I am the Bull Demon King, the most powerful official in the heaven

Chapter 342 The pattern after a hundred years
"Although there is a reason for this incident, it is really because of the old monk's poor discipline that allowed the green lion and white elephant to leave Lingshan to cause trouble."

After entering the cave, a banquet was prepared by the mountain god.

When Tathagata Buddha was invited to sit down, he did not care about his status as a Buddha, but went straight to apologize to Jiang Shan.

"Buddha, please be polite. I am also wrong in this matter. I should not be stubborn. As the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. The power of magic can only be strong for a moment, but morality and etiquette are long-lasting. Just like Buddha, who has great supernatural powers and still convinces people with reason. , you are a model for our generation to learn from." Jiang Shan also complimented with a smile.

He is not afraid of Tathagata, after all Tathagata is afraid of him.

But he still can't beat Tathagata, so he should be given no less respect.

Since Tathagata has come in person, Manjushri Samantabhadra will not die.

However, Jiang Shan's first goal can be regarded as achieved. The green lion, white elephant and Dapeng died. The death of the Lion and Camel King was over, and Jiang Shan was relieved of a big problem in his heart.

"The great sage is polite. The great sage has such magical powers at a young age. His future achievements will be limitless, and will be even higher than those of the old monk. Then the old monk may need the help of the great sage." Tathagata Buddha said with a smile.

I came to Xiniuhezhou, firstly to fish for people, and secondly to save Dapeng.

But now that people have fished it out and Dapeng is dead, Tathagata Buddha will not waste extra emotions on the dead Dapeng, although this Dapeng can be said to be his uncle.

But as a monk, you are at home everywhere and have no relatives.

Besides, they weren't even close in the first place.

So Tathagata Buddha chose to take advantage of this opportunity to draw closer to Jiang Shan.

Not to mention how valuable Jiang Shan is, Jiang Shan is probably a member of the Bodhisattva sect, which is enough to make him interested.

Among Xiniu Hezhou, there were only two people that he really feared, one was the Ran Deng Buddha and the other was the Bodhi Patriarch.

As his cultivation progressed further, only Patriarch Bodhi remained.

"I can't take it seriously. There are many places I want to learn from Buddha, especially Xiniu Hezhou. Shituoling governs the mountains and is responsible for spirits. Mahayana Buddhism saves all living beings and complements each other. We should live in harmony and should not conflict." Jiang Shan said.

"The Great Sage said so." Tathagata Buddha smiled upon hearing this.

Two people, one didn't want to make enemies, the other wanted to make friends, and with Zhengfa Ming's mediation, for a while, they were in harmony, so disharmonious, they seemed like good friends for many years.

Later, Jiang Shan paid homage to Manjusri, saying that he had acted inappropriately and wanted to ask Manjusri for forgiveness. Manjusri was angry and frightened, but he did not dare to go against Tathagata Buddha's wishes, so he immediately blamed himself and talked about his fault.

Smiling away grudges again.

"It's like this, just let it go. Shituoling and Mahayana Buddhism should have harmonious coexistence. This is what I taught the Venerable Maitreya when Emperor Dongyue accepted his disciples. Today, Manjusri and Samantabhadra are exceeding the rites. The sage's punishment is also for their future practice." Tathagata Buddha said with a smile.

"I dare not say that the two Bodhisattvas have great supernatural powers and profound Taoist practices, and their future achievements will definitely be higher than mine. This time they were just fighting unkindly, so they were defeated by me." Jiang Shan said with a smile.

"The Great Sage is humble. Although Manjushri and Samantabhadra are extraordinary, they are still a little behind compared to the Great Sage. Due to today's reasons, and presumably because of the lack of perfect cultivation, I may need to ask the Great Sage for help in this matter." Tathagata Buddha said.

"No matter what the Buddha says, he will do his best and never refuse." Jiang Shan said with a smile on his lips, thinking secretly in his heart, what is the old monk thinking?

"Taoism talks about purity, but as a Buddhist, I have to enter the world of mortals, and my practice requires several reincarnations. Now that reincarnation is controlled by Dongyue, I still need the help of the great sage." Tathagata Buddha said.

