Two treasure maps

Chapter 96: Buddhist and Taoist Cultivation

Master Lingyuan looked at the cultivators gradually gathering around him, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. He originally planned to use the power of the people to deal with Guojiazhuang, but now it seems that those cultivators who were lured by rumors don't seem to buy his account. He knew that he couldn't control the situation as easily as before, so he quickly chanted the Buddha's name, trying to use the power of Buddhism to stabilize his mind.

"Amitabha, does Heavenly Master want to associate with the demon cultivators?" Master Lingyuan's eyes revealed a hint of displeasure, and he deliberately turned the topic to Hong Hu.

Master Qingyue and Hong Hu obviously knew each other. He couldn't help but feel amused when he saw Master Lingyuan's actions. He laughed and said, "Except for ordinary people, everyone is a cultivator of Taoism. Not to mention Buddhist cultivators and demon cultivators, all cultivators of Taoism cannot do without the word Tao."

Upon hearing this, Master Lingyuan frowned and retorted: "I practice Buddhism, not Taoism, so how can I not practice Taoism?"

Tianshi Qingyue looked at him with contempt and said, "This is the way of heaven, which is beyond your understanding."

Master Lingyuan was choked by Master Qingyue's words and was secretly angry. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, adjusting his emotions, and then said: "Buddha believes that all beings are equal. Whether they are demon cultivators or Taoist cultivators, they should all be illuminated by the Buddha's light." He directly pulled the Taoist cultivator into the Buddha's light.

Tianshi Qingyue didn't take it seriously. He said calmly, "The Dao is divided into two Daos, Qian and Kun. Taiji gave birth to two yin and yang. The two yin and yang guard Qian and Kun. The combination of the two is the Dao of Heaven."

Master Qingyue's meaning is also very clear. No matter whether it is Buddhist cultivation or demon cultivation, they are all inseparable from the two principles of yin and yang. The two principles combine to form Tai Chi. Tai Chi is the way of heaven, and it directly caps the Buddha's light.

Just as the two were arguing, Hong Hu suddenly interrupted and said, "Stop talking so much nonsense and remove the Brahma Sound Barrier first. The people in Guojiazhuang are still in danger."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cultivator stood up and said, "The Brahma Sound Barrier cannot be lifted unless Guojiazhuang hands over the demon dragon."

Hearing this, Hong Hu raised his eyebrows and said, "What basis do you have to say that there is a demon dragon in Guojiazhuang? Just based on what this bald donkey said?" He spoke directly and mocked the great wizard Lingyuan mercilessly.

These immortal cultivators all came from the famous Yunchan City. After landing, they formed six teams, each with its own logo. Three of them were Buddhists, and three were Taoists. At a glance, the three teams of Buddhists were Li, Guo, and Zhang. Their clothes were embroidered with lotus patterns, representing the purity and solemnity of Buddhism. The three teams of Taoists, Mo, Wu, and Han, wore clothes embroidered with Tai Chi patterns, symbolizing the balance and harmony of yin and yang in Taoism.

Master Qingyue stood in the crowd, his voice clear and firm, he spoke to defend the rights and dignity of the Taoists. The cultivators of the Mo, Wu and Han clans looked at each other, a tacit understanding flashed in their eyes, they secretly reached an agreement and decided to stand on the side of Master Qingyue. The Li, Guo and Zhang clans on the Buddhist side also reached a consensus, they stood behind Master Lingyuan, forming a solid barrier.

At this time, Hong Hu stood alone in the middle, his eyes fell on Taoist Ye Feng intentionally or unintentionally, making Taoist Ye Feng feel nervous. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is this Hong Hu an enemy or a friend? His appearance seemed to add a touch of uncertainty to this already tense situation.

Although the Taoists stood on the side of Master Qingyue and expressed their support for the Taoists, their eyes never left Guojiazhuang. They all knew that the treasure on the demon dragon was their real target. The Buddhists, on the other hand, openly maintained the Brahma Sound Boundary. They absolutely could not let the demon dragon escape, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Master Qingyue looked at the situation and felt helpless. He knew that this was not a solution, so he took the initiative to discuss it with Master Lingyuan.

"Whether we are Buddhists or Taoists, we should uphold the righteous path." Master Qingyue's voice was firm and powerful, and his view was supported by all the immortal cultivators present. After all, although immortal cultivators defy fate, they attach great importance to karma. At least on the surface, no one would support evil behavior.

Master Lingyuan also took a step back. He put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, what you said is very true. Do you have any good ideas?"

Tianshi Qingyue's eyes fell on the stretchers placed on the ground. The women lying on the stretchers were the furnace tripods released by the cultivators. He clasped his fists and saluted the cultivators of the major families, saying, "Please all cultivators, claim the furnace tripods and take them back to reduce unnecessary internal friction."

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the cultivators on both sides changed. They all knew in their hearts that many of the women lying on the stretchers were the cauldrons they had released. However, in the current situation, who would dare to come forward to claim them? When they were planning, they had already discussed that they would use the reason of the large number of victims to make the townspeople of Guojia Town stand on their side. But now, Master Qingyue actually directly slapped the faces of the major families. How could they do that?

Everyone was silent, no one came forward to claim the woman on the ground. Their hearts were full of contradictions and struggles. They wanted to get the treasure from the demon dragon, but they didn't want to be bound by the words of Master Qingyue. Hong Hu stood aside, quietly observing all this, and he was also thinking about his own plan in his heart.

In this stalemate, Hong Hu's eyes kept wandering among the crowd, and a barely perceptible arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. He knew very well that the silence at this moment was not the real calm, but the calm before the storm.

He slowly walked to the stretcher, and glanced at the women lying on the stretchers one by one. Although their faces were pale, they could still vaguely see their former beauty. He turned to face the crowd and said in a loud voice: "Dear cultivators, we are all cultivators, and we should understand the principle of cause and effect. These women were innocently harmed, and if we turn a blind eye to it, I am afraid that it will be unforgivable."

As soon as he finished speaking, a lot of discussion broke out on the field. Some cultivators looked unhappy, thinking that Hong Hu was meddling in other people's affairs; while others nodded secretly, thinking that what he said made sense.

Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn, Hong Hu secretly calculated in his heart that this was a great opportunity. A cunning flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly made a move. With swift and accurate movements, he grabbed the woman on the stretcher next to Taoist Ye Feng's feet and protected her tightly behind him.

This sudden move surprised everyone, and the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet. The members of each family moved closer and stood in a small circle. The gaps between the families became more obvious, and they were wary of each other.

Upon seeing this, Master Lingyuan's face darkened and he shouted, "Monster, what are you going to do?" His voice was full of anger and vigilance.

Hong Hu didn't care at all. He approached Hua Xiangu cautiously and said with a smile: "Master, why are you angry? I just want to see if there is your lover here?" There was a sense of teasing and provocation in his tone, and it was obvious that he was deliberately angering Master Lingyuan.

Master Lingyuan was so angry at his words that his face turned blue, and the monks around him were also angry, with blue and white on their faces, obviously angered by Hong Hu's rude behavior. However, they also knew that this was not a good time to take action, so they could only suppress their anger and stare at Hong Hu vigilantly, fearing that he would do something out of line again.
