"This is heaven, not a place where you can run wild..."
At this time, the Jade Emperor sighed uncharacteristically, as if he felt sorry for the performance of Lin Biao and Nuo Lan just now.
"Jade Emperor." Lin Biao bowed his hands upwards. This was his first salute since the two came here. However, compared to Erlang Shen, it was more like a formality and not respectful at all. "We have no intention of getting involved. In the midst of the disputes in the heaven, we have no interest in the fight between the Buddhist and Taoist families. The reason why we came to the heaven is just to listen to the teachings of Yuanshi Tianzun entrusted by the Buddha. I hope that the Jade Emperor will understand clearly and not change simple things. Things are complicated."
"I once had the honor to meet Taibai Jinxing and promised him that we would not join Buddhism or enter heaven. This promise is still valid today. Even if you want to eliminate the risk invisible, you should think about it If it will cause more trouble, please think twice before doing so."
Lin Zhuo said this very quickly. He probably had already made a plan in his mind before deciding to meet the Jade Emperor. However, the Jade Emperor interrupted before he finished speaking, which seemed a bit offensive.
The Jade Emperor's eyes narrowed, as if he did not expect that the other party could point out the crux of his heart in one word. Putting these words under the sun is equivalent to directly breaking the tacit understanding between Tianting and Lingshan.
Lin Biao naturally did it on purpose.
If this matter cannot be revealed as soon as possible, then the team will still have endless troubles in the future. It will still be like now. The troubles seem to have nothing to do with the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but they are not separated from the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.
"Lingshan and Heaven have always been on good terms, and the four heavenly kings guard the four heavenly gates of Heaven all the year round. How can there be the so-called dispute between Buddhism and Taoism you mentioned?" The Jade Emperor said, but he didn't know that he was speaking to everyone in the hall. Yes, you are still deceiving yourself.
After a pause, he continued: "However, the two jade plates in the Lingxiao Palace have disappeared for no reason. The thief has not been found yet, so you two cannot leave yet. We will release you free after the matter is investigated. How about that?" ?”
The Jade Emperor's words reminded Lin Zhuang of a cross talk by Lao Guo, which probably said that when a tiger meets a little rabbit on the road, he slaps him in the face and asks him, "Why don't you wear a hat?"
The rabbit felt wronged. The next day when he went out wearing the hat, he was hit by the tiger again. As a result, he received a slap in the face again. He was asked who asked you to wear the hat?
The rabbit felt aggrieved and turned to ask the fox for help, but saw the fox giving the tiger advice. It made no sense to hit people like this. He had to find a more reasonable way to meet again.
For example, if you ask a rabbit for a tigress, if the rabbit is fat, hit him and tell him why he didn't find a thin one. If he is skinny, hit him and ask him why he didn't find a fat one.
When the rabbit heard this, he ran away quickly. It turned out that the fox and the tiger were from the same family.
The next day, the rabbit met the tiger again, and the tiger asked him to find a tigress for him.
This time the rabbit was smart and asked him if he wanted a fat one or a thin one?
As a result, the tiger gave the rabbit a mouth and asked him: Why don't you wear a hat? ?
The Jade Emperor was worried about the team and had no way of trusting them. Even with Lin Biao's promise, he was still unwilling to let the team go free.
There can be many reasons, and of course the most shameless and straightforward reason is also the most useful one.
Since the two jade plates haven't been found yet, you just stay here. You can forget about other things, but not this matter.
Lin Biao frowned slightly.
As long as you don't fall out with the Jade Emperor directly, there is room for change no matter what happens, whether it is the matter of the four marshals or the matter of the Giant Spirit God just now. However, now that the Jade Emperor has come to the end in person, both parties have been The buffer middle zone is compressed to an infinitesimal size. If there is no longer a reason, I am afraid that the gap between the team and the heaven will inevitably be forged.
Lin Biao naturally did not believe that Lingxiao Palace would really lose two jade plates. In other words, once Lin Biao and Nuolan were captured, it would be up to the other party to decide how to let them go free.
This is absolutely unacceptable to him.
After the Jade Emperor said these words, the room fell silent instantly.
The Jade Emperor didn't seem to be in a hurry, with an unwavering expression on his face, as if he was waiting for Lin Biao to make the final decision.
Erlangshen still stood aside indifferently, and it seemed that the things here could not worry him at all.
On the contrary, those ferocious generals were looking at Lin Zhu and the two of them as if they were facing formidable enemies. They slowly raised the weapons in their hands. It seemed that as long as the two people in front of them dared to make the slightest move, they would attack them like lions. The two of them were killed with the power of fighting rabbit!
Lin Biao knew that he had made a mistake.
In other words, he did not expect that the Jade Emperor would actually dare to attack the team at such a high cost. Lin Biao had already given him a multiple-choice question. Either he would get nine potential helpers, or he would get nine more powerful enemies. The Jade Emperor chooses himself.
