Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Tang Seng was named the Imperial Master of the Noble Kingdom, he immediately began to arrange for his people to suppress these monks who only knew how to enjoy themselves and do nothing.

    The first one to bear the brunt was naturally Cijue Temple. He led a group of officers, soldiers and excited people into the temple.

    "What do you want to do?" the abbot of Cijue Temple asked angrily.

    "If the Buddha does not do anything, then there is no need to exist. Move all these Buddha statues away." Tang Monk shouted.

    "No, this is dedicated to the Precious Moonlight Buddha. If you remove the Buddha statue and cause the Buddha to be furious, you will definitely suffer divine punishment." Fang Zheng said loudly.

    "Haha, he didn't show up when we needed his help, but he showed up when we wanted to smash his Buddha statue. Is this a Buddha?" Tang Monk sneered.

    He took action and broke into the hall himself.

    ???????????????????????????????????????: The magnificent hall is filled with gold and greenery, and incense is flourishing. In the center, the lifelike golden Buddha is looking at everyone with compassionate eyes.

    Tang Monk stared at him, as if he saw an angry Buddha through the golden statue.

    But he was not afraid and said loudly: "This golden Buddha is made of gold. I melted it and used it to build bridges and pave roads!"

    His voice was so loud that the people outside shouted: "The national teacher is wise."

    "I can't do it, I can't do it." Fang Zheng knelt down in front of Tang Monk and begged for mercy.

    The other monks were also like this. They all knelt down and tried to stop Tang Seng.

    Tang Monk looked at them coldly and asked: "Are you worried that the Buddha will be destroyed, or are you worried that you will no longer be able to rely on incense money to make a living in the future?"

    The monks were silent.

    Tang Seng looked see-through and said in a cold voice: "What you care about is never the Buddha you enshrine, but the Buddha who can bring you benefits. Is that what I said?"

    "No." The abbot retorted sharply.

    "Oh? Then tell me, why can't I tear down this Buddha statue?" Tang Seng asked.

    "Because the Buddha will be angry, you will pay the price for your ignorance." The abbot said seriously.

    "Then I want to see how angry this Buddha is." Tang Monk looked firm and ordered: "Destroy it for me!"

    With an order, a group of soldiers rushed in. They looked at the expressionless golden Buddha and those emotionless eyes, and suddenly felt a sense of fear.

    After all, so many years of worshiping Buddha have given them an inner fear of Buddha.

    " Destroying the Buddha can never be accomplished overnight. Everyone still has a little respect for the Buddha in their hearts.

    Even if the king and Tang Monk say this, they cannot completely change it. Only with the passage of time will the fear of Buddha be slowly eliminated.

    So when they held weapons and looked at the giant Buddha, they did not take action immediately.

    Tang Monk continued: "Don't worry, even if you destroy this temple, the Buddha will not show up. These Buddhas who only know how to take care of themselves will only take action when they are in danger."

    His words were resounding and gave everyone a lot of confidence.

    He even took out a bundle of ropes, jumped on the huge Buddha statue, and tied it to his body.

    Seeing such a scene, the soldiers also gained confidence and stepped forward to help.

    The monks of Cijue Temple knelt on the ground and recited Buddhist scriptures. In the face of the power of the country, the only thing they could do was to pray for the blessing of the Buddha.

    It¡¯s a pity that the Buddha is now a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river and cannot protect himself.

    Boom¡ª¡ª

    When the huge Buddha statue was pushed onto the candlestick with the combined efforts of everyone, the huge sound shocked all the monks, and the people outside burst into warm cheers.

    Their long-suppressed emotions were released at this moment.

    Tang Monk called to the soldiers to carry the Buddha statue out.

    With the joint efforts of dozens of people, the Buddha statue was sent out of the temple and placed in the open space outside.

    "Call special personnel to get all this gold." Tang Seng said loudly.

    "Yes, Imperial Master." A general said happily.

    They did not wait for the Buddha's punishment, so they were naturally excited.

    But the people who were watching no longer had the slightest awe in their eyes. They cheered and shouted, "Long live the Imperial Master."

    Tang Monk waved his hand: "You have to believe in people who can help you, such as your king and your ministers. If one day they no longer help you, you will overthrow them."

    His shocking words shocked all the soldiers present.Shocked.

    When they thought about it carefully, they felt that Tang Seng's words were very reasonable, so they even more praised his mighty national master.

    "Master, what should we do with these monks?" A general came up and asked.

    Those monks who only knew how to worship Buddha and seek scriptures sat there blankly, as if their souls had been drained.

    "Aren't they worried that they won't be able to live without the incense money? Arrange them to farm and let them support themselves. As for the old man, just throw him into the prison and let him out when he wakes up." Tang Monk ordered  road.

    "As ordered!" The general immediately made arrangements.

    Soon, under the command of Tang Monk, this temple that had stood for countless years was overthrown by people who were not protected by it. Those seemingly lofty Buddha statues also became piles of gold to help build infrastructure in the city.  .

    ?Perhaps, in a sense, this can be regarded as allowing them to do a good thing for the people.

    On the other hand, Tang Seng did not demolish the entire temple, but turned it into a school so that children who could not study could learn knowledge.

    He implemented his ideas perfectly and began to continuously pull out the Buddha rooted in people's hearts.

    In the air, when Di Ting saw this scene, his brows almost turned into a frown: "Master Guanyin, are we really not going to stop him?"

    "How to stop it?" Guanyin asked.

    She was also very helpless. Could she really let herself perform a miracle and punish these people?

    ¡°That would not only anger the king of Zhuzi Kingdom, but also make Tang Monk hate the West.

    If Tang Seng really gives up his burden at that time, the disaster of Journey to the West will completely collapse.

    Once the calamity cannot be terminated and the saints are displeased, they will be the ones to suffer.

    So Guanyin can only do it in a gentle way.

    She thought about it for so long and decided to talk to Tang Seng in person.

    Thinking of this, she descended into the mortal world, transformed into an ordinary mortal, and came to Tang Seng.

    "Tang Sanzang!" She called out softly.

    Tang Monk looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva, who looked like an ordinary person in front of him. Instead of saluting, he frowned and said, "Guanyin Bodhisattva? What are you doing here?"

    "I'm here to make you look back." Guanyin approached, his eyes flashing with divine light, his face had a serious expression, and his voice was also somewhat ethereal and sacred.

    However, Tang Monk didn't eat this one at all. Instead, he said, "I thought Guanyin Bodhisattva was here to help me?"
