From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 349 A Loving Mother and Filial Son? A Deep Bond Between Husband and Wife? It's All a Transaction.
"Have you thought about going to see your mother?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the newly appointed Dinghai Huiju Buddha Tuojie froze.

"What happened?!" Ao Qian's face showed a hint of anxiety. "Now that you have become a Buddha, with your current status, even the Ten Kings of Hell would have to give you some face. At least your mother won't suffer too much in the underworld. Didn't you go?"

"Please don't be sad, Father. Mother was reincarnated six years ago."

"Reincarnated six years ago?!"

“Exactly.” Tuo Jie looked bitter. “The first thing my son did after he attained enlightenment was to ask Buddha to save his mother from suffering, and he was willing to exchange his Buddhahood for her. But… but Buddha told him that six years ago, his mother’s sins had been cleansed and she had been reincarnated according to the rules.”

"The sins have been absolved, that's good, that's good!" Ao Qian smiled. "It's good to part amicably, the Great Celestial Venerable is truly merciful!"

"Father, Father King, you..."

Ao Qian's reaction was somewhat unexpected for this newly appointed Dinghai Huiju Buddha.

"What, do you think I have a good relationship with your mother?" Ao Qian glanced at him. "To tell you the truth, if it weren't for you, I would have left Jinghe long ago. I originally planned to divorce her once your future was clear, but I never expected that kind of thing to happen." At this point, Ao Qian added, "Now that you've become a Buddha, you should know something about what happened in Jinghe back then, right?!"

"Uh, yes, I know a little bit."

No one in this world is a fool. Even if someone is a fool, once they become a Buddha and attain enlightenment, Mount Ling will enlighten them. Just like Tuojie now, once he becomes a Buddha, he can no longer be treated like a fool. He must be honest and truthful. Otherwise, people will really be treated like fools.

"What happened back then should have been the trigger for the journey to the West. The original target was me. They used Yuan Shoucheng to provoke me, wanting me to violate the Heavenly Laws, then kill me, and then let my ghost frighten the Tang Emperor, thus bringing out this matter of Buddhism saving people." As he said this, he glanced at Tuo Jie.

A hint of unease flashed across Tuo Jie's calm face.

how to say?

If he had known all this before the journey to the West, he would have hated Buddhism and the person who orchestrated it all. But now, he has turned around and become a beneficiary, and it seems that he is the one who benefited the most in the early stages.

The position of Buddha!
This is awkward.

Are you saying the Buddhist temple is poorly designed? Or are you going to seek revenge on the designer?
Is Ao Yan's life really worth that much money?

Isn't it a waste?

Well, even he himself felt it wasn't worth it.

People always have to grow up and face reality.

“Your mother was also bewitched by the calamity at the time. Alas, when caught in the calamity, one has no choice but to act. No wonder others are to blame!” Ao Qian sighed dramatically.

Their eyes met briefly, exchanging a knowing glance.

That concludes the discussion.

“Father, although I have attained the Buddhahood, my current level of attainment and strength was enhanced by external forces and is far from being fully integrated. Therefore, I need to return to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss for secluded cultivation. This seclusion will probably last for a long time, and I am afraid I will not be able to participate in the future struggle between Tao and Buddha.”

“This is a good thing. Your strength is indeed too weak. Whether you follow Taoism or Buddhism, winning or losing has little to do with you,” Ao Qian said with a smile. “The Western Paradise must also have many Great Luo Heavens. You can spread your Buddhist faith in those Great Luo Heavens. Perhaps when you come out again, you will already be a Golden Immortal.”

"Thank you for your kind words, Father." Tuo Jie smiled and took out a jade talisman, handing it to Ao Qian. "Father has sacrificed a lot for my future. These are two Heavenly Gang Divine Powers bestowed upon me by Buddha after I became a Buddha. Other Buddhist teachings are not convenient to show to others, but these Heavenly Gang Divine Powers are very suitable for Father. Please accept them with a smile."

“Not bad, you’ve become much more sensible since becoming a Buddha.” Ao Qian smiled as he accepted the jade talisman. “It seems you’ve transcended worldly ties. Go now.”

A fleeting look of embarrassment crossed Tuo Jie's face. She bowed again, and with a flash of golden light, she disappeared from Ao Qian's sight.

"I never expected there would be such an unexpected bonus."

Ao Qian looked at the jade talisman in his hand, his divine sense penetrating it, his expression shifted, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"With this divine ability, my speed in refining the Flowing Sand River should be greatly accelerated!" The two Heavenly Gang divine abilities, one to overturn rivers and seas and the other to summon wind and rain, are the two divine abilities most suitable for the Dragon Clan.

