Chapter 715 719. Seeds of Doubt(1/2)

719, seeds of doubt
In the past, Lao Tzu transformed many treasures into Buddhas at Hangu Pass and spread the "Mahayana Buddhism". This was originally intended to divide Buddhism. Who would have thought that Jieyin Zhunti could afford to take it up and let it go? Seeing that it was unstoppable, he simply merged Western Buddhism into it.
Buddhism passed down the throne to many treasures, which turned them into 'Tathagata' and became the Buddha of Buddhism, while the two saints, Yin and Yin, retreated behind the scenes.
The operation of Jie Yin Zhunti caused Buddhism to gather together, the general trend rose, and the trend of great prosperity was unstoppable.
But speaking of truth, the biggest loss is not to others, but to the disciple Maitreya Buddha.
The original identity of the first heir is still the first heir. The two saints have retreated behind the scenes. The person sitting on the throne of Buddha is not Maitreya Buddha. His throne has become the 'Future Buddha';
The word "future" can only mean "future". No one can tell clearly when this "future" will arrive?
In Lingshan, although Buddhism has become softer, Mahayana and Hinayana still exist. Mahayana Buddhism has Tathagata as its ancestor, and Hinayana Buddhism has Maitreya as its ancestor. Needless to say, if there is no power struggle in this
, even ghosts don’t believe it.
Liu Hao's plan is a conspiracy. Even if Tathagata knows that this matter is probably not caused by Maitreya, but the matter has been opened up, cracks will inevitably occur, indicating that no matter what, the competition between the two factions will only become more and more intense.
Difficult to suppress.
Killing Lingji was just a matter of convenience. Tongtian knew the plan, so he laughed and cooperated. He personally made this 'talisman' and transformed the dream into a dream to guide the yellow wind monster. Under the hint of the saint, how could the yellow wind monster escape?
He could only proceed step by step according to the script, and loudly told the reasons behind the scenes with great joy, which made more people pay attention to the many powerful ideas of Journey to the West.
In addition, Lingji Bodhisattva died, and the true spirit flew towards the sky. Many great powers saw it. This way, it is obvious that he has entered the list of gods. Good guy, doesn't this mean that the rumored restart of the gods has been achieved?
To prove it in person? They cannot help but think about their own cause and effect.
There was silence in Lingshan, no one spoke, and Maitreya didn't want to speak. At this time, he couldn't explain clearly. As a party involved, his testimony at this time seemed to have little meaning.
Maitreya was not afraid, it was not him who did it, and his master would confirm it, but Lingshan’s suspicious eyes made him very unhappy. He swept the whole place and talked about the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats who had their eyes closed and looked the same.
Once he remembered it in his heart, these people were his real direct descendants in the future. He didn't bother to care about the life and death of others. That was the Buddha's business now, and it was not his turn to care.
"Amitabha! I don't know which saint planned this time. According to my calculations, there is only chaos!"
The Tathagata broke the silence. Maitreya was dissatisfied with him. How could he not know it? He was just too lazy to take care of it. The power was in his hands. That was enough! Saints cannot come to the mortal world. Occasionally there are decrees, which will not have any impact on his Buddha's power. He doesn't care about these.
;
But today, he needs to spend more time paying attention to Maitreya's movement, but don't let it slip, otherwise his status will become that of 'past Buddha'.
"The yellow wind monster is just a chess piece. According to what he just said, Jin Chanzi's disaster is over. But what should we do with the yellow wind monster?"
Although Tathagata asked, he headed towards Maitreya. The meaning is very simple. Although it was not you who did it, the Yellow Wind monster recognized you and is waiting for your invitation! Are you recruiting now or have you killed Huang Feng?
Avenging Lingji Bodhisattva?
Tathagata is also a scheming person. The ball was kicked to Maitreya, so Maitreya must do the bad guy.
Maitreya recruited the yellow wind monster, and the many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the spiritual mountain must secretly hate him. Maitreya must lose his prestige.
If you don't do it, everyone in the immortal world will think that it was you, Maitreya, who made the Yellow Wind Monster's wish, but ended up going back on your word, and your integrity will be gone.
