After handling the matter, Tang Sen did not stay long.
Using the power of the Water Spirit Pearl, he summoned a piece of sweet rain and turned a ginseng fruit into the rain. The people who were exposed to the rain lost all their illnesses and became radiant. Even the octogenarians also regained some vitality.
This is the only compensation Tang Sen can do. They are the ones who have been hurt, and they are the ones carrying the burden forward. They are really too tired.
Amidst the sounds of gratitude, Tang Sen and his party left.
From then on, there was one more longevity tablet enshrined in Chechi Kingdom, Tang Sanzang.
Almost every household offers offerings, and there is an endless stream of incense. The power of faith is transmitted into the underworld, but because Tang Sen does not have the Buddhist status or the heavenly status, he cannot use the power of faith for the time being.
On the way, Tang Sen heard from passers-by that in this car, Chi State had publicly tried the monks. Those who had committed serious crimes were all hanged, and those who committed less serious crimes were also punished accordingly, either through hard labor or as a concubine, but only
There is no innocent person, dozens or hundreds of people are guilty to some extent.
After hearing this, Tang Sen couldn't help but sigh. After all, it is just a legend that the environment determines the majority of life.
Out of the mud, how can you not be stained!
There is another piece of news that interests Tang Sen. Buddhism issued an announcement, publicly acknowledging the compliance of Tang Sen's handling, and also solemnly stated that Buddhist scum will be severely punished!
For a time, the number of Buddhist believers in the Three Realms dropped sharply, and the dissatisfaction with the rumors and rumors about Buddhism was also much less.
I can't tell whether it's good or bad at the moment, I'll just wait for time to verify the answer.
But Tang Sen is convinced that Buddhism will move towards the light. A clenched fist is always much more powerful than a piece of cloth spread out.
In the Three Realms, the popularity of Buddhism has dropped sharply, but wherever there are temples, the monks are all compassionate and kind, and there are many more ascetics. For a time, the Buddhist temples in the Three Realms have truly become holy places.
…
Xitian Buddhist Gate, Lingshan Scenic Spot, Daleiyin Temple.
"Buddha, does this have any impact on my Buddhist prestige?" Manjushri Bodhisattva said, with a look of deep worry on his face.
"Bodhisattva, you are too worried. Tripitaka's move is really of great merit to our Buddhist sect." Tathagata Buddha, who was sitting above, glanced at Manjushri Bodhisattva below.
He was not surprised at all that Manjusri Bodhisattva would come out to attack Tang Sanzang.
During the last Peach Festival, Manjusri secretly descended to the realm alone. He knew everything about what happened in the Wuji Kingdom, but he didn't expose it. If it was really exposed, Buddhism's real reputation would plummet.
"Actually, I have long wanted to rectify the Buddhist sect. Our Buddhist sect is growing in power, but there are many rabble-rousers who want to destroy the reputation of our Buddhist sect, but they have nowhere to start. Tripitaka's move is very much in line with my wishes." Tathagata Buddha thought.
In fact, he has long discovered the shortcomings of Buddhism. The Dharma Eyes' view of the three realms is no joke. The burning fire cooks the oil, and there is nothingness under the blooming surface. However, he cannot take action to rectify it because it involves the interests of too many Buddhist people.
, but Tang Sen’s identity is just right.
What's more, Tang Sen has done all the damage to Buddhism, so what reason does he have for not supporting his disciple?
Now he is quite satisfied with Tang Sen. At first it was just because he was a Buddhist scripture seeker and could spread Buddhism, but now he is satisfied with Tang Sen as a person.
He was meticulous and thoughtful in doing things. This time he did not conflict with Taoism and perfectly solved the hidden dangers of Buddhism. He was amazed by his methods.
He was thinking about one thing now. He looked around and saw all the Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, and Arhat Vajras.
"It is my intention to establish Tang Tripitaka, my holy son of Buddhism, and give him the title of 'Holy Monk'. Who is in favor of it and who is against it?"
The sound seemed very light, but it resounded throughout the hall, like the sound of thunder. All the Buddhas looked around, all astonished.
"This, Buddha, is this too much? Sanzang is a member of my Buddhist sect, and it is his duty to work for my Buddhist sect. This reward is too heavy. Such a reward is not conducive to the struggle of young people. I am a poor monk.
I just want to give him a small reward, so that Sanzang won't be proud or indifferent." He is still Manjushri Bodhisattva, and he doesn't want to stand up, but he doesn't want this reward to be received by Tang Sen.
Last time Tang Sen robbed him of the water spirit bead, he had a grudge. In fact, he wanted to take revenge, but Tathagata kept an eye on him and had no chance. But how could Tang Sen get this reward.
Everyone present does not know the meaning behind this reward. The Holy Son, the "Holy Monk", is equivalent to the position of the Prince. It is the only one, so you must be careful.
"Amitabha, this poor monk thinks that Manjushri Bodhisattva's words are wrong. If you have merit, you should be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you should be punished. If rewards and punishments are unclear, how can you govern people? Tripitaka's actions have made great contributions to our Buddhism, and he deserves to be rewarded." He was dressed in white, holding hands.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, holding a purification vase, stood up and said.
As soon as this statement came out, many people below nodded secretly, "That makes sense."
"Report!!! Disciples of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva outside the hall are asking for an audience." Outside the Leiyin Palace, an Arhat came in to report.
