Chapter 269: Both the Buddhist and Taoist Worlds Were Shocked
When he heard Tieguai Li introduce himself.
Hundreds of people from both the Buddhist and Taoist communities at the scene were all shocked.
Not to mention those who practice cultivation.
Even ordinary Chinese people.
Who doesn’t know the reputation of Li Tieguai?
According to Taoist scriptures such as Volume 5 of "General Mirror of Gods and Immortals of All Dynasties" and Volume 1 of "Complete Biographies of Immortals", Li Tieguai had unkempt hair and curly beard, huge eyes, a bare belly, and an ugly appearance. He had his hair tied up with a golden hoop, and walked with an iron crutch. He often carried a medicine gourd on his back and wandered around the world, practicing medicine and curing illnesses. Later, when he accomplished his merits, he was named a supreme immortal by the Jade Emperor.
When everyone thought about it carefully, didn't the appearance of the Immortal Li just now look exactly the same as the one recorded in the "General History of Gods and Immortals of All Dynasties"?
The most crucial thing was that Immortal Li displayed boundless power. It took him only a little over a minute to rush from Huangshan Mountain to Rizhao Tiantai Mountain and back. During that time, he also refined the Immortal Terrace, the ancestral temple of Fangxiandao, into magma, and then captured the souls of all 32 members of the An family and sent them into the hell of knife mountain together.
At this moment, no one dared to doubt the authenticity of the statement that Li Xianren called himself "Li Tieguai"!
With such magical powers, who else could it be if not "Li Tieguai"?
The thought of Immortal Li is Li Tieguai.
Zhang Tianshi and Taoist Priest Li looked at each other, and both saw extreme shock in their eyes.
Why were they so shocked?
Because Li Tieguai is also known as "Li Tieguai" and "Mr. Tieguai", he is the most senior of the Eight Immortals of Taoism.
Perhaps he is not the most powerful immortal among the Eight Immortals of Taoism.
But no matter what, Li Tieguai is one of the Eight Immortals!
More importantly, in the myth, Li Tieguai was Laojun’s disciple.
Laojun is also one of the Three Pure Ones, Three Realms and Three Treasures of Taoism's supreme gods.
One can imagine how lofty the status of Li Tieguai is in Taoism!
And now, there is a fairy with such a high status.
He is actually just the guardian deity of the Fangxian sect under Master Fang?
Taoist Priest Chen and Taoist Priest Xu couldn't help swallowing.
Only now did I realize how high the true status of Fang Zhenren, who founded the Fangxian Sect, is!
I dare not say that he is as noble as the Three Pure Ones, Three Realms and Three Treasures, but at least he is above the Eight Immortals!
According to the ranking of Taoist gods, the Eight Immortals can be ranked in the fifth tier.
What kind of immortals are in the first four levels?
The fourth level is Leizu, Jiutian Xuannu, Sanguan Emperor, etc.
The third level is the Five Elders of the Five Directions, Metal Mother, Wood Father and the Five Emperors.
The second level is the Jade Emperor, Dou Mu Yuan Jun and other gods.
Needless to say, the first-tier supreme gods in Taoism have always been the Three Pure Ones, the Three Realms, and the Three Treasures.
Therefore, we can infer that if Master Fang can command Li Tieguai, the leader of the Eight Immortals, to be the guardian deity of religion, he must be at least at the same level as Leizu and Jiutian Xuannu!
Maybe even more noble.
Zhang Tianshi couldn't help but be secretly shocked, thinking that maybe Master Fang was the reincarnation of a big shot on the level of the Five Elders of the Five Directions or the Four Emperors?
It’s not just Zhang Tianshi who makes this guess.
Taoist Priests Li, Xu, Chen and others all thought so.
Some people even recalled that Li Tieguai was a disciple of Taishang Laojun.
Xu Xiaoli and Lu Shisheng also call Tieguai Li "Uncle Master".
People began to wonder whether Fang Yi was also Laojun's disciple.
Among Laojun's disciples, Xuanyuan Huangdi, who was accepted by his incarnation Guangchengzi, had the highest status.
Laojun's disciple?
To command the immortal Li Tieguai?
Could it be that Master Fang is the reincarnation of Emperor Huangdi?
