Chapter 35 Buddha compromises and prepares to negotiate

However, it is said that Shakyamuni Buddha saw that the ancient Buddha and others were beaten by the Notre Dame and others, and Maitreya Buddha was even worse. He was immediately angry and did not care about his identity, and directly cursed in the Daxiong Treasure Hall. After Shakyamuni Buddha calmed down a little, the old Buddha opened his mouth to persuade him. It was okay not to persuade the ancient Buddha. This advice immediately made the anger in Buddha Shakyamuni's heart burn again, even if he wanted to scold again.

At this time, the mother of the Buddha was talking to the Buddha of Sakyamuni. After listening to the words of the Buddha's mother, Shakyamuni did not care about his anger and hurriedly asked the mother of the Buddha.

At the moment, the Buddha's mother meditated for a moment and said to Shakyamuni Buddha, "Apprentice, go and discuss with the disciples of the sect and see how they promised me to pass on a few scriptures." After saying this, the face of the Buddha's mother, who was far away from the chaos, was also slightly red, and she scolded shame.

When Buddha Sakyamuni heard the words of the Buddha's mother, he was stunned on the spot. After a long time, Shakyamuni Buddha came to his senses and asked in disbelief, "The teacher asked his disciples to discuss with the interceptors of Buddhism how many scriptures I have passed on?" The tone was full of doubts, and there were even some doubts about whether this was the voice of the Buddha's mother.

The Buddha's mother also heard the disbelief in the tone of Shakyamuni Buddha, and was slightly embarrassed. Finally, she said unwillingly, "Alas! I have no choice but to be a teacher. Although I have many Buddhist disciples, my cultivation is average, which can't be compared with the disciples. If you can't beat the disciples, how can you complete my teaching plan?

When Buddha Shakyamuni heard these words, his face suddenly turned red with shame, and he couldn't reply.

When the Buddha's mother saw this, she continued to say, "I just went to discuss with Laozi as a teacher. I wanted to let people and the disciples of the second religion help you fight against the disciples of the sect, but Laozi's attitude was extremely firm, and he failed to agree in the end. After a discussion with your master, I had no choice but to decide to compromise with Jie Jiao. After saying that, the Buddha's mother shook her head and sighed faintly, and her tone was full of helplessness.

Hearing this, Buddha Shakyamuni's face kept changing, and finally became ferocious. He asked, "In this way, we will give up this preaching. When we plan next time, I owe the cause and effect of my religion, and I am not afraid that they will not help my teaching."

Seeing this, the Buddha's mother sighed in her heart, and then said solemnly, "Apprentice, you should remember that this preaching is the only opportunity for my Buddhism. In any case, I will definitely complete this preaching, otherwise there will be no chance."

When Buddha Shakyamuni heard the words of the mother of Buddha, he was secretly shocked, and then bowed his head and meditated. After a while, Shakyamuni Buddha sighed in his heart and then asked, "Please tell the disciples what the bottom line of my teaching is, so that the disciples can discuss with the interceptors." After saying that, Buddha Sakyamuni sighed and looked extremely depressed.

When the Buddha's mother saw that her beloved disciple was like this, she was also uncomfortable, but what could he do? Do you want to do it yourself? If so, there is no need to trouble him, and Daozu Hongjun will kill him immediately. With these concerns, the Buddha's mother has no choice but to accept the facts.

At the moment, the Buddha's mother said to Shakyamuni Buddha, "It's better to have seven, seven or forty-nine parts. If there are more parts, it's natural. The lowest part should not be less than six, six or thirty-six. This is the bottom line. It's up to you."

Sakyamuni Buddha listened and nodded, "I know."

Seeing that Shakyamuni Buddha was not very interested, she comforted him: "The disciple doesn't need to do this. If it is agreed this time, the disciple will no longer have to worry about the journey to the west. In this way, he can practice at ease, waiting for the opportunity of the growth of the heavenly way soon."

Hearing this, Shakyamuni Buddha moved the corners of his mouth slightly, and finally sighed, "I understand."

