Chapter 339: Rulai conspires with the Jade Emperor to pull the strings
Just as Xiaoyu was rebuilding the peach orchard and enjoying the peach with his family, the Jade Emperor, Tai Baixing, who fled in embarrassment, and Rulai, who was escaped from the Buddha country in the palm of Xiaoyu, met in a half-dimensional plane.
When the Jade Emperor saw Rulai, he couldn't help crying loudly, "Brother Rulai, I'm finished! The daughter-in-law and the queen mother broke off with me, and all the divine servants, except for the Tai Bai Xing, were snatched away by that god-damn Fusang!"
When he saw the Jade Emperor like this, he couldn't help but sneer, "Jade Emperor, what are you doing so sadly, and you are still obsessed with this seat? Go ahead, die early and be reincarnated early! You have also done this heaven and earth supreme!"
The Jade Emperor was startled, and actually knelt down and hugged Rulai's thighs, "Brother, you can't be so wow! At the beginning, we agreed to unify the country for thousands of generations!"
Rulai frowned, pinched his fingers, and counted, "Alas! Say so! But it's strange, your sons are not angry, and the killing and robbery they have caused are so heavy that they have lost the faith of all sentient beings!"
If you say something else, maybe the Jade Emperor will be forced to pass, and he plans to swallow his anger. But when he heard that it was because of his children, he didn't say yes!
Wiping tears from the Buddha's trousers, the Jade Emperor stood up, pointed at Rulai's nose and was furious, "If you say something else, this emperor will swallow a breath of resentment, and forget it! However, if you attribute the unbelief of all living beings to me, you are suspected of escaping the sin!"
Rulai looked at the angry Jade Emperor in astonishment, he didn't expect that the Jade Emperor, who had always been kind and pleasant, would be so angry!
Looking at the appearance of the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor suddenly felt a little pity for him, and held a Buddha bead in his hand, "Amitabha!
The Jade Emperor sneered, "What's wrong? Tang Seng learned the scriptures back then, but you and I planned together, and the gods worked together to succeed! But on the way to learn the scriptures, the damage that my Heavenly Court God will cause is far less than that of you Buddhists!"
If you come to hear this, you have the intention to hide it, but you can't do it!
There have been a number of major events in Tang Seng's scriptures, among which Sun Wukong destroyed the ginseng fruit tree, as well as the lion camel demon country, etc., but they were all Buddhists, and one destroyed the cornerstone of the earth immortals, and the other did not know how many living beings were destroyed!
Even the red boy of the Flame Mountain, who is now Zhang Ruihuan, wanted to do a lot of evil back then, and was later surrendered by Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is now Tian Lanying!
The Jade Emperor looked at Rulai's embarrassment, and raised his head high, "Your Buddhism in order to gather the faith of the world, and I for the sake of the peace of the world, forced Sun Wukong to the heavenly court, and then, you used the Buddha Kingdom in your palm to knock it down to the foot of the Five Elements Mountain." I invited you to join the Pan Tao Society, but you changed your name to the Antiy Conference! The limelight is exhausted, the organs are exhausted, you have become a Buddha! Isn't this all the opportunity I gave you?!"
If the Jade Emperor had not taken the initiative to invite him, and wanted to make the Western Sect replace Taoism as a new tool of ideological domination, he, the leader of the Western Sect, would still be just a scattered immortal.
Although his strength has reached the level of quasi-saint, he has no official position in the heavenly court, and he cannot be on the stage. Therefore, if you want to promote the Dharma, you can't do it without a huge Dharma preaching movement.
So a large-scale, one-scale project, with particularly destructive, particularly long-lasting, very wide range of influence of the Tang monks to learn the scriptures of the movement began!
In the series of legends of learning scriptures, especially after the scripture learning team came to the West Heaven, Rulai actually took advantage of the situation to ask for money and take away the purple gold bowl of Tang Seng preaching. You must know that this purple gold bowl has gone through 13 years, and has been courting nearly 10,000 incense along the way, and it has already become a meritorious artifact for faith to gather!
And it is very polite to ask for almsgiving, and when it comes to the king's house, he will have to give three buckets and three liters of gold grains, and say that the Dharma is paid. This is clearly for the Buddhist believers to enter the temple to offer incense in the future to be blessed, laying a solid foundation.
After the Tang monks learned the scriptures, Buddhism was carried forward, and the Buddhist monks made a lot of money!
Therefore, in later generations, the Tang monk to learn the scriptures was compared to a seeding machine, a money printing machine, and a propaganda team, which was simply said to the bones!
The Jade Emperor was satisfied with his rule at first. Because the three Qings are high, quiet and inactive, pay attention to the rule of inaction, the world's demons and scattered immortals, especially Zhen Yuanzi, relying on ginseng fruit trees, known as the ancestor of the earth immortals, only worship heaven and earth, and speak big words in his mouth, despising the dignity of heaven!
But the Jade Emperor was helpless. Because Zhenyuanzi Daxian and Sanqing are called brothers, and they are Hongjun Daoist people who sit down and love disciples, they were sent to guard the ginseng fruit tree, as well as the innate spiritual treasure book to protect themselves, and the sleeve of the great law is powerful in the town of Huanyu, and the Wuzhuang view of Wanshou Mountain is famous, it is simply a small court!
For these people who have no good prescriptions, Sanqing doesn't care, only pays attention to self-cultivation, and rises and falls with the years of heaven and earth, so he is not at ease! But the Jade Emperor is different, he finally achieved the position of the Jade Emperor after many catastrophes, and seeks the foundation of thousands of generations, where can the world be so chaotic!
