Chapter 434 Fosi
In the Lingshan Mountain, the Tathagata released the light of the relics, and there were forty-two white rainbows in the sky, connecting the north and the south.
At this time, he was deep in thought.
The scripture seekers are already on their way. According to the plan, the scripture seekers will go through eighty-one hardships and arrive at Lingshan Mountain to obtain the true scripture and complete this drama.
This was the plan he and the Jade Emperor made at the "Antian Conference" five hundred years ago.
The Jade Emperor is sitting high in the Lingxiao Palace, but a monkey rushes to the Lingxiao Palace. It is really ridiculous!
But the reality is like this!
Among the four emperors, Emperor Gouchen Shanggong and Ziwei Arctic Earth stood idly by. Houtu Huangdi had already withdrawn from the Heavenly Court and did not care about these things.
If it weren't for the envoy Wang Lingguan and the generals of the Lei Department who were the assistants of Lord You Sheng, he would have rushed into the Lingxiao Palace without any hesitation!
It's just that the Holy Lord Yousheng is one of the Four Saints of the North Pole. He is a subordinate of the Ziwei North Pole Emperor, but he took refuge in the Jade Emperor five hundred years ago. Now, the Holy Lord Blessing has been enshrined as the God of the North Pole Town Zhenwu Xuantian! Ziwei Arctic Emperor and his men were liquidated.
The power struggle in heaven is evident!
That's why the Jade Emperor praised him and promoted him five hundred years ago, just to use him to attack his opponents.
A Wang Lingguan can resist the demon monkey. Is there really no way to deal with the demon monkey in heaven?
Life is like a play, and immortal life is similar!
He calmly accepted the olive branch offered by the Jade Emperor and accepted the Jade Emperor's kindness. The Jade Emperor wanted to use him as a sword to weaken the Taoist sect, and he also wanted to use the Jade Emperor's influence to stabilize Lingshan.
Yes, sit tight on Lingshan.
Wherever there are people, there are rights and politics. What's more, when Sanqing disappears, there is no way ahead. Some people are willing to lie down, while others are put into high positions, walking on thin ice!
As Buddhism developed, it attracted many other people to join in and become this ancient Buddha and that Buddha Mother. This Dharma protector, that Vajra and so on. In this way, the Buddhist organizational structure is very bloated and complex.
The world is a big team, and Lingshan is no exception.
If Taoism revolves around the Three Purities, it forms an organization with master and disciple as the connection. Then Buddhism is like a hilltop. Whoever has more Vajras and Bodhisattvas under his command will have a louder voice.
Fortunately, his Lingshan Mountain is very powerful among the entire Buddhist sect. So much so that the Eastern Medicine Buddha's Eastern Glazed Light World and Amitabha's Western Paradise are not as powerful as his Lingshan Mountain.
Naturally, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and there is naturally a power struggle in Lingshan.
The first to bear the brunt are the ancient Buddhas of the past Buddha and the future Buddha Maitreya Buddha. One of these two Buddhas is the Tathagata's predecessor, and the other is preparing to take over the Tathagata's class. The ancient Buddha on Ran Deng was fine and didn’t ask many questions. But Maitreya Buddha was vaguely stumbling upon him.
As long as something happens to Tathagata, Maitreya can come to power!
Maitreya is in the dark and he is in the light, making Tathagata very passive. In particular, this guy relied on himself as the future Buddha to draw many Buddhists in Lingshan who were dissatisfied with the Tathagata to his side.
Those are Buddhists from the Ran Deng sect and other external sects. It is completely normal for them to be dissatisfied with the current Tathagata.
After all, no one can do anything to please everyone! Tathagata can only let those who are close to him eat first.
Daleiyin Temple is not a place rich in products. Otherwise, all the bhikkhus and holy monks who came down from the mountain and chanted sutras at the house of Elder Zhao in Savatthi State to ensure the safety of the living and the transcendence of the dead would only beg three buckets and three liters of rice and gold. He also said that the monks and nuns had been sold so cheaply that their descendants would have no money to use them.
Another anomaly is Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Nowadays, there are undercurrents surging in Lingshan. Many people are still reciting Amitabha on the surface, but secretly they have begun to spread the Vedas.
What "Buddha friend, have you ever heard of Brahman?"
What "Buddha friends, have you ever heard of the original song?"
What "Buddha friends, have you heard of capital?"
Even Tathagata Buddha has heard of him!
He read the "Vedas" for a long time, and there were two words in it - "cannibalism"!
Eat carefully, eat slowly, and eat elegantly. Not only will there be plenty of food to eat, but it will also allow people to create prices, expand the population, and have a steady stream of food! It’s really wonderful!
Compared with this, the Buddhist method that does not involve production is simply too crude!
He still had to make up lies, secretly infiltrate the underworld, deceive Li Shimin, and unite with the Jade Emperor before he could sing this great drama of Journey to the West. If you follow the methods in the Vedas, there is no need for trouble!
Where did the scriptures first spread? Many clues vaguely point to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
The Guanyin Bodhisattva is one of the Five Elders of the Five Directions like him, but he still treats him as a disciple and works for him safely in Lingshan Mountain. Especially because of her strong work ability and wide network, nothing can be difficult for her. Compared with Guanyin, the other three Bodhisattvas really have no sense of existence.
It really makes Tathagata take more precautions against her.
Now that she has this sutra, Tathagata pays more attention to her. It's a pity that he was given the task of finding the Buddhist scripture collector at that time, but now this Buddhist scripture collector looks like his second disciple's lawlessness.
That Jin Chanzi was also studious and motivated at that time, and looked like a enlightened Buddhist.
It's just that... he unknowingly got together with some random people in Lingshan, and became extreme and suspicious.
It can be said that Jin Chanzi at that time represented the representative of those who opposed Tathagata in Lingshan.
Fortunately, he has used thunderous means to extinguish this momentum.
The matter of the pilgrims could no longer be taken care of at the moment. A greater crisis was in front of him. He had already noticed that there was a force under the Lingshan Mountain that was beginning to unite with the help of the Vedas to attack him.
What should he do when faced with the Vedas?
Ban this sutra?
No, it cannot be banned!
Almost everyone in Lingshan has read this sutra. If it is banned, wouldn't it appear that he is afraid?
Things like thoughts will only arouse people's curiosity the more they are banned!
He needs to hold a Ullambana meeting to debate the scriptures and purge Lingshan of his thoughts!
But he didn't know that someone was also waiting for this Bon Dharma ceremony.
The so-called leadership means to open up the market and take the lead in making (painting) cakes. When the old leaders can no longer draw the pie and let more people eat the pie, new forces will slowly grow.
Even the Tathagata who controls the present and overwhelms all the Buddhas in Lingshan cannot do it!
What should Buddha do this time?
Tang Yan, the source of his thoughts, didn't care about what happened in Lingshan. He had no idea that Guanyin could move so fast! Even if you know it, it's not surprising, because although thoughts have no lethality, they can affect people's actions.
The sword kills, and the sword can only see blood.
Thoughts kill people. Not only do they kill people without blood, they can also kill people's hearts!
One person, one monkey and one horse left the Guanyin Temple and walked west for five or six days before arriving at a village. After a few casual inquiries, I knew this place was Gao Laozhuang!
"Wukong, go and find out. Is there anyone who wants to slay the demon?"
"Master, the smell of fireworks is everywhere here. Does it look peaceful? Where are the monsters?" The monkey looked at it and said.
"Yes! Yes! There are monsters!" Overhearing the conversation between two people on the roadside, a boy with his head wrapped in cotton cloth said!
