Chapter 5: In the Taiqing Heaven, Zhunti advised him [please subscribe, please collect]

However, after leaving Penglai Island with joy, he did not return to his temple, but went straight to Lao Tzu's Taiqing Heaven. In less than a moment, Zhunti Buddha Mother had arrived at Taiqing Heaven. But when he saw the boy waiting outside, the boy hurried forward to salute and said, "I have seen the Saint of Zhunti, and the two masters have been waiting in the hall for a long time."

When the Buddha Mother Cunti heard this, she was slightly stunned and asked, "Two masters? Could it be that the original fellow Taoist is here too?"

The boy replied, "Return to the saint's words, Master Yuan came to Taiqingtian not long ago to discuss matters with Master, and this is the fashion."

When the Buddha Mother Cundi heard this, her eyes flashed with a flash and she said with a smile: "If this is the way, the fairy child will lead the way."

The boy said no, and then led the Buddha Mother Cunti into the Tushita Palace. However, the boy did not lead the Buddha Mother Cunti to Laozi's Danfang Tushita Palace, but directly led to the main hall of the Eight Scenery Palace. When he entered the hall, he saw Laozi sitting high above the cloud bed.

Seeing this, the Buddha Mother Cunti stepped forward and bowed: "I have seen two fellow Taoists."

When Lao Tzu heard this, his expression changed. You should know that Lao Tzu is the senior brother of the saints. Even if Zhunti Buddha Mother and Amitabha Buddha are just disciples of the Taoist ancestors, they should be honored. However, now Zhunti Buddha Mother is a bit rude to see this way. However, it can be seen that the two Westerners are extremely determined to turn their backs on the Xuanmen.

At this moment, when the Primitive Heavenly Venerable saw that the Buddha Mother of Cunti was like this, he was about to have an attack, but when he saw that I recovered instantly, he waved his hand, pointed to the seat beside Cunti, and pointed to the Buddha Mother of Cunti, and said, "Fellow Taoist, please sit down." After that, he looked at Cunti with expressionless face.

Seeing that I was like this, Primitive Heavenly Lord had to hold back the anger in his heart and stop speaking, but his eyes were staring at Zhunti Buddha Mother.

The Buddha Mother Cunti thanked her and then sat down on the cloud bed.

After Cunti Buddha Mother sat down, Primitive Heavenly Venerable couldn't wait to ask: "What's the matter with fellow Taoists?"

Seeing that the Primitive Heavenly Lord was so anxious, I frowned slightly, but did not object.

The Buddha Mother of Cundi looked at me first, lowered her head and thought for a moment, and then said, "Now that my Buddhist protector is born, the matter of spreading the Dharma in the East should begin. I am here to discuss this matter with two fellow Taoists."

When Laozi and the other two heard this, they were not surprised. They saw Yuanzi Tianzun asking again: "Why don't you know how friends plan to spread the Dharma?"

The Buddha Mother Cunti thought for a moment and said, "There is no rush to spread Buddhism to the east. First of all, you need to establish some reputation for my Buddhist Dharma Protectors. Only in this way will the Dharma be spread smoothly in the future."

When the Primitive Heavenly Lord heard this, he frowned. He was about to speak, but I was taken first by me. I only heard me say lightly: "But I don't know how my friend plans to establish his authority?"

The Buddha Mother Cunti hesitated and looked at Laozi, and slowly said, "Disturbating the Heavenly Palace and smashing the Underworld."

The short six words of the Buddha Mother of Cundi were like stormy waves. Lao Tzu, who had been sanctified for countless years, was so shocked that she could not speak. But when Lao Tzu heard what the Buddha Mother of Cundi said, he was staring at the Buddha Mother of Cundi in a daze.

After a while, the two of them came to their senses, and then they asked in a large number of Buddhist Mother Cunti and in unison: "Fellow Taoist sects the great Dharma in the dream of Buddhist enlightenment is indeed very mysterious. I dare to ask if the fellow Taoist is still practicing now?" As they said that, the two of them looked at the Buddhist Mother Cunti again.

When the Buddha Mother Cunti heard this, her mouth twitched and cursed in her heart. She forced herself to adjust her facial expression, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Where are the two fellow Taoists saying this? The two fellow Taoists have agreed before, and this time they will do their best to help me preach in the West."

Yuan Shi Tianzun said angrily: "I and my senior brother have indeed agreed to help fellow Taoists with all their might, but don't you think that this is a bit over? That's..." Yuan Shi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by my wave.

I heard me say lightly: "Fellow Taoist, I and I just promised to help the fellow Taoist preaching, but I never promised to help the fellow Taoist disciples establish their authority." After that, I paused slightly, then looked at the Buddha Mother of Zhunti coldly and said: "If it is a common thing, I will not refuse to do anything to end the cause and effect, but don't you think that the discussion just now has gone through?" After that, I looked at the Buddha Mother of Zhunti with an unhappy look.

When the Buddha Mother Cundi frowned and said, "But this matter is also necessary for preaching. Please consider it."

I singly refused, "This matter is absolutely impossible. You must know that the heavenly court was established by the teacher and commanded the sentient beings in the three realms. It can be said that the Taoist fellow wanted to let Sun Wukong make trouble in the heavenly court. Wouldn't it be my Xuanmen face? Besides, it is well known that the underworld is the place where countless sentient beings in the three realms will return to silence after death and reincarnation. If Sun Wukong smashed the underworld, how can the sentient beings in the three realms return to death? Such a great causal fellow dares to form a cause and effect?"

