Zhen Yuanzi sat in the hall, and after a while, Dao Tong led a person in.

The man was smiling, holding a rosary in his hand, and a large belly exposed, as if the robe was too small to cover his belly.

This person is not an outsider, it is the future Buddha - Maitreya Buddha, seeing Zhen Yuanzi, Maitreya Buddha smiled even happier.

At this time, Zhen Yuanzi also stood up from the chair, and after the two saluted each other, Maitreya Buddha smiled and said: "Zhen Yuan Daxian is really a good place to go, and I really envy others." ”

"The Buddha said with a smile, I'm just a small mountain view here, where can I compare to the West Tianling Mountain." Zhen Yuanzi smiled casually and asked, "I don't know if the Buddha came from afar, is there any business trip?" ”

Maitreya Buddha saw Zhen Yuanzi asking, so he took the opportunity to say: "I can't hide it, I did have some small things here, but I also asked Zhen Yuan Daxian to help." ”

"Oh? The Buddha asked, but if you can help, Zhen Yuanzi will do his best. ”

Zhen Yuanzi's attitude made Maitreya Buddha smile even happier, touching the big belly with one hand and holding the rosary with the other: "It's just a small thing, a few years ago, the Buddha caught a little demon who was a disaster, and wanted to leave it in the West Heaven, but he never thought that this little demon was difficult to get rid of, and he cultivated a skill in the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain, and escaped while no one was paying attention. I'll have an explanation when I go back. ”

"Oh? There is such a thing. Zhen Yuanzi, who was originally sitting on the chair, heard this, and immediately stood up from the chair, looking puzzled: "Come on, go and find out if there is anyone here who does not know the whereabouts, if there is, immediately arrest and hand it over to Maitreya Buddha." ”

After a disciple received the order, he hurriedly summoned the disciples in the view, scattered in all directions, and went to look for the traces of strangers, at this time Maitreya Buddha saw Zhen Yuanzi's attitude, only when he really didn't know that a stranger had come, and it seemed that Zhen Yuanzi had scattered all his disciples, and there was no perfunctory, and the smile on his face was a little deeper.

"Maitreya Buddha, please stay here later, I have sent a disciple here to go out to look for it, and there will be news soon, once this person is found, he will definitely hand it over to the Buddha to take back." Maitreya Buddha nodded with satisfaction, but Zhen Yuanzi shook his head, frowning and puzzled: "It's just that I don't know where this little demon comes from, and I will actually bother the Buddha to catch it himself." ”

Maitreya Buddha has long been prepared for this, plus Zhen Yuanzi is not an ordinary person, don't say that he is himself, even if he is Daomen Sanqing, he has to respect him a little, it is obviously impossible to be silent, and he still laughs: "Zhenyuan Daxian doesn't know, that little demon is the six-eared macaque that was inseparable from Sun Wukong some time ago, Wukong did not kill it at that time, a stick down, the six-eared macaque was running out of time, the Buddha was kind and moved, and he saved him, but this monkey is wild and untamable, and he was careless for a while, so he escaped, The Buddha was worried that this evil animal would cause trouble again, so he asked me to bring him back. ”

The conversation between the two people in the hall, Fang Youren heard it clearly in the painting, and his heart was also a sigh, because of the rush of time, and the Maitreya Buddha chased too fast, Fang Youren had no time to explain to Zhen Yuanzi, if Zhen Yuanzi really believed him, he would really become a turtle in the urn at this time, this heaven and earth treasure except for Zhen Yuanzi, easy to come in, want to go out, it is not so easy.

Zhen Yuanzi didn't know what Fang Youren was thinking at this time, and in the face of Maitreya Buddha's explanation, he also looked like he was suddenly enlightened, so that people couldn't see the flaws at all, and the two of them talked in the hall for a while, and a hurried footsteps outside the house interrupted the conversation between the two.

After a disciple came in and bowed to Maitreya Buddha, he said, "Master Qiyu, the disciples have searched for dozens of miles, but they have not found any traces of strangers entering or leaving. ”

"The rice bucket, no one can find it, do you want the teacher to find it for you?" Before the disciple finished speaking, Zhen Yuanzi shouted angrily, and the disciple fell to his knees with a frightened thud.

Seeing this, Maitreya Buddha hurriedly stopped Zhen Yuanzi's words: "Zhen Yuan Daxian don't be angry, it seems that I underestimate this demon, it seems that it will take a lot of effort to catch him, so don't embarrass the disciples." ”

"Where does Maitreya Buddha say, isn't it just a demon monkey, I don't believe that he can still evaporate out of thin air." After saying that, Zhen Yuanzi glared at the disciple who was kneeling on the ground, the disciple understood, and hurriedly turned around and retreated, Zhen Yuanzi then said: "Since it is the Buddha's business, I should help, so let's do it, I happen to be fine today, so I will go with Maitreya Buddha to find the demon monkey." ”

Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi was going to go out in person, Maitreya Buddha hurriedly waved his hand and thanked: "The great immortal has received the good intentions, and the disciples have found it to no avail, presumably this demon monkey is no longer here, I still go to look for him elsewhere, and I dare not bother the great immortal." ”

After some prevarication, Zhen Yuanzi finally did not follow Maitreya Buddha down the mountain, only he understood in his heart that this was just to let Maitreya Buddha leave with peace of mind, and as Zhen Yuanzi expected, Maitreya Buddha saw that the search was fruitless, so he got up and said goodbye.

Maitreya Buddha who left the Wuzhuang View did not go too far, but hid outside the nine skies, watching the movement in the view from afar, Maitreya Buddha still believed in his own judgment and ability, along the way he was looking for the footprints of Fang Youren, but when he arrived at this Wuzhuang View, Fang Youren disappeared, no matter how real Zhen Yuanzi's drama was, he was also suspicious.

Zhen Yuanzi is what kind of person, the ancestor of the earth immortal is not a fuel-efficient lamp, sent away Maitreya Buddha, he did not rush to release Fang Friend, but said to the other friend across the Heaven and Earth Treasure Book: "Immortal and rest assured in the Heaven and Earth Treasure Book, Maitreya Buddha will not go too far, presumably hidden outside the nine heavens, which can not only monitor the movement of my Wuzhuang Temple, but also not let me notice." ”

The so-called Nine Heavens are the three realms and twenty-eight heavens in the thirty-six heavens, and beyond the nine heavens is the twenty-eight heavens of the earth, the Emperor Heaven.

The human world is far away from the Emperor Heaven, but it is not beyond the reach of the Divine Sense, but because the Emperor Heaven has a good hiding place, those who have cultivated to the advanced level can use the advantage of the Emperor Heaven to evade all tracking, even if they are in the same Emperor Heaven, it is difficult to detect the existence of the other party.

Zhen Yuanzi's judgment is not wrong, Maitreya Buddha is hidden in the Emperor Heaven, Buddhism and Taoism have been competing for a long time, even if Zhen Yuanzi has a very good relationship with Xitian Lingshan, or Zhen Yuanzi is an outlier in the two worlds, belongs to the neutral faction, and does not rely on anyone, but the deep-rooted teachings make Maitreya Buddha distrust Zhen Yuanzi is also his own expectation.
