Journey to the West Bandits: The Poor Monk Just Wants to Be a Godfather

Chapter 213 Buddhist Payday (Please collect and recommend monthly tickets)
As the five directions were taken away, everyone in the Great Leiyin Temple fell silent.

Although the Five Directions Revealed Truth are just a few little people on Lingshan Mountain.

But their experiences made all the migrant workers in Lingshan feel the same way.

Although drinking alcohol and eating meat violates Buddhist precepts.

But this matter can be big or small.

Normally when Buddha was in a good mood, this would not be a big deal at all.

But it happened that these five directions revealed the truth when the Buddha was in a bad mood.

After dealing with the five directions, Tathagata Buddha glanced at everyone and asked in a low voice: "What insights have you gained from going through the difficulty of traveling to the west?"

Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

The journey to the west failed. Buddha is now very angry. If he talks too much, he will be wrong. It is better not to say anything.

Seeing that no one was speaking, the Tathagata came to Samantabhadra and asked directly: "Samantabhadra, you have a deep understanding of this difficulty. Please tell me your opinion, so that everyone can learn from it in the future."

Puxian: ...

I have transformed from a Bodhisattva to an Arhat, and you still want to drag me out to whip the corpse?

Samantabhadra took a deep breath and said bravely: "World Honored One, through this difficulty I have profoundly understood a truth."

"Don't pretend to be a man, you will be struck by lightning!"

If he had listened to Manjusri Bodhisattva and allowed Tang San to be buried across the Shituo Mountains and put all his problems in the Shituo Kingdom, he would not have ended up like this now.

Even if this difficulty fails in the end, the bulk of the responsibility will still fall on Tathagata Buddha.

How can it be like now, when oneself is like a white elephant, the white elephant is gone, and the Bodhisattvas are gone.

Not only did his status in Daleiyin Temple decline, he even became the laughingstock of others after dinner.

Tathagata Buddha said with a gloomy face: "If you don't reflect deeply, I will deduct one month's salary and continue to reflect!"

Puxian withdrew with a dark face.

Anyway, I have been downgraded to an Arhat, so I don’t have much money, so just deduct it.

Seeing that no one else spoke, the scene fell into awkwardness for a moment. The ancient Buddha of Deng Deng stood up and said:
"World Honored One, in my opinion the most critical problem with this difficulty is that it is too difficult."

Ok?
It makes sense.

Tathagata Buddha nodded in agreement: "According to the Ancient Buddha of Ran Deng, what should we do next?"

Tathagata knows how difficult this difficulty is.

After all, in the original script setting, this difficulty was supposed to be the finale.

If the difficulty level is too low, it will inevitably fail to reflect your own strength.

It's just that he didn't expect to lose it in the end...

Ran Deng Ancient Buddha said: "In my opinion, the difficulty of subsequent catastrophes can be reduced to avoid causing the dispersion of Buddhist monks."

Tathagata Buddha nodded: "The words of the ancient Buddha Ran Deng are right. From now on, we will do what you said."

Originally, he wanted other people in Daleiyin Temple to reflect and understand, and he wanted Samantabhadra to take the blame for this difficulty.

Now that Ran Deng stood up and spoke, Tathagata borrowed Po Xia's donkey and followed his words.

"Now that the Buddhist monks and disciples are getting closer and closer to Lingshan, I dare to ask the World Honored One what is the next difficulty?"

Ran Deng Ancient Buddha suddenly asked.

Tathagata Buddha came to his senses, took out the script, and then used a pen to draw a big cross on the difficulty of the Lion and Camel Country.

It means that this difficulty has failed and has not been completed.

Tathagata had a headache.

The multi-eyed monster in Huanghuaguan failed due to the influence of the dark demon in the previous difficulty. In addition to the failure in this difficulty, if this continues, when the scripture seeker arrives at Lingshan, will he give the scripture or not?
Tianding Buddhism is flourishing, and the merits of the 81st Difficulty Journey to the West are specially sent. If we don't collect enough 81st Difficulties, the merits received by Buddhism will be much less by then.

If it really doesn't work, I have to think of ways to make it up again.

Tathagata Buddha thought this, and then looked at the script.

"This next difficulty shouldn't be difficult." As soon as these words came out, Randen Ancient Buddha and others became curious.

Except for Tathagata Buddha and Guanyin, no one else knew what the next difficulty was.

After all, for something as important as the Journey to the West script, the fewer people who know about it, the better they can keep it secret.

Tathagata Buddha raised the script in his hand: "The next difficulty is the Bhikkhu Kingdom, the people arranged by the heaven."

"Oh."

Everyone nodded silently.

During the entire catastrophe in Journey to the West, except for Laojun, the catastrophes arranged by others in the Heavenly Court were basically not difficult.

After all, it is not my own business. Compared with Buddhism, Heavenly Court is much more perfunctory.

Simply embarrass the person seeking the scriptures and get the merit quickly and that's it.

"Okay, everyone should take this as a lesson today."

Tathagata Buddha waved his hand and suddenly said: "But since this continuous dilemma is inevitable, we at Lingshan cannot let it go like this."

"Everyone, please think about how we can create another dilemma for Buddhist pilgrims. If anyone has an idea and can do it, he can get [-]% more merit from traveling to the West."

Everyone below looked at each other and said nothing.

If you succeed, you can get [-]% more. What if you fail?
Not to mention ordinary Lingshan migrant workers like them.

Even if the senior leader Samantabhadra made one mistake, wouldn't he still end up where he is now?
Not to mention the previous Lingji Bodhisattva.

I still don’t know where in the corner of the mortal world I am suffering.

They can't eat the pie painted by Tathagata, so they just need to receive some salary every month.

As for the merits and virtues of traveling to the West, that was something that the Buddha had to consider.

Even if Journey to the West is abandoned, the leaders behind it are still looking for Buddha. What does it have to do with them?
If the sky falls, there will still be a tall man holding it up. With a month's salary, why bother risking your life by participating in the Journey to the West?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Tathagata Buddha let out a long sigh, and then asked Ancient Buddha Randen: "Does Ancient Buddha Randen have any ideas?"

"Amitabha, I don't have a mount under me. If you want to increase the calamity, you need to find someone else."

The ancient Buddha of Ran Deng clasped his hands together and was unwilling to wade into the muddy waters of the catastrophe of the Journey to the West.

After all, he had retired with great success in Buddhism and became a veritable emperor.

The most important thing now is to be responsible for the Dark Demon Land. As for things like Journey to the West that are subject to change, he will not participate if he can.

Anyway, if Buddhism gets merit, it is equivalent to him getting merit.

If he intervenes rashly, failure will inevitably affect his reputation.

This answer from the Ancient Buddha of Ran Deng made Tathagata Buddha start to think about who else in the Buddhist sect had a mount.

According to the Journey to the West script, there are not many disasters left.

He had to prepare in advance.

Before I knew it, it was time to get off work.

Tathagata Buddha got up from the altar and prepared to get off work, but strangely, no one else in the audience left.

Tathagata Buddha asked in confusion: "Isn't it already off work? Why don't you leave?"

"Ahem, well...it's time for Buddha to pay his salary today."

Maitreya Buddha whispered.

"Are wages paid? Why so soon?"

Tathagata Buddha was stunned for a moment, then he raised his fingers and counted, and it was indeed the time.

"In this case, we should follow the old rules. Guanyin, you are responsible for the calculation."

After the words fell, everyone in Daleiyin Temple hurriedly moved a small bench and table to Guanyin.

Guanyin Bodhisattva also took out the salary schedule.
