Chapter 159: Willing to Die for Your Majesty!
Manjushri's voice was so light that only Fahai could hear it clearly.
After he said this, he took a step back slightly, and looked at the Sanzang Master in front of him, wanting to see how his expression would change.
"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south."
He just saw Fahai chanting a Buddha horn softly, and the Buddha who was about to stretch out instantly retreated, and the bulging immortal yuan mana continued to condense, enveloping between his chest and abdomen, and then went straight to the spiritual platform.
Hmmm-
At this moment, Manjushri seemed to see a round of brokenness looming behind Fahai's head, and it disappeared in a flash.
"The little monk dared to ask again, but the Buddha himself said that the Bodhisattva would send down two years of drought?" Fahai looked directly into Manjushri's eyes, and he maintained this rare sanity, wanting to ask clearly.
Manjushri Bodhisattva's voice is small, but Fahai's voice is loud, everyone present can hear it, seeing everyone's eyes converge, Manjushri Bodhisattva has a trace of frustration, although this golden cicada tenth wheel is still a straight temperament, but it is a little less impulsive than before, a little more restrained.
Otherwise, when he heard his words just now, he should have been out of proportion, how could there be such a confrontation at this moment?
"Please also ask the Bodhisattva to solve your doubts." Fahai asked.
Manjushri just pinched a few seals in his hand, and then he was silent, and he didn't mean to answer Fahai directly.
"Why don't the Bodhisattvas speak up." Fahai saw that Manjushri had hidden right and wrong in his hands, and his face became more and more unkind, and he immediately said: "The little monk is only shallow in learning, and he can't understand the true meaning of the Bodhisattva's seal... If the Bodhisattva is embarrassed, Wukong. ”
"The disciple is here."
The Great Sage hurriedly stepped forward to listen to the order.
"Quickly go to Lingshan to see Rulai, and there is no need to say much about the side, just ask about the two-year drought..."
"Amitabha." Before Fahai could finish his words, Manjushri finally interrupted with a Buddha name, only to see him slowly speak: "If you come to the Dharma, only ask the green lion to drown the lord of the country in the well to survive the flood for three years, and to complete the cause and effect of the poor monk for three days." The drought of those two years was the initiative of the poor monks. ”
In fact, after listening to Manjushri's words, Fahai did not relax because of this.
Is it really that important as the Buddha said?
He just subconsciously wanted to find an excuse, an excuse to defend the Buddha... In other words, deep down in his heart, he didn't want to see the Buddha he sincerely worshipped at the beginning.
Along the way, Fahai only felt that today's Buddha is less and less like the Buddha who sincerely worshiped when he first entered Buddhism.
Or is it that the Buddha I sincerely worship was not the Lingshan Buddha from the beginning?
The Buddha said to practice compassion.
But whether it is the Buddha or Manjushri, what they did in the country of Wuji, for the mortals of this country, is it really compassion?
What kind of scene would it have been if it was not Manjushri Bodhisattva who came to cross this black chicken country, but Guanyin Bodhisattva?
Thinking about the way of Guanyin Bodhisattva's great mercy, he will definitely be moved by the heart of the lord of the black chicken country to love the people and work hard, maybe he will simply give up his heart to go west, and let him govern the country and the people here, which is the fulfillment. At this point, Fahai suddenly understood in his heart. It turns out that it's not just that no one is perfect, these immortals and Buddhas... Don't they also have their own temperaments?
Fahai couldn't help but ask the Bodhisattva: "Since the Bodhisattva is known as the Great Wisdom, why did he do such an unwise thing." ”
"Sanzang." Manjushri only replied to the Fahai: "You asked me what a human being is, but now the poor monk asks you, do you know what an immortal, what a god, and what a Buddha is?" ”
Fahai thought for a moment and said, "Those who are free are immortals, those who lead the heavens are gods, and those who practice compassion are Buddhas." ”
Manjushri said again, "What is compassion? ”
Fahai replied: "It is merciful to give happiness to all beings; Bringing out the suffering of all sentient beings is sorrowful. ”
"Amitabha." Manjushri sighed lightly and said, "There are many people who know this word, and how many people can do it?" ”
"Very few."
"You have traveled all the way to the west, and you can see the people, you can know the character of the lord of the country, and you should not get a spiritual mountain and positive fruit."
Fahai did not refute this: "Deserve it."
"If he had crossed him before, he would have been nothing more than a vajra arhat, and he would not have gone from me, but he would have been a king. But I just want him to go through such a calamity, and then practice state affairs in the world after he is freed from difficulties, and only when the path is perfect, and the poor monk crosses him again, what should he do? ”
"What does the Bodhisattva mean by that?"
Manjushri Bodhisattva said at this moment: "My name is great wisdom, the monks are educated, this time he first suffered, and then he has a feeling, once he turns into the spiritual mountain, he can get the Bodhisattva fruit... If he crosses into the Buddha Gate with the Bodhisattva fruit, how can the people of this country be transformed? It can be said that the blessing is in the thousand autumns, the merit is in ten thousand lives, and his black chicken country can be turned into his Buddha country, and from then on, the subjects and people of a country will get rid of suffering and get true happiness. ”
Manjushri's words only caused the audience to fall into silence, and many ministers of civil and military affairs had strange ideas.
It is also the words of the Bodhisattva that are too shocking, how can they not make waves in their hearts?
Great ingenuity is not to do, great wisdom is not to worry.
Manjushri's great wisdom seems to be exactly this truth, but Fahai only heard a small implication from Manjushri's words: I am all for your good, and you should have done what I said.
I also heard another layer: I have a big fist, and I have the final say.
"The Bodhisattva's method of painting cakes is also quite successful, and in order to get out of it, he does not hesitate to promise a Bodhisattva fruit." After all, the great sage is not a serious Buddhist, and he has no respect for Manjushri... Maybe he had a point, but when he heard it, it was uncomfortable.
