    In the Tang Dynasty calendar, in the autumn of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Master Xuanzang finally came to Lingshan in the west from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East after going through untold hardships.  The Tathagata Buddha set up the Yulan Basin and invited people with great supernatural powers.  At this time, four emperors, five elders, six divisions, seven yuan, eight poles, nine Yao, ten capitals, and Qianzhenwansheng rushed to the meeting.

    Sanqing also expressed that Master Xuandu came from Taiqingtian, Yun Zhongzi came from Yuqingtian, Daoist Duobao came from Shangqingtian, and all the trues took their seats, and some monks and nuns offered immortal tea and immortal dates.  The Tathagata Buddha opened his mouth slightly, explained the great law, and preached the righteous fruit. What he talked about was the wonderful scriptures of the three vehicles, and the five aggregates were strict.  But I saw that day the dragon circled together, and the flowers and rain were colorful.  It is exactly: "The mind of Zen shines brightly on a thousand rivers and moons, and the true nature covers thousands of miles of heaven."

    After the Buddha said, let the golden cicada come forward to see the truth, but he saw the four virtues, the golden body full of wisdom, the pearls hanging from the tassels, and the incense rings knotted with treasures.  When all the truths saw it, they all praised: "What a future Buddha, worthy of being a disciple of the Buddha!" ??The Buddha also ordered Guanyin Bodhisattva to come forward and asked, "How many hardships have the four monks of the Tang Dynasty experienced all the way?"

    Thousands of gods stretched their ears and listened carefully. This difficult rule is an agreement between Taoist Taishang Laojun and Tathagata Buddha, which represents the trend of the ebb and flow of Taoism and Buddhism.  In Dongtu, Taoism is bound to decline. After all, the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures are very attractive to mortals, so these immortals have to pay attention.

    Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva respectfully said: "Reporting to my Buddha, I have received meritorious deeds to take refuge in the decree, and remember the Tang Monk's difficulties: the first difficulty is the golden cicada being demoted, the second difficulty is killing several times after birth, the third difficulty is throwing the river on the full moon, and finding relatives to report  Injustice is the fourth difficulty, going out of the city to meet a tiger is the fifth difficulty, falling into the pit is the sixth difficulty, going up the Shuangcha Ridge is the seventh difficulty, the top of the Liangjie mountain is the eighth difficulty, changing horses in the steep ravine is the ninth difficulty, being burned at night is the tenth difficulty, losing  There are eleven difficulties in the cassock; twelve difficulties in crossing the Liusha River; thirteen difficulties in the Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals; fourteen difficulties in the sea of ??flames for thousands of miles;

    Taoist Duobao heard the words, and sneered, "Guanyin's words are wrong. One difficulty and one passage, but one disaster and one passage on the West Heaven Road. The golden cicada was demoted, killed several times after birth, thrown into the river at the full moon, looking for relatives and revenge.  It's all childhood work, so what does it have to do with learning scriptures from the West?"

    Yun Zhongzi also laughed and said: "The Bodhisattva's arithmetic is wrong. Being burned at night and losing his cassock are both difficult. How come it is a dilemma when it comes to the mouth of the Bodhisattva? Another Zhuba Patriarch controlled the Liusha River. When the holy monk crossed the river, there was a dilemma.  Monsters are spread across eight hundred miles of pontoon bridges, and every ten miles they serve delicious food and entertain them hospitablely. It is not a difficult task. Zhu Ba Patriarch set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference not to embarrass the holy monks, but the monsters themselves.  Is it considered a difficulty? The sea of ??flames for thousands of miles did not hurt a single hair of the holy monk, and it was not a problem when it was extinguished by the Kui Niu under the seat of the sage of the Qing Dynasty. In this way"

    Daoist Duobao and Yun Zhongzi looked at each other and smiled, feeling a sense of sympathy for each other. They laughed together and said, "On this road to the west, there are only six difficulties! You should combine six volumes of Buddhist scriptures, hand them over to the holy monk, and send them to the Eastern Tang Dynasty  .¡±

    As soon as this remark came out, not only did the gods and Buddhas change their colors, but even the Tathagata Buddha did not look good. Journey to the West has been arranged for more than two thousand years, and it is to pass all the Buddhist scriptures to the East and crowd out Taoism. Now, a pig demon makes a fuss  , Turning the originally planned ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties into six difficulties, and the eighty-one scriptures into six volumes of scriptures, how could the Buddhas not be angry about this matter?

