Chapter 22 Buddha's theory of the holy throne, defeat and return
However, it is said that Guang Chengzi and others came to the North Underworld Sea and persuaded the demon master Kunpeng to come out of the mountain and fight with him against the interception. However, although Kun Peng was very interested in this, he finally refused the invitation of Guang Chengzi and others.
In the end, Kun Peng just gave Guang Chengzi and others an illusory 'promise', and then sent everyone away. Guang Chengzi and others were unaware of it. After getting Kun Peng's 'commitment', they left happily.
Just when Guang Chengzi and others came to the North Minghai, Buddhism Shakyamuni Buddha and others had also traveled to the five villages.
Look at the solemn and magnificent view of the five Zhuangguan in front of you, and then look at the couplets in front of the door - Zuo said: Immortal Immortal Mansion.
On the right: Yu Tiantong Shou Dao's family.
Horizontal criticism: When Yu Shi Tongjun Shakyamuni Buddha and others saw this, they all praised secretly in their hearts and thought, "It's worthy of being the ancestor of the earth's immortals, the same generation as all the saints." After thinking about it, everyone stopped staying and went straight into the audience to see Zhen Yuanzi.
Unfortunately, after everyone entered the audience, they were told that Zhen Yuanzi had been closed for a long time and did not see the guests again.
Hearing this, Buddha Sakyamuni frowned and thought to himself, "This town of Yuanzi's cultivation is a big help for us to deal with the interception, and we must not give up!"
Thinking of this, Shakyamuni Buddha must be in his heart, so he said to Qingfeng and Mingyue, "I'm sorry to trouble the two fairy children and Zhenyuan Immortals, saying that Shakyamuni Buddha and others came to visit, and there is a big deal to discuss with them." After saying that, Shakyamuni looked at the two with a sincere face.
Listening to this, Qingfeng and Mingyue were in a dilemma. When Zhen Yuanzi was closed, he warned him not to disturb his practice. But the expression of Shakyamuni Buddha seen at this time, the two of them also knew that there must be something important to discuss with Zhen Yuanzi. In this way, the two of them were punished after being afraid of disturbing Zhen Yuanzi. On the other hand, he was afraid of missing the major event of Zhenyuanzi, and he still had to be punished. The two of them can be said to be left and right. I don't know what to do!
When Buddha Sakyamuni saw the expressions of the two, he thought for a moment and knew their concerns, so he said again, "Two fairy children, don't worry, the poor monks will explain to the immortals about disturbing the immortals of Zhenyuan, and will never involve the two fairy children. What's more, the poor monk really has a lot of urgent things to discuss with the immortals this time! This poor monk can be guaranteed.
Qingfeng and Mingyue listened to this, and it was not easy to say anything more. They looked at each other and said helplessly, "You Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have orders, and we should obey." After saying that, the breeze was left here to serve everyone's tea, and the bright moon went out of the hall and went straight to the retreat of Zhenyuanzi.
After a while, Mingyue came to a secret room. After hesitating for a long time, he saw Mingyue gritting her teeth and said loudly, "Master, disciple Mingyue has something to see!" After saying that, Mingyue looked carefully at the door of the secret room.
After a while, a slightly angry voice came from the secret room: "The poor road is not ordered to go down, no one is seen!" This voice is the voice of Zhen Yuanzi. However, it is rare to hear Zhen Yuanzi so angry.
In fact, it is also presible for Zhen Yuanzi to be so angry. Soon, there will be two big opportunities. One is the growth of the way of heaven, and all the monks will benefit from it and greatly increase their cultivation. And the other game is even more amazing, which is the battle for the throne. In this way, Zhen Yuanzi naturally needs to prepare for it. But now, before he could be closed for a long time, the bright moon came and interrupted his practice. How can Zhen Yuanzi not be angry in such a situation?
