Chapter 149: Retreat as advance, Lao Tzu compromises
Chapter 149: Retreat as advance, I compromise
However, Hongjun agreed to the proposal of Tongtian, which made everyone in Zixiao Palace (except Haotian, Yaochi) very happy, and stood up one after another and worshiped: "Teacher (Master) Holy wise!"
Hongjun nodded lightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "What is the details? I will discuss it yourself, so there is no need to report me again." After that, without waiting for the saints to reply, his body suddenly became a trance, and in a blink of an eye it disappeared on the Taoist platform.
Seeing Hongjun leave, the eyes of the saints flashed in their eyes. They looked at each other, tearing off their hypocritical faces and starting to argue.
The battle between the sacred places is naturally the position of the Four Emperors.
Although the position of the Four Emperors of the Imperial Emperors was decided long after the great catastrophe of the Gods, the Northern Purple Emperor had even been decided when the Heavenly Court was first established.
But the situation is very different from before. The position of the Four Emperors is related to the position of the Heavenly Emperor in the future, so we naturally need to consider it again.
Among the four emperors, the Northern Pole Ziwei Emperor is Zhao Gongming, who belongs to the Jie Sect; the Southern Pole Changsheng Emperor is the Ancient Immortal Weng, who belongs to the Ancient Sect; the Eastern Pole Qinghua Emperor is Taiyi Zhenren, who belongs to the Ancient Sect.
All of these three people have the support of great sects, and they have served for many years, but the throne is relatively stable.
As for the Emperor Xiji, he is not a disciple of the four sects, and he is just a nominee. At present, all the saints are turning their attention to this throne.
As we all know, the Emperor Xiji is in charge of the reincarnation of the underworld, but the underworld is occupied by the witch clan, and there are eleven ancestor witches and many great witches in charge. How dare the Heavenly Court make a move?
After the great catastrophe of the gods, the Primitive Heavenly Lord also thought of using the convenience of the heavenly court to seize the power of the underworld.
Unfortunately, although the Great Tribulation of the Gods of the Gods was won, it also suffered a lot of losses. Just the disciples who were personally passed on, the Taoist Heavenly Lord among the twelve golden immortals, was afraid that Liu Sun would fall, which greatly damaged his vitality, and the other three generations of disciples were even more injured.
Under such circumstances, the Primitive Heavenly Lord dared not challenge the Witch Clan again, otherwise the Anarchy Sect would not have suffered a catastrophe?
It is precisely because of this concern that the Primitive Heavenly Lord did not act rashly, nor did he get involved in the position of Emperor Xiji. He just randomly selected a person on the list of human race and placed him on this position, without any real power, and was considered a puppet puppet.
Since they are puppets, the saints naturally do not take it seriously. Now the position of the Four Emperors of the Imperial Empire is also important, so the saints will first turn their attention to this throne.
At this moment, I first glanced at the Primitive Heavenly Lord, and then said: "The Four Heavenly Lords, the Emperor of the Antarctic Eternal Life and the Emperor of the East Ji Qinghua were established during the great catastrophe of the gods. The teacher and all the saints of us can prove it, which is in line with the way of heaven, but it should not be tampered with.
The Northern Purple Emperor had already decided when the Heavenly Court was first established and witnessed the great catastrophe of the gods, so he was naturally considered orthodox.
As for the candidate for the Emperor Xiji, it needs to be considered. I wonder what your junior brothers and junior sisters think?"
Having said that, after I finished speaking, I looked directly at Tongtian, but I didn't even look at other saints.
The Primitive Heavenly Lord now controls the two thrones and is already quite powerful. I and the Primitive Heavenly Lord have already agreed to advance and retreat together, so these two thrones are naturally included.
But I am still not satisfied with this. If I can compete for the three emperors, even if the throne is left, the throne and Haotian will be in a three-to-two match. In this way, he and the Primitive Heavenly Lord can be invincible.
It is precisely because of this thought that I did not question the position of the Northern Purple Emperor, but wanted to sell Tongtian for a face. Even if Tongtian could not support him, he would never object.
How could Tongtian not know my thoughts? He sneered secretly and thought, "Even if I withdraw from the battle for this throne, how could Buddhism sit idly? Having said that, if Buddhism really fails to compete for this throne, how should it fight against the Western divine realm?"
Thinking of this, Tongtian knew that this throne would belong to Buddhism, so he closed his eyes and meditated without paying attention to this matter.
After I showed my goodwill, I saw that Tongtian did not respond, and I suddenly became angry and cursed in my heart, but my expression was slightly embarrassed.
Seeing this, the Primitive Heavenly Lord hurriedly spoke to help me and said, "The eldest brother said so much! My junior brother thought that the Emperor Xiji should indeed be re-selected. Now that the "Princess of Gods" belongs to my sect, it is reasonable that I sect the throne of this sect."
However, the Primitive Heavenly Lord deliberately pointed out the "Preface to the Gods" in order to use this great righteousness to subdue other saints.
After hearing the words of the Primitive Heavenly Lord, I smiled slightly and nodded and agreed: "Great goodness! All the positions in the Heavenly Court need to be enthroned on any list of gods. Now the list of gods is under the sect of my junior brother, and I should have chosen this throne for my junior brother." After that, I glanced at the Primitive Heavenly Lord with satisfaction.
After hearing what Lao Tzu said, Tongtian, Houtu, and Nuwa all had never spoken and looked indifferent. And Amitabha and Cunti Buddha Mother were a little dissatisfied.
"You have occupied two emperors, but you are still unsatisfied. You still want to steal the third emperor, and you are not a son of man! If you really succeed, then will my Buddhism no longer be able to gain a foothold in the heavenly court?" Amitabha Buddha and the Mother of Cundi thought in his heart.
