Honghuang: Senior Brother of the Chan Sect, I am Guangchengzi

Chapter 285 Yang Jian splits the mountain and the jade tripod complains

The Emperor can be impolite, unjust, and even unfilial, but he must never be unkind.

If one does not practice benevolence, then he will be cruel and tyrannical. Countless subjects in the world will be in fear, and even the princes who originally wanted to be loyal to the king will be worried, fearing that they will be beaten and killed under various excuses if they are not careful.

It is said that human hearts are changeable and God's will is unpredictable. Changes in human hearts occur before changes in God's will, which shows how difficult it is to make a decision.

A highly virtuous monk who was compassionate and chanting Amitabha in the previous moment might turn into a peerless demon who kills all living beings and practices slaughter in the next moment.

Sometimes just a slight decision can destroy an empire.

It was precisely because Guangchengzi saw through this point that he said Duobao's move was so unwise.

If he were Duobao, he would never instigate Emperor Xin to kill the two princes in the southeast. Even if he could not tolerate these four princes, he would not kill them openly.

On the surface, he would definitely order Emperor Xin to bow his head and apologize to Jiang Huanchu, the Marquis of Dongbo. At most, he would agree to support the second daughter of the Jiang family as the queen as a token of his apology.

In this way, no matter how angry Jiang Huanchu was in his heart, on the surface, Emperor Xin had done his utmost.

After all, Emperor Xin is an emperor. If you refuse to accept an emperor's apology, others will think that you are ungrateful.

As for Nanbo Hou E Chongyu, if he didn't want to stay, he could just kill him on the road and then announce to the outside world that Nanbo Hou had a sudden illness and died all of a sudden. Who would care about the details of a dead person?
No one will.

It is even possible not to kill anyone, and only need to secretly use Taoist magic to cut off the horns and break the dragon feet of these four dragons, so that they will never be able to transform into dragons again.

You can also secretly absorb the luck of these four dragons and do nothing, letting them become part of the real dragon that protects the luck of the Shang Dynasty. Instead, you can use their strength to your advantage and maintain the existence of the Shang Dynasty for a while longer, creating a chance for the Jiejiao to escape.

Although there were so many good ways in front of him, Duobao chose the simplest one, which is to kill!

Killing to stop killing is a good idea, and it is also a solution. But the problem is that Duobao's killing not only failed to stop the change in people's hearts, but instead accelerated the demise of the Shang Dynasty. That's why Guangchengzi laughed so much.

After Guangchengzi's explanation, Suiren finally understood how far-sighted his master was.

Guang Chengzi instructed, "Suiren, it is not that difficult to become the leader of a sect. If you have any chores, you can ask your disciples to do them. If you need a magic weapon, you can borrow it from me or even my master.

But the most important thing about being the leader of a religion is to have a sense of the overall situation. You must have a grasp of everything in your mind, as meticulous as observing the lines on your palm, so that you can do things with ease."

This is also the truth that Guangchengzi has gained from his years of practice. Becoming a sect leader is not that difficult at all, especially when one has magical powers, it is countless times easier.

But the problem is that it depends on whether the other party has the potential to become a leader. This so-called potential means that he must have the ability to play a leading role.

There is no doubt that the leader of the Chan sect is Yuanshi Tianzun, but Yuanshi Tianzun did not blindly control the Chan sect. Instead, he boldly let go and allowed Guangchengzi to gain experience.

Guangchengzi lived up to Yuanshi Tianzun's reputation and indeed possessed the potential to be a leader, so he could actually become the eldest senior brother. Otherwise, Yuanshi Tianzun would be disappointed and would definitely support someone else to become the next leader of the Chan sect.

That’s right, Yuanshi Tianzun has been vaguely thinking about abdicating, and this calamity of conferring the gods is the test he gave to Guangchengzi.

If Guangchengzi can pass the test, he will be the well-deserved next leader of the Chan sect and the master of Yuxu Palace, and Yuanshi Tianzun will be able to safely go out of the chaos and accompany Nuwa.

Guangchengzi understood this point, which is why he took so much time to think about it, but he also did not forget to guide his eldest disciple, Suiren.

After all, after he takes over the position of the leader of the Orthodox Sect, the position of the leader of the Netherworld Sect will have to be passed on to someone else. After all, there are conflicts between the two leaders, and it is impossible for him to rush between Kunlun and the Netherworld every day, right?

The next leader of the Netherworld would naturally be Guangchengzi's eldest disciple, Suiren.

Faced with Guangchengzi's suggestion, Suiren also felt that the burden on his shoulders was quite heavy. After all, being a leader and being a disciple are two different things. The former requires one to be the master of one's own destiny, while the latter requires one to just obey.

