This put Buddhism, which originally wanted to "learn" from the script of "Journey to the East", into a state of confusion.
After all, they don't understand anything about love.
Especially the messy entanglement between Lu Dongbin and the Peony Fairy, He Xiangu and the Pangolin, and the Pangolin and the Chun tree spirit in "Journey to the East" made all the Buddhas look at them with big eyes and small eyes, and they were confused.
If you can't even understand it, how can you copy it?
How can we not make Buddhist monks worry?
"Honorable sirs, what do you think?" At the end of the latest episode, Tathagata Buddha on the lotus platform finally asked.
The Arhats and Bodhisattvas of His Highness looked at each other and were at a loss.
"Buddha." After a long while, Manjushri Bodhisattva stood up and said, "Let's just copy the plot of "Journey to the East" and replace the Eight Immortals with the story of a Buddhist monk and give it a new look."
"No!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Guanyin on the side shook his head.
She then looked at the Tathagata and explained: "My Buddhist sect has always abstained from the seven emotions and six desires, and focused on the purity of the six roots. This "Journey to the East" is all about love and sadomasochism, which is completely contrary to the purpose of my Buddhist sect."
"It's really not suitable for reference. If the relationship between men and women is removed, the effect of the imitation will be greatly reduced."
Tathagata Buddha thought deeply for a moment and nodded.
"Well, that makes sense."
Manjushri Bodhisattva was slightly dissatisfied after hearing this and said: "Then Venerable Guanyin would like to tell you, how should we do it?"
"Other than "Journey to the East", there is only one TV series that we can learn from now: "The Legend of White Snake". The latter is more difficult to learn from and adapt than the former. Unless you can create your own script, but who has this ability?"
"Do you expect Fu Hu?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Buddhas turned their attention to Arhat Crouching Tiger.
Crouching Tiger Arhat: Σ(°△°|||)︴
He stiffened, hurriedly clasped his hands and saluted, and said with a dry smile: "Amitabha, I am a poor monk who is studying directing and does not understand screenwriting."
The Buddhas immediately looked away with disappointment.
The Tathagata at the head of the throne sighed softly, "In three days, our Lingshan TV station will be completed, but now there is only one lecture program, which is far from comparable to the Heavenly Court, let alone the Black Wind Mountain TV station."
"What should I do?"
After hearing Tathagata's words, the Buddhas were silent. Apparently they didn't know how to solve this problem.
"Buddha!"
At this time, the Dharma Protector Vajrashara outside the hall hurriedly entered the hall.
Tathagata Buddha raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
Victory Vajra bowed and saluted, and immediately replied: "For the record, Buddha, Du Fei, the Demon King of Black Wind Mountain, is here to visit and is waiting outside the hall."
"Bear demon?"
"Why did he come to Lingshan?"
"I do not know either."
"Are you here to ask for payment for building a TV station?"
"But isn't the TV station not finished yet?"
Upon hearing the news of Du Fei's visit, the first-class Arhats and Bodhisattvas in the palace whispered to each other with doubts on their faces.
"Who did he come with?" Tathagata asked.
The victorious Vajra stood upright and said, "Return to my Buddha, he is the only one."
Tathagata was really surprised now.
The relationship between Du Fei and Buddhism has always been on bad terms, although last time it was Zhunti who led the two Buddhas to personally come forward to resolve the feud between the two parties, and also reached a cooperation to help Buddhism build a TV station.
But this is far from the level of visiting each other.
Not to mention that Du Fei was still alone and went to Xitian Leiyin Temple to visit them.
"Invite him in." After thinking for a moment, Tathagata said.
"Yes, Buddha!"
…
"Du Fei came uninvited. Please forgive me, Tathagata Buddha!"
Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.
Accompanied by the laughter coming from outside the hall, Du Fei's figure walked into the hall. He glanced at the monks on both sides and said in surprise: "Ah, you are having a meeting. I came at a bad time?"
A polite smile appeared on Tathagata's face, "The demon king has overthought it. All the Buddhas are here. It's just a coincidence."
The Tathagata naturally understands that Du Fei is a disciple of Taiqing.
Therefore, the superficial politeness still needs to be maintained.
"Oh, I see……"
Du Fei raised his eyes and glanced at the mid-air screen where the ending song of "Journey to the East" was playing, and the sound lengthened.
What you say is just the right time.
It turns out you are gathering here to watch a movie.
Tathagata also immediately came to his senses and quickly waved his hand to disperse the magic mirror screen.
"Ahem."
He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and then changed the subject: "The demon king is here at Lingshan. What do you mean? The construction of the TV station will take three days, and it's not the day to collect the payment, right?"
Du Fei smiled and said, "Of course I didn't come to Lingshan to collect payment, but the purpose of this trip is related to the TV station."
"oh?"
Tathagata suddenly became curious and said, "Please tell me clearly, Demon King."
Du Fei then raised his brows and said with a hint of teasing in his tone, "If my guess is correct, Lingshan TV Station will be completed soon. Buddhists should be worried about preparing some programs right now, right?"
Tathagata instinctively wanted to deny it, but before he could speak, Du Fei raised his hand first, interrupting his movement.
"Tathagata Buddha, we speak quickly and without making any detours."
He said aloud: "Just get straight to the point."
"I have a script for a TV series that I want to co-produce with Buddhism. I wonder if you are interested?"
As soon as this statement came out.
The monks in the hall were immediately stunned.
Even Tathagata Buddha, who had been maintaining a meditative state of mind, opened his eyes wide, and his seated body tilted forward involuntarily, all showing his inner surprise and disbelief.
Don't blame them for being shocked.
Instead, someone gave him a pillow right after he dozed off, and the person who gave him the pillow was an opponent who had a life-and-death feud. Who could not be shocked?
"Demon King, are you telling the truth?!"
Tathagata couldn't help but ask.
Du Fei spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, "Haha, does Buddha think I'm the kind of person who comes here to make a joke?"
"Of course it's true about cooperating in filming a TV series."
After receiving Du Fei's affirmative answer, he remained silent all the time. The Arhats and Bodhisattvas who were watching the show finally couldn't calm down anymore.
Because he suffered a lot at Du Fei's hands, Guanyin Bodhisattva, who had always been very wary of him, was the first to speak: "Amitabha, the demon king should not joke around with the poor monk."
"You just collaborated with Tian Ting on "Journey to the East", and now we have a close relationship."
"And Heaven and our Buddhist sect are in a competitive relationship."
"This is well known to the three realms!"
"How can you take the initiative to cooperate with my Buddhist sect? Are you just a poor monk and a fool?"
After Guanyin finished speaking, the monks who were still a little secretly happy immediately came back to their senses and looked at Du Fei once again with scrutiny and caution.
Guanyin Bodhisattva is right.
This bear demon has repeatedly opposed Buddhism and discredited them.
How is it possible to give such a big gift?
There must be some fraud in this!
