I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"That's all..."

The Tathagata, who was sitting on the golden lotus, with a fat head and big ears and a circle of Buddha light behind his head, said calmly: "In the Western Paradise, kneeling is just a respect, not a law. Ananda and Kasyapa, you can't force it."

"Yes, Buddha." The two attendants turned to look at Tathagata at the same time, put their hands together, bowed and saluted.

However, Qin Yao felt annoyed.

He wasn't sure if it was because of his preconceived notions, or because of Tathagata's outrageous behavior in the original work, that made him look at him with tinted glasses.

But what Tathagata said did not have the flavor of compassion or a kind elder at all.

  What does kneeling just to show respect mean?

The translation means that you are not respectful enough to the Buddha. You took his scriptures but still don't respect him. There is something wrong with your character.

Looking around, he indeed found many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. There was some change in the way they looked at him. Some even looked at him coldly. If it were not for the wrong occasion, they would have challenged him to a fight.

Forget it.

Whatever you say is what it is. I am too lazy to argue with you, and I am not stupid enough to argue with you. As long as you can give me the reward for obtaining and spreading the scriptures, that will be enough...

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Qin Yao's mind in an instant, but facing the Tathagata's "magnanimity", he just put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha."

In the center of the golden lotus on the high platform, Tathagata glanced at him indifferently and said in a loud voice: "Tang Xuanzang, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and Xiao Bailong went to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures and spread the scriptures. They have made great contributions and should be promoted to high positions to reward their merits..."

Merits must be rewarded and mistakes must be punished. This is the most basic way for a superior to rule his subordinates.

Now, in front of all the saints in the Buddhist world, facing the masters and disciples who have returned from preaching the scriptures, he has to reward them, otherwise it will damage his reputation of being fair!

"Thank you, Buddha." Qin Yao clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.

"Thank you, Buddha." The monkey, the pig, Sha Wujing and the little white dragon followed suit and thanked in unison.

Tathagata smiled slightly and said softly: "I now confer Tang Xuanzang the title of Sandalwood Merit Buddha, and his place of practice is Chang'an, Tang State. I hope you will stay in Chang'an for a long time in the future, continue to spread the Buddhist scriptures, and glorify Buddhism."

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves towards Qin Yao in front of him, and a brilliant Buddha light was emitted.

The Buddha's light flew in front of Qin Yao and penetrated into his body through the pores all over his body, instantly transforming his mortal body into the true Buddha's Dharma body.

The remaining power was integrated into the soul and absorbed by the kingdom of God. As a result, the Xuanyuan Sword suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light, using itself as a carrier to refine the vast Buddhist power and infuse it into the territory.

The original territory of the Kingdom of God, which was more than eight million miles, expanded wildly, and continued to grow amid loud rumbling sounds. Its area soon exceeded ten million miles and went straight to twenty million miles.

At the same time, the Buddhist hat on his head turned into a golden Buddhist crown, and the yellow monk's robe on his body turned into a golden monk's robe. Only the colorful cassock remained the same, shining brightly...

After conferring the title and reward on Tang Xuanzang, Tathagata turned to look at Sun Wukong and said with a smile: "Wukong."

The monkey in a black tiger-skin skirt took two steps forward and clasped his hands together: "Buddha."

Tathagata said: "You are originally a Taiyi immortal, and you have been refined by the acquired divine fire to become an indestructible body. Since you entered my Buddhist sect, you have been upright and brave, and have escorted Xuanzang all the way to the west. You have gone through hardships and remained loyal. I now name you the Fighting and Victory Buddha."

After saying that, he suddenly raised the rosary in his hand, and a golden light flew out from the lotus platform under his seat, using his body as a conductor, rushing towards Wukong.

As the golden light entered the monkey's body, the monkey's attire instantly turned into a set of silver-white armor, which was gorgeous, exquisite and majestic.

"Thank you, Buddha."

Although the monkey realized that his magical powers had not improved much, he still thanked with a smile on his face.

Tathagata nodded and continued, "Pig Wuneng."

Hearing his name being called, Zhu Bajie quickly withdrew his gaze from Monkey King and looked at Tathagata expectantly: "I'm here, I'm here, Buddha."

Tathagata said: "You were originally the Marshal of the Heavenly Peng. You came down to the mortal world for some business and converted to Buddhism. Although you are often lazy and greedy, you have a kind heart. You escorted Xuanzang all the way to the west. You have made great contributions and worked hard. I will now confer you the title of Bodhisattva of the Purifier of the Altar."

Zhu Bajie was looking forward to it, but when he heard the word "Bodhisattva", his expression changed slightly: "Buddha, how come they can all be Buddhas, but I am a Bodhisattva?"

