The visitor is a monk and a monk.
The monk is from the Dazen Monastery, one of the three great Buddhist temples in the Middle Kingdom.
The three great Buddhist temples used to be the Nalanda Temple, the Great Zen Temple and the Tantric Buddhism. Nalanda Temple is the ancestral temple of the Buddhist sect, coming from the PeaC*ck Dynasty, the origin of Buddhism. It was only after the PeaC*ck Dynasty was struck by a natural disaster that only one in ten of its people remained that it migrated from the PeaC*ck Dynasty to the Central Plains.
Although it is the ancestral temple of Buddhism, it was the last to become a monastery in the Central Plains. Most of its disciples were the remnants of the PeaC*ck Dynasty, who did not remember their homeland and were not accepted by the Central Plains. As a result, they have remained in the Western desert and have had little chance of spreading.
The other two schools, Zen and Tantric, have long been Sinicised and were the mainstream of Buddhism in the Central Plains in the early years. These two, however, were hostile to each other and fought to the death.
There is no room for two tigers on one mountain unless there is one male and one female, not to mention the fact that the two different schools of thought have vowed not to co-exist in order to spread their beliefs. That is why there was a dispute between Zen and Tantric Buddhism several hundred years ago.
In the end, Zen won the battle and became the mainstream of Buddhism in the Central Plains, where today all Buddhist temples belong to Zen. The Tantrics, who were the losers, disappeared overseas and were never seen again.
The Tantras of the Great Snowy Mountains at the end of the northern gra*slands, though called “Tantric”, are in fact a blend of the remnants of Tantric Buddhism and local sects such as the Benjaminites. As the religion of the steppe people, it was not recognised by the Chinese, and Zen did not regard them as enemies.
After the Tantric sects had disappeared far abroad, the name of the Three Buddhas took on an additional place. It was later topped by the Dharma Sangha Sect, founded by the first Venerable Sanzang who travelled to the ancestral Buddhist court of the PeaC*ck Dynasty. However, the Dharma Sangha was not as keen to spread its faith as the Tantric Buddhism, and few of its disciples, too, walked in the jungle, so that today the Buddhist sect in the Central Plains is dominated by the Great Zen Monastery, the ancestral temple of Zen Buddhism.
The other Daoist, on the other hand, comes from one of the four great Daoist schools, the Tian Shi Dao of Mount Longhu, also known as Zheng Yi Dao. The Daoist lineage of Mount Longhu has a long lineage, and is said to be one of the Daoist ancestors’ personal lineages, with the Nine Cauldrons Danjing and the Three Days of Righteousness taught within the sect, all of which are among the top lineages in the world.
It is said that it is one of the most powerful sects in the world, surpa*sing both the True Martial Sect and Luo Fu Mountain, which has been in decline in recent years, and is now the top of the Daoist sects in the absence of the Daoist Ancestor’s True Transmission.
A monk and a monk, the rulers of the two schools of Taoism and Buddhism, arrived together to bring the results of the negotiations between the great leaders of the two schools.
“The Elder of Heaven Reckoning is one of the best in the Way of Heavenly Signs over the past hundred years, and only the Elder of Timeless Destiny can be ranked with him, and his legacy is seen as one of the turning points by the Demon Sect, which has been at a disadvantage in the struggle with us in the Righteous Way. It is for this reason that this time, the Devil’s Gate Yin World has personally come out to negotiate with our divisional leaders, so that the younger generation of the Devil’s Gate’s experts, too, can participate.
Therefore, this time, we shall be united in sincerity and unity to thwart the devil’s thieves’ plots.” Zhang Yangde, who came from Mount Longhu, uttered the above remarks.
‘Well, it is well said and reflects a sense of justice as well as a heart that is not afraid of the devil’s way thieves, yet it does not change the fact that it is another one who has come to steal the dominant seat.’
Qing Yu secretly rolled his eyes after hearing what Zhang Yangde had said.
