The Tang monks went to the Western Heavens to learn the scriptures because of Guanyin's lead, but when they returned to the Eastern Tang Dynasty, they were escorted by the Eight Great Kongs, so why didn't they continue to appoint Guanyin to complete this matter?

Rulai felt inspired during the class, commented on the advantages and disadvantages of the four major continents in front of everyone, and then he proposed to send someone to the Eastern Tang Dynasty to find the scripture taker, and the sutra taker took away their scriptures, and the Buddhas listened to the rare silence, the silence in the air even a needle could be heard, everyone shrank their heads like quails, and only Guanyin chose to stand up.

Rulai was very happy to see her right-hand man stand up, this matter can only be done by a thoughtful person like Guanyin, Guanyin did not live up to the trust, arranged the matter of learning the scriptures steadily, she constantly added eighty-one difficulties, and the gods and immortals of the Celestial Realm also sold her face and became the best supporting role in this performance.

In short, Guanyin was relieved to do things, but when the Tang monks and disciples returned to the Eastern Tang Dynasty, Guanyin had already retreated into the background, and the people who handled it again had been converted into the Eight Great Kongs.

After the Tang monks and disciples took away the real scriptures, the eight vajras transformed into bodyguards and escorted a few of them away, in fact, according to the rules, the Tang monks should go back by themselves, but because their speed was too slow, if they did not send them back, they would not be able to catch up with the art of one tibetan, so their original land route was temporarily adjusted to air transport.

However, the Eight King Kongs are not the people in charge, they are only responsible for sending people to mid-air, and the rest of the road needs to be walked by Old Tang himself, such an irresponsible attitude is not what Rulai wants.

The Eight King Kongs are so slack in their work, why can they still be selected?

Because their starting point is not to cut corners, on the contrary, they are really doing things according to the rules. After the Eight Vajrayogini, they also explained that if they went down for fear of revealing the idol of the gods, they absolutely could not go down, and it was their upright attitude that infected Rulai and made Rulai's heart loosen.

Guanyin is certainly appropriate, but Rulai really does not dare to let her go to the Eastern Tang Dynasty again, and the lessons of fourteen years ago are still vividly remembered.

Guanyin got into big trouble when he went to The Tang Dynasty. Guanyin spoke passionately at the lecture of the Tang monks, and then transformed into a god statue in front of everyone, Li Shimin saw the living immortal for the first time, a little excited, so he ordered Wu Daozi next to him to paint the true face of Guanyin, and because of this, the statue of Guanyin was moved to the painting unchanged.

Immortals should not have leaked the idols in front of mortals, it is easy to lose their sense of mystery, Guanyin is clearly a big taboo, if not if she does not pursue, she may have to bear punishment, and the Eight Great Kongs are different, they strictly follow the company's rules and regulations, unswervingly guard their true appearance, it is no wonder that Rulai sent them to send Tang Monk.
