Too much fruit

Chapter 822: The demon's sons and grandsons become monks, wear your robes, and destroy your Buddhism
It may be because the Monkey King has regained his rebellious nature after his resurrection, or it may be because he has realized the harm of Mahayana Buddhism, so this Fighting and Victory Buddha particularly despises the Mahayana Buddhism that saves people.

This may be the reason why Sun Wukong chose to help the enlightened one.

If he doesn't want to, even an enlightened being cannot force him to do things for him.

"Let's go."

The dark bird said this, and was about to flap its wings and fly away again.

With his eyesight, he could already see a large amount of smoke rising in the distance, moving towards the center of the city.

Jiang Li also looked over and saw that under the smoke, there were colorful pavilions erected on both sides of the street, with candles as thick as arms erected on top, lit all the way from far to near.

There are also seven treasures of Buddhism hanging outside the colorful building. When the breeze blows, the seven treasures make tinkling sounds, which are crisp and pleasant to the ears.

Amid the rising smoke and incense, there were monks holding banners on the left and right sides, and in the center, monks were carrying two bronze statues and walking slowly towards them.

The bronze statue of the Bodhisattva in the front is solemn and dignified, with a look of compassion, holding a bottle with willow branches in its palm, which is the image of Guanyin. The Bodhisattva statue in the back is pure and holy, holding a seal with his hands, standing with a smile, which is the image of the Mother of No Birth.

The sound of chanting sutras could be heard from afar, and it became louder as the two Buddha statues approached. The believers who came to kneel down on both sides of the street also chanted sutras, which was considered basic practice for the people of the Buddhist country.

Soon, most of the city was filled with the sound of chanting.

Under the current circumstances, the people in the city should be welcoming the statues of the two Bodhisattvas into the temple.

Sun Wukong just didn't want to watch this scene, so he wanted to leave.

"I thought the Great Sage would just smash these two bronze statues." Jiang Li said through telepathy upon seeing this.

"What's the point of smashing two bronze statues? If I can smash two, then those believers below can build another twenty. In the end, they will still suffer."

The black bird glanced down, raised its head slightly, and said, "Besides, who do you think I am? I have changed my temper a long time ago, and I will not expose my whereabouts just for a moment of anger."

They transformed themselves into birds and flew for most of the day, wasn't it just to prevent Tan Wuwei from using his magical powers to detect them?
If I expose my whereabouts because of this meaningless anger, most of the previous day would be wasted.

As he spoke, Sun Wukong had already flown up.

But at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from below.

"Buddha!"

A middle-aged man in brocade clothes shouted loudly, "May the Bodhisattva have mercy and help believers to be reborn in paradise."

he shouted, grabbing large pieces of gold foil and scattering them.

This was like a fuse that immediately ignited the frenzy atmosphere at the scene.

"The Bodhisattva is merciful. Believers are willing to give up all their wealth to save the world, just to go to the Pure Land of Bliss."

Another middle-aged man who was also dressed richly followed suit, taking out handfuls of gold bills from his sleeves and throwing them into the sky.

"Bodhisattva, be merciful."

The wealthy people present threw out all their valuables, including gold, silver, jade, and some even threw away their brocade clothes.

Some of the others picked up money in ecstasy, while others were infected by the enthusiastic atmosphere and bowed their heads in worship, not caring even if their foreheads bleed from hitting the ground. Some poor people wanted to imitate the charity, but they had little money, so they took out a knife and cut off their fingers, imitating the Buddhist story of cutting flesh to feed the eagle.

This was another trigger, and for a time there were many fanatics who committed self-mutilation to show their devotion to Buddhism.

Fanaticism destroys reason, so that people give alms for the sake of giving alms, and even harm themselves for the sake of giving alms. This scene made Sun Wukong, who had originally planned to turn a blind eye, fall back, and his pair of golden eyes stared coldly at the people below, especially the few people who took the lead in inciting the fanatical atmosphere.

"The demons' descendants have begun to wear human skin." The black bird sneered.

The so-called devil's sons and grandsons refer to the devil's disciples of Mokan Xun.

It is recorded in the Buddhist scriptures that Mara said to the Tathagata: In the last days of the Dharma, my sons and grandsons will become monks, wear your robes, destroy your Buddhist teachings, and in the name of Buddha, do the deeds of the devil.

Sun Wukong is worthy of being called a cultural monkey, as he can quote words from Buddhist scriptures at will.

Now is the Dharma Ending Period, and the scene before our eyes is so similar to what Mara-shun described.

There are eight major sources of Buddhist Dharma in the Buddha Kingdom, which are the orthodox teachings of the Buddha Kingdom. Outside of the orthodox teachings, there are three thousand heterodox teachings that do not follow the orthodox teachings. When the Fire House Buddha Hell first emerged, in addition to the assets that Karma Tathagata split from the Buddha Kingdom, there were also heterodox followers.

Now the Buddhist kingdom is in turmoil again, the Buddha's hell of fire has appeared, and the three thousand heretics have taken the opportunity to stir up trouble.

The leaders at the moment are either believers of the Buddha's Hell of Fire or heretics.

As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, his eyes lit up, and a blazing light came from the sky, breaking through the air and ruthlessly devouring those evil demons. At the same time, blazing flames blasted down like meteors, hitting the two Buddha statues, causing them to explode and killing or injuring the surrounding monks.

The black bird immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Li turned his head to look at the bird and asked, "Great Sage, your temper has changed, hasn't it?"

Didn’t you agree not to reveal your whereabouts?
"This is a punishment from heaven. It's the heavens that are angry. What does it have to do with me, Old Sun?"

Sun Wukong snorted and flew away with his wings flapping. "Let's go, we are birds now. How can a bird not run away when seeing this scene?"

"It's too late to run now." Jiang Li whispered, flapping his wings and flying away, but he had already made up his mind to take action.

After Tan Wuwei and Guanyin converted the city, they left some monks behind and continued to head west. According to what Sun Wukong said before, she should not be far from here, and now she must have noticed the change.

Maybe these two great Bodhisattvas from the Buddhist kingdom will arrive at the next moment.

By then...

"Why not just go all the way and join forces with Sun Wukong to kill these two."

Jiang suddenly felt murderous.

Even with Huang Tian's backing, even if they stand on the same side as Master Taibai, these two will not end up well if they go against Jiang Li and Sun Wukong.

The man and the monkey changed their forms because they didn't want to reveal Jiang Li's whereabouts, not because they were afraid.

However, Tan Wuwei seemed to have sensed the arrival of a powerful enemy and knew that something was wrong, so Jiang Li and Sun Wukong flew hundreds of miles away, but no enemy appeared. There was even no sign of a large number of people moving on the road.

"Strange, where can these two people go with tens of thousands of monks?"

Jiang Li was surprised and wanted to wait and see the luck again. But this time, all he could see was the increasingly chaotic Pure Land and various strange airs, and it was difficult to clearly see the changes in luck.

Jiang Li joined the game and was also in the chaos that was about to happen.

Helplessly, Jiang Li could only give up the idea of ​​observing the qi.

Afterwards, seeing that they had flown thousands of miles away, the two simply changed back to their original forms and flew towards Lingtai Mountain.
