An ancient and jerky murmur sounded, and a continuous stream of dazzling golden lotuses bloomed.
The boundless rays of sunlight evaporate and condense into various auspicious phenomena such as necklaces, pearls, and colored glazes.
The misty aura lingers, making the balcony more luxurious and pure, like the bright and awe-inspiring osmanthus in the East China Sea.
At the top of the balcony, there is a naked ghost.
A broad and muscular chest, tight and strong muscles, and a pair of eyes as deep as an ancient pool.
It’s Manjusri!
The Venerable Master of the West, the Golden Immortal of the Chan Jiao, the mortal guest of the Ji Jiao Jiao, and all the great masters, all stood there dumbfounded, watching helplessly as Manjusri held the scroll representing the terrain of the West in his palms.
The cool and delicate scroll exudes bright light, revealing the vast and continuous shadow of the western land.
Countless famous mountains and rivers, surging rivers and oceans, deep and mysterious forests and valleys...
Hundreds of unowned monasteries are shining like bright stars. Although they do not have majestic and rich spiritual charm, they are all beautiful places.
Manjusri grinned, looked at the two sages of the west, and said in a gentle voice: "The overall situation has been decided, thank you sage for the reward."
"How outrageous, Manjusri, how dare you openly cheat!"
"If you don't respect dogmas and don't abide by the rules, my Western disciples will disdain to associate with you."
"In broad daylight, for so shamelessly seizing an opportunity, you should be cut into pieces."
"Two saints, please suppress Manjushri on Mount Sumeru, and he will not be released for eternity."
……
Noisy discussions suddenly rang out. Manjusri's actions were strongly criticized by all living beings, especially the indignant Jiejiao disciples, who were all fighting against Wu Yunxian.
Countless pairs of eyes were staring at that figure, hoping to use the power of roaring and condemnation to pull him down from his height.
Xingguang followed the pharmacist and said softly when he saw this: "Honorable Sir, Manjusri is so shameless and shameless. You can take this opportunity to uphold justice for Wu Yunxian, win over all the disciples of Jiejiao, and increase your prestige in vain. Isn't it a profit?"
The pots are full."
[To tell you the truth, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on new books. It allows me to switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]
"Haha, silly boy." The pharmacist smiled fondly and rubbed Xingguang's head.
"Don't forget, Manjusri has never broken the rules from beginning to end. The sage has long said that getting the scroll means victory, and he has never added any other rules."
"But, he is shameless. He does not respect the efforts of others and actually seeks benefits through shortcuts. This is unfair!" Starlight's sense of justice is overwhelming. She wants to rush to the sky, kick Manjusri down from the top, and host the challenge for those who have worked hard.
Fair.
"Fair?" The pharmacist snorted coldly, looking at Xingguang with helpless eyes.
"Xingguang, you are transformed by the aura of stars in the sky, and you are instinctively kind to all kinds of things in the world, but don't forget that this is the most barren area in the wilderness. In front of you, this prosperous age of singing and dancing, and blooming flowers,
It's just a saint's disguise to be humiliated. In a situation where there are more wolves and less meat, if you still insist on that ridiculous sense of justice, you may even have problems staying alive."
"As for fairness, haha, that's just an excuse made up by the weak who are greedy, but can't do anything about beautiful things, and want to beg for benefits but can't bear to lose face. Don't forget the Dao Demon Battle in ancient times. Whose hands are not
Stained with blood, but in the end the winner sits in the Zixiao Palace and is admired by all things, while the loser is exiled to the wilderness to fend for himself."
"Only the strong ones who stand at the top are qualified to talk about fairness. We are not qualified yet."
Medicine Master's words rippled in Xingguang's heart, and his belief in becoming stronger was like a spark, quickly burning and growing wildly.
"A strong one?" He raised his head and looked up at the sky, keeping that gloomy figure firmly in his mind, "I want to become strong, strong enough to change the rules and kill all the evil people like Manjusri!"
Facing the accusations from all living beings, Manjusri remained unmoved.
He looked at the Second Saint of the West with soft eyes, a faint smile on his lips, without the slightest trace of panic.
Saint Zhunti frowned, slightly irritated by this situation.
Manjusri did not violate the rules, but just took advantage of the loopholes. The situation before us is completely a game between morality and rules.
Follow the rules, Manjusri will be the leader and get the first opportunity to choose the dojo.
To protect morality, he will refute his own rules, thereby damaging his reputation and making it difficult to establish prestige in the West in the future.
It’s hard to get off the tiger.
Zhunti thought for a long time and chose to protect morality.
If you lose face, you can earn it again, and your power can be accumulated again, but if Manjusri is fulfilled this time, wouldn't it chill everyone's heart?
"Manjushri." Sage Zhunti scolded in a low voice, "The West advocates fairness and benevolence, but you use such means to come out on top. Don't you feel ashamed in your heart?"
