"Impossible. She has worked hard for Buddhism and devoted herself to Buddhism. She has never had two thoughts. How could she rebel?"
The subconscious way of Ran Deng Ancient Buddha.
He was once the deputy leader of Chan Cult, and he knew Cihang's character very well.
The other party has good character and a firm mind. Compared with Manjusri, Samantabhadra is much more upright.
Manjushri Bodhisattva affirms:
"This is absolutely true."
"It can be seen that at this time, do you have evidence?"
Ran Deng Ancient Buddha frowned.
"At that time, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty held a Buddhist conference and used Mahayana Buddhist scriptures to publicly accuse Buddhism and provoke gods and Buddhas."
"Cihang suggested that we work in the open and the other in the dark. I will come forward to retrieve the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, teach the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty a lesson, and rectify the name of Buddhism. She will cover for me in secret."
"But when the incident happened, he slipped away."
When talking about this matter, Manjushri Bodhisattva was very angry.
If he hadn't listened to Guanyin Bodhisattva's words, he probably wouldn't have come forward so easily.
Then he fell straight into the pit.
As a dignified quasi-sage, he was reprimanded in public by a worldly emperor and forced to bow his head and admit his mistake. This was really embarrassing and humiliating.
I didn't expect, I didn't expect, I didn't expect that Guanyin Bodhisattva, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a compassionate face, would be more useful than him when playing with a square and a wide shape.
After he escaped, he spent some time searching in Chang'an City, but there was no trace of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
If not a rebellion, what else could it be?
The glazed Buddha light lit up in the hand of the ancient burning lamp Buddha, and he closed his eyes to deduce, but found nothing.
Since no trace can be deduced and he has not returned to Buddhism, there is indeed a high probability that he has rebelled.
This couldn't help but make the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng feel even more depressed.
At the time of the Eastward Journey, various forces united to target Buddhism. The situation of Buddhism at this time was already extremely bad.
And the Guanyin Bodhisattva rebelled at this time. Doesn't this make matters worse?
"Then what's so weird about the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? That he actually made you suffer?"
The lamp-burning ancient Buddha looked towards Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Logically speaking, saints would not easily interfere in the affairs of the world. Manjushri Bodhisattva is a quasi-sage. He does not believe that there are no weird things. What can Tang Chen Ji Shimin do about it?
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has a dragon-patterned sword in his hand. This sword is a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure. Once used, it can condense the power of luck."
"The most important thing is that there is a trace of the law of the great road in it."
Manjusri Bodhisattva has a lingering fear in his heart. "The mark of the law of the great road?"
The ancient Buddha of Ran Deng felt in his heart that he no longer had to use his evil spirit.
You must know that the law is the most difficult supreme Taoist technique to cultivate.
From low to high, they are divided into law fragments, law chain, prehistoric law, heavenly law, and great road law.
As long as ordinary monks can peek into the door of the law, master the fragments of the law, and condense them into the divine chain of law, they can enter the realm of Daluo Jinxian and transcend time and space.
Quasi-sages master the laws of the ancient world, while saints use the laws of heaven and use the power of heaven for their own purposes.
The laws of the Great Dao exist above the laws of the Heavenly Dao. Even for saints, they are unable to comprehend them.
Its horror is self-evident.
And the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually had a mark of the Great Law on his sword.
What a terrifying existence stands behind him
Randen Ancient Buddha couldn't imagine it. Before he came to the Tang Dynasty, he still wanted to teach the other party a lesson. Now that he thought about it, it was really ridiculous.
Fortunately, I didn't do this, otherwise I would have been in the back seat of Bodhisattva Lefanshu.
"It's not a good place to stay here for a long time, Buddha, we'd better leave as soon as possible."
Manjushri Bodhisattva said quickly.
"That's right. Let's go back to Lingshan first and report to the two saints before making long-term plans."
Ran Deng Ancient Buddhist Path.
Both of them no longer care about Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Dunyao Temple wishes to be lost.
At the same time, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty also ordered Taoist temples to be built in Chang'an City to worship the Empress Yaochi.
He printed rubbings of Mahayana Buddhist scriptures and spread them widely, accusing them of being ridiculous and fooling all sentient beings.
At the same time, an envoy was sent to Taiji Immortal Palace to request help from Taoist sects regarding the matter of destroying the Buddha.
The whole city of Chang'an was filled with rain and heavy rain.
…
At this time, the entire Great Leiyin Temple was also in panic. Many true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, including Tathagata, were a little restless.
Because they could clearly feel that the situation in the Tang Dynasty had undergone tremendous changes when looking south.
Buddhism's fortune in the Tang Dynasty seemed to be rapidly weakening.
In Daleiyin Temple, there are many Bodhisattvas and Arhats who practice Shinto. Their cultivation is to a certain extent closely related to the number of believers and their merits and luck.