If Lin Biao and Qi Zhen had heard what Taishang Laojun said about the Jade Emperor's fundamental appeal, he would not be confused as to why the Jade Emperor would be so insistent on keeping the team out of the whole incident, even if it means restricting their lives. become free.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Biao still couldn't come up with a good way to break the situation. It seemed that a war between the two sides was inevitable.
He raised his head and smiled at Nuolan.
Then a radiant Buddha crown lit up above his head.
"Amitabha."
This time it was the Jade Emperor's turn to look solemn.
He probably didn't expect that the two young men in front of him would really dare to imitate the lawless monkey, and they were preparing to cause trouble in heaven.
Just as the two sides were at war with each other, something unexpected happened.
In other words, before the two sides could really get into a tense situation, a figure appeared on the Lingxiao Palace.
He said the four words "Amitabha" almost at the same time as Lin Biao, and it sounded like an echo of Lin Biao's words.
The few heavenly generals surrounded the two of them the moment Lin Zhuang said the Buddha's name, and naturally also surrounded the man in the center.
It was a plainly dressed monk, his feet were bare, and his exposed skin was like white jade. He looked extremely ordinary but extremely unusual.
"There's some excitement here," he said.
The moment he appeared, the ground of Lingxiao Palace seemed to shake, as if a castle in the air was crumbling.
The Jade Emperor's expression was finally no longer so indifferent, he stood up and said to him: "I don't know if the Bodhisattva has arrived, but I am not far away to greet him."
"The Jade Emperor is welcome," the monk said.
Everyone in the monk team is familiar with this, because they have seen this great power in the Eight Hundred Huangfengling. It is the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva who makes the heaven and earth move!
I just didn't expect that even when he came to Lingxiao Palace, he would still be the same as before, and he almost overturned the place!
But the Jade Emperor didn't seem to feel the vibration in the Lingxiao Palace. Instead, he smiled and said, "Bodhisattva Shi Zhizhi has been in heaven for a long time. I wonder what I can teach you this time?"
"Tang Xuanzang and his party have passed Huangfengling, and I helped him recover the yellow wind monster. The yellow wind monster was originally a golden-haired mink practicing at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. It is indeed my Buddhist responsibility. I came here to inform the Jade Emperor." The situation is approaching. The Bodhisattva lowered his eyebrows and said, without raising his head and looking directly at the other person, let alone Lin Biao and the other two.
"That's it." The Jade Emperor nodded, "As a Bodhisattva, I wonder how good Amitabha is?"
"Everything is well, World Honored One. Please worry about the Jade Emperor." Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva said, "The poor monk will leave now, so as not to delay the Jade Emperor's affairs."
He put his hands together in a salute, said goodbye, and then turned around to leave.
But before leaving, he muttered something in a low voice: "Someone asked me to tell you that when Buddhists cultivate their morality and self-discipline outside, they must not lose face as a Buddhist."
These words were not loud, but they echoed clearly in the ears of every god present.
Then the figure of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva disappeared from the place.
"Yes, Bodhisattva."
Lin Biao, who was afraid that the Jade Emperor would pretend to be confused despite his understanding, bowed in the direction where Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva was leaving, with an imperceptible smile on his lips.
The Jade Emperor's heart sank to the bottom.
What about the yellow wind monster in Huangfengling eight hundred miles away? The Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva clearly came to Lingxiao Hall to remind him that this Buddhist disciple indeed represents Buddhism. If the Jade Emperor dares to touch him, it is equivalent to a naked provocation to Buddhism.
Although Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva said only a few words, his attitude was fully expressed.
Especially the origin of Guan Yu's Yellow Wind Monster clearly clearly clarifies the ownership relationship with Heaven.
We are responsible for our affairs. No need, it is not your heavenly court’s turn to take care of it!
But the Jade Emperor had nothing to do with him.
When it comes to governing the heavenly court, the ten Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattvas combined are not as good as him, but when it comes to combat power, the same ten Jade Emperors are not even as good as him.
From the beginning to the end, Yang Jian just watched with his eyes, nose and heart. It seemed that everything had nothing to do with him. However, when Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva appeared, his hand holding the three-pointed two-edged sword tightened slightly, but that was all.
"Report!"
A heavenly soldier walked up to the hall slightly anxiously.
"What's the matter?" The Jade Emperor sat back in his seat and asked with a sad face.
"A visitor from Yuqing Realm wants to see the Jade Emperor." The Heavenly Soldier did not dare to neglect and said.
This time the Jade Emperor was really shocked.
The expressions he looked at Lin Zhu and the two men finally no longer looked like looking at ants.
It’s just a matter of bothering people from the Buddhist sect. Why did it even alarm Yuanshi Tianzun from the Taoist sect?
Who are these two young people in front of me, and why do they have so much energy?
"Please." The Jade Emperor said in a deep voice. He seemed to finally understand why the two people in front of him had been so disrespectful after meeting him. Sure enough, he had something to rely on.
Lin Zhuang had never seen the person who came here, just because he looked too... ordinary. If he had seen him, he would definitely recall him.
The Taoist was dressed in purple robes and walked into the hall with a smile.
