Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 995: Turn around and find the shore
"That's how it should be." The face of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor also darkened.

Although many disciples of the Jie Sect entered the Heavenly Court during the Investiture of the Gods, their influence extended to every corner of the Heavenly Court.

After the system of positions stabilized, the first person to emerge in the Chan Sect was the Great Emperor Taiyi of the Eastern Azure Flower Sect.

Then came the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, the True Emperor of the South Pole.

These two are both among the Five Emperors, respectively suppressing the Eastern Continent and the Southern Continent.

Furthermore, since Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun is the first deity in the immortal path, the Chan Sect naturally has a great advantage and influence in the immortal path.

The three schools of Taoism are: Ren (人), Chan (阐), and Jie (截).

Although the sect that does the most work in the world is the Jie Sect.

However, the one with the greatest influence, the true leader of the Xuanmen sect, and the one who mediates the rotation of various sects, is still the Chan Sect!

That is why it is also the Chan sect that 'educates and enlightens heaven and earth'!
"Let's put aside the situation between heaven and earth for now."

"Let's first go through the fundamental lineage of our Chan School from top to bottom."

"Whether it's Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace, or the lineage of my fellow disciples."

“Even to the separate transmission of the orthodox tradition.”

“Secondary transmissions, etc.”

"Go through everything!"

"But anyone who violates the sect rules will be dealt with according to the sect rules, no matter who pleads for them!" said the Antarctic Longevity Emperor.

In the past, among the immortals and gods under the Chan Sect, there were also those who violated the sect's rules.

Even with Yang Jian as a supervisor, the Antarctic Longevity Emperor and his followers were still quite cautious when dealing with these disciples of the Chan Sect.

They would never reveal the process of dealing with their disciples to others.

After all, the Chan sect needs to maintain its 'cleanliness'.

As leaders of the mystical sects in the world, if their own existence is not clean enough, their decisions in the world will naturally be difficult to convince the people.

In the past, Yang Jian, as the God of Justice, walked between heaven and earth, and when he enforced the law, he certainly received great support from the Chan Sect.

Even when he went to the Daoist temples of some Great Luo Immortals to arrest people, or when he went to block the gates of other Sage sects, the Chan Sect would provide support and intervene to negotiate...

Even those demons of the Southern Continent who are not subject to the Heavenly Court's rules or the system of rank, such as the Antarctic Longevity Emperor who guards the Southern Continent, would do Yang Jian a favor.

However, when the immortals and gods that Yang Jian wanted to capture involved the orthodoxy of the Chan Sect, the Chan Sect's assistance to Yang Jian turned into an obstacle to him...

After Ao Bing went into seclusion, very few immortals and gods who violated the heavenly rules, or those associated with the Chan Sect, were brought back to the Heavenly Court for public execution.

That group was directly killed by the Chan Sect, thus upholding the sect's rules.

Some of them were directly covered up by other disciples of the Chan Sect.

After all, relatives should cover for each other. Although this situation is not in accordance with laws and regulations, it is in accordance with human feelings.

Even Yang Jian could not force his fellow disciples of the Chan Sect to absolutely stand on the side of the Heavenly Rules and "sacrifice family for the greater good".

However, human relationships are inherently a very troublesome thing!
The disciples of the Chan Sect believed that what they were doing was a matter of protecting one's relatives and friends, in accordance with human nature, and therefore beyond reproach.

But in the eyes of others, what they see is completely different!
In the past, the laws of heaven covered all, and the world was 'clear and bright'. Anyone who violated the laws of heaven would immediately be met with a roar from the judicial gods...

At that time, the Antarctic Immortal Emperor and his companions did not realize that anything was wrong.

Between heaven and earth, how many sinful immortals and wicked gods exist...

Nobody has ever cared about this issue!

But at this moment, when they suddenly felt the incredibly surging source of heaven and earth on the Execution Platform, they were shocked to discover that the number of sinful immortals and evil gods in this world was already an extremely terrifying number.

This only includes the Taiyi-level death row inmates whom Ao Bing has apprehended.

And what about those Taiyi beings?
What about those who haven't yet achieved Taiyi?
And what about those who haven't yet violated the death penalty, but are simply being suppressed in the Heavenly Prison to serve their sentences?

