Tianpeng Rebirth: The Battle of Buddhism and Taoism
Chapter 8: Finding the traitor and reuniting the people
After returning from Taishang Laojun, Bajie, Yang Jian and Ao Bing immediately began to deploy. They knew that time was running out, and if they could not find out the Buddhist insiders in the heaven and dispel the rumors as soon as possible, the plan to fight against Buddhism would probably die in the cradle.
The three of them used their connections and magical powers to set up spies in various places in the Heavenly Palace. Yang Jian used his divine eyes to secretly observe the gods who were acting suspiciously; Ao Bing used the water creatures to explore the waters of the Heavenly Palace for information, because water can penetrate into various hidden places; Bajie used his seemingly foolish but actually shrewd mind to skillfully chat with the gods and try to find flaws in their words.
After several days of secret investigation, they finally found some clues. Several gods who had no grudges against Bajie and his companions changed their attitudes drastically after the rumors spread. Not only did they avoid Bajie and his companions, but they also slandered them in front of other gods from time to time. Moreover, these gods would go to a remote corner of the heaven at a specific time, as if they were meeting with someone secretly.
"It seems that there is something wrong with these guys. We have to find an opportunity to catch them and make them reveal the mastermind behind them." Bahuanxiang said with a firm look in his eyes, looking at the recorded information in his hand.
After discussing, the three decided to take action at their next secret meeting. After patiently waiting, the opportunity for them to meet again finally came.
When the gods sneaked to the remote corner, Bajie and the other two had already ambushed them. Before they could react, Yang Jian tied them up tightly with the immortal rope in a lightning speed.
"Who on earth is instructing you? Why are you spreading rumors and slandering us in the Heavenly Palace?" Yang Jian glared at them, the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand flashing with a cold light, scaring the bound gods so much that they trembled all over.
One of the gods trembled and said, "Please spare us. We are helpless. It was... a messenger from the Buddhist sect who found us and said that if we spread the rumors according to their instructions, they would give us great benefits after the success."
"Where is the messenger now?" Ao Bing asked sternly.
"We don't know either. He always contacts us and meets us secretly here." Another god quickly replied.
Bajie frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "In that case, let's use their own strategy against him. You guys wait here for the messenger as usual, and we'll hide and wait for him to show up, then catch him together."
The gods had no choice but to nod and agree. They set up many traps on the spot and waited quietly for the arrival of the Buddhist messenger.
Not long after, a gust of cold wind blew, and a mysterious man in a black monk's robe and a bamboo hat slowly appeared. As soon as he appeared, he noticed something strange, but it was too late. Bajie and the other two launched an attack instantly, and all kinds of magic weapons and spells rained down on the mysterious man.
The mysterious man reacted very quickly, waving the black staff in his hand, and a black light curtain instantly unfolded, blocking most of the attacks. But he didn't expect that Bajie and the other two were well prepared, and there were many heavenly soldiers hiding around. With Bajie's order, the heavenly soldiers rushed forward and surrounded the mysterious man.
Under the combined siege of the crowd, the mysterious man gradually lost his resistance. Yang Jian saw the right moment, rushed forward, and pressed the mysterious man's throat with his three-pointed double-edged sword.
"Who are you in Buddhism? Why are you stirring up trouble in Heaven?" Yang Jian asked coldly.
Seeing that he could not escape, the mysterious man simply took off his bamboo hat, revealing a gloomy face, and sneered: "Humph, I am a secret envoy of Buddhism. The Tathagata Buddha has long expected that you would take action. Do you think you can stop the great cause of Buddhism? It's just wishful thinking!"
"Take him to the Lingxiao Palace and let the Jade Emperor and the immortals see the ugly face of Buddhism!" Bajie shouted.
So, everyone took the mysterious man and the controlled gods and marched towards the Lingxiao Palace in a mighty manner.
In the Lingxiao Palace, Bajie recounted the incident in detail and asked the mysterious man and the gods to testify. After hearing this, the gods were shocked and expressed indignation at the Buddhist sect's behavior.
The Jade Emperor looked gloomy and said, "This is really too much for the Buddhist sect to dare to play tricks in my heaven."
The Supreme Lord stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, now the truth is out, it can be seen that what Tianpeng and others said is true. The Buddhist sect is ambitious. If it is not curbed, the Heavenly Palace and the Three Realms will face disaster."
All the immortals echoed, and the originally wavering immortals also stood firmly on the side against Buddhism.
After pondering for a moment, the Jade Emperor finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, I will unite all forces and fight against Buddhism! Tianpeng, Yang Jian, and Ao Bing, listen to my order. I will appoint you as the vanguard of the fight against Buddhism and prepare for war immediately!"
Bajie and the other two knelt down to express their gratitude. They knew that a great war concerning the fate of the three realms was about to begin, and they would shoulder a great mission to lead the heavenly court and various forces to fight a thrilling life-and-death battle with the Buddhist sect...
