Chapter 650: Become the King, Time Stops

Monk Deyun looked towards the main hall. Under the arrangement of the abbot, six brothers who were familiar with him stood up.

"Deying, Degang, Dexin..."

He thought about what Zhang Zhiwei had just said. What was in common with them?

He sorted them out one by one. Brother Deying was the elder of the Relics Courtyard. The Relics Courtyard kept the relics of the great monks in the temple after their death.

These relics are a representation of the monks' long-term diligent practice of Buddhism. They contain profound Buddhist principles, are sacred objects of inheritance, and are also carriers of cultural exchange.

The Relics Courtyard has brought the relics enshrined in this temple to the Tiantai Sect in Japan for display many times, under the pretext of "exchange of Buddhism".

Brother Deying was one of the few opponents. He felt that this temple was a sect temple. Even if they really wanted to exchange Buddhism, it should be the Tiantai Sect of Bihe Mountain, which was a branch sect, who came to pay homage, instead of the monks of the Relics Courtyard bringing the relics.

With this idea in mind, Junior Brother Deying has never been to Japan.

Monk Deyun looked at another junior brother, Junior Brother Degang.

He is a monk of Longshuyuan. Longshu Bodhisattva is the first ancestor of Tiantai Sect, and the status of this temple in Tiantai Sect can be seen.

Most of the monks in this temple practice the way of the first ancestor. They are not interested in the modified doctrines of the Japanese branch sect. They advocate maintaining the integrity of their own heritage and are unwilling to be influenced too much by the Japanese branch sect. Junior Brother Degang is one of them.

He looked at Dexin behind him. This is his senior brother, a high monk of Zhengdaoyuan. He is devoted to practicing Buddhism and rarely asks about worldly affairs. His idea is the same as Junior Brother Degang. He does not want to be involved too much with Japan.

The other monks behind Senior Brother Dexin also have a similar point, that is, they oppose too much contact with the Japanese branch sect.

In Tiantai Sect, the monks who oppose going overseas to promote Buddhism and contact with the Japanese branch sect are only a minority after all.

But the abbot arranged the most determined and respected monks among these few monks to fight against an unfathomable and extremely dangerous opponent.

Could all this be a coincidence? ... Monk Deyun murmured to himself.

Then, he remembered the abbot's instructions when he arranged for him to fight against the little Tianshi, asking him to do whatever he wanted and kill him, regardless of life or death.

With the decisive character of the little Tianshi, if he really killed him as the abbot said, the little Tianshi would definitely not show mercy, and he would have no choice but to die.

And once he died, the brothers who came with him would have to listen to the abbot's instructions and avenge themselves. Once they took action, they would definitely be more fierce and fight to the death.

In this way, let alone what would happen to the besieged little Tianshi, those brothers would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Thinking of this, even if Monk Deyun was unwilling in his heart, he could only come to one conclusion, that the abbot wanted to use the little Tianshi to clean up those fellow disciples who did not want to have too much contact with the Japanese branch.

"Abbot... Uncle Ku Rong... Why are you doing this?"

Monk Deyun sighed sadly, and was so angry that he spit out blood in big mouthfuls.

Monk Deyun thought that there was a problem in the temple, and he suspected many people, but he did not suspect Abbot Ku Rong.

Because, since Abbot Ku Rong handed over the position of abbot to Master Dehong, he has been practicing Zen in the back mountain, and has never gone down the mountain, let alone set foot in Japan.

The abbot has never been to Japan, and has no communication with the monks in Japan, so how could he collude with the Japanese pirates?

It was with this idea that every time they had a conflict with those monks who were close to the Japanese branch, they would ask Abbot Ku Rong to preside over justice.

The abbot would also give them a seemingly double-sided coping strategy, so they never doubted him, but they never expected that what they thought was the most unlikely was precisely the most hidden.

Even the abbot and the host were like this, is there really any hope for the huge Tiantai Sect... Master Deyun couldn't help but feel deep despair.

At this time, Zhang Zhiwei said: "Fortunately, you know when to advance and retreat, and you are sensible. Otherwise, if you were beaten to death by me, many innocent people in Tiantai Sect might have died."

He noticed the change in Master Deyun's mood and smiled faintly: "Master, there is no need to be so pessimistic. The purpose of my trip is to get rid of the dross and keep the essence for your Tiantai Sect. Those who defected to the Japanese pirates and those who were disloyal will be eliminated, leaving only those who practice Buddhism seriously."

Master Deyun's eyes were empty, and he shook his head helplessly: "Little Tianshi is very powerful, but there are some things you can't do. Even if you do, it's meaningless."

