Chapter 177 I Have No Accounts to Settle
Zhunti naturally understood the meaning of "receiving guidance".
We can no longer care about Haotian's attitude.
We must first assign tasks, and then deal with them as they come.
Zhunti then said, "Very well!"
That's all we can do for now.
If Haotian knows what's good for him, that'll be fine.
If he doesn't know what's good for him, we don't need to indulge him anymore.
Now that he has attained the Primordial Dao, the one from Zixiao Palace has no reason to interfere in our struggle with him.
As for the fear of merit, it has reached the point of chaos.
Then Haotian would lose this support.
At that time, all I'll do is invite him to go to Chaos for a while.
So what if Haotian forced Yuanshi Tianzun to lose?
Previously, we faced the Three Pure Ones simultaneously, so we were no match for them.
But now we are two saints, working together to deal with him alone.
"Two against one, the advantage is in my hands!"
Upon hearing this, Jieyin's expression improved considerably.
He immediately replied, "Good!"
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, the first Yuanhui (a unit of time) has passed.
That day.
Haotian was in the Lingxiao Palace, summarizing the recent cases of the gods resolving karmic issues.
Haotian spoke up: "My lords!"
A whole cycle has passed in the blink of an eye.
Since the beginning of this century, everyone's efforts have been evident to all.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the workings of the universe proceeded in an orderly manner.
And half of the karma that plagued everyone was also resolved.
This is a cause for celebration.
The next Yuanhui.
I hope everyone will continue to work hard.
On one hand, they manage the operation of the Heavenly Court; on the other hand, they resolve karmic issues.
"Grasp with both hands, use both hands..."
Just as Haotian finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from the lower realm.
"Boom!"
Then came two golden beams that pierced the clouds and shot straight to the Heavenly Court.
Seeing this, Haotian's mind stirred slightly, and he understood the matter thoroughly.
A monkey has been born!
I hope you have taken my words to heart!
Otherwise, there's that place called the Heavenly Prison.
You are a disciple of Buddhism.
Do not!
If you really did those things, the Demon-Slaying Platform is your final resting place.
I'll think about it.
Haotian didn't bother with it.
He then continued, "In the next Yuanhui, I hope everyone will continue their efforts."
We will do a better job of maintaining the primordial order and resolving our own karma.
Don't become complacent after achieving some success.
All right!
"Do any of you gentlemen have something to report?"
As Haotian finished speaking, Kunpeng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty!"
A stone monkey was just born in the mortal realm.
This monkey has made such a commotion since it was born.
Should the Heavenly Court send troops to capture him and bring him to justice?
Haotian waved his hand and said, "No need!"
The stone monkey had just been born and had not committed any major mistakes.
There is neither karma on one's body nor entanglement in cause and effect.
This vast wilderness can accommodate him.
Moreover, that stone monkey itself possessed some merit.
If the Heavenly Court were to send troops to arrest someone over such a trivial matter...
On the contrary, it makes it seem like my Heavenly Court lacks tolerance.
As Haotian finished speaking, Laozi, who was usually silent, spoke up: "Your Majesty!"
Since the stone monkey has accumulated merit, why not summon him to the Heavenly Court?
"That stone monkey seems to have accumulated some merit; perhaps he can become a great help to the Heavenly Court in the future."
Upon hearing this, Haotian looked intently at Laozi.
"Laojun!"
You talked a lot today!
My position as a deity in Heaven was in short supply, even though I had accumulated merit at that time.
However, it was not something he had accumulated himself.
It's nothing more than relying on someone else's legacy.
His character remains unknown.
and also.
You and Yuanshi Tianzun can simply sell the Xuanmen Qi and fortune yourselves.
Don't drag me into this!
I have not yet reached the point where I need to sell out the fortune of the Xuanmen sect.
and.
Under my leadership, the Heavenly Court is now peaceful and clear.
There are no accounts; we need that monkey to balance them.
You'd better watch yourself!
I do not wish to hear such words again.
