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

Chapter 214: Lingshan’s salary dropped sharply, and he plotted to take Maitreya to the throne! (Please collect and recommend monthly tickets)

The reason why Guanyin Bodhisattva can become No. 1 under the Buddha of Daleiyin Temple, apart from her own cultivation, the most important factor is that she has the power to review the salary schedule of Lingshan.

After all, Tathagata, as the big boss of Lingshan, cannot cover everything. Every month, Lingshan's wages are checked by Guanyin and handed over directly to Tathagata for signature.

If there is no problem, Tathagata will distribute the merits directly to everyone.

After half an hour.

Guanyin prepared the salary list and handed it to Tathagata Buddha for him to check.

After Tathagata took it, he looked at it and immediately frowned.

Then he took the pen, modified part of the salary list, and then signed his name.

Soon after the wages were paid, Maitreya Buddha looked at the merits and felt something was wrong.

Is this salary too little?

I am a dignified future Buddha in Lingshan, and my salary is in the first echelon of Lingshan. How did I get such a small amount?

Apart from anything else, my attendance rate this month is definitely the highest in the entire Leiyin Temple, right?
"World Honored One, there seems to be something wrong with my salary?"

Seeing Tathagata about to leave, Maitreya couldn't help but ask.

"What's wrong?" Tathagata stopped and looked at him with a half-smile.

"There's no big problem with anything else. Just why has my merit count dropped so much this month?"

"And I haven't taken any leave this month. I've always been at work. Why don't I even get the perfect attendance award?"

Maitreya Buddha looked at Tathagata Buddha and raised his own question.

He took several leave last month, so his salary was deducted.

He has been living in Lingshan this month. Not to mention asking for leave, he has never even been late. To deduct his salary is a bit excessive.

"Maitreya Buddha, there is nothing wrong with the salary. It's just that you calculated it wrong."

Tathagata Buddha said calmly.

"Did you forget that you made a trip to the lower world this month and brought a lot of watermelons up?"

When mentioning this, Maitreya Buddha's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and he explained:
"World Honored One, the purpose of this lower realm is to complete the catastrophe of the journey to the west. You have forgotten that I asked the boy Huang Mei to set up a disaster for Tang San's burial in the lower realm."

"Do you have any records of going out and clocking in?" Tathagata Buddha asked in return.

"This……"

Maitreya Buddha's words were stagnant.

Although the Lingshan assessment requirements do mention the requirements for applying outside and punching in.

But I have been working in Lingshan for so many years.

No matter how you say it now, he is a dignified Buddha and an absolute high-level person in Lingshan!
When do I need to punch in and apply when I go out?
"World Honored One, have you never said this before?"

"In the future, Lingshan will strictly check attendance and outing applications. If any of the procedures are incomplete, it will be regarded as absence!"

Tathagata Buddha said calmly.

However, he sneered in his heart.

Do you really think that there is a title of future Buddha, and you want to have a fight with me in Lingshan?

I didn’t see that the former chairman of Lingshan, Randenggugufo, is obedient to me now.

When I speak in meetings, I also know that a few words of flattery will give me ideas.

You haven't taken office yet. Now when I hold meetings and do things, you don't participate at all. If I don't give you some power, do you really think that I, Tathagata, can't deal with you?
Maitreya Buddha and Tathagata looked at each other and sighed silently.

Looking at the salary I received, I didn't feel any joy in my heart.

He naturally understands what Tathagata Buddha means.

Now that Tianding Buddhism is flourishing, the end of the Journey to the West means that Buddhism has entered a new stage.

At that time, Tathagata will abdicate and the future Buddha will become the new Buddha of Lingshan.

Facing the upcoming Maitreya Buddha, Tathagata naturally regarded him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, and was unwilling to give up the good situation in the future.

It's a pity that the title of Maitreya, the Future Buddha, has long fallen on Tang San's head.

There is no value in targeting me.Maitreya Buddha sighed in his heart, he did not dare to say this in front of Tathagata.

With wages paid.

Everyone's faces are not very good-looking.

Because not only Maitreya's salary has been reduced, but a large part of their salary has also been deducted by Tathagata for various reasons.

As for Samantabhadra, it is even worse.

Not only was there no salary for this month, but Lingshan was even owed one month's salary...

Boil!
Seeing Tathagata Buddha leave, Samantabhadra's face turned black with anger, and he kicked the small bench under his feet away.

"Everyone!"

"Now that Buddhism is flourishing in our country, the merits of Journey to the West have obviously increased, but our wages have dropped so much!"

"Will you all go with me to Mount Emei to discuss matters?"

Although Samantabhadra has now been deprived of his Bodhisattva status, the Taoist temple in Mount Emei has not been recovered.

"Maitreya Buddha, please deign to go to Mount Emei."

Seeing that other people at the scene were a little moved, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva spoke again and pushed Maitreya Buddha out.

"I?"

Maitreya Buddha pointed at himself, a little surprised.

"Yes, please invite Maitreya Buddha to go with you!" Samantabhadra nodded solemnly, and then left first.

After hesitating for a moment, everyone in Daleiyin Temple also went out one after another.

Maitreya Buddha narrowed his eyes slightly and saw that no one was in the hall in a blink of an eye, and then followed him.

Not long ago, in the Emeishan Dojo.

Everyone from Daleiyin Temple was present.

Puxian stood in the center and said with a serious face: "I believe you have all received your wages."

"Everyone knows what the situation is in Buddhism now. Tianding Buddhism is booming. Journey to the West 81 Difficult Merit and Virtue. Heaven and Buddhism are evenly matched."

"Obviously the efficiency is much better than before, but our wages have dropped much lower than before!"

"The World Honored One even brought up things like attendance and clocking in to frustrate us."

"Now that all the great Lingshan Mountains have begun to enforce attendance and clocking in, is there any hope for our Lingshan Mountains?"

Samantabhadra glanced at everyone present and shouted loudly: "When the Ancient Buddha of Deng Deng was in office, Buddhism flourished with all kinds of wastes, and it didn't treat us badly."

"But now that the Buddha has been re-elected for several terms, our treatment is getting worse and worse!"

Pu Xian's words caused many people at the scene to whisper and discuss in low voices.

Those who can follow Puxian here are originally dissatisfied with the wages paid today.

At this moment, when Puxian said this, he had his own thoughts in his mind.

Seeing that the time was right, Pu Xian hurriedly said: "As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance!"

"The Tathagata has been the World-Honored One for so many years and has been re-elected for several terms. He even sent the threatening Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to the underworld!"

"Now we can no longer retreat!"

"So I suggest that we jointly submit a letter to the saint to depose the Tathagata from the position of World-Honored One, and let the future Buddha Maitreya Buddha come to power and become the next World-Honored One in our Lingshan Mountain!"

Maitreya Buddha's eyes widened.

Although he had already expected it, he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Pu Xian actually say what he said so openly.

Now that Tathagata is in the limelight in Lingshan, saying such things in front of so many people is no different from treason.

Puxian sneered and continued: "Anyway, I have been dismissed from the position of Bodhisattva, so I have nothing to worry about."

"After I finish speaking, who of you supports and who opposes?"
