I asked you to play the dungeon, but you are here to raise the BOSS?

"What's going on?"

Kassapa was a little puzzled: "The poor monk heard that Buddhism was prosperous in the Tang Dynasty. Do people come to the temple to be rude and offensive?"

"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be the case..., this temple was built by an edict issued by the former Empress Zetian. The current Emperor remembers his old friendship and has treated it with great honor and favor over the years. Even the emperor's relatives and dignitaries must not be offended."

Zen Master Fawu's mind was slightly moved, he looked at the old monk in cassocks, frowned and said: "Junior Brother Fayuan, you have always been careful in doing things, why did you let a young man come to attack you today? It is really rude. ”

"Brother Abbot, I also know that today is of great importance, so I have specially arranged for more than a hundred elite monks to guard outside the courtyard gate..."

Monk Fayuan naturally did not want to take the blame, and quickly explained: "But the old man knew magic. As soon as everyone rushed in front of him, he fell two or three feet away and fell to the ground unable to move. I saw that I couldn't stop him. Stay, come in and report."

"It shouldn't be a demonic method. With the poor monk's cultivation level, if there is the slightest trace of demonic energy, he can sense it without any hindrance."

"Besides, all of our colleagues here have gathered the power of Buddha, so even the demon king would not dare to offend them easily."

Kassapa clasped his hands together and said, "Since the person who came here has revealed our origins, I think he is very human. Please ask the ancient Buddha for instructions."

"Since we are here to promote the righteous Dharma and subjugate demons, why should we back down? Just go out and have a look."

The lamp-burning Buddha pondered for a moment and walked down the altar: "My Buddhist sect has always been broad-minded and open to all rivers. If anyone comes with wisdom, I will personally convert them. It will be a good story in the future."

He was originally a member of a foreign religion. When Amitabha promised him a high position, Ran Deng joined the Buddhist sect.

But after joining, Ran Deng discovered that monks were not all-inclusive, but rather focused on factions.

Although his Buddhist status is comparable to that of Buddha, he is not the elder of Buddhism, and his cultivation is far inferior to that of Amitabha, Tathagata Buddha and others, which leads to a rather embarrassing situation.

Usually he can only command some small karami like Arhats, Jiedi, and Bhikkhus.

Kassapa, as a direct disciple of the Buddha, often treated him in both positive and negative ways.

Now even Zhu Bajie, a loser, dares to oppose his orders face to face...

Thinking that he had been scolded by a pig, the Deng Deng Buddha looked very unconcerned, but his heart was filled with anger.

Well, Zhu Bajie naturally wanted to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.

But the key is to cultivate some reliable subordinates!

You really can’t count on others for this kind of thing, you can only do it yourself.

"Follow the ancient Buddhist teachings!"

Kasyapa, Zhu Bajie, and even the protective gods and monks of the Tang Dynasty are still very familiar with this process.

Everyone lined up according to their status and walked out of the temple one by one.

***

Outside Xingjiao Temple, more than a hundred guarding monks were lying on the ground in a mess, unable to move.

There were broken knives and iron bars everywhere, and it looked like a mess.

"Why bother? Why bother?"

The master straightened his clothes and then walked into the shade of the tree, his waist straight.

Master’s great gift!

"Amitabha! I am the abbot of the Tang Dynasty Protector Xingjiao Temple."

Zen Master Fawu pushed open the courtyard door, frowned and sighed, "I wonder why this donor came to commit murder and hurt people?"

"I just asked the people in charge here to come and see me. These evil servants said that I had spoken rudely and slandered the Buddha."

The master said calmly: "Even so, I still treat each other with courtesy and persuade others with virtue, and I have not competed with these evil servants."

"Treat each other with courtesy? Convince others with virtue?"

Zen Master Fawu looked at the half-dead monk on the ground, and his old face twitched: "Is this the 'virtue' of the donor?"

"They fell before I could do anything."

