Fang Jian from Earth became an immortal official in the Heavenly Court. Not only does he have a golden finger, but the Jade Emperor also values him.
So do you think Fang Jian will pretend to ...
Soon, the evil god Dafang returned to his normal form and turned back into the appearance of Elder Jiao, but his power had skyrocketed and reached the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
The next day, the evil god Dafang summoned all the deacons in the Giant Tomb City in the name of Elder Jiao, and announced to them that Deacon Hui had gone out to work, and that the Huayun Building would be handed over to Deacon Fang in the future.
The deacons had no doubts, but they were not interested in being in charge of the Huayun Building. The Huayun Building was the most troublesome place in the entire Giant Tomb City because it was the place where the true spirits of the evil gods were nurtured. So the work there was all about serving others, and it didn't matter who was in charge. It didn't matter whether they wanted to be in charge or not.
...
At the same time, in the western Haotian, heaven, Baidi Immortal Palace.
Zhang Fei was reporting to the Western Emperor Haotian and the White Emperor Shaohao about the investigation into the evil god in Yishuixianfang.
"Your Majesty, with the help of the Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, I finally found some clues about the evil god of Yishuixianfang. I also have an idea of the whereabouts of the owner of Yishuixianfang and others." Zhang Fei said.
The White Emperor, wearing his imperial robes, sat high up in the seat and asked, "Where did they go?"
Zhang Fei reported, "They were transported to the demonic realm by the evil god's formation."
"Demon Realm?" Baidi frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"
Zhang Fei said, "With the testimony of the Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, this news was obtained with their help."
Baidi said: "The Demon Realm is independent of the Nine Directions Heavenly Realm and is the main realm of the Demon Cult. This matter is extraordinary."
Zhang Fei said, "According to the Bodhisattvas' speculation, those evil gods are most likely hiding in the Demon Realm, or...someone in the Demon Cult is sheltering those evil gods..."
Before Zhang Fei could finish, Baidi raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Things haven't been confirmed yet, don't speak rashly."
Zhang Fei bowed and said, "Yes."
At this time, Baidi asked again: "Where are those Bodhisattvas who helped you? Who are they?"
Zhang Fei quickly reported, "In the Haotian World, they are three of the twenty heavenly Bodhisattvas. They are Indra Bodhisattva, Dhritarashtra Bodhisattva, and Vaiśravaṇa Bodhisattva."
Baidi asked again, "Oh? The twenty heavenly Bodhisattvas usually stay at Lingshan, assisting the twenty heavenly fortunes of Buddhism. Why did they come to the Haotian World?"
Zhang Fei said, "I don't know either. I just heard from the Bodhisattva Zizaitian that he was inspired by something unknown and seemed to have a chance to be in the Haotian World."
Baidi nodded slightly and said, "Go and invite the three Bodhisattvas to the heaven for a chat. Tell them that I have hosted a banquet in heaven."
"I will obey the order." Zhang Fei respectfully accepted the order and left.
A day later, Baidi hosted a banquet in the western Haotian Heaven Realm to entertain the three Bodhisattvas, Indra, Dhritarashtra and Self-sacrifice, and Liu Bei, the Grand Sima of Taixuan Division, and Zhang Fei, the Grand Sima of Tianshu Division, were in attendance.
After a round of toasts, Bai Di asked about the matter of Yishuixianfang, mainly to confirm whether the whereabouts of those evil gods were really in the demon world.
The Bodhisattvas Dhritarashtra and Vaiśravaṇa were extremely certain, especially Vaiśravaṇa, who swore with conviction, "Your Majesty, I have been inspired by the will of Heaven to find myself in this vast world of Haotian. This opportunity seems to be connected to the matter of the evil spirits of Yishuixianfang. Therefore, I can be certain that the evil spirits of Yishuixianfang are hiding in the demonic realm."
Bai Di nodded and said, "I don't doubt you three, fellow Taoists. However, this matter concerns the Demonic Cult. If it's not handled properly, it could lead to war. Who knows how many lives would be lost."
At this time, Liu Bei said: "Your Majesty, you might as well send Tianshu Siming to the Demon Realm to negotiate and ask them to assist in the investigation. It should not be difficult."
Chiguotian immediately said, "Master Zhaolie's words make sense. Your Majesty, in the name of the Western Heavenly Emperor, and with your decree, if the Demon Cult is asked to assist in investigating the evil god, they will certainly not refuse."
Baidi nodded and said, "Okay, Master Huanwei, I will issue a decree tomorrow. You will take this decree and, in the name of the Western Heaven, go to the Demon Realm to negotiate with the Demon Cult and request their assistance in investigating the evil god."
Zhang Fei immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "I will obey your orders."
The White Emperor then ordered Zhang Fei to take a seat. Suddenly, Emperor Shitian looked at Liu Bei and said, half-jokingly, "Master Zhaolie, I heard you are of the Red Emperor's bloodline. How come you are now serving under the White Emperor?"
Liu Bei was stunned and turned to look at Emperor Shitian. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Not only Liu Bei, but even the White Emperor Shaohao mentioned above, as well as the two Bodhisattvas Dhritarashtra and Shakyamuni Buddha were a little confused, and the White Emperor himself was very embarrassed.
Chiguotian raised his hand to support his forehead, approached Indra and whispered, "Fellow Daoist Indra, if you can't speak, don't speak."
Indra also realized that he seemed to have said something wrong. The atmosphere was extremely awkward for a moment. It was obvious that this was a very awkward conversation.
Fortunately, Zhang Fei reacted quickly and said immediately: "Hey, whether it is the Red Emperor's bloodline or the White Emperor's bloodline, they are all ministers of the Heavenly Court, serving the welfare of all beings in the Three Realms under the Great Celestial Lord. Why should we distinguish so clearly who we serve under?"
As soon as Zhang Fei said this, the awkwardness in the hall was immediately relieved, and Liu Bei immediately raised his glass to toast everyone.
