Tathagata is sitting on the lotus platform and coaxing the child.
At this moment, he also showed a look of surprise, "That's right. Red Boy followed the pilgrims on the road, so the news we released earlier will be self-defeating."
Jiang Long nodded. He had released the false news that the pilgrims had killed Hong Hai'er in the Fire Cloud Cave.
As for the plot against the scorpion spirit, Jiang Long did it according to Tathagata's ideas.
Previously, the Tathagata found the Scorpion Spirit and asked her to go down to the lower world to create a disaster for Buddhist scripture seekers, promising the Bodhisattva status, and the Scorpion Spirit happily accepted it.
Who knew that Tathagata had stung him once before from the scorpion spirit, and he had always been resentful about it.
He sent the scorpion spirit down to the lower world just to take the opportunity to kill it.
Only Scorpion was kept in the dark about this matter.
Jianglong thought that as long as he acted pessimistically and proved that he had tried his best, Buddha would not blame him.
But he was wrong.
After Tathagata was stunned for a moment, he jumped off the lotus platform and hit the smooth and shiny head of Arhat Subduing the Dragon with a bang.
"Ah...hiss..."
Jianglong immediately held his head, his face showing a ferocious look of pain.
"Buddha, I...why?" Jianglong was dumbfounded.
He was too familiar with this scene. King Ksitigarbha was treated like this because he made a mistake about the reincarnation path of Lingji Bodhisattva.
Now, I finally tasted this bitter pill.
Tathagata stared at him and said with a fierce expression: "Can't Red Boy complete the catastrophe if he is alive? What do you do with such a big head? Why can't you move it?"
"Buddha, I really don't know what to do."
Jiang Long burst into tears immediately, and all the Buddhas around him seemed not to notice, with expressions as if it had nothing to do with them.
"You say you have a pig brain, but you really have a pig brain. If we can't use Red Boy to attract hatred to the pilgrims, can't we use other methods to attract hatred?"
"You feel like the disaster is over and you don't know how to save it, so you come back in despair?"
"If it were me, if this happened, I would naturally spread the news that eating Tang Monk's meat would lead to immortality. I don't believe that Princess Iron Fan is not tempted?"
Tathagata kicked Jianglong to the ground and cursed fiercely.
Hearing this, Jiang Long seemed to have a sudden flash of inspiration in his mind, "Hey, why didn't I think of that? Buddha deserves to be Buddha. This is why he can be Buddha and I cannot be Buddha."
Jianglong was also learning his lesson seriously, forgetting the pain coming from his body for a moment.
In his eyes, everything the Buddha said made sense.
However, Tathagata didn't think so. He glanced at the Buddhas with a fierce look on his face.
"What's happening to my Lingshan Mountain now? There are thousands of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but not even one of them is useful. It seems that if I don't kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, you can only watch the show there."
The Tathagata turned around and walked up the lotus platform step by step, looking at the Buddhas and continued: "For the prosperity of our Buddhism, from today on, we will establish a reward and punishment system. Merits will be rewarded and mistakes will be punished, so as to increase your enthusiasm and participation."
Although there were rewards and punishments before, they were only verbal promises.
Now, Tathagata is serious about setting up a system and using clear rules to manage Lingshan.
Otherwise, all Buddhas will be too Buddhist, and Buddhism will be finished sooner or later.
As soon as these words came out, the entire Daleiyin Temple was in an uproar. Is the Buddha going to reform again?
Tathagata looked at Jianglong below, as if he was ready to operate with Jianglong.
So he said calmly: "Lohan Subduing the Dragon, in the process of being responsible for the catastrophe of Journey to the West, you acted recklessly and irresponsibly, causing the disaster to fail. I want to punish you, are you willing to accept it?"
"Punishment?" Jiang Long was shocked. Wasn't he punished just now?
However, when he thought about the brain breakdown he had just suffered, although it was painful, it would be over if he endured it for a while. Jianglong naturally did not want to make Buddha unhappy at this moment, so he nodded repeatedly.
"Well, I will punish you in the lower world and experience calamity. You can jump down by yourself." Tathagata said coldly.
"What?"
Jiang Long was immediately confused.
This time it is not a simple corporal punishment that will pass if you tolerate it, but a real punishment from the root.
No matter how stupid he is, he can understand what Buddha said.
Just to demote him to the lower realm.
"Buddha, I don't want it, I don't want this kind of punishment." Jiang Long panicked immediately.
Being demoted to the lower realm is no joke.
After the lower realm, there is no magic power, nothing, just like a mortal. If you don't even have any skills, you will probably starve to death on the streets.
"Humph, you don't want it if you say you don't want it?"
The Tathagata said ferociously that he had made up his mind to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, so it was inevitable to banish the dragon to the lower realm.
"No, I don't want to go to the lower world. Lord Buddha, please spare me."
Jianglong knelt down and kowtowed.
"Noisy." Tathagata frowned and immediately extended a palm.
boom!
Immediately, a huge Buddha's handprint flew out, and with one move of Tathagata's divine palm, he directly knocked the Dragon Subduing Arhat out of the Lingshan Mountain.
This palm was so powerful that Jianglong's physical body was instantly shattered, and his soul coincidentally fell into a wealthy family who was about to give birth.
This wealthy family is none other than Li Mansion.
Seeing Jiang Long being beaten out, all the Buddhas in Lingshan were trembling with fear.
This is not a reward and punishment system, it is clearly an escalation of punishment.
Along the way, they practiced Buddhism and went through many difficulties and dangers. In the end, they were sent to liberation by the palm of the Tathagata. Who wouldn't be afraid of this?
"Pass it to Ananda and Kassapa." Tathagata said immediately, not caring about so many things.
Soon, a Buddha ran to the Sutra Pavilion and sent a message to Ananda and Kasyapa.
Ananda and Kassapa were writing scriptures, and when they heard the news, they rushed over and bowed to the Tathagata.
"Ananda Kassapa, how are you doing in writing the Tipitaka?" Tathagata asked.
Ananda recited a Buddha's name and said: "I have revealed to the Buddha that all the 15,144 volumes of sutras have been compiled in the early stages and are currently being revised and supplemented in the later stages."
The Tathagata nodded, and then said: "The pilgrims are still a long way from the Western Heaven. You can put this matter aside for the time being and compile a system of rewards and punishments for the Great Leiyin Temple. This seat will be hung in the Main Hall by then. , so that all Buddhas can see it every day.”
Tathagata commanded.
Ananda and Kasyapa looked at each other, then bowed and said, "I will obey the Buddha's decree."
"Go ahead."
The two of them retreated and went back to the Sutra Pavilion to fish.
"Well, the next disaster is the Jisai Kingdom. Who should be responsible?" Tathagata began to make calculations in his mind and looked down again.
But after looking for a long time, I still couldn't find a suitable candidate.
At this moment, Tathagata felt a little sad. He looked at the horizon and sighed secretly.
"Guanyin, where are you now? Damn, you haven't been back for so long."
As a result, as he looked at it, two figures appeared in front of him.
As we got closer, it turned out to be Ran Deng and Maitreya.
Previously Tathagata was called up by the saint to be beaten, and then came back, and Ran Deng and Maitreya were called up again.
Tathagata guessed that these two people had nothing to do all day long, and no matter what the saint asked them to do, they would inevitably be beaten.
Ran Deng is pitiful and has been beaten too many times.
As expected, when the two of them landed in the Great Hall, they immediately attracted countless pairs of eyes.
But of the two of them, one was safe and sound, but the other looked like a pig's head.
