Chapter 329 The Truth
He suddenly felt something in his heart, and he calculated lightly with his finger, and in an instant he understood the cause of the matter.
Buddha Tathagata couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Six-eared macaque, actually joined the Taoist sect and became Lin Nan's disciple?"
"Buddha, what's bothering you?" A Bodhisattva nearby noticed something was wrong with Buddha Tathagata and asked softly.
The Tathagata Buddha came back to his senses and nodded slightly: "Among the 81 difficulties, another one has changed because of Chechi Grand Master Lin Nan. This Lin Nan is indeed a big obstacle for our Buddhist sect."
"That great master again?" Upon hearing this, Venerable Jiaye frowned, his dissatisfaction with Lin Nan evident in his words, "That great master Chechi has repeatedly ruined my plans, and now he has even established the Dao Court, intending to establish a Dao country on earth..."
Venerable Kasyapa said in a heavy tone: "If this continues, Chechi will become a great threat to our Buddhist sect."
"Buddha, do we have to continue to tolerate it?" Venerable Kashyapa said with reluctance in his tone.
Buddha Tathagata sat on the lotus platform with a calm expression: "Don't act rashly. This is the time when the Chechi Dao Temple is just being established. It is the time when all the Taoist gods are paying attention to it. We should not take any radical actions."
He pondered for a moment, then continued: "However, we can find another way."
Upon hearing this, a bodhisattva immediately asked, "Buddha, is there any roundabout way to stop the car from going too far?"
The Tathagata Buddha smiled slightly and said, "Although the trend of devaluing Buddhism is prevalent in Chechi, it is currently expanding rapidly. The power of Taoism has not yet completely penetrated every corner of Chechi."
He slowly pointed out: "We can build Buddhist temples in the outskirts of Chechi and spread Buddhism to the people. In this way, we can slowly infiltrate and gradually change the customs of Chechi."
"As long as the time is ripe, our Buddhist sect will be able to regain control of the overall situation." The words of Tathagata Buddha were full of confidence.
"What the Buddha said is absolutely right!" Bodhisattvas and Arhats responded one after another, volunteering to take on this important task.
The Tathagata Buddha nodded and immediately appointed several Bodhisattvas and Arhats to go to Chechi to carry out this task. As high-ranking Buddhist monks, they naturally did not need to worry about being demoted to hard labor. What they had to consider was how to save the people of Chechi, which was exactly what Buddhism was good at.
……
In Jiuji Mountain, the six-eared macaque Yuan Renxin meditates and practices, but he can listen to the sounds of the three realms. Even if he does not leave his house, he can know all kinds of things happening in the outside world.
"Master." The six-eared macaque called softly, and then reported the latest situation to Lin Nan, "Many Buddhist temples suddenly appeared in the outskirts of Chechi. They were built by the Bodhisattva Arhat of Lingshan. They intend to spread Buddhism in Chechi and change the current situation of respecting Taoism and despising Buddhism."
His magical power allows him to hear throughout the three realms, but this time he did not learn the news by eavesdropping on the conversation in Lingshan. Instead, he witnessed the emergence of Buddhist temples in the marginal areas of Chechi with his own eyes, thus confirming this unusual trend.
Hearing this, Lin Nan nodded: "This move by the Buddhist sect is not surprising."
"Master, do you need me to help?" Six-eared Macaque asked eagerly, "I can destroy those Buddhist temples and stop them from preaching in Chechi."
Lin Nan shook his head: "If we take action first, Buddhism will definitely fight back with more violent means."
"At this moment, this is just a dispute over Taoism, not a dispute over magic or life and death. We cannot allow supernatural forces to intervene." Lin Nan said in a firm tone.
The six-eared macaque was so anxious that he scratched his head and said, "Are we just going to watch the Buddhists preach in Chechi and convert our people?"
Lin Nan shook his head again: "Of course not. Renxin, I need you to do something for me."
When the six-eared macaque heard this, he immediately perked up: "Master, please give me your orders. I will do my best."
"Before that, I will teach you a treasure first." Lin Nan said slowly, and then taught Liu'er Mihou the projection technique and how to use the projector.
……
In the marginal areas of Chechi, with the rapid expansion of the country, new land is being reclaimed every day. The people are very motivated and are heading to the border to open up wasteland and cultivate the land.
