Venerable Ananda is also one of the attendants around Sakyamuni. His status is equally high, second only to Venerable Kassapa.
This time, he went to Thorn Ridge as an envoy, which is the greatest goodwill shown by the Buddha lineage to the demon clan now - not only those Buddhas are unwilling to fight with the demon clan anymore, but also Sakyamuni himself , and is not willing to waste his energy and time on the demon clan.
After all, what they have to face next is an unprecedented era.
Similarly, Venerable Ananda also had considerable confidence in his own trip.
After all, although the demon clan is manic and violent, they are not stupid. They also have the ability to review the situation.
The demon clan obviously had no reason to reject the goodwill shown by Buddhism in acknowledging the identity of Lin Jiu Demon Emperor by abandoning the entire Buddhist demon lineage.
However, when Venerable Ananda's voice sounded, the demon gods who had not yet left on the Thorny Ridge looked at each other in shock.
Lin Jiu had already left Thorny Ridge, and this Buddhist envoy came and kept saying that he wanted to meet Lin Jiu.
So, what's the use of him coming?
The most important thing is whether they should see this Buddhist messenger or not.
After hesitating until the end, all the demon gods' eyes fell on Princess Wan Sheng and Demon King Peng.
Of these two people, one is the demon queen of the demon clan, and the other is the person who takes the place of Lin Jiu in charge of the demon summoning flag. Over the years, Demon King Peng has saved the lives of many demon gods with his unparalleled speed. Among the demon clan, It can be regarded as having an extremely high reputation.
When Lin Jiu was away, these two people followed the people who were most qualified to represent the Monster Clan.
"The lineage of Buddhist demons has set up a magic circle around Wuzhi Mountain to connect them. Over the years, many demons and gods have fallen into the hands of Buddhism due to carelessness. Now, people from Buddhism take the initiative to show goodwill and it is okay to meet them." Princess Wan Sheng After thinking for a moment, he made his decision.
"Come here, please bring Venerable Ananda up the mountain."
As soon as the words fell, a dragon statue coiled on a pillar in the Negative Palace came to life and turned into a human form. After bowing to the All Saint Princess, it went under the Thorny Ridge.
Not long after, an extremely handsome monk slowly stepped into the negative palace.
It was Venerable Ananda.
This is a famously handsome man in the world.
When he stepped into the negative palace, not only the female demon gods but also some male demon gods in the negative palace had their eyes in a trance for a moment.
"Amitabha, Ananda has seen the Demon Queen, has seen the Great Sage Hun, has seen all the great sages, and has seen all the demon gods." The moment he stepped into the Negative Palace, Lin Jiu's figure was not seen, and the face of Venerable Ananda was not there. He couldn't help but change slightly, but he still put his hands together and bowed to the demon gods respectively.
"Ananda has come here to meet His Majesty the Demon Emperor in accordance with my Buddhist decree. May I ask where His Majesty the Demon Emperor is?"
"After slaying the demon Buddha and rebellious Maitreya, His Majesty the Demon King has stepped out of the wilderness again and gone to the void to comprehend the great road."
"What did Sakyamuni Buddha have to say to His Holiness? Your Holiness and I have no differences." Princess Wan Sheng said.
Venerable Ananda kept his eyes still and acted as if he was speaking.
"My Buddha has said that the rebellion of the Buddha-demon lineage is an internal matter of the demon clan. I, the Buddhist sect, really have no intention of getting involved here. I hope the Demon Queen will notice clearly."
"My Buddha has issued a decree. From now on, all Buddhist pagodas and temples in our Buddhist sect will drive out all the Buddhas and demons from them."
Although Lin Jiu was not here, Venerable Ananda did not hide anything about his intention.
If you are still hiding it at this time, it is not to express goodwill, but to make enemies.
"Buddhism has no intention of getting involved." Princess Wan Sheng muttered.
This is obviously a different way for Buddhism to bow its head - to throw all the blame for starting the war on the head of the Buddha Demon Lineage, and at the same time make a cut with the Buddha Demon Lineage.
And their purpose is naturally to hope that the demon clan can complete their "War of Conferring Gods" as soon as possible, so that the war between the demon clan will stop with the Buddha demons, and the war will not spread to the Bon Basin. above the festival.
"Is it enough to drive away the Buddha demon?" Demon King Peng sneered, "Earlier, with the help of your Buddhist magic circle, the Buddha demon lineage framed countless demon gods. These demon gods, you Buddhists do not intend to give us the demon clan. Did one give an explanation?"
"Amitabha." Venerable Ananda sang again and defended, "This matter was all done by the lineage of Buddhas and demons. What does it have to do with our Buddhist sect?"
"According to the news from our Buddhist sect, currently, there are indeed some demon gods trapped in certain temples by the designs of the Buddha and Demon lineage. After the Buddha and Demon lineage is driven away, these demon gods will naturally escape from their traps."
"When the war ends, it doesn't matter if it's you or mine." Princess Wan Sheng thought about Lin Jiu's previous instructions and responded, "The only one who can make a decision on this matter is His Majesty the Demon Emperor."
"But His Majesty the Demon King is in retreat, so I'm afraid he won't be able to give Lord Sakyamuni Buddha an accurate response."
"Let's do this. I promise you that if the trapped demon gods can return to Thorn Ridge before my husband returns, then I will definitely lead many demon gods to advise His Majesty the Demon Emperor and ask His Majesty the Demon Emperor to control the scope of the war."
Are you kidding me?
Not only the goodwill released by Buddhism, but even if Sakyamuni came to this thorn ridge in person, Princess Wan Sheng would not be able to directly comply with Buddhism's request.
the reason is simple.
If at this time, Thorny Ridge and the Buddhist clan were in unison and coordinated, the Buddhist demon lineage had completely lost the hope of pulling the Buddhist clan into the water. After that, other people on earth who harbored evil intentions towards the demon clan saw this situation. Wouldn't it also be restrained?
On the contrary, only by staying at a distance from Buddhism and maintaining pressure on Buddhism at all times, so that Buddhism is always likely to be dragged into the water, will the monster clan's powerful enemies hiding under the water dare to come out and compete with the monster clan.
After listening to Princess Wan Sheng's words, Venerable Ananda immediately hesitated.
The promise of the Halloween Princess seems to be everything, but in fact it is nothing.
He led many demon gods to give advice to Lin Jiu, which sounded sincere - but it was just advice, and whether he listened or not, didn't it all depend on Lin Jiu?
Lin Jiu refuses to listen to advice, so Princess Wan Sheng and Buddhism are helpless, right?
As for the conditions put forward by Princess All Saints, first let those demon gods return to Thorn Ridge.
Once these demon gods leave, won't Buddhism completely lose the means to control the demon clan? In this chaotic situation, was he completely reduced to an extremely passive position?
While he was still hesitating, Princess All Saints' voice rang in Venerable Ananda's ears again.
"By the way, there is one more thing. Although His Majesty the Demon Emperor has not said much, I have to ask - before, after His Majesty the Demon Emperor killed the enemy, some powerful Buddhists came to attack him."
"Assaulting the Demon Emperor, doesn't Buddhism have an explanation for this matter?"
"Here we come!" Upon hearing these words, Venerable Ananda's heart skipped a beat.
This is the most unavoidable problem before Buddhism and the demon clan resolve the war.
