Chapter 8 Ancestral Peach, Do You Have an Opinion?
Good guy, give gifts when you meet, even if it is a heavy treasure like a nine-thousand-year-old peach, in front of the civil and military officials of the Heavenly Palace, it is impossible for the Jade Emperor to blatantly accept bribes.
Seeing Jiang Chen's actions, Guanyin Bodhisattva on the side couldn't help but sneer,
"This Jinghe Dragon King, after all, is a small role in the Nether, even if he has the strength of Taiyi Golden Immortal, he is still short-sighted. This move is undoubtedly self-deprecating. ”
"Amitabha, the poor monk is not targeting you, a little dragon god, but the day of the Journey to the West is imminent, and no half-point difference is allowed. For the merits of my Western Buddhism, the Dragon King of Jinghe, you must die! ”
Guanyin Bodhisattva said secretly in his heart.
But the scene that happened in the next moment shocked Guanyin's eyes and almost fell out.
"Hahaha, it's rare for Aiqing to be so loyal, but I'm disrespectful."
The Jade Emperor laughed.
"Huh?"
Guanyin was stunned when he heard this, how is this different from what he imagined, one gave gifts in public, and the other really dared to accept them.
Aren't you afraid of provoking criticism?
Of course, Guanyin doesn't care about the Jade Emperor's face. What she worries about is that she eats people with a soft mouth and short hands. Once the Jade Emperor accepts Jiang Chen's gift openly, when the time comes, if he asks about the crime, it will be a damn crime, and it will be able to turn a big thing into a small matter.
She is still waiting to push Jiang Chen onto the Dragon Cutting Platform, and then use his Yuan Shen as a chess piece to start the great cause of Journey to the West.
"The Buddha is still waiting for my good news, and there must be no mistakes in this matter." Thinking of this, Guanyin turned his heart sideways and immediately said: "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely inappropriate!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the smile on the Jade Emperor's face gradually solidified,
"Master Guanyin, tell me, what's wrong with this?"
Seeing this scene, all the priests sighed one after another, and invariably cast sympathetic glances towards Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Bodhisattva, you're in trouble, you're in trouble!
Since the sage established the great cause of the journey to the west 500 years ago, the Jade Emperor has always cooperated with the plans of Western Buddhism. Not only did he lose his troops and lose his generals, but he also lost the two heavenly court gods, Marshal Tianpeng and General Rolling Blinds, who traveled to the west, and even he, a dignified quasi-saint powerhouse, had to lose face in front of Sun Wukong, a small Taiyi Golden Immortal.
He was originally a boy in front of Hongjun's ancestor, and he was in charge of the Three Realms according to Hongjun's decree, but now he is living like a puppet, and it is false to say that he is not depressed.
And now, the Jade Emperor finally smiled, and if he was smart, he didn't dare to say more even if he knew that this matter was inappropriate, so as not to disturb the Jade Emperor's Yaxing and be put in small shoes in the future.
But this Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was originally a Buddhist person who was disgusted by the Jade Emperor, how could he dare to hit the muzzle of the gun? annoyed the Jade Emperor, even if you are a celebrity next to the Buddha, doesn't that still say that you will get you?
Guanyin Bodhisattva became famous in the god of the tribulation, as a veteran powerhouse in the Three Realms, she should think clearly. But this time, the situation was urgent, and she couldn't allow her to think about it, so she naturally blurted out that sentence.
Seeing the Jade Emperor asking with a cold face, she chuckled in her heart, she was already three points timid,
"Your Majesty, the Dragon King of the Jing River was originally a small dragon god in the Nether Realm, and his status was low. According to common sense, it is completely impossible for him to take out such a treasure as a peach. According to the poor monk, the origin of this object is unknown, and it was either stolen or robbed. It would be disrespectful to offer such a treasure of unknown origin to Your Majesty. ”
Guanyin said stiffly.
Regarding the irreversibility of the Journey to the West and the death of the Dragon King of Jinghe, although it is a legitimate reason, it cannot be said blatantly in front of so many people, otherwise, it may mess up the heavens.
Jiang Chen chuckled when he heard this,
"This is the legendary Guanyin Bodhisattva who is compassionate and responsive. Since the Bodhisattva is a member of Buddhism, why did he wronged me as a little water god for no reason? What evidence does the Bodhisattva have that the peach I offer to His Majesty is of unknown origin? ”
He had already noticed Guanyin Bodhisattva, and guessed that the last time Li Jing led his troops to attack the Jinghe Dragon Palace, it was the meaning of this Bodhisattva.
Therefore, Jiang Chen didn't have much politeness to her.
"Amitabha, the poor monk is a monk, he has already seen through the red dust, and he has no grievances with you, so he naturally will not wronged you. It's just that the nine-thousand-year-old purple-veined Hunan core peach is a treasure of the Three Realms, and it is unreasonable to take it out of your hand, and the poor monk is just talking about things. ”
Guanyin Bodhisattva snorted, and said in a soft and kind voice.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen sneered and said, "Buddhism once said that all living beings are equal. But now, the Bodhisattva wantonly despises and wrongs me because of my humble position and small power, isn't it against the purpose of Buddhism? ”
When it comes to the purpose of Buddhism, Guanyin Bodhisattva's eyes can't help but feel a little more angry.
"Then you say, where did this peach come from?" She said bluntly.
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said bluntly:
"My family's ancestral, can't it?"
"As a dragon, the ancestral dragon of the flood period is the ancestor of my clan, and the ancestral dragon god is powerful through the heavens and the earth, making the demons in the world bow their heads. At that time, even the two great saints of your Western Sect, Zhun Ti, were just ordinary and unknown juniors compared to the ancestors of our clan. ”
"Nowadays, the two sages of the West can pass down this great Buddhist sect, and there are also twelve meritorious golden lotus as the supreme treasure of the religion. Is it strange that the ancestral dragon of my clan passed down a few peaches and left them to future generations? ”
Jiang Chen's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and even the two sages of Buddhism were mixed in and stewed in one pot.
