Chapter 1531 Tricky Questions Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva
It has to be said that Zhu Gangli asked this question in a different way, so tricky that Zhang Daoling couldn't react in a short time.
If Zhu Gangli still questioned him from certain angles as before, he would certainly be easy to talk to. Casually breaking the above two reasons muddied the water. Judging from his past style, who can firmly believe that he must be plotting something wrong. But the situation is different when Zhu Gangguan plays like this.
It's like trying you in court, the normal line of thinking is to find evidence to prove your guilt. If there is insufficient evidence, of course no valid charges can be formed against you. But if you change your mind, let you prove your innocence on the premise that you are found guilty. This is very confusing.
Self-certification is already difficult, but because Zhang Daoling has problems in himself, it is of course even more difficult for him to prove himself. A little mistake or omission, I'm afraid it will all come true. And even if the explanation is a little slow, it is inevitable that some suspicion will be aroused.
difficult. But Zhang Daoling, an old fox, couldn't be bothered. His mind was spinning, and he had already thought up the rhetoric in his mind, and without hesitation, he said the rhetoric.
"The Daoist sect is my life's painstaking effort. Seeing that the Daoist sect is going to suffer setbacks and turmoil today, as the leader of the Daoist sect, I should make some early response. Is there anything wrong?"
"Of course not." Zhang Daoling's words made many people nod their heads in agreement, very appreciative. But Zhu Gangli grinned and said a completely different point of view. "Zhang Tianshi, you can fool them but they can't fool me. In my opinion, your argument is totally untenable."
"Why? Do you think I'm old-fashioned and I won't do this?"
Surprised, Zhang Daoling, who felt that Zhu Ganglu had discovered something, frowned deliberately, put on an impatient look, and asked in a deep voice. As for this rhetorical question, Zhu Gangli nodded and said loudly.
"My old pig is a real person, and I don't know those things that beat around the bush. For my old pig, there is only one unbreakable truth in this world, that is, the world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is hustle and bustle, all for profit." Profit. No matter what you want to do, in the end it’s just a profit. And in my old pig’s opinion, if you do this, Heavenly Master, there is no benefit at all.”
"That's why you read it wrong. Daoist Dali is in front of you. If you can't see it, then you can only say that you are short-sighted. The pair of tricks under the eyebrows are white."
"Really? Do you mean these useless guys in front of you by Daomen Dali?"
Pointing and pointing at those Taoists in the cave indifferently,
Zhu Ganglian laughed out loud, not caring about their emotions at all.
"Please forgive me, it's not that I look down on these guys, but that in my old pig's opinion, these guys are nothing more than a bunch of waste. Their interests are considered great benefits in the Taoist sect. Don't joke with me. If they can be regarded as a Taoist sect In the case of Dali, how should the emperors from all over the world deal with themselves, such as the twenty-eight heavenly officials?"
This is a very realistic topic. Although speaking of his rhetoric, many people were furious, wishing to fight him immediately. But in fact, they also knew in their hearts that although Zhu Gangli's words were not pleasant, they were actually the truth.
They themselves are the kind of people who have no ability. If they had the ability, they would not gather here to keep warm, looking forward to overthrowing the tyranny of today's emperor so as to preserve their wealth today. Like those capable heavenly officials, wouldn't it be a better choice to strive for the greatest wealth and honor for oneself in the general trend of the heavenly court in the future?
This is a fact in itself, not because they don't admit it. And after recognizing this point, Zhu Gangli's suspicion naturally had a foothold to gain a foothold in. For people like them, does Zhang Daoling really need to take such a risk? Once this kind of doubt is planted, let alone Zhu Gangli doesn't believe it, even they themselves have some doubts to some extent.
Although no one has been able to express this kind of doubt openly, it is nothing more than obvious to a sensitive person like Zhang Daoling. He could see the thoughts of these people at a glance, and this also made him anxious, and he began to think about countermeasures.
He hasn't had time to think of specific countermeasures. In fact, he doesn't know how to appease these people and make them believe in what he said. But at this moment, Zhu Gangli said this unexpectedly.
"Of course, there may be some errors in my thinking. Because big people like you always have thoughts that us small people can't think of. You have lofty aspirations, and you have far-sighted plans. Who can say that these trash in my eyes are in your eyes? Don’t they have any special value in their eyes? Maybe they do have some unusual meanings, but I can’t see it.”
