Immortal Cultivation: When You Do Things To The Extreme

Chapter 348 Accountability

There is no good banquet, no good meeting, it makes people feel like sitting on pins and needles.

This is how the Bag-bag Arhat and the Tota Arhat feel at this moment.

Even so, the two of them still couldn't get up and walk away.

After all, Buddhist Gate is one of the two great traditions in the Earth Immortal world. It has great power and a good appearance. Such immeasurable things cannot be done. Even if they suffer all kinds of hardships, the two of them can only sit down.

Fortunately, Xu Yang did not mean to embarrass himself. After introducing the efficacy of Cao Huan Dan, he was about to raise a glass to start the banquet: "Meeting of Dan Yuan, fellow Daoist Cao Huan, all fellow Daoists, please come!"

"Fellow Daoist please!"

"Senior please!"

"Great Immortal please!"

Seeing this, everyone raised their glasses in response and wanted to push the atmosphere of the meeting to a climax.

But don't want to...

"Wait!"

The unexpected sound caused the atmosphere in the venue to freeze.

"Um!?"

Everyone was startled and looked around in surprise. The person who made the sound was actually at the table. It was that...

"Brother!"

Fairy Peony stood up suddenly, looked at Xu Yang, and then at the people at the table, and said softly: "Before the banquet begins, Peony feels that there is one more thing that needs to be explained in detail."

"this……"

Everyone was stunned and didn't know why. Only a few people's eyes changed and they turned their attention to the Bag-bag Arhat and the Tota Arhat.

In response to this, the faces of the Bag-bag Arhat and the Tota Arhat also darkened, and they felt something bad in their hearts.

Could this Peony Fairy want to...

"Today's alchemy meeting, my eldest brother invites all the cultivators from Nanzhan to a banquet to study the Tao of alchemy together. Their merits are truly immeasurable!"

Before her thoughts could be settled, she was interrupted. The Peony Fairy turned her gaze and looked directly at the two people at the Buddha Gate: "The two Arhats Venerable came all the way from the west and must not have been invited. I don't know why they came here." thing?"

"..."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, both of them fell silent.

Sure enough, this woman came for them and wanted to roast them both on the fire!

But this is also reasonable. Others don’t know about the golden haired animal. Don’t they, the Mahayana monks in the southern state, still don’t know?

Fairy Peony knew the intention of the two of them, so she took this opportunity to raise the issue in front of the Nanzhan cultivators, forcing the two of them to express their stance on behalf of the Great Merciful Bodhisattva, and even the entire Buddha Gate, to settle the matter. tone, in order to protect Wuzhuangguan and prevent them from provoking and threatening this matter again.

Regarding this, the two of them were angry, but there was nothing they could do.

Fairy Peony's move was a majestic conspiracy, and they had to accept it and respond to it.

How can you accept it, and how should you respond?

Can the two of them bring up the matter of the Golden Hair Fang and ask for the Purple Gold Bell in front of the Nanzhan cultivators who have been greatly favored by Wuzhuang Guandanyuan and have been impressed by the magnanimity of the "Zhenyuan Great Immortal"?

Not to mention the Jinmaohu incident, they are not justified in the first place. Even if they are justified, given the current position and tendency of Nanzhan cultivators, they will still side with Wuzhuangguan.

By then, most of their Buddhist Gate's reputation and connections in Nanzhan Buzhou will be destroyed, not to mention completely ruined, which will make the future "Buddha Dharma spread" even more difficult and even more difficult.

Don’t mention it, never mention it!

But if you don't mention it, how can you step down? Could it be that the two of you are here just to visit the mountains and rivers?

This is not how you hide your ears and steal your bell!

Suddenly, I was in a dilemma again.

When everyone saw this, their expressions changed, and they felt like they were in a whirlpool, with undercurrents surging everywhere.

Earth Immortal is vast and boundless. Nanzhanbuzhou is one of the four states, and it is also very vast.

Many of the Nanzhan monks present here have come from afar, so they don't know about the Golden Hair Fang.

Although I don’t know the inside story, I can see some clues from the reactions of the two people at Buddhist Gate.

Is there a dispute between Wuzhuang Temple and Buddhist Gate?

Are these two arhats Venerable evil guests?

Peony Fairy’s move...

Everyone's thoughts were confused, and the atmosphere was even more confusing.

