Half an hour later, in the west of the sky, the Great Lei Yin Temple.

The Buddha with a full head of flesh sits on the nine-rank lotus platform.

Xuanzang, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing's master and apprentice carefully explained what happened after Ling Feng's arrival, and then said: "Emperor Ziwei acted like this, obviously intentionally blocking the eastward transmission of Buddhism, how should I deal with it, please show the Buddha!"

The Buddha said: "I have done one over there, you go to Nanzhan Buzhou, prepare a large-scale Dharma meeting, and invite many Buddhist disciples to be present and tell the Three Tibetan Sutras." If he shows up to stop it, I'll take action!"

He is one of the five elders of the five directions, and his status in the heavenly realm is not as good as that of the Emperor Ziwei, the Four Emperors, so it is naturally impossible to fight the heavenly court and let the Emperor Ziwei hand over Sun Wukong. After all, the monkey head made a mistake first, and he knew that if he went, he would not come back. It's better to simply change the excuse.

Xuanzang nodded suddenly, and continued to return to Middle-earth Dachu with his two apprentices.

Immediately, he summoned the monks of the world with the new presiding officer of the White Horse Temple, and prepared to hold a large-scale Buddhist puja.

The White Horse Temple is the ancestral garden of Buddhism in the Middle Earth, and its fame is naturally very great, coupled with the support of the two famous Buddhist monks and monks of Zhu Fateng and Zhu Falan, it immediately caused a huge response, and the disciples of Buddhism all over the world have gathered in Luoyang White Horse Temple.

Seven days later, the White Horse Temple officially held a Dharma meeting, Xuanzang preached the Sanzang Sutra on the high platform, and Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were on the side to protect the Dharma.

The Sanzang Sutra is divided into the "Law" and one Tibet, talking about the sky. "On the Treatise" is a collection, speaking of the ground. The "Sutra" is a collection, saving ghosts, solving the knot of a hundred grievances, eliminating the disaster of innocence, and getting rid of suffering.

There are tens of thousands of monks in the temple, including many masters and monks from temples around the world. Hearing Xuanzang talk about the true scriptures, they all showed joy on their faces, and they seemed to have a great understanding.

At this moment, a team of elite guards dressed in dark armor was fast, these guards were palace guards, and the lowest were martial king cultivators, and they quickly surrounded this place.

The surrounding monks saw that the palace guards all changed their expressions and avoided one after another.

At this time, Xuanzhuang stopped preaching, looked at the leader of the guards, and said, "We are here to preach the scriptures and teachings, and we have not violated the law, why are you here?"

The head of the guard took out a yellow decree and read: "You don't need to worry, I have come here, not to arrest you, but to announce the decree issued by Your Majesty today." According to the first article of the Great Chu Law, all fields under the name of all Buddhist temples must be taxed on time, and all monks must be registered. Article 2: Temples are not allowed to defraud people of money in the name of incense money. Article 3: Monks who are both brothers and sisters are not allowed to beg for fortune, and anyone who sees them can be arrested and imprisoned. Fourth, if a monk holds a puja, the court should send someone to supervise it to prevent the dissemination of rebellious remarks. ”

As soon as the guards finished reading, it immediately caused an uproar, and the faces of the eminent monks changed drastically, and there were many discussions, and there was no longer the detached bearing of the past.

In ancient times, the reason why so many tenant farmers brought their fields to the temple was of course because the fields of the monastery were exempt from taxation. Therefore, those large temples often have tens of millions of fertile land under their names, and they do not have to worry about food and clothing. It is also for this reason that those who can't get along are often monks who become monks, even if they are a miscellaneous novice, then they can get enough food and clothing.

But once this article is abolished, I don't know how much tax I have to pay every year! There is also the second and third articles, each of which is cutting off the foundation of Buddhism. If there is no means of livelihood such as incense money and karma, all monks have to go to the fields to do farm work, who has the time and place to talk and preach the scriptures?

And as these policies spread all over the world, the children of that family still dared to become monks? These four policies are obviously to dig up the foundation of Buddhism and destroy Buddhism!

Xuanzang naturally saw it, but he looked at his nose and nose, and sat back and watched the development of the situation. He believed that the monks would never allow such a law to be enforced.

Sure enough, an old monk with gray hair immediately said: "I am nearly eighty years old, if I don't turn into a relationship, how can I make a living?"

"That's right!, if you don't collect incense money, what can you use to shape the golden body of the Buddha? Without the golden body of the Buddha, what can you take to protect the people?"

"The fields of our Buddhist monasteries have been tax-free since the Han Dynasty, how can you change the rules of your ancestors!"

A famous monk said one after another.

At this time, the leader of the guards said in a deep voice: "Silence!"

Its sound was like thunder and shocking, and the monks suddenly did not dare to speak again.

Immediately, the right servant Kuai Yue led people into the temple, first stared at the white-eyed old monk, and said coldly: "You are eighty years old, you should have children and grandchildren to support and enjoy the joy of family." However, if you are greedy for the welfare of the monastery, you do not want to make progress, and you are lazy and hardworking, so naturally you have no money to marry a wife and have children. The so-called unfilial piety has three nos, and your fruits today are all caused by the causes of the past. Therefore, you deserve to be in the fate of today!"

"However, God has the virtue of a good life, and if you are willing to reform your ways, the court will also give you a job without worrying about food and clothing. ”

After Kuai Yue finished speaking, he looked at the other monks and said, "As for you, you have hands and feet, won't you support yourself? Farming, planting vegetables, and surpassing the soul of the dead is your ability to make a living." If you only ask for charity from others, how is it different from the beggar in the street?"

At this time, Xuanzang said: "Everyone, since the Great Chu Emperor wants to destroy my Buddhism, you monks can bow to the West with the poor monks, and pray for the Buddha to appear and solve this crisis!"

A group of monks suddenly realized, and they bowed to the west: "Now the emperor is unconscious, confused by the villain, and wants to destroy the Buddha." We will surely chant the sutras day and night and offer incense to the Buddha. ”

With a group of monks three bows and nine bows, the west suddenly appeared thousands of golden lights, in the golden light, there is a golden Buddha Dharma manifestation, majestic incomparable.

All the monks immediately looked overjoyed and bowed to the Buddha one after another. In their minds, since the Buddha has appeared, there must be no need to worry about the four strategies to destroy the Buddha.

Even the palace guards, under the light of the Buddha, are compassionate and have a tendency to bow down.

At this time, Kuai Yue said coldly: "Guards, follow me to the north and salute to the north, and respectfully invite the Emperor of the Zhongtian Arctic Crape Myrtle to descend to the dust!"

Immediately, a group of guards bowed to the north with Kuai Yue, and after three bows and nine bows, a purple glow appeared in the sky, and in a purple robe, the mighty Ziwei Emperor suddenly appeared.

Kuai Yue looked overjoyed, knelt down and saluted: "The old minister welcomes His Majesty to Linfan!"

Those guards also bowed and saluted, this is not only the Emperor Ziwei, but also the Emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty, how can he be disrespectful.

Now those Buddhist monks are confused, and the Emperor Ziwei is also revealed, in case the Emperor Ziwei wins, won't they still have to pay taxes and work in the fields?

At this time, the Buddha stared at the Emperor Ziwei and said, "Shakya was invited by the emperor to come, and he also asked the emperor to let go of the fight to defeat the Buddha!"

Ling Feng said with a smile: "How could this emperor say that when the Buddha arrives, he will release Wukong?

What he said was that if he wanted to save Sun Wukong, let Rulai come in person.