You should know that the status of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi in Taoism is similar to that of Gold Mother and Wood Father.
He is second only to the Three Pure Ones, Three Realms, Three Treasures and the Jade Emperor.
Zhang Tianshi was a little afraid to imagine it, and whispered to Taoist Li: "Brother Li, do you think our Master Fang will..."
Taoist Priest Li also thought of this possibility.
He nodded seriously, "It's possible."
"Hiss, if Master Fang is really the reincarnation of Emperor Xuanyuan..."
"Then he is one of the founders of Taoism and the first ancestor of humanities!"
"This identity! This status!"
"If I hadn't seen Immortal Li's true appearance today, I might never have guessed Master Fang's true identity in my entire life!"
A group of Taoists completely changed their attitude towards Fang Yi.
In the past, everyone respected Fang Yi for his boundless magical powers and great supernatural abilities.
However, now that everyone has vaguely guessed Fang Yi's "true identity", they are all filled with the utmost respect.
The monk was also guessing.
Zen Master Jiecheng was startled and thought, could it be that Master Fang is really the reincarnation of the Buddha?
Only he and a few people in Tianning Temple knew that this matter was false.
At the beginning, they did not want to lose face after suffering a loss in silence, and they also wanted to curry favor with someone, so they announced to the public that Master Fang was the reincarnation of Sakyamuni Buddha.
But now that Li Tieguai has appeared, Zen Master Jiecheng naturally believes that he might have made a wrong move in the first place!
Well, he was always a Buddhist monk.
Even though all the evidence shows that Fang Yi is indeed a Taoist master.
In his heart, he still thought of Master Fang as a Buddhist leader.
Master Juncai was also chatting with the monk next to him, "It seems that the real person is really the Buddha!"
Another elderly monk nodded slightly, still talking nonsense, "Of course it is."
Another young monk was puzzled and asked: "Why did the Buddha enter Nirvana and reincarnate as a Taoist?"
The elder monk who had spoken earlier boasted, "Our Buddha Tathagata has tens of millions of incarnations, and he transforms according to the needs of all living beings. What's so strange about him transforming into a Taoist? Maybe the Buddha reincarnated into Fang Zhenren this time to save all Taoists from dire straits."
Then……
Well, the Buddhist and Taoist worlds almost staged a real-life PK again.
Fortunately, the consequences of the killing of the 32 members of the An family were still fresh in their minds, so the Taoists and monks did not fight.
Whether they were Taoists or monks, they all understood one thing clearly at this time.
No matter whether Master Fang is the reincarnation of Emperor Huangdi.
Or is it the rebirth of Sakyamuni Buddha.
At the very least, you can't cause trouble in Huangshan Taoist Palace.
Otherwise you won’t even know how you died!
Why?
Why else?
Haven’t you seen the scene of the An family with 32 people?
The Taoists and monks almost fought over Fang Yi's "belonging".
But they did not forget to pass on the latest information they received today.
On the one hand, they want to show off.
On the other hand, he warned his disciples and friends not to offend anyone in Huangshan Taoist Palace.
Mr. Fang has a very good temper.
From beginning to end, he never took out his anger on anyone in the Buddhist or Taoist world.
But the guardian deity of Fangxian sect, Li Tieguai, does not have such a good temper.
If you really offend Huangshan Daojun Palace, death is just a luxury.
He will be thrown into the hell of swords and suffer for 54 billion years!
…
The news spread like wild goose with wings, all over the mountains and rivers.
"Have you heard?"
"What?"
"The ancestral temple of Fangxian Dao was destroyed, and the entire An family was wiped out!"
"Fuck, who did this?"
"Wow, you still don't know about this? Let me tell you in detail. An Keyang was very angry because of the dispute between Fangxiandao and Fangxianpai..."
Some people who didn't know what had happened were suddenly frightened and panicked when they heard their friends tell the whole story.
Dongshan, a Quanzhen Taoist temple.
Several Taoists were gathered together, chatting about this matter in surprise.
One of the middle-aged Taoist priests said with fear in his eyes, "Oh my god, even the Immortal Tieguai Li is the guardian deity of Master Fang? Moreover, the Immortal Tieguai Li came to my Dongshan Rizhao and used the Supreme Fire Method to refine the Immortal Platform into magma. His method is really terrifying!"