"Huh? What?"

"These evil servants show no respect for martial arts. They besieged and attacked me secretly, and secretly killed me. I asked them to learn a lesson, and it is my own fault."

The master said calmly: "We should establish virtue for the world. If we repay evil with virtue, how can the world repay virtue?"

"Amitabha! Is this possible, Junior Brother Fayuan?"

Zen Master Fawu was silent for a moment and kicked the ball to his junior brother.

Although this style of painting is a bit weird.

But looking at this posture, it is indeed very different from what the old man said.

I had hundreds of warrior monks, tricked and attacked a seventy-year-old man, and was beaten to a pulp by others...

It would indeed be embarrassing for him if word got out.

"Amitabha! In front of several respected masters, the old benefactor also slandered me, the Buddhist guardian monk, as an evil servant. He thought he was a heretic."

Monk Dharma Yuan sighed and said: "The young monk has the courage to ask a few respected masters to consider his old age, spare his life, and allow him to convert to Buddhism, without losing a good story."

Kasyapa has already said that this old man is not a monster. He and his hundreds of monks cannot defeat one old man. No matter what, he is derelict in his duty.

Obsessing over this topic will only make it darker.

Monk Fa Yuan thought that he might as well just throw the fire under the rug.

As long as the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lights converts him, the old man will become one of the Buddhists' "one of his own", and what happened today will just be laughed off.

"Buddhist Dharma Protector Monk?"

The master's thoughts moved slightly, and he asked: "I originally thought that these people were suffering from malaria, which caused their hair to fall out, and they were now bare-headed. Is it possible that all of you Buddhists are so weird-looking?"

"Amitabha! Why should the donor ask even though he already knows?"

Zen Master Fawu planned to show off in front of the Randen Buddha, and said with a smile: "The vast world, the vast world of mortals, is a place of right and wrong. When we become ordained and become monks, we should naturally put aside our three thousand worries, put an end to worldly concerns, and study Buddhism diligently. To save all sentient beings, the merits are immeasurable.”

"That's nonsense! Hair is just hair, what does it have to do with whether you are worried or not? I only know the hair and skin of the body, and I don't dare to damage it if it is received by my parents. This is the beginning of filial piety."

"Oh, by the way, you said you wanted it but you have worldly concerns..."

The master frowned slightly and sighed softly: "You shaved your hair because you no longer have your parents or elders at home? How offended I am."

"The old benefactor's words are wrong."

Zen Master Fawu's face looked a little ugly, and he frowned and said: "Monks should be empty of all four elements and cut off the world of mortals. There is no difference between parents and living beings."

"That's unreasonable!"

The master's expression suddenly changed: "Your parents gave birth to you and raised you. When you come here, just say, 'The four elements are empty, cut off the world of mortals.' Do you know what the word 'filial piety' means?"

"..."

Zen Master Fawu glanced at the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng carefully and closed his mouth.

The thoughts of Tianzhu Buddhism are quite pure.

I feel that people are reincarnated by cause and effect, and all living beings are parents and children of each other.

Being his parents in this life, they may be his children in the next life. Everything is a temporary dependence. If you take it too seriously, it will seem ridiculous and persistent and you can't see through it.

According to this idea, the authority of the emperor's parents is gone, and the Buddha is the only faith. We must understand all illusions.

Therefore, in the early Buddhist scriptures, there are no records of eminent monks repaying their parents.

But when it spread to China, this concept was too contemptuous of human ethics and was resented by many people.

Therefore, after the localization of Buddhism, the concept of "filial piety" did begin to be introduced.

But Buddhist filial piety is completely different from Confucianism.

Money cannot be given to parents.

After all, Buddhism emphasizes on escaping from the five desires and six objects, and money is a karmic hindrance.

Theoretically, the money was also given to the Buddha, and at best it was only managed by the monks.

