My brother is so cunning.

Chapter 228: Karma and retribution

Taibai Jinxing pondered for a long time and finally made a decision.

He took out a jade slip, focused his thoughts on it, and soon wrote a memorial and handed the jade slip to a heavenly general.

"Send this secret memorial to the Lingxiao Palace and report it to the Jade Emperor!"

The general took the jade slip, stepped on the auspicious clouds and slowly rose into the sky, flying towards the south sky.

Wen Rui couldn't help but feel secretly happy, but he managed his expression very well and didn't show it. He just nodded slowly and said: "That's right, we just need to do what we should do. We can't do it just because the other party is a Western Bodhisattva. It’s all in vain.”

"What my dear brother said is absolutely true. Fortunately, I am reminded that I should act according to the rules. Regardless of whether he is a mortal or a Bodhisattva, his life and death are all determined by the Emperor!"

Taibai Jinxing had a straight face and a businesslike look, and said without saltiness, "We should not bear all the consequences."

At this moment, a Zen sound suddenly came from the sky, and a sweet and gentle female voice sounded.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Taibai Immortal Official, please listen to what this poor monk has to say. It won't be too late to report back to the Jade Emperor."

Hearing this call, Wen Rui was shocked and quickly took a step back quietly to the other sect leaders.

The immortals aboard the Golden Spirit went out in search of fame, but they saw auspicious clouds gathering in the southern sky. In the clouds, a white-robed bhikshuni was solemn and graceful. She wore a crown on her head, celestial robes, and a body-hugging skirt. She stood on a lotus platform with her hands in her hands. Holding a glass jade pure bottle.

The heavenly general who had been ordered to report the news was standing in the clouds side by side with the monk in white. He was being blocked by her and had not yet ascended to heaven.

Taibai Jinxing quickly greeted him and said, "I have met Master Guanyin."

The heads of the four major sects also saluted respectfully. Wen Rui was among them and sang a big promise.

Of course Wen Rui recognized Guanyin, and he felt bad when he saw her appear. He also didn't expect that this great god would intervene, so his treacherous plan would have no chance of succeeding.

But if you think about it carefully, the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva is definitely not accidental.

This Great Bodhisattva's status in the Western Sect is similar to that of Taibai Jinxing in the heaven. He is a special envoy of the Tathagata, responsible for making public appearances and acting on behalf of the Western Sect.

If she arrives a step too late, and Heaven really sends its heavenly army to attack the branch sects of the Western religion, the difficulty of diplomatic mediation between the two sides will suddenly increase.

Neither the Heavenly Court nor the Western religion will admit their mistakes. It involves the determination of good and evil, which determines the incense of all living beings in future generations. Neither side will give in.

Before things got too tit-for-tat and irreversible, Guanyin Bodhisattva came out at the right time.

Guanyin stepped on the lotus platform and descended from the clouds, landing on the deck of the Golden Spirit. She raised her hand with one hand and performed a Buddhist salute to Taibai Jinxing.

"Master Guanyin, why did you stop me from going to the Jade Emperor?"

Guanyin smiled slightly and said: "The poor monk has long heard about the dispute between the Chan and Jie sects and my sect, and he has calculated the cause and effect, so he came here at this time to mediate the misunderstanding and resolve the grievances."

"dispute?"

Taibai Jinxing shook his head and said: "Forgive me for speaking frankly, the crimes committed by the disciples of Great Joy Bodhisattva have been found to be overwhelming. The testimonies of the victims are unbearable to read. Seeing the tragic situation, the heavens are angry and people are resentful, and all sentient beings are suffering unspeakably."

His attitude became tougher, he pointed to the Huanxi Zen Temple below, and said sternly: "On behalf of the Heavenly Court, I read His Majesty the Jade Emperor's rebuke edict, but the crazy monk turned him away and ignored it. Was there any misunderstanding?" Now that the soldier is here, please help me break the magic circle guarding the mountain gate so that I can deliver the Jade Emperor's order to him."

"It's not that the Great Joy Bodhisattva disrespects the Jade Emperor. It's just a matter of one drink and one peck. Taibai Immortal Official is not the one who deserves the calamity."

