Chapter 205 5 General Assembly
Chapter 205 Five Sects Conference
The disciples from the major sects in the Rabbit Slaying Alliance went to the transport ship to identify the female disciples of their own sect, and then, according to Wen Rui's instructions, persuaded them to come forward to testify and expose the evil deeds of the Dingguang Immortal Sect.
There were indeed many female cultivators who were unwilling to come forward to testify, but Wen Rui's suggestion of going into seclusion in the illusionary world afterwards and traveling back in time to the time before the crucifixion really solved their worries.
The so-called seclusion in a fantasy world is actually being taken to the new energy center to be a battery, and wasting the rest of your life in the virtual space of the matrix until you die naturally due to your lifespan.
This is actually not a good ending. Everything in the illusion is false. Once you fall into the illusion, no matter what you do, you cannot accumulate merit. After death, you will most likely not be able to be reborn into the upper three realms.
But Wen Rui respected the fate of others and did not reveal it.
You choose your own path. Although escaping is shameful, it works.
Although he disagreed, Wen Rui could understand it, so he designed this solution in exchange for the victims coming forward to testify.
Apart from Wen Rui, no one in the Three Realms can offer better conditions.
After Master Tongtian failed in the battle to become a god, he wanted to recreate the world by creating earth, fire, water and wind, but he was unable to go back in time to before the war. This shows that even saints find it difficult to display this kind of magical power of time.
In this way, Wen Rui signed an agreement with all the rescued female monks, promising them that no matter when in the future they could not bear the pressure of reality, they could go to Jinling Sect and live in seclusion in the illusion at any time.
Immediately afterwards, the members of the Rabbit Slaying Alliance boarded the transport ships and led the rescued female monks back to their respective sects.
Overnight, the news that the Dingguang Immortal Sect kidnapped female monks from the Chan Sect and the Ren Sect and secretly detained them to commit beastly acts spread to all major sects in the human world and was exposed to the world.
There were no Lishan disciples among this batch of rescued victims. The poor female demon cultivators often did not even have the qualifications to be breeding animals to produce offspring. When they got tired of playing with them, they would be slaughtered, skinned and bones removed to be refined into Tantric magic tools.
……
In the conference room of the Jinling battleship, only five people were sitting at the huge oval conference table.
They are:
The leader of the Jinling Sect is Wen Rui.
The leader of Zi Yang Immortal Sect is Zi Yang Zhenren.
Fairy Han Yuan, the leader of Yunxiao Immortal Sect.
The leader of the Jade Ding Immortal Sect is Zhenren Changqing.
Xue Bao, the leader of Jinting Immortal Sect
Xue Bao was wearing golden armor, he was tall and strong, with a fierce and rough face.
Changqing Zhenren has white hair and a youthful face, a broad forehead and big ears, and looks like he has a long and blessed appearance.
The Jinting Immortal Sect is somewhat special. Although it is a sect of the Chan school, it is a physical cultivation sect that produces military generals. The three major families in the sect take turns to be the boss. They are the Wei family, the Xue family, and the Han family.
Today, the political status of the Wei family in the sect has plummeted because their ancestor Wei Hu has joined the Western Religion, and the Wei family has lost the qualifications to serve as the sect leader. The sect leader of this generation is Xue Bao, the head of the Xue family.
These four major sects of the Chan school regularly send talents to the Heavenly Palace.
After ascending to heaven, disciples of Ziyang Immortal Sect can often get a position as a minor official in the Heavenly Court.
Most of the disciples in Yunxiao Immortal Sect are women, so naturally they serve as maids and weavers.
The Yuding Immortal Sect produced a medicine boy and a fire-making boy.
The Jinting Immortal Sect sent out heavenly soldiers.
You all have a very bright future ahead of you all…
"Ahem." Wen Rui cleared his throat and spoke first: "Masters, I have summoned you to attend the 'Five Sects Conference'. I don't need to explain the reason, right?"
True Man Zi Yang looked righteous, nodded solemnly and said: "Master Wen, Chang Feng has already reported to me. I never expected that Dingguang Immortal Sect would commit such an evil deed. It is intolerable to heaven!"
Zhenren Changqing sighed lightly: "Our sect has always been kind to others and is most enthusiastic about helping fellow practitioners. Our female disciple was deceived by the Dingguang thieves with a despicable scheme. She was tricked into going to Xiniu Hezhou on the pretext of treating plague, but the result... How despicable! How hateful!" Wen Rui knew very well in his heart that although Lao Deng spoke nicely, he was actually not a good person. He secretly sold a lot of elixirs for strengthening yang, stabilizing pregnancy, nourishing yin, and tonifying the kidney to the Dingguang Immortal Sect.