This brother’s heart was the same as Qiao Baixuan’s, both wanted to occupy the dominant core seat and become the leader of everyone. But compared to Qiao Baixuan, this Daoist brother from Mount Longhu’s mind was even more obvious, almost explicitly saying that you all have to listen to me.
And compared to Qiao Baixuan’s technical manoeuvres, this brother has another disadvantage, that is, he is not from the Dragon and Phoenix list.
In fact, no one who is truly knowledgeable would take those on the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings as all the experts of the younger generation. Not to mention those great schools with long-standing legacies, even some old monsters in the jianghu world cannot guarantee that they will not train a young master who has not yet made his debut.
The current emergence of Gong Zi Yu and Zhao Yun is proof of this. The unlucky “eleventh place winner” died at the hands of Li Qiu Ran, who was similar in power to him.
Therefore, people will never feel that those on the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings are absolute masters, nor will they feel that they are inferior to those on the list. Even if they were inferior now, who could say what their future achievements would be if they were in the first two realms of the martial arts. Except, of course, for the top few perverts.
Cough, having said all this, it wasn’t that I was looking down on Zhang Yangde for not being in the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings. Rather, it was that he hadn’t even proven himself yet, and he was rushing to grab a seat, with the feeling of leaning on his division.
“Poor monk Shi Yi, senior brother Shi Jue is in seclusion, so poor monk will come on his behalf.”
Compared to Zhang Yangde, this monk Shi Jue was much smarter, giving a short explanation, not saying that you should listen to me, and naming his own strength.
If he could come on Shi Jue’s behalf, he couldn’t be a weakling in any way.
“Go.”
As soon as Yuan Jian finished speaking he turned to leave, he hadn’t done his customary meditation and toning for the day and hadn’t been able to have a good fight, so he didn’t have the heart to stay here any longer.
“Laofei is not a bull nose, nor is he a bald a*s, and our family is not the so-called righteous path, not listening to you —— ouch, Lian Ning you little hoof why kick me ——”
“Stupid bear, are you going to offend all the monks and daoists?”
Lian Ning tugged Lian Jian’s sturdy arm and walked away quickly.
The Lian family is a family, truly speaking, it is not part of the righteous path, nor is it a demonic path, but rather it is related to the Great Qian court, after all, the Ji family, the royal family of Great Qian, is the largest family in the world today. So there was really no need to come up to someone’s beck and call.
“Oh, I’d better go and discuss this with Daoist Brother Qingxu.” Zhu Kong of Luofu Mountain spoke out his choice.
He still trusted Qing Xu more than this Zhang Yangde. The strongest of the True Martial Sect, Qing Xu, would not be able to enter within the Heaven Reckoning Inheritance Ruins by then, so it was just as well that the two parties could join forces with each other to protect themselves.
At least the True Martial Sect would not screw them over. This Zhang Yangde, on the other hand, didn’t bring anyone with him, didn’t have any men he could call upon, and had such a condescending temper, so when the time came, they would definitely be the ones to use as cannon fodder.
There was also Luo Yan and the others, who had left at the same time as the Lian family and the others.
“This — Daoist Master Zhang, could ——” It was Xiao Chengye of the Imperial Sword Villa who came up.
Along with him came Qiao Baixuan, with an inexplicable look, this disciple of the Timeless Old Man, who also looked to be in alliance with Zhang Yangde.
On the other side, there was also a group of monks who had defected to Shiyi of the Great Zen Temple. They were not from any major sect, but were monks from some small Buddhist temples, all of whom were of the same path, and Monk Shiyi accepted them.
Some of the remaining scattered cultivators also looked for an opportunity to choose their defection. As scattered cultivators, they didn’t even know about the Heaven Reckoning Inheritance beforehand, they just saw that those from the big sects were coming, so they also came over to take advantage of the opportunity to try to find some bargains. Now of course, they have to hug the big leg.
Today, not only was it made clear that there was another party involved in the forces other than the righteous in Cui Ge town, the people within the town were also divided into their respective affiliations.