If the number of believers drops sharply and the luck of Buddhism is weakened, their cultivation will also be affected.
Therefore, they can clearly feel this loss of luck.
The Tathagata Buddha stretched out his huge palm and drew it into the air. Suddenly, a vast and boundless river with Buddha's light surging like a canopy appeared in the sky due south.
In the sky above the long river, there are countless light spots, big or small, flickering. The cause and effect are entangled and mysterious.
This long river is the embodiment of Buddhism's destiny in the Tang Dynasty.
Each dot of light symbolizes the factory's luck.
Originally, this long river was vast and boundless, and had a tendency to continue to grow.
But for some unknown reason, a huge black hole suddenly appeared in the middle of the river. When a light point approached it, it quickly turned into nothing and disappeared.
Although the entire long river is still prosperous, it has a tendency to be shaky and collapse at any time.
Many true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas suddenly looked at each other and turned pale, completely panicked.
"Could it be that the extermination of Buddha is about to begin?"
"Bold!" "Unbridled!"
"This Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is begging for death!"
When all the Buddhas were panicking, the Ancient Buddha of Deng Deng and Manjushri Bodhisattva returned smoothly. The Tathagata's gloomy face softened a little and he quickly asked:
"Randeng Buddha, Venerable Manjusri, why did the Tang Dynasty use Ashi?"
"Reporting to the Buddha, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has gained power and the extermination of the Buddha is about to begin."
Manjushri Bodhisattva said with a bitter look on his face.
Although I had already guessed this, now that I heard Manjushri Bodhisattva speak about the Tathagata himself, Tathagata couldn't help but feel his heart sinking.
"How could this be? Didn't you order to retrieve the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures? Where are the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The Mahayana Sutra is still there,"
Manjushri Bodhisattva said bravely.
Tathagata's face suddenly turned dark. This Manjushri Bodhisattva is too bad at doing things. He asked you to go to the Tang Dynasty just to retrieve the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures and prevent the destruction of the Buddha.
But now, not only have the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures not been obtained, but the trend of destroying the Buddha has also been accelerated.
Why didn't I see that you were so stupid before?
The ancient Buddha of Ran Deng spoke quickly:
"Buddha, Manjusri is not to blame for this matter. In fact, there are saints who intervened in this matter of destroying the Buddha."
"saint?"
All the true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas present suddenly changed their colors.
It turns out that what Guanyin Bodhisattva said not long ago, the master behind the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty turned out to be Sage Bi.
No wonder Yu Qing has been acting like this during this period of time
Tathagata Buddha said in a deep voice: "Where is Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
As soon as Tathagata Buddha reminded him, all the Buddhas reacted.
Not long ago, Guanyin Bodhisattva went to the Tang Dynasty with Manjushri Bodhisattva. But now that Manjushri Bodhisattva is back, where is Guanyin Bodhisattva?
Manjushri Bodhisattva showed a bitter look on his face and said:
"Reporting to the Buddha, Venerable Guanyin, she has defected.
As soon as these words came out, the entire Daleiyin Temple was in an uproar.
"What?"
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva rebelled, how is this possible?"
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is compassionate and devoted to the Buddha. How could he suddenly leave Buddhism for no reason?"
"Manjushri Bodhisattva, are you kidding?
All the Buddhas felt a little unbelievable.
You must know that in Buddhism, Guanyin Bodhisattva's sincerity to the Dharma and his behavior are nothing to say. In the eyes of people in the world, they are like the flowers of a loving horse.
What's more, although Buddhism is currently facing internal and external troubles and the situation is urgent, it has not yet reached the point where it is facing collapse and must leave.
Therefore, they all felt that it was somewhat unlikely that Guanyin Bodhisattva would surrender to the enemy.
Tathagata Buddha also frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Manjushri Bodhisattva, are you mistaken about this?"
He still has trust in Guanyin Bodhisattva, whether he can experience it or think about it or not.
Moreover, Guanyin Bodhisattva has no reason to rebel.
In his opinion, even if Manjushri Bodhisattva defected, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva would not be able to leave Buddhism.
What's more, even if Guanyin Bodhisattva leaves Buddhism, where can she go?
Renjiao? Or is it Chanjiao?
Guanyin Bodhisattva was originally a Cihang Taoist of the Chanjiao sect. After the Great Tribulation of Enlightenment, he joined Buddhism from the Chanjiao sect.
Now let's go back to explain the number. It's impossible to teach the Rizha religion because of root difficulties.
Not to mention the People's Religion, Sanqing is a family, how can I tolerate traitors?
"Buddha, there is no way you can be wrong."
Manjushri Bodhisattva affirmed, and then slowly recounted what happened at the Dharma Conference that day.
Ran Deng Ancient Buddha also added:
"After I arrived in the Tang Dynasty, I once conducted deductions."
After hearing this, all the Buddhas were silent.
