Shakya looked at the malicious eyes around him, raised his head and glanced at the high platform, squeezed a smile from the corners of his mouth, and said:
"Amitabha, please forgive me, I made a mistake and fell unconscious."
Why did you faint? You fell to death!
My head was smashed, but the red and white one on the ground is still there!
Everyone was speechless for a moment and had the urge to beat him to death.
But they were still shocked.
Although after the king's preaching tour to the south, more and more people have enlightened to the Tao. The discussion of Tao in the world is not just about teaching, but also fighting.
But still surviving after smashing his head is still an amazing feat.
"Could it be that Buddhism is so wonderful that it can bring the dead back to life?"
"I don't believe it! Your Majesty set up the City God's Temple to invite heroic spirits to protect the human race; he also set up the City of Wandering Ghosts to manage life and death in the world. If you believe in Buddhism and you can rise from the dead, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
"I don't believe it either, unless Buddha can bring my dead mother back to life."
"This is a good idea! My father has not passed his first seven years of life and his body has not rotted. I also beg this Buddha to give it a try!"
…
Suddenly, the surrounding discussion developed in a strange direction.
A group of scholars whose family members had died stared at Sakyamuni with their eyes red as if stained with blood.
"Master Shifu, the bald Buddha who appeared as a saint before in the world said that if you recite the "Moonlight Bodhisattva Dharani" from now on, the mantra holder can get rid of all obstacles and illnesses, achieve all good dharma, and stay away from all kinds of fear. …”
"I don't know, is it true or false?"
"My old mother slipped and died yesterday, which made me sad. Can you recite "Moonlight Bodhisattva Dharani" today to bring my old mother back to life like you?"
"Master Shi, my father died out of anger yesterday while discussing Taoism with others. I would also like to recite this "Moonlight Bodhisattva Dharani". Can I also restore my father's yang and resolve the obstacles in my heart?"
…
Shakya stood there, and before he could speak, he found himself surrounded by a group of people with extremely pious eyes.
The group looked at him, waiting for his answer.
But that look clearly said, if what you say doesn’t suit me, hehehe...
Sakyamuni could not help but take a few steps back in fear. He clasped his hands together, performed a ritual, and said:
"Haha, you have misunderstood. The poor monk just fell unconscious, there is no way he can be revived."
"However, the poor monk understands that you have lost your loved ones and are grieving in your heart. Although Buddhism cannot bring your loved ones back to life, it can relieve the pain in your hearts."
"As the saying goes, the world is like a sea of suffering, and people are boats on this sea of suffering. Birth, old age, illness, and death are all suffering, and they are inevitable experiences for all living beings. Everyone will perish and eventually disappear, and human power cannot stop it."
"But all living beings do not need to fall into sorrow because of this, do not need to feel sad about life, and do not need to be hopeless about the future. We must accept him and enjoy every moment of life with peace of mind and enjoy every day of life."
"The physical body will die, but the Buddha's teachings are eternal. If you believe in Buddha, your faith will exist forever."
"The purpose of practicing Buddhism is to help us find our inner eternal faith and face death calmly, facing the death of all people..."
However, before Sakyamuni finished speaking, he saw that the faces of the people around him were getting more and more uncomfortable, their gazes became more and more fierce, and suddenly a book was thrown at him.
boom! !
Shakya was knocked unconscious directly.
next moment.
Before he could react, he heard a shout from the crowd.
"Fart, we saw you fall to death with our own eyes, how can you still lie!"
The sound was like a thunder, and shouts suddenly broke out all around!
"Everyone, this person is a liar. He clearly has the power of resurrection, but he deceives us. What should we do?"
"I have an idea, catch him! Tie him up and throw him off the podium!"
"Well said! Even if he doesn't have the ability to come back to life, the bald guy who ran away does! I don't believe it anymore. If we throw him to death, will the bald guy come back?"
…
It was like a thunder exploded on the top of Shakya's head, and his whole body suddenly froze in place. His expression was more complicated than the expressions of everyone around him combined, and his neck seemed to be strangled and he was speechless.
This, this, what is going on?
Shakya was so frightened that he backed away and said quickly:
"Everyone, everyone, please don't get excited, murder is against the law!"
However, before he finished speaking, a big man rushed up to him and pushed him to the ground. He shouted at the same time: "Master, you have forgotten where this is! This is the place where life and death are discussed in Yixia Academy." No matter! Since your arrogance can save people from the sea of suffering, please save those of us who are in the sea of suffering today!"
After the big man finished speaking, a group of scholars suddenly rushed around. Some of them even skillfully picked up bricks, hammers, and ropes...
However, they immediately took it back, leaving only strong ropes to tie up Sakyamuni, carried him to the podium, and hung him on it.
In less than a moment, Sakyamuni became a rice dumpling floating in the wind, swaying under the podium.
