"Manjusri! It seems that the Discipline Hall has been slacking off again over the past hundreds of thousands of years!"

In the main hall with a golden dome, Sakyamuni, sitting high on a lotus throne, spoke to his disciple Manjushri Bodhisattva beside him without joy or sorrow, and one could hear a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.

Since the Great Power entered the battlefield of the Emperor of Heaven, the Mount Sumeru Discipline Hall has been temporarily managed by Manjushri Bodhisattva. Even though she does not take care of things on weekdays, she is still responsible for the negligence in the management of the Discipline Hall.

"What Master said is true!"

A blush appeared on Manjusri's white face and he said: "As far as the disciples know, the Discipline Hall has always had a strict screening process for formal disciples. As for the lay disciples... Basically, as long as they are recommended by each country, No one will be turned away, after all, each country’s forces have fixed quotas!”

Her meaning is very clear. The guys who caused trouble this time are obviously lay disciples, so there is nothing that can be done about their slightly low quality. Usually, as long as they are formal disciples of Mount Xumi, they will not be so lacking in quality.

"I don't think so?!" A faint smile gradually appeared on the corner of Sakyamuni's mouth and said: "As far as I know, those stewards of the Discipline Hall usually accept bribes from the forces of their respective countries, right?! "

"This..." Manjushri Bodhisattva's face turned a little redder, and he didn't know how to answer this question for a while.

"Okay!" Sakyamuni waved his hand and said: "I also know that these things did not happen overnight, and I have no intention of holding you accountable. It's just that I don't want to see anything like this again from now on. phenomenon occurs.”

"Even if a lay disciple wants to enter the monastery, in addition to his cultivation talent, his personal cultivation quality must also pass the test. Otherwise, no matter how good his talent is, he will not be able to join our Buddhist sect!"

"..."

With just one sentence, Sakyamuni completely changed the underlying rules that had been formed over the years for recruiting lay disciples at Mount Sumeru. It seems that he did not just do it on a whim. He probably had this plan in his heart!

"Disciple, please remember Master's teachings! This matter will be handled properly!" After being stunned for a moment, Manjushri Bodhisattva could not help but show a touch of helplessness.

Originally, I had thought that while I was temporarily managing the Discipline Hall on behalf of Da Zhishi, as long as no major problems occurred, I would basically not interfere with the internal management matters of the Discipline Hall.

Now it seems that not only does he want to get involved, but he also wants to get involved deeply, and he will probably offend the entire management within the Discipline Hall.

Don’t think that the Great Thunder Sound Temple in Mount Sumeru is a Buddhist sect. It should be indifferent to the world. If this is the case, the Buddhist lineage will probably have disappeared in the long river of history.

Although the power struggle within the Great Leiyin Temple is lighter than that of some major forces, it is definitely not too easy, especially in the Discipline Hall of the Great Leiyin Temple.

Because this hall has great power both externally and internally, those who want to enter the Great Leiyin Temple must go through their review and screening, and the disciples who practice in the temple must be subject to their ubiquitous supervision.

Over the years, the Discipline Hall has gradually risen to become the most powerful hall on Mount Xumi, and the internal interest disputes have become extremely complicated.

However, today, Sakyamuni handed over this hot potato to Manjushri Bodhisattva. No wonder she frowned.

"Manjusri!" Sakyamuni said with a smile: "Don't have any psychological burden. In short, you must remember that you are doing things in accordance with the teachings of your master. No one can blame you for this. If you want to blame me, blame me!"

"Master's words are serious!"

After Manjusri had the support of Sakyamuni's words in public, her hanging heart was relieved: "The disciple will definitely fulfill his mission, so he ordered people to clear out those black sheep from the mountain gate. To prevent my peaceful place of Buddhist practice from being stained by their dirty words!"

Whoosh!

Once Manjushri Bodhisattva decided to risk his life, he didn't bother to think any more and disappeared without a trace. Then he turned into a faint golden light and went straight to Xumi Square with lightning.

During this period, she did not forget to secretly send a message to the three deputy hall masters of the Discipline Hall, asking them to immediately put down everything they were doing and rush to Xumi Square to gather!

The deputy hall masters of the three major Discipline Halls are actually the real stewards of the Discipline Hall. After receiving a relatively serious message from Wenshu, the temporary master of the Discipline Hall, they all made a secret sound in their hearts. Apparently they knew. Something bad happened.

They didn't dare to hesitate at all, they put down everything at hand, then rode on the clouds and headed straight towards Xumi Square in a flash of lightning.

To be able to become the three deputy hall masters of the Discipline Hall, the strength of these three people is only one level weaker than Manjushri Bodhisattva. They are also masters who have reached the strongest level of the emperor.

Almost as soon as Du Long was attacked by rumors, the top four leaders of the Discipline Hall, including Manjushri Bodhisattva, all rushed to the scene.

