Chapter 364 Tathagata: Amitabha, Buddhists will start eating vegetarian food from today [1000 monthly tickets plus more]
It didn't rain.
But the atmosphere was not harmonious.
There was no uproar in Yao Chi.
However, the expressions of all the powerful beings in the heavens began to become interesting.
Unexpectedly, this year's Peach Banquet had just begun, and the protagonist of the Banquet, the Great Emperor Changsheng, was already facing off against the Buddha Tathagata who had just stole the limelight.
In the past, when the Six Heavenly Emperors and the CEO of the Western Religion were having fun, ordinary Daluo would not dare to join in.
This level of competition has a huge impact.
But today is a special day.
Moreover, it was obvious that the Great Emperor Changsheng was deliberately attacking the Buddha Tathagata.
This is so exciting.
Even the most powerful warriors were inevitably attracted here.
The Peach Banquet has been held many times so far, but this is the first time that such an exciting thing happened at the opening.
No one dared to make a noise.
Those who can appear at the Peach Banquet all have a background, and they will not point fingers like ordinary spectators.
The main reason is that they don’t dare to point fingers openly.
But there are quite a few private group chats.
"What's going on?"
"What a big cicada... Wait, is this a golden cicada?"
"The Great Emperor Changsheng just returned and he killed the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha?"
"It would be fine if they just killed it, but they even fried it and let the Tathagata Buddha eat it... As expected of the Southern Emperor of Immortality, he is so domineering."
"The Tathagata Buddha just defeated the incarnation of the saint. The Emperor Changsheng is looking for trouble with the Tathagata Buddha at this time. I'm afraid the saint has his intentions behind it."
"The Tathagata Buddha also has saints supporting him. Could it be that Lady Nuwa is going to confront Lingbao Tianzun?"
"@Zhenyuan Daxian, what do you think?"
"I saw it with my own eyes... Seriously speaking, Jin Chanzi was the first to propose the reformation of Western religion into Buddhism. Changsheng Emperor's killing of Jin Chanzi should be related to this matter."
"Why would the Great Emperor Changsheng stand up for the Western Religion?"
"It is said that the first person that Changsheng Emperor paid his respects to after ascending to heaven was Nuwa. Could it be Nuwa's instruction?"
"Nuwa and the two saints from the West have joined forces?"
"Saints 3v3? That's not right. Isn't the Southern Pole Changsheng Great Emperor the Jade Pure True King? Yuanshi Tianwang, who sees it this way, may not necessarily stand on the side of Lingbao Tianzun."
"See how Tathagata Buddha responds."
All the guests present looked at Tathagata Buddha.
The Great Emperor Changsheng made his move.
And you?
The face of Tathagata Buddha... gradually became gloomy.
Of course, he easily realized that the feast in front of him was his second disciple.
It would have been fine if Ji Changsheng had killed Jin Chanzi, but he actually let Him eat it.
He has been roaming the ancient fairyland for countless years, and has never been slapped in the face like this.
"Is the Great Emperor Changsheng provoking this poor monk?"
Tathagata stood up from the seat beside Tongtian Jiaozhu.
Look directly at Ji Changsheng's edge.
The atmosphere in Yao Chi suddenly became tense.
Other powerful people also began to dance with joy.
All the heavens and worlds are divided into classes.
Of course, Yao Chi is also divided.
At every Peach Banquet, the arrangement of guests at each table is carefully considered.
The Queen Mother was able to host so many Peach Banquets and arrange every guest properly, so that no major conflicts would arise openly at each Banquet. What this revealed was the Queen Mother's superb organizational ability.
This point alone has already widened the gap between him and the Pure Yang Taoist.
Talented bloodlines can be inherited, but execution, organizational talent, emotional intelligence, planning, endurance, and interpersonal skills... these are all the result of one's own cultivation.
Even if you are born with a good hand, you still need to practice, but the areas that require practice are just limited.
The Queen Mother of the West also did very well in her postnatal cultivation.
There were disputes at the Peach Banquet in the past, but as long as they did not happen at the main table, she would always be able to resolve them immediately.
But this time, the Queen Mother couldn't solve it.
So the other powerful ones began to get excited.
The two powerful men who had a conflict this time were both chief officials.
And sitting in the chief position were six saints and six of the saints' direct disciples.
If it weren't for the home advantage, Haotian and Queen Mother would not have been qualified to sit at this table.
The conflict that occurred at this table cannot be appeased by anyone except a saint.
