Chapter 35: Buddha compromises and prepares for negotiations [please subscribe, please collect]
However, when Sakyamuni Buddha saw that the Ancient Buddha and others were beaten by the Virgin Mother and others, Maitreya Buddha was even more devastated and his body was destroyed, he suddenly became angry and did not care about his identity. He directly cursed in the Great Hall. After Sakyamuni Buddha calmed down a little, the Ancient Buddha of Lan Deng spoke to persuade him, but it would be fine if the Ancient Buddha of Lan Deng didn't persuade him. This persuasion immediately made the anger in Sakyamuni Buddha's heart burn again, and he immediately started to curse again.
At this moment, the Buddha Mother of Cundi sent a message to Sakyamuni Buddha. After hearing the words of the Buddha Mother of Cundi, Sakyamuni Buddha did not care about getting angry and hurriedly asked for advice from the Buddha Mother of Cundi.
At this moment, the Buddha Mother of Cundi pondered for a moment and said to Sakyamuni Buddha: "Disciple, go and discuss with the disciples of the Jie Sect and see that he promised me to pass on several sutras in Buddhism." After saying this, the Buddha Mother of Cundi, who was far away in chaos, also blushed slightly and cursed in disgrace.
After hearing the words of Zhunti Buddha Mother, Sakyamuni Buddha was stunned on the spot. After a long time, Sakyamuni Buddha came to his senses and asked in disbelief: "The teacher asked the disciple to discuss with the Jie Sect... discuss how many sutras I passed on in Buddhism?" His tone was full of doubts, and even some doubts whether it was the voice of Zhunti Buddha Mother.
The Mother of Cundi also heard the disbelief in Sakyamuni Buddha's tone, and was slightly embarrassed. Finally, she said unwillingly: "Oh! I am helpless as a teacher. Although I have many Buddhist disciples, my cultivation is average and I cannot compare with the disciples of Jie Sect. If you can't beat the disciples of Jie Sect, how can I complete my plan to spread the Dharma?"
After hearing these words, Sakyamuni Buddha suddenly turned red with shame and couldn't reply.
Seeing this, the Buddha Mother of Cunti continued to say, "I just went to discuss with me. I wanted to ask the disciples of the Second Sect of Cult to help you and others to fight against the disciples of the Jie Sect. However, I was extremely firm in my attitude and finally failed to agree. The teacher and your master had a plan, but in desperation, he had to decide to compromise with the Jie Sect." After that, the Buddha Mother of Cult shook his head, sighed quietly, and his tone was full of helplessness.
When Shakyamuni Buddha heard this, his face changed constantly, and finally became ferocious. He asked, "In this way, we will give up this preaching. We will plan next time. Saints and Primitive Saints owe me the cause and effect, and we are not afraid that they will not help me."
Seeing this, the Buddha Mother Cundi sighed in her heart, and then said in a solemn voice: "Psychic, please remember that this preaching of the Dharma is the only opportunity for my Buddhism. In any case, my teachings must complete this preaching of the Dharma, otherwise there will be no chance."
After hearing the words of the Buddha Mother of Cundi, Sakyamuni Buddha was secretly shocked, and then lowered his head and thought. After a while, Sakyamuni Buddha sighed in his heart and asked, "I would like to tell my disciples what the bottom line of my teaching is, so I can discuss with everyone in the Jie Cult." After that, Sakyamuni Buddha sighed, looking extremely depressed.
When Zhunti Buddha Mother saw that her beloved disciple was like this, she felt uncomfortable, but what could he do? Should he take action on his own? If so, there was no need for Tongtian to cause trouble for him, Dao Zu Hongjun immediately came to kill him. With these concerns, Zhunti Buddha Mother could only accept the facts.
At this moment, the Buddha Mother of Cundi said to Sakyamuni Buddha: "The best is the seventy-seventy-nine sects. If you can have more, it will be better. At least it cannot be less than sixty-six sects. This is the bottom line, so the disciples can do it themselves."
After hearing this, Shakyamuni Buddha nodded and said, "Disciple knows."
Seeing that Shakyamuni Buddha was not very interested, the mother of Cundi comforted him: "The disciple does not need to do this. If this is agreed, the disciple will no longer have to worry about Journey to the West. In this way, he can practice with peace of mind and wait for the opportunity for the growth of the heavenly way in the near future."
