Chapter 312 Deliberation
The plan for Journey to the West has reached a critical moment, but when things come to an end, the Dragon King of Jinghe has had this incident.
This made it unacceptable for many middle and lower-level Buddhist disciples.
In their hearts, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, who are powerful and omnipotent, will have trouble at such a critical moment.
The long-browed Arhat looked at the Buddha, "Buddha! The Dragon King of Jinghe really wants to be in seclusion for 30 years?"
The Eighteen Arhats are the leaders of many Arhats, and the long-browed Arhats, as the head of the Eighteen Arhats, are still unwilling to believe that the Dragon King of Jinghe will go into seclusion at a critical moment.
Don’t they want to get a share of the pie and further their cultivation to obtain the Bodhisattva Path Fruit?
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked unhappy, "The long eyebrows, the Buddha has golden mouths and jade words, how could he talk nonsense?"
When Manjushri Bodhisattva saw that Guanyin Bodhisattva was angry, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, don't get angry!"
"The incident happened to the Dragon King of Jinghe suddenly caught us off guard."
"He didn't mean that Changmei, he was also devoted to my Buddhist sect."
As the incarnation of great wisdom, Manjushri Bodhisattva naturally did not want to have a quarrel at this moment and immediately helped to smooth things over.
In fact, not only the Eighteen Arhats, but everyone is unwilling to believe that this is true.
After all, Journey to the West is the source of the great rise of Buddhism, and it is a fixed number!
What is a fixed number? Everything exists, and what must happen in the future is considered a fixed number.
But now I don’t know what’s wrong. Will the good Dragon King of Jinghe suddenly shrink his head and go into seclusion?
This is not like the Jinghe Dragon King who loves the people as much as his son and is extremely upright.
The rise of Buddhism requires the frequent disasters of Journey to the West. After Journey to the West, the spark of Buddhism will spread rapidly in the mortal world.
But why did the destined thing become like this?
As the leader of Buddhism, Yuan Shoucheng was even the one he personally arranged.
One by one, why did the Dragon King of Jinghe suddenly go into seclusion?
"Amitabha!" The Buddha Tathagata called the Buddha's name, and everyone present immediately calmed down.
Everyone looked at the Buddha one after another.
"I can't figure it out, the Dragon King of Jinghe has already known about Yuan Shoucheng, so why didn't he go to ask for trouble?"
"Doing this has violated the personality of the Dragon King of Jinghe. He is definitely not the one who ignores the water races when they continue to perish!"
"A few days ago, he had sent his subordinates to Chang'an City to inquire about information, but..."
The Buddha's face was sunny and calm, and he thought there was absolutely something wrong with this.
"Buddha! I think someone must be making trouble!"
"Do you think it's because the Lingbao Heavenly Lord is in secret?"
Suddenly a sound resounded in the hall, and it was Sunlight Bodhisattva.
He has been in Buddhism and rarely goes out. All the things that have happened in Buddhism over the years have been linked by Sunlight Bodhisattva.
The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. Bodhisattva Riguang said frankly and said directly from the Tathagata's heart.
"Yes! Buddha, didn't Jin Chanzi run to the Heavenly Court for no reason?"
"Did the Buddha remember that saint clone?"
"Haha! The man who claimed to be a broom star beat me to death by the ancestor of Buddhist Swallowing Spirit and the Ancient Buddha of Lanting."
"That's right? Even the Buddha can't walk three moves. Who else can't stand the clone of a saint?"
The words of Sunlight Bodhisattva immediately ignited everyone's thoughts.
Everyone pointed their finger at Lingbao Tianzun.
After the public trial of Jin Chanzi, the Buddha analyzed that it was very likely that the saint's clone was doing the trick.
As a recognized saint, Buddha could not even be able to escape three moves?
If it weren't for the clone of a saint, how could he kill the Buddha Lan Deng and the Ancestor Swallowing Spirit to death in two moves, and suppress the Buddha Tathagata in three moves?
The mysterious young man made a big fuss in Lingshan back then, causing the Buddhists to lose face in front of the monks in the Three Realms.
Since then, this incident has become a legend and can be heard by people nowadays.
This is the stain on Buddhism over the years and the pain in the hearts of all Buddhists.
If it weren't for the clone of Lingbao Tianzun, who else could have such strong strength?
That is, the Buddha Tathagata has a grudge against the Lingbao Heavenly Lord, so the Lingbao Heavenly Lord sent his clone to cause trouble.
Hearing everyone's words, Buddha Tathagata suddenly became one head and three.
This incident was also a pain in his heart. If it weren't for the loss of his top innate spiritual treasure Ruyi Golden Bowl back then, how could he lose?
Ruyi’s golden bowl is in hand, and even if the person cannot be suppressed, he can escape unscathed.
Tathagata waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Amitabha, now that things have come to this point, do you have any good ideas?"
Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta thought for a while and looked at the Buddha: "Report to the Buddha! Since the Dragon King of Jinghe cannot hide, why not use it?"
"Bodhisattva Bodhisattva, do you mean to force the Dragon King of Jinghe to cause trouble?"
"Not appropriate! This matter is absolutely inappropriate, so the Jade Emperor will never compromise."
"Everything has to be done according to the procedure."
The Buddha Tathagata directly rejected the suggestion of Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta.
The Heavenly Court can cooperate with them, firstly, the Heavenly Court has cause and effect with his Buddhist sect, and secondly, the Heavenly Court has a mess of sand and has to make concessions.
Now even if the Buddhist sects the Spirit-Swallowing Ancestor, the Ancient Buddha of Lanting, Maitreya Buddha, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and others, they are still the largest forces in the Three Realms.
As for Lingji Bodhisattva who fell in the heavenly court, he only had the cultivation level of Daluo Jinxian.
How many people can directly obey the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Court?
Countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Buddhism will be dispatched as long as the Buddha Tathagata gives the order.
Can the Heavenly Court be able to do it? Those emperors alone are not driven by the Jade Emperor, let alone the majority of the gods are people from the Jie Sect.
It is recognized that people from the Jie Sect have always listened to the tune and not the propaganda.
The Jade Emperor has a glorious appearance, but his life is not easy either.
Even if Buddhism is strong, it cannot be used to be strong. Who knows whether the Heavenly Court will rebound?
If the Heavenly Court rebounds, things will be even more troublesome. If the Dragon King of Jinghe is also a member of the Heavenly Court.
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's eyes flashed and looked at the Buddha and said, "Buddha, it is better for us to use the method of moving flowers and connecting trees."
"Transfer flowers and connect trees? You mean..." Buddha Tathagata seemed to have thought of something.
"Yes! Buddha, since the Dragon King of Jinghe cannot conceal, we cannot use force."
"Then let's find the Dragon King from the rivers near the Tang Dynasty capital to do this."
"In this way, the meaning of whether the Dragon King of Jinghe is in seclusion or not is not important!"
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva said with a smile.
"Well! I see this plan work." Buddha Tathagata nodded, "I wonder if you have new candidates?"
"Manjushri Bodhisattva, you have arranged monsters on your way west for many years. Can you choose someone?"
The Buddha's eyes turned to the path of Manjushri Bodhisattva.
"Buddha, look! There are two rivers near the Tang Dynasty." Manjushri Bodhisattva pointed to the picture in the air and said.
The picture in this time and space is a bird's-eye view of the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
"One of this is Jinghe River, located in the south of Chang'an City!"
"Buddha, look at the east side, isn't there a Luoshui River?"