Bajie also snorted: "The Bodhisattva is too stingy, why don't you just promise a Buddha position?" Oh, now that people want to demolish your Buddhist temple and smash your Buddha statues, do you think of buying people's hearts by such means? ”
"A bodhisattva is a plan to punish the mind." Wujing also said on the side: "If such words are spread, I am afraid that it will cause a country to boil, and the subjects will be blamed on Your Majesty, saying that he has cut off the opportunity for the people to live in bliss. ”
The little white dragon couldn't help but say: "The Bodhisattva only said that the merit is complete and then crosses him, this consummation is not consummated, isn't it the Bodhisattva himself who has the final say?" Who knows if you're saying this or not? ”
The words of several disciples of Master Sanzang reached the ears of the ministers, making them even more riotous, after all, they are all living people, and they must also have a bias. For example, the officials who have been promoted under the Qingshi False King in the past three years are more inclined to the Bodhisattva.
And the old ministers stood behind their majesty without hesitation.
There are also some centrists who are wise and self-protecting, they don't want to get involved in this kind of useless dispute, and with this effort, it is better to think of a few more beneficial policies for the people, and solve a few difficult eucalyptus for the imperial court.
As for who wins and who loses ... It doesn't matter.
At this time, Manjushri seemed to be unforgiving, and said to the lord of the country: "I can accept you as a disciple, you can enter the spiritual mountain with me, and once the state government can be handed over to the prince, and when the poor monk helps you to attain the bodhisattva fruit, you can come and transform the people." ”
Looking at Manjushri, who had finished all his good words, Fahai finally knew why he claimed to be the first in Buddhist debate, and why he always stayed with the Buddha and rarely went out to walk.
This is also a mouth that refuses to admit defeat, and it is obviously unreasonable, and from what he hears, it seems to be exactly this truth. Right and wrong, black and white, all between his lips and teeth.
Acting like this, dealing with the monarchs and ministers of the Wuji Kingdom is naturally easy to capture, but when you encounter a grumpy... What the consequences will be, but it's really hard to say.
After all, there is a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in the Three Realms, who knows what powerful characters will emerge?
The lord of the country is determined at the moment, and even though Manjushri Bodhisattva said it wildly, he still insisted on his root nature and did not relax, "Don't work hard Bodhisattva, and the widow has ordered it, I will not worship the immortal Buddha from now on." ”
It is also Master Sanzang who is here, so that Manjushri Bodhisattva does not dare to use the Buddha's forcible powers, otherwise whether he can stick to his heart is really two words. He is also good at this method, but he has always used it sparingly, and if he does not encounter someone who has gone astray and has been saved, he will not use this method easily.
Fahai cushioned for him: "Aren't you afraid that you will evil a lot of immortals and Buddhas because of this?" It won't be as simple as a two-year drought that will submerge you in water for three years.
The Great Sage also said on the side: "How can the Immortal Buddha method be a mortal like you to compete with? If you don't respect the immortals and Buddhas alone, what if you have affected the people for a while? ”
Bajie spread his hands and said, "Oh, it turns out that it has to be a fist to speak..."
Seeing this, Sha Wujing sighed lightly and said, "If the Immortal Buddha is so excessive, what kind of spiritual mountain will he go to?" I'm afraid that there is not much true scripture to be desired, Master, let's go back to Chang'an, Master, you will open the altar and teach the Fa yourself. ”
Xiao Bailong shook the spear in his hand and said coldly: "The immortal Buddha is excessive, so please ask the master to call the shots." Second Senior Brother, do you think the fists of Master and Senior Brother are big? ”
Bajie thought for a while and said, "I think I can have a chance to speak, but... Can the left and right be bigger than the Jade Emperor Buddha? ”
After listening to the words of their master and apprentice, the lord of the country knew that he was stating to himself, especially when he heard that if he called the immortal Buddha to come to disaster because of this, wouldn't it be that he would still be the people... His previous loneliness almost dissipated and turned into retreat.
In the face of the bullies who oppressed the people, he dared to pick up a knife and gun;
In the face of the brutal and violent cool officials, he also dared to point a sword at his head;
In the face of a debaucherous and brutal tyrant, he can rise up—
Just to let the people have a good life, but he never thought that the peaceful life that he had worked so hard to achieve would be no match for the immortal Buddha.
But now facing the Manjushri in front of him, he is a little afraid... He was afraid... If he is alone, he has no concern. But he is not a person now, and he still bears the subjects and people of a country.
"Father!"
The little prince knelt in front of his father at some point, and said: "The child is willing to be a pawn of his father, try the sword of the immortal Buddha, and I am willing to use my blood to judge the immortal Buddha, and use my blood to let the people see the true appearance of these immortal Buddhas." ”
Wow –
A group of generals also bowed down in front of the lord of the black rooster country, and said in unison: "The last general is willing to die for His Majesty!" ”
Seeing that the generals were one step ahead of them, the ministers also left those cranky thoughts just now behind, and said one after another: "The ministers are willing to follow Your Majesty." ”
The civil and military officials all knelt down, and the guards of the forbidden army also knelt on the ground with a group of internal attendants, followed by the harem concubines and maids, who shouted over and over again: "We are willing to follow Your Majesty!" ”
The sound became louder and louder, from the palace to the outside of the palace, the people heard the city from the shouting, although they did not know why, but they still knelt down and began to shout, at first it was a mess, one after another, but then it gradually became one, only one sentence remained: "I am willing to die for Your Majesty!" ”
As for the Bodhisattva I just worshipped... It's long gone.
The eyes of the lord of the country are moist, and his heart is moved, as the king of a country, what do you want?
Isn't that the heart of the people?