When Shakyamuni Buddha heard this, his mouth moved slightly, and finally sighed: "Disciple understands."
In fact, Sakyamuni Buddha was very smart in his heart. Compared with the fortune of the great sect, the opportunity for the growth of the heavenly way is dispensable in the near future. After all, if the fortune of the great sect is prosperous, then Buddhist disciples will definitely practice very quickly in the future, but it will be much stronger than a mere opportunity. How can a fool choose to show that, let alone his dignified master of the sect?
After the Buddha Mother Cundi gave the order, she withdrew her spiritual consciousness, and the others were arranged by Shakyamuni Buddha.
Sakyamuni Buddha sensed the evacuation of the consciousness of the Mother of Cundi, and turned his gaze back to the Main Hall.
When everyone in the Great Hall saw that Shakyamuni Buddha had finished speaking, he sat on the throne with his eyes no focus and did not say a word. Seeing this, everyone present was confused. Only the Radang Ancient Buddha seemed to have discovered something, and his eyes flashed with glittering eyes, but everyone had never stepped forward to disturb him, just waiting quietly in the hall.
At this time, everyone saw that Shakyamuni Buddha had a bright look and his spirit was filled with a burst of energy. They all raised their ears and waited for Shakyamuni Buddha to give instructions.
Sakyamuni Buddha glanced at everyone present, then turned his eyes to the ancient Buddha and others, and said lightly: "The four of them, Amitabha Buddha, Ancient Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, will leave behind, the others will disperse." As he said that, he turned to Sun Wukong, who was in the lower head, and smiled and said: "Wukong, follow Ananda to rest for a day, and the poor monk will go to Huangfengling to rescue your master tomorrow." At this point, Sakyamuni Buddha's face turned slightly red, but he recovered immediately.
When Sun Wukong and everyone present heard this, they felt a little dissatisfied, but they did not dare to violate the decree of Sakyamuni Buddha, so they had to stand up and leave. Sun Wukong also retreated with Venerable Ananda and went to the side palace to rest.
After everyone left, Shakyamuni Buddha ignored the ancient Buddha and others, but turned around and ordered Kashyapa, who was beside him, "Amitabha, I hope you can go to the East China Sea to tell the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit. Tomorrow, all my junior brothers will go to visit together and discuss the matter of Journey to the West." After a pause, he continued, "Let the Holy Mother of Wudang in Huangfeng Ridge go too. As for Tang Sanzang, you don't have to ask him to release him, just leave him as a hostage."
After hearing the words of Sakyamuni Buddha, Kashyapa had many questions in his heart, but when he saw the expression of Sakyamuni Buddha, he immediately endured it and said respectfully: "I am not Amitabha Buddha, I will follow the Buddha's decree." After that, he bowed and left the hall.
As soon as Kashyapa left, the ancient Buddha of Landeng asked Shakyamuni Buddha: "The Buddha planned to negotiate with the Jie Sect? Could it be that he wanted to agree to the conditions mentioned by Yunxiao before?"
When Shakyamuni Buddha heard this, his face turned gloomy and he said hatefully: "Apart from this, we have no other way." After that, his face was full of unwillingness.
When Lan Deng Ancient Buddha heard this, he was shocked and saw Lan Deng Ancient Buddha hurriedly said, "Buddha must not. How can I explain my Buddhist Dharma in just twenty-five scriptures? How is this different from not preaching? In comparison, even if we give up this preaching and re-planning, it is better than this!"
Sakyamuni Buddha waved his hand and sighed: "The ancient Buddha had already thought about the advice of the monks, but the Buddha's mother had just told me that this was the only chance. If the Dharma was passed down this time, Buddhism would have no second chance. The solution to compromise with the Intercepted Sect was also the order of the Buddha's mother, and it would be useless for us to oppose it."
When everyone heard this, they were stunned and then silent. Only Samantabhadra Bodhisattva said unwillingly: "How did the Buddha Mother think? Since this teaching has not been effective, why don't we give up? Then the saint and the Primitive Old... The saint owed me the cause and effect, and were not afraid of their support. The ancient Buddha also knew about this matter, but why did he still come up with this worst?" After saying that, he looked at everyone with confusion.
When everyone heard this, they were also confused and looked at Shakyamuni Buddha who was in the upper hand.
