Princess Iron Fan embarrassedly explained to the stone monkey: "In ancient times, or before ancient times, when chaos first opened, although five thousand years have passed, the living beings are still confused and ignorant! Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info So the great god Pangu opened the heavens and the earth from the chaos, created a new world, and incarnated himself as the way of heaven in order to maintain the interpretation of heaven and earth. Although heaven and earth were generated, Pangu, as a heavenly dao, did not know how civilization developed. Fortunately, at this time, the great god Nuwa felt that the heaven and earth were too barren, so he created all creatures in heaven and earth. After 3,000 years of development, the fire of civilization is finally blazing. The Pangu Great God also slowly perfected the Heavenly Dao through this, so that he could get out and leave the ......"

At first, the stone monkey listened with relish, but Princess Iron Fan never mentioned merit or anything, and couldn't help interrupting her: "Sister-in-law, what about merit? What is merit?"

Seeing that the stone monkey looked anxious, Princess Iron Fan no longer prepared to elaborate on it at length, and said with a smile: "Look at your urgency! Merit is a contribution to the perfection of the Heavenly Dao." At the beginning, Tianzhu Buzhou Mountain fell and cut the sky, causing the sky to break a big hole. The Heavenly Dao was also destroyed as a result. Fortunately, the great god Nuwa refined the colorful stones to make up for the sky, so that all creatures in heaven and earth avoided a disaster. This merit of mending the heavens, the great god Nuwa, did not receive it, but instilled it all into the colorful stones. Therefore, as a multicolored stone, the little brother of the stone monkey has great merit as soon as he is born!"

The stone monkey understands this as the inheritance of the great god Nuwa, and he is the heir to the inheritance! It's just that this inheritance is intangible, and he can't see or touch it. But it's useful! Now even the Buddha is thinking about it. It seems that what is not your own is not your own after all.

Seeing the stone monkey's face like this, Princess Iron Fan asked a little uneasily, "Does the little brother of the stone monkey understand?

The stone monkey replied, "Sister-in-law, I'm too worried! I still don't understand something, but it doesn't matter. I believe that the Buddha will not let me do anything bad, but only consume the merits that do not belong to me in the first place. Now that I think about it, the god Nuwa may have deliberately arranged it this way. ”

Princess Iron Fan originally wanted to say something, but when she heard the stone monkey say so, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

The four Bodhisattvas on the side hurriedly saluted the stone monkey and said, "I am here to thank the stone monkey benefactor for the Buddha!"

The stone monkey hurriedly helped the four Bodhisattvas up, and said, "The four Bodhisattvas don't need to be so polite!

I saw that while the stone monkey was talking to the four bodhisattvas, three more people fell from the sky and the clouds.

Princess Tiefan and the four Bodhisattvas hurriedly greeted them, and saluted the three of them: "I have seen the Queen Mother!

The stone monkey also followed to salute.

The three of them also hurriedly returned the salute.

After everyone finished saluting, the Queen Mother, the Old Mother of Lishan, and the Zhenyuan Daxian all set their eyes on the stone monkey.

Seeing this, Princess Iron Fan hurriedly introduced the three of them: "This is my little brother of the stone monkey! he was originally a colorful stone ...... on Huaguo Mountain in the sea area of Dongsheng Shenzhou."

Before Princess Tiefan's words were finished, she was interrupted by Lishan's mother, who saw Lishan's mother cross a hundred meters between her feet, came to the stone monkey's side, grabbed the stone monkey's arm and said, "It turns out that you are really my brother! Just now I was wondering how I always have an inexplicable sense of intimacy with you." I didn't expect you to be born so early!"

When the stone monkey was saluting just now, he was still looking at these two fairies, and that was his nominal sister, because they were all generally graceful and luxurious, pearlescent and jade, and fluttering ribbons. Is it a melon seed face, or is it a round face?

Don't think about it now. It turned out that the melon seed face was his sister, and the round face was the queen mother. A middle-aged Taoist priest on the side seemed to be Zhenyuan Daxian, but his beard was a little long and his cuffs were a little big.

The stone monkey saluted to the old mother of Lishan here: "The little brother has seen the elder sister!"

The old mother of Lishan agreed several times in a row, and then said: "It seems that on the way here, what Zhenyuan Daxian said is really good, I have a happy event today! Even if I lose this bet, a wine banquet is indispensable! ”

Hearing this, Zhenyuan Daxian laughed and said, "Old Mother Lishan is polite! The bet just now was just a joke." Besides, the Queen Mother's peach feast will start soon, and everyone must have a few more drinks when they get together again!"

At this time, the Queen Mother on the side also smiled and said: "Everyone present must participate! It will be very lively at that time! This stone monkey Taoist friend must also participate." ”

Everyone present hurriedly thanked the Queen Mother for her kindness and promised to participate then.

The stone monkey's mouth was full of promises, but in his heart he felt very strange.

