Chapter 148 Storm is Brewing
In the meeting hall of Baolin Zen Monastery, the twelve bodhisattvas looked at each other.
At the same time, they fell into deep thought.
The holding of this banquet for defeating Cui coincided with their previous ideas.
And it also solved the problem of choosing a place for discussion.
However, they were still hesitant and undecided.
Firstly, it was too informal to let a mere Langya Wang family preside over such a major event.
Langya Wang family was just a branch of Jiangdong Wang family in the upper world.
It was not worthy of being taken seriously by Baolin Zen Monastery.
Accepting the invitation of Langya Wang family was a self-depreciation for Baolin Zen Monastery.
Secondly, this also made them lose an opportunity to confirm their leadership.
However, the former was agreed by all twelve Bodhisattvas,
while the latter was expected by some and opposed by others. Although the twelve Bodhisattvas were of the same level and had the same cultivation realm, there were still differences in age and seniority. The three or four senior Bodhisattvas were most likely to obtain the leadership.
Therefore, the remaining eight or nine Bodhisattvas with less seniority hoped that the leadership would not be determined for a long time, so as to avoid being led by their peers.
So now there is a very realistic problem in front of them.
Should they accept the invitation of Wang Clan of Langya?
"Whose idea was this?" asked the monk Ji De, the most senior of the twelve Bodhisattvas.
This old monk looked to be over 80 years old, but he was actually over 300 years old. His long white eyebrows had already drooped down to his chest, and his face was covered with age spots.
For a Buddhist warrior at the Bodhisattva level, this was almost the end of his life.
"Replying to the Bodhisattva, it must be the work of Wang Donglin, the messenger from the Jiangdong Wang family in the upper realm." Kong Hui said respectfully.
Then, he recounted the previous feud between the Langya Wang family and Cui Heng, and the matter of Wang Donglin's previous collusion to form an alliance to attack Cui.
Finally, he said, "The immortal king Dongyang and others from the Wang family of Jiangdong in the upper realm have also arrived in Langya, and they should also support him."
"I see." Upon hearing this, Monk Ji De nodded lightly, and then said indifferently, "Since it is just a small clan, there is no need to worry about it. Let's continue the discussion."
As the most senior one among the twelve Bodhisattvas, he is most likely to obtain leadership.
Moreover, he has gradually gained the upper hand in the previous debate. He will succeed in a few days, so he naturally does not want to interrupt.
But he made a decision directly on behalf of the Bodhisattvas, which immediately attracted dissatisfied voices.
"Brother Ji De, how many days have we been discussing this?" Monk Ji Tong also spoke up. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, and just over two hundred years old, making him one of the younger bodhisattvas.
"Oh?" Monk Ji De looked at Monk Ji Tong and said calmly, "What do you think, Brother Ji Tong?"
"Brother, do you still remember the purpose of our coming to the lower world this time? We were ordered by the Buddha to completely wipe out the Xianxia Sect and Daoyi Palace!" Monk Ji Tong directly brought up the Baolin Buddha and said in a deep voice, "If we keep discussing the location issue, how can we do things? Brother, have you forgotten the mission that the Buddha gave us?"
This immediately accused Monk Ji De of disrespecting the Buddha.
"You!" Monk Ji De's eyebrows trembled when he heard the words, and he shouted, "Stop talking nonsense!"
"Isn't it?" Monk Ji Tong was aggressive.
Although he was not as experienced as others, he was also a bodhisattva and was not afraid of Monk Ji De.
In Buddhism, etiquette is not important. As long as the cultivation level is the same, the generation is the same, and there is no special appointment, they are all equal, and there is no distinction between high and low.
"Okay!" At this time, Monk Ji Feng also spoke up and stopped the quarrel between the two.
He looked to be in his fifties or sixties, but his actual age was close to three hundred years old. He was the second most experienced among the twelve bodhisattvas after Monk Ji De, and he was the strongest.
"How about we compromise?" Monk Jifeng looked at Jide and Jitong first, and said in a deep voice, "Let's see the reactions of other immortal sects first, and then we will make a decision, how about that?"
Monks Jitong and Jide looked at each other, and nodded after a slight hesitation.
This is already a relatively peaceful way to deal with it.
If they continue to argue, it will not be good for everyone's face, so they should stop at the right time.
"Then let's do this, Konghui, remember to pay attention to the movements of other immortal sects." Monk Jide reminded him, and he seized the opportunity to do something decisive.
"Yes, Bodhisattva!" Monk Konghui respectfully withdrew, feeling a little regretful.
In fact, from his point of view, he really hoped that the matter of attacking Cui would be settled as soon as possible.
After all, it was he who put all the blame on Cui Heng.
As long as Cui Heng was alive, he would not be at peace. Only when Cui Heng died, he could be truly at ease.
After leaving the meeting hall.
Monk Konghui looked at the blue sky, sighed softly, and thought to himself: "This group of bodhisattvas are not much better than us ordinary mortals."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have some rebellious thoughts in his heart, "They are just a group of lucky people who were born in the upper world. If I could also be born in the upper world, I would definitely be a bodhisattva when I reach their age."
As a martial arts expert who opened the divine treasure and entered the divine realm before the age of 100, Monk Konghui has always been extremely confident in his qualifications.
