Chapter 352 Everything is left unsaid
When Guanyin Bodhisattva went to Lingshan to report to Maitreya Buddha that Jin Chanzi had awakened his true spirit, Jin Chanzi and Sun Wukong also came to Yingchoujian.
But when the little white dragon who was banished here had just eaten Jin Chanzi's white horse and was about to escape, Jin Chanzi's magical power directly blew his body away.
Little White Dragon begged for mercy in a panic: "Holy monk, spare my life! It was Guanyin Bodhisattva who asked me to do this! He asked me to be your mount and protect you on your journey to the West to obtain the scriptures!"
"Guanyin?"
Jin Chanzi was unmoved and sneered, "Where did Guanyin find these crooked melons and cracked dates? You dare to eat horses today, will you dare to eat humans in a few days? I want you to pay for my white horse's life!"
After saying that, a golden light shot out from his fingertips, annihilating the little white dragon's true spirit. No matter how the little white dragon begged for mercy, Jin Chanzi pretended not to see it.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but frown and said, "Master, since this dragon was sent by Guanyin Bodhisattva, it would be a bit bad for you to kill it directly like this!"
"What are you afraid of?"
Jin Chanzi said without hesitation: "The white dragon ate my white horse first, so it is only natural for me to kill him. Even Guanyin can't say anything!"
"Forehead!"
Sun Wukong felt that he could not see through Jin Chanzi. He hesitated for a long time before he said carefully, "But doesn't Buddhism teach that the sea of suffering is endless and turning back is the shore?"
"Yes!"
Jin Chanzi did not deny it, but nodded and said: "But forgiving him is the Buddha's business! My mission is to send him to see the Buddha!"
As he spoke, he added: "I am a disciple of Mahavairocana Tathagata and the future Buddha. I naturally have the final say over the Buddhist scriptures!"
Sun Wukong just felt that his eyes had been opened.
But the Six Dings and Six Jias, the Five Directions Jiedis, the Four Valued Officials, and the eighteen guardian deities sent by Buddhism, who were observing in secret to ensure that there would be no accidents on the journey to the West, could not help but change their expressions. Some of these guardian gods belonged to Buddhism, while others belonged to Heaven, and they were all shocked by Jin Chanzi's remarks.
Everyone looked at each other, talked to each other, and then two of them flew towards the Heavenly Palace and Lingshan respectively.
At this moment, Guanyin was also uneasy!
After seeing the protector of the religion, Galan, rush to Lingshan and repeat what Jin Chanzi had said to Sun Wukong in front of many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan, Guanyin Bodhisattva's face changed completely.
She didn't expect that not only did Jin Chanzi awaken his memory, but he also wanted to compete with Maitreya for the position of Buddha. She couldn't help but look up at Maitreya's expression.
At this moment, Maitreya's face was as gloomy as water. He looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva and ordered: "Venerable Guanyin, please ask the Golden Cicada what it means for me."
Naturally, he couldn't personally show up for such a matter, so letting Guanyin go and contact Jin Chanzi to test his attitude became the best option.
"Yes!"
Guanyin received the order and immediately headed eastward. She found the master and his disciple who were fighting against the black bear demon. Behind them, she saw a blazing fire in the Guanyin Temple.
She didn't expect that in just the time it took for the master and disciple to reach the Guanyin Temple, and even set fire to the temple where her statue was enshrined!
"stop!"
Seeing this, Guanyin quickly showed up and stopped the fight between the two sides. She looked carefully and found that Jin Chanzi had recovered the cultivation level of Taiyi Jinxian.
She raised her eyebrows coldly, looked at Jin Chanzi and asked, "Jin Chanzi, what do you want to do?"
Now she is certain that Jin Chanzi has awakened his past memories and magical powers, so she naturally will no longer treat him as an ordinary mortal.
Jin Chanzi smiled and bowed slightly to Guanyin Bodhisattva: "Greetings, Bodhisattva, but... I don't know whether I should call you Venerable Guanyin or Elder Faming?"
Guanyin was stunned when she heard this.
Since Jin Chanzi knew that Fa Ming was her incarnation, it was obvious that the time it took for her memory to awaken was beyond her imagination, and it was very likely that she awakened in Jinshan Temple.
"A name is just a title!" Guanyin Bodhisattva was silent for a moment, and then responded: "You can call me whatever you want!"
Her voice sank, and she looked at Jin Chanzi and said, "You should know the importance of the Journey to the West to our Buddhist sect. Why are you still acting so recklessly?"
"When did I mess up?"
Jin Chanzi smiled and said, "My master, Mahavairocana Tathagata, is the living Buddha of Buddhism! As his disciple, how could I harm the interests of Buddhism?"
A Buddhist aura suddenly emerged from his body, and he put his hands together in a gesture of "The Dharma cannot be understood without debate! I just think that Maitreya Buddha is not suitable to be the leader of Buddhism, so I plan to go to Lingshan to debate Buddhism with him! If he can't even win the debate with me, he might as well abdicate and give up the position of the Buddha!"
"you!"
Guanyin's expression froze. He had not expected that Jin Chanzi would not hide his ambition at all.
There are countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan, and there are countless people who want to become the leader of Buddhism. Even Guanyin Bodhisattva has this ambition in her heart.
However, Jin Chanzi is the first one in the world to be so straightforward and announce it to the public!
Guanyin was a little bit unbelievable.
But when I thought that the Jin Chanzi in front of me was that man's disciple, it seemed natural!
After all... like teacher, like disciple!
Han Yi was able to attain the state of Hunyuan and become a genuine saint in such a short period of time. In addition to Daozu's planning, his imaginative thinking was also crucial... Otherwise, he would have become Daozu's puppet long ago, so how could he possibly jump out of the chessboard that Daozu had carefully arranged?
