Chapter 559: The Buddha statue is shattered
"Abbot, it's not good!"
In the Daluo Temple, Master Puhui was still talking to Jiang Liu, and suddenly, a sound of footsteps sounded, and immediately, a young monk came to Master Puhui at a gallop.
"Amitabha, what's wrong? So flustered, what kind of system?" Looking at the young monk who ran over, Master Puhui whispered a Buddha horn in his mouth, and at the same time, scolded in a low voice.
"No, abbot, something is wrong, something is wrong!" said the young monk as he came to Master Puhui and said urgently.
"The Buddha statue of the Fuhu Arhat we worship is broken!"
"What!?Is the Buddha statue broken?Can you tell me clearly, is it broken or cracked?" Hearing the young monk's words, Master Puhui's expression also changed slightly, and immediately, he asked with a solemn expression.
"It's broken!" the young monk nodded heavily, and said with certainty.
......
East, Shengshenzhou, a temple, sparsely populated, incense is not enough, this temple is dedicated to all the Bodhisattvas, there are some Arhat Buddha statues, a few old monks, fasting, Muyu scriptures, life is also leisurely.
On this day, an old monk sat in front of the Buddha statue, knocked on the wooden fish, held a string of prayer beads that he had sharpened with a knife, and recited the scriptures in a low voice.
At this moment, suddenly, there was a strange noise, as if something had cracked.
The old monk who was reciting scriptures in front of this Buddha statue opened his eyes, and following the reputation, it turned out to be a Buddha statue of a tiger arhat placed next to it, which was actually cracked.
Moreover, the crack spread rapidly, until finally, it suddenly collapsed and turned into countless fragments.
"Amitabha Buddha ......" watched the Buddha statue of Fuhu Arhat shattered, the old monk's face was shocked, and he silently pronounced a Buddha name in his mouth, and continued to pluck the prayer beads and recite the scriptures in a low voice.
South, Ganbu Chau.
A magnificent temple dedicated to the Buddha, the Bodhisattvas and the Eighteen Arhats, each of which is decorated in a golden appearance.
The monks who came and went were well-dressed and smoked, and there were many believers.
It's just that at this time, an exclamation sounded, and some pilgrims pointed to the offering platform and exclaimed: "The Buddha statue of Fuhu Arhat is broken!"
With this exclamation, sure enough, the Buddha statue of the Fuhu Arhat, which had been carefully whitewashed by gold powder, was completely shattered.
In such a scene, countless people exclaimed, and the surrounding monks were also shocked and shouted.
The temple, which was originally bustling and lively, instantly became chaotic.
West, Niu Hezhou.
Among the four continents, the predecessor of Buddhism is the Western religion, therefore, the Niuhezhou side is the most prosperous place for Buddhism, with large temples and small temples, like stars.
Among these temples, many temples naturally enshrine the Buddha statues of the eighteen Arhats, and at the same time, almost all the Buddha statues of the Fuhu Arhats have collapsed and shattered.
This incident made countless monks in the temple panic and did not know why.
On the side of Da Lei Yin Temple, the atmosphere is also a little solemn.
Traveling to the west to learn the scriptures is a great tribulation of heaven and earth, but anyone who has some insight will understand the horror of this immeasurable calamity.
It's just that since the westward journey to learn the scriptures, the Fuhu Arhat has died in response to the catastrophe, which has shocked the entire Da Lei Yin Temple.
Although the Fuhu Arhat is only an Arhat position, it is a well-known existence among Arhats after all, just like the four Bodhisattvas in the Bodhisattva Fruit Position.
Unexpectedly, today's Fuhu Arhat actually responded to the catastrophe? This is the first person in Buddhism to respond to the catastrophe, right?
Although the Muzha envoy under the Guanyin seat was robbed before, he could only be regarded as a messenger of Guanyin Bodhisattva after all, and he was not an official member of the entire Buddhist sect.
Only those who have been ordained Buddha, Bodhisattva and Arhat can be considered official members of the Buddhist Sect.
Regarding the Fuhu Arhat actually died in the hands of Jiang Liu, on the side of the Great Leiyin Temple, many Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and even Buddhas have arrived.
The first Arhat to be robbed in the Westward Tribulation, this incident has aroused great concern from Buddhism.
"Amitabha Buddha, enlightened Buddha, Fuhu Arhat is the best of my eighteen Arhats, today he actually died at the hands of Xuanzang, and ask the Buddha to administer justice for us!"
"Yes, although Fu Hu is only an arhat, but he has enough ability to serve as a bodhisattva, he actually died at the hands of Xuanzang, this matter must not be tolerated, otherwise, wouldn't there be more of our fellow disciples who died at his hands?" As some of the Arhats spoke, several Bodhisattvas opened their mouths one after another, and put forward their opinions in complete agreement.
Today's death is the Fuhu Arhat, will it be his own bodhisattvas who will die next time?
