In other words, Gu Yaoqiang was caught in the sky. Taishang Laojun took Gu Yaoqiang to the medicine refining workshop. He did not really kill Gu Yaoqiang to practice medicine, but secretly taught some profound magical skills.

Emperor Zun and others all thought that in Journey to the West, Sun Wukong came out of the Eight Diagrams Furnace and caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace. Therefore, Taishang Laojun did what he did. If he wanted to make trouble, he had to make it bigger and give Gu Yao the power to be strong.

Let Gu Yaoqiang be more resentful, so that Gu Yaoqiang and Zhong Sheng's old subordinates can truly break up.

Sure enough, after Gu Yaoqiang ran out of the medicine training workshop, he went directly to Lingxiao Palace. Of course, some real Taoist generals accepted the order and did not take action. They all said that Gu Yaoqiang was extremely powerful.

So, the emperor passed the imperial edict and summoned Zhong Sheng.

Zhong Sheng originally thought that Gu Yaoqiang would use his wisdom and let Gu Yaoqiang use his pre-travel identity to seize power in the Heavenly Palace. Zhong Sheng never thought that Gu Yaoqiang would actually dare to rebel.

In this current situation, the emperor has been the emperor for billions of years, and his subordinates are no longer the subordinates that Gu Yaoqiang used to be. If Gu Yaoqiang directly opposed him like this, wasn't he seeking death?

Also, Zhong Sheng gave a book to Gu Yaoqiang last time. If Gu Yaoqiang was recruited, even though he put on makeup, the emperor would definitely want it, so Gu Yaoqiang has something to do with me.

Furthermore, what happened this time happened in the Heavenly Palace. If there is something wrong with the Heavenly Palace, even if you ask outside princes to rescue you, you should do it from the nearest one, rather than inviting the remote princes like yourself. It seems that the emperor is suspicious of me.

Gu wants to force a rebellion. If that is the case, it will be troublesome.

When Zhong Sheng thought of this, he couldn't sit still. As soon as he received the imperial edict, he immediately went to the Heavenly Palace. First, he wanted to make the emperor not doubt him, so he wanted to silence Gu Yaoqiang; secondly, he couldn't let the emperor kill him.

Gu Yaoqiang, after all, Gu Yaoqiang is Zhong Sheng’s son-in-law and former brother

Therefore, Zhong Sheng defeated Gu Yaoqiang with one move, and with a magic weapon that produced five locks, Gu Yaoqiang was imprisoned in the prisoner exile area.

Emperor Zun was furious when he saw Zhong Sheng and Gu Yaoqiang. On the surface, Zhong Sheng was also loyal to him. Although Zhong Sheng's mentality of saving Gu Yaoqiang was fully understood by Emperor Zun. However, Tathagata accepted the traitor this time and immediately accepted it.

After gaining merit, the emperor treated the guests to dinner, set up several large tables, and held a "party"

After Tathagata Buddha subdued Gu Yaoqiang, the Jade Emperor invited a table of guests to pay attention. This dinner party is famous. The lower-level people may be at the "dinner" but not at the "bureau", while the high-level people are at the "bureau".

Not at the meal

At that time, a god suggested: "Thanks to the Tathagata's boundless power, the traitors will be subdued and the Great Heavenly Lord will hold a banquet and call us. We all come to thank the Tathagata and invite the Tathagata to appoint a name to this association. How about that?"

After having a meal, you also have to make a name for yourself. There are so many things to pay attention to.

In fact, in Journey to the West, there are many "dinner parties" with names, such as: "Peach Banquet", "Danyuan Conference", "Orchid Basin Banquet", "Fairy Wine Party", "Nail Rake Banquet", etc.

The common features of these banquets are:

1 Before treating guests to a meal, there must be a name for the party.

2 Then go to various places to invite friends over for dinner

But this time it was the opposite. There was no name for the banquet at the beginning. We invited people to eat first. As we were eating, someone remembered that we wanted to give the dinner a name.

Looking at all the dinner banquet items in Journey to the West, they are all chosen in advance by the guests, but this time it is not the case. This time, the "invitees" are called to pick the items.