She immediately understood what Jin Chanzi meant. As a person destined to obtain Buddhist scriptures, he was the focus of much attention and this was the best time for him to fight against Maitreya.
His arrogant words were a blatant declaration of war against Maitreya. No matter what Maitreya thought, he had to debate with Jin Chanzi and could not resort to tricks in secret, otherwise he would be questioned as not worthy of his reputation.
This is a conspiracy!
An upright conspiracy!
Moreover, although Han Yi was suppressed, he was also the legitimate Vairocana Buddha of Buddhism. The fighting power of a saint was always feared by people.
In fact, there is a voice in Buddhism that says that in Buddhism, there are four saints, namely, the Buddha Jie Yin, the Buddha Mother Cundi, the Tathagata Many Treasures and the Tathagata Vairocana, which can be said to be unique in the prehistoric world. On the other hand, the three religions of Xuanmen are now falling apart, and it is time for Buddhism to completely destroy Xuanmen.
After all, the resources and fortune of the ancient world are limited. If Xuanmen takes more, Buddhism will take less. They can completely destroy Chanjiao and Taoism first.
These Buddhist disciples believed that Master Tongtian, Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun had completely torn their relations. If they attacked the disciples of the Chan and Taoist sects, the Jie sect would only be happy to see it happen.
In addition, now that several saints are far away from the prehistoric world, it is a golden opportunity for them to expand the influence of Buddhism. Even if the saints return to the prehistoric world at that time, they will not be without saints to deal with it.
Of course, this is just the idea of some extremely radical people in Buddhism. Most Buddhist disciples do not dare to think of destroying the two saints' traditions.
However, a single example can reveal the whole picture. If Buddhist disciples do not want to gain more luck and more opportunities, then they themselves certainly do not believe it.
However, Maitreya acted fairly and peacefully, and he was quite prestigious among the Buddhas in Lingshan, so he suppressed the ideas of these radicals.
Jin Chanzi did not stay in Lingshan for a long time. Most people only knew that he was a disciple of Vairocana Tathagata, but they were not clear about his specific personality.
Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned and was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Your character of wanting the world to be in chaos is exactly the same as your teacher's!"
She was born as a disciple of the Chan sect, and others thought she was a traitor to the Chan sect, but few people knew that she joined Buddhism with the permission of Yuanshi Tianzun.
Moreover, she had always been somewhat tempted by the idea that Yuanshi Tianzun had proposed, which was to combine the teachings of Buddhism and Chanjiao, to develop a separate "Zen" lineage within the Buddhist system, and to use the luck of Buddhism to improve her cultivation. However, she had never found an opportunity to establish a school within Buddhism!
Explain the teaching?
No, it’s Zen!
She is now a person with great supernatural powers who has killed two corpses. If Buddhism flourishes in the world, she may be able to kill three corpses. But if she cannot find her own way, killing three corpses will be the limit of her life!
She was naturally not satisfied with this!
Seeing Han Yi attain the Dao of Hunyuan and become a genuine saint, her ambitions also burst out, hoping that she could also attain the Dao of sainthood one day.
But although Buddhism today is not a monolithic entity, if there is no major change, her desire to develop "Zen Buddhism" will be nothing but a foolish dream!
She needs a chance!
It's a good thing that Jin Chanzi is ambitious, and the chaos in the ancient world is also a good thing. Now that the saints are gone, only by creating chaos can she get an opportunity to make further progress.
Guanyin looked at Jin Chanzi and said, "The position of Buddha should be occupied by the virtuous! If you can defeat Maitreya, Lingshan will respect you as the master from now on. But why did you kill Ao Lie?"
She said righteously: "The team of pilgrims was decided after consultation between the Saint Zhunti and various forces. You are making enemies for my Buddhist sect!"
"make enemies?"
Jin Chanzi sneered, "Does the Dragon Clan have the qualifications to be an enemy of our Buddhist sect now? The ancestor dragon has passed away, and most of the essence in the Dragon Tomb was killed by the Void Emperor Daojun. The present is different from the past. Why should we share a part of their merits?"
He had heard from Han Yi that before Zulong attacked the sky, Zhunti had indeed discussed the journey to the West to obtain the scriptures with Li Er, Haotian, the dragon clan and others.
But that was before!
His current goal is to trigger a fight between Buddhism and Taoism, so naturally he will not care about the previous alliance.
Besides, what does the alliance made between Zhunti and them have to do with him, Jin Chanzi?
Jin Chanzi looked at Guanyin, then at the black bear demon beside him: "Don't let outsiders keep the good things in your field! This black bear demon should be a member of the Bodhisattva! Since Xiaobailong is dead, why not let this black bear demon replace Xiaobailong and join the journey to the West? I believe Guanyin will not mind a little more merit, right?"
"This……"
Upon hearing this, Guanyin was extremely moved.
Just as Jin Chanzi said, the Black Bear Demon is her subordinate. If he can join the Journey to the West team, she will be able to gain more benefits after the journey is over.
"I will report the matter here to Maitreya Buddha truthfully!" Guanyin looked at Jin Chanzi and said seriously: "But since the little white dragon has fallen, we should find a living being to replace him! Since you value this black bear, I am naturally willing to give it up!"
As she said that, she looked at the Black Bear Demon and ordered, "Heifeng, since Daoist Fellow Jinchan values your ability, you should follow him on the journey to the west!"
Of course, she also did not forget to paint a big cake for the black bear demon: "When you escort the pilgrim to Lingshan, I will promise you a Buddhahood, how about it?"
"Disciple obey!"
The black bear demon immediately bowed down to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
As for Jin Chanzi, he looked at Guanyin meaningfully, as if everything was self-evident.
