"Future Buddha, to be honest, I'm not afraid!" Guanyin said confidently.
Among the current saints, apart from Taoist ancestor Hongjun, the two saints of the Western Sect have the most abundant merits. Therefore, even if Sanqing and Nuwa besiege the Second Saint of the Western Sect, the Western Sect is not afraid at this time.
"I, the Second Saint of the Western Sect, have been stigmatized for several calamities for the development of our sect. This time, no matter what I say, I cannot let the saint be shamed. We, the Western Sect, are going to carry out our mission on the Aquamarine Planet with the strongest possible attitude. Crush it and engrave our orthodoxy on the Aqua Blue Star!" Guanyin said with some excitement.
I have to say that what Guanyin said was very good. Even if Maitreya wanted to object, he didn't know how to speak.
"Back then, we, the two saints of the Western Sect, plotted against the leader of the Tongtian Sect and united with the Taoist Erqing and Nuwa. This led to the great rise of the Western Sect today. If we are arrogant now, I am afraid we will make the same mistake as the leader of the Tongtian Sect!" Maitreya Buddha advocated for stability, I don’t want to be cannon fodder for this guy.
"That's enough!" Guanyin suddenly pointed at Maitreya and said angrily.
"I have said in the sect more than once that the Conferring Gods and Calaming Tribulation is originally due to the internal doctrinal differences of the Three Purities, and the Jie Sect is engaged in intercepting the way of heaven, and is disliked by the way of heaven. The combination of these many factors makes Jie The religion was completely defeated in the Conferred God Tribulation.
"And our two sages of the Western Sect just happened to meet and blessed some people in the Taoist sect who did not want to be on the list of gods. How come it became a conspiracy in your mouth, Maitreya!"
"It turns out that even you, the future Buddha, views our Western Sect's two saints in this way. No wonder the reputation of the two saints has not been cleared up until now!"
"I, Guanyin, hereby swear that during this calamity, I, the Western Sect, will set an example and show our strength to the sentient beings in the three realms, so that the sentient beings in the three realms will know the great power of our two sages of the Western Sect!"
.....
Guanyin suddenly attacked Maitreya Buddha and struck him with a combination of punches. Maitreya Buddha couldn't help but take a few steps back. It seemed that any further words would be disrespectful to the saint.
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is right. Although our Western sect is now the best in the three realms, our reputation is still weaker than that of Taoism!"
"Why do we belong to foreign teachers? We must behave well this time!"
"The number of people in our Western religion is ten thousand times greater than that of Taoism, why should we be afraid of them!"
.....
When the Bodhisattvas and Arhats heard Guanyin's words, they were also a little excited. It seemed that they were sitting in the Holy Land of Lingshan all day long, meditating, and they were really doing too little.
"Shut up, you are just a group of people from the Taoist sect wearing Buddha's skin. Don't harm our Western religion here. Our Western religion cannot send people to die in vain!" Maitreya Buddha was also angered and couldn't help blurting out.
Suddenly, the entire hall fell silent.
"Maitreya, be careful what you say!" Tathagata's face turned cold.
Ever since he became the leader of the Western Religion, he has devoted all his attention to the welfare of the Western Religion. If he hadn't been strategizing, how could Buddhism have flourished during the Journey to the West.
But in the eyes of these well-established Buddhist disciples, he was still an outsider.
Guanyin on the side was slightly proud. It was not in vain that she deliberately used words to anger Maitreya Buddha, and then used some tricks to force Maitreya Buddha to spill the beans immediately.
Many Bodhisattvas and Arhats present glared at Maitreya. Even after several kalpas, someone still remembered their heels, which made them feel chilled.
Maitreya saw everyone's behavior and knew that he had caused a big trouble. If he didn't handle this matter well today, he might lose his support.
The Western Sect has developed extremely rapidly in the past few kalpas, and has also cultivated Buddhist disciples with good roots. However, at the management level, most of them are Taoist disciples who defected to the Western Sect during the period of becoming gods.
Maitreya originally planned to gather these Buddhist disciples with upright and upright roots for his use, but he did not know that these Buddhist disciples with upright and upright roots had already been divided among the Bodhisattvas and Arhats.