"Please." Tathagata Buddha seemed to have expected this.
"Amitabha, the poor monk Daoming, pays homage to the World Honored One." The person who came was none other than Ksitigarbha's disciple, Zen Master Daoming.
"What's wrong with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"
"World Honored One, Master believes that Tang Sanzang has made great contributions to our Buddhism and should be a saint son." Daoming said slowly.
"Wow", another big boss publicly expressed his support for Tang Sanzang, so the situation at the scene is very clear now. The four great Bodhisattvas Manjusri openly opposed it, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva openly supported it, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva has not yet expressed his stance, and Buddha
The meaning is also clearer.
Everyone present had a steelyard in their hearts, and they secretly began to calculate.
Tang Sanzang's move was undoubtedly beneficial to Buddhism, but it was harmful to them personally.
There are enough disciples below, and the power of incense and faith is abundant, but the wanton behavior of the Buddhist disciples has little impact on them. They still live high in the scenic spot of Lingshan Mountain and become Buddhas and ancestors.
But now, the number of Buddhist disciples has dropped sharply, and their income has also dropped. As the ancient saying goes: cutting off a person's wealth is like killing his parents.
Most of the Arhats and Bodhisattvas present were very dissatisfied with Tang Sen.
But now there are two great Bodhisattvas openly supporting Tang Sanzang, and even the Buddha is inclined to favor Tang Sanzang. They can't help but feel uneasy and focus their attention on the last Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra.
In Xitian Lingshan, the Buddha usually meditated and did not care about worldly affairs. Therefore, all matters in Buddhism were decided by Tathagata Buddha. Each of the four Bodhisattvas had the right to make suggestions. Over time, Xitian Lingshan was divided into four factions, each headed by the four Bodhisattvas.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is not in Lingshan all year round, so his influence is not that great, but his own strength and reputation still have a certain say in Lingshan.
Among the four, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva has the highest reputation and the greatest say. It can be said that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is the number two person in Lingshan now.
Usually, Manjusri and Samantabhadra can only hug each other to keep warm.
But now, after all, Tang Sen's decision has affected the interests of most people, and more people are hesitant.
Now it depends on Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. If Samantabhadra Bodhisattva also objects, then they can join forces and ask the Buddha to take back his life.
Due to interests, the alliance is not stable. It is not surprising that many people under Guanshiyin Bodhisattva may rebel.
Tathagata and Guanyin Bodhisattva also looked at Samantabhadra, waiting for his decision.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva hesitated again and again, but finally made a decision.
"Amitabha, this poor monk thinks the words of the World Honored One are reasonable."
"Boom", the sound of landing seemed to be heard in the silent hall. For a moment, everyone in the hall no longer had extravagant hopes, everything was a foregone conclusion.
"Samantabhadra, why are you?" Manjushri Bodhisattva's eyes were about to split, and he was frightened and angry.
He originally thought that he had a chance of winning. He and Samantabhadra joined forces, and combined with some Arhat Bodhisattva whose interests were harmed, they would be able to contain Tang Sanzang. However, he did not expect that the one who unexpectedly came out of the blue was the one he thought was his staunch ally, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
Everyone in the three realms knows that Manjushri and Samantabhadra have always been inseparable from Meng and Meng. They have always advanced and retreated together. This is also the key to their ability to maintain influence in the behemoth of Buddhism. Only when they complement each other can they have success.
With his current status, he didn't expect that Puxian would stab him when he needed it most, which he couldn't understand.
Could it be that Manjushri Bodhisattva thought of a possibility and looked at Samantabhadra Bodhisattva in disbelief.
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was there and turned a deaf ear to Manjusri's doubts.
Idiots can't communicate. This Manjusri has been dazzled by the hatred towards Tang Sanzang.
How could Samantabhadra not see that the Guanyin Bodhisattva on the scene firmly supports Tang Sanzang, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva specially sent disciples from the underworld to send messages to support Tang Sanzang, and it is not difficult to see from Tathagata Buddha's attitude that he valued Tang Sanzang
.
Can you object to what the three big bosses have decided?
The four major Bodhisattvas are also divided into two levels, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva are on the same level, Samantabhadra and Manjushri Bodhisattva are on the same level, not to mention the superior Buddha.
If he objects, of course he can temporarily stop Tang Sanzang, but then he will face the liquidation of the entire Buddhist gang. Isn't that a mantis blocking the car?
It's not necessary. This transaction is really a loss for Samantabhadra.
Why not be a favor now and help Tang Sanzang? Not only did he get favors from Tang Sanzang, but he also gained favors from the Buddha and the two Bodhisattvas. It was not a loss for him at all.
The last time Tang Sanzang met in the lower world, he was really not like a mortal, and his future was limitless.
As for Manjusri Bodhisattva? Just sell it to your pig teammates. They can still sell it for a good price now. If you don’t clear up the relationship now, you may drag yourself into a trap in the future.
"Yes." Tathagata Buddha nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this. Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and this Samantabhadra is quite smart.
As for this Manjusri? He is a fool who cannot see the current situation. Find a time to bury him.
"Amitabha, how good it is, how good it is. In this way, I will inform the three realms and establish Tang Sanzang as my holy son of Buddhism."
"good."
All the Bodhisattvas and Arhats bowed their heads, and no one objected.
Although Manjushri Bodhisattva was angry, he had nothing to do. The situation had been decided, and he could faintly smell the uneasiness.
