Tathagata Buddha joined Buddhism precisely for the purpose of becoming a saint.
Otherwise, how could he abandon his identity as the chief disciple of Jie Jiao?
In addition to the two sages of the West, Zhunti Jieyin promised him a transcendent status precisely for this holy position.
Pangu created the world, and Taoist ancestors established the method of becoming a saint.
The number of saints in heaven is nine!
Later, Taozu gave a sermon in Zixiao Palace and appointed seven holy thrones, and the chance was determined by the order of seats.
In the end, Nuwa created people and became saints, the Three Purities established the religion and Zhunti established the religion and the Forty-eight Great Visions became the saints.
Six of the seven saints were successfully promoted.
Hongyun's lack of good fortune caused him to suffer karma, making it difficult for him to become a saint, and he suffered the consequences of his death and reincarnation.
The earth body of the ancestral witch empress transformed into six realms of reincarnation, with all the merits and blessings, but she lost her true body.
He can only become a saint in the human way, and he will not be among the nine saints in the heavenly way.
In other words, there are three more saints of heaven.
This is the method taught by the two sages in the West.
The more sufficient evidence is that one of them escaped.
When Patriarch Hongyun died tragically, a wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi escaped into the heaven and earth, becoming one of them.
Everyone in the three realms knows that the holy throne of heaven is lacking.
Tathagata has his sights set on the seventh holy position and intends to become the seventh saint.
He has been the senior brother of Jiejiao for the rest of his life. Although his status is highly respected, one person is inferior to ten thousand people.
But how can it compare to sanctification.
Therefore, when the two sages of the West used their holy status to win over him, Taoist Duobao finally chose to apostatize.
Became the current Buddha of the West, Tathagata.
The calamity of this life is determined by the calamity of the journey to the west, and the destiny of the west is destined to be prosperous.
As the current Buddha of Buddhism, the Tathagata occupies the greatest luck.
Plus the support of the Second Saint of the West.
He shall be sanctified.
In fact, how could Zhunti and Jieyin not support it.
Once the Tathagata becomes a saint, the West will get a third saint.
And it is far more harmonious than Taoism.
With three saints sitting in the west, why worry about Buddhism not flourishing?
Even if it's a head-on robbery, the three of them working together are enough to occupy a large amount of the rich land in the East.
Tathagata knew that the probability of this was not very high.
The biggest problem is that he didn't find the escaped Hongmeng Purple Qi at all.
Without the foundation for sainthood, one can only rely on luck to be promoted.
But this is an opportunity anyway.
With the help of the Second Saint of the West, the chances will be greater.
Let’s take a step back.
Even if Tathagata misses one move in the final move and fails to become a heavenly saint, the increase in Buddhist luck can still greatly increase Tathagata's strength.
Sitting firmly first among the saints.
It is also sowing, and the harvest is huge.
Tathagata was very excited. He abandoned everything and had been planning for a long time, all for the purpose of traveling to the west to measure calamity.
Therefore, he cares more about every change in Journey to the West than anyone else.
Only then would he have to stare at the spiritually luminous stone monkey bred by heaven and earth all the time.
When Sun Wukong was at Fangcun Mountain, he stared at Fangcun Mountain. Although it was the dojo of the Three Corpses of Saints, there were also ancient Buddhas who burned lamps and sent messages from the Five Directions.
When Sun Wukong returned to Huaguo Mountain, he personally paid attention to Huaguo Mountain.
For fear of making any mistakes.
But at this time!
Something happened in Huaguoshan!
The Tathagata is worried and cautious, just because he is afraid of even the slightest mistake.
The result is now good, no errors at all.
The entire Huaguo Mountain was covered by the saint's magical powers.
The secret of heaven is obscured and things are unclear.
Tathagata can no longer pay attention to the Flower and Fruit Mountain all the time, and pay attention to the bright stone monkey!
Even if he went to ask the two saints Zhunti and Jingyin, there was nothing he could do.
How did things become like this?
