Journey to the West: Moral Heaven

The Tathagata said indifferently: "You are the son of the Dragon King of the West Sea. Because you burned the orb on fire and violated the rules of heaven, you were fortunate to convert yourself to the Dharma and my monk. I am lucky that you carried Xuanzang to the west every day and rescued Xuanzang many times. Those who have meritorious service will be promoted to the right fruit, and become the eight-part heavenly dragon and horse."

Xiao Bailong was about to thank him, but Chen E stopped him and said, "Buddha, what kind of horse is the Eight Heavenly Dragon Horse? Ao Lie is the third prince of the Dragon Palace in the West Sea. Since it's time to learn scriptures, why do you let him be the horse?"

Tathagata said: "There is no distinction between dragons and horses. Ao Lie's full name is Eight Heavenly Dragons Guangli Bodhisattva."

Chen E said again: "Buddha, you made a mistake, he is the third prince of the West Sea Dragon Palace who is not young at all, the queen of the heavenly court, and the eight dragons, please forgive me for saying something ugly, they are either demons or ancient Brahmans. Remnants, how can Ao Lie be with them? I have been to the branded world of Sravasti, what are those things, Buddha, don’t bully the third prince who doesn’t understand!

Moreover, Bodhisattvas are also divided into three, six, and nine classes. From the first to the tenth ground, there are hundreds of millions of Bodhisattvas, and there are also Bodhisattvas of Equal Enlightenment and Miaojue Bodhisattvas. Forget about Miaojue Bodhisattvas, they are equivalent to the Buddha's fruit status, and the achievements of the third prince are not enough to prove As far as the position of Miaojue Bodhisattva is concerned, it is not too much to give to a Bodhisattva of Waiting Enlightenment, right? "

Equal Enlightenment Bodhisattva is commonly known as the Great Bodhisattva, such as Avalokitesvara, Mahasthamaprapta, Shu, Samantabhadra, etc. The Eight Great Bodhisattvas are all Equal Enlightenment Bodhisattvas, which are the only way to become a Buddha. Attendant of the Buddha.

Tathagata said in a deep voice: "Chen Zhuangyuan, it's okay not to enter the Eight Heavenly Dragons, but do you think Ailie can be compared with Bodhisattvas such as Guanyin and Puxian?"

Xiao Bailong also wondered: "Chen Zhuangyuan, forget it, it would be nice to have a Bodhisattva."

Chen E didn't think so, he regarded Xiaobailong as his own, and he and Tathagata were on the verge of tearing apart the skin, just forcing Tathagata to canonize Xiao'e as Nanzhan Guangming Buddha, Tathagata would not give up In this case, if there are too many lice, it will not itch, and if there are too many debts, you will not worry.

So he said: "Buddha, that's not what you said. Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all living beings. If you want to talk about how the Eight Great Bodhisattvas are better than Ao Lie, I think it's because they live a long time and experience a lot. Ao Lie will suffer a disadvantage when born in Yuanhui, but this It's not a big problem, I am taken care of by the way of heaven, and I can use the power of the way of heaven to help him improve his cultivation. In short, Ao Lie is my good friend. If Buddhism is just dismissed by a miscellaneous name Bodhisattva, I will not agree .”

Tathagata said: "When the practice is reached, the karma will go up."

Chen E chuckled: "There are hundreds of millions of Bodhisattvas from the first to the tenth stage, but how many Bodhisattvas are waiting to be awakened? Today, through this matter, I ask you to always sell me some face. Of course, you don't have to sell it when you are old. Then on behalf of Little White Dragon, I can reject the karma of Bodhisattva, even if I am white, it is better than being a handyman."

"Chen Guangrui, you are too presumptuous!"

Guanyin's complexion darkened, and he scolded.

Chen E persisted and said: "Sister, it's not that I'm presumptuous, but that the Buddha is unfair. Ao Lie is the third prince of the West Sea Dragon Palace, a noble dragon god, but the Buddhist sect doesn't even give him an enlightened Bodhisattva. Isn't this bullying? Are the direct descendants of Senior Zulong not even worthy of being a Bodhisattva? Ao Lie, we have a little bit of backbone, so we don’t need to be a Bodhisattva!"

"Not bad!"

Mei Niang seemed to have stepped out of the shadow of Tathagata and Guanyin, stood up, and said slowly: "Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, please forgive me for being disrespectful, I am the Lord of the Tang Dynasty, and only I can make Buddhism flourish in the Tang Dynasty. For future achievements, it is not too much to confer upon me Jingguang Bodhisattva, and now I have to add another requirement, the Buddhist sect must enshrine Ao Lie as Eternal Enlightenment Bodhisattva, without my decree, there will not be a single Buddha or Bodhisattva in the Eastern Land to pay homage to!"

In an instant, the complexions of Tathagata and Guanyin sank.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Mei Niang's sudden statement suddenly made the already stalemate tense, but this is exactly what Chen E wanted to see. He wanted to let Buddhism see his determination. Although we are weak, we are united and will never Let Buddhism bully.

