Chapter 373: There is No Saint in Buddhism
Lin Ye, bathed in the Buddha's light.
Become the holy son of Buddhism!
This news spread quickly in the martial arts world, Taoism, and Buddhism.
This is also because Lin Ye is a third-level cultivator.
Otherwise, given the clear distinctions between the three parties and the lack of information, this news would only spread wildly within the Buddhist community.
Those who heard the news and had some knowledge of Buddhism immediately thought it was fake news.
Lin Ye is the holy son of Buddhism.
The Taoist ancestor can then sit on the lotus platform.
And no one in the Buddhist community believed it. As disciples of Buddhism, they knew their own situation well and scoffed at Xuanhui's words.
It is said that one can become a Buddha instantly by putting down the butcher knife.
The point is not to become a Buddha instantly, nor to lay down your butcher knife, but that you are not a heretic.
Otherwise, I will put down my butcher knife and send you to the West to see the Buddha.
Many Buddhist disciples were very angry about this and decided to go to Miaoying Temple to ask for an explanation.
However, after these Buddhist disciples came out of Miaoying Temple, they all changed their words and said absolutely that Lin Ye was the Holy Son of Buddhism.
This is because the Buddha was dissatisfied with his Buddhist disciples, who could not develop as well as the warriors and Taoists, so he reincarnated into Lin Ye.
"So, this Buddha light is just a special effect that I paid for?"
In Miaoying Temple, Lin Ye clasped his hands together and chanted "Amitabha". Behind him, there were dozens of halos of Buddha's light.
Buddhist scriptures constantly flow on these light circles, and many golden bodies of Buddha are also revealed.
This halo had no attack power, and even Lin Ye couldn't control it, but for the Buddhist disciples, it was shocking.
When many monks saw him for the first time, they immediately knelt down because they felt the pure energy of Buddhism from Lin Ye.
This... this is definitely the Son of God.
If he were not the holy son of Buddhism, how could he be accompanied by such a strange vision of Buddha's light?
Because of the spread of the news after these monks left, Lin Ye’s identity as the Holy Son of Buddhism became more and more widely known.
"Uncle Master, this is an invitation from the Leiyin Temple on the Great Snow Mountain in Xilanzhou, inviting you to attend the Buddha's birthday celebration."
Xuanhui ran over excitedly with an invitation in hand.
There are only ten days left for the Buddha's birthday this time, and the Leiyin Temple in Daxueshan is the number one Buddhist temple in Xilanzhou.
It is also one of the three largest Buddhist temples in the world.
The Buddha's birthday, which is held every ten years, is hosted by the top temples in the three states, and this year it happens to be the turn of the Leiyin Temple in the Daxueshan Mountains.
"Uncle Master, Leiyin Temple must have heard the rumors about your identity as the Holy Son of Buddhism, and many monks have also made requests to Leiyin Temple, asking it to invite you to participate in a formal coronation ceremony for you."
Lin Ye's identity as the Holy Son of Buddhism has not yet been recognized by all Buddhist disciples. If Leiyin Temple recognizes Lin Ye's identity as the Holy Son on this Buddha's birthday, then this identity will be completely confirmed.
"Do you think Leiyin Temple and the other two temples will recognize your uncle as their master?"
Lin Ye sneered. A large part of the reason why those temples recognized his identity was indeed because they were moved by the Buddha's light vision behind him, but don't these people have any selfish motives?
Lin Ye was actually very clear that his identity as the Son of God was actually of no harm to ordinary temples because he would not affect their interests.
On the contrary, the monks in these temples can use their status as the Son of God to spread the news of Buddha's appearance to attract more believers.
But Leiyin Temple is different from the other two temples.
They were originally the leading sect of Buddhism, and the appearance of this holy son of mine would inevitably affect their interests.
Because according to the rules of Buddhism, the status of the Holy Son is infinitely high. No matter who the monk is, he must show enough respect when meeting the Holy Son.
Unless there are sufficient reasons for the Holy Son's words, anyone who dares to disobey the Holy Son's orders will be scolded to death by all the Buddhist disciples in the world.
This is equivalent to hanging an emperor over the heads of these three temples. If it were him, he would not recognize the identity of the Holy Son.
Xuan Hui smiled sullenly. He naturally knew that the Leiyin Temple invited his uncle master because too many monks called for it, and the Leiyin Temple had to pretend to do something.
The second point is most likely that he was preparing to expose the fact that his uncle was not the Holy Son of Buddhism during the celebration.
"Uncle, I have carefully studied several saints in the history of Buddhism these days, and finally found that these saints do not have exactly the same characteristics."
"What's the meaning?"
"The first recorded Holy Son that can be found at present. The identity of this Holy Son was that the Buddhist sect suffered a great change at that time. Not only did the disciples wither away, but many Buddhist disciples also withdrew from Buddhism and chose to return to secular life. Against this background, the Mantuo Temple in Xishazhou at that time launched a Holy Son."
"With the appearance of this Holy Son, the Buddhist disciples began to gain cohesion and finally stabilized the collapsing situation."
Xuan Hui didn't say it clearly, but Lin Ye understood.
The Holy Son of Buddhism was a mascot introduced by Buddhism to rally people's hearts when Buddhism was facing decline.
"The second Holy Son appeared after three hundred years, and the third Holy Son appeared after five hundred years..."
"When these two saints appeared, Buddhism was on the decline."
"As for the process of identifying the Holy Son, the first Holy Son was because when he was reciting Buddhist scriptures, there were many golden statues of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas following him."
"The second Saint Son was not recorded in the information I found, and the third Saint Son was because he cultivated to the Golden Body Realm when he was less than 30 years old."
"The saints that come after this are all different, and there is no unified standard."
After listening to Xuan Hui's words, Lin Ye fell into deep thought.
From this point of view, the saints of Buddhism are used by Buddhism to unite people's hearts. Whenever Buddhism is on the decline, a saint will be created.
"Buddhism originally has no saints!"
Lin Ye made a judgment and looked at Xuan Hui, but Xuan Hui showed a bitter smile on her face.
Obviously, Xuanhui had the same inference, and for a Buddhist disciple, this truth was cruel.
Fortunately, Xuanhui is a relatively alternative Buddhist disciple.
"Uncle Master, since there is no Holy Son in Buddhism and all of them are artificially created, then why can't Uncle Master be the Holy Son of Buddhism?"
" What benefits will it bring to me to be the Holy Son of Buddhism?" Lin Ye asked bluntly.
Hearing his uncle asking this, Xuan Hui's eyes lit up, "Uncle, there are many benefits. Not to mention how much benefit it will bring to our Miaoying Temple, even you will benefit greatly."
"Not only are there Buddhist magical powers for you to choose from, Uncle Master, but there is also Buddhist initiation. Any saint who has not yet reached the Golden Body realm can receive the initiation of the relic and enter the Golden Body realm."
