"What is the Tao? Heaven and earth are one yin and one yang; the mystic is also the Tao, and the sect is the root of all things. Therefore, although Xuanzong is vast, it is not the embodiment of heaven and earth, the embodiment of the Tao. ”

"Tianpeng, you are now a member of the Heavenly Court, and you are also serving in that Buddha Gate. This is a good thing, why do you have to divide it so clearly? He spent the world in the West Heaven Buddha Gate to save the suffering, isn't my Heavenly Court so enlightened?"

"But, Lao Jun, the precepts of the Western Heaven Buddhism are clear, and I must let go of all my hearts. But the matter of weak water is really difficult to give up. Bajie bowed his head and said.

"Hehe, it depends on how the canopy chooses. If you are biased towards my Heavenly Court, the matters of weak water are all according to what Your Majesty says, and you can relax, the gods of Heavenly Court will not make such remarks, and the poor way will vouch for you. If you are biased towards the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain, if you decide on this, it will be a matter of the Spirit Mountain. Lao Jun said with a smile.

"What does Lao Jun mean?" Hearing this, Bajie raised his head, suddenly had an epiphany, and hurriedly asked.

"Although you have taken refuge in Buddhism and become the messenger of the Pure Altar, your roots still belong to my heavenly court after all. On the west side, you can hang the name of the pure altar, and Gao Laozhuang is still the place of your dojo. But my Heavenly Court gives you the position of Tianpeng to guard the Tianhe Heavy Land, compared to your pure and inactive Gao Laozhuang, which one needs you more?" said Lao Jun meaningfully.

"Besides, in my Heavenly Court and Heavenly River, who of the Buddhas of the Western Heavens dares to peep at you? As for the Western Heavens, if you come to summon you, you will not take the initiative to meet you with your temper. If that's the case, can the Western Heaven Discipline still restrain you?"

Bajie suddenly became enlightened, Lao Jun's words, although the whole is around the liberation of the demons for himself, the actual connotation is still to ask his own position, weak water is his own weakness, the so-called demons, is nothing more than thinking about weak water caused his mood to be dusty, and he suspects that he has been tempered by Buddhism, and he has formed a demon in his heart. But if you really go to the Western Heaven to become a Buddha and abandon your mortal mind, will you still be yourself?

Bajie knows very well that he doesn't have the concentration of his master, how can he abandon this mortal heart? But even if the master is so pure and inactive, and he is a monk, in that daughter country, in the face of the king who looks like a fairy, didn't the master almost break the vows and get emotional?

Thinking of this, Bajie's heart suddenly brightened, Lao Jun and the Jade Emperor repeatedly gave in for their own convenience, if they were not interested, they were indeed a little unreasonable.

Looking at Bajie's thoughtful appearance, Lao Jun didn't bother. Lao Jun knew that Bajie was weighing the weight at this time, and when he made a move, that is, when the demons in his heart dissipated.

After a long time, Bajie stood up. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Mr. Lao. "Thank you for your advice. ”

Lao Jun shook his head, "Tianpeng doesn't need to be so polite, the poor road is just to make the stakes clear, everything depends on how Tianpeng chooses." What do you mean?"

"If there is no guidance from Lao Jun, I am afraid that my old pig will fall into a place of no return, and even the positive result of this hard-won cultivation will be shattered. Lao Jun's timely guidance is that I am reining in the precipice, and I deserve to be worshipped!"

After speaking, Bajie knelt on the ground and thanked Lao Jun.

Lao Jun accepted it calmly, and after Bajie got up, he said, "Since Tianpeng has already understood, then let's go, and the road of forgiveness is not far away." ”

Before Bajie left, he bowed to Lao Jun and thanked him, and then retreated silently and walked out of the Tushi Palace.

Outside the Tushi Palace, Bajie looked at the robe on his body and sneered. Rip it off!

My old pig protects the West Heaven to learn scriptures, there is no merit and hard work, and you Xitian wants to transform my old pig to serve your Buddhism after being crowned Buddha! My old pig is the generalissimo of the Tianhe Water Army Tianpeng, how can you be at the mercy of your Buddhism, in this case, this robe is not worn!

In the thirty-six layers of the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor saw the movements of Bajie through a mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

If you want to transform the people of my heavenly court, you are really calculating, I want to see, when the truth of the scriptures is completely exposed, what majesty can you talk about in the West Heaven Buddhism!

At the foot of West Tianling Mountain, Xuanzang arrived here in the clouds. In order to show his respect, Xuanzang fell from the clouds and began to climb the mountain.

