“That’s all…”


    The Tathagata, sitting on a golden lotus with a fat head and big ears, and a circle of Buddha''s light behind his head, said calmly: "In the Western Heaven, kneeling is just for respect, not for the law. Ananda Kassapa, don''t force it."


    “Yes, Buddha.” The two attendants turned to look at Tathagata at the same time, clasped their hands together, bowed and sang.


    ?However, Qin Yao felt a little nauseous in his heart.


    ? He ??didn’t know whether it was due to preconceptions. Due to Tathagata’s outrageous operation in the original work, he put on colored glasses towards it.


    But what Tathagata said did not have the flavor of a compassionate or kind-hearted elder at all.


    What does kneeling mean to be respectful?


    Translation: I don’t respect this Buddhist World Honored One enough. I took his scriptures and still don’t respect him. There is something wrong with my character.


    ?Looking around, I found that many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas looked at him with some changes. Some even looked at him with cold eyebrows. If the situation was not wrong, they were probably going to fight with me.


    never mind.


    ?Let it be whatever you say. I''m too lazy to argue with you, and I won''t be stupid enough to argue with you. As long as you can give me the reward for collecting and teaching scriptures...


    All kinds of thoughts flashed through Qin Yao''s mind for a moment, but when faced with the Tathagata''s "magnanimity", he just put his hands together and chanted the Buddha''s name softly: "Amitabha."


    In the center of the golden lotus on the high platform, the Tathagata looked at him indifferently and said loudly: "Tang Xuanzang, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and Xiaobailong are the five people who have studied the sutras and have made meritorious service in passing on the sutras. They should be promoted to great positions and achieve positive results to reward their efforts..."


    Happiness must be rewarded, and faults must be punished. This is the most basic way for a superior to govern his subordinates.


    ?Now in front of all the saints in the Buddhist world and the masters and disciples who have returned from preaching the scriptures, he has to reward them, otherwise it will undermine the name of justice!


    “Thank you, Buddha.” Qin Yao clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.


    “Thank you Lord Buddha.” Monkey, pig, Sha Wujing, and little white dragon also followed suit and said thank you in unison.


    The Tathagata smiled slightly and shouted softly: "Now Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty is consecrated as the Sandalwood Merit Buddha, and his monastery is Chang''an in the Tang Dynasty. I hope that you will stay in Chang''an for a long time in the future, continue to spread the meaning of my Buddhist scriptures, and make Buddhism great."


    As he spoke, he waved his sleeves to Qin Yao, who was directly in front of him, and shot out a bright Buddha light.


    The Buddha''s light quickly came to Qin Yao and penetrated into his body through the pores all over his body. In an instant, his mortal body was transformed into the true Buddha''s Dharma body.


    ?The remaining power was integrated into the soul and absorbed by the realm of the Kingdom of God. As a result, the Xuanyuan Sword suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light, using itself as a carrier to refine this awe-inspiring Buddhist power and instill it into the territory.


    ??The territory of the Kingdom of God, which was originally more than eight million miles away, expanded crazily and continued to grow in size with loud rumbling noises. The area soon exceeded tens of millions of miles, and headed straight for 20 million miles away.


    At the same time, the Buddhist hat on his head turned into a golden Buddhist crown, and the yellow monk''s robes on his body turned into golden monk''s robes. Only the brocade cassock remained, shining brightly...


    After conferring a reward on Tang Xuanzang, Tathagata turned to look at Sun Wukong and said with a smile: "Wukong."


    ?Monkey in a black tiger skin skirt took two steps forward, clasped his hands together and said, "Buddha."


    The Tathagata said: "I, Taiyi Sanxian, was refined into an indestructible body by the divine fire of the heaven after tomorrow. Since he entered my Buddhist door, he has been upright and upright, and he has been brave and diligent. He escorted Xuanzang all the way to the west. He has gone through many hardships and remained loyal. I am here today." I will call you the Victorious Buddha."


    After saying that, he suddenly raised the rosary in his hand, and a golden light flew out from the lotus platform under his seat, using his body as a conductor, and rushed towards Wukong.


    When golden light entered the body, the monkey''s outfit suddenly turned into a set of silver-white armor, gorgeous, delicate, and majestic.


    “Thank you, Lord Buddha.”


    Even though he realized that his magic power had not improved much, the monkey still thanked him with a smile on his face.


    Tathagata nodded and continued: "Pigs are capable of enlightenment."


    Hearing his name being called, Zhu Bajie quickly looked away from Brother Monkey and looked at Tathagata expectantly: "Here he is, there he is, Buddha."


    The Tathagata said: "You are the Tianpeng Marshal of the Heaven Realm. Due to your affairs in the lower realm, you converted to Buddhism. Although you were often lazy and greedy, you had good intentions and escorted Xuanzang on his way to the west. Your hard work has made great achievements. I now designate you as the Purifying Altar Envoy Bodhisattva."


    ?Zhu Bajie was originally looking forward to it, but when he heard the word Bodhisattva, his expression changed slightly: "Buddha, how come they can all become Buddhas, and become Bodhisattva to me?"


