Chapter 522: Discussion, Jin Ye’s Advice
In the leaky hall, the cultivators listened to Yang Qian exaggerating the prosperity of Heguan and the tyrannical behavior of Lingxuzi. They were indignant and greedy. They all roared along with the demons, and it was difficult to distinguish between humans and demons in the hall.

Ji Ming felt amused. He had been preaching for a long time and thought he had taught carefully, but in the end, these killers still could not eliminate the root of evil.

“Silence!”

A great monk shouted angrily, “If you are so crazy, even if you have copied the Avici Qi and heard the subtleties of Buddhism, you will still fall into the devil’s way when you practice in the future. How can you seek transcendence?”

“Guilty, sinful.”

Ji Ming clasped his hands together and chanted scriptures on the stage, guiding all the monks in the hall to chant together. For a while, the sound of chanting spread throughout the temple.

After reading the scripture, Ji Ming said, “Practice in my society, and do not repeat the ugly things you did in the past. This time I gave Lingxuzi a bad retribution because he plotted against me. This is the cycle of cause and effect.”

“It’s the cycle of cause and effect.”

Meng Nan pinched his fingers and said, “I think that the Heguan relies on the hegemony of Lingxu Zhenren, and there are many humans and demons in the temple, but there is no great guidance like the Zen Master Chishen, so they are greedy, lustful and happy, and sink into the sea of ​​right and wrong.

The Zen master’s intention is not only that cause and effect will always be cyclical, but also that it is a warning to the Heguan disciples.”

“exactly.”

Yang Qian agreed with shining eyes.

Ji Ming smiled slightly, laughing at Meng Nan’s confusion of right and wrong and gossiping. His heart was even more vicious than Yang Qian and his ilk, but now it was just a knife in his hand.

Now that Meng Nan is instigating here, he will inevitably be pushed forward in the future to become the pioneer in the crusade against Heguan.

“Yang Qian, you are able to see through the old villain’s plot. One of the remaining two lotus seats should belong to you.”

As he spoke, Ji Ming extended his hand to invite Yang Qian, who raised his arm and bowed, then sat down leisurely, and nodded slightly to Meng Nan in a subtle way.

“This idiot.”

Seeing Yang Qian being invited to take a seat and nodding to him, Meng Nan felt a headache.

Yang Qian, a good disciple of Taiping Mountain, actually associated with their unorthodox ways. I really don’t know if his head grew out of his butt. Even if he sits in this position, how many people here would like to see him?

But on second thought, with Yang Qian here, even if the matter is brought to the government office for investigation later, they only need to push Yang Qian out, and that would be a drama of internal strife in Taiping Mountain. Even if the matter is brought to the government office, they would have to swallow their anger.

Meng Nan thought of this and subconsciously looked towards the stage.

He saw Zen Master Chi Shen sitting high up, with a kind face and approachable appearance, but Meng Nan felt as if he was staring into a deep well, which made him feel inexplicably afraid.

“This Zen master invited Yang Qian to sit down. Did he have the idea of ​​using him as a scapegoat for the crime later?”

Meng Nan didn’t dare to think about it any further. If he did, he would think of himself – could he be a chess piece with a hidden purpose in the hands of this Zen Master Chi Shen?

On these nine lotus flowers, there are three disciples from the Thousand Flowers Cave of Qingzhen Temple, namely Old Demon Huai, Madam Shagu and Hu Laixi, as well as the Blood Forest Master, Meng Nan, Golden Lion Ape, Shu Si, and Yang Qian, making a total of eight people.

When the practitioners saw that there was still one seat missing from the lotus throne, they all vied with each other to recommend themselves.

Ji Ming shook his head and said to the cultivators in the hall: “Nine is the number of great success, and if the great success is missing, the remaining one is the number of change, and it cannot be forced to make up for it.”

In the hall, U-Tsang chose a lotus leaf to sit on, clasped his hands and said in tears: “The profound truth is hidden in the Zen master’s wonderful words. This saying of great achievement but incompleteness is in line with the words of our Buddha, ‘All ignorant beings are originally pure. If they reflect on their minds, they will become Buddhas.’

