in the past had this kind of weight."

After saying that, Jiang Qi transferred Dao Ji's karma to Wu Xin without waiting for Dao Ji to react.

"Turning the world upside down!"

As Jiang Qi's imperial order was activated, the cause and effect belonging to Dao Ji completely belonged to Wu Xin.

Wuxin closed his eyes tightly, as if he was patrolling something.

Dao Ji opened his mouth but said nothing.

Jiang Qi's method undoubtedly took advantage of a loophole.

But this loophole should not exist. Even if the cause and effect of his being a protector is transferred, only an existence truly recognized by Buddhism can take it over.

Such an existence, like Dao Ji, would never reveal the whereabouts of the Buddha's reincarnation.

but……

Dao Ji had heard about Wuxin's incident a long time ago.

It was Buddhism that gave up on being free from mind, and it was Buddhism itself that created this loophole.

After a long time, Wu Xin opened his eyes in Dao Ji's complicated expression.

Facing Jiang Qi's gaze, he spoke without hesitation.
