Chapter 2569: Remembering the Past

Random recommendation:

"Fierce Bodhisattva" against "Great King Jin" for life and death!

This kind of temper is very much in line with Jie'e's character, but this kind of confidence still surprised people.

Yong Seng stroked his bald head and smiled meaningfully.

Jiang Mengxiong watched coldly from the sidelines, not saying a word.

Ji Xuanzhen himself is not someone who avoids battle, but he is not a pig either. To really fight just like this, if Jie'e wins, the winner will arbitrarily accuse "Mo Xu You". If Jie'e loses, this trip will be in vain, and the Jing Kingdom will also lose a Jin King. This business is a losing one.

"I've already said, at that time, you signed a contract on the Tian Ku and touched the Feng Chan Well under the moon. Perhaps the Fierce Bodhisattva thinks that since we have even mastered the process of you touching the seal, we cannot master your identity?"

Ji Xuanzhen stood tall like a mountain, facing the raging Vajra head-on with a cold face: "I will give you the opportunity to decide life and death. But not in your capacity as the Hanging Temple's Jie'e."

"But... the Divine Hero of the Pingdeng Kingdom!"

Jiang Wang was stunned when he heard this.

The Divine Hero is the key person in the entire major event of Zhongyong Chan. His body is almost connected to all the clues of the entire event.

Jie'e Zen Master is the Divine Hero? Then what is Gongsun Bu Hai?

Because of Gu Shiyi's death and Yin Guan's tragedy, he already resented the Divine Hero. Because Zhao Zi came to the door and sent three jars of wine, he took the opportunity to seek out the Divine Hero... Unexpectedly, after a thousand turns and back, he actually encountered the same matter outside the Hanging Temple.

The Jing Kingdom is also looking for the Divine Hero, and they are looking at the Hanging Temple.

His guess about the Divine Hero's identity was based on Gu Shiyi revealing his friendship with the Divine Hero. This should have been an information point that only he knew, because only he caught up with the residual banquet between Gu Shiyi and the Divine Hero, and only he continued to drink. Before that, people only suspected that Gu Shiyi was the Divine Hero, and no one said that Gu Shiyi and the Divine Hero were friends.

What kind of evidence does the Jing Kingdom have?

One stone stirred up a thousand waves. Ji Xuanzhen's one sentence stunned the entire field.

The booming footsteps suddenly stopped. Jie'e Zen Master raised his face, his bald eyebrow bone like a knife carving his face: "The more you say, the more absurd! If I am Jie'e, I am the Divine Hero, and you still have a king's title on you, why are you not King Zhao?!"

Ying Jianghong then stepped forward at this time, facing Jie'e instead of Ji Xuanzhen: "The Hanging Temple has been established for a long time, and you, Fierce Bodhisattva, are virtuous and respected. We will not come without evidence."

Compared to Ji Xuanzhen's ferocity, he was much calmer and seemed more confident.

"After resolving the trouble in Zhongyong Chan, we conducted a comprehensive investigation of the Feng Chan Well under the moon for the first time. We reshaped the spacetime maze and deeply analyzed the secret causes and effects... Finally, we discovered that in this event that occurred in Zhongyong Chan, there were two key external influences."

"One time was during the blood rain Tian Ku time, someone borrowed the power of the Tian Ku to release the ancient Tian Qi, causing the Tian Yin of the Feng Chan Well under the moon to loosen. This allowed Dizang to influence the Zhongtian Prison, release some power externally, and even touch the Heaven Dao... It used the method of helping others escape from prison to release more power externally, and at the same time further influenced the Heaven Dao, laying out the future."

"And another time was not long ago, that person controlled Huang Shoujie, the head of our dynasty's Jiqing Si Dao Tai Si, stole the Jiqing Si iron whip, borrowed the power of the country's system bestowed on the Jiqing Si iron whip by our dynasty's Tai Zu, and broke the era seal of the Feng Chan Well under the moon, resulting in a key section of the seal chain falling off... This matter directly led to Dizang's escape."

He looked at Jie'e: "Do you see any mistakes in the situation we have mastered?"

