"It's strange that all the cats and dogs following us have disappeared."
On the way to Lingshan, Xuanzang was surprised to find that all the Western Buddhist disciples who were monitoring them disappeared without a trace.
The pilgrimage team felt that the silence along the way was eerily silent, with no trace of life in sight, which made people shudder.
"Master, I'm afraid, are they hiding somewhere, just waiting for us to take the bait?"
Zhu Bajie looked around carefully and said timidly.
The quieter you act, the more it shows that this is the calm before the storm. When a conflict actually breaks out, it will only become more intense!
"Why are you being cowardly? With a master to support you, there is nothing to fear from the minions of Western Buddhism!"
Xuanzang waved his hand and said domineeringly.
As long as people from Western Buddhism dare to come, their master and disciples will dare to fight. Even if there are problems that cannot be solved, Lin Xuan and the Meishan immortals will take care of them, so there is no need to worry at all.
After climbing Lingshan Mountain, the mighty Buddhist pressure surged in like a tide, repelling anyone who wanted to offend the dignity of Buddhism.
However, such blocking methods were not worth mentioning to the Buddhist scripture collection team. They continued to move forward despite the pressure of Buddhism. There were also no Western Buddhist disciples to guard them.
"Is it possible that this Western Buddhist sect is frightened by our masters and disciples, so they don't dare to come out now?"
Seeing such a situation, Zhu Bajie finally became bolder and walked swaggeringly.
"It's better to be careful in everything. Western Buddhism's methods are too insidious. This may also be a cover-up to confuse us."
Sun Wukong said cautiously.
Seizing the true scripture means the passage of luck for Western Buddhism. Western Buddhism will not give up the true scripture no matter what.
"Elder brother is right, it won't be too late to be proud after we get the scripture."
Sha Wujing nodded and said.
Since the scripture collection team had experienced the disaster of Xiaoleiyin Temple before, they had a very clear idea of the layout of Leiyin Temple in Lingshan, and they directly found the location of the main gate of Leiyin Temple.
The three gilded characters of Leiyin Temple are filled with light, and the rich purple energy is mixed in them. The Buddhist holy land is magnificent and dignified!
"Master, are we going to rush in like this?"
Zhu Bajie swallowed his saliva, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. This was a direct entry into the lair of Western Buddhism!
"What are you afraid of? If they dare to say one more word, they will do what they want!"
Xuanzang stepped into the gate unceremoniously, followed closely by Sun Wukong and the four others, cautiously looking at the surrounding environment.
The scripture-collecting team looked around and found that Leiyin Temple was also empty, and no Western Buddhist disciples could be seen in it.
Such a scene immediately left the scripture collection team confused. Could it be that, as they thought, Western Buddhism had given up resistance and was no longer prepared to be enemies with their masters and disciples?
"Is there anyone else in here? If someone is there, just scream twice!"
Xuanzang shouted loudly and wanted to find a few Western Buddhist disciples to come out and confront him, but Xuanzang only received an echo.
"The holy monk and several disciples came here but were not welcomed at a distance. Don't blame them. Don't blame them."
Soon, after Xuanzang called, dozens of disciples of Western Buddhism appeared in Leiyin Temple, and they all came forward with smiles on their faces.
The four of Sun Wukong and the two Xuanzang immediately formed a circle to protect them, and they were ready to deal with the coming Western Buddhist disciples.
"Holy Monk, please don't do this. We can put down our guard and have a good talk."
Pure Joy Buddha said with a very kind expression, without any airs at all.
"Holy Monk? Who are you talking to?"
Xuanzang frowned and stared at Pure Joy Buddha, and asked with caution on his face.
"Buddhism certainly welcomes the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi and the holy monk and his disciples who have come to make pilgrimages."
Qingjing Xifo explained patiently and skillfully prepared to pull Xuanzang into the main hall of Leiyin Temple.
"What are you doing? Don't get close to me. I'm no longer a golden cicada. This time I brought my brothers here to seize your Western Buddhist scriptures!"
Now, Xuanzang actually felt that the Pure Joy Buddha in front of him was a little too enthusiastic, which gave Xuanzang an uncomfortable feeling of chill.
"Since the holy monk is here to obtain the Mahayana Buddha Dharma, he will follow me to meet my Buddha Tathagata so that he can pass on the Mahayana Buddha Dharma."
Pure Joy Buddha didn't seem to be affected at all and continued to speak with a smile on his face.
"Are you sick? Are your brains frightened by us?"
Xuanzang said "Hey" and pushed Pure Joy Buddha away.
The Buddhist disciples who came to greet the Buddhist scripture collection team all had smiles on their faces, and their speech and behavior were so weird that it made people feel creepy.
If Western Buddhist disciples behaved like this, Xuanzang thought it would be better to have a straightforward fight.
The more weird it behaves, the more problematic it becomes. Maybe this is also a plan of Western Buddhism!
"Master, what do they mean, and why are they still welcoming us?"
Even Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing realized something was wrong and asked Xuanzang in confusion.
On the way to seek Buddhist scriptures, the Western Buddhism tried to kill them again and again. Why are they welcoming their masters and disciples so kindly now? There must be a ghost among them!
"Didn't the holy monk and several disciples come here to obtain Mahayana Buddhism?"
Pure Joy Buddha asked.
"Yes, we are here to steal your Western Buddhist scriptures!"
Xuanzang answered decisively, indicating the intention of the Buddhist scripture collection team and hoping that these disciples of Western Buddhism could react normally.
"I, Buddha Tathagata, have been waiting for a long time to provide Mahayana Buddhism to the saintly monks. If the saintly monks and several eminent disciples want to practice Mahayana Buddhism, there is no need to rob it. Just follow me to get it."
Pure Joy Buddha smiled with satisfaction and then said.
"Let you go get it? Are you really so kind?"
Xuanzang looked even more confused. Could it be that Western Buddhism really has such good intentions?
"Of course that's the case. I, Buddha Tathagata, have ordered me to open the door to receive the guests and lead you, the holy monk, and several of his disciples to learn the Mahayana Dharma!"
Under the command of Pure Joy Buddha, a group of Western Buddhist disciples lined up in two lines, making a welcoming gesture and waiting for the group to enter Leiyin Temple.
"Master, what kind of medicine are they selling in the gourd? I'm afraid they are using new methods to plot against us."
Zhu Bajie whispered softly.
People would know that this battle was the Hongmen Banquet at a glance, so how could they dare to enter Leiyin Temple casually? Once their master and disciples stepped into Leiyin Temple, it would be an overwhelming trap!
Their master and disciples are about to be caught in the urn of Western Buddhism. They are destined to enter or not to escape!
"What are you afraid of? No matter what conspiracy he has, just rush in and steal the scripture."
Xuanzang said disapprovingly, rolled up his sleeves and walked in the front.
"Uncle Lin Xuan will save us anyway!"
