Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 298: The Arrival of the Disciples of Chan Sect

The West is not the East. Nine top-grade innate spiritual treasures are already a huge fortune for the West.

"Junior brother, you and I will each leave a life-saving magical power on the golden lotus seed, and then bestow it on the disciples heading east."

"That's all we can do. What happens to them from now on depends on their luck."

With a thought, he left his life-saving magic on nine golden lotus seeds, and then Saint Jie Yin handed them to Saint Zhunti in front of him.

Then, the Bodhisattva Cundi also left his life-saving magical powers on the lotus seeds.

Then, the two of them called Amoghavajra, Longzun, Shizizai, Amitabha, Maitreya and others, gave them the golden lotus seeds, and ordered them to take a group of disciples to the East to eliminate demons, preach at the same time, and spread the Western Dharma to the people in the East.

After receiving the saint's instructions, Long Zun Bukong and others made some preparations and set off.

On the other side, the two saints were not idle either. They went east first to visit Saint Taiqing at the Bajing Palace on Shouyang Mountain.

If one wants to preach in the East, it is not enough to just be invited by Emperor Xin, one must also obtain permission from the chief of all saints, the Saint Taiqing.

The two Western Saints were not worried about this. Emperor Xin dared to send someone to invite them, which must have been approved by the Saint Taiqing.

Next, they only needed to pay some price to get the approval of the Saint Taiqing, allowing them to preach tentatively in the East.

Yes, even with Emperor Xin’s invitation, if the two saints from the West wanted to preach in the East, they would have to give some benefits to the Saint Taiqing, that is, the Xuanmen.

Even so, it was only a tentative preaching, that is, it could only be preached within a prescribed scope, and the conditions were quite harsh.

However, even so, the two saints in the West were willing to do so. As long as they could preach in the East, they would agree to any conditions, no matter how harsh they were.

On the contrary, if the East preaches to the West, it will undoubtedly be a blessing for the West. There are no conditions at all. If you want land, give it to you. If you want people, give them to you. We must use all our strength to satisfy the Eastern cultivators.

In this era, the West's yearning for the East can be described in one sentence, just like the ordinary cultivators' yearning for the fairyland, they want to go there even in their dreams.

…………

Just as the ghosts and gods from all directions were preparing to retaliate against the Shang Dynasty, Yuanshi Tianzun of Kunlun Mountain and the Two Western Saints of Xumi Mountain each sent their disciples to Chaoge to help the Shang Emperor eliminate the demons.

The princes who received Emperor Xin's order, after much hesitation, decided to set off for Chaoge to see what the situation was.

Most of the princes had no objection to changing the offerings to the four gods and ghosts, especially the princes headed by the Zhou State, who had long been dissatisfied with this.

They felt that with the current strength of the human race, there was no need to sacrifice their own people in exchange for the protection of the gods and ghosts from all directions.

Based on this idea, this group of princes was even more radical than Ao Bing. They believed that changing the sacrifices was too troublesome and it would be better to directly abolish the sacrifices to the ghosts and gods of the four directions.

Of course, there were those who agreed and those who opposed, but compared with the princes who agreed to abolish the sacrifices to the four gods and ghosts, the princes who opposed this matter were far inferior in both number and strength.

The princes of the four directions had no objection to changing the offerings to the gods and ghosts of the four directions, but they were hesitant about changing the offerings to their ancestors.

One reason is that the effect of living sacrifice is so good that no other replacement method can compare to it.

The second reason is that, after all, they have never seen the real things like incense and vows.

No matter how well Emperor Xin described the power of incense and vows in his edict, even describing it as acquired merit, people were skeptical because no one had seen it.

Therefore, they planned to go to Chaoge in person, and make a final decision after seeing the power of incense and vows and understanding its mystery.

Very good, although the forces did not discuss with each other, they just happened to do things at the same time. It can only be said that Chaoge will be very lively in the future.

While various forces were heading for Chaoge, Ao Bing, the fuse of everything, was now organizing his army.

Yes, prepare for war!
War is about to break out.

This was not because Ao Bing had foresight and had foreseen some conspiracy in advance. Rather, the situation had developed to this point, and anyone with eyes could see that it would not be long before the long-peaceful Jiuzhou would usher in war.

The place where the war broke out, if nothing unexpected happens, should be Ao Bing's fiefdom, Longcheng in Jizhou, or Longzhou in the East China Sea.

Changing the sacrifices undoubtedly offended the interests of some princes. They were too entangled with the ghosts and gods of the four directions, or the ancestors in the underground, and could not make any changes at all. They could only go down this path to the end.

Therefore, when the matter of replacing the sacrifice is passed at a new round of alliance of princes, these princes will definitely rise up in rebellion.

Well, it can’t be called a rebellion.

At the beginning, they certainly would not and did not dare to attack Da Shang directly. For this reason, they could only vent their anger on the Renlong Kingdom, which was many times weaker than Da Shang.

After all, all the trouble was caused by Ao Bing, Long Bo. It was perfectly reasonable for them to take revenge.

If they could make Emperor Xin change his mind after destroying the Human Dragon Kingdom, that would be great. If not, that didn't matter, at least they got their revenge.