Shakya:……
He looked at the normally amiable scholars in the audience, and felt that their gazes suddenly became very ferocious.
He looked at the cloudless sky in the west, wanting to cry without tears, and sighed: "It's too difficult to learn the scriptures..."
However, as soon as he finished his first sentence, he felt the rope loosen and he suddenly fell three feet.
Shakya was immediately frightened to death.
After all, he didn't want to go to Jiuyou Underworld again.
It was so scary there!
Moonlight Bodhisattva, help me!
Shakya couldn't help shouting.
at this time.
Lingshan, Daleiyin Temple.
The atmosphere was deathly silent and you could hear a pin drop.
Every Buddha and Bodhisattva has an extremely complex and strange expression on his face.
They have only one thought in their minds, and this thought is exactly the same as Shakya's.
How difficult is it to travel to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures?
It cost two million to get two jade symbols for passage in Chentangguan, and even brought a bunch of Buddhist treasures to the Jiuyou underworld. As a result, the Buddhist monks were still trapped in the same place without even taking a step out.
What's even more sad is... even though he hasn't taken a single step, his life is still hanging by a thread. If it's too bad, he might die.
"How is this going?"
"Could it be that Di Xin didn't keep his promise and has now started to create difficulties?"
"No, it's not Di Xin...I didn't deduce any signs of calculation."
"This, this...could it be that all this is just because of Sakya's bad luck?"
"Di Xin's control over the fate of the world is now beyond our understanding. It is not impossible that he can quietly set up eighty-one difficulties under the fate of the world."
Hearing this, Medicine Master Tathagata sighed, shook his head, and said helplessly:
"Amitabha, this matter has nothing to do with Di Xin. The Eighty-one Difficulties is a game, and the battle is about luck. If this is a disaster set by Di Xin, the luck of Buddhism has long been lost."
"This...is Shakya's own life."
After the words of Medicine Master Tathagata fell, all the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas were stunned on the spot.
Although they have already guessed the reason, they have never been willing to believe it.
The person who was personally selected by the saint to learn the scriptures had such bad luck.
Before he even took a step forward, he faced two life-and-death crises.
Medicine Master Tathagata said: "Moonlight, go to the human world again and rescue Sakyamuni."
Moonlight Bodhisattva opened his mouth, and then said after a moment: "Buddha...this is the human world, and Sakyamuni is in the hands of the human race. What should the disciples do?"
Medicine Master Tathagata pondered without saying a word, then looked at the Buddhas and said: "Fellow Buddhas, even if this matter has nothing to do with Emperor Xin and is not among the ninety-nine and eighty-one tribulations, it can still be regarded as a disaster. Can you guys survive it? The method of calamity?"
"At this time, the Buddhist scriptures in the West have not yet begun. If you can't even get through this matter, how can you play chess with Di Xin?"
Upon hearing this, all the Buddhas looked at each other, but no one spoke.
But their last glances were towards Moonlight Bodhisattva.
Moonlight was stunned: "What are you looking at me doing?"
Riguang said: "Junior brother, this matter started because of you, and it is up to you to end it."
The Buddhas nodded one after another, and each one said incessantly:
"That's right. If you hadn't shown yourself as a saint in front of others and restored Sakyamuni to the sun on the spot, nothing would have happened later."
"Junior Brother Yueguang, can you secretly take away Sakyamuni's body and find it in a remote place so that you can return it to the sun?"
"Buddha's appearance in front of people is for the reputation of Buddhism... but you are taking this opportunity to promote your Moonlight Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra, which is quite inappropriate."
…
Moonlight Bodhisattva did not expect that he would be targeted.
The reason why he showed himself holy in front of others was not because of Buddhism, but also so as not to waste the 1 million taels of the popular jade talisman.
In the end, it was all his fault.
However, Moonlight Bodhisattva was unable to refute.
From the source, this is indeed the case.
Moonlight Bodhisattva sighed and said: "Buddha, I know my mistake. I am willing to go to the human world and rescue the Buddhist monks."
Medicine Master Tathagata showed approval on his face, nodded slowly and said:
"In this case, Bodhisattva will be troubled."
Moonlight Bodhisattva's old face twitched, and he quietly glanced at Medicine Master Tathagata, feeling that the Buddha was also plotting against him.
But he had no evidence and did not dare to say anything. He had no choice but to clasp his hands, bow to the Western Buddhas, turn around and leave, and returned to Chentangguan.
Moonlight Bodhisattva sighed, took out one million taels of silver, handed it over, and said, "Brother Ao Kuo... help the poor monk get a jade talisman for passage."
Ao Kuo glanced at Moonlight Bodhisattva, his eyebrows twitched, and he said, "You are sick."
moonlight:……
…
After a while, Moonlight Bodhisattva left Chentangguan with a jade talisman commonly used in the world and a bag of gold and silver treasures, and turned into a ray of light to arrive at Yixia Academy.
