Today, there are four major forces in the world. Taishang Laojun is the leader of the human religion, and the three saints of Huoyundong are the saints of the human race. Because the human race has always formed an alliance and advanced and retreat together, the four naturally became the strongest force in the world.
And because Jiejiao has two saints, the strength of these two people is at the top among all the saints. They also have the Zhuxian Formation and the Chaos Bell. The strength of Jiejiao is not much worse than Taishang Laojun's group of four saints.
Because the first two groups were too strong, Yuanshi Tianzun and Zhunti joined together. Now Hou Yi has joined their group. They have three saints and Pangu Banner, but their strength is similar to that of Jiejiao.
And because Nuwa was not gregarious and high-spirited, she became a force on her own. Her force was only a saint. Her strength was ranked sixth among saints at most, so she was naturally incomparable with the other three parties.
However, because the three parties stand as a tripod and are about the same strength, if Nuwa joins any party, either party will overwhelm the other two. Each party wants to pull Nuwa over, but even if they can't, they don't want her to return. He had won over the other two parties, so neither of them wanted to offend her and tolerated him in every way.
"In this way, Nuwa is the most arbitrary among the four parties. She acts as she pleases and dares to fight. On the contrary, she often takes huge advantage from the other three major forces.
All these ten saints appeared here, and this place suddenly became a gathering place for the ten saints. Ma Fan, a quasi-sage, came in, and he suddenly became very different and conspicuous. Therefore, as soon as the saints stood still, they all Before he could say anything, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately attacked Ma Fan: "This junior is so ignorant. We, the saints, are discussing matters. You can't participate, why don't you leave quickly."
Standing with so many saints, Ma Fan is under a lot of pressure, and he also wants to leave. If Yuanshi Tianzun doesn't speak, maybe he will privately ask the leader of Tongtian for instructions, and then leave, but now Yuanshi Tianzun said this. On the contrary, he could not leave. He looked at the leader of Tongtian, but waited for him to make a decision.
As soon as Yuanshi Tianzun finished speaking, Master Tongtian spoke: "Hahaha, since Wuliang is standing here with us, we have to go together. If you insist on not keeping Wuliang, then forgive me and Kong Xuan. I won¡¯t accompany you anymore.¡±
Hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly looked extremely ugly, and said coldly: "Tongtian, please think carefully, this junior does not have the strength of a saint, standing here may not be a good thing for him."
Very unexpected. As soon as Yuanshi Tianzun finished speaking, before Master Tongtian could speak, Taoist Zhunti smiled and said: "Hahaha, fellow Taoist Yuanshi, this junior wants to stand here. Just let him stand. If he stands It¡¯s not stable. If you fall down and it¡¯s a bad fall, it has nothing to do with you, so why do you have to worry about it for others?¡±
The leader of Tongtian Cult said with a smile: "Hahaha, yes, Wuliang is my disciple of Jiejiao. If he loses his footing and falls, even if he falls to death, you don't have to worry about it."
As soon as the Tongtian leader finished speaking, he heard Taishang Laojun slowly say: "Okay, Wuliang has joined the Tao, which represents the way of heaven. You can't talk about it with other quasi-sages. Besides, the teacher is not here today, so Wuliang will Since he represents the teacher, he should stay."
The Taishang Laojun spoke on behalf of the four saints, including Master Tongtian and Kong Xuan, as well as the Taoist Zhunti who spoke before. Seven of the ten saints agreed with Ma Fan to stay. Even if the remaining three people objected, it would be of no avail, and the matter was immediately settled.
"Hmph, you are willing to lower your status and want to make the incident of Donghuang Taiyi happen again. You will definitely regret it in the future!" Yuanshi Tianzun said coldly, and immediately stopped entangled in this matter.
After listening to a few words from several saints, Ma Fan suddenly realized that although this matter seemed like a trivial matter, it turned out that there was a profound meaning behind it.
Ma Fan secretly analyzed in his heart that if he could stay here today, it would be equivalent to the saints recognizing him and affirming his status as equal to the saints. This would be an extremely important event in the world.
From now on, he is equal to a saint. When calculating anything, he will be regarded as a saint. However, even the pattern of heaven and earth has changed. From now on, many things in heaven and earth will undergo huge changes. In this way, Jiejiao has three saints. If all the religions want to take action against Jiejiao, they will naturally have more concerns. Moreover, if voting, show of hands and other methods are used to decide a major event in the world , he also has a precious vote, but he can decide and change many things. His standing here is a great thing for Jiejiao.
However, after he has the status of a saint, once a saint challenges him in a duel, even if he loses to his enemy, Master Tongtian and Kong Xuan will probably not take action, because after their status is equal, they will have one more person. layer of care?, once they take action, they will bully the few with more, and Tongtian and Kong Xuan generally cannot afford to lose this face.
Moreover, once he has an equal status with these saints, even if the saints attack him with all their strength, they will not be gossiped about and their reputation will not be damaged. In this way, there will never be any "you take my three moves, I will spare you" If you die or something like that, I will definitely go all out when I make a move, and I won't hold anything back.
