Journey to the West: Interpretation and Teaching Disciples

Chapter 87

Tathagata subdued Sun Wukong and was about to take Ananda and Kasyapa back to the Western Pure Land.Suddenly there was a shout from behind.

When Tathagata heard the shout, he stopped and turned his head to look back, only to see You Yi Lingguan and Yisheng Zhenjun chasing out from the Lingxiao Palace.

The two walked up to the Tathagata and said with a smile, "Master Buddha has saved our Heavenly Court from this catastrophe. My lord is here to thank Master Buddha!"

Tathagata heard this and looked back, and sure enough, the Jade Emperor was coming here in a chariot.After a while, the Jade Emperor's chariot came in front of Tathagata.

The Jade Emperor looked at Tathagata, and said, "Thank you, Tathagata, for accepting the evil spirits, and returning the heavens to heaven.!" Even though he said this, Tathagata was shocked when he saw the indifference in Jade Emperor's eyes. I am afraid that this sentence offended the Jade Emperor!
Although I had several thoughts in my mind, Tathagata said, "The old monk obeyed His Majesty's will and came here to subdue the monster monkey. His Majesty and the gods Hongfu will naturally be auspicious. The old monk dare not take credit for it!"

The Jade Emperor's eyes became much calmer when he heard Tathagata's submissive words.Then the Jade Emperor issued a decree: to order the gods of Leibu to invite Sanqing, Siyu, Wulao, Liusi, Qiyuan, Baji, Jiuyao, Shidu, Qianzhen and Wanshen to come to the meeting separately, and also ordered the four heavenly masters, nine heavenly masters, etc. The fairy arranges a banquet.

After a while, Sanqing (clones), Siyu, Wulao, Liusi, Qiyuan, Baji, Jiuyao, Shidu, and other gods all came to the banquet, and even Zhang Xing was invited.Immediately, the entire Heavenly Court suddenly became extremely festive from the atmosphere of Monkey King making a fuss!
Just as the Heavenly Emperor was holding a banquet, a palace stood in an unnamed place outside the 33rd Heaven.

The three big characters "Jingyang Palace" are engraved on the plaque of the palace. It turns out that this is the place where Lao Tzu hides.Today is different from the past, there are two boys standing outside the Jingyang Palace where few people come, looking at their clothes, looks and attitudes, they seem to be waiting for someone.

If this scene is seen by other people in the Three Realms, they will definitely be shocked!As the saying goes: "Seven rank officials in front of the prime minister".But the masters of these two boys are not mortal prime ministers!After Hongjun joined the Dao, there are only six saints in the world!And the master of the two boys is the eldest brother among the six sages——Lao Tzu, so what kind of simple character is the person who can make Lao Tzu's boys wait so respectfully!It is a pity that this scene cannot be seen by people, because it is impossible for ordinary people to come here after 33 days.

Suddenly the faces of the two boys waiting outside the door brightened. Following the gazes of the two boys, they saw a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a serious face riding a deer that was not a deer, a horse that was not a horse, and a horse that was not a horse. A cow is not a cow, it is a donkey not a donkey. The mount flew towards Jingyang Palace.

When he got to the door, the middle-aged man got off his mount and two boys greeted him.

"Second Master, Master is already waiting in the palace. Please follow me!" As he spoke, a boy led the "Second Master" into the palace.

The middle-aged man entered a hall within a few steps, and there was already an old man sitting on it!
When the middle-aged man saw the old man sitting in the hall, he saluted and said, "Brother, what are you going to do about Buddhism this time?"

The old man in the hall seemed to be asleep, but his lips slowly opened: "Second brother, you are impatient! Isn't the third brother not here yet? Let's talk about it when he comes!"

Hearing the old man mention the third brother, the middle-aged man's expression was a little ugly.He opened his mouth and said, "Hmph! Does he know how to respect his elder brother? He hasn't come yet, so he doesn't want to come!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a lazy voice came from outside the palace: "Who said I won't come! Isn't it here?"

When the two people in the hall heard the voice, they all looked towards the gate of the palace, only to see a young man with a stern face and cold eyes walking in under the leadership of a boy.

Seeing this young man, the middle-aged man in the hall snorted coldly and turned his head away.The young man who had just walked into the hall also happened to see this scene, but the young man didn't say anything, but a faint sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this scene, the old man in the hall frowned, looked at the young man, then at the middle-aged man, finally sighed and said nothing!
After the three sat down according to their seniority, the old man looked at his two brothers.He coughed and said, "I think the two of you know about the plans of Buddhism, right? I wonder if you have any ideas to stop them!"

Just as the old man finished speaking, the middle-aged man frowned as if thinking of a way.And the sneer at the corner of the young man's mouth became even more obvious.

The middle-aged man, who was trying to find a way, accidentally looked up and saw the sneer on the corner of the young man's mouth, and immediately shouted, "Third brother, this time the Buddhist plan is very big. As one of the three ancestors of Taoism, why are you always laughing and joking? Have you already Is there a way?"

"Huh!" Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the young man sneered and said, "One of the three ancestors of Taoism? Why didn't you think that I was one of the three ancestors of Taoism, and how did you join forces with those two bald donkeys in the West? Deal with me? Now think of me when something happens, this is a trouble between the two of you, you can solve it yourself!"

"Tongtian! Are you really unwilling to deal with Buddhism? Are you really willing to see them grow stronger this time?" The middle-aged man's expression changed after hearing the young man's words, and finally he thought that this time he and his eldest brother had gone to war together. The cause and effect caused by this time did not show up in the end, but he just asked the young man.

It would be surprising if there were outsiders there!Because the young man just now turned out to be the leader of Tongtian Cult.And it was Yuanshi Tianzun, the leader of the teaching, who talked to him like this, and the one who was sitting in the seat was the elder brother of the two people, Laozi, the leader of Renjiao.

After Yuan Shi finished speaking, Tong Tian was not arguing with him, but closed his eyes as if his mind was wandering.

Lao Tzu, who was sitting on the first seat, could only sigh after seeing the situation of the two brothers. After all, this incident also had his own reasons, but thinking of the matter that Buddhism discussed with him last time, Lao Tzu's face darkened.

"Okay! Don't argue! What happened to Tongtian last time was indeed the two of us who were sorry for you. But now we still need to discuss what Buddhism is planning this time! If we let them do this, the status of our Taoism may be in danger in the future. Unsteady!" Lao Tzu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said to the two brothers.

After hearing Lao Tzu's words, Yuan Shi stopped talking, and Tong Tian stopped making troubles!Everyone is thinking about how to do this.But after thinking for a while, the two still didn't come up with any ideas.

Seeing that the two brothers thought for a while but couldn't come up with anything, Laozi expressed his thoughts.Listen to Lao Tzu's idea.The two brothers agreed very much.

"I've already arranged candidates for my side. I don't know if you have any suitable candidates?" Lao Tzu asked the two brothers after finishing his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian remembered who they had under their command who were suitable for this task.When Yuan Shi thought about it, he thought of a person.
