Traveling to heaven to be executed as a prisoner, Lu Chuan opened his mouth to expose the most heart-wrenching truth. If he no longer had money to pay his salary, the gods would come down to earth and become monsters.
He proposed to levy a merit tax, and Heaven issued a golden light notarization on the spot, and the Three Realms Taxation Bureau was officially listed. No matter whether you are the Monkey King or Guanyin Bodhisattva, you must pay no less of the tax.
The merit earned by Sun Wukong from causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace will be 12 million in back taxes and late fees. If not paid, the golden cudgel will be frozen and the title of Monkey King will be revoked.
Guanyin's millennium incense revenue is 300 million, and she wants to use it to save all sentient beings as a tax deduction, so she freezes the jade purification vase and makes all the lotuses on Mount Putuo wither.
Monsters eat people and pay consumption tax, gods come down to earth and pay a tax, and Taishang Laojun pays value-added tax when he sells golden elixirs.
Lu Chuan holds the Sword of Heaven, and those who evade taxes will have their immortality and Buddhist status revoked and be thrown into reincarnation.
But as he searched, he discovered a shocking secret. Buddhism had been boasting for thousands of years of immeasurable merit, and it was all due to tax evasion.
They sent their mounts down to earth to eat people in exchange for merit, bribed the underworld to change the book of life and death, trafficked people for incense, and evaded more than 10 billion in taxes in total.
Big bosses from all walks of life have lined up, and heaven, the demon world, and the underworld have formed a joint inspection team.
Lu Chuan was stunned and glanced at Lingshan, "Tathagata, stop hiding, it's your turn to pay the tax."
