Chapter five hundred and eighty seventh: see the Tathagata
The Jade Emperor is the Lord of the Three Realms, a seat consecrated by Taoist Hongjun. Not to mention the Tathagata, even the Three Pure Saints have no right to order the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor is the highest status in heaven and earth. And Tathagata is just the master of Dacheng Buddhism.
. Calculated in this way, the Jade Emperor is like the emperor, and Tathagata is like the president of Buddhism. His status is naturally much lower than that of the Jade Emperor.
Therefore, when the Jade Emperor invited Tathagata to a banquet, Tathagata did not dare to disobey and could only agree, which showed his respect for the Jade Emperor. Therefore, even if Tathagata discovered that Li Yunfei had his familiar aura on him, he could not
Rejecting the Jade Emperor's intention, he had to send a message to Li Yunfei first and asked Li Yunfei to wait for him outside!
Li Yunfei waited quietly outside. In order to see Tathagata, Li Yunfei had already waited for forty-nine years. Waiting for a little longer would be nothing to Li Yunfei!
Time passed minute by minute. Suddenly, I saw Kasyapa flying out from the Nantian Gate, holding a yellow cloth with six characters written on it: "OM, MA, NE, BA, MI, HUNG".
Li Yunfei knew that Sun Wukong's last chance to escape from Wuzhishan was gone. With Tathagata's seal, Sun Wukong would not be able to escape even if he died.
After Kassapa flew back to heaven to explain everything to Tathagata, Tathagata said goodbye to the Jade Emperor, and then took Ananda and Kassapa out of the Nantian Gate, flew to the lower world, and walked to the mosquito next to Li Yunfei's transformation.
At that moment, Tathagata waved his hand and took Li Yunfei into his sleeve.
After a while, Tathagata flew to the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, summoned a mountain god, and then sent five parties to reveal the truth, and asked these people to look after Sun Wukong. When Sun Wukong was hungry, someone would feed him iron pills, and when he was thirsty, someone would feed him iron pills.
Feed him copper juice.
Li Yunfei immediately understood that this was Tathagata restricting Sun Wukong's practice. Sun Wukong was an innate being, and was later refined into a Hunyuan golden body by Taishang Laojun. The iron pills and copper juice were acquired metals and would stain Sun Wukong's Hunyuan body.
The golden body made Sun Wukong trapped under the Five Fingers Mountain, unable to practice!
If only, Sun Wukong's body still possessed the spiritual power of Taishang Laojun's golden elixir, the spiritual power of the Queen Mother's flat peach, and the spiritual power of the Jade Emperor's wine, these spiritual powers together would be very terrifying. If Sun Wukong returns the cause and effect,
After returning the retribution, he can use this spiritual power to break through the bottleneck. Therefore, Tathagata used iron pills and copper juice to pollute Sun Wukong's body, making it impossible for Sun Wukong to practice.
Moreover, taking iron pills and copper juice is extremely uncomfortable, so Tathagata is also punishing Sun Wukong for the wrong things he has done!
After the Tathagata gave the order, he waved his hand for Ananda and Kassapa to go back first. Then, with a flick of his sleeves, he released Li Yunfei. Then he looked Li Yunfei up and down, and then said strangely: "Your cultivation level is not very good."
Like this! How could Master pass on his token to you?"
If Li Yunfei's cultivation is compared with other immortals and Buddhas, it is not too far behind. But if compared with masters such as Tathagata and the Jade Emperor, it is a world of difference. So Li Yunfei could only smile bitterly: "
I don’t know how Saint Tongtian fell in love with me. Actually, I don’t really want to make this mess!”
Li Yunfei is telling the truth. Even a saint, let alone him, can't clean up this mess. He has no other choice. Who told him that he was forced by Taoist Qinglian to swear an oath to heaven, so he is suffering now?
I can eat it by myself.
Tathagata pinched his fingers and calculated, frowned, and said: "With my cultivation level, I can't figure out your origin, and there are no traces of anyone using magic to shield the secrets of heaven on your body. It seems that Master is looking for you.
You have found the right one. Maybe you can really help Master!"
Li Yunfei quickly smiled bitterly and said: "I came to Heaven this time just to find some people for help, and finally I saw you!" Li Yunfei can't say that he knew in advance that the Jade Emperor would ask him to subdue the demon. That's all he can say.
