Lingshan, inside Daleiyin Temple.
After sending Kong Xuan away, Tathagata flew back alone.
Although the disaster he was responsible for was not completed, Tathagata did not care about the eyes of the surrounding Buddhas.
I am a Buddha, I believe no one dares to speak rudely to me.
However, after seeing Maitreya, Tathagata's face suddenly darkened.
At some point, Maitreya actually sat on his own lotus platform, holding Lingji Bodhisattva in his arms, with a sanctimonious look on his face, as if he was the Buddha of Lingshan. It was so natural.
An anger suddenly appeared on Tathagata's face.
I saw Maitreya slowly opening his eyes, seeing the Tathagata coming back, he was extremely calm and composed, and said with a smile: "Buddha, are you back?"
"If I don't come back, do you want to change the world?" Tathagata's chest gradually began to rise and fall.
Maitreya showed disdain on his face, "Buddha, you have seen it, the catastrophe of Journey to the West is not so easy to complete. Usually you always punish us for not doing things well, but now? Haven't you not completed the catastrophe?"
Maitreya's words were completely mocking Tathagata.
But he doesn't know it and thinks he doesn't dare to punish you, Tathagata. Why can't I say a few words to you?
Staring at Maitreya with an expression that meant he wanted to be beaten, Tathagata answered the question in a different way and said word by word: "Fat Mi, why are you sitting on my lotus platform? Don't you have a lotus platform of your own?"
The Tathagata's lotus throne is the Buddha's fruition status and the symbol of the spiritual mountain's leadership.
Maitreya felt slightly uncomfortable.
"Buddha, you see you don't even dare to answer our questions directly."
Tathagata repeated again, "I ask you again, why do you want to be my lotus platform?"
"I..." Maitreya couldn't say anything for a moment.
Before Tathagata was away, he was ordered to take charge of Lingshan, and he also wanted to taste the feeling of being a Buddha on a whim.
I have to say, it feels great to be admired by thousands of people.
As a result, he became a little distracted, thinking that even if Tathagata came back, he would only say a few words to him and would not do anything to him.
But at this moment, seeing that murderous look, Maitreya was obviously a little scared.
Sit on your lotus platform for a while. You should be fine, right?
So Maitreya said cautiously: "Buddha, before you left, you told me to let me temporarily take charge of the overall situation of Lingshan. You won't forget it, right?"
"I haven't forgotten. I'm just asking you, why are you sitting on my lotus platform?"
"Didn't you ask me to take charge of the overall situation of Lingshan?"
Tathagata's face was as gloomy as water, "I asked you to take charge of the overall situation of Lingshan, and I didn't let you sit on my lotus platform."
Who knows, Maitreya replied again, "If you don't let me sit on your lotus platform, how can you let me take charge of the overall situation of Lingshan?"
At this moment, the anger in Tathagata's heart completely exploded.
In the eyes of Maitreya, it may be nothing, but in the eyes of Tathagata, Maitreya's actions feel like he is seeking power and usurping the throne.
Looking at the past dynasties, who among the leaders would not feel uncomfortable?
"You, come down here." Tathagata shouted immediately.
Maitreya was so frightened that he had to jump down from Tathagata's lotus platform.
"Give Lingji Bodhisattva to Ran Deng."
Maitreya said oh, turned around and put Lingji Bodhisattva into the arms of Ran Deng.
Tathagata glanced at Ran Deng and said, "Buddha Ran Deng, please take your children and stay away. Children cannot watch violent and terrifying scenes."
Hearing this, Ran Deng immediately showed a gloating expression, hugged the child and walked away.
When the Buddhas in the Mahavira Hall heard this, their hearts rose to their throats.
"It depends on the situation. Buddha wants to beat Maitreya."
"Oh, it's true that Maitreya Buddha also insists on making Buddha unhappy."
"If it were me, it was too late to hide, how could I still hit the gun? Maitreya is too stupid."
