All the leaders of the eleven sects went to Samantabhadra to complain. Samantabhadra also had a headache. He really didn't want to provoke the evil star Fang Jian.
"The current situation in Nanzhan Continent is that Xuanjiao is in the east and Buddhism is in the west." Samantabhadra Bodhisattva said: "They themselves don't care about the inheritance of Xuanjiao. What can we, the Buddhist sect, do? He wants to kill Fang Jian. Just let him kill you."
The biggest thing at the moment is the overall layout of Nanzhan Continent, because in order to prepare for the coming offensive of the Heavenly Court, the Xuanjiao itself has given up on the inheritance of the Dharma, so there is no need for the Buddhist sect to take care of it.
"But that Fang Jian wants us all to move to Dongsheng China." A leader said: "Bodhisattva, if we go to Dongsheng China, it will never be possible for us to take refuge in our Buddha."
"Yes, that Dongsheng Shenzhou is under the control of heaven, and Buddhism is strictly prohibited. When we go there, we can only cultivate it again."
"I hope the Bodhisattva will have mercy and show his disciples a clear path."
"Ask Bodhisattva for mercy."
The heads of the eleven sects all knelt down and worshiped in the main hall. Their piety made the surrounding disciples of Samantabhadra change their expressions slightly.
Even though Puxian Bodhisattva really didn't want to face Fang Jian, this scene made him quite helpless. In short, he still felt a little unable to get off the stage.
"Okay." Puxian Bodhisattva sighed slightly and said, "The poor monk will set up a vegetarian restaurant on the cliff of Sacrifice and invite Master Hongqing to come to the banquet. Then he will say one or two things to you."
Upon hearing this, all the leaders quickly bowed to the ground and said, "Thank you Bodhisattva for your kindness."
"Don't thank me yet." Puxian Bodhisattva said: "Na Hongqing has a more stubborn temper than the Bull Demon King. Even a poor monk may not be able to persuade him."
A leader quickly said: "The Bodhisattva's merits are unparalleled and his kind name broadcasts throughout the three realms. As long as the Bodhisattva speaks, Master Hongqing will definitely listen."
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva glanced at this man indifferently, his face was calm but he didn't say much. He just raised his hand and pointed and said: "You should go back first and wait for the decree."
When all the masters heard this, they immediately bowed their heads and said, "Disciple, please leave."
As the leaders left, Puxian Bodhisattva immediately ordered his disciples to prepare a fasting banquet at Sheshen Cliff, and brought out almost all the good things that the Emeishan Taoist Temple could produce.
Immediately afterwards, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva ordered his disciple Jingna to go and invite Fang Jian to Mount Emei for a banquet.
Jing Na soon arrived outside Cangluan Peak. When he saw the thousands of corpses hanging on Cangluan Peak, he turned pale with fright. He clasped his hands and chanted several Buddhist chants to steady his mind.
Then Jingna came to the Heavenly Soldiers of Cangluan Peak and said: "Thanks to Master Hongqing, the poor monk Jingna, following the decree of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva in Mount Emei, came to welcome Master Hongqing to Mount Emei for the Bodhisattva's feast."
The Heavenly Soldiers quickly informed Fang Jian, and then Jingna was brought to Fang Jian by the Heavenly Soldiers.
Fang Jian was sitting in the cave at this time, watching and pondering the poem Zhu Ziyun left for Baimei Zhenren. When he saw Jing Na coming in, he immediately smiled and asked: "How is the Bodhisattva lately?"
Upon hearing this, Jingna immediately knelt his hands and bowed: "Master Lao Hongqing, I would like to ask. The Bodhisattva has been preaching the Dharma recently and practicing the Great Way. It is very good."
"That's good, that's good, but although Bodhisattva is very good, I'm not very good." Fang Jian said with a slight smile.