    ??If this was just a lie, Zhu Bajie was rough and subtle, how could he not see the true meaning, so he could only sigh in his heart and pretend to be happy to accept this excuse.


    Subsequently, the Tathagata granted him the enlightenment of Bodhisattva, and the Buddha''s power he received was far inferior to that of a monkey, let alone compared to Xuanzang...


    After dressing up Bajie, Tathagata successively consecrated Sha Wujing as the golden-bodied Arhat Bodhisattva and Xiaobailong as the Eight-part Heavenly Dragon Guangli Bodhisattva.


    From then on, the reward was over, and the Tathagata smiled and said: "You should return to your place. You can stay here and listen to my lectures. You will definitely make progress."


    “Buddha, there is something I want to report to you.” Sun Wukong answered.


    “What’s the matter?” Tathagata smiled slightly.


    ?Sun Wukong pointed at the little white dragon and said solemnly: "This is related to the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guangli Bodhisattva. He had an uncle who was plotted by a traitor and was unjustly killed by the Jade Emperor. Please ask the Buddha to uphold justice."


    Tathagata counted his fingers and asked, "Is it the Dragon King of Jinghe?"


    Sun Wukong nodded: "Yes, it is the Dragon King of Jinghe River. Lord Wude Xing hooked up with the Dragon King of Weihe River and plotted against the Dragon King of Jinghe River, causing the Dragon King of Jinghe River to die unjustly!"


    The Tathagata''s face was slightly dull, and he secretly winked at Ananda and Kassapa.


    The two attendants understood the meaning and immediately came out. Ananda took the lead and said: "This is a matter of the heaven and has nothing to do with our Buddhist world. The Buddha is the leader of the Buddhist world, how can he meddle in the affairs of the heaven at will? Victory over the Buddha , don’t embarrass Buddha.”


    “How can this be an embarrassment?”


    Sun Wukong argued: "When my old grandson made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, Buddha took action and suppressed me at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain. He could control it at the beginning, but he can''t control it now?"


    Kasyapa said: "How can this be the same? It was the Jade Emperor who sent people to ask Buddha to take charge of it, but now Heaven has not sent anyone."


    Sun Wukong suddenly knelt down to the Tathagata and said loudly: "Buddha has always been just and fair. I respect him very much. With such injustice before his eyes, I believe that Buddha will not turn a blind eye. Please uphold justice!"


    Tathagata pursed his lips, looking embarrassed.


    “Ask the Buddha to make the decision for me.” At this time, the little white dragon also knelt down and kowtowed heavily.


    ?Zhu Bajie glanced at his master and saw that his eyes were closed tightly, as if he was still digesting the Buddha''s power. He then knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "Please ask the Buddha to make the decision for Guangli Bodhisattva."


    Not to mention an honest man like Sha Wujing, he fell to his knees and begged from the bottom of his heart.


    At this point, of the five masters and disciples, only Qin Yao is still standing...


    The Tathagata pursed his lips and raised his hands slightly: "You guys, please get up first. This matter needs long-term consideration."


    Sun Wukong''s heart thumped, and he suddenly had a bad premonition, and he said in a concentrated voice: "Buddha, please act impartially." Tathagata winked at the two attendants again, and Kasyapa suddenly asked: "Sun Wukong, you Is this threatening the Buddha?"


    Sun Wukong frowned: "Can you shut up? I feel annoyed when I hear your voice. Which of your ears heard me threatening the Buddha?"


    Kassapa sneered and said, "I heard it with both ears. You are blackmailing and embarrassing the Buddha. Our Buddhist sect is a pure place, so how can we interfere in the government affairs of the heaven at will? Your request is simply forcing others to make things difficult."


    Sun Wukong was furious and stood up suddenly: "I asked Buddha to help justice, how can I say that I am forcing others to do something difficult?"


    Ah Dian said: "There are so many injustices in the world, how many of them can you take care of? Moreover, if the Dragon King of Jinghe River were not Little Bailong''s uncle, would you take care of them?"


    “Of course!”


    Sun Wukong said without hesitation: "I, the old Sun, can''t help but take care of any injustice that happens to me. If I put on this Buddhist robe, I will lose my heart to support justice, then what will happen to this Buddhist robe?" Is it good or bad?”


    "You are so presumptuous that you dare to slander my Buddhist sect." Kasyapa began to get stronger and reprimanded: "I think you are still a demon and are not worthy of becoming a Buddha."


    Sun Wukong also got angry and retorted: "I am not worthy of being a Buddha, and you are not even worthy of standing here! When we were studying for scriptures, all we wanted to do was ask for things from us, but now you don''t even have the compassion of a monk. You Still a person?"


    “Sun Wukong.”


    Seeing that both Ananda and Kassapa could not win against Sun Wukong when they joined forces, the Tathagata was furious: "I love you very much. I don''t mind that you are of humble origin, and I am willing to make you a true Buddha. Don''t be too complacent."


    “Humph.” Sun Wukong snorted coldly, feeling completely desperate.