Ruzi was just trying to fool Zhu Bajie, but he was a man of great insight and could see the real meaning behind it. So he could only sigh inwardly and pretend to be delighted to accept the excuse.

Afterwards, Tathagata granted him the status of a bodhisattva, and the power he received was far less than that of the monkey, let alone compared to Xuanzang...

After changing Bajie's clothes, Tathagata successively conferred the title of Golden Body Arhat Bodhisattva on Sha Wujing and the title of Eight Heavenly Dragons Guangli Bodhisattva on Xiao Bailong.

From then on, the reward for merit was over, and Tathagata smiled and said, "You can return to your seats, but you can stay here and listen to my teachings, and you will surely make progress."

"Buddha, there is something I want to report to you." Sun Wukong continued.

"What's the matter?" Tathagata smiled slightly.

Sun Wukong pointed at the little white dragon and said solemnly, "This is about the Bodhisattva Guangli of the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons. He had an uncle who was framed by a villain and was unjustly killed by the Jade Emperor. Please ask the Buddha to administer justice."

Tathagata counted with his fingers and asked, "Is it the Dragon King of Jinghe?"

Sun Wukong nodded: "Yes, it is the Dragon King of Jinghe River. Wude Star Lord colluded with the Dragon King of Weihe River and plotted against the Dragon King of Jinghe River, causing the Dragon King of Jinghe River to die unjustly!"

The Tathagata's expression froze for a moment, and he secretly winked at Ananda and Kasyapa.

The two attendants understood what was meant and stepped out immediately. Ananda was the first to speak: "This is a matter of the heavens and has nothing to do with our Buddhist world. The Buddha is the leader of the Buddhist world, how can he interfere in the affairs of the heavens at will? Fighting Buddha, please don't embarrass the Buddha."

"How can this be a problem?"

Sun Wukong argued, "When I made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the Buddha intervened and suppressed me under the Five Finger Mountain. He was able to control me then, but he can't control me now?"

Kasyapa said, "How can this be the same? At first, the Jade Emperor sent people to ask the Buddha to take care of it, but now the heaven has not sent anyone."

Sun Wukong suddenly knelt down before Tathagata and said loudly: "The Buddha has always been just and fair. I respect him very much. With such injustice before my eyes, I believe that the Buddha will not turn a blind eye. Please, the Buddha, do justice!"

Tathagata pursed his lips, looking embarrassed.

"Please ask the Buddha to help me." At this time, the little white dragon also knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

Zhu Bajie glanced at his master, but saw that his master had his eyes tightly closed, as if he was still digesting the Buddha's power. He then knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Please ask the Buddha to make the decision for Guangli Bodhisattva."

Not to mention Sha Wujing, an honest man, who also knelt on the ground and pleaded from the bottom of his heart.

At this point, of the five masters and apprentices, only Qin Yao was left standing...

Tathagata pursed his lips and raised his hands slightly: "You all, please stand up first. This matter still needs to be discussed in detail."

Sun Wukong's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling. He said in a serious tone, "Buddha, please be fair." Tathagata once again winked at the two attendants, and Kasyapa immediately asked, "Sun Wukong, are you threatening the Buddha?"

Sun Wukong frowned: "Can you shut up? I get annoyed when I hear your voice. Which ear of yours heard me threaten the Buddha?"

Kasyapa sneered, "I heard it with both ears. You are threatening the Buddha and making things difficult for him. Our Buddhist sect is a pure place, how can we interfere in the affairs of heaven at will? Your request is totally unreasonable."

Sun Wukong was furious and stood up suddenly: "I asked the Buddha to uphold justice, how can you say that I am forcing someone to do something?"

Anan said, "There are so many injustices in the world. How many of them can you take care of? Besides, if the Dragon King of Jinghe River was not Little White Dragon's uncle, would you care?"

"of course!"

Sun Wukong said without hesitation: "I cannot tolerate any injustice. I will intervene in any injustice I encounter. If I put on this Buddhist robe, I will lose my heart to uphold justice. Then is this Buddhist robe good or bad?"

"How dare you slander my Buddhist sect." Kasyapa began to get more aggressive and scolded him, "I think you are still a demon and you are not worthy of being a Buddha."

Sun Wukong also got angry and retorted: "I am not worthy of being a Buddha, and you are not even worthy of standing here! When we were seeking scriptures, you asked us for human resources, but now you don't even have the slightest compassion of a monk. Are you still human?"

"Sun Wukong."

Seeing that Ananda and Kasyapa could not win the argument against Sun Wukong, Tathagata was furious: "I love you very much and do not mind your humble origin. I am willing to make you a true Buddha. Don't be too proud of yourself."

"Hmph." Sun Wukong snorted coldly, feeling completely desperate.

