Chapter 33: Heavenly Court Talks

After Randen left in the South China Sea, he did not return directly to the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain, but went to the Doushi Palace of the thirty-third layer of the Heavenly Court.

However, the lamp was told by the boy in the palace that Lao Jun went to Jade Lingtian to meet the Jade Emperor, and the lamp said that it was okay, since Lao Jun was not in the palace, then he would go to Jade Lingtian, just to meet the Jade Emperor,

In the Jade Spirit Heaven, the Jade Emperor was teasing a canary, and Lao Jun was sitting down. The Jade Emperor put down the small bowl in his hand, clapped his hands, and said, "So, is Burning the lamp planning to go his own way?"

"The old minister has made everything clear and lit the lamp, but he still maintains it everywhere, and I persuaded him with good words but he was unmoved. I am afraid that this matter will not be handled properly. Lao Jun played.

The Jade Emperor waved his sleeves, sat down, and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, wouldn't this give my Heavenly Court a reason to start a war against him in the Western Heavens?"

"Is Your Majesty really going to war with him in the Western Heavens?" asked Lao Jun.

"What? Lao Jun is against this?" The Jade Emperor was a little displeased, before, Lao Jun did not have a clear statement on this matter, but he was suppressing Xitian everywhere between things, and now he was sure to start a war with Xitian, but Lao Jun had a negative attitude, which really made the Jade Emperor a little displeased.

"The old minister is not against His Majesty's decision. Lao Jun explained, "It's just that if the two realms of immortals and Buddhas go to war, what reason will my Heavenly Court use to exonerate the war crimes?"

"This old gentleman doesn't need to worry, the matter of learning scriptures from the West Heaven has seriously affected my Heavenly Court's belief in the human world, if I continue to let the West Heaven continue like this, then what will I do with the gods of the Heavenly Court?

"This matter is related to the peace of the Three Realms, and the old minister implores Your Majesty to think twice!" Lao Jun got up, bowed and saluted, imploring His Majesty to reconsider this matter. :

"Old Jun, I am for the sake of the gods of my Heavenly Court, and now I have deviated from the agreement between the West Heaven and my Heavenly Court, if my Heavenly Court continues to let it go, wouldn't I want me to give up the co-lord of the Three Realms to Rulai?" said the Jade Emperor angrily.

Xuanzang is now preaching to the four continents, and the four continents have begun to build temples for the West Heaven Rulai, which has seriously affected the belief of the gods of the heavenly court in the lower realm. Now that Buddhism's reputation in the human world is getting higher and higher, how can the Jade Emperor feel at ease?

"Report - Your Majesty, the ancient Buddha of the West Heaven is burning the lamp and asks to see you!" At this time, the herald walked in and knelt on the ground and played.

"Xuan!" the Jade Emperor waved his hand, and the lantern actually came to the Jade Spirit Heaven at this time, which was beyond the expectations of the Jade Emperor. But people are already waiting outside the palace, and if they don't see it, it will inevitably look stingy.

Lighting the lamp and stepping into the Jade Emperor's bedroom, seeing Taishang Laojun, he nodded lightly, and then folded his hands and saluted the Jade Emperor, "Amitabha, the poor monk is polite." ”

"I don't know what is the important matter for the Buddha to come to my dormitory today?" Now the relationship between Buddhism and Heaven is becoming more and more stiff because of the Yaochi banquet, but the etiquette that should be there is indispensable.

"I want to see Lao Jun today, and the boy of Tushi Palace told Lao Jun that he was in the bedroom of His Majesty the Jade Emperor, and he came here to ask for a meeting. "The lantern is very low, so that the Jade Emperor and Lao Jun can't find fault at all.

"I see, but I neglected this matter, I knew that the ancient Buddha was coming, I should have moved to the Lingxiao Palace, and now it is rude for the ancient Buddha to see me like this. "The Jade Emperor's attitude has also eased, after all, if the court and Xitian have not really torn their faces today, if they do too much, it will inevitably make Xitian look down.

