Ye Qing was very surprised. His technique of change should not be seen through the realm of a saint. But this Buddha can actually see through it. Does this Buddha have an enhanced version of the golden eyes?

But Wutian's vest was broken by Tathagata Buddha, and Ye Qing didn't panic because his vests were as many as hairs. As for Ye Qingfuzhi's soul, he has already faintly made a bold guess. Perhaps it is not the Buddha Tathagata who saw through his own transformation art, but...

Ye Qing laughed and said: "The Tathagata is worthy of being the Tathagata. I am confident that no one in the Three Realms can see through the transformation art of the Tathagata, but you did not expect it to be seen through by the Tathagata." After that, Ye Qing turned into Subhuti. In the appearance of the patriarch, another vest was used.

"It turned out to be an old friend. Before I became a Taoist, Yu Shewei Guo Yishu saw the solitary garden and the Taoist friends. Now, I have not seen each other for 1,500 years. I don't mean that the Taoists have merged with Confucianism and Buddhism. Dao, cultivating the strengths of a hundred schools of thought, gestures, majesty of the Dharma, and full of supernatural powers." Unexpectedly, when the Buddha Tathagata saw the appearance of the Patriarch Ye Qing Subhuti, he reminiscent of the old and praised Ye Qing again.

Are Tathagata Buddha and Subhuti Patriarch an old friend?

Ye Qing's heart was taken aback, but among the sparks and sparks, he found clues from the place name "The only tree in the country of Shewei to the lonely garden". Among this Buddhism, there is a very important Mahayana sutra called "Diamond Sutra". The "Diamond Sutra" actually records the traces of Subhuti's practice of Buddhism.

The second article of "Diamond Sutra" is enlightened. The first sentence is "When the elder Subhuti was in the public...", the translation probably means this: At that time, the elder Subhuti separated from the crowd. They stood up and asked the Tathagata Buddha about the Mahayana Buddhism practice of "surrendering to his heart".

The Tathagata Buddha is the "Buddha tells Subhuti" throughout the text, which translates to "Sakyamuni Saying to Subhuti". In the end, the Tathagata Buddha stated the core idea of ​​Mahayana Buddhism, "All appearances are false. If you see If you see the Tathagata if you are not in a state," that is, what Wutian vomited to the ancient Buddha just now, "If you have said that there is no self, no one has no other beings, but he treats me like that."

The entire "Diamond Sutra", which occupies the dominance of Mahayana Buddhism, can be regarded as a cross talk. The Buddha is a teaser, and Subhuti is a lover. The two people ask and answer each other, and the tacit understanding is very good. Subsu’s questions always hit the point, and the Tathagata Buddha’s answers are not leaking and thought-provoking.

However, the "Diamond Sutra" is a Buddhist classic after all. It is inevitable to raise the Tathagata Buddha and depreciate Subhuti. The Subhuti inside is respectful and respectful to the Tathagata Buddha, but in reality, from the attitude of the Tathagata Buddha, it can be seen that the Tathagata Buddha treats Subhuti as an equal friend.

In the Buddhist scriptures other than the "Diamond Sutra", there is no record of Elder Subhuti, and Elder Subhuti does not belong to the category of Buddhist immortals. Now it seems that Subhuti master learned the essence of Mahayana Buddhism from the Tathagata Buddha, and then left to learn Confucianism and Taoism. It's no wonder that the ancestor of Subudi was ultimately the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. He taught his disciples in Xieyuedong.

When the ancestor Subhuti taught Monkey King, he was really capable of a thousand kinds of spells, all kinds of abilities, and none of them could not. But Monkey King’s monkey spirit only recognized "a thousand kinds of magic, all kinds of magical powers, and those who can’t gain longevity, all are Inferior, don't take the death principle. This led Master Subhuti to knock on the monkey head three times, and Wukong went to the Buddhist monastery of Grand Master Subhuti on the third night, and Grandmaster Subhuti opened a small stove for Monkey King and taught stories about "Seventy-two Changes of the Earth's Evil" and somersault cloud.

After figuring out the key points of the matter, Ye Qing knew how to deal with this Buddha, and Ye Qing had held the relic for a long time, and had long discovered that this relic was really the essence of the post-Journey to the West. However, Ye Qing had his own plan, and this lamp-burning relic was not impossible to abandon. As the saying goes, if you want to take it, you must first give it.

This lamp-burning relic is destined to fall into the hands of Monkey King. Monkey King is a public chess piece. The Tathagata Buddha is using it and Wutian is also using it. Of course, Ye Qing also uses it. After all, Wutian said that there are three treasures between heaven and earth, one is the seventeen relics, the second is the reincarnation of the Buddha, and the third is the battle to defeat the Buddha Sun Wukong.

Is it a pity not to use such a treasure?

"One thousand and five hundred years ago, when you heard the Tathagata explain the principle of'no form, no form, no form of sentient beings, and form of lifeless people', you were really inspired and benefited a lot. Now you and I are both saints. , It's really gratifying!" Ye Qing also gently praised the Tathagata.

The Tathagata Buddha said: "But I don't know why the friend turned into a Wutian appearance and took away the relic of the ancient Buddha."

Ye Qing said with a sad expression: "Of course it is for my poor disciple Sun Wukong."

The Tathagata Buddha listened and couldn't help but was stunned. Then he thought about what Ye Qing said was right. He took Monkey King as a chess piece, but he didn't even consider the opinion of the Patriarch Subhuti. This really shouldn't.

But in fact, Master Subhuti basically did not care about Sun Wukong after he had basically taught him. The Tathagata Buddha held him under the Wuzhi Mountain for five hundred years, and Master Subhuti never took care of him. As for the master Subhuti, he captured Ye Qing because Ye Qing was wearing Subhuti's waistcoat and was making waves everywhere. If he did not stop him, his reputation would be bad.

But the understanding of Tathagata Buddha is that the Subudi Patriarch was to sharpen Monkey King’s temperament, so that he made Monkey King suffer a bit, but his own plan is very likely to sacrifice Monkey King. The Patriarch Subhuti had great magical powers and had insight into part of his plan, and then he brazenly acted and pretended to be Wu Tian, ​​in fact, to ask himself for an explanation.

"Why should fellow Daoists be like this? This time the birth of the Heavenless Demon is a gathering of karma in the Three Realms for 140,000 years. No one can be spared. All sacred and immortal Buddhas will have to sink for 33 years. Only Wukong can break free from this karma. "The shackles of the Buddha." said the Buddha Tathagata, "I have my own arrangements for Wukong. By then, Wukong will use seventeen relics to become a saint. This is like the flame in the gossip furnace. It is just an experience for Wukong."

Ye Qing's expression suddenly realized: "Oh? It turned out to be like this? Couldn't the two saints of you and me work together to suppress the Wutian Demon?"

The Tathagata Buddha said: "Suppression can be suppressed, but after the suppression, Wutian Demon will return again and accumulate greater power, so it is better to eliminate Wutian completely this time. This is a strategy to capture and indulge. You fellow Taoists understand. of."

Ye Qing said with a smile: "That said, but you first suppressed my Wukong disciple for five hundred years, and then restrained him for fourteen years with the hooping curse. Although he was banned for fighting and defeating the Buddha, he did not care about me when he shot. Face saving. We still have to do a game to end our grievances."