Jie'e only met his eyes, his face calm: "Whether these situations are right or wrong, the Central Court should review and see for itself. Why should you ask me?"

Ying Jianghong pressed the long sword in his hand, without appearing fierce. Even at this time, he moved his gaze away from Jie'e and looked towards Ku Ming Abbot: "Jie'e Zen Master said well. Escaping from the town is incomplete. Dizang shook the three bells, it shouldn't be said that someone's home can completely prevent it. Even the Jing Kingdom is no exception, so naturally it should not be blamed."

"But for Zhongyong Chan, we have already found the location of the problem and clarified the responsibility."

"You, the Hanging Temple, heard the bell ring, who should be responsible? By now, you can't just use 'negligence' to fob it off, right?"

He then turned his head to look at Yong Seng: "Since Master Yong can represent Sumeru Mountain, he doesn't mind telling us, who exactly is responsible for Sumeru Mountain hearing the bell ring?"

Yong Seng laughed: "I'm just someone who just entered the door, what do I know? When I entered Sumeru Mountain, Dizang's corpse was already cold, I don't even know which year the bell rang - Go ask yourself later. It's also like today blocking the door of the Hanging Temple."

"Right."

He suddenly thought of something: "The Central Empire questions the responsibility of the world, truly imposing! Did the Ming He Temple give you an explanation?"

"I think there will be!" Ying Jianghong's tone was firm.

Zhongyong Chan occurred after the extermination of Yi Zhen, during the time when the Jing Kingdom was injured and tired, which was the biggest crisis the Jing Heavenly Son had encountered since his ascension to the throne! It almost buried the possibility of this heroic lord becoming the Six Directions Heavenly Son. It is not strange how the Jing Kingdom treats the source of the disaster.

On the contrary, being silent like this only reveals weakness.

Everyone knows that the Jing Kingdom is now a giant that has just recovered from a serious illness. The deep illness is gone, and it is full of vitality. From now on, it will become stronger every day. But just recovering from a serious illness also means that it is currently at its weakest moment. The only question is... to what extent is the Jing Kingdom currently weak. Is it so weak that it can be pressed down on the sickbed!

Yong Seng laughed: "Then I am very much looking forward to it."

"Namo Sakyamuni!" Ku Ming Abbot joined his palms and sighed: "I heard the bell ringing in the Guanshiyuan before. Because of the lack of guarding, it was later moved to the Nianhua Yuan and guarded by Bei Hui Shouzuo. This time Dizang came out into the world, and the Jing Kingdom issued an order from the Central Heavenly Son, calling on all temples not to respond to the Tathagata. Dizang is not the World Honored One, and the World Honored One's legacy is the true Dizang. The Hanging Temple naturally did not respond, meaning it closed its doors and guarded itself, but it could not resist the means of transcending - If we are to bear responsibility, this old monk has the responsibility of not thinking thoroughly, and Bei Hui Shouzuo has the responsibility of not guarding strongly enough."

He slowly said: "But resisting transcendence with cultivation belongs to the difficulty of a real strong man. Now that everything is collapsing, how can you blame ants? Therefore, the Hanging Temple does not blame Bei Hui, and this old monk blames himself."

"This old monk will bear the punishment of thorns and receive the punishment of the five aggregates. To discipline the Zen sect."

The contemporary leader of the Hanging Temple looked at Ying Jianghong: "Is the Jing Kingdom satisfied?"

He then looked at Jiang Mengxiong, Yong Seng, Jiang Wang, etc.: "Is the world satisfied?"

Everyone was silent. To put it bluntly, hearing the bell ring and having no definitive evidence is a man-made shake. And if responsibility is to be discussed with "negligence", Ku Ming, in the capacity of the leader of the holy land of the Zen sect, has done this, and the world itself cannot... say "not satisfied".

He is already humble enough, concedes enough, and bears enough!

To press further would be bullying.

Ying Jianghong also did not make any more speeches on this matter, but praised: "Master Ku Ming truly has a lot of responsibility. But I hope you will not lose this heart and not give up because of the matter."