So he gave Mei Niang a look of approval.

Mei Niang smiled lightly. In fact, she was very clear about her situation, which can be summed up in four words, either life or death.

Because of fighting for Jingguang Bodhisattva, it was tantamount to rebelling against Buddhism. She was already standing on the edge of the cliff, and half a step back would lead to the abyss.

And she also understands the reason why everyone paddles and sails a big boat. Rather than being broken by each of the Buddhist sects, it is better to be tied together and unanimously external. Xiao Bailong is the third prince of the West Sea Dragon Palace. Wire.

"Wu Meiniang, you are my Buddhist celestial daughter, how can you say such rebellious words?"

Tathagata said with a cold face.

Mei Niang said: "Please forgive my sins, Buddha. I am only asking for the reward I deserve. I am the Empress Dowager of the Tang Dynasty, and I am in charge of the court. Without my decree, Buddhism cannot be revived in the East."

"You have been enlightened by Maitreya Buddha, and your career will be managed by Maitreya Buddha. It is inconvenient for the poor monk to intervene. Since the third prince will not receive the great karma, he can wait for a while. Together with Wu Meiniang, Maitreya Buddha will dispose of it. The poor monk bid farewell."

Following the words, the phantom of Tathagata gradually retracted into the wood carving.

"Hey"

Guanyin sighed and said: "You guys, I want too much, that's all, that's all, it's not convenient for the poor monk to intervene in this matter, so I can know for myself."

As he spoke, Guanyin flickered and disappeared.

Chen E asked Xiao Bailong: "You delayed your career, can you blame me?"

Xiao Bailong clasped his hands and said, "What did Chen Zhuangyuan say? I haven't thanked Chen Zhuangyuan for fighting for me."

Chen E nodded and said: "The key to this matter is persistence. The longer the delay, the more anxious the Buddhism will be. If you persist until the end, you will win."

"Then I'll take my leave first, and Chen Zhuangyuan doesn't have to see him off!"

Xiao Bailong cupped his hands in all directions again, and strode away.

Wen Jiao glanced at Mei Niang, and said: "Master, Buddhism will definitely not take out two Bodhisattvas waiting for enlightenment, and the Queen Mother's opinion is very important. I am worried that Buddhism will do something to the Queen Mother, so please trouble Xianggong to send them to you personally." The queen mother returns to the palace."

"Oh?"

Chen E was a little surprised, this didn't fit Wen Jiao's style.

Wen Jiao smiled slightly, and said: "The Queen Mother should not leave the palace for too long. I dare not stay with the Queen Mother. I will go to the palace to see you another day."

"Madam Chen, you are welcome!"

Mei Niang nodded slightly, and walked out.

Wen Jiao pushed Chen E lightly, Chen E followed Meiniang out of the yard with confusion, and turned a corner, Meiniang said lightly, "Are you guilty?"

Chen E smiled happily: "The minister and the queen mother are acting upright and upright, so why are you guilty?"

Mei Niang said noncommittally: "I came to your house without any entourage, and Chen Zhuangyuan asked me to go back to the palace?"

"Please wait a moment, Empress Dowager, I will call for a car!"

Chen E cupped her hands, and ordered the servants to get a car, let Meiniang sit in it, and left the house through the back door.

Chen E was about to ride a horse by herself, when Mei Niang half opened the curtain and called out, "Chen Zhuangyuan, come up, I have something to say to you."

"That minister is abrupt!"

Chen E hesitated for a moment, and got into the car.

The carriage moved forward slowly, the space in the carriage was small, Chen E and Meiniang sat side by side, as the carriage shook, Meiniang's fragrant shoulders rubbed against Chen E's from time to time, because Meiniang came out with Wen Jiao, and She didn't dress up intentionally, but she still had a natural scent on her body.

"Chen Zhuangyuan!"

Mei Niang turned her head to look at Chen E, and asked: "When I go out without makeup, do I look old?"

Chen E hurriedly shook her head and said: "The queen mother is the reincarnation of a celestial girl, she doesn't look old at all, today I see the queen mother and the lady standing together, I have the feeling of Chunlan Qiuju, each good at their strengths."

"You, this mouth is as sweet as drinking honey. Your wife is a fairy, and I am old. How can I compare with your wife?"

Meiniang stretched out her slender fingers, poked Chen E's forehead, and laughed like self-deprecating.

Chen E's heart twitched violently, suppressing the thoughts in his heart, and persuaded: "From spring to winter, from birth to death, all things wither and prosper in one lifetime. For mortals, getting old means getting closer to death. But the queen mother is destined to become a bodhisattva in the future, with immortality and boundless magic power, and getting old is a rare life experience."

"Hey"

Mei Niang sighed: "Buddhism bullied me too much. It was not until today that I realized that the goddess is not a noble status, but just a plaything of Buddhism. She is equivalent to a domestic slave in the world. In my eyes, it is all taken for granted, I am too optimistic, but I have to fight, otherwise, after a hundred years, it is very likely that ashes will return to ashes, dust will return to dust, and even reincarnation will not be possible."
