Chen Nan listened quietly to Yama's views on Buddhism.
Undeniably.
Yama's words coincided with his own views on Buddhism.
In his opinion.
Buddhism and Taoism still had significant conflicts.
Of course.
It was also possible that his cultivation was too low.
Unable to comprehend Buddhist tenets.
Yama said indignantly, "The purpose of Buddhism is wisdom and compassion."
"But what they truly want to express is transcendence."
"To make people transcend the cycle of reincarnation."
"The starting point seems good."
"But..."
"How many people can truly transcend the world and escape the cycle of reincarnation?"
Chen Nan smiled.
The Three Realms had billions of races.
Countless beings.
But only a handful could truly transcend the world and escape the cycle of reincarnation.
Yama sighed, "Ten thousand years ago, the God Realm was in chaos."
"The gods of the God Realm perished one after another."
"But what about the Western Pure Land?"
"It remained a pure land."
"A pure land without smoke and fire."
"If Buddhism could truly save all the darkness and evil in the world."
"Why didn't it end that slaughter?"
"If they truly cared about all living beings."
"Why didn't they send people to stop that slaughter?"
"Because they knew their own limitations."
"Of course."
"It can also be understood as they did not want to get involved in karma."
"They speak of benevolence and righteousness, and compassion."
"But it's just a way to fool people and gain more faith."
Chen Nan: "Using goodness as bait is the greatest evil in the world!"
As soon as he said this.
Yama shivered.
He felt as if his mind had been enlightened.
He looked at Chen Nan in disbelief.
He never expected.
That Chen Nan could summarize the actions of Buddhism in just one sentence.
He stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Nan, "Your words are like pearls, enlightening and deafening. This junior is truly convinced!"
If his previous respect for Chen Nan stemmed from his strength.
And the Animal Realm.
Then his current reverence was from the bottom of his heart.
He could feel.
Chen Nan's perspective was far beyond his own.
Listen!
Using goodness as bait is the greatest evil in the world!
This sentence was too profound.
It made him wholeheartedly convinced.
He had already decided.
To write these words down when he returned and have them framed.
However.
One point still filled him with confusion.
Chen Nan's understanding of good and evil surpassed the imagination of ordinary people.
Even he could not catch up.
But why did he say before that there was no distinction between good and evil in the world?
He really wanted to ask for his guidance in person.
But...
Would he think I am too pathetic?
After all, he already knew I was Yama.
If I ask such a question, he will definitely look down on me.
At this moment.
Chen Nan's voice rang out, "Go back and collect the medicinal ingredients first."
"Collect them and send them to me."
"I will help you refine pills to restore your cultivation."
Yama quickly said, "Yes! Then this junior will take his leave!" He then disappeared into the icy snow.
Chen Nan remained seated on the ground.
Letting the heavy snow fall on him.
In an instant, he stood between heaven and earth like a snow sculpture.
He was pondering Yama's previous words.
"If Buddhism took root in the underworld because of the Imperial Tutor."
"Then the Great Emperor Fengdu wanted to use me to get rid of him."
"He wants to clear Buddhism's influence in the underworld."
"But he cannot say this."
"Nor can he do it."
"Therefore, someone must understand his true intentions."
"This plan must be accomplished through others."
"No matter who this person is."
"As long as it does not affect the image of the Great Emperor Fengdu in the hearts of the people."
After understanding the cause and effect of the matter.
Chen Nan's heart was clear and calm.
Isn't it just about eliminating the Imperial Tutor?
Although it was difficult.
Chen Nan loved challenging things the most.
Only then could his intelligence be demonstrated.
------
Imperial Tutor's Mansion.
The butler excitedly ran to Zheng Yu and said, "Master, our people just sent news that Yama has returned to Fengdu City."
Zheng Yu's eyes lit up, "Yama is back, does that mean Chen Nan is dead?"
The butler smiled, "Yama is the strongest in the underworld. With his personal intervention, how could Chen Nan possibly survive?"
"However, there's one thing you might not believe, Master."
"Yama is injured."
Zheng Yu's pupils trembled.
His eyes flashed with disbelief, "A strong person like Yama could actually be injured?"
"Could it be that Chen Nan injured him?"
As the supreme Imperial Tutor of the underworld.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been so amazed by something.
The butler said, "Yama left Fengdu City for Chen Nan. Now he's back with a bruised face. Besides Chen Nan, it should be no one else."
"Incredible!" Zheng Yu kept exclaiming, "I really didn't expect this brat to be so powerful. It's fortunate that I was cautious and didn't rashly send any Zheng family disciples to kill Chen Nan."
"Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
He felt a surge of fear.
If he had sent his own kin to kill Chen Nan.
He didn't need to think to know.
His people would have already been killed by Chen Nan.
Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Zheng Yu's eyes, "Have the second son take some people out. Search along the way for Chen Nan's corpse."
"No matter what, we must find Chen Nan's corpse."
"And then dismember him!"
"Yes!" The butler respectfully withdrew.
Five minutes later.
Zheng Yu's second son, Zheng Chongyong, controlled a flying artifact.
Carrying four young disciples of the Zheng family, he took to the sky and flew south.
Regarding traveling in the icy snow.
The four young disciples were all unhappy.
But they did not dare to disobey the master's orders.
Zheng Chongyong saw this and smiled, comforting them, "Our mission is very easy, just to find a corpse, there is no danger."
"Don't be dejected, you little ones, just take it as an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of winter!"
"Don't worry, once we find that corpse."
"The master will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Hearing this.
A hint of ease appeared on the faces of the four young men.
Although they were all descendants of the Zheng family.
The Zheng family was strictly hierarchical.
Even as descendants, they could not casually enjoy some cultivation resources.
If this mission was as simple as Zheng Chongyong said.
Then it would not be a bad thing.
"It's this person!"
Zheng Chongyong took out a portrait of Chen Nan, "As long as we find the man in the portrait, we can consider our mission accomplished."
"I guarantee each of you will receive more than ten Body Seizing Pills then."
The four of them memorized Chen Nan's portrait.
Then a young man couldn't help but ask, "Second Uncle, what crime did this person commit? Even if he truly committed a crime, it should be judged by our Zheng family. Why did he die at the hands of others?"
Another said angrily, "Yes, who is so bold as to dare to kill a sinner who offended our Zheng family? Does he still have our Zheng family in his eyes?"
"Hush!"
Zheng Chongyong quickly made a gesture for silence.
Although it was snowing heavily outside and the wind was like a knife, fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
If these words were heard by Yama.
The Zheng family would be punished!
Just then.
A young man stared below and suddenly said, "Second Uncle, look, isn't the person below the man in the portrait?"
"He is clearly still alive, why did you say he is dead?"
"What? Zheng Chongyong exclaimed, and immediately looked at the figure on the ground to the south.
Upon seeing that it was Chen Nan, he felt his scalp tingle and his mind was struck by lightning.
Didn't Chen Nan die?
Why was he still alive?