When I heard this, I suddenly felt enlightened. I was so emotional that I couldn’t calm down. I hope the Zen master will forgive me. “Ji Ming looked at Wusizang from the Great Sangye Monastery. This flattery was indeed quite effective, but it didn’t touch his heart, so Ji Ming didn’t give any feedback, which made Wusizang feel uneasy.

The monks paid no attention to this. When they saw Uszang taking his seat, they all scrambled for a seat. Soon the forty lotus leaf seats were full. Although those who had not grabbed a seat were unwilling, they had to leave the hall temporarily.

“Good, the number of seventy-seven is incomplete but full.”

Ji Ming was very satisfied. Although he could not control the power in the hall, he could still use it to his advantage. So he said, “In the future, when discussing Buddhism, we should follow this example.”

In the lotus seat, Yang Qian said impatiently: “Master, now there are many capable people in the temple, why don’t we take advantage of this opportunity to go to the southeast, ride the Crane Temple together, take the money in the temple, and distribute it to the poor and needy monks, so as to pay off the bad karma and accumulate good karma.”

Seeing that Yang Qian had rarely spoken a well-reasoned and complete statement, Ji Ming asked the forty-nine monks and demons in the hall, “What do you think?”

“Don’t act rashly!”

The Golden Lion Ape said in the lotus seat.

He wanted to dissuade them, but was afraid that it would backfire, so he slowed down his words and said, “The Heguan can control an entire state, so the relationship must be far-reaching. If we go there rashly, we may become the enemy of the entire state. Even if we have great abilities, it will be difficult to escape unscathed.”

“So you have to take them by surprise.”

Yang Qian said in a confrontational manner.

The Golden Lion Ape glanced at Yang Qian and said, “I heard that Lingxuzi’s cave is in Hemingfang, not far from Heguan. He has captured powerful enemies from all four realms in the second battle. Now he has refined the Cang-grade golden elixir and is proficient in all kinds of magic.

At the moment, I am afraid that except for those great cultivators who have completed the “Sun and Moon Refining” in the late Jindan stage, ordinary Jindan fourth stage cultivators, and even metamorphosis monsters, are not a match for him.”

“you”

Yang Qian was angry and anxious. He wanted to refute, but he felt that the other party’s words had substance and it was difficult to refute.

If he had no confidence in defeating the old villain Lingxu, why would he resort to such shady tricks?

Seeing that the Zen Master Chishen on the stage seemed to be persuaded, Jin Ni Yuan hurriedly said, “Master Meng, among all of you present, only you have fought with Lingxuzi. I would like to ask, among all of you Taoist friends, who has a chance of winning?”

Meng Nan was really stumped by the question and looked around.

On the stage, Jin Zhuliu stood up straight, while the Taoist Huo Huan, who came with Jin Zhuliu and was sitting on the lotus leaf, shrank behind the figure of someone else.

After looking around, Meng Nan shook his head slightly in despair. He was shocked to realize that no matter how smart he was, he could not defeat Lingxuzi who was so powerful.

“hehe!”

Shu Si, who was lying in front of Ji Ming, gradually regained his clarity of mind and said with a low laugh, “How can the light of a firefly compete with the brightness of the bright moon? Master Meng is a wise man. I only have one Six Ding Divine Fire from my master. Who here can take it?”

After saying this, Shu Si laughed. He no longer believed that he could escape from the devil’s nest and just wanted to end it quickly.

Ji Ming patted Shu Si on the head. This guy became much bolder and it was obvious that he wanted to die quickly. For a moment, he was moved by Shu Si’s loyalty and righteousness, but also resented Shu Si for not cherishing him.

Shu Si was stunned by the slap. Even though the force was not strong, he felt unprecedented humiliation. No one except the master had the right to slap him like this. In an instant, his hair stood on end and he kept swearing.

When Ji Ming saw Shu Si scolding him, he was stunned for a few moments, his face turned dark, and he pointed at Shu Si, and the mirage dragon energy once again bewitched Shu Si’s mind.