He then looked back at Jie'e: "We have come to ask you a question that should be asked. Huang Shoujie is already dead, but everything this person did through Huang Shoujie has left deep traces in the Heaven Capital City, which are clear at a glance in our eyes. Through the line of Huang Shoujie, we have confirmed the identity of this person, who is the Divine Hero of the Pingdeng Kingdom - And coincidentally, when the Netherworld was born, the trace of the Divine Hero also appeared in the East Sea. And you, Jie'e Zen Master, were nowhere to be found during that period of time."

Before Jie'e could argue, he continued: "And in the blood rain Tian Ku line, we have already ruled out the possibility of others in the Heaven Capital City making a move at that time and moment. We have limited the scope of the person who released the Tian Qi to the outsiders who entered the Heaven Capital City that day - To be precise, among the strong people who witnessed that battle. Jie'e Zen Master, it is also so coincidental that Heaven Capital City wept blood the other day, and you were on the list. It is so coincidental that you originate from the Hanging Temple, believe in the World Honored One, and Dizang claims to be the World Honored One!"

Indeed, there are too many coincidences, all piled up on Jie'e Zen Master.

Even Jiang Wang couldn't help but be moved.

Did the Divine Hero go to Heaven Capital City twice?

If the Divine Hero was the one who touched the Feng Chan Well under the moon in Heaven Capital City that year, then his recently formed guess would have to be overturned.

Because Gongsun Bu Hai was not in that place at that time.

At that time, the one who represented the Three Punishment Palace, descended to Heaven Capital City, and even hosted the entire duel... was Han Shentu, the master of the Gui Tian Palace!

Han Shentu naturally shouldn't be the Divine Hero.

But Jie'e Zen Master is several hundred years older than Gu Shiyi, and there is no record of any acquaintance with him. Can he really be the Divine Hero?

Of course, Jie'e Zen Master had a period of secluded death, an experience that no one knew about. It is also very possible that he, like Gongsun Wu Hai, used a false name to walk the Jianghu.

"Yes, so coincidental..." Jie'e's angry eyes widened: "Does the Central Empire determine guilt by coincidence?"

Human affairs, causality is countless. This body is tied to a thousand threads of fate. If you have to pick apart some coincidences, you don't know how many there can be! His forehead was bulging with blue veins, and in an instant, he had the appearance of an angry tiger: "If your words are exhausted here, this old monk will be doubly disappointed!"

"Don't rush. It's not time to jump over the wall yet." Ying Jianghong only pressed the hilt of his sword and said indifferently: "If you don't dare to listen, then come and hit my sword formation."

Of course, Jie'e cannot make a forced move at this time. If he does, it will default to the crime name the Jing Kingdom people have placed on him. So he said: "The Southern Celestial Master is like a chatterbox, and this old monk will listen. I only advise you to speak with substance, not to lose the dignity of the Central, lest the world laugh."

Ying Jianghong only looked at him calmly and said to himself: "The Central Empire was born with the state system, and its Tao Li is as long as life. It is rare for blood rain to fall in the Heaven Capital City in ancient and modern times. If not for all sorts of coincidences, perhaps no one would dare to think that such a thing could happen. Suppose if that day had not happened, how would that person have touched the Feng Chan Well under the moon? Seeking other paths, I fear, would be a thousand times more difficult than this one."

His voice rose: "But the blood rain in Heaven Capital City that day was exactly the Tian Qi moving the Feng Chan. We have reason to believe that that person was certain that the Seven True Discussion of Dao would occur, that a true person would die, and that blood rain would fall. Even further, he was certain that the Seven True Discussion of Dao would occur! He has been waiting for this day for a long time, so he carried the ancient Tian Qi related to the World Honored One and made enough preparations!"

Jiang Mengxiong, who had been observing in silence, slightly raised his head at this moment.

The smiling Yong Seng slightly widened his pupils.

Jiang Wang, who originally didn't want to speak, was even more frozen in place.

Ying Jianghong said: "Oh, on that piece of ancient Tian Qi, the name of the World Honored One is mentioned, which is also a coincidence. Another coincidence! This humble self has thought about it over and over again, this kind of Tian Qi, I fear, can only be found in the Hanging Temple?"

