I have to say that Zhu Gangli’s question is a different approach and is so tricky that Zhang Daoling could not react for a while.

If Zhu Gangli still questioned him from some angles like he did just now, he would be easy to talk. He would just talk about two reasons and stir up the water. Judging from his past style, who would be determined to believe that he must have been a ill-gotten plot. But Zhu Gangli would be different when he plays like this.

It’s like judging you in court. The normal idea is to find evidence to prove that you are guilty. If the evidence is insufficient, of course, you cannot be effectively accused of it. But if you change your thinking, you will prove that you are innocent on the premise of determining that you are guilty. This is very blind.

Self-proving is difficult, and because Zhang Daoling himself has problems, it is of course even more difficult for him to prove himself. A little mistake or omission will probably be true. Even if the explanation is a little slower, it will inevitably lead to some suspicion.

It was very difficult. But it was not difficult for Zhang Daoling, the old fox. His mind was moving, and he had already thought about the words in his mind. Without hesitation, he said the words.

"The Taoist Sect is the hard work of my life. Seeing that the Taoist Sect is going to suffer from twists and turns today, as the Taoist Sect, I am in charge of the Taoist Sect, and I will make some responses early. Is there anything wrong with it?"

"Of course not." Zhang Daoling's words made many people nod and agreed with great recognition. But Zhu Gangli grinned and laughed, and said a completely different point of view. "Zhang Tianshi, you can deceive them but you can't deceive me. In my opinion, your statement is simply untenable."

"What? Do you think I won't do this with the old man?"

He was shocked and felt that Zhu Gangli had found something. Zhang Daoling deliberately frowned, looked impatient, and asked in a deep voice. In response to this kind of replies, Zhu Gangli nodded and said loudly.

"I, Lao Zhu, is a real person, and I don't know the things that are all round. For me, Lao Zhu, there is only one unbreakable truth in this world, that is, the world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit. No matter what you want to do, it is just a word of profit. In my Lao Zhu's opinion, if you do this, there is no benefit at all."

"That's because you're wrong. Taoist sect is in front of you. If you can't see it, you can only say that you are short-sighted and the pair of tricks under your eyebrows are white."

"Is that true? Do you mean these useless guys in front of you?"

He pointed at the Taoist people in the cave in this cave without any concern, and Zhu Gangli laughed out loud without caring about their emotions.

"Please be honest, it's not that I look down on these guys, but in my old pig's eyes, these guys are just a bunch of waste. Their interests are considered to be profitable in the Taoist sect, so don't joke with me. If they can be considered to be profitable in the Taoist sect, then how should the emperors of all parties handle themselves, such as the Twenty-Eight Heavenly Officials?"

This is a very realistic topic. Although many people were furious about his words and wanted to fight him immediately. But in fact, they knew in their hearts that although Zhu Gangli's words were unpleasant, they were a real truth.

They are the kind of incompetent people. If they have the ability, they will not be here to keep warm. They are looking forward to overthrowing the tyranny of the emperor like today so as to preserve their wealth today. Like those capable officials, they will strive for the greatest wealth for themselves in the future trend of the heavenly court. Isn’t this a better choice?

This is a fact in itself, and it is not that they will not be true if they do not admit it. After recognizing this, Zhu Gangli's suspicion will naturally have a foothold. For people like them, is it necessary for Zhang Daoling to take such risks? Once this suspicion is planted, let alone Zhu Gangli doesn't believe it, they themselves will have some doubts.

Although no one can speak out this kind of doubt openly, it is a very obvious thing for someone like Zhang Daoling. He could see the thoughts of these people at a glance, which made him anxious and began to think about countermeasures.

He had not had time to think about specific countermeasures, but in fact he didn't know how to calm these people's minds and make them believe in their own words. At this moment, Zhu Gangli said this unexpectedly.

"Of course, there may be some errors in my thoughts. Because big people like you always have thoughts that we little people can't imagine. You have lofty ambitions and you have far-sighted ideas. Who can say that these wastes in my eyes will not have any special value in your eyes? Maybe they do have some different meanings, but I just can't see them."

