"The venerable one was joking, but I have no intention of embarrassing the venerable one."

Zhen Yuanzi is actually quite helpless. He is a kind-hearted person who treats everyone with kindness. Now he is afraid that his actions will hurt this Western Lingshan, but there is nothing he can do.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly and said: "I must have heard about the return of the completed jade from the Eastern Land to Zhao hundreds of years ago. I am just following the precedent."

"Moreover, I think it is not impossible to achieve at this time. It is said that the World Honored Tathagata can know the past and the future. He must have known about this before it happened. Since he knew it but did not stop the people of your sect from stealing, it must have already happened. The solution is to teach the Lord the Tathagata the magical power of yours, which is probably not a big problem, but I also want to know what kind of magical power can accomplish this."

Guanyin disagreed with Zhen Yuanzi's statement about knowing the past and the future, but she didn't say much because even saying she won would be of no use.

So she didn't delay anymore, resigned from Zhen Yuanzi, and headed to Lingshan. Even if the matter had reached a point where she couldn't solve it, she could only go to Tathagata.

In fact, the Tathagata Buddha can indeed know the past and the future. It's just that he can't always pay attention to the future of everything. After all, if he does that, then he can just pinch his fingers all day long, and there is no need to do other things.

Therefore, things like pinching and calculating are information intercepted from the movement of heaven. The so-called future is equivalent to the most likely thing that will happen in the movement of heaven.

Because of this, if the calculated future happens, it is fate. If it does not happen, it will naturally be because the legendary "escape one" has taken effect.

This is also the reason why gods and Buddhas naturally say, "This is how life should be."

For example, the Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle in the original work directly ate up all the people from the Lion and Camel Kingdom. If someone asked Tathagata why he didn't care about it, they would undoubtedly say, "People from the Lion and Camel Kingdom are destined to die." This is the kind of rhetoric that is destined to cause disaster here.

As for why it is destined, because it is calculated and ignored, it is said that those people have committed evil in the past life and deserve to be reduced to Dapeng food in this life. The people of the country are eaten as food and die. There is no proof. It is perfect.

Besides, I said that if you committed evil in your previous life, you should have committed evil in your previous life, otherwise how could you be eaten by Dapeng?

This shows how ridiculous the idea of ​​cultivating blessings in the afterlife is. A mouthful of Meng Po soup can wash away the past and present lives. How can we cultivate the next life?

However, this is a fantasy world, where there are people who exist, and those who practice Buddhism can achieve great supernatural powers, just like the Guanyin Bodhisattva who has now flown to Lingshan.

Of course, it also includes the World Honored One Tathagata who was beaten by Sun Wukong five hundred years ago and has now restored the Buddhist kingdom in his palm.

I saw Guanyin Bodhisattva and the six-eared macaque arriving at Lingshan Mountain.

Guanyin first put her hands together and saluted and said, "You have seen me, Buddha Tathagata."

The six-eared macaque also followed suit: "Disciples see Tathagata Buddha."

The Tathagata nodded to show that he understood, and then opened and closed his lips like a prophet, and his voice came out as if the reverberation was turned on: "I already know what you are coming, and what happens in the Five Villages Temple has its own destiny."

As soon as he said these words, Guanyin felt very calm.

No, if you say this with the reverb turned on, it's so cool to say it. It's a pity that Kesha didn't come, otherwise we would be able to compete with him on whose surround reverb quality is better.

"What do you think?" Guanyin still planned to ask.

"As far as I know, the only way to return the ginseng fruit is to turn back time." Tathagata continued to turn on the reverberation surround sound and said:

"However, since Pangu broke through the Hongmeng and opened up the pure and turbid worlds, there has never been a reversal of time and space. What the Zhenyuan Immortal did was quite inconsistent with his duty to cultivate the truth. However, the Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine. People run away from each other. Everything has its own destiny, and there is only a way to solve it."

The Tathagata quoted the sayings in the "Yi" to explain the situation in front of the Buddhas, and the Buddhas did not think there was anything wrong. Even if the Tathagata said that the words in the "Yi" were said by Sakyamuni Buddha, they also felt that they were extremely correct.

