Watching the Taibai Venus disappear into the sky in the clouds, He Xie fell into deep thought.
In the previous conversation with Taibai Jinxing, aside from the meaningless pleasantries and business compliments, he said a total of four things.
First, he mentioned the rampant demons in Hezhou, Xiniu;
Second, instead of the Jade Emperor, He Xie was invited to attend the peach feast three years later;
Third, it talks about the amazing background of the Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle;
Fourth, he told some anecdotes about heaven and gods.
He Xie didn't believe that a confidant of the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the Three Realms, would come to Lingshan and tell a little Arhat like him a lot of useless things, so he was sure that these four things must have something to say.
Maybe I want to warn myself or remind myself of something.
He Xie pondered for a long time, then suddenly turned around and said to a monk behind him: "Go and ask, who has Taibai Jinxing visited or met since he came to Lingshan?"
"Yes, venerable sir." The bhikkhu accepted the order and left.
He Xie returned to the Buddhist hall and sat on a futon, closing his eyes to rest and wait quietly.
Not long after, the bhikkhu came back and reported: "Honorable Sir, my disciples have made it clear that after the good and evil angels came to Lingshan, they first went to see the Buddha, and then came directly to our Bukongshan Buzheng Temple. They didn't visit anyone, and they never met him.
Who?"
"No?" He Xie frowned.
Visiting the Buddha is the right thing to do. After all, the Lingshan Buddha is the master. It is impossible for Taibai Jinxing to bypass the Buddha and post directly to himself. This is a rule and etiquette.
But these words are definitely not what the Buddha told Taibai Jinxing to say to him.
So, is the original meaning of heaven?
"What does it mean?" He Xie fell into hard thinking again and just told him that it was important to understand this.
He went through the whole process from the beginning.
The first thing Taibai said was that demons were rampant in Hezhou, Xiniu, and he specifically mentioned that it was not like this last time he came here.
By the way, Taibaijinxing also specifically mentioned the time - one year ago in the celestial year.
In other words, it was 365 years ago on earth.
He Xie's heart moved, he looked at the monk in front of him, and asked with a pleasant expression: "Kongjian, how long have you been in Lingshan?"
The bhikkhu bowed and said: "Replying to the Reverend Sir, it has been five hundred and thirty-four years since I came to Lingshan."
He Xie nodded and asked again: "Then do you still remember what happened on Lingshan Mountain from the last peach banquet to now?"
Kong Jian was a little confused and said hesitantly: "This disciple is stupid and cannot understand the true meaning of the Venerable."
He Xie waved his hand and said, "Just tell me whatever you want, just tell me some of the things you remember."
Although Kong Jian was still puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions. He sorted out his thoughts and started to talk.
"To say that the biggest thing that has happened in the past three hundred years is that Venerable Dapeng came out of Lingshan..."
He Xie's eyes widened instantly, this is it!
He didn't expect that the first thing Sora Mi said might be the answer he wanted to hear.
Following Kong Jian's eloquent talk, He Xie gradually understood the whole story of the major event that happened about three hundred years ago and shocked the Buddhas in Lingshan - at least on the surface.
Kongjian was only the lowest monk on Lingshan Mountain, and the things he could know were extremely limited. However, just this superficial thing was enough to shock He Xie beyond words.
It is said that more than 300 years ago, on the eve of the last peach feast, the Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle was still the Arhat of the Western religion.
Although this demon is an Arhat, its status on the Lingshan Mountain is comparable to that of Buddha. Even ordinary Bodhisattvas dare not mess with it.
This is not only because there is a Buddha and a Buddha Mother standing behind it, but also because the entire demon clan of Western religion, consisting of millions of demons and ghosts, is headed by the Golden-winged Dapeng.
The Buddha standing behind the golden-winged roc is naturally the Ancient Buddha of Lanterns. This Buddha is the first Buddha in Lingshan and has a transcendent status.
In fact, the Buddha Mother is not the real fruition status, but the current Buddha recognizes her mother, so she is called this name. Her real fruition status is King Ming, Peacock Great Ming King.
Taibai Jinxing also mentioned this connection. The Peacock King of Ming Dynasty was Kong Xuan, the unparalleled villain in the Battle of the Gods. This man had outstanding achievements. His natal magical power, the five-color divine light, was said to be able to capture everything within the five elements.
Nothing is indestructible, and he successively defeated Jiang Ziya, Yang Jian, Nezha, Lu Ya, Ran Deng Buddha and others. In the end, it was the saint who proposed marriage and used the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to subdue him.
Not only was Kong Xuan powerful in cultivation, his status and bloodline were also extremely noble.
When the chaos of heaven and earth first emerged, it was still a world of dragons, phoenixes and unicorns. The first phoenix in the world received the yin and yang energy of the heaven and earth, so it gave birth to two lives. One was the first peacock in the world - Kong Xuan, and the other
It is the first great roc in the world, the golden-winged roc eagle.
It is precisely because of the noble lineage and status of the Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle that it not only has a transcendent status in Lingshan, but also in the entire three realms, which immortal and god from all walks of life would not give him some favor?
It stands to reason that for such a demon king, it would be easy for him to join a Western religion and become a Bodhisattva. However, for some unknown reason, he got the status of Arhat.
From the heaven to the underworld, from the four continents to the four seas, the Golden-winged Dapeng can be said to have a wide range of friends. As Taibai Jinxing said, the people he interacts with are all leaders, dragon kings, Yama emperors and the like, and they are precious beyond words.
The Golden-winged Dapeng is considered to have the lowest attainment status. Naturally, his mentality is not peaceful, so he has many grievances with the Buddha.
That's all. The most terrible thing is that he is not qualified to participate in every peach feast. Although his brother Peacock King Ming will not be short of his peaches, what others give and what he gets are definitely not the same.
the same.
So on the eve of the last Pan Peach Banquet, the Golden Winged Dapeng once again failed to get an invitation from Pan Peach Garden.
At first, the Golden-winged Dapeng's goal was directly at Heaven. He thought that Heaven did not respect him and did not take him seriously, so he entangled hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers and generals. Even the Bull Demon King at that time was a Golden-winged Dapeng.
Under his subordinates, a group of demons attacked the Heavenly Court, and used the Kunpeng's magical power outside the Nantian Gate to swallow up a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals in one go, showing their overwhelming power.
With such a big thing happening, the Jade Emperor naturally asked Buddha for an explanation. Your people are making such a big fuss now, what do you think we should do?
The Buddha naturally could not afford the great cause and effect that disturbed the three realms, so he personally took action and planned to deal with the golden-winged roc.
But at this time, the background of Golden-winged Dapeng became the biggest obstacle.
The Deng-burning Buddha, the Peacock King, and all the demon tribes stood behind the Golden Winged Peng. Not only that, but eight of the twelve Bodhisattvas, the five hundred Arhats, and most of the ten great kings also stood.
Behind the golden-winged roc.
Not only that, but what embarrassed the Buddha was that in terms of seniority, he had to call the golden-winged roc uncle.
Therefore, it was impossible to subdue directly by force, but the matter had to be explained to the Heavenly Court. In the end, the Heavenly Court, the Western Sect, and the Golden-winged Dapeng negotiated outside the Nantian Gate. The final result was that the Golden-winged Dapeng still failed to achieve their wish.
, led a group of monsters out of Lingshan in anger, and the matter ended up being left unsolved.
