Chapter 1002: Kowtow before the Buddha, not asking for blessing, but actually asking for mercy
Hundreds of monk soldiers on the field and the divine generals in the dark are ready to take action.
The old abbot's face was full of sneers, with a vague murderous intention.
"Here, I have the final say! This is also the rule personally issued by the Buddhas in the Western Heaven."
"Those who enter the temple by donating merit money and burning incense will be blessed. If you don't donate money or burn incense in the temple, it is disrespectful to the Buddha!
If any mortal does not follow this, they are slandering Buddhism and insulting Buddhism, and they should be dealt with according to the etiquette and laws of Xiniu Hezhou!"
"We, Xiniu Hezhou, are the land of the Buddha. Slandering the Buddha's Dharma is a capital offense! Many people have already committed such sins. I advise you not to make the mistake! Amitabha."
The old abbot clasped his hands together, narrowed his eyes, and his face was full of threats.
Zhu Bajie felt that it was almost time to take action.
However, Tang Sanzang remained indifferent, he just put his hands together and said expressionlessly:
"In this case, we naturally have to abide by the regulations."
"It's just that the poor monk still wants to wear a cassock, hold a tin staff in his hand, and worship the Buddha neatly. After worshiping, he should donate all his belongings to your hospital."
"For the sake of both you and me being monks, please ask the old abbot to be accommodating."
Zhu Bajie originally planned to take out the nine-tooth rake, but quickly took it back and shrunk it into a comb to comb his hair.
The old abbot seemed to have decided on Tang Sanzang, and said very arrogantly:
"Okay, you can't run away anyway."
"Follow me to pay homage to the Buddha! Remember, your lives are all given by the Buddha. If you dare to be disrespectful, you will fall into eternal purgatory!"
Immediately, the old abbot swaggered and led everyone to the hospital.
Along the way, Tang Sanzang asked very calmly:
"By the way, old abbot, I don't know when the Buddha's decree was issued, and which Buddha issued it."
The old abbot made no secret and said bluntly:
"It was issued a few days ago, and three thousand Buddhas agreed."
"And in my Zen Temple, we worship the leader of the Oriental Pure Glaze World, Medicine Buddha!"
"The twelve Yaaksha generals under the command of Medicine Master Buddha are dedicated to guarding our temple. Everything we do is approved by the Buddha! Do you have anything else to ask now?"
Tang Sanzang raised his eyebrows.
"In other words, Buddha already knew these things, and even these were ordered by Buddha?"
"Why is this so harsh? I have never heard of it before."
The old abbot didn't care and continued:
"Now that the world is in chaos and evil spirits are rising, I, the people in the Western Heaven, are standing alone."
"Xitian is doing such a righteous thing, but there is a lack of contributions from believers, so the Buddha ordered everyone to make selfless contributions together."
"This is a great good thing, but those unscrupulous people are not cooperating. They just donate some merits and offer incense, but they still resist, so I can only use some means to get everyone to cooperate!"
"Humph, I really don't know what is good and what is good. If there were no Buddha to protect our world, this world would have already fallen into hell. Those unruly people who don't cooperate are simply unforgivable sins!"
Along the way, the old abbot complained to Tang Sanzang angrily about the uncooperative people.
However, while he was talking, the treasures on the old abbot always caught Tang Sanzang's eyes.
Tang Sanzang's face was indifferent, but under his calm face, Tang Sanzang felt that his heart was like a volcano about to erupt!
What a Buddha who protects all living beings in the world. He plundered with such righteousness, it was really hard for them!
The old abbot kept chattering all the way and said sarcastically to Tang Sanzang:
"You, a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, must not know the peace of our Xiniu Hezhou, but it is normal.
Looking south to Buzhou, killings are taking place and the people are in dire straits. However, we in Xiniuhezhou are neither greedy nor killing, and nourish our energy and potential, all because of the efforts of our monasteries."
"Without the suppression of our temple, God knows how rebellious these unruly people would be and how disrespectful they would be to the Buddha!
What a bunch of damned unruly people, I, the Buddha, are merciful, otherwise they would have fallen into eternal purgatory!"
Tang Sanzang listened all the way, with veins popping up on his forehead, but he took a deep breath to suppress his rage.
Zhu Bajie was so angry that he almost laughed out loud.
What shameless words, it’s a shame that this old abbot can say them without any shame.
But looking at the old abbot's luxurious cassock and the gold, silver and jade that covered his body, Zhu Bajie also understood why he could tell lies with such open eyes.
Finally, under the leadership of the old abbot, Tang Sanzang and his disciples arrived at the main courtyard.
In front of you, there is a main courtyard that can be called vast, with a three-foot-tall golden Buddha sitting in the middle!
Tang Sanzang was stunned by this scene.
It was the first time I saw such a luxurious and luxurious scene. The golden Buddha was ten meters high, and there were twelve three-meter-high golden statues of the Yaaksha god next to it!
All the temples Tang Sanzang visited in his life were not as luxurious as this temple!
Under the Golden Buddha, there are rows of kneeling believers, kowtowing non-stop. From a distance, they seem to be very pious.
However, when I got closer, I saw rows of believers, all with chains on their bodies, just like prisoners chained together.
And all of them are sallow and thin, their heads have been knocked to the point of bleeding, and the bones are clearly visible, but they still keep knocking their heads.
Just when Tang Sanzang arrived, a row of believers who had been kowtowing fell down. More than a dozen of them had died, and there was a pool of black blood under their heads.
Obviously, they kowtowed to themselves and knelt themselves to death.
When Tang Sanzang saw this, his eyes flashed with disbelief.
For a moment, shock, pity, anger, and murderous intent surged into my heart!
The eyes of Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were filled with endless anger.
Even they, who are monsters, can't stand it anymore. They have never seen such a terrifying scene.
Under the Golden Buddha, a row of believers knelt and kowtowed to death!
"Why do you do this to them!" Tang Sanzang suppressed his anger and almost squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth.
The old abbot didn't care, but he smiled and replied:
"These unscrupulous people have not donated any merit, and they have not burned incense in the temple, so I punish them by kowtowing in front of the Buddha and chanting sutras,"
"All it takes is one thousand kowtows, and they can be forgiven of their crime of disrespecting the Buddha, and they won't be held accountable for anything."
"Guangming Temple is the kindest temple in Baoxiang Kingdom. If it were any other temple, it would have been taken out and chopped down long ago."
"This is also the best destination for these unscrupulous people. They just died and did not enter the eternal purgatory. Our Buddha is merciful, Amitabha, so good, so good."
While the old abbot was speaking, he saw a monk coming up very skillfully and dragging away all the fallen believers in the row.
A new group of believers came in and continued to kowtow there.
