I'm an immortal in heaven

Chapter 730 First Order of the Fa Conference

In the clean and dust-free cloud room, after Fang Jian took a bath and changed his clothes, he changed into a brand new Qingxia jade fighting unicorn robe.

Then he walked to the sandalwood frame beside him, took off the Taiyi golden lightsaber and inserted it into the green bamboo scabbard, and hung the green bamboo scabbard on the white jade hook belt around his left waist.

Then, Fang Jian tied up his loose long hair, tied it with a snow-white jade belt, and hung the remaining jade belt from the back of his head.

Finally, Fang Jian passed a jade hairpin through the bun, fixing the bun and the jade belt.

After doing all this, Fang Jian held the sword in his left hand, folded his sleeves in his right hand, and walked to the door of Yunfang. A breeze blew from the outside and slowly blew the door.

Outside the door, there are more than 20 generals wearing armor and majestic guards.

"Master Shangshu." Seeing Fang Jian walk out of the cloud room, more than 20 generals immediately bowed to Fang Jian in unison.

Fang Jian nodded slightly, and then the monk Yeqing who had been waiting for a long time came out and said to Fang Jian: "Reverend Hongqing, the abbot, the abbots and the hosts of all Buddhist temples and Buddhist temples have all arrived at the 'Lecture Platform' to wait for Master Hongqing."

Fang Jian nodded and said, "Go to the lectern."

On the broad podium, Sang Mojie led 110 and eight abbots and sat cross-legged in more than ten rows. Sang Mojie was at the front, followed by the abbots of various Buddhist temples and Buddhist monasteries.

It is clear that only the abbots and abbots of the monasteries will participate in the Encouragement Dharma Assembly, so apart from the generals who are guarding all around, only Sang Mojie and the abbots of the monasteries in the Shaluo Kingdom are here, and other monks are not allowed to enter.

When Fang Jian came to the lectern, Sang Mojie and 110 eight abbots stood up one after another, folded their hands together and bowed to Fang Jian: "Master Hongqing."

Fang Jian stepped forward and came to the splendid futon specially prepared for him, and then sat cross-legged on the splendid futon with his left hand holding his sword.

"Fellow daoists, you don't need to be too polite." Fang Jian raised his right hand and pressed slightly, and said, "Please sit down."

At this time, Sangmo commanded the monks to sit down again, and set their eyes on Fang Jian.

Although Fang Jian was sitting cross-legged, he held his chest high and his head upright, and he looked tall and straight. His eyes slowly swept across the monks in front of him, and then he said: "Today, the God is holding the 'Praise the Good Fa Conference', the essence of which is a 'good 'Words. Fellow Taoists, what is the teaching of Buddhism?"

When Sang Mojie heard the words, he immediately opened his mouth and said: "Reporting to Master Hongqing, my Buddhist teachings are: the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, the Twelve Causes and Conditions, and the Three Dharma Seals."

Fang Jian asked again: "What is the teaching of Buddhism's entry into the world?"

Sang Mojie replied again: "Punish the evil and promote the good, and save all living beings."

Fang Jian nodded, and then said: "This is the original meaning of the word 'good' in the Dharma Association of God's Encouraging Goodness. Let me ask fellow Taoists. Nowadays, among Buddhist disciples, who can fully uphold the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the Twelve How many monks are there in Karma and Three Dharma Seals?"

All the monks present fell into a sudden silence, and no one dared to say that they could fully hold on.

Then Fang Jian asked again: "How many fellow Taoists can fully uphold the punishment of evil, promotion of good, and salvation of sentient beings?"

Fang Jian's voice fell, and the silence on the lectern disappeared for a moment, and all the abbots spoke one after another: "Everyone can uphold it."

"Okay." Fang Jian nodded, then took out a roll of jade slips from his arms, and then asked by name according to the jade slips, where is the abbot of Hongfa Temple?
I saw a monk with a wide body and a fat body stood up, put his hands together and said to Fang Jian: "The poor monk is here."

