Chapter 36 Ghosts guess, negotiations start
However, it is said that Shakyamuni Buddha was allowed to mention the Buddha's mother, and he had to compromise with the interception, and the ancient Buddhas and others were a little dissatisfied with this. In fact, not to mention the few of them, even Shakyamuni Buddha himself did not want to do so, but after listening to the explanation of the Buddha's mother, coupled with his own speculation, he also knew the dilemma of Buddhism, and finally had no choice but to accept the truth. After that, Shakyamuni Buddha sent the attendant Kaya to talk to the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit and prepare for negotiations.
After Jia Ye arrived at Jin'ao Island, she conveyed the meaning of Shakyamuni Buddha. When the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit learned the meaning of Shakyamuni Buddha, she was also slightly happy. If they could really reach an agreement, they would no longer need to be distracted by the journey to the West. In this way, they could safely prepare for the growth of Tiandao in the near future. Such an opportunity, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit, etc. Naturally, people are unwilling to give up. Therefore, the Virgin Mary of the Turtle even agreed to negotiate with Buddhism.
Jiaye got the approval of Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit, so he went back to the West to report. The Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit also sent a boy in blue to Huangfengling to invite the Virgin Mary, the Virgin Mary of the Golden Spirit and Yunxiao to come back. At the same time, she sent a jade slip to Wuyunxian, and then waited for everyone to come.
A few hours later, all the five relatives of the disciples under Tongtianmen arrived, and Wu Yunxian brought his disciples, the ghosts and Taoist, which was specially ordered by the Holy Mother of the Turtle. This genius and Taoist is very intelligent, but the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit wanted to hear his opinion this time, so she ordered the dark cloud fairy to bring it. However, after the genius Taoist met everyone, he was a little embarrassed. Everyone present was the second generation of disciples, and he was the only one who was the third generation of disciples, so the genius Taoist was a little restrained.
At the moment, after everyone sat down, the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit said directly, "Just now, Sakyamuni sat down and the waiter Kaya came here and agreed to negotiate with me. I don't know what do you and sisters think?" After saying that, he looked at the crowd with a smile.
As soon as the voice of the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit fell, the Virgin of the Virgin asked in a hurry, "Sister, has Buddhism agreed to the conditions of Sister Yunxiao? How is this possible?" Yunxiao beside her also looked incredible. You know, she was just a joke before. She just wanted to annoy the Lantern Ancient Buddha and others. I didn't expect Buddhism to agree to such harsh conditions.
Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit shook her head and said, "That's not the case. In my opinion, Buddhism will not agree to the conditions of Sister Yunxiao. I think she will bargain with us."
After listening to the words of Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit, everyone present nodded secretly. If it was really according to the advice of the sky, the preaching of Buddhism would be completely useless, and Buddhism would naturally not agree. However, Yunxiao's previous words revealed a trace of intention to make peace talks, so Buddhism came to discuss with them. Thinking of this, everyone's eyes lit up and said secretly, "If we negotiate so clearly, we can gain the upper hand and entangle with the Buddhist people." After thinking about it, everyone looked happy.
At this time, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit opened her mouth again and asked the crowd, "But we'd better find out the bottom line of Buddhism first, so that we can fight for the best ending. I don't know what you and sisters think of the bottom line of Buddhism?" After saying that, he looked at everyone with an expectant face.
After listening to the words of Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit, everyone's hearts moved, and then they bowed their heads and meditated.
After a moment, the Virgin Mary looked around the crowd and finally stopped at the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit and said, "In my little sister's opinion, the bottom line of Buddhism should be the number that the teacher had previously set with me. When the previous sister Yunxiao said the twenty-five parts, the Buddhist people reacted very fiercely. Presumably, this number must be far from the number expected by Buddhism, so the Buddhist people were so excited. In this way, even if it is increased to thirty-six parts, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet its requirements. The forty-nine parts should not be bad.
After listening to the analysis of the Madonna, everyone nodded secretly and said yes, with a look of approval on their faces.
After the Virgin Mary of the Turtle finished speaking, she kept paying attention to everyone's expressions and saw that everyone present seemed to agree. However, the ghost Taoist, the disciple of the Dark Cloud Fairy, just bowed his head and said nothing. When the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit saw this, her heart moved and asked her, "The ghost talent and nephew seems to have another opinion. Let's talk about it."
When the Virgin and others heard this, they were slightly stunned, and then turned to the ghosts and Taoist people one after another.
When the genius Taoist saw that everyone was looking at him, he was slightly uncomfortable. He adjusted his mood slightly, and then said, "I think that the bottom line of Buddhism should not be so high. If the bottom line is really seven, seven or forty-nine, I'm afraid he will not negotiate with us. After all, what Uncle Yunxiao said before is no more than twenty-five, and the two are the same. It's far away. Under such conditions, Buddhism is still willing to negotiate with our religion, which shows that it must be impatient or have no choice. Therefore, the disciples believe that Buddhism will not set the bottom line so high.
When the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit and others heard this, they all bowed their heads and thought about it.
After a long time, everyone came to their senses and heard the Virgin Mary ask again, "What does the master and nephew think the bottom line of Buddhism be?" After saying that, he stared at the ghost Taoist with his eyes, and the others also looked at the ghost Taoist with burning eyes.
Seeing this, the genius Taoist bowed his head and thought for a moment, and then said, "In the disciple's opinion, the bottom line of Buddhism should be between thirty-six and forty-six. It's neither high nor low. As for how to negotiate, it depends on the teacher and your uncles.