The words were spoken.
Haotian then stopped paying attention to Laozi.
The other cultivators listened to Haotian's words.
But he looked at Laozi with a mysterious and inscrutable expression.
This old Taoist priest has quite a story!
The Great Celestial Venerable just said that they were selling the Xuanmen's fortune.
What does this mean?
Despite the gazes of the other cultivators, Laozi showed no embarrassment whatsoever.
With a flick of his whisk, he said, "This old Taoist priest only wants to find some capable people for the Heavenly Court."
Since the Great Celestial Venerable...
Hearing Lao Tzu's tone, as if he were doing it for your own good, and you instead blame him instead of appreciating it.
Haotian was immediately displeased.
He then spoke up: "Laojun!"
What benefits did Buddhism promise you?
So you're leading that scourge to the Heavenly Court?
When the ten thousand immortals of the Jie Sect came to pay homage, why didn't you show them any favor?
Today, you come to me for the sake of a monkey I don't even know?
Don't talk about treasuring talent!
My Heavenly Court is full of talented people; we don't need any more.
Moreover, I dare not employ Subhuti's disciples.
I will not do something like inviting a wolf into my house.
Therefore, I became curious.
What benefits has Buddhism given you?
"Are you being asked to speak up and advocate for them?"
Seeing that Laozi was about to speak up and explain, Haotian immediately continued, "Don't tell me you don't know where that stone monkey came from."
As I am aware of Subhuti's chosen disciple...
It's likely that Laozi was aware of this as well.
Now, may Laozi tell me what's going on?
What is the reason that you want to place Buddhist disciples in the Heavenly Court?
Is it because the Taoist sect has too much fortune and needs to share some with the Buddhist sect?
Or perhaps they feel that I have managed the Heavenly Court too well.
Or perhaps they feel that I have managed the Heavenly Court too well.
Trying to make things more difficult for me?
Come!
Lao Jun!
Please tell me!
When Haotian asked him this question, Laojun could no longer hold back.
What could he say?
It is said that Buddhism granted him three small acts of merit?
They even granted him a spot for a great act of merit?
If this were to be said, even his own Supreme Sage would be in danger.
Everyone has to keep their face in their pockets.
That's complete nonsense.
Thinking about this, Lao Tzu also got a headache.
Why is Haotian so stubborn?
And he even pointed it out on the spot?
If something happens, you can't collect the merits first.
Then we can talk about it slowly, right?
Thinking of this, Lao Tzu had no choice but to say, "Great Heavenly Venerable!"
The heavenly secrets indicate that Buddhism is about to flourish.
Merit will naturally follow in due time.
The old Taoist knew that there was some distance between them.
But that doesn't stop us from accumulating merit first.
We can always go back and discuss the issues that have caused us estrangement.
Most of the gods in Heaven still have karmic burdens on them.
The old Taoist priest was also thinking that this opportunity would allow everyone to accumulate some merit.
Upon hearing this, Haotian sneered, "So it seems I misunderstood you."
It also blocked everyone's good things.
but.
"You really didn't know that Nasubhu also came to see me before?"
Laozi laughed and replied, "How dare I, an old Daoist, covet the territory of the Great Celestial Venerable?"
This old Taoist priest truly knows nothing about this matter.
Upon hearing this, Haotian said noncommittally, "Alright!"
I'll assume you truly don't know.
You must not know the conditions that Subhuti set, right?
I'm not afraid to tell you.
Subhuti, may you give all your remaining merits to me.
I will give him the prestige of Buddhism.
But do you know why I refused?
Lao Tzu replied, "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Haotian said in a deep voice, "Can't Laozi tell what their plans are?"
To bolster the image of Buddhism?
How can I strengthen them?
Once I agree to this matter, I'm afraid those two Buddhist monks will...
They can immediately step on my Heavenly Court to strengthen Buddhism.
Thus, the fortune of my Heavenly Court and the Xuanmen is lost.
Whose responsibility should be attributed to this?