There was also a young Taoist priest who was so frightened that his legs were shaking.
He looked timidly at the old Taoist priest who was sitting upright, swallowed his saliva and said, "Master... Grandmaster, next year when the Great Lord of Hunyuan Taichu is born, are we still going to find the real person to argue?"
The old Taoist priest almost burst into tears, his eyes widened and he yelled, "When did I say that next year Hunyuan Taichu Daojun would go to find the real person to argue? Don't talk nonsense, kid!"
Everyone was speechless for a while, thinking that everyone was against going to find Master Fang to argue, but you were the only one who went against the crowd and insisted that you must have a good talk with Master Fang when the time comes.
Wow.
Now that you know that Huangshan Daojun Palace is not to be trifled with, why are you so completely scared?
But when the Taoists thought about it carefully, they had no choice but to be timid.
Do we really have to drag the whole family, young and old, into the crematorium together?
Let me say something unpleasant.
Judging from the situation of the 32 people in the An family.
If you offend Master Fang, even going to the crematorium will be a luxury!
…
Hu built a temple.
The old monks were all terrified.
One of the old monks with many age spots on his face trembled and said, "Next year, on the birthday of Hunyuan Taichu Daojun, we must not go to Huangshan Daojun Palace, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
The other three or four old monks all nodded repeatedly with fear on their faces.
Who would be so reckless as to rush to Huangshan Taoist Temple to cause trouble at this time?
In the past, everyone was so stubborn because they knew that Master Fang had a very good temper and had never done anything to those who secretly resisted Buddhism or Taoism.
But today is different.
Master Fang has a good temper.
But his guardian deity, Li Shangxian Tieguai, has a bad temper.
Who the hell dares to touch Master Fang’s whiskers?
The most important thing is that there is a more mainstream rumor in the outside world now, that Master Fang is the reincarnation of Emperor Huangdi who has experienced tribulations.
Of course, Buddhism has confirmed that Fang Zhenren is the reincarnation of the Buddha after his nirvana.
Regardless of Xuanyuan Huangdi.
Or maybe the Buddha entered Nirvana and was reborn.
We can't afford to offend them.
What's more, his fighting power is so overwhelming.
This is the specific reason why everyone is scared.
Naturally, no one dared to argue with Master Fang.
Not only do I not dare to go to the door to argue.
I don't even dare to have this thought.
However, what surprised the old monks was.
Their abbot suddenly became tough, "Let's go! It's the birthday of Hunyuan Taichu Da Dao Lord next year, why don't we go?"
Hearing this, the other three or four old monks were so scared that they almost said, "I'd rather give up my secular life and stop serving you, you idiot."
However, what surprised them was
The abbot then added an extremely shameless remark, "Of course we have to celebrate the birthday of Hunyuan Taichu Da Daojun. After all, he is one of the supreme gods worshipped in our temple!"
The three old monks nearly fell down.
They all looked at the abbot in silence, thinking:
Damn, you are really smart, no wonder you can become the abbot!
…
Similar things are happening all over the place.
The ancestral temple of Fangxiandao was destroyed.
All 32 members of the An family were killed!
When this news came out, people from both the Buddhist and Taoist circles in China were all shocked.
A disagreement can destroy someone's ancestral temple.
To make an understatement, an entire family was wiped out.
No one expected that Huangshan Daojun Palace would act so cruelly in this matter.
Scared!
People from both the Buddhist and Taoist circles were horrified by the news.
The most important thing is that news has spread from both the Buddhist and Taoist worlds.
On the one hand, Master Juncai and other eminent monks confirmed that Master Fang was indeed "the Buddha's rebirth from Nirvana."
On the other hand, Taoist leaders such as Zhang Tianshi and Li Daochang told their disciples and friends that Master Fang was most likely the "reincarnation of Emperor Huangdi".
Whether it is "the Buddha's nirvana and rebirth" or "Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi's reincarnation and tribulations", everyone knows what it means.
These two are truly supreme gods!
All of a sudden, the diehards who had been planning to wait until next year when Hunyuan Taichu Da Dao Jun was born and Master Fang started preaching to argue with him no longer had such ideas and they all gave up completely!
