"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the West is by no means a reckless and unintelligent person." Taibai Jinxing bowed his hands to the Jade Emperor: "So in my humble opinion, the Emperor of the West came to earth alone, which is not a big deal. You should be prepared secretly."
The Jade Emperor pondered for a while and nodded slowly: "What I love you said makes sense."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Taibai Jinxing flattered him a little, and then said worriedly: "However, this time Lingshan asked me to help the Heavenly Court to apprehend the key criminal, it was obviously intended for the Emperor of the West. Even though the Emperor of the West was on guard, The foundation is also too shallow, and Buddhism has a lot of great power. If it is not good for the Emperor of the West..."
The Jade Emperor said calmly: "Xi Ji is the emperor of heaven whom I personally anointed. No matter how powerful the Buddhists are, they would not dare to openly deal with the emperor of Xi Ji. Regarding the matter of Sun Wukong, I have already made enough concessions to Buddhism. .This time, if Buddhism continues to ignore my face, no one will have anything to say if I do something to Buddhism.
"Therefore, the best Buddhism can do is secretly plot against Xiji, and they will never dare to blatantly murder people. But if they plot secretly, they cannot do their best. Faced with the Buddhist plot that cannot do its best, if Xiji can defeat the plot, it will have passed my test. . If he can’t... just consider it a misunderstanding and leave him to fend for himself!"
…
At the same time, Qin Ran, who was flying rapidly in the mortal world, suddenly changed his expression and stopped escaping.
A Buddha with a fat head, big ears and a big smile was standing in front of him, blocking his way.
The Buddha, who has a fat head, big ears, a charming smile, and a particularly plump figure, has a very distinctive image. People can recognize his identity at a glance. He is none other than the future Buddha Maitreya Buddha among the past, present, and future Buddhas of Buddhism!
Maitreya is sitting on a white nine-grade lotus platform, flanked by two Bodhisattvas. They are the two great venerables in Maitreya's Pure Land, the Bodhisattva of the Lotus Forest and the Bodhisattva of the Great Wonderful Appearance.
Three powerful Buddhist figures blocked the road with unclear intentions. Although Qin Ran's face remained calm, he was already on alert.
He stood tall in the air, with his hands behind his back, looking expressionlessly at Maitreya Buddha and the two Bodhisattvas, Fahua Lin and Great Miaoxiang. He did not speak, waiting for them to come to greet them. As the emperor of heaven, his status was nominally second only to the Jade Emperor. As a big shot, of course he has to put on a show.
"The poor monk has seen the Emperor of the West." Maitreya Buddha, Fahualin Bodhisattva, and Great Wonderful Appearance Bodhisattva congratulated each other.
"Without courtesy." Qin Ran said calmly: "I wonder why the three of you blocked my way?"
"The emperor's words are serious, how can the poor monk dare to block the emperor's way?" Maitreya said with a smile: "The poor monk just has something to do, and I hope the emperor will fulfill it."
Qin Ran said one word calmly: "Say."
Maitreya's smile became more and more friendly, and he said harmoniously: "The poor monk observes that the emperor has a predestined relationship with Buddhism. I wonder if the emperor is willing to convert to Buddhism?"
"Huh?" Kieran narrowed his eyes, slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and revealed a sarcastic smile: "Maitreya, do you know the identity of this emperor?"
Maitreya smiled and said, "Of course this poor monk knows."
"I don't see you clearly! Otherwise, why would you say such ridiculous things?" Qin Ran sneered: "I am the emperor of heaven, beneath one person and above tens of thousands of people. You actually want me to convert to Buddhism? What an idiot! "
Hearing Qin Ran's words, the eyes of the two Bodhisattvas, Fa Hua Lin and Da Miao Xiang, flashed with anger.
