"Ah?" The five masters and disciples of Xuanyan were dumbfounded after hearing this. They never expected that this matter would be so big that even the Buddha would be alarmed.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva sighed: "I am wronging you at this time. I, Buddha Tathagata, have gone to heaven to seek an audience with the Jade Emperor. As long as the Jade Emperor orders Kui Mu Lang to return to heaven, this calamity will be over."
Sun Houhou curled his lips, "What about Fatty?"
"Amitabha!" The three great Bodhisattvas looked at each other, shook their heads together and announced the Buddha's name, and then dodged together.
Xuan Yan, Sun Houhou, Xiao Bailong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng were all left in the palace together.
They can't leave. Once they leave, they will be chased by the coach.
Kui Mulang snorted coldly and sent people to arrest Xuan Yan and others.
"Not bowing before you is a capital offense. However, you, master and disciple, are protected by the willow leaves of Guanyin Bodhisattva and protected by the golden light of Buddhism by Manjushri and Samantabhadra. I can't do anything to you here."
"Just using force in the palace is the crime of punishing the nine clans."
"Publish my decree because Xuan Yan, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the third prince of the Dragon Palace of the West Sea did not worship the king when they came to the palace. They insulted the king in the palace, and even intended to kill the king."
"From today on, all monks in the territory of Baoxiang Kingdom will voluntarily return to secular life."
"If you are unwilling to return to secular life and insist on being a monk, then you are a member of the Xuanyan clan and can be sent to various places to build roads and work."
Xuan Yan's mouth was full of bitterness, "Amitabha!"
Kuimulang continued, "It is my decree that all temples be demolished and all Buddha statues destroyed and melted."
"The temple land, mountains and forests are leased to civilians who have returned to secular life, as well as to surrounding civilians."
"This monk spoke plausibly, saying that monks do not worship kings, but only worship Buddha."
"This kind of fallacy and heresy about having no regard for the emperor must have been learned from Buddhist scriptures. Even so, don't blame me for being rude. Such ideas are far-reaching and poisonous and must not be allowed to remain."
"Baoxiang Kingdom will not allow the printing of Buddhist scriptures from now on, and all Buddhist scriptures will be burned."
"Amitabha!" Xuan Yan had nothing to say.
Kuimulang continued, "Those who voluntarily hand over the scrolls will be exempted from labor service for one year based on one household."
"Those who hide Buddhist scriptures privately will have their entire family guilty of the same crime as the monks."
"Reporters will be rewarded, and one household will be exempted from one year of hard labor."
"There is also this monkey. All monkeys should be driven out of our Baoxiang Kingdom. Those who cannot be driven away will be killed on the spot!"
"What a shame, just wait, I, the old grandson, will go out... Wuwu..." Sunhou Hou was choked by the willow leaves and was speechless.
This is obviously the result of Guanyin Bodhisattva's magic to seal his mouth, so as to prevent disaster from coming out of his mouth, and the cause and effect will become bigger and bigger.
Kui Mulang sneered, "Humph, hit me? You really think I'm easy to bully!"
"Xuan Yan, these debts are all caused by you, master and disciple, and they will naturally be shouldered by you!"
"If Buddhism wants to protect you, it has to bear the karma, and it falls on the monks and ape-like monsters."
"The so-called true man is one who does things and is responsible for others, but there are always things that you can't bear, so just endure it and see how long you can endure it."
"Tie them up like this at the top of the city and let everyone in the world know that for the sake of the future prosperity of Buddhism, the Buddhas of Buddhism abandoned them without asking whether the current monks agreed."
"And this monkey has never thought about the demon at all. He is not worthy of being the demon king at all. He is only worthy of being a lackey of Buddhism!"
Monkey Sun was so angry that his eyes were red, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free, and he couldn't say a word.
In the distance, Guanyin Bodhisattva pronounced the name of the Buddha and simply knocked Monkey unconscious.
Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva also followed suit. While proclaiming the Buddha's name, they also knocked out Xuanyan, Xiaobailong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng, causing them to fall into a state of tortoise breath.
…
Biyou Palace.
As he expected, Zhunti Buddha was rejected, and he was not upset. He bluntly said that he would exchange cause and effect, and then he meditated outside the mountain gate and waited.