Jing Na immediately heard the dissatisfaction in Fang Jian's tone, so he quickly said: "Amitabha, Master Hongqing's face, Bodhisattva learned that Master Hongqing's Dharma came to Shushan, and specially set up a banquet for Master Hongqing at the Sacrifice Cliff of Mount Emei. To receive the wind and wash away the dust, I specially ordered the young monk to come to greet you."
Fang Jian raised his brows and asked, "Oh? Zhaiban? Will you receive the wind and wash away the dust for me? The Bodhisattva is really thoughtful, and Fang Jian is flattered."
"Master Hongqing's words are serious. The Bodhisattva has something to say. Master Hongqing is an old friend of his. Now that he is in the lower realm, he should hold a banquet to entertain him. I ask Master Hongqing not to refuse." Jingna bowed and said.
Fang Jian smiled 'haha', and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Well, since it is the Bodhisattva who is hosting the banquet, how dare I make the argument. The Bodhisattva is rewarded for his work, so he said that Fang Jian will personally visit Mount Emei to attend the banquet in an hour. .”
Jing Na's face lit up with joy when he heard this, and he immediately bowed and said, "Yes, the young monk will go back and resume his life right now."
As Jing Na left, Hei Hai'er immediately said to Fang Jian: "Isn't it the Hongmen Banquet? I'm just waiting for you to go to the banquet, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva will break the cup as a sign, and then rush out three hundred Arhats to hack you to death, sir?"
"Hahaha." Fang Jian laughed out loud when he heard this, and then he said to Hei Haier: "Don't talk about three hundred Arhats. Even Three Thousand Arhats can't hack me to death so easily."
Hei Hai'er said: "Then I'd better go with you, master. If there are really three thousand Arhats then, I will help you carry a few knives. It will be considered a great achievement."
Fang Jian smiled and then put away the fairy jade scroll.
An hour later, Fang Jian brought Hei Hai'er to Mount Emei, and saw that the disciples of Samantabhadra were already waiting outside the mountain gate, from Jinxian to Taiyi Jinxian, all the way from the mountain gate to Sheshen Cliff.
"The scene is quite big." Hei Haier, carrying the three-sided giant axe, followed Fang Jian and said while looking at the Buddhist gods of Mount Emei who were waiting for him along the way.
Fang Jian said calmly: "The bigger the scene, the more requests you have for others."
Hei Hai'er expressed his confusion, "For a person as powerful as Bodhisattva, what else does he ask of you?"
Fang Jian smiled slightly and did not answer, because they had already arrived at the Cliff of Sacrifice. Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, wearing a jade cassock, with a Buddha illuminating the world behind his head, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a solemn appearance, was already waiting for him in front of the Cliff of Sacrifice.
Fang Jian immediately flew forward and landed on the Sacrifice Cliff. Then he bowed to Samantabhadra and said, "Fang Jian pays homage to the Bodhisattva."
Puxian Bodhisattva stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Fang Jian's arm to help him up, then pulled Fang Jian to the jade case and said: "Master Hongqing, you don't have to be polite, please sit down."
"Thank you Bodhisattva." Fang Jian bowed his head and then sat down in front of the jade case filled with various vegetarian and fairy fruits.
At this time Samantabhadra smiled at Hei Hai'er again and said, "Could this be the second prince of the Bull Demon King, Hei Hai'er?"
Fang Jian nodded and said: "Exactly, he is the boy next to me now."
After saying that, Fang Jian said to Hei Hai'er, "Tong'er, why don't you pay your respects to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva?"
When Hei Haier heard this, he immediately slammed the three-faced giant ax on the ground, and then paid homage to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva: "Hei Haier pays homage to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva."
Samantabhadra laughed and said, "Hei Hai'er, your family is also related to our Buddhist sect. Your brother Hong Hai'er is currently practicing at the Guanshiyin Bodhisattva in Nanhai."
Hei Hai'er didn't have a deep impression of his real brother, because the two brothers rarely met twice, and even when they did meet, it was just a quick salute.
