The Western Sect has developed to this day and has about 100 million members in Lingshan. This is the largest sect in the Three Realms. You must know that the Taoist disciples are only less than 10,000. It can be said that the Western Sect is now extremely popular.
However, there are only more than 10,000 people in the upper echelons of the Western religion who lead the 100 million members. Seven of them are mortals in the period of becoming gods, and the rest are the new generation of Buddhist disciples.
It is estimated that even the two sages of the Western Sect did not expect that Buddhism would have such an unprecedented scale today, but the crooked Hongchen Ke controlled the entire Western Sect, so they supported the future Buddha Maitreya.
Maitreya has naturally known the powerful relationship between this for a long time, and is also trying hard to figure out how to take over the Holy Land of Lingshan. However, in the eyes of Guanyin, all this is as ridiculous as a child playing house.
Guanyin's plan today is in place. She has obtained the power to arrange the lower realms of her followers and has taken the initiative.
"Future Buddha, this saint has just left, and you dare to disobey the saint's will?" Guanyin turned away from her previous calmness and frowned angrily.
Buddha has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and naturally he also has angry eyes.
At this time, Guanyin is equivalent to enforcing the law on behalf of the saint, and the necessary strength is indispensable.
But it was Guanyin's attitude that angered Maitreya Buddha.
"Guanyin, what is your attitude? I am a disciple of the Second Saint and the future leader of the Western Sect. Do I have no right to speak at all?" Maitreya is also angry. For some reason today, he has been tricked by Guanyin many times. Not only did they lose face, but they also lost their hearts.
"Future Buddha, do you want to use your status as a saint's disciple to pressure me?" Guanyin asked.
"Hmph! Guanyin, I don't care what your plans are. Anyway, there must be no Buddhist disciples of my new generation among the disciples in the lower world this time. Otherwise, don't blame me for suing you in front of the Second Sage!" Maitreya said non-negotiably.
Guanyin was slightly stunned and said: "Future Buddha, who I send to the lower world will naturally be comprehensively considered, and will definitely be selected based on the abilities of the Buddhist disciples. As for whether there will be a new generation of Buddhist disciples, this is not the case. I guarantee it!”
All the Bodhisattvas and Arhats nodded. Guanyin was really speechless and couldn't find any fault with her.
When Maitreya saw this scene, he felt angry again and blurted out: "Haha, I will ask you Guanyin to give me a guarantee today. Are there any Bodhisattvas and Arhats with high qualifications and strength in the religion? It's time for them to shine for our Western religion in the lower world. , and at the same time, it will also allow the new generation of juniors to have the opportunity to rise to the top!"
"What!?" Everyone stared at Maitreya Buddha, as if they could see his true face clearly for the first time.
Is this guy crazy? Why does he dare to say all kinds of nonsense?
Even the Second Saint did not dare to directly point out this contradiction within Western religion. He could only use gentle methods to boil the frog in warm water. You, Maitreya Buddha, dare to speak out like this.
"Amitabha, Maitreya, in terms of qualifications and strength, I'm afraid you are several levels higher than us. You must be one of the places in this lower realm. I don't accept the responsibility!"
"If Maitreya does not descend to the realm today, then I, Chunshui Arhat, will definitely not descend to the realm. After all, Maitreya is older than me and stronger than me!"
"I was born at the same time as Maitreya, so it's an honor for me to accompany the future Buddha to the next world!"
"Future Buddha, we are all ready to go down to the next world with you, and everything will be done for you, so just watch and give your orders!"
.....
Naturally, the Bodhisattvas and Arhats are not economical lamps. Although they dare not speak directly to Maitreya, they can still drag him into the water together.
"Why should I go down to the lower world?" Maitreya said unhappily.
Guanyin on the side was already happy. She didn't expect that her calculation on Maitreya would be fruitful today. Now Maitreya has already lost his head.
