The Petty-Minded Hongyun
Chapter 71 The Petty-Minded Hongyun
East China Sea.
The Kunpeng, having left the Heavenly Court, flew towards the East Sea at top speed.
Kunpeng's expression shifted constantly throughout the journey, his heart filled with both shock and anger.
"Those two, Di Jun and Tai Yi, are no good! They actually want to use me to save face for the Sage!"
"No, we can't stay in this Heavenly Court any longer; it will have to be disbanded sooner or later."
Just as he was pondering, a golden light flashed before his eyes, and the sound of chanting surrounded him.
Looking up, we had arrived at the Buddhist Kingdom of Yingzhou.
Countless giant Buddha figures sat in the void, surrounding the Buddha land.
Endless beings bow before the Buddha, seeking entry into the Buddhist order and to meet the saints.
This vast and solemn scene made the already somewhat uneasy Kunpeng even more anxious.
"The karma between me and this ancestral Buddha can be big or small, and it was this ancestral Buddha who implicated me and caused me to lose my holy position."
"I had no choice but to order the demon race to search everywhere."
"The demon race is currently at a disadvantage, and Di Jun and Tai Yi are resorting to all sorts of desperate measures; they've even come up with this method, so it seems they're really in a hurry."
Standing thousands of miles away from the Buddha Land, Kunpeng hesitated several times before finally gritting his teeth and flying into the Buddha Land.
"Demon Master Kunpeng, pay homage to the Ancestral Buddha!"
The Kunpeng's voice was loud and clear, resounding throughout the Buddhist land, attracting the attention of countless living beings.
Kunpeng waited for a long time but received no response.
Feeling the gazes of countless creatures below, Kunpeng's face flushed red, and his eyes turned sinister.
Just as he was about to leave, suppressing his shame and indignation, a voice came from the Buddhist land.
"The sorcerer has descended upon the Buddhist land; the sage has summoned him..."
A bald Buddhist disciple, with a face as white as a baby's, appeared and led the Kunpeng into the room.
After Kunpeng went inside, Guixuan's Azure Lotus clone appeared in the distance.
"They've even forced Kunpeng over. It seems Dijun is getting a little anxious for the last holy throne."
"But what will the beings of this primordial world feel when all nine holy positions have appeared?"
After a long while, Qinglian's clone walked away from there.
Not long after, it appeared on the eastern side of the prehistoric continent, hundreds of millions of miles away from the coast of the East Sea, and sat there cross-legged.
In the blink of an eye, three thousand years have passed.
Gui Xuan, who had been sitting cross-legged there, slowly opened his eyes. "You've arrived."
In his gaze, a white figure slowly walked over from afar.
Gui Xuan looked at the other person with a smile, "Long time no see."
Nuwa smiled as well, "The Dao Ancestor has been waiting here for a long time. It seems that my Dao is not wrong."
Over countless years, she has traveled throughout the primordial world and encountered all kinds of creatures.
Cause and effect are intertwined, and battles continue.
Although the Buddha's light shines everywhere, reducing the evil energy of heaven and earth.
However, the Buddha had not yet appeared, and the Buddhist disciples' cultivation was still shallow, so the Dharma had not yet reached every corner of the prehistoric world.
This also gave Nuwa a deep understanding of her own Dao.
Seeing Guixuan again today fills me with joy.
Her path is about to be completed!
Gui Xuan said calmly, "Your path lies beneath your feet."
"I have come here to preach to you again, to perfect your way."
Nuwa bowed slightly, "I humbly request the Dao Ancestor Guixuan to bestow upon me the Dharma!"
Although this person is not a saint, he has already reached the level of a saint, especially in his understanding of the Dao, which may surpass that of another Dao Ancestor.
Nuwa was overjoyed to receive the teachings of the two Dao Ancestors to perfect herself.
Gui Xuan nodded. "The laws you have comprehended are mainly about creation and life, but you don't know that the laws of this world are intertwined and the principles of law are everywhere, and there is a reason for it."
As they spoke, innate spiritual energy gathered and continuously transformed in the void.
Rays of light emanated from Gui Xuan, illuminating the heavens.
Nuwa sat cross-legged in front of him, her aura flickering.
