On top of Yinshan Mountain, a monk with a charitable face, bald head, wearing a Vairocana crown, and cassocks was sitting on Yinshan Mountain, reading scriptures... Beside him, a snow-white thing that looked like a lion or a dog was lying on the ground. , shaking his head as if he could understand, very cute...
"I heard this. For a time, the Buddha was in the Trayasa Heaven, teaching the Dharma for his mother. At that time, there were all the indescribable Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas in the immeasurable worlds of the ten directions..."
Listening to the scriptures recited by Ksitigarbha, Di Xin felt bored, especially with the unique rhythm and the sound of the wooden fish...
"Okay, let's just read the opening chapter. Who should I read it to?"
Buddhist scriptures usually begin with "This is what I heard." Even if Di Xin doesn't understand, he still knows the opening words of all Buddhist scriptures...
As if Ksitigarbha had just been awakened, the scriptures came to an abrupt end, the first ray of light on his body suddenly disappeared, and he stood up and saluted...
"Ksitigarbha did not know that His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven was coming, and I missed him from afar. I hope you will forgive me!"
Ji Zang stood up and bowed, showing no displeasure at all when Di Xin exposed him.
The corner of Di Xin's mouth twitched, pretending that you are the first!
Looking at Ksitigarbha's compassionate face, Di Xin didn't feel any respect at all... he just felt bored! In my mind, I recalled countless Buddhist and Taoist comments from my previous life.
[In the prosperous times, Buddhism flourished, and the Daomen Mountain was hidden. In troubled times, the Bodhisattva did not appear, and the old man carried his sword to save the common people... To be honest, I don't blame me for being biased. It is true that you, the Buddha, are so unpopular. 】
[Sealing the gods to measure calamity, all you can do is create chaos... You didn't even help the underworld at that time, but now it's about to prosper, and you Ksitigarbha are here...]
[If it weren’t for the system compensation mission that insists on helping you with Buddhism, Gu Zhen would like to kick you out of the underworld! 】
Although the mission is to help Buddhism, Di Xin, as a college student in his previous life, was rebellious... Even if he wanted to help, he would never give the other party any good looks!
"Tell me about it."
Di Xin looked around, found a stone to sit down, spread his legs, and didn't care about his image... Xuan Ming and Ming He's eyes lit up, and they also found a place to sit down. They all looked like Di Xin, as if It’s normal to negotiate in a mixed society...
"Ksitigarbha, what is your purpose in coming here?!"
"Your Majesty, Buddhism is compassionate..."
Ksitigarbha subconsciously wanted to say a string of Buddhist words...
"stop!"
Di Xin stretched out his hand to stop Ksitigarbha: "It's not like I've been dealing with you Buddhists for a day or two. When Nuwa's palace offered incense, you saints took advantage of me. You Westerners were still here back then. Western teachings only have that kind of virtue, don’t talk about compassion!”
"Your Majesty, you may have misunderstood..."
Ksitigarbha did not expect that what his teacher Zhunti had done back then would have been known to Di Xin. His face turned red and he wanted to explain...
"Stop! I said, you don't need to use those high-sounding words. I can control the three realms, and I am not a novice. To be honest, don't be pretentious, I don't have that much time to waste with you!"
Di Xin interrupted Ksitigarbha again...
"Your Majesty, you really have a misunderstanding about Buddhism..."
"If you don't say anything, will I leave?" Di Xin stood up and wanted to leave: "Great Emperor, since Buddhism refuses to open its heart, what should we do in Yinshan? Just follow the rules of the land!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the underworld is not a vegetarian, and it will definitely not disappoint the heaven."
Xuan Ming agreed and stood up with his knees propped up...
"Hey, Your Majesty, why are you doing this?"
Ji Zang sighed, and his expression returned to normal... Similarly, like Di Xin, he sat down on the ground with his legs spread out, not cross-legged, and no longer looked solemn... Well, he rubbed his hands as if they were beside him. Listening like a white lion, like a big boss negotiating.
"Wouldn't it be better for everyone to play a little bit of prowess and language arts?"
"Oh, are you willing to tell the truth? Why do you think I have time to talk nonsense to you?"
Di Xin rolled his eyes and sat down again... Xuan Ming also understood, sat down again, and together with Ming He, guarded Di Xin on the left and right. Behind him, Long Ji recorded, the roller-shutter general was holding a crescent shovel and standing behind Di Xin like a bodyguard.
Hmm... Secretary, bodyguard, double red stick, momentum, it is absolutely full of excitement!
"Tell me, what does Buddhism want to do?"
"Since His Majesty wants to talk freely, Ksitigarbha is not suitable to talk to His Majesty."
Ksitigarbha didn't waste any time and turned his head to the side of the evil spirit: "Buddha, please show up."
"Your Majesty, long time no see, you are still looking so heroic!"
As Ksitigarbha's voice fell, an evil spirit stood up and walked to sit in front of Ksitigarbha... As he moved, his figure gradually changed, and not long after, he turned into the chubby Tathagata that Di Xin was familiar with!
