The Jade Emperor frowned slightly: "Then what happened to Buddha wasn't Lin Fang's fault? How come it has anything to do with Ananda?"
He knew the inside story about the closure of Lingshan Mountain.
Taibai Jinxing continued: "Your Majesty, if you ask this, you are asking the right person. I happen to have connections in Lingshan and got some news."
"It is said that Ananda assassinated the Buddha while he was recovering from his injuries."
"And escaped from Lingshan."
"Originally, all the Buddhas in Lingshan didn't believe he would do this, but this guy actually disappeared."
"Then the blame can only be placed on him."
"It just so happened that there was no explanation for the closure of Lingshan Mountain, so I merged the two black pots and put them on his head together."
After hearing this, the Jade Emperor didn't know what to say.
"This...if he is not the real murderer, then he is really unjust."
Taibai Jinxing added: "According to the current development, if he is not the real culprit, he has probably been solved by the real culprit. It will be extremely difficult to reverse the case."
"Lingshan also considered that he might be gone."
"That's why I let him take the blame. This is an explanation to the believers in Xiniu Hezhou."
Although Lingshan was closed, it did not cause much repercussions in the three realms.
But the entire Xiniu Hezhou believers felt as if the sky had fallen. Even the kings of many countries stayed up without sleeping in their arms every night just to think about this matter.
But no matter how they thought about it, they just couldn't figure out the reason.
So these countries began to hold large-scale sacrificial activities again, intending to ask their Buddhas.
But no matter how big the event they held, there was no answer from Lingshan.
This makes those believers even more panic-stricken.
Some people even think that the end of the Dharma era is coming.
If this continues, the entire Xiniu Hezhou will definitely be in chaos. Fortunately, Ananda came out to take the blame at this time, which stabilized the hearts of the believers.
It turns out that it is not the end of the Dharma era that has come, but a traitor has appeared in Lingshan.
But Buddha's backstabbing is also a big deal.
So many believers began to pray for the Buddha day and night. Some ascetics simply sat on the ground and prayed for the Buddha without eating or drinking.
With Ananda taking the blame, not only was the situation in Hezhou, Xiniu stabilized, but Buddhism also gained a large wave of wishes from all living beings.
Even Guanyin and the others did not expect this result.
And Ananda has now been beaten into a demon Buddha in Xiniu Hezhou. He is an enemy of the Buddha, a traitor, and an outcast. He will never be able to achieve bliss early in this life.
However, there are also some people who secretly worship Ananda and call themselves Demonic Buddhists.
The Jade Emperor took a sip of wine and sighed: "This Ananda is really miserable."
After he finished sighing, he looked at Taibai Jinxing again: "By the way, you said you were going to hold a Hongmen Banquet before, why haven't you seen any action during this time?"
Taibai Jinxing hurriedly explained: "I'm just waiting for the opportunity."
"Waiting for the opportunity?"
The Jade Emperor said he didn't understand.
Does this Hongmen Banquet also pay attention to timing?
"Your Majesty, I plan to wait until the Huaguoshan religion is established, and invite Lin Fang and the Monkey King to go to heaven to have a talk in the name of Your Majesty. At that time, in full view of everyone, the Monkey King will most likely agree."
The Jade Emperor glanced at him.
If he remembers correctly, Taibai Jinxing was timid in the past.
This is already embarrassing enough, but now you actually want to admit it in front of everyone.
Isn’t it because you think it’s embarrassing enough?
"I'm giving you a chance to reorganize your language." He said with a smile.
Taibai Jinxing immediately smiled coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you seem to have misunderstood. I will definitely help you save your face when the time comes."
"It's not difficult to say this softly."
Although he admitted to giving in in the past, there is still a difference between giving in and giving in.
When the time comes, all he has to do is put on airs, speak in a firmer tone, appropriately express Heavenly Court's goodwill and sincerity, and then express the meaning of 'Your Majesty' in a subtle way.
He didn't know whether Lin Fang was fooled or not.
But the Monkey King will most likely be fooled.
Moreover, Lin Fang would probably feel that everyone in heaven was watching to take them away, so he would not dare to do anything extraordinary, so he agreed with the Monkey King.
Taibai Jinxing thought about his plan and thought it was really perfect.
If the Monkey King and Lin Fang were not fooled this time, they would be sorry for the brain cells he had lost in the past few days.
Seeing how confident he was, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but be doubtful.
"Are you sure?"
"If you fail in this matter, then you don't have to come back."
Taibai Jinxing patted her chest confidently and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely succeed this time."
Seeing how confident he was, the Jade Emperor let him do it.
…
After rushing for several days, Lin Fang and the others finally made it back to Huaguo Mountain.
At this time, Huaguo Mountain was much more prosperous than when they left. The monsters in the entire three realms knew the purpose of Huaguo Mountain, and they all rushed here to join in the fun.
Many other forces also rushed over.
There are even human forces.
Not all of them came to support Huaguo Mountain, but more of them wanted to join in the fun and admire the glory of the saint. After all, according to unreliable rumors, the leader of Tongtian Cult will appear in the world by then.
During this period, the old monkey and the fox demon king were busy entertaining these people.
Even Brother Monkey had to come out to socialize.
With Yang Chan following him, nothing happened.
Among these guests, you can also see some familiar people, such as the golden-winged roc, the green lion, and the three white elephants, as well as the yellow wind monster, Sai Taisui, the green bull spirit, and the nine-spirited Yuan Sheng.
The Bull Demon King even came to Huaguo Mountain with five great sages.
When I arrived, it was all pomp and circumstance, and Huaguoshan was given a lot of respect. Brother Monkey even came out to receive me in person.
Many people from the Dragon Clan also came, and even Xihai sent Ao Tang over.
Lin Fang still has a good impression of this dragon girl whom he met once. After all, he once saved a beautiful girl as a hero, although he didn't even transform at that time and was still a little turtle.
But it's different now, he's a handsome guy who's 1.8 meters tall.
"I didn't expect that Xihai would send a dragon here this time. Huaguo Mountain is really full of glory."
Lin Fang looked towards Ao Tang.
Ao Tang covered his mouth and smiled: "You were not so glib back then."
Lin Fang chuckled and said: "This monster will always change. I was just a little turtle back then, and look at me now. I have become a handsome guy who is 1.8 meters tall."
"How can anyone say that he is handsome?" Ao Tang rolled his eyes at him.
"Hey! You've just seen one." Lin Fang said shamelessly, and then continued even more shamelessly: "And I'm really handsome, and I'm not just talking about it."
Ao Tang smiled even brighter.
"Handsome, I didn't see it, but it looks like his mouth has been greased."
