Chapter 1334 Jin Chanzi, why don’t you kneel in front of the Buddha!
After the banquet.
Qin Yao rejected Emperor Taizong's proposal to confer the Yanta Temple on himself, and slowly walked out of the palace with his disciples.
"Master, we have traveled thousands of miles back to Chang'an. Can we stay here for a few more days before returning to Lingshan to receive the title?" When they came to the busy street, Sun Wukong suddenly asked.
Qin Yao understood and asked, "You still want to find out the truth about the theft of the Dragon Slaying Sword, right?"
Sun Wukong nodded silently: "I have this serious shortcoming. I am very curious and want to intervene when something happens."
Qin Yao turned to look at the little white dragon: "Ao Lie, are you willing to satisfy Wukong's curiosity?"
Xiao Bailong smiled bitterly: "You really guessed it."
Qin Yao said: "We just arrived yesterday, and the Dragon Slaying Sword was stolen last night. It just so happens that you are a real dragon. Is it hard to guess?"
The little white dragon exhaled lightly, and suddenly transformed into a white dragon in the street. He said, "Master, please get on my back. I will take you to a place."
As he said this, he placed his head respectfully at Qin Yao's feet.
Qin Yao stepped forward, stepped on the dragon's head and came to its back: "Okay, let's go."
Zhu Bajie blinked and said quickly, "Little White Dragon, can you give me a ride too?"
"No."
The little white dragon flew up into the sky in front of countless stunned people, leaving only rejection and excuses: "You are as fat as a pig, too heavy."
Zhu Bajie: "..."
What do you mean I'm as fat as a pig?
I'm just a pig, okay?!
At this moment, two sneers suddenly came from the side. Zhu Bajie turned around quickly, but saw that Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing both had expressionless faces.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhu Bajie frowned.
"Did we laugh?" Sun Wukong asked Sha Wujing beside him.
Sha Wujing shook his head: "I'm not laughing!"
Sun Wukong then looked at Zhu Bajie and said, "Second Junior Brother, you heard wrongly. We didn't laugh."
Zhu Bajie didn't dare to show his teeth to Monkey King, so he complained to Sha Wujing: "Good old Sha, now you have also become a bad boy."
Sun Wukong flew up into the sky and said, "Alright, alright, hurry up and catch up, or you'll lose me again."
Not long after, the three followed Bai Long to the Jing River, where they saw him put his master down, then transformed himself into a human form again. He summoned a sword with a flip of his hand and inserted it into the beach along with the scabbard.
"Little White Dragon, why did you steal this sword for no reason? Do you know that if your master hadn't helped you in front of the King of Tang, once this matter was exposed, it would definitely cause disaster." After landing, Sun Wukong asked in a serious voice.
The little white dragon faced the sea, fell to his knees with a plop, and tears quickly flowed from his eyes: "The Dragon King of Jinghe killed by this sword is my uncle... He died for me!"
Sun Wukong immediately understood what was going on and asked, "Is there something else going on?"
Little White Dragon nodded silently: "The story starts from before Master started his journey to the West. At that time, I was the Third Prince of the West Sea Dragon Palace. However, because I was born out of wedlock, even though I had amazing talent and made rapid progress, I was never valued in the West Sea Dragon Palace and was often laughed at and bullied.
Among them was Wu Ji, the son of Wu De Xingjun.
Once, he and his people laughed at me so much that I couldn't control myself and hit him. This beating caused a huge disaster.
Afterwards, the Star Lord Wude came to the Dragon Palace to cause trouble for me. My father did not dare to offend him, so he prepared to hand me over to him and let him deal with me as he pleased.
I was so angry that I ran away unexpectedly and sought refuge in the Dragon Palace in Jinghe River.
After hearing about my situation, my uncle used all his connections to get me an official position, making it impossible for Wude Xingjun to arrest me and put me in jail.
Because of this, Wude Xingjun held a grudge against my uncle, the Jinghe Dragon King, and together with my uncle's subordinate, the Weihe Dragon King, set up a trap to make the Jade Emperor kill my uncle unjustly! "
"What kind of game are they setting?"
Sun Wukong's soul of justice seemed to be burning as he asked in a deep voice.
The little white dragon burst into tears and said, "At that time, there was a very powerful fortune teller in Chang'an City named Yuan Shoucheng. The Dragon King of the Wei River deliberately went to provoke him and bet with him on the time and amount of rain in Chang'an City.
Soon afterward, after my uncle received the imperial edict from heaven, the Dragon King of the Wei River showed up and wanted to make the clouds and rain for my uncle. My uncle was reluctant at first, but Wu Ji came to me and challenged me, so he had no choice but to agree.
So the Dragon King of the Wei River deliberately messed up the rainy time and changed the amount of rain, which led to the investigation afterwards. My uncle took full responsibility and was beheaded on the street by Wei Zheng. "
"What an arrogant behavior, what a vicious plan, Little White Dragon, why didn't you tell me before?" Sun Wukong asked.
