My brother is so cunning.

The army was pressing down outside the monastery, but the whole monastery was calm and did not make any response.

Looking down from the air, there is not even any sign of monk activity in the courtyard of the Zen monastery, making it look like an empty city.

Taibai Jinxing took a step forward, took out the golden scroll, unfolded it and loudly announced:

"The Supreme Jade Emperor of Haotian Golden Palace has issued an edict: Bodhisattva of great joy, you practice Buddhism with your own hands and resolve to save the world and accumulate virtue. However, for five hundred years, your mind and actions have been inconsistent. You have allowed your disciples to do evil and evil, and you have not been freed from greed and ignorance. , Bodhi is covered in dust, roots are corrupted, causing disasters to the three realms, causing harm to Taoism, and harming all living beings. I have specially ordered a special envoy to come to the world, and tell you your sins according to the severity of your fate, and order you to abide by the rules and not be selfish! "

After all, the Great Joy Bodhisattva belongs to the Western religion, and the Jade Emperor's order only reprimanded him, and did not impose any substantial punishment from heaven.

After the edict was read out, there was still no response from Huanxi Temple. The long-eared Dingguang Immortal was like a rabbit that crawled into a hole in the ground and did not dare to show its head. He neither came forward to argue nor accepted the order to apologize.

Taibai Jinxing frowned and said rather angrily: "How dare you not to greet the angel quickly and accept the Holy Edict of the Heavenly Emperor! To disrespect the Jade Emperor's Holy Edict is an eternal sin!"

After saying this, he waved his whisk, and a stream of pure Gang Qi shot towards the Zen courtyard like a white rainbow penetrating the sun. However, it was blocked by the golden shield covering the Zen courtyard and broke into countless fine air currents.

Huanxi Chanyuan is still closed, and the mountain-protecting formation shows no sign of closing.

The Great Joy Bodhisattva wants to carry out the confrontation of non-violence and non-cooperation to the end.

Wen Rui can also understand that this is the best choice and the best response.

Come forward to refute, the evidence is irrefutable, and it is impossible to argue.

After receiving the order to apologize, he was convicted. Heaven could not punish him, but Lingshan would not sit idly by.

Only by remaining silent and avoiding the limelight can we possibly escape this disaster.

Taibai Jinxing's anger was still lingering, and he turned to the several guardian generals behind him and said in a hateful voice: "All generals, listen to the order and use all your strength to break the mountain guarding formation for me. The Jade Emperor's order must be delivered today!"

Several heavenly generals who came with Taibaijinxing took out their divine bows, concentrated their divine power and turned them into arrows. They drew the bows and shot them towards the Zen courtyard over the full moon.

The golden arrow shot out, with a flash of golden light. It hit the shield but couldn't make any progress, and exploded into pieces under the impact.

The divine general took action with a rainbow-like momentum. Although the shield was not broken, the explosion sound spread thousands of miles, shaking the entire Fanjing Mountain boundary.

At the top of Fanjing Mountain, a pot-bellied monk with loose robes looked down, grinned, patted his belly and turned away again.

All the immortals on the Golden Spirit recognized that it was Maitreya Buddha. Seeing that he ignored the commotion made by the attacking army at the foot of the mountain, the immortals secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected of Maitreya Buddha, who has a big belly, he didn't care at all about the farce at the foot of the mountain gate. He just watched the excitement and let it go.

If this great Buddha doesn't care about the affairs of the Great Joyous Bodhisattva, and doesn't care about the Heavenly Court disturbing his purity at the door of his monastery, there will be no other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Western religion to interfere with his own affairs.

It can be seen that the 25-year-old is not welcome wherever he goes.

However, even if the Great Joy Bodhisattva is isolated and helpless, the defensive array created by the Bodhisattva's realm is not so easy to break through.

Several heavenly generals fired fiercely, wasting countless magical powers in vain and causing an uproar, but not even a single tile in the Huanxi Temple was damaged.

Taibai Jinxing's face became more and more ugly, and her expression became more and more gloomy.

Wen Rui thought about it and guessed the reason.

It will greatly damage the prestige of Heaven if the Jade Emperor's edict is passed on to Western religions but the other side refuses to accept it.

"This Great Joy Bodhisattva has no shame at all. He just shuts himself up and acts like a shrinking rabbit."

Wen Rui asked tentatively: "After all, this place is the leader of the Western Sect. This guy is confident and relies on his powerful magic power to lock the gate tightly. If we want to send the Jade Emperor's holy edict in, we will have nothing to do."

"I never expected that Great Joy Bodhisattva would dare to refuse to accept the order."

Taibai Jinxing smiled bitterly and said: "It's nothing more than a rebuke without any actual punishment. After accepting this order, this matter has a result. His attitude is really hateful."

"Haha, the Western Church has made it clear that it has established a separate mountaintop to declare its sovereignty." Wen Rui muttered in a low voice. Although his voice was small, Taibai Jinxing could hear it clearly.

The Heavenly Court is the orthodox court of the Three Realms in name, and has great power to govern all living beings in the Three Realms.

Western religion has actually established a separate branch long ago. The land, mountain gods and city gods of Xiniu Hezhou are all in vain. Just like the land of Lishan, they are just informants with no real power.