However, in the face of the Three Qing Dynasty, he was alone, and the only way to do this was to bring in new reinforcements! After searching for thirty-three days, the Jade Emperor was looking for people who were on the same path! At this time, he found a quasi-Daoist person!
The Zhun Ti Daoist is now Rulai, when he and Bodhi founded the Western religion together. It is claimed to create a pure land between heaven and earth, gather the wishes of all sentient beings, so that people with great merit have a place to go after death, and do not fall into reincarnation and hell!
He also sent Jizo Bodhisattva to make a grand wish to go to hell to be on duty, clearly to snatch the demographic dividend!
But these Three Qing Dao Ancestors turned a blind eye! If they came to do so, they were even more bold. The eighteen halls of Yama are all the people of the Jade Emperor, and of course they are dissatisfied with Rulai's arrangement. After making it clear to the Jade Emperor, I didn't expect the Jade Emperor to be unhappy but happy!
The Jade Emperor's actions surprised the Yama kings a little, because he asked the Yama kings to introduce him and talk to Rulai. King Yama had no choice but to do so, the country belonged to the Jade Emperor, how he wanted to play, but King Yama had no right to interfere!
Rulai was also surprised by the Jade Emperor's overtures. He originally wanted to apologize first, because he robbed Heavenly Court of the power to arrange the reincarnation of sentient beings and took away a part of the population, and the Jade Emperor must be to blame.
Who knew that after meeting the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor laughed, released his previous suspicions, and asked about Rulai's future plans. At that time, Rulai was only the leader of a small sect, although as a quasi-saint, Rulai had profound mana, but he had no title, and he could not ascend to the hall of elegance. Facing the Jade Emperor, there was still some apprehension in my heart.
But the Jade Emperor was very easy-going, and talked with him about the founding of Taoism and the development of Buddhism with him. If you come to the moment, you are listening to the sound, and you are in the middle of it!
The more they talked, the more excited they became, as if the deadly rat had found a hungry cat and jumped into a crazy rumba.
After Rulai returned, he told the Bodhi Ancestor, who was also a saint, about the movement of studying scriptures conspired by the two! Unexpectedly, the Bodhi Ancestor was angry and categorically rejected the proposal of the Nyorai! He declared that if the Nyorai really took such a move, he would definitely withdraw from the Western religious organization.
But Rulai is already very hungry and thirsty, and Xu Tu's slow development is not his character! It is his habit to be arrogant and domineering, to be in the limelight, and to get the best benefits!
Especially when he revealed that he wanted to make a fuss from the unborn Lingming Stone Monkey in heaven and earth, and wanted to teach him all his skills, Bodhi Ancestor thought of the killing that this monkey was going to cause, and he had a big headache!
However, under the persuasion of Rulai, the ancestor of Bodhi exchanged the condition of retiring from the country and drawing a line with Western Buddhism on the condition of teaching the Lingming stone monkey.
Thinking that he would be able to unify Western Buddhism in the future without being constrained by the Bodhi Ancestor, he readily agreed.
But where could you have thought that the ancestor of Bodhi was far-sighted, and it was expected that he would not be able to learn the scriptures in this way for a long time! The paper can't contain the fire, and sooner or later the truth will be revealed!
Therefore, after teaching Sun Wukong spells and martial arts, he didn't even give him a weapon. And he made an appointment with him in three chapters, saying that if the monkey causes great trouble in the future, don't come to him again!
Actually, the Three Qings and Bodhi are both right, and the Buddha is the Tao! It's just that Buddhism pays more attention to the detachment of the spiritual world, while Taoism emphasizes self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and the purpose is to seek the ultimate path of spiritual evolution of sentient beings, which is just chaos!
However, the Tao emphasizes non-action, purity, and lack of desire! The Dharma emphasizes intervention and pursues operation, catering to the impatient utilitarian desires of sentient beings!
Rulai thought of the previous things, and also realized the painstaking efforts of the Bodhi Ancestor, but compared to the Bodhi Ancestor, he still believed in his own power.
Because even if it is as strong as Sun Wukong, it still can't escape the palm of his hand! A large-scale movement to create Buddha and propagate the Dharma, the effect is absolutely good at the beginning!
In the ginseng fruit tree incident, he teased Sun Wukong to knock down the ginseng fruit tree, which greatly destroyed the prestige of Zhen Yuanzi; in the real and false Sun Wukong, Rulai even thought that he had killed the disobedient Sun Wukong; and in the Lion Camel Demon Country incident, he subdued his uncle Kunpeng Patriarch, and for a time his status was transcendent!
However, the good times did not last long! There was an incident in which Erlang Danshan saved his mother and the three-legged golden crow was in turmoil, and at this time, Guanyin, as a special commissioner for Rulai to contact the heavenly court, had to participate in the Jade Emperor's movement to eliminate dissidents and maintain his rule.
Guanyin tried his best to dissociate himself from the Jade Emperor's complicity, and tried to minimize the impact, helping Yang Jian to subdue the sea. But the three-legged golden crow will be a scourge in the world.
And the origin of this matter has to be attributed to the theme that has remained unchanged for thousands of years - men and women.
This incident has already been mentioned in the previous chapters, so I will not repeat it here.
But this catastrophe of heaven and earth has indeed swept away the majesty of Heavenly Court, and as a Western Buddha who is closely related to Heavenly Court, he can't sit still!
Because if sentient beings don't believe in heaven, their beliefs will be confused, so will they simply believe in Buddhism?
That's a problem!
