This monk only knows so much about the situation. As a low-level disciple, the truth he knows is often only the most superficial, and the sources of information are hearsay, which may not necessarily be accurate.
He Xie asked a few more questions and waved his hand to let the bhikkhu go down.
More than three hundred years ago, Taibai Jinxing came to Xiniuhezhou. Although there were demons at that time, they were all bound by Western religions. Everyone acted according to the rules of the Buddha. This place can be regarded as a paradise.
But the Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle was stimulated because he was not invited to the peach feast. In a rage, he attacked the heaven and devoured one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals. After that, not only did nothing happen, but he also led the monsters directly out of Lingshan Mountain.
After the incident with the Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle, the demon clan began to disobey the rules, and Xiniu Hezhou began to become chaotic, gradually creating this scene of devastation.
The Buddha's uncle was unable to attend the Peach Banquet because he was not qualified to be an Arhat, but He Xie, who was also an Arhat, was invited by the Jade Emperor. This matter will definitely cause a stir in Lingshan.
And it is conceivable that when the golden-winged roc hears this news, it is very likely that he will come to trouble He Xie.
This is the hidden meaning in Taibaijinxing's words.
Is he here to remind himself to be careful that the Golden-winged Dapeng will come to cause trouble?
Or - warning myself not to provoke the Golden-winged Dapeng?
He Xie never believed that the Jade Emperor was showing favor by inviting him to the Peach Banquet, so there must be a deep meaning in it.
Could it be that he wants to stir up civil strife in Lingshan?
For example, to stir up the nerves of Golden-winged Dapeng and make him come to trouble him? To make trouble for Lingshan?
It's possible...
But He Xie thinks it's more than that.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to think carefully.
In addition to these, Taibai Jinxing also chatted with himself some interesting anecdotes about heaven and gods. It seemed like a casual chat to liven up the atmosphere, but maybe it contained the answer He Xie wanted.
Regarding heaven, Taibaijinxing said three things.
The first thing he talked about was that Yue Lao discovered that the Zaoyi Fairy among the seven fairies had secretly communicated with the Taoist Immortal Shui De Zhenjun. When the Jade Emperor learned about it, he was very angry and wanted to punish these two people. He had sex with Shui De Xingjun in the heaven.
It was useless to plead for mercy from all the good gods. Even Taishang Laojun stayed behind closed doors to avoid suspicion and was unwilling to take part in this matter. In the end, Guanyin and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva came to the door and persuaded the Jade Emperor and Mingyue.
Lao cut the red line between the two men and pardoned them.
The second thing is to follow the story of the Soap Fairy and talk about the whole Seven Fairies.
Taibai Jinxing said that the Seven Fairies were kind-hearted. After learning that the seven spider spirits had taken over their Zhuogu Spring, they were afraid that if this matter was reported to the Heavenly Court, it would cause the Heavenly Court to exterminate the seven demons, and the seven spiders would end up with their thousand-year cultivation in vain.
suffered a tragic end, so he chose to swallow his anger.
As a result, the incident was discovered by the Buddha, and Venerable Ananda took the initiative to report to the Heavenly Court, proposing to eradicate the seven demons. Taishang Laojun and other Taoist people also urged the eradication of the seven spider spirits to maintain the majesty of the Heavenly Court, but Guanyin and others
Eight Bodhisattvas, as well as two Buddhas, Ran Deng and Duobao, also came forward. In addition, the gods and generals in heaven supported the seven fairies and spared the seven spider spirits.
This incident - is even more bizarre. It has basically brought the relationship and contradictions between the major forces to the fore.
The third thing is about the philanthropic boy under Taishang Laojun who was accused by the Barefoot Immortal of accepting bribes and reselling elixirs. The Jade Emperor stated that this was Taishang Laojun’s family matter and did not want to take care of it. But not long after, Taishang Laojun
Shang Laojun personally abolished the cultivation of the good boy and sent him to the Lingxiao Palace to accept the punishment of heaven.
Through these three things Taibai Jinxing said, plus the previous incident that went unsolved after the Golden-winged Dapeng attacked the Heavenly Court, He Xie can basically draw a preliminary conclusion-Buddha and Taishang Laojun are allies, and the two
They are against the journey to the West; while the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and the Heavenly Court all support the journey to the West and have the same appeal and stance.
Although Buddha and Taishang Laojun are the big bosses, the forces of Heaven and Bodhisattva often make the two big bosses miserable. It can be said that the two sides are evenly matched.
As for the Monster Clan, it is the middle force that the two forces draw together, use and suppress. Although the Monster Clan is attached to the Western religion and is very popular, the two sides are incompatible with each other and are entangled in cause and effect, and no one wants to provoke them.
After understanding this, He Xie could probably judge that the Jade Emperor's behavior in giving him the tickets to the Peach Banquet must have been ill-intentioned, but what Taibai Jinxing said was probably well-intentioned.
It is a popular science for He Xie, and it is also a reminder and an admonishment.
But He Xie has already entered the game. Unless he wants to leave this world in despair, he can only move forward, not backward.
After figuring out the general intention of Taibai Jinxing's words, He Xie continued to analyze some of the strange information in the words.
There were three questions that deeply troubled him.
First, Taibai Jinxing said that the Peacock Daming King swallowed the Buddha, causing the Buddha to lose his face. The Buddha couldn't kill him several times, and finally he held his nose and recognized him as the Buddha's mother.
Regardless of whether Buddha could defeat Kong Xuan or not, even if he couldn't defeat him, there was no need to recognize Kong Xuan as his mother. It would disgust both himself and the other party, right?
What was the reason why Buddha did this?
Kong Xuan’s background is very profound? His cause and effect is very involved?
Secondly, Buddha couldn't deal with Kong Xuan, couldn't he even deal with the Golden-winged Dapeng? Why did he allow the Golden-winged Dapoc to come out of Lingshan, and allowed the monster clan to cause havoc in Xiniu Hezhou for hundreds of years?
Third, why did Taishang Laojun form an alliance with Buddha? Why did they oppose the journey to the west?
These three questions are all related to the Buddha, and judging from the known results of He Xie, the journey to the west was successful in the end, and it seemed that it was promoted by the Buddha, and Taishang Laojun seemed to have helped a lot.
Could it be that later on, the Buddha and the Supreme Lord finally compromised on the alliance between heaven and Bodhisattva?
Among the major forces of Heavenly Court, Western Sect, Taoist Sect, and Monster Clan, only the Monster Clan has completely withdrawn from the stage in the end. They will either die or be reduced to mounts and vassals, with an extremely miserable end.
Is it possible that Journey to the West is actually a plan made by the three major forces against the demon clan?
When the plot of Journey to the West begins, except for the Peacock King, the demon clans such as the Great Powerful King Bodhisattva and the Yellow Wind Bodhisattva have all turned into demons and have nothing to do with the Western religion. What happened that caused all the demon clans to break away?
Western religion?
Although he had more doubts, He Xie vaguely felt that he was getting closer to the truth of the matter.
Understanding the causal logic behind this is crucial for He Xie, a small chess piece in the turbulent society.
He cleared up everything and did not continue to think about it. Whether it was the invitation to the Peach Banquet or the profound meaning of the Taibai Venus, it meant that this matter would definitely have follow-up reactions and could not end without any problems.
Sure enough, the follow-up reaction from He Xie and others came quickly.
A monk came to announce it, and the great Arahant Ananda summoned him.
