Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other and saw the smiles in their eyes.
The Tathagata Buddha was able to change from passive to active, which was beyond their expectations and quite in line with their wishes.
Therefore, Jieyin and Zhunti naturally supported it.
Mother Zhunti looked at the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng and said with a smile: "Fellow Randeng, go back and tell Tathagata that no matter how much you do, the poor monk and the senior brother will do their best to help him!"
"Thank you two leaders!"
The ancient Buddha of Ran Deng was overjoyed and hurriedly put his hands together and said thanks.
Mother Zhunti raised her hand slightly and said with a smile: "Friend Ran Deng, go ahead!"
"Yes, take care of yourself, two saints. The poor monk will leave first!"
The ancient Buddha of Ran Deng put his hands together again, exited the Heaven of Ten Thousand Buddhas, and headed straight towards the East China Sea.
…
On the other side, the three masters came to the foot of Mount Li hand in hand.
"Fellow Taoist Lishan, are you in the mountain? The poor monk Guanyin and his two senior brothers are here to visit!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva used the Buddhist magical power of lion roar and spoke loudly.
Above Lishan Mountain, Old Mother Lishan was practicing cultivation. When she heard the voice of Guanyin Bodhisattva, she couldn't help but open her eyes and murmured: "What are they doing here?"
After hesitating for a moment, Mother Lishan looked at Bai Suzhen aside and said, "Suzhen, go and bring the three nobles up!"
"Yes, master!"
The little white snake jumped down the mountain.
When they reached the bottom of the mountain, the little white snake led the three masters up the mountain.
The three great masters looked at each other. Manjushri Bodhisattva looked at Bai Suzhen and asked with a smile: "Suzhen, has your master met anyone in these years?"
Bai Suzhen was stunned for a moment, then tilted her head and said, "No, master, I'm bored. I've been practicing all day long, and I'm almost bored to death..."
The three masters smiled knowingly and got rid of their grudges.
When Manjusri Bodhisattva asked this question, he was afraid that Old Mother Lishan had something to do with Li Xiao. When they heard that Old Mother Lishan had been practicing in the mountains for these years, the three great masters finally felt relieved.
When they arrived at the palace on the top of the mountain, the three noble men met Lishan's mother and bowed to each other.
Lishan's old mother looked at the three nobles and asked with a smile: "How can you, three nobles, find time to come to this Lishan city?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva chuckled and said: "Fellow Taoist Lishan, we don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. We are here this time to invite fellow Taoists to come out of the mountain and deal with Jie Jiao together!"
"To deal with Jie Jiao?"
Mother Lishan raised her eyebrows, feeling surprised and uncertain.
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Old Mother Lishan, nodded slightly, and said with a chuckle: "Yes, that Jie Sect is really abominable. It has repeatedly undermined my Buddhist sect's great cause of traveling to the west. This time, I, the Buddhist sect, decided to take the initiative to stop the masters of the Jie Sect. So we want to
Please ask fellow Taoists to come and help!”
"this……"
Mother Lishan hesitated.
Guanyin Bodhisattva chuckled and said: "Fellow Taoist Lishan, don't worry. The great prosperity of our Buddhism is the general trend of the way of heaven. The general trend of the way of heaven cannot be changed. This is the destiny of heaven and earth. There is no need to worry, fellow Taoist!"
Manjushri Bodhisattva turned over his hand and revealed a bag. He handed it to Old Mother Lishan and said, "Fellow Taoist Lishan, here are eight golden mountains that the Buddha gave to poor monks. If Taoist friends are willing to go down the mountain to help, these eight golden mountains will be given to poor monks."
The monk then gave it to his fellow Taoist, what did the fellow Taoist think?"
Go? Or not?
If you don't go, I'm afraid the teaching will fail!
Forget it, let’s go, maybe I can help you brothers secretly!
Thinking like this, Old Mother Lishan took over the eight gold mountains, looked at the three great men, and said: "The three great men came to invite me personally. If I don't go, wouldn't I look very ignorant, that's all, that's all,
I’ll just go with the three masters!”
"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"
The three noble men were overjoyed and hurriedly put their hands together and thanked Old Mother Lishan.
Then, Mother Lishan told Bai Suzhen to practice well in the mountains, and also asked some unimportant things, and then she followed the three masters out of the mountain gate and headed for the East China Sea.
…
On the way west, Li Xiao's eyes were filled with purple light, and he saw all the Buddhist plans.
"Hmph, it seems that Tathagata doesn't want to be so silent and wants to take the initiative!"
Li Xiao had already made arrangements for this.
After all, it is impossible to travel thousands of miles west and let Buddhism just sit back and wait for death.
With the wisdom of Tathagata Buddha, we will definitely change from passive to active and proactively create conditions for traveling westward.
However, for Li Xiao, none of this is a problem, everything is within Li Xiao's plan.
Li Xiao hesitated for a moment, looked at Tang Seng and others, and said with a chuckle: "Elder Tang, how about you go ahead and clear the way for the elders?"
Tang Monk's face was full of embarrassment and he said with a sneer: "Shang Immortal Li Xiao, this is absolutely impossible to do. In the previous times, the Immortal opened the way for us, and we just sat back and enjoyed the success. We failed several times when we tried to open the way, so why not do it this time?"
How about you let me wait for the master and apprentice to open the way?"
Li Xiao chuckled and said: "Elder Tang, next time, next time, this time, don't fight with Pindao!"
"That's fine! Then take care of yourself, Li Xiao!"
Tang Monk said hurriedly.
Li Xiao chuckled, and slowly headed west with his disciples and two young disciples.
Looking at the backs of Master Li Xiao and his disciples, Tang Seng sighed and said, "Hey, Master Li Xiao is still kind..."
"Yes, Li Xiaoshangxian is really a kind person..."
Monkey Sun also sighed with emotion.
Li Xiao is so kind? You are so kind. You two were sold by others and you are still counting their money!
Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha were speechless for a while, quite helpless.
…
On the other side, Li Xiao walked all the way west.
Soon, Li Xiao arrived at the Blackwater River.
Li Xiao looked at the turbulent Blackwater River, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Taolong, poor Taoist Li Xiao is passing by here, please come out and meet me!"
"boom……"
Not long after Li Xiao finished speaking, he heard an explosion on the river, a large splash of water, and a column of water rising into the sky.
Once he saw a giant dragon soaring into the sky and flying into the clouds.
Then, the giant dragon transformed into a human form, hurriedly came to Li Xiao, cupped his hands to Li Xiao and said, "I have met Li Xiao, the Immortal!"
Dragon Dragon was originally the son of the Dragon King of Jinghe River.
Back then, Guanyin designed to trap the Dragon King of Jinghe River, but it was Li Xiao who finally saved the Dragon King of Jinghe River's soul and finally helped the Dragon King of Jinghe River to reshape his body.
Therefore, Taolong was very grateful to Li Xiao.
Li Xiaoxu helped Shao Long up and chuckled: "Shao Long, is your father okay?"
Taolong hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Replying to the Immortal, my father is very good, but my father often mentions the Immortal and misses the Immortal very much!"
Li Xiao chuckled and said, "Okay! Pindao hasn't seen your father for a long time. Next time I see your father, say hello to him for Pindao!"
Li Xiao is the first person today to be so polite to me. He is really approachable... Seeing Li Xiao speak so gently, Shaolong felt moved in his heart and hurriedly made a gesture of invitation to Li Xiao.
Said: "Shangxian, please move and visit my Dragon Palace!"