"The cause of the Seven True Discussion of Dao is Ku Jue's death in the middle of the long river. Ku Jue is an existence related to Zhen He Zhen Jun and his teacher. He is also a true person of the Hanging Temple, a Zen cultivator of the same generation as the current Abbot of the Hanging Temple."

The Southern Celestial Master of the Great Jing Empire looked at Jiang Wang at this time: "Zhen He Zhen Jun, do you still remember the past?!"

His voice rose high: "The Seven True Discussion of Dao, willingly giving up life and death without resentment, has become a story, but how can the former cause and consequence not be clear? How can the twists and turns not be known? I believe you also want to know the truth of Ku Jue's death, and I believe you are also unwilling to be used as a knife for others!"

The sword in its sheath hummed.

There was this sound in the midst of sorrow, and the sky opened a gap in the ten thousand li clouds!

Jiang Wang stood there, forcibly suppressing the sword intent that wanted to burst out! Making the bright sky of the main hall darken by three points.

He never thought that today's matter could actually involve him.

He never thought that the long past sad matter still has an echo!

How can he forget?

How can he forget!

He naturally thought of that day, of the surging long river like a mirror, and of the hand Ku Jue raised.

He raised his hand to press the hilt of his sword, and slightly pursed his lips.

And Ying Jianghong, who was looking at him at this moment, continued: "On that one day of the Seven True Discussion of Dao, you specifically went to the Hanging Temple before you decided to come to Heaven Capital City. At that time, was it Abbot Ku Ming who was with you? Can I ask what he talked to you about?"

"No, that's not right." The Southern Celestial Master shook his head again: "With your sharpness, perhaps he wouldn't talk to you about anything. Because once there is a tendency in his words, his intention might alert you. I guess he only showed you a segment of fate, which is how Ku Jue died - Am I right?"

Jiang Wang was silent.

Because what Ying Jianghong said was completely correct!

That day he came to the Hanging Temple to inquire about the cause of Ku Jue's death, and Master Ku Ming did indeed only show him a segment of fate!

Ying Jianghong saw him like this and knew that his guess was completely correct.

"But what you saw, is it the truth? Or rather, was Ku Jue's action truly what he thought? What you saw was Ku Jue's fate, something that really happened, but it doesn't mean that is the truth!"

"Zhen He Zhen Jun, do you know what Abbot Ku Ming in front of you, this fat monk who overpowered his contemporaries and reached the top, cultivates?"

"It's fate!"

"Ku Xing, who cultivated the 《Now Xian Jie Jing》 and was regarded as a candidate for Abbot, died. Ku Jue, who created the 《Three Treasures Four Consciousness Method》, has since fallen head over heels. Finally, it is this monk Ku Mian, who is often sad for all living beings, who reached the top of the Hanging Temple. Do you know the story behind this?"

Ying Jianghong's voice was even higher: "Can you be sure that Ku Jue's decision that year was not influenced by some external force he didn't know about? Can you be sure that all your choices that year were not influenced by any external force? Do you know why the blood rain in Heaven Capital City was bound to happen? This wasn't arranged by Master Ku Ming... a necessary fate?"

The blood battle in Heaven Capital City the other day, Yi Zhen killing six true, was a big matter that influenced Jiang Wang's life, and a great loss for the Jing Kingdom - The scene witnessed by all sides almost made people think of the time when the Heavenly Sons of the Five Countries met in Heaven Capital City, which made many high-ranking officials in the Jing Kingdom alarmed.

Although after this incident, the Jing Kingdom has already resolved the grudge with the current Zhen He Zhen Jun.

But if there is a deeper conspiracy within this matter, it is impossible for the Jing Kingdom not to pursue the responsibility.

Jiang Wang killed his way to the door. Jiang Wang was more or less a person who signed the life and death certificate openly and frankly, and won the blood battle against six true. More or less, Jiang Wang was actively bullied by the Jing Kingdom several times, and he was slandered as a demon by the world. Even now, he is still criticized by people.

But these big bald heads of the Hanging Temple, residing in the Star Moon Plain... How dare they plot against the Jing Kingdom like this?
