These people were originally disciples of the Chan and Jie sects, and later converted to Buddhism. However, they encountered a certain killing fate, so their foundation was too shallow and they could not cultivate immortality. However, they were disciples of the four sects after all, and their true spirits should not be annihilated. It was destiny that they could enter the divine way.
Amitabha saw that the Tiandao Sect Master and Tongtian Sect Master were sitting silently, expressionless, and the scene was cold, so he spoke.
All the people in the scene were immortal, with the bodies of the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, which were indestructible for all calamities. They knew the fate of the past, present and future, and who did not know who was thinking about whom?
The four sects talked about it together, but they only sought that line in the destiny. In the present world, they promised their life, but their life was not the same as the beginning when it came to the end. The saints did nothing, but they still had to do this, but they just divided their emotions and chatted with boredom. Just like the people in the world playing hand games, some were upset about the gains and losses of a child, and some were not moved by the gains and losses of victory or defeat.
Zhou Qing saw that Tongtian Sect Master did not speak, and he also understood what he meant. All the disciples of Jiejiao have now returned to the heaven and are under the command of Tiandao. The two sects should be regarded as one sect, so the four sects are discussed together, and there is no Jiejiao.
You have to make your own decision
Even if a saint is like a chess player, he can still place his feelings on the pieces, and every time he has to give up, he still feels sad. Otherwise, how can he be a person
Yuanshi said: Just as Nuwa said, the foundation of the disciples of Tiandao Sect Master is shallow, but it has only been a hundred years. Fortunately, I am a disciple of the four sects, and my true spirit is not annihilated.
Nuwa said: That's right, Tiandao has such a shallow foundation, but it started from suicide, and it has countless cause and effect entanglements. If it does not enter the way of gods, it will end up in ashes, which is not kind.
Zhunti Taoist nodded and said: This is right
Amitabha and Yuanshi said: Just like this, this is destiny.
Zhou Qing had expected this to happen, he just sneered in his heart, and then said to Nuwa: What the goddess said, even if I am a disciple of the four sects, if my foundation is shallow and I have never been on the list, I will be destroyed if I am killed
Nuwa said: Although this is true, among the four sects, only the Tiandao sect has a suicide fate, entered the heavenly court for a hundred years, and coveted the emperor's treasure. Which sect disciple would steal the three realms' artifacts? It can be seen that among the four sects, only the Tiandao sect is included in this list. Those who have a little root bitterness will enter the divine way, and those without a foundation will be destroyed.
Zhou Qing secretly said: It is true that the mouth of a green silk snake and the needle on the tail of a wasp are not poisonous, but the heart of a woman is the most poisonous. This is the truth of heaven and earth, even a saint cannot go against it.
Nuwa was talking so fast that she stared at Zhou Qing with her almond eyes. Seeing Zhou Qing's strange expression, she guessed what he was thinking and became even more angry.
The leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect was really unreasonable. Before he became a Taoist, he disturbed my Nuwa Palace and abducted Daji. Although there was a cause and effect, it shouldn't have ended in my Nuwa Palace, which made me lose face. Now the four religions are talking together, and they insult me in their hearts. It's extremely hateful.
Let's not talk about Nuwa, the two Heavenly Dao Saints have thoughts about each other in their hearts. Yuanshi said: What the goddess said is a public opinion.
Amitabha nodded, and Zhunti Taoist said: Since it is a public opinion, we should do it. The leader of Tiandao can sign it. The killing luck has started for 500 years. He should have signed it earlier. However, because he waited for the leader of Tiandao to become a god, he was delayed a lot, causing great suffering to the people. There is no need to discuss these four religions together. It is not good to waste time and effort to decide it in one word.
Laozi listened and said: Signing it early is also a positive number
At this moment, Yuanshi, Laozi, Nuwa Niangniang, Zhunti Taoist, and Amitabha all looked forward to Zhou Qing and Tongtian Sect Master.
