Journey to the West, this Sun Wukong is too persuasive

Chapter 203 White Horse Temple

South Africa.

After conferring the gods, the fairy gods disappeared.

Although various myths and legends have been circulating in the world today, it is very rare for mortals to actually see gods.

To be precise, it's not that you can't see it, it's that the immortal doesn't know it in person.

At this time, Sun Wukong, Ao Lie, and Wude Xingjun arrived outside Chang'an City, and no one noticed them.

As Emperor Ziwei who was worshiped by the emperor of the world, Sun Wukong could see at a glance that the imperial capital of the human dynasty was shrouded in golden human destiny, but this destiny showed signs of collapse. It was obvious that the dynasty was about to run out of energy.

Looking closer, we can see the devastation caused by the floods. Countless towns, farmland, mountains and forests outside Chang'an City, and many places are still ravaged by floods.

Corpses are everywhere, and the plague is about to appear.

In addition to countless panicked poultry and beasts, there are even more desperate humans.

"How many points were missed to cause such a big flood?" Sun Wukong scratched his hands, hating the person who planned all this even more.

"Emperor, we should go to Jinghe Dragon King's Mansion to investigate. What are we doing here?" Wude Xingjun asked.

"It just looks like it." Sun Wukong glanced at him expressionlessly.

Wude Xingjun bowed respectfully again and did not dare to say anything.

Ao Lie saw everything in front of him, but he was even more worried. With such a huge flood, no wonder His Majesty would directly convict his uncle of the crime of death. However, he still did not believe that it was his uncle who did it.

"Huh?" Sun Wukong suddenly noticed that many of the human races were mumbling something.

If you listen carefully, you will find that they all say the same thing - Amitabha!
This made him startled and doubtful. Could it be that Buddhism had spread Buddhism to Nanfangbuzhou?

"Disciple, go and find out why they chant the Buddha's name." Sun Wukong said.

"Yes!" Ao Lie took the order and left.

He is a young man in white clothes. In the eyes of those human beings, he is a noble son and they treat him with great respect.

So he made some inquiries and found out.

"Master." Ao Lie came back to report and said angrily: "These humans said that it was the monks from the White Horse Temple in Chang'an City who told them,
As long as everyone in their village chants Amitabha Buddha once a day for ten consecutive days, the floods in the village will recede.

If you recite it for a hundred days, diseases will not occur and great blessings will come. "

"What a good trick!" Sun Wukong sneered.

As Zhihu netizens said, Buddhism has indeed changed its plan to spread the Dharma and is now spreading the Dharma in advance.

The human dynasty obviously had not yet reached the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the White Horse Temple had already been established.

If the Dragon King of Jinghe is really their scheming, then these methods of spreading the law in front of them are to do evil first and then do good!
Of course, this is not to teach the Dharma exactly, it is just to promote the name of Buddhism.

Ao Lie added: "Master, this disciple also inquired that the White Horse Temple will hold a sutra chanting ceremony in Chang'an City, saying that it will pray for the human race and at the same time save the souls of those who died in the disaster."

"Sutra chanting ceremony?" Sun Wukong's smart eyes flickered, "Since we have met, let's go and see the excitement."

Then, they entered Chang'an City.

But Wude Xingjun has remained silent except for asking a question at the beginning.

Sun Wukong couldn't help but wonder, this guy is really calm!

They made some inquiries in Chang'an City and found out where the White Horse Temple was.However, to be on the safe side, Sun Wukong did not go there immediately. Instead, he first found an earth temple beside the big market street and led the two of them inside directly.

Although he didn't show any momentum, he still frightened the whole city.

Ao Lie said seriously: "This is the Great Sage Qitian, the Great Emperor Ziwei at the North Pole of Zhongtian."

The land was even more frightened. It had never seen such a big god before. It kowtowed and greeted him: "The little god pays homage to Emperor Ziwei. Please forgive the little god for being late."

After that, he was about to inform the gods of other temples in Chang'an City and ask them to come and see him.

Sun Wukong waved his hand and said: "Don't let the news leak out. Old Sun is here for a private visit incognito. He will stay with you for a few days and then return to heaven."

The land responded quickly and served carefully.

Sun Wukong then asked: "Tell me, what is the situation at the White Horse Temple?"

After hearing this, the land immediately began to pour out its bitter water, as if it had found a backbone.

"The Great Emperor must make decisions for us and other little gods. Since the White Horse Temple was built, all the people in Chang'an City have stopped coming to our temples to burn incense. Without the incense, we and the little gods will become increasingly miserable."

Then, Tu Tu told the situation of White Horse Temple one by one.

First of all, the White Horse Temple was built two years ago by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. It is said that he dreamed of the Golden Man at night, so he sent envoys to the west to search for Buddhism.
Not long after, the envoy brought back two monks from Tianzhu, named Shemo Teng and Zhu Falan. They also used white horses to carry scriptures, creating a great momentum.

Secondly, as the first Buddhist temple in Nanfangbuzhou, White Horse Temple was not built in the prosperous place of Chang'an, but in a remote place.

But even so, this temple is still very popular.

In just two years, many people, from high-ranking officials to peddlers, have become pilgrims at White Horse Temple, because this temple really responds to requests.

Such as seeking marriage, seeking children, relieving pain, eliminating disasters, etc., as long as you come to Baima Temple, or pay how much incense money, or recite the Buddha's name as many times as you want, your wishes can be fulfilled.

Nowadays, floods are raging around Chang'an, and more and more victims know that chanting the Buddha's name can alleviate the disaster.

And the White Horse Temple released news that it would hold a chanting ceremony to pray for the human race, which naturally attracted more pilgrims and believers.

After hearing this, Sun Wukong ridiculed that Buddhism had really spent a lot of money in order to spread the Dharma and become famous.

The method of having the Emperor of Han dream of the Golden Man at night is consistent with the original timeline, but I don't know which emperor it is.

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong asked Ao Lie and Wude Xingjun to stay in the Earth Temple temporarily, while he quietly went to the White Horse Temple.

……

When we arrived in the north of Chang'an City, we saw a tall temple located in a quiet place on the back of a mountain. There were many pilgrims and believers inside and outside.

"Hey, change!" Sun Wukong turned into a moth, and after some investigation, he saw the so-called Tianzhu monks She Moteng and Zhu Falan in the backyard of White Horse Temple.

He could tell at a glance that the sad-faced Kudutuo was transformed into Venerable Kasyapa, the great disciple of Tathagata Buddha. The other fat monk was probably also a senior monk in Buddhism.

After listening carefully for a while, I realized that the other person was Venerable Ananda and a disciple of Tathagata Buddha.

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, led by a young monk, came to the backyard of Baima Temple to ask for an audience.

"Wang Mang of the new capital, I would like to see two holy monks." The middle-aged man bowed and saluted, and every move he made was in compliance with etiquette.

Kassapa and Ananda looked at each other. Based on their strength, they could certainly tell that this Wang Mang was not simple, and immediately stood up to greet him.
