Chapter 597 Really Driven the Bodhisattva Away
Chapter 597: He really forced the Bodhisattva away
Even though Wei Hu is a protector of the three religions, and even prefers the Western religion, there is a high probability that he will side with Shi Zhongkui, a fellow disciple of the third generation of the Chan religion.
Otherwise, just because his master, Daoxing Tianzun, had punished him, Wei Hu would be in bad luck, let alone if Yuanshi Tianzun had any objections to him, the consequences would be even more serious.
What if Shi Zhongkui takes Yang Jian, Lei Zhenzi, Baihe Tongzi, Jinxia Tongzi, Huang Tianhua and other three generation brothers again?
Even Yin Jiao, Yin Hong, Han Dulong, Xue Ehu, and Yang Ren, who have already been on the list of gods, are forced to side with him, so their side will definitely lose and lose face.
Mu Zha suppressed the anger and uneasiness in his heart, smiled and stepped forward and bowed.
If you can't win, you will naturally have to give in. Muzha smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Junior brother, you and I are from the same sect. Junior brother and my third brother Nezha are direct brothers from the same sect. As my brother, I am in Chang'an this time and cannot come to visit you.
But it shouldn't be.
Why don't you go to the largest restaurant in Chang'an City today and treat your junior brother and the lieutenants to a good meal as an apology?"
How could Shi Zhongkui fail to see that Muzha wanted to drag him away to prevent the Bodhisattva hiding in the Earth Temple from being made public and losing his face?
A few days ago, Shi Zhongkui would definitely not have forced the Bodhisattva to death, but that day when he felt that the Bodhisattva was really malicious towards him, and even had murderous intentions, Shi Zhongkui had no intention of saying, "You are good to me, and we are all in harmony."
"There's no need to drink. I want to take advantage of the Bodhisattva's visit to Chang'an City to ask her for advice. Besides, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered me to be in charge of the waterway conference. There are some things that I, a Taoist disciple, don't understand, so I have to ask the Bodhisattva for advice."
Muzha was very anxious. Naturally, the city god did not dare to have any objections to the Bodhisattva occupying the land temple because of the land in the city.
But doing so is indeed suspected of being 'too overbearing'. If Shi Zhongkui and his teachings were behind him, he would take the land to heaven and file a complaint with the Jade Emperor.
Even if the Bodhisattva is okay in the end, there are still immortals and gods who will gossip, and he will definitely be embarrassed at that time.
More importantly, from now on, the favorability of the land, mountain gods, and city gods in the Three Realms towards Western religion will inevitably drop a lot.
Regardless of the land, mountain gods are the lowest level of gods, and many are not even gods. However, these people are in charge of all the mountains and rivers in the world, and their influence spreads across the three realms.
Even if you don't dare to violate Western teachings, it will be a big trouble if you violate it openly and secretly.
"Great Governor, the Bodhisattva has a busy day today and is doing evening classes. If you really have something to do, you might as well go to the Bodhisattva's monastery to meet you tomorrow."
Although this statement does not explicitly say that the Bodhisattva is in the Earth Temple, it still cannot find a loophole. If he breaks in by force again, it will really break his face.
Of course, if Shi Zhongkui really forced his way in, the Bodhisattva would most likely change his mind and leave silently.
After all, traveling west to obtain Buddhist scriptures is what Bodhisattva values most.
At this time, Zhen Zhen was fighting with Shi Zhongkui, and I believed that the Bodhisattva was not that stupid.
Not to mention that this place is still the capital of the Tang Dynasty. If there is a big commotion, given Shi Zhongkui's early layout, the impression and favorability in the hearts of the emperor, empress, princes and ministers, the ones who will suffer are definitely the Bodhisattvas and Buddhists.
Shi Zhongkui, who wanted to understand this, was not willing to let go of such an opportunity.
Of course, he was not that stupid to fight with the Bodhisattva.
Even if there is a fight, it will definitely end in nothing. Since the Bodhisattva cannot be killed, he will also lose the opportunity and will be thought to be brainless by Laojun, Taiyi Zhenren and others.
