The reason why Ananda Bodhisattva is about to make a breakthrough, and the reason why his cultivation is about to take off, is because he has also obtained merit.
When Tang Monk and his disciples received the merits, Heaven also sent down thousands of small merits and distributed them throughout the prehistoric era.
These merits are all those who participated in and helped the calamity during the Journey to the West, and the merits they obtained are very reasonable.
Officially, because Ananda Bodhisattva received this ray of merit, he had the opportunity to make a breakthrough in his cultivation, and it also allowed him to achieve his wish.
Among these people, Shen Gongbao is the one who has gained the most merits. His merits are almost the same as those of Zhu Bajie and the other four.
These merits, combined with Shen Gongbao's previous accumulation, are enough to break through and become a saint.
But Shen Gongbao wanted to be safe. He wanted to make a breakthrough when the luck of Buddhism reached its peak after the Journey to the West Tribulation was completely over.
At that time, Shen Gongbao's breakthrough to become a saint was the safest way and the best time!
It is not only Shen Gongbao who has this idea, Ananda himself also has this idea. Now all the disciples of Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism have this idea.
Although their breakthrough is not as important as Shen Gongbao, it is also very important to them.
It is also a very good choice to have a reliable breakthrough opportunity.
Before arriving at the Main Hall, Ananda Bodhisattva went in to report. At this time, Tang Monk turned to look at Sun Wukong and said.
"Wukong, I hope you will think clearly. If your strength is only as strong as it is now, I still hope that you can endure it! Only by enduring it until you become a saint can you have the right to be arrogant!"
Sun Wukong and others were very surprised by Tang Seng's words, but they all knew that Tang Seng had recovered his memory and becoming a disciple of Buddhism was a certainty.
But what Tang Seng and Sun Wukong said was very unreasonable, and they couldn't understand it.
Seeing Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie looking at him with the same eyes, Tang Seng knew what they were thinking, and then said.
"You don't have to look at me in this way. Although my teacher has recovered his memory and knows that he was a disciple of Buddhism before, the memory of this life is also very important to me. Even the memory of this life is my dominant memory now.
, as a teacher, I still hope that you can all do well."
Hearing what Tang Monk said, Sun Wukong and others were very moved.
"Master, I understand what you mean, but there are some things you still don't know. You will know it when the time comes, and you don't need to persuade me. Also, you will always be my master. As long as you have something to do, as long as I am still in the wilderness,
You can come to Huaguo Mountain to find me, and the same goes for you." Sun Wukong said.
Sun Wukong only said this to Tang Monk at first, but finally looked at Zhu Bajie and the others and said those words.
"Master, Brother Monkey, if you want to find me in the future, come to Heaven. I will not leave Heaven." Zhu Bajie also said.
Sha Wujing, Wu Ming and Bai Longma all told the place where one of them lived.
Hope they can get together one day.
After they finished chatting, Ananda Bodhisattva came out and said to Tang Monk and the others.
"Tang Monk, I, the Buddha, have summoned you now."
Tang Monk and the others said nothing and followed Ananda Bodhisattva into the Mahavira Hall, which was familiar yet unfamiliar to them.
Now, the number of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the Main Hall has increased again, and there are many new faces they have never seen before.
Master Tang Seng and his disciples knew that many of these people had returned from other places, and some of them had just been promoted to the rank of Da Luo Jin Immortal Queen and were promoted to Bodhisattvas.
There are still some people here whose cultivation is not very stable yet, and their cultivation is about to break through.
Tang Monk and everyone now know that these people all want to go into seclusion after the Tribulation of Journey to the West is completely over!
Arriving at the front of the line, Tang Monk did not kneel down but instead performed a very standard Buddhist salute to the Medicine Buddha.
"Disciple pays homage to the Buddha!"
"Wuneng (Wujing, Wuming, Xiaolong) pays homage to the Medicine Master." Zhu Bajie and others saluted.
But Sun Wukong alone did not make any move, he just looked at the pharmacist quietly and did not speak.
Now Sun Wukong doesn't even bother to talk to the pharmacist.
"Get up." The pharmacist did not have a seizure and asked Tang Seng and the others to get up first.
"Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty, you were originally my second disciple, named Jin Chanzi. Because you did not listen to me when I was teaching the Dharma and disturbed the order of the Dharma lectures, your true spirit was demoted to the mortal world. You have been reincarnated many times.
Dongtu, now you have gone through many hardships to come to Daleiyin Temple to obtain the true scriptures. Today, you have finally found refuge, achieved enlightenment, and have great merits in the world. I call you the Tantan Merit Buddha."
As the pharmacist conferred the title of Buddha, Tang Seng's body glowed with golden light. Tang Seng's own body transformed, and then he used his merits to condense into a new body. That body was put away after Tang Seng's new body was completed.
Tang Seng's move was not very clear to everyone, but Sun Wukong and the Medicine Master all understood it.
This is Tang Monk who wants to transform from mortal life to become a Buddha, and finally come to an end with the affairs of the mortal world. Only such Tang Monk will have a purer heart to worship Buddha!
Sun Wukong and the pharmacist both looked at Tang Monk with a smile and nodded. Sun Wukong nodded secretly, while the pharmacist nodded in public.
Because of the approval of the Medicine Master, Tang Seng's move was not surprising in the eyes of Buddhist disciples.
The Medicine Master waited until Tang Seng was stable, then turned to look at Sun Wukong. When he was about to seal Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong said.
"Pharmacist, I don't need to ban you. You should ban the idiots and them. It's time to settle the accounts between you and me."
When Sun Wukong spoke, all the gods and Buddhas in the Mahavira Hall were shocked.
They knew that Sun Wukong would make trouble, but they didn't expect that Sun Wukong would be so bold. They couldn't react for a while, and the whole Leiyin fell into a strange silence.
"How dare you! How dare you be so rude..." After all the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas came to their senses, they all denounced Sun Wukong.
Tang Monk stood aside but did not speak. He just closed his eyes and chanted sutras silently.
"Quiet." The medicine master glanced at all the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas and said.
The pharmacist came out to speak, and everyone fell silent, but their eyes were all fixed on Sun Wukong, as if they wanted to kill Sun Wukong with his eyes.
"Okay, Sun Wukong, I promise you, I will be able to gain enlightenment first, and then they will take care of your business." The pharmacist said with a cold face.
"Master Medicine Master, we don't need to ban you. You should know our situation. Even if you ban a few of us, we won't accept it." Zhu Bajie said quickly when he saw the pharmacist looking at them.
Zhu Bajie's words were recognized by Sha Wujing, Wu Ming and Bai Longma, and they all rejected the pharmacist's canonization.
"Wu Neng, Wu Jing and Wu Ming Wu can be understood, but Bai Longma, are you sure you don't want to join my Buddhism?"
"You, a different race of dragons, have been protected by the heavens to survive. Now I can promise you that as long as you are willing to join my Buddhism, you will be the leader of the eight heavenly dragons in my religion. How about it?" The pharmacist looked very ugly.
said.
"Thank you so much for the kindness of the Medicine Master Saint. I, Ao Bai, am a member of the Heavenly Court and have never thought of leaving the Heavenly Court. Ao Bai can only live up to the great trust of the Saint." Bai Longma said respectfully.
"Okay, okay, very good." The pharmacist could no longer hold back his anger and turned to look at Sun Wukong and said.
"Houtou, you want to settle things with me, are you qualified now?"
After saying that, he exerted the momentum of the middle stage saint on Sun Wukong alone, making everyone shocked.
