The Shaolin Temple abbots of the various worlds looked at each other, their brows tightly furrowed, their expressions conflicted. This matter wasn't easy to handle.
After hundreds of years of preaching, the Buddha of Buddhism had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It was not something that they could give up just because they wanted to. Perhaps they would even be regarded as fallen monks by the monks of the original world and the Devil Cult.
He had been a Buddhist for hundreds of years, so how could he just give up on a whim?
If they were to return to their original world and preach about the abandonment of Buddhism, they would probably lose a large number of Buddhist believers. Then, the Shaolin Temple would be destroyed on its own.
The result of the vote was no surprise. It was not passed.
At this moment, the expressionless Abbot Xuan Ci of the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils world straightened his cross-legged body and knocked on the table in front of him thrice with his left hand.
"Since everyone doesn't agree, it's time for us to choose a person to be the leader of Buddhism. If there are scum of Buddhism like Maha-Vairocana in the future, we can draw a line with them."
Abbot Hui Cong of the Deer and Cauldron world glanced at Abbot Xuan Ci of the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils world and said.
The heart of Abbot Xuan Ci, who was in the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils world, couldn't help but beat a lot faster. His hands, which were placed under the table, were clenched so tightly that they turned a little pale.
This time, he had put in a lot of effort. If the Earth Sweeping Monk became the Buddhist Sect Leader, then everything would be worth it.
If the sweeping monk failed again, the Shaolin Temple would suffer a great blow.
"I wonder what the outcome will be this time?" Abbot Xuan Ci of the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils world muttered to himself, a trace of confusion in his eyes.
This was not the first time the Sweeping Monk was elected as the Buddhist Sect Leader. Before this, there had been three or four times.
In the end, under the tactful opposition of the Shaolin Temple's abbot and the silence of the eminent monks of the Shaolin Temple from other worlds, the Sweeping Monk only became an agent.
Only when a Buddhist conference was held, or when there was a great change in Buddhism, would the sweeping monk have one or two rights over the abbot of the Shaolin Temple.
If it wasn't for the fact that the sweeping monk was highly skilled in martial arts, he probably wouldn't even have been elected as the representative of Buddhism.
If one were to define the status of a sweeping monk in Buddhism, he would be a free puppet.
Hearing this, the sweeping monk did not say anything.
He was also very interested in the position of the leader of Buddhism.
The leader of a large sect represented the ability to mobilize a large amount of resources. Zhang SanFeng, who was in the same generation as him, had already surpassed him by a step.
Also, why were Confucius, Laozi, and Mohist masters of the hundred schools of thought able to advance by leaps and bounds in such a short time?
Apart from his own high comprehension ability, the support of the church's resources was also inseparable.
The abbot of the Shaolin Temple, who had been neutral all this while, was almost moved. Buddhism was under too much external pressure and needed a leader. At present, only the sweeping monk was suitable.
Some of the Shaolin Temple's abbot who was against it were also shaken.
"I think we should wait for a while. Although Great Master Sweeping Monk is highly respected, the other disciples of the Shaolin Temple do not know about him. Let's wait for the publicity to finish before we elect Great Master Sweeping Monk." An abbot of the Shaolin Temple in a technological world stood up. The fat on his face shook, and his eyes were filled with ambition.
The starting point of cultivation in the technological world was the lowest. Even the cultivation realm was far behind that of Abbot Hui Cong in the world of The Deer and the Cauldron, let alone the unfathomable sweeping monk.
This fat abbot secretly planned to wait until his strength became the number one expert of Buddhism, then he would personally integrate the Shaolin Temple in each world.
If the sweeping monk sat on the position of the Buddhist leader, basically no one else would be able to do anything.
As soon as the fat monk finished speaking, it resonated with the monks of other technological worlds.
They could not compete with Patriarch Bodhidharma, but the hidden sweeping monk had no reputation, so it was difficult to convince the masses.
Seeing this situation, Abbot Xuan Ci in the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils knew that if this continued, the sweeping monk would have no chance of becoming the Buddhist leader again.
"Everyone knows that whether it is Buddha or Bodhisattva, it is a kind of Buddhist realm. The higher the realm, the higher the cultivation." Abbot Xuan Ci in the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils explained, then closed his eyes and concentrated.
"I think what Great Master Xuan Ci said is very reasonable. If we were in the world of the Journey to the West Exorcism, Great Master Sweeping Monk would probably also be respected as Buddha or Bodhisattva." In the world of Jianghu, Great Master Fang Zheng stood up and glanced at the many Shaolin Temple abbots in the conference room.
