Inside the Daleiyin Temple.
Guanyin Bodhisattva walked slowly in a white shirt.
He looked calm, as if he had found the direction with mountains and seas in mind.
But being alone, he looked so out of place among the thousands of Buddhas in the Mahavira.
All the Buddhas were looking at him, but he was looking straight ahead.
He went straight to the Tathagata and performed a Buddhist salute to the Tathagata.
"I am the Buddha with mercy."
His voice was plain and long, and it seemed like he was paying homage to the Tathagata. But in Guanyin's eyes, he was worshiping the Buddha in his heart, not the Tathagata himself.
Tathagata looked solemn and looked at him calmly.
The Tathagata doesn't even know that in the distant future, he will be like Guanyin, with no desires or desires.
"Thank you to my Buddha, my disciples have traveled through mountains and rivers for many days, and finally found Guanyin Bodhisattva." The Samantabhadra Bodhisattva on the side bowed and said.
He was totally unwilling to find Guanyin.
After all, once Guanyin comes, nothing will happen to him, but this is also a helpless move.
The Tathagata waved his hand, then looked at Guanyin, and said in a slightly polite voice: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, I have come to see you to discuss something important."
Because of what happened before, Tathagata feels guilty.
At this moment, Tathagata no longer commanded Guanyin directly in an almost commanding manner as before, but his tone was slightly requesting.
Guanyin has changed, and Tathagata no longer dares to be as harsh on Guanyin as before.
"Is the journey to the West what the Buddha is talking about?" Guanyin asked in a calm voice.
The Tathagata immediately nodded, "Yes, I came to you because of my journey to the west. You don't know that Manjushri Bodhisattva passed away not long ago, and this journey to the west requires Guanyin Bodhisattva to come." Take control.”
Upon hearing the news of Manjusri's death, Guanyin's eyes flashed with shock, but then dimmed.
"Buddha has high regard for his disciples. If the disciples have messed up the journey to the West time and time again, how can they still be responsible for the journey to the West?"
Tathagata chuckled, "I don't think too highly of him, I don't think too highly of him. Even though his journey to the west is blocked at every turn, Master Guanyin's ability is still obvious to all."
The surrounding Buddhas silently listened to the conversation between the two, and they all looked surprised.
When did Buddha change and become so polite to Guanyin?
They still vaguely remember that a long time ago, the Buddha chased Guanyin and beat him in the main hall.
Now I sigh and sigh, things have changed and people have changed.
However, Guanyin's face was calm and calm, with almost no desires or desires.
"Reporting to me, Buddha, my disciples are only concerned about the hardships of people's livelihood and have no interest in participating in the journey to the West."
After experiencing life and death, gains and losses, Guanyin has already seen clearly the essence of Journey to the West.
The so-called Journey to the West cannot save the common people, it can only earn merit for the saints, it can only make Buddhism flourish, but it does not help at all to reduce the suffering of the people.
"Master Guanyin, you'd better think about it carefully." Tathagata said with a smile.
The surrounding Buddhas were shocked.
If this happened in the past, Buddha would have burst out and he would still be so smiling.
Guanyin began to think deeply.
It's not that he doesn't want to participate in Journey to the West, it's just that for him now, he feels that doing such self-deceiving things goes against his own Buddhist heart.
Yes, the essence of Journey to the West is to deceive oneself and others.
All the Buddhas around him were stunned.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, who used to be unscrupulous in the past, has now become so calm.
Seeing Guanyin like this, Tathagata felt even more sad.
"Oh, it's all my fault. Guanyin is no longer the conscientious Guanyin she once was." Tathagata sighed secretly.
The former Guanyin was equivalent to his deputy, taking care of all his affairs in an orderly manner.
But since Guanyin's death, he clearly felt that he had more and more things to worry about, and there was no one to share them with him.
Only then did Tathagata realize that Guanyin had shouldered so many trivial things for him before, and that it was really inappropriate for him to treat him like that before.
And now that Guanyin has become like this, if you don't blame him, who should you blame?
After pondering for a moment, seeing Guanyin not speaking, Tathagata said guiltily: "Guanyin, what happened before was my fault. I never thought that you would become what you are today."
"Buddha, what happened before is in the past. There is no need to mention it again. Besides, my disciple also likes me very much now. Speaking of which, it is Buddha who made me grow. It's not too late for me to thank you."
To be honest, Guanyin really has no intention of blaming Tathagata.
He just hates his former self, and his current self is the truest self.
Hearing this, Tathagata couldn't help but feel happy.
If Guanyin doesn't blame him, it means there is still room for redemption.
So the Tathagata immediately said: "No one else can do the task of subduing the red boy in the dry pine stream of Hao Mountain. Only Guanyin can take action."
"Me?" Guanyin finally knew where the Westward Journey team had gone.
Tathagata nodded and continued: "The Red Boy has the true fire of samadhi, and only your Yangzhi nectar is its nemesis."
Guanyin suddenly realized.
But when it comes to Yangzhi Manna, Luojia Mountain was robbed before, and now he has very little left.
After hesitating for a moment, Guanyin sighed and said: "Well, that red boy has been committing evil and committing crimes for many years and is not convinced by the righteousness of heaven and earth. I, the one who has done good deeds and accumulated virtue, should save him."
"Bodhisattva agrees to go?" Tathagata was very happy to hear the words, "Then it will be troublesome for Master Guanyin to make a trip."
"Buddha, this disciple has a request." Guanyin said suddenly.
Tathagata showed doubts.
"I am going here this time with the sole purpose of teaching Hong Boy to be a good person. As for whether the journey to the west will be successful or not, and whether Red Boy can finally enter Buddhism, it all depends on fate and has nothing to do with me."
"Okay, okay, as long as Master Guanyin agrees to go, everything will be easy to discuss."
Tathagata nodded repeatedly.
For him, if Guanyin goes there, he still has a glimmer of confidence in conquering the red boy and even completing the disaster.
If Guanyin doesn't go, we won't have the slightest certainty.
Immediately, Guanyin left Daleiyin Temple step by step under the gaze of many people.
Next to him, Samantabhadra took a step forward and said, "Buddha, I see that Guanyin Bodhisattva is not interested in traveling to the West now. I am worried that the journey to the West may not be successful."
"Furthermore, Guanyin said that it only depends on fate and has nothing to do with him. He is obviously shirking responsibility and worrying that the Buddha will settle the score with him."
"Shut up." Hearing Samantabhadra say this, Tathagata frowned and scolded: "You crow's mouth, don't speak ill of Master Guanyin behind your back."
Puxian suddenly became speechless.
The current Tathagata feels guilty and has his heart turned to Guanyin, and cannot listen to what others say.
Pu Xian's face suddenly turned ugly.
He and Manjushri Bodhisattva worked so hard, but they couldn't compare to Guanyin's position in the heart of Buddha.
Even when Manjusri died, the Buddha never felt so guilty.
"If I die one day, will Buddha feel sorry for me?" Samantabhadra sighed in his heart.
Why is this person different from other people?
Puxian still said unwillingly: "Why don't Buddha also send me to follow you secretly? I can adapt to changes when the time comes. I can also use some means at critical moments to increase the certainty of completing the disaster."
