The spread of Esoteric Buddhism to the north was the trend of Buddhism, and no one could stop it. The Shaolin Temple could not, let alone Su Xin.
The Great Master said in a deep voice, "Spreading the Dao is to fight for luck. If you don't fight for it, someone else will.
If we can't even deal with the Four Great Constables of the imperial court today, how are we going to fight with the Shaolin Temple in the future? "
Actually, according to normal practice, even if the Esoteric Buddhism gathered all its strength, they would not be qualified to fight with the Shaolin Temple.
Among the 49 sects of the Zhou Kingdom, other than some remote places, the other sects were guarded by the top forces of the pugilistic world. If the Esoteric Buddhism went to spread the Dao, it would definitely clash with the local forces. It was likely that a portion of its strength would be lost before it could fight the Shaolin Temple.
This was why the entire Esoteric Buddhism had joined forces to make a deal with the Human Emperor of the Zhou Kingdom and spread the Dao in Shengjing first.
If the Shaolin Temple found out that they were spreading the Dao elsewhere, the abbot Xuan Ku might directly kill them. However, they did not have to worry about this in the Zhou Kingdom. At the very least, the Shaolin Temple would not dare to act presumptuously in the Zhou Kingdom.
Chi Ming said with a gloomy expression, "Master, are you going to personally kill this Su Xin?"
Although Su Xin had the experience of killing a Yang God Realm warrior before, warriors of the same level knew that it was only because Su Xin had used some tricks, and it could not be replicated.
If the Great Master, who was at the Yang God Realm, personally took action, Su Xin would definitely not be able to stop him.
The Supreme Master of Great Strength shook his head with a slightly disappointed expression.
The people of Buddhism had stayed in the Western Frontier for too long. Although they could focus on cultivation, study Dharma, and were worshiped as true Buddhas by the local people, it was also because of this that their scheming was far inferior to that of the Shaolin Temple, which was surrounded by Taoism and treading on thin ice.
At the very least, if it were a warrior in the Divine Transformation Realm from the Shaolin Temple, he would be able to come up with an idea that was 100 times better than Chi Ming's.
The Grand Master of Great Strength said, "Su Xin was right about one thing. You have to follow the rules of the place. This is Shengjing City, not the Western Frontier.
I can't handle this matter. If I make a move, I'll be breaking the rules. The cultivators of the Zhou Kingdom won't sit back and watch me make a move in Shengjing City.
Let's go find His Majesty the Human Emperor and see what his attitude is. "
Chi Ming nodded reluctantly. He was used to using his fists to solve problems.
Their Mighty Heavenly Dragon Temple was very impressive in the Western Frontier. Now, they had to complain to someone, which made Chi Ming feel very uncomfortable.
However, even though Chi Ming wasn't good at scheming, since the Supreme Master of Great Strength had said so, he would do as he was told.
After settling Chi Fa down, Chi Ming went straight to the palace to find the Human Emperor of the Zhou Kingdom to ask for an explanation.
When Su Xin returned to the Six Fan School, he bumped into Fang Jiuyuan, who was about to go out.
When he saw Su Xin, Fang Jiuyuan's lips curled into a mysterious smile. "Lord Su, I heard that you've been in conflict with Esoteric Buddhism recently?
Tsk tsk, Esoteric Buddhism was invited by His Majesty to study that white jade slab. You can't offend them. Lord Su, you'll have to control your temper. "
Su Xin looked at Fang Jiuyuan and said nonchalantly, "Lord Fang, do you know what the most tragic thing in this world is? It's when you painstakingly scheme against the other party, only to realize that the other party is no longer on the same level as you. "
Fang Jiuyuan's expression changed slightly, but he still said nonchalantly, "Lord Su, what do you mean by this?"
Su Xin shook his head and said, "Lord Fang, you should know what I mean. If you're too clever at scheming, don't throw your life away."
Fang Jiuyuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you threatening me?"
Su Xin did not say anything. He just shrugged and walked through the door, leaving behind Fang Jiuyuan, who was shivering all over.
Actually, Fang Jiuyuan had always been wary of Su Xin.
Fang Jiuyuan had always suspected that Liu Fengwu's death had something to do with Su Xin. Although there was no evidence, all sorts of speculations pointed towards Su Xin.
Back then, Su Xin had only been in the Divine Transformation Realm, yet he had dared to kill Liu Fengwu. It could be seen that this person was extremely daring and did not care about the rules of the Six Doors. Although Su Xin usually talked about the rules as if they were very important, Fang Jiuyuan was very wary.
Fang Jiuyuan's heart was filled with wariness. This Su Xin had even dared to kill Liu Fengwu. If there was a chance, would he let him off?
However, Fang Jiuyuan did not regret secretly spreading rumors to plot against Su Xin. As long as Su Xin was around, Fang Jiuyuan's power in the Six Doors would slowly be eroded away.
Su Xin was different from the Tie Clan. Although he was now relying on the Tie Clan, he was still considered an outsider.
The Tie Clan had to maintain absolute fairness, so they could not have a one-man rule in the Six Doors. Coupled with Ji Haodian's orders, even if he knew that Liu Fengwu, Fang Jiuyuan, and the others had been secretly playing tricks in the past, Tie Ao could not interfere. He could only rely on Tie Zhan.
However, things were different now that it was Su Xin. Su Xin was not a member of the Tie Clan, so Fang Jiuyuan did not have to worry about this.