    Master Avalokitesvara caught a glimpse of all the immortals laughing secretly, and changed his expression, "Brother Dao, what you said is wrong. Jin Chanzi was born in the tenth world. Although he was not on the road to Xitian, his heart was already on the road. He experienced all kinds of twists and turns when he was young.  One difficulty. When passing through Heifeng Mountain, the fire at night had nothing to do with the loss of cassock, so we were in a dilemma. When passing through Liusha River, although Patriarch Zhu Ba was kindly entertaining him, Jin Chanzi was terrified and fearful.  It can be counted as a difficulty. Zhuba Patriarch gathered 100,000 great demons in Hezhou, Xiniu, and set up a meeting of ten thousand immortals, resulting in the death and injury of countless demon clans, and made Jin Chanzi feel compassion again.  It is difficult for a cicada to escape from a fire."

    Both Yun Zhongzi and Taoist Duobao sneered, and were about to refute, Master Xuandu laughed and said, "You two juniors, why should you be as knowledgeable as him? He said that the fifteen volumes of the scriptures are the fifteen volumes of the scriptures.  What's the point of letting him have eighty-one volumes of scriptures? Only by being humble and courteous can we show the grandeur of my Eastern Taoist sect."

    Yun Zhongzi and Taoist Duobao stopped arguing, and said with a smile: "As the master said, if the holy monk fell down when he was a child, it can be regarded as a difficult problem, that's all, that's all! I'll leave it to you!"  What he said was so interesting that the gods who came to the meeting laughed when they heard it.

    All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were ashamed when they heard the words, but the face of Guanyin remained unchanged, and he ordered Jin Chanzi to fetch fifteen volumes of scriptures and go to the east to preach.

    Taoist Duobao looked at the faces of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Vajras, Venerables, Arhats, etc. for a week, saw many familiar faces, and said with a sneer, "There are fifteen volumes of sutras in the Buddhist family.  The Conferred Gods list is all fish and meat on the list, pitiful, pitiful!" After saying that, he didn't look at the audience.The face of the gods and Buddhas turned, and they walked away.

    Yun Zhongzi also looked at the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas with a smile for a week, shook his head and said with a smile: "It's a pity, it's a pity. You take care of it!" He drove an auspicious cloud and drifted away.

    All the gods and immortals in the heavenly court also stood up and said goodbye one after another, as if avoiding the plague.  Only Master Xuandu stayed at the end, took out two scarlet invitation cards from his sleeve, handed them to Venerable Ananda, and said to the Buddha: "My master invites the Buddha to attend the meeting at the Eight Scenic Palaces in Yujing, Tianxuandu, Taiqing.  Regarding the matter of the gods, there are saints from the Shangqing, Yuqing, Nuwa and other saints attending the event, and the Buddha is busy with his journey to the west, so if he sees Amitabha, please invite him to go with him.¡±

    After finishing speaking, Great Master Xuandu bowed to the Buddha and left quietly. Only the gods and Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Vajras, King Ming, His Holiness, and Arhats were left looking at each other, and they all saw the meaning of fear in each other's eyes.

    The last time I conferred the gods, a great battle wiped out all the immortals of Jiejiao. There were as many as 90,000 people on the list, not including disciples of other religions. It was a tragedy for ascetics!

    This time I am going to confer the gods again, but who is the disciple of which sect is on the list of conferred gods?  teach?  There are few people.  Explain and teach?  There are few people.  Stop teaching?  There are few people.  Among the four religions, only Buddhism has many disciples. Could it be that Buddhism is really facing a catastrophe?

    Buddhist disciples, but when there is danger, they say: "Bless the gods and Buddhas!" Now that the gods and Buddhas are in trouble, who will protect them?

    The gloomy clouds above Lingshan, the well-behaved Menglan Basin almost turned into a mourning meeting, and there was no smile, even Maitreya Buddha, who always smiled, felt uneasy, and secretly looked at the Buddha's face.

    The Buddha was silent for a while, then suddenly got up from the throne, and said to Master Guanyin: "You continue to preside over the meeting, and go to the west as a teacher." All the gods and Buddhas were slightly stunned.  World, what did the Buddha do in that land outside the transformation?

    However, Ran Deng Gu Buddha and others suddenly remembered something, immediately relieved, with a smile on their face, they chanted the Buddha's name, and said:

    "Namo Amitabha Buddha!" ??(Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