That's an enormous number.
At that moment, it wasn't just the Antarctic Longevity Emperor on the Execution Platform...

Even the Jade Emperor in the Lingxiao Palace felt a chill run down his spine.

A teaching that educates and enlightens.

A Jade Emperor who rules over heaven and earth.

As a result, right under their noses, the situation on the board deteriorated to such a terrible degree.

Where do they put their faces?
Of course, in reality, although there are many immortals and gods who have violated the heavenly rules, their proportion is still very small compared to the vast number of beings in the entire Pantian.

But now... neither the Jade Emperor nor the Antarctic Longevity Emperor sees proportions.

It's simply a matter of quantity!

A truly terrifying number.

So, whether it's the Jade Emperor or the Antarctic Longevity Emperor.

After considering the situation in the world and the attitudes of several sage sects towards the Heavenly Rules, they naturally 'found' the reason behind it.

"As Yang Jian said, the disciples of the Chan Sect concealed each other's faults, which ultimately set a bad example for the world, and others followed suit." The Antarctic Longevity Emperor thought to himself.

However, the reason he found on the Jade Emperor's side was not the Chan Sect, but Buddhism.

After all, even the Chan Sect still holds a certain degree of respect for the Heavenly Rules... They will protect their own relatives, but they will not allow those disciples who have violated the Heavenly Rules to continue to roam the world.

But Buddhism is different!

The phrase "lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot" means that even those who have violated the heavenly rules can walk openly between heaven and earth, leaving the judicial gods helpless...

"Indeed, we must take advantage of this opportunity to seek the Dharma in the West and, in the name of the Heavenly Rules, thoroughly clean up the Buddhist sect."

"Only in this way can the gods and immortals of heaven and earth know what strict heavenly rules are!" The Jade Emperor thought fiercely to himself.

Among the five great worlds, Pantian has always been known for its strict heavenly rules. At this moment, the Jade Emperor could imagine how indifferent the chess players from the other four great worlds would be to Pantian when they stepped into it and saw the countless heads on the Execution Platform.

In the blink of an eye, the Jade Emperor had already transmitted his voice to Ao Bing. "Chengtian, how about taking advantage of this westward journey to visit the Buddhist sect and clean it up?" the Jade Emperor said.

"Does Your Majesty truly intend to cleanse Buddhism?" Upon hearing the Jade Emperor's telepathic message, Ao Bing couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He had the idea of ​​purging the Buddhist community after returning to the Hall of Punishments and reviewing those documents.

Even before they even opened the book, on that Five Finger Mountain, he and Shakyamuni had already tacitly agreed on this matter.

As the present Buddha of Buddhism, and as the one currently in charge of Buddhism... Shakyamuni acknowledged the saying, "The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore."

But he was extremely disdainful of the saying "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot"!
It is precisely because of the strong suppression of Buddhism by Shakyamuni that the Buddha who uttered this verse has not left any name in the world to this day.

All people in the world know that a Buddha in Buddhism said these words, but they have no idea which Buddha said them.

That is why Shakyamuni was secretly plotting all along.

The source of this statement should be attributed to Mara!
Those who believe this statement are all disciples of Mara!

However, although this is the idea, Shakyamuni has not yet found a suitable opportunity to turn his idea into reality.

After all, Mara is not easy to deal with!
He needs another person to bring Mara into the Buddhist game, but he hasn't found that person yet.

But now...

On Mount Ling, Shakyamuni's gaze fell upon the human world.

The envoy chosen by the human emperor is heading west.

The existence of 'Mara' is of great importance, so no one in Buddhism dares to mention Mara's name lightly, much less involve Mara in the Buddhist game.

But if ordinary Buddhist disciples dare not do this, what about Buddhist disciples in the human world?
Shakyamuni lowered his gaze and looked at the pilgrims heading west.

This pilgrim was a Buddhist disciple himself, and had a thorough understanding of Buddhist teachings and scriptures.

At the same time, he was personally selected and recognized by the Human Emperor, and was an extremely "orthodox" mortal from the human world. He had no deep-rooted reverence for Buddhism, immortals, gods, bodhisattvas, Buddhas, etc.

At the same time, as someone personally chosen by the Emperor, he has considerable influence over Buddhism!

His interpretation of Buddhist scriptures can even extend from the human level to the level of immortals and gods, turning effect into cause and effect, thus touching the very foundation of Buddhism.

