Capítulo 1175: Chapter 1172: Debating Buddhism with the Buddha
“It was this monk’s rudeness.”
Monk Le Chen took a deep breath, then performed the highest Buddhist rite — prostrating himself wholly before Ye Xuan.
That scene left everyone dumbfounded.
From start to finish, they hadn’t even understood how this battle had ended.
Wasn’t it supposed to be three punches? How come Ye Xuan just walked over and Monk Le Chen retreated?
Those present were either powerful in the late stage of the Saint Realm or Immortals, even peerless masters of the Supreme Realm.
Though they didn’t know what happened, they could vaguely guess.
When Ye Xuan walked towards Monk Le Chen, Monk Le Chen must have seen something that shocked him, or it wouldn’t be like this!
After performing the grand rite, Monk Le Chen got up and fixed his gaze on Ye Xuan.
This time, Monk Le Chen was full of reverence.
There was no longer any trace of his previous aggression.
Within the Buddhist sect, there is a saying.
The more profound one’s Buddhist Law, the deeper their sins.
Behind Buddha, there are billions of evil ghosts accompanying.
This is one interpretation of Buddha.
Just now, Monk Le Chen saw this scene on Ye Xuan.
Is it to be wondered that Monk Le Chen, raised and nurtured by Buddhist teachings from childhood at the Great Western Heaven Temple, was shocked?
In Monk Le Chen’s eyes, Ye Xuan was no mere mortal; he was the reincarnation of the Buddha.
That is why Monk Le Chen performed the highest Buddhist rite for him.
Ye Xuan was unwilling to spare Master Fang Tian’s life, so Monk Le Chen had no objections.
Since the Buddha said so, there must be a reason.
Monk Le Chen stood silently by, observing with a calm mind, saying nothing more.
Seems like this guy thinks I’m the Buddha…
Ye Xuan saw Monk Le Chen’s reaction and couldn’t help but smile slightly.
This kind of situation was not the first time.
Because in the past, he had discussed Buddhist Law with the Buddha.
Ye Xuan and the Buddha had differences in their Buddhist Law.
The Buddha emphasized the great righteousness of all living beings, saving every soul regardless of good or evil.
The good should be saved.
And the evil should also be saved.
After saving them, use Buddhist Law to enlighten them, guiding them to perform good deeds and atone for their sins in the world.
But Ye Xuan was different.
Ye Xuan advocated fighting evil with evil.
The good should be saved, there’s no debate about that.
But the evil, in Ye Xuan’s view, must only have a path to death.
Because of this.
During that debate on Buddhist Law, Ye Xuan produced two completely different anomalies.
His own Buddha Nature was boundless, but behind him were billions of evil ghosts roaring.
That scene even shocked the Buddha of that time.
In the end, he could only chant ‘Amitabha’ and stop debating with Ye Xuan.
There were no winners in that Buddhist Law debate.
Ye Xuan just wanted to understand Buddhism through it, while the Buddha wanted Ye Xuan to let go of his heavy killing intent, as Ye Xuan had a strong Buddha Nature, which even the Buddha had never seen before.
Unfortunately, he could not convince Ye Xuan.
Since then, the Buddha wrote Ye Xuan’s insights into the heritage.
And this led to why Monk Le Chen later thought Ye Xuan was the reincarnation of the Buddha.
In fact, this idea did not exist in the early days of the Buddhist sect.
It was added by the Buddha himself after that debate on Buddhism.
In later years, Ye Xuan encountered high monks from the Buddhist sect more than once.
There were bound to be debates.
Ye Xuan didn’t like debates much, so he directly demonstrated his Buddhist Law.
Afterward, basically, everyone would perform the prostration rite like Monk Le Chen.
Some even chose to join Ye Xuan under his banner.
“First, send people to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties.”
Seeing the battle between the two ended inconclusively, Ji Ziqing quickly returned to the topic and gave orders.
Now, Ji Ziqing was the Saint Master of the Ji Family, and it was her authority to give orders.