How come Maitreya didn't know about Tathagata's conspiracy, and his originally indifferent mentality was a little broken. He finally understood how uncomfortable he, the 'future Buddha', was after the power struggle in Lingshan started. Sitting in the seat was Tathagata.
The decision-making power is in other people's hands. If you push lightly, you will feel so uncomfortable that you will feel uncomfortable no matter what you do. There is no way to take the initiative.
At the same time, Maitreya was also very angry. He originally wanted to argue with him in the future, but now he realized that it was no longer an issue that he just had to fight if he didn't want to, but that he had to fight, otherwise, he might lose his position as a 'future Buddha'.
"Buddha can make the decision on this matter. Buddhism is spreading eastward, and what is being spread is the 'Mahayana Buddhism'. I, the 'future Buddha', can just sit high in the clouds and take a look!"
Maitreya is not easy to deal with either. In this Lingshan Mountain, there are only a few people who can blatantly reject Tathagata. He even glanced at Ran Deng while he was talking. This 'past Buddha' never opened his eyes and really ignored him.
That's a fool.
Tathagata smiled and was not angry. He had already expected that Maitreya would shirk. This matter really made Maitreya take action. It is impossible to say that Jieyin had a grudge in his heart. What he just said was just to test Maitreya. If Maitreya really took action, he would have to be even more vigilant.
.
"Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta, you have worked so hard to capture that yellow-haired marten, and you can give Jin Chanzi an explanation!"
"Respect the Buddha's decree!"
Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva left after receiving his command, and no one mentioned the matter of Lingji Bodhisattva again. However, everyone understood that one of the six Bodhisattva positions was vacant and had to be filled by someone else. However, the Tathagata still had the final say on this matter, and there was no such thing this time.
The announcement can be regarded as an opportunity for them to operate and show their loyalty.
As the ancestor of ten thousand Buddhas, Tathagata has left and right attendants, that is, left and right hands. These two people are Avalokitesvara and Mahasthamaprapta. One represents Buddhism and manifests in the world, walks in the world, and promotes Buddhism. The other is very low-key. This person is Mahasthamaprapta.
To the Bodhisattva.
Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva rarely walks out of the spiritual mountain. He follows the Tathagata closely. Wherever the Tathagata goes, he will follow him. Under the cover of the Tathagata with the light of thousands of feet, even if others see Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, they can just glance past him.
Ignore it quickly;
But if you really ignore the Mahasthamaprapta, it will definitely backfire on you. In Lingshan, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva is never easy to mess with. Even the Buddha must give him three points of face. This three points of face is not for the sake of the Tathagata, but for the sake of the Tathagata.
This is due to Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva’s own strength.
Today's matter is related to the future Buddha Maitreya. It would not be good for anyone else. The Mahasthamaprapta represents the Tathagata to a certain extent. It is the best choice for him to take the initiative. When traveling, no one thought that the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva could not handle Huang.
Wind monster.
In Huangfengling, Sun Wukong finally took eye drops. When he returned, he was filled with anger. This anger was not directed at the Yellow Wind Monster, but at Lingji Bodhisattva. Before he and Lingji Bodhisattva went there, they heard that Lingji
The Bodhisattva has a magic weapon to restrain the yellow wind monster. He thought that his experience would be a smooth process, but he didn't know that he was the one who suffered.
"Great Sage, Your Majesty has already set up a banquet and has been waiting for a long time. He is just waiting for the Great Sage to attend the banquet!"
As soon as Sun Wukong fell down, he saw a little demon arching his body and clasping his fists, with a humble expression. Zhu Bajie, who was guarding the salute at the side, glanced at him with confused eyes, as if he couldn't see through the inside, and there was still a hint of suspicion in his expression.
, it seems that Sun Wukong and the Huangfengling monster are in the same group?
Sun Wukong was also at a loss, and when he saw Zhu Bajie's eyes, he was even more annoyed. He bared his teeth, grabbed the little demon's armor with his big furry hands, stood on tiptoes, and looked down, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and his voice was a little hoarse;
"Little monster, you should tell me, Old Sun, where is Lingji Bodhisattva?"
"Great...Great Sage! The king of our family said that he...he followed the will of the future Buddha...Buddha to kill...Lingji Bodhisattva...this traitor!
Now that the matter has been completed, a banquet will be held to entertain the holy monks, and we are waiting for the great sage to attend the banquet!"