"What Your Majesty and Lao Jun said just now, the poor monk accidentally heard a few words, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!"

"Oh?" the Jade Emperor raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that what I said is false?

"No, no, no, the poor monk came, not to lead a war, but to try to avoid war, if the Immortal Buddha starts a war, no matter who wins in the end, it will be a disaster!" Randen shook his head lightly, indicating that he did not come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and he insisted on biting the Jade Emperor to start a war.

"Your Majesty, after all, the ancient Buddha is a visitor, even if Your Majesty is dissatisfied in his heart, the etiquette cannot be less. Lao Jun reminded at this time.

"Lao Jun's words are reasonable, but I was negligent for a while, come here, give the Buddha a seat!" The Jade Emperor heard what Lao Jun meant in his words, even if the relationship between the two sides is not good now, but the due etiquette should not be lost.

Randen bent down and thanked the Jade Emperor for giving him a seat, then sat down and said, "The poor monk knows that the matter of learning the scriptures has now made the relationship between my Xitian and the heavenly court very stiff, but the poor monk came today to discuss with Lao Jun It is also the matter of learning the scriptures. ”

"Taking scriptures is a matter that my Western Heaven Buddhism has finalized for the future of the Buddhas, and the matter of passing on the scriptures was also mentioned when the poor monks came to lobby His Majesty. It's just that now, the matter of learning scriptures will affect the foundation of Heavenly Court's faith, but the poor monk miscalculated, and here, the poor monk has made amends to His Majesty!"

After saying that, Randen stood up, folded his hands, and bowed respectfully to apologize.

The Jade Emperor originally wanted to take a shelf, but when he saw Lao Jun giving him a look, he had to give up. raised his hand and said, "Why does the ancient Buddha need to be like this, this matter is also angry for a while, and I said some angry words." In the previous Yaochi banquet, I also did something wrong, and I hope Gu Fo Mo will mind. ”

After lighting the lamp and saluting, he got up and sat down again, and then said, "Now the matter of learning scriptures has been beyond the grasp of the poor monks, and I hope that Your Majesty can understand, although this seat is a saint, but my Buddhism Holy Plant died back then, which had a great impact on the poor monks, and now I have my Buddhism Twenty-eight Heavens have their own thoughts, and I hope Your Majesty will not easily start a war with my West Heaven." ”

The Jade Emperor and Lao Jun glanced at each other, and then proposed, "The meaning of the ancient Buddha's words is to tell me that there is a problem in your Buddhism now?"

Randen nodded, "Exactly, my Buddhist teachings are pure and inactive, and purify all sentient beings." There is no desire for worldly power. Coming here today, the poor monk just wants to tell His Majesty that I have no idea about the co-master of the Three Realms in Xitianling Mountain, and His Majesty is still the co-master of the Three Realms, and this matter will not change, and no one in my Buddhist sect will have his thoughts!"

"So much for the best. The Jade Emperor nodded with satisfaction, "But when it comes to learning from the scriptures and preaching, I do still have a knot in my heart." Now that most of the four major gods in the human world believe in Buddhism, what explanation should the ancient Buddha give me for this matter?"

"There is no other way for poor monks to preach, Your Majesty should know that when it comes to faith, whether it is Heaven or Buddhism, there is no way to interfere. But the poor monk still said that my Buddhism is just for the sake of purifying sentient beings, and I will not have other intentions. Randen explained.

"Well, that's not going to be discussed for now. What is the important matter of the ancient Buddha looking for Lao Jun today?" The Jade Emperor directly avoided this topic and asked about the other meaning of the lamp.

"Amitabha, the poor monk has not much time, and he came to Lao Jun to convey the attitude of the poor monk to His Majesty through Lao Jun, and now that he has explained to His Majesty in person, the poor monk has no regrets. "Lighting the lampway.

"Okay, the attitude of the ancient Buddha, I already know, please rest assured that the ancient Buddha will not embarrass the western sky. The Jade Emperor made his position clear.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding, and the poor monk will retire. The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "I still have something to discuss with Lao Jun, so I won't send the ancient Buddha." ”

Randen didn't care too much about whether to send it or not, after getting the Jade Emperor's statement, he saluted with one hand, and then walked out of the Jade Emperor's dormitory in Yulingtian and returned to the West Heaven.