Anyway, Ao Bing would be the target of the crusade of these princes. Since he had anticipated this, Ao Bing would definitely make preparations early.

It doesn't matter about Longzhou. Not to mention that this place is protected by the Small Zhoutian Star Array, the center of Longzhou is connected to the ancestral vein of Honghuang. Heaven will not let anything happen here.

With the protection of Heaven, even if the princes from all directions joined forces, plus the Chan Sect, they would not be able to shake Longzhou in the slightest. If Longzhou could not be conquered, then the only place these princes could conquer was Longcheng in Jizhou.

As it happens, the defense of Dragon City is not very strong. Dragon City is just a mortal kingdom, how can it stop the attack of monks?

Therefore, during this period of time, Ao Bing focused his main energy on how to protect Dragon City.

Don’t people in the world know about the Way of Incense and Fire? That’s great. Let’s take this opportunity to let them see how powerful the Way of Incense and Fire is.

Longcheng is a mortal kingdom, but the armies of the princes are composed of monks. If you want to resist their attacks, you can't rely on mortals alone.

So at this time, the incense and vows accumulated by Longcheng over the years came in handy.

Ao Bing wanted to use them to forge a Shinto army to resist the invasion of the princes. By the way, he also wanted to let the world see the mystery of the incense Shinto.

The world's confusion about the power of incense and vows will be revealed in this battle.

In this way, they can promote the Shinto religion and show their own strength, not afraid of those wavering forces and make up their minds to change the sacrifices.

……

Time flies and several months have passed.

On this day, the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect, led by the Taoist Master Ran Deng, and the princes from all directions arrived in Chaoge City one after another.

Adhering to the principle that etiquette cannot be abolished, when Taoist Master Ran Deng arrived, Ao Bing reluctantly went out to greet him.

Without mentioning the identity of Master Ran Deng as the deputy leader of the Chan sect, let's just say that he had listened to Taoism in the Zixiao Palace and was qualified to call the Taoist Master "Teacher".

For this reason alone, before Master Tongtian fell out with him, he was Ao Bing's elder. Now that he has come in person, even if it is just a show, Ao Bing has to greet him.

In addition, the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, as the direct disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun, are also Ao Bing's senior brothers. Except for Duobao and others, the closest people are not even comparable to those outer disciples.

"Greetings to Taoist Master Ran Deng and all the senior brothers of the Chan Sect."

Outside the city of Chaoge, Ao Bing nodded as a greeting when he saw the Taoist Master Ran Deng leading several Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect coming.

This time, not all of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox School came. Only Cihang, Samantabhadra, Manjusri, and Juliusun came.

In addition, there are some registered disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun, such as Nan Ji Xian Weng, Yun Zhongzi and so on.

Yuanshi Tianzun also has many registered disciples, and many of them were accepted in recent years. Among them, not many have become great. Except for the most famous ones, Ao Bing basically doesn't know them and is too lazy to say hello.

Of course, with his status, there is no need for him to greet Yuanshi Tianzun's registered disciple. It would be more appropriate for them to greet Ao Bing instead.

"Human Dragon, how dare you appear in front of us!"

Seeing the human dragon, the four golden immortals, Randang, Samantabhadra, Cihang, etc., were immediately furious. They all looked at him with murderous intent, wishing to kill him on the spot.

It's not their fault. Who made Ao Bing kill Taiyi Zhenren? To the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox School, who were as close as brothers, this was a feud that would last until one of them dies.

"What a joke! Why wouldn't I dare?"

"Master Taiyi knows that I am a person of great merit, but he still insists on being my enemy. Doesn't this just prove that he has little luck and is not destined to be an immortal? He deserves to be on the list."

"If you avenge him, you will fall into the devil's barrier, which can be said to be a way to die. You should also be put on the list."

Ao Bing stood with his hands behind his back, not taking Randeng and the others seriously at all.

Behind him was Chaoge, with the Nine Cauldrons guarding the place. Unless the disciples of the Chan Sect came with the treasure of the Creation of Heaven, if a conflict broke out between the two sides, the Chan Sect would definitely suffer.

"Brothers, please calm down and don't forget the purpose of our coming here. Renlong is now the Prime Minister of Shang. It is better for us not to conflict with him for the time being."

At the critical moment, Yun Zhongzi, the registered disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, stepped forward to dissuade him.

Although Yun Zhongzi was a nominal disciple, in front of Yuanshi Tianzun, he was treated almost the same as a true disciple, except that he did not have the title of true disciple.

It is rumored that this person was transformed from innate cloud energy. Like the Red Cloud Ancestor, he is a natural immortal with great fortune and virtue. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, he can live a free and easy life.

In later generations, the Three Goddesses set up the Nine Bends of the Yellow River Formation to avenge their brother.

At that time, Yun Zhongzi entered the formation together with the Twelve Golden Immortals, but he was the only one who escaped. He did not have the three flowers on the top of his head and the five qi in his chest cut off, which shows how extraordinary he was.

"Humph!"

Yun Zhongzi's words were still very useful. Under his persuasion, the four golden immortals of the Chan sect glared at Ao Bing hatefully and stopped talking.

"Renlong, can you return my disciple to me?" At this time, Randeng suddenly said.

　Damn, I have a stiff neck...
