Journey to the West: Play Westward Journey at the beginning

Chapter 156 Polarized Word of Mouth

After "Sword Rain" was aired, the reviews from all the viewers who watched it were almost polarizing.On the topic of "Sword Rain" in the Qimeng social network section, you can see a large number of users expressing their thoughts:

"What kind of rubbish are you filming? What kind of unparalleled martial arts skills are you talking about? I have never seen such a weak human being! Why is he the best in martial arts and Buddhism? I can kill him with one punch!"

"I have one thing to say, the big photos taken by Qimeng Pavilion this time are really boring. Forget it, I won't say it anymore, I'll go back and watch "Westward Journey" and "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" again, then It’s a really beautiful big photo!”

"I'm not Heiqimenge, but this time the big photoshoot is really boring. The core content of the whole video is that a group of little trash are fighting for a so-called Rama's body. What's there to fight about? One. There is no cultivator who has even become an Earth Immortal. No, I even doubt that he is not a cultivator. There is nothing to fight over for such a body."

"I dozed off as long as the video was played this time. As expected, except for the first video drama "Journey to the West" that Buddhism filmed before, the rest of the photos were rubbish. I advise you not to watch it. If you watch it, It’s just a waste of your own time.”

When a lot of bad reviews flooded the screen, other viewers who had different opinions on "Sword Rain" couldn't help but refute them:

"For those who say that "Sword Rain" is not good to watch, I will only tell you one line from the play: 'If you can put down this sword in your hand and leave this road, I will be the last person you kill.' Just this line, This great photo shoot is definitely worth the price of admission!”

"Those who say "Sword Rain" is not good to watch, do you know what Zen philosophy is? Do you know what compassion is? Before, I didn't understand what the Buddha meant by cutting meat to feed the eagles, but when I saw Lu Zhu's sacrificing his life to enlighten Xiao Yu, I think I got it!"

"The film "Sword Rain" is indeed not as subversive and exciting as "Westward Journey", nor is it as exciting as "The Devil Boy of Nezha". But it is like a warm cup of tea in the afternoon, suitable for leisure time Savor it slowly and carefully. Savor its bitterness and aftertaste bit by bit, and even think about it with your own memories."

"I just want to say that "Sword Rain" shocked me far more than "Journey to the West" and "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World". Thank you to Fomen and Qimeng Pavilion for giving us such a wonderful film! Looking forward to your next cooperation!”

The entire Qimeng social network is in a quarrel because of the movie "A Rain of Swords" that has been released in theaters. If someone posts a comment praising "A Rain of Swords", then there must be comments below that disparage "A Rain of Swords".If someone makes a comment that disparages "Sword Rain", there must be comments below that refute the other person's comment.

The war even expanded further, including Qimeng Pavilion's two previous films "Westward Journey" and "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" for comparison.This comparison immediately angered fans of "Westward Journey" and "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World". After all, if you say that these two films are better than "Sword Rain", then it is acceptable; once you say "Sword Rain" "is better than these two photos, then these fans will not be able to accept it.

As fans of "Westward Journey" and "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" joined the battlefield, "Sword Rain" successfully aroused a phenomenon-level discussion among the people.

No matter which topic you look at, you can see comments related to "Sword Rain". Such comments have greatly aroused the interest of other viewers who have not gone to the theater to watch it.And after they watch it, they naturally have their own feelings, and then either join the group that praises "Sword Rain" or join the group that despises "Sword Rain".

But no matter which one it is, it is good. After the popularity of "Sword Rain" became popular, it successfully overshadowed the bad response caused by the previous "Journey to the West II" filmed by Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.Even with the wonderful performances of Lu Zhu and Master Jianchi in "Sword Rain", many viewers' impression of Buddhism once again changed from fans to black, to black to fans. .

This result made the Buddha, the Buddha of Buddhism, feel very happy, and finally restored the image of Buddhism in the minds of sentient beings in the three realms.

In the Great Leiyin Temple of Xitianling Mountain, the Buddha Tathagata is sitting on the central lotus platform, using his trumpet to browse the Qimeng Network.When I saw comments that praised "Sword Rain", I clicked a thumbs up. When I saw comments that disparaged "Sword Rain", I clicked a thumbs down.After browsing for a while, he put down the Qimeng handheld device, looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva and said with a smile:
"The photos taken this time are very good. Especially the two of them, Lu Zhu and Jian Chi, Guanyin Bodhisattva. When you go to find the master of Qimeng Pavilion later, ask where these two people are. The two of them have superb understanding of Buddhism. , you can take him to Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan and obtain the status of an Arhat!"

"Yes, Master."

Guanyin Bodhisattva also responded with a smile on his face. The success of "Sword Rain" has greatly improved the impression of Buddhism. It has also stopped the decline in Buddhism's luck due to the influence of "Journey to the West II" and stabilized it again. There is a faint upward trend, so the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats in Lingshan Dayei Temple are in a good mood these days. "By the way, I said before that the reward for Master Nayun Pavilion is an acquired treasure, right?"

The World Honored Tathagata suddenly remembered the way.

"Yes, World Honored One. I promised you a piece of acquired treasure, the Vajra of the Buddhas, as a reward."

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded again.

"The acquired treasure, although the price is a bit expensive, it is still worth it. You ask the master of the Cloud Pavilion, can you get used to using the Buddha's vajra? If you are not used to it, I can change its external image Change it.”

Although the acquired treasure is very valuable to other Buddhists, to the World Honored Tathagata it is just ordinary.His predecessor was known as the Taoist Master of Many Treasures. Although he did not have a hundred magic weapons such as acquired treasures, he still had a dozen or dozens of them.As long as the money is spent, you don't really care about an acquired treasure.Unless the reward is an innate spiritual treasure, the World Honored Tathagata will feel distressed.

"World Honored One, wait a moment. Let me ask."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva took out the Qimeng handheld device from his pocket on the spot and asked on Qimeng WeChat.Not long after, he received Yun Tianqing's reply.

"Pavilion Master Yun said that it would be great if it could be changed into a spear shape."

"A spear? Okay."

The World Honored Tathagata nodded, then opened his palms to the left and right, and a Buddhist vajra pestle appeared in both palms.Then his palms slowly closed together, and the Buddhist Vajra, which had reached the level of acquired treasures, was bending little by little as if it was being subjected to a huge force that could not be resisted.

Bang!
When the Blessed One Tathagata suddenly closed his palms together, the original Vajra instantly turned into a lump of iron.The other Bodhisattvas and Arhats watching from a distance could not help but have their brows jump.

Later, during the process of pinching, rubbing, kneading, and pulling by the Buddha, a spear measuring two feet long appeared in the palm of the Buddha.Then it was thrown into the Eight Treasures Merit Pool at the back, washed, passed through water, and then inserted into the soil from under the Bodhi tree. It was stained with the smell of soil, making it look like it had experienced many years.

"Okay, give it to Master Nayun Pavilion."

World Honored Tathagata directly threw the two-foot-long spear to Guanyin Bodhisattva and said calmly.

"Yes, Master."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva nodded, as if he had seen nothing just now.