Before the scandal was exposed, the Yuding Immortal Sect was so happy to make money by doing something dishonest.
"The Dingguang Immortal Sect murdered female cultivators, their crime is unforgivable!"
Fairy Yunxiao reacted most violently, because among the victims were younger members of her tribe. After listening to the cries of those poor girls, it was hard for her, as a female cultivator herself, not to empathize with them.
"The Dingguang Immortal Sect has committed such a shameful act, which is indeed infuriating, but..."
Xue Bao, who was dressed like a military commander and looked rough and crude, said thoughtfully: "Ancestor Dingguang has already attained the status of a bodhisattva. Bodhisattva Dingguang Dahuanxi has three great arhats under his command. If we rashly make an enemy of them, our chances of winning are slim."
Zi Yang Zhenren said in a cold voice: "Sect Master Xue, the ancestors of our four major sects are no ordinary people. Are you afraid of a mere Bodhisattva from the Western Diocese?"
Xue Bao retorted, "Zi Yang, it's true that our ancestors have great magical powers, but it's a pity that they are in seclusion and don't walk around the world like the Bodhisattvas of the Western Religion. For example, last time the Jinling Sect almost overturned the gate of your Zi Yang Immortal Sect, and your ancestors didn't come out to stop them."
"you!"
It is not a good idea to expose someone's weaknesses when insulting him. Xue Bao's sarcasm made Master Zi Yang so angry that he frowned.
Wen Rui curled his lips, thinking that the leader of the Jinting Immortal Sect seemed to be behaving a little abnormally, actually helping the Western Sect to speak, and his butt was obviously crooked.
Could it be that he also wanted to follow Wei Hu's example and run to the Western Church to seek a position as a guardian deity? This would be better than becoming cannon fodder among the 100,000 heavenly soldiers in heaven after ascending to heaven.
Apart from anything else, the Western religion is much more generous in granting official titles and making wishes than the Heavenly Court. Wei Hu joined the Western religion and started as a guardian general, and was soon promoted to Bodhisattva Weituo.
The Tathagata also promised him that after serving 999 Buddhas, he would become the last Buddha of the Kalpa of Virtue, Buddha Lozhi.
He is very good at drawing cakes.
On the contrary, the heavenly court has a very low level of status. The number of official positions given out becomes smaller and smaller. No matter how capable one is, it is good enough to be given the title of Bi Ma Wen. If there is any trouble, he can only be given the title of the Monkey King, which is just a nominal title.
"Brother Ziyang, please be patient." Wen Rui advised, "What Sect Leader Xue said does make some sense. Even if we put all of us together, we are no match for a Bodhisattva."
"Huh?" Master Zi Yang was stunned.
Not only True Man Zi Yang, but also several other sect leaders including Xue Bao looked puzzled.
You have to know that Wen Rui and Dingguang Immortal Sect are old enemies, and their hatred is very deep.
Before the scandal was exposed, he was the one who jumped the most enthusiastically. Whenever he had the chance, he would incite several major sects of the Chan sect to become enemies with the Dingguang Immortal Sect.
Now that the scandal has been exposed, three of the four major immortal sects have made their positions clear and really want to fight the Dingguang Immortal Sect, but he has started to speak softly.
"But..." Wen Rui changed the subject: "The purpose of starting a war is not to kill the Bodhisattva, but to kill the evil disciples of Dingguang. The original intention of the Great Joy Bodhisattva was good, but the people below misread the sutra. We kill the rebellious disciples of Dingguang and also clean up the house for the Great Joy Bodhisattva."
"I have studied the Joyful Zen Sutra. The biggest problem with this sutra is that it requires extremely high wisdom and character from the practitioner. Those with evil thoughts reading this sutra are like reading a devil's book."
"The clear bodhicitta of the Great Joy Bodhisattva was misinterpreted by his unworthy disciples, causing them to commit boundless evil deeds. We cleared the karma for the Bodhisattva and supported the Dharma. The Bodhisattva can't wait to thank us, so how could he possibly attack us?"
"We did pre-war propaganda to 'support Buddhism and do good deeds for the Buddha', and put all the blame on the disciples of Dingguang, making the case an ironclad case. How can the Bodhisattva of Joy jump out and support those evil disciples who did the deeds of the descendants of Po Xun?"
"If he really jumps out, wouldn't it be confirmed that all the karma was created under his instructions?"
"Where will the Western religion put its face then?"
"I'm afraid Tathagata will have to personally come out to clean up the mess."
