Chapter 858: Farce
When Zhuang Zhou's figure appeared in front of everyone, the four Confucian people and those who were bought were dumbfounded.
As we all know, the Dao Sage has a total of three personal disciples, and the eldest disciple Xuan Du serves on the side all the year round, and rarely goes out to show up, and outsiders have only seen him in the Dao Palace or around the Dao Sage.
The second disciple Zhuang Zhou is in charge of the affairs of the Dao Palace and often shows up.
In other words, the people present may not have seen Dao Sheng, but they have definitely seen Zhuang Zhou.
Zhuang Zhou suddenly appeared, and the rumors on behalf of Lin Ze pretending to be a disciple of the Dao Saint were self-defeating.
Zhong You's face turned pale suddenly, and the arrival of Daogong Zhuang Zhou meant that the Confucian plan would be completely frustrated.
It's just that Zhong You was unwilling to admit defeat, but gritted his teeth and said, "It's just right that Zhuang Sheng came, this is really a disciple of Dao Sheng?"
Zhuang Zhou looked around and didn't notice that someone had made a move on Lin Ze, so he immediately glared at Lin Ze fiercely.
Hearing Zhong You's question, Zhuang Zhou calmly replied: "That's right, this is Lin Ze, the newly acquired personal disciple of the Poor Dao Master. ”
Zhuang Zhou, who didn't know the situation, glared at Lin Ze again: "Why didn't the junior brother report himself?"
Lin Ze pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Senior brother reported it, but people don't believe it, I have to say that I am a fake." ”
Zhuang Zhou was slightly stunned, and looked at the four Confucian people with a puzzled face.
Zhong You's face was a little unnatural, but he didn't pick up, but said stubbornly: "Senior Brother Ling openly slandered my teacher Confucianism and Confucianism, and asked Zhuang Sheng to give an explanation." ”
Zhuang Zhou was surprised and asked, "I don't know how the poor Taoist disciple slandered Confucianism and Confucianism?"
Zhong You was a little more confident when he heard this: "My master is kind enough to help your fellow Daoists survive the catastrophe, so that my junior brother will not say that my master wants to assassinate your fellow Daoists." ”
"My teacher has always been known for his benevolence, how can he be slandered like this? Please Zhuang Sheng, for the sake of the good relationship between Taoism and Confucianism, severely reprimanded his junior and younger brother, so as not to spoil the friendship between the two families. ”
"If my master learns about this and blames it, it will not end well. ”
Zhuang Zhou frowned slightly when he heard this, turned to look at Lin Ze and asked, "Have you slandered the Confucian Sage?"
Lin Ze asked loudly: "Senior brother, this person deceived your fellow Daoists in the name of Confucianism, but he didn't expect to be exposed by his junior brother, so he bit back in anger. ”
"The junior disciple has never slandered the Confucian Sage, and Shenjun, Mr. Mo Zhai, and the others present can all prove it. ”
Zhuang Zhou immediately set his eyes on Mo Zhai and Taishan Shenjun, as if he wanted to verify the matter.
Mo Zhai coughed lightly and replied: "Senior Brother Ling has indeed not slandered the Confucian Sage, but the fact that Confucianism deceived his fellow Taoists in the name of the Confucian Sage also needs to be discussed, and it is not yet conclusive. ”
Zhong You was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that Mo Zhai, who had never spoken up, would take the initiative to speak for Lin Ze.
Taishan Shenjun said coldly: "This god has never seen Senior Brother Ling slandering Confucian Sage, but he has seen Confucian disciples splashing dirty water everywhere in the name of Confucian Sage. ”
"If it weren't for Zhuang Sheng's appearance, I'm afraid that this god would have become the behind-the-scenes instigator of the junior disciple to slander the Confucian saint. ”
Zhuang Zhou turned around, looked at the four Confucians, and said quietly: "Poor Dao is suddenly a little curious, what did you Confucian sages say, why do poor Dao disciples think that you are deceiving fellow Daoists in the name of Confucian sages?"
Zhong You was still thinking at the moment, even if Taishan Shenjun spoke for the Dao Palace, why would Mo Zhai be like this?
Zhuang Zhou saw that Zhong You was silent, and frowned slightly: "Why didn't Zhong You Sage speak, don't poor Dao deserve to know?"
Zhong You woke up from his contemplation and said softly: "Zhuang Sheng's words are heavy, and I will follow the decree of my master and Confucianism, and unite all my fellow Taoists to discuss the plan to deal with the catastrophe......"
