Chapter 5 Behind the scenes (seeking a monthly ticket)(1/2)
Lingshan, Daleiyin Temple.
"I didn't expect this person to have such ambitions." Tathagata Buddha listened to Guanyin Bodhisattva's story and was quite surprised in his heart: "If he really did it, it would really be a prosperous age for the human race."
"Disciple feels the same way." Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "Please let the Buddha decide."
"Hmm." Tathagata Buddha pondered for a moment and said, "Let's send thirty monks and thirty nuns to Pingdao country to set up a temple and teach my Dharma, so as to seize the opportunity."
"Accept the decree."
…
"The Bodhisattva came back so quickly."
In the palace, Huang Shang was surprised to see Guanyin Bodhisattva coming back within less than three days: "Bodhisattva came just in time. I have a few questions..."
"Amitabha!" Guanyin Bodhisattva hurriedly interrupted and said: "Your Majesty, this poor monk is here to ask for alms."
"Alchemy?"
In the garden pavilion, Guanyin Bodhisattva told the results of the exchange between Daleiyin Temple and Buddha. After listening, Huang Shang nodded: "Of course there is no problem in building a temple."
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Amitabha, that's good, that's good."
"But building temples should be managed as industry and commerce!" Huang Shang said.
"Industry and commerce?" Guanyin Bodhisattva was stunned: "What is industry and commerce?"
"To open a workshop or shop, you must first apply for a business license, and then check various safety hazards and health conditions. Only after passing the standards can you open the door for business. Also, you must pay taxes every month after opening. Well~Temple
Basically, you are doing a business without capital, so just charge 50% tax! By the way, you need to hire a professional accountant to register all the daily entries and exits, so that statistics can be made easier."
"..."
"In order to prevent the temple from harboring dirt, the inspection team will conduct unscheduled surprise inspections. Once it is found that the temple is harboring dirt, don't blame me for shutting down the temple! I also ask the Bodhisattva to pay attention to this matter and don't say it was unforeseen.
!”
"..."
"Also, since you come to our Pingdao country to become a monk, you need to register your identity. People with unknown origins cannot become a monk in the Pingdao country's temples. When those bhikkhus and nuns come, remember to go to the local government office to register their identity to avoid having to leave.
If we can’t find the person responsible, it will implicate the temple, and it will be bad if it is banned.”
"..."
Guanyin Bodhisattva was confused.
No, I just open two temples, do I need so many approval procedures?
Little brother, what's the matter with you?
Faced with Guanyin Bodhisattva's doubts, Huang Shang gave her a national security class + social management class, "The country must be safe and the society must be stable, so that the people can be happy. The Pingdao country governs the country by law, and the country is governed by law, even if gods and Buddhas come
We must first abide by the laws of the country and not act recklessly!"
"..."
Guanyin Bodhisattva took a deep breath and said: "Amitabha, this poor monk wants to return to the West to report to the Buddha."
"Bodhisattvas don't need to be in trouble." Huang Shang said: "If you find it troublesome, just don't open a temple. Our Pingdao country is a country of peace and happiness. It doesn't matter if we don't have Buddhist temples."
Is that okay!?
Guanyin Bodhisattva was shocked and said quickly: "It's not troublesome, but you must tell the Buddha about such important matters. The poor monk can come as he goes."
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva really came back as he went. He came back in less than two hours and brought the Tathagata Buddha's "dharma decree".
"This is the sincerity of my Buddha, and I would like to ask your Majesty to take a look at it."
Guanyin Bodhisattva handed a sandalwood box to Huang Shang.
Before the box is opened, you can feel a sacred power, which must be the power of Buddha.
Huang Shang took it, opened the wooden box, and saw a golden relic inside, shining with thick Buddha light.
Once illuminated by the Buddha's light, a sense of peace and tranquility surged from the bottom of his heart. Huang Shang's heart seemed to have been cleansed of all traces of dust, making him feel more relaxed and at ease than ever before.
"This...could it be..."
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva smiled and said: "This is the relic formed after the reincarnation of my Buddha Tathagata. It has incredible power. It can make the heart peaceful, not be invaded by evil spirits, and achieve great freedom."
"Yeah." Huang Shang asked, "Can I eat it?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded: "Yes."
Huang Shang threw the Buddha relic into his mouth and swallowed it.
This Buddha relic quickly entered his middle Dantian, and then continued to emit golden Buddha light, dispelling all the selfish thoughts in his heart, making him feel more relaxed.
"I have accepted the Buddha's sincerity," Huang Shang said.
Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled.
"But the necessary procedures must be completed." Huang Shang said: "I am the master of a country, and I cannot take the lead in bending the law for personal gain."
