Unexpectedly, the Jade Emperor made such a big concession. Both Taoism and Buddhism were very satisfied, and extremely satisfied.
Then, the immortals of Taoism and Buddhism all bowed and said, "Great Celestial Venerable is wise!"
The Jade Emperor waved his hand slightly and said, "My fellow immortals, please enter the class without formalities."
"Thank you, Great Lord." The immortals from the Taoist and Buddhist sects were very satisfied. They immediately bowed in thanks and then returned to the immortal group.
At this time, Taibai Jinxing's voice came from outside the Lingxiao Palace: "Your Highness, the Immortal Hongqing has arrived."
...
Fang Jian, wearing a Qingxia Yudou Qilin robe, with his hair tied up and a hairpin, strode into the Lingxiao Palace.
He glanced around and found that all the immortal officials in the heavenly court were here, and the Taoist, Buddhist and immortal gods were also among them.
However, when Fang Jian glanced at the Buddhist side, his brows furrowed slightly because he saw a smiling face.
That was the smug smile of Vairocana Buddha. Fang Jian felt a little unhappy. There was a hint of cheerfulness and sarcasm, and even a hint of gloating, in the smile of Vairocana Buddha.
Fang Jian took a deep breath and temporarily ignored the disgusting smile of the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha. Instead, he quickly walked to the center of the Lingxiao Palace and bowed to the Jade Emperor, saying, "I, the guilty minister Fang Jian, pay my respects to the Jade Emperor."
Although Fang Jian had been dismissed from his posts as the Three Realms Patrol Inspector and the Heavenly Judge, he still held the position of Lord of the Broken Realm Mountain, so he referred to himself as a 'guilty minister' here.
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor finally smiled for the first time since emerging from seclusion. "Fang Jian, as the God of Justice, you strictly enforce the laws of Heaven and are impartial and impartial. What crime have you committed?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian simply bowed and kowtowed without saying a word.
The eyes of the Taoist and Buddhist gods twitched. They looked at the smile on the Jade Emperor's face and immediately felt something was wrong.
As the saying goes, when the Jade Emperor smiles, something bad happens! Especially when he smiles at Fang Jian!
As expected, the Jade Emperor did not disappoint them. He said to Fang Jian, "Fang Jian, since you took office as the God of Justice and Inspector of the Three Realms, you have worked diligently, strictly enforcing the laws of Heaven, punishing those who rebel against the law, and demonstrating the benevolence of Heaven and Earth. You have invisibly helped me resolve 50% of the karma in the Three Realms. Your contribution is invaluable!"
"Fang Jian, come forward and be conferred." said the Jade Emperor.
Fang Jian's heart trembled, and he immediately took three steps forward and bowed.
Then the Jade Emperor said, "On behalf of Heaven, I grant you thirty million merits and one hundred thousand robbery jades. I appoint you as the Minister of the Palace of the Heavenly Monarch of Xiniu Hezhou, a first-rank immortal official, to assist the Heavenly Monarch Youde in governing Xiniu Hezhou. In addition, I grant you a copy of the 'Jade Emperor's Calendar'. With this, you will be free from the constraints of the 'Heavenly Rules' when exercising your immortal official authority."
As the Jade Emperor finished speaking, a mysterious light fell directly in front of Fang Jian. After the mysterious light dissipated, a jade book with golden light quietly floated in front of Fang Jian's eyes.
Afterwards, Heaven bestowed thirty million merits, which were directly injected into Fang Jian's soul. In addition, one hundred thousand Tribulation Jades were directly sent by the Jade Emperor into Fang Jian's 'Cloud Pattern Qingfeng Sleeve Bag'.
Fang Jian's eyes lit up. Even he himself hadn't expected that not only would he not be punished this time, but he would actually be promoted two levels. However, he quickly suppressed his joy and immediately raised his hand to receive the Jade Emperor's Taoist Calendar. He then bowed and said, "Your Highness Fang Jian obeys your command! I kowtow to the Jade Emperor!"
When Fang Jian thanked them, Vairocana Buddha and Vajra Indestructible Buddha almost jumped up. If the immortals and gods of the Taoist sect were shocked and surprised, then the faces of the immortals and gods of the Buddhist sect were darker than those of Africans at this moment.
Jade Emperor, you are really deceiving me! You actually sealed this Plague God directly to Xiniu Hezhou, the very foundation of our Buddhist sect!
The Buddhist gods looked at the Jade Emperor, looked at Fang Jian in the center of the hall, and then looked at the Taoist gods. They finally realized a serious problem.
If Fang Jian's role as the God of Justice had "hurt" both the Taoist and Buddhist sects, then now only the Buddhist sect was "hurt."
Suddenly, everyone in the Buddhist sect shuddered and looked at the Tathagata Buddha who had his eyes closed, then looked at the Jade Emperor and the Taoist Patriarch Taishang Laojun who were smiling beside him. At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds: "Holy shit, have we been tricked?"