"We already have Buddha here, why do we need to find other Buddhas? Great Master Sweeping Monk can completely take the position of the Buddhist leader." In the world of the Divine Condor Heroes, Zen Master Tian Ming gently turned the Buddha beads in his hand, glanced around the conference room with a hint of doubt, and then looked away.
In a row, four Shaolin Temple abbots supported the sweeping monk to take the position of the Buddhist leader. Moreover, these four Shaolin Temple abbots were all born in the world of martial arts, and they were the first batch of Shaolin Temple abbots to enter Wanjie Lou.
The other abbots also realized that the situation in the conference room had changed dramatically.
If they did not elect a Buddhist leader today, would Shaolin Temple forcibly elect the sweeping monk as the Buddhist leader?
"We also agree." In an instant, more than ten Shaolin Temple abbots stood up.
All the Shaolin Temple abbots in the world of science and technology looked at the situation in the conference room, and their expressions changed dramatically. In their eyes, the barbarians had completely defeated them.
However, in the conference room, the Shaolin Temple in the world of science and technology could not take the initiative at all.
Looking at the questioning eyes of the other Shaolin Temple abbots, the Shaolin Temple in the world of science and technology knew that they could not go on stubbornly.
"We also agree with Great Master Sweeping Monk." The Shaolin Temple abbots from the world of science and technology bowed to the sweeping monk in unison. Their faces were respectful, but their hearts were full of anger.
They were eminent monks from the modern world, but they had unexpectedly submitted to the barbarians.
"This old monk will not decline. Buddhism is now in a crisis, and it must be resolved as soon as possible."
The sweeping monk saw that all the Shaolin Temple abbots below had agreed, so he opened his mouth to speak.
His voice was calm, without sorrow or joy, as if being in charge of Buddhism was a very ordinary thing.
"The first thing that we Buddhism must do is to buy the monk who robbed Wanjie Lou's goods, and punish him according to the Shaolin Temple." The sweeping monk looked solemn as he instructed Abbot Xuan Ci of the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils world.
They must now express Buddhism's attitude towards Vajra Buddha robbing Wanjie Lou's goods.
As for the second thing, the sweeping monk did not say it, but the other Shaolin Temple abbots were very clear, which was to announce that the sweeping monk had become the leader of Buddhism, and the unification of Buddhism.
Since they had decided to express their attitude, the sweeping monk led all the abbots of the Shaolin Temple out of the conference room in a grandiose manner. The next moment, they appeared in the Myriad World Mall.
The sudden appearance of the Shaolin Temple monks attracted the attention of the customers in the Myriad World Mall. It was bright and shiny.
After the Vairocana incident, Buddhism had been much more low-key, so why would there be such a large-scale operation?
Could it be that they had thought of a way to solve the impact of the Vairocana incident?
But soon, all the customers in the Myriad World Mall had a playful smile on their faces, because a large group of foreign monks walked out of Wanjie Lou, escorting Vajra Buddha.
Most people could see that Vajra Buddha was a breakthrough to solve the Vairocana incident, but now he was bought by another monk alliance formed by some foreign monks.
"Great Master Sweeping Monk, this is the leader of Buddhism, Great Master Jiu Mozhi." Jinlun Fawang of the Divine Eagle Companions world pointed to a monk in a yellow frock in front of him. He was less than fifty years old, and he was dressed in plain clothes and straw shoes. There was nothing special about him, but his face was in high spirits, as if there was a treasure light flowing around.
"The leader of Buddhism?"
The sweeping monk did not speak, but the Shaolin Temple abbots behind him were furious. A foreign monk dared to call himself an orthodox Buddhism?
"We will execute this demonic monk near the Myriad World Elementary Academy. This is my duty as the leader of Buddhism, to maintain the righteousness of Buddhism." Jiu Mozhi of the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils world bowed slightly to the sweeping monk and the others, but his eyes were full of pride.
As long as he could break up the Shaolin Temple alliance in front of him and win over some of them, he would become the Buddha of all worlds.
"Amitabha, I have also just become the leader of Buddhism." The sweeping monk's expression was calm, and his eyes were like an ancient well.
However, the alliance formed by foreign monks could feel an invisible aura coming from the sweeping monk.
Hum ~
Jiu Mozhi of the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils world also did not want to be outdone. He operated the True Qi in his body to fight against the sweeping monk.
The Shaolin Temple alliance versus the foreign monk alliance?
All the customers in the Myriad World Mall looked at the two groups of people with anticipation. Wanjie Lou had been quiet for a long time!
