Chapter 693 Sunbathing in the West Sea!

Xiao quietly hid in the sky of the Kingdom of Gold. His powerful spiritual thoughts spread silently like a fine spider web, observing every corner and place of the entire Kingdom of Gold in all directions. Subtle changes.

He must thoroughly understand what caused this country, which was originally prosperous and had not suffered massacres, to resolutely abandon its long-standing faith and turn to the embrace of Buddhism.

Time passed quietly like a white horse passing by. When the sky was gradually shrouded in the dim dusk, the Golden Crow slowly converged its light and heat, and slowly sank into the West Sea, Xiao finally understood the deeply hidden truth.

It turned out to be: [Sunbathing in the West Sea]

The land of gold has been the final destination of sunset since ancient times. This is why there is so much gold here.

Those yellow sands have been roasted by the sun for many years, gradually changing their properties and turning into gold.

Under normal circumstances, every six hours, the Golden Crow, which has worked hard for a day, will slowly sink to the west, and finally land on Fuso Island to rest on the border of the West Sea.

However, for some unknown reason, before returning home at sunset, Golden Crow had an extra habit, which was to bathe in the West Sea to purify himself.

The Golden Crow's whole body was burning with the blazing real fire of the sun. When it jumped into the West Sea, it seemed as if fire and water suddenly met, making bursts of deafening roars, like thunder rolling in.

In an instant, the sea water boiled and rolled, setting off turbulent waves. The turbulent sound caused many innocent children in the city to suffer disaster.

Their fragile and petite bodies could not withstand such a huge roaring sound, and they lost their fresh lives in an instant.

Just when the people were in endless panic and grief, Buddha took the opportunity to teach a magic weapon called the Sunset Drum to the people in the city.

As long as the drum is sounded on time at sunset every day, the frightening sound of the boiling sea can be neutralized by the sound of the drum, thus protecting the young children in the city from disaster.

"I see... The Great Sun Tathagata is really a mastermind!"

Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, a piercing cold light flashed deep in his eyes, and he thought to himself.

The Great Sun Tathagata is the supreme Dharmakaya Buddha incarnated by Tathagata Buddha, who controls the supreme authority of the sun god.

Although the power of the sun in the world of Journey to the West is limited to the lineage of the Great Sun and Golden Crow, which prevents him from directly controlling the Great Sun and Golden Crow, he can still slightly influence the behavior of the Golden Crow with his unpredictable magic power.

Although the Great Sun Golden Crow has no spiritual wisdom at all, it still has instincts like ordinary animals, and this instinct only needs a little guidance to form a habit.

For example, after working hard all day, the Golden Crow takes a bath and cleanses before returning home. Such a normal need cannot be criticized by anyone, even if it leads to the death of innocent children in the city.

But you need to know that this land of quicksand was not originally a livable place for humans. Instead, humans' endless greed for gold drove humans to continuously transform this desolate land into an environment and build a prosperous city-state.

After all, this land was originally the private land of the Great Sun Golden Crow, and both humans and demons were foreign intruders.

Even if the Golden Crow drives away these trespassers, there is nothing wrong with it from a legal point of view.

Tathagata Buddha precisely grasped the key to this and deliberately affected the inherent habits of the Golden Crow, causing the Golden Crow to bathe in the West Sea and kill the children in the city with the sound of the sea boiling.

Later, Tathagata pretended to be compassionate, appeared to preach and impart treasures, and claimed that he would protect all sentient beings from suffering.

After all, no matter how much wealth you have, it is as fragile as a rootless tree in the face of the lives of your children. Nothing is as important as life. No matter how much money you have, if it is not passed down by the family, it will be nothing more than a handful of loess in a hundred years.

In the world of Journey to the West, family inheritance is more important than anything else.

With descendants offering sacrifices, you can continue to live a prosperous life even in the underworld. Whether you are reincarnated or entering the establishment, you still need to offer sacrifices.

As for those who have no descendants to sacrifice, they will really be lonely ghosts when they die. Regardless of being bullied by others, they will still be reincarnated as cows and horses.

In this way, it is natural and not surprising that people, driven by fear and inheritance from future generations, have turned to believe in Buddha.

However, Xiao was powerless in the face of the situation before him and had no way of making any changes.

The Great Sun and Golden Crow is a concrete manifestation of the power of the world, and its status is extremely respected. Even the gods and Buddhas in the sky, no one dares to touch it easily.

I think back then, during that thrilling battle of the gods, a huge hole was torn open in the sky by the power of the gods, which directly caused the great goddess Nuwa to wake up from her deep sleep.

After this powerful goddess woke up, she used her magical powers without hesitation to refine thousands of creatures and nailed them all to the hole in the sky.

If something goes wrong in the Golden Crow of the Great Sun, Empress Nuwa might wake up again, and then refine all these troublemakers into a new Great Sun and nail them back to the sky again.

As for the sunset drum, this treasure was forged by the authority of the Sun God Tathagata. After all, not just any drum can neutralize the quenching sound of the sun.

In this way, Xiao can conclude that from now on, this golden country has no other choice but to devoutly believe in the Tathagata.

Only Tathagata has the ability to save the children in this city from being killed by the sound of the boiling sea.

Although Xiao was extremely reluctant, at this moment, he could only swallow this loss silently.

Otherwise, how can it be said that this is Tathagata's conspiracy!

Tathagata clearly set up this situation on purpose, but even if Xiao knew very well in his heart that all this was done intentionally by Tathagata, he could not find any effective countermeasures to change the status quo.

Even the theory that he wanted to denounce the other party for being immoral and despicable was untenable!

You know, the fact that Tathagata Buddha sent the sunset drum to the Golden Kingdom was essentially a kind act full of compassion.

Besides, the decision of the Great Sun Golden Crow to bathe in the West Sea was made by the Golden Crow itself, and had nothing to do with Tathagata Buddha at all. As we all know, the will of the Golden Crow is independent and free.

And what about the transfer of faith? That is the voluntary behavior of those believers.

It's your fault that you, the Golden Toad, are unable to protect the common people who believe in you.

If that's the case, they will of course take the initiative to look for gods and Buddhas who can truly protect them. What's the problem?
