Chapter 372: People need clothes, Buddha needs gold
Oh shit!
Lao Shi's tone of shock this time was much stronger than before.
"Buddhist Holy Light, you are not a pure Buddhist disciple at all, how could this Holy Light fall into your hands?"
The holy light of Buddhism is the highest glory of Buddhism. Only those devout Buddhist disciples or monks with profound Buddhist knowledge can be bathed in the holy light.
If you are not a pure Buddhist disciple, no matter how high your realm is, it is impossible for you to be bathed in the holy light of Buddhism.
This is determined by the exclusive nature of Buddhism.
Lao Shi couldn't understand why Lin Ye was bathed in the holy light of Buddhism.
"Amitabha, bathed in holy light, Uncle Master... is... is the Holy Son of Buddhism!"
Xuan Hui, who was standing next to Lin Ye, was also briefly stunned, but he was the person who reacted the fastest at the scene. After rolling his eyes, he immediately shouted excitedly.
When he shouted, the expressions in the hall became strange.
There were monks, warriors, and even quite a few Taoists in the hall. No matter which side they were from, they all knew Lin Ye's situation.
He is both a martial saint and a powerful person in the spirit realm.
Such a person, you tell me he is the holy son of Buddhism?
We all know the nature of Buddhism. Not treating Lin Ye as a heretic and purifying him was already a great act of mercy.
However, the monks of Miaoying Temple don't care about that.
After hearing the words of his abbot, which involved his great-grandmaster uncle, he knelt down immediately.
The air was shouting "Holy Son of Buddhism!"
Outside the main hall, many believers did not know who the Holy Son of Buddhism was, but when they heard their respected master kneeling on the ground and shouting with a pious look on his face, they also knelt down.
Inside and outside the Miaoying Temple, a large group of people knelt down.
It’s okay for the Taoist practitioners and warriors who come to watch the ceremony or join in the fun, but the Buddhist saint has nothing to do with them, and they don’t believe in Buddhism.
The embarrassed ones were the monks from other temples who came to watch the ceremony.
The Buddhist saints absolutely did not believe that Monk Xuanhui was just fooling around, but the key point was that a large number of people inside and outside the hall knelt down.
Especially those believers, many of them were staring at them at this moment, and some even had anger in their eyes, as if they had done something that was hated by God and man if they did not kneel.
"Today, the Buddha appeared and determined the position of the Holy Son of Buddhism. From now on, our Buddhism will flourish. This is a blessing for our Buddhist disciples and even more so for our vast number of believers."
Xuan Hui's words were so powerful that they spread throughout the temple and even the monks from other temples could no longer withstand the pressure.
Because they realized that if they didn't kneel, these believers would probably rush up and spit on them.
"Whatever, just kneel down. Just think of it as kneeling to the Buddha's presence."
"The Holy Son is fake, but the Buddha's light is real. There is nothing wrong with kneeling."
The monks comforted themselves, exchanged glances with each other for a while, and finally knelt down.
"Is this Xuan Hui... still a monk?"
Lin Ye, the only person standing in the hall, looked at the excited Xuan Hui on the side, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Don’t you have any idea whether you are the Son of God or not?
Shouting the Son of God.
This is disrespectful to Buddha.
Is this something a disciple of the Three Treasures can do?
I’m afraid he is an undercover agent who has infiltrated Buddhism.
"Uncle Master, there was a Saint in history. Before he entered Buddhism, he was a vicious bandit in the mountains and killed hundreds of people. Later, he became enlightened and entered Buddhism. He became my disciple and was finally named the Saint."
Xuan Hui seemed to have guessed what Lin Ye was thinking, and said with a serious face: "That person can still become the Holy Son. Uncle Master, you were conferred the title of Ghost King and saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Shangyang City. This is a great merit that can make you a Buddha on the spot. If you can't become the Holy Son, who else can become the Holy Son?"
Xuan Hui's voice was very loud, and all the believers who heard it showed expressions of agreement. Yes, if this is not enough to become the Son of God, then who can be the Son of God?
Especially the people of Shangyang City, they agree with it the most.
The monks from other temples, however, curled their lips in their hearts, thinking that Xuanhui was trying to change the concept.
The Holy Son in history was indeed a bandit before he entered Buddhism, but he was just a small warrior with less than a hundred furnaces. Later, he was enlightened by a Buddhist monk, joined Buddhism, and became a Buddhist disciple.
To put it bluntly, before joining Buddhism, his foundation was very clean.
Of course, this cleanliness does not refer to warriors and Taoist disciples.
But, you can't say this out loud.
A person who killed hundreds of innocent people can become the Son of God just because he is not a Taoist practitioner or a warrior. There are so many believers at the scene. If this news gets out, wouldn’t the faith of these believers collapse?
The monks present could not bear this sin.
Now that Xuan Hui used this person as an example, the people present naturally could not object, and they even had to nod in agreement.
"Abbot Xuanhui's words make sense."
"Amitabha, the Buddha's light is bathing us. This is a sign of the prosperity of our Buddhist sect."
No matter what, the fact that Buddhism has one more Holy Son is a good thing for everyone present. At least the believers will be more cohesive in the future.
Moreover, the quick-thinking monks also reacted. Lin Ye was a martial saint and a powerful soul master. Even if he became the Holy Son of Buddhism, he would probably not develop in Buddhism and would not use his status as the Holy Son to interfere in the affairs of their temple.
That does not involve any of their interests. Recognizing Lin Ye's identity as the Son of God has only benefits and no disadvantages. Why should they oppose it?
Xuanhui listened to the monks' words of agreement and a smile appeared on his face. He knew that these people would not object.
…
…
After the Golden Buddha inauguration ceremony, all the people who came to watch the ceremony left, but some believers stayed here because there would be a water and land ceremony next.
If the inauguration ceremony serves the rich and powerful, then the water and land ceremony is to bless all believers and liberate the souls of their ancestors.
Resting area in the rear hall.
Lin Ye looked at Xuan Hui until Xuan Hui's scalp felt numb.
“Uncle Master, this is really not my arrangement. I just had an idea earlier. I don’t have the ability to be bathed in Buddha’s light. Not to mention me, even a monk in the Golden Body Realm can’t do it.”
"Lin, this talented monk is not lying. He can't do this with his strength. If there are ten bald donkeys in the Golden Body Realm and a treasure of the highest level of Buddhist treasure, it will be possible."
Lao Shi’s voice rang in Lin Ye’s mind. This “talented monk” was the nickname Lao Shi gave to Xuan Hui.
"So what do you think happened to me?"
Lin Ye frowned and asked Lao Shi in his heart, how could this scene happen if it was not arranged by his nephew.
As for the words of the Holy Son of Buddhism, there was no way he could believe them.
This time, Lao Shi was silent for a long time before he said, "Perhaps, this proves the saying that people need clothes, and Buddhas need gold."
"Uncle Master, I may know the reason. It may be because seventy-two golden Buddhas were cast this time."
Xuan Hui also gave his guess almost at the same time.
Lin Ye listened to the voice coming from his ears, then listened to the voice in his mind, and after a long while, he finally uttered a word.
"Are these Buddhas so unprincipled?"