Moreover, Su Xin had made a great contribution and was favored by the emperor. Even if Su Xin was clearly targeting him, so what? Even if he made a scene with the emperor, no one would help him.
Therefore, from the day Su Xin took over, Su Xin was destined to be Fang Jiuyuan's enemy. Unless Su Xin betrayed the Tie Clan.
However, even if Su Xin was stupid, he would not do such an idiotic thing.
Less than two hours after Su Xin returned to the Six Doors, someone from the palace came to announce an imperial edict for Su Xin to enter the palace. Su Xin could more or less guess that it was those foreign monks of Buddhism who had come to look for Ji Haodian.
Su Xin secretly sneered. Actually, even if they did not look for Ji Haodian, Su Xin was prepared to expose the matter to Ji Haodian.
It was not that Su Xin wanted to look for Ji Haodian to make a decision, but Su Xin wanted to know Ji Haodian's attitude and what the goal of Buddhism was. Only then would he be able to decide how to face the people of Buddhism.
Su Xin followed the person who came to deliver the imperial edict into the palace. Only Guru Chi Ming of the Buddhism was present. When he saw Su Xin enter, his eyes revealed an undisguised killing intent.
Seeing Su Xin come, Ji Haodian coughed and said, "Su Xin, just now, Guru Chi Ming of the Great Heavenly Dragon Temple said that you had a conflict with their Buddhism. What's going on?"
Before Su Xin could answer, Guru Chi Ming said stiffly, "Your Majesty, back then, you made a deal with Buddhism and allowed Buddhism to preach in Shengjing City.
Now, one of the four Super Arresters of the Six Doors, Su Xin, is openly stopping us from preaching. Does this count as a violation of the agreement? Your Majesty, please give Buddhism an explanation. "
Upon hearing Guru Chi Ming's words, Ji Haodian immediately frowned. Su Xin also secretly shook his head. Why did Buddhism send such a person? Did he think that this was the western border? He actually dared to speak to Ji Haodian like this.
Ji Haodian might look half-dead now, but as long as he was alive, he would be the ruler of the dynasty and the Human Emperor of the Zhou Kingdom. Interrupting him was rude and breaking the rules.
If it wasn't for the fact that Buddhism was cooperating with the Zhou Kingdom, Tang Xian might have gone up and given him two slaps just now.
Although Guru Chi Ming was a true Buddha respected by everyone in Buddhism and a Harmonious Soul Realm expert, he was nothing in the Zhou Kingdom.
Harmonious Soul Realm experts were indeed very powerful, but the Zhou Kingdom didn't lack them.
For example, a Harmonious Soul Realm expert like Su Xin could be one of the four Super Arresters or the military's Chief Supervisor. These positions of power were all in the hands of Harmonious Soul Realm experts.
However, how many positions of power were there in the Zhou Kingdom? Su Xin and the others still had to be respectful to Ji Haodian. A foreign monk of Buddhism actually dared to say that Ji Haodian broke the agreement. One explanation after another. What explanation did he want?
This was also why Ji Haodian needed the information from Buddhism to research the secret of the white jade slate. If it was someone else, even if that person was a Harmonious Soul Realm expert from the Shaolin Temple, Ji Haodian would still teach that person a lesson.
However, to the current Ji Haodian, the secret of the white jade slate was the most important. All the small details could be ignored for the time being.
Therefore, Ji Haodian suppressed the anger in his heart, coughed, and said indifferently, "Guru Chi Ming, don't be anxious. I will give you an explanation."
Su Xin cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to stop Buddhism from spreading its teachings. Their spreading of teachings has nothing to do with me. However, it's a pity that they can't break the rules!
The Zhou Kingdom has its rules, and the Six Doors also has its rules. If Buddhism wants to spread its teachings, it's fine, but it has to abide by these rules. "
Su Xin turned his head to Guru Chi Ming and said coldly, "Right now, there are Buddhism believers in Shengjing City, and there are also Taoist temples and monasteries. However, they also have to abide by the rules of the Zhou Kingdom.
May I ask this guru, what kind of place do you think Shengjing City is? How dare you override the rules of the Zhou Kingdom? Do you think you have the right to do so? "
"You …" Guru Chi Ming's eyes were burning with anger, but he couldn't win against Su Xin. He even said a few words in the Western Jiang language that Su Xin couldn't understand. It was obvious that he was furious.
At this moment, Ji Haodian waved his hand and said, "Alright, the two of you don't have to argue anymore. This is just a small conflict. No one died, so it's fine.
As for the deal between the imperial court and Buddhism, Su Xin, you may not know about it. Just pay attention in the future and open the door for the people of Buddhism.
"As for Guru Chi Ming, don't take it to heart. After all, Su Xin is one of the four Super Arresters of the imperial court. He is in charge of the security of Shengjing City. He also acts according to the rules. Wouldn't punishing him mean that the rules of the Zhou Kingdom are constantly changing?
Therefore, let's just treat today's matter as a misunderstanding and let it go.
I still have some healing medicine made by the Zhou Kingdom. Guru Chi Ming, take it back and use it on Guru Chi Ming. It won't take long for him to recover. "
Ji Haodian didn't punish either side heavily, nor did he say much. Instead, he just made up for it and sent away Su Xin and Chi Ming, who was still a little unconvinced.
