Chapter 1762 The truth is revealed, visitors from the west
Although the Buddha statue in Cijue Temple was torn down, the building is still there and was converted into a school.
Moreover, the Buddhist scriptures inside have not been destroyed. In Tang Seng's view, the Buddhist scriptures are not wrong, but the ones who are wrong are the people who recite the Buddha's name.
Chu Hao's words made Tang Seng fall into thinking.
The scene of ten thousand monsters attacking the city is really rare, and the timing of it happening is too coincidental.
He came to Cijue Temple and found the place where Buddhist scriptures were placed.
Nowadays, these Buddhist scriptures have become children's reading materials. They learn knowledge from the textbooks and learn the principles of life from the Buddhist scriptures.
When he came to the Buddhist scriptures, he immediately sat down on the ground and began to open the Buddhist scriptures regardless of his image.
Xitian, Lingshan, Daleiyin Temple.
Avalokitesvara reported today's events to Tathagata.
Tathagata was shocked: "All the demons have failed?"
"Yes, Buddha. Moreover, after Tang Sanzang attracted tens of thousands of people to worship him by reciting Buddhist sutras, he himself destroyed their faith." Guanyin said truthfully.
"This Tang Sanzang's behavior is really unpredictable." A Buddha said.
The Tathagata sat on the lotus platform, glanced at the Buddhas, and asked: "What do you think should be done?"
"Buddha, I think we should send more people there." A Buddha said.
"No, this will only increase casualties." Another Buddha retorted.
This time when the demons went out to fight, all their mounts were gone. Now they had turned into corpses. It was too late to save them. They did not dare to send any more of their own people.
"The purpose of sending people is not to attack the city, but to talk about it." The Buddha who spoke first said.
"No, if I, Xitian, take the initiative to seek peace, wouldn't I be laughed at by others?" Baoyueguang Buddha said sternly.
His Buddha statue was destroyed, and his resentment was unbearable.
However, Tathagata said: "The incident in the Zhuzi Kingdom has had a great impact. Now that the demons sent out have returned in vain, it is not a bad idea to seek peace."
When the Buddha spoke, the other disciples immediately agreed. One of the Buddha said: "What the Buddha said is very true. After all, the Zhuzi Kingdom has believed in Buddhism for many years, and it cannot be changed overnight. Now as long as we show a little miracle, they will definitely be conquered."
"
"That's right, we can send a Buddha there, and then with some small tricks, we can make those mortals respect us again." Another Buddha said.
"It's just Buddha? That Tang Monk is still in the Zhuzi Kingdom after all." Guanyin said.
"It doesn't matter, Tang Monk will naturally not be impulsive when he sees me, Lingshan Buddha. When the time comes, let him go west as soon as possible," Tathagata said.
He understood Tang Sanzang's temperament. Although he was possessed by demons, he would never take action against Lingshan Buddha, otherwise he would not end well if he provoked public anger.
On the other side, in the Zhuzi Kingdom, Tang Monk stayed up all night. When the sun rose in the east, he fell asleep tiredly.
When he woke up again, he looked at the scriptures scattered around him, and a trace of anger suddenly appeared on his face.
Then he immediately walked towards the palace and asked the king to call the people to the square again.
He glanced at everyone, and then said: "Everyone, the poor monk has figured out what happened to the monster yesterday."
As soon as this statement came out, the people present immediately started talking.
What happened yesterday seems still vivid in my mind, and now that I think about it, I even feel a little scared.
Naturally, they also wanted to know why the monsters suddenly attacked the city and whether they would appear again in the future.
Seeing this, Tang Monk shouted loudly: "These monsters come from Xitianling Mountain!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was shocked. They all looked at Tang Monk above in surprise, as if they couldn't believe it.
But Tang Monk looked firmly and said: "The poor monk checked various Buddhist scriptures yesterday and finally found the origin of those monsters."
Immediately afterwards, he began to quote scriptures and spoke out all the words described in the Buddhist scriptures.
In his description, the giant bird and the big bat-like demon that appeared before were all mounts of certain Buddhas.
In order to prove its authenticity, he even asked his disciples to deliver the Buddhist scriptures to the people for them to read by themselves.
After Tang Monk finished speaking, everyone understood that this was actually a strategy set by Xitian to punish Zhu Ziguo, and the purpose was to make them worship Buddha again.
This time, they were angered.
"Xitian has gone too far, these Buddhas have gone too far." Someone shouted.
"That's right, a bunch of sanctimonious guys are responsible for us worshiping Buddha for so many years." Someone was extremely excited.
"Will those monsters come again?" Some people want to give up.
Seeing this, Tang Seng said: "Don't worry, I will stay here for the time being. I will not leave until Xitian promises not to harm you again."
He gave up his plan to go west and prepared to use this as a threat in exchange for the peace of the Zhuzi Kingdom.
Naturally, the people had great trust in him as a national advisor and had seen how powerful he was. After hearing these words, some people who were originally hesitant were relieved.
"That's great. With the Imperial Guard here, we don't need to be afraid at all." The people shouted one after another.
Everyone was extremely enthusiastic, and under Tang Seng's story, their determination to abandon Xitian became stronger.
At this moment, the image of the Buddhas in the Western Heavens in their hearts suddenly changed from tall and sacred to sinister and cunning, and the images they admired before were gone.
After Tang Monk finished speaking, he returned to the palace.
He has made up his mind not to leave, and there must be some action from Xitian.
Three days later, the Zhuzi Kingdom once again returned to its former prosperity, and the haze caused by the previous monster siege was also wiped away.
On this day, a monk wearing cassocks came outside the city.
He looked at this scene with compassion on his face, shook his head slightly, and then walked towards the city.
"Wait a minute, where are you, a monk, working in the farmland?" The general guarding the city stopped him and asked sternly.
Nowadays, the whole country is extremely angry towards the Buddhas in the Western Heaven. When seeing a monk, it is natural to ask him if he is farming. Otherwise, according to the laws of the royal city, he will have to be taken to the farmland.
The monk clasped his hands together and said, "I came here to escape this world, and I will not do anything like farming."
"Hmph, don't you know that Zhu Zi Country doesn't need a monk? Since there is nothing to do, I will arrange for you to do something." The general sneered, and then ordered his men to capture the monk.
However, the monk just glanced at him, and suddenly an amazing force burst out from his body, instantly knocking back the soldiers who wanted to capture him.
Everyone present was shocked.
"I came from Xitianling Mountain to meet the King of Zhuzi Kingdom." He said calmly.
"Xitian Lingshan?" The general's face turned pale. Hearing this, he hurriedly went to report.
After a while, the soldiers sent word that the monk should go to the palace by himself.
The monk frowned, thinking that I am the Buddha of the Western Heaven, and I still want to walk there by myself? Shouldn't I greet him with a courtesy?
He planned to stand here and see what the king of the Zhuzi Kingdom would do.
As a result, the sun was rising three times and the scorching sun was shining high. The king of the Zhuzi Kingdom still did not move, and the others also selectively ignored him.