He has always believed that if he had the cultivation resources and advanced martial arts of the immortals and Buddhas in the upper realm, he would have already cultivated the golden body of an arhat, and in time he would have been able to step into the realm of a bodhisattva.
Especially in recent days, this group of bodhisattvas, who were nominally discussing the meeting place, were actually fighting for leadership, which made him think more deeply.
"We must find a way to make this happen as soon as possible."
Monk Konghui thought to himself, "As long as Cui Heng is killed, and the Xianxia Sect and Daoyi Palace are destroyed, I will have the hope of being accepted into the Pure Land by the Buddha with my achievements this time.
"Only in this way can I have the opportunity to become a bodhisattva!"
...
Wei Yi's mood is very complicated now.
It can be said that he is surprised and happy.
What is surprising is that the White Tiger Boy has actually returned.
This guy is not dead!
When did Cui Heng become so soft-hearted that he didn't kill this earthly immortal from the upper realm, and even didn't imprison him, but directly released him.
What is he doing? !
The good thing is that the White Tiger Boy treated him better after he came back.
If the White Tiger Boy was moved by Wei Yi's profound licking skills before and wanted to do something for Wei Yi.
Then now it is the White Tiger Boy who is licking Wei Yi.
The earthly immortal from the upper realm now almost obeys Wei Yi's words.
This Jianyan Emperor has achieved an achievement that all the previous emperors of the Jin Dynasty dared not dream of, commanding an earthly immortal!
Wei Yi himself felt a little incredible. He
had no idea what the White Tiger Boy wanted to do.
In fact, it was just that the White Tiger Boy felt guilty for not fulfilling his promise to Wei Yi, so he planned to help him do something else to make up for it.
One day, Wei Yi brought the White Tiger Boy to the wall of the imperial palace.
He looked at the prosperous market outside the palace wall, and the tall wall in the distance, and sighed: "Fairy boy, do you think these people, this imperial palace, this imperial city, and the vast mountains and rivers outside the imperial city are all my things?"
"Your things?" The White Tiger Boy was a little surprised and asked in confusion: "The entire lower world belongs to our Tianxu world, why do you have this illusion?"
"..." Wei Yi's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and he was speechless.
He was still thinking about guiding the White Tiger Boy to recognize this concept, and then let the White Tiger Boy help him clean up Dajin. He
didn't expect this answer.
Although the White Tiger Boy is now obedient to Wei Yi, it is just because he feels a little guilty. The basic understanding of the lower world cannot be changed.
Wei Yi can directly let the White Tiger Boy kill certain people, but it is impossible to let the White Tiger Boy clean up certain people for "his Dajin".
This also made him understand that if he wants to clean up this broken country, he can't rely on the White Tiger Boy at all.
He still has to rely on Cui Heng.
But now the White Tiger Boy has been frightened by Cui Heng, and the previous alliance against Cui was easily broken by Cui Heng. What else can make Cui Heng take action?
Wei Yi fell into deep thought.
"Emperor, you seem to be troubled?" White Tiger Boy saw the change in Wei Yi's mood and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, I'm just a little worried about the decline of this country." Wei Yi sighed, and this was what he really said.
"So you are still thinking about killing Cui Heng." White Tiger Boy was frightened and turned pale, shaking his head repeatedly, "I advise you to give up this idea. I can't help you, and no one in this world can help you."
"Ah?" Wei Yi was confused.
When did he say that?
He immediately realized that in order to lure White Tiger Boy to die, he had linked the weakening of the Great Jin Dynasty to Cui Heng.
However, he didn't expect Cui Heng to leave such a huge psychological shadow on White Tiger Boy.
He was so scared just because of an irrelevant sentence.
This is an earthly immortal!
How powerful is Cui Heng?
"Your Majesty!" At this moment, a shrill voice came from a distance. It was the attendant Wang Chun who hurried over.
"What happened? Why are you so anxious?" Wei Yi frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy.
"Your Majesty, it is indeed an important matter." Wang Chun said hurriedly, "The Wang family of Langya sent an envoy, a human immortal from the upper realm, named Wang Dongkang, who said that there is something extremely important to see your Majesty and the White Tiger Fairy Boy."
"The Wang family of Langya, a human immortal from the upper realm?!" Wei Yi was surprised to hear this, and then looked at the White Tiger Boy and asked, "What do you think, Fairy Boy?"
"Go and meet him." The White Tiger Boy nodded and smiled, pretending to be interested.
...
The news that the Wang family of Langya was about to hold a banquet to attack Cui spread throughout the world at a very fast speed.
And as the Emperor of Dajin and the Yushou Fairy Sect accepted the invitation, even the four major fairy sects that were preparing to annihilate the Xianxia Sect and Daoyi Palace were alarmed and decided to go to the banquet to see the situation.
The twelve bodhisattvas of Baolin Zen Monastery finally gave up the fight for leadership and selected five bodhisattvas to go to Langya County, Yanzhou.
People all over the world can feel that this will be an incomparable storm.
At this time, it is brewing.
The mastermind behind the arrangement of this banquet is currently in the governor's office in Changfeng Prefecture, staring at the golden chariot that originally belonged to the White Tiger Boy.
At this time, seven days have passed since the White Tiger Boy descended.
The sky dew above is about to condense into crystal.
Cui Heng intends to study what this sky dew crystal is.
See if it can provide some help to his own practice.
Sorry, it's even later. I overestimated my typing speed
