With the transmission of two decrees from the Western Heaven some time ago, the attitude of the Heavenly Court has also eased, the Jade Emperor has canceled the state of combat readiness, and the atmosphere in the Three Realms seems to have eased a lot. However, the human world is opposed to each other, and the Emperor of the Underworld has stated that the underworld is the underworld, and there is a turbulent situation in the Three Realms.

In the Jade Emperor Bedroom of the Jade Emperor of Yuling Tian, Taishang Laojun and the Jade Emperor sat opposite each other. The Jade Emperor picked up the teacup on the table, nodded to Lao Jun, took a sip, put down the teacup and said, "I summoned Lao Jun here today for the banquet in Yaochi, and I hope that Lao Jun will plan for me." ”

Lao Jun bowed down and said, "Your Majesty entrusts the old minister to do his best!"

The Jade Emperor nodded in approval.

"A few days ago, I sent someone to the west to deliver a prayer post. But if you don't make a move for a long time, is it possible that Rulai won't give me this face?"

"If you refuse to come, it is expected by the old minister. Lao Jun stroked his beard and said.

"Rulai has already expressed his position and acknowledged that His Majesty is the co-master of the Three Realms and dominates the two worlds of Immortals and Buddhas. If he receives a prayer and comes to my heavenly court, I am afraid that his prestige in the Buddhist sect will completely fall to the bottom. ”

Lao Jun's words are reasonable, and now he has made frequent concessions in the west. Rulai's prestige has been trampled on again and again, if he really dares to come to my heavenly court, I'm afraid it should be me who has a headache. The Jade Emperor said with a smile.

Because of the scriptures in the West, the prestige of the West Heaven has risen infinitely, and the belief in the world and Buddhism have even surpassed the vein of the heavenly court. And the power of faith in the world is extremely important to both the heavenly court and the Buddhist sect.

Among the four continents in the world, before learning from the scriptures, the West Heaven sat on the West Niu Hezhou, the South Zhanbu Continent, the East Sheng Shenzhou, and the North Julu Continent were all under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. The Jade Emperor didn't have to worry about the lack of faith before.

But with Xuanzang's westward journey to learn scriptures, the scriptures were spread in the three major Shenzhou, and even the Beiju Luzhou, which was a barren land, now knows that Buddhism is coming. Today's momentum has greatly exceeded the Jade Emperor's expectations, and the power of faith is the foundation of Heavenly Court. The Jade Emperor had to pay attention to this matter, so the study of the scriptures ended, and the relationship between Heaven and Buddhism deteriorated rapidly.

Now that Buddhism has been suppressed by Heaven one after another, and the prestige of Buddhism has been trampled on, although this matter will not cause the general trend of faith in the three continents, it can be disgusting and disgusting, and it is not a bad thing for Heavenly Court.

"Your Majesty, if the old minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not?" said the old gentleman.

"But it doesn't matter, I invited you here today to discuss the banquet. "The Jade Emperor made it clear that the purpose of inviting Lao Jun to come today was to come.

"Your Majesty, since you want to invite Rulai, it is better to invite Xuanzang and the four of you together, so that Rulai has to come. Lao Jun put forward his own ideas.

"Hmm. The Jade Emperor nodded slightly, "Lao Jun's words are reasonable, if I just invite Rulai, it will seem that I am stingy." After all, if this matter is bowed, the meritorious Buddha can be said to have contributed a lot!"

"Then according to what Lao Jun said, I will send someone to go to the West Heaven again, and then invite Na Rulai and Lighting the lamp, and send someone to pass the message to the Meritorious Buddha and others, and after three days, we will gather in Yaochi together!"

"Your Majesty, a few meritorious Buddhas, let's send a prayer post, otherwise with the temper of a monkey, I'm afraid I won't come. The old minister said helplessly.