Fairy Peony ignored it, looked at the two Buddhist Gates, and said directly: "I heard that a hundred years ago, before my eldest brother opened Wuzhuang Temple Taoism, this Wanshou Mountain was not called Wanshou Mountain, but was called Qilin Mountain. There was a mountain on the mountain. The demon, who calls himself Sai Tai Sui, was originally a golden-haired animal. He raped the original owner of Qilin Mountain, and then turned this spiritual mountain into a dangerous place, so that he can practice the evil method and harm the surrounding creatures!"

"..."

"..."

With such words, it was clear that they were facing each other in a tit-for-tat manner. The faces of the Bag-bag Arhat and the Tota Arhat were as dark as water, and they remained silent.

Fairy Peony ignored it and continued: "The golden-haired dog has been a disaster here. It has killed countless living beings in the past five hundred years. The surrounding monks were unable to do anything about it. It was not until my eldest brother came from the clouds that the disaster was eliminated. But Unexpectedly, one wave after another, this golden-haired animal is actually a creature with heels, and is the mount of the Great Merciful Bodhisattva of the West. For some reason, it escaped to the lower world and became a monster and caused trouble!"

"this……"

As soon as these words came out, those Nanzhan monks who didn't know the reason for this suddenly showed a look of astonishment.

Then he shifted his gaze and looked at the Bag-bag Arhat and the Tota Arhat, his eyes were weird and hard to describe.

This look, this look, was like firewood, setting the two of them on the fire.

Even so, Fairy Peony didn't give up. She spoke like a sword and pierced forward: "Now that the two Arhats Venerable are here, could it be that they are following the will of the Great Merciful Bodhisattva to hold my eldest brother accountable for the matter of the golden fur?"

"this……!"

"That's unreasonable!"

"Absolutely ridiculous!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar, and all the shocked and angry eyes were directed towards the two people at Buddhist Gate.

Since ancient times, dragons do not live with snakes, tigers do not live with dogs, and moral gentlemen do not group with despicable people!

Although the atmosphere of the Earth Immortal world is biased toward the weak and the strong, and in a place like Nanzhan Buzhou where there are three religions and nine streams, where fish and dragons are mixed, the strong are respected, but it does not mean that the monks in it are all selfish, ruthless and righteous people.

Nine sons born from a dragon are different, let alone thousands of people with different appearances.

Therefore, among Nanzhan, there are still many righteous monks such as Ziyang Perfected Being and Peony Fairy, who are not only the friends of Wuzhuang Temple, but also the main members of the Danyuan Meeting today.

It can be said that the monks who can now enter Wuzhuang Temple and participate in this alchemy event are all the pillars of the righteous path in Nanzhan Buzhou. No matter how bad they are, they still tend to the righteous path. Those evil people have long since dispersed like birds and beasts.

It is also for this reason that the Bagai Arhat and the Tota Arhat are riding a tiger, because the monks in the Danyuan Meeting now represent the power of Nanzhan's righteous path, and one bad move can ruin the reputation of the Buddhist Gate.

Evil Cultivator, ruining the reputation of Buddhist Gate, can also be said to be a slander, but if it is collectively boycotted by righteous monks...

Although Buddhist Gate is strong, it is not strong enough to take care of Xiniu Hezhou and at the same time force the righteous monks of Nanzhan Buzhou to bow their heads and do the things of confusing right and wrong.

That's why the two of them are in such a dilemma.

But now the Peony Fairy's words have aroused public anger and pointed the finger.

Everyone here is a righteous person, a person who knows right and wrong, and is polite and honest. How can Buddhist Gate do this without causing public outrage?

Fairy Peony's move directly drove the two of them to the lowest point of morality. She wanted to use the power of Nanzhan's righteous way to force them to bow their heads and determine the matter. They could not use this as an excuse to embarrass Wuzhuang Guan in the future.

This woman... is so scheming!

"Amitabha!"

The cloth-bag Arhat sighed: "The two poor monks really came here for this reason!"

"oh?"

Seeing the two people responding, Fairy Peony turned her beautiful eyes and said, "Are those two Venerables going to hold my eldest brother accountable?"

"No, no!"