Fang Jian asked the abbot of Hongfa Temple: "Is it evil in Buddhism that monsters cannibalize people?"

When the abbot of Hongfa Temple heard the words, he immediately replied: "Monsters eat people, this is a great evil."

Fang Jian nodded, and then asked: "There is a ten-thousand-year-old toad spirit in Youling Gorge, Xuanxian Taoism, the last time it ate people was a year ago, and it has eaten more than 45 people in ten thousand years, and Hongfa Temple is far away. Youling Gorge is only [-] miles away, why don't you destroy it?"

The abbot of Hongfa Temple changed his expression immediately when he heard this, he knew the ten thousand year toad spirit very well, and he was about to turn it into a sect, how could he get rid of it?
But when asked by Fang Jian at this moment, the abbot of Hongfa Temple didn't know how to answer at all.

After a long time, the abbot of Hongfa Temple said to Fang Jian: "Reporting to Daoist Hongqing, the poor monk, the toad spirit, has already noticed him, and through the efforts of the poor monk in recent years, he has been persuaded to change his evil ways and return to righteousness. It works. Just

He is willing to put down the butcher's knife and enter my Buddhist school, so that he will not eat and harm others in the future, that is the greatest kindness. "

Fang Jian said: "This is to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately? He put down the butcher's knife and became a Buddha immediately, so what about the mortals who were eaten by him?"

"You should be reborn by Hongfa Temple." The abbot of Hongfa Temple said respectfully.

Fang Jian said indifferently: "Fellow Taoists, do you think that you can punish the evil and promote the good? If a person kills someone, he just puts down the butcher knife and escapes into Buddhism, and he will do great good. All the crimes will be eliminated, and there is no need to suffer any retribution. .Fellow Daoists think, is this fair to those who were killed? Is this punishing evil and promoting good? Or punishing good and promoting evil?"

The abbot of Hongfa Temple was already sweating coldly on his forehead. He was silent for a long time, and finally replied reluctantly: "Evil people will be rewarded with evil."

"This is self-contradictory." Fang Jian said: "Since he put down the butcher's knife and became a Buddha immediately, how can evil people have their own evil rewards? Are Buddhas all evil people?"

This blow directly dealt a critical blow to the abbot of Hongfa Temple, and he was helplessly nervous, swallowing his saliva constantly, and kept saying 'this, this' in his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

Fang Jian smiled faintly, looked at the abbot of Hongfa Temple and said, "It seems that fellow Taoists still need to study more Buddhist classics. Even a layman like me can't say that. I really can't afford the honor of 'Tongue Brilliant Lotus'."

After finishing speaking, Fang Jian said to the abbot of Hongfa Temple: "Fellow Taoists, please sit down. Today is only a Dharma meeting, and we will not correct responsibilities."

"Yes." The abbot of Hongfa Temple immediately bowed respectfully as if he had received an amnesty, and then sat down cross-legged.

Then Fang Jian looked at the monks and said, "All fellow Taoists heard the conversation I had with the abbot of Hongfa Temple just now? Does any fellow Taoist have a different opinion?"

All the monks present looked at each other, and then they all chose to remain silent. They have different opinions, and they can also be eloquent.

But when their eyes fell on the jade slip in Fang Jian's hand, they were all startled, because things like the ten thousand-year toad spirit in Youling Gorge were not limited to Hongfa Temple.

In the face of iron-like facts, it will be useless to let your tongue shine like a lotus flower.

Seeing the silence of the monks present, Fang Jian specifically asked Sang Mojie, "Do you have anything to say, Fellow Daoist?"

Hearing this, Sang Mojie put his palms together and said, "Bukong Temple is willing to follow all the decrees of the West Tianfu that conform to my Buddhist teachings, so the poor monk has nothing to say."

The more than 100 monks present were shocked when they heard Sang Mojie's words. They even wondered whether Sang Mojie had betrayed Buddhism and took refuge in the heaven.

