Chapter 207 Lingshan Splits! [Happy Dragon Boat Festival to Everyone]
They all showed horrified expressions and looked at Maitreya and Tathagata in disbelief.
"Duobao! You are so slanderous!"
"If you speak arrogantly, aren't you afraid of the punishment of the Second Saints?"
Maitreya was also very angry. He didn't expect that the biggest rebel leader in Lingshan would be Tathagata.
After the battle in Tongtian, without saying a word, he led the Lingshan army and immediately withdrew from the demon clan, and even compensated 100 million merits.
Tathagata Tathagata, the History of Love, is an undercover agent placed by Tongtian in Lingshan.
"Haha, what? Are you angry because I told you that you had a dirty conspiracy in your heart?"
Jian Lingshan’s army was divided into two camps.
One side is the Tathagata faction headed by Samantabhadra, and the other side is the Tathagata faction headed by Maitreya.
"You know very well what kind of character the Second Saint of the West is. How much merit have we contributed over the years?"
"But have you ever seen what a merit pool looks like?"
"The Second Saint is guarding us like thieves. Why?"
"I'm afraid you don't know why our own merits, even what they look like in the end, and how much they are?"
Seeing that Tathagata was dividing the cohesion of Buddhism, Maitreya instantly became furious.
"Tathagata, all this is for the great cause of Lingshan and the ultimate happiness of all living beings. Don't confuse people here with your evil words."
Maitreya was sure that the merits of Lingshan must have been robbed by Tathagata and outsiders in order to help Tongtian rebuild Jiejiao.
"Am I misleading people with my lies?"
Tathagata approached Maitreya step by step, and his powerful momentum made countless people unable to lift their heads.
"How much merit have we contributed over countless epochs?"
"At least everyone has donated tens of thousands, right? It's more likely that everyone has donated hundreds of millions, right?"
"But have you seen what the merit pool looks like? Do you know where your merits ultimately go?"
"The only thing I got is that for the great cause of Lingshan, if the same amount of kalpas are completed, hundreds or even thousands of times of merit will be returned. What else is there?"
"What did you get besides a verbal promise?"
As soon as Tathagata's words came out, the Buddha's heart of Maitreya's group was instantly ignited. At this moment, self-doubt finally arose.
Especially those who participated in the Journey to the West to measure the tribulation, who do not have meritorious assets worth hundreds of millions?
For a moment, his eyes were full of questioning, waiting for Maitreya's answer.
For a moment, Maitreya was like a light on his back. He wanted to explain, but he couldn't find any words to refute.
Because everything Tathagata said is true, the two saints are so shameless.
"What? Did I tell you right?"
Since Maitreya cannot be used by himself, there is no need for Tathagata to give you a good look.
"Hmph! Tathagata, please stop talking nonsense here. All this will be decided by the saint. When the saint comes back, all your conspiracies and tricks will be revealed."
Maitreya's face was full of promise, but it all looked pale and weak. He only knows how to use the name of a saint to suppress others.
This has fallen into the ears of many Buddhas, and it is not easy to intimidate them. Isn't this a naked threat?
"Haha, saint?"
"You open and shut your mouth, what else is there besides a saint?"
"I'm afraid that the Second Saint at this time has already gone to Zixiao Palace to hide."
Maitreya was so angry, and the cold gazes behind him made his whole body feel cold.
"Sage, please show up quickly. Tathagata is too strong and I can't stand it."
Maitreya kept praying in his heart, but the two people who were far away in Zixiao Palace, crying at the door with runny noses and tears, how could they have time to pay attention to him?
The two of them were kneeling at the gate. They couldn't even get in. They were rolling around outside and begging for a hug.
"Duobao, are you trying to split Buddhism?"
"Don't forget, you have already rebelled once. Do you really want to be a slave of the third surname?"
Maitreya emerged with wisdom in a hurry, and put the essence of all problems into plain view with one word.
Unexpectedly, Tathagata actually smiled instead of getting angry, and even laughed out loud.
He smiled wildly and extremely arrogantly.
"Why are you laughing? Isn't what I said the truth?"
After a long time, Tathagata's cold tone and emotionless words reached everyone's ears.
"What kind of person are the Second Saints? I don't have much. How many of you voluntarily joined Lingshan in the first place?"
