Chapter 52 Taking bribes and applying excessive pressure? The future Buddha Maitreya personally visi
"Great Sage," the Golden-Headed Jiedi said, his voice dry and hoarse.
Sun Wukong was squatting next to the stone table, eating the braised pork knuckle made by Princess Iron Fan.
"Hmm? What's up?"
"There is news from Mount Ling."
"What news?"
Jin Tou Jie Di took a deep breath.
The character "turtle" on the lotus seat.
"Disappeared."
The elbow in Sun Wukong's mouth stopped.
Lu Chen paused for a moment as he added firewood to the fire.
"Disappeared?" Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow.
"Yes." The Golden-Headed Guardian nodded. "This morning, the guards in the main hall discovered that the character on the lotus throne was missing. It wasn't wiped off; there were no traces of wiping on the gold-threaded cushion. It was as if the character had simply vanished on its own."
The courtyard was quiet.
Everyone stopped what they were doing.
Pigsy put down the bowl.
Sha Wujing stopped sweeping.
Nezha and Red Boy stopped roasting sweet potatoes.
The jade rabbit raised its head.
Princess Iron Fan peeked halfway out of the kitchen doorway.
The character "turtle" was written by Lu Chen.
It was written on the Buddha's lotus throne.
That would be the greatest humiliation for Buddhism.
The people of Lingshan tried various methods to wipe it off, but to no avail. Even after replacing it with a new gold-threaded cushion, the words reappeared on the new cushion.
Now it has disappeared on its own.
What does this mean?
This means that a force erased the word.
This power is something that the Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Vajras of Mount Ling cannot achieve.
Because they tried for months but couldn't get it off.
Only one person can erase this word.
Buddha.
"Buddha has moved." Sun Wukong put down his chopsticks, his expression turning serious.
The Golden-Headed Immortal nodded.
"The atmosphere at Mount Ling is extremely tense right now. The main hall is being rebuilt to three times its original scale. Guanyin Bodhisattva went into seclusion after returning from Mount Hao. Manjushri and Samantabhadra have also disappeared at the same time. Everyone is waiting for the Buddha's next move."
"But no one knows what Buddha is trying to do."
"Even King Puji didn't know."
After saying this, the Golden-Headed Guardian left.
Inside the manor, everyone except Lu Chen remained silent for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.
Only Lu Chen held onto hope, wishing that Buddha would attack soon.
..........
Early the next morning.
Lu Chen had not yet gotten up.
Then Nezha's loud voice rang out in the courtyard.
"Brother Lu Chen! Someone else is here!"
"Who is it?" Lu Chen's voice came from inside the house, muffled and hoarse, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
"A fat monk! Extremely fat! Fatter than Pigsy (Zhu Bajie)! And he kept laughing!"
Pigsy exploded in the vegetable garden: "Who's fatter than me?! This old pig is called strong!"
Lu Chen threw off the covers and sat up.
Fat monk.
He kept smiling.
He already knew who it was.
I got dressed, pushed open the door, and went outside. There was a person standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
To be precise, he wasn't standing, he was smiling.
He wore a yellow monk's robe, which was open, revealing a large, round belly. A smile that hadn't left his face since he entered was on his face.
That smile was round It looks so warm and cozy.
Maitreya Buddha.
The Future Buddha.
The one who ranks second only to the Buddha in the Buddhist hierarchy.
Maitreya stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked up at the crooked signboard.
"Wuwu Mountain Villa".
He read it aloud with a smile.
"This plaque is well-placed. Its crookedness is quite unique. A proper temple gate should have a proper plaque, while an unorthodox place should have a crooked one. It complements each other perfectly."
Nezha squatted at the doorway: "Who are you?"
Maitreya.
Who is Maitreya?
"A monk." Maitreya smiled and bent down to look Nezha in the eye. "Little friend, your sweet potatoes smell really good. I could smell them from ten miles away."
"Want some too?"
"think."
"Then come in."
Nezha led Maitreya Buddha into the courtyard.
Sun Wukong was leaning against a tree eating a steamed bun when he saw Maitreya and almost choked on it.
He quickly stood up straight.
Maitreya Buddha.
This is no ordinary Bodhisattva or Arhat.
In terms of seniority, Maitreya is the successor appointed by the Buddha.
In terms of strength, few in the Three Realms can truly understand his capabilities.
In terms of status, he is the future Buddha, the next leader of the entire Buddhist sect.
A person like him coming to the resort in person definitely isn't here to eat sweet potatoes.
But Maitreya's behavior really did seem like he was there to eat sweet potatoes.
He sat down at the stone table.
The stone bench emitted a mournful cry under his weight, even more pitiful than when the Bull Demon King sat on it.
Nezha handed over a roasted sweet potato.
Maitreya took it, blew off the ash, and took a big bite.
"tasty."
"Of course!" Nezha said proudly, "It's something I co-developed with Red Boy! A top-and-bottom sandwich baking method! An exclusive patent!"
Maitreya took another bite, chewed it, and nodded repeatedly.
"It really tastes good. Much better than what's offered at Lingshan."
Lu Chen walked to the stone table and sat down opposite Maitreya.
The two people were separated by a stone table.
Maitreya is eating a sweet potato.
Lu Chen brought over a bowl of herbal tea.
Maitreya Buddha.
"Just call me Maitreya," Maitreya laughed. "The word 'Buddha' is too heavy. Let's chat, relax."
"Alright. Maitreya."
"Do you know why I'm here?"
"Know."
"Then tell me."
"You're the one who should be reasoning with me."
Maitreya laughed heartily.
"The word 'reasoning' is well-chosen. It sounds better than 'negotiation,' and better than 'threat.'"
"Then let's talk." Lu Chen took a sip of her herbal tea.
Maitreya put down the sweet potato he was holding.
He wiped his mouth with a leaf.
The smile was still on his face.
But what's in my eyes has changed.
He went from being easygoing to being serious.
"Lu Chen".
"Um."
"How long have you been stuck on the road to the West?"
"It's been more than half a year."
"More than half a year." Maitreya nodded. "For more than half a year, the pilgrimage team didn't move an inch. Tang Sanzang didn't take a single step forward. The eighty-one tribulations remained unchanged."
"Um."
"You know that at each stop on the journey to the West, there was a place waiting for Tang Sanzang to spread the Dharma, right?"
Lu Chen didn't speak.
"There is a small village west of Eagle's Sorrow Stream. There is a plague in that village. According to the original plan, Tang Sanzang should have passed through there two months ago and used Buddhism to pray for the people there and eliminate the disaster. But Tang Sanzang did not go. Because he was stuck here."
"In Chechi Kingdom, there are three sorcerers who disguise themselves as the Imperial Preceptor and harm the people. According to the plan, Sun Wukong should have arrived there a month ago to expose their disguise. But Sun Wukong is here too."
"Further westward, there is the Kingdom of Bhikkhu, the Kingdom of Extinction, and the Bottomless Cave. In every place, people are suffering. In every place, people are waiting for the pilgrim to come and save them."
Maitreya's voice was not loud.
But every word is very clear.
"Every day you're stuck here, the people in those areas suffer one more day."
"If you block the road here for a month, someone will die because of it."
"You've been stuck here for half a year, and people have already died."
"Lu Chen".
Maitreya looked at Lu Chen.
"The concept of cause and effect is not just about the debt between you and Buddhism."
"Your grudges with Buddhism are your own business."
"But those people did not offend you."
"They're just waiting for someone to come and save them."
"You've stopped this person."
"Whose fault is it that their lives are at stake?"