Hearing these words, the Jade Emperor's eyes couldn't help but flash with a gleam,
Good boy, well done!
Under the general trend of Buddhism's imminent rise, even many priests in the heavenly court are eager to be close to Western Buddhism. The Jade Emperor's henchmen who can really mobilize are really very few.
Now, Jiang Chen is on the top of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, regardless of everyone's eyes, offering three peach treasures to express his loyalty, and he is blunt to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and resists Buddhism head-on.
Loyal minister, this is the great loyal minister who is rooted in my heart.
At this moment, the gods and goddesses watching the play were so frightened that their souls were not possessed, and Guanyin Bodhisattva was stunned for a moment, her eyes became extremely gloomy, if it wasn't for the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, she would have wanted to slap this dragon to death.
Good guy, the ancestral peach is still handed down from the time of the flood famine, you are so fooling the two fools. No matter how precious the peach is, it is also a fairy fruit, which can be kept for hundreds of years at most.
Moreover, what made her even more unexpected was that Jiang Chen and the Nether Dragon God not only dared to blatantly contradict her, but also disrespected the two saints of the West.
If these words were to reach the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain, the three thousand Buddhas would probably take turns to go into battle and give him a large-scale physical transcendence event.
"Aiqing is really loyal, and she dedicates her ancestral treasures to me, and I am very relieved. Moreover, Aiqing showed extraordinary strength in the battle with Li Tianwang. With such strength, it is really useless to be a small head of Bahedu. ”
"Zhang Tianshi, you quickly go and check, where is there a vacancy in my Heavenly Court, Jiang Chen Aiqing can take the position."
The Jade Emperor laughed.
As far as the Jade Emperor is concerned, he doesn't care where Jiang Chen's peach comes from, even if he steals it from the queen mother's boudoir, it doesn't matter.
Jiang Chen said that it was ancestral, and that was ancestral.
Such a loyal talent, Western Buddhism still wants to be a chess piece? There are no doors!
"Your Majesty, this evil dragon has committed a mortal sin, you have summoned him to the sky, not only have you not punished him, but you have to let him be added to the rank of knight, this matter is absolutely impossible!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva knew that his words would cause the Jade Emperor's disgust, but he still had to say it.
Seeing this, the Jade Emperor wanted to defend Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen spoke first: "The crime of mortality? Dare to ask the Bodhisattva, what crime did I, Jiang Chen, commit that made the Bodhisattva put me to death so hard? ”
"You evil dragon, Hugh is talking nonsense, the poor monk has no grievances with you, and he shouldn't have taken care of your affairs. However, you have privately changed the amount and time of rain stipulated in the Jade Emperor's decree, and you have committed the crime of disobeying the decree. Then, he killed the officials of the imperial court, which caused great losses to the imperial court. Kill Ao Guang, the king of Guangde in the East China Sea, against the army of Heavenly Court, intending to rebel. No matter which of these four crimes is enough for you to be sentenced to death, what else do you have to say! ”
Guanyin Bodhisattva pointed at Jiang Chen, counting his crimes.
As soon as these words came out, the priests began to discuss in private, constantly issuing words such as 'yes' and 'this dragon is guilty and deserves to be executed'.
Even the Jade Emperor looked contemplative, pondering how to exonerate Jiang Chen. Or, try to reduce his charges and save his life. In the future, if he has made meritorious deeds, he will be promoted again.
Faced with this situation, Jiang Chen sneered and said, "I thought that you, as a strong man of Da Luo, would have a high opinion in the face of civil and military officials in this Lingxiao Treasure Palace. I didn't expect to say such vulgar words. I have a word for you to listen to. ”
"The Bodhisattva set me four charges, one of which was that I had made a mistake in the amount of rain and disobeyed the holy decree and should be beheaded. I'll admit that I missed the points, but it was just a small mistake in my job and didn't cause any serious consequences. As the saying goes, no one can do anything wrong if he is not a saint, and even if he is a saint, there are times when he makes mistakes. If you make the slightest mistake and you have to be beheaded, then won't these three realms be full of lonely souls and wild ghosts? This crime is not established! ”
"Second, behead Wei Zheng, the official of the imperial court. Hehe, I want to ask the Bodhisattva, if someone wants to kill you, will you close your eyes and wait for death because of the other party's special status? Compared with the people killed by the Bodhisattva in the gods, I, Jiang Chen, am just a small thing, just a hair in the nine cows. ”
"Third, kill Ao Guang. Ao Guang and I are both of the Dragon Clan, and the matter between me and him also belongs to the family affairs of our Dragon Clan. Could it be that the power of Buddhism is so great that even household chores have to be intervened, so does the Bodhisattva also have to take care of the things that mortals eat and go to the toilet? ”
"Fourth, against the Heavenly Court army, with the intention of rebellion. Haha, Bodhisattva, everyone has come to my door, can't I resist yet? Although I fought with the gods of the Heavenly Court, I only fought them back, and did not hurt a single person's life. This verse shows that I am not sincere in my opposition to Heaven, but I am really helpless, and my loyalty to Your Majesty can be seen by heaven and earth! ”
Jiang Chen refuted the four major crimes one by one, and the refutation was reasonable, which made the gods and officials stunned, and Guanyin Bodhisattva was speechless.
At this moment, Jiang Chen was the most beautiful cub above the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
Smack.
The Jade Emperor clapped his palms and laughed: "Haha, good, a good sentence can be learned." ”
"Now, I have made up my mind to promote Jiang Aiqing. Zhang Tianshi, hurry up and do it. ”
