Four hundred and ninetieth chapters: sad reminder of Buddhism
Master Xuandu said calmly: "Not enough!"
Guangchengzi sneered and said: "Tathagata, such a big thing can't be settled by you Buddhists with just an apology. Are you too naive, or do you think we are too naive?"
A cold light flashed in Ancestor Minghe's eyes, and he asked: "What about Ancestor, do you only have one apology?"
Tathagata looked at the three of them and sighed: "What do the three fellow Taoists want to do? Just draw a path."
Guangcheng Zishi opened his mouth and said directly: "It's very simple. Before Buddhism spreads eastward, you Buddhists must all evacuate from Dongsheng Shenzhou and Nanzhan Buzhou."
In today's human world, Xiniu Hezhou belongs to the Buddhist sect, Dongsheng Shenzhou and Nanzhan Buzhou belong to the Taoist sect.
As for Beiju Luzhou, the environment there is harsh, and the place is full of poisonous insects and miasma. It is not suitable for the survival of the human race at all. Only a few scattered monsters and shamans survive.
Buddhism is naturally very keen on Dongsheng Shenzhou and Nanzhan Buzhou, because they are the essence of the human world, rich in products and densely populated, far better than Xiniu Hezhou.
In order to develop Buddhism, as early as after the Battle of the Gods, Buddhism has continuously sent eminent monks to these two continents to build temples, promote Buddhism, and gradually develop believers.
It was only because of the secret obstruction of the Taoist sect that they struggled to make progress. As a result, it took them tens of thousands of years to gradually gain a firm foothold and prepare to spread Buddhism eastward and completely enlighten Buddhism.
If they really want to withdraw now, not only will their efforts of hundreds of thousands of years be in vain, but the subsequent spread of Buddhism eastward will also have minimal effect.
The Tathagata looked ugly, Guangchengzi was simply taking advantage of the situation.
He suppressed his anger and said: "Amitabha, fellow Taoist, your appetite is too big, please forgive us for not being able to do it."
Master Xuandu said calmly: "Then withdraw from Nanzhan Buzhou. This is our bottom line."
Tathagata's face was gloomy. He turned to look at Ran Deng and the others. Everyone's expressions were ashen, and finally they nodded helplessly.
Although the withdrawal from Nanzhanbuzhou would cause heavy losses to Buddhism, fortunately, Dongsheng Shenzhou was saved, and the spread of Buddhism eastward would not be affected.
They can barely accept this result.
Tathagata sighed: "Yes!"
Ancestor Styx's eyes were sharp and he said in a deep voice: "Ancestor's request is very simple. Hand over Ananda and return my treasure house."
The Tathagata shook his head and sighed: "Ancestor Minghe, monks don't lie. The poor monks really don't know where Ananda is. We can't fulfill your request."
Ancestor Ming He snorted coldly and said: "In that case, then you should compensate me for the treasure house. As for Ananda, Ancestor, I will hunt him down personally. I just hope that you will stop interfering when the time comes."
The Tathagata nodded. He had already given up on Ananda as his disciple and said: "Our Buddhist sect will compensate you for your treasure house. As for Ananda, from today onwards, the poor monk will officially expel him from Buddhism. All his future actions will be
, have nothing to do with my Buddhism, three Taoist friends can bear witness."
Ran Deng and others all breathed a sigh of relief. The Tathagata finally expelled Ananda from Buddhism.
Otherwise, that bastard will never know what earth-shattering things he will do in the future.
This time, we compensated Patriarch Styx, which was enough to break the hearts of Buddhists, but we finally stopped the loss in time.
Ancestor Minghe opened his right palm, took out a jade slip, threw it to Tathagata, and said: "This is the treasure list of my treasure house. I will give you three months to organize it. In three months, the ancestor will come again.
Lingshan.”
Tathagata's mouth twitched a few times and nodded slowly.
This is a treasure collected by the ancestors of Styx for tens of millions of years. Even if the Buddhist family has a big business, it is estimated that most of the treasure house will have to be emptied.