In fact, Shakyamuni Buddha is very shrewd. Compared with the great luck, the opportunity for the growth of the heavenly way is dispensable. After all, if the great luck is prosperous, the Buddhist disciples will definitely practice very quickly, but the opportunity is much stronger than a period of time. How to choose a fool can see, not to mention that he is the master of teaching?

After the order of the Buddha's mother, the divine consciousness was withdrawn, and the others were arranged by the Buddha of Sakyamuni.

Buddha Shakyamuni sensed the withdrawal of the divine consciousness of the Buddha's mother, so he turned his eyes back to the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

When everyone in the Daxiong Hall saw that Shakyamuni Buddha finished speaking with the ancient Buddha, they sat on the throne, with their eyes without focus, and they did not say a word. Seeing this situation, everyone present was a little puzzled. Only the light-burning ancient Buddha seemed to find something. His eyes flashed at Shakyamuni Buddha, but everyone did not disturb him, but waited quietly in the hall.

At this time, when everyone saw that there was brilliance in the eyes of Buddha Shakyamuni, there was a burst of spirit. They pricked up their ears one after another and waited for Buddha Shakyamuni's order.

Shakyamuni Buddha glanced at the people present, then turned his eyes to the Lantern Ancient Buddha and others, and said lightly, "Mune no Amitabha Buddha, Lantern Ancient Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Puxian Bodhisattva will stay, and the others will disperse." With that, he turned to the Monkey King and smiled, "Wukong, you go down with Ananda to rest. It is said that the poor monk will go to Huangfengling to save your master." Speaking of this, Buddha Shakyamuni blushed slightly, but immediately recovered.

Sun Wukong and everyone present were somewhat dissatisfied when they heard this, but they did not dare to violate the decree of Shakyamuni, so they had to get up and retreat one after another. Sun Wukong also retreated with Ananda and went to the side hall to rest.

After everyone left, Shakyamuni Buddha ignored the lantern-burning ancient Buddha and others, but turned to Jiaye beside him and said, "Mu Amitabha Buddha, please go to the East China Sea and tell the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit that the brothers of the poor monks will go to visit together to talk about the journey to the west." After a pause, he continued, "Let the useless Virgin and others in Huangfengling go. As for Tang Sanzang, you don't have to ask him to be released, just leave him as a hostage."

Jia Ye listened to the words of Shakyamuni Buddha. Although he had many questions in his heart, when he saw the face of Shakyamuni Buddha, he immediately endured it and said respectfully, "There is no Amitabha Buddha, and I will abide by the Buddha's decree." After saying that, he bowed and left the hall.

As soon as Na Jia Ye left, the lamp-burning ancient Buddha asked Shakyamuni Buddha, "Is the Buddha going to negotiate with the interception? Do you want to agree to the conditions mentioned by Yun Xiao before?

When Buddha Shakyamuni heard this, his face was gloomy and he said hatefully, "Other than that, we have no other way." After saying that, his face was full of unwillingness.

Hearing this, the lamp-burning ancient Buddha and others were shocked. They saw the lamp-burning ancient Buddha hurriedly said, "Buddha must not. How do twenty-five scriptures explain my Buddhism? What's the difference between this and not preaching? In contrast, even if we give up this transmission, it is better to plan again!"

Buddha Shakyamuni waved his hand and sighed, "The poor monks of the ancient Buddha have also thought about it, but the Buddha's mother has just made it clear to the poor monks that this is the only opportunity. If this transmission fails, then Buddhism will have a second chance. The compromise to the interception is also ordered by the Buddha's mother, and it is useless for us to object.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they were silent. Only Puxian Bodhisattva said unwillingly, "What on earth does the Buddha's mother think? Since this transmission is not effective, why don't you let me give up? The old saint and the primitive saint owe our cause and effect. They are not afraid that they will not support it. The ancient Buddha also knows this matter, but why do they have such a wrong plan? After saying that, he looked at the crowd with a puzzled face.

When everyone heard this, there was also a sense of doubt in their hearts, and they looked up at the Buddha Sakyamuni.

