The Jade Emperor was the ruler of the Three Realms. In this era where the saints were hidden, he was the well-deserved ruler of the Three Realms.
since ancient times, the will of heaven has been high and difficult to ask.
As a god in the common sense, he could not express his opinion at the first moment.
As he asked, the gods below looked at each other.
A nine-star general walked out and said loudly,""Reporting to Great Heavenly Venerate, the two demon kings of Flowerfruit Mountain have no respect for the Heavenly Dao. They have humiliated the Dragon God and disturbed the Nether World. Their crimes cannot be forgiven. I beg Great Heavenly Venerate to quickly send troops to destroy Flowerfruit Mountain and return the world to clarity.”
Ao Guang looked at him gratefully.
This nine-star general was not one of the four great nine-star generals of Heavenly Court, but he had some status.
Usually, for the sake of his own convenience, the Dragon King was very filial to his colleagues in various positions in the Heavenly Court, so there were also people who spoke up for him.
Retracting his gaze, Ao Guang shot a glance at Hades without batting an eyelid.
He thought to himself, Those two Flowerfruit Mountain Monster Kings are indeed ferocious. I've only been in the Heavenly Court for two hours, and they've even stirred up the Netherworld.
At the same time, he was glad that he had restrained himself at that time and did not really clash with them.
Even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva from the netherworld had suffered a loss, so how could his old arms and legs block a few attacks?
The Jade Emperor didn't comment on the general's suggestion and continued to wait for the others 'opinions.
However, the performance of the gods below was very interesting.
For example, the twenty-four gods of the celestial heavens were silent.
They were all disciples of Jie School during the God-Sealing War. Their names were on the God List and they were restricted by the God Throne.
What Dragon Palace was robbed, what Hell was smashed, it had nothing to do with me.
The Flowerfruit Mountain's Monster King did not fight to the heavens. Even if he did, it would depend on Sir System's mood whether he would contribute or not.
Hurry up and go back to where you came from.
This was the most honest thought in their hearts.
Among the civil officials, there were some who wanted to propose subduing the demons. Firstly, it would show the dignity of the Heavenly Court. Secondly, it would be a good deal to Yama and Dragon God. Why not?
However, as civil officials, they could hold back and wait for the right time to speak.
Of course, there were also people like Nezha who could not wait for Ao Guang to suffer and were not interested in sending troops.
Therefore, the gods were silent, which was rare. For a moment, no one came forward.
When the Jade Emperor saw this, he was about to speak when a figure in official robes suddenly walked out.
This person had a sage-like aura, and his aura was calm. He was not angry and was dignified. He stood in front of the civil officials and gods.
He stepped out and bowed to the Jade Emperor, addressing him as Grand Empyrean.
Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King's eyelids twitched uncontrollably when he saw this person. He was half shocked and half afraid.
The reason was very simple. He had been scolded by this person more than once in court meetings. Not only him, but many high officials of the Heavenly Court had also been scolded by him.
As for why they were criticized, there were many reasons. Some were because they had really made a mistake, but more because they were close to Western Buddhism.
This person was called Zhang Ziyang. In the celestial heavens, he was called Daoist Master Zi Yang, or Divine Lord Zi Yang. He was in charge of the Inspection Department and specialized in finding mistakes among the gods. He was a ruthless character. (Note 1)
The most important thing was that this person was an extreme Taoist Divine Lord. He hated Buddhism and was the vanguard of the anti-Buddhism.
Sure enough, he said," Great Heavenly Venerate, the Flowerfruit Mountain Demon King despises the celestial heavens and deserves to be killed. There's nothing much to say about this. I want to talk about something else. The demon monkey has caused chaos in the cycle of reincarnation. According to the rules, the Ten Kings of Hell should report to the Lord of Mount Tai Prefecture and let the Great Emperor of East Peak take action. If the Great Emperor of East Peak is not around, he should also report to the celestial heavens. Why would Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva take action?”
Yan Jun's expression changed slightly. At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief and thought to himself that it was true.
He was also a Yama King who had been in the celestial heavens for many years. He knew how severe the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in the celestial heavens was. If he was not careful, he would be dragged into it and not even dregs would be left.
He quickly said," Jade Emperor, this matter has nothing to do with us, the Ten Kings of Hell. We didn't ask Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to subdue the demon. He came on his own."”
Yes!
Many people in Heavenly Court focused their gazes.
In particular, the gods of Jie School, who were originally watching the show, seemed to be in high spirits.
The Battle of Gods Investiture was fierce. Sect Leader Tongtian's Tribe of Severity was almost completely destroyed. Other than the orthodox gods on the Investiture of the Gods, many of them entered Buddhism. Some were Dharma protectors, some were Bodhisattvas, and some were even reduced to mounts.
In the hearts of the Jie School members, Chan School was hateful, and Buddhism was not much better. They had to find an opportunity to hit them when they were down.
They glanced at Sir God Zi Yang and laughed secretly. He had acted without asking for help. This matter could be serious or minor, but Zhang Ziyang was best at making a small matter big.
"You didn't ask for help and acted on your own?" Divine Lord Zi Yang's face turned serious.”
He cupped his hands at the Jade Emperor and said," Great Heavenly Venerable, this Buddhist baldy…Bodhisattva is so arrogant. The Inferno is an important place for reincarnation and the Heavenly Court controls the Three Realms. Originally, we allowed him to send a Bodhisattva to guard it. It was already a great gift to receive the Son of Buddha, but now he is still not satisfied. He wants to use this matter to interfere with the authority of the Ten Kings of Hell. This is a serious crime. We should call Sakyamuni to the Heavenly Court to punish him!"”
His tone was firm and decisive as he swept his gaze back and forth between Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li and the few immortals who had close ties with Buddhism.
And what he said was not wrong. The Jade Emperor was the master of the three worlds, and Spirited Mountain was also under his jurisdiction. Logically speaking, Sakyamuni was also considered a subject of the Jade Emperor.
He was the leader of the five elders of the five directions in Heavenly Court, he had status.
In the original Journey to the West, Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and the Jade Emperor also summoned him by issuing an edict.
Heavenly King Li couldn't sit still anymore. He had received a treasure from Dipankara Buddha and had a deep connection with the West. He stepped forward and said,""Your Majesty, this matter is inappropriate. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was concerned about the safety of the Netherworld, so he took action. Although there is a suspicion of overstepping, there is a reason for this. We should not punish him. Moreover, it is very inappropriate to summon Buddha.”
Even without him saying it, the others knew that it was inappropriate. Even Zhang Ziyang did not really want to summon Rulai. He was a great god, a subject of the celestial heavens in name, but in reality, it was a different matter.
He was just making use of the topic to make a fuss.
"Mind the netherworld?" he asked with a sneer. Did he capture the monkey that disturbed the netherworld, or did he kill the demon king who rescued him? Even if what you said makes sense and the guilty should be punished, the Buddhist Sect should not let Ksitigarbha King guard Hell anymore and should rush back to Spirited Mountain.”
Heavenly King Li was so angry that he almost could not help but raise the pagoda in his hand. Fortunately, he remembered that this was the Divine Wind Palace.
The eyes of the gods of Jie School lit up. This was the effect. They continued to attack him and chased the Buddhist Sect out of reincarnation.
Now, the Dragon God and Yama who had come to complain were extremely embarrassed. The topic had suddenly changed. Was this Flowerfruit Mountain going to be eradicated?
They lowered their heads and did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. They did not dare to continue this conversation. The water was too deep.
