One hour, two hours, three hours... two days.
The hot pot feast at Yuxuguan not only has no intention of stopping, but has intensified and turned into a feast of sea and sky (seafood and poultry).
The Jade Emperor couldn't help but murmur in his heart!
Is this thing called hot pot really so delicious? Eat this powerful Taoist who is comparable to Tathagata like this.
At noon on the third day.
"No, I can't stand it anymore, my body is about to explode."
Xiaotian, whose face was red from eating and sweating profusely, took off his clothes and ran out.
The moment it rushed into the sea, a small area of the sea was evaporated.
But then it was covered by new sea water.
Xiao Tian did not stop and rushed into the deep sea in an instant.
After a while, King Ginseng couldn't bear it anymore.
Putting down his chopsticks, he rushed into the sea in a hurry.
At sunset on the fourth day.
Cao Yi and the Nine-Headed Bird stopped, not because they were tired of eating.
The ingredients are gone.
In such a long life, it was the first time for Cao Yi to eat so happily.
Put away the hot pot and make yourself a hot cup of enlightenment tea.
While drinking, Cao Yi turned his mind to Taibai Jinxing, who left a few days ago.
The footsteps of the ether platinum star should have returned to the sky long ago.
Why didn't the Jade Emperor react at all?
Doesn't he want to break the dominance of the Buddhist family?
You must know that this is the world of Journey to the West, not the second half of the prehistoric era. There are no saints behind the Jade Emperor to support him. It really depends on Tathagata's face.
Could it be?
Cao Yi thought of a possibility.
"Since you're here, why not show up and see me?"
Cao Yi said casually to the air.
There was no movement.
guessed wrong.
This is embarrassing.
"Meet fellow Taoist"
With a clear voice, the Jade Emperor, dressed in black gold-rimmed imperial clothing and surrounded by various strange phenomena, walked out of the void.
He really deceived people.
Cao Yi stood up.
Look at the person coming.
This scene is undoubtedly the Supreme Jade Emperor of the Three Realms.
"The formation pattern that hides the sky and the Haotian Mirror that hides Qi can't be hidden from fellow Taoists. I admire you."
The Jade Emperor said sincerely.
The determination to unite with Cao to resist Buddhism became even stronger.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat."
Cao Yi raised his hand.
The Jade Emperor walked to the stone table and sat down.
Cao Yi waved his hand, and there was an extra cup of tea in front of the Jade Emperor.
"This tea"
A trace of surprise flashed in the Jade Emperor's eyes.
This was the first time he had seen the tea leaves used by this Taoist.
"please"
Cao Yi raised his cup.
With a hint of doubt, the Jade Emperor picked up the cup and took a sip.
A feeling of wanting to realize the truth came to my heart, and then disappeared randomly.
The Jade Emperor was a little surprised. Even if he drank it, he would feel a little bit like enlightenment. Those with lower cultivation levels would still be able to drink it.
It is worthy of being a powerful being comparable to Tathagata, and the tea leaves he casually takes out are extraordinary.
"I haven't asked my fellow Taoist how to address me?"
Jade Emperor asked.
"Cao Yi"
Cao Yi answered simply.
The Jade Emperor secretly thought it was strange, he had never heard of this name.
This man seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"I wonder what your Majesty's purpose is?"
Cao Yi was straight to the point as always.
"I asked Taibai to invite Taoist friends to heaven last time, but they didn't come, so I had to come in person."
The Jade Emperor smiled gently.
Even a little low profile.
"Your Majesty is too kind."
Cao Yi also smiled gently.
"Fellow Taoist agreed"
Jade Emperor asked.
"Your Majesty is so kind, but a poor man is so disrespectful"
Cao Yi did not refuse again.
After drinking a cup of tea, Cao Yi took the Nine-Headed Bird, Ginseng King, and Xiaotian back into his body.
Returned to heaven with the Jade Emperor.
Nantianmen.
As peaceful as ever.
Suddenly, a golden light extended from the ground to the entrance of Nantianmen.
