Lingshan is now so depressed, with ruins everywhere.
Jieying believes that this is probably caused by the Buddhas fighting against the Buddhists in the process of controlling them.
Maitreya's body trembled, and he lowered his head and said: "No, the pilgrims did not come to Lingshan. It was Tathagata Buddha who rebelled. He left Lingshan with most of the Buddhas and disappeared."
"What?" Jie Yin's eyes widened.
Obviously, even Ying himself had not thought of such a thing.
Tathagata dared to betray him? !
"What about the pilgrims? If you didn't come to Lingshan, where did you go?" Jie Yin asked, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"I don't know. I sent Samantabhadra to look for them, but I couldn't find them. They seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, without a trace."
Snapped!
As soon as Maitreya finished speaking, Zhe Yin's slap came over and sent him spinning 360 degrees.
"You have turned Lingshan into this state. I will deal with you when I am done."
Jie Yin said, turned around and left.
Maitreya covered his face, looking aggrieved.
In the following time, I traveled to various places in the three realms just to find the whereabouts of the Buddhist pilgrims.
In Qinglong Mountain, the three rhinoceros spirits only knew that the pilgrims were on their way. As for whether they were heading west, they didn't know.
In Zhujie Mountain, Jiuling Yuansheng didn't know about this either.
After receiving the invitation, he immediately went to Yinwu Mountain, and the King of Nanshan, Jin Bao, also expressed his ignorance.
Then we went to Shituoling.
Facing Kong Xuan, Jie Yin was very puzzled and asked him why he wanted to manage the Mie Tian Sect in the lower world.
Kong Xuan smiled and said: "These monsters in the lower world are so pitiful. No one cares about their life and death, only you can care about them."
"Then where did the pilgrim go?" Jieyin asked.
Kong Xuan was slightly startled, "Didn't the pilgrims go to Xitian?"
Jie Yin's face was gloomy, knowing that Kong Xuan didn't know about the matter either, so he didn't say anything more and left again.
In Jisai Country, because of the Destroying Heaven Sect, the entire country has started practicing spiritual practice. Now even the King of Jisai has become a human immortal, which is very outrageous.
However, after some investigation, Jie Yin did not see the Buddhist scripture seeker.
He soon came to Chechi Country. Like Jisai Country, Chechi Country had a faint tendency for all the people to practice spiritual practice, but the Buddhist scripture seekers were not here either.
Jieyin still refused to let go, and went to Pingding Mountain, Huangfengling, Fuling Mountain and Shuangcha Ridge. These places are where the Mietian Sect is located. However, after investigation, there was still no clue about the Buddhist scripture collector.
Even in the end, Jie Yin even searched the soul, but he still didn't know the whereabouts of the Buddhist scripture seeker.
Immediately afterwards, he came to Datang.
The Tang King was old, but he was still waiting for Tang Seng, hoping that Tang Seng would return as soon as possible with the Tripitaka Sutra.
This shows that the Buddhist scripture seekers were not in the Tang Dynasty either.
There was no other way, so he was led to heaven.
After all, he was a clone of a saint, so the Jade Emperor and Taishang Laojun were naturally extremely polite when greeting him.
However, the Jade Emperor did not know the whereabouts of the Buddhist scripture seeker.
Even the Jade Emperor sent people to patrol the entire heaven, but no trace of the Buddhist scriptures could be found.
At the same time, the news that the pilgrim disappeared out of thin air spread throughout the three realms in an instant.
Upon hearing this news, all the gods and Buddhas were stunned.
They were very surprised that the pilgrims could also be lost?
Not only in the three realms, this news spread to the outer world in less than a day.
In the ancient times, there was naturally no shortage of powerful figures who silently paid attention to the journey to the west, such as Nuwa.
Now, those powerful people were also dumbfounded and started talking one after another.
The Second Saint of the West planned a journey to the west, spent a huge amount of money, and played for so long, but in the end, he actually lost people.
This quickly became a joke in the wild.
When Jie Yin heard someone taunting him, as a saint, he suddenly felt ashamed.
It was shameful, but Jieyin traveled all over the three realms and made inquiries in the wilderness. After all, he still couldn't find any trace of the Buddhist scripture seeker.
So he had no choice but to go back to Mount Sumeru to find Zhunti.
"Senior brother, what happened? Why have I heard some bad rumors recently?" Zhunti looked at Jieyin with an incredible look on his face.
Jie Yin sighed and had no choice but to tell Zhunti all about the past.
After listening to this, Zhunti suddenly turned pale.
"The pilgrim has disappeared. How could this happen? All the Buddhas have left Lingshan. Why?" Zhunti asked two questions in succession.
"Brother, I don't know about this." Jie Yin sighed repeatedly.
All this happened so fast that the two brothers were not even mentally prepared.
Lingshan has disintegrated and the pilgrims have disappeared. They want to repay the karma they owe to heaven, but they are even more wishful thinking.
"It's better to go find Master. If something like this happens, Master can't help us." He finally said.
Zhunti also nodded quickly.
They were really at a loss and had no choice but to go to Dao Zu Hongjun.
With that said, the two left Mount Sumeru and went straight to Mount Yujing.
Inside the Zixiao Palace.
As soon as the two arrived, they saw several figures, and their expressions changed.
These figures are none other than Taishang Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Cult Leader, and even Nuwa, who rarely appears, is here.
Obviously, after learning that the pilgrim was missing, everyone wanted to take advantage of the two brothers.
Nuwa was wearing green clothes and her breath was calm. When she saw Zhunti and Jieyin, her face was as calm as ever. She didn't care about worldly affairs and acted extremely indifferent to everything.
The reason why everyone is here today is not because they came on their own initiative, but because Dao Ancestor was calling.
In the center of the hall, Hongjun was also sitting there.
Zhunti and Jieyin came forward and saluted respectfully.
Hongjun remained calm.
Jie Yin said: "Master, something happened in the three realms. I don't know how to tell the master..."
"What else are you talking about? These things have been spread all over the world for a long time, and I have known about it for a long time." Hongjun said lightly.
Both of them were stunned.
The pilgrims were lost, and the spiritual mountain was disintegrated. Each of these incidents made them feel uncomfortable.
It is destined by heaven that Buddhism will prosper.
However, at this moment, instead of flourishing, Buddhism was on the verge of collapse, rapidly declining due to Tathagata's betrayal.
Regarding Tathagata's betrayal, Jie Yin naturally guessed that it had something to do with Maitreya.
He also knew Maitreya's character very well, and being able to force Tathagata to the point of betrayal showed that Maitreya had done something that angered both humans and gods.
However, Zhunti also had other speculations.
After all, Tathagata had betrayed Jie Jiao before when he called Taoist Duobao. Although he didn't know about Lao Tzu's plan to compete for Buddhist luck, Zhunti still had a very opinion of Tathagata.
"Since Master already knows, please give us a clear path," Jie Yin said.
They really have no way out now.
The scripture collector is a key figure and has been recognized by Heaven. Even if Lingshan is disintegrated, the scripture collector cannot disappear.
Hongjun sighed, "Now we can basically draw a conclusion. Most of the variables that affect the calamity of the journey to the west are among the missing Buddhist pilgrims."
"The mysterious man in black who was rumored before was probably fabricated by the variable at will and deliberately diverted our attention."
"Now if you want to continue the layout, you must find them first, otherwise all your plans will be in vain, and even I have no other choice."
