Journey to the West: Play Westward Journey at the beginning

Chapter 181 The Thoughts of the World-Honored Tathagata

West Tianling Mountain, Daleiyin Temple.

The World-Honored Tathagata sat upright on the golden lotus, frowning and looking at the hot search topic rankings on Qimeng.com. He flipped through page after page until he saw a hot search about Buddhism at the 84th page on the eighth page: [The roaring dog calls the dragon-subduing Arhat a dog, and the dragon-subduing Arhat calls the roaring dog not a human being. 】

Under this hot search, a group of creatures from the three realms began to discuss whether the Roaring Sky Dog and the Dragon Subduing Arhat were really scolding each other? ! !

If Roaring Sky Dog was really scolding Arhat who subdued the Dragon, then he was obviously scolding himself as well.

Even though the Roaring Sky Dog is a medieval beast that can swallow the sun, moon and stars, it is actually a dog.

So from a dog's perspective, does calling someone a dog count as a curse? ! !
Similarly, since Roaring Sky Dog itself is a dog, it does not belong to the human race.

So the Subduing Dragon Arhat scolds the Roaring Sky Dog for not being a human being. Is this considered scolding a dog?

Even though the Roaring Sky Dog can take the form of a human, the Roaring Sky Dog is indeed not a human!

This topic interests all sentient beings in the three realms.

On this topic, hundreds of millions of Qimeng Network users have expressed their opinions.

As for the parties involved, Roaring Sky Dog and Dragon Subduing Arhat rarely remained silent.

Seeing the hot search related to the Dragon-Subduing Arhat, World Honored Tathagata's brows almost furrowed into a swastika shape.Looking up at the Dragon Subduing Arhat who was still autistic on the lotus platform, the World Honored Tathagata temporarily gave up the idea of ​​teaching the Dragon Subduing Arhat.

After continuing to scroll through the remaining two pages of hot search terms, I found a serious discussion related to Buddhism in No. 90. It was the previous discussion about the allusion of Ananda, a disciple of the Buddha, in "Sword Rain".

In addition, [-]% of the other hot searches were related to the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" documentary that was broadcast last night;
[-]% is the mood of other heavenly fairies taking selfies and captioning them, and then being praised by a group of dog-licking mortals;

[-]% are miscellaneous things about other heavenly gods, such as Nezha once again angered King Li Tian;

The remaining [-]% of hot searches include the two previous hot searches on Buddhism and other messy things in the Three Realms.

Such a result made the World Honored Tathagata feel very bad.

The current hot search list of Qimeng.com is not like a certain blog in Yun Tianqing's previous life, which can be accessed by just spending money.

All user data in the Qimeng social network are authentic!
The hot search list data of the top [-] are all accurately calculated by Yun Xinghe as the server for each user, and then updated in real time at [-]:[-] a.m. the next day.

In other words, through the data ranking of clicks, discussions, and searches related to the day's hot search list on Qimeng's social network, we can completely see the direction of the attention of sentient beings in the three worlds today.

Previously, Buddhism had been hotly discussed by all living beings in the three worlds because of the big picture of "Sword Rain". However, the popularity did not last for half a month before it was overtaken by "God of War" released by Bai Ze, a lunatic.

Thinking of Bai Ze, World Honored Tathagata felt even worse.Because before, tens of Daluo Jinxians jointly searched for traces of Bai Ze. They searched the entire Ganges River of Destiny for several days, but no trace of his demon was found.

In the end, the Daluo Jinxian had to temporarily give up the search for Bai Ze because they each had their own affairs to be busy with. For example, the World Honored Tathagata needed to take into account the development strategy of the Buddhist scriptures and the journey to the West.

I can only write it down in my heart first. If I find traces of Bai Ze in the future, I can settle old and new accounts together.

[No wonder there was a hot search topic on the hot search list before: "The world of Qimeng Network is fickle and forgetful." 】 World Honored Tathagata secretly sighed in his heart, obviously "Journey to the West" and "Sword Rain" did not pass long, not even a year!

However, the phenomenon-level "Journey to the West" photo drama that once aroused heated discussion among the people at that time is actually not discussed by anyone now.

You must know that a year, given to the gods of the three realms, is really no more than enough time for a small talk or even a visit to a friend to talk about Taoism. It may not even be enough!

[We must continue to let the sentient beings in the three realms pay attention to and believe in Buddhism. Otherwise, the newly gathered fortune of Buddhism will be loosened or even collapsed due to the forgetfulness of the sentient beings in the three realms. 】

Thinking of this, the World Honored Tathagata immediately thought of finding Qimeng Pavilion to film a Buddhist drama.

But after some hesitation, World Honored Tathagata temporarily gave up the idea.

Although the quality of the photos taken by Qimeng Pavilion is indeed very good, they always arouse heated discussions.

But every time a photo or drama is taken, Qimeng Pavilion must be given an acquired treasure or the fruit of the ten innate spiritual roots as a reward.

Even recently, he heard that Taishang Laojun seemed to consciously want to further raise the price to the level of an innate spiritual treasure!
This simply makes the World Honored Tathagata want to scold Taishang Laojun for not being a great man (which is equivalent to not being a son of man). There is no such thing as raising prices!
If this happens only a few times, Blessed One Tathagata can still accept it.

But if the number of times is high, even the World Honored Tathagata will feel that the price is a bit unbearable.

Although his predecessor was known as Taoist Duobao and had a large collection of wealth, it was his own and not the public property of Buddhism. Of course he would not use it to pay for Buddhism. He would have to keep it for the future revitalization of Jiejiao.

And if the public property of Buddhism is used too many times, other Bodhisattvas and Arhats will also have objections.

After all, the Buddhist family has a great cause. Unlike Taishang Laojun, who only eats alone, the entire Buddhist family is waiting for food.

Especially the fruits of innate spiritual roots and the acquired treasures of Buddhism are also in short supply in Buddhism.

For example, there is a newly promoted Arhat in Buddhism. As the headquarter of Buddhism in the Three Realms - Daleiyin Temple, should we give him one or two bodhi seeds or an acquired treasure to celebrate him and increase his sense of belonging to Buddhism? ? ! !
For example, if Buddhism holds a conference on the sutras of ten thousand Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats from the three realms have come from all over the four major continents and the boundless seas. Do we need to prepare some innate spiritual fruits, such as the most famous ten innate spiritual roots in Buddhism? One, the Bodhi seeds from the Bodhi tree are given to Bodhisattvas and Arhats to taste? ! !
These are areas where expenditures are required and are often necessary.

Otherwise, how can we unite the power of Buddhism in the three realms to compete with Taoism? ! !

So after realizing that Taishang Laojun intended to raise the cost of the film drama and engage in a price war with Buddhism, he wanted to consume the Buddhist heritage.

The World Honored One Tathagata has launched the action of [Buddhist Self-made Photo Drama], and the person in charge of the action is still Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva who has had an experience.

Although the last film "Journey to the West II" filmed by Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva was a hit, at least he had an experience compared with other Bodhisattvas.

Rather than letting other Bodhisattvas who have never been exposed to photo dramas continue to rush into the street for the first time, it is better to let Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, who has gained some experience after rushing into the street, continue to be responsible.

Maybe with more experience in fluttering, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva will grow up.

When the time comes, Buddhism will be able to shoot phenomenal photo dramas like "Journey to the West" by itself, and it will be the kind that does not require any remuneration!
