Chapter 53
Mingkong left Qingyunguan under Zhao Qingshan's decisive face. Zhao Qingshan stood there and gritted his teeth in anger, but he had no choice but to do anything... You can't kill Mingkong and let him reincarnate again, right?
Looking at the direction where Mingkong left, Zhao Qingshan snorted heavily. When he raised his hand, a hazy golden light shone from the sky, and took him back to the South Heaven Gate directly.
Zhao Qingshan didn't know that just a few seconds after he attracted the golden light to return to the Heavenly Court, the fat pig that was originally wandering around the bamboo forest suddenly fell down without warning, his limbs twitched and foamed at the mouth. In a short while, his entire head was covered by foam.
Wires of light white light emerged from the pig's body, and not long after, the pig fell asleep...
At the same time, Zhao Qingshan had also returned to the Lingxiao Palace in the Heavenly Court. He slapped the armrest of the dragon chaise with anger and shouted: "Come on, the Holy Mother of Xuan Yaochi, Chang'e Tianfei, Zhang Daoling, Sang Chengdao, Lu Dongbin, Li Xuan, He Xiangu, go to Lingxiao Palace to see me immediately!!"
"Little Immortal obeys the order~!" The heavenly soldiers guarding outside the Lingxiao Palace quickly agreed. Before, when Zhao Qingshan was coming from outside with a pale face, he had already had a premonition that something big had happened. Otherwise, how could His Majesty the Jade Emperor come over so happily and angry? He was scared to death.
The imperial edict was quickly conveyed by the heavenly soldiers. Not long after, the summoned immortals rushed back to the heavenly court and saw Zhao Qingshan with an ugly face in Lingxiao Palace.
Yang Wanyan, who first came from the Yaochi Fairyland, saw Zhao Qingshan's dark face. She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then she asked, "Your Majesty, why did you make Your Majesty so angry?"
"It's not the Western Paradise!" When Zhao Qingshan thought of Mingkong's arrogant attitude, he felt like a big stone was blocked in his heart, wishing he could directly destroy the Western Paradise and completely cut off the situation where Western Buddhas escaped from the control of the Heavenly Court!
However, the Western Paradise and the Heavenly Court are thousands of miles apart, but they are closely related. Once the Western Paradise is destroyed, it will inevitably lead to the entire Heavenly Court being divided. Zhao Qingshan cannot do such a thing.
When Yang Wanyan heard Zhao Qingshan's words, she was obviously stunned for a moment. After a while, she asked: "How come the Western Paradise makes His Majesty angry? Isn't this even a Buddha has not returned to his position?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Western Paradise is still empty at present, how could it make Your Majesty so angry?" Chang'e also walked in and asked strangely: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Qingshan raised his head and looked at the immortals and gods who had arrived in Lingxiao Palace one after another. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Before, when I was in the Qingyun Temple in Longsu Mountain in the lower realm, I saw the reincarnation of the four disciples of the Great Sun Tathagata of the Western Paradise."
"Venice Subhuti? The Venerable Subhuti who is known as the first person to enlighten the world?" Zhang Daoling frowned and stepped forward, saying, "Why should Your Majesty be so angry? So what if you see him? Isn't it enough not to transform him?"
"This Great Sun Tathagata had a backup plan more than 600 years ago. I am afraid that all the reincarnations of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats will regain their original memories when the time is ripe." Zhao Qingshan said with a gloomy face: "After the memory wakes up, they can force me to transform them into the heavenly way by telling me... and even use the current situation of Qingyun Temple to threaten me!!!"
Zhao Qingshan's words are not groundless. The words that monk Mingkong had left before were obviously telling Zhao Qingshan, don't think that you are the Jade Emperor can be hidden from all living beings in the Three Realms and Six Paths. If you don't return to the Buddhist and divine position, this news may be leaked at any time...
Qingyun Temple has been completely tied to the fortune of Taoism. Once there is any change in Qingyun Temple, Taoism that is implicated really doesn’t know which unknown direction it will go.
As Mingkong said, Taoism is the foundation of the heavenly court at present, but it has completely withered. If you don’t find a way to regain the vitality of Taoism, the foundation of the heavenly court in the world will collapse!
There cannot be problems with Qingyun Temple. No problems are allowed... Mingkong uses this matter to threaten Zhao Qingshan. To put it bluntly, it means that his heart is punishable!!
When the immortals and gods in the palace heard Zhao Qingshan's words, they were all shocked... The Great Sun Tathagata actually left such a backup plan, today one is Subhuti, tomorrow one is Manjushri Bodhisattva, and the day after tomorrow one is Guanyin... If this continues, the Heavenly Court may not only take back control of the Western Paradise, but even itself will be under a threat from the West, and it will be difficult to turn over!
The Lingxiao Palace was silent. Only then did everyone understand why Zhao Qingshan looked ashen. The seriousness of this matter was no less than the infiltration of Western barbarians, and even more serious. If a slight inappropriate handling, it would be related to the situation of the Heavenly Court in the future billions of years.