"Hahaha," the Jade Emperor laughed, "yes, if you don't send someone to send a prayer post, then I'm afraid the monkey will really have to make trouble again, so let Tai Bai Xing go to the Huaguo Mountain for a while!"

Xitian Da Lei Yin Temple, if you came to see the people in the hall, said calmly, "Your Majesty has sent people to send letters five times, and it is inconvenient for the Buddha to refuse, and please go back and tell His Majesty the Jade Emperor that this Buddha and the ancient Buddha will come to Yaochi in three days!"

The Heavenly Court Herald clasped his hands into fists and saluted, handing the prayer in his hand to the Venerable Kasa Ye beside Rulai. After receiving the reply from Rulai, he turned around and left the Great Lei Yin Temple to return.

Venerable Kasa held the prayer post with both hands, as if he looked at it, waved his hand, and the prayer post flew into his hand, and said, "Go and ask the ancient Buddha to burn the lamp!"

Ananda and Ka Ye received the order and were about to go to the mountain behind the Lingshan to ask for the lamp, but the two of them had not yet walked out of the main hall a few steps. The lamp was lit and Ananda walked forward and saluted.

"Ancient Buddha, my Buddha is sending the two of us to invite the ancient Buddha. ”

Burning the lamp with one hand and bowing back, he said, "Amitabha, this seat already knows about this matter, you can step down, this seat has something to say to my Buddha." ”

Ananda and Kasyashi bowed and retreated, and walked around the corner, Ananda pulled Lakyaye and said, "Hey, what do you say about this, in the original time, no matter how big or small my Buddha is, I and the other two can participate, but since the scriptures, every time we have to dismiss the two of us, is it not because of the original transmission of the scriptures, I asked for kickbacks?"

Ka Ye smiled, "How is it possible, besides, at that time, my Buddha had already made it clear that my Buddha had already made it clear that it would be a problem for the two of us." Since my Buddha dismissed the two of us, it means that this matter is very important, and it is inconvenient for too many people to know, you must not forget, we and others who learned the scriptures should not miss a major event because of a momentary matter!"

Da Lei Yin Temple, light the lamp and push the door in, into the main hall. Then sit cross-legged on the futon on the side. After straightening his robe, he said, "Is it the Heavenly Court that sent someone to deliver the letter again?"

Rulai nodded, raised his palm slightly, and a prayer post in his hand floated lightly, and then fell in front of the lamp, the lamp reached out to take it, opened the prayer post, took a look, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect him to have a banquet in the heavenly court, but he had a heart." ”

"What does the ancient Buddha think about this matter, this banquet of Yaochi, to go or not?" asked Rulai. Although it was said before that the matter of Buddhism can be decided by himself, but this matter is related to the burning of the lamp, and he has to listen to the opinion of the lamp.

"Go, if you don't go, wouldn't it be that my Buddhism is in the hands of others. "Light the lamp and say lightly.

"There is one more thing, I want to tell you, I have little time, I have to prepare for a plan!"

"This, can't the ancient Buddha wait for that day?" If he was shocked, he never imagined that the arrangement of learning scriptures was about to come to an end, but the ancient Buddha said that his limit was approaching!

"Amitabha, you must understand that tens of thousands of years of preparation and arrangement are for the sake of my entire Buddha Gate, not just for this seat, you must take that step as soon as possible, so that you can keep my western heaven stable after sitting in this seat!"

"However, if there is no ancient Buddha, what is the point of the little monk doing this!" Rulai said melancholy. Ran the lamp and said that he should take that step as soon as possible, but it was not so easy.

"No, if you come, this seat has already said that the matter of taking scriptures is for the Buddhas of the Western Heavens, not for the sake of one person in this seat, you have to understand. Ran Deng stared at Rulai and said solemnly.

Rulai sighed and said, "Please rest assured that the ancient Buddha, in this matter, the little monk will do his best to ensure the prosperity of my western heaven!"