A figure shrouded in the shadows of nine destiny dragons and four sacred beasts stepped forward in the golden light and came closer in a blink of an eye.
The heavenly soldiers and generals of Nantianmen knew that the Jade Emperor had returned, and they all saluted.
At this moment, another person shrouded by the phantoms of the Luck Heavenly Dragon and the Four Elephant Divine Beasts came to Nantianmen.
Why is there an extra Jade Emperor?
Many people looked up in surprise.
Saw a young Taoist priest.
I was wondering.
Who is this person?
Cao Yi, the Jade Emperor did not stay long and soon came to a fairy palace filled with immortal energy.
There are already two people waiting.
One is Taibai Jinxing, whom Cao Yi has seen before.
A natural charm gives people an indescribable feeling. Apart from Taishang Laojun, Cao Yi could not think of anyone else.
"Who is this……"
The Jade Emperor took the initiative to introduce both parties.
After greeting each other, the banquet began.
A variety of delicacies from mountains and seas refreshed Cao Yi's understanding of food.
Chang'e, the most beautiful woman in the Heavenly Palace, did not come out to dance for fun. She would probably only appear on grander occasions, such as the Peach Banquet and the Antian Convention.
After meal.
"I wonder what friends think of Buddhism's plan to travel to the West?"
Jade Emperor asked tentatively.
"What does Your Majesty think of Buddhism's plan to travel to the west?"
Cao Yi asked back.
After the Jade Emperor was silent for a while, he expressed his true thoughts: "Buddhism is already powerful. If the Journey to the West succeeds, the power of Buddhism will expand beyond control."
"I don't want Buddhism's power to expand too much."
Cao Yi said.
The two looked at each other and smiled in return.
The next thing is simple.
A simple plan was hatched.
Suddenly, two divine lights swept across the world.
Cao Yi was startled.
Immediately after reacting, the monkey was born.
In a flash, Cao Yi had been in heaven for more than a year.
More than three hundred years have passed in this world.
Because Monkey obtained Cao Yi's skills, his cultivation level was not weak, so he had no intention of leaving Huaguo Mountain.
One day, Taibai Jinxing suddenly came to the place where Cao Yi was retreating.
"Guanyin has arrived"
Cao Yi followed Taibai Jinxing to a fairy palace.
The atmosphere in Asgard was wrong.
No matter it was the Jade Emperor, the ministers in heaven or Guanyin, they were all silent.
Apparently, according to the plan, the Jade Emperor rejected the first step of Buddhism's journey to the west. The monkeys caused trouble in the heavenly palace, but Tathagata turned the tide.
"Fellow Daoist Cao is here"
Seeing Cao Yi, the Jade Emperor immediately stood up.
Guanyin stood up with the others and looked at Cao Yi with curious eyes.
"His Majesty"
Cao Yi gave a salute.
"This is the Buddhist Guanyin Bodhisattva"
The Jade Emperor made an introduction.
"Meet fellow Taoist"
Guanyin salutes.
Cao Yi returned the gift.
"Don't dare"
Guanyin quickly stepped aside.
After sitting down.
Guanyin spoke again: "Your Majesty, is there really no room for negotiation?"
"No"
The Jade Emperor refused without hesitation.
Now there is Cao Yi's support.
Sacrifice the face of heaven and achieve Buddhism.
He won't do it.
"In this way, the poor monk takes his leave."
Guanyin stood up, bowed, and left the Immortal Palace.
"Your Majesty, are we really going to be at odds with Buddhism?"
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. Please take back your order."
…
A group of civil and military officials in Tianting who had been holding back for a long time spoke one after another.
They are very satisfied with their current comfortable life and do not want to confront the suffocating Buddhist sect.
The Jade Emperor's face darkened and he said nothing.
Cao Yi had the illusion that he was watching the daily life of the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, please take back your order."
Even Li Jing, the Grand Marshal of the Army and Horses, the King of Tota, also stood up to oppose.
"I have made up my mind, no need to persuade anymore"
After the Jade Emperor finished speaking, he walked away.
