Hongjun spoke calmly, but his voice fell into Jie Yin Zhunti's ears, but it was extremely cold.
This shows that Daozu cannot help them.
The only way is to find a Buddhist practitioner.
However, the clone that took Yin had searched all three realms before and found no trace of the Buddhist scripture seeker.
"Master, can we personally enter the Three Realms to search for it?" Jieyin suddenly said.
Hearing this, the surrounding Sanqing, Nuwa, and even Zhunti looked at Jie Yin in surprise.
Taoist ancestors have long said that saints are not allowed to visit the three realms in person.
And this instruction has continued from the end of Conferring God to today.
After all, Tongtian shattered a corner of the ancient world and formed the Three Realms. Today's Three Realms are very fragile.
If a saint enters, I am afraid that the three realms can be shattered with a snap of his fingers.
So this is not allowed by Hongjun.
"No." Hongjun finally responded.
Saints are not allowed to visit the Three Realms in person. This is an ironclad order and a bottom line that must not be violated.
"You can move around as you like in the ancient land, but in the Three Realms, you can only arrange it for others." Hongjun continued.
"clear."
Jie Yin's face turned pale and he immediately bowed.
After being informed of this, Zhunti and Jieyin ignored Sanqing and Nuwa, turned around and left Zixiao Palace.
When Sanqing and Nuwa came to Zixiao Palace, they didn't mean to see the joke of the Second Saint of the West, but Hongjun wanted to ask them if they knew about it.
Leader Tongtian was somewhat gloating about the misfortune of the Second Saint of the West, but he had not had any contact with Lin Xian during this period, and he had only just learned about the disappearance of the pilgrims and the disintegration of Lingshan.
Zhunti and Jieyin returned to Mount Sumeru.
However, they did not sit idle. Instead, they directly issued a Buddhist decree to Maitreya, asking Maitreya to gather all the remaining members of the Buddhist sect and start a carpet search in the three realms.
And the two of them also have to explore in the wilderness.
Just as the Western World was planning to move out, on the other side, in the forbidden area of the Western World, a group of pilgrims were immersed in practice, as if the external world had nothing to do with them.
Lingshan.
Maitreya squatted in the empty main hall, with a puzzled look on his face.
Tathagata had moved everything that needed to be moved away, and he didn't even have a place to sit, so he could only squat.
At this moment, he was holding his chin in his hands, feeling very distressed, and his originally smiling face became extremely sad.
At this moment, a golden light fell from the sky. Maitreya noticed it and immediately raised his head.
"The decree of the saint? Could it be that Dao Zu is going to help me in the West?"
Maitreya was overjoyed, and he immediately took the decree into his hands. Bad things happened one after another, and he could only pray for some good things to happen. For example, the saint asked Taoist Hongjun for help.
However, he thought too much after all.
Even Hongjun can't do anything if the Buddhist scripture seeker is lost.
The saint's decree was to allow him to gather all the power of Buddhism to find the whereabouts of the Buddhist scripture seekers in the three realms.
As expected, it would be absolutely impossible without people who have learned the scriptures.
Looking at the deserted Great Leiyin Temple, Maitreya looked even more distressed.
The only ones left were Samantabhadra, Medicine Buddha, Sunlight Bodhisattva, Moonlight Bodhisattva and countless other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
Most of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan had followed the Tathagata before. Now there are only ten people left. What kind of power can they muster?
Not to mention, finding Buddhist scripture seekers in the Three Realms is like finding a needle in a haystack, not that easy.
Seeing Maitreya's sorrow, Samantabhadra stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Buddha, what did the saints say?"
Maitreya did not answer, but looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I will give you a task now."
Hearing this, everyone looked over.
Maitreya continued: "After receiving the order from the saint, we need to find the Buddhist scripture collectors, but before that, I need you to send a message to summon all the Buddhist disciples who are currently living outside to Lingshan. We need to hold a unique conference.”
Everyone was stunned. This task was very difficult, but it was much simpler than finding someone to learn the scriptures.
"Go now and split up." Maitreya looked at everyone.
"Follow the Buddha's decree."
Everyone looked at each other and left Lingshan one after another.
After doing this, Maitreya fell into deep thought.
Now that Lingshan has become like this, the Eastern religion still owes the Western religion the cause and effect. Shouldn't Heaven also contribute to the search for Buddhist scriptures?
Miroku suddenly thought of this.
When Lingshan disintegrates, Heaven will definitely know about it.
But the disintegration of Lingshan does not mean that Buddhism ceases to exist. You still have to repay it if you come out to live in peace.
Thinking of this, Maitreya also dodged and left Lingshan.
In the past, the Buddha had to find someone to take charge of the overall situation before he left. Now that Lingshan is empty, I'm afraid not even thieves will care about it.
Heaven.
Maitreya also spent a lot of effort to enter the Lingxiao Palace.
Sure enough, the phoenix that fell into the water was not as good as a chicken. The majestic Buddha of Lingshan was treated differently. After multiple reports, he was allowed to enter.
Looking at the Jade Emperor sitting high up, Maitreya performed a Buddhist ritual.
The Jade Emperor looked down at Maitreya, looking extremely arrogant, and asked lightly: "Buddha Maitreya, why did you come to my heaven?"
"Your Majesty, the scripture collector disappeared for no reason, and my Lingshan is short of manpower, so I came to your Majesty to borrow some people."
The Jade Emperor raised his eyebrows.
This Maitreya is so thick-skinned that he can even say such things.
It’s no wonder that there are still traces of the prosperity of Buddhism in Lingshan now. In the past, Lingshan was a Buddhist country, but now Lingshan is just a mountain.
It's just that the Jade Emperor was unwilling to do such a bad thing like Maitreya borrowing people as soon as he opened his mouth and helping them find Buddhist scriptures.
Why should I, a dignified Taoist, help a Buddhist who is on the opposite side?
"Well..." The Jade Emperor hesitated.
Maitreya looked at the Jade Emperor, his face full of expectation. At this time, he really hoped that the Jade Emperor would nod in agreement.
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
The Jade Emperor was also embarrassed to refuse, and just said: "This matter, because I am a Taoist and you are a Buddhist, so... I need to report this matter to the Taoist and get the Taoist's consent."
The Jade Emperor was obviously hesitant and unwilling to help.
Maitreya's face suddenly turned ugly. Do you, the Jade Emperor, have to report this trivial matter to Taoist Hongjun?
This is obviously making things difficult for him.
However, Maitreya did not dare to attack, after all, he was now outnumbered.
"Then when will Your Majesty go to Daozu?" Maitreya asked.
The Jade Emperor waved his hand and said: "Maitreya Buddha, please go back first. I will report this matter to Taozu as soon as possible."
"That's very good."
At this point, Maitreya didn't say much, he just bowed and left.
The Jade Emperor spoke as quickly as possible. He didn't know when it would be, or immediately, or in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. Maitreya didn't have any hope for this either.
Sure enough, after Maitreya left, the Jade Emperor sneered.
