Chapter 91: One sentence almost made the monks

The next day, at the hour of the dragon.

Tang An and her disciples had just arrived nearby when they saw a crowd of monks at the gate of the Daoist temple.

It seems the Night-Wandering God's execution was quite commendable, and the execution of those three monsters was also good; they even sent people to control these monks to prevent chaos.

The tiger, deer, and sheep monsters also arrived in their most imposing ceremonial guards, which made those monks look envious and fearful.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind of me is missing."

Tang An was wearing a magic treasure that could transform the clothes on her body at will. She recited the mantra, and the clothes on her body changed into a white, capable robe.

She held a whisk and straightened her back; she really looked like the real thing.

"Disciples, shall we go?"

"Go." They three were just watching Tang An play, and basically, they just cooperated with her.

Tang An rode on Jiuyue's back, and they three were following behind on clouds.

The nine-tailed fox appeared suddenly, and beside her were three people riding clouds, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Greetings to the Immortal~"

The tiger, deer, and sheep monsters bowed one after another, fearing they would neglect Tang An.

When the monks below saw that even the three national teachers had knelt down, they were all scared and knelt down one after another.

Importantly, they automatically compared it to the dream of last night, thinking that Tang An was the person who came to save them from fire and water.

"All get up." Tang An flicked her whisk, and Yang Jian flicked a finger from behind, and everyone felt a gentle immortal power helping them up.

At that time, everyone present, including the tiger, deer, and sheep monsters, was extremely excited because they felt they had really met a living immortal.

"Thank you, Immortal!"

Everyone was so excited they almost knelt down and kowtowed to Tang An again.

Of course, they really did meet a living immortal, and it was the living immortal who helped them up. However, who the living immortal was, Tang An didn't clearly say it was definitely her.

"Whoo, whoo."

Tang An took out a big loudspeaker from her Universe Bag and tested the sound.

Good, it wasn't broken.

She held the loudspeaker to her lips with her right hand. "Quiet down, quiet down."

The crowd, who had been bluffed by her, immediately fell silent.

"Everyone listen to me, I am a disciple under Lishan Laomu."

"This immortal passed by here yesterday and heard about everyone's miserable situation, so I came specially to solve your difficulties."

The monks below discussed it, all overjoyed.

Tiger Power Great Immortal, Deer Power Great Immortal, and Sheep Power Great Immortal looked at each other, not quite understanding Tang An's operation.

And the person before them was the same as last night... except for the appearance, the personality, style, and temperament were all a bit too different, right?

Was it really the same person? Not sure, let's see.

"Quiet~"

Those monks stopped discussing again and looked at Tang An.

"How to save you from the sea of suffering? This is a difficult problem. I didn't sleep all night last night."

The truth was: she was excited thinking about how she could fool so many people today, so she was too excited to sleep.

"After all, although you all believe in Buddhism, you have made no contribution to the country and the people. You couldn't pray for rain, couldn't solve the people's difficulties, and thus angered the King of Chechi Kingdom, who punished you to do hard labor."

"But look at the three national teachers. As soon as they came, they could call for wind and rain, protecting the country and the people."

"Aren't they the best examples for you to escape the sea of suffering?"

When the three monsters heard they were praised by Tang An, they were really floating, and their faces were full of pride.

But when the monks heard that they, who believed in Buddhism, had to look up to Daoism, they were obviously panicked.

"Does the Immortal know that we are all believers in Buddhism, so how can we take Daoists as examples?"

"Pedantic~" Tang An interrupted the old monk's words loudly.

"Whether you cultivate Buddhism or Daoism, you are cultivating the heart and discussing the traces."

"What's wrong with cultivating Daoism? Is there any problem with cultivating Daoism? Even if you let Guanyin come, do you dare to ask her if she says cultivating Daoism is bad?"

Behind the clouds in the sky, Guanyin had just wanted to appear, but she was forced to brake by Tang An's words.

If she really argued about Daoism with Tang An in the Sanqing Temple and said something bad about Daoism, the consequences...

The discussion among the monks below grew louder, feeling that Tang An didn't respect Buddhism and challenged the majesty of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Quiet down, quiet down."

Tang An attracted the attention of those monks again. "Think about it, what are you seeking by cultivating Buddhism?"

"Seeking purity of the six senses? But you are all about to die; wouldn't dying directly be even purer?"

That sentence of hers almost made the monks' CPUs smoke.

They wanted to pick out some faults from Tang An's words, but they were speechless and couldn't pick out any faults.

"Mortals, wake up. If you continue to believe in Buddhism in Chechi Kingdom, you will really go to the underworld to transcend. And it is very likely that you will be starved to death or worked to death as hard labor."

"The only bright path this immortal can point out to you is to switch to Daoism, so that you can preserve your lives."

The discussion below grew even louder, and there were all kinds of words refuting Tang An.

Tang An picked her ears and waited for them to finish refuting.

"The reason you can still refute me is only because you are still alive and have the strength to open your mouths to speak."

One sentence directly silenced all the monks.

Tang An cleared her throat, patted the loudspeaker, and continued to apply pressure.

"Comrades! As the saying goes, death is inevitable, either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather."

"But living a life, you can't be too light, right?"

"Think about what contribution you have made to your country in this life? Think about what you have gained after believing in Buddhism."

"Cowardice? Being beaten? Moving stones? Doing hard labor? Opening mountains? Repairing roads?"

Tang An's few questions really made those monks unable to make a sound.

An old monk put his hands together. "Amituofo, as the saying goes, eat the bitterness of bitterness, then you will be a person above people, Immortal..."

Tang An interrupted him directly. "Then I wish you to eat bitterness for a lifetime? Be a servant for a lifetime?"

Old monk: "..."

"Look, you said the words, and I blessed you, why are you unhappy?"

"So, comrades." Tang An looked at all the monks again. "Now the opportunity to change your unfortunate fate has arrived!"

"As long as it's ninety-nine and eight, you can't buy a loss, you can't buy a trap."

"Uh..." She was too excited and accidentally mixed up her words.

"Meaning, as long as you abandon Buddhism and enter Daoism now, regardless of whether you can ascend or not, you definitely won't have to eat the bitterness before you."

"However, the quota is limited, and it's not that everyone has the opportunity to enter Daoism. There are only one hundred places, only one hundred places, everyone first come, first served!"

The pile of monks, who originally had no response, heard Tang An say there were only one hundred places, and they were obviously moved and started to get anxious.

But because no one wanted to be the first to bear the infamy of betraying Buddhism, no one dared to stand out for a while.

Tang An knew what they were pondering in their hearts at this moment, and she knew the solution, which was to create someone to solve their psychological burden.

As long as one person leads the way and stands out, a wave can immediately follow.

Tang An turned back to look at Sun Wukong, and Sun Wukong immediately understood.

I saw Sun Wukong transform into a little monk, rushing out of the crowd, shouting loudly: "I'll come first, I'll come first!"

As soon as Sun Wukong rushed out, the eyes of those young monks lit up, and they all started to act.

Everyone was scrambling to grab those one hundred places, fearing that if they missed the opportunity, they would continue to suffer in this broken place.

Tang An looked at the sky; she knew Guanyin must be watching in the dark, so angry that the top of her head was about to catch fire.

But so what? Wasn't she completing the task assigned by the Bodhisattva, having already saved them from the sea of suffering? ===== CHAPTER 92 =====