The saint's power is so great that the voice of accountability ripples through the heavens and the earth, causing everyone to fall into silence as they all wait for the next step with glaring eyes.
"I'm very sorry." Manjusri shrugged nonchalantly and explained in a clear voice. "I don't feel any guilt, but rather a little happy."
"Although I used despicable and shameless methods, I was able to come out on top in this game, get the opportunity to be the first to choose the dojo, and trample the strong man Wu Yunxian under my feet. It feels really wonderful.
."
"You!" Saint Zhunti suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Manjusri, speechless.
"Damn it, does he know what he is talking about?" Maitreya was shocked and could not believe that such words came from Manjusri's mouth.
"Openly admitting one's crime will leave a stain on morality. It will be difficult for him to squeeze into the power center of the West in the future. Does he really not care about this? Then why is he seeking the Eight Treasures Merit Pool?" The pharmacist narrowed his eyes and thought in his mind.
He was thinking a lot, analyzing the real purpose of Manjusri's move.
Jin Chanzi stood in the distance, hearing Manjusri's self-destructive remarks, twirling the pearls with a sneer on his face, "If you give up, you will get something. Although this move will be criticized by future generations, it can win the richest soul."
In the Taoist temple, the so-called victory or defeat is impermanent, and this is the truth."
At this moment, Saint Jieyin suddenly said, "In that case, Manjusri, choose the dojo you like."
"Thank you, saint."
Manjusri gently shook the scroll open, revealing the shadows of mountains and rivers in the west.
Under the gaze of everyone, he pointed his hand toward the southwest, and boundless black smoke steamed up.
"I want this place to be my dojo in the future." Manjusri said loudly.
"Damn it, is he crazy? He actually chose to study the mountains. That is the area where Luo Hu self-destructed. There are endless poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. It is the most dangerous and barren place in the West."
"What on earth is Manjusri thinking? That mountain range stretches for 68,000 miles, and the power of filth and death is endless. It is said that it has long been abandoned by Western leaders and abandoned the great cause of rejuvenation."
"That's not all. The sky above the Gengdu Mountains is filled with poisonous mist all year round. It is full of bloodthirsty and cruel beasts. Manjusri is only in the realm of true immortals. No matter how hard you work, you can't purify this place." p>
At this time, an old man walked out of the crowd.
His face is old and weather-beaten, and the years have left several grooves on his face.
It was the clear water rhinoceros who was inspired by Manjusri in front of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool - Lou Shan!
During this period, he traveled in the West, combing the mountains and rivers day and night, and felt deeply.
After giving sincerely, in addition to merit rewards, you will also gain the purity of your soul and spiritual sublimation.
Because of this, Lou Shan admired Manjusri even more.
When he discovered Manjusri's wrong choice, he quickly walked out of the crowd to warn him.
Lou Shan raised his head and said loudly: "Venerable Manjusri, think twice. The Gengdu Mountains are the most barren area in the West. It is filled with filth and poisonous mist, and there are endless swarms of ferocious beasts and insects. However, it is a death zone that no one can avoid." p>
Facing Lou Shan's reminder, Manjusri remained unmoved. He looked down at the sentient beings below the tower, his eyes flickering as he wondered what he was thinking about.
"Alas."
After a long time, Manjusri suddenly sighed, "Loushan, you have disappointed me."
He put the scroll back to the top of the balcony, with a slightly lonely expression, and said earnestly: "How could I not know the harsh conditions of the Pengdu Mountains? But now, everyone is avoiding it. When will the great cause of the rejuvenation of the West be achieved?
Done?"
"This mountain range is vast in area, and its spirit accumulation is of average and upper level in the Western world. Have you ever thought about how many living beings can be supported for practice if it is purified and repaired? How much will the luck of the West be improved? The two saints owe Heaven.
How much can you repay with your merits?"
"Loushan, you always think about yourself, but you never think about all the living beings who are weaker than yourself. They have no foundation and no one to rely on. They can only survive in remote corners, but they are still living lives.
, they have ideals, are willing to work hard, and can endure hardships, so why can't we sacrifice more to create a soil for them to live and work in peace and contentment?"
Manjusri's eyes were a little moist, and he tried his best to swallow his saliva to suppress the flow of tears. His voice was trembling, and he was a little disappointed.
"I will do the things you don't bother to do, I will pay the sacrifices you don't want to make, I will waste the time you don't want to waste, even if you are criticized by thousands of people, it doesn't matter even if you are despised by thousands of people, spread your love
To the human world, to convert all living beings in the West, this is my path, I must persist even if my body is broken into pieces."
Manjusri finally couldn't hold it any longer, and tears flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably.
He closed his eyes with difficulty and tried his best to endure the grief and anger in his heart. This picture of selfless love but suffering injustice made everyone below him lower his head in shame.
Snap!
Lou Shan slapped himself hard and fell to his knees with a thud.