In Xumi Square, some of the old disciples who had stayed in Xumi Mountain for many years, after seeing this scene, subconsciously stayed away from those guys who were still shouting without mercy.

After learning from the past experience of Luo Yu, the second-rate prince, these older generation of Buddhist disciples understand very well that the scene that happened back then is about to happen again.

"Junior brother Du Long! Why did you return to the mountain gate this time?! You have come back now, why don't you go to the main hall to pay respects to the master?!" Although there was a trace of anger in Manjushri Bodhisattva's eyes, when facing Du Long, He still had a smile on his face.

"Du Long has met Senior Sister Manjusri!"

Du Long was extremely respectful to these brothers and sisters who had been following Sakyamuni for countless years: "Haha! I was just thinking that I hadn't gone up the mountain for a long time, so I wandered around for a while, and then went to see Master Sakyamuni. !”

"Meet Manjushri Bodhisattva!"

The three deputy hall masters of the Discipline Hall who rushed to the scene in a hurry were able to see the ceremony carefully. After seeing the ceremony, one of them asked doubtfully: "I wonder why Manjushri Bodhisattva suddenly called us here? !”

"Hmm!" Manjushri Bodhisattva didn't have much of a good impression of these three fat-bellied Discipline Hall Masters, so he nodded indifferently, then pointed to a few lay disciples below who had shut up and said: "Put those few Take down all the lay disciples who don't know how to respect their teachers and talk nonsense!"

"Yes!" Upon hearing that it was such a trivial matter, the deputy heads of the three major commandment halls immediately became energetic.

While accepting the order, they immediately waved to summon the many disciples of the Discipline Hall wearing standard monk robes around the square, and ordered them to capture all the guys named by Manjushri Bodhisattva.

"No! What crime did we commit?! Why should we be captured?!"

"That's right! The mighty Xumi Mountain Buddhist sect doesn't allow its disciples to tell the truth?! Such a style is completely inconsistent with the style of the big sect in the God Realm!"

"Yes! We are not convinced!!"

As the lay disciples who were named by Manjushri Bodhisattva one after another were taken down by the members of the Discipline Hall, some of the reckless guys among them immediately started shouting and yelling. Only one or two guys' faces were ashen, as if the sky was going to kill them. It seems to have collapsed.

The infinite regret could be seen on the faces of these two people. They almost slapped themselves hard. Why are they talking so much when they have nothing to do? !

You know, within their respective national forces, they had to pass through layers of screening before finally getting a limited quota to become a lay disciple on Mount Sumeru!

As a result, they have gained a lot of glory in their respective family forces. After returning from Mount Xumi in the future, they will definitely gain countless power and status in their respective family forces as formal lay disciples of Mount Xumi.

However, today they are very likely to burn down everything they have finally won because of their quick words!

"Noise! ​​If anyone dares to talk nonsense again, each of you will immediately receive a hundred killing sticks to see if you still dare to talk more!" Immediately, in order to curry favor with Manjushri Bodhisattva, a deputy hall leader attacked these people who were like ants in his eyes. The new lay disciple roared angrily.

The roar of the deputy master of the Discipline Hall suppressed the shouts of these people on the spot.

Compared with the external Buddhist countries, Manjusri, Samantabhadra and even the former Avalokitesvara are all very kind and compassionate figures, and none of them are particularly afraid.

On the contrary, these members from the Mount Xumi Discipline Hall make many outside practitioners feel extremely frightened and frightened. They know that there is only one consequence for offending them, and that is to be expelled from the mountain gate in minutes under various pretexts. You There is no place to appeal!

"Are you still not convinced?!"

Manjushri Bodhisattva looked down at the group of people below with an indifferent expression and said: "Although you are all lay disciples, as long as you stay on Mount Sumeru for one day, you must abide by the Buddhist rules of abstaining from ignorance and anger. I dare you to do it." Reached?!"

"The second crime is that although Du Long is also a lay disciple, his identity is the direct disciple of Sakyamuni Buddha. In terms of seniority, those of you who have not even settled on your status must at least be called He calls himself master uncle, right?!"

"However, you bastards who don't know how to respect your teachers are just talking nonsense about the elders behind your back. How dare you talk nonsense in front of Du Long today?! Do you admit this crime? !”

"I don't admit it!" Immediately a man in brocade clothes shouted loudly: "We are not spreading rumors, what we said is true!"

"You bastard! Come here! Give this idiot a hundred kill sticks first!"

Or was it the previous deputy leader of the Discipline Hall who gave the order on the spot? He was really angry at this idiot. At this point, the boy still couldn't understand the situation? !

Immediately, several disciples from the Discipline Hall pushed the man in robes to the ground aggressively, then picked up the killing stick specially used to punish prisoners and hit him hard on the back.

Manjushri Bodhisattva did not stop the execution at the Discipline Hall, but stood quietly beside Du Long, looking expressionlessly at the scene of screams below. (To be continued)