Little White Dragon sighed, "I wanted to wait until I was conferred the title, then report to the Buddha and ask him to do justice, but after I sensed my uncle's aura on the Dragon Slaying Sword yesterday, I couldn't control myself."
Sun Wukong let out a long breath and said, "Come with me. I will take you to the Heavenly Palace and talk to the Jade Emperor about this matter."
"It's hard to explain." Qin Yao said in a serious tone.
Sun Wukong looked puzzled: "From what Xiao Bailong said, this matter is not complicated, how can it be explained clearly?"
"Wukong, just because something is not complicated doesn't mean it's easy to handle." Qin Yao said earnestly, "You have overlooked the most critical factor!"
In the original novel, Sun Wukong went to the Heavenly Palace to ask for the Dharma for Little White Dragon, but what was the result?
After being scolded by the Jade Emperor in front of all the gods, he wanted to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace again, but he found that things were different from more than 500 years ago. A group of nameless heavenly soldiers delayed him for a long time.
In the end, Nezha was worried that Sun Wukong would suffer, so he forcibly took him away, which prevented the scene of Sun Wukong being judged by the Heavenly Court. However, this also caused the relationship between Nezha and the Heavenly Court to deteriorate.
Qin Yao knew the result, so how could he let Sun Wukong take the risk of going to the Heavenly Palace?
"What element? Are you talking about Wude Xingjun?"
Sun Wukong waved his hands and said confidently: "Others may be afraid of him, but I am not."
"It's not the Lord of Martial Virtue, but the face of the Jade Emperor. As the Lord of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor will not admit that he has done anything wrong. You go and say that he wrongly killed the Dragon King of the Jing River. Even if it is true, he will not admit it. He will only say that you are talking nonsense and then scold you."
Sun Wukong snorted and said, "So what? At worst I can cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace again."
Qin Yao shook his head and said, "You are still the same person you were five hundred years ago, but the Heavenly Palace is no longer the same as it was five hundred years ago. With your intelligence, can't you see clearly?"
Sun Wukong was silent.
In fact, he saw clearly on his journey to the West that his rampage in Heaven was also a setup.
Otherwise, if the gods at that time had taken out the treasures that their master and his disciples encountered on the journey to the West, how could he have been so arrogant for so long?
For example, the purple gold gourd, the golden bowl, the yin and yang energy bottle, the human race bag, the banana fan, the diamond cutter, and so on.
There are so many treasures that can defeat him that you can’t even count them on one hand…
Looking at the silent Sun Wukong, Xiao Bailong said seriously: "Big Brother, what the master said makes sense. Let's go to the West Heaven and ask the Buddha to do justice."
Sun Wukong nodded silently: "Okay, let's go now. Even if I don't want the merit of traveling west, I will seek justice for you!"
Qin Yao sighed. Only after being there in person could he realize the cruelty of the sequel's plot.
In this mythical world where the strong prey on the weak, how can there be any justice?
In other words, fists are justice.
Whoever has the bigger fist is fair.
In the original novel, the group first reported the matter to the Buddha, hoping that the Buddha, who was full of compassion in their hearts, would stand up and uphold justice. But the result was that the Buddha did not care at all, and there was no such thing as justice. Instead, he indulged Kasyapa and Ananda to deliberately anger Sun Wukong, and kept blaming him for not knowing what was good for him.
Then he personally took action, severely injured the monkey, snatched his golden hoop, and drove him away...
This is too cruel for the master and his disciples who regard Tathagata as a guiding light and the Western Paradise as a pure land.
"Why is Master sighing? But what I said is wrong?" At this time, Sun Wukong asked in confusion.
Qin Yao thought for a moment and said slowly: "Wukong, let's make a bet, master and disciple?"
Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes and asked, "What bet?"
"I bet Buddha Tathagata won't care about this matter." Qin Yao said.
Sun Wukong was stunned, then shook his head: "Although Tathagata and I have old grudges, I have to admit that he does things justly and everyone knows it. Faced with such injustice, how could he stand idly by?"
Qin Yao said: "I won't explain too much to you, just tell me whether you dare to gamble or not?"
At this moment, Sun Wukong still had high hopes for Tathagata, and immediately asked, "Why not? What's the stakes?"
Qin Yao said: "If I win, the Buddha Tathagata will really not care about this matter. Don't talk back to him, so as not to intensify the conflict and make enemies everywhere. The matter of the Jinghe Dragon King will be discussed after we are conferred the title."
Seeing that he was so sure of what he said, Sun Wukong felt a little depressed, but he still asked stubbornly: "What if Master loses?"
Qin Yao thought for a moment and said, "If I lose, how about I obey you from now on?"
"it is good!"
Sun Wukong liked the bet very much and agreed immediately. He then summoned his somersault cloud and said, "Go on my somersault cloud. I can't wait to know the result."
