Chapter 8: The Holy Protoss
When he heard that the golden cicada had returned safely from Dongtu, Rulai did not show a happy look on his face, but a worried look. He sent Jin Chanzi to Dongtu to spy on customs and people, but he actually sent it out when there was no one under him available. But he was afraid that the credit of the golden cicada would be too great, and he felt very uncomfortable. Although other people can also do this, but after all, they are not as careful and thoughtful as Jin Chanzi, and they can think of everything and may know some things that cannot be exposed. If Jin Chanzi can handle everything, and everything is handed over to Jin Chanzi, Rulai will feel that he has been set aside. And the Buddhist cultivation of the golden cicada is not far from that of Rulai. With time, it is possible that the golden cicada will destroy him like Yuan Shi Tianzun seized power. Even if Jin Chanzi doesn't have this heart, it doesn't mean that others won't instigate him to do so.
Keeping the golden cicada in the temple and watching it from time to time can give you an understanding of the situation of the golden cicada and control the growth of the golden cicada. But sometimes he wants to send Jin Chanzi out, but he can't find a good reason. If the golden cicada is sent to do it just because of some small things, it will lead to the people under his command not getting experience, just a group of rice buckets, and if it is a big thing, sending the golden cicada to do it, and I am afraid that the golden cicada's credit will be too great, and the merit will be high. But if you don't send Jin Chanzi to do anything, everyone will have a big opinion in their hearts, thinking that he is favoritism.
If it was in normal times, Rulai would definitely send Jin Chanzi to envoy to Heavenly Court, but since he knew about the Jade Emperor, Rulai was afraid that he would end up with the three people of Yuan Shi Tianzun, and he was also afraid that those people in Heavenly Court would support Jin Chanzi to take charge of Buddhism. And he sent Jin Chanzi to Dongtu to investigate the customs and human feelings, but in fact, he also had selfish intentions in it. He actually wanted the golden cicada to die in Dongtu. If the people of Heavenly Court found out the identity of the golden cicada, they would definitely not let the golden cicada leave the eastern land alive. And he also used the convenience of hiding his whereabouts to put the golden cicada in an isolated and helpless situation, and the golden cicada was pushed to a dead end. And if the golden cicada can come back from Dongtu, but does not bring back what Rulai wants, Rulai can also take this opportunity to justifiably punish the golden cicada and lock up the golden cicada to eliminate the threat of the golden cicada.
But the golden cicada failed to let Rulai get his wish. Not only did he return safely from Dongtu, but he also brought back information about Dongtu. This made Rulai feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly. The award will only make the golden cicada more and more threatening to himself, and if he does not win, it will make everyone feel cold. Rulai himself is also in a dilemma.
After the golden cicada left, Rulai summoned Jiaye and Ah Wei to discuss how to reward the golden cicada. Ah Da and Jia Ye guessed some clues from Rulai's attitude towards the golden cicada. But the two of them didn't dare to say too much because of the master-apprentice relationship between Rulai and Jin Chanzi, and they had to be jealous of Jin Chanzi's strength. They not only have to say things that do not offend the golden cicada, but also make Rulai satisfied, which really makes the two of them like ants on a hot pot, and also makes them so anxious that they can't help wiping their sweat.
Rulai waited impatiently, frowned, and asked, "You two have thought about it?"
Jia Ye and Ah Wei saw that Rulai's face was not good, and their hearts were sudden. Ah Ao had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Back to the words of the Buddha." The disciple thinks that Venerable Jin Chan has a very high status in our sect, and if he is promoted again, he will reach the Buddha position, but with Venerable Jin Chan's current cultivation and merits, it is not enough to sit in this position. The disciple proposed to exchange the reward. When Ah Ao said the last sentence, he kept watching the change in Rulai's expression.
Rulai didn't react to Ah Yao's words, so Geye had to continue: "Venerable Golden Cicada has such a fruit position at such a young age, and it would not be good if he was promoted to such a fruit position. First, some people will say that you are favoritism and cronyism, second, it may make Venerable Jin Chan too complacent and arrogant, and third, I am afraid that when he is in a higher position, he will not pay attention to his words and deeds and lose the dignity of my teaching, and will cause trouble......"
These two guys seem to keep saying that they are thinking about the golden cicada, but in fact, they are suppressing the golden cicada everywhere. But when they said this, they were also worried, because after all, Jin Chanzi was a personal disciple of Rulai, and it was difficult to say that Rulai would not go to Jin Chanzi.
After listening to the words of these two guys, Rulai understood that these two guys had guessed a little bit of his thoughts, but Rulai didn't say anything. He pondered the words of these two people, and found that some of them could indeed suppress the momentum of the golden cicada.
When Rulai was worried about this matter, there was a sudden knock on the door: "Buddha, the disciple has something to report when he descends the dragon." ”
At this time, Ah Da and Jia Ye were startled, and at this time, someone would actually come to find Rulai. Ru glanced at the nervous-looking two, waved them to the back, and then said to the door, "Come in." What do you have to report?"
Descending the dragon and saluting: "Return to the Buddha." The Holy Divine Race of the Divine Heavens of the Western Heavenly Kingdom has changed again, and it seems that they also have the intention of expanding eastward. ”
After hearing this, Rulai said, "Sure enough...... No one wants to let go of this treasure land. Very well, you did a good job this time, and in a while this seat will pass on your new scriptures. You go down first. I remember to send additional people to keep an eye on my every move in the Divine Heaven, and they will report back to me for any movement. "Rulai is now being annoyed by the affairs of Heavenly Court, Golden Cicada, and the Underworld, but suddenly there is such a thing, which makes him even more annoyed, so he is not in the mood to talk about it in detail, so he has to let the dragon retreat first.
The dragon originally wanted to listen to Rulai in detail, but when he saw Rulai like this, he had no choice but to give up. He folded his hands and saluted Rulai, and then slowly withdrew from the main hall.
After the dragon had gone, Rulai asked the two of them to come out from behind and asked them what they thought of the Divine Heaven. Gaya proposes to let the golden cicada go against the Divine Heaven. After hearing this, he was upset again, and waved them to go back first, while he sat alone in the temple for three days......
A few days later, as soon as the morning dawned, the temple watchman rang the bell to gather everyone. When everyone was ready, he immediately announced: "...... Since Jin Chanzi is the person who knows the situation in Dongtu the best among us, I will send him to Dongtu again this time to serve as my Buddhist Lingshan Immortal Mansion. Then the Maitreya Buddha sits in the Great Lei Yin Temple, and the Burning Buddha watches over the sacred heaven. For the rest, I will take Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva, Eighteen Arhats and others to visit Heaven as guest neighbors. Then he sent a message to the heavenly court. After that, he talked about the Fa for a while and recited the sutras for a while, but when he saw that most of the people were absent-minded, he dispersed early.
In fact, Rulai is reluctant to let Jin Chanzi go to Dongtu again, but this is a tense period of expansion to Dongtu, in case someone else preempts, then the previous efforts will be in vain. Now he had no choice but to send the golden cicada to Dongtu. And he himself was ready to leave for Heavenly Court to negotiate conditions with the Jade Emperor.
When Jin Chanzi heard that Rulai was letting him go to Dongtu alone, he suddenly felt upset. Especially at this critical juncture, he has a sense of rejection. But he has always obeyed Rulai's orders, and this time he still agreed very happily.
After the meeting was dispersed, Jin Chanzi wanted to say goodbye to Rulai, but the Dharma Protector Monk said that Rulai had gone to retreat and practice again, so Jin Chanzi had to write a letter for the Dharma Protector Monk to pass it on to Rulai, and then he went to Dongtu by himself......