The Queen Mother actually invited herself to the Pan Tao Banquet! You must know that even Sun Wukong, who was the Monkey King, was not invited! He is now just an unknown junior. Although he is the younger brother of the old mother of Lishan and the princess of the iron fan, he is a guest of the Buddha.

The Queen Mother was curious about the stone monkey in her heart. You must know that among the gods and Buddhas in this heaven, there are only a few people who can come to participate in the Bon Festival today. All of them are here now. Suddenly, there was an extra monkey, although this monkey was the younger brother of Lishan's mother, but no matter how high the status was on today's occasion, it was useless, and even the Supreme Jade Emperor of the Three Realms did not receive an invitation. It seems that this monkey must have something extraordinary about him!

All of you present are old friends, but they are usually rare to see each other, either one in the sky and one on the ground, or one in the cape and one in the sky.

It's rare to see each other now, and we talked about it in three or two sentences. It's not good for you to say anything.

Zhenyuan Daxian asked, "Why haven't you seen Venerable Moggallian yet?" I wonder when the Bon Festival will start?"

Avalokiteshvara replied, "Venerable Moggallian needs to go down to the eighteen layers of hell to save his mother this time, and the Jade Emperor needs the approval of the Jade Emperor to pass through the two realms. Therefore, Venerable Muganlian should still be in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to plead to the Jade Emperor. Please also wait for a moment and hold the Bon Festival as soon as His Holiness Gandrena returns. There is one more thing to tell the three of you. ”

Zhenyuan Daxian couldn't help but ask curiously, "I don't know what Guanyin Bodhisattva wants to tell me about waiting for?"

So Guanyin Bodhisattva told the people of the Acropolis to feast on the Buddha after the completion of the Yuanyuan Retreat, and invited the Queen Mother, the old mother of Lishan and the Zhenyuan Daxian to be guests.

The old mother of Lishan smiled at this: "This practice is really a happy event! It seems that it is possible for me to meet Vilamba Bodhisattva?"

Princess Tiefan took the words of Lishan's mother and said, "I have already inquired just now, this Buddha's banquet, Vilamba Bodhisattva will also participate!

The Queen Mother said happily: "Okay! Okay! I still have Yaochi elixir with me here, and our four sisters must have a few drinks at that time!"

"Why are you so happy? Tell me, I'm so happy!" Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from Mount Meru.

Hearing this, the stone monkey couldn't help but look at Mount Meru, but no one saw it.

The crowd on the side saluted to Mount Meru and said, "I've seen the Buddha from the east!"

Seeing this, the stone monkey also hurriedly saluted.

A fat monk who was quite happy suddenly appeared beside everyone, and returned the salute with a smile: "You don't need to be polite! There are many inconveniences on Mount Meru, so I won't invite you to go up and rest." ”

Only then did the stone monkey look at him.

Isn't this Maitreya Buddha? Why do everyone call him the Buddha from the East?

Maitreya Buddha opened his mouth and said to the stone monkey: "Welcome the stone monkey donor to my Sumeru Mountain, and ask the stone monkey donor to help me a little later!"

The stone monkey hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Manjushri asked Maitreya Buddha, "Buddha from the east, I wonder what happened to the Bon Festival?"

Maitreya Buddha said with a smile: "All the arrangements have been completed! Five hundred Arhats are gathering the Dharma of the monks from all directions, just wait for the Venerable Moggallian to return from the Heavenly Palace, and then immediately leave for the underworld!"

The stone monkey couldn't help muttering to himself, but he also said that he had been to hell just now, and it seemed that he had something to help himself?

Seeing Maitreya Buddha giggling, the stone monkey felt very kind, and couldn't help but get close to him, and put one hand on his shoulder, like a buddy in his previous life.

Maitreya Buddha was not annoyed by this, and still smiled and said, "Is the stone monkey donor willing to follow me to Mount Meru?"

The stone monkey also smiled and said: "I want to go, but everyone is here, and it doesn't seem good for me to go alone! I still don't go, and it's good to listen to everyone talk here! Aren't you Maitreya Buddha? Why are you called Donglai Buddha again?"

Maitreya explained, "These are my names, and I have some other names. Of course, these titles are all called by others, and when there are more people who call them, they become my name! The stone monkey donor can call me whatever he likes, and it doesn't matter what Buddha or ancestor it is!"

The stone monkey looked helpless when he heard this, and said that it was not the same as not saying it, so he had to say: "Okay! Then I will call you Maitreya Buddha in the future, this name sounds quite pleasant! Why do you still have a pocket around your waist? Is it your magic weapon?"

Maitreya Buddha untied the pocket hanging on his waist, and introduced while handing over a stone monkey: "This is my magic weapon, called the acquired bag, also known as the human seed bag, which can hold both things and people." It is usually used as a pet bag. ”

The stone monkey turned over and looked at this acquired bag, and felt that it was very ordinary, wasn't it just a cloth bag?

