Chapter 574: The Only Disciple Who Received the True Teachings
Chapter 574: The Only Disciple Who Has Received the True Teachings
"The Three Holy Ones of Fire and Cloud, meet Brother Tongtian."
The three saints Fuxi, Shentong and Xuanyuan did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly bowed and paid homage.
Nuwa carefully observed the furnishings in the bedroom.
Sofas are not a piece of furniture that should be found in this era. The various fruits and snacks placed on the jade table in front of the sofa are also very novel.
For example, bananas, strawberries, apples, watermelons, etc., you can tell at a glance that they come from the Chamber of Commerce’s experimental farm.
Nuwa even saw the fake peaches that Wen Rui gave her.
The TV series broadcast by Xuantian Baojing is also a new thing. The costumes and props are very exquisite, the special effects are also of good level, and the magical powers and spells look no different from the real ones.
There is also a row of bookshelves next to the Xuantian Treasure Mirror, on which the complete set of the Jiejiao Canon series of books are prominently displayed, all of which are collector's editions with the most exquisite bindings.
After just a look around, Nuwa's confidence in successfully filing a complaint dropped a few points.
"Why do you want to visit me when you are not in the cave practicing?"
The plot is very melodramatic and clichéd, but Master Tongtian seemed to enjoy it and did not move his eyes away while speaking.
The Three Saints of Huoyun Cave remained silent and looked at Nuwa together.
Nuwa made up her mind and walked a few steps forward to the front of Master Tongtian, blocking the Xuantian Treasure Mirror. She bowed solemnly and said in a solemn voice: "Brother Tongtian, I have come here to ask you to uphold justice for me and discipline my disciples. Don't be too indulgent and disrespect the saint!"
Tong Tian Sect Master was also stunned, and asked suspiciously: "I don't have many disciples left. Could it be that Wu Dang had a quarrel with you? Didn't you have a good relationship? Even if there was a fight, you wouldn't report it to me, right?"
"I'm talking about Wen Rui, the third generation disciple of the Jin Ling lineage!"
Nuwa said in a hateful voice: "That evil creature has no respect for elders, bullies me by coming to my house, acts evilly, speaks hatefully, and cannot be driven away. He forced me to abandon my palace and flee far away to avoid him. This is really too much!"
"Ah? How is it possible..."
Tongtian Patriarch was stunned again, and said in surprise: "Don't joke, that kid has no fairy appearance, he is just a small god with merits, his Taoism is extremely insignificant, you blow on him and he will fly away a hundred thousand miles, how dare he come to bully you and drive you away?"
Nuwa's pretty face turned red from the ridicule. She pointed at the Jiejiao bookshelf and said, "You are biased. You didn't pass on the true teachings of many laws to your attendant disciples, but instead passed them on to his fourth-generation disciple! I even used three laws of magic power, but he resolved them all. How can this be the practice of a little god of merit?"
Tongtian Patriarch opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, but after struggling for a while, he sighed and said against his will: "The child has been smart since he was young. He couldn't learn Taoism, but he could learn other things easily. The master led him to the door, but the practice is up to the individual. I didn't teach him much. He figured it out on his own..."
"Brother Dao, how can the laws of heaven be understood just by saying so? I know you value your disciple very much, and you have put a lot of effort into him, passing on the secrets that even true disciples don't teach him."
Nuwa said indignantly: "Because you spoiled him so much, he relied on his ability to disrespect the saints and disrupt the principles of heaven and earth. In the final analysis, it is your fault!"
"Ah this... I didn't, I didn't, I don't know..." Tong Tian Jiaozhu was speechless, with a strange expression, he hesitated for several times, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, just put it on me. If my unworthy disciple offended you, I will apologize to you on his behalf and say that I am not worthy of it. Is that ok?"
The three saints Fuxi, Shennong and Xuanyuan saw the reaction of Master Tongtian and all had a plan in mind.
Fuxi quietly pulled Nuwa's sleeve and sent a message with his spiritual consciousness: "Alright, let's stop here. You can see that Brother Tongtian really dotes on the child and treats the child better than his own disciples. Now that he has apologized, you should calm down..."
"No, we can't just let this go!"
Nuwa refused to give in and shouted, "Now he dares to disrespect me, and you are covering up for him. If you continue to indulge him like this, he will become even more evil in the future and cause a disaster sooner or later. He must be severely punished."
"So what are you going to do?"
Patriarch Tongtian frowned and said, "Let me make it clear first. Wen Rui is now the core figure of our Jiejiao's teaching and spreading of the Dharma in the mortal world. His importance to our Jiejiao is equivalent to Tathagata of the Western religion. Just give him a light punishment and a heavy warning. Don't go too far!"
Nuwa's eyes were full of unwillingness. She glared at Tongtian for a long time. Tongtian glared back without any hesitation. Sparks flew between the two people's eyes in the void. After colliding for a long time, Nuwa finally lost her temper.
"My request is not too high. I just want that kid to kneel down and apologize to me sincerely. No matter what happens in the future, he is not allowed to set foot in my Wa Palace again!"
Gritting her teeth, Nuwa said word by word: "I get annoyed when I see that little evil beast. From now on, he should retreat when he sees me. Don't let me see him again!"
Master Tongtian thought for a moment and said, "That's not right. That kid wouldn't come here to disturb the saint for no reason. If you don't call him, why would he offend you? It would be biased to just listen to your one-sided story. I will call him here and ask him face to face before making a final judgment."
Nuwa's face turned stern, her eyes flickered, and she suddenly raised her voice: "No, I don't want to see him! That evil creature is sharp-tongued and will definitely confuse right and wrong. He will rely on your protection to anger me in person. How can I, a saint, confront a junior? It would be disgraceful! No matter what the reason, it is a sin for all living beings to disrespect saints. Why not let him apologize and retreat?"
This may sound unreasonable, but it is actually in line with the laws of nature.
The gap between Wen Rui and Nuwa's identities and status is too great, so there is no basis for fair reasoning between the two sides. Tongtian Jiaozhu insists on being fair, but it is unfair to Nuwa. It is clear that he is protecting his own shortcomings and bullying others.
Today, Tongtian protects his disciples and allows them to be disrespectful to Nuwa. In the future, if the disciples of the Western Religion, the Human Religion, and the Chan Religion are disrespectful to Tongtian, and the other saints join hands to force Tongtian to admit it and not pursue the matter, how can the saint maintain his reputation?
"Okay, I'll do as you say... I'll call him over right now and settle this bad relationship between the two of you in person."
Master Tongtian waved his hand, and the picture in the Xuantian Treasure Mirror switched, showing the topography of the primitive land. It was as if a huge eye in the sky had been opened, scanning the vast plains and mountains of the entire world.
As soon as the mind of Sage Hunyuan was opened, his consciousness almost covered the three realms of heaven, earth and the image projected by the Xuantian Treasure Mirror quickly moved to the sky above the Wahuang Palace, reflecting the entire Wahuang Palace.
Nuwa, who had just seen the outline of the Wa Palace, said confidently: "Look, look, it has been more than ten days, and that little beast is still staying in my Wa Palace. It is obvious that he is waiting for me to return and continue to harass him! Isn't it too much?"
The projection became clearer, and the full picture of the main hall of the Empress Wa Palace, whose renovation was nearing completion, was revealed. It was truly a hall filled with gold and jade, and splendor. The brilliant golden light and rosy glow projected from the Xuantian Treasure Mirror illuminated the entire bedroom, dyeing it with a layer of light gold.