It's good to be the boss, but you also have to see if you have the ability to do it. If you mess things up, I'm afraid even your master and ancestors will be disappointed.

It is convenient to just obey, but you will also be inferior to others all day long, and in the eyes of others, you will always be just a junior.

So Suiren was not afraid, but became more excited and began to ask Guangchengzi questions continuously.

Guangchengzi also told everyone he knew without reservation, just as Yuanshi Tianzun had taught him before, and he also taught Suiren in the same way.

Ziyi and Youchao could not hold back any longer and came forward to ask for advice. They asked some leadership questions and rarely had any questions about Taoism or magical powers.

Guangchengzi accepted all the candidates. After all, Suiren was not up to the task, and he still had these two candidate disciples, so he didn't need to worry too much.

Lu Ya's eyes moved slightly, and he seemed to have some intention, but in the end he calmed down, picked up the Taoist book in his hand and recited silently, without stepping forward.

However, everything was peaceful here at Guangchengzi's place. When the immortals asked, there were some disturbances at Jade Ding Zhenren's place.

"If you want to find your mother, then split Mount Tai. Your mother is right under Mount Tai." Jade Ding Zhenren sighed.

Yang Jian said solemnly: "I am unable to show my filial piety to Master, please forgive me. After I rescue my mother, I will kowtow three times and nine times to repay Master's kindness!"

Looking at the handsome young man with a resolute face in front of him, Jade Ding Zhenren felt helpless, but Guangchengzi had already given the order, so he could do nothing. He had to give Yang Jian many treasures, and even gave him a magical dog that he had obtained in his early years.

Looking at the big white dog at his feet, Yang Jian reached out and touched it. The big dog did not show any fear. Instead, it drooled and leaned towards his palm.

"You are a good dog." Yang Jian said with a smile, "Since you are so aggressive and seem extraordinary, I will give you a name, Xiaotian, how about that?"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Roaring Sky Dog seemed to like this name very much, running around Yang Jian, looking very happy. Jade Ding Zhenren sighed again after seeing this, knowing the reason why Yang Jian named this big dog Roaring Sky.

After all, he had pointed out over the years that the Lord Haotian was Yang Jian's uncle, and it was a huge blow to Yang Jian that his own uncle sealed his mother away.

That's why Yang Jian named his dog Xiaotian, which means roaring at Haotian. It is also a way of humiliating Haotian, saying that he is not as good as his dog and is only worthy of being his dog.

As if it was destiny, Yang Jian, who had never met his mother, had already developed great malice towards his own uncle.

Jade Ding Zhenren couldn't bear to watch this, so he gave him an axe.

Looking at the blazing axe in his hand, Yang Jian was very puzzled. Jade Ding Zhenren nodded and said, "This axe is called Ganqi. It was lent to me by your master uncle. Now I lend it to you. You can use it to split Mount Tai."

Yang Jian was even more surprised after hearing this, and kowtowed to Jade Ding Zhenren repeatedly. Then he made a secret gesture and turned into golden light and flew towards Mount Tai.

Watching Yang Jian leave, Jade Ding Zhenren felt very reluctant to let him go. After all, they were master and disciple who had been together day and night for more than ten years. How could their friendship be abandoned so quickly?
But since his brother had given his orders, he had to obey.

"Yu Ding, what's wrong with you?"

Just when he was feeling sad, a loud voice was heard. Jade Ding Zhenren didn't even need to turn around to know that it was Huanglong Zhenren who was talking.

So he naturally looked at Yang Jian and replied, "Of course it's for my disciple to practice. Why did you come to see me?"

Seeing that his brother was in a bad mood, Master Huanglong naturally stepped forward to comfort him.

Inadvertently, he saw a plate of cakes on the table and immediately said, "Isn't this just cloud cake? It really looks like clouds, soft and dense. Although it is a mortal firework, it also has some flavor."

Jade Ding Zhenren was not interested, and lowered his eyes slightly and said: "If you want to eat it, take it. I never like to eat these things."

Zhenren Huanglong shook his head helplessly and called Zhenren Yuding to come and sit down. He seemed like the owner of this room, but he was used to coming here and it was common for him to behave like this.

Jade Ding Zhenren sat down dejectedly, and Huang Long Zhenren comforted him: "Look at you, you have been practicing for a long time, but you still have such a kind heart."

"We have been master and disciple for many years. When you accept a disciple in the future, I believe it will be the same as me." After saying this, Master Yuding closed his eyes, obviously not wanting to hear anything more from Master Huanglong.

