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

"Mortgage the Mahavira Palace?!"

Hearing Moonlight Bodhisattva's words, Taibai Jinxing was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Are you sure you want to mortgage the Mahavira Palace?"

Taibai Jinxing is also very aware of the current situation in Buddhism.

Originally, the Eighty-one Difficulties of Journey to the West did not benefit Buddhism.

In addition, Buddhism has now given the Buddhist treasure house to Heaven.

It can be said that Buddhism today has long been completely wiped out.

The only collateral that can be taken out is the Grand Palace.

As the headquarters and symbol of Buddhism, if you can really use it as collateral, you can get a loan.

But this thing requires Buddha’s nod of approval!
Although you, Moonlight Bodhisattva, are considered to be at a high level in Buddhism, you still cannot be the master!
Moonlight Bodhisattva nodded: "I will go back and discuss with the World Honored One, as long as there are no problems on your side, Taibai Jinxing."

Taibai Jinxing nodded: "If Buddha can agree, Tiandi Bank is willing to provide loans to Buddha."

"Okay, okay, I'll go back right away!"

Moonlight Bodhisattva clapped her hands excitedly, took the golden elixir and left.

For finding such a way out when Buddhism is in financial crisis, the Lord will definitely reward me, right?
With this idea in mind, Moonlight Bodhisattva went down to the lower realm and hurriedly fished out Monk Bianji from the underworld.

After swallowing a golden elixir, Monk Bianji woke up again.

As soon as he opened his eyes and saw the Moonlight Bodhisattva, Monk Bianji couldn't stop crying.

"Bodhisattva... Bodhisattva, I... I am suffering!"

"I won't take this sutra. You can find someone else to do this job!"

Monk Bianji was as aggrieved as a baby, and he would not let go of Monk Bianji's thighs.

Now he is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of losing hope!
Every time I die or live, what's the point of learning from the scriptures?

"Bian Ji, as a disciple of Buddhism, how can you give up so easily?"

"You will become a Buddha in the future!"

Moonlight Bodhisattva once again carried forward the magical power passed down by Buddhist ancestors - the Dafa!
A few words stabilized Monk Bianji's mood.

"Bodhisattva, I can continue to take this sutra, but the cigarettes are almost gone. Look..."

Monk Bianji raised the few cigarette cases left in his hand, looking a little depressed.

This cigarette is indeed a good thing.

Whenever the miasma affected him, he would light up and smoke one, and he would immediately feel refreshed.

But as time went by, Monk Bianji smoked more and more frequently. Even when there was no miasma, he would habitually light one and take two puffs.

Now he is addicted to this stuff.

Leading to a sharp increase in cigarette consumption!

"As long as you learn from the experience, cigarettes are not a problem. I will ask Wuzhuang Temple to increase the frequency of delivery later."

Moonlight Bodhisattva waved his hand and said.

He has now found a solution to Buddhism's financial crisis.

As long as the loan from Tiandi Bank can be paid, Monk Bianji's smoking expenses will be no different than drizzle.

"If cigarettes can be supplied in unlimited quantities, then...then I feel like I can still persevere!"

Monk Bianji's expression became much stronger.

After dying so many times, all his illusions about seeking scriptures have been wiped out.

Plus the three evil disciples and a stubborn donkey under his command...

If cigarettes hadn't given him short-term happiness, he would have been unable to live this life long ago!
"Bodhisattva, that... I told you about the method of rebirth of severed limbs before..."

Seeing that Moonlight Bodhisattva was about to leave, Tangshan hurriedly asked.

"Don't be impatient about this. Wait until next time. I will give it to you next time!" "But..."

"Don't worry, it's just a small method. I'll do it next time."

Moonlight Bodhisattva waved his hand and gave them a few instructions to let them learn the scriptures with peace of mind, then hurriedly returned to the Mahavira Hall.

But at this moment, the main hall was completely lifeless, with no sound of chanting sutras in the past.

Because wages cannot be paid, basically all the bald donkeys are absent-minded.

Seeing Moonlight Bodhisattva coming in, Medicine Buddha put down the cigarette in his hand and asked feebly: "Has everything been done?"

Moonlight Bodhisattva nodded: "Reporting to the World Honored One, Monk Bianji has been revived."

Medicine Buddha took another long puff of cigarette silently, and he looked much older.

As the current Buddha of Buddhism, Buddhism has financial problems now, and he has nothing to do.

Is it possible to go to heaven to get the Buddhist treasure house back?
Pull it down.

This is what the two saints behind Buddhism personally promised to heaven. If we go to ask for it now, wouldn't it be an embarrassment to the saints?
What's more, it's impossible for the Jade Emperor in Heaven to give it to me?

"World Honored One, this time I went to heaven and found a way to temporarily solve my Buddhist financial crisis."

After hesitating for a moment, Moonlight Bodhisattva spoke.

"A way?" Medicine Buddha was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "If you have any way, tell me!"

"A Tiandi Bank has recently been established in Tianting, which can provide loans. We can get a loan first to help us tide over the crisis temporarily."

Moonlight Bodhisattva thought for a moment and did not directly express his idea of ​​mortgaging the Mahavira Palace.

After all, the stakes are high and we have to do it step by step.

If the matter of mortgaging the Mahavira Palace was mentioned at the very beginning, the World Honored One would most likely not agree.

"Loan is one way. Now that Heaven has taken my Buddhist treasure house, there will be no place to spend money for a while."

"After our journey to the west is over, God will send us merit, and we will naturally be able to repay our debts..."

Medicine Buddha touched his chin and began to think.

Loans are nothing new. There have long been banks and other businesses in the mortal world that provide loans to mortals.

It's just the first time I've heard of it at the level of gods.

"It's just...as far as I know, the loan should require collateral, and Heaven will not give us a loan for no reason..."

Medicine Buddha's brows couldn't help but frown.

When Moonlight Bodhisattva heard this, he was ready to get off the donkey and offered to mortgage the Mahavira Hall.

But before he could speak, the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng, who had never spoken a word, suddenly stood up and suggested: "In my opinion, it's better to mortgage the Mahavira Palace."

Except for Moonlight Bodhisattva, everyone in the entire Mahavira Hall took a breath of cold air.

The look in his eyes when he looked at the Deng Deng Ancient Buddha changed.

Is this old guy sick?
Now Buddhism is obviously very poor and cannot even pay the most basic salary.

This means that Medicine Buddha is not the Taoist ancestor. Otherwise, he would have filed for bankruptcy with Tiandao.

It can be said that the only shelter in Buddhism is the Mahavira Hall.

If this place is mortgaged to Heaven, then Buddhism will not even have a headquarters. Can it still be called Buddhism?

Sensing everyone's gaze, the ancient Buddha said: "Since ancient times, those who achieve great things must make sacrifices!"

"Besides, it's just a temporary mortgage. Once the journey to the west is over and heaven sends merit, Buddhism will flourish!"

"It will be easy for us to take back the Mahavira Palace by then. It doesn't even matter whether we want it or not. Our followers will surely spread all over the world, and our merits will naturally increase."

"Even if we think about it, we can open up ten or twenty majestic palaces!"