As Guixuan continued to explain, her aura grew increasingly powerful.
In the blink of an eye, he reached the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.
A woman in a red coat appeared beside Nuwa, holding a red embroidered ball.
He bowed slightly to Guixuan, then disappeared into Nuwa's body.
Time flies.
When Gui Xuan was preaching the Dao.
Fuxi has already led his people to the East Sea.
Looking at the calm East China Sea, I once again felt the Buddha's light shining upon me.
A sense of peace gradually settled in Fuxi's heart, and the malevolent energy he had accumulated in the Heavenly Court began to dissipate rapidly.
"He truly deserves to be called the first sage besides the Dao Ancestor."
With a sigh of praise, Fuxi disappeared from the chariot.
Bai Ze heard his voice, "The 30,000 demons can stay here. You will come with me to see the Buddha."
"We have come to meet the saint, not to fight a war."
Fuxi stood thousands of miles away from the Buddhist land, his voice echoing across the Eastern Sea: "Fuxi of the Heavenly Court, come to see the Buddha!"
"We implore the Sage to open the gates of Buddhism!"
boom!
Golden light shines, and ten thousand Buddhas turn around.
Above the East Sea, ten thousand phantom Buddhas, spewing lotus flowers from their mouths, formed steps in the void, appearing beneath Fuxi's feet.
Bai Ze was shocked by this scene. "Xi Huang has such a great deal of influence!"
However, considering that Xi Huang was once one of the three thousand holy beings of Zixiao Palace alongside the Sage, and that he had a sister who was considered a destined Sage, it all seems normal now.
But he didn't know.
When another being in the Buddhist realm saw this scene outside, he was so angry that his nose almost twisted out of shape.
Kunpeng sat cross-legged not far from the red clouds, surrounded by Buddhist chants that formed golden Buddhist characters and Taoist patterns, drawing him together.
An endless pressure emanated from these Dao patterns, suppressing him for three thousand years.
Seeing this scene again today, and recalling his own arrival in the Buddhist land, he spat out a mouthful of golden blood.
This scene was witnessed by Fuxi and Bai Ze, who had just entered.
"Is the Demon Master unable to withstand my Buddhist teachings?"
Hongyun sat solemnly in the Buddha Hall, his voice ethereal.
"It's only been three thousand years. Compared to the tens of thousands of years you've spent sending demons to hunt me down, this is just the beginning."
hiss! ! !
Who said this person has a good temper?!
Why does she seem even more petty than her own demon master?!
Bai Ze gasped, looking at the listless Kunpeng in the distance, his scalp tingling.
Was it a case of making an example of someone to warn others, or was it unintentional?
In an instant, Bai Ze quickly and quietly took a few steps back, standing silently behind Fuxi.
Fuxi seemed not to notice, walked into the Buddhist hall, bowed to Hongyun, and said, "May the Sage enjoy boundless blessings!"
With a thought, Hongyun lifted Fuxi in the void and said in a gentle voice, "No need for formalities. We are both disciples of the Zixiao Palace who listened to the Dao. Although I now honor the Dao Ancestor Guixuan, we still have the bond of fellow disciples."
"I always remember the kindness of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and have never forgotten it."
Golden light appeared, and two prayer mats materialized before Fuxi and Bai Ze. "Sit! Sit!"
"·····"
Hearing those familiar words again, Fuxi felt a pang in his heart.
You really haven't forgotten!
That pit of primordial purple energy was kept in mind by this petty fellow, who often mentioned it to other primordial deities.
Despite thinking this, Fuxi still sat down.
At the same time, he mentally criticized the previous actions of Di Jun, Kunpeng, and other demons.
How much pressure must have been applied to drive such a kind-hearted person to this state...?
As soon as he sat down, a large number of magical treasures appeared in the Buddhist hall.
Fuxi said solemnly, "I have come here on behalf of the Heavenly Court and the Demon Race to apologize to the Sage for the past transgressions!"
"Oh dear, why are you being so polite? Do you think I'm such a petty person?!" Hongyun looked at Fuxi with displeasure.
"The past is the past; as a saint, I have long since let go of it."
puff!
