Chapter 226: Surrounding the Joyful Zen Temple
Chapter 226: Surrounding the Joyful Zen Temple
The four sect leaders had a secret conversation and privately distributed the credit for killing the general that Wen Rui had given up.
The credit for defeating the two great Arhats was all attributed to True Man Changqing.
At the same time, the Yuding Immortal Sect took out 2 billion spirit stones and bought the Jinling.
This giant floating ship will be sent to the Yuding Immortal Sect, which will use all of the sect's wealth and treasures to decorate it.
We want to transform this battleship into the most magnificent pleasure boat in the Three Realms.
With the merit of beheading the general and the sincerity of presenting the treasure ship, it would be no problem to ask for an official title and reward.
The essence of the world is just a big makeshift team.
The Heaven Court nominally governs the three realms, and the priests' power and authority appear to be sacred, but in fact they often appoint officials and make wishes arbitrarily.
For example, a certain monkey, the official position of the so-called "Great Sage Equaling Heaven" was made up for him on the spot, and his duty was to send a monkey to guard the Peach Garden. How could it be any proper court rules?
Either all the officials in heaven have collectively lost their minds, or they are all pretending to be ignorant and acting according to the script to trick the monkey.
The law of true fragrance took effect again, and Master Changqing willingly became the biggest enemy in the Three Realms.
The fact that this fellow was able to come out on top shows that the Jade Ding Immortal Sect has made a lot of money from selling elixirs and spiritual weapons over the past few hundred years and has a deep financial foundation.
In addition to the cost of purchasing the Jinling and renovating it, I'm afraid he may have secretly given a lot of benefits to several other major sects in exchange for the opportunity to be appointed as an official.
Wen Rui guessed that the reason why Master Changqing was so obsessed with power was because he didn't want to become a medicine boy after he ascended to heaven in the future.
The immortals who ascended to heaven from the Jade Ding Immortal Sect, no matter how old you were before your ascension, or whether you look like an old grandfather with white hair and a youthful face.
When you go to heaven, the dragons have to coil and the tigers have to lie down.
The old man with white beard has to transform into a young boy with pigtails on his head and be assigned to a heavenly institution like the Medicine King Hall to act young and cute.
This rule is a bit strange, but also reasonable. Otherwise, there would be so many immortals ascending to heaven every year, all of them with immortal-like appearance and old age, and it would be unsightly to gather them in heaven.
Those who know think they have arrived in heaven, while those who don’t think they have arrived in a nursing home!
At first glance, they are all old immortals, so how can one tell who has a higher status or level of Taoism?
Perhaps Changqing Zhenren really couldn't bear to disguise himself as a boy, so he would rather sell out the wealth accumulated by the sect for hundreds of years in exchange for a position of immortal official that could maintain his youthful image.
Among the four major sects, the Yuding Immortal Sect is the richest, followed by the Jinting Immortal Sect. These two sects gave a lot of spirit stones, treasures and immortal pills to the Ziyang Immortal Sect and the Yunxiao Immortal Sect in exchange for the qualification to be deified.
As for Wen Rui, he was not greedy at all. 2 billion was agreed upon and it was 2 billion. He was still concerned about the sale of the Jinling. He did not participate in the distribution of military merits and stayed out of it.
While making money, I have completely cut off from the dirty and dirty things that are the root of my troubles.
Wen Rui is a good person to the end. He takes Taibai Jinxing to feast on the Jinling every day and makes clear arrangements for this special envoy from heaven.
In order to let the gods in heaven have fun, the Yunxiao Immortal Sect sent many female disciples to accompany them and also formed a dance team to perform dances at the banquet.
They danced to modern energetic songs and dances provided by Wen Rui, and wore cool and fashionable Taoist costumes produced by the Chamber of Commerce's Colorful Clothing Shop. They were much more energetic than the Colorful Feathered Dance performed by the fairies in heaven.
This is also done to provide cover for the male cultivators from the three major immortal sects and to buy time.
While the Heavenly Court delegation was indulging in feasting and pleasure, the male disciples of the three major immortal sects, including their sect leader, all slipped away to the underground base, forcing Cheng Ziwei to work overtime to complete the root repair surgery for all the members' troubles.
