Chapter 550 Captive
On the ground, the pale faces of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Buddha of Merit were very calm. There was neither the anger of being attacked by someone nor the unwillingness to be resigned to the end of the disaster. There was a hint of solemnity between his expression and eyebrows.
This time they attacked Yang Zhen, naturally they wanted to destroy the alliance between the Taoist sect and the Blood Sea of Styx, so that the Taoist sect could be isolated and helpless. Finally, under the joint suppression of Buddhism and the demon queen Xihe, they had to retreat to the east to win over Shenzhou and no longer have the power to preach to the southern border.
Therefore, among the masters sent by Buddhism this time, in addition to the three Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Medicine Buddha, and Sunlight Bodhisattva who intercepted Yang Zhen, there were also former Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva and other masters near the Sea of Blood. They were worried that the Patriarch of the Styx would come out to rescue Yang Zhen. Unfortunately, even so many masters could not stop the Patriarch of the Styx.
This further demonstrates the strength of the Ancestor Styx. If the Blood Sea and the Taoist Sect join forces, there will be new variables in this dispute over Buddhism and Taoism. However, since the Ancestor Styx has helped Yang Zhen, it is equivalent to making a statement, clearly supporting Yang Zhen and supporting the Jie Sect.
So at this moment, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Buddha Merit were filled with concerns about Buddhism, worried that Buddhism would lose its strength in this battle, and even worried that Buddhism would fail.
It was at this time that the Buddhist sect had already insufficient staff. A large number of the disciples in the Buddhist sect were disciples of the Jie Sect whom Saint Cunti forcibly accepted by him. If they really wanted to fight against their former masters, they would be afraid that the chance of turning against the battlefield would be very high.
Such internal and external troubles are really worrying.
Thinking of the current situation and thinking of his own situation, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Buddha of Merit could only shake their heads bitterly and could not do anything.
"Old ancestor, long time no see. Those two swords just now really opened my eyes to the younger generation. In front of the ancestor, I dare not use the sword anymore." Yang Zhen also used his magic power while speaking. He took the Qingming Sword back into his body, as if he really didn't dare to show off his axe in front of the Ancestor Styx.
"Hahahahaha!"
Upon hearing this, the ancestor of the Styx laughed and said, "I am just relying on my magic power to suppress people. There is no exquisite sword technique. It is really not worth mentioning in front of the wonderful methods of the Jie Sect."
"If the ancestor is not there, if there is a chance, I really want to ask you a few sword techniques from the ancestor. I hope the ancestor will give you advice!" Yang Zhen continued to compliment.
The ancestor of the Styx laughed and said, "Hey~! I dare not take the advice, I can still discuss it for a while, so I discussed it at that time!"
Afterwards, Yang Zhen and the Patriarch of the Styx continued to make some polite words, but no one paid attention to the two Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Buddha of Merit who were cross-legged in their exercises.
Now, Yang Zhen and the Ancestor of the Styx knew that since this time the Styx helped Yang Zhen, the joint agreement between the Taoist sect and the Sea of Blood has been reached, so Yang Zhen no longer needs to say anything to the Ancestor of the Styx. As for the benefits the Ancestor of the Styx were seeking, there were only two.
First, the Asura Sect can get out of the blood sea and gain a foothold in the prehistoric world.
Second, once the two Western saints attack the Styx, the three Taoist sects can protect him.
Yang Zhen naturally knew about these two days. When he was worshiping the portrait of Tongtian Sect Master in Biyou Palace, he also obtained permission from Tongtian Sect Master. However, even the Supreme Saint and Yuanshi Tianzun fulfilled their promises. The Tongtian Sect Master who held the Zhuxian Sword Formation alone could block the two Western Saints.
When Yang Zhen saw the Ancestor of the Styx, he formed a joint agreement. He was happy, so his previous plan also made some changes.
"Old ancestor, what are you going to deal with these two people?" After talking for a while, Yang Zhen glanced at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Merit Buddha, and asked casually.
"What do you think should be?" asked the ancestor of the Styx.
To be honest, in order to be more confident in persuading the Ancestor of the Styx, Yang Zhen used his head as a meeting ceremony to lobby for the Ancestor of the Styx.
In this way, one can get to the heartache of the Styx for many years, and the other can also force the Styx forcibly pull the Styx for a long time and tie it to his own chariot.
But now that the alliance is still reached, Yang Zhen feels that killing Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Buddha of Merit is not worth it.
Yang Zhen had already killed a Medicine Buddha and a Sunlight Bodhisattva, and had a great hatred with the Buddhist sect. If he killed Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Merit Buddha at this time, he was afraid that the great disaster with the Buddhist sect would come early in the future, and Yang Zhen would be held resentful and commit a murderous disaster.
It's like the Battle of Red Cliff, when the Sun and Wu families were unwilling to kill Cao Cao in the end. Whoever killed Cao Cao would have a mortal grudge against Cao Wei.
With these thoughts, Yang Zhen's murderous intent faded, but another note suddenly emerged.
"Old ancestor, this Ksitigarbha King has repeatedly fought against you, and has passed on the blood sea of sentient beings. If he is letting him die like this, wouldn't it be a waste of money? I think you might as well take it back to the blood sea, and it will also benefit the bad angrily you have been doing all these years."
After Yang Zhen finished speaking, he saw a hint of hesitation flashing across the face of the ancestor of Styx, and continued, "Although this merit Buddha is not very important, he has also been the master of his subordinates. If I kill him, I am afraid that people in the world will say that I kill my master. This reputation is not good, so I will take this person back to imprison him in Biyou Palace. When the war is over, it is up to Buddhism to discuss, what do you think."
After saying that, Yang Zhen used the magical power of "Swallowing the Heaven and Earth" to put the merit Buddha into his sleeves.
Yang Zhen did this, on the one hand, he could avoid a quarrel with Buddhism, and on the other hand, he could not do anything in the work of the two masters of Buddhism, and he also strengthened the alliance between Taoist sect and the sea of blood. After all, the family caught a Buddhist monk, and it was already a grasshopper on the same rope.
Yang Zhen couldn't help but feel proud when he came up with this plan to stone three birds.
"Okay, Ksitigarbha is a guy who has been doing this for tens of thousands of years. Today, I will bring him back to the sea of blood, and it will bring this bad luck." Seeing that Yang Zhen also took the person, the ancestor of the Styx did not hesitate anymore and used his magic power to lift Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the air, preparing to capture him back to the sea of blood.
Seeing this, Yang Zhen couldn't help but pray in his heart, hoping that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could hold on within the sea of blood.
After doing everything, Yang Zhen bowed and said to the Ancestor Styx: "Ancestor, since the matter has been discussed, I will go back to Biyou Palace first. There are still many things in the sect waiting for me to deal with."
The ancestor of the Styx turned his eyes and said slightly: "I'm asking you, how likely do you have to win this time?"
"70%!" Yang Zhen said lightly.