Untying the pocket, the stone monkey put his head into the bag and looked at it.

The space in the pocket is not very large, there is nothing. Not to mention the pets in the mouth of Maitreya Buddha.

The stone monkey couldn't help asking, "Maitreya Buddha, where is your pet? Why isn't it in the bag the day after tomorrow?"

Maitreya Buddha laughed and said, "It was left by me on Mount Meru." I didn't take it with me today!"

The stone monkey asked, "And what kind of pet is it?"

Maitreya Buddha stretched out his hand to take the bag of the heavens and said, "You'll see you later!"

On the side, the old mother of Lishan was talking to the queen mother and the princess of the iron fan, describing the love of sisterhood, and always paying attention to her younger brother. Seeing that he and Maitreya Buddha began to hook their shoulders, they couldn't help but feel a little funny.

I heard Princess Iron Fan say just now that her younger brother has reached the realm of the Three Flowers Gathering Peak, and he can be said to be a rare powerful person in the Three Realms. The other is the Buddha from the East, an ancestor-level figure. It's unimaginable that these two people hooked up and behaved in such a bohemian manner.

As she was talking, Princess Iron Fan saw a smile on the corner of Lishan's mouth, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why is Lishan's old mother so happy?

The Queen Mother couldn't help but look at the old mother of Lishan. She was also very curious about why Lishan's mother behaved out of shape today. After all, Lishan's mother is a Taoist and has practiced for thousands of years.

The old mother of Lishan did not reply, but turned to look at the stone monkey and the Maitreya Buddha.

So the Queen Mother and the Iron Fan Princess also turned their eyes.

At this moment, the stone monkey still put his hand on the shoulder of Maitreya Buddha, and he smiled and discussed with Maitreya Buddha the serious question of why the monk couldn't marry a wife. As for monks not being able to eat meat, drink wine, or anything, these are not big problems, after all, they are not monks yet. Besides, Tang Seng doesn't know where he is!

Although she has been with the stone monkey for a long time, it is the first time that Princess Iron Fan has seen the stone monkey so casual and behaved so uninhibited. Usually the stone monkeys are polite, talk plainly, do not fight, do not grab, do not annoy, do not get angry. Although it's a little silly, there are always some weird questions, but it's still a good way to get in and out.

Although the stone monkey's behavior was a little rude at this moment, the princess of the iron fan didn't think it was, this was the expression of her true temperament! Didn't you see that Maitreya Buddha looked like he didn't care? and had a good conversation with the little brother of the stone monkey.

The Queen Mother was a little stunned, did this monkey still have a little bit of etiquette? Didn't his master teach him to pay attention to his words and deeds in front of people? A monkey is a monkey, and he will always be a monkey! Even if he cultivates to the realm of the Three Flowers Gathering Peaks!

Zhenyuan Daxian was talking to the four Bodhisattvas, and the next time the Yuan Shi Tianzun of the Shangqing Palace explained the matter of the mixed Yuan Dao Fruit, he heard the old mother of Lishan on the side suddenly stopped talking, so he turned his head and looked over, and saw that they were looking at the stone monkey and Maitreya Buddha.

So Zhenyuan Daxian and the four Bodhisattvas also saw the stone monkey and Maitreya Buddha hooking shoulders and laughing.

Zhenyuan Daxian didn't take the stone monkey to heart when he first saw it, but just thought that the stone monkey was the younger brother of Lishan's old mother. Looking at the cultivation of the stone monkey, it is okay, and it is not weak compared to himself, the ancestor of the earth immortals. But monkeys are monkeys after all.

At this moment, looking at the stone monkey again, Zhenyuan Daxian's gaze obviously changed. This is an innocent monkey! a monkey who can make friends!

The four bodhisattvas just smiled at this and said, "Amitabha!"

The stone monkey just heard Maitreya Buddha say, "Color, emptiness, precepts, desire, etc.", which can be summed up in one sentence: color is emptiness, and emptiness is color. As soon as he wanted to open his mouth to refute, he heard the surroundings suddenly fall silent, and there seemed to be only his own heartbeat in the world.

The stone monkey couldn't help but turn his head to look around, only to see that the rest of the people were looking at themselves, or more precisely, at their own arm on the shoulder of Maitreya Buddha.

The stone monkey couldn't help but retract his arm and smiled awkwardly. I don't know why I retract my arms, why do I feel so embarrassed?

Then everyone withdrew their gaze, returned to the topic they had just talked about, and began to talk again.

Maitreya Buddha said to the stone monkey: "This is the color! The stone monkey donor's heart is not empty!"

The stone monkey didn't want to continue this topic, so he couldn't help but interrupt: "Why hasn't Venerable Muggallian come back yet?

Maitreya Buddha didn't answer this, just looked at the stone monkey with a smile.