Master Xuandu said: "We will also give you three months to withdraw from Nanzhan Buzhou. I think this time should be sufficient."
Tathagata's mouth twitched again, and he nodded silently.
"Okay, now that the matter is over, let's take our leave."
Master Xuandu said, and he and Guang Chengzi turned around and left.
Ancestor Styx also disappeared from the place, leaving only Tathagata and others, looking at the messy Lingshan Mountain at their feet, feeling extremely heavy.
They seem to have endless anger stored up in their hearts, but they cannot vent it out, which makes people feel suffocated.
Maitreya Buddha sneered coldly. He looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva and said: "In the past, the poor monk disagreed and stopped dealing with Li Yizhi, but you just didn't listen. Now it's okay, and our Buddhist power has been withdrawn from Nanzhanbuzhou.
Tens of thousands of years of hard work, all gone in one day.”
He looked at the Tathagata again and said: "Back in the outer world, the poor monk suggested that you expel Ananda from Buddhism. If you had listened to the poor monk's advice, how could you have suffered today's consequences? Tathagata, two masters
I value you, so I have entrusted you with the care of this huge Buddhist sect.
But now, look at what our Buddhist sect is like. From the incident of Sun Wukong to the present, our Buddhist sect has failed time and time again. The Buddhist treasury accumulated by the two masters through hard work has almost bottomed out. You
How can I be worthy of two masters?"
The Tathagata looked at Maitreya Buddha calmly and said: "It's over now. The poor monk will go to Chaos to apologize to the two saints. As for now, the poor monk is still the master of Buddhism. I don't need your guidance on how to act."
"You! Humph, you can take care of yourself!"
Maitreya Buddha's eyes were gloomy, he snorted coldly, turned around and left with his sleeves flung away.
In Buddhism, he is the direct disciple of Jie Ying and Zhunti, and the master of Buddhism should be his.
But just because of the Tathagata, he can only become the future Buddha.
Only after two immeasurable kalpas can he, Maitreya Buddha, become the master of Buddhism.
The Tathagata ignored Maitreya Buddha and said to Kong Xuan and others: "Everyone, Buddhism is plagued by disasters. We should work together to overcome the difficulties and not let these two saints down."
"Good, good!"
Everyone clasped their hands together and chanted the name of the Buddha.
…………
Naturally, the changes in Lingshan cannot be concealed.
In the shortest time, this news spread throughout the three realms, causing countless people to be in an uproar.
The Buddhist sect, which can be said to be the most powerful in the world, was actually promoted to Lingshan. This is simply huge news.
For the people who eat melons, the cause of the Lingshan incident has naturally evolved into countless versions.
Some say that a heavy treasure was born in Lingshan Mountain, attracting all parties to snatch it; some say that Patriarch Minghe alone fought against the quasi-sages of Buddhism and killed countless novice monks.
As for the major forces, they know the truth and are gloating in their hearts.
Who made Buddhism become more high-profile and aggressive in these years?
I believe that after this blow, Buddhism will be honest for a while.
And this period of time is naturally an opportunity for them to develop.
Three months passed in a blink of an eye.
Tens of millions of Buddhist disciples evacuated from Nanzhan Buzhou.
In fact, there are more Buddhist disciples left.
They did not want to go to Xiniu Hezhou, so they had no choice but to return to secular life or switch to other Taoist sects.
In order to compensate Patriarch Styx, Buddhism almost emptied its treasure house this time.
Without tens of thousands of years, they would never be able to recover.
After Tathagata restored Lingshan, he also set off for Chaos, preparing to apologize to Jieyin and Zhunti and seek support.
Nowadays, the true bodies of the saints are not revealed. Even if they are dismembered, they are still basically the same as in the ancient times, sitting in the dojo opened in the chaos.
The only exception may be Taishang Laojun, who is sitting in the heaven.
But basically, he didn't care about people's teachings and focused on making alchemy.