The Virgin Mary and others all smiled when they heard this. After laughing, the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit said to the crowd, "In this way, all the brothers and sisters will go to rest. Let's fight with Buddhism again tomorrow. If the negotiation is completed, we will also complete the teacher's trust."
Hearing this, everyone got up one after another and said, "I will obey the order of the elder sister (the elder uncle)." After saying that, everyone withdrew from the hall and went to find a place to rest.
The next morning, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit invited the crowd again, but the genius did not come here. However, because they have to negotiate with Buddhism immediately, and the genius and Taoist are only one or three generations of disciples, they naturally can't attend.
After everyone got together, they began to discuss how to negotiate with Buddhism. Not long after, I saw the boy in Qingyi enter the hall and reported: "Teacher, Buddhist Shakyamuni Buddha and the ancient Buddha are already outside the island. I don't know how the teacher will arrange it?"
Our Lady of the Turtles nodded and said, "Just invite them directly here."
The boy in blue took the order and then left the hall.
After a while, Shakyamuni Buddha, Lantern Ancient Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Puxian Bodhisattva came together. Seeing this, the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit and others put on a hypocritical smile one after another, got up to salute with Shakyamuni Buddha and others, and Sakyamuni Buddha and others returned their salute one after another. After the ceremony, everyone sat on both sides.
After everyone sat down, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit opened her mouth and asked Sakyamuni, "Yesterday, the Taoist friend ordered people to talk about the journey to the west with the poor Taoist brothers and sisters, but I don't know how the friend intends to discuss it?"
Shakyamuni Buddha first glanced at the people present, then looked at the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit and said lightly, "There is no Amitabha Buddha. The transmission of Buddhism has been approved by four saints, but the Taoist friends and you have blocked it in every way. The poor monk had no choice but to come to discuss with his Taoist friends."
Hearing this, the Virgin Mary of the Turtle Spirit raised her eyebrows slightly, and she was even more angry in her heart. She said coldly, "Daoyou came here to say this? If so, please help yourself. Let's meet on the battlefield!" In the end, the Virgin Mary of the Turtles had a fierce face and stared at Sakyamuni Buddha unkindly. And other disciples also looked at Shakyamuni Buddha with an angry face and said to himself, "It's you who proposed to negotiate with us, but it's really unreasonable to say such words at this time."
When Buddha Sakyamuni heard the words of the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit, he was also furious. This matter was obviously the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit and others who provoked first and destroyed his Buddhist preaching. What's wrong with his words? Seeing that the people of Jiejiao looked bad, and their hearts were even more angry, so they were about to be angry. In their minds, they suddenly remembered the order of the Buddha's mother, so they had to endure it.
And the burning lamp ancient Buddha and others on the side also looked at the interception people with a nervous face. They secretly complained that Shakyamuni Buddha was too radical. After saying a word, they were already at war. How can they negotiate like this? Thinking of this, the ancient Buddha frequently glanced at Shakyamuni Buddha.
Buddha Shakyamuni had also calmed down at this time, reluctantly smiled at the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit, and then said, "Taoist friends, don't be angry. The poor monk came to your brothers this time. Naturally, he negotiated with Taoist friends and others with sincerity, and then he lost his words. I hope you can forgive me." After saying that, there was another burst of anger in Buddha Shakyamuni's heart, but more ashamed. He thought that his dignified master was so low-spirited. What kind of face did he have to be in charge of the great religion?
When the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit saw the apology of Shakyamuni Buddha, her face suddenly turned around and she smiled and said, "Taoist friends don't need to be polite, but it's a little radical." After a pause, he then asked, "Daoyou, I'd better get to the point quickly."
Shakyamuni Buddha nodded and said, "In this way, the poor way will no longer beat around the bush." After saying that, Shakyamuni Buddha slightly pondered the poor way, and then continued to say, "The previous Yunxiao Taoist friends said that if the scriptures handed down by my Buddhism were set as twenty-five books, the Taoist friends and others would no longer be embarrassed with my Buddhism"
Before Sakyamuni Buddha finished speaking, he listened to the interface of the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit and said, "Yes, the meaning of Sister Yunxiao is the meaning of poverty. Did the Taoist friends agree? If so, the poor Tao will definitely restrain the disciples of the religion and no longer be embarrassed by those who take the scriptures! You can rest assured of this. After saying that, he looked at Shakyamuni Buddha with a smile, and the Virgin Mary and others also looked at Shakyamuni Buddha with a smile on their faces, with a slightly narrow expression.
When Buddha Shakyamuni heard this, he scolded secretly in his heart, and he was even more embarrassed to see everyone's expression like this.
When the ancient Buddha saw the embarrassment of Shakyamuni Buddha, he hurried out to relieve the siege and said, "The difference between what the Taoist friends said is that the poor monk told Yunxiao's Taoist friends earlier that this condition is too strict, and I can't agree to it this time"
Before the lamp-burning ancient Buddha finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit again. He only heard the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit say coldly, "Since you Taoist friends don't want to agree, what else can we discuss? Are you Taoist friends here to entertain me? After saying that, the face of Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit changed in vain, and the momentum of her whole body suddenly dispersed and pressed down on the Buddhist people. At the same time, the Virgin Mary and others also spread their momentum, joined the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit, and pressed the Buddhist people.
When Shakyamuni Buddha and others saw this, they were all secretly shocked, and then they were also secretly guarded.
For a moment, the scene became tense again, but when they saw that the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit and others were like frost, staring at the Buddhist people fiercely, and the Buddhist people saw that the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit and others were not good-faced, and they were also secretly on guarded. If the two sides disagree, they will go to war
