The first few days when Xiang Que was suppressed in the lighthouse were actually very deserted. Except for one hundred and eight Arhat monks reciting the Vajra Subduing Demon Sutra, there was no one at the foot of the mountain.
The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Venerables on Lingshan Mountain seemed to have no feeling at all about this, as if they had just suppressed a demon.
Even the four great Bodhisattvas Avalokitesvara, Samantabhadra and Manjushri did not come.
No one from the Pure Land of the West came, as if these people thought it was quite insignificant.
Moreover, those who believe in Mahayana Buddhism in Xitian did not come to watch for some reason, as if they were afraid of the majesty of Lingshan Mountain.
In short, many days have passed. Xiang Que was suppressed in the lighthouse, and there was nothing except the monks chanting sutras.
In fact, many people on Lingshan are quite confused about this. According to their thinking, this situation should not be the case.
"It seems that the believers who believe in Mahayana Buddhism have no obsession with it, and their mentality should not be very pious. Otherwise, as the founder of Mahayana Buddhism, he was suppressed in Lingshan, and there should be believers coming anyway.
It’s about worshiping.”
The goddess of auspiciousness did not understand this. This scene was very different from her imagination, because she felt that if Tathagata or the lamp-burning Buddha were suppressed somewhere, there would definitely be countless believers there.
, even if they cannot rescue the Buddha in their hearts, they will still pray for it day and night.
Randen Buddha said calmly: "This undoubtedly proves a problem, that is, the so-called Mahayana Buddhism is just a paper tiger and has not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, because this Mahayana Buddha has never given any substantial help to any believer.
It is just a joke that all living beings can become Buddhas..."
The goddess of auspiciousness clasped her hands together and said: "What the Buddha said is absolutely true. Mahayana Buddhism is just nonsense that confuses the public and cannot support the obsession in the hearts of believers."
"I'll go see Tathagata Buddha and see what he thinks!"
Since the lamp-burning Buddha brought Xiang Que back to Lingshan, the Tathagata has not summoned him. He seems to have an indifferent attitude towards the matter. This behavior makes the lamp-burning Buddha quite puzzled, because normally,
This is the best opportunity to reunite the spiritual mountain that was divided into two.
If the suppressed Xiang Que is purified on Lingshan Mountain and takes refuge in my Buddha, then Western Heaven will become a pure land again.
After the lamp-burning Buddha left, the Goddess of Auspiciousness looked in the direction of the lighthouse and thought for a while. She suddenly got up and flew out of the main hall where she was, and then flew over on a piece of auspicious clouds.
When one hundred and eight Arhat monks saw someone coming, they all raised their heads and took a look. When they saw that the auspicious goddess had arrived, they closed their eyes again and began to chant sutras.
Under the lighthouse, the auspicious Goddess raised her head and glanced at Xiang Que, who was still being burned by the eternal fire of karma in the green lantern, and said softly: "Your Mahayana Buddhism in the West is just a joke. You should be able to see that once
No one who believes in Mahayana Buddha comes to worship you..."
"So you came here to see my jokes?" Xiang Que's voice came over calmly.
The goddess of auspiciousness shook her head and said: "There is no joke. I just want you to understand that Mahayana Buddha is wrong. It is impossible for all living beings to become Buddhas."
"Then can you and I make a bet?"
The auspicious goddess frowned and asked subconsciously: "What kind of bet are you making..."
Xiang Que smiled and said: "A monk does not lie, abstain from anger and gambling. Doesn't it seem that your Buddhist heart is also very tenacious? I actually made you forget your original intention with just one word. Since you want
Making a bet with me proves that you are not very sure about the current situation."
The Goddess of Fortune said angrily: "You didn't say anything about the bet!"
Xiang Que said calmly: "I bet in the Pure Land of the West, countless believers will come to this Lingshan Lighthouse to worship me!"
"You bet that I will get out of trouble one day..."
"I bet that I can become a Buddha immediately among these believers!"
The Goddess of Auspiciousness raised her eyebrows and scolded: "You are simply wishful thinking. This is completely impossible. No believers will come to Lingshan to see you. In their hearts, you have already become a passing cloud. It is enough that no one comes here at this time."
Proven!"
Xiang Que said: "Then it depends on whether you want to gamble or not!"
"What to bet on?"
Xiang Que said: "If I lose, I will crawl to the feet of the Tathagata and the Lantern Buddha, kneel three times and kowtow to them, erase the Mahayana Buddhism, take refuge in my Buddha, and from now on I will be willing to become the most powerful person in Leiyin Temple."
A humble little novice monk will never leave Lingshan Mountain in this life!"
The Goddess of Auspiciousness was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Xiang Que would bet such a big bet. This bet was so shocking, because as far as she knew, Xiang Que's identity was very complicated. His master was Emperor Taishan of Dongyue.
For the emperor sequence.
Then, both the Nine-tailed Demon Emperor and the Dou Zhan Holy Ape have a close relationship with him.
And there are several major immortal sects that are entangled with him.
If Xiang Que really converted to Buddhism at Leiyin Temple and became a novice monk, it is no exaggeration to say that the fairy world might be in chaos for a while.
Xiang Que asked: "My bet is down, do you want to bet?" "What are you betting on me for?" the auspicious goddess asked subconsciously.
Xiang Que said: "If you lose, just give me a son..."
"Asshole!"
The Goddess of Auspiciousness became angry because of her shame. She is known as the purest goddess in the Buddhist world. She has practiced Buddhism all her life. Although she is not a Bodhisattva and has not become a Buddha, her status is very special. She is the only one in the world of Buddhism and there will not be another one.
People.
Xiang Que's words to ask her to give birth to a son were a huge blasphemy for the goddess of auspiciousness.
Not even to mention her, this Lingshan, the Lantern Buddha and the Tathagata Buddha will all be a blow to the head.
That's too cruel.
The auspicious Goddess suppressed her anger and did not take action to bless the eternal karma fire in the lighthouse. Instead, she gritted her teeth angrily, flicked her sleeves, turned around and flew away.
Xiang Que's voice came calmly from behind her, and he said calmly: "Betting or not? If you don't bet, it means that you are not very confident in the debate between Mahayana Buddha and Hinayana Buddha.
Well, otherwise...you have to feel that you are bound to win, so why wouldn't you dare to gamble?"
"Don't try to destroy my Buddhist heart!"
"If you don't dare to respond, your Buddhist heart has been broken, because you will feel that Hinayana Buddhism may not be right!"
"impossible!"
"Then you bet. If you don't bet, you are afraid. If you are afraid, you are doubtful. If you don't get rid of this doubt, your Buddha's heart will collapse sooner or later. Your Lingshan, Lantern Buddha, and Tathagata Buddha,
Don’t you want me to erase Mahayana Buddhism? As long as you win the bet, it will be time for me to take refuge in my Buddha!”
The Goddess of Auspiciousness paused. She was in a stalemate for a long time, and then she sent the message back and said, "Okay, I promise you!"
Xiang Que looked at the other person's leaving figure with a smile, and said softly: "It's nothing..."