Maitreya, on the other hand, always maintained his cheerful look with a wide smile, and said with a smile: "In the heaven, the emperor is still under one person, and he can never be a great deity. But my Buddhism is vast, and I have boundless pure land and paradise. Emperor. If you enter Buddhism and achieve enlightenment, you can become the lord of a paradise world and rule the boundless Buddhist kingdom. Even in the future, how do you know that you cannot become the Buddha's World Honored One?"
Maitreya's words were not just words.
There are many Buddhas in Buddhism, and each Buddha has his own paradise. In his own paradise, behind closed doors, he is the master of his own world. The position of the Buddha's World Honored One is also passed down from past, present, and future to each other.
If Maitreya becomes the World Honored One in the future, then he will be the "present" Buddha. After him, another "future" Buddha will appear.
So Maitreya is now using the title of the Lord of the Realm and the "Future Buddha" to seduce Qin Ran.
It's a pity that despite Maitreya's words, Qin Ran remained unmoved and said coldly: "I understand the kindness of Maitreya Buddha. It's just that I
The emperor did not practice good deeds in his life, but only loved murder and arson. In the role of the Emperor of Heaven, it is also a matter of conquest and killing. How can you enter Buddhism if you have a murderous intention and no good thoughts? This emperor still has a mission in heaven, Maitreya, please step aside! "
"The sea of suffering is boundless, but when you turn around, you will find the shore. Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately." Maitreya bowed to Qin Ran, his smile still bright: "The poor monk believes that one day, the emperor will achieve great enlightenment and convert to Buddhism."
After that, he took the two Bodhisattvas and stepped aside, pretending to be respectful.
Qin Ran took a deep look at Maitreya, flicked his sleeves, and walked away.
Watching Qin Ran's retreating light, Fahualin Bodhisattva sent a message to Maitreya with his spiritual thoughts: "Buddha, just let him go like this?"
Maitreya's smile did not change, his eyes showed no annoyance, and he replied: "What else can we do if we don't let him go? This time we came here on the order of the Tathagata, and we were just to test the Emperor of the West's view of our Buddhism. Attitude, it seems now that he is indeed deeply hostile to Buddhism!"
The Great Wonderful Appearance Bodhisattva was shocked: "In that case, why didn't the Buddha just capture him and bring him back to the Pure Land to suppress him?"
"Haha, how can we really do something to him!"
Maitreya raised his head and glanced at the sky with a smile: "Heaven, there are eyes watching. Once the West Pole is moved, the hidden Great Heavenly Lord will probably have an excuse to let us see how powerful he is. .”
The Great Wonderful Appearance Bodhisattva had a solemn expression: "Xiji has just ascended to the throne of emperor not long ago, his foundation is not yet stable, and his cultivation is only at the level of a true immortal. If we don't subdue him while his foundation is shallow and his cultivation is low, he will have full wings in the future. , after you reach a higher level of cultivation, it becomes more difficult to deal with!"
Maitreya said with a smile: "Since we know that he is the enemy of the Buddha, we will not allow him to continue to grow. However, we do not need to worry about this matter. Someone will take care of subduing him. We will return to the Pure Land and wait for the Western Pole to reach the sea."
After Qin Ran went away, he looked back in the direction of Maitreya Buddha, "Is this... courtesy first and then fighting? However, in my perception, how come these golden immortals are all about the same strength? Is it an illusion?"
Then he shook his head again, "There are many powerful people in Buddhism. If they try to harm me secretly, I have to guard against them."
After walking forward for another half day, the destination of this trip, the hiding place of Guanyin, was reached at Shengkong Mountain.
"Unexpectedly, this bottomless pit in Xingkong Mountain is actually a natural paradise!"
Qin Ran stood in mid-air, looking around, admiring in his mouth.
At this time, he had gone deep into the bottomless cave of Xingkong Mountain, and this place was suddenly a natural cave with bright sky and the fragrance of birds and flowers. The environment is elegant, with beautiful mountains and rivers, Qiongzhiyao grass everywhere, and full of fairy spirit.