"Let's see how courageous he is first!"

"If he has the courage to revise the Dharma, then let him be chosen!" Shakyamuni withdrew his gaze, a smile on his face.

"Jin Chanzi".

“Disciple is here.” On Mount Ling, Jin Chanzi stepped forward.

He was one of the disciples of Shakyamuni Buddha. He was very powerful and his Buddhist teachings were very profound. At the same time, he had many unique understandings of Buddhism that were not recognized by other Buddhas.

However, because of his exceptionally strong ability to debate, the other Buddhas, while not acknowledging Jin Chanzi's teachings, also found it difficult to articulate what was wrong with them...

“Take my talisman and go on a journey to the Eastern Sea,” said Shakyamuni.

"As you command." Jin Chanzi stood up, took the talisman, and immediately transformed into golden light, heading towards the East Sea.

Because the Dragon Clan is not very friendly to Buddhism, and Ao Bing has been in seclusion in the East Sea for many years... Therefore, in this world, the East Sea is a place that Buddhism cannot reach.

It is precisely for this reason that many Buddhist schemes unfold in the East China Sea.

Even the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, when discussing Buddhist matters, would also come to the East Sea to discuss them in order to avoid other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from doing so…

Therefore, when Shakyamuni Buddha sent Jin Chanzi with a talisman to the East Sea, both Jin Chanzi and the other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Buddhism knew that this Buddha was making plans for the situation in Buddhism.

However, after Jin Chanzi's figure fell into the East Sea, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas could only helplessly close their eyes.

The relationship with the dragons was already not very harmonious, so there was no need to provoke them further, especially the Great Dragon God who upholds justice and destiny!

If that Great Dragon God who upholds Heaven and righteousness were truly given an excuse, that Great Dragon God would absolutely dare to bring the Heavenly Rules to every Buddhist temple, one by one, and throw those countless Buddhist disciples into the net of the Heavenly Rules to trap them... and then punish those Buddhist disciples who violated the Heavenly Rules according to the Heavenly Rules.

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot"... How could the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Mount Ling not know the problems in this saying?
The problem is, this statement actually brought immense benefits to Buddhism!

The prerequisite for laying down the butcher's knife is picking it up again.

Looking across the world, those who are capable of wielding the butcher's knife are truly exceptional.

They are those who, under the pursuit of the judicial gods, can enter the Buddhist order to avoid disaster.

Their strength and the wealth they have accumulated are beyond doubt.

After they entered the Buddhist order, their accumulated wealth, and even their own lives, became the wealth of the Buddhist order...

Over the countless years, only they themselves know how much wealth the Buddhist community has accumulated in this way—it is so vast that it has greatly benefited the many great Buddhas within the Buddhist community!

"Amitabha." As Jin Chanzi's figure disappeared into the East Sea, a Buddha on Mount Ling suddenly uttered a chant.

"This time, the Great Dragon God of Heaven and Righteousness uses the Heavenly Rules and Faith as chains to restrain the power of wealth."

"Within the Ministry of Finance, countless Gods of Wealth have suffered as a result, their fortunes of wealth, prosperity, and longevity have been stripped from their destiny... and they will have to face the tribulation of lightning a thousand years from now."

"May Buddha have mercy. As the saying goes, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore. Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot."

"May I ask Buddha, if the wealth gods of the Ministry of Finance can repent and turn back from their wrong path, can our Buddhist sect open the door of convenience for them?"

These words immediately caused a stir on Mount Ling.

When it comes to wealth... in this world, who can accumulate wealth faster than the Gods of Wealth in the Ministry of Finance?
Under the protection of order, the gods of wealth, with their authority over wealth, control all the riches in the world—even a tiny splash from that vast river of wealth represents an immense fortune.

It's a fortune that even the legendary Ronaldo would covet.

Amidst the commotion, all the Buddhas' gazes fell upon the Heavenly Court's Ministry of Finance.

Within that vast golden palace, almost all the gods of wealth were entangled in fate due to the influence of ill-gotten and illegal gains.

At this moment, not to mention the Great Luo... even the stronger Taiyi could clearly perceive the power of destiny that covered the Golden Palace of the Ministry of Finance.

That is a forbidden power within the heavens!