If he inferred that, most of the monks in the high-level of the sect had more or less ties with the Japanese pirates. If, according to what the little Tianshi said, all these people were eliminated, how many people would be left in Tiantai Sect? How big is the difference between that and being exterminated?

For a moment, his mind was in a mess, and all kinds of thoughts appeared in his mind, but suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air, he stopped thinking, turned his head and looked, and saw that the six monks assigned by Master Ku Rong had surrounded him with various means.

Although it was a bit shameful to use the majority to bully the minority against a junior, it might be laughed at by the heroes of the world.

But they were all monks who had practiced for many years, and they had seen through these things of fame and fortune. They didn't care. If they could lose the little Tianshi here, what would face count for?

At the same time, in front of the Great Hall, the monks of other sects all looked at this scene with solemn faces. Although the siege was a bit unkind and even violated the rules of the rivers and lakes, no one spoke out to stop it.

No matter how they view this scene in their hearts, on this occasion, they are all members of the Buddhist sect. At most, they can only talk about it verbally, and it is absolutely impossible for them to go to war over the nose of an unflattering Taoist calf at this juncture.

Even the abbots of the Three Putuo Temples were the same. However, the three abbots looked at each other and seemed to have discovered something.

On the other hand, the warlords and celebrities who came to watch the Dharma Conference felt that the monk was a bit unworthy, and they thought that after this incident, they must get to know the Taoist priest more.

Monk Deyun discovered the behavior of his fellow monks, and quickly staggered to his feet, waving his hands and shouting, saying that the abbot was colluding with the Japanese pirates, and now he wanted to use the help of the little heavenly master to clear out the opposition in the temple and stop them from being impulsive.

As soon as these words came out, the imaginary uproar and betrayal did not appear, and even the expression of Monk Kurong in front of the Main Hall did not change at all.

Even the three abbots of the Three Putuo Temples just felt their hearts sinking and glanced at Ku Rong slightly, but did not say anything.

Although the goal of their trip was to explore the depth of the connection between the Tiantai Sect and the Japanese pirates.

But if, as Deyun said, even the abbot defected to the Japanese pirates, this would undoubtedly be extremely terrifying.

It was so scary that even eminent monks like them subconsciously avoided this question.

Compared to Abbot Kurong being a traitor, they were more willing to believe that Monk Deyun had just been brainwashed by the Little Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain in a strange way.

After all, Zhang Zhiwei's methods are still a little too difficult to understand for people who don't know the truth.

In their eyes, Zhang Zhiwei didn't even have much conversation with Monk Deyun. He just gave Monk Deyun a hand. Monk Deyun's expression changed, sometimes with surprise, sometimes with pain, sometimes with despair, and then again with the hysteria just now.

This is really abnormal. Instead of believing the crazy words in this state, it is better to believe that Zhang Zhiwei is causing trouble.

On the distant mountain peak, Zuo Menzhang, who had been secretly observing, shook his head and said: "Little friend Zhiwei has very high methods and good ideas, but he underestimated people's hearts. He did not expect that the Tiantai Sect would be infiltrated here, and even the abbot's The situation is all on the Japanese side, and this is much more serious than we expected before we came here.”

Although he didn't understand how Zhang Zhiwei did it, Chief Zuomen was definitely on Zhang Zhiwei's side.

Zhang Jingqing also shook his head: "I didn't expect that old guy Kurong, who has been in seclusion for more than ten years, would get in touch with the Japanese pirates."

"The matter has come to this, do we need to come in and clean up the mess?" Zuo Ruotong asked.

In his opinion, since it was confirmed that Ku Rong had an affair with the Japanese pirates, even if they came in, uprooted them, and used themselves to save others, Buddhism would not be able to say anything, and they would have no shame in starting any disputes between Buddhism and Taoism.

"There's no rush, it's not yet time, the people who should show up haven't shown up yet." Zhang Jingqing shook her head, "Moreover, this problem of Tiantai Sect is really serious, and our end is no longer appropriate. Could it be that those who have had an affair with the Japanese pirates should be punished?" Kill all the monks?”

"Shouldn't he be killed?" Yi Qian, who was accompanying him, said silently.

Zhang Jingqing paused and said, "It should be killed, but we shouldn't kill him."

"Then who should be killed?" Yi Qian asked, "Buddhism itself?"

Zhang Jingqing said nothing.

Yi Qian just thought he acquiesced and continued: "Come on, those bald donkeys have trouble killing a chicken."

Zuo Menchang stood aside and didn't say anything. He was not thinking about who should kill him, but he was thinking about whether he should kill him.

