Universe’s Ultimate BOSS
Chapter Summary
"Amitabha!" Taixu put his hands together and said, "Although you have grasped the true meaning of Buddhism, you have no Buddha-nature in your heart. If this is the new generation of Buddhism you speak of, then I really cannot agree with it." Wang Hao curled his lip and said, "Don't act like you're some kind of authority. If everyone studies Buddhism but doesn't understand it, that would be a tragedy for Buddhism." All the monks present looked at Taixu with admiration.
"Amitabha!" Taixu put his hands together and said, "Although you have grasped the true meaning of Buddhism, you have no Buddha-nature in your heart. If this is the new generation of Buddhism you speak of, then I really cannot agree with it."
Wang Hao curled his lip and said, "Don't act like you're some kind of authority. Whether your Buddhism is better or mine needs to be verified by the market."
The entire audience fell silent. The supreme Dharma had been reduced to a mere marketing gimmick by this scoundrel.
However, everyone admired Wang Hao for daring to say such things in front of the Buddha.
Isn't he afraid of displeasing Buddha and having him slapped to death?
Taixu shook his head. "Buddhism is not marketing; it is about persuading people to do good. If everyone studies Buddhism but doesn't understand it, that would be a tragedy for Buddhism."
All the monks present looked at Taixu with admiration. He truly lived up to his title as the Buddha; his words were indeed profound.
Wang Hao said with a look of disdain, "That's the thinking of your older generation. We young people study Buddhism just to show off, to eat meat, to drink alcohol, to read palms for young girls, and then to pick them up."
"Well said!!"
The young monks in the room clapped and cheered excitedly, feeling that Wang Hao's words had truly touched their hearts.
If they were given a chance to choose again, they would rather die than learn Buddhism; it's simply not a human way to live.
But if they could eat meat and pick up girls while studying Buddhism, they would be willing to study it even if they were beaten to death.
"Insolence!" Fazhao shouted angrily, "This is a sacred Buddhist site. How dare you spout nonsense here? Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be sent to be burned at the stake."
The young monk was startled and quickly lowered his head, not daring to show his joy.
Wang Hao said sarcastically, "Oh my, who was it that said such nice things just now, that Buddhism guides people to goodness and doesn't care how many people there are? But now they're threatening the new disciples and even going to burn them at the stake. How cruel!"
“You…” Fa Zhao was furious.
"What do you mean, 'you'!" Wang Hao sneered. "I am the new generation's spokesperson for Buddhism, while Taixu is the old generation's spokesperson. Taixu hasn't even spoken yet, and you dare to interrupt like this? Do you think you're more powerful than Taixu?!"
Everyone present turned pale, realizing that this bastard was a master at stirring up trouble and a real expert at creating discord!
Fazhao turned pale with fright and quickly knelt down to explain, "Buddha, that's not what I meant, I just..."
Taixu waved his hand, "No need to explain. You are very easily angered and need to train yourself properly."
"yes!"
Fazhao bowed respectfully, then silently stepped aside, not daring to utter another sound.
Taixu sized up Wang Hao and said, "What you said makes sense. Times are progressing, and Buddhism cannot remain unchanged. This old monk can test your new generation of Buddhism."
As soon as he finished speaking, a murmur of surprise and disbelief erupted throughout the room.
"What does Buddha mean by this!?"
"Does he intend for Sun Wukong to preach Buddhism?!"
"Those who can preach Buddhism are all highly accomplished monks. What merit or ability does this Sun Wukong possess?!"
"Although I don't want to admit it, Sun Wukong's Buddhist cultivation is really high."
"How can someone with profound Buddhist teachings but impure intentions set up an altar?!"
"His ability to comprehend the golden body of an Arhat shows that his Buddhist teachings are not entirely useless. Therefore, the Buddha asked him to set up an altar so that he could see clearly whether this kind of Buddhism was suitable for propagation."
"The Buddha has a broad mind, and he was able to tolerate this unruly disciple."
"The Buddha's heart is truly magnanimous; I cannot wait for ten thousand."
"May Buddha have mercy..."
“…”
Wang Hao curled his lip. What magnanimity and Buddhist teachings? This old bald monk had been stuck at a bottleneck for years and was just trying his luck with no other option.
If he succeeds, he will be the master of the universe.
If it doesn't work, then he hasn't lost anything.
Since that's the case, why not do it!
Taixu smiled and said, "Sun Wukong, what do you think of opening an altar to preach Buddhism?"
Wang Hao waved his hand.
He turned and left, saying, "My Buddhist teachings aren't about preaching; they're about how much money you give as incense money. If you don't give money, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he wouldn't be able to understand my Buddhist teachings."
The faces of everyone present darkened, and they were deeply skeptical of whether the new generation of Buddhism that Wang Hao spoke of truly existed!
Wang Hao turned around and said with a smile, "I will open a crash course in Buddhism. If anyone is interested, you can come to me with donation money. I will definitely let you know what the new generation of Buddhism is."
The people present were slightly taken aback; they hadn't expected Wang Hao to actually intend to spread a new generation of Buddhism.
The people just couldn't understand how eating meat, drinking alcohol, chasing girls, and flirting could possibly lead to the understanding of the true meaning of Buddhism!
"Knock knock knock..."
Just then, a series of urgent bell tolled.
The expressions of everyone present changed drastically, and they exclaimed in shock, "This is the highest level of Buddhist alert, seventy-two bell tolls! What major event has occurred?!"
Taixu frowned, then vanished from his spot in an instant, ignoring Wang Hao completely.
Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. If he wasn't mistaken, Miao Ku must have returned to deliver the news of the death.
This means that Taixu's appearance was not intentional, but rather a chance encounter.
"No, I have to divert these guys' attention." Wang Hao smirked and quickly rushed into a small alley.
The young monks called out urgently, "Master Sun Wukong, where are you going? When are you going to start your crash course?!"
Wang Hao's voice came over, "We'll start the crash course right here tomorrow morning. We guarantee you'll receive your money and the goods on the spot."
The old monks present turned pale. The supreme Buddhist teachings, in the mouth of this scoundrel, were actually full of the stench of money. It was truly infuriating.
………
Tianfo Star.
The street was a complete mess.
Pedestrians on the street were pointing and whispering about a monk lying on the ground.
"Isn't this the genius Pudu?! What's going on with him?!"
"It seems like we were beaten up and ended up here."
"Who dares to perform a salvation ritual on Tianfo Star?!"
"have no idea……"
“…”
"Aww..."
Suddenly, a dragon's roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
Everyone looked up and saw a golden dragon, ten thousand meters long, waving its claws in the sky. Standing on the dragon's head was a young man. Who else could it be but Wang Hao and the Ancestral Dragon?!
However, Wang Hao put away the Tianfo Universe ID card and reused the Mantian Guohai ID card.
Wang Hao put his hands together and said, "This humble monk is Tang Sanzang, from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East. I have come here today to beg for alms, and I hope you will give me some local specialties."
"Local specialties!?"
The monks below looked bewildered. They ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures every day; what local specialties could they possibly have?
"Since you all don't understand, then this humble monk will have no choice but to retrieve it myself." Wang Hao sighed helplessly, commanding the Ancestral Dragon to charge downwards with overwhelming force...
