"Amitabha, why did Your Majesty say this? My Buddha has always been compassionate, and I am not greedy for worldly power, but only for the sake of all sentient beings in the world. The poor monk firmly believed that there must be a misunderstanding in this. Xuanzang argued.

"If it is because of the enthronement of my three apprentices, Lao Jun has gone to Lingshan for this matter, if my Buddha is still worried about this matter, the poor monk is willing to go to the West Heaven to advise my Buddha"

"I said Jade Emperor Lao'er, you are too narrow-minded, didn't that old man already turn the West Heaven upside down? Why are you still biting this matter?" The Great Sage looked at the Jade Emperor and didn't give Xuanzang any face, and said dissatisfied.

"I had no intention of holding on to this matter, but not long ago, the Ancient Buddha of the West Heaven Burning Lamp went to Tushi Palace, and discussed with Lao Jun about the ownership of the world's avenues, and bluntly said that my heavenly court misled people's children, and I can't be the co-master of the world. The Jade Emperor said in a deep voice.

"Back then, I inherited the throne of the Emperor of Heaven and was supported by Laojun. The four royal assistants of Jinque, the four saints of the North Pole, the arch guard of the Emperor of Shenxiao Jiuchen, the thirty-six heavens in the palm of the heavens, and the seventy-two lands under the jurisdiction. Command all things of immortals, Buddhas, saints, the world, and the underworld. To put it mildly, your Buddha Sect is also under my jurisdiction, although the Ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp has the position of a saint, where did he come from to ask me about the preaching of the Heavenly Court!"

"Amitabha," Xuanzang clasped his hands together, "the affairs of the world's great avenues, the poor monks dare not talk about it." Although the poor monk is a member of Buddhism, he does not dare to question that His Majesty is the co-master of the Three Realms, but the poor monk firmly believes that my Buddhism is only for the sake of saving the world, and has no intention of competing with Heaven for the co-lord of the world. ”

"Hehe," the Jade Emperor sneered, "I don't know what the Buddha of Zen Merit can represent, can it represent the attitude of your Buddhas in the Western Heavens?"

Xuanzang recited a Buddha name lightly, not speaking. The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word that I don't know whether to say or not. Bajie stepped forward and said.

"It doesn't hurt to say canopy. The Jade Emperor waved his hand, and when the three of them met just now, Bajie reported his name as Tianpeng, and the Jade Emperor knew which camp Bajie had chosen, and his attitude towards Bajie was also relaxed, and he was not aggressive.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Bajie thanked him and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers dare not speak falsely about the war situation." The minister just explained to His Majesty that if there was a war, the weak water of the Tianhe River would be left unattended, and I was afraid that there would be a tendency to burst the embankment. At that time, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe in the Three Realms!"

"Oh?" the Jade Emperor heard this, and looked at Bajie, "Tianpeng means to threaten me?"

Bajie lowered his head, "The minister doesn't dare, it's just that the minister has been to Tianhe once, and found that now the weak water has the power to destroy the heavenly embankment, and the management of the Tianhe River has entered a period of emptiness. At that time, Your Majesty will definitely spare manpower to deal with the problem of weak water, so what chance does my Heavenly Court still have?"

"Tianpeng, you are so bold!" the Jade Emperor said angrily, "Do you really think that I don't know about you and Weak Water?, I am magnanimous to you, and restore you to the position of Marshal of Tianpeng, and this is how you repay me and Heavenly Court?"

"Well, Jade Emperor Lao'er, don't be embarrassed, my master and Bajie have already given you enough face, but you have repeatedly deceived my master, do you really think that my old grandson will not dare to lift your Lingxiao Hall now?" The Great Sage pulled out the golden hoop rod in his ear, exhaled a breath, and the iron rod became the norm, and it slammed on the ground with a bang.

On the top of the main hall, the gods looked at the great sage who took out the iron rod, and they also showed their weapons one after another, ready to escort them.

"Hahaha," the great sage laughed, "Five hundred years ago, my grandson was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain by Rulai before he had enough fights, and today my grandson is making trouble with your heavenly palace again, but I want to see if your Jade Emperor Lao'er can invite Rulai again!"

"Wukong, don't be rude, now that you have converted to Buddhism, you can't be so murderous. Xuanzang looked at the Great Sage and admonished.

"Master, the Jade Emperor is too deceitful, and my grandson really can't get used to his virtue. The Great Sage put away the iron rod and said.

Seeing that the Great Sage retracted, the gods also put away their weapons, after all, it is now at a critical moment, if it really makes a move with this monkey, I am afraid that the West Heaven will have more excuses to accuse the Heavenly Court.

"Amitabha, the poor monks and disciples have no way, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins. Xuanzang said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, this monkey is still a little angry, I think that Buddhism has already transformed this monkey, it seems that this monkey has not fallen into his name of Monkey King. "For such a bad attitude of the Great Sage, the Jade Emperor is not angry but happy.

