Journey to the West: After the Great Sage listened to the advice, the three realms were all confused

Samantabhadra looked at the burning gazes of Guanyin and Tathagata, and the hesitation in his heart emerged again.

He still wanted to remind Guanyin and Tathagata one last time that if they knew this secret, they might be in danger.

Therefore, they'd better consider carefully and make the right choice while they have the choice now.

When Guanyin heard this, she began to have some thoughts of retreating.

But who would have thought that next, she would see Tathagata speaking righteously and sternly to express his attitude.

Tathagata’s words were very beautiful.

He said, "Since you, Puxian, are willing to reveal this secret, it means you trust me."

"In that case, why shouldn't I take this gamble?

"No matter how big the secret is, you shouldn't be the only one to bear it."

No matter what Tathagata was thinking in his heart, at least he said it, and he did win Samantabhadra's gratitude and trust.

In this way, Guanyin, who wanted to withdraw, could not say no.

She sighed, "If there really is a huge secret, one more person would know it, and one more person would be able to discuss and make decisions."

In this way, Puxian finally spoke out the secret that had been in his heart.

Once this secret was revealed, both Tathagata and Guanyin found it very difficult to deal with.

Tathagata thought that Samantabhadra's secret would be very big, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

Guanyin was even more dizzy because of this secret. She wished that time could go back and she had never met the true spirit of Samantabhadra.

Since Samantabhadra dared to tell the secret in such a rigorous manner, then it was a foregone conclusion that Zhunti had become a demon.

According to some rumors, Zhunti has been resurrected long ago, but for unknown reasons he has not appeared in public.

It is obvious that they are afraid that the fact that Zhunti has become possessed by the devil cannot be concealed, so they do not allow the Zhunti Saint to appear in front of people!

Neither Guanyin nor Tathagata thought that Samantabhadra had the courage to associate with a saint.

"Samantabhadra, do you know that if what you said is fictitious, even I may not be able to protect you." With a long sigh, Tathagata looked at Samantabhadra seriously.

Seeing how serious Tathagata was, Samantabhadra knew that Tathagata had basically trusted this matter.

It’s just that there is no evidence, so Tathagata cannot express his opinion openly.

He gave a bitter smile, "If word gets out that I'm still alive, regardless of whether what I say is true or false, the end result will be annihilation."

There is absolutely no way that Zhunti and Jie Yin would allow themselves to continue to exist.

Tathagata closed his eyes and uttered a false Buddhist mantra: "Amitabha, even the saints of Buddhism could not resist the temptation and fell into the devil's sect. This is completely different from my ideal Buddhism."

"Amitabha, Buddha, should this matter be notified to other saints?" Guanyin suddenly asked.

Tathagata said slowly, "Although the two saints of our Buddhist sect have gone astray, their grace in saving our lives was not false. For now, let's keep this matter quiet... Quietly withdraw from important Buddhist affairs and reduce our presence."

Guanyin was puzzled: "Is this not appropriate..."

Tathagata said, "Nowadays, Buddhism is still ruled by the two saints, Cundi and Jieyin. If you and I become more assertive, I'm afraid we'll be misunderstood as vying for power. How can our fate be any better than Manjusri's?"

When Manjushri was mentioned, both Guanyin and Samantabhadra fell silent.

Tathagata murmured, "Nothing, nothing... As long as the core of Buddhism remains unchanged, it doesn't matter where we go."

Afterwards, he gathered and hid Samantabhadra's true spirit, and placed it on Guanyin's body under a beautiful name. It was very likely that it would be discovered by Jie Yin and Zhunti.

Tathagata is different.

Firstly, his cultivation level is there, so it is relatively difficult for Jie Yin and Zhunti to discover Samantabhadra.

Secondly, his presence in Lingshan is not as obvious as before, so it will be easier to properly place Puxian.

Guanyin thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she did not refuse.

But before she left, the words Tathagata had said before still emerged in her mind: "As long as the core remains unchanged, it will be the same wherever you go."

She looked at the departing Tathagata with some hesitation, but her heart sank involuntarily.

Does the Tathagata Buddha really have no idea about the inappropriateness of the two victories of Jie Yin and Zhunti?

The more Guanyin thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Tathagata's reaction seemed very indifferent from the beginning.

Even after learning that the Bodhisattva Cundi had become a demon, although Tathagata showed surprise, that surprise seemed to be deliberately expressed.

The more Guanyin thought about it, the more she felt that she had no idea what Tathagata was trying to do.

After thinking about it for a long time, Guanyin still couldn't figure it out, so she finally chose to give up.

That's it, that's it,

No matter what plans the Buddha has or what he thinks in his heart.

Now that she knows this secret, she is naturally bound to Tathagata to some extent.

In this case, there is definitely nothing wrong in following Tathagata.

……

After hiding Samantabhadra's true spirit, Tathagata's mood at the moment can be said to be very good.

Rather, it could be said that after Samantabhadra revealed the big secret, Tathagata has been in a very good mood.

He felt even more strongly that his intuition that Lingshan might be in trouble, so the little tricks he did secretly were not wrong.

This is not a secret poaching attempt, but a precautionary measure.

Recalling what he had keenly noticed when he went to meet Jie Yin before, Tathagata's heart tightened slightly.

Maybe Jie Yin himself did not realize how completely different his current situation was from before.

However, as an outsider, Tathagata could tell at a glance that Jie Yin was in an uneasy mood.

Originally, Tathagata thought that it was the fact that Zhunti was beaten to death by Sun Wukong that made Jie Yin's heart unstable.

But as soon as the story of Zhunti's possession by the devil came out, another speculation prevailed.

Obviously, Jie Yin fell into the devil's path earlier than Zhunti.

However, Jie Yin consciously controlled the abnormalities in his body, so no one noticed.

Tathagata thought: God is giving him a chance!

It is best to lead Cundi and Jie into the devil, causing the realm to be unstable and the loss of the saintly fruit.

In this way, he could aim to achieve the status of a saint in the West.

Justifiably.

How could a saint of heaven be two rebels possessed by demons!

The more Tathagata thought about it, the more excited he became, but out of caution, he only dared to show it when he was alone.

……

"Tathagata, I've given you all this time. Have you ever found out the truth behind the decline of Buddhist faith?"

After receiving the summons from Jie Yin, Tathagata adjusted his mood and rushed here in a hurry.

However, he didn't expect that Jie Yin called him here just to inquire about the truth behind the loss of believers.

Upon hearing this, Tathagata lowered his eyes, his face filled with hesitation: "This... I did find some information, but..."

"Just what? Just tell me directly!" Jie Yin's eyes were cold and he stared at Tathagata gloomily.
