Fellow Taoists, please respect yourself.

Chapter 378 Daozu New Scripture
"Is it...Brother Jiang?"

Below the stage, a Taoist priest widened her beautiful eyes slightly as she looked at the Taoist priest in black who descended from the sky.

Although I only met Jiang Lin once, that meeting left a very deep impression on me.

Among the geniuses present, there were quite a few Kun Daoists, but almost all of them were staring at the Taoist in black.

At this moment, the Taoist in black was disheveled. The collar of his originally neat martial arts robe was untidy, and the neat Taoist bun on his head was also much looser, with a few strands of hair hanging down mischievously on both sides of his forehead.

Although he is unkempt, in the eyes of the female Taoists, he is so unrestrained and free, like a carefree immortal.

"Are you guys competing?"

Jiang Lin dusted off his clothes and pulled up his collar. He didn't know if it was an illusion or something, but he always felt that there was a hint of disappointment in the eyes of several of his fellow sisters.

"Brother Dao, yes."

At the side, a genius who clearly carried the aura of the Quanzhen Longmen sect raised his hand to salute, and then answered.

"It seems I am disturbing you."

Jiang Lin looked down at the broken arena beneath his feet and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It's okay. It's time for us to end our communication. It's just..."

The Dragon Gate Sect's Tianjiao looked at the sky with some confusion and asked, "Brother Jiang, why... would you fly over here like this?"

Hearing this, Jiang Lin sighed, looked around, and said, "Don't tell me you haven't experienced this."

After hearing these words, the pride of Longmen Sect felt sad.

Familiar, too familiar.

The scene of Jiang Lin falling from the sky just now was so familiar.

I don’t know if it’s some infectious disease, but the Taoist masters from all sects like to grab the collars of their youngsters and fly away.

Or just like playing with a ball, if there is a disagreement, they will grab the collar and throw the person out without saying a word.

It is often only when you get to the place that you know what you want to do and what the Taoist's intentions are.

It's called experience, but in fact it's just an excuse for his riddle-like behavior.

You just know how to make trouble for us kids!
Jiang Lin calls this behavior late-stage Riddler Syndrome.

Anyway, any disciple who is favored by the Taoist masters will basically not be able to escape this fate.

For Jiang Lin, it is a common occurrence.

"So I understand."

The genius of Longmen Sect nodded in agreement, and then asked everyone to make way.

"Everyone, please make way and don't delay things. Brother Jiang Dao was thrown here."

As soon as the words came out, everyone made way for him.

Everyone looked at Jiang Lin with understanding in their eyes.

Brother Dao, we understand you because we have been there too.

Jiang Lin and the many geniuses looked at each other in silence.

"Everyone, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go and greet the Taoist masters first."

Jiang Lin bowed to all directions, then turned around and headed towards the Jiuku Temple on Laojun Mountain under the gaze of a group of geniuses.

There, there was the aura of many Taoist masters. It seemed that after I suddenly left, the Taoist masters still did not move.

When Jiang Lin entered the Hall of Rescue, he found that although there were still many Taoist priests here, quite a few of them were absent.

When Taoist Su Yi from Laojun Mountain saw Jiang Lin, he smiled and said, "Little Daoist Brother Jiang, are you done with your work?"

After asking Jiang Lin to sit down, Taoist Su Yi asked attentively, "Little Daoist Jiang, how is the situation in Northern Julu Continent?"

The Taoist masters here are the true backbones of all Taoist sects in the world, and they naturally know about the annihilation of the demon clan in Northern Juluzhou.

Just not participating.

"It's almost finished. There are still some things to do, but the juniors are no longer needed."

Jiang Lin didn't explain it in too much detail, just gave a brief explanation.

Taoist Su Yi nodded, and then asked, "Little Daoist Brother Jiang, are you here to help us old men with the affairs of the Sutra Conference?"

This question seems a bit redundant, but Master Su Yi knows very well that unless there is some emergency, Jiang Lin would not have left the battlefield halfway.

Don't say anything like it's useless. As soon as you hear it, you can tell that Jiang Lin is being modest.

Jiang Lin thought for a moment, looked at the many Taoist priests who were looking at him curiously, and said softly: "Junior, I was thrown here by Marshal Tianpeng."

Upon hearing this, the Taoist masters were stunned at first, and then their minds raced.

No one present is stupid.

There are only two possibilities that could make Marshal Tianpeng throw Jiang Lin over directly.

Either Jiang Lin had committed some serious mistake on the battlefield, and Marshal Tianpeng personally expelled him to silence the public.

Or, there is something more important that Jiang Lin needs to do.

If you use your toes to guess, it's probably the latter.

So, what's going on here that's worthy of Marshal Tianpeng sending Jiang Lin over here directly?

There is only one answer.

Conference on Buddhist Scriptures.

Master Su Yi's mind flashed, and he looked at Jiang Lin and asked, "Based on your speculation, Daoist Xiao Jiang, is there any connection between the Sutra Conference and Northern Juluzhou?"

Although Master Su Yi has been dealing with riddles for many years, he is very skilled at dealing with them, after all, he has been through this before.

