After listening to the words of Ran Deng Ancient Buddha, Tathagata's brows relaxed a lot.
As the saying goes, ginger is still spicier when old.
The ancient Buddha's strategy of driving away wolves and tigers was too clever.
The plan for the journey to the west was already agreed upon, and even the Heavenly Court could not refuse it.
"In that case, please quickly invite Taibai Jinxing to come."
Soon, Taibai Venus arrived here.
"Tathagata Buddha, His Majesty the Jade Emperor specially sent a fairy to Lingshan Mountain to invite Buddha to heaven to meet on important matters."
Tathagata Buddha nodded directly and said: "Let's go now."
Taibai Jinxing is still a little confused, when did Tathagata Buddha become so straightforward?
Just a little bit eager?
But he didn't think much and prepared to leave.
What he didn't expect was that not only Tathagata Buddha was going there alone.
The Ancient Buddha of Ran Deng also went together, and even Guanyin, Samantabhadra and Manjushri Bodhisattva followed closely behind.
Five hundred Arhats followed behind.
Taibai Jinxing was dumbfounded, what is this?
Is this going to heaven to discuss matters, or is it to attack heaven?
While passing through the mortal world, the Buddhas noticed the floods in the mortal world.
Everyone in the Buddhist sect looked happy, and it seemed that the plan was still under their control.
Sun Wukong took away the Dinghai Divine Needle and caused a flood.
Next, as long as Buddhism takes action to save mortals, it will gain huge merits.
But for now, let mortals suffer.
When the time comes to help, they will be even more grateful.
If ordinary people knew the thoughts of the Buddhas in heaven, I don't know how they would feel.
The group of people soon arrived at the Heavenly Court.
As soon as Nantianmen saw the crowd approaching, one of them immediately went to report it, while the other welcomed them in.
As soon as they arrived at the Lingxiao Palace, Tathagata Buddha and other Buddhists felt that something was not right.
There are many heavenly immortals in Lingxiao Palace, and they are all looking at me with strange eyes.
Even the Jade Emperor who was sitting here also had a playful look on his face.
Tathagata Buddha asked in confusion: "Great Heavenly Lord, what happened?"
Seeing Tathagata's confused eyes, the Jade Emperor realized that he didn't know what happened.
"Buddha, you came from Lingshan Mountain, don't you know what is happening in the mortal world?"
The Jade Emperor asked.
Tathagata Buddha put his hands together and recited "Amitabha".
"We discovered that the world was flooded, and I learned that it was the stone monkey from Huaguo Mountain who had captured the Dinghai Needle from the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea."
"I couldn't bear to wait, so I calmed down a flood."
"That stone monkey has caused a huge disaster. It needs to be captured as soon as possible and educated."
"It seems that the journey to the west will start earlier."
He is worthy of being the Tathagata Buddha and worthy of being the first person in Buddhism.
He doesn't blush when he lies.
Still calm the flood easily?
Taibai Jinxing despised the Buddhists in her heart, but she couldn't speak out.
But everyone in the Buddhist sect was so thick-skinned that they actually nodded.
I saw the Jade Emperor's expression getting even weirder.
"Tathagata Buddha, there is something you may not know."
"Although there were floods in the mortal world, they did not have much impact."
"impossible!"
The ancient Buddha of Ran Deng shouted directly.
"Great Heavenly Lord, that sea-fixing needle is a divine object that can anchor the world's rivers and seas."
"The Stone Monkey took away the Sea-Dinging Needle and all the rivers and seas in the world surged. How could it not have a big impact?"
The Jade Emperor stopped talking and waved his hand.
Then a huge mirror appeared in the sky above the Lingxiao Palace.
Some pictures appeared on the mirror, which were scenes from the human world.
The picture shows a lake, with huge waves tens of meters high breaking out of the river embankment and flowing towards the villages on both sides.
Just when the flood was about to reach the village, a long figure appeared in the sky.
Then, the flood water actually backed up, and the entire lake became calm.
"That's...a dragon!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva screamed in surprise.
Everyone in the Buddhist sect looked shocked.
The burning ancient Buddha's face was ashen.
"Assholes, these dragon bastards dare to rob the power of merit, which is the merit of Buddhism!"
This is a bit shameless to say.
After all, in his subconscious mind, this flood should have been stopped by Buddhism.
The power of merit belongs to Buddhism.
At this time, Tai seemed to have remembered something and glared at the Jade Emperor.
"Great Heavenly Lord, why did you let the Dragon Clan control the water?"
His expression was ferocious, as if the Jade Emperor would go up and fight for his life if he said the wrong thing.
That is a huge amount of merit, once it is captured by Buddhism.
It will definitely be a huge help to the great prosperity of Buddhism.
But now, it was actually snatched away by the Dragon Clan.
Most of the dragon clan served in heaven, so he immediately thought that they were the dragon clan ordered by the Jade Emperor.
However, the Jade Emperor shook his head slightly.
"I never ordered the Dragon Clan to control the water."
What?
Not the Jade Emperor?
Everyone in the Buddhist sect looked at each other.
The ancient Buddha Ran Deng looked unbelieving.
"If there is no decree from heaven, how can they dare to show up in the mortal world privately."
"You must know that the dragon clan is a subordinate of the heaven and is responsible for spreading clouds and rain."
However, the Jade Emperor still had a calm expression on his face.
"What Buddha Ran Deng said is true, but the Dragon Clan is affiliated with my Heavenly Family."
"But if I guessed correctly, Buddhism has already been in contact with the Dragon Clan."
"If nothing else happens, the Dragon Clan will all be Buddhists sooner or later."
"Don't you know why the Dragon Clan wants to control the water on its own?"
"It is precisely because someone in the Dragon Clan saw the Buddhist plan that they turned against you."
Ran Deng Ancient Buddha didn’t believe it even more.
The dragon clan's strength is low and they don't even have a quasi-sage. How can they see through the Buddhist plan?
However, these things cannot be stated openly.
"Great Heavenly Lord, no matter what, the Dragon Clan is still a subordinate of Heavenly Court."
"Please also ask the Great Heavenly Lord to order the Dragon Clan to stop water control."
What he wants to say more is, don’t let the Dragon Clan rob the merits that should belong to Buddhism anymore!
Although I don’t understand what’s wrong with the Dragon Clan, they actually dare to go against Buddhism.
However, with the Jade Emperor as the leader, it would be good to put pressure on him and let him curb the dragon clan's behavior.
However, the Jade Emperor had no such idea at all.
"It is not appropriate for heaven to interfere too much with matters in the lower realm. I am the Jade Emperor and am in charge of all affairs in the heaven."
"If you interfere too much in mortal affairs, you will be contaminated by mortal causes and effects."
"By then, things will only get more serious."
The Jade Emperor is not stupid either. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Dragon Clan is at odds with Buddhism.
It's up to you what you want to do as a Buddhist, but you can't do it with me.
Do I look like a free laborer?
I am still the Lord of Heaven!
Besides, things are getting weirder and weirder now.
That Huaguo Mountain alone gave me a headache.
He even planned to give up his plan to travel to the west.
And the dragon clan went to Huaguo Mountain, and then they fell out with Buddhism.
If you say it has nothing to do with Huaguo Mountain, the Jade Emperor would not believe it.
At this time, as long as it involves matters related to Huaguo Mountain.
Even the Jade Emperor planned to stay away from him.
