Chapter 546: Ascend to the Position of Buddha of the Buddhist Sect

It is as the saying goes: people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles; for the Buddhist Sect, it is the same principle.

Now the Buddhist Sect of the Great Tang, under the suppression of Daoism, was completely gasping for breath; naturally, even the Jinshan Temple outside Changancheng was not a large temple.

On the contrary, compared to the Daoist temples in Changancheng, it could be said to be barren.

Therefore, this also led to ordinary people, if they had any matters of seeking gods and worshiping Buddha, all going to the Daoist temples, while only a few people came to the Jinshan Temple.

Under such circumstances, the incense of the Jinshan Temple would naturally not be prosperous, and the lack of prosperous incense naturally led to the Jinshan Temple being unable to be built in an eye-catching way.

Being unable to be eye-catching further aggravated the idea that the people of Changancheng would not come, so this was simply a vicious cycle.

Now, with the opening of the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, the fame of the Buddhist Sect in the Great Tang had been made, but the Jinshan Temple, which represented the face of the Buddhist Sect, was dilapidated and completely unable to be brought out.

Now it would inevitably affect the status of the Buddhist Sect among the people, and now hearing that the Jinshan Temple was going to be renovated, and it was under the promise of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

Thus, the Jinshan Temple would inevitably become one of the best places in Changancheng; otherwise, it would not be worthy of the status of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

"Alright, I am here, but it will disturb you instead. How about this, you can chant Buddhist scriptures here with peace of mind, and I will wait for you to finish delivering the souls of the dead and then celebrate your success!"

The Tang Emperor Li Shimin said to the Cihang monk with a smile, and then turned and left very cleanly and neatly.

In a place where the Cihang monk could not see, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin’s peripheral vision looked at the Buddha statues of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara and the Maitreya Buddha, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

After all, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin had not forgotten what the matter of the Jinghe Dragon King was all about; it was just that now he was under the eaves and had to bow his head.

And the Maitreya Buddha on the other side was not paying attention to the Water and Land Dharma Assembly at this moment.

After all, no matter how important the Water and Land Dharma Assembly was, it was just a formality; on the contrary, the Maitreya Buddha was now laying out the Journey to the West for the Cihang monk afterward.

First of all, the person who escorted the Journey to the West, the Six-Eared Macaque, was now directly suppressed by the Maitreya Buddha under the Mount Wuzhi, waiting for the Cihang monk to come and break the seal afterward.

Of course, relying on just one Six-Eared Macaque was naturally not safe.

If there were no changes in the Journey to the West Great Calamity of the Primordial World, relying on the strength of the Six-Eared Macaque to escort the Cihang monk to the West to obtain the scriptures, although difficult, would not have any life-threatening danger.

However, the Journey to the West Great Calamity in the Primordial World had changed because of the revival of the Wu Clan and the Demon Race, the eastward journey of the Heavenly Court, and even the four people originally set to obtain the scriptures had now broken free from the control of the Western Buddhist Sect.

Therefore, the Maitreya Buddha had to make arrangements in secret, aiming to make this Western Journey to the West plan succeed.

At that time, the Maitreya Buddha could use such achievements to replace the Ancient Buddha Dipankara and ascend to the position of Buddha of the Buddhist Sect.

Of course, Jieyin and Zhunti, as the two saints of the West, how could they not know what the Maitreya Buddha could think of?!

Therefore, when the Journey to the West Great Calamity of the Primordial World changed, Jieyin and Zhunti both took out a magic treasure; one was the Brocade Cassock, and the other was the Nine-Ringed Monk Staff.

Of course, this was originally prepared by the Buddha Tathagata, but considering the tremendous changes that have occurred in the Journey to the West Great Calamity, the two Western Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, personally refined it.

Although Jieyin and Zhunti are the two weakest Saints in the Primordial World, they are still Saints, so they are certainly capable of refining magic treasures.

Naturally, compared to Taishang Laozi, Jieyin and Zhunti are far inferior.

However, rather than calling it refining, it is more accurate to say that Jieyin and Zhunti injected their magic power into the Brocade Kasaya and the Nine-Ringed Monk Staff, respectively.

This ensures that the scripture seeker can save their life in a moment of crisis, remaining unharmed even when facing a strike from a Saint.

Of course, after one such strike, these two magic treasures will no longer have any effect.

"This Great Tang is truly prosperous!"

The Subduing Dragon Luo Han, riding on his mount, a true dragon, looked at the prosperity of the Great Tang, feeling a sense of envy and longing in his heart.

One must know that the West has been in a state of barrenness ever since the Long Feng Great Calamity and the detonation caused by Luohu.

Even after such a long time, it remains the same; after all, things like spiritual veins cannot be restored in such a short period.

Therefore, although the West also has human dynasties, compared to the current Great Tang, they could be called nothing more than poor and backward tribes.

"If my Fomen could spread throughout the Great Tang, I imagine the day of my Fomen's great flourishing would not be far off!"

At this moment, the Subduing Dragon Luo Han sighed with emotion.

"Indeed, after all, this is the central hinterland of the human race, a place favored by the fortune of humanity, which naturally represents the most prosperous and affluent region of the human race; it is only natural that it could achieve such results!"

The Subduing Tiger Luo Han, hearing what the Subduing Dragon Luo Han said, also expressed his own opinion.

"Subduing Tiger Luo Han! How do you find my disguise?" The Subduing Dragon Luo Han had now transformed directly into a mortal, specifically an old monk wearing a tattered kasaya.

Although this kasaya was tattered, the Subduing Dragon Luo Han was very reluctant to part with it, as it was, after all, the Brocade Kasaya protected by the magic power of the Saint Jieyin.

It could be said that even ordinary spiritual treasures could not compare to it.

However, the Subduing Dragon Luo Han did not have the audacity to pocket this Brocade Kasaya.

"Hmm, it is somewhat different from the people of the Great Tang, but since it is the identity of a beggar, this has little impact."

The Subduing Tiger Luo Han, watching the Subduing Dragon Luo Han's actions, understood what he was planning to do.

"That is true; after all, being a beggar, if one is too particular, it will only reveal flaws!"

"Come down with me to present this Brocade Kasaya and the Nine-Ringed Monk Staff to the Great Bodhisattva Guanyin!"

After the Subduing Dragon Luo Han finished speaking, he withdrew the true dragon he was riding and descended to the mortal world silently; the surrounding mortals did not notice the arrival of the two.

"Subduing Dragon Luo Han, there is no rush for this matter. It is only the first day of the Water and Land Dharma Assembly; we can appear when the eighty-one days are complete."

The Subduing Tiger Luo Han hurriedly held back the Subduing Dragon Luo Han, who wanted to go forward immediately.

"That is true!"

At this moment, the Subduing Dragon Luo Han and the Subduing Tiger Luo Han both transformed into beggars and mingled within Changancheng.

And what neither of them expected was that these beggars, who should have been ignored, were now spreading some information about Fomen throughout Changancheng because of the Water and Land Dharma Assembly.