In the face of the accusation, Guanyin Bodhisattva was not upset and said with a smile: "My teachings are born and destroyed, all due to dependent origination and dependent destruction." Great Joy Bodhisattva is waiting for another destined person to come and pass the order. When he doesn't see that person, he will not give up his obsession and protects the mountain formation. Even a poor monk can't break it."

Taibai Jinxing was stunned and said in astonishment: "I am the special envoy of Heaven. Great Joy Bodhisattva refuses to accept the holy edict from me. Who is he waiting for?"

"Far away in the horizon, close in front of you." Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and shifted his gaze to Wen Rui.

De Bodhisattva reminded that Taibai Jinxing also looked at Wen Rui.

The four sect masters who didn't know why also watched.

Wen Rui was stared at by a group of gods until his scalp numbed, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, he underestimated the gods and Buddhas in the world. He should have thought that he had made such a big noise in the mortal world, and carried out propaganda and mobilization to expose black materials about Western religions. How could Guanyin Bodhisattva, who has the title of "Avalokitesvara", turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear.

It's just that the timing of intervention was wrong before, and it would be contaminated with unnecessary great karma, so Guanyin Bodhisattva did not appear.

Now that the matter has developed to the most critical point, she was "late in coming".

Wen Rui reluctantly spread his hands and said: "Bodhisattva, enlightened people don't speak secret words. Long-eared Dingguang Immortal hates me to the core. Naturally, he wants to lure me into his lair so that he can die with me. But why should I follow his plan?" willing?"

"Not even you, the great Bodhisattva, can break his mountain-protecting formation. There are people in Heaven who have profound Taoism and Dharma who can break it."

"I just need to wait and see what happens. I can be invincible. Why should I die?"

With that said, Wenrui crossed his arms and turned his head away, not giving any face to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Wen Rui, as you said, wise people don't speak secretly."

Guanyin Bodhisattva narrowed his eyes, and although he smiled, his tone was a bit serious: "The poor monk deduced the past and the causes and causes. It was you who disturbed the cause and effect and cut off the great opportunity of the Great Joy Bodhisattva to become a Buddha, causing chaos and disaster. Fu. You still have to tie the bell to untie it, which will cause turmoil in the three realms. You, the bell tier, don’t refuse.”

After hearing what Guanyin said, Wen Rui deduced that she knew about his secret dealings. He narrowed his eyes and sneered, "You can ask me to go see the Long-eared Dingguang Immortal, but I need the Bodhisattva to answer a question for me first."

"Go ahead."

"Does the Tathagata know what the disciples of the Happy Zen Sect have done for the past five hundred years?"

The Bodhisattva lowered his head and answered helplessly, "The Great Happy Bodhisattva stole the Six Soul Banner. The names of the two saints of our Western Sect, Huai Ti and Jie Yin, are written at the end of the banner. If the Six Soul Banner shakes, the lives of the two saints will be destroyed, and the lineage of our sect will be cut off."

"Permitting him to become a Buddha is not a reward for stealing the banner. "It is not the merit of the good karma, but the grace of extending the existence of our Taoist lineage."

"If the good karma is not repaid, the cause and effect will not be complete, and the foundation of our religion will not exist."

"There are also people who cannot be saved by the Buddha, not that he is unwilling to save them."

At this point, Guanyin Bodhisattva raised his head, looked at Wen Rui, and said slowly: "The good karma between him and our religion is the bad result of your religion. Causes and conditions come and go, cause and effect cycle, and retribution is inevitable. After counting the three realms, the only one who has the fate to cut off his Buddha fruit is Master Wen."

The conversation between Wen Rui and Guanyin Bodhisattva made Taibai Jinxing and the four masters confused, not knowing what riddles they were talking about.

But they also faintly heard that it seemed to be related to a past between the Western Religion and the Jie Religion in the Conferred God Tribulation 500 years ago.

Wen Rui pouted and stretched out his hand to Taibai Jinxing, which made the other party stunned.

"Don't you understand? Brother Chang Geng, the Bodhisattva of Great Joy has locked himself up and is only willing to see me. I will deliver the Jade Emperor's decree to him so that he can confess his crime in person."