Therefore, Buddhism advocates being compassionate and doing good deeds to accumulate merit, so that these merits can be "dedicated" to the parents, repaying the kindness of upbringing, so that the parents can be reincarnated and give birth to a good child.

Buddhism believes that this concept of filial piety is the real filial piety, which is far higher than Confucianism.

But at this time, this concept had not yet been fully formed, and there was no classical support.

Zen Master Fawu thought for a while and felt that it would be better to remain silent.

After all, the more you say, the more likely you are to make mistakes.

What if any of the words made Ancient Buddha Randeneng feel unhappy, and others would later accuse him of misinterpreting Buddhist scriptures and being disloyal to the Buddha...

That would be bad luck!

"Excellent, excellent, the poor monk is Kasyapa, a disciple of the Buddha. According to the poor monk, although the old benefactor is quite wise, it is a pity that his intention is still shallow."

Seeing the monks bowing their heads and pretending to be dead, Venerable Kassapa laughed and shook his head, then walked out casually: "Filial piety has its own merits. When we monks leave their parents, we do not abandon them. The poor monk feels that the so-called providing food and clothing, treating each other with courtesy, and honoring our ancestors, They are all filial piety that the secular Confucians take for granted, and they are nothing more than 'little filial piety' worth mentioning."

"Oh? Do Buddhists also have filial piety?"

The master's face softened slightly: "Then what is great filial piety?"

"The poor monk feels that the Buddha should be very kind and compassionate. He gives up family ties and cares in order to save all sentient beings. He also sacrifices small filial piety to achieve great filial piety."

Venerable Kasyapa said with a smile: "If you can diligently observe the precepts, practice diligently, and achieve enlightenment in one day, you can transcend your parents and go to the Paradise of Paradise in the West, where you can enjoy eternal life, peace and ease. Isn't it far better than the human world? Those crazy men and women?”

"Achieving righteousness and surpassing your parents?"

The Master nodded and looked at the warrior monks everywhere: "Can they all transcend their parents and go to the Western Paradise?"

"...I'm afraid it won't work."

Venerable Kasyapa was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"How many people can we have?"

"Amitabha! The poor monk only said that if they can realize the Buddha's true enlightenment, they can save all sentient beings, surpass their parents, and achieve great filial piety."

"But their wisdom and mind are all different, and each of them has his or her own cause and effect. Poor monks should not lie."

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Venerable Kassapa's mouth: "The great path of Buddhism can be seen in one's own nature. When the old donor enters my Buddhist door, he can have a glimpse of the ultimate truth of the great path."

Golden light flashed, and dark golden Brahma flowers appeared beside Kasyapa. The flowers bloomed and fell, and they were impermanent.

When the flowers bloom, it seems that the world was created and the world evolved; when the flowers fall, everything is silent and the reincarnation of cause and effect occurs.

The mysterious smile contains countless truths and all kinds of impermanence.

When Buddha picked up flowers and Kasyapa smiled, Zen began to exist!

"Your Majesty is so merciful!"

All the gods and monks smiled as if they had seen enlightenment, as if they had seen the true nature.

"There are three thousand great avenues, all leading to the same destination. There is a great great truth, and you may not have to find it through your Buddhist door."

"Then as a disciple of Buddha, can you achieve Zhengtuan? Can you save all sentient beings?"

The Master casually glanced at the Bala Flower for a few times, shook his head and said, "Are your parents now enjoying eternal life in the Western Paradise, peaceful and comfortable?"

"Amitabha! The old benefactor is too prejudiced against me as a Buddhist. He has inner demons that he doesn't realize. I'm afraid even a poor monk won't be able to save you."

Kassapa was silent for a while, then sighed softly: "Please ask the ancient Buddha to use the supreme mantra to overwhelm the heretics."

"The old benefactor can compete with the flower-carrying dharma body of Venerable Kassapa, and his mind is as stable as a rock. Even a few words from me cannot shake his mind."

