NOVEL NEXT Chapter 583, Mission to Buddhism
Tang Sanzang was completely befuddled by Zhu Bajie's incessant brainwashing, with only one thing on his mind: to obtain the scriptures, one must make money; to promote the pride of Great Tang, one needs to make big money; make money, make money, still got to make money.
The trio slowly departed, disappearing into the dense forests.
...
At the Heavenly Court, in front of the West Heavenly Gate, a massive convoy gathered. Six one-horned Heavenly Horses drew the carriage while Yellow Turban Warriors held high the dragon flag of the Heavenly Court, and two columns of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals rode Heavenly Horses to guard on both sides.
Shen Gongbao, holding high the Holy Decree, walked out from the Heavenly Gate, boarded the central carriage, and authoritatively declared, "His Majesty decrees: Embark on a mission to Buddhism!"
All the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals responded in unison: "Understood!"
Buzz~ In front of the Heavenly Gate, an auspicious cloud path formed, rapidly extending towards the west.
The diplomatic entourage stepped onto the luminous path, heading westward.
Inside the Bird's Nest, Bai Jinshi and Gu Liang were sitting in the garden, with little sprites pouring tea and peeling fruits.
Shi Ji said, "Elder brother, the delegation has set off."
Bai Jin smiled and said, "Start the livestream! Xiao Jin, push it across all channels."
"Okay, Master!" A gentle voice responded.
Shi Ji sighed, "In the past, spreading a message across the Three Realms required a lot of scheming and consumed a great deal of manpower, not to mention taking a long time. Now, a livestream can spread it throughout the Three Realms. No wonder, elder brother, you look down on Buddhism's severed hand."
Above the delegation, a beautiful figure appeared, a Goddess wearing an Immortal Dress, with a spherical object floating in front of her.
On a dirt road in the Earth Immortal Realm, a carriage slowly moved along. Sun Wukong sat cross-legged on top of the carriage roof, looking around: Why are there no Evil Spirits yet? Is the flag I am waving not conspicuous enough?
Inside the carriage, Tang Sanzang was watching the livestream, which mostly featured merchandise sales by various men and women.
"Learn livestreaming, make big money, make big money, good for obtaining the scriptures!" Tang Sanzang murmured to himself, his gaze resolute. Bajie was right; to make big money, one must learn to livestream.
Suddenly, a voice rang out: "Ding~ Heavenly Court livestream is now online. The Heavenly Court delegation is on a mission to Buddhism. This is the Heavenly Court's first large-scale foreign diplomatic mission. Please watch."
Tang Sanzang was startled. Heavenly Court on a mission to Buddhism, could this poor monk see the Great Leiyin Temple? He excitedly clicked on the livestream promotion and switched to a brand-new livestream page.
In the Great Tang, Emperor Li Shimin was reviewing memorials when suddenly a voice announced: "Ding~ Heavenly Court livestream is now online. The Heavenly Court delegation is on a mission to Buddhism, the first large-scale foreign diplomatic mission by Heaven and Earth. Please watch."
Li Shimin paused, frowning and muttering to himself, "Heavenly Court on a mission to Buddhism, could something significant be happening in the Three Realms? Gao De, turn on the livestream."
Standing in the corner, Gao De hurried out, dutifully responding, "Yes!" He opened the Three Realms Mall, entered the livestream page, and fixed it in front of Emperor Li Shimin.
In Kunlun Mountain, within the Kunlun Sect's grand hall, Jiang Ziya also opened the Three Realms Mall, watching the livestream with a peculiar look. The Diplomacy God of the Heavenly Court is Shen Gongbao, right? An old friend, long time no see.
Heavenly Immortals, mortals from the Earth Immortal Realm, and even the ghosts and gods of the Underworld all opened the Three Realms Mall, curiously watching this livestream. With the Heavenly Court embarking on a mission to Buddhism at this moment, what exactly are they planning?
Many Great Powers also opened the livestream, curiously watching.
In the livestream video, standing amongst the clouds was a Fairy, who smilingly looked into the camera and said, "Hello, friends from the Three Realms, I am Yu Sha, the customer service manager of the Heavenly Court Three Realms Bank. Today, I am tasked with bringing you this livestream.