But Huang Long Zhenren was unconvinced: "I see that the eldest brother is very clear about the training of his disciples. He trains when necessary and beats when necessary. Why do you feel so distressed?"

Jade Ding Zhenren opened his eyes instantly and snorted, "My disciple is going to be on the Conferred God List. As a master, can't I feel a little sorry for him? Do you think everyone is Suiren? I am not Guangchengzi!"

His tone was very intense, and even contained a hint of anger. When Master Huanglong heard it, he was frightened and immediately covered his mouth. He then felt relieved when he saw that there was no one around.

He whispered, "What do you mean? Don't we feel bad that Yang Jian is on the Investiture of the Gods? But the Chan Sect must select people to be on the Investiture of the Gods, and Yang Jian is a famous person on the Investiture of the Gods!
His uncle and uncle-in-law are the Lord of Heaven, his aunt and uncle are the Queen Mother of the Yaochi, and his biological mother is the Holy Mother Yao Ji. He has such a strong connection with the heaven that it cannot be separated at all.

Now, giving Yang Jian away and saving more than a dozen of us, isn't it worth it? Moreover, we helped Yang Jian and his mother to reunite, and even saved his biological father. What else do you want us to do?
Do you have to pay us all as compensation to be worthy of Yang Jian? Without us, Yang Jian will still die, but because we are here, Yang Jian doesn't have to be afraid even if his name is listed in the Conferred God List or he goes to heaven!"

After that, Huang Long Zhenren said in a tone of regret: "But look at you, you actually speak with resentment, your mind is simply bewildered by phlegm and possessed by ghosts!
If the eldest brother knew about this, even if he was merciful and didn't bother with you, how could the other brothers and sisters be kind to you? Think about it carefully!"

Then he turned around and left without even taking the plate of cloud cake, which showed that he was very dissatisfied.

After hearing what Huanglong Zhenren said, Yuding Zhenren also came to his senses. He was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that his mind was possessed by the calamity energy.

When a master accepts an apprentice, in addition to teaching him carefully, he naturally also wants the apprentice to work for him.

Otherwise, why waste those blessed places, elixirs and skills?
Jade Ding Zhenren accepted Yang Jian as his disciple, of course, he also had his own selfish motives, which was to let Yang Jian die for him and fill in his name on the List of Gods.

Although Jade Ding Zhenren accepted the disciple with selfish motives, he had done his utmost. After all, Yang Jian was destined to be on the list. This was destiny. If he wanted to reverse the situation, Yuanshi Tianzun had to take action.

Jade Ding Zhenren naturally would not let Yuanshi Tianzun take action over such a small matter, so he has put all his thoughts into Yang Jian, which can be said to be beyond reproach.

Being a master means you have to risk your life for your disciple?
Don't joke, there is no such good deal in the world. If the disciple is disobedient, the master can replace him at any time, or even abolish the other party's skills and take back all magic power.

Therefore, Jade Ding Zhenren did nothing wrong. He even guaranteed Yang Jian's independent status in the future. No matter from which perspective, he can be regarded as a compassionate master.

After figuring this out, Jade Ding Zhenren secretly felt lucky and thought it was a great thing that Huanglong Zhenren came. Otherwise, if he revealed this intention in front of Guangchengzi in the future, he would probably be cutting himself off from the Chan Sect.

Then he took out the Golden Rules and began to recite them carefully, using these rules to restrain himself and avoid the influence of disaster energy.

After leaving Jade Ding Zhenren's cave, True Man Huanglong did not return to his own land, but took many twists and turns and went to the Zhaixing Tower where Guangchengzi lived.

Seeing Guangchengzi teaching his disciples, Zhenren Huanglong did not disturb him too much, but just listened quietly.

On the contrary, Guang Chengzi saw Huang Long Zhenren coming and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Huang Long is here, come in quickly, don't stay outside for long."

Suiren and others also immediately stood up and saluted, then offered fairy tea and fragrant fruits before stepping aside.

Guang Chengzi smiled and said, "Brother, you are in for a treat this time. I made a new batch of tea earlier. Even Master, Grand Master, and several uncles praised it highly after drinking it. They thought it was as good as the Golden Jade Tea and the Dream Tea.

I just happen to have a little left, so let us drink it. Don't let others know, especially those greedy ones, or I won't have any extra tea to share with them."

Huang Long Zhenren picked up the immortal tea and naturally smelled the refreshing fragrance, but he did not drink it. Instead, he said respectfully: "My dear senior brother, I have already told Yu Ding what you said as you instructed. I believe he should also know the meaning."