There is still a gap between Ma Fan's strength and these saints. Once these saints treat him as an equal, release their restraints when facing him, let go of their hands and feet, and no longer hold back, he will be in extreme danger, and the possibility of his death is extremely high. One stop put him in danger, which was really the worst thing for him personally.
Ma Fan has made Buddhism like this. Taoist Zhunti really wants to get rid of Ma Fan with all his strength so that he can persuade Yuanshi Tianzun to keep him here. However, Tongtian Cult Master is very conceited and has confidence in Ma Fan, so Even knowing that this would happen, I still left him here.
As for what Yuanshi Tianzun said about Donghuang Taiyi back then, Ma Fan didn't know what was going on. He could only ask Tongtian Cult Master later.
As for the question of whether Ma Fan should stay or not, it is really obvious. Now that the seven saints are keeping him, if he leaves, he will lose the face of the seven saints who support him, and he will do the same in the future. Being looked down upon by all the saints in the Three Realms, even if he was slapped in the face and made to look fat, he couldn't back down, he had to bear it all.
In fact, Ma Fan doesn't know that in the past, only two people enjoyed the treatment he has now. One of those two people was the ancient demon emperor Donghuang Taiyi, and the other was Zhu Jiuyin, the leader of the ancestral witches. Although they were not saints, they But they have been treated equally by saints. Since the Lich War, no one in the Three Realms has received this kind of treatment, whether it is the Jade Emperor, the Lord of the Three Realms, or the almost immortal Styx Ancestor who is closest to a saint, or the Speed ???? The unparalleled demon master Kunpeng and others have never obtained it. The Tathagata Buddha who is closest to this status is known as the leader of the three religions in Buddhism, and is ranked with the two sages of Buddhism. However, he is not recognized even after leaving Buddhism. From this we can see Come on, Ma Fan¡¯s stop here is so rare and difficult.
"Okay, now that business is out of the way, let's talk about business." Taishang Laojun still said slowly: "Why do you disobey Daozu Hongjun's prohibition, fight to the death here, and bring trouble to the world?"
After the words fell, there was silence between heaven and earth, no one spoke.
Seeing this, Taishang Laojun immediately asked Hou Yi: "Hou Yi, you were the first to disobey the ban. Can you tell me what happened first?"
Hou Yi frowned slightly and said: "The Moral Heavenly Lord has clearly seen that I have been subject to restrictions before and was at the mercy of countless Taoists. He called me here, but I cannot disobey it."
After hearing Hou Yi's words, Ma Fan quickly said: "This junior is ordered by Taoist Hongjun and the Jade Emperor to maintain the stability of the Three Realms. There are many people with evil intentions in the Three Realms who hate me and plot to besiege me. I have no choice but to do so." I summoned fellow Taoist Hou Yi to help me. The circumstances of this matter are special. Although I violated the prohibition, it is reasonable and I think everyone can understand it.
However, after killing one or two people and frightening those with evil intentions in the three realms, the junior has lifted the restrictions on fellow Taoist Hou Yi and freed him. Fellow Taoist Hou Yi later refused to go back to the confinement and disobeyed. Bans were issued frequently, but they stopped doing my business. "
Hou Yi felt a little anxious when he heard what Ma Fan said, and said quickly: "But it was the leader of Tongtian who attacked me indiscriminately, and that was the reason for the subsequent fight."
The leader of Tongtian Cult said: "It was Hou Yi who attacked Wuliang first, and I took action only after he wanted to kill Wuliang."
"Hou Yi said that it was Tong Tian who took action first, which led to the subsequent fight, while Tong Tian said that Hou Yi violated the prohibition and took action against Wuliang first, and then he took action. There is some contradiction in the accusations between the two of you. Who was the first to take action against the prohibition? "Tai Shang Laojun suddenly asked.
Taishang Laojun is well aware of this matter and knows the whole story in his heart. But now he is asking this question. If you want to ask who made the first illegal move, it is obvious that the leader is more inclined to Tongtian.
Hou Yi naturally heard the unfairness in Taishang Laojun's seemingly fair question, and quickly argued: "It was indeed me who made the first move, but it was Wuliang Taoist who robbed me of Hou Yi's bow, Hou Tu tablet, etc. The magic weapon also used insidious means to seize my mental power and seriously injured me first, so I had no choice but to take action."
After listening to Hou Yi's words, Ma Fan immediately stood up and said: "Everyone clearly sees that Hou Yi's bow, Hou Tu stele and other magic weapons were given to me willingly by Hou Yi in exchange for freedom. This matter is proved by Gonggong, although now he He has already fallen, but he swore to God at that time, and God also sent a response, and he would know the truth after checking.
As for what Fellow Daoist Hou Yi said that I harmed him with sinister means, it doesn't exist. I just took back the power that was left in Fellow Daoist Hou Yi's body when I arranged the ban. "
?After saying that, Ma Fan thought to himself: "If I were not here, I would have no choice but to let Hou Yi slander me and have no place to defend myself. But now I can confront Hou Yi and always have a chance to speak.
This is the benefit of being able to stand here. Although it is somewhat dangerous to stand, the benefits are greater. Compared with the benefits, this risk is nothing. "