In the Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple, if you come and sit opposite to the lamp. All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were dismissed by Rulai, not long ago Guanyin's questioning words, shocked the entire Lingshan, Rulai expelled Guanyin from Lingshan in a fit of anger, and issued a decree to order it to return to the South China Sea to think, if there is no summons, not to enter Lingshan again.

And the lantern came from the retreat to this Great Lei Yin Temple, and it was for this reason that he came.

"I heard that Guanyin Lux came to Lingshan a few days ago to have objections to the matter of learning scriptures, you made her think about it in the South China Sea, and she can't enter Lingshan again without a summons, but is there such a thing?" asked Gujing Wubo.

Rulai clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, there is indeed such a thing, and it has disturbed the ancient Buddha's cultivation." ”

"It doesn't matter, after all, this matter has been approved by this seat, and this seat is concerned about any changes in the matter of learning scriptures. It's not to talk about disturbance, it's just that if you act like this and make a big move, it will inevitably make the Buddhas of Lingshan have different thoughts. "Lighting the lampway.

"Learning from the scriptures, after all, Guanyin Lux participated in it back then. Now she disagrees. This Buddha understands, but she really shouldn't question me about the teachings of Buddhism, question me about the belonging of Buddhism!"

When the scriptures were learned, the eight Bodhisattvas knew that Guanyin Bodhisattva was opposed to this, but the golden cicada tried his best to express his willingness to sacrifice himself to benefit thousands of Buddhas. And if he privately expressed his stance to Guanyin back then, he would seek his mana to protect the Buddhas of Buddhism, and Guanyin would give up.

So later, the golden cicada was sent to the lower realm for violating the precepts of Buddhism, in fact, the so-called violation of the precepts is just an excuse for the reincarnation of the golden cicada in the lower realm. Now that the golden cicada is reincarnated, the matter of learning the scriptures is finally completed, and Guanyin Bodhisattva once again opposes the practice of Rulai, and does not hesitate to ask the teachings of Buddhism in this Lingshan Holy Ground, how can Rulai not be angry?

"In the past, you proposed reincarnation cause and effect, and wanted to continue the future of my Buddhism, and your disciple Jin Chanzi did not hesitate to sacrifice his own fruit position to promote this matter, which can be described as righteousness! For tens of thousands of years, you and this seat have been looking for a way to continue the immortality of the Buddhas of my Buddhism but have not been able to, and now it seems that you can only use that reincarnation cause and effect according to what you say" Ran Deng looked at Ru and said.

"As for Guanyin Lux, this seat will advise again, don't ruin my Buddha's future for the sake of a momentary dispute!"

"Amitabha. "If you come to recite the Buddha's name lightly, "This Buddhist has no way, and now he has to bother the ancient Buddha to come forward, and the little monk asks the big monk to punish him!"

Randen waved his hand, "You are now the Lord of the West Heaven, and this seat is just an old monk, how can you talk about punishment? After all, the future of this Buddhism will be handed over to you and others, the old monk is old, and it is not far from the day of sitting. Don't let my Buddhism dissipate!"

If you come to salute with your hands together, "The little monk obeys the teachings of the big monk!"

At this time, Xuanzang had already arrived outside the Da Lei Yin Temple. Xuanzang straightened the robe on his body, gently flicked away the dust contaminated by the hurry, held the Nine Dragons tin staff, and said respectfully, "Disciple Zhan Zen Merit Buddha asks to see my Buddha Rulai!"

Hearing Xuanzang's request to see him, Ru glanced at Randen and asked for his opinion, Randen nodded and did not speak.

With a wave of his robe, the door of the Da Lei Yin Temple creaked and slowly opened, and Xuanzang stepped into the Da Lei Yin Temple, saw Rulai and the lamp, and bowed down.

"Disciple Zhan Zen Merit Buddha Xuanzang to meet my Buddha Rulai, meet the ancient Buddha of the lamp!"

"The Buddha of Merit does not need to be polite, the Buddha of Merit is not preaching in the Eastern Land, but he came to my spiritual mountain to meet the Buddha, what is the matter?"

"Amitabha, the disciple is here this time for the disciple's disciple's business. ”

"Oh, did they defeat the Buddhas? What are the things? Tell me about it, listen to it. Ran Deng said suddenly.

"The disciple came here this time in the hope that my Buddha would be able to admit the matter of Heavenly Court's enthronement of my four disciples, and not dwell on this matter, which would lead to the breakdown of the relationship between my Buddha and Heavenly Court and cause trouble. Xuanzang said sincerely.

"Hmph. Rulai snorted lightly, "Because of the matter of the edict, Taishang Laojun has made a big fuss about my Lingshan Holy Land, and the ancient Buddha went to ask for the Dharma, but the old heavenly court has a tough attitude and refuses to take back his fate." Fighting to defeat the Buddha, they are already people of my Buddhism, and the heavenly court acts like this, can I really be deceived by my Buddhism?"

