The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 186 Isn’t that good enough?
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall became weird. Guanyin Bodhisattva and others thought that Tang Xuanzang was going to scold demons and monsters, but the more they listened, the more they felt something was wrong, and his words revealed his rebellious nature.

While the people in black robe were surprised, they also showed a look of vigilance in their eyes, fearing that he would attack them again after killing the Buddhist traitor.

"Master, since you want to clear up the universe, cleanse the heavens, and rectify the three realms, why don't you learn from the lessons of Buddhism and Heaven? Now anyone can become your disciple." Xi Mingzhang raised his eyebrows slightly:

"In my opinion, there are already enough Dharma protectors and disciples under the Master Monk's tutelage who are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. Why are you adding more burdens to yourself?"

"You monk are even more arrogant than us." The black robe taunted, "In that case, by killing Ananda, you are actually helping the Buddha."

"What do you think a person like Ananda, who is afraid of death, can really do for the great monk?" Xi Mingzhang asked calmly.

The man in black robe curled his lips and snorted coldly:
"Of course I can't."

"So, am I helping the great monk?" Xi Mingzhang asked with a smile.

"Buddhist monks are the most cunning." The black robe faced Wu Tian and clasped his hands together:

"Buddha, this Tang Xuanzang has an unpredictable mind and is cruel and ruthless. His actions also reveal a sense of evil. He also said that we are all unworthy people. This is a plot to sow discord between us. His intention is to be killed. Please judge for yourself, Buddha."

The Black Lotus Saint Envoy also said:

"Buddha, three hundred years ago, everyone knew that Tang Sanzang, the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty in the East, went through 81 trials and tribulations just to obtain the true scriptures of Tathagata."

"How could someone who believes so deeply in Tathagata's teachings and has such a deep relationship with Sun Wukong as a disciple, so easily surrender to the Buddha?"

"Master, please listen carefully. First, the black-robed monk, who is a bald man, kept saying bad things about me. He even said something about Buddhist monks. He didn't realize that the Buddhism today is not the same as before. It's because Tathagata has passed away. You are the future Buddha. You really don't have the slightest awareness of being a Buddhist disciple."

"As for what the Black Lotus Saint Envoy said, I only saw that I wanted to go to the West to obtain the scriptures, and that I was Sun Wukong's teacher, but I had no idea why I wanted to obtain the scriptures back then."

Xi Mingzhang looked calm:
"In the past, it was to spread Buddhism, save all living beings, and help the world."

"Although they have obtained the so-called true scriptures, they have not been able to save all living beings, nor can they help the world. Even the Tang Dynasty has ceased to exist."

"How can I believe in the Buddha's teachings? How can I practice them?"

The black robe questioned:

"What would you do if Sun Wukong became your enemy?"

Xi Mingzhang spoke as a matter of course:
"You guys don't know how to call yourself the great monk's confidant. You are so arrogant that you don't even take the gods and Buddhas seriously. You can deal with Sun Wukong yourself."

"And I will of course stay in the Great Hall, receive more teachings from the Great Monk, and hope to see a brand new Three Realms in the future."

"Anyway, most of you are suspicious and believe that I am using a temporary solution. If I leave Lingshan, I will collude with Sun Wukong."

"No need to say more. I will not disappoint anyone who is willing to convert." Wu Tian said with a smile:

"Xuanzang, you just stand aside."

"This humble monk will follow the order of the great monk."

Just as Xi Mingzhang stood aside, Guanyin frowned and said:
"Xuanzang, do you really want to abandon the righteous path and join the devil's way, and associate with demons and evil?"

Xi Mingzhang smiled and said:

"The Buddhist verses left by Tathagata, 'Everyone has one mind, only I have two minds' and 'the universe is clear and bright', the two minds return to one can be said to echo each other, add the two together, I am afraid that the great fortune of heaven and earth that the monk Wu Tian has, is thirty-three years."

"From the fact that his true spirit was reborn into a mortal family, we can also know that Tathagata did not truly pass away, but was reincarnated into a mortal family. He also said that he would return to the Pure Land and take charge of Lingshan again."

"Only the Son and the System can resolve this calamity. The two characters "Zi" and "Xi" together form the character "Sun", which means the person who can resolve this calamity is Sun Wukong."

When Xi Mingzhang said this, Guanyin and the others were in a state of confusion. They were surprised that their Buddha had not really entered Nirvana, but they also had great doubts. Wu Tian showed an interested expression on his face and asked Xi Mingzhang the questions in their hearts:

"Xuanzang, you have realized the destiny of heaven and earth, so why are you unwilling to wait patiently for the return of Tathagata?"

Xi Mingzhang clasped his hands together:
"Of course, I realized the Buddhist verses left by Tathagata, and I also realized his hypocrisy and selfishness. He is really unworthy of being the leader of all Buddhas."

"At the critical moment, even if his strength was not as good as that of the great monk, he still had the strength to fight. However, he did not even dare to fight. He left behind a confusing Buddhist verse and fled decisively."

"What a great Tathagata Buddha! Could it be that he didn't realize that the Buddhas, saints, bodhisattvas and arhats who stayed in Lingshan Mountain might be in danger of collapse?"

"No, he thought of it, but he didn't care."

"Or maybe they are complacent. In this disaster, those who are disloyal and dishonest will betray the Buddhist world. Those who are mediocre and incompetent will not survive. This is fate."

"It would also allow me to keep the Buddhas, Saints, Bodhisattvas and Arhats who are loyal to me and have great abilities."

"By avoiding disaster, he not only saved himself, but also cleansed the Buddhist world. He is worthy of being the chief of all Buddhas. Just like the Buddhist teachings he talked about, they are all better spoken than sung. It is ridiculous."

When these words were spoken, many Buddhas, saints, Bodhisattvas and Arhats were shocked, and extremely complicated expressions appeared on their faces.

Guanyin sighed:
"Xuanzang, you must have misunderstood the Buddha. There must be some deep reason why he did this."

Xi Mingzhang replied indifferently:

"Given Tathagata's deep character of being the only one who is supreme and sticks to his word, there must be a deeper reason. You should ask him about this. How can I know?"

"Xuanzang's words touch my heart. Tathagata is always hypocritical." Wu Tian looked down and said:

"I ask again, are you willing to convert?"

Guanyin took a step forward, her expression firm:

"Don't waste your words. How can we convert to Buddhism without good intentions?"

"Bodhisattva, why do you say that the great monk is a Buddha without good thoughts?" Xi Mingzhang shook his head and laughed:

"Now he has not hurt you in the slightest, which is the greatest kindness."

Maitreya Buddha angrily shouted:
"Xuanzang, I thought you had regained your enlightenment and were very different from before, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn and stubborn. Now you have even reached the point where you can't tell right from wrong, good from evil."

"I never thought that your understanding of Buddhism is not as profound as mine." Xi Mingzhang said calmly:

"In Buddhism, good and evil are determined by whether to harm others or not. Good is based on benefiting others, while evil is based on harming others."

"The so-called good law is that which can bring about happiness, and is called good. The evil law is that which can bring about harmful results, and is called evil."

"Although hurting others is evil, it is not the key point. What I, the Buddhist sect, value more is four words: hurt yourself."

"If you encounter something, regardless of whether you express your resentment or actually take action, as long as you have such strong hatred that it hurts yourself, it is considered evil in Buddhism."

"On the other hand, a rational attitude, an open mind, something that is beneficial to oneself, and so on, are called good."

He glanced at the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats in the hall and continued:

"Now the great monk wants to accept you with a rational attitude and an open mind. Isn't that good enough?"