He didn't expect that the truth was exactly the same as what his master said. The embodiment of justice in his eyes was nothing more than a hypocrite who wanted to keep himself out of trouble.

"Tathagata, you..."

"Cough cough!"

Seeing that his monkey was getting angry just like in the original book and was about to scold Tathagata, Qin Yao, who was refining the Buddha's power, coughed lightly and interrupted the monkey's next words.

Silly child, didn’t your master tell you that it’s okay to argue with Kasyapa and Ananda, but don’t argue with Tathagata? Why are you still so passionate about it?

If Tathagata wants to hit you, even with my spiritual power, I can't protect you. Wouldn't that be a complete loss?

Next, let me, your teacher, clean up this mess for you...

"Buddha, Wukong hates evil and is full of righteousness. Seeing the injustice here, but unable to clear it, I am naturally angry. I did not mean to offend you. Please forgive me, Buddha."

Sun Wukong opened his mouth, but when he thought of the bet he had made with his master, no sound came out.

Tathagata had already prepared himself for action. If this naughty monkey really dared to disrespect him, he would definitely teach him a painful lesson in front of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

But now that Tang Xuanzang had come out to plead for him, and was still speaking for the greater good, he really couldn't afford to bother with that naughty Meng Lang.

"Well, for your sake, I will spare him this time today, but I hope you can teach him more in the future and let him change his barbaric temper." Tathagata said seriously.

Qin Yao glanced at his own monkey, and seeing that he looked dissatisfied and aggrieved, he shook his head and said, "Buddha is wise, Wukong has a straightforward temper, but he is not really related to the word barbaric.

If there were no such upright and courageous people in this world who have the courage to crush all injustices, the world would probably sink into darkness. "

Sun Wukong was slightly startled.

  What did he hear?

Is the Master refuting the Buddha on his own behalf?

Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing and Xiao Bailong suddenly felt a beating in their hearts, and for a moment they even felt a little sore in their noses.

Tathagata frowned slightly, and after a while, he said with a fake smile: "You are protecting your shortcomings..."

Qin Yao said seriously: "I like this about Wukong from the bottom of my heart, and I hope there will be more people like him in the world."

Tathagata said indifferently: "If that's the case, then you can go and overturn the case for the Dragon King of Jinghe River. However, you can't act under the banner of our Buddhist world. No matter what the result is, this is the personal behavior of you and your disciples."

Qin Yao clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and gave the other party enough face: "Thank you, Buddha, I will take my leave."

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the hall watched the five masters and apprentices leave in silence. Guanyin opened her lips slightly, but for a moment she didn't know how to speak for them.

"If you meddle in other people's affairs, you will suffer for it in the future." Jiaye snorted coldly.

Tathagata said calmly: "The cause and effect of the journey to obtain the scriptures has been resolved, there is no loss or debt, so let's not talk about them and continue to preach."

He acknowledged the contributions of these five people to the spread of the scriptures, but he did not deduct their credit. Instead, he distributed the rewards to them as soon as possible.

We will never meet again. Anyway, the game of spreading Buddhism to the East has been closed...

"Master, where are we going?"

After walking out of the Great Leiyin Temple, Sun Wukong asked blankly.

Qin Yao looked at the setting sun and said softly, "Huaguo Mountain."

"Ah?" Sun Wukong was stunned.

"There was a monkey who loved the sunset in the Flower-Fruit Mountain and often sat on the top of the mountain until dark." Qin Yao said with a smile, recalling the monkey in The Legend of Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong: "..."

  Master, you have a monkey outside???

It's approaching evening.

In the Flower-Fruit Mountain, the sky is full of red clouds.

The five masters and apprentices sat together at the place where the monkey was reborn, looking up at the bright red and golden sunset in the sky, their faces showing different expressions.

"Master, I feel like there's a fire burning in my heart, and I want to poke a hole in the sky." After a moment, Sun Wukong whispered as he watched the darkness gradually eroding the sunset.

Qin Yao smiled and said, "If it were the old me, I might tell you something about the incompleteness of the world, but now, what I hate most is preaching and big principles.

So, what I want to tell you now is, don't be impulsive, restrain yourself, any impulse will push things to a worse situation. "

Sun Wukong was silent, then he said, "Thank you, Master. If it weren't for you, I would have scolded Tathagata in the Great Leiyin Temple today, and the consequences would probably, no, definitely not be good."

At that time, Tathagata flipped his hand and suppressed him under the mountain for five hundred years.

  This time I scolded him harshly in front of all the Buddhas. How many years will I be suppressed?

Qin Yao was about to speak when he sensed that the Kingdom of God in his soul had finally stopped growing. He quickly scanned it with his consciousness and saw that the total area of ​​the Kingdom of God had exceeded 30 million miles, floating in the air like a continent, containing unfathomable divine power...
