Master Tieyi came forward with tears in his eyes and bowed to Sang Mojie, saying, "Disciple is here."
Sang Mojie looked at him and said, "You go and collect your father's body yourself. You can place Junior Brother Golden Eagle's body in the pagoda forest first."
Master Tieyi knelt on his knees, kowtowed to Sang Mojie and said, "Yes, thank you, Abbot."
Then Master Tieyi stood up, and with a flash of fairy light under his feet, he flew towards the corpse of his father, the Golden Eagle Dharma King.
"Ye Ming." Sang Mojie called again.
Master Ye Ming stepped forward quickly, bowed to Sang Mojie and said, "Disciple is here."
Sang Mojie said, "You must immediately take your disciples and take Elder Kongming's body to the pagoda forest for burial. After the Dharma Assembly for Good Conduct, the entire temple will hold a Dharma Assembly for the passing of Elder Kongming and Elder Jinying."
Ye Ming bowed respectfully and said, "Follow the law and decree!"
...
After dealing with all the affairs in Bukong Temple, Sang Mojie finally turned around and looked at Fang Jian.
Fang Jian was listening to the reports from General Fatan and General Pomiao at this moment. The generals who were previously blown away by the wings of the Golden Eagle Dharma King had now returned, but each of them had suffered some minor injuries to a greater or lesser extent.
"Kong Xiu is nowhere to be found."
This was what General Fatan and General Pomiao reported to Fang Jian. Fang Jian nodded after listening, and then said to Generals Fatan and Pomiao, "From now on, you two will lead the divine generals to seal off the interior and exterior of Amoghavajra Temple. If there is any sign of movement or suspicious individuals, do not hesitate to arrest them immediately or send a warning to all directions."
"Yes." The two generals, Fatan and Pomiao, bowed their hands in agreement. The Mingdi of the Heavenly Court was not the Mingdi of the mortal world. The Mingdi used by the Heavenly Court was a magic weapon refined by the way of "Xuanyin". Once released, the sound of the Mingdi could be heard thousands of miles away, and no barrier or formation could block it.
After General Fatan and General Pomiao led all the gods away, a fairy cloud descended from the sky. Above the fairy cloud were fluttering flags and awe-inspiring divine light. They were the three thousand gods brought by the messenger.
The messenger Chai Zhou looked at the mountains and forests outside the Bukong Temple that were stained with blood, and his face became serious. Then he fell down at the fastest speed.
"Your Excellency." After the messenger landed with three thousand divine generals, he immediately came in front of Fang Jian.
Fang Jian looked at him and said, "Messenger, you must immediately lead three thousand divine generals to seal off the three thousand li area surrounding the Bukong Temple and strictly prohibit anyone from entering or leaving. If you spot anyone suspicious, either arrest them immediately or send a warning via flying arrows."
The messenger bowed and asked, "Sir, I heard from the messenger that the general has disappeared."
Fang Jian nodded and said, "He disappeared in this Bukong Temple."
The messenger's face darkened upon hearing this, then he bowed and said, "I obey the order."
As the messenger led the three thousand divine generals away, Fang Jian turned to Sang Mojie and said, "Fellow Daoist Sang Mojie, the Dharma Assembly for Encouraging Good Deeds will be formally held tomorrow."
Sang Mojie was startled when he heard this, and then he said, "Master Hongqing, why don't you first find the general who captured and killed him before holding the Dharma Assembly?"
Fang Jian said calmly, "The Dharma Assembly for Encouraging Good Deeds is the first major event since I took charge of Xitian Prefecture. Nothing can stop the convening of the Dharma Assembly for Encouraging Good Deeds."
Sang Mojie hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that if I capture and kill the general, my life will be in danger."
Fang Jian said, "As an immortal official in the Heavenly Court, you must be determined to face death with honor. Furthermore, the true spirit is preserved within the temple. If the general who captures and kills him dies, the Heavenly Court will nurture his true spirit and allow him to reincarnate and enter the immortal path again."
Sang Mojie felt a chill in his heart when he heard Fang Jian's words. This Master Hongqing was truly a cruel, cold-blooded and heartless person. It could even be said that he would do anything to achieve his goals.
From the fight between Fang Jian and Kong Yan and the other three just now, it can be seen that this Master Hongqing does things in an unconventional way and will do anything to achieve his goals. After hearing what he said, Sang Mojie's understanding of Fang Jian has deepened a lot.
If this kind of person is an immortal official, it is best not to disobey him. If you disobey him, you must kill him immediately, otherwise you will end up in eternal damnation at his hands.
But if Fang Jian was so easy to kill, how could he have become the Minister of Xitian Prefecture? He would have been killed countless times.
"Fellow Daoist Sang Mojie, please arrange a cloud room for me. I need to take a bath and change clothes before the Dharma Assembly for Exhorting Good Deeds is held." Fang Jian said to Sang Mojie.
Upon hearing this, Sang Mojie nodded and said, "This is what I, Bukong Temple, should do."
After saying this, Sang Mojie turned around and called out, "Yeqing."
A young monk of profound immortality walked out quickly and bowed to Sang Mojie, saying, "Abbot, I am here."
Sang Mo admonished, "Hurry up and prepare the cloud room for Master Hongqing, and have him bathe and change his clothes."
"I obey the order." Ye Qing respectfully accepted the order.
Then Sang Mojie addressed the 118 abbots of the various Buddhist temples and Zen monasteries, saying, "Abbots, please return to your rooms and rest. The Dharma Assembly for Encouraging Virtue will be held as scheduled tomorrow. I hope you will not be absent."
The 118 abbots were horrified when they saw Fang Jian's fierce performance today, where he fought against four Golden Immortals alone, killing two of them, seriously injuring one, and letting one escape. They had no intention of escaping at all.
Then the 118 abbots put their hands together and bowed, saying, "We will follow the Master's instructions."
