Chapter 517: To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation and distinguish the primary and secondary contradictions
"Humph, I expected this, it must be the lobbyists from the Western religion who have arrived!"

Wen Rui snorted coldly and said, "Maybe he has already arrived in the Heavenly Palace, but he couldn't find the place where I secretly imprisoned the Arhat, so he was delayed until now."

"Then I will drive him away?"

Li Tianjun doesn't care whether Taibai Jinxing is a favorite of the Jade Emperor. He is close to Wen Tianzun and Dou Mu Yuanjun. If the Jade Emperor wants to make any move on him, he has to look at the expressions of those two great gods.

"No need, bring him in to see me."

Wen Rui said nonchalantly, "This old man only remembers eating and not being beaten. I've beaten him so many times, but he still dares to come to my house. He's really brave. He has nothing else to do, so he's here, so he might as well get beaten together with these thieves."

Li De Tianjun held back his laughter and turned away. Soon he led Taibai Jinxing into prison.

When Taibai Jinxing saw Wen Rui, he tried his best to smile in a flattering way and said, "I have been grateful for the emperor's kindness these days. I haven't thanked the emperor for saving my life that day. Today is a coincidence, so I bow to him solemnly."

"It is my duty to save you. No need to thank me. Don't show up in front of me anymore. You are dirtying my eyes."

Wen Rui glanced at him with disdain, then turned his head away and watched with great interest the scene of the fairy interrogating the arhat while sipping the fairy tea, as leisurely as if he was watching a play or listening to a piece of music.

Only then did Taibai Jinxing see the horrifying scene of more than 400 naked arhats hanging in the prison, being whipped by two fairies holding white silk ribbons and making them howl like ghosts.

He was completely stunned. For a moment, his brain couldn't accept the scene in heaven that was similar to the tragic scene in the devil world. It took him a while to digest it.

The more he watched, the more difficult it became for him to calm down. The expression on his face was extremely wonderful, as if he could empathize with Luohan and put himself in Luohan's perspective. When he saw the white silk hitting Luohan, he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Li Xingjun, you are reminded of the past...PSTD is acting up?"

Wen Rui noticed Taibai Jinxing's unusual reaction and asked curiously, "Oh, I see. It turns out that when you were imprisoned in the Lion Cave, the ones who tortured you were the fairy ladies who later gave you candies."

Taibai Jinxing forced himself to calm down from the extreme fear, and said palely: "Emperor Wen, the Western Religion and our Heavenly Court have always had a close relationship. You can just arrest their Arhats. The Jade Emperor can still negotiate peace with the Buddha. This kind of torture will only make enemies."

Wen Rui raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Who said I abused them? I just swept a few pieces of light white silk over their bodies. Even if we send them for a medical examination now, we won't find any problems at all."

"Emperor Wen, they are Arhats with strong faith. They must have suffered a great sin to cry like this."

Taibai Jinxing said with a bitter face: "Guanyin Bodhisattva has already sought an audience with the Jade Emperor on this matter and has made a formal diplomatic representation, urging us to severely punish the murderer and release him as soon as possible."

Wen Rui chuckled and didn't respond, still looking nonchalant.

Taibai Jinxing continued, "The Buddha is magnanimous and has not made any unreasonable demands. All you need to do is apologize sincerely to the Arhats, ask for their forgiveness, and build a temple in the mortal world to worship the Arhats, and then the feud between the two sides can be resolved."

At this point, he pointed at the Arhats who were being beaten, frowned and said, "Now, even if the Emperor apologizes, they will never accept it. This matter is going to be very troublesome."

"Selling out the sky thief!"

Wen Rui pointed at Taibai Jinxing's nose and cursed viciously, "How can we make the Heavenly Palace better with a bunch of insects like you?"

"Eh?" Taibai Jinxing was stunned by the scolding: "I...I'm selling the sky?"

"Has the backbone of the Heavenly Court been broken by the Buddha? Or is it that the Buddha has boundless magical powers and has reached the level of covering the sky with one hand?"

Wen Rui sneered and said, "The Jade Emperor was so cowardly when facing the Western Church. Does Hongjun Daozu know this? As the representative of the defeated party, Guanyin Bodhisattva dared to make such an outrageous request. You didn't scold him to his face, but instead thought about how to calm things down?"

"But...but, we and the Western Church are both leaders of Xuantian Zhengdao. How can we fight among ourselves and let the demons laugh at us? Or even let the fishermen benefit?"

"You guys really don't have any strategic vision! You can't distinguish between the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction!" Remember my words:"

Wen Rui shook his head in disappointment and said, "As the saying goes, 'to fight foreign enemies, you must first stabilize the country.' Demons cannot occupy the entire Three Realms. Their reproductive capacity does not allow it, but Western religions can!"

"Humans are naturally weak and must unite to fight against nature. The extremely selfish survival philosophy of demons will never become the mainstream belief of humans. This is what is called 'evil cannot prevail over good'."

"Demons cannot defy Heaven, but Buddha can! 'Evil cannot prevail over good', 'Good can prevail over good'. Once the orthodoxy is taken away, all living beings will believe in Buddha. Buddha is an enlightened person. If everyone is enlightened and everyone can become a Buddha, what else do we gods need to do?"

Wen Rui's alarmist remarks actually replaced the future vision of the world controlled by Jiejiao's ideology with that of Western religion: "If we are forgotten by the human race and the orthodoxy no longer exists, the Heavenly Court will become a closed-door court, and will only be used as mascots by the human race to decorate the festive atmosphere during festivals..."

"Eh? Demons can't go against the will of heaven, but Buddha can?"

Taibai Jinxing was shocked by this fallacy. He had never thought about it from this perspective, and it greatly overturned his three views.

"Looking through the three realms, my Heavenly Court is the strongest on paper, but in reality it has shown signs of decline. The Western Church is second, and the demons and monsters are not even in the same league."

Wen Rui continued to instill poisonous ideas into him: "As the boss, if we want to maintain our dominance, we should keep a close eye on the second-in-command and do everything in our power to suppress the second-in-command, because the one who can threaten our position as the boss is not the struggle between good and evil, but the second-in-command."

"What's wrong with the Western religion being our ally? As the overlord of the prehistoric world, we are pitting our allies. How can we live well if we don't suck the blood of our allies? You bunch of political idiots are condoning the growth of the Western religion and nurturing a tiger to cause trouble. You are simply courting your own destruction!"

"Eh? The boss has to suppress the second in order to consolidate his position?"

Taibai Jinxing was confused: "This... this is too mundane, right? We are gods and Buddhas..."

"With incense and offerings, we are gods and Buddhas. Without incense and offerings, we are obscene worshippers, evil gods, superstitious, and indescribable things!"

Wen Rui sneered, "The struggle for orthodoxy is not like inviting people to dinner, writing articles, painting or embroidering. It cannot be so elegant, so leisurely, so gentle, so kind, respectful, frugal and modest. The struggle for orthodoxy is a holy war, a violent action of one religion overthrowing another!"

Taibai Jinxing's mouth opened into a "0" shape. He knew that Wen Rui had poisonous thoughts, but the more he listened, the more he felt that it made sense.

Originally, he was sent by the Jade Emperor to come to Wen Rui to plead for mercy, asking him to release the Five Hundred Arhats and teach the West a lesson, so as to make a big thing small and a small thing nothing, and eliminate the impact of this friction.

Now after hearing Wen Rui's outrageous remarks, Taibai Jinxing didn't know how to ask for the release of the person.

He dared not wear the hat of a thief.