"Why can't you go down to the lower realm? Didn't you say that you have high qualifications and strong strength? Why can't this apply to you!" I don't know who asked.
"Hmph!" Maitreya snorted coldly, looking around.
When everyone saw him, they took a step back slightly, then lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
Maitreya, but the future Buddha, the future leader of the Western religion, has offended him, how can there be any good fruit to be eaten in the future?
However, everyone dared to be angry and dare not speak out, and the label of class differentiation was placed on Maitreya's head.
"This calamity is very important to our Western Sect. Should we take this opportunity to consolidate the position of the largest sect in the Three Realms, or should we give the opportunity to the Taoist Sect to rise? You should think carefully about it and let the experienced and powerful people descend to the realm. Just to make sure nothing goes wrong!”
Maitreya said grandly, "As for why I don't go down to the lower world, it's because I still have to sit in the Holy Land of Lingshan, ready to take over the position of leader at any time, and I'm serving the Western religion like everyone else, but you are outside and I am inside!" "
Shit~
This is the only thought in everyone's mind.
You, a fringe person with no merits and no virtues, still want to inherit the position of leader, how can you convince others?
Even Tathagata went through countless tribulations before ascending the throne, but what about Maitreya?
Moreover, after Tathagata ascended the throne, he also experienced a disaster. He left Lingshan and reincarnated as an adult for thirty-three years, and came back almost dead.
Similarly, Tathagata has excellent control over many calamities, helping Western religions to continuously expand their luck.
It can be said that the Tathagata is indispensable for the success of Western religion.
Don't you dare to directly let Tathagata step down without seeing the two saints?
"Absurd~" A loud voice suddenly appeared.
Thump~
Miroku immediately fell to his knees on the ground.
"There must be Maitreya among the people in the lower world this time!"
This was the voice of a saint. It came from nowhere and seemed to appear in everyone's hearts.
"Amitabha, we know!" Everyone shouted in unison, feeling happy in their hearts.
On the other hand, Maitreya's face was pale. He didn't believe that the Second Saint would actually arrange for him to go to the lower world. Doesn't this mean that he wanted him to die in disguise?
"This is fake, this is impossible..." Maitreya yelled in his heart, but he never had the courage to question it.
Tathagata and Guanyin looked at each other. They never thought that Maitreya would be trapped here today. Even if Maitreya could return to the Holy Land of Lingshan in the future, he would still have to endure to sit on the throne of the leader.
At least for four or five kalpas, Tathagata will probably have to sit on the throne of the leader.
"Guanyin, Haosheng has arranged for Maitreya to go down to the lower realm, provide him with the most favorable conditions, and at the same time send people to protect him. The development of our religion on the water blue star is secondary. The future Buddha must not make any mistakes!" Tathagata said.
What he said was sincere. After all, Western religion cannot live without a future Buddha, otherwise it will be detrimental to the fate of Western religion.
In the face of such great matters of right and wrong, Tathagata would never involve personal interests in it.
He warned Guanyin because he was afraid that Guanyin would secretly cause harm.
"Disciple, obey!" Guanyin nodded, she also had a bottom line in what she did.
Even though the saint seemed to be punishing Maitreya, he was protecting him and at the same time earning achievements for him, so as to lay the foundation for his future as the leader.
"Master Saint, although you two are kind-hearted, our Maitreya Buddha doesn't seem to understand!" This idea disappeared in Guanyin's mind as soon as it came up. She is such a cautious person.
The other side.
"I hope Maitreya can realize our painstaking efforts as soon as possible and perform well in the lower realm, so that we can stand up for him in the future!" Taoist Master Jieyin shook his head and said.
"If he can't see through this, then I really don't trust the Western Sect in his hands. I have managed it very well since I came to Tathagata. The Western Sect is now the largest sect in the three realms. Let him continue to be in charge of Lingshan. A few calamities won’t hurt!” Taoist Zhunti said calmly.
"Hey~" Jieyin sighed.