Oh, by the way, he was still a little disappointed that he didn’t have a full head!
"Tathagata."
Di Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, not surprised... He was ready to find out the true purpose of Buddhism this time. It was expected that he could see Tathagata.
"Well, it's better if you come! Tell me, what are your plans?"
"Don't talk about coming to help the underworld and relieve the pressure of evil spirits... With Queen Pingxin sitting in charge, if there are twice as many evil spirits and ghosts, the underworld will not be in chaos. Let's get down to business!"
Di Xin waved his hand and said impatiently.
"I haven't seen you for many years, Your Majesty, you are still so resolute. No wonder the great merchant was finally able to successfully conquer the heaven, drive out the demon king, and achieve the supreme position."
The Tathagata patted Di Xin's horse... Little did he know that being the Heavenly Emperor was not Di Xin's dream... This slap on the horse's leg made Di Xin even more annoyed!
"Let's get down to business!"
"Okay." Tathagata didn't know why Di Xin became more and more annoyed, so he stopped talking nonsense and spoke frankly about the origin!
"Fifteen hundred years are approaching, and a calamity is about to come. Your Majesty, don't you know this?"
"Um?"
Di Xin snorted slightly and didn't answer, just looked at him.
Seeing that Emperor Xin was pretending to be stupid, Tathagata simply put it aside and said: "The way of heaven once said that Buddhism should measure the calamity... The protagonists of this calamity, if there is no mistake, should be Buddhism and the devil. Can your majesty admit it?"
"Um……"
Di Xin did not refute, but nodded in approval.
The Tathagata's smile became brighter: "There are two people in the Demon Dao who are in the combined Dao realm, namely Demon Ancestor Luohu, Demon Lord Hongjun, and there is a Demon Saint Primordial... Although there are earth and human beings to help each other, the combat power of the two empresses is not enough." , may not be able to bring peace to those who follow the path of evil..."
"Coupled with the fact that there are original demon saints and countless saints from the demon path...Buddhism, as the protagonist of the calamity, is under a lot of pressure!"
"Don't worry, measuring the tribulation is a major event in the entire ancient world, and the devil's ambitions have long been exposed... After the tribulation begins, neither heaven nor all races will stand idly by."
Di Xin responded calmly.
"But how much support will it provide? For example, the Conferring God Tribulation that you just participated in. In the beginning, wasn't it you and Dashang who supported it alone?"
The Tathagata looked at Di Xin with a half-smile, and took the calamity he had just experienced as an example: "If you weren't good enough and Dashang was good enough, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to withstand even one round of attacks from Chanjiao; let alone expose the devil. Respect your identity and attract three ways of support!"
Di Xin fell into silence... As a participant in the Conferred Gods, he knew better than anyone what the real history was!
The real history, in the Conferred Gods, even if the Great Shang had the full support of Jiejiao, it would still be a failure... The calamity of Buddhas and Demons, according to the original history, Buddhism, plus Heaven, almost fell!
And the current demonic path is an enhanced version! There is Hongjun and there is the Demon Saint! And today’s Buddhism is weaker than the original Buddhism in history!
Not to mention, the cultivation level of the four great Bodhisattvas alone has dropped by more than one level! He was resurrected from the dead and practiced again. It is said that he is still in the early stage of Da Luo! No, Guanyin may not even have Daluo!
In the original history, the four great Bodhisattvas practiced both Buddhism and Taoism, and their cultivation levels were quasi-sage!
(PS: This is not a random guess! Avalokitesvara has three thousand incarnations, but Daluo alone may not be able to do it!)
"What do you want?"
After a long time, Di Xin finally spoke... Hey, you can't let others stand in front of you but don't give them any benefits, right?
"The Two Saints of the West once calculated the opportunity for Buddhism to prosper... When there is a team traveling to the west, Buddhism will spread eastward and build momentum for Buddhism! I need the cooperation of heaven and even hell!"
Di Xin subconsciously thought of the scene in the TV series where the Jade Emperor rolled down on the table and shouted to invite the Tathagata Buddha... his face instantly darkened!
"Do you want me to lose face and build momentum for Buddhism? Then do you want me to lie on the ground and shout to the West to invite Tathagata Buddha?"
Di Xin's voice sank, extremely unkind!
"Don't dare!"
Tathagata was shocked and hurriedly explained... Are you kidding? In today's heaven, even the four emperors are saints, and they are all subordinates of the Emperor of Heaven... How could he have the courage to let the Emperor of Heaven embarrass himself and invite Tathagata!
"Your Majesty, I just want one person from the Journey to the West team to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace. Don't worry, he is just outside and will never dare to enter the Lingxiao Palace!"
"Hmph! I thought you, a Buddhist, really dared to let me turn against you!"
Di Xin snorted coldly and said: "I agree to the trouble in the Heavenly Palace! But as you said, it can only be on the periphery, and it must not interfere with the important officials of the Heavenly Court in governing the three realms!"