The bright moon outside the secret room naturally heard the anger in Zhen Yuanzi's voice. Her heart suddenly tightened and she hurriedly said, "Master, forgive me. The Buddhist Shakyamuni Buddha and others came to visit and said that there was something important to discuss with the master. The disciple did not dare to make his own decision, so he had to spread it to the master. With that, Mingyue was almost in a cold sweat. Although Zhen Yuanzi is famous for his good temper, it is because of this that his anger is even more frightening.
At this time, Zhen Yuanzi, who was in the secret room, heard the words of the bright moon, but he frowned slightly and said secretly, "Why did this Shakyamuni Buddha and others come here?"
Suddenly, a flash of light in Zhen Yuanzi's mind, but he thought that not long ago, it was rumored that Kun Peng, the demon master of the Northern Underworld, had formed an alliance with the Master of the Asura, the Master of the Styx River, which was a sensation. Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help thinking, "Is it possible that Buddhism also intends to form an alliance with the poor Taoism and compete for the holy throne together?"
Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzi frowned deeper. He didn't want to ally with anyone. No matter how powerful he was, no matter how powerful he was, Zhen Yuanzi didn't want to. Because Zhen Yuanzi didn't know how to face his 'comrades-in-arms' who fought side by side after competing for the holy throne.
This is Zhen Yuanzi, who pays too much attention to principles and is even a little pedantic. In those years, Tongtian once criticized Zhen Yuanzi: The road is difficult, how can you hesitate at all? Zhenyuan Zixu is a respected immortal, but he will never become a respected saint.
However, you can't blame Zhen Yuanzi either. What can you do? Just like the good man at the beginning, when the Zixiao Palace, even if he did not give up his seat, he would eventually fall. This is the problem of a person's surname. As the saying goes: it is easy to change the surname. Even if Xiang Yu is given a thousand chances, he is not Liu Bang's opponent, which is the truth.
At present, Zhen Yuanzi thought for a long time and said cruelly, "Go and tell Shakyamuni Buddha and others that the poor Tao is at the critical moment of cultivation and can't entertain them. If there is anything important, let's talk about it after the poor get out of the customs. Zhen Yuanzi didn't want to waste time, so he refused directly. This is the first time that Zhen Yuanzi has offended others.
The bright moon outside the secret room listened to Zhen Yuanzi's words, and he was stunned. He thought that Zhen Yuanzi heard Shakyamuni Buddha and others coming, and he would definitely go out of the customs to greet him! But he didn't expect that Zhen Yuanzi didn't want to see Shakyamuni Buddha and others this time. This surprised Mingyue and worried about it. She was afraid that Zhen Yuanzi would blame him for coming to spread it after she left the customs.
At this time, Zhen Yuanzi in the secret room said again: "After that, whoever comes to see you will block it back, and you don't have to spread it again!" Of course, when the saint asked for a visit, Zhen Yuanzi naturally did not dare to neglect it, but how could the saint come to find Zhen Yuanzi for no reason?
Hearing this, Mingyue no longer dared to say more. She hurriedly replied, "I obey the order." After saying that, he hurried to the hall.
After sensing that the bright moon outside the secret room had gone away, Zhen Yuanzi no longer paid attention to this matter and continued to practice.
Zhen Yuanzi didn't know, but he guessed wrong this time. Although Shakyamuni Buddha and others came to form an alliance with him this time, this alliance was not for the matter of the throne, but to deal with the disciples of the sect with him.
However, even if Zhen Yuanzi knows, judging from his surname, I'm afraid he still has this attitude.
In the Wuzhuang Hall, Shakyamuni Buddha and others are leisurely drinking tea and waiting for Zhen Yuanzi to come.
Unfortunately, everyone waited for a long time, but still did not see Zhen Yuanzi, which made Shakyamuni Buddha and others a little strange. They thought that they also knew Zhen Yuanzi and knew that he was quite hospitable. When they learned that Shakyamuni Buddha and others were coming, they would come in a hurry to entertain everyone.