And Master Su Yi was also very sure that Jiang Lin might have some guesses, but he definitely didn't know what the specific connection was.

Now is the time to brainstorm.

Jiang Lin frowned and fell into deep thought.

His opinion is exactly the same as Su Yidao's.

There is definitely some connection between the Sutra Conference and the Battle of Uttarakuru.

Could this also be related to the Emperor's layout?

Jiang Lin thought of all the possibilities in his mind.

For things like this, first look at the nature of the matter and then make inferences, and it will basically be pretty close.

First of all, the origin of the Sutra Conference was that the Taoist Ancestor asked Liu Yunxiu to deliver a newly compiled Taoist scripture, but Liu Yunxiu "lost" the scripture, which led to the Sutra Conference.

There are two people involved in this. One is the eldest princess of the Heavenly Palace, the jewel in the crown of the Great Celestial Lord, and the other is Taiqing Daozu, who is known as the "Master of Tao".

This person's character is very high.

Looking at the battle of Uttarakuru again, it was simply an imperial decree issued jointly by the Great Heavenly Venerable and the Emperor of Purple Star, whose status was extremely high.

Looking at the timeline, when the Heavenly Court's Northern Expedition Army was just beginning to be formed, Jiang Lin went to the Tushita Palace and was taught the great supernatural power of reversing yin and yang. Then he had the experience of delivering scriptures with Liu Yunxiu.

The two events happened one after the other, and both had a great impact on the situation in the three realms.

If the Sutra Conference is a success, the reputation and fortune of Taoism will be further enhanced, which will greatly alleviate the pressure brought to Taoism by the successful journey of Buddhism to the West.

The battle of Uttarakuru was won, the demon clan was completely disintegrated, and the Heavenly Court was able to use this momentum to wipe out the weakness of the Great Celestial Venerable after his calamity, and use its strength and voice to once again declare the majesty of the Heavenly Court to the Three Realms.

As a result, the Buddhist sect will be further suppressed for what it does after the Great Heavenly Venerable turns the calamity around.

If Buddhism is taken as a central point, then the Sutra Conference and the Battle of Uttarakuru will bring considerable pressure to Buddhism.

Plus the current situation in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Northern Juluzhou...

The Buddhist sect intervened, Kunpeng appeared, and the Golden Crow began to revive, seizing the power of the great masters. The battle between the demon race and the heavenly court at the level of the great masters also officially began...

Everything that happened showed that the real turmoil in the Shiwandashan Mountains was about to unfold.

So, if the Sutra Conference and the Battle of Uttarakuru are related, it is indeed time to push it further.

But the question is, apart from the fact that both are detrimental to Buddhism, are there any common interests between the Sutra Conference and the Battle of Uttarakuru?

Jiang Lin thought about it secretly, but couldn't find any clue for a while.

His vision was still too narrow. Even with the intensive special training provided by Marshal Tianpeng, he still could not see clearly due to his own realm and status.

Jiang Lin didn't think any more and just spoke out his guess. "If that's the case..."

Taoist Su Yi pondered for a moment, and then said: "No matter what the reason is, just what you have said, Brother Xiao Jiang, is enough."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Lin and Master Su Yi looked at each other and smiled at each other, with a hint of "hehehe" in their smiles.

Yes, this reason alone is enough.

Why not do anything that may cause trouble to Buddhism?

Of course we have to do it! And we have to do it quickly, do it hard, and do it on a large scale!
With just a glance, the old Taoist fox and the little fox reached a consensus.

"Friend Hei Dao, what do you mean?"

After finalizing the common goal, Master Su Yi looked towards a corner of the Hall of Rescue.

There, there was a layer of frost, and there was no human figure within a radius of twenty feet. Only in the shadow of the corner, there was a slender shadow sitting cross-legged.

He was not someone else, but the keeper of the Black Law lineage of Magu Mountain in the human world. He was also the supervisor of all the Taoists who guarded the lineage in the human world.

A gangster who is always applying black laws.

Jiang Lin was a little dazed. From the moment he came in until now, he had subconsciously ignored the existence of this Taoist master from his hometown and had no impression of him at all.

But the frost covering an area of ​​twenty feet was so eye-catching...

This Taoist priest is not as simple as she appears, although her appearance is already surprising...

Jiang Lin thought silently in his heart.

Upon hearing this, the gangster also opened his eyes. There was no emotion in his dark pupils, and his voice was as indifferent as ever.

"good."

The gangster, who was very frugal with words, nodded slightly.

Yi Dao Master Su was obviously used to such exchanges, and he immediately stood up and said, "Fellow Daoists, don't be idle, contact your own lineages and speed up the progress. As usual, Longhushan Tianshi Mansion and Quanzhen Longmen Sect will take the lead, and other lineages will cooperate unconditionally."

"Give us the people and resources we need, and set up a sutra-studding conference that is on par with the Luotian Grand Ceremony as quickly as possible!"

Obviously, the preparations for the Sutra Conference have already begun. Those Taoist priests who are not in the Hall of Salvation have been there to prepare for it, but they are not as anxious as they are now.

