Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 129: Golden Cicada’s Dream

This is not just lip service. There really is a group of people in the Buddhist door who uphold these words.

They constitute the foundation of the Buddhist door.

The world never lacks justice. Especially under the doctrine of Buddhism compassion, there will never be a shortage of good people.

There are always a group of pure monks, steadfast in their hearts, fear no power, silently guarding the world.

To make justice unshaken, let the common people shed no tears, let the evil not rampage, let the homeland be fulfilled, this is where their faith lies.

It is because of their existence, that the Buddhist door is known for its compassion across the Three Realms. Compassion obtained from hypocrisy isn’t real and won’t last long.

The reputation of the Buddhist door today is exactly because of these monks silently saving the world.

In the Three Realms, there are many injustices which no one can handle all. But once these people see it, they will interfere regardless of life and death, even if it costs their own lives.

So we can say, these are pure people.

For the justice in their hearts, as the Confucian sages said, even if there are thousands of people, I will go.

What Jiang Chen and others are waiting for is this group of people.

Because they have a sense of justice, they will rush to the rescue even if they are obviously not the Demon Clan’s match after hearing the news of the siege.

The Human Race in the Xiniuhe Continent has suffered so many difficulties, but they still retain their faith in the Buddhist door. Besides the years of brainwashing by the Buddhist door, there is also this group of people to thank.

If it wasn’t for these people constantly saving humanity and actually practicing the teachings of Buddhism, no matter how well-rounded the Buddha’s paintings are, nobody would ever believe them.

Everyone is not a fool, they cannot be fooled by the Buddhist door.

It’s precisely because of the existence of these people that the humans here firmly believe that Buddha will save them.

...

Time flies, several days have passed in a blink of an eye.

During this period, no one came to the rescue.

As for this, Jiang Chen is not anxious. Xiniuhe is so vast, and it takes time to spread the message. It’s normal that no one is coming for a while.

However, while thinking this, Jiang Chen secretly sentenced the Buddhist masters around him to death.

Buddhist masters who don’t come to the rescue despite being far away can be excused for not knowing the news. But those who are near Heavenly Dragon City and see the Demon Clan besieging the city but do not come to the rescue deserve to be executed.

If people are suffering and you turn a blind eye, then you are just pretending to follow Buddhism, you’re not really in Zen.

Once you join the Buddhist door, you should hold compassion and make it your duty to save humanity. If you can’t accomplish this, why did you join the Buddhist door in the first place?

Be realistic. If you can’t do it, leave early. Don’t take advantages, but be afraid and hesitant in the face of difficulties.

If this is the case, Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon will show you the meaning of Buddhist discipline.

At this time, Jiang Chen has already made up his mind.

If no monks within a thousand miles come to the rescue in ten days, then after this incident, the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon will carry the Buddhist discipline and punish the monks.

If no one comes to the rescue within one hundred days, the range of punishment will extend to a hundred thousand miles. After that, the punishment range will expand by ten thousand miles every ten days.

So everyone knows that the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon isn’t just a decoration, and the rules of the Buddhist door are not just for show.

If you violate the discipline, you really could die.

Above Xiniuhe Continent, the Heavenly Dragon will transform into the Sin Buddha and punish you.

...

Time flies, and dozens of days have passed.

On this day, someone finally came. It was Jiang Chen’s old acquaintance, the Golden Cicada, the second disciple of the Buddha.

He is a great master.

The reason is simple: his master is the Buddha.

As the top power in the Three Realms, the disciples of the Buddha won’t be weak. Otherwise, it would be a loss of face for the Buddha and a disgrace to the Buddhist door.

Aside from his status as a disciple of the Buddha, Golden Cicada is also a pillar of justice in the Buddhist door.

At this point, even though he is very kind, he’s not foolish. When dealing with bad people, he tries to persuade them, and if persuasion doesn’t work, he will kill without mercy.

He won’t pardon their crimes just because they are life forms. To be merciful to the sinner is the greatest cruelty to the victims. This is not mercy, but stupidity.

This truth was taught to the Buddhist door by the ancient Confucians.

In the debate between the Confucian and the Buddhist in the past, this point was critically refuted by the ancient Confucians, causing a resonance between heaven and earth, leading several Buddhas to directly lose their faith and their True Spirits to pass away.

That’s why the Buddhist door has a profound impression on this point, and many people keep it in their hearts, making it their principle to behave.

Golden Cicada is one of them.

He was a witness to the debate between the Confucians and the Buddhists. When the ancient Confucians fought against a group of Buddhas, he personally witnessed the whole process.

The demeanor of the Confucian sages has left a deep impression on the young Golden Cicada.

When Golden Cicada has time, he will think that if he had encountered Confucianism earlier than Buddhism, he might now become a universally respected Confucian scholar, leaving a name in history.

And not a second disciple of the Buddha on Spiritual Mountain, living cautiously every day. People always say that being a disciple of the Buddha is prestigious, enjoying the best resources of the Buddhist door.

But do any of them know that he lives in fear every day?

On the Spiritual Mountain, all kinds of power struggles exist. Even the powerful Buddha has to be careful of schemes from all sides, let alone Golden Cicada.

On the Spiritual Mountain, Golden Cicada leads a very tired life.

The only thing that could cheer him up probably was seeing the heartfelt smiles of the people he saved.

...

...

Inside Heavenly Dragon City, when Jiang Chen saw Golden Cicada come, he was overjoyed at first, but then his face gradually sank.

This is not because there is a problem with Golden Cicada, but because he himself has a problem.

There is a problem with his real body at Heavenly Dragon Temple.

The screen switches to the Heavenly Dragon Temple, where you can see Jiang Chen’s real body sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The Heavenly Dragon Temple has just been established, and before Jiang Chen could build the temple, Heavenly Dragon City encountered a problem. He immediately went there and the construction of the temple was delayed.

So, Jiang Chen is now sitting cross-legged on the ground.

But these are not the main points. The main point is that around him, from all eight directions -- east, west, south, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest -- all kinds of weird-looking beings are swarming.

These beings have different appearances. Some have blue faces and sharp teeth; some have three heads and six arms; some are shaped like large birds with a big lump on their heads; some look like humans but have a horn on their heads; some have the body of a human but the head of a snake...

In short, they are not humans, and they look extremely terrifying. They are not good species.

If anyone familiar with Buddhism is present, they will recognize these creatures coming from eight directions as the Eight Groups that protect the Buddhist School.

The God Group, the Dragon Group, the Supernatural Beings, the Gandharvas, the Asuras, the Garudas, the Kinnaras, and the Makaras.