"Today we are here to enlighten sentient beings so that all human beings in this world can believe in Buddhism. We have no time to argue with the old donor. Please don't be offended."

Ran Deng Buddha secretly picked up the Ding Haizhu and said with a smile: "Wuneng, as a Buddhist protector and Bodhisattva, it is your duty to take the lead."

"ah?"

Zhu Bajie was also unambiguous, and hurriedly shook his head and muttered: "I won't go! This old man looks very powerful at first glance, and I have an empty stomach, how can I fight?"

"..."

The angry Buddha had a few black lines on his forehead: "I still have a few pieces of fairy lotus in my sleeves, which were given by Taiyi Zhenren in the past. If you can subdue the heretics, I will give them to you as an encouragement."

"Fairy lotus?"

Zhu Bajie was stunned: "It's Nezha, right?"

Rendeng Buddha: "..."

"Oh, Buddha, please don't say it, I understand."

Zhu Bajie scratched his head and smiled flatteringly: "Why is Buddha so polite? Since Buddha has spoken, I, this old pig, will go through fire and water without any complaints."

"Then I will wait and see."

Rendeng Buddha gritted his teeth secretly and smiled reluctantly.

Although he is ruthless and unscrupulous, he still pays attention to his identity on the surface.

There is really no good way to deal with a shameless rogue like Zhu Bajie.

"Old sir, you can see that I am helpless and have to offend you."

Zhu Bajie walked to the master and waved his hand: "I have always used this nail rake. Old sir, do you have a good one?"

The Buddha's power surged, and a huge nine-tooth nail rake appeared in Zhu Bajie's hand.

The nail rake is exquisitely made, with nine-tooth jade fangs and double-ring gold pendant leaves.

When it was shaken, there was Buddha's flame rolling and the light was thousands of feet!

"You, a pig demon, are quite polite. Hmm, this spiked rake looks good too."

The Master nodded and drew out the De Sword: "This sword is called 'De'. Go ahead."

"This bronze sword is a bit... eh? De... De, De Sword?"

As if thinking of something, Zhu Bajie's eyes showed horror: "Old, old sir, is your surname Kong?"

"My surname is Kong and my given name is Qiu. People call me 'Master'."

The Master was a little puzzled: "Am I so famous in the future? Even a pig demon has heard of my name. Then I'll let you have three moves."

"No, no, no! Master, don't do that!"

Zhu Bajie was sweating: "I , I am Bian Zhuang, and I am your fellow countryman! "

"Bian Zhuangzi? Yes, there is indeed such a person among the doctors of Lu State. "

The master frowned slightly: "Didn't you die on the battlefield a long time ago? How did you become a pig demon of Buddhism? "

"Although I died in battle, I happened to meet the shortage of people in the heaven, and I was lucky enough to be recruited to heaven. The Jade Emperor also took a fancy to me and gave me the position of Marshal of Tianpeng. "

Zhu Bajie wiped his sweat and quickly put away the nine-toothed rake: "As for the pig demon, it's a long story. Master, don't hit me, let's have some wine and cut a plate of pig head meat later, and talk while eating. "

Facing such a powerful enemy that he couldn't afford to offend, Zhu Bajie was still very honest.

Speaking of which, he was also very obedient to the Jade Emperor...

The Jade Emperor didn't let the gods fall in love casually.

This guy understood the spirit and planned to skip the love link and directly come to the overlord...

But the Jade Emperor was very dissatisfied and still demoted him to a pig body.

Of course, it was his own fault to end up like this.

"Since we are acquaintances, it is fine..."

"When I heard that you died in battle, I asked Zilu to help you collect your body. But Zilu said that after you killed hundreds of people, you were surrounded by the army and chopped into minced meat, and there was no way to collect it."

The Master shook his head and put away the sword of virtue: "Zilu said that your miserable state was the only one he had ever seen in his life. After he came back, he sighed to me."

