Tang Monk is simple and cannot think as thoughtfully as Manjusri and Samantabhadra.
He was also afraid of being blamed by Buddhism for collecting 30,000 monkeys at once.
Moreover, the previous recruitment of Sun Sheng and Ao Lie was authorized by Guanyin.
He didn't dare to recruit disciples privately.
If he were to make the decision, he would probably be very likely to reject Sun Sheng.
Of course, that's a euphemism.
To put it more honestly, it can only be described in three words: "cowardly".
Just because Manjusri and Samantabhadra knew that Tang Seng was timid, they had to step forward and make the decision for Tang Seng this time.
"Amitabha."
"Why hesitate with such a good opportunity."
"Tang Monk, you should accept these monkey spirits to show the world our Buddhist determination to save all sentient beings!"
The sound of Mi Mi comes from the Nine Heavens.
After the voice fell, Manjusri and Samantabhadra slowly appeared.
"Every time these experts appear on the stage, they have to follow the routine of hearing their voices first and then seeing their people again."
"If you don't do this, you won't be able to show how awesome you are, right?"
Sun Sheng complained secretly.
He doesn't do this.
But Tang Monk eats it!
Seeing Manjusri and Samantabhadra arriving, Tang Monk's expression immediately became extremely respectful.
Kneeling on a pair of knees is called a proficiency!
"Disciples, please obey the Bodhisattva's decree!"
The confusion on Tang Seng's face disappeared.
The Bodhisattva has already spoken, so of course he has no objection.
And with his little mind, he certainly couldn't imagine how much of a sensation it would cause to bring this team out of Tianzhu in the future.
Anyway, as long as the Bodhisattva says it, he will do it. Even if it is wrong, it is still right!
Tang Seng’s answer.
Manjusri, Samantabhadra and Sun Sheng all had no reaction.
After all, it was within their expectations.
However, Manjusri and Samantabhadra did not intend to let go of the people who caused problems for Buddhism so easily.
"Monkey!"
"Do you know your guilt?!"
Puxian suddenly scolded in a stern voice.
Don't ask about the reason, don't ask about the cause and effect, just show off your power first.
It's a useful trick for those in power.
However, in most cases, this question will leave the person being asked confused.
At least you have to rack your brains to think about where you went wrong.
But, is Sun Sheng an ordinary person? !
"I, Sun, know the crime."
Sun Sheng nodded, admitting his mistake on the spot without even the slightest hesitation.
"At this point, you don't even know where you went wrong...wait, what did you say?!"
"You realize your mistake?!"
Pu Xian blinked and looked at Sun Sheng in disbelief.
Why doesn't this monkey play his cards according to the routine?
"Of course I, Old Sun, know I was wrong."
"I am also too impatient."
"It is indeed a good thing to convert monkeys and monkeys to Buddhism, but it does not take into account how they will survive in the future."
"Thirty thousand monkeys have to eat, drink, and defecate every day, and their psychological development needs to be ensured."
"After all, the journey to the West is long and full of hardships and dangers."
"If we cannot meet their personal needs in time, I am afraid that we will not be able to make them sincerely worship the Buddha."
"Even if you become an ascetic, you can't starve to death."
"What if all 30,000 monkeys escape before reaching Tianzhu? How will the sentient beings in the three realms think about it?"
"They will say that even the disciples of the weird Buddhist sect cannot be retained, and those lay disciples who are wholeheartedly converting may have even less confidence!"
"This will be a huge blow to my Buddhist reputation!"
Sun Sheng said with a sad look on his face.
After this talk, the scene was quiet for a long time.
Manjusri and Samantabhadra stood there as if they were petrified.
He didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The words "psychological construction" sound very strange to them.
But it's not difficult to understand.
When marching and fighting, soldiers still need to boost their morale.
The journey to the West will take at least ten years to end.
Everywhere he went, there were monsters and monsters.
Fighting is inevitable.
These monkeys are bound to suffer from psychological problems.
But the problem is that Manjushri and Samantabhadra are two of the four bodhisattvas in Buddhism.
Prominent status.
Are they required to go down to earth from time to time to provide psychological counseling to these monkey spirits? !
besides.
The cultivation level of these 30,000 monkeys is not high, and they still need to eat every day.
Where can they get so much food? !
If you have nothing to do, come here and deliver a large amount of food. Then aren’t Manjusri and Samantabhadra the chief ministers? !
"This matter... needs long-term consideration."
"correct."
"Aren't your masters and disciples going to be in seclusion for five years?!"
"Like those hundred musicians, we can build a village near the Liusha River."
“Teach these monkeys to farm and be self-sufficient.”
“If there is any surplus, it can be consumed on the road after five years.”
"If it's not enough, I'll help you find a way!"
Manjusri came up with this rhetoric out of desperation and barely managed to muddle through.
However, he and Puxian also knew it.
As long as we take these 30,000 monkeys on the road, the problem cannot be solved.
After all, after more than ten years of traveling, even if the food is not used up, it will have rotted long ago.
"What if I, the old grandson, teach monkeys the art of becoming immortals?!"
"As long as you enter the realm of Bigu-free, the problem will be solved!"
"It's a pity that my old grandson doesn't have that many elixirs and fruits."
"Bodhisattva might as well give me some."
"Not much, just 30,000 Nine-turn Golden Pills, or 30,000 flat peaches."
"We are not picky eaters!"
Sun Shengle said cheerfully.
Thirty thousand nine-turn golden elixirs? !
Thirty thousand flat peaches? !
Why don't you go and grab it!
Manjusri and Samantabhadra were very angry.
They finally understood that Sun Sheng was blackmailing someone.
If you follow Sun Sheng, it will make Buddhism, which is already not wealthy, even worse.
Before, in order to resurrect Tang Monk.
Guanyin gave up ten innate spiritual treasures in exchange for ten nine-turn golden elixirs with Taishang Laojun.
Even if Buddhism empties its family resources, it still can’t produce thirty thousand innate spiritual treasures!
"No."
"If you want it, go and ask Taishang Laojun for it yourself!"
Manjusri said a few words and wanted to run away with Samantabhadra.
"also."
"Before, Taishang Laojun promised me, Old Sun, that he would sell a batch of Nine Turns Golden Pills to me."
"It seems that one acquired meritorious treasure can be exchanged for five elixirs."
"It's a pity that I have returned the Golden Cudgel to Donghai, otherwise I could have exchanged it for five elixirs."
Sun Sheng shook his head and sighed.
There seems to be some regret.
But these words reached the ears of Manjusri and Samantabhadra.
It was like pie falling from the sky, and they immediately stopped in their tracks.
"Is this true?!"
Manjusri looked at Sun Sheng suspiciously and asked.
"Of course it's true."
"If the Bodhisattva doesn't believe it, lend me a treasure."
"If you can't redeem it, you can leave it to the Bodhisattva!"
Sun Sheng assuredly patted his chest and promised.
Seeing how confident he was, Manjusri and Samantabhadra couldn't help but feel moved.
It's just a spiritual treasure of acquired merit, even if it's gone, I won't feel bad at all.
But if you can really get five elixirs, it will be a bloody profit.
They can show off to Guanyin later.
Manjusri and Samantabhadra grinned excitedly at the thought of Guanyin's angry face.
"This is a jade Buddha bead. I can lend it to you."
"If it is true as you said, I will give you a few more treasures to exchange for the elixir."
"If you exchange more in the future, I might be able to help you realize your wish!"
