Chapter 49: How to Deal with It (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
The news of Zhao Qingyu's subduing of the red boy spread to Lingshan within a few days, and after learning about it, he immediately summoned several great bodhisattvas to come to discuss the matter. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Among several Bodhisattvas, only Lingji Bodhisattva is loyal to Rulai, his dojo is located in Xiaosumeru Mountain, after receiving the decree of the law, he rushed to the Daxiong Treasure Hall in a moment, and saw that Rulai sat on the throne of the Buddha, there was a trace of lingering sorrow between his eyebrows, so he asked: "Why is the Buddha distressed, I don't want to tell my disciples?"
Rulai said: "The three demon immortals of Che Chi Kingdom, can the Venerable know?"
Lingji nodded, Zhao Qingyu and a few people killed a large number of monks in Chechi Country made the entire Buddhist people angry, and they wanted to teach these bold and reckless fanatics a lesson, but Rulai has always let this matter go, and everyone is not allowed to take action, so everyone can only bury this anger in their hearts, but the names of several people are like thunder, and they all grit their teeth when they mention it.
Without him, because the monks are not only their most loyal believers in Buddhism, but also the missionaries who shoulder the heavy responsibility, the reason why Buddhism has moved the Three Realms in just over a thousand years, breaking the situation of Taoism being a dominant family, is of course the leadership of the Rulai, but it is also inseparable from the efforts of the monks in the world, if everyone is like Zhao Qingyu to destroy a large number of monks, then the dominance of Buddhism in Xiniu Hezhou will only become weaker and weaker, and sooner or later it will be wiped out by Taoism.
"Do you know why I connived at what the three demon immortals did?" Seeing Lingji shaking his head, Rulai sighed in his heart, a little disappointed, looking at the entire Buddhism, he could guess that the only people he intended were the Ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp and the King of the Earth Bodhisattva. After pondering for a while, he continued: "Che Chi Guo has a lot of territory, but before Zhao Qingyu and the others went, do you know that there are as many as two thousand monks there, and for a long time, Che Chi Guo's national strength cannot be consumed at all." ”
Hearing the sound of the strings and knowing the elegant meaning, Lingji was greatly admired: "The Buddha wants to get rid of some monks by the hands of a few people, so that the number can be controlled within the scope of the national strength of the Chechi country, so as not to cause all the people in this country to be dissatisfied with the monks, which will affect the reputation of our Buddhism." ”
If you nod your head, when the scripture-learning team arrived in Che Chi Kingdom, they killed Zhao Qingyu and a few people, and avenged the monks who were living in dire straits, so that the monks of Che Chi Kingdom would be grateful to him as a Buddha, and they would be more diligent in preaching, so that they would not achieve their own goals and enhance their religious prestige. Of course, there is another reason, Zhao Qingyu and several people are doing evil under the banner of Taoism, such as to see if Sanqing has the intention of encroaching on the territory of Buddhism.
Lingji suddenly said: "But Zhao Qingyu has made a big move in recent days, first occupying the ownerless Heishui River, and then subduing the mountain king Red Boy of the dry pine stream, so that Che Chi Guo, the Heishui River and the dry pine stream are connected in a line, whether it is the territory and strength have increased several times, this person's ambition is obvious, if the Buddha does not get rid of this person, I am afraid that he will become a big trouble for our Buddhism sooner or later." ”
Rulai said: "I recruited you for this purpose. ”
If you have bitterness in your heart, it is easy to get rid of Zhao Qingyu, but at the same time, you have to consider the attitude of the Jade Emperor behind him, now Tai Bai Xing has just deceived the Seven Fairies to Xiniu Hezhou, and the Jade Emperor has a stomach for himself after learning about it, if he does it to Zhao Qingyu at this time, the result will inevitably anger the Jade Emperor even more, in case he is so angry that he will die in the net, then how can he face his thunderous anger, you must know that the powerful Taoism is eyeing him from the side.
But if he continues to leave Zhao Qingyu alone, I am afraid that this person will also annex the surrounding territory, and then let him sit big and attract the attention of Sanqing, it will be troublesome. If you know that the reason why Sanqing did not go down to the mortal to reward Zhao Qingyu and a few people with golden pill holy water and the method of immortality, firstly, because a few people have low skills and there is no need to accept them, and secondly, they are used by themselves as chess pieces and they don't know it.
Lingji was about to reply, but he heard footsteps behind him, turned his head to look, and saw Guanyin, Manjushri, and Fuxian all coming, and swallowed a word back into his stomach. These three friends in private, but he was excluded alone, Lingji knew that several people hated him for his treachery and took refuge in Rulai, but if he didn't take refuge and continued to disobey Yang and Yin, what could he do, one day he would still be forced to stand in line, rather than waiting until that day came, it was better to show his heart as soon as possible, maybe he could get the reuse of Rulai.