When Fang Jian heard Sang Mojie's words, he took a deep look at him, and his evaluation of Sang Mojie was even higher in his heart.

Afterwards, Fang Jian said in a loud voice: "Fellow Taoists, I have only two purposes for my God's convening of the Dharma Conference today."

After finishing speaking, Fang Jian stood up from the futon with the Taiyi golden lightsaber in his left hand, "First, Buddhist disciples should truly take on the responsibility of carrying all things, punishing evil and promoting good, and saving all sentient beings. Therefore, in exhorting good deeds After the meeting, Xitianfu will work with Abbot Sang Mojie of Bukong Temple to streamline and reorganize all the Buddhist temples and Buddhist temples in the Saluo Kingdom. There are six counties in the entire Saluo Kingdom, and there are too many 110 eight Buddhist temples and Buddhist temples, which should be reduced to The six Buddhist temples and the Bukong Temple have a total of seven Buddhist temples. Except for the abbot Sang Mojie of the Bukong Temple, the other six Buddhist temples each have an abbot. "

Originally, Fang Jian wanted to just say that Xitianfu would carry out the streamlining and rectification, but Sang Mojie's performance has been very good, and he is also an extraordinary person, so Fang Jian also gave him this face and added him.

As soon as Fang Jian heard that Fang Jian wanted to merge the 110 eight monasteries in the Shaluo Kingdom into six, the entire lectern suddenly became noisy and noisy.

At this time, a tall abbot stood up and asked Fang Jian: "Reverend Hongqing, the poor monk has told you frankly. If there is something offended, I hope Master Hongqing will not blame him."

Fang Jian nodded and said, "Speak out freely at the Encouraging Dharma Assembly."

The abbot immediately said: "Realist Hongqing, it is not impossible to ask us to obey the decree of Xitianfu, as long as it conforms to my Buddhist teachings. But how do I open Buddhist temples and Buddhist temples? Where are they opened? How many are opened? I am afraid this is not the case. Are you doing the affairs of the West Heaven Mansion? Let alone the West Heaven Mansion, even the Heavenly Court can’t control these matters, right?”

Fang Jian smiled faintly, and said: "Heavenly Court is the ruler of the Three Realms. If your Buddhist sect sets up a temple outside the Three Realms, I will not be able to control it. But Xiniu Hezhou is one of the four major continents of the Great World of Jambudha. The world is the center of the Three Realms, and if the Buddhist sect wants to set up a monastery in Hezhou, Xiniu, based on preaching, my Heavenly Court, as the master of the Three Realms, naturally has the right to govern."

Speaking of this, Fang Jian looked at the host and said: "If you don't want to, you can quit Xiniu Hezhou and the Three Realms! What is the full name of West Tianfu? It is 'Xiniu Hezhou Tianjun Mansion', which is established by the Heavenly Court in Xiniu Hezhou. The Tianfu that governs the affairs of Xiniu Hezhou, tell me, does my West Tianfu have the power to govern?"

The abbot was immediately stunned. From the beginning of the world, since Buddhism was founded in Xiniu Hezhou, everyone has tacitly agreed that Xiniu Hezhou is the private land of Buddhism.

But it ignores the fact that the Heavenly Court is the ruler of the Three Realms, as long as everything within the Three Realms is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court.

So the great thing about Daluo Jinxian is that they have jumped out of the three realms and are no longer in the five elements. If it is true, the heavens can't control them, and they don't have to obey the laws of the heavens.

Of course, there are not many big Luos who are willing to go to the environment outside the Three Realms, and their orthodoxy is also within the Three Realms, so as long as you gain a foothold in the Three Realms, you will be indirectly governed by the Heavenly Court.

The abbot sat back down with a slumped face, and then sat on the futon and sighed non-stop.

The rest of the monks also looked down, because they couldn't refute Fang Jian's words. The Heavenly Court is the ruler of the Three Realms.