But now I haven't seen Zhen Yuanzi for a long time, which made everyone a little surprised and thought to myself, "Is it possible that Zhen Yuanzi has really practiced to the critical moment? It's impossible! Listening to what the two boys said, Zhen Yuanzi hasn't been closed for a long time. How can it be so fast!" Thinking about it, everyone couldn't help frowning.
Suddenly, the bright moon ran in from outside the hall in a panic.
When Shakyamuni Buddha and others saw the bright moon, they were shocked together, and then looked behind the bright moon.
Unfortunately, Shakyamuni Buddha and others are doomed to be disappointed this time, but there is no trace of no one behind the moon.
When Shakyamuni Buddha and others saw this, they all had some bad foreboding in their hearts, and then looked at the bright moon together.
Sure enough, Mingyue gasped for a moment and said to Shakyamuni Buddha and others, "In return to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the master said that he was in retreat at a critical moment, but he could not go out to meet each other. If there is any major event, wait for the master to leave the customs and then discuss with the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. I hope all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will forgive me!"
After listening to the words of the bright moon, the faces of Shakyamuni Buddha and others all changed, and even the breeze beside them showed a surprised expression.
Zhen Yuanzi has lost the face of the Buddhist people this time. Thinking that all of them came to Wuzhuangguan, they ordered people to spread the words of Zhenyuanzi, saying that there was something important to discuss, but now Zhenyuanzi doesn't want to see them. How can Shakyamuni Buddha and others feel embarrassed?
After that, if this matter is spread out, Shakyamuni Buddha and others will definitely lose face, and the immortals will definitely say, "Hahahaha! Those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism went to Wuzhuangguan and said that there was something important to discuss. But Zhenyuan Daxian didn't even bother to listen! Obviously, in the eyes of Zhenyuan Daxian, the 'imminative things' in the Buddhist population are a little insignificant and not worth listening to. In this way, the people of Buddhism have lost their face.
Thinking of this, Shakyamuni Buddha and others looked very bad, and they looked at the breeze and the bright moon.
After a while, Shakyamuni Buddha's anger decreased slightly. Then he looked at the breeze and bright moon beside him and reluctantly smiled and said, "Since the Zhenyuan immortals are in a hurry to practice, the poor monks and others will not disturb them. Let's go." After saying that, without waiting for the two to reply, they greeted the ancient Buddha and others and walked out of the hall.
Qingfeng Mingyue looked at Shakyamuni Buddha and others who did not look back. They looked at each other with a wry smile and said secretly, "Alas! What's the matter, my lord? After thinking about it, the two of them ignored this matter and began to pack up the tea sets in the hall... Besides, after Shakyamuni Buddha and others came out of the five palaces, they directly flew to the heavenly court.
On the way, the Buddha said that the Buddha was a little angry with Zhen Yuanzi's attitude and said fiercely, "That Zhen Yuanzi is too arrogant!" Unexpectedly, he didn't even see me waiting for me, and said that there was a true king. It's really ridiculous!" After saying that, the Buddha's face was full of anger, and he turned around and stared at the Wuzhuang view, which was no longer visible.
Several other people listened to the words of the Buddha, and they also looked indignant. Obviously, they were very dissatisfied with Zhen Yuanzi's attitude.
Shakyamuni Buddha's face changed for a while, and finally sighed, "The world of flood and famine is respected by the strong! The strength is not good, and it is useless to say this.
When the Buddha heard this, he was slightly dissatisfied and said, "Why did the Buddha say this? The Zhen Yuanzi is just a quasi-saint who cut off two corpses. Among us, there are four people who are equivalent to their cultivation. He was just born earlier than me. What can he do for? With that, the Buddha showed a contemptuous expression.
After listening to the words of the Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha glanced at him slightly and said lightly, "The Buddha is more confident than that Zhen Yuanzi?"