However, this current situation cannot be brought to the table and made public. Many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the West are taught to at least make superficial efforts and honor the Jade Emperor in name.

This move by Great Joy Bodhisattva is a public refutation of the Jade Emperor's reputation, further intensifying the conflict between Western religion and heaven.

Even if Heaven is right, this is Xiniuhezhou after all, and it is Lingshan’s sphere of influence. The Bodhisattvas of Western religions are not yet under Heaven’s control.

If Tathagata refuses to come forward to protect him, Heavenly Court will send the Heavenly Army to crusade in order to maintain its majesty, breaking the tacit understanding between Heavenly Court and Lingshan, and sooner or later triggering a backlash from Lingshan.

At that time, the focus of the conflict will not be the sins of the Great Joy Bodhisattva, but that heaven should not interfere with the internal religious affairs of Western religions.

Taibai Jinxing's face became even more ugly, and her expression became tangled and awkward.

Wen Rui lost no time and spoke up: "Brother Chang Geng, Great Joy Bodhisattva has gone so far as to rely on the protection of Western religions and despise heaven. If you just let it go, how will you explain it to the Jade Emperor when you go back!"

The Great Joy Bodhisattva is not a good bird. He wants to cause conflict between Western religion and heaven, so as to fish in troubled waters and escape guilt.

Wen Rui is not a good guy. The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. If the Western Religion is in harmony with the Heavenly Court, he really has no chance to benefit from it and win the opportunity for the rise of Jie Religion.

Taibai Jinxing frowned and said, "It doesn't make sense. It's just a holy edict of reprimand. Why does the Great Joy Bodhisattva risk the world's disapproval and refuse to accept the edict and go through the process?"

Wen Rui smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that Taibai Jinxing encountered a cognitive blind spot and guessed the Bodhisattva's mind with the heart of an immortal official.

Can this edict be accepted casually?

The reason why Bodhisattvas are Bodhisattvas is because they have made bodhisattva hearts. Bodhisattva hearts are a kind of great vows of incense and fire gods. If you practice the oaths and complete the merits, you can get the great way to return.

For example, the bodhisattva heart made by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: He vows not to become a Buddha until hell is empty.

With this great vow, he can occupy a seat in the earth, obtain the power to govern hell, and continuously obtain the merits of salvation.

If you break your faith and abandon your vows, you will suffer a great backlash and all your previous efforts will be wasted.

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Western religions have bodhi minds and great aspirations to achieve the fruition, which consumes very few resources, which is one of their greatest advantages.

Because of this, there are a lot of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in Western religions, which gives people the illusion that great achievements are within reach if you believe in Western religions.

But in fact, achieving the fruition of Buddha and Bodhisattva also requires a price. If you do not cultivate merit, the golden lotus under your seat can pierce the mountain of knives and stab your thighs, the sun behind you can spew out flames and burn your body, and the golden hoop on your head can tighten and crack your skull.

The fruition of merit is not only a symbol of achievement, but also a shackle of heaven and a concrete manifestation of precepts and rules.

Immortals can be sanctimonious, but Buddhas and Bodhisattvas cannot go against their original intentions.

Wen Rui raised his eyebrows and said sinisterly: "Brother Chang Geng, the mountain formation supported by the Bodhisattva cannot be broken by a few guards of the Heavenly Court. Just disobeying the order is a great crime that cannot be forgiven. Please report to the Jade Emperor and ask for permission to send troops to suppress the rebellion and kill the rebellious lunatics."

"This..." Taibai Jinxing hesitated and said: "This matter is very important. If I ask for permission to suppress the rebellion, how will Lingshan react if 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals come to Xiniu Hezhou? If a conflict is caused, the world will be in turmoil and a catastrophe will surely occur."

"Brother, why do you think so much and so far? If you want to think, think about how to do your job well."

Wen Rui lowered his voice: "Think about it, if you go back in disgrace and fall from heaven, The majesty of the court, the responsibility for not delivering the order will only fall on you. "

"The order was not delivered, and it ended up in nothing. It was your incompetence, not the disrespect of the Great Joy Bodhisattva to the Jade Emperor."

"Afterwards, he just needs to find a random excuse, saying that he was in retreat and didn't hear the noise outside, and you are so weak that you can't even break his mountain gate formation, so he can't receive the order even if he wants to."

"When the Western Church boss comes out to mediate, the Great Joy Bodhisattva will stand up and apologize, admit his mistakes, and say that everything is a misunderstanding, and it will be cleared up."

"And you, who have taken such a big blame alone, have left the Jade Emperor and the immortals with the impression that you are not good at doing things, timid, and humiliating the Heavenly Court. Do you still have a future?"

The devil was whispering.

Taibai Jinxing was also moved by Wen Rui's reminder.

The more he thought about Wen Rui's words, the more reasonable they were. Even if the worst result is that the Heavenly Court and the Western Church go to war, what does it have to do with Taibai Jinxing?

He is a civil official and does not need to lead troops to the battlefield.

The blame for the unfavorable war situation would never fall on him.

Just do your job well. If the sky falls, there will be a group of gods and emperors to support it. Why would a mere star god like him worry about it?
