"Ahem ahem … Senior Brother Zhenhan, your battle armor looks really mighty!
I wonder which blacksmith master of the Immortal Palace forged it? "
Draconic Horse Zhen Feng coughed and looked at the armor he had been looking at for close to two hundred years. He seemed to have discovered something strange and hurriedly asked Zhen Han.
Zhen Han said in all seriousness, "Is there a need to ask?
Naturally, it was forged by the number one blacksmith master in the world.
Oh, why don't you guess who the number one blacksmith master in the world is? "
"Aiyaya, this is not easy to guess …" Draconic Horse Zhen Feng's face was as if he was thinking hard.
Seeing Zhen Feng and Zhen Han talking about him, Zhen Kong smiled coldly and didn't say anything else.
However, Chun Zang didn't intend to let him go and said, "Zhen Kong, even if there was a Phantom Beast, it was enough that you subdued it. There was no need to kill it, right?
Moreover, this spirit rat wasn't a Phantom Beast. What was the point of killing it? "
"Monk …" Zhen Kong was somewhat impatient and said with a frown, "My strength is limited. It's not possible for me to subdue the Phantom Beast without injuring you!
It's already not bad that I was able to kill it before it could kill you … "
"Zhen Kong, how many times have I told you in the past two hundred years?
Buddhist disciples should be compassionate and respect life. When we need help, we should always be kind. When we sweep the floor, we're afraid of harming the lives of ants. We should cover the lamp with gauze to protect the moths.
Why did you kill it step by step?
Although this spirit rat wasn't a human, it was still a life. What was the point of killing this innocent spirit rat and obtaining the General Sutra? "
"Monk …" Zhen Kong seemed to be used to this, and he didn't get angry. He only said, "The Phantom Beast has already borrowed the spirit rat's flesh, so killing the Phantom Beast is equivalent to killing the spirit rat. Moreover, even if I don't touch the spirit rat after killing the Phantom Beast, it won't live past today!"
"That's right!
Since you knew that the spirit rat would die if the Phantom Beast died, why didn't you think of a way to subdue the Phantom Beast? "Chun Zang asked in a somewhat forceful manner." It's good to have this Phantom Beast submit to our Buddhist sect! "
"Monk, I've already beaten and killed those that should be killed!
Tell me what to do! "Zhen Kong was so angry that he laughed and retorted.
"You have no idea how many living beings you have killed along the way!"
Chunzang sighed. "You always say that there will be no next time, but when have you ever taken those words to heart?
I just want to ask you, will you do it again next time? "
"Monk …" Zhen Kong tossed the peach tree to the ground and calmly replied, "Don't ask me about this. Ask the demons and humans who want to take your life. As long as they don't want your life, I definitely won't do anything.
But if they want to hurt you, I won't show any mercy! "
Hearing Zhen Kong's words, compassion appeared in Chun Zang's eyes. All the living beings who had died under Zhen Kong's magic wand in the past 755 years appeared in his mind. He could not help but say, "Since that's the case, you … go …"
"Aiyo, master …" Seeing that Chun Zang was about to chase Zhen Kong away, Zhen Han hurriedly took a few steps forward and plucked a peach from the peach tree. She handed it to Chun Zang and smiled. "Look, the peach senior brother found is even more juicy than the immortal peaches in the immortal palace. Why don't you try it …"
Chun Zang looked at the juicy peach. In the end, he could not harden his heart and sighed. "Forget it. This is the last time. If there is a next time, I don't need to say anything …"
"Whatever!"
Xuan Kong did not care at all. He waved his hand as if he was chasing away a fly. "Do whatever you want. If it wasn't for master …"
Zhen Kong immediately stopped and looked at Zhen Feng and Zhen Han. The two of them perked up their ears and waited for him to continue. Thus, Zhen Kong shut his mouth for a moment and continued. "Otherwise, who would have the patience to protect you for 755 years?"
Zhen Feng and Zhen Han could not help but feel slightly disappointed when they saw Zhen Kong being so tight-lipped. They glanced at each other and sneered.
They had the same question. Just where did Zhen Kong come from?!
Just which Great Saint was behind him?!
However, it had been more than 755 years and they did not see any clues.
In Chun Zang's eyes, the so-called Sutra Seeking Extreme Bliss was a process of seeking the gospel for the millions of Buddhist people in the Hidden Immortal Continent. However, in Zhen Feng and Zhen Han's eyes, it might not be so. Perhaps, it was just a game to obtain merits and benefits.
Therefore, it was very important to have a place in the Sutra Seeking Extreme Bliss.
In fact, long before Chun Zang took down the Buddhist decree in the Tidal River Temple, the immortal palace and Leiyin Temple had already discussed this matter. However, this matter did not only involve Buddhism and Confucianism, it also involved the immortal palace and various Confucian families and even the Demon Race. Even when Chun Zang began his Sutra Seeking Extreme Bliss journey in the Longevity Town, he did not arrange everything properly.
In particular, right after Chun Zang left, Xiao Hua had a dispute with Sun Ping who was waiting for him at the Liao River. Although the two left the Longevity Town very quickly, the imprint of the immortal palace was unavoidable. Therefore, the matter that was already settled changed again.
It was not until more than a year after Chun Zang left the Longevity Town that a group of forces suddenly discovered that Chun Zang had actually accepted a Demon Race disciple. This disciple seemed to have been accepted overnight, and it also seemed to have been arranged long ago. However, the Buddhist Sect and the Confucian cultivators did not receive any message from the Demon Race!