After the little demon finished speaking intermittently, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were dumbfounded. They looked at each other and saw differences in each other's eyes.
"Elder brother, do we want to get involved in this matter?"
Zhu Bajie grabbed Sun Wukong, avoided the little demon, and asked in a low voice;
"Idiot, tell me, Old Sun, what's the point?"
Zhu Bajie saw that Sun Wukong's face was even more confused. He looked around, as if he was afraid of someone eavesdropping, and even suppressed his voice to the extreme to ensure that it would not be heard within the hearing range of the two. His actions also made Sun Wukong feel more solemn.
, naturally believed in the authenticity of Zhu Bajie’s next words.
"Senior Brother, there are past Buddhas in Lingshan, present Buddhas, and future Buddhas. The present Buddha is the present Buddha, Tathagata Buddha, and the future Buddha is the future Buddha, Maitreya Buddha!"
Zhu Bajie said this, looked around again, and then continued to say in Sun Wukong's ear;
"Brother, it is said that Tathagata Buddha practiced 'Mahayana Buddhism' and Maitreya Buddha practiced 'Hravaya Buddhism'. The relationship between the two is not good! Lingji Bodhisattva is one of the six great Bodhisattvas under Tathagata Buddha. We really want to suppress the rebellion.
, it is also the action of the Tathagata Buddha. When will it be the turn of the future Buddha to take action?
This is not something that our little arms and legs can participate in! Senior brother, we cannot participate in this banquet! Our master is a disciple of Tathagata Buddha, and we are in the wrong team, so we are in real trouble!"
Sun Wukong understood what Zhu Bajie meant, but his eyes became even more confused;
"Idiot, how do you know this?"
"Senior Brother, who in the Earthly Immortal Realm doesn't know about Lingshan? Isn't it possible that Senior Brother doesn't know about it?"
Zhu Bajie looked at Sun Wukong in disbelief as he spoke. He didn't know that Sun Wukong didn't know this. It was just an act. His look immediately inspired Sun Wukong. He had to pretend to understand even if he didn't understand. Otherwise, the famous Qi
Isn’t it possible that the Great Sage Sun Wukong is a country bumpkin?
"How could you not know? I, Old Sun, am just thinking about how you, a marshal from Heaven, know so much about the inside story of Lingshan. Hehehehe, if you don't talk about this, tell me, what should we do now?"
Zhu Bajie still glanced at Sun Wukong suspiciously, and whispered again;
"Elder brother, we'd better postpone it for a while and see how Tathagata Buddha reacts. If Lingshan doesn't send anyone here, it won't be too late for us to go to the banquet again!"
"Idiot, are you so sure that Lingshan will send someone?"
Compared to Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong is still too naive. As soon as Zhu Bajie heard the little demon's words, he knew that there must be something inside. Regardless of whether it was true or not, the immortal world must think that it was due to Lingshan's struggle for power. Regardless of whether it was true or not, Tathagata Buddha must also
Send someone to finish it off.
"Hehehe, Senior Brother, there is no need for us to rush anyway, why not wait?"
Sun Wukong stared at Zhu Bajie again and again. After a long time, he nodded and approved Zhu Bajie's suggestion. But in his heart, he was thinking more. For the first time, he found that he needed to understand many things in the immortal world in depth.
This wait lasted only half a day, and the little demon did not dare to rush him at all. It was only when Sun Wukong was getting a little irritable that a scent of fragrance floated from the sky. However, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva hurriedly arrived. He saw Sun Wukong
He and Zhu Bajie were waiting outside, feeling greatly relieved and praising him for being a governor.
As soon as Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva landed, he gave the little demon a slap and beat it into dust. This move also shocked Sun Wukong. If it were him, he would not be able to do this.
Easy and freehand.
There are some things that Lingshan needs to know, but he cannot openly talk about them. Otherwise, the world of immortals will only laugh at Buddhism even more, and may not follow suit in the future and try to sow more craziness in the relationship between Tathagata and Maitreya.
This matter was destined to be impossible to inform Sun Wukong and his entourage. Zhu Bajie was okay. He had been around the system and knew what things needed to be pretended to be stupid. As soon as Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva came, he started to pretend to be stupid and even tried to ask questions several times.
To be continued...
