Chapter 91 Master, I will protect you (Happy New Year’s Eve)
All Buddhas have spoken!
But one person did not speak.
That is Patriarch Bodhi!
The leader of Buddhism is Tathagata, but this is just superficial. Tathagata can make decisions on ordinary small things, but when encountering real big problems.
It is simply impossible for Tathagata to speak in one word. For example, now, Tathagata already has an idea in his mind and has his own thoughts.
But can he make the final decision?
Is it possible?
He cannot.
If Tathagata cannot make a decision, then leave the problem to someone who can make a decision.
"Grandmaster, what do you think?"
The Tathagata came to see Patriarch Bodhi and asked respectfully.
Patriarch Bodhi is the incarnation of the saint Zundi Taoist, and he represents the saint, and his decision is the meaning of the saint.
Who in Buddhism dares to refute what the saint means?
Let me ask, who dares to refute?
No one dared to refute it.
Patriarch Bodhi did not speak immediately, but remained silent. The eyes of the Buddhas fell on Patriarch Bodhi.
They said so much, it's all just suggestions.
The person who can really make the decision is the Bodhi Patriarch in front of you.
What decision will Patriarch Bodhi make?
All Buddhas are curious.
Is it a war?
Or endure it?
Patriarch Bodhi was silent for a long time. Finally, in the sight of the Buddhas, Patriarch Bodhi said calmly: "Tathagata, go and tell Haotian that Buddhism is willing to give up one percent of its merits!"
Boom!
When Patriarch Bodhi's words fell, they were like a thunderous explosion, echoing in the ears of the Buddhas. They were shocked and surprised.
The pupils were shocked and the hearts were trembling. After a long time, the Buddhas finally woke up. Although they woke up, they were still in disbelief.
Compromised.
Patriarch Bodhi actually chose to compromise. Not only did he choose to compromise, he also gave up 10% of his meritorious deeds.
These words were spoken from the mouth of Patriarch Bodhi. If these words were spoken from the mouth of Tathagata!
The Buddhas have long been displeased.
Just compromise.
I have to give up a successful virtue, I am afraid this is not an undercover agent sent by heaven!
Maitreya: "Grandmaster, just forget about this compromise and give up 10% of your merits. Isn't this bad?"
Maitreya's words fell.
When the other Buddhas saw someone taking the lead, they slowly spoke in agreement.
Only Tathagata did not speak.
So many people have spoken, and whether he speaks or not doesn't mean much anymore.
……
Patriarch Bodhi gave the reason: "No compromise? Only a battle? Today's Buddhism is no match for heaven."
Maitreya: "Master, even if we, the Buddhists, choose to compromise with Heaven, we will not give up even one percent of our merits."
One percent of merit is not just a number, it is a terrifying amount!
Very meritorious.
Heavenly Court has already occupied three-thirds, and now it has to give another 10% to Heavenly Court. Heavenly Court alone only has 40%.
Almost half of it.
What the hell, when the opportunities for meritorious deeds fall into their hands will be even less, how can they agree?
They can choose to surrender to heaven. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years!
But having to pay such a high price to give up one successful virtue makes the Buddhas depressed and confused!
Patriarch Bodhi spoke leisurely: "Buddhism was just looted by the Emperor of Desolate Heaven. What did he give to Heaven?"
"Besides this verbal promise, what else can you give?"
"To give Heavenly Court four successful virtues, we must also see whether Heavenly Court has the strength at that time."
Patriarch Bodhi finished speaking.
All Buddhas are enlightened.
Great enlightenment.
That’s right!
No matter how much you say now, it is just a verbal promise. The journey to the West has not yet ended, and the merits have not yet fallen.
When the time comes to distribute merit, it will be based on ability.
All Buddhas are so enlightened that they no longer speak.
When Patriarch Bodhi saw that the Buddhas were silent, his eyes fell on Tathagata, and he said calmly: "Tathagata, I will leave this matter to you."
"Yes!"
Tathagata nodded and left!
……
Tathagata returned to heaven again and told Haotian about the intention of Patriarch Bodhi, and Buddhism was willing to give up another successful virtue to heaven.
So.
Tathagata took away Guanyin, Tang Xuanzang, and Sun Wutian, and the journey to the west continues!
Everything is back on track!
……
The next disaster will be Gao Laozhuang and Zhu Bajie.
Here.
In addition to Zhu Bajie, there is another person who has been waiting here for a long time. This person is none other than Sun Wutian.
The self-destruction in the heaven that day was just Sun Wutian's plan to escape from his shell. The saint had already taken action. If he didn't follow the trend and use the plan to escape from his shell.
Then it's not as simple as the saint taking action, it's the saint's true body coming.
The difficulty of Zhu Bajie.
Sun Wutian has already made arrangements.
Now he is a handsome man. The man cannot tell his age, but it can be seen from his cloudy eyes that the age of this handsome man is not as simple as the surface.
He may be an old monster who has lived for countless years!
Gao Laozhuang has long since disappeared, but there is a big city here, towering into the clouds, majestic and majestic. This is not the work of a mortal at all.
This is what Sun Wutian ordered Zhu Bajie to build after he came here and surrendered to Zhu Bajie. Zhu Bajie also lived up to Sun Wutian’s wishes.
Overnight, with the help of one person, Gao Laozhuang was built into a big city, and by gathering some little demons, it suddenly became a demon city.
The evil spirit filled the air and gathered into clouds, covering the entire city, adding a bit of mystery and weirdness to the city.
……
……
"Wow..."
Tang Xuanzang looked at the big city in front of him and couldn't help but take a breath. He was so shocked that he couldn't help but sigh: "What a big city!"
Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty came from Chang'an, the most prosperous city in the Tang Dynasty. Chang'an had never had city walls and gates like this.
The fact that such a city appeared here shocked Tang Xuanzang.
Tang Xuanzang is no longer the golden cicada he once was. He no longer has the magic power he once had and cannot clearly see the "mystery" of this city.
And Sun Wukong has a fiery eye, and he can tell at a glance that this city is not simple, and the evil spirit is soaring. This is obviously not a city for mortals.
This is a demon city!
Sun Wukong held the golden hoop and protected Tang Xuanzang behind him. He looked around vigilantly and said: "Master, this is a demon city!"
"Be careful!"
"What?"
Tang Xuanzang was startled when he heard this. He couldn't help but take a few steps back and hid behind Sun Wukong, saying: "Wukong, you have to protect me."
Sun Wukong quickly promised: "Master, as long as I am here, I will not let you suffer any losses."
A creak.
The city gate opened, and there was a monster with a pig's head and a human body, holding a nine-tooth nail rake, which looked very majestic, followed by a group of little monsters.
In a siege, Tang Xuanzang and Sun Wukong were surrounded.
Sun Wukong held the golden cudgel, gripped it tightly, and looked at the pig-headed monster in front of him warily. Obviously, this pig-headed monster was the leader here.
Sun Wukong comforted Tang Xuanzang and said: "Master, don't be afraid, I am here and I will protect you."