Tongtian Sect Master still did not speak, Zhou Qing secretly said: At this time, he is stronger than me, and he will make plans after a delay
At this moment, he said: The signing of the matter needs to be discussed three times, and it cannot be hasty. The four religions are fighting for nothing more than that ray of hope. In my opinion, it is precisely because of this ray that it is not perfect, and it has evolved into many entanglements. It is better not to have it. It's just that the leaders of the sects were angry and wanted to fight for it, which violated their original intention. It's not destiny.
Nuwa sneered and said: Don't talk nonsense. If you don't sign, the Tiandao Sect will be crushed, and even the Shinto Sect will not be able to enter the three Buddhist sects. I was compassionate and couldn't bear it, so I discussed signing with the four sects. Your foundation is shallow, this is a public opinion.
Zhou Qing said: It's not that I don't want to sign, but I really need to discuss it. When the two sects signed, they discussed it three times before the dust settled and the coffin was made. Now among the four sects, only my Tiandao sits in the heaven, and the three Buddhist sects are still in the world. There are countless evil karmas entangled, which cannot be resolved by my Tiandao signing. The leaders of the sects also know it, why do you say that I am talking nonsense?
Besides, the four sects are talking about the human and heavenly ways. The human religion is controlled by Laojun, the exposition religion is controlled by Yuanshi, the Buddha is controlled by Amitabha, and the heavenly way is controlled by me. The goddess is not among the four religions, why are you so fierce in your words?
Nuwa goddess was speechless for a while, her face was slightly red, and she was about to scold, but suddenly heard Tongtian Sect Master said: I don't control the religion, I don't hear about it. The goddess's words are not the right way.
Nuwa goddess was even more furious, and she wanted to do it, but Zhou Qing said again: This list is of great importance, and it really needs to be discussed again. So it's a hasty decision, even if you sign it, it won't be taken.
The goddess was furious and said: You don't have to sign it, just don't regret it later.
Zhou Qing said to Nuwa: The goddess, please be at ease, the matter of the Conferred God List is a dispute between heaven and man in the future. Your human emperor has not been established, and the human religion has not been settled. Signing it here is not a positive number.
Nuwa said: The Emperor of Man was given the Xuanyuan Holy Sword, and he will be the great ruler in the future, in charge of the three realms, and command the Heavenly Court. This is also a public opinion.
Zhou Qing said to Yuanshi: Is it a public opinion that the one who got the Xuanyuan Holy Sword is the Emperor of Man?
Yuanshi said: The Human Religion is in charge of the leader of the Human Religion, and I only manage the Chan Religion. The matter of the Emperor of Man, the Heavenly Dao Saint must ask the leader of the Human Religion.
Zhou Qing also said to Laozi: What does the leader think of the Emperor of Man?
Laozi said: These four religions can discuss this matter together.
Zhou Qing said: What the leader said is very good. The matter of signing the Conferred God will be put aside for the time being. The position of the Emperor of Man must be determined before we can discuss what the leaders of the Conferred God think
At that moment, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Amitabha, and Zhunti all followed their words. Nuwa was unhappy.
The four religions talked about signing the Conferred God List in order to fight for a glimmer of hope and ease the cause and effect of living beings. If I don't sign, I will be attacked by the three religions. Although I am a saint, I can't do anything. Even if I can reopen the world and perish together, it is ultimately a desperate strategy and not the best.
If I sign, it means I agree to ease the cause and effect. Even if my disciples can preserve their true spirits, they have to complete the killing calamity with others. Becoming the gods, they will be enslaved by the emperor in the future, just like a walking corpse. Although I have rescued them one by one, this is really against the will of heaven, and they will be punished by heaven and cannot be reversed.
The four religions of Zixiao Palace talked about signing the Conferred God List, and no one can regret it. This is the destiny of heaven. Even a saint cannot go against it. This is the destiny of heaven.
This is what happened after signing the Conferred God List. Tongtian Sect Master violated his promise and wanted to refine the earth, water, fire and wind after signing, but was finally stopped by Hongjun Taoist. Since the four religions are talking together, they cannot regret after signing.
How can a saint break his promise?
