Chapter 1554 Power Lobbying

As soon as King Ksitigarbha said this, before Zhang Daoling had time to react, those Emperor Shenxiao and Jiuling Yuansheng couldn't help but yelled and cursed.

"Dizo, you bald donkey, what do you mean? Could it be that you want to abandon us and run away alone. Let me tell you, your wishful thinking is nothing short of wishful thinking. Don't forget, we are on the same rope Grasshopper, we can't escape, and you can't survive!"

"Several Taoist friends are serious. We are originally from different streams of Buddhism and Taoism, so how can we be called grasshoppers on the same rope? Besides, this is originally a matter of everyone sweeping the snow in front of the door and not caring about his house. The matter of frost. I have the ability to clean up my sins, but if you can't, what does this have to do with me?"

What King Ksitigarbha wants most now is to get rid of his charges as soon as possible so that he can escape from this catastrophe. As for the others, he can't manage so much, and he doesn't have the ability to manage so much. In a word, being able to survive is one's own ability. If you can't survive, you can't blame others.

When he said this, those people naturally gritted their teeth with hatred, but Zhou Yi became interested and asked him directly.

"Why, Earth Store Bodhisattva, are you so sure that I will forgive you at this time, and show you a way?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, from what the poor monk sees, His Majesty is not a person who acts on his own will. Leaving the poor monk a way out can bring more benefits to His Majesty than killing the poor monk. Killing the poor monk, Your Majesty You can only vent your righteous anger for a while, and you won't get much benefit. But if you keep the poor monk, your majesty can put shackles in the Buddhist gate, and use the poor monk's ability to check and balance the Buddhist sect's future. This is the kingly way for the superior Choose, Your Majesty must think twice!"

The Ksitigarbha King speaks eloquently, and the reason why he dares to say such words is entirely because of his years of drilling and research on power tactics.

Power tactics, to put it bluntly, are the means used by the superior. As a superior, one of the most important means is checks and balances. It's like walking a tightrope. If there is too much weight on that side, it will lead the tightrope walker into the abyss. Only when the two sides are balanced can the tightrope walker move forward quickly and steadily.

In Ksitigarbha's view, as the only two remaining pillars of Buddhism, he is qualified to represent one side's check and balance. After all, the power of Buddhism today is out of balance.

As another pillar of Buddhism, Avalokitesvara not only holds half of the power of Buddhism, but also becomes a family with an existence like Yang Jian. Although it is said that this breaks the precepts of Buddhism, it seems a bit inappropriate. But don't forget that the growth of strength is the key factor to overwhelm some opponents.

With Yang Jian's status today, even if he is loyal to the Emperor of Heaven, it is impossible to change the situation on the Buddhist side. And when the two of them have it, then the Buddhist gate has become a hall of speech for their family.

At that time, no matter how much the Emperor of Heaven trusted Yang Jian's loyalty, it would be absolutely impossible to allow such a huge force to belong to one family.

Therefore, at this time, my own role is highlighted. As long as you have yourself, half of the Buddhist sects will not be able to follow Avalokitesvara. And as long as he is willing to be loyal to the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of Heaven will have a practical means to check and balance Guanshiyin's family. Therefore, whether it is in terms of tactics or in the long run, this is the best choice. Faced with such a choice, he didn't believe that Zhou Yi, the emperor of heaven, would not be tempted at all.

It can be said that at this moment, Ksitigarbha feels that he is 100% sure, at least 70% to 80% sure. Unfortunately, this is just his personal opinion. Rather than Zhou Yi's view. At the very least, in Zhou Yi's view, this kind of scheming is simply not on the table, and he doesn't even bother to do it.

Why did the emperors in the past like to play this kind of checks and balances? That's because they themselves are just a mortal body. Peel off the shell of the real dragon emperor, and take down the halo of the innate talent. After all, they are just ordinary people. As an ordinary person, if they don't need tactics to control them, what other means can they use to control them? If they let themselves go, who knows who the world belonging to their family will become.

So how did those fatuous masters come about? They just didn't use means. However, there is a premise for this, that is, if you have power in your hands, no matter whether you use means or not, you will not be a fatuous master.

To put it far, it is like Alexander the Great who was once Megatron. He has conquered countless times in his life, all the way from Europe to Asia, and has provoked countless enemies. Even the Macedonian Empire, where its foundation is located, is also suffering from internal and external troubles. But because he holds a powerful army in his hands, with unparalleled power. Any problem must be surrendered in front of this great emperor. It wasn't until his untimely death that the hidden dangers of the entire Macedonian Empire broke out. A huge empire just fell apart and fell into the dust of history.