Heaven.
Tathagata Buddha arrived at the Nantian Gate, but was told that the Jade Emperor had gone to patrol the sky. He had not been in the Lingxiao Palace for the past few days, so he could not receive him.
Tathagata Buddha knew that this was deliberately to embarrass him and embarrass Buddhism, in order to regain the dignity he had lost before.
Tathagata Buddha tried to calculate, but couldn't figure it out. Knowing that the Jade Emperor deliberately disturbed him, he gave up taking this path.
It would be too embarrassing to go back like this, and it would be even worse to wait. So I had an idea and went to see Emperor Ziwei instead, and invited him in this time.
…
Ziwei Imperial Palace.
Emperor Ziwei didn't know why Tathagata Buddha came, and he didn't even come up with any tricks to receive him.
After Zuo Fu and You Bi's calculations, they couldn't figure out the Tathagata's intention.
I wanted to find a smart person to ask, so I thought of Princess Yanyu, and also the things in the world.
It was immediately clear that what Buddhism should be paying attention to at this time was the matter of Master Xuan Yan.
If the Tathagata Buddha comes to heaven, it can only be because the matter involves heaven.
It's just that Emperor Ziwei doesn't care about things, so the one who should be looking for him should be the Jade Emperor.
I asked someone to inquire and heard that the Jade Emperor was not in the Heavenly Palace and was out on inspection.
The two suddenly realized that Tathagata Buddha was not as good as the Jade Emperor, but they did not want to go back like this and had no steps to go down, so they used the noble enough Emperor Ziwei as a step.
By the way, let's see if we can stimulate the Jade Emperor back.
After all, what the Jade Emperor is most worried about is the reputation of Emperor Ziwei. Tathagata Buddha's public visit to Emperor Ziwei like this is like stabbing the Jade Emperor in the back with a knife.
However, Tathagata's move was of no benefit to Emperor Ziwei. Emperor Ziwei could not drive him away, so he could only hold his nose to accompany the guests, and had to be used.
The two of them were a little annoyed. Although there was cause and effect, the approach was somewhat kind.
After thinking about it, he went to Princess Jingqing's father and asked him to use the blood induction technique to inform Princess Jingqing to find Zhou Yanyu.
This technique is to make a magic incense with the blood of a close relative, and then burn the incense and pray.
…
In the human world, the Uth Tibetan Kingdom, the headquarters of the Bone Temple.
Princess Jingqing, who was processing official documents, received the summons and immediately went outside to find Zhou Yanyu. She drank tea with Li Yingqiong on the mountain, played chess, admired flowers, and looked at the scenery.
While listening, Zhou Yanyu communicated heart to heart through the magic weapon and relayed the information to Yamazaki word for word.
Yamazaki chuckled after hearing this, "I didn't expect that the living Buddha is also quite smooth. Sure enough, the fat man's belly is not full of oil and water."
Zhou Yanyu smiled and said: "That's true, but let's quickly tell you how to solve it. We're waiting!"
Yamazaki shook his head, "There is no solution to this matter. It all depends on the Jade Emperor's choice. In the end, looking at the results, it is all a matter of cause and effect."
"That's all I said," Zhou Yanyu asked, "By the way, what's going on over there in Baoxiangguo?"
Yamazaki summarized: "From the battle between demons and Buddhas in Wusuzang Kingdom, it was promoted to the battle between Taoism and Buddhism, starting with Jiejiao, who is involved in the demonic way."
"Buddhism is in the west. Kuimulang has twenty-eight constellations, and the white tiger in the west ranks first among the seven constellations. It is just right to descend to earth to meet the calamity."
"He is now the king of Baoxiang Kingdom. He followed the example of the Great Shang Dynasty and expanded his territory to tens of thousands of miles. He implemented benevolent policies internally and allowed monsters and humans to coexist. He did not discriminate against Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. He is a heroic hero with a virtuous reputation. host."
"Whether Xuan Yan is a monk or not, he is just a common man. Even if he has good relations with the leader of Uzang Kingdom, in Baoxiang Kingdom, he is just a common man."
"The same goes for his disciples. No matter what their previous identities were, they are all ordinary people in Baoxiang Kingdom."