“I shall obey the Saint Master’s command.”
With one word, the high-ranking members of the Floating Mountain all took the order.
Regarding Ji Wenyan’s previous matters, Ji Ziqing did not bring them up.
Although she didn’t like this uncle very much, it’s only fair to say that Ji Wenyan did everything perfectly in both big and small matters of the Floating Mountain.
But the matter of Ji Zifan was not to be easily forgiven!
“Zheng Shuang, bring Ji Zifan here.” Ji Ziqing looked at Zheng Shuang on the perimeter and said calmly.
Ji Wenyan, who was just about to retreat after receiving the order, heard this, lifted his head to look at Ji Ziqing, bit his lip, and bowed, “Saint Master, please punish lightly.”
Ji Ziqing’s expression remained calm, saying indifferently, “I have my judgment.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Wenyan left reluctantly.
“Saint Master.”
Zheng Shuang, dressed in a purple robe, brought Ji Zifan before Ji Ziqing, knelt on one knee, and bowed his head.
Ji Ziqing nodded slightly, indicating for Zheng Shuang to rise, then turned her gaze to Ji Zifan.
At this moment, Ji Zifan was already unconscious.
Previously being struck away by Ji Zhong, he was injured and looked quite battered.
Seeing this, Zheng Shuang took the initiative to wake Ji Zifan up.
Ji Zifan gradually woke, and the first thing he saw was Ji Ziqing, his face a bit pale, he said solemnly, “What do you want to do?”
Ji Ziqing looked at her cousin. All along, this cousin would do things to disgust her, even knowing she would be married off, he remained so.
Ji Ziqing didn’t quite understand what he meant by it.
But now, there’s no need to dwell on it.
Because she could see it herself.
The ‘Zhou Yi Book’ contains tremendous power. The most terrifying aspect is that those recognized by it can see the causes and consequences through their own eyes.
Before, when Ye Xuan had Ji Zifan look at him, it was to judge whether Ji Zifan had truly been acknowledged by the ‘Zhou Yi Book’.
The answer was obviously no.
“Ridiculous.” Seeing the cause and effect, Ji Ziqing softly said two words, then waved her hand and said, “Ji Zifan pretended to shed blood on the ‘Zhou Yi Book’, deceived Floating Mountain into providing cultivation resources. Exile him to Eternal Night Cliff of the Death Abyss, confined for three hundred years.”
“Yes!” Zheng Shuang dutifully accepted the order.
“What right do you have to do this!?” Ji Zifan’s expression was ferocious.
“Because I am now the Saint Master of Floating Mountain.” Ji Ziqing said indifferently, overwhelmingly authoritative.
“Nonsense! You can never be acknowledged by the ‘Zhou Yi Book’; you’re nothing compared to me! Why should you be acknowledged by the ‘Zhou Yi Book’!?” Ji Zifan said ferociously, unable to accept the truth.
“Take him away.” Ji Ziqing waved her hand.
“Go.” Zheng Shuang forcibly dragged Ji Zifan away.
“Zheng Shuang, you traitor! After all the favor I showed you!” Ji Zifan roared, “I’ll kill you!”
Boom!
A nearby Elder could not stand it, and with a flick of a finger, suppressed Ji Zifan.
Zheng Shuang’s face was a bit pale, thanked the Elder, and then dragged Ji Zifan away.
Zheng Shuang was, after all, only at the peak of the Ancient Saint level, although a genius, he still felt pressured by Ji Zifan.
Even injured, Ji Zifan could kill Zheng Shuang with ease.
Zheng Shuang was not angry, leaving the Ji Family’s core area and heading straight for the Death Abyss.
That was one of the Forbidden Lands of the Floating Mountain.
“Senior Brother, it’s not betrayal; you always told me the wise adapt to circumstances, and now Ziqing is the Saint Master of Floating Mountain, you should bow your head too…”
Zheng Shuang said softly to Ji Zifan.