The cloth-bag Arhat shook his head: "Although the golden-haired tiger is the mount of the Great Merciful Bodhisattva, it does not listen to the teachings. The bad nature of demons is hard to change. While the Bodhisattva is in seclusion and practicing hard, waiting for the opportunity of the Eighth Layer calamity, he quietly descends to the world and commits evil. We are the same. I just found out today that Zhenyuan Fellow Daoist removed it to eliminate harm to the common people, and it was an act of immeasurable merit. We can’t praise him enough, so how can we be held accountable?”

Between the words, he expressed his attitude and showed weakness, but at the same time he shied away the responsibility and characterized the matter.

Sure enough, Arhat Venerable is Arhat Venerable, with extraordinary wisdom and extraordinary cleverness.

The two of them knew very well that they could not admit this matter, no matter what, otherwise the reputation of Buddhist Gate in Nanzhan Zhengdao would be completely ruined.

Fortunately, although the Peony Fairy was aggressive, she did not reveal the inside story that the Golden-haired Jiao was a demon in the lower world, leaving face and room for the two of them and the Buddhist Gate. Obviously, she did not want to see Wuzhuang Temple and the Buddhist Gate. Real grudges develop and conflicts break out.

Therefore, they just went downhill, characterized the matter, showed weakness to Wuzhuang, and at the same time passed the responsibility. In this way, they reduced this big matter to a trivial matter.

With the momentum of the Buddhist Gate, it actually bows its head and gives in to the people of the earth. From then on, the name of Wuzhuang Temple in Nanzhanbuzhou will definitely be like the sun in the sky.

It feels really unpleasant to be stepped on by others and take fame and profit.

But whatever their dissatisfaction, for the sake of the overall situation, the two of them could only tolerate it.

Seeing the Buddhist Gate two retreating, the Peony Fairy smiled, no longer aggressive, and raised her glass: "As expected of the Buddhist Gate Venerable, the virtuous monk is indeed reasonable and can distinguish right from wrong. I would like to offer you a glass of wine to you two Venerables!"

After that, he drank the wine in one gulp, completely setting the tone of the matter.

Things are already heated enough to this point.

Buddhist Gate, after all, is Buddhist Gate. Although the two of them showed weakness and made concessions, they also brought out the Great Compassionate Bodhisattva and emphasized the "Eighth Layer Heavenly Tribulation", which was obviously a warning.

Not too much!

Big things are reduced to small things, and trivial things are reduced to an end.

But at this point, they can no longer stay in this Danyuan meeting.

"Amitabha!"

The cloth-bag Arhat sighed and turned to look at Xu Yang: "It is not a pity to die for that sinner. It is just the purple gold bell that he stole. It is a Buddhist treasure for Bodhisattva practice. I don't know whether Zhenyuan Fellow Daoist can return this thing. The two poor monks It would be nice to have an explanation when I go back."

"Um!"

Fairy Peony turned her beautiful eyes, looked at Xu Yang and asked, "Brother, what do you think?"

Although they still have to ask for the Zijin Bell at this time, which feels like they are pushing the envelope, the two of them have already determined the matter and passed on the responsibility, so it is not too much, at least it is not beyond the acceptance range of Nanzhan cultivators.

The Peony Fairy is also a general opinion. It is just a Middle Grade Immortal Weapon. It is nothing to Wuzhuang Temple. As long as Buddhist Gate gives it enough face, it will be returned.

"Since it belongs to the Bodhisattva, it should be returned."

Xu Yang, who had been silently allowing the situation to develop, finally broke the silence, looked at the two of them, and said calmly: "But the golden-haired dragon is a demon in the lower world. It has been poisoning for more than five hundred years and harmed countless living beings. Shouldn't the Bodhisattva do the same?" Give me an explanation?"

"Um!?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes froze, and the Bag-bag Arhat and the Tota Arhat also frowned.

What's the meaning?

Argument, what argument?

Is it possible that the Bodhisattva should still be held accountable?

I, the Buddhist Gate, have already given in to this point, and you are still so aggressive?

The two of them were frightened and angry, but they didn't want to get angry, so they could only bite the bullet and said: "The Bodhisattva retreated and meditated, practiced Buddhism diligently, and waited for the catastrophe. Only by not checking for a moment did this evil obstacle escape to the lower world..."

"Then it is also the responsibility of the subordinates to be lax and neglectful!"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, and Xu Yang was seen sitting at the top with an indifferent expression: "That golden-haired animal is the Bodhisattva's mount after all. It came here as a monster to show off its evil deeds and caused disaster for more than five hundred years. How many innocent people died miserably, how many When living beings are suffering, Bodhisattva is the master. If you don’t give an explanation, how can you make people feel at ease?”