He is a person who has been kind to others all his life. Even if he encounters a completely evil person, he often thinks that his cultivation is not easy, so he gives him a chance and spares his life.

Many people say that he did this because he has a bodhisattva heart and understands that strangers who embark on the path of spiritual practice have experienced a path of pain that is unbearable for ordinary people, so he has compassion and cannot bear to kill.

He didn't refute it, but he also didn't admit it. You should be sincere. Some things are no matter what others say, but don't lie to yourself.

The reason why he likes to leave a thin line and give others a chance is not because he has some bullshit compassion.

In fact, he is holding on to the idea that he will never do anything and give others a chance. When one day, he is no longer there, or he cannot take care of Trinity Gate.

Those who were favored by him and whose lives were spared by him, when they were collided by the disciples of Trinity, could also look at his face and give the disciples of Trinity a chance.

Therefore, according to his usual thinking, he would punish the chief culprit at most, and it was impossible to go down and kill all the monks who had affairs with the Japanese pirates.

According to Zhang Jingqing's opinion, he wanted to kill the monk, but he didn't want to do it himself.

Of course, Zuo Ruotong didn't think that Zhang Jingqing wanted Zhang Zhiwei to take action.

In this matter, Zhang Jingqing and Zhang Zhiwei actually have the same identity.

So who does he want to take action?

Zuo Ruotong thought, and at the same time, he was also curious about what little friend Zhiwei was thinking.

At the same time, six monks had already flown over at the Tiantai Sect’s Dharma Assembly.

"Amitabha, Junior Brother Deyun, this demon must have cast a curse on you just now. This poor monk is here to save you!" Master Dexin shouted angrily.

Immediately afterwards, the six monks ignored Monk Deyun's obstruction and used their own methods. Their bodies condensed into six illusory Vajra, surrounded Zhang Zhiwei, and took action respectively. One after another, the true energy with different attributes evolved into techniques. Fa, hit him.

Facing the attacks of the six monks, Zhang Zhiwei sat cross-legged on the back of the nine-headed lion without any other movements. A golden barrier appeared out of thin air, and all the various methods were blocked by the golden light.

One of the monks took off a string of Buddhist beads from his neck and threw it out. The Buddhist beads scattered and turned into beads that shot over.

There was a "卐" character on the surface of each bead, which could easily penetrate steel. Moreover, under the blessing of the rune, they also had the ability to break the law, and were specifically used to overcome the body protection abilities such as the Golden Light Mantra and the Golden Bell Cover.

But even so, these specially made prayer beads were still blocked by Zhang Zhiwei's golden barrier. Those prayer beads were visibly suspended on the golden light and rotated at high speed, but even if they drilled themselves to smoke, they could not drill even one centimeter.

At the same time, there were monks who were good at boxing. They suddenly raised a breath of Qi, and in one go, they punched around the golden barrier. In just a blink of an eye, they had thrown hundreds of punches, and each punch had the effect of breaking Qi, but it was all in vain.

This scene shocked everyone present.

Ordinary people only felt that Zhang Zhiwei was like a god who could not be violated, and he was indestructible. He really had the momentum of a Buddha who could not be moved by the eight winds and sat on the purple gold lotus.

If he was not dressed as a Taoist priest at this moment, but as a monk, these Xinzhou might have to worship him and shout "Buddha Tathagata".

As for the monks around and the strange people with cultivation, they felt their teeth sour when they heard the continuous clanging of metal and iron in their ears. They couldn't help but complain in their hearts. It was not said in the rivers and lakes that the tortoise shells of Longhu Mountain were so hard!

Among the strange people who were invited to watch the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, there were several who were proficient in numerology. They had the Qimen Manifestation Heart Method, which could open their eyes and see things that ordinary people could not see.

In their eyes, Zhang Zhiwei was not only surrounded by golden light, like a god descending, but there was also an even more amazing scene. Under his feet, with him as the center, a blue compass pattern suddenly spread on the ground.

Inside the pattern were the eight trigrams and heavenly stems rotating clockwise, and outside were the earthly branches and the twenty-four solar terms rotating counterclockwise. It was extremely complex, but also linked together.

"It turned out that he used himself to determine the center palace. It is said that the little Tianshi is also proficient in numerology. He is second to none in the Qimen, but few people have seen it. Now it seems to be true!" Several people were shocked.

Immediately, they saw that Zhang Zhiwei lifted the golden light around him, and the six monks who were attacking like a storm just now, together with the nine-headed lion under Zhang Zhiwei, were like a video with the pause button pressed, and they all stopped moving.