Thinking of this, these bodhisattvas all feel a sense of crisis, and naturally, they all want the Buddha to restrain Xuanzang well, so that their safety is a lot bigger, right?
In the Great Lei Yin Temple, many arhats and bodhisattvas say a word, and it seems that they are all in the same situation, and they want to punish and punish the river well.
It's just that for the words of these people, the Buddha's expression was calm and he didn't speak.
I didn't say yes or no, I just listened calmly.
After listening for a long time, these people who should have spoken have finished speaking, and one after another, everyone's words have stopped.
Immediately, the Buddha glanced at all the people around him and said, "Now it seems that most people agree with punishing Xuanzang, so are there any other people who disagree?"
"Amitabha Buddha ......" With the inquiry of the Buddha, the Guanyin Bodhisattva next to him spoke, and said: "Enlighten the Buddha, I will coordinate the westward journey, Xuanzang's accidental killing of the Fuhu Arhat is indeed wrong, but it is excusable......"
Guanyin Bodhisattva's words made the Bodhisattvas and Arhats who had just opened their mouths to punish Jiang Liu frown.
Is it wrong that the Arhat was killed? This is a sin!
It's just that Guanyin Bodhisattva has a respected status, and even the Buddha has to give her some face, so he didn't interrupt her, but quietly waited for her answer.
"Oh, Master Guanyin, please elaborate!" the Buddha asked calmly with the same expression.
"First of all, the reincarnation of the Dragon Arhat, named Dao Ji, is now three years old, under the arrangement of the Fuhu Arhat, he entered the Daluo Temple, Xuanzang and his party passed through the Daluo Temple, and also recognized the identity of the Dragon Arhat!"
"However, in the case that Xuanzang and his party are not clear, after Fuhu's Dharma Protector Divine Beast kidnapped Daoji, how did Xuanzang deal with it?"
Guanyin's words made these people speechless for a while.
"Amitabha, Xuanzang summoned the demons, immortals, and even mortals in the mortal world to look for it together, and at the same time, he entered the underworld to seek the help of the Bodhisattva King of the Earth, leaving his face behind, and leaving ...... behind."
"Although he didn't get the help of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, his loyalty to my Buddhism can be seen!"
"Hou Xuanzang found the whereabouts of Daoji, and according to common sense, he determined that Fuhu's Dharma Protector Divine Beast, and even Fuhu Arhat are demons, how can this be regarded as a crime!?
"When the dragon descended in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the knot between Xuanzang, everyone knows one or two, there is a festival of dragon descending Arhats, Xuanzang can still do his best to save, never met the Tiger Arhat, but Xuanzang wants to deliberately kill him?
"Amitabha, we agree with what Guanyin Bodhisattva said......" Guanyin's words are reasonable and well-founded, so that many people nodded secretly, and immediately, the Manjushri Bodhisattva, Fuxian Bodhisattva, Lingji Bodhisattva, etc. next to him all spoke one after another to express their agreement.
The Buddha was still sitting on the lotus platform, although his expression was still calm, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised slightly.
I have to say that the words of Guanyin Bodhisattva can be regarded as speaking to the heart of the Buddha.
Besides, who is Xuanzang? It is the reincarnation of his second disciple Jin Chanzi, if he is punished, he will be disgraced as a master, right?
"Amitabha Buddha ......" It's just that at this time, a Buddha horn sounded.
An old monk, wearing a robe, bowed his head slightly to the Buddha, and said: "As Guanyin Bodhisattva said, Xuanzang is indeed not guilty, but he is just wrong, but no matter how small the mistake is, it should be punished, right?"
"I suggest that he be locked up in the Phantom Cave for a year, and he will think about it!"
"What the Medicine King Buddha said is reasonable!" Many arhats and Bodhisattvas who were originally speechless by Guanyin Bodhisattva heard the words of this old monk and immediately spoke, as if they had found the backbone of the heart.
The Medicine King Buddha is also very high among the Buddhas, and the weight of what he said is naturally different.
"What the Medicine King Buddha said is indeed reasonable, but after all, Xuanzang shoulders the heavy responsibility of traveling west to learn scriptures! If he is locked up for a year, won't it affect the great cause of traveling west to learn scriptures? According to me, it is better to give him a note, and after he arrives at the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain, he will settle it together, how about informing him of this matter?" However, with the words of the Medicine King Buddha, another person next to him spoke.
The person who opened his mouth was none other than Maitreya Buddha!
Hearing that Maitreya Buddha himself spoke, all the people around him were naturally silent.
On that day, Xuanzang said that he respected himself the most, and since this was the case, Maitreya Buddha felt that he should help him, which could be regarded as a good fate.
Maitreya Buddha spoke, and let Rulai's eyes glance at him without a trace.
After a little muttering, seeing that everyone had no intention of speaking again, the Buddha nodded slightly, and said: "Amitabha, what Maitreya Buddha said is reasonable!