"Of course! Just on the outside, just make a name for yourself!"
Tathagata nodded quickly and secretly wiped his cold sweat... NND, it's so damn scary!
"Where's the underworld?"
At this time, Xuan Ming, the emperor of Fengdu next to him, snorted coldly: "If you dare to make trouble in heaven, will you also make trouble in the underworld?"
"Uh..." The cold sweat that Tathagata had just wiped off flowed out again... However, for the sake of the great prosperity of Buddhism and for his path to enlightenment, he had to say: "Let's make a small fuss and limit it to the Yama Hall. Can you ?”
"The Palace of Yama..."
Xuan Ming thought about it for a while. It seemed like the hall where Fifth Brother Gonggong lived? Oh, that’s okay!
"Yes! But you can only bring shame on King Yama. You are not allowed to kill souls, and you are not allowed to interfere with the normal operation of the underworld. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
How could the Tathagata be so happy that he could bring shame on King Yama? This was completely beyond his expectation! With joy in his heart, he tentatively tried to push further: "Can we kill a few more? Of course, they are definitely not good souls. The underworld can then arrange for the damn evil souls..."
"Great Emperor, let's consider it as compensation for the protagonist of the calamity."
Di Xin said something helpful. Indeed, if Brother Monkey wants to become the Monkey King, he must do something earth-shattering!
"For the sake of the Emperor of Heaven, I will give you this opportunity. However, it will only be near the Yama Hall!"
"It's a deal!"
Tathagata quickly settled the matter... As for other things, compared with making trouble in the underworld and making trouble in heaven, they are all small problems!
"Besides these two things, do you have any other needs?"
Tathagata thought about it... Just asking for it might offend people... Forget it, the benefits that should be handed over must still be handed over!
"The Westward Journey team will face ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties... half of them, Buddhism will only take half... the forty difficulties will all be decided by heaven!"
Di Xin raised his eyebrows, this guy is quite sensible!
According to the original disaster, there were far fewer disasters in Heaven. At most, it was just a few disasters... By the way, there is also the Journey to the West team!
"Journey to the West team, I want three people!" Di Xin thought for a while, but he was still unhappy that just helping would ruin his little merit.
"Can!"
Tathagata didn't even think about it and agreed: "However, these three people will also face the main force of measuring the tribulation! Only after measuring the tribulation can they return to heaven!"
"good!"
Di Xin nodded... At this point, Heavenly Court and Buddhism have agreed on the matter of traveling to the west!
"Okay, now that it has been decided, the Buddhist sect can come to Heaven to decide on the specific disaster matters. I will leave first!"
After getting three places in the Westward Journey team and half of the disaster, Di Xin stood up with satisfaction and led the people outside... Before leaving, Di Xin suddenly stopped and looked at the underworld.
"The underworld owes its merits to the heaven and the earth. As a team heading west, there is only one person in the underworld! Disasters will be divided into ten disasters!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xuan Ming is overjoyed! In terms of calamity, look at the heaven today, the merits... Now one-eighth of the merits of the calamity can be shared, and one-fifth of the candidates for Journey to the West can make a lot of money!
If calculated based on the merits of being a god and measuring tribulations... it would be enough to create a quasi-sage!
"Well, this is what the underworld deserves! Yinshan, please give Buddhism some face! Before the calamity is completed, Ksitigarbha can control the Yinshan Mountain; after the calamity is measured, it must be returned to the underworld!"
"Buddhism, please obey the will of the Emperor of Heaven!"
Tathagata has received the greatest benefit, so naturally he does not dare to contradict the Emperor of Heaven.
Xuan Ming also nodded, agreeing with Di Xin's opinion... and then bowed and saluted with Taoist Master Minghe.
"Farewell to the Emperor of Heaven!"
"Well, don't give it away!"
Di Xin waved his hand without looking back, and the dragon and phoenix heaven and earth chariot let out a roar of dragons and phoenixes, soared into the sky, broke through the space, and returned to the heaven!
And the moment Di Xin entered the heaven, a huge dharma appearance of a bald monk wearing a Vairocana crown appeared in the heaven and earth!
"As Ksitigarbha, I should control the Yin Mountains of the underworld, recite Buddhist scriptures, and save the souls of the dead!"
"I swear now: Unless hell is empty, I swear I will never become a Buddha!"
As the sound falls, countless golden flowers bloom in heaven and earth, and heaven will bring merit to the Yin Mountains of the underworld! An extremely powerful aura spread out instantly! Ksitigarbha, with the help of meritorious deeds, successfully beheaded the corpse and became a quasi-sage!
"Fancy."
Di Xin complained: [It’s just a promotion to Quasi-Saint. Is it worth making such a big fuss? Buddhism, for the sake of great prosperity, seems to be shameless! 】
[Sure enough, it’s not without reason that I look down on Buddhism! Buddhism is too low! 】
