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

Chapter 393 Tathagata is in a hurry!

The Jade Emperor's words made Tathagata Buddha's head buzz.

Did Medicine Buddha ask Moonlight Bodhisattva to choose a sutra scholar again?
And he also went to Heaven for help in arranging apprentices and mounts for the Buddhist monks?
Isn’t this what I asked Guanyin Bodhisattva to do when he descended to the lower realm?
Tathagata Buddha took a deep breath, looked at the Jade Emperor with a somewhat uncertain look and said: "Jade Emperor, this matter is of great importance, so you can't just joke about it."

The Jade Emperor blew smoke rings from his mouth, and the faint smoke enveloped his face, making his face look even more mysterious.

"How could I not know the importance of this matter?"

"You and I have been friends for so many years, so I told you this specifically."

Upon hearing the Jade Emperor's affirmative answer, Tathagata Buddha's face instantly became extremely gloomy.

This Medicine Buddha looked silent in the Mahavira Hall.

They still come to me day and night to inquire about the progress of learning.

Didn't you expect that I was given a trick of building a plank road to cross Chencang secretly?
The saint only asked you to temporarily take charge of the Mahavira Palace.

You really want to take root here!
Tathagata asked in a low voice: "I wonder if Moonlight Bodhisattva has found a mount here in heaven?"

The number set by Heaven for learning is four masters and apprentices, plus one horse at most, which is a total team of five people.

If Moonlight Bodhisattva wanted to find someone to replace him, he would have to have at least a team of five people.

Moreover, Tathagata Buddha still has some doubts. If a random person comes out to take the scriptures, even if he has gone through 81 hardships, will the law of heaven recognize it?

"As far as I know, Zhang Guolao, one of the eight immortals in the Shangdong Cave, has lent his donkey to the lower realm of Moonlight Bodhisattva to serve as a mount for the new Buddhist monk."

"And the Antarctic Immortal asked his White Crane Boy to go down to the next world as the new disciple's disciple."

"As for other candidates, Moonlight Bodhisattva is still in preparation, and it probably won't take long."

Tathagata's face became even more gloomy, and he immediately asked: "Your Majesty, does your Majesty know who Moonlight Bodhisattva has found as a Buddhist scripture collector?"

The most important thing in the great cause of learning scriptures is the people who learn the scriptures!

The other disciples, their mounts, etc., could only obtain the merits of Journey to the West through the light of the pilgrims.

Compared to the time when Tang San was buried, every candidate was carefully selected.

Now Moonlight Bodhisattva seems to be much more casual in choosing people.

The Jade Emperor shook his head: "I have also asked Moonlight Bodhisattva, but he told me that the identity of the new scripture seeker will be kept secret for now!"

"When the great cause of learning scriptures is officially launched, people in the three realms will know about it!"

To be honest, the Jade Emperor was actually a little curious about this new Buddhist scripture seeker.

But Moonlight Bodhisattva didn't say anything, so he didn't continue to ask.

After all, throughout the 81st disaster of Journey to the West, he, Heavenly Court, was only there to assist.

Regardless of whether the person leading this matter is the Tathagata of Buddhism or the Medicine Buddha of Buddhism, as long as he can get the merit of his participation in the performance in heaven.

But the nature of this matter is different when it comes to Tathagata.

"In this case, I won't stay here any longer."

The Tathagata bowed to the Jade Emperor, then hurriedly left the heaven and flew straight to the Main Hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he walked over to Medicine Buddha and sat down next to him.

With a trademark smile on his face, Medicine Buddha asked in a gentle voice: "Is there anything gained from Tathagata Buddha's visit?"

Tathagata Buddha snorted coldly: "Great harvest!"

"Oh?"

Medicine Buddha's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately said, "But is Tang San Burial ready to embark on the journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures?"

Tathagata Buddha raised his head and glanced at Medicine Buddha, and said dissatisfiedly: "Is it important that Tang San is not buried on the road?"

"Where did the Tathagata Buddha start from saying this?" "Nowadays, learning Buddhist scriptures is a top priority. What else can be more important than this?"

Are you still pretending in front of me?

Tathagata Buddha quietly smoked a cigarette, watching the Medicine Buddha perform in front of him like a clown.

"Okay, I know everything, so you don't have to keep pretending in front of me!"

Seeing that Medicine Buddha wanted to force Lai Lai in front of him, Tathagata Buddha snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly.

Medicine Buddha's face was filled with astonishment: "Where did the Tathagata Buddha start with these words?"

"Where do you start?"

Tathagata Buddha said with a gloomy face: "Then let's start with you asking Moonlight Bodhisattva to go down to the lower realm to choose a new Buddhist scripture collector."

"You...you know?"

Medicine Buddha's expression changed instantly, and his eyes towards Tathagata Buddha were somewhat evasive.

Originally, he wanted to wait until Monk Bianji officially embarked on the journey to learn Buddhist scriptures before having a showdown with Tathagata.

Unexpectedly, Tathagata discovered this in advance before the matter was completed.

But after all, Medicine Buddha is also the World Honored One of Buddhism. He can reach his current position in Buddhism only by being thick-skinned and knowing how to cheat!

As the World Honored One, his skills in this area are unrivaled among Buddhists!
Although it cannot be like the two saints behind Buddhism, everything can be explained by the sentence "I am destined to the West."

But when they are at this point, it's actually pretty much the same. In the end, all the problems that can't be explained can be attributed to fate!

Medicine Buddha calmed down his thoughts for a while and said: "Trouble has already occurred since Tang San was buried in the west to collect scriptures. If we continue to let him go north now, it is inevitable that there will be no new accidents!"

"There is a saying in the world that you cannot put your eggs in one basket."

"In order to ensure that there are no mistakes in Buddhism's great cause of learning scriptures, I have launched an alternative plan!"

"The so-called new Buddhist scripture collectors are just a spare tire introduced by me to ensure that they can complete the great mission of Buddhist scripture collectors."

"Tathagata Buddha, relax, I have absolutely no other ideas!"

"Everything is for the great prosperity of Buddhism!"

Tathagata Buddha snorted coldly and said with some dissatisfaction: "They are all working as Buddhas in Buddhism. You don't need to tell me more about these scenes."

"I just want to know one thing, who is the new Buddhist scripture seeker?"

Tathagata Buddha looked straight at Medicine Buddha without giving in at all.

After Medicine Buddha was silent for a moment, his voice lowered a bit: "Do you have to know?"

"What do you think?" Tathagata Buddha's voice was still cold.

Medicine Buddha sighed: "Tathagata Buddha, I hope you can understand that gathering scriptures from Luzhou in Beiju is our last chance for Buddhism!"

"No matter what, we must gather 81 difficulties!"

"Do you think based on Tang San's past performance, if our Buddhist sect puts all the treasures on Tang San's burial, will Buddhism be able to receive all the 81 disasters in Luzhou, Beiju in the end?"

Tathagata Buddha snorted coldly and said: "Don't worry, I won't do anything like doing things behind your back!"

"Now that you are the Buddha's World Honored One, you don't need my approval to make any decisions, but you should only give me my approval, right?"

Medicine Buddha nodded and said, "I have no choice but to find a new Buddhist scripture collector this time. As long as he and Tang San Burian can complete the 81st Dilemma together, it will be considered as fulfilling the instructions of the two saints."

"As for this new Buddhist disciple, you are familiar with it."

"The former Buddhist Lingji Bodhisattva is now reincarnated in the Tang Dynasty as a Buddhist monk!"