He would say such a thing, which really made everyone feel unexpected. No one could have imagined that he, who was aggressive just a moment ago, would actually speak for Zhang Daoling at this moment. Even Zhang Daoling himself was deeply confused, and felt something was wrong all over his body.
"What do you mean? Are you going to find an excuse to blackmail the old Taoist me?"
"No, no, how dare I have such thoughts to blackmail you, a big man?" With a laugh, Zhu Gangli started to say this while rubbing his big belly.
"I'm just stating every possibility I know. After all, I don't dare to make people like you feel wronged, do I? However, although I don't know what's in your heart, someone will know. If you are really innocent, why don't you come and do a little test with us?"
"Test? What do you mean?"
Although he was very reluctant, Zhang Daoling had to admit that he fell into Zhu Gangli's trap and began to be at his mercy. Even if he wanted to quit at this time, there was no possibility at all. So he could only breathe a sigh of relief, and said to Zhu Gangli frankly.
"It's very simple, we just need to wait for one person. Just wait for a while, Tianshi, what's on your mind, and whether your motives are clear or not, will naturally come to light. I think, such a short period of time , everyone can still wait. After all, compared with the big plan we are planning, carefulness is the most important thing to consider, isn't it?"
"Who are you waiting for?"
Although he already had an answer in his mind, Zhang Daoling still asked in the hope of what might happen. As for his question, Zhu Gangli just raised his brows, and then quickly laughed out loud.
"Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here. Come on, open the middle door. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva paid a visit last time, so don't let people say that I am rude."
Just as the saying goes, patience is like the earth, and meditation is as deep as a secret storehouse. Even in the Buddhist sect that is prone to lying, this is a very remarkable comment. Among the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the sky, there is actually only one who can deserve such a title, and that is the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who sits in the hell and makes great vows that the hell will not be empty.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has a special status in the entire Buddhist sect. Because he is a great bodhisattva specially conjured up by Sakyamuni when he was about to pass away. Its original meaning is that all living beings are suffering, and I have not been able to overcome them. When all these living beings have not been liberated, you will take over my burden and transform the world so that the world can get rid of the evil world of five turbidities and advance to the world of bliss. .
Of course, this is a glorified statement. The real meaning of the statement is actually very simple, that is, to entrust the great cause of Buddhism to him, hoping that he can inherit his legacy and lead the Buddhism instead of himself. However, it's like the past kings confirmed the inheritance of the throne and established a prince when they were dying. Although such an idea is beautiful, the possibility of realizing it is very small.
Because there are so many sects in such a huge Buddhist school, how could you allow a bodhisattva who just came to power to become a Buddha and a ancestor. Moreover, if a Buddha like Amitabha is still alive, if you want to ascend the throne of Sakyamuni, you have to ask his opinion. In such a situation where the young master is newly established and powerful enemies are around, it is completely clear at a glance what the result will be.
According to the experience of past dynasties, generally speaking, there are only two possibilities for such a young master. One is being manipulated as a puppet and then discarded. The other is to let him evaporate directly from the world, and completely go with the old master. This is the safest approach and the most beneficial to the current ruler. However, Ksitigarbha is not an ordinary person, nor is Amitabha Buddha.
The former knew the way of perseverance. Seeing that he could not compete with a Buddha like Amitabha, he simply gave up the orthodoxy passed down to him by Sakyamuni, and made a great wish that was impossible to realize, such as vowing not to become a Buddha without hell. Then he revealed that he had no intention of competing for the Buddhist position, and he only wanted to be a Bodhisattva with peace of mind.
And Amitabha is not a narrow-minded Lord. It can be seen from his ability to gradually expand the Buddhism, which is far better than it was at the beginning. Such a person has seen the ability and value of Ksitigarbha, of course it is impossible to give him up casually. Since keeping him is more beneficial to the great cause of Buddhism, he will naturally choose this choice that is more beneficial to Buddhism.
In this way, there is one more Bodhisattva in Buddhism who, like Avalokitesvara, is not a Buddha, but his strength and status are more respected than the other Buddhas. And such a powerful bodhisattva will also participate in their plans, and participate in it personally, which is indeed something no one thought of.
So, whoever it was, they all reacted with flabbergasted