What's wrong with this?

This is actually: the gods asked Tathagata Buddha to answer a question that was difficult to answer.

Because Tathagata Buddha helped the Jade Emperor to subdue the ancient strongman, the Jade Emperor invited him to dinner. Therefore, the purpose of naming Tathagata Buddha is that everyone wants to hear what Tathagata Buddha says and see how Tathagata Buddha views this matter.

At that time, Tathagata Buddha only brought two people with him, and most of the powerful gods among the many gods were present. This question is actually not easy to answer. Don’t think too simply.

Because it is the host’s business to name the banquet, the most common way to answer the question is: “As guests wish, please name the Jade Emperor.” This not only gives the Jade Emperor face, but also answers the questions asked by others.

problem

If the Jade Emperor also insists on naming Tathagata, then Tathagata can just give it a name related to the theme such as "Demon Subduing Society".

However, Tathagata Buddha did not do this. Instead, in front of all the gods, he uttered astonishing words: "Now that I am bathing and establishing my name, I can hold an Antian Assembly."

Tathagata felt that the Jade Emperor had no abilities. In the past, he might have traveled through time and allowed him to take advantage of him, because before the time travel, Liu Tongbing was just a hotel manager with no martial arts skills, while Zhong Sheng was the lay master of Donglin Temple.

disciple

Therefore, Zhong Sheng (Tathagata) was so high-spirited that he took the Antian Assembly

All the immortals said in unison: "What a great 'Antian Conference'! What a great 'Antian Conference'!"

What is clear is that it is really good to say "a good Antiian Conference"? No, everyone has an idea in their mind. Taishang Laojun thought to himself: "Antian Conference! The Tathagata is really generous, and he does not shy away from anything.

Without him, there would be no peace in the world, and his tone is too crazy!"

Liu Tongbing smiled in his heart and thought: "In ancient times, when Yao Qiang claimed to be "Qi Tian", he meant that he was a king alongside me, indicating that he was as big as me; but Buddha Zhongsheng said "An Tian"! This "An" is comparable to "Qi".

You are so capable! Humph, you are so ambitious."

And what the immortals said about "a good Antiian Conference" is not that simple! People at different levels must have different understandings, expressions, expressions of affection, and tone of voice!

At this time, an Antarctic old man with a long head, big ears and short body arrived.

The birthday boy saw the Jade Emperor after paying homage to the Jade Emperor, and then met the Tathagata. He thanked him and said, "I first heard that Na Gu was forced to be burned in the Eight Diagrams Furnace by Taishang Laojun. He thought that he would be safe now. Unexpectedly, he said that it was fortunate that the Tathagata was good at hiding.

This demon, I heard that the Jade Emperor was hosting a banquet here to thank me, so I came here after hearing the news and had nothing else to offer, so I offer the special Ganoderma lucidum, Yao grass, and the golden elixir of lotus root."

Tathagata gladly accepts thanks

There was no expression on the Jade Emperor's face. These actions of Nanjixian were not arranged by Emperor Zun. He did this in front of himself and in front of Zhong Sheng. Didn't he take Emperor Zun seriously? So, Emperor Zun

He also smiled and said: "Antarctica, have you, old comrade, eaten? Let's eat together. Then bring us a chair and a set of cutlery!"

The birthday boy is lucky

After a while, the Barefoot Immortal came again and bowed to the Jade Emperor, and thanked the Buddha: "I am deeply touched by the power of the magic. I have to surrender to the ancients. I have nothing to show my respect. I have two special pear pears and several fire dates as tributes."

The Tathagata thanked the Jade Emperor again and called Anuo and Kassapa to collect the offerings one by one and present their thanks to the Jade Emperor for the banquet.

Emperor Zun said gracefully: "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Sheng. I didn't expect that Brother Sheng's skills are so powerful. We admire him."

Zhong Sheng said enthusiastically: "Well, you're welcome, Emperor. If anything happens to the Tiangong spaceship in the future, feel free to call me. I'll be here when you call."

Emperor Zun said politely: "Then I'll have to trouble my brother."

