Chapter 833: Chapter 833
Namo Merit Buddha shouted angrily: "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva! Return the money to me now."
Namo Dragon Venerate King Buddha stepped forward, enraged, and shouted: "Ksitigarbha, I respected you as an ancient Bodhisattva, trusted your words, and lent you money.
Yet you deceived my feelings, return the money swiftly."
"Acting without cause, speaking deceitful words, no wonder you cannot attain Buddhahood."
Many Buddhas stepped forward, condemning Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, filled with righteousness.
In the Western Spirit Mountain, many great abilities were also watching the situation in the Underworld.
Now with the heavenly secrets clear, all Buddhas could deduce cause and effect with a calculation.
Amidst the ruins, the Tathagata Buddha’s anger caused the fleshy lump on his head to tremble, lamenting, is it easy for me to work hard to flourish Buddhism? Why is each of you stabbing me in the back?! Randeng Ancient Buddha falsely complies and disobeys, Maitreya Buddha, a rebel, stares at my position every day. Ksitigarbha, actually dared to take advantage of the unclear heavenly secrets to embezzle most of Buddhism’s wealth, how dare you? Who gave you the courage?
Maitreya Buddha, Medicine Buddha, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva all noticed, is Ksitigarbha mad? With one lie you fooled ten thousand Buddhas, though you amassed boundless wealth, how will you escape?
Inside the Maitreya Hall, Maitreya Buddha’s eyes turned, saying: "Huang Mei, you also go to the Underworld to ask Ksitigarbha for money."
Below, Huang Mei Child said in astonishment: "Buddha, we didn’t lend Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva any money!"
"I think we did, go quickly!" Maitreya Buddha said with a smile: "This time Ksitigarbha is doomed, to quell the anger of all Buddhas, the Tathagata Buddha will surely distribute Ksitigarbha’s wealth among the Buddhas, you go collect some too."
Huang Mei Child’s eyes lit up, immediately rushing outside with glee, indeed, I too lent Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva a lot of money.
Coincidentally, elsewhere Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, Randeng Buddha, Medicine Buddha, and others all made the same decision, beams of Buddha light descended from the Spirit Mountain, shining in the Netherworld Yin Mountain.
At the peak of Spirit Mountain, after Duo Bao Tathagata Buddha calmed down from his anger, he thought perhaps Ksitigarbha’s actions might be beneficial, although he himself is Buddha, Ksitigarbha, Maitreya Buddha, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, and these great abilities left over from Mahayana Buddhism days, truly have extraordinary ranks and pose numerous constraints to him. Now that Buddhism is prosperous, it’s time to clean house, it’s the perfect time for supreme authority, Ksitigarbha actually provided a good opportunity.
Duo Bao Tathagata Buddha made up his mind, calling out: "Anan!"
A beam of Buddha light blossomed before him, from the light emerged Anan Venerable, who joined his hands respectfully, chanting: "Buddha!"
"You are to convey my Dharma Decree! Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s unbecoming behavior, speaking deceitful words, giving rise to greed and anger, bringing harm to Buddhism.
Now revoke his Bodhisattva Fruit Position, demand he return the money, imprison him beneath Yin Mountain, without Buddha’s decree, not to be released."
Anan abruptly looked up towards the superior, exclaiming in shock: "Buddha, that’s Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, sect hierarch’s disciple."
The Tathagata Buddha’s calm and solemn voice conveyed: "I am the Buddha!"
Anan shivered all over, a thought rising in his mind, times have changed! Hastily responding: "Yes!" then turned and left.
All the great powers in the Three Realms sat at their doorsteps, drinking small sips of alcohol, munching on fruits, laughing as they watched Buddhism’s joke, with some relishing the chaos, videos and images uploaded in the Three Realms Mall spread instantly.
In the Palace of the Polestar, the Heavenly Emperor sat on the dragon chair, below stood various gods on either side, surrounded by immortal aura.
A Haotian Mirror hung suspended in mid-air, the gods also watching the scenes at Yin Mountain, in a solemn mood.
The Heavenly Emperor’s steady voice transmitted: "What do you see?"
"Reporting Your Majesty, I see the prosperity of Buddhism, all Buddhas gather, magnificent in momentum."
Many gods nodded subconsciously, right now in terms of high-level power, Buddhism’s overall strength is above the Heavenly Court.
"Reporting Your Majesty, I see the foolishness of Buddhism, just a mere lie can toy with all Buddhas, Buddhism is nothing much."
"Reporting Your Majesty, I see the unity of Buddhism, one side lacks money, ten thousand Buddhas support, truly astounding."
"Reporting Your Majesty, I see Buddhism’s battle power..." ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel⚑fire.net
"Reporting Your Majesty, I see Buddhism’s influence in the Underworld..."
The gods gave their opinions one after another.
The Heavenly Emperor sat on high, his face unchanging, no joy or anger discernible.
"Yang Jiao, what do you think?"
Yang Jiao stepped forward two steps, saluting with respect, saying: "Reporting Your Majesty, I see opportunity, some Buddhas in Buddhism seem to be disloyal, perhaps our Heavenly Court should make an effort to win them over."
The Heavenly Emperor nodded slightly, saying: "This is the doctrine that Emperor Gouchen has long pursued."
"Gold Star Taibai, go convey the decree!"
Gold Star Taibai stepped out of position, smiling as he walked towards the outside.
In the Blood Sea, Bull Demon King, Princess Iron Fan, Red Boy all emerged, curiously watching from the edge of Yin Mountain.
"Hiss~" Bull Demon King drew a breath, softly saying: "I, Old Niu, how did I never realize Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had such courage before."
Princess Iron Fan snorted coldly, saying: "Your mind was full of that Sao Fox back then, what else could you see?"
Bull Demon King hastily laughed, saying: "Wife, I was under the Buddha Sect’s evil spell at the time, not my intention, and it’s all in the past now, haven’t we agreed not to talk about it? Not good for the child to hear."
Red Boy was uninterested in their affairs, quickly asking: "Father, Mother, is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva going to die?"
"He won’t die, his identity is not an ordinary one, even the Tathagata Buddha can’t kill him."
"Ah!" Red Boy called out in slight disappointment.
Bull Demon King looked down and glared at Red Boy, asking: "What are you planning to do?"
Red Boy said regretfully: "I was hoping to seize Yin Mountain and declare myself king after Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva died! How could he just not die!"
"Smack~" Bull Demon King smacked Red Boy on the head, causing him to stagger, warning: "You stay honest, dare to act out in the Underworld, and I will smack you dead."
Red Boy looked at Bull Demon King angrily, it’s really infuriating, daring to hit my head, just wait, I’ll go complain to grandpa.
Princess Iron Fan said: "You both stay honest, if you don’t want to watch just go home."
Bull Demon King and Red Boy immediately stood at attention, looking up towards Yin Mountain.
Atop Yin Mountain, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sat on the lotus platform, with countless Buddhas standing above him.
Diting Divine Beast nervously looked around, not feeling safe at all.
Namo Merit Buddha shouted: "Ksitigarbha, now what do you have to say? You must give us an explanation."
"Repay the money! Ksitigarbha repay the money!"
"Ksitigarbha, quickly repay the money, or it won’t end well."
Huang Mei Child stood on the cloud head, shouting with excitement: "Explain, you must explain, give all the money back to me."
