Journey to the West: I want to be sanctified

Chapter 348 Avalokitesvara Manjusri Collusion

Daxingshan Temple has been repaired since it was named a royal temple by Gaozu:

With layer upon layer of halls and pavilions and selected corridors, the monks prospered and regained their glory.

In a secret quiet room.

Liao Fan carefully took out a Bodhisattva statue from his bosom, put it on the sandalwood table, and worshiped reverently.

After completing the ceremony respectfully to the statue, he opened his mouth and said:

"Today Taizong sent Wei Zheng to invite Taixuanzong Suzerain to attend the National Day Ceremony."

"Heh, in order to please Zhou Yin, the emperor has already disregarded face." Manjushri's voice came from the statue.

"Master, this disciple doesn't understand."

The statue of Manjusri was silent for a moment: "It doesn't matter."

Then he said, "Do you still remember what I told you?"

"When the Chaotang and Daxingshan Temple discuss the National Day Ceremony for cooperation, they must ask the royal family that Zhou Yin must attend."

"Do you still remember the specific words?" Manjusri would always ask this stupid apprentice a few more words.

"Master, don't worry, I can handle it, just to cater to Taizong's idea, the dignity of the king and the etiquette of the country are indispensable." Liao Fan replied sternly like an endorsement.

"Master, I don't understand why you must let Zhou Yin attend the ceremony?"

Ever since Emperor Taizong was preparing for the National Celebration, Master asked him to keep an eye on whether Zhou Yin would agree to attend the celebration. Yuan Shoucheng failed to entertain each time, but this time Emperor Taizong actually sent Wei Zheng, so he hurriedly told Master the news.

"It is beneficial to the implementation of some of our plans."

"what's the plan?"

"I'll tell you that day, or you'll forget it now, and you'll have to say it again then."

Liao Fan scratched his bald head aggrievedly, but he couldn't deny the fact.

……

South China Sea, Mount Putuo.

After Manjushri broke the link with the statue, he asked Guanyin Bodhisattva next to him: "What do you think?"

"The disciple you accepted is indeed not very bright." Guanyin joked.

"It's not this, it's the plan." Manjusri didn't want to joke with her now.

"Could it be hasty? Even the elders of the Taixuanzong are all celestial beings, how could Zhou Yin, who taught them karma and explained their doubts, is just a celestial being?" Guanyin didn't want to participate without full confidence.

"Then are you questioning the judgment of the Tathagata World Honored One?"

"Think about how long ago it was when Zhou Yin defeated Dingguang Huanxi Buddha's avatar. At that time, the Tathagata World Honored One and the Heavenly Court confirmed that Zhou Yin's cultivation had fallen to the early stage of Celestial Immortal. It is impossible that there has been no change for so long."

"You have really forgotten the words behind the World Honored One. The original words: Zhou Yin, I have already calculated that after this incident, his fortune will take a turn for the worse, and he will disappear from everyone in the future." Manjusri recalled helping Guanyin .

"..." Avalokitesvara did not forget, she intuitively felt that Zhou Yin was a strange person, not as simple as they thought.

"The Tathagata has clearly stated that after the battle of Dingguang Huanxi Buddha, he has no chance of turning around. Why are you still hesitating?"

Guanyin's heart began to waver.

Reason gradually prevailed.

Rationality is: The Tathagata World Honored One speculates that Zhou Yin can't afford to turn Lang'er.The sensibility is: she inexplicably feels that Zhou Yin is not that simple.

"Don't worry about it any more. Hurry up and call your golden retriever to Chang'an with me." Manjusri couldn't wait to go to Chang'an to carry out the celebration plan.

"Didn't you say you were going to borrow Maitreya's cloth bag? Why did you change it to the golden-haired roar?" Manjusri asked Guanyin if the golden-haired roar was still there when he first arrived. He felt strange at the time.

Manjushri's original plan with her was to use the artifact to create chaos at the National Day Ceremony.

Zhou Yinzai would take this opportunity to get rid of him.

If they were not there, the Buddhist sect stepped forward to control the chaos and slapped the state religion Taixuanzong severely in the face.

Therefore, this artifact must have the following characteristics:
One is an unknown artifact controlled by Buddhist disciples.

The second is that the chaos created by this artifact must be natural, preferably natural phenomena, ghosts and ghosts, so that people cannot think of it as being caused by artifacts, let alone Buddhism.

The third is that it cannot hurt people, but it must cause enough trouble to the crowd, so that they cannot escape or resist, and urgently need to be rescued.

"His cloth bag can only absorb all kinds of weapons and utensils. It is quite like stealing thieves when it is used at the National Day Ceremony. It is not grand enough to deter them." Manjusri imagined such a picture and his eyes were irritated.

"It's not like the purple golden bell on your golden retriever's neck. There are three in a string. Shake it. Fire, smoke, and sand will not make them tremble and run away!"

"Before Golden Retriever Roar and Zijinling are used as a difficulty in Journey to the West, you should make good use of them."

Manjusri looked at Guanyin's hesitation and tried to persuade him.

"If we act rashly without reporting to the Buddha..." This was Guanyin's last doubt.

Although they usually do things, they don't have to report every detail to the Buddha.

But it's not a trivial matter to set fire, smoke and sand at the Great Power Celebration.

If all goes well, it will be fine if Zhou Yin is punished, Taixuanzong's heritage is destroyed, and Buddhism is promoted.

Even if Zhou Yin and Taixuanzong were not hit, the fact that the Buddhist sect saved the king and the people at a critical moment can make the Buddhist prestige unprecedentedly high and severely dampen the morale of the Taoist sect.

just afraid...

"I know what you're worried about. If we lead out the potential disciples of [Yun] and [B] behind Taixuanzong, we won't be able to deal with it?" Manjusri's tone was still relaxed.

"We didn't tell the Buddha that the reason for this plan is to enjoy more merits and virtues. However, if we meet a Taoist with the characters [Cloud] and [B], even if we add a magic weapon, it is not something we two bodhisattvas can handle."

Avalokitesvara felt that the only way to deal with this matter was to ask the Buddha-level to deal with it, so their behavior of cutting first and playing later would definitely be severely criticized.

A little puzzled, Manjusri can still laugh with a relaxed tone.

"And this is precisely the best reason to tell the Buddha about this!"

"How do you say that?" Guanyin didn't understand what he meant for a while.

"The matter of disrupting the celebration can actually be big or small, it depends on how we explain it."

"Appreciate further details."

"It's very simple: the Buddha has been very busy preparing for Journey to the West recently. I don't want to disturb the Buddha with trivial matters. I found out that there might be people with the characters [Yun] and [Y] behind Tai Xuanzong. This subplan has brought out the water, so come and report it to the World Honored One!"

Manjusri's eyes are firm, his tone is upright, neither humble nor overbearing, what he said seems to be true.

Avalokitesvara couldn't help laughing: "That's it!"

She couldn't find anything wrong with Manjusri's acting skills and rhetoric.

Zhuming Boy brought the Golden Retriever Roar, carefully examined the purple golden bell on its neck, and straddled its back.

Manjusri has already attracted Xianyun, and his arrows are ready.

The two used spells to hide their figures and flew towards Chang'an City.