This is far. And said near. The Great Yuan Empire established by the Mongols almost conquered the entire world at that time. Westerners even felt that where the Mongolian emperor's horsewhip pointed, even God would tremble. And laying down such a large territory, ruling such a huge empire. Did the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty have any tricks and tricks?

The answer is no. And why can he still coerce the world and make people in the whole world submit under his feet? In the final analysis, it was the power he possessed that gave him the qualifications to ignore all schemes at all, and the capital to not need to resort to tricks.

The situation in Zhouyi is like this, and it is even more severe than these examples. Because his own strength is enough to offset some methods. If the subordinates are not convinced, they will be subdued, and if someone plots against him, they will be slapped to death. For those mortal emperors, these things are simply impossible to do alone. But for Zhou Yi, it was nothing more than a little effort. Not worth mentioning at all.

What's more, even if you don't do it yourself. He also has a way of dealing with these guys. Because standing behind him are the millions of heavenly soldiers and generals in the heavenly court, who are warriors who the whole heavenly world wants to win fame and wealth. In front of these troops driven by the big pie drawn by Zhou Yi, what is a mere Buddhist school? Even if the entire Buddhist and Taoist schools are added together, I am afraid it is just a chicken and a dog, which is vulnerable to a single blow.

So Zhou Yi was nothing to be afraid of, or in other words, he didn't take Ksitigarbha's words seriously at all.

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's kindness, I appreciate it. As for the Buddhist check and balance, you don't need to worry about it. Let's not talk about whether I need to check and balance the forces under my hand, and play some tricks to tell right and wrong and balance strength. Even if it is me I need to do this, and I will not use a traitor like you who once conspired."

Words like "Your Majesty" immediately froze the compassionate smile on Ksitigarbha's face. He originally thought that he had the chance to win, but he didn't expect that it would be the result of such a steep turn in the end. So of course, his heart has already broken down a bit.

He still wants to fight for it, but Zhou Yi doesn't give him time to fight for it. Because at this time, he could feel the movement from Gu Yi. She has been busy with her work all the time, and she didn't even respond to such a big movement here, she obviously discovered something at this moment. And her discovery is the real top priority for Zhou Yi.

In Zhou Yi's heart, the value of one Kunlun Hill is definitely more than thousands of rebels like Ksitigarbha. It would be better to take a step in the morning and open up the channel with the earth if he has the time to waste time on him. So when Ksitigarbha wanted to talk more nonsense, he became impatient and slapped him.

This slap is not something so simple as to slap you in the face. With the strength shown by Zhou Yi, if it is really slapped, even if it is Ksitigarbha's ability, it will definitely end in nothing but being wiped out. He didn't dare to take it hard at all, so immediately, he manifested his golden body of Buddha, and turned into a streamer, wanting to escape to the sky.

If you don't escape, you can't, if you don't escape, you will die. Although he knew in his heart that even if he ran away, he might not be able to escape from the palm of the Heavenly Emperor, but somehow he thought about it, it was better than staying here and being slapped to death by him, right? Besides, if there is such a little bit of luck, and escaped from the palm of the Emperor of Heaven by chance, wouldn't this little life be saved? And as long as you are alive, what can't be solved?

Such thoughts are not the thoughts of one person, but the thoughts of all the rebels present. Perhaps before, the reaction of these guys like Jiuling Yuansheng was not as quick as Ksitigarbha. But when faced with such a critical moment of life and death, if they don't react quickly, then they really don't even have a chance to react.

People are forced to come out, and they are no exception, so seeing that the Ksitigarbha King has started to flee for his life, and knowing that he is in trouble, it is the turn of people like myself. The desire to survive began to persecute them, making them flee one after another not to be outdone.

And when they fled, they also had a ghost idea. It's not a group of people getting together and fleeing together. It's like a husband and wife bird that is facing a catastrophe. It's completely a posture of dividing things and seeking good luck.

Everyone has a fluke mentality, thinking that it may be someone else who died instead of themselves. Maybe the Emperor of Heaven was busy killing those other guys, but let himself escape?

On this point, everyone is of the same mind. And this also made their actions appear to be extremely tacit, and even brought some troubles to Zhou Yi.

Just like killing a mosquito, one mosquito may be sure to slap one mosquito at a time. But if you kill a group of them in one go, you may inevitably miss a few caught fish.

When it comes to escaping, these people should not be underestimated. Zhou Yi slapped down Ksitigarbha and several emperors of Shenxiao, but let Jiuling Yuansheng escape. After all, he was born on a horse and was born to run fast. And seeing that Zhou Yi couldn't hold him for the time being, he was about to escape from birth. A sudden change suddenly appeared in front of him. Blocked all his way of life.