Tathagata nodded and said: "After I surrendered the demon monkey, you activated the breath of the spiritual treasure that Master gave you. That's why I discovered you. Do you have anything to do with me?"
Li Yunfei smiled bitterly and said: "I won't hide the matter from you. Saint Tongtian asked me to do two things for him. The first thing is that he hopes that I can rescue those Jie Jiao disciples who are in the hands of Buddhist or heavenly masters.
.Two"
Before Li Yunfei finished speaking, Tathagata interrupted Li Yunfei and said with a frown: "My master should have told you that I incarnated as Sakyamuni Buddha and occupied this position of Buddhism in order to divide this Buddhism.
However, the great rise of Buddhism is determined by Heaven, and no one can change it. And these disciples of Jiejiao are all part of Heaven, so I’m afraid I can’t help you!”
Li Yunfei didn't expect Tathagata to say this, and said quickly: "This is not what I meant, this is what Saint Tongtian meant. Saint Tongtian feels that he is sorry for you, and has caused you to die and be captured. Even a large Jiejiao has been destroyed.
!If he hadn't been so loyal and wanted to change your destiny by one person, nothing would have happened to you. Therefore, Saint Tongtian feels very guilty!"
Tathagata sighed and said: "None of us blame him. We all know that Master has tried his best. He is one against four, and we are proud of him. He can do it for us, Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun.
We are already very happy to have turned against each other. Compared to what Master has done for us, what we have done for him is nothing worth mentioning!"
Li Yunfei nodded and said: "Sage Tongtian is also the saint I respect most. He was defeated unjustly. If he hadn't been killed by his brothers, he would never have become what he is now. Didn't you see that in such a big Biyou Palace, there are only
It is too desolate for Saint Tongtian to be alone."
Of course Tathagata knew that Master Tongtian had lost everything, so he could only sigh and said: "Back then, Zhunti led two saints, took away the three thousand worldly guests of Jiejiao, and converted them into Buddhist protectors, Bodhisattvas, and even Buddhas. They
Now that he is a Buddhist, like me, there is no way to save him!"
Li Yunfei said quickly: "These people are living a pretty good life, and they have gained some status. Tongtian Saint means those disciples who are unwilling to stay in Buddhism, or those who are used as mounts and guardian beasts. There are also those who
Disciples of Jie Jiao who were suppressed in the pagoda."
The three thousand worldly guests who intercepted the teachings were also divided into three, six or nine grades. Some who did not want to take refuge were suppressed under the pagoda or restrained and became the mounts, green lions, white elephants, and giants of some Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
Peng is such an example. There are also the nine-headed lions of Taiyi Tianzun. They are all disciples of Jiejiao. They have advanced cultivation and are unwilling to convert. They are also restricted by secret methods and magic weapons and can only be a mount.
There are also those Jiejiao disciples whose cultivation is more advanced than these Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and even Buddhas. They are all suppressed in Buddhism and cannot be liberated.
Tathagata sighed and said: "Which of us doesn't want to be liberated? It's just that after being captured and forced to swear an oath, we can only continue to stay in Buddhism. Maybe after countless kalpas, we can finally return to the Master and continue
Listen to Master’s teachings.”
Jiejiao is the most humane sect among all sects. Basically, every disciple has a good relationship. They often do things to help their brothers. Moreover, the leader of Tongtian is also a leader who pays great attention to human nature.
Therefore, Jie Jiao is like a big family. Naturally, every Jie Jiao disciple wants to return to Jie Jiao. Because only Tongtian Cult Master will not look down on them, think that they are monsters, and think that they are people with hair and horns!
Therefore, the disciples of Jie Jiao are the most loyal!
"But some disciples can be rescued!" Li Yunfei said quickly: "I have in my hand the magical weapon of Tongtian Saint's merit, the fishing drum. As long as I let the captured disciples go down the mountain, I can use the power of the merit of the fishing drum to lift the restrictions!
This way we can save these disciples."
Tathagata nodded and said: "You are right, I think so too. Well, when the time comes, I will naturally have a way to make some Jie Jiao disciples descend into demons. When the time comes, you can rescue them and send them directly to the Master.
, that’s it!”
Li Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief. Tathagata agreed, and the first request of Lord Tongtian was naturally fulfilled. So Li Yunfei continued: "Sage Tongtian has another request, which is to prevent Buddhism from flourishing!"