In fact, most dragons possess these two supernatural abilities, but what dragons call supernatural abilities are merely fragments and superficial understandings of these two abilities.

True Heavenly Divine Power points directly to the root cause; it is a conceptual ability, much like the talisman in his hand, which is something akin to authority.

For example, last time in the West Sea, that old bastard Ao Run used his Dragon King authority to borrow the power of the entire West Sea to deal with him. If Ao Qian could master the skill of stirring up rivers and lakes, he could compete with Ao Run for control of the entire West Sea, and even strip the other of his authority.

The same principle applies to summoning wind and rain.

With the Journey to the West over, the real conflict between Buddhism and Taoism will unfold within the human race. Ao Qian has no interest in this and once again sneaks back into the Sand Valley, focusing on circulating his primordial spirit and refining the Flowing Sand River.

The saying goes, "The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease."

While Ao Qian was not focused on cultivation, the situation in the Three Realms changed once again.

The journey to the West was successful, and all five members of the pilgrimage group attained enlightenment. However, what caught the most attention was not that the Monkey King was named the Victorious Fighting Buddha, but that the little dragon Tuojie also received a Buddha position.

This……

Everyone was puzzled.

It should be noted that although Mount Ling is known as the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the number of Buddhas is limited, with a total of one hundred and eight.

These 108 Buddha positions are not only to be conferred within the Three Realms, but also within the countless Great Luo Heavens and myriad realms under the jurisdiction of the Western Paradise. Who knows when, an unparalleled genius might emerge.

Therefore, it can be said that there are countless radishes in one hole.

No one can say anything if Tang Sanzang occupies one spot, after all, he was Buddha's close disciple, who achieved enlightenment after ten reincarnations.

There's nothing to say about the monkey; it's a spiritual stone monkey, blessed with good fortune. Entering Buddhism will bring glory and good fortune to the Buddhist community. Besides, it has a powerful backer.

What is Tuo Jie anyway?
The son of a wild dragon, who wasn't even a true immortal when he joined the Journey to the West, was constantly being beaten up along the way, yet he still managed to become a Buddha.
The key point is that two of his fellow disciples failed to become Buddhas, so how could he become a Buddha?
Although the other two had no objections and happily accepted the result, others couldn't accept it!

"Buddha of the Sea of ​​Wisdom and Torch, Bodhisattva, what does this mean? Are you asking us to hand over the four seas to you?"

South China Sea, Purple Bamboo Forest
The Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Guang, roared in a rare display of disbelief.

The Four Seas Dragon Clan was one of the first forces to collude with Buddhism, and they paid a heavy price to obtain a spot from Guanyin.

But now, not only has the spot been taken, but that damned person who took it has actually gotten a Buddha position, and the title is Dinghai!
Isn't this just stirring up trouble?

Is this some kind of troublemaker?
Where does this place the Four Seas Dragon Clan?

Does Buddhism really support that damned Ao Qian in creating some new dragon clan?

Upon receiving news of this person, Ao Guang immediately brought the other three Dragon Kings to the Purple Bamboo Forest. They did not expect to change anything, but rather wanted to obtain some inside information and truth from this bodhisattva who was known as the teacher of the Seven Buddhas, to see if the Buddhist sect had truly sided with Ao Qian.

"This is a transaction, and it has nothing to do with the Dragon Clan. That Buddha Dinghai Huiju has now severed his worldly ties with Ao Qian and returned to the Pure Land to cultivate. He will not leave the Pure Land for the next ten thousand years, so you don't need to worry." Guanyin said calmly to the furious old Dragon King. "As for Ao Qian, you don't need to care about him either. The so-called new Dragon Clan is just a bargaining chip for him to bargain with the people behind him. His heart is not in the Four Seas."

“That Ao Qian is just a wild dragon who married into the family. He suddenly rose to prominence. He must have obtained some kind of opportunity. The Bodhisattva should know about this, right?” Ao Guang suddenly asked.

“That wasn’t a stroke of luck, but rather the awakening of innate wisdom.” Guanyin interrupted Ao Guang’s reverie with a single sentence, looking at the ambition gleaming in his eyes. “He was very lucky; he awakened his innate wisdom just as his calamity was about to befall him. Moreover, his identity in his previous life was extraordinary, and he had powerful backers, so…”

"So my sister took the blame for him?"

"It's all about timing and fate. When a great calamity strikes, the secrets of heaven become obscure, something no one could have predicted," Guanyin said with a wry smile. "Just like Tuojie this time, his attainment of Buddhahood was merely a transaction between Mount Ling and the forces behind him. You don't need to overthink it."