However, this rapid expansion also brought some problems. The people in the border areas were relatively lacking in daily life and entertainment, and it was this lack that gave the Buddhists an opportunity to take advantage of it. They built Buddhist temples in the border areas and took the opportunity to spread Buddhism, attracting many people to visit.
There is such an inexplicably appeared Buddhist temple in the eastern part of Chechi. In the temple, a kind-looking abbot is preaching to the people, and his words are vivid and fascinating.
At this time, a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and with a hairy face and a thunder god mouth walked into the temple. He was the Six-eared Macaque, now the guardian disciple of the Jiuji lineage, Yuan Renxin.
There were still some people wandering around outside the temple. Although the six-eared macaque looked strange, in Chechi, a place that worshipped Taoism, people wearing Taoist robes were highly respected.
Therefore, when they saw the Six-Eared Macaque, even the common people who came to the Buddhist temple to listen to the sutras would bow respectfully.
"Greetings, Taoist priest." The people said in unison.
Liu'er Macaque nodded, enjoying the feeling of being respected, but he did not forget his mission.
"I am here on the orders of my master Lin Nan to bring a 'good show' to the people." The six-eared macaque said loudly.
"My master Lin Nan? Is he the disciple of the great national master?" a commoner asked curiously.
"Yes, the disciple of the Grand Master!" Six-Eared Macaque confirmed.
Hearing this, the people around were moved, and some even knelt down. Lin Nan's power in Chechi State was evident.
Even the people who were listening to the sutras and burning incense in the temple rushed out and knelt on the ground in fear. They felt guilty, after all, in Chechi, a place where Taoism was respected and Buddhism was despised, they were considered heretics for coming to the Buddhist temple to listen to the sutras.
Liu'er Mihou didn't care about these things. He kept his master's instructions in mind.
He just waved his hand lightly, and a large curtain appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, causing the people around him to exclaim in surprise.
The next moment, a series of images appeared on the screen, which was even more amazing.
"What is this?" some people asked curiously.
"There's someone! There's someone in that painting!" another citizen exclaimed.
"This painting moves, it's so lifelike!" People talked about it, shocked and curious about this new thing.
"Quiet!" Six-eared Macaque said loudly, "This is a spell to trace back to the origin and restore the past. It can reproduce what happened in the past.
What is shown here is what my master experienced in the past. Please watch quietly and maintain order. Don't let anyone disturb the magic!"
With the title of the great master's disciple, the words of the six-eared macaque were very effective. The people quieted down and watched the scene on the screen in an orderly manner.
A river appeared on the curtain. A commoner recognized the river and said, "I remember this river. It is not far from the capital. My hometown is nearby."
"I know that too. This is what the river looked like in the past. Now it has turned into a big river, and the Chechi River God is in it." The people whispered.
The scene on the screen continued to play. Suddenly, a golden light appeared in the clear river water. "What is that golden light?" someone asked curiously.
As the noise outside grew louder, the people inside the temple came out to watch.
In the temple, most of the people who had originally stayed there had dispersed in a flash, and the place became much emptier. The abbot, who was the incarnation of an arhat, felt helpless and had to walk out of the temple slowly to see what was happening outside.
He walked out of the temple, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the projection on the big screen. The picture was extremely realistic, and it was accompanied by bursts of sound.
On the screen, a golden shadow flickered in the river. The arhat took a closer look and couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart: "Huh? That seems to be the goldfish in the lotus pond of Guanyin Bodhisattva."
On the screen, the picture continued to flow. In an instant, golden light burst out from the water, transforming into a half-human, half-goldfish monster, calling himself the King of Inspiration. It looked extremely ferocious, threatening the safety of the people.
"Monster! Monster! It's a monster!" The people looked at the scene on the screen and shouted in fear. They saw the King of Inspiration grabbing an old farmer, showing his cruelty. The people shouted in fear and worried for the old farmer.
The next moment, the goldfish spirit king wanted to eat the old farmer's body without saying a word.
The people cried out in shock, expressing their concerns for the old farmer. Some timid women even covered their eyes in fear, not daring to look at the bloody scene.
These people, watching such a movie-like scene for the first time, were deeply attracted and felt as if they were there, with a full sense of immersion.
Fortunately, after the goldfish spirit bit off one of the old farmer's shoulders, it abandoned the old farmer aside, perhaps because it disliked the old farmer's body because it was too tough and not as tender as a boy or girl.
