The news of Monk Xuanzang drinking soon spread in the temple.
Under pressure, Guan Yin Bodhisattva finally acquiesced to Monk Faming's request to hold Xuanzang accountable.
"Xuanzang, you know that the temple forbids eating and drinking, so why do you still drink in public and get drunk?”
As the abbot, Monk Fa Ming had the right to teach all the monks.
Today, in front of all the disciples, Monk Fa Ming wanted to shut the mouths of the crowd and prevent the other disciples from secretly saying that the abbot treated them differently.
"Master, what is the purpose of cultivating Buddhism?”
Xuanzang did not answer Faming's question. Instead, he asked Monk Faming.
"Cultivating Buddhism is naturally to save all living beings and teach people to be kind. In the end, they will cultivate and ascend to the Elysian World.”
Monk Fa Ming's answer could be said to be flawless and very accurate.
Xuanzang nodded and said," Master's Dharma is exquisite and his teachings are unparalleled. Although I drink and eat meat, I wholeheartedly teach people to be good and do good deeds. There is nothing wrong with it."”。
Xuanzang's words stunned the surrounding disciples.
Drinking wine and eating meat did not seem to be any different from doing good deeds, right?
If you say that eating meat is killing, then aren't eating and eating all life? Were flowers and plants not living beings?
"Buddhism pays attention to pure cultivation and forbids the seven emotions and six desires. Only then can you see Buddha!”
Guan Yin Bodhisattva stood out. The other monks did not know his identity, and Xuanzang naturally did not know either.
"When wine and meat pass through the intestines, Buddha's heart will sit. Even if I drink wine and eat meat, Buddha's heart will remain unmoved like a mountain. Why should I prohibit the seven emotions and six desires?”
Monk Xuanzang's words were neither warm nor angry, but it instantly shocked all the monks.
Wine and meat passed through his intestines, and Buddha sat in his heart!
This kind of Buddha-like heart could be said to be as immovable as a mountain, surpassing the mortal world.
The monks all forbade their appetite for food for fear of messing up their zen minds. However, Monk Xuanzang had long surpassed them by a large realm.
Even Guan Yin Bodhisattva was speechless and didn't know how to retort.
The denouncement against Monk Xuanzang ended without a hitch.
From then on, Monk Faming didn't care too much about Monk Xuanzang. After all, Xuanzang's Buddhist Dharma was not something that Monk Faming could withstand.
Meanwhile, Chen Guangrui kept coming to Jinshan Temple. He brought Xuanzang delicious wine and meat while instilling him with some Buddhist teachings that Li Ke had secretly taught him.
"It's impossible for my son not to be a monk, but I must help him see the true colors of Buddhism!”
Chen Guangrui clearly hadn't let go of what had happened back then. He didn't have a good impression of the Buddhist Sect.
For the sake of some bullshit Journey to the West, he had to prevent his father and son from meeting each other. What kind of logic was this?
Li Ke had not been idle during this period of time. He had secretly taught Chen Guangrui and subtly changed Xuanzang. At the same time, he had sought advice from Saint Tongtian and had made great progress in his cultivation.
"Li Ke, I've been in Jiang Prefecture for twelve years. It's time for me to leave. I'll leave the future to you!”
Even a wisp of Saint Tongtian's divine sense could only stay for twelve years. Any longer and he would probably attract the attention of other Saints.
"Don't worry, Saint. I'll do everything. I won't disappoint you.”
Li Ke knew that he could not stop Saint Tongtian from leaving, so he simply nodded, appearing very free and easy.
Saint Tongtian had taught Li Ke carefully over the years, and he liked Li Ke very much.
However, after Saint Tongtian tactfully expressed his willingness to take in a disciple, he was rejected by Li Ke, which made Saint Tongtian feel very regretful.
"Caiyun, in the future, you will follow by the Third Prince's side and listen to his orders.”
Sage Tongtian reminded Fairy Caiyun again before finally dissipating into a streak of azure light.
"Farewell, Saint!"
Li Ke respected Saint Tongtian very much. Even though he did not take him as his master, he had always remembered Saint Tongtian's kindness in teaching Li Ke.
Therefore, Li Ke had never planned to be perfunctory when he promised to help Jie School.
However, the departure of Saint Tongtian was not a good thing for Li Ke.
As soon as Saint Tongtian left, the Buddhist Sect received the news.
Guan Yin Bodhisattva did not have any reaction. She knew very well that if Li Ke was really the disciple of Saint Tongtian, then it did not matter whether the Saint was here or not.
Even if you take care of Li Ke now, with Saint Tongtian's personality, he will definitely not let Guan Yin Bodhisattva off.
After all, Jie School was only in name now. Any remaining disciple was a treasure.
It was precisely because of this that after Guan Yin Bodhisattva thought it through, he did not have the intention of finding trouble with Li Ke. He only wanted to complete the Journey to the West tribulation as soon as possible and then use the luck of Buddhism to improve his cultivation.
However, Guan Yin Bodhisattva could see through it, but his disciples did not have such comprehension. After the Hui An Traveler learned that Saint Tongtian had left, his thoughts immediately became active.
Before Hui An Monk became a monk, his name was Mu Zha, the second son of Li Jing, the commander of Chentang Pass. This family of four father and son were all fiery.
Therefore, after learning that the Sage had left, the Hui An Traveler immediately prepared to find trouble with Li Ke!