Maitreya seems to be constantly making good friends with younger disciples and winning over people's hearts, but in fact, few people really rely on him.
"Buddha, this Maitreya Buddha has not yet taken over the teachings, but he already has the intention of rejecting us Bodhisattvas and Arhats. If one day he takes charge of the Western religion, I am afraid that we will not even have a way to survive!" Guanyin added fuel to the fire.
Tathagata shook his head and said: "Guanyin, you should also be careful with your words!"
Hey~
It's really a headache.
His biggest purpose in sitting on the throne of the leader is to enjoy the merits forever. In fact, he doesn't want to compete with anyone for anything.
The group of younger brothers behind him have been more active for a long time, and with Guanyin's presence, it really saved him a lot of trouble and allowed him more time to practice, so he delegated power to Guanyin.
Now it seems that Guanyin has managed the people of his faction very well and is monolithic, even Maitreya Buddha has suffered a hidden loss.
However, Maitreya's thoughts also made him wary. He was harmless, but others wanted to harm him.
"We Western sects are of the same mind and body. How come there is such a thing as Buddha's skin and Taoist mind? This matter is stopped here. Even I feel embarrassed if it spreads!" Tathagata said calmly, but he was knocking on Maitreya Buddha.
"Our Western religion has developed to the point where it ranks first in the three realms and is a major religion in the three realms. However, there are signs of internal differentiation. This deserves our wake-up call!"
"The bodhi tree has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so where can it cause dust? There was nothing wrong in the first place, but someone happened to cause trouble. So I agree with Guanyin's statement and send people down to the world to experience the world of mortals. heart of!"
Tathagata was originally neutral, but now that he is on the Guanyin team, this Maitreya really needs to be beaten hard.
"No! This matter has a great impact on my Western religion. I am afraid that even the Second Saint will not agree. If you insist on having your own way, then I will have to report it to the Second Saint!" Maitreya Buddha threatened.
Sending people to the lower realms to Aquamarine Planet can be said to be cannon fodder for many calamities. There is no chance of coming back.
When Maitreya saw the trembling disciples behind him, he knew that Guanyin's plan must not be carried out, otherwise the first batch of people sent to the lower world would most likely be these Buddhist disciples with upright roots.
"Maitreya, this matter has been decided by our leader, but you have brought the two saints out again and again. Do you think you don't even dare to take me as the leader seriously?" Tathagata said angrily.
He has been lifeless for several kalpas, and he didn't expect to break the precept today.
But Maitreya is so abominable that the two saints come to suppress him. If the other party succeeds today, his prestige will probably be reduced by half.
"Hmph! I don't care, I will ask the two saints to come out and let them see how you Tathagata dragged the Western Spiritual Mountain into the abyss of death!" Maitreya Buddha is also willing to risk it now. He knows that if he cannot alert the two saints today, he will Then he would have no chance to turn around.
He is a member of the Second Sage, so I think the Second Sage would be more biased towards him.
"Haha...childish!" Guanyin seemed to have guessed Maitreya Buddha's thoughts and thought to himself.
She had said so many words before and made such a long preparation, but she was all speaking from the heart of the saint.
"Presumptuous!" Tathagata was angry, and the atmosphere in the entire Lingshan Mountain sank. "The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes. What does it mean to be dragged into the abyss of death? You are also a quasi-religion leader after all, and you can say such wild words. It's so disturbing to me. disappointed!"
"You..." Just as Maitreya was about to continue to fight back, a powerful pressure descended on the Western Spiritual Mountain.
The Tathagata quickly stood up, faced outside the mountain gate, clasped his hands together, and said in his mouth: "I respectfully invite you, the saint!"
A group of Bodhisattvas and Arhats also hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Amitabha!"
"..." Maitreya Buddha was speechless for a while. He had never experienced this battle before, because he rarely participated in Tathagata's lectures and had no idea that there was such a process for meeting saints in Lingshan.
So his expression looked a little confused. To put it seriously, it was disrespectful to the saint!