Now that the journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures has come to an end, Qin Yao, the Tang Monk, naturally no longer has to be restricted by the quest for scriptures, and is the first to board the golden cloud.
The two demons Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing followed closely behind. The little white dragon put away the dragon-slaying sword and finally jumped onto the cloud with Sun Wukong.
It is 180,000 miles from the Tang Dynasty to Lingshan Mountain. Coincidentally, Sun Wukong's somersault cloud is also 180,000 miles away. Therefore, in a moment, the fairy cloud fell in front of the Great Leiyin Temple in the Paradise. In the temple, there were Jie Di everywhere and Arhats everywhere. There was also the faint chanting of Buddhas coming from deep inside the temple.
"The holy monk came so quickly."
When they entered the temple, a Jie Di greeted them with a smile.
Qin Yao also smiled at him: "It's all thanks to Wukong's magical power. In a moment, I've traveled a great distance. May I ask, sir, what's going on with this chanting?"
The Jieti explained, "Today, my Buddha Tathagata is preaching. The Great Leiyin Temple has gathered the Eight Great Bodhisattvas, the Four Great Vajras, the Five Hundred Arhats, the Three Thousand Jieti, and countless monks and chaplains. You have come at the perfect time."
"Thank you, Venerable. Let's go meet Buddha Tathagata first." Qin Yao thanked sincerely.
"Holy monk, please go away." said the Jie Di with a smile on his face.
Qin Yao then led his four disciples all the way to the front of the Main Hall, where they listened to the wonderful Dharma in silence.
Inside the palace.
The Tathagata Buddha, with a fat head and big ears, kind eyes, and wearing a yellow monk's robe, was sitting on a golden lotus. Below him were the great Buddhist figures that Jie Di had just mentioned to Qin Yao. All of them had Buddha's light and an extraordinary demeanor.
Suddenly, Tathagata stopped preaching, looked out the door, and said with a smile, "You guys came faster than I thought."
"Greetings, Buddha." Qin Yao bowed.
Seeing that he did not kneel, several disciples just followed suit and bowed. This scene annoyed Ananda and Kasyapa who were accompanying the Buddha...
"Jin Chanzi, when you came to obtain the scriptures, you knelt as soon as you entered the door. Now that you have obtained the scriptures, have you lost your reverence?" Ananda asked directly.
Qin Yao: "..."
Why is it that after coming into this world, there are always people who make him kneel down?
Wei Zheng asked him to kneel down, and the monk also asked him to kneel down.
If he is weak at all, he will be tamed and become a slave.
A very funny thing.
In the Buddhist world, which advocates equality for all, there is a strict hierarchy and even a serious slave mentality.
The guy who was speaking was almost identical to the treacherous eunuch slave beside the monarch.
After a moment, Qin Yao looked up at Tathagata, only to find that the other party was just watching the scene quietly. He was even worse than Emperor Taizong. He would not be happy until he saw him kneeling in front of him.
"Jin Chanzi, what are you standing there for? Get down on your knees right now!"
During the silence, Ananda suddenly shouted loudly. The sound carried a trace of Buddha's power, shaking the entire temple and attracting countless gazes.
Qin Yao smiled and said, "Who are you talking to?"
Ananda was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
What is this word?
I'm angry, but you don't know who you're angry with?
"Of course he is talking to you. Can't you see that he is asking you questions?" Kasyapa said.
Qin Yao said calmly: "I see, but the problem is, I am not Jin Chanzi. I am Xuanzang, or Tang Xuanzang."
Kasyapa: “…”
The Tathagata was extremely surprised, but still did not speak a word, allowing Ananda and Kasyapa to continue their trouble.
With his connivance, Ananda became even more unscrupulous and shouted, "You are forgetting your roots."
Qin Yao said calmly: "But I have no memory of my past life."
Jiaye said: "Even if you don't agree that you are Jin Chanzi, even if you are Tang Xuanzang, you should kneel down when you meet the Buddha, right?"
Qin Yao said: "I read the Long Agama Sutra. There is a text in the sutra that at that time there was no male or female, high or low, upper or lower, and there were no different names. All beings lived together in the world, so they were called sentient beings. This sutra was also transmitted from the West."
Ananda Kasyapa: “…”
This involves a very interesting point.
Equality of all beings is one of the basic concepts of Buddhism. The Buddhist stories of cutting flesh to feed the eagle, the prince feeding the tiger, and Sibi lending pigeons all promote this doctrine.
Logically speaking, the so-called Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats are only different in the level of their spiritual practice, not in their status.
But in the mythological world, the level of cultivation becomes the level of status.
Not to mention that Ananda and Kasyapa could not explain this, even Tathagata himself could not explain it.
After all, it is difficult for the characters themselves... no, it should be said that it is basically impossible for them to jump out of the plot structure.
Therefore, the whole hall was silent!