"Amitabha, the Heavenly Court Edict is based on the original principle that it is the official who has made meritorious contributions to the scriptures. There is no intention of dealing with my Buddhism, and the matter of the edict is to praise the great merit of learning scriptures, but my Buddha misunderstood the meaning and questioned the Jade Emperor, so that Lao Jun traveled 30,000 miles west and made trouble for my spiritual mountain!"

"Oh, listening to the words of the Buddha of Merit, this is what the Buddha did wrong?" asked Rulai indifferently.

The disciple had no intention of doing so. Xuanzang shook his head, "The disciple is just talking about things, whether it is the West Heaven or the Heavenly Court, there are rights and wrongs in this matter, and the disciple does not dare to speak falsely." The disciple came to settle the matter this time, and had no other intention. ”

"What do you mean by that?" asked Randen.

"The disciple has already gone to Heaven to admonish the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor has promised that as long as my Buddha can admit that Heaven has sealed the four of my disciples, and that the Jade Emperor is the co-master of the Three Realms. The Heavenly Court side will not start a war easily!"

"Why, listening to the meaning of the Buddha of Merit, the Heavenly Court wants to start a war against my Western Heaven, but it can't be? If that's the case, then what if my Western Heavenly Buddha Sect starts a war with his Heavenly Court? Do you really think that my Buddha Gate has no one?" Rulai said angrily.

"Amitabha, the disciple came here for reconciliation and has no other intentions. My Buddhism has always been pure cultivation, saving the suffering in the world, and has no intention of participating in the struggle for power in the world. Besides, the Heavenly Court has been established for a long time, and the matter of the co-master of the Three Realms is known to all the heavens and all the worlds, how can my Buddha ignore the general trend of the world, ignore all living beings in the world, and ignore the original intention of my Buddha for the sake of a momentary battle of will?" Xuanzang admonished.

"Listening to the words of the Buddha of merit, I am accusing this Buddha of deviating from the teachings of Buddhism and the general trend of the world. Good, good, good. "If you say three good words in a row.

"Xuanzang, you are really so bold, do you really think that if you obtain the true scriptures, you can question whether this Buddha is or not?" said Rulai angrily.

Xuanzang was dressed in a brocade robe, holding a nine-dragon tin staff, and his face was calm in the face of the angry Rulai.

"The disciple is just turning the wheel of the general trend of the world, not against my Buddha, let alone questioning the majesty of my Buddha. The Jade Emperor on the other side of the Heavenly Court has regressed, as long as my Buddha recognizes the Heavenly Court's edict and recognizes the Jade Emperor's three realms co-master. The relationship between our Buddhism and the Heavenly Court can be relaxed, but why can't our Buddhism make concessions for the sake of these sentient beings? If the two sides are at war, it is the people of the world who will suffer. ”

"My original intention of Buddhism was to sacrifice myself for others and save the world from suffering. My Buddha is compassionate, and there is a proverb in Buddhism, 'If I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell.'" Now that my Buddha has caused the souls of the lower realm to be ruined because of his momentary will, what is the meaning of my Buddha's life? What is the meaning of relieving suffering? The disciple implores my Buddha to take a step back for the sake of these sentient beings, so that my Western Heavenly Spirit Mountain and Heavenly Court can live in harmony. ”

After speaking, Xuanzang knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"That's it, the Buddha of Merit has said so much, and this seat has already made it clear, the heavenly court has made concessions, how can my Buddhism be a person who is narrowly measured? It is not a bad thing to admit the matter of the edict, at least the people of my Buddhism can serve in the heavenly court, and the relationship between the two sides can be harmonious. The matter of the co-master of heaven and earth, the meritorious Buddha is right, all the heavens and all the worlds know that it is the Jade Emperor, if my Buddhism does not admit it, wouldn't it make the heavens and all the worlds laugh shamefully?"

Hearing the words of the lamp, Rulai suddenly realized in his heart. looked at Xuanzang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Well, what the Buddha of Merit said is not unreasonable, and the ancient Buddha has also spoken about the situation." If this Buddha insists on it because of a momentary will, he will become a sinner of my Buddhism. Just act according to what the Buddha of Merit says. ”

"Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful!" Xuanzang thanked.

On this day, two decrees came out from the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain one after another, one of which was that the Buddha Gate recognized the matter of the Heavenly Court's enthronement, and the four people who fought to defeat the Buddha were both the people of the Buddha Gate and the ministers of the Heavenly Court;

With the release of these two decrees, the original tense situation seems to have eased. However, the real chaos has just begun!