When Buddha Sakyamuni saw this, he was unwilling to explain more, and said directly, "Well, there is no need to discuss this matter. You should go back and prepare for it. It is clear that you will set off with the poor monks and go to the East China Sea to negotiate with the interception." With that, his eyes swept over the crowd. When he saw Maitreya Buddha, he paused slightly and said, "Mai Le, you go back to the dojo and have a good rest. You don't need to participate in this matter."

Maitreya Buddha also knew his situation at this time and did not force it. He nodded and said, "I know it."

Shakyamuni Buddha glanced at Maitreya Buddha, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. Finally, he sighed and waved his hand and said, "Let's disperse." After saying that, he got up and walked out.

Seeing this, the ancient Buddha and others no longer stopped and got up and walked out.

Besides, Jiaye came out of the Daxiong Hall and flew to the East China Sea. A few hours later, he came to Jin'ao Island, the Taoist temple of the Holy Mother of Guiling. A Taoist boy in Qingyi had already been waiting outside. When he saw Jia Ye coming, he drove the cloud to greet him and saluted, "I have met Taoist friends."

Seeing this, Jia Ye did not dare to neglect it. He bowed back and said, "I have met Taoist friends. The poor monk came to visit the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit by the decree of the Buddha."

The child nodded with a smile and said, "Come with me." After saying that, he went to the island. Seeing this, Jia Ye hurried to follow up.

After a while, the two came to the island and entered the hall. After seeing the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit, Jiaye hurriedly said, "The Buddha sat down and saw the Virgin Mary." After saying that, he bowed and saluted the Virgin Mary of the Turtle. Moreover, his body trembled slightly. In the face of the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit, known as the first person of the four religion, it is no wonder that Gaya is so nervous.

Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit answered faintly, then waved her hand to the seat next to her and said, "Taoist friends are lucky to come from afar. Please sit down."

Hearing this, Jia Ye made a slight audit, and then came to his seat and sat down.

After Jia Ye sat down, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit asked, "I don't know why you are here?"

When Jiaye saw the question of the Turtle Spirit, he hurriedly replied, "The Buddha ordered the little monk to come and spread the message, saying that he would discuss the journey to the west with the Virgin Mary and others."

Hearing this, the Virgin Mary of the Turtles glanced at Jia Ye slightly. Jia Ye was looked at by the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. The Holy Mother of the Turtle continued to ask, "I don't know what Sakyamuni's Taoist friend said?" After saying that, he stared at Jia Ye.

Jia Ye was stared at by the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit, and his heart was extremely flustered. He replied, "Buddha also said that the Virgin Mary and others were invited back, and everyone discussed together. As for Tang Sanzang, he was kept as a hostage, and the Virgin Mary did not need to be released. After saying that, he hurriedly turned his face aside and dared not face the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit.

The Virgin of the Turtle Spirit listened, her heart moved slightly, and then smiled and said, "I know that I know the poor Taoist. Please tell the Taoist friend of Shakyamuni. Ming said that we will wait for you at the poor Taoist field." After saying that, he looked at Jia Ye with a smile.

Hearing this, Jia Ye hurriedly got up and said, "In this case, the little monk will go back and tell the Buddha."

The Virgin of the Turtle also saw that Jia Ye seemed to be afraid of her divine consciousness, so she wanted to leave quickly. She couldn't help but feel a little funny, but she was not embarrassed with her. She said, "Poverty Taoist wanted to keep a Taoist friend to drink a cup of tea before leaving, but since she still has to return to life, the poor Taoist way is not forced to stay. Taoist friends, please help yourself."

Jia Ye hurriedly said, "Thank you for the beauty of Our Lady. Say goodbye, little monk." After saying that, he left in a panic.

Looking at Jia Ye's panicked back, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit smiled, and then said to the boy in Qingyi beside her, "Qingyi, you go to Huangfengling for a walk. Please come to my dojo without being an uncle, Uncle Jinling and Uncle Yunxiao. It means that you want to negotiate with Buddhism and invite her to come here to discuss."

The boy in blue nodded and said, "Yes!" After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hall and flew to Huangfengling.

After the boy in blue left, the Virgin Turtle Ling waved out a jade slip, flew to the east, and then smiled and said, "Ha ha! I'll see you tomorrow!" After saying that, he closed his eyes and went to practice.