Guanyin Bodhisattva’s smile disappeared.
"Relic..."
"What relics?" Huang Shang returned the sandalwood box to Guanyin Bodhisattva: "I don't know what the Bodhisattva is talking about."
"..."
Guanyin Bodhisattva took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty's selflessness is actually a blessing to the people."
"Yes." Huang Shang smiled slightly and said, "The Bodhisattva can go through the procedures for opening a temple. As long as the legal procedures are followed, I guarantee that no one will cause trouble to the Bodhisattva."
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva clasped his hands together and said, "The poor monk bids farewell."
…
When Guanyin Bodhisattva went to go to the temple for formalities, Patriarch Bodhi, who was far away in Dongsheng Shenzhou, was caught by the spider spirit in Pansi Cave.
When the spider spirit was about to have a feast, Patriarch Bodhi shouted: "Don't eat me! Don't eat me! I have a big secret. If you eat me, the big secret will be gone!"
"What's the big secret?" Spider Spirit transformed into a human form and asked, "What's the big secret?"
"You have to swear that after I say it, you will let me live." Patriarch Bodhi said.
"Humph!" The Spider Spirit whipped Patriarch Bodhi ten times, causing him to scream.
The spider spirit felt refreshed and said: "Say it! If you tell me, I don't have to eat you."
"I said, Tang Monk is going to be reincarnated soon. If you eat Tang Monk's meat, you can live forever. You go and eat Tang Monk's meat! My meat is old and bad and not delicious at all." Patriarch Bodhi shouted.
.
"..."
After asking a few more questions, the spider spirit let Patriarch Bodhi go, then left Pansi Cave, rode a donkey, and headed towards Wuyue Mountain.
Shortly after Spider Spirit left, her junior sister Bai Jingjing returned to Pansi Cave, "Senior Sister, Senior Sister, where are you?"
Bai Jingjing searched inside and outside Pansi Cave but could not find the spider spirit. She wondered in her heart: "Where did senior sister go? Did she leave without saying goodbye? Humph! There must be something hidden from me."
After walking out of Pansi Cave, Bai Jingjing said: "Close Sesame."
The entrance to the cave was blocked by a stone door. Bai Jingjing asked all the little monsters within a ten-mile radius and finally found out the direction in which the spider spirit had left.
"Senior sister went west?" Bai Jingjing raised her eyebrows, not sure why.
At this moment, she discovered a bald man hiding in the grass, grabbed him out and beat him: "Where did this thief monk come from?"
"Don't hit! Don't hit!" Ancestor Bodhi screamed with a bruised nose and face: "I am Ancestor Bodhi. I was just beaten by a spider spirit, and the injuries on my body are not healed yet!"
"Huh?" Bai Jingjing asked hurriedly: "Senior sister hit you? Why did she hit you?"
"Because she wanted to eat me, I exchanged a big secret with her, and she let me go. But she was so angry that she gave me ten lashes." Patriarch Bodhi told everything honestly.
"Oh? Senior sister gave you ten lashes, right?" Bai Jingjing narrowed her eyes.
Ancestor Bodhi felt a chill behind him: "What do you want to do? Hey! If you have something to say, don't... ow~~"
Patriarch Bodhi, who received another ten whips, was filled with guilt: Why is it always me who gets hurt?
After Bai Jingjing finished the beating, she asked in a refreshed voice, "What big secret did you tell your senior sister? If you tell me, I won't kill you."
"I said, Tang Monk is actually about to be born. Because eating a bite of Tang Monk's meat can lead to immortality, your senior sister went out to find Tang Monk." Patriarch Bodhi said.
"Is it Tang Monk who failed to learn Buddhist scriptures five hundred years ago?" Bai Jingjing asked.
"That's right." Patriarch Bodhi nodded repeatedly: "Five hundred years ago, Tang Monk begged for mercy in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva and was willing to use his own life in exchange for the opportunity for Sun Wukong to be reincarnated. Now five hundred years have passed, Tang Monk is about to be born, and Sun Wukong will also be reincarnated.
By chance five hundred years ago, I escorted Monk Tang to the West to obtain the true scriptures."
"That stinky monkey!" Bai Jingjing's eyes flashed with deep hatred, and there was also a trace of inexplicable resentment.
"Do you know where Sun Wukong was reincarnated?" Bai Jingjing asked.
"this……"
Bang bang bang——
Patriarch Bodhi was whipped ten more times and screamed: "I said that the reincarnation of Sun Wukong should be in Wuyue Mountain. That Wuyue Mountain was the Wuzhi Mountain back then. There are three moles on the soles of Sun Wukong's reincarnation, which are easy to identify.