After all, those Confucians were able to incorporate the "Book of Changes" into Confucian classics. I just quoted a sentence here, which is simply childish.

At this time, the Tathagata continued: "Honorable Guanyin, please return to your seat first. I will go to Wuzhuang Temple for a visit. It has been many years since I discussed the Tao with the Great Immortal Zhenyuan."

After the Tathagata said these words, he rose together with the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit under his body, and then instantly disappeared from the sight of the Buddhas.

In fact, he couldn't help it. All supernatural powers were relative, and he couldn't go back in time, so he had to go find Zhen Yuanzi himself.

Tathagata's mobility is beyond comparison with a mere somersault. He went from Lingshan to Wuzhuang Temple in a short time. As soon as he arrived at the boundary of Wuzhuangguan, Zhen Yuanzi felt it.

If it were normal times, he would go out to greet him, but at this moment, since he had already made plans with Yue Yuanzhou and had discussed with Yue Yuanzhou for a long time and got what he wanted to know, he had no choice but to get things done.

But Tathagata kept a much lower profile. After all, he was just here to sell face, so when he arrived at Wuzhuang Temple, he walked down from the lotus platform and knocked on the door.

This way of following the normal way of meeting customers made Zhen Yuanzi feel a little guilty, but since he had promised Yue Yuanzhou, he would not go back on his word.

So no matter what Tathagata said, he would not let anyone go.

By this time, Tathagata had realized the weirdness of the matter. Logically speaking, Zhen Yuanzi should not behave like this. After all, making friends is what Zhen Yuanzi has insisted on for a long time. Now that he is so difficult to talk to, he obviously has something inside. .

It was just that Tathagata kept talking, but Zhen Yuanzi didn't reveal the hidden truth, which made Tathagata a little annoyed.

So he had no choice but to propose to Zhen Yuanzi that the two of them had a fight, and if he defeated Zhen Yuanzi, he would let him go. If he didn't win, he would never mention the journey to the west again.

Tathagata's proposal was exactly what Zhen Yuanzi wanted, because although he promised Yue Yuanzhou that he would make things bigger, there was no exact agreement on how big the trouble would be, and everything was decided by him.

But he was also a little disappointed. Originally, Zhen Yuanzi thought that Tathagata could have some magical power to bring back the lost things. It seemed that he was overthinking it.

Zhen Yuanzi is actually a good immortal, and what he promises is unambiguous. His current performance can illustrate this point.

Zhen Yuanzi had already thought about it. Apart from himself, there was no one else in the world who could have ginseng fruit. Logically speaking, it would be impossible for Tang Sanzang to let him go. But according to his agreement with Yue Yuanzhou, Tang Sanzang could not let him go. We must continue to seek scriptures from the West.

So he had no choice but to make a fuss about the matter.

"Having a fight with Tathagata would be a big disaster for those seeking Buddhist scriptures in the West, right?" Zhen Yuanzi said secretly as he flew to the west with Tathagata.

After a while, Tathagata looked around and saw that he had arrived at the junction of Xiniuhezhou and Nanfanbuzhou, so he said to Zhen Yuanzi: "How about staying here? Does the immortal want to make some preparations?"

Zhen Yuanzi looked down at the earth and saw the large empty sea area between the two continents. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "We still need to be very prepared to take over, but the creatures here are probably going to suffer."

This is the junction of two continents. According to the continental layout of this world, the four major continents are separated by boundless seas. However, Nanfangbu Continent and Xiniuhe Continent are adjacent to each other, and the ocean between them is not very large. But it’s also thousands of miles away.

"Amitabha!" The Tathagata proclaimed the Buddha's name, then landed on an island, and then appeared with a six-gold body. The twelve-grade golden lotus of merit was naturally summoned by him, and it suddenly became golden.

"Great Immortal, please!"

Zhen Yuanzi laughed when he heard this, and then he also landed on the island. His beard and hair started to rise automatically in the absence of wind, and his sleeves and robe became extremely huge as if they were blown up by a blower.
