"It's enough to be called a fellow Taoist!" Yuanshi Tianzun said to Jia Zhengjin, "When the immortal gourd grows and the spiritual energy revives, your fellow Taoist should be our Taoist saint and receive the incense of the world."
The Jade Emperor and the other two saints nodded at the same time.
Jia Zhengjin quickly waved his hand: "I don't need incense and willpower, I just need to meet the request just now..."
"Boom~!" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a shock under his feet.
The Sanqing Saints, the Jade Emperor and Jia Zhengjin were all startled by the sudden shock and looked outside blankly.
"Is there an earthquake?" Jia Zhengjin asked hurriedly, thinking that this sage's cave can also have earthquakes?
"No! Let me do the math." After Yuanshi Tianzun finished speaking, he directly counted with his fingers, "That's it!"
"Fellow Taoist, what's going on?" Jia Zhengjin took a step forward.
"Don't worry, someone is coming!" Yuanshi Tianzun pointed out.
As soon as I finished saying this, I heard someone outside shouting: "Below the Buddha's seat, please see the saint!"
"Please!" Yuanshi Tianzun responded.
A Bodhisattva from outside flew into the hall and bowed respectfully: "Manjushri pays homage to the sage Yuanshi Celestial Being, the sage Duobao Celestial Being, the sage Moral Celestial Being, and pays homage to the Jade Emperor."
Then he turned to Jia Zhengjin and saluted respectfully: "I have met Jia Shengren!"
"It sounds very awkward to me!" Jia Zhengjin knew it was because of his surname.
When the Three Pure Saints and the Jade Emperor saw Manjusri, their faces had expressions of understanding, and they clearly knew something.
Just now, these four people have all done the math and understood the causes and consequences.
Jia Zhengjin can also count, but rarely uses it and has no such habit. However, he also thinks of the strange vibration just now and the sudden appearance of Manjusri Bodhisattva, which must be related.
Before asking any questions, Manjushri Bodhisattva said to several Taoist saints: "Manjushri was ordered by the Buddha to invite Sage Jia to Lingshan Mountain."
Seeing that all eyes were on him, Jia Zhengjin was slightly startled: "Me?"
"Jia Shengren, the one who is traveling with you..."
As soon as Manjushri Bodhisattva said a few words, Jia Zhengjin understood it instantly and explained to several saints: "Ah, is the shock just now related to Sun Wukong? He came from a parallel world and was the clone of the Victorious Buddha."
"A clone that defeated the Buddha in a fight?" Manjusri was very surprised. "This one is stronger and has caused chaos in the Lingshan Mountain. He is fighting with the Buddha! I hope that Saint Jia will take action to calm down this fearless dispute."
"Didn't he compete with the Buddha in a fight? Why did he get into trouble with Tathagata again?" Jia Zhengjin was speechless, "The shock just now has something to do with him?"
"Since it started because of him, Taoist friends might as well go for it!" Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Now that the spiritual energy is thin, it cannot withstand this commotion. The fight between saints is even more dangerous!"
"Please invite Sage Jia to go to Lingshan Mountain!" Manjushri Bodhisattva requested.
"Okay!" This is my own world after all, and it would be bad if the monkey really caused problems.
He came outside with Manjushri Bodhisattva, and behind him the Jade Emperor shouted: "When you return, please come to the Lingxiao Hall for a banquet!"
"No problem!" leaving behind a sentence, Jia Zhengjin and Manjushri turned into golden light and headed straight to the west.
Arriving at Lingshan in a blink of an eye, they saw countless Arhats staggering around, looking very embarrassed.
Above Lingshan Mountain, the gigantic Tathagata sat on a lotus platform, fighting inextricably with the equally gigantic Sun Wukong.
After arriving, Manjushri Bodhisattva quickly shouted: "Great Sage——! Great Sage, stop, Sage Jia is here!"
Hearing the sound, Sun Wukong swiped his stick, quickly distanced himself, stood opposite Tathagata, and turned his head to look this way.
