Chapter 103: A Plan of 100 Million Merit!
And at this time.
For Chen Wei, if he wants to reach the value of 100 million, it must be an extremely difficult thing, and it is not easy to do.
Even if he is now the king of the daughter country, he has hundreds of thousands of people of the daughter country under his command, and they can worship him according to his requirements.
But this matter is also difficult to last.
One of the main reasons is that people's patience is limited.
Perhaps at the beginning, they would worship Chen Wei with great devotion and provide him with merit.
But after a long time, the patience of the people gradually wore out, and at that time, it was a little difficult for these ordinary people to continue to worship Chen Wei devoutly.
Even if Chen Wei used his status as a king to force all the citizens of the daughter country to make offerings.
But this will not help either, and there is even the possibility of a backlash.
Because the most important thing to do in order to gain merit is that the person who bows down must be pious in his heart, and only then will there be merit in return.
Otherwise, even those people on the surface are kowtowing to Chen Wei's statue.
But in fact, there will be no merit to offer, and Chen Wei still can't get any merit.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Wei wants to accumulate a full 100 million merit points at the moment, which is bound to be an extremely difficult problem.
Just a mere daughter country could not satisfy his idea of accumulating merit quickly.
Only by purifying the world and spreading one's reputation to more people can one quickly accumulate merit and be worshiped by more people.
In order to achieve this, it is necessary to expand Chen Wei's influence in order to meet the current requirements.
It's like the Buddha of the Western Heavens, and the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Court, the reason why they have been able to reach such a point is that their strength is high.
One of the main reasons is that their reputation can be said to be known to women and children.
Whether it is the dragon descending Arhat, Manjushri Bodhisattva; Guanyin Bodhisattva, Buddha Rulai, or the Jade Emperor; the Queen Mother and the Third Prince of Nezha; Erlang God Yang Jian and so on.
They all have their own experiences, and all kinds of stories are passed down the streets.
Even women and children knew about them, and everyone knew about them.
It is for this reason that many people worship them religiously.
Even though many people know about these things, they don't care about these immortals and the like, and only a few worship them devotedly.
But as long as the base of the masses is large enough, even if it is only a small part, the accumulated value is extremely staggering.
Those Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Court, as well as those Buddhas of the Western Heavens, also used this method to increase their influence.
Even at this moment, Chen Wei had already figured out why the Buddha in the West would spend so much energy to complete the incident of Journey to the West.
The matter of learning scriptures could have been done very simply for the Buddha.
The easiest way is for him to use his great mana, he only needs to stretch out his hand, and he can hand over the scriptures in his hand to Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Or you can also ask the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Court to send an envoy to the Western Heaven to obtain it, which will also only take a short time.
It even takes a few moments to complete the acquisition of the scriptures.
Even if these two reasons are thrown away, from another point of view, Tang Seng's great apprentice Monkey King, a somersault cloud is 108,000 miles.
And Chang'an, which set off from Tang Seng, reached the distance of the Great Leiyin Temple in the West Heaven was exactly 108,000 miles.
In other words, if you really want to get the scriptures, you only need Sun Wukong to flip two heels to complete this event.
But the main reason why they didn't do it was not the scriptures, but the ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulty.
This is what the real Buddha cared about, and he needed to use these tribulations to preach to the many people around him.
What is it preaching? It was Tang Seng and others who did good deeds as disciples of the Buddha, eradicated tribulations for them, and purified the world's affairs.
In this way, even if it is not the Buddha who really rescues them, but because Tang Seng and others are Buddhist disciples.
So much so that the status of the entire Buddhism has become exalted in the eyes of the people.
To know.
Originally, in many countries such as Chechi, Daughter, and Wuji, they did not believe in Buddhism, and even Buddhism was greatly suppressed.
Under such circumstances, Tang Seng took the four masters and apprentices through this place to solve these troubles for the local people and for the king and emperor.
This is bound to make the people grateful to them, so that they also have a high opinion of Buddhism.
In this way, the matter of the Buddha wanting to promote Buddhism in the future will naturally become much simpler.
This is also the real purpose of learning scriptures from the west, and those scriptures are just an excuse.
The purpose is to let the tenth life of the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, that is, the real Tang Seng, take his master and apprentice all the way.
The journey of 108,000 miles, publicizing the deeds of Buddhism, also made the momentum of Buddhism soar.
For this point, those heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court are also very clear.
Including the Jade Emperor and the Emperor's Mother, they have long seen through the purpose of Buddhism.
It's just that at present, the way of heaven is fueling the prestige of Buddhism, and the power of Buddhism is destined to rise, and they can't disobey the will of heaven, so they have to obey.
But in this, even so, they have to make some profit out of it.
This is also the main reason why the Heavenly Soldiers of the Heavenly Court will choose to participate in the Journey to the West to learn the scriptures.
It's like that time.
Tang Seng and others went through hardships and fell into the hands of the green cow spirit, and they were invincible for a long time.
Even if the Buddha of the West Heaven was invited, in front of the Vajra in the hands of the green cow spirit, they were all taken away from the magic weapon and could not defeat the other party.
In the end, the Buddha came forward, took out two gold essences the size of gold mountains, and handed them to Taishang Laojun.
In this way, in the end, Taishang Laojun really came forward and took back the magic weapon of the green cow essence, which can be regarded as Tang Seng and others who have survived the ordeal.
This is undoubtedly a huge gain for Taishang Laojun.
With so much gold essence, it can provide a lot of help to his personal cultivation.
And that's just one of the points, a superficial exchange of interests.
Behind the scenes, no one can say how many transactions the Western Heavenly Buddha had made with those heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court.
On the surface of the Journey to the West, everything is glamorous, and the monks from the Tang Dynasty walked 108,000 miles on foot, all the way to the Dalei Temple to obtain scriptures.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is an incomparably sacred act.
Even if you just hear about it, it will make people admire.