Zhong You said the Confucian suggestion at a very fast speed, and then said confidently: "My master Confucian Sage has good intentions, but he was said by his junior brother to be a bad intention, dare to ask Zhuang Sheng, is the Dao Palace still reasonable?"
Zhuang Zhou smiled softly and said: "The truth of the Dao Palace is that the number of days cannot be changed lightly, and the poor Dao junior brother has long said it clearly, how can he not be reasonable?"
Zhong You's heart sank when he heard this, he didn't expect Zhuang Zhou to be so blatantly biased towards his own junior brother, but he hated Senior Brother Meng Ke They were all in retreat and couldn't come forward, otherwise how could they be so passive?
Lin Ze added a sentence in time: "All of you present are enlightened people, you don't need to explain too much to the poor Daoist brothers, you should know that the way of heaven is eternal, and the number of days makes it, although it can be a small reversal, but it is absolutely impossible to reverse it greatly." ”
"If there is a great rebellion, even if it is done by a saint, it will suffer unimaginable backlash, and even have the worry of falling. ”
"The Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth is once in ten thousand years, which time is not the misery of life? If it is really so easy to survive, why do so many colleagues fall in the War of the Gods?"
"It must be known that the heaviest losses back then were the Daomen and the Buddha Gate, if there are other ways to avoid it, will the poor Daoist Master respect the Dao Sage, the uncle Tongtian Sword Master and the Buddha sit back and watch the disciples of the sect fall and be indifferent?"
"Or is it that the Confucian Saint realm far surpasses the other three saints?"
Zhong You, who was standing opposite Lin Ze, trembled with anger after hearing these words, and the whole person was extremely angry, if it weren't for Zhuang Zhou's presence, I was afraid that he couldn't help but do something to Lin Ze.
On the contrary, Bu Shang, who was standing beside Zhong You, still kept calm, and seeing that his plan was about to fail, he said in a deep voice: "The realm of saints is beyond our ability to figure out, if you can't believe in my master and Confucianism, and if you can't believe in Confucianism, our Confucian disciples are helpless. ”
"I would like to state two points below, first, my teacher and Confucianism are definitely well-intentioned, and they will definitely not harm your colleagues. ”
"Second, the protection and chance promised by Confucianism have always been valid, if you can trust my Confucianism, you can still choose to survive the catastrophe together, and later you can go back to the Jixia School Palace and meet my teacher in person. ”
At this point, please consider for yourself how to decide. ”
At present, it is unrealistic to want to win all the celestial beings into Confucianism, and Bu Shang can only make this strategy and complete the tasks assigned by his teacher as much as possible.
Someone in the crowd suddenly asked, "Even if you can't survive the catastrophe, the Confucian Saint is willing to pass on the Great Dao to us?"
Bu Shang replied indifferently: "If you don't believe it, you can ask my master Confucian Sage for verification in person." ”
"I believe that I am willing to take refuge in Confucianism, follow the Confucian arrangement, and in exchange for Confucian blessing and opportunity, I hope that Confucianism will take me in. ”
But he saw the Ten Thousand Poison Cave Master walk out of the crowd, and when he walked to Zhongyou, the four of them bowed and saluted, and their attitude was very sincere.
The cave master of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave knew that he had just opened his mouth to question Lin Ze's identity, and he had already offended the Dao Palace, if he could not get the blessing of Confucianism, the catastrophe would be current, and maybe one day he would respond to the catastrophe and die in the hands of the Dao Palace.
Bu Shang replied with a smile: "Confucianism welcomes Taoist friends to join. ”
"Thank you to the Confucian sages for taking you in," the Ten Thousand Poison Cave Master hurriedly got up and shouted at the others, "The catastrophe is coming, do you think you can stay out of it?"
"Since you can't stay out of it, why don't you turn to Confucianism? Do you think that you can be stronger than Confucianism by relying on your own strength?"
"Besides, there is such an opportunity as being promoted to the third realm of heaven and man, which can be met but not sought, can't you even tell the difference between right and wrong?"
The identity of the master of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave changed very quickly, and as soon as he took refuge in Confucianism, he worked hard to win over other celestials for Confucianism.
But I heard Lin Ze say loudly: "The Dao Palace is willing to accept the refuge of fellow Daoists and deal with the catastrophe together. ”
"As we all know, poor Taoist masters respect Taoist saints and have always liked to carry people who are destined, as evidenced by the Confucian saints who instructed the unenlightened Confucian saints. ”