"Your Majesty, the war has a great impact. The beings of the Three Realms are all His Majesty's people, can Your Majesty bear to see them suffer in the flames of war? If the war breaks out, no matter what the outcome is, it will only hurt the foundation of the Heavenly Court in the end!" Xuanzang persuaded again.

"The poor monk is willing to go to the West Heaven to admonish my Buddha, let my Buddha admit the matter of the Heavenly Court, and let my Buddha admit the matter of the co-lord of the Heavenly Court. I also hope that Your Majesty will take back his life for the sake of the beings in the lower realm!"

After Xuanzang finished speaking, he lifted the brocade robe upwards with one hand, held the Nine Dragons tin staff in the other, knelt on the ground on both knees, and bowed to the Jade Emperor.

"Master. Seeing Xuanzang's humble attitude, the Great Sage shouted.

"This Jade Emperor Lao Er is so oily and salt-in, and wait for my old grandson to overturn his Lingxiao Treasure Palace!" After speaking, the Great Sage was about to take out the iron rod again.

"Wukong!" Xuanzang, who was kneeling on the ground, shouted, "You must not be rude to Your Majesty, I believe that Your Majesty is not such a narrow-minded person, and you will definitely not abandon the beings in the lower realm because of a momentary anger, you must not be rude and provoke trouble for no reason!"

Hearing Xuanzang's words, the great sage was angry and annoyed, but Xuanzang was right, he couldn't make trouble in the heavenly palace for no reason, although he is now a person in Buddhism, but if he comes to that bald scoop or fancy Xuanzang, although he is a Buddha and achieves positive results, but he will definitely not be too partial to himself.

Thinking of this, the Great Sage sighed hatefully, flicked his sleeves, and turned to stand aside.

Looking at Xuanzang who was kneeling on the ground, Bajie gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the Jade Emperor.

"Please Your Majesty take back your destiny for the sake of the beings in the lower realm!"

On the top of the main hall, looking at Xuanzang and Bajie who were kneeling on the ground, they not only whispered.

On top of the first place, looking at the chaotic Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor raised his hand and pressed it down, and the discussion of the gods gradually became quieter. Then respectfully waited for the Jade Emperor's next move.

The Jade Emperor stood up and said, "The Buddha of Chan Meritorious Merit is so concerned about the common people of the world, although he is a member of the Buddhist Sect, he considers my heavenly court everywhere, and he is worthy of being a high-ranking monk." Anyway, I will temporarily withdraw my fate, but I just want to bother the meritorious Buddha to go to the Western Heaven for a while, so that your Western Heaven Buddha Gate will have a formal explanation for my Heavenly Court!"

"Poor monk, thank you, Your Majesty!" Xuanzang said respectfully. "The poor monk is willing to go to the West Heaven to admonish my Buddha, please rest assured that Your Majesty is here. ”

The Jade Emperor nodded, "In that case, let's stop here for today's court meeting, the canopy can be temporarily stayed, and if the rest of the Aiqing have nothing to do, then retreat from the court." ”

The gods took the order and walked out of the Lingxiao Palace. The Great Sage stepped forward and helped Xuanzang up, and said to the Jade Emperor, "It's still your Jade Emperor's old acquaintance, otherwise my old grandson will definitely overturn your Lingxiao Palace!"

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "You monkey, do you really think that no one in my Heavenly Court can subdue you? If you really make trouble with my Heavenly Palace today, I'm afraid I will really suppress you!"

"The Jade Emperor is merciful, he is a poor monk and a disciple of the five directions, Wukong is already a member of my Buddhism, and the poor monk will be strictly disciplined in the future, not to let him be so rude and arrogant" Xuanzang thanked him.

The Jade Emperor's face changed, and he smiled instead, "It's okay, this monkey's temperament is difficult to change, just let him go." I want to talk to Tianpeng alone about Tianhe. I don't know what else the meritorious Buddha has arranged?"

Hearing this, Xuanzang knew that the Jade Emperor had issued another order to expel guests, and saluted, "The poor monk and Wukong will retire first, and the poor monk will go to Lingshan to meet my Buddha today." ”

"It's so good, it's a meritorious Buddha. ”

Xuanzang didn't stay too long, and walked towards the outside of the Lingxiao Hall with the Great Sage.

When Xuanzang and Wukong completely walked out of the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor dismissed the maids behind him, and on the huge Lingxiao Palace, only the Jade Emperor and Bajie were left.

Looking at Bajie, who had changed his appearance, the Jade Emperor sighed, "Over the years, you have suffered in the Nether. Back then, I let you and the shutters go, but now it seems that I made a wrong move!"

