The Goddess Palace.
Nuwa told Cang Chanyu all the information from the Purple Vault.
She presented the story from an objective standpoint, without personal bias.
"Master, do you think the treasure spoken of by Dao An is what? Could it be the legendary Taian treasure, the Chaos Bell?" Cang Chanyu winked at her master. It meant that she and her master should team up to fool Old Deng.
Nuwa could only laugh and cry: "Stop winking. Grandmaster Dao should know about this; it's just that the saints don't."
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?" Cang Chanyu no longer wanted to hide the matter of the Chaos Bell. She couldn't help but think about the main issue: "Since it's not the Chaos Bell, what is the treasure pointed by this divided rock? What does Master think?"
Before she came, Nuwa had already calculated with the river chart and Lo-shu many times. However, Hongjun's realm was far beyond the limit of the river chart and Lo-shu. The level of the so-called treasure was terrifyingly high. The book was almost burning with smoke, but still couldn't derive an answer. There was no clear answer at all. Now they could only guess.
Cang Chanyu made a bold guess: "Could it be the Hongmeng purple qi given to Hong Yun Dao Ren in the past?"
Nuwa's expression was very serious: "As the teacher, I cannot guarantee it. If you really want to know, let the moonlight try."
Try it? Cang Chanyu thought about it for a while and decided that no one understands the management of a great sect better than herself!
However, the position given to Moonlight by Jieyin was too low. After all, he is not an unrooted wandering immortal. You've bestowed a multitude of Buddhist titles on others, but when it comes to your side, you only give a Bodhisattva. Who are you looking down upon?
Guanyin Bodhisattva is an exception. In general, a Buddha is perfect, which means 100%, and a Bodhisattva is between 90 to 99%.
She said, "First, don't rush. Let's see what choices the Daoist disciples make."
Nuwa's mindset was also calm: "Um, you can make your own decision."
Appeal to Hongjun is a double-edged sword.
Hongjun took out the divided rock and the so-called treasure clues, which were allotted to all the disciples of the saints. Your Buddhism cannot say that you are selecting a manager in isolation, regardless of who it is, that is definitely not acceptable. This is disrespectful to Dao An.
Maitreya, the Medicine Buddha, and these direct disciples haven't been reading Buddhist scriptures or practicing these days. They are instead wandering around within the sect, contemplating how to more efficiently handle administrative affairs and resolve internal conflicts.
Jieyin and Zhentai were generous. They knew that it couldn't be kept secret, and when the Buddha and Buddha Mother descended to Ling Mountain, they explained the importance of this matter to all Buddhist disciples. This time, the requirements for cultivation were relatively low, theoretically speaking, anyone could have a chance.
The Buddhist sect directly exploded, and all the disciples were fixated on the treasure mentioned by Hongjun. Each one was thinking that they could do it too, with the same idea running through their minds: "I can do it!"
How can we determine who is qualified and who isn't? We can't just have any Saint's disciple come and manage the Buddhist sect for a month. That would be too chaotic. Without the Devil Buddha causing trouble, their great sect would automatically collapse on its own.
Jieyin personally intervened and set up a Ten Thousand Buddha Array at the foot of Mount Ling. This is an illusionary array imbued with the power of sages, entirely composed of illusions, but capable of simulating all aspects of daily Buddhist practice and discipline. If a Saint's disciple comes to "apply" for the position, he will be allowed to enter the array. The array will automatically unfold various affairs, observing how they are handled. Finally, the array will also score the Saint's disciple.
Whether the scoring is accurate, whether the highest scorer can truly manage the Buddhism, and whether the winner can gain the recognition of the Divided Treasure Rock, even Jieyin does not know.
He has already done his best with what he has. As for me, I have these abilities. If you are not satisfied with my treatment, we can discuss further.
Or you can go and find the Divided Treasure Rock yourself in the Hongwang era. If your luck is exceptionally bad, maybe you can pick it up from some corner or crevice.
Cang Chanyu was eager to dissect and ponder the knowledge of corporate management. She recalled everything she could remember, from companies to schools, reviewing them all.
She talked with San Yisheng and Jiao Geli for several days, using the opportunity to chat with Ji Dan and Ji Zi Ya about governance experience for half a day during a visit to Zhou.
She even went to Huoyun Cave to seriously consult the Human Emperor, not to imagine primitive people in such a simple and honest manner. In reality, human nature has remained unchanged, but what has changed is the environment. There were more conflicts in the primitive society, and those who would directly engage in physical violence at the slightest disagreement were common.
Through sincere communication, she found that Fu Xi and Shen Nong had relatively few experiences in governing the country, while Huangdi had very rich experience that benefited her a lot.
If she can manage a country well, governing a sect with thousands of members shouldn't be a big problem, right? Setting up the Left and Right Radiant Envoys, the Four Protectors of the Sect, and the Five Elements Flag...
She thought it wouldn't be a big deal with her mouth, but in her heart, she still felt unsure.
She has no confidence, but others are filled with confidence.
"Ayu, do you think I can score how much?" Bixiao stood in front of the Ten Thousand Buddha Array, full of vitality. It seemed that the Buddhist sect would invite her to be the leader in the next moment.
Cang Chanyu didn't know where this young lady's confidence came from, and couldn't bear to crush it, so she could only say ambiguously, "She should get a decent score."
Bixiao seems to think of the scene where she commands a group of Jiejiao rebels, which makes her extremely happy. Even Yun Xiao's advice to be modest and patient cannot penetrate her mind.
The Ten Thousand Buddha Array occupies a vast area, and the heavenly qi of the Dao in front of Mount Ling is several times more concentrated than that in other parts of the Western World. Cang Chanyu and the Three Xiao watched for a while, seeing that Buddhist disciples and Jiejiao disciples were constantly entering the array, all of them with relatively low cultivation. They went in quickly and came out just as fast. None of their scores exceeded sixty.
"Let me show you! Sister, Au Yu, these days I've learned two hands from Jin Ling Sister and one special technique from Master DuoBao. They all say I have great insight and should be the one to manage a large teaching. Hahaha!" Bixiao was very confident, striding confidently into the Ten Thousand Buddha Array with an air of not recognizing any family members.
Zhao Gongming and Yun Xiao seemed quite worried. Their sister was also too reckless, while Qiong Xiao was quite calm and directly said that Bixiao would not succeed because she is the true master of the Buddhism that was destined by fate!
Cang Chanyu waited without expression, and Bixiao took significantly longer to go into the array than the other disciples. It was a full hour before she emerged, her eyebrows knit together as she walked slowly out of the grand array.
"How many points?" She turned around to see, and saw a "one hundred" appear on the spirit banner at the entrance in no time.
Bixiao was overjoyed and almost jumped up.
"Sister, Au Yu, Big Brother, have you seen? My management skills are strong, right? A hundred points!"
Cang Chanyu, Yun Xiao, and Zhao Gongming: "
They shifted their gaze awkwardly, truly embarrassed to say so. The "Ten Thousand Buddha Array" manages ten thousand Buddha statues, and one hundred points are just barely passing. Your one hundred points...
Qiong Xiao also tried her luck, and she was indeed stronger than Bixiao. She scored 350 points. When she found out that one hundred points wasn't the full score, Bixiao was very angry. The little Azure Dragonet beside her were all laughing, and they were chased by this Lady for a while.