"Buddha is also familiar with Emperor Dongyue. This matter is not serious, so why should I be here?" Jiang Shan asked doubtfully.

"The Great Sage was trapped in Guixu and has not come out for many years. He is not familiar with some of the current situations in the Three Realms. More than 50 years ago, Emperor Qingxu's injury improved. He took charge of the three mountains and five mountains as the Earth Official Emperor and cooperated with Emperor Fengdu. "Considering reincarnation, Emperor Dongyue has not appeared in front of people for some reason," Tathagata Buddha said.

"Emperor Dongyue hasn't come out for a long time?" Jiang Shan raised his eyebrows when he heard this and glanced at the Lion and Camel King.

Could it be that he went to the abyss in person after seeing that he hadn't returned for a long time?
In this way, it can explain why the blue lion and white elephant Dapeng appeared at this time.

This group of Buddhists say that the four elements are all in vain, but they have many calculations in their hearts.This time it was obviously calculated.

But unlike the original trajectory, the Lion and Camel King had no backing, but the current Lion and Camel King has a backing. It would be unwise to provoke Emperor Dongyue before Theravada Buddhism was destroyed.

According to the wisdom of Mahayana Buddhism, this should not be the case.

Jiang Shan was originally confused, but now he can explain.

Emperor Dongyue has a problem.

In other words, there is a problem with the Houtu system.

Therefore, on the one hand, in order to prevent Emperor Qingxu, a subordinate of the Beidou family, an ally of the Randen Buddha, from entering Xiniuhezhou, and on the other hand, to enhance his own authority, the Lion and Camel King appeared among the goals of Buddhism.

If he had not appeared and Yang Jian had not arrived unexpectedly, the strength of Shituoling would not have been enough to fight against the three demons.

At this time, Mahayana Buddhism showed up to lend a helping hand, and the favor was restored.

If something really happened to Emperor Dongyue, Buddhism would directly take the Lion and Camel King under its sect.

Really dark heart.

But if this news is true, Emperor Dongyue's trip to Huangyuan will be in vain, so he won't be injured again.

The Lion and Camel King nodded slightly, indicating that what Tathagata Buddha said was true.

"Yes, it has not appeared for a long time, and the reason why is unknown, but now the power of the Diguan Emperor and the Fengdu Emperor is getting stronger and stronger, and the old monk's little power of the Western Underworld is getting smaller and smaller in the underworld. "Tathagata Buddha said with a smile.

"The relationship between the Western Yin Division is very important, how can it be controlled by Xiao Xiao? I will try my best to protect it." Hearing this, Jiang Shan immediately promised.

The Western Yin Division was owned by his good nephew Ksitigarbha, so it naturally had to be maintained.

In addition, did Tathagata Buddha tell me these things specifically to make him cause trouble for Emperor Qingxu and Emperor Fengdu?
As expected, the old monk is neither poisonous nor bald, but has a dark heart.

"With the help of the great sage, everything will be easy." Tathagata Buddha immediately smiled when he heard this, said no more, and just enjoyed the food.

To host a banquet for a powerful person of Tathagata's level, Jiangshan's banquet was certainly not bad.

The Tathagata Buddha is not like the secular monks who have such scruples. In Journey to the West, when the peach festival is held, there is no shortage of wine, let alone meat.

However, even mortal monks are actually allowed to eat meat. There are three kinds of pure meat and five kinds of pure meat.

But after it spread to China, it developed too quickly, and the emperors noticed that the religious groups in the temples were too large. It would be great if they could get married, have children, and eat wine and meat.

Therefore, Buddhas were exterminated on a large scale, and then all became vegetarians.

But now, they haven't been able to pass it on yet.

So it is not strict, although even if it is very strict, Tathagata Buddha will still not be affected.

Jiang Shan also responded with a smile. This was Jiang Shan's first time communicating with Tathagata Buddha, the future ruler of the world.

At the dinner table, they were chatting and laughing, but Jiang Shan felt that this monk was particularly difficult to deal with.

After a long time, Tathagata Buddha left with the two Bodhisattvas Manjusri and Samantabhadra. Before leaving, he intentionally invited Zhengfa Ming to talk about the past, but Zhengfa Ming refused to talk about old times with Jiangshan. Leave.