He looked at the crowd who were clamoring to throw Sakyamuni down, his old face twitched, and he was so angry that he wished he could crush the ignorant human race in front of him at the foot of Lingshan Mountain and throw them into the Kingdom of God to let them know what faith is.
But he knew that this was a big business, not a place where gods and Buddhas made the final decisions.
Here, the human race has the highest status, and even a weak human race is not someone he can easily offend.
After all, he does not represent himself personally, but Dashang.
Behind him is the land of Kyushu, and the human king Di Xin stands.
Yueguang sighed helplessly, transformed into an old man, walked under the podium, and said, "Everyone, can you let my son go?"
Shakya:? ? ?
Everyone:? ? ?
The leader frowned when he saw the moonlight and said, "So you also have a father, so forget it."
He was about to let go of Sakyamuni.
However, when he was about to pull Sakyamuni up, he heard Sakyamuni say angrily: "Old donor, you have recognized the wrong person. The poor monk's parents have been dead for many years, and he has no father."
moonlight:? ? ?
The old man turned into moonlight was stunned. He stared blankly at Sakyamuni tied into a rice dumpling, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
At this time, the scholar who was holding the rope was also stunned. He didn't understand what was going on. In confusion, he suddenly felt that the rope was loosened and Sakyamuni fell down.
Bang...
It's still the same position, the same way of death, the same miserable situation...
Shakya died again.
moonlight:……
He was stunned. At this moment, he felt that a mouthful of turbulent flow of four images was stuck in his soul. He could not spit it out or refine it. He wished he could rush up and step on Sakyamuni's corpse a few more times.
I'm here to save you!
Just respond and call me daddy, and I will take you away!
At this time, why should you be an honest person?
Moonlight almost vomited blood.
Now, he seriously doubted whether the Buddhist disciple chosen by the saint could shoulder the important task of promoting Buddhism.
He even felt that Buddhism was in his hands, the Taoism was immortal, and it had flourished.
Moonlight looked at Sakyamuni's body and couldn't help but think of the method she had just heard. She squeezed out tears and burst into tears. She immediately rushed forward, hugged Sakyamuni and shouted: "My son! You died so miserably!!" "
this moment.
The scholars around were all astonished.
hiss……
This old man... is actually Shakya's father?
After all, some people are fighting for money but no one is fighting for bodies.
This, this, is this the mistake of killing Sakyamuni's son in front of his father?
Everyone felt extremely guilty and didn't know how to comfort the old man.
Especially the person who lost it is in great pain.
This rope is extremely strong, and it can easily hold these three or five big men. Moreover, they just wanted to provoke the Western Immortal God and did not really want to kill anyone.
Why did this rope suddenly break?
Although there are rules in Yixia Academy, only the Tao in the Dao Zang cannot have disputes. Anyone who is not in the Tao Zang can discuss the Tao of life and death.
But if you don't meet someone with extremely vicious evil thoughts and preach a way to bring harm to the world, you usually won't be beaten to death.
The scholar was about to comfort the old man, but found that after he threw himself on Sakyamuni, he hugged his body and ran away from the crowd, disappearing from everyone's sight.
"This old man looks so weak that he can run so fast."
"The white-haired man gave the black-haired man a gift. The pain of losing his son may have irritated him."
Everyone talked a lot, and then they all dispersed.
Only the scholar who accidentally killed Sakyamuni was still sighing and feeling guilty.
at the same time.
A black and white giant panda held a few sharp stones in his hand, crushed them into ashes, scattered them on the ground, and then quietly hid in the dense forest and disappeared.
"Mother, it's done."
Deep in the dense forest, Bai Zhi's voice sounded quietly.
As soon as his words reached the Nine Nether Underworld, Moonlight Bodhisattva, who had a smile on his face, had already arrived outside the gate of hell.
Cihang was rowing the ferry, and when he saw Moonlight Bodhisattva, he couldn't help but frowned and said:
"Sakyamuni's soul has been taken away by you, what are you doing here again?"
Hearing this, Moonlight Bodhisattva smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha, donor, Sakyamuni just forgot to say goodbye to the saint, so he came back again."
Taoist Cihang followed the gaze of Moonlight Bodhisattva and saw Sakyamuni's soul again.
She couldn't help but look Yueguang Bodhisattva up and down, and said, "Have you brought the Golden Lotus of Luck?"
…
Half an hour later.
Moonlight Bodhisattva left Jiuyou Underworld with a bloodless face, followed by an indignant Sakyamuni.
"Bodhisattva, you don't know that someone just pretended to be the disciple's father!"
"The disciple was so angry that he tried to break free from the rope and teach him a lesson, but unexpectedly the rope broke."
After hearing this, Moonlight Bodhisattva looked at him quietly and said, "Sakyamuni, if you don't want to die, just shut up."
Sakyamuni scratched his head, not sure why.