Randen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since you have already stated that you will come to Yaochi in three days, then three days later, this seat will come to this Great Leiyin Temple again." ”

After saying that, Randen stood up, walked out of the Great Lei Yin Temple, and returned to his retreat place.

After lighting the lamp and leaving, Rulai, who was sitting on the lotus Buddha platform, looked down at the prayer post in his hand. Sneered, this day, is it finally coming?

In the Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave, Tai Bai Xing was directly carried in by a group of little monkeys, and the Great Sage crossed his legs and asked with a smile, "I said, old man, which gust of wind blew you here?"

Tai Bai Xing looked at the torn robe on his body, and said with a smile, "I said Great Sage, I am a lot old God, don't toss my old bones!"

"The old god came today to send a prayer to the Great Sage at the behest of His Majesty the Jade Emperor, and His Majesty invited the Great Sage to participate in the banquet of Yaochi. ”

"The banquet of Yaochi, don't go, don't go, I didn't invite my grandson to the peach festival back then, today's Yaochi banquet, but I think of my grandson, don't go, don't go!" The great sage directly refused.

"Uh. As soon as Tai Baixing heard it, he knew that the monkey was still worried about the peach festival back then, and said with a smile, "Great Sage, the peach meeting has passed back then, don't worry about it, this is not this Yaochi banquet, Your Majesty specially sent the old minister down to send you a message and invite you to participate." ”

"If you don't go, you can't go, how can my grandson be so good to invite, if the Jade Emperor doesn't come to invite my grandson in person, then I won't go!" The great sage shook his head and was resolute, saying that if the Jade Emperor didn't come, he wouldn't go.

"Great Sage, the Jade Emperor is busy with affairs, and he can't spare time to invite you. Tai Bai Xing persuaded.

"Then don't persuade me, my grandson won't go!"

"Great Sage, are you really not going?" "If you really don't go, if the Jade Emperor doesn't come, I won't go!" "Okay, the old minister will retire." ”

Tai Bai Xing is about to go, and see how the monkey reacts. Sure enough, the Great Sage saw that Tai Bai Xing was leaving, and hurriedly said something to stay.

"Hey, I said old man, what are you anxious about. Who are you invited to this Yaochi banquet? What have you prepared? You tell my grandson about it, and I will think about it. ”

"Hahaha, you monkey. Tai Bai Xing said with a smile, "This Yaochi banquet is the Buddha of the West Heaven and the Ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp, the Buddha of the Zen Merits of the West Heaven, the Great Sage, and the canopy, the roller blinds, and the three princes of the West Sea." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, the Great Sage became interested, "So, the Jade Emperor Lao'er invited you and my grandson to be a guest in Nayao Pond?"

"Exactly, exactly. Your Majesty sent me a prayer post. Tai Bai Xing nodded, took out the prayer note in his arms and handed it to the Great Sage.

"Ahahahaha," the great sage slapped his thigh happily and said happily, "It's so old, this Yaochi banquet is going to my grandson, I'm going!" ”

Heavenly Court Tianhe, Bajie grabbed the prayer post in his hand and sat on the embankment. Looking at the weak water in the Tianhe, he said softly, "Weak water, should I go to this Yaochi banquet or not?"

With the sound of the water churning, the weak water true spirit leaned out and said, "Go, you want to go, if you don't go, it will be difficult to explain to the heavenly court and the western heaven!"

Bajie nodded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, since the end of the scriptures, the opportunities for the four masters and apprentices to meet have become less and less, and just taking this opportunity, the four masters and apprentices can reunite again.

At the same time, the Eastern Earth Tang Dynasty, the West Sea Dragon Palace, the Liusha River, and the masters and apprentices all received the prayers from the Heavenly Court, and after some consideration, they all decided to go to the Heavenly Court to participate in the Yao Chi Banquet.

In the Jade Emperor's dormitory, the Jade Emperor rubbed a night pearl in his hand. If you come, I have already placed the battle post, it depends on whether you have the ability to take it in Xitian!
