"Amitabha." He Xie looked calm, "The poor monk has never understood what the noble envoy said, but the poor monk will definitely report this matter to the great Arahant."
"I'm afraid the Buddha is too weak..." Taibai Jinxing said as if he was joking, "It's just that after suffering Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, when will the underworld be empty?"
He Xie smiled and didn't answer, but he was thinking about the unfinished parts of Taibai Jinxing's words.
"By the way, Your Majesty," Taibai Jinxing suddenly changed the subject, "This time I came here to give you a name card on the order of the Jade Emperor."
"Oh?" He Xie thought.
Taibai Jinxing took out a gold plate from his pocket, handed it to He Xie's hand and said with a smile: "Heaven's annual peach feast is about to begin. The Jade Emperor was overjoyed to learn that the West has taught such wise men as the Venerable.
, I have been specifically asked to come here to invite His Holiness to attend.”
After a pause, Taibai Jinxing sighed: "Your Majesty, you know that since the establishment of the Heavenly Palace, this is the first time that Western Arhats have been invited to this peach banquet. Your Majesty is very kind to your Majesty."
He Xie held this piece of gold foil and couldn't help but be stunned.
What is the purpose of the Jade Emperor's invitation to the peach banquet?
Now, it's not like He Xie didn't know anything when he first arrived. As long as he has a place to enter the Peach Banquet, he will definitely get a flat peach.
In addition to the gods in heaven, some big guys from the lower realms are also invited to attend the Peach Banquet every year, but they are usually the leader, Bodhisattva level, and their cultivation base is basically that of Taiyi Golden Immortal, such as He Xie
This kind of monk from the lower realm who has just cultivated the Arhat Realm is just a mere Xuanxian in terms of rank, and is generally not qualified to participate in it.
After all, the number of flat peaches is limited. According to the information He Xie has learned, the number of flat peaches brought out by the Heavenly Court every time the flat peach meeting is 1,296, one will not be too many, and one will not be less.
The Peach Banquet is held once a year, but one day in heaven is one year on earth. One year in heaven is three hundred and sixty-five years on earth.
Three hundred and sixty-five years, one thousand, two hundred and ninety-six flat peaches were divided. The number of people invited to this flat peach banquet every year was limited to 900 people. Each person attending the banquet only had one flat peach, and the remaining three hundred or so, Buddha,
Fifty coins were divided into each of them, and the rest were prizes and prizes from the banquet program.
It sounds like a lot, but think about it. There are hundreds of thousands of immortals in heaven, and there are even more monks from the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism. However, there are only more than a thousand people who are qualified to eat flat peaches. It can be seen that
How precious is this flat peach?
There are 3,600 flat peach trees in the Heavenly Peach Garden. The first 1,200 trees ripen once every 3,000 years, and people who eat them become immortals. The middle 1,200 trees ripen once every 6,000 years, and people who eat them become immortals.
Twelve hundred plants will ripen once in nine thousand years, and a person who eats them will live as long as the heaven and the earth, and the sun and the moon will have the same age.
This is only the effect of flat peaches on mortals. However, for monks, flat peaches have two greatest effects. One is to increase cultivation, and the other is to ward off disasters.
Monks in this world will be hindered by heavenly calamity every time they advance. Even if they become golden immortals, no matter the immortals, gods or Buddhas, they will have to have a big aunt every five hundred years...
No, it's a disaster.
Every five hundred years, three disasters and six calamities will strike. If you can survive it, you will continue to live forever; if you cannot survive it, your soul will be gone.
The monks of Buddhism and Taoism are really capable of losing their souls, but those in heaven are better. The list of gods will protect the souls of immortal gods. Once the tribulation fails, they can be reborn in the list of gods, but this kind of rebirth requires a price.
It's also huge.
Eating a flat peach will not only greatly increase your cultivation, but also resolve some disasters. This shows how precious the flat peach is. Even for the Buddha, it is a rare treasure.
And now, the Jade Emperor sent an invitation letter to He Xie for the peach banquet, which meant that He Xie had already reserved a flat peach. This was definitely a great opportunity for He Xie.
But why?
He Xie couldn't figure it out, so he had to suppress his doubts and express his gratitude again and again.
He would not be so naive as to think that Heaven was trying to win over him. It was more likely that he had become a chess piece again, but as a chess piece, he could not guess the intentions of the person holding the chess piece.
There is absolutely no trace to be found.
"One day in the sky and one year on the earth." Taibai Jinxing laughed and said, "According to the earth's time, this peach banquet will be in three years. At that time, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will also participate, and the venerable can go to heaven with them.
"
He Xie once again expressed his gratitude and said that he would never miss the time.
"I'm just an errand boy, how dare you thank me?" Taibai Jinxing waved his hands and said with emotion, "It's a shame to say that when I came to Lingshan, I was almost blown out of Xiniu Hezhou by a gust of fans. If I missed the time to send the post,
The old man really deserves to die for his crime."
He Xie was startled and said "Oh": "Who is so bold and dares to offend the noble envoy?"
"It's in Shituoling..." Taibai Jinxing smiled bitterly, shook his head and waved his hands, "Don't mention it, don't mention it! If it were an ordinary monster, it would be fine, but this monster - not only is he capable of cultivation, but his background is also terrifying.
I have no choice but to suffer the consequences of being dumb."
He Xie's thoughts kept turning, but he asked calmly: "Your envoy is the envoy of heaven, representing the mighty power of heaven. No matter how powerful this monster is, is it possible that it can be greater than the emperor of heaven?"
"Although he is not as big as the Emperor of Heaven, he is still a few steps behind." Taibai Jinxing looked around nervously, then leaned over and lowered his voice: "I'm not afraid of His Majesty's jokes. If the goblin eats old age, I'm afraid there's nothing your Majesty can do. It's probably
Give it a little punishment and then let it go."
"So powerful?" He Xie responded with a shocked expression.
Taibai Jinxing said mysteriously: "That's how powerful it is! If the goblin arrives at Lingshan, five hundred arhats will go to greet him. A slip of paper will go up to the heavenly palace, and all the eleven gods will admire him! The dragon kings of the four seas will be friends with him, and eight
The immortals in the cave often meet with him, the kings of hell in the ten places treat each other as brothers, and even the generals in heaven love each other as guests and friends. Do you think he is awesome?"
In fact, when Taibai Jinxing mentioned Shituoling, He Xie knew who he was talking about - it must be the third of the three demons in Shituoling, the golden-winged roc eagle.
But he couldn't figure out what Taibai Jinxing meant by talking about this monster?
"That's really awesome..." He Xie said slowly.
"But that's not the most powerful thing!" Taibai Jinxing lowered his voice again, "Did you know that this monster had an older brother who swallowed the Buddha back then, causing the Buddha to lose his face? The Buddha killed him several times.
No, in the end, you pinched your nose and named him King Ming, and recognized him as the Mother of Buddha? Alas, you said such a monster, how can this little old man offend him?"
"That's really something you can't afford to offend."
