Chapter 690: The target is the Western religion, and we are just affected
"What did you say? The coalition forces were defeated, the Western Buddhist monks were annihilated, Wei Tuo, Jin Zha, Mu Zha and several other gods died in the chaos, and the fate of the three Bodhisattvas is unknown?"
Above the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor’s roar of disbelief echoed, and all the immortals were horrified.
Wen Rui nodded calmly and said, "Your Majesty, given your ability, there is no reason why you couldn't hear clearly or remember the battle report I just told you, so I won't repeat it a second time."
"What's going on with them? I don't want to hear your one-sided story. Let them tell me what's going on!"
The Jade Emperor was not hearing impaired nor did he suffer from Alzheimer's disease. He just didn't want to believe Wen Rui's words.
Moreover, this guy is a habitual offender who often talks nonsense, exaggerates, and misleads the public. The same words spoken by others and by him have completely different credibility.
The "they" mentioned by the Jade Emperor refers to Yang Jian, Huang Tianhua, Huang Feihu, Xiaotian Dog and Nezha.
Wen Rui did his best and listened to God's call to awaken the gods. Unexpectedly, the effect was outstanding and he successfully rescued several gods from heaven.
Nezha was rescued relatively easily. At that time, there was only a skeleton with some tissue cells left, and his brain had not yet fully regenerated and developed. His soul had long since left his body and went to the Yama Palace to drink tea with the King of Hell and wait for his body to revive before returning. He was the least affected by the Butterfly Witch's thought infection.
During the great retreat, the Ruyi Immortal Weapon it carried with it wrapped up the remaining tissue, turning it into a small high-speed drone, and flew back with the main force.
At this time, Nezha has grown back into a physical body and is standing next to Wen Rui, but he looks confused and has no idea what happened after he was defeated by the Moth Witch.
Yang Jian, Huang Tianhua and Huang Feihu had sealed hoods on their heads and stood there like puppets who had lost their souls. All their five senses had been tightly sealed, and no information from the outside world could be transmitted in.
Roaring Sky Dog changed back into dog form, staring at Yang Jian worriedly and making a whining sound.
"Well, they are temporarily unable to report to Your Majesty. It will probably take a little time for them to regain their language skills and be able to communicate normally..."
Wen Rui looked embarrassed, as if he wanted to explain but didn't know where to start.
Among these gods, Roaring Sky Dog was the least affected by the thought infection. It was because he woke up in time and broke the dream that he became the key to the rescue of several people.
Dogs' thinking is much simpler than humans', without so many complicated worldly thoughts.
When Taoist Mosquito was creating the Purple Butterfly Witch, his research and development direction was targeted at the three races of humans, gods and Buddhas. Just like some viruses can infect humans but not dogs, Roaring Sky Dog was not greatly affected.
It cannot be said that there is no impact at all. If it transforms into a human, or becomes that dog-eared boy, cognitive distortion will come into play, but if it maintains the dog form, it can remain normal.
During the great retreat, this loyal dog turned into a giant dog that could swallow the gods and generals beside it. Its flesh body blocked the power of its mind-infecting supernatural power, and it used its stomach to carry them back to heaven.
After returning to the Heavenly Palace, Roaring Sky Dog spit out several gods. They went crazy on the spot and made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace. After all, in their distorted cognition, the Heavenly Palace had turned into a demon city, and the gods before them were all demons.
Among the three crazy people, Huang Feihu and Huang Tianhua were not difficult to subdue, only Yang Jian was the most violent.
It was Wen Rui who stepped forward and assembled the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Qingniu and Yuan Hong took action to hold down Yang Jian and put a hood on him to shield his five senses and six consciousnesses.
The hood is also an information compiler in the development stage, which can re-encode external information to a certain extent and pass it on to Yang Jian who is trapped in the cognitively distorted information cocoon.
This barely managed to calm them down.
"It's normal that Your Majesty doesn't believe what I say. After all, words are not enough, and the witnesses can't speak. Then please watch the VCR." Scratching his head, Wen Rui released a high-tech floating projector and played the entire process of the bloody battle filmed by the reconnaissance drone in front of all the immortals.
It would have been fine if you didn't look at it, but when you looked, everyone in the hall gasped.
"hiss!"
"Ouch!"
"When did the Blood Sea Demon Clan become so ferocious? It's already a great achievement for the coalition forces to reach the shore!"
"The Heavenly Army's combat power has increased by more than a hundred times, but they still suffered a crushing defeat. It seems that the Demon Race is doomed to fail. What should we do from now on?"
"The three great masters transformed themselves into lotuses to protect themselves. No one knows what the final outcome will be..."
"What kind of magic did that witch use in the end? How could it be so powerful that even the mantra of Guanyin Bodhisattva was broken?"
……
The immortals were talking among themselves, and everyone looked worried.
As the footage came to an end, the discussions gradually died down, but almost all the gods' eyes were on Wen Rui.
The Jade Emperor closed his eyes and meditated for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, his vision was clear and bright, and the look he gave Wen Rui was no longer full of suspicion.
It is human nature to find it difficult to accept the bad consequences for a while, but as the king of all gods, having experienced countless tribulations, the Jade Emperor has insight even if he has no knowledge. The current situation is extremely urgent. If he is still hesitant, suspicious, and jealous of his subordinates, he cannot be the Jade Emperor.
"Emperor Wen, from the images it seems that although the demon soldiers are fierce, the heavenly army is able to defeat them; although the witch is evil, the generals are also able to fight her."
The Jade Emperor said solemnly, "It was only the magic trick of the purple-robed witch that completely defeated the coalition forces. The Bodhisattvas, generals, and heavenly soldiers immediately lost their fighting spirit and were defeated in an instant. Since you were able to escape unscathed, you must have a way to resist. Tell me the secret of that magic trick."
"Well……"
Wen Rui actually overestimated the Jade Emperor a bit. He was worthy of being the leader of an emperor for tens of thousands of years. His question hit the nail on the head.
After organizing his words, Wen Rui tried his best to explain in a way that even those who had not received systematic education in Jiejiao could understand, "I am also contemplating this, but according to my personal understanding, that magic was developed by Taoist Mosquito, specifically to deal with the spiritual and soul attacking magical powers of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Western Religion."
"Western religions focus on spiritual cultivation and attach great importance to improving cognitive levels, which is the so-called 'enlightenment'. They have a very deep understanding of concepts such as 'true', 'false', 'virtual' and 'real'."
"Master Mosquito suffered a great loss from Western religion five hundred years ago. He must have regarded it as his lifelong enemy and an obstacle that must be overcome. He conducted special research on how to restrain Western religion."
"One of his achievements was to modify the underlying code of the heavenly way of cognition. When the basic concepts of 'true', 'false', 'virtual' and 'real' are blurred and distorted, whether one is enlightened to 'emptiness' or 'color' through meditation and enlightenment, it is all defined by him. Then, whether it is the Buddha or the Bodhisattva, they will be trapped by their own logic and fall into a dead loop."
“No matter how brilliant the Western teachings are or how high the level of cognition is, if we lose the right to define and interpret concepts, we will lose everything.”
"This weapon, developed for Western religions, is equally lethal when used on gods like us whose spiritual cultivation is not as good as that of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. It is like a cannon hitting a mosquito, and it can easily kill us."