"Damn it!"
Tathagata couldn't help but curse angrily, anxious.
The Buddhas in Lingshan were sincerely reciting the Buddha's name. Suddenly they heard this strange voice, and their expressions became strange.
Everyone looked up and immediately saw Tathagata's anger.
The other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan felt extremely strange.
Tathagata, the current Buddha of Buddhism is so angry. Could it be that something bad happened?
to be honest.
Everyone really had a headache.
Buddhism has always been in trouble recently, with five parties uncovering truths, eighteen Arhats being killed, and a sea of blood fighting back.
There is also the abnormality of the Lingming Stone Monkey, which gives everyone a headache.
I was worried.
Especially the words about cholera left by the evil corpse of Chen Fan made the Zen hearts of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas turbulent.
There was doubt about the great prosperity of the West.
What exactly is the great prosperity of the West?
If there is only a certain degree of great prosperity, even the treatment they received in the Taoist sect will not be as good as before. It is better not to join the Buddhist sect.
Now there are problems again and again in Journey to the West.
It is inevitable that everyone will have strange thoughts.
"Buddha, what happened?"
Finally, the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng stood up and asked.
Ever since Sun Wukong reached the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal and left Fangcun Mountain.
Coupled with the fact that Wufang Jiedi was killed.
Buddhism did not send Ran Deng and continued to serve as Sun Wukong's protector.
Taiyi Golden Immortal is strong enough to protect himself in the Three Realms.
Even if there is any trouble, Buddhism will have enough time to come to the rescue.
What's more, Sun Wukong has become Taiyi Golden Immortal, his origin has not been damaged, and he is born with golden eyes that break the illusion.
Maybe you will feel the surveillance of Ran Deng.
So Ran Deng returned to Lingshan.
He continues to serve as the past Buddha of Buddhism and sits in Lingshan.
Tathagata glanced at Ran Deng and sighed deeply.
"The ancient Buddha didn't know something."
"Then something happened in Huaguo Mountain."
As soon as these words came out, other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan were shocked.
"What!"
"How could something happen to Huaguoshan!"
Buddhas and Bodhisattvas all over the sky could no longer care about other things, and activated various magical powers such as clairvoyance and celestial ears to check the situation in Huaguo Mountain.
They were all stunned.
"How is this going?"
"Why is the secret of Huaguoshan so chaotic? I can't see anything!"
Everyone panicked.
Ran Deng also had a look of surprise on his face.
Even with his strength, he was unable to see through the secrets of Huaguo Mountain.
Plus Tathagata's reaction.
Something really happened in Huaguoshan!
Huaguo Mountain is the starting point for the journey to the west and is very important.
Once something happens to Huaguo Mountain, the entire journey to the West will be greatly affected.
Once again, everyone couldn't help but speculate.
Is it possible that there is really no way for Buddhism to completely flourish?
The Zen mind was in turmoil, and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas could no longer calmly recite Buddhist scriptures.
"Buddha, what on earth is going on?"
Everyone looked at Tathagata, hoping to get an answer.
This can stabilize the Zen mind.
However, Tathagata shook his head slightly.
"I don't know either."
Everyone's hearts suddenly sank and they were greatly shocked.
Even Tathagata didn't know that the trouble in this matter was even more serious.
Can Buddhism really still thrive?
For a moment, people were panicked, and everyone began to panic.
Tathagata sighed and suddenly raised his voice.
"Huaguo Mountain is related to the calamity of the journey to the west, and must be investigated."
"Is there any venerable person who would like to check it out?"
The main hall fell into silence for an instant.
Everyone stopped talking and subconsciously looked at an empty position.
That is where the meditation of the five directions is revealed.
It turns out that checking the information of Huaguo Mountain is the task of five parties to uncover the truth.
However, Wufang Jiedi was killed by the people of the Ancestor Minghe.
For the time being, Buddhism could not find anyone else to take over this position.
There is no one to help.
The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats present looked at each other in silence.