Tathagata also temporarily stopped his move and turned towards Jia Zhengjin with his hands clasped together.
"Friend Tathagata!" Jia Zhengjin first greeted the Buddha.
The Tathagata returns the favor.
"Old Sun, stop making trouble!" After saying hello, Jia Zhengjin turned to Sun Wukong, "A battle between saints could destroy the world if you are not careful. You didn't find a fight to defeat the Buddha, so why did you start a fight with fellow Taoist Tathagata again?
?”
Sun Wukong flew back to him, shrunk to his normal form, and replied with a smile: "I was too weak to become a Buddha. It was indeed the right choice not to follow him to the west! There are not many people on Lingshan who can fight, and only Tathagata is left. Of course,
Let’s learn from each other!”
"Stop making trouble, the Kunlun Mountains were shaken just now, just because you were fighting here." Jia Zhengjin advised, "Now that the world's spiritual energy is exhausted, Yuanshi Tianzun is trying to find a way to restore the world's spiritual energy. When the spiritual energy recovers, there is no need to worry about these
. It’s better to be a little cautious now. Of course, it’s best not to mess around in this world in the future. If you really want to fight, you can use the gate to the alien world to send you to the unreal world. You can play however you want. There are so many fun games on the earth that it’s amazing.
It’s dazzling, I’m sure you’ll find something you like!”
"Oh? Then it's a deal!" Sun Wukong nodded excitedly, put away the golden cudgel with a smile, and looked up at Tathagata, "How offended!"
"It's okay!" Tathagata nodded slightly, obviously relieved, and turned to Jia Zhengjin, "Fellow Taoist just said that Yuanshi Tianzun is trying to restore the spiritual energy of the world?"
"That's right!"
"This is not an easy task!" Tathagata sighed, "I have tried countless times, but there is no possibility."
"Now it has been solved. Yuanshi Tianzun needs an innate spiritual gourd seed, and I happened to get it." Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, "As long as the gourd grows up, it can release spiritual energy to cover the whole world."
"Oh?! Fellow Taoist actually carries the innate spirit gourd seeds on his body?" Tathagata asked in surprise.
"I got it by luck!" Jia Zhengjin smiled, "I hope the problem of spiritual energy depletion will be solved as soon as possible."
"If the spiritual energy can be revived, fellow Taoist monks will have great merits!" Tathagata sighed sincerely.
"After all, this is the world I was born in. Of course I can't just sit idly by." Jia Zhengjin turned to Sun Wukong and said, "Have you been happy after working for so long? Follow me to the Lingxiao Palace in Heaven. The Jade Emperor has set up a banquet to entertain everyone. After this is settled, we will return.
When you come to my house, I will get you some games or story books, so you can play as you like in a foreign land!"
"Hehe~" Sun Wukong heard this and grabbed Jia Zhengjin with a smile, "A feast in heaven must include fine wine and jade liquid! I really miss it, let's hurry over and have a good meal!"
"Okay," Jia Zhengjin turned to Tathagata, "Fellow Taoist, why don't we go to the heaven together? The Jade Emperor must be very welcoming."
"That's fine!" Tathagata replied immediately, "I just wanted to ask Yuanshi Tianzun about the revival of spiritual energy. If it comes true, there will be no need for Buddhism and Taoism to fight. If you don't mind, fellow Taoist, I will go with you, Manjusri!"
"Here!" Manjushri Bodhisattva immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Buddha, please give me your instructions."
"You handle this side of Lingshan!" Tathagata took a look at the messy dojo caused by Sun Wukong and shook his head slightly.
"Follow the law!"
Sun Wukong did not feel embarrassed, but smiled proudly beside him.
Jia Zhengjin was also helpless. Tathagata estimated that it was because of the major event of spiritual energy recovery, and the two great saints himself and Sun Wukong were present, so it was difficult to fall out directly. Moreover, the loss of Lingshan was to an acceptable level, so he would not pursue it. Otherwise, there would be more