The powerful people sitting at other tables have the opportunity to watch the powerful people at the chief table fighting each other, which is more stimulating to them than the Peach Banquet.
It is a very strange thing to say: the powerful beings who are eligible to be invited to the Peach Banquet actually do not need peaches. Those creatures who need peaches are not eligible to participate in the Peach Banquet.
Rather than tasting the peaches, the powerful people all wanted to watch the drama of the battle between the Emperor of Immortality and the Buddha Tathagata.
The Buddha did not disappoint them.
He chose to confront the enemy head on.
"What did Jin Chanzi do wrong to provoke the Great Emperor Changsheng to kill him? I need an explanation."
Ji Changsheng's answer made all the powerful people present feel numb.
"When we killed Jin Chanzi, the reason given to him was that he evaded taxes and colluded with Dou Mu. But today, all the wise men and powerful people have gathered, so I will not insult your intelligence."
Ji Changsheng once again exchanged his true feelings for his true feelings: "Jin Chanzi died because he was your second disciple. Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
Arrogant.
The arrogance is overwhelming.
You asked for reasons, I'm too lazy to make them up.
The powerful beings in the heavens have seen countless young people with great vigor.
Even though Ji Changsheng was so arrogant, they still felt enlightened.
"The Great Emperor of Immortality... is even better in person than in fame."
"Warn my disciples that when you go out in the future, you must not provoke the Southern Pole Changsheng Emperor."
"@九天玄女, 玄女, I heard that the Great Emperor Changsheng was on good terms with you before he returned this time. Has he always been so brave after his reincarnation?"
Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu replied with a string of ellipsis marks in the group chat.
She was also shocked.
When Ji Changsheng was in the lower world, the image he and Li Huanyan presented to her was that of a loving couple, without any of the arrogance and domineering behavior they have now.
It's true that I have a bad eye for men.
Men have too many sides.
In fact, Queen Mother of the West did not realize that her judgment of women was not very good.
Now Li Huanyan was standing behind Nuwa, but she didn't look at her and Holy Mother Yuanjun at all.
Men are not the only ones who are multifaceted.
Even other powerful beings were shocked by Ji Changsheng's arrogance, with Tathagata Buddha being the first to be affected, and of course it was even more difficult for him to adapt.
He was a little confused by Ji Changsheng's criticism.
This is the first time I’ve seen someone more reckless than the disciples of Jiejiao.
Then the Buddha looked at Nuwa.
I found that Goddess Nuwa was already sitting leisurely in the chief seat.
When Nuwa found that Buddha was looking at her, she smiled at him.
"You guys continue chatting, don't bother me."
Then the Buddha understood that Ji Changsheng's behavior was not what Nuwa wanted.
After realizing this, Tathagata Buddha laughed out of anger: "It seems that the Great Emperor Changsheng is coming for this poor monk."
Ji Changsheng corrected: "To be precise, I came here to slap you in the face."
Buddha Tathagata: "The Great Emperor Changsheng has indeed become a disciple of the Saint Zhunti."
Subhuti had told him this when he stopped him before.
Of course Tathagata could think of this.
However, this matter has not been leaked yet.
So when the Buddha revealed this matter, the Yao Chi was finally no longer silent.
Many powerful people looked at the Saint Zhunti in astonishment.
The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole actually wants to take the Saint Zhunti as his master. This is big news.
They had never heard of it before.
Moreover, this matter itself is suspicious.
"The eldest son of Yuanshi Tianwang takes Zhunti Saint as his master?"
“The story is getting more and more outrageous.”
"After the return of the Southern Pole Changsheng Great Emperor, his relationship with Nuwa even surpassed that with Yuanshi Tianwang."
"Could it be that the rumors are true, and Ji Changsheng is not the Jade Pure True King?"
"There's no smoke without fire, and it's getting more and more exciting."
"@Holy Mother Yuanjun, Yuanjun, your disciple has found a good Taoist partner."
Holy Mother Yuanjun also replied with an ellipsis.
She, like Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu, was extremely shocked at this moment.
Ji Changsheng and Li Huanyan, especially Ji Changsheng, were much more complicated than they had initially thought.
"@Guangchengzi, Brother Guangcheng, did you know about this matter beforehand?"
As the first disciple of Yuanshi Tianwang, Guangchengzi was originally qualified to be the chief.
But as the gatekeeper of Daluo, Guangchengzi, who had never broken through the Daluo realm, could sit at the head table on behalf of Yuanshi Tianwang when Yuanshi Tianwang did not attend. This year's Peach Banquet, Yuanshi Tianwang personally attended, and Guangchengzi resolutely sat at the table of disciples of the Chan Sect.
