"No courtesy, no courtesy." The Jade Emperor nodded and smiled.
"The banquet is ready, Buddha, and everyone, please come to the table." The Queen Mother also smiled.
Afterwards, both sides went side by side and entered the great hall in the center of Yaochi.
For banquets for Western Buddhists and elders, the specifications are naturally top-notch.
The celestial beings who can attend are all the celestial officials and generals who usually meet in Lingxiao Palace.
Heavenly generals and those petty officials are not eligible to attend,
But according to the prior arrangement, both Ji Jiuxu and Baihua Fairy will be present this time.
Moreover, the position at the banquet is not low.
Coincidentally, Ji Jiuxu was sitting behind Nezha and Wu Qu Xingjun,
"I've seen the two generals." Ji Jiuxu greeted him politely with a smile on his face.
"En." Wu Qu Xingjun nodded coldly.
Ji Jiuxu didn't care, Wu Qu Xing Jun could nod his head, it was already very rare, everyone knew that he was an arrogant person.
Then, he ignored Wu Qu Xingjun and turned to chat with Nezha.
It has been ten months since the big rectification of the Tiangang Department, and Nezha has long since recovered his sunny smile.
The banquet of the immortals is open, and the Jade Emperor, Tathagata, Queen Mother, Guanyin and other big figures chatted on it.
The gods from all walks of life in the heavenly court and the Buddhist monks chatted about themselves below.
There is some truth to the so-called Buddhist and Taoist family.
We are old acquaintances with each other, and when we meet, we all chat in full swing.
Ji Jiuxu looked at the lively and laughing scene, although he was also chatting and laughing with Nezha, but kept calm in his heart,
He knew very well that this group of bald people who were laughing and laughing might not know what they were thinking secretly.
This is what is meant by the so-called singing and dancing to promote peace and hiding a knife in a smile.
The immortals in the heaven never imagined that this group of bald heads who open their mouths to be merciful to the Buddha will throw the monkey out in a short time, causing chaos in the heaven and making the immortals feel ashamed.
Ji Jiuxu was thinking about this in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
During the banquet, the Tianting Song and Dance Troupe was not idle either.
The beautiful fairies, some holding a pipa, some holding a long piano, accompanied by fairy music, danced gracefully, which was pleasing to the eye.
"If there is no intrigue, it will really be a fairy-like day."
Ji Jiuxu drank Xianqiongyu syrup and ate fairy fruit, with a happy expression on his face, as if he had been immersed in the wonderful dance.
Even if Fairy Bai Hua glanced over occasionally, he didn't pay attention.
Of all the immortals in the heavenly court who attended this time, Fairy Baihua was the one with the lowest official position and cultivation level.
But her position in the banquet was also very high, just before Ji Jiuxu lowered her head, and the two of them were next to each other.
It's just that the two haven't communicated much since the banquet began.
Even if everyone knew that they had a good relationship, Ji Jiuxu would not be so stupid as to be too intimate with Fairy Baihua in public.
"What exactly are they going to do?"
In fact, Ji Jiuxu had been secretly observing everything that happened at the banquet.
His keen intuition told him that the visit of Buddhism this time was by no means as simple as seeking the Dharma.
The second method of breeding is indeed important, but Buddhism may have other purposes.
But what is the purpose?
Ji Jiuxu was thinking while observing.
Halfway through the banquet, the Jade Emperor and Tathagata finally got to the point.
"Everyone, please be quiet." The Jade Emperor's laughing voice rang in everyone's ears.
All the immortals in the heavenly court and the Buddhist monks looked at the main seat above.
"Ji Jiuxu, Fairy Baihua." The Jade Emperor's eyes fell on the two of them.
"The minister is here." The two got up.
"Both of you, would you like to spread the second method of breeding to Xiniu Hezhou?" Jade Emperor asked.
"But according to His Majesty's will!" The two said in unison.
They had already communicated in Baihuayuan yesterday, and they knew how to answer without any communication at this time.
Just say yes, of course not.
If the Jade Emperor is suspicious and turns his head one more way, suspecting that they are close to Buddhism, it will be bad.
Therefore, throwing this question back is the most correct way.
Sure enough, the Jade Emperor nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Tathagata: "They both agreed, so you can send a good hand to ask them for a good deal."
Tathagata smiled all over his face: "The great power is coming, Ananda, you stay later and go to seek the Dharma from the two good breeders."
"Follow the Buddha's decree." Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva and Venerable Ananda stood up and bowed.
"I have met two good men." Then they saluted Ji Jiuxu and Fairy Baihua.
The two just returned a salute and said nothing more.
The dance continues...
Soon afterwards, the banquet ended amidst a lot of lively laughter.
The Jade Emperor dragged Tathagata to Miluo Palace,
The Queen Mother took Guanyin and went to the depths of Yaochi.
The other immortals in the heavenly court and Buddhist monks also scattered in groups of two or three, wanting to hold another small gathering.
Meanwhile, Ji Jiuxu and Baihua Fairy, leading Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva and Venerable Ananda, were also preparing to leave the banquet.