As Hongyun spoke, the Kunpeng in the distance spat out another mouthful of golden blood, its face turning deathly pale.
You still say you're not petty?!
Bai Ze felt a shiver run down his spine and secretly vowed never to provoke the person in front of him again.
She holds grudges too much!
He remembered that when the Dao Ancestor gave his three lectures, it was his own demon master who secretly instigated the primordial gods to relentlessly pursue this ancestral Buddha for tens of thousands of years.
What goes around comes around. I never expected Kunpeng to fall into Hongyun's hands so quickly, and in such a miserable state.
Fuxi glanced at Kunpeng and said, "The demon race has no intention of being enemies with Buddhism. We hope that the Ancestral Buddha will show mercy."
The meaning is quite clear at this point.
With a wave of his hand, Hongyun caused the magical treasure on the ground to disappear. "I already knew your intentions. Buddhism has no intention of getting involved in the conflict between you and the Witch Clan."
"Before the 100 million witch soldiers entered the Buddhist land, they had already voluntarily broken away from the witch clan; they became Buddhist soldiers of our Buddhism and converted to Buddhism."
"If the Heavenly Court wishes to settle its karmic ties with me, it is quite simple."
Fuxi's heart stirred, and he spoke, "Please enlighten me, Sage!"
Hongyun's aura suddenly changed, becoming sacred and solemn.
"Preach the gospel!"
"Our Buddhism intends to spread its teachings across the vast and desolate land; your demon race will not be allowed to obstruct it!"
Fuxi was startled!
This is preparation for spreading the Dharma throughout the world!
For a moment, Fuxi's mind was racing.
The yin and yang energies swirled in his eyes, and countless principles of heaven and earth appeared in his mind.
Even Bai Ze behind him had a serious expression, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
After a long while, Fuxi shuddered and softly uttered, "Approved!"
"My Heavenly Court will also send out one hundred million demon soldiers, who will break away from the demon race and become Buddhist soldiers, paving the way for the spread of Buddhism!"
"Xi Huang!"
Bai Ze's expression changed drastically.
One hundred million demon soldiers breaking away from the demon race—this is a major event!
We need to get the consent of the Demon Emperor and the Eastern Emperor.
But Fuxi waved his hand and said, "I am the Xihuang of the demon race, and my words represent the Heavenly Court."
Hongyun smiled. "The Emperor Xi possesses great courage!"
Using Dijun's wealth, he did his own thing.
This Fuxi, wow~~~
Just as the Daoist Ancestor Guixuan said, none of the ancient gods and saints were simple.
Having been taught by Gui Xuan and essentially ready to graduate, Hongyun instantly understood Fuxi's plan.
This approach not only serves to curry favor with the saint but also delays the war between the two tribes, buying time for Buddhism to spread.
Fuxi got to play the good guy both ways, while Dijun and Taiyi, the two suckers, had to thank Fuxi for his generosity in the end.
Fuxi smiled and said, "My little sister is about to become a saint, so as her elder brother, I can't help but show my support."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze looked at Fu Xi in astonishment.
Only then did he understand Fuxi's purpose.
He couldn't help but silently recite a few lines of scripture for the two demon emperors as a token of his gratitude.
The two powerful demons stayed in the Buddhist hall for a while longer before leaving.
Before leaving, Bai Ze tried several times to ask Kunpeng to come with him, but Fuxi interrupted him each time.
In the end, he could only recite a few verses for Kunpeng in his heart, look at Kunpeng with pity, and silently leave behind Fuxi.
"Xi Huang, the Demon Master..."
Bai Ze hesitated for a few moments but finally couldn't help asking.
"If the Demon Master can overcome this tribulation, his karmic ties with this Sage will be severed in the future; it is not appropriate for us to interfere."
"The fact that the Buddha did not directly kill the person involved in the cause and effect of life and death is already a testament to his magnanimity."
Fuxi sat in the middle of the chariot and spoke calmly.
"Go back and report today's events to the Demon Emperor. Send one hundred million demon soldiers and thirty Great Luo Golden Immortals to the Buddhist Land as quickly as possible."
Then it disappeared into the carriage without a trace.
Bai Ze was left alone to sigh, "It's truly like walking on thin ice..."