If you don't sign, it will be a matter of time, and it is also destiny, which cannot be reversed. Zhou Qing became a Taoist in the mortal world, and in his previous life he was a cultivator of the Qingqiu lineage. Although he is a saint, the word "human" still has more. How can he be willing to be completely annihilated?
If you sign, the sky will be clear and the earth will be bright. The human religion will flourish, and people will be in heaven, enslaving the gods. This is a destiny. Although Zhou Qing is a saint, he cannot save himself. This is destiny. Although the saints can see it clearly, they can't do anything about it. There is no reason to be lucky.
These are two points. All seven saints know it.
Under the destiny, there is no luck. The saints have a thorough understanding of the past, present and future, and there is no trick.
This matter is not clear yet, so it is natural to stir it up.
But the seven saints first decided on the emperor.
Nuwa said first: The four religions we are talking about are fighting for the ray of killing for the creatures of heaven and earth. The Fighting Buddha entered Nirvana to quell the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in the lower world. He has great compassion and should be the emperor of mankind.
Zhunti Taoist said: Buddha is originally Taoism, and they all come from the same lineage of Hongyijun. They should merge to prevent the killing calamity. This is exactly in line with our compassionate true meaning of signing the Conferred God List to fight for a ray of life. The reincarnation of the Fighting Buddha in Nirvana should be the emperor of mankind.
Amitabha said: My Buddha is compassionate
Yuanshi said nothing.
Tongtian Jiaozhu just sneered. Zhou Qing said: Although Buddha has been reborn, he has established another religion. The cause and effect of both sides are very deep. The idea of merging is like straightening out a mess, which is not advisable.
Zhunti Taoist said: The words of the Heavenly Saint are wrong. Haven't you heard that Laozi converted to Hu?
Zhou Qing said: Laozi converted to Hu, that's the original intention, but your Buddhist sect has only doctrines, but not self-discipline, and the disciples act recklessly. Laozi still can't sort it out, so it's the current situation.
Laozi said: This is a good saying. Let's have a meeting in front of Jinnan Pass. Only then will the Human Emperor be decided, this is a fixed number.
Nuwa, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Zhou Qing, Zhunti, and Amitabha all nodded: Just after the three meetings, the Human Emperor will be decided before the Conferred God List can be signed.
Zhou Qing said: No matter what the Human Religion argues about, I will come to sign it.
Zhunti Taoist said to Zhou Qing: That's right, you and I will have a meeting in front of Jinnan Pass.
Zhou Qing said: Someone must suffer, this is a fixed number.
At that moment, several saints returned to their palaces. It was said that the Conferred God List was determined after the three discussions, and now the names were on the list.
It was said that Zhou Qing returned to the Tiandao Palace, only to see Daji still sitting in a daze. Seeing Zhou Qing coming back, she was overjoyed and asked: Brother-in-law, is there anything going on when you go to sign the Conferred God List?
Zhou Qing said: I still need to start a killing spree, and then discuss the Conferred God List, but it still won't work. It will take three discussions before it can be completed. You can go back to the Heavenly Palace first, and when the killing luck is over, you will be with me.
Daji was overjoyed, and after talking for a while, she went down to the Heavenly Palace, the Pure Heaven, and returned to the Heavenly Palace as usual.
It was just that she felt bored every few days, so she went to the Thirty-three Heavens to see Zhou Qing, and Zhou Qing was free.
It was said that it was a few months later, and it was time for the killing calamity in the Three Realms to brew, and it was temporarily calm.
On this day, among the Sāra Pure Land, Wukong, Zhenyuanzi and Duobao Taoist were refining the Blood God, the incarnation of the Styx Cult leader.
The incarnation of the Blood God, the Styx Cult leader, was very powerful and kept it tightly. The three tried their best to suppress him to prevent him from being destroyed, but they had little success. Tathagata shouted: Blood God, since your true body has become a Buddha, why do you still keep this evil incarnation?