Cheng Ziwei was indeed reluctant, but she had no choice because they gave too much. The three major immortal sects, anxious to cover up the scandal, directly doubled the root cultivation fees.
Even if she only received a 5% commission, Cheng Ziwei earned more than 40 million spirit stones this time.
……
The meeting lasted for more than ten days, and the envoys from Heaven and the Five Sects Alliance each got what they wanted and both hosts and guests were delighted.
The core area of Dingguang Immortal Sect could no longer organize effective resistance. With the support of the efficient delivery capabilities of the transport ships, the Five Sects Alliance quickly captured all the strong cities and fortresses in the area. Nearly a thousand female monks who had been kidnapped by Dingguang Immortal Sect for hundreds of years and were still alive were also rescued.
In addition, thousands of children and infants were rescued from the Dingguang Immortal Sect’s major training grounds and breeding grounds.
Wen Rui accepted the baby as requested, transported it back to the Jinling Sect headquarters, and handed it over to a baby-raising robot to raise.
As for children, as long as they are over three years old, they must undergo a psychological assessment.
Wenrui also accepts children who pass the psychological assessment and sends them to Jinling Experimental Primary School to receive elementary education.
Those who are found to have been brainwashed by the Joyful Zen Sutra and cannot be reformed will be sent to the new energy base and put into cans to be crammed and cultivated into batteries.
Taibai Jinxing did not comment on Wen Rui's post-processing measures and did not make any judgment.
The Heavenly Official came down to earth, but he did not come to clean up the mess left by Western religions.
What's more, the Heavenly Court has never had the practice of cleaning up disasters in the lower world.
Demons are a scourge, and it is the duty of Heaven to kill them. Supporting orphans and providing relief to refugees have nothing to do with Heaven. All suffering beings should just let nature take its course and fend for themselves.
It's just a straw dog. If it can survive, it will be reincarnated. If not, it will be reborn.
The people on earth cannot even get relief food from the imperial court, so how can they expect relief food from heaven?
Even if there is food in heaven, it will be used to feed chickens and dogs, but not to feed the suffering creatures.
Taibai Jinxing is too lazy to care about such complicated and mundane matters, and is afraid of being implicated in cause and effect if he asks one more question.
The special envoy of Heaven was pleased to see that Wen Rui was able to step forward and take the initiative to share the worries. No matter how he dealt with the evil offspring, as long as he didn't kill all of them and hurt Tianhe, he could do as he pleased.
After completely occupying the core area of Dingguang Immortal Sect, the coalition forces of the five sects set out again and, according to the established combat plan, headed straight for Fanjing Mountain.
Mount Fanjing is located in the heart of Xiniuhezhou, not far from Lingshan, the ancestral home of the Western religion.
The ancestral temple of the Dingguang Immortal Sect is located at the foot of the mountain. It is a Lama temple with red walls, golden tiles and numerous pagodas.
On the top of Fanjing Mountain is the temple of Maitreya Buddha.
The immortal Chang'er Dingguang set up his temple at the foot of Fanjing Mountain in order to express his respect and following to the future Buddha.
It is similar to Wenrui's construction of the Jinling Sect base on a peak of Mount Li.
To put it bluntly, it means hugging thighs and seeking protection
The allied forces of the five sects lined up and formed a battle formation, surrounding Fanjing Mountain so tightly that no one could get in or out.
The Jinling was suspended at the same height as the waist of Fanjing Mountain. The hatch on the belly of the ship was opened, and countless black gun muzzles extended out, aiming at the temple complex below.
On the deck of the Jinling, Taibai Jinxing and the five leaders of the coalition forces stood side by side, looking down at the temple below.
Although they came with a righteous cause and had the will of heaven, the coalition forces of the five sects also acted with great discretion.
The height at which the Jinling was suspended did not exceed that of Mount Fanjing, showing due respect to the future Buddha Maitreya.
The closer we are to complete victory, the more cautious we must be. We must not let the West catch us or find fault with us, otherwise even if we are right, we will become unreasonable.
This is the key point that Wen Rui repeatedly emphasized during the pre-war meeting.