"Lao Jun, if you light the lamp, how true or false?" After the lamp left, the Jade Emperor asked.

Lao Jun carefully considered it and came to a conclusion, "Your Majesty, according to Lao Chen, three points are true, and seven points are false!"

The Jade Emperor stroked his beard lightly and said, "What a lamp, acting like this will give me a great disadvantage." If I still insist on going to war, I will fall into the arms of his burning lamp!"

Lao Jun nodded lightly in agreement, Burning the lamp came this time, Mingli seemed to have a humble attitude, and tried his best to think about the heavenly court, but in fact, he gave the heavenly court a set, so that the Jade Emperor did not dare to easily start the war, and when it came to preaching, the attitude of the burning lamp was extremely ambiguous, and he did not dwell on it.

"What does Lao Jun think about the civil strife in Buddhism?" the Jade Emperor remembered what Ran Deng said and asked again.

Lao Jun thought for a long time and said, "I'm afraid that this matter is a mystery by lighting the lamp, Your Majesty should know that the twenty-eight heavens of his Buddhism are each a realm, and they don't interfere with each other, if it is civil strife, can he light the lamp so easily today?"

"What Lao Jun said is reasonable, if there is a change in the twenty-eight heavens of his Buddhism, why did he come to my heavenly court to tell the matter when he lit the lamp?

"This matter may be true, the old minister has just watched his Dao fruit, and there is a vague tendency to collapse, I am afraid that the time that the lamp is not long is true. Perhaps, this is the last time he will come to my heavenly court!"

"As a saint, how could Burning Lamp sit down after surviving the immeasurable tribulation and transcending heaven and earth?" the Jade Emperor asked a little puzzled.

"The old minister also has doubts about this matter, but the collapse of the Burning Lamp Dao Fruit can't be faked, and he has no need to fake it in this regard. Lao Jun said lightly, as a saint, he naturally knew what the result would be if the saint Dao Fruit collapsed, and there was no need for the lamp to split the Dao Fruit to make a fake.

"I'm afraid things are getting more and more interesting. The Jade Emperor smiled lightly, "If the lamp is sitting, the agreement should also be invalidated." ”

West Tianling Mountain, a golden avenue appears in the sky, burn the lamp and stroll on the avenue, raise your feet and stroll between, you have arrived outside the big thunder sound temple, one step for a thousand miles, shrink the ground into inches.

Squeak - Burning the lamp pushes open the door and walks in. Rulai opened his eyes, looked at the lamp, and asked, "Has the ancient Buddha been to the Great Brahma?

Ran the lamp walked to a plate of futon, sat down cross-legged, straightened his robe, and said, "The Great Brahma has already stated that if you need it in the future, she can help you." In addition, this seat went to Heavenly Court today, and wanted the Jade Emperor to express his position, in a short period of time, Heavenly Court will not have any impact on my plan to learn scriptures from the Western Heavens, you can do it freely!"

Rulai bowed slightly, "So there is Lao Gufo!"

"In addition," Randen looked up at the Great Leiyin Temple, and said, "The limit of this seat is approaching, and it is about to be sitting, you call my West Tianling Mountain Department to come to my Da Leiyin Temple, and this seat will preach the scriptures again before sitting, and talk about the Tao again." ”

"After this seat is seated, there will be a bone relic, which will be handed over to the Great Brahma for safekeeping, and if you use it in the future, you can ask the Great Brahma for it. ”

A trace of unwillingness flashed in Rulai's eyes, but he covered it up very well, and he didn't notice it, and Rulai then said respectfully, "The little monks all listen to the arrangements of the ancient Buddha!"

On this day, the bell of the West Heaven Spirit Mountain Realm rang, such as to gather all the departments of the West Heaven to gather in the Spirit Mountain, the bell sound is grand, and all the heavens and all the worlds can be heard.