It's embarrassing not to be the chief.
He has been in the industry for a long time and has a lot of experience, but his ability is not particularly high, so he still has a wide circle of friends.
After being cueed, Guang Chengzi silently replied: "I am as shocked as you all."
"Even Daoist Guangcheng doesn't know. It seems that the Great Emperor Changsheng didn't communicate with the Chan Sect."
"Could it be that the Heavenly Court is taking advantage of the internal strife in the Western Church to get a piece of the pie?"
"Don't talk nonsense, listen to what the Emperor Changsheng has to say himself."
Ji Changsheng would certainly not deny that he took Zhunti Saint as his master.
He always does things openly and honestly, never hiding anything.
"Yes, I am going to use this opportunity to announce to the world that I have become your disciple."
Having said that, Ji Changsheng turned around and performed the disciple’s salute to the Saint Zhunti.
"Disciple meets teacher."
Facing the gazes of many powerful people, Zhun stood up and personally helped Ji Changsheng up.
The face is flushed.
He was really moved.
Before, Ji Changsheng said that he was going to kill Jin Chanzi, and Zhunti guessed that Jin Chanzi would die.
He certainly had no doubts about Ji Changsheng's ability. A mere Golden Cicada could not possibly defeat Ji Changsheng.
But he really didn't expect that the golden cicada would be made into a dish.
At the beginning of the Peach Banquet, Ji Changsheng forced Tathagata to eat the fried golden cicada.
All of this was Ji Changsheng's filial piety as a disciple to his teacher.
He couldn't help being moved.
Saints also have their own emotions and preferences.
Of course, Zhunti also likes to be respected and doesn't like to be slapped in the face.
He is normal.
"Good boy."
Although this was not in His plan.
But he could not refuse the respect and gift given to him by Ji Changsheng.
Ji Changsheng said sternly, "If the master is humiliated, the subject will die. If the teacher is humiliated, the disciple will never sit idly by. As a teacher, it is natural for the big to bully the small to argue with Tathagata. Teacher, please go back and sit down first. This is a small matter, and the disciple will handle it himself."
The Saint Zhunti nodded: "Okay."
As I said, he believed in Ji Changsheng's methods.
Of course, He also believes in Tathagata's strength.
In a fair fight, with Tathagata's strength and energy, he should be the one with the upper hand.
But it is obvious that this time it was Ji Changsheng who took the initiative to attack Tathagata and already had the advantage of being the first to attack.
However, Tathagata had never expected that Ji Changsheng would attack him, and he had to respond hastily, and the defensive counterattack was not so easy to launch.
One side had made plans in advance, while the other side was caught off guard.
Zhunti didn't think Ji Changsheng would lose this game.
Ji Changsheng did not disappoint Him.
"For the sake of Third Uncle, Tathagata, I will give you one more chance. Eat it and I will forgive you. Otherwise, the newly established Buddhism may face a catastrophe."
Tathagata smiled, his smile was very mocking: "Just you?"
Ji Changsheng also laughed: "You are shameless, is it your Third Uncle who gave you the courage?"
Master Tongtian frowned.
He was really in a dilemma.
After all, Tathagata was his former disciple. Although he had apparently cut off all cause and effect, that was only on the surface.
The Sacred Heart is also made of flesh.
Even if a man and a woman break up, they will still have some connection.
How could it be so easy to sever the relationship between master and disciple?
This time, Tathagata took the initiative to visit him and called him teacher again, and Tongtian Jiaozhu did not refuse.
There's no way, I've loved you.
But Master Tongtian also knew that Ji Changsheng was now working for the Three Pure Ones.
It is also unrealistic to ask him to make things difficult for Ji Changsheng just for a former disciple with whom he has already severed the karmic relationship.
Even if Master Tongtian has no brains, he still has a limit.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
So He just frowned and said, "Changsheng, Tathagata, please give me a favor and sit down to talk."
The Buddha is willing to give this face to Tongtian Jiaozhu.
So He sat down.
But Ji Changsheng did not give Tongtian this face.
"Uncle San, please give me some face and don't interfere in what happened today."
Tongtian Sect Master was a little unhappy: "Changsheng, my words are useless?"
Ji Changsheng ignored Tongtian Jiaozhu's unhappiness.
The stage is set.
There was no way he would give up today's magnificent performance just for Master Tongtian.
Emotional intelligence is situation-specific. Today is his home court and he has a clear purpose, so he is too lazy to use his emotional intelligence.