The ferocious appearance of the goldfish demon was fully displayed in front of the people. They could even clearly see the miserable situation of the old farmer's half arm being chewed by the goldfish demon's fine and ferocious teeth.
This scene frightened some of the children present and made them cry.
At this moment, a sword flashed across the curtain and landed on the side. The figure was the well-known Grand Master Lin Nan.
"Great Imperial Master!"
"It's the Grand Master!"
Suddenly, the atmosphere on the scene changed, becoming frenetic and exciting. The excited shouts of the people could be clearly heard from behind the curtain.
Afterwards, the people watched intently as the great master Lin Nan displayed his supernatural power and fought with the goldfish spirit.
"it is good!"
"The great master's magical powers are invincible!"
"Exorcising demons and monsters, this is our great national master!"
The people were full of praise. However, soon, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly cooled down, or more accurately, it was stunned.
Because on the big screen, the conversation between Lin Nan and the goldfish spirit revealed a shocking message.
The extremely ferocious goldfish spirit Ling Da Jin, who loved to eat young boys and girls, was actually the goldfish raised in the lotus pond of the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea!
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva? Isn't she compassionate? How could she give birth to such a vicious monster?" Some people murmured to themselves, finding it difficult to accept this fact, as if their worldview collapsed in an instant.
The audience present were all people from Chechi State. Although they worshipped Taoism, they also had some admiration for Buddhism.
Otherwise, they would not have come to this Buddhist temple to listen to the sutras and burn incense. Therefore, they were not unfamiliar with the famous Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara.
It was precisely because they were so familiar that the images and sounds on the curtain at this moment made them feel so surprised and difficult to accept.
However, Lin Nan's figure and voice were so real in that picture that there was no doubt about it.
"This..." On the other side, the expression of the temple abbot who was transformed by the Arhat changed. He was already aware of the huge impact that this action might bring.
Meanwhile, the scene on the screen continued to play. The goldfish spirit revealed its origins, attempting to threaten Lin Nan. However, Lin Nan remained unmoved and continued to swing his magic sword to slash at the goldfish spirit!
This scene made the people watching couldn't help but cheer in unison!
"Great! You are worthy of being our Che Chi's great master!"
On the screen, the scene of Lin Nan slaying the goldfish spirit with his magic sword caused the people to cheer and applaud. They were completely immersed in this thrilling scene.
Even the young child who had just been frightened to tears by the brutality of the goldfish spirit was now staring with wide eyes and clapping his hands in approval.
The people were cheering, but the scene on the curtain did not stop there.
I saw golden Buddha light falling down, and a lotus platform slowly flew over, with an extremely sacred figure standing on it.
The figure was holding a jade bottle, and his appearance was well-known to everyone and very familiar.
"Bodhisattva?"
There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd of people watching. They all recognized that the person who appeared on the screen was the well-known Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Although Chechi Guozun has been promoting Taoism and denigrating Buddhism for a long time, the older generation still remembers this Guanyin Bodhisattva in their hearts.
In the curtain, Guanyin Bodhisattva slowly descended. She looked at the body of the goldfish spirit on the ground and began to ask about Lin Nan's origins.
During this inquiry, Guanyin Bodhisattva was high above, suspended in the air. However, what the common people saw was from a bottom-up perspective, and they could clearly feel Guanyin's condescending attitude.
Inevitably, this questioning gave people a sense of "aggression". She even seemed to be questioning someone, revealing the fact that the goldfish spirit was raised by her.
"It's actually true..." Some people couldn't help but mutter to themselves before the curtain.
“Could this be the real Guanyin Bodhisattva?”
"Then Guanyin Bodhisattva raised a man-eating demon, and yet he still questioned the Grand Master?"
Gradually, the mentality of the people present changed. They began to re-examine the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva in their hearts.
On the big screen, Lin Nan faced the questioning and condescending Guanyin Bodhisattva and asked: "Are you the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, or the Bodhisattva who is good at raising man-eating monsters?"
As soon as this question was asked, the people in front of the curtain seemed to be touched by something, and their hearts were surging. If we use a more modern word to describe it, just this sentence alone made the people present "burn up", and their blood boiled.
"That's right, who is this Bodhisattva?"
Lin Nan's question completely resonated with the people. They all inexplicably shared a common hatred for the enemy, as if they had found a common enemy. (End of this chapter)