Bajie didn't care about his appearance, "Why did Your Majesty say this, it was because the minister's life was not good, and he mistakenly voted for a pig's fetus, so he became what he is now." Your Majesty does not need to blame himself, thanks to His Majesty's love, it is already a great favor to restore the post of marshal, how can the minister dare to blame His Majesty. ”

"Tianpeng, if my Heavenly Court really starts a war with the Western Heavens, which side will you choose to stand on?"

Bajie looked at the Jade Emperor sitting on the dragon chair, when the Jade Emperor dismissed the gods and was the only one, Bajie knew that the Jade Emperor would ask him this question, and sure enough, the Jade Emperor still asked himself.

After hesitating for a moment, Bajie replied, "Although the minister is now a member of the Western Heavenly Buddha Gate, in terms of the Heavenly Court, the minister can't let go of the Tianhe Water Military Department, and he can't let go of the weak water of the Tianhe. ”

Hearing this, the Jade Emperor knew what the Eight Rings meant. laughed, "Hahaha, good, good, good!" and said three good words in a row.

"You really didn't disappoint me, as long as you want to, I don't know. But you have to be careful, don't be seen by the other gods, or if you stab me, I won't be able to protect you even if I want to!"

"Minister, thank you for Your Majesty's grace!" Bajie hurriedly knelt on the ground and thanked him.

There are rules in the heavenly court, and the gods of the heavenly court are not allowed to touch the mortal heart, if there is a violation, remove the fairy bones, cut off the top three flowers, and degrade to the lower realm

。 The Jade Emperor acquiesced to himself and the weak water, which was nothing more than using the weak water to tie himself up, knowing that it was a game, but Bajie had to jump in, because her weak water was in the heavenly court, and the peace of mind was the place to return.

"Tianpeng, I ask you, that splash monkey, you, the curtain, how many people have completely transformed the West Heaven?" the Jade Emperor asked suddenly.

The minister didn't dare to say anything about this, but he knew that the monkey seemed to have changed, and he had changed on the way to learn the scriptures. At the beginning, the monkey's unruly spirit was manifested everywhere, but later, the minister always felt that he was a little less unruly, and he obeyed Xuanzang's words, and he no longer looked like a great sage back then. ”

"Lao Shan's wood, nine times out of ten, has been transformed by Buddhism, Ao Lie only carries Xuanzang along the way, and it is unlikely that it will be transformed. And the minister," Speaking of this, Bajie paused, "The minister doesn't know if he has been degreed, but the minister's heart seems to have changed, and his heart begins to worry about the people in the world, and there is a vague image of being degreed." ”

The Jade Emperor sighed, "In this way, he has a great plan for the West Heaven!"

Outside the Lingxiao Palace, Xuanzang and the Great Sage had just walked a few steps, and the Tota Heavenly King and the third prince of Nezha were waiting not far away. Seeing the two, Nezha rushed over and saluted.

"Nezha has seen the Buddha of Chan Meditation and the Great Sage. ”

"Amitabha, I don't know what happened to the third prince of Nezha waiting for my master and apprentice here?"

"That's the case, my father and I have been on duty in the heavenly court all the year round, I haven't seen the great sage for a long time, today the great sage accompanies the meritorious Buddha to meet the Jade Emperor, my father's intention, I want to invite the great sage to the house as a guest. Nezha said.

"Hehe, since it was your third prince and the king of heaven who invited my grandson as a guest, then my grandson went to have a drink. Master, my grandson won't accompany you to the West Heaven, and you also know that my grandson and the Buddha have nothing to say, and it's not enough to cause trouble to your old man. The Great Sage said with a smile.

"Well, since it is the invitation of the Heavenly King, the poor monk can't refute the face of the Heavenly King, you can go, but Wukong, you don't want to cause trouble in the Heavenly King's Mansion. Xuanzang advised.

"My grandson has a sense of proportion, Master, don't worry about it. After speaking, the Great Sage swaggered and Nezha towards the Heavenly King's Mansion.

"Li Tianwang, my old grandson and the third prince are one step ahead, you have to follow!" the voice of the great sage came from afar.

Not far away, King Tota saw Xuanzang and nodded in greeting. Xuanzang folded his hands in return. Then he left the heavenly court and drove the clouds to the western heavens.

Heavenly Court Heavenly King's Mansion, after three rounds of drinking, Li Tianwang stared at the robed Great Sage, and couldn't help asking, "Great Sage, does this king have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?"

"Hehe, why does the king of heaven need to see the outside like this, just say what you have to say, today you feast on my grandson, it proves that you still have a friend of my grandson!"

Then the king said it bluntly. Li Tianwang picked up the wine glass on the table, touched it lightly, raised his head and drank it all, "This king feels that the Great Sage has changed, and he is no longer the Monkey King of the past!"
