Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 740 Dharma
As soon as Guanyin Bodhisattva stood up and chanted a Buddhist name, a monk from the side of the platform stepped out from the crowd and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of Master Xuanzang is the fault of our Buddhism. Bodhidharma is willing to take the responsibility."

The civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty were no strangers to Bodhidharma.

This great Buddhist monk was amazing as he walked through the Dharma Assembly in Chang'an.

If Master Xuanzang was only proficient in Buddhism, then Master Bodhidharma crushed Master Xuanzang in all aspects, whether it was Buddhism, cultivation, or supernatural powers.

It can be said that Bodhidharma was the real candidate put forward by Buddhism to compete for the position of Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty, and he was also a truly great monk of Buddhism.

Bodhidharma was an extremely intelligent person. Although he did not know the details of Chen E's lawsuit, he understood from Chen E's words that the matter was directed at Buddhism.

Now, when the Tang Emperor Li Shimin questioned Guanyin Bodhisattva, he was actually questioning Buddhism.

Guanyin Bodhisattva is one of the faces of Buddhism. If she is disgraced by Li Shimin, Buddhism will lose face!

At this time, the great catastrophe of heaven and earth has begun, and it is the time for Buddhism to spread its teachings. If negative news about Buddhism spreads, it will have an indelible impact on the overall situation of Buddhist teachings.

As of now, only Bodhidharma can step forward and bear the consequences. In fact, only Bodhidharma can bear the consequences.

Bodhidharma was a strong contender for the title of Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty.

Now, Bodhidharma took the initiative to step forward, giving up the competition for the position of Tang Dynasty's imperial master, and calming down the anger of the Tang Dynasty. Although Buddhism abducted the young Xuanzang, it also cultivated him into a great talent known throughout the heavens and the world. From a certain perspective, Buddhism just had the wrong way of doing things, and it was not a bad thing for Xuanzang to join Buddhism.

Therefore, the matter that Chen E sued could be big or small. As long as Buddhism admitted its mistakes with a good attitude and gave the Tang Dynasty and the human race a way out, the matter could still be perfectly resolved. Bodhidharma sacrificed himself at this time and took charge of all the causes and effects. He gave the Tang Dynasty a way out, gave the human race a way out, and gave the cultivators of the heavens and the worlds a convincing reason.

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Bodhidharma deeply, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Bodhidharma is a genius carefully cultivated by Buddhism, and he has a heavy responsibility. But at this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva really didn't know what to say. Bodhidharma has a reputation and prestige because of the Tang Dynasty Dharma Assembly. It is the best choice for him to stand up and give an explanation to the Tang Dynasty. Although Guanyin Bodhisattva does not want Bodhidharma to take responsibility, if Buddhism only gives the Tang Dynasty some bland explanations, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will never recognize it, and even the arrogance of Buddhism will anger the Tang Dynasty! In addition, now in public, even if Guanyin Bodhisattva has thousands of wisdom and hundreds of thoughts, he cannot secretly trade with the Tang Dynasty and the human race to settle this matter. Therefore, Bodhidharma's stepping forward is the only way for Buddhism at the moment!

Li Shimin looked at Bodhidharma who stepped forward, then turned to look at Chen E and said, "Chen Aiqing, you are the victim of this matter, what do you think?"

Chen E pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Master Bodhidharma is a rare and great monk with profound Buddhist knowledge. But Buddhism is mixed with good and bad people, so it must be punished. I think the Jinshan Temple should be closed to warn the world. In addition, since Master Bodhidharma has resolved the cause and effect of this matter with great compassion, I don't want to be aggressive. My grandfather passed away because of Buddhism, and Buddhism needs to go to Chenjiazhuang to pray for my grandfather in front of his grave."

After Chen E finished speaking, Li Shimin turned to look at Guanyin Bodhisattva and Bodhidharma and said, "What do you think, Bodhisattva and Master?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva understood that this was not the time to argue, so she nodded and said, "This is the fault of Buddhism. Buddhism is willing to follow the Tang Dynasty's decree to ban Jinshan Temple."