So after hearing Puxian Bodhisattva's words, Hei Hai'er just responded lightly: "Oh, he's not familiar with him."
Puxian Bodhisattva smiled again, and then ordered: "Set up a case for Hei Haier."
"Yes." One of the disciples responded respectfully, and then set up a jade table for Hei Hai'er and placed various delicacies and immortal fruits on it.
"Please, Hei Boy." Puxian Bodhisattva pointed at the jade case at the bottom and said to Hei Boy.
Hei Hai'er immediately turned to look at Fang Jian. Fang Jian smiled and said, "Since the Bodhisattva asked you to sit, then just sit down. Remember to thank the Bodhisattva."
"Oh." Hei Haier responded, then bowed to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva: "Thank you, Bodhisattva." After saying that, he walked to the jade table and sat down.
As Hei Haier sat down, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva raised a jade cup filled with lotus seeds and said: "Master Hongqing, here are the three wonderful golden lotus seeds of the poor monk. They have been tempered by the true fire of Samadhi. They are fragrant, waxy, soft and crisp. You might as well try them." try."
With that said, Samantabhadra himself picked up a Samwonderful Golden Lotus Seed from the jade cup and put it into his mouth.
When Fang Jian heard this, he picked up two golden lotus seeds from the jade cup on the jade table and put them into his mouth. As expected, they were soft and fragrant, and after the lotus seeds were chewed, there was a majestic fairy aura. It spreads out from the mouth, down the throat, enters the internal organs, and then blends into the limbs, bones, muscles, blood and flesh.
This is a treasure that nourishes the physical body, Fang Jian kept his expression calm, but thought in his heart, no wonder Roaring Sky Dog wants to take the elixir refined from Sanmiao Golden Lotus Seeds, because the medicinal power of Sanmiao Golden Lotus Seeds is extremely helpful in strengthening the physical body. .
"The Bodhisattva entertained Fang Jian with so many three wonderful golden lotus seeds. Fang Jian was really flattered." Fang Jian said to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva waved his hand and said: "Although the Three Wonderful Golden Lotus Seeds are precious, if they can enter the mouth of Master Hongqing, they are considered to be full of merit and virtue. As for the value, it is just common opinion, so why bother."
Fang Jian smiled and said, "Having said that, the hands of those who take the food are short, and the mouth of the one who eats it is soft. I ate the Bodhisattva's Three Wonderful Golden Lotus Seeds, and my mouth became soft."
"Hahaha." Puxian Bodhisattva said with a smile: "Master Hongqing is really funny. Come on, Master Hongqing, please have another glass of vegetarian wine."
Having said that, Master Samantabhadra raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. Naturally, there was wine in Buddhism, but it was just 'vegetarian wine'.
Fang Jian picked up the wine glass and drank a glass of plain wine, and then said to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva: "Bodhisattva, if Fang Jian's prediction is correct, you held this banquet to entertain Fang Jian because of the relocation of the eleven sects in Shushan. Bar?"
Puxian Bodhisattva put down his wine glass, and then said with a serious face: "Yes, Master Hongqing, can you just consider the poor monk's face and stop the discussion of the eleven sects' eviction?"
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately put the wine glass slowly on the table, then the smile disappeared from his face, he looked at Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and said: "I, Fang Jian, gave you the Bodhisattva's face as early as when the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Buddha. It was me and Emperor Li Hong of the Tang Dynasty who also gave Bodhisattva and the Buddhist sect in Shu a great deal of face. But what did Bodhisattva do afterwards? Bodhisattva, you didn’t give me Fang Jian face!”
At this point, Fang Jian's tone became colder and he said: "There is also Emperor Li Hong of the Tang Dynasty who also gave the Bodhisattva face. As a human emperor, he has now even lost his life."
"Excuse me, Bodhisattva, how do you explain this to me?"
Fang Jian looked directly at Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, his tone was slightly cold, and he spoke bluntly without being polite at all.
