Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1619: Yulan Festival
Maitreya still retained many of his ideas from the Western religious era. As a disciple of a saint and a sect elder, his influence had already plummeted, and he had nothing to lose. He immediately said, "Practice is a personal matter. If you can't resist your inner demons, what does it have to do with the Buddhas?"

Just a few monks died. In his opinion, they could also be called disciples?
Although the Eighteen Levels of Hell in Buddhism are also in the Netherworld, they were jointly opened up by the two saints Jie Yin and Zhunti. Not only is the area vast, but the dangers there are also unpredictable.

There are not so many bright things in the world. The holier the Lingshan Mountain is, the darker the hell is. There are too many sins gathered there. Even Maitreya does not want to go into this cesspool.

He was holding the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree of Zhunti, and recently, thanks to the blessing of the moonlight, he had also seen through the obsession of the Pure World White Lotus. The mere inner demon could not affect him.

The moonlight remained silent and looked at Buddha Many Treasures.

This Buddha of the past always spoke very politically correct words.

"I've heard that there's been constant slaughter in the East, with countless lives lost and people suffering. The Buddha has the Three Treasures Sutra. Why not let that Eastern monk come to my Lingshan Mountain to seek the sutras, so that we can spread Buddhism and save all living beings? What do you think, World Honored One?"

What Duobao Buddha said is similar to what he said when he was Tathagata in his original time and space, saying that the East is "greedy, lustful, and full of killing and fighting." Not to mention him, even Yue Guang would say the same thing now.

Otherwise, you should describe the East as worse and the West as better. Only a fool would come here to seek advice!
In the original time and space, Tang Sanzang set out from Chang'an. The further he went west, the more monsters he encountered. In Chapter 91, the monks in Jinping Prefecture all said, "We are kind-hearted people here, reading scriptures and chanting Buddha's name, hoping to be reborn in your land of China."

Where is Jinping Prefecture? It was a prefecture in the Kingdom of India. Monks from India all wanted to chant sutras well and then be reborn in China. You can imagine how dangerous the West was at that time.

The fact is that the East does not need Mahayana Buddhism at all. Tang Monk used the scriptures of Hinayana Buddhism to help Liu Bochin's father to be reborn. Just reciting two passages of the scriptures had an effect, and old man Liu went straight to a rich family to be reincarnated.

What Duobao Buddha said is absurd, but it is the theoretical basis of the Journey to the West, which cannot be refuted.

He believed that by starting the journey to the West immediately and strengthening the fortune of Buddhism, he would be able to resist the inner demon of Rāhu.

It sounds correct at first glance, but in fact it is just being generous to others. Anyway, it is Moonlight who bears the huge risk, not him.

The moonlight winked at Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Guanyin Bodhisattva slowly stepped out and said, "Buddha, Jin Chanzi's eighth incarnation has just entered the cycle of reincarnation. If we start the journey to obtain the scriptures now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable person to do so."

Lu Ya, who had received Moonlight's instructions long ago, followed suit and said loudly, "The demonic path is rampant, trying to devour the flesh and blood of our Buddhist sect to strengthen itself. The Buddha must not delay, and we must quickly send the Buddhist soldiers into hell to wipe out the demonic leader!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was unable to leave the underworld, but his two disciples were at Mount Lingshan. Upon hearing someone suggest cleansing Hell, they were overjoyed and stepped forward together, saying, "We sincerely request that the Buddha issue a decree to cleanse Hell of all demons, annihilate the evildoers, and bring glory to our Buddhist sect."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the first line of defense against the devil in Buddhism. Even though he has reached a realm comparable to that of a Golden Immortal and has the six pure bamboos of Cundi in his hands, he is still under tremendous pressure. If Lingshan can send out a large army to wash hell with blood, he will be able to rest assured for a long time.

The two disciples were in tears, fearing that Lingshan would not care about the affairs of hell.

Moonlight offered a few soothing words, then looked at the other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. While she was the CEO, these were also the heads of their respective departments. If not for unifying their thinking, she at least needed to understand their perspectives. Some Buddhas and Bodhisattvas supported the campaign against Hell, while others thought they should wait and see for a while. There were all sorts of opinions.

After all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas had expressed their opinions, Manjushri Bodhisattva finally said, "I've heard that Heaven is hosting the Peach Festival and the Heaven Peace Conference. Why don't we also hold a Ullambana Festival at Mount Lingshan to boost morale and rally people's hearts?"

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva then said, "I, the disciple, earnestly request that the Buddha come up to the stage and preach the Dharma, so as to open the wisdom of all the disciples, stabilize their spiritual platforms, and resist the demons in their hearts."

Moonlight Tathagata couldn't help but hesitate. Manjushri and Samantabhadra asked her to hold a banquet and preach respectively. Both methods were good and were in line with her purpose of delaying time and waiting for the journey to the West.

The effect of conquering hell is actually similar to that of preaching. One is urgent and the other is slow, and both can buy Lingshan almost fifty years.

Moonlight calculated with her fingers and said that preaching once could further strengthen the fortune of Buddhism, and the fortune of Buddhism was linked to her KPI.

Speaking of preaching, this time even Duobao Buddha and Maitreya Buddha looked at her. Yue Guang's preaching must be insightful and not nonsense. Today when all the saints have left the prehistoric world, her preaching will be beneficial to Duobao and Maitreya.

On one hand, you have to clean the cesspool, and on the other hand, you have to listen to the great master’s teachings. Which one would a normal person choose?
Moonlight pondered for a moment, then agreed, "What Samantabhadra Bodhisattva said is quite true. I will give a lecture at Mount Lingshan in three years. All my Buddhist disciples are welcome to attend."

All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas put their palms together and bowed: "Amitabha."

Three years later.

Not only Buddhist disciples, but also immortals who had received Buddhist titles like Li Jing and the Four Heavenly Kings came to Lingshan to listen to the Dharma. Nezha did not come, as he had no need to listen to this Dharma.

The Buddhist sect was so powerful that most of the ancient world was alarmed, so that the events such as the Jade Seal given by the Jade Emperor to the Li family in Longxi and the gradual emergence of the Eight Immortals were covered up.

It has been a long time since a powerful person has given a lecture in the prehistoric world. One reason is that he is too proud of what he has, and another is that he lacks his own cultivation.

This time, Lingshan held the Dharma lecture and the Ullambana Festival together.

People are in high spirits when they are happy. If someone treats you to free food and drinks, will you still have any mental problems?
The original purpose of the Ullambana Festival is to enjoy the flowers. A treasure basin, filled with hundreds of exotic flowers and fruits, is displayed for everyone to see. The atmosphere group applauds, and then the fruits are shared. And that concludes the event successfully! All in all, it takes no more than half an hour!
To Moonlight, this was too simple.

She, Deng Chanyu and Fenghuang acted separately, searching for rare flowers and collecting exotic fruits in many worlds of the ancient times. Now their achievements were placed on the guests' tables.

There are countless small worlds under the main world of Honghuang. The environment is different, and the shapes and functions of the flowers and even spiritual materials that grow there are different. After all, there are only a few powerful people who can travel freely in so many worlds. Most Buddhas and Bodhisattvas only come into contact with the little world in front of them. There is no need to go to other worlds, and secondly, they are afraid of trouble.

Yue Guang also took out an unnamed flower that Zhunti picked from the Regret River. Since it had no name, it was easy to deal with. She directly named the flower "Udumbara Flower".