Below, you can see our Heavenly Court delegation, led by the Diplomacy God Shen Gong God as the chief envoy. The left general is the Guardian General Shan Yao, and on the right is the Guardian General Du Xi."
The live broadcast camera shifted, pointing towards the entourage below, their carriages luxurious, powerful warriors bearing flags, and divine generals majestic, stepping on the splendid cloud path heading toward the West, moving with grandeur.
The comment section was buzzing with discussions.
I do Not Enter Hell: Does anyone know what is the intention of the Heavenly Court sending a mission to Spiritual Mountain?
Lord of Blood Sea: Ksitigarbha, you get out here.
I do Not Enter Hell: Sir, you've mistaken me for someone else, I am not Ksitigarbha, and I share no common sky with him.
Lord of Blood Sea: Heh, Ksitigarbha, don't let me catch you.
In the shadows of Yin Mountain, King Ksitigarbha shivered, squatting tensely within the Ksitigarbha Palace, the Ming He Sect Master wouldn't enter the Underworld, but he himself couldn't leave either! Why on earth had he become delirious enough to try and convert an Asura? Was he literally courting death? Could it be that a vast amount of money had blinded his wise dual eyes?!
Baiyue Guang: As far as I know, the mission is carrying the decree of the Jade Emperor to cultivate and share good practices with Buddhism, and Buddhism will prosper! O(∩_∩)O
Prince Nezha: Cultivating and sharing good practices, heh heh~
Xuanzhuang: Amitabha Buddha~ The partnership of the Heavenly Court and Buddhism will surely bless the Three Realms, the Buddha is compassionate.
Heluo Demon King: Heh, aspiring to rest and share good together? Sounds nice. The Emperor of Heavenly Court just pilfered a kasaya from Buddhism, guess it must be a trip to apologize, right? ←_←
Ghost Demon King: Agree!
Demon King Daniu: Agree!
Bank Director: Pah~ Open your eyes and look how many Magic Treasures in the Three Realms Bank's leasing area belong to the Emperor. Does that tattered rag of Buddhism even deserve the Emperor's robbery?
Xuan Tai: It's also possible that someone else snatched it first and then presented it to the Emperor.
Xuanzhuang: The monk feels that there might be some misunderstanding ⊙﹏⊙
The comment section was filled with uproar, and many followers of Buddhism also joined the tirade.
Majority were still contesting over Emperor Gouchen's snatching of the kasaya, and whether the Heavenly Court was indeed going to apologize.
At this moment within the Great Leiyin Temple of Spiritual Mountain, the Buddha Tathagata was seated high on the Lotus Platform, preaching the Dharma to a crowd of Buddha Bodhisattvas seated below.
After a short while, the preaching ended, and many Arhat Bodhisattvas dispersed, leaving only a few individuals in the hall.
Long-Eared Ding Guang cheerfully spoke, "Aynava, when you were sent to the Heavenly Court, what was the reaction of the Immortals there?"
Aynava replied with a smile, "Honorable Buddha, when I was sent to the Heavenly Court, I didn't disguise anything and spread the contents of the questioning Dharma Seal throughout the Heavenly Court. All the gods of the Heavenly Court were discussing it, tarnishing the reputation of Emperor Gouchen, while the Jade Emperor was vague in his words."
Universal Virtue Bodhisattva spoke with a smile, "It should be like this. The more people who speak up, the more it becomes reality. Now this matter has spread throughout the Three Realms, Bai Jin will reap his evil consequences."
Guanyin Bodhisattva stated, "The Jinlan Kasaya was indeed obtained by Bai Jin, further proving his act of robbery, and even his rebuttal would be powerless."
The Buddha Tathagata's grand voice echoed inside the Great Leiyin Temple, "All phenomena in this world are like dreams and illusions, when the false manifests as the true, the true also becomes false; you should discern the falsehood with wisdom eyes."
All the Buddha Bodhisattvas respectfully placed their palms together and chanted, "Namo Amitabha Buddha~"
At this moment, the Great Leiyin Temple was immersed in joy, and even the Buddha Tathagata was no exception. Finally, they had also plotted against Bai Jin in return, weren't you using rumors to plot against our Spiritual Mountain? Now we also disgust you once, treating you with your own methods, spreading the ill-repute of Bai Jin.