"Zilu?"

Zhu Bajie grinned: "Then my miserable state should not be the only one he had ever seen in his life. He will have a chance to see it in the future."

"Ah?"

"Let's not talk about this for now ..."

Zhu Bajie walked to Randeng with a swagger: "Randeng Buddha, Confucius is my fellow villager. It is not convenient for me to take action. Let's forget it."

"Since you have entered my Buddhist sect, you should have cut off worldly ties long ago. How can you say that we are fellow villagers?"

Randeng Buddha said coldly: "As a Bodhisattva, you still have no Zen heart. Do you want me to expel you from Buddhism?"

"Is there such a good thing?"

Zhu Bajie was overjoyed: "Buddha, you must keep your word! Quickly expel me from Buddhism, so that I can go back to Gao Laozhuang to find my wife. . "

"... Zhu Bajie, get off! Stop talking nonsense!"

Rendeng Buddha was so angry that he almost spat out blood, and said angrily: "This pig is a disciple of Jin Chanzi, and is also the nephew of Venerable Kasyapa. I wonder what advice Venerable Kasyapa has?"

"Amitabha, I didn't expect Confucius to come today. No wonder I can't convince him!"

Kasyapa sighed and said: "The Master is the founder of Confucianism, enough to compete with the Buddha and the Taoist. If I ask the Master for advice alone, it would be too disrespectful."

"Confucianism? The Buddha, the Taoist..., go I think I understand. "

The Master nodded: "I didn't think you monks would follow the rules of the martial world. Let's just go together and save trouble."

"The status of the ancient Buddha Dipankara is respected, so let him do a notarization. I will join hands with other fellow monks to ask the Master for advice. "

Kasyapa sighed and turned into the dazzling Arhat's true body: "We are sorry!"

"Amitabha!"

The eight heavenly dragons, the six Dings and six Jias, and even the guardian Galan, all monks sat cross-legged and chanted the Buddha's name.

The vast Buddha power gathered and turned into a golden Utara flower that reached the sky and the earth, as if it had spanned the ages.

The void shook, and the golden Utara flower, urged by Kasyapa, hit the Master like a star.

"Come on!"

The Master's expression remained unchanged, and he stretched out his left hand to block the crushing golden porphyry.

"Hit!"

At this moment, the ancient Buddha Ran Deng suddenly stood up and raised his left hand.

The Buddha's light shone thousands of miles, and twenty-four Dinghai Pearls shot out at the same time, turning into twenty-four heavens.

The heavens collapsed rapidly, turning into a black hole-like body, carrying the breath of destroying the stars, and crushed towards the Master.

"It's good to come!"

The Master laughed loudly, stretched out his right hand, and grabbed the Dinghai Pearl without giving in.

In the explosion that sounded like the shattering of stars, the Master snorted lightly, his body shook slightly, and his expression remained calm.

"Master, we will never meet again!"

The ancient Buddha Ran Deng breathed a sigh of relief, showing a strange smile, and raised his right hand.

The chanting of Sanskrit from nowhere resounded throughout the world, and a branch emitting pure and brilliant light suddenly appeared in the palm of the Buddha Ran Deng.

The rain of flowers was colorful, and the treasure was solemn.

The Buddha of Burning Lamp gently brushed the branches, thousands of auspicious airs flowed, and a colorful divine light suddenly brushed towards the Master.

"Nothing, we will never see each other again."

Almost at the same time, a cold and ethereal female voice sounded.

Along with the female voice, a pink hydrangea with a diameter of more than one foot and a pearl necklace fell from the thirty-three heavens.

It was as if a red sun appeared in the sky, and the surrounding space collapsed.

As if sensing the coming of great terror, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree forcibly retracted the seven-color divine light and suddenly brushed upwards.

The hydrangea fell, and the bright red infinite light collided with the seven-color divine light, annihilating each other in silence.

"Nu... Nuwa?"
