It's a pity that Yuanshi Tianzun was happy a little too early. It's true that the Chan Cult is flourishing, but it's strange that Yuanshi Tianzun was born unfairly and entrusted all the affairs of the sect to a few of his favorite disciples. This naturally caused some confusion. The other disciples were dissatisfied. They tried their best in the Battle of the Gods, but in the end, the benefits were not shared by them, so they were naturally dissatisfied.
In the explanation of the teaching, there were a total of fourteen disciples who entered the room. In addition to Ran Deng and Jiang Ziya, they were the Twelve Golden Immortals. During the Battle of the Gods, among the Twelve Golden Immortals, Fear Liu Sun, Huang Long Zhenren, and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun Five people, Master Lingbao and Chi Jingjing, died on the list, and among the remaining seven, only Guangchengzi, Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren were the most loved by Yuanshi Tianzun, so all important matters in the sect were entrusted to these three.
Yuanshi Tianzun himself has been in seclusion for a long time. He also received serious injuries in this battle to confer gods. After Hongjun and Tongtian Cult Master left the way of heaven, Yuanshi Tianzun also had the idea of leaving the way of heaven. Although the saint is good, But he is also subject to the checks and balances of heaven at every turn, so he cannot be as carefree and unrestrained as Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.
In today's prehistoric times, although Heaven prohibits saints and Hunyuan strongmen from taking action, such restrictions are only useful to saints, just like Styx or Hongjun. So what if they really take action in the prehistoric world? Does Heaven still want to Are you going to die with them? Obviously it is impossible, but it is different for saints. The soul of a saint relies on the way of heaven, and the way of heaven can do whatever it wants to do to you.
Yuanshi Tianzun is a proud and arrogant person. How can he be willing to be coerced by others, even if it is the way of heaven? Moreover, even Hongjun, who has chosen to follow the way of heaven, chooses to leave the way of heaven. This shows that there must be some secret in it, although I don’t know what it is. What, but at least the choice to break away from the way of heaven is right, but at this time, complete preparations must be made. The right time, place and people must be indispensable.
Yuanshi Tianzun did not care about the affairs of the religion, and Guangchengzi also chose to retreat after seeing the vastness of the world. The six-ear enlightenment deeply stimulated Guangchengzi. He originally thought that after reaching the quasi-sage cultivation level, he would He was able to close the gap between himself and Liuer, but now, the gap is getting wider and wider, and Guangchengzi is naturally unwilling to accept it.
As soon as Guangchengzi went into seclusion, the power in the sect fell into the hands of Master Yuding and Master Taiyi. However, this also made the other surviving Golden Immortals extremely dissatisfied. At the same time, the disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun were also in the process of becoming gods. They had contributed in the war, but they had no part in the missionary work. How could they be so willing
Although missionary matters are cumbersome, after all, you can use this to leave your own tradition among the human race, and you can also accumulate more luck for yourself. Preaching is small, but luck is big. After all, the amount of luck is related to important matters of spiritual practice. , why is the Battle of the Gods? Even the saints would care if they were not competing for the fate of the human race. How could their disciples not care if they did this
Those who are most dissatisfied are Manjushri Guangfa Tianzhen, Puxian Zhenren, and Cihang Taoist. Although they have been able to recover the cultivation of Daluo Jinxian since the Jiuqu Yellow River Formation, their skills have been greatly reduced compared with before. It was when they were in urgent need of luck to help them practice, but Yuanshi Tianzun did not let the three of them intervene in the missionary affairs, so they were naturally very dissatisfied.
Of course, they are not the only ones who are dissatisfied. There is also the deputy leader of the Chan Sect, Taoist Ran Deng. There is no real power, and Yuanshi Tianzun distributes spiritual treasures, and Ran Deng has nothing. To achieve today's quasi-sage cultivation, it can be said that Ran Deng relies on himself.
From the time he joined the Chan Cult, Ran Deng has been working hard for the Chan Cult. From assisting the Xuanyuan clan to the recently concluded Battle of the Gods, if you ask yourself, Ran Deng has been working hard for the Chan Cult, but how did Yuanshi Tianzun treat him? He just complimented him a few words, but nothing else. Thinking about it, what kind of favor did Yuanshi Tianzun give him? What a presumptuous person to be a teacher.
One day, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang gathered together to talk about Taoism and vent their frustrations to each other. At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the three of them, smiling. Looking at the three of them, he said: "You three are destined to me, why don't you throw away the shackles of today and rebuild a road that is truly suitable for you."
At the same time, Ran Deng also looked at the person who appeared in front of him in surprise. The visitor ignored Ran Deng's surprise and just said lightly: "Randeng, although you are the deputy leader of Chanjiao, no one can You know, it’s just a false name. Your practice of the path of annihilation is inconsistent with the teachings of the Explanation. How about joining my disciples?"
·······························
In Yuxu Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun is meditating on the way of heaven. Although his injury is not serious, it does not damage the root. With the strength of the saint, it will naturally not take long to recover. At this moment, he is preparing for his future escape. He is making preparations for the way of heaven. If he is not prepared enough, he will be separated from the way of heaven in the future, and his vitality will probably be severely damaged, which would not be good.