Thinking of this, the Buddha Mother of Cunti couldn't wait to speak, "The two fellow Taoists are so bad! The list of Gods is indeed a treasure given by the teacher to choose the position of the Heavenly Court, but don't forget it. At that time, no one questioned the position of the Lord of the Heavenly Court by Brother Haotian. The teacher also gave the list of Gods for Brother Haotian.
Now that the master position of the junior brother Haotian’s Heavenly Court still needs to be re-argued, the list of Gods will naturally be out of constraints. How can we establish the position of the Four Emperors based on the list of Gods?”
After saying that, he looked at me and the two of them with dissatisfaction.
Although the words of the Buddha Mother Cunti refuted the Primitive Heavenly Lord's theory, they also offended Haotian because of this.
Seeing his allies sabotaging each other several times, Haotian was furious and thought fiercely: "Buddhism?!!! OK! Very good!"
The others also looked at the Buddha Mother of Cundi with strange expressions. Everyone present knew about the alliance between Haotian and Buddhism. Now that they saw that the Buddha Mother of Cundi treated his allies like this, everyone could not help but secretly obeyed a silence for Haotian.
But I thought more. Seeing that the mother of Cundi was like this, Amitabha did not dissuade her. I murmured in my heart and thought: "It seems that the two Buddhists are also ambitious people. Now they are still in the alliance, so they will turn against each other. If they join forces with them in the future, they must be careful!"
Not to mention, I was wary. After hearing the words of the Buddha Mother of Zhunti, a trace of disdain flashed across his face and said to him: "My fellow Zhunti is such a bad thing! The Gods List has the ability to enfeoff many immortal officials in the Heavenly Court, how could it be related to who is the Emperor of Heaven? It is extremely absurd." After that, he glanced at Zhunti with contempt.
When the Buddha Mother Cunti heard this, her face turned red, and then she was furious. She glanced at the Primitive Heavenly Lord with hatred and said, "The Primitive Taoist's words are biased. If the list of gods can be granted all the immortal officials in the Heavenly Court, why not pardon the Emperor together?
Since it cannot, it means that the List of Gods is not the only certificate of the Immortal Official in the Heavenly Court.
According to my monk's opinion, the list of gods was established by the teacher to facilitate the Emperor of Heaven to command the immortal officials of the Heavenly Court, and it is not for the purpose of enfeoffing official positions in the Heavenly Court."
After saying that, he glared at the Primitive Heavenly Lord again, but he was a little disdainful of his just now.
After hearing the words of the Buddha Mother of Zhunti, Primitive Heavenly Lord frowned slightly, but for a moment he could not find any words to refute the Buddha Mother of Zhunti.
Seeing that the Primitive Heavenly Lord was speechless, I interjected and said, "This is inappropriate for fellow Taoist Zhunti! The list of gods was established by the teacher. At that time, the teacher said that all the people on the list must obey the order of the Heavenly Court and must not violate it. If this is not a conferred immortal official, what is it?"
When the Buddha Mother Cundi raised her eyebrows and wanted to refute again.
At this moment, Amitabha waved his hand to stop the Buddha Mother of Cundi and sang the Buddha's name: "Mr. Amitabha!"
Then, Amitabha Buddha said: "Please forgive me for saying it bluntly! The two fellow Taoists already have the throne of the Antarctic Emperor, the Dongji Qinghua Emperor, and the Tongtian fellow Taoists also have the throne of the Antarctic Ziwei Emperor, and the only one of the Buddhists is nothing.
If so, how can my Buddhism form a force to fight against the Western God Realm? Is it because all fellow Taoists plan to fight against the Western God Realm alone?
I hereby urge all fellow Taoists to put the overall situation first and give this throne to my Buddhism.
I personally think that what is going on in the heavenly court and the position of the Emperor of Heaven, and I will make a conclusion in the future. Now it is better to resist the invasion of the Western God Realm!"
After saying that, he looked at me with a serious look on his face, Tongtian and others.
After hearing Amitabha’s words, I and the Primitive Heavenly Venerable were stunned, and then lowered their heads and began to think.
Lao Tzu, the Primitive Heavenly Lord was only concerned about fighting for the throne, but ignored why the throne was re-established. Now that he was pointed out by Amitabha Buddha, the two of them suddenly fell into deep thought.
Tongtian, who was meditating with his eyes closed, could not help but open his eyes and glanced at Amitabha in surprise, but he didn't expect that Amitabha could see this point, and instead led me and the army of the primitive army, making it almost impossible for the two of them to refute.
"What a Amitabha Buddha, what a move to retreat to advance! I underestimate you!" Tongtian exclaimed in his heart.
The saints had already realized that after hearing Hongjun's narration, they had already determined that with the power of one person or one religion, they would definitely not be able to fight against the Western divine realm. I am afraid that even the Jie Sect, which is known as the largest sect in the Three Realms, could not be able to do it.
Perhaps Tongtian and Houtu will win the battle of the saints, but in terms of disciples, Ren Guiling Holy Mother and others are not able to fight against hundreds of millions of Western divine cultivators in the world in terms of their disciples.
With this understanding, the saints naturally understood that only the only way to unite was left before them.
But if one of the four sects withdraws, the other three sects will definitely bear greater pressure, and all the saints will not want to do so.
Therefore, Amitabha Buddha's move uses retreat as advance, but he hits Lao Tzu's original key points, which forces him to give in.
After a while, I looked at each other, and saw helplessness in the other party's eyes. Then I heard me sigh and say, "According to what fellow Taoist said, the position of the Emperor of the West belongs to fellow Taoist Buddhism. I hope that fellow Taoist disciples can defend our Eastern honor during the East-West War!"...
