"A bunch of useless trash, can't even chant scriptures properly. Do you want this monk to perform a requiem for your mothers?!"
In the backstage of the Grand Land and Water Ceremony in Chang'an City, Xuanzang was pointing at a group of monks, berating them fiercely.
Those being scolded by Xuanzang didn't dare to retort, only lowering their heads and meekly enduring the abuse.
There was no other way, who told Xuanzang to be the designated Chief Monk of the Land and Water Ceremony this year!
The monks were extremely dissatisfied in their hearts. They had witnessed the unfairness of this world on a daily basis.
Within the monastery, this Dharma Master Xuanzang was clearly tyrannical and ferocious, and extremely violent. Except for those elders who seemed to know some martial arts, almost the entire monastery had been beaten by Dharma Master Xuanzang.
Even worse, this Dharma Master Xuanzang secretly disrespected Heaven and Buddha, and even secretly tried to break his vows several times! If it hadn't been discovered by the elders, it would have been a done deal!
Yet, such a person who had no cultivation, was as tyrannical as a thug, and was ignorant and incompetent, was actually chosen as the Chief Monk of the Land and Water Ceremony?!
This meant that all the monks in the world should take Dharma Master Xuanzang as a role model!
What the heck, if everyone learns from this violent Dharma Master Xuanzang, will all the temples in the world go out and start gang fights at the slightest provocation, and after fighting, indulge in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling?!
Many monks who were diligently practicing Buddhism felt extremely unwilling and humiliated.
"This monk loves to see you like this, disliking this monk, but unable to kill this monk! Hahahaha! A bunch of useless trash, the opening ceremony is about to start, why aren't you hurrying up to prepare!"
Xuanzang wore a ferocious smile on his face, kicking one of the monks on the butt.
"This humble monk takes his leave!"
That monk suffered great humiliation, and could only leave with the other monks, tears in his eyes!
Dharma Master Xuanzang laughed wildly, laughing incomparably ferociously.
He felt that he was completely the chosen one, and the whole world was revolving around him!
Even the current Emperor had personally ordered him to be the Chief Monk of the Land and Water Ceremony, which was an even greater catalyst for Dharma Master Xuanzang, who was already inflated and violent to the point of not recognizing reality!
This feeling was really, the best!
Dharma Master Xuanzang didn't realize that when he was laughing ferociously, black demonic energy was flashing in his eyes.
However, those Buddhas of the Western Religion who were guarding Dharma Master Xuanzang's side were not around, and couldn't see Dharma Master Xuanzang's current appearance.
Dharma Master Xuanzang tidied up his clothes, restoring his original peaceful appearance, looking extremely indifferent, just like a real monk.
Although he was usually violent and unreasonable, Dharma Master Xuanzang was still able to control himself.
Especially now that he was about to go on stage, Dharma Master Xuanzang also knew to restrain his mind and restrain his ferocious intent.
Just as Chen Xuanzang was about to go on stage, he suddenly seemed to think of something, turned back, and took out a brocade box from a hidden corner.
Chen Xuanzang carefully glanced at the elixir in the brocade box, and found that the elixir was still so full of spiritual energy, and immediately felt relieved.
"As expected, the immortal pill bestowed by the heavens is different."
Chen Xuanzang always felt an ominous premonition today, and only this thing in his hand could give Chen Xuanzang enough sense of security.
Chen Xuanzang hid the brocade box in his bosom and strode out.
Since the Tang Emperor issued an edict to hold the Grand Land and Water Ceremony, almost the entire Tang Dynasty felt an ominous premonition.
Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, conflicts with the Buddhist Kingdom of Tianzhu have been continuous, and hatred has lasted for thousands of years, with generational hatred as deep as the sea.
Moreover, the Tang Emperor claimed to be a descendant of Laozi, and had always only valued Taoism, and never thought about Buddhism.
But now he was actually holding the Grand Land and Water Ceremony in a big way, such an abrupt reversal, obviously no one would feel normal.
However, there were also many people who believed that the Tang Emperor must have his own intentions.
"I want to see what kind of people these so-called Left Monk Overseer, Right Monk Overseer, and Chief Monk of the Land and Water Ceremony are!"
"Humph, His Majesty is wise and enlightened, he must have been coerced by a demonic monk!"
"Although this matter feels strange to this poor Taoist, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, as long as it can make the country strong, it may not be a bad thing… However, if it is not beneficial to the country, and only seeks personal gain, this poor Taoist will risk his life to restore a clear and bright world!"
Countless people came to watch the Grand Land and Water Ceremony.
Everyone wanted to see what kind of virtuous and highly respected person this legendary Chief Monk of the Land and Water Ceremony was.
They also wanted to see what kind of Dharma this Buddhism was.
The Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva of Mount Putuo in the South China Sea, since receiving the decree of the Tathagata Buddha, had been visiting Chang'an City to find a virtuous person to obtain the scriptures, but had not encountered a truly virtuous person for a long time, that is to say, Chen Xuanzang had not yet officially appeared.
However, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally caught up… Moreover, it seems that the Prison God is not here?"
Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva basically had Prison God Fear Syndrome, and now every time she did something, she had to think about whether the Prison God was there.
After all, that big shot was really a turd stirrer…
Fortunately, the Prison God had been in the Underworld these two days, messing around with that group of Ksitigarbhas.
In two days, could someone quickly complete a super war involving three major forces?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
There is no such fierce person in this world, absolutely impossible!
After all, there are Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Ancestor Styx in there, both of whom are the strongest in the Three Realms, and it is impossible to end after a few rounds of fighting.
Just then, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva heard someone speaking beside her,
Suddenly, I heard that Emperor Taizong was proclaiming good deeds, electing high monks, and holding a grand meeting.
Moreover, the candidate was Monk Jiang Liuer, who was a Buddha sent down from the Land of Ultimate Bliss.
The corners of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva's mouth raised slightly, this was the time, set off!
Everything was going according to the original plan, it was simply too good!
Without any big shots interfering, it was really… too happy!
The Bodhisattva transformed into a crazy beggar, happily holding the treasure bestowed by the Buddha onto the long street.
There was a brocade kasaya with different treasures and a nine-ring tin staff.
Originally, the job of carrying things was to be done by Mu Zha, but now Mu Zha was squatting in Chu Hao's Nine-Layered Heavenly Prison.
Well, it is estimated that he will be able to come out in another ten or eight kalpas.
So now Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva could only obediently carry the things forward herself.
However, a few monks who were strolling on the street saw this Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, and couldn't help but raise their eyebrows high.
"Good fellow, that guy has some good stuff in his hand, let's go take a look!"
One of the stronger monks came up, blocking Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva with a lewd smile,
"Hey! Little lady, let this monk see the things in your hand!"
Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva twitched the corners of her mouth, "The kasaya is worth five thousand taels, and the tin staff is worth two thousand taels, get lost if you don't buy it."
Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva really wanted to hammer this monk who disgraced Buddhism to death, but she endured it.
The strong monk smiled and said:
"Stupid fool! This monk thinks you have a problem!"
"Two rough things, selling for seven thousand taels of silver? Keep dreaming! Cough, spit!"
The strong monk spat a mouthful of water at Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva.
Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva wanted to go crazy on the spot!
But at this moment, a familiar teasing voice sounded from behind,
"Don't do anything, there are gods three feet above your head!"