In other words, the progress was slowed down deliberately because the new scriptures compiled by Daozu still had no where to go.

The longer you can delay, the greater your hope of finding the scriptures before the conference.

But now is obviously not the time to delay.

If we want to attend the conference in time for the battle with Uttarakuru, we must speed up the process.

At worst, I can perform the rituals first for 49 days, and then use this time to think about the problems in the scriptures.

It is reasonable for us, the incompetent disciples of Daoist Patriarch, to fast and pray for forty-nine days before reading the newly compiled scriptures.

In a nutshell, let’s get started!
"good."

All the Taoist masters responded one after another.

The conversation between Jiang Lin and Taoist Su Yi just now was not hidden from the Taoists present, and they all understood the current situation.

‘Poof! ’

At this moment, the door of the Hall of Salvation was kicked open.

Looking at the force with which the door was kicked open to the maximum and then bounced back, you can tell that the person who kicked the door used considerable force.

Faced with such a crude and even rude scene in the temple, the Taoist masters just watched quietly.

Because the person who kicked the door was Liu Yunxiu.

The girl's cheeks were flushed with excitement, and there was a look of anxiety and relief.

In his arms, his hands were tightly holding something, and if you looked closely you could see a corner of a book.

Seeing this, all the Taoists stood up, and even the gangsters slowly stood up.

"The scripture... was found!"

Liu Yunxiu took a deep breath and raised his hands high. In his hands, he held a not-too-thick booklet.

On an ordinary blue booklet, there was a line of words written in ordinary calligraphy.

The Taiqing Supreme Grade, the Immeasurable and Wonderful Sutra for Saving the Suffering and Rescuing the Difficulties!

It was the new scripture that Liu Yunxiu was ordered by the Taoist ancestor to deliver to Laojun Mountain!
Seeing this, all the Taoists looked at the scripture with burning eyes.

But no one moved.

Liu Yunxiu didn't know what to do next and looked at the Taoist masters in confusion.

For a moment, they all stared at each other.

"Yunxiu, where does the scripture come from?"

Jiang Lin was the first to break the silence and came to Liu Yunxiu's side, but he did not reach out to take the scripture. He just took a look at it at first like the other Taoists, and after confirming it, he didn't even dare to look at it again.

He has the same idea as all the Taoist masters.

Happiness came too suddenly. If some actions caused the scripture to be "lost" again in public, it would be a great sin.

Now this scripture is safest in Liu Yunxiu's hands.

"I do not know either……"

Liu Yunxiu shook her head in bewilderment and said, "I was just reciting the Tao Te Ching in the back hall, and just now, this scroll of scriptures appeared in my hand."

just?

Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look at Master Su Yi.

The Taoist priest also looked over.

Could it be that it was because the progress of the conference had been accelerated?

Jiang Lin and Su Yidao couldn't help but smile helplessly. If they had known it was so simple, they would not have dragged their feet. This is simply shooting themselves in the foot!
Daozu’s meaning is very simple.

The scripture was "lost" in order to lead to the scripture conference, and the scripture reappeared at this moment because his disciples finally realized that they had to get to work quickly.

Daozu, you don't play like this...

Jiang Lin grumbled helplessly in his heart, and at the same time, his expression became serious.

This also indirectly shows one thing, that the Taoist Patriarch is also paying attention to the Sutra Conference.

In other words, he was paying attention to the progress of the sutra conference to see whether it could keep up with the great battle in Uttarakuru!

What exactly is the connection between the two that has even reached the point where Daozu has to intervene indirectly?
Jiang Lin couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Master Su Yidao obviously also understood what was going on.

He immediately gave Jiang Lin a look.

However, before Jiang Lin could react, the gangster in the corner took action.

The supervisor of the Taoist lineage in the human world walked towards Liu Yunxiu step by step.

Those indifferent eyes without any emotion made Liu Yunxiu a little nervous.

Under the gaze of everyone, the gangster came in front of Liu Yunxiu, slowly raised his hand, and took the scripture from Liu Yunxiu.

Then, he turned around and walked towards the highest point of Laojun Mountain, where the Laojun Temple is located.

"The Daoist Scriptures. Before you enshrine the Daoist statue, follow me to pay homage to the Daoist and comprehend the new scriptures."

The gangster's cold and ethereal voice rang out in the Hall of Rescue.

The Taoist masters finally came to their senses and looked at each other, and saw the confusion and inquiry in the eyes of others.

It seems that this fellow Daoist Hei has some connection with the new scripture of Daozu?
The scene just now was not so much rash as it was involuntary...

But as everyone knows, this Taoist friend from Magu Mountain had lost his human emotions since the moment he became an immortal.

There was a gleam in Jiang Lin's eyes.

Sure enough, my initial hunch was correct.

The protagonist of the waves stirred up by the new scripture of Daozu is none other than this Taoist master of our own family!

Even think deeper.

It can be said that, as the center of the intersection of the Sutra Conference and the Northern Jambudvīpa War, in addition to the suppression of Buddhism, this Taoist also plays a vital role!