After hearing this, the Buddha Mother of Cundi hurriedly said, "I have no intention of this. I just want to let the underworld be subdued so that Sun Wukong can establish his reputation and will never affect the reincarnation of all living beings in the three realms. You can rest assured of this."

After hearing this, I shook my head and said, "Even so, we cannot agree. Besides, the underworld is the territory of Junior Brother Tongtian and Junior Sister Houtu, and we cannot make decisions. However, I and the other two cannot help fellow Taoists."

When the Buddha Mother of Zhunti heard this, he immediately thought of the previous story of Tongtian. Houtu seemed to love Sun Wukong. In this way, the witch clan in the underworld would not be embarrassed by Sun Wukong due to Houtu. Thinking of this, the Buddha Mother of Zhunti's eyes lit up and then said to Lao Tzu: "I will deal with the affairs of the underworld. The two fellow Taoists only need to complete the affairs of the Heavenly Court."

When I heard this, I was stunned. Then I looked at the Buddha Mother of Zhunti with deep meaning. Thinking of the expression of Zhunti when he came out of Penglai Island, countless possibilities flashed through their hearts. The Primitive Heavenly Lord wanted to ask something, but in the end he still didn't speak.

I looked at Zhunti quietly, lowered my head and thought for a moment, but finally refused, "Fellow Taoist, don't say it, this matter is impossible. A large part of the reason why I was named a god in the previous episode was to establish my authority for the Heavenly Court. If the court finally had some power today, if I fulfilled my intention, I would not even say that the teacher was ignorant of the teacher. Fellow Taoist would rather think of other ways."

When Zhunti saw that I still refused, he was anxious. He thought for a while and gritted his teeth and said, "If the two fellow Taoists help me with Buddhism this time, then the fellow Taoists will settle the cause and effect of Hinayana Buddhism before." After that, Zhunti looked unwilling. He originally wanted to use these cause and effect in other places, but in order to achieve the reputation of Sun Wukong, he had to bear the pain of giving up love.

When I heard this, my eyes flashed through and I secretly plotted against it. If I agreed, he would only need to practice the indestructible body of Vajra for Sun Wukong in the future and help him during Journey to the West, then he and Yuanshi could end their cause and effect, and they would no longer be restrained in their actions. I would not refuse this temptation. But thinking about the consequences of this matter, I suddenly hesitated.

In fact, I don’t care about the heavenly court at all. What I am really worried about is that after this, his prestige with Yuanzhu may fall to the bottom. This can be said to be fatal to the propaganda of the great sect in the future. If the situation is worse, then he and Yuanzhu may not have a day to turn around. No wonder I am so hesitant about such consequences.

After thinking for a while, I gritted my teeth and said to Zhunti Buddha Mother, "I agree, but fellow Taoists also know that in the heavenly court, all the saints have power, and I cannot make the decision. I can only guarantee that our subordinates will not stop and help them with all their strength. As for the others, it depends on the fellow Taoists." Having said that, I understand in my heart that if Zhunti Buddha Mother really convinced Tongtian Houtu and the other two to agree that Sun Wukong would make trouble in the underworld, the affairs of the heavenly court would probably be a piece of cake.

Unfortunately, I was wrong this time. Tongtian Houtu did not agree to this matter. This time, it was entirely speculated by the Buddha Mother Cunti himself, and it was this guess that made the Buddha Mother Cunti suffer all the hardships in his subsequent preaching.

At that moment, when the Buddha Mother of Zhunti saw that I had agreed, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "As long as the two fellow Taoists agree, I will deal with other matters."

I looked at each other at first and nodded.

The purpose of the Buddha Mother Cunti had achieved this trip, so she stood up and said, "I will go back and prepare to go, so I will say goodbye." After that, she turned around and walked out.

After the Buddha Mother Cunti left, the Primitive Heavenly Lord asked Lao Tzu: "Why should senior brother do this? You must know that if this matter is spread, I may not have any power to say. How can I preach the great sect then?"

I sighed and said, "How could I not know about my brother? But we owe too much cause and effect in the West. If the Tao is about to grow, if it is plagued by cause and effect, how can our cultivation improve? Therefore, we must agree to this matter. As for the preaching, we can only leave it to the future before planning."

Yuan Shi heard this and said hesitantly: "Even if our cultivation level increases this time as the heavenly path grows, other saints will gain something, and it will be a situation that is not different from each other. In this way, we have suffered a great loss. In the long run, the great sect is the foundation of our cultivation. With the help of the great sect's luck, our cultivation will be extremely fast. But this time, if we give up the fundamentals for a temporary benefit, wouldn't it be a waste of the foundation?"

When I heard this, I looked at Yuanshi in surprise, but I didn't expect Yuanshi to have such knowledge. I immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, junior brother, I have already planned this for you. When Sun Wukong makes a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, we only need to restrain our disciples and not make things difficult for him. At that time, everyone will naturally not blame us for waiting."

Yuanshi was still a little worried after hearing what I said, but I had already agreed. It was useless to say this at this time. Therefore, Yuanshi had no choice but to say it helplessly: "I will trouble my senior brother to make more plans." After that, he sighed and then closed his eyes to practice.

I took a look at Yuan Zu and closed my eyes and went to practice.

However, after Sun Wukong and the seven demon saints became sworn brothers, Sun Wukong, as the landlord, ordered his Marshal Ma Liu Er to arrange a banquet, invite six demon kings to drink, kill cows and horses, sacrifice to heaven and earth, and let all monsters dance and sing, and everyone was drunk. After getting drunk, Sun Wukong's soul left his body and was detained by the underworld official Hei Bai Wuchang using the Nether Soul Chain to Detach the Soul Chain. After this, Sun Wukong's life of many disasters and difficulties was started.