    ? He ??did not expect that the reality was exactly what the master said. The personification of justice in his eyes was just a hypocrite who wanted to be alone.


    “Tathagata, you...”


    “Ahem!”


    ?Seeing that his hairy monkey still got up like in the original work, he was about to curse Tathagata together. Qin Yao, who was refining the power of Buddha, coughed lightly and interrupted the monkey''s next words.


    ?Silly boy, didn’t my teacher tell you that it’s okay for you to quarrel with Kassapa and Ananda, but don’t antagonize Tathagata, why are you still so passionate?


    ?If the Tathagata wants to attack you, I will not be able to protect you in terms of my teachings and conduct. Isn’t this just a loss?


    Next, it’s up to my teacher to clean up the mess for you...


    “Buddha, Wukong hates evil as much as he hates it, and he is full of righteousness. Seeing that he has been wronged here, but he cannot be cleansed, he is naturally angry. He did not mean to offend. Please forgive me, Buddha.”


    ?Sun Wukong opened his mouth, but then he thought of the bet with his master, and no sound came out.


    The Tathagata was already ready to take action. If this monkey really dared to be disrespectful to himself, he would definitely be taught a painful lesson in front of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.


    ??But now that Tang Xuanzang stood up to intercede, he was looking for righteous words, so it was really hard for him to care about the monkey Meng Lang.


    "For your sake, I will spare him this time, but I hope you can teach him more in the future so that he can change his barbaric behavior." Tathagata said seriously.


    Qin Yao glanced at his hairy monkey and saw a look of dissatisfaction and grievance on his face. He shook his head and said, "Buddha clearly shows that Wukong''s temper is more straightforward, but it really has nothing to do with the word barbarism.


    ?If there were not such upright and courageous people in this world, who have the courage to crush all injustices, the world would probably sink into darkness. "


    ?Sun Wukong was slightly startled.


    What did he hear?


    Master is refuting Buddha for himself?


    ?Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and Xiao Bailong suddenly felt their hearts throbbing, and their noses felt a little sore for a while.


    Tathagata frowned slightly, and after a while, he said with a smile: "You are protecting your shortcomings..."


    Qin Yao said seriously: "I like Wukong from the bottom of my heart, and I hope there can be more people like him in the world."


    Tathagata said indifferently: "If that''s the case, then you can go and reverse the case of the Jinghe Dragon King. However, you can''t use my name of the Buddhist world to act. No matter what the consequences are, this is the personal behavior of your master and disciple."


    ??Qin Yao clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and showed his face: "Thank you very much, Buddha. I''ll take my leave."


    ??The whole hall of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas watched silently as the five masters and disciples left. Guanshiyin''s lips were slightly opened, but for a moment he didn''t know how to speak for them.


    “If you mind your own business, you will definitely suffer disaster in the future.” Kasyapa snorted coldly.


    The Tathagata said calmly: "We have learned the cause and effect from the scriptures. If we are not indebted or indebted, stop talking about them and continue teaching the Dharma."


    He recognized the contribution of these five people to the spread of scriptures, but he did not deduct their credit. Instead, he distributed the rewards as soon as possible.


    Just don’t see each other again in the future. Anyway, the chess game of spreading Buddhism to the east has been closed...


    “Master, where are we going?”


    ??After walking out of Dayeiyin Temple, Sun Wukong asked blankly.


    Qin Yao looked at the setting sun and said softly: "Huaguo Mountain."


    “Huh?” Sun Wukong was stunned.


    “There is a monkey who likes the sunset of Huaguo Mountain very much. He often sits on the top of the mountain until dark.” Recalling the monkey in The Legend of Wukong, Qin Yao said with a smile.


    ?Sun Wukong: “…”


    Master, are there monkeys outside? ? ?


    It is approaching evening.


    Huaguoshan, the sky is filled with red clouds.


    The five masters and disciples sat together at the place where the monkey was reincarnated, looking up at the red and golden sunset in the sky, with different expressions on their faces.


    “Master, there seems to be a fire burning in my heart, and I want to poke a hole in the sky.” After a moment, watching the darkness gradually eroding the sunset, Sun Wukong whispered.


    Qin Yao smiled and said: "If it were me in the past, I might tell you some truths that are not complete in the world, but now, what I dislike the most is preaching and big principles.


    So, what I want to tell you now is, don’t be impulsive and exercise self-restraint. Any impulse will push things to a worse situation. "


    Sun Wukong was silent, and then said: "Thank you, Master. If it weren''t for you, I would have scolded the Tathagata in the Great Thunder Sound Temple today, and maybe, no, it would definitely not be a good outcome."


    At the beginning, the Tathagata turned his palm and suppressed him at the foot of the mountain for five hundred years.


    ??This time I scolded him like a **** in front of all the Buddhas. How many more years will he be suppressed?


    Qin Yao was about to speak, but he sensed that the Kingdom of God in his soul had finally stopped growing. He quickly scanned it with his spiritual consciousness and saw that the total area of ??the Kingdom of God had exceeded 30 million miles, floating in the sky like a continent. , which contains unpredictable divine power...
