"Humph!" A soft hum sounded like thunder in Maitreya Buddha's ears, making him suddenly excited.
Tathagata was slightly happy in his heart. He did not expect that the etiquette Guanyin asked the Bodhisattvas and Arhats to learn was so easy to use. Apart from anything else, the smiles on the faces of the two sages of Western religions cannot be faked.
It is said that what a saint cares about most is his skin. It seems that this is an iron rule.
At the same time, they have cheated Maitreya, and Maitreya still can't find a place to complain, because everyone can do it, why is it that you, Maitreya, can't do it?
To put it simply, you, Maitreya, are so unpopular that no one told you about this.
To put it more seriously, you, Maitreya, have no ability to control your subordinates at all, and no one in the entire Lingshan Mountain takes you seriously.
The Second Saint did not often appear in Lingshan Holy Land, but he was treated with courtesy when he came this time, which was beyond their expectation and made them very happy.
Although they say they don't care about the Taoist rules, what they think in their hearts is a matter of opinion.
On the other hand, Maitreya, who was originally favored by them, stood in the most conspicuous position in the crowd like a fool. Wasn't this causing trouble for them?
Then, a nasal sound reminded him.
"Mi... Maitreya, I have met the teacher!" The frightened Maitreya then walked over and performed the master-disciple ceremony.
"Hiss~" Everyone gasped.
Not even the Tathagata thought that the two saints would accept Maitreya as a disciple.
You must know that even if Tathagata is included, he is only under the guidance of the two saints and has no qualifications to be a disciple of the saint.
This is also a scar in Tathagata's heart. He thought that when he was in the Jie Sect, he was a disciple of the Tongtian Sage. After switching to the Western Sect, although his status and strength increased, he lost the sage master.
The two saints were expressionless, but they were already unhappy in their hearts. They secretly accepted Maitreya as their disciples, hoping that one day in the future when Maitreya would take charge of Lingshan, they could use this status to intimidate the Western sects.
Now that Maitreya has exposed the master-disciple relationship between him and the saint in advance, it is equivalent to wasting a trump card.
Taoist Jie Yin glanced at Zhunti. Zhunti shook his head and said nothing, so Jie Yin ignored Maitreya.
"Disciple Guanyin, I have met the Second Sage. I didn't expect that Maitreya is actually a disciple of the saint. I just had a different opinion with Maitreya. I think I am too persistent. I guess the Second Sage has already had a holy judgment, but I, Meng Lang, !" Guanyin quickly stood up and apologized to the two saints.
Her move was to retreat in order to advance.
The two saints looked at each other, with obvious smiles in their eyes.
They know very well about Guanyin's little ninety-nine things.
But Guanyin has something in their hearts. Now that the Western religion is dominant in the three realms, it's time to clear the name of the two saints.
Among all the saints, the two saints of the Western religion are often criticized by sentient beings in the three realms. It is incredible to think about it.
Don't they want to save face?
"Three worlds say that Guanyin Bodhisattva is our diplomat of the Western religion, and he is really eloquent!" Jie Yin said calmly.
There was no praise or criticism in his tone.
But Guanyin knew that she was safe, because the sage already knew that little bit about her, and she still had to pretend not to know that the sage already knew that little bit about her.
The role she has to play now is to find a way out for the Taoist disciples who defected during the Conferred God Period. She must show their defectors' loyalty to Western religion.
"Your suggestion is good. You can send Buddhist disciples to the lower realms to the Water Blue Star, but they need to be the same as Hao Chan, except that the soul has been reincarnated in the past!" Taoist Jieyin continued.
Water Blue Star, as the main battlefield of the calamity, was jointly sealed by several saints and Dao Ancestor Hongjun early on, so if you want to send the soul to the lower realm, a huge amount of things need to be consumed.
Among the Three Realms, only the Western Sect has such resources and foundation, and even the Dao Sect only chooses a spokesperson on the Aqua Blue Star.
"Which of you is willing to go down to the lower world and teach the Dharma for me in the West?" Master Zhunti suddenly asked.
After one breath.
"Second Saint, my disciple is willing to go!"
"Disciples are also willing to go. I have practiced in Lingshan for three calamities, and my soul is strong enough!"
"I have practiced for four calamities, and my soul is stronger than yours. It is my turn too!"
.....
The Bodhisattvas and Arhats present were very enthusiastic. Could it be that there was a commotion similar to that of a vegetable market in Lingshan.
The Second Saint nodded with great satisfaction. You must know that the soul in the lower realm consumes a huge amount of resources. What's more terrible is that something may happen to the soul in the lower realm. It can range from loss of memory to the death of the soul in severe cases. .
There are so many Buddhist disciples at the scene who are not afraid of death, which is enough to show that Western religion is united and there is no need to worry about continuing to prosper.
But soon, the Second Saint frowned again.
Because the Bodhisattva Arhat who shouted so enthusiastically was a guest from the mortal world who was extradited by them during the Conferred God Period.
But the new generation of Buddhist disciples who were very optimistic about them lowered their heads and remained silent.
At this moment, one can imagine the disappointment in their hearts.
Fundamentally, they are biased towards these new generation Buddhist disciples, but the performance of these people is really unbearable.
Even the Maitreya Buddha on the side remained silent.
Maitreya Buddha naturally does not know the thoughts of the two saints, otherwise he would definitely be upset. He is the future Buddha and will be in charge of the Western religion in the future. Is it a joke to let him go down to the lower world to endure calamities?
Maybe in this calamity, Tathagata will step down, and he will wait to take over, and then rectify the Western religion, so that these disciples of Buddha Skin and Daoxin can clearly understand their status.
"This matter is left to Guanyin to take full responsibility. All the disciples she appoints must go down to the lower realms and endure the calamity!" Taoist Jie Yin said.
"Anyone who refuses to agree will have his golden body cut off and be reincarnated to rebuild his body!" Zhunti added.
After the Second Saint finished speaking, his figure had disappeared.
"Disciple, I obey!" Guanyin saluted with his hands together, already feeling happy in his heart.
The Second Saint entrusted this important task to her, indicating that he had agreed to send people to the lower world to the Aquamarine Star. He also hinted that he would not interfere with the alternation of old and new forces within the Western Church. Everything would depend on the methods of both parties.
Tathagata also wanted to understand at this time. He glanced at Guanyin with a bit of surprise. He didn't expect that he would let such a good thing happen by delegating power.
Originally, it was a long-established decision that the Future Buddha would take over his position, just like how the Ancient Buddha made way for him.
But now it seems that there are still variables in this. Maybe Tathagata can continue to stay on the throne of the leader for a few more kalpas.
Maitreya's face was very ugly. Originally, the Second Saint promised him that when the great catastrophe on the Aquamarine Star happened, he would take the throne. At that time, he would lead the Western Sect and enjoy the blessings of luck after this calamity.
But now, all this is in vain.
When Maitreya thought that the Tathagata had enjoyed many blessings from the gods, the Westward Journey, the White Snake, the Mo Dharma, and the man-made disasters, it was very likely that the Tathagata would also enjoy the blessings from the alien calamity this time, and he felt a little bit. Want to go berserk.
"Guanyin, how many people do you plan to send down to the water blue star?" Tathagata asked.
"This time I will directly achieve Arhat status and have three thousand disciples!" Guanyin replied.
This number almost includes all the new generation disciples in the management, and this time alone will completely wipe out the buds of the new generation.
As for those new generation disciples who are still at the middle and lower levels, they will slowly be absorbed into the Tathagata sect. Even if the Tathagata abdicates in the future, the Tathagata will still have the final say in Western religions.
"I don't agree!" Maitreya Buddha said.