"Venerable Manjusri is so righteous, I am so ashamed of myself. I am willing to work for him to restore the farmland, even if my soul is gone, I am willing to do so."
His words suddenly stirred up the hearts of everyone. Those Western creatures who were watching the excitement knelt down on the ground in shame, shouting about Manjusri's high righteousness, and expressed their vow to follow and serve him to the death.
"Venerable Manjushri has such boundless love, and we are so ashamed to speculate with a villain's heart."
"There are countless venerable people in the West, but they all pretend to be superior. Who is willing to look down at the ants at the bottom like us? Only Venerable Manjushri is kind and compassionate to all living beings."
"Oh my God, true mercy has finally appeared. I am willing to go through fire and water for Venerable Manjusri, and go to the Pengdu Plain to sort out the mountains and rivers."
"Venerable Manjusri, leave the poisonous mist to our Blue and White Family. You can set off immediately as long as you give the order."
"Don't forget that we are fighting for Haiyun Egret. Please let us deal with the polluted vegetation."
……
Those struggling creatures at the bottom looked at Manjusri's majestic figure, and bursts of hope emerged in their hearts.
They couldn't wait to call their friends and gathered at the foot of Mount Sumeru as quickly as possible, waiting for Manjusri's order to purify the farming and reading plains.
"Manjusri, you really deserve to die."
The pharmacist gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart. The restraint he had maintained for many years suddenly fell apart.
Manjusri was very good at suppressing his reputation before he wanted to do it. He deliberately ruined himself and brought his reputation to the bottom. Then he suddenly turned around and took advantage of the guilt of all living beings to raise his reputation to the extreme and make the most of everyone's psychology. p>
In contrast, several sages in the West suffered the loss of being dumb, and their reputations were trampled to the bottom by Manjushri.
The moral stain just now has now become a highlight. From now on, Manjusri will be the role model for Western sages and an insurmountable gap for all sages!
Everyone has become a foil, including Zhunti, who was publicly criticized just now!
Manjusri stubbornly wiped away his tears, as if his grievance was finally revealed, he pursed his lips and trembled with excitement.
"Thank you for your kindness. In three days, we will go to the Pengdu Plain together to burn for the great cause of the rejuvenation of the West."
"Follow the decree of Venerable Manjusri!" The unity of the people and the momentum were so great that the face of Medicine Master Maitreya became even more ugly.
"Haha, Manjusri, you did a good job. I just blamed you wrongly." Suddenly, Saint Zhunti laughed, and he landed next to Manjusri with a pleasant look. Three flowers were in full bloom above his head, and a large relic was floating inside.
Son, the bright and bright light shines in the sky.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The relic shone brightly and fell in front of Manjusri, transforming into an old man with a long beard.
He was wearing a plain Bagua Taoist robe, holding a deer-tail white cherry whisk, smiling kindly and amiably, and bowed to the Zhunti saint.
"A poor Bodhisattva has seen a saint."
"Bodhi, from now on you will follow Manjusri, riding in front and back until the Cengdu Mountains are restored, to make up for my guilt of misunderstanding Venerable Manjusri." Sage Zhunti said loudly, admitting his mistake graciously.
"Good." Bodhi nodded with a smile, floated behind Manjusri and said softly, "Honorable Manjusri, if you have anything to do, please feel free to tell me."
"Oh my God, Sage Zhunti actually admitted his mistake."
"The two sages devoted all their efforts for the West, and in order to help Manjusri restore the world, they actually made the good corpse ride for him. Such compassion warms our hearts."
"Yes, Saint Zhunti has always worked hard. The present scene in the West is also due to his hard work."
Jin Chanzi put away the pearls, relaxed his muscles and bones, and left Mount Sumeru directly.
He was particularly impressed by Manjusri's skills, but he was disgusted by Zhunti.
"It is worthy of being a saint of wisdom, and the means of turning the situation around in an instant are beyond my reach." A sneer appeared at the corner of Jin Chanzi's mouth, and he quickly disappeared within the confines of Mount Sumeru.
Zhunti waved gently and took the scroll back into his palm. Several auspicious clouds rose up and lifted up the disciples who were still climbing the stairs.
Wu Yunxian fell from the building and lost the qualification to choose a dojo. Now, Ma Yuan is ranked first.
There is no need to continue the comparison. Everyone remembers the first name, and the subsequent rankings are irrelevant and a waste of time.
"Ma Yuan, choose your dojo." Zhunti said softly, and the latter immediately pointed to the north with joy.
"Sage, I want this ocean of white sand."
Before he finished speaking, there were several scolding voices.
"Bah, shameless, so shameless."
"Baisha is rich in marine resources and aquatic products. Ma Yuan actually licked his face and asked for it."
"It's really disgusting. He only has interests in his eyes. Everyone should stay away from him in the future."
"I've given in, you selfish devil, I'm so humble."