He escaped from the battlefield, did not return to Buddhism afterwards, and could not find any traces of him. What else could he be than a traitor?
You must know that Guanyin Bodhisattva is a quasi-sage and stands at the top of the entire ancient world.
Coupled with the Buddhist background, even if a saint wanted to take action against him, he would have to weigh it carefully.
If she doesn't want to, who can oppose Pang Bingyan?
The Tathagata pondered for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his palm and drew it into the void.
He saw a huge golden lotus of merit and virtue, emitting vast Buddha light, suddenly appeared above his head.
There are thousands of nasturtium flowers in bloom, with petals ranging in size from large to small, arranged in a certain pattern, and each petal has a mark of merit.
These marks symbolize the status of Buddha, Bodhisattva and Arhat.
The fruition status is equivalent to a hierarchical organization. Having the fruition status is equivalent to being recognized by Buddhism and officially becoming a member of Buddhism. You can enjoy the blessing of Buddhism's luck and continuously gain merit.
Only those who have reached a certain level of cultivation or who have made some great contributions to Buddhism can obtain a certain fruition status.
Therefore, the fruition status is extremely precious.
The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats present naturally understood the symbolic meaning of this attainment status. They all raised their heads and looked at the Golden Lotus of Merit. When their eyes locked on the mark of merit that symbolized the status of Bodhisattva, their expressions suddenly changed.
Because I don’t know when, because I don’t know when, Guanyin Bodhisattva’s fruition status disappears and Kuzang is established.
Lost.
The fruit status will not disappear for no reason. Generally, there are only two possibilities. Either the Buddha took the initiative to cut it off after making a mistake, or the practitioner took the initiative to cross it off.
Now the former one is obviously impossible, so Guanyin Bodhisattva took the initiative to transform it.
This is equivalent to the other party actively severing the relationship with Buddhism and judging Buddhism.
Tathagata's face turned completely dark.
You must know that among the many Bodhisattvas, Guanyin Bodhisattva is the most important to him. But now that Buddhism is in trouble, the first one to rebel is Guanyin.
It is conceivable that he was in a bad mood. "That's unreasonable!"
"I didn't expect that Guanyin would have a different intention!"
"It's so abominable!"
Many true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas became furious and criticized him one after another.
Of course, people are angry not just because Guanyin Bodhisattva has left Buddhism, but there are other reasons.
The journey to the west failed, and the journey to the east began. Buddhism was jointly targeted by various forces, its strength was reduced, and its luck was greatly damaged.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for anyone to have confidence in the future of Buddhism.
Everyone is ready to run away.
But they never imagined that the first one to run away was the kind-hearted Guanyin Bodhisattva with a decent face.
And he ran so decisively and so unprepared
There was no time for them to prepare at all.
After all, everyone is working together. There are many ways out now. You didn't even say anything and just ran away.
This is too uninteresting!
Fortunately, Tathagata was depressed at this time. He didn't know that these guys had such thoughts in their hearts. If they knew, they would probably be angry to death on the spot.
"Amitabha, Guanyin Bodhisattva rebelled against Buddhism. This matter is certainly infuriating, but what needs attention most at this time is Tiantang's lightning to destroy the Buddha."
At the moment when the crowd was excited, the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng spoke in time.
Tathagata Buddha nodded and said:
"What Buddha Ran Deng said is true. It is imperative to prevent the destruction of Buddha at all costs. Otherwise, if this happens, the foundation of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed.
"May I ask Buddha, how can this be prevented?"
Ran Deng Ancient Buddha asked rhetorically.
As soon as these words came out, Tathagata was immediately silenced.
You must know that behind the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there was a saint standing.
In this case, who dares to go up and make an issue? That is just like seeking death.
If we act rashly, not only may we not be able to prevent the destruction of the Buddha, but we may also make things worse.
Tathagata Buddha muttered:
"This matter needs long-term consideration."
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy means you can fight a hundred battles without danger. The most important thing to do now is to first understand the situation in Datang and then respond.
The Tathagata cast the Circle Light Technique, and a mirror image suddenly appeared in the void.
Many true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas turned their attention to the mirror image
In the picture, Li Shimin brought civil and military officers to a temple,
The Buddhas recognized this temple at a glance as the Hongfu Temple where Tang Sanzang became a monk and practiced Buddhism.
This temple was not famous originally and its scale was not large.
But after Journey to the West began, Li Shimin and Tang Sanzang became brothers of the opposite sex.
The status of this temple also rose, and its reputation spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, almost equivalent to the royal temples of all nations in some Western countries.
After many renovations, it became grand and gorgeous.
The Tathagata Buddha statue in the Main Hall is dozens of feet tall.
Didn't the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty recently advocate the destruction of Buddhas? Why did he suddenly come to Hongfu Temple? All the Buddhas were a little puzzled.