Zhong Sheng was very impressed by the emperor's attitude. He was so proud that he got dizzy after drinking, so he got on the aircraft and went back to Buddha. He wanted to eat meat, kill animals, and drink alcohol (it is written in Journey to the West that the Jade Emperor

To entertain the Tathagata, they used dragon liver, phoenix gallbladder, delicacies from mountains and seas, and drank the best food and wine. This shows that monks also eat wine and meat, but only the disciples below abstain from alcohol and meat.)

Through the Antian Conference, Tathagata Buddha showed his magic power, making all the gods see his arrogance and martial arts, and also made many gods blatantly fall to his side.

Tathagata Buddha is not a god in heaven, so he has no place in heaven. But this time, he went to heaven under an imperial edict. As soon as he went up, he showed his face and stole the show. You see:

As soon as the Tathagata Buddha returned, the disciples asked him what was going on. The Tathagata said: "The Jade Emperor opened the Jinqueyao Palace, invited me to sit at the head of the palace, and established the Antian Assembly to thank me." The crowd was happy to hear this and praised him highly.

Zhong Sheng felt that now he had finally found out the strength of the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor did not have much ability and was just a virtual head of state. He should seize the opportunity to expand step by step and advance his territory.

Therefore, the story of Journey to the West ends with the havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and is followed by Tathagata preaching scriptures and expanding eastward.

In any case, the ultimate result of Gu Yao becoming so powerful and causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace was that Tathagata Buddha became famous as soon as he appeared on the scene. This was the first time Tathagata traveled to ancient times and he did not expect that his martial arts would be as high as this.

It seems that he has no opponent in the sky or on earth. In the past, Gu was ten thousand times more powerful than him. Now, he can't catch his move. Zhong Sheng Xinqing is so good.

Gu Yao forced himself to cause such a big incident. He just served as a foil to Tathagata Buddha (Zhong Sheng), but he himself ended up in jail! He didn't get any benefits.

Gu Yaoqiang was imprisoned in a prison on the ground. Except for a hole through which he could see some green conditions outside, he was surrounded by cages made of special locks made of green steel. The lock was a combination lock set by Tathagata himself, and the surrounding

People sent by Tathagata (Zhong Sheng) were also watching, and no one was allowed to get close to Gu Yaoqiang.

Gu Yaoqiang is a smart man. Faced with this situation, he began to reflect

He recalled the Journey to the West he had read. Now, he understood a lot of truth. He knew that he might really be like the legendary Sun Wukong, taking a person to learn the scriptures.

Could Gu Yaoqiang, a man of noble birth and superb martial arts, really condescend to Tang Monk? Gu Yaoqiang himself didn’t believe it

After the emperor and his party saw off Tathagata (Zhong Sheng), the emperor discussed it with Taishang Laojun. The emperor said: "What do you think about today's matter?"

The Supreme Lord said: "Emperor, what happened today is that Zhong Sheng saved Gu Yaoqiang. Moreover, Zhong Sheng's attitude was arrogant and he did not take the people in the Heavenly Palace into consideration at all. Moreover, some people in the Heavenly Palace

, and some capable people on earth, seem to be more attracted to Tathagata."

Emperor Zun frowned and said, "Yes, what should we do?"

Taishang Laojun said: "It stands to reason that if Nagu wanted to force him to make such a fuss, it would be enough to put him in prison. However, it was Tathagata who imprisoned him, and he used his password lock, saying,

This is not good”

Emperor Zun said: "Does he want to improve Gu Yaoqiang's skills in prison, and then cooperate with Gu Yaoqiang to cause trouble for us?"

Taishang Laojun said: "Not only that, Gu Yaoqiang was our leader before time travel. Zhong Sheng must have wanted to blackmail the emperor to order the princes and make those who have feelings for Gu Yaoqiang surrender to him. That way, his power will be even greater

Got it

Fortunately, the emperor had the foresight to let Gu Yaoqiang destroy the finished products of the peach production workshop, leaving many gods in the lower world without life-extending medicine. Only then did they know that if they rebelled against the Heavenly Palace and followed Zhong Sheng, the emperor would

They are not happy, they can only live for a few hundred years at most, so they did not go to Zhong Sheng openly."
