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

Seeing how obedient Tang Sanzang was, Tathagata felt much more satisfied.

The reason why he went to so much trouble to do all this was that he wanted to subdue Tang Sanzang and force him to become a good sword for him, right?

Tathagata pretended to be heartbroken and said, "Alas... Jin Chanzi, I can indeed give you a way to survive, but how far you can go depends on yourself."

Tang Sanzang was well aware of Tathagata's hypocrisy, and when he heard him say this, he just found it funny.

If Tathagata could really give them a way out, he would not have wiped out his followers and then pretended to be merciful and gave himself a way out.

But Tang Sanzang's two guardians had no idea of ​​the twists and turns inside.

Hearing the legendary Buddha say this, even though I knew the cruelty of Buddhism, I still couldn't help but feel excited.

After all, who would want to die if they could survive?

Seeing the joy of the two Dharma protectors, Tathagata said with a smile: "Golden Chanzi, you were once my disciple after all. Although you have now gone astray, fortunately you finally have the opportunity to convert again..."

Tang Sanzang fell silent. He really couldn't understand what Tathagata was doing. He said he wanted to give him a way out, but he was talking about all this nonsense.

The next second, the compassionate-looking Tathagata directly twisted the necks of the two guardians behind Tang Sanzang.

Not only that, he also completely wiped out the souls of the two guardians.

Destroy the body and cover up all traces...Tang Sanzang, with cold sweat on his back, somehow had this word flash through his mind.

"Are you scared? The culprit has been killed. Jin Chanzi, you are safe." Tathagata said with a smile.

Tang Sanzang looked at Tathagata in disbelief: "You promised to spare our lives... I... I already said they are innocent. Why?"

His back was already stained with blood, turning blood red.

The warm blood seemed to be mocking him. He couldn't protect what he wanted to protect.

It was like this in the past and it is like this now.

In fact, I thought I had been extremely cautious in founding this sect.

Even at the beginning, Tang Sanzang did have the intention of provoking and disgusting Buddhism.

But as time went on, he also seriously developed this sect.

Just as he once thought, Buddhism is now beyond salvation, so he might as well establish a new Buddhist sect.

But why?

Overnight, his sect was targeted and besieged by the Western Lingshan.

Even Tathagata, who had promised to give himself and the two remaining believers a way out, went back on his word.

It was not until this moment that Tang Sanzang realized that what Tathagata had said from the beginning was only "you", not "you guys".

In other words, from the very beginning, the choices given by Tathagata did not include these two Dharma protectors.

He had misjudged the situation and took it for granted that Tathagata was kind-hearted and willing to give him and the two believers a way out.

Tathagata pretended not to notice how ugly Tang Sanzang's face was at the moment. He smiled and said, "You must be very curious why you were caught by the Buddhist sect even though you were so cautious, right?"

Tang Sanzang didn't say anything.

Tathagata didn't care and directly revealed the answer.

Tathagata said slowly, "Because this sect has been noticed since its first appearance!"

"The reason we are wiping you out now is simply because the time is ripe. The Saint feels we can no longer allow you to continue in this state. It is safer to completely wipe you out."

At this point, Tathagata hypocritically expressed that it was a pity. If Lingshan was still in charge now, perhaps so many people would not have to die.

Saint? Tang Sanzang's mind seemed to be in a mess.

"Why are you telling me this?" Tang Sanzang instinctively questioned Tathagata.

He didn't believe that Tathagata was really so kind, and that he just wanted him to be a wise guy and told him so many things.

Tathagata continued, "Alas... Actually, after the last time, I've noticed that Buddhism has been eaten away by termites. But the saints are not satisfied with your disobedience and have been hunting you down, forcing you to flee."

Tang Sanzang was a little shaken when he heard this, but when he heard Tathagata put the blame for his being hunted directly on the two saints, he instantly came to his senses.

Sun Wukong had analyzed everything for him at that time, so Tang Sanzang naturally knew that the person in front of him was talking nonsense.

Tang Sanzang interrupted Tathagata's nonsense and said, "I no longer care about the past. The Buddha only said, 'What do you want me to do?'"

Tathagata spoke calmly, "Cooperation. I want to establish a new, smaller Buddhist sect, one not governed by saints. And since you also want to establish an ideal, clear Buddhism, I think you'd be a very good partner."

"Why? If the Buddha wanted to create a new Buddhist sect, wouldn't it be much more convenient for him to deal with me, a wanted criminal in Lingshan?" Tang Sanzang was confused.

Tathagata said: "It is precisely because I am now in the Holy Mountain that it is not as convenient for me to come here as you.

"If we work together, I can provide you with more inside information about Buddhism, allowing you to avoid being hunted by the Buddhas..."

Tang Sanzang was obviously shaken when he heard this.

Seeing this, Tathagata added fuel to the fire: "More importantly, it would be more appropriate to call the Buddhist sect today a demon cave!"

Tang Sanzang was shocked.

Being able to be said by Tathagata, it seems that the current situation of Buddhism is worse than he expected.

But on his face, Tang Sanzang still made an expression as if he was joking.

Tang Sanzang said hypocritically, "Buddha, please don't make fun of me. If a place as rich in spiritual energy as Lingshan can be called a devil's cave, then there is probably no quiet place in this world."

Tathagata said, "In the past, Lingshan was indeed peaceful and tranquil, not a demonic den. But now, with the Buddha Mother Cundi possessed by the devil, even the Saint Guiding is suspected of being connected to the devil... Don't you think such a Lingshan is terrifying?"

"How is this possible?!" Tang Sanzang didn't expect to get such a big piece of news, but he was wondering in his heart whether Tathagata wanted to take this opportunity to support a new sect to take power.

Tathagata's face showed reluctance, and he sighed, "Not only do you not believe it, I also didn't believe it when I first received this news. Tang Sanzang, Buddhism today is no longer what you and I imagined it to be."

"Just look at how the saints now can't even tolerate pagans, and ask us gods and Buddhas to personally send those pagans to hell. You can see the twists and turns in this."

"So you still want to reject me?"

After hearing the last part, Tang Sanzang could not bear it any longer and closed his eyes.

Tang Sanzang said, "If so, Buddha, I am willing to cooperate with you to establish a new and greater Buddhist sect."