"I, Tathagata, have used my strength to prove the Dao of Hunyuan Daluo. I have the capital to compete with them, and it is beyond their control."
"They were afraid that I would take away their authority in the Western world, so they planned a catastrophe on the mountain."
"They took away the merit pool themselves, and asked me to bring you angry people to come to the demon clan to raise an army to question the crime."
"Just imagine, along the way, how many creatures have you killed in your rage?"
"If we really have a decisive battle with the demon clan, how many karma of dead souls will we bear?"
"With such cruel and vicious behavior, how can there be a place for us in a spiritual mountain where all living beings are equal and can be reborn in bliss?"
"When the time comes, you will mercilessly pin the label of squandering merit on my head, and then justifiably kick me out."
"I'm talking about yes and no!"
As soon as Tathagata said this, everyone in Lingshan was shocked. In addition, Tathagata did not hide it at all. Doesn't this mean that it was announced directly to the three realms?
At this moment, all the creatures in the three realms looked at the distant western world with horrified eyes.
All the creatures in the three realms know that it is extremely shameless to welcome Zhunti and the two of you. Back then, I, a poor Taoist, had a predestined relationship with me in the West, so I forcibly took you to Lingshan to become a monk.
After Tathagata's words, they still underestimated the shamelessness of these two people.
Their scheming was so vicious and cruel.
Because Tathagata was beyond his control and did not want to share part of the benefits, he directed and acted in this farce.
If it really succeeded, Tathagata would really become the biggest sinner in the Journey to the West.
In the Journey, the first sinner to provoke war was enough to be nailed to the pillar of shame in the prehistoric world.
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
"You are full of nonsense. The two saints are definitely not that kind of despicable people."
Unexpectedly, Maitreya was still the most stubborn faction in Lingshan. Tathagata looked at him with a smile.
The kind expression made Maitreya tremble all over.
In his heart, the supreme saint who had the long-cherished wish of all living beings, how could he be such a despicable person? He Maitreya would never accept someone insulting his inner beliefs like this.
"Whether I'm right or wrong, you can just let the two saints come out to confront each other."
The Tathagata's words were so domineering and resolute that countless people believed them.
"This stupid disciple, by mistake, found such a grand reason for rebuilding Buddhism."
"Now Lingshan is completely desolate."
Tongtian felt a little guilty when he heard Tathagata's domineering question.
After all, it was him and Haotian who plotted against Buddhism, and the two saints of Lingshan were just scapegoats.
Tongtian couldn't help but think about how the creatures of the three realms would feel when the truth was exposed one day.
What kind of terrifying encirclement and suppression would they face at that time.
Maybe the punishment of the gods will not appear, but facing the accusations of all living beings is inevitable.
It's just a pity for Tathagata, let's make up for him in the future.
But seeing Jie Yin Zhunti taking the blame, and such a huge blame, Tongtian couldn't help laughing out loud.
As long as it can make things difficult for the two saints of Lingshan, Tongtian is very happy to support it.
"This Tathagata is really courageous, worthy of being a person who can prove the Dao of Hunyuan Daluo."
Nuwa also heard Tathagata's domineering declaration, and revealed the conspiracy of the two saints in one sentence.
I didn't expect that she would use her demon clan as a stepping stone to expel Tathagata from Buddhism.
I don't know if the two saints have been stupid because of their practice, or what's wrong with their brains?
Such a terrifying strong man, or Hunyuan Daluo who proved the Dao with force, even if he gave up the merit pool, what would it matter?
The foundation brought by a strong man, that is something that countless merits cannot exchange for. How can the two of them not settle this account?
Glancing at Tongtian, Nuwa thought that this matter must not be as simple as it seems, and there must be other unknown secrets.
"Tongtian Daoyou, you really accepted a good disciple!"
Nuwa said meaningfully, causing Tongtian to roll his eyes.
"The Tathagata's talent is indeed amazing, but he has betrayed my Jiejiao.
Tongtian looked so distressed that Nuwa frowned slightly.
She saw only relief, surprise, and happiness in his eyes, but no disappointment, let alone regret.
"Could it be that the turbot Tongtian has a deeper plan?"
Nuwa thought of many things, including Laozi's transformation into Buddha, the many Jiejiao disciples among the Lingshan Buddha, and why a traitor could become the master of all Buddhas.