"Uncle San, each generation has its own way of solving problems. You are a saint of the older generation, so just take care of the grudges of your older generation. If something goes wrong, go find the parents. Tathagata, haven't you been weaned?"
Tongtian Jiaozhu and Tathagata Buddha were both furious.
Ji Changsheng's words were too disrespectful.
But at this moment, Yu Linglong whispered in Master Xuandu's ear: "Teacher, I was the one who killed Jin Chanzi."
Master Xuandu was stunned, and looked at his beloved daughter whom he had just raised in astonishment, and then glanced at Ji Huangmao who was showing his edge.
Then he reluctantly passed the message to Saint Taiqing.
Saint Taiqing was also speechless for a second.
When you eat melons, you can also eat yourself.
The fuse for the emotional conflict between Ji Changsheng and Tathagata was actually caused by the Taiqing lineage.
How can this be dealt with? A second later, the Saint Taiqing decided to stand up and administer justice: "Third brother, sit down."
Before Master Tongtian’s anger bar was fully charged, he was interrupted by Saint Taiqing.
"Brother, I..."
The Saint Taiqing said in a deep voice: "Changsheng is right. Each generation has its own solution. Tathagata is a Daluo leader. Does he still need you to stand up for him? Don't you think it's shameful to bully the weak? Sit down."
Master Tongtian: “…”
The painful past of fighting side by side with Tathagata Buddha in the Zhuxian Sword Formation during the Conferred God Tribulation and then being killed by the eldest brother is still vivid in his mind.
He had always thought that he was better than his elder and second brothers.
Now He began to be humble.
I am definitely stronger than my second brother. My eldest brother... is older than me. The future of Sanqing belongs to me.
He is still the eldest brother now.
Respect the old and love the young, and the eldest brother is also upholding justice.
So Master Tongtian had no choice but to give up.
He didn't see it, and Saint Taiqing glanced at Master Xuandu.
Master Xuandu glanced at Yu Linglong again.
Yu Linglong lowered her head silently.
The Buddha stood up again awkwardly.
It is obvious that he is stronger than Ji Changsheng, but now he is clearly at a disadvantage.
What's wrong with the teacher? Why are you so obedient now? During the Conferred God Tribulation, the teacher had no respect for the Great Purity Saint.
Could it be that he was defeated? That shouldn't be the case.
Tathagata, with his own experience, felt that his teacher would definitely be very stubborn and would never give in.
Unexpectedly, Tongtian betrayed Toutiewa's camp.
Miscalculated.
Buddha Tathagata was very angry.
The consequences are not serious.
"Tathagata, there is no such thing as three times the limit. I will give you one last chance. Eat the golden cicada and I can let go of your disrespect to the teacher. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."
The Buddha put his hands together and wanted to take action directly.
Then Haotian coughed lightly.
It directly shook apart Tathagata's clasped hands.
Buddha Tathagata looked at Haotian in shock.
The other powerful men also had surprised looks on their faces.
What's going on? After the Saint Zhunti and the Saint Taiqing sided with the Great Emperor Changsheng, Haotian is also going to side with the Great Emperor Changsheng? Haotian, who was being watched by many powerful people, looked indifferent.
The others guessed correctly.
He did stand on Ji Changsheng's side.
The reason was very simple: Ji Changsheng informed him in advance.
After this, Lingshan Society nominally became a subordinate organization of Heaven.
You must know that the Taoist tradition of the saints will never submit to the Heavenly Court, and Haotian does not have the courage to incorporate the Taoist tradition of the saints.
But Tathagata himself reformed Western religions into Buddhism.
Due to the presence of the two saints in the West, the Western Church of Heaven did not dare to recruit them.
But now Western religions are gone, and the leader of Buddhism is Tathagata Buddha.
Tathagata...Haotian is just wary, not afraid at all.
This Emperor of Heaven is really powerful, he can only endure a little bit.
If you don't seize the opportunity when it comes, you will be punished by God.
Moreover, Ji Changsheng was willing to take the initiative to be the vanguard in conquering Buddhism.
He just needs to support Ji Changsheng at the appropriate time.
Why not? After the Tathagata reorganized Buddhism, he did not share any benefits with him.
After Ji Changsheng entered the Heavenly Court, what he openly talked about with him was how to strengthen the entire Heavenly Court.
There is no reason for Haotian not to support Ji Changsheng.
So, Tathagata was numb.
After leaving Heaven, he thought he could defeat Haotian.
But in Heaven, he was not sure he could defeat Haotian.