"Where's the land?" Shi Zhongkui said with a smile, "I have settled in Chang'an City for many years. I feel that the weather has been good these years and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It has not caused me any trouble, so I naturally want to reward you with some land in the city."
As soon as Muzha heard this, he started to sweat on his forehead. Shi Zhongkui's purpose was actually to get in, but he didn't mention Bodhisattva, only the land, and the land could only come to meet him.
After meeting him, as a fourth-grade heavenly official, he also stated that he wanted to reward the land.
If the emperor dares to thank him outside the temple, he must be invited in. After kneeling down to express his gratitude and accepting the gift, he must also be given a cup of fragrant tea. It is not considered rude.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, the Bodhisattvas in the temple could only use their magical powers and quietly left the Tutu Temple.
Now he was really forced to leave by Shi Zhongkui.
Fortunately, we didn't meet each other, and Shi Zhongkui didn't stop him from leaving, or even stopped him directly, so he didn't lose face at all.
Shi Zhongkui wanted to stop him, but unfortunately the Bodhisattva was still a Daluo Jinxian, and one of the four great Bodhisattvas in Western religions. His cultivation and magical powers were naturally extraordinary.
After being prepared, it would be really unreasonable if he was stopped by Shi Zhongkui.
However, after so many years of practice, Shi Zhongkui has truly developed a magical power.
When the Bodhisattva left, although he didn't have time to stop him, he still noticed traces of the Bodhisattva's departure.
When the Fourth Lieutenant saw Shi Zhongkui staring into the distance, he immediately looked over as well.
Zhang Taiwei and others looked at each other, wondering why the Bodhisattva was really in the Earth Temple before.
My master was able to force the Bodhisattva, who even the master dared to confront, to leave quietly, feeling shocked and proud in my heart.
Secretly, following the Governor back then was indeed the most correct choice.
However, the Fourth Lieutenant was not entirely happy because the Western religion was aggressive and its methods were underhanded.
Now my master and Bodhisattva are almost at odds with each other. It is impossible to say that we are not worried.
"Master, I heard that my mistress's birthday is coming soon. No matter what, she wants to invite my ancestors to come over and get together this year."
Shi Zhongkui had never been positive about inviting the four heavenly masters to have a drink on the birthday of the Third Holy Mother.
It’s not that we look down upon the Four Heavenly Masters, nor that our relationship with them has deteriorated, but that the Four Heavenly Masters are, after all, close ministers of the Jade Emperor. Sometimes it is necessary to avoid suspicion and do some face-saving work.
But Lieutenant Zhang said so, and the other three lieutenants Ge, Xu, and Qiu also nodded. It would be really disrespectful to refuse any more.
Seeing Shi Zhongkui's agreement, Lieutenant Zhang hurriedly continued, "In previous years, the lion, camel king, black bear, and six brothers, Suan Ni and Tuan Xiang Shi, were responsible for the birthday of the mistress.
If there are more guests this year, would you like Mr. Jiuling Yuansheng to be the general manager to avoid things going wrong between the Lion and the Camel King and the Black Bear?"
When Shi Zhongkui heard this, he knew that Zhang Taiwei was suggesting that Jiuling Yuan Sheng be brought in to live at home as a bodyguard.
Although there are differences between Daluo Jinxian, the strength of the magic weapon can determine the outcome.
But no matter how you say it, Jiuling Yuan Sheng is still an old demon who has been enlightened for countless years. He has extraordinary methods and is much more effective than the Eight Taiwei in fending off opponents of the same level.
Moreover, the old lion kept calling Shi Zhongkui "little master", which was equivalent to putting himself in the position of a slave. This status was much more suitable for him to be a guard of the Shi family than his four brothers and the two evil insects, the Bull Demon King and the Nine-Headed Insect.
Shi Zhongkui just thought about it for a moment and decided that it would be better to play it safe.
But within a few seconds he realized that he couldn't do this.