If you can ascend from a Buddha to a Buddha, how can you be an ordinary person, whether it is mana or wisdom, you are the top in the world, and there is no good end for going against him.
The three Bodhisattvas met with Rulai and asked in unison, "What is the so-called matter of my Buddha recruiting disciples and others?"
Rulai turned his gaze to Guanyin and asked, "Venerable Guanyin, a few days ago, Li Tianwang and his son led troops to recruit Zhao Qingyu of Che Chiguo, and when the two sides were deadlocked, you and the Jade Emperor appeared at the same time to relieve the siege, why is this?"
Guanyin thought for a moment, and knew what it meant to recruit her, and immediately said: "Back to my Buddha, the disciple went to heaven to see the queen mother that day, and happened to meet the Jade Emperor on the way. Because everyone knew each other, I chatted with him for a while. Listening to him talk about the Dragon King of the West Sea, because Ao Yan sued Zhao Qingyu for occupying the Heishui River first, and then led people to make trouble in his Dragon Palace, the Jade Emperor sent the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to crusade, but the main general Giant Spirit God was defeated and fled against the enemy, losing the face of the Heavenly Court, and the Jade Emperor sent Li Tianwang and his son and the Four Heavenly Kings to capture Zhao Qingyu to come to the Heavenly Court to ask for the crime. ”
Speaking of this, she paused, saw that Rulai's face was as usual, and continued: "After the Jade Emperor finished speaking, the disciple told him what Zhao Qingyu had done in Che Chi Country in the past few years, hoping that several crimes would be punished and Zhao Qingyu would be sent to kill Xiantai as soon as possible, so that I was also angry with all my Buddhists." Unexpectedly, after listening to it, the Jade Emperor praised Zhao Qingyu for being a talent, but it was a pity to die, and asked the disciple to come forward to recruit Zhao Qingyu, the disciple was naturally unwilling, and the Jade Emperor did not force it, but he insisted on letting the disciple go with him, and the disciple did not dare to disobey, so there was a disciple who went with him to solve the siege. ”
Knowing that Zhao Qingyu subdued the red boy and received the power of the Huoyun Cave, Guanyin was shocked at the time and secretly sighed at his boldness, but after thinking about it, he felt that Zhao Qingyu took a risky step to take advantage of the situation to sit on his relationship with the Jade Emperor, which seemed to put him in danger, but in fact confused Rulai and protected him.
When Manjushri heard this, he smiled and said: "That Jade Emperor likes to recruit talents, and he has recruited Sun Wukong twice in hundreds of years, and as a result, he has made a big fuss in the sky, and this time he personally came forward to recruit Zhao Qingyu, and I don't know how much trouble this person will cause in the future!"
Fuxian said: "Measure how much trouble he can cause by cultivating as a true immortal, this person has repeatedly committed crimes on the territory of my Buddhism, if he is not punished, the majesty of my Buddhism will not be in vain." ”
"The Bodhisattva's words are also wrong, since Zhao Qingyu was surrendered by the Jade Emperor, he is the person of the Jade Emperor, if we teach him a lesson, we are afraid that we will anger the Jade Emperor, so isn't it because of a small loss?"
"The Jade Emperor's face naturally has to be taken into account, but he can't let this person act recklessly. Back then, my Buddha took action to suppress the monkeys who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, although hundreds of years have passed, but the prestige has not fallen in the Three Realms, even if he moves to get rid of Zhao Qingyu, what can the Jade Emperor do, is it because he will turn his face against my Buddha?"
Listening to the conversation between the two, Guanyin was really a little worried, she knew that the Jade Emperor actually had nothing to do with Zhao Qingyu, if Rulai started to get rid of Zhao Qingyu at this time, then the talent she valued so hard would be destroyed, so wouldn't it be in vain. Immediately interrupted the words of the two: "Two bodhisattvas, let's see how the Buddha handles this matter." ”
After listening to Guanyin's explanation, Rulai was more sure that Zhao Qingyu had become the Jade Emperor's person, he glanced back and forth at Manjushri and Fuxian, and sneered in his heart. However, at this time, it is mainly a plan to learn from the scriptures, and it is not appropriate to offend them, so after pondering for a while, he said to a few people: "I thought about Zhao Qingyu's matter, and I decided not to touch him for the time being, but I troubled a few Venerables to go to Che Chi Kingdom to warn him, so that he could continue to expand his territory with the support of the Jade Emperor. Angered me, even if he is the Jade Emperor's person, I will get rid of him. ”
Several Bodhisattvas received the order, and Guanyin said: "My Buddha asked us to come here for this one thing?"
Rulai said with a smile: "The 300-year-old Yulan Festival is about to begin, and I called you here this time to discuss with you how to hold it this time, which characters to invite to come to cheer, and some characters still have to come forward." ”
The four bodhisattvas nodded, and Lingji Bodhisattva proposed, "Buddha, the content of the conference needs to be changed to save what happened last time." ”
Rulai nodded nondeniably.