Seeing this, Shakyamuni Buddha was unwilling to explain more and said directly: "Okay, there is no need to discuss this matter. When you go back and prepare, you will set off with me tomorrow to negotiate with the Jie Cult." As he said that, his eyes swept across everyone. When he saw Maitreya Buddha, he paused slightly and said: "Maitreya, go back to the temple to have a good rest. You don't need to participate in this matter."
Maitreya Buddha also knew his situation at this time, and did not force it. He nodded and said, "Disciple knows."
Shakyamuni Buddha glanced at Maitreya Buddha, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and finally sighed, waved his hand and said, "Let's go away." After that, he stood up and walked outward.
Seeing this, Landeng Gu Buddha and others stopped stopping and got up and walked out.
Besides, Kashyapa left the Main Hall and flew towards the East Sea by clouds. After a few hours, he came to Jinao Island, the Taoist temple of Turtle Spirit Holy Mother. I saw a Taoist boy in green waiting outside. When Kashyapa arrived, he came forward on the clouds and bowed his head and said, "I have seen fellow Taoists."
Seeing this, Kashyapa did not dare to be negligent, and bowed and said, "I have seen fellow Taoists. I am here to pay homage to the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit according to the Buddha's decree."
The Taoist boy smiled and nodded, saying, "Follow me." After that, he headed to the island. Seeing this, Kashyapa hurriedly followed him.
A moment later, the two came to the island and entered the hall. After seeing the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit, Kashyapa hurriedly said, "The Buddha sat down and his disciple Kashyapa, and he had seen the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit." After that, he bowed and bowed to the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit. Moreover, his body trembled slightly. Facing the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit, who is known as the first person of the Four Sects, it is no wonder Kashyapa was so nervous.
The Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit responded lightly, then waved her hand to the seat next to her and said, "Fellow Taoist is here to be miserable, please sit down."
When Kashyapa heard this, he bowed slightly, and then came to his seat and sat down.
After Kashyapa sat down, the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit asked, "I don't know what happened to you when you are here?"
When Kashyapa saw the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit ask, he hurriedly replied: "The Buddha ordered the young monk to come and pass on the message, saying that he would discuss Journey to the West with the Holy Mother and others tomorrow."
When the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit heard this, she glanced at Kashyapa slightly. When Kashyapa was seen by the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit, she suddenly burst into cold sweat. She heard the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit continue to ask: "I wonder what fellow Taoist Sakyamuni said?" After that, she stared at Kashyapa with her eyes wide open.
Kashyapa was stared at by the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit, and his heart was extremely panicked. Cancan replied, "The Buddha also said, "People asked the Holy Mother of Wudang to invite them back, and everyone discussed together. As for Tang Sanzang, he would keep him as a hostage, and the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit, and he did not need to be released." After that, he hurriedly turned his face to the side and did not dare to look at the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit.
When the Holy Mother Turtle Spirit heard this, she moved her heart slightly, and then smiled and said, "I know, I'll ask fellow Taoist to tell fellow Taoist Sakyamuni that tomorrow, we will wait for the great deportation in my temple." After that, she looked at Kashyapa with a smile.
When Kashyapa heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Since that's the case, the little monk will go back and tell the Buddha."
The Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit also saw that Kashyapa seemed to be afraid of her spiritual consciousness, so she wanted to leave soon. She couldn't help but feel a little funny, but she didn't make any trouble with her and said, "I originally wanted to keep fellow Taoist fellow Taoist for a cup of tea before leaving, but since I still have to report my life, I don't force me to stay. Fellow Taoist fellow Taoist please do whatever he wants."
Kashyapa hurriedly said, "Thank you for the good wishes of the Holy Mother, the little monk said goodbye." After that, he left in a panic.
Looking at Kashyapa's panicked back, the Holy Mother of Turtle Ling smiled slightly, and then ordered the boy in Qingyi beside her: "Qingyi, go to Huangfengling for a walk, please don't want to be a master. Uncle Jinling and Uncle Yunxiao come to my temple. This means that you will negotiate with Buddhism every day, and ask her to come here to discuss."
The boy in green nodded and said, "Yes!" After that, he turned around and left the hall, and flew towards Huangfengling.
After the boy in green left, the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit waved out another jade slip, flew to the east, and then smiled and said, "Haha! I'll see you tomorrow!" After that, she went straight to practice with her eyes closed.