"..."

"..."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent. Even the Peony Fairy and others were a little stunned. They didn't expect Xu Yang to take things to this point.

Question the Bodhisattva?

this……!

Regarding this, both the Bagai Arhat and the Tota Arhat were silent for a while, and then they said after a long time: "What does Zhenyuan Fellow Daoist mean...?"

"The purple gold bell is stored in Wuzhuang Temple."

Xu Yang shook his head and said calmly: "As long as the Bodhisattva comes, or the disciples apologize and comfort the innocent people who died in vain, Zhen Yuanzi will offer this thing with both hands without any hesitation."

"..."

"..."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, the place fell into dead silence again, and everyone was silent.

Such conditions are neither light nor heavy, nor heavy.

As long as the Great Compassionate Bodhisattva bows his head and sends a disciple to come and admit his fault of "lax discipline and lack of awareness", then this matter will be revealed.

It's simple, without much pursuit.

but……

How can a Bodhisattva admit his mistake?

This matter, at most, can only be the fault of Jin Maohuan, not the fault of the Bodhisattva.

Not to mention the relative coming, even if he sends a disciple, he cannot accept it.

Because a Bodhisattva cannot make mistakes, and even if he does, he cannot admit them, otherwise the authority and majesty of the Buddhist Gate will be severely attacked.

so……

The two people at the Buddhist Gate were silent for a while, and finally the Arhat spoke up: "The Bodhisattva is practicing hard in seclusion to prepare for the catastrophe. It is true that he does not investigate, but he is not indulgent..."

"So I only ask about the responsibility for the oversight."

Xu Yang cut off the words and said quietly: "Isn't it possible that even a Bodhisattva is unwilling to acknowledge the responsibility for any oversight?"

"..."

The cloth bag Arhat was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

"good!"

At this moment, a sharp shout came from below.

Everyone looked back and followed the sound, only to see a man accompanying the woodcutter stand up and angrily ask the two Buddhist Gate people: "As Taoist Brother Zhenyuan said, the golden-haired tiger has been causing trouble here for more than five hundred years. How many innocent people have died tragically, how many living beings have suffered, and the Bodhisattva is his master, how can he not be willing to bear the responsibility for even one oversight?"

It’s Lord Chushan!

Faced with Chu Shanjun's question, Bagai Arhat frowned and did not respond.

Just a Body Integration Cultivator, not worth his attention.

But what Zhen Yuanzi did...

What is the purpose of acting like this?

Is he deliberately trying to embarrass his Buddhist Gate, or is he using this to win over his mind of cultivating the world and gain the momentum of righteousness and righteousness?

What is this person’s agenda?

Full of surprise and doubt, he could not make up his mind for a moment, and finally he could only forcefully say: "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan said that the two poor monks will definitely report back to the Bodhisattva, but this matter is entangled and it is really difficult to explain..."

"It's okay not to say anything."

Xu Yang smiled and looked at the two of them: "Today I am promoted to Mahayana, and I can be considered as equal to the two of you. In this way, we have fought and fought. If you two win, then I will return the Purple Gold Bell with both hands!"

"this……"

Hearing this, the two Buddhist Gate frowned even more.

Spin around, or do you want to fight?

But if they could fight, how could they be in such trouble?

Is this man determined to step on his Buddhist Gate and become famous all over the world?

"Amitabha!"

The Budai Arhat sighed: "Zhenyuan Fellow Daoist is knowledgeable about the past and the present, and is knowledgeable about heaven and man. The two poor monks cannot match him."

There is something in the words.

Xu Yang's expression remained unchanged and he said quietly: "How about we only fight for the Law Treasure Divine Ability, regardless of other means?"

"this……"

When the two of them heard this, they were both startled.

Only then did he come back to his senses. The Budai Arhat clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name again: "Amitabha, since Zhenyuan Fellow Daoist insists on doing this, then the two poor monks can only sacrifice their lives to accompany each other!"

"How can we fight to the death in today's meeting of Dan Yuan?"

Xu Yang shook his head, chuckled and said: "One person has three moves, no matter what the means, as long as two Venerables are better than Pindao's one move, Zijin Ling will give it to you with both hands!"