Bodhidharma also said immediately: "Your Majesty, Mr. Chen, I will go to Chenjiazhuang to pray for Old Master Chen for three years. In addition, I am willing to travel the territory of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years to pray for the people of the Tang Dynasty and for the human race."

A strange look flashed in Li Shimin's eyes and he said, "In this case, pass on my decree; Jinshan Temple does not respect the law and ethics, and it will be closed immediately." The words of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty were golden, and the court officials passed on the decree to the local prefectures.

Bodhidharma showed no emotion, but calmly bowed to Li Shimin, Chen E and Xuanzang before floating away.

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Bodhidharma's receding figure, feeling mixed emotions! Today's events were too sudden, and Buddhism had no way to deal with them, so Bodhidharma could only be wronged!

After dealing with the matter of Jinshan Temple, Li Shimin looked at Xuanzang and asked, "Master Xuanzang, your Chen family is a great man. Now that the master knows your past, are you willing to return to secular life?"

Li Shimin's words were earth-shattering. Guanyin Bodhisattva and Chen E looked at Xuanzang nervously.

In the eyes of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Xuanzang's memory of Jin Chanzi has not been restored. Although he grew up in Jinshan Temple and has a very good understanding of Buddhism, Guanyin Bodhisattva is really unsure whether Xuanzang has the intention to return to secular life.

Chen E looked at Xuan Zang expectantly and said, "Xuanzang, my Chen family is a family of heroes, and now only you and I are left. Before my grandfather and elder brother passed away, they missed you the most!"

Chen E's words made Guanyin Bodhisattva anxious, but Guanyin Bodhisattva could not speak at this time. Buddhism had already caused bad consequences by abducting the young Xuanzang. If Guanyin Bodhisattva intervened again to make Xuanzang return to secular life, the whole Tang Dynasty would definitely be dissatisfied with Buddhism. If Buddhism spoke out, the little goodwill that Bodhidharma had just won for Buddhism by sacrificing his life would definitely disappear.

If it were an ordinary monk, Guanyin Bodhisattva would not care whether he returned to secular life or not. But Jin Chanzi was different, Xuanzang was different! Xuanzang was a person who was born into the great calamity of heaven and earth. If he returned to secular life, Buddhism would become a laughing stock in the heavens and the world! In addition, Jin Chanzi had no more contact with Buddhism since he was reincarnated into the calamity. Guanyin Bodhisattva had no idea how much Jin Chanzi's reincarnation would affect his own character. After all, the bloody monk who killed people all over Northern Juluzhou was the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi. Therefore, Guanyin Bodhisattva had no idea what decision Xuanzang would make.

Just as Guanyin Bodhisattva was weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Xuanzang sang a Buddhist name softly, "Amitabha, Your Majesty, Donor Chen, now that Xuanzang has entered the Buddhist sect, he wishes to always be with the ancient Buddha. All the past events are just passing clouds, I cannot remember them, and I have let them go."

Chen E was stunned when he heard this, and took a deep breath and said, "Since Master has made a decision, I am not going to say much. However, Master, please remember that the gate of Chenjiazhuang is always open to you at any time!"

Xuanzang nodded and said, "Thank you, Benefactor Chen! Benefactor Chen, although I have become a monk, I will never forget the kindness of my parents in raising me. After the Dharma Assembly, Xuanzang will go to Chenjiazhuang to pay homage!"

Chen E said with a red face, "Okay! Okay! Grandfather was thinking about you the most when he was alive. It would be good to go and see him and fulfill his wish! In addition, I have buried my sister-in-law's body with my eldest brother in Chenjiazhuang. You can go and burn some incense!"

Undercurrent, 36 monks each preached for one day. Finally, the national master was determined.

Chen E, the top scholar in the imperial examination, sued Buddhism for human trafficking.

Chen E meets Xuanzang.

The Buddhist qualification was taken away, and Bodhidharma was taken away.

The little demon from the demon clan reported to Xuanzang, and the bloody monk slaughtered the world.