He would say such words, which really made everyone feel unexpected. No one could have imagined that he, who was still aggressive the moment before, actually spoke for Zhang Daoling at this time. Even Zhang Daoling himself was deeply confused and felt something was wrong all over his body.

"What do you mean? Are you planning to find an excuse to threaten me?"

"No, no, how dare I have such a mind to threaten you, a big man?" Haha, Zhu Gangli said as he touched his big belly.

"I'm just telling every possibility I know. After all, I don't dare to let people like you have any grievances, right? But although I don't know what you think, there will always be someone who will know. If you are really innocent, why not come and do a small test with us?"

"Test? What do you mean?"

Although he was reluctant, Zhang Daoling had to admit that he fell into Zhu Gangli's trap and began to be merciless. Even if he wanted to withdraw at this time, there was no possibility of him. So he could only breathe a sigh of relief and said to Zhu Gangli openly.

"It's very simple. We just need to wait for one person. Just wait for a moment, what is your mind in Tianshi? Whether your motive is clear will naturally be revealed. I think, in such a short moment, everyone can wait. After all, compared with the major plans we have planned, carefulness is the most important issue, right?"

"Who is the thing you're waiting for?"

Although he had an answer, Zhang Daoling still asked with hope of anything. Zhu Gangli only raised his eyebrows and then quickly burst into laughter.

"Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. Come, open the middle door. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva finally came to visit the last time, so I can't say that I was a pig who lost my etiquette."

As the saying goes, patience is as unmoved as the earth, and meditation is as deep as a secret treasure. Even in the Buddhist temple that is good at lies, this is a very remarkable comment. Among the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the sky, there is actually only one who can be called such a title, that is, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who is in hell and makes great wishes to become a Buddha without being empty in hell.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has a special identity in the entire Buddhist sect. Because he is a great Bodhisattva specially transformed by Sakyamuni when he passed away. His original intention is that all sentient beings are suffering and I have not been able to save them all. When all sentient beings are not liberated, you must take over my burden and save the world, so that people can escape the five turbidities and evil worlds and reach the Pure Land.

Of course, this is a beautification statement. The real statement is actually very simple, that is, to entrust the great cause of Buddhism to him, hoping that he can inherit his will and lead the Buddhism instead of him. However, just like the king of the past determined the inheritance of the throne and established the prince at the time of his death. Although this idea is beautiful, the possibility of realization is slim.

Because of such a large Buddhist sect, how could it be possible for you, a Bodhisattva who has just come to power to become a Buddha and become a ancestor? Moreover, a Buddha like Amitabha is still alive, and if you want to ascend to the position of Sakyamuni, you still have to ask for his opinions. In this case where the young master is newly established and surrounded by strong enemies, what will happen is simply a clear idea.

According to the experience of past dynasties, in general, there are only two possibilities for such a young master. One is to be controlled by someone as a puppet and then abandoned. The other is to let him evaporate directly from the world and completely follow the old master. This is the safest way and the most beneficial way for the current rulers. However, Ksitigarbha is not an ordinary person, and Amitabha is not an idiot.

The former is well aware of the way of perseverance. Seeing that he could not compete with a Buddha like Amitabha, he simply gave up the tradition passed down by Sakyamuni and made a great aspiration that was impossible to achieve without empty life in hell. Then he expressed his intention to fight for the throne of Buddhism and be assured as being the Bodhisattva.

Amitabha Buddha is not a narrow-minded master. He can see his talent and strategy from the fact that he can gradually grow stronger and far superior to the beginning. Such a person can see the ability and value of Ksitigarbha, and of course it is impossible for him to give up easily. Since it is more beneficial to the great cause of Buddhism, he will naturally choose this choice that is more beneficial to Buddhism.

In this way, there is a Bodhisattva in Buddhism who, like Guanyin, who cannot become a Buddha, has more strength and status than ordinary Buddhas. Such a Bodhisattva will also participate in their plans and participate in them personally. This is indeed something that no one has expected.

So, no matter who it is, they are all shocked.