Seeing that the Demon Race had already made the first move, the Confucian cultivators and the Buddhist Sect did not dare to delay any longer. On one hand, they arranged for an envoy to go to the Thousand Demon Sacred Realm to denounce the Great Saint of the Demon Race for not acting according to the agreement. On the other hand, they hurriedly arranged for Chun Zang's disciple.
Chun Zang originally had three disciples. One was a Demon Race disciple, one was a Buddhist, and one was a Confucian cultivator.
The Confucian cultivator disciple should be the Eldest Senior Brother. On the Hidden Immortal Continent, he was the first to accept Chun Zang as a nominal protector. After that, he went to the Nirvana World and accepted the second Buddhist as a real Buddhist disciple. As for the Demon Race disciple, he was arranged in the Nirvana World. After being subdued by the Confucian cultivator disciple and the Buddhist Sect disciple, he surrendered to the Buddhist Sect.
Yuan Tongtian's appearance was good. He took the Eldest Senior Brother's position. This Confucian cultivator could only be the Second Senior Brother.
The Second Senior Brother was Zhenhan. He was originally the son of the Military Family and was called Sun Zihan.
The status of this Confucian cultivator disciple originally did not belong to the Sun Family. Instead, the Immortal Palace gave it to the Dongfang, Ximen, Nangong, and Beiming, four big families. However, the status of the Eldest Senior Brother was already gone. The enthusiasm of the four big families to compete for the status also disappeared instantly. The four big families also did not have any disciples who were willing to be a Fire Ape's Junior Brother. Therefore, the status was given to the Sun Family again. Under the instruction of the Immortal Palace, the Sun Family chose Sun Zihan.
At first, Sun Zihan was convinced by Yuan Tongtian. However, in the end, it was because of Yuan Tongtian that he had the opportunity to enter the Nirvana World to seek scriptures. He was still grateful to Yuan Tongtian from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, on the Hidden Immortal Continent, he was courteous to Yuan Tongtian.
However, the essence of this kind of courtesy was a kind of pride as a human cultivator.
However, in the following few years, Yuan Tongtian's protection of Chunzang came from the bottom of his heart. He even risked his own life to save Chunzang. It was very different from what he thought. Zhen Han could not help but feel a little surprised.
Moreover, Yuan Tongtian did not care about some of his little tricks at all. Even if he was captured by some Taoist cultivators and wanted to kill him in front of Yuan Tongtian, Yuan Tongtian turned a deaf ear to it. Therefore, Zhen Han was completely relieved of Yuan Tongtian.
Moreover, this Demon Clan's Yuan Tongtian was indeed very resourceful. He was much more powerful than Zhen Han. On the Hidden Immortal Continent, almost all the work was done by Yuan Tongtian. He did not need Zhen Han at all. After watching for a while, Zhen Han got used to it. He also adjusted his attitude. Being the Second Senior Brother was fine. Anyway, he was also here to gain merit.
However, at this time, strange news came from the Thousand Demons Sacred Territory. The Demon Clan's Great Sage did not take action at all. The disciples arranged by the Demon Clan were still waiting to be subdued by the Confucian cultivators and Buddhist Sect disciples!
Chaos, chaos, this was Zhen Han's mood when he heard the news from the Immortal Palace that day.
He was almost impulsive that day. He wanted to ask Yuan Tongtian where he came from. Could it be that he jumped out of a stone?
However, as a Confucian disciple, he still had the self-restraint and patience. He did not open his mouth and only watched coldly.
The Immortal Palace and the Buddhist Sect were shocked when they received the news. They never thought that there would be a fourth force besides the Demon Race, the Confucian cultivators, and the Buddhist Sect that would disrupt their plans. The first thing they thought of was the Dao Sect, the Dao Sect cultivator who called himself the Primordial Chaos Ancestor!
However, they did not understand how the Grandmist Ancestor could know about the arrangement of the Sutra Seeking Nirvana. How could he send such a powerful Fire Ape in advance?
What made them even more dumbfounded was that whether it was the Immortal Palace or the Great Thunderclap Temple … they could not find the origin of the Fire Ape!
Even if they used great magical powers, they could not find Yuan Tongtian's origin. They could not find any cause and effect. This Fire Ape was really as Sun Zihan thought. It was like a stone that fell from the sky!
Naturally, the Immortal Palace and the Buddhist Sect had the intention to kill Yuan Tongtian.
However, they also saw clearly that the one who really protected Chun Zang was Yuan Tongtian. Zhen Han also said clearly that Yuan Tongtian was not interested in the merit of the Sutra Seeking Nirvana. He only cared about Chun Zang's safety!
Moreover, the one who accepted Yuan Tongtian was Chun Zang himself. In other words, this was Chun Zang's own choice. It had nothing to do with the Buddhist Sect, Confucian cultivators, or the Demon Clan!
Since it was Chun Zang's choice, the Buddhist Sect and Confucian cultivators had to consider more for Chun Zang. After all, the Heavenly Dao was flawed. Out of fifty, one would escape. Perhaps Chun Zang was that one who escaped!
In the end, the one who settled this matter was naturally the Mahavairocana Revered Buddha.
The Buddha Lord formed a Buddha seal with his hands. The Buddha light penetrated the heaven and earth. After a few days, the Mahavairocana Revered Buddha's eyes flashed with a strange expression. He said, "Since he wants to come, let him come!"
Then, the Mahavairocana Revered Buddha did not say anything more. He did not give any explanation at all.
Since the Buddha Lord of the Buddhist Sect did not object, the Immortal Palace naturally had no reason to object. Yuan Tongtian, the disciple with the Buddha name Zhen Kong, sat in the position of the Eldest Senior Brother.