In fact, after the saints became saints, their strength also improved day by day, but unlike Styx, they achieved the sainthood with the help of Hongmeng Purple Qi and the merits of heaven. Although they have the realm of saints, that is not them. They have gained it through hard work, so if they want to improve their strength, they must first make up for what they lack.
It's like building a house. For example, after building the tenth floor, they just build the framework of the eleventh floor and then directly build the twelfth floor. Although they can get to the twelfth floor, if they want to continue building upwards, , it will naturally take time to fill the vacancies on the eleventh floor, otherwise building higher may only lead to the collapse of the building.
Therefore, after becoming saints, all the saints are painstakingly understanding the way of heaven, just to make up for the previous vacancies. Just like the leader of Tongtian, after leaving the way of heaven, although he is no longer a saint, his cultivation is still the same as the previous middle stage of saints. , although it is slightly weaker than before, at least the cultivation level has not dropped too much.
Now, Yuanshi Tianzun has decided to leave the way of heaven. Naturally, he cannot act in a hurry. While he is still a saint and can understand the way of heaven up close, he must seize this opportunity to improve his Hunyuan realm as much as possible. If he leaves the way of heaven, he will The middle stage of Saint has dropped to the early stage of Hunyuan, which is still a little worse than the leader of Tongtian. Then where can he put the face of Yuanshi Tianzun
After being in seclusion for a long time, Yuanshi Tianzun gained some insights into the way of heaven. However, suddenly, his heart palpitated, as if something was about to happen. However, after counting with his fingers, he couldn't figure out anything. Yuanshi Tianzun frowned. I frowned, feeling a little uneasy in my heart. Could it be that something went wrong during his period of seclusion.
After leaving the retreat, Yuanshi Tianzun came to the main hall of Yuxu Palace. With one finger of his hand, he rang the golden bell for gathering disciples. After a while, the disciples on Kunlun Mountain all arrived one after another. Yuanshi Tianzun When he saw it, he frowned. Not to mention the other disciples, only three of the remaining seven of the Twelve Golden Immortals came, and Ran Deng did not come either.
Under such circumstances, how could Yuanshi Tianzun not be suspicious? Among the disciples who entered the room, there were Guangchengzi, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun, Puxian Zhenren, Cihang Taoist and Ran Deng. He knew about Guangchengzi's situation, and he was in retreat at this time. Among them, could it be that the four Ran Deng people also went into seclusion? Or are they traveling abroad, or are they returning to their own monastery
However, the traces of these four people were estimated to be blurry. Yuanshi Tianzun frowned. Could it be that someone had concealed their secret? Yuanshi Tianzun swept away his spiritual thoughts and first looked at the dojos of the four people. However, the four people were not in their respective dojos, so Yuanshi Tianzun directly used his spiritual thoughts to search for them in the wilderness.
Finally, at the border between Dongsheng Shenzhou and Xiniu Hezhou, Yuanshi Tianzun saw traces of Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang. But when he saw the people with them, Yuanshi Tianzun's face changed drastically, and his heart became filled with anger. , ignoring the disciples who were looking at each other in the hall, just snorted coldly and disappeared into the hall.
At the border between Dongsheng Shenzhou and Xiniu Hezhou, Zhunti led Manjusri, Puxian and Cihang to this place. Jieyin was already here. Seeing that Jieyin came to pick them up in person, Wenshu and Puxian Xian and Cihang were greatly flattered, but unfortunately they didn't know that they were invited here not for them, but to settle a major event.
At this time, Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly appeared, and the expressions of Manjusri, Puxian, and Cihang changed greatly. They did not expect that Yuanshi Tianzun would chase after him so quickly. Seeing Yuanshi Tianzun's face full of anger, the three of them also had their own intentions. They lowered their heads in shame. After all, they had been separated for so many years, and now they did such a thing. They felt a little guilty.
Before Yuanshi Tianzun could speak, Zhunti spoke first: "Fellow Taoist Yuanshi, you are unfair and have made your disciples feel resentful. Now Manjusri, Samantabhadra and Cihang have switched to my Western sect. I believe you Taoist friends can see this too." Come on, the three of them have already modified my Western teaching method, and from now on they are no longer your disciples."
Yuanshi Tianzun was just about to get angry, but he saw Jie Yin said: "Fellow Taoist Yuanshi, since you are here, you might as well bear witness. Although our Western religion belongs to Taoism, it has always been regarded as a side sect by you. In this case, then, then Today, my junior brother and I have decided that from now on Western Buddhism will break away from Taoism and be renamed Buddhism, and I will lead the Taoist, who will be the Amitabha Buddha of Buddhism."
Zhunti also said together: "From now on, I, Taoist Zhunti, are the mother of ten thousand Buddhas in Buddhism, Zhunti Buddha Mother, Samantabhadra is the Taihang Samantabhadra of my Buddhism, Manjushri is the Manjushri of my Buddhism, and Cihang It is for me, the Great Compassionate and Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva of Buddhism, that the Way of Heaven can learn from it." Just listen to the thunder rolling in the nine heavens, it is the Way of Heaven that confirms the words of the two men.