"Your Majesty, do you also intend to make an enemy of this poor monk?" Buddha Tathagata asked in a serious tone.
The answer to this question was important to Him.
Haotian chuckled: "Today is a grand event hosted by the Queen. Since it is a grand event, peace is naturally the most important thing. If we fight at the grand event, wouldn't it be a big spoiler?"
Tathagata felt relieved.
That means there is still room for discussion.
He realized that Haotian wanted benefits.
In fact, when He came to Heaven this time, He also intended to discuss cooperation with Haotian.
It’s just that He had just reformed Western religions into Buddhism, and there were so many things to do and so much to be done, so He was very busy.
And in Tathagata's mind, the first person he wanted to visit was Tongtian Jiaozhu.
Haotian must be ranked behind Tongtian Jiaozhu.
So He didn't have time to talk to Haotian.
I have to say that compared with Ji Changsheng's efficiency, the efficiency of Tathagata Buddha is too low.
Up to now, the entire circle of powerful people has still not adapted to Ji Changsheng's efficiency.
Tathagata had a good plan.
Compared with other powerful beings, His efficiency is not low.
Unfortunately, he met Ji Changsheng, the master of time management.
So one step slow, every step slow.
"Your Majesty, I will discuss this with Your Majesty after the Peach Banquet today."
Haotian heard the voice of Tathagata.
Haotian nodded slightly and did not express his opinion again.
The agreement he reached with Ji Changsheng was to suppress Tathagata from taking action at the Peach Banquet.
Leave the rest to Ji Changsheng.
If Tathagata is willing to submit to him voluntarily, he would certainly be happy to see it happen.
He had no objection if Ji Changsheng could directly suppress Tathagata.
The stage belongs to Ji Changsheng.
He continued to be a spectator.
Seeing that Haotian no longer interfered, Tathagata was completely relieved.
"Emperor Changsheng, how about a bet with me? I have just cultivated a magical power, the Buddha Kingdom in my palm. If Emperor Changsheng can leave the Buddha Kingdom before the end of the Peach Banquet, you win and I will eat the golden cicada. If Emperor Changsheng cannot leave the Buddha Kingdom, I will not make things difficult for him. I will only suppress Emperor Changsheng for 500 years to serve as a warning to others."
As soon as Tathagata finished speaking, he was met with Ji Changsheng's contemptuous look.
"Are you ill?"
Tathagata: “…”
"It's my territory and I'm the boss. Only a fool would bet with you. Well, since you won't cry until you see the coffin, I'll let you see the coffin."
Ji Changsheng raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
A projection was then projected into the air.
In the projection, the moonlight is cold.
A bitter monk knelt in front of a stunningly beautiful woman.
Tathagata's eyes instantly turned red with anger.
"Mahakasyapa, Li Changxi."
Mahakasyapa, the first disciple of Tathagata.
Today, Li Changxi did not attend the Peach Banquet.
Ji Changsheng snapped his fingers again.
Projection reproduction.
The coast of the East China Sea.
The true form of the Jiao Demon King was revealed.
The dragon swung its tail.
A monk whose appearance had not yet been clearly seen was thrown into the sea, and his life or death was unknown.
The Demon King Jiao had not yet arrived at the Peach Banquet.
Ji Changsheng snapped his fingers for the third time.
This time, it’s Lingshan.
Maudgalyayana, who was known as the best divine eye in the West, had black light emitting from his eyes, his face was in pain, and his body was struggling.
It looks like a person who has gone astray.
Maudgalyayana, one of the ten great disciples of Tathagata.
Ji Changsheng snapped his fingers for the fourth time.
Another projection appeared.
"That's enough."
The Buddha's heart exploded.
He doesn't understand.
How could Ji Changsheng have so much time to do so many things? Actually, Ji Changsheng didn't understand.
How long does it take to tell a few words? One minute or two minutes? None of the ten great disciples of Tathagata is a Daluo.
When the Ji party took action, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Maitreya Buddha acted as internal support.
Isn't it a matter of minutes to deal with them? Does it take time?
These powerful Daluo masters are really inefficient.
Ji Changsheng pointed to the dish of fried cicadas.
"Eat it all within one minute, and your other disciples can live."
"Otherwise, I'll cook your other disciples into dishes, and you can eat them all."
"Tathagata, you choose for yourself."
…
At the banquet that year, all the powerful people gathered and stood like minions. Tathagata swore with tears in his eyes: Buddhists will eat vegetarian food from today on! The Emperor of Immortality returned for his first show and amazed everyone.
