Heaven.
In the Lingxiao Palace.
Taibai Jinxing stepped forward, bowed to the Jade Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to see the ancient Buddha who lights the lantern in the west."
"I knew it, let him in."
The Jade Emperor had already known the reason, and now he was holding his chin, looking calm.
Soon, Ran Deng walked in.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
Ran Deng performed a Buddhist ritual.
The Jade Emperor glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Landeng Ancient Buddha, you have been visiting my heaven quite frequently during this period."
Ran Deng didn't say anything, but he said mmp in his heart.
The Tathagata makes him run to heaven whenever something happens, and he doesn't even ask for someone else to do it. What can he do?
Besides, Jade Emperor, you are an old boy who is not sincere. After all, you are an ancient Western Buddha and the former deputy leader of the Chan Sect. I have been here several times, but which time have you not scolded me away?
Ran Deng murmured in his heart, if nothing happened, who would be willing to come?
However, he did not dare to say these words openly, so he clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to tell you something important."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
The Jade Emperor crossed his legs without looking at the burning lamp, and his tone clearly sounded like he was asking questions knowingly.
Ran Deng rolled his eyes inwardly.
"I, the Western Dragon-Subduing Arhat, just found out the news that the one-horned Si in Jindou Cave in Jindou Mountain in the lower realm was recalled by Taishang Laojun, so the Buddha sent Lao Na here to ask what the reason was."
Burning lanterns indicates your intention.
"Oh, it turns out that's what happened. Maybe I care about my mount."
The Jade Emperor obviously knew.
Ran Deng cursed in his heart, is it because Taishang Laojun cherishes his mount that he should break his promise and recall Qingniu?
And it was done secretly, without saying anything in advance.
This disaster in Jindou Mountain was already discussed between Heavenly Court and Buddhism.
"Your Majesty, Heavenly Court and Buddhism have already agreed on this matter. Now the pilgrims are about to arrive at Jindou Mountain. Can Your Majesty inform Laojun and ask him to arrange the Qingniu in the lower realm again?"
The Jade Emperor calmed down and said in a deep voice: "I guess not."
"Why?" Ran Deng looked confused.
From the Jade Emperor's tone, it was obvious that he was deliberately teasing him.
You have to fight for it. If you just go back like this, you can't tell him directly. It's because Taishang Laojun cherishes his mount and regrets it, right?
"There's no reason. I just don't want to cooperate with you this time."
The Jade Emperor frowned slightly.
It was indeed his suggestion to Taishang Laojun to recall Qing Niu.
After all, Shen Gongbao was killed inexplicably, and Che Chiguo's incident caused Tianting to suffer huge losses, and he was very angry.
Long before that, he had sent people to explore the lower realms.
I learned that a branch of the Mietian Sect appeared in Chechi Kingdom, and it was established by Marshal Tianpeng. Since Marshal Tianpeng is now a member of the Buddhist sect, the Mietian Sect naturally also belongs to Buddhism.
In this way, it seems that Buddhism has not gained any benefits, but in fact it is the biggest winner.
The Jade Emperor was so angry that this happened.
"Your Majesty, do you want to have a good talk?" Ran Deng asked.
"There's nothing to talk about. Just go."
The Jade Emperor showed no respect at all.
"Your Majesty..." Ran Deng wanted to say more, but was directly interrupted by the Jade Emperor.
"I already told you that I don't want to talk about it. Get out of the Lingxiao Palace right now." The Jade Emperor roared violently.
Ran Deng was stunned for a moment, the Jade Emperor really got angry whenever he disagreed.
"Your Majesty, I..."
"You bald donkeys, get out of here right now, what nonsense are you talking about?" the Jade Emperor was angry.
"Gufo, please go ahead. Your Majesty doesn't want to talk about this now." Taibai Jinxing also stepped forward to persuade.
Ran Deng frowned.
This is the first time I have been yelled at. Jade Emperor, are you polite?
After another encounter, Ran Deng had no choice but to perform a Buddhist salute and turn around to leave.
"These bunch of bald donkeys don't want to cooperate if they don't want to cooperate. They just refuse to leave and make me angry." The Jade Emperor rolled his eyes.
When Ran Deng heard this, his face became even more livid and his pace couldn't help but speed up.
The surrounding immortals stared with strange expressions.
Ran Deng finally returned to Lingshan angrily.
"Reporting to the Buddha, the Jade Emperor just said that he did not want to cooperate with my Buddhist sect this time. He did not give any specific reasons. He only said that the Supreme Lord cherishes his mount..."
Ran Deng gave a satisfactory reason for the trip.
Tathagata blinked a few times, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"That's it?"
Ran Deng nodded.
Tathagata frowned. Just because of this, Heaven went back on its previous agreement?
Obviously the reason is not that simple.
If Buddhism has offended Heaven in any way, it must be what happened to Che Chi Kingdom last time.
"This old boy, Jade Emperor, does hold a grudge."
Tathagata cursed secretly in his heart.
The Jade Emperor resented what happened to the Chechi Kingdom last time, but the problem was that Buddhism didn't seem to get a share of the Chechi Kingdom.
Tathagata was very depressed about this.
Qingniu has been recalled, and no one in Jindou Mountain will cause trouble for the Buddhist pilgrims. What should we do?
The Che Chiguo incident is considered a secret, and not many people know about it.
At this moment, Dingguang Happy Buddha on the side seemed to have guessed some reasons. He pondered for a moment and then walked out.
"Buddha, since the Supreme Lord has recalled Qingniu, why not leave this problem to me?" Dingguang said happily to the Buddha.
The Tathagata looked toward the Dingguang Joyful Buddha, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"What good advice does Happy Buddha have?" Tathagata asked with a smile.
When Dingguang Huanxi Buddha saw Tathagata's smile, he couldn't help but feel the hairs on his hair standing on end.
Naturally, he would not forget the last time Tathagata was angry and hit him. At that time, Tathagata's eyes almost killed people, but now he was smiling.
“Is it possible that the end of spiritual practice is moodiness?”
Dingguang Happy Buddha couldn't help but think so in his heart.
"Buddha, I suspect that the youngest one among the seven fairies in heaven is now in the group of Buddhist scriptures. If we attack him, it will be of great help to our Buddhist sect in taking away the destiny of heaven."
These words were told to the Tathagata through the sound transmission of his spiritual consciousness by Buddha Dingguan Huanxi.
Tathagata's eyes lit up again.
"You mean, the one in purple?" Tathagata also replied.
Dingguang Happy Buddha nodded.
Dingguang Huanxi Buddha secretly did some shady things, a large part of which Tathagata, as the leader of the Buddhist sect, naturally knew.
All along, Dingguang has been trying to find ways to attack Ziyi, but he has failed every time.
At this moment, Tathagata heard that Ziyi was actually among the Buddhist scripture-seeking team. While he was confused, he saw an opportunity.
"That being the case, it would be a joy to work and rejoice in the Buddha."
Tathagata and Dingguang looked at each other, both showing mysterious smiles.
Most of the Buddhas around them looked strange, wondering what their two Buddhas were planning.
Then Dingguang Huanxi Buddha left Daleiyin Temple.
Western heaven.
Somewhere in a corner.
There is a very ordinary cave here, but the surroundings of the cave are full of curses. This curse is very powerful, and it vaguely connects the heaven and the earth, causing the surrounding space to change rapidly.
Therefore, no one who is a quasi-sage or below can enter this place.
However, Dingguang Huanxi Buddha and Dong Yong had long been friends, so when they came now, they walked in easily.
Soon, a pale man appeared deep in the cave.
The man was running exercises to heal his injuries.