Faced with such a serious situation, no one dared to speak randomly. Until Zhao Qingshan sat on the throne and adjusted his mood, he said: "At present, the Venerable Subhuti has been temporarily pushed away by me, but it only takes five days... What kind of wonderful methods can all the beloved ministers solve it?"
"This..." The immortals in the palace looked at me, and I looked at you. After a while, Fairy He was the first to stand up and saluted: "I call on Your Majesty. I think the only solution at the moment is to control the Western Paradise as soon as possible, so that those Buddhas who return to their positions have nowhere to go!"
"The old minister thinks that this matter is inappropriate." Zhang Daoling also stood up at this time. He frowned and analyzed: "Now the barbarians in the West are becoming increasingly powerful. Buddha and Bodhisattva have always been the first barrier to block the barbarians in the West. If the immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court completely occupy the Western Paradise, it would be equivalent to taking this hard life from the hands of the Western Paradise, which would be more than worth the loss!"
"Will you let these very ambitious Buddhas return to the Western Paradise and continue to repeat the pattern that was more than 600 years ago, not putting His Majesty in his eyes or taking the Heavenly Court seriously?!" Chang'e also said: "There is only one opportunity. If you give up this time, you may never have another chance in the future!"
All the immortals and gods in the Lingxiao Palace expressed their opinions, some supported this one and some supported that one. The majestic Lingxiao Palace became a vegetable market in the world, and noisy sounds spread throughout every corner. Zhao Qingshan frowned and said angrily: "Shut up to me!"
Zhao Qingshan was angry, but no immortal god dared to argue anymore. Everyone looked at Zhao Qingshan with some caution. To be honest, don’t look at them fighting hard, no matter which one of them is unsure.
More and more, I felt that the immortal gods who could be used by my subordinates were too scarce. Zhao Qingshan took a light breath and finally landed his eyes on Yang Wanyan, the Madame of Yaochi, with a gentle smile on his face and asked, "Is there a solution to the Madame of the Madame of the Madame of Yaochi?"
"Report to Your Majesty... Wan Yao has a solution, but whether it is feasible is it feasible, your Majesty will decide it personally." Yang Wan Yao walked out with a thoughtful look: "After hearing everyone's argument, Wan Yao thought that the solution to completely control the Western Paradise by sending troops to the Heavenly Court is no less than demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall. It seems feasible, but in fact there are too many problems."
"And letting the Western Buddhas re-control the Western Pure Land, it is no less than letting the tiger return to the mountain, which will eventually make the Heavenly Court completely lose its control over the Western Pure Land. No matter how you look at it, you cannot completely hand over the Western Pure Land back to the hands of the Western Buddhas."
"There is still a group of barbarians in the West who are eyeing our country. Buddhism is indeed an inseparable part of our heavenly court. Without Buddhist restrictions, the West will inevitably take the opportunity to cause trouble. Moreover, sending a large army to guard the West will lead to loopholes in other places, and the power of Buddhism is still used... Therefore!"
At this point, Yang Wanjing suddenly looked up at Zhao Qingshan and said in a negotiation tone: "Wanjing thinks, why don't Your Majesty send an immortal god who can shoulder heavy responsibilities and lead a team of heavenly soldiers and generals to enter the Western Paradise first, suppress the resistance of Western Buddhas with the imperial edict, and determine the basis of existence in the Western Paradise first."
"In the future, the replacement will be carried out every ten years, which is equivalent to setting up a direct agency of the Heavenly Court in the Western Paradise. Not only are there a small number of people, but it can also interfere in the management of the Western Paradise and even supervise the confrontation between Buddhism and Western barbarians. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?!"
Yang Wanyan's words made Zhao Qingshan's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "The Virgin Mary is indeed a natural talent. This plan is very wonderful, this plan is very wonderful!!!"
"Your Majesty is too proud... This method was actually what Your Majesty thought more than a thousand years ago." Yang Wanxiang smiled and looked at Zhao Qingshan and said, "Wanxiang just recalled a small part of it. His Majesty had formulated a series of very perfect steps that were ambitious to re-incorporate the Western Paradise into the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court... If Wanxiang remembered correctly, the plan should still be preserved in the Miluo Palace."
"I... the plan I thought of more than a thousand years ago?" Zhao Qingshan was stunned and asked, "Since we had this plan at the beginning, why has it been delayed and not implemented yet?"
"Because the first step of the entire plan has failed." Yang Wanyan smiled bitterly and said, "The Western Paradise, led by the Great Sun Tathagata, simply did not agree to the Heavenly Court sending troops in, and even raised a series of overwhelming questions... The root cause is that the will of the Heavenly Court has lost its effectiveness."
"But now, the entire Western Paradise is still in a state of being empty. In this way, this plan that could not be implemented more than a thousand years ago can now be implemented smoothly..."
"Holy Virgin, where is this plan now?"
"Just in His Majesty's Miro Palace... Alas, where are you going, Your Majesty?"
"I'll go to the Miluo Palace to see it!"