The Blood God laughed bitterly and said: Don't talk too much, I won't talk to you
Zhenyuanzi was about to speak, but suddenly felt that his mind was not clear. He quickly calculated, but there was no sign. He calculated several times in a row, and it was stable. Seeing this, Taoist Wukong said: What's wrong, brother
Zhenyuanzi said: If the Blood God is not refined, he will return to the Sea of Blood at any time, and he can't stop him. You are killing, and you can't delay. I think you can go to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain to ask for a talisman
Wukong said: That's good. Zhenyuanzi said: You can go to Zhunti Taoist and ask me for good and bad luck.
Wukong said with a smile: Brother Dao grew up in the chaos, there is no disaster or calamity, and the killing luck is not on the peak, why are you asking about good or bad luck. Zhen Yuanzi said: I was uneasy just now, I was afraid that something happened
Wukong said: I went to ask him and went to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain to meet Zhunti Taoist.
Zhunti Taoist gave him a magic talisman: The true spirit of the blood god and the blood sea of the netherworld are one, you can hold the talisman to refine it.
Wukong asked Zhen Yuanzi about it again.
How could Zhunti Taoist not know that Zhen Yuanzi's life was at stake, but he had to suffer a loss in order to replace the killing calamity and protect the Fighting Buddha, this cannot be said. He said: Who can be at ease when the killing luck comes? Go by yourself.
Wukong went back and told Zhen Yuanzi so that Zhen Yuanzi would not worry about it because he had to refine the blood god.
On this day, Yuanshi ordered people to take the Pangu Banner, and asked Yunzhongzi to come: You and my disciples of the Chan Sect, hold the banner to Chang'an, and you can complete the killing.
Yunzhongzi held the Pangu Banner, and called Huanglong Zhenren, Lingbao Xudao Zhenjun, Yuding Zhenren, Taiyi Zhenren, Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Daoxing Tianzun, and went to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
But it is said that the White Crane Boy came to Chang'an City first and informed the crown prince Li Yuan. Li Shang was discussing with the Eight Immortals, Jiang Ziya and others, and suddenly heard that the White Crane Boy
was coming, so he hurriedly bathed and burned incense, and went out of the mansion to meet him. After a while, he saw nine people coming. Li Yuan met them one by one and called them uncles.
You are the boy under the seat of this head teacher, and you were demoted to the mortal world because you stole the fire dragon pill. It is just right for the position of the emperor, and you can help us complete the killing, which is a destiny. Yunzhongzi said.
At that moment, several people entered the mansion without saying anything.
After a while, Li Yuan put on court clothes and came to see Li Shihao. Li Shihao asked: What's the matter with you coming to see me?
Li Yuan said: I have something to report
Li Shihao said: Please report it now
Li Yuan said: Zhuanxu reincarnated in the South China Sea and made trouble. Li Sheng has been unable to subdue him for a long time. I am afraid that the night will be long and dreamy. Li Shihao asked: What do you think?
Li Yuan said: Zhuanxu is the emperor of the prehistoric world, the grandson of Xuanyuan, with great prestige and orthodoxy. Although Li Sheng's brother has the Xuanyuan Sword, he is congenitally deficient after all. Father might as well go to the Fire Cloud Palace outside the Thirty-three Heavens and ask for the decree of Emperor Xuanyuan to ask Zhuanxu to retire, so that the disputes between people and religions can be settled. Emperor Xuanyuan is a great saint and benevolent, and he can't bear the disputes between people and religions, let alone the fact that the destiny of the world belongs to our Tang Dynasty.
Li Shihao was overjoyed when he heard this and said: This is true
He then fasted and bathed for three days. After three days, Li Shihao called together all the civil and military officials, and with flags flying, horns blasting, and gongs and drums roaring, he drove a dragon carriage to the Fire Cloud Palace outside the Thirty-three Heavens, ready to meet the Three Emperors.
On this day, Daji went to the Thirty-three Heavens again, and sat in the Heavenly Dao Palace for a long time. Her anger disappeared, and she came down from duty. Suddenly, she heard the sound of horns and gongs and drums, and thought to herself: Where did these noises come from outside the Thirty-three Heavens? She was curious and came here to find the sound.