The Buddhas communicated with each other, showed mercy, and began to pray for Maitreya.
Maitreya's expression suddenly changed when he saw this scene. He couldn't help but take two steps back, looked at Tathagata and said, "Buddha, what are you going to do?"
Tathagata didn't speak. As he walked forward, a mace appeared in his right hand.
Maitreya's eyes widened immediately. No matter how stupid he was, he could still figure out what Tathagata was going to do next.
Maitreya stepped back step by step, his voice hesitant, "Buddha, please don't act recklessly. With so many people watching, it will have a bad influence. Buddha, you'd better stop. The saint asked me to assist you. The two of us should live in harmony, but Qian... ah……"
Before he finished speaking, Maitreya let out a scream.
This time, Tathagata didn't hold back. He took a mace and beat Maitreya violently.
At this point, even if Maitreya uses saints as shields, Tathagata will not be afraid. Anyway, he is still the real Lingshan Buddha.
After a while, Maitreya returned to his lotus platform with a pig's head on his head.
All the Buddhas looked at him without speaking, as if they only had two words in their eyes: It deserves it.
Maitreya's behavior was too offensive.
"Huh, if I don't hit you, I'm sorry for my hands." Tathagata held the mace on his shoulders and sat on his lotus platform. The scene was particularly horrifying.
At this moment, all the Buddhas are fully aware of this.
That is Tathagata and Maitreya, both have reached the point where fire and water are incompatible.
When Tathagata sat on his throne, he also began to think about the reasons for his failure this time.
During this disaster in the Zhuzi Kingdom, everything was developing according to plan.
However, a Guanyin Bodhisattva came out halfway.
If Guanyin had not gone to the Xiezhi Cave in Qilin Mountain in advance to do ideological work for Jin Guangxian, it would have been impossible for Jin Guangxian to surrender without fighting, let alone to worship Marshal Tianpeng as his teacher.
Therefore, the main culprit for the failure of the disaster is Guanyin.
Thinking of this, Tathagata frowned.
This Guanyin has been going her own way since she was reborn, and has become more and more outrageous.
"Samantabhadra Bodhisattva." The Tathagata looked at Samantabhadra and said, "Go to Pansiling and observe to see if Guanyin Bodhisattva is there."
Tathagata suspected that Guanyin might continue to act as a demon in Pansi Cave.
"Buddha, why are you looking for Guanyin?" Samantabhadra asked in confusion.
"Go find Guanyin. If Guanyin is at Pansiling, come back and inform me. If Guanyin is not there, go find him. Don't let him go to Pansiling as you waste time."
"Seeing that you won't come back, I will go to Pansiling personally to take charge of this problem."
Tathagata said.
Pu Xian thought for a while and understood what Tathagata meant.
Just drag Guanyin and don't let him go to Pansiling to destroy the disaster. The Buddha will still be responsible for the next disaster.
"Follow the Buddha's decree."
Samantabhadra performed a Buddhist ritual, turned around and left.
Seeing Samantabhadra leaving, Tathagata looked towards the Eighteen Arhats. He wanted to call out to the Arhat, the Dragon Subduing Arhat, but suddenly he remembered that he had demoted the Arhat Subduing the Dragon to the lower realm, and he has not heard from him until now.
Helpless, Tathagata had no choice but to call him Fuhu Arhat.
A fat and white monk came out.
The Tathagata came to Fuhu and said, "Fuhu Arhat, go and summon Pilanpo Bodhisattva and tell her that I have something to ask her."
"yes."
Crouching Tiger Arhat also turned and walked away.
The following disasters in Pansi Ridge and Huanghuaguan were because they were too close to each other, so in the plan, the spider spirit and the centipede spirit in Pansi Cave had social relations with each other.
Although the spider spirit is the son of Guanyin, the centipede spirit is the mount of Vilamva.
But the two disasters are complementary to each other, and neither can be lost.
